Don't worry, I guarantee all the stuff you REALLY need to know, you'll find out in your production environment at the worst possible time.

Yeah but that's true for any system management software, be it SCCM, SMP, or otherwise.

All we used Zenworks for is imaging, so this is all new. We never had system management software before and I've worked at this place for 10 years. Yeah. Luckily we have an outside resource coming in to install and configure it. I just have to learn how to admin it. *Just* Quick question though - do you recommend putting the agent on servers or only clients?

Use client fallback on sysvol and netlogon folders.

We had some folks in the class that weren't full time sys admins, and they constantly needed a little more time for each exercise. The virtual labs we were using were also all hosed up for a day and a half which set us even farther behind.

Our SCCM class will be "we have the new server time to install SCCM" then we will fart around with it for a while trying to get it to work.

Hi All, I'm deploying SCOM 2010 SP1. I've installed the agents on domain machines with only minor issues. However, the servers that really need monitoring are in workgroups. I believe I've followed the steps that I can find but I've just hit a wall. The workgroup clients I'm trying to monitor show up in the console, just as Not Monitored. They have event 20070 in the event viewer: "The OpsMgr Connector connected to (my server), but the connection was closed immediately after authentication occurred" It suggests looking for 20000 events. I can't see anything in the servers event log that would be causing issues. Do any of you have ideas how I can troubleshoot this?

Martytoof posted:Slow AD booting You can configure Procmon from Sysinternals to run on start up that will give you an indication of what process is taking so long to start. Install on one of your DCs, select Options->Enable Boot Logging. I've used this method previously to troubleshoot something similar. *edit* You will need to add the duration column to get an indication on what is timing out.

Im hoping this is the correct place. Im needing to allow more then 2 remote desktop sessions on server 2008r2. I want to double check the cals I'll need. Our rep quoted us for Remote Desktop Services Device CALS, but didnt seem confident initially. Im not sure if there is an easier way to do this, but we have multiple people needing to access a set of software that runs on a server under a specific username.

Then you need a terminal server with cals, so your rep is correct. You won't all be able to log in under the same user name though.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think so. If someone tries to login under the same account, the other person would be kicked off.

Can't they just log in as themselves and "run as..." the software as the necessary account? Push out a shortcut with that setting and you're done. But yes, that doesn't change the fact that it sounds like lovely software design.

evil_bunnY posted:Quoted the part you need to fix. It does have VNC, but that is by the software developer/support that uses that connection. Wouldnt there be an issue with that many people using the same session? Im worried about things like mouse control, and closing programs other people are using. The only way to access the software when it is running is on that one user account, they cant use an additional user account to even run reports.

It is licensed software, but Im pretty sure it was made by 2 people in their garage. They do not have client software, literally everything is done from the server. Edit: Got it worked out. They just couldnt explain things well. They were using the same user account for everyone for RDP but only needed one program that they can use without the other stuff running. Now to fix the issue where 20 people are using the same account to rdp and all will be swell. Drumstick fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Apr 9, 2013 |

There's a Group Policy setting under: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Connections called: Restrict Terminal Services users to a single remote session quote:If you disable this policy setting, users are allowed to make unlimited simultaneous remote connections by using Terminal Services.

Does anyone know anything about Taskpad? It's a way to make a customized view of Users & Computers. I'm using it to give some people to create users and add them to groups. I've found plenty of guides, but I haven't been able to understand what exactly is going on beyond duplicating the steps. I feel like this could be a really powerful tool, but there's almost no information about it anywhere.

What is the easiest way, given an excel spreadsheet full of IP addresses, to do an nslookup on all of them? Bonus points if I can easily run a command within Excel to create a column of Hostnames, next to the IPs. I can think of several ways, but they all seem to be reinventing the wheel, so I'm sure there is a better way.

I don't know about doing it inside excel, but scripting something in powershell wouldn't take long at all, import a .csv with the ip addresses and export a csv with ip and hostname columns.

We're about to purchase our first 2012 Server. It's going to be a PDC replacement. Our domain is currently littered with other 2003 servers, windows xp boxes, exchange 2003. Is there going to be any compatibility issues by upgrading the physical PDC server to windows server 2012? I ask, because we found out the hard way that Outlook 2013 does not work with Exchange 2003 so now I'm worried about everything. I do know that the domain functional level will have to sit at 2003 until we upgrade the secondary DC.

Have you used 2012 before? The metro interface is so great. Sarcasm. The only problem you might run into is that Exchange 2003 does not support Windows Server 2012 DCs. http://clintboessen.blogspot.com/2013/01/exchange-2003-and-windows-server-2012.html

http://jayteknews.blogspot.com/2011/08/excel-user-defined-function-nslookup.html I found this. Pretty much exactly what I wanted. It's a pity you have to enable macros for it to work, but nothing is preventing you from taking the output and pasting it into a non-macroed format afterward. The code even has handy exception handling if the DNS doesn't exist or whatever.

Has anyone experienced desktop/graphical lag when RDP'ing to Server 2012 systems from Win7 SP1? It happens about 60-70% of the time so now my RDP workflow for 2012 is to connect, check performance, disconnect, reconnect, check perf, etc. etc until I get a good session. Google has led me to updating to RDP 8.0, mess around with the RDP performance settings, and some registry edits but nothing has completely resolved my issue. Anyone else experience this?

Perhaps try disabling your UDP connection over RDP? I know RDP 8 introduced UDP connectivity - if you hit the connection graph icon in the RDP title bar it will say something like "your connection is excellent and is using UDP." I think I read somewhere on Technet that while UDP can help with WAN performance of RDP connections, it can introduce some input lag due to the nature of the UDP stream being connectionless. Kind of a shot in the dark here, but might be worth disabling via the registry and testing.

If I've got a non FSMO domain controller in a remote site that's throwing disk errors on both drives in a RAID1 config (and I'm not backing up system state, just data on the server) would it be prudent to demote it while I can? The machines in that site have another site's AD server set up as a secondary AD server so they will be able to sign on. Dell ProSupport is probably going to be out there on Monday morning (it's in London, I'm in NY) to replace both drives and reinstall windows. I've had to manually edit AD before and it's not fun at all. So this is probably the preferred step right?
