DCDiag results

configuration: 3 DC - 2003, 2008, 2008

run dcdiag: test services did not pass on 2003 DC

message: it should be WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS not WIN32_OWN_PROCESS

Go to registry :- HKLM-system-CCS-Services-RpcSs . Select RPCSS .

look at the right side you will see a Binary value as "Type" its value is set to 10 . 10 is for WIN32_OWN_PROCESS

If you will change it to 20 in decimal it will be WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS .

Did it on 2003 DC.

GPO processing 1006 1030 errors on terminal server.

issue: Some users accounts randomly stop process GPO.
solution:

1. Make the user account memeber of "domain admin" group.
2. Login to TS with the account.
3. From CMD run "rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr" command.
4. Delete everything from "Stored User Names and Passwordds" GUI.
5. Remove the user from "domain admin" group.

Backup VM on Hyper-V Cluster

First: Backup Exec 12.5 agent for Hyper-V does not work for the cluster configuration! So, you will spend $1000 for nothing.

Here how you can backup VMs with Microsoft Windows Backup. I did configure it for Windows 2008 sp2 Hyper-V cluster.

1. Enable Windows backup on each cluster node.
2. Create a batch what will include backup of all VMs and Quorum in the cluster.
3. Using Windows Scheduler run the batch (with high privileges).

The script example:

echo off

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\hvbackup\hvvms\dc01 -include:N: -vssFull -noVerify -quiet

if %errorlevel% equ -2 echo skipped dc01

if %errorlevel% equ -2 goto quorum

:quorum

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\hvbackup\hvvms\quorum -include:Q: -vssFull -noVerify -quiet

if %errorlevel% equ -2 echo skipped quorum

if %errorlevel% equ -2 goto ts02

:ts02

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\hvbackup\hvvms\ts02 -include:S: -vssFull -noVerify -quiet

if %errorlevel% equ -2 echo skipped ts02

if %errorlevel% equ -2 goto util01

:util01

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\hvbackup\hvvms\util01 -include:P: -vssFull -noVerify -quiet

if %errorlevel% equ -2 echo skipped util01

if %errorlevel% equ -2 goto util02

:util02

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\hvbackup\hvvms\util02 -include:O: -vssFull -noVerify -quiet

if %errorlevel% equ -2 echo skipped util02

exit

The script you will need to run on each node and it will skip VM currently on other node. In my configuration I have separate LUN for each VM it is not R2 yet.

Do not forget to apply Microsoft fix on each Hyper-V host: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958662
