Hi, ich würde etwas mehr Geld investieren. Habe bei mir im Testlab letztens einen meiner Server erneuert. Ist einer von Fujitsu geworden -> http://www.fujitsu.com/fts/products/computing/servers/primergy/tower/tx100/ Noch 32 GB ECC RAM dazu und man hat genug Luft für die Virtualisierung. :) Round about 900€. Ohne die 32 GB ECC RAM hat der Server nur 8 GB ECC RAM und kostet dann ca. 670€

Hi, welche Anforderungen soll der DPM denn erfüllen? Also was soll gesichert werden? Soll der DPM virtuell oder auf Physik laufen?

Hi, kurz noch dazu VMM 2012 und VMM 2012 SP1 können P2V, bei VMM 2012 R2 wurde die P2V Funktionalität entfernt!

Hi, Service Pack 2 sollte auf dem Windows Server 2003 installiert sein.

Hallo Community, seit gestern steht das Update 2 für das Windows Azure Pack zur Verfügung. Damit werden die folgenden 10 Probleme behoben: Issue 1 The PowerShell cmdlets Get-MgmtSvcSubscription , Get-MgmtSvcPlan and Get-MgmtSvcAddOn cannot retrieve a Subscription, a Plan, or AddOn through a specific Subscription, Plan, or AddOn ID, respectively. Symptoms When you use these PowerShell cmdlets to retrieve any of these three objects, you notice that the command allows only the retrieval operation through the specific name of the objects, that you cannot retrieve base on a specific ID. Resolution Now the parameter with a corresponding ID can be used to retrieve the corresponding object. Issue 2 Usage Collector Service loses its configuration after Windows Azure Pack Update 1 is applied. Symptoms When you deploy Update 1 over an existing deployment by having the Usage Collector Service configured and fully functional, you notice that the Usage Service stops working. Resolution This issue does not occur in Update 2. The Usage Service configuration is preserved and no manual steps are required. Issue 3 The Plan Creation Event provides NULL for the Plan Display Name to Services registered to receive this notification. Symptoms For any Service that is registered to receive notifications, the Plan Display Name is passed as NULL when a Plan Creation event is generated. Resolution In Update 2, the Display name value is passed instead of NULL. Issue 4 The Web Application Gallery Service generates a large amount of temp files in its Temp folder. Symptoms Every time that the WebAppGallery service restarts, it creates a new temp folder. The temp folder stores the cached feeds that contains the Metadata of the available gallery applications and their dependencies and the actual application packages. The service is scheduled to restart every 1,740 minutes. This causes the growing number of temp files over time. Resolution In Update 2, the Display name value is passed instead of NULL. Issue 5 Resizing dynamic memory virtual machines through machine profiles causes an error when the new maximum memory exceeds the original maximum memory. Also, changing between static to dynamic or vice versa in the machine profile results in an error. Symptoms When a tenant user sets the value of the dynamic memory virtual machine to a value that is greater than the original maximum value, an error is generated and the operation fails. Resolution This process is now possible in Update 2 and no errors are generated. Issue 6 Active Directory was not enabled for Windows Azure Pack WebSites Resource Provider. Symptoms Administrators had no way to configure WebSites Clouds to use Active Directory. Tenants have no way of enabling Active Directory Account Management and Authentication for their websites. Resolution In Update 2, this functionality is available for Administrators to configure and for Tenants to use. Issue 7 It is difficult to discover how to create Co-Administrators for an existing subscription. Symptoms Tenant users typically go to “My Account” and “Subscription” drawer and pane, but do not see an option there to create Co-Administrator. Resolution In this Update, a new link is added to the “My Account” drawer set of options. Issue 8 Error messages in Administration Site that refer to un-configured services in a Plan do not specify the problems. Symptoms When you try to update a Plan, such as when you make it public, an error is generated if any of the Resource Providers it contains are not configured. This message does not specify the problem or which Resource Providers are affected. Resolution In Update 2, the messages are more informative, and the user can take corresponding actions. Issue 9 Subscription Update Events are provided in the Pending Approval state instead of the Acknowledge state. Symptoms Billing System receives the Subscription Update Event in the Pending Approval state. Resolution In Update 2, the Billing System receives the Subscription Update Event in the correct state. Issue 10 An obscured error is returned when a Tenant creates a database by using a security token whose corresponding password does not meet the SQL Server domain policies. Symptoms The user receives an unrelated SQL error about a SELECT statement that contains an invalid column. Resolution In Update 2, the tenant sees the correct error and can resolve it by changing the credential password. -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2932946

Hallo Community, seit gestern steht das UR2 für die folgenden System Center 2012 R2 Produkte zur Verfügung: Data Protection Manager Operations Manager Orchestrator Service Manager Service Provider Foundation Virtual Machine Manager -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2932881 Data Protection Manager Beim DPM werden die folgenden 6 Probleme behoben: Catalog generation fails for SharePoint 2013 sites that contain app store parts. DPM does not display Recovery Point Volume Used Space. It is always set to 0 KB. SetBackupComplete called prematurely causes SetBackupSucceeded to be called and 0×80042301 in VSS. SharePoint item level recovery fails when the first part of the site URL matches another site in SharePoint. Status reports say DPMDB is not being protected even though it is protected and there are valid Recovery Points on tape for it. Invalid Trace Message format string causes second chance System.FormatException and termination of DPM Process. Ebenfalls neu sind mit dem UR2 für den DPM die Unterstützung von Windows Server 2003 Workloads und Protection of SQL AlwaysOn with Clustering. -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2958100 Operations Manager Beim SCOM werden die folgenden 9 Probleme behoben: Issue 1 This update rollup makes the stored procedure performance aggregate more robust against out-of-range values. Issue 2 Adding multiple regular expressions (RegEx) to a group definition causes an SQL exception when the group is added or run. Issue 3 Web applications fail when they are monitored by the System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2 APM agent. Issue 4 Service Level Objectives (SLO) dashboards sometimes load in several seconds and sometimes take minutes to load. Additionally, the dashboard is empty after it loads in some cases. Issue 5 Operations Manager Console crashes when you try to override the scope in the Authoring pane. Issue 6 The System Center Operations Manager console is slow to load views if you are a member of a custom Operator role. Issue 7 This update rollup includes a fix for the dashboard issue that was introduced in Update Rollup 1. Issue 8 SQL Time Out Exceptions for State data (31552 events) occur when you create Data Warehouse workflows. Issue 9 This update rollup includes a fix for the Event Data source. Da einige manuelle Schritte nach der Installation des UR2 erforderlich sind, unbedingt die Installation Notes und Installation Information beachten. Zu den manuellen Schritten zählen das Importieren von Management Packs und das Ausführen eines SQL Scripts auf der OperationsManager und der OperationsManagerDW Datenbank. -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2929891 Orchestrator & Service Management Automation Beim Orchestrator werden die folgenden drei und bei der SMA die folgenden zwei Probleme behoben: Orchestrator: SNMP issue Orchestrator: SNMP issue Orchestrator: Monitor Service issue SMA: Module Caching Issue SMA: Inline invocation of runbooks fail if the child runbooks contain a signature -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2904689 Service Manager Beim SCSM werden die folgenden 15 Probleme behoben: Assume that users have both SMTP and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) endpoints. When you send email messages to these users from the Service Manager console, Service Manager uses the Lync SIP endpoint as the email address. After you select the Service Requests with Service Level Warning feature, an error occurs about one hour later. After you select the Assigned to me view, a FullAdapter exception occurs about one hour later. When the Service Manager console runs in maximized mode, you encounter one or more of the following issues: You experience slow performance in the console, and the console consumes excessive CPU resources. Context menus in the console are not displayed as expected, and instead it is displayed at the upper-right hand corner of the main window. Scroll bars for the work items preview pane do not display when you run in full-screen mode. Even if the scroll bars display, they are still inactive and you cannot move the slider. Certain forms or wizards do not display appropriately. Specifically, only the left navigation pane displays and the right area is blank. When you create or edit on a User Prompts page in a request offering, the page is not displayed appropriately. When you scroll on an open work item or a configuration item form, the scrolling does not work. In this case, you can have the mouse held over the scroll bar for scrolling. When you run PowerShell workflows at the same time, the results are displayed as successful. Actually, the workflows fail. When a user tries to open an already opened attachment from a work item form, an exception is thrown. After you mark a release record as Closed , the attachment and associated details cannot be retrieved. When you create service requests from Request Offerings , it takes a long time to display the request offerings form. When you try to use a service request template, the console crashes. When you try to create a service request, a NullReferenceException exception is thrown and the console crashes. The Service Manager console shows a generic Microsoft SQL exception instead of the detailed Data Collision exception when you run in a non-English environment. The p_DataPurging stored procedure is not completed during database grooming. Additionally, event ID 8623 is logged in SQL log that indicates the query processor runs out of internal resources and cannot produce a query plan. Assume that you add multiple RegEx expressions to a group definition. When you add or execute the group, a SQL exception is thrown. The Configuration Manager connector does not handle updates to the DeviceHasSoftwareItemInstalled property correctly. A divergence occurs in the data synchronization between the Service Manager and Configuration Manager databases. When Service Manager has any Management Packs from an earlier version present, MPImporter cannot import Management Packs from Operations Manager. -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2904710 Service Provider Foundation Bei der SPF werden die folgenden 6 Probleme behoben: When you resize dynamic memory of virtual machines to a new maximum memory size that exceeds the original maximum memory size, an error occurs, and the resizing fails. When a high volume of subscriptions are created or edited at the same time, the subscriptions can end up in an out-of-sync state. The Add-UserRoleProperties.ps1 script does not prevent a VMNetworkQuota object from being created that has a null stamp ID. Then, a failure occurs in the Windows Azure portal during the synchronization of the subscriptions. When you update a customer quota through SPF, if one of the artifacts that is being updated is missing in Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), an exception is thrown. The Get-SCSPFVMRoleGalleryItem cmdlet does not populate the ResourceExtensionProperty property. You cannot create a virtual machine from a Windows Server 2012 R2 VHD by using Windows Azure Pack. This issue occurs because the product key of the VHD is not specified. -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2932939 Virtual Machine Manager Beim VMM werden die folgenden 30 Probleme behoben: Files cannot be found on a network-attached storage device that uses NetApp storage and Server Message Block version 3 (SMBv3) protocol. After an account’s password is changed, the Scale-Out File Server provider goes into a “not responding” state. VMM wipes the System Access Control List (SACL) configurations on ports. When an uplink profile’s name contains the “or” string, VMM console cannot show its details when it adds the uplink profile to a logical switch. Dynamic disks cannot be used as pass-through disks. When you create a standard virtual switch on a host without selecting the Allow management operating system to share this network adapter check box, the virtual switch is created. However, the virtual switch still binds to the host unexpectedly. Network address translation (NAT) uses port number 49152 or a larger number, which Windows prohibits from being used by NAT. When a virtual machine IP address type is static Out-of-Band and there is no IP address pool that is associated with the virtual machine network or the logical network, migration is complete with multiple errors. If a highly available virtual machine is migrated from one node to another node by using Failover Cluster Manager, you receive an error message that indicates the absence of VHD files. Some performance issues in VMM. Connection with Operations Manager fails in a non-English environment. After you upgrade VMM from System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to System Center 2012 R2, VLAN settings disappear and cannot be saved in the virtual machine. Virtualization gateway could not be discovered by management packs. The New-SCPhysicalComputerProfile Windows PowerShell cmdlet fails with a NullReferenceException exception. Assume that you put a host into maintenance mode. When any highly available virtual machines cannot evacuate successfully, they are put into a saved state instead of into task failures. Assume that you have a computer that is running VMware ESX Server to host virtual machines. Additionally, assume that cumulative progress for many applications, scripts or actions (that is reported by guest agent) becomes large. In this situation, all deployments time out, as the guest agent cannot communicate to the server successfully. You cannot deploy a service template to VMware ESX 5.1 hosts. Additionally, you receive an error 22042 and a TimeoutWhileWaitingForVmToBootException (609) exception. When you migrate a virtual machine together with Out-of-Band checkpoints, database corruption occurs. Pass-through disks are not updated correctly in the database after they are refreshed from an Out-of-Band migration. Assume that hosts establish a Common Information Model (CIM) session that can send policies to the host after the Hyper-V Network Virtualization initialization. Additionally, assume that a policy-sending activity is initiated before the CIM session creation is completed. In this situation, policies are stuck in the sending queue, and the host does not receive any Hyper-V Network Virtualization policies. Communication is broken in Hyper-V Network Virtualization. When you use a same user name for Run As Accounts in guest customization, a conflict occurs. You cannot use a parameter together with .sql scripts for a Run As Account during a service installation. You deploy a template that uses empty classification to a cloud. However, the template does not respect storage classifications that are set on the cloud. When Windows Server fast file copy cannot deploy files successfully, the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) fallback task continues using the fast file copy credentials. Nach dem Update muss ein SQL Script ausgeführt werden, daher gilt auch für den VMM unbedingt die Installation Instructions beachten. -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2932926

Danke für die Rückmeldung!

Wie gewünscht. Es geht im anderen Thread weiter. :)

Hi, in diesem Artikel wird die Problematik im Detail beschrieben. -> http://workinghardinit.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/teamed-live-migrations-in-windows-server-2012-does-use-all-members/

Hi, der Artikel ist zwar schon älter, aber beschreibt die Einstellungen im Detail die heute noch zutreffen. -> http://www.faq-o-matic.net/2006/04/30/endlich-ordnung-auf-dem-dns-server/

Hi, wie schon gesagt wurde, Windows 8 mit aktivierter Hyper-V Rolle kann nicht in das Management aufgenommen werden. VMware Workstation nutze ich ebenfalls auf meinem Firmennotebook. Zuhause habe ich eine dedizierte Testumgebung. :)

Hi, hier mal zwei Links: -> http://www.hyper-v-server.de/management/aufbau-und-einrichtung-eines-failovercluster-unter-windows-server-2012/ -> http://www.hyper-v-server.de/hypervisor/die-installation-eines-funktionierenden-failovercluster-unter-windows-server-2012-mit-nur-einer-physischen-netzwerkkarte/

Sind die File Server physisch oder virtuell? Das Projekt hat insgesamt 1 Monat gedauert und hat sich dabei auf 6 Monate erstreckt. Daten wurden knappe 20 TB bewegt.

Hi, habe dieses Szenario letztes Jahr bei einem Kunden von mir gehabt. Ganz kurz: 1.) Neues Cluster aufsetzen mit einem temporären Namen für die File Server Rollen. 2.) Daten rüber kopieren und anschließend bis zum finalen Umschalttermin synchronisieren. 3.) Downtime einplanen 4.) Am Umschalttermin erhalten die File Server Rollen auf dem neuen Cluster die Namen der alten Rollen sowie auch deren IP-Adressen. Die Rollen auf dem alten Cluster ergänzt man mit old oder ähnlichem und ändert auch dort die IP-Adressen.

Hi, wie Dunkelmann schon sagte, der VMM Agent wird auf einem VMM Library Server später installiert, daher muss es sich um einen Windows Server handeln. Eine Übersicht der unterstützten Betriebssysteme findest du hier: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610631.aspx

Hi, korrekt mit einer Generation 2 VM kann nur noch ein ISO Image für das DVD Laufwerk verwendet werden. Generation 1 VMs bieten beide Optionen Hostlaufwerk und ISO Images.

Hi, grundsätzlich sollte man, wenn der Storagehersteller den Treiber zur Verfügung stellt, den DSM Treiber des Herstellers verwenden. Wie es ja bereits von meinen beiden Vorgängern gesagt wurde. :)

Hi, hier noch zwei Links. Die v5900 sehe ich dort allerdings nirgends. -> http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/11/05/gpu-requirements-for-remotefx-on-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx -> http://www.amd.com/US/PRODUCTS/WORKSTATION/GRAPHICS/SOFTWARE/Pages/remote-fx.aspx Wobei das ja nichts zu bedeuten hat.

Hi, du trägst nur den Router ein. Zu B. passt auch soweit.

Hi, ab Windows Server 2012 und höher mache ich es so, dass die Auslagerungsdatei vom System verwaltet wird. Ich lege hier keine feste Größe mehr fest. Zu dem Thema gibt es aber auch einen KB-Artikel: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2860880

Neu ist das schon, wenn man bedenkt das Microsoft es erst mit Windows Server 2012 R2 eingeführt hat. Wichtig ist halt nur, dass der Hyper-V Host mit Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter installiert ist. Als VMs können dann Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, Standard und Datacenter mit dem AVMA Key betrieben warden.

Hi, hast du nach der Installation des UR1 auch das SQL Script ausgeführt und die Management Packs importiert, wie im KB-Artikel beschrieben? -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2904678/en-us Unter den zu importierenden Management Packs sind auch zwei für den System Center Advisor.

Hi, geht auch bei Hyper-V solange die VHD/VHDX am SCSI Controller hängt und mit 2012 R2 kann man sogar die VHDX wieder verkleinern.

Hi, Windows 2000 ist kein unterstütztes Gastbetriebssystem unter Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V. Falls irgendetwas nicht funktionieren sollte oder nicht so richtig liegt es daran. Einfach im Hinterkopf behalten. :)

Danke für die Rückmeldung. :)
