DPM 2012 SP1 off-site backup withn Library.

$

0

Hello.

I need some help with DPM 2012 SP1.

I want to have an off-site backup, and for this purpose we have bought an HP MSL2024 Tape Library. I have created many Protection Groups and every Protection Group Backups up 2-3 virtual servers (in a Hyper-V cluster). So far I am backing up to Disks. When I started having backups to my Library I noticed that every Protection Group that I have uses a single LTO tape. I want to ask a couple of things:

  1. Is there any way to use one LTO tape to backup many Protection Groups?
  2. Is there any way to “partition” my Library so that I can use specific LTO tapes for specific Protection Groups jobs?
  3. I want to have an offsite copy of all the Protection Groups. The problem is that if have created a Protection Group that backups up VM1 and VM2 for example, I cannot select VM1 and VM2 for backup on another Protection Group. Is it possible to do it? For example some PowerShell commands?  

What I want to achieve in general is:

  1. Use 18-19 LTO tapes for the daily backup (with retention period 4 weeks for example). These tapes will never be removed from the Library.
  2. Use 2-3 LTO tapes for backing up the same VMs every Thursday and remove the 2-3 LTO tapes on Friday for an offsite backup.

 

How can I create this scenario?

Active Directory Topology

Hello,
I'm writing to ask for a question regarding Active Directory Topology Configuration.

Active Directory Topology

I have Site A, Site B and Site C:

  • Site A is directly connected to Site B;
  • Site B is directly connected to Site C;
  • Site A can reach Site C passing through Site A.

I have to define Site Link(s) under Active Directory Sites & Services.

Based on information above, which is best way to setup it ? As Best Practice it is recommended that a site link contain only two sites. That said is it recommended to create first two only or all of three Site Links below ?

  1. Site Link Site A <=> Site B
  2. Site Link Site B <=> Site C
  3. Site Link Site A <=> Site C

Thank you.

Bye,
Luca

Trust Relationship not fully removed

$
0
0

Hello,

we recently remove a trust relationship to an external Domain that has now been retired. However there is still an object of class Microsoft_DomainTrustStatus in the database which is causing Operations Manager to trigger alerts.

How can I remove this object safely.

I tried netdom trust /remove /force however I receive the error that either the domain is unavailable or "file not found".

When I restart one of the domain controllers of the retired domain the error message changes to "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." and the error message on the object in AD changes to "Access Denied." or "The workstation does not have a trust secret".

The trust does not show up in "Active Directory Domains and Trusts". When I do a netdom query trust on some DCs the list is empty on other DCs the output looks like this:

Direction Trusted\Trusting domain                         Trust type
========= =======================                         ==========
          olddomain.local
Direct
The system cannot find the file specified.
The command failed to complete successfully.

I hope someone has some advise.

Thank you

Netbios consideration during Samba to AD migration

$
0
0

Hi there,

I'm doing some search for possible SAMBA to 2012 AD migration and I do have some concern regarding to Netbios. Based on my scenario below, users are using ABC\user_account to login to the system. In this case, keeping the same netbios name during and after the migration will definitely help IT team and will prevent end user conflicts.

As the samba and AD servers are on different subnet using the same Netbios name shouldn’t introduce any conflict however I’m not quite sure if this is supported or possible with ADMT…

So my question; would it be possible to use the same Netbios name during the migration?

Current SAMBA :

dns name            :a.b.c

netbios name    :ABC

Subnet                 :1.2.3.x

New AD :

dns name            :q.w.e

netbios name    :ABC

Subnet                 :1.2.30.x

Any comments or explanations would be appreciated…

Thanks,

Cem

8453 Replication access was denied

Hi

I have root domain contoso.dom (DC1 and DC2) and subdomain sub.contoso.dom (DC3).

I see error event 2896 on DC3

A client made a DirSync LDAP request for a directory partition. Access was denied due to the following error. 

Directory partition: 
DC=sub,DC=contoso,DC=DOM 
Error value: 
8453 Replication access was denied. 

User Action 
The client may not have access for this request.  If the client requires it, they should be  assigned the control access right "Replicating Directory Changes" on the  directory partition in question.

No fails or errors in BPA.

Also if I try to run on DC1 repadmin /replsummary I can see:

         

site\DC3 via RPC

        DSA object GUID: 0458a97c-437e-49a4-8f9c-095fd7340834

        Last attempt @ 2013-12-19 15:27:27 failed, result 8418 (0x20e2):

  The replication operation failed because of a schema mismatch between the servers involved.

        118 consecutive failure(s).

        Last success @ 2013-12-18 08:12:03.

How can I solve this problem?

Several issues of AD LDS to support Multiple forests.

$
0
0

Now in our project we need to support multiple forest by using AD LDS.

After investigation I found it seems there are several issues by using AD LDS.

1: AD LDS hides all domain information of the integrated AD DS. Although we can create more than one application partition or different OU on one application partition for different AD DS.

2: sAMAccountName should be unique of special domain in AD DS, however when AD LDS integrated with more than one AD DS. it is broken in AD LDS, it seems a critical issue of authentication in AD LDS.

3: when more than one user with same sAMAccountName, how to identify which user is to authentication.

the above issues only focus on the AD DS user synced to AD LDS, not AD LDS local user.

ANYBODY with experience already proved when to support multiple forests by using AD LDS.

AD recovery Query

$

Hi, I am planning for an AD upgrade from 2003 to 2012. The AD consists of single forest, single domain and 4 sites and 6 domain controllers. The functional level is Win 2003.

My plan is to introduce one AD 2012 server as domain controller to the existing infra. So in the process of introducing the first 2012 DC , in case any issue happens or anything goes wrong , I would need to restore the AD to the previous level. 

So I would like to know the process of complete recovery back to Win 2003 in case of issue.

Phantom Object on a last non-GC DC?

$

Hi,

I'm wondering what happens to the phantom object on the last non-GC domain controller in the domain/forest once it becomes a GC? Are they get destroyed immediately or they will stay hanging around in the database forever? Should I transfer Infrastructure Master to that DC before making it a GC to cleanup those?

Thanks,

Ivan
