install dlink powerline kit

I pre-configure the two adaptors with passwords, no hassle.

I also used a power-spliter (with surge-protect) to connect those adaptors, it is fine, the speed is not good at one premise (18Mb), but it is otherwise steady, so far.

those kits definitely doesn't like power-stripe.

WINS in windows 2008 R2

winsmgmt.msc is a feature in windows 2008 and 2008 R2

after replacing windows 2003 PDC with 2008 R2, I heard they are complaining about their app running slow.

so I enable wins, and started computer browser serice in 2008 R2.

also point SQL server's wins settings to windows 2008 R2

things are lots faster now.

What’s the Microsoft Computer Browser Service?

think the year is 2010 not 1996?

http://www.petri.co.il/whats_the_microsoft_computer_browser_service.htm

well I got a problem where the w7 pc on a windows 2008 r2 PDC based domain can't see the network folder properly.

w-xp can see the PC lists, though. but the w2008r2 netowork folder listed those pcs on the network, then those entries just vanished. this happened to w7 as well.

how frustrating

.. double check on wins, then enanle computer browser service on the pdc ... seemed fine now

windows server 2008 backup

as we all know its images based

if you stick a usb drive and configure it for windows backup, it supposed to hide the drive letter.

some AD FSMO stuff PDC, Schema master, RID master, infrastructure master, domain naming master

http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Managing-Active-Directory-FSMO-Roles.html

I just quote his good point here
Forest root domain - Schema Master and Domain Naming Master on the same machine, which should also host the Global Catalog.


Every domain - PDC Emulator and RID Master on the same machine, which should have beefy hardware to handle the load.

Every domain - Never place the Infrastructure Master on a machine that hosts the Global Catalog, unless your forest has only one domain or unless every domain controller in your forest hosts the Global Catalog.
 
now in my own word:
schema master and DNM are unique to the forest
PDC,RID and IM are on the domain level.
 
Global Catelague ... GC ... I always struggling with this one... this one seems more important than others. it is set in AD site services, so it is site based or location/subnet/physical based
 
 
 

DC=3DTapi3directory

http://www.wiredbox.net/forum2/Thread13149_DCPROMO_to_demote_problem_with_TAPI3Directory---.aspx

This DC holds the last replica of the following application directory =


partitions: DC=3DTapi3directory (then contains domain name and DC=3D =

local)"



Is it safe to continue/remove? Is Tapi3Directory important?

remove AD from a windows 2003 server

make sure transfer 5 FSMO roles over, and make the new DC an GC

then run dcpromo

it will ask whether it's the last dc, and local password

then it will do the last replication

in my case i got a warning about ms tapi3 app partitition not on the other server, can't be transferred.

there is an error about netlog  problem about gc. tick off this server as gc to continue

the msg is gc is autheticate logins, or dear i thought dc can do that ...?
