Reset domain Admin password on a Windows Server 2008 with only the official DVD

 

Hi

I have a lab, and I forget the Domain Admin Password.

Do you need to recover it?

Resume:

Start with the Original DVD

Go to the recovery options

Change de Utilman.exe file

Restart the Domain, and open the cmd console. Change the user password

Restart with the original DVD

Change the Utilman.exe file to the original

Restar the Domain with the new password.

Regards

It works well

Windows 2008 Cluster. Blade, HA and so on

Hi

I have a discussion

I have 2 chassis blade.

The main chassi has a Hyper-V R2 Cluster. I have a SQL08 Cluster in VM.

In the second chassis, I installed a Node3.

If the first chassis fail, I have another chassis with one node.

But , he we are the problem

I have Node and File Share Witness for the cluster.

I have a notice about the cofiguration when I introduced the Node 3.

WICH is the best option?

The first option is not enough. If the first chassis is down. I only have the Node 3.

The last option is a solution, but It is not recommended.

Did Microsoft think in this problem?

I have VM for the cluster, but the Quorum options are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palo Alto Networks and Windows Server 2008. The perfect lab.

Hi everyone

My company was searching for an UTM. (Web filtering and anti-virus). But we need HA, Logs, Active Directory integration, Transparent mode, Layer 3 features also.

We tested Ironport, Finjan, Fortigate, Trendmicro virtual applicance over Hyper-V, PIneapp, Barracuda appliances. We read the features in the bluecoat, websense, F5, stonegate appliances also.


is this the best option?. (http://www.paloaltonetworks.com/, PaloAlto Networks).

Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 in Cluster.

Hi everyone

This lab runs very well.

But, I would like to share some problems to set up this lab:

a) You need .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. If SQL Wizar doesnt launch the setup, you cand installed from the SQL DVD. DVD:\x64\Redist\DotNetFrameworks\dotNetFx35setup
b) Same for Windows Installer 4.5. DVD:\x64\Redist\Windows Installer\x64\Instmsi45
c) You need install Powershell as well from Features console.
d) I got a IP duplicate error. Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface got the guilty.
Verifying that there are no duplicate IP addresses between any pair of nodes.Found duplicate IP address . . . . .

Links that I followed to solve the problem.

set devmgr_Show_Nonpersistent_Devices=1

devmgmt.msc

ncpa.cpl

I switched off the teredo Tunneling ghosted NIC.
I uninstalled the teredo tunneling ghosted NIC.
Device manager NICs and ncpa console must show the same devices.


d) I got a warning about binding NICs.

NOTE: You need to push Alt+N in English or Alt+A to show the advanced menu.
You need to enter in the advanced features and change the binding order.





After these problems, the installation was right.


PS: The Windows 2008 cluster was with a witness share resource and the sQL saves in a iSCSI Equallogic Dell SAN.
