RE: Time sync
If it's minutes, something's wrong. My experience is much the same as Steve's. Other than some very specialized applications, w32time is sufficient. We do have a very intricate Time Synchronization Network with multiple atomic clocks and other sources but it's not needed on the majority of windows clients. We used to run the ntp.org software on the NT DCs in lieu of timeserv but w32time has been sufficient since we moved to AD. My DCs in the domain I just checked are all within 15 ms of Stratum 1, actually only one is over 10ms. My laptop is on VPN over LTE and hasn't been in the office in months and it is only +70ms from Stratum 2. Biggest problem I've had over the years is with meddlers who *think* they know better and fool around with it. Usually setting things back to default and w32tm /resync fixes it. -Original Message- From: Steve Kradel [mailto:skra...@zetetic.net] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2013 8:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Time sync How much time skew are we talking about here?

So I seem to be stumped. We have some old Citrix Presentation Manager servers running on Win 2003 that my boss would like to retire, and replace with Remote Desktop Services under Server 2012. The catch is that these servers would VMs, running under VMware ESXi 5.0 (that's what the current Citirix servers are). If you install all the latest ESXi 5.0 patches, then you can run Server 2012 VMs. That part is running fine. But I can't seem to install RDS. (the last time I used even Terminal Services was on Win 2003, over 5 years back). Following this blog post http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj554307.aspx I am trying to install RDS. But it keeps failing on RD Virtualization Host step - all it says is that it failed. The other 2 steps (Connection Broker and Web Services) installed fine. I don't see anything in the Event log that is telling me WHY it failed. I am seeing Event 9645 from source MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID. Message is An error occurred in the service broker manager, Error 3602, State: 145. And I can't seem to track down what this means. The online Event log help is no help (it never seems to be, for me). I haven't found it in eventid.net, and Google isn't showing me anything close to my situation. So let's start at the beginning: 1. Is this even possible - can you run RDS on Server 2012 as a VM under ESXi 5.0? Or is that trying to run one virtualization technology (Hyper-V) under a different virtualization technology (ESXi)? (eventually we want to publish an application or two, not a lot, and no need of a full desktop, as I understand it). I know MS says you shouldn't (or can't) run Hyper-V inside of Hyper-V, but it doesn't seem to say anything about Hyper-V inside any other virtualization - ESXi, XenApp, etc. 2. If it is possible, what am I missing? The article didn't mention any pre-requisites I don't have. I have Server 2012 as a domain member in my Win 2008 R2 AD domain.

Re: Time sync
Ken, On HV guests the time snch feature really doesn't work. I contacted Meinberg and they told me that their product is not made to run on a Guest OS. VMware or HV. Our experience with NTP on HV guests is that there is way too much fluctuation and the time never stays within the limits. When you look at the server's clock the time is always what it should be. So it is getting off by 500ms or whatever the limit is. On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 9:29 AM, Ken Cornetet ken.corne...@kimball.comwrote: We run the Meinberg NTP port as well.

Re: Trying to install RDS on Server 2012, as a VM under VMware ESX 5.0 ..
So in further narrowing this down with my boss, here's what we want: (that I know of, so far) - want to access the app from a web browser - client OSes will be many XP w/SP3, some Win 7 - do not want clients to see a full desktop, only the one crappy app they need to access - and, just to make it more interesting, the app is a traditional, fat, full client-server app, that uses too much bandwidth to run remotely, hence the need to run this way - the app has it's own security, own IDs and passwords, separate from our domain logins So it looks like I want Remote Desktop Web Access, so the clients can connect using a web browser. Not sure if that means I also then need to set up RemoteApp on the server, so that when they do connect, they will see only the one app I have published, and can only execute that. Sounds like it, from the skimming I've done so far. Right now, what we happens is: you (the client) start a browser session. We have a load balancer, which routes you to a Ctirix XenApp server, where you authenticate with a domain ID, and then it shows you the one and only app you can run. Choosing it then prompts you for the application security (ID and password). Then you see the rest - entry screens, etc. I should be able to replace all the Citrix parts with Server 2012 and RDS, and the users should just be able to toodle right along. (well, the web interface to choose the app will change, but other than that, it should be all the same to the end users). ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

Re: Occasional local admin needed
The restricted group GPO won't take effect on the regular refresh schedule, because the GPO itself will not have changed... IIRC it will take closer to one day to notice that the once-compliant local group is out of whack. I think I'd just use a domain group nested into the machine's builtin\administrators, and make sure to set a reminder to clear that group after a little while. Of course that's still assuming the users won't give themselves extra access in the meantime. --Steve On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 11:42 AM, Crawford, Scott crawfo...@evangel.edu wrote: Better suggestions have already been given, but I’ll throw this out as a possibility.

RE: Time sync
I presume that you have at least 2 redondant, stable, time sources for your telecom eqpt and that you use them to redistribute time to your PDC and others non windows material. I also assume you have specific Stratum level define for your time sources and that you are not deasy chaining your router NTP too many level... One solution would be to install a real NTP client on all the windows stations and servers part of your insurance setup (no need for the non critical stuff). With this, you could make sure the sync is every 2 hours for example. As long as the DC don't drift too much, there would be no problem with auth. If they are drifting, well, here is your problem... PS: With your VM, where do you take the time? From ESX or from the PDC/DC servers? Here, we have 2 GPS base NTP source (Stratum 1) feeding the Cisco 6509 or Main router of each site (Stratum 2). In turn, they redistribute time in their site using the same anycast address. That way, an eqpt can allways reach one good time source. I also run the Meinberg NTP Time source Monitor to check my PC station agains all the NTP source (stratum 1 and 2) I have defined in those sites.

Also it wouldn't hurt to make sure the host has a solid time configuration, as *fully* disabling host-guest sync, at least under VMWare, takes a little more poking than one might think. Definitely would sort this out before considering 3rd party NTP solutions... anything more than a couple seconds of skew isn't w32tm's fault. --Steve On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 12:11 PM, Richard McClary richard.mccl...@aspca.org wrote: Thanks to all so far!

While MSFT will only support w32tm accuracy within 1-2 seconds, in practice I have found it to be stable within a tenth of a second or less, and would not feel compelled to look into very-high-accuracy NTP clients for regular non-scientific applications. Do you have separate systems recording the timestamps of an incoming call and the creation of a linked medical record, or are things unreliable even on a single host? --Steve On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 9:10 AM, Richard McClary richard.mccl...@aspca.org wrote: Greetings!

RE: LAptops
Last time I worked with the Vostro line they claimed they were for Corp type of work but lack of a docking station for them made them more for road warriors. That said I would reconsider the Latitude line and look at getting something that you could run with XP mode. I have not worked enough with Windows 8 yet to say anything about working with a VM on that platform. I have run several packages that claimed to only run in XP and would not install in 7 but ran just fine from XP mode.

RE: Enterprise task scheduler
I'd hazard a guess that task scheduling includes the ability to run 'repeatable jobs' at a set time. Repeatable jobs on the other hand could be as simple as a VBScript file - but VBS files don't run themselves at a set time per day (and all the reporting, delegation etc. that comes with that type of app) Cheers Ken From: Steven Peck [mailto:sep...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, 5 January 2013 8:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Enterprise task scheduler That was where I was confused as well.

I was hoping to get The Lists opinion on a good, un-bloated enterprise task scheduler. Right now we have about a thousand tasks scattered across different servers using the windows scheduled task service and it's just not doing it for us. It'd be nice if jobs could be pushed down to workers as they were available vs. being scheduled on specific instances, but we at least want a central control of these jobs.

RE: Time sync
Can ESX support 64 vCPUs or 4TB RAM per guest yet? Or 64 hosts per cluster? Seems like there are all sorts of corner cases where one product has functionality the other doesn't yet. For 99% of things they are feature compatible. It's all about the management and operations tools now. Hypervisors are almost commoditised, and will be within the next version or two.
