Upgrading with customized ISO where Administrator account is renamed results in multiple local admin accounts

April 16, 2020, 3:05 pm

Hello!

This is an odd problem I've stumbled into and hoping I might find some help here.

I've customized the latest server 2019 ISO using this method:

1) Apply install.wim to new VM
2) Boot VM to audit mode
3) Apply new packages, patches, etc
4) sysprep /generalize /oobe
5) DISM capture new install.wim from VM
6) Rebuild ISO with new install.wim

The resulting ISO works perfectly for fresh installs as well as normal upgrades. HOWEVER, when upgrading a machine where the built-in 'Administrator' account has been renamed, the upgrade results in the machine having TWO accounts with the same xxxxx-500 SID: the original, renamed account and a second account named 'Administrator'. As you might imagine this is a major issue. It causes some strange failures (ex. opening local users in computer management crashes the whole machine). There's also no easy way to fix it that I know of, as removing a built-in account is not permitted. Maybe an offline tool but haven't tried yet.

following the same process with the server 2016 ISO yields the exact same result. The same process with the server 2012R2 ISO does NOT suffer from this issue.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

oscdImg; Boot sector data could not be processed.

I'm going thru a Windows Manufacturing process to make custom ISO; a prototype deployment that i want to spawn from for development; I'm not trying to make an OOBE/ISO.  I have used this scheme in the past for WS2012r2 and WS2016 deployments without any issues.  For this WS2019 attempt, i get an error.  This is what i did along with the resultant error ...

  1. I created a DataCenter server with Desktop UI as a Hyper-V VM from MSDN download: en_Windows_Server_2019_updated_March_2020_x64_dvd_337baef4.iso
  2. Ran WSUS against this VM for all current updates; up to 2020-04-25
  3. Mounted this VHD and captured as WIM.
  4. Extracted contents of said MSDN/ISO to an on-disc location.
  5. Replaced the ...\Sources\Install.wim with custom/captured wim.
  6. Ran oscdImg v2.56 against this on-disc location as follows ...

oscdimg -m -o -u2 -lBase.WS2019LTSC;2020-04-25 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,bF:\SysPrep.Images\Extracts\WS2019LTSC-x64\boot\etfsboot.com #pEF,e,bF:\SysPrep.Images\Extracts\WS2019LTSC-x64\efi\microsoft\boot\efisys.bin F:\SysPrep.Images\Extracts\WS2019LTSC-x64\"F:\SysPrep.Images\ISO\Base.WS2019LTSC;2020-04-25.iso"

... and it resolves as:
    Error: Boot sector data could not be processed.

Any help to resolve this; create the intended ISO, very much appreciated!

How to deploy self developed software

April 28, 2020, 5:20 am

Hi,

we develop a company internal software. It's still in development phase and needs frequently to be updated.

Currently the Sofware resides und a window server share where every User can access it.

The problem is that update can only be done when every user has closed the app. And even then it is not always clear why the files are locked.

my first idea was to robocopy the files to the users home drives in the net-logon scripts bud the UAC prevents that (access denied).

i think a local computer installation is practical when frequently updated and i do not want our users to install updates.

How can i do that? What ist the best way?

Sysprep generalize fails

I'm trying to build a template Hyper-V vm for a Remote Desktop server farm.  All the required programs are installed, the local admin account profile is configured how I want it.  I have a CopyProfile.xml as described here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825135

The only profiles remaining are the local admin & default; the sysprep process fails in the same way regardless of using the unattend file or not.  This started as a vanilla 2012r2 install, with Office 2013, various accounting programs, and the RDS host role.  The server works properly, and there were no event log errors to note.

I've looked over various other sysprep error reports, and none of them really apply (this is not a licensing/rearm issue).  Anyone have an idea of what the problem is?

Hello, we currently have 2 office locations each with its own domain controller. A VPN connects the 2 sites. I would like to merge the two sites onto one subnet and user accounts from both sites added to one AD domain. Can I install a secondary domain controller at the primary site and then park the server at the secondary site? Is there more to it than that? Thank you

Replace existing domain controller

I have 2 Server 2012, one is domain controller with AD and DNS, and the other one is a file & print server to share folders and printers.

I want to buy a new hardware and install Server 2012 to replace the existing domain controller.

How to export AD users and group policies from existing domain controller and then import them to new server?

Do I need to re-assign the access premission for shared folders (as shared folders are located on another server)?

The existing domain name is jlong.com. If I want to change a new domain name jlong.local, what will be affected in this deployment?

Thanks,

Joe

I have seen numerous discussions on this topic, but in my case I would be Moving from Server 2019 Essentials HPE ROK to Server 2019 Standard 16 Core Open Volume License.

Does the fact that the existing install is a ROK cause issues? I'm obviously hoping not to have to do a clean install.

I was using an evaluation copy and have a license for Windows 2019 Standard. It seems like the only difference is the amount of VMs you can have running. I have tried using my Windows Standard license but it is not working. Is there a way I can activate my copy without needing to reinstall server and all applications under a 2019 Server Standard OS install?

Hello Community friends,

I am trying to upgrade a server from server 2012r2 to 2016 but keep getting the error in the screen shot.I followed the recommended fix in the KB to uninstall the component and rebooted but still get the same error Link to the KB -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc...

This is the command I ran to remove the UNIX component:

Dism.exe /online /disable-feature /featurename:adminui to remove the administration tools for Identity Management for UNIX

Anyone else ever run into this?

Hi,

For the FULL user experience in desired language shall we install the :

Language Packs (.Cab files) only?

Language Experience Pack (.Appx files) only?

Language packs (LPs) + Language Experience Packs (LEP) ?

Note: Even checking this link I am still not sure what to use to give end user a fully localized experience i.e, there should NOT be required to download any support files after installation.

Hello,

I have a WDS server working for all of my Windows 7 and 8.1 machines. 

Server 2012 R2 and WDS and no DHCP on the same machine.

I use IP helper on the VLAN's so there are no options 66 and 67 on the DHCP ranges. 

I am getting the below error for a Capture Image I am trying to add new. Existing images working fine.

Log Name:      Microsoft-Windows-Deployment-Services-Diagnostics/Admin
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Deployment-Services-Diagnostics

Client Port: 9957
Server Port: 64851
Variable Window: true

The Image starts downloading and it fails with the above event ID on the server and below error codes.

I have a TFTP Maximum Block Size of 8192 on the server, the same value works for all of the other images/machines. The Variable Windows Extension is ticked on the WDS as well.

Tried reducing the TFTP Maximum Block Size to 1024 and tested with same issue.

Also tried to load the BCD file and edit the ramdisktftpblocksize to 1024, which didn't help either.

Is anyone else having issues ? 

The device is a Acer Aspire R13 if it makes any difference.

Migrating 2008 R2 to Office 365 with onsite AD and Exchange

June 12, 2020, 2:40 am

Hi there

Our corporate domain is set up as follows

1) Our Active Directory controllers (we have 2) are both Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.  

2) Our Exchange Server is also Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, and Exchange itself is 2007 v 08.03

3) Our users all use Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 3. 

Our company wants to transition to Microsoft Office 365. My team has been tasked with drawing up a project road map. It's not just about buying licences for 365 for our users, we need to upgrade our Domain Controllers and our Exchange first. 

What I am hoping someone here can help with, are the following questions.

1) Do we begin with our Domain Controllers? And if we choose 2012 R2, how long can we expect to have no compatibility issues? Is 2016, or 2019 preferred?

2) Regarding Exchange, my question is the same. What server version, and what Exchange version, do we require in order to have complete compatibility with our migration to 365?

3) Regarding both upgrades above, should we look at software upgrades on the existing servers, or completely new installs on new hardware? 

4) Once our Domain Controllers and Exchange have been upgraded, will our existing 2003 and 2008 Servers (some are SQL servers) still function normally?

5) Are there any hidden dangers that we may be unaware of? 

Many thanks for your assistance everyone.
