2012 R2 Server - Install SNMP and enable monitoring

SNMP it is useful to monitor server other than switch, routers, printers....

It would be useful enable it on Windows 200X/2012 R2

in any case on 2012 it is deprecated https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831568.aspx:

"SNMP is deprecated. Instead, use the Common Information Model (CIM), which is supported by the WS-Management web services protocol and implemented as Windows Remote Management."

It would be better utilize SNMP 3 due to security concerns.

Here are some screenshots to install it and configure limiting it to be readable remotely from some ips and with password:

SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 - Mobile management

With SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 there are several changes (here other blog article)

About mobile management consider that both Microsoft Intune and Configuration Manager 2012 have the same Mobile Device Management features now. More on the new features in later blogs, today I want to focus on the Mobile Application Management Policies in Configuration Manager 2012 R2 SP1.

In this specific case it would reappear Application Management Policies:



here is an example screenshot, in this node you are able to create the Mobile Application Management Policies for Android and Apple iOS Apps and Managed Browsers. The key point is that you can create a policy for managed browsers and applications and configure the same settings as in Microsoft Intune stand alone.

Veeam 8 - AD Restore step by step - part 1

In these others article I already explained about new Veeam 8 capabilities and AD restore feature:

Backup - Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory

Veeam 8 and relative upgrade from 7 version

You need to search about VBK Extract and go to

C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup

Considering that DC would be unavailable and DNS too you need to copy this files to proxy target:

1. Veeam.Backup.Extractor.exe
2. Extract.exe

you need to launch Veeam.Backup.Extractor.exe and restore Backup to Vmware.

<-----veeam 7="" and="" considerations------="" precedents="" version="">

There is no specific recommendations regarding domain controller backups, just make sure you have application-aware image processing enabled. You may find more information here:http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/70/vsphere/application_aware_processing.html

In case of restore, you may encounter the situation when for the first time DC boots in safe mode. It's an expected behavior, however, which is explained here:http://www.veeam.com/kb1277

Here they are Applicatioin-aware requirements and original article that explain step by step single object recovery from whom I copied some images:

About DC virtualization here they are some best practices


Virtualizing Active Directory Six Best Practices for Domain Controllers

Here is the procedure you should follow while restoring multiple DCs into a fresh environment where no other/existing DCs are available: 

Active Directory and DR Site
<----------->
Veeam uses VSS compliant backups and when restoring a DC it will automatically perform a non-authoritative restore. It's my understanding that, because of this, you don't need to worry about having the domain controls snapshots happen all at the exact same moment.

boot the machine up in dsrm ( bcdedit /set safeboot dsrepair )

log in with ds repair mode password .\Administrator

run the bcdedit command to set and remove dsrepair mode ( bcdedit /deletevalue safeboot )

net stop ntfrs

open regedit and

Open Regedit
Browse to the following extension: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters
Add the following dword (32 bit) value: Repl Perform Initial Synchronizations
And leave this set to 0.

then

open regedit and expand: hklm\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup
Set the burflags to d2 (sometimes you will have to use d4, but only do this in isolated network or it will overwrite other DC's during replication)

reboot
