@84104 Wow, what a great idea, then you can just point your public NS records directly to your DC's

MDMarra

We might be on to something, guys

84104

@MDMarra 's/to//'

ewwhite

@MDMarra focus... are you done?

TheCleaner

@84104 Just setup your VM template with Melissa, Nimda, and Sasser. Cut out the middle man.

MDMarra

@ewwhite Done with what

Mathias R. Jessen

8:02 PM

Are we brainstorming for the next official AD DS Best Practices whitepaper guys? I think M$FT would love to hear more about these radical improvements to the way business use Active Directory

ewwhite

@MDMarra Check AD sites and services, see if replication was healthy, check to see if there's anything that would preclude establishing new DCs and demoting this old one... and if you think there is, what would it take for YOU to resolve it $-wise.

MDMarra

WEll, I have no idea what SQL Server is doing on here

ewwhite

(I'm just handing out billable hours, and @MDMarra isn't hungry enough!!)

MDMarra

So someone will have to explain what that's there for

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite Fuck it, I'll do the SQL Server shit

baby needs a new pair of rolexes

ewwhite

8:04 PM

@JoelESalas Golddigger.

MDMarra

@ewwhite but other than that, nothing stopping me from installing a new DC

That said, sites & Services only have one site setup

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite I'd totally go for a sugar momma

MDMarra

so if you want that configured, you'll have to tell me what physical sites exist and what subnets they use

ewwhite

@MDMarra I can build that out. That's fucked up that there's only one Site.

MDMarra

yup

so I have no idea where that 2nd DC actually is

ewwhite

8:05 PM

@MDMarra Down the street, in the cheese factory behind the homeless shelter.

I tried to put that in the SNMP Location field... but it was a bit long.

MDMarra

maybe in v4

Nathan C

Oh derp, I can't upgrade this box...

It's 32-bit 2003 SP2...and 2008 R2 is 64-bit

wheee

ewwhite

@MDMarra is replication working?

MDMarra

yes

TheCleaner

OK @MichaelHampton - while I agree with Longneck's answer here:

Q: Which is the most recent version of Virtualbox guest additions work with WindowsPE (possibly needing a signed driver?)

I'm making a windows (2012) deployment server with a capture boot image. I'm building a win7 client image to sysprep on virtualbox. I syspreped it changed the network to boot first and then I get a memory location type of error telling me "a" device couldn't load. It has to do with a driver be...

I have to wonder if it's really proper to simply redirect users to other software instead of answering the question. i.e. his answer should be a comment instead.

(and I called you out because of your disdain for vbox)

ewwhite

8:12 PM

Devs LOVE Virtualbox

I'm not sure why

cole

Apparently they're having issues with KMS keys

ewwhite

but I have to set it up at a software company soon

cole

for this laptop roll out.

MDMarra

@ewwhite Vagrant

ewwhite

@MDMarra yeah, that...

@MDMarra DC replication

MDMarra

8:13 PM

dude

do you read?

3 mins ago, by MDMarra

yes

TheCleaner

@ewwhite because most have been using it for years since it is a decent enough free alternative to VM Workstation. They probably feel like Hyper-V is overkill for their need.

84104

@cole Does dhcp server the appropriate suffix to the laptops?

ewwhite

I want to be able to tell client, "Here's what's wrong. Here are the reasons why you need to let me take care of this now... Now give me a blank check."

...and then let @MDMarra and @JoelESalas fight over the money...

Joel E Salas

Grrrr

MDMarra

What's wrong is that they have a critical piece of infrastructure running on a Pentium III on an operating system that's this close to end of support. What more do you need?

cole

8:15 PM

@84104 that I don't know - using infoblox for DHCP

Symantec Ghost to image them

ewwhite

@MDMarra I have to be nice to them. They accused me of being an asshole once... So I take a gentle approach now.

MDMarra

Telling that that isn't not being nice

It's telling them that their shit is whack and it should be unwhacked

ewwhite

@JoelESalas A site in San Diego needs your help. Cisco Firewall and Aironet access point blew up during a utility power outage.

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite Oh wow

Where in San Diego?

cole

Just logged into the KMS server......there's no product keys listed.

84104

8:17 PM

@cole Sometimes it is the simple things.

cole

@84104 so I'm like.......what.

I can use the KMS server for windows 8 though by doing slmgr.vbs -ipk <product key>

MDMarra

-ipk installs a local copy of the key

it doesn't use KMS

cole

@MDMarra Interesting.

Then wtf are they doing!?

MDMarra

slmgr -ipk aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeee is the same thing as typing that key into the activation wizard

cole

Why in the fucking world would they do that?

When you can just add the key to the server and do slmgr.vbs /ato?

MDMarra

8:20 PM

What do you mean?

cole

I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, honestly.

MDMarra

With KMS you don't have to do anything

cole

@MDMarra just add the key to the KMS server, correct?

ewwhite

@JoelESalas Not exactly sure... but I've driven from LA to go there once or twice.

84104

@MDMarra Must have network connect and properly configured DNS.

MDMarra

8:20 PM

You install the KMS key on the KMS server, activate it, and register an SRV record in DNS. Then, clients on your network will look for that SRV record and activate themselves against your KMS

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite When do they need someone out there

cole

@MDMarra well shit - why do I work with idiots?

TheCleaner

@cole nobody knows how MS licensing is supposed to work...except for 3 lawyers and a hyena on meth.

4

MDMarra

If you're locally using slmgr -ipk on a Windows 8 box, you're not using KMS for it

cole

@MDMarra Interesting.

So pretty much everyone's retarded

voretaq7

8:21 PM

@TheCleaner The hyena on meth actually wrote the licensing agreement. The lawyers just had to be in the room for it to be all legal-like.

Joel E Salas

@cole This is at the new job?

TheCleaner

lol, exactly

ewwhite

@JoelESalas I'm digging. I was debating whether to just send some preconfigured gear there.

voretaq7

Nobody knows how Oracle licensing is supposed to work...except for an accountant at Oracle who makes up the terms as needed.

cole

@JoelESalas new old job

Joel E Salas

8:22 PM

@ewwhite I'm feeling rather shitty, let me know if/when

ewwhite

@JoelESalas why shitty?

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite I have the flu

Nathan C

@voretaq7 Not enough money you say? MORE $$$$$$$$$$$$!

ewwhite

Oh eww... I don't want you to be the cause of the next produce recall

TheCleaner

@voretaq7 Oracle licensing is like getting into a ritzy nightclub. You know the right people or you're hot? OK, here's some licensing for 90% off. You are nobody and you want in with your 5 nerdy buddies? Sure...but you'll have to pay for drinks for everyone.

MDMarra

8:23 PM

"Everyone, bring your beets back to the grocery store. They've been sneezed on by a Mexican"

Mathias R. Jessen

@NathanC I thought those were the only terms

ewwhite

@MDMarra every time that happens, I'm responsible for tens of thousands of faxes that need to go out to customers announcing the recall. It ain't no game.

Nathan C

NO HUMBLE BUNDLE, YOU CAN NOT HAS CASH

>:[

MDMarra

More like humbug bundle, amirite?

Mathias R. Jessen

@cole nslookup -type=srv _vlmcs._tcp.nt4.cole.local

That's how the clients know who to contact

cole

8:28 PM

@MathiasR.Jessen it's pointing all the DCs

I'm assuming I need that record to point to the actual KMS server?

Mathias R. Jessen

exactly

MDMarra

all of your DCs are KMS servers?

cole

@MDMarra I have no idea dude

MDMarra

lol

cole

KMS isn't even installed on them

Like

wat

MDMarra

8:29 PM

KMS isn't a separate role though

It's just something that kinda starts working when you install a KMS key on a server and activate it

Nathan C

Oops...I accidentally the entire WSUS server

r-r-r-rollback

MDMarra

So someone could have used the KMS key to activate all of your DCs instead of using a MAK

which would be hilarious

cole

So if I'm understanding this correctly. You add the Windows 7 Professional key to the KMS server > when the client joins the domain it reaches out to see if it can get a key from KMS via the _VLCMS SRV record > that record basically says "Hey I got ya key bitch, here" > and them it activates the client?

MDMarra

kinda but you don't use a Win 7 key

You use a Windows Server key and it can activate clients

cole

Ahhhh

MDMarra

8:31 PM

KMS makes your activations entirely honor system

cole

Because I have a "licensed" key

84104

@cole Yes, but it does't have to join the domain. Proper dns suffix is sufficient.

cole

Then what's this product keys thing for?

MDMarra

what product key thing?

cole

Nathan C

8:32 PM

So...I think I'm stuck with spinning up a brand new WSUS server since I can't go 32->64

MDMarra

@cole That's how you can track how MAKs are used on your network and activate shit that isn't activated

It's not for KMS

cole

ohhh

MDMarra

KMS is managed entirely from the commandline

cole

So pretty much the issue is the SRV record's messed up/doesnt exist for the actual KMS server?

Mathias R. Jessen

@cole Yes

MDMarra

8:33 PM

They could be, unless your DCs were installed with KMS keys

cole

/sobs

MDMarra

In which case, the SRV records are fine, but your coworkers are fucking idiots

cole

And I just need to add one for the actual KMS server?

MDMarra

Check the DCs first

cole

@MDMarra how will I know?

Mathias R. Jessen

8:34 PM

@cole just add the kms host key on the server you want to designate KMS host and change _vlmcs._tcp to point to that server

MDMarra

If they have KMS keys, they'll continue modifying that SRV record after you change it

@MathiasR.Jessen KMS servers will try and dynamically update that record though

cole

Ugh Infoblox makes this a PITA

MDMarra

A DC will be able to flip it back

Oh shit wait

He's also using Infoblox

Mathias R. Jessen

@cole You use Infoblox for DNS? o_O

MDMarra

dude your whole shit is weird

cole

8:35 PM

@MathiasR.Jessen yeah.

I KNOW!

I told my boss i want to do integrated DNS for internal shit - they can use Infoblox for whatever the fuck else they want

Mathias R. Jessen

An MS PFE once told me about AD zones with infoblox - it's a while a go, but it was a kind of horror story

MDMarra

@MathiasR.Jessen I have customers that do it

I tell them not to

but it works

cole

I have to manual create all the AD zone records

MDMarra

wat

cole

It's a fucking mess

MDMarra

8:37 PM

You don't have your DCs delegated the ability to dynamically register records on your Infoblox?

cole

@MDMarra I don't control dat yo

But I'm going to push for it

MDMarra

that's insane. How do you know you're getting everything, like in the _msdcs zone, for example

cole

because fuck that shit

Mathias R. Jessen

Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is the distributed directory service and the information hub of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2000 Server operating systems.

cole

@MDMarra trust me, it's rough

Mathias R. Jessen

8:37 PM

lol

They live in a distant past

cole

Ok so how does the KMS server know you have valid licenses for say Windows 7?

MDMarra

it doesnt

honor system

Mathias R. Jessen

@cole There's a reason Microsoft conducts licensing audits

cole

Ok so another question - these are field laptops. Safe to assume that these would be better off being MAK keys?

MDMarra

If they're disconnected with no VPN for extended periods, yes, Better off MAK

cole

8:39 PM

ok cool

Now I have to try to explain this in the most non-technical way possible to the desktop support manager

MDMarra

I beleive the post-activation timer before needing to check back in in 6 months

Mathias R. Jessen

Correct

cole

6 months? that may work

Mathias R. Jessen

license expiration is automatically set to now() + 180 days every time the client re-activates

it tries to do so once every 7 days

Win7 and up at least

MDMarra

Vista's the same

I think I'm the only one that rolled out Vista and KMS

Mathias R. Jessen

8:41 PM

Naah, a colleague of mine did so too... for his client TS exam towards 70-647 :P

MDMarra

I did it for 500 computers in a university

cole

So ok

MDMarra

:-|

cole

do you enter the KMS key one the base image?

MDMarra

no

nonononono

cole

8:42 PM

ok lol

MDMarra

the KMS key only ever gets installed on the KMS server(s)

You don't enter a key in the clients

cole

Ok, I guess i'm just confused because there's a KMS key for Windows 7 in the licensing portal.

MDMarra

There's a key baked into the default windows image that tells the client "you're in OOB Grace until you can hit a KMS server or someone puts a new key in"

@cole You can have a Win 7 computer be a KMS "server"

cole

@MDMarra OHHHHH ok

MDMarra

No one does it

Mathias R. Jessen

8:44 PM

@cole The public ones are KMS Client Keys - those, you should include in the base image

MDMarra

If you want to use KMS, it's important that you don't change the key that's in the default Windows install

cole

@MathiasR.Jessen public ones?

MDMarra

@MathiasR.Jessen client keys are installed by default

No need to enter them

cole

@MDMarra they're using Ghost to image

MDMarra

doesn't matter

cole

8:45 PM

@MDMarra they just need to use the KMS ISO to create the image, correct?

MDMarra

There's no special iso

cole

Cause that's where I'm confused

because it sounds tasty

MDMarra

@cole I go download a copy of Windows 7 Enterprise. Install it. Don't enter a key during install. That copy can be activated by KMS. Microsoft pre-populates default Windows installs with the key the client needs to use KMS

Mathias R. Jessen

@ewwhite How... what... you broke the onebox?

cole

8:46 PM

Ahhhh

MDMarra

If you enter a MAK or something, then you can't activate with KMS

cole

@MDMarra thank you

MDMarra

But if you just don't fuck with the key that MS ships pre-installed with the standard image, you'll work with KMS just fine

If you do fuck with it, Microsoft makes the client key public. It's on technet somewhere

That'll let you convert a MAK-activated copy of Windows to a KMS activated copy

tombull89

I was gonna look at something this evening. I forgot what it was. So I played BF4 for two hours. Now I remembered what I was.

cole

I don't have access to the Microsoft licensing portal

MDMarra

8:47 PM

it's not on the portal

The client key is public knowlege. All windows installs share it

84104

@MDMarra ~ 180 days

tombull89

Ooh fuck me, Licensing? nope nope nope.

MDMarra

@cole but, basically, unless you're doing it wrong, you don't need to enter any key on the clients for KMS to work

cole

@MDMarra technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx

MDMarra

Ya thats them

Mathias R. Jessen

8:49 PM

"Computers that are running volume licensing editions of Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 are, by default, KMS clients with no additional configuration needed."

MDMarra

Thats what ships in a standard windows image that gives you the grace period

cole

@MDMarra ok cool. I just learned how KMS works in a few minutes. ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

Thanks @MDMarra and @MathiasR.Jessen

Mathias R. Jessen

@cole You just need to ask the right questions among the right people :D

MDMarra

The other thing that will trip you up is that servers won't activate until 5 try and check in with KMS and clients wont activate until 20 (25?) try and activate with the KMS server

Mathias R. Jessen

25

MDMarra

8:50 PM

So if shit doesn't activate immediately when you do get it set up right, don't sweat it, just let shit start checking in before you worry

There are all slmgr switches to see how many have checked in and all that

cole

So there's no way to force activate?

MDMarra

you can run slmgr -ato from a client

that'll force it to check in

cole

Ah ok cool

MDMarra

but the server won't actually activate it until 24 more check in for activation first

84104

@voretaq7 I'm revising my opinion. What AT&T is doing is shady with a great amount of incumbent advantage.

MDMarra

8:52 PM

At $university I just fired up psexec and ran slmgr-ato on a lab and called it a day

But you get 30 days or whatever it is, so theres no rush

cole

@MDMarra my worry is - these are going out to the field

immediately

MDMarra

Well, don't have those be the first 25 you try and use KMS on :)

cole

@MDMarra they're the only ones

MDMarra

wat

cole

@MDMarra yeah, I dont know dude

MDMarra

8:53 PM

Why aren't you using KMS for internal stuff?

cole

I mean 1500 laptops are going out

IDK!

So if I force check the first 25 - it should work?

MDMarra

lol

yes

cole

ok cool

84104

@MDMarra Because they never set it up properly, so it didn't work? That's usually how it happens.

MDMarra

Should I schedule 70-414 tomorrow and see if I can finish off this MCSE in the same week that I started it?

cole

8:56 PM

DO IT BITCH

MDMarra

I'm bummed that I never got a 2003 MCSE or earlier

Mathias R. Jessen

@cole It will work (the KMS Host will start validating clients) but the remaining 1475 still need to get back on the network and "check in" before the 30 days grace period expires

@MDMarra I scheduled 70-297 for July 30th and slept in so I missed it :(

MDMarra

waaaat

what's 297?

Mathias R. Jessen
