Storage Migration Service - Failing to Validate data
So, im getting ready to Migrate 10TB of data. Both servers are running Server 2019 Both have the Admin center installed, and "Storage Migration Service" is installed on both. I have it to a stage where i want to "validate Source and Destination Devices" when i go to validate it, it gives these 2 errors. **************************** The destination proxy is registered.

Hi, I try to install a cert, a website uses to auth the visit. That means I have to install it local and manually by logging into the user acc and install it under "CurrentUser\My". If I install it for the whole machine "LocalMachine\My" it will be ignored when I try to access the website (seems Chrome don't check these certs). Manually that works. But I want to make life easier using windows admin center. The problem is that I log into the machine with an admin account. When I navigate to cert, there is no option to import a cert for a special (different) user account. Is there a way to install it (maybe via powershell) for a special user without knowing his password? I mean - I'm the admin of that machine, I should be able to do that. Thanks for any help!Credit12Dec 03, 2024Copper Contributor78Views0likes5CommentsHelp to configure IIS with SSL
Hello... I am starting in Windows Server administration, in a new company, they have asked me to configure SSL certificates for two intranet sites they have in Internet Information Services, I suggested buying some certificates and create names for each site as they currently connect like this http://Ip server:port, each site has its own port of course, they tell me no I should use the functionality of Windows server, as this is only for employee connections and do not need to make an expense, what they do not want is to display the warning of unsecured site to employees. I have followed tutorials, Microsoft documentation, creating a certificate authority, self-signed certificates, etc. I need help, please someone who has implemented this and has a tutorial, link, whatever I can use, to do this I am being asked to do.Jorge075Dec 02, 2024Copper Contributor102Views0likes4CommentsAdmin account Lockout
Hi All - I have been asked to implement password chages ppoicy at a site we support. During this process I also setup account lockout policy after 5 invalid attempts The option Allow Administrator Account lockout was enabled and now when trying to login I have the message - The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged onto. We have only used the correct password to logon - but this still has happened and waiting 30mins does not sort this issue. Also, I have no other Administrator account for this Domain Server. Does anyone have any suggestions on dealing with this ? The Policy has the following settings - Account Lockout Duration 30mins Account Lockout Threshold 5 Invalid logon attemps Allow Administrator Lockout Enabled Reset Account loclout Counter after 30minsStuartSmithzDec 01, 2024Copper Contributor74Views0likes5CommentsYour credentials didn't work - try again
I have this weird issue with WAC atm I have a server which has RBAC enabled, my non-admin domain user; called for example Pete is added to the admin group (so he cant use powershell etc...) When I try to access the server as Pete using WAC, it says my credentials didn't work. Here comes the weird thing: I can access the server as for example my domain admin. If I first do that, go back to the main screen and click menage as and then fill in Pete's credentials it works, with the limited access to the server as the role described. Is there a solution for this?Pie-AirNov 27, 2024Copper Contributor16Views0likes0CommentsWAC Future
I'm curious what the future of Windows Admin Center is? Looking at some of the extensions like Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP you don't get a lot of feature parity with their MMC counterparts. With Linux available in just about every environment, will there every be in the future a way to manage them inside of the admin center? Will be the best way to manage this is through Azure instead of the On-Premises Windows Admin Center. Thanks.gzygadloNov 21, 2024Brass Contributor304Views2likes1CommentThe client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm
Have had a problem on my Windows Web Server 2008 R2 for a long while now. Three(3) of the HalcyonGrid consoles keep crashing with this same error.

A month ago, domain WU-clients stopped sending reports to the WSUS server. However, the search/receipt of updates by clients is performed normally (both manually and scheduled). So,if an update is approved on WSUS, it is installed on the workstation. Re-registering the WU-client (cleaning "SoftwareDistribution" folder and "WindowsUpdate" registry branch) didn't help.The problem is only with workstations (MS Windows 10), servers continue to send reports regularly.SergTheGreatNov 14, 2024Copper Contributor108Views0likes2CommentsRemote desktop licensing mode is not configured
We have a Windows 2019 Server. It is workgroup server & not part of domain. Its been running fine since 3 to 4 years. We are seeing below message when trying to RDP to server since last 3 months. 2 concurrent RDP connections are enough & we dont need more than 2. Hence, dont need any CAL or user licenses. Please note that I have tried stopping Remote Desktop services in order to troubleshoot the issue. But, my RDP connection immediately got disconnected & I was unable to RDP. To fix this RDP issue, opened services.msc in my laptop & with 'connect to another computer' option, I connected to server's services.msc & started Remote Desktop services again. I was then able to RDP. So, realized RDS need to be running in order to RDP. Please guide on how to fix this issue so that we will be able to RDP even after grace period.sowjanyaravikrishna3Nov 13, 2024Copper Contributor290Views0likes5CommentsRDS shadow over site-to-site VPN problem - not working
I have a problem with RDS shadow on Windows Server 2022 Standard. If the client connects to the server via RDP from the local network where the server is, RDS shadow works without a problem. If the client is outside this local network on a site-to-site VPN connection, RDS shadow does not work properly, the screen is black and only the moving mouse cursor is visible. If the client connects to the server via the VPN client (receives an address from the server's network), RDS shadow also works properly. I have already tried various settings. I suspected blocking some ports, but disabling Windows defender did not change anything. How to solve this problem?Roman758Nov 13, 2024Copper Contributor13Views0likes0Comments
