Memory And CPU Check Script

Hi,

Today I have created one powershell script which is useful to diagnose high CPU and Memory Consumption on Windows Server..

Configuring Windows Server Core 2012 Part 2

Configuring Basic Settings

1. Connect with server core using Remote desktop Connection.

1. Type "netsh int ipv4 show address to view current ip address of server" to view the adepter name and IP adress.

To configure basic setting in server core we have use some commands,e.g to configure network adapter settings we have to use netsh, and to rename or to join computer in domain we have use netdom, below is step by step procedure which will help to configure you core server.

1. 
2. To change ip address we have fire "netsh int ipv4 set address name=Ethernet source=staic address=172.26.194.26 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=172.26.194.25",you might get disconnect if you had taken RDP session, so connect again to server by new IP.
   
3. To added or change DNS server settings Type"netsh int ipv4 add dnsservers "Eternet(Name of Network Adapder)" 172.26.194.25(IP of DNS Server)
   
4. And now to verify that will type ipconfig/all
   
5. To view ComputerName type "hostname" or "Set".And to change Computer Name Type "netdom renamecomputer %computername% /newname:Win-WSUS /userd:administrator /passwordd:<EnterPassword> /reboot:0"
   

SCONFIG Command

Type sconfig

The first thing I always do, is change the computer name of my server. To do this, enter 2 and hit enter. It will now ask for the new computer name, enter your computer name and hit enter.A popup will appear asking you if you want to reboot, click No, since we also want to change the IP configuration now.

You will go back to the main menu automatically. No to change the IP address of this server, use option 8 and hit enter. A list of available adapters will be displayed (in my case, I only have one virtual NIC in my machine).

Enter the number which is in front of the adapter you want to change and hit enter. The menu will display a sub-menu with the current configuration and options to change your adapter settings.

Now to change the IP address, enter option 1 and hit enter. SConfig will ask you if you want to configure this adapter to use DHCP or a static IP. In this example, I’m using a static IP, so enter s and hit enter. Next, sconfig will ask you for the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. Just enter the information.

Next is to configure the DNS server. Select option 2 and enter the IP of your DNS server. A popup will appear telling you that the DNS server has been set.

Sconfig will ask you for a secondary DNS server. In this example, I’m just using one DNS server, so just hit enter to leave it empty. After this, you will return in the network adapter configuration again.

To return to the main menu, enter option 4 and hit enter. Now we want to reboot this server. This would be option number 13. Sconfig will ask you if you are sure, press Yes.

After the server has been rebooted, log in using your Administrator credentials again and start sconfig. Now to join the domain, enter option 1. Sconfig will ask you if you want to join a domain or a workgroup, enter option D and hit enter. Enter the name of your domain and hit enter. Next, sconfig will ask for an account which is authorized to join this machine to the domain. Enter an account with correct permissions and hit enter. Now sconfig will ask for the password for that account, enter it and hit enter. The next question is if we want to change the computer name before you join this machine to the domain. Since we already changed the computer name at the beginning, click No.

Now the machine is joined to the domain, reboot the machine and you’re done!

Thats all in Part 2

Configuring Windows Server Core 2012 Part 1

Before configuring server core i would like to show you cool function with Windows 2012 is that, we can now switch from GUI interface to Server Core and viceversa after the installation of server 2012.Here is the step by step procedure to switch server from GUI to Core and Core to GUI.

GUI to Core 

1. Connect with server, and Open Server Manager.
2. Go to Manage and Remove Roles and Feature.

Migrating Server Using Windows Migration Tool

Hi Guys,

In this post we will going to migrate windows server 2003 (32bit) to windows server 2012.For this we are using FileSer-01(Source) file server which will to migrated on server WSUS-01(Destination) with the help of Windows Migration Tool.
So lets get started.

Install Windows Server Migration Tools Feature on source machine.

1. Connect with server WSUS-01 and Install Windows Server Migration Tools Feature.
2. Go to Server Manager >> Add roles and features 
   
3. Click Install
   
4. Once it get finished, click close
     

OR      We can use powershell command

{code}Install-WindowsFeature Migration -ComputerName <Hostname>{code}

Here we have done with installation of Windows Migration Tools.

• On WSUS-01 open powershell
• Execute this command {code} .\SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture x86 /os WS03 /path C:\MIG {code} 

Based on the source server you want to prep for you would issue the following command:

 Windows Server 2012

SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS12 /path <deployment folder path>

Windows Server 2008 R2

SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS08R2 /path <deployment folder path>

Windows Server 2008

SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS08 /path <deployment folder path>

Windows Server 2008 32bit

SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture X86 /os WS08 /path <deployment folder path>

Windows Server 2003 64bit

SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS03 /path <deployment folder path>

Windows Server 2003 32bit

SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture X86 /os WS03 /path <deployment folder path>

We are using 32 bit Windows 2003 source server.

• Now Copy MIG folder to source machine i.e Fileser01,you can see all these folders               
• Before executing SmigDeploy.exe we need to check the prerequesites for Windows Server Migration Tools

• Now execute SmigDeploy.exe in Command prompt.
  
• It will open one powershell session, Type Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Migration

• Now go on destination server i.e. WSUS-01 and open Server Manger >> Tools >> Windows Server Migration Tools >> Windows Server Migration Tools
  
   

Here we have Successfully enabled Server Migration Tools, please refer Technet Site for more info.

Deploy and configure Windows Deployment Services

Hi Guys,

In this post, we will deploy and configure Windows Deployment Services. Below is the Step-by-Step procedure to deploy and configure WDS. Two thing which are necessary to make you WDS up and running one is your Active Directory to authentication and DHCP server to provide Dynamic IPs to boot the client via network and get deployed Operating System.
In this demo i am using TEST-DC1 as my domain controller(AD) with DNS, DHCP role installed and WDS-01 as WDS server.

6. Now Select Windows Deployment Services and Add required features, Click Next
   
7. Click Next.
   
8. Note the things and Click Next,
   
9. This Page we can select both or only deployment server. Deployment server is the core service which any deploy images on client and transport server is responsible to transmit data using multicasting.
   
10. And now verify the setting and Click install.
    
11. Once it get complete click Close.
    

Now Connect to TEST-DC1 to configure scope for WDS.

Configure DHCP Scope -

10. Next, Next (To activate the scope) and Finish.
11. We need to configure two more DHCP options that are
    

We have done with DNS scope and We have already Deployed WDS on WDS-01.

Now Connect to Server WDS-01 to configure the WDS Settings.

Configure WDS Role -

1. Open Windows Deployment Service Management Console
2. Expand Servers. Click WDS-01. In the Action menu, click Configure Server. This will launch the Windows Deployment Services Configuration Wizard. Click Next.
