I installed Active Directory on Windows 2012 R2, But now I can't log in VIA RDP - permissions

After installing the Directory Services Role and configuring and promoting the server to a domain controller the wizard automatically reboots my server.
After the reboot, I can no longer log in to the server as before (via RDP). What happened? This is a virtual server, so destroying it and starting over is an option, but after trying that 3 times how do I avoid this problem in the first place?
And another question is - can I install Active Directory without rebooting automatically?

can you ping ? what is the ping out put looks firewall is blocking or allow connections only from computers running remote desktop with NLA is enabled.
Why don't you install team viewer and setup unattended access and see what happening.

Failed to connect to installer service

i have a problem with veeam backup and replication 9.
the problem is when i try to restore one of my virtual machines in a new location that it is on my back up server i get an error that
[Backup Server Name] Failed to connect to installer service.
can some one please help me on this case
my windows server is 2012 and my virtual machine is a hyper-v virtual machine.
The step i did to solve this problem is as below:
1. I go to services.msc and restarted Veeam Installer Service.
2. In Veeam software at section backup infrastructure i rescanned all servers and i also set my credentials again.
at last i restarted server and the problem was solved.
i did not have an ip that has been set to my server, after i set it up, i restarted veeam installer service and it worked. another point was that it had not created c:\backup automatically so i created it manually.

Configure Remote Access on Windows 2012 Server without IIS

I am running through the procedure to create a Windows 2012 Server, and I need Remote Access enabled. However, when I run through the installation process, it tells me I need to install IIS. Well I don't want IIS because I will have an Apache server running, but I have no choice. In Windows Server 2008 there was no need to install IIS when configuring Remote Access ( which used to be a part of Network Policy and Access Services ).
What can I do if I need Remote Access, need Apache, and don't want IIS?
To solve this I simply deleted the default website created with IIS, restarted Apache and it works fine.

windows 2008 server R2 - remote desktop crashed after recent update

I have updated the server recently (only those recommended security update from the windows server), after installation i had to restart the windows server, however after restarting the server, all the port are closed and I have no access with RDP (no access to sql server database, no access to tfs ...) .  currently i can access to the server only over the ssl and i have access only to the cmd consul on the server. can any body help?(the server is in the ISP and it is a dedicated server).
Cause:
installation first kb2667402 then the Sp 1 update
effect:
No RDP available
Windows blocks users right and give no right to start the services
e.x
The TFS Service uses TFSSERVICE USER, but win2008r2 block this user and say this user is not exist!
what we have done:
uninstall the kb2667402
after Uninstalling the kb2667402, i have exported the installed update and proved that the updated has been successfully removed.
delete and copy the old version of the rdpcorekmts.dll in system32
reconfiguration of the RDP and add a new port and rule for firewall
reset the firewall and add the new rule (we made a back up)
add the Teamviewer portable version with a fix password, but we cannot access to the TV, "Authentication rejected"
Installed RAdmin--> no access: the user name or password is wrong!
try to connect with Computer management from my pc to the server and get the error: RPC Sever is Unavailable
I have stop the firewall and had access from my pc Event Viewer to remote server and could follow the errors on the server.

Disk2vhd Hyper-V server question

Hello all I have a backed up about 30 servers using disk2vhd and now I have built my first of many hyper-v severs I did not realize this is all command line I did download CoreConfigurator and that does have some functionality I have been looking for. My question is how do I get the VHD files to run a Vitual Machines? its all command line I tried via vbs to mount the VHD's and I have not been able to any help on this would be great!
Thanks!
If you are using servercore, You maybe can do everything from the command line but I always prefer to have one computer running a Non server core version of windows 2008 to be the management server. You will load up Hyper-V manager on the non server core box and manage your Hyper-V server.
To have no "management" servers or desktops on your network will be a big pain IMO for management.
Using Hyper-V Manager you can quickly load the VHD's as VM's.
So load up Hyper-V Manager on a desktop PC on your localnet, and use its connect option to connect to your servercore. (Make sure your firewall settings are ok on servercore using coreconfig)

Copy files to a remote server via RDP using a script

We have a couple production servers that are configured to only allow access via RDP. There are no acessible shares. The dev team have no say in changing this setup but we want to automate code deployments to these machines. Presently we have to set Remote Desktop to share a local drive with the server, then RDP to the server and manually copy the deployment.
Any one know of a way to tunnel over RDP and drop files to a given directory on the remote host from the command line? The instructions will need to be included in an MSBuild configuration.
If you can get WS-MAN set up, PowerShell remoting and/or pmodem might be your ticket? https://web.archive.org/web/20180429054125/http://www.nivot.org/blog/2009/11/default
