Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate

Hi,

Since a while, i am getting this error:

An error occurred during a connection to xxxx.remotewebaccess.com. Peer's Certificate has been revoked. (Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate)

In Chrome it will be:

Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from brunew.remotewebaccess.com (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards).

You cannot visit xxxx.remotewebaccess.com at the moment because this certificate has been revoked. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later. NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED

 

This started the day I mistakenly used a xxxx.remotewebaccess.com i just removed the minute before.

 

Any help would be much appreciated

WSE 2012 - Cannot connect client, certificate error

January 1, 2015, 9:58 pm

Hello,

Some weeks ago, I got a new Windows Server 2012 Essentials computer set up as a home backup server. I connected four client computers, which all worked just fine. Then, a few weeks ago, a client computer stopped being able to connect, and I'm trying to fix it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the connector, which gives the error that "Cannot connect this computer to the network: The server is not available. Try connecting the computer again, and for more information, see Troubleshoot connecting computers to the server."

The weird thing is, on my other client computers, it asks for an admin account on the server. The one that doesn't work allows me to use the credentials of a user (and recommends against using an admin account).

I have the ClientDeploy.log from the latest installation attempt; below are some of the most important-looking parts (I can put the entire thing into Pastebin if needed). I've also run Robert Pearman's "Windows Server Essentials - Configuration Tester", which gives a few errors. Part of the output is below as well. His blog post (http://titlerequired.com/2014/02/14/windows-server-essentialsconfiguration-troubleshooter/) says that the CA name is important, but I can't figure out what it should be. (I think right now it is named COMPUTERNAME-CA, with COMPUTERNAME being the name of the server.) Does anyone know?

I've tried everything I could find on the internet, including a bunch of IIS commands and things like that. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the entire Essentials role. Nothing helps. I did notice that I have four different SSL certificates. Also, accessing"https://192.168.xxx.xxx//connect/default..." through a browser generates a certificate name error, but using "https://COMPUTERNAME//connect/default..." instead works just fine.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can we alter the language preferences on Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials in a live environment?

We have a new customer (based in the UK) whose existing Windows 2012 R2 Essentials server has been installed using ‘English (United States)’ language preferences instead of ‘English (United Kingdom). As a result the date format etc. is not how the customer would like it displayed.

Are we able to alter this to ‘English (United Kingdom)’ and if so, what impact will this have on the server, installed applications, users\workstations etc.?

If it is possible without causing any issues, what is the correct process? Is there a step-by-step guide?

short of a reformat, but it still fails for me at 87%. I have no ServerFolders folder to delete or rename, although I did at one point have an additional disk attached that had an old installation. possibly with ServerFolders, but I don't recall trying to install the Essentials role with that drive attached.

I can provide the CBS log if preferred. I have been unable to find anything of use myself there.

Just a basic question here for BPA re: DNS settings on server and workstations.

During server installation DNS server role was auto installed, I presume as a subset of ADUC.  We have a small law firm with a single server and 17 users.  I have made no forward or reverse lookup entries in DNS.  The pri and sec  DNS settings on the servers lan adapter are set to Time Warner provided dns addresses.   The workstations are set to the local server IP address for primary DNS.  Is this an acceptable scenario?

Help! Office 365 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (Essentials) no longer communicating

Hi - I have had this problem beginning November.  From what I can tell, it started after I applied a Windows Update patch of the latest Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant.  Now when I go in to the Windows Essential Dashboard, where I have my domain linked with Office 365 for business, the "Microsoft Online Account" area shows as "unknown".  I have tried removing and re-adding the assistant but to no avail.  I have read some clue that the version should be 7.250.4259.0 but I am unable to find the download locally or online.

Additionally, the area of Office 365 does not show my Org, Domain, Subscription or exchange online information.  However, when I click "Link a Domain" it is recognizing that I have already done so.  Again, everything worked great until this blasted update.

We are a school and I need to be very careful not to break/disconnect the Drive Shares of the "Cloud" component as that's how students access their files.

I did see this link from NEO YU but am a bit nervous as my knowledge of AZURE is near null. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj151815.aspx#bkmk_installmodule

Please help get me reconnected and thanks to all for ALL you do!

VPN Server Error 812

I'm trying to run a VPN on an AWS instance. I got it running before with help but I accidentally blew it up. I'm trying to set up a new one and keep running into error 812 no matter how I try to fix it. I have ensured that protocol GRE is included and port 1723 is forwarded. Both client and server are set to MS-CHAP v2 for authentication and PPTP for tunnel type. In the Network Policy Server, I have checked that MS-CHAP v2 is checked off for allowed connections. Yes, I set it up with the wizard. I also set up a static address pool. Don't know what else could be wrong. 

I noticed that if I try to log into the VPN with the wrong password it notices and asks me to re-enter the correct pass. The correct password still gives me 812.

Client computer backup portability and storage sizing

January 13, 2015, 12:07 pm

Hi, everybody.

I'd like to know if it's there's a procedure to access files within a "client computer backup" in the format that Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials uses, other than the integrated GUI. I mean if I copy the "Client Computer Backups" folder to another machine, how could I access individual files?

Also, I've noticed that an initial client computer backup is taken when installing the connector software in the client computer.  Is there a switch to skip that backup?

For sizing required backup storage, I've noticed that the initial backup generates a series of .dat files one of them larger in size (say about 4 GB), and for the following backup jobs for that computer, only a small .dat file is produced (incremental backup, I presume).  What criteria does the server use to determine when to perform an incremental backup or a new full backup? I would think it evaluates the % of data blocks modified. Hope you can provide further insight.

Thanks

My Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials has several Windows 8.1 computers connected to it and it backs them up happily. I connected my Surface Pro 3 to the server but the properties of the device shows the following:

Operating System: Cannot determine the operating system.

System type: Cannot determine the operating system.

This means the Surface Pro 3 cannot be backed up.

Has anyone else seen and fixed this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Error Server Essentials Post Deployment Fails at 100%

I am trying to figure out whats the next step. After post deployment the Essentials wizard gets to 100% and gives me the error occurred while configuring Windows Server Essentials. Please try again.

So far I have tried all of these and still no wind in the sail:

Log as a service; Define these policys settings is checked. Also added DOMAIN\MediaAdmin$ & DOMAIN\ServerAdmin$.

My server name is <14 characters.

Renamed the C:\ServerFolders

Uninstall Essentials Experience role .

Reboot the server.

Uninstall ADCS

Installed the role again.

Still loads to 100% , then shortly after it gives the error occurred message..

Does the fact that this server is a Domain Controller have anything to do with this ?

You cant change the wind but you can adjust your sail, right now I need help adjusting the sail!

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

All the best and thanks in advance.

0XC000021A During Server 2012 R2 Essentials Setup

I have attempted to install Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials about a dozen times for use as a home server to replace an existing Home Server 2011 box. The server is a custom build using an Asus H97 board with Core i5 and Intel I350 server NIC.  The initial install of Windows Server 2012 R2 component goes 100% fine and I manually update all drivers via Intel's website using signed drivers for the O/S. However, once I start the Essentials portion with the automated wizard, it'll get through about 5% and then on a 2nd restart I get a stop error of 0XC000021A. Doing some research on this error all I can locate is issues with drivers but I'm certain I'm using good drivers from Intel that are very recent and signed. I did also try F8 and disable driver signing checks but this has no effect.

I have installed no 3rd party software.  It does appear that the DCpromo portion of the Essentials setup gets partway through and then upon reboot, I'm getting the stop error.

Does Essentials have a setup log file that gets generated during the installation?  I thought I could use this to troubleshoot what portion is getting hung-up.

Thanks for any input.

Hi,

I have a problem with DPM 2012 not backing up some files.  On investigation it seems that it is a Windows Server problem.

The problem is below:

A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f3, The writer experienced a transient error.  If the backup process is retried,
the error may not reoccur.
. Changes that the writer made to the writer components while handling the event will not be available to the requester. Check the event log for related events from the application hosting the VSS writer. 

Operation:
   PrepareForSnapshot Event

Context:
   Execution Context: Writer
   Writer Class Id: {66841cd4-6ded-4f4b-8f17-fd23f8ddc3de}

Phantom alert from BPA Results?

February 5, 2014, 10:32 am

I've been receiving what appears to be a phantom or bogus alert on my 2012 R2 Essentials server.

The alert is: Warning: BPA scan results contain Warnings.

In the details tab, its says: BPA scan on 2/5/2014 2:00:19 AM found 2 warnings in your system. Open Server Manager, click the Essentials tab, and view additional details in the Best Practices Analyzer section

However, when I check the BPA results in Server Manger, the only two results showing are Information-level (compliant) results. There are no entries showing under Warnings or Errors.  (One says I'm running BPA version 1.0, and the other says I've completed 63 checks using BPA.)

It appears that these two results are triggering the server alert somehow, even though they are listed as compliant.

I've tried ignoring and deleting the alert, but it just comes back.

Any ideas why this is happening, or how I can fix it?

Thank you.

windows server 2012 r2 problems

January 15, 2015, 1:59 pm

I built a brand new server for a client of mine. The day before the install of the new server, their old sbs 2003 had both of the hard drives fail. Fortunately they had back ups of all of the important data. I went in and installed the new server. I first attempted to connect it to the current domain. I managed to promote it to domain controller. I had issues with connecting client computers to the new server. The connection program downloads fine, however once you input username and password, after about 3 minutes the client computers would show an error saying that the server is unavailable. I was able to get only 1 of the 10 computers connected to the server on the same domain as the old server. The other computers kept showing that error. I read around on a few blogs and found some interesting information stating that because I couldn't demote the old server before I promoted the new one that I was inevitably going to run into issues. 

     The next day I decided to completely re-install the 2012 r2 software with the intent on changing the domain name so there would be no conflicts. instead of their typical domain <domain> I added a 1 after <domain1>. I set the server up according to the microsoft support site steps, however each computer is still showing the same error. From each client computer I removed it from the previous domain, and just made them work group users while attempting to connect them to the server. I have gone through all of the steps that Microsoft has regarding the server is not available error. I synchronized the time, as well as a few other things. 

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this? I need help, what was supposed to be a few hour project has turned into a week so far. I can't seem to get these client computers connected to the server. If there are any suggestions I am certainly all ears, and I appreciate in advance any help in this matter.

Thanks for your time
