I have a domain controller with Windows Server 2012 on it. After updates, the server does not reboot immediately. However if I remote into the server I will be presented with a countdown for a reboot. The only options are to restart now or to close the notification. However the countdown still continues and the server eventually reboots without my permission. How can I stop this from occurring?
I have a two part question:
1) Which server roles or other functions built into Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 will also install SQL along with them?
2) Since no management tools also get installed, how can the instance in SQL be managed? Specifically how would you limit the memory that this instance is using up?
I'm asking this question because when you search pretty much anywhere, all the answers assume you installed MS SQL manually.
I know by default domain members sync time to the domain controller. However computers can be set later to pull time from an external source and then cause problem. How can this be fixed in Group Policy so that domain members always sync back to the domain controller and that that the domain controller syncs from hardware?
