Hi all
It is not possible to make a system backup to an SMB-Share with EXT3 Filesystem (Qnap boxes etc.).
It was ending with
error 0xC03A0005 because the new vhdx-format.
Thats why, I chosed an iSCSI target for the backup.
I haven't tried the restore from Recovery DVD at the moment. But I remembered that a restore from iSCSi is not possible in W2k8R2.
Thats why my question: Is a recovery from iSCSI possible in W2k12?
Thanks for hints

Hi,
When I try to add roles or features to my Windows Server 2012 Standard server through the GUI the wizard fails with an Out of Memory exception.
Eventviewer doen's show anyhting specific. I've tried repairing .NET and reinstalling the OS but the error persists.
Not sure where to look for next.
Hi!
I´m trying to get some answers regarding licensing. I have spoken to several persons that are licensing-partners with Microsoft but get diffrent answers and I can´t trust the answers that I get.
First of all I wonder if its OK to mix user and device CALs? If it´s OK, does that apply to all licenses thar require CALs, like server, TS, Exchange...?
Second I have heard that you can get a processor license and that way you don´t need any CALs. I know that this is true for SQL, but is it also valid for server, Exchange, TS and others?
I would very much appriciate an answer!

When I open the Hyper-V manager on my Windows 8 Release Preview I can connect to other 2012 Server normally, but if I try to connect to a Windows Server 2008 R2 hyper-v Host I get this error:
"An error occurred while attempting to connect to server...."
"This version of Hyper-V manager cannot be used to manage servers running Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2"
Any work around?
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to import dhcp settings from 2008 R2 servers to Server 2012 using Server Manager,
I figured out how to do it with DNS and AD... but not with DHCP...
Is this possible?
It is Server 2012 Standard license.
My philosophy - use whatever works for you, be it *nix, OSX or Windows.
Hi all,
I am trying to installl WSUS on windows server, it repors the request to add or remove features on the specified server failed. the operation cannot be completed because the server that you specified requires a restart. But when i do that it is the same problem see the screen shot below:.
This is on our domain controler
Found this in eventlog:
The MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID with the currently configured password due to the following error:
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Service: MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID
Domain and account: NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID
This service account does not have the required user right "Log on as a service."
User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in
the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right.
oes some one know how to fix this .
With kind regards, Bas van den Dikkenberg
Hi,
I've started testing a Windows Server 2012 DirectAccess "cluster" based on two nodes running NLB.
I have tried to find info on if it is supported in Windows Server 2012 to run the DA NLB in multicast mode but can't seem to find any info about this, apart from old info saying that it is supported in SP1 for UAG.
Anyone here who knows if it is supported to run a 2012 DA NLB Array/cluster i multicast mode?
Thanks in advance!
I am looking to upgrade our SBS 2003 R2 server to Windows 2012, and was wondering if I install 2012 in the Hyper-V role, and install 2012 Essentials as a VM, will I need to purchase CALs for my user who are going to connect to the Essentials VM as Essentials gives me up to 25 users?
I want to use the other VM as a RDS server to run LoB apps, Office / Accounting etc, and I am aware that I will need additional CALs for the RDS server, but I just thought I would let you know why I am not just getting the Essentials on it's one.
Additionally, am I able to use my VM licenses (Standard includes 2) to downgrade to Essentials and run the RDS server?
I have a management program that runs on windows server, i have a two server and I would like to replicate the program data on both servers
I can use clustering even if not using virtual servers?
Thanks for all

Is it possible to push a GPO out that well tell my domain clients to resolve certain addresses with the ISPs DNS servers? Such as "test.domain.com" which should be resolved ONLY externally?
I have installed Server 2012 Standard edition to a VM in Vmware 8 (a coworker has also done this in VMware 9 and receives the same problems) on a windows 7 Enterprise box with 8GB of ram and a 4 core AMD cpu. Hardware GPU acceleration is enabled for the
VM and the VM has 2GB or Ram and 1 core allocated to it.
I created a new user and made this user a local administrator. This server is not connected to a domain. I added the web server role with the SMTP feature. I then proceeded to install SQL server 2012. After restarting I got the problems below.
My desktop is black with no icons. There are no icons pinned to the taskbar and the clock does not display. Pressing the windows key does not bring up the metro UI. Server manager crashes upon startup. Right clicking on the desktop and selecting "screen resolution"
results in a registry error. The computer is completely unusable like this.
Also sometimes this problem also affects the built in admin account and sometimes it does not. I have also had this problem happen to the built in admin account after the installation of server 2012 with no other software installed. My coworker who has this
same problem created the new user account (local admin) through a domain/ active directory.
Right clicking on the taskbar does allow me to bring up the task manager.
Regedit works from task manager
Services.msc works from task manager
msconfig works from task manager
cmd works from task manager
compmgmt.msc works from task manager
No desktop or taskbar, windows key does not bring up metro
Error upon right clicking and selecting "Screen Resolution"
Control panel error:

I have also run the .net repair executable and that did not solve this issue. I opened component services and the COM security tab. I then added the user account to the default properties of both "Access Permissions" and "Launch and Activation Permissions"
and gave full access. This seemed to work for a time but then after a reboot the error above re-occurred.
I am at a loss here and have not found anyone else with a similar problem.

Hi,
I've just setup a Server 2012 DirectAccess server with one NIC in NAT. I opened port 443 on one of my public IP and NAted it to my DA server. Now everything works fine when the clients are on the inside. From the outside, the clients cannot ping the probes. The weird thing is I can access the probe web site (http://directaccess-webprobehost.internal.com) from the outside but cannot ping the domain.
Thanks for your help
I am running DirectAccess on a 2012 server / domain and I am experiencing a whole range of issues.
A common problem is the inability to transfer data to and from map drives, this tends to run VERY slow and after a period of time ends up failing.
The second and most critical issue is the fact that after a day or so my DirectAccess server will stop handling requests for "some" remote clients. They can even type in the URL into a web browser and normally it would produce a 404 error but it acts like it can't even establish a connection. This appears to be a random event for select clients where some can access and other cannot. A simple reboot of the DA server fixes this. So my question is what fixes this and does DA temp ban IP addresses or something?
Hi there,<o:p></o:p>
We have few Windows 2003 file servers here. Each file server has hundreds of shares and some of those shares must be online during the working day. At the moment we are not using any file server clustering or DFS technology. All windows patches must be done at night or during weekend. <o:p></o:p>
We are looking on replacing our “old” Windows 2003 file servers with the new Windows 2012 servers. For this new project we have purchase two brand new HP servers (HP ProLiant DL360 Gen8). Both servers will be connected to SAN with iSCSI connection. <o:p></o:p>
We haven’t played with Windows Server 2012 much just yet so I need your professional advice on building best possible scenario for our future file server.<o:p></o:p>
Here are my proposed options so far.<o:p></o:p>
Option One<o:p></o:p>
We are going to install Windows Server 2012 on both HP servers. For each server we will create one or more LUNs on our SAN. All shares will be moved from old Win2003 servers onto the new ones. Logon script will be modified with new location path for the drive mappings. <o:p></o:p>
From what I can see, this option is pretty much the same what we always had. Still no fault tolerance and no high availability for shares. All security patches needs to be done at night…, again.<o:p></o:p>
Option Two<o:p></o:p>
Two node file server cluster will be setup. Now, we can patch and restart server during the working day. Maybe creating two node file server cluster is going to be over kill here… Maybe I need to look at the DFS option… No sure if DFS is better solutions with Windows 2012. And, from my memory does the DFS solution require double the space? Basically both file servers will have replicas of files and folders
Option Three<o:p></o:p>
Windows 2012 Server Core with Hyper-V role will be installed on both servers. We will create two node Hyper-V cluster with one or more Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) on SAN. On Hyper-V cluster we can create 2-4 virtual Windows 2012 servers. Now, we need to decide which option to choose for our file servers. Option one or two from my proposed option list.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Folks,
My system administrator installed windows but when i check with test page from Adobe it shows that flash isn't enabled. I understood that in this version flash comes with windows by default.
Could you tell me how can enable flash? Because he doesn't know how.
I have windows server 2012 machine and IE 10.
Thanks,
Cheers,
Tony
I have just installed server 2012 on a new server with QLogic 2560 Adaptors. have configured the Adaptor with a vport and it has been issued with a WWN as well.
I have also tried to check Hyper-V settings (virtual SAN manager), but it is telling me that the device or driver does not support virtual Fibre Channel.
I do understand that there will be changes that are required to be made on the Fibre Switch, NVP, however, the above error is just telling me that my Fibre card is not supported?
When I tried to do a backup with wbadmin from the powershell windows as "Administrator", it failed with error:
The backup of volume (C:) could not be completed. Error: The mounted backup volume is inaccessible. Please retry the operation.
The Windows server backup log in C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup show:
Backup of volume C: has failed. The specified backup disk cannot be found.
However, running backup from windows server backup console works fine.
