Server 2012 enterprise 0xc000021a. 

acutally what happens is .... we have server where windows server 2012 enterprise installed with hyper-v and machines are running on it... suddenly power goes down and server 2012 machine goes down and when power restored. the server neither go in safe mode and neither in last known good configuration and neither repair. its shows that we normally starts "we are collection some information for error and we will restart......(0% complete)...... error code 0xc000021a. and restart server with in 1 min.

kindly give the solution to restore the windows.

Except for this - Storage Spaces seems to work fine for me on the test system ... waiting though for the new RST driver from Intel (in beta just now). Apparently there has been some troubles with previously releases for Win8/Win2012. So lacking that driver. May be online/offline disk problem can be related to the driver? Right now, running on the auto-detected MS drivers ...

Storage Space: Taking a disk offline, putting it as disk passthrough in VM, online, later offline ... and then online in Host DM ... and then offline and online may create 2 instances in host DM ... or so on ... may invalidate the disk.

During this "working the disk" ... it seems it may become forreign, invalid, missing or somehow likewise get its identity corrupted in the system.

I have even seen the DM in the host create 2 instances for the same disk where one is missing the other is invalid. Sometimes it was fixed by rebooting the host.

Also, a virtual disk in SS as disk pass-through to a VM - with a system image restore of a dynamic volume from inside that VM ... if that disk is onlined/offlined later in the host ... and previously was a part of a mirror (that was correctly broken) ... all of a sudden that disk may loose its identity as i.e. disk 5 and become disk M0 (i.e. rediscovery of a previous mirror all of a sudden).

When the virtual disk from Storage Space is used inside a VM ... don't online it somewhere else, i.e. in the host - or it may stop working i.e. when put back in the VM.

I do not trust offline/online that virtual disk in Storage Spaces yet ... don't do it too much :o)

Hello,

Is it possible to install RRAS separetaly from DirectAccess?

I have no use for DirectAccess or VPN features from the Remote Access role.

The problem is that i can't go through the configuration wizard because my server don't have a public IP connected directly.

And that "1" on the notification box is annoying.

Thanks.

I've set up DirectAccess on a Server 2012 machine with 1 NIC behind a NAT firewall.
There's an A record created externally that points to an external IP on our firewall where port 443 is forwarded to the DA server.

If I run Get-DAConnectionStatus I get:

Status    : Error
Substatus : NameResolutionFailure

I'm able to ping 3 IPv6 adresses on the DA server, but I can't do an nslookup since the DNS on the DA server isn't responding:

Server:  [fddb:9630:7cda:3333::1]
Address:  fddb:9630:7cda:3333::1

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.

If I check the logs on the client, I get these errors:

Error: Corporate connectivity is not working. Windows is unable to resolve DNS names for probes. 16/2/2013 14:54:29 (UTC)

Anyone got a clue why this is happening?
I've had it running before on the same server, that was just a test though, so when the server was going to production I chose to re-install and do a clean setup which now fails.

Hello,

I've been running Windows Server 2012 Essentials from a week after it was released and my computers have been backing up to it just fine.  Yesterday and today I noticed that one of the computers reported that it wasn't successful, so I ran the repair tool, which reported everything was fine.  Then, I noticed that all but one of the computers is listed under "Backup status" as "Not set up".  The computers were backing up regularly, but when I look through them, I see the last successful backup was on 1/15/2013 at 4:52 AM.

What would cause the backup status to suddenly become "not set up"?  Was there a Windows update or something that broke the backup?

Thanks.

Will Virtual Machines with SQL Express 2005 and Exchange 2003 be supported together with Hyper-V Replica?
If not, will other versions be supported?

Are there any risks involved when running SQL and Exchange with Hyper-V Replica? Data loss or corruption during failover?

Regards

Glenn

Ok here is my current Setup.

Setup Server 2012 :
  >> one server has plays the roll of DC and AD

  >> second server plays the roll of Exchange 2013.

The issue is as follows.

DHCP, DNS Exchange is setup.

Question one
OWA works but gives me a Certification issue on the Browser while opening it. but when i click continue and log the in profile i can send and receive mails. How do i  fix this?

Question 2When opening outlook and and trying to setup a exchange profile on outlook the  following occurs.
The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.

When i ping the server via cmd, (with ip or server name) i get a reply.

What could be the issue? 

Does anyone know if Microsoft have dropped the ability to send email notifications for scheduled tasks on Server 2012? If so is there another way around this?

It was a handy feature that I used a lot but since upgrading to server 2012 when I try to configure it now I get the error:

"An error has occurred for task SERVER Backup Successful task. Error message: The following error was reported: 2147750704."

Hi

                I have some WPF application that has WiX installer. I install this app using Administrator account in Program Files\[My app folder].

                Next I log out and log in as user that is member of local Administrators group. When I run the app I got error that there are no privileges to write file in folder Program Files\[My app folder]. This is the exception that I get:

“System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'test_file' is denied.

   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

   at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, Object dirSecurityObj, Boolean checkHost)

   at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectoryHelper(String path, Boolean checkHost)

   at MyApp.Common.SystemUtils.CreateDir(String path, String leave)”

                When I go to security settings for this folder I see that local Administrators group has full access to this folder.

                When I go to this folder using Windows Explorer I also cannot create any file. This option is not available in context menu from Windows Explorer, I can create only folder there.

                Why security settings say that I have full control to this folder but I cannot create any file there?

I have the same thing happen on two different servers.

Both are Windows Server 2012, added to domain.  Once the DHCP role is added, the server is authorized.  Eventually the Task Manager comes back and says there is a post install configuration needed for the DHCP role.  Try to do it as a domain admin, and get the dreaded "failed to open registry key on target computer to set the status of post configuration task"  the server is already authorized.

What is the solution to this?  Kind of irritating!!!!

hello,

   recently we got window server 2012 license . I was trying to install remote desktop service but it wont install error given: "this server must be a part of domain controller" then I made it as part of DC and RD service installed successfully. further I tried to install RD connection via server manager of selection "ADD ROLE and FEATURES" (this option also required current server must be a part DC)  . during selection of RD connection given error : "compatibility issur" . might be compatibility with DC because DC we configured in window server 2008R2 and the current server is window 2012.

My question is how to install Remote desktop service and RD connection with out Domain Controller evolvement in window server 2012. plz acknowledge.

Regards

Hi!

In WS2012 smart card service is set to start as Automatic (triggered). I have problems with using smart cards over rdp session because it seems that smart card service wll not start automatically. So, I cannot use smart card logon and either some smart-card based web-apps in my environment.

Is it possible to start smart card service in WS 2012without any trigger and just keep it running?

Thanks,

Apparently an operational status of unknown: unknown after a system failure can mean a virtual disk is detached so you need to reattach it

It would be great though if the operational status reported i.e. detached instead of unknown:unknown

Not great and worrying a disk can report an operational status of unknown: unknown - while actually being ok?

I.e. I recon folks are quite used seen if a disk is listed with unknown, raw, no file system, no status ... it's issue time? But not here?

An experience:

After the host env got BSOD'ed ... I took a look at the storage storage. Oh, there was a virtual disk with a warning and an operational status of Unknown: Unknown. No failures on the physical disks. The volume was gone. No list of the disk either.

Completely vanished. Just an opertional status of unknown: unknown. So with this operational status, the host os just crashed during a guest vm's backup operation and storage spaces being new stuff I cared this virtual disk was may be in bad shape with storage Spaces because reporting an operational status of unknown: unknown after that event.

So went to Repair-VirtualDisk -friendlyname thisdisk ... it runs ... by no report at all. With -verbose option. Nothing. Not even ok.

No bad, no ok, no false, no true. Just reporting to like null: ...

So I went back to the management interface. Should I just delete and restore?

I had a right click more on the virtual disk being reluctant initially to attach a virtual disk. Well, thats it. The "attach" virtual disk.

Apparently an operational status of unknown: unknown after a system failure can mean a virtual disk is detached so you need to reattach it - and Repair-VirtualDisk reporting "nothing" (i.e. does the cmdlet not process in the background i.e. need for -verbose?) always means the virtual disk is ok.

Hello there,

I'm having some weird issue with Windows Server 2012 Standard

Installed on HP Proliant ML150 G6

Server roles installed:

DC, DHCP, DNS

Serving 50 users, it's main purpose is to run as a file server.

The weird thing is, every 20 minutes give or take, random domain users lose their connection for 30 seconds (not all of them in the same time), at that time they can't access to the network mapped drives, when they click on the mapped drive, it hangs for about 30 seconds until the connection is restored and also during that time they cannot surf the web.

I can confirm that it is not a network issue, because I can still ping other clients and the router, the only computer that reply me with a timeout is the server itself, and after 30 secs, I am getting a reply.

another thing is worth of mentioning is that when I log into the server via Logmein from my home, there seems to be no issue, the connection is stable and at the same time, some users lose their connection to the server for 30 seconds - give or take. is it possible that it have something to do with the Windows Firewall? any suggestions? 

Hi :)

I've created in Win Svr 2012 task on event to start program (because send mail is deprecated - DISASTER ! - shame on you MS ;)

I've entered in program filed call for powershell and in parameters field:

Send-MailMessage -From "sender@md" -To "receiver@md" -Subject "subject" -Body "text“ -SmtpServer smtp_server_address

Becase it is triggered task running it have make no sence, history says that task is executed.

If I run command manually in powershell it is executed and mail is sent.

I've try to "inject" in event log event which should triggered to task be executed with PS:

Write-Eventlog  -Logname "event log name" -source "source" -eventID event_num -EntryType Warning -message "TEST"

And I can see new event in log but task scheduler not execute task on event :(

Any idea or suggestion ?

Thank you.

Best regards

Hello all of you!

Very soon i'm going to buy my very first server, and i have been looking on the HP ProLiant MicroServer with the following specs

AMD Turion II Neo N40L / 1.5 GHz

2GB DDR3 SDRAM - ECC 800MHz

250GB HDD..

I am going to upgrade it to 8GB RAM and get two 2TB WD Red harddrives to use in RAID 1, but i have some questions..

Can this "server" run Windows Server 2012?

Second how do i set up this server as i want to?

I'm want to use it as my network drive that requires login, and a Torrent Server because i'm also in the need of Linux but i can't code so i'm going to use it to seed 24/7..

And Maybe a MSSQL server..

All this software i need Windows Server 2012 and MSSQL Server i can get at my school because of DreamSpark :)

I have also seen on Windows Server 2008 R2 but the 2012 edition looks more friendly to config :)

trying to make a NIC team on a phsyical windows server 2012
