Hello community
I guess this question applies to all Windows Servers.
The problem is that when I run ADSI Edit right click CN=Configuration - Properties
- Security Tab, under "Group or User name" - Security tab the "Add" button where you
add a user account is disabled.
How can I enable the "Add" button to add the user account or add a user account in
any other way?
Thank you

Hi All,
Not sure if i am going nuts but how do you change the drive letter a CD/DVD drive in WS 2012?
It is fine for a USB stick but just not the DVD! One server has onboard DVD and the other uses USB DVD
Hi,
I've tried the new Windows Server 2012 final release and all the basic stuff works fine.
Not being an expert on either IPv6 or PKI I'm very thankful for the simplified guide to set up DirectAccess. I've come so far that the client is connected to the DA server when being in an external network. The client can also reach resources on the DA server.
But the problem comes when the client tries to access other internal servers or our DFS.
Our internal network is your basic NAT IPv4 network with only standard IPv6 settings on all machines. According to this #7 on this blog (http://blog.slalom.com/2012/05/14/windows-server-8-part-4-direct-access/)
DA should be able to reach internal IPv4 resources as well.
Thankful for any tips or ideas!
Kind regards
Bjorn
I have consulted a few other forum posts (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprosecurity/thread/4c30dc8a-139e-4e78-b7ab-7412cbd4036f), and the solution of removing the softwaredistribution folder has not worked.
I have also followed a post from 2009 which also did not solve the problem: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/windows-update-error-code-8024a000/562845f3-78d5-42a0-bed5-e3fd39f01df7
The system is a brand new Server 2012 Domain Controller, and updates are coming from a remote Server 2008 R2 server (which has had update KB2734608 installed to allow Windows 8 and Server 2012 clients to be updated). I have also tried updating this server via external Windows Update as well.
I continue to get the Code 80246003 everytime I check for updates. The servers have all been restarted and the WSUS server can provide updates to Windows 7 and Windows 2008 clients without problem.
Help!
Hi i just installed sql server 2012 on Windows 2012, and I have no idea where to go to run the Management Studio.
What is the option to open any installed application?
Thanks.
In Storage Services:
In the system BIOS, all the drives appear as SCSI devices. Therefore, I was expecting all three interfaces to display the BUS as either SCSI or SATA. Can anyone explain to me why the motherboard shows ATA and one of the cards shows Fibre Channel?? No where in the product docs for the AOC-SAT2-MV8 does it even mention the word Fibre.
Thanks!
The title says it all. For Server 2012 RC, in the reason for shut down menu, "Operating System: Recovery (Planned)" is duplicated, and "Operating System: Recovery (Unplanned)" is missing
Looks like a typo in the pick list. Should be easy to fix :-)
Hello everyone!
I like Server 2012, but i don't understand about antivirus protection use there.
In Server 2008 i use Microsoft Essential and i think it's very good decision. But Microsoft Essential don't install on Server 2012. In internet i read many sundry opinion - first Essential build in Server 2012 and second: Server 2012 don't have build-in antivirus protection. I suppose that Defender (as called Microsoft Essential now in win8) must be build in Server 2012. But i cannot find his. In Control Panel i don't see his.
Please, explain me:
1. Have Server 2012 build-in protection as example Defender or something another from malware, spyware etc?
2. If Server 2012 have Defender - how to turn on his?
Very thanks in advance!
OS boots, reboots, and runs great when only the OS drive is connected [OCZ Agility3 SSD]. Drive is connected to SATA port on motherboard.
When an 8-port SATA expansion card is connected to the PCI1 slot, OS can boot, install driver, reboot, and run with no problems. The card is a Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8. However, when I connect a HD to the card, Windows will not boot up. The machine will POST, during which I see the card display the connected HD, and then the new Windows Logo appears but without the circling dots. Furthermore, the keyboard is locked - Ctrl+ Alt+Del does nothing, and the NumLock/CapsLock lights on the keyboard are stuck in whatever position they were prior to being locked.
This has been very frustrating! I've spent at least a hundred hours on this problem, trying to understand what is causing it and how to fix it. One terribly confusing thing about all this is that on one bootup attempt when I thought the keyboard was going to get locked, I started banging on the keyboard in frustration. THE NEXT THING I KNOW, THERE ARE SOME ODD SYMBOLS ON THE SCREEN, apparently in response to my banging of the keyboard - it was too fast to take a picture of, but I clearly remember seeing a Spade symbol (as in a deck of playing cards) and the last symbol was that of a happy face - not an emoticon as in :) but a full circle with two horizontal eyes inside complete with a smile. THEN THE MACHINE BOOTED UP!
There seems to be some fundamental user-interaction changes in the new OS - for example, a BSOD now shows a sad-face emoticon and a much calmer shutdown message. Was my late-night keyboard banging experience an example of some new intuitive user-interaction? Or was it some keystroke combination that I just happened to luck out and press as I was banging the keyboard???
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a pair of WS2012 (RTM) nodes configured as a cluster. Neither physical server has a TPM. I have a new LUN presented to the cluster and configured as a CSV which is functioning as expected. I would like to encrypt the volume using BitLocker.
After placing the Cluster Disk into Maintenance mode, I have attempted to execute the following command:
Enable-BitLocker -MountPoint C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1 -AdAccountOrGroup DOMAIN\MyCNO -AdAccountOrGroupProtector
Unfortunately this always fails with the following:
Add-SidProtectorInternal : Encryption failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090034)Any ideas?
Today I noticed this message in the event viewer:
Event ID: 16387
Severity: Error
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP
Log: Application
Message: Failed to run task \Microsoft\Windows\WS\License Validation. Error Code: 0x80041326
Does this mean the free eval use version of Windows Server 2012 has expired?
OS: Windows Server 2012 RC Build 8400
Thanks
I am making my Windows Server 2012 looks like Windows 8 and using it as my workstation OS, for using some features available only in Server OS.
Here's the problem:
After Office 2010 installed, I found some gradient effects on the UI appear incorrectly. For example the File menu button:
on Windows Server 2012,
which should be
on Windows 8.
Desktop Experience has already been installed, and Visual Effects is set to Adjust for best appearance.
Any other settings?
Thanks.
I get the following error when I try to create a Virtual desktop collection;
"The Virtual desktop template does not meet the provisioning requirements."
although I'm specifing a sysprep'd VM installed WS2012 for a virtual desktop template.
Is there any way to resolve?
Or, is there any couses of this message?
thanks.
I am interested in using WSS 2012 storage spaces as a way to store EDB files for Exchange 2010 SP2. Is that possible? At the machine level, I have it setup as Jbod, and am letting the Storage spaces setup the drives as Striping with Parity. Will that be able to priovide the IOPS for storing the Exchange mailbox database? Do I need to worry about Data intergity? Is it a supported solution by MS?
It looks really cool, and very scalable, but I must admit, I am afraid to use it as I dont know the issues it will present....
Thanks for any answers!!
Hi there,
thera are much possibilities to run mod_rewrite with .htaccess on Windows Server 2008 IIS7, like the apache did. Is there currently any solution to run the module on a Windows Server 2012?
thanks for helping :)
Hi,
I currently have 2 Server 2008R2 hosted in Hyper-V in my (domainless) home Network.
Communication to and between works flawlessly using the computer names. (Remote Desktop, File shares...)
However, I now added 2 Server 2012 machines and with them things don't work out so good.
While name resolution seems to work ok for about 10-15 minutes after booting them it fails after that. They are simply not reachable by name (IP is fine) anymore after some time. Neither from clients nor between them.
Name resolution of clients while on the server seems to work fine.
What appears strange to me is that name resolution seems to work using LLMNR in my current network (evident by the ipv6 addresses in pings and WSUS with an ipv4 router).
However when viewing the network traffic, pinging one of the 2012 servers, NetBIOS can be seen broadcasting, asking for an IP
Thanks for any help

Sorry for sort-of double posting
Setup:
Server: Server 2012 with Hyper-V enabled Role, 3 x 500GB 7k2 SATA drives to MSI P35 NEO2-FR onboard controller, pass through to guest.
Guest: Server 2012 Essentials, using those 3 pass through disks for Storage Pool -> virtual Drive -> Share that folder
I just shut down the guest and restarted the Host. Start of Guest not possible, because of Error:
My guts told me, take a look at hosts storage, e voila:
So what, i cant switch the drives offline for use in guest, since OS hides them there, as soon as it sees Storage Spaces on them...
