Cannot install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a Supermicro X9SRA

I have bought the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard OEI and it will not install on the brand new Supermicro X9SRA motherboard. I have tried to install the previous version (Windows Server 2012 Standard) and it installs fine with no problems. 
I need to install R2 in order to use the Essentials role. I have also tried to install the trial version of 2012 R2. which I downloaded from the microsoft website and got the same result. The installation goes into a loop. The circle bellow the Windows logo
goes on forever and nothing happens. I can not even get to choose the language. The loop happens as the disk starts.
Can anyone please help?

Does SuperMicro support the installation of Windows Server onto that MB?  I do not find any reference to X9SRA at
www.windowsservercatalog.com, which is where hardware vendor post the systems on which they will support the various versions of the Windows Server operating system.  I see lots of SuperMicro solutions,
but none of them appear to list the X9SRA MB.  You need to contact SuperMicro to determine if they support it.

  • Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server

    I've been trying fresh installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server several times for two weeks, but always get the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation". At first, I attempted
    to install all features, but failed several times. So I decided to try install just Database Engine service, and still fail at the SqlBrowserConfigAction_Install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32, with the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
    I remote login to server with my admin domain account. This account is in server local Administrators group. I
    1. Right-click on setup.exe file | properties | Compatibility tab | select compatibility to Windows 8.Then click OK.
    2. Right-click on setup.exe file | Run as Administrator, to start the Installation Center.
    I have the document of my installation steps and zip file of the installation logs, if you need to take a look.
    Appreciate for any help!
    ntth

    Hi ntth,
    "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
    The above error is always related to the Windows account SID mapping. I recommend you login into Windows using another Windows account which has administrative privileges and run SQL Server setup using that Windows account.
    Besides, please note that we need to apply SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 or a later update when installing SQL Server Windows Server 2012 R2. For more information, please review this
    KB article.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely

    As we all know,
    the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
    Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
    In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
    Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
    Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
    Get-WindowsFeature
    PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
    Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
    Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
    (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
      2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    (1)  In an existing domain environment
    Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
    Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
    Server Essentials:
    Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
    Note: The type of
    Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
    You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.
    By the way, you can use
    Get-WssConfigurationStatus
    PowerShell cmdlet to
    get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
    ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
    Figure 8.
    (2) In a non-domain environment
    Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
    Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
    Figure 9.
    After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
    After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
    After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
    Figure 12.
    Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

    Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
    In an existing domain environment
    In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
    -ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
    Figure 13.
    After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
    Figure 14.
    After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
    Figure 15.
    Next, please use the
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
    Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
    xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
    Figure 16.
    Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
    Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
    Figure 17.
    After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
    Figure 18.
    After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
    Figure 19.
    2. In a non-domain environment
    In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
    below:
    Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
    Server2: 192.168.1.53
    Run
    Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
    Figure 20.
    Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
    to
    add the TrustedHosts entry:
    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
    (Figure 21)
    Figure 21.
    Next, we can use
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
    Figure 22.
    After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
    Figure 23.
    From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
    Figure 24.
    Then you can use
    Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
    The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
    Figure
    25.
    Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
    Figure 26.

  • Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 R2; system aborts and reboots after first blue Windows logo appears

    System:  Dell PowerEdge sc1420 with dual xeon and Adaptec 2420SA SATA RAID (supported by OS); 10 GB memory (2x4, rank 2, organization x4, in DIMM1 & DIMM2; 2x1, registered, organization x8, in DIMM3 & DIMM4)
    This computer is currently running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise which was installed with no problems.
    Objective: clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on an otherwise unused RAID array disk set.
    All attempts to boot from DVD result in loading of files (grey progress bar on bottom of screen), brief dark screen, then black screen with a blue windows logo for about 2 seconds and then a flash of about 10 lines of error notifications on a black screen
    for about 1/4 second (unreadable), and then a reboot of the computer.
    Coreinfo.exe confirms that cpus DO support NX and PAE; do NOT support VMX (virtual machine enhancements).
    Attempts to run memtest.exe from boot disk tool-menu startup result in an error message that the memtest.exe file is corrupt.
    Running memtest.exe from Windows 2008 R2 install disk results in all memory tests passed!
    Attempted booting with multiple DVD's (some +R, some -R, all verified) burned from .iso.  These DVD's were used successfully to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on an HP Pavilion.  Also changed DVD drives just to rule out DVD hardware. 
    Running CHKDSK from Windows 2012 R2 on HP Pavilion shows no problems; running CHKDSK from Windows 2008 R2 on the Dell system on the same disks shows some problems.  Running checkdisk on the Windows 2008 R2 install disk from the Windows 2008 R2 installed
    system shows no problems.  All disks burned and verified on same system.
    Also attempted to boot from USB thumbdrive with copy of DVD on it.  Same results: system loads files then reboots at first Windows logo.  So that would rule out disk quality issues per se??
    Started to try an upgrade rather clean install to see if any errors were announced.  None were announced as the system went through much of the process.  I aborted somewhere along the way before committing to the upgrade because 1) the most likely
    outcome was it would not boot after install (I don't really need the practice in restoring); and 2) even if it did reboot, having a system that can't be repaired by booting the install disk is pointless.
    All disks and raid arrays are recognized and usable by RAID controller card and by Windows Server 2008 R2.  Disks are within spec for use with Adaptec 2420SA (1TB @ 300).
    Is VMX (aka VT-x) actaully required for ANY install even though Hyper-V is not intended to be used?  If so, it is too bad that the Microsoft system requirements (
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303418.aspx ) don't make that clear.  And lack of VMX support really doesn't explain the memtest.exe "corruption" issue. 
    Or is it maybe something unique about the files on 2012 R2 disk (or disk image on USB) that are causing some problem with the chipset processing?  But why?
    My vote would be for the latter of the issues, but I have no clue why or if it is remediable.  Suggestions? 

    So here is what I think is the final understanding of this problem:
    First, one additional piece of important information:  The computer successfully moves into and through the Windows Boot Loader phase and succeeding phase ONLY for Windows 8.1 32-bit, but NOT for Windows 8.1 64-bit nor for Windows
    Server 2012 R2 (only 64-bit).
    The Windows Boot Manager phase (which precedes the Windows Boot Loader phase) is either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) and is loaded by the 16-bit stub program (Bootmgr) which starts in real mode. 
    Windows Boot Loader of course runs in either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) according to the product being installed.
    By inference, the essential problem is occurring in conjunction with the loading of a WIM file to start the Windows Boot Manager. 
    The boot manager starts ok and generally shows its essential screens (Windows Boot Manager; Advanced Boot Options) or proceeds to load files for transition into Windows startup in the succeeding Windows Boot Loader phase (that doesn’t “boot” but rather
    loads the system).  This is best confirmed by the announced corruption of the memtest.exe file when selecting Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager Screen. 
    If allowed to continue loading files to pass control to the Windows Boot Manager, the type of abort and resulting immediate restart that occurs is that which you would associate with unhandled cpu exceptions (invalid instruction, memory out of range,
    wild interrupt, etc.) that most of us have not commonly seen for 20 years (since beginning to use well behave OS’s from Windows NT 3.1 and on).
    So, the problem obviously is due to a failure to properly mount the WIM file and/or properly access it (probably the latter) when running in 64-bit protected mode. 
    This is independent of the hardware on which the install disk is actually mounted (DVD or USB-flash), so it is NOT a hardware problem
    per se.
    Since the WIM is mounted early in the process, Boot Manager may well have loaded it using BIOS routines to access the physical device on which it resides rather than loading 32-bit or 64-bit drivers of its own. 
    Hence, if the BIOS does not “mount” the WIM in a way that is later fully compatible with access from the 64-bit systems being loaded, it could cause apparent file corruption. 
    If it is only partially incompatible some functionality may appear quite usable (like loading files) until later detected. 
    This is vague on my part, because the exact nature of the incompatibility cannot be readily determined from the information available. 
    But the consequence is the same: the system cannot boot from the install disk, either for initial installation or repairs.
    Incidental conclusion:  The 64-bit boot manager code for Windows Server 2008 does not exhibit this faulty behavior, but the 64-bit code for Windows Server 2012 does. 
    So the problem is not inherent with loading 64-bit server OS’s.
    Expectations:  If the system were to be upgraded using the features of the install disk while running an installed OS, say Windows Server 2008 R2, it might well succeed and yield a fully functional system upgraded to Windows Server 2012
    R2 (because the installed operating system is started from discrete files, not from a WIM file). 
    However, in order to perform a disaster recovery using Windows resources (such as image backups from Windows Server Backup), one would have to presumably boot from a Windows Server 2012 64-bit install disk or Windows Server USB recovery drive. 
    Of course we know that the Windows Server install disk will not boot and we can be fairly sure that the problem will migrate to any Windows Server USB recovery drive that is created. 
    My inspection of a Windows 7 System Repair CD shows that is based exclusively on boot.wim, not discrete files! 
    Of course a generated image for a WIM for Windows 2012 USB recovery drive
    might not have the flaw that drives this behavior, but it probably would.
    Problem conclusion:  A BIOS upgrade would be required for compatibility with Windows Server 2014 clean installation
    and any maintenance; and none is available from the OEM.
    Problem not resolved, but understood for future reference.
    Thanks to Tim whose comments helped me focus my thinking.

  • Can't upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

    Even though the "Windows Server Installation and Upgrade" TechNet article (DN627667) claims that I can upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, it seems I can't. I get an error message saying "Windows 2008
    R2 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (Server Core Installation). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows..." What might be causing this issue? Thanks for any input! :)

    Hi,
    Firstly, for retail versions, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1 can be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter.
    I assume you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 retail version, right?
    In addition, it seems that in earlier version than Windows Server 2012,
    once you install the server in Core or with GUI mode, you could not switch to the other. The only option was to rebuild the server from scratch.
    Did you install Windows Server 2008 R2 in GUI? If yes, I recommend you to upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2 in GUI
    mode to see if the issue persists. If it succeed and you want to run in server core, you can just remove the graphical shell and convert your Windows Server 2012 R2 to Server Core.
    Best regards,
    Susie
    Thanks for replying Susie. The 2008 R2 software is the one provided by Microsoft for Action Pack subscribers, so I'm assuming it's not retail. That's another thing, I think I should be installing the GUI as my 2008 has a GUI, not just the server core. For some
    reason I missed that and clicked on the server core only install!

  • Install Windows Server 2012 R2 VM on Storage Spaces with Storage Tiers

    Hey guys
    In my small/medium sized company we will soon update to Windows Server 2012 R2. I would like to implement virtual servers using Hyper-V. I didn't find a lot of information about Hyper-V in combination with storages spaces and autoamted storage tiers.
    And this is very confusing to me as it seems to me that this would be the best practice as it is the most cost-efficient and most elegant solution.
    My ideal scenario:
    With Hyper-V I virtualize two Windows Server 2012 R2 instances. So two separate virtual machines.
    I use the following disk setup:
    1x cheap HDD  40GB for hyper-v server 2012 r2 core.
    2x SSD 200GB (enterprise-grade)
    2x HDD 4TB (7.2k, enterprise-grade)
    Step 1:
    I will install Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 Core on the 40GB HDD. Via command line, I will create a storage pool with automated tiered storage using the SSDs and the HDDs in mirrored mode the following way:
    With Tiered Storage, I create a storage pool containing the SSDs and the HDDs. Then I create storage space A (1TB) and B (3.2TB) with the SSDs in a mirrored setup and the HDDs in a mirrored setup. The SSDs for the „hot files“ and the HDDs for the „cold files“.
    Step2:
    Ontop of the storage space A I want to install the first Windows Server 2012 R2 instance with Active directory. On storage space B I want to install the second Windows Server 2012 R2 instance for a business application to run on it.
    Conclusion:
    The SSDs are mirrored and therefore one SSD can fail.
    The 4TB HDDs are mirrored and therefore one HDD can fail.
    I have a fast and easy scalable environment.
    But in the Internet I found many information that it’s not possible to install an operating system onto a storage tier.
    Question 1:
    Is this setup possible?
    Question 2:
    If this setup is possible, why is not everyone doing it?
    Question 3:
    Is it possible to do Step 1 over a GUI from a remote machine?
    Question 4:
    If the creation of Storage Tiers in the Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 is not possible. Would it work to use a Windows Server 2012 R2 as a parent system on the 40GB HDD? To do Step 1?
    I would gladly get some feedback of people knowing Storage Tiers well.
    Thanks a lot!

    I would absolutely prefer a GUI. But a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Licence allows you to run two VM machines.
    It also grants you a physical installation ("POSE" in the licensing documents). You can buy one copy of WS2012R2 Standard, install it on the hardware, enable Hyper-V, and then operate two virtual machines with WS2012R2 Standard ("VOSE"
    in the licensing documents). The only restriction is that the management operating system (POSE) can only run services and applications meant to manage the virtual machines and/or the management operating system. The Hyper-V Server license is the same way
    so it's not really any different.
    In short, given the benefits of the GUI at your stage of learning, you have no solid reason not to install the full system and take advantage of it. You can disable the GUI later once you get your footing. Or not. Whatever suits you. However, in response
    to your Question 3, you can do this all remotely. Once you get WS2012R2 installed in a guest, you can use it to manage the management operating system if you want. There are many options.
    But then I would also need to have redundancy on the 40GB HDD as if this HDD brakes, all others brake as well?
    Yes, you're going to want some redundancy for the management operating system. But, you've listed 5 drives in your original layout. You don't really have a 5-bay system, do you? Is there an empty sixth bay? Could you not get two 40 GB drives instead of one
    and use hardware RAID-1?

  • Installing Windows Server 2012 on W510

    I realize this is not likely to be a common scenario, nor a supported one. I'm installing Windows Server 2012 (Evaluation edition) on a w510 to use as a learning lab. In case anyone else decides to head down this road I've documented what I've run into so far.
    System: Thinkpad W510 43192NU 
    Upgrades: 16GB RAM, Crucial M4 256GB SSD.
    The basic install happened quickly and easily, but as expected there are a couple of driver issues.
    Installed Windows Server 2012 Standard 180-day EVAL from DVD (ISO obtained from Technet 10/15/2012)
    Installed available Windows Updates (only 2 as of October 25, 2012)
    Installed Lenovo nVidia discrete video driver for W510 Windows 8 64bit
    (getting braver here)
    Installed Thinkvantage System Update 5.0 for Windows 8 64bit
    Ran System Update and it found 3 available items:
    Intel Management Engine Interface 6.2 and Serial Over LAN (SOL) driver downloaded and installed
    Audio Driver for Windows 8 32/864 <--SIC Downloaded and installed
    ThinkVantage Active Protection System (64bit) <-- did not download / unsuccessful
    At this point there are also 3 items still listed under "Other Items" in device manager:
    Looked up device IDs in Properties, ran through driveridentifier.com:

    At this point I have it where I need it to be. All I want to do is have a stable basic install so I can install Hyper-V and play around with a bunch of VMs. For that I don't really need Bluetooth or enhance power management.

    Have you found a solution to the driver issues I mentioned?
    I had no issue installing the Windows 7 x64 power management driver and Power Manager.  Just keep in mind it is only for control of the CPU clock speed and a few other settings.  With Hyper-V installed, you lose sleep/hibernate and resume.
    Bluetooth won't work
    I never had a use for multcard.
    With Windows Server 2012 be happy you have networking and a video driver which are the core things you need.  If you want a full on workstation, move to Windows 8 Pro and Hyper-V.

    how to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

    Use guide below to convert it to 'basic' disk, or install windows on another drive. The supported way is to delete all partitions and convert it to a basic disk.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755238.aspx
    However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.

  • Installing Windows Server 2012 in Order to Use SharePoint Server and Develop in VS2012

    Hi.
    I need to install SharePoint Server so that I can work with SP Designer and have full options for development using VS2012.  Apparently, I also need to Install Windows Server 2012.  I would like to install and configure WS2012 in a virtual environment
    using the Hyper-V tools that come with Windows 8 Pro.  I'm a newbie when it comes to WS2012, and want to make sure I don't end up reformatting my Windows 8 hard drive or causing a similar event that would put me in a rubber room. 
    I downloaded the WS2012 image file, but am unsure how to proceed.  Can anyone give me some help as to how to get started?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If you have enabled the Hyper-V role on Windows 8 then you can create Windows Server 2012 VM's.  As Server 2012 has the Hyper-V tools build in by default there is no need to install them.
    So enable the Hyper-V role on Windows, Create a new VM in Hyper-V management console and connect the cd/dvd drive in the VM properties to the Windows Server 2012 setup ISO file. Start the VM and the Server 2012 setup. (during creating a VM you can also
    connect the cd/dvd drive to an ISO file)
    You might want to give to the Server 2012 VM 2 vCPU's and 2GB+ memory for performance. Also have a look the memory specs for VS2012 to see how much memory you should give to the VM.

  • Network Connection error when Trying to Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    Thank you to anyone who can help me out here. I have a brand new machine with known working wifi and wired ethernet adapters (works under Windows 8.1) I am attempting to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2. During the install process, the system connects
    to the internet to download updates to help along the install. No problem here. Further down the road after restarting several times and now during the "Configuring Windows Server Essentials" step of the install, I am told "There is no network
    connection. Please fix the connection issue and try again."
    When troubleshooting the connection, I am told that the wifi adapter drivers may not be installed. I have a wireless card in the machine and have also tried disabling the wifi adapter and have been connected successfully via the ethernet port this whole
    time.
    Help, I'm stuck and have been to this point in the install 4-5 times already.
    Thank you.

    Is this a laptop?  Can you remove the wifi? Disable it in BIOS?
    Does the wifi have an IP and internet when it throws the error?
    BTW, when the wizard ask about updates say no.  Takes way too long and does not help anything
    Change the binding order and put the wired on top.
    The Steps?
    Just open your Network and Sharing Center. (Change adapter settings)
    Press an ALTkey on your keyboard to show the menu bar.
    Click on the Advancedmenu
    choose Advanced Settings option
    Adjust your binding order for your NICs to ensure your wired ones are at the TOP
