Extending a Partition on Server 2012

I am looking to extend my E partition with the 68GB of unallocated space. The extend volume option is greyed out and I am unsure how to modify the sizes.

  • Error: Invalid Parameter when trying to extend volume in Windows Server 2012

    From VMware, I added space to a Hard Drive to a Windows Server 2012 VM.  I then went into the WinServer console, and opened Disk Management.  I did a rescan on the disk.  It found the extra space.  I right mouse click on the Disk,
    and choose Extend Volume, choose the available space, and then an error returned of 'Invalid Parameter'.
    In Disk Manager, the new larger space is assigned, but Windows Explorer and everything else only recognizes the original smaller size.  
    EventManager shows Event ID 265: A pointer device did not report a valid unit of angular measurement.  Event ID 257: A pointer device reported a bad angular physical range. Event ID 258: A pointer device reported a bad angular logical range.
    Anyone have a solution for this problem?

    Hi,
    Please try to use the command line utility diskpart to extend the drive.
    1. Open a command prompt
    2. Type in diskpart
    3. Type list volume
    4. Type select volume #  
    5. Type extend [size=n] [disk=n]
    For more detailed information about diskpart, please see:

  • Adding second domain controller in Windows server 2012 R2

    Hello, our primary domain controller is currently on a machine that has Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. We are planning to setup a second domain controller as a failover to our primary domain controller. My question is, can we have a secondary domain
    controller on a Windows Server 2012 R2 even if our primary domain controller is on a machine that has Windows Server 2008 R2?

    I think I found the answer to my question.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464018(v=ws.10).aspx
    "In Windows Server 2012, Adprep.exe is integrated into the AD DS installation process and runs automatically as needed. For example, when you install the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012 into an existing domain and forest, then adprep
    /forestprep and adprep /domainprep automatically run and report the results of the operations.
    Some organizations may prefer to run Adprep.exe separately in advance of an AD DS installation. For this reason, Adprep.exe is also included in the \Support\Adprep folder of the operating system disk.
    In Windows Server 2012, there is only one 64-bit version of Adprep.exe. It can be run remotely from any server that runs a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012. The computer where you run it can be either
    domain-joined or in a workgroup.
    The version of Adprep.exe in Windows Server 2012 includes new syntax and parameter options in order to run it remotely. For more information, see
    Adprep."

  • Boot up of Windows Server 2012 Essentials seems slow (extended Please Wait screen) and there are errors in Health Report

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I have been experimenting with the evaluation version of WS2012e trying to get the installation and subsequent build into an optimal set up, and once I have everything I want it to do mapped out, I'll set it up with the full version with using the key that
    I bought.
    However, I've noticed that the server seems to experience a delay during cold boot - it sits with a Please Wait screen for about 60-90 seconds before it presents the screen with an option to Log on.  I have also discovered from running Health
    Report, that there are some entries in the event logs which appear to coincide with start up times, and which seem to be interconnected to each other in the issues they are describing, and I have copied an example of one of those health reports below. 
    I assume that everything sorts itself out in due course, because the events say the process will be re-attempted and these errors don't repeat again after the system has booted up.  I also have the server set to suspend when not in use with the Lights
    Out add in, so it shouldn't need to cold boot often - but I wondered if there's a way to correct these errors so that they don't hold up the boot up process?  I'm also concerned that these errors will cause me later problems with storage pools and
    the like at a later date - the disk replication one seems particularly worrying.  Alternatively, are these errors just a normal part of the start up process - the timing of when different processes start relative to each other - and can be safely ignored?
    In trying to understand what the events describe, I thought that WE2012e acted as its own Domain Controller, and yet it seems from the event log entries that it is waiting for another server to respond to AD / DC requests (but there isn't another server
    on my home network).  The other thing I remember from when I first tried out WS2012e, is that it took control of DHCP or DNS from the router, and I found that frustrating when waking up my laptop and it wouldn't connect to the internet until the server
    had fully booted up and re-asserted its network settings.  Is this another symptom of the same problem?  I remember seeing a posting at the SBS Diva's site about how to update the server so that it gave connected PCs a backup option for connecting
    to the internet when the server wasn't available, and was going to try to find that again to see if that helped.
    By way of background - there isn't another server in my home network.  This is an attempt to do a clean install onto the same hardware that I ran the initial trial of WS2012e, now that the trial has expired, so I'm not trying to migrate from an existing
    server.  I moved all the data on the trial server off onto an external disk, with the intention of importing it back once I had the Storage Pools set up the way I wanted on the new build, and since I didn't want to keep anything else about the server
    trial.  Am I correct in thinking that I don't need to go down the Migration route during installation, and can go through a Clean install in this circumstance? 
    I'm running on an Asus P8-H77-i motherboard, with an i5-3470s CPU and 16MB RAM, and I have WS2012e installed on 256Mb SSD formatted under GPT with uEFI boot - the latter being the main reason for the reinstall, instead of just giving the Evaluation
    version the new key on the original MBR set up.  I've also enabled Intel Rapid Storage and Rapid Start - and successfully set aside the hibernate partition on the SSD - but discovered that this is about forcing a hibernate after suspend, allowing
    the system to power down until its needed again, and then resuming from hibernate on the SSD rather than cold boot each time.  That seems to work, but doesn't improve the cold boot times at all, which was what I was hoping for - ideally the way my
    laptop will boot from cold in a few seconds into Windows 8. 
    Yours faithfully,
    Avon

    The security of this directory server can be significantly enhanced by configuring the server to reject SASL (Negotiate,
    Kerberos, NTLM, or Digest) LDAP binds that do not request signing (integrity verification) and LDAP simple binds that
    are performed on a cleartext (non-SSL/TLS-encrypted) connection.  Even if no clients are using such binds,
    configuring the server to reject them will improve the security of this server.
    Some clients may currently be relying on unsigned SASL binds or LDAP simple binds over a non-SSL/TLS connection,
    and will stop working if this configuration change is made.  To assist in identifying these clients, if such binds occur this
    directory server will log a summary event once every 24 hours indicating how many such binds
    occurred.  You are encouraged to configure those clients to not use such binds.  Once no such events are observed
    for an extended period, it is recommended that you configure the server to reject such binds.
    For more details and information on how to make this configuration change to the server, please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87923.
    You can enable additional logging to log an event each time a client makes such a bind, including
    information on which client made the bind.  To do so, please raise the setting for the "LDAP Interface Events" event logging category
    to level 2 or higher.

    Hi KerguelanAvon,
    Based on your description, it seems to be hard to narrow down the cause of this issue. Please refer to following operations and monitor the result. It may help us to go further, and then solve this issue.
    1. Please refer to the following article and troubleshoot slow boot.
    New Slow Logon, Slow Boot Troubleshooting Content
    2. On your server 2012 essentials, please start a BPA scan and fix all that it can find, then monitor the result.
    Regarding to those critical Errors in Health Report, please perform
    Dcdiag on the server. Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and troubleshoot network connectivity, firewall setting and AD DS issue.

    Hi Justin,
    I'm reading through the links you referred me to but it's taking a while.  In the meantime I tried running BPA as you suggested.  I'm sure when I ran it before, it didn't say much beyond 81 checks completed, and I couldn't find a way to get any
    more detail.
    Now it says
    Problem:
    The DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.
    Impact:
    If the DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server, DNS name resolution can fail.
    Resolution:
    To resolve this problem:
    1. From the client computer, open the Properties page for the network connection.
    2. Make sure that DNS is configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.

  • Task Sequence Windows Server 2012 format and partition issue when using MDT2012

    Hi all,
    Currently I'm working on a task sequence to deploy a Windows Server 2012 image. We've integrated MDT2012 Update 1 in SCCM2012 SP1 and created a default 'Server Task Sequence'. This task sequence deploys the install.wim to a server which has multiple disks
    attached.
    We've configured multiple format and partition disk steps to create the following partition layout:
    Disk 0: 499MB BDEDrive (do not assign drive letter) + 40GB OSDisk
    Disk 1: 40GB Programs
    Disk 2: 40GB Data
    Disk 3: 25GB User
    When the task sequence is finished I've noticed the drive letters assigned to the disk are not correct. In some cases the BDEdrive gets drive letter D assigned, sometimes drive letters are assigned starting with E, thus skipping drive
    letter D. 
    The smsts.log files show an error when it's re-assigning drive letters after booting into Windows. Looks like an error in the DiskPartScript.txt.

    I've solved this by replacing the first 'Format and Partition Disk' step by an Powershell command which formats and partitions the disk. 
    Anyone seen this behavior?

    I have a similar problem when I install windows on some clients. Have you found any explanation for the behavior?

  • Access 2007 ADP to SQL Server 2012 with extended protection

    Hello,
    I have a Access 2007 ADP client connecting to an sql server 2012. This works fine with standard security configuration, but when I activate extended protection on the SQL server, the Access client cannot connect to the server. I am using integrated security
    with a domain user and get the error message
    "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication."
    In sql server logfile I find:
    "SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x80090346, state 46 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: The Channel Bindings from this client are missing or do not match the established Transport
    Layer Security (TLS) Channel".
    Is there any "easy" solution other than developing a new client based on an up to date Office version or Dot.Net?
    Regards,
      charles-f

    Well, I have no problem connecting to the sql server from my pc using ssms with my domain account. I have also sucessfully create a odbc connection using the "SQL Server Native Client 11.0" driver and my domain account. My account is in a trusted
    domain, so this seems not to be the problem. 
    To me it rather looks like if Access is using an old driver which does not support the tls encryption required by the extended protection settings.

  • Windows Server 2012 OS Partition Size recommendations

    i might be wrong but i have always tried to keep the size of the OS partition to match a common physical HDD size ie 125GB, taking into consideration the Windows update patches and apps versions update. 

    Greetings. This is my first post, so please be kind.
    The Storage Admin at my new job has defined Windows Server 2012 installs to have a 40 GB OS Partition. To me, this seems extraordinarily small. I know MIcrosoft's minimum is 32 GB.
    Most of the servers I will be deploying will not have the applications on the OS partition, but I believe the page file will be on the OS partition.
    Since most of these servers will also have 8 GB or more of RAM, what would be a good recommended size for the OS Partition?
    Also, if someone could link me to articles written by technology leaders talking about this issue, I would appreciate it.

  • Windows Server 2012 Essentails - Can I get an extended trial for 10 days or so (really need this)

    Greetings all, I'm currently running a trial version of Windows Server 2012 Essentials, and am very happy with this so moved all pcs and laptops over, reason in doing so was going to go to the full version from this trial, but then I thought about trialing
    out 2012 R2 Essentials and have been running this with no issues and would rather spend the money on buying this version.
    I have 2 days left of the trial license for 2012 Essentials,  is there anyway I can extend this for an extra 10 days or so to give me enough time to finish of building the other server ?
    Thanks..

    Thank you Klockwork, well that's not very helpful of Microsoft :-(
    Not sure why though they did allow you to extend with Server 2008..
    Anyway I'll
    find away.
    Thanks

  • Disappearing disk space Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise

    I've got an interesting problem with a virtual machine in our VMWare environment.  It is Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise installed.  I started out with a 60GB disk and it started running out of space, so I increased
    it in VMWare and extended the partition to 100GB.  Well, that lasted for a bit and so I extended it again.  I've done this 3 or 4 times and now I've got a 160GB disk with about 2-3GB of space remaining (and it started with 10GB remaining). 
    WinDirStat shows 105GB of <Unknown> space being used, which is probably my issue.  However, I can't determine what this is and it keeps growing like a tapeworm.  The context menu on the <Unknown> files has all the options disabled,
    so WinDirStat doesn't appear to have access to whatever the file(s) is/are.  I've performed several chkdsk /f on the C: drive and nothing bad is reported.  I don't have any restore points and am not running VSS (that I'm aware of).  The pagefile
    reports as being about 4.9GB, so that's not the issue.  No large files are shown anywhere and my explorer settings are set to show me all files, including system files.
    When I try to run WinDirStat with elevated permissions, it hangs and becomes unresponsive. 
    I've even resorted to running CCleaner to see if it found anything, but it simply found the standard temp files and such...about 1GB. 
    I'm pulling my hair out...and I don't have much to start with.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    It appears that somehow, Microsoft Fusion Assembly binding logging was turned on and many of the temp folders located at c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\InetCache\IE were filling up with hundreds of thousands of Fusion HTM log files. 
    This is controlled by an entry in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog which was set to 1.  Hopefully, setting it back to zero will fix the issue.  As a result of figuring this out, I have recovered almost 80GB of disk
    space occupied by the log files.
    I thought WinDirStat would show me what I needed to know, but it turns out TreeSize (which I've used in the past) works much better.

  • 0x8056530b error enabling disk deduplication on Windows Server 2012 R2 Volume - any ideas why or how to fix?

    I'm getting the following error when trying to enable disk de-duplication on a volume on my Windows 2012 R2 file server.  The error is:
    "There was an error updating Data Deduplication on volume: MSFT_DedupVolume.Volume='\\?\Volume{8dfc4322-9997-11e3-93f5-005056a84b9b}\' - HRESULT 0x8056530b, The specified volume type is not supported. Deduplication is supported on fixed, write-enabled
    NTFS data volumes and CSV backed by NTFS data volumes."
    The volume in question is a 1TB VMFS volume mounted to the virtual machine that is the Windows file server.  I could find no info anywhere that references this error as it relates to a standard mounted volume or VMware or VMFS. 
    Any ideas on what could be the problem or how to fix it?  I could find nothing in the log files other than an entry which is basically a repeat of the error above.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    - ADEHART
    P.S. This is a volume that was previously mounted on an older Windows 2003 server.  Not sure if that may make a difference.

    have you compared this issue to the ones that are successful and compared what is different?
    Have you made sure of the following:
    Servers
    See the following list for server requirements for deduplication:
    • Server hardware should meet the minimum requirements for running Windows Server 2012. The deduplication feature was designed to support minimal configurations such as a single processor system with 4 GB of RAM and one SATA hard disk drive.
    • If you plan to support deduplication on multiple volumes on the same server, you need to plan an appropriately size for the system to ensure that it can process the data. The general rule is that the server needs 1 CPU-core and 350 MB of free memory to run a deduplication job on a single volume, and that job can process about 100 GB per hour or around 2 TB per day. Deduplication scales with additional CPU core processors and available memory to enable parallel processing of multiple volumes.
    For example: If you have a server with 16 CPU core processors and 16 GB of memory, deduplication uses 25% of the system memory in the default Background Processing mode, and in this case, that would be 4 GB. If you divide by 350 MB, you can calculate that the server could process about 11 volumes at a time. If you add 8 GB of memory, the system could process 17 volumes at a time. If you set an optimization job to run in Throughput mode, the system will use up to 50% of the system’s memory for the optimization job.
    • Data Deduplication supports up to 90 volumes at a time; however, deduplication can simultaneously process one volume per physical CPU core processor plus one. Hyper-threading does not impact this because only physical core processors can be used to process a volume. A system with 16 CPU core processors and 90 volumes will process 17 volumes at a time until all 90 volumes are done, if there is sufficient memory.
    • Virtual server instances should follow the same guidance as physical hardware regarding server resources.
    Volumes
    Volumes that are candidates for deduplication must conform to the following requirements:
    • Must not be a system or boot volume. Deduplication is not supported on operating system volumes.
    • Can be partitioned as a master boot record (MBR) or a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and must be formatted using the NTFS file system.
    • Can reside on shared storage, such as storage that uses a Fibre Channel or an SAS array, or when an iSCSI SAN and Windows Failover Clustering is fully supported.
    • Do not rely on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs). You can access data if a deduplication-enabled volume is converted to a CSV, but you cannot continue to process files for deduplication.
    • Do not rely on the Microsoft Resilient File System (ReFS).
    • Can’t be larger than 64 TB in size.
    • Must be exposed to the operating system as non-removable drives. Remotely-mapped drives are not supported.
    Note
    Files with extended attributes, encrypted files, files smaller than 32 KB, and reparse point files are not processed by deduplication.

  • Failure to create a shared protection point during Windows Server 2012 R2 backup.

    Several partitions on a system disk have been extended as well as the backup destination partition. After that Windows Server 2012 R2 failed the backup of a system disk with the following error message 0x8004230C. The Server stated it had failed to create
    a shared protection point on source volumes and indicated a problem with volume shadow writer. What needs to be done to fix this error and does it have anything to do with partitions being extended?

    Hi,
    What destination did you use to do the previous unsuccessful backup? You could try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot errors where the cause is reported by an underlying layer to Windows Server Backup.

    Hi
      Looks like the AAA configuration is set for local
    aaa authentication enable console LOCAL
    aaa authentication http console LOCAL
    aaa authentication serial console LOCAL
    aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
    aaa authentication telnet console LOCAL
    Change it to Radius
    aaa-server Keefa-Raduis protocol radius
    aaa-server Keefa-Raduis (NAZCO) host 172.16.200.10
    key *****
    radius-common-pw *****
    for example :
    aaa authentication telnet console Keefa-Raduis LOCAL
    Now when you will do telnet to using Radius credentials, Its Should work, If radius goes down you can use LOCAL username and password as fallback method.
    Cheers!

    2) Verify that hardware-assisted virtualization and hardware-assisted data execution protection are enabled in the BIOS of the physical computer. (If you edit the BIOS to enable either setting, you must turn off the power to the physical computer and then
    turn it back on. Resetting the physical computer is not sufficient.)
    2) If you have made changes to the Boot Configuration Data store, review these changes to ensure that the hypervisor is configured to launch automatically."
    Host (Physical) Hardware: 
    - Supermicro X9SRL-F, BIOS Rev 3.0a (current) with Intel Virtualization enabled and Execute Disable Bit enabled
    supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9SRL-F.cfm
    - Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPU 
    http://ark.intel.com/products/64594/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2620-15M-Cache-2_00-GHz-7_20-GTs-Intel-QPI
    - 96GB ECC DDR3 RAM
    Host Software: 
    - Server 2012 R2 DataCentre with update 1 (clean install)
    - Hyper-V role installed
    All hardware supports virtualization and was previously running VMWare VSphere 5.5 without problem.
    The BIOS settings for Intel Virtualization and Execute Disable Bit are both enabled.
    The server has been physically shutdown and powered off numerous times, but still doesn't work.

    Following pics attached show BIOS settings for CPU and Virtualization / Execute Bit Disable settings:

    I recently ran into this.  The person had made a modification to the System Properties of the Windows operating system.
    System Properties > Advanced > Performance > Settings ...
    On the Performance Options window, select the Data Execution Prevention tab. Ensure Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select is the option selected.  He had the other option selected.  The only way to get it to get it working
    was to change the setting, uninstall Hyper-V, reboot, install Hyper-V, reboot.

  • SharePoint 2013 OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 vs Windows Server 2012 Standard

    Hi Team,
    We are thinking on upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SP 2013 soon. I have been researching about the server OS I should install as host, and it seems that SharePoint 2013 is fully compatible by now with both Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard + SP1 and
    Windows Server 2012 Standard. In my opinion we should go with server 2012, but Windows server 2008 is the norm here at our organization and our Infrastructure team seems reluctant to upgrade servers to 2012 yet.
    My question is, what SharePoint or Windows 2012 features will we miss if we decide to stay on Windows 2008?  What are the perks (selling points) of going with 2012 over 2008? (besides the obvious Microsoft support range extension).
    Thanks!
    -Rob.

    If you stay on Windows Server 2008 R2 you will enter the extended/out of support phase sooner, of course. You will miss out on IIS improvements, although in practical terms it may not mean much.
    There are extra patches required for a 2008 R2 deployment that are not needed on 2012 for SharePoint 2013. But other than that, I think the other big issue is that mostly in the community, you'll find people running Server 2012 which means issues are better
    'known' by the community, versus 2008 R2 in combination with SharePoint 2013.
