Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter with SP1 Activation Failed

I'm new here,
I've got the following problem:
For my study I had to install a Windows server. I Activated this Windows Server and all was good. I configured Windows Server and found out it wasn't configured as I wished and a clean install would be much quicker than a re-configuration... So I did a clean
install, configured it and bumped into the next issue:
My product key isn't valid anymore because it's already in use (my deleted Windows Server). How can I release this product key so I can use it for my new installation? My evalation period is over but I still need to use it. And it's a key provided by my
school via Dreamspark.
Thanks in advance,
Jay

Hi,
Good to hear that and thanks for your feedback.
Have a good day!
Best regards,

Oracle Database XE with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)

I would like to find out if Oracle Database XE works with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)?
If not, is there any other Oracle Open Source Database version can work with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am installing W2k8 R2 Domain Controller with Oracle Express 10g.
This is the tip to make it work.
Go to the installer OracleXE.exe -> Right click + Select Properties + Compatibility + Run this program in Compatibility Mode fot + Windows 2003 Sp1
Then Select Run this Program as administrator.
After this run the OracleXe.exe and it will install properly.
Remember to double check that everything works fine.

CA web enrollment page is not shown in windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter edition

hi friends
on a windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter, i have installed ADCS (including web enrollment), & every thing is ok.
but when i connect to CA web enrollment page to request a certificate for my web server, when i select advanced certificate request, system doesn't show the page which we select which register our name & specification & we select which certificate
template do we want. instead it shows the page
in windows 2008 R2 enterprise edition this problem doesn't exist. also in standalone CA web enrollment page this problem doesn't exist.
any help pleas
thanks in advance

forget about enrollment web pages. With Enterprise CAs you should consider to use Certificates MMC snap-in:

hi thanks.
i am familiar with cert snap-in, but i wanted to know can we restore previous web enrollment page which delivered us the ability of enroll

Installation problem on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter edition 64bit

hi
today, i tried to install the current maxdb 7.8 release on my virtual server with a windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition os. at the first installation, i got an error message something with "rte runtime error". at this point, the installation stopped.
because of this error, i tried to uninstall the failed installation. this was not possible, in the uninstaller, i didn't see any components, so i can't uninstall.
so i tried to delete the files manually: the entries in the start menu, and the application's path under "program files"... first, i need to kill a process named "serv.exe", that creates a tcp daemon under port 7200... after killing it, the deletion of the dir in program files was successful.
this is very very weird, now my server is "contaminated" with an uncomplete uninstallation of maxdb...
why maxdb 7.8 has problems on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition???
thanks for feedbacks!
regards, jan

> no, because i canceled this virtual server - another method to solve this problem. (i have really no time for things like that..!)
If you take the time to give exact error messages then someone will be certainly able to help
> on windows server 2003, there are NO problems.
Windows 2003 != Windows 2008 - they use a different kernel, a different security system (UAC) and other features that may prevent a succesfull installation in the first place.
I installed a MaxDB 7.8 just today on Windows 2008 R2 and it worked fine.

Windows Server 2008 black screen with mouse *PLEASE HELP*

Hello fellow techs,
I have been tearing my hair out for the past 12hrs on this issue.
About 3 weeks ago, one of our clients reported that they were experiencing
issues on the network so one of the staff went into the server room and noticed
the screen was black with only the cursor. As they couldn't reboot, they
decided to hold the power button to power it off. When they powered it back
up, it went passed the windows loading
splash screen, and again the screen is black with
the mouse pointer in the center of the screen.
I am diagnosing the server and find that at the black screen, I’m able to move
the cursor and beyond that nothing happened. I started in safe mode with the
exact same results.
I have been trying many different solutions from posts that I have found in
Google but no change.
From other machines you can type \\servername in
the run box and see the shared folders, as well as ping it.
This is a very urgent request as I need to have the Server back up and running
by tomorrow.
I am quiet willing to pay for phone support with anyone that can assist as soon
as possible. I am happy to transfer founds via Paypal.<o:p></o:p>
PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
I agree with sm, you should give us more details. Also you should use sfc /scannow
command to scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible. For more details, please refer to the following article.
Sfc
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff950779.aspx
Before going further, would you please let me know whether there were any changes on the affected server? Has windows update or any new device been added? Please also check your shadow copies.
The Windows Server black screen may be caused by them.
In addition, there are similar questions, please refer to.

Installing Flash Player 12 on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE 8

I have an app that runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 that requires Flash Player 12. When I try to install Flash Player 12 it says that Windows Server R2 X64 is not supported by way of eliminating it from the list of supported operating systems. When I do a search I can find many people who indicate they have it running or explain "hacks" to get it running. Since the app requires it there is an implimcation that it should be running on this OS. What is the offical word on this? This is a production server and I really don't want an "unsupported hack" running in this environment. Is there a supported means of having Flash Player 12 run on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE8 even if it is within the 32 bit version of the browser?

Server 2008 (x86) is supported, and I had an x64 machine set up last month that had FP12 installed and running in IE and Firefox. 64 bit IE wouldn't run it for some reason, but the 32 bit did. It installed in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash, but I was unable to get the ActiveX plug-in to enable outside of 32 bit IE.
I also set up a Server 2012 machine that DID support the x64 ActiveX, but that's probably not an option for you.
Like you, I'd be leery of "hacks" to get it to run as an x64 pkug-in, as it may have unintended and undesired consequences in other areas.

Error on setup failover cluster with Windows 2008 R2 enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 (also with SP1)

Hi!
The setup process fails with this error:
Configuration error code:
0x1C2074D8@1216@1
Configuration error description: There was an error setting private property 'VirtualServerName' to value 'CLUSTER02' for resource 'SQL Server'. Error: Value does not fall within the expected range.
I have found some hints by google, but nothing really helpfull.
Has anyone had a simular problem when installing SQL server 2008 R2?
All posts I found are about sql server 2008 (no R2!).
The cluster itself is working (storage, network, msdtc, quorum...).
Any hints?

Hi Andreas Plachy,
Please make sure that the Virtual Server Name ‘CLUSTER02’ is unique on the network. In addition, are there any resources named ‘SQL Server’ on the Windows cluster? If that is the case, you may need to rename the related resources to avoid conflicting with
SQL Server, and try again.

How to install IE8 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter?

Hello.
Can anybody tell me, how to install IE8 on 2008 R2 Datacenter?
I've downloaded this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx for "Windows Server 2008 64-bit and more..", removed IE11, IE10, IE9 from installed updates, and runned "dism /online /disable-feature
/featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64".
And nothing helps. I've got a message "Internet Explorer 8 is not supported on this operating system".

you can't "install" IE8 on WS2008R2, nor on Windows7 - because those OS's shipped with IE8.
IE is an OS component, and so when you "upgrade" or "downgrade" IE, you are affecting an OS component.
What this means is that the "IE8" download you are trying to apply, is actually IE8 for WinXP or maybe WinVista.
You can usually "downgrade" Win7 back to IE8, by uninstalling the newer "upgrade" of IE - this causes the OS to automatically attempt to revert to the prior IE version.
This reversion assumes/requires a healthy OS and component store (CBS), including all the pkgmgr file needed to revert to component.
Sometimes, the component store is damaged, or is missing files.
you may need to check the CBS logfiles, and may need to perform SFC /scannow
You may need to use CheckSUR to repair system health.

Oracle 11gR2 installation problem on Windows Server 2008 R2 datacenter

Hi

i
The installation is getting paused at the 8th step of Oracle installation.Neither i am getting any error message nor an entry is recorded in the Oracle inventory log.
It is showing a blank screen after the prerequiste checks are complete.
Request you to help me out in resolving the issue.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi Helios
Thanks for the response. The database is still not created to check in the Alert log .It is still in the phase of pre-requisite checks. I did not go with Silent installation.It is a plain single instance installation.
The installation screen is greyed out with out any message or error.
Please could you share if you have any thoughts on this.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Move from SP1 to Windows Service Pack 2?

Hello,
Our hosting system is:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
or
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
on which we have a Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.3.0
running.
Now our IT is demanding the Windows Service Pack 2 to be installed on the server.
Are there known issues or can this be done (about 30 patches) without any considerations?
Thanks,
Marco

Oracle's general policy is:
Oracle certifies against the specific Microsoft operating system (OS) and, if applicable, service packs (SPs) stated in the Oracle product documentation. Oracle will support the use of our products on any later SP or OS security patch as soon as that SP or patch becomes generally available. Depending upon the severity, quantity, and impact of the SP or patch-related issues found, Oracle may recommend that customers wait until relevant Oracle patches have been released before upgrading to a particular SP or OS patch. Oracle may recommend or discourage the installation of specific SPs or patches if it will significantly affect the operation of Oracle software, either positively or negatively. If such a statement is deemed necessary, then Oracle Development will disseminate this statement in as timely a fashion as possible after the release of the SP or patch.
There are no known issues with ServicePack 2.

Does windows server 2008 internet printingwork with Iphone as I really could do with finiding this out

Thanks

This apparently would be possible if the server is running the HP ePrint Enterprise server. HP has an app that then allows an iOS device to print to it. There may be other, similar services, though I haven't found any. Perhaps someone else will know.
This is the iPad forum, by the way.

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!

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages

Users are unable to access certain websites from either of our RDP session servers (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1).
1.) I have tried machines that are not connected to this server (not thin client or RDP), but are on the same network, they can load up any web page fine with no issues.
2.) On the server I have tried Opera, Chrome, IE and Firefox, all have the same exact problem.
3.) Tried different DNS servers just to be sure, even though it only effects the server and no one else.
Based on these facts I know that it is something wrong with the server, but not tied to a specific brower. In all browsers when you load up a page in question it just sits there with a blank screen trying to load, it never generates any errors.
The Event Viewer is also clean, no errors. So with no errors I have had trouble trying to find a starting place for this. Things I have tried:
1.) ipconfig /flushdns to try and clear out any DNS issues
2.) Changing the DNS servers for the server to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2
3.) Scanning for Viruses and Malware/Spyware
4.) Checking proxy settings on the server
5.) Updating and then removing Adobe Flash (thought it was tied to flash at first). Problem persists even with no flash player installed.
6.) Completed a failed update of .net, no effect
7.) Loading up browsers in debug mode to try and find anything in the site code that I could relate between failed sites. I found nothing I could identify
Of all issues to finally be stumped on this seems like an easy one, but I can't even begin to come up with an idea at this point.
Help is most appreciated, thank you!

Hi,
Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS0 as defined in RFC 2671) allow DNS requestors to advertise the size of their UDP packets and facilitate the transfer of packets larger than
512 octets, the original DNS restriction for UDP packet size (RFC 1035).
But this would cause drop packets because of some DNS servers or hosts don’t support this. This always causes some website inaccessible.
Using Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS0)

Nslookup, can you get the name resolved?
In addition, try use IP address access the website and check the result.
Hope this helps.
