Issue Installing SP2 for Windows Server 2008 SP1

Hello, I have a very annoying issue, and I hope someone can help a bro out.
Server: Windows Server 2008 SP1 64-bit
Issue: SP2 wont install on Windows Server 2008 SP1
This is what I am seeing when I check the event viewer:
1. (Information) Windows Servicing is setting package KB948465(Service Pack) state to Staging(Staging)
2. (Error) Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of changing update 948465-382_neutral_GDR from package KB948465(Service Pack) into Staging(Staging) state
I have no idea why this is coming up, nor why the server cant fix the issue, but now I am forced to deal with it. So if anyone has any helpful tips it would be greatly appreciated.
What I have done so far:
I have downloaded the standalone SP2 file from microsoft, and tried to install, still failed. Just sent me to the prereq page, which is pretty useless considering the fact I already have SP1 installed, and nothing new has changed physically or digitally
in the system.
Also, although not a huge issue, I also have a security update that is failing, basically with the same issue as the SP. Below is its Error event log.
(Error) Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of changing update 974318-11_neutral_LDR from package KB974318(Security Update) into Staging(Staging) state
Im hoping that upon discovering the SP issue, I can resolve the security update issue, as the errors have the same issue(failed to complete staging state).Thank you for your time.
~I will provide any further info if needed.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Milos. Yes I ALWAYS google my issues before going on forums for help. And to no avail. However, below is the relevant info(sorry I did not post this the first time;first time dealing with an issue like this,
so I wasnt for shore what relevant data pertained to this issue):
I also did not copy and paste the entire log in here(obviously) because its huge, however I will post link to full file if requested/needed, but hopefully I grabbed the entire log for my SP2 update failure issue. All I can grab from this log is that the
CBS failed. However, I have no clue where to go after that..

Windows 2008 Standard SP2 inplace upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 failing

Hi All,
I'm encountering an issue with performing an in-place upgrade of Windows Server 2008 SP2 to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Hi,
Generally such kind of issues are caused by third party programs such as CD burning programs, device driver etc.
First please refer to this article to see if there is anything helpful:
Guide for Upgrading to Windows Server 2008 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff972408(v=ws.10).aspx
Meanwhile from the description, it mentioned a file under C:\Windows\winsxs. Check the permission of the folder amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_676975d87cc9b6e6 and the file wcp.dll to see if the permission
and ownership are correct compare with the other folders.
Also as it provided 2 minidump files, you will need to use WinDBG to read the minidump files and see if there is any further information.

Infinite reboot: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1

Windows server has been running without issues up until this weekend: Two updates were installed; KB3020370 April 25 & KB3048761 April 26
From looking at the logs, it seems that the server started its infinite reboot loop April 25th. I want to be able to see what is triggering the windows request to reboot. The two KBs mentioned above show as install successfully; so I don't think they
are the culprit to the infinite reboot. But I am out of thoughts on how to proceed further in troubleshooting this issue.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Robstg

Hi Robstg,
To verify if this issue is caused by these updates, could you boot the server into safe mode then remove the updates from control panel?
Besides, is there any warning or error in the evnet viewer?
Best Regards.

AD Management Gateway Service for Windows Server 2008 SP2

Hey,
I'm having the same issue as in this thread.

And trying to follow the 5 step procedure listed in the 3rd post, but am stuck on step 5, getting the hotfix from Microsoft. The link posted from the Hotfix page is just a generic Microsoft Support page. Which is not helpful. How do I actually contact them
(phone # or email address) to get the software?
Thanks In Advance,

No luck. I've tried the chat which asks which Windows version Im using and there's no Server 2008 only desktop versions. I called and after talking with 3 people I got cut off. There has to be an easier way to get a simple file downloaded.
You can hire me to do it for you. I am always successful at contacting MS Support.
You didn't follow the instructions I posted.

Required weblogic 10.3.5 instllable for windows server 2008(64bit)

Hi,
I have been trying to find the weblogic server(10.3.5), CO(13.4), BO(13.4) and POS(13.4) installable for Windows server 2008(64bit) but am unable to find them in e-delivery or anywhere else on Oracle website.
Can anyone please provide me the link for these software downloads.
Thanks.

Hi
On this below link, look for older versions of Weblogic Server which is at the bottom of the page. Expand for WLS 10.3.5. You need Weblogic Server + Coherence package installer. Download the generic jar installer.

Require list of all events for Windows Server 2008 Active Directory

Hi all,
I require list of all events for Windows Server 2008 Active Directory. Event Log name for Active Directory log is "Directory Service".
Regards,
SR

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
Do you mean you want to list all Active Directory logs into one file named “Directory Services”?
If that, it’s hard to achieve. There are kinds of Active Directory logs stored in different locations and they have different file formats. It’s hard
to collect them into one file.
Active directory records events in the directory services log in Event Viewer. By default, Active Directory records only critical error events. To instruct Active
Directory to record other events in the directory services log, we need to modify registry.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:
Active Directory Diagnostic Logging

Does XI 3.1 SP2 support Windows Server 2008 Release 2?

In the supported platforms guide for Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 it lists support for Windows Server 2008 but I'm curious if it will support 2008 Release 2???

2012 R2 is not mentioned (that article is over two years old),
Would be kinda hard to mention a non-existent operating system in a 2 year old blog post, eh?
Maybe the Blog entry could be updated?
There's no need to update the blog post once you understand the specifics of the update. The update introduces NEW functionality required for ALL operating systems from Windows 8 forward.
Also, maybe you shouldn't be so literal in your search efforts? :-) Think outside the box a bit, eh? Understand *why* the update was created. What does the update do that makes WSUS v3 work for Win8/WS2012. Is there some reason that wouldn't work for subsequent
operating systems? You didn't have the update anyway, did it never cross your mind.. "Hey.. maybe I should do this... anyway?"
Nevermind the hundreds of conversations in this forum about KB2734608 and the dozens of times Win8.1 or WS2012R2 is mentioned in those conversations.

Do we need CALS for windows server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 if 2008 R2 is just a stepping stone?

We currently have a server on Windows Server 2008 RC SP2 64-bit with approximately 20 clients.
We want to upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 but first need to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 to allow us to do a straight upgrade.
Is it possible to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 with the 5 CAL's included and then upgradeto 2012 R2 and install 20 new CAL's and keep all users accounts and domain PC's the same?

Ok sorry for using the wrong terminology... I was under the impression for each client (Computer) connecting to the server we will need a CAL (Client Activation License) in order for the computer to be a domain PC on the server. Do I need 20 CALS's
for Windows Server 2008 R2 and then another for Windows Server 2012 R2 if we are only upgrading to 2008 R2 to be able to upgrade to 2012 R2 without having to do a clean install.
For WindowsServer (Standard edition or Enterprise edition or DataCenter edition), a Client Access License (CAL) is required for each device (if you're using the per-Device CAL licensing method), or, is required for each user (if you're using the per-User
CAL licensing method).
(whether you use per-Device, or per-User, is up to you, it comes down to cost).
CALs are version-specific (to a point) - i.e. if you purchased WS2008 CALs for your 20 devices, for use with your WS2008 server, and you are now upgrading that server to WS2012, you need to upgrade your CALs.
If you are adding a second server which is WS2012, and you are keeping your WS2008 server, you need to upgrade your CALs (because you only purchased WS2008 CALs which don't grant you the rights to connect to the newer server).
If you were to install your second server as WS2008, you wouldn't need to purchase additional CALs, because as long as the version is the same, a single CAL grant you access to unlimited server (of the same version).
CALs can be tricky to correctly license.
Here's some introductory reading:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx#tab=1
And, none of this relates to the technical aspects of product installation/configuration at all (e.g. clean install vs. upgrade).
Windows Server CALs are not license keys/tokens/files which you install/load/download - Windows Server CALs are quite literally paper-based (just like a drivers license or car registration). You are required to have them, to be correctly licensed, but, you
don't physically do anything with them to own/drive a car.

Management Pack for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP1

Hello,
I tried to manage the performance of a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP1 (6.0.6001) but SCOM 2007 R2 just check the availability with a ping status.
I have installed the normal management packs:
On the same SCOM, I have servers with Windows Server 2008 R2 and they work perfect.
What can I do?

Hi Journey Tinoco,
Performance can be monitored by using the active alerts TAB where a alert / alerts will be triggered based on the default management pack which you have installed / imported or if you have created a custom monitor based on your preference on what performance
counter you want to monitor on windows server 2008 servers VIA SCOM.
Or you can pull server performance report specific for Windows server 2008 from the reporting TAB as per the below screen shot for details.
The one which you are opened is the health explorer view which is not showing much details.
Go to reporting TAB ===> Select Windows server 2008 operating system monitoring and then What ever appropriate report you need to pull based on your requirement. For example i have pulled a report below for "Operating system performance.
Over here Click object and select the computer name and the icon should be a Windows serve / Computer as per the icon in my screen shot below. Select the time and date from and to the report you want and dont touch the add object option. Once done click
the Run button on the left to you will get the report as below.
Please note: If the below report is what you are looking for is not available in your SCOM's reporting TAB. Then you have not installed the reporting Management pack for Windows server 2008 monitoring. Download
it from the below link.

Hope this helps you.

Microsoft support for Windows Server 2008 R2 on vSphere 5.5

Hi, everybody.
I'm checking if Microsoft will provide support for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on a VM on vSphere 5.5 Update 2. So far what I've found at
http://windowsservercatalog.com is:
Filtering vendor VMware and Windows Server 2008 R2, it shows vSphere up to version 5.0 update 1
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/results.aspx?&chtext=&cstext=&csttext=&chbtext=&bCatID=1521&cpID=2274&avc=34&ava=0&avq=0&OR=1&PGS=25&ready=0
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/item.aspx?idItem=c92e5cbd-9690-b62a-2ace-843390ac3ea4&bCatID=1521
Filtering vendor VMware it shows vSphere 5.5 update 2, but details only Windows Server 2012, not Windows Server 2008 R2.
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/results.aspx?&chtext=&cstext=&csttext=&chbtext=&bCatID=1521&cpID=2274&avc=0&ava=0&avq=0&OR=1&PGS=25&ready=0&PG=2
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/item.aspx?idItem=ef39c5b2-2f5b-5b73-08e2-c07fecdadcff&bCatID=1521
Does that mean Microsoft doesn't support Windows 2008 R2 on vSphere 5.5 update 2?
I'm aware Windows Server 2008 R2 lifecycle is close to EOL, but customer requires this specific version for application compatibility.
Thanks

Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2

Dears in Microsoft,
We need to have Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 64bit to be installed and due to the fact it is no more available in Microsoft.
I am going to order Windows 2012 with 16 CAL in order to downgrade it to Windows 2008 Standard SP2 64bit. My question is:
1. Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2?
2. what else required in terms of product key, media, license...etc?
Appreciate your kind supports.
thanks and best regards

Any licensing questions are always best addressed by a trained Microsoft licensing specialist. You can find whom to call by looking at www.microsoft.com/licensing.
One of the built-in rights of a Windows Server license is the right to run earlier versions of the operating system. So if you purchase either Standard or Datacenter, you can run 2008 Standard.
However, that does not provide the media or activation codes for earlier versions of the operating sytem. You have to obtain those via other channels. You should most likely contact a Microsoft reseller and talk to them. They will
most likely have a trained licensing specialist on hand to help answer your questions, and they should also be able to provide media for earlier distributions (for a slight fee).

SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 sp2 on windows server 2008 r2

Hi SAP,
I'm planing to install SAP businessobjects 4.0. There is some thing not clear related to the version of the Operating system.
In the pam documentation released on July 28, 2011 there is written that :
BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 SP2,RTM is available for Windows Server 2008 x64 instead for Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 is available only BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 RTM .
If I go to the download center I can found only the following CD:
51041015_1      SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 SERVER WINDOWS (64B) 1 of 4
51041015_2      SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 SERVER WINDOWS (64B) 2 of 4
51041015_3      SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 SERVER WINDOWS (64B) 3 of 4
51041015_4      SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 SERVER WINDOWS (64B) 4 of 4
There is no information related to RTM version.
Is it possible to use Windows Server 2008 x64 r2 for SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.0 SP02 ?
Thank you for your help

Hi Sebastian,
Thank you for your answer. As you can see in the presentation available on
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/10ccbdf2-139f-2e10-61a0-d4af67b6257b&overridelayout=true
at page 3 only SAP BusinessObjects Server 4.0 RTM is available for windows server 2008 r2 instead for windows server 2008 r2 there is written explicitly that the versions available are   SAP BusinessObjects Server SP02 and RTM.
Do I understand well?
Has someone already Installed SAP BusinessObjects Server 4.0 sp 02 on windows server 2008 r2?
Thanks in advance for collaboration.
