Teaming with Windows 2012 DC (Datacenter Edition) Hyper V Host servers

HI
We are preparing 2 Windows 2012 R2 DC edition servers, each of them has 4 NICs, planning to configure both HV host and guest clustering. One NIC will be used for host / HV management and Host cluster traffic, other 3 NICs will be configured in a
single team. These 3 NICs are connected to 2 differenet switches and our intention is to utilize the full bandwidhth. Teaming is configured as Switch Independent / Dynamic load balancing mode. Is this the right configuration? Also each of the VMs
will configured in different VLANs through VLAN IDs.
Thansk in advance

Hi,
Although we do not recommend this, you can enable domain controllers as a cluster node in Windows Server versions earlier than Windows Server 2012. However, starting with
Windows Server 2012, we no longer support this configuration. We do not support combining the AD DS role and the failover cluster feature in Windows Server 2012.
 At same time we don’t recommend install other role with Hyper-V with on the same server.
Hope this helps.

  • Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

    I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
    researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
    Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
    I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
    sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
    Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
    Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
    I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
    My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
    Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
    install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
    install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

    Hi Caleb CSG,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    I'll feedback a report to Microsoft, and I also recommend you can post this bug in Microsoft connect.

  • Shared VHDX with Windows 2012 R1. Any plans?

    Hi all, i have two servers connected to a SAN through SAS HBA adapters. I have Windows 2012 R1 Std, i want to use the Shared VHDX feuture (introduced with Windows 2012 R2...). Are there any plans to provide this feuture to those poor guys who already bought

    Thank you in advance, George...
    From what I know there are no plans to back-port shared VHDX to plain vanilla Windows Server 2012. Shared VHDX is one of the key selling points to make people upgrade to R2 so it's financially not interesting to MSFT to support new features with non-R2.
    StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

  • Sysvol was not shared\replicating after the DCpromo windows 2012 R2 datacenter

    SYSVOL does not shared\replicating after the DCpromo windows 2012 R2 datacenter, and the partner DC is 2008 R2 Standard.
    both the forest & domain level is Windows2008R2.

    First glance they cannot communicate through RPC, you might need to review the firewalls configuration.
    Some info on this topic:

  • How to Upgrade Service Manager 2012 SP1 with Windows 2008 R2 to SCSM 2012 R2 with Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    We are using Service Manager 2012 SP1 UR2 with Windows 2008 R2.
    I am planning to upgrade Service Manager to R2 with Windows 2012 R2. I found the steps to upgrade SCSM 2012 Sp1 to R2 but need assistance to upgrade with 2012 R2 OS.
    Please suggest how to achieve the above mentioned objective.
    Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

    Virtualization solves this problem handily, by allowing you to create a new server to run the new program on the same hardware. it also solves the related problem of moving off unsupported hardware without changing OS or application. VMware is my personal
    favorite, but Hyper-V, Xen, and VirtualBox all have similar capabilities.
    Compare the cost of work and confidence in success of a upgrade, where any of thousands or millions of uncontrolled settings could cause an issue, to the cost of work and confidence in success of installing a new OS instance and configuring a known state
    for the new environment.
    In short, upgrades should no longer be a thing. there are just too many ways they can go wrong, and it's far too easy to create a new OS with minimal expense and effort.

  • Replace Windows 2003 DC with Windows 2012 R2 Foundation

    Hi
    We are a small office (7 users) that currently have one Windows 2003 Server configured as a domain controller running DNS,DHCP and file services for users. All computers (7) are joined into local domain. All users have mapped drives to 2003 server shares
    and redirected (offline) folders for my-documents configured.
    Due to an old hardware, we decided to buy a new server with Windows 2012 R2 FOUNDATION licence. For our company I thing this will be the best choice, since Foundation has CAL's 'included' in license, and for our requirements will be more than enough.
    Foundation server limit is that server must be the root domain controller in a domain that has no trusts at the root of the forest. My question is how can we 'replace' old server with a new one (what are the steps) ? I'm thinking the following scenario:
    - install server and promote it to a DC with a new local domain name in the new forest
    - copy all data from old server the the new one
    - put all computers out of old domain and put them back into the new domain that is running on 2012 foundation.
    - power off old server 
    Most of the work will be with computers, that need to be reconfigured to a new domain ?
    Is this the right approach, are there any other (better) options ? 
    Just thinking... Is it possible to join 2012 Foundation into existing domain, than transfer all roles from old server to the new one, and at the end demote old server and power it off (I know this is standard approach in Windows Server Standard editions
    Thank you in advance
    Mike

    Hi,
    There is no necessary to create a new domain. we can add the new DC to your current domain, then transfer FSMO, related settings and main service roles to the new DC.
    Reference the link provided by Alceryes to add Windows Server 2012 R2 to your current domain. and then reference link below for
    Active Directory Migration from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 R2:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/04/02/step-by-step-active-directory-migration-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
    Besides, for DHCP migration from 2003 to 2012, you can reference:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/04/29/step-by-step-migration-of-dhcp-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
    For DNS migration, install DNS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2, and configure it as secondary DNS servers to the old DNS servers. Do replication, once completed, change it from secondary to primary. Remove old server and also clear their record in
    new DNS. Checklist: Migrate a DNS Server(also applied for WS 2012 R2), for your reference:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755303.aspx
    It is better to do a test lab and backup related data before migration in your current environment.

  • I can't syn my 2nd gen nano work with Windows XP Media Centre Edition (SP2)

    I recently got a new computer with Windows XP Media Centre Edition (SP2) and a 2nd gen Nano. I have the latest version of itunes but when I plug in the Nano it won't sync.
    The Nano is nowhere to be seen in itunes and shows in My Computer with an exclamation mark over it. The only thing it will do is charge.
    The Nano syncs on my sisters computer which has Windows XP (SP1) and other devices work on the USB ports on my computer.
    Does anyone have a clue what is wrong or what I can do.
    I've had the Nano for nearly four months now and it's driving me mad!!!

    Problem solved:
    I used driver guide to download usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf then placed these files in my i386 folder. Then when I restarted my PC and connected my iPod I selected the i386 folder as the location to search for drivers. After that it recognised my iPod as a storage device and installed it.

  • How to set up an clasic TS-desktop with Windows 2012 (R2)?

    Hi,
    How to set up an clasic TS-desktop with Windows 2012 (R2)?
    Witch Roles and Features do I need, RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker, RD Licensing?
    /SaiTech

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Based on your description provided, I can understand that you want to setup RDS server 2012 R2 and want information how to achieve that. If misunderstood then please correct.
    If yes, then there is different option related to setup. There are 2 option for configuring. 
    1. Role based or Feature based installation
    2. Remote Desktop services installation
    For normal RDS environment, you can use 2nd option and then perform Quick start Deployment where 3 roles can be installed RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host and RD Web access. After this you can also publish RemoteApp and can use. 
    You can refer following article for more information.

  • Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 editi

    Hello, I recently bought a Zune and then found out it wasn't compatible with my OS, XP Pro x64. I installed the software on my laptop, but it was just too troublesome to set everything up and exchange music, videos, etc. between the two machines. So I've decided to return the Zune and get a Zen instead. I'd really like to buy the ZEN 8GB, but it does not state whether or not the x64 edition is supported. The ZEN V Plus states that the software does support the OS, so if I have to get that one, I don't mind. Thanks.

    CRe: Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 edition?H I recently bought a Zen 8GB mp3 player. I have an xp x64 pro OS. As soon as I tried to instal the included software from the CD, a dialogue box appeared stating, "The windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product." I have done everything the technical assistance group has suggested with the samed result including a clean install. I did load it on my 32 bit laptop. It works fine. ONe of the problems I have found is that the correspondance goes to a different person each time and they are not reading the dialogue. I have found a way to make it work (well somewhat) with my 64 bitg machine. Oddly enough thed software for my zen V load on fine but the software is incampatable with the Zen 8GB unit. I think that there are softwarfe problems and CT is not really dealing with them.

  • Teaming options with Windows 2012 R2 Host for HV Guests

    Hi
    We are configuring Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers for Win 2008 / Win 2012 Guest servers. We have 3 NICs and using one for host management and other two in windows teaming. We read many blogs and supported configurations, but still not clear about
    the options with teaming.  Usually with teaming we select the default options such as Switch Independent Teaming mode, Dynamic Load Balancing mode with no standby adapter. Recently with this teaming configuration we faced issues with host servers on multiple
    Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers (the guest hang multiple times) and when we removed one of the NICs from team it started working fine. With the switches we didn't find any issues nor with NICs. Is it because of the default team options? Should we go
    with Hyper V port Load balancing mode?
    Expect support from you guys. Thanks in advance

  • 1. Will CAL Licenses works if i use Windows Server 2012? 2. What GB of RAM can be used with Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition?

    I have been using Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for my business purpose and there are at-least 30 Users who logged in into the server Via Remotely from different location. I want to upgrade my server with latest one with some extra cores and RAM for
    better and smooth operations for all users. So, i have a doubt whether my CAL Licenses will works with Windows Server 2012 or i need to purchase the new one for the same? 
    Moreover, if i don't upgrade my Windows to any 2012 edition and stay on 2008 Standard Edition how much maximum RAM can be installed at a time? is there any limitations? if Yes, please let me know how do i upgrade my Windows 2008 Standard Edition to any other
    business edition to avoid such limitations of RAM?
    Waiting for your favorable and quick response. 

    Hi again,
    th eupgrade optiuon from Standard 2008 to Enterprise 2008 was only available for customers with open value contract with activ esoftware assurance then they can purchase the step up license from Standard to Enterprise.
    the only way to have the Enterprise 2008 Edition is to make th edowngrad efrom 2012 Standard to 2008 Enterprise. it means that if you purchase the 2012 R2 Standard Edition, you may downgarde to Enterprise 2008/2008 R2. th ebest way to make the downgrade
    to 2008 R2 Enterprise is to purchase the current Version 2012 R2 Standard in volume licensing than you can download diretly from VLSC the Enterprise Edition.
    with your downgrade you can still using the 2008 CALs.
    thanks
