What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?

What will I do with the SQL Server (2012/2014) (Standard/Enterprise) Licenses?
Are these the same as software product keys, or just some pieces of paper the company needs to have on hand?
In which case, when we install SQL Server 2014, (and when looked for videos) - there is only 1 product key value to be put in, is there some other screen in the setup to input the License bought ( in our case will be Core licenses).
So in addition to the Core Licenses do will a Product key be needed? Would product key from an msdn work, as it is the licenses that we will buy to indicate that we bought to run the software on server X?
Thanks for any indications.

I will answer your question point wise
1. Keeping license key is good idea it helps you during audit and you have proof that you are using a valid Microsoft License. Plus in scenario of disaster where whole box gets damanged you might need to install SQL Server again in that case during
reinstallation on setup page where you need to enter key you might need need it. If you are missing your paper then you are in trouble.
2. Only on product key page license key is required and it is not required anywhere else during installation. Unless you enter valid product key installation will not proceed further.
3 License makes you a valid owner of Microsoft product with restrictions on how much hardware resource you can use how much max connections you can make etc. Key lets you install it on Windows machine making sure that you are using valid Microsoft product.
This was just a general idea please speak to your licensing specialist for more details. This is technical forum and we generally ask user to speak to licensing expert for such queries.

Server 2012 RS Standard Planning

It's been a while since I've planned a new server strategy. There are so many options and looking for some guidance on best practices. (no Laughing please) Currently we have 1win2000 Global catalog, active directory server, 1 Server 2003
file/ accounting host server and 1 server 2008 r2 hyper-v enabled running 2 vms for remote offsite users. We have about 34 users over 30 client desktops (win7-win8) All server systems are running solid, but would like to
start consolidating.
Moving forward, I'm not interested in trying to figure out how to get active directory from my win200 server, over to a new server 2012. I'm ok with starting from scratch.
Required Roles:
File server
SQL Server for SAGE Accpac database (about 20gb accounting databse)
3-6 Remote offsite users (RDS? or Hyper-v?)
What I'd like to buy is 1 physical Lenovo server with 2 Xeon 6core CPU's, 24gb ram, 2tb storage.
Is it wrong for me to want the above mentioned roles to run on 1 server?
Should I do it on 1 server with server vms in hyper v?
If I could, I'd install server 2012R2 Standard as a New Domain global cat/active directory server.
I'd then install file server role and SQL server for the accounting DBs. My thoughts for the 3-6 offsite remote users would be to run virtualized win7 machines. Does this setup sound feasible in the way I've outlined it? I usually
read people objecting to having all these roles on 1 server instance, but we are pretty small (less than 40 users) and feel 1 server could easily handle this load.
Robert

Hi
Further clarify:-)
If you plan to buy 1 physcial server you can create this topology;
- Install Server 2012 r2 Standard on your physcial envorenment
- Also install hyper-v role (Windows Server 2012 r2 standard Support vm with licenced)
- Install first vm and configure as an DC.
- Install second Vm and install SQL server on this.
As you say you have 3 Physcial server thats great...
- Install Windows Server 2012 r2 on each 3 physcial server
- Also install Hyper-v role on this 3 server 2012 r2 standard (also you can create totally 6 Vm wth licence on server 2012 standard with hyper-v)
- Install PDC on a vm,then install another vm and add as an Additional DOmain Controller (for Redundacy AD DS,DNS)
- Install 2 vm server and configure a SQL cluster
- install file server another vm
- install RDS server on another vm
Is this appropriate?

What software do I need to install to play some games MacBook Pro Mid 2014

Hello, what software do I need to install to play some games - MacBook Pro Mid 2014. Games like : Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Boarderlands 2, FarCry series, Crysis, etc.

Assassin’s creed II and Borderlands 2 are in the Mac App Store.
The other’s don’t appear to be ported to OS X. You’d have to install Windows in one of the various ways, Bootcamp (native boot) or Virtualization (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox). Games under Virtualization probably don’t run well.

I've used Linux for several years, but only recently installed Arch for the first time. I installed Bridge Linux, Chakra, and later ArchBang, and after getting a feel for pacman (I think it's great!) and, with Bridge and ArchBang, the Arch repos, I was convinced that I wanted to go ahead with an Arch installation. Not sure if this is an option for you or not, but I actually tried two "test" installations on a spare computer first, taking detailed notes, with tabs in my browser (on another computer) opened to the Beginners' Guide and the "official" Installation Guide. I also kept the Bridge and ArchBang installations; kinda nice to be able to take a look at them sometimes to see how things are set up there. I don't know if Arch users would recommend this type of approach, but it has worked out well here.

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".

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!

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.

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.

[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.

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.

What is posted availability specification for Windows server 2012? 2012R2?

I am trying to put together a high availability solution and I want to know what the availability 'claim' of the individual components would be. What is the availability specification for Windows server 2012 and Windows Server 2012R2?(for example 99.9%
availability for the O/S itself). This would be in a non clustered or Load Balanced state. Just a single server running the O/S.

Hi,
SLA requirements determine how components such as storage, clustering, and backup and recovery factor into your organization.The term high availability is meaningless until you define how to measure it. IT shops measure high availability as the percentage of
time that systems are available, but the provider and consumer of high-availability services must agree on what constitutes availability and how the time is measured.

Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

Dear Team,
Thanks in advance.
I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
i have tried changing the initial install option of OS to ''other''. But still its the same.
Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key.
if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

I have the same problem here.
With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message: ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

Install Server 2012 on a raid device

Hi there
i have following problem - i have to install server 2012 (unattended) on an server with an LSI Controller.
Therefore i have to configure the raid controller - befor the installation of the operating system.
So my idea was to write an batch for configuration an execute this batch as a synchronous command. this is almost working but the configuration of the raid happens to late, so that setup cannont continue
now i have two questions:
is it possible to set an global environment variable as soon as possible?
would it work if i start my configuration script in the startnet.cmd inside the pe-part of the boot.wim?
any other ideas?
thx
netlord

Hi Henrik
i tried this:
i´ve injected the storcli.exe and the raid.cmd into the first index of the boot.wim (called "Windows PE (x64)"
also i edited the startnet.cmd and inserted following line
%SYSTEMROOT%\storcli\raid.cmd (before of the wpeinit)
this doesn´t work.
unfortunaltely i can see no log of this action
so i have some more questions:
-was it correct to start my batch before wpeinit? (logically yes, but....)
- where exactly is the switch between PE-part and Windows Setup-part?
- can i stop the boot procedure at this time?
- is it possible to write a log-file which i can read later? where to place it?
- most of all i would love to write the log to my usb-boot device - is this possible?
how can i set an environment variable which points to the usb-device?

What licence do I need to install server 2012 R2 standard on a single i-7 cpu machine?
