Mouse not working in Virtual machine (win2k3 32 and 64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies

I have installed two virtual machines(win2k3 32bit and win2k3 64bit ) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies (Beta) enterprise. Mouse is getting lost inside VM (using CTRL+ ATL + LEFT ARROW comes mouse control control in host OS).
Is there any setting to make mouse works? Insert Integration Serice setup Disk operation succeeds.

all credits for mike_something
The problem is that the old mousedriver is hooked to the mouse device class.
To remove this dependency, go into the registry and navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Remove the value msvmmouf from the UpperFilters Regvalue.
Reboot....
tadaaa!!
If you wish you can take out the drivers completely by deleting these registry hives completely :
The driver:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\msvmmouf
The Service:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VPCMap
The CopyHook Shell Extension: ( for folder access )
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{30C14BA C-122C-42ED-B319-1139DBF48EB8}\InProcServer32

After a reboot you can delete the "Virtual Machine Additions" folder from program files...
Good Luck!

Please help my Oracle Friends
Your early help will be highly appreciated.
thanks and regards

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01

Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

How do you change the Event Viewer archive location in Server 2008 R2?

We're wanting to redirect the security and system event viewer logs to the D:\ on a Server 2008 R2 box
We've got the current logs to save there, however all archived system/security logs are still being saved on the c:\ in their default location in %windir%\system32... and killing the OS partition.
I can write something up in PoSh and schedule it, but I'd rather use any built-in capabilities first...
I've taken a peek in the HKLM\Services\CurrentControlSet... hive where the event viewer behavior is configured and do not see an option to set a path for the archive location...

Unfortunately, you cannot customize the location of archived event logs in Windows. The logs will always be archived to %windir%\system32\Winevt\Logs\Archive-xxxxxx
There'd be some scripts can help you automatically archived logs to another location. You can find them here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=RootCategory&f%5B0%5D.Value=security

HP Pavilion p7-1451 USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

I bought an HP Pavilion p7-1451 so I could have an affordable, yet reasonably powerful machine to put a server software development environment on (I'm a software engineer).
It came with Windows 8, but I needed Windows Server 2008 R2, which I own through an MSDN subscription. I did what I always do in these cases, re-partioned the hard drive, re-formatted, and installed the new operating system.
I have nearly all devices working properly, but it still won't recognize the USB 3.0 ports and the Bluetooth device. I searched everywhere but cannot find anything that will work. Anything from the HP site is targeted for either Windows 7 or 8, and when trying either one of those, it tells me "Your system does not meet the operating system requirements" and MSI does not publish any drivers at all for this particular motherboard (that I can find anyway).
Motherboard: MSI MS-7778 also known as: MSI 2AEO version 1.0
BIOS: AMI 8.12
This is the list of "Other devices" in Device Manager that Windows doesn't recognize:
BCM20702A0
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
Bluetooth Device ID: USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21F1&REV_0012
USB Controller device ID: PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7812&SUBSYS_2AE0103C&REV_03
Windows still doesn't recognize them after allowing it to search the internet.
And I've googled all over the place and I'm not getting anywhere.
Does anyone have any advice?
Any chance this could be related to the BIOS?
I'm not having any luck finding a BIOS download for this motherboard either.
Any help is much appreciated!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Holy crap, it worked!!
My version number was slightly different in the .inf files, but I dropped the last ".1" off the end and that did the trick!
So, the steps were:
Get and extract the driver files:
1. Download the AMD Chipset Drivers file from here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx#2
(choose the first download in the list. It's called "AMD Chipset Drivers")
2. Download and install 7-Zip from here:
http://7-zip.org/download.html
3. Right click the 13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb.exe chipset file, select "7-Zip", then choose "Extract Here"
Install the USB Host Controller driver:
1. Open the USB Controller .inf file in Notepad from the following location:
13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\USB30\amdxhc\W764A\amdxhc.inf
2. Find all instances of: .5.1.1 and replace with: .5.1
and save and close the file.
3. In Device Manager, right click the first unknown "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", navigate to the directory in Step 1, and click Next.
5. Accept any warnings and choose to Install anyway...
It should recognize and install the USB Controller driver (finally progress!)
Repeat the same steps above for any other USB 3.0 controllers that are unrecognized.
The devices should now say "Unknown device" instead of "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller".
Windows recognizes your controllers now, but not the USB root hubs.
For each of those "Unknown device" entries, do this to install the USB 3.0 Root Hub:
1. Open the USB Hub .inf file in Notepad from the following location: (notice that it's a different directory)
13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\USB30\amdhub\W764A\amdhub30.inf
2. Find all instances of: .5.1.1 and replace with: .5.1
and save and close the file.
3. In Device Manager, right click the first "Unknown device" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", navigate to the directory in Step 1, and click Next.
5. Accept any warnings and choose to Install anyway...
I plugged in a USB 3.0 hard drive, and at first it didn't seem to work. I tried another port and still nothin. But after about 40 seconds the drive was recognized and all is well. Yay!
Thank you Paul for your help!
Hopefully this post will help others too.

Why is the LookUp object in the Flow Task of my SSIS package going red (and not working) ? Sql Server 2008 R2

I have been working with the Sql Server 2008 R2 SSIS Tutorial at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms170419(v=sql.105).aspx
--specifically -- Lesson 1. I have been having some problems with this lesson where the source data from the samples download doesn’t exactly match the data described in the tutorial, and the tables in the tutorial are different from what
is contained in AdventureWorksDW (tutorial refers to DimTime – AdventureWorksDW contains DimDate and no DimTime).
So, after futzing in BI with this tutorial so that I can at least get it to run in Debug – it errors out on the 2nd LookUp object.
Rather than looking for a fix to the problem(s) that I am having between the tutorial and the stuff I downloaded in the samples --
I want “Adapt” the tutorial so I can use the stuff I downloaded and hopefully learn how to use SSIS with the elements (source data and tables) that are present on my workstation.
Here is a description of what is going on for me – which I really don’t understand what is going on in BI – based on the images below – like what columns (from what tables) are they associating to in the OleDB Destination?
Note: the sql in the LookUps here is the sql that I copied from the tutorial.
I probably need to modify these sql statements – so -- the help I am requesting is to make the required modifications/changes
so that I can adapt this tutorial with the stuff that’s on my workstation.
I downloaded the samples and the AdventureWorksDW mdf for Sql Server 2008 R2.
It turns out that in the tutorial it wants me to select a DimTime table, but the version of the AdventureWorksDW db does not contain a DimTime table.
Instead, it contains a DimDate table. So I tried adapting DimDate for the tutorial.
Additionally, the sample data file -- SampleCurrencyData.txt -- has slightly different data types than the types described in the tutorial, so I selected data types for the columns in the datasource text file that would work in BI would to
connect column from source data file to the table.
After finishing all the steps for Lesson 1 -- when I tried debugging the package – and it error'd out on the 2nd Lookup object whichwent red.
 I edited the lookups and the sample Ole DB Destination to "ignore on fail” and I did all
green but the FactCurrencyRate table is not being populated -- as described in the tutorial, so I reset the on error back to default (Fail on error option). And based on this tutorial -- I believe FactCurrencyRate
table is the table which is supposed to be populated with the data from SampleCurrencyData.txt?
In the sample data file that downloaded with all the samples I removed all the data from the text file except for 6 rows, so instead of the original 1100 or so rows, I have only 6 rows of data in the source data file (just to keep things
simple for debugging for now). I did not modify the data itself.
Here is what the (raw) data contained in SampleCurrencyData.txt looks like (from the samples that I downloaded from codeplex) – it’s supposed to be 4 columns of data – float, nvarchar, datetime, float:

Below are images of my BI Layout for Lesson 1 from this tutorial -- the FlatFile and configurations for On Fail Error, A Flow task, the 2 LookUps (CurrencyKey and DataKey), the OleDB Destination configuration, the Design view of the associated tables and
the Debug Run of Lesson 1, and the following error messages. My goal is to figure out what is going on in BI for this tutorial.

Thank you for your reply. I changed the error handling as you suggested on the 2nd lookup to redirect to unmatched rows. Now I get all greet. I don't have the conditional split as in your diagram. But also, nothing appears to have
happened in the DB. Aren't the rows in my text file supposed to be added to the FactCurrencyRate table?
How do I get a conditional split?
Rich P
OK, sorry I forgot to reply you back.
Conditional Split was just dummy task. Ignore it.
Manipulate the data in such way that you get matching records.
Inside Source, for first 2 rows I put the dates which are available in DimDate.
1.00010001,ARS,7/1/2005 0:00,0.99960016
1.00010001,ARS,2/5/2006 0:00,1.001001001
1.00020004,ARS,9/5/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00020004,ARS,9/6/2001 0:00,1.00040016
1.00050025,ARS,9/7/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00050025,ARS,9/8/2001 0:00,1.001001001
Then in OLE DB Destination, I loaded the rows to TestFactTable.
(Now, you don't even need NO MATCH OUTPUT as there are matching records here)

How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
1. Samsung SCX-4521f
2. Samsung SCX-4300
There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
The drivers installed are as follows:
SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7 3.04.96:03 Print Driver 11 Dec, 2009 12.37 MULTI LANGUAGE)
SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
Neither will print a test page.
Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
The error persists and nothing will print.
When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
"Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
However, I can't see any specific error messages.
How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
Please can anyone advise further?

The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
The first job I see goes like this:
Information: Rendering job 41.
Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
Information:Printing job 41.
Information:Spooling job 41.
This job actually printed.
Other jobs printed fine with no error.
There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
Any ideas what to try now?
Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.

Auditing failed access to files and folders in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot audit the failed access to files and folders on my server. I'm trying to replace a unix-based NAS with a Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 solution so I can use my current audit tools (the 'nix NAS
has basically none). I'm looking for a solution for a small remote office with 5-10 users and am looking at Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 (no props yet, but on a Buffalo appliance). I specifically need to audit the failure of a user to access
folders and files they are not supposed to view, but on this appliance it never shows. I have:
Enabled audit Object access for File system, File share and Detailed file share
Set the security of the top-level share to everyone full control
Used NTFS file permissions to set who can/cannot see particular folders
On those folders (and letting those permissions flow down) I've set the auditing tab to "Fail - Everyone - Full Control - This folder, subfolders and files"
On the audit log I only see "Audit Success" messages for items like "A network share object was checked to see whether client can be granted desired access (Event 5145) - but never a failure audit (because this user was not allowed access by NTFS permissions).
I've done this successfully with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 w/SP1 and am wondering if anybody has tried this with the Windows Storage Server version (with success of course). My customer wants an inexpensive "appliance" and I thought this new
variant of 2008 was the ticket, but I can't if it won't provide this audit.
Any thoughts? Any of you have luck with this? I am (due to the fact I bought this appliance out of my own pocket) using the WSS "Workgroup" flavor and am wondering if this feature has been stripped from the workgroup edition of WSS.
TIA,
--Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,
The steps to setup Audit on a WSS system should be the same as a standard version of Windows Server. So please redo the steps listed below to see if issue still exists:
Enabling file auditing is a 2-step process.
[1] Configure "audit object access" in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO. This setting is located under Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Audit Policies. Enable success/failure auditing
for "Audit object access."
[2] Configure an audit entry on the specific folder(s) that you wish to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add, then enter the users/groups whom you wish to audit and what actions you wish to audit
- auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes/deletes a file, or you can just audit for Delete operations.

How to get dumpel.exe on windows server 2008 R2

I am new to this so please bear with me. I want to use dumpel.exe to extract security event logs on Win Serv 2008 R2 server. How do I get dumpel.exe recognized by the OS

If I use the wevtutil to send the security logs to a text file, my text file is not readable.
wevtutil epl Security c:\Logs\log.txt
This creates the text file with data but it is not readable. When I try to use the format /f:Text, I get syntax error or message that the parameter is not correct. If you go into the Security Event log and right click on an event and do 'Save Selected

Is 'SQLCMD.EXE' the SQL Server 2008 executable to be added to a Firewall 'Inbound Rule' to allow remote access?

I would like to add a new Firewall 'Inbound Rule' to allow remote access by
SQL Server 2008.
SQL Server Management Studio shows two TCP/IP instances, both of which are Enabled.
One uses port 1433 and the other uses ‘TCP Dynamic Ports’.
In SQL Server, the server has ‘Allow remote connections to this server’ checked.
My Firewall allows port 1433 for the one TCP/IP instance.
Since the other instance is dynamic, I would like to add a new
Firewall 'Inbound Rule' to allow the SQL Server executable to run.
I’ve read that the SQL Server executable is commonly named SQLSERVR.EXE, but there is no such file on my laptop.
I’m assuming the executable that needs to be added to the Firewall 'Inbound Rule'
is SQLCMD.EXE (in the path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn).
Can anyone please confirm this? (I'm running Windows 7). Thanks.

Hi Bontrager,
Firstly, please run
Discovery Report to the detect the existing SQL Server 2008 instance. If SQL Server 2008 is installed properly on your machine, the sqlservr.exe should exists in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.<instance_name>\MSSQL\Binn.
Secondly, if SQL Server 2008 is configured to use dynamic port, it is difficult to configure the firewall to enable access to the correct port number because the port selected might change every time that the Database Engine is started.
Therefore, if a firewall is used, please reconfigure the SQL Server 2008 to use the static TCP port by using SQL Server 2008 Configuration Manager.
For more information, please review this
article. After that, you can add the port number in firewall inbound rule.
Thirdly, if you want to connect to SQL Server 2008 from outside the firewall by instance name, SQL Server Browser should be turned on and you'll have to allow the SQL Server Browser through the firewall, which is UDP port 1434.

How to back up Windows 2003 R2 and restore it on Windows Server 2008 R2?

Hi,
I have an old server running on Windows 2003 R2 Standard OS. It has file server and application server roles. No AD domain services. It has 1TB of data as well.
I'd like to replace the server with new hardware with Windows 2008 R2 Standard installed.
I'd like to know the steps. what to and how to backup Windows server 2003 R2 and restore it on 2008 R2.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

You should be able to upgrade the OS directly from 2003 R2 to 2008 R2
I would recommend backing up the information with backup assist or creating a system state backup via windows first before attempting anything. I know BackupAssist will allow you to back up all your information and restore it with the same permissions
to any server.

Hi,
In Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use Regional Options Extension in Group Policy Preferences to configure the date and

CUCM and Unity LDAP Support for Server 2008 R2

I am planning on upgrading our Primary DC from Server 2003 Standard to Server 2008 R2. We current have 2 CUCM's version 7.1.5.31900-3 and 1 Cisco Unity version 7.0 (2). Both reference LDAP and/or GC. I need to know will everything break once I demote the 2003 DC. I already have one 2008 R2 domain controller in place. Also is the 2008 R2 domain functional level supported?

Hi,
The directory hierachy for a backup taken using windows server backup will be something like this:
\WindowsImageBackup\<ServerName>\<Backup datetime>\<guid name>.vhd file along with some xml config files.
The directory heirachy above suggests the backup was not taken using Windows Server Backup, at least directly, if it is taken using some software scripted over windows server backup, the .chm file may belong to that software.
The .vhd file created by windows server backup is not mountable in readonly mode, it is mountable in readwrite mode only.
Thanks,

File and print sharing on windows server 2008

Hi, Now that microsoft have removed the apple compatability oprtion from server 2008 onwards. Does anyone know how to interate Macs onto them?
Primarily this is for sharing files and printing services, but also vpn access etc.
We are new to mac computing and are starting to change over our infrastructure but at the firat attempt we hit this problem. Apple support just say 'we dont support that'
Not good service, so I thought the community would know?
Please help!
