Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

Hey Guys,
I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
to connect to
So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please follow the below steps and verify result.
LAN manager authentication level settings (Local security policy->Local Policies->Security Options->Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication level).
Try to change it to "Send NTLMv2 response only"
Snap:
If still face the issue please install this Hotfix.

Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server. I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers. Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer. I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

Interesting problem with RAID, Windows 2008 server, and Ubuntu

sooooo, i got the system working and linux loved it. just adored it.
however, Windows did not. Windwos 2008 server hard locks from time to time. i fianlly figured out that it had to do with the RAID 0 i was running, that didn't really succeed.
However, when i rebuilt the RAID and everything on it, it refuses to recognize the disk, sayign that windwos cannot determine if this drive has a valid system volume on it.
Ubuntu 9.04 server, however, just took it and made it work great.
I enabled the PCI Bus SATA to be Master in the BIOS, and then Windows Server 2008 said that it could not determine if the drive was bootable. Then i went back and redid the raid, and it did the original error.
I inserted a windows xp disk, destroyed the RAID, and then installed the software on a NEW disk. While it installed fine, it gave me an IRQL_not_less_than_or_equal error. It boots in safe mode, but no where else. I tried installing the NVRAID and MCP55 drivers in safemode and what not, but still, it refused to cooperate. I went back to ubuntu, this time the desktop/workstation versions, and i am doing an alternate install with RAID...much to my disappointment becuase now i will have to use VirtualBox to isntall windows...and if that fails, i'll be really pissed.
My settings are as follows:
SATA Controller 0-5 enabled
NVRAID- enabled
PCI BUS SATA- Option ROM Enabled, Master Enabled, and 0040h latency
MAC LAN- same as above
MAC LAN1- has master disabled, but the other stuff is the same
Serial port A is on AUTO, B is disabled, and floppy is disabled.
Option Rom is PFA relocation.
Also, my AEC A6880 is giving me a ROM expansion error, even though, in both OSes it can be seen....usualy. I just want to fix it
lastly, my LSI PCI-E scsi adapter is not being seen at ALL.
thanks guys.

What's the BSOD error? Are you using XP installation disk with included SP3?

DHCP Failover in Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2 Environment

Hi Everyone,
We are trying to implement DHCP failover in our environment. Our IT Infrastructure consists of 4 – windows server 2008 R2 servers and 7 – Windows Server 2012 servers; 1 Main Office with 2 – DC’s and 9 branch/remote offices with one DNS server in every remote
office. All the DNS servers have 2 scopes defined on them for VOICE and Data with different Subnets.
What would be the best method to implement failover in 2008 R2 – Windows Failover Cluster or Split scope? And how to implement DHCP Failover in Windows Server 2012 R2?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you for your help!
-kN

Hi,
if you can choose between 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 than go with 2012 R2 it is easy to create a DHCP failover there. Actually that is one of the new features of Windows 2012.
With Server 2012 you setup your fist DHCP server with the scopes you want to setup. Than you install the second 2012 server with DHCP role and authorized. If you have done this you going back to your first server, where you already configured your scopes.
Now right click onto the scope you want to setup for failover and select 'Configure Failover'. You can than set it up as kind of split scope (Load balance Mode) or as real fail over setup (Hot Standby). In Load balance Mode you can configure the balance of
IP addresses between the both servers, like primary has 60% IP addresses and secondary has 40%.
With Server 2008 R2 the easiest configuration is split scope. But here it depends how many IP leases you will max have and if you can absorb if one of the server is going down. Lets say you have 50 DHCP leases max, than sure, set it up as split scope. But
if you have 200 DHCP clients, than I would go with failover cluster. At the end it depends on your environment.

Windows 2008 Server R2 Windows Explorer Refresh Issue

I work on a Windows 2008 R2 server that I connect to through remote desktop. Recently the automatic refresh in Windows Explorer stopped working. If I create, delete, copy, move, rename etc., I do not see the changes unless I refresh (F5). I tried the three
solutions below which was for Windows 7, but they have not fixed the problem. Can anyone please help me.

Ray Pietrzak

You can unmark no problem.
You tried with 0x0 ? In my first post I did a error to write down 0x1. From there, if it does not work we will continue.
They are other key too that might work;
NoRemoteChangeNotify = 1 (DWORD) in the same location as thee other.
and NoSimpleNetIDList = 1 (DWORD) from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Slow logons on windows 2012 server and windows 7 sp 1 devivce

Hello everybody,
I've a windows user reporting slow logons on one of our clients.
The domain is a 2012 domain and the device with the issue is a windows 7 sp1.
The winlogon message event ID 6005 appears (winlogon taking too long to handle notification request)
Also NETLOGON message event id 5719 saying can not secure channel with the DC, because there're no one available).
Profile is not set to roaming.
The system logs are uploaded to this link:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=2CDBBADCC474A82C!241&authkey=!AM99cXm2AaNp8Wg&ithint=folder%2czip
Resetting the password of the computer object is succesfull but I can not be resetting the password now and then.
The GP setting for process login scripts synchronously is not configured.
The GP setting that makes the computer wait for the network set to 0 then causes a temp profile to be loaded.
Please help me I don't know what else to do.

any help will be appreciated
thanks in advance

Hi,
We could not restore the server 2008 r2 backup on server 2012 r2. System State Recovery is only supported on the same operating system instance. It is not supported on a reinstalled operating system on the same or different hardware.

Microsoft Windows 2008 Server and RDC

hi:)
We have a fairly serious problem. Many of our customers have a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running our ASP web solution on that machine. In this web solution we use RDC (crystal) to show reports on the net, which works perfectly. But now a couple of our new customers have installed Microsoft Windows Server 2008 32 bit and 64 bit version. But when we are showing these reports on a Windows Server 2008, the result is not correct. It show a completely wrong result in the reports. This meaning showing 4 timers the records it should do.
Do u support Windows Server 2008 32 bit and 64 bit with RDC (crystal) ?
Have anyone experienced the same problem?

Hi Jan
CR XI, CR XIR2 and CR 2008 have not been tested with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and MS Windows Server 2008 would be added to the supported platforms Guide when it is done.
Please refer to the Supported Platforms Guide for CR XI, CR XIR 2, CR 2008 for more information.

Windows 2008 Server License Key not working on VirtualBox

I have a validated licensed copy of Windows 2008 Server and I need to load it on a Virtual machine (I am running Oracle VirtualBox). When I had the server running on a hardware based server it worked fine. The license key activated and it worked. Now when
I load it onto the VirtualBox solution it fails. It will take it when I run the manual command but will not show my server as activated. This is for my private use only (internal home LAN) but I would prefer to have the activation be correct since I use this
setup to help keep fresh on Windows 2008 servers while being on a Linux OS with a VM software loaded. What can I do to have this server activate correctly under the VirtualBox?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Base on my experience, after we convert a physical computer system to virtualize environment we need to reactive it, with MAK active method we need keep this vm to connect to
internet and with KMS method please confirm this vm can communicate with your KMS server.

CALS for Windows 7 Professional and windows server

I have Windows 2008 Server and i have windows 7 professional workstation.
Do I need WIN CAL for both the machine for file transfer ?Does windows 2008 and
windows 7 professional has any minimum WIN CAL which comes along with Windows
license?
Kindly please clarify.

Hello,
for Windows Server 2008, you need CALs for each user or device have Access to Windows Server.
If you are using Windows 7 as a separte Workstation and users have Access to Windows 7 than you do not eeed CALs*
*You may allow up to 20 other devices to access Windows 7 software installed on the licensed computer to use only File Services, Print Services, Internet Information Services and Internet Connection Sharing and Telephony Services.
If you mean to install Windows 7 on Windows Server 2008 and users have Access to both than you Need CALs for Windows Server + VDA license for each device accessing to Windows 7 as a virtual machine on the Server.
I hope that my Answer clear ist
thanks

Will Windows 8.1 uninstall Windows 2008 server

I have a test box with windows 2008 server install. I now want to UNINSTALL windows 2008 server and INSTALL windows 8.1. Do Need to uninstall windows 2008 server first or will Windows 8.1 uninstall it for me?
thanks in advance.

Hi,
If Windows Server 2008 is considered no more useful, we may take a clean install of Windows 8.1 and choose to format the whole drive. And it is recommended to take a Windows Server 2008 backup first, just in case.
Some reference:

SharePoint 2013 Server OS upgrade from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2

Is it possible to have SharePoint 2013 farm to have mixed version of OS (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2).
We have a request to upgrade our farm servers from WIN 2008 R2 to Win 2012 R2. We have 5 servers in farm -
2 App servers - running with Central Admin, Service Applications, User Profile
3 Web Front End Servers- running web application, search and workflow manager
the database layer is separate on sql 2012 R2
We want to upgrade OS from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2 and SQL to SQL 2014.
What will be right approach to do OS upgrade in above scenario to minimize the impact of downtime.
May be add windows 2012 based servers in farm one by one and replace the windows 2008 R2 based servers from server.
Regards,
Kunal Abrol

Its possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. The problem is that you can only install SharePoint 20103 on Windows Server 2012 r2 using the slipstreamed SP1 version. I assume that you used the regular version to install on you Server 2008 r2 versions.
Even if you upgrade those servers to SP1 there are some minor differences in the builds between slipstreamed SP1 and upgraded SP1. So although it will work it isn't recommended.
Also, you should be aware the upgrade of inplace SharePoint servers running Windows 2008 r2 to Windows 2012 r2 is not supported.
To upgrade to server 2012 you'll need to add 2012 servers to your environment using the slipstreamed version os SharePoint and then remove the old server 2008 r2 servers as soon as possible. For the period of the upgrade you should be able to get away
with running the farm in a mixed state.

RDWeb Server 2008 R2 and WIndows 8.1 Clients

Hi
I have an issue with RDWeb and Windows 8.1 clients. Works fine with Windows 7 and Windows 8 clients, yet 8.1 is a no go. I can log on to RDWeb, display the available apps for the logged on user, but when trying to connect to an app it never loads. If I click
'Show Details' on the app, I can see the desktop load but then that is it. Screenshot below is when I try to launch Sage. Sits at the blue desktop screen.
I have tried compatibility mode in IE to no avail. I found a post on here where a user was having similar issues. I tried her fix, but again, nothing.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
I am afraid to say but still there is no any Hotfix for this, but you ca try December 2014 updates might it get it work for you.

Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 DNS Problem

Hi,
I have a DNS Server hosted in Windows Server 2008 R2 and our clients are using Windows 7. All are working fine then suddenly there are times that our client cannot access our internal site and cannot connect with our IM which is also hosted in the server.
Tried to ping the server's IP but got this result:
Ping request could not find host .com. Please check the name and
try again.
NSLookup works fine. Tried to use the ip address instead of the domain name and it works. Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas
regarding this?

Hi,
“Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas regarding
this?”
It seems is the client IP address conflict, it may cause by your DHCP Conflict Detection Attempts value setup is not appropriate. You can try to set Conflict Detection Attempts
to a value other than 0.
