Windows Server 2008 and Crystal Reports 8.5 printing issue

I am having a problem when using the crystal reports 8.5 report viewer ocx (ActiveX) under Windows Server 2008.
When logging onto the server through remote desktop, a report can be shown on screen in preview. When this report is printed, and the user requests more than one copy, the printer only ever prints one copy. Is this a configuration of the terminal server, or simply that the ocx control doesn't cater for it?
I am using the Windows Server 2008 "Terminal services Easy Print" drivers on the terminal server.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi Sastry
I can print multiple pages from notepad without any issues. It is only the print from the crystal OCX control that has the issue. It has it's own print dialog box.
Thanks
Peter

Windows Server 2008 R2 Crystal Report XI Runtime hosted on IIS 7 32 bit

Hi all,
We have discovered that our software department installed Windows Server 2008 R2 in a production environment.
The production environment hosts asp .net applications on IIS 7 that enables 32 bit applicatons to run over it.
We still develope on Windows XP and Visual Studio 2005 using Crystal Report XI runtime.
Reports are compatible and run properly in production environment having enabled application pool of IIS 7 in 32 bit mode.
Is Crystal report XI runtime supported on windows server 2008 R2 hosted on IIS7 32 bit mode?
Regards.
Roberto.

Hello,
Where to start.... first thing to do is search, lots of posts on these exact questions...
First, CR XI R2 does not support 4.0 framework, although MS does say it's fully backward compatible but it is not supported on Windows 2008 R2 unless you upgrade to CR XI R2A
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114412011E/crxir2sp6_incremental.exe
Or for a clean PC https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe
Redist is on our download page.
Second is CR XI R2 is not supported in VS 2010. Only one supported is CR for VS 2010 which you can download from here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet
Bottom of the page has all of the download links for the 32 and 64 bit runtime for your WEB server.
App Pool must run in 32 mode, just in case you are using 64 bit OS.
Lastly, if you are using the SAP Integration Kit to connect to your BEX query then bad news, CR for VS 2010 doesn't have API's available to set the log on on info.
You may be able to use B1, it uses CR 2008 OEM Build and they may support this. Search that forum to see if they do:

Indexing .cfm files using Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0

Hi All,
Anyone knows why .cfm files would not get indexed by Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0. This is a coldfusion website using Indexing Service for site search. There are a lot of cfm pages indexed as unknown files. Any clues on how this can be fixed?
Thanks!

You might try editing your registry so that *.cfm, *.cfc, and other ColdFusion related files are treated as text files by the Windows search feature. See link below.

How do you repair ntoskrnl.exe error or system error in windows server 2008 and 2012

hi,
can you repair system file errors like ntoskrnl.exe in windows server 2008 and 2012 like like before in windows server 2003 ?
the steps were repairing ntoskrnl.exe error in windows server 2003
1- have a 2003 cd and from that cd start recovery console and copy from i386 directory ntldr and ntdetect.com to windows /system32 directory on the server and then repairing
2- MBR with fixmbr command and then rebuild BOT.INI file with bootcfg/rebuild .
now my question is how you repair or solve such problem with ntoskrnl.exe error in windows server 2008 and windows server 2012
thanks
johan
h.david

first this wil take a lot of time for windows 2008 and 2012 ,
and what about windows 2003 I thing this has no startup repair
thanks
johan
h.david
What will take a lot of time? Repair or clean install? These days one can standup a new VM and have an operating system on it in around 20 minutes or so.
Correct server 2003 is file based deployment and completely different OS from repair perspective as well.

When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

Hi all
I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
Thanks!

Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 (Linux) - Crystal Reports/MySQL/ODBC Issue

Hello,
I have successfully installed CRS '08 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 server. All services run fine.
In the CMC, I have uploaded a Crystal Report that connect to a remote MySQL server.
I have installed the My SQL ODBC 3.51.11 and .12 Drivers as a System DSN.
I have proven that the reports run fine in Crystal Reports 2008 directly against the remote MySQL DB server.
(in Windows but with the same 3.51 ODBC Drivers)
I have also proven that the database connection works okay from the CRS '08 Red Hat server to the remote MySQL DB server, when also creating a system DSN (using bash ./ODBCConfig)
The problem is that when I log into the CMC or InfoView, and when I run the Crystal Reports from there, I get an error message:
"Error in File <MyCrystalReport>: Failed to load database information"
Is there something wrong with my specific Crystal Reports' Database Configuration? (Right click- Database Configuration)
I see the driver was registered correctly in the /etc/odbc.ini file
Am I supposed to set any other ODBC environment variables?
Is there are firewall issue (port 3306 is already open)?
In summary, the install was successful, and Crystal Reports can be uploaded and viewed via CMC or InfoView, but I cannot run the Crystal Reports against the database.
Please advise, Thanks!

Hi, I'm facing a similar problem. My ODBC DSN never works with CRS. Here are the details: 
(1) I installed the CRS 2008 in /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/ on a Linux platform. The CRS works well. I created a report with Crystal Reports 2008. This report directly connects to a MySQL server. After I published the report and manually modify its database configuration, I can browse it from InfoView. I'm sure that CRS, MySQL, and a report connecting to MySQL are all good. 
(2) Then, I created an ODBC DSN on a Windows platform. This DSN connects to a MySQL server. I created another report with Crystal Reports using this DSN. The report can show the data within Crystal Reports. 
(3) Then, I published the second report to CRS, but when I try to browse it, I always get such a message: Failed to open the connection. 
I have configured the ODBC for CRS on the Linux server and I think the configuration is correct. This is how I do that: I edited the /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/bobje/odbc.ini file. In the file I added a data source called ods_telstar. Following is the content of the file: 
[ODBC Data Sources] <
CRSQLServerWP=DataDirect 5.3 SQLServer Wire Protocol Driver 
CRSybaseWP=DataDirect 5.3 Sybase Wire Protocol Driver 
CRText=DataDirect 5.3 Text Driver 
%SYBASEDSN%=DataDirect 5.3 Sybase Wire Protocol Driver 
ods_telstar = MySQL 
 
... 
 
[ods_telstar] 
Description = ODS on telstar 
Trace = Off 
TraceFile = stderr 
Driver = /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/odbc/lib/libmyodbc5.so 
SERVER = xxx 
USER = xxx 
PASSWORD = xxx 
PORT = 3306 
DATABASE = ods 
 
In the middle I removed some data source definitions that are by default in the file. Note that I use "xxx" to replace the server name, user, and password. Such information is for internal use and I'm sure the original information is correct. The MySQL ODBC driver file has been put in the correct location. Correct access permissions has been assigned to the file. 
I've tried to restart the CRS server, but still the report using ODBC DSN cannot be viewed. 
The reason that we want to user ODBC DSN is that we may have many reports to publish. When we design the reports, we specify that they get data through an ODBC DSN such as ods_telstar. If we configure the same DSN on CRS, then we don't need manually modify each report's configuration after we publish them. If these reports are directly connecting to MySQL, then we have to manually modify each one's database configuration after we publish them. 
I've no idea what's wrong with all the setup. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated!

What is the most powerful books for Windows server 2008 and R2?

Hi,
There are many books out there that cover Windows server 2k8 and its R2 successor but i wonder which ones to focus on. In the same time, all books are for one purpose, "Windows Server 2008". Each author has his/her own view on the platform. I don't
want to read them all just to avoid confusions and complications.

Do you think the unfinished books worth reading?
Appreciate your help.

Thank you for the reply. My goal is to read everything (ins and outs) about Win 2008 and R2 platforms before i jump into Win 2012. I have pretty good experience in certain roles in Win 2008 such ADDS and ADCS. As clarified, i've finished a good number of
books but i want to make sure that i didn't miss a single piece of information that maybe covered in another book.
Honestly, i find the Technet docs are informative but daunting. On the other hand, books written by authors are more friendly because authors can throw jokes while explaining a certain technology, which makes the reader more attracted to the topic. In addition,
examples, practices, labbing, and quizzes in the books are more fun.

Drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HDD issues

Recently I have had the hard drive with my OS fail. After replacing the hard drive and reinstalling windows server 2008 I seem to have run into a few issues with drivers. After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that did not install properly. I was able to get the driver for the LAN port to work but I have not gotten the driver for "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus Controller". After a little research, I believe the video card is a Radeon HD4350. With that information I still have been unable toinstlal the correct drivers for either of these items. I've tried several drivers listed on the drivers support page on HP's website but all fo them return the same error about not finding the correct Operating System. The link to the driver I used originally on my previous installation seems to not be valid any longer.
Also I can't seem to access the two additoinal hard drives (connected by sata). They were used with the previous installation of windows with no issues. They appear in the device manager but do not show up under My Computer. A removeable drive does show up that I'm not sure what it is. Previously I had used software to mirror one of the drives onto the other as to prevent losing data if a drive would fail. Is one of the above drives causing the issue with not being able to access the drives or did the software used before cause the problem?
Any help on these issues is greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK.
I can't help you with the drives then. That is out of my realm of knowledge. If they are marked healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that is all I know that they should be indicated.
As for the graphics driver...
Download and install this free file utility.
http://www.7-zip.org/
After you install 7-zip, right click on the graphics driver file and select 7-zip from the list of options.
Select 7-zip to Extract to: and let it extract the file into a folder. I let it extract to the file name of the folder.
Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.
Of course you will first browse to where 7-zip has extracted the folder to, and proceed from there.

Client can not connect to Server installed window server 2008 and using 8.8

HI all!
I have a problem when Client log in to server that installed window server 2008.It can not connect to this server even when restart and key in IP or Server name,...
I try disable Firewall of window 2008 in server machine and client can connect to server. But when i disable firewall, it's mean i can not use Remote desktop or terminal service..
Now, how i can do in order to solve this problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at the admin guide (Page 75, 119, 159):
[http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000150922010E.zip]
If you installed a firewall on the license service computer, make sure that the firewall is not set to port 30000; otherwise, the license service cannot work.
If you are using Port X, make sure that you open Port X and Port (X+1) in the firewall. For example, if you are using port 10000, make sure to also open port 10001.
The default communication port is 1143.
The default port of the SAP Business One license server is 30000 for license communication and 30001 for the license naming service

Windows Server 2008 and Firewall Logging

Our Windows server 2008 R2 domain controller does not appear to be logging anything into the windows firewall log: c:\windows\system32\logfiles\firewall\pfirewall.log. The file is always blank. Every 2003 server and 2008 R2 non-dc work fine.
I'm a little stumped. The firewalls are configured via GPO's and appear to be applied ok.
I compared the 2003 and 2008 configuration and did notice one discrepancy:
The 2003 windows firewall service runs as the local system account. It's effective permissions to the pfirewall.log file is "full control"
However, the 2008 firewall service runs as "LOCAL SERVICE". This account has read-only permissions to the pfirewall.log file.
I haven't changed anything as this is a production server. I was hoping for some guidance before I start changing default settings. Any ideas why the pfirewall.log file is always blank?
Thanks!

Hi,
Generally, C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Firewall\firewall.log has the following permission settings:
NT SERVICE\MpsSvc:(F)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(F)
BUILTIN\Administrators:(F)
BUILTIN\Network Configuration Operators:(F)
Please make sure MPSSvc (Windows Firewall service) has Full Control on this file.
Thanks.

This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
This worked for me on a 2008 R2 DC that had somehow dropped the MpsSvc account off the Permissions list. In my case the pfirewall.log file wasn't even being created, so I had to modify permissions for the "%systemroot%\System32\LogFiles\Firewall"
folder.
Adding the MpsSvc account can be tricky if you're not familiar with where to look. Here are some supplemental instructions that might prove useful to those like myself who might not do this type of thing every day. Remember that these instructions for for
a 2008 R2 Domain Controller.
Open the "%systemroot%\System32\LogFiles\Firewall" folder. If necessary, "Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder."
Right-click the empty space in the Firewall folder and click Properties.
Go to the Security tab and click the Edit button.
In the "Permissions for Firewall" window, click the Add
button. The next step is where it gets tricky.
Click the Object Types button and in the window that opens, make sure the
Service Accounts box is checked. Click OK.
Now click the Locations button. In the window that opens, make sure you change the default selection from the domain name to your Domain Controller's hostname (e.g. DC01).
Click OK.
In the object names text field, type "NT SERVICE\MpsSvc". If you were to simply enter "MpsSvc" it wouldn't work. This is not case sensitive, but the context of your entry is very specific.
Click Check Names and your entry should automatically change to an underlined "MpsSvc" value.
Click OK.
Back on the "Permissions for Firewall" window, you can give MpsSvc
Full Control of the Firewall folder, then click OK.
You'll see a warning about changing permission settings on system folders. Read it, and if you accept the risk, click
Yes. (Otherwise click No and enjoy your non-existent firewall logs.)
Click OK again to save your changes and close the
Firewall Properties window.
You may have to restart the Windows Firewall service before the firewall log file will appear.
You should also run a "gpupdate" just to make sure your settings are permanent and aren't being overridden by a GPO somewhere out there in Active Directory.
That's all folks!

Network issues with Windows Server 2008 and MacOS

Hello there,
I believe it is a long shot, but i am running out of options. I got a video streaming server software running on my windows server 2008. It has a client that runs on MacOS and Windows. The windows client works just fine, but the macos client cannot stream
a few videos.
I've tried installing the streaming server on windows 7 and my mac client worked just fine, so I believe that win server 2008 got some sort of configuration that is blocking the correct communication between software.
Since the software devs could not tell me what's wrong or how to fix it, I thought I might get some help here (kinda of a last hope thing). I have tried installing codecs, enabling desktop experience and nothing worked.
So, here is my question: Is there anything that windows server has that windows 7 do not that might be causing this scenerio?
Thanks,
Lucas

Hi,
Have you disabled the firewall on the windows server? The firewall may block the traffic if it isn’t configured properly.
If it still doesn’t work after disabling the firewall, please install the Network Monitor on the windows server and client. Then capture the traffic of the video when the server and windows7 runs your software.
Try to compare the traffic of windows server and windows7. Find out the difference between them.
To download Network Monitor, click the link below,

SMB Digital Signing is enabled by default on Domain Controllers - I'll double check, but don't believe it is enabled across ALL 2008 Server, but it would be worth checking.
Digital Signing is designed to prevent man in the middle attacks - which is precisely what WAAS is doing
Turning it of generally improves speed by around 20% even without WAAS, and lets WAAS use full DRE and the CIFS adapter to cache files.
Any problems, just raise a TAC case and my boys will help you out
Edit: Link from MS which discusses it in more detail and how to turn off:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=887429
According to that, it's NOT enabled across the board in 2008, just on the DC's.
My company uses waas, as you can see above whenever i try to do the implementation waas is giving me the following message "pt in ad error"for all the connections that will be compatible with windows, I did some research and what's above has to do with the digital windows certificate which waas is struggling to open due to the code encrypted in the certificate. do you happen to have a way of enabling the certificate within the module. another option would be to disable the certificate in windows server 2008?

Thiago,
PT AD Int Error has nothing to do with SMB digital signatures. PT AD Int error means TFO auto-discovery failed and could not negotiate an optimized flow; this is during the TCP 3-way handshake before digital signatures even come into play
A common reason for PT AD Int Error status is another device in the path before WAAS has filled up the TCP options field with other data, thus leaving no room for WAAS to put it's TCP opt 0x21.
Once you resolve the PT AD Int Error problem and a CIFS AO negotiated policy occurs, if the server/client require digital signatures then you will see the connection as T,G,D,L or T,G (meaning Generic AO).
If digital signatures are not required the CIFS connections will show as T,C,D,L.
I suggest you take packet captures on both client and server side WAEs to see how SYN and SYN-ACK packets are reaching the WAE and see if the options field is filed with data before reaching the WAE.
If this is part of a WAAS PoC/ Demo feel free to open a case with the PDI team.
http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/tools/pdi.html
Otherwise, if this is in production please open a case with TAC.

Mike Korenbaum

Crystal Report Server xi and Crystal report 2008 Barcode

Hi, I have a crystal report server running (version xi) and have designed some reports using crystal report 2008.
My problem is that I have used barcodes in the new reports and the server throws up an error about the barcode dll.
Error message is
Unable to retrieve Object.
Error in File Report: Error in formula . 'BarcodeC39ASCII( ToText(CurrentFieldValue) )' UFL 'u2lbcode.dll' that implements this function is missing.
Can I copy this dll to the server so that it runs ?
Also, is there a crystal report server 2008, I dont see an install option on my CD?
Is my only option to purchase Crserver 2008 ?

Hi Philip,
If you check in Crystal Reports designer when you created your formula, you will notice in the 'Function Tree' of the Formula editor the DLL that responsible for 'Barcode39ASCII'. The DLL is u25azalea.dll.
Since this DLL was only shipped for CR2008 and not Crystal Reports XI there may be other dependencies. As far as the location where it should be placed for CRS-XI, it would most likely need to reside in:
\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.x\bin

Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 installation fails (reports Services to uninstall but they are not installed)

I am upgrading a Windows Server 2003 to 2008.
When I run the install it completes the Compability check and reports that Sharepoint Services and WSUS are installed. They are not installed and are not running Services either. I have attempted to remove Registry keys for these but this does not resolve
my issue.
Control Panel, Add/Remove does not report these as installed either.
How do I get the 2008 install to continue and ignore these OR how do I "truly" get these "uninstalled" if there is nothing I can do to find out what is reporting that they are installed?

SBS 2003 does contain these feature by default. Is this a small business server OS? If so I'd try them over here.
