Windows Server 2012 won't stream to a Windows 7 computer

I have a windows 7 computer and I built a windows server using windows server 2012. I am using it mainly to store and stream movies. I have the media pack installed that would allow me to stream but when I try to steam it from the server to my laptop it
does not stream it just wants to download it. I am clicking on the file under media, and it pops up with a new window like it is about to play with the play in the middle of the screen then goes away and asks if I want to download it. I cant find an answer
out and was wondering if anyone knew what was going on. I also have a windows 8 laptop and it will stream to that just fine so I know I have the streaming set up but just dont know why it wont stream to my windows 7 computer. Any ideas?

This one might help.

    how to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

    Use guide below to convert it to 'basic' disk, or install windows on another drive. The supported way is to delete all partitions and convert it to a basic disk.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755238.aspx
    However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.

  • How to install Windows Server 2012 as a Virtual Machine on Window 7 64 bit machine

    Hi All,
    I need to install virtual Window Server 2012 on Window 7 machine(8gb ram,64 bit machine).
    Please give me the list of required softwares to install. If possible the please give download link as well. 
    Thanks

    Since you're on Windows 7 I'd probably go for using VirtualBox
    https://www.virtualbox.org/ to host the virtual machine.
    Downloading 2012 depends what you're after really, if you've got TechNet / MSDN then you can download it from there, otherwise you'd need to have a licenced copy. You can download 180 day evaluation versions from the Microsoft website here :

    What I have done to try to troubleshoot this issue is:
    Reinstalled DPM - No sucess
    Restarted the Hyper-v Host - No sucess
    I'm at the point where I am out of ideas and google hasn't given me much.
    /Joseph

    i have the same error.
    "vssadmin list writers" shows last error unknown for all writers
    disk space is sufficient
    ntbackup of systemdrive and systemstate runs fine.
    i installed KB940349 which fixes some vss related issues but the problem is still there.
    any ideas?
    Thanks.
    When you have vssadmin reporting unknown error the only way to reset the vsswriters (as I understand it please correct me if I'm wrong :) ) is to restart the machine. The Fellenator is correct, make use that the vsswriter is working correctly since this
    is the main function DPM is using when taking backup. He's also right in saying that it's outside the scope! Create a new thread on your error, then you will get much better responce!

  • Windows Server 2012 - Direct Access clients and the Windows 8 firewall

    Hi,
    We're running a simple proof-of-concept for Server 2012 Direct Access, we have a single DA server behind a firewall using NAT. We have a number of client devices setup for DA and running Windows 8.
    Our issue is that we can only get the Windows 8 direct access clients to connect (when outside the corporate network) and work with the windows firewall disabled (public network profile). 
    With the windows firewall disabled everything works exactly as expected. When outside the corporate network the client detects the network state (public network profile), connects via DA and all internal resources can be accessed successfully...fantastic.
    Is there some specific guidance on manually configuring the windows 8 firewall for Direct Access ? We've tried the obvious TCP:443 with edge traversal enabled but without success.
    Much of the information we have found relates to UAG rather than Windows 2012 DA.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Hi,
    There isn’t any specific configuration on the firewall.
    Just confirm that port 443 can be forwarded to DirectAccess server.
    Of course, make sure you are using IPsec first.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 print issues

    We are using terminal server with Windows Server 2012 R2. Our users are using Windows 7 Embedded thin clients with MSTSC RDP 8.0. We are using network printers.
    There is problem with printing from Adobe Reader. We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.06. Sometimes users cannot print from Adobe Reader with error message "Printer not found" even though we can print on same printer from other software. This problem can be solved by relogging user, but in our enterprise environment, this is not acceptable solution.
    Thanks for your help.

    I had the same issue with another Canon UFRII that was not on the network. Canon has some monitor software that attempts to query the device and this threw back Invalid Parameter when the device did not exist.  Is your device on the network?

  • [Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

    We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
    Analysis
    Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
    is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report: 
    Figure 1.
    In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
    Produces
    You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
    1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
    1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
    2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
    We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
    After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
    Method 1: Using Server Manager
    1) Open Server Manager, click
    Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
    Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
    2) In Features,
    uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
    There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
    You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
    “Import-Module ServerManager”
    “Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
    or
    “Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
    It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.

  • Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 R2; system aborts and reboots after first blue Windows logo appears

    System:  Dell PowerEdge sc1420 with dual xeon and Adaptec 2420SA SATA RAID (supported by OS); 10 GB memory (2x4, rank 2, organization x4, in DIMM1 & DIMM2; 2x1, registered, organization x8, in DIMM3 & DIMM4)
    This computer is currently running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise which was installed with no problems.
    Objective: clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on an otherwise unused RAID array disk set.
    All attempts to boot from DVD result in loading of files (grey progress bar on bottom of screen), brief dark screen, then black screen with a blue windows logo for about 2 seconds and then a flash of about 10 lines of error notifications on a black screen
    for about 1/4 second (unreadable), and then a reboot of the computer.
    Coreinfo.exe confirms that cpus DO support NX and PAE; do NOT support VMX (virtual machine enhancements).
    Attempts to run memtest.exe from boot disk tool-menu startup result in an error message that the memtest.exe file is corrupt.
    Running memtest.exe from Windows 2008 R2 install disk results in all memory tests passed!
    Attempted booting with multiple DVD's (some +R, some -R, all verified) burned from .iso.  These DVD's were used successfully to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on an HP Pavilion.  Also changed DVD drives just to rule out DVD hardware. 
    Running CHKDSK from Windows 2012 R2 on HP Pavilion shows no problems; running CHKDSK from Windows 2008 R2 on the Dell system on the same disks shows some problems.  Running checkdisk on the Windows 2008 R2 install disk from the Windows 2008 R2 installed
    system shows no problems.  All disks burned and verified on same system.
    Also attempted to boot from USB thumbdrive with copy of DVD on it.  Same results: system loads files then reboots at first Windows logo.  So that would rule out disk quality issues per se??
    Started to try an upgrade rather clean install to see if any errors were announced.  None were announced as the system went through much of the process.  I aborted somewhere along the way before committing to the upgrade because 1) the most likely
    outcome was it would not boot after install (I don't really need the practice in restoring); and 2) even if it did reboot, having a system that can't be repaired by booting the install disk is pointless.
    All disks and raid arrays are recognized and usable by RAID controller card and by Windows Server 2008 R2.  Disks are within spec for use with Adaptec 2420SA (1TB @ 300).
    Is VMX (aka VT-x) actaully required for ANY install even though Hyper-V is not intended to be used?  If so, it is too bad that the Microsoft system requirements (
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303418.aspx ) don't make that clear.  And lack of VMX support really doesn't explain the memtest.exe "corruption" issue. 
    Or is it maybe something unique about the files on 2012 R2 disk (or disk image on USB) that are causing some problem with the chipset processing?  But why?
    My vote would be for the latter of the issues, but I have no clue why or if it is remediable.  Suggestions? 

    So here is what I think is the final understanding of this problem:
    First, one additional piece of important information:  The computer successfully moves into and through the Windows Boot Loader phase and succeeding phase ONLY for Windows 8.1 32-bit, but NOT for Windows 8.1 64-bit nor for Windows
    Server 2012 R2 (only 64-bit).
    The Windows Boot Manager phase (which precedes the Windows Boot Loader phase) is either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) and is loaded by the 16-bit stub program (Bootmgr) which starts in real mode. 
    Windows Boot Loader of course runs in either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) according to the product being installed.
    By inference, the essential problem is occurring in conjunction with the loading of a WIM file to start the Windows Boot Manager. 
    The boot manager starts ok and generally shows its essential screens (Windows Boot Manager; Advanced Boot Options) or proceeds to load files for transition into Windows startup in the succeeding Windows Boot Loader phase (that doesn’t “boot” but rather
    loads the system).  This is best confirmed by the announced corruption of the memtest.exe file when selecting Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager Screen. 
    If allowed to continue loading files to pass control to the Windows Boot Manager, the type of abort and resulting immediate restart that occurs is that which you would associate with unhandled cpu exceptions (invalid instruction, memory out of range,
    wild interrupt, etc.) that most of us have not commonly seen for 20 years (since beginning to use well behave OS’s from Windows NT 3.1 and on).
    So, the problem obviously is due to a failure to properly mount the WIM file and/or properly access it (probably the latter) when running in 64-bit protected mode. 
    This is independent of the hardware on which the install disk is actually mounted (DVD or USB-flash), so it is NOT a hardware problem
    per se.
    Since the WIM is mounted early in the process, Boot Manager may well have loaded it using BIOS routines to access the physical device on which it resides rather than loading 32-bit or 64-bit drivers of its own. 
    Hence, if the BIOS does not “mount” the WIM in a way that is later fully compatible with access from the 64-bit systems being loaded, it could cause apparent file corruption. 
    If it is only partially incompatible some functionality may appear quite usable (like loading files) until later detected. 
    This is vague on my part, because the exact nature of the incompatibility cannot be readily determined from the information available. 
    But the consequence is the same: the system cannot boot from the install disk, either for initial installation or repairs.
    Incidental conclusion:  The 64-bit boot manager code for Windows Server 2008 does not exhibit this faulty behavior, but the 64-bit code for Windows Server 2012 does. 
    So the problem is not inherent with loading 64-bit server OS’s.
    Expectations:  If the system were to be upgraded using the features of the install disk while running an installed OS, say Windows Server 2008 R2, it might well succeed and yield a fully functional system upgraded to Windows Server 2012
    R2 (because the installed operating system is started from discrete files, not from a WIM file). 
    However, in order to perform a disaster recovery using Windows resources (such as image backups from Windows Server Backup), one would have to presumably boot from a Windows Server 2012 64-bit install disk or Windows Server USB recovery drive. 
    Of course we know that the Windows Server install disk will not boot and we can be fairly sure that the problem will migrate to any Windows Server USB recovery drive that is created. 
    My inspection of a Windows 7 System Repair CD shows that is based exclusively on boot.wim, not discrete files! 
    Of course a generated image for a WIM for Windows 2012 USB recovery drive
    might not have the flaw that drives this behavior, but it probably would.
    Problem conclusion:  A BIOS upgrade would be required for compatibility with Windows Server 2014 clean installation
    and any maintenance; and none is available from the OEM.
    Problem not resolved, but understood for future reference.
    Thanks to Tim whose comments helped me focus my thinking.

    This service account does not have the required user right "Log on as a service."
    User Action
    Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user
    right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
    If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated
    with this node might be removing the right.
    I found following article:
    "MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" error when you install WID in Windows Server 2012
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
    To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
    Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
    Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
    We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 GPO Loginscript is executed with more than 2 minutes delay after login

    Hi everybody
    A strange problem came up in a new Windows Active Directory Domain (one single DC with Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials): after configuring a User GPO with a Powershell Loginscript and applying the GPO to an User OU, the following happens:  when a
    User logs into a PC or Server, the Loginscript does not run within the first 120 - 150 seconds, and then suddenly the Scripts runs and completes within seconds. What could be the reason for such a long delay?
    When I run the Powershell Script manually it runs immediately and finishes within seconds. But assigned through a GPO it takes really long to run. I also tried a very "simple" Loginscript with only one command (map a network share) - but this Script
    also runs with a long delay. So the script does not seem to be the problem but the Logon Procedure. I even tried the same script with a locally defined GPO on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (just to check whether it might be a NETLOGON/SYSVOL share problem), but
    no luck - it takes 2 to 3 minutes until the Script is run. I went a bit further and realized that the problem is only related to the latest OS Windows 8 (8.1) / Windows Server 2012 (R2) but not to older windows system. So what changed in the logon process
    of the new Windows versions? Why are GPO applied with a such a long delay?
    Any ideas?

    This problem reproduced on all my web-servers (Windows Server 2012 Std). How can I fix these problems

    Hi,
    Windows update error 0x80070020 can occur if a program is interfering with the automatic update process.
    Restart your computer or restart your computer in safe mode with network, then try to install the updates. Detailed information you may reference the link below(this applies also to Windows Server 2012 ):
    You receive error 0x80070020 when you use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site to install updates
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883825/en-us
    If the problem still exits, open Run, type %windir% and hit
    Enter, find a text file named WindowsUpdate, uploaded the log file.

  • Using Windows Server 2012 per-User RDS CAL on Server 2008 R2 Session Host

    I have a Remote Desktop Licensing Server setup on my domain controller running Windows Server 2012 R2. I have installed a
    ’Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services per-User CAL’ there and activated the licensing server already.
    Currently I use ONLY Windows Server 2008 R2 machines as RDS Session Hosts (in the future I plan to transition them to 2012 R2, hence the CAL I bought is
    already in the newest version).
    I have already configured my WS 2008 RDS Session Hosts: set
    Per-User licensing mode and specified license server address. The connectivity between my Session Host(s) and my License Server seems to be ok as the
    Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration window on the Session Host correctly lists the 2012 per-user
    license (CAL installed on server) from the license server.
    On the License Server I can also see event logs entries (in
    Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Licensing/Admin), indicating that the user has been issued a license.
    The issue I am having is that the license being issued is
    2008 Per User CAL license (Build-in OverUsed - temporary) and not the 2012 Per User CAL license which is the only license installed on the server. According to the RDS CAL interoperability matrix at
    social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14988.rds-and-ts-cal-interoperability-matrix.aspx, I was expecting the 2012 license to be backward-compatible with 2008 client (and that
    in the absence of legacy licenses, the (only) 2012 license would be used for all clients connecting to the licensing server)
    Before I bought my license, I found this document: 
    download.microsoft.com/download/3/D/4/3D42BDC2-6725-4B29-B75A-A5B04179958B/WindowsServerRDS_VLBrief.pdf 
    which says that - "newer version RDS CALs can be used with an older version of the server software" (In section FAQ, Q4), which means to me that
    the 2012 license would work as-is for the 2008 Server and gives me flexibility when upgrading to the new server version.
    How can I make this CAL work in my environment? 
    Note:
    I have already explicitly disabled
    Prevent license upgrade Group Policy setting which I assumed would fix the issue but nothing has changed.
    Then I have enabled License server security group Group Polity setting
    and added computers from my domain to RDS Endpoint Servers AD group. I have also created new AD group called
    Terminal Server Computers and added the computer accounts there, but it changes
    nothing. Reference - technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee791761.aspx , technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725704.aspx and blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/09/17/control-the-issuance-of-rds-cals.aspx.
    I found one potential ‘workaround’ which involved manually downgrading my CAL license by calling
    Microsoft Clearinghouse. I am very reluctant do to so because, as I upgrade parts of my infrastructure to Server 2012, I’d need to then ask Microsoft to manually upgrade a part of my license back as well.
    Am I missing something? What should I do to get my 2012 CAL to be issued to 2008 R2 server

    Hi, I have tried several other possibilities.
    I change expire date for my temporary assigned license (2008 CAL overused). It can be done, by changing Active Directory user properties – msTSExpireDate. When I restart my Session Host server and logged again, my license was renewed
    for next 60 days (event ID - 4145).
    I also delete information about license for this user (clear msTSExpireDate and msTSLicenseVersion). And the license was successfully removed from License Manager. After another SH restart it gets the same – 2008 overused – license
    (event ID 4143 - license server has successfully issued …)
    I now, that changing info in AD attributes is a little trick, and this is not a real value - only a reference, but it was useful to delete or change expiration date of license. But it didn’t change type of license as I expected.

    To TP:
    I have found your post with information:
    If you have a Server 2012 RD Licensing server you may install your 2012 RDS CALs on it (no downgrade necessary) and then set your Server 2008 R2 RDSH to
    use the 2012 RDL server.  The 2012 RD Licensing server will automatically issue the CALs as 2008. -

    And it showing my situation in brief. I also found
    similar problems, but the solutions don’t meet my expectations.

    – “this should go away after a while”
    Is there a way to determine this time you mentioned before? Or should I just wait patiently…

  • In-place upgrade: Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2

    I have a Windows Server 2012 physical server running Exchange Server 2013.   Microsoft has stated that Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 (or CU4 in the new parlance) will finally allow Exchange Server 2013 to support Windows Server 2012 R2.  
    Although Exchange SP1 has not yet been released, I want to do some advance effort planning.   If I apply Exchange SP1, will I be able to run an in-place setup/upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Since Windows Server 2012 R2 is not currently listed as a supported OS platform for Exchange 2013, it is
    not recommended to update the OS on your Exchange servers to Windows server 2012 R2 at the present. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:

    Support For Windows Server 2012 R2
