Accessing a Windows Server 2012R2 system when the administrator password has been forgotten

Hello,
Is there a last resort method of getting back into the system?
I understand that with 2012R2, you can no longer make a Windows recovery disk.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Keith,
I agree with Milos, there is no other solution from Microsoft to solve forgotten password issue other than restore:

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 ota, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset! My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it .

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

I am from Kosovo, in Kosovo there isn't any apple store, I took my phone to fix in a shop and they changed my Icloud, my phone is now deactivated accidentally but the shops password has been hacked. I dont know what to do about it. If there was an apple store here i could take my phone there and fix it but i dont know what to do since i can't find the Icloud password. My phone remains deactivated. The people from mobi shop dont take the responisibility they say its not their fault the Icloud got hacked. Please help me because Iphones are very expensive here I had to work alot to get one. And when i finally got one it doesnt work.

Well we know whose fault it is but we cant do anything about it because of the hackers but i was hoping someone could help me in some other way. if i send You the apple id and everything could the apple stores there do anything about my problem. Cuz in kosovo i can never fix it.

Is there anyway to either trade in your old Macbook Pro for a new version, or get a new power cord when the old one has been damaged?

Well i was just wondering.. since i do have a older version of the Macbook Pro.. and the fact that the power cord has been damaged

You can always get a price on what an Apple affiliate would give you for your old MacBook Pro by going to http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/faq.html and reading the instruction for the reuse program. Or you can sell your old one on eBay (that's what I did - you'll get more for it). Apple doesn't do a simple trade-in.
Your cheapest route is just to buy a new adapter. If you don't know which adapter to get, call Apple and they can tell you, or visit your local Apple Store. They're about $80.
Good luck,

1. How to RDP my windows server 2012 from my Windows 7 with " Firewall disabled" & "Firewall Enabled" conditions

Hi,
Just make sure that the firewall is disabled in all three profiles Domain/Private/Public.
Create a incoming UDP rule on firewall to allow port 3389 and give a try.

HT1420 I've not used my iMac for some time and the password has been forgotten. How do I re-start?

I bought the iMac some 18 months ago and it was set up be a system administrator who has since left the company. I want to start using it again, but no-one knows the password.
I've tried inserting the Install DVD but the system immediately asks for the original password.
How do I overcome this?

Why?
Just continue to use the old AppleID account. You can update it with new email address if you wish.
and will not let me delete the old i cloud account unitl the pasword is put which i dont have anymore
You forgot your AppleID password?
Go here -> https://appleid.apple.com

I still get a user listed upon startup, even when the user folder has been deleted.

I've deleted a user from the User Folder and I still have it showing up at Login ... have two other users listed ... but this deleted user still listed as a active account. Anyone have a suggestion on a fix?

You need to remove the user from the Accounts Pane in System Preferences.
Unlock the Pane, select the user and click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the pane.

Why do I get error -1074388985 at CAN Connect Terminals when the Channel API has been stopped?

While trying to establish synchronized CAN and DAQ using the Channel API, I get the error -1074388985 while attempting to connect the RTSI Clock to the master timebase. The error message occurs each time I try to run the example VIs shipped with LabVIEW 6.1. I am using a Series 2 PCI CAN card with a 6034E DAQ card. Any ideas? Tech support did not have a solution.

Hi AVR,
This warning means you have tried to change an attribute on a running object. This causes the warning and should not take place.
Use the "Initialize' function instead of the "initStart" Function, then change the Attribute and use the "Start" function to start the communication, or stop the communication using the "stop" Function before you change any Attribute and then start again.
Hope that helps

Return Delivery when the material document has been archived

Hi There,
We have a situation in which we need to return some consignment material to a vendor because we don't need it anymore. We have 74 units in unrestricted stock. The thing is that the PO's material documents have been archived. This causes we can't do the return delivery using MIGO transaction.
Could someone tell me what options do I have?
Thanks for your help.
Luis

Hi,
You can create a return purchase order to do that, just flag the checkbox "Return" in the PO item line.
Good luck

HT201460 We currently have Ipads set up with an Apple Configurator profile and the removal password has been lost. What options do we have to remove or alter the profile?

We have tried to alter the profile to push out a different password and to push out no password, but the the new settings do not copy over to the Ipad when connected via usb cable.
Any ideas?

You can try to reset and configure the iPad as a new device.
Have a look at recovery mode and DFU mode.

What can I do if the master password has been forgoten?

is there a way to reset it?

Installing SSL certificate Windows Server 2012R2 RDSH servers

Hello,
I'm currently in the final fase of installing an functional Remote Desktop (Windows Server 2012R2) environment. The only problem i have, which i try to complete several days now without any luck, is the installation of our WildCard SSL certificate on de
Remote Desktop Session Host servers (farm).
We have 1 gateway server which is also the connection broker. On this server i have installed (using the Deployment Properties of the Session Collection) the certificate on all available levels. But still, when i try to connect to our Remote Desktop Servers
i get the automatically created certificate from the Remote Desktop Session Host servers. The certificate works for all the other functions (gateway etc.)
The servers are joined to the domain, and the wildcard certificate = *.zon-ict.nl.
Below the screenshot of the deployment settings.
Can someone point me in the right direction for installing the certificate on the RDSH servers?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Basic requirements for Remote Desktop certificates:
1. The certificate is installed into computer’s “Personal” certificate store.
2. The certificate has a corresponding private key.
3. The "Enhanced Key Usage" extension has a value of either "Server Authentication" or "Remote Desktop Authentication" (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.54.1.2). Certificates with no "Enhanced Key Usage" extension can be used as well.
Please follow beneath article for details.
