Adobe Reader XI Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS Support

Hi all
Is the Adobe Reader XI on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Session Host supportet?
Thanks a lot

I'm assuming that you are looking for the place inside the GUI to start Remote Control of a usersession. On Windows Server 2008 R2 you could just right-click a user inside Task Manager and launch Remote Control. With Windows Server 2012
R2 Remote Control has been moved and is now part of the mstsc.exe. There are two ways to launch a Remote Control, either from the Server Manager GUI or using the commandline. I'm specifically referring to R2 because shadowing was not available
in Windows Server 2012, and got reintroduced (and improved) in Windows Server 2012 R2.
For all the options check out this blog post:

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

Hello,
We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
file.
I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

Hello Bria,
What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items:
User
Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Prevent access to specified drives in My
Computer
There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

Does windows server 2012 foundation ed. support sharepoint?

does windows server 2012 foundation ed. support sharepoint?

Based on the feature set, yeah it would support SharePoint 2010, but I wouldn't recommend it. Server 2012 Foundation must be a Domain Controller or in a Workgroup, neither of which are good scenarios for a SharePoint installation.

If someone can help me
Thanks !

Hi Ajlan,
To fix my problem, i uninstalled adobe reader X with "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool", rebooted the server, installed Adobe Reader XI and rebooted again.
For some users, this fix the problem but with some others i had to define Adobe Reader by default again.
I tried without use "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool" before and adobe reader X wasn't really uninstall.
Thanks,

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
Any other suggestions welcome!

I forgot to include the application event log entry for explorer.exe crashing:

Windows Server 2012 R2 Will Support for UEFI boot in WDS.

Hi
Currently we had issue in WDS while deploying the image via UEFI boot in the DELL Optiplex 3010. We already deployed the Windows 8 install image and boot image in the Windows Server 2012 R2. After selecting the Network boot its show Start PXE IPV4 and it
will immediately flicker and get back to Network Boot option. Any one please help me out of this.....
But the same is working in Legacy boot and it doesn't activate the Windows 8.

Hi,
As I cannot confirm the exact settings on your side, please see the suggestions provided in following thread:

Adobe Reader DC has errors and crashes with Windows Server 2012 R2

We recently installed Adobe Reader DC version of Adobe on our Windows Server 2012 R2 servers and are having issues since the launch. Few of the issues we have seen are as follows:
This version is a bit clunky and hangs.
Has a lot of pop-up boxes that appears each time I open a document.
Each time I open a document there is a Welcome pop-up box
It is a bit slow to respond between clicks
If I click on any options like File. The application hangs and then crashes. (see attached crash message)
Any help to resolve this would be helpful.
Thank you

I just had the same issue on a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop server. I fixed it by creating a registry key called Privileged under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC and then creating a DWORD value in that key called bProtectedMode and setting the value to 0. This was on a brand-new server that never had a previous version of any Adobe software on it.
This is a major kludge. Hopefully Adobe will fix it soon. By the way, here's the crash signature we were getting:

Adobe Reader on Windows 2012

I've run into the problem.
Adobe Reader X fails to start when installed on Windows Server 2012 with Remote Desktop Services installed.
Adobe throws a message that internal error occurred and then closes promt screen.
Adobe Reader X installed on 2012 without RDS installed works fine.
Can any one confirm this behavior?

Hi
No need to run in compatibility mode XP.
The only thing that needs to be configured is the protected mode.
Set this reg key in all RDS 2012 servers and adobe reader will work again

Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V - iSCSI SAN - All Hyper-V Guests stops responding and extensive disk read/write

We have a problem with one of our deployments of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V with a 2 node cluster connected to a iSCSI SAN.
Our setup:
Hosts - Both run Windows Server 2012 Standard and are clustered.
HP ProLiant G7, 24 GB RAM, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to Virtual Machines and Management, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage. - This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM, 1 NIC dedicated to Virtual Machines and Management, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage. - This is the secondary host that and is intended to be used in case of failure of the primary host.
We have no antivirus on the hosts and the scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched of.
iSCSI SAN:
QNAP NAS TS-869 Pro, 8 INTEL SSDSA2CW160G3 160 GB i a RAID 5 with a Host Spare. 2 Teamed NIC.
Switch:
DLINK DGS-1210-16 - Both the network cards of the Hosts that are dedicated to the Storage and the Storage itself are connected to the same switch and nothing else is connected to this switch.
Virtual Machines:
3 Windows Server 2012 Standard - 1 DC, 1 FileServer, 1 Application Server.
1 Windows Server 2008 Standard Exchange Server.
All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
Updates
We have applied the most resent updates to the Hosts, WMs and iSCSI SAN about 3 weeks ago with no change in our problem and we continually update the setup.
Normal operation
Normally this setup works just fine and we see no real difference in speed in startup, file copy and processing speed in LoB applications of this setup compared to a single host with 2 10000 RPM Disks. Normal network speed is 10-200 Mbit, but occasionally
we see speeds up to 400 Mbit/s of combined read/write for instance during file repair
Our Problem
Our problem is that for some reason all of the VMs stops responding or responds very slowly and you can for instance not send CTRL-ALT-DEL to a VM in the Hyper-V console, or for instance start task manager when already logged in.
Symptoms (i.e. this happens, or does not happen, at the same time)
I we look at resource monitor on the host then we see that there is often an extensive read from a VHDX of one of the VMs (40-60 Mbyte/s) and a combined write speed to many files in \HarddiskVolume5\System Volume Information\{<someguid and no file extension>}.
See iamge below.
The combined network speed to the iSCSI SAN is about 500-600 Mbit/s.
When this happens it is usually during and after a VSS ShadowCopy backup, but has also happens during hours where no backup should be running (i.e. during daytime when the backup has finished hours ago according to the log files). There is however
not that extensive writes to the backup file that is created on an external hard drive and this does not seem to happen during all backups (we have manually checked a few times, but it is hard to say since this error does not seem leave any traces in event
viewer).
We cannot find any indication that the VMs themself detect any problem and we see no increase of errors (for example storage related errors) in the eventlog inside the VMs.
The QNAP uses about 50% processing Power on all cores.
We see no dropped packets on the switch.
(I have split the image to save horizontal space).
Unable to recreate the problem / find definitive trigger
We have not succeeded in recreating the problem manually by, for instance, running chkdsk or defrag in VM and Hosts, copy and remove large files to VMs, running CPU and Disk intensive operations inside a VM (for instance scan and repair a database file).
Questions
Why does all VMs stop responding and why is there such intensive Read/Writes to the iSCSI SAN?
Could it be anything in our setup that cannot handle all the read/write requests? For instance the iSCSI SAN, the hosts, etc?
What can we do about this? Should we use MultiPath IO instead of NIC teaming to the SAN, limit bandwith to the SAN, etc?

Hi,
> All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
If this is a testing environment, it’s okay, but if this a production environment, it’s not recommended. Fixed VHDs are recommended for production instead of dynamically expanding or differencing VHDs.
Hyper-V: Dynamic virtual hard disks are not recommended for virtual machines that run server workloads in a production environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx
> This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
According to your posting, we know that you have Cluster Shared Volumes in the Hyper-V cluster, but why not distribute your VMs into two Hyper-V hosts.
Use Cluster Shared Volumes in a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612868.aspx
> 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage.
Use Microsoft MultiPath IO (MPIO) to manage multiple paths to iSCSI storage. Microsoft does not support teaming on network adapters that are used to connect to iSCSI-based storage devices. (At least it’s not supported until Windows Server 2008 R2. Although
Windows Server 2012 has built-in network teaming feature, I don’t article which declare that Windows Server 2012 network teaming support iSCSI connection)
Understanding Requirements for Failover Clusters
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771404.aspx
> I have seen using MPIO suggests using different subnets, is this a requirement for using MPIO
> or is this just a way to make sure that you do not run out of IP adressess?
What I found is: if it is possible, isolate the iSCSI and data networks that reside on the same switch infrastructure through the use of VLANs and separate subnets. Redundant network paths from the server to the storage system via MPIO will maximize availability
and performance. Of course you can set these two NICs in separate subnets, but I don’t think it is necessary.
> Why should it be better to not have dedicated wireing for iSCSI and Management?
It is recommended that the iSCSI SAN network be separated (logically or physically) from the data network workloads. This ‘best practice’ network configuration optimizes performance and reliability.
Check that and modify cluster configuration, monitor it and give us feedback for further troubleshooting.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

Is office 2010 officially supported on windows server 2012 R2

hello,
can someone tell me if office 2010 is officially supported on windows server 2012 R2 RDS?
This link only talks about Windows server 2012 not R2.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
I successfully installed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 on Windows Server 2012 R2 before in my testing environment.
So yes, Office 2010 is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.

It's recommended to download and install

Support for SharePoint Foundation 2010 on Windows Server 2012 R2

I have located an article that states that SharePoint Server
2010 is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2724471
However, I deal with a large number of farms that are based on Foundation. Honestly, I interpreted this article to mean both Server and Foundation were supported, but I'm receiving some resistance from consumers because there is no definitive statement
of support from Microsoft re: Foundation and the R2 o/s.
Does anyone know definitively whether foundation 2010 is supported on 2012 R2 or not? And more importantly, is there some article on the subject I can reference? (I've searched without success).
I suppose the conservative approach would be to assume it is NOT supported unless I can find information to the contrary.

I think there need to be other considerations than "because it sounds good" (which is what the 2012 R2 decision almost sounds like it boils down to). Rather, the consideration should be made of what best supports the application, what version of the OS is
widely used and known, what happens when we encounter new issues due to using a newer OS that is less used with this application?
At least, that would be my argument. Same reason I would not deploy SharePoint 2013 to 2012 R2 when support arrives with SP1 -- 2013 with Server 2012 is a well known combination with many resources available for non-paid support.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials not listed in EasyStartup 3.8.1d for TS140

Recently purchased a TS140 (70A4 001RUS). Came factory installed RAID 1 with Windows Server 2012 Essentials pre-installed. Needed to reinstall, however:
- Windows Server 2012 Essentials does not show up in EasyStartup 3.8.1c DVD that came with server
- Downloaded latest EasyStartup 3.8.1d and created bootable DVD and ran with same result
- "Windows Server 2012" is listed (but not Essentials). Running this installation, it does not recognize the Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD that came with server. Continually asks to insert "Windows Server 2012" disk.
- "Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials" is listed (but not 2012 Essentials). Running this installation, it does not recognize the Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD that came with server. Continually asks to insert "Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials" disk.
- Have booted using UEFI, Legacy and Auto with no difference
- Ran lastest Firmware Updater v1.8.1013 - no updates listed as required
- Have updated BIOS to latest 70A
- Server will also not boot directly from Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD (dvd is set 1st in boot order in bios)
- Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD is readable on other machines - can copy to bootable USB key and run regular Windows installation on server (this is current workaround)
- using the above workaround, drivers must be installed manually.
- EasyStartup 3.8.1d Readme specificly lists Windows Server 2012 Essentials as supported on the TS140 in UEFI and Legacy mode here
As mentioned, the above workaround can work. However, this server may not always be maintained by myself and I would prefer the supplied software to acutally work properly for ease of use by others in the future.

I have several TS140s running WSE 2012 R2. Like you said, the easystart does not recognize properly the WSE R2 os, so I just did the basic from disc or USB install after I configured the boot drives or RAID1 array.
The main reason to load the easy start is for drivers, however WSE found and recognized all the hardware in the unit.
