ADTD for Server 2012

The Active Directory Topology Diagrammer is not compatible with Server 2012. Is there an equivalent tool that is designed to work with 2012?

ADTD can collect information from Windows Server 2012 DCs.
To run it, you can simply use a Windows 7 computer or a Windows Server 2008 R2, The list of supported systems is mentioned here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13380

HP Officejet Pro 6830 Scanner drivers for Server 2012

Printer: HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer
Serial Number: [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
Product Number: E3E02A
Email Address: [edited email by moderator]
Operating System: Windows Server 2012
I have an issue when trying to install the printer and scanner driver on Server 2012. The driver on the website for Server 2012 is 32Bit link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4138&lc=en&cc=za&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5390...
And the drivers that came with the printer give the following error: "This computer does not meet the following system requirement(s): The Operating System of this computer is not supported."
Have phoned HP on the support line all they do is give me a different phone number to phone.
Please someone help.

Hi @Mark-active
Although my area of expertise is with consumer products and software, not commerical products such as servers, I do have something that might be helpful; Setting Up the Printer on Windows Server 2003, 2008, or 2012 for HP Officejet Printers.
If the issue you are experiencing persists, I suggest giving us a call. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.

Coldfusion support for Server 2012

When are installers going to be made avaliable for Server 2012 for Cold Fusion?.
Adobe have offically said that installers for windows 8 are 3-5 months away as of September 22nd, 2012 but we havent heard anything about Server 2012?
Server 2012 was released to MSDN on the 4th of Sepetember. 4 Months seems a long time to wait with no word on installers or support for CF on Server 2012. Are you telling me Adobe doesnt have a MSDN account and only got access to Server 2012 at the same time as the generaly public?

Unfortunately we are all paying the price for Oracle deferring the end of life of Java 6 from November to Feb. It sounded like Adobe were going roll all this stuff into their patch to add Java 7 support to CF9 and CF10, which they would have needed to get done by Nov. However now it seems they've slacked off and have left it to the last minute. I guess the good news is that this should all be done within the next month or so. The bad news is... it won't give us much chance to test the new release between when Adobe patch CF and before the Java 6 EOL.

MS Security Essentials for Server 2012 R2

I've had MS Security Essentials installed on my Server 2008 R2 Foundation, but now that I've upgraded to 2012 R2 Foundation, MS Security Essentials won't install. It gives an error message saying that it won't run on this computer.
I've searched for a replacement, but my searches yield ONLY results for Server 2012 R2 Essentials, and NOT Security Essentials. Is there a replacement for MS Security Essentials, and if so, how/where can I find it???
Capt. Dinosaur

Hi,
I agree with Ed that Microsoft Security Essentials is designed for client machines.
I have seen forum threads that indicating it is running well on Windows 2008 machines, still, it is not supported.
Here are some references below for you:
Microsoft Security Essentials, but for Windows Server 2008?

How can I know if my CAL license is valid for server 2012

Hi everyone,
I have a domain where all the server are Windows Server 2008R2, Due to certain progams that are about to enter the organization I have to deploy several new servers that will run server 2012R2 and possibly upgrade a few existing ones to 2012R2 as well.
That is however not the problem.
I recently found out the remote desktop servers that run the RD licensing role, Don't serve windows server 2012, but if I deploy a new RDS with server 2012 R2 it can serve both my old 2008 R2 servers and my new 2012 R2 servers. First I'd like to know if
it's correct and if any of you have tried that in the past. Furtner, I need to know if the CAL license that's installed on my 2008 R2 server is valid for 2012R2 servers as well, is there a way to find that out?
Hoping for a quick response.

Hi David,
You are correct, a 2012 R2 server can license your 2008 R2 servers, but your 2008 R2 CALs will not work to license connections to 2012 R2. A good wiki here...

Server 2008 R2 with WSUS need to specify location for Feature install for Server 2012 and Windows 8

Having a problem where we need to add .net 3.5, amongst other things, in server 2012 and windows 8.1. We're using WSUS on server 2008 R2, so when I go to add roles or features, I'm not able to as it tries to use Windows Update but it's set to use WSUS.
I'm aware in server 2012 gpo's that you enable the policy 'specify settings for optional component installation and component repair' in Administrative Templates>System, however that setting is not available in Server 2008 R2.
I've downloaded the templates from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36991 but the setting is still not there.
Any suggestions on how to do this/allow feature install with Server 2008 R2?

Hi,
To upgrade the Administrative Templates, please run the downloaded msi file, then copy the needed admx files and adml files to the PolicyDefinitions folder.
For detailed information, please refer to the link below,

I have narrowed this issue down to .net 3.5 install.
I have boot, efi, sources, support, autorun, bootmgr, bootmgr.edi, and setup.
I have confirmed that the sxs folder is there.
I also just added WindowsSource=%DeployRoot%\Operating Systems\Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERSTANDARDCORE x64\sources\sxs to my customsettings and updated the boot iso. I am still receiving the errors.
One last bit of information I am able to get to the deployment share with the sxs folder in it from the reference machine I am creating but when I manually try to install .net 3.5 from roles and features to the share it fails. But if I copy the files local
they work fine.
I seem to have permission issues with other subfolders also.
Thanks,
Anthony

How do I deactivate a license key for server 2012 r2 essentials

I bought a retail version of server 2012 r2 essentials to upgrade my 2003. I found my software is not compatible with "essentials" and it
is compatible with "Standard". Now I am buying a retail standard edition. My buddy is interested in the "essentials" for his server.

Strange... Server Essentials IS Server with some add ons. What tells you it will not work? Or is support for your program just balking?
As for your bud... let him call MS if it does not activate and explain a hardware failure. They will give him a new key... but it should not be necessary for the second install attempt.

Getting Client Name in Remote Desktop Manager for Server 2012 R2

Remote Desktop Manager appears to have been replaced or moved in Server 2012 to Server Manager. It doesn't really matter to me where this is located, however I don't seem to have all of the features that were in Remote Desktop Manager (2008 R2). The biggest
one that I need is to be able to tell what computer each RDS user is logged in from. We use this quite often so we can remote into that users computer for troubleshooting.
Does anybody know how to obtain this information in Server 2012 R2? If it's not possible in Server Manager, can it be done with Powershell? A 3rd party application?
So far the only way I have been able to do this is if there is still a 2008 R2 server on the network. I can log into it and use Remote Desktop Manager to connect to the 2012 R2 server. Since a 2008 server can still obtain this information for a 2012 server
there must be a way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance!
Tom

Hi Tom,
In addition, the PSTerminalServices PowerShell Module might help.
https://psterminalservices.codeplex.com/releases/view/65937
You can run Get-TSSession in PowerShell.

As you see, the mbn command is added from the "WWANCFG.DLL" , there is a command "netsh add helper <dll name>"
I couldn't find the WWANCFG.dll on my windows server 2012 R2 box, how can I add/download/install/register this dll?
What are the dependencies of the WWANCFG.dll? are there any other dlls that need to e registered?
Thanks for your help

Trying to setup a redundant server for server 2012

have some questions regarding creating a backup for an all in one server. The server has active directory, DNS, the file server and everything on it. I'm trying to create a redundancy setup in case of failure. So I was reading about failover clusters
and this seem to be what I need to do. I'm just a little bit confused. What is the difference between using hyper V and using clusters?
When I create a cluster and add servers to it, what exactly happens? For instance simplest case I have the main server with all the data. Now I bring in another machine with nothing on it. I install windows server 2012 on it and add it and the other computer
to a cluster. Does the data from the main server automatically get copied onto all the servers that are part of this cluster? At this point if one server fails will the other one take over?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can think about Hyper-V cluster Vs. generic cluster like Hyper-V is a beehive of an independent clusters :)
You need to install Windows Server 2012 R2, enable Hyper-V role, virtualize all workload (keep all tasks inside separate set of VMs, don't run anything inside parent partition and don't use multiple roles either) and configure guest VM cluster (make sure
you use shared VHDX for that).
Data is not copied, you use shared storage and control gets passed to another VM running on another physical host. That would provide you smallest amount of downtime (if any). From the other point of view VM HA *would* have some downtime (VM reboots on another
physical host).
Some links for your interest (guest VM cluster, file server cluster, shared VHDX, shared storage for Hyper-V etc):

PowerEdge 1850 and PowerEdge 2550 Can either be used for Server 2012 R2 or Server 2012 Essentials?

I know these are NOT supported for S2012 by Dell,
However,
has anyone ever loaded either operating system on them, even just to test?

Hi,
I agree with Tim’s viewpoint. Meanwhile, please note the related installation requirements for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 Essentials. There are
two articles that you can refer to.

System Requirements for Windows Server 2012 Essentials
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200132.aspx
In addition, follow Tim’s thought. There is also a guide that will help you to install Windows Server 2012 in a Hyper-V.

Hope this helps.

Media Backup For Server 2012 R2

I have a home server running win server 2012 r2. It runs scheduled backups of my hdd with OS which is good, but I would also like to backup my music, videos and pictures as well. I see that the
OS is backed up into dat files amung others which is fine, but is there a way to backup my media files in their actual extensions (.mp3, .png etc)?
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that you would like to "copy your media files to another location as a backup".
If this is correct you can simply create a schedule task and run a robocopy command line to help copy all these files to another location. For example:
robocopy x:\folder \\win2012r2\folder /s

Recommended Free Antivirus for Server 2012?

Short story, found out that Server 2012 doesn't have a antivirus that comes with it, I purchased MSDN subscription a while back when it was released and installed it as a desktop and been using it without issues.
I need suggestions on a free based antivirus that's not the System Center or Endpoint thing I've read searching the forums, seems like you have to pay for it and MSDN subscription (the one I have) doesn't cover it for download.
So basically if you guys know of any free/personal use antivirus I can install on Server 2012, much appreciated.

Found a good article here:
