After installing Windows Server 2008 DATA CENTER stuck on blank screen and command prompt window

After a new fresh install of Windows Server 2008 Data Center I get this solid blue screen with a comand prompt window showing (user\Administrator) I have limited use of the commands, am able to bring up the task manager by CTL Del and perform limited functions.  I was able to run the same software on this machine before, nothing has changed.  The way I ran the software on it before was from an image I deployed to it,(not from a fresh install).  The old image timed out and I could not rearm it, that is why I did a fresh install. I tried to use gpedit.msc but the command did not work.

You may be using Windows with limited functionality as the previous version expired. Did you re-format the drive/partition before you did the "fresh" install if not Windows probably kept the old install information so knew that it was expired previously. Either activate Windows (try typing slui.exe and filling in the product key and activate - then restart the machine) or re-format the drive/partition that Windows is on and re-install Windows again.

  • Cannot install SQL Server Native Client 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Data Center

    Is it possible to install SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (SQL Server 2012) on Windows Server 2008 Datacenter?
    I tried to install it, but I get this error message:
    "Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
    Based on this article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356.aspx), I see one of the supported operating system is Windows Server 2008.

    Hello,
    Can you try to download and install Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 from the following link, and then reinstall the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 again?
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=16468
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012  Native Client is included in the SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack. Based on the requirement of
    the download page , you should apply SP2 for Windows Server 2008.

  • Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) doesn't create thumbnail (bitmap) using Microsoft Interface IExtractImage -- Extract on Windows Server 2008 R2, when exe to generate thumbnail is launched from Windows service.

    Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) doesn't create thumbnail (bitmap) using Microsoft Interface IExtractImage --> Extract on Windows Server 2008 R2, when exe to generate thumbnail is launched from Windows service.
    But if exe is launched as standalone, then interface IExtractImage --> Extract, gives Bitmap to generate thumbnail of PDF document.
    Above problem occurs only for PDF documents, if we tried same with other software like CAD -CATIA it works without any problem.
    Is there any security concerns form PDF side, which doesn't allow to generate Bitmaps, if exe to generate it is launched form Windows service.

    It might be deliberate, Acrobat and Reader software is not intended to run in a service environment.

  • An ADO-based application that is compiled in Windows 7 SP1 or in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 does not run in earlier versions of Windows

    I have read many articles about this problem, but I can't really see where the solution is for me.
    I need to compile a Visual C++ program that uses msado15.dll. I have Windows 7 SP1 with Visual Studio 2010. I'm targeting Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2011.
    In the update text in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2011/10/03/yes-we-made-a-mistake-and-are-finally-going-to-fix-it.aspx, it says that the fix is published as the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2640696. But at other places I
    have read that you should not do this update and use the updated msado60.tlb file instead. Where can I find that file, or does it update from "Windows Update"?
    I found a "fixed" file called msado60_backcompat.tlb on a blog, after using it it works on WinServer 2003 and 2008 but not on Windows Server 2011.
    Any ideas how I should proceed to solve my problem?

    Hi flindbys,
    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
    Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss the VS IDE.
    If this issue is related to that blog provided by you, my suggestion is that you could add a comment
    here, I think you could get dedicated response there.
    In addition, I also found some information like the following contents:

  • After installing Yosemite my Imac just goes to a white screen and freezes, it has been there for almost 36 hours any ideas as to why it is taking so long?

    I have downloaded Yosemite from the App store and I attempted to upgrade from OS X 10.9.5. It is stuck on a white screen with a moveable mouse pointer but that is it. I can't get Command + L to work, so I can see any progress that is being made and I have tried to force boot it twice. Each time I force boot the machine I get a progress bar that goes about half way across and then just a blank white screen. I have read on some blogs that patience is the best procedure for this freeze but I have been waiting for almost 36 hours now and nothing is happening. One thing I want to mention is I have VMWare installed with a virtual machine of 300gigs, could this be the cause of the hangup? My 27inch IMAC is about 3 or 4 years old with a terabyte hard drive and 32gigs of ram. I have unplugged everything from the back except the network cable. Is about 36 hours reasonable for an upgrade? Is there a way to cut my losses and revert back to OS X 10.9.5?

    When you start your notebook press F8 to enter Advanced boot options.
    Is Repair my computer option available?
    If yes choose it and press ENTER. Follow the menu on the screen and when you will see System recovery options try to use System Restore option.
    Do you have some important data saved on your notebook?
    If not install OS again using HDD recovery option and after 2 hours you will have clean preinstalled OS and everything will be OK again.

    Hi Praveen,
    To fix this issue, you need to change the Identity of your website's Application Pool to use the
    NetworkService account (or the less secure LocalSystem account).  By default, IIS7 seems to set the Application Pools Identity to 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' instead of NetworkService or LocalSystem.
    Here's a step-by-step guide for determining your websites Application Pool, then changing its Process Model Idenitty in IIS7:
    1.Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manger.
    2.In the Connections sidebar, drill down into Default Web Site and click on your website.
    3.Now in the Actions sidebar (on right side), click on Advance Settings... In the popup box, under General you will see your Application Pool listed for your website (in my case the app pool is: ASP.NET V4.0).
    4.Click Cancel...  If you choose, you can change the Application Pool here, but for the sake of this example we just wanted to find out what the website's App Pool was.
    Then change the app pool's (Process Model) Identity to 'NetworkService', the steps are showed as below:
    1.Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manger.
    2.In the Connections sidebar, click on Application Pools.
    3.Now right-click on theApplication Pool that your website is using (in this case my site is using the ASP.NET v4.0 application pool), and select Advanced Settings... from the menu.
    4.In the Advanced Settings pop-up box, locate the Process Model -> Identity section and click on the Application Pool Identity.
    5.In the Application Pool Identity pop-up box, change the Built-in account to NetworkService (or if you want LocalSystem), then click OK, and click OK again to save your Advanced Settings changes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't log in as the Administrator on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello,
    I have a windows server 2008 R2 (DCSERVER) as the domain controller and about 10 Windows 7 Client machines on the network. I also have configured a WSUS server & File Server on this machine. Everything was working fine, until I added another Windows
    7 Machine to the domain. I couldn't login to the domain and got the error "the security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust". I looked up on Google and tried some tricks - mainly adding the
    attributes DNSHostName & ServicePrincipalName to the affected computer and the deleting the computer from the group
    (since the previous trick didn't work). 
    But after trying the above I observed that I can't login to my DCSERVER either. I get the same error - "the security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust" 
    Please help me fix this issue.

    Hi,

  • Best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear all,
    May I know what is the best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on windows server 2008 r2. Should I create a special account for windows for the oracle database installation? What permission should I grant to the folders where Oracle installed and the database related files located (datafiles, controlfiles, etc.)
    Just grant Full for Administrators and System and remove permissions for all others accounts?
    Also how should I configure windows firewall to allow client connect to the database.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Windows 8.1 RDP Issues with Windows Server 2008 Standard.

    I have an issue maintaining an RDP connection from 64-bit windows 8.1 (standard and pro) to 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard.  Initial connection is normal, and as long as I am constantly typing on the link, for the most part it stays up. However
    if I do not keep typing, or go to another desktop program for a few minutes, and then go back, the following happens:
    If I am typing into notepad (or some screen that does not require windows to be refreshed) I can continue to do so, so the connection has not been lost, however if I try to do something that requires more extensive exchange of information (like file
    - open, or even trying to pull up the start menu), the connection pauses with about half the screen refreshed, sometimes after about 30 seconds a bit more of the screen fills out, but otherwise the connection is not responsive. Then after about 2 minutes,
    RDP reconnects, at which point I am back to "normal".  I have conducted some tests and made inquiries of others attempting to connect to the server.
    1) I can connect to other Windows (servers 2008 R2 and 2012)  with no connection issues from this PC
    2) I can connect to the 32-bit server with no issues using Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 from the same location as the WIndows 8.1 PC
    3) When I do a network speed test while having these issues I see full download and upload speeds, so I am not experiencing intermittent internet issues.
    4) No-one else from other locations (not of course using Windows 8.1) has any issues using RDP to the 32-bit Windows Server Standard.
    These various tests seem to eliminate my network connection, and other operating systems, from the equation, and point to RDP issues on windows 8.1 connecting to the older OS.  I noticed in the September updates, a case 2989039 which seemed to point
    to similar issues when using UDP through Remote Desktop Gateway.  That update is on my machine, and my connection has the setting Automatically detect RD Access Gateway server settings.
    Any thoughts anyone?

    Hi  RonaldRenaud,
    If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
    Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.
    To resolve this issue caused by update 2989039, install update rollup 2984006. For more information, please refer to the following KB.

  • Window SBS server 2008 and window server 2008 R2 on the same domain

    Hi all,
    I am a person only work for linux system. Recently i work for my company that using microsoft technologie. So i have a lot of trouble. Could you please help me and below are my big troble that i have met:
    In my system, i have the first window SBS server 2008 run on our domain. However my organization growth up and we have more than 150 users and mailbox of exchange server 2007. So i do not want to use my sbs server 2008 anymore.
    I am going to install a window server 2008 R2 64 bit and join it into the same domain with sbs server 2008. It will be replicate the username, dns, OU and group policy...After that i will tranfer FSMO role to new server and i will demote then remove the
    sbs server.
    My boss say that i should not use this solution because window server sbs can not run with any other kinds of window server 2008 (R2, standard, enterprise...) and it will automatically shutdown the main server after a couple of days.
    Someone have experience can help me. I am so confuse now

    Maybe this will also help to better understand the steps involved:

    And remember, as long as you don't move the PDC to one of the new DCs, you can leave the SBS 2008 up indefinitely. But I would remove Exchange 2007 off it right away once I've migrated the mailboxes and public folders, otherwise
    you will get yourself into an Exchange coexistence scenario which is much more complex to configure and support because of the CAS differences, changing the URLs on the old one to "legacy.domain.com," getting a new UC/SAN cert with the correct
    names on it, and more. Believe me, you really don't want to coexist them. The only time I've coexisted Exchange versions is during large migrations, such as 500 or more. Otherwise, I just migrate the mailboxes over a weekend and get it done with.

  • Move to Windows Server 2008 R2

    I am testing the GroupWise migration from NetWare 6.5 SP8 to Windows Server
    2008 R2. I have copied the domain and post office directories to the Windows
    Server. The parent directory for both is a windows share. I ran the agent
    installation pointing to the new directories. I said to install as a
    service. I modified the POA and MTA objects to point to the new IP address
    and Database Platform for the Windows Server. I modified the Domain and Post
    Office objects to reflect the new directory path (using UNC). I go into
    Services on the Windows Server and attempt to start the MTA and POA. Both
    error out with error code 1053: The service did not respond to the start or
    control request in a timely fashion. This is a pretty standard MS error.
    However, according to MS that error is generated after some time (like 30
    seconds) that the service failed to load. In my case it comes back right
    away. What could I be missing?
    In ConsoleOne on an XP machine I attempted to change the domain database
    path for connecting to the GroupWise system and it says the path is not
    valid. After I mapped a drive to the windows share it let me specify the UNC
    path and I was in.
    I prefer to run the agents as a service vs. as an application. I double
    checked the startup files on the windows server and the /home switch does
    reflect the correct path. The MTA file also shows the correct "service name"
    for windows. BTW, the group Everyone has FC to both the share and the parent
    NTFS directory.
    Ideas?

  • Crystal Reports 10 Compatibility with Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello I'm a developer and I'm in the process of migrating my ASP.NET application that uses crystal reports 10 from a win2k3 server to a win2k8 R2 server.
    First of all, is CR 10 compatible with windows server 2008 R2?
    The application is up and running on the new server, the only thing that fails is the reports. I get the following error message:
    Error in file ....c:\windows\temp\{TEMP_FILE_NAME}.rtp
    Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine.
    This occurs at report.load(..)
    I did already grant NETWORK SERVICE access to Temp and ran the CR redistribute msi that came with Visual Studio 2008 - CRRedist2008_x64.msi.
    Please help

    YESSSS!!!! IT WORKS!!
    Finally, after days of installing, uninstalling, setting permissions, crawling through process monitor output.. I finally have it working.
    For anyone with the same problem, here's what worked for me:
    I had to use the 32-bit runtime
    set application pool to 32-bit
    grant the following permissions based on the different errors listed below:
    Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT
    - Give NETWORK SERVICE list permission on C: Drive, run a report, then remove NETWORK SERVICE from the list (weird, but works, and I had to do this every single time I setup Crystal Reports on a new computer so far).
    - You might also have to set correct permission on 'Temp' if u get still get this error.
    Error in file ....c:\windows\temp.rtp
    Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine
    - Grant correct permission to C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects (your path may vary)
    (For me it was giving Users Modify permission to Business Objects folder)
    Unknown Query Engine ErrorError in File C:\Windows\TEMP\.rpt:
    Unknown Query Engine Error
    - Switch application pool to 32-bit.
    - Make sure Crystal Reports Runtime is 32-bit (CRRedist2008_x86.msi)
    Thank you guys so much for all your help and sticking through this with me.
