Best Practices for Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2 for VM Performance

Good afternoon,
I've been told that VMWare has written a document or article on how to get the most performance out of an instance of Server 2012 R2 as a virtual machine. I was told this magical article has things like a checklist of features or services that can be turned off (such as tablet features) that will increase the performance/low overhead on the VM.
Can anyone help me find such an article?
Thanks,
Johnathan

Hello there,
There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2.  R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build.  Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server.  This will require additional hardware.  You
can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from,  restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2.

  • REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

    I am using a window 7 professional  service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but  the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
    on how to use it.
     Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional  service pack 1.
    Thank you.

    Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server.  I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd983943(v=ws.10).aspx
    Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
    But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do?  You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products.  In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

  • How to port forward in windows server 2012 ? for IIS

    Hi,
    I have windows server 2012 in AWS cloud (Public IP)
    Installed IIS 8 and running website in the port 8980 and its working fine (Public IP)
    My question is
    I have CNAME record in Godaddy in the name of example.com which is pointed to my PUBLIC IP ... its working fine. 
    But I want to know how to port the 80 request to 8980 in windows server 2012 thanks.
    Wes

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want that example.com(in Godaddy) to transfer corresponding queries(port and website name) to the website on WS 2012(in AWS cloud).
    Since your domain example.com is supported by Godaddy, I recommend you to contact the supporter of Godaddyand confirm that if their product supports port forwarding.
    In general, if you useWindows ServerInstruction, we may enable NAT(Routing and Remote Service) on network interface to redirect services/ports.

  • Laptop config for running Windows Server 2012

    Hello,
    For demo purpose I need to install Windows Server 2012 on a laptop, and some other 64 bits applications.
    Do you experiment a specific laptop which is running fine with this OS?
    For example I tried with Intel i5 and 16 GB RAM : Excel takes 10 min to load and most of the time it announces "Not responding". Same thing for all the other applications. I'm quite paralyzed in my job.
    Thanks for advises!

    Hi,
    I am not sure what is wrong with your setup, but Windows Server 2012 can run on laptop totally fine.
    Especially with your rig. Can you tell us did you do a fresh install of Windows Server 2012?
    I checked some pages (not to jump to conclusions myself), and I have found out that others didn't have any issues with the setup.
    These are the requirements (doesn't matter if it is a standalone physical machine or a laptop):
    Windows Server 2012 requirements
    Make sure your drivers are up to date.
    In this article you will see that the guy used a laptop on which he had Windows Server 2008 (lower config than yours), and it worked just fine:

    I know this exam goes as credit toward a windows server 2012 mcsa.  But, after passing it, will you be an mcp windows server 2012?  Or do you get any other designation from passing the test?

    You will have MCP, the next test will not get MCP unique for so you can download or view a page that contains all the tests you have passed (at the site
    microsoft.com/mcp)
    Of course after three tests you get MCSA, if you add two more will also receive MCSE.

  • Hardware Requirements for a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.

    Hi,
    I have a secondary office with 10 users with a domain controller that has reached its end of life.  We like to upgrade the current hardware to serve as a domain controller and potentially as an onsite file server that will sync with head office during
    off peak business hours.
    Any recommendations for a low cost yet reliable hardware for the above solution ?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    I think you need to meet the requirement for upgrading to windows server 2012r2.

  • Best practice to setup media server/central location for Itunes, Iphoto

    Hey guys,
    I currently have a Airport Extreme w/ two Western Digital My Books connected that have my Iphoto and Itunes Library.
    This is not ideal since copying things over the network is extremely slow and accessing the media(especially photo librarys) is super janky and leads to disconnects often.
    I am looking to revamp my setup. What do you guys recommend?

    Should I just get a Mac Mini and connect it to the Airport Extreme?

  • Best practices for setting up virtual servers on Windows Server 2012 R2

    I am creating a Web server from scratch with Windows Server 2012 R2. I expect to have a host server, and then 3 virtual servers...one that runs all of the web apps as a web server, another as a Database Server, and then on for session state.  I
    expect to use Windows Server 2012 R2 for the Web Server and Database Server, but Windows 7 for the session state.
    I have an SATA2 Intel SROMBSASMR RAID card with battery back up that I am attaching a small SSD drive that I expect to use for the session state, and an IBM Server RAID M1015 SATA3 card that I am running Intel 520 Series SSD's that I expect to
    use for Web server and Database server.
    I have some questions. I am considering using the internal USB with a flash drive to boot the Host off of, and then using two small SSD's in a Raid 0 for the Web server (theory being that if something goes wrong, session state is on a different drive), and
    then 2 more for the Database server in a RAID 1 configuration.
    please feel free to poke holes in this and tell me of a better way to do it.
    I am assuming that having the host running on a slow USB drive that is internal has no effect on the virtual servers after it is booted up, and the virtual servers are booted up?

    There are two issues about RAID0:
    1) It's not as fast as people think. So with a general purpose file system like NTFS or ReFS (choice for Windows is limited) you're not going to have any great benefits as there are very low chances whole RAID stripe would be updated @ the same time (I/Os
    need to touch all SSDs in a set so 256KB+ in a real life). Web server workload is quite far away from sequential reads or writes so RAID0 is not going to shine here. Log-structures file system (or at least some FS with logging capabilities, think about ZFS
    and ZIL enabled) *will* benefit from SSDs in RAID0 properly assigned. 
    2) RAID0 is dangerous. One lost SSD would render whole RAID set useless. So unless you build a network RAID1-over-RAID0 (mirror RAID sets between multiple hosts with a virtual SAN like or synchronous replication solutions) - you'll be sitting on a time bomb.
    Not good :)
    StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 - ALL HF's Failing to install as "Does Not Apply to this computer"

    Hi,
    A general question about hot fix installs.
    I have multiple servers that are all Windows 2012 R2. They do not have internet connections, so I have to install the Hotfixes manually. I download the HF's from the ISO download page (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/913086) every month. I collect them and install in a bulk install during a release cycle ( a couple times a year). I just realized that NO HF's have installed since JUNE 2014. Every HF that shows up in WindowsServer2012R2 directory fail to install with a message of "The update is not applicable to your computer". Which is fine if that was true, but.... I get this message for every HF from the ISO's since June 2014. NOT one HF thinks it is applicable to my computer. Could that be the case? No HF's apply to my Server 2012 systems since June of 2014?
    This is my system info, and below that is the results from attempting to install 95 HF's.
