CAL requirement for AD RMS Windows 2012 R2

Do we need to install RMS CALs on RMS server or they are just required for compliance ?

Hi,
the client access license for RMS is a paper-license. You do not have an actually product key you need to install.
So that is what I think you called "for compliance".

Minimum/Recommended Hardware Requirements for DHCP on Windows 2012 R2

Hello,
I am in the process of building two VM's on Windows Server 2012 R2 in-order to run DHCP with Failover.
Before I build my VM Servers I would like to know if there are Recommended Hardware specs that these servers should be built with?
I've been looking around for a little while and can't seem to find anyone or anywhere that these requirements are posted.
Any help would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks,
André

Totally agree with Henrik that DHCP is a very lightweight application and does not require much hardware. In fact, it is often deployed as another role on a Domain Controller. The thinking there is that the DC is something you want to have available
all the time, just like DHCP and DNS. Why not put them on the same box.
My only difference in suggestion about hardware recommendations would be to use the 2012 recommendations instead of the 2008 recommendations, though they are pretty much the same -

Is CAL required for SharePoint Foundation 2010?

Is extra CAL required for uploading/downloading docs using SharePoint Foundation 2010? We already have Licensed Windows Server 2008 R2. Ours is an intranet application which will be accessed by 400 intranet users.
If CAL is required then can i use only 1 CAL for my app server to upload/download docs on SP Foundation provided all 400 client requests will go via app server to SP server?

If I want to use sharepoint foundation 2013, I need to have Windows server 2008 R2 / 2012 license & SQL server license (optional). I'm confused in - what kind of windows server license is required & do I also need some other license to use sharepoint
foundation?
How can I provide external user access to my sharepoint environment? Is there any requirement of any other license also?

Advice required for a wpf window used for survey?

I am developing a wpf desktop application which contains a survey form. Survey form includes bunch of radio buttons. at the end, i want that survey form to be converted in to pdf with the similar layout as in the window of application as shown in the fig:
I want your expert opinion what should be best for me and user in the following options?
I should convert the window to xps or pdf OR
i should just skip window and make a similar pdf layout that can be filled by user during survey using adobe reader pro and show it to user(In that case, we wont need to convert
anything, it will already be in pdf). OR
I should just take the snapshot of the survey window and then compile it in a pdf form.
Extra:
I have already written all the radio buttons information to a text file. Initially.Initially i thought that user should save the information and then he can read it from a text file but that's unprofessional. I tried to make a flow document but its very hard
to make layout in Flow document. I tried PdfSharp, it was helpful but then there was document in pdfSharp where user will fill a pdf. So i got confused. Any further suggestion on this matter will be appreciated. Thanks

There is no built-in feature that enables you to convert a window or a control to a PDF in .NET nor WPF so you will have to use some third-party tool to be able to this. Note that you should not ask questions about third-party software in these forums though
as they are intended for Microsoft's products and technologies only.
Please refer to the following thread for an example of how you could convert a WPF control, such as for example the root panel (Grid, StackPanel or whatever you are using) to an XPS document:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/502198/convert-wpf-xaml-control-to-xps-document.
Using the approach mentioned in the link above you could just take "a snapshot" of the panel that contains the radio buttons and save it to an XPS document.
Creating interactive user intefaces as a PDF in Adobe Reader Pro doesn't sound like a good idea and converting an existing PDF into a WPF GUI doesn't either. Then you probably better stick to your window with radio buttons and then convert the result into
an XPS document. Or you could save the content of the Grid, StackPanel or whatever to an image and then use some third-party sofware to generate a PDF file from the image if you necessarily want a PDF output:

What are the system requirements for iTunes on Windows?

Hi everyone,
I am using a very capable workstation to run iTunes. It is a Dell T5600 workstation with a Xeon E5-2667, 16GB of RAM, and a GeForce 560 Ti, W7 Pro x64, and my system drive is an SSD. This is a very expensive ($4K+), powerful workstation that doesn't sweat very often.
However, iTunes runs like molasses on this system. Just like every Windows system I've ever used it on. Scrolling through albums is chunky and jerky. Clicking on the upper-left-corner's "Music" tab, to produce the Music/Movies/TV-Shows dropdown, takes a perceptible amount of time.
So, clearly I need to upgrade this system in order to run iTunes acceptably.
What kind of Windows machine does Apple recommend that users purchase in order to have a responsive experience using iTunes?
What kind of Windows systems are the iTunes developers using to test on?
(I am also using iTunes Match.)

Good questions. My library is not too large (8,514 songs). But most of that data is stored in iTunes Match. Very little of it is local. However, they must cache some sort of table-of-contents locally so that browsing can perform acceptably. The system isn't waiting for network data when browsing, that's for sure.
(Since it is using an SSD, a disk defragmenter is unlikely to help).

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.

Requirements for similar hardware in a 2012 Hyper-V failover cluster?

Simple question:
How similar does the hardware have to be on the host servers in a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V failover cluster?
We have 6 dell servers that we are hoping to use for building a Windows 2012 Hyper-V cluster.
As I recall from our existing 2-host Hyper-V cluster, which is running on 2008 R2, there are fairly harsh demands in the cluster validation wizard with regard to similarity of hardware. So I am wondering if it will work?
The servers in question are 3 x R620, 2 x T410 and 1 x T610 Dell servers. So 3 x 12th generation servers and 3 x 11th generation servers
The servers all use Intel CPUs:
R620: Xeon E5-2670/2680
T410/610: Xeon X5650
and broadcom NICs:
T610: Broadcom 5709c
2 x T410: Broadcom 5716c
3 x R620: Broadcom 5720
Windows 2012 is supported by Dell on all the servers.
Shared storage will be on an SMB3 file share.

Shared storage will be on an SMB3 file share.
You'll be fine with a listed config no need to have identical machines. The only thing I'd try to change is use the same NICs all-around if possible.
P.S. Make sure you understand SMB share is a single point of failure unless SoFS or "old skool" NAS failover is configured. But it adds latency so using shared storage
directly w/o a file transport is FASTER and CHEAPER.

What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following end points are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?

Hi All,
What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following clients are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?
Client Type
Port range and Protocol required for Audio
Port range and Protocol required for
Video
Port range and Protocol required for
A/Vconferencing
Windows Desktop Client
Windows mobile App
Iphone
Ipad
Andriod phone
Andriod Tablet
MAC desktop client
Please advise. Many Thanks.

Out of the box, 1024-65535 for all of the client ports. :)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
You'll want to tune your client ports a bit
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx as seen here, and then the client ports would use those ranges which is easier to set QoS markings. I'm not sure the mobile clients respect that setting.
Elan's got the best writeup for Windows clients here:
http://www.shudnow.net/2013/02/16/enabling-qos-for-lync-server-2013-and-various-clients-part-1/
However, the marking of the packets is the tricky part. Windows can do it via Group Policy, but for the other clients you'll need to have the network specifically prioritize ports regardless of DSCP markings. You have to do it based on ports
as the traffic could be peer to peer.

Which Edition of Windows is required for using SQL 2012 Always On Availability Groups

I want to use the new feature of having 2 secondary mirror replicas. the first secondary replica will be sync the second one will be async.
Currently I have SQL Enterprise license and Windows 2008 R2 Standard license.
Will I be required to upgrade to Windows Enterprise license to use Always On? (since this feature depends on Windows clustering?)
Can you please confirm if SQL Always On feature can be used on Windows 2008 R2 standard or not?
MSDNStudent Knows not much!

Always On is available with Standard Edition but it supports only 2 nodes.
AlwaysOn is a bigger umbrella which covers two features. AlwaysOn Availability Groups (AG) and AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instance (FCI).
FCI for 2 node is supported. You can't use AG feature in SQL Server Standard Edition

Windows 2012 RDS CALs - OLP NL downgrade to Windows 2003 TS CALs

Hi,
Hope someone can shed some light on this inquiry
I plans to purchase the following:
2x Windows 2014 SQL STD 2 Core License OLP NL
30 Windows 2012 RDS CALs (User or Device) OLP NL
           Breakdown example
            Site A = 10
            Site B = 5
            Site C = 15
Existing servers are Windows 2003 R2 STD running Terminal Services
Tried setting up a Windows 2003 R2 TS Server and install TS Roles & Licensing Manager
Questions.
1. When I tried to add Windows 2003 TS CALs - OLP NL, the activation screen requires to enter the Authorization & License numbers.
Can I use the Authorization and License number of the newly purchased Windows 2012 RDS CALs on the Windows 2003 TS Server?
2. Should I get a separate Authorization & License number per site? (In the example above 3x Authorization & License numbers). Or can we use a single Authorization & License number for all sites? Each site is independent from each
other.
3. As I understand, SQL 2014 can be downgraded to any prior previous version at the same editions. (as far as SQL 2000, provided he has the installer), If client has an existing SQL 2003 STD activated already, does he need to change the license key?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
Yes, you can use newly purchased server 2012 RDS CAL on server 2003 terminal server.
RDS and TS CAL Interoperability Matrix
For detail regarding the licensee issue I suggest you to contact MS Volume Licensing.
As per my research, I think you don’t have to change the old license key if client already have the key. And in regards to SQL server you can have a look over beneath article.
SQL Server 2014
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Windows Multipoint Server CAL requirement

Hello,
I have to do an installation of Windows Multipoint Server 2011 Premium. By default it comes with 20 users access for Remote Desktop. My query is should I have CAL'S for first 20 users or is it free with base server licensing. And what if I have to add more
than 20 users for Remote Dekstop.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
on the Microsoft Product Use Rights(PUR) is mentioned that for using Multipoint Server Premium, you Need MPS CALs+windows Server CALs.
only with this exceptions:
CALs are not required to access server software running a Web or HPC Workload.
CALs not required for access in a Physical OSE used solely for hosting and managing Virtual OSEs.
Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 Connector:
You may install and use the Windows Server 2012
MultiPoint Connector software on any device that is licensed to access Windows Server 2012. You may use this software only to access the MultiPoint Server software.
If you access the server software from this device solely to use the MultiPoint Dashboard you do not need a MultiPoint Server CAL.
thanks

Query for exact item name for CAL required

Hi,
We are e-businessoft, reseller for Microsoft softwares.
One of the customer has recently purchased windows server and now wants to purchase some user CALs. Few users will do mstsc of WinServer from within the
premises and few customers will do the mstsc from remote location, a different city. Remote user will login via internet connection into the LAN and then do mstsc
of WinServer.
Please tell me exactly what products has to be purchased to facilitate this. I have suggested the below:
1. WinSvrCAL 2012 SNGL OLP NL UsrCAL
2. WinRmtDsktpSrvcsCAL 2012 SNGL OLP NL UsrCAL
If this is correct, then please guide on how exactly this works? For example, The user doing mstsc from within premises requires item 1 only and users doing mstsc
from different city requires item 2 only, or both 1 and 2 is required in both case.
The terminal server services gives a countdown of 120 days from date of installation and ultimately expires and all connections thru mstsc stops. And then the
server is reinstalled. So one major concern is whether purchase of these CALs will stop this inconvinience for ever?
Please reply asap. CAL requirement is very urgent but can not proceed unless this clarity comes from you.

Hi,
Resellers should contact MSFT Partner Support for assistance.
In general, the scenario you describe requires both Windows Server CAL and also RDS CAL for each user/device.
This is because an RDS/TS CAL is required for correctly licensed use of RDS/TS, and in addition, because RDS/TS is used to gain access to Windows Server services/features, a Windows Server CAL is also required.
(there are different scenarios which may apply, depending upon the edition of Windows Server being used, and also, it may be less expensive, depending on the size/scale of the scenario, to instead consider CAL Suite options)
(also, note that if the Windows Server is offering MS Office, that requires Office licensing to be addressed. Also consider if the RDS/TS will allow the users/devices to consume MS Exchange or MS SharePoint or MS SQL, additional CALs for those products may
be required)
