Can Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

Hey,
I purchased Crystal Server 2011 in April 2013. Unfortunately, due to a heavy workload I'm just now ready to install it in a test environment. Will Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

If you update your CR Server to SP 5, then yest, it is supported on WIN 2012.
See the PAM.
To get SP5 you will have to loin to the SAP Market Service Place.

Problem installing Crystal Reports 2013 on a Windows 2012 R2 server

Sheesh. One of my users needs crystal reports and still uses it weekly. It's time to update off of an old 2003 server so I setup a new Windows 2012 R2 server so that she and others can RDP into it and use the application and reports (it's a payroll thing so they want limited access).
So - totally plain vanilla Windows 2012 R2 install. Then make sure I have all the .net stuff installed in the windows features.
But, whenever I run the setup.exe from the downloaded ZIP file from the sap store I get:
(1) "Assertion failure: A fatal error has occured which has caused the installer to quit. Please gather any %TEMP% and installer logs to present to your support personnel."
(2) Then followed by the message:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library -- Runtime Error! Programs: C:\install\CrystalReports\setup.engine\SetupEngine.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
(3) Then:

I can't find any information on this! I have found a similar message that refers to a 2011 install that was fixed with a SP9? But this machine has no current install. I did buy the full version two days ago online from the sap store.

There is an older C++ library that you need that is not available by default on Win 2012. You can get the install for this here:
Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update from Official Microsoft Do…
Also, be sure you're logged in with Administrator rights, the right-click and "Run as Administrator" when you run setup. You might also have to turn off the Windows Firewall when you run the install (you can turn it back on again after the install is complete.)

Running a .cmd file at startup using Task Scheduler on Windows 2012 R2 server

Hello,
I've recently tried to get a simple .cmd file running at server startup on my Windows 2012 R2 server.
The .cmd (test.cmd) file contains the following:
C:
cd C:\SomeFolder\
call Some.exe file "Argument1" "Argument2"
I've ensured that the local administrator user [someuser01] has full control of the C:\SomeFolder
I've also ensured that someuser01 is part of Log on as Batch Job
in Local Security Policy
To try running it as startup, I tried using Task Scheduler.
General Tab: I set the user (local administrator account [someuser01] ) and ticked the options
Run whether logged on or not, Do not Store Password, Run with Highest Privileges
Triggers: At System Startup, Ticked Enabled
Actions: Start a Program. Program/Script: test.cmd, Add arguments: [Blank], Start in: C:\SomeFolder
Conditions: Unticked all conditions
Settings: Ticked only the following --> Allow task to be run on demand, If the running task does not end...force to stop
Then I clicked OK and was prompted for someuser01's credentials.
I then restarted the server.
Upon logging in as administrator, I checked the task scheduler, and I found that the task did not run (Last Run Time: Never)
I've been able to run it manually (click Run on the task in Task scheduler) without any problems.
I just cannot get it to run at startup as I've instructed Task Scheduler to do.
Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?
Thanks.

Hello Dave Patrick,
I've also tried this approach and I came across this error after I try to enter someuser01's credentials:
An error has occured for the task sometask01. Error message: The following error was reported: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated..
After doing some research, this new error is caused by a setting in Local Security:
Local Security Policy --> Security Options --> Network Access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication --> Enabled
Unfortunately, I cannot disable this Security Policy due to our company's internal restrictions.
Just to clarify, the reason that the task does not run at startup is because of a logon failure because the password was not stored for
someuser01 ?
However, I cannot allow storage of the password because of our our company's internal restrictions.
Is there a possible workaround for this..?
Thanks!

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

Installing SharePoint 2013 in a Windows 2012 R2 Server I was getting the following error

Error: The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role.
Any expert please help?

Hi,
From your description, I know you get error when you install SharePoint 2013 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
If you have tried all method above. In your case, you have installed the Web Server(IIS), but the
Web Server (IIS) role installation may fail. You could try run commande: aspnet_regii -enable –i.

I would not do it... I mean hunting for Storage Server is pointless. For a reason: built-in restrictions make it unusable for anything else except storage management (what it was initially designed for).
(there are other important restrictions like being not able to be an Active Directory controller but they are irrelevant in the context of this topic)
Running more then 2 VMs is not supported. Having full-blown x64 server doing only storage and spending 1% of CPU time for that is... a bit questionable investment. System would be insanely resource over provisioned. Very bad ROI. See:

Windows 2012 storage server and tier with external SSD disks

Hi
My query is in case I have one SAN storage with SSD and FC disks connected to Windows 2012 storage server, will Windows be able to manage Tier between two types of disks if the volumes are properly assigned and formated?

Short answer: No, not automatically. Long answer: Yes, it can be done but with some tricks. First you'll have to make your SAN export LUs built from flash and from spindles. At least one of each (see URL below). Then you'll have to build storage spaces (even
clustered but that's not officially supported for non-SAS disks) from them.
See:
Configure Tiering with Windows Server 2012 R2
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/10/21/storage-spaces-how-to-configure-storage-tiers-with-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Both LUs would have non-SSD type reported so you'll have manually assign types with PowerShell what's flash and what's spindle.
"Notice that the SSD devices were detected as SSD media. However, in this case the physical drives show as unknown.
If yours are not detected like in this example, they should be set correctly which can be done using PowerShell. "
Hope this helped :)

I checked my IIS it is working fine.

Make sure you have the SharePoint 2013 with Service Pack 1 ISO. Pre-SP1 will not install to SP 2013, and you cannot slipstream it yourself.

Update config testsuite on 4.0.0_fixes branch to force kill the app server before running any tests when the app server is Tomcat. The regression runs were hanging on this branch when going to run the config suite because the Tomcat server isn't shutting down cleanly at the end of the MXUnit run. I believe this is an issue with the version of ActiveMQ we are using. Since I don't think we want to update ActiveMQ on this branch force killing the Tomcat server will workaround the problem.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried this on another machine running the same version of Blackboard. It works fine.
Only difference is that the machine that has the JVM crash is running on Fujitsu PrimePower and the OS is Solaris 9 (but twigged for PrimePower).
The one where it runs and starts up successfully is running on SunFire (OS is Solaris 10).
I am wondering if there is a problem with the JVM loading required libraries because of the OS being different versions.
Any leads on this is welcomed. Thank you.

Hon Peng

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

How can I connect 10.4 Mac to Windows Small Business Server 2003?

I have seen some other discussions touching on this topic and have tried the various solutions but am getting nowhere. I can't connect my iBook, which is running Tiger, to our office's server, a Windows Small Business Server 2003. I am the only Mac user and as a Mac devotee actually spent my own hard cash for the iBook. (I work for a non-profit with low funds.) Previously, when our office had a different server and I had Panther, I could access the server. Then it was purely an academic exercise, since I had no need to access the shared files. Now I have a project that requires this, and I am stumped. Our part-time IT consultant is also stumped. We have tried a lot of the suggestions from other posts, to no avail. I suggested to the IT guy that there could be a problem regarding the encryption of my password, and I think he tried that. We have tried various versions of the domain name. The server comes up in the list when I follow the "go--connect to server--browse" path, but we come up empty. We've gotten error message -36, a message that we are trying to connect an alias to something that can't be found, and a message that we don't have enough information to go any further (something like that). I am writing from my eMac at home, so I can't reconstruct the situation right now. I have found in my extensive internet search that Thursby has something called ADmitMac that is pretty expensive software ($119 for one person) that I could install on the iBook and could help me access the Windows Small Business Server 2003 without doing anything else to the server. Does anyone know if that would that work? Any suggestions would be so appreciated!
eMac and iBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have specific errors listed below:
Actually, I have been encountering similar problems. I have an end user who wants to connect to an SBS 2003 server, and can not connect/use RWW because the Active X will not work, cannot use the VPN in PPTP mode because Windows 8 disallows the connection
("Error 942: The connection could not be established because the authentication method used by your connection profile is not permitted for use by an access policy configured on the RAS/VPN server."), and cannot use an L2TP VPN connection because it requires
a certificate "Error 766: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSEC require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.". I attempted to utilize the SBS Connection Tool downloaded
from RWW, but it fails with a proxy error ("Unable to execute custom script (Configure proxy settings for IE). Required file could be missing." - likely due to the PPTP tunnel it tries to use). I went so far as to install the Enterprise CA on the server, installed
the Hotfix
(KB922706) so that the website could be accessed from Vista and above, and installed the requested certificate. The VPN fails to connect after
it times out and fails to negotiate a connection. This last one is "Error 789: L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer
encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer."
I have screenshots to share if anyone cares to see. I really just get the feeling that Microsoft is trying to kill SBS 2003 by ingoring it into oblivion.
The VPN works fine with Windows 7 clients by the way.

Can Crystal Reports reports run unattended?

Can Crystal Reports run in an unattended mode as in:
1) Being run by a batch process to produce a file for mailing
2) Being run within the scope of an NUnit unit test?

And if you Ido's solutions do not work for you, and he has been using CR for years and very familiar with CR products, and you have a Developer available you can write your own application or possibly look at using Crystal Reports Server which can handle all of this for you.

Windows home server 2011 Backup with PC Windows 8 Pro - Backup failed (Unsuccessful)

On the PC under Windows 8 Pro, Event message: Backup job 1 on HCGSERVER did not succeed. Reason: ClientVssProblem, System.String[]
Windows Operating System; Version: 6.1.8800.16385; ID: 514;
On the Server, following message:An error prevented backup from creating a snapshot of volumes on this PC
Could you help on this issue? Many thanks in advance

Your Win8 PC is likely to have come with UEFI and uses GPT hard disks, so you need to install a hotfix on the server to allow it to back up the client PCs.
There’s a separate fix for each server version:
SBS 2011 Essentials
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781270
Windows Storage Server 2008R2 Essentials
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781274
Windows Home Server 2011
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781272
Install the hotfix, reboot the server, and you should be able to back up the PC, although in my experience, you also need to exclude any partitions on the PC that don't have drive letters.

Nstalling Windows Home Server 2011 on a ProLiant ML350e Gen 8 Server (Nothing appearing in Operating System Selection During Install)

We just purchased Windows Home Server software that required a new server to be purchased. We went with the ProLiant350e Gen8 Server. IUpon starting up the new ProLiant server I booted from CD-Rom and got to the Windows Install program. I clicked "Install
A New Server" However, as soon as this page loads it gives me an error that says "Load Driver" "A required CD/DVD Drive Device Driver is Missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now." It gives
me the option to browse or click okay. Browse only brings up the (x:) Boot drive and VID. It doesn't find the driver in VID Than if I click okay it gives me a message that says "No Device Drivers were found. Make sure that the Installation media contains
the correct drivers and then click ok" I have tried to use smart provisioning but this fails as it cannot recognise the media from the DVD drive.
Thanks in advance,

You should use HP smart start DVD to install the Windows Home Server. If you are booting directly from the Windows DVD it would some times not detect the drivers because of the hardware compatibility issue. You should contact the the vendor and seek help
from him.

On Windows 2012 Terminal Server Outlook fails to connect to Exchange 2013

I have a new install of Windows 2012.  I have two physical servers. One is a W2012 std Domain Controller ("DC"). The Second is configured as W2012 HyperV  ("HV"). Under HV I have
two VMs. One VM is W2012/Exchange 2013 ("ExchVM) and the other is W2012/Terminal Server ("VMTS"). All systems are behind a firewall appliance. Exchange is working via Outlook and OWA internally and externally. The self
created SSL must be installed manually on external machines since it comes up as an untrusted certificate. Once installed remote outlook works and OWA works. I have configured the terminal server and I am able
to login remotely as various users under my "TS group". The problem is when ever I attempt to open Outlook for the 1st time, it fails to connect to the exchange server.   (Open Outlook 2013, click next
on the splash screen, "Yes" Add an Email Account splash screen, click next, Auto Account screen populates NAME and Email Address correctly, click next, Searching for mail server settings..., check on establishing network connection, check on searching
for alias@ domain, then fails the logging on to the mail server) The error reads: "Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The
connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."   I am connected in RDS from offsite, and from the RD session I can access shared folders on ExchVM and DC. I have
tried have verified the server Exchange server name is correct via "Get=ClientAccessServer" command. I have also tried to use the guid via "Get-Mailbox
ALIAS | fl name, exchangeguid. Keep in mind all desktop users on the network are connecting to Outlook without issue.
I would appreciate any thoughts on solving this issue.

Hi,
According to your workaround, it seems that the Outlook Anywhere configuration in Outlook client is not correct when using the Autodiscover service.
Once you connected to Exchange server by manually settings, please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration tool in external Outlook client to check the autodiscover service:
open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar - Test Email AutoConfiguration. Put your email address - uncheck use guessmart and secure guessmart authentication - click Test to check your Autodiscover service.
Please check the Log tab and confirm whether the Autodiscover service is connected successfully. Also confirm if the connection issue happens to all external users when they open Outlook for the 1st time. In Exchange server, please make sure
autodiscover.domain.com has been included in your Exchange certificate which is assigned with IIS service.
