Can I add windows 2012 R2 host to VMM 2008 R2?

We are running VMM 2008 R2 on Windows 2008 R2. When attempting to add a Windows 2012 R2 as host to VMM, I receive this message:
Error (2915)
The WS-Management service cannot process the request. Object not found on the mdnjdqgxd2.xxxx server.
(Unknown error (0x80338000))
Can I add windows 2012 R2 host to VMM 2008 R2? If yes, what could be the problem?

The VMM Server should never have the Hyper-V Role enabled.
The VMM 2008 can only be installed on 2012:

You need to look at the support matrix of the SCVMM version and the Hyper-V Server Version.

In this case it is beyond 'support' it is what actually will work.

Can I add a 2012 R2 server to a 2008 SP1 DFS?

I have a DFS system on a Server 2008Stnd SP1. I am adding a new VM Server 2012 R2 server at my data center. I want to add my 2012 server to the DFS and remove the 2008 server after it syncs. I will add a new 2012 server at my main site later. Can this
be done? Or can I add a new DFS using the 2012 server?

Yes you can.
You can add your Windows Server 2012 to current DFS replication group and remove the Windows Server 2008 after replication finished. However it is recommended to do a pre-staging instead of waiting for the initial replication as it will take a long time
if data size is large.
And creating new DFS namespace is also fine on that Windows 2012 system.

How to add Windows 2012 R2 RDS to Existing Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

I currently have a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server running and I am looking to add a Windows Server 2012 R2 server to it. All I see when I google the setup is only for Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS, cant find anything to integrate with a current 2008 R2 Terminal
Server.
Can anyone help with this or point me to a blog I possibly missed?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Yeah, agree with diramoh; as already commented. If you want user session from RDS Server 2012 R2 then you need to install RDS License role on server 2012 R2, purchase and install RDS CAL (per user or per device) according your requirement and then you
can use user session for server 2012 R2 and also for lower version.
But as you already have Server 2008 R2 RDS CAL, then with that you can simply access lower version but can’t manage Server 2012\R2.
For more information, you can refer following document.

Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Teaming options with Windows 2012 R2 Host for HV Guests

Hi
We are configuring Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers for Win 2008 / Win 2012 Guest servers. We have 3 NICs and using one for host management and other two in windows teaming. We read many blogs and supported configurations, but still not clear about
the options with teaming. Usually with teaming we select the default options such as Switch Independent Teaming mode, Dynamic Load Balancing mode with no standby adapter. Recently with this teaming configuration we faced issues with host servers on multiple
Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers (the guest hang multiple times) and when we removed one of the NICs from team it started working fine. With the switches we didn't find any issues nor with NICs. Is it because of the default team options? Should we go
with Hyper V port Load balancing mode?
Expect support from you guys. Thanks in advance

Can't add Server 2012 to existing domain

I'm getting this error:
"Verification of replica failed. The forest functional level is Windows 2000. To install Windows Server 2012 domain or domain controller, the forest functional level must be Windows Server 2003."
My forest level is set at 2008R2, per AD Domains and Trusts (on both the 08 servers and 2012). The forest was set at 2003 before, so I demoted the old 2003 server and raised it to 2008 with no luck, then went ahead and went to 2008R2.
The 2012 server (clean install, no upgrades) is already a member of the domain.
adprep /forestprep reports "forest wide information has already been updated"
Connectivity seems to be fine (ping, no firewalls) between the 2 08R2 DCs and the new 2012 server. Weird thing is all the AD tools are installed in 2012, and I can even create new domain users from it.

Hello,
You dont need manual schema upgarde for adding a new windows 2012 Domain controller. That is integrated with dcpromotion. Also you dont required the DCPROMO.
Set DFL & FFL minimum 2003.
See the below link for adding a 2012 DC for an existing domain.
Install a Replica Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller in an Existing Domain (Level 200)
As with previous versions of Windows Server, automated domain preparation for domain controllers that run Windows server 2012 does not run GPPREP. Run
adprep.exe /gpprep manually for all domains that were not previously prepared for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2. You should run GPPrep only once in the history of a domain, not with every upgrade. Adprep.exe
does not run /gpprep automatically because its operation can cause all files and folders in the SYSVOL folder to re-replicate on all domain controllers.
Still if you are facing issue. please upload the below outputs in skydrive & share us the link.

Still Error 2927 when refreshing Windows 2012 R1 Host

I have SCVMM R2 and the latest rollups. This issue is only occureing on a Windows 2012 (R1) server. I do not see these issues on Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012 R2.
I have looked at other forum posts with no luck such as: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/ccff7b77-6fc5-4c4b-bf71-a08a5076a3fd/action?threadDisplayName=error-2927-when-refreshing-host-cluster
I also have cranked up the MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser to no avail.
After I restart WinRM and SCVMM Agent, it is ok for a little while then the errors and "This service has exceeded its maximum of 100 concurrent operations per user allowed for plugin "WMI Provider" error begin again.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
According to the similar thread you have mentioned , and you have run the following command but still doesn't work ?
winrm set winrm/config/Service @{MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser="400"}
Could you please run command below with administrator privilege to list the current settings of winrm :
winrm get winrm/config
(By the way , did you restart the server recently ? )

Server 2012 Kms Host and Server 2008 r2 client.

I have deployed a Server 2012 Kms host.
Windows 7, and 8 are activating just fine, and Office 2010 is working.
The issue I'm having is activating Server 2008 and Server 2008 r2.
It seems I have missed a step that would allow me to activate those clients.
Can someone please guide me as to what possibly needs to be done to allow these clients to activate?

Hi,
The following steps are needed to set up Volume Activation Services in a Windows Server 2012 test lab:
1. Step 1: Set up the base test lab configuration
2. Step 2: Install the Volume Activation Services server role
3. Step 3: Configure Active Directory-based Activation
4. Step 4: Verify that Active Directory-based Activation works
5. Step 5: Configure Key Management Services (KMS)
6. Step 6: Verify that KMS volume activation works
At same time KMS volume activation requires
a minimum threshold of 25 computers before activation quests will be processed. The verification process described here will increment the activation count each time a client computer contacts the KMS host. However, unless the activation threshold
is reached, the verification will take the form of an error message rather than a confirmation message.

How can I add SCOM 2012 Alert Context within a SCOM Alert When using a cusom powershell script in a two state monitor?

Hello, we have a two state monitor and I would like to channel the Alert Context to Alert Description.
The powershell script being used to find the stopped services is pasted below:
$API = new-object -comObject "MOM.ScriptAPI"
$bag = $api.CreatePropertyBag()
$ServiceStatus = Get-WmiObject -class win32_service |where {$_.startmode -eq'Auto'-and $_.State -eq 'Stopped' -and
$_.name -ne 'wuauserv'}
if (!$ServiceStatus) #if there are no automatic services that are stopped, we are healthy.
write-host "good"
$bag.addvalue("State","good")
if ($servicestatus) #if there are any automatic services that are stopped, we are unhealthy.
write-host "bad"
$bag.addvalue("State","bad")
foreach ($service in $servicestatus) #enumerate the stopped services
$bag.addValue("$($Service.Name):","$($Service.state)")
$bag
$API.Return($BAG)
The results of the services that are stopped are being captured in the Alert Context”. How can I pipe the Alert Context to “Alert Description” to obtain a meaningful alert?
Alert Context data:
Property Name                              Property Value
State
bad
clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32: Stopped
clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64: Stopped
How can I pipe to Alert Description in SCOM 2012?
Thanks,
Kapil Dham
Kapil Dham

you don't need write-host
you should create
$bag.addvalue("ServiceName1","StateOK")
$bag.addvalue("ServiceName2","StateStopped")
and in alert description you will see
ServiceName1
StateOK
ServiceName2
StateStopped
So try $bag.addValue($Service.Name,$Service.state)
and $Data/Context/Property$

Can't Add 2 of 3 host clusters' C/SystemState drive etc to a Protection Group

I originally had my Cluster host servers added to one protection group and backing up at the same time, but this was causing some lag on the VMs due to the fact that all the hosts were being backed up as the same time. So I removed them from the existing
protection group and started to create three individual groups with different start times. Now on 2 of my Hyper-V Cluster servers when trying to enumerate, so I can backup the server itself not VMs, the MMC crashes when creating a new protection group
or trying to add to an existing group. This happens on two of three of my Hyper-V cluster Servers, the VMs are getting backed up successfully and all the rest of the servers enumerate or expand like normal. Here is the event ID that is recorded.
Removed and reinstalled agent on problematic server and there was no change. -- DPM 2012r2 RU5, Server 2012r2, Hyper-V 2012r2

I solved my problem and it was actually not difficult, just not very logical.
When you encountered the crash as mentioned above, try the following:
In the Select Group Members dialog:
Select the node that has the problem, but do not press the “+” sign to the left of it and don’t double click it.
Press the Refresh bottom, and wait for it to update the data source.
That solved the problem for me.
It’s still a bug, that it can crash the MMC!

Can't add Windows Live Mail store folder, as per l...

I used to be able to backup my Outlook Express store folder (on XP) to have an up to date copy of my email, but for some reason I can't do this with Windows Live Mail in Windows 7.
C:\USERS\logon\LOCAL SETTINGS\APPDATA\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS LIVE MAIL
(where logon is the user)
When I try to do this using the Add Folder option, it doesn't calculate how much space is required or anything. I navigate to the location and click on the folder, but it simply reverts to the windows that has the <add folder> button.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks..........ebt

You can't back up pst files to BT Cloud as they are dynamic, i.e. constantly being updated.
The same will apply to the Windows Live Mail folder.
You will have to either export it to a static type of file or a zipped file.
There is a section referring to this in the BT Cloud Help. I can't find the exact link but you can do a search, or someone may post the exact link.

Can't add Window setting to new topic

I am working on a WinHelp project created long ago (in version 6 or earlier--the first time through the numbers), and I'm now using version 8 (in the newer numbers) on Windows 7.
I created a new topic and on the Advanced tab, I selected a Window (the project has different windows for procedures, field descriptions, etc.). When I generated the help file, the topic does not have the window colors, but the content is there.
I also tried manually creating the > footnote by copying and pasting from another topic (the old topics display the colors, even those without a Window selected on the tab).
I will greatly appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,

Hi Gregory,
Looks like the site is still in trial (e-mail accounts/domains are not available in trial mode). You need to take 2 steps:
- Upgrade the site (from admin, top left corner, go to your partner portal, access the clients section, select your site, then access "Upgrade site" from the details panel on the right side of the page) by choosing a plan and entering your billing information
- Purchase a domain (be sure to link it to our own DNS: ns1.worldsecuresystems.com (192.150.2.143) - primary DNS server & ns2.worldsecuresystems.com (192.150.8.143) - secondary DNS server) then go to Admin > Site Settings > Site Domains > and add that domain.
You'll now be able to go to Site Settings > E-mail Accounts and set them up

Can I migrate physical hard disks in storage space from Windows 2012 R2 to Windows 2012?

Hi,
We have a Windows 2012 R2 server. It's running storage space with 10 hard disk in Parity mode. We would like to move the hard disks from Windows 2012 R2 server to Windows 2012, so that we can "free" our windows
2012 R2 server to do something else. Can we just unplug the hard disks in Windows 2012 R2 and hook it to Windows 2012 server without any data lose? If we can do it, what's best "formal" procedures to do it?
Thanks,
Tak

Hi Tak,
Storage space will be recognized in different servers (and even clients) which support.
If it is just a "Parity mode", you can turn off the computer, unplug and connect these disks to the new server directly.
If any Windows Server 2012 R2 new feature is involved, it may not work in Windows Server 2012 but it should not damage your data and you can still connect these hard disks back to original server.
However, backup important files is always recommended.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Upgrade of Integation Services (Windows 2012 R2) on Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG fails

Here is the scenario:
Legacy Host: Windows 2008 R2
Guest VM: Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG cluster.
After importing the VM (2008 R2 and Exchange 2013 DAG) into a 2012 R2 host (Cluster). (copy VM files to new 2012 R2host) Everything works fine.
Then upgrading "Installation Services" (for Windows 2012 R2 host) on the imported VM runs fine with no errors to the "Restart" prompt. VM than shows: "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn
of your computer." Hangs there for about 20 minutes until is says "shutting down". Hangs there for 20 minutes until power off. Restart to normal start; "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turnoff your computer." proceeds slowly
to "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." hangs there again indefinite. Sometime hangs at shutdown cycle and "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." indefinitely.
I moved 20 other machines from a 2008 R2 host to new Windows 2012 R2 hosts all of these machines install the 2012 R2 Integration services just fine on the 2008 R2 VM. Just the 2008 R2 VMs clustered (DAG) and Exchange 2013 SP1 do not take the Integration
Services upgrade.
Any advise from Microsoft? I know I could decommission the DAG and Exchange machines and install Integration services on the native box before Exchange and DAG and that would sure work, but I'd rather avoid that amount of work for a simple integration layer
upgrade.
Thanks

How do I show remote printers in Windows 2012 RDWEB?

Hi everyone,
I have setup an Windows 2012 RDS host and am able to access it externally by using https://remote.domain.com/rdweb.
Therefore I can log in and launch remote apps.
Local printers get redirected, but I do not seem to be able to see the remote printers on the RDS server.
The printer is installed and it is installed on the server.
What if I want to print on the server printer rather than my own printer?
How to get to show the printers in the RDWEB page?
I do not get control panel, select device and printers here.
Can someone enlighten me on this?
Thanks very much.
Regards
Ipnotech

Hi,
Any takers for this question?
When I use internet explorer to access the Windows 2012 r2 RDS server by typing https://remote.domain.com/rdweb, I get to logon and can see all my published apps and launch them.
But when I print from a remote app I can only see my own redirected printers I cannot see the network printer which is installed on the server.
I tried to change group policy under Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Printer Redirection and set:
Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session ENABLED
Use Remote Desktop Easy Printer Driver first ENABLED
Redirect only the default client printer ENABLED
Then I run a gpupdate /force on the RDS host to apply the policy to the server.
When I connect remotely from a Windows 7 client using IE and lets say I launch the wordpad remote app I can only see my client printers not the server printers.
This seems to work if I RDP into the server with mstsc.exe but not using RDWEB.
Does anyone know about this?
Thanks and regards
Ipnotech
