Can I install Windows Server 2008 R2 using Bootcamp? I do not want to install native, but may consider if that is the only way....

I already have Win 7 on an internal Bootcamp drive. It so far has worked well, Bootcamp performance drag is minimal, if at all. Now I want to install Win Server 2008 R2 and load a bunch of virtuals using Hyper-V Manager. The virtuals are already created. This is to practice for a certification test....
Running Mountain Lion, 2010 MP 2 X 2.4 (8 core) 24 GB RAM, all HDD slots full.

Works like a charm. Apple Supports says you can have multiple instances of Bootcamp. Win Server 2008 R2 is up and running, drivers installed (except issues with Bluetooth) and accepting Windows Updates and Service Packs.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Take a look at the admin guide (Page 75, 119, 159):
    [http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000150922010E.zip]
    If you installed a firewall on the license service computer, make sure that the firewall is not set to port 30000; otherwise, the license service cannot work.
    If you are using Port X, make sure that you open Port X and Port (X+1) in the firewall. For example, if you are using port 10000, make sure to also open port 10001.
    The default communication port is 1143.
    The default port of the SAP Business One license server is 30000 for license communication and 30001 for the license naming service

  • How to install Windows Server 2008 (dualboot) on a PC with Windows 8.1 already on it?

    Hi, I bought a new PC with preinstalled Windows 8. Now I need to install Windows Server 2008. Anyone can advise me how to
    do it? It has to be in dual boot, in Virtual Machine the display is way too small

    You should check out the Boot-to-VHD capability.
    Here is how we do it in a lab environment which we got from a Microsoft lab:
    -Verify your computer is running Windows 7 or later.
    -Verify you have full administrator rights to your currently installed operating system.
    -Verify hard disk encryption or other pre-boot security is turned off.
    -Confirm that hardware virtualization technology and memory protection are both enabled in your computer's BIOS setup.
    Now we just setup the a VHD with an operating system on it (can even use a downloaded server 180 day trial VHD if you are in a rush). Then go to Disk Management and select Attach VHD and point to the file. Note the drive letter that is assigned to the
    mounted VHD.
    Run a command prompt as administrator and type: " bcdedit /export BCDBackup.bak " to create an exported backup of your boot loader configuration. Now type bcdboot [drive]:\windows.
    Now to test your dual-boot configuration, restart your computer and select the new OS boot option.
    An optional last step would be when complete to restore your boot loader by running "bcdedit /import BCDBackup.bak" and delete any VHD files.
    A more detailed guide written for Windows 7 but still applies for Windows 8 can be found at:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/windows-7-boot-from-vhd.aspx
    Hope that helps.

  • Help, I installed Windows Server 2008

    Please advise me on what to do. I installed Windows Server 2008 on my laptop for networking class. This past summer I had upgraded it from Windows Vista to Windows 8 then 8.1. I want to take Windows Server 2008 off, but I cannot seem to get my windows
    8 to work. When the computer is in command screen mode I have to option to start in Windows Server 2008, or Windows 8. But Windows 8 will not come up, I get an error stating a file is missing. I cannot seem to connect to the internet IN Windows Server 2008
    either . Help!!!!

    Okay this is what you need for a basic setup.
    Servers:
    1 main host server - install Hyper-V role on this
    2. 1 guest server to act as a domain controller - also install remote desktop licensing role on this server
    3. 1 remote desktop session host server that you install your applications on
    join the remote desktop server to the domain
    leave your hyper-v host server off the domain in a workgroup
    install applications on remote desktop session host server
    install remote desktop licences on the license server - role that you have installed on your domain controller
    configure any settings - including the licence server to use - on the remote desktop session host
    users connect to remote desktop server using RDP client on their computers
    NB: this is the minimum setup you could use

  • Can't upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

    Even though the "Windows Server Installation and Upgrade" TechNet article (DN627667) claims that I can upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, it seems I can't. I get an error message saying "Windows 2008
    R2 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (Server Core Installation). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows..." What might be causing this issue? Thanks for any input! :)

    Hi,
    Firstly, for retail versions, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1 can be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter.
    I assume you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 retail version, right?
    In addition, it seems that in earlier version than Windows Server 2012,
    once you install the server in Core or with GUI mode, you could not switch to the other. The only option was to rebuild the server from scratch.
    Did you install Windows Server 2008 R2 in GUI? If yes, I recommend you to upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2 in GUI
    mode to see if the issue persists. If it succeed and you want to run in server core, you can just remove the graphical shell and convert your Windows Server 2012 R2 to Server Core.
    Best regards,
    Susie
    Thanks for replying Susie. The 2008 R2 software is the one provided by Microsoft for Action Pack subscribers, so I'm assuming it's not retail. That's another thing, I think I should be installing the GUI as my 2008 has a GUI, not just the server core. For some
    reason I missed that and clicked on the server core only install!

  • Installing Windows Server 2008 on Sun Ultra 24

    I have a Sun Ultra 24 that I previously had Windows Server 2003 64 bit installed and working fine.
    I am going through the process to install Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit, and it is failing at the last step of completing the install, saying that windows failed to install components.
    Prior to installing, I loaded the drivers for Intel ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller from my Drivers and Tools 1.4 disk and formatted the drive that was previously used. I am not attempting to install RAID and there are no additional hardware components in my system.

    when restaring the windows after that it give me the below message in the attached image from the KVM consol

  • Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2

    Dears in Microsoft,
    We need to have Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 64bit to be installed and due to the fact it is no more available in Microsoft.
    I am going to order Windows 2012 with 16 CAL in order to downgrade it to Windows 2008 Standard SP2 64bit. My question is:
    1. Which version of Windows Server 2012 needs to be ordered so that I can downgrade to Windows Server 2008 64bit Standard SP2?
    2. what else required in terms of product key, media, license...etc?
    Appreciate your kind supports.
    thanks and best regards

    Any licensing questions are always best addressed by a trained Microsoft licensing specialist.  You can find whom to call by looking at www.microsoft.com/licensing.
    One of the built-in rights of a Windows Server license is the right to run earlier versions of the operating system.  So if you purchase either Standard or Datacenter, you can run 2008 Standard.
    However, that does not provide the media or activation codes for earlier versions of the operating sytem.  You have to obtain those via other channels.  You should most likely contact a Microsoft reseller and talk to them.  They will
    most likely have a trained licensing specialist on hand to help answer your questions, and they should also be able to provide media for earlier distributions (for a slight fee).

    Hi Guys
    I have an issue please help on that earliest.
    When am trying to install Windows server 2008 OS. Error msg was coming 0x80070070:"not having enough space for installation"..Even though i have 20GB space?..Pls resolve this issue immediately.
    Regards,
    Shiv

    Is this a clean install or an upgrade?  20 GB, though greater than the minimum, is pretty minimal.  How much memory do you have on the system?  2008 would try to create a page file of 1.5x physical memory, so if you are building on a large
    memory system, you could be having an issue there.
    "Pls resolve this issue immediately"
    Forums are not for support.  They are monitored by people, like yourself, who are willing to take time out of their days to provide the benefit of their past experience.  If you need support, you need to purchase a support contract from Microsoft

  • I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?

    I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?
    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

    Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.
