Can't install Server 2012 R2 on Intel SR2500

Hello
Hello
I am trying to install Windows Server 2012 R2 onto my Intel SR2500 server, as I am upgrading.
Every time I try to install it, I am given the message 'No physical memory available at the location required. The system cannot continue.'
It was originally running Server 2003 x64, and that was working fine.
I have tried different hard drives, re-seating the RAM, and using only one CPU, but no difference is made.
I am really confused, please help!!
Here is the system setup:
Intel S5000PAL board
Intel FALSASMP SAS midplane
2x Xeon 5150 Processor
8GB DDR2 ECC ram
2x 450gb Seagate Cheetah, one storage and one OS.
Thanks
Lewis

I don't find it in list for Server 2012. May need to get in touch with the hardware vendor.

Install Server 2012 on a raid device

Hi there
i have following problem - i have to install server 2012 (unattended) on an server with an LSI Controller.
Therefore i have to configure the raid controller - befor the installation of the operating system.
So my idea was to write an batch for configuration an execute this batch as a synchronous command. this is almost working but the configuration of the raid happens to late, so that setup cannont continue
now i have two questions:
is it possible to set an global environment variable as soon as possible?
would it work if i start my configuration script in the startnet.cmd inside the pe-part of the boot.wim?
any other ideas?
thx
netlord

Hi Henrik
i tried this:
i´ve injected the storcli.exe and the raid.cmd into the first index of the boot.wim (called "Windows PE (x64)"
also i edited the startnet.cmd and inserted following line
%SYSTEMROOT%\storcli\raid.cmd (before of the wpeinit)
this doesn´t work.
unfortunaltely i can see no log of this action
so i have some more questions:
-was it correct to start my batch before wpeinit? (logically yes, but....)
- where exactly is the switch between PE-part and Windows Setup-part?
- can i stop the boot procedure at this time?
- is it possible to write a log-file which i can read later? where to place it?
- most of all i would love to write the log to my usb-boot device - is this possible?
how can i set an environment variable which points to the usb-device?

Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server?

Hi Guys,
I have just purchased Mac OS X Lion Server. When I launch the Server App I am told I need to download additional software but once the App attempts to do so I get this message "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server".
I looked around on the internet and I found a few vague comments stating I may need to insert commands into the Terminal. Can anybody help me please?

Had the same message myelf but it is there. Somebody posted a link to it, will see if I can find it......
Thought so, Karlegas found it.

Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

Dear Team,
Thanks in advance.
I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
i have tried changing the initial install option of OS to ''other''. But still its the same.
Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key.
if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

I have the same problem here.
With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message: ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

Server Install: "Can't install Server Essentials"

We just purchased a brand new Mac Pro to use as a server, however the Server app refuses to install. The app was purchased directly from the app store, and when I run the installer I get the error "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
I read in another thread that this was solved by creating a new network location and removing the old one. This solution did not work for me. I've tried connecting via both wifi and ethernet and neither solved it (there is also no firewall, so the domain isnt blocked or anything- the app store and software update both seem to work fine).
I also read that you need to install server on 10.7.0 or it won't work. Well, that is completely unnacceptable since the Mac Pro came with 10.7.3 preinstalled, and the recovery partition will only install the most recent version. The direct links to the ServerEssentials.pkg are also dead, so that solution is out. Any ideas?

Same problem. Just redeemed my Apple Developer code. I'd also like access to the actual .DMG or .PKG files for the install but it seems that the AppStore revoked that capability and the old methods to access those files no longer work. Come on guys...

What licence do I need to install server 2012 R2 standard on a single i-7 cpu machine?

What licence do I need to install server 2012 R2 standard on a single i-7 cpu (multi-core) machine?
Is a 2 processors licence OK?
Thanks.

Yes, you are all covered.

Installing Server 2012 on PowerEdge T110 II in Raid Mode

I am trying to install Windows Server 2012 on a PowerEdge T110 II that I just purchased. No software and driver utility disks came with the computer! When I try to install Windows straight from the OS Install disk it tells me that some drivers are missing however it does not list any specific ones missing to know what is lacking! The message reads: "A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or hard drive disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now...."
I read in your Microsoft Windows Server 2012_Installation Instructions User's Guide_en-us document that I needed OpenManage 7.2 which supports installing Windows Server 2012 OS. I got the ISO of OpenManage 7.2.0 A01 from your website and burned it to a DVD. I started the computer with this DVD and was able to get to Dell Systems Build and Update Utility. From there I went to Configure Against Server OS Installation. It provides a list of supported OS. Windows server 2008 and 2011 are listed but not 2012!
When I go into the BIOS (PERC S100, version 2.2.3) and change the SATA settings to ATA and run OpenManage and go to Dell Systems Build and Update Utility and Configure Against Server, this time Windows Server 2012 shows up and I'm able to proceed further until it gets to 100% complete and reboots. I insert Server 2012 install DVD during reboot and it states "Valid Operating system installation media was found. Press "OK" to start install." A system Build and Update Utility message appears that states: "The Temporary Partition will be removed. If an error is encountered during the operating system install, you will need to use the Systems Build and Update Utility to restart the install process." I press OK and get an Install Windows message that states: "The file "autorun.dll" could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]" I burned the OS DVD from a Microsoft ISO. I have read that perhaps the DVD needs to be burned differently and at a slower speed. That may resolve this last issue (don't know yet), but I actually would like to setup this computer in RAID mode anyway and first I need to resolve the following question:
1) Is it even possible to install Windows Server 2012 with Raid Configuration on this hardware? If yes, how? The OpenManage-->Dell Systems Build and Update Utility-->Configure Against Server does not list Server 2012 unless the SATA setting is not set to RAID!!!
2) When I configure the same computer with Server 2012 as the Operating System installed on Dell.com's Configure and Buy site, it gives a configuration error that says "Errors: Microsoft 2012 options selected from Operating System require Microsoft 2012 Media." When I pick/check "Windows Server® 2012, Foundation Edition, Media Kit" the error goes away. Do I need this media kit? Is this what is causing the issue with the install? And where do I get this missing component?
Any guidance you can give me or reference to appropriate material/docs to help out would be greatly appreciates as I have spent/wasted several days trying to get this server's OS installed! Thank you.

The T110 II is almost two years old, so yes, compared to the 12G systems, it is using older hardware (I suspect the T110 II's replacement is due out soon). The S100/S110 is a special implementation of Intel's onboard RAID, so the S110 is not an option on the older boards that have the S100.

Good luck.

Issue installing server 2012 R2

Just performed a clean install of R2 to replace server 2012.
Needed to re install server as ran into an error that appeared unrecoverable - video_driver_init_failed - stopped me over and over again no matter what boot option or repair method I used.
regardless, server 2012 was on a raid 0 ssd array no issues. tried to do the same with R2 and did not like the amd ahci or raid drivers had to install to one ssd only
you may want to check your driver compatibility on R2, not a real big deal for me
gigabyte MB gb85x-up4 with a10-5800k 32gb ram areca 1882ix24 1250watt seasonic 24 wd red 3tb raid 0+1 2 intell 170gb ssds 4 wd black 3tb drives 1 dvd burner using APU for video
ps last time I installed catalyst drivers for video sb and raid and ahci I started getting randon server 2012 crashes (used win 8/8,1 64bit drivers) scared to reinstall them so just letting it go with windows defaults
main use is streaming video and music to 5 other computers in the house and can stream to all 5 from raid array no problems
should I install the amd drivers?
thanks

I'd probably check OS compatibility here or create a ticket.

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.
repadmin /replsummary * >> repl.txt
repadmin /showreps /v >> showreps.txt

Cannot Install Server 2012 on RD430.

When are we going to get the BIOS updates we need so that we can install the latest products that are already released?

Just to document this in case someone runs across this old thread, all current BIOS versions available for this server support Server 2012. The first version to do this was 2.04

Can't install Server Admin 10.5.6 update on G5 10.5.6 server

Not sure if this is by design or if there's something wrong with my setup. I downloaded the 10.5.6 server admin tools update and attempted to run it on my server only to be greeted with the message "You cannot install Server Administration Software on this volume. You can not install the Server Admin Tools on a computer running Mac OS X Server." The update installs fine on a client workstation. I have server admin tools installed on the server already but the version shows 10.5.3. Is there any way to bring the on-server tools up to the same release as the off-server install?

If you've updated the Server to 10.5.6, the tools should be updated as well. If a specific tool didn't change, it's possible that it still shows the 10.5.3 version. Looking through my "Server" folder, only System Image Utility and Workgroup Manager show versions newer than 10.5.3.

Cannot install Server 2012 using USB bootable flash.

Hello,
We plan to upgrade Server 2003 to Server 2012. I downloaded Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO file from the below link.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012
Then make this ISO file on bootable USB flash and boot it on computer.
During Windows Setup installation after select partition,
Getting files ready on installation (xx%)
It displayed message that The installation was canceled.
"Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570"
I have tried the following ways.
- re-downloaded the ISO file again
- Installed on VHD
- Installed on different computer
- Tried choosing Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI
Still got the same error. Plese help me how to solve?

I'm not clear about your problem statement. Are you saying that after downloading re-downloading the ISO, the installation failed in all three different installations?
If so, it really does sound like bad media. There have been other instances in this forum where the person downloading was apparently hitting a server on the internet that had a bad copy of the media. They got around the problem by downloading
from a different location, for example, a different part of town that gets routed to a different download server.

How can i install Mac OS on toshiba intel celeron satellite L450-9P

can i install Mac OS on in Windows 7? for dual-boot purpose

But you can install Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp for dual boot.
For the purposes of Windows®, a Mac is just a generic piece of PC hardware, so installing on to it is permitted by Microsoft's EULA. On the other hand, Apple have explicitly stated in the EULA for OS X "Mountain Lion" that it should only be installed and run on Apple-branded hardware. Section 2, Paragraph B, Sub-section 1:
you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license […] to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer…
(emphasis mine)
Section 2, Paragraph H:
The grants set forth in this License do not permit you to, and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so.
Also, discussion of how to run OS X on non-Apple branded hardware is against these forums' Use Agreement, Section 2 Paragraph 8, including Sub-section 1:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
This thread'll be reported by someone if any salient advice is offered that enables the OP in his endeavour.
