Can we run 32 bit application over 64 bit windows server 2012 ?

Can we run 32 bit application over 64 bit windows server 2012 ?

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Since the two cases that you posted are the same, I will merge them so that you can get a better assistance. Thanks for your understanding
and support.
In addition, according to your question, it depends on the applications. Some applications designed for the 32-bit version of Windows
will work on the 64-bit version of Windows, but some are not. Before you install the application, you’d better check if it is compatible with 64-bit version of Windows Server 2012.
Best regards,
Susie

    Dear All,
    Is there a 32 Bit edition available for windows server 2012 and windows server 2008?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Quote：
    All editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 are 64-bit only.
    Reference link below(session Supported upgrade paths):
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379511(v=ws.10).aspx
    And based on MS official description about system requirement for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, we may find out that they only has 64 bit OS.

    Have you tried manually adding the Application Server role using Server manager?  That might give you a better error message on why the prerequisites installer can't add it.  If you can successfully add it using Server manager then you
    can just re-run the prerequisites installer and it should be able to install the rest of the prereqs.

    Hello,
    Thanks for your answer. Yes, I've tried to add this Application Role manualy. The error log I pasted here has been generated after this manual installation...
    So it still doesn't work. :(
    Any other ideas ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

    Hi,
    I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
    data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
    Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
    The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
    When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
    I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
    are missing.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

    This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
    I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
    I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems  in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc.,  -BUT-
    The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively- 
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
    Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
    ( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
    folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

  • Windows Server 2012 Essentails - Can I get an extended trial for 10 days or so (really need this)

    Greetings all, I'm currently running a trial version of Windows Server 2012 Essentials, and am very happy with this so moved all pcs and laptops over, reason in doing so was going to go to the full version from this trial, but then I thought about trialing
    out 2012 R2 Essentials and have been running this with no issues and would rather spend the money on buying this version.
    I have 2 days left of the trial license for 2012 Essentials,  is there anyway I can extend this for an extra 10 days or so to give me enough time to finish of building the other server ?

  • [Forum FAQ] How to install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely

    As we all know,
    the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
    Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
    In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
    Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
    Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
    Get-WindowsFeature
    PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
    Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
    Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
    (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
      2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    (1)  In an existing domain environment
    Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
    Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
    Server Essentials:
    Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
    Note: The type of
    Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
    You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.
    By the way, you can use
    Get-WssConfigurationStatus
    PowerShell cmdlet to
    get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
    ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
    Figure 8.
    (2) In a non-domain environment
    Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
    Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
    Figure 9.
    After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
    After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
    After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
    Figure 12.

    Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
    In an existing domain environment
    In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
    -ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
    Figure 13.
    After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
    Figure 14.
    After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
    Figure 15.
    Next, please use the
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
    Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
    xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
    Figure 16.
    Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
    Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
    Figure 17.
    After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
    Figure 18.
    After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
    Figure 19.
    2. In a non-domain environment
    In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
    below:
    Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
    Server2: 192.168.1.53
    Run
    Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
    Figure 20.
    Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
    to
    add the TrustedHosts entry:
    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
    (Figure 21)
    Figure 21.
    Next, we can use
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
    Figure 22.
    After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
    Figure 23.
    From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
    Figure 24.
    Then you can use
    Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
    The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
    Figure
    25.
    Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
    Figure 26.

  • Migrate SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Standard

    We currently have two servers (SBS 2003 Standard utilizing Exchange 2003; Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with SQL 2005).
    We want to retire the SBS or maybe both.
    We have purchased a new server (Windows Server 2012 Standard with licenses for Exchange 2013 and SQL 2012).
    Is there a whitepaper that describes how to migrate SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Standard?
    Is it possible to run Exchange 2013 on the Windows Server 2012 box? In Hyper-V? If Exchange can run in a virtualized instance, do we need additional licensing to run another instance of Windows Server 2012 Standard?
    Can we run SQL 2012 on the same Windows Server 2012 box?
    We have about 35 users.

    Sal,
    Migration went fine.  Steps i took:
    Join 2012 Standard server as member.
    Migrated roles.
    I ended up manually creating new shares.  The old environment was a mess.

  • Windows server 2012 R2 replication

    Hi all,
    I have windows server 2012 standard edition and Recently I rented a new dedicated server from the data center. My new dedicated server has Windows server 2012 R2 standard edition. The problem is when I am doing a replication from windows server 2012 standard
    to windows server 2012 r2 standard I do not see SYSVOL share in my windows server 2012 R2 standard. I see all the active directory users have been replicated but not the share. 
    How can I solve this issue? Anyone can help me with this?

    The command completed successfully.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    seems for me that the Promotion from the new DC didn't went well. In your case remove the new machine from the domain, disconnect and use dcpromo /forceremoval and run metadata cleanup on the Windows server 2012 DC.
    http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2010/05/16/active-directory-metadata-cleanup.aspx
    Tthen assure that you use ONLY the existing DC/DNS server on the NIC from the new machine, NONE else, even not if this machine should become DNS server role, and run dcpromo again to join it to the exiting domain.
    So the schema was upgraded to version 69 as Windows server 2012R2 requires this?

    Hi Nikorios,
    This issue occurs for one of the following reasons:
    The dependency services for Network Discovery are not running.
    The Windows firewall or other firewalls do not allow Network Discovery.  
    You could refer to the article below to resolve the issue:
    You cannot turn on Network Discovery in Network and Sharing Center in Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012

  • Windows Server 2012 Software RAID-1 of System Volume

    Simple question at the first glance. One can think that it can be solved in few hours on Internet. But...
    Is it possible that there is no any useful guide out there for such common operation? Obviously it is.
    The only guide you can find on the subject relates to Windows Server 2008 R2, and can be found
    here. But anyone who ever tried to accomplish mirroring this way knows that it includes hours of copy-paste, boring and error prone work in CL tools
    Diskpart and bcdedit. And to make things even worst, there are many reports that such systems actually won't boot anyway if the first drive fails. 
    Common Microsoft guys! Give us some tool, or at least reliable guide!
    I'll send valuable gift to anyone who can help me mirror system volume in Windows Server 2012 :)
    Thanks
    Aleksandar

    Hi,
    I think I understood the question. As you said, currently we will have to edit the boot information on the second disk through Bcdedit and we have to do this with command line.
    You mentioned "a tool or a clear guide", so I'm trying to find out the confuse part which seems to this:
    bcdedit.exe /store t:\boot\BCD /set {identifier1} device ramdisk=[r:]\Recovery\WindowsRE\Winre.wim,{identifier2}, where {identifier1} is the identifier for the Windows Boot Loader entry with the description Windows Recovery Environment and {identifier2}
    is the identifier for the Device Options entry.
    I think the {identifier1} part may cause confuse. Actually if you run this command:
    Bcdedit.exe /store t:boot\BCD /enum all
    Note: Here T is a drive letter it assigned to the System Reserve partition. You could try to assign a drive letter T on a server and run the command to see the result.
    It will show result like this:
    Windows Boot Manager
    identifier              {bootmgr}
    device                  partition=T:
    description             Windows Boot Manager
    locale                  en-US

    ramdisksdipath          \Recovery\d2d918cf-8b0d-11de-8b0e-cb2e6be3a937\boot.sdi
    See the Bold part. This could help us find the identifier these commands needed.
    Currently there is no such tool could help us to do these steps automatically. Maybe a script-based program could help a little.

    I fixed it by installing Microsoft Identity extensions from command line, please find command line below.
    C:\Windows\System32>msiexec.exe /i "C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinstallerfiles\MicrosoftIdentityExtensions-64.msi" /quiet /norestart
    Note: In the above command C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinsTallerfiles is the path where I had downloaded all the prerequisites for SP2013
    This will install Microsoft Identity Extensions and creates registry entries, which will help the SharePoint 2013 Prerequisite installer to complete the setup
