Cannot change from server core 2012 to gui

I have tried EVERYTHING (and I mean everything), but I cannot update from a server core 2012 to gui. I get the source error everytime. I have manually downloaded patches, and updated the source, but did not work. The server is connected to the internet.
Really wishing I could just switch to RedHat for this server, but unfortunately the acronis management server doesn't run on redhat (at least with redhat you pay for support, not just the privilege to use their shitty software, so when you have problems you
can contact them). Every article or blogs says the samething, but it does not work.

And the first thing to check for is to ensure that you installed Windows Server 2012 and not Hyper-V Server 2012. Windows Server you can update. Hyper-V Server you cannot.
What are the first few lines of output from systeminfo?

Migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new san hardware

We are getting ready to migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on an iscsi san to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on a new iscsi san.
I've been searching for a "best practices" article for this but have been coming up short. The information I have found either pertains to migrating from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 with failover cluster volumes on the same hardware, or migrating
to different hardware without failover cluster volumes.
If there is anyone out there that has completed a similar migration, it would be great to hear any feedback you may have on your experiences.
Currently, my approach is as follows:
1. Configure new hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new SAN with new 2012 r2 hostnodes and 2012 r2 management server
2. Turn off the virtual machines on old 2008 r2 hyper-v hostnodes
3. Stop the VMMS service on the 2008 r2 hostnodes
4. copy the virtual machine files and folders over to the new failover cluster volumes
5. Import vm's into server 2012 r2 hyper-v.
Any feedback on the opertain I have in mind would be helpful.
Thank you,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Yes , I agree with that "file copy " can achieve migration.
Also you can try "copy cluster wizard " :

Mapping drives from server core

Hi,
Is mapping drives drives from server core not supported? See the two commands below. One on the server with gui works fine and the one on server core does not.
PS C:\Users\administrator.WBAD> New-PSDrive –Name W –PSProvider FileSystem -root \\192.168.1.101\HVBackup
Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root
CurrentLocation
W FileSystem \\192.168.1.101\HVBackup
PS C:\Users\administrator.WBAD> Enter-PSSession hv1
[hv1]: PS C:\Users\administrator.WBAD\Documents> New-PSDrive –Name W –PSProvider FileSystem -root \\192.168.1.101\HVBackup
New-PSDrive : The specified drive root "\\192.168.1.101\HVBackup" either does not exist, or it is not a folder.
+ CategoryInfo : ReadError: (W:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveRootError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand
Thanks in advance

Hi Will,
You can use the command prompt command to map to a network drive. Please use the below command.
net use <DriveName>: \\<RemotePath>\<Shared_drive_name> /persistent:yes /user:<username> *
Let me know whether this works or not.
Regards, Alan.

From Server Core to GUI

From a Server Core installation, I have installed Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra, Server-Gui-Shell, and restarted the machine. I have verified that these have been installed, however, I now just have MinShell as opposed to the full GUI.
I'm not sure what I've missed...

Hi,
Did you try to use windows powershell to install the feature?
Please refer to this article for more detail information :

SharePoint 2013 RTM and WIndows Server Core 2012

Hi,
I've got a simple question I couldn't find the answer on the net.
Is SharePoint 2013 officially supported (supported, not just working almost fine) by Microsoft if installed on a Windows 2012 Server Core? Does it depend on the roles of the farm?
If possible I would like to have official sources from Microsoft.
Thanks for helping :)
Cya

First, I guess I should start with a disclaimer. I do work for Microsoft, but I do not speak for the product group and have no authority over what is/is not/will/will be supported with regards to SharePoint 2013.
My assumption however is that we'll treat it the same way we did for SharePoint 2010. It should work just fine and should be supported. The software requirements that Jason points out indicate that SharePoint requires Windows Server
2012 Standard or DataCenter. Choosing to install in core or with a UI doesn't change the fact that you've installed either Standard or DataCenter.
Also, from a support perspective, you can use remote tools in order to perform common tasks, such as checking the event log, restarting services, etc.

Cannot Change From 16 to 8 bits per channel

I have never had this happen before: I cannot change the image I am editing from 16 to 8 bits per channel. Also odd is when I click on an adjustment layer I have created it is not highlighted in blue.
Thanks

See if your in quick mask mode.
Icon at the bottom of the toolbox and look at the top left of the document window and see if it says quick mask.

Cannot change from default printer in Acrobat X by code

pp.printerName = "\\\\print server\\printer"; works flawlessly in Acrobat 9 Standard but will not change from default printer in Acrobat X Standard unless run in the console. I've checked the printer names through the console and they are listed correctly. Javascript enable menu items is checked. I've even tried creating trusted functions (which still work flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but not in Acrobat X). All other printer settings in Acrobat X change as coded once the printer is changed manually.
Any suggestions?

function printFullPEng() {
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
var pSize = this.getPageBox("Crop");
if (pSize[1] > "792") {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\HP Designjet 4000 HPGL2/RTL (Copy 1)";}
else {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\TOSHIBA 4520C PCL6 - Engineering";};
pp.NumCopies = 1;
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;
fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags = (fv.setPageSize);
this.print(pp);
This is tied to a menu button. As I say, it works flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but will not change printers in Acrobat X.

Changing from Dual Core to Single core

If you ever need to change from dual to single core you just have to call Apple Technical Support to learn how to do it. Some third party software vendors software dos not support multi-threading. So it sometimes causes a kernel panic which unexpectedly quits the program.

ComputerGenius,
the easiest way: download and install the developer tools. These contain a preference pain called "Processors". With that one you can deactivate processors/cores individually.

Cannot change from member name to alias description in Smartview

I am connected to an Essbase datasource using version 11.1.1.3 of Smartview and Excel 2007. I click on the Hyperion tab, the Options button on the ribbon, go to then the Display tab and all of the Member Name Display options window is greyed out. Member name only is selected by default but I cannot change it (because all options are greyed out). I haven't seen this before.
Note that I am NOT trying to display Member Name AND Alias, I am just trying to change my select from member name TO Alias and cannot (I only have one alias table: Default). I have added the Essbase datasource to my favorites as suggested on another post where numerous users are having the same issue and doesn't make any difference. There is another post regarding this issue that is listed as having a solution but that solution is not the solution to the problem described by everyone in that message thread.

Member Name Display Options will only be enabled if you connect to a database that has an outline containing duplicate members.
If your Essbase system permits the use of duplicate member names, you can choose whether to display member names with or without their descriptions or aliases.
To check if your Outline does allow duplicate members, follow these steps:
1. Open the outline in edit mode.
2. Go to the Properties tab.
3. Go to the"Duplicate member names allowed" node you will see a value of either true or false.
To see the descriptions in SmartView if you are using duplicate members, follow these steps:
1. Open Connection Manager.
2. Connect to your application.
3. Right click on the link of your application.
4. Choose "Change Alias table".
5. Choose the table e.g. "Default".
6. Click OK.

Re: CHANGING FROM DUAL CORE TO A QUAD CORE

Im thinking of changing from a dual core to a quad core Intel Xeon on my mac pro.
Is this a case of just changing processors or is there,more involved,motherboards etc?
Please help,excuse the typing ,this is after takin me 15 minutes .

The Mac Pro isn't like a PC. It's much more risk to upgrade processors. It is something I would never do to my Mac Pro.
I wouldn't risk it. But, if you really want 8-cores (and let me tell you, it sure is awesome!), I wouldn't recommend doing it, but I have no other resonable options. I don't think Apple would upgrade it for you.

I don't want my date to be changed from 08/30/2012 to Aug 30, 2012. How do I keep it as 08/30/2012? I don't want it to automatically change to Aug 30, 2012

How can I make a date show up as 08/30/2012 on a cell instead of automatically changing to Aug 30, 2012. I need the date to show up as 08/30/2012

The iWork apps defaut to the longer date format. There are a lot of choices of date formats in the iWork apps. Using the cells inspector, set the format for the cells/columns/rows as date & time & then pick the format you want. If you format the cells before you enter the dates they won't change. If you're pasting data into previously formatted cells, use paste & match style to have the data take on the existing characteristics.

Cannot start SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) 2012 after changes to IPALL

I made a change to Protocols for SQLEXPRESS, TCP/IP, IP Addresses, IPALL and now receive an error when attempting to restart SQL Server. Can anyone help with this? Is it possible to restore system to prior checkpoint in order to correct
this?
Please help.
Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x10. Reason: Unable to retrieve registry settings from TCP/IP protocol's 'IPAll' configuration key. The data is invalid.
Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.

SQL Server could not spawn FRunCommunicationsManager thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

Hi Chuck,
The Error "TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x10. Reason: Unable to retrieve registry settings from TCP/IP protocol's 'IPAll' configuration key. The data is invalid" Suggest that there is a problem with the data stored in one
of the registry keys related to SQL server start up. Although the information provided is not sufficient to pinpoint to a specific issues. Still try the following step open the SQL server configuration manager
Select SQL server Network Configuration->Protocols for <Your SQLExpress instance Name>
On the right side double click TCP/IP.Select IPAddresses Tab. Scroll the way down till you file IPALL
Make sure that there are only a valid TCP/IP Port number is present. Even the leading or trailing whitespaces could make a difference here. Once you have verified that above two conditions are met. Try starting the SQL server instance.
Also make sure that the TCP/IP port is not being used by any other program.
You can run the command netstat -aon on the command prompt to see the list of ports being used. Make sure that the port you have specified for SQL server is not listed under the TCP protocols.
Hope this helps.

Cannot Reinstall Site Server - SCCM 2012 R2

We just upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2. Everything went fine until the one secondary site server failed to upgrade. After fiddling for awhile we just wiped the site out, reinstalled the server and rebuilt the site (same Server Name and Site Code).
However, the fresh server is serving up the same errors as the old install attempt. It would seem that there is something leftover preventing the install. It is for sure not working because it cannot detect the .NET 3.5 and 4 we have installed
on the server and instead returns an error on the prerequisite checks. I tried using preinst.exe to delete the site and I took a look at the hman.box for the deletion list but there was nothing there.
Has anyone had this trouble before?

If I'm reading your comments correctly, I'm not sure what you were expecting preinst.exe to do for you. If a site fails to install due to not being able to pass the prereq checker, preinst has nothing to do with that.
It sounds like the appropriate features are not enabled in Server Manager for the .NET 3.5 and 4.0. Have you checked the documentation library for the requirements for a server to become a secondary site? They should all be listed. Until you get all those
additional features installed, then yes, you'll not be able to pass the prereq checker, and won't be able to install the computer as a site server.

Cannot change from System Default Printer

Using Windows XP (still, I know) and Adobe Reader XI, I am unable to switch from the default printer to another printer in Adobe Reader. I am able to do this in all other applications except Reader.
I can change the default printer in Windows, open Reader and print to another printer, but the print dialog box doesn't allow me to change the default printer.
I can select another printer from the drop down box. Then, I'm unable to open the printer settings dialog. If I click print, it sends the job to the default printer instead of the one I've chosen.
The issue persists for multiple users on this pc even after creating new user profiles in Windows. I have about 10 printers installed on this machine and this happens with all of them. Different makes and models (Brother & Konica Minolta mostly) and also the default Microsoft XPS printer all do the same thing.
TD;LR: I can only print to the Windows default printer.

function printFullPEng() {
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
var pSize = this.getPageBox("Crop");
if (pSize[1] > "792") {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\HP Designjet 4000 HPGL2/RTL (Copy 1)";}
else {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\TOSHIBA 4520C PCL6 - Engineering";};
pp.NumCopies = 1;
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;
fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags = (fv.setPageSize);
this.print(pp);
This is tied to a menu button. As I say, it works flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but will not change printers in Acrobat X.

Cannot change From when replying

[Originally part of a discussion in the Admin Forum but moved here as looks like a Client specific issue]
Users have full proxy rights to a Workgroup mailbox. When logged in as themselves they can write a NEW mail and change the From field to the Workgroup address. Mail then goes out as if sent from the Workgroup mailbox and has the Workgroup address in the Reply-To field. But when REPLYING to mail that originally came in to the workgroup address it is not possible to change the From field (It doesn't matter whether the incoming is in a shared folder or forwarded to the individual).
I think this was reported in GW2008 as a possible bug, has it still not been resolved or is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Joe
