Cannot get Windows SBS 2011 Essentials to connect to Client Fails at Cannot connect this computer to the network. The server is not available

I am trying to connect a Windows 7x64 Pro client to a Windows Server 2011 Essentials server. The connector starts fine,then it gives this error: "Your server cannot be located. Enter your server's name or IP address to proceed"
I can ping the server just fine.
So far I have verified
- SSL certificate is the same as the server’s computer name.
- IPV6 is disabled on client
- Manaully Set DNS to 172.16.1.10 ( server Static IP)
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

Hi Mylenium,
upfront:
I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
Now the real deal:
I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

Windows SBS 2011 Essentials out of space on C Drive

Hi there!
We have a Dell server running SBS Essentials 2011, and we have recently been getting messages saying that the C Drive is full. When we purchased the server, we ensured that Dell installed loads of storage for us which is confusing.
Upon looking into it the C drive is limited to 60GB. Is there a way that we can increase this limit from 60GB to use some of the excess storage that we have spread over the D & E Drives? With 0.5GB left it keeps shouting at us! If we could enlarge the
drive to 120Gb we should be fine for another couple of years.
Thanks in advance!
Max

Thanks, I chatted with Adobe and got the programs move to the D drive. Since then, I have found the appdata/roaming/adobe file that has a ton of disk space (32 gigs) still used on the C Drive. How can I move this folder over to the D Drive as well?

Windows 7 Professional Pack configuration on SBS 2011 Essentials for Win 7 client after recovering a faulty system drive

I had a system drive fail on a PC the other day (Seagate Barracudas seem to do this!) and have replaced it with an SSD. Sadly its capacity is less than the original system partition on the failed drive so a bare metal restore does not work. I have
therefore reinstalled Windows 7 Pro and configured the PC with the same name.
In the dashboard of the server Windows 7 Pro Pack is implemented, but it is not functioning on the client. I have re-configured it but still no joy. I cannot see a way to disable W7PP for the client without removing the Add-in and assume this is a problem
relating to using the same name for the computer. Should I remove the Add-in and reinstall or is there an alternative?
TIA
Andrew

Here it is. I have replaced the user, client, domain and server names.
Thanks for your help. I am tempted to just remove the client from the domain, change the PC name and rejoin.

Cannot get Windows 7 to connect to 2012 R2 Essentials

I just built a new server with 2012 R2 and Essentials role installed. I previously had 2012 non-R2 Essentials and all my client PC's were connected. I have been able to connect one Windows 7 Ultimate x64 laptop to the new server with no hiccups.
Before attempting to connect, I uninstalled the old connector, joined back to WORKGROUP, and removed the Logs folder from the ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server directory. Now when I attempt to join the other Windows 7 Ultimate x64 PC to the
server, the install fails saying "Package Installation did not succeed". I have installed every available update to both the server and the client. I have even tried to install it in a "clean boot" state, which also gave the
same error. I have tried disabling the AV, and still no-go. I tried to install the KB2790621 independently, and it will not install. I have rebooted both machines several times, always the same error. I have also looked at the server
event log and don't see any clues. I'm out of ideas. Below is what I copied from the logs, but don't see anything pointing me in another direction.

Hi joehonse,
Would you please let us know current situation of this issue? Any update?
Regarding to error:
Package installation did not succeed, this issue may occur if you connect a computer to a server that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials while other Windows updates or application installations are pending and the Connector installation is canceled.
àWhen
I navigate to that path, the installer is already there. I'm not sure if it should work like this, but I have tried to run that installer independently, and it will fail everytime.”
Based on your description, did you mean that you can find the installer, however, can’t run it as normal? Would
you please let me know the error message that you can get?
In addition, as Robert suggested, would you please download the installer manually and replace the existed
one. Then please run and monitor the result.
Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.

Step by step to disable Folder Redirection for a single user - Windows 7 and SBS 2011 Essentials

OK...I got chewed (by someone I have a lot of respect for) for pounding on an old thread, so I'm starting a new one. I've got the Windows 7 Value Pack Plugin for SBS 2011 Essentials and Folder Redirection is working for everybody. What I'm looking for is
exactly how to go into Group Policy and disable the FD for a single user. I'm not looking for quick, incomplete answers. If you don't have time to give me the 'For Dummies' version, don't bother. Sorry, but I've done all the Googling I can stand for one day
and I'm over it! (and a little grumpy)
Thanks in advance!

... I've got the Windows 7 Value Pack Plugin for SBS 2011 Essentials and Folder Redirection is working for everybody. What I'm looking for is exactly how to go into Group Policy and disable the FD for a single user. I'm not looking for quick, incomplete
answers....
Hi Wayne,
Here's what I'd do.
1) create a Security Group in your AD environment. Call it 'Folder Redirection Members' or something like that. Put all the user accounts in your AD environment who you want to have their folders continue to be redirected to the server, do not include the
one user who you wish to exclude. in other words, you're going to use a specific security group to target the Folder Redirection policy (right now, it's Domain Users, which is everyone).
2) Edit the Group Policy that the W7PP created in your AD environment. It's likely called "W7PVP Folder Redirection". Start with verification under the Settings tab, expand Folder Redirection beneath User Configuration states that
Policy Removal Behaviouris set to Restore Contents. Then proceed using the Editor, to make adjustments under the Scope tab; verify membership in Security Filtering. Remove Domain Users,
add in Folder Redirection Members (or whatever you named your group in step 1).
3) on your workstation that your user you are applying the change to disable folder redirection, Log on to the domain account while connected to your network, elevate a command prompt, and perform a 'gpupdate /force' command and then reboot your computer.
Folder redirection configuration should be removed from the system and redirected contents should be restored back to your local path. Verify with inspection of the My Documents or other folders.
Hope this helps. Keep in mind, no warranty implied or expressed in this advice.
Try not to be so darn grumpy. :-/

Windows 8.1 Client Support on SBS 2011 Essentials

Does anyone know if Windows 8.1 Client PC's are supported or will be (with a forthcoming Update Roll-up) on a SBS 2011 Essentials network?
By asking that i mean full support by using the Server Dashboard to manage it and setting up Backup and redirection policies....
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for my mistakes.
As I know, it seems there is no Microsoft articles that indicate Win8.1 Pro supported
under Dashboard management of Small Business Server 2011 Essentials. You can contact Microsoft Customer Service, I believe that you will get an accurate response there.

Cannot get windows 7 to install on new imac

I have a new "Thunderbolt" imac. Using the boot camp assistant disk that came with it (or the downloaded one), I cannot get windows 7 successfully installed. Mostly won't start up. Long hang-ups, mouse won't work. Have used Boot Camp on older mac Pro for a long time with perfectly consistent results, but am frustrated here. I have followed instructions, made several fresh install attempts, used stock mouse and keyboard that came with imac, poor results. Boot camp appears to be v3.0 something. Wish I knew better what to ask......

Install stuck: SBS 2011 Essentials on a Virtual Box

I’m trying to do a test install of SBS 2011 Essentials on a Virtual Box virtual machine running on a Win7 64-bit machine. I put the install partition on an external
drive.
The install stops on a window that is titled Installing Windows. The screens says: “There was a problem during the installation. To restart the installation
click Restart. You can also view the installation error logs.”
When I open those installation error logs, I see no error. (It does have Info and Warning lines.)
I’m stuck there. If I could paste in the the contents of the error logs I would, but I can’t copy from the VM until there is an installed OS.
Any help appreciated.

Hello Rob,
There may still be a problem with two things.'
1) Installing it on your external hard drive. If it is a 'usb' drive, then it seems at times the software\drivers still causes some type of conflict depending on what type of system you have.
2) Your network interface card is configured set.
Going off the assumption that you have the latest virtual box software, your problem may be point number '1'
Solution that works for some: Installed the virtual machine locally. (Remember, you can still set the disk dynamically to 160 whether you have the space locally or not) Then transfered it to an external drive after everything was installed and
working.
Caveat: Shame to say, you may not have local storage large enough to hold the vm. This is why you probably bought the external drive in the first place. Hope this helps. Just find a machine that will allow you to create the vm locally first
if you can.

Receive a "Server is Not Available" error when trying to connect win 7 pro PC to Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 Domain via Connector

I am trying to connect Windows 7 Pro 64 bit SP1 Computers to a Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 domain and I receive the following error: "The server is not available. Try connecting to this computer again, or for more information, see Troubleshoot
connecting computers to the server." I have tried all of the steps in the Microsoft technet article "http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj635102.aspx" and still am receiving this error. A little background on this specific case...
All of these computers were already attached to a different Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 domain. They have all been taken off the existing domain and added to a workgroup. I have uninstalled the Server Essentials 2012 Connector and deleted
all log files. Has anyone else had this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is an urgent issue... Thanks in advance all!

Would you be willing to run this script on your server?
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Windows-Server-Essentials-556159c3
Also on a client to test connectivity?

10.5.8 binding issues to Windows SBS 2011

I am running OS X 10.5.8 and am attempting to bind the AD to our Windows SBS 2011 server. I get all the way to step 5 (after clicking Bind) and then a popup appears stating that there was an "Unknown Error" -- how can I find out what the error is? There is no code referenced. The Active Directory Domain is correct and the Administrative (under Advanced Options) is also correct.

Here is the process we used.
1. Run DU and repair permissions
2. Boot from install disk and make a disk image of the volume (just in case)
3. Install the combo 10.5.8v1.1 updater
4. Reboot
5. Install the combo 10.5.8v1.1 updater again due to a permissions database issue.
6. Only now run DU and repair permissions
7. If running mail services search Apple Support Forums for solution to the org.clamav.freshclam error. Note: this shows after you install the latest security update after 10.5.8v1.1
YMMV

Cannot get windows update to run after hard drive install and recovery

I cannot get windows update to run after a new shdd 1 tb was installed.
I have a pavilion dv7 4083cl. My recovery set did not work so I used the OEM set.
Any help would be appreciated

Hello kjdsynz,
Have you taken a look at the HD & SSD manual? Did the recovery fail? If you take a look at this page for help with that.
Please let me know if this has helped.
Good luck!

I cannot get my iPod Touch to charge. I have tried 3 different connections.

I cannot get my iPod Touch to charge. I have tried 3 different connections.
Also, my youngest grandson cannot remember his password. Is there a way to find it?

Not charging is one of the symptoms covered here:

To recover from a loss screen passcode, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on the computer. If iTunes asks for the unknown passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

I cannot get windows updater to activate

I cannot get windows updater to activate

Hi,
Before we go further in this issue, I would like to confirm what you mean by "I cannot get windows updater to activate".
Please let us know more details of it as Andreas Molin and Arnav Sharma mentioned.
Do you mean you cannot get Windows Update to run, you may try the following steps:
1. Check Windows Update service's running status, make sure it is automatic. If not, change and start it. Please check the below mentioned services:
a. Background Intelligent Transfer Service
b. Cryptographic service
c. Windows Update
2. Your antivirus software may be conflicting with Windows Updates. You can test this by temporarily disabling your antivirus:
Disable Anti-virus software:
