Cannot install Server 2012 Evaluation

Hi folks,
I have an HP Proliant microserver on which I am attempting to install Windows Server 2012 180-day Evaluation in order to start learning.
Have downloaded ISO and burnt to DVD but when I start the install an choose the Windows Server 2012 Standard install option I get a message:
'Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software Licence Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.'
Cannot get past this message so cannot install - I have downloaded the ISO multiple times and still get the same message.
HP Microserver has 12GB RAM and 750GB HDD.
Any help for a noob please folks?
Thanks,
Sq...

Maybe this one helps.

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.

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

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.

Hi,
if you just are going to create a clean database you can create it with the wizard. As Marke is saying, don't put a database on the root of the disk.
Create a folder called temp and put the database there. Even though you are local administrator you will have problems creating a file directly on the root partition.
Back to your query creating the database, you have just specified the database path location but not the log file. If you do not specify where you want your log file to be located it will look into your default location(set under installation, and printed into
registry(this can be changed after the installation)).
If you are going to store the files in c:\temp the query should be:
CREATE DATABASE [AdventureWorks2012] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'AdventureWorks2012', FILENAME = N'C:\Temp\AdventureWorks2012.mdf' , SIZE = 3072KB , FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'AdventureWorks2012_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Temp\AdventureWorks2012_log.ldf' , SIZE = 1024KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO

Sql server 2012 evaluation edition expired

Hi Gurus,
sql server 2012 evaluation edition expired,
Here i don't have any backups and when i browsed few blogs suggest to upgrade to another edition from Evaluation edition.
1)Do upgrading the edition keeps all the user databases the same and how about the logins and jobs and other data in system databases.
2) Am having a developer edition 2012 can i attach the data files ( .mdf ) to the instance using attach database method from Evaluation Edition Instance 2012 to Developer Edition 2012.
3)If i uninstall the Evaluation edition 2012 can i have any loss of data.
4)Please suggest me the best practice if any thing available.
Thanks in advance..

Thanks in advance..
Lets take your question point wise
1. In place upgrade will take care of all Logins,jobs and other objects. But before running inplace upgrade its advisable to run SQL Server upgrade advisor
2. Yes you can do it perfectly. As Erland said this will not transfer logins and you might have
orphaned users
3. Since Eval edition has expired and if you uninstall it you might loose all data. This is not a correct approach please either do an in place upgrade to licensed version( like developer edition) or first install developer edition and move database by backup
restore or attach detach method. I would say to use inplace upgrade.
4 Best practice would be to do an inplace upgrade. Since Developer edition is same as enterprise and Evaluation edition you dont need to worry about features. Just run the Developer edition setup by running setup.exe file and then select maintenance on window
which pops up in maintenance select edition upgrade and then follow the process to upgrade evaluation to developer edition. Below link would help

Cannot Promote Server 2012 R2 Server to DC??

I have a freshly installed Server 2012 R2 Core Edition with all of the latest updates as of today. I did the following:
- Changed name to DC6
- Joined it to the existing domain.
- Logged in as domain admin.
- Set fixed IP address & set DNS servers to other DNS servers already on the network.
I then installed the AD DC via Server Manager from my computer and that went through fine. I then logged into the server itself and ran the following command:
Install-ADDSDomainController via powershell and answer the commands as requested for the current domain and safe mode administrator password. I get the following error:
Verification of prerequisites for Active Directory preparation failed. The specified user does not have SESecurityPrivilegeEnabled.
I ensured that domain admins (I'm logged in as a domain admin) are in the local admin group and that hasn't helped. NOTE: I haven't had any problems adding domain controllers in the past, only with this Server 2012 R2 version. I'm currently
running Server 2008 R2 DC's at the 2008 forest level.
Anybody have any ideas?

I concur with GSS1 and Mike about the schema and that the account should in the Manage auditing and Security log policy. In addition, you may also want to see what the poster did in the following thread:

Is it possible to upgrade Server 2012 Evaluation to Server 2012 R2 Evaluation?

I ask this because I accidentally installed Server 2012 (non R2) Evaluation and I already bought the key for Server 2012 R2 Standard. Is there anyway I can somehow perform the upgrade from Server 2012 Evaluation to Server 2012 R2 Evaluation and then add
the license key? Or worst case, maybe I can downgrade or swap my Server 2012 R2 license key for a Server 2012 one? I'd rather upgrade to Server 2012 R2 but my priority is to avoid a reinstall.

The downgrade might be possible. Read on here.

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?

SQL Server 2012 Evaluation (x64 bit) does not install

Hi
I downloaded the following files from the site:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=29066
SQLFULL_x64_ENU_Core.box
SQLFULL_x64_ENU_Install.exe
SQLFULL_x64_ENU_Lang.box
i have double-clicking the executable to SQLFULL_x64_ENU_Install.exe ,i got error popup box as below
popup box name :Unloading the box
error message:The application cannot find one of its required files,possibly it was unable to create it in the folder.please make sure that
the folder in which application was downloaded is accessible and not read-only
os : windows 7 home basic
i am the adminstator in the machine and tried to copy the files to diffeent drives and click the exe
but still its stays same error message
can some one please suggest on next steps
Thanks

Hi sai sudeep,
I know that you have downloaded the SQL Server 2012, but it wasn’t successful because the entire application contains more files and folders and not just three files (setup.exe, .box files). So, as Alberto Morillo said, you could download an ISO file for installing.
Please pay attention to that a Service Pack 1 or higher is required on windows 7 for installing the SQL Server 2012.
please refer to:
Download Windows 7 Service Pack 1:

Hello Scott,
The Visual Studio 2012 SDK need Visual Studio 2012 but not Visual Studio 2013. Please make sure you will use Visual Studio 2012 on your OS.
Here are the system requirement of that:
Supported Operating System
Windows 7 Service Pack 1; Windows 8; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2012
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x64)
Hardware Requirements:
1.6 GHz or faster processor
1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
300 MB of available hard disk space
5400 RPM hard drive
DirectX 9-capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher display resolution
Prerequisites:
Visual Studio Professional 2012 or higher
Here higher means Visual Studio 2012 higher version, for example, Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.
If you want Visual Studio 2013 to work, I think you need to install the Visual Studio 2013 SDK.
Best regards,
Barry

Previously blocked client computers - now cannot install SCCM 2012 R2 client

Hello,
I have a Primary Site on SCCM 2012 R2. New installation of 2012 R2, not upgrade from SCCM 2007. My environment is pretty small for now, having added just few dept computers in the company.
We are using SCCM for Endpoint Security antivirus deployment. Some time ago I had not configured the Discovery methods correctly and the scep client started to install on few machines on which it was not supposed to be installed. I removed the clients then
(both remote and local uninstallation) but since the sccm client was getinng installed again - I had to Block these few machines. Now the problem is that I cannot install the scep client on these computers that have previously been blocked. I am sure the previous
block is the reason because these are about 6-7 machines and only they do not install. All others do install scep client. The installation process goes smooth on these problematic machines, ccmsetup folder gets created in C:\Windows, I follow the ccmsetup.log
and it says " <![LOG[CcmSetup is exiting with return code 0]LOG]!><time="12:33:56.415-180" date="10-08-2014" component="ccmsetup" context="" type="1" thread="3992"
file="ccmsetup.cpp:10875"> " at the end of the log which is what it is supposed to show when installation goes ok, then Ccmexec.exe process continues running but folder Microsoft Security Client in C:\Program Files never gets
created and no scep client gets installed.
I tried deleting the computers from the sccm console and discovering them anew - did not help. Tried even renaming the comp locally, after having it deleted from sccm console, then adding it anew hoping sccm will regard it as a new resource-again no good.
All these computers have the Approve, Block and Unblock buttons greyed out/inactive in console.
Has anyone had this same problem? Any ideas what can be done. Thank you.
Regards,
Hristo

Hi,
were you ever able to fix this?
I'm running in a similar issue here.
One single client was blocked, then deleted, lateron recreated (imported manually name and MAC address).
Now the client is unable to register itself in SCCM 2012 R2 (no CU yet).
Tried the usual stuff: uninstalled SCCM client, remove the entries of CCMsetup and SMS from registry, deleted the SMS certs from the computer personal
store and deleted the smscfg.ini from C:\Windows. Then re-installed the SCCM client
Client logs look fine, except ClientIDManagerStartup.log:
<![LOG[[RegTask] - Client is not registered. Sending registration request for GUID:F295F120-9C99-4D10-82B7-027FDD86B5F6 ...]LOG]!><time="14:46:11.555-60" date="01-12-2015" component="ClientIDManagerStartup" context=""

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.
