Hi,
Glad the issue was solved by yourself.
I think it should be an in-place license transition, transitioning from Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 Standard.

WIndows 2012 Essentials & SQL Server 2012 Standard
Does anyone know if SQL 2012 Standard (preferred) or 2008 can be installed on Windows Server 2012 Essentials? We're a small business with 10+ active users and have a need to upgrade our legacy inventory/CRM database to a new solution that requires SQL
Server. With such a small user base I don't foresee an impact. Are there any implications to installing SQL on Essentials?
Thank youHi SmallBizUser,
Just that it is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller. There are specific security restrictions
when running SQL Server in this configuration and given the resource demands of a domain controller, SQL Server performance may be degraded. There are more details in the following KB. Please refer to.
You may encounter problems when installing SQL Server

Cannot upgrade Integration services on Windows Server 2003 VMs to 6.2.9200.16433
Hello.
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a 2012 server (not R2) running Hyper-V. There are 4 VMs on the host, 2 are Server 2008 and 2 are Server 2003 (SP2). The Best Practices Analyzer tells me that dynamic memory is not running correctly as there is a mismatch
in the versions of Integrated Services on the VMs. Looking into this (I am new to this setup) I found that both the 2008 machines have IS versions 6.2.9200.16433 and both the 2003 VMs are still on 6.2.9200.16384.
I tried to update the 2003 VMs by extracting the GuestVMs.iso content to a shared folder and installing on the VMs but all I get is a message saying 'this computer is already running the current version of integration services' with 6.2.9200.16384. Which
isn't the latest version. I did the same thing on a totally seperate server with 2012 VMs and it updated Integration Services so I know the procedure (and the .iso content) is valid.
Is it just the case that Server 2003 cannot handle any IS version higher than 16384? If so I wish I could find somewhere that says that! Or is there something else I can try?
All suggestions gratefully received!

Windows Server 2012r2 Essentials - Dashboard - Server Folder and Hard Drives Not Showing..
Hi,
Following the last series of Windows updates, I'm experiencing problems with our WS2012R2 Essentials server. When opening the Dashboard, the 'home:getting started' tab shows all correct except 'server folders n/a'. On checking the Storage tab, the normal
display for 'server folders' and 'hard drives' just shows 'refreshing list of items'.
Despite symptoms above, Storage Space and Server Folders show correctly in server Windows Explorer and are available to client computers across the LAN. It just appears that for some reason the Dashboard cannot see them.
One other related symptom I've noted is that for some reason the 'wsestoragesvc' Windows Server Essentials Storage Service no longer starts automatically. Even when started manually Dashboard symptoms remain - server folders and hard drives aren't visible
on dashboard.
I've run sfc /scannow to check for problems - all clear and run chkdsk on the system volume.
Would welcome ideas on what steps to be taken to fix problem. Many thanks..Hi,
The issue could be due to a custom service knocks on effect on the Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and causes the service no longer starts automatically.
You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
WHS 2011 Dashboard shows no users or drives

If the issue still exists, try to reinstall the Windows Server Essentials.

How can I upgrade Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials?
I have just installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials on my Home Network (from the installation DVD). I have done absolutely no configuration Installing Server 2012 was an oversight; I meant to install Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
I tried to correct by installing R2 from its DVD, hoping it would do an upgrade. That didn't work.
Is there a simple way to make it possible to install the correct OS? For example, can I just demote the existing server and remove any roles that were installed, so that the R2 disk will install over top of the existing installation?
Alternatively, is it safe to just reformat the partition and install R2?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn408635.aspx seems to imply that this is OK.
David Pike, P.Eng, MCITPHi Larry. Thanks for the reply. It didn't work, but I don't believe you are wrong. Rather I think there is something weird in my system. I'm marking your reply as answer.
Some background: I'm repurposing an older PC (Compaq SR1614X) as a home server, to manage my home network, use as a gateway to my Azure server, and to help my Server 2012 training (on MVA). I've been messing with it for nearly two months,
on and off. From the start, I've had trouble installing the server 2012 software (see previous threads August-27 and August-16
), but when I got to the point that I could install Server 2012 Essentials, I thought I could upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Essentials exactly as you suggest. That was where you helped me a lot, i.e. you confirmed that my expectations were reasonable.
So when it didn't work, I spent most of yesterday trying various different procedures. I got tantalizingly close, but still no cigar.
I can install any Windows Client and Server 2012 Essentials, but the R2 Essentials installation never finishes; it goes into an "error 0x000000C4" boot loop. At first I wondered if it was because I was installing a server over a
server, but you confirmed that's not the issue. I later verified that I cannot install R2 over Windows 7 either, whereas R1 over Win7 is fine. I can only surmise one of two problems:
I have a bad installation disk
There is a hardware issue
I plan to eliminate (1) by creating a new disk from a new download. I have verified that the latest ISO file and the one I have been using have identical byte counts,
For (2), I had suspected that the problem was that the older system has no UEFI, but since R1 installs OK, I am discounting that. Today's effort: to eliminate the DVD drive, I will try booting from a Flash Drive. To eliminate
the hard drive, I will try installing to a different drive.
I am hoping you can help with one more thing. When I run setup.exe with the /noreboot option, I have a better chance of success. The option suppresses the first reboot only, but that one (after "Expanding the setup files") always
fails, so suppressing it gets me almost to the end of the install. Is there a way to modify setup.exe so the it always runs with the /noreboot option? -
Cannot enable anywhere access in Server 2012 Essentials R2
Hi all,
I have recently installed & setup Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 on Lenovo S20. Everything is going great except for Anywhere Access! I previously had Server Essentials 2012 running on a HP Microserver but the hardware desperately needed upgrading
& when R2 came out I grabbed my opportunity. I did not do a migration as I only needed to copy my data. I have everything else set up, i.e. AD DNS, DHCP etc etc & all required roles installed but when I access the dashboard Anywhere Access wizard the
server says it is switched off, so, I go to set up & skip domain name setup as I already have one setup through MS & skip router setup as my ports are already forwarded & the server handles all DNS & DHCP anyway. Click on next & tick anywhere
access ( have tried with VPN too) & next then click allow current users & groups etc & next again, then the setting up remote desktop box has the green bar scrolling across & that is as far as I get. I have tried multiple times & it never
goes any further, I have even left it for over 48 hours!! The only option left is to cancel which it does OK.
I have trawled the internet for answers but cannot find anything similar to my problem. As I say, everything else is OK, local computers connect & see the file structure OK. It is just this anywhere access problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated
as I do sometimes need to access certain files while away from my premises. I think I have mentioned everything but if you need any more info please ask. I am pretty new to servers & still have a lot to learn but am getting there slowly!!
AnthonyOK my friend has so far had no luck in finding a problem :(
I have looked at the logs suggested but I have to be honest they mean very little to me. I have a Dashboard.log & a SharedServiceHost-ManagementServiceConfig.log which it says was last updated on 7th Dec but I also have another of those logs which ends
in .2.log so it's full name is SharedServiceHost-ManagementServiceConfig.2.log is this right? That one has been updated today.
I have uploaded a logs.zip file to my Skydrive space if anybody would be good enough to have a look & tell me what I should be looking for? The link is: Logs.zip
Thanks for you advice so far -
Windows Server 2012 Essentials upgrade to Windows Server 2012 Standard
I've just upgraded a Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Standard via the Powershell command. The server restarted and is now Standard version. However I've noticed in the services that one particular service fails.
silsvc <Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 2 >
C:\Windows\system32\silsvc.exe
It is set to automatic.
I guess this is part of the essentials license and hasn't been removed. I would like to keep the Essentials Features however on a VM I replicated the same problem but when I removed Essentials features this service also got removed.
Is it ok to just disable this service? because I want to keep the Essentials features. Is it going to cause any issues?Hello,
What is the procedure to migrate to standard essentials without losing programs?

Cannot activate HP ROK license on Server 2012 R2 Essentials Evaluation
Hi!
Ive bought a HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 and installed the Server 2012 R2 Essentials
evaluation, because I couldnt recieve my license in time.
Ive now recieved my Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials ROK HP but cannot activate the license.
Due to my knowledge it should be possible. I dont want to reinstall my server :-
"(For Windows Server 2012 Essentials: You can convert to the full retail version by entering a retail, volume license, or OEM key in the command slmgr.vbs."
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574204.aspx
Please help!There's no way I know to convert from an eval license to a ROK license. The HP ROK media needs to be installed on the server in order to use the ROK license. In fact, if the operating system is installed using the ROK media, the installation
should be pre-activated and no post-installation activation should be required. I'm afraid a reinstall using the ROK media may be your only option.
Merv Porter
========================= -
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been experimenting with the evaluation version of WS2012e trying to get the installation and subsequent build into an optimal set up, and once I have everything I want it to do mapped out, I'll set it up with the full version with using the key that
I bought.
However, I've noticed that the server seems to experience a delay during cold boot - it sits with a Please Wait screen for about 60-90 seconds before it presents the screen with an option to Log on. I have also discovered from running Health
Report, that there are some entries in the event logs which appear to coincide with start up times, and which seem to be interconnected to each other in the issues they are describing, and I have copied an example of one of those health reports below.
I assume that everything sorts itself out in due course, because the events say the process will be re-attempted and these errors don't repeat again after the system has booted up. I also have the server set to suspend when not in use with the Lights
Out add in, so it shouldn't need to cold boot often - but I wondered if there's a way to correct these errors so that they don't hold up the boot up process? I'm also concerned that these errors will cause me later problems with storage pools and
the like at a later date - the disk replication one seems particularly worrying. Alternatively, are these errors just a normal part of the start up process - the timing of when different processes start relative to each other - and can be safely ignored?
In trying to understand what the events describe, I thought that WE2012e acted as its own Domain Controller, and yet it seems from the event log entries that it is waiting for another server to respond to AD / DC requests (but there isn't another server
on my home network). The other thing I remember from when I first tried out WS2012e, is that it took control of DHCP or DNS from the router, and I found that frustrating when waking up my laptop and it wouldn't connect to the internet until the server
had fully booted up and re-asserted its network settings. Is this another symptom of the same problem? I remember seeing a posting at the SBS Diva's site about how to update the server so that it gave connected PCs a backup option for connecting
to the internet when the server wasn't available, and was going to try to find that again to see if that helped.
By way of background - there isn't another server in my home network. This is an attempt to do a clean install onto the same hardware that I ran the initial trial of WS2012e, now that the trial has expired, so I'm not trying to migrate from an existing
server. I moved all the data on the trial server off onto an external disk, with the intention of importing it back once I had the Storage Pools set up the way I wanted on the new build, and since I didn't want to keep anything else about the server
trial. Am I correct in thinking that I don't need to go down the Migration route during installation, and can go through a Clean install in this circumstance?
I'm running on an Asus P8-H77-i motherboard, with an i5-3470s CPU and 16MB RAM, and I have WS2012e installed on 256Mb SSD formatted under GPT with uEFI boot - the latter being the main reason for the reinstall, instead of just giving the Evaluation
version the new key on the original MBR set up. I've also enabled Intel Rapid Storage and Rapid Start - and successfully set aside the hibernate partition on the SSD - but discovered that this is about forcing a hibernate after suspend, allowing
the system to power down until its needed again, and then resuming from hibernate on the SSD rather than cold boot each time. That seems to work, but doesn't improve the cold boot times at all, which was what I was hoping for - ideally the way my
laptop will boot from cold in a few seconds into Windows 8.
Yours faithfully,
Avon

Event ID: 2147486534
The security of this directory server can be significantly enhanced by configuring the server to reject SASL (Negotiate,
Kerberos, NTLM, or Digest) LDAP binds that do not request signing (integrity verification) and LDAP simple binds that
are performed on a cleartext (non-SSL/TLS-encrypted) connection. Even if no clients are using such binds,
configuring the server to reject them will improve the security of this server.
Some clients may currently be relying on unsigned SASL binds or LDAP simple binds over a non-SSL/TLS connection,
and will stop working if this configuration change is made. To assist in identifying these clients, if such binds occur this
directory server will log a summary event once every 24 hours indicating how many such binds
occurred. You are encouraged to configure those clients to not use such binds. Once no such events are observed
for an extended period, it is recommended that you configure the server to reject such binds.
For more details and information on how to make this configuration change to the server, please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87923.
You can enable additional logging to log an event each time a client makes such a bind, including
information on which client made the bind. To do so, please raise the setting for the "LDAP Interface Events" event logging category
to level 2 or higher.

Hi Justin,
I'm reading through the links you referred me to but it's taking a while. In the meantime I tried running BPA as you suggested. I'm sure when I ran it before, it didn't say much beyond 81 checks completed, and I couldn't find a way to get any
more detail.
Now it says
Problem:
The DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.
Impact:
If the DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server, DNS name resolution can fail.
Resolution:
To resolve this problem:
1. From the client computer, open the Properties page for the network connection.
2. Make sure that DNS is configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.
Except that it is.

Can't download files on Android from Server 2012 Essentials Remote Web Access
I have two servers, one with Windows Server 2012 Essentials, and the other SBS 2011. Employees like using Remote Web Access to log in from anywhere and have access to shared folders. It works perfect on a Desktop computer, but when they try to
use their Android tablets or phones, and want to download a file (e.g. a PDF) from one of the shared folders on the server, the download fails. When Microsoft was pushing 2012 they said RWA worked great on mobile devices, do I have to set up something
separately to make this happen?
I've completely disabled the firewall, and have ports 80,443,987, and 1723(just to be safe) all forwarded to the server.
I can log into the RWA site on the android, browse files and folders, but when I select a PDF to download, the download shows as if it's starting, shows in my android notification as if its going to start downloading (Shows MobileDownload www.mydomain.com)
but eventually after a few minutes, will time out and show "Download Unsuccessful".
Network connectivity is fine as I can do this on a Windows Desktop PC using any browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE) and successfully download anything I want.
UPDATE: I found this in the event handler when I tried to download something from a mobile device...

encounter this same issue? If you download different type files, will still this issue persists? You can upload a small file (such as a text file) to the share folder, then check if Android device can’t download it.
Based on your description, when logon a desktop computer, you will download files via RWA successfully. Please use the user account which logon computer to logon
the Android device, will still fail to download?
Please check if there has enough free space in Android devices that be used to save download.
When this issue occurred, please check the state of Android device in Dashboard. Besides, I suggest you should run the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) and fix all
it can find. Then monitor the result.

Adding non-local NAS to Windows Server 2012 R2 (Essentials Enabled) Server Listing
Okay, I'm new at this, so I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. In short: I'm running WS 2012 R2 (with the Essentials role installed) and the sever is connected to a network that also has a Linux-based NAS (a D-Link DNS-323) connected
to it. I want to be able to add the NAS server to the server listing (in the server manager) with the ultimate goal of making the NAS files available remotely through the WS Remote Web Access (RWA).
Here's the long description of my problem: I'm trying to set up a remote access point for me and my family so we can access our documents and media when we are not on the local network. The NAS comes with a built in FTP server, but FTP is not secure enough
for my needs. A lot of the people that will be accessing my home network remotely are not very computer savvy, so I need to make it as easy as possible to access and use (ie. I don't want the end user to have to install/code anything on their machine to be
able to get to the home files). Ideally this would be the RWA interface, with its simple login screen and GUI. I have set up the RWA, so now the only problem is making the root of the NAS a visible file on there. I have the NAS as a network (mapped) drive
on the server, so the server can 'see' the NAS, but I don't know how to make it 'seen' in the RWA.
Any ideas? Is setting this up even possible? If so, how would I go about doing it? If not, does anyone know of a good workaround?Hi,
In general, if the NAS files are local, you can create shared folder on the server in Remote Web Access and then upload the NAS files to the folder.
However, according to your description, it seems that the NAS files are not local and I am afraid that you may cannot achieve that in Remote Web Access.
Best regards,

ADWS Broken after in-place upgrade from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2
I performed an in-place upgrade from 64-bit Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2. This machine ran Active Directory Web Services. After the upgrade ADWS will not start. I get the following event log error:

</Event>I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending.
After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though. -
Restore backups from Server 2012 Standard to 2012 Essentials or Foundations
The owner of our small office (about 25 employees) wants to have an off-site "emergency server" to be used if the primary office becomes completely unavailable due to fire or other emergency. In the past we did this with a 2003 Small Business server
in the office and a basic PC stored off site both running Veritas Backup Exec 10 and backing up files to a removable hard drive that could be restored to the spare 'server'.
Now that we are upgrading the main office server to Server 2012 Standard, the Backup Exec 10 will no longer work and I'm not interested in paying several thousand dollars for licenses for the newest version of Backup Exec for the new server and the 'spare'
machine.
So my question is, if I use the built in backup system in the 2012 Standard server, would a spare machine running 2012 Essentials or 2012 Foundations be able to access those backups? Getting the basic OS on the spare server instead of the full 2012 Standard
would lower the cost significantly and make it easier to fit into the available budget. When used in an emergency, there would probably be at most 5 people accessing the spare server so user licenses won't be an issue, I just need to make sure the backup idea
is feasible.Hi Michael,
à
if I use the built in backup system in the 2012 Standard server, would a spare machine running 2012 Essentials or 2012 Foundations be able to access those backups?
Based on your description, I test something in my Lab environment. I create a shared folder, then backup (not Full server backup)
to the shared folder via Windows Server Backup on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials. Then logon a Windows Server 2012 Standard and access the shared folder. Then navigate to the backup file (.vhdx file), right click it and select
Mount. Please assign a drive letter to it in Disk Management. Then you will be able to see all files and folders which were backed up in this backup file (VHDX file).
In addition, when run Recovery Wizard via Windows Server Backup, you also can use an option ‘A backup stored on another location’
to select the backup file which was stored in the shared folder for the recovery.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
