I have windows 2012 64 bit with installed oracle 9.0 32 bit client
and i want to connect to oracle 9.0 64 bit server installed on windows 2003 R2 64 bit
Is it possible to make this connection because when i have tried to connect received this error ORA-06413 connection is not open

I know that oracle client 9.2.0 is too old but company about i work have tests which run on this systemIf you are stuck using antiquated versions of software, the company really ought to stick to antiquated versions of the operating system as well. Trying to combine versions of the Oracle client that weren't even certified on Windows 2003 with a bleeding edge Windows 2012 system is a recipe for pain and suffering. Even if you appear to get things working, there are any number of bugs that will likely crop up over time due to the massive version incompatibility.
If i understood right i can't make connection between oracle 9.2.0 32 bit client installed on windows 2012 to connect to oracle server 10 i?As others have pointed out, you probably can though you'll need to change the firewall rules. As others have stated, the firewall changes you'll need to make should probably be the same for a 9.2 client and a 10.2 client. But if you're determined to work with highly unsupported combinations of software, you're likely to have to embrace the idea that you're going to be blazing some new trails and that you'll have to spend a decent amount of time debugging issues that arise from your very unique combination.

    Hi,
    There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
    You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim UIResManager
    Dim Cache
    Dim CacheSize
    CacheSize=20000
    Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
    Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
    Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
    Or you could use a configuration item.

    You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

    my tnsnames.ora seem correct both in the db_1\network\admin directory and in client_1db_1\network\admin directory.
    both Sqlplus(client_1 10.2.0.1 and db_1 10.2.0.3) return a connection.

  • Windows 2012 server image creation

    Hi
    I am posting this here as you have worked on imaging OS.
    here is the situation:
    I am working on creating windows image file (WIM file) for our company and i have already created images for windows 7 and also 3 different type of windows server 2008 without any issue. everything worked as it is supposed to. now i am trying to create an
    image from Windows 2012 server. so all my process is same as i did for server 2008 but i get this error:
    [error] c:\recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim <error = 2>
    error imaging drive [c:\]
    they system ca not find the file specified.
    some point to mention:
    1- c:\recovery\windowsRE\winre.wim actually exists
    2- as i mentioned i ahve done imaging many many times in the same environment and everything works just i get this error when i want to image my windows 2012
    3- I boot in PXE environment and then try to run IMAGEX command and create my WIM file.
    4- I have about 80 G free disk space on the partition I want to create my image to.
    your help is appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply.
    as i mentioned before imagex works perfectly for all my images ( win7 and also win 2008) it just fails on win2012
    about DISM: I have worked with DISM to inject updates into images offline  but i didnt know we can create an image of forexample C drive with DISM. is it possible?
    I would actually use a "capture image" from a WDS-server, which is actually the easiest way (in my opinion) to create a Wim-file. What you have to do is set up a WDS server, add the boot.wim from e.g. Windows 2012 DVD into boot images, and then right click
    it and "create capture image". Once you boot into that, it will help you create a .Wim-file that can be saved to the same disk, external disk (or even to the WDS if wanted).
    I used to use imagex for older OS:es, but it doesn't work with Win8/Server2012 in the same way.

  • Using IPSec to connect from Windows 2012 to a Sonicwall

    In order to establish an IPSec connect from a Windows 2012 Server to a SonicWall, you must first connect to the sonic wall via L2TP or PPTP? 
    Can someone confirm this is correct?
    Thanks. 

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As per my research, generally when we are implementing IPsec connection we use PPTP as a connection method. PPTP, L2TP, and SSTP depend heavily on the features originally specified for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). PPP was designed to send data across dial-up
    or dedicated point-to-point connections. For IP, PPP encapsulates IP packets within PPP frames and then transmits the encapsulated PPP-packets across a point-to-point link. PPP was originally defined as the protocol to use between a dial-up client and a network
    access server.

  • Windows 7 SP1 client file lock on network share hosted ny WIndows 2012 Server

    Hello
    I have one strange problem after migration from Windows 2003 Server to Windows 2012 Server R2 Standard. 
    All migration tasks went well but two things do not work.
    In Computer Management you have The Opened Files feature and if you open any file that is located on the network share hosted by Windows 2012 R2 form Windows 7 SP1 and then close it
    it remains open in the Opened Files tab (even if you wait an hour).  There is no problem with Windows XP SP3. The issue exist only with Windows 7.
    The session view of sessions to the file server do not work. If I try to open it I get the message that the application is not responding. 
    Can someone help me with that ?
    About the environment:
    It is one server Domain migrated form 2003 to 2012R2.
    The domain and forest level was raised to 2012 R2.
    I have made clean install of Windows 2012 R2 and then migrated AD. 
    Best Regards

    Hi Sebastian,
    >>There is no problem with Windows XP SP3. The issue exist only with Windows 7.
    T>>he session view of sessions to the file server do not work. If I try to open it I get the message that the application is not responding. 
    Based on the description, please check event logs in Event Viewer to see if there were some related events logged. Besides, does this phenomenon happen all Windows 7 clients? We can try to restart the client to see if it helps.

  • Windows 7 Client 'sees' an old version of windows 2012 server share

    Hi All,
    I have a problem which seems to be a common theme looking at other threads. Here's the overview of the problem:-
    I have multiple windows 7 clients and a windows 8.1 client within a 2008 Server in a domain.
    I also have a Windows 2012R2 Server which is not joined to the domain. There is a Share on the 2012R2 which has the Caching Option turned off. Everyone full control on Share & File permissions.
    One of the Windows 7 machines in Explorer when it looks at
    \\2012server\share sees an old version of the folder. It seems that SMB 2 chaching is working too well. Not even pressing F5 or clicking View, Refresh updates windows explorer.
    It took a reboot to get the workstation to see the up to date contents of the share on the 2012 server.
    We don't seem to have that behaviour with that client against the 2008 server.
    I have seen this behaviour on another machine un-related to us at another location which was in a workgroup with a 2012 server and no domain.
    Questions:-
    Is there some sort of problem with Windows 7 workstations working against 2012 Servers in a non-domain setting or is it just Windows 7 against 2012 servers period?
    I understand that Windows 7 utilises SMB1 & SMB2. SMB2 introduced caching. If the server has turned off the share cache option should the client cache the contents of the share or the information about the files & folders & 'file not found'
    information?
    I want to open a file handle to a file on a network share so I can read and write data to it. But I also want to know that when I look at the folder to open the file I'm actually looking at the live version of the folder and files in the folder and
    not a cached version of the folder. If it's a cached version the file might be there already but I won't see it.
    Is there an API call that tells the client to get a fresh view of the server share so I can be absolutely sure that when I look for a file on the server I'm getting the correct answer and not one from cache.
    I first posted the question with the same subject "Windows 7 Client 'sees' an old version of windows 2012 server share" in the Windows 7 Networking Fourm
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/23bf3627-987b-4c27-8062-85a284a2cda4/windows-7-client-sees-an-old-version-of-windows-2012-server-share?forum=w7itpronetworking and it was suggested I repost in here. Please do take the time to read
    the thread which will save time with suggestions that have already been covered.
    As the computers that can be affected by this problem are not mine I cannot enforce or guarantee that any of my 'client base' will apply any hotfixes. I will also not have the ability to tweak registry settings as I can't guarantee Admin Access.
    It seems that we need to go back to SMB1 as all the tweaks to SMB since those days have introduced problems with the basic requirement of sharing files from a share on a server for Read/Write purposes. I have tried turning a network back to SMB1 and that
    has resolved a lot of the issues but then I found a post/MS blog that states not to leave the network on SMB1
    The Caching option of the share had already been turned off. Surely Windows clients should not cache any information about the share but I think that is not the case.
    Thanks is advance
    Robert

    Hi Shaon,
    Thanks for looking into this.
    If this is a known issue, why isn't the hotfix rolled into a general windows update if this is a known problem? However this doesn't just affect domain joined workstations.
    Surely it's basic functionality for a networked computer to access files and folders on a network file server. It's what networks were invented for at the end of the day.
    I am unable to apply hotfixes to these computers that are having the problem due to the fact they are not mine but my customers.
    At one of my customers sites I disabled SMB2 from the server and network clients as well as disabling the network adapter power saving option. This seemed to resolve the issues that I saw on one client that seemed to be 30 minutes behind the rest of
    the network.  The hotfix you link to states that it is for Domain joined computers. At my customer site the PC's are not in a domain at all, just a workgroup with workstations and a 2012r2 server. Will the hotfix be applicable to non-domain machines?
    Also many clients seemed to loose the file handle to an open file on the server. I'll get them to turn SMB2 back on at some point after I send out some updates but all the problems I see seem to be caused by the caching functions in SMB2. SMB1 is good and
    stable. It's SMB2 that seems to be causing the problems as it was designed from the ground up for caching.
    Has this networking issue been resolved in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10?
    As I am unable to apply a hotfix to 1000's of PC's that are not mine, is there an API call or something where I can get the windows client to stop lying and get me the current state of a folder on the server?
    Will Turning off ClientSideCaching fix the issue? HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MrxSmb\Parameters\
    CSCEnabled
    Or will every machine need to be tuned individually according to the following guide:-

  • Windows 2012 Server Remote Desktop Virtualization + Linux Clients

    Hello!
    I wonder if anyone could shed a little light on this.
    We want to implement a Windows 2012 Server with Remote Desktop Virtualization for our office, which has around 12 users. Our company has its core apps developed in VB6.0, and those apps use MySQL as their database. We want clients to run Linux, which will
    have no other function than to connect and to Windows 2012 Server and display the remote session. Users need to work as usual, as they would in a local version of a Windows Desktop.
    Can this be done? If yes, is the Standard version of Windows 2012 Server the best to accomplish this?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Add to Tim, you need to acquire CALs for every user (About 12 in your case).
    Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS CALs)

  • How To Increase TCP Connections in Windows 2012 Server

    We have installed our Java application in Windows 2012 Server. After running for some time application started showing Connection Time out. We have set TCP Parameters MaxUserPort = 65534 and TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30.
    We are facing the same issue, even after setting the parameters in windows registry. We have verified in our application, "There is no connection pool issue and no thread issue".
    We are using JDK v6.0.29, Tomcat 7, MYSQL 5.5.
    Apart from MaxUserPort and TcpTimedWaitDelay is there any other TCP parameters in Windows 2012 to improve performance of the server and our application.
    2) At the same time we have found that ‘There is sluggishness in I/O process’. Is there any registry parameters to improve I/O performance in the system.

    2) What error exactly is popped up? Do you happen to have a screenshot?

  • Migration from Small business server 2011 standad to Windows 2012 Server Standard

    Hi everyone,
    I have a network with SBS 2011 standard (that is the only server) and now we are moving (migrating) to windows 2012 server standard with an exchange 2013 (not yet installed).
    The main thing is that when trying to install the migration tool on the SBS server, it will not install because it is not a 2008 R2 server.
    is there a workaround for this problem?
    I Hope this will help. Amir Ovadia

    Hi,
    Would you please first let me know how did you perform the migration? Regarding the migration tool, is it the Windows Server Migration Tools in Windows Server 2012 R2? Since you need to install
    the Windows Server Migration Tools on the source SBS 2011 server, I suggest we could perform the following steps to install it.
    Create deployment folders for ource computers by running the
    smigdeploy.exe tool (included with Windows Server Migration Tools) on your destination server.
    Register Windows Server Migration Tools on source computers that are running Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, or Windows
    Server 2003 by using SmigDeploy.exe.
    For details, please refer to the following article.

  • Disabling SMB2 and SMB3 Client from Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

    There are many programs that are using a shared file on the server from clients from XP to Windows 10. From time to time it seems like there is a network outage and the handle to the file is broken and the file
    cannot be read or updated. It seems more prevalent on a Windows 2012 server but may have happened from time to time on 2008 & 2008 R2. However there are not any network problems so it just leaves the server & Client
    I have searched for possible resolutions including:-
    Turning  off the Cache for the share
    Disabling the network adapter power setting to allow windows to put the device to sleep.
    Disabling  Antivirus/configuring it to ignore folders for on access scanning
    Disabling SMB  Signing
    Configuring the  clients DWORD registry value SilentForcedAutoReconnect=1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\NetCache
    Setting the "NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1" to not drop client
    connections
    The last bit of trouble shooting that I can think of is to disable SMB2 and SMB3 as that does a lot of caching and batching of packets which could also be the cause of the problem.
    I have looked at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us
    I have disabled SMB2&3 on the server as that is very straight forward.
    When I get to the section about disabling SMB2 on the client the command fails.
    sc config
    lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
      After running the above command, it returns an error: 
          [SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
          Circular Service Dependency was specified.
    So it's not worth running the following command:
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    I have tried the command on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10 just to confirm that it's  nothing to do with any particular PC, machines in Domains and Non-Domain machines.
    So, my questions are:-
    1, is
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us actually correct and up to date and for the OSes (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 2012 server and Windows 10) with latest updates & service packs?
    2, How do I disable SMB2 and SMB3 on clients for troubleshooting purposes the server to resolve problems with shared files (multi user access)
    3, If I just disable SMB2 & 3 from the server would that force the clients not to use SMB2 when communicating with the server and therefore not caching the directory structure and file not found etc? I have seen posts that suggest this is not the case.
    4. Does sc.exe have a bug in it?
    Thanks in advance
    Rob

    Hi,
    I made a test in our testing enviroment, everything works fine to disable SMB2 and 3. For your problem, in my opinion, as I didn't find any specific report about this error, it would be better to use Process Monitor to capture the trace when running the
    command.
    Start Process Monitor, then set the filter as cmd.exe, after that, open CMD and execute the command.
    Process Monitor:

    In addition, I found another thread that had similar error with yours, you can take its solution as reference.

    Roger,
    Many thanks for the time taken to look into this.
    I've downloaded process monitor and loaded it. I filtered for cmd.exe started capture and saved a 1mb file.
    However I don't think this is going to help unless you can point me in the direction of what you're expecting to see in the capture file? If you want me to send you it I can but it does contain personal information which I'd rather not place online.
    You can recreate the problem yourself by doing the following:
    Go to modern.ie
    Download any windows 7 virtual machine for your preferred of virtualisation  platform 
    log in, start cmd as administrator and run the command
    sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    You will also receive the same error.
    [SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
    Circular Service Dependency was specified.
    You can also try it on the Windows 8 and 8.1 machine if you have time.
    I checked the link to the similar error and that just looks at the file not found problem which is the smb2 cache. They still didn't resolve the slow access to the share which is seen on a machine that has anti-virus on it when you go to right click
    on the folder or a file in the folder. It's about a 20 second (spinning circle) pause every time. The problem is bigger than that. If you have shared files on the network share that are used by multiple people at the same time, say a spreadsheet or database
    file windows is loosing the connection to that file so the user cannot write to it even if they have the file open. The smb2 caching shouldn't cause that problem.
    It appears that I have to disable from SMB2 and SMB3 and ensure that the clients only use SMB1.
    If SMB2 & SMB3 are disabled from the lanmanworkstation service the clients will not do any caching even if the server has disabled the share cache (offline files for that share).
    The problem with the "Circular reference" error message is standard across all versions of windows that have "smb2" or "smb2 and smb3". Can you recreate that problem? Or is it working on your windows computer and on the machines
    downloaded from modern.ie ?
    My testing has shown that the command "sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi" does not work. Therefore that's the one I want to resolve first. By resolving that I may be able to get the clients accessing the share to behave
    themselves and use the shared files correctly as they always did from Windows 95/NT4 through to Windows XP and 2003/2008 server.
    I'm unable to recreate the problem with multiple users having access to shared database files on windows 2012 server from Windows 7 clients were the access to the files drops once a day or once every couple of days.
    Kindest Regards
    Robert

  • Can I migrate physical hard disks in storage space from Windows 2012 R2 to Windows 2012?

    Hi,
         We have a Windows 2012 R2 server.  It's running storage space with 10 hard disk in Parity mode.  We would like to move the hard disks from Windows 2012 R2 server to Windows 2012, so that we can "free" our windows
    2012 R2 server to do something else.   Can we just unplug the hard disks in Windows 2012 R2 and hook it to Windows 2012 server without any data lose?  If we can do it, what's best "formal" procedures to do it?
    Thanks,
    Tak

    Hi Tak,
    Storage space will be recognized in different servers (and even clients) which support.
    If it is just a "Parity mode", you can turn off the computer, unplug and connect these disks to the new server directly. 
    If any Windows Server 2012 R2 new feature is involved, it may not work in Windows Server 2012 but it should not damage your data and you can still connect these hard disks back to original server.
    However, backup important files is always recommended. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011

    Even though Windows Server 2012 Essentials is being mentioned as a replacement for Windows Home Server 2011, there doesn't seem to be any documentation or mention of can you upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
    Will this work with the beta download and will we then be able to upgrade this version to the RC and/or release version?
    As you may guess I have a Windows Home Server 2011 and am interested in looking at Windows Server 2012 Essentials to see what it offers me. The storage spaces sounds exactly what I want to replace the drive extender on the previous home server version. The
    problem is that I don't mind sacrificing my present server box by installing the beta but it would be nice if it actually retained what settings it could via an upgrade option, which I could then have a chance of using with a proper release version.
     

    Just clarifying about the 'upgrade path' and 32b vs 64b.
    Yes, no in-place upgrade. However, one could theorise about some form of 'migration' being possible, where the list of users, the content of your shares, the current backups, would be 'moved' from old box to new.
    I was in fact pretty sure no such process existed. (Wouldn't it be neat though? AND in future _at least theoretically_ possible, using processes similar to SBS AD migration.)
    From this perspective putting the new box onto the network is similar to replacing WHSv1 with WHS11, in that nothing is carried over. No gain, but no lesser. Working on currently available information.
    The later comment about the work laptop is, TTBOMK, a resounding 'NO'. When attempting to join a member of another AD the 'connect' process stated 'You must 1st remove the PC from the other AD'. I haven't tested this extensively but believe that PC's _capable_
    of operating in an AD (Pro, vs Home, versions) will be made members of the WS12E AD. It is only PC's that do not have 'domain join' capability that are left in workgroup mode.
    TTBOMK, AFAICS, so far, etc...
