Creating System Restore Points in Windows Server 2012

Searching for "Create a restore point" on Windows Server 2012, brings up a link that when clicked takes you to System Properties. Once there, there is no System Protection tab or option to create a system restore point. Windows Server Backup
is installed and functioning.
Is this feature available in Windows Server 2012? Was it replaced with Shadow Copies for Shared Folders?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

HI,
To create a system restore point, run msconfig.exe, that will launch a UI, click the tools tab, select system restore, that should invoke a UI which asks if you want to restore to an earlier version or do you want to create a new restore point. I clicked
"create a new restore point" The problem that I ran into is that when I click that button is I receive the error: can't find "C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe". That's the .exe which supports the "Create / restore point' processes. I
posted a question about the missing .exe on the windows > windows 8.1 > Repair and recovery forum and was told to post it here. :>) The subject title of that post is "rstrui.exe Create a system restore point on windows server 8 Standard".
That post documents the steps that I followed trying to create a system restore point. (FYI: I'm not trying to backup any drives. I know what a system restore point is and what backup is. They are two different animals). I want to create a restore
point prior in order to prep for installing an App. So, If a problem occurs; the registry keys and app files can be backed out to some extent. BTW: Create system restore point on windows 8.1does work perfectly well, there's a different UI. I just didn't
know where to post the initial problem.regards,Steve

Rstrui.exe Create a system restore point on windows server 8 standard

Hi,
Before making system changes, I need to create a system restore point on windows server 2008 Standard with SP2 installed., I found where to accomplish that via the UI, but the file isn't found when I search the C:\windows directory on the server.
The executable should be C:\windows\system32\rstrui.exe, unless it was changed for Server 2008. I have system protection turned on for the C: drive.This problem also exists on Windows server R2 enterprise with all updates applied.
I searched the install media (DVD) it wasn't there. I tried the full name (rstrui.exe) as well as truncated versions. I've searched on all of the applicable forums for rstrui.exe and "create system restore point".
Does someone know where I can get rstrui.exe for windows server 8. It's not available on windows server R2 enterprise or essentials either. If there is an alternative method of creating restore points on windows server 8, please point me in the
correct direction. Is it available in any of the variations of windows server 12. I have all of the updates installed when checking for how to create a system restore point or with searching for rstrui.exe. BTW, performing "system backups" or implementing
"previous versions" functionality work just fine.
Thank you in advance,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I replied the same question you posted earlier:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/68352496-2fe8-4320-8848-f22d0d1a6f6b/rstruiexe-missing-unable-to-create-restore-point-windows-server-8-std-r2?forum=windowsbackup
To me it seems that the function is removed in both Windows 2008 SP2 and Windows 2008 R2. Here is my original reply:
I did not find this file either on my new-installed Windows 2008 SP2 system. I assume it is retired in Windows Server 2008 and the function is replaced by Windows Server Backup. I cannot confirm why there is still an option in MSCONFIG which point to
rstrui.exe but I can find the file nowhere. Also this option is removed in Windows Server 2008 R2.
Here link a link for using Windows Server Backup to create system state backup as a restore point:

How to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1

hi i am bhaskar ... how to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1 and how to restore system from a restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1.. is this option available or not ? what is the difference between shadow copies and
restore point ? instead of restore point we have this shadow copies option in windows server 2008 ?Bhaskar

AFIK, Restore Points doesn’t exist in Windows 2008.
Volume Shadow Copy option can be used to achieve:
Creating consistent backups of open files and applications
Creating shadow copies for shared folders
Creating transportable shadow copies using a hardware provider — for backup, testing and data mining scenarios
Quickly recovering and restoring files and data
It is more like a file, data, application backup.

Failure to create a shared protection point during Windows Server 2012 R2 backup.

Several partitions on a system disk have been extended as well as the backup destination partition. After that Windows Server 2012 R2 failed the backup of a system disk with the following error message 0x8004230C. The Server stated it had failed to create
a shared protection point on source volumes and indicated a problem with volume shadow writer. What needs to be done to fix this error and does it have anything to do with partitions being extended?
Vladimir Shipitsyn

Hi,
What destination did you use to do the previous unsuccessful backup? You could try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot errors where the cause is reported by an underlying layer to Windows Server Backup.

Error creating VM on Hyper-V Windows server 2012 R2 (0x80070569).

I recently installed in my domain a member server 2012 r2 with Hyper-V Role, and got the following error when creating a new vm:
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.(0x80070569).
The user is momber of Domain Admins group and is logged on the server. I noted that the domain admins group has not the right "log on as a batch Job". Is this right required to create vm ? What are the others requirements to install and admin virtual
machines in Hyper-V?

Hi Claudio,
"As Microsoft recommended 'best practice' for Hyper-V servers is to not install any additional Roles or Features that do not specifically support virtualization. As an example, in a Hyper-V Cluster, the Hyper-V Role and the Failover Clustering feature are
installed to support highly available virtualized workloads. Hyper-V hosts play a critical role in an organizations' virtualization strategy. Microsoft recommends that the Hyper-V servers be managed in a separate OU in Active Directory (if they are domain-joined).
Only group policies that apply specifically to Hyper-V host machines should be applied to this OU. This minimizes the risk of a policy conflict affecting the proper functioning in a Hyper-V host. "

Fail to install Distibution Point on Windows Server 2012

I have been trying to install a distribution point via sccm 2012 on a windows 2012 server. I keep getting errors about the drive not found (distribution manager failed to verify drive specified by user on distribution point) and it won't install. It worked
on all the other servers I tried, but this one keeps giving trouble.
Does anyone have any idea as to the cause?

Visual Studio Update 2 hangs for 13 minutes on "Creating a system restore point..."

It appears that Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 hangs for a long period of time before it tries to create a system restore point. Should I create a Microsoft Connect issue for this?
Here is what I did:
I created a new Windows 8 x86 Virtual Machine using VirtualBox. I installed Visual Studio 2012 and Update 1 because Update 2 was not yet out. I came back 1 week later and tried to install Visual Studio Update 2.
When I ran the installer on the Virtual machine, it hung for seemingly 10 minutes at "Creating a system restore point..." I powered off the virtual machine and disabled system restore. I then ran with the /layout option on the host machine
so I could pre-download the files. Then I tried again.
Again, it hung. This time I let it go. It hung for exactly 13 minutes before it gave up and continued on to the install. The log file says this:
[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: Apply begin
[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: MUX: Apply Phase Begin

[0EBC:0F90][2013-04-18T12:39:36]: MUX: Free Disk Space before install: SystemDrive C:\ 32519413760 bytes AppDrive C:\ 32519413760 bytes
[01F4:0748][2013-04-18T12:52:34]: Creating a system restore point.
[01F4:0748][2013-04-18T12:52:34]: Could not create system restore point, error: 0x80070422. Continuing...
NOTE: Although it says "Creating a system restore point" at 12:52, it actually displayed the message on the screen at 12:39. That indicates that it was really doing something else during those 13 minutes, not creating the restore point.
That is corroborated by the fact that it took a long time regardless of system restore being on or off.
If no one has any information or explanation, I will create an issue on Microsoft Connect.

I have the same issue. Visual Studio 2013 Professional update 2 was not installed from Web installer. Rather I downloaded a trial version and now want to uninstall it. However, I let the uninstaller try to create a Restore Point all night while I slept.
Next day, not done. So I clicked cancel, and it then commenced to create a restore point for the cancel. I did let the cancel run for awhile but I rebooted.
I then researched something on how to disable the restore point security on my drive, but that did not deter Visual Studio from trying to protect me and it TRIES to create a restore point before uninstalling. Just hangs forever. I don't need a restore point
for an eval copy of VS, thank you very much. Perhaps a simple dialog ("Do you want to create a restore point?") would be helpful?
Update: turning off Windows Defender fixed the problem.

Systems Requirements - Weblogic 11g on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
We are migrating the Delivery Environment from RedHat to Windows 2012 Server. We use Weblogic 11g and I need some help to know about the system requirements for a Windows Server 2012 platform running Weblogic 11g, could you tell me the equivalent Windows platform (CPU/RAM) of a Linux RedHat with that system features:
RAM: 24GB
CPU: 2 MACHINES X 2 CORE
Weblogic 11g system requirements will be higher in Windows Server 2012 than in RedHat if we want to keep up a good performance?
Thanks!

Only 10.3.6 using jdk 1.7u15+is certified on Windows 2012.
System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 ( xls)
The system requirements are here:

There is no benchmark information so I really cannot comment on performance.

Windows Server 2012 R2 NIC Teaming and DHCP Issue

Came across a weird issue today during a server deployment. I was doing a physical server deployment and got Windows installed and was getting ready to connect it to our network. Before connecting the Ethernet cables to the network adapters, I created a
NIC Team using Windows Server 2012 R2 built-in software with a static IP address (we'll say its 192.168.1.56). Once I plugged in the Ethernet cables, I got network access but was unable to join our domain. At this time, I deleted the NIC team and the two network
adapters got their own IP addresses issued from DHCP (192.168.1.57 and 192.168.1.58) and at this point I was able to join our domain. I recreated the NIC team and set a new static IP (192.168.1.57) and everything was working great as intended.
My issue is when I went into DHCP I noticed a random entry that was using the IP address I used for the first NIC teaming attempt (192.168.1.56), before I joined it to the domain. I call this a random entry because it is using the last 8 characters of the
MAC address as the hostname instead of the servers hostname.
It seems when I deleted the first NIC team I created (192.168.1.56), a random MAC address Server 2012 R2 generated for the team has remained embedded in the system. The IP address is still pingable even though an ipconfig /all shows the current NIC team
with the IP 192.168.1.57. There is no IP address of 192.168.1.56 configured on the current server and I have static IPs set yet it is still pingable and registering with DHCP.
I know this is slightly confusing but I am hoping someone else has encountered this issue and may be able to tell me how to fix this. Simply deleting the DHCP entry does not do the trick, it comes back.

Hi,
Please confirm you have choose the right NIC team type, If you’ve previously configured NIC teaming, you’re aware NIC teams usually require the assistance of network-side
protocols. Prior to Windows 2012, using a NIC team on a server also meant enabling protocols like EtherChannel or LACP (also known as 802.1ax or 802.3ad) on network ports.
More information:

Creation of System Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2.

Hi all,
I am stuck at a point I am looking for a system stored procedure named 'sp_dboption' in SQL Server 2012 & R2 but could not find.
Searched for it on the net and found that, this stored procedure 'sp_dboption' is now obsolete. So I tried to copy the content of 'sp_dboption' stored procedure from SQL Server 2008 R2 and create new system stored procedure with this name 'sp_dboption' in
SQL Server 2012 but was unable to create the system stored procedure.
Can you guys please tell me how to create system stored procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2. The reason of why I want to achieve this is because I have used 'sp_dboption' system stored procedure in my application to create a database.
As 'sp_dbotion' stored procedure is present in SQL Server 2008 R2 I am able to create the database in SQL server 2008 R2 but not in SQL server 2012.
Can you please guide me how to create system stored procedure. I am out of luck.
Please assist me, thanks & looking for help at the earliest. Hope someone will come to the fore and help me.

Hi Vishwajeet,
If you tried to create any object in the sys schema, you will get the error below.
The specified schema name "sys" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
So I am afraid creating any object in sys schema is not supported by SQL Server. Here is a similar link for your reference.
How to create table in SYS schema in SQL Server?
Though sp_dboption is not in SQL Server 2012, does creating a user-defined one with the same content in 2008 make any difference in your business? You just need to specify the fully qualified name dbname.dbo.sp_dboption.
If you are still interested in creating a system sp_dboption, you can register it with the
sp_ms_marksystemobject.

Adding second domain controller in Windows server 2012 R2

controller on a Windows Server 2012 R2 even if our primary domain controller is on a machine that has Windows Server 2008 R2?

I think I found the answer to my question.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464018(v=ws.10).aspx
"In Windows Server 2012, Adprep.exe is integrated into the AD DS installation process and runs automatically as needed. For example, when you install the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012 into an existing domain and forest, then adprep
/forestprep and adprep /domainprep automatically run and report the results of the operations.
Some organizations may prefer to run Adprep.exe separately in advance of an AD DS installation. For this reason, Adprep.exe is also included in the \Support\Adprep folder of the operating system disk.
In Windows Server 2012, there is only one 64-bit version of Adprep.exe. It can be run remotely from any server that runs a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012. The computer where you run it can be either
domain-joined or in a workgroup.
The version of Adprep.exe in Windows Server 2012 includes new syntax and parameter options in order to run it remotely. For more information, see
Adprep."
For more information about the objects and containers that are created when the schema is extended to support Windows Server 2012, see
Windows Server 2012: Changes to Adprep.exe.

Hello,
Is it Oracle database 12c compatible with Windows Server 2012. What are the system requirements needed for Windows server 2012 on Oracle database 12c?
Thanks

Hi Voitto,
Actually , it is not a windows related question .
But I found some infomation :

Windows Server 2012 Windows Backup failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).

The Volume Shadow Copy service initially was running under the context of System, so we thought that ‘System’ doesn’t have permissions to access network shares.
When the Volume Shadow Copy service was running under the context of System, this was the error logged:
“failed with following error code '0x8078014B' (There was a failure in creating a directory on the backup storage location.).”
Which is likely due to not having permissions to write to the network location.
This is a scheduled backup trying to write to a network location, so we changes the service to run under the context of an account that does have permissions to write to the network share.
  Then the error changed to this:
“failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).”

We aren’t really seeing anything that gives any hint on what the issue is.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

We are trying to back up folders/files from 2 local drives (C: & D:), both of which have only 10% space used, and 100 GB free.
We are attempting to back the files up to a Remote Shared File (and there is 100+ GB free space out there).
  If we try another network location, we receive the exact same error.
This is Windows Server 2012, not running Hyper-V and is a physical server not a VM.
Thank you for the link.
