Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 installation on Windows Server 2008

Hello,
I am trying to install CRS2008V1 on Windows Server 2008 x64 with SQL Server 2008 and IIS 7.0. Installation wizard says that installation is finished succesfull but I cannot access CMC Console and InfoView. Is there anything which shuld be done more? CRS2008 installation on Windows 2003 was trouble free. I'm very confused now... Anyone can help me?
Regards,
Seb.

I had similar issues.  My resolution was...
- In IIS Manager, create a new Application Pool called "Classic .NET AppPool"
- For that app pool, set the managed pipeline mode to "Classic"
- with that new app pool selected, click on View Applications in the right-hand panel
- make sure that you see all of the Business Objects applications listed, if not...
     - click the Remove Filter link in the top panel
     - open each Business Objects related application and assign it to the new app pool
You may need to do an iisreset at that point, but that cleared up the issue for me.

  • Forms based system on App server 10.1.2.2 windows server 2008 questions

    Hi guys,
    We run a 10g forms based MRP system. We converted to 10g 3 years ago and have been selling our system without issue now for that time.
    The current system has a shelf life of at least 3 more years whilst we develop a new system in 11g and jdeveloper.
    We currently deploy on windows 2003 R2 with app server 10.1.2.2.
    We cant move to patchset 10.1.2.3 as they are not backward compatible with our JAR file and we do not have the man power to upgrade all our customers in a short space of time.
    Eventually 2003 will cease to be available (not sure the shelf life on this, has anyone any idea?)
    Which leaves Server 2008 as the only available server. This does not work with 10.1.2.2.. so we are struggling to find a way round our issues.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    We have just run it through with the same patchset for the installer. This is a clean install of Win OS and installed the 10g database first.
    We receive the following error when installing the App Server (Forms & Reports)
    *"Output generated from configuration assistant "Application Server Control Configuration Assistant":*

    When we type NET HELPMSG 3547 (as suggested), we receive the following error message:

    Are you running Windows Server 2008 (first release) or Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Any suggestions? I will try installing the App Server without installing the database now to see if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • Can't upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

    Even though the "Windows Server Installation and Upgrade" TechNet article (DN627667) claims that I can upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, it seems I can't. I get an error message saying "Windows 2008
    R2 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (Server Core Installation). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows..." What might be causing this issue? Thanks for any input! :)

    Hi,
    Firstly, for retail versions, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1 can be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter.
    I assume you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 retail version, right?
    In addition, it seems that in earlier version than Windows Server 2012,
    once you install the server in Core or with GUI mode, you could not switch to the other. The only option was to rebuild the server from scratch.
    Did you install Windows Server 2008 R2 in GUI? If yes, I recommend you to upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2 in GUI
    mode to see if the issue persists. If it succeed and you want to run in server core, you can just remove the graphical shell and convert your Windows Server 2012 R2 to Server Core.
    Best regards,
    Susie
    Thanks for replying Susie. The 2008 R2 software is the one provided by Microsoft for Action Pack subscribers, so I'm assuming it's not retail. That's another thing, I think I should be installing the GUI as my 2008 has a GUI, not just the server core. For some
    reason I missed that and clicked on the server core only install!

    If there is a guide available for it please let me know . (Specially if there is a tip & trick)
    thank you guys.

    Hi,
    This TechNet online article might be helpful for you.
    How to Upgrade Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee522994(WS.10).aspx
    For your convenience, I have list some general steps for your reference.
    Since the following operation have potential damage to Active Directory database, it is highly suggested that you'd better perform a full backup of Active Directory (System State) firstly. Also it is better to test the following procedure in a similar lab environment first.
    General Steps:
    =============
    1. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to the current DNS server.
    2. Make the new server become a member server of the current Windows Server 2003 domain first.
    3. Upgrade the Windows Server 2003 forest schema to Windows Server 2008 schema with the "adprep /forestprep" command on old server.
    Please run the "adprep.exe /forestprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the schema master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
    Drive:\sources\ADPREP\adprep.exe /forestprep
    4. Upgrade the Windows 2003 domain schema with the "adprep /domainprep" command on old server.
    Please run the "adprep.exe /domainprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the infrastructure master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
    Drive:\sources\ADPREP \adprep.exe /domainprep
    5. Insert Windows Server 2008 Installation Disc in the new server.
    6. Run "dcpromo" on new server to promote it as an additional domain controller in existing Windows 2003 domain, afterwards you may verify the installation of Active Directory.
    Please refer to:
    How to Verify an Active Directory Installation in Windows Server 2003
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816106
    7. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to current DNS server.
    8. Enable Global Catalog on new server and manually Check Replication Topology and afterwards manually trigger replication (Replicate Now) to synchronize Active Directory database between 2 replicas.
    Please note: It will some time to replicate GC between DC, please wait some time with patience.
    9. Disable Global Catalog on the old DC.
    10. Transfer all the FSMO roles from the old DC to the new DC.
    Please refer to:
    How to view and transfer FSMO roles in Windows Server 2003
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801
    11. Verify that the old DNS Server Zone type is Active Directory-Integrated. If not, please refer to:
    How To: Convert DNS Primary Server to Active Directory Integrated
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816101
    Note: Active Directory Integrated-Zone is available only if DNS server is a domain controller.
    12. Install DNS component on new server and configure it as a new DNS Server (Active Directory Integrated-Zone is preferred). All the DNS configuration should be replicated to the new DNS server with Active Directory Replication.
    13. Make all the clients change TCP/IP configuration to point to new server as DNS.
    14. You may configure TCP/IP on all the clients, or adjust DHCP scope settings to make them use the new DNS server.
    Please note: It is a good practice to make the old DC offline for several days and check whether everything works normally with the new server online. If so, you may let the old DC online and run DCPROMO to demote it.
    Hope it helps.

  • Downgrade Windows server 2012 64 bit to windows server 2008 R2 32 bit

    HI,
    what I want to know is when Downgrading Windows server 2012 64 bit to windows server 2008 R2 32 bit, will there be any issues of the license? Can I use the same license of 2012 server for the new 2008 installation.

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, we cannot use the Windows Server 2012 license key to activate a Windows Server 2008 install.
    In addition, which channel the windows server 2012 was purchased through? It seems that the media and product keys to downgrade are not provided although downgrade rights are granted
    since Microsoft only supplies bits and product keys to Volume License customers and only for certain versions and editions of the software.
    I recommend you to contact the Licensing Activation Centers below for assistance:

  • [Forum FAQ] How to install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely

    As we all know,
    the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
    Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
    In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
    Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
    Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
    Get-WindowsFeature
    PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
    Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
    Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
    (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
      2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    (1)  In an existing domain environment
    Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
    Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
    Server Essentials:
    Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
    Note: The type of
    Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
    You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.
    By the way, you can use
    Get-WssConfigurationStatus
    PowerShell cmdlet to
    get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
    ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
    Figure 8.
    (2) In a non-domain environment
    Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
    Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
    Figure 9.
    After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
    After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
    After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
    Figure 12.

    Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
    In an existing domain environment
    In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
    -ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
    Figure 13.
    After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
    Figure 14.
    After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
    Figure 15.
    Next, please use the
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
    Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
    xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
    Figure 16.
    Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
    Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
    Figure 17.
    After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
    Figure 18.
    After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
    Figure 19.
    2. In a non-domain environment
    In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
    below:
    Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
    Server2: 192.168.1.53
    Run
    Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
    Figure 20.
    Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
    to
    add the TrustedHosts entry:
    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
    (Figure 21)
    Figure 21.
    Next, we can use
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
    Figure 22.
    After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
    Figure 23.
    From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
    Figure 24.
    Then you can use
    Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
    The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
    Figure
    25.
    Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
    Figure 26.

  • Upgrading Windows Server 2012 Essential Eval to Windows Server 2012 R2 Retail

    I need to upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Essential Eval version to Windows Server 2012 R2 Retail.  What would be the easiest way to upgrade if license $$ is not an issue? The Server is a DC.  Would the following works:
    1. Upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Essential Eval to Windows Server 2012 Essential Retail
    2. Do a conversion from Windows Server 2012 Essential Retail to Windows Server 2012 Standard Retail (I suppose this just require several command line to enable the 2012 Standard)
    3. Do an in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Standard to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (there is no need to do migration, am I right?)
    Thanks.

    I just did a simulation using Hyper V.  It seems that I'm able to do the upgrade sequence as described but I'm not sure whether there are any side effect that not yet surface out.  Here is the details steps that I took:
    1. Under Windows Server 2012 Essential Eval
    convert the Windows Server Essential 2012 Eval to Windows Server Standard 2012 using the following command in an elevated command prompot
    dism /online /set-edition:ServerStandard /productkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx /accepteula
    press "y" and return to restart as prompted
    the productkey could be retail key or the KMS client keys (just for installation not for activiation)
    2. After reboot, the system become Windows Server 2012 Standard
    using admin account to login
    add admin account to the Enterprise Admins group and Schema Admins group if not already done so, logout and login again
    mount the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard disk in, say, drive d:
    in an elevated command prompt, go the following:
    cd d:\support\adprep
    .\adprep.exe /forestprep
    .\adprep.exe /domainprep
    double click on d: in explore to run the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard setup
    follow the instruction to complete the in-place upgrade from Windos Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2
    3. After reboot into Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, go to the charms bar, select setting -> server info, it will mention the server is not activated, click on Activate Windows and key in the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard retail key

    Best Regards,

    Hi Abby_Doc,
    Regarding to this issue, generally some application is causing sharing violation on files. Then backup fails to access those files. Such as some
    Antivirus program and so on. Please temporarily disable antivirus program and monitor if this issue still persists.
    Meanwhile, you can perform a clean boot in Windows to eliminate software conflicts that occur when you backup.

    In addition, the Process Monitor will help us to find out which file was actually locked. You can download from following link.

    To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:

    Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
    We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

  • Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service eating memory

    Hi
    I have Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essentials Role installed. I have integrated server with Azure AD, Office 365 and Intune using the Essentials Dashboard integration tools.
    I can see that Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service are eating much of server memory. What are these services for and why they use a lot of memory? Specially I am wondering about the Email Service. What is
    it for? Server dont handle email in any way so what is this service for? I tried to google it but found nothing.

    Hi
    I have 6GB of memory.
    When I check from Resource Monitor, for Essentials Storage Service, Commit Set is 4G and Working Set is 1,8G.
    Email Service Commit is about 1,8G and Working Set is just below 1G.
    So these two services are reserving almost all the memory.
    Memory is about 85-90% in use all the time, whether it be night or day.
    Server have about 12 users and at the office there is about 2-6 person at the time. Link between server and office is 100M. There are no other services installed but the basic ones. We use server for AD (O365 integration) and file shares. Traffic in File
    Shares are not big. They are more kind of an warehouse that in busy day-to-day use.
    This server is about couple of months old and it has been like this since it was fired up.
    I dont know what to look for from Event Logs and Process Monitor dont give me anything useful.

  • How to configure Crystal Reports 2008 and IIS7 and Windows Server 2008?

    I have downloaded and installed the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server.  I can open Crystal Reports on the server just fine, but I get HTTP 500 errors when I attempt to view a report hosted on that server via the web.
    As far as I can tell, the handler mappings in IIS7 are not configured properly, although I confirmed that the Crystal Reports 2008 install did add several handlers.  I read that I must configure the application pool to enable 32-bit applications.  I did that and am still getting the same error.  Documentation seems sparse and I've spent the better part of the day searching the forum here with no luck.  What am I missing?

    Don,
    Thank you for the quick response!
    We will ultimately be using ASPX/C#, but this simple case has a very basic report with no databind, just a single text label that reads "test succeeded" and I'm attempting to access it by direct URL (i.e. "http://192.168.99.21/crystalreportviewers12/test.rpt").  This works on our Windows 2000 server running Crystal Reports 8.
    I've also tested with a simple test.aspx file with only the line "Response.Write(System.DateTime.Now.ToString())" and that works just fine.  This file is in the same folder as the test.rpt file.
    If I leave the Application Pool set for the "Integrated" managed pipeline mode, I continue to get a rather generic "500 - Internal server error".  If I switch it to "Classic", I get the following error:
    Failed to Execute URL.
    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

  • Crystal 2008 Runtime error on Windows Server 2008

    I have a simple ASP.Net web applications that is using reports developed in Crystal 2008.  My server OS is Windows Server 2008 and has the Crystal 2008 SP1 runtime controls installed.  When I run the application it works fine until I actually try to run the report.  As the paremeter screen is attempting to load I am getting several script errors on the page. 
    _de is undefined, object not specified, bobj is undefinded are the major messages.  I have researched for several hours and have had no success.  I have come to the conclusion that the web page does not know where to find the .js and .css crystal files or does not have the correct permissions to access the files. 
    One thing that I found online and tried was to add a line of code in the HTML that specified the script as java and the location of the JS file for the viewer.  This helped but still had errors.
    BTW....This application runs fine on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 OS. 
    Anyone had the same issue?  Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Forgot to mention my development environment is VS 2008.
