Downgrading from Server 2012 to 2008

I have already purchased Server 2012 standard 64 bit and installed it only to find out that the software I am running only accepted Server 2008. How do I downgrade to Server 2008. Also, will I be able to use the 2012 when my software accepts
it? Thanks.

I recommend you install Hyper-V role on your Server 2012 (Std comes with license for 2 VMs), setup a Server 2008 VM for your legacy software, and put serious consideration into dumping the software that does not work on Server 2012. Server 2012 has been
out for 3 years. A software vendor who has not kept up is not worth keeping.
And yes, you can downgrade to server 2008, although this is a horrible idea. By downgrade, I mean install Server 2008 from scratch, and get a 2008 license key from Microsoft under the same 2012 Std purchase.

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:

NW 6.5.8 CIFS access from Server 2012 R2 (domain auth)

Need to access (without installing client) NW 6.5.8 server from Server 2012 R2.
Up to Server 2008 R2 Domain authentication works perfectly fine, on 2012 R2 I managed to get it working a couple of times, never again. Reverting to eDir authentication with SMB Signature disabled works (can access shares fine)
Is that known issue? (not that I would expect any fix for an obsolete OS)

Server 2012 X64 R2 DNS Server keeps shutting down after inplace upgrade from Server 2012 X64

Hi,
ever since upgrading from Server 2012 X64 to Server 2012 R2 X64 my dns server keeps shutting down every several minutes before having to do a restart. When viewing the event log this is all I see..
The DNS Server service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 497 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
if I look in the Application Error Log, I will also find the following:

I have tried removing and then reinstalling the DNS Server role, but the same situation occurs..
thanks,

Hi,
I'm going crazy, I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade. I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
a file instead of the registry. As a test I:
-1- killed all my dns data,
-2- uninstalled the dns server role
-3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
-4- reinstalled the DNS server role
-5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
everything works okay, no crashes, then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
Please help, this is killing me..
thanks in advance..

Downgrade Windows Server 2012 License to WIndows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
I'm looking to downgrade a windows server 2012 open license to windows server 2008 r2.
Thing is i do not have an existing windows server 2008 r2 VLK.
Can anyone confirm that this downgrade is possible, as clearinghouse is not helping by telling me that i can't buy windows server 2008 r2 licenses

Clearinghouse is right in stating you can't buy Windows Server 2008 R2
licenses anymore.
You'll need a Windows Server 2008 R2 disk kit and product key. They'll sell those to you, since you already own a license that allows you to install and use the software as part of your Windows Server 2012 license.

SQL Server 2012 DB Engine does not start (clean install with server 2012 and 2008 R2)

I'm trying to do clean installation of SQL server 2012 on Server 2012 (which is runnning as a VM on ESX server) and getting this "wait on the DB engine recovery failed" message. Initially, I though this issue was related to some permission issues
but changing the permission or service accounts didn't help. I'm not seeing any "denied" messages in the log files either. Even with Server 2008 R2 (clean built VM), the installation gives the exactly the same error messages.
My setup is purely for test purpose; so, the security is not a concern. Can someone help or give me a clue where to look?

Hi Nababoya:
As you are telling this is a test installation process...
In the logs i m seeing the error message "An error occurred while processing the log for database 'model'. If possible, restore from backup. If a backup is not available, it might be necessary to rebuild the log.".
1) If the SQL Services was installed successfully and SQL Service was not able to start because of model database issue...
    1.1) If you have model database SQL back file, start the SQL Server in single user mode with minimum configuration and try to restore MODEL database
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverfaq/archive/2011/05/11/inf-hey-my-sql-server-service-is-not-starting-what-do-i-do.aspx
    1.2) If you don't have backups., try to rebuild the system databases but make sure that you are not losing any data critical data on master and SQL Jobs on MSDB
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207003%28v=sql.110%29.aspx#RebuildProcedure
2) As if this is a new installation try to repair the instance with the help of setup media file
3) If the repair option fails., the last option wipe out the complete SQL Server components from Services.msc and Registries and start new installation.
4) Make sure when you are doing un-installation all the required SQL Server components on services.msc should be in stop state.
Hope this helps and let me know any questions...
Thanks,
Thanks, Satish Kumar. Please mark as this post as answered if my anser helps you to resolves your issue :)

Network Drives Losing Connection from Server 2012 to Windows 7 64bit Machines

I have about 20 users at my facility and recently upgraded our server from one running server 2003 to one running server 2012. Since that occurred, I have had numerous issues that I did not encounter on the old server.
Lately, users have been losing connection to the shared network drives randomly and constantly. The drives will come back on-line on their own but it could be 2 minutes or 30 minutes before they do and when users are in the middle of working on a document
from the network, they are unable to save until the drive comes back. Manually disconnecting and re-mapping them works sometimes but then the problem will re-occur. I have tried re-doing the shares and security settings and run a couple of supposed hotfixes
on the client side and the server side to no avail.
Now our regional office is suggesting that I re-connect the old server and then rebuild the new one with server 2008 r2, something I would like to avoid if possible.
I feel like this is a simple setting that I am missing, no conditions have changed except for the new server.
The server is a Intel Xeon CPU E5-2609 2.40GHz with Server 2012 64 bit on it. All computers (except on on 32 bit) are running Windows 7 Enterprise edition 64 bit.
Please help.

I made this change to the registry on the server and am waiting to see if I have any more drops.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
Value:
autodisconnect
Data
type : REG_DWORD
Value:
ffff (Hex)
There was a client side change suggested but I am missing that value for the client side change and others in the organization who don't have it are not experiencing this problem.

In-place upgrade from Server 2012 to 2012R2 "just quits"

Would appreciate any suggestions that don't involve doing a detailed documentation capture of how the server is configured followed by a clean install, that is what I'm trying to avoid if possible.
I am not trying to do anything special or scripted, just a standard OS upgrade.

Hi Pepper, Malort, Robert and Brandon,
I am experiencing the same issue using either new release (april 2014) or the gold release 2012 R2 DVD from Volume license (SA) download. Both confirmed working on other installations. Setup just suddenly quits with the same non existent logs
files in $windows.~bt and c:\windows\setupact.log has a warning statement "Failed to change the UI language to en-US"
The server is running as a vm and would otherwise appear to be running perfectly. It is a DC(GC), DHCP, DNS & CA for my site.
Going to try System Update readiness Tool KB947821-v33.
Heads up MSFP Anne, any word on the cause and/or fix?

Andre

Moving user profiles from Server 2012 with RDS services to User profile disks Server 2012R2

Hello i have a question about moving my C:\users profiles.
My current settings on the servers are:
AD-Server 2012
SQL-Server 2012
TS- server with RDS roles (RDwebacces, RDs broker, RD session host) 2012
everything about user profiles is now in C:\Users
My new settings for the server will be:
AD-ActiveDirectory - server
SQL-Server
TS1- RDS (RDwebacces, broker, RDS server group management) 2012R2 (I have enabeld userProfileDisks to Filesistem server)
TS2- RDS(Session host) load balance 2012R2
TS3- RDS (Session host) load balance 2012
FileSistem - server ( here i will have on E: partition the new functionality UserProfileDisks) 2012R2
So is there a way to move profiles from TS - C:\Users to FileSistem - E:\UserProfileDisks
I am new to this so any idea wil be helpful.

Hi,
If the UPD is configured on the server which holds existing user profiles, just select the option:
store all user settings and data inside the profile disk.
Since you are moving user profiles between different servers, then user profile contents need to be migrated manually.
Best Regards,
Amy

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...

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm something firstly?
Would you please let me know if all Android devices
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.
Run the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Best Practices Analyzer

RDP via remote web workspace from Server 2012 R2 Essentials on Win 8 Client unable to connect to local printer.

Hi,
Having an issue redirecting to a local printer when using a remote desktop session initiated through from a Essentials 2012 R2 server via remote web workspace on a Win 8.1 client, it doesn't pick up the Local printer, or even give the option of which
local resources to use on connection, just goes straight through and displays the remote desktop on connection.
I know its not a server global policy issue as it works fine on a Win 7 client with the same user being able to print locally whilst in a RD session
Any idea's as to how I can resolve this issue and enable local redirected printing or at least give me the options of specifiying which resources to connect on the local machine at the start of a session.
It's complicated I think as the essentials box is acting as the gateway so I cannot setup a session directly, the certificates are all working correctly so I am confused as to whats causing the issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please try to connect the printer with IP address and check the result. You can go through beneath article might helpful in your case.
Windows Server 2012 Essentials : Add a Network Printer
Try to change the selected print drivers:
1. Return back to the Devices and Printers window
2. Double click on your printer, and then double click on Customize your printer
3. Click on the Advanced tab, and change the print driver to the one we just installed.
4. If you wish, you can also click on the Sharing tab, and make the printer available.

Yes, domain admins are members of the local administrator group when the macine is joined to a domain, but the opposite is not true. Local admins are not necessarily members of the domain admins group.

Tim,
Yes i Understand that a local administrator is not always a domain administrator, but i think this has nothing to do with my problem.
To be sure i have logged in to this server with the local administrator user and started the upgrade again. As expected I got the same error message, so this is nog a permissions problem.
Can somebody who can help me to solve this probleem?
Regards,
Tom

Unable to uninstall or remove ADFS Service Proxy and Web Agents from Server 2012

I have a Server 2012 machine that's a primary host for company websites. An inexperienced developer (with FAR more access than he should've had; yes, epic fail) was able to install ADFS Service Proxy and ADFS 1.1 Web Agents (for SAML) on the server. He didn't
complete the configuration, realizing he'd over stepped his boundaries. He did install the rollup update 3 to ADFS though. However, now I'm unable to uninstall the components. It's not listed in the updates and the option to remove from Roles/Features is grayed
out.
Any help would be awesome!
