Downgrading Internet Explorer 10 on Windows Server 2012 Std

Dear Team
Please help me in downgrading IE 10 to IE 9 on Windows Server 2012 as it is not compatible with some Government websites and Tax related websites. If it is not possible then give other alternatives as the working is hampering badly.
Thanks in Advance

Please see

Bitmap image not showing up on windows title bar in windows server 2012 std

I have an application written in VC++ (MFC). Its a legacy app. Recently we were asked to check its compatibility with windows server 2012 std edition. We found some issues and one of those is as follows:
1) We display a BITMAP image using Windows.StretchBlt() function on the titlebar of the app. It shows up properly in windows server 2003, win XP and win 7. But doesn't show up in windows server 2012. I am assuming its a windows paint issue because button
is there on titlebar as I can click on it and see the expected behavior. But its just not visible.
Here is some technical workflow:
-> This function get called to paint the framwnd-
        CMainFrame::OnNcPaint()
             CMDIFrameWnd::OnNcPaint();
             // here we have code to paint the bitmap
Could anyone here please tell me why the same code is behaving differently in win server 2012? Also if there is any solution for this.

This forum is more of a general purpose forum about Windows Server. You question is more closely related to programming issues. You would be better served to post in a .NET development forum.

VMs per Windows Server 2012 Std License?

Hello All,
Can anybody help me please? I have a question in Windows Server 2012 Std License.
1. If I have 2 Windows 2012 STD Licenses ( 2 CPUs) howmany VMs ( Windows 2012 Server OS installed) can I have on the same Physical Server?
2. Can we assign more than 1 license to a host?
3. If the limit is 4 VMs( 4 Windows server 2012 Std VMs) can we have more/other VMs ( like Linux) in-addition to 4 eligible VMs?
Thanks in advance,
Sudhir

In the Hyper-V world, virtual machines are not licensed. Microsoft does not require that you purchase a license for a virtual machine, ever.
Microsoft does require that you purchase a license in order to run a virtual instance of Windows, always. So, if you have 3 virtual instances of Windows Server Standard, then you need to purchase two Windows Server Standard licenses for the host, because
each license allows for up to two virtual instances of Windows Server Standard.
Since Microsoft does not require that you purchase a license for a virtual machine, they will not charge you to run non-Microsoft operating systems inside them. Whether or not you have to pay for a Linux virtual instance is entirely dependent
upon the licensing of that Linux distribution. Any checks you write for them wouldn't be to Microsoft, though.
This means that, yes, you can legally run an unlimited number of Linux guests on Hyper-V without paying additional licensing fees to Microsoft. If you are using Hyper-V Server and have no Windows guests, you won't pay Microsoft anything. If you are using
Windows Server with Hyper-V and have no Windows guests, then you have to pay for a single host license but you won't pay Microsoft anything else.
In the scenario that you presented, the necessary Microsoft licensing for a dual-core host with WS12-Std installed, 3 WS12-Std guests, and any number of Linux guests will be covered by two WS12-Std licenses. You have one leftover WS12-Std instance that
you can legally run on that host.

How to downgrade from Internet explorer 11 to internet explorer 10 on windows server 2008 R2

Hi,
Can someone please let me know how I can downgrade from IE11 to IE10 in my windows server 2008 R2. When I go to control Panel -> Programs -> features and I don't see any program name with internet explorer in that list. Also, when I go to on
'View installed updates', I don't see any update related to IE 11 installed. And, when I click on 'Turn windows feature on or off', it takes me to Server Manager and in there I dont find any feature related to IE.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Internet Explorer install stuck on "Installing Windows Internet Explorer Core Components" Windows Server 2003

I am running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 x86.
I'm trying to install Internet Explorer 7 but the installation is stuck on "Installing Windows Internet Explorer Core Components". CPU Usage is stuck at 100% (svchost.exe is at 99%).
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should try next. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,

Well, I decided to just reboot my machine and IE 7 seems to have installed itself properly.

Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Server 2008 R2

I need to install IE 9 or IE 10 on a Windows Server 2008 R2. IE 9 or 10 is specified because of compatibility with some of our applications that have been developed in house.
An earlier post listed the link
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/A/C/8AC7C482-BC74-492E-B978-7ED04900CEDE/IE10-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe as a source for the IE 10 download, but when I downloaded it and tried to install it, I got an error "Operating System is not supported".
I am hesitant to download it from one of the non-microsoft sites that offer it.
Is there a way to download and install IE 10 to Windows Server 2008 R2?
Thanks very much for your help.

Hello Logan,
Unfortunately, I did not find any download link of IE 9 or 10 from Microsoft's server. I think they are closing IE 10 or below versions for their OS.
However, I found an external link to download IE 10, if you want then visit:-

Have you tried manually adding the Application Server role using Server manager? That might give you a better error message on why the prerequisites installer can't add it. If you can successfully add it using Server manager then you
can just re-run the prerequisites installer and it should be able to install the rest of the prereqs.

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I've tried to add this Application Role manualy. The error log I pasted here has been generated after this manual installation...
So it still doesn't work. :(
Any other ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

This problem reproduced on all my web-servers (Windows Server 2012 Std). How can I fix these problems

Hi,
Windows update error 0x80070020 can occur if a program is interfering with the automatic update process.
Restart your computer or restart your computer in safe mode with network, then try to install the updates. Detailed information you may reference the link below(this applies also to Windows Server 2012 ):
You receive error 0x80070020 when you use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site to install updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883825/en-us
If the problem still exits, open Run, type %windir% and hit
Enter, find a text file named WindowsUpdate, uploaded the log file.

How do I install user client access licence on Windows Server 2012

I have recently setup a Windows Server 2012 Std. I have not configured any roles yet. The server licence has been installed and activated successfully. How do I get my Windows Server CAL 2012 ( tracking ID is 15 digits) onto the server. I have google
but did not get the correct result. The closest I found was
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc540509(v=ws.10).aspx.
I am not too familiar with the Server 2012 display so I am not certain if I am missing something. If the CALs are not captured on the server, will this restrict user access to the 2012 server?
I thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,
I’m glad to hear that you have found the thread as reference. As DonPick mentioned, since these are Windows Server CALs, there is no activation nor input of any kind needed. You bought the
CALs, you have the paper, you are now licensed, there is no configuration step necessary. If there is anything else I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will be very happy to help.

Hyper-V 2012 High Availability using Windows Server 2012 File Server Storage

Hi Guys,
Need your expertise regarding hyper-v high availability. We setup 2 hyper-v 2012 host in our infra for our domain consolidation project. Unfortunately, we don't have hardware storage that is said to be a requirement that we can use to create a failover cluster
for hyper-v host to implement HA. Here's the setup:
Host1
HP Proliant L380 G7
Windows Server 2012 Std
Hyper-V role, Failover Cluster Manager and File and Storage Services installed
Host2
Dell PowerEdge 2950
Windows Server 2012 Std
Hyper-V role, Failover Cluster Manager and File and Storage Services installed
Storage
Dell PowerEdge 6800
Windows Server 2012 Std
File and Storage Services installed
I'm able to configure the new feature about Shared Nothing Live Migration - i'm able to move VM's back and fort between my hosts without storage. But this is planned and proactive approach. My concern is to have my hyper-v host to become highly available in
the event of system failure. If my host1 dies, the VMs should go/move to host2 and vice versa. In setting this up, i believe i need to enable the failover clustering between my hyper-v hosts which i already did but upon validation, it says "No disks
were found on which to perform cluster validation tests." Is it possible to cluster it using just a regular windows file server? I've read about SMB 3.0 and i've configured it as well i'm able to save VMs on my file server, but i don't think that my hyper-v
hosts are already highly available.
Any feedback and suggestions or recommendation is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Your shared storage is a single point of failure with this scenario so I would not consider the whole setup as a production configuration... Also setup is both slow (all I/O is travelling down the wire to storage server, running VMs from DAS is ages faster)
and expensive (third server + extra Windows license). I would think twice about what you do and either deploy a built-in VM replication technologies (Hyper-V Replica) and apps built-in clustering features that does not require shared storage (SQL Server and
Database Mirroring for example, BTW what workload do you run?) or use some third-party software creating fault tolerant shared storage from DAS or investing into physical shared storage hardware (HA one of course).
Hi VR38DETT,
Thanks for responding. The hosts will cater a domain controller (on each host), Web filtering software (Websense), Anti-Virus (McAfee ePO), WSUS and an Auditserver as of the moment. Is the Hyper-V Replica somewhat give "high availability" to VMs or Hyper-V
hosts? Also, is the cluster required in order to implement it? Haven't tried that but worth a try.

Windows Server 2012 Standard entitlement in Microsoft Action Pack Subscription

In the Microsoft Action Pack Subscription Windows Server 2012 Std shows "2" as the entitlement.
I'm not sure what this means. A "normal" Server 2012 Std includes:
1. One activation for the host (Hyper-V)
2. Two activations for guests on the same host
....making a total of three activations
I'm guess from reading some threads that partners don't get the same as a normal Std license, but it's pretty fuzzy.
I have two physical servers running Windows 2008R2 with the hyper-V role enabled, each hosts a number of VMs (all with their own licenses). I want to upgrade to Hyper-V v3 (2012). It has been suggested that the two entitlements will not allow me to install
Win2012Std on both machines, and that I will only be able to install on one of the machines with a 2nd virtual installation on the same machine. I got kinda excited and thought I would be able to install core on each machine, then to install 2 VMs on each
machine to test replication etc.
Does anyone know what the story really is?

In Place Upgrade WSUS windows 2008 R2 into windows server 2012

Hi Team,
i had question. I have windows server 2008 R2 and installed WSUS role at that server.
Can I do inplace upgrade into windows server 2012 std edition?
is there any impact into wsus services?
thanks

If it is not a DC, upgrade should be easy. And there shouldn’t be any problems.
The question was about upgrading a WSUS server, and regardless of whether it's a DC or not, it most emphatically will not be problem free. In fact, it's flat out not possible! On WS2012 the upgrade will be blocked if WSUS v3 is present,
and on WS2012R2 it will corrupt the WSUS installation beyond repair requiring a reinstallation of the operating system.
Please review the
WSUS v6 documentation regarding upgrade requirements.
Warning
Upgrade from any version of Windows Server that supports WSUS 3.2 to Windows Server® 2012 R2 requires that you first uninstall WSUS 3.2.
In Windows Server 2012, upgrading from any version of Windows Server with WSUS 3.2 installed is blocked during the installation process if WSUS 3.2 is detected, and you are prompted to first uninstall Windows Server Update Services prior to upgrading Windows
Server 2012.
However, because of changes in Windows Server 2012 R2, when upgrading from any version of Windows Server and WSUS 3.2 to Windows Server 2012 R2, the installation is not blocked. Failure to uninstall WSUS 3.2 prior to performing a Windows Server 2012 R2 upgrade
will cause the post installation tasks for WSUS in Windows Server 2012 R2 to fail. In this case, the only known corrective measure is to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows Server 2012 R2.

Internet Explorer 11 and Flash on Windows Server 2012 R2

I used Windows Server 2012 R2 which has built within it Internet Explorer version 11. When loading a web site which has Flash content it prompts me to install Flash, but when I navigate to the Flash download site it says I must enable it because it is already installed.
After reviewing the directions for How to Enable Flash, the directions become worthless because they don't match the screen that I see.
QUESTIONS:
Does IE Version 11 have Flash built in or not?
If if does, how do I enable Flash?
If it doesn't, how do I install Flash?
Please don't tell me to load a media-rich web site, and go to "Manage Add-Ons" and enable Flash because the enable Flash command doesn't show up.

Repair IE? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378
The thing is... Adobe collaborates with MS on the updates for IE10 &11 in Win8 &8.1 (server 2012 also AFAIK) and then hands the code off to them. It's "Redmond's baby" after that. There's a KB in Windows updates (KB2898108) that prevents downloading the ActiveX plugin throug Adobe updater from here. Even if you manually download it, it'll prevent you from installing it. I have a Win 8 and Win 8.1 test machine set up and I've tried to uninstall the KB with no success.
Unfortunately I don't have a Server 2012 machine so it limits my troubleshooting. Chris Campbell has more insight into the ins and outs of Server 2012. Hopefully he'll add to this thread.
