Downgrading Windows 2013 R2 Essentials to Small Business Server

I need to operate a Server and exchange for my small business. I purchased Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard which included exchange and no one would help me set it up. So I was told to buy Windows 2012 R2 Essentials and downgrade to Small Business
Server 2011 Essentials it includes exchange.
I called Microsoft as my software is Retail from the Microsoft Store here in Redmond, WA.
Everyone says a huge amount of conflicting information.
1 - SBS 2011 Essentials does not contain exchange
2- I need to convert as a downgrade to SBS 2011 Standard which I cant do
3 - I need the install media and need to call the activation line first ..
Please help. There is no media I can find out there but I need to do this ASAP.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

1 - SBS 2011 Essentials does not contain exchange
- Correct, Essentials does not include Exchange. No version of Essentials OS includes Exchange.
If you are in need of assistance to set this up, I might suggest you consider using office 365 for your email.

Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Remote Web Access fails to connect to Windows 8.1 PC

I am using Remote Web Access (RWA) gateway with Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.
There are several workstations all running Windows 7, and have been using RWA without an issue for well over a year.
There is now a Windows 8.1 Pro PC added to this domain, but the Remote Desktop does not connect.
The Windows 8.1 PC appears in the RWA pages, It requests the credentials to connect, and then fails with the following error:
Remote Desktop can't find the remote computer "COMPUTERNAME". This might mean that the "COMPUTERNAME" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are typing to connect to.
I can connect to all other PC fine (running Windows 7). I have tried from different locations and PC's and the results are the same.
I thought I had fixed this problem a few weeks back. After running all updates on the server and Windows 8.1 PC, and rebooting both, the RDP worked, but I think it only worked once and then failed the next time someone tried to use it. I have not had
a successful connection to the Windows 8.1 PC since.
I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot this as there are no errors on the system which can't be accessed.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Mr Cheese,
à
I turned off the Firewall on the Windows 8.1 PC and the RDP is now working.
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Based on your description, this issue is related to Firewall. Would you please let me know current situation
of this issue?
Just addition. Please open Control Panel, select Windows Firewall and click Allow an app or feature through
Windows Firewall. Then please check if Remote Desktop is allowed. Meanwhile, please click Advanced settings in Windows Firewall panel and click Inbound Rules, then check if rules which be related to Remote Desktop were enabled.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Migration of Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials

Hi,
I am trying to migrate Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials by following the steps given in the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200112.aspx
I have looked at other threads on the forum but none of them have been too helpful.
The issue: When
I run the Migration Preparation Tool on the Source Server, it runs successfully and does not report any errors. However, when I try installing Windows Server 2012 Essentials on the Destination Server, it displays an error that says 'Source
Server not prepared for migration: After you run the Migration Preparation Tool successfully on your source Server, click retry'.
The Source Server has 2 network adapters-one for the local network and the other for connection to the internet and the router is set as the default gateway this adapter.
Since it is mentioned in the documentation - 'configure your Source Server to use one network adapter', I'm wondering if this is the issue and I need to make changes in this configuration?
On running the Microsoft IT Environment Health Scanner tool it
reported an error - 'DNS Server listening on multiple addresses' and a warning ‘Domain Controller listening on multiple addresses’. Both point to the same solution KB 272294 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272294).
But it did not remove the errors.
Other steps performed:
As per the steps, I performed a backup, installed recent service packs and synchronized the source server time with external source.
On running the Best Practices Analyser. It shows 3 warnings.
- The threshold for the Allocated Memory alert is set to the default value. However the server has more than 2 GB of RAM installed.
- Microsoft Outlook Client not installed" Text="Microsoft Outlook Client is not installed in the ClientApps folder. You must run Windows SBS integrated setup.
- The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
I also ran the Ran netdiag.exe, dcdiag.exe commands
and no failures were reported.
The Event Viewer does not show any errors.
Not sure to what extent these warnings would affect the migration.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The SBS2003 needs to use one NIC only so you'll need to change that before starting. If it is the premium version and has ISA server installed, that will need to be removed first. See:

How to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard

how to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard(OEM system Builder Pack)?

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no upgrade path for OEM licensing. In addition, only SBS 2008 Standard can upgrade to SBS 2011 Standard, and there is no path to so
that from SBS 2011 Essentials. I am sorry to say that you may need a migration instead of an upgrade.
Best regards,

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Dashboard Problems

I'm having a problem on a Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Server. The Dashboard has stopped working correctly. The Dashboard loads fine but once it loads there is not data visible. Under the different tabs there are no User accounts listed,
Server Folders, Hard Drives, etc. When trying to add a new user we get the following error message:
"There was a problem adding the user account
Cannot create the user account. Please restart the Add a User Account Wizard, and then try again."
The next message is:
"There was a problem adding the user account.
The Add a User Account Wizard cannot communicate with the server storage system. If you continue to experience this problem, it may help to restart the server. If the problem persists, contact a computer support profssional, or visit the Microsoft Web site
at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=154454 and search for related information."
Any possible ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials - Restore Whole RD Website On IIS

I Have Very Little Knowledge In IIS/IIS 7.5
Recently, I tried to add Spiceworks into my Small Business Server Website as a Sub Directory such as http://websitename.com/spiceworks
this did not work, but while doing this I have messed up the SBS Remote Web Access Site. I tried to remove and add the IIS Server Role in Server Manager, this gave no luck what so ever, I then tried to delete the Mac, Certificate and Default Web Site from
IIS MMC Snap-in and re-add them, they did not work and I'm not sure where they are located. I do not have Exchange OWA or Sharepoint installed, I only have Spiceworks running on it's own web server under port 9877 and all the Microsoft SBS Software from the
install.
I cannot not access any website including the Client Connect, Main Website and the Spiceworks website at all.
I don't really want to Format and Install SBS again as it was difficult to get it installed and I have about 1TB of data what would have to be moved else where. Is there any way on how I can restore the whole website back to a fresh install state?
And sorry, Backup Drive has failed so no backups currently.
Thanks In Advance, If You need any more infomation or an email address, I am happy to help.

You have Exchange and Sharepoint installed on SBS Essentials?
If you have SBS Standard there is an easy repair.
Can you confirm which OS you have?
Robert Pearman SBS MVP | www.titlerequired.com | www.itauthority.co.uk
sorry for the late reply and No i do not have exchange or sharepoint installed and I have SBS Essentials 2011.

Outlook 2013 Constantly Prompting For Credentials - Exchange 2007 - Small Business Server 2008

Hello, I am having a problem using Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Exchange 2007 with Outlook 2013. The issue is that a credentials box appears in Outlook 2013 when using there exchange account whilst connected to the domain. The box will randomly
prompt for user credentials, once the user credentials are entered it will either pop back up again and if you enter the details in again it will continue to pop up for around 4 or 5 times before accepting the credentials. It will then pop back up within 15
minutes and do the same thing, if you click "Cancel" on the box it will also go away and remain connected to exchange however a popup in the bottom right will appear asking for a password even though you can send / receive from the mailbox.
I have looked into this issue for hours and hours and still can not find a resolution, I have tried re-installing Office 2013 and re-creating the Outlook Profile as-well as as the Windows 7 Profile. I have checked through all the SSL certificates in IIS
and everything appear to be correct.
Is this a common issue? Is there anything I can do to further diagnose or fix this issue without having to try to re-install both the server and machine?

Hi James_wilson,
Any update?
Just additional, would you please let me know whether have installed all updates for Outlook 2013? If hasn’t, please install and then monitor the result.
Please also check if you enable
Always prompt for logon credentials setting in Outlook 2013.
If you enable this setting, please uncheck and check if this issue still persists. Meanwhile, please remove the old credential in
Credential Manager, then add again. Then monitor the result
By the way, please run the Exchange BPA on the SBS 2008 server and check if can find some issue.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

OSX 10.9 compatibility with Windows Small Business Server 2011?

Hi
I'm hoping someone here may be able to help me as our external server guys have been particularly unhelpful!
I'm the only Mac on a Windows server, which has recently been upgraded (??) to Windows Small Business Server 2011. I've recenty upgraded the work iMac to 10.9, but ever since the server change, I'm having intermittent dificulties saving files. Often, I get and error saying the file cannot be saved as I don't have permission to access the folder - which then worryingly REMOVES the file I'm trying to overwrite WITHOUT WARNING.
If I'm using Photoshop save for web, I get errors when clicking 'Save' to say that it can't, but does save the file, plus a second with a gibberish file name.
Most worryingly though, is that now on two occasions caused the iMac to crash and shutdown immediately, which is not good at all. Once was moving a file to overwrite another in the Finder, the second (today) was saving from Illustrator.
I'd noticed weird things with our old 2003 server before the switch and when I was still on 10.6 - mainly that my iMac was slow when connected (Adobe apps etc opened in a flash when unconnected, but took minutes when plugged in), but now I'm on 10.9 and the new server installed, these saving issues have arisen. (I ended up wiping the Mac and completely reinstalling everything to cure that slowness issue - never did find out what it was!).
The server guys are adamant that this has nothing to do with the server, and is all linked to my iMac - personally I'm not so sure, but I'm asking here to see if anyone else has had issues? It seems like some kind of permission problem? Do I need any special network settings for it to play nicely with the Windows server? My internet, email all goes through it, and I use it to store my work, but I'm not linked to any other server software in any way.
If anyone may have any clues to help I'd be really grateful!
Many thanks!
Ben

Thanks for the response - this is why I'm asking though- I can't see anything on the iMac which would be causing this, and saving files to a folder on a server is a pretty basic fuction, and I can't risk the crashes. I don't see how the iMac connection would be causing this, or for the files to 'vanish' but if it is the iMac settings I'll need to find a fix. Every one else is okay, but I'm the only one using this software and filetypes. Surely the Windows software would have some kind of instructions for connecting Macs?
I was hoping someone may have experience and if any additional network settings might be needed. I will check with Apple support also to see if they have any info, but thought I may get a good response here.
What I meant by the "server guys" is that's it's an external company we pay to look after it - so I'd hoped they might have at least looked into it for me, but it's a brick wall "We don't support Macs" response... which is why I think it's unhelpful - even though they supplied the software knowing it needs to have multiplatform support...
It's really frustrating.
And I hope nobody does insist I use Windows... please... I'd have to leave....
EDIT - "We"?? - Do you work for them!?

How do i map a small business server's windows path to my imac

Trying to map a Small Business Server's shared drive on my business network to a new iMac on the same network. Ethernet hardwired into network. I can see other PC's but not the server. Trying to enter the server's name and shared drive but having no luck.

Did you use Finder to enter the name address?
Finder menu Go>Connect to Server>' then enter something like afp://127.0.0.1/sharename
For connecting to windows it will probably be smb://IPaddress/sharename

Warning: Palm OS Treos and Windows Small Business Server 2008

If you use a Treo smartphone with the Palm operating system, beware: it does not work with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008.
Palm acknowledges this failure and has no intention of fixing it.
There are at least two problems:
(1) You must turn off all email security on the Exchange mail server to sync with Treos.
(2) AutoSync locks up the Palm each time it occurs, and must be turned off.
Here's the transcript of my chat w/tech support. After this, I spent a few hours on the phone and got the same answers.
[12:35 AM] Gary says: Hello.
[12:35 AM] Handoff connection active (1/5140).
[12:35 AM] x says: Hi. Please see the question sent earlier.
[12:36 AM] Gary says: Could you please be more specific about the issue?
[12:37 AM] x says: Our Palms will not talk to Exchange Server 2007 unless all its security
features are turned off. This is a problem with Palm/VersaMail. When will it be corrected?
[12:38 AM] Gary says: Yes, that is true. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
[12:38 AM] Gary says: I am very sorry to inform you that currently we do not have any information on this.
[12:39 AM] x says: Apology accepted and appreciated. But when will this be fixed?
[12:40 AM] Gary says: Unfortunately we do not have any sort of update on this. I suggest you to post the
feedback in the Palm Website.
[12:41 AM] x says: Okay, next question: Every AutoSync locks up the Palm, so we have to turn
AutoSync off. Do you intend to rectify this problem?
[12:42 AM] Gary says: I understand your concern. Is it happening with all the Palm devices?
[12:42 AM] x says: Yes.
[12:43 AM] Gary says: Do you receive any error message before locking up the Treo?
[12:43 AM] x says: No.
[12:46 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this happening with all the devices to me it looks like the issue should be
diagnosed closely to find the root cause. Was this happening with the Exchange Sever 2003?
[12:46 AM] x says: No
[12:46 AM] Gary says: So, the AutoSync feature is Locking the device from the day you upgraded to the
Exchange Sever 2007.
[12:46 AM] Gary says: Am I correct?
[12:47 AM] x says: yes.
[12:48 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this is the issue related to the sync with the Exchange Server 2007 and the
AutoSync to find out the root cause I will escalate this issue to our escalation channel which is our Voice
Support Team.
[12:48 AM] Gary says:
I will provide you all the information and guide you in the correct direction to address this issue.
[12:48 AM] Gary says:
I suggest you to get in touch with the Voice Support and I am sure they will fix the issue.
[12:49 AM] Gary says:
I will provide you a Service Request, when contacting the Voice Support, provide this Service Request Id and you will get a free Technical Support.
[12:51 AM] Gary says: Please provide me your Last name, First name, complete address, phone number,Email address, date and place of purchase of device and serial number of the device to create a Service Request Number.
[12:51 AM] x says: Of course I provided all this when I logged in, but here it is again:....
[12:54 AM] Gary says: Thank you for providing all the information.I need 5 minutes to register the device and create a Service Request.
[12:55 AM] x says: Thanks for your help, and confirmation of the incomprehensible failure to support Exchange Server 2007. We're this close to dumping these things if this is the kind of tech support Palm intends to provide.
[1:00 AM] Gary says: Thanks for staying on hold: I am sorry for the delay. I can understand the inconvenience you are facing.
[1:01 AM] Gary says: Based on the information you provided, I created a service request for you in our database. The Service Request number is : 1-51558238041
[1:01 AM] x says: Will I get an email?
[1:01 AM] Gary says: Using this service request number, you need to contact our Voice Support department. Voice Support Department number is 877-426-3777. Voice support will be available from 5:00AM to 9:00PM (PST) on weekdays and from 8am - 5pm PST on weekends.Please note down the above given Service Request Number and Voice Support Number or else you will lose this information once the chat session is closed.
[1:02 AM] Gary says: Yes, I will email this chat session to you.
[1:02 AM] Gary says: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

The problem is the default security profile isn't compatible. You can go into the Power shell command line and remove the default activesync mailbox policy.

Hi Arun,
Its really great that you want to move and upgrade old Exchange to new Exchange server. The manual steps and guide is already recommended to you.
Moreover, I would like to recommend you to use an automated tool to upgrade your Exchange server 2007 to exchange 2013. I have tried and test tool to do Exchange Migration 2007 to 2013. You can follow the link
http://www.exchange2007to2013migration.exchangemigrationtool.com/. It will also help you to do Intra-Cross forest migration if you required.
Hopefully my recommendation will surely help you.
Thanks,
Walter

Windows Small Business Server 2008 shutdown 180days 38 4

Hello to everyone,
I'm trying to solve a problem in a friend server.
i'm working on a Small Business Server 2008, it's a DC, NO sharepoint, NO Exchange (there is another software), NO DHCP (firewall do it), WINS and DNS enabled.
Some days agoo Server has shutdown and in event viewer i found this 2 errors:
38 and 4
Event ID 38:
"The Additional Server Count Check detected a condition in your environment that is out of compliance with the licensing policy. This server will be automatically shut down if the issue is not corrected in 68 day(s) 19 hour(s) 30 minute(s). Please look
for additional events for Additional Server Count Check to troubleshoot."
Event ID 4:
"The Additional Server Count Check in the Licensing component did not pass because error 0x8007200a occurred in function f1031 [PFVK].
The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist.
I tried slmgr.vbs -dli and it's Licensed correctly.
So i ran dcdiag /q and i've seen many errors like this:
EventID: 0x0000168F
Deleting dynamic of the DNS record '_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.dominio.local. 600 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.dominio.local. 'failed on the following DNS server.
I ran dcdiag /fix but problem still remains.
I really don't know how to fix this issue...
Anyone have an idea?
I also thought to use, in the extreme case, -ream , like slmgr.vbs -rearm, but i don't know how many times i can rearm server.
Thank you and have a nice day

How can I connect 10.4 Mac to Windows Small Business Server 2003?

I have seen some other discussions touching on this topic and have tried the various solutions but am getting nowhere. I can't connect my iBook, which is running Tiger, to our office's server, a Windows Small Business Server 2003. I am the only Mac user and as a Mac devotee actually spent my own hard cash for the iBook. (I work for a non-profit with low funds.) Previously, when our office had a different server and I had Panther, I could access the server. Then it was purely an academic exercise, since I had no need to access the shared files. Now I have a project that requires this, and I am stumped. Our part-time IT consultant is also stumped. We have tried a lot of the suggestions from other posts, to no avail. I suggested to the IT guy that there could be a problem regarding the encryption of my password, and I think he tried that. We have tried various versions of the domain name. The server comes up in the list when I follow the "go--connect to server--browse" path, but we come up empty. We've gotten error message -36, a message that we are trying to connect an alias to something that can't be found, and a message that we don't have enough information to go any further (something like that). I am writing from my eMac at home, so I can't reconstruct the situation right now. I have found in my extensive internet search that Thursby has something called ADmitMac that is pretty expensive software ($119 for one person) that I could install on the iBook and could help me access the Windows Small Business Server 2003 without doing anything else to the server. Does anyone know if that would that work? Any suggestions would be so appreciated!

I have specific errors listed below:

("Error 942: The connection could not be established because the authentication method used by your connection profile is not permitted for use by an access policy configured on the RAS/VPN server."), and cannot use an L2TP VPN connection because it requires
a certificate "Error 766: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSEC require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.". I attempted to utilize the SBS Connection Tool downloaded
from RWW, but it fails with a proxy error ("Unable to execute custom script (Configure proxy settings for IE). Required file could be missing." - likely due to the PPTP tunnel it tries to use). I went so far as to install the Enterprise CA on the server, installed
the Hotfix
(KB922706) so that the website could be accessed from Vista and above, and installed the requested certificate. The VPN fails to connect after
it times out and fails to negotiate a connection. This last one is "Error 789: L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer
encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer."
I have screenshots to share if anyone cares to see. I really just get the feeling that Microsoft is trying to kill SBS 2003 by ingoring it into oblivion.
The VPN works fine with Windows 7 clients by the way.
