Download Windows Server 2012 (not R2) evaluation copy

Hi,
If I try to download the windows server 2012 (not R2) evaluation copy from http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/evalcenter/hh670538.aspx, I always get a Windows 8 ISO (9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_DE-DE-HRM_SSS_X64FREE_DE-DE_DV5.ISO)
Thats not that what I'm looking for. :-(
I need to do some compatibility checking for server 2012, therefore I need the ISO image to install on a server.

Hi Micha,
I checked the download link and the ISO file name. It should be OK. As Tim mentioned, would you please
let us confirm whether you had installed via this ISO file? After installation, did you find it was a Windows 8, not Windows Server 2012? Just a confirmation. Thanks for your understanding.
In addition, if
you use the link (English version) as Farhad suggested, will encounter the same issue?
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Activate windows server 2012 R2 after evaluation expired

I installed windows server 2012 R2 evaluation version on 4 servers. The evaluation expired and the servers are shutting down automatically now. When I try to put the license key, it is not accepting it. I could activate some other servers with same license
key; but before the evaluation time expired. I used the same media to install these serves as well. Kindly let me know if there is a way or workaround to make these servers licensed.
Regards.

Hi,
Did the problematic Windows Server 2012 R2 connect to Internet when attempt to activate the server? Please also
refer to Converting evaluation versions of Windows Server 2012 to full retail versions section in following article and check if can help you.

Windows Server 2012
à
When I try to put the license key, it is not accepting it.
By the way, did you get any error message when can’t activate the problematic server?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache

Windows Server 2008 R2 Std Evaluation Copy showing 'License Expiry' message in just 2 weeks after installation

I have downloaded an 'Evaluation' version of Win Server 2008 R2 Std.
just 2 weeks back. This is a 180
days evaluation copy. This has been installed on the Virtual box.
Now after just 2 weeks, it is showing the message - 'Windows License is expired'. It is getting automatically
shutting down (that
too an abrupt shutdown) after every hour or so without asking to save any work that is already in progress. As this is an 180 days' copy it should run at least for 180 days. Can anyone help me out to get this fixed? Thanks in advance.

Upgrade from ADFS 2.1 to ADFS 3.0 and stay on Windows Server 2012 (not R2)

Hello,
could you tell me if this is possible? We need to stay on the same OS 2012 (not R2)?
Are the 2 versions compatible, i.e if we upgrade the secondary to ADFS 3.0 will the primary on ADFS 2.1 still sync to it, and will the farm respond on either host?
Thanks,
Tim

The upgrade procedure is described here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2014/03/31/how-to-build-your-adfs-lab-part4-upgrading-to-server-2012-r2.aspx

Windows Server 2012 not booting as a Hyper V guest

Hi all,
As always the best laid plans go to crap and so I need help from the best in the business, aka - all of you.
I am installing Windows 2012 Server Standard as a VM in Hyper V. I initially created it as a Vm in Server 2008 however for some reason the vm would not boot at a certain point . I installed the operating system fine from an ISO from the VLSC - rebooted fine
etc. As soon as I started to create roles (just IIS with .net 3.5 roles etc) - no directory services, its purely operating as a web and sql server... - at some point it wont boot. I start the VM, connect to it - get the windows 2012 splash screen however it
won't boot to the login screen. I can see CPU action for a period of time then NOTHING! - blank screen - no connection - no rdp.
I thought it was because of incompatibility between 2012 guest and 2008 host. So I upgraded the host to 2012 Hyper V Server Core (you know, the free one). That in itself was fine, all worked perfectly - all my 2008 Vm's are fine and operate well. I reinstalled
2012 Standard... Once again rebooted fine, however as soon as I added any roles or services (IIS) it just wont boot past the splash screen. I have installed VM guest drivers etc prior to installing roles and services - Nothing! Same behaviour, boots - see
splash - see CPU activity in Hyper V Manager, then nothing.
I can only think it's a driver issue perhaps or something wrong with the iso - however it does not explain why it boots fine then suddenly stops. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I can try? I managed to install all updates etc before this happened.
I really dont want to keep re installing. I havent activated yet as I wanted to make sure it worked before I did if that is a factor?

Hi sounds very unusual, the only thing I can think of initially are the integration services installed, and is the network working correctly. if you have a Server physical or virtual on a domain, with network connectivity issues is can take an age to boot.
Try disabling the network adapter from the hardware settings and see if the Virtual server boots. if so, then you need to look at network side.
Also does you system have enough resource, IE, Ram, and CPU.

How to activate Windows Server 2012 Datacenter evaluation version with product key provided on MSDN's student account

Hi,
I downloaded
Windows Server 2012 Evaluation Version recently. Actually, I wanted to check whether i could run Windows Phone 8 emulator on Win server 2012 using my core2duo (Non-SLAT PC). Now i wanted to activate the evaluated version by using product key of my
MSDN's student account. But its giving error when i enter my product key. I checked this article about converting evaluation version to full retail version. The article
says :
"If the server is a domain controller, you cannot convert it to a retail version. In this case, install an additional
domain controller on a server that runs a retail version and remove AD DS from the domain controller that runs on the evaluation version."
So kindly guide as to how I can install this additional domain controller and how to remove AD DS from domain controller. Currently, I have Dual Boot PC( win 8.1 and win server 2012).
Hoping to get a brief response....

Unless you have configured a whole lot of things into the DC running on the evaluation copy (should never install production on an evaluation copy), it would be simplest to start from scratch and reinstall.
Or, you simply go into Server Manager > Manage > Add Roles and Features to remove the AD role. Then you will be back to a workgroup server.
The evaluation version is good for 180 days plus three re-arms of 30 days each. So you can do a lot of experimenting with the evaluation copy without the need for using an MSDN key.

Is office 2010 officially supported on windows server 2012 R2

hello,
can someone tell me if office 2010 is officially supported on windows server 2012 R2 RDS?
This link only talks about Windows server 2012 not R2.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anthony,
I successfully installed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 on Windows Server 2012 R2 before in my testing environment.
So yes, Office 2010 is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.

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.

Windows Server 2012 R2 eval refuses to install

I have downloaded Windows Server 2012 R2 evaluation ISO twice. I have tried installing it in VMWare Workstation 10, in VirtualBox 4.3.12 as well as on a Core2Duo E4200 test box w 4GB RAM. All 3 of these methods fail to install. They all result with the same
error:
There are no MD5Sums posted on the Eval page but both download attempts generate the same checksums:
File: 9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV9.ISO
CRC-32: 3221785b
MD4: 2abe3e1c6dfdcd8f6bdaa779baf011e3
MD5: b391a267949518ed6bb69f908f252076
SHA-1: 5e2ddcaecc91e80a8ce3ec7ae7838f8a3967ed7f
I am stumped. Can anyone at MS or those who were able to install this ISO properly can you verify these checksums? I have tried installing it on the Core2Duo box via USB key and DVD with same result.

That page is a link to the Datacenter version of Server 2012 R2 and the one I am attempting to install numerous times is the non data center version. Anyways I selected Datacenter ISO version, registered and then proceeded to the next page where I seen the
following error:
The webpage at http://care.dlservice.microsoft.com/dl/download/6/2/A/62A76ABB-9990-4EFC-A4FE-C7D698DAEB96/9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV9.I might
be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Can anyone who has successfully installed Server 2012 R2 (non DataCenter) version from ISO on to a temp system generate
a check sum of the ISO file?
I am going around in a circle here after attempting to install it on 2 systems as a standalone install and on two additional
systems in VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation on one system and VirtualBox on a second system all of which resulted in the all too familiar error.

Trying to download windows server onto my computer.

I was able to burn an ISO for Windows Server 2012, but every time I try to download it says either my pc has encountered a problem and need to shut down or it issues a compatibility report. I follow the directions for report and then my computer reboots.
Could my computer not be able to handle it?

Hi,
Do you mean that you cannot download Windows Server 2012 ISO file on your computer? If so, please try the link below to see if the ISO file could be downloaded correctly:
