Error Code (Windows 2012 server DataCenter Edition) :0xC004F069

When I am trying to activate windows 2012 server datacenter edition, an error message is showing. "the software licensing reported that the product SKU is not found". what is SKU?
how to solve this problem?

SKU = Stock Keeping Unit (an industry term, meaning the reference number for a unique specific part number or product identity)

from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303695.aspx
Error Code: 0xC004F066
Error Message: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product SKU is not found.
Activation Type: MAK/KMS client
Possible Cause: Volume media has been used with a non-Volume key.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Match the product key to the OS edition.
- Contact the Product Activation Call Center for assistance.

This suggests that you are using an invalid combination of product key/installation media.
Check that you are using a "matched set", either Retail media with Retail key, or, Volume media with Volume key.

Teaming with Windows 2012 DC (Datacenter Edition) Hyper V Host servers

HI
We are preparing 2 Windows 2012 R2 DC edition servers, each of them has 4 NICs, planning to configure both HV host and guest clustering. One NIC will be used for host / HV management and Host cluster traffic, other 3 NICs will be configured in a
single team. These 3 NICs are connected to 2 differenet switches and our intention is to utilize the full bandwidhth. Teaming is configured as Switch Independent / Dynamic load balancing mode. Is this the right configuration? Also each of the VMs
will configured in different VLANs through VLAN IDs.
Thansk in advance

Hi,
Although we do not recommend this, you can enable domain controllers as a cluster node in Windows Server versions earlier than Windows Server 2012. However, starting with
Windows Server 2012, we no longer support this configuration. We do not support combining the AD DS role and the failover cluster feature in Windows Server 2012.
At same time we don’t recommend install other role with Hyper-V with on the same server.
Hope this helps.

Post-deployment configuration failed error in windows 2012 server

HI,
After complete install WSUS I am getting post-deployment configuration failed error
WSUS files are not installed in given path even folder also not created
kindly suggest to me

Just start from this bit
There are a few workarounds to this problem so that we can complete the WSUS role Installation and move on to bigger and better things with Config Man.
The easy way would be to launch the WSUS admin console. You will immediately get prompted for the post installation tasks. You just populate the fields and you are done.

Windows 2012 Server multinode failover cluster (6 nodes)

Dear All,
We are facing problem of Huge time takes for cluster validation test on IBM Blade Server with Storage. The details are given below.

Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

Hi Caleb CSG,
Thanks for your feedback.
I'll feedback a report to Microsoft, and I also recommend you can post this bug in Microsoft connect.

ATL COM server error (0x800706C6 The array bounds are invalid) in Windows 2012 server

Hi,
We have a ATL COM server application which was developed using Visual Studio 6.0. This was ported to Visual Studio 2003 later.
The application was running without any problems on Windows 2008 server. When we installed it on Windows 2012 server the services would not start at all. On contacting MS support we can to know that the code needs to be built using Visual Studio 2013. The
same was done wherein we ported the application to be built using Visual Studio 2013.
The application is still failing. On debugging I could trace it to CoResumeClassObjects() call. This call returns error "0x800706C6 The
array bounds are invalid.". The same works perfectly fine on windows 2008.
Does anyone know what has changed between 2008 server and 2012 R2 server with respect to COM implementation.

Hi Amit,
Please try call CoResumeClassObjects to register classes in ServiceMain function.

Windows 2012 Server Backup Problems - VSS Error

Our company uses Windows Server Backup to back up our Windows 2012 Server. We back up the host component and the two virtual machines on the server. Every time I install windows updates
on our server my backup jobs stop working and I get a VSS error. In order to get backup working again, I have to recreate my backup job. In order to do this I have to attach all the backup drives to the computer at the same time.
This has been an issue all the way back to when the server was first installed. At that time the person who installed Windows Server talked to Microsoft. Microsoft said the problem would be fixed in the first service pack which they ended
up never releasing. I have looked online, but haven’t found any information on these issues. Are there any fixes for these two problems?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
Can you first do a backup then install windows updates? Please provide more detailed message about the VSS error.

Mandy

Windows 2012 server back up failing with with error in snap-in

Hi folks,
A brand new installation of Windows 2012 Server fails to do a scheduled back up to a NAS drive. The one of back up worked to a shared folder on the network. The error it gives out is "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it."
The error occurs just before I finalize the set up of scheduled back up. I am happy to provide more information should there be a need for it. Any help out there?
Thanks in advance,
Chilfa

Hi,
Firstly, re-install the Windows Server Backup feature on the server. Then run chkdsk on the NAS drive to check if there is any error on the drive.

Install Remote Desktop Services Failed on Windows 2012 Server

I understand RDS is not recommended on DC due to security consideration. However since I want to play it at home, it is not much a concern. Such scenario works fine on Windows 2008 R2. But on Windows 2012, the RDS (session-based, have not
tried VDI, but expect same result) installation always fails and is incomplete on DC.
In \Administrative Tools\Terminal Services, I only have RD Licensing Diagnoser and RD licensing manager. The remote desktop service management service cannot be started (Error code: 0x88250001). Is there any extra configuration needed for RDS
working on Server 2012 DC or before the installation? Thanks.
Update: this issue has been solved in Windows 2012 R2 Server. According to
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
"Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker."
The guidelines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839/en-us) primarily apply to Windows 2012 Server.

Asinine. Simply Asinine. Microsoft took it out because of $GREED$.
RemoteDesktop has become so popular, they had to break it to make more money. Thats why they discontinued SmallBusinessServer.   If this practice is so tabooo... Why did MS go the opposite direction with SBS 2011 Premium Cal's? SBS2011
had DC, Exchange, RDS and Sharepoint,SQL, RemoteWebWorkplace, OWA all working in perfect harmony. It is an untrue statement then, that it was "allowed but not recommended"
Now you by Server2012 (core + two virtual) and its not enough for all this.
You need at least another $700 for another sever licence to have it all
and who knows if SQL will run on a DC, or Exchange, or R-DERP server. Another reacherous bridge to cross.
By far, the absloute worse release since Millennium. The product is not ready for production, we broke our rule of waiting until the first SP1 upgrade for this and Exchange 2013. Problems with USB drivers and networking running extreamly slow.
Our 2003 SBS server was at least three times as fast, and this server has SAS and SSD drives running. It can't get out of its own way, and IE10 is the most unstable piece of crap to come out of Redmond. Open wide and swallow - Mother Microsoft
knows whats best for you. YOU WILL EAT OUR SLOP AND LEARN TO LIKE IT.   Server2012 AKA "METRO-SERVER"
Now here I sit after 50 Hours back to back setting up a new R-DERP server 2012, AD, Have my RDP licences in my hand at $100 each, and WTH does Microsoft care if I install it on my DC. ITS MY DC. And the cost savings versus the "risk" was
previously MY decision.
Sure, I can install a couple of Virtual HyperV sessions but they are so tempremental to a power-outage in a small business its not worth it. I have to double up my server hard drive resources, buy a $800 battery backup unit and make sure to attach
the cable, and even then, if that Bi**H does not shut down properly, one bit goes awry in a VHD or VHDX file and you are screwed. Restore from lastnights backup and forget about todays work. Not to mention it will probably take a half day to try
to fix it, then recover it then tell the 30 users they lost a days worth of work.
HYPER-V is for test servers and has no place in a small (micro) business environment. 5-30 users.
Microsoft's solution, buy another server. Need Exchange? Buy another server or take the risky cheapskate route and spin up some VHD's. Might as well put a gun to your head and play russian roulette, at least you know you have a one in six
chance of failure. With MS, its a 100% failure for a dirty shutdown power loss, motherboard blows, memory goes corrupt in a few years, your conventional method of recovery is gone, and you have some upchucked VHD file to try to recover some of TODAYS
data from.
Screw server 2012 forever.
I will sell 2008 and SBS2011 Premium unitl it rots in hell like XP (of which there is NOTHING wrong with for the average, WORD, EXCEL, OUTLOOK and QUICKBOOKS that all SMB's use. Its MS $GREED$ Grab the world by the B**ls and squeeze with all
your might to squeeze every dime you can out of *SMB* because big business is going to run thier 2003 Exchange and 2008 servers into ground before they switch to this garbage.
YOU CANNOT INSTALL EXCHANGE 2013 on DC , OR on R-DERP server.
Go buy another server license and server or MOVE TO THE CLOUD and get fleeced every month.
I have 30 DC/R-DERP/Exchange and SBS2011 Premium servers all running for years in perfect harmony, locked down with security so the users can't even WIGGLE with something they are not supposed to work with. They get their apps, cannot install anything
and all these servers are running just fine behind the firewall and perfectly save. The track record of this combination is 100% stable and is up 24/7/365 with no problems. Do yourself a favor and throw this 2012 into the river, you don't need
any weights because it is LEAD and will sink to the bottom by itself.
Why, you ask? Official is "Its for your protection" The real reason? To sell you more $700 server licences.
Maybe for SMB, we start selling Linux NAS Servers, host the Exchange in the cloud and be hearded like cattle to the Microsoft slaughterhouse. One way or another, you are going to bleed.    A little each month to move to the cloud, or
a small fortune if you want to have it in house. Microsoft wants it to be more expensive to have in house. No more buying a server and running it for six years before you upgrade. They can't have in house servers competing with their cloud,
and small businesses are the low hanging fruit ripe for the pickin'.

Joining Windows 2012 Server to SBS 2011 Domain

Hi All,
I have been trying to get a new Windows 2012 Server to join a SBS 2011 domain. The error message I am getting is:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: xxxx. The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.
I have a bunch of other Windows 7/XP workstations that have joined successfully. I have also tried disabling TCP/IP v6 on the 2012 server and joining the domain with the netdom command. The SBS 2011 server is listed as the primary DNS server on the 2012
server.
What else can I try here?
Thanks,
DR.

I am having the same issue has the OP. I have my DNS settings pointing to the sbs server that hosts the domain and DNS. I am receiving the same error.

Synchronization fails on Windows 2012 Server

Hello, Running DPM 2012 R2, Protected computer Windows 2012 Standard
I'm backing up only folders (19 GB) on a Windows 2012 server which also have SCCM 2012 installed on it. The initial replica and recovery point creations are successful. Any
scheduled synchronization job scheduled after will fail. The job display "In progress" but there is 0 MB data transferred and will remain in that stage for days until I cancel the job. A reboot of the protected server
resolves the issue temporarily where I might get a couple days of successful synchronization\recovery points but then the job will freeze again. I have looked in the event logs and the logs in Monitoring on the DPM server and also on the protected computer
but have not found any error that points to the cause. Has anyone seen this issue? Will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction of troubleshooting this issue. Thank you.

Not seeing any errors that stands out. Here is the log from today's synchronization job that is hung.

Error code 500 internal server error

I got a computer from my brother. It has windows 7 starter on it. It has been running fine, but now it says that the Microsoft teredo tunneling adapter driver is not working. It also gives me an error code 500 internal server error, when I try to search
for album information on windows media player. I don't understand IT jargon so can someone help me with this in plain English.

Hi,
Could you please have a share with the event log information? Reference for
opening Event Viewer.
What information appears in event logs? (Event Viewer)
For the Microsoft teredo tunneling adapter driver, take a try to uninstall and then reinstall it in
Device Manager.
Error code 500 internal server error, if possible please have a share with a screenshot for this error message.
As it states, the error is based on the server side.

Installation of Exchange 2010 in Windows 2012 Server

Hi all,
We are planning to upgrade our current Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, Need some help on installation and Support of Exchange 2010 in Windows 2012 Server, as per the
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx Exchange 2010 with sp3 is supported in Windows 2012 but I am unable to find the installer of Ex 2010 with sp3
in web even in MSDN. There is only Ex 2010 with Sp1 available. I know that after installing ex2010 with sp1 version, I can install sp3 later but I found one link
http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000785.htm where it is mentioned that insllation can be done only after doing the registry settings.
So is any one who has installed Ex 2010 in Windows 2012 Server and faced this issue and any solution.
Thanks
Mukesh

You can easily install Exchange 2010 (SP3) on Windows Server 2012. If you are working with previous SP version’s you can easily upgrade after installing server. And registry settings
are used to fix an error which may occur during migration, so it is not mandatory to correct registry settings each time during migration.
You can find detailed information about installing Exchange 2010 (SP3) on Windows Server 2012 at this blog :http://oxfordsbsguy.com/2013/03/24/how-to-install-exchange-2010-sp3-on-windows-server-2012/
