Error While Creating Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT Virtual Machine

I am facing an error while creating a Virtual Machine on the Cloud. The Error is below:
Error (610)
Virtual Machine Manager was unable to find a value for the required Sysprep parameter ProductKey.
Recommended Action
Add the missing Sysprep parameter either to the answer file or to the operating system configuration, and then try the operation again.
My Template does not have the Product Key defined.  The OS is Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT.  Is defining Product Key absolutely necessary?  I have other Templates for other Operating Systems and they are working fine.  Only facing problem
with this.
Any help would be appreciated.

In the SCVMM world a 'template' is composed of the following: a VHD with an OS that has been generalized (sysprep), virtual hardware profile (settings), and an OS profile.
The OS profile is required to have a product key.  A MAC activation key at the minimum.  But the key is required.
If you deploy a VM from a VHD, the same customization assumptions are not at play.  Which is why it succeeds.  (there is no template in this case, there is also no requirement that the OS in the VHD be sysprep'd).
SCVMM has rules.  And lots of things don't make sense until you begin to understand them and play within them. (I am not saying that the SCVMM rules are a good thing, just saying they exist)

  • Toad for Oracle 10.1 on Windows Server 2008 SP2 64-bit

    Hello guys,
    I want to ask your opinion regarding an issue?
    I want to install the Toad for Oracle application on my machine
    (Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 64-bit)
    I have already installed Oracle DB 11g R2 64-bit for Windows.
    I have tried to install Toad for Oracle version 10.1.1.8 making no use of any Oracle Client,
    but it displays an error "Oracle Client not found!"
    Now, I have read this article Oracle Home is not Valid on TOAD
    and it says
    >
    TOAD required 32 bit Oracle client on 64 bit windows server systems
    all you need is install Oracle 32 bit client, the toad will work.

  • RH Server 9 compatibility with Windows Server 2008 SP2/SQL Server

    Our tech support people are preparing for a first install of RH Server 9. They have asked me to find out whether there is a recent patch that would enable it to work with Windows Server 2008 SP2 64 bit and MS SQL Server 2008.
    If there is not yet a patch, will there be one for this OS/DB combination in the future, and when?
    This is in reference to the knowledgebase article at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/884/cpsid_88483.html which gives a "not recommended" status to this combination.
    Our infrastructure team would prefer to use this combination if it is possible.
    Second question from the tech team: Do we need to separate the RoboHelp application from the database or can they both reside on the same server?

    To answer your first question, no there is no patch to allow SQL Server 2008 to run on a 64 bit server. To answer your second question, I don't know. This is a user to user forum and therefore we are not party to any discussions on when or if a patch will be released. You could sumbit a feature request which the Adobe RoboHelp Product Manager will get. This will help advance your case. You can submit it here:

  • Windows Server 2008 SP2 X86 Product Key Issue

    I am trying to create a VM using a Template, but facing an issue with respect to Product Key.  The VHD I am using is of
    Windows Server 2008 SP2 X86.  If I do not provide Product Key in the Template/Guest OS Profile, the Virtual Machine creation fails even before starting. Seeing this behavior, I added a dummy key to the Guest OS Profile/Template which allowed
    me to deploy the machine, but the VM gets stuck at Customization before failing. When I take the remote console of the VM, the Error I see at the Remote Console is:  
    Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass. The settings specified in the answer files cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [microsoft-windows-shell-setup]"
    So, I am confused now what to do.
    Is dummy key supported?
    Do I need to provide the actual key in the Template/Guest OS Profile?

    You should be able to evaluate this software for 180 days.

  • Windows server 2008 sp2 andoracle database 10g r2

    We have created a server with windows server 2008 sp2, installing various roles, active directory, domain, dhcp server, dns server, some others, and various functionalities, and all works fine.
    After all of this we are trying to install oracle database 10g, 'cause compatibiliy with an already existing db running at the moment under this database platform, using oracle universal installer, and when the launcer starts the procedure oracle database configuration assistant its windows come out and after just the 2% of the procedure it stops with ora-12560 error.
    Before this not any kind of error appear.
    the windows firewall security windows that appears, just 2, are unlocked by clicking the unlock button.
    All seems configured right.
    The listener service, oracleoradb10g_home1tnslistner, seems configured right, automatically configured from the setup procedure just before the oracle database configuration assistant, and is running.
    This is the only one service created and running, at this point of the installation, from oracle.
    the global database we are trying to create is named orcl, but in any place this name is found at the moment that the installation stops.
    I hope that someone can help with this 'cause are 5 days that we are blocked with the installation and can't install the server in its environment.
    We are desperates.

    At this link
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10203vista.html
    it says server and client for windows 2008 not just client.
    Not only.
    If I install this with no creation of the active directory and the domain, with all the rest, the installation work till the end without any error.
    And anyway the error i reported in the first post happen the same, exactly the same point of the installation, with the 11g version too.
    Waiting and hoping can be helped

  • Windows Server 2008 SP2 randomly reboots due to lsass.exe failed with status code 255

    Hello,
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.  I have an older Windows Server 2008 SP2 (I don't believe it is R2) (running SQL Server 2008 and SSRS 2008 on the machine) that is crashing randomly
    during business hours.  Looking into the event logs, I have found the following:

  • Hotfix Compatibility: KB2522807 - Windows Server 2008 SP2

    Can someone explain why this
    Hotfix is not compatible with Windows Server 2008 SP2 when it states this is one of the OS prerequisites? There only seems to be a download for Windows Vista, 7 and 2008 R2 but not 2008 Standard.
    I am seeing this exact issue on 2008 SP2 so would be nice to have the fix for it.
    Thanks.

    according to

  • Evenlog viewing causes CPU usage 100% on Windows server 2008 SP2

    We have Windows server 2008 SP2 with strange behaviour. When I scroll down events in eventlog viewer CPU usage hits 100% and eventlog viewer freeze. CPU usage is split between 2 processes SVCHOST.EXE (lmhosts, eventlog and Dhcp services) and MMC.EXE.
    1)I tried to replace eventlog files with new ones. That didn’t helped
    2)After server clean boot problem still exist.
    3)When CPU hits 100% usage process explorer shows that from SVCHOST.EXE process CPU is used by service EventLog.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi Santosh
    I re-installed VMware
    tools and also configured VMXNET 3 - nothing changed :(
    Sorry to hear that.
    Windows event log service has couple of dependencies i.e. task scheduler and windows event collector service. Can try restrating those services ?
    In addition to above, try following steps
    Change NTFS permission of  %WINDIR%\System32\WinEvt\Logs directory, add Local Service and
    Network Service, give them FULL permissions.
    Stop and Start event viewer service by running following command
    net stop eventlog && net start eventlog
    Issues like this might occur if the disk (FC or iSCSI SAN or even NAS) has some inconsistencies , this is true in case of both physical and virtual machines 
    You might want to try running chkdisk as well on the server in question

  • BO XI 3.1 SP3 Install issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit

    We are trying to install the lastest Build of Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 on a new server with Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit OS (51038908_part1.exe,51038908_part2.rar, 51038908_part3.rar).
    The setup never finish! It seems that the setup can't validate the CMS installation and is trying again and again.
    In the "Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 - Windows - Supported Platforms" document, the Windows Server 2008 R2 Entreprise 64-bit Edition is supported.
    The antivirus is desactivated and the setup.exe file was launched in the administrator mode.
    Any ideas?
    Edited by: Frederic Wojnarowski on Nov 22, 2010 5:45 PM

    We have run into similar issues with that same package (51038908_part1.exe) which is a complete install of "BOE-3.1 package with SP3" for Windows 2008 Server that only installs in the 64-bit mode.
    We had a 32-bit Oracle 10g client installed, that BOE did not recognize for the CMS - so the install was hanging at the CMS config...(no clear errors / no simple way to roll-back the failed install).
    We only discovered the underlying Oracle issue when we deployed just the CMS with a local MySQL database - and then tried to point the CMS at the Oracle DB instead. It gave us TNS errors even though we could hit the same TNS without issue using SQL-PLUS on the same machine.
    This lead us to assume that the 64-bit BOE couldn't connect via the 32-bit Oracle 10g drivers.
    We have had trouble installing the 64-bit Oracle 10g client that we downloaded - so are now looking for some advice.
    Anyone know which specific 64-bit Oracle 10g client should be used with the cumulative "BOE-3.1 package with SP3" 64-bit package (51038908_part1.exe)...?
    I assume that this Oracle client will be used for any connection to the CMS / AUDIT Oracle databases - and any RPT content running on the CR-JobServers that is using an Oracle Native connection...?
    Thanks in advance for the advice.

  • Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit

    Good night Oracle community,
    I'm having problems on using Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit that runs inside a virtual machine.
    The first problem was the error ORA-12152 (unable to send break message) when using a 32-bit server version when trying to connect via SQLPlus using domain administrator user. I did reboot, tnsping, checked parameters and oracle support articles but neither help me. So I uninstalled it and installed the 64-bit version and it wasn't possible to run the applications like netca.
    Now I installed it on a local profile version 32-bit to see if the problem was related to the domain.
    My question is simple: is this environment ok to run a production database server? 11.2.0.3 is that stable with Windows 2008?
    Thank you very much!

    Oracle Database 11.2.0.3.0 is certified on Microsoft Windows (32-bit) 2008.
    Error: ORA 12152
    Text: TNS:unable to send break message
