Hi Ed,
Thanks a bunch for your quick response
I've been practicing different scenarios in a test environment. I'm using TechNet Subscription downloads which, to my knowledge, have Exchange 2010 with SP1 only available. That's what I'm using.
I got over this first error by 'Not checking the box for Automatically install Roles & features required for Exchange'.
Then it would not install the mailbox role. Found an article that referred to modifying the registry. The installation proceeded normally after modifying the registry as per the following article:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Exchange-2010-SP1-SP2-c939e791
Now, when I start EMC, it connects to the server and shows my server name; however, there are no options available under it. I still have it as 120 day trial version. Do I need to add the product key before I would have access? (I didn't think
so) I can't add key through EMC because no options available.
Can you please suggest a resolution to this problem?
Thank you so much for your support.
Best regards,
Parm :)

Exchange Server 2013 In Windows Server 2012 - unable to logon EXchange Administrator Center (EAC)

Hi All,
I Just installed Exchange Server 2013 in Windows Server 2012 and trying to connect Dynamics CRM 2013 (DNS).
The Installations Success full but unable to load the EAC page by using the following URL
https://servername:port/owa/auth/logon.aspx
I have cross checked in Exchange/owa/auth folder don't have the "logon.aspx" file
But the auth folder have the "logoff.aspx"
I installed many time freshly in separate WS-2012 but it not contains that logon.aspx
I want access the Exchange Administrator Center
Please Help me to solve it

Hi All,
I sorted out this problem
Actually we have to run these 2 commands in Domain Control, But what i did I just run this
1) setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Command in Domain Control we don't need to run the 2nd command, Because I already try to installed exchange 2013 very first time it success and after some modifications
it gone.
That time it will ask you to provide Organization name, Once you give that it will create the Organization name in Domain control and it will save the settings when
you install first time
Because of this reason It is failing to run these 2 command
Finally what i did I just revert back my Domain control snapshot & Exchange server as well
Then i started freshly Installation in DC and Exchange server 2013 successfully installed
URL http://servername/ecp/default.aspx
Whole Process will be here

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:

Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

Hi all,
I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox. I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
the DC server. Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
admin page, it gives error info:
System status: The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
a good state and try again.
Search Application Topology: Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
From event viewer, I see following errors:

Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
Thanks a lot.

Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$IndexLocation = "C:\Search" #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!
$SearchAppPoolName = "SSAPool"
$SearchAppPoolAccountName = "mydomain\admin"
$SearchServiceName = "SSA"
$SearchServiceProxyName = "SSA Proxy"
$DatabaseServer = "W12R2DC1"
$DatabaseName = "SSA"
$spAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $SearchAppPoolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$spAppPool)
$spAppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $SearchAppPoolName -Account $SearchAppPoolAccountName -Verbose
$ServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $SearchServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$ServiceApplication)
# process stays at the following step forever, already one hour now.
$ServiceApplication = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name $SearchServiceName -ApplicationPool $spAppPool.Name -DatabaseServer $DatabaseServer -DatabaseName $DatabaseName
Account mydomain\admin is an farm managed account, domain admin account, in WG_ADMIN role, It is in all SQL server roles and is DBO. I see search DBs are already on SQL server. From Event viewer, I got following errors in sequence:

WSUS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2 - Supported SQL Configurations

According to
this page the supported SQL configurations for WSUS on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 stop at SQL Server 2012 SP1, but there is no mention of SQL Server 2012 SP2 being supported.
However, both the SCCM 2012 R2
supported configuration page and this announcement state that SQL Server 2012 SP2 is fully supported on SCCM 2012 R2 with no
known limitations. Bearing in mind a big part of SCCM is to perform software updates which in turn requires WSUS to be installed...
... Is SQL Server 2012 SP2 supported on WSUS 4.0 (aka WSUS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2)?

The only thing that mattered for the versions mentioned on TechNet probably is the date the articles are published. I'm no Microsoft employee so I cannot guarantee you support even if I trace back some Microsoft article that explains the lifecycle of MS
products and support.
Fact is that MDT uses a database, SQL is a database server. SQL server has all kinds of compatibility modes to support databases dating multiple versions back.
Another fact is that a Service pack is an
update to the software (be it a large one) Microsoft will not break compatibility with their own products (and may others that relay on SQL server) by an update.
And a last fact is that in general, updates are required when you need support. After all, updates fix issues, and engineers generally don't like ghosthunting a bug that has already been patched.

How to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)

I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
single Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)
Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

please post you question on failover clusters in the cluster forum. THey will explain how this works and point you at scipts.
You should also look in the Gallery for cluster management scripts.

Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

You are trying to implement manually what should be happening automatically in the cluster. If the primary SQL Server becomes unavailable in the data center, it should fail over to the secondary SQL Server automatically. Is that not working?
You also might want to run this configuration by some SQL experts. I am not a SQL expert, but if you have both hosts in the data center in a cluster, there is no need for replication between those two nodes as they would be accessing
the database from some form of shared storage. Then it looks like you are trying to implement Always On to the DR site. I'm not sure you can mix both types of failover in a single configuration.
FYI, it would make more sense to establish a file share witness in your DR site instead of placing a third node in the data center for Node Majority quorum.

How do I run a non-server program on Windows Server 2008

I currently run a synchronization software application on my desktop in order to backup and synchronize over 600GB of data. I would like to install this on our server, which runs Windows Server 2008, but the software does not provide for installation
on this operating system. I continue to receive a message stating that the software may not run properly on Windows Server OS, but it does not allow me to bypass this message. Is there any way to create a partition or trick the software into thinking
that it is running on a different operating system or do I have to abandon Server 2008 and install a basic home operating system in order to run this software? Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to install an software which is not supported by Windows Server.
Try to install this software in other compatibility mode:
1. Right-click the installation program and select properties.
2. Select Compatibility tab, select the checkbox Run this program in compatibility mode for.
3. try to use different OS to install this program.
Besides, you may right-click the installation program and select Run as administrator.
Above are my personal suggestion and just for your reference. If the problem still exit, I suggest you to connect the software‘s support/form for better help.
If you want to backup date, I suggest you to use Windows Server Backup, you may reference the link below for detailed information:
