Having trouble switching from Core to GUI with Server 2012...
Hello,
I am currently in the early stages of studying for the MCSA - Windows Server 2012 R2 and I'm playing around with an Eval copy of Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter. I have two separate installs where one is the Full - GUI install and the other is Server
Core. I've learned in my studies that it is possible to switch back and forth between Core and GUI through Powershell cmdlets.
Right now I'm trying to switch from Server Core to GUI and I'm using the following Powershell command:
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra, Server-Gui-Shell
It starts off like it's going to work but then after about 68% of the way through, I get this:
Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed.
The source files could not be downloaded.
Use the "source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more
information on specifying a source location, see XXXXXX. Error: 0x800f0906
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra, Server-Gui-Shell

eatureCommand
Any ideas? I installed this Server Core image on a Hyper-V Virtual Machine (using Generation 2), allocating 4GB RAM and 65GB HDD space. I haven't done anything with .Net Framework and I haven't configured the network at all.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi SLONER,
You need use the -source option on a non-Internet connected machine.
PLease try the script below:
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart –Source c:\mountdir\windows\winsxs
And follow this thread:
PowerShell to Add GUI to Server Core (ServerCore-FullServer)
I hope this helps.

Having trouble switching from Photobucket to a forum and back again without losing my post.
I am so frustrated and I hope someone can help.
I need help adding pictures from Photobucket to a forum. I write a story on a forum and store my photos in Photobucket. On my old computer I was able to keep my photobucket page open in a small window and my post from the forum open in another small window. Then I was able to go back and forth between the two. I would write some of my story, go into PB and copy a picture, go back to my post, add the picture, write some more and do it again about 20 more times.
Now on my Mac:
I tried to hit the green minus to keep my photobucket page up but when I tried to go to my forum page I only got Safari and then it closed my photobucket page.
So then I tried ot use the scroll between pages to go back and forth between my post and photobucket. I got my story started, went into PB, copied a picture and pasted it onto my story then I scrolled back to PB to get a new picture...but when I scrioled back my entire post was gone. It didn't save anything that I typed or added. This will not work for me. There has to be an easier way...heck just a way to do it would make me happy.
So please if anyone knows how to do this, I would really appreciate the help.Hi SLONER,

Trouble switching from Mac to windows in boot camp
Ever since my imac updated early last week I am having trouble switching from the mac side back to windows. Switching fromt windows to mac is fine. I do most of my work on the mac side graphics design but for my job some of the software we use only runs on windows and this is the side i have to use to clock in and out and do someother work on.
I am using the option button as I have for the past 3 months and it worked just fine but since this update i am having to try 4-5 times before I am successful. I can do it by shutting down the computer, pushing the option button then turning back on and that seems to work, well it did Friday at least, today its not working again, i am having to try 4-5 times yet again by shutting down the computer then turning back on and i really dont like doing that 4-5 times in a row just to switch back to windows to do one quick thing then switch back.
any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!To see if it resolves the problem, from Mac OS try setting your chosen boot disk in Preferences -> Startup Disk. You can do the same to go back to Mac OS from Windows in the Startup Disk control panel.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?
Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

Greetings. Do you know if an unlocked Iphone 5S can switch from CDMA to GSM with a sim card, or if you have to choose one capacity or the other when you buy the phone? Many thanks.
Is this a Verizon or Sprint iPhone 5S?

I am having trouble printing from my computer. The printer keeps giving me an error message.
I have an hp officejet 6500A printer, i am having trouble printing from my computer which is an hp windows 7 64-bit to my computer. I keep recieving an error message on the printer stating that the paper size or type does not match. What do I need to do to get my computer to print to my printer?
Hi - A couple of things to try. First, in whatever app you're in, go into File, Print and Printer Properties and set the paper size appropriately. After that, go into Page Setup in whatever app you're in and set the appropriate size in there as well. In many cases, this problem is caused by different sizes being set within the printer driver and the app. If that doesn't work, go back into Printer Properties and try choosing a different paper type (Plain Paper). I've also had that resolve the problem before.
Hope that helps.

I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD 2. Most of the time it looks like its searching or I get a red exclamation point.
I was only able to send 2 texts. Help!iPads cant send regular texts - only through iMessage meaning that the other device will need to have iMessage too.
If you can't send a text that means the other person does not have iMessage and iMessage is only installed on iOS devices or OSX Lion -

Howdy MacRocker,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start with troubleshooting an issue like this where you're unable to load certain websites in Safari, I suggest that you clear out your browser history and website data.
Safari 8 (Yosemite): Clear your browsing history

Hi! I have an x-mini headset which im having trouble pairing to my iPhone 5s with bluetooth, any tips please?
Cellular calling doesn't yet work reliably.
Make sure you've followed the instructions in this support article. Note that both iCloud and FaceTime on the Mac must be signed in to the same Apple ID; those are two separate steps. Also note that the Mac and the phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Ethernet won't work. Trying to pair the phone to the Mac as a Bluetooth device won't work either.
If cellular calling still doesn't work, sign out of FaceTime and sign back in. You may have to do the same on the phone. The email address that you use as your Apple ID must be able to receive FaceTime calls. -

How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?
I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?Hi,
You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times. If you want I will look for it and post a link.
-TP
I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work. And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.
When I type in my URL of: https://connect.mydomain.org/RDWeb, I get redirected to:

Building a Hyper-V Cluster with Server 2012 R2
I'm building a 3 node Hyper-V cluster with Server 2012 R2. I create the cluster but the report is telling me I should configure a disk witness as a best practice. Do I need that with a 3 node cluster. In 2008 R2, 3 nodes give me node majority
and I'm good to go.
Thanks
SMaximus7True, but Windows Server 2012 introduced a dynamic quorum capability. When you have an odd number of nodes in the cluster, you really don't need to have a witness to ensure availabilty. But with the witness what happens is that if you lose a
node a witness comes in, so there are three quorum votes - one for each surviving node and the witness. Then, if another node fails, the cluster will continue to be operational because now you have the witness and the surviving node to maintain quorum.
Not absolutely needed, but a real nice to have. And, since it just takes such a small disk for a disk witness, or a file share for a file share witness, there is no really reason not to include it.

How do I do a Windows 7 restore as a Hyper-V clent with Server 2012 Essentials R2?
How do I do a Windows 7 restore as a Hyper-V client with Server 2012 Essentials R2? There is no client restore CD available as an ISO to mount as the CD.
ScottHi,
As we know, to simplify the bare metal restore scenario, we implemented the Client Restore Service in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, which will enable WDS on the Windows Server Essentials
server and configure the client restore image as a boot image. With the Client Restore Service turned on, the administrator can initiate a PXE boot on a client computer by using a network interface to launch the Client Restore Wizard and restore the client
computer. There’s no need to prepare a client restore DVD, or a client restore USB bootable key. For details about how to perform the client restore, please refer to the following article.
Set Up Client Restore on Server 2012 R2 Essentials
