Disappearing disk space Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise

I've got an interesting problem with a virtual machine in our VMWare environment. It is Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise installed. I started out with a 60GB disk and it started running out of space, so I increased
it in VMWare and extended the partition to 100GB. Well, that lasted for a bit and so I extended it again. I've done this 3 or 4 times and now I've got a 160GB disk with about 2-3GB of space remaining (and it started with 10GB remaining).
WinDirStat shows 105GB of <Unknown> space being used, which is probably my issue. However, I can't determine what this is and it keeps growing like a tapeworm. The context menu on the <Unknown> files has all the options disabled,
so WinDirStat doesn't appear to have access to whatever the file(s) is/are. I've performed several chkdsk /f on the C: drive and nothing bad is reported. I don't have any restore points and am not running VSS (that I'm aware of). The pagefile
reports as being about 4.9GB, so that's not the issue. No large files are shown anywhere and my explorer settings are set to show me all files, including system files.
When I try to run WinDirStat with elevated permissions, it hangs and becomes unresponsive.
I've even resorted to running CCleaner to see if it found anything, but it simply found the standard temp files and such...about 1GB.
I'm pulling my hair out...and I don't have much to start with. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Russ

It appears that somehow, Microsoft Fusion Assembly binding logging was turned on and many of the temp folders located at c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\InetCache\IE were filling up with hundreds of thousands of Fusion HTM log files.
This is controlled by an entry in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog which was set to 1. Hopefully, setting it back to zero will fix the issue. As a result of figuring this out, I have recovered almost 80GB of disk
space occupied by the log files.
I thought WinDirStat would show me what I needed to know, but it turns out TreeSize (which I've used in the past) works much better.

Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server

I've been trying fresh installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server several times for two weeks, but always get the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation". At first, I attempted
to install all features, but failed several times. So I decided to try install just Database Engine service, and still fail at the SqlBrowserConfigAction_Install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32, with the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
I remote login to server with my admin domain account. This account is in server local Administrators group. I
1. Right-click on setup.exe file | properties | Compatibility tab | select compatibility to Windows 8.Then click OK.
2. Right-click on setup.exe file | Run as Administrator, to start the Installation Center.
I have the document of my installation steps and zip file of the installation logs, if you need to take a look.
Appreciate for any help!
ntth

Hi ntth,
"Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
The above error is always related to the Windows account SID mapping. I recommend you login into Windows using another Windows account which has administrative privileges and run SQL Server setup using that Windows account.
Besides, please note that we need to apply SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 or a later update when installing SQL Server Windows Server 2012 R2. For more information, please review this
KB article.

Migrate FROM Server 2012 R2 Essentials TO Server 2012 R2 Standard

We have a new server with 2012 R2 Essentials. Failed to realize Essentials need for Domain Controller role and Deltek Vision Software running on new server does not run on Domain Controller. We are prepared to upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Standard,
and have read the "Transition.." article in the Tech Net Library, but it does not go into much detail. Need to know what else is involved and does the transition remove the FSMO requirement? Does the transition wipe out all
programs and SQL Server installations? I have found articles on migrating from standard to essentials, but not the other way around.

Hi,
When you talk about the "Transition" means Transition from Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 Standard?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj247582.aspx
If you talk about the migration, i think you could do the migration process.

hello again,
meanwhile I was lucky to find this article about Idenity Mapping in TechNet in the Storage Team Blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2012/10/09/nfs-identity-mapping-in-windows-server-2012.aspx
Likely to be overseen at the end of one paragraph it says:
"Client for NFS does not support NFS V4.1 in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012"
Question : Is this an official statement and is it still valid with most recent
Windows Server 2012 R2 that NFS client does NOT support NFSv4.x ??

Hi Chuck,
According to your description, in deed, there is only introduce that the default settings should be used for the Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating system in document. However, personally, there is also apply to the platform of windows server 2012
R2. I recommend you that submit the requirement at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/.
If the requirement mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add this feature in the future version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service provided.

Which Laptop is good for VS 2012/2013 and SQL SERVER 2008 R2 /2012 ?

Hi,
I am planing to buy a laptop.
I am gonna be using mostly for Visual sStudio 2013 and Sql Server 2012 .
my budget is $1000.
confuse between DELL/ HP / LENOVO..!!!
please help.

This is only a personal taste of mine:
I prefer to work in Virtual Machines. In fact I did set up a VM just for my programming. This has the advantage that games and other stuff are not slowed down by SQL Server Services and similiar stuff.
This also allows me to quickly make a small virtual networks with multiple clients if I need to test some client/server stuff.
Plus I am also a bit of an adminstrator and prefer to test stuff in VM's before I try them in the real world.
I prefer using Virtual Box for Virtual Machines, so one thing of big importance was support for VT-X/AMD-V. Without them Virtual Box cannot run x64 guests even on a x64 host system.
Otherwise I wanted Windows 8 (so I could finally learn to live with it/learn programming for it's UI). And of big importance was an upgrade of gaming ability (my old one had difficulty/impossibility to run most current games).
So I bought a x64, Win8 Gaming Laptop with 8 GiB RAM (so I can run 3-6 Windows 7 hosts in paralell) and looked that the CPU supported Hardware Virtualsiation.
Otherwise pretty much every current laptop will work. x64 OS might be prefereable, as .NET has some limitations under x32/x86 OS (like the
2 GiB limit). Multicore (2 or more) is pretty much the state of the art (are there still any single core CPU's out there?).
It of course needs to be a Windows (7 or 8) to support VS. New Laptops should have UEFI (all that are sold with Windows 8 have).
If you do not need a lot of storage, using a SSD instead of a HDD will propably speed up startups (Windows, Programms) and compilation times a lot (those are disk-heavy operations) - but I only know that it should and heard of people who have them.

Upgrading from SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2014 Standard Failover Cluster

Goal: To upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014 in a failover cluster.
Given:
1) Operating System Windows 2012 R2
2) 2 Virtual Machines in a cluster with SQL Server as a Guest Cluster resource. The two VMS are called APPS08 and APPS09. They are our development environment that is setup similar to our production environment.
Problem: When running the SQL Server 2014 upgrade, I started on the VM that was not running the instance. I then moved onto upgrading on the node that was running the instance. As soon as the install attempt to failover the running instance
an install error occurred that it could not failover. After many install attempts I consistently received the error
The SQL Server Failover cluster instance name 'Dev01'
already exists as a cluster resource. Opening Failover cluster manager there is no record of a DEV01.
New Strategy: Create a SQLCluster called DEV07. At the end of the Install I get 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exists. Neither I nor my Windows 2012 guy understand what Resource the install may be referring to.
We do not see anything out of the ordinary.
Any suggestions as to what Resource may be seeing the default instance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi PSCSQLDBA,
As your description, you want to upgrade the default instance in SQL Server cluster.
>> 'SQL Server failover cluster instance name 'Dev01' already exists as cluster resource'
This error could occur when there is a previously used instance name which may not be removed completely.
To work around the issue, please use one of the ways below.
1. At command prompt, type Cluster res. This command will list you all the resources including orphan resources. To delete the orphan resource, type Cluster res <resource name>/delete.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://gemanjyothisqlserver.blogspot.in/2012/12/sql-2008r22012-cluster-installation.html
2. Delete DNS entries, and force a replication of DNS to the other DNS servers.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://jon.netdork.net/2011/06/07/failed-cluster-install-and-name-already-exists/#solution
>> 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exist'
This error could occur when you already have MSSQLSERVER as a resource in the cluster, which may not be removed completely. To work around the issue, you could rebuild the SQL Server cluster node.

Push Data From Sql server 2012 (Express) to Sql Server 2012 (Standard) (i.e. Client to Server)

Hi all,
I’m new to this new idea /task/work.
My Idea: To push data to server (Sql Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Edition).
What I’m having? :
1.A server pc (Windows Server 2012 + Sql Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Edition installed).
2.Two or three Client pc in number (lets us say Windows Server 2012 + Sql Server 2012 with Express Edition installed).
3.These 3 machines (1 server + 2 client pc) are in communication with one and another(LAN).
4.Assume that, I'm having one database let us say “Company_DB” with single table “Tbl_Employee”(as of now) in server and similarly in both reaming client PC too.
i.e.
Server is having Company_DB (Database), is having table Tbl_Employee
Client A is having Company_DB (Database) , is having table
Tbl_Employee
Client B is having Company_DB (Database) , is having table
Tbl_Employee
What I did ?:
Step 1: Suppose that, today I entered/created 10 employee details in Client A (say 1 to 10).
Step 2: On the next day, I created some more employees (say 5 employees i.e 1 to 5)
in Client B.
What I need?
I need to push/send/store these records (i.e. total 15 employees details) should be present in my SERVER PC.
I googled for the same, found some suggestions like SSIS or
Import/Export wizard etc…
How can I achieve this?, and this should happen for some regular intervals like 3/5 hours without any duplicate data.

sounds like Merge replication to me

How to do Server 2012 R2 Network Policy Server MAC Authentication without adding ad users?

I have a Network Policy Server running on Server 2012 R2. I have set it up to do certificate and PEAP authentication for our 802.1x wireless authentication
and that works great.
Now I want to add a policy to this server so I can also do MAC address authentication our unauthenticated open wireless ssid so i can assign roles based on the
mac address. I got our Aruba controller setup to send the mac address to the radius server, but the radius server just denies access because I am not sure how to get it to use themsNPCallingStationID attribute.
I have found several ways do to this included adding active directory users for every single MAC address with the mac address as the username and password. I
do not want to do that. This is not an option.
I have also found several posts about using ieee802Device. I can't find a way to get that to work.
I also found a suggestion to use msNPCallingStationID ad attribute. I can easily set this for each user as their mac addresses but how do I configure the
NPS server to use this attribute to authenticate this?
If you have any other ideas on how to get MAC authentication to work, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you for your assistance!

Hi,
I think you may have some misunderstand about the MAC address Authorization, MAC address authorization is based on the MAC address of the network adapter installed in
the access client computer. Like ANI authorization, MAC address authorization uses the Calling-Station-ID attribute instead of user name and password or certificate-based credentials to identify the user during the connection attempt.
MAC address authorization is performed when the user does not type in any user name or password, and refuses to use any valid authentication method. In this case, Network
Policy Server (NPS) receives the Calling-Station-ID attribute, and no user name and password. To support MAC address authorization, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) must have user accounts that contain MAC addresses as user names, therefore you need
add the MAC address as the computer user name and password,
To use the MAC address as user name and password is Cisco® switch require condition, about your switch device please ask your hardware vendor.
If you want to combine the MAC address MAC filtering and
EAP Authentication, you can refer the following related article:

Running Server 2012 R2 Guest on Server 2012 Hyper-v

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone's been able to find any information on whether or not this is supported. We want to run some R2 virtual machines but aren't ready to upgrade hosts from 2012 to 2012 R2. I know that back in the 2008 R2 days, a hotfix was released
to support 2012 guests. I'm wondering if there are any plans for this or if one is even required.
I was able to install a R2 VM (I told wizard it was running 2012), but that's not quite the same as it being supported.
I'm also wondering if anyone's come across any good documentation or info upgrading SCVMM + Server 2012 with hyper-v cluster to the R2 versions. The info on TechNet seems pretty sparse at the moment.
Thanks

Hi,
The Server 2012 as the guest system in 2012 Hyper-v was supported with no additional hotfix.
For the Hyper-V cluster upgrade please attention the following hotfix:
Update that improves cluster resiliency in Windows Server 2012 is available

Updates and Hotfixes for DirectAccess 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

for some of you who use DirectAccess probably familiar with the following link
Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server 2012 DirectAccess
as far as I know and according to TechNet, DirectAccess hasn't change a bit from 2012 to 2012 R2 servers.
I use DirectAccess on Windows Server 2012 R2 and I'm surprised to see that there is no single update from that list the applicable with either Server 2012 R2.
if it's true - shouldn't there be a documentation that talks about the differences of the DirectAccess Client\Server from 2012\8 to 2012 R2 \ 8.1?
I'm asking because I want to make sure those updates are already include or not needed for 2012 R2\8.1 and not "forgotten" or something.
Tamir Levy

I was afraid that you'll said that
I hate to be the annoying guy but take a look at this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2787534
Applied to: Windows 8\2012,
Doesn't Apply to: Windows 8.1\2012 R2
and - for a fact, doesn't include in Windows 8.1\2012 R2 as this bug still exists in those operating systems.
another annoying fact - No other update was released for these version yet.
this example approves that not every hotfix \ updates that was released for 8\2012 before 8.1\2012 R2, is already included in 8.1\2012 R2
and allow me to add another fact.
when you configure DirectAccess via the remote access wizard it creates a WMI query called
DirectAccess - Laptop Only WMI Filter.
after you create it in Windows Server 2012 R2 - look at the WMI Query and you'll see that by default it doesn't apply to version 6.3! the version for Windows 8.1.
if you want to add the support for Windows 8.1 you have to modify manually the query which is of course, not supported by Microsoft.
That is just another symptom that makes me wonder if Microsoft did ANY change or update to DirectAccess 2012 R2

Hi Siriosus,
Indeed you do need Sharepoint Server 2013

Windows Server 2012 R2 with Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Completely fresh install giving errors signing into EAC

Hi,
I am struggling with a completely clean installation of Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 SP1. I followed these steps:
Installed Server OS
Windows Updates
Added Active Directory Role (This is a single standalone server that would have been SBS until it was dropped)
Added DHCP & DNS
Added Certificate Services
Added Windows Server Update Services (WID Database & WSUS Services)
Windows Updates
Added Media Foundation
Added File Server Resource Manager and Work Folders
Added Windows Server Backup
Windows Updates
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager and performed a full bare bones backup.
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installed Pre-requisites and then rebooted
Windows Updates
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installation completed without errors
Rebooted
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager.
I Launch Exchange Administrative Center and get "problem with website's server certificate error" (normal on machine with self-assigned certificates). Click Continue to Website and get:
Windows Security dialog box:
iexplore - "The server localhost is asking for your username and password. The server reports that it is from Digest"
however no username and password combination will work: have tried [Administrator]; [Domain\Administrator] even created a user to no avail.
I believe the issue is somewhere in the IIS configuration because I also get the same error when trying to log into the server website from either the server or another machine on the network.
I have tried the complete installation three times now: (full disclosure not all of the same features/roles each time). On the first attempt I got this error immediately and on try number 2 was able to get into the EAC and created the mailboxes
but then it started giving the same error. The above steps are try number 3.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Andy Halford
P.S. A Follow up which might be significant: The Default Web Site is not running and will not start (it was previously running before the Exchange installation) and when I try I get the message that Another Website may be using the same port however none
of the others (Exchange Back End or WSUS Administration) are using ports 80 or 443 and I still get the error when they are both stopped.

Could you post the list of sites:
appcmd list site
The ones listening on port 80:
appcmd list site /bindings:http/*:80:
And on port 443:
appcmd list site /bindings:https/*:443:

Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Server 2012 Standard

This is for a small business with all of 2 employees. I setup up the domain on the Server 2012 R2 Essentials. We have since found out that one of the applications was over loading the server so he went and bought a different server. Well that server has 2012 Server Standard. I added it to the domain but when I tried to make it a domain controller, I was getting a conflict error with the domain levels. So the question is, what is the best solution to resolve this? My first thought it to just create the domain on the Server 2012 and just blow the old domain. But maybe there is a better way to do it? any ideas?

This is for a small business with all of 2 employees. I setup up the domain on the Server 2012 R2 Essentials. We have since found out that one of the applications was over loading the server so he went and bought a different server. Well that server has 2012 Server Standard. I added it to the domain but when I tried to make it a domain controller, I was getting a conflict error with the domain levels. So the question is, what is the best solution to resolve this?
