How do I install user client access licence on Windows Server 2012

I have recently setup a Windows Server 2012 Std. I have not configured any roles yet. The server licence has been installed and activated successfully. How do I get my Windows Server CAL 2012 ( tracking ID is 15 digits) onto the server. I have google
but did not get the correct result. The closest I found was
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc540509(v=ws.10).aspx.
I am not too familiar with the Server 2012 display so I am not certain if I am missing something. If the CALs are not captured on the server, will this restrict user access to the 2012 server?
I thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,
I’m glad to hear that you have found the thread as reference. As DonPick mentioned, since these are Windows Server CALs, there is no activation nor input of any kind needed. You bought the
CALs, you have the paper, you are now licensed, there is no configuration step necessary. If there is anything else I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will be very happy to help.
Best Regards,

  • How to allow more than two users on remote desktop on windows server 2012 foundation?

    i have a dell server power edge T300 with windows server 2012 foundation. I am unable to connect more than two remote desktop at once.

    Hi,
    Add to Brain, you cannot have more than 15 user accounts in Windows Server 2012 Foundation.
    In order to access a hosted application, such as Microsoft® Office, a license for Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services is required for each user account (not to exceed 15 user
    accounts) that directly or indirectly uses RD Gateway to host a graphical user interface, including using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client. When using Remote Desktop Services, you may not install or use Remote Desktop Connection Broker or Remote
    Desktop Virtualization Host role services. For more information about Remote Desktop CALs , see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140238.

  • How to initial DB2 user profile when telnet to windows server

    When I telnet to Windows server using db2<SID>, I issued command "db2", get error "DB21061E  Command line environment not initialized" . How to initialize user DB2 profile? Please advise.
    Thanks
    James

    Hi,
    you need to setup the command line environment to run commands. If you go through the start menu, you
    will see that there are two UDB "command line" type environments. One of them opens a "vanilla" command window with all of the initialization done to allow using db2 commands, the other opens the CLP environment.

  • How do Snow Leopard iCal Clients access a Leopard iCal Server?

    Could someone please explain how to set up Snow Leopard clients to a Leopard Server. And if it is possible. Thank You.

    Greetings, Jamil.
    Could someone please explain how to set up Snow Leopard clients to a Leopard Server.
    Sure. Pretty straight forward if you are the client (server setup is another matter and would not be addressed in this forum).
    Option #1 -- Assuming the clients are to have read /write access to the calendars:
    Go to the Help menu in iCal and type in "CalDAV". You will see this as a result: Setting up a CalDAV account in iCal
    You can read the article here as well which details how to add a CalDAV account to iCal: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/3.0/en/15563.html
    All you need are the CalDAV settings from your 10.6 Server running CalDAV (iCal server). You would get those from whomever setup/manages the 10.6 server.
    __Usually consists of a user name / account name and password.
    If they don't know how to find those settings they can visit the Mac OS X Server forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=96
    Option # 2 -- Assuming the clients have read only access (calendar subscription):
    Go to the Help menu in iCal and type in "Subscribe". You will see this as a result: Subscribing to calendars
    You can read the article here as well which details how to subscribe to a published calendar: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/4.0/en/9869.html
    Hope that helps.

  • Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2) - all client computers offline

    The server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2). I have had this problem ever since I first installed the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server in the summer of 2013 (before R2 was released). The Windows Server 2012 Essentials server shows offline
    for all Devices under Dashboard. (Allow me to add that I just installed another site with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, and it was a breeze - all of the computers at the second install site are online.) I have one Windows 8.1 Pro client and the rest
    are Windows 7 Pro clients. The problem occurs on ALL client computers.
    I have removed computers from Devices in Dashboard on the server, rebooted the server, changed the client computer to a workgroup, rebooted the client computer, and reinstalled the connector software on the client computer. Same result. I
    have tried this on a Windows 7 Pro client and a Windows 8.1 Pro client with the same results.
    After running the connector on a client computer and waiting for the server to update its Devices status, if I look under Devices on the server Dashboard, the Windows 8.1 client computer will say online but within 24 hours it goes offline again. The
    Windows 7 client computers never show online. Both computers stay offline - they NEVER show an online status (referring to the status under Devices in Dashboard).
    I should make it clear that the clients can access the server shares with no problem. File synchronization works great. The clients can ping the server and the server can ping the clients. But client backups on the server fail.
    One of the most troublesome things about this problem is that it prevents the client computers from being accessed remotely using the website setup by Anywhere Access. I can login to get remote access to the shared files on the server, but
    the only computer that says "online" is the server. All of the other computers are "offline".
    The server and clients are only using Windows firewall. The clients all use Microsoft Security Essentials for their anti-virus.
    I used a troubleshooting tool that tells me that there are problems with port 6602 on the server, but the clients are all fine with port 6602. I know port 6602 is important for using Anywhere Access but I am still trying to find out more details on that.
    I have checked all of the firewall settings related to port 6602 on the server, and the firewall settings look like the standard Windows settings for this port. I used netstat to find the PID associated with the port, and I looked up the PID to find the service.
    That all looked standard, too.
    I have been working on this problem since the summer of 2013!! Does anyone have ANY suggestions?!!
    HELP!

    Hi,
    Just addition, please check if all necessary Windows updates are installed on those
    “Offline” client computer.
    When connect client computers to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server by using the Connector software, there
    will be LAUNCHPAD on the client computer. Was this LAUNCHPAD grayed out? Please check if can access Shared Folders via this LAUNCHPAD. Meanwhile, please ping the Windows Server 2012 Essentials via IP address and server name when client computers show as
    Offline. Any find?
    Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials
    In addition, please follow the path on Server and client computer:
    %programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs. Did you check any relevant Server-side logs and
    Client-side Logs if find more clues?
    Windows
    Server Essentials 2012/2012 R2 Log Files
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.

  • SharePoint 2013 with sp1 install on windows server 2012 R2

    Hi All:
    excuse me I have a question about sharepoint installation. I install sharepoint 2013 with sp1 on windows server 2012 R2，but i always got "Configuring Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role"
    message. I refer to this article <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260>. I still got this message ... Which I did wrong step ?? I have been troubled for a long time, thanks to the help ...

    Hi  TiM,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you installed the prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 SP1 on Windows 2012 R2.
    Please make sure that you have installed .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2, and enable .NET Framework 3.5 by using the Add Roles and Features Wizard.
    Here is a blog you can refer to:

  • How to port forward in windows server 2012 ? for IIS

    Hi,
    I have windows server 2012 in AWS cloud (Public IP)
    Installed IIS 8 and running website in the port 8980 and its working fine (Public IP)
    My question is
    I have CNAME record in Godaddy in the name of example.com which is pointed to my PUBLIC IP ... its working fine. 
    But I want to know how to port the 80 request to 8980 in windows server 2012 thanks.
    Wes

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want that example.com(in Godaddy) to transfer corresponding queries(port and website name) to the website on WS 2012(in AWS cloud).
    Since your domain example.com is supported by Godaddy, I recommend you to contact the supporter of Godaddyand confirm that if their product supports port forwarding.
    In general, if you useWindows ServerInstruction, we may enable NAT(Routing and Remote Service) on network interface to redirect services/ports.

  • Installing Windows Server 2012 RC Remote Desktop (ISSUE)

    Installing the RD Host Service doesn't work and I get several errors. Any Hints?

    You cannot be serious. I approached your Microsoft "Gold certified" software partner 'Cancom Germany' with the following requirement:
    - Need a Windows 2012 "Terminal Server"
    - for 15 client devices
    - currently no AD or other Windows servers installed
    What do I get sold:
    - Windows Server 2012
    - 15 Device CALs
    - 15 RDS device CALs
    and the information that I need to setup AD and the RDS roles. So far so good.But I run into these error messages when setting up the RDS roles.
    Now you are telling me that I need another server running just for the AD? Which I do not need for anything except for the internal requirement of the RDS services?
    Please elaborate a bit more on the way to get it work on the same machine or suggest another solution (btw buying another license for the AD server is not a solution).
    Totally agree with you. buying extra server just for AD or broker frustrated me. but I found a patch here

  • Error while uninstalling and then re installing sharepoint 2013 on same server(windows server 2012)

    Hi All,
    I have installed SharePoint 2013 prerequisites successfully on windows server 2012. While installing SharePoint 2013, system struck on for several minutes. I have restart my system manually. Later I then installed prerequisites which showed a successful
    lessage. But When I try to install SharePoint 2013. I am getting the following error:
    trial editions and lincensed editions of SharePoint, Project Server, and Office Web apps products may not be installed on the same server.
    I am unable to find solution for this issue. what is the solution for this?
    Thanks in Advance..
    Prem Kumar

    To be honest, the quickest thing you could do (and what I would do regardless) is re-build the server (re-install Windows).

  • Installing Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Now that SP1 has been released, it is supported to run Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2
    But since it is not yet possible to download Exchange 2013 with integrated SP1 (slipstreamed), is the following installation procedure supported:
    - Install Exchange 2013 (without SP1) on Windows Server 2012 R2
    - Install SP1 on top of Exchange 2013
    If this is not supported, can someone tell me when the Exchange 2013 with integrated SP1 (slipstreamed) download will be released?

    yes the SP1 is the full product. if you need step by step instruction to migrate to this new version you can get info here : http://buenoflex.com/install-exchange-2013-sp1/

  • Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Install on Windows Server 2012 R2

    I am trying to install Exchange 2013 SP1 onto a Windows Server 2012 R2. I get an error message that the operating system is not supported. I have installed all the prerequisite.

    Does that mean that you can't install Exchange 2013 Sp1 with a Remote Desktop Role together included with Server 2012 R2?
    Or is it possible to restore the Remote Desktop Role afterwards?
    You can't install any build of Exchange 2013 on any server that has the RDS Role installed. So in other words, this is not a "limitation" with Exchange 2013 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
