How to install Windows Server 2012 as a Virtual Machine on Window 7 64 bit machine

Hi All,
I need to install virtual Window Server 2012 on Window 7 machine(8gb ram,64 bit machine).
Please give me the list of required softwares to install. If possible the please give download link as well.
Thanks
mit

Since you're on Windows 7 I'd probably go for using VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/ to host the virtual machine.
Downloading 2012 depends what you're after really, if you've got TechNet / MSDN then you can download it from there, otherwise you'd need to have a licenced copy. You can download 180 day evaluation versions from the Microsoft website here :

How to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

how to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

Use guide below to convert it to 'basic' disk, or install windows on another drive. The supported way is to delete all partitions and convert it to a basic disk.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755238.aspx
However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.

How to install sql server 2012 using the license of sql 2014

Hello,
We want to install sql server 2012 on a server because of an application that can not work with sql server 2014.
We have a license for sql server 2014. The license is not visible for sql 2014 in our licenses because it is now included in the installation package. We also can not get a license key for SQL 2012 server now.
How can we get a valid sql server 2012 license key?
Thanks,
Gr. Peter.

Windows Server 2012 won't stream to a Windows 7 computer

I have a windows 7 computer and I built a windows server using windows server 2012. I am using it mainly to store and stream movies. I have the media pack installed that would allow me to stream but when I try to steam it from the server to my laptop it
does not stream it just wants to download it. I am clicking on the file under media, and it pops up with a new window like it is about to play with the play in the middle of the screen then goes away and asks if I want to download it. I cant find an answer
out and was wondering if anyone knew what was going on. I also have a windows 8 laptop and it will stream to that just fine so I know I have the streaming set up but just dont know why it wont stream to my windows 7 computer. Any ideas?

This one might help.

What I have done to try to troubleshoot this issue is:
Reinstalled DPM - No sucess
Restarted the Hyper-v Host - No sucess
I'm at the point where I am out of ideas and google hasn't given me much.
/Joseph

i have the same error.
"vssadmin list writers" shows last error unknown for all writers
disk space is sufficient
ntbackup of systemdrive and systemstate runs fine.
i installed KB940349 which fixes some vss related issues but the problem is still there.
any ideas?
Thanks.
When you have vssadmin reporting unknown error the only way to reset the vsswriters (as I understand it please correct me if I'm wrong :) ) is to restart the machine. The Fellenator is correct, make use that the vsswriter is working correctly since this
is the main function DPM is using when taking backup. He's also right in saying that it's outside the scope! Create a new thread on your error, then you will get much better responce!

Windows Server 2012 - Direct Access clients and the Windows 8 firewall

Hi,
We're running a simple proof-of-concept for Server 2012 Direct Access, we have a single DA server behind a firewall using NAT. We have a number of client devices setup for DA and running Windows 8.
Our issue is that we can only get the Windows 8 direct access clients to connect (when outside the corporate network) and work with the windows firewall disabled (public network profile).
With the windows firewall disabled everything works exactly as expected. When outside the corporate network the client detects the network state (public network profile), connects via DA and all internal resources can be accessed successfully...fantastic.
Is there some specific guidance on manually configuring the windows 8 firewall for Direct Access ? We've tried the obvious TCP:443 with edge traversal enabled but without success.
Much of the information we have found relates to UAG rather than Windows 2012 DA.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,
There isn’t any specific configuration on the firewall.
Just confirm that port 443 can be forwarded to DirectAccess server.
Of course, make sure you are using IPsec first.

Windows Server 2012 R2 OEM Virtual Machine Installs

My company purchased and OEM server license instead of an open license. Since the seal was broken already on the packaging we cannot return it. I have read several articles online and I wanted to ask Tech Net ensure I didn't miss something.
What I want to know is OEM Server OS in compliance when installed as VM's?
The license package says two 2 CPU/2 VM, does this mean I have two seats available for VM's?
According to OEM license, OEM VM's will live and die on the same machine, correct? Meaning, non-transferable.
Why I am asking these questions is because our hosting provider is telling us it must be purchased with a machine and cannot be used in that manner I want. Also, I really don't want to throw away money like that.

Windows Server licenses are assigned to the physical hardware. Windows Server licenses grant you specific rights. One of the rights bestowed with the purchase of a Windows Server Standard license is the right to run up to two virtual operating
system environments on which Windows Server is installed. If one of the VMs is moved to a different host system, that new host system must be licensed to run the number of virtual instances then running on the new host.
I'm still not sure how you purchased an OEM license without hardware. That is the way Microsoft sells those licenses. If you did not purchase this from a Microsoft authorized OEM, I would be very cautious as to whether or not you have a valid
distribution/license.
That said, an OEM Windows Server license is assigned to a specific server. This differs from other licenses, like Open or Volume or Retail which grant the right to move from one server to another once every 90 days. OEM licenses can't move from
one server to another. Additional contracts with Microsoft allow for some level of movement, but the OEM license itself does not grant that right.
Once the OEM license is assigned (this is a paper transaction, i.e. there is no 'installation' of the license) that machine then has the rights granted by that license. In the case of Windows Server Standard, the virtualization rights are for two concurrently
running Windows Server VMs as long as you are not running services on the host not related to management of the virtual environment.
When it comes to licensing, it is always best to talk with a trained Microsoft licensing specialist. Your OEM should be able to explain this to you, but if he is selling licenses without hardware, I might look a little askance at his business practices.
Remember that a license is a legal agreement between you and Microsoft. Depending upon technical forums for legal advice is not something your lawyers would recommend.
And, the fact that you have a hosting environment means that you might even be better served by a different licensing model. Microsoft has different licensing programs for different usage.

Hi,
Windows update error 0x80070020 can occur if a program is interfering with the automatic update process.
Restart your computer or restart your computer in safe mode with network, then try to install the updates. Detailed information you may reference the link below(this applies also to Windows Server 2012 ):
You receive error 0x80070020 when you use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site to install updates

[Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
Analysis
Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report:
Figure 1.
In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
Produces
You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
Figure 4.
2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
Method 1: Using Server Manager
1) Open Server Manager, click
Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
2) In Features,
uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)
Figure 5.
Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
“Import-Module ServerManager”
“Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
or
“Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)
Figure 7.

User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user
right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated
with this node might be removing the right.
I found following article:
"MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" error when you install WID in Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

Is there an application to monitor users who log into Windows Server 2012 R2?

I'm looking at Family Safety Feature in Windows 8 and like what they can do. I have a request to monitor, track users who log into Windows Server 2012 R2 to see how many users login, how long each login is for each user so a monthly report can be generated.
1. I just wonder if Windows Essential 2012 can be used for this purpose or not. If it can, is Windows Essential 2012 a feature can be added or installed on Windows Server 2012 R2?
2. If Window Essential 2012 cannot be used for this purpose, is there any feature in Windows Server 2012 R2 that can be used for this purpose?
3. Is there any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Hien Phan

Hi Hien,
Anything updates?
It seems that there is no feature can do that. I agree with Tim that you can check the event logs. In general, the event 4624 would be created when a user was logged on, and the event 4634 would be created when a user account was logged
off.

Join to Windows Server 2012 Active Directory.

How to I join Windows Server 2012 Active Diretory without putting manually Windows Server 2012:s ip adress at ?referred DNS server? Can someone help me?

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Are you asking how to join another server to a Active Directory domain without having to enter IP information into that other server? If so, the server joining has to have an IP address and it has to have
a DNS entry that knows about the Active Directory domain. Therefore, there are two ways to accomplish this. First is to assign a fixed IP address and DNS address to the server you are trying to join to the domain. The second is to have a
DHCP server in the environment that will assign the IP and DNS. Alternatively on the second option is to have DHCP assign the IP address and then you manually specify the DNS that knows about the Active Directory domain being joined.
No matter how you do it, it has to have a valid IP address and DNS entry that knows the location of the AD domain.
