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.

However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.

  • Windows Server 2012 reboots while removing the Hyper-V vSwitch.

    I have a WIn2k12 server with Hyper-V running. While removing the vSwitch configured in Hyper-V, the server got rebooted. In the event logs below mentioned error was notices.
    he computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x00000019 (0x0000000000000024, 0x00000000000000f2, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffffa800b9ba6c0). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 072314-20248-01.
    The Windows has generated a MEMORY.dump which is ~570MB in size. Is it possible to analyze the MEMORY.dump and find the cause for a server reboot.
    Can you please someone help me to narrow down the root cause of this issue and how to avoid this issue in the future.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I analyses the the MEMORY.DMP using the WinDbg. Provided the debug output below. Will this help you to narrow down the root cause and let me know if any similar issue faced by someone else.

  • Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

    Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
    the driver? This is the point of my question!
    I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

    DP
    The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

    FYI

    Hi Susan.  I hope there's a better 'fix' coming to replace this "uninstall the updates, restore, then reinstall the updates after the restore".  This kind of workaround requires that all of us remember that there's a problem
    with KB3023562 and KB3004375 from now until the end of WS2012E.  Not sure I'll remember this 6 months from now when the problem crops up during a restore.   -:(

  • 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 :

  • 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!

  • Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 Scan to Folder - Windows Server 2012 Error: Authentication with the destination has failed check settings

    I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.
    Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
     Administrative Tools
     Server Manager
     Features
     Group Policy Manager
     Forest: ...
     Default Domain Policy
    Computer configuration
     Policies
     Windows Settings
     Security Settings
     Local Policies
     Security Options
     Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
     - Define This Policy
     - Disabled
    However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
    I have also tried the following at the server:
    Policies -> Security Policies
    Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
    Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
    Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
    I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.
    Are there any other things I have missed?

    I can email anybody the firmware module if interested and how to...

  • Running two instances of Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 on the same domain

    We have Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 running as a domain controller -- and have installed another licensed copy of the same thing on the same domain.  We want to use the 2nd server for running an LOB application and provide backup for the
    AD services. 
    The 2nd server is a member of the domain. Can I do this and have the 2nd server provide AD failover services like they do with 2012 Standard? 

    Two things to consider. In the XP and 2003 era, the OS was not written in a security-first fashion. While XP did have LUA, almost nobody used them. Then came Vista and UAC, and those prompts were a major pain point because nobody wrote for security. Fast
    forward 6 years and standard accounts are a normal best practice. Almost nobody in business recommends running daily tasks as administrator.
    I mention all this to illustrate that, similar to admin accounts, what you used to get away with no longer applies. Running LOB apps on a DC is just bad. Many times, the app just doesn't work. But even if you could get it to work, it is a terrible idea.
    If the stories of Home Depot, Target, and most recently Sony don't already give it away, I'll spell it out. We no longer live in an age where you can take shortcuts and expect to be safe. Large organizations make national news when they screw up. But small
    businesses are targeted just as often and are at just as much risk. From "leaking" their client info to having their data held for ransom, the small business is abused regularly, but never makes national news because they are, by definition, small.
    If you can take simple easy steps to help minimize that risk, such as keeping a domain controller free of other software and locked down, then it is almost unethical to do Otherwise in the modern computing era. The world ha changed. It is our responsibility
    as I.T professionals to change with it. That's why we get to call ourselves "professionals" in relation to I.T.
    So, what bad things? Risking the customer's very livelihood. I consider that pretty darn bad.

  • How to open PDF in Acrobat 9 without displaying the Acrobat window

    Am using IAC in Windows XP via VC++ to open and modify PDFs in memory without displaying the Acrobat window so as to the PDF Processing in the background. To open the PDF, have to call the method PDDoc.OpenAVDoc which opens the Acrobat window for displaying the document.
    As a workaround, I tried to minimize and hide the Acrobat viewer, using the AcroApp.Minimize and AcroApp.Hide methods. However opening, minimizing and hiding the viewer is creating a flickering effect (Acrobat window coming and going) especially when a no of PDFs have to be processed in a loop.
    If I use only PDDoc.Open without the call to OpenAVDoc, am getting an error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer".
    Can anyone suggest a workaround to open and process PDFs in memory without displaying the PDF.

    PDL,
    Am getting the Error "No form is open in the Acrobat viewer" while trying to instantiate fields list inside the form via an AcroForms object. The problematic code snippet is given below
    iPDDoc->Open("PDFFileName")
    iAVDoc->AttachDispatch(PDDoc->OpenAVDoc("PDFFileName")), true);
    ipFormApp->CreateDispatch("AFormAut.App", &OleExc)
    i pFields = new IFields(pFormApp->GetFields());
    The GetFields method is giving error in Acrobat 9 but its working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8.
    Since the AV layer methods are working fine in Acrobat 7 and 8, please let me know why they are not working in Acrobat 9 and if there is any workaround.
    Also, if I use only PD Layer methods, can I access the form fields inside the PDF?

  • RemoteFX Windows Server 2012 RC - None of the GPUs on this computer support RemoteFX

    No matter what I've tried, I cannot enable RemoteFX on Server 2012. When I open Hyper-V Manager, right-click on Hyper-V Settings, and click on Physical GPUs, I see the message:
    "None of the physical graphics processing units (GPUs) on this computer support RemoteFX. Use of RemoteFX 3D adapter requires at lease one physical GPU that supports RemoteFX."
    I'm using a computer with an i7 processor, 6GB RAM, and a Nvidia Quadro FX 4800. Also, I have an ASUS motherboard with
    no on-board video. Here are some of the things I've done:
    Installed RDS using Quick Start, Virtual-desktop install
    Installed the latest Windows 8 drivers of Quadro 4800. (Also tried the Server 2008 drivers at one point.)
    Installed the Remote Desktop Session Host (which for some reason doesn't install when you use the RDS wizard)
    I've tried reinstalling the OS numerous times.
    Tried a different graphic card (Nvidia GeForce 260). The card is ~4 years old, but I got it working with RemoteFX on Server 2008. Once I tried it with Server 2012, it didn't work.
    One more observation:
    An article I read says that server must support VM Monitor Mode Extensions, SLAT extensions, virtualization enabled and
    DEP which can be found in the System Information app. When I first install the OS, these fields are marked as
    Yes, but once I install Hyper-V (separately or using the RDS install wizard), these fields disappear and are replaced by the text: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed. In
    the article, it says this text is usually an indication that the machine that the OS is installed on is virtual. Not sure if this is actually an issue.
    I feel like I'm missing something really simple. Like I said, I've gotten RemoteFX working on Server 2008.
    Thanks.
