How to merge partitions in Windows Server 2008 quickly and effectively?

Hi,
In Windows systems we can only extend a partition to unallocated space behind it - so if we have 2 consistent partitions, we can only delete the second one and extend the first one.
If the 2 partitions are on 2 different disks, you can also create a spanned volume - you will still need to delete the second partition and convert both disks to dynamic disk to create the spanned volume.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Dual boot Windows Server 2008 R2 and RHEL 7 Server?

Do someone know how can I setup dual boot of Windows Server 2008 R2 and RHEL 7 Server?
I've tried to install Windows first, then shrink, then install RHEL there.
But GRUB2 loader doesn't offer to start Windows, only Linux in the menu. (probably Windows partition need to be added to grub2 somehow)

Windows Server 2008 x64 and Crystal Reports Server Embedded

We're attempting to certify our software with Windows Server 2008 x64 and want to know the best way to configure both the server and client of Crystal Reports Server Embedded. Currently, our software is certified against Windows Server 2003 x86, and we install Crystal Reports Server Embedded XI Release 2 (no SP) on the application server, and we deploy the Crystal Reports .NET merge modules for XI Release 2 (no SP) on any client machines.
I believe I am correct in stating that no version of Crystal Reports Server Embedded officially supports Windows Server 2008 x64 (based on some other forum postings) until SP1 comes out (which I don't think has happened at this point). If that is true, we can live with installing the RAS on a separate Windows Server 2003 x64, if that's even possible. With that said, can we even get our Windows Server 2008 x64 running with the latest Crystal Reports 2008 .NET merge modules? We've tried many different configurations between CR XI R2 SPs and CR 2008 for both client and server and have very little luck (either it won't install correctly because of x64 or missing .cabs, etc.) on both the client and server side of things.
Can someone suggest the optimal configuration when Windows Server 2008 x64 is in the mix, noting that we can use a secondary Windows Server 2003 (x64 preferred but can fallback to x86)? Or do we have to wait for Crystal Reports Server Embedded 2008 SP1 to be released, and if so, does anyone know of the date?
Thanks,
Ross Beehler

CRSE 2008 is a 32 bit app, it works on 64 bit OS's but all parts must also be running in 32 bit mode.

Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 DNS Problem

Hi,
I have a DNS Server hosted in Windows Server 2008 R2 and our clients are using Windows 7. All are working fine then suddenly there are times that our client cannot access our internal site and cannot connect with our IM which is also hosted in the server.
Tried to ping the server's IP but got this result:
Ping request could not find host .com. Please check the name and
try again.
NSLookup works fine. Tried to use the ip address instead of the domain name and it works. Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas
regarding this?

Hi,
“Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas regarding
this?”
It seems is the client IP address conflict, it may cause by your DHCP Conflict Detection Attempts value setup is not appropriate. You can try to set Conflict Detection Attempts
to a value other than 0.

Hello,
your description is a bit confusing. You get the error message when you try to add the other DC to the DNS management console on one machine?
Both DCs belong to the same domain according to your description?
Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from both DC/DNS servers here.
BTW: PDC/BDC concept is gone since the start from AD with Windows 2000 Server. All DCs are the same, difference are only the FSMO roles, still that can be held from any DC in the domain according to some rules.

Do we need CALS for windows server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 if 2008 R2 is just a stepping stone?

We currently have a server on Windows Server 2008 RC SP2 64-bit with approximately 20 clients.
We want to upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 but first need to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 to allow us to do a straight upgrade.
Is it possible to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 with the 5 CAL's included and then upgradeto 2012 R2 and install 20 new CAL's and keep all users accounts and domain PC's the same?

Ok sorry for using the wrong terminology... I was under the impression for each client (Computer) connecting to the server we will need a CAL (Client Activation License) in order for the computer to be a domain PC on the server. Do I need 20 CALS's
for Windows Server 2008 R2 and then another for Windows Server 2012 R2 if we are only upgrading to 2008 R2 to be able to upgrade to 2012 R2 without having to do a clean install.
For WindowsServer (Standard edition or Enterprise edition or DataCenter edition), a Client Access License (CAL) is required for each device (if you're using the per-Device CAL licensing method), or, is required for each user (if you're using the per-User
CAL licensing method).
(whether you use per-Device, or per-User, is up to you, it comes down to cost).
CALs are version-specific (to a point) - i.e. if you purchased WS2008 CALs for your 20 devices, for use with your WS2008 server, and you are now upgrading that server to WS2012, you need to upgrade your CALs.
If you are adding a second server which is WS2012, and you are keeping your WS2008 server, you need to upgrade your CALs (because you only purchased WS2008 CALs which don't grant you the rights to connect to the newer server).
If you were to install your second server as WS2008, you wouldn't need to purchase additional CALs, because as long as the version is the same, a single CAL grant you access to unlimited server (of the same version).
CALs can be tricky to correctly license.
Here's some introductory reading:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx#tab=1
And, none of this relates to the technical aspects of product installation/configuration at all (e.g. clean install vs. upgrade).
Windows Server CALs are not license keys/tokens/files which you install/load/download - Windows Server CALs are quite literally paper-based (just like a drivers license or car registration). You are required to have them, to be correctly licensed, but, you
don't physically do anything with them to own/drive a car.

How to install IE8 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter?

Hello.
Can anybody tell me, how to install IE8 on 2008 R2 Datacenter?
I've downloaded this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx for "Windows Server 2008 64-bit and more..", removed IE11, IE10, IE9 from installed updates, and runned "dism /online /disable-feature
/featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64".
And nothing helps. I've got a message "Internet Explorer 8 is not supported on this operating system".

you can't "install" IE8 on WS2008R2, nor on Windows7 - because those OS's shipped with IE8.
IE is an OS component, and so when you "upgrade" or "downgrade" IE, you are affecting an OS component.
What this means is that the "IE8" download you are trying to apply, is actually IE8 for WinXP or maybe WinVista.
You can usually "downgrade" Win7 back to IE8, by uninstalling the newer "upgrade" of IE - this causes the OS to automatically attempt to revert to the prior IE version.
This reversion assumes/requires a healthy OS and component store (CBS), including all the pkgmgr file needed to revert to component.
Sometimes, the component store is damaged, or is missing files.
you may need to check the CBS logfiles, and may need to perform SFC /scannow
You may need to use CheckSUR to repair system health.

How to enable hibernation in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi
I am using Windows Server 2008 R2. I want to enable hibernation on server 2008 R2. I have checked the feature in power options but it dose not show any option for sleep & hibernation. I have tried to enable from command prompt by using powercfg -h on
but getting error message that this feature is not supported by firmware. I have updated the firmware but still getting same error.
Also checked with powercfg /energy & getting given below errors.
Platform Power Management Capabilities:System firmware (BIOS) does not support S3.
The hardware in this computer does not support the S3 sleep state.
Platform Power Management Capabilities:System firmware (BIOS) does not support S4 (Hibernate).
The hardware in this computer does not support the S4 (Hibernate) state.
Platform Power Management Capabilities:PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) Disabled
PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) has been disabled due to a known incompatibility
with the hardware in this computer.
Can anyone suggest me how can I enable hibernation on windows server 2008 R2 64 bit.
Thanks.

Hello,
I hate to suggest the obvious, but i'd say your hardware does not support sleep or hibernate.

Merge Module for Windows Server 2008

Hallo,
I made a project with C# in VS 2005, and when I ran this project on a XP machine where no VS 2005 was installed, I needed to make a Setup-Project with a CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm on this machine.
Now I want to run this project on a Windows Server 2008, and this Setup-Project can´t be run on Win Server 2008.
Is there an other Mergemodule for Windows Server 2008?
Every thing runs exept Crystal Reports!
Can somebody help me please???

it was just a beginner mistake, i just had to convert the VS 2005 Project into VS 2008 Project, and install the runtime on the target machine (CRRedist2008_x86.msi). and that´s it!
it was not possible with the Merge Module.
at first I tried to do it with CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm on a Windows 2008 Server.

Essential event viewer bugs with "Forwarded Events" log in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7

To my general experience, Windows event viewer is one of the most problematic, faulty management tools in the case of extensive use of its more sophisticated capabilities. The sole description as well as reproduction of some entangled failures would require
remarkable effort.
With the "Forwarded Events" log however, the situation becomes particularly worse in that even simple functionality fails and workarounds are difficult to find. That’s what I’ll describe here in order to share my experience with interested users.
For precision: I’ve extensively used event viewer on a German Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows SBS 2011 Standard SP1). The bugs I found on that system, I could reproduce on a German Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit SP1, too.
Problem 1: Failure of even simple event filtering
To reproduce this problem, execute these steps on a test machine with any of the two OS mentioned above:
(i) To prepare log contents, do either of the following:
(a) populate some events to your local "Forwarded Events" log (most simply by subscribing events from other logs of the same machine; stop subscription if you have collected some events)
Or
(b) copy a non-empty log file "ForwardedEvents.evtx" from another machine (with any of the two OS mentioned above) to your test machine and open the file in event viewer.
(ii) Navigate to your "Forwarded Events" test log and open the filtering dialog. In the "Includes/Excludes Event IDs" field, type: 1-9000. Click OK.
(iii) Look at the results pane: Surprise, 0 Events! Do you really have no event IDs between 1 and 9000 in your test log?
(iv) Another example, if you have forwarded security events in your test log: Clear filter, if any previous filter is in place. Open the filtering dialog. In "Keywords" sub-dialog, choose "Audit Success". Click OK.
(v) Look at the results pane: Surprise, 0 Events! Do you really have no successful security monitoring events in your test log?
I’ll finish here. If you have a rich variety of events in your test log available, let your imagination run wild to test around. Finally include some simple manually created or modified XPath filters on the XML tab of the filtering dialog. I promise, you’ll
find a lot of additional strange results.
Problem 2: Cannot save manually selected events to .evtx file
Navigate to your "Forwarded Events" test log. In the results pane, select one or more events by highlighting them by mouse clicks. In context menu, choose "Save selected events". In the "save as" dialog, choose file type *.evtx
and save your file. Open the newly created file in event viewer. Result: Surprise, no events inside the new file!
Have more fun with forwarded events
Helmut

Did you mean that right click Forwarded Event and select "Filter Current Log..."? Since I can filter correct event vai the "Filter Current Log..." in my Lab environment.
Hi Justin,
yes, I mean "Filter Current Log ... " (in my German systems: "Aktuelles Protokoll filtern ... ").
What do you mean with "my Lab environment" exactly?
In the meantime, I performed additional tests. I copied the "ForwardedEvents.evtx" test file from Server 2008 R2 resp. Windows 7 to
(i) German Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit RTM
(ii) German Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit, up-to-date
in order to view and filter the file there.
Results: Same event viewer problem on Windows 8 RTM, but correct behavior on Windows 8.1!
Best regards, Helmut

Windows server 2008 R2 and NFS mounted subdirectories.

I am mounting from a Windows Server 2008 R2 Box to a RHEL 6.3 machine and I am able see the folders; however, I am unable to see the sub-folders via the mapped NFS mount in windows. Any ideas as to why? Some additional facts are below.
1. We are using an NFS mount from Windows to RHEL (mount -o
\\RHELBOX\ops\resources R:) We NFS mount from RHEL to a Storage device - the fstab entry looks like this:
10.9.9.9:/vol/afpres1/psf_prod
/ops/resources/prod     nfs
_netdev,defaults
0 0
10.9.9.9:/vol/afpres1/psf_test
/ops/resources/test       nfs
_netdev,defaults
0 0
10.9.9.9:/vol/afpres1/baselib
/ops/resources/psf
nfs          _netdev,defaults
0 0
The RHEL export file looks like this.
/ops/resources 10.4.4.4(rw,sync,no_all_squash,insecure,nohide) (the 10.4.4.4 IP address is the of the 2008 r2 server
/ops/resources 10.4.4.5(rw,sync,no_all_squash,insecure,nohide)
/ops 10.4.11.66(rw,sync,no_all_squash,insecure,nohide)
#/ops/resources *(rw,sync,no_all_squash,insecure,nohide)
/opspool *(rw,sync)
2. We are not using Samba or CIFS

Using Windows Server 2008 with After Effects as Render Slave?

Hi guys,
We have a fair number of servers that run Windows Server 2008 64bit. We wanted to further utilize these boxes and wanted to know if it's possible to use them as render slaves with After Effects? Anybody doing this? We couldn't find anything for system requirements on Windows Server 2008.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Jason

Hi Todd,
Another question for ya. Does it matter if we have some machines still running 32-bit render slaves for after effects and implement a master 64-bit CS5 after effects Master? Can you mix it up OR do all the machines have to be upgraded to the same version, eeven though they are just render slaves? We are just doing some thinking on reconfiguration and what to do so it's right the first time.
Thanks for the input.
Jason
