How to RDP access my Windows server 2012 system with Windows 7 system

In the VMWARE workstation, I have a " Windows server 2012" & " WIndows 7" OS deployed. I am not able to RDP the " Windows server 2012" from "Windows 7" system even though i have performed the below step.
1. Enabled the " Allow Remote Connections to this comptuter " in windows server 2012
2. Disabled the firewall in Windows server 2012.
Can someone advice me on the below.
1. How to RDP my windows server 2012 from my Windows 7 with " Firewall disabled" & "Firewall Enabled" conditions

Hi,
Just make sure that the firewall is disabled in all three profiles Domain/Private/Public.
Create a incoming UDP rule on firewall to allow port 3389 and give a try.

Clustering Free Hyper-V or Windows Server 2012 Standard with Windows Server 2012 Datacenter

Hi,
Is anyone running a cluster which has Datacenter 2012 clustered with either Standard 2012 or Hyper-V 2012?
I have seen posts here and elsewhere that say it is possible but when I rang Microsoft Licencing team to discuss licensing in this scenario they advised me that the hardware and OS on each clustered server must be identical.
Now I'm really confused.
Thanks,

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.

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 ??

I can't access folder share in WIndows Server 2012 R2 from windows 8.1

i have a strange case:
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine with a shared folder. Accessing this folder using a Win7, Win8,
Win 2008 R2 machine using \\servername works fine but form windows 8.1 or windows
2012 r2 i can't so any one can help me.

Hi,
Would you please let me know the complete error message that you can find, when can’t access to the share folder
that host in the Windows Server 2012 R2?
If you logon the Windows 8.1 (or server 2012 r2) with administrator account, will encounter the same issue?
Meanwhile, please access the share folder via \\server’s IP address\share folder. Then please check if this issue still persists.
In addition, there is a similar thread. Please refer to and check if can help you.

How can I upgrade Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials?

I have just installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials on my Home Network (from the installation DVD). I have done absolutely no configuration Installing Server 2012 was an oversight; I meant to install Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
I tried to correct by installing R2 from its DVD, hoping it would do an upgrade. That didn't work.
Is there a simple way to make it possible to install the correct OS?   For example, can I just demote the existing server and remove any roles that were installed, so that the R2 disk will install over top of the existing installation?
Alternatively, is it safe to just reformat the partition and install R2?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn408635.aspx seems to imply that this is OK.
David Pike, P.Eng, MCITP

Hi Larry.   Thanks for the reply. It didn't work, but I don't believe you are wrong. Rather I think there is something weird in my system. I'm marking your reply as answer.
Some background: I'm repurposing an older PC (Compaq SR1614X) as a home server, to manage my home network, use as a gateway to my Azure server, and to help my Server 2012 training (on MVA). I've been messing with it for nearly two months,
on and off. From the start, I've had trouble installing the server 2012 software (see previous threads August-27 and August-16
), but when I got to the point that I could install Server 2012 Essentials, I thought I could upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Essentials exactly as you suggest. That was where you helped me a lot, i.e. you confirmed that my expectations were reasonable.
So when it didn't work, I spent most of yesterday trying various different procedures. I got tantalizingly close, but still no cigar.
I can install any Windows Client and Server 2012 Essentials, but the R2 Essentials installation never finishes; it goes into an "error 0x000000C4" boot loop. At first I wondered if it was because I was installing a server over a
server, but you confirmed that's not the issue. I later verified that I cannot install R2 over Windows 7 either, whereas R1 over Win7 is fine. I can only surmise one of two problems:
I have a bad installation disk
There is a hardware issue
I plan to eliminate (1) by creating a new disk from a new download. I have verified that the latest ISO file and the one I have been using have identical byte counts,
For (2), I had suspected that the problem was that the older system has no UEFI, but since R1 installs OK, I am discounting that. Today's effort: to eliminate the DVD drive, I will try booting from a Flash Drive. To eliminate
the hard drive, I will try installing to a different drive.
I am hoping you can help with one more thing. When I run setup.exe with the /noreboot option, I have a better chance of success. The option suppresses the first reboot only, but that one (after "Expanding the setup files") always
fails, so suppressing it gets me almost to the end of the install. Is there a way to modify setup.exe so the it always runs with the /noreboot option?

Microsoft // Winlogon 4005 (The Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated) on one Windows Server 2012 VM with working RDS roles installed

Hello experts,
I have deployed all essential RDS roles and features on one Windows Server 2012 Virtual Machine
a few months ago and I recently ran into issues with users not being able to access it through RDP all of a sudden after entering credentials successfully.
Every time that happens I get an event ID Winlogon 4005 (The Windows logon process has unexpectedly
terminated). I am also receiving but not all the time event ID 6000 and 6003 referring to being unable to handle critical or normal events from AUinstallAgent.
Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your support.

DirectAccess Client not connecting without error code on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

Hello,
we are currently migrating from Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2 and are not able to get the new Direct Access Service up and running. Our goal is to establish DirectAccess connection for a handful of clients using the IPHTTPS-adapter on the default port 443.
Errors:
There is actually no error showing up. It seems the infrastructure tunnel cannot be created but none of the IPv6-transition adapters is connecting (teredo and 6-to-4 are down) and the IPHTTPs adapter gives no informations about a problem:
>Get-DAConnectionStatus
Status : Error
Substatus : CouldNotContactDirectAccessServer
>Get-NetIPHttpsState
LastErrorCode : 0x0
InterfaceStatus : Failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server; waiting to reconnect
Setup:
Our setup is a virtualized Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard running on Hyper-V. It is located behind a NAT having the Port 443 mapped to the server. The only role installed after the basic install is RRAS including DirectAccess and VPN. The assistants completed
successfully (running the configuration for DirectAccess and VPN). Operation Status says everything is green und working (for multiple days in the meanwhile). A previous direct access installation (on a different machine running Windows Server 2012) has
been removed before installing the new server. The new installation is using a different router, so this might also be the cause of a problem.
The client is a Windows 8.1 notebook located outside the company network accessing the internet through another NAT-device. The client has been able to connect to the previous DirectAccess setup but has never been able to establish a connection after the
setup of the new Direct Access server. The device has no outbound constraints concerning the NAT-device and is only running the integrated Windows Firewall.
Diagnosis:
So far I've done some basic DNS and connectivity checks. The DNS-name can be resolved correctly and the router even responds to pings. The port forward is working and HTTPs connections are generally possible (temporarily routed the port to
access the NLS-Website located on the server, which worked fine).
Network monitor shows that both computers are communicating, traffic on the expected Port 443 is incoming on the server and responses from the server reach the client.
Opening the IPHTTPs-url and in an endless page load. Sometime the browser page closes but I've never seen any result. Using telnet on the port shows that the server is accepting connections. I've even build a small test application that does a GET-Request
on the URL returning HTTP-200 and no content.
I'm currently running out of ideas what to do and since no error occurs this is kind of a bit frustrating. Any help appreciated.
Regards
Matthias

Hi,
In addition, have you disabled the DA client components on the DA client? If no, please also check
the settings on the Name Resolution Policy Table.

DirectAccess Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 - status connecting

I've successfully deployed DirectAccess on Windows Server 2012 R2 in a 2 node NLB cluster. Everything in the console is green and I can see clients connecting.
Windows 7 clients can connect and with the DirectAccess connectivity assistant installed show as connected and I can access resources.
On a Windows 8.1 client I can access resource and run the troubleshooting tool which reports no errors, but if I look at connections it shows as connecting and the status never changes to connected. Clients work correctly when on the internal network.
I've looked at available hotfixes, but not found anything for when the status is incorrectly shown.
Any ideas before I raise a support call?

Windows Server 2012 R2 - ADFS/Windows Network Load Balancing Converging Issue

Hello,
My name is Brandon. We have started upgrading our servers to Windows Server 2012 R2. We have some powerful servers for running ESXI 5.5 as the OS with the Guest Operating Systems as Windows Server 2012 R2. As far of our migrations/upgrades we have configured
ADFS 2012 R2 into a Server Farm with Windows Network Load Balancing to add redundancy in the event a server goes down.
I have been having issues with a Node with the Cluster getting stuck in the Status of Converging. The only way I have been able to get it back up is to restart the virtual server completely and it is temporary. When I first configure the Cluster the two
virtual servers get added to the Node with no problems and fully converge. However, after some time a node will end up in Converging and this takes Authentication for ADFS down as the nodes can not be contacted over Port 443.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that：2 ESXI 5.5 physical devices (192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.6), each of them has a virtual WS 2012 R2(192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.20). Cluster the 2 virtual servers successfully, but they corrupt with event
ID 21, and a restart of virtual device will resolve this problem temporarily.
Event ID 21 means that NLB failed to converge due to inconsistencies in the port rules between this host and cluster host. This will occur if the number of port rules or the type of port rules are different between hosts.
Ensure that all NLB hosts have identical port rules. Detailed steps you may reference:

Is Windows Server 2012 compatible with HP Officejet pro 8600 plus printers

Hello,
I am wondering whether HP officejet pro 8600 plus printers compatible with Windows server 2012 - I have the driver installed on the server and deployed - installation of the driver and all was successful but it won't print from the server or on a user's computer from the deployed printers list. No error message comes up, I just click print and nothing happens. If I install it individually on the user computers - it seems to print as a 'network printer' but won't print from the server, and if it can not print from the server then it can not print from the deployed printers list. I was looking up on driver compatibility list online earlier and could not find Windows Server 2012 mentioned on the list - only server 2008 and below.
Essentially what I am trying to find out is whether this officejet pro 8600 plus printer is compatible with our server.
Many thanks,
Michael Peters

Downgrade Windows Server 2012 License to WIndows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
I'm looking to downgrade a windows server 2012 open license to windows server 2008 r2.
Thing is i do not have an existing windows server 2008 r2 VLK.
Can anyone confirm that this downgrade is possible, as clearinghouse is not helping by telling me that i can't buy windows server 2008 r2 licenses

Clearinghouse is right in stating you can't buy Windows Server 2008 R2
licenses anymore.
You'll need a Windows Server 2008 R2 disk kit and product key. They'll sell those to you, since you already own a license that allows you to install and use the software as part of your Windows Server 2012 license.

Windows Server 2012 VSS error "The system writer is missing"

Hello All,
I have a HP server that I have just installed Server 2012 standard, SQL Server 2012 and Sharepoint 2013.
When I try to take bare metal backup I get the error: "The system writer is missing", I have tried the backup as the local admin and domain admin.
The backup will only work if I decide to back up C:, once I select "Bare Metal" or "System State" the backup fails.
I have tried this solution: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734021.aspx but have not had any luck yet.
When I run the command "vssadmin list writers" I can not see "System Writer" listed.
How can I add/turn on the System Writer?

Hi,
The system writer fails due to the fact that the trusted installer & system accounts are missing permissions to files in the directory %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\.
To resolve this issue, please run the following commands from an administrative elevated Command Window:
CD c:\windows\system32
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\* /a
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "BUILTIN\Users:(RX)"

Adding Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 to my Windows 2008 domain

Hi,
We have a Windows 2008 domain, and now we need to configure IE 10 options, so we have to import the Windows 8 / 2012 ADMX files. Can we just do the following:
1. Download
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36991
2. Unzip it and copy the .admx files to c:\Windows\Sysvol\<domain>\policies and create a directory called policydefinitions
3. Then just re-open Group Policy Management ?
Correct way or not? Will this have any implication on network or any old GPO.
Thanks for reply
/Regards Andreas

Doesn't exist - only "Server certificate". The old URL might still be valid.
