How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 Foundation to Windows Server 2008 Standard

I have a Dell server with Windows Server 2008 Foundation installed. I am now on a larger network which has their own servers for authentication and the Windows Server 2008 Foundation will not let join a domain with more than 15 users. I was told that I needed
to upgrade Windows server 2008 foundation to Windows server 2008 Standard and that process can be done "in place" but I can't find how do do it. I called Dell and they said they basically said they didn't know what I was talking about.
How do I do this?

According to the first one you can perform an in-place upgrade.

How to Upgrade Service Manager 2012 SP1 with Windows 2008 R2 to SCSM 2012 R2 with Windows 2012 R2

Hi,
We are using Service Manager 2012 SP1 UR2 with Windows 2008 R2.
I am planning to upgrade Service Manager to R2 with Windows 2012 R2. I found the steps to upgrade SCSM 2012 Sp1 to R2 but need assistance to upgrade with 2012 R2 OS.
Please suggest how to achieve the above mentioned objective.
Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

Virtualization solves this problem handily, by allowing you to create a new server to run the new program on the same hardware. it also solves the related problem of moving off unsupported hardware without changing OS or application. VMware is my personal
favorite, but Hyper-V, Xen, and VirtualBox all have similar capabilities.
Compare the cost of work and confidence in success of a upgrade, where any of thousands or millions of uncontrolled settings could cause an issue, to the cost of work and confidence in success of installing a new OS instance and configuring a known state
for the new environment.
In short, upgrades should no longer be a thing. there are just too many ways they can go wrong, and it's far too easy to create a new OS with minimal expense and effort.

How will upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 Server work?

I need to order a new XServe to run as a Gateway Server now but am unsure when 10.5 comes out what the upgrade process will be from 10.4.
Will it be a simple upgrade, saving all of the settings? Or will it be a clean install, resulting in me having to reconfigure everything?
XServer Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Since 10.5 isn't yet available, no one can say for sure.
However, historically speaking, most upgrdes have been fairly seamless, with the most problems coming from configuration tweaks that you've made outside of Apple's tools.
For example, if you've customized your base apache or postfix configuration by hand those changes my not transpire, so a backup is always a good idea.

Hyper-v Role in Windows Server 2012 foundation and Essentials

Hello,
I have seen that the two low cost version of Windows Server 2012 essential and Foundation) will not support hyper-v. Can you please tell me what it means exactly :
Can you please tell me what is possible :
-The server can not be installed as a hyper-v guest (probably yes)
-The hyper-v role can not be installed on the server (so I have to rely on vmware)?
- Hyper-v role can be installed but there is no free license included with the server.
Thank you
Marc

I suppose then, you would have to install Windows 8 and Hyper-V as your guest or core.
Then run your Server 2012 Foundation under Win8. which has 512GB Memory Limit.
It seems asinine that you cannot install this role on Foundation, but seemingly you could work around it with Win8. (Or Sun Virtual Box (free) (or VmWare(Free).
So load up a dozen Win8Pro virutal sessions on that Win8 VirtualBox with up to 512GB Memory and Create your own Ghetto Remote Desktop Server with Foundation and Windows 8. ;)
What good is it if your can't run Hyper-V and Remote desktop services? Those are the two apps small business need most. But Microsoft strips it out, calls it a DEAL (Essentials and Foundation) , yet if you want the good stuff, you're gonna
have to buy Server 2012 Standard anyhow, + the CALs.
So you are hooked into this "deal" by Microsoft Special Offer. Its special alright, because you get to buy it twice. The stripped down version that come with your server, then the full version when you discover Foundatoin and Essentials gives
you AD, and thats it. Nothing Else. No "deal"
Remember:
All you get with Foundation or Essentials is AD and Group Policy.
You cannot load RDP on Foundation or Essentials
You cannot load Exchange on a DC, or Foundation or Essentials
You cannot load Exchange and RDP on the same box.
You cannot have Remote Web Apps if you load RDP on your DC.
You cannot win with Microsoft. No worthwhile "deal" has ever come out of the city of Redmond.
The internet is a one-way money pipeline to Microsoft.
Its three times the work, three times the cost and requires three servers licenses to do with 2012, what you could do with one 2008R2 license.
Might as well purchase 2 Server 2013 Standard Editions if you want:
1.) Active Directory
2.) Remote Desktop and Remote Apps
3.) Your own Exchange Server
You are better off installing a NAS if all you need is a file server.
Why bother with Foundation or Essentials? Its a "Gimmick-ware"

How to upgrade from solaris 8 to solaris 10

Hi,
Currently our server is installed with OS 8. I want to upgrade it to OS 10 as some application software is no more support OS 8. Can you advise on how to upgrade to OS 10 without affecting current server settings and configrations.
Thanks
vlsi

>
upgrade to OS 10 without affecting current server
settings and configrations.Generally speaking, Solaris installs will offer you the opportunity to do an "upgrade" install that will preserve your existing config.
Practically speaking, however, you need to have enough disk space to do the upgrade, and Solaris 10's full install is much larger than Solaris 8's.
The install can also offer to do a data backup for you if it finds it has to resize your disk partitions, so you should be prepared with a tape drive (or available extra disk or NFS filesystem) for temporary storage of the backup.
Even with all this, I would still recommend you make a backup of your system before starting.

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

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)

How do I/can I install Windows 8 policies on a Windows Server 2008 system.

Hi,
I'm currently working on a customer server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2. They are in the process of upgrading their machines to Windows 8.
The problem they have is they don't want all the extra tiles on the metro screen, so I've exported a template of how they want it to look. The problem I am having at the minute is installing the windows 8 group policy settings on their server, so that I can
set the start screen template for all domain machines.
How do I correctly install the Windows 8 policies on the system? I've got them downloaded as admx files from the MS website ready to go, but it's not as straight forward as I imagined.
Thanks in advance,
Kealan Riding-Smith

Hello,
you can add the .admx and .adml file for the language to your policydefinitions folder BUT the GPMC must be used from the new OS instead Windows server 2008 R2.

How to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard

how to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard(OEM system Builder Pack)?

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no upgrade path for OEM licensing. In addition, only SBS 2008 Standard can upgrade to SBS 2011 Standard, and there is no path to so
that from SBS 2011 Essentials. I am sorry to say that you may need a migration instead of an upgrade.
Best regards,
Susie

Upgrade windows server 2008 x86 to windows server 2012

Hello i am using windows server 2008 x86 as my primary domain controller,
I want to install windows server 2012 R2 and make it additional Domain Controller and transfer the roles to make it primary Domain Controller.
How do i upgrade the Schema as i am using windows server 2008 x86. and how do i transfer the roles.

Hello,
After successful installation of the Windows 2012R2 OS, go to the server manager and Install the Active Directory Server Role: In server manager go to manage-> add roles and features wizard -> skip welcome -> Select Role-based or Feature based installation
-> Select your local server -> Select Active Directory Domain Services (including management tools) -> go throughout the wizard and press finish. Note, that schema upgrade would take care by itself.
After the Role installation you have to promote the server as an additional DC to an existing domain: On the flag on top of the server manager's console, there should be 1 notification. Press the flag and select the "Promote this server to a domain controller"
link. Choose the option to add a domain controller to an existing domain and go through the wizard.
After successful completion (including restart) open command prompt as admin and type ntdsutil.exe -> ntdsutil prompt opens -> type Roles -> type connections -> type connect to server <your new Win12 server name> -> type quit to go to
FMSO maintenance prompt -> type transfer infrastructure master (confirm transfer) -> type transfer naming master (confirm transfer) -> type transfer PDC (confirm transfer) -> type transfer RID master (confirm transfer) -> type
transfer schema master (confirm transfer).
To verify transfer: type select operation target -> type list roles for connected server
Exit ntdsutil.exe (ctrl+C) and confirm configuration status by checking the event viewer and by running dcdiag.exe in command prompt.

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

>   * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the
>    Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the
>    Start Menu.
You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

How to activate Windows 8.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 KMS server when I don't have Windows 2012 R2 kms host key

I only have windows 8.1 kms host key but I can't add a client OS kms key to Windows 2008 R2 kms server. And I don't have Windows 2012 R2 license either. Is there any way I can activate Windows 8.1 using my existing kms server? Thanks.

I would like a yes no clarification answer. So does this mean that EVEN WITH THE PATCH. My Server 2012 Standard edition that currently hosts KMS VA for clients running Win7, Win 8, Office15, Server 2008, Server 2012. Will not be able to host windows 8.1?
I will have to install 8.1 and use as a host?
if you have a KMShost product key for WS2012R2, you can patch a down=level Server and be fine.
(the OP didn't renew SA or otherwise has no KMShost pkey for WS2012R2)

I'm having similar issues and have a similar question that doesn't seem to be answered:
My KMS server is Windows 2008 R2 (Also is my domain controller). I want to activate Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 machines off this KMS server. I can install the 2012 R2 key just fine but receive error 0xC004F015 (The Software Licensing Service reported
that the license is not installed) when I try to install my 8.1 KMS key.
What I'm gathering from this thread is that I have to set up a Windows 8.1 host and set it up to be a KMS server exclusively for activating Windows 8.1. Is this correct? If so, Microsoft needs to fix that. I have a SERVER for activations for a reason: it
is a server, not a client. If I am mis-understanding, how do I get my Windows 2008 R2 server to accept the Windows 8.1 KMS key for activating 8.1 clients?
Thanks!
You don't need Windows 8.1 KMS key. Your 2012 R2 KMS key will be able to activate your Windows 8.1 machines. So your current set up is fine, no need to set up another Windows 8.1 KMS host.
My problem is I don't have 2012 R2 KMS key as I didn't buy any Windows 2012 R2 license. So I can't use 2012 R2 KMS key to activate my Windows 8.1.
Oh that's interesting. I guess I need to play around more because my 8.1 test machine isn't activating. I'll start a new thread for that if needed. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi SYaGCi,
Denis is right this is actually documented in the Supported Platforms Documentation:
"Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are new platform support additions in Service Pack 3 which are only available for support on the SP3 full release install of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. The SP3 patch only release of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise does not provide support for these two new platforms."
Kind regards,
John
