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

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.

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?

How to upgrade 5.0.1 executable to run on Windows XP?

I need to upgrade the OS on a standalone DAQ system to Windows XP.
This system is controlled by an executable created by LabVIEW 5.01 running on Windows 98.
I am not sure if we have the source code (i.e. LV vi's).
Can any one please tell me how to upgrade the system so that the LabVIEW 5.01 executable can run on Windows XP?
Thank you very much for your help.

I will try after backing up the entire system before trying it.
Another related question, if I can find the source code in LV 5.0.1, will I be able to upgrade it to the latest LV version if I buy the LV package, or do I expect problems?
I guess if it were me I'd just get a new compatible hard drive for the system (since they are so inexpensive these days) and swap it for the one with Win98. Install WinXP to the new drive and be sure that you are happy with the performance of the old machine under WinXP before proceeding. Then you can temporarily add the Win98 drive as an additional disk to the WinXP system and copy the files you need off of it and then set it aside again just in case you are not able to get the LabVIEW working. Swapping disk drives is MUCH faster and usually safer then creating and restoring backups. An alternate similar path is to add the new drive to the Win98 system and, using software like Norton Ghost, clone the Win98 system/disk to the new disk then pull out the old Win98 disk, boot off the cloned Win98 disk and upgrade that disk to WinXP. That way the old applications would exist under the new system and you may be able to run them without any further fuss.
The current version of LabVIEW should be able to read the old VI files. You could always download the demo and try it. As far as having problems, many people in general are not happy with one aspect or another of LabVIEW v8.0 and the patch to 8.0.1 certainly does not fix all the problems but if all you are doing is upgrading old code to run again under 8 then you'll probably be OK.

What software I need to install and and in which order? Help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
You can find many articles on oracle site for this subject.
However in brief following are the steps
1) Create a directory source,executables,images,reports and logfiles.
2) Copy all your forms, menus and pll's in source directory
3) All your images in your image directory
4) All your reports in reports directory
5) All yuor fmx,mmx and plx in executables directory
6) Any log files in logfiles directory
7) Add path of images and executables directory in FORMS_PATH in default.env
8) Configure your formsweb.cfg as your need.
9) Configure report.conf and rwservlet.properties according to your applications.
10) Make jar of icons say myicons.jar.
11) copy myicons.jar in forms/java directory

Migration from Small business server 2011 standad to Windows 2012 Server Standard

Hi everyone,
I have a network with SBS 2011 standard (that is the only server) and now we are moving (migrating) to windows 2012 server standard with an exchange 2013 (not yet installed).
The main thing is that when trying to install the migration tool on the SBS server, it will not install because it is not a 2008 R2 server.
is there a workaround for this problem?
I Hope this will help. Amir Ovadia

Hi,
Would you please first let me know how did you perform the migration? Regarding the migration tool, is it the Windows Server Migration Tools in Windows Server 2012 R2? Since you need to install
the Windows Server Migration Tools on the source SBS 2011 server, I suggest we could perform the following steps to install it.
Create deployment folders for ource computers by running the
smigdeploy.exe tool (included with Windows Server Migration Tools) on your destination server.
Register Windows Server Migration Tools on source computers that are running Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, or Windows
Server 2003 by using SmigDeploy.exe.
For details, please refer to the following article.
Install, Use, and Remove Windows Server Migration Tools
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj134202
In addition, here are some similar threads about how to perform the migration from SBS to Windows Server 2012 Standard, maybe they are useful to us.

Server 2012 vs. Windows 7 / 8. What should a newbie choose?

Hi there!
Am here with a newbie question. Ive been running a Windows Home Server 2003 for several years, and learned alot had great use of it. But the hardware got old, and I wanted to buy a new server.
So, right now I am running my new server with Windows Server 2012 trail, and I've had quite alot of difficulties. So after getting stuck with a Certificate Autority-something, am starting to really wonder if I'd rather should use Windows 7 or 8 to run my
server. Then I dont have to understand all the extra stuff comming with the server edition, but the reason I have this is also to learn how to setup a server.
What should I do? Everyone I know who's interested in server-management is using Linux, and am allways getting stuck with hours of googling, doing stuff that learn a bunch of, but takes me way too much time.
I really wanna learn, but am getting a little fed up with getting stuck all the time.
Just to mention it, am using my server mainly for http, php, mysql and ftp service, running file-sharing over my network, and stuff like that, but really enjoy the more advanced features I had on the server 2003 that I could experiment with.
What do you think?

Hi atomprompen,
Besides the suggestion of using Windows 8 Professional, you may also consider to use Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
Windows Server 2012 Essentials is the latest version of Windows Small Business Server. Windows Server 2012 Essentials is a flexible, affordable, and easy-to-use server solution designed and priced for small businesses with up to 25 uses and 50 devices that
helps them reduce costs and be more productive.
Also, Windows Home Server has seen its greatest success in small office/home office (SOHO) environments and among the technology enthusiast community. For this reason, Microsoft is combining the features that were previously only found in Windows
Home Server, such as support for DLNA-compliant devices and media streaming, into
Windows Server 2012 Essentials and focusing our efforts into making Windows Server 2012 Essentials the ideal first server operating system for both small business and home use—offering an intuitive administration experience, elastic and resilient
storage features with Storage Spaces, and robust data protection for the server and client computers.
For more details, please refer to
Windows Server 2012 Essentials FAQ.
We can also download
Windows Server 2012 Essentials trial to evaluate it.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2) - all client computers offline

The server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2). I have had this problem ever since I first installed the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server in the summer of 2013 (before R2 was released). The Windows Server 2012 Essentials server shows offline
for all Devices under Dashboard. (Allow me to add that I just installed another site with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, and it was a breeze - all of the computers at the second install site are online.) I have one Windows 8.1 Pro client and the rest
are Windows 7 Pro clients. The problem occurs on ALL client computers.
I have removed computers from Devices in Dashboard on the server, rebooted the server, changed the client computer to a workgroup, rebooted the client computer, and reinstalled the connector software on the client computer. Same result. I
have tried this on a Windows 7 Pro client and a Windows 8.1 Pro client with the same results.
After running the connector on a client computer and waiting for the server to update its Devices status, if I look under Devices on the server Dashboard, the Windows 8.1 client computer will say online but within 24 hours it goes offline again. The
Windows 7 client computers never show online. Both computers stay offline - they NEVER show an online status (referring to the status under Devices in Dashboard).
I should make it clear that the clients can access the server shares with no problem. File synchronization works great. The clients can ping the server and the server can ping the clients. But client backups on the server fail.
One of the most troublesome things about this problem is that it prevents the client computers from being accessed remotely using the website setup by Anywhere Access. I can login to get remote access to the shared files on the server, but
the only computer that says "online" is the server. All of the other computers are "offline".
The server and clients are only using Windows firewall. The clients all use Microsoft Security Essentials for their anti-virus.
I used a troubleshooting tool that tells me that there are problems with port 6602 on the server, but the clients are all fine with port 6602. I know port 6602 is important for using Anywhere Access but I am still trying to find out more details on that.
I have checked all of the firewall settings related to port 6602 on the server, and the firewall settings look like the standard Windows settings for this port. I used netstat to find the PID associated with the port, and I looked up the PID to find the service.
That all looked standard, too.
I have been working on this problem since the summer of 2013!! Does anyone have ANY suggestions?!!
HELP!

Hi,
Just addition, please check if all necessary Windows updates are installed on those
“Offline” client computer.
When connect client computers to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server by using the Connector software, there
will be LAUNCHPAD on the client computer. Was this LAUNCHPAD grayed out? Please check if can access Shared Folders via this LAUNCHPAD. Meanwhile, please ping the Windows Server 2012 Essentials via IP address and server name when client computers show as
Offline. Any find?
Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials
In addition, please follow the path on Server and client computer:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs. Did you check any relevant Server-side logs and
Client-side Logs if find more clues?

Server Essentials 2012/2012 R2 Log Files

SQL on Server 2012 Essentials

What are the options and/or limits for running SQL server (Standard or Express, 2012 or 2008 or 2005) on Server 2012 Essentials? Thank you.

Most best practice is that it is not a good idea to run SQL on a DC. However, I am not aware of any negatives, other than the disclaimers about it being a DC and possible RAM or I/O issues. Were possible, I would use Express as it is
a LOT less expensive and requires fewer resources. It was only a generation or two ago that SQL and Exchange and ISA server all ran on "the" DC and could not be relocated by EULA, for up to 75 users.
From this document:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/windows-server-essentials/default.aspx
Follow the Learn More at the bottom, for a pdf that reads, in part:
Q: What applications can I run on Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
A: Almost all Windows Server 2012 applications should run on Windows Server 2012 Essentials. Windows Server
2012 Essentials differs from Windows Server 2012 primarily in that several of the roles and features of Windows
Server are automatically installed and configured according to best practices for a small business environment. In
some cases, an application that is designed to run on Windows Server 2012 may require that specific roles and/or
features are not enabled. See the manufacturer’s product information for specific details.
Do NOT take what I am about to say as gospel... I am NOT a SQL expert. But imo, the reason to not run SQL server on the DC is that it is busy enough and in an AD enviornment where there are potentially thousands of users the server would be too busy
servicing those requests to be a good candidate for SQL. But in network of 25 users or less..... ??

Questions on managing Office 365/Exchange Online Mailboxes in Server 2012 Essentials

Wondered if anyone could answer a couple of queries:
When managing Office 365/Exchange Online mailboxes in Windows Server 2012 Essentials:-
1. Does the server itself act as the Exchange server i.e. does it do all of the downloading/sending of emails or does Outlook on each workstation still communicate direct with the Office 365/Exchange Online server address?
2. Does Outlook on each workstation have the Exchange server address set to the internal address of the Server 2012 Essentials box or does it still have the external Office 365/Exchange Online server address?
I don&#39;t work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

Hi,
When you integrate Office 365/Exchange Online mailboxes in Windows Server 2012 Essentials,you can see the mailbox usage information on the Essentials Dashboard and manager users. However, the essentials server won't download/send emails and Outlook
will still communicate with the O365/Exchange Online Server. In addition, the Exchange server address would be point to the external server address.

Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Remote Web Access fails to connect to Windows 8.1 PC

I am using Remote Web Access (RWA) gateway with Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.
There are several workstations all running Windows 7, and have been using RWA without an issue for well over a year.
There is now a Windows 8.1 Pro PC added to this domain, but the Remote Desktop does not connect.
The Windows 8.1 PC appears in the RWA pages, It requests the credentials to connect, and then fails with the following error:
Remote Desktop can't find the remote computer "COMPUTERNAME". This might mean that the "COMPUTERNAME" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are typing to connect to.
I can connect to all other PC fine (running Windows 7). I have tried from different locations and PC's and the results are the same.
I thought I had fixed this problem a few weeks back. After running all updates on the server and Windows 8.1 PC, and rebooting both, the RDP worked, but I think it only worked once and then failed the next time someone tried to use it. I have not had
a successful connection to the Windows 8.1 PC since.
I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot this as there are no errors on the system which can't be accessed.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Mr Cheese,
à
I turned off the Firewall on the Windows 8.1 PC and the RDP is now working.
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Based on your description, this issue is related to Firewall. Would you please let me know current situation
of this issue?
Just addition. Please open Control Panel, select Windows Firewall and click Allow an app or feature through
Windows Firewall. Then please check if Remote Desktop is allowed. Meanwhile, please click Advanced settings in Windows Firewall panel and click Inbound Rules, then check if rules which be related to Remote Desktop were enabled.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Dashboard Problems

I'm having a problem on a Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Server. The Dashboard has stopped working correctly. The Dashboard loads fine but once it loads there is not data visible. Under the different tabs there are no User accounts listed,
Server Folders, Hard Drives, etc. When trying to add a new user we get the following error message:
"There was a problem adding the user account
Cannot create the user account. Please restart the Add a User Account Wizard, and then try again."
The next message is:
"There was a problem adding the user account.
The Add a User Account Wizard cannot communicate with the server storage system. If you continue to experience this problem, it may help to restart the server. If the problem persists, contact a computer support profssional, or visit the Microsoft Web site

Any possible ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

SQL 2008 R2 small business server OS edition check fails on SBS 2011 premium install on SBS member server.

I am having trouble installing SQL 2008 Small Business Edition on top of MS 2008 std from the SBS premium suite. I recieve the SQL Server 2008 R2 setup log error stateing "Operating system supported for edition "Failed". The specific error is "EditionRequirementCheck
Failed" This SQL server edition is not supported on this operating system.
The SQL 2008 server is a valid SBS domain member server and sees the SBS domain just fine. I have tried re-installing the OS. Not selecting any options except the SQL engine, verbose logging as per How to diagnose "Operating system supported for edition"
pre-requisite errors while installing SQL 2008 Standard Edition for Small Business with no success. (no log.txt generated), enabled browsing, and other items with no luck.
I got the software from MVLS under the specific SBS 2011 premium section. It doesnt seem right or sees something to keep it from installing. The SBS AD box is clean with all FSMO and root functions assigned to it. There are no trust relationships or
child domains. I have licenses for 75 users. Of course there is no tool, log or utility to find what the actual issue the SQL installation is seeing. SOS! Help!!!

I meet all prerequisites that can be verified.
I am installing it on the SBS Premium Server 2008 R2 OS from MVLS with the ISO file ending in 29732.
I am on a valid SBS 2011 domain.
The new SQL box is joined to the domain as a member server.
THe SBS server contains alll FSMO roles and is the root of the AD.
There are no trust relationships or child domains.
There is NO way that I can find to determine the number of user and device licenses that it "senses" on the domain. I dont know which ones to count. I am licensed for 75 users and have less than that useing the network. There is no licensing monitor or meathod
I can find to actually verify what the SQL install sees.
I am doing all this logged in as the domain admin.
The troubleshooting steps at the bottom of the post refrenced do not work or I am doing them wrong. I cannot find an output file when I enable verbose logging for the SQL install. I believe if I figure out how it may point the way to the block. Thanks

Migration of Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials

Hi,
I am trying to migrate Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials by following the steps given in the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200112.aspx
I have looked at other threads on the forum but none of them have been too helpful.
The issue: When
I run the Migration Preparation Tool on the Source Server, it runs successfully and does not report any errors. However, when I try installing Windows Server 2012 Essentials on the Destination Server, it displays an error that says 'Source
Server not prepared for migration: After you run the Migration Preparation Tool successfully on your source Server, click retry'.
The Source Server has 2 network adapters-one for the local network and the other for connection to the internet and the router is set as the default gateway this adapter.
Since it is mentioned in the documentation - 'configure your Source Server to use one network adapter', I'm wondering if this is the issue and I need to make changes in this configuration?
On running the Microsoft IT Environment Health Scanner tool it
reported an error - 'DNS Server listening on multiple addresses' and a warning ‘Domain Controller listening on multiple addresses’. Both point to the same solution KB 272294 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272294).
But it did not remove the errors.
Other steps performed:
As per the steps, I performed a backup, installed recent service packs and synchronized the source server time with external source.
On running the Best Practices Analyser. It shows 3 warnings.
- The threshold for the Allocated Memory alert is set to the default value. However the server has more than 2 GB of RAM installed.
- Microsoft Outlook Client not installed" Text="Microsoft Outlook Client is not installed in the ClientApps folder. You must run Windows SBS integrated setup.
- The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
I also ran the Ran netdiag.exe, dcdiag.exe commands
and no failures were reported.
The Event Viewer does not show any errors.
Not sure to what extent these warnings would affect the migration.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The SBS2003 needs to use one NIC only so you'll need to change that before starting. If it is the premium version and has ISA server installed, that will need to be removed first. See:
