In-place upgrade from Server 2012 to Server 2012 R2

I have a Dell PowerEdge 1850.  I installed Server 2012 Standard. This works fine.  I made it a domain controller in an existing domain.  I also added Print Management Role.  This was working fine.
I then did an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2.  Now it is stuck in a rebooting loop.
It says "Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button.  Error Code: 0x000000C4.  Parameters: 0x0000000000000091, 0x00000000000000F, 0xFFFFF803827DCA00, 0x0000000000000000.
I cannot get out of this loop.  Others have said they have this problem when installing with virtualization.  However, I am installing on the native hardware.  The CPU does not support hardware virtualization.
This worked fine with Server 2012.  In fact, I have 4 other Domain Controllers that are identical to this one running Server 2012.  Did Server 2012 R2 add a CPU feature check that is hampering this?

The 1850 is a pretty old box.  What you are running into sounds like the lack of a proper disk driver for the box (I've had that happen multiple times during new releases).  The disk driver needs to be provided by Dell.  I don't believe Dell
supports the 1850 with 2012 R2, so getting a driver for it might be a bit of a challenge.  You can find which servers Dell supports under the different versions of Windows Server by checking out
www.windowsservercatalog.com.
Microsoft only puts supported device drivers submitted by the vendors well ahead of time on the distribution media.  Seeing that you were able to get 2012 running on the 1850s earlier, my guess is that you had separate media for the driver that you
used during the installation.  There is a place during the installation that allows the loading of device drivers that are not on the installation media.  If you can get Dell to give you a driver for 2012 R2 for the 1850s, maybe you can update the
driver under 2012 and then update the OS.
Personally, though, I never upgrade a domain controller in place.  It is so easy to simply create a new one and add it to the domain.  Then, if you do have a driver for 2012 R2, you can load it during the clean installation.

    I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
    At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
    spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
    I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
    'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending. 
    After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
    as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
    Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though.

  • Upgrade from Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 to Snow Leopoard

    I need to know how to Upgrade from Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 to Snow Leopoard. I just need to get the 29.00 Snow Leopard? no the 499$. just one server and no clients to him.
    thanks

    You cannot use the standard desktop Snow Leopard upgrade on a machine running any flavor of OS X Server. There is a lot of 'under-the-hood' functionality that would not take well to attempting this and could render you with a dead Mac until you reinstall the original OS.
    If you wish to keep the Server functionality, the Snow Leopard Server upgrade ($499) is the only option.
    If you wish to ditch the Server functionality and use the standard desktop version, you would need a copy of the desktop version of OS X 10.5 Leopard and the ($29) Snow Leopard upgrade. Apple does sell both 10.5 and the Snow Leopard upgrade in a combo bundle.

  • 'In place' upgrade from 7.8 to 8.1

    Hi!
    I'm kicking off some planning around an upgrade from 7.8 to 8.1 / 8.2 Public Sector. Aside from the repository and non-repository code item work, I've started to think about the logistics of upgrading the actual software. Our plan is to keep the phyiscal architecture as is, as it's more than capable of supporting 8.1. We're running completely on Win2K3 with an Oracle 10g back end DB.
    Has anyone performed an 'in place' upgrade from 7.8 to 8.1? That is, starting cutover with 7.8 running on a set of phyiscal servers and finishing cutover with 8.1 running on the same set of machines?
    I'm thinking along the lines of a 2 phase cutover, taking a weekend to install software, configure new components (such as BI Publisher, as we're replacing Actuate at this point) and doing as much 'zero impact' work as possible. This will be an outage weekend, where we take 7.8 offline to do any work and bring it all back up at the end. The second phase would be the database upgrade, SRF, repository and non-repository element deployment, along with bringing up the 8.1 system.
    I have a few obvious thoughts, such as installing Gateway and Server components on machines already running 7.8 versions. CFG and siebns settings should be kept distinct in different installation folders, but does Siebel store anything in the registry? I'm also aware that the Gateway and Component ports will be the same / conflicting, but this shouldn't be a problem if only one set of services are running at any given time.
    I'm also concerned that we cannot do the Gateway and Server installation and config without having an 8.1 database already in place. Is that the case? If not, I'm hoping we can get the installations and component group allocation and configuration done without affecting the 7.8 service. We can then take full server backups and be ready to 'just' do a database upgrade on the second cutover date.
    Anyway, I'd really appreciate any thoughts or experiences that you all may have or have had on such a plan.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    From your message, I understand that you have 8 siebel servers and 2 for oracle database (Correct me if I am wrong). For the production environment you will need to remove all siebel components from at least one system each for gateway, siebel server and webserver. Do ensure that your database is properly backed up before proceeding with a db upgrade.
    Do note that removing one server each will be hitting your application very hard and hence it will be great if you proceed only during a long weekend or sometime giving you a good time duration to do the upgrade and do the system checks also. Also I would suggest to do siebel install and oracle db upgrade in one go. Please consult your db admin for the best way forward in this.
    Once your 8.1 installation is running do the import of all the integration points that you have for the older system and then verify their functioning with your installation. Only when everything you need appears to be working as per the previous system, shut down the older system and remove existing Siebel components and do the necessary installations.
    You may like to see this site "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31104_02/books/SiebInstUNIX/SiebInstCOM_InstGateway3.html" , "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E05553_01/books/SiebInstUNIX/SiebInstCOM_InstSiebSrvr3.html" and "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E05553_01/books/SiebInstUNIX/SiebInstCOM_InstSWSE3.html" for pointers in case you are not comfortable removing siebel server components from your production environments.

    Hi Pepper, Malort, Robert and Brandon,

    files in $windows.~bt and c:\windows\setupact.log has a warning statement "Failed to change the UI language to en-US"
    The server is running as a vm and would otherwise appear to be running perfectly. It is a DC(GC), DHCP, DNS & CA for my site.
    Going to try System Update readiness Tool KB947821-v33.

    The testing that will be involved in this upgrade
    the risks involved in this upgrade

  • In-Place upgrade of 2008 R2 SP1 server to 2012 - 0x80070490

    I'm trying to upgrade one of our fileservers to 2012 from 2008 R2 SP1. It already failed once and I was
    forced to rollback to the previous version of Windows. Now, when I try I am continually getting the "Windows Setup cannot find a location to store temporary installation files. To install Windows, make sure that a partition on your boot disk has at least
    1198 megabytes of free space".
    The C drive has 55GB free, D drive 78GB free and E drive 255GB free.
    I've tried running the setup from the command line and using the /tempdrive:<drive> switch to specify
    the location the setup should place the temporary installation files but, no matter which drive I choose, I get the same error.
    The only other partition is the System Reserved partition which has less than the required space.  I
    had a look inside this partition (by adding a drive letter to it on a temporary basis) and there is a $WINDOWS.~BT folder which contains the temporary installation files.
    Is it safe to run a disk cleanup on the system reserved partition as I suspect that might allow the setup to run?

    Hi,
    You can perform a disk cleanup check first to see if any temp file will be listed. By default it will only list Recycle Bin in Disk Cleanup result.

    Really the proper method is to backup everything, format and install Server 2008 (are you limited to 32-bit?), restore data/reinstall software. What's the reasoning for the upgrade? 2003 EOL or something else?
    Do you have a guarantee that the software will even work on...

    Hello everyone. 
    We seem to be having an issue when doing an in place upgrade on our windows 2003 R2 server to go to Windows 2008. Every time we try and do the upgrade, once the server reboots it blue screens with no real information. Just mentioned to try and do a check disk to check for hard drive issues.
    It gives us the option to go the earlier version of windows (back to 2003 R2) but nothing we have tried has succeeded so far.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    the only note where we discussed our findings about in-place upgrades of the Windows operating system is SAP Note 1494740.
    Even though the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 is not discussed explicitly, the note is also valid for Windows Server 2012.
    The only thing you have to take care is: upgrade your system components (database, other 3rd party software) to versions supported on Windows Server 2012 before you are performing the in-place upgrade.

  • Cannot perform in-place upgrade from WS2012 to WS 2012 R2

    Trying to upgrade from
    Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 The following occurs:
    Copy install files to install directory on local system
    Click Setup.exe.
    UAC requires acceptance.
    Windows Server 2012 R2 appears.
    Click Install Now Button.
    Message: "Setup is copying temporary files."
    Message: "Setup is starting."
    Splash screen reappears.
    Cannot get beyond this to the wizard. Tried safe mode, tried from mounted ISO, tried from Install directory with setup files.
    No indication of error in any Windows logs.

    This issue was solved in another post here is the posted resolution:

              If I run the above command from Start-->Run I get the first      Windows Setup screen "Get important updates for Windows Setup. 
    Select No thanks, I'm prompted with the      operating system options, next, license terms, next, upgrade (selected) vs      clean install, next and then Windows Setup fails with message,
              "Windows Setup cannot locate a valid hard drive to store      temporary installation files.

         /targetlanguage:en-US /tempdrive:f
    Failure      message:

  • Cheapest way to upgrade from 10.6 (non-server) to 10.7 (server)

    I need to upgrade my MacPro from 10.6 (non-server) to 10.7 (server). I thought I could go to the App Store and pay $49.99 to do this, but it is saying that isn't possible. Do I need to upgrade to Lion first and then upgrade to Lion server? $80?
    I know this is still amazingly cheap, and was just wondering if there is a way to go from A to B for only $49.99.

    Do I need to upgrade to Lion first and then upgrade to Lion server? $80?
    Yes, that's correct.
