In-place Upgrade Server 2012 to R2 running DFS-N and DFS-R roles
Hello,
I have 2 servers running DFS-R and DFS-N running Windows Server 2012. I am planning to do an in-place upgrade to 2012 R2. Is this supported?

Hi Irfan,
Yes, you can upgrade Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2 to deploy a later version of DFSR. DFSR must be recreated for that server and perhaps for the entire Replication Group depending on the server’s place in data origination.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

Trying to upgrade server 2012 with RDS role on it, to server 2012 R2.
It stays for a while on step "Collecting files, settings, and applications 0%"
and then returns the error:
Error upgrading: Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted, try getting the latest update
Installed all the latest updates, rebooted, also tried to to run setup with local admin, still the same.
Setup logs contain user profile related errors:

Setup gets all the way through, and it says Getting ready, followed immediately by an error saying: Setup can't continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored.
I am attempting to install:
Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (Server with GUI)
x64 Date modified 3/18/2014
I have found several posts, many discussing how disk space can be an issue, I have increased disk space so it shouldn't be an issue. I have also made sure the only only partition on disk 0 is C: and system reserved.
I have disabled all unessential services and went through and removed all unessential applications, and extras. Still getting the error.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this, or further troubleshoot?I also had this error: "Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored."
trying to do a in-place upgrade of a Domain Controller Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2.
The problem was the separated System Reserved Partition. After I removed using this instructions:
http://jacobackerman.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-remove-system-reserved-partition.html
The upgrade ran ok, and now have my DC as Windows 2012 R2.
Hope that helps!. -
As we all know,
the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
Get-WindowsFeature
PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
Figure 1.
Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
(1) In an existing domain environment
Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
Figure 4.
After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
Server Essentials:
Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
Note: The type of
Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
Figure 5.
Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
Figure 7.
By the way, you can use
Get-WssConfigurationStatus
PowerShell cmdlet to
get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
Figure 8.
(2) In a non-domain environment
Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
Figure 9.
After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
Figure 12.
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
In an existing domain environment
In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
-ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
Figure 13.
After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
Figure 14.
After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
Figure 15.
Next, please use the
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
Figure 16.
Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
Figure 17.
After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
Figure 18.
After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
Figure 19.
2. In a non-domain environment
In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
below:
Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
Server2: 192.168.1.53
Run
Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
Figure 20.
Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
to
add the TrustedHosts entry:
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
(Figure 21)
Figure 21.
Next, we can use
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
Figure 22.
After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
Figure 23.
From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
Figure 24.
Then you can use
Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
Figure
25.
Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
Figure 26.

In place upgrade - server 2008r2 sp1 standard to server 2012 standard
I run setup from the CD. Choose upgrade. and then get the following from Windows Compatibility Report.
<message xmlns="">Before continuing, make sure the app vendors support your applications on Windows Server 2012. Follow their specific recommendations before and after Windows installs. To make
sure your app is compatible and to download tools and documentation, go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243105
Important: If the software isn't compatible with Windows Server 2012 or if the app vendor doesn't support the app, uninstall it before you install Windows. If you don't uninstall the applications, your system won't be supported, the app might not work, and
settings or other information might be lost. </message>
<message xmlns="">Windows won't install unless each of these things is taken care of. Close Windows Setup, take care of each one, and then restart Windows Setup to continue. </message>
<complianceissuepri1 xmlns="">An error prevented a required compliance check from completing. Cancel the installation and try upgrading again. </complianceissuepri1>
How can I find what's failing the compliance check?
Thanks,
BrandonWow. Just wow. I spent like 2 hours looking for this, VERY few suggestions on Google, and I finally found this post and had to look at that tiny text. Sure enough, I give that partition a drive letter and the compatibility check passes.
This is the third server I've done, and the first one to have any goofy issue like that...and I'm sure I'll never be able to explain it.
Thank you TREMENDOUSLY for posting it though! -
Server 2012 fresh install - Running at a crawl. Possible hardware issue?
Hello All,
I have recently purchased a used server and just fresh installed Server 2012 to evaluate it, and I am experiencing a issue with it running very slow. So far nothing has been setup or installed besides the OS, hard drives, and a external usb drive,
so it is pushing me to believe my issue is hardware related.
First let me describe the issue more. Basically everything is slow to load. Control panel takes 20 seconds... trying to load disk management and other snap in from administrative tools all take 15-20secs+ and first come up in
a greyed out window or the administrative tools window goes to "Not Responding" for a few seconds then loads it.
I do not think it is due to the fact the server is used with slightly dated hardware as it has Dual Quad-Core 2.66 Xeons & 16gb ECC Ram, so I was thinking their must be a bad piece of hardware in there? Maybe bad ram?
Anyway I plan to start hardware diagnostics, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any insight or suggestions for me. And to verify if this sounds like a hardware issue to you as well.
Thanks!Windows 2008 R2 that is on top of the list of supported operating systems. It is a good choice for some testing with M350 G5. Then you can test the in-place upgrade and application compatibility test will tell you, which component makes the problem.
If for example onboard NIC is not compatible, then you can use another NIC card that is compatible. When it is RAID controller (very often), then either use another RAID or single HDD (it is test only, not for production environment).
You can explore the virtualization path. Get know if appropriate hypervisor from VMvare is compatible with this hardware is also compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2. VMware forum may answer your question on virtualization. Working in virtual environment
will provide some experience too.
Majority of current desktop equipment allows you for testing Windows Server 2012 R2. There are some exceptions, namely "high end game machines" that make you to find remedy for drivers (example
MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z - here is a need to adapt inf file for NIC, because of there is low end NIC on motherboard.)
For low performance issues use native tools like Performace Monitor and diagnostics - Event logs and Device Manager. For detailed analysis consider Sysinternals tools.

2008 R2 Certificate Authority In Place Upgrade to 2012 R2
Hello,
I've been reviewing all the MS Documentation on CA Migrations, but none cover In-Place upgrades. No documentation against the idea either.
We have a single Root CA running 2008 R2, I would like to upgrade to 2012 R2 in place.
Is that possible?
Not recommended?
Do I need to update to 2008 R2 w/SP1 first?
Or is it just better to Migrate to new installed 2012 R2 server?
Thanks, Tony

Upgrading Server 2012 Datacenter to 2012 Datacenter R2
I couldn't get a proper answer to my question off google which is why i posted it here, hoping for others with more knowledge to give me a hand.
I currently work at a primary school and we have 2 physical servers running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. We have 3 virtual machines on each physical server which are all 2012 Datacenter too.
What i wanted to know is, if i upgraded the physical machines to 2012 datacenter R2 will it affect the virtual machines in anyway and will i lose any data on the physical machines? The main reason for upgrading is due to the AVMA as it wont allow me to do
this on the normal 2012 Datacenter version.
Any help would be much appreciated.
HasanHi Christophe,
Thanks for replying. Only one virtual machine, our Domain controller is part of a hyper-v cluster. The other 4 are not.
I'm guessing that it would be easier, as your post states to do one server at a time while moving the virtual machines onto the second one?
Also what option out of the three should i select after i click on the move option and specify the second server?
Move the virtual machines data to a single location
Move the virtual machines data by selecting where to move the items
Move only the virtual machine.
I know this maybe a simple choice for some, but i have never done this before and i dont want to mess anything up.

Is it possible to upgrade Server 2012 Evaluation to Server 2012 R2 Evaluation?
I ask this because I accidentally installed Server 2012 (non R2) Evaluation and I already bought the key for Server 2012 R2 Standard. Is there anyway I can somehow perform the upgrade from Server 2012 Evaluation to Server 2012 R2 Evaluation and then add
the license key? Or worst case, maybe I can downgrade or swap my Server 2012 R2 license key for a Server 2012 one? I'd rather upgrade to Server 2012 R2 but my priority is to avoid a reinstall.The downgrade might be possible. Read on here.

RDS 2012 in-place upgrade to 2012 R2
Hello,
we have RDS deployment which consists of three 2012 servers:
connection broker/licensing server
web access/gateway server
session host server
Planning to upgrade to 2012 R2, does the order in which to upgrade servers matter? Or can I start from whichever server I see fit?I upgraded RDCB/Licencing server first, then Web Access/Gateway server. My RDSH upgrade failed, but deployment seems to work with two 2012 R2 servers and RDSH 2012. Also added a second RDSH server (2012 R2), to replace 2012 which was failing to upgrade.

Virtual RAID Array Migration to Windows Server 2012 R2 Disk offline, Degraded, Detached and split
My Residential server is used as a file and web server, however i also use it for learning so it has grown slow over the last couple of years, i now need to get it working ready for when i go to UNI. I have upgraded from windows server 2012 Standard to windows
server 2012r2 standard, i am on the same server, but have put a SSD as my primary drive(so i still have the old hard drive and can go back to that to get my data)
I have also done a BIOS update, so the logical disks (a 2TB RAID 1 with all my important documents) are not showing up on the RAID Configuration in the BIOS.
By changing settings i have managed to get the array to show up on server manager > File and storage services>Volumes>Storage Pools. however there are a number of exclamation marks shown next to the drive(s)
I read in a Technet
Article that i should "set
the storage pool to read-write "
I did this and then in the storage pool box at the top the exclamation mark says "Warning: Degraded".
In the Virtual Disks box (bottom left) the exclamation mark says "Unknown: Detached" and in the Physical Disks box (bottom right) it says "Warning Split" on the second disk.
I have disconnected all other Hard drives, however if i can't get my documents back will have to go back to windows server 2012. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Michael BoothHi,
It seems that the second disk is failed, you need to add a new disk to the storage pool to replace the failed disk.

I work for a university and teach IT courses to undergrad and graduate students. The details below are pertaining an isolated lab environment
I had a storage failure in my lab and the DCs became corrupt. This is a university lab environment so there isn't anything crucial on here. I just would rather avoid rebuilding the domain/forest and would rather use this as a learning experience with my
students...
So after the storage failed and was restored, the VMs hosted became corrupt. I did a NTDSUTIL to basically repair the NDTS.dit file but one of my DCs reverted to a state before DC promotion. Naturally, the domain still had this object in AD. After numerous
failed attempts at trying to reinstall the DC on the server through the server manager wizard in 2012 R2, I decided that a metadata cleanup of the old failed object was necessary.
Utilizing this article, I removed all references of the failed DC from both AD and DNS (http://www.petri.com/delete_failed_dcs_from_ad.htm)
So now that the failed object is removed completely from the domain and the metadata cleanup was successful, I then proceeded to re-install the necessary AD DS role on the server and re-promote to the existing domain. Pre-Requisites pass but generate some
warning around DNS Delgation, and Dynamic Updates (delegation is ignored because the lab is isolated from external comms, and dynamic updates are in fact enabled on both my _msdcs and root domain zones).
Upon the promotion process, I get the following error message (also worth mentioning - the account performing these operations is a member of DA, EA, and Schema Admins)
The operation failed because:
Active Directory Domain Services could not create the NTDS Settings object for this Active Directory Domain Controller CN=NTDS Settings,CN=domainVMDC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-
First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=school,DC=edu on the remote AD DC domainVMDC2. Ensure the provided network credentials have sufficient permissions.
"While processing a change to the DNS Host Name for an object, the Service Principal Name values could not be kept in sync."
As you can see, this error seems odd considering. Now that I'm down to a single DC and DNS server, the sync should be corrected. I've run a repadmin /syncall and it completed successfully. Since then, I've run dcdiags and dumped those to a text as well and
here are my results...

From what I can gather, there is a definite DNS issue but I don't have any stale records to the old DC stored anywhere. I've tried this with a new server as well and get similar errors...
At this rate I'm ready to rebuild the entire forest over again. I'm just reluctant to do so as I want to make this a learning experience for the students.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!As you can see, there seems to be some errors. The one that I did correct was the one around the _msdcs NS record being unable to resolve. For whatever, reason the name wasn't resolving the IP but all other NS tabs and records were. Just that one _msdcs
sub-zone. Furthermore, the mentioning of any connections to root hint servers can be viewed as false positives. There is no external comms to this lab so no communication with outside IPs can be expected. Lastly, they mentioned a connectivity issue yet mention
that I should check the firewall settings. All three profiles are disabled in Windows Firewall (as they have been the entire time). Thank you in advance for your help!

Windows Server 2012 HyperV VMs becoming extremely sluggish and slow
I have recently set up a new system for a client consisting of a single Dell T320 server with Xeon E5-2350 2.2GHz 6 core cPU and 32GB of RAM. Windows Server 2012 Standard is installed on the bare metal, and runs only the HyperV role. It is not
joined to any domains.
It hosts two VMs, one a Windows Server 2012 Standard VM containing the RDS related roles acting as remote desktop server, with 10GB RAM allocated and 3 cores. Only 5 people use the terminal server concurrently.
The second VM is a Windows Server 2008 R2 based primary domain controller, with 16GB of RAM allocated and 3 cores. It runs the AD role, as well as Exchange and GFI MailEssentials 2012. Avira is also installed on this VM.
The problem is that the system will function properly for 3-4 days, then suddenly it goes into a state where a multitude of applications would start consuming inordinate amount of CPU time, and become very, very slow. Almost like the hypervisor goes
into a software emulation mode where everything runs like molasses. This affects BOTH VMs equally. For example, Exchange and GFI on the Windows 2008 R2 VM together consume about 25% CPU, most of it is spent in kernel CPU time. At the same
time, in the other Windows Server 2012 VM, svchost, Taskmgr, WMIPrvSE, LogonUI, Explorer, sqlservr, wsmprovhost etc. will all consume a total of about 70% CPU time, this time 99% of this is user time, not kernel time. When one user starts any application,
be that internet explorer, firefox or TaxPrep, the CPU spikes up to 100%.
All while nobody is using the system, the system is idle and no mails are flowing in or out of the system. A reboot of the VMs does not fix anything, even a reboot of the host server does not fix anything. When I yanked out the two power supplies
and performed a hardware diagnostic (which came back 100% OK), it booted up and the slowness was gone for 3 days, until today when it started acting up again like I described above.
One more thing, when the system behaves normally the sunspider javascript benchmark in IE10 takes 316ms to execute (average) on the HyperV host operating system. When the system goes slow like this, I pause the two VMs in HyperV then run sunspider
again, only to be greeted by an average time of 5084ms. So this clearly does not only affect the virtual machines but the host operating system as well. My gut still tells me the hypervisor is getting messed up somehow.
Any ideas? This is a major problem and I have no idea what is causing it.We have had the EXACT same thing happen with a Dell T320 on two separate servers. The first one was running SQL Server 2008 with nothing else funny going on. It ran fine for a month or so, then it developed this slowness issue. We finally installed SQL on
a loaner box (without Hyper-V) and it worked fine. We brought the T320 back to our shop and tested the hell out of it with Dell's assistance and it was NTF. Took it back onsite and moved an SBS 2011 VM over to it. After a few days, it ground to a halt. CPU
utilization was 100%. I started shedding services, killing Exchange, Sharepoint, etc. Even stripped to the essentials, the CPU was still up in the 60-70% range.
I put a T310 out onsite and downed the guest SBS vm. I copied the HUGE vhd over to the T310 (running Server 2008r2 with the Hyper-V role) and it ran perfectly. CPU at about 2-4%, spiking to 15% occasionally.
We finally concocted a story that the USB controller was bad, so they replaced the motherboard (not the CPUs) and it all seems to be working OK now after we sunk at least 100 man-hours into the problem.
Our second one is a similar setup. T320, Server 2012, Hyper-V role, SBS 2011 Standard and a couple of member servers running basic apps. No one can find any problem and everyone acts like this is something new, although my posting comes one year after Tim's
original posting.
