Install SSAS unattented Install on Windows 2012 Core edition

Dear People who can help.
We are trying to offer SSAS as a Self Service solution in our company. this without giving the user SYSADMIN rights.
When we install this in a vmware environment or on a brick it does not start up SSAS. When we install it on a server with a gui it just work. Does any one know how to solve this problem in Windows 2012 Core edition without a gui?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi Michael,
According to your description, when you install the SSAS without GUI, it doesn't start up SSAS. Right?
When we install SQL Server via command line, we have the many installation parameters for Analysis Services. There's one parameter "/ASSVCSTARTUPTYPE" which specifies the startup mode for the Analysis Services service. You
should set it Automatic when do the unattended installation. Also you can start the SQL Server Analysis Services service manually via command line:
net start "SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)"

Error while Installing R12.1.1 on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition

Dear All,
I am installing R12.1.1 on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Server. I am using the media source that i have downloaded from Oracle Edelivery. I have done a MD5Sum check on the dowloaded files based the MD5SUM Check details given in site. (Not after staging).
I have the stage files in the same partition as the partition in which the OS & Oracle is being installed (Free space is 300GB after staging)
When the Installation reaches 53%, the installation fails with the following Error: "RW-50004: Error code received when running external process. Check log file for details. Running APPL_TOP Install Driver for VIS Instance"

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
"No Technical Support
Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
and
"THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.

Hi Sprabhune,
It should work.
Did you install the tool by GUI or cmd?
Please select "Automatically install Windows Server roles and features that are required to install Exchange Server" to have the Setup wizard install required Windows prerequisites.
If possible, please try to install the tool on Windows 7/8 client to test.

Install Exchange 2010 Sp3 on Windows 2012 R2

Dear All,
From Microsoft Exchange support matrix, I can tell that Exchange 2010 Sp3 is not listed on supported page. However when I run the setup, the prerequisite setup check, dose not list any warnings or issues with the setup, all check are green. Is it possible
that the support OS matrix has not been updated? Is Exchange 2010 Sp3 supported on Windows 2012 R2?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/09/17/exchange-support-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Thank you

The prerequisite check is checking that the required Windows components are installed. Exchange 2010 is still not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Install sharepoint 2013 demo on windows 2012 r2 essentials

Am configuring my laptop for demo so installing windows 2012 r2 essentials (which requires to be the DC). I know SharePoint 2013 server is not recommended to be installed on the DC. I have seen the Workflow 2013 is not supported on the DC but
still can work with the 2010 workflow. any other SharePoint 2013 features are not available on the DC ? From the SQL Server perspective this will only be a security issue the way I see, but am using this laptop for demo/test only.

HI,As you said,SharePoint 2013 does not support installation on to a domain controller. A single label domain (SLD) names or single label forests is also not supported. Because the use of SLD names is not a recommended practice, . Therefore, there may be
incompatibility issues when SharePoint 2013 are implemented in a single label domain environment.Apart from this no issues.you can find the detailed installation of sharepoint 2013 in below.

you can find the details on latest patches in the same site.

Get the SharePoint 2013 w/ SP1 ISO from the MSDN or VLSC (or Download Center if using SharePoint Foundation 2013) -- this is required for Windows Server 2012 R2, other media will not work. Follow the standard SharePoint install process, e.g. run the pre-req
installer, and then install SharePoint.
Once completed, install the appropriate version of SP1 for your product. See http://thesharepointfarm.com/2015/04/list-of-good-sharepoint-2013-service-pack-1-packages/
for a list of packages.

Installing SharePoint 2013 in a Windows 2012 R2 Server I was getting the following error

when I install prerequisiteinstaller.exe in sharepoint 2013, got the below error:
Error: The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role.
Any expert please help?

Hi,
From your description, I know you get error when you install SharePoint 2013 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
If you have tried all method above. In your case, you have installed the Web Server(IIS), but the
Web Server (IIS) role installation may fail. You could try run commande: aspnet_regii -enable –i.
Here are similar issues:

Installing SharePoint 2013 with SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition

Hi,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Developer edition with SharePoint 2013? One thing that came to my mind was setting max degree of parallelism, is that supported in Developer edition? Looking forward to your assistance here.
Thanks,
kashif

I'm slightly incorrect. See http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/4/A/64A1EC8F-F575-41E1-9D34-821FA9F98F8E/SQL_Server_2012_Licensing_Reference_Guide.pdf.
Licensing SQL Server for Non-production Use
The SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition is a full-function version of the SQL Server software—with all the
features and capabilities of the Enterprise edition—licensed under the Developer Tools model, which is a “per
user” model. One license is required for each person that accesses or uses the software.
When using SQL Server software for development, test or demonstration purposes, only the users are licensed
and there is no need for a corresponding license for the actual server systems running SQL Server software in
this case.
As long as only licensed users have access to the software, customers can install as many copies of the software
on any number of servers that are used exclusively for development, test or demonstration purposes. This
is significant, because it allows customers to run the software on multiple devices (for testing purposes, for
example) without having to license each non-production server system.
But no, as you can see above, you'll have no issues with the software (Developer Edition is Enterprise Edition with licensing restrictions, but no functionality restrictions).

Enabling remote desktop access to a simple windows 2012 datacenter edition server

Hi,
I am a complete noob to server administration. I installed a windows 2012 server initially as a workgroup. All i need is to enable a user to remotely access my server(using remote desktop). The firewall that I use is Gibraltar.
I read that to enable remote desktop services my server has to be part of a domain. So i promoted my server to a domain name controller. Using active directoty I added a user to the domain. I also read that to make remote desktop more secure, I have to request
the user to login through a VPN.
Now here is where I am completely lost. Do i really need to move my server to a domain, if the user just wants access to this server and nothing else? Should i restrict remote desktop access only through VPN
and if so, how can i do that? Further, the server dashboard gives me notifications about 'remote desktop licensing' not configured. We got the software as a campus licensing and I am not sure how to configure the remote license server. Any opinions are highly
appreciated.

If you're just trying to setup this to allow administration access then I don't believe you need it to be a member of a domain. There's a difference between allowing remote desktop access for administration, and setting up full terminal services access for
multiple users. The latter requires a lot more work and licensing unlike the former.
To simply allow admin access, open an explorer window and right click on Computer, then select properties. In the System window that appears, click Remote settings on the left. Now in the bottom half of the window select "Allow remote connections to this
computer" and leave the option requiring NLA in place. Click Select Users..., you'll see that the administrator user already has permissions to connect, so if you're only planning to connect with that then you're finished, otherwise find those users you
want to grant access.

MSDTC on Windows 2012 Standards edition

Hello Friends,
We have migrated our Prod server to Windows server 2012 Standards editions.
and enabled MSDTC but still getting below error
Error :-
1. The
MSDTC transaction manager was unable to pull the transaction from the source transaction manager due to communication problems. Possible causes are: a firewall is present and it doesn't have an exception for the MSDTC process, the two machines cannot find
each other by their NetBIOS names, or the support for network transactions is not enabled for one of the two transaction managers. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D02B)
2. The
partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D025)
we have enabled MSDTC and restarted the server but it not working.
can you please help me.

Set also the Option "Enable XA Transactions"; a restart is not required. Click on "Learn more about setting these properties" to get the info about it:
Security Settings — Enable XA Transactions check box:
Select this check box to allow transactions that use the XA standard.
Resource managers that run on different operating systems can communicate with a
DTC transaction manager by using the XA standard.
XA interfaces are a standard set of programming interfaces that allow COM+
application developers to access XA-compliant databases and create resource
managers that operate with relational databases, message queuing, transactional
files, and object-oriented databases. Although Microsoft does not directly
support the XA protocol, Microsoft does support translation facilities between
OLE Transactions and XA.

Trying to install and configure RRAS in WIndows 2012 Server R2 but cannot

I just installed Windows Server 2012 R2 standard and trying to install RRAS.
Following these steps:
To install RRAS
Perform one of the following two steps to start the Add Roles Wizard:
Start Server Manager. In the main window, under Roles Summary, click
Add roles.
In the Initial Configuration Tasks window that appears when you first log on, under
Customize This Server, click Add roles.
On the Before You Begin page, click Next.
Note
This page does not appear if you previously selected Skip this page by default.
On the Select Server Roles page, select Network Policy and Access Services, and then click
Next twice.
On the Select Role Services page, select Routing and Remote Access Services.
Once I get to step 4 I do not see Routing and Remote Access listed under role services. Any idea why this is?
Thanks,
Craig

Hello,
please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ubn5fkXZq8
And use "Remote Access" instead "Network Policy and Access Services".

Hyper-V on Windows Server Core

Hi, Im new to the Windows Server 2012 Core edition. But I have found out that I can install Hyper-v on a Windows Server Core edition.
I guess its possible to run Core edition with Hyper-V installed on a laptop. But can I run the VM´s with GUI directly on the Core edition or do I need another computer to manage the VM´s with GUI installed on the hyper-v host?

It's recommended to remove the GUI from your Windows 2012 R2 server that you intend to use as a Hyper-V host. It should have the Hyper-V and related roles only such as iSCSI initiator and MPIO. Management should be done from a Windows 8.1 VM with RSAT
tools installed. This can be a VM on the same Hyper-V host or another one, or a physical machine. The Hyper-V hosts and Windows 8.1 machine should belong to the same Windows domain.
The GUI can be added and removed as any other role on Windows 2012 R2 server.
See this post for more details.
