KB2852386 on Server 2008 R2 Core?

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2014/05/13/how-to-clean-up-the-winsxs-directory-and-free-up-disk-space-on-windows-server-2008-r2-with-new-update.aspx
Found that recently and was like, yay, finally, can clean up Winsxs on the dozen or so license VMs with tiny hard drives... but, running into a snag.  I'm trying to install the Windows6.1-KB2852386-v2-x64.msu I downloaded from here, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2852386/en-us,
but it won't run.  It keeps saying "The update is not applicable to your computer."  
The server is running Windows Server Core 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1.  I assume this is not working because it is Server Core and so it does not have the Desktop Experience feature.  Is there a workaround?

Hi Brian_NCSUECE,

  • Connecting to an external SSAS cube in SSDT 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core

    Good Evening,
    We are experiencing issues when executing an SSIS package from a SQL Server job. However, when we execute the package locally, it is
    successful. The package connects to an external SSAS cube using MDX. I have attached the error message below. The connection manager is OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 11.0. We can successfully ping the external site where the cube is located from the
    server with the job.
    We are using Windows Server 2008 R2 Core. We are trying to access an external cube through HTTPS by sending a username/password in the connection string. This is sent through an OLE DB connection in SSIS. I found an article which says that "Because
    there is no Web browser, you cannot activate a Server Core installation or access the Internet through a firewall that requires users to log on." Does anyone have any additional details on this...is this a futile effort?
    Thanks - Brett

    Hi Brett,
    According to your description, you are experiencing the error when you connect to SQL Server Analysis Services database on a SSIS package, right?
    In your scenario, you said that the package can be executed successfully on your local environment, the issue only occurs on the SSAS server. So please ensure that the provider was installed on the server. Besides, here is a blog which describe how
    to configure the Analysis Services Processing Task in SQL Server 2012 Integration Services， please refer to the link below to see the details.

  • Only 2 ports in a quad port NIC are working - HP NC365T - Proliant DL380 G7 - Server 2008 R2 Core

    Hi All,
    Scenario:
    I've got a HP DL380 G7 running Windows Server 2008 R2 Core. I added an additional NIC which is supported on this platform (HP NC365T) but only 2 of the ports showed as being live. No link lights or anything on ports 2 and 3. 1 and 4 worked just fine. I was
    using the latest drivers from the HP site, also rolled back to the previous ones but had the same issue. HP provided me with a replacement to test with but that exhibited the same issue.
    Fix:
    This NIC uses the Intel 82580 controller. Just download the drivers for that from the Intel website.
    Here's a link to the Intel drivers
    Conclusion:
    I had a call open with HP for days. They struggled to fix it and suggested it was an OS issue. Always go for the manufacturer drivers if you're having issues!
    Cheers!
    James

    Hi，
    Did you mean that the issue had been solved by install the compatible Intel drivers? If yes, good to hear that and thanks for sharing.

  • SQL server 2008 R2 Core License

    Hi,
    We have purchased 2 core licence, our admin has installed SQL server Database engine and the client components in one server and installed the client tools in another server.
    when we install a database engine we have consumed one core license.
    since we installed the client tools in another server did we loose the another core license or still we can consume the second core license.
    I understand from the below document link, the client tools are free.
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/D/4/3D42BDC2-6725-4B29-B75A-A5B04179958B/PerCoreLicensing_Definitions_VLBrief.pdf
    we had this confusion since when we tried to install the client tools we still had to provide the product key.
    can you pls. help us to understand. if we install only client tools on different machines will we loose that number of core license.
    Thanks,
    Jidesh

    See the Licensing Guide for the answers to all your questions:
    "When running SQL Server in a physical OSE, all physical cores on the server must be licensed. "
    "To license individual VMs using the Per Core model, customers must purchase a core license for each v-core (or virtual processor, virtual CPU, virtual thread) allocated to the VM, subject to a
    four core license minimum per VM."
    "Management tools and other software identified as additional or supplemental software such as product can generally be distributed and run on any number of devices for use with a licensed instance of SQL Server software."

    Hi Xiaojin,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN.
    I don't think this is a bug. From your description, you want to install VC redist on some servers core for Windows Server 2008, 2012. Based on my knowledge, server core has no graphical user interface (GUI), there is no desktop. Only code written using Windows
    application programming interfaces (APIs) can run on Server Core.
    More information about server core please refer to here:

  • [Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

    We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
    Analysis
    Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
    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
    You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
    1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
    1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
    2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
    We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
    After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
    Method 1: Using Server Manager
    1) Open Server Manager, click
    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)
    Figure 7.

  • Configuring SNMP on Windows Server 2008 Core

    Hi,
    I'd like to apologize for my english (i'm a french student).
    I'm starting to use Windows server 2008 Core and i have one problem with snmp service.
    I installed it but when i want to configure it in a mmc (remotely on a vista), i haven't any tab (Agent, Trap, Security).
    Many thanks.
    Damien.

    Hi,
    Please use the following procedure which i have written.
    How to fix SNMP in windows 2008 r2 core (Hyper-V)
    See the list of features.
    Dism /online /get-features /format:table
    Now you can install for the SNMP Service:
    Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:SNMP-SC
    Usually in GUI (Windows 2008) you can add public string and values through ‘services’ (security tab) in Server Manager but in core version sometimes it doesn’t give you ‘security’ tab option.
    The work around is to add that string manually in regedit.
    Run ‘regedit’ from the command prompt and go the following folder.
    # HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters
    In my case I have installed Dell Openmanage essentials on a Windows 2008 R2 (GUI) system so I created a string in the folder ‘PermittedManagers’ under Parameters folder.
    Value name =1
    Value data = Server IP (Monitoring – Dell openmanage)
    To assign public string we need to create a DWORD (32 bit) Value in the folder ‘ValidCommunities’
    Value name = public
    Value data = 4
    That’s it.
    To check that I am using Dell Troubleshooting tool 
    Regards,

  • Silverlight: 2 - WSUS - Windows Server 2008 Core

    2 Months ago I reported that Silverlight was being offered by WSUS for Server Core and on the 15th of this month I added a comment to the same thread to ensure that this would not be the case when Silverlight 2 KB 957938 gets pushed through WSUS.
    Surprise! (Or not :P) - Silverlight 2 is being offered by WSUS to Server 2008 Core.
    And what the following the statement in KB957938 means is anyone's guess:-
    Silverlight 2 contains an auto-updating mechanism. By default, this mechanism is disabled in the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) package.
    Cheers,
    Stephen Edgar

    Thanks Andrew,
    I lay the blame directly with the WSUS team as it is more than just the Silverlight team, I see 'many' issues with WSUS be it Exchange Server, SQL, Visual Studio, Windows Live and many other updates that simply fail any form of QA process and are deployed to WSUS without proper testing. It typically is language specific, i.e. only 'English Updates' that can blow out from 60MB to 1.3GB and the fact that Silverlight is still being thrown to Server Core as an update is sad that the WSUS team have not worked out a solution for this, some may call this a bug, some may say it is a slight oversight, I say it is a lack of Quality Assurance Testing on Microsoft's part.
    With Silverlight 3 just announced at MIX09 the issue now will be when Silverlight 3 first gets published to WSUS if the products it applies to actually fixes this issue and does not report that it is needed for 'Server Core' then the previous Silverlight 2 updates will NOT be superseeded by this update for Server Core and Server Core will continue to report that it needs the Silverlight 2 updates until an update to WSUS is released that 'supersedes' the Silverlight 2 update requirements for Server Core.
    So the WSUS team need to release a hotfix for the WSUS, Server Core and Silverlight issue in advance to even thinking about publishing Silverlight 3 to WSUS otherwise Server Core will continue wanting the SL2 updates OR it will report that Server Core needs the SL3 update.Cheers,
    Stephen Edgar

  • How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

    How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
    I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems.  When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell.  I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box.  During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations.  There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb.  After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
    I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation.  I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine.  BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true.  Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box.  After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging.  Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
    From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer.  The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe!  By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost.  Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded.  At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation. 
    PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Back Up SBS
    It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes.  Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason.  Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone.  You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore.  Here are the basic steps:
    Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.  Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
    Choose the “Custom” radio button.  What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
    Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others.  Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
    Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups.  You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images.  Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency.  Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
    Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product.  If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
    Confirm everything and click “Backup”.  This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
    Verify ISAPI Filters:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
    In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS.  If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
    IsapiFilterModule              %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
    IsapiModule                        %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
    If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
    Set Up Development Environment
    Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\).  For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
    Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory.  This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders. 
    Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane.  Expand the “Sites” folder.  Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
    Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”).  You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name.  NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
    Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
    Don’t worry about testing the connection.  If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV).  Don’t worry about this for the time being.
    Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”).  Click “OK”.
    Configure Application Pools for Installation
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”.  NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
    Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
    Do a search and change this one line from:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
    To this:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
    Restart the IIS Admin service.
    Set HTTP Compression
    According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
    Run the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
    This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
    Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Restart the IIS Admin service.  This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
    NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
    INSTALLATION TASKS
    Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
    Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
    Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
    If you have an Enterprise license, enter it.  For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
    Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
    I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”.  It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation.  My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
    Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
    THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.  Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button.  Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”.  Hit “OK”.
    Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”).  Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”).  The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
    Enter an Administrator password.
    Choose to Enable RDS, or not.  I enable this by preference but it is not required.  This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely.  Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
    Confirm everything to kick off the install.
    If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful.  I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install.  NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks.  The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
    POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Verify CF Installation:
    The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8.  The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory.  Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
    To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
    This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen.  Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
    Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
    Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
    At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly.  The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start.  Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time.  This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.).  There is no need to restart IIS.
    Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
    In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”).  In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”.  Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
    Lastly, jump up and down for joy!  Hopefully now, everything is working.  Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

    First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
    Second, this is probably your problem right here:
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
    In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
    As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

  • Mac Pro 2,8 QuadCore - MS Small Business Server 2008 Premium

    Hello,
    I want to do something little bit strange..
    Is it possible to install/run SBS 2008 Premium incl. SQL Server 2008 on a 2010 Mac Pro?
    I successfully installed this OS on a late 2009 Mac Mini (2,5 Ghz - 8 GB RAM - 200 GB SSD) and so far it works fine.. although I already installed it yesterday.
    But.. I want a little bit more performance, so I want to use the Mac Pro (16 GB RAM - SSD). The plan is to install the SBS 2008 on a Boot Camp Partition and use the Mac Pro only as a Windows Server.
    Does anybody have any experience with this?
    Thanks a lot and greetings from Hamburg, Germany
    Marco

    Hi,
    I just want to add what happened over the past few weeks.
    Everything is fine!
    Our SBS 2008 Server runs on a 2.8 Quad Core Mac Pro and everything seems to work correctly. What I didn't know before is that one can install an actual Windows-Version (not only Win7, but also SBS 2008) natively on a an 64-Bit Intel-Mac.
    I formatted the drive as MBR (MasterBoot Record) and then did the normal installation process. During the install process I had to install the Ethernet-Driver manually for finishing the overall installation. After that there's only the installation for the BootCamp drivers left, which is important to use the correct driver for the graphics card, Apple keyboard and mouse etc.
    Before that I've tested it with a 2009 MacMini and a Core i3 2010 iMac. And it worked, too. So, for the future I could only use Macs if I want to run Windows natively
    In addition to the MacPro SBS 2008, I installed Windows 7 (32-Bit) natively on a 20" white iMac 2006, another license on a 2008 MacMini and a third license on a 2010 Core i3 iMac.
    So far, everything is ok... love it

  • Cisco LMS 4.1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 R2, Databases not created

    Hi There,
    As always, I am trying to install LMS 4.1 on windows server 2008 R2 and after the installation and login to the LMS I find the following:
    DCRServer is down or may not be completely up. Check if the DCRServer process is running.
    And after some troubleshooting I found that the LMS is not creating the CMF database and the other databases. Attached is the installation log file, if someone could help me with it would be appreciated. Please note the following:
    1. I have downloaded the installation file from Cisco website twice, so I do not think it is the file that is corrupted, also it is only evaluation license.
    2. I have met all the prerequisites and requirement as in the documentation guides, but maybe there is something still wrong.
    Thanks,
