License for Windows Server Essentials
I am reviewing options for hosting several light websites and collaboration apps inside one Azure VM. I will have no more than 5 users. I need clarification on licensing of its Windows OS.
1. My VM in Azure has trial version of Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (from resized and uploaded VHD). Which license do I need in order to activate it?
2. If I want to use Windows 2012 Essentials in Azure for VM (not the datacenter edition with essentials experience) can I upload trial version and then activate it or I need to upload some other specific (license-bound non-trial) edition? Which license will
I need in this case?
3. For licensing from above questions do I need to have active directory or anything else at on-premise servers?
4. Later if for example I decide to leave Azure will I be able to download that VM and use same license at on-premise server machine or I will need another license?
5. Is there any better Windows edition that you wish to recommend and that will satisfy my needs?
hi,
Base on my experience, Windows Server are offered in the Azure image gallery include the Windows Server licensing cost, please see this page (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/).
If you used your upload image, Microsoft provides the Windows Server license keys for any running instances, Please above link FAQ sections. For your the forth question, if you download your Windows Server image running on Azure to on-premises, you will then
be required to supply a license for the image. Also, you could refer to this page (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/licensing-faq/#header-0 ).
By the way, about the VM server license, I suggest you could post this issue on azure VM forum for more details. And you could contact the azure support:

Volume License for Windows Server 2008 R2
Hi,
I have product key for activation of windows server 2008 R2. With this product key I can activate multiple machine (Don't know exact number).
I am using this product key to activate windows server 2008 R2 in virtual machine. Buy mistake I activated windows in unwanted virtual machine which will be deleted now. So now how I can deactivate this windows license in these machine so I can reduce number
of license usage count?
Jigneshhttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18715-activate-windows-7-phone.html
The above site will tell you how. When you get on the phone you will ask how many time you loaded the OS. It will reset you count to what you give them.

From english evaluation to dutch full licensed? (Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials)
Hello,
I've installed and evaluated Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials English.
This server edition works like a charm for my smaller projects.
I've been testing this version and I'm at 'Windows License valid for 159 days'.
Now I would like te use this setup for one of my projects, so I would like to transform this evaluation version to a full version.
I bought a full license of Windows Server 2012 R2 ESSENTIALS 1-2 CPU Dutch.
What is the best way to transform my current setup (Evalution - English) completely to a full license Dutch?
- I can buy an english version of this full version, but witch one? (It must be the correct language, because I tried changing the productkey of my evaluation english to the full dutch one, without succes)
- Install from scratch the full version and load a backup of the evalution edition? (Already tried this, this ends up running the english evaluation again)
- Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much!I think you would have to do a migration.
You should add another Domain Controller, transfer FSMO roles.
Remove the English Essentials Server, then install the Dutch one in Migration mode.
You can then remove that second DC.

The MS15-10 Security Update for Windows Server 2012/R2 Essentials and the Client Restore Functionality - The Windows Server Essentials and Small Business Server Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs:

FYIHi Susan. I hope there's a better 'fix' coming to replace this "uninstall the updates, restore, then reinstall the updates after the restore". This kind of workaround requires that all of us remember that there's a problem
with KB3023562 and KB3004375 from now until the end of WS2012E. Not sure I'll remember this 6 months from now when the problem crops up during a restore. -:(

Best practices for upgrading Windows Server Essentials 2012 to R2?
Hi,
I need to upgrade my Windows Server Essentials 2012 on an HP microserver to Essentials R2 (specifically the R2 role on Standard rather than as a VM). After a reasonable amount of searching, I haven't found anything online that specifically addresses this in-place
upgrade scenario. Since this is already an Essentials server, it's the PDC in its own domain, etc. Has anyone that's done this upgrade have any experiences or warnings to share?
Thanks,
SeanHello there,
There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2. R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build. Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server. This will require additional hardware. You
can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from, restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2. -
Windows Server Essentials error occurred while configuring on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

I am trying to connect Windows 7 Pro 64 bit SP1 Computers to a Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 domain and I receive the following error: "The server is not available. Try connecting to this computer again, or for more information, see Troubleshoot
connecting computers to the server." I have tried all of the steps in the Microsoft technet article "http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj635102.aspx" and still am receiving this error. A little background on this specific case...
All of these computers were already attached to a different Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 domain. They have all been taken off the existing domain and added to a workgroup. I have uninstalled the Server Essentials 2012 Connector and deleted
all log files. Has anyone else had this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is an urgent issue... Thanks in advance all!Would you be willing to run this script on your server?
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Windows-Server-Essentials-556159c3
Also on a client to test connectivity?

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)

Installing terminal server role on windows server 2012 to use for Windows server 2008 R2 machines.
Dear
Our current setup is as follows :-
Active Driectory is in Windows Server 2003.
Citrix Xenapp version 5.6 with all Xenapp servers in Windows Server 2003
Now we are upgrading our Citrix farm to 6.5 and all Xen app servers into Windows Server 2008R2.
We did the configuration and testing; everything works fine except the terminal server is not configured which gives the pop always for the expiry date.
We do have license for 2012 terminal server which is not possible to downgrade for some reason and managent need to install new Windows Server 2012 for terminal server and activte the licenses.
My question is :-
1 Whether Windows Server 2008 R2 will get RDS cal license from Windows Server 2012 terminal server (RDS CAL license is of windows server 2012).
2. What is the role and features I need to activate in Server 2012 in order to use for Citrix 6.5 (only applicable fetaure for getting the RDS cal license.)
3. Whether I can add this 2012 server into domain. Is it possible to add 2012 server into Windows Server 2003 AD.
Your early reply is highly appreciated.Thanks Jeremy..
I got exactly the right answers I am lookoing for ..
I successfully activated the terminal service on the newly created Windows 2012 Server and installed the retail license pack we had of 50+50+25 keys . It later shows the 125 keys successfully applied.
when I tried to link the Xenapp (Windows Server2008R2) to the license server, it first gives me error that session host service role is not installed on the ternial server. So I installed that role also in the terminal server.
But now its anothee error as below.
RDS Cals are not available for this Remote Desktop Session host server, and licensing Diagnostic has identified licensing problems for the RD session host server.
1. Is it wrong I did by installing session host server role into the terminal server (but really it gave me error like 'session host server role is not running on the license server' when I tried to link the license server).
2. Is it the problem that Windows Server 2008 R2 will not get license from 2012 RDS CAL license.
3. whether Clearing house will take time to update the license.
Your reply is highly appreciated. I need to know whether any other way I can link the Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers (Xenapp) to the license server. -
Windows Server Essentials Connector issue
I cannot get the computer connector program to complete successfully. Had to add my 6 Pcs manually through the Properties screen on the PCs. As a result, Computers are not listed on the Anywhere Access screen and no-one can remote into their PC.
I have both, a self-signed certificate for the servername.domainname.local and a purchased certificate for the public domain on the server.

I have Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essentials Role installed. I have integrated server with Azure AD, Office 365 and Intune using the Essentials Dashboard integration tools.
I can see that Windows Server Essentials Storage Service and Windows Server Essentials Email Service are eating much of server memory. What are these services for and why they use a lot of memory? Specially I am wondering about the Email Service. What is
it for? Server dont handle email in any way so what is this service for? I tried to google it but found nothing.Hi
I have 6GB of memory.
When I check from Resource Monitor, for Essentials Storage Service, Commit Set is 4G and Working Set is 1,8G.
Email Service Commit is about 1,8G and Working Set is just below 1G.
So these two services are reserving almost all the memory.
Memory is about 85-90% in use all the time, whether it be night or day.
Server have about 12 users and at the office there is about 2-6 person at the time. Link between server and office is 100M. There are no other services installed but the basic ones. We use server for AD (O365 integration) and file shares. Traffic in File
Shares are not big. They are more kind of an warehouse that in busy day-to-day use.
This server is about couple of months old and it has been like this since it was fired up.
I dont know what to look for from Event Logs and Process Monitor dont give me anything useful. -
Windows Server Essentials 2012 error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified
Running Windows Server 2012 Essentials with an external usb 3 drive as a backup device. Using a Vantec hx enclosure with a WD Red drive. Last night the Dashboard saw the drive with about half the 4TB available for backup. A.M., I get "error code:
2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified".
Going to the server desktop, I see a message indicating that the usb device malfunctioned. unplugging it, and plugging it back in, I now have it available via the dashboard.
This has happened a couple times with two different drives in Vantec hx enclosures.
A couple possibilities come to mind:
the enclosures may both be bad...
there is some problem with the system software and external usb drive.
Thoughts?
Suggestions for external enclosures?
Thanks!Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot backup the Windows Server Essentials 2012 and got "error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified". You found the usb device malfunctioned.
Can you backup the server when you unplugged the usb device, and plugged it back in? If you can backup the server when you replug the usb device, you need to engage the vendor to resolve the hard drive issues.
Best Regards,
Mandy

Do we need CALS for windows server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 if 2008 R2 is just a stepping stone?
We currently have a server on Windows Server 2008 RC SP2 64-bit with approximately 20 clients.
We want to upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 but first need to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 to allow us to do a straight upgrade.
Is it possible to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 with the 5 CAL's included and then upgradeto 2012 R2 and install 20 new CAL's and keep all users accounts and domain PC's the same?Ok sorry for using the wrong terminology... I was under the impression for each client (Computer) connecting to the server we will need a CAL (Client Activation License) in order for the computer to be a domain PC on the server. Do I need 20 CALS's
for Windows Server 2008 R2 and then another for Windows Server 2012 R2 if we are only upgrading to 2008 R2 to be able to upgrade to 2012 R2 without having to do a clean install.
For WindowsServer (Standard edition or Enterprise edition or DataCenter edition), a Client Access License (CAL) is required for each device (if you're using the per-Device CAL licensing method), or, is required for each user (if you're using the per-User
CAL licensing method).
(whether you use per-Device, or per-User, is up to you, it comes down to cost).
CALs are version-specific (to a point) - i.e. if you purchased WS2008 CALs for your 20 devices, for use with your WS2008 server, and you are now upgrading that server to WS2012, you need to upgrade your CALs.
If you are adding a second server which is WS2012, and you are keeping your WS2008 server, you need to upgrade your CALs (because you only purchased WS2008 CALs which don't grant you the rights to connect to the newer server).
If you were to install your second server as WS2008, you wouldn't need to purchase additional CALs, because as long as the version is the same, a single CAL grant you access to unlimited server (of the same version).
CALs can be tricky to correctly license.
Here's some introductory reading:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx#tab=1
And, none of this relates to the technical aspects of product installation/configuration at all (e.g. clean install vs. upgrade).
Windows Server CALs are not license keys/tokens/files which you install/load/download - Windows Server CALs are quite literally paper-based (just like a drivers license or car registration). You are required to have them, to be correctly licensed, but, you
don't physically do anything with them to own/drive a car.

You may log a SR if this does not work.

Installing Windows Server Essentials Experience in SBS 2011 Environment
Scenario: I currently have an SBS 2011 environment with two sites. The business has rapidly grown since I first installed the SBS at the main site. I have setup a new office with a separate AD site. At secondary office I have a DC and a file server (all
bound to the same domain as the SBS).
My question is, can I setup the file server with Windows Server Essentials experience without it messing up the SBS schema? I know the WSEE is supported on an existing single domain environment but not sure if it will mess up anything on the SBS AD environment
since we are using the builtin exchange.
regards,
LJACHi,
My goal isn't to have an SBS server in one site and an Essentials server in the other. I have an SBS at the main site and a Windows Server 2012 R2 'Standard' in the other acting as a DC to the same domain as the SBS. My goal is to use the Anywhere Access feature
at the site with the 2012 R2 server by installing the Essentials experience role. Both sites will be on the same domain and only users at the 2012 site will be using the Anywhere Access feature.
Eventually I'll be migrating the SBS to 2012 R2 server and Exchange 2013 but thats way down the line.
Thank you for your response!
