Licensing Server 2008 R2 RDS with SPLA licenses?

I haven't used SPLA for doing any RDS licenses and am having trouble finding info on where to get the licenses.
Where do I get licenses from? I can't find any info on the SPLA site or on the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center site.
Thanks!

  • Windows Server 2008 black screen with mouse *PLEASE HELP*

    Hello fellow techs,
    I have been tearing my hair out for the past 12hrs on this issue.
    About 3 weeks ago, one of our clients reported that they were experiencing
    issues on the network so one of the staff went into the server room and noticed
    the screen was black with only the cursor. As they couldn't reboot, they
    decided to hold the power button to power it off. When they powered it back
    up, it went passed the windows loading
    splash screen, and again the screen is black with
    the mouse pointer in the center of the screen.
    I am diagnosing the server and find that at the black screen, I’m able to move
    the cursor and beyond that nothing happened. I started in safe mode with the
    exact same results.
    I have been trying many different solutions from posts that I have found in
    Google but no change.
    From other machines you can type \\servername in
    the run box and see the shared folders, as well as ping it.
    This is a very urgent request as I need to have the Server back up and running
    by tomorrow.
    I am quiet willing to pay for phone support with anyone that can assist as soon
    as possible. I am happy to transfer founds via Paypal.<o:p></o:p>
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi,
    I agree with sm, you should give us more details. Also you should use sfc  /scannow
    command to scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible. For more details, please refer to the following article.
    Sfc
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff950779.aspx
    Before going further, would you please let me know whether there were any changes on the affected server? Has windows update or any new device been added? Please also check your shadow copies.
    The Windows Server black screen may be caused by them.
    In addition, there are similar questions, please refer to.

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with SP2: 'SQLEXPRESS'-instance installation fails while any other instance name installation succeeds.

    We supply our software package that also includes the unattended installation (with /QS and so on) of SQL Server R2 Express (with SP2).
    The setup works good in about 99.9% cases, but one customer complained that after the "successful SQL Sever installation (at least, it looked so!) he could not open the supplied database getting some strange error messages...
    After some months of trial-n-error attempts we are now able to reproduce the problems this custumer had. But we cannot find the reason of the problem.
    So the test computer is a virtual machine with Windows 7 + sp1 32-bit.
    Among the programs/tools installed on this machine there were (in the following order):
    SQL Server 2008 Express - the default SQLEXPRESS instance
    SSMS
    VS 2010 Pro (German)
    SQL Server 2008 Express R2 (with SP 1 or SP2 - ?) - the default SQLEXPRESS instance
    Then some of them were uninstalled in the following order:
    SQL Server 2008 Express
    SSMS
    SQL Server 2008 Express R2 
    Now we tried to install (in normal mode with UI) the SQL Server 2008 Express R2 with SP2.
    When we chose the default SQLEXPRESS instance - it failed with the following info:
    Configuration status: Failed: see details below
    Configuration error code: 0x7FCCE689
    Configuration error description: External component has thrown an exception.
    and the Detail.txt file contained the following:
    2015-01-20 10:44:09 Slp: External component has thrown an exception.
    2015-01-20 10:44:09 Slp: The configuration failure category of current exception is ConfigurationValidationFailure

    2015-01-20 10:44:09 Slp: Parameter 6 : INSTALL@VALIDATION@SQL_ENGINE_CORE_INST
    When we chose some other instance name then the installation has completed successfully.
    So the questions are:
    What could be the reason of the problem (and only for SQLEXPRESS instance that was earlier installed and then uninstalled)? I will provide the complete Detail.txt file if needed. 
    How could we check (if we could) the conditions so some name would be allowed as an instance name for SQL Server installer to success?
    With the best regards,
    Victor
    Victor Nijegorodov

    Thank you Lydia!
    Unfortunately the simple check the registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL does /did not work in our case since there is no any instance
    name there,
    However there seem to be some "rudiments" under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
    So I will now try to check the subkeys of these two keys as it was mentioned by Xiao-Min Tan.

  • Installing Flash Player 12 on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE 8

    I have an app that runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 that requires Flash Player 12. When I try to install Flash Player 12 it says that Windows Server R2 X64 is not supported by way of eliminating it from the list of supported operating systems. When I do a search I can find many people who indicate they have it running or explain "hacks" to get it running. Since the app requires it there is an implimcation that it should be running on this OS. What is the offical word on this?  This is a production server and I really don't want an "unsupported hack" running in this environment. Is there a supported means of having Flash Player 12 run on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE8 even if it is within the 32 bit version of the browser?

    Server 2008 (x86) is supported, and I had an x64 machine set up last month that had FP12 installed and running in IE and Firefox. 64 bit IE wouldn't run it for some reason, but the 32 bit did. It installed in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash, but I was unable to get the ActiveX plug-in to enable outside of 32 bit IE.
    I also set up a Server 2012 machine that DID support the x64 ActiveX, but that's probably not an option for you.
    Like you, I'd be leery of "hacks" to get it to run as an x64 pkug-in, as it may have unintended and undesired consequences in other areas.

  • Server 2008 R2 RDS HA Licensing configuration best practices

    Hello
    What is the best practice for setting up and HA licensing environment for RDS?  I'm using a mixture of RDS CALs for my internal/AD users and External Connector license for my external/Internet users. 
    Daddio

    Hi,
    To ensure high availability you want to have a fallback License Server in your environment. The recommended method to configure Terminal Service
    Licensing servers for high availability is to install at least two Terminal Services Licensing servers in Enterprise Mode with available Terminal Services CALs. Each server will then advertise in Active Directory as enterprise license servers with regard to
    the following Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path: //CN=TS-Enterprise-License-Server,CN=site name,CN=sites,CN=configuration-container.
    To get more details on how to setup your License Server environment for redundancy and fallback, go over the "Configuring License Servers for High Availability"
    section in the Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server Licensing whitepaper

  • GPP Delete policy not working on Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS when deleting shared printers with status access denied.

    Hi!
    I Have one AD Security group for each shared printer, I have one GPP that map the printer if the user is in the security group that belong to the printer. And one GPP to delete the printer if the user is NOT member of the security group. The security group
    is also applied in “Security” tab on the printsrv with PRINT rights  and “everyone” is removed. This works 100 % on Windows 7 clients and Windows 2003 Terminal Servers. But on Windows 2008 R2 RDS this dont work.The Delete Policy will not delete the shared
    printer. No warning in any logs, and the gpresult shows that the gpo setting applyed sucessfully. The only way I can make the Delete policy work is if i give the user print rights on the printer on the printsrv. Looks like for the policy to work on 2008
    R2 the user must have print rights on the printer object on the printserver. The GPP Delete Policy will not delete printers that have status : access denied. Anyone else had this problem?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, it seems that we need to give users appropriate permissions, for the error
    Access is denied is more or less related to permissions.
    However, we can avoid deploying the GPP printer delete policy. As far as I know, we can use Item-Lvel Targeting of GPP to push the shared printers
    to the targeted users or groups.
    Regarding ILT, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

  • All 30 minutes my Macs (iMac/Snow Leopard, MacMini/Lion) are loosing the connection to the Windows Servers (2 Networks: Home with Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Office with Home Server V1 (Server 2003)).

    Hallo,
    Ich betreibe im Büro und zu Hause jeweils einen Microsoft Home Server. In beiden Netzwerken ist neben diversen Windows Rechnern auch ein Mac vorhanden.
    Die jeweilige "Konfiguration" ist wie folgt:
    - Apple MacMini (Late 2011, als HTPC) mit Lion per Wlan über AVM Fritzbox 7390 an Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
    - Apple iMac (Late 2010, Arbeitsplatzrechner) mit Snow Leopard per Lan über AVM Fritzbox 7270 an Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
    Alle Betriebssysteme sind auf aktuellem Stand.
    Die Fritzboxen laufen mit der jeweils aktuellen Firmware
    Nun zu dem Problem:
    Beide Macs unterbrechen ca. alle 30 min den Kontakt zum Server. Die Verbindung wird zwar ca. 1-2 Minute später wieder aufgebaut, aber am MacMini (HTPC) macht sich dadurch bemerkbar, daß der Film oder die Musik für obige Zeitspanne stoppt und danach weiterläuft. Beim iMac (Arbeitsrechner) kann ein zuvor vom Server geladenes Dokument dann nicht mehr gespeichert oder gedruckt werden.
    Der MacMini hat dieses Phänomen direkt bei der Verbindung mit dem WHS gezeigt. Der iMac hat jedoch zuvor ca. 1,5 Jahre ohne Probleme funktioniert. Dieses Problem tritt bei dem iMac (Snow Leopard) erst seit ca. 6-9 Monate auf.
    Da unterschiedliche WHS und OS X Versionen betroffen sind und auch unterschiedliche Fritzboxen verwendet werden und scheint ein allgemeines Problem im Zusammenspiel Windows/OS X vorzuliegen.
    Bei dem iMac fällt der genaue Zeitpunkt der Verbindungsunterbrechung nicht auf.
    Bei dem MacMini läßt sich der Zeitpunkt dagegen relativ leicht bestimmen. Aus der Ereignisanzeige beim Windows Server ergibt sich leider kein eindeutiges Fehlerbild. Zu dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt taucht aber relativ oft, aber nicht immer (!), in "Windows-Protokolle Sicherheit" der Fehler 4625 ("Fehler beim Anmelden eines Kontos") auf. Dies würde auf eine Rechteproblematik hindeuten. Das Konto des Mac kann aber alles was ihm auf dem WHS erlaubt ist.
    Beim Suchen nach einer Lösung (bisher leider erfolglos) bin ich u.a. auch über das Problem des Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) beim Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials gestolpert (auch alle 30 min!). Vielleicht ein Zusammenhang?
    Hello,
    I run the office and at home each a Microsoft Home Server. In both networks, in addition to various Windows computers, a Mac is available.
    The particular "configuration" is as follows:
    - Apple MacMini (Late 2011, as HTPC) with Lion via wifi via AVM Fritzbox 7390 to Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
    - Apple iMac (Late 2010, desktop PC) with Snow Leopard by Lan on AVM Fritzbox 7270 on Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
    All operating systems on current conditions with all patches and updates.
    The Fritz boxes running with the latest firmware
    Now to the problem:
    Both Macs are loosing every 30 minutes the contact to the server. The connection is "re-"established about 1-2 minutes later. On MacMini (HTPC), the film or music is stopped for the above period. Thereafter, the film / music goes on. With the iMac (workstation) a document loaded from the server can no longer be saved or printed.
    The MacMini has shown this phenomenon directly in connection with the WHS. However, the iMac has been working about 1.5 years with no problems. This problem only occurs for about 6-9 months
    Because of different WHS and OS X versions are affected and also different Fritz boxes are used and it seems to be a general problem in the interplay Windows / OS X to be present.
    When the iMac is the exact date of disconnection does not occur.
    With the Mac Mini, the time can however be determined relatively easily. From the Event Viewer on Windows Server is unfortunately no clear error image. At the particular time but appeared relatively often, but not always (!) In Windows Security Logs the error 4625 (Failed to log on an account) on. This would indicate a rights issue.
    Searching for a solution (so far unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I stumbled over the problem of the Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (every 30 min!). Maybe a connection?

    Hi, and thank you for your reply!
    My reason for not posting this in the server forum is that I suspect it is a clien issue. All my other clients connect happily to the server which leads me to believe the server is configured correctly.
    Only my the two MacBook Pro's are having problems.

    The instance came up successfully and seems to be operating normally. Was there an error or was the KB installed correctly as the result of the windows update process indicated? 
    Is there a way I can verify this? 

    I did some research on this particular KB article and it seems to be related to Master Data Services which I am not using.  The KB was pushed automatically and I am not sure that it was a required update in our situation. I'd like to understand exactly
    what caused the error message before initiating a repair as this is a production and not a test environment.  Everything appears to be functioning properly and I have received direction from Microsoft in the past that information in some logs identified
    as level 'error' are in fact to be ignored.  I checked the windows update and this KB shows 'Successful' rather than failed or cancelled.
    I would also like more information on why sql server services should not be stopped prior to allowing the OS patches to be applied.   I have received messages in the past that stopping the services before service packs are applied
    prevent the necessity for a reboot of the machine.  I've never heard before that it is a best practice not to stop Sql service prior to applying patches.  Once the services are stopped, I have our infrastructure admin start a VM snapshot on
    the machine then kick off the windows update process. When done, I reboot the machine, test out Sql Server processes and then if all goes well give the ok to release the VM snapshot.  I've supported various databases for 12 years, Sql Server for 5
    years and this is the first time I've heard stopping the service manually can cause problems.  If that is the case, I will certainly change how I do things....
    I did run the discovery report and the results follow:

  • B1 with SQL Server 2008 and SEC with SQL Server 2005

    Hi,
    we are currently upgrading from B1 2005 to B1 2007. With B1 2007 we could use MS SQL Server 2008. In parallel we have a SEC implementation (which uses SQL Server 2005).
    Would there be any issues with the integration of B1 and SEC although they run on with different SQL Server products?
    Thanks
    Olaf

    Hi
    By creating two different instances you can run both simultaneouly. But pls do check whether SEC will run on 2008 or not ?

  • Error on setup failover cluster with Windows 2008 R2 enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 (also with SP1)

    Hi!
    The setup process fails with this error:
      Configuration error code:     
    0x1C2074D8@1216@1
      Configuration error description: There was an error setting private property 'VirtualServerName' to value 'CLUSTER02' for resource 'SQL Server'.  Error: Value does not fall within the expected range.
    I have found some hints by google, but nothing really helpfull.
    Has anyone had a simular problem when installing SQL server 2008 R2?
    All posts I found are about sql server 2008 (no R2!).
    The cluster itself is working (storage, network, msdtc, quorum...).
    Any hints?

    Hi Andreas Plachy,
    Please make sure that the Virtual Server Name ‘CLUSTER02’ is unique on the network. In addition, are there any resources named ‘SQL Server’ on the Windows cluster? If that is the case, you may need to rename the related resources to avoid conflicting with
    SQL Server, and try again.

  • Windows server 2008 Active Directory with PT8.49

    Hi All,
    i m using the follwoing:
    PeopleTools 8.49

    i wnat to know is Micrososft Window 2008 Server Active Directory supported with peopletools 8.49
    Regards,

    My favorites are RODCs and AD as a service.  
    Microsoft explains it in detail here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755093(v=WS.10).aspx

  • Server 2008 R2 SP1 with RRAS takes down entire network

    We have a Hyper-V server (2008 R2 SP1) that is running several DC's.  These DC's are for different domains and establish outbound VPN connections using RRAS to sync with remote DC's.  We have a few of this with 20-30 DC's running on each Hyper-V
    server.
    Application of SP1 to the host OS went without issue and everything remained normal.
    Upgraded a single Hyper-V VM from 2008 R2 to 2008 R2 SP1 and everything connected to the physical switch went down.  Ping times went through the roof and timeouts were happening on the local physical network.  All Hyper-V guests on all
    Hyper-V machines had CPU usage that went from about 0% up to averaging 5% to 7%.  The processing taking all the CPU was the LocalServiceNoNetwork one which is related to packet inspection.
    Using the process of elimination, we found that if we stopped RRAS on the Hyper-V guest running 2008 R2 SP1 then everything went back to normal.  We duplicated the same scenario with a different machine...and again, just stopping RRAS fixed everything.
     As soon as RRAS starts, the network crashes.
    Has anyone else seen anything like this?  I plan on opening a case with PSS tomorrow but thought I'd ask.
    Rob
    Rob

    PSS is useless.  They work on the ticket when convenient for their overseas hours and have no idea what is wrong.  They keep asking for the same information over and over.  We've decided to remove the RRAS component from our VM's.  Instead
    we've decided to set up a VPN configuration where we use IPSec tunnels for each VM.  This allows us to remove all the RRAS roles and the issue goes away with SP1 applied.
    There is definitely something wrong with SP1, RRAS and Hyper-V.  Maybe Microsoft can figure it out on their own time.  It is easier and simpler for us to just remove the component.
    For historical reference, the issue seems to be that RRAS with SP1 picks up packets that are not destined for the RRAS tunnel and attempts to retransmit them.  This, in turn, saturates the switches with retransmit packets and takes down the entire network.
    Microsoft has absolutely no clue on how to resolve the issue and the techs have so little knowledge in real networking troubleshooting that it is laughable.
