MS Security Essentials for Server 2012 R2

I've had MS Security Essentials installed on my Server 2008 R2 Foundation, but now that I've upgraded to 2012 R2 Foundation, MS Security Essentials won't install. It gives an error message saying that it won't run on this computer.
I've searched for a replacement, but my searches yield ONLY results for Server 2012 R2 Essentials, and NOT Security Essentials.  Is there a replacement for MS Security Essentials, and if so, how/where can I find it???

Hi,
I agree with Ed that Microsoft Security Essentials is designed for client machines.
I have seen forum threads that indicating it is running well on Windows 2008 machines, still, it is not supported.
Here are some references below for you:
Microsoft Security Essentials, but for Windows Server 2008?

  • HP Officejet Pro 6830 Scanner drivers for Server 2012

    Printer: HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer
    Serial Number: [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
    Product Number: E3E02A
    Email Address: [edited email by moderator]
    Operating System: Windows Server 2012
    I have an issue when trying to install the printer and scanner driver on Server 2012. The driver on the website for Server 2012 is 32Bit link below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4138&lc=en&cc=za&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5390...
    And the drivers that came with the printer give the following error: "This computer does not meet the following system requirement(s): The Operating System of this computer is not supported."
    Have phoned HP on the support line all they do is give me a different phone number to phone.
    Please someone help.

    Hi @Mark-active
    Although my area of expertise is with consumer products and software, not commerical products such as servers, I do have something that might be helpful; Setting Up the Printer on Windows Server 2003, 2008, or 2012 for HP Officejet Printers.
    If the issue you are experiencing persists, I suggest giving us a call. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
    I hope this helps.

  • TNS Listener Poison attack : Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2012-1675

    Hi,

    IMO, mandatory if you expose your Listener to an unsecured or public network (e.g. internet).
    As for Listeners running on your internal network - if this attack is used, securing your Listeners mean very little IMO. Because your internal network already needs to be compromised in order for the attack to occur. Which means you have far more serious problems then someone attacking your Listeners.

  • Coldfusion support for Server 2012

    When are installers going to be made avaliable for Server 2012 for Cold Fusion?.
    Adobe have offically said that installers for windows 8 are 3-5  months away as of September 22nd, 2012 but we havent heard anything about Server 2012?
    Server 2012 was released to MSDN on the 4th of Sepetember. 4 Months seems a long time to wait with no word on installers or support for CF on Server 2012. Are you telling me Adobe doesnt have a MSDN account and only got access to Server 2012 at the same time as the generaly public?

    Unfortunately we are all paying the price for Oracle deferring the end of life of Java 6 from November to Feb. It sounded like Adobe were going roll all this stuff into their patch to add Java 7 support to CF9 and CF10, which they would have needed to get done by Nov. However now it seems they've slacked off and have left it to the last minute. I guess the good news is that this should all be done within the next month or so. The bad news is... it won't give us much chance to test the new release between when Adobe patch CF and before the Java 6 EOL.

  • How do I deactivate a license key for server 2012 r2 essentials

    I bought a retail version of server 2012 r2 essentials to upgrade my 2003. I found my software is not compatible with "essentials" and it
    is compatible with "Standard".  Now I am buying a retail standard edition. My buddy is interested in the "essentials" for his server.

    Strange... Server Essentials IS Server with some add ons.  What tells you it will not work?  Or is support for your program just balking?
    As for your bud... let him call MS if it does not activate and explain a hardware failure.  They will give him a new key... but it should not be necessary for the second install attempt.

  • PowerEdge 1850 and PowerEdge 2550 Can either be used for Server 2012 R2 or Server 2012 Essentials?

    I know these are NOT supported for S2012 by Dell,
    However,
    has anyone ever loaded either operating system on them, even just to test?

    Hi,
    I agree with Tim’s viewpoint. Meanwhile, please note the related installation requirements for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 Essentials. There are
    two articles that you can refer to.

  • Azure backup options for Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    Hello,
    I have configured a new on-prem HP server for a very small (5 users) non-profit client. This is a single server environment, and they use Office 365 for email. I have already configured AD Sync between the two with dirsync. I have installed the Azure agent,
    and imported the certificate, and I am ready to create a backup set.
    This is my first experience with Cloud based server backup - I'm used to products like Backup Exec and tape media. What are my options for backing up this server? Can I only do file/folder backup, as it appears?
    What would be best practice in this situation, as I need to back up the systems state as well? And then, how to restore it?
    All I can think of would be to use Windows Server backup to create a backup of the server, then back that up - but it's so messy, I must be missing something.
    Thank you in advance!!

    Hi,
    You may refer the following link for clear step-by-step procedure on Azure backup:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2014/05/01/configuring-microsoft-azure-online-backup-on-windows-server-2012-r2-essentials.aspx
    As of now, you can only backup File & folders(Even entire drive) but you cannot perform System State backups with Azure Backup.
    For System State backup, as you mentioned about using WSB and then backing it up to Azure Backup vault may be the only work-around as of now. However, you may vote and provide feedback for this feature in
    here.

  • Recommended Free Antivirus for Server 2012?

    Short story, found out that Server 2012 doesn't have a antivirus that comes with it, I purchased MSDN subscription a while back when it was released and installed it as a desktop and been using it without issues.
    I need suggestions on a free based antivirus that's not the System Center or Endpoint thing I've read searching the forums, seems like you have to pay for it and MSDN subscription (the one I have) doesn't cover it for download.
    So basically if you guys know of any free/personal use antivirus I can install on Server 2012, much appreciated.

    Found a good article here:

  • Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Server 2012 Standard

    This is for a small business with all of 2 employees. I setup up the domain on the Server 2012 R2 Essentials. We have since found out that one of the applications was over loading the server so he went and bought a different server. Well that server has 2012 Server Standard. I added it to the domain but when I tried to make it a domain controller, I was getting a conflict error with the domain levels. So the question is, what is the best solution to resolve this? My first thought it to just create the domain on the Server 2012 and just blow the old domain. But maybe there is a better way to do it? any ideas?

  • WIndows 2012 Essentials & SQL Server 2012 Standard

    Does anyone know if SQL 2012 Standard (preferred) or 2008 can be installed on Windows Server 2012 Essentials? We're a small business with 10+ active users and have a need to upgrade our legacy inventory/CRM database to a new solution that requires SQL
    Server. With such a small user base I don't foresee an impact. Are there any implications to installing SQL on Essentials?
    Thank you

    Hi SmallBizUser,
    Just that it is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller. There are specific security restrictions
    when running SQL Server in this configuration and given the resource demands of a domain controller, SQL Server performance may be degraded. There are more details in the following KB. Please refer to.
    You may encounter problems when installing SQL Server
    on a domain controller
    Meanwhile, please also refer to the following similar thread.
    SQL
    on Server 2012 Essentials
    Hope this helps.

     We have a new server with 2012 R2 Essentials. Failed to realize Essentials need for Domain Controller role and Deltek Vision Software running on new server does not run on Domain Controller.  We are prepared to upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Standard,
    and have read the "Transition.." article in the Tech Net Library, but it does not go into much detail.  Need to know what else is involved and does the transition remove the FSMO requirement?   Does the transition wipe out all
    programs and SQL Server installations? I have found articles on migrating from standard to essentials, but not the other way around.

    Hi,
    When you talk about the "Transition" means Transition from Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 Standard?

    If you talk about the migration, i think you could do the migration process.

  • Need help with recomendations on licenses for Server 2012 Std R2

    I have a client who wants to purchase a server from me. I can buy the parts and assemble the system no problem. But I'm a newbie when it comes to user CALs or device CALs. The company will be having about 50 computers connecting to it. I'm assuming they'll
    just be using the standard user/password domain login.
    What else would I need to purchase in addition to the OS?
    What kind of features does the vanilla server OS give you? Can 50 computers connect to just the OS alone? I've seen places that have a 1 user CAL for $36. Do I need 50 of these? If I don't purchase them right away, could my client still connect their computers
    to the server?

    Hello,
    Licensing Windows Server 2012 comes in four different flavours foundation, essentials, standard and datacenter.
    Your client is wanting connect 50 users which really does rule out two of those flavours.
    Essentials is ruled out because it is an OEM operating system and only supports up to 15 users and has limited functionality
    Foundation is rules out because it only supports up to 25 users and has limited functionality
    This leaves us with two Windows Server 2012 flavours you can purchase Standard or Datacenter.  They both have exactly the same functionality; the difference is the virtualisation
    rights.  With standard one license covers two physical processors and supports two virtual machines, if you need more virtual machines then you would have to buy another standard license and giving the right to four virtual machines for example.  Then
    for datacenter license covers two physical processors and covers you for an unlimited amount of virtual operating systems.
    To make this hopefully easier:
    1 x standard license covers = 2 x physical processors – 2 x virtual operating systems environments
    1x datacenter license covers = 2 x physical processors – unlimited virtual operating environments 
    Both Standard and Datacenter come with Full functionality
    Meaning standard licensing is really for no or very limited virtual environments, then if you are looking in to a virtual environment Datacenter is the way to go.
    On regards to CALS are required for every user or device accessing the server.  They/you will need to decide whether or not you go for Device or user CALs.  User CAL
    is more expensive but it gives companies a lot more flexible if the users are running more than one device for example if they support a bring your own device strategy.  Although there are different types of CALS depending on what the customer will be
    looking to use and access. 
    Also can your user still connect to the server: technically speaking yes, CALS are not like license keys you cannot activate them it is effectively a piece of
    paper to say you have purchased X amount CALS and your compliant to allow your users to connect. So you can connect with out purchasing but you will not be compliant from a licensing standpoint.
    Hope this helps to some degree!
    Cheers,
