Need Help: TS130 Server and Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit Problems

I have 2 TS 130 Lenovo Servers with Xeon 3.2 Ghz CPUs and 16GB of memory. Installing ANY version of Windows 64 Bit after a couple of reboots will cause the system to blue screen. Once it blue screens it is impossible to get back into Windows.
Get this. Installing ANY version of Windows 32 bit works just fine on either machine. I have swapped out ram, hard drives, raid on raid off, updated BIOS etc and the same exact issue on both machines. I have swapped out media thinking maybe it was just a bad disk, but after 3 copies of Server 2008 R2 64 and 2 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and THEN the same problem occurring over and over on BOTH servers.. well needless to say I am pulling mu hair out. These are ALL OEM copies by the way not burned copies.
I called Lenovo Thinkserver support as we are a partner, and their only suggestion was changing some legacy settings in the BIOS which of course has done nothing. I have changed every setting in the BIOS that I feel it could possibly be and still no joy.
Thinking it MAY have been a video problem, I have even went so far as to add new video cards to both machines and the problem still exists on both machines. All drivers are latest versions, and I am getting tired of getting everything setup, and then BAM BSOD.. I have been a tech for 25 years, and I have NEVER seen this issue on any machine ever.. 
As far as the BSODs, one time it will be the language pack error, next time something else, and the next time something else.. no way to nail down the problem.
I KNOW its a machine error, especially when 32 bit runs fine on either machine, but what it is I have no clue.
I am hopeful someone here has had the same issue and can tell me what they may have done to solve the problem. It is absolutely driving me up the wall....
Thanks in advance for ANY help or suggestions.

Never mind.. FINALLY found the problem. Even though I swapped out media etc as far as Server 2008 went, I always used the same COA key.. guess what... English media and Japanese key.... snafu on our OEM vendors end I suppose.
Anyway I was issued a new product/virtual key through Microsoft and it resolved the issue.... stupidest thing I ever saw...

  • Need Help Connecting To My Windows Server Machine From My Linux Machine (What Program To Use)

    My name is Daniel, and I was wondering what program I could use to connect to my Windows Server R2 2012 Computer from my linux laptop. My laptop has the newest version of linux mint mate. I have tried nomachine with no success (but I could have been using

  • Terminal Server and Windows Server 2008 R2

    I currently have a Windows Server 2003 R2 (32 bit) running Terminal
    Services. I am currently running ZCM 10.3.3. But this Windows Server
    is still using the remnants of my ZfD7 install to manage DLU. I need
    to replace this server with Server 2008 R2 SP1 (64 bit). Will ZCM
    10.3.3 work with this version? My main concern is controlling DLU
    when the users login via Terminal Services.

  • List of OOTB Reports for SQL Server and Windows Server

    Hi,
    I am struggling to find a list of OTB reports from Operations Manager for SQL and Windows. Ideally I need the name of the reports and a list of counters that they report on.
    Can anybody give me an idea where I can find this?
    Thanks,
    Pete
    Peter Carter http://sqlserverdownanddirty.blogspot.com/

    Hi Pete,
    I don't believe that there are any Windows or SQL Server specific reports out of the box from SCOM. 
    However, when you import the Windows (either Server or Client, unsure which you are referring to) and/or the SQL Server Management Packs, within the documentation it will tell you the reports that will also be imported and thus available. 

  • Need Help with iTunes and Windows 7

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a new Dell laptop and tried to install iTunes for my iPod and iPhone. The first time I tried it out it ran smooth as anything, but if I'm connected to the net things start to go downhill. At my flat in University (no internet connect) it ran fine, but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now, but obviously dont want to have to do this again and again...
    Can anyone please help?
    Thank you in advance
    Dan

    but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
    What security software are you running on the PC, Dan? (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware?)

    Hi,
    This error means that your DC does not support the encryption method the ACS wants to use.
    Usually this happens when you run 2008 Server with 2003 functionality...
    You will need to run ktpass.exe according to the DC you are running:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/appliance/configuration_guide/48/cas/s_adsso.html#wp1277452.
    For Windows 2008 Server at 2003 Server functional level:
    ktpass -princ newadsso/[adserver.][email protected] -mapuser newadsso -pass
    PasswordText -out c:\newadsso.keytab -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL

  • Advice needed on installing CA on Windows Server 2008 for CUPS Calendar Integration

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure CUPS 8.0 to connect to Exchange 2008 to retrieve calendar information as detailed in the integration note at the link below:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cups/8_0/english/integration_notes/ExchInt.html
    I have successfully completed everything up to the section Installing the CA on Windows Server      2008 but am now running into problems.
    When I run the Role Services Wizard I get options to install Certificate Authority and  Certificate Authority Web Enrollment but not  Online Responder.
    Can anyone advise why this would be the case?
    It may or may not be relevant but the server that the customer has told me to install the CA on is a domain controller - could this be the issue?

  • Lms 3.2 and window server 2008 r2 standard

    Could we upgrade to lms 4.0.1 ? If so, how can we do ?
    thank you.
    Duyen.

    Correct, LMS 3.2 is not supported on Windows 2008 R2.  You can upgrade to LMS 4.0 (which is supported on R2), but that is not a free upgrade from LMS 3.x.  You can, however, download a free 90-day eval of LMS 4.0 from http://www.cisco.com/go/nmsevals .
    It sounds like you need to contact your reseller or account manager to see what they can do.  If you just purchased LMS 3.2, you may be able to get a free or discounted upgrade to 4.0.

    My setup:
    T-500 dual booting via VHD - Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (both 64-bit).
    My problem:
    I'm having a devil of a time with this one.  I get random BSOD'd in my Server 2008 R2 installation, but my Win7 install is rock solid.  Sometimes it's right away, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes when trying to use WordPad.  I cannot get my wireless card (Intel 5100 AGN) to work along with video drivers for my ATI card, so I'm leaning towards a driver issue.  I'm trying to use the Win7 drivers for anything that's missing drivers at the moment, since they are the same under the hood, so to speak.
    Has anyone else experimented with this setup and/or run into similar problems?  Thanks!

    You shouldn't have any big issues, but there are a couple of gotchas that Server versions of Windows have (a notable one is the Bluetooth stack).  Those are somewhat detailed in the review, though (and that blog also details how to get other features of Server 2008 R2 running).

    They can't coexist, but usually what happens is you add the 2012 server, it migrates your cluster database and then your 2008r2 servers can no longer connect.
