Problems after print server migration to Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
New forum member, first time poster. I am at my wits end and have concussion from banging my head on the desk for several days running. Hopefully someone here may be able to help.
Environment
I have recently moved our printing environment from a Windows Server 2003 machine to a new Server 2008 R2 machine in prep for rolling out Windows 7 x64 clients. We have 30-40 printers, majority of which are HP's (M2727's, P4015dn's, CM3530's, P2035's & a CM8060).
My procedure for setting up the printers on the new server involved manually creating each printer and using up-to-date drivers, we wanted to start fresh. The HP's are all using the HP Universal PCL 5 or PCL 6 (61.115.1.10527) x86 & x64 driver. We use Desktop Authority on logon to install the required printers for each client.
Problems
Since everyone is now running through the 2008 R2 server we have had a bunch of intermittent problems pop up all over the place, mostly with our HP printers. When using the PCL6 driver some applications print a page or 10 of garbled gibberish (wingdings etc), so most printers are now using the PCL5 driver. Other applications print the error "PCL XL error" when using PCL6. Sometimes reinstalling the printer on the client machine will resolve these errors, however they tend to resurface.
When we use the PCL5 driver our M2727's intermittently report "Out Of Memory" on the printer display (they are stock with 64M RAM each) - upgrading the RAM may fix this but we never had this problem before on the 2003 server. This problem is not specific to the size of the printed document - it could be a 20 page report or a 2 page excel document. Resetting the printer will generally clear this issue temporarily. This is currently our most annoying/biggest issue.
Some people are having issues printing to a FujiXerox 340A-AP printer - in particular 1 person is able to print fine, where as another prints and the print margin appears to be far too small. After confirming all print margins on the server then reinstalling the printer on the client machine, the problem still persists. We have two FujiXerox printers, the second one is working as intended for 8-10 users with the exact same settings.
Attempted Fixes
These are some of the attempted fixes that I have tried:
Turning it off and on
Upgrading the firmware on the M2727's to resolve garbled printing & out of memory
Upgrading the firmware on the CM3530's to resolve garbled printing
Reinstalling all HP Universal PCL5/PCL6 x86 & x64 drivers on the print server
Ensuring that the 2008 R2 server is 100% up-to-date with MS patches
Backing up all printers on print server, removing the print server role, deleting all printers & drivers, rebooting, reinstalling the print server role and restoring all printers from backup
Upgraded Desktop Authority to the latest version - as this application is in charge of installing the printers on logon
As you can see we are having a lot of problems and nothing seems to make any sense. None of this happened before Windows Server 2008 R2 was brought in to the equation.
If anyone is able to provide any assistance that would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Hartz.
tldr; our printers are screwed since migrating to Windows Server 2008 R2.

ADPrep Migration from Windows Server 2003 to 2012 Foundation Server fails with error 0x80004005

Hi all,
Having a problem the forums and Google have been unsuccessful in helping me with. Server is Windows 2003 R2, migrating to Windows Server 2012 foundation. Have tried the AD Migration on the new 2012 Foundation server both as a standalone server
and a domain server member before running the migration. I get the following error:

We did have AVAST Antivirus installed on the server but this was removed. Any idea's?

Hi Biswajit et. al., thanks for your help thus far, it is greatly appreciated...
Unfortunately I had already disabled the NIC's on both hosts. They currently remain disabled. I've just tried turning off IPv6 as well and no luck.
PortQry came back fine (I think) :)

Webi scheduling error in BO 4.0 SP04 after security patch updates in windows server 2008 R2

We are getting below error in BO 4.0 SP04 Web Intelligence report scheduling after security patch updates in windows server 2008 R2
while trying to invoke the method com.businessobjects.sdk.core.server.IServer.getServerContext() of an object returned from com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.impl.services.DocumentInstanceManagementServiceImpl.getServer(com.businessobjects.sdk.core.context.IContext, com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.model.engine.IDocumentInstance)
We have reverted back security patch but still giving above scheduling problem in BO 4.0 SP04 WebI and we can view and refresh report.
Is there any way to fix the scheduling problem in BO 4.0 SP04 WebI?

HI,
Check SAP notes if they will help you.

Problem starting Repository Browser Service on Windows Server 2008

Using the default Warehouse Builder installation in the 11g (11.1.0.7.0) databaseinstallation on a clean Windows Server 2008 64-bit installation.
Warehouse Builder installed and populated ok, OWB client works fine etc.
When trying to start the Repository Browser listener by running the startOwbbInst.bat, the OC4J container crashes with the following error in the \owb\j2ee\log\oc4j\log.xml:
+<MSG_TEXT>Could not create Secure http listener due to {0}</MSG_TEXT>+
+<SUPPL_DETAIL><![CDATA[java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\owb\bin\admin\..\..\j2ee\config\%ORACLE_HOME%\owb\j2ee\config\keystore.jks (The system cannot find the path specified)+
+     at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)+

+     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66)+
+     at oracle.oc4j.security.OC4JSSLSocketFactory.getStoreIn(OC4JSSLSocketFactory.java:253)+
(The local_service_login.bat works fine).
We're starting this as an administrator user in Win2008.
All parameteres in the setowbenv.bat seems to be correct as far as I can tell. There is a strange reference to %ORACLE_HOME% in the above log, of which I've no idea where it is coming from....
Identical installation worked fine on a 64-bit Windows Server 2003, - so can this be something related to a new security model in Windows Server 2008?
(I found a posting regarding problems with the startOwbbInst.bat on Vista [here |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2275781&#2275781] - so maybe.... however, the quickfix mentioned there did'nt help us here...)
Anyone experienced similar problems (and preferably solved them) on Windows Server 2008 and/or Vista?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Solved this after some trawling through xml configuration files on the server.
The file C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\owb\j2ee\config\http-web-site.xml contains the reference to keystore.jks:
          <ssl-config keystore="*%ORACLE_HOME%*/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="->keystoreadmin"/>
changing this to:
          <ssl-config keystore="C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="->keystoreadmin"/>
and the OC4J container starts successfully.

Migration of Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials

Hi,
I am trying to migrate Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials by following the steps given in the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200112.aspx
I have looked at other threads on the forum but none of them have been too helpful.
The issue: When
I run the Migration Preparation Tool on the Source Server, it runs successfully and does not report any errors. However, when I try installing Windows Server 2012 Essentials on the Destination Server, it displays an error that says 'Source
Server not prepared for migration: After you run the Migration Preparation Tool successfully on your source Server, click retry'.
The Source Server has 2 network adapters-one for the local network and the other for connection to the internet and the router is set as the default gateway this adapter.
Since it is mentioned in the documentation - 'configure your Source Server to use one network adapter', I'm wondering if this is the issue and I need to make changes in this configuration?
On running the Microsoft IT Environment Health Scanner tool it
reported an error - 'DNS Server listening on multiple addresses' and a warning ‘Domain Controller listening on multiple addresses’. Both point to the same solution KB 272294 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272294).
But it did not remove the errors.
Other steps performed:
As per the steps, I performed a backup, installed recent service packs and synchronized the source server time with external source.
On running the Best Practices Analyser. It shows 3 warnings.
- The threshold for the Allocated Memory alert is set to the default value. However the server has more than 2 GB of RAM installed.
- Microsoft Outlook Client not installed" Text="Microsoft Outlook Client is not installed in the ClientApps folder. You must run Windows SBS integrated setup.
- The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
I also ran the Ran netdiag.exe, dcdiag.exe commands
and no failures were reported.
The Event Viewer does not show any errors.
Not sure to what extent these warnings would affect the migration.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The SBS2003 needs to use one NIC only so you'll need to change that before starting. If it is the premium version and has ISA server installed, that will need to be removed first. See:

Problems with Microsoft.Update.Session on Windows Server 2012R2

Hi, I've created a script for collecting Windows Update information using the "Microsoft.Update.Session" comObject.
I got some problems collecting data from certain servers, but I don't understand what can be wrong.
In this example I got "DC1" and "DC2", where DC1 is a Windows 2012R2 Core, and DC2 is a Windows 2008R2. Both has installed updates previously.
The problem is that the Microsoft.Update.Session won't return the installed updates from "DC1", using the identical commands as on "DC2".
Commands used in this example:
$updateSession = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
$Searcher = $updateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()
$PendingUpdates = $Searcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0")
$PendingUpdates = $PendingUpdates.Updates
$Installed = $Searcher.QueryHistory(0,1) | select -ExpandProperty Date
Output from session DC1:

Anyone got an idea of what might be wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Objectclass,
The updates you query from DC1 (Windows Server core 2012 r2) is different from DC2 (Windows Server 2008 R2), because firstly these two servers have different operating system versions so they apply different updates, and DC1 also have less updates than DC2
because of server core edition.
Fewer installed features means fewer features to patch and maintain, Server Core has been available since Windows Server 2008, and historically we've noted as much as 35-45% fewer patches needed on Server Core installations.
Refer to:

We're running Windows server 2003 32bit and want to migrate to Windows server 2012R2 64bit, can someone provide a step by step procedure on how to migrate instances on ADAM to AD LDS?

I have no experience in dealing with servers, but my senior has asked me to investigate on how to migrate instances on ADAM (windows server 2003 32bit) to AD LDS (Windows server 2012R2 64 bit) as in place upgrade is not an option as we're running a 32bit
Server and want to migrate to a 64bit Server. can someone please give me a Walkthrough on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
it'd be of great help if you could give me a step by step process of replication.
There is no step-by-step article/guide of replication process, replication between AD LDS instances of the same configuration set is an automatic process.
All we need to make sure is to create a replica of the existing instance, and there is no network/security obstacle preventing the replication.
Please note that we need to install AD LDS from Server manager on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2.

Exchange Server 2013 In Windows Server 2012 - unable to logon EXchange Administrator Center (EAC)

Hi All,
I Just installed Exchange Server 2013 in Windows Server 2012 and trying to connect Dynamics CRM 2013 (DNS).
The Installations Success full but unable to load the EAC page by using the following URL
https://servername:port/owa/auth/logon.aspx
I have cross checked in Exchange/owa/auth folder don't have the "logon.aspx" file
But the auth folder have the "logoff.aspx"
I installed many time freshly in separate WS-2012 but it not contains that logon.aspx
I want access the Exchange Administrator Center
Please Help me to solve it
IIS Exchange (Missing of logon.aspx)
SRKD0808

Hi All,
I sorted out this problem
Actually we have to run these 2 commands in Domain Control, But what i did I just run this
1) setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Command in Domain Control we don't need to run the 2nd command, Because I already try to installed exchange 2013 very first time it success and after some modifications
it gone.
That time it will ask you to provide Organization name, Once you give that it will create the Organization name in Domain control and it will save the settings when
you install first time
Because of this reason It is failing to run these 2 command
Finally what i did I just revert back my Domain control snapshot & Exchange server as well
Then i started freshly Installation in DC and Exchange server 2013 successfully installed
URL http://servername/ecp/default.aspx
Whole Process will be here

Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

Hi all,
I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox. I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
the DC server. Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
admin page, it gives error info:
System status: The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
a good state and try again.
Search Application Topology: Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
From event viewer, I see following errors:

Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
Thanks a lot.

Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$IndexLocation = "C:\Search" #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!
$SearchAppPoolName = "SSAPool"
$SearchAppPoolAccountName = "mydomain\admin"
$SearchServiceName = "SSA"
$SearchServiceProxyName = "SSA Proxy"
$DatabaseServer = "W12R2DC1"
$DatabaseName = "SSA"
$spAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $SearchAppPoolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$spAppPool)
$spAppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $SearchAppPoolName -Account $SearchAppPoolAccountName -Verbose
$ServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $SearchServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$ServiceApplication)
# process stays at the following step forever, already one hour now.
$ServiceApplication = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name $SearchServiceName -ApplicationPool $spAppPool.Name -DatabaseServer $DatabaseServer -DatabaseName $DatabaseName
Account mydomain\admin is an farm managed account, domain admin account, in WG_ADMIN role, It is in all SQL server roles and is DBO. I see search DBs are already on SQL server. From Event viewer, I got following errors in sequence:
(1) Crawler:Content Plugin under source Crawler:Content Plugin

How do I run a non-server program on Windows Server 2008

I currently run a synchronization software application on my desktop in order to backup and synchronize over 600GB of data. I would like to install this on our server, which runs Windows Server 2008, but the software does not provide for installation
on this operating system. I continue to receive a message stating that the software may not run properly on Windows Server OS, but it does not allow me to bypass this message. Is there any way to create a partition or trick the software into thinking
that it is running on a different operating system or do I have to abandon Server 2008 and install a basic home operating system in order to run this software? Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to install an software which is not supported by Windows Server.
Try to install this software in other compatibility mode:
1. Right-click the installation program and select properties.
2. Select Compatibility tab, select the checkbox Run this program in compatibility mode for.
3. try to use different OS to install this program.
Besides, you may right-click the installation program and select Run as administrator.
Above are my personal suggestion and just for your reference. If the problem still exit, I suggest you to connect the software‘s support/form for better help.
If you want to backup date, I suggest you to use Windows Server Backup, you may reference the link below for detailed information:

How to enable high availability on SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2

Dear Folks,
I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

Try below
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cindygross/archive/2009/10/23/checklist-for-installing-sql-server-2005-as-a-clustered-instance.aspx
I will recommend you to upgrade SQL server to newer version for support as well as flexibility.

WSUS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2 - Supported SQL Configurations

According to
this page the supported SQL configurations for WSUS on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 stop at SQL Server 2012 SP1, but there is no mention of SQL Server 2012 SP2 being supported.
However, both the SCCM 2012 R2
supported configuration page and this announcement state that SQL Server 2012 SP2 is fully supported on SCCM 2012 R2 with no
known limitations. Bearing in mind a big part of SCCM is to perform software updates which in turn requires WSUS to be installed...
... Is SQL Server 2012 SP2 supported on WSUS 4.0 (aka WSUS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2)?

The only thing that mattered for the versions mentioned on TechNet probably is the date the articles are published. I'm no Microsoft employee so I cannot guarantee you support even if I trace back some Microsoft article that explains the lifecycle of MS
products and support.
Fact is that MDT uses a database, SQL is a database server. SQL server has all kinds of compatibility modes to support databases dating multiple versions back.
Another fact is that a Service pack is an
update to the software (be it a large one) Microsoft will not break compatibility with their own products (and may others that relay on SQL server) by an update.
And a last fact is that in general, updates are required when you need support. After all, updates fix issues, and engineers generally don't like ghosthunting a bug that has already been patched.

How to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)

I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
single Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)
Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

please post you question on failover clusters in the cluster forum. THey will explain how this works and point you at scipts.
You should also look in the Gallery for cluster management scripts.
