Reduce size of Server 2012 Media

Looking to deploy Server 2012 R2 with Configmgr.
However, the source files are massive and I notice that it contains all the files for Standard (Core / GUI) and Datacenter (Core / GUI)
Is it possible to remove any files so that i just have Standard with GUI??

Well, that's misleading. The media contains all those versions, but they are stored in that .wim file. It uses kind of single instance storage, so that disk space usage is already optimized. You won't gain much if you were able to remove them.

Digital Filing broken with windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2?

Hello
Recently upgraded my machines so now I have Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 running. The scanning from my Officejet L7680 to a network share on one of these machines is no longer working.
Looking into it with network monitors I can see that the login of the user and password is working but then the save of the file on the share gives and error.
In windows 8.1 it starts creating the file but cannot add content to it (so the file is 0 Bytes in size) on Server 2012 R2 the creation of the file already gives and error.
Searching around the web seems to indicate that changes in the SMB protocol on the latest windows versions are the cause of this and other MFP suppliers are providing firmware updates to fix this. There seems no way to fix this at the Windows side.
Can HP confirm this issue and indicate which all in ones will be able to connect to network shares on these latest windows version ? With or without a firmware update.

I can confirm that I'm experiencing the same issue on my Windows 8.1 x64 machine and Windows 2012 R2 Essentials. Will there ever be a firmware update for the L7680 printer so we can get this functionality working again?

Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

Hi Caleb CSG,
Thanks for your feedback.
I'll feedback a report to Microsoft, and I also recommend you can post this bug in Microsoft connect.

SQL Server 2005 performance decreases with DB size while SQL Server 2012 is fine

Hi,
We have a C# windows service running that polls some files and inserts/updates some fields in database.
The service was tested on a local dev machine with SQL Server 2012 running and performance was quite decent with any number of records. Later on the service was moved to a test stage environment where SQL Server 2005 is installed. At that point database
was still empty and service was running just fine but later on, after some 500k records were written, performance problems came to light. After some more tests we've founds out that, basically, database operation performance in SQL Server 2005 decreases with
a direct correlation with the database size. Here are some testing results:

One more thing is that it's not Process2 table that constantly grows in size but is Process1 table, that gets almost 100k records each run.
After that SQL Server 2005 has also been installed on a dev machine just to test things and we got exactly the same results. Both SQL Server 2005 and 2012 instances are installed using default settings with no changes at all. The same goes for databases
created for the service.
So the question is - why are there such huge differences between performance of SQL Server 2005 and 2012? Maybe there are some settings that are set by default in SQL Server 2012 database that need to be set manually in 2005?
What else can I try to test? The main problem is that production SQL Server will be updated god-knows-when and we can't just wait for that.
Any suggestions/advices are more than welcome.

Hi,
It is not clear to me what is that you are doing, but now we have a better understanding on ONE of your tables an it is obviously you will get worse result as the data become bigger. Actually your table look like a automatic build table by ORM like Entity
Framework, and it's DDL probably do not much your needs. For example if your select query is using a filter on the other column that [setID] then you have no index and the server probably have to scan the entire table in order to find the records that you
need.
Forum is a suitable place to seek advice about a specific system (as I mentioned before we are not familiar with your system), and it is more suitable for general questions. For example the fact that you have no index except the index on the column [setID]
can indicate a problem. Ultimately to optimize the system will need to investigate it more thoroughly (as it is no longer appropriate forum ... but we're not there yet). Another point is that now we can see that you are using [timestamp] column, an this
implies that your are using this column as a filter for selecting the data. If so, then maybe a better DDL will be to use clustered index on this column and if needed a nonclustered index on the [setID] if it is needed at all...
what is obviously is that next is to check if this DDL fit
your specific needs (as i mentioned before).
Next step is to understand what action do you do with this table. (1) what is your query which become slowly in a bigger data set. (2) Are you using ORM (object relational mapping, like Entity Framework
code first), and if so then which one.

Maximum LUN size for Windows 2012 server

Dear All
What is the Maximum size of the LUN that can be provided to windows 2012 server. Earlier it was 2 TB for windows 2008 server has the policy changed or it is still
the same.
Regards
Zubair

Hi,
Would you please let me know if your OS version is Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 Essentials? If it’s Windows Server 2012, you’d better ask the question in the File Services and
Storage forum. We will get a better assistance there.

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

Yes. The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

Is Adobe Media Server 5 Professional Compatible with Windows Server 2012?

Could anyone from Adobe please verify the following link is up-to-date and AMS 5 Pro does not support Windows Server 2012?
http://www.adobe.com/products/adobe-media-server-professional/tech-specs.html

Hi Jorma,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Does Adobe has any timeline for testing on Windows Server 2012 and for officially supporting the platform?
Thanks again.

Media Backup For Server 2012 R2

I have a home server running win server 2012 r2. It runs scheduled backups of my hdd with OS which is good, but I would also like to backup my music, videos and pictures as well. I see that the
OS is backed up into dat files amung others which is fine, but is there a way to backup my media files in their actual extensions (.mp3, .png etc)?
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that you would like to "copy your media files to another location as a backup".
If this is correct you can simply create a schedule task and run a robocopy command line to help copy all these files to another location. For example:
robocopy x:\folder \\win2012r2\folder /s

Windows Server 2012 OS Partition Size recommendations

i might be wrong but i have always tried to keep the size of the OS partition to match a common physical HDD size ie 125GB, taking into consideration the Windows update patches and apps versions update.

Greetings. This is my first post, so please be kind.
The Storage Admin at my new job has defined Windows Server 2012 installs to have a 40 GB OS Partition. To me, this seems extraordinarily small. I know MIcrosoft's minimum is 32 GB.
Most of the servers I will be deploying will not have the applications on the OS partition, but I believe the page file will be on the OS partition.
Since most of these servers will also have 8 GB or more of RAM, what would be a good recommended size for the OS Partition?
Also, if someone could link me to articles written by technology leaders talking about this issue, I would appreciate it.

Very large file 1.6 GB..sports program for school. lots of photos, template where media spots saved and dropped photos in..trying to get it to printer swho says its too large but when reduces size loses all quality...HELP??

Please help...large file my sons Athletic program. Had noto problem with Quality last year..this new printer said file is too large..too many layers, can I FLATTEN..He reduced size and photos look awful. It is 81 pages. Have to have complete before next friday!! Help anyone??

At that size it sounds like you have inserted lots of photos at too large a size and resolution.
Especially for a year book style project, first determine your image sizes and crop and fix the resolution to 300 dpi, then drag them into the publication. Pages does not use external references to files and rapidly grows to quite large size unless you trim and size your images before placement.

Hi
Looks like the AAA configuration is set for local
aaa authentication enable console LOCAL
aaa authentication http console LOCAL
aaa authentication serial console LOCAL
aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
aaa authentication telnet console LOCAL
Change it to Radius
aaa-server Keefa-Raduis protocol radius
aaa-server Keefa-Raduis (NAZCO) host 172.16.200.10
key *****
radius-common-pw *****
for example :
aaa authentication telnet console Keefa-Raduis LOCAL
Now when you will do telnet to using Radius credentials, Its Should work, If radius goes down you can use LOCAL username and password as fallback method.
Cheers!

SQL Server 2012 - Clustered installation fails - cannot locate MSIs

Hi forum
I have a query relating to SQL Server 2012 installation, on Windows Server 2012 R2 - SQL Server is Enterprise, Windows is SQL Server Standard Edition.
Our windows team have created two Windows Server 2012 machines, and installed and got cluster services running.
We've tried the installation of SQL Server 2012 RTM, slipstream SP1 and slipstream SP2, and all come up with an error during the installation - I've even tried the trial version of SQL Server 2012 (SP1), just in case there is a media issue.
Immediately after the window which it is installing the installation files, we get the error:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Failed to retrieve data for this request.
You'll see in the logfile of the installation below, that the installer cannot locate specific MSI files
e.g.
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x64\sql_fulltext.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x86\sql_fulltext.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x64\sql_dq.msi' does not exist
(01) 2015-03-02 11:29:18 Slp: Sco: File 'E:\x64\setup\x86\sql_dq.msi' does not exist
I've expanded and checked the ISO / IMG files and these files do not exist.
I'd suspect media corruption, however, the installer works fine on a stand-alone machine, and the same files are missing from two separate sets of installation media - so I think that rules it out.
If someone could give us a clue over what the problem is, we'd really appreciate it - we're trying to create a 2012 availability group setup, so need cluster services...
Many thanks
Carl.

Hello,
What the summary.txt log file says? Could you share the content of that file with us?
Have you tried to copy the media to a local drive, unzip the ISO file into a folder and run SQL Server setup from there.
Hope this helps.

Server 2012 R2 ISO download is larger than DVD, how do I install on a new physical server?

I have downloaded Server 2012 R2 (not the trial version) and the size of the ISO is 5.2Gb. I get 'disc image file is too large' error when trying to create image on DVD. How do I install 2012 R2 on a new physical server?

Does your server have an out-of-band management console? Those can generally mount virtual media that is simply a file residing on the machine you are using to connect to the console.
Another option is to use USB -

Hyper-V host server upgrade from Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre

We are about to upgrade our Hyper-V host servers from Server 2008R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre to take advantage of the latest Hyper-V features.
This only concerns the host servers and not the guest VMs running on the hosts (they will be upgraded next year).
This is what is running on our host servers:
Host 1
File,print & issuing CA server
Exchange 2010
SharePoint 2010
Quickbooks server
Domain controller 1
Offline CRL CA
Host 2
SQL 2008
Forefront TMG 2010
Domain Controller 2
Windows 7 client
With this is mind, I have drafted a rough action plan as follows:
Create a list of all file locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Document all existing system settings
Gather server information, download drivers, RAID controller and other boot drivers & firmware updates (in case the in-place upgrade fails)
Test all software media
Copy all VMs onto external data storage (NAS drive)
As part of the upgrade process we will redistribute some hard drive space i.e.
expand them to their new sizes and verify the data integrity of copied VMs by powering up each VM in a test environment
Wipe and adjust the sizes of the host partitions to accommodate the expanded VMs
Perform an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Check EV, services etc
Change the default locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Upgrade Anti-virus and other system software
Test the system
Are there any glaring omissions? Does anyone have any tips they can give me?

Hi Marco,
always do a fresh Installation of your hyper-V Hosts, you could end up doing a lot of Troubleshooting with Drivers,Addons etc.. new Installation ist way faster.
Depending if you have a Cluster or Standalone Servers there are different ways to do it.
When you have installed your 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server you just can Import the VMs from the new Location.
As far as i know VMs with snapshots are not supported, so you have to remove them before doing that move and commit the changes to the vhd files, the VM need to be offline on 2008R2 to do that.
You do not Need to Export the VMs on 2008R2, just copy it, normaly you should have all Files of a VM in one Folder.
A working Backup is always your friend on such Tasks.
When the VMs are running on Hyper-V 2012R2 do not forget to Update the Integration Services.
Make Sure your Servers Hardware are still supported with 2012R2, see Server Catalog and Support Matrix of the Vendor.
And last one, where possible and supported convert the VHDs to VHDx Disks, after testing the first boot of the VM.

Can't restore SQL 2005 BAK to SQL 2008 R2 running on Server 2012

Hi there,
Preparing to switch from SQL 2005/Server 2003 to SQL 2008 R2 / Server 2012. Took a backup of the SQL database on 2005 (stored at a cloud backup provider nightly) and copied to the new machine. Unable to restore the .BAK file, with the error:
The media family on device <backup path> is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3241)
Tried it with two different backup files from two different nights, same error. I understand that this error can show up when restoring to a lower version of SQL, but that's not the case here.
Also, I know this can occur if the BAK file is corrupt, and I can't verify that yet, but two in a row failed. I'm hoping our cloud solution isn't part of the problem somehow.
BAK file is 15 Gb in size, so don't have the ability to attempt the restore on the 2005 production server. Just not enough room, and can't afford to cause performance issues on that box anyway.
Anyone know of any way to get a better handle on what's going on, or, even better, how to resolve it?
Thanks
Robin

Hello,
Since you are using a cloud solution, maybe the following article applies in your scenario.
