Remote File Sharing Options - Server 2012 Standard

Looking for an option for file sharing outside of the office, other than having to use VPN. I know there is directaccess in 2012 standard, however, our machines are Windows 7 pro and machines are only bound to a workgroup, no domain. Trying to
find alternatives as we want to utilize a cloud server for company file sharing. Let me know if there are any options out there.
Thanks, Bob

Yeah, this is for business. So we need a shared solution, ftp is not an option and I we do have office 365 which I believe includes onedrive. The problem is, we need something simple with granular permissions. I don't think any cloud service
offers anything simple as mounting a drive with granular permissions. Dropbox doesn't have it and I don't think any Microsoft services has it either.

Impossible to connect to Remote Web Access (Win Server 2012 Standard R2 with Essential Experience)

Hi everyone,
I've got a little problem and maybe someone here could help me a little.
I've installed the essential experience role on my 2012 R2 standard server and I configured all the stuff to connect my server via remote web access. Unfotunatly, I the connection doesn't work and i've got an error message like "Impossible to connect
with RWA. Please contact the person in charge of the server".
I spend a long time looking about my problem on google but didn't find how to solve it.
Thanks for any help

REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

I am using a window 7 professional service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
on how to use it.
Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional service pack 1.
Thank you.

Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd983943(v=ws.10).aspx
Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do? You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products. In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

Licensing options for Server 2012 Standard Edition

I am working a proposal to a new client. Currently they have a single physical server, and 15 workstations, connected to AD;
Server 2012 standard running hyper-V - evaluation (and not attached to the domain)
On it are two virtual machines -
Domain Controller 2008 32bit - license is activated.
2nd server 2008 R2 64bit - evaluation (attached to the domain)
If they purchase a 2012 Server Standard license, with 15 user cals, I should be able to activate the two unlicensed servers?
Mark Smed, NPA Network Support Technician [email protected] Northern Computer l Your trusted partner. Ph: 250.762.7753 Ext. 1803 www.northerncomputer.ca

... If you make the host a domain controller and run Hyper-V you lose your "free" VM instances...
It is my understanding that you lose one of your VM instances, not both. I was led to believe that the purpose of this restriction is to prevent someone from getting a three-for-two deal on licenses, not to lock them out of guest privileges entirely.
but in you instance the host is not licensed and one of the vm's are not licensed so you still need to get a license for the host however you go about it.
This is not quite true as worded. It's true that you have to get a license for the host in general, because Windows Server licenses always apply to a specific piece of hardware, never to a virtual machine. However, it's not necessarily true that you have
to license the management operating system (I think the licensing document calls this the physical OSE, or something like that).
If you have purchased one license of Windows Server Standard 2012 or 2012 R2 non-OEM, then you are licensed to run a maximum of two virtual instances of that same server operating system version/edition or lower on a single host with up to 2 physical CPUs.
You are also allowed to run that same operating system version/edition or lower as the management operating system without purchasing an additional license as long as it runs nothing but Hyper-V Server and services needed manage/maintain its own virtual machines.
If you do anything else in the management OS that provides services to other systems (like ADDS), then one of the guest licensing privileges is lost to cover the management OS. Any OEM licensing may have its own restrictions.
For licensing questions, it is always best to contact an authorized Microsoft reseller and ask to speak to a licensing expert. They go through training specifically for this. The call is usually free. The fines for license violations most
certainly are not. "Read it on a forum" is not good audit defense.

Restore backups from Server 2012 Standard to 2012 Essentials or Foundations

The owner of our small office (about 25 employees) wants to have an off-site "emergency server" to be used if the primary office becomes completely unavailable due to fire or other emergency. In the past we did this with a 2003 Small Business server
in the office and a basic PC stored off site both running Veritas Backup Exec 10 and backing up files to a removable hard drive that could be restored to the spare 'server'.
Now that we are upgrading the main office server to Server 2012 Standard, the Backup Exec 10 will no longer work and I'm not interested in paying several thousand dollars for licenses for the newest version of Backup Exec for the new server and the 'spare'
machine.
So my question is, if I use the built in backup system in the 2012 Standard server, would a spare machine running 2012 Essentials or 2012 Foundations be able to access those backups? Getting the basic OS on the spare server instead of the full 2012 Standard
would lower the cost significantly and make it easier to fit into the available budget. When used in an emergency, there would probably be at most 5 people accessing the spare server so user licenses won't be an issue, I just need to make sure the backup idea
is feasible.

Hi Michael,
à
if I use the built in backup system in the 2012 Standard server, would a spare machine running 2012 Essentials or 2012 Foundations be able to access those backups?
Based on your description, I test something in my Lab environment. I create a shared folder, then backup (not Full server backup)
to the shared folder via Windows Server Backup on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials. Then logon a Windows Server 2012 Standard and access the shared folder. Then navigate to the backup file (.vhdx file), right click it and select
Mount. Please assign a drive letter to it in Disk Management. Then you will be able to see all files and folders which were backed up in this backup file (VHDX file).
In addition, when run Recovery Wizard via Windows Server Backup, you also can use an option ‘A backup stored on another location’
to select the backup file which was stored in the shared folder for the recovery.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Time Capsule and File Sharing on Server

I am in the process of setting up Server at home. I've run into a snag with using a Time Capsule as my router and backup drive and also enabling file sharing through Server. When adding File Sharing as a service in the Server application, a warning comes up to disable disk sharing at the router before forwarding the ports. The problem is that if I disable disk sharing on the Time Capsule, I can no longer access my Time Capsule drive (for obvious reasons). I was reading another post that discussed enabling disk share from the router and then adding a port for file sharing manually, but that did not seem to work as I cannot remotely access my files.
I am running Server on an iMac which is running Mavericks. The Time Capsule says it's "version 7.6.4". It's a 2TB drive. The iMac is a 2012 system with 1TB drive. I also have a Drobo and a few external drives connected.
I appreciate any advice! Thanks!

If I turn on disk sharing (even without the LAN option) I can select the disk to back up, but then I cannot share files using my server due to the port conflict.
I find this hard to follow.. there is no port conflict on a local lan with sharing.. that is not even possible.
If you have several Macs for instance and set each to share.. they are all able to share.. there is no port conflicts.. You do not need all the devices on different ports because they have different names.
You only get into port conflicts when you have external access turned on.. and are having to port forward. Because the network is identified by a single public IP.. in that case you can port translate but you don't do that in a LAN.
There has to be something screwy in the server version of Mavericks for this to happen.
I am trying to think of way around it.. but I will do a bit of google work first on if others are having issues with latest server version.
What about giving me a few screenshots of the setup...
Network on the server.. and network on the TC ..
And run netstat scan on the server to see the local IP addresses of everything.

Error 0x80072ee7 when activating Windows Server 2012 Standard ROK

I am installing windows server 2012 standard ROK onto a HP Proliant micorsever. I installed the product key using elevated command prompt (found instructions on hp site), but when I get to the point to activate the operating system using the following
command cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato, I get an error message --> 0x80072ee7 On a computer running Microsoft windows non-core edition. Why is this happening? From prior research that I've done do I need to install a KMS Client
key and if so what is the proper key for the OS that I am using?

Hi,
The 0x80072EE7 error code may occur if the client computer cannot find the correct IP address when it tries to resolve a URL for the Windows Update Web site or for the Microsoft Update Web site. This error may occur if the Hosts file contains a static IP
address also might occur due to one of the following reason.
• Programs or processes that interfere with Internet communications

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already followed that article. I have changed the user to local account user, but it did not work.
Like you said the sql server is installed, but it is not starting the services. Following is the error log file message:

Windows Server 2012 Standard - HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus printer not working after promoting to Domain Controller / AD Services

An associate and myself installed the built-in drivers for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus multi-function (network) printer on a Windows Server 2012 Standard server installation and everything worked fine whenever I want to print anything directly from the
Windows Server machine (there's a reason for this, so please understand that ;) ).
We were able to print without any problems from the Windows Server 2012 machine, using the drivers from Microsoft. Mainly, because HP has not listed any specific support for Windows Server 2012, only Windows Server 2008 R2, however, the drivers that
came with Windows 2012 seem to work very well.
PROBLEM: I later had to promote the Windows Server 2012 to a Domain Controller, and created the Active Directory configurations, even enabled the Print Services. After doing all of that, the HP printer will not print anything. It's like all print
requests directly from the Windows Server go to Nil.
Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? The only thing I can think of is that after perhaps something affected printing directly once we promoted the server to being a DC, and added other features / roles. I even tried installing the
HP drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2, and the results are still the same...nothing prints. Trust me, the printer is set as the Default Printer and even when choosing to print, we make sure the HP OfficeJet Pro is selected, and is on, as other Windows
Client PC's can print to it directly.
Does anyone have any suggestions we could try? Thanks in advance.

While it is quite a while since this was posted - I can concur a similar issue exists.
We have spent the better part of a day trying to work out why other HP printers work fine but our 8620 prints are not printing and going to Nil. The print server is hosted on a shared DC. Comparing to the initial posters details, for some reason
it seems to be most commonly related to the OfficeJet Pro 8600/8610/8620/8630 series printers.
I ended up doing a print server migration from the domain controller to stand alone host and all printers now work from a single server rather than a mix. Domain controller OSes varied from 2008, 2012, 2012 R2 (tested with multiple) and only after
all of those failed then tried a stand alone server os machine as a last resort which worked fine. Printing directly from Win 7 / 8 /8.1 clients to the IP always worked.

How to install device cals on Windows Server 2012 standard edition

Hello i have a windows server 2012 standard edition licence that i have taken on rent from an ISP.
i have created a domain controller on that.
By default only two users can use remote desktop to the server simultaneously.
My Requirement is 20 users can use remote desktop to the server at the same time.For that i have purchased 20 Delive CALs licences like volume licencing.
i have the licence number noted on the paper.
do i need to install remote desktop services first etc ?
Could anyone guide me step by step how can i install or configure so that 20 users can use remote desktop on the same time.

Hi,
Any update about the issue?
I would agree with others, you need to install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses.
There are three methods by which you can install Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) onto your license server:
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses Automatically
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses by Using a Web Browser
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses by Using the Telephone
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725890.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Then you can install both Per User and Per Device CALs onto the same license server.

Hi Mahesh Arban,
Sorry for my delay.
I can’t find the same hotfix for Windows Server 2012 Standard. So, we may need to do some troubleshootings
to narrow down this issue and solve it.
Please let me confirm if you have installed all updates for this Windows Server 2012 Standard. Meanwhile, please
use Sfc command to scans and verifies the integrity of all protected system files.
In addition, this issue caused to unexpected server reboot. So, please configure and then collect the dump
file to analysis. It may help us to find the root cause of this issue.

Windows Server 2012 Standard and Essentials User CAL's

I've been running Windows Server 2012 Essentials in an organization that until recently stayed within the 25 user 50 network device limit specified by the license. Eventually we've grown beyond that. Since the Server 2012 Essentials machine had a non-transferable
OEM license I decided not to waste it by doing an in-place migration to Server 2012 Standard, and instead set up a new server with freshly purchased Server 2012 R2 Standard and migrated Active Domain roles to it, leaving the original server as a part of a
fail-over cluster.
We purchased 30 User CAL's for the 2012 R2, as required for 25+ staff members.
Now I am curious. The 2 servers that we have right now (2012 R2 Standard and 2012 Essentials) both maintain the same Active Directory and manage the same pool of users and workstations. Does that mean that the primary server with 30 User CAL's takes dominance
and sets the limit as to how many people are allowed to access the network. Or does it become a combination of purchased 30 CAL's + 25 Users hard-wired into the 2012 Essential edition?
Do these servers have to run separate domains with segregated pools of users in order to be license compliant for 30+ users or can they exist within the same same domain preserving individual user limits? What if the 2012 Essentials server maintains
one office location with fewer than 25 staff and the Standard R2 2012 server runs another office with fewer than 30 staff, while both offices are linked via a VPN for the purpose of sharing 3rd party licenses? Do individual user limits apply, or is it still
30 users max?
To sum up the question, I'd like to know whether I'd need to buy more user CAL's when we reach more than 30 staff at 1 or possibly 2 office locations.
Oh, and the device limit! 2012 R2 Standard under user CAL licensing scheme has no machine limits. Essentials is always capped at 50. When running one active directory, what's the legally allowed number of devices on the network? I assume it's unlimited.
Thanks.

Thank you for the reply.
My question then is how to transition while preferably keeping both physical servers.
Should a 2012 Standard key be purchased additionally for an in-place transition of 2012 Essentials machine to 2012 Standard (which at this point is as good as a fresh install)? Until then, should the Essentials 2012 server be taken offline entirely?
What about the situation where I described both servers running segregated networks with their own pools of users, only connected via a VPN for 3rd party license sharing? Is that configuration supported?
Also, if the configurations is unsupported, why are the servers able to share roles in first place? Why isn't there a software mechanism preventing interaction? What configuration do the servers themselves assume is in place?
Thanks again.

Trouble with remote file sharing

Hi,
I'm trying to set up an iMac here in my office so that it can be used for remote file sharing. I'm kinda new at this, so I'm sure I've missed a few obvious details.
First off, it's connected via AirPort and there's no direct ethernet connection...I was told this shouldn't be a problem, but let me know if this is false.
I think I have all the right settings on Leopard - file sharing's turned, remote login is enabled, firewall's opened up, and even though there's a dynamic ip address, I've set up a hostname at Dynamic DNS, and I also downloaded their Updater, which seems to be working fine and has been updating the ip address for the hostname I've set up.
I also went into the router and opened up a file sharing port (a different number than 548, FWIW).
So far, only computers within the same network have been able to access this iMac. Outside of the network, it can't be reached. Whenever you punch in the hostname (or even the ip address for that matter) in "Connect to Server...," it attempts to connect, but eventually fails. I can't even get to the login prompt.
What else needs to be done? Any ideas? FWIW, all machines are Macbook Pros or iMacs running the latest Leopard.

A couple more details: right now I'm near a Mac network, and I do see two Macs under the "shared" tab in my finder window. And when I was at home I could see my G5 there, and was able to log into it from my Macbook. Also, my G5 is set to never sleep.

Remote file sharing questions

I'm trying to login to my G5, to share files, from a Macbook connected to the Internet via wireless (Airport Extreme card). It's not working, and I have a few questions. Help would be appreciated.
- I have a .mac account, and BTMM activated on both computers. Is this necessary for remote file sharing? IOW, what's the difference between using BTMM and using "File Sharing" in the Sharing panel?
- I'm trying to login using "connect to server" and the afp address of my G5. The address that shows in the G5 sharing panel is a variation of my router/modem's address. But there must be many other users with the same address--how does this work (the afp doesn't seem to be a unique IP address)?
- I've searched and haven't found a good site that describes in detail the differences between "file sharing" "remote login" "remote management" etc, and how to use them. Any suggesions?
If this helps at all, here's something I did in Terminal:
dns-sd -X udp 123 456 789
Timestamp if External Address Protocol Internal Port External Port TTL
19:01:49.410 0 0.0.0.0 16 123 0 0
Also, if anyone has suggestions on making my remote connection happen, I'd love to hear it. I'm trying to access files from my G5, and I'm away--this isn't a LAN.
thanks.
