  • Mouse not working in Virtual machine (win2k3 32 and 64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies

    I have installed two virtual machines(win2k3 32bit and win2k3 64bit ) on Windows Server 2008 RC1 With Hyper-V Technologies (Beta) enterprise. Mouse is getting lost inside VM (using CTRL+ ATL +  LEFT ARROW  comes mouse control control in host OS).
    Is there any setting to make mouse works? Insert Integration Serice setup Disk operation succeeds.

     all credits for mike_something
    The problem is that the old mousedriver is hooked to the mouse device class.
    To remove this dependency, go into the registry and navigate to the key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Remove the value msvmmouf from the UpperFilters Regvalue.
    Reboot....
    tadaaa!!
    If you wish you can take out the drivers completely by deleting these registry hives completely :
    The driver:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\msvmmouf
    The Service:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VPCMap
    The CopyHook Shell Extension: ( for folder access )
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{30C14BA C-122C-42ED-B319-1139DBF48EB8}\InProcServer32
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\CopyHookHandle rs\VPCCopyHook
    After a reboot you can delete the "Virtual Machine Additions" folder from program files...
    Good Luck!

  • [Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

    We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
    Analysis
    Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
    is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report: 
    Figure 1.
    In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
    Produces
    You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
    1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
    1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
    2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
    We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
    After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
    Method 1: Using Server Manager
    1) Open Server Manager, click
    Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
    Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
    2) In Features,
    uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
    There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
    You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
    “Import-Module ServerManager”
    “Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
    or
    “Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
    It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.

  • I can not update a Windows Server 2008 R2 with Software Update Group in SCCM2012

    Hi all,
    I got some problems with update deployments these days.
    I try to configure SCCM2012 to update 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 (with Hyper-V / This server is in a cluster)
    Actually i've 4 other Hyper-V servers and i would like to add one more in the cluster called Hyper-V5. To do that i need that all Hyper-V servers use the same Windows Updates.
    I created a collection for my Hyper-V servers and then a Software Update Group with all needed updates (checked the list of another HV-Server).
    I did a deployment on this collection using this new Software Update Group.
    I checked the Sofwtare Center's logs on the Hyper-V5 server and i saw that synchronization has a successfull state.
    But there is no updates installed or displayed in Sofwtare Center.
    Here is some screenshots : Oh no i can't post image because ... "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account." waiting to be verified since months.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Have you try to run Software Updates Scan Cycle and Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle Actions on the client? Please check ScanAgent.log and PolicyAgent.log to see whether the client received the updates deployment policy.
    Best Regards,
    Joyce Li

  • Is DTS supported in SQL server 2008 R2 with Compatibility level 100?

    We have a DTS package which executes one stored procedure.
    We have recently switched SQL server compatibility level from 80 to 100. 
    On Compatibility level 80 it was working fine.
    When i switched the level to 100, and executes DTS it shows successfully executed but stored procedure doenot really executed.
    When i execute stored procedure in query analyzer it executed successfully and results were as expected.
    Please let me know Is DTS supported in SQL server 2008 R2 with Compatibility level 100?

    We have just implemented DTS packages on SQL2008R2 using the Backward Compatibility Tools (serarch for SQLServer2005_BC.msi)
    You need the files:
    SQLServer2005_BC.msi or SQLServer2005_BC_x64.msi
    and SQLServer2005_DTS.msi
    After you install these, perform the following -
    1) To integrate DTS Designer with SSMS:
    Copy the files SEMSFC.DLL, SQLGUI.DLL, and SQLSVC.DLL
    from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
    to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE
    Copy the files SEMSFC.RLL, SQLGUI.RLL, and SQLSVC.RLL
    from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033
    to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033
    2) To integrate DTS Designer with BIDS:
    Copy the files SEMSFC.DLL, SQLGUI.DLL, and SQLSVC.DLL
    from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
    to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
    Copy the files SEMSFC.RLL, SQLGUI.RLL, and SQLSVC.RLL
    from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033
    to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033

    Hello Scott,
    The Visual Studio 2012 SDK need Visual Studio 2012 but not Visual Studio 2013. Please make sure you will use Visual Studio 2012 on your OS.
    Here are the system requirement of that:
    Supported Operating System
                        Windows 7 Service Pack 1; Windows 8; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2012                
    Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
    Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
    Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
    Windows Server 2012 (x64)
    Hardware Requirements:
    1.6 GHz or faster processor
    1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
    300 MB of available hard disk space
    5400 RPM hard drive
    DirectX 9-capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher display resolution
    Prerequisites:
    Visual Studio Professional 2012 or higher
    Here higher means Visual Studio 2012 higher version, for example, Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.
    If you want Visual Studio 2013 to work, I think you need to install the Visual Studio 2013 SDK.
    Best regards,
    Barry

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 with Tools Evaluation Copy

    Hello,
    Is the SQL Server 2008 R2 software (SSMS, BIDS) still available for evaluation download?  I was only able to find the Express edition, but I cannot open my solutions using Express.  I tried to upgrade Express to Evaluation, but I get the below
    error.
    Rule Check Result
    Rule "SQL Server 2008 R2 edition upgrade" failed.
    The selected SQL Server instance does not meet upgrade matrix requirements.
    OK   
    Thank you - Brett

    Hello,
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Evaluation Edition seems no longer available on Microsoft Download as you can see on the following link:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8158
    However, if you are a MSDN subscriber you can download the full media of any paid edition of SQL Server 2008 R2, run SQL Server setup and choose Evaluation Edition
    on the “Product Key” page of SQL Server setup.
    Hope this helps.

    I have Windows server 2008 R2 Standard edition (64-bit) and trying to install SQL server 2008 express edition since I do not have SQL server 2008. When I install it I am unable to see Management Studio so I am trying to install management studio as well
    but still I am facing issue. Please let me know whether SQL server 2008 express edition is compatible with  Windows server 2008 R2 Standard. If not then pls let me know the proper steps to install it.

    Hello,
    Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2008 is required to be compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2.
    Please download QL Server 2008 Express with SP1 included from the following link:

  • Unable to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 SP1

    I'm encountering error after error, after successfully installing the upgrade advisor (which took some doing) and running it with essentially no warnings/errors (the one warning was on the connection strings, as I recall -- and all of the warnings had a
    "fix after" status.
    First failure involved SSRS and the inability to create the "managed account". Backed out the upgrade using http://sqldbanotes.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-fix-failed-in-place.html
    Now the failure involves SSAS and unable to connect to analysis services with name MSSQLServerOLAPService.  That is the logical name for the service, although it shows up as just MSSQLServer when looking at it in the services list.  I tried
    setting the service account to a local account as  well as to Local System -- did not make a difference, the upgrade couldn't apparently find it regardless.
    Has anybody successfully done an in place upgrade from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012?

  • How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012

    How to restore SQL Server 2008 database to SQL Server Express 2012.
    I BACKED UP a SQL Server 2008 database from work, which runs the enterprise version of 2008, and I tried to RESTORE it to my new 64-Bit home PC which is running the new SQL Server Express 2012 64-Bit (Advanced Edition).
    But if fails. I get the following message text.
    Can anyone help me please. I thought restoring a 2008 database to the later version 2012 would be possible.
    Here is the error message. Thanks.
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Restore of database failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version 8.00.2039. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 11.00.3128. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a
    backup that is compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)

    Are you sure your database is SQL server 2008 from error message it seems your SQL server version is 2000.I guess you have multiple versions of SQL server.
    AFAIK you cannot restore backup of SQL server 2000 to 2012 directly .Restore it first to SQL 2008/2008R2 or 2005 then take backup again of new database created and then you would be able to restore it on 2012.Its kind of intermediate way
    Also make sure your DB size is less than 10 G as max DB size supported by Express edition is 10 G and if your DB size is more than 10 G restore will fail.
    You are also trying to restore enterprise DB backup on express edition so you will loose enterprise features on express edition

  • Proxy Server 3.6 with Identity Server 5.1!

    Hi All,
    I'm doing a Proof of Concept on integrating Identity Server 5.1 with proxy server 3.6. The proxy server is configured as a reverse proxy for another web server (since the web server is not supported by agent pack).
    I've configured the reverse proxy and add the agent to the proxy. However, each time after auth. in the Identity server and return back to the reverse proxy, it'll go to http://rproxy.domain.com/.domain.com not http://rproxy.domain.com.
    Moreover, even the user session is invalid, the user can go to the reverse proxy without re-auth even I've disable all the cache in the proxy server.
    Is it possible to use reverse proxy with identity server? If yes, how to config?
    Thanks
