Run hyper-v on physical machine with server 2012

I currently am running windows 8.1 with several 8.1 hyper-v clients. I am about to have to do a new install of the host os because i am getting a new faster drive. The convenience and speed of backing up and moving hyper-v clients to different systems is
so easy i was hoping i could take advantage of it for the future. i would also like to use some of the functions of windows only available in the server edition of windows. as a dreamspark student you can get a free copy of windows server 2012. I have not
set up a windows server, but i have run a Linux and bsd one. I only have 1 physical machine. Does it make sense at all to install windows server 2012 and then have all of my working systems be hyper-v clients? i play games and have a nice graphics card. the
clients i don't think use them directly, but would use it via the host i think. I also use visual studio for app dev and i beliebe VS installs a Virtual like machine for windows phone. Can i do this? what would it prevent me from doing that i currently
do? is there a better way to go about this? maybe do the reverse and run the server in hyper-v? thanks

Personally I'd say it depends mainly on what you want to do with the desktop side of your machine. You certainly could install Server 2012 onto your desktop, and from reviews I've seen it's far more suited to being used on a desktop setup than previous server
versions. You still have to do some additional work to enable some of the functionality you'd normally have on a desktop, but which would never be found on a server, but it is more plausible now. There's a bit of a discussion here of the possible issues and
gotchas
http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/7520-windows-r8-windows-2012-server-makes-great-laptop-os.html which cover some of the main things you'd need to do.
If you're just looking to play with Windows Server and the functionality you're looking to use isn't Hyper-V related then I'd probably go with simply making the Windows Server 2012 another instance on your existing setup, eg within Hyper-V on your 8.1 desktop.
There's no real difference between hyper-v on windows 8 and server 2012 so that side of things doesn't make a difference, and windows 8 is quite capable of handling server vm's (I've got 12 VM's running on my windows 8 desktop, and none of them are client
OS's).
The main thing which would dissuade me from installing Server 2012 on a desktop is support for other desktop applications. If you're planning to continue using the machine as a desktop, and especially if you play games on it, you're bound to hit issues
with compatibility at some point. Not legitimate compatibility, more situations where some apps will try to detect the OS you're running, and either not recognise the server OS and refuse to install, or recognise it and refuse to install as they're only designed
/ licenced to be install on a client OS. Some apps which are free to use on a client installation for instance require a licence for use on a server (since it's assumed to be commercial installation).

  • About 2 clusters installed on 2 physical machines with BPEL v10.1.3.3

    Hi, guys,
    I have a customer which wants to install 2 separated active-active clusters into 2 physical machines with BPEL v10.1.3.3. The topology is listed below:
    Cluster1:
    OS User: oraadmin
    Instances:
    Instance1 (node1): Physical Machine1 (admin port:7777)
    Instance2 (node2): Physical Machine2
    Multicast: 236.2.2.2:5678
    Cluster2:
    OS User: oraadmin
    Instances:
    Instance1 (node3): Physical Machine1
    Instance2 (node4): Physical Machine2 (admin port:7777)
    Multicast: 235.1.1.5 5555
    Cluster1 and Cluster2 are shared with same database: DB_BPEL.
    When I try to deploy applications into the two clusters, I got an issue on Cluster2. There is no problem in Cluster1. But for Cluster2, I cannot find orabpel in the Parent Application list. Actually I have tried re-install many times, but it still cannot work.
    So my question is that is this topology feasible? I am not sure whether BPEL supports this topology. As I know WebLogic server supports this topology. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Could you confirm if you have completed 1.6 steps successfully?
    Is the process deploying fine and able to see the instance created on console ? Able to see the tasks created for the user on worklist app console ? 10.1.3.4 + any MLR ?

    Thanks, is it not possible via any script also?
    Like Torsten said, how can you tell the difference between CM12 installed applications and locally installed? Once you can answer that, then you can write report.

  • Building a Hyper-V Cluster with Server 2012 R2

    I'm building a 3 node Hyper-V cluster with Server 2012 R2.  I create the cluster but the report is telling me I should configure a disk witness as a best practice.  Do I need that with a 3 node cluster.  In 2008 R2, 3 nodes give me node majority
    and I'm good to go.
    Thanks
    SMaximus7

    True, but Windows Server 2012 introduced a dynamic quorum capability.  When you have an odd number of nodes in the cluster, you really don't need to have a witness to ensure availabilty.  But with the witness what happens is that if you lose a
    node a witness comes in, so there are three quorum votes - one for each surviving node and the witness.  Then, if another node fails, the cluster will continue to be operational because now you have the witness and the surviving node to maintain quorum.
    Not absolutely needed, but a real nice to have.  And, since it just takes such a small disk for a disk witness, or a file share for a file share witness, there is no really reason not to include it.

  • How do I do a Windows 7 restore as a Hyper-V clent with Server 2012 Essentials R2?

    How do I do a Windows 7 restore as a Hyper-V client with Server 2012 Essentials R2?  There is no client restore CD available as an ISO to mount as the CD.
    Scott

    Hi,
    As we know, to simplify the bare metal restore scenario, we implemented the Client Restore Service in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, which will enable WDS on the Windows Server Essentials
    server and configure the client restore image as a boot image. With the Client Restore Service turned on, the administrator can initiate a PXE boot on a client computer by using a network interface to launch the Client Restore Wizard and restore the client
    computer. There’s no need to prepare a client restore DVD, or a client restore USB bootable key. For details about how to perform the client restore, please refer to the following article.

  • How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?

    I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
    I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
    Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
    Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?

    Hi,
    You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
    If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times.  If you want I will look for it and post a link.
    -TP
    I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work.  And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.

  • Virtual Copy of Physical Machine MS Server 2008 R2 Standard Genuine issue

    I have created a cirtual copy of a physical machine to conduct software upgrade testing in a SCADA system.
    My copy of Windows server 2008 R2 Standard is no longer genuine.
    I tried to buy a copy online, but it is no longer availiable on the website from Microsoft according to the Chat I had in the website.
    How can I get this copy genuine?

    Several vendors still have OEM versions for sale. If you can get your testing done inside of 180 days then evaluation version may work.

  • Can't launch Virtual Machines in Hyper-V after sysprep on host (Server 2012)

    Hi all!
    I am setting up lab environments for official Microsoft Cources. I just took a new approach which is to prepare a machine with all the VMs in Hyper-V, basically I set up the whole virtual machine environment ready-to-go, then the last thing is to sysprep
    the machine and then roll it out to a whole classroom.
    Acording to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2249906, this has to do with the /generalize-switch of sysprep, which is doing some spooky with SIDs that is all logical.
    My question is, how can I make sure that all the VMs in the image can start up properly after the redeployment of the image?
    Below is the error-msg when trying to start the virtual machine after sysprep on the host:

    You should re-import the VMs on new hosts that have been deployed from a sysprepped image.  This is due to the unique security GUIDs set on each VHD which can't be re-used on a duplicate host.

  • Run sql 2008 ssis package into sql server 2012 machine

    Hello,
    I have created a ssis package in sql server 2008 and use a job to execute it pointing to databaseA. works fine.
    Then, I place that package into a sql server 2012 machine and use a job to execute it in the same database, databaseA.
    The error I get is something like:
    can not use the old version in the new version machine.
    Is this really the case or am I doing something wrong please?

    Hi Arkiboys,
    Arthur is right that the error occurs because the SSIS 2008 package cannot be upgraded to SSIS 2012 package. When the SSIS 2008 package is called by SSIS 2012 dtexec utility tool, the package will be upgraded temporarily and the changes won’t be saved. Since
    your current SSIS 2008 package cannot be upgraded automatically, you can create the package from scratch in SSDT installed by SQL Server 2010. Another option isto open the SSIS 2008 package in SSDT or add the package to a SSIS 2012 project, then the upgrade
    will be performed automatically. Then, you can check the error message during the upgrade, which may help you to find the tasks/components that cause the upgrade failure. In this way, you can remove the tasks/components in question from the SSIS 2008 package
    and then upgrade the package, and then add the tasks/components in question in SSDT 2010.

  • Hyper V VMMS Event ID 10172 server 2012 R2

    Hi,
    Recently setup a brand new 2012 R2 server, using hyper v to host 3 VM's, backing up with backup exec 2014.The backups are failing, backup exec stating...
    V-79-40960-38521 -
    Snapshot Technology: Initialization failure on: "VRTSRV::\\UKBNHV01.ProCam.local\Hyper-V?Virtual?Machine\UKBNDC01". Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
    A virtual machine snapshot could not be created. Use the Event Viewer on the Hyper-V host to identify the cause. If the virtual machine is not properly configured, it may be necessary to use the Event Viewer in the virtual machine to
    identify the cause.
    Looking at the Hyper V VMMS event viewer I get the error:
    VSS writers inside virtual machine 'UKBNIT01' failed to perform BackupComplete to its shadow copy (VSS snapshot) set: Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF). (Virtual machine ID 7C31CD39-FFAD-4E04-BF92-223BC120BE1B) event ID 10172
    I see there are other posts relating to this, with random answers suggesting fixes relating to disk speeds and all sorts. If i restart the hyper v's and physical server the backup will run maybe 2 or 3 times successfully before failing again. Clearly buying
    a server to restart it every 2 days isn't an option.
    It seems apparent this isn't just a problem relating to server 2012 R2, but has carried across in all newer versions of windows server.

    Is anyone able to explain how to trace why the Hyper-V VSS Writer gets the retryable error?
    Thanks
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    You could use diskshadow command to clean up the orphaned snapshots to bring the Hyper-V VSS Writer back to a stable condition.
    Diskshadow (press enter)
    delete shadows all (press enter)
    Firstly, please check if you can do a backup with Windows Server Backup. In additional, please check if there is a Read Only Volume attached to VMs. If so, removed the flag read only volume to check if the backup works.

  • SQL Server 2012 DB Engine does not start (clean install with server 2012 and 2008 R2)

    I'm trying to do clean installation of SQL server 2012 on Server 2012 (which is runnning as a VM on ESX server) and getting this "wait on the DB engine recovery failed" message. Initially, I though this issue was related to some permission issues
    but changing the permission or service accounts didn't help. I'm not seeing any "denied" messages in the log files either. Even with Server 2008 R2 (clean built VM), the installation gives the exactly the same error messages. 
    My setup is purely for test purpose; so, the security is not a concern. Can someone help or give me a clue where to look?

    Hi Nababoya:
    As you are telling this is a test installation process...
    In the logs i m seeing the error message "An error occurred while processing the log for database 'model'.  If possible, restore from backup. If a backup is not available, it might be necessary to rebuild the log.".
    1) If the SQL Services was installed successfully and SQL Service was not able to start because of model database issue...
        1.1) If you have model database SQL back file, start the SQL Server in single user mode with minimum configuration and try to restore MODEL database
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverfaq/archive/2011/05/11/inf-hey-my-sql-server-service-is-not-starting-what-do-i-do.aspx
        1.2) If you don't have backups., try to rebuild the system databases but make sure that you are not losing any data critical data on master and SQL Jobs on MSDB
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207003%28v=sql.110%29.aspx#RebuildProcedure
    2) As if this is a new installation try to repair the instance with the help of setup media file
    3) If the repair option fails., the last option wipe out the complete SQL Server components from Services.msc and Registries and start new installation.
    4) Make sure when you are doing un-installation all the required SQL Server components on services.msc should be in stop state.
    Hope this helps and let me know any questions...
    Thanks,
    Thanks, Satish Kumar. Please mark as this post as answered if my anser helps you to resolves your issue :)

  • Log into a virtual machine on server 2012 r2 datacenter from a windows 8.1 client login

    Hello,
    I have set up a VPN on Windows Server 2012 r2 Datacenter using Hyper-V. Everything seems to be functioning ok using the Hyper V platform. I would like to know if it is possible to connect to a virtual machine on the VPN from a Windows 8.1 client using the
    widows login and if it is then how to go about it. If I could have some links to tutorials etc I would be greatful. I have not been able to find anything and I have been looking for days. I would really appreciate some assistance. Thanks in advance.
    Ed

    Hi Ed,
    I am sorry to say that I am not quite sure of your requirement. Is the Windows Server 2012 R2 computer a host server in Hyper-V? Did you mean that you want to RDP into a Hyper-V VM from a Windows 8.1 client? If yes, you need to allow Remote Desktop Connections
    in guest OS. The network adapter type must allow communication with host machine and network discovery mode and the services supporting network discovery mode must be turned on.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • Configure Hyper V Failover Cluster on Window Server 2012 R2

    I have 3 node cluster of hyper v and configured csv all machine working fine but after run backup machines get paused, so i have removed backup agent, during starting one virtual machine csv volume get un accessible and all machine pertain to that csv get
    offline. subjected are the errors.
    Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume2' ('Volume2') is no longer accessible from this cluster node because of error '(1460)'. Please troubleshoot this node's connectivity to the storage device and network connectivity.
    Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume2' ('Volume2') has entered a paused state because of '(c0000015)'. All I/O will temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished.
    after troubleshooting i found a patch for the related issue but its not working for window server 2012 R2,
    Windows8-RT-KB2838669-x64: its not running so kindly assist how to get this fix.
    Talha Faraz Malik

    Hi TFMalik,
    "To avoid CSV failovers, you may have to make additional changes to the computer after you install the hotfix. For example, you may be experiencing the issue described in the "Symptoms" section because of the lack of hardware support
    for Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX). This causes delays when the operating system queries for hardware support during I/O requests.
    In this situation, disable ODX by changing the FilterSupportedFeaturesMode value for the storage device that does not support ODX to
    1 "

  • Having trouble switching from Core to GUI with Server 2012...

    Hello,
    I am currently in the early stages of studying for the MCSA - Windows Server 2012 R2 and I'm playing around with an Eval copy of Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter.  I have two separate installs where one is the Full - GUI install and the other is Server
    Core.  I've learned in my studies that it is possible to switch back and forth between Core and GUI through Powershell cmdlets.
    Right now I'm trying to switch from Server Core to GUI and I'm using the following Powershell command:
           Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra, Server-Gui-Shell
    It starts off like it's going to work but then after about 68% of the way through, I get this:
         Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.
         Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed.
         The source files could not be downloaded.
         Use the "source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more
         information on specifying a source location, see XXXXXX. Error: 0x800f0906
         At line:1 char:1
         + Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra, Server-Gui-Shell
         + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
              + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (@{Vhd=; Credent...Name=localhost}:PSObject) [Install-WindowsFeature],
              Exception
             + FullyQualifiedErrorId :       DISMAPI_Error__Cbs_Download_Failure,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddWindowsF
       eatureCommand
    Any ideas?  I installed this Server Core image on a Hyper-V Virtual Machine (using Generation 2), allocating 4GB RAM and 65GB HDD space.  I haven't done anything with .Net Framework and I haven't configured the network at all.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi SLONER,
    You need use the -source option on a non-Internet connected machine.
    PLease try the script below:
    Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart –Source c:\mountdir\windows\winsxs
    And follow this thread:
    PowerShell to Add GUI to Server Core (ServerCore-FullServer)
    I hope this helps.

  • Issue with Server 2012 RDS roles

    I have a Server 2012 system where the Remote Desktop Services roles were installed manually, not using Remote Desktop Services Installation. This was picked up because of the licensing errors which popup from time to time. From what I have read, it is not
    possible to fix the licensing issues without installing the RDS roles correctly.
    I have tried to uninstall the roles but Server Manager hangs with an empty progress bar and never completes the task.
    I have run Remote Desktop Services installation, but it fails as the roles are already installed. The error message is "Failed to open the runspace pool. The Server Manager WinRM plug-in might be corrupted or missing."
    I am reluctant to reload the operating system and start again, as various pieces of software have already been installed. Is there a way to successfully remove the RDS roles or successfully run the RDS installation wizard with the roles already installed?

    Hi FissioPB, could you give us a reference about how to detect and remove the internet filter?
    I´ve tried the following, but the same issue “Failed to open the runspace pool. The Server Manager 
    WinRM plug-in might be corrupted or missing" and "ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT" events.
    netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1
    netsh http add iplisten ::1
    "netsh winhttp show proxy"
    netsh winhttp reset proxy
    Block GPOs
    Any advice could be helpful. Thanks!!
