Safe Mode In server 2012

Hi, 
I am facing a problem in safe mode. Today I test safe mode option in 2012 server, when i enabled it and restart the server  it always opening in safe mode. I disable safe mode and try to hit  f8 key again but it is not opening in safe mode. 
Why? Because i did not check on safe mode option. 
Now my question is- If some how my server is not booting in normal mode due to any software reason or  hardware reason and i want to open it in safe mode. How it would be open in safe mode whereas i did not enable safe mode. 
If the safe mode can be enable in only normal mode than how we can troubleshoot the problem?
May be my question could be wrong.
Please let me know how it works ......
Thanks

Hi,
To enable Safe Mode, please try the following:
1. If you can boot into Windows, please open a privileged command prompt.
2. If not, please boot into recovery mode and run command prompt.
3. In the command prompt, please input
Bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes
4. Once completed, please restart your computer, then press F8 to enter setup screen upon startup,
then press F4 or 4 to enter safemode.

  • Error rsItemNotFound when using ReportingService2010 endpoint in SharePoint Mode (SQL Server 2012 & SP2013)

    Hi all,
    I installed SQL Server 2012 in SharePoint Mode, with SharePoint 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 virtual machine. The issue occurs when I try to use the ListChildren operation of the ReportService2010 endpoint.
    It manages to connect to the server, but it refuses to list any children. Here's the code I'm using:
    using System;
    using System.Net;
    internal class Test
    public static void Main()
    var rs = new ReportingService2010
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "machine")
    CatalogItem[] items = null;
    // Retrieve a list of all items from the report server database.
    try
    items = rs.ListChildren("/", true);
    catch (Exception e)
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    When executed, this code throws an exception (which is caught and displayed) : "The item '/' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)"
    The same code works (i.e. does not throw any exception and the items variable contains some CatalogItem) when used against a SQL Server 2012 configured in native mode.
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe the first parameter shouldn't be "/" but something else?
    Thanks for your help

    I'm getting this error as well.  My test software is connecting to two different servers; one is running on SharePoint 2010 and I have no problems using the ReportingService2010 functions on that, but I am getting this same error when trying to connect
    to a service on SharePoint 2013.

  • IE 11 does not open in desktop mode on Server 2012 R2

    We've built our first 2012 R2 servers. IE11 will open in metro if it's not set for desktop mode. It will fail in desktop mode. It will however open if you go to an admin command prompt, go to c:\program files\internet explorer and run iexplore.exe. When
    trying desktop mode in the event app logs, event ID 102, task category (101) appears with the message "the program iexplore.exe version 11.0.9600.16518 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed". I have tried everything I've found using Google:
    reset, use software rendering, etc and nothing helped. Any suggestions?
    Ben JohnsonWY

    Hi Ben,
    Your issue can occur if the IE setting is incorrect, or the temp folder need clear up. If you are not choose Always in Internet Explorer on the desktop, IE may use Metro mode. Also disable enhanced protected mode for a test.
    This issue may cause due to some registry problems occurred.
    To resolve this issue, follow the below steps:
    a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
    b. Type regsvr32 actxprxy.dll in the Open box, and then click OK.
    c. If the command was successfully executed, you will receive the message ‘DllRegisterServer in actxprxy.dll succeeded’ window.
    d. Restart the Internet Explorer
    If the above given steps also did not help then try to disable the antivirus and firewall and try installing Internet Explorer 11 manually.
    Hope it helps.

  • Windows 2008 Server boot loop and unable to log on in Safe mode

    The Situation: I used msconfig to reboot Windows 2008 Server r2 into safe mode. On rebooting, boot progresses ok and the log in screen appears very quickly, then disappears and the machine reboots. I've tried typing the password very quickly and whether
    I get it wrong or just can't get enough typed in time, I don't know, but the reboot loop continues. So, i can't log on and can't change safe boot back to normal.
    I know Server 2008 uses bcdedit and no longer has a boot.ini, so I don't know if it is still possible manually to amend a boot file so it starts in normal mode again. Can anyone help me to break out of this boot loop without having to resort to anything
    major, such as reinstallation?
    Just to make clear, I haven't updated the system and the only change made was with msconfig to require safe boot on restarting.
    Thanks

    from the safemode try this syntax
    Syntax: bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot

    How on earth is that a good answer?  Sorry for the necrosis here of bringing up a post 9 months later, but I just ran in to this issue again.  The OP said that he was STUCK IN A BOOT LOOP having placed himself in SAFEMODE already.
    How is he supposed to type this in if he can't log in?
    What worked for me was to keep striking F8 like a cobra during boot and telling it to use the Last Known Good Configuration option, after the 4th autoreboot, it let me log in and let me switch it back out of the safe mode and back to the normal boot. Yes,
    I am aware this is quite lucky and now I don't have to rebuild all my server set up, and that your mileage may vary here, but, keep trying, you might be lucky.

  • Logic pro 9 additional content won't install and iMac 27" late 2012 won't start in Safe Mode

    Hi,
    I have bought Logic Pro 9 and have encountered problems installing the Additional Content pack. I am using late 2012 iMac 27" (with fusion 3TB drive) and OS X Mavericks (10.9.1).
    For some reason the Additional Content pack does not install when downloaded from Logic Pro menu and it does not install either when using the .dmg file. I noticed that many users are facing the same problem, but they have resolved the issue installing the Additional Content in Safe Mode. However, my iMac does not boot in Safe Mode (other users are encountering this annoying problem and it remains unresolved by Apple, see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5485131?start=0&tstart=0).
    This is extremely frustating, because I am using my iMac for my work and therefore it is impossible to backup my data reinstall the OS X. Additionally, I am using the computer for my music projects and I am completely stuck, because I cannot use insrument patches that I need.
    Does anyone have solution for this?

    Install on my Core2Duo 17" MacBook Pro went flawlessly, but install on my 8 Core Mac Pro suffered this problem.  Many thanks for the solution Don, it worked for me ;-)
    I am trying hard to supress an ironic chuckle though, reading other posts in this thread .... suggesting that people should call Apple Tech Support and expressing incredulity that people weren't doing this as their first option.
    Well I can say say that after several calls to Apple Tech Support, amounting to several hours on the phone, and well over an hour on the phone with them today, I was informed that this problem is a known bug, and that Apple are working on a solution.  They couldn't tell me what the bug is, what machines are affected, or what else might trigger it, or when a bug release might be due.
    Their troubleshooting steps basically involved various reboots, repairing disc permissions, reseting the user home directory via terminal, booting up in recovery mode (but not safe mode as per this solution) trashing various preferences files, and, as a final step, uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch.
    Only when all that failed was I told that there is a known bug that Apple are working on.
    I came here to see what the community was saying, as the Tech Support guy did say there was likely to be some info on the forums.  Lo and behold, a solution is posted and it works.
    Why are Apple's Tech Support (in the UK at least) not aware of this?
    Oh well, at least I'm up and running on my Mac Pro now.
    Thanks again Don,
    Cheers,
    Nigel

  • New install ZH77A-G43 with cloned Server 2003 won't boot in Safe mode

    Hello,
    I just installed a ZH77A-G43 into an existing PC box, new Core i3, new SATA CD and 500G drive, existing tape backup connected to a SCSI card. I cloned the new harddrive into 2 partitions, the first one being a bootable Server 2003. I installed the harddrive on another computer, and the partitions appear to be cloned correctly. When I boot off the new drive in the new hardware computer it gets to the Server 2003 splash screen, and then reboots during processing of acpitabl.dat (this is in Safe mode). I've tried booting from a Server 2003 installation CD, and that also results in a reboot.
    I tried removing the SCSI card, and that results in a reboot before the MSI splash screen comes up.
    This is the first time I've done a hardware change like this. The MSI instructions were very simple to follow and I was exciding to see the Server 2003 splashscreen after about 30 minutes of hardware installation. But now I'm stuck and request your help.
    Regards, Philip

    Hello xmad,
    Thanks for the suggestions. The CD that wouldn't boot is Server 2003 64 bit--no service pacts. I just tried my VISTA CD and it came up and was ready to start the installation. The hardware is
    Seagate 500G harddrive connected to SATA2
    LG OEM DVDRW 24X internal connected to SATA1
    2 sticks of DDR3 2GB 1333MHz
    Quantum DLT-V4 tape backup drive connected to SCSI card
    PSU is enclosed in a case labeled ANTEC DESIGN and I can't see any infor unless I take apart the enclosure.
    I just removed the SCSI card, and the system reboots immediately after 1 second or so of the MSI splashscreen. With the SCSI card in, it reboots during the Server 2003 splashscreen (during processing of acpitabl.dat).
    Should this system be compatible with Server 2003 64bit?
    Should I next update the BIOS as you previously suggested?
    Update: I currectly have BIOS E7758IMS V1.7

  • RDL Reports are not working after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 in the SharePoint integration Mode

    I am using Reporting Service Integration mode with SharePoint. SSRS is installed on separated machine of SharePoint stacks in Integration Mode. Everything was working properly and I could create/edit/modify RDL reports(parameters, Datasource, Subscription)
    inside SharePoint and Document Libraries.
    But after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2, on opening RDL reports inside SharePoint I receive this error message. 
    The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation
    I should mention that SSRS is installed in the SharePoint integration Mode and there is no SSRS management console.

    Hi Hedayat-Abedijoo,
    According to your description, you are using Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated mode, and everything worked fine before you install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2. After the package is installed, when you open RDL reports, the error occurred: The
    permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation.
    According to my search, there may be two reasons for the problem:
    This is caused when the application pool account that runs the SharePoint Web application you are on in IIS and the application pool account that SharePoint believes is running the site differ. This happens if the application pool account is changed directly
    in IIS instead of through SharePoint (using the approved method).
    This error can be caused when Kerberos authentication has been set up correctly and delegation in a double hop scenario will succeed, but Reporting Services integration has been set up for Trusted Account rather than Windows Authentication. This causes
    SharePoint to continue to impersonate the logged-on user when contacting Reporting Services; when Reporting Services compares the application pool account to the user account making the request, they are not equal.
    In this case, we can solve the problem by changing the application pool account in IIS back to the previous account and set AuthenticationTypes to RSWindowsNTLM only. For detail information, please refer to 8.3 “The permissions granted to user 'Domain\User'
    are insufficient for performing this operation” in the document:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee384252(SQL.100).aspx

  • SQL Server 2012 Report Server mode is blank?

    Hi, I have configured SharePoint 2013 with SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012
    with complete features on the same server.
    But when I checked Report Server mode under Report Service Configuration Manager it’s
    showing blank means Report Server mode neither in native mode nor in SharePoint integrated mode.
    What is the issue?
    I want
    Report Server mode should be in SharePoint integrated mode.

    You need to install the Reporting Services - SharePoint feature from the SQL Server installation media onto the SharePoint server. You then need to start the Service Instances in Manage Services on Server and create a new SSRS Service Application in Manage
    Service Applications.

  • Windows Server 2012/2012R2 NIC Teaming Mode

    Hi,
    Question 1:
    In Windows Server 2012 the following teaming mode was recommended for Hyper-V NIC teams:
    Teaming mode: Switch Independent
    Load balancing mode: Hyper-V Port
    All Adapers Active
    In a session at TechEd 2014 it was stated that Dynamic is the new recommendation for Windows Server 2012 R2. However, a Microsoft PFE stated a few weeks ago that he would still recommend Hyper-V Port for Windows Server 2012 R2. What is your opinions around
    this?
    Question 2:
    We have a Hyper-V Failover Cluster which isn`t migrated to 2012 R2 yet, it`s running 2012. In this cluster we use Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port for the team. We also use converged networking, having 2 physical adapters bound to the NIC team, as well as
    3 virtual adapters in the management OS for management, CSV and Live Migration. Recently one of the team NICs failed, and this incident also caused the cluster membership on the affected node to go offline even though the other team NIC was
    connected. Is this expected behaviour? Would the behaviour be different if 2012 R2 with Dynamic mode was being used?

    Hello,
    As for question number 1:
    For Hyper-V workload it's recommended to use Dynamic with
    Switch Independent mode. Why?
    This configuration will distribute the load based on the TCP Ports address hash as modified by the Dynamic load balancing algorithm. The Dynamic load balancing algorithm will redistribute flows to optimize team member bandwidth utilization so individual
    flow transmissions may move from one active team member to another.  The algorithm takes into account the small possibility that redistributing traffic could cause out-of-order delivery of packets so it takes steps to minimize that possibility.
    The receive side, however, will look identical to Hyper-V Port distribution.  Each Hyper-V switch port’s traffic, whether bound for a virtual NIC in a VM (vmNIC) or a virtual NIC in the host (vNIC), will see all its inbound traffic arriving on a single
    NIC.
    This mode is best used for teaming in both native and Hyper-V environments except when:
    1) Teaming is being performed in a VM,
    2) Switch dependent teaming (e.g., LACP) is required by policy, or
    3) Operation of a two-member Active/Standby team is required by policy. 
    As for question number 2:
    The Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port will send packets using all active team members distributing the load based on the Hyper-V switch port number.  Each Hyper-V port will be bandwidth limited to not more than one team member’s bandwidth because the port
    is affinitized to exactly one team member at any point in time. 
    In all cases where this configuration was recommended back in Windows Server 2012 the new configuration in 2012 R2, Switch Independent/Dynamic, will provide better performance.
    Microsoft recommend for a clustered Hyper-V deployment
    in Windows server 2012 to use Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port as you mentioned and to configure
    Hyper-V QoS that applies to the virtual switch. (Configure minimum bandwidth in
    weight mode instead of in bits per second and Enable and configure QoS
    for all virtual network adapters 
    Did you apply QoS on the Converged vSwitch after you
    created the team?? However Nodes are considered down if they do not respond to 5 heartbeats. The Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port does not cause the cluster to goes down if one NIC failed. The issue is somewhere else and not in the teaming mode
    that you choose.
    Hope this help.

  • Server 2012 Built-In IPSec VPN & RAS & HyperV-Switch & Netgear Pro Safe Router, Tunnel Ok, but no Traffic

    Hello,
    i try to setup a IPSEC VPN (Site-by-Site or if not possible Client-BySite) between a Netgear Pro Safe Router and Windows Server 2012.
    The Problem: Tunnel is up and running, but no Ping, no traffic at all.
    the Server 2012 uses HyperV and has one hardware-NIC with public ip, lets say 123.123.123.1.
    if no site-by-site is possible in my situation with built-in-tools this server would be only a client-site which would "dial-up" to the netgear box.
    the server has a second virtual NIC with IP 192.168.137.1. Routing and RAS is enabled, because there are two virtual other servers whichs has 192.168.137.2 and 192.168.137.3.
    The Netgear-ProSafe has public ip 122.122.122.1 and LAN-Subnet 192.168.21.0/24.
    I created the Tunnel in the Advanced-Firewall-Options-Window. Both, Windows and the Router, say, the VPN-Tunnel is okay. Also, i can see ESP-Packets with wireshark.
    If i ping (from router to server and other direction) i get no response. Some people said, the RAS itselfe could not accept packages, but i tried from one of the virtual clients also (192.168.137.2) and no ping there also.
    i tried to add a route for subnet 192.168.21.0 with 192.168.137.1 as gateway but that didn't helped also.
    now, after all this time i spend today to this problem i'm a bit confused.
    as i know vpn-connections there are always virtual devices, and routes for the vpn-subnets assigned to this device.
    the windows firewall does not create any device, and it does not create any route - i suppose, this is because "routing and ras or windows firewall-service" does this work "internally". is that correct? do i need any routes?
    i was wondering why the ICMP packet from my ping in wireshark had the public ip as source (123.123.123.1) and not the "internal" 192.168.137.1 - and i tried to restrict the vpn-rule only for the virtual internal NIC but this isn't possible, as
    it is no option inside the gui.
    it would be great if somebody could explain me how config and packages SHOULD look....i've never used the built-in vpn/ipsec/ras services before, so i don't know how things has to be for a correct working environment. also, i need a solution and any help
    to solve the problem would be great also!
    now i try to sleep one night - maybe i get some nice idea after some hours of sleeping. good night.
    Addition: After some more tests i find out that if i change the local endpoint (endpoint 1) from the virtual network (192.168.137.0/24) to the public ip of the server (123.123.123.1) inside the tunnel-rule and inside the vpn-policy of the router i can access
    the netgear and other devices in the remote-network 192.168.21.0 over this ip-adresses. ping is not working, but other things seems to work fine. i want to be able to ping as well ofcourse and this wired configuration looks wrong to me...can some network-professional
    help out with an explanation?
    Second Addition: I can set the Local Endpoint also to "any" and it does work - but ping still does not work :-(
    Third Addition: The Ping does work if i disable the NAT-Functionality on the Physical NIC. ....mhm.....

    I would definitly recommend the usage of a virtual router instead using windows onboard-firewall to make the site-to-site tunnel!
    as you can see in my linked thread above (Link)
    this scenario is not supported from microsoft! you will run into problems!
    we do run a hyperv virtual machine and install the wonderful distribution pfsense inside this box. pfsense is a software-linux-router with ipsec-functionality, which works like a charm!
    and by the way i recommend to not use the products of netgear! they are expensive, very slow and the service is not good!
    we have good experience with Vigor-Routers! They are less expensive, the Service is very good, and the devices are much faster, AND! ...the vpn-connections stay stable up!
    this experience was very time-intensive to make! hope this will help someone else in the future.
