SAP Support for Windows 2008 R2 SP1

How can I find out if SAP supports Windows 2008 R2 SP1?
We have ECC6 enh4 running on Win2008R2 servers, our admin would like to apply SP1 to these. I'm trying to find documentation to verify SAP Supports SP1. So far I've come up empty.
Thanks

Hyper-v for windows 2008 r2 sp1

i have windows 2008 r2 sp1 foundation. i thought if i download and install the hyperv from the microsoft download site, it might make my server on par with the features of the windows 2008 r2 standard version, but i might be wrong, because it apparently
does not let me upgrade during setup but force me to do clean install. which implies that i might be overwriting my whole server with just a hyper v functionality and nothing else, am i correct? i dont want that. i want the whole server functionality like
iis sharepoint etc. if i dont have hyper v, i can live with having vmware player.

Hi Lenny,
Please ensure that the downloaded server is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard not core or other edition .
Also please refer to following article :

BPC 7.5 SP4 Support for Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2

The release notes for BPC 7.5M SP04 state that support has been added for both Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2.
For SQL 2008 R2, there is nothing in the feature pack described as "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility Components" - which was a required piece for BPC 7/7.5 on SQL 2008. Is the SQL 2008 version still a requirement, or does BPC 7.5 now not need the Backward Compatibility components?
Also, the ReprotViewer executable that is packaged with BPC 7.5 is the one for SQL 2008- will that work when installing SQL 2008 R2?
thanks,
Tony DeStefanis

Hi,
we have the same environment (BPC 7.5 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit and SQL Server 2008 R2 64bit).
we are developping our application-set and for the moment we have no problem.

Microsoft support for Windows Server 2008 R2 on vSphere 5.5

Hi, everybody.
I'm checking if Microsoft will provide support for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on a VM on vSphere 5.5 Update 2. So far what I've found at
http://windowsservercatalog.com is:
Filtering vendor VMware and Windows Server 2008 R2, it shows vSphere up to version 5.0 update 1
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/results.aspx?&chtext=&cstext=&csttext=&chbtext=&bCatID=1521&cpID=2274&avc=34&ava=0&avq=0&OR=1&PGS=25&ready=0
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/item.aspx?idItem=c92e5cbd-9690-b62a-2ace-843390ac3ea4&bCatID=1521
Filtering vendor VMware it shows vSphere 5.5 update 2, but details only Windows Server 2012, not Windows Server 2008 R2.
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/results.aspx?&chtext=&cstext=&csttext=&chbtext=&bCatID=1521&cpID=2274&avc=0&ava=0&avq=0&OR=1&PGS=25&ready=0&PG=2
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/item.aspx?idItem=ef39c5b2-2f5b-5b73-08e2-c07fecdadcff&bCatID=1521
Does that mean Microsoft doesn't support Windows 2008 R2 on vSphere 5.5 update 2?
I'm aware Windows Server 2008 R2 lifecycle is close to EOL, but customer requires this specific version for application compatibility.
Thanks

SAP Cryptographic Library for Windows 2008

Hello,
Do you know where can i find SAP Cryptographic Library for Windows 2008 x64?
I was trying to find it in swdc, but there's only for Windows 2003 - and it's not working with 2008.
Best regards
Bartosz

Hi,
Just an information from my experience : I have never been able to download any release of the SAP Crypto library contrary to what all the documentation and SAP notes tell.
We had always to ask our SAP representative and to wait for several weeks to receive a DVD by physical mail.

Installing DSEE 7 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit does nothing

Hi All,
Has anyone been able to install DSEE 7 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit? Is it supported?
I followed the instructions and when run the command (as the Administrator) below nothing happen, it simply return an empty command prompt. Ms VC 2008 Redistributables (the one that come with the archive) is installed.
dsccsetup.exe war-file-create
dsccsetp.exe ads-create
When run the same command using the same archive on Windows 7 64-bit it does prompt for further input or report error.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Windows 2008 R2 is not listed as a supported OS in the release notes.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19424-01/820-4805/820-4805.pdf
It lists:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
If you are able to go to the next version, it is listed as supported in the release notes for ODSEE 11g:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/odsee-11gr1certmatrix-161592.xls
I have not tried 11g on 2008 R2 myself, but if it is in the certification matrix, it should work.
Hope that helps,

Applying Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on Exchange 2010 SP2 servers

Hi All,
Our current setup is Primary Site and DR site with a DAG.
Primary site is having 2 Mailbox servers, 2 hubcas servers with an NLB and one CAS server for OWA.
DR Site is having 1 mailbox server, one hubcas server and one CAS server. All these exchange servers are SP2 with update roll up5.
But the OS is Windows 2008 R2, need to apply Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on these servers, and what are things to be considered.
Does this affect CAS servers IIS?
Thanks,
Kanishka.

Agreed. One thing to mention - Win 2008 R2 needed SP1 a while back, no security updates have been released for a while.
Exchange 2010 SP2 goes out of support next month. please plan to update to SP3 for Exchange 2010.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/10/08/save-the-date-end-of-exchange-2003-support-t-minus-6-months.aspx
The details for that, and a link to the lifecycle page are in the above post.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 BSOD

Hi All,
Experience BSOD's throughout the business day on an Windows 2008 R2 SP1 x64 terminal server (hosted on an hyper-v 2008 host) but not outside of business hours (thinking its an application / driver issue). Other virtual machines on this host are not experiencing
the same issue and the host is not impacted (non-hardware failure).
I've been trying to find out how to diagnose this one by revising the minidump files with WinDBG / 2008R2 symbol files but it keeps coming back to winsys32 as the fault, but can't figure out how to resolve this one.
If anyone could help with this that would be great.

Is it OK to install windows 2008 R2 SP1? It appears in Windows Update. Can it be done remotely?
Thanks

Hi Yahya,
Yes, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 can be installed on SBS 2011 Standard, you can also refer to this article:

To manage the windows update, I also recommend you can deploy through WSUS and Group Policy.
If you have downloaded the service pack as .msu file, and if you want to install this file remotely via Windos Powershell, please use powershell remoting and the cmd 'wusa.exe':

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise TS Sessions stuck in Down state

I have an environment of 30 physical Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise servers providing Remote Desktop services running Citrix XenApp 6.5. Over the last 2 months, I've had two instances where one user session was stuck in a "Down" state. The user
could not log in or reconnect to the published app because this one session could not be cleared. I was forced to remove the affected server from the published app, clear off all the users, and reboot in order to clear the Down session.
Research brought me to the following KB articles:
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX128192
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2383928
I attempted to apply the hotfix, but it was "not applicable to your computer". I opened a ticked with MS and the conclusion was that the hotfix, and subsequent versions of the hotfix, have been superseded by Windows Updates. The hotfix apparently has
been rolled into public Windows Updates.
My problem is that this behavior still exists. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a nondestructive method (without rebooting) for clearing out these sessions stuck in a "Down" state? Thanks.

OK. We sent the files over to Microsoft to check on this issue. They came back with the following information.
While we are usually skeptical of Hotfixes, several of these descriptions are on the money. We will not complete the entire list, but will start with the exact match descriptions and apply one at a time.

Do I really need KB2757817 on my Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise KMS?

I recently added support for Office 2013 to my KMS server. During the installation, I was prompted to install KB2757817 to ensure support for Windows 8 and Server 2012. I checked and found that I'm already activating Windows 8 and Server 2012 on the same
KMS server. Do I really need this update or can I forgo it?
Orange County District Attorney

I can't install the update, says it doesn't apply to my system, 2008 R2 SP1. I have run the WMI QFE list and it's not present.
Is this included as part of 2008 R2 SP1?
And do i actually need 5 instances of 2012 STD before the KMS server will work?
I needed to install it on my system, but I've since applied a later update (2885698) for Win8.1/WS2012R2.
Maybe, if you have already applied 2885698, 2757817 would not be applicable?

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Windows update not applicable

HELP!!! We have 3 Windows 2008 R2 servers that were updated with SP1 back in March. Last month we noticed on our Retina audit that the three servers were missing several Windows critical patches that were released after SP1 was applied. WSUS did not report
any missing patches for those three servers. When we tried to manually apply those missing patches we get the error message "This update is not applicable to your computer". After some troubleshooting we found that KB976932 (Service Pact 1) is not listed in
installed updates. However, system property shows Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition. We are certain that SP1 did NOT come pre-installed. Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer detected no missing patches. Microsoft System Readiness Tool CBA logs show no
errors. Ran SFC /SCANNOW and found no error also. Force install of the patches with command switch /wuforce, did not work we still get the same message patch not applicable. We compared our servers that are fully patched running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 against
the three unpatched servers and found several dll and sys file's version to be different. Those dll and sys files are also the files that would have been updated by the critical patches. The only thing different between the fully patched Windows 2008 R2 SP1
servers and the unpatch are the unpatch have no public internet access. We confirmed patches that were required prior to SP1 push are installed: KB2454826 KB2534366 KB2533552 KB976902 Confirmed: Partition with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 installed is set to "ACTIVE"
Windows Event Collector service is started Windows Modules Installer is started Uninstalling SP1 is not possible because the KB976932 is not listed and verified "not hidden" in installed updates list. Rebuilding the three servers are the very last option,
since they are critical. Other than the missing patches.... the servers are running great, we have no reported issues with the three servers. Attempt to reinstall SP1 failed after reboot, error 0X800F0826. If anyone has experience this problem and know of
a solution please help.

Hi,
I would like to confirm that what updates are not applicable for your three Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 servers?
Based on the current situation, please run the System Update Readiness Tool as Meinolf Weber mentioned and check the CheckSUR.persist.log for the corrupted
files. After that, please refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article for how to repair them.
Advanced guidelines for diagnosing and fixing servicing corruption

Installing Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services

Hi All,
Is it possible to install Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services. We are planning to use xenapp to publish these application.
Please let me know if this is a supported environment.
Regards
Radhika

As far as I know you will NOT be able to access OpenGL functionality through Terminal Services. as the OpenGL implementation provided in that environment is software, version 1.1 - not GPU-accelerated.
I seem to recall there was a thread about a year ago here where someone was trying to do what you are asking. I vaguely remember they were able to make it work, but I'm not sure. You might try doing a search of this forum.
