Server 2008 Picture Thumbnails in Explorer!??

How can I turn on the preview/thumbnails when viewing pictures in explorer. This is driving me crazy....

Jeffrey,
If you go to the folder in question and follow these steps do you get your thumbnails:
1) Select Organize --> Folder and Search Options --> View --> Advanced Settings: Uncheck Always show icons, never thumbnails.
2) Change the view to Tiles, Medium Icons, Large Icons or Extra Large Icons.
You should now see thumbnails. By default thumbnails are disabled in Server and this setting allows you to get a client type experience.
Thanks,
-Steve

How do I get Windows8 to display thumbnails in Explorer

Just changed from Windows XP to Win 8. In XP I could see picture thumbnails in Explorer where as in Win 8 I can only see the Application Icon. Help, going nuts..
PS: in XP I was using Photoshop CS3 Now I'm using Lightroom 5.2

There should be a Microsoft RAW Codec that you can install. If you can’t find that or it doesn’t work for the images you want, then there is a pay-for codec that displays thumbnails of more image formats from: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/

Does SQL Server 2008 R2 recognize only system-generated session identifiers,

As part of the locking down of our system we are doing the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) and one of the questions it asks is "The DBMS must recognize only system-generated session identifiers."
I have looked at the STIG version for SQL Server 2012 and this is not a finding on it, since it supports the requirement and cannot be configured out of compliance.
If anyone can help confirm that this is also the case with SQL Server 2008 R2 that would be very helpful.
Thank you, Darren
The discussion of it is:
This requirement focuses on communications protection at the application session, versus network packet level. The intent of this control is to establish grounds for confidence at each end of a communications session in the ongoing identity of the other
party and in the validity of the information being transmitted.
Unique session IDs are the opposite of sequentially generated session IDs which can be easily guessed by an attacker. Unique session identifiers help to reduce predictability of said identifiers.
Unique session IDs address man-in-the-middle attacks including session hijacking or insertion of false information into a session. If the attacker is unable to identify or guess the session information related to pending application traffic, they will have
more difficulty in hijacking the session or otherwise manipulating valid sessions.
The DBMS must only recognize only system generated session identifiers. If an attacker was able to generate a session with a non-system generated session identifier and have it be recognized by the system, the attacker could potentially gain access to the
system without passing through access controls designed to limit database sessions to authorized users.

Hi Darren,
From your description, do you mean the session_id from DMV sys.dm_exec_sessions? If so, the session_id(s) are all created and handled by SQL Server. When session_id <= 50 , it belongs to a system session, and when session_id > 50, it belongs to a user
session.
Below query could help you generate system sessions in SQL Server 2008 R2. Refer to :

Explorer folder update issues Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server

Hi Folks,
We are having a few issues here. We have a cluster of 5 Server 2008 X64 R2 SP1 Terminal Servers running Citrix Xenapp 6. Our file server is a Server 2008 R2 SP1 server also. All servers are virtualised on ESX vSphere 4.0 and are connected to an EMC
FC SAN.
The users have an application which references a mapped drive (K in this example). This mapped drive is populated with contents from a network scanner. The file extensions change from PDF, JPEG, JPG and GIF. The files are stored on the 2K8 X64 R2 file server.
This all works fine, however the users are getting intermittent 'refresh' problems if you will. Sometimes after the user scans to the folder they will not see the item which was scanned however another user on the _same_ server will be able to see the item
that has just been scanned to file. If I login to the server via remote desktop I can also see the files also. It can take from 2minutes to 30minutes before the users explorer will actually refresh and be able to see the files. During this time if the user
creates a folder in the my documents which is also redirected/hosted on the 2K8 R2 file server they see the changes immediately. If the user logs in and logs out of the Terminal Server the file which was scanned is immediately available to the user.
**NOTE** this problem does not occur every time
Below is a list of the things that I have tried
Changing the Icon size and layout under explorer
Changing the layout from thumbnails to list etc
Disabled SMB 2.0
Completed SMB tuning for Xenapp and Explorer on the limit of concurrent connections etc
Disabled Windows Search
Disabled Indexing
Changed the folder to be both offline and online
Index offline and online folders
Disabled "Client for Microsoft Networks" on the network card
Disabled IPV6 on both Terminal Servers and File server
Ran filemon in compatibility mode on the file server (I can see the file being created)
I have changed the scanning location on the 2K8 R2 file server to no avail
I have checked the file share and it is indeed set to Maximum allow concurrent connections
Checked Perfmon and the disk queue is running about 0.4
I'm now at a loss.. any advise would be great! thanks folks.

Hi,
Does this issue happen on a Windows client? Like the Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Meanwhile, I would give you the following suggestions for your reference:
1.
By default, Windows Explorer generates a lot of SMB traffic - which can result in poor file server performance in some circumstances.
However, some of this traffic is superfluous and can be reduced - for example:
•Searches for Desktop.ini files used for folder customization
•Periodic refreshes of folder contents
•Searches for supporting library (.dll) files
•Individual file details and attributes pulled for each file
•Thumbnail extraction
There are some registry changes you can implement to optimize the SMB traffic being generated.
Import the settings below on client machines.
Terminal Servers running in Application Mode should be considered client machines in this scenario.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]

2.
Please try to temporarily disable all firewall and anti-virus software to check whether this issue can be fixed.
3.
Please check if the problematic user is still on one switch. If so, I would guess there is an issue on switch.
In this case, you’re using Citrix when this issue happens. I suggest you contact Citrix engineer to particularly ask whether they saw the
similar issue running on Citrix and how to fix it.
Thanks.

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

How to downgrade from Internet explorer 11 to internet explorer 10 on windows server 2008 R2

Hi,
Can someone please let me know how I can downgrade from IE11 to IE10 in my windows server 2008 R2. When I go to control Panel -> Programs -> features and I don't see any program name with internet explorer in that list. Also, when I go to on
'View installed updates', I don't see any update related to IE 11 installed. And, when I click on 'Turn windows feature on or off', it takes me to Server Manager and in there I dont find any feature related to IE.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Disable set as background from right click in internet explorer 8,9,10,11 by GPO in Win Serv 2008 R2

Hi.
How to disable ''set as background'' from right click in internet explorer 8,9,10,11 by GPO in Win Serv 2008 R2.
People in my domain can set their background by right click in the pics on their IE, I enabled by GPO a wallpaper by default in ''Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper'' and I enable too the ''Administrative Templates
> Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background'' at login people have the corporative Desktop but they can change by IE. What can I do? thanks.
<u5:p></u5:p>

Hi,
I test this issue, actually, in IE 11, the option "set as backgroud" is grayed out after I applied policy Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background, but seems not suitable for
other versions of IE.

Windows Server 2008 Explorer error when i right click on folder

Hi everybody.
I have installed a new Windows Server 2008 64-bit, update it to latest.
I have a problem that happens when i right click on a folder. The error only happens if i right click on a folder that has only 1 character long folder name. Doesn't matter if the name is for example: "1" or "a" or "f", the explorer.exe crashes and gives me
error:
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

The error happened to me on different pc before so it is not related to hardware. The problem happens also if i create folder on desktop, problem stays if i create a new account, the problem goes away if i rename the folder to at least 2 character long name
(for example: "1a", "de"), by slowly double click it. If i go to Start --> Computer --> Local Disk (C:) --> create New Folder with 1 character long name and than go to Organize, i can cut, but not do the same to paste the folder inside another location,
because the error happens.
I didn't install Visual Studio.
How to solve the problem ?

This is not the usual behavior of the windows Server.
Please perform the following things
1) Perform a clean boot
http://technetfaqs.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/how-to-clean-boot-in-windows-2008-server/
2) Go to the safe mode and try to perform a virus check using the malicious virus removal tool
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/890830/en-us
3) If none of the above helps then you should generate the dump file and analyze it to find the root cause of the problem which is not easy for the new users. How ever if you generate it and put it to the sky drive I will try to analyze and let you know

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) doesn't create thumbnail (bitmap) using Microsoft Interface IExtractImage -- Extract on Windows Server 2008 R2, when exe to generate thumbnail is launched from Windows service.

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) doesn't create thumbnail (bitmap) using Microsoft Interface IExtractImage --> Extract on Windows Server 2008 R2, when exe to generate thumbnail is launched from Windows service.
But if exe is launched as standalone, then interface IExtractImage --> Extract, gives Bitmap to generate thumbnail of PDF document.
Above problem occurs only for PDF documents, if we tried same with other software like CAD -CATIA it works without any problem.
Is there any security concerns form PDF side, which doesn't allow to generate Bitmaps, if exe to generate it is launched form Windows service.

It might be deliberate, Acrobat and Reader software is not intended to run in a service environment.

Server 2008 R2 does not show Internet Explorer 10/11 Group Policy options

Hello,
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 server that has IE11 installed. I am attempting to create a GPO to control Proxy settings for IE10/11 clients, however, when I go to User Config>Preferences> Control Panel Settings> Internet Settings and Right click,
I do not see an option for IE10, only IE5 and 6, IE7, and IE8.
I have downloaded and installed the Administrative Templates for Internet Explorer from
here, and followed the installation instructions, but still, the option does not show up. I have ensured that all the latest Windows Updates are installed on the server, and rebooted
the server a couple times.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Server 2008 R2

I need to install IE 9 or IE 10 on a Windows Server 2008 R2. IE 9 or 10 is specified because of compatibility with some of our applications that have been developed in house.
An earlier post listed the link
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/A/C/8AC7C482-BC74-492E-B978-7ED04900CEDE/IE10-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe as a source for the IE 10 download, but when I downloaded it and tried to install it, I got an error "Operating System is not supported".
I am hesitant to download it from one of the non-microsoft sites that offer it.
Is there a way to download and install IE 10 to Windows Server 2008 R2?
Thanks very much for your help.

Hello Logan,
Unfortunately, I did not find any download link of IE 9 or 10 from Microsoft's server. I think they are closing IE 10 or below versions for their OS.
However, I found an external link to download IE 10, if you want then visit:-

Windows Server 2008 r2 as Windows XP Pro 2.0 (Issue: 1)

Windows Server 2008 r2 as Windows XP Pro 2.0 (Issue: 1)
Flabbergasted at the sheer level of idiocy required to use Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 8.1 Pro I remain a stead fast winXPro user to this day (mid-2014) and beyond. My i3-3225 XP machine turns 2000+ Passmark system scores and excels at everything the
way we all use to, before Microsoft's policy of operating systems built for idiots, by idiots came to pass. Then as a sheer act of desperation I tried Server 2008 r2... is it the OS I have dreamed of? Short of an XP Theme conversion kit I have questions...
Problem 1) Windows Explorer: In the folder directory left pane... the little [+] box next to the folder names flash on and off each time I use the right window pane. Can I by any and all means make them not do this, remain visible, sit still; like XP used
to do?
Problem 2) Start Menu: This popup is a double wide window pane, two columns of annoyance. Can I reduce this to a single wide by removing the right pane entirely by any and all means. I have removed every button from the right pane, but it still exists, it still
has a default picture user icon and says Administrator.
Problem 3) If specific programs/drivers are unavailable for this OS 2008 r2, I presume win 7 x64 by default work.
Problem 4) Passmark benchmarking software tested my system, with windows 8.1 I had a processor score of 9,400, but server 2008 r2 put out only 8,100 in repetitive tests. Why the slowdown? I only use this as an XP like os, no actual server stuff, should i disable
something?

Windows Server is not intended to replace Windows XP. i would advice to try Windows 7 or 8 instead.
1) I cannot picture what you mean. ther is a setting to define wheter the left pane should follow if you browse in the right one. Tools- folder options- general 'navigation pane'
2)Windows vista/2008 is the last version that had a (optional) single pane start menu. if you don't like the current one, ther is third party software available to replace the start menu
3) yes, these will be ok
4) 2008 R2 is a server OS and is out-of-the bow not optimized for foreground applications. Windows 8.1 on the other hand is a newer and more performant OS optimized for client usage. in both cases a lot of performance gain is to be expected by selecting
the right drivers, disabling or unisntalling unneeded software and windows features, disabling unneeded services. I would recommend to (a least) go to computer properties -advanced settigns- advanced and set 'adjust for best perfomance of" to programs (instead
of background services)

How to install IE8 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter?

Hello.
Can anybody tell me, how to install IE8 on 2008 R2 Datacenter?
I've downloaded this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx for "Windows Server 2008 64-bit and more..", removed IE11, IE10, IE9 from installed updates, and runned "dism /online /disable-feature
/featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64".
And nothing helps. I've got a message "Internet Explorer 8 is not supported on this operating system".

you can't "install" IE8 on WS2008R2, nor on Windows7 - because those OS's shipped with IE8.
IE is an OS component, and so when you "upgrade" or "downgrade" IE, you are affecting an OS component.
What this means is that the "IE8" download you are trying to apply, is actually IE8 for WinXP or maybe WinVista.
You can usually "downgrade" Win7 back to IE8, by uninstalling the newer "upgrade" of IE - this causes the OS to automatically attempt to revert to the prior IE version.
This reversion assumes/requires a healthy OS and component store (CBS), including all the pkgmgr file needed to revert to component.
Sometimes, the component store is damaged, or is missing files.
you may need to check the CBS logfiles, and may need to perform SFC /scannow
You may need to use CheckSUR to repair system health.

"Value cannot be null" error when trying to edit or create Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2008

I have SQL Server 2008 installed on Windows Server 2008 64bit, every time I try to open or create a new Maintenance Plan I receive the error:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: component (System.Design)
Program Location:
   at System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerHost.System.ComponentModel.Design.IDesignerHost.GetDesigner(IComponent component)
   at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration.DtsDesignerService.OpenDesigner(String connectionString, Object connection, String objectUrn)
   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.DatabaseMaintenance.MaintDesignerMenuHandler.Invoke()
And in the Design view screen
"Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is unable to load this document: Could not load type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.runtime.Wrapper.IDTSPackageSigning100' from assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRunTimeWrap, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral'.
I have searched for a possible solution and have tried some suggestions of registering the msxml6.dll but and have installed VS2008 SP1 but I'm not in a position where I can do a full reinstall of SQL Server right now. Any help is appreciated. My SQL server
environment information is below.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.4206
Operating System 6.0.6002

I digged a little deeper and figured out it was a missing directory/file in %TEMP%. Seems some CleaningTool removes all files/directories in %Temp% and after that SSMS was not working any longer. The missing file is actually not needed, but the
missing directory causes the "Value cannot be null" error.
My missing file name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\6vvdaozf.tmp
But the file name changes on every startup.
So my missing directory name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2
After creating a empty directory with the name "2" in %TEMP% all went back to work fine for me.
I'm not sure the directory name is every time the same, but you can discover your missing file with the process monitor from Sysinternal Tools and filters to "Process Name is ssms.exe" and "Path contains AppData\Local\Temp"
Hope this helps other people to solve their issues too.
Thank you!! When I run %temp% it takes me to "C:\Users\Admin ...~\AppData\Local\Temp\some random number". At first the random number was 3, after I logged off and back on it was 2. My temp variable in enviromental variables is correct. I looked on another machine
running SQL2008 and temp is correct there. If I try to rename the numbered folder SSMS stops working. Any idea?
