Server 2008 R2 bitlocker advise for HIPPA compliance

Hi guys,First, I've done a lot of searching on the weband read a few different threads on Spiceworks regarding HIPPA compliance and encrypting hard drives.Specifically these two threads:http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/596465-encryption-for-hipaa-compliancehttp://community.spiceworks.com/topic/320759-how-are-you-handling-hipaa-s-latest-data-at-rest-rulesSo I have a new client that's in the medical field. He has a server that's about two-three years old that looks as ifit was built with budget at the forefront. It's a whitebox with an Asus P8H77-v motherboard, 16 GB of ram, an i3 processor& two 1 TBSATA drives using raid 1 right off the motherboard. The roles it has: DNS/DHCP/File server/AD. Side note - eventhough it's been setup for AD none of the computers are on the domain.Their EMR software is Tracknet & the datais being stored...

Hi,
From your description, I don’t see any chance that the USB disk could be decrypted. We can only decrypt the disk via UI or manage-bde
–off.
In addition, decrypting a disk might take several hours. It could not be decrypted without any notification.
According to the above, I suggest checking if there was any mis-operation. Also, please do more tests and check if the issue can be reproduced.
Thanks.

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Client restore for UEFI Bios Error

My surface pro 3 has been backing up successfully to a Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials for months now. I now need to restore the Surface Pro 3 to backup created last week. However I cannot get the Surface Pro3 to boot from the
Recovery stick created by the Recovery Tools task. I also can't get the Surface to boot from an external dvd drive. The Surface seems to just ignore the External DVD drive. Maybe there is a problem with it. I will try it somewhere else.
However the error I get trying to boot from the USB is the following.
Window Boot Manger
File \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000d
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
How do I fix this issue and get the Surface Pro 3 to restore from backup?

Hi,
Please try to disable secure boot in BIOS and check Enable Legacy Option ROMs under Advanced Boot options to resolve the issue.
For more detailed information, please see:

Hi Zargar,
>>Using server 2008 R2 and the clients are Windows 7 Professional; i am getting empty start menu.
This is normal, for we disabled the option
Move the contents of Start Menu to the new location. This option is enabled by default and it will automatically move the existing content to the new location.
At this moment, we can manually copy the files we want from the local locations.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

Server 2008 R2 failover cluster for DFS servers

A new client currently has a couple Server 2008 R2 failover clusters (one at each of their two primary sites) as their two hub DFS locations. I'm confused, and can't see much of a reason for this implementation, which only seems to introduce added complexity
with no real benefits. Here are my reasons:
- At each site, the servers in the failover clusters are on the same server VM farms, hosted on the same SAN's.
- The data hosted on each node of the clusters are not identical. For example, server1 has 25 DFS replicated folders and server2 has 20 replicated folders. In fact, the ~25 folders on server1 are all named <site>-user, and the ~20 folders on server
2 are <site>-data. There appears to be no crossover.
So if the SAN fails, they're screwed. If the VM host fails, they're screwed. Why not just have two DFS servers at each site for redundancy within each site, and replicating with other site DFS servers as needed? I'm not super strong with failover clustering
at all though, so I may easily be missing something.

Hi Steve,
From the description, as you said it seems create more factors which may cause a failure.
Using DFS on cluster could eliminate the possible of a single failing VM. However if the VM host is down, which will still leads to a failure. So actually the risk is still them same as just creating DFS namespace on these 2 VM hosts or any other file server.

Understand SQL Server 2008 R2 replication features for a reporting database

Hi, I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and working on building a reporting database using transactional push replication and want to know the downside that we should aware of using this.
For instance, is the data always available to the users even when changes are being written from the publisher?
I am also interested in learning replication mechanism & internals. How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance........

SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 - Host ok for VmWare Server 2??

Hello,
I am running a VmWare Server 2.02 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 - Host. Are there any known problems with regard to VmWare Server 2 when installing SP1 on the Windwos Server 2008 R2 - Host? I was reluctand to install SP1, because I was unable to find information to that question. Has anybody out there with the same configuration done the SP1-Update already?
Regards,Martin Kluge

Thanks.. That's what I wanted to hear..
any updates since you posted this thread? still working?
It amazes me that they killed off Server, they could have moved it to paid and we would have been happy.
ESXi is great if your hardware supports it, ours doesn't.
We upgraded our linux OS when we did some disk upgrades on our secondary server a few weeks ago only to find server can't run on 2.6.41.. so -- its going to windows r2 2008.

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 connector software for Win8.1?

Hello ---
Just a quick question if anyone has found connector software for Win 8.1?
I have a WesternDigitial Sentinel DX4000 and would love to upgrade it's server software to 2012, but that doesn't seem to be an offered solution either....
Thanks,
Mike

If the DX has all the updates applied the connector works fine with 8.1.
Note a lot of the newer boxes have uEFI and you will need a hotfix to get backups working. After you install the hotfix, all clients will get the updated Launchpad and require 2 reboots to be seen in the dashboard as online again.
Also everytime you reboot the DX check and make sure the system date is correct. The date, not the time :)

JDK and JRE comptability for Windows server 2008

Hi,
Could someone please let me know what are the JDK and JRE versions that are comptabile with Windows server 2008 ?
Thanks.

Hi,
For security purposes, the IP address for the Windows Update web site constantly changes and it is not a fixed address. Also, there is no official publication of the
IP addresses. We normally advise against defining IP addresses on the firewall for this purpose. Instead, we suggest either allowing all outbound connections to http & https ports or defining the DNS addresses as permitted destinations for traffic via
the firewall.
For up-to-date information about the IP's being used by Windows Update, use the DNS system, as this is the only reliable up to date source of information. If you use
DNS, make sure the following destination hosts are specified:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.update.microsoft.com
https://*.update.microsoft.com
http://*.windowsupdate.com

Issue Installing SP2 for Windows Server 2008 SP1

Hello, I have a very annoying issue, and I hope someone can help a bro out.
Server: Windows Server 2008 SP1 64-bit
Issue: SP2 wont install on Windows Server 2008 SP1
This is what I am seeing when I check the event viewer:
1. (Information) Windows Servicing is setting package KB948465(Service Pack) state to Staging(Staging)
2. (Error) Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of changing update 948465-382_neutral_GDR from package KB948465(Service Pack) into Staging(Staging) state
I have no idea why this is coming up, nor why the server cant fix the issue, but now I am forced to deal with it. So if anyone has any helpful tips it would be greatly appreciated.
What I have done so far:
I have downloaded the standalone SP2 file from microsoft, and tried to install, still failed. Just sent me to the prereq page, which is pretty useless considering the fact I already have SP1 installed, and nothing new has changed physically or digitally
in the system.
Also, although not a huge issue, I also have a security update that is failing, basically with the same issue as the SP. Below is its Error event log.
(Error) Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of changing update 974318-11_neutral_LDR from package KB974318(Security Update) into Staging(Staging) state
Im hoping that upon discovering the SP issue, I can resolve the security update issue, as the errors have the same issue(failed to complete staging state).Thank you for your time.
~I will provide any further info if needed.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Milos. Yes I ALWAYS google my issues before going on forums for help. And to no avail. However, below is the relevant info(sorry I did not post this the first time;first time dealing with an issue like this,
so I wasnt for shore what relevant data pertained to this issue):
I also did not copy and paste the entire log in here(obviously) because its huge, however I will post link to full file if requested/needed, but hopefully I grabbed the entire log for my SP2 update failure issue. All I can grab from this log is that the
CBS failed. However, I have no clue where to go after that..

Analysis Server for sql server 2008 r2 express?

Not sure if this is a forum where I could ask about how I could obtain analysis server for sql server 2008 R2 express - only for academic purposes (not doing any production stuff - just getting up to speed on OLAP, creating fact tables, star schema,
snowflake schema, ...). Suggestions appreciated how I may obtain a version of analysis server for sql server 2008 R2 Express -- or if this is not a good forum to ask that question then I would be grateful for being pointed to the proper forum.
Thanks
Rich P

SQL Express Edition Doesn't support analysis services.

As Li said, you need to go with the developer edition.

Converting MDX query into SQL Server 2008

We have MDX query based OLAP CUbes.
To reduce MDX based dependenies, we have to convert MDX based cube to sql server 2008 based queries.
For this I need expert advise to convert below query to sql server 2008 based query :

Hi Sachin,
According to your description, you need to convert the MDX query to T-SQL query, right?
Your MDX query is calculated measure that return the total value from the first sibling and ending with the given member. In T-SQL query we can use the query as Yogisha provided to achieve the same requirement. Now you need to a tool to convert all the MDX
related SSAS cube queries to MS SQL Server 2008 based queries.
Although MDX has some similarities with T-SQL these languages are in many ways different. Beginning to learn and comprehend SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) MDX queries can be difficult after one has spent years writing queries in T-SQL. Currently, there
is no such a tool to convert a MDX query to T-SQL query since the structure difference between MDX and T-SQL. So you need to convert them manually, please refer to the links below to see the details.

Help, I installed Windows Server 2008

Please advise me on what to do. I installed Windows Server 2008 on my laptop for networking class. This past summer I had upgraded it from Windows Vista to Windows 8 then 8.1. I want to take Windows Server 2008 off, but I cannot seem to get my windows
8 to work. When the computer is in command screen mode I have to option to start in Windows Server 2008, or Windows 8. But Windows 8 will not come up, I get an error stating a file is missing. I cannot seem to connect to the internet IN Windows Server 2008
either . Help!!!!

Okay this is what you need for a basic setup.
Servers:
1 main host server - install Hyper-V role on this
2. 1 guest server to act as a domain controller - also install remote desktop licensing role on this server
3. 1 remote desktop session host server that you install your applications on
join the remote desktop server to the domain
leave your hyper-v host server off the domain in a workgroup
install applications on remote desktop session host server
install remote desktop licences on the license server - role that you have installed on your domain controller
configure any settings - including the licence server to use - on the remote desktop session host
users connect to remote desktop server using RDP client on their computers
NB: this is the minimum setup you could use

Problems LMS-4.2 Installation on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1

Hi all,
During the installation of the LMS-4.2,
It passed the "Initializing" and "Copying" stages,
but, in the "Configuring", it never finishes,
Anyone had have a similar problem?
the installer is for - LMS-4.2 and the OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1

Thanks for the update. Glad to know it has installed now.
There can be some port clashes and resource scarcity when other applications may be using it. Hence we recommend to have majorly LMS as the primary software on the server's.
Also, LMS is not supported in other languages installers or setups except English and Japanese.
There are a couple more things you can do/check prior to running the installation.
LMS generally need Naming convention to handle long names/path etc. By default C: has 8.3 Naming convention enabled. However if you installed on different drive (for eg E:), for which this may be disabled.
To check naming convention you can run the following command from Windows Command prompt:
cmd>fsutil.exe 8dot3name query <Drive>
Example:
C:\Users\winlau>fsutil 8dot3name query C:
The volume state for Disable8dot3 is 0 (8dot3 name creation is enabled).
The registry state of NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is 2, the default (Volume level setting).
Based on the above two settings, 8dot3 name creation is enabled on C:.
8dot3 needs to be enabled for all drives LMS will potentially use, including:
Drive where TEMP/TMP is located
The drive LMS is installed to
The drive LMS backs up to
Drive used for a relocated RME Shadow directory or other nonstandard paths written to.
In some cases, altering the TEMP and TMP variables to be a short path (eg C:/temp or C:/tmp) may avoid the issue, but not always.
Hence, to be safe, it is best to enable 8dot3name creation globally, either via the registry or Windows CLI
Sample command to enable globally:
"fsutil 8dot3name set 0"
Sample command to enable on one volume:
"fsutil 8dot3name set X: 0"
Note that this needs a reboot to take effect. You should not disable 8dot3name creation which already has it enabled, especially the system volume (usually C:).

P45 Platinum will not boot Server 2008 with 2x2GB...

I was working through the night last night to get my new rig built and installed with the new SP2 of Server 2008 and was having problems that seem to point to the mobo not liking the optimized settings for my 2x2GB. Hopefully my signature has all the system specs necessary - but do ask if I've left anything out.
What I did:
- Built system with minimal HW:
CPU & cooler, PSU, 2x2GB (slots 1 & 3), GeForce 8600, 2x250GB SATA2 HDs (ports 7 & 8 for JMicron) , 1xSATA2 DVD-RW
- Got POST and configured BIOS:
Load optimized defaults, reset time.
- Added Rest of HW, got POST and configured RAID:
- Integrated Peripherals - RAID Mode: RAID
- Integrated Peripherals - On-Chip ATA Devices - RAID Mode: IDE
- Save & Exit
- CTRL-J: Built 2x250GB JMicron RAID
- Boot to Server 2008 install DVD
- Loaded RAID driver and installed to RAID
- Installation continued (at a wonderfully fast pace), until it hung about 90% through
- Tried re-installing several times, trying things like reconfiguring RAID, using different drivers, etc.
- Then I removed the 2nd RAM in DIMM 3, and re-install completed without a hitch.
- Booted from RAID, configured Server 2008.
- Installed drivers for Intel P45 Chipset, GeForce 8600, Ethernet, and Audio
- Retried having 2 x 2GB in DIMM 1 & 3, and reboot hung during Server 2008 loading bar
- Tried DIMM in 2 & 4 with same results. Again, system POSTs with no problem, seeing all 4GB. But OS hangs on load.
- Ran MemTest on each RAM separately, with no problems after an hour each.
- Put the 1 RAM back in DIMM 1 and used LiveUpdate to successfully Flash BIOS from v1.2 to v1.6
- Reconfigured BIOS (optimized defaults and JMicron RAID)
- Rebooted to Server 2008 successfully with only 1 RAM in DIMM 1
- Tried DIMM in 1 & 3 and 2 & 4, and again hung on OS load.
- With only 1 RAM installed, the OS flies. I did lots of application and utility experimentation to ensure all was functional and stable. Even Defraged the RAID, so I'm pretty sure no HDD problem.
Based on all the forum posts I've read, I'm not sure about why it POSTS but doesn't load the OS, but I bet it has something to do with the mobo being unstable with the default settings for this RAM. Seems too bad as I tried to pick a decent RAM for future OC potential.
Out of fairness, I should point out that I have not yet tried blowing away the OS and reinstalling with my only other option - XP Pro SP3 - and seeing how that fairs. My guess is that it too will be unstable.
Fortunately, I'm still having fun tinkering - so no real frustration to speak of. But any advice on what to do next would be much appreciated...

Finally, in response to RemusM's request, here's the CPU-Z info for Memory, SPD and CPU using the Optimized Default BIOS settings and 1x2GB in DIMM 1:
Then, I spent a late night last night browsing the forums and searching the web. I found a dude with the same mobo, memory and an E8400. He was having similar problems and listed some recommended BIOS Cell settings. I put in my 2x2GB, removed the HW OC FSB jumpers on the mobo and entered the following settings into BIOS Cell and gave it a try:
Multi-Step OC Booster: Mode1
DOT Control: Disabled
Intel EIST: Enabled
Intel C-STATE Tech: Disabled
Adjust CPU FSB Freq: 400
Advancd DRAM Config: (all Auto)
Enhance Settings: Auto
NB Drive Configure: Auto
FSB/DRAM Ratio: 1:1.00 (1333:667)
Clock Gen Tuner: (all Auto)
Adj PCI Freq: Default
Auto Disable DRAM/PCI Freq: Enabled
CPU Voltage - ICH Voltage: (all Auto)
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
Not only did now my system now boot successfully into the OS for the first time with 2x2GB installed, but it seemed stable through my OS config and application installs. What's more, for the cost of taking the DRAM down to 800MHz, I now had the CPU at 3.8GHz!
Here's the new CPU-Z results:
What's next:
- I need to further test stability by downloading and running some decent benchmarks of some type
- I'd love to get some advice on how I could further tune the above settings for increased stability and even better performance, as the memory and CPU seem capable of more if the mobo is...
Thank you for the input and attention so far. Please keep it coming...
