Server 2008 R2 Enterprise - 1 Virtual Disk - Using UEFI - 4.5 TB available - Why 2 Disk 0 - Unallocated space entries?

Hello everyone,
I'm building a new Dell R720 server. It has a RAID 5 - 6 x 1TB array.
I am attempting to install Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I used the build disc supplied by Dell.
The BIOS is UEFI configured.
When I launch installation of Server 2008 R2 Enterprise in the storage area it shows:
Disk 0 Unallocated Space - 2048GB Total Size - Free Space 2048GB
Disk 0 Unallocated Space - 2607GB Total Size - Free Space 2607GB
I would like it to show:
Disk 0 Unallocated Space - 4655GB Total Size - Free Space 4655GB
I want to partition 1 600GB partition for the OS and the rest for storage of Hyper-V VM's.
I understand using GPT to format the volume. But I haven't even allocated anything yet and it is showing 1 virtual drive as 2 entries....
I tried to find a simple answer for what is going on here but I don't really have a lot of time to do hours of research. Just a basic answer would be good if anyone has one. I don't see an initialize option in the RAID controller itself that is of much
help. Maybe someone has configured an R720 and has an answer already for this? It would be appreciated! We litterally need the full amount of storage allocated for the storage of the VM's as they are huge files being moved from an existing failing Hyper-V
server.
Thanks!

So the answer for this; was after contacting Dell the newer generation Dell servers need to be booted up through the lifecycle controller (F10) > UEFI has to be explicitly chosen (Most of the Dell build discs are configured as MBR) and once the Lifecycle
Wizard for OS deployment is completed Windows will detect the total amount of available space correctly. The older Dell models you have to download the Build Utility that is capable of GPT / UEFI configuration.
Just incase anyone else runs into this it is not a Microsoft problem at all.

    Hi there,
    I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 cluster which has 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 SP2
    instances.
    A domain account "Domain\Login" is administrator on both physcial nodes and "sysadmin" on both SQL Server instances.
    Currently both instances are running on same node.
    While logging on to SQL Server instance 2 thru "Domain\Login" using "IP2,port2", I get error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication". This happened in the past
    as well but issue resolved post insatllation of SQL Server 2008R2 SP2. This has re-occurred now. But it connects using 'SQLVirtual2\Instance2' without issue.
    Same login with same rights is able to access Instance 1 on both 'SQLVirtual1\Instance1' and "IP1,port1" without any issue.
    Please help resolve the issue.
    Thanks,

  • 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:).

  • To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

    Dear Sir,
    Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
    2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
    Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
    2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
    3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself).  If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead.  The path of the
    group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
    4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
    5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

  • Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server

    I've been trying fresh installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server several times for two weeks, but always get the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation". At first, I attempted
    to install all features, but failed several times. So I decided to try install just Database Engine service, and still fail at the SqlBrowserConfigAction_Install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32, with the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
    I remote login to server with my admin domain account. This account is in server local Administrators group. I
    1. Right-click on setup.exe file | properties | Compatibility tab | select compatibility to Windows 8.Then click OK.
    2. Right-click on setup.exe file | Run as Administrator, to start the Installation Center.
    I have the document of my installation steps and zip file of the installation logs, if you need to take a look.
    Appreciate for any help!
    ntth

    Hi ntth,
    "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
    The above error is always related to the Windows account SID mapping. I recommend you login into Windows using another Windows account which has administrative privileges and run SQL Server setup using that Windows account.
    Besides, please note that we need to apply SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 or a later update when installing SQL Server Windows Server 2012 R2. For more information, please review this
    KB article.

  • Can I install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ed.?

    Hi, SDN experts.
    I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2?
    I checked the the software requirement for SAP Solution Manager 7.0, it only mentioned Window Server 2003 and 2008  enterprise edition.
    I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2 enterprise edition?
    When I ran the Solution Manager Master Installer, the Pre-requisite Checker gave a warning message saying that it detected incompatible server version, that the server version is Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (I guess it meant Window Server 2008 R2).
    =======
    The following Windows operating system version is supported: Windows Server 2003 (i.e. Version 5.2) and Windows Server 2008 (i.e. Version 6.0).
    Current Windows version: Version 6.1, Service Pack 1.0, productive type: Server.
    You can check the current version of you operating system by runningu2026u2026..
    ========
    Can I actually install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2? Will this cause problem during the installation/post-installation if I ignore this message?
    Thanks,
    KC

    Hi,
    I think it is not straight forward to install SAP Solution Manager 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2.    
    I am installing Solution Manager 7.0 , the installation encountered error on Create Java Users step (Phase 31 of 44). When I login to SAP solution Manager system through SAP GUI. I encountered this error:
    "OS release Windows NT 6.1 7601 Service Pack 1 4x AMD64 Level 6 (Mod 44 Step 2) is not supported with this kernel (700)'
    I found that it is because I am installing SAP Solution Manger 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2, which the existing kernel version does not support.
    Do you know which kernel I should install?
    I browsed in:
    SAP Application Components" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0" Entry by Component" Solution Manager ABAP Stack
    SAP KERNEL 7.00 64-BIT UNICODE --> Windows Server on x64 64bit -->MS SQL SERVER
    I downloaded:
    SAPEXEDB_291-20001361.SAR      Kernel Part II (for Basis 7.00)       291
    Is this the right Kernel patch I should use?
    If it is the right kernel patch file, how do I apply the latest kernel to existing Solution Manager system? Can you give me some guidance on this?
    Thanks,
    KC

  • Activating Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 180 Eval after Upgrade from Win2K8R2 Standard

    I had a licensed instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.  It is an OEM License.
    I wanted to try Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise for 180 days without rebuilding the whole machine so I entered "DISM /online /Set-Edition:Enterprise" on the command line and now I can use the enterprise features. 
    The problem is that I have 30 Days to activate.  When I attempt to activate, it says "Error: 0x8007232B DNS name does not exist"
    How can I activate the 180 day trial?

    How can I activate the 180 day trial?
    "Error: 0x8007232B DNS name does not exist", suggests this server is now configured as a KMSclient, and it is trying to contact a KMShost to perform activation. It is not being returned any SRV records from your DNS, when it queries for _vlmcs._tcp
    If you do not have a KMShost server implemented, you need to input a suitable ServerEnterprise product key.
    When you purchase your ServerEnterprise license, you will be given a product key to use for this.
    For this task, you can use slmgr.vbs /ipk
    For your trial, you could use the method slmgr.vbs /rearm
    this will only succeed 3 times, I think.

  • Does the lnkfix_vista.zip work for window server 2008 R2 enterprise ?

    This issue because there is no SPN for the Front End pool FQDN. Rather than adding an SPN I just deleted my front end server from the topology builder and added a new one using the FQDN of the actual lync server and it worked fine.

  • Can't upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

    Even though the "Windows Server Installation and Upgrade" TechNet article (DN627667) claims that I can upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, it seems I can't. I get an error message saying "Windows 2008
    R2 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (Server Core Installation). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows..." What might be causing this issue? Thanks for any input! :)

    Hi,
    Firstly, for retail versions, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1 can be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter.
    I assume you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 retail version, right?
    In addition, it seems that in earlier version than Windows Server 2012,
    once you install the server in Core or with GUI mode, you could not switch to the other. The only option was to rebuild the server from scratch.
    Did you install Windows Server 2008 R2 in GUI? If yes, I recommend you to upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2 in GUI
    mode to see if the issue persists. If it succeed and you want to run in server core, you can just remove the graphical shell and convert your Windows Server 2012 R2 to Server Core.
    Best regards,
    Susie
    Thanks for replying Susie. The 2008 R2 software is the one provided by Microsoft for Action Pack subscribers, so I'm assuming it's not retail. That's another thing, I think I should be installing the GUI as my 2008 has a GUI, not just the server core. For some
    reason I missed that and clicked on the server core only install!

    What security roles are you talking about?
    built-in server- or database-roles? - those cannot be renamed.
    User-defined roles can be renamed at any point in time without any problems unless you write code that specifically accesses them by name yourself.
