Server 2012 essentials Office 365 integration
I have a couple clients on 2012 Essentials that I've migrated from SBS 2011. I have also moved the clients to Office 365. I have the users setup in the dashboard, and assigned to an Office 365 account.Is there a way to check password sync between server and o365? I have had clients change their passwords online, which I know breaks the sync, but shouldn't a change on the computer re-enable that sync? Short of unassigning/reassinging (which makes the user change their password on next login), is there a way to re-sync the passwords? It almost seem easier to just not have any integration as none of the user accounts seem synced at this time, and I've only had one user out of dozens actually change their password online....Compounding the issue is that with multiple devices, such as phones, and tablets, you may be prompted to change your...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community
Just to update and say i did this, this morning, and it did take a while but my phone did appear in the dashboard.
Including a lot of info about the device!
The Dashboard.Log file seems to contain some logging about the process.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials - Office 365 Integration Module Set Up Error
We receive an error when setting up the Office 365 Integration Module. After we type in the admin credentials for Office 365, it attempts to configure, but then states it couldn't complete and try a reboot of the server. We've rebooted multiple
times, but still face same error. The users in Exchange Online get displayed after closing and reopening the Dashboard, but no other settings like subscription/domain information are pulled into the dashboard. When we click in Users on the Dashboard
and attempt to assign an Office 365 account to an AD account, the Dashboard closes. Any ideas on what's happening? This Win 2012 Essentials has all Windows updates applied.
Thanks,
DaveMy Dashboard Issue was resolved (Susan Bradley Helped Generated A Support Ticket) when i asked the SharePoint Online support to revert my Primary's Site Language from Greek to English. I was one of the first to report this problem and i was working with
Server support for almost 2 months. You don't have the option to set the Language of your Primary site while you activate your Office 365 Subscription. It enables the Primary Language from your Location settings i believe.
Once My main SharePoint Master Site was revert to English (US) my Libraries synced OK with no Dashboard Crashing..... -
Exchange Server 2013 and Office 365 Integration
If we are using Exchange Server 2013 on premise, can we have 2 of our users integrated with Office 365 so that they can utilize their Exchange Server email account with the apps and features of Office 365?
Hi,
You can deploy a hybrid environment using Exchange 2013 CU2 or later version with Office 365.
Could you please tell me what do you mean by "we have 2 of our users integrated with Office 365 so that they can utilize their Exchange Server email account with the apps and features of Office 365"?
Here is my understanding: You create these two mailboxes on Exchange 2013, but you need to allow for redirection from the on-premises OWA environment to the Office 365 OWA. If that is your case, you need to specify a target URL for your organization(for
example, www.outlook.com/contoso.com). If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.

Hope it helps.

Questions on managing Office 365/Exchange Online Mailboxes in Server 2012 Essentials
Wondered if anyone could answer a couple of queries:
When managing Office 365/Exchange Online mailboxes in Windows Server 2012 Essentials:-
1. Does the server itself act as the Exchange server i.e. does it do all of the downloading/sending of emails or does Outlook on each workstation still communicate direct with the Office 365/Exchange Online server address?
2. Does Outlook on each workstation have the Exchange server address set to the internal address of the Server 2012 Essentials box or does it still have the external Office 365/Exchange Online server address?
I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.Hi,
When you integrate Office 365/Exchange Online mailboxes in Windows Server 2012 Essentials,you can see the mailbox usage information on the Essentials Dashboard and manager users. However, the essentials server won't download/send emails and Outlook
will still communicate with the O365/Exchange Online Server. In addition, the Exchange server address would be point to the external server address.
You can also refer to the article below to get more related information:

Do Office 365 integration now (2003) or after upgrade (2012 R2)?
A client has Server 2003 Standard and are going to migrate to Office 365 very soon (from a hosted mail provider, POP). They are also due for a server upgrade, likely Server 2012 R2 Standard. To eliminate the hassle of managing two different systems for their
Windows accounts and email accounts I thought I'd run Federation Services for the Office 365 integration. The problem is they are still trying to find a way to budget for the server upgrade, so it's starting to look like I may have to integrate O365 with 2003
instead of 2012 R2.
I assume its better to integrate Office 365 with 2012 R2 than 2003. If so, why?
If I do integrate with 2003, what type of issues can I expect when I finally upgrade to 2012 R2 (i.e., link between AD or federation services and O365 break, can't manage email from Server 2012 R2 dashboard because feature wasn't available in 2003)?The most important question is, "Does your client currently use Exchange 2003?" Next question is, "Are they planning on running a hybrid Exchange setup?" Information about the current server(s) and its/their role(s) would be good to know too.
At our workplace, We had a 2003/2008/2008 R2 server cluster, with one of the 2003's running Exchange 2003 with 500 mailboxes. If I had known then what I know now, I would have run a cutover migration ASAP. Our AD wasn't current in the Users and Computers
section, so we thought we'd save money by cleaning up the directory, then run a hybrid with the complimentary version of Exchange 2010 that comes with O365 E3. After a while we realized that there were no real advantages for our company to run the hybrid,
so we decided on a cutover. During that conversation, our Exchange server died. We went online with a CSV dump of the AD, archived the old database, and imported PST's on demand.
I take it since your client is strapped for cash, the won't be doling out for Exchange 2010 or 2013. You may also know by now that Exchange 2003
will not run on any edition of Server 2008 or 2012, so they're going to have to drop it.
So, the gameplan I propose to you is this:
1) If you have less that 1,000 mailboxes, run a cutover migration ASAP. If you have unused accounts, clean them out after you make the migration and cancel them in the pricing. The web panel is really easy to use, and the Powershell module is great too.
2a) When (or if) the client is able to acquire 12R2, check the DC first. Some companies have internal domains named "domain" or "company.local". If they plan to do AD Synchronization (I guess for Single Sign-On), that's not going to work. The FQDN must be
mapable to a top-level Internet domain (e.g. .com, .org, .net), and they may have to create a new domain (or even forest) to become compliant. Check this now, and factor it into your pricing.
2b) If 2a is an issue, you may have to install 12 on a separate machine/VM because two forests can't reside on one DC (security issues). If not, upgrade the DC.
3)Run the AD check to make sure the domain is good for synchronization, then sync.
4)It is highly recommended that you do not run federation services on a domain controller, because that would expose it to web traffic. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778681(WS.10).aspx . If possible, run it on a separate machine. 12 Standard
comes with two licenses for 12 running on a Hyper-V host, so you may consider that if the hardware permits. Keep in mind there can be issues with running a domain controller on a virtual machine (I do, and while I know it's not the most secure setup in the
world, most of our firewalling is done at the hardware level). Decide on how you want to situate FS, then bring it online. Recommended practice is to have it in a DMZ, and of course you shouldn't put a DC there.
5) Make sure your certs are good (you have to use a separate subdomain [e.g. fs.company.com] for FS than the internal one), then activate FS. Remember that certificates costs money, but you should only need a domain validation one.
Truth be told, I wouldn't recommend FS for a client that can't afford Server 12. Sit down with them and ask for concrete examples of what they presently do and what they are trying to do. Also ask them if they have the staff to maintain an Active Directory
that is bound to O365 (probably not). During this talk, do not use words like "sync" and "cloud"; they are buzzwords that are certainly misguiding the decision makers. You do not need to have federation in order to use OneDrive with your desktop Excel or to
"access your files from anywhere". If they start to do a lot of SaaS in the future, then they may want to reconsider.
Final Note: Don't bother doing anything with 2003 if you can avoid it. Scrap it as soon as you can. Microsoft ended support for it on the 8th, and O365 support isn't going to help you with it when you eventually need to call (and you will). -
Issue with Office 365 integration module
I have an issue with the Office 365 integration module on one of my customer's Windows Server 2012 Essentials servers.
Recently they switched to a new Office 365 plan, but the integration module still thinks the customer is on the old plan. This doesn't seem to affect functionality at all, so I think it's just cosmetic. On the Office 365 tab of the Windows Server Essentials
dashboard, under Subscription it lists the old plan and says the subscription has expired. Under Licenses it says "your subscription includes 0 licenses" and "0 licenses are assigned to user accounts."
Steps I've tried to resolve this issue:
Created a new Office 365 test user account (after switching plans) and then on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials dashboard clicked 'Change the Office 365 administrator account.' This made no difference.
Uninstalled and then reinstalled the Office 365 integration module. Again, this made no difference.
I suspected there might be an issue in the Office 365 back-end, where the customer's Office 365 account was somehow still associated with the old plan, but they said that wasn't the case.
I opened a service request with Office 365 support about the issue with the server dashboard, but this was their response: "As we are online service support team, we provide limited support on local application extension...you may need to contact the
Windows Server support team for further help."
As it seems to be just a cosmetic issue, I'm not going to open a paid service request with the Windows Server support team, but I'm interested to know if anyone on the forum has struck this issue before or has any suggestions.Not seen this issue myself, you may be right in that it Is just a cosmetic issue, and I would be surprised if a fix was forthcoming even if you opened a case (or we opened a case for you) due to resources having shifted to the Windows 10.
You could grab the OIM logs from programdata\windowsserver\logs and we can see if there is anything obvious in there.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been experimenting with the evaluation version of WS2012e trying to get the installation and subsequent build into an optimal set up, and once I have everything I want it to do mapped out, I'll set it up with the full version with using the key that
I bought.
However, I've noticed that the server seems to experience a delay during cold boot - it sits with a Please Wait screen for about 60-90 seconds before it presents the screen with an option to Log on. I have also discovered from running Health
Report, that there are some entries in the event logs which appear to coincide with start up times, and which seem to be interconnected to each other in the issues they are describing, and I have copied an example of one of those health reports below.
I assume that everything sorts itself out in due course, because the events say the process will be re-attempted and these errors don't repeat again after the system has booted up. I also have the server set to suspend when not in use with the Lights
Out add in, so it shouldn't need to cold boot often - but I wondered if there's a way to correct these errors so that they don't hold up the boot up process? I'm also concerned that these errors will cause me later problems with storage pools and
the like at a later date - the disk replication one seems particularly worrying. Alternatively, are these errors just a normal part of the start up process - the timing of when different processes start relative to each other - and can be safely ignored?
In trying to understand what the events describe, I thought that WE2012e acted as its own Domain Controller, and yet it seems from the event log entries that it is waiting for another server to respond to AD / DC requests (but there isn't another server
on my home network). The other thing I remember from when I first tried out WS2012e, is that it took control of DHCP or DNS from the router, and I found that frustrating when waking up my laptop and it wouldn't connect to the internet until the server
had fully booted up and re-asserted its network settings. Is this another symptom of the same problem? I remember seeing a posting at the SBS Diva's site about how to update the server so that it gave connected PCs a backup option for connecting
to the internet when the server wasn't available, and was going to try to find that again to see if that helped.
By way of background - there isn't another server in my home network. This is an attempt to do a clean install onto the same hardware that I ran the initial trial of WS2012e, now that the trial has expired, so I'm not trying to migrate from an existing
server. I moved all the data on the trial server off onto an external disk, with the intention of importing it back once I had the Storage Pools set up the way I wanted on the new build, and since I didn't want to keep anything else about the server
trial. Am I correct in thinking that I don't need to go down the Migration route during installation, and can go through a Clean install in this circumstance?
I'm running on an Asus P8-H77-i motherboard, with an i5-3470s CPU and 16MB RAM, and I have WS2012e installed on 256Mb SSD formatted under GPT with uEFI boot - the latter being the main reason for the reinstall, instead of just giving the Evaluation
version the new key on the original MBR set up. I've also enabled Intel Rapid Storage and Rapid Start - and successfully set aside the hibernate partition on the SSD - but discovered that this is about forcing a hibernate after suspend, allowing
the system to power down until its needed again, and then resuming from hibernate on the SSD rather than cold boot each time. That seems to work, but doesn't improve the cold boot times at all, which was what I was hoping for - ideally the way my
laptop will boot from cold in a few seconds into Windows 8.
Yours faithfully,
Avon

The security of this directory server can be significantly enhanced by configuring the server to reject SASL (Negotiate,
Kerberos, NTLM, or Digest) LDAP binds that do not request signing (integrity verification) and LDAP simple binds that
are performed on a cleartext (non-SSL/TLS-encrypted) connection. Even if no clients are using such binds,
configuring the server to reject them will improve the security of this server.
Some clients may currently be relying on unsigned SASL binds or LDAP simple binds over a non-SSL/TLS connection,
and will stop working if this configuration change is made. To assist in identifying these clients, if such binds occur this
directory server will log a summary event once every 24 hours indicating how many such binds
occurred. You are encouraged to configure those clients to not use such binds. Once no such events are observed
for an extended period, it is recommended that you configure the server to reject such binds.
For more details and information on how to make this configuration change to the server, please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87923.
You can enable additional logging to log an event each time a client makes such a bind, including
information on which client made the bind. To do so, please raise the setting for the "LDAP Interface Events" event logging category
to level 2 or higher.

Hi Justin,
I'm reading through the links you referred me to but it's taking a while. In the meantime I tried running BPA as you suggested. I'm sure when I ran it before, it didn't say much beyond 81 checks completed, and I couldn't find a way to get any
more detail.
Now it says
Problem:
The DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.
Impact:
If the DNS client is not configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server, DNS name resolution can fail.
Resolution:
To resolve this problem:
1. From the client computer, open the Properties page for the network connection.
2. Make sure that DNS is configured to point only to the internal IP address of the server.
Except that it is.

Migration of Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials
Hi,
I am trying to migrate Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials by following the steps given in the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200112.aspx
I have looked at other threads on the forum but none of them have been too helpful.
The issue: When
I run the Migration Preparation Tool on the Source Server, it runs successfully and does not report any errors. However, when I try installing Windows Server 2012 Essentials on the Destination Server, it displays an error that says 'Source
Server not prepared for migration: After you run the Migration Preparation Tool successfully on your source Server, click retry'.
The Source Server has 2 network adapters-one for the local network and the other for connection to the internet and the router is set as the default gateway this adapter.
Since it is mentioned in the documentation - 'configure your Source Server to use one network adapter', I'm wondering if this is the issue and I need to make changes in this configuration?
On running the Microsoft IT Environment Health Scanner tool it
reported an error - 'DNS Server listening on multiple addresses' and a warning ‘Domain Controller listening on multiple addresses’. Both point to the same solution KB 272294 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272294).
But it did not remove the errors.
Other steps performed:
As per the steps, I performed a backup, installed recent service packs and synchronized the source server time with external source.
On running the Best Practices Analyser. It shows 3 warnings.
- The threshold for the Allocated Memory alert is set to the default value. However the server has more than 2 GB of RAM installed.
- Microsoft Outlook Client not installed" Text="Microsoft Outlook Client is not installed in the ClientApps folder. You must run Windows SBS integrated setup.
- The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The MSFW instance should use the latest available service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
I also ran the Ran netdiag.exe, dcdiag.exe commands
and no failures were reported.
The Event Viewer does not show any errors.
Not sure to what extent these warnings would affect the migration.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!The SBS2003 needs to use one NIC only so you'll need to change that before starting. If it is the premium version and has ISA server installed, that will need to be removed first. See:

How to solve the error 0x80073701 in Server 2012 Essentials?
Good afternoon, I have a big problem when trying to add some roles or features on my Server 2012 Essentials get the error 0x80073701, in my case I am trying to install telnet client and server, but to see if the problem was with them already tried other
roles and features and also the error remains. I thought it was some evil update installed and uninstalled all and the error continues.
Tiago Pinheiro - MCPHi Tiago,
Would you please let me confirm whether the Windows Server 2012 Essentials is migrated from
Previous Versions or a clean install? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
On current situation, please use the following tool to check the integrity of the .NET Framework.
.NET Framework Setup Verification
Tool User's Guide
Please also use
Install-WindowsFeature PowerShell command and check if help you to install Roles and Features on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials successfully.
In addition, Please follow the path: C:\Windows\Logs\CBS and check CBS log file if find more clues.
à
get the error 0x80073701
By the way, the error seems that mean there are some system files are missing, which caused the installation
failure. If it’s not a production environment, maybe consider that run
sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files and monitor the result.
Please Note: since it’s a Windows Server 2012 Essentials, the web configuration file may become corrupted when you run the SFC command. For more details, please refer to following KB.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2) - all client computers offline
The server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2). I have had this problem ever since I first installed the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server in the summer of 2013 (before R2 was released). The Windows Server 2012 Essentials server shows offline
for all Devices under Dashboard. (Allow me to add that I just installed another site with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, and it was a breeze - all of the computers at the second install site are online.) I have one Windows 8.1 Pro client and the rest
are Windows 7 Pro clients. The problem occurs on ALL client computers.
I have removed computers from Devices in Dashboard on the server, rebooted the server, changed the client computer to a workgroup, rebooted the client computer, and reinstalled the connector software on the client computer. Same result. I
have tried this on a Windows 7 Pro client and a Windows 8.1 Pro client with the same results.
After running the connector on a client computer and waiting for the server to update its Devices status, if I look under Devices on the server Dashboard, the Windows 8.1 client computer will say online but within 24 hours it goes offline again. The
Windows 7 client computers never show online. Both computers stay offline - they NEVER show an online status (referring to the status under Devices in Dashboard).
I should make it clear that the clients can access the server shares with no problem. File synchronization works great. The clients can ping the server and the server can ping the clients. But client backups on the server fail.
One of the most troublesome things about this problem is that it prevents the client computers from being accessed remotely using the website setup by Anywhere Access. I can login to get remote access to the shared files on the server, but
the only computer that says "online" is the server. All of the other computers are "offline".
The server and clients are only using Windows firewall. The clients all use Microsoft Security Essentials for their anti-virus.
I used a troubleshooting tool that tells me that there are problems with port 6602 on the server, but the clients are all fine with port 6602. I know port 6602 is important for using Anywhere Access but I am still trying to find out more details on that.
I have checked all of the firewall settings related to port 6602 on the server, and the firewall settings look like the standard Windows settings for this port. I used netstat to find the PID associated with the port, and I looked up the PID to find the service.
That all looked standard, too.
I have been working on this problem since the summer of 2013!! Does anyone have ANY suggestions?!!
HELP!Hi,
Just addition, please check if all necessary Windows updates are installed on those
“Offline” client computer.
When connect client computers to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server by using the Connector software, there
will be LAUNCHPAD on the client computer. Was this LAUNCHPAD grayed out? Please check if can access Shared Folders via this LAUNCHPAD. Meanwhile, please ping the Windows Server 2012 Essentials via IP address and server name when client computers show as
Offline. Any find?
Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials
In addition, please follow the path on Server and client computer:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs. Did you check any relevant Server-side logs and
Client-side Logs if find more clues?
Windows
Server Essentials 2012/2012 R2 Log Files
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.

Server 2012 Essentials Active Directory users
I am in the process of setting up a small business with 40 users and 12 workstations, most of the users will be working in a client site on they workstation and some will have access to anywhere access. I'm aware of essentials limited to 25 users, my question
is can I only create 25 AD accounts or can I create 40, as all 40 users will not require concurrent access at sny given time?Hi,
à
when you say Essentials role experience is included, does this include Remote Anywhere feature in Essentials?
The Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server
2012 R2 Datacenter. When you install the Windows Server Essentials Experience role, you can take advantage of all the features that are available to you in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials without the locks and limits enforced in it. Windows Server Essentials
Experience role enables you to
use the Anywhere Access functionalities on the server (such as Remote Web Access and virtual private networks) to access your server, network computers, and data from remote locations in a highly secure manner. For more details, please refer to following article.
Windows Server Essentials Experience Overview
For configuring Anywhere Access functionalities in Windows Server Essentials, please refer to following article
and check if can help you.
Manage Anywhere Access in Windows Server
Essentials
By the way, if only have Windows Server 2012 Essentials, there are two scenarios in which Windows Server 2012
Essentials can be used in environments with more than 25 users. For more details, please refer to following article.
Using
Windows Server 2012 Essentials with more than 25 users
However, as Cliff and diramoh suggested,
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard with the Windows Server Essentials Experience role installed will be a better option.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Windows Server 2012 Essentials not listed in EasyStartup 3.8.1d for TS140
Recently purchased a TS140 (70A4 001RUS). Came factory installed RAID 1 with Windows Server 2012 Essentials pre-installed. Needed to reinstall, however:
- Windows Server 2012 Essentials does not show up in EasyStartup 3.8.1c DVD that came with server
- Downloaded latest EasyStartup 3.8.1d and created bootable DVD and ran with same result
- "Windows Server 2012" is listed (but not Essentials). Running this installation, it does not recognize the Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD that came with server. Continually asks to insert "Windows Server 2012" disk.
- "Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials" is listed (but not 2012 Essentials). Running this installation, it does not recognize the Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD that came with server. Continually asks to insert "Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials" disk.
- Have booted using UEFI, Legacy and Auto with no difference
- Ran lastest Firmware Updater v1.8.1013 - no updates listed as required
- Have updated BIOS to latest 70A
- Server will also not boot directly from Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD (dvd is set 1st in boot order in bios)
- Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD is readable on other machines - can copy to bootable USB key and run regular Windows installation on server (this is current workaround)
- using the above workaround, drivers must be installed manually.
- EasyStartup 3.8.1d Readme specificly lists Windows Server 2012 Essentials as supported on the TS140 in UEFI and Legacy mode here
As mentioned, the above workaround can work. However, this server may not always be maintained by myself and I would prefer the supplied software to acutally work properly for ease of use by others in the future.I have several TS140s running WSE 2012 R2. Like you said, the easystart does not recognize properly the WSE R2 os, so I just did the basic from disc or USB install after I configured the boot drives or RAID1 array.
The main reason to load the easy start is for drivers, however WSE found and recognized all the hardware in the unit. -
Windows Server 2012 Essentials r2 installed in a hyper-v
I have a virtual host running Server 2012 r2 with Hyper-V enabled and I would like to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials r2 in a virtual environment. The installation starts from a cd and when doing so I receive an error message that says "A media
driver that your computer needs is missing....."
I have successfully install Server 2012 Essentials (not r2) in the same virtual host. Why am I getting this message?Hi,
I’m glad to hear that you have resolved the issue and thanks for sharing your solution in the forum. This will help others who face the same scenario resolve the issue quickly. If there is
anything else I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will be very happy to help.
Best Regards,

Windows Server 2012 Essentials Connector version is more current than server
In trying to connect a new laptop to domain/server, it kept failing with a message indicating that other software was in the process of installing or that a reboot was pending. Since neither was the case, I downloaded the current version of the Connector
software from the Microsoft website to try. That didn't work either. It turns out that a pre-installed software component called Intel Smart Connect Tech was keeping the laptop from connecting. I uninstalled this software and installed the
connector software and it appeared to connect to the server. However, it is displayed in the Essentials Dashboard as Offline. The client (Laptop) displays a message saying "The Windows Server 2012 Essentials Connector version that is installed
on this computer is more recent that the sever. Contact the administrator to ensure the server is up to date". I tried uninstalling the Connector software from Control Panel, but I get a message "Could not delete key \software\microsoft\windows
server. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel". I've tried both with domain admin and local admin credentials. So, I ignored the message and continued the connector install. It finished
and appeared to connect successfully. The connector version displayed in Control Panel\Programs and Features is correct. However, the registry entry is not updated and the version error pops up with each login and the Dashboard shows the client
as offline.Hi C.R.Lowe,
Based on your description, I’m a little confused with this issue. Before going further, would you please let
me confirm something more? Thanks for your understanding.
When connect the client to Windows Server 2012 Essentials, did you mean that use
http://<servername>/Connect
and then select Download software for Windows option? More descriptions, please refer to the following article.
To connect a client computer to the
server
If I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please navigate to the registry path as the error message shows. And check
Version value and let me know. Meanwhile, please right click
Windows Server folder in Registry Editor and select “Permissions…”, then check if the account was assigned the correct permission to delete key.
In addition, please check if you have installed the
Update Rollup 1 for Windows Server 2012 Essentials
By the way, please check Event Viewer and some related logs if can find some more clues. If any update, please
feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
