Server 2012 R2 Crashes with NIC Team

Server 2012 R2 Core configured for Hyper-V. Using 2-port 10Gbe Brocades, we want to use NIC teaming for guest traffic. Create the team... seems fine. Create the virtual switch in Hyper-V, and assign it to the NIC team... seems fine. Create
a VM, assign the network card to the Virtual switch... still doing okay. Power on the VM... POOF! The host BSOD's. If I remove the switch from the VM, I can run the VM from the console, install the OS, etc... but as soon as I reassign the virtual
NIC to the switch, POOF! Bye-bye again. Any ideas here?
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: A little more info... Two 2-port Brocades and two Nexus 5k's. Running one port on NIC1 to one 5k, and one port on NIC2 to the other 5k. NIC team is using Switch Independent Mode, Address Hash load balancing, and all adapters active.

Hi,
Have you updated the NIC driver to latest?
If issue persists after updating the driver, we can use WinDbg to analyze a crash dump.
If the NIC driver cause the BSOD, please consult the NIC manufacture about this issue.
For detailed information about how to analyze a crash dump, please refer to the link below,

Windows Server 2012 R2 - Hyper-V NIC Teaming Issue

Hi All,
I have cluster windows server 2012 R2 with hyper-v role installed. I have an issue with one of my windows 2012 R2 hyper-v host.
The virtual machine network adapter show status connected but it stop transmit data, so the vm that using that NIC cannot connect to external network.
The virtual machine network adapter using Teamed NIC, with this configuration:
Teaming Mode : Switch Independent
Load Balance Algorithm : Hyper-V Port
NIC Adapter : Broadcom 5720 Quad Port 1Gbps
I already using the latest NIC driver from broadcom.
I found a little trick for this issue by disable one of the teamed NIC, but it will happen again.
Anyone have the same issue with me, and any workaround for this issue?
Please Advise
Thanks,

WAAS issue with NIC teaming

Hi,
Can someone tell me what has the NIC teaming effect on WAAS.
I was preparing a demo for one of my client but before this they were using another popular WAAS product. According to my client, they had a big network issue with NIC teaming, i.e one ip and 2 mac addresses with server loadsharing.
scenario.
Before the demo i just wanted to confirm that WAAS has nothing to do with the above mentioned problem...can anybody confirm...

Hmm... Still not quite sure what your saying. It sounds like by coincidence the other accelerator box got the same IP as one of their servers. They should have been able to fix that quite simple, not to mention test for it by doing the equivalent of "show int" on the box before plugging it in.
Or possibly they had some type of proxy arp configured wrong?
Either way we're running WAAS boxes on our networks that have teaming of NIC's via HP's teaming utility using "Transmit load balancing" on the servers. The WAAS boxes are configured for ether-channeling their NIC's and using WCCP for traffic redirection.
Actually, if you did them using WCCP rather than inline, there definitely shouldn't be a MAC conflict since the WAAS boxes will be on a different subnet at that point. No chance of a problem like that with Layer-3 separation...

SR-IOV Uplink Port with NIC Teaming

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my uplink port profile and logical switch with NIC Teaming and SR-IOV support. In Hyper-V this was easy, just had to create the NIC Team (which I configured as Dynamic & LACP) then check the box on the virtual switch.
I'm VMM it does not seem to like to enable NIC Teams with SR-IOV:
Can anyone advise? I'm not using any virtual ports. I just want all my VMs to connect to the physical switch though the LACP NIC Team, something which I thought would be simple.
I have a plan B - don't use Microsoft's NIC Teaming and instead use the Intel technology to present all the adapters as one to the host. I'd rather no do this.
Thanks
MrGoodBytes

Hi Sir,
"SR-IOV does have certain limitations. If you configure port access control lists (ACLs), extensions or policies in the virtual switch, SR-IOV is disabled because its traffic totally bypasses the switch.
You can’t team two SR-IOV network cards in the host. You can, however, take two physical SR-IOV NICs in the host, create separate virtual switches and team two virtual network cards within a VM. "
There is really a limitation when using NIC teaming :

IBM MCS Server RUnning Unity with NIC Teaming

All,
has anyone ever run NIC teaming on and IBM MCS Server with Unity before? At question is the fact that many severs create a virtual MAC address that is different from either of the actual MACs when you team NICs. If this is the case on the IBM Servers then we may need to request an updated license. The servers are branded as Cisco MCS-7835-I1
units.
Thanks in advance. All replies rated!

Hi
According to this doc: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/product_solution_overview0900aecd80091615.html
The 7825-I4 is an IBM IBM x3250-M2. You can use that model number to search the IBM drivers page for the things you need:
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/systemx/selectFixes
I think the NIC teaming comes with the Network Drivers.

VMQ issues with NIC Teaming

Hi All
Apologies if this is a long one but I thought the more information I can provide the better.
We have recently designed and built a new Hyper-V environment for a client, utilising Windows Server R2 / System Centre 2012 R2 however since putting it into production, we are now seeing problems with Virtual Machine Queues. These manifest themselves as
either very high latency inside virtual machines (we’re talking 200 – 400 mSec round trip times), packet loss or complete connectivity loss for VMs. Not all VMs are affected however the problem does manifest itself on all hosts. I am aware of these issues
having cropped up in the past with Broadcom NICs.
I'll give you a little bit of background into the problem...
Frist, the environment is based entirely on Dell hardware (Equallogic Storage, PowerConnect Switching and PE R720 VM Hosts). this environment was based on Server 2012 and a decision was taken to bring this up to speed to R2. This was due to a number
of quite compelling reasons, mainly surrounding reliability. The core virtualisation infrastructure consists of four VM hosts in a Hyper-V Cluster.
Prior to the redesign, each VM host had 12 NICs installed:
Quad port on-board Broadcom 5720 daughter card: Two NICs assigned to a host management team whilst the other two NICs in the same adapter formed a Live Migration / Cluster heartbeat team, to which a VM switch was connected with two vNICs exposed to the
management OS. Latest drivers and firmware installed. The Converged Fabric team here was configured in LACP Address Hash (Min Queues mode), each NIC having the same two processor cores assigned. The management team is identically configured.
Two additional Intel i350 quad port NICs: 4 NICs teamed for the production VM Switch uplink and 4 for iSCSI MPIO. Latest drivers and firmware. The VM Switch team spans both physical NICs to provide some level of NIC level fault tolerance, whilst the remaining
4 NICs for ISCSI MPIO are also balanced across the two NICs for the same reasons.
The initial driver for upgrading was that we were once again seeing issues with VMQ in the old design with the converged fabric design. The two vNics in the management OS for each of these networks were tagged to specific VLANs (that were obviously accessible
to the same designated NICs in each of the VM hosts).
In this setup, a similar issue was being experienced to our present issue. Once again, the Converged Fabric vNICs in the Host OS would on occasion, either lose connectivity or exhibit very high round trip times and packet loss. This seemed to correlate with
a significant increase in bandwidth through the converged fabric, such as when initiating a Live Migration and would then affect both vNICS connectivity. This would cause packet loss / connectivity loss for both the Live Migration and Cluster Heartbeat vNICs
which in turn would trigger all sorts of horrid goings on in the cluster. If we disabled VMQ on the physical adapters and the team multiplex adapter, the problem went away. Obviously disabling VMQ is something that we really don’t want to resort to.
So…. The decision to refresh the environment with 2012 R2 across the board (which was also driven by other factors and not just this issue alone) was accelerated.
In the new environment, we replaced the Quad Port Broadcom 5720 Daughter Cards in the hosts with new Intel i350 QP Daughter cards to keep the NICs identical across the board. The Cluster heartbeat / Live Migration networks now use an SMB Multichannel configuration,
utilising the same two NICs as in the old design in two isolated untagged port VLANs. This part of the re-design is now working very well (Live Migrations now complete much faster I hasten to add!!)
However…. The same VMQ issues that we witnessed previously have now arisen on the production VM Switch which is used to uplink the virtual machines on each host to the outside world.
The Production VM Switch is configured as follows:
Same configuration as the original infrastructure: 4 Intel 1GbE i350 NICs, two of which are in one physical quad port NIC, whilst the other two are in an identical NIC, directly below it. The remaining 2 ports from each card function as iSCSI MPIO
interfaces to the SAN. We did this to try and achieve NIC level fault tolerance. The latest Firmware and Drivers have been installed for all hardware (including the NICs) fresh from the latest Dell Server Updates DVD (V14.10).
In each host, the above 4 VM Switch NICs are formed into a Switch independent, Dynamic team (Sum of Queues mode), each physical NIC has
RSS disabled and VMQ enabled and the Team Multiplex adapter also has RSS disabled an VMQ enabled. Secondly, each NIC is configured to use a single processor core for VMQ. As this is a Sum of Queues team, cores do not overlap
and as the host processors have Hyper Threading enabled, only cores (not logical execution units) are assigned to RSS or VMQ. The configuration of the VM Switch NICs looks as follows when running Get-NetAdapterVMQ on the hosts:
Name                           InterfaceDescription
Enabled BaseVmqProcessor MaxProcessors NumberOfReceive

Load is hardly an issue on these NICs and a single core seems to have sufficed in the old design, so this was carried forward into the new.
The loss of connectivity / high latency (200 – 400 mSec as before) only seems to arise when a VM is moved via Live Migration from host to host. If I setup a constant ping to a test candidate VM and move it to another host, I get about 5 dropped pings
at the point where the remaining memory pages / CPU state are transferred, followed by an dramatic increase in latency once the VM is up and running on the destination host. It seems as though the destination host is struggling to allocate the VM NIC to a
queue. I can then move the VM back and forth between hosts and the problem may or may not occur again. It is very intermittent. There is always a lengthy pause in VM network connectivity during the live migration process however, longer than I have seen in
the past (usually only a ping or two are lost, however we are now seeing 5 or more before VM Nework connectivity is restored on the destination host, this being enough to cause a disruption to the workload).
If we disable VMQ entirely on the VM NICs and VM Switch Team Multiplex adapter on one of the hosts as a test, things behave as expected. A migration completes within the time of a standard TCP timeout.
VMQ looks to be working, as if I run Get-NetAdapterVMQQueue on one of the hosts, I can see that Queues are being allocated to VM NICs accordingly. I can also see that VM NICs are appearing in Hyper-V manager with “VMQ Active”.
It goes without saying that we really don’t want to disable VMQ, however given the nature of our clients business, we really cannot afford for these issues to crop up. If I can’t find a resolution here, I will be left with no choice as ironically, we see
less issues with VMQ disabled compared to it being enabled.
I hope this is enough information to go on and if you need any more, please do let me know. Any help here would be most appreciated.
I have gone over the configuration again and again and everything appears to have been configured correctly, however I am struggling with this one.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Gleb
I can't seem to attach any images / links until my account has been verified.
There are a couple of entries in the ndisplatform/Operational log.
Event ID 7- Querying for OID 4194369794 on TeamNic {C67CA7BE-0B53-4C93-86C4-1716808B2C96} failed. OidBuffer is failed. Status = -1073676266
And
Event ID 6 - Forwarding of OID 66083 from TeamNic {C67CA7BE-0B53-4C93-86C4-1716808B2C96} due to Member NDISIMPLATFORM\Parameters\Adapters\{A5FDE445-483E-45BB-A3F9-D46DDB0D1749} failed. Status = -1073741670
And
Forwarding of OID 66083 from TeamNic {C67CA7BE-0B53-4C93-86C4-1716808B2C96} due to Member NDISIMPLATFORM\Parameters\Adapters\{207AA8D0-77B3-4129-9301-08D7DBF8540E} failed. Status = -1073741670
It would appear as though the two GUIDS in the second and third events correlate with two of the NICs in the VM Switch team (the affected team).
Under MSLBFO Provider/Operational, there are also quite a few of the following errors:
Event ID 8 - Failing NBL send on TeamNic 0xffffe00129b79010
How can I find out what tNIC correlates with "0xffffe00129b79010"
Without the use of the nice little table that I put together (that I can't upload), the NICs and Teams are configured as follows:
Production VM Switch Team (x4 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port NICs. As above, the team itself is balanced across physical cards (two ports from each card). External SCVMM Logical Switch is uplinked to this team. Serves
as the main VM Switch for all Production Virtual machines. Team Mode is Switch Independent / Dynamic (Sum of Queues). RSS is disabled on all of the physical NICs in this team as well as the Multiplex adapter itself. VMQ configuration is as follows:
Interface Name          -      BaseVMQProc          -        MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
VM_SWITCH_ETH01                  10
     1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH02                  12
1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH03                  14
   1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH04                16
    1                           VMQ
SMB Fabric (x2 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port on-board daughter card. As above, these two NICs are in separate, VLAN isolated subnets that provide SMB Multichannel transport for Live Migration traffic and CSV Redirect / Cluster
Heartbeat data. These NICs are not teamed. VMQ is disabled on both of these NICs. Here is the RSS configuration for these interfaces that we have implemented:
Interface Name         -      BaseVMQProc         -        MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
SMB_FABRIC_ETH01                18                                   2
RSS
SMB_FABRIC_ETH02                18                                   2
RSS
ISCSI SAN (x4 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port NICs. Once again, no teaming is required here as these serve as our ISCSI SAN interfaces (MPIO enabled) to the hosts. These four interfaces are balanced across two physical cards as per
the VM Switch team above. No VMQ on these NICS, however RSS is enabled as follows:
Interface Name          -      BaseVMQProc        -         MaxProcs
   -        VMQ / RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH01                    2                                    2
RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH02                    6                                    2
RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH03                    2
2                            RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH04                   6
2                            RSS
Management Team (x2 Interfaces) - The second two interfaces of the Intel i350 Quad Port on-board daughter card. Serves as the Management uplink to the host. As there are some management workloads hosted in this
cluster, a VM Switch is connected to this team, hence a vNIC is exposed to the Host OS in order to manage the Parent Partition. Teaming mode is Switch Independent / Address Hash (Min Queues). As there is a VM Switch connected to this team, the NICs
are configured for VMQ, thus RSS has been disabled:
Interface Name        -         BaseVMQProc        -         MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
MAN_SWITCH_ETH01                 22                                  1
VMQ
MAN_SWITCH_ETH02                 22                                  1                           VMQ
We are limited as to the number of physical cores that we can allocate to VMQ and RSS so where possible, we have tried balance NICs over all available cores where practical.
Hope this helps.
Any more info required, please ask.
Kind Regards
Matt

Windows Server 2012: SMB share with transparent failover

Have a nice day to all!
I have 2 HP Proliant DL380P Gen8 servers containing 8 x 1TB disks (with P420i HP Smart Array RAID Controller) in each server.
So, there are 2 arrays on every server:
1. 2 x 1TB in RAID1 (+1 disk for hot swap) - system volume
2. 5 x 1TB in RAID5 (+1 disk for hot swap) - data volume
And I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard on each server.
Than I created a failover two-nodes cluster.
And now I want to create a SMB share with transparent failover for all the second (data) volume (it's about 3.3TB in RAID5 array). How just can I reach this goal? I'm going to use it in future for Hyper-V VMs, so, the main reqirement is powered-on and working
VMs even if one node of SMB share cluster is failed.
I wasn't able to see my volumes in failover cluster manager. I tried to create iSCSI targets, storage pools, virtual disks, etc. but no luck. My failover cluster manager can't see it to create SMB share!
Can anyone advice me something?
Thanks in advance!

You need to have your storage you want to export as being a shared storage visible to your cluster (part of CSV). Then you'll configure failover file shares using content accessible from both cluster nodes. Refer to this manual for diagrams (ignore StarWind
and replace it logically with your existing shared storage you've used to create your cluster):
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/configuring-ha-file-server-on-windows-server-2012-for-smb-nas
Also see these manuals from MS on how to create failover file server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753969.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844(v=ws.10).aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/19/working-with-file-shares-in-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clusters.aspx
However if you want to use existing storage located on the both nodes you're out of luck. Microsoft does not provide anything representing local DAS to the cluster nodes. If you want to use existing DAS then you'll have to stick with a third-party product
like StarWind, SteelEye or DataCore. To create something like in this picture:
So you'll have a configuration with only two nodes, no physical shared hardware (SAS JBOD, FC or iSCSI) and vSAN. Refer to this manual:

Hope this helped :)

Active Directory Administrative Center (Server 2012 R2) crashes when running global search

When running a global search in ADAC using the Server 2012 R2 version, it always without fail crashes when initiating a search using the global search option. This occurs when running natively on a server or using RSAT on Windows 8.1. The error seems
to be due to the .NET Runtime.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix/workaround?

Just to keep this problem alive... ADAC on Windows 8.0 was running fine (Global search was the best part) and it was super fast when comparing with Windows 7 ADAC version. The problem occured with Windows 8.1 Preview and continued with Windows 8.1.
It seems the problem lies with some powershell library, because it is also impossible to uninstall RSAT tools because of the "API and Powershell cmdlets" part of WSUS remote server tools. I tried removing this package through DISM commands and it always
fails. CBS log file show some error about registry entry being deleted. When I've checked TiWorker.exe execution during DISM removal, the problem occure while checking for a particular registry entry about Microsoft.Update.Administration or something, which
is present as a registry entry and also as a file in the WinSxS folder, so it remains a mistery why this error occure.
What I've notices is that ADAC crashes also when trying to change DC. The error is the same, but when debugged, it seems that the application is trying to remove the previous PSDrive, which does not exist.
My assumption is that someone erroneusly tried to connect the console just with the DC with Windows Server 2012 R2 OS, and then made a mistake not to check within the code if the PSDrive was connected. This is the only thing that make sense.

WSUS on Server 2012 Standard R2 with SCCM 2012 Standard R2 Proper Setup

What is the proper setup (best practice) on setting up WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2 to work properly with SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 on separate box?
1. Is it using WID or database during the setup of WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2?
2. Once it setup properly on WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2 either WID or database (using SQL 2012 Standard SP1), how do I connect with SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 on separate box?
3. On SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 just need to add WSUS Role, right? Is it using WID or database?
Thanks,
Reza

1. Generally, using the SQL instance you use for ConfigMgr is preferred.
2. The Software Update Point connects ConfigMgr to a WSUS instance.
3. See 2.
Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com
It's just as Jason said. The SUP role in SCCM basically "sits on top" of the WSUS role, whether it is local or remote is up to you. You basically install WSUS on a server like you normally would WITHOUT configuring it. I have used both WID and SQL. It's
always nicer to put it on your SQL server since that is (should be) backed up regularly and maintained.
Once you have WSUS installed you just point SCCMs SUP role at the installation and it takes over the rest.

Server 2012 Direct Access Single NIC cant get it to work

Hi,
I am having some real issues with setting up Direct Access with Server 2012 and a Windows 8 client, it simply won’t work at all.
First of all I should describe my setup:
I have an internet connection with a static IPv4 address on the external network adapter of the router
The internal network address (the address of the router which has the internet connection) is 192.168.1.1
Server1 (windows 2008 R2 Standard) has a static IPv4 address 192.168.1.2 and has some ports forwarded from the router (443, 25, 80) this server is a domain controller, email server, and has the DNS, DHCP and
certificate services
Server 2 (Windows 2008 R2 standard) has static IPv4 address 192.168.1.3 it has no ports forwarded from the router as it has no services accessed externally, it is used as a file server and print server, backup
domain controller and backup DNS.
Server 3 (Windows 2012) has static IPv4 address 192.168.1.4 and has the Remote Access server role installed along with all the other default features and roles it requires in the setup process.
These servers have all got an IPv6 address which I assume the server has configured automatically, there has been no deliberate configurations made to disable IPv6
I have no UAG or proxy server or anything else to route packets to internal servers. Just this router which has the option for port forwarding (I assume that’s NAT isn’t it?) sorry don’t know much about that
area.
I go through the setup wizard in remote access to configure direct access, in the external URL I have entered da.mydomain.com and created a host A record in my external domain name providers DNS which points
the da record to my external IP address. The wizard creates all the GPO’s, scoped correctly, and applied to a Windows 8 client. The operational status shows its all working and I got green ticks. However, when I connect the client to the internal network it
doesn’t seem to have correctly got the DA settings. I run the following in powershell
Get-DnsClientNrptPolicy
Nothing displays – at all
Get-NCSIPolicyConfiguration

I go into services.msc and find that the network connectivity assistant is not started, it wont start either something must trigger it but I have no idea how to get it triggered to start… this might be my only
source of problem perhaps but on a more network level question:
If I have such ports as 80, and 443 (which I assume DA uses in some form with a public IPv4 internet address) directed at server 1, how does the DA connection get to server 3 which has the DA role installed?
I could create another record on the server which also opens port 443 to server as well as for server 1, but then how would the router know which server to pass the DA connection to if the same port is open for two different servers?
Either way, this first issue is that the client doesn’t seem to have the ability to connect internally correctly yet, so maybe this connectivity service is a good place to start? My understanding is that the
networks icon in the system tray should show that there is a corporate connection, but it doesn’t. also, the client seems to have the NLS certificate in the computer certificate store, so the cert side of things is working and the GPO side is working.
Many thanks

ahh i see, so just to enlighten me even further...
If a company has two web servers that would mean they would need two different public facing IP addresses so they can route to each internal web server. If, like the big companies have, they
may have many web servers (possibly more than 100) I’m assuming that simply buying more public IP addresses would have a limit, especially since the IPv4 address space is pretty much exhausted. So is this where proxy systems come into play like ISA and Forefront,
is this what they do?
I assume if such a product was implemented you could go down to just one or two public IP addresses, point all traffic to the ISA server and that in turn would do all the routing of packets
to each server behind the NAT/router (probably based on some sort of domain name or sub domain namespace as it’s parameter for forwarding?)
Secondly, what I have done is installed windows server 2012 and used that as a direct access client (I read on another forum that the windows 8 RP doesn’t have the enterprise bits to make this
work). I have got much further with the 2012 server acting as a client (installed on laptop, installed desktop experience and wireless LAN),
but when I run the following command on my DA client I get the following status
Get-DAConnectionStatus
Status:
connectedlocally
Substatus:
none
This appears to work fine, when im connected to the local network. But then I disconnect and run the command again and I get the following:
Status:
Error
Substatus:
NameResolutionFailure
On my router what I did is temporarily disable port 443 going to my original server and instead opened it up pointing to my other server, so 443 traffic should be going to my DA server now, but I don’t understand why its giving the name resolution failure
status. I have a host A record called “da” with my domain hoster, and entered the full domain namespace in the DA wizard as da.mydomain.com (the Host A record has been up there for more than a week so it’s propagated through the net)
So, a bit further but stuck again.

Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 Scan to Folder - Windows Server 2012 Error: Authentication with the destination has failed check settings

I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.
Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
Administrative Tools
Server Manager
Features
Group Policy Manager
Forest: ...
Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
Policies
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Security Options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
- Define This Policy
- Disabled
However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
I have also tried the following at the server:
Policies -> Security Policies
Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.
Are there any other things I have missed?

I can email anybody the firmware module if interested and how to...
Tell me your model and email

SSRS 2012, SQL Server 2012. Problem with changing database

Hi all!
I have a problem with changing database for SSRS.
I have a SSRS 2012 and SQL Server 2012. These programs is on WIndows Server 2012.
I need to link SSRS to the new database instance. For this I run SSRS Configeration Manager, open tab Database, click Change Database. Then I choose option "Choose an existing report server database", click Next, write the server name, test
connection (it's successed) and push Next again. Then I see this error message:
Error
The feature: "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
OK
I'm confused, cause I have compatible versions of programs and THIS error.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

Hi Kirill,
From the error message, we can know that the issue may be caused by incorrect editions of SQL Server for report data sources are used as the Report Server Database.
When creating a report server database, please be aware that not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. So we should make sure that we have used the correct database as the
Report Server Database. For more details, please refer to the “Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements” section in the following document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

SSRS 2012 - Windows Server 2012 R2 issue with OLEDB Connection String

Hoping someone can help. As stated above, we are running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2. When I create a Data Source as follows in Reporting Services, I receive the following error message. Any thoughts on why this fails? The same data
source works on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SQL Server 2008 R2.

Hi ABAA101,
According to your description, when you use csv file as data source in SSRS 2012 report, you got the error message.
I tested the issue in my local machine, due to some policy restrictions, I could not install Access in my local machine. To workaround the issue, we can use the connection string like below:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\report;
Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"
The csv file is stored in report folder in C driver.
In Query text box in the dataset, we can use the query like below:
Select * from new.csv
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu
