Shared VHDX with Windows 2012 R1. Any plans?

Hi all, i have two servers connected to a SAN through SAS HBA adapters. I have Windows 2012 R1 Std, i want to use the Shared VHDX feuture (introduced with Windows 2012 R2...). Are there any plans to provide this feuture to those poor guys who already bought
Windows 2012 R1?
Thank you in advance, George...
From what I know there are no plans to back-port shared VHDX to plain vanilla Windows Server 2012. Shared VHDX is one of the key selling points to make people upgrade to R2 so it's financially not interesting to MSFT to support new features with non-R2.
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

How to Upgrade Service Manager 2012 SP1 with Windows 2008 R2 to SCSM 2012 R2 with Windows 2012 R2

Hi,
We are using Service Manager 2012 SP1 UR2 with Windows 2008 R2.
I am planning to upgrade Service Manager to R2 with Windows 2012 R2. I found the steps to upgrade SCSM 2012 Sp1 to R2 but need assistance to upgrade with 2012 R2 OS.
Please suggest how to achieve the above mentioned objective.
Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

Virtualization solves this problem handily, by allowing you to create a new server to run the new program on the same hardware. it also solves the related problem of moving off unsupported hardware without changing OS or application. VMware is my personal
favorite, but Hyper-V, Xen, and VirtualBox all have similar capabilities.
Compare the cost of work and confidence in success of a upgrade, where any of thousands or millions of uncontrolled settings could cause an issue, to the cost of work and confidence in success of installing a new OS instance and configuring a known state
for the new environment.
In short, upgrades should no longer be a thing. there are just too many ways they can go wrong, and it's far too easy to create a new OS with minimal expense and effort.

File sharing bug with windows in mountain lion

File Sharing Bug with Windows
Hi,
there are some windows in our firm and we're sharing the files using File Sharing. The problem is that the windowses can see the files not only the ones in public folder, but also whole disk, like Desktop, Library etc. When i installed Lion, it was happened again for one time. But then it fixed in a way which i don't know. After Mountain Lion, this problem occurs again.
So, why can it be happened and how do i fix it? please help me.

Replace Windows 2003 DC with Windows 2012 R2 Foundation

Hi
We are a small office (7 users) that currently have one Windows 2003 Server configured as a domain controller running DNS,DHCP and file services for users. All computers (7) are joined into local domain. All users have mapped drives to 2003 server shares
and redirected (offline) folders for my-documents configured.
Due to an old hardware, we decided to buy a new server with Windows 2012 R2 FOUNDATION licence. For our company I thing this will be the best choice, since Foundation has CAL's 'included' in license, and for our requirements will be more than enough.
Foundation server limit is that server must be the root domain controller in a domain that has no trusts at the root of the forest. My question is how can we 'replace' old server with a new one (what are the steps) ? I'm thinking the following scenario:
- install server and promote it to a DC with a new local domain name in the new forest
- copy all data from old server the the new one
- put all computers out of old domain and put them back into the new domain that is running on 2012 foundation.
- power off old server
Most of the work will be with computers, that need to be reconfigured to a new domain ?
Is this the right approach, are there any other (better) options ?
Just thinking... Is it possible to join 2012 Foundation into existing domain, than transfer all roles from old server to the new one, and at the end demote old server and power it off (I know this is standard approach in Windows Server Standard editions
Thank you in advance
Mike

Hi,
There is no necessary to create a new domain. we can add the new DC to your current domain, then transfer FSMO, related settings and main service roles to the new DC.
Reference the link provided by Alceryes to add Windows Server 2012 R2 to your current domain. and then reference link below for
Active Directory Migration from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 R2：
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/04/02/step-by-step-active-directory-migration-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
Besides, for DHCP migration from 2003 to 2012, you can reference：
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/04/29/step-by-step-migration-of-dhcp-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
For DNS migration, install DNS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2, and configure it as secondary DNS servers to the old DNS servers. Do replication, once completed, change it from secondary to primary. Remove old server and also clear their record in
new DNS. Checklist: Migrate a DNS Server(also applied for WS 2012 R2), for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755303.aspx
It is better to do a test lab and backup related data before migration in your current environment.

How to set up an clasic TS-desktop with Windows 2012 (R2)?

Hi,
How to set up an clasic TS-desktop with Windows 2012 (R2)?
Witch Roles and Features do I need, RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker, RD Licensing?
/SaiTech

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Based on your description provided, I can understand that you want to setup RDS server 2012 R2 and want information how to achieve that. If misunderstood then please correct.
If yes, then there is different option related to setup. There are 2 option for configuring.
1. Role based or Feature based installation
2. Remote Desktop services installation
For normal RDS environment, you can use 2nd option and then perform Quick start Deployment where 3 roles can be installed RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host and RD Web access. After this you can also publish RemoteApp and can use.
You can refer following article for more information.
a) Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Quick Start Deployment for RemoteApp, Windows
Server 2012 Style
b) Step by Step Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services – Part 1
Hope it helps!

Unable to sync Iphone4 with windows 8.1 any suggetions

Were you using the latest version of iTunes - 10.1.2.x ?
For Windows machines there is a specific order of deinstallation that must be followed. If you didn't do it the way Apple specifies you may not have actually reinstalled the failing item.
Here is the correct method: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If neither of those items are your problem... I'll have to let someone smarter than myself have a go at it ;-/

Problem with windows not liking any files named prn

I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files
called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like
prn.html then it will say "File already exists".
I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was
getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html
using cffile.
Does anyone know a work around for it?

Hi,
Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you
can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are
reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device
drivers...

Exchange 2007 with windows 2012 R2 domain controllers environment.

Hello,
I am planning to upgrade to AD windows 2012 R2 from 2008 in 2003 on funtional level for domain and forrest, my question is, is 2007 exchange (Version build: 08.03.0245.001) supported on 2012 R2 domain environment on 2008 funtional level?
I am planning to upgrade exchange later in december to exchange 2013 but not now.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
At present, there is no official article to verify whether exchange 2007 is supported on windows server 2012 R2 domain.
But I agree with damird's suggestion.
And you don't install exchange 2007 on windows server 2012 r2.

Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

Hello,
I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
Thanks,
Michael.

All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.

Teaming with Windows 2012 DC (Datacenter Edition) Hyper V Host servers

HI
We are preparing 2 Windows 2012 R2 DC edition servers, each of them has 4 NICs, planning to configure both HV host and guest clustering. One NIC will be used for host / HV management and Host cluster traffic, other 3 NICs will be configured in a
single team. These 3 NICs are connected to 2 differenet switches and our intention is to utilize the full bandwidhth. Teaming is configured as Switch Independent / Dynamic load balancing mode. Is this the right configuration? Also each of the VMs
will configured in different VLANs through VLAN IDs.
Thansk in advance
LMS

Hi,
Although we do not recommend this, you can enable domain controllers as a cluster node in Windows Server versions earlier than Windows Server 2012. However, starting with
Windows Server 2012, we no longer support this configuration. We do not support combining the AD DS role and the failover cluster feature in Windows Server 2012.
At same time we don’t recommend install other role with Hyper-V with on the same server.
Hope this helps.

Teaming options with Windows 2012 R2 Host for HV Guests

Hi
We are configuring Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers for Win 2008 / Win 2012 Guest servers. We have 3 NICs and using one for host management and other two in windows teaming. We read many blogs and supported configurations, but still not clear about
the options with teaming. Usually with teaming we select the default options such as Switch Independent Teaming mode, Dynamic Load Balancing mode with no standby adapter. Recently with this teaming configuration we faced issues with host servers on multiple
Windows 2012 R2 standard host servers (the guest hang multiple times) and when we removed one of the NICs from team it started working fine. With the switches we didn't find any issues nor with NICs. Is it because of the default team options? Should we go
with Hyper V port Load balancing mode?
Expect support from you guys. Thanks in advance

TCP Chimney is not supported with NIC teaming in Windows Server 2012 R2 since TCP Chimney has the entire networking stack offloaded to the NIC, please check you have disable
it.
