Unable to install Device CALs on Windows Server 2012 after OS Reinstall

Due to a hardware fault we had to reinstall Windows Server 2012. I have activated the Terminal Services licensing Server but I am unable to install Device CALs that we have purchased.
The error is as follows:
"Remote Desktop Services Licensing is unable to process your request. Make sure you provided correct information. If the problem persists, try other methods of activation. Error code is 800"
I tried contacting technical support over phone - they are also unable to resolve the issue.

Hi, thanks for response.
I contacted Clearing House over phone and provided them with all the details regarding authorization
number(s), license number(s) et al. However they also mentioned that there is some technical error from their "tool" and directed me to Technet Forum.
I shall try the Hotfix

How to install device cals on Windows Server 2012 standard edition

Hello i have a windows server 2012 standard edition licence that i have taken on rent from an ISP.
i have created a domain controller on that.
By default only two users can use remote desktop to the server simultaneously.
My Requirement is 20 users can use remote desktop to the server at the same time.For that i have purchased 20 Delive CALs licences like volume licencing.
i have the licence number noted on the paper.
do i need to install remote desktop services first etc ?
Could anyone guide me step by step how can i install or configure so that 20 users can use remote desktop on the same time.

Hi,
Any update about the issue?
I would agree with others, you need to install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses.
There are three methods by which you can install Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) onto your license server:
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses Automatically
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses by Using a Web Browser
• Install Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses by Using the Telephone
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725890.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Then you can install both Per User and Per Device CALs onto the same license server.

Trying to install WSUS role on Windows Server 2012 R2 using dedicated SQL Instance with static port on remote SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU7 on Windows Server 2012 R2.

I am trying to install WSUS role on Windows Server 2012 R2 using dedicated SQL Instance with static port on remote SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU7 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
It verifies the connection and then throws the error:

The MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID with the currently configured password due to the following error:

User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user
right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated
with this node might be removing the right.
I found following article:
"MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" error when you install WID in Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

How to install Sticky Notes in Windows Server 2012 R2

I want to install Sticky Note in Windows Server 2012 R2. If this app is not available in Server 2012 then which is the
best "Sticky Note" application for this platform.
Thanks

Here are instructions for 2008 -
http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/sticky-notes/ I'm not sure about the legality of that, as I think Microsoft has some rules in their license about copying files from one distribution to another. You would need a lawyer to check on that.
Otherwise, a simple Bing search will turn up freeware apps you can download.

Unable to install SCCM client on Windows Server 2008 R2 - certificate permission error?

I am trying to comply with corporate policy, which is, have an SCCM agent or client on every Windows device. I have successfully used the provided SCCM installer on other Windows 2008 R2 servers. However for one particular server I cannot get the SCCM agent
to install successfully. I've searched forums and documentation, but can't find a solution. Part of the problem is the lack of feedback by SCCM on what is wrong. I think I have narrowed down the symptom to the following error messages from the "C:\Windows\CCM\Logs\ClientIDManagerStartup.log":
[LOG[Certificate [Thumbprint C559304C1598F17641D0732EB9EB787169A25FA7] issued to 'SMS' doesn't have private key or caller doesn't have access to private key.
[LOG[Failed in GetCertificate(...): 0x87d00281]LOG]!><time="10:56:59.014+300" date="04-17-2014" component="ClientIDManagerStartup" context="" type="3" thread="3024" file="ccmcert.cpp:2122">

When I use the Certificates MMC snap in to look at installed certs on this Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, there are plenty of normal and expected certificates there. There is also a branch called SMS with hundreds of entries, I have no idea what that is.
The above error seems to indicate a permissions issue. What do I do to fix this SCCM install? It seems like a server cert issue, not an SCCM issue, so I'm posting to the Windows Server forums.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks

this maybe helpful...

Unable to add network printers from Windows Server 2012 R2 to client running Windows 7 Pro x64

New Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard in the environment. Added print services to it and added five HP printers to it and shared them. Also deployed the printers via group policy.
Clients are running Windows 7 Pro x64. The group policy fails to install the printers (error 0x00000002). We get the same error when trying to manually add the printer from the client side.
From Event Viewer: Group Policy was unable to add per computer connection <<printer share>>. Error code 0x2. This can occur if the name of the printer connection is incorrect, or if the print spooler cannot contact the print server.
Any ideas on troubleshooting this?
Thanks.
-John

John,
You might try playing with the HP universal driver, that might help you. Try installing a new shared printer on the server using the universal print driver, then try and connect to it to see if it is any better.
Check these GPO settings to ensure local machines can install the drivers.
1. Configure the following two Group Policy settings:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Driver Installation\Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these devices setup classesEnabled
2. Device class GUID of printers: {4d36e979-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Printers/Point and Print RestrictionsEnabled
Security Prompts: When Installing Drivers for a new connection = Do not show warning or elevation prompt

Install sharepoint 2013 on Windows server 2012, Microsoft Identity Extensions issue !!!!!!!!!

Sharepoint 2013 comes with prerequisitesinstaller.exe to install the software required for the actual Sharepoint installation.
I 've installed Windows server 2012 in the R2 edition as well as Standard edition, but installing the prerequisites ends with an issue for the Microsoft Identity Extensions (MIE) on both versions (screenshot).
The 2012 R2 server has been updated with all latest files by executing Windows update.
In case of the Server 2012 R2, MIE is already installed , but somehow the Sharepoint installation is missing something.
I al;so tried removing default install to let prerequisiteinstaller.exe to install it's own version, but that did not help.
When I skip the prerequisites remaining items, the Sharepoint installation stops directly , requesting the missing items.
I've tried several Sharepoint server installation files, including the 180 days free version.
Screenshots will be uploaded after my account has been checked......

Hi Jay,
Installing SharePoint Server 2013 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 could lead to unexpected behavior, therefore, Microsoft does not support SharePoint Server 2013 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 and SharePoint Foundation 2013 with Service Pack 1 will offer support for Windows Server 2012 R2.
Refer to:
SharePoint 2013 Support for Windows Server 2012 R2
In addition, as Dave suggested, for the sharepoint server issue, please post in the dedicated forum for a better response.

Anna Wang

Installing Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2

Now that SP1 has been released, it is supported to run Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2
But since it is not yet possible to download Exchange 2013 with integrated SP1 (slipstreamed), is the following installation procedure supported:
- Install Exchange 2013 (without SP1) on Windows Server 2012 R2
- Install SP1 on top of Exchange 2013
If this is not supported, can someone tell me when the Exchange 2013 with integrated SP1 (slipstreamed) download will be released?

yes the SP1 is the full product. if you need step by step instruction to migrate to this new version you can get info here : http://buenoflex.com/install-exchange-2013-sp1/

Sharepoint 2013 - Error installing pre-requisite on Windows Server 2012 R2

I have been trying to get my Sharepoint 2013 installed on windows server 2012 R2. I was never able to get past the pre-requisite installer. It keeps failing at "Configuring Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role" and was never able to get
past that.
In the last 3 days i tried almost all of the suggestions posted in various forums but was never able to get it work. Any insight in to this error and resolution is greatly appreciated.
Tried all things explained here but didn't work
KrisS

I voted for the SharePoint 2013 isn't supported yet link. I spent 4 hours resolving the issue. In my installation, there were many claims by the installer that the application server role is corrupt or unavailable. I dove deep into the installer files and
found 1 file that was not in the correct place. I am not going to mention it, because it is the reason the installer should fail.
Downloading and installing sharepoint 2013 sp1 was the answer. Why? Because Windows Server 2012 R2 was my operating system. Windows Server 2012 R2 was not a supported type of installation for SharePoint 2013 until SharePoint 2013 SP1 was released.
I hope this helps those whom have ben in dire need. Even though Paul was initially correct in his statement, the release of SharePoint 2013 sp1 opens doors.
@Microsoft, as a former PFE I think you could have done better.

Install 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 on Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.
However, I get below warning when running setup.exe:
"your version of microsoft sql server (2008 and 2008 r2) isn't compatible with this version of windows"
How do I find what prerequisite I need?
Thanks

Hi,
Apologies for very late response. SQL Server 2008 R2 is x64 and Windows Server 2012 Datacenter is x64.
When I try to install SQL Server I get this...
I click 'Run the program without getting help' and all looks ok...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
As you can see all rule check is fine you can move ahead.I usually get this message during installation but installation never fails

Is it ok to install Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 Standard?

Hello everyone,
I'd like to know if it is ok/safe to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012 Standard?
As I started doing some research and noticed a page where Microsoft states they don't recommend running Exchange on Server 2012 Standard, and recommend making 2 different servers one for Active Directory and another for Exchange.
On that page they also listed some features that wouldn't work in case of Exchange is running on Server 2012. And that it may put a larger data load if setup this way.
I am hoping someone knowledgeable can explain and tell me if it is safe to use such setup or if it is better to use something like SBS 2011 Standard instead, which has Exchange included?
Has anyone installed Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 Standard successfully and used it for more then several months without problems?
Also just to give an idea on my background, I've been in IT field fairly long but haven't really updated to newer versions much and mainly used SBS 2003 and 2008 only with a few clients so haven't used 2008 too much.
Thanks in advance.

Few things to note.
There is
NO SBS in 2012
All you need is a Std edition of Windows for Exchange 2013, as there is no difference in features between Std and Datacenter as far as Exchange is concerned.
For 10 users, you can have one box with both AD and Exchange. It is not MS recommeded, but it IS supported.

Unable to login Windows Server 2012 after making local policy changes

Experts, we have modified the local policy setting on the windows server 2012 and badly it was domain controller now none of the users are able to login to the server. After entering the user name and password it will launch till welcome screen then it errors
out saying user name or password incorrect. below are the steps which we followed
1. Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options \Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos values change from Not Configured to DES_CBC_MD5
2. changed user attribute msDS-SupprtdEncryptionTypes to 2 , this account we were used for kerberos authentication.
3. Logged off from the server and then server doesn't allow any user to login.
regards,
Jakk

Have you tried connecting to the server from a 2nd DC? Have you tried installing the RSAT tools on a domain member server and modify the offending policy ?
last choice would be restart the DC into safe mode.
