Up gradation from server 2012 r2 foundation to server 2012 datacenter

I am trying to upgrade Windows 2012 Foundation to Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. As foundation allows only 15 user and i want unlimited users. I have not been able to find any instructions for accomplishing this.  Any pointers to this
info will be helpful.
Thanks,
Zeeshan

Hi Zeeshan,
As I know, upgrade of Windows Server 2012 Foundation is not supported. For more detials, please refer to the following article.
Introduction to Windows Server 2012 Foundation
If didn't want to be limited to a total of 15 users in Active Directory, you should consider other Windows Server edition (not Windows Server 2012 Foundation).
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

  • Slow applications start from win 2012 file server using win 7 workstations

    I hope someone can help me with why applications are slow to load i have replaced a 8 year old server running  win 2003 and replaced it with dell t620 running win 2012 r2 it is like 20 times faster but it is slower than the old server. the office has
    7 win 7 x64 machines all our applications are running from win 2012 file server. The server is set up as following the server runs with two hyper-v machines one machine runs ad, file server, dhcp, dns and printer server and the other is domino server and remote
    desktop. 
    the machine is more than capable but it is not so i started reading after i run out of ideas. i looked every where but the issue is with the server after trying everything else i did a simple test If i go to the application folder and click on it apps load
    instantly if i then type a unc path it takes from instant load to 3 and a bit seconds the same as the workstations. The same speed if I use ip address.
    network cards are intel
    i would really appreciate if somebody has suggestions that i could try
    thank you

    Hi,
    Do you mean that applications in the application folder start slowly when you access the application folder on the Windows 2012 R2 file server from Windows 7 workstations using UNC path or IP address. Do all the files in the application folder have the same
    issue? Please create a shared folder on the file server, then access the shared folder from Windows 7 workstations to check if the issue still exists.
    You could disable SMBv3 on server 2012 to check if the issue related to SMB protocol.

  • ¿Is it possible to upgrade from SCCM 2012 a domain controller in Windows Server 2008 R2 TO 2012 R2?

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Anything is possible if you can script it. You could create a task sequence to do the following (with scripts):
    1. Demote 2008R2 DC to member server
    2. Remove 2008R2 member server from domain
    3. Build new 2012R2 member server and join to domain
    4. Promote 2012R2 member server to DC
    You can do this. However, why would you? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In my opinion it's more trouble and testing than it's worth. How many times would you need to do this?

  • Hyper-V host server upgrade from Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre

    We are about to upgrade our Hyper-V host servers from Server 2008R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre to take advantage of the latest Hyper-V features.
    This only concerns the host servers and not the guest VMs running on the hosts (they will be upgraded next year).
    This is what is running on our host servers:
    Host 1
    File,print & issuing CA server
    Exchange 2010
    SharePoint 2010
    Quickbooks server
    Domain controller 1
    Offline CRL CA
    Host 2
    SQL 2008
    Forefront TMG 2010
    Domain Controller 2
    Windows 7 client
    With this is mind, I have drafted a rough action plan as follows:
    Create a list of all file locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
    Document all existing system settings
    Gather server information, download drivers, RAID controller and other boot drivers & firmware updates (in case the in-place upgrade fails)
    Test all software media
    Copy all VMs onto external data storage (NAS drive)
    As part of the upgrade process we will redistribute some hard drive space i.e.
    expand them to their new sizes and verify the data integrity of copied VMs by powering up each VM in a test environment
    Wipe and adjust the sizes of the host partitions to accommodate the expanded VMs
    Perform an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Check EV, services etc
    Change the default locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
    Upgrade Anti-virus and other system software
    Test the system
    Are there any glaring omissions? Does anyone have any tips they can give me?

    Hi Marco,
    always do a fresh Installation of your hyper-V Hosts, you could end up doing a lot of Troubleshooting with Drivers,Addons etc.. new Installation ist way faster.
    Depending if you have a Cluster or Standalone Servers there are different ways to do it.
    When you have installed your 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server you just can Import the VMs from the new Location.
    As far as i know VMs with snapshots are not supported, so you have to remove them before doing that move and commit the changes to the vhd files, the VM need to be offline on 2008R2 to do that.
    You do not Need to Export the VMs on 2008R2, just copy it, normaly you should have all Files of a VM in one Folder.
    A working Backup is always your friend on such Tasks.
    When the VMs are running on Hyper-V 2012R2 do not forget to Update the Integration Services.
    Make Sure your Servers Hardware are still supported with 2012R2, see Server Catalog and Support Matrix of the Vendor.
    And last one, where possible and supported convert the VHDs to VHDx Disks, after testing the first boot of the VM.

  • Migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new san hardware

    We are getting ready to migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on an iscsi san to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on a new iscsi san.
    I've been searching for a "best practices" article for this but have been coming up short.  The information I have found either pertains to migrating from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 with failover cluster volumes on the same hardware, or migrating
    to different hardware without failover cluster volumes.
    If there is anyone out there that has completed a similar migration, it would be great to hear any feedback you may have on your experiences.
    Currently, my approach is as follows:
    1. Configure new hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new SAN with new 2012 r2 hostnodes and 2012 r2 management server
    2. Turn off the virtual machines on old 2008 r2 hyper-v hostnodes
    3. Stop the VMMS service on the 2008 r2 hostnodes
    4. copy the virtual machine files and folders over to the new failover cluster volumes
    5. Import vm's into server 2012 r2 hyper-v.
    Any feedback on the opertain I have in mind would be helpful.
    Thank you,
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    Yes , I agree with that "file copy " can achieve migration.
    Also you can try "copy cluster wizard " :

  • PrintBrm.exe - Migrating printers from Server 2008 R2 to 2012 R2

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to migrate our printers from a Windows Server 2008 R2 to a brand new Windows Server 2012 R2. While doing this, we also want to switch the drivers to a newer version. As I successfully tried this a year before with the PrintBrm.exe (but from Server
    2008 R2 to another Server 2008 R2), I choosed this tool again.
    Unfortunately it fails at some point this time. The printer export and import succeeds every time, but if I'm trying to print a testpage on the new server, it won't stop printing hyroglyphs... Only if I install a printer manually (same driver), it works
    fine.
    Do you have any solutions or ideas for that? For better troubleshooting, I attached an image of one failed testpage and the code I've written, too. Looking forward for some ideas.
    Best regards, Andreas
    Export: PrintBrm.exe -B -S \\server -F C:\Tools\filename.printerExport -nobin

    Hi Andreas Remdt,
    Based on your description, did you mean that complete the process of migration successfully? Would you please
    let me know which version of the Printbrm.exe command-line tool that you used to migrate?
    In addition, please open Event Viewer and check if you can find any related event (Source: PrintBRM). If any
    update, please feel free to let me know.

  • Server 2012 X64 R2 DNS Server keeps shutting down after inplace upgrade from Server 2012 X64

    Hi,
    ever since upgrading from Server 2012 X64 to Server 2012 R2 X64 my dns server keeps shutting down every several minutes before having to do a restart.  When viewing the event log this is all I see..
    The DNS Server service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 497 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    if I look in the Application Error Log,  I will also find the following:

    I have tried removing and then reinstalling the DNS Server role, but the same situation occurs..
    thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm going crazy,  I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade.  I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
    a file instead of the registry.  As a test I:
    -1- killed all my dns data,
    -2- uninstalled the dns server role
    -3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
    -4- reinstalled the DNS server role
    -5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
    everything works okay, no crashes,  then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
    Please help,  this is killing me..
    thanks in advance..

    Would appreciate any suggestions that don't involve doing a detailed documentation capture of how the server is configured followed by a clean install, that is what I'm trying to avoid if possible.
    I am not trying to do anything special or scripted, just a standard OS upgrade.

    Hi Pepper, Malort, Robert and Brandon,
    I am experiencing the same issue using either new release (april 2014) or the gold release 2012 R2 DVD from Volume license (SA) download. Both confirmed working on other installations. Setup just suddenly quits with the same non existent logs
    files in $windows.~bt and c:\windows\setupact.log has a warning statement "Failed to change the UI language to en-US"
    The server is running as a vm and would otherwise appear to be running perfectly. It is a DC(GC), DHCP, DNS & CA for my site.
    Going to try System Update readiness Tool KB947821-v33.
    Heads up MSFP Anne, any word on the cause and/or fix?
    Regards,

    Need to know what is the role of this "Microsoft System center Virtual machine Manager DHCP server (x64)" on the server & why it get installed with scvmm agent.
    Thanks

    This is a good question, and I am happy to explain why you are seeing this agent.
    Windows Server 2012 introduced us for Network Virtualization using the GRE protocol (NVGRE). 
    In order to leverage NVGRE, you would have to manage your hosts entirely with powershell, if you didn't have VMM in place.
    When VMM is in place (and really should be in place, when using NVGRE), VMM act as the complete management layer, also for the NVGRE part. Since NVGRE basically is a
    policy driven technology, VMM need to keep track of every IP address used with NVGRE. During deployment of virtual machines connected to a VM Network with NVGRE (often referred to as Customer Addresses), VMM is able to configure static IP addresses
    on to these VMs, using the agent you are mentioning. This was introduced in VMM 2012 SP1, and is also present in the R2 Release. 
    So to summarize, it is a Hyper-V Switch Extension that is required on all Windows Server with Hyper-V to have DHCP to work correctly.

  • Move Distribution point from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2

    We have to upgrade one of sccm server 2008 R2 to server 2012 R2 on new box
    Server 2008 R2 is a Distribution Point
    I need to figure out right steps to move content and packages to new server and rather distributing all packages
    Need to figure out any specific steps for upgrading from Server 2008 to Server 2012 before turning off DP.
    We planing to use same Ip and server name and turn off and replace old server.
    I would appreciate any help..
    Thanks
    RJ
    RJ09

    As a side note here, I would *not* use the same name. This will be a *new* DP and thus should be treated as such. You'll simply be migrating the content and re-adding it (the DP) to the same boundary groups as the old DP. You'll then retire the old
    DP. The IP Address doesn't matter here.

  • How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

    How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
    Thanks in Advance
    NTRao

    Hi,
    There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
    You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim UIResManager
    Dim Cache
    Dim CacheSize
    CacheSize=20000
    Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
    Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
    Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
    Or you could use a configuration item.
    http://blog.coretech.dk/heh/configuration-items-and-baselines-using-scripts-powershell-example/
    You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

  • NW 6.5.8 CIFS access from Server 2012 R2 (domain auth)

    Need to access (without installing client) NW 6.5.8 server from Server 2012 R2.
    Up to Server 2008 R2 Domain authentication works perfectly fine, on 2012 R2 I managed to get it working a couple of times, never again. Reverting to eDir authentication with SMB Signature disabled works (can access shares fine)
    Is that known issue? (not that I would expect any fix for an obsolete OS)

  • Trouble connecting to RAS from Server 2012

    http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxi/en/en/RAS_SDK/rassdk_net_doc/doc/rassdk_net_doc/html/BindingScenarios16.htmlHello
    Hello All,
    I have been migrating a web application from Server 2003 to Server 2012.  The only part that does not seem to work correctly is the Crystal Reports.  I have Crystal Reports 10.  When I try to create a session and pull down a report, the web application crashes and does not give me an error.  I have tried stepping through the debugger and looking at the event logs and I am not gleaning any useful information.  Oddly enough when I pull a report from our RAS and put it on the new web server and make a web form that loads it from locally (embedded) it works, but point it to RAS and it crashes every time.  The code that pulled from RAS worked just fine on our 2003 server.  The original developer appears to have used the code at above link to load reports from RAS.
    Is connecting to RAS supported in Crystal 10, IIS 8, and Sever 2012?
    Is there a special permission that needs to be set up on the RAS server or in the Server 2012 web server?
    Is there any reason I should change the code or anything else I need to install on the Server 2012 web server beyond installing Crystal 10?
    Any tips for fixing or troubleshooting this?  I am getting close to scrapping the RAS server though I really don't want to do that.

    Hi Robert,
    Crystal Reports 10 and it's SDK packaging is NOT supported on Windows 2012. OS is new, CR 10 is about 5 years old and had no concept of that OS.
    The link is simply to the SDK help file so not clear on what BOE Server you are using either.
    There are upgrade paths to follow but need more info...
    Also, I moved your post to the .NET Forums.

  • Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path

    Hi everybody,
    I'm currently upgrading our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 after have finished with the upgrade from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 CU4, thus far everything works fine, but when I try to update any
    of the site servers, whether CAS or Primary, I'm getting the following error message in the Prerequisites Check:
    I've gone through the system requirements and prerequisites over and over again and I can assure you that every possible update, supported OS, feature set, SQL Server, check list, etc,
    etc, have been followed as per the official documentation available, however I'm stuck in this point, and surely enough I haven't been able to find out a similar case.Additionally I'm adding
    the ConfigMgrPrereq log (the relevant portion of it) in case someone could kindly take a look at it.

    I confirm that this one site is a secondary one that's attached to a primary site and this log is from the CAS server, I managed to tall it and delete it from that site, but still appears listed
    on the CAS management console, any idea how to force the removal of a secondary site that's attached to a primary from the CAS site when it has been removed already from said primary?
    I've already tried the
    Preinst /DELSITE XXX  command but it only works when the site to remove it's attached to the local site and certainly not from a CAS
    Finally,  the version, build number and everything is correct, no idea what could be the problem, does anybody know a way to bypass this or force the re-evaluation of this rules, I've got
    the impression that it's being cached somehow.
    Any help would be highly appreciated,
    Thank you.

    Hello again everybody,
    I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
    primary sites.
    If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
    DELETE
    FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'
    DELETE
    FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='XXX'
    And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
    Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,
    Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSE
