I am suggesting you to fresh install OS and SCVMM 2012 R2 in different server. Once you install and configured SCVMM 2012 R2 then disconnect One by one Hyper-V servers from SCVMM2008
and add in SCVMM2012 R2.
For testing purpose disconnect non critical Hyper-V server and added to SCVMM 2012 R2.

Upgrade of scvmm 2012 sp1 to scvmm 2012 r2 fails with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied"

I had a working scvmm 2012 sp1 installation, and am attempting to upgrade to 2012 r2.
The old SCVMM product was removed (retaining the database), as well as ADK 8.0. I then installed ADK 8.1.
The install fails after a number of minutes with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied". From my reading of the log, that was the only obvious failure, and that the VMM server MSI installed successfully.
It doesn't appear to get so far as to upgrade the database.
The OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, with all updates applied. I have tried the install many times, noticed that the McAfee virus scanner was pushed to the box at some point, so I removed it, but still no dice.

Problems after upgrade from SCVMM 2012 Sp1 to SCVMM 2012 R2

I did a in-place (uninstall VMM2012 Sp1, retain the database, and install VMM2012 R2 point to old database) upgrade. All the steps work fine.
The only problem (so far) is that when I create a new VM using a custom template (for example, Windows 2008 R2), the deploy fail with the following error:
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the vm-scvmm2012.domain.com server: NO_PARAM: NO_PARAM.

Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server vm-scvmm2012.domain.com. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If vm-scvmm2012.domain.com is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure
that VMM agent is installed and running. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.

Any ideas?

I have a similar problem when migrating VMs from Windows 2008 R2 (Non Clustered) Hyper-V to Windows 2012 Hyper Cluster. I had previously migrated about 100 VMs like this with no problem. It appears since upgrading from VMM SP1 Rollup 4 to Rollup 5 this problem
is happening. All Agents are up to date.
I can migrate VMs in the cluster no problem.
I removed the Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V host and added it back which allowed the job to at least start but when it gets to the final steps of importing the VM it fails with the same error and references the VMM server.
Others suggest this is a VMM Certificate problem and you can remove the Cluster node and add it back again but I can't do that in a production Cluster with hundreds of VMs. That is not an acceptable solution.
How can we fix this?

I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending.
After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though.

SharePoint 2013 Server OS upgrade from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2

Is it possible to have SharePoint 2013 farm to have mixed version of OS (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2).
We have a request to upgrade our farm servers from WIN 2008 R2 to Win 2012 R2. We have 5 servers in farm -
2 App servers - running with Central Admin, Service Applications, User Profile
3 Web Front End Servers- running web application, search and workflow manager
the database layer is separate on sql 2012 R2
We want to upgrade OS from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2 and SQL to SQL 2014.
What will be right approach to do OS upgrade in above scenario to minimize the impact of downtime.
May be add windows 2012 based servers in farm one by one and replace the windows 2008 R2 based servers from server.
Regards,
Kunal Abrol

Its possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. The problem is that you can only install SharePoint 20103 on Windows Server 2012 r2 using the slipstreamed SP1 version. I assume that you used the regular version to install on you Server 2008 r2 versions.
Even if you upgrade those servers to SP1 there are some minor differences in the builds between slipstreamed SP1 and upgraded SP1. So although it will work it isn't recommended.
Also, you should be aware the upgrade of inplace SharePoint servers running Windows 2008 r2 to Windows 2012 r2 is not supported.
To upgrade to server 2012 you'll need to add 2012 servers to your environment using the slipstreamed version os SharePoint and then remove the old server 2008 r2 servers as soon as possible. For the period of the upgrade you should be able to get away
with running the farm in a mixed state.

Upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 and Quorum

Dear Sir.
I am going to upgrade hyper-v cluster of 4 nodes 2008 r2 to windows 2012 hyper-v cluster.
i am going to evict tow node and build new cluster.
should I configure new quorum for new cluster or can i use the the quorum from old system ?
thanks

Hi,
Base on my experience, you need create a new cluster when you choose migrate the cluster, so you need the new witness disk.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.

No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.

In-place upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012

Hi all,
we are currently running SAP ERP EHP7 (Netweaver 7.40 ) on Windows 2008 R2 server, MS SQL 2012 database.
Is it possible to do in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2012?
We want to do upgrade without buying new hardware and perform system copy.
Regards

Hi,
the only note where we discussed our findings about in-place upgrades of the Windows operating system is SAP Note 1494740.
Even though the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 is not discussed explicitly, the note is also valid for Windows Server 2012.
The only thing you have to take care is: upgrade your system components (database, other 3rd party software) to versions supported on Windows Server 2012 before you are performing the in-place upgrade.
Regards
Peter

Upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012

Hi all.
I have 4 node hyper-v cluster servers win 2008 R2 data center connected to iSCSI storage . I went to upgrade it to win 2012 data center can i work on this scenario:
1- evict one node from the fail-over cluster.
2- install clean win 2012 data center.
3- add it to the cluster a gain.
4- move VMs to new win 2012 server.
5- evict another node and so on.
Is there any thing wrong in this scenario ?

Hi,
No, you can't have nodes with a different OS in the cluster.
1- evict one node from the fail-over cluster.
2- install clean win 2012 data center.
3- form a new cluster, test it.
4- move some VMs to new win 2012 cluster
5- evict another node and so on.
You'll need to evaluate your resources (ability to give a storage to the new cluster).

Upgrade from SSRS 2008 to visual studio 2012/2013

Hello,
Is it possible to upgrade Visual Studio BIDS file/project types from 2008R2 to 2012/2013:
SSRS *.sln
SSIS * .dtsx
*.dbproj
If it is possible, can the resulting (upgraded) 2012/2013 file/projects be back-ended in 2008R2 SQL Server database engine?
Or is it necessary to have the version of the back-end SQL Server database engine match the version of the VS BIDS projects?
thanks,

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio Integration Services, Report Services and Analysis Services projects for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
To work around this issue, you can install Visual Studio 2008 alongside Visual Studio 2010 on the same machine and then open the Business Intelligence Development Studio projects in Visual Studio 2008.
(we have to follow side-by-side installation of SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008. since you may have
some issues with BIDS.)

Upgraded from server 2008 r2 to server 2012 r2 standard and nothing is working

I'm actually working on putting together a server using Server 2012 r2 as well, but we tested everything on it prior to launch and are now in the migration phase with only one application not cooperating: Exchange 2010...If you have another functional server running to keep DirSynch going with, would definitely suggest either upgrading something or downgrading another to allow for compatibility issues.We're going to keep using Exchange 2010 on the server it's installed on until we can upgrade it to 2013, otherwise if we moved it while everything else is moving, we will lose email altogether and end up with a lot of angry users...Certainly a lot of compatibility issues regarding server OSes I'm finding in my 1.5 years working here so far... I'm quickly learning the importance of researching these kinds of issues, So hey, welcome to...

Hi Everyone
I am desperate, I have upgraded a server to 2012 and it appears to stop DirSync from running. I can't uninstall the program because it doesn't launch the uninstall program from the control panel. I get an error message

Can you upgrade the hardware in a MacBook Air 2012

Hi, my name is Mark Bourke. I was given a present of a MacBook air 13" maxed out (everything upgraded to the max). It was bought for me because I liked the look of it and I had been keeping an eye on it for a while. Prior and during this I was gaming on my Xbox until I got fed up of paying the fees and started to game on my mac. I started gaming on OS 10 and then bootcamped over to Windows 7 because of the lack of games and poor support for gamepads. It was then that I realised I needed more processing power and VRAM. I looked into an eGPU and had my mind set but then I thought I would ask you if I could change the internal GPU. Then with the release of the new MacBook air's and the 4th gen Intel haswell CPU's I wondered if I would change the CPU too. Could you tell me if this is in any way possible or if I am just wasting my time. Thanks

Since the device is not user upgradeable, you will have to scoure the internet for the specifics of the logicboard, chipsets used and so on to figure out compatability and what would or would not work. That is not general knowledge information, so you'll have to search and find it all yourself. I'd also wager you'll end up spending as much or even more moeny than a new machine would be.
Honestly, to me, it would not be even remotely worth the effort. Sell the current MBA and buy what you really want or need. If PC gaming is really your big thing, I would honestly suggest getting a Windows native PC and not an Apple product in the first place (you'll get better gaming experience for less money).

Steps to upgrade from sql 2008 r2 se (nonclustered) to sql 2012 se (clustered)

hello,
I am currently running a non clustered instance of a sqlserver 2008 R2 SE and need to upgrade to a clustered instance of SQLServer 2012 SE. The underlying OS is Windows 2008 R2 SE. I already bought the second server with the same os online but havent installed
sql 2012 yet.
I am thinking of backing up my databases and script out all the logins and linked servers first.
Then upgrade the SQLServer 2008 R2 SE to 2012 SE. But can I upgrade it to a clustered instance directly? If yes then I can definitely add the other server to the cluster while installing sql.
Can someone point me to the right steps for this upgrade process
Thanks

Hello,
Direct upgrade to cluster is not possible without installing SQL server in cluster aware mode. I would recommend you need to uninstall SQL server 2008 R2 and then create windows cluster between two nodes and then install SQL server in cluster aware
mode.
You are right with taking up complete backup of all databases with logins and jobs.

Migrating SQL 2008 DB to SQL 2012 for SharePoint Farm

Our SharePoint 2013 Farm runs on ISCSI Disk on Windows 20008 R2 Standard SP1 Platform with SQL 2008 R2 Standard SP2.
Now we are planning to move this ISCSI Disk to another SQL 2012 Standard Platform and then upgrade the SQL 2008 Databse to SQL 2012. Can some one please let me know what challenges we might face during this implementation.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512723(v=office.14).aspx
It depends if you want to move all, or just some, of your databases to the new server. If you need to move all of them that link describes the process but in short;
Backup and restore all databases to the new server
Configure the server roles and logins for the SharePoint accounts on SQL
Create (or modify) your SQL alias to point to the new server

How to get the details of a LUN (Storage Logical Units) presented to an ESX host thru SCVMM 2012

Hi,
We are working with a UI Add-in for SCVMM 2012 where we should support both Hyper-v and ESX hosts. When added the ESX host and presented few LUNs (out of band operation) from the HP 3PAR array,
we are unable to view the Storage details like Storage Logical unit, Storage Pool and Storage Array when we select the same LUN in the Classification and Pools section of SCVMM.
We tried even with the PowerShell, but couldn’t help. Can you please guide us, how we can get the storage details of a LUN presented to the ESX host which is added in the SCVMM 2012.
Thanking you.

Hi Jiannan,
No worries, you can go to UDDI client from the main page of PI i.e. http://<serverName>:<serverPort>/
And you use the search function for the TModel for your Physical System. Search parameters can use the % wildcard.
Hit the search and you find the UDDI Key for the Physical System.
Cheers.
