Upgrade to Server 2012 Standard (user limit fix) - Not Supported?
Which WD Sentinel do you have? The process is only supported and applies to the WD Sentinel DS5100 and DS6100 since they have different hardware than the DX and RX series.
There aren't any huge differences in the operating system when going from Server 2012 R2 Essentials to Server 2012 R2 Standard. The biggest peice is that users need to purchase the correct licencing before making the swap. Western Digital appears to have created a video to assist users with the transitions from the stock operating system to Server 2012 Standard. (Upgrade DS6100 to Server 2012 Standard) The upgrade process itself based on the video and mention of the upgrade in the administrator's/owners manual gives the appearance that such an upgrade is endorsed/supported by WD. Appearances, however, can be deceiving. Midway through the process I ran into a problem (Raid Config Problem) and attempted to contact customer support over the phone. After being elevated up to a second level of support I was told over the phone that because I had made changes to my unit that it was no longer in its original confiuration, I had voided my warranty, and I am on my own until I restore the unit to its original configuration. I mentioned to the tech that I don't think I did anything outside the bounds of what I should be doing based on the video (link above) and the following exerpt from the administrator's manual: "Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials supports up to 25 users and 50 devices. When your business needs exceed the limit, you can purchase an additional license and upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard." The response I received was fairly surprising to say the least. I was directed to page 80 GPU/GPL section: "Modification of or tampering with the Software, including but not limited to any Open Source Software, is solely at your own risk. Western Digital is not responsible for any such modification or tampering. Western Digital will not support any product in which you have or have attempted to modify the Software supplied by Western Digital." In my specific case, I knew what the issue was and more specifically, I knew exactly what I needed to resolve the issue (the installation binaries for the Raid Configuration Utility). The tech on the phone said that since I had modified the OS, that I needed to reach out to Microsoft for assistance (which makes no sense since the software in question is Western Digital's) and refused to provide me with any information on how I might obtain the installation software. Ultimately I resolved the issue on my own by pure happenstance. I encourage anyone even thinking about buying one of these units for a medium to large business to be very leery and way your options carefully. I'd be happy to provide my case # to anyone at WD who would like to contact me and/or look at the particulars of my problem.

Upgrade to server 2012 standard
Hello
I am currently running Server 2012 Essentials and want to upgrade to Server 2012 Standard.
I have downloaded the 2012 Standard trial ISO and would like to know where to from here? I have done a bit of reading about upgrading essentials 2012 whereby I understand one can do it from PS using a command. What I am not clear about is how I can get server
2012 std onto the server to upgrade? Or is the PS command taking care of that in that it installs 2012 std onto the server?
I had a look at this
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/8f966fcc-2afb-48f7-919b-6c61b71d7947/windows-server-2012-essentials-upgrade-to-windows-server-2012-standard?forum=winserveressentials
and the last post is exactly what I too need to know.
Can someone please advise what steps I need to take to get server 2012 std running?
TIAHi,
Here is the detailed steps to transit from Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 Standard, you could refer to it to perform the transition. Hope it helps.

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.. -
Windows server 2012 Standard Edition Licensing
We have SPLA aggrement with MS.
I know, can use two physical processors with Windows server 2012 Standard Edition.
If i am planning to install Windows server 2012 Standard Edition in a virtual environment, lets say it has four cores, then how many licenses we need to buy for this ? Is it like each core has been considered as an separate processor in virtual environment
for Windows server 2012 Standard Edition licensing ?

Windows Server 2012 Standard and Essentials User CAL's
I've been running Windows Server 2012 Essentials in an organization that until recently stayed within the 25 user 50 network device limit specified by the license. Eventually we've grown beyond that. Since the Server 2012 Essentials machine had a non-transferable
OEM license I decided not to waste it by doing an in-place migration to Server 2012 Standard, and instead set up a new server with freshly purchased Server 2012 R2 Standard and migrated Active Domain roles to it, leaving the original server as a part of a
fail-over cluster.
We purchased 30 User CAL's for the 2012 R2, as required for 25+ staff members.
Now I am curious. The 2 servers that we have right now (2012 R2 Standard and 2012 Essentials) both maintain the same Active Directory and manage the same pool of users and workstations. Does that mean that the primary server with 30 User CAL's takes dominance
and sets the limit as to how many people are allowed to access the network. Or does it become a combination of purchased 30 CAL's + 25 Users hard-wired into the 2012 Essential edition?
Do these servers have to run separate domains with segregated pools of users in order to be license compliant for 30+ users or can they exist within the same same domain preserving individual user limits? What if the 2012 Essentials server maintains
one office location with fewer than 25 staff and the Standard R2 2012 server runs another office with fewer than 30 staff, while both offices are linked via a VPN for the purpose of sharing 3rd party licenses? Do individual user limits apply, or is it still
30 users max?
To sum up the question, I'd like to know whether I'd need to buy more user CAL's when we reach more than 30 staff at 1 or possibly 2 office locations.
Oh, and the device limit! 2012 R2 Standard under user CAL licensing scheme has no machine limits. Essentials is always capped at 50. When running one active directory, what's the legally allowed number of devices on the network? I assume it's unlimited.
Thanks.Thank you for the reply.
My question then is how to transition while preferably keeping both physical servers.
Should a 2012 Standard key be purchased additionally for an in-place transition of 2012 Essentials machine to 2012 Standard (which at this point is as good as a fresh install)? Until then, should the Essentials 2012 server be taken offline entirely?
What about the situation where I described both servers running segregated networks with their own pools of users, only connected via a VPN for 3rd party license sharing? Is that configuration supported?
Also, if the configurations is unsupported, why are the servers able to share roles in first place? Why isn't there a software mechanism preventing interaction? What configuration do the servers themselves assume is in place?
Thanks again. -
Upgrade Server 2008 Enterprise Domain Controller to Server 2012 Standard?
Hey there,
We are going to be attempting to upgrade several of our Windows Server 2008 Domain Controllers in our satellite offices from Windows Server 2008 Enterprise to Server 2012 Standard. I know the inplace upgrade will work (tried it on a member server)
but are there any caveats being that they are Domain Controllers? Contacted Microsoft and they said we shouldn't have any issues upgrading, and there is nothing special that has to be done in preparation. (I thought for sure we would have to DCPromo
down before and dcpromo up after the upgrade, but not so much, according to MS) But I figured I would check and see if anyone has done this successfully. I should mention that we already have 2, Windows Server 2012 Domain Controllers in our environment,
and one of them has the FSMO roles. Thanks in advance!It should work with no problems. My favorite options remains always to demote the DC, re-install it completely and then promoting it again: This is just my own way to work as it makes me sure that I start with a clean base with the fresh install.

Assign 2 of Windows Server 2012 Standard edition licensing question
I'm new at this and I have bought Windows 2012 Standard with 5 CALs back in January from Microsoft store on the Internet using as the host. There is Windows 2008 R2 installed as the virtual machine on the host. Few hours ago I have decided to buy another
license with 5 CALs to upgrade those even that I did need two license of Windows 2012 Standard anyway to support 4 physical processor as my server have quad core processor.
The question here that I need to ask is how do I assign 2 license of Windows Server 2012 Standard edition on the host to lift the limit and that up to 4 VMs will be allowed or does it automatically do that after upgrading to Windows 2012 Standard in
the virtual machine even that 5 CALs plus 5 CALs equal 10 CALs are done automatically?Hello,
You have 2 questions here:
1. How can I stack multiple OS licence in order to have more virtualization rights (more VMs) running on that host?
2. How can I stack Windows CAL licence from OEM.
Answers are:
1. You only have to licence the original licence on the physical host. You can use the same license key for all 4 VMs or use 2 VM key from the first package and 2 VM keys from the second licence package you just bought.
There is nowhere to register those licence, except one by one inside the VM themselves.
You have to keep all licence document in case of control by Microsoft.
2. Windows CAL allows a user (or a computer) to connect to an unlimited number of Windows Server within your company network. You have 10 CAL so you can have up to 10 users or computers in your company that will connect to your servers (even if you have 1.000
servers)
There is nowhere to register those licence, except one by one inside the VM themselves.
You have to keep all licence document in case of control by Microsoft.
Regards
PS: The only licence that require maintenance and central registration are Remote Desktop Licences.
MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010 MCTS: Lync Server 2010, Configuring MCSE
That is what I thought as I was told before even seen licensing details except a direction of how to attach the second license and I had to make sure. Thank you -
This is what I have:
A very outdated machine running a small domain, SBS 2003 and Exchange - this is the ONLY server currently.
This is what my boss ordered:
A Dell R210 II machine with Server 2012 Standard (and I downloaded the trial for Exchange 2013).
He wants the old server completely replaced and gone - with everything moved over (including Exchange) to the new machine. The main reason for the upgrade is that not all users can access email on their machines (Macs, new versions of Outlook, etc.)
I have set up a new standalone server before but never migrated one - and I've found that going from SBS2003/Exchange2003 to Server2012/Exchange2013 is not simple in the least.
I thought I could just set up the new server as a DC on the domain and have everything replicated to it from the source server. Then I could decommission the old server. I have been told that 1) I can't upgrade Exchange 2003 to 2013 and 2) that I shouldn't
put Exchange on a DC. What do you do if you only have the one server?Hi,
Just additional. Please also refer to following threads and article, then check if can help you.

Restore backups from Server 2012 Standard to 2012 Essentials or Foundations
The owner of our small office (about 25 employees) wants to have an off-site "emergency server" to be used if the primary office becomes completely unavailable due to fire or other emergency. In the past we did this with a 2003 Small Business server
in the office and a basic PC stored off site both running Veritas Backup Exec 10 and backing up files to a removable hard drive that could be restored to the spare 'server'.
Now that we are upgrading the main office server to Server 2012 Standard, the Backup Exec 10 will no longer work and I'm not interested in paying several thousand dollars for licenses for the newest version of Backup Exec for the new server and the 'spare'
machine.
So my question is, if I use the built in backup system in the 2012 Standard server, would a spare machine running 2012 Essentials or 2012 Foundations be able to access those backups? Getting the basic OS on the spare server instead of the full 2012 Standard
would lower the cost significantly and make it easier to fit into the available budget. When used in an emergency, there would probably be at most 5 people accessing the spare server so user licenses won't be an issue, I just need to make sure the backup idea
is feasible.Hi Michael,
à
if I use the built in backup system in the 2012 Standard server, would a spare machine running 2012 Essentials or 2012 Foundations be able to access those backups?
Based on your description, I test something in my Lab environment. I create a shared folder, then backup (not Full server backup)
to the shared folder via Windows Server Backup on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials. Then logon a Windows Server 2012 Standard and access the shared folder. Then navigate to the backup file (.vhdx file), right click it and select
Mount. Please assign a drive letter to it in Disk Management. Then you will be able to see all files and folders which were backed up in this backup file (VHDX file).
In addition, when run Recovery Wizard via Windows Server Backup, you also can use an option ‘A backup stored on another location’
to select the backup file which was stored in the shared folder for the recovery.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Upgrade Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 in-place upgrade
I have tried to do an in place upgrade for Windows Server 2012 Standard to Windows Server 2012 R2 using the in-place upgrade at least a dozen times. Always with the same unhelpful failure message.
I have tried downloading the latest (setup) update and not downloading it - makes no difference - same error.
I would really rather upgrade this server than re-install. I have scoured the internet looking for answers and I can't find anything useful.
I have downloaded the latest 2012 R2 Standard iso. The version of 2012 installed is a stock retail Standard version it was never an eval version.
Any help much appreciated.

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 Standard: Error code 0x851A0019
Hi All,
I am trying to install sql server 2012 standard edition on windows server 2008R2 but at the end of the installation it is giving me the following error message:

And in the log file I got the following error message:

Reason for failure: An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
Next Step: Use the following information to resolve the error, uninstall this feature, and then run the setup process again.

MKNayeemHi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already followed that article. I have changed the user to local account user, but it did not work.
Like you said the sql server is installed, but it is not starting the services. Following is the error log file message:

SharePoint 2013 OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 vs Windows Server 2012 Standard
Hi Team,
We are thinking on upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SP 2013 soon. I have been researching about the server OS I should install as host, and it seems that SharePoint 2013 is fully compatible by now with both Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard + SP1 and
Windows Server 2012 Standard. In my opinion we should go with server 2012, but Windows server 2008 is the norm here at our organization and our Infrastructure team seems reluctant to upgrade servers to 2012 yet.
My question is, what SharePoint or Windows 2012 features will we miss if we decide to stay on Windows 2008? What are the perks (selling points) of going with 2012 over 2008? (besides the obvious Microsoft support range extension).
Thanks!
-Rob.If you stay on Windows Server 2008 R2 you will enter the extended/out of support phase sooner, of course. You will miss out on IIS improvements, although in practical terms it may not mean much.
There are extra patches required for a 2008 R2 deployment that are not needed on 2012 for SharePoint 2013. But other than that, I think the other big issue is that mostly in the community, you'll find people running Server 2012 which means issues are better
'known' by the community, versus 2008 R2 in combination with SharePoint 2013.

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.
