Upgrade Virtual machine running server 2008 r2 to server 2012 r2.......

Hi Everyone.........
I have virtual Server machine Current Running Server 2008 r2 data-center, and try to upgrade server 2012 r2 data-center but unfortunately not Upgrade and Showing Errors like below....
how to upgrade virtual server machine in server 2012 r2, Please help me for this Issue .

I recommend doing a fresh install of Server 2012 R2 on the bare metal, enable the Hyper-V role and migrate the VMs over using these steps:
Shutdown the VMs on the current 2008 or 2008 R2 Hyper-V host(s)
In Hyper-V Manager, delete all snapshots and saved states of all VMs.
Set all the VM vNICs to use static MAC
Export each VM 
On the new 2012 R2 Hyper-V server, import the VMs

  • Virtual machine of Lion OSx 10.7 server on my MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7?

    I'd like to create a better disaster recovery plan.  My thought was to create a virtual machine of Lion OSx 10.7 server on my MacBook Pro running 10.7.  Is that even possible?

    Disasters for you primary tends to take down the disk.  That would kill your VM 10.7 Server fail-over.
    Yes, you can VM "server", but I advise using CarbonCopyClone to keep a copy of the main disk but on an external drive, two separate external drives if you can afford it.  CCC will clone the Recovery Partition, and the odds of all three drives failing at the same time are very low.  Just keep the clones current by backing up at least once a week, if not once a day.  You can rotate one of the clones to a freind's house for better protection.

    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.

    By "Novell 6" do you perhaps mean NetWare 6 (Novell is the company not
    the product)? Does "6" imply 6.0 or 6.5? The latter is more suited to
    being virtualised.

  • Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

    I have a 3 node cluster that has replica setup to replicate to another cluster off-site.
    Suddenly one of the servers is not replicating with the error:
    Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE). (Virtual Machine ID CC0FD4CC-F9B7-4C68-ABE8-B7D52A87899F)
    All other servers are replicating fine so there cannot be a permissions or connectivity issue between the 2 clusters.
    This server has 2TB of data so I'd rather not have to start the replication again.
    Does anyone have any pointers?
    Thanks.

    Based on my knowledge , "hyper-v replica broker " is needed for failover cluster replica .

  • Printing issues when printing to Server 2008 R2 Print Server

    We have a problem with netwok printing that encompasses many different areas and versions of Windows OSes so I will be posting this in a few different places.
    Let me lay this out for you. We have a single Server 2008 R2 print server with 300 printers of various models. This print server has both 32 and 64-bit drivers installed for every printer. For the HP printers we are using the HP Universal Printing PCL 6
    (version 61.94.3.37) and for the Ricoh printers we are using their PCL6 driver for universal printing version 3.5. All drivers run in Isolation mode and no printer gets published to AD.
    We have a mix of Windows clients printing to these printers, both XP Pro and Windows 7 32 and 64-bit.
    Now for the problems: The other day one Isolation host on the server went crazy, processing was hitting 100% and memory was fluctuating and growing a lot. After investigating a little that isolation host was having issues accessing the Ricoh Driver (which
    was 3.4 at the time). In an attempt to resolve the issue we updated the driver to V. 3.5. This seemed to fix the isolation issues and things calmed down however this is the beginning of many other issues for the clients. Both Windows OS versions (XP and 7)
    don't seem to be either downloading and installing the updated driver and/or doing so correctly. Clients are now experiencing extremely slow printing, applications such as Word, Outlook, Excel and others open slowly and it can take 2-3 minutes for print dialog
    boxes to open. In all cases it seems that we have to have a tech delete the printer(s), delete the driver and then re-install the printer to make things better but for some reason, which is really unknown, this process doesn't work for every machine and on
    some we can't even remove the old drivers at all without booting into SafeMode and doing it that way.
    With all of that said, are there any suggestions as to why the clients aren't downloading and installing the drivers from the server correctly? How to avoid these issues when we need to upgrade the drivers on the server in the future? Most importantly right
    now, are there any recommendations or scripts on how to force the deletions of the printer, driver, reset the print spoolers and then re-add the printers in a more automated fashion?
    I have played with both wmic, pnputil and printuidll and am trying to put something together but without a set solution that will work consistently it becomes a lot more difficult.

    We are experiencing a very similar issue.
    Windows Server 2008 R2. Printers are deployed over group policy.
    Clients range from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp environment also connects to these endpoints.
    We have A wide assortment of HP printers, and Ricoh Printers.
    For the ricoh's we have been historically using the PCL6 drivers for the individual device type (not universal print). Up till recently, it all was working fine, until about some time in the middle of june, when everything just seemed to go crazy.
    The issue was resolved by moving off from the PCL 6 drivers and using the PCL5e driver counterparts on all of our ricoh printers.
    It would crash XenDesktop applications, it would crash office applications.
    The print spooler would lock up, even if the ricoh printers were not actually used, just as long as they were loaded.
    Even after loading PCL5 on the servers, some of the clients would simply not download the PCL5 version of the driver from the print server. In order to resolve this, I have created the steps below. Be advised, this may possibly cause damage on your system.
    We just found it worked great for us. Local printers will likely have to be manually reinstalled after this.
    Directions
    Stop the print spooler
    Open C:\Windows\System32\Spool and delete the following
    All files in SERVERS
    All files in PRINTERS
    All files in drivers
    All files in prtprocs
    Start the print spooler
    Open a command prompt as administrator, and run the following command
    Cscript C:\windows\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prndrvr.vbs -x
    This should further delete all print drivers.
    Open a command prompt as a standard user (not administrator) and run the following
    Gpupdate
    Now wait. It takes a while, but the printers will slowly start to repopulate.
    I am still not sure what is going on with the PCL6 drivers for ricoh, and why this issue is happening. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Ricoh auto update that is included in their pcl6 drivers. Maybe some sort of auto update happened recently.

    Hi ,
    anybody know  How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?
    I want to create lab but i couldn't  I follow this article but the new VM is off

    thanks

    Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
    However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
    The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.

  • Explorer folder update issues Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server

    Hi Folks, 
    We are having a few issues here. We have a cluster of 5 Server 2008 X64 R2 SP1 Terminal Servers running Citrix Xenapp 6. Our file server is a Server 2008 R2 SP1 server also. All servers are virtualised on ESX vSphere 4.0 and are connected to an EMC
    FC SAN.
    The users have an application which references a mapped drive (K in this example). This mapped drive is populated with contents from a network scanner. The file extensions change from PDF, JPEG, JPG and GIF. The files are stored on the 2K8 X64 R2 file server. 
    This all works fine, however the users are getting intermittent 'refresh' problems if you will. Sometimes after the user scans to the folder they will not see the item which was scanned however another user on the _same_ server will be able to see the item
    that has just been scanned to file. If I login to the server via remote desktop I can also see the files also. It can take from 2minutes to 30minutes before the users explorer will actually refresh and be able to see the files. During this time if the user
    creates a folder in the my documents which is also redirected/hosted on the 2K8 R2 file server they see the changes immediately. If the user logs in and logs out of the Terminal Server the file which was scanned is immediately available to the user.
    **NOTE** this problem does not occur every time
    Below is a list of the things that I have tried
    Changing the Icon size and layout under explorer
    Changing the layout from thumbnails to list etc
    Disabled SMB 2.0
    Completed SMB tuning for Xenapp and Explorer on the limit of concurrent connections etc
    Disabled Windows Search
    Disabled Indexing
    Changed the folder to be both offline and online
    Index offline and online folders
    Disabled "Client for Microsoft Networks" on the network card
    Disabled IPV6 on both Terminal Servers and File server
    Ran filemon in compatibility mode on the file server (I can see the file being created)
    I have changed the scanning location on the 2K8 R2 file server to no avail
    I have checked the file share and it is indeed set to Maximum allow concurrent connections
    Checked Perfmon and the disk queue is running about 0.4 
    I'm now at a loss.. any advise would be great! thanks folks.

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen on a Windows client? Like the Windows 7 and Windows XP.
    Meanwhile, I would give you the following suggestions for your reference:
    1.      
    By default, Windows Explorer generates a lot of SMB traffic - which can result in poor file server performance in some circumstances. 
    However, some of this traffic is superfluous and can be reduced - for example:
    •Searches for Desktop.ini files used for folder customization
    •Periodic refreshes of folder contents
    •Searches for supporting library (.dll) files
    •Individual file details and attributes pulled for each file
    •Thumbnail extraction
    There are some registry changes you can implement to optimize the SMB traffic being generated. 
    Import the settings below on client machines. 
    Terminal Servers running in Application Mode should be considered client machines in this scenario.
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]

    2.      
    Please try to temporarily disable all firewall and anti-virus software to check whether this issue can be fixed.
    3.      
    Please check if the problematic user is still on one switch. If so, I would guess there is an issue on switch.
    In this case, you’re using Citrix when this issue happens. I suggest you contact Citrix engineer to particularly ask whether they saw the
    similar issue running on Citrix and how to fix it.
    Thanks.
