Virtual Machine( VM WARE) using Windows Server 2008 R2- how to install a software from host to guest.

Dear All,
Can you Please tell how to install a software SQL Server 2012 from the Host to my Guest OS Windows Server 2008R2 in my Virtual Machine? I am using VMPlayer and have already created a VM using the Windows Server 2008R2.
I just need help in installing another software (SQLServer2012) from my laptop(guest computer) to my host VM. I also have the files downloaded into my C drive of my laptop(hostcomputer) for the SQL Server 2012. But I am lost as to where to click to install
this software to my VM.
I know I put into Windows Server 2012 forum but I thin the procedure should be similar.
Thank-you

there are few options,
you can copy the files from your host to virtual machine
you can create a iso file and mount it to vm
you can share the source files and access as a share

FTP logon issues on IIS 7 using Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi, I'm currently experiencing issues when trying to log on to an FTP server I created using Windows Server 2008 R2.
The FTP web site has Enabled both Anonymous and Basic Authentication.
On the Authotization Rules it has enabled Allow All Users and Anonymous Users with read permissions, and the local administrator with read and write.
Whenever I try to log on, either via IE or Command prompt, when asked for credentials, I get logon failures, either with anonymous or a username that has access permissions to the FTP root folder.
I tried changing the FTP application pool identity to Network Service, but still get the same error. I also have tried testing the connection from the basic settings section of the FTP Site, and when I test it using Application User (use pass-through authentication)
I get an error that says: ¨IIS Manager cannot verify whether the builtin account has access¨If I instead use a username and password, the test passes ok, however using this account to try to enter the FTP site I get logon failure, even when the account
I´m using is a local admin account.
The Server is part of an AD Domain.
I have read a few blogs and forums about problems with FTP validation but nothing related exactly to my issue.
Any ideas are deeply appreciated.
thanks
Eduardo Rojas

Hi, I would tend to ask on IIS forum (iis.net), as you might get more attention and help there.
For your issue, I would tend to think that you need to set the correct security on the FTP's home folder, but again it's only an advice, as I'am not an IIS's guru.

Windows Server 2008 doesn't show install date

Windows Server 2008 doesn't show install date for applications and update.<br /><br />It only shows "Unspecified", at the very top.<img alt="" src="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/286394"
/><img alt="" src="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/286395" />

In Programs and Features, you can have more options by right click on the tabbed window showing Name, Publisher and Installed on. May be you can check that once otherwise try to reinstall the features using Turn Windows features on /off.

Using Windows Server 2008 with After Effects as Render Slave?

Hi guys,
We have a fair number of servers that run Windows Server 2008 64bit. We wanted to further utilize these boxes and wanted to know if it's possible to use them as render slaves with After Effects? Anybody doing this? We couldn't find anything for system requirements on Windows Server 2008.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Jason

Hi Todd,
Another question for ya. Does it matter if we have some machines still running 32-bit render slaves for after effects and implement a master 64-bit CS5 after effects Master? Can you mix it up OR do all the machines have to be upgraded to the same version, eeven though they are just render slaves? We are just doing some thinking on reconfiguration and what to do so it's right the first time.
Thanks for the input.

Activating Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 180 Eval after Upgrade from Win2K8R2 Standard

I had a licensed instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. It is an OEM License.
I wanted to try Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise for 180 days without rebuilding the whole machine so I entered "DISM /online /Set-Edition:Enterprise" on the command line and now I can use the enterprise features.
The problem is that I have 30 Days to activate. When I attempt to activate, it says "Error: 0x8007232B DNS name does not exist"
How can I activate the 180 day trial?

"Error: 0x8007232B DNS name does not exist", suggests this server is now configured as a KMSclient, and it is trying to contact a KMShost to perform activation. It is not being returned any SRV records from your DNS, when it queries for _vlmcs._tcp
If you do not have a KMShost server implemented, you need to input a suitable ServerEnterprise product key.
When you purchase your ServerEnterprise license, you will be given a product key to use for this.
For this task, you can use slmgr.vbs /ipk
For your trial, you could use the method slmgr.vbs /rearm
this will only succeed 3 times, I think.

Problems PXE booting Gen 2 Virtual Machines after Upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2

My Current Setup:
I have two virtual machines set up with Hyper V on my Windows Server 2012 Server.
VM1: Configured to boot from an ISO file and runs Clonezilla server.
VM2: Configured to PXE boot using a legacy network adapter, and with a passthrough 250Gb hard disk.
These two VMs are connected to an external Virtual Switch, which allows physical machines to PXE boot to the Clonezilla server.
For the past few months I have been using this setup for two purposes:
1. To clone physical machines to the Clonezilla virtual server (as a backup).
2. To restore those image to the second VM if I find that need to get access to the files on the original image..
This has worked perfectly, except for the fact that the speed of the legacy network adapter on the second VM (which is required to PXE boot) is very slow. But I know this is because of the limitations in how the legacy adapter works...
Now my problem:
I found out that Gen 2 VMs allow you to PXE boot without having use a legacy network adapter, allowing me to image back to the VM faster. So I upgraded the Server to Server 2012 R2 . I then created the same two virtual machines on the R2 server. I can still
PXE boot the Gen 1 VM to the Clonezilla Server but I cannot get the Gen 2 VMs to PXE boot properly. They get an IP address from the Clonezilla Server but then just stop with the following screen. (note: I have disabled the Secure Boot).
Are Gen 2 VMs unable to pull down images from anything other than a WDS Server?

Hi J,
>>Unfortunately WDS is not a solution for us as it is dependent on the PC being part of a domain

Windows server 2008 R2 File& Folder Permissions; Ghost Permissions From "Parent Object" Assigned to Folder Owner

Windows 2008 R2 file server: Subfolders of a particular folder have an account that has Full Control permission that are listed as inherited. That account has no permissions in the parent folder. It was, however the account that was used to copy the folders
and their contents in there from another source and was the owner of the folder.
In Advanced Permissions, it shows them as inherited from "Parent Object" as opposed to the folder name of the parent folder (there are some of these.) (The parent folder of the place where the problem occurs does not inherit from _its_ parent)
I removed it as owner and yet the permissions remained. (as displayed either through the GUI or with ICACLS.)
If I make _any_ edit in Advanced Permissions, the 'ghost' permissions then go away (e.g. add my account with full control - I'm domain admin, so have that anyway) This step seems like it should be unnecessary, but it is required in this situation.
I've done this to 5 of about 20 subfolders and it is consistent. Folders which did not have the 'problem account' as their owner did not exhibit this characteristic.
This affects the files within the subfolders as well.
Oddly, adding an owner to a folder has the same effect and required the same edit before the permissions are seen. This was tested on a different drive on the same server.
Is this an anomaly, a bug, or expected performance?

Hi,
Do you mean that there is an account that has Full Control permission that are listed as inherited but it doesn’t appear in the parent NFS permissions? If so, please try to uncheck the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" checkbox,
clicking Apply.
There is a similar thread, please go through it to help troubleshoot this issue:
NTFS: I have a user’s that's inherited from parent folder but it doesn’t appear in the Parent ACL

Migrate Windows Server 2008 RD TS/RDS Per Device CALs from a 2008 r2 RD License server to a 2012 RD License server

I would like to migrate my 2008 r2 CALs from current Server 2008 r2 to a Server 2012 RD License server. Will the Migrate licenses Wizard in 2008 r2 Licensing server work for this or is there another process that I will have to use?

I have a 2008 license server with 2008 licenses that I need to migrate to 2012 servers and also provide some kind of fault tolerance in case one license server goes down. I want to split the licenses since we can't have the same number of licenses
on both servers. Do you know if the existing licenses can be split during the migration and be placed on two different windows 2012 license server as per Microsoft best practice?

Bit Locker Implementation in Windows 8.1 machine using Windows server 2008 r2 server group policy.

is it possible to enable the bit locker only for windows 8.1 machines through windows 2008 r2 server group policy ?
Thanx and Regards,
Shanif

Hi Shanif,
Yes, we can do this.
Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.
Cannot Save Recovery Information for Bitlocker in Windows 7
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

Firefox Settings for users in a Windows Server 2008/Win 7 Environment

I am currently building images of Windows 7 with Firefox 4 for use on our machines. We use Windows Server 2008 to apply user settings. I am looking for a way that I can provide bookmarks, change some of the default settings, and remove the start-up splash screens for Firefox. It turns out that each time a unique user logs into a computer, they have to walk through these splash screens, and the settings revert back to defaults, and the bookmarks are gone. We have several thousand users on our network, so any help fixing this issue would be appreciated.

Generally it is the browser service that populates network neighborhood. This technology is no longer used with newer OS like server 2008, windows 7/8.

How to install bo xi 3.1 on windows server 2008 r2 sp1 (virtual machine )

HI GUYS --
operating system: I am trying to install Business Objects into a virtual computer which has a windows server 2008 R2 SP1 operating system. I installed version BO XI 3.1 and I also installed Service pack 3 and Service pack 4. I installed liveoffice usual way. Whenever I try to design xcelsius and dashboard, I got some errors. In order to fix these errors, I followed SAP notes step by step. However, It didnt help me at all. I also tried to install by looking at install guide and supported platform documents, but I get an error each time of doing that. I can write each error over here. I also opened a link over here. Check out the link please to see the errors how to display webi docs. in liveoffice?
My main question is this.
Are there anybody who works operating system windows server 2008 R2 SP1 and this installed into the virtual machine? If so, Is it worked by doing which installations exactly?
Note; Business Objects tools work very well (infoview, cmc, web intelligencei and the others work without problems at QAAWS BO XI 3.1, but they have been given cluster error at BO XI 3.1 SP3) . In addition, port server settings have been installed based on the installion guide. If you give me any information other than whatever I said, I appreciate that. I also point out something. If I dont get any message which I attached a sample when I try to operate life office. In this situation I cant see either my documets or web documents in infoview)

Hi SYaGCi,
Denis is right this is actually documented in the Supported Platforms Documentation:
"Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are new platform support additions in Service Pack 3 which are only available for support on the SP3 full release install of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. The SP3 patch only release of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise does not provide support for these two new platforms."
Kind regards,
John

Installing terminal server role on windows server 2012 to use for Windows server 2008 R2 machines.

Dear
Our current setup is as follows :-
Active Driectory is in Windows Server 2003.
Citrix Xenapp version 5.6 with all Xenapp servers in Windows Server 2003
Now we are upgrading our Citrix farm to 6.5 and all Xen app servers into Windows Server 2008R2.
We did the configuration and testing; everything works fine except the terminal server is not configured which gives the pop always for the expiry date.
We do have license for 2012 terminal server which is not possible to downgrade for some reason and managent need to install new Windows Server 2012 for terminal server and activte the licenses.
My question is :-
1 Whether Windows Server 2008 R2 will get RDS cal license from Windows Server 2012 terminal server (RDS CAL license is of windows server 2012).
2. What is the role and features I need to activate in Server 2012 in order to use for Citrix 6.5 (only applicable fetaure for getting the RDS cal license.)
3. Whether I can add this 2012 server into domain. Is it possible to add 2012 server into Windows Server 2003 AD.
Your early reply is highly appreciated.

Thanks Jeremy..
I got exactly the right answers I am lookoing for ..
I successfully activated the terminal service on the newly created Windows 2012 Server and installed the retail license pack we had of 50+50+25 keys . It later shows the 125 keys successfully applied.
when I tried to link the Xenapp (Windows Server2008R2) to the license server, it first gives me error that session host service role is not installed on the ternial server. So I installed that role also in the terminal server.
But now its anothee error as below.
RDS Cals are not available for this Remote Desktop Session host server, and licensing Diagnostic has identified licensing problems for the RD session host server.
1. Is it wrong I did by installing session host server role into the terminal server (but really it gave me error like 'session host server role is not running on the license server' when I tried to link the license server).
2. Is it the problem that Windows Server 2008 R2 will not get license from 2012 RDS CAL license.
3. whether Clearing house will take time to update the license.
Your reply is highly appreciated. I need to know whether any other way I can link the Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers (Xenapp) to the license server.

Using Windows Server 2012 guest on Windows Server 2008 R2 HyperV?

Hey,
I will like to ask if we can run Windows server 2012 guest OS on Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V?
Jackson Yap APC Hosting http://www.apc.sg/

Yes. That's how I got used to the OS before it was released. I had my 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V host and installed Windows Server 2012 virtual machines.
However, do note that it is not listed as a supported operating system by Microsoft -

Windows Server 2008 R2: Using PowerShell to send a MSI file to all workstations

Hello!
We are currently using Windows Server 2008 R2. In the upcoming months, we are releasing new software. Instead of touching all the machines with gpupdate /force, we would like to know if we could somehow use Windows PowerShell and send that
command to all the computers in our organization? We are currently in the process of using Group Policy Management to set up the new GPO. After we create them, we would like to send the MSI file to all workstations. I know it is SUPER easy to do within Windows
Server 2012... as I have read articles and seen screenshots. I am just having a hard time figuring out how to make it work with Windows Server 2008 R2.
Thanks!

New-PSSession -computername Computer
where Computer is one of your remote computers. If that succeeds, great! But I'm guessing it won't and enabling that on all of your computers would require more effort than what you're trying to accomplish in the first place.
Psexec is free to download and you don't have to deploy it:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
As far as identifying your target computers, it really depends on your environment. Get-ADComputer is effective, but the example I provided above would get literally every computer in your active directory - is this something you want to deploy to
any and all servers, workstations, etc? How big and complex is your AD? Is this something you need to coordinate with all your systems around about the same time, or can it be staggered? Do you expect your target computers not to reboot between
now and then? I know that's a lot of questions, but your question is loaded and not easy to answer without knowing more about your environment.
What about this?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134201.aspx
There is a requirement to have certain firewall exceptions on your target systems, but hopefully they are because that is the best approach.
I hope this post has helped!
