WDS on server 2008 std breaking .WIM files

Hi,
SUMMARY - 'Importing images into WDS seems to break them'
I'm a bit green so i appologise if I'm being stupid. I'm installing and configuring WDS and MDT deployment within a mixed MS 2003 domain environment. We need to be able to deploy 32 bit images and the server will be used for servicing images as well
as deploying and so (I think) I need to use Server 2008 standard as creating catalogue files on x64 systems for x86 images doesn't work.
So - the system is:
Server 2008 standard x86 edition; WDS Deployment Services Role; MDT 2012 Update 1; ADK 8, config manager tools for trace32.exe.
I have imported win7 boot and install images directly from the original DVD .iso files, both x86 and x64. Both capture and setup images work ok. I've added network drivers to these successfully. I can deploy vanilla win7 x86 and x64 using WDS - this works
fine.
So my issue is: I've deployed vanilla windows 7 to a desktop, installed applications, updated config as nessecary etc. Booted using the appropriate capture image and captured a .wim file. I've copied this to my WDS server and imported it as an install
image. When I try and deploy the image it fails just after the 'expanding windows files' stage. After looking in log files the error seems to be 'selected image file does not have a resource section'.
I've gone back to the WDS server, exported these image files and tried to mount them using DISM - I get the same error: "1812 The specified image file did not contain a resource section"
Mounting fails.
Now I've tried mounting the .wim files using dism BEFORE I import them into WDS and they mount without any issues. As soon as I import them and export them again they will not mount any more.
Please help, I don't know what else to try! :)
Some things I've thought but can't find answers to: Can you use 2008 standard to deploy Windows 7 at all? (server is earlier version of windows)
Is the apparent importing into WDS issue a red herring? Could it be that these images are broken from capture? Is there a way to test this without deploying the image using a USB stick instead of WDS?
I've tried uninstalling the ADK and installing WAIK instead. Exactly the same result. Here are some choice extracts from dism.log:

Hello JPNhingy,
How to do you capture the .wim file?
About the question: Can you use 2008 standard to deploy Windows 7 at all? The answer is: Yes, you can use the Windows Server 2008 to deploy Windows 7.
You could create a capturer image in WDS, for more information, please take a look at the following article.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11680.creating-a-capture-image-in-wds.aspx
Additionally, you could use the sysprep to generalize the install image.

KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites and print dialog box

Let's try this again. I have been asking the following question of Microsoft and every time I do, I have only been told to try another forum.
I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes. I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend (10/18/2014) which also installed the Security Update KB2909210
and rebooted the server. On Monday morning (10/20/2014), when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning. All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks. Some fields which normally have a small "x"
on the right-hand side used to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks. The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users. The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it
began interfering with productivity. I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing. I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
the print dialog box remained jumbled.
All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine. The sites display properly and process quickly, and the print dialog box is not jumbled. It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client
to their profiles on the server and use the IE version installed on the server who have the problem with IE10. The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day. This morning (10/21/2014) the
intranet sites are working fine through IE 9. I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as IE9 gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11, on any of our machines, to be too buggy.
How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites and print dialog box? What is so different about Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that IE 10 causes this corruption of intranet sites and the print dialog
box on the Server but not on the Win 7 machines?
The bulletin here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-011
is useless for determining why it breaks my intranet sites. Nor does it explain why the update destroys the print dialog box.

Hi,
In my opinion, it's hard to say your problem caused by KB2909210. Have you tried to uninstall this update for test if your intrant site's problem resolved?
If your problem truthfuly caused by this updates, you can choose to hid the update as a workaround method.

I would re ask this in a different forum as this is a Small business server forum and I'm assuming you aren't running that platform?
Or call 1-800-microsoft and issues with a security patch are ultimately comp'd back to you.
This re-asking in forum after forum after forum is ridiculous! When someone else has this problem and searches for it, they will get several useless results with the only responses being to ask in another forum.
This was originally posted in the Microsoft Community forum. The MS Forum Moderator over there advised I should post it here and gave a link in her response. God forbid she had just moved it to the correct forum as I've seen done on countless
other forums!

RDP Port not Listen in Windows Server 2008 Std With Sp2

Hi all
I have Windows 2008 Server Std with SP2 Domain Member Server.. From Last week On-wards , am not able to take remote desktop control .. But i can able to Ping my Server from network .. I check remote settings on that server.. It
is enabled.. and also remote desktop service(Terminal service) was started successfully.. I checked my network firewall for port(3389) blocking.. But there is no much block in my network firewall.. i also disabled windows firewall in my server.. But
still i couldn't able to take RDP.. I also checked my Domain GPO and Local GPO settings for RDP Block.. But there is no such settings enabled. I did following Troubleshooting Steps, but still the problem persist
1. Telnet serverip 3389
Result : Could not open connection to the host, on port 3389:
2. netstat -n -a -o | find "3389" (i run this command in my RDP Problem server)
Result : nothing displayed (3389 port not listed )
3. i again & again restarted Terminal service and the server, but still problem exists
4.i changed the RDP port no and restarted the service as well as the server , but still problem exist
5. I checked all RDP related Registry settings , everything is perfect
Please help me to solve this issue
I need your valuable reply urgently
Thanks in advance

Hi Mohamed,
You mention, that you the server is not listening to port 3389 when you run netstat. This is the reason why telnet and RDP connectivity fails in a first place. You also said that you changed the RDP port number. What was is before the change, and to what
did you change it to?
Please verify if the Terminal Service is listening to 3389 (0xd3d) with following command:
reg query "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v PortNumber
Output:
PortNumber REG_DWORD 0xd3d
Try to enable the Operational log for TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager events in Event Viewer:
Open Event Viewer
Navigate to Applications and Service Logs\Microsoft\Windows\TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager
Select the Operational log and chose Enable Log
from the Action or context menu
Restart Terminal Services service
Then consult this event log and the System and Application logs for any related errors and warning. It might be helpful to post relevant event log entries here.

Server 2008 Std R2 Backup warnings

Hello,
I'm having a problem for a while now with Windows Server Backup (with VSS). I don't really know when this started.
The thing is 3 of 5 partitions are backing up with warnings. Process can't backup some of the files which are:
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku F:\System Volume Information\SRM\quota.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku G:\System Volume Information\SRM\quota.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku E:\System Volume Information\SRM\datascrn.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku E:\System Volume Information\SRM\quota.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.
Process can't access these files because they are being used by other process. As I found out these files are disk quota files. I also read that I may backup them manually but I don't like that idea.
I tried disabling Antivirus software, deleting excludes from backup, changing time of backup. Nothing works.
I got 2 questions.
1. Will these errors make restoring backup impossible?
2. How I can fix this?

Hi Filip,
For this when you try to backup your file you can use the following :-
1. While backup from one drive exclude the following " $recycle Bin , System Volume Information, Quota temples"
2. After completing the backup of all data from your HDD you can also take a system state and Bare Metal Recovery.
For backup all share NTFS permission and Quota Details you can also backup the registry. Follow the steps for Backup :-
To backup share permissions, export the Shares registry key.
Open Regedit to the following location:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
Right-click the Shares registry key and select Export. Give it a file name such as
shareperms.reg.
When you want to restore the permissions, double-click shareperms.reg to import it back into the registry.
Use the Reg tool to backup the registry key from the command line:
reg export HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares shareperms.reg
If you need to restore it at some point, just run:
reg import shareperms.reg
Backup and Restore of NTFS Permissions
Use this command to backup NTFS permissions:
icacls d:\data /save ntfsperms.txt /t /c
The /T switch allows it to get subfolder permissions too. The
/C switch allows it to continue even if errors are encountered (although errors will still be displayed).
Use this command to restore them:
icacls d:\ /restore ntfsperms.txt
Note that in the command to save the permissions, I specified the target folder
D:\Data, but when I restored them, I specified just D:\ as the target. Icacls is a little funky like that, and here’s why.
If you open the text file with the exported permissions (ntfsperms.txt in the above example), you’ll see that Icacls uses relative paths (in bold below). Underneath the relative paths are the permissions for the folders in Security Descriptor
Definition Language (SDDL) format.
data
D:AI(A;ID;FA;;;BA)(A;OICIIOID;GA;;;BA)(A;ID;FA;;;SY)(A;OICIIOID;GA;;;SY)(A;OICIID;0x1200a9;;;BU)(A;ID;0x1301bf;;;AU)(A;OICIIOID;SDGXGWGR;;;AU)
data\folder1
D:AI(A;ID;FA;;;BA)(A;OICIIOID;GA;;;BA)(A;ID;FA;;;SY)(A;OICIIOID;GA;;;SY)(A;OICIID;0x1200a9;;;BU)(A;ID;0x1301bf;;;AU)(A;OICIIOID;SDGXGWGR;;;AU)
data\folder2
D:AI(A;ID;FA;;;BA)(A;OICIIOID;GA;;;BA)(A;ID;FA;;;SY)(A;OICIIOID;GA;;;SY)(A;OICIID;0x1200a9;;;BU)(A;ID;0x1301bf;;;AU)(A;OICIIOID;SDGXGWGR;;;AU)
Had I specified D:\Data in the command to restore the permissions, it would have failed looking for a
D:\Data\Data folder:
D:\>icacls d:\data /restore perms.txt
d:\data\data: The system cannot find the file specified.
Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files
You might think specifying D:\ as the target in the restore command may somehow mess up the permissions on other folders at that level, but as you can see from the
ntfsperms.txt output file, it only has information about the
Data folder and subfolders, so that is all it will change.
And for Disk Hard and Soft Quota you can also backup the REG for recovery. For this you need the following REG backup.

Restore Active Directory on Server 2008 using NTDS.DIT file

hello
I have NTDS.DIT file with me and want to restore it on same hardware with same host name and IP
Please help

Hi Rochak,
You have only the NTDS.DIT file?
No its not possible to restore the AD only using NTDS.DIT. You need to have the System state backup.
System state backup and restore operations include all system state data: you cannot choose to backup or restore individual components
due to dependencies among the system state components. However, you can restore system state data to an alternate location in which only the registry files, Sysvol directory files, and system boot files are restored. The Active Directory database, Certificate
Services database, and Component Services Class Registration database are not restored to the alternate location.

Windows server 2008 upgrade hangs at gathering files 0%

Hii,
While upgrading my Virtual Machine from Windows Server 2003 STD 32 Bit to Windows Server 2008 STD 32 Bit...it gets stuck at Gathering files 0%..
I have tried my changing the ISO file and also copied the setup files to one of my local drive then to having the same issue...
I have up graded almost 40 to 45 server but still didnt face such problem please suggest me any solution and i have also tried my googling the same but no luck...
And for info its an VM server in ESXI 5.5

Hi
Might help:
Open Windows Explorer on the system you are trying to upgrade AFTER a failed attempt
There will be three new folders:
$UPGRADE.~OS
$WINDOWS.~BT
$WINDOWS.~LS
Go into the Security Properties and give "Everyone" Full Rights (on each folder)
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

CF9 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit

Our company is looking purchase CF9 standard edition and install it on a Windows Server 2008 Std. Edition R2 64bit.
Does anyone forsee any problems as far as compatibility is concerned?

Not in the slightest - I installed five just the other week
All our virtual machines, running 2008 R2 x64. We went for Enterprise Edition, but I believe in CF9 they're both 64-bit anyway. These are the from the build notes I built up:
Install extra roles:
    Application Server
    Web Server (IIS)
      Application Development
      IIS6 METABASE Compatibility
Install extra Features:
    SMTP Service
Other than that nothing else needs doing. It's worth noting (as a slight but irritating aside) that in 2008 R2 the SMTP service is set to Manual not Automatic, so you'll want to change that unless you want your emails to stop every time you reboot the box.
But the actual install itself was far simpler than CF8 on 2008.

HOW TO INSTALL ODI 11g / OWB 11g IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 (64 BITS)

Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem.
Last week we buy a new server with Windows Server 2008 Std. R2 x64, for a new project. I tried to install the RDBMS Oracle 11g R2 (x64) without problems, but when i try execute the "Design Center" contents in OWB, show me the error: 0xc0000018
Then, I´m thinking in install Oracle Data Integrator to solution it, but i`ve read that neither can install on 64 bits system... This is true?
Somebdoy knows how can I install OWB 11g / ODI 11g in a Windows 2008 Server 64 bits?
Thanks & Regards!

OWB 11G Will have been installed with the database, it now ships with 11G.
Check you are on a supported platform for design centre using the certification matrix.
Quick google search for you regards 0xc0000018 :
