Windows 10 WHCK Testing and Server Requirements

Hi,
We need to perform the logo tests for one of our drivers. Could you please let us know if we can set up the test server with Windows Server 2012 R2 for the logo tests or we should use only Server 2012 Standard edition?
Do we need to use WHCK 2.1 for performing the tests? Could you please clarify this urgently?
Thanks

Hi Susmitha,
For Windows 10 driver signing, you have to use Windows 10 only and the kit which is going to support Windows 10. HCK 2.1 is not supporting Windows 10. Point to remember, Whenever new OS comes from MSFT, new kit comes along with it.
Thanks,

SAP SSM 10.1, hardware and server required?

Hi
Please help me, what are the Hardware and Servers requirement for SAP SSM 10.1, can we use SAP BW 7.4 for this or any separate server or add on required??
Please also let me know weather cube builder and pas administration both can be used simultaneously for SSM??
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Sharma

Hello Rahul,
The 10.1 installation guide located on the Service Market Place > Release & Upgrade info > Installation & Upgrade Guides > Analytics > Enterprise Performance Management > Strategy Management > 10.1 lists the requirements. As well there is more information in the Product Availability Matrix, the link to that is in the install guide.
I would also recommend reviewing knowledge base articles 1954589 and 1979183.
As for using PAS and Cube Builder you can have both open but the limitations is that Cube Builder (along with Entry and Approval) use a model in Exclusive mode so you would not be able to work on a model in PAS at the same time you are working on it in cube builder.

Remote Desktop Connection between Windows Mobile 6.5 and server 2012

Hi all,
We have problem with remote desktop connection. The server that I want to connect is 2012 R2.
We have no trouble with server 2008. I searched from internet, there are solutions on server side(I am not sure if these suggestions solve the problem), but our customers don’t want to solve this problem
on server side because it is diffucult and risky.
Is there a solution on handheld terminal side to do?
Operating system: WM 6.5 classic(Professional o.s. has no effect, same error continues)
Any help will be appreciated from your side.
With Best Regards.

Hi,
What is the precise error message you are seeing? What are the exact symptoms?
I don't remember what version of RDP/featureset is supported by Windows Mobile 6.5. Perhaps the client does not support Network Level Authentication, which is required by default on Server 2012 R2. You can enable non-NLA connections by
unchecking Allow connections only from computers with Network Level Authentication in Server Manager -- RDS -- Collections -- Properties of collection -- Security tab.
Lack of NLA may not be the cause of the issue you are experiencing, however, if it is the only way to solve it would be to change the server setting or to potentially install a new client on the device that supports NLA.

SharePoint Server 2013 single server installation licenses and system requirements

We are thinking of setting up a SharePoint Server 2013 for the following features to be accessed by our test team (<100 users)
Our requirements are as follows -
Total user access <100 users(starts with 50 and may be go upto 100)
Mainly Access to TeamSite(Document library), WiKi, BI reports view(SSRS Reports integration)
We have a Visual Studio Ultimate license that covers SQL Server 2012 and Share Point server 2013.
We have also got a Amazon EC2 machine access to create a Xlarge box with Microsoft recommended Cores, Memory, storage for SINGLE INSTALLATION of SharePoint Server 2013 and SQL server database on Windows Server 2012
My queries are as follows
Are the licenses above sufficient to go ahead with setting up the SP Server? or do i need any other licenses ?
I would like to create local LDAP in amazon without connecting to the company active directory. Would this be possible? We have users from other locations(different countries) providing services to our company and we would like them to access this portal
to share and access docuemnts without any network issue etc..
Are there any known firewall issues with EC2 machines for share point deployment
System requirements for single server installation (with or without BI reports)
Please note this implementation is only for internal use by the test team and is not critical. Not a production implementation.
Is there any better solution?
Much appreciate your help
Thanks

MSDN subscription licenses for SharePoint aren't, as far as i know, for use as production devices. This means that whilst you can use it for testing and development you can't use that license for the SharePoint server that you'll all be using.
As such I think you will need to buy a SharePoint 2013 server license. The same goes for SQL, Windows etc.
There is also the question of user licenses, ie. CALs. I don't remember if those come included as part of an MSDN subscription.
2) Possibly. As long as Amazon can host a domain for you it should be possible.
3) Pass. Microsoft prefer you to use Azure and most of my training and experience is with that.
4) High. 4 cores, 24GB of RAM minimum.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx#hwforwebserver
You'll either need a 2XLarge or a memory orientated box, in which case you won't have much storage space.
Internal team infrastructure is still important. If you're using it enough to make it worth having then you need it there and running.
Have you considered using Office 365?

PKI SCCM Client Certificate Template not viewable by Windows 7 and Server 2008 workgroup machines.

Hello everyone,
I’m having issues with workgroup computers, not domain systems when I request a certificate.
It’s extremely weird. It has something to do with Windows 7 and Windows 2008 machines. In 2003 server I can request a certificate manually with certutil and it see the certificate template. I copy over the exact command
on windows 7 and it can’t see the certificate template.
I have the following configuration:
CA Enterprise
I have created the SCCM Client Certificate
I have created the SCCM Web Server Certificate
I have created the SCCM Distribution Point Certificate
GPO is configured
SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 configured to do HTTP and HTTPS
Installed SCCM Client Certificate
Installed SCCM Web Server Certificate
Installed Distribution Point Certificate
Deployed to a domain computer good on PKI
Workgroup Computers:
I’m having issues with deploying certificates
Windows 7 –
(ERROR) not successful
Windows Server 2008 R2 –
(ERROR) not successful
Windows Server 2003 - successful
Windows XP – successful
How I’m getting the certs for the clients is by utilizing the following scripts from this URL.
http://www.ithierarchy.com/ITH/node/48
I did find a couple of errors in the code, but if it’s working on my Server 2003, then it should work on the others. Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 seem to have the same issue. The error I’m getting is the following:
Command line requesting the cert ---- CertReq –new –f testcomputer.home.pvt.inf c:\client\testcomputer.home.pvt.req
Error --- Template not found.
SCCMClientCertificate (this is my template)

Just to give an update on what’s happening with this. I found out this format is unsupported by MS with Windows Vista and newer OS’s.
Instead you must utilize two other additional roles on the CA to have this work. The caviate is, I’m down to the testing and it’s not working as in the document. I have MS Support
working with me to resolve this issue since it was written by MSFT.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/05/25/enabling-cep-and-ces-for-enrolling-non-domain-joined-computers-for-certificates.aspx
and use this doc for similar workgroup computers for rolling out certs. This was written for RT devices, however, it should work once I get to that point.

880GM-E41 and Server 2008 / Windows Home Server 2011

I am building a WHS 2011 machine (which is based on Server 2008) and am considering the 880GM-E41 mainboard. However when I go to the product website:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/880GM-E41.html
I don't see drivers listed for Server 2008. Specifically, there are chipset, audio, raid (etc) drivers listed for Windows 7 64-bit, but nothing for Windows Server 2008. However in the past I have experienced mainboards which 'just work' regardless of the drivers that are downloadable. My question is... before I purchase this mainboard, does anybody know if the motherboard works on Windows Server 2008? Or which devices/features will not work?
I actually don't require the RAID drivers to work since I won't be using hardware raid, but I will need the system, chipset, and audio drivers working (whether they get pulled from Windows Update or downloaded from MSI).
Thanks!

WHS 2011 is built on the Windows Server 2008 R2 code base, which is built on Windows NT 6.1, the same core operating system used with the end-user oriented Windows 7. So basically, you need to use Windows 7 64bit drivers and everything will be fine.

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up or crash with the older version. Is this problem being looked into and or being corrected. I use Firefox with Google and my system is XP Pro 32 bit. THIS IS REALLY making me MAD. My email is [email protected] and would appreciate a response to this ASAP. I have tried a couple of items from your help section and nothing works.

'''''Safe Mode'''''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

How to Setup 3 different environments - Devp. Test and Prod. on same server

Hi,
We have the following configuration -
Server 1 - Database - Oracle 9i Release 2
Server 2 - Middleware - Oracle 9i AS Release 2
Front-end - Developer 9i (FOrms 9i, Reports 9i)
All the servers and PCs have Win 2K.
We have only one Application Server, on which Forms Services and Business Intelligence have been setup.
Can we have three environments - Development, Test and Production configured on the same Application Server (Server 2) ?
What we expect is like this -
User will specify URL of starting form on his broswer and as per the URL, the application will run form from one of the three environments mentioned above.
Thanks

Hi,
Most of the instructions you have mentioned , already was configured.
except for the tmp and temp directories.
And even I changed them from System Properties >> Advanced >> Environment Variable under User variable for Administrator and System variables , the problem still exist Os User and Group Check .
I attach the conf_VIS.txt file because I thought it may help.

Can we run domain controller windows 2008 32 bit and additional domain controller on 2003 server

im my environment we are trying to upgrade from server 2k3 to 2k8, out testing done on server 2k3 to 2k8, but can we run domain controller windows 2008 32 bit and additional domain controller on 2003 server ...kindly suggest
Nitin Gaurav

Yes you can. If you have two 2003 AD servers currently and upgrade one of them to 2008 AD then they'll continue to be able to work together. The domains functional level will remain as 2003 across both servers so at this stage you won't get any benefit from
the new AD functionality available in 2008.
Once you've then upgraded the second 2003 server to 2008 you can then upgrade the functionality levels in AD to make it 2008. It's been a while, but I believe it doesn't happen automatically, so once all AD servers have been upgraded you have to go into
AD and upgrade the functionality levels yourself.
