  • SAP on Windows 2008 R2 Standard to Enterprise Edition

    Hello!
    We are using SAP NetWeaver System running on Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition (VM Ware).
    We are planning to extend RAM size of this server up to 50GB.
    Is there any possibilites for an Inplace Upgrade from Standard to Enterprise Edition?
    Thank you!

    Actually, it is possible.  I haven't done it myself, but there is a tool, DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool), that supposedly supports in-place edition upgrades, i.e. exactly what you're describing.  It's talked about in Microsoft Technet at Upgrading Windows Server 2008 R2 without media - Server Core - Site Home - TechNet Blogs.  It's about the same thing as a "Windows Anytime Upgrade" that you see available in Windows 7 or 8, so no reinstall is necessary.
    If I recall correctly this wasn't possible in earlier versions of Windows Server, and that's probably what Reagan is remembering.
    Let us know how it goes!
    Best regards,
    Matt

  • How to install Cisco Work 3.2 on Windows 2008 Server Standard R2

    Hi Everyone,
    I have got Cisco Works LAN Management 3.2. But the problem is that i have a Windows 2008 Server Standard R2 and when i try to install, it fails. What I read from the below link is that it supports
    "Windows 2008 Server Standard and Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 and 2. Both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems are supported on the above versions."
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps2425/data_sheet_c78-534877.html
    Please help me out on how i should install on the Windows 2008 Server Standard R2. If there is any patch or any other way out.
    Awaiting your response.

  • REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

    I am using a window 7 professional  service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but  the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
    on how to use it.
     Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional  service pack 1.
    Thank you.

    Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server.  I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd983943(v=ws.10).aspx
    Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
    But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do?  You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products.  In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

  • Upgrade Windows 2008 R2 Standard to 2008 R2 Enterprise fails

    Hi,
    I am trying to perform an in place upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard to Enterprise. I want to setup some things with failover clustering. The install goes all the way to the last step where it is transferring files and then it hangs. This server
    is in my home and I don't have a plethora of servers to play with so I need to upgrade. This server is an HP ProLiant ML330 G6. My other server is a DL385G2 running 2008 R2 Enterprise. They are different because I was scouring eBay and pounced when a deal
    came up. :-)
    This server is a DC and it is running:
    DHCP
    DNS
    Exchange 2010
    MS Forefront Security
    Print Server
    DFS Namespace
    DFSR (I have a second server that it replicates with)
    All HP services (But I disable them for the upgrade)
    I suspect that it is failing on a print driver but I am not sure. I disabled all non-MS services from boot. I also added the system environment variable with the iphlp dll. (can't recall it right at this moment)
    The way I have been doing this is to power off the server, break the RAID 1 O/S mirror by removing 1 of the drives, power up and run the upgrade. If it fails, I power off, insert the drive I removed and pop out the "upgraded" drive. Boot up, pop
    in the failed upgrade drive and let it rebuild.
    Any thoughts? The last time it failed I let it back out the upgrade and I copied off a bunch of the setup log files before I restored the previous mirrored drive.
    I am also contemplating upgrading this server to 2012 R2. Would using my RAID 1 method above work? I don't know if the upgrade will change something with the server's computer account therefore not allowing me to revert to 2008 R2.
    Lastly, I know that I shouldn't have all of these services on one server, but this is in my home and not a work environment. It runs fairly flawlessly. 

    Hi,
    In addition to Dave Patrick, what is the error message when you upgrade failed?
    Meanwhile, please check this article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/server_core/archive/2009/10/14/upgrading-windows-server-2008-r2-without-media.aspx
    It seems like the server can't be a DC at the time of upgrade.  If you demote a DC using dcpromo, you can upgrade, then re-promote it.

    hi
    You cannot convert a x64 bit OS to a 32 bit version, you will need to contact a reseller in your area to assist you with the media if you have a license.

  • Installing Dirsync on Windows 2008 Server Standard FE

    Hello all,
    I need to Dirsync my only domain controller i have to Office 365.  My server is a Windows 2008 Server Standard FE.  I installed all requirement for dirsync to be installed (and all Windows updates also) and i still get an error when trying to install
    (Says my Powershell is not at least 2.0, but it is...) 
    Anyone tried to install Dirsync on that kind of server ? (and made it work?)
    Regards,

    It is
    required to update to Windows Management Framework 3.0 or Powershell 3.0 if you are installing DirSync on Windows 2008 R2.  I believe the same applies to 2008 SP1 as well.
    Also, I've heard of issues where non-English versions don't properly detect the presence of PowerShell.  You may want to temporarily change your regional format  to English to test this, if this applies to you.

  • Windows 2008 R2 Standard side by side error

    I have a Dell Poweredge 310 running Windows 2008 R2 Standard. I have update the bios to the latest version and the bios update did take but now all of my 32bit software will not run. I receive the error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side

    I have looked over other posts and most have stated to install the C++ redistribution 2008. I was able to install the 64 bit version but I cannot install the 32bit version. I receive the error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
    configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.”
    So I am not able to install any 32bit software.  I have tried to enable the WOW64 feature with the command DISM /online /enable-feature/featurename:ServerCore-WOW64 but get this Error: 0x800f080c Feature name ServerCore-WOW64 is unknown.

    I have looked at the .Net 3.5 that comes installed in the Windows Features and it is installed. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall the feature because it will take down the AD and I really do not want to rebuild the AD
    Is there some setting I am missing?

  • Windows 2008 R2 Standard Remote Desktop Users cannot Connect

    I have a windows 2008 R2 Standard Terminal Server and some users aren't able to connect even though they are in groups that are in Remote Desktop Users on the local computer.  I checked the local security policy setting "Allow log on through Remote
    Desktop Services" and I see that Remote Desktop Users is a member of this group.  Inside of Remote Desktop Users we have DOMAIN\Domain Users and DOMAIN\Terminal Users.  Most of our users are in both groups, but there are still some people that
    aren't able to connect via Remote Desktop to this computer.  There are no users in "Deny logon through Terminal Services."
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Is it happens to all users or any particular group of users?
    Please check by creating new user add them to “Remote Desktop Users” group and then see whether that test user can remote desktop to the server.
    It also might happens that you may be limited in number of users or some connection issue or may be firewall setting issue. Please go through beneath article for information.
    Remote Desktop disconnected or can’t connect to remote computer or to Remote Desktop server (Terminal Server) that is running Windows Server 2008 R2

  • 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.4 standard and enterprise

    Hello,
    We are on 10.2.0.4 (standard and enterprise) version on windows 2003 and we wan to upgrade to 11.2.0.3 or 11.2..0.4? I want to understand which one is the best method? Also upgrade procedure for standard and enterprise would be same?
    We can afford 2- 3hours of downtime
    our database sizes are
    300 GB Standard
    200 enterpeise
    3 Tb enterprise
    Please help

    Always test the upgrade process on a test database (cloned from production) on identical hardware. 3-4 hours is do-able if you -
    1. install and patch the 11.2.0.4 software in advance
    2. Use DBUA
    3. follow all of the recommendations in MOS Doc 455744.1
    4. test the upgrade process multiple times to anticipate/correct all issues and minimize downtime

  • LMS 4.0 eval on 180-day Windows 2008 Server Standard R2 SP1 eval

    I'm having difficulties installing the LMS 4.0 eval on an 64-bit 180-day Windows 2008 Server Standard R2 SP1 eval.
    The installer says that it needs 2008 Server Enterprise, but the LMS 4 release notes say 2008 Server Standard works.  It also says that R1 is supported, but makes no specific reference to R2.  I'm assuming that if R1 is supported, R2 would be supported as well, no?

    You need to install a patch for this OS support:

    Enterprise vs Standard : technical view
    If you install Enterprise you must:
    - install Enterprise whith all the modules
    - apply the patch 8.1.5.0.1
    (if all the modules weren't installed, the patch fails because
    he tries to relink non installed products)
    If you install Stardard you must:
    - install Standard
    - no patch required !
    Enterprise vs Standard : package
    Standard is good enougth for a lot of purposes. It includes
    TextRetrival, Java inside the database, etc.
    With Enterprise, you can by additional products like Spatial
    data, Time Series, etc.
    Hope this helps,

    I found on the matrix of items enabled in 10g standard and enterprise edition that the standard edition does not have Oracle Data Guard, but it does have standby database. For a standard edition database with a standby database configured (manually since the GUI isn't available in STD either), do you have to manually copy the log files to the standby server, or will this automatically be done using standard edition?
    Thanks,
