Windows 2008 Server upgrade

Hi,
I would like to upgrade one of my Servers from Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise to Windows 2012 but I am not sure if I can and if I do what the implications would be.
The server in question is my Hyper V server host and has several other servers running from it that are stored on an external storage unit.
Will I be able to upgrade this server?
If not what are my options as far as reinstalling goes? The virtual servers are mainly production servers so I want to reduce the down time.
Thanks for your help.

Hi alamb200,
You can upgrade your Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1 to Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 Standard or Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 Datacenter with no problem.

However, please note that VMs will not work after you upgrade the Hyper-V 2012
R2 host, you need to take additional steps to move/migrate the VMs.

Mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password from active directory recently after we upgraded to windows 2008 server.

after upgraded to windows 2008 server, our mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password anymore. How can I re-bind the wiki server to the AD again? thanks in advance.

Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

Bank Statement management in SAP B1 on a VMWare Windows 2008 server

Hi everybody,
One of our customer is using a VMWare Windows 2008 server with SAP B1.
Actual version of Business One is SBO 2007A PL 00 PL 15 (SQL Server 2005).
Since the installation of this server using VMWare, we encouter problems using the SAP B1 Integration Platform for the process of the bank statements.
Everything including bank statements transfer was working very fine on a "real" server before new implementation.
When trying to open the Integration Platform Control Center on the server, we now receive the following message regarding JAVA.
"JAVA Virtual Machine Launcher : could not find the main class : program will exit."
JAVA is well installed on the VMWare server.
We have searched for a solution on the Web and it seems that JAVA and VMWare are not compatible. Does anybody have any information about that ?
Does anybody already have this problem with Integration Platfom on VMWare server ?
Is there a solution to our problem ?
Thanks for all your contributions.
Best regards.
Michel

Hi Michel,
First of all, your PL is too low. AFAIK, the first supported PL for 2007A SP00 is PL30. You may upgrade your PL first to see if that is a bug or not.
Thanks,

Problem with 10.2.0.5 patch on Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit

Hello
I have HP server with Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit. I installed
latest 64-bit version of Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and everything works fine and later installed the patch 10.2.0.5 (64 bits) as the Oracle maintains that with the R2 version of the system it is necessary to correct work.
Now, after uploading the patch database starts and closes
after about 15 minutes and my alert log file is changed to the binary version which do not see anything (means that after patch installation (10.2.0.5) the alert log file isn't normal text file and it looks like that:
Źýţ cśy iµ•eű .Ź ťy ťy Ř®y hčN)
You can read only the beginning and it's very large - 13 Mb after unpacking from ZIP.
Can anyone met with this configuration and knows how to solve
problem?
This is the link to my strange alert log file:
http://www.2shared.com/file/22MFap1V/alert_orcl.html
I attached my spfile.ora file too:
http://www.2shared.com/file/gUmID0fh/SPFILEORCL.html

Your alertlog is corrupted, it could be something about a virus or even a problem with disk drives. Have you scanned your server with anti-virus software? Have you scanned the disks?
Last questison: Have you upgraded your database after you installed the patch?
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
SQL> STARTUP UPGRADE
SQL> SPOOL patch.log
SQL> @ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\catupgrd.sql
SQL> SPOOL OFFIf not, please read the "readme" file which comes with patchset (do not just run the above commands without reading Oracle documention).

Error: SAP installation of ERP Sr3 with ORACLE 10g on Windows 2008 server

Dear all,
while installaing SAP ERP SR3 with ORACLE 10g on windows 2008 server...
we are getting error as not support.
please confirm wether this version of OS is uspported or not.
thanking you in all,
by
Animesh

actualy we tried to change Oraparam.ini file in the installation folder...
edited ... windows= 5.0, 5.1, 6.0
we had entered 6.0
Yes - that is necessary.
and started ... but after starting we are getting ERROR like unKNOWN and installation popup (OUI popup) exiting with .. error popup.
Yes - because Oracle delivers its own Java version - which is too old to run on Windows 2008.
if you suggest us to use 2003 64 bit for temporaray .... purpose.
and is there any specified procedure to UPgrade OS.
like... DB should be updated before OS upgradation.
You can run 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2003 x64 nicely and upgrade to Windows 2008. Since there is no "upgrade" (it is the highest version supported) there´s no need to do anything.
The question you have to ask is:
Why do you need Windows 2008? Is there any technical implication?

Does Windows 2008 Server run ok under Mac Mini Bootcamp?

Does anyone have any experience of installing and running Windows 2008 Server on a Mac Mini (of which has either Mac OS or Mac OS Server installed), under Bootcamp?
I currently have an old Dell with Windows 2008 server which acts as my Domain Controller, Exchange Server for a small home-office network. It's due an upgrade as the hardware is so old (and noisy!) and like the idea of having a nice compact, quiet Mac Mini, but want to make sure it can carry out the same duties under bootcamp on Win2008?

Windows 2008 can be installed in Boot Camp. However I don't believe it is officially supported by Apple so there may or may not be issues with installing the Boot Camp Drivers (or future updates to the Boot Camp drivers.) Not something I'd be recommending for a "production" environment. If this is a test/dev system, then probably worth trying, depending on how critical your network uptime is.
Also, you didn't mention if your Dell came with Windows 2008 preinstalled, but if it did, then likely it has a "branded" version of Windows that won't activate correctly on non-Dell hardware. (If your Windows disks have "Dell" on them, they won't work with the Mac.) So you may need to purchase a retail or volume license copy of Windows 2008.
In general, for a server running as a DC & Exchange, you'd want RAID1 as a minimum so that would be the Mac Mini Server, not the "desktop" Mac Mini. Unless you have one lying around, you're looking at something around $1500-$2000 to start, depending on whether you can transfer your existing Windows 2008 & Exchange installations. (Another $500-$2000 depending on what vesions of Windows & Exchange.) And probably 8GB of RAM since Windows 2008 & Exchange on 4GB is pushing it. Considering the costs, I suggest you look at the Dell T110 series or the HP Proliant 110 series. Both lines are very quiet and are supported for Windows 2008 from the factory, including Windows Small Business Server, which includes Exchange. While not as small as a Mac Mini, they are mini towers and about the size of a typical PC desktop.
If you really wanted a small footprint, then HP has a "microserver" series. You'd probably need to call HP to get the build you want as the online ordering is limited for that model. From Dell, there is the Zino model desktop. Again, not supported for a "server", but you were going to consider a the non-server version of the Mac Mini, then the Zino has at least a chance of you reusing your existing versions of Windows if they're Dell branded, thus saving your something in the range of $500-$2000 for new software. (But I would NOT recommend a non-server chassis without RAID1 hard drives, so the Zino is not my choice. I just offer it as a possibility if you accept the risk of an unsupported installation, as would have been installing Windows 2008 in Boot Camp.)
So yes, it will work. But I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment, especailly if you have the "desktop" computer without RAID1.

We have plan to windows 2008 server ECC5(is reatil) oracle 10G.

Dear all
Presently we are using winwos 2003 server enter prize edition ,ECC5(is
retails), oracle 9.2.0.7.
we have plan to windows 2008 server ECC5(is reatil) oracle 10G.
Is windows 2008 suported to the ECC5 (is-Reatail) and oracle 10G .
if supported please advise windows 2003 server is better or windos 2008 server better .
Thanks
Edited by: Venkat Ramesh on Aug 18, 2008 9:47 AM

ECC 5 is based on kernel 6.40 which is not (yet) released for Windows 2008.
See also note 1054740 - SAP System Installation on Windows Server 2008
I would recommend installing on Windows 2003 and later upgrade your system to Windows 2008 when kernel 6.40 is available.

When is going to be expired MCITP Windows 2008 Server?

Hello,
I would like to know until when is going to be possible to do MCITP Windows 2008 Server exams.
Some time ago I read on http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/retired-certifications.aspx that the certifications will going to be expired on July 31 of 2013. But nowdays it doesn`t appear anything on the web.
Many thanks
Regards

Hi, Roberto.
The MCITP: Server Administrator on Windows Server 2008 certification seems to have vanished from the web site. It is not listed with the other MCITP certifications and yet is not listed as a retired certification.
The MCITP: Enterprise Administrator on Windows Server 2008
certification is not scheduled to retire any time soon. It requires you to pass five (5) exams, explained here:
https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcitp-certification.aspx#item-ID0EDAAAABCA
Alternately, you can earn the MCSA: Windows Server 2008 certification, which requires you to pass three (3) exams. It is explained here:
https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-2008-certification.aspx
After earning either of these two (2) titles, you can easily upgrade to the new
MCSE: Server Infrastructure certification by passing just two (2) more exams, explained here:
https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcse-server-infrastructure-certification.aspx#upgrade
Good luck!

Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

Hi All
We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-
*Connection failed:
SQLState:'08001'
SQl Server error:10060
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client] TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party didnot properly repsond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Hi Eric,
yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabhu Reddy.

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server. I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers. Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer. I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

I am an HP employee.
