Windows 2012 WSUS Downsteam server to Windows 2008 WSUS server

Hi
we have installed windows 2008 Upstream server to Windows 2012 WSUS server and now they are able to sync the updates and but some updates are not able to download so what could be the issue.
whether this design is supported please confirm.

Have you installed KB2734608 on the upstream server?
whether this design is supported please confirm.
It is *NOT* supported.. but it *WILL* work if KB2734608 is installed on the WSUS v3 server.

    How to migrate windows server 2003 to 2008 live server without shutdown could anyone explain me ?
    Thanks & Regards, Amol . Amol Dhaygude

    I don't think you can do it without a shutdown. This also depends on the types of services, roles etc hosted on the server.

  • Windows 2012 & 8.1 ADMX with Windows 7 System

    Hello,
    We are a Windows 2008R2 & Windows 7 Ent Shop with System Center 2012 R2 & PKI Servers.
    We need to deploy 30 Windows 8.1 Enterprise Lenovo Tablets to the field.
    Would all our Windows 7 GPO still work if we upgrade/update our Central Store with Windows 2012 & 8.1 Definitions?
    Can any problem occur that we should be prepared for?
    Thanks!

    > Windows 7 and 8.  I need to know if ALL of my existing Windows 7 GPO’s
    > will still work if I update my ADMX templates to the newest versions.
    Existing GPOs don't take care of ADM(X) templates as long as you don't
    edit them, so yes, they will continue to work perfectly.
    THere was an issue in WIndows Vista with ADMX from WIn7 or above (Vista
    doesn't support the new reg_multi_sz possibilities introduced with W7),
    but W7/W8/W8.1 all support the newest ADMX templates.

  • How to add Windows 2012 R2 RDS to Existing Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server

    I currently have a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server running and I am looking to add a Windows Server 2012 R2 server to it. All I see when I google the setup is only for Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS, cant find anything to integrate with a current 2008 R2 Terminal
    Server.
    Can anyone help with this or point me to a blog I possibly missed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your comment.
    Yeah, agree with diramoh; as already commented. If you want user session from RDS Server 2012 R2 then you need to  install RDS License role on server 2012 R2, purchase and install RDS CAL (per user or per device) according your requirement and then you
    can use user session for server 2012 R2 and also for lower version. 
    But as you already have Server 2008 R2 RDS CAL, then with that you can simply access lower version but can’t manage Server 2012\R2. 
    For more information, you can refer following document.

  • How to apply windows 2012 r2 supported gpo on windows 2008 r2

    Hi All,
    am currently applying "Redirect folders on primary computers only" polciy that allow you to control your folder redirection to one primary computer account
    this policy can be only applied on windows 8 & windows server 2012.
    is there any way to apply this policy on windows 7 & windows server 2008 R2
    this link describes the configuration applied
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2012/03/30/configuring-primary-computers-for-folder-redirection-and-roaming-profiles-in-windows-server-8-beta.aspx
    thanks

    no
    Yes!
    For user profiles: No.
    For folder redirection: Yes.
    It is straight forward by using GPP "Registry" and item level targeting with an LDAP query for the msds-primarycomputer attribute of the user account which has to contain the computername, then modify shell folders and user shell folders accordingly
    and don't forget to populate the csc cache, too, if "do not make redirected folders available offline" is not enabled (another bunch of reg values).
    If you don't believe it works: I verified this for the "samples" chapter (chapter 10) of my book - I prepared a sample on "how to implement language independent Folder redirection for downlevel operating systems", especially Windows XP.
    You have to create the folders through GPP "Folders" - otherwise it will not work. And in my sample, I used the HomeDirectory attribute instead of the msds-primarycomputer for my ILT, but it works the same way:
    One side effect: It is NOT possible to redirect to a new server (or back to local) without manually copying the previous content.

  • Windows 2012 R2 DFSR and backlog for Read only Server

    Hi All
    I have strange situation - i have 2 servers running Win2012R2 with 2 folders replicated by DFSR ( + Deduplication Enabled on both servers). Second Server folders set to ReadOnly. But second server showing high backlog waiting replication to Server1 -
    in the same time Staging Folder is empty. When i'm disabling membership for this server, and enabling back - some time it is showing 0 backlog - all is ok, but then it resumes to show hight backlog again. How i can fix it?
    Best Wishes, Andrew Golubenkoff

    Hi,
    Is there any error message in the Event Log? Since the got the status 5 ( "5: In Error" ), you could try to rebuild the DFSR database to resolve the issue.
    For more detailed information, you could refer to the thread below:

  • Permission and ownership in Server 2003 and 2008 file server

    I have an issue but I am not sure if these are the designs of the file server permissions. I have one user who has the modify rights to modify/read and create folders in a share folder. In the share folder, she had created a subfolder; so she should
    be the owner of the subfolder and her security permission is modify. By right, modify does not have the rights to assign the permission to other users but as owner, she does. Does this mean that the folder owner supersede the security? And is this possible
    to avoid this? eg. folder owner but does not have the rights to assign permissions to other user to access. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Thim,
    >>Does this mean that the folder owner supersede the security?
    If the user is the Owner of the folder, he or she should have Full Control permissions to the folder,
    which means the user can do anything to the folder.
    >>And is this possible to avoid this? eg. folder owner but does not have the rights to assign permissions to other user to access.
    As far as I know, unless we deprive the user of the ownership, we can't achieve this.
    Regarding file and folder permissions, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • Adobe is not printing - Terminal Server Windows 2012

    Hello and thank you for reading this.
    We recently upgrade our server infrastructure  to Windows 2012 R2. When a user logging to a server (Terminal Server 1 let's say) sometimes they cannot print from Adobe. If they can login to another Server, let's say Terminal Server 2 they are just fine.
    The issue is the following:   They click on Print >  Select Printer >  Hit "Print"  and nothing happens.   When Adobe Reader is working, after clicking on "Print" you clearly see a progress bar until it reaches 100 %. 
    Troubleshooting:  We have updated the drivers to the latest versions , re-install Adobe Reader but nothing seems to help.  This is very annoying as the user needs to login to a different server in order to print from Adobe disconnecting the whole session. 
    Also, a different user with same permissions can login to the server having issues and print fine from Adobe.
    If you can guide us in the right direction to finally resolve this it would be greatly appreciated. 
    Additional Notes: All printers are in a printer server environment.  Users are able to print everything else except PDF Files using Adobe Reader.  When installing another PDF Reader software they are able to print fine. 
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Are you still facing this issue. What is the current version of Reader installed.
    Provide me more information about, how are user profiles are setup.
    Regards,
    Ajlan Huda.

  • Mount Points in Windows 2012 R2 Cluster not displaying correctly

    Hi,
    Try
    and I might, I can't get Mount Points displayed properly in a Windows 2012 R2 cluster.
    In Windows 2008 R2, I added them, and they appear under Storage, as for Example, Cluster Disk 7: Mounted Volume (S:\SYSDB). (I may have had to bring them offline/online).
    in Windows 2012 R2, they are showing up as, for example, '\\?\Volume{7c636157-e7e9-11e4-80dc0005056873123}'
    In the error log it shows up as :
    Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 7' contains an invalid mount point. Both the source and target disks associated with the mount point must be clustered disks, and must be members of the same group.
    Mount point 'SYSDB\' for volume '\\?\Volume{7c636106-e7e9-11e4-80dc-005056873123}\' references an invalid target disk. Please ensure that the target disk is also a clustered disk and in the same group as the source disk (hosting the mount point).
    Now I've checked the error, and in
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/dd353925(v=ws.10).aspx it says
    "The mounted disk and the disk it is mounted onto must be part of the same clustered service or application. They cannot be in two different clustered services or applications, and they cannot be in the general pool of Available Storage in the cluster."
    So I have created a 'Other Server' Role. When I go right click on the Role and go to 'Add Storage', Cluster Disk 6 (the root volume) displays S:\, and Cluster Disk 9 (hosting the mountpoint) says Mount Point(s): (S:\SYSDB). I select both, and add, but
    alas, the Mount Point still shows up as '\\?\Volume{7c636106-e7e9-11e4-80dc-005056873123}\ (not S:\SYSDB or Cluster Disk 6: Mounted Volume (S:\SYSDB).) as I would expect.
    They are both clustered disks (iSCSI). I would expect when it says in the "same group", both added to the same role would be in the same group.

    Hi,
    Thankyou for your response. That's (sort of) good to know, but it seems to be a step backwards from Windows 2008 R2, where you would actually have the meaningful Mounted Volume: (S:\SYSDB) displayed, to the meaningless '\\?\Volume{7c636157-e7e9-11e4-80dc0005056873123}'
    GUID. Obviously before you do anything, you need to cross reference the disk number to 'Disk Management'; it would be better if is was displayed correctly in Failover Cluster Manager in the first place.
    Secondly, the GUID is somewhat misleading. In Windows 2008 R2 for example, it appears as though the same GUID was displayed on each node (e.g. using Mountvol.exe). In Windows 2012 R2, it appears as though different GUID's are displayed on each node, e.g.
    Node 1.
    \\?\Volume{7c6368a4-e7e9-11e4-80dc-005056873123}\
            S:\SYSDB\
    Node 2.
    \\?\Volume{97cc0d34-e7e9-11e4-80db-0050568724c4}\
            S:\SYSDB\
    But the GUID in Failover cluster manager remains the same (you can't really cross reference with what you see in FCM to Mountvol).
    Strangely enough, when I check the registry in 'MountedDevices' on Node 1, both of the GUIDs are displayed (even though only one is displayed in MountVol.exe),  referencing the same Disk ID listed in Diskpart.exe. I can see this mentioned in
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/959573, where is says :
    A volume can be multiple unique volume names (and thus multiple GUIDs) when it is used by multiple running installations of Windows.  This could happen in the following scenarios and in similar scenarios where multiple installations of Windows have
    accessed the volume:
    Using a volume on a shared disk in a cluster where multiple nodes have accessed the volume.
    Oh well, that's progress I guess.

  • Windows 2012 network teaming broken "host unmanageable"

    Hello,
    we are in the process of migrating servers to new hardware using the Platespin Migrate tool. That process has been tested in controlled Proof Of Concepts now for Windows 2003, 2008 and 2008R2, but now we come to Windows 2012 and we run into an issue with
    the Network Teaming reconfiguration after the copy is complete.
    The Windows 2008R2 and below also had teaming software installed from HP (HPNCU), and after migration we could simply run the cqniccmd.exe /D command to remove the "ghost" Teaming configuration and setup a new Team on the new networkadapters in
    the new (blade) server.
    Now with Windows 2012 we also have teaming on the original server that was configured using lbfoadmin.exe, and it was expected that after server 'restore' using Platespin that the team would be broken, but I also expected to simply be able to remove that
    leftover and configure a new one. But instead when I open the servermanager/lbfoadmin I see that the server shows "host unmanageable" and there is no sign of any old Team, nor does it show the new adapters to let me make a new team.
    I hope anyone can help me cleanup the old team-config and make a new one.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Eric
    Best regards and many thanks in advance, Eric Vegter

    Hi Alex,
    thanks for the reply. Basically it doesn't matter what tool is used to copy/clone/restore a machine to new hardware... After that process the NIC teaming will no longer work because the underlaying NICs that build the team have gone. That same thing happens
    when doing this cloning whit an HP server that has the HP Nic Configuration Utility installed that you use to configure a Team. After clone/migrate the server has new NICs and the virtual Team-NIC that was created on the original server is still seen in the
    Network-Adapters (NCPA.cpl) overview but it is invalid at that moment and must be removed. That remove/cleanup is simply done via the HP NCU commandline utility.. All works fine... On windows 2008r2 and below.. but 2012 is a different story.. That Virtual
    NIC that was created by the Windows 2012 built-in teaming is not visible after Cloning in the network-adapters overview, but the system still thinks it has teaming configured and using the provided GUI or powershell commands I cannot undo that old configuration.
    I also cannot setup a new teaming configuration. There is no firewall active on the system and the new physical NIC has an IP assigned and I can RDP and ping to the server as well, so the ICMP cause you mention will not be the case here..
    The only way I could clone that 2012 system and afterwards setup a new team was to break the teaming on the original source server, then clone it and then on that new server setup a team. That was possible now that the original server did not have a Team
    so nothing was left 'ghosted' somewhere in the registry/config. 
    Still I wish this would be possible to simply cleanup via a powershell commandlet and a /force (or /include-hidden or so) parameter so I do not have to make changes to my original source.
    If anyone has a suggestion how to (forcefully)  cleanup that Windows 2012 NIC Teaming config pls let me know. It would still help me migrate/clone the other few 2012 systems around here.
    Thanks
    Eric

  • Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008R2 with Windows 2012 DC

    Hi All,
    I am going to update DC from Windows 2003 Sp2 to Windows 2012 R2 (Add a new Windows 2012 DC at first and turn off Windows 2003 DC after). Just think about our Exchange server, which is Exchange 2007 SP3 (08.03.0297.001) on Windows 2008R2 SP1. Do I need
    update Exchange to 2010 or I can keep it as is? 
    Thanks,

    What service pack, what rollup?
    With SP3, RU13, you should be OK for the domain controller itself:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
    However...
    The domain / forest functional level cannot be at Windows 2012 R2.
    Maybe that will be supported in a future rollup (?).

  • Windows 2012 RDS CALs - OLP NL downgrade to Windows 2003 TS CALs

    Hi,
    Hope someone can shed some light on this inquiry
    I plans to purchase the following:
     2x Windows 2014 SQL STD 2 Core License OLP NL
     30 Windows 2012 RDS CALs (User or Device) OLP NL
               Breakdown example
                Site A = 10 
                Site B = 5
                Site C = 15
    Existing servers are Windows 2003 R2 STD running Terminal Services
    Tried setting up a Windows 2003 R2 TS Server and install TS Roles & Licensing Manager
    Questions.
     1. When I tried to add Windows 2003 TS CALs - OLP NL, the activation screen requires to enter the Authorization & License numbers.
     Can I use the Authorization and License number of the newly purchased Windows 2012 RDS CALs on the Windows 2003 TS Server?
     2. Should I get a separate Authorization & License number per site? (In the example above 3x Authorization & License numbers). Or can we use a single Authorization & License number for all sites? Each site is independent from each
    other.
     3. As I understand, SQL 2014 can be downgraded to any prior previous version at the same editions. (as far as SQL 2000, provided he has the installer), If client has an existing SQL 2003 STD activated already, does he need to change the license key?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
    Yes, you can use newly purchased server 2012 RDS CAL on server 2003 terminal server. 
    RDS and TS CAL Interoperability Matrix
    For detail regarding the licensee issue I suggest you to contact MS Volume Licensing.
    As per my research, I think you don’t have to change the old license key if client already have the key. And in regards to SQL server you can have a look over beneath article.
    SQL Server 2014 
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Change license to Windows 2012 R2 Essentials and Windows 2012 R2 Standard

    Hi,
    I'm working for a small company (10 users). We have 2 servers; 1 is a normal file server, domain controller etc.; the second is dedicated for running a financial application. We bought and installed new hardware but with so called 'Technet licenses'.
    Obviously we need to buy proper licenses. I have 2 questions :
    1. Am I correct in buying 1 Windows 2012 R2 Essentials license, 1 Windows 2012 R2 Standard license and 10 CALs ?
    2. Can I just install these licenses 'over' the existing 'Technet licenses' ?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Ronald Ruijtenberg

    I would purchase one Server Standard license, install it as a hypervisor on the server, then add to VMs.  First one is Server with the Essentials role, the second to run your financial application.  You can do this on one physical box and you
    only have to purchase one copy of Server Standard.

  • Replacing Windows 2012 foundation

    I have an old industrial application running on Windows Server 2003, If I buy a server with Windows 2012 foundation, can I use windows server 2013 instead of the original

    Hi,
    Windows Server 2012 Foundation is full-featured 64-bit version of Windows Server. You need to determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows Server 2003 operating system. Some application running on 32-bit
    Operating System cannot compatible with 64-bit Operating system.
    In addition, Windows Server 2012 Foundation is only available through original equipment manufacturers. You cannot obtain installation media for Windows Server 2012 Foundation at retail locations. Besides, upgrade of Windows Server 2012 Foundation is not
    supported. Before you do that, please refer to the article about Windows Server 2012 Foundation:
