Windows 2012

Has anyone started testing Windows 2012 with their UCS? I have a few RTM servers up and running and I've seen a couple problems so far. I have them booting from SAN using B230M2 blades with the M81KR card.; that's working fine.
I ocassionally get hardware errors in the Windows system log:
Event ID 22
A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Component: Memory
Error Source: BOOT
Error Type: 17
The details view of this entry contains further information.
I tried installing the chipset drivers but they fail during the install.
I am also seeing 1 of the 4 paths to the storage go down intermittently. I am troubleshooting this to see if it's a SAN, switch or server issue.
When I see the path go down I find a bunch of errors in the Windows system log:
Event ID 153
The IO operation at logical block address 147f8 for Disk 1 was retried.
We are running F/W 2.0(3a)

Louis,
I'm seeing events that I believe correspond with the loss of the path to the storage:
After a few of these the server reboots itself.
I'm not seeing anything in UCSM for the Windows memory errors though.
Our storage is a Dell Compellent SC040.
I'm going to do some comparrison testing at our DR site; we have an identical UCS and Compellet array there, but the Compellent is directly attached to the FI's. At our primary site the Compellent is attached to our Nexus 5020's. I don't thing the Nexus' are the cause of the storgae path issue; but it's worth a test.
Let me know how you make out with your B230 testing.
Thanks,
Don

Windows 2012 Nodes - Slow CSV Performance - Need help to resolve my iSCSI issue configuration

I spent weeks going over the forums and the net for any publications and advice on how to optimize iSCSI connections and i'm about to give up. I really need some help in determining if its something i'm not configuring right or maybe its an equipment
issue.
Hardware:
2x Windows 2012 Hosts with 10 Nics (same NIC configuration) in a Failover Cluster sharing a CSV LUN.
3x NICs Teamed for Host/Live Migration (192.168.0.x)
2x NICS teamed for Hyper-V Switch 1 (192.168.0.x)
1x NIC teamed for Hyper-V Switch 2 (192.168.10.x)
4x NICs for iSCSI traffic (192.168.0.x, 192.168.10.x, 192.168.20.x 192.168.30.x)
Jumbo frames and flow control turned on all the NICs on the host. IpV6 disabled. Client for Microsoft Network, File/Printing Sharing Disabled on iSCSI NICs.
MPIO Least Queue selected. Round Robin gives me an error message saying "The parameter is incorrect. The round robin policy attempts to evenly distribute incoming requests to all processing paths. "
Netgear ReadyNas 3200
4x NICs for iSCSI traffic ((192.168.0.x, 192.168.10.x, 192.168.20.x 192.168.30.x)
Network Hardware:
Cisco 2960S managed switch - Flow control on, Spanning Tree on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for the .0 subnet
Netgear unmanaged switch - Flow control on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for .10 subnet
Netgear unmanaged switch - Flow control on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for .20 subnet
Netgear unmanaged switch - Flow control on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for .30 subnet
Host Configuration (things I tried turning on and off):
Autotuning
RSS
Chimney Offload
I have 8 VMs stored in the CSV. When try to load all 8 up at the same time, they bog down.  Each VM loads very slowly and when they eventually come up, most of the important services did not start. I have to load
them up 1 or 2 at a time. Even then the performance is nothing like if they were loading up on the Host itself (VHD stored on the host's hdd). This is what prompted me to add in more iSCSI connections to see if I can improve the VM's
performance.  Even with 4 iSCSI connections, I feel nothing has changed. The VMs still start up slowly and services do not load right. If I distribute the load with 4 VMs on Host 1 and 4 VMs on Host 2, the load up
times do not change.
As a manual test for file copy speed, I moved the cluster resources to Host 1 and copied a VM from the CSV and onto the Host.   The speed would start out around 250megs/sec and then eventually drop down to about 50/60 megs/sec. If I turn
off all iSCSI connections except one, it get the same speed. I can verify from the Windows Performance Tab under Task Manager that all the NICS are distributing traffic evenly, but something is just limiting the flow. Like what I stated on top,
I played around with autotuning, RSS and chimney offload and none of it makes a difference.
The VMs have been converted to VHDx and to fixed size. That did not help.
Is there something I'm not doing right? I am working with Netgear support and they are puzzled as well. The ReadyNas device should easily be able to handle it.
Please help! I pulled my hair out over this for the past two months and I'm about to give up and just ditch clustering all together and just run the VMs off the hosts themselves.
George

A few things...
For starters, I recommend opening a case with Microsoft support. They will be able to dig in and help you...
Turn on the CSV Cache, it will boost your performance
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2012/03/22/10286676.aspx
A file copy has no resemblance of the unbuffered I/O a VM does... so don't use that as a comparison, as you are comparing apples to oranges.
Do you see any I/O performance difference between the coordinator node and the non-coordinator nodes? Basically, see which node owns the cluster Physical Disk resource... measure the performance. Then move the Physical Disk resource for the
CSV volume to another node, and repeat the same measure of performance... then compare them.
Your IP addressing seems odd... you show multiple networks on 192.168.0.x and also on 192.168.10.x.   Remember that clustering only recognizes and uses 1 logical interface per IP subnet. I would triple check all your IP schemes...
to ensure they are all different logical networks.
Check you binding order
Make sure you NIC drivers and NIC firmware are updated
Make sure you don't have IPsec enabled, that will significantly impact your network performance
For the iSCSI Software Initiator, when you did your connection... make sure you didn't do a 'Quick Connect'... that will do a wildcard and connect over any network. You want to specify your dedicated iSCSI network
No idea what the performance capabilities of the ReadyNas is... this could all likely be associated with the shared storage.
What speed NIC's are you using?   I hope at least 10 GB...
Hope that helps...
Elden
Hi Elden,
2. CSV is turned on, I have 4GB dedicated from each host to it. With IOmeter running within the VMs, I do see the read speed jumped up 4-5x fold but the write speed stays the same (which according to the doc it should). But even with the read
speed that high, the VMs are not starting up quickly.
4. I do not see any difference with IO with coordinator and non coordinator nodes.
5. I'm not 100% sure what your saying about my IPs. Maybe if I list it out, you can help explain further.
Host 1 - 192.168.0.241 (Host/LM IP), Undefined IP on the 192.168.0.x network (Hyper-V Port 1), Undefined IP on the 192.168.10.x network (Hyper- V port 2), 192.168.0.220 (iSCSI 1), 192.168.10.10 (iSCSI2), 192.168.20.10(iSCSI 3), 192.168.30.10 (iSCSI 4)
The Hyper-V ports are undefined because the VMs themselves have static ips.
0.220 host NIC connects with the .231 NIC of the NAS
10.10 host NIC connects with the 10.100 NIC of the NAS
20.10 host NIC connects with the 20.100 NIC of the NAS
30.10 host NIC connects with the 30.100 NIC of the NAS
Host 2 - 192.168.0.245 (Host/LM IP), Undefined IP on the 192.168.0.x network (Hyper-V Port 1), Undefined IP on the 192.168.10.x network (Hyper- V port 2), 192.168.0.221 (iSCSI 1), 192.168.10.20 (iSCSI2), 192.168.20.20(iSCSI 3), 192.168.30.20 (iSCSI 4)
The Hyper-V ports are undefined because the VMs themselves have static ips.
0.221 host NIC connects with the .231 NIC of the NAS
10.20 host NIC connects with the 10.100 NIC of the NAS
20.20 host NIC connects with the 20.100 NIC of the NAS
30.20 host NIC connects with the 30.100 NIC of the NAS
6. Binding orders are all correct.
7. Nic drivers are all updated. Didn't check the firmware.
8. I do not know about IPSec...let me look into it.
9. I did not do quick connect, each iscsi connection is defined using a specific source ip and specific target ip.
These are all 1gigabit nics, which is the reason why I have so many NICs...otherwise there would be no reason for me to have 4 iscsi connections.

Issues with Shell32.dll, NTDLL.DLL and Migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2012

Hello all,
I am new to ThinApp and working as a consultant to help a company migrate older Windows 2003 software to Windows 2012. They have purchased ThinApp 5.0.4.5 so that is what we will be using.
We have created a clean 2003 VM and did a pre-scan
We loaded the application and configured it and then did a capture.
We then tested the capture the 2003 VM and it works
We then loaded the capture on a Clean 2003 VM and it works
We then loaded onto a 2012 VM and when running the app from a command window get an error -missing import shell32.dll:StrCpyNW
If we run the capture in Emulation Mode on 2012 VM, we do not get the Shell32.dll error but instead the cmd fails with a Fault Module Name - NTDLL.DLL error
I am sure I am just missing the correct location to identify or configure the capture - but do not have the experience to know where yet. (Taking training next week).
Until then, is there any suggestions which I can try?
Thanks for your time in advance,
Vince

Tried and done that. The main issue while configuring the printer from the printer Web Interface is that there is no access to the Digital Sending section due to a problem with the "Sun Java plug in" I think the code mentions 1.31. or similar.
We downloaded the java plug in and installed it. No progress.
We reset the printer to defaults and reconfigured it .. It sees the smtp gateway and access it but fails sending email with scanned documents..
We have tried in very different ways. We connected the printer to another domain SBS server 2003 and it works beautifully. So, I have no idea on what is the problem. We created a firewall exception for ports 390. 1783 from the SBS to the Printer
and still no go..
We have tried four different accounts and nothing. Same results as stated originally.
Any other suggestions??

Joining Windows 2012 Server to SBS 2011 Domain

Hi All,
I have been trying to get a new Windows 2012 Server to join a SBS 2011 domain. The error message I am getting is:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: xxxx. The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.
I have a bunch of other Windows 7/XP workstations that have joined successfully. I have also tried disabling TCP/IP v6 on the 2012 server and joining the domain with the netdom command. The SBS 2011 server is listed as the primary DNS server on the 2012
server.
What else can I try here?
Thanks,
DR.

I am having the same issue has the OP. I have my DNS settings pointing to the sbs server that hosts the domain and DNS. I am receiving the same error.

Synchronization fails on Windows 2012 Server

Hello, Running DPM 2012 R2, Protected computer Windows 2012 Standard
I'm backing up only folders (19 GB) on a Windows 2012 server which also have SCCM 2012 installed on it. The initial replica and recovery point creations are successful. Any
scheduled synchronization job scheduled after will fail. The job display "In progress" but there is 0 MB data transferred and will remain in that stage for days until I cancel the job. A reboot of the protected server
resolves the issue temporarily where I might get a couple days of successful synchronization\recovery points but then the job will freeze again. I have looked in the event logs and the logs in Monitoring on the DPM server and also on the protected computer
but have not found any error that points to the cause. Has anyone seen this issue? Will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction of troubleshooting this issue. Thank you.

Not seeing any errors that stands out. Here is the log from today's synchronization job that is hung.

Make sure you have the SharePoint 2013 with Service Pack 1 ISO. Pre-SP1 will not install to SP 2013, and you cannot slipstream it yourself.

SharePoint 2013 SP1 on Windows 2012 R2

Hello all,
Excited as I was to finally get the slip-streamed version of SP 2013 with SP1 so I could install it on Windows 2012 R2 I'm having trouble installing the pre-requisites.
I've found this article here -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2765260/en-gb - but the resolution won't work. The update (KB2771431) won't install on 2012 R2 and the manual fix fails even though I am connected to the internet.
Has anyone successfully installed SP 2013 SP1 on 2012 R2 ?
Thanks

On Windows 2012 Terminal Server Outlook fails to connect to Exchange 2013

I have a new install of Windows 2012.  I have two physical servers. One is a W2012 std Domain Controller ("DC"). The Second is configured as W2012 HyperV  ("HV"). Under HV I have
two VMs. One VM is W2012/Exchange 2013 ("ExchVM) and the other is W2012/Terminal Server ("VMTS"). All systems are behind a firewall appliance. Exchange is working via Outlook and OWA internally and externally. The self
created SSL must be installed manually on external machines since it comes up as an untrusted certificate. Once installed remote outlook works and OWA works. I have configured the terminal server and I am able
to login remotely as various users under my "TS group". The problem is when ever I attempt to open Outlook for the 1st time, it fails to connect to the exchange server.   (Open Outlook 2013, click next
on the splash screen, "Yes" Add an Email Account splash screen, click next, Auto Account screen populates NAME and Email Address correctly, click next, Searching for mail server settings..., check on establishing network connection, check on searching
for alias@ domain, then fails the logging on to the mail server) The error reads: "Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The
connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."   I am connected in RDS from offsite, and from the RD session I can access shared folders on ExchVM and DC. I have
tried have verified the server Exchange server name is correct via "Get=ClientAccessServer" command. I have also tried to use the guid via "Get-Mailbox
ALIAS | fl name, exchangeguid. Keep in mind all desktop users on the network are connecting to Outlook without issue.
I would appreciate any thoughts on solving this issue.

Hi,
According to your workaround, it seems that the Outlook Anywhere configuration in Outlook client is not correct when using the Autodiscover service.
Once you connected to Exchange server by manually settings, please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration tool in external Outlook client to check the autodiscover service:
open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar - Test Email AutoConfiguration. Put your email address - uncheck use guessmart and secure guessmart authentication - click Test to check your Autodiscover service.
Please check the Log tab and confirm whether the Autodiscover service is connected successfully. Also confirm if the connection issue happens to all external users when they open Outlook for the 1st time. In Exchange server, please make sure
autodiscover.domain.com has been included in your Exchange certificate which is assigned with IIS service.

Install Exchange 2010 Sp3 on Windows 2012 R2

Dear All,
From Microsoft Exchange support matrix, I can tell that Exchange 2010 Sp3 is not listed on supported page. However when I run the setup, the prerequisite setup check, dose not list any warnings or issues with the setup, all check are green. Is it possible
that the support OS matrix has not been updated? Is Exchange 2010 Sp3 supported on Windows 2012 R2?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/09/17/exchange-support-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Thank you

The prerequisite check is checking that the required Windows components are installed. Exchange 2010 is still not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Install SharePoint 2013 on Windows 2012 R2

What are the right steps to slipsteam SP 2013 with SP1, from what I understand this will fix the issues with Windows 2012 R2

You currently cannot install SharePoint 2013 on 2012 R2. You will need to wait for an updated ISO release from Microsoft for SharePoint 2013 with Service Pack 1, which will have an updated pre-req installer binary.
The SP1 currently out does not update that binary.

Install sharepoint 2013 demo on windows 2012 r2 essentials

Am configuring my laptop for demo so installing windows 2012 r2 essentials (which requires to be the DC). I know SharePoint 2013 server is not recommended to be installed on the DC. I have seen the Workflow 2013 is not supported on the DC but
still can work with the 2010 workflow. any other SharePoint 2013 features are not available on the DC ? From the SQL Server perspective this will only be a security issue the way I see, but am using this laptop for demo/test only.

HI,As you said,SharePoint 2013 does not support installation on to a domain controller. A single label domain (SLD) names or single label forests is also not supported. Because the use of SLD names is not a recommended practice, . Therefore, there may be
incompatibility issues when SharePoint 2013 are implemented in a single label domain environment.Apart from this no issues.you can find the detailed installation of sharepoint 2013 in below.

Peter,
I recommend to remove the Windows 2012 R2 server out of the farm and redeploy on W2008 R2.
This issue does not have an easy fix.
Summarizing, this appears to be the issue:
1. Windows Management Framework 3.0 is integrated with Windows 2012 R2, which installs .NET 4 and Powershell 4.0. Not uninstallable.
2. The Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell is not supported with Powershell 4.0.
3. The SCOM SP2010 MP puts a package on the defined farm server and when the agent launches the package, it calls Powershell (v4 in theis case) and errors out. The target W2012 server will have an Error 0 in the Operations Manager Event log. See below.
Options:
1. Work around maybe - Develop method for manual discovery (I'm working on that now).
2. Rebuild SP2010 farm on Windows 2008 R2
3. System Center Team - Write a new MP to down version Powershell (Powershell.exe -Version 2)
4. Powershell Team - Write a SharePoint Snapin for Powershell 4

Is SharePoint 2010 Supported on Windows 2012 R2

Hi
I have read Trevor Seward's responses to various questions on this subject :-
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ad4e17ee-83de-41d6-a974-244ceccb8a63/is-sharepoint-2010-sp1-is-supported-by-windows-server-2012-currently-i-have-os-version-of-server?forum=sharepointadminprevious

However, we have a farm which is currently SP2010 SP1 which we are about to upgrade to SP2010 SP2 running on Windows Server 2008R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2. So the farm is currently not supported by Microsoft.
We are now looking to upgrade this farm to SP2013 SP1 running Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2012.
We plan to start this process of by upgrading Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2.
Will SharePoint 2010 SP2 run on Windows 2012 R2 (or will we need Windows 2012) ?
Once Server 2012 R2 (or Server 2012) is up and running, we will upgrade SP2010 SP2 to Sp2013 SP1.
Finally upgrade SQL Server 2008R2 to SQL Server 2012.
So the part I don't know is will SharePoint 2010 SP2 run on Windows 2012 R2 or Windows 2012 ?

is the right steps will i do for INSTALLING SHAREPOINT 2013 ON WINDOWS 2012 R2?
adil

Get the SharePoint 2013 w/ SP1 ISO from the MSDN or VLSC (or Download Center if using SharePoint Foundation 2013) -- this is required for Windows Server 2012 R2, other media will not work. Follow the standard SharePoint install process, e.g. run the pre-req
installer, and then install SharePoint.
Once completed, install the appropriate version of SP1 for your product. See http://thesharepointfarm.com/2015/04/list-of-good-sharepoint-2013-service-pack-1-packages/
for a list of packages.

Installing SharePoint 2013 in a Windows 2012 R2 Server I was getting the following error

when I install prerequisiteinstaller.exe in sharepoint 2013, got the below error:
Error: The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role.
Any expert please help?

Hi,
From your description, I know you get error when you install SharePoint 2013 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
If you have tried all method above. In your case, you have installed the Web Server(IIS), but the
Web Server (IIS) role installation may fail. You could try run commande: aspnet_regii -enable –i.

As SharePoint 2013 does not support Windows 2012 R2 Server very well what you can find from this blog:
