Windows Phone 8 SDK on Windows Server 2012

Is possible to install the windows phone 8 sdk on a windows server 2012?
Is also possible to develop and deploy modern ui app with Visual Studio 2012 on Server 2012?
Thanks.

Yes you can :)
Follow the following steps and I hope you can.
1-First of all install hyper-v role from server manager.
2-Install Windows Phone SDK 8.0 from official Microsoft Web.
3-Update Visual Studio Express 2012(Update 4) for Windows Phone. Search it on Bing you will get the update.
That's it. Now you should be able to run it properly even if you are on NON-SLAT machine you can run the Emulator without any problem.
If this solves your problem, please mark this reply as answer.

Basically you are asking as how to port silverlight to Xaml (RT). Go one by one converting each API from silverlight to XAML, like IsolatedStorage isn't there in RT, so look for its alternative etc.
See here the namespace/class mappings : Windows Phone Silverlight to Windows Runtime namespace and class mappings

Lost window, using published application on server 2012, when access it via web remote.

Hi,
We use an edi software installed on a Server 2012.
When we use this software accessing the server by Remote Desktop, everything works normal.
When we use the same software accessing the server by web access, (...softname/RDWeb/Feed/webfeed.aspx) where was published this soft application, we lost some windows after different actions.
For example if I do a modification for a value in one specific window, after I click save, that window disappear but can appear again only if I click again anywhere on my desktop.
In other words that window lost the focus and probably is still open under another window. Clicking again anywhere, will reactivate it and that window appear again.
Can you please help me to find a solution to this problem?
Thank You!

Hi,

Would you please tell us which window and what has been modified specifically?

Windows 7 (Ent) Sp1 on server 2012 R2 HyperV, RFX USB redirection not working

Hello,
I currently have windows server 2012 R2 with HyperV installed. I have built two virtual machines. A windows 8.1 and Windows 7 sp1. Both are enterprise editions
For RemoteFX the hypervisor is using a Zotec GTX 760 GPU. It recognizes it and uses it to apply remoteFX adapter on my Windows 7 Sp1 VM.
As you are aware I do not need to use a GPU to enable RFX on my Windows 8.1 it can do this without the need of a GPU.
Using an RDP client( v8.1) I can connect to my Windows 8.1 VM with a USB headset,memory Key or a printer and they all enumerate on the Virtual machine. The driver for each device installs
and I can use the device without any issues.
However this issue lies with the Windows 7 SP1 VM. I can connect to it via RDP( Same client) but I cannot redirect any devices to it. I have installed the latest integration services available on the VM. I have ran all updates available.
Because I have ran all updates the rdp version on the VM is running v8.1.
Previous to installing the updates USBr still was not working
I have enabled the following group polices under remote desktop services on the Windows 7 SP1 VM :
RDP 8.0 -- Enabled
Configure RFX -- Enabled
Is there a known issue with USB redirection not working on a Windows 7sp1 virtual machine hosted on server 2012 Hypervisor ??
Many Thanks
Brian

Hi,
According to the log above, I found that we run the script on both Server6 and Server7. Errors as below:
Server6: Conversion is not supported in restricted language mode or a Data section.
Server7: Couldn't figure out valid servers from the specified destination scope. Check your parameters and try again.
Since we can only run the RollAlternateserviceAccountPassword.ps1 Script on CAS server, the script not works well if Server6 is MBX server.
For Server7, based on the error message, it seems you still have no right to run the script/cmdlet.
Please add your account to Organization Management Role group(ADUC->domain.com->Microsoft Exchange Security Groups) to test if possible.
By the way, from Technet:
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Client Access Security" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

Windows 8.1 and SQL Server 2012

Let me set the environment..
I recently upgraded from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 8.1. Pro. Before the upgrade I was able to run a application that we use that has a SQL 2012 database connection.
After the upgrade we are now getting this error "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied."
I have been checking some of the related errors but everything I've tried so far has not resolved the issue. Has anyone else had a similar issue? I think the upgrade may have broke something in the TCP stack.
Keep in mind that WIndows 8, Windows 7 and previous versions are fine and not having an issue.

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.

Can't install the Windows Update package KB2674319 (SQL Server 2012 SP1)

Hi. I need to get the update of my MS SQL Server 2012 installation in order to get the SP1.
When I run the Windows Update it appears to download well the package.
Then when it begins to install I get the error "84C4000E: Se ha producido un error con Windows Update" (our server is in Spanish).
I have the last updates for Windows Server, a rebooted our server and the issue remains.
Any idea of what should I do to get the SP1 update?
Thanks in advance.
Gustavo.

Hi Gustavo,
Based on your description, I suggest you should refer to the following articles. And then check if you can install the update successfully.
SQL 2012 Server fails in Windows Update with error 84C4000E

Windows Phone 8 and Windows InTune

I just signed up for a 30-day Windows InTune trial account and I'm in the process of setting up mobile device management for Windows Phone 8 devices. After looking through the documentation, I just want to verify that
before I can even enroll any Windows Phone 8 devices for management in Windows InTune I need to...
1. Purchase a $99/yr subscription to establish a Company (not an Individual) account on the Windows Phone Dev Center (to get a Symantec Publishing ID)
2. Purchase a $299/yr subscription for a Symantec Enterprise Mobile Code Signing Certificate to obtain an enterprise mobile code-signing certificate using the Symantec Publishing ID from step #1
3. Download, sign the Company Portal App with the XapSignTool tool using the Symantec enterprise mobile code-signing certificate, and upload the app back into Windows InTune
Is this correct?
Regards,
JJ

An important update to this thread - as of November 2014, you can now enroll Windows Phone 8.1 devices for management in Windows Intune without having to purchase a Symantec certificate. For details, see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoftintune/archive/2014/11/18/improvements-to-the-windows-phone-8-1-enrollment-process-for-intune.aspx
As of 4/2/2015, hybrid configurations still require a Symantec cert to enroll a phone, but you can get the Company Portal app for WinPhone in the Store and you can send deep links and web links to hybrid phones via that portal. The ability to enroll WinPhone
8.1 in hybrid without a cert is in the works. Stay tuned to the Intune blog for the announcement when that comes. Or you can ping me by replying to this thread, and ask me if certless hybrid is available yet.

Installing Windows Phone Apps to Windows 8.1

Are Windows Phone applications supposed to installed on Windows 8.1 Pro? The 8.1 Start menu includes the Store application, but most of the apps I need to install refuse to install and insist that they need a Windows Phone account.
Will

Each device processor has it's own architecture (a set of instructions that is supported by a processor), referred by a unique name. So, in the case of desktop, the architecture is x86 (or x86-64). In the case of phones, it's ARM (Advanced RISC Machines)
architecture. Hence, the apps developed for Windows Phone will not be able to run in Windows desktop, and so you're seeing the error message.
Hence, as britishdhez says, you can use the phone emulator. The emulator emulates the ARM architecture in the desktop PC, so Windows Phone apps will run on the emulator without any issues.

How do I play Windows Phone Videos on Windows 7 after I get the Denim Update?

Since receiving the Denim update, new videos recorded on my phone no longer play on windows 7. I have the latest Microsoft Codec installed and verified that my Windows Media Player was configured correctly using the tools available from Microsoft support
here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992/en-us
I can play new videos recorded on my Lumia Icon (post Denim) on my Surface 2, Surface Pro (Windows 8.1) and Windows 10 computers out of the box but not on a fully updated Windows 7 PC. I have not changed my phone's video settings since receiving
the Denim update, but videos recorded prior to the update can be played on Windows 7 and those recorded after the update cannot. This applies to both 1080p 30fps and the new 4K (2160p 30fps) format.
I also searched MS download site for any applicable codecs and found that nothing has been updated since April 2014.
Did anyone test this update with Windows 7?????

I see no reason to buy WinOnX, when I make a totally free tool called Wineskin that well let you do much more... if you really want to pay for something, Crossover is more expensive, but is MUCH MUCH more user friendly, as well as actual Wine devs work for them, so the money helps make Wine better... and WinOnX seems like a few people trying to cash in on Wine when they don't even do anything with it. Maybe they do more, but if they do, they sure don't say they do.
Its possible to make a Wineskin app with Steam and some working games in it... but Intel HD 3000 isn't the best graphics to have for anything Wine based.
VirutalBox has several graphics issues. If you really want to run Windows in a virtual machine with gaming in mind, you'd want to buy Parallels 7, since nothing else is close to it yet in performance and compatibility with games.

Mac and windows clients losing connection to Server 2012 Namespace

I am running Windows 2012 Standard edition on two HP Servers. Both are fully patched O/S's and all HP system updates are installed. Each is running a 10 Gbit NIC to a Cisco 2960 Switch fully updated. Both Network shares are on HP external Drive bays connected
through a Smart Array P822 card
All users connect to the primary server (secondary server configured not to take referrals at this time)
My Mac clients running OS X 10.9.1 connect using smb and the namespace. When the designers come in they usually have to reboot in order to connect to their server shares. We discovered today that if they change the IP address the reboot is not needed. We
have an archive server running on a Synology NAS. Their connection to the Synology is not impacted.
The windows machines will lose connection at random and not everyone at once. Usually no more than twice in a week. The fix is either a reboot or an IP change, sometimes both. None of the machines go to sleep or hibernate. All machines are fully patched
with windows updates, and HP system updates.
We run Avast on both the Mac's and PC's if this makes a difference.
Any thoughts?
thanks

thanks Shaon,,
1) IP address before is within our DHCP scope of 192..168.0.51/200. When we set to static we set it to 192.168.0.16/20. We then reset back to DHCP.
2) The error message is that it can not find the server if I try to map it.
3) Clients can still access by IP address and FQDN
We have disabled Avast on a few machines to see if it will make a difference. We then ran into the issue on a machine without Avast installed.
We did notice that our DNS server was not deleting old entries and we found many duplicate entries. We set it to scavenge and then I went through and deleted old records. Not sure if this would cause a problem or not.
thanks again for your help!

Best Authentication Library for Windows Phone 8.1 & Windows Desktop 8.1 Windows Store apps using Open Connect 1.0

What's the best go forward framework (Web Authentication Broker, WPF, other) to use when authenticating against an Open Connect 1.0 authentication server (that's OpenID + oAuth v2.0)? My developer says that Web Authentication Broker is not supported
in Windows Desktop 8.1 (so if you can confirm this that would be great also).
We've created a universal app to support Windows Destkop, Tablet, Phone (8.1 and up) and plan to add support for iOS and Android via Xamarin later.
Your feedback is appreciated.

Cannot browse to Server 2012 shares from Windows 8.x

I can't conntect or browse to any shares on a 2012 server from a Windows 8.1 client. I can connect from Windows 7 to server 2012. And from Windows 8.1 I can connect to 2008 servers. Is this a new security feature/setting on Windows 8.1 or on Server 2012?

Hi Spetroski,
Based on your description, I’m a little confused with your question. Please let me confirm something more.
Is it in a domain environment? Did you mean you type the share path in
Run, and then access share? If so, please check if use server’s IP address to access, will the same result?
If I misunderstood the connection way, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Please confirm which following scenario is similar with current state of this issue.
When use Windows 8.1, you can connect to server 2012. However, can’t browse and access all shares that host in server 2012.
Can’t even connect to server 2012, when use Windows 8.1.
If none, please feel free to let me know some details.
Meanwhile, please let me know if you can find some error message when this issue occurred. If can find, please
post the complete error messages here.
Hope this helps.

Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2 Running Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone

I am a lone wolf developer running Hyper-V on a legally-licensed Server running Windows Enterprise 2008R2. I have extremely limited research funding.
Since I need to evaluate Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone development for the 1080p Phone Emulator, I created a Virtual Machine of Windows 8.1 Evaluation Copy RTM on my server. I am trying to create software for the Nokia Lumia 1520 Phone-Tablet.
Everything in the Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine runs perfectly from Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2, except for one problem related to my Phone development project. Networking is perfect, the display is perfect, there are no other issues except this "gotcha".
The problem appears with the Windows Phone SDK Update 4, which supports a 1080p
Windows Phone Emulator. This emulator is supposed to load it's own instance of a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V virtual machine
when debugging the Phone Application from Visual Studio 2012 Express.
This Emulator tries to start it's own Hyper-V session inside Windows 8.1. In my humble opinion, it should be possible to do this (load a Windows 8.1 HyperV Virtual Machine inside a "parent" Virtual Machine).
It presents this error message instead:
Essentially, Windows 8.1, running in a Virtual Machine, should also be able to create a Virtual Machine inside it's own Virtual Machine. That is the required design of the Phone Emulator (must be able to intantiate a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V Virtual machine to display
the Phone).
If that does not work, then I guess it must not be a supported configuration. If not, then I need to licence Windows 8.1 on a separate physical computer. Anyone want to tackle this?
+__+

I have a legal, licensed Windows 2008 R2 Server with the Hyper-V Role. I then downloaded the time-limited
Windows 8.1 RTM Evaluation Version and successfully installed. It works flawlessly. Next, I installed the
Windows Phone SDK Update 4 on top of
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.
It all works flawlessly, except for one little problem.
Since I am interested in evaluating and testing the Windows Phone SDK 1080p Emulator, I must run
F5 - Start Debugging in Visual Studio in order to see my Windows Phone application in 1080p resolution. Well, the Emulator
almost completely starts up successfully, but at the last push it gives an error. This error is shown below as a JPEG.
Does anyone know which of the "Hyper-V components is not running?"
