Windows SBS Console Server 2011 repair, how to obtain disk 2

Hi,
My SBS 2011 Standard installation has gone haywire causing huge problems here - basically the SBS console is dead. After hours of research it seems I need a second disk for SBS to repair it.
My SBS installation as downloaded as part of our action pack subscription - it was one large (8GB) DVD image and there was no options to download a second disk (and there still isn't - I've checked).
Can someone please confirm how I can get hold of one? It seems ridiculous that a disk purely used for repairing installations isn't readily available. We're a Microsoft Partner and software reseller and I still can't get my hands on it?!
Thanks
Bob

If I do a repair the windows small business server 2011 standard repair console, will I loose the user's and computer's that are currently setup on the server ?

will I loose the user's and computer's that are currently setup on the server?

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand you want to repair SBS 2011 console (please refer to
the TechNet article:
Repair the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Console). However, worry about losing users and groups that be created by Windows SBS Console. As far as I know, those will not lose.
Since, when you create users and groups via SBS console, those are added to Activity Directory.
The SBS console is a GUI component, which makes it easy to configure and manage your Windows SBS 2011 Standard network. When you repair the SBS console, this component will be affected.
In view of your concerns, please back up before operation. It will help us to avoid some unexpected
issue.
Hope this helps.

How to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard

how to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard(OEM system Builder Pack)?

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no upgrade path for OEM licensing. In addition, only SBS 2008 Standard can upgrade to SBS 2011 Standard, and there is no path to so
that from SBS 2011 Essentials. I am sorry to say that you may need a migration instead of an upgrade.

OSX 10.9 compatibility with Windows Small Business Server 2011?

Hi
I'm hoping someone here may be able to help me as our external server guys have been particularly unhelpful!
I'm the only Mac on a Windows server, which has recently been upgraded (??) to Windows Small Business Server 2011. I've recenty upgraded the work iMac to 10.9, but ever since the server change, I'm having intermittent dificulties saving files. Often, I get and error saying the file cannot be saved as I don't have permission to access the folder - which then worryingly REMOVES the file I'm trying to overwrite WITHOUT WARNING.
If I'm using Photoshop save for web, I get errors when clicking 'Save' to say that it can't, but does save the file, plus a second with a gibberish file name.
Most worryingly though, is that now on two occasions caused the iMac to crash and shutdown immediately, which is not good at all. Once was moving a file to overwrite another in the Finder, the second (today) was saving from Illustrator.
I'd noticed weird things with our old 2003 server before the switch and when I was still on 10.6 - mainly that my iMac was slow when connected (Adobe apps etc opened in a flash when unconnected, but took minutes when plugged in), but now I'm on 10.9 and the new server installed, these saving issues have arisen. (I ended up wiping the Mac and completely reinstalling everything to cure that slowness issue - never did find out what it was!).
The server guys are adamant that this has nothing to do with the server, and is all linked to my iMac - personally I'm not so sure, but I'm asking here to see if anyone else has had issues? It seems like some kind of permission problem? Do I need any special network settings for it to play nicely with the Windows server? My internet, email all goes through it, and I use it to store my work, but I'm not linked to any other server software in any way.
If anyone may have any clues to help I'd be really grateful!
Many thanks!
Ben

Thanks for the response - this is why I'm asking though- I can't see anything on the iMac which would be causing this, and saving files to a folder on a server is a pretty basic fuction, and I can't risk the crashes. I don't see how the iMac connection would be causing this, or for the files to 'vanish' but if it is the iMac settings I'll need to find a fix. Every one else is okay, but I'm the only one using this software and filetypes. Surely the Windows software would have some kind of instructions for connecting Macs?
I was hoping someone may have experience and if any additional network settings might be needed. I will check with Apple support also to see if they have any info, but thought I may get a good response here.
What I meant by the "server guys" is that's it's an external company we pay to look after it - so I'd hoped they might have at least looked into it for me, but it's a brick wall "We don't support Macs" response... which is why I think it's unhelpful - even though they supplied the software knowing it needs to have multiplatform support...
It's really frustrating.
And I hope nobody does insist I use Windows... please... I'd have to leave....
EDIT - "We"?? - Do you work for them!?

ESSBASE 11.1.2, HFM software installation in Windows Small Biz Server 2011

Hi,
My company is trying to setup/install ESSBASE 11.1.X and HFM and Planning products in Windows Small Business Server 2011.
Is this OS is a supported platform for these products ? Can these softwares be installed in the Windows Small Biz server 2011 without any issues ?
Thanks
TP

If you're referring to 11.1.2.1 (emphasis on the .1) SBS 2011 integrates Windows 2008 R2 64bit Standard which is a supported platform for Hyperion so it should not have any issues and be fully supported: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/Windows-Small-Business-Server/editions.aspx
HFM 11.1.2 only supports Windows 2008 (not R2)

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Dashboard Problems

I'm having a problem on a Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Server. The Dashboard has stopped working correctly. The Dashboard loads fine but once it loads there is not data visible. Under the different tabs there are no User accounts listed,
Server Folders, Hard Drives, etc. When trying to add a new user we get the following error message:
"There was a problem adding the user account
Cannot create the user account. Please restart the Add a User Account Wizard, and then try again."
The next message is:
"There was a problem adding the user account.
The Add a User Account Wizard cannot communicate with the server storage system. If you continue to experience this problem, it may help to restart the server. If the problem persists, contact a computer support profssional, or visit the Microsoft Web site
at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=154454 and search for related information."
Any possible ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Migration of Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition to new hardware

Hi
I have a Windows SBS 2011 Standard Edition installation, of which, the windows component is very buggy. Everything on the server is working i.e. AD, Email. I am unable to shutdown the server gracefully, i am unable to open the system manager.
Backups also are not running, so i don't have a proper backup that i can use.
I want to migrate my Windows SBS installation to some standby equipment which i have, then reinstall the old server with Windows SBS 2011 and migrate back from the standby equipment to the original hardware.
I know this is possible, and i know that Windows SBS 2011 gives a 21 days grace period to complete the migration.
Is the path i have mentioned above seems to be viable for me to try and get back to my original hardware, with a fresh installation of Windows SBS, keeping AD and Microsoft Exchange intact.
Regards

Will not work as you have outlined it. The installation of a new server installs a new SID and you cannot add SBS to SBS domains. The only chance you have at this is to install a new non-SBS DC in the domain, export the mail assuming you are
using Exchange, move the shares to the new DC or some other system, pull out the SBS from the domain, move all the FSMO roles and have a stand alone Server Domain without SBS. Then, add SBS back to the domain in the documented manner.
I suggest you contact www.sbsmigration.com for a documented and supported method to accomplish this migration.

Problems in connecting to Windows SBS 2003 server from OSX 10.5.x

Hi there
Out of many Macs (all 10.5.4) in our network, I have been able to authenticate others to the Active Directory and share File services of the Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. But one is having problems. They have authenticated to the active directory correctly from Directory utility.
But when I try to access the SBS server, there is a message "Connecting to smb://myserver..." displayed for indefinite time. Also, I don't find the smb listed in Directory utility. Is that a problem? If so, how can it be fixed? I searched Internet but couldn't find a way to download smb client.
Please help.

It certainly works for me although I have 10.5.2. No special settings, just server address, username and password and it connects. To confirm I just tried it once more a moment ago by creating a new VPN configuration. No problems at all. Is your problem related to a single computer or is it so that now 10.5 computers can connect?

Windows 2012 storage server and tier with external SSD disks

Hi
My query is in case I have one SAN storage with SSD and FC disks connected to Windows 2012 storage server, will Windows be able to manage Tier between two types of disks if the volumes are properly assigned and formated?

Hi

Short answer: No, not automatically. Long answer: Yes, it can be done but with some tricks. First you'll have to make your SAN export LUs built from flash and from spindles. At least one of each (see URL below). Then you'll have to build storage spaces (even
clustered but that's not officially supported for non-SAS disks) from them.
See:
Configure Tiering with Windows Server 2012 R2
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/10/21/storage-spaces-how-to-configure-storage-tiers-with-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Both LUs would have non-SSD type reported so you'll have manually assign types with PowerShell what's flash and what's spindle.
"Notice that the SSD devices were detected as SSD media. However, in this case the physical drives show as unknown.
If yours are not detected like in this example, they should be set correctly which can be done using PowerShell. "
Hope this helped :)

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials - Restore Whole RD Website On IIS

I Have Very Little Knowledge In IIS/IIS 7.5
Recently, I tried to add Spiceworks into my Small Business Server Website as a Sub Directory such as http://websitename.com/spiceworks
this did not work, but while doing this I have messed up the SBS Remote Web Access Site. I tried to remove and add the IIS Server Role in Server Manager, this gave no luck what so ever, I then tried to delete the Mac, Certificate and Default Web Site from
IIS MMC Snap-in and re-add them, they did not work and I'm not sure where they are located. I do not have Exchange OWA or Sharepoint installed, I only have Spiceworks running on it's own web server under port 9877 and all the Microsoft SBS Software from the
install.
I cannot not access any website including the Client Connect, Main Website and the Spiceworks website at all.
I don't really want to Format and Install SBS again as it was difficult to get it installed and I have about 1TB of data what would have to be moved else where. Is there any way on how I can restore the whole website back to a fresh install state?
And sorry, Backup Drive has failed so no backups currently.
Thanks In Advance, If You need any more infomation or an email address, I am happy to help.

You have Exchange and Sharepoint installed on SBS Essentials?
If you have SBS Standard there is an easy repair.
Can you confirm which OS you have?

sorry for the late reply and No i do not have exchange or sharepoint installed and I have SBS Essentials 2011.
