Windows Server 2008 r2 as Windows XP Pro 2.0 (Issue: 1)

Windows Server 2008 r2 as Windows XP Pro 2.0 (Issue: 1)
Flabbergasted at the sheer level of idiocy required to use Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 8.1 Pro I remain a stead fast winXPro user to this day (mid-2014) and beyond. My i3-3225 XP machine turns 2000+ Passmark system scores and excels at everything the
way we all use to, before Microsoft's policy of operating systems built for idiots, by idiots came to pass. Then as a sheer act of desperation I tried Server 2008 r2... is it the OS I have dreamed of? Short of an XP Theme conversion kit I have questions...
Problem 1) Windows Explorer: In the folder directory left pane... the little [+] box next to the folder names flash on and off each time I use the right window pane. Can I by any and all means make them not do this, remain visible, sit still; like XP used
to do?
Problem 2) Start Menu: This popup is a double wide window pane, two columns of annoyance. Can I reduce this to a single wide by removing the right pane entirely by any and all means. I have removed every button from the right pane, but it still exists, it still
has a default picture user icon and says Administrator.
Problem 3) If specific programs/drivers are unavailable for this OS 2008 r2, I presume win 7 x64 by default work.
Problem 4) Passmark benchmarking software tested my system, with windows 8.1 I had a processor score of 9,400, but server 2008 r2 put out only 8,100 in repetitive tests. Why the slowdown? I only use this as an XP like os, no actual server stuff, should i disable
something?

Windows Server is not intended to replace Windows XP. i would advice to try Windows 7 or 8 instead.
1) I cannot picture what you mean. ther is a setting to define wheter the left pane should follow if you browse in the right one. Tools- folder options- general 'navigation pane'
2)Windows vista/2008 is the last version that had a (optional) single pane start menu. if you don't like the current one, ther is third party software available to replace the start menu
3) yes, these will be ok
4) 2008 R2 is a server OS and is out-of-the bow not optimized for foreground applications. Windows 8.1 on the other hand is a newer and more performant OS optimized for client usage. in both cases a lot of performance gain is to be expected by selecting
the right drivers, disabling or unisntalling unneeded software and windows features, disabling unneeded services. I would recommend to (a least) go to computer properties -advanced settigns- advanced and set 'adjust for best perfomance of" to programs (instead
of background services)

  • Essential event viewer bugs with "Forwarded Events" log in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7

    To my general experience, Windows event viewer is one of the most problematic, faulty management tools in the case of extensive use of its more sophisticated capabilities. The sole description as well as reproduction of some entangled failures would require
    remarkable effort.
    With the "Forwarded Events" log however, the situation becomes particularly worse in that even simple functionality fails and workarounds are difficult to find. That’s what I’ll describe here in order to share my experience with interested users.
    For precision: I’ve extensively used event viewer on a German Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows SBS 2011 Standard SP1). The bugs I found on that system, I could reproduce on a German Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit SP1, too.
    Problem 1: Failure of even simple event filtering
    To reproduce this problem, execute these steps on a test machine with any of the two OS mentioned above:
    (i) To prepare log contents, do either of the following:
    (a) populate some events to your local "Forwarded Events" log (most simply by subscribing events from other logs of the same machine; stop subscription if you have collected some events)
    Or
    (b) copy a non-empty log file "ForwardedEvents.evtx" from another machine (with any of the two OS mentioned above) to your test machine and open the file in event viewer.
    (ii) Navigate to your "Forwarded Events" test log and open the filtering dialog. In the "Includes/Excludes Event IDs" field, type: 1-9000. Click OK.
    (iii) Look at the results pane: Surprise, 0 Events! Do you really have no event IDs between 1 and 9000 in your test log?
    (iv) Another example, if you have forwarded security events in your test log: Clear filter, if any previous filter is in place. Open the filtering dialog. In "Keywords" sub-dialog, choose "Audit Success". Click OK.
    (v) Look at the results pane: Surprise, 0 Events! Do you really have no successful security monitoring events in your test log?
    I’ll finish here. If you have a rich variety of events in your test log available, let your imagination run wild to test around. Finally include some simple manually created or modified XPath filters on the XML tab of the filtering dialog. I promise, you’ll
    find a lot of additional strange results.
    Problem 2: Cannot save manually selected events to .evtx file
    Navigate to your "Forwarded Events" test log. In the results pane, select one or more events by highlighting them by mouse clicks. In context menu, choose "Save selected events". In the "save as" dialog, choose file type *.evtx
    and save your file. Open the newly created file in event viewer. Result: Surprise, no events inside the new file!
    Have more fun with forwarded events
    Helmut

    Did you mean that right click Forwarded Event and select "Filter Current Log..."? Since I can filter correct event vai the "Filter Current Log..." in my Lab environment.
    Hi Justin,
    yes, I mean "Filter Current Log ... " (in my German systems: "Aktuelles Protokoll filtern ... ").
    What do you mean with "my Lab environment" exactly?
    In the meantime, I performed additional tests. I copied the "ForwardedEvents.evtx" test file from Server 2008 R2 resp. Windows 7 to
    (i) German Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit RTM
    (ii) German Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit, up-to-date
    in order to view and filter the file there.
    Results: Same event viewer problem on Windows 8 RTM, but correct behavior on Windows 8.1!
    Best regards, Helmut

  • How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 Foundation to Windows Server 2008 Standard

    I have a Dell server with Windows Server 2008 Foundation installed. I am now on a larger network which has their own servers for authentication and the Windows Server 2008 Foundation will not let join a domain with more than 15 users. I was told that I needed
    to upgrade Windows server 2008 foundation to Windows server 2008 Standard and that process can be done "in place" but I can't find how do do it. I called Dell and they said they basically said they didn't know what I was talking about.
    How do I  do this?

    According to the first one you can perform an in-place upgrade.

  • Can i install windows server 2008 r2 under Windows Small Business Server - Premium

    I have purchased Windows Small Business Server 2008 - Premium and i want to know if i can install Windows Server 2008 R2 and activate the same under the same license.
    Also if there is a link to download the ISO file of the server.

    hello,
    with the SBS 2008 premium Edition you have the Windows Server 2008 Standard but NOT the 2008 R2 Version.
    for installing the second Windows Server 2008 includes on the Premium Edition you do not Need to download a Iso file.
    on this link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794696(v=ws.10).aspx is mentioned the following:
    To install Windows SBS 2008 Premium, do the following:
    Install Windows SBS 2008 Standard.
    For installation instructions about how to install Windows SBS 2008 Standard, see the
    Windows Small Business Server Installation Guide at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=125717.
    Install the second server by using Windows Server 2008, included with Windows SBS 2008 Premium, and then join it to the Windows SBS 2008 domain.
    For second server installation information, see

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 - Windows Update Errors...

    Hello,
    I've a windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 server that I've applied Windows updates to this evening. A large number were successful, however there are 13 that will not install and keep on failing. I've run sfc/scannow which found and repaired some
    errors - restarted server - no difference.
    Please see windowsupdate.log output below (apologies for the length). I've tried installing individual updates from the 13 but it makes no difference and the errors are just the same. It seems to be the same error for each update although unfortunately doesn't
    mean much to me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks gents.

  • SharePoint 2013 OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 vs Windows Server 2012 Standard

    Hi Team,
    We are thinking on upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SP 2013 soon. I have been researching about the server OS I should install as host, and it seems that SharePoint 2013 is fully compatible by now with both Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard + SP1 and
    Windows Server 2012 Standard. In my opinion we should go with server 2012, but Windows server 2008 is the norm here at our organization and our Infrastructure team seems reluctant to upgrade servers to 2012 yet.
    My question is, what SharePoint or Windows 2012 features will we miss if we decide to stay on Windows 2008?  What are the perks (selling points) of going with 2012 over 2008? (besides the obvious Microsoft support range extension).
    Thanks!
    -Rob.

    If you stay on Windows Server 2008 R2 you will enter the extended/out of support phase sooner, of course. You will miss out on IIS improvements, although in practical terms it may not mean much.
    There are extra patches required for a 2008 R2 deployment that are not needed on 2012 for SharePoint 2013. But other than that, I think the other big issue is that mostly in the community, you'll find people running Server 2012 which means issues are better
    'known' by the community, versus 2008 R2 in combination with SharePoint 2013.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 DNS Problem

    Hi,
    I have a DNS Server hosted in Windows Server 2008 R2 and our clients are using Windows 7. All are working fine then suddenly there are times that our client cannot access our internal site and cannot connect with our IM which is also hosted in the server.
    Tried to ping the server's IP but got this result: 
    Ping request could not find host .com. Please check the name and
     try again.
    NSLookup works fine. Tried to use the ip address instead of the domain name and it works. Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas
    regarding this?

    Hi,
    “Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas regarding
    this?”
    It seems is the client IP address conflict, it may cause by your DHCP Conflict Detection Attempts value setup is not appropriate. You can try to set Conflict Detection Attempts
    to a value other than 0.

    Since I'm not a license expert, for the OEM license issue, I would like to recommend you can connect the vendor.
    In addition, I found a similar discussion of upgrading with OEM licnese for your reference:
    Upgrade 2003(R2) OEM to 2008R2 -> Upgrade
    license or full retail license needed?
    Thanks for your understanding.

    Hello
    tip:
    1 check all old application, server /like old Linux samba, exch2003/ to support 2012 dc
    2 all firewall add same rule as old DC /if have domain trust open firewall./
    3 prompt to dc and gc the new server
    4 check DNS server /DNS forwarder if have/ and AD  logs
    5 run BPA for AD and DNS
    6 create gpo or startup script to add/change dns settings on client.
    sorry my english

  • Upgrade for Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi Guys,
    I am having an issue with upgrading one of our Servers. When I try to upgrade the Server it starts the process perfectly fine without any issues, it reboots and displays the Windows Server 2012 R2 Logo and then I get a black screen and it hangs. I waited
    around 5 hours today before rebooting the Server and letting it rollback the changes that setup had made.
    Original Server Setup
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
    Other Applications: MS SQL Server 2012 with SP2
    Removed Applications: Symantec Backup Agen
    Hardware: Virtual Server ESXi 5.0
    I have upgraded other servers without any issues but they haven't had SQL Server installed on them, so I am guessing that this is the issue but SQL Server 2012 sp2 is Supported by Windows Server 2012 R2. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Kind Regards,
    Thomas

    Hi All,
    Yes we are running ESXi 5 U 2 I am looking at how much of a pain this will be to build a new VM for this database server, as it contains our Citrix database which we have had issues with in the past. I might end up just leaving this server for the moment
    and move onto another server and hopefully not have any more issues.
    Thank you all for your suggestions to resolving this issue.
    Kind Regards,

  • Upgrade windows server 2008 x86 to windows server 2012

    Hello i am using windows server 2008 x86 as my primary domain controller,
    I want to install windows server 2012 R2 and make it additional Domain Controller and transfer the roles to make it primary Domain Controller.
    How do i upgrade the Schema as i am using windows server 2008 x86. and how do i transfer the roles.

    Hello,
    After successful installation of the Windows 2012R2 OS, go to the server manager and Install the Active Directory Server Role: In server manager go to manage-> add roles and features wizard -> skip welcome -> Select Role-based or Feature based installation
    -> Select your local server -> Select Active Directory Domain Services (including management tools) -> go throughout the wizard and press finish. Note, that schema upgrade would take care by itself.
    After the Role installation you have to promote the server as an additional DC to an existing domain: On the flag on top of the server manager's console, there should be 1 notification. Press the flag and select the "Promote this server to a domain controller"
    link. Choose the option to add a domain controller to an existing domain and go through the wizard.
    After successful completion (including restart) open command prompt as admin and type ntdsutil.exe -> ntdsutil prompt opens -> type Roles -> type connections -> type connect to server <your new Win12 server name> -> type quit to go to
    FMSO maintenance prompt -> type transfer infrastructure master (confirm transfer) -> type transfer naming master (confirm transfer) -> type transfer PDC (confirm transfer) -> type transfer RID master (confirm transfer) -> type
    transfer schema master (confirm transfer).
    To verify transfer: type select operation target -> type list roles for connected server
    Exit ntdsutil.exe (ctrl+C) and confirm configuration status by checking the event viewer and by running dcdiag.exe in command prompt.

  • Windows Server 2008 not booting (\windows\system32\winload.exe - Status: 0xc000000e)

    i have a Hp Server with two HDDs configured RAID 1 and installed Win Server 2008, after a power failure it is not booting and showing start up error Status: 0xc000000e.
    tried all the methods showing on the same error page, when i am trying with CMD from Window DVD (repair option) i am getting only X:\ drive, it is not showing my C:\ and D:\. when i use Windows 7 DVD (just for troubleshoot) and select new install option,
    it is showing my C:\ and D:\ with my correct Disk Usage and Free space, (so, my Data and Windows is available)
    i saw lots of way to fix the issue, but without accessing to C:\ drive, how can i fix it? please anyone can help on this?

    Hi,
    0xC000000E, or STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE: the drive went unavailable, possibly a bad hard drive, disk array, and/or controller card.
    Please also contact your hardware vendor HP to check the health of your hard disks.
