This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Thank you for your help with this but I was able to get it resolved using these steps.
Here is the fix that worked for me.
Start > Run > regedit
Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\RPC\INTERNET
Export this key to back it up first, then delete the whole Internet key (and it's sub-keys).
Reboot your system
Task Scheduler should now work.

Windows Server 2008 R2 dynamic assigned ports for currently logged in users

Hi,
How can I find out currently allocated dynamic ports for a user in windows server 2008?
From registry, I can see the dynamic port range for an application (1025~49151) and system dynamic port range is 49152~65534.
However, I am looking for the dynamic port range for users currently logged into the server.
Please assist.
Thanks,
Suranjit

If you want to list all ports the server is currently listening on as well as the processes using them, netstat can help you with that.
netstat -aon | find /i "listening"
Where the -o will give you the Process ID, which can be matched up with the username.

Do we need CALS for windows server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 if 2008 R2 is just a stepping stone?

We currently have a server on Windows Server 2008 RC SP2 64-bit with approximately 20 clients.
We want to upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 but first need to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 to allow us to do a straight upgrade.
Is it possible to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 with the 5 CAL's included and then upgradeto 2012 R2 and install 20 new CAL's and keep all users accounts and domain PC's the same?

Ok sorry for using the wrong terminology... I was under the impression for each client (Computer) connecting to the server we will need a CAL (Client Activation License) in order for the computer to be a domain PC on the server. Do I need 20 CALS's
for Windows Server 2008 R2 and then another for Windows Server 2012 R2 if we are only upgrading to 2008 R2 to be able to upgrade to 2012 R2 without having to do a clean install.
For WindowsServer (Standard edition or Enterprise edition or DataCenter edition), a Client Access License (CAL) is required for each device (if you're using the per-Device CAL licensing method), or, is required for each user (if you're using the per-User
CAL licensing method).
(whether you use per-Device, or per-User, is up to you, it comes down to cost).
CALs are version-specific (to a point) - i.e. if you purchased WS2008 CALs for your 20 devices, for use with your WS2008 server, and you are now upgrading that server to WS2012, you need to upgrade your CALs.
If you are adding a second server which is WS2012, and you are keeping your WS2008 server, you need to upgrade your CALs (because you only purchased WS2008 CALs which don't grant you the rights to connect to the newer server).
If you were to install your second server as WS2008, you wouldn't need to purchase additional CALs, because as long as the version is the same, a single CAL grant you access to unlimited server (of the same version).
CALs can be tricky to correctly license.
Here's some introductory reading:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx#tab=1
And, none of this relates to the technical aspects of product installation/configuration at all (e.g. clean install vs. upgrade).
Windows Server CALs are not license keys/tokens/files which you install/load/download - Windows Server CALs are quite literally paper-based (just like a drivers license or car registration). You are required to have them, to be correctly licensed, but, you
don't physically do anything with them to own/drive a car.

Windows Server 2008 R2 problem

Hi there
I'm a newbie to Flash media server and I would like to explore its usage.
Does any one have experience with Flash Media Server 3.5.3 running on Windows Server 2008 R2? I installed FMS on my Windows Server 2008 R2, but the admin console cannot start.
By the way, I installed FMS on a Windows Server 2003 32-bit machine. And I'm able to use the admin console on Server 2003 to connect to the Server 2008 R2 installation.
Also, I have a separate disk that is used to hold the media content to be streamed via FMS. How can I configure FMS to use that disk as root for media file instead of using "c:\program files (x86)\...\webroot\vod"
Thanks very much in helping me to start the project.
Best Regards
Steve Yau

ForThanks very much for your prompt response.
For (1), if I start "Flash Media Administration Console" from the Start menu, an IE prompts up and it tries to open "c:\program files(x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\tools\fms_adminConsole.htm" with the following in the information bar:
"An add-on for this website failed to run. Check the security settings in Internet Options for potential conflicts"
I thought it was the problem of flash player that cannot be run on 64-bit IE, so i tried 32-bit IE, but still in vain. I also tried to install flash player using 32-bit IE on Windows server 2008 R2 but the installation cannot start.
The FMSAdmin service is surely running with firewall configured. I've also installed FMS on another Windows Server 2003 32-bit. There I can start the admin console and connect to the Windows Server 2008 R2 FMSAdmin service.
For (2), I've added the line as per your kind help. But my question will be: How can I test whether my FMS is correctly streaming the video? For Windows Media Service, I can easily open URL in WMP and the streaming can be verified easily. But I don't know how to test FMS setup from web client side. Any clues? For your information, I don't have Adobe Flash or Dreamweaver stuff.
Thanks again for your kind help
Regards

Windows Server 2008 r2 install error gpt partition style

Good morning I am trying to install Window Server 2008 r2 (trail) on my Dell inspiron 15 and also keep Windows 8 when I set up a partition of 50G and go thru the install it tells me The selected Disk is of the GPT partition style. How do I fix this
issue.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
Since we are still discussing the same problem, so I merged them.
I want to confirm some information. Is your computer boot in BIOS mode or UEFI mode? Open computer management->Disk management->Properties->Volumes.
Is your current partition type GPT or MBR?
For now,
starting with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, all versions of Windows Server can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions
on Itanium-based systems. For windows 7, windows VISTA and window server 2008, Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions on UEFI-based systems.
So, the solution is either to change the boot mode or convert your disk. Remind, if you want to convert your disk, data on it should be cleared.
Hope this helps.

HOW TO INSTALL ODI 11g / OWB 11g IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 (64 BITS)

Hi everybody,
I have a serious problem.
Last week we buy a new server with Windows Server 2008 Std. R2 x64, for a new project. I tried to install the RDBMS Oracle 11g R2 (x64) without problems, but when i try execute the "Design Center" contents in OWB, show me the error: 0xc0000018
Then, I´m thinking in install Oracle Data Integrator to solution it, but i`ve read that neither can install on 64 bits system... This is true?
Somebdoy knows how can I install OWB 11g / ODI 11g in a Windows 2008 Server 64 bits?
Thanks & Regards!

OWB 11G Will have been installed with the database, it now ships with 11G.
Check you are on a supported platform for design centre using the certification matrix.

BOE XI R2 on Windows Server 2008 64 Bit Machine

Hi,
We are trying to install BOE XI R2 on Windows Server 2008 64 Bit Machine.
For some reason when the install finishes we dont get all the Program Icons (Like .Net Admin Launchpad).
Are there any different steps that we have to take to get a successful installation? Will XI 3.1 take care of this?
Thank you

Hi Charlie,
64 bit it supported on XI R2 but Windows Server 2008 is not . Have a look at this Supported Platforms document:

Deleting print drivers on Windows Server 2008 R2 without Print Role

Hi,
I'm using Windows Server 2008 R2 with Citrix Xenapp for published desktops meaning that i need to add a number of different printers to the server for the various users. Unfortunately i have some printer drivers that i think are conflicting and want to remove
these from the server.
How can i do this without adding the Print and Document Services role? Without this role i don't believe i can access 'Print Management' in the same way that i would with a Windows 7 client and then remove the driver package.
Is there another way that i can do this or should i be adding this role just to remove these drivers and then perhaps removing the role (if necessary), assuming that this is possible?
Thanks for any help.

add the tools for print management
in elevated cmd window
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Printing-AdminTools-Collection
If you already have local shared prints on the server, add the role. Adding the Role installs the tools and opens the File and print sharing firewall port which would have been achieved by adding a shared printer. You do not need to add the Print
role to setup a machine as a print server, it's not a requirement.

Windows Server 2008 R2 as a resources

Hello All,
Has anyone successfully used Server 2008 R2 as an IdM managed resource?
Thanks for all replies.

Hi There !!!
I want to use Windows server 2008 R2 as a router for a lab setup. I have a DC, Exchange and some other machines. I want to use member server to use as a router. I have installed the routing and remote access role. I have also enabled it.
I am able to ping internal ips and external ips from the router ( Windows sErver 2008 r2 machine). The problem is that i am not able to ping other subnet from internal PCs ( ANY Of them).
Regards,
Mohammed.
But how did you configure it? You should be able to see other subnets if you configured it as a NAT router (but they will not be able to see your new subnet). If you configured it as a LAN router, you will only be able to contact other subnets if
you have set up the necessary routing so that they know how to reach your new subnet.
(Hint - what is the default gateway of the other subnets?)

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

Windows Server 2008 sp2 Task Scheduler missing next run time after restart

Hi,
I have the issue that there does not appear to be a fix for with a server 2008 sp2 (NOT R2) where after a restart all tasks are missing the next run time so I need to edit each task to add this time back in. I have tried the hotfix in KB 950035
but this when you run it is only for Vista and cannot be installed despite saying it's also for Server 2008.
For some reason also this is Task Scheduler version 1 not 2 which I thought came with windows since Vista so SP2 should have it.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Evans,
Would you please let us know current situation of this issue?
As Dave mentioned, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 include all the previously released updates for Windows
Server 2008.
Based on your description, I understand that all scheduled tasks still miss the next run time on your Windows
Server SP2 when the server restart. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please open Properties of one problematic scheduled task, navigate to History tab, then
check if find some relevant events or errors. Those may help us to go further analyze.
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Hi Zeeshan,
I have found a hotfix against the same error messages, though it applies to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, I am not sure if it will work on your machine.
