Windows Server 2008

I installed Windows Server 2008 on Boot Camp and then inserted the Mac OSX Leopard installation dvd and installed the drivers that were on the disk. So far I have encountered these three main problems.
1). No audio or system sounds work through my speakers.
2). I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly.
3). I cannot install the aero theme in "Window Color and Appearance"
I noticed that if I go to Star>Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center>Connect to a network>Set up a connection or network>Connect to the Internet> The only option to connect is Broadband (PPPoE). If you are thinking that it is because I don't have the feature enabled in the Server Manager I have already installed:
.Net Framework 3.0 Features
.Net Framework 3.0
XPS Viewer
Desktop Experience
Quality Windows Audio Video Experience
Wireless LAN Service
If you are thinking that because of the name Wireless "LAN" Service that it is not a internet connection but instead just a LAN connection then you might be right but there are no other Features in the Server Manager that have to do with wireless.
The weird thing about this problem is that I installed Windows Server 2008 on my friends computer last night (2.4 GHz Black MacBook) and Every thing worked (including audio, wireless, and the aero theme).
If anyone has an suggestions or solutions please post them or if anyone has a suggestions of a place to call or post my questions that would also help. I am not sure if Apple Care will support this problem so I am hesitant to call / take it into the store... Thanks!

I just solved my problem with the aero theme not working in Server 2008. The problem was that the Leopard dvd that I used to get the drivers from (which included a 3d driver for my NVIDIA graphics card) was from my other iMac (2.4GHz older version still aluminum though). This dvd did not include the drivers for my new iMac so I have to.
1). Download the drivers from NVIDIA.
2). Insert the Leopard installation dvd that came with the new iMac and hopefully all my problems will be solved due to using the right drivers.
I am restarting now to install appropriate drivers and will keep you posted on my problem.

Installation problem on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter edition 64bit

hi
today, i tried to install the current maxdb 7.8 release on my virtual server with a windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition os. at the first installation, i got an error message something with "rte runtime error". at this point, the installation stopped.
because of this error, i tried to uninstall the failed installation. this was not possible, in the uninstaller, i didn't see any components, so i can't uninstall.
so i tried to delete the files manually: the entries in the start menu, and the application's path under "program files"... first, i need to kill a process named "serv.exe", that creates a tcp daemon under port 7200... after killing it, the deletion of the dir in program files was successful.
this is very very weird, now my server is "contaminated" with an uncomplete uninstallation of maxdb...
why maxdb 7.8 has problems on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition???
thanks for feedbacks!
regards, jan

> no, because i canceled this virtual server - another method to solve this problem. (i have really no time for things like that..!)
If you take the time to give exact error messages then someone will be certainly able to help
> on windows server 2003, there are NO problems.
Windows 2003 != Windows 2008 - they use a different kernel, a different security system (UAC) and other features that may prevent a succesfull installation in the first place.
I installed a MaxDB 7.8 just today on Windows 2008 R2 and it worked fine.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Error While Creating Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT Virtual Machine

I am facing an error while creating a Virtual Machine on the Cloud. The Error is below:
Error (610)
Virtual Machine Manager was unable to find a value for the required Sysprep parameter ProductKey.
Recommended Action
Add the missing Sysprep parameter either to the answer file or to the operating system configuration, and then try the operation again.
My Template does not have the Product Key defined. The OS is Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT. Is defining Product Key absolutely necessary? I have other Templates for other Operating Systems and they are working fine. Only facing problem
with this.
Any help would be appreciated.

In the SCVMM world a 'template' is composed of the following: a VHD with an OS that has been generalized (sysprep), virtual hardware profile (settings), and an OS profile.
The OS profile is required to have a product key. A MAC activation key at the minimum. But the key is required.
If you deploy a VM from a VHD, the same customization assumptions are not at play. Which is why it succeeds. (there is no template in this case, there is also no requirement that the OS in the VHD be sysprep'd).
SCVMM has rules. And lots of things don't make sense until you begin to understand them and play within them. (I am not saying that the SCVMM rules are a good thing, just saying they exist)

How to install Windows Server 2008 (dualboot) on a PC with Windows 8.1 already on it?

Hi, I bought a new PC with preinstalled Windows 8. Now I need to install Windows Server 2008. Anyone can advise me how to
do it? It has to be in dual boot, in Virtual Machine the display is way too small

You should check out the Boot-to-VHD capability.
Here is how we do it in a lab environment which we got from a Microsoft lab:
-Verify your computer is running Windows 7 or later.
-Verify you have full administrator rights to your currently installed operating system.
-Verify hard disk encryption or other pre-boot security is turned off.
-Confirm that hardware virtualization technology and memory protection are both enabled in your computer's BIOS setup.
Now we just setup the a VHD with an operating system on it (can even use a downloaded server 180 day trial VHD if you are in a rush). Then go to Disk Management and select Attach VHD and point to the file. Note the drive letter that is assigned to the
mounted VHD.
Run a command prompt as administrator and type: " bcdedit /export BCDBackup.bak " to create an exported backup of your boot loader configuration. Now type bcdboot [drive]:\windows.
Now to test your dual-boot configuration, restart your computer and select the new OS boot option.
An optional last step would be when complete to restore your boot loader by running "bcdedit /import BCDBackup.bak" and delete any VHD files.
A more detailed guide written for Windows 7 but still applies for Windows 8 can be found at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/windows-7-boot-from-vhd.aspx
Hope that helps.

How to install IE8 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter?

Hello.
Can anybody tell me, how to install IE8 on 2008 R2 Datacenter?
I've downloaded this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx for "Windows Server 2008 64-bit and more..", removed IE11, IE10, IE9 from installed updates, and runned "dism /online /disable-feature
/featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64".
And nothing helps. I've got a message "Internet Explorer 8 is not supported on this operating system".

you can't "install" IE8 on WS2008R2, nor on Windows7 - because those OS's shipped with IE8.
IE is an OS component, and so when you "upgrade" or "downgrade" IE, you are affecting an OS component.
What this means is that the "IE8" download you are trying to apply, is actually IE8 for WinXP or maybe WinVista.
You can usually "downgrade" Win7 back to IE8, by uninstalling the newer "upgrade" of IE - this causes the OS to automatically attempt to revert to the prior IE version.
This reversion assumes/requires a healthy OS and component store (CBS), including all the pkgmgr file needed to revert to component.
Sometimes, the component store is damaged, or is missing files.
you may need to check the CBS logfiles, and may need to perform SFC /scannow
You may need to use CheckSUR to repair system health.

OS Error in starting the OCFS Service on windows server 2008

Hi,
Installing the Oracle 11g R1 CRS on windows server 2008 operating system . It is displaying the folllowing error message
ERROR : OS in Error in starting the OCFS Service
Can any one please tell what could be the issue ..
Thank You

Solved this after some trawling through xml configuration files on the server.
The file C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\owb\j2ee\config\http-web-site.xml contains the reference to keystore.jks:
<ssl-config keystore="*%ORACLE_HOME%*/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="->keystoreadmin"/>
changing this to:
<ssl-config keystore="C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="->keystoreadmin"/>
and the OC4J container starts successfully.

Please help As i am running out of time as i have to upgrade TFS for that first step is to install SQL server.

Hello,
The following are a few things you can try:
Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
Hope this helps.

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 )

Autologin on Windows Server 2008 R2 - local Administrator problem

I needed an user to autologin on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server.
Configured it following this guide: http://www.danj.co.uk/2011/06/enable-autologon-for-windows-2008-r2.html
In addition I added the login information by using the Autologon tool from sysinternals: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963905.aspx
Now the user I configured autologins successfully. The only downside is that now you can login with the local Administrator account by just hitting enter, as it now doesn't check the password and instead has a blank one. I think this comes from the User
accounts screen where I unticked the checkbox and also the Administrator account is listed. When trying to remove the local Administrator it tells me that it will delete the account. I don't want that.
How do I keep autologin of the user I configured but also have the local Administrator account check his password?

64 bit Weblogic Server 10.3.2 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 ?

Hi,
I'm trying to install 64 bit version of Weblogic Server 10.3.2 on my 64 bit OS Windows Server 2008 R2 SP2.
Firstly I downloaded "jdk-6u24-windows-x64.exe" and installed it on my 64 bit platform.
I downloaded "wls1032_generic.jar" and try to install it by the command below
"java -d64 -jar wls1032_generic.jar"
however I got the message below
Unrecognized option: -d64
Couldn't create the Java virtual machine
Any options about this problem. Where am I making mistake?

Hi,
You need to make sure the following things :
1). If you want to run your WLS on W 64 bit mode then You need to use Generic Jar installer Example: *"java -jar wls1032_generic.jar"*
2). The above Jar should be installed only using a 64 Bit JVM so that all the 64 bit libraries will be available with the WebLogic while installing it. So first of all Download a 64 Bit JVM in your Woindows box.
Then just run the following command to check if the JVM is 6t4 bit or not:
set JAVA=HOME=C:\My64BitJDK\jdk1.6.0_21
*$JAVA_HOME\bin\java -version*
3). Now u can run your WebLogic Installer like following:
*$JAVA_HOME\bin\java -jar wls1032_generic.jar*

Is it Possible to install ODDC 32 bit on Windows Server 2008 R2(64bit)?

Hi All,
Is it Support to Install ODDC 32 bit on Windows Server 2008 R2(64 bit).
I am Posting this bcoz I did not found any ODDC related Blogs.
Please help on this
Thanks,
Raj

The certification matrix ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/content/odc-cert-matrix-214688.pdf ) does not mention OS for ODDC Server, but as ODC is certified for Win Server 2008, R2, 32 or 64 bit, I believe the answer is yes.
Make sure, however, that you ODDC clients run on a different OS (see Exceptions).

ACS any Version with Domain Controller on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
