Windows server 2012 r2 - 0.15GHz cpu usage

After a fresh install of windows server 2012 r2 standard, the server was fast.
After installing SQL 2012, I notice the cpu in task manager says 3% of 0.15Ghz for usage.
Why is it saying 0.15Ghz and it is always around 0.15Ghz - 0.17Ghz?
The CPU is Intel E5-2430v2 2.50Ghz.
Thanks

Who is the motherboard manufacturer? Is it a supported vendor for Windows Server (windowsservercatalog.com)? Do you have the latest BIOS/firmware from the manufacturer installed?

Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces Simple RAID 0 VERY SLOW reads, but fast writes with LSI 9207-8e SAS JBOD HBA Controller

Has anyone else seen Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces with a Simple RAID 0 (also happens with Mirrored RAID 1 and Parity RAID 5) virtual disk exhibiting extremely slow read speed of 5Mb/sec, yet write performance is normal at 650Mb/sec in RAID 0?
Windows Server 2012 Standard
Intel i7 CPU and Motherboard
LSI 9207-8e 6Gb SAS JBOD Controller with latest firmware/BIOS and Windows driver.
(4) Hitachi 4TB 6Gb SATA Enterprise Hard Disk Drives HUS724040ALE640
(4) Hitachi 4TB 6Gb SATA Desktop Hard Disk Drives HDS724040ALE640
Hitachi drives are directly connected to LSI 9207-8e using a 2-meter SAS SFF-8088 to eSATA cable to six-inch eSATA/SATA adapter.
The Enterprise drives are on LSI's compatibility list. The Desktop drives are not, but regardless, both drive models are affected by the problem.
Interestingly, this entire configuration but with two SIIG eSATA 2-Port adapters instead of the LSI 9207-8e, works perfectly with both reads and writes at 670Mb/sec.
I thought SAS was going to be a sure bet for expanding beyond the capacity of port limited eSATA adapters, but after a week of frustration and spending over $5,000.00 on drives, controllers and cabling, it's time to ask for help!
Any similar experiences or solutions?

1) Yes, being slow either on reads or on writes is a quite common situation for storage spaces. See references (with some of the solutions I hope):

and this one is my favorite putting a lot of light on the issue:

2) Issues with SATA-to-SAS hardware is also very common. See:

Microsoft Windows Server DNS Monitoring v7.1.10100.0 High CPU Usage on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello!
I've a big problem with this MP. When the zone monitoring is enabled (by default) the MonitoringHost.exe takes up all the CPU. I've put the zones in Maintenance mode.
I've got this problem only with a new Windows 2012 R2 server. Other Windows Servers (2003 R2, 2008 & 2008 R2) with DNS Server Role they don't have this problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
The configuration is:
SCOM 2012 R2
Microsoft Windows Server DNS Monitoring v7.1.10100.0 Management Pack
DNS Management Pack Action Account has been configured
"Act as proxy..." is enabled
The monitored server config:
Windows Server 2012 R2 (standalone)
DNS Server Role installed
DNS Management Pack Action Account is a member of the "Administrators" group

Hi
Looks like the AAA configuration is set for local
aaa authentication enable console LOCAL
aaa authentication http console LOCAL
aaa authentication serial console LOCAL
aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
aaa authentication telnet console LOCAL
Change it to Radius
aaa-server Keefa-Raduis protocol radius
aaa-server Keefa-Raduis (NAZCO) host 172.16.200.10
key *****
radius-common-pw *****
for example :
aaa authentication telnet console Keefa-Raduis LOCAL
Now when you will do telnet to using Radius credentials, Its Should work, If radius goes down you can use LOCAL username and password as fallback method.
Cheers!

Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V - iSCSI SAN - All Hyper-V Guests stops responding and extensive disk read/write

We have a problem with one of our deployments of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V with a 2 node cluster connected to a iSCSI SAN.
Our setup:
Hosts - Both run Windows Server 2012 Standard and are clustered.
HP ProLiant G7, 24 GB RAM, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to Virtual Machines and Management, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage. - This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM, 1 NIC dedicated to Virtual Machines and Management, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage. - This is the secondary host that and is intended to be used in case of failure of the primary host.
We have no antivirus on the hosts and the scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched of.
iSCSI SAN:
QNAP NAS TS-869 Pro, 8 INTEL SSDSA2CW160G3 160 GB i a RAID 5 with a Host Spare. 2 Teamed NIC.
Switch:
DLINK DGS-1210-16 - Both the network cards of the Hosts that are dedicated to the Storage and the Storage itself are connected to the same switch and nothing else is connected to this switch.
Virtual Machines:
3 Windows Server 2012 Standard - 1 DC, 1 FileServer, 1 Application Server.
1 Windows Server 2008 Standard Exchange Server.
All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
Updates
We have applied the most resent updates to the Hosts, WMs and iSCSI SAN about 3 weeks ago with no change in our problem and we continually update the setup.
Normal operation
Normally this setup works just fine and we see no real difference in speed in startup, file copy and processing speed in LoB applications of this setup compared to a single host with 2 10000 RPM Disks. Normal network speed is 10-200 Mbit, but occasionally
we see speeds up to 400 Mbit/s of combined read/write for instance during file repair
Our Problem
Our problem is that for some reason all of the VMs stops responding or responds very slowly and you can for instance not send CTRL-ALT-DEL to a VM in the Hyper-V console, or for instance start task manager when already logged in.
Symptoms (i.e. this happens, or does not happen, at the same time)
I we look at resource monitor on the host then we see that there is often an extensive read from a VHDX of one of the VMs (40-60 Mbyte/s) and a combined write speed to many files in \HarddiskVolume5\System Volume Information\{<someguid and no file extension>}.
See iamge below.
The combined network speed to the iSCSI SAN is about 500-600 Mbit/s.
When this happens it is usually during and after a VSS ShadowCopy backup, but has also happens during hours where no backup should be running (i.e. during daytime when the backup has finished hours ago according to the log files). There is however
not that extensive writes to the backup file that is created on an external hard drive and this does not seem to happen during all backups (we have manually checked a few times, but it is hard to say since this error does not seem leave any traces in event
viewer).
We cannot find any indication that the VMs themself detect any problem and we see no increase of errors (for example storage related errors) in the eventlog inside the VMs.
The QNAP uses about 50% processing Power on all cores.
We see no dropped packets on the switch.
(I have split the image to save horizontal space).
Unable to recreate the problem / find definitive trigger
We have not succeeded in recreating the problem manually by, for instance, running chkdsk or defrag in VM and Hosts, copy and remove large files to VMs, running CPU and Disk intensive operations inside a VM (for instance scan and repair a database file).
Questions
Why does all VMs stop responding and why is there such intensive Read/Writes to the iSCSI SAN?
Could it be anything in our setup that cannot handle all the read/write requests? For instance the iSCSI SAN, the hosts, etc?
What can we do about this? Should we use MultiPath IO instead of NIC teaming to the SAN, limit bandwith to the SAN, etc?

Hi,
> All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
If this is a testing environment, it’s okay, but if this a production environment, it’s not recommended. Fixed VHDs are recommended for production instead of dynamically expanding or differencing VHDs.
Hyper-V: Dynamic virtual hard disks are not recommended for virtual machines that run server workloads in a production environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx
> This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
According to your posting, we know that you have Cluster Shared Volumes in the Hyper-V cluster, but why not distribute your VMs into two Hyper-V hosts.
Use Cluster Shared Volumes in a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612868.aspx
> 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage.
Use Microsoft MultiPath IO (MPIO) to manage multiple paths to iSCSI storage. Microsoft does not support teaming on network adapters that are used to connect to iSCSI-based storage devices. (At least it’s not supported until Windows Server 2008 R2. Although
Windows Server 2012 has built-in network teaming feature, I don’t article which declare that Windows Server 2012 network teaming support iSCSI connection)
Understanding Requirements for Failover Clusters
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771404.aspx
> I have seen using MPIO suggests using different subnets, is this a requirement for using MPIO
> or is this just a way to make sure that you do not run out of IP adressess?
What I found is: if it is possible, isolate the iSCSI and data networks that reside on the same switch infrastructure through the use of VLANs and separate subnets. Redundant network paths from the server to the storage system via MPIO will maximize availability
and performance. Of course you can set these two NICs in separate subnets, but I don’t think it is necessary.
> Why should it be better to not have dedicated wireing for iSCSI and Management?
It is recommended that the iSCSI SAN network be separated (logically or physically) from the data network workloads. This ‘best practice’ network configuration optimizes performance and reliability.
Check that and modify cluster configuration, monitor it and give us feedback for further troubleshooting.

Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V network latencies

Hi All,
I have an issue with our Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hosts that I can't seem to figure out. Situation:
2 x Dell PowerEdge R815 servers with AMD opteron 6376 16 core CPU's and 128 GB RAM running Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V.
2 virtual machines running on the same physical host and connected to the same virtual switch show high TCP connection latencies. One virtual machines runs a SQL Server 2012 database instance and a Dynamics AX 2012 R2 instance. The other machine a
SharePoint 2013 instance and the AX client. We see latencies of 20ms and higher on most of the TCP connections that are made from the sharepoint machine to the sql server machine.
At first I thought it might have something to do with the physical NIC's. It turned out that VMQ wasn't correctly supported by the firmware of the Broadcom BCM5709c cards. By default this setting is enabled. Turning off the VMQ setting somewhat improved
the situation but the latencies are still at 8ms and higher.
What I don't understand is what influence enabling/disabling VMQ should have on network performance. As I understand it now virtual machines connected to the same virtual switch bypass the physical altogether. Another point is that VMQ should actually improve
performance, not decrease it.
Another question I have is about the various tcp offloading settings on the physical NIC's. After installing the new firmware and drivers from Dell most of these settings are set to disabled. The documents I have been able to find talk about Windows Server
2008, any thought how these settings relate to Windows Server 2012 and whether they should be enabled?
Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts
Kind regards,
Dennes Schuitema

Hi Denes,
Please try to update your BroadCom NIC driver version ,the newest version should be 7.8.51

0x8056530b error enabling disk deduplication on Windows Server 2012 R2 Volume - any ideas why or how to fix?

I'm getting the following error when trying to enable disk de-duplication on a volume on my Windows 2012 R2 file server. The error is:
"There was an error updating Data Deduplication on volume: MSFT_DedupVolume.Volume='\\?\Volume{8dfc4322-9997-11e3-93f5-005056a84b9b}\' - HRESULT 0x8056530b, The specified volume type is not supported. Deduplication is supported on fixed, write-enabled
NTFS data volumes and CSV backed by NTFS data volumes."
The volume in question is a 1TB VMFS volume mounted to the virtual machine that is the Windows file server. I could find no info anywhere that references this error as it relates to a standard mounted volume or VMware or VMFS.
Any ideas on what could be the problem or how to fix it? I could find nothing in the log files other than an entry which is basically a repeat of the error above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- ADEHART
P.S. This is a volume that was previously mounted on an older Windows 2003 server. Not sure if that may make a difference.

have you compared this issue to the ones that are successful and compared what is different?
Have you made sure of the following:
Servers
See the following list for server requirements for deduplication:
• Server hardware should meet the minimum requirements for running Windows Server 2012. The deduplication feature was designed to support minimal configurations such as a single processor system with 4 GB of RAM and one SATA hard disk drive.
• If you plan to support deduplication on multiple volumes on the same server, you need to plan an appropriately size for the system to ensure that it can process the data. The general rule is that the server needs 1 CPU-core and 350 MB of free memory to run a deduplication job on a single volume, and that job can process about 100 GB per hour or around 2 TB per day. Deduplication scales with additional CPU core processors and available memory to enable parallel processing of multiple volumes.
For example: If you have a server with 16 CPU core processors and 16 GB of memory, deduplication uses 25% of the system memory in the default Background Processing mode, and in this case, that would be 4 GB. If you divide by 350 MB, you can calculate that the server could process about 11 volumes at a time. If you add 8 GB of memory, the system could process 17 volumes at a time. If you set an optimization job to run in Throughput mode, the system will use up to 50% of the system’s memory for the optimization job.
• Data Deduplication supports up to 90 volumes at a time; however, deduplication can simultaneously process one volume per physical CPU core processor plus one. Hyper-threading does not impact this because only physical core processors can be used to process a volume. A system with 16 CPU core processors and 90 volumes will process 17 volumes at a time until all 90 volumes are done, if there is sufficient memory.
• Virtual server instances should follow the same guidance as physical hardware regarding server resources.
Volumes
Volumes that are candidates for deduplication must conform to the following requirements:
• Must not be a system or boot volume. Deduplication is not supported on operating system volumes.
• Can be partitioned as a master boot record (MBR) or a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and must be formatted using the NTFS file system.
• Can reside on shared storage, such as storage that uses a Fibre Channel or an SAS array, or when an iSCSI SAN and Windows Failover Clustering is fully supported.
• Do not rely on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs). You can access data if a deduplication-enabled volume is converted to a CSV, but you cannot continue to process files for deduplication.
• Do not rely on the Microsoft Resilient File System (ReFS).
• Can’t be larger than 64 TB in size.
• Must be exposed to the operating system as non-removable drives. Remotely-mapped drives are not supported.
Note
Files with extended attributes, encrypted files, files smaller than 32 KB, and reparse point files are not processed by deduplication.

Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 R2; system aborts and reboots after first blue Windows logo appears

System: Dell PowerEdge sc1420 with dual xeon and Adaptec 2420SA SATA RAID (supported by OS); 10 GB memory (2x4, rank 2, organization x4, in DIMM1 & DIMM2; 2x1, registered, organization x8, in DIMM3 & DIMM4)
This computer is currently running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise which was installed with no problems.
Objective: clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on an otherwise unused RAID array disk set.
All attempts to boot from DVD result in loading of files (grey progress bar on bottom of screen), brief dark screen, then black screen with a blue windows logo for about 2 seconds and then a flash of about 10 lines of error notifications on a black screen
for about 1/4 second (unreadable), and then a reboot of the computer.
Coreinfo.exe confirms that cpus DO support NX and PAE; do NOT support VMX (virtual machine enhancements).
Attempts to run memtest.exe from boot disk tool-menu startup result in an error message that the memtest.exe file is corrupt.
Running memtest.exe from Windows 2008 R2 install disk results in all memory tests passed!
Attempted booting with multiple DVD's (some +R, some -R, all verified) burned from .iso. These DVD's were used successfully to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on an HP Pavilion. Also changed DVD drives just to rule out DVD hardware.
Running CHKDSK from Windows 2012 R2 on HP Pavilion shows no problems; running CHKDSK from Windows 2008 R2 on the Dell system on the same disks shows some problems. Running checkdisk on the Windows 2008 R2 install disk from the Windows 2008 R2 installed
system shows no problems. All disks burned and verified on same system.
Also attempted to boot from USB thumbdrive with copy of DVD on it. Same results: system loads files then reboots at first Windows logo. So that would rule out disk quality issues per se??
Started to try an upgrade rather clean install to see if any errors were announced. None were announced as the system went through much of the process. I aborted somewhere along the way before committing to the upgrade because 1) the most likely
outcome was it would not boot after install (I don't really need the practice in restoring); and 2) even if it did reboot, having a system that can't be repaired by booting the install disk is pointless.
All disks and raid arrays are recognized and usable by RAID controller card and by Windows Server 2008 R2. Disks are within spec for use with Adaptec 2420SA (1TB @ 300).
Is VMX (aka VT-x) actaully required for ANY install even though Hyper-V is not intended to be used? If so, it is too bad that the Microsoft system requirements (
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303418.aspx ) don't make that clear. And lack of VMX support really doesn't explain the memtest.exe "corruption" issue.
Or is it maybe something unique about the files on 2012 R2 disk (or disk image on USB) that are causing some problem with the chipset processing? But why?
My vote would be for the latter of the issues, but I have no clue why or if it is remediable. Suggestions?

So here is what I think is the final understanding of this problem:
First, one additional piece of important information: The computer successfully moves into and through the Windows Boot Loader phase and succeeding phase ONLY for Windows 8.1 32-bit, but NOT for Windows 8.1 64-bit nor for Windows
Server 2012 R2 (only 64-bit).
The Windows Boot Manager phase (which precedes the Windows Boot Loader phase) is either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) and is loaded by the 16-bit stub program (Bootmgr) which starts in real mode.
Windows Boot Loader of course runs in either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) according to the product being installed.
By inference, the essential problem is occurring in conjunction with the loading of a WIM file to start the Windows Boot Manager.
The boot manager starts ok and generally shows its essential screens (Windows Boot Manager; Advanced Boot Options) or proceeds to load files for transition into Windows startup in the succeeding Windows Boot Loader phase (that doesn’t “boot” but rather
loads the system). This is best confirmed by the announced corruption of the memtest.exe file when selecting Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager Screen.
If allowed to continue loading files to pass control to the Windows Boot Manager, the type of abort and resulting immediate restart that occurs is that which you would associate with unhandled cpu exceptions (invalid instruction, memory out of range,
wild interrupt, etc.) that most of us have not commonly seen for 20 years (since beginning to use well behave OS’s from Windows NT 3.1 and on).
So, the problem obviously is due to a failure to properly mount the WIM file and/or properly access it (probably the latter) when running in 64-bit protected mode.
This is independent of the hardware on which the install disk is actually mounted (DVD or USB-flash), so it is NOT a hardware problem
per se.
Since the WIM is mounted early in the process, Boot Manager may well have loaded it using BIOS routines to access the physical device on which it resides rather than loading 32-bit or 64-bit drivers of its own.
Hence, if the BIOS does not “mount” the WIM in a way that is later fully compatible with access from the 64-bit systems being loaded, it could cause apparent file corruption.
If it is only partially incompatible some functionality may appear quite usable (like loading files) until later detected.
This is vague on my part, because the exact nature of the incompatibility cannot be readily determined from the information available.
But the consequence is the same: the system cannot boot from the install disk, either for initial installation or repairs.
Incidental conclusion: The 64-bit boot manager code for Windows Server 2008 does not exhibit this faulty behavior, but the 64-bit code for Windows Server 2012 does.
So the problem is not inherent with loading 64-bit server OS’s.
Expectations: If the system were to be upgraded using the features of the install disk while running an installed OS, say Windows Server 2008 R2, it might well succeed and yield a fully functional system upgraded to Windows Server 2012
R2 (because the installed operating system is started from discrete files, not from a WIM file).
However, in order to perform a disaster recovery using Windows resources (such as image backups from Windows Server Backup), one would have to presumably boot from a Windows Server 2012 64-bit install disk or Windows Server USB recovery drive.
Of course we know that the Windows Server install disk will not boot and we can be fairly sure that the problem will migrate to any Windows Server USB recovery drive that is created.
My inspection of a Windows 7 System Repair CD shows that is based exclusively on boot.wim, not discrete files!
Of course a generated image for a WIM for Windows 2012 USB recovery drive
might not have the flaw that drives this behavior, but it probably would.
Problem conclusion: A BIOS upgrade would be required for compatibility with Windows Server 2014 clean installation
and any maintenance; and none is available from the OEM.
Problem not resolved, but understood for future reference.
Thanks to Tim whose comments helped me focus my thinking.

Windows Server 2012 HyperV VMs becoming extremely sluggish and slow

I have recently set up a new system for a client consisting of a single Dell T320 server with Xeon E5-2350 2.2GHz 6 core cPU and 32GB of RAM. Windows Server 2012 Standard is installed on the bare metal, and runs only the HyperV role. It is not
joined to any domains.
It hosts two VMs, one a Windows Server 2012 Standard VM containing the RDS related roles acting as remote desktop server, with 10GB RAM allocated and 3 cores. Only 5 people use the terminal server concurrently.
The second VM is a Windows Server 2008 R2 based primary domain controller, with 16GB of RAM allocated and 3 cores. It runs the AD role, as well as Exchange and GFI MailEssentials 2012. Avira is also installed on this VM.
The problem is that the system will function properly for 3-4 days, then suddenly it goes into a state where a multitude of applications would start consuming inordinate amount of CPU time, and become very, very slow. Almost like the hypervisor goes
into a software emulation mode where everything runs like molasses. This affects BOTH VMs equally. For example, Exchange and GFI on the Windows 2008 R2 VM together consume about 25% CPU, most of it is spent in kernel CPU time. At the same
time, in the other Windows Server 2012 VM, svchost, Taskmgr, WMIPrvSE, LogonUI, Explorer, sqlservr, wsmprovhost etc. will all consume a total of about 70% CPU time, this time 99% of this is user time, not kernel time. When one user starts any application,
be that internet explorer, firefox or TaxPrep, the CPU spikes up to 100%.
All while nobody is using the system, the system is idle and no mails are flowing in or out of the system. A reboot of the VMs does not fix anything, even a reboot of the host server does not fix anything. When I yanked out the two power supplies
and performed a hardware diagnostic (which came back 100% OK), it booted up and the slowness was gone for 3 days, until today when it started acting up again like I described above.
One more thing, when the system behaves normally the sunspider javascript benchmark in IE10 takes 316ms to execute (average) on the HyperV host operating system. When the system goes slow like this, I pause the two VMs in HyperV then run sunspider
again, only to be greeted by an average time of 5084ms. So this clearly does not only affect the virtual machines but the host operating system as well. My gut still tells me the hypervisor is getting messed up somehow.
Any ideas? This is a major problem and I have no idea what is causing it.

We have had the EXACT same thing happen with a Dell T320 on two separate servers. The first one was running SQL Server 2008 with nothing else funny going on. It ran fine for a month or so, then it developed this slowness issue. We finally installed SQL on
a loaner box (without Hyper-V) and it worked fine. We brought the T320 back to our shop and tested the hell out of it with Dell's assistance and it was NTF. Took it back onsite and moved an SBS 2011 VM over to it. After a few days, it ground to a halt. CPU
utilization was 100%. I started shedding services, killing Exchange, Sharepoint, etc. Even stripped to the essentials, the CPU was still up in the 60-70% range.
I put a T310 out onsite and downed the guest SBS vm. I copied the HUGE vhd over to the T310 (running Server 2008r2 with the Hyper-V role) and it ran perfectly. CPU at about 2-4%, spiking to 15% occasionally.
We finally concocted a story that the USB controller was bad, so they replaced the motherboard (not the CPUs) and it all seems to be working OK now after we sunk at least 100 man-hours into the problem.
Our second one is a similar setup. T320, Server 2012, Hyper-V role, SBS 2011 Standard and a couple of member servers running basic apps. No one can find any problem and everyone acts like this is something new, although my posting comes one year after Tim's
original posting.

Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Block USB Storage devices @ User Level Not getting applied on a Domain Client machine with Windows Server 2008 R2. Why?

Hello,
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2.
I have configured the Group Policy on it to block the usage of USB - Storage Devices @ user level on the client machines. It works properly for my Windows 7 client machines but it's not working on one of the machine having Windows Server 2008 R2 installed
on it (this machine is also a domain client in the same domain).
I will really be thankful if anyone can suggest some solution to this issue.
Please feel free to write back in-case I have missed anything obvious to be shared.
Thanks!

From english evaluation to dutch full licensed? (Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials)

Hello,
I've installed and evaluated Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials English.
This server edition works like a charm for my smaller projects.
I've been testing this version and I'm at 'Windows License valid for 159 days'.
Now I would like te use this setup for one of my projects, so I would like to transform this evaluation version to a full version.
I bought a full license of Windows Server 2012 R2 ESSENTIALS 1-2 CPU Dutch.
What is the best way to transform my current setup (Evalution - English) completely to a full license Dutch?
- I can buy an english version of this full version, but witch one? (It must be the correct language, because I tried changing the productkey of my evaluation english to the full dutch one, without succes)
- Install from scratch the full version and load a backup of the evalution edition? (Already tried this, this ends up running the english evaluation again)
- Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much!

I think you would have to do a migration.
You should add another Domain Controller, transfer FSMO roles.
Remove the English Essentials Server, then install the Dutch one in Migration mode.
You can then remove that second DC.

Windows Server 2012 Licensing on VMWARE ESX

Hi,
As in the following example, 2 Host, 2 CPU each, 10 VMs = 10 Windows License?? is this true
Or each Windows 2012 License = 2x VMs, 5 x Windows 2012 Standart
= 10 VMs
2 Hosts, 2 CPUs each, 10 VMs
10 VMs with 2 hosts means that it is possible to have all 10 VMs on a single host. You have two options to license each host for up to 10 VOSEs.
Firstly you could license each of the hosts with 5 copies of Windows Server 2012 Standard. That will give you 10 (5 * 2) VOSEs. This requires 10 (5 * 2 hosts ) copies of Standard at a cost of $8,820 using USA Open NL.
Alternatively you could license each host with 1 copy of Windows Server 2012 Datacenter, at a cost of $9,618. The extra $798 will allow you to burst beyond 10 VOSEs to unlimited VOSEs. Switching to licensing hosts using the Datacenter edition
means we don’t have to count VOSEs and we have unrestricted mobility between hosts.

Hi Adem,
>>each Windows 2012 License = 2x VMs, 5 x Windows 2012 Standart
= 10 VMs
As Tim said , we recommend you to contact Microsoft Activation Center for an accurate assistance for lisence issue :

Installing Windows Server 2012 on W510

I realize this is not likely to be a common scenario, nor a supported one. I'm installing Windows Server 2012 (Evaluation edition) on a w510 to use as a learning lab. In case anyone else decides to head down this road I've documented what I've run into so far.
System: Thinkpad W510 43192NU
Upgrades: 16GB RAM, Crucial M4 256GB SSD.
The basic install happened quickly and easily, but as expected there are a couple of driver issues.
Installed Windows Server 2012 Standard 180-day EVAL from DVD (ISO obtained from Technet 10/15/2012)
Installed available Windows Updates (only 2 as of October 25, 2012)
Installed Lenovo nVidia discrete video driver for W510 Windows 8 64bit
(getting braver here)
Installed Thinkvantage System Update 5.0 for Windows 8 64bit
Ran System Update and it found 3 available items:
Intel Management Engine Interface 6.2 and Serial Over LAN (SOL) driver downloaded and installed
Audio Driver for Windows 8 32/864 <--SIC Downloaded and installed
ThinkVantage Active Protection System (64bit) <-- did not download / unsuccessful
At this point there are also 3 items still listed under "Other Items" in device manager:
Looked up device IDs in Properties, ran through driveridentifier.com:

Current Status: Unresolved. Installed Windows 8 Lenovo Power Management driver without errors but did not fix. Item still listed under "Other device"
At this point I have it where I need it to be. All I want to do is have a stable basic install so I can install Hyper-V and play around with a bunch of VMs. For that I don't really need Bluetooth or enhance power management.

Have you found a solution to the driver issues I mentioned?
I had no issue installing the Windows 7 x64 power management driver and Power Manager. Just keep in mind it is only for control of the CPU clock speed and a few other settings. With Hyper-V installed, you lose sleep/hibernate and resume.
Bluetooth won't work
I never had a use for multcard.
With Windows Server 2012 be happy you have networking and a video driver which are the core things you need. If you want a full on workstation, move to Windows 8 Pro and Hyper-V.

HP DL380 G5 Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V

Hello. I have a HP DL380 G5 server & a have a problem. OS installation proceeds normally, the installation takes the role well, but the virtual machines is running weird. When using a network inside a virtual machine (for example, copy of iso file from
the network to virtual machine) CPU inside of the VM at 100%. 50-60% is process System interrupts. All terribly slow, up until the copy end.
I do not know
what to do. Maybe somebody faced with
something similar? Thnx!
HP DL380 G5:
Intel Xeon 5130 2.0 GHz * 2
Ram 32 Gb
Raid Smart Array P400i 512mb + battery
Network Broadcom BCM5708C 1 Gb * 2
Host OS - raid 1
VMs - raid 10

Windows Server 2012 R2 + all updates + all newest drivers

Hi Andrey ,
First , I would suggest you to keep the driver up-to-date for physical NIC .
Then check if the integration service was installed .
Allocate more Vcpu for that VM .
If the issue persists please try to disable "offload" for that VM :

Hi Elton!
I have already installed
the latest driver for NICs. From here:
Broadcom
The integration service was installed of course.
I added one additional virtual processor per VM. 2012 R2 works better. In 2018 R2 the task manager
freezes
when copying. Load is 100%..
Disabling"offload"
does not help..
