Windows Server 2012 R2 Backups have the wrong time

Because of serious problems with Server 2012R2 and the fact it activates without permission and support is absolute garbage, I made Windows Server Backups at various stages of the install so I would not have to start the install again from scratch,
however the times of the backups when attempting a restore are around 11 hours earlier than the time they where actually made and the time of creation that is shown in the Windows Backup program.

Hi,
I’m a little unclear about your question. Would you please give an example of the issue?
In additional, please check if the thread below is helpful.

How to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

how to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

Use guide below to convert it to 'basic' disk, or install windows on another drive. The supported way is to delete all partitions and convert it to a basic disk.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755238.aspx
However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.

The MS15-10 Security Update for Windows Server 2012/R2 Essentials and the Client Restore Functionality

Hi Susan. I hope there's a better 'fix' coming to replace this "uninstall the updates, restore, then reinstall the updates after the restore". This kind of workaround requires that all of us remember that there's a problem
with KB3023562 and KB3004375 from now until the end of WS2012E. Not sure I'll remember this 6 months from now when the problem crops up during a restore. -:(

Failure to create a shared protection point during Windows Server 2012 R2 backup.

Several partitions on a system disk have been extended as well as the backup destination partition. After that Windows Server 2012 R2 failed the backup of a system disk with the following error message 0x8004230C. The Server stated it had failed to create
a shared protection point on source volumes and indicated a problem with volume shadow writer. What needs to be done to fix this error and does it have anything to do with partitions being extended?
Vladimir Shipitsyn

Hi,
What destination did you use to do the previous unsuccessful backup? You could try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot errors where the cause is reported by an underlying layer to Windows Server Backup.

Running two instances of Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 on the same domain

We have Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 running as a domain controller -- and have installed another licensed copy of the same thing on the same domain. We want to use the 2nd server for running an LOB application and provide backup for the
AD services.
The 2nd server is a member of the domain. Can I do this and have the 2nd server provide AD failover services like they do with 2012 Standard?

Two things to consider. In the XP and 2003 era, the OS was not written in a security-first fashion. While XP did have LUA, almost nobody used them. Then came Vista and UAC, and those prompts were a major pain point because nobody wrote for security. Fast
forward 6 years and standard accounts are a normal best practice. Almost nobody in business recommends running daily tasks as administrator.
I mention all this to illustrate that, similar to admin accounts, what you used to get away with no longer applies. Running LOB apps on a DC is just bad. Many times, the app just doesn't work. But even if you could get it to work, it is a terrible idea.
If the stories of Home Depot, Target, and most recently Sony don't already give it away, I'll spell it out. We no longer live in an age where you can take shortcuts and expect to be safe. Large organizations make national news when they screw up. But small
businesses are targeted just as often and are at just as much risk. From "leaking" their client info to having their data held for ransom, the small business is abused regularly, but never makes national news because they are, by definition, small.
If you can take simple easy steps to help minimize that risk, such as keeping a domain controller free of other software and locked down, then it is almost unethical to do Otherwise in the modern computing era. The world ha changed. It is our responsibility
as I.T professionals to change with it. That's why we get to call ourselves "professionals" in relation to I.T.
So, what bad things? Risking the customer's very livelihood. I consider that pretty darn bad.

Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 Scan to Folder - Windows Server 2012 Error: Authentication with the destination has failed check settings

I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.
Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
Administrative Tools
Server Manager
Features
Group Policy Manager
Forest: ...
Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
Policies
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Security Options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
- Define This Policy
- Disabled
However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
I have also tried the following at the server:
Policies -> Security Policies
Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.
Are there any other things I have missed?

I can email anybody the firmware module if interested and how to...

Download Updates for Windows Server 2012 R2 Security Baseline..every time I open SCM

Each and every time I open SCM, I am prompted to download the Windows Server 2012 R2 Security Baseline 1.0 Fr, August 15 2004... Doesn't matter if I've installed it before or not.
Anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can get it to stop? I tried uninstalling SCM and reinstalling, but the problem continues.
SCM is installed on a Windows 7 virtual machine, if that is relevant.
Thank you,
Rob

Same issue here. Shame MS doesn't put more resources on this tool.

RemoteFX Windows Server 2012 RC - None of the GPUs on this computer support RemoteFX

No matter what I've tried, I cannot enable RemoteFX on Server 2012. When I open Hyper-V Manager, right-click on Hyper-V Settings, and click on Physical GPUs, I see the message:
"None of the physical graphics processing units (GPUs) on this computer support RemoteFX. Use of RemoteFX 3D adapter requires at lease one physical GPU that supports RemoteFX."
I'm using a computer with an i7 processor, 6GB RAM, and a Nvidia Quadro FX 4800. Also, I have an ASUS motherboard with
no on-board video. Here are some of the things I've done:
Installed RDS using Quick Start, Virtual-desktop install
Installed the latest Windows 8 drivers of Quadro 4800. (Also tried the Server 2008 drivers at one point.)
Installed the Remote Desktop Session Host (which for some reason doesn't install when you use the RDS wizard)
I've tried reinstalling the OS numerous times.
Tried a different graphic card (Nvidia GeForce 260). The card is ~4 years old, but I got it working with RemoteFX on Server 2008. Once I tried it with Server 2012, it didn't work.
One more observation:
An article I read says that server must support VM Monitor Mode Extensions, SLAT extensions, virtualization enabled and
DEP which can be found in the System Information app. When I first install the OS, these fields are marked as
Yes, but once I install Hyper-V (separately or using the RDS install wizard), these fields disappear and are replaced by the text: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed. In
the article, it says this text is usually an indication that the machine that the OS is installed on is virtual. Not sure if this is actually an issue.
I feel like I'm missing something really simple. Like I said, I've gotten RemoteFX working on Server 2008.
Thanks.

the card is dx11 compatible and has been for the last 6-7 months

Windows Server 2012 reboots while removing the Hyper-V vSwitch.

I have a WIn2k12 server with Hyper-V running. While removing the vSwitch configured in Hyper-V, the server got rebooted. In the event logs below mentioned error was notices.
he computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000019 (0x0000000000000024, 0x00000000000000f2, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffffa800b9ba6c0). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 072314-20248-01.
The Windows has generated a MEMORY.dump which is ~570MB in size. Is it possible to analyze the MEMORY.dump and find the cause for a server reboot.
Can you please someone help me to narrow down the root cause of this issue and how to avoid this issue in the future.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I analyses the the MEMORY.DMP using the WinDbg. Provided the debug output below. Will this help you to narrow down the root cause and let me know if any similar issue faced by someone else.

Windows Server 2012 R2 Backup problem

I'm unable to backup a client PC It repeatedly says there is insufficient space but the Volume is 3Tb with only about 150Gb used for Server folders. Looking at other reports one solution is to add a further volume but I have no more space and it's
why I bought a 3Tb HDD. A fix for that was promised in 2012. Can someone please point me to it? The 3 individual volumes on the client computer all have ample space on them for Shadow copy. WHS 2011 didn't have this problem. Thank
you

Do you have a copy of the backup log?

Windows Server 2012 R2 Backup Issue

Dear Sir/Madam
Everyday I schedule the backup but backup is not successful.The event error code is below .Kindly help the system state backup is also not successfull.
Pls help
Regards

Solution 1) Permanently disable WINRE so a snapshot is not attempted on the recovery partition when Windows image backup (BMR) is taken.
a) open an administrative command prompt.
b) Run: reagentc /disable
c) BMR backups will now succeed. To enable WINRE again run: reagentc /enable
this happens on a gen2 vm because the image file is larger than a gen1 image.

Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO download incorrect in Evaluation center.

I've tried to download the ISO 3 times (the 4th is in progress now)
The first time I tried I got an Akamai error. Then after trying again, the download completed without error.
However the directory didn't contain an ISO it had 7 files:
SC2012_R2_SCOM.EXE
SC2012_R2_SCAC.EXE
SC2012_R2_SCCM_SCEP.EXE
SC2012_R2_SCDPM_EVAL.ZIP
SC2012_R2_SCO.EXE
SC2012_R2_SCSM.EXE
SC2012_R2_SCVMM.EXE
They all appear to be for System Center, not Windows Server 2012 R2.
I was very careful to specify Windows Server 2012 R2, (especially after the 3rd time)
The download bar in the upper left says "Windows Server 2012..." I can't see what's after the ...
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please follow the steps below to download it.
1. Open
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012-r2
2. Expand Windows Server 2012 R2 and choose ISO/VHD. Then, click Register to continue.
3. Complete the two forms.
4. When you reach the Akamai page, you can choose “download the installer” or “If you cannot complete the installation, Click here”
5. If you choose “Click here”, then you choose “OK” on the next page and get the download link.

How do I change the URL to the Remote Web Access server in Windows Server 2012?

Hallo!
I have set up a Remote Dexktop Service using the "Quick" deployment method in Server Manager and everything is working greate internally, but I cannot start an app published in Remote Web Access from outside our network.
The problem is that it wants to start the using the internal URL, for example, server.domain.local, instead of the external one, for example remote.server.com.
I therefore want to know how I can change the default URL for the Remote Web Access server and all the Remote Web Apps in Windows Server 2012?
I have allready looked in Server Manager and I can change some of the deployment settings in server manager, but there is no way to alter the URL of the Remote Web Access server. See below images:
Pressing the internal URL only results in opening the internal URL.
This was very simple to do in Windows Server 2008 R2 using the tsconfig tool, but it does not seam to be any way of solving this in server manager.
A possible sollution would be to alter the registry someware in HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Terminal Services. But this can easaly lead to problems due to wrong format, etc. and is probably not supported.
Is there a simpler and supported way?

That option can be used to connect to any machine that you want. The error message indicates that the client machine cannot resolve the name "server.domain.local" to an IP address that it can connect to.
You have several options for configuring that tab on the RDweb site. You can even remove it entirely.
Customization of RD Web Site
RD Web provides a number of customization options for the RD Web interface, including the ability to control default Gateway server settings and redirection settings. These settings
are controlled by editing the web.config file located in %SYSTEMROOT%\Web\RDWeb\Pages.
Displaying Local Help
To display local help for users instead of the web-based help, edit the LocalHelp value and change the value from false to true.

<add key="LocalHelp" value="false" />
When this value is changed, a user that clicks on Help in the upper right corner of the RD Web login page will open the local help file instead of web-based help.
Hiding the Connect to a Remote PC Tab
The RDWeb page
Connect to a Remote PC tab can be hidden from users to prevent connections to any servers through RD Web other than the servers configured in a collection. By default, this setting is set to true and the
Remote Desktops tab is displayed. To hide the tab, set the value to false.

<add key="ShowDesktops" value="true" />
When the value is set to false, a user will not see the Connect to a Remote PC tab when logged on to the RD Web page
RD Gateway Settings
If the Connect to a Remote PC tab is enabled, an administrator can configure RD Web to use a Gateway server when connecting to remote computers. To specify a gateway, edit the below
value with the name of the RD Gateway server:

<add key="DefaultTSGateway" value="" />
The default authentication method for the RD Gateway server can also be configured by editing the following section of the web.config:

<add key="GatewayCredentialsSource" value="0" />
Devices and Resources
By default, only Printers and Clipboard are redirected on connections made using the Connect to a Remote PC tab. If the user clicks the
Options << button, the redirection settings for a specific connection can be modified
To configure each specified redirection option to be enabled or disabled by default, edit the following section in the web.config file:

<add key="xPrinterRedirection" value="true" />
<add key="xClipboard" value="true" />
<add key="xDriveRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPnPRedirection" value="false" />
<add key="xPortRedirection" value="false" />
LAN Experience Defaults
Windows Server 2012 RD Web Access can display a new user selectable option for optimizing the connection for a LAN experience. This option is displayed at the bottom of the RD Web
page and can be controlled by the administrator using the following section of the web.config file:

<add key="ShowOptimizeExperience" value="false" />
<add key="OptimizeExperienceState" value="false" />
This value is set to false by default, but when changed to true, the following checkbox will display at the bottom of the webpage. The LAN experience
checkbox can also be set as enabled by default.
Each setting can also be modified using the IIS Manager user interface:

On Windows Server 2012 R2 the "Show my desktop background on Start" is grayed out

Hi
As shown below, the new 8.1/2012R2 function "Show my desktop background on Start" is not available on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I have tried multiple solutions:
- Activate OS (In Win 8.1 - the feature is unavailable when Win8.1 is not activated)
- Install Desktop Experience
- Playing with the registry key "Subkey: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent Entry:
MotionAccentId_v1.00
But no luck. Does anyone have a solution.
The reason why I need this is, that I am building a Remote Desktop solution, and here we want to give users the same experience as from their desktops.
Looking forward to some exciting feedback.
Regards,
Mr. Thomas

Hi,
I am trying to involve someone to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V - Cluster Sharded Storage - VHDX unexpectedly gets copied to System Volume Information by "System", Virtual Machines stops respondig

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. This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM. 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 off.
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, VMs 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 two 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 a random VHDX gets copied to System Volume Information by "System" of the Clusterd Shared Storage (i.e. C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\System Volume Information).
All VMs stops responding or responds very slowly during this copy process 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.
This happens at random and not every day and different VHDX files from different VMs gets copied each time. Some time it happens during daytime wich causes a lot of problems, especially when a 200 GB file gets copied (which take a lot of time).
What it is not:
We thought that this was connected to the backup, but the backup had finished 3 hours before the last time this happended and the backup never uses any of the files in System Volume Information so it is not the backup.
An observation:
When this happend today I switched on ShadowCopy (previous files) and set it to only to use 320 MB of storage and then the Copy Process stopped and the virtual Machines started responding again. This could be unrelated since there is no way to see
how much of the VHDX that is left to be copied, so it might have been finished at the same time as I enabled ShadowCopy (previos files).
Our question:
Why is a VHDX copied to System Volume Information when scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off? As far as I know, nothing should be copied to this folder when this functionis switched off?

Please only answer our question and do not offer any general optimization tips that do not directly adress the issue! We want the problem to go away, not to finish a bit faster!

Hallo Lawrence!
Thankyou for youre reply, some comments to help you and others who read this thread:
First of all, we use Windows Server 2012 and the VHDX as I wrote in the headline and in the text in my post. We have not had this problem in similar setups with Windows Server 2008 R2, so the problem seem to be introduced in Windows Server 2012.
These posts that you refer to seem to be outdated and/or do not apply to our configuration:
The post about Dynamic Disks:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx is only a recommendation for Windows Server 2008 R2 and the VHD format. Dynamic VHDX is indeed recommended by Microsoft when using Windows Server 2012 (please look in the optimization guide
for Windows Server 2012).
Infact, if we use fixed VHDX then we would have a bigger problem since fixed VHDX are generaly larger then Dynamic Disks, i.e. more data would be copied and that would take longer time = the VMs would be unresponsive for a longer time.
The post "What's the deal with the System Volume Information folder"
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2003/11/20/55764.aspx is for Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 and some things has changed since then. for instance In Windows Server 2012, Shadow Copies cannot be controlled by going to Control panel -> System.
Instead you right-click on a Drive (i.e. a Volume, for instance the C drive/Volume) in Computer and then click "Configure Shadow Copies".
Windows Server 2008 R2 Backup problem
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsbackup/thread/0fc53adb-477d-425b-8c99-ad006e132336 - This post is about the Antivirus software trying to scan files used during backup that exists in the System Volume Information folder and we do not
have any antivirus software installed on our hosts as I stated in my post.
Comment that might help us:
So according to “System Volume Information” definition, the operation you mentioned is Volume Shadow Copy. Check event viewer to find Volume Shadow Copy related event logs and post them.
Why?
Furhter investigation suggests that a volume shadow copy is somehow created even though the Schedule for Shadows Copies is turned off for all drives. This happens at random and we have not found any pattern. Yesterday this operation took almost all available
disk space (over 200 GB), but all the disk space was released when I turned on scheduled Shadow Copies for the CSV.
I therefore draw these conclusions:
The CSV Volume has about 600 GB of disk space and since Volume Shadows Copy used 200 GB, or about 33% of the disk space, and the default limit is 10% then I conclude that for some reason the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy did not have any limit (or ignored
the limit).
When I turned on the Schedule I also change the limit to the minimum amount which is 320 MB and this is probably what released the disk space. That is, the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy operation was aborted and it adhered to the limit and deleted the
Volume Shadow Copy it had taken.
I have also set the limit for Volume Shadow Copies for all other volumes to 320 MB by using the "Configure Shadow Copies" Window that you open by right clicking on a drive (volume) in Computer and then selecting "Configure Shadow Copies...".
It is important to note that setting a limit for Shadow Copy Storage, and disabaling the Schedule are two different things! It is possible to have unlimited storage for Shadow Copies when the Schedule is disabled, however I do not know if this was the case
Before I enabled Shadow Copies on the CSV since I did not look for this.
I now have defined a limit for Shadow Copy Storage to 320 MB on all drives and then no VHDX should be copied to System Volume Information since they are all larger than 320 MB.
Does this sound about right or am I drawing the wrong conclusions?

There is something strange about the limits on the Secondary host!
I have not in any way changed the settings on the Secondary host and as you can see, the Secondary host has a maximum limit of only 35 MB storage on the CSV, but it also shows that this is 10% of the Volume. This is clearly not the case since 10% if 600
GB = 60 GB!
The question is, why does it by default set a too small limit (i.e. < 320 MB) on the CSV and is this the cause of the problem? I.e. is the limit ignored since it is smaller than the smallest amount you can provide using the GUI?
Is the default 35 MB maximum Shadow Copy limit a bug, or is there any logical reason for setting a limit that according to the GUI is too small?
