Windows server 2012 R2 file server for windows XP machines?

I know that we can't auto enroll users that use an XP machine, but can an XP machine use the windows server 2012 R2 as a file server? Users will still be authenticated on a windows server 2003 machine.

Hi,
I found this article on Symantec website:
Enterprise Vault 10.0.3 Feature Briefings - FSA support for Windows Server 2012
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=DOC6307
So the newest version should support Deduplication (at least on Windows Server 2012) now.
And for best practice, do you have any specific requirement? It actually depends on necessary.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Server 2012 R2 File Server - 2008 R2/Win7 Clients Access Denied. SMB 3 Encryption.

I've setup a Server 2012 R2 File Server. When creating shares I selected to enable encryption.
Now Windows 7 and 2008 R2 clients cannot access. Pretty clear that this is SMB 3 encryption the cause.
OK. So can I enable these Windows 7 and 2008 R2 clients to access encrypted SMB 3 shares?
I can find no answer or documentation on this.

So can I enable these Windows 7 and 2008 R2 clients to access encrypted SMB 3 shares?
No, you can't. These Windows 7 and 2008 R2 clients talking to Windows Server 2012 R2, they will negotiate to the lowest common protocol which would be SMB 2.1 enabling communication, while not taking advantage of the SMB 3.0 specific capabilities (encryption
included).
There's no built-in encryption inside SMB 2.1

Windows Server 2012 R2 File Server

I updated my file server to Server 2012 R2 and everything went ok except now my windows 8 clients cannot connect to the file server. I get a generic error An extended error has occurred when I try to unc to it and none of my drives will map. Did anyone else have an issue like this?
The file server is a virtual server running on Hyper-V and the file storage comes from a San iscsi drive.
Thanks for any help with this issue.

Get server with Windows Server 2012 R2 or wait for Windows Server "10"?

We are looking to get a new server this year but with Windows 10 coming out shortly/this year, wouldnt it be better to wait until Windows Server "10" is released THEN get the server?
Thank you

Hi,
Windows 10 is the next version of the Windows client operating system. Until now, there is no official information of Windows Server operating system about the version next to Windows Server 2012 R2. You may pay attention to Microsoft official website for
the information about the newest product.
Windows Server：

Here is the instruction about Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise, just for your reference:

Hi
Can you also check the log files for errors? What does event viewer indicate?
Try updating the drivers as well on the server.

Elevating Server 2012 to take over for a SBS machine.

Greetings everyone
Are there any special considerations or steps that need be done when elevating my BDC running Server 2012 from a PDC running SBS 2008? We are wanting to remove the SBS machine entirely as we no longer need it and could possibly be of use to one of our clients
down the road.
Thank You
Additional Info: We have already migrated Exchange to the cloud and is no longer hosted on our SBS server. The only function the SBS server has at the moment is being the PDC.
Jerry T

Hi Jerry,
If we want to migrate SBS 2008 to Windows Server 2012 standard, the following blog can be referred to as reference.

Hi Johan, Hi Manik,
Your reply with the link for the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows® 8 at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652 has been very much appreciated.
I have also found a new and updated link to the *NEW* Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39982 that was released and published on 2013-Oct-17.
Please note that this ADK can be used with Windows Server 2012, but there are some important differences between the Windows 8 ADK and the Windows Server 2012 ADK. The TechNet summary of the ADK may be explored at the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200116.aspx

It is compatible Obi 11g with Windows Server 2012 and Sql Server 2012?

Hi every
Please help with two questions.
1. - Obi 11g is supported on Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012?
There a compatibility matrix which mention compatibility with versions 2012?
2. - is feasible to install Obi 11g in separate server and install weblogic on another server?
I appreciate the prompt response
Regards
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
As of November 2012 Compatibility Matrix released by Oracle for OBI 11.1.1.x Windows 2012 and SQL Server 2012 were not supported. It was supported on 2008 Windows and SQL Server.
We can have weblogic and OBI server's on 2 different machines. The approach is to opt software only install. the link below will give more details:

Mac mini w/Lion Server as a file server on a windows network

I would like to run a mac mini server on a windows network as a file server and a office wiki server (no internet)
Do I need a router or a switch? Does the mini support client data backups? Are the users & permissions setting robust and easy to use?
SMB is the protocol? It is my understanding that this is easy with xp but more difficult with windows 7, has this been resolved?
thanks

Anything the AppleTv can play-the mini can.
Playlists from the iTunes store videos can be done on AppleTV, but not
on the Mac Mini. There are third party solutions, but they are hardly easy to setup. I'm working on a setup right now where it is quite a bit more complicated on the Mac Mini:

Shadow Copies on 2012 R2 File Server Cluster

Hello all!
I've inherited a two node physical 2012 R2 file server cluster that contains a few SMB shares on a single clustered disk. I'd like to enable shadow copies for this shared disk but want to store the shadow copy data on its own shared disk
as per shadow copy best practices (at least on non-clustered file servers).
I created a second cluster disk, assigned it to the same resources as the SMB clustered disk.
Now historically I've enabled shadow copies through computer management but I want to ensure the shadow copies are cluster aware so in the Failover Cluster Manager I open Storage | Disks and right click the SMB cluster disk and click the Shadow Copies tab.
From the tab I can Enable shadow copies, this sounds like what I'm looking for, unfortunately it does not give me an option to choose a disk/volume to store my shadow copy data, so this can't be right.
My next step was to connect computer management to the cluster virtual server name (NOCFS4) and through the System Tools | Shared Folders | All Tasks | Configure Shadow Copies it shows me the correct number of shares on the SMB cluster disk plus
I can see the Settings button for configuring the location and size limit for shadow copies, however once I tweak the shadow copy location and size settings, click Ok and click Enable to turn on the shadow copies I get a long pause and an error about
not being able to create a schedule. So it seems connecting to the cluster virtual object is not the answer either.
That leaves using computer management to connect to one of the physical server nodes of the cluster. When I open the shadow copy interface on the physical node I note that it shows a 0 for the number of shares it detects on the SMB clustered disk.
This doesn't surprise me since this interface isn't cluster resource aware.
So I'm stuck. Does anyone know the "Microsoft way" to enable shadow copies on a clustered disk while storing the shadow copy data on a second cluster disk both attached to the same cluster resource?

Hi guys
I spotted exactly same problem right now on Windows 2012 R2 with latest updates.
Enabling Shadow Copy via Cluster Manager on disk will enable schedule and snapshots but schedule is not-cluster aware (is created locally on node) and "Previous Versions" are visible only locally but not via shared folders (UNC path accesible by
clients)
When I spotted this behavior I tried different way going via Computer Management and cluster resource name but console always hangs for me when using "Configure Shadow Copies". After many minutes configuration window is opened (Hurray!) but any
action there will hang whole console again. Enabling Shadow Copies will fail with "0x80004005: Unspecified
error" for creating scheduled task but "Next Run Time" column still shows "Disabled". Checking disk resource via Cluster Manager shows it is enabled and ?local? scheduled task is created.
Computer management console still shows DISABLED and any action freezes whole console (only when cluster resource name is used).
This fix I found, unfortunately, is not applicable to 2012 R2 OS: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2894464
To sum up there is a major bug in MS implementation in Shadow Copies for Shared Folders when clustering is used or it is still not supported in 2012 R2? Doing it outside cluster works as it should (without freezes and Previous Versions are available via
UNC)
There is no documentation about FileServer Clustering on 2012(R2) unfortunately.
Could someone from MS clarify it?
Many thanks
Filip
EDIT:
Ok, one correction:
Scheduled task is not created in "Failover Clustering" hive of Scheduled tasks as user may expect but failover of fileshare to other node will unregister/reregister it on active node only.

Which version of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 OLE DB Provider for DB2 needed?

Hello, first time posting.....
I am developing an SSIS package that needs to connect to DB2 tables. My environment does not have the necessary providers installed (SQL Server 2012 OLE DB Provider for DB2).
I am running SSIS on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard server, w/ SQL Server 2012 R2 installed.
I noticed OLEDB Provider for DB2 v4.0 for SQL Server 2012 does not support Windows Server 2008 R2.
Also, there appears to be a version 5 OLEDB Provider for DB2, bundled with SQL Server 2014 Feature Pack, but I am not running SQL 2014.
Could someone please tell me which version I need to install for Windows Server 2012 R2, running SQL Server 2012 R2?
Thanks!

Also, there appears to be a version 5 OLEDB Provider for DB2, bundled with SQL Server 2014 Feature Pack, but I am not running SQL 2014.
The DB2 OleDB Provider is completly independend of the used SQL Server/SSIS Version; you can use that one.
