Windows Server Activation Issue

Hi all,
Can any one please help me in resolving an issue with Windows Server 2012 License Activation using KMS. While executing the command slmgr /dlv or any other parameter I am receiving an Error 0xC0000022. After checking the event log I saw the Software Protection
Service is getting Failed with an Error 0x80070005. I also tried running SFC Scan (sfc /scannow) and also found the error "Windows Resource Protection Corrupt File but was unable to Fix the same". There are some critical Services and Application
running on the Server.
Can anyone please suggest me some solution for this issue.Below in the Output for the CBS log.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and i have followed the methods which you have proposed still there is no luck and now i am able to find the corrupt files from the logs, and the corrupted files are "C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Event Viewer\Views\Server Roles"
RemoteDesktop.events.xml,webserver.events.xml,
Windowsdeploymentservices.events.XML, windowsserverupdateservices.events.xml
i tried to run dism commad with restore health and it is asking me to specify source files even i have given source switch.
can you guide me how to ran dism command with correct switches to do a repair or can i replace the corrupted files with from some other server.
Thanks,

Connect to Windows Server Active Directory

I have successfully connected windows comps to our windows server active directory, but when trying to connect from my Apple, I am told that username and password is incorrect even though I know I am using the correct one.
I am a bit confused here, but could certainly use some help.

You more than likely need to either disable the "Digitally Sign Communications" policy on your Windows Server or use a better SMB client than the one built into Mac OS X.
Have a look a this page on Microsoft's website about digitally signed communications and where to disable the policy. While this page does not specifically reference Mac OS X, this still applies to your Mac OS X system using SMB. <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/887429>
I suggest you instead look into a third party product called Dave from <http://www.thursby.com>. It doesn't require that you lower your server's security to connect.
Hope this helps! bill

Window Server 2008-Issue running my website on local webserver-ie issue

I hosted my website on my local webserver (Window Server 2008), and when I run it on
iE8 & iE11 the website doesn't look good, my navigation bar brakes, and my image slider breaks too. It is not a browser
issue because, I have hosted the same website on the Goddady servers, and it works fine with
iE8&
iE11. And also on my local webserver when I try to run it on the google chrome it works fine, but on the Internet Explorer comes out with that problem. Do you guys think is a problem with my IIS on my Server? Any help/suggestion/advice I would
really appreciate it.

Mac Backup on Windows Server (Wildcard issues)

So our Art department is suppose to be backing up all files to a Windows Server. Which brings this problem. Of course being designers we use wildcard symbols on naming files which the windows server won't allow. So when we attempt to backup, the copying of files stops because of wildcards in certain file names.
Now we would just go back and go through all the files and fix the wildcards... but this would take years and time is not on our side. Now we have adopted the practice of not using wildcard symbols now but we still have a large back catalog of files that still use them.
Is there some type of Windows side server script that addresses this issue which makes the use of wildcards possible on the windows server?
Or am I out of luck? I would think someone has a fix for this or something?
Thanks,
adam

I would archive the files on the Mac first (into a .tar, .zip, etc. archive), and copy a single archive to the server that has no file naming issues. At least, that is the free way of doing things

2012 R2 Server Activation issues

Hopefully this is the correct location to ask this question.
I'm a student studying for my 70-410 exam as required by my work. I downloaded a copy of
2012R2 Datacenter from Dreamspark. The issue I'm having is with activation, I've been unsuccessful at activating the key. Through Server Manager I get a rather generic error stating "the key didn't work, please check it and try again,
or try a different key".
I've tried through slmgr I do get some more information through there.
slmgr /ato - Error: 0xC004C008 The activation server determined that the specific product key could not be used.
slmgr /dlv - among other things I get the below
License Status: Notification
Notification Reason: 0xC004F009 (grace time expired)
I've already contacted Dreamspark support and they eventually brushed me off to these forums for support, which in searching for posts regarding dreamspark people get referred back to dreamspark support. Below is the last response I got from them, don't
know if it's helpful or not. If I inevitably get referred back to dreamspark, rather than that since it's a waste of time there, who would I need to contact to get that particular license revoked/invalidated so that I may be able to get another key from
Dreamspark?
***Email from Dreamspark***
Thank you for contacting DreamSpark Student Support. I appreciate your prompt response and the screenshot you sent.
I have checked your product and you still have 252 remaining number of activations. For assistance with your inquiry, please visit the MSDN Social Forums at the
following link:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories
The forums offer many community experts and Microsoft Engineers who can be of assistance to you. If you need additional technical support, including finding your
local customer support phone number, please visit the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/compatible
If there is anything else we can do for you, please us know. Thank you for contacting Microsoft.
***Email from Dreamspark***

So I finally found a solution to this, not sure what/why activation was having issues, but the website below has a fix, it's a post for windows 8 but it still works for 2012 R2. The only part that applied to me was step 9 running slui.exe 4. After
walking through the automated system it's now registered.
Hopefully this can help someone in the future.

Windows 8 Activation Issue

I've had my laptop for about a year now and for some reason it now keeps nagging "Activate Windows, Go to PC settings to activate Windows". When I do that there's two optoions: Activate Windows which tells me that Windows can't be activated right now after pressing that button? The second choice is to enter a "new" Windows key?? I put in the key that came with the laptop but it tells me it's not valid? What the hell?

as the cd key is installed in the bios most of the time now you will need some programs to read them

X240 - Windows 7 - Activation issue

Hi, I have a X240 think pad laptop, it came with Windows 7 x64 installed as standard, with upgrade disks to Windows 8 (even though no disk drive). Anyway, Windows update killed the laptop, so I had to wipe the C Drive and re-install windows 7.
However now I cannot activate this version of windows. I just keep getting the DNS error when trying to activate. I was under the impression that this version was an OEM version and would auto activate.
I still have the Lenovo recovery D:\ Drive but don't know how to pull the Activation key from it. I have used a key finder but the key it gave me again didn't work when trying to activate. What can I do please?

Hi,
and welcome to the community.
Perhaps the OS reduction you have installed isn't the same as was preloaded. OEM isn't enough.
You can't use yourself the OEM reduction activation key as a set of symbols for manual activation, you can backup it using 3rd party tools. Activation key is stored in BIOS SLIC, it's inaccessible for the user.
If you have Lenovo preloaded image recovery media or its .wim archives on your drive you could perform laptop recovery to the factory state. The steps depends of what you have, your skills etc.

Windows Server 2008 bare-metal restore

Hello
We have been running a Windows Server 2008 Standard on an old HP ML350 server for many years. The old server finally kicked the bucket so we performed a bare-metal restore (using the Windows built-in restore from backup function) to a new (used) HP
DL380 G6 server... the restore worked perfectly. The new server came right up and everything is working just as it was on the old server except for one major problem. The new server won't activate.
We used the Automated phone line activation utility but after putting in the zillion character installation id, the phone activation voice says the product is invalid and hangs up on me. We tried the "buy a new product key" option that the
Windows Activation utility on the server offers as an option but when we get to the website it says the product is no longer available.
We have the original case and media that we purchased many years ago and the Product Key is on the card that came with the disk (actually 2 discs 32 and 64 bit versions).
What can we do at this point? We don't want to purchase another copy of Windows Server 2008 for fear we will just run into the same problem. The product we have is valid and has been running on our old server for many years. We can't upgrade
to Server 2012 because we believe that 2012 only supports 64 bit versions and we must stay on a 32 bit platform so that existing (and irreplaceable) applications will continue to run.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for your reply.
After trying several Microsoft remedies that did not resolve the problem we decided to just buy another copy of Windows Server 2008. We then used the option to change the product Id to the new key that came with the new copy (sealed container) of Windows
2008 Server, but after doing so we are still unable to activate the product and in fact we are no longer even given the option to Activate... our desktop is black and there is a message in the lower right corner of the screen that says this copy of Windows
is not genuine. When we select Activate on the Computer properties screen we are given an option to go online to correct the problem but when we select that option it brings us to a Windows 7 page. It's as if MS no longer handles Windows 2008
server activation issues.
Life shouldn't be this complicated. Is it possible that even though the new copy of Windows 2008 Server comes with 2 disks... 32 bit and 64 bit versions... that the activation key is only good for 64 bit installations?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Linking a Lion server to AD on Windows server..............

Seen many forums about this, most of which states issues with trying to do this.
Basically we want to intergrate Lion server with Windows Active Directory so that the mac clients can login using their user names and passwords and gain access to their home folders on the AD.
Obviously the macs have multiple users, hence the reason for doing this.
We also want to be able to access extra raid storage which is connected to the Lion server for video and photography storage via share points.
All the macs are running Lion
Is this feasible??

ok, thanks for the reply, let me try and shed more info on this
10 imacs running lion on a wired network
mac mini server running lion server on the same network
Raid box connected to mac mini via firewire
all the imacs need to be able to connect to the mac mini server in order to access the raid as a share point to store work ie photos and videos
at the same time, the imacs must have locked down desktops to stop students removing, downloading and using stuff they shouldn't
at the same time the imacs need to be able to access individual student share folders located on the windows server (active directory)
so there are 3 main challenges really.

what could be the possible solution?
Thanks
Any help will be much appreciated.

This does not seem to be a Windows Server core issue, as you would not be running Chrome on Server core. Chrome requires a GUI. This is a Server Core forum.
You might be better served taking this query to a forum dedicated to Chrome.

Download issue when Windows 7 Pro joins a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory

Hi,
I purchased 2 new Dell OptiPlex 3010 desktop computers that came with Windows 7 Professional operating system with SP1.
There were no Microsoft updates installed yet. After I added one of these Dell computers to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, I was not able to download several items.
Below are several examples:
1) I downloaded the Norton anti-virus installation file. This file is not the full installation of Norton; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Norton web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it does not download the full installation files.
It just hung at the screen saying “Downloading” and it will finally stop with an error (don’t remember the error message).
Note: If I have the full Norton installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
2) I downloaded the Adobe Reader installation file. This file is not the full installation of Adobe Reader; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Adobe web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it hung at the downloading part and then it will error out with a “Actionlist Not Found” message.
Note: If I have the full Adobe Reader installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
3) I installed Microsoft Office 2010 Standard version on this computer.
I configured Microsoft Outlook to retrieve emails from my email provider (pop and smtp settings).
After configuring Microsoft Outlook, I was able to send emails through Microsoft Outlook successfully (and very quickly), but he was unable to retrieve my emails. The progress bar for the Receiving in the "Outlook Send/Receive Progress" box
shows no progress. The Progress bar is not moving. There is a message at the bottom of Microsoft Outlook stating "Receiving message 1 of 6 (x.xx KB of x.xx MB)" and it is very slow. My new emails were not being retrieved at all.
I tried various pop and smtp servers that was available for my email provider, but all had the same effect.
4) I can access certain web sites (e.g.
www.yahoo.com, www.cnn.com) while I cannot access other web sites like
www.usatoday.com, my web hosting email site.
Note: I had a Dell computer with Windows XP Professional operating system and this computer does not have any of the above issues.
The above are only a few examples that I have experienced.
If I removed this Dell OptiPlex 3010 computer from the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I still experience the same issue.
So as another test, I setup the other new Dell OptiPlex 3010 with the same Windows 7 Professional OS with SP1.
This time, I did not join the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory and I was able to successfully download the full Norton installation files, download the full Adobe Reader installation files, download my emails from Microsoft Outlook 2010, etc.
But once I joined this computer to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I am not able to download these files and emails at all.
It seems like there might be some group policy or a security setting that is preventing these downloads so I disabled the group policy on the Windows Server 2008 AD and Windows 7 Profession OS, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
I disabled all of the firewall programs on this Windows 7 Professional OS, but it still did not resolve the issue.
Since the Windows Server 2008 AD did not have DHCP installed, I installed DHCP and setup a scope.
Then configured the Windows 7 Professional OS to obtain an IP address, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
If I move this Windows 7 Professional computer to another network where it did not have any Active Directory; it just had a wireless router serving DHCP then everything works on the Windows 7 Pro computer.
Any ideas what is the root cause when a Windows 7 Professional computer join a Windows Server 2008 AD?
Thanks,
wl_tech

Hi,
Could you please tell some information for the AD environment and how it connect to the internet?
Regarding 3rd party installlers didn't work as expected, please also seek help in their offical website.
For outlook not receiving emails, could you please take a look in
Event Viewer and see if there are any special errors logged there?
And when trying to access the website like
www.usatoday.com, any special errors IE showed out?

credentials. Just looking for a point in the right direction and a possible theory as what could cause this problem, an why all of a sudden. I did go back through the logs but nothing sticks out. For the most part the logs on the server and the laptop are
pretty clean.
Both machines are Latitude E5420s running Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1. Both machines are 64bit and connect to the network via hard-wire, not wireless.
Thanks in advanced.

I would recommend proceeding that way:
Check that your DCs are in a healthy state and AD replication is fine: It might be that the user is member of security groups and the membership is not getting replicated properly which can cause this random behavior. You can use
dcdiag and repadmin for checks and you can refer to my recommendations here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx
Make sure that the file server is reachable from the user client computer. Start with
ping and nslookup. Also, you need to make sure that the traffic between the client and the server is not blocked or filtered. You might want to temporary disable security software for testing
