Windows Server Technical Preview (Multipoint feature request)

Hi
On Multipoint Server 2011/2012, I created a way to have the server serve via PXE boot a WinPE image that RDP's back to the Multipoint server. This basically allowed me to provide a Win7/8 desktop environment on just about any existing workstation that I
encountered (old Panasonic Toughbooks to the clamshell Dell GX280's). The Multipoint server resides on a VM and is able to manage the hypervisor. This setup has proven to be great at providing a consistent working environment to access virtual labs for students
with limited hardware.
I am glad to see that Multipoint Server isn't totally abandoned, and I like how it is now a role rather than a standalone OS.
Please feel free to check it out, use and modify it for whatever purpose you see fit:

Can you try enabling secure boot and running the following PowerShell cmd:
Set-VMFirmware -VMName "Name of your VM" –SecureBootTemplate MicrosoftWindows
And let me know if that works?
Cheers,
Ben

Windows Server Technical Preview - RDS - RemoteFX 3D

Hi Windows Server Team,
I am having an issue with the Windows Server Tech Preview and Remotefx 3D. I installed the RDS role and have it all configured with no problems. I loaded a VM of Windows 10 Enterprise Tech Preview. It works fine, however when I activate the RemoteFX 3D on
that virtual machine. It then just shows a black screen in my Hyper-V Manager and just stays hung on the black screen. I have been working with RDS and RemoteFX 3D since the Windows 2008 R2 days and have never had this problem at all. When I try to Shut down
the VM it stays hung when I try to Turn Off the VM it stays hung. I am forced to reboot the server and when it comes back up it still just shows a Black screen for the Windows 10 Enterprise VM with RemoteFX 3D turned on. I really wanted and was interested
in testing the new OpenGL features and other ehancements that have been mentioned with this version of RDS and remotefx 3d. I also noticed that Gen 2 VM's now also support the RemoteFX 3D features and even tried to create a Windows 10 Enterprise as a
Gen 2 VM but I have the same problem. My server is a Dell PowerEdge R720. Thanks and I look forward to your reply and can hopefully get this working.
Regards,
Robi Rodriguez

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Initially we need to check whether the device is supported for latest version of features available. To use new feature available with Windows Serer Technical Preview we need to see that device supports the latest available OS. Please go through
this article for information. You can contact Dell for further information whether it
still have any updates for Windows Server Technical Preview.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

PC Settings application in Windows Server Technical Preview

The PC Settings app in Windows Server Technical Preview would not start with a message "Immersive control panel did not start". Does anybody else have a similar problem and what might be the cause of it?
Vladimir Shipitsyn

I accidentally checked the PC settings app today and surprisingly found it perfectly working. I do not know what caused it to start working since Microsoft did not offer any updates for Windows Server TP in February (maybe it was a matter of an
earlier update?), however, I was able to set the account picture and the lock screen as well as some other settings. I did not find there though any provision for build updates like in Windows 10 TP, only regular Windows Update menu.
Vladimir Shipitsyn
Hello,
where did you see PC Settings? On my Test machine it is removed complete from the Start Menu and also when using WINDOWS+C where it was possible at the beginning.

Notification of expiration of Windows Server Technical Preview

Today the system gave me notification that the current build would expire on April 15, 2015 and that the computer would start restarting then. Will there be issued an update to the current Windows Server Technical Preview build by then or should the system
just be deleted at its expiration date?
Vladimir Shipitsyn

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
The reality is that we haven’t had a new build since the original.
Maybe an update will be released at some point in the near future that extends the lifespan of the current build (at least the lifespan without shutting down every few hours) beyond 15 April.
I think we could focus on the MS website if there is any updates.

VGPU with Nvidia GRID and Hyper-V in a future Version of Windows Server Technical Preview possible?

Hi Windows-Server Team!
We've got 8 XenServers with NVidia GRID K2 cards in it and using it for our Citrix XenApp/XenDesktops Farms.
Works very good. But we want to do it with Hyper-V.
Is there a plan to do vGPU like XenServer with Hyper-V too?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Windows Server Technical Preview adds support for OpenGL 1-4.4 and OpenCL 1.1. You will need Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview for the guest VM and Server Technical Preview with Hyper-V installed on the physical host.

Release Date for Windows Server Technical Preview

Hi,
Could someone please tell me which year at least the new Windows Server will be out in? This is so I can plan to update stuff as and when needed.
Kind Regards,
Sean

Windows Server VNext will probably GA in the second 2016 quarter (May, June) but Microsoft did not mention any of that. Aidan Finn thinks that it will be in May too
HERE
Maybe in the Microsoft Ignite at Chicago, we will be updated with same dates (4-8 May 2016)

Windows Server Technical Preview Done Right

Thank You, thank you, thank you, thank you! This is how Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 should have been from the start.

The different reactions are interesting on this. I pretty much stopped using the Start menu when Vista and 2008 came out. Yes, I would click the button (or pearl) but then I would immediately start typing and the system would find what I was
looking for a heck of a lot faster than I could trying to navigate the menu. So when Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 came along, I never even missed it. Got used to hitting the Windows key and typing what I'm looking for. That way I can keep
my hands on the keyboard.
But, variety is the spice of life. Whatever makes you happy, happy, happy.
. : | : . : | : . tim
Well, now it allows it to be done both ways and it doesn't bounce you out of the desktop for the search.
I found it convenient to have frequently used items pinned to the Start Menu and Task Bar, but if it was a less-used item that was buried levels deep in hierarchy of the Start Menu, I would use the search field in the Start Menu.
Searching was rarely needed because I didn't use that many different apps.

Test DNS Policies Windows Server Technical Preview

Hello everybody,
I would like to know if anyone tested the new feature of DNS Server: Policies
I installed the DNS Role but not see nothing about the Policies on the GUI.
Thanks in advance.
Robson Hasselhoff - Follow me @Robk9e

Hi,
I've created a simple policy that denies DNS queries from a client subnet for a specific domain.
I created the domain 'denied.com' and another domain 'permitted.com' and then set up a policy to deny queries from client subnet 192.168.0.0/24 for denied.com. No policy is configured for permitted.com so by default the client can query this domain. The
results are below, querying from a client that is on the restricted subnet (the client address is 192.168.0.1).
First, I show that I can query the permitted domain:
PS C:\> resolve-dnsname www.permitted.com
Name
Type   TTL   Section    IPAddress
www.permitted.com                              A
3600 Answer     192.168.0.2
Next, the restricted domain is queried, and the server replies with a failure:
PS C:\> resolve-dnsname www.denied.com
resolve-dnsname : www.denied.com : DNS server failure
At line:1 char:1
+ resolve-dnsname www.denied.com -server 192.168.0.4
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (www.denied.com:String) [Resolve-DnsName], Win32Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RCODE_SERVER_FAILURE,Microsoft.DnsClient.Commands.ResolveDnsName
This is obviously a very simple demonstration, but it works well. The policy is created with registry settings under:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DNS Server\Zones
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DNS Server\ClientSubnets
I would rather not share the details of the registry settings here because it is not advisable to configure policies directly in the registry. The Windows PowerShell cmdlets to configure policies will be available soon. If you'd like to contact me and discuss
the settings more, please email me at greg dot Lindsay at Microsoft dot com.
Thanks,
-Greg

Up to how many CPU sockets are supported by the Windows Server Technical Preview?

I hope that all of a server's physical sockets are detected so that every core is usable by the operating system.

I have a situtation that I need to order a new server
for a new application getting developed?
I have the idea of no of users will be working on
them will be around 100
How will I decide Server with How many CPU do I
require?
and how much the amount fo physical memory should I
order with the Server?
Which are the factore affecting them and how will I
decide on them?
Is there any note given by oracle?Sounds like you need to start at the beginning with some of
Tom Kyte's books, the Oracle documentation &c.
You must have some idea of the throughput of your system.
If you are going to be using tons of I/O, then CPU might be
irrelevant, but you'd damn sure want the disk (array)(s) to
be up to scratch,
on the other hand,
if you are going to be doing lots of calculating/processing, then
your CPU might be critical.
It's a question only you can really answer.
Post a more detailled spec here, along with a budget*
and you may receive more assistance.
Rgs.
Paul...
* budget is normally very very important also...
We could tell you to buy two (one backup) HP-UX boxes
with 16-way SMP capacity and a 10TB 100 disk SAN, with,
oh, say, 10 disk controllers, but that's
not much use if your budget is... ahem... constrained.

Windows 10 Technical Preview and REFS-formatting.

Why does Windows 10 TP not provide for formatting in REFS? It is very inconvenient to have to go to Windows Recovery Environment each time you need to format a drive in REFS.
Vladimir Shipitsyn

Hi all,
Currently, the file system in Windows 10 technical preview is same with Windows 8.1.
The Windows Server Technical Preview has the same file system with Windows Server 2012 R2.

Plextor M.2 512gb ssd works on windows 7 but not on windows 10 Technical Preview

i have found that when you try to install windows 10 on a Plextor M.2 512gb ssd the operating system locks up completely after a random amount of time usually within 10 minutes of booting it. the only way to reboot is to unplug or flip the switch
on the power supply. i have tested this also on windows 7 and it works perfect as far as i can tell. i have tried tweaking the UEFI settings and nothing fixes this. any thing i could be missing?

Hi TripleXGaming,
When you boot into Windows 10, please verify to install Windows update.
Some additional update might be useful in this situation. Like KB3021937, more information, please check:
Windows 10 Technical Preview or Windows Server Technical Preview cannot resume from sleep or cannot start

If you're running 9926 then you're not installing the correct version. If
you expand the Details section you'll see that version was published last
October. You'll need this one, which was published in at the end of
January:

Q. How do you solve bus problems?
A. Shoot the driver.

When adding features, "Add features to Windows 10 Technical Preview" dialog displays error "Couldn't add features"

The process for adding features by selecting "Add features to Windows 10 Technical Preview" from control panel fails with error "Cannot add features. Your previous edition of Windows has been restored, but you should contact Microsoft support."
This occurs after entering the key and the system attempts to reboot and apply updates. During the reboot, the updates begin to apply, fail after a certain percent, then roll back. After rollback and logging in again the above mentioned error message is displayed
in the "Add features to Windows 10 Technical Preview" dialog. Build 9926. Any tips on how to fix this?
