Windows Update fails on Server 2012 R2 Virtual Machine

I have set up a virtual network with two virtual machines. The first VM is Server 2008 R2 and is set up as a domain controller. The second VM is Server 2012 R2, and has been joined to the domain. The DC (TestVM1) is also set up as a DNS server.
From TestVM2 (Server 2012 R2), I am able to log in using a domain login, and I am able to browse to a public website.
I was able to run Windows Updates from TestVM1, but when I attempt to run Windows Updates from TestVM2, it fails.
The Windows Update client shows "Error(s) found:" and "Code 8024402F".
Errors in WindowsUpdate.log include

I am having the exact same issue. Fresh build of Server 2012 R2 from the Microsoft Volume Licensing ISO. I tried before and after joining to the domain. Same error every time. Firewall is turned off. No AV. We do have a cloud proxy service, but I bypassed
that as a test and got the same error message. I also tried to stop wuauserv and cleaning out the folder and starting it back up. No joy as well. This is a VM server running on ESXi 5.1.  Server 2008 servers dont seem to have
an issue. Server 2012 server don't seem to have an issue. Only this new Server 2012 R2 server. My logs are below:

Backing up Windows Server 2012 R2 Virtual Machine

When I try to back my Windows Server 2012 R2 Virtual machine up to a NAS, using the Windows Server Utility I get the following errors:
There was a failure in preparing the backup image in one of the volumes in the backup set.
Detailed error: The process can not access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.
When viewing the errors in Event viewer I get the following error:
The backup operation that started at '‎2014‎-‎03‎-‎12T10:23:08.681735200Z' has failed with following error code '0x807800C5' (There was a failure in preparing the backup image of one of the volumes in the backup set.). Please review the event details for
a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Louis

Have a look, check whether the solution is working for you.

ODBC Problems with SQL Server 2012 on Virtual Machine

I am having problem with my application after my IT department upgraded to SQL Server 2012 with error "ConngetDataToModify.vi:1"<ERR>Object 0x2222222 is not valid. I have 4 servers running the same executable without problem before the upgraded. However, after the upgrade 2 of these Server are having the problem with the ODBC connection. Here are my setup, the application was created using LabView8.5, we have 2 physical server box running Window Server 2003, 2 Virtual Machine on Windows Server 2008, and a Virtual Machine with SQL 2012 Server. The 2 physical server running the executable without a problem after the upgrade, but the 2 Virtual Server were unable to connects to the ODBC connection. Anyone have any idea why this is happening , it is the problem with compatibility between my application with Server 2008 and SQL 2012 Server, or is there a problem with both beings Virtual Servers? As I said, the 2 physical Server seem to be running without any problem with the upgrade.

My guess is that the problem is not specifically with LV. This should be relatively easy to check if you create a UDL file and double click it. This opens a Microsoft wizard which allows you to configure and test DB connections (the UDL file itself is basically just a text file which holds a connection string). If it doesn't work there, it won't work in LV.
As for what the actual problem is, a common culprit is the firewall, which is easy enough to check by disabling it. Another option is the surface area configuration of SQL Server, which will not allow network connections unless you tell it to.
It should probably also be noted that LV 8.5 is not officially supported on Windows Server. I'm assuming that's not the issue, but be aware of it.
Try to take over the world!

Windows Update error 80246003 Server 2012 / 2012 R2

Hi All,
I'm running into a problem trying to apply an update from WSUS 3.2.7600.226. Other updates have succeeded OK but I'm left with this one failing on more than one server. All the other updates seem fine but once this update fails windows update appears broken
and will no longer update anything.
The update is KB2538243. I've attached the error to this post and also included some logs below.
So far I've removed the servers from wsus. Stopped the wuauserv service and deleted the "software distribution" folder. used gpupdate to detect them again. Nothing seems to work. The patches have been applied to wsus to allow updating of W8 and
2012.

Looks to me like you've installed KB2734608 on the WSUS server and then failed to perform the required post-installation client-side procedures, resulting in the WUA being unable to validate the installation file (because it doesn't have the SHA-2 hash cached
in the client-side datastore).

From the logfiles you supplied, it appears that SP1 for .NET FW 1.1 is missing.
These security updates will not install if you don't have SP1 for .NET FW 1.1 installed.
Check this KB article on information about how to verify if SP1 for .NET FW 1.1 is installed, how to get SP1 for .NET FW 1.1, etc

Server 2012 cluster - virtual machine live migration does not work

Hi,
We have a hyper-v cluster with two nodes running Windows Server 2012. All the configurations are identical.
When I try to make a Live migration from one node to the other I get an error message saying:
Live migration of 'Virtual Machine XXXXXX' failed.
I get no other error messages, not even in event viewer. This same happens with all of our virtual machines.
A normal Quick migration works just fine for all of the virtual machines, so network configuration should not be an issue.
The above error message does not provide much information.

Hi,
Please check whether your configuration meet live migration requirement:
Two (or more) servers running Hyper-V that:
Support hardware virtualization.
Yes they support virtualization.
Are using processors from the same manufacturer (for example, all AMD or all Intel).
Both Servers are identical and brand new Fujitsu-Siemens RX300S7 with the same kind of processor (Xeon E5-2620).
Belong to either the same Active Directory domain, or to domains that trust each other.
Both nodes are in the same domain.
Virtual machines must be configured to use virtual hard disks or virtual Fibre Channel disks (no physical disks).
All of the vitual machines have virtual hard disks.
Use of a private network is recommended for live migration network traffic.
Have tried this, but does not help.
Requirements for live migration in a cluster:
Windows Failover Clustering is enabled and configured.
Yes
Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) storage in the cluster is enabled.
Yes
Requirements for live migration using shared storage:
All files that comprise a virtual machine (for example, virtual hard disks, snapshots, and configuration) are stored on an SMB share. They are all on the same CSV
Permissions on the SMB share have been configured to grant access to the computer accounts of all servers running Hyper-V.
Requirements for live migration with no shared infrastructure:
No extra requirements exist.
Also please refer to this article to check whether you have finished all preparation works for live migration:
Virtual Machine Live Migration Overview

FYI Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413) Stops SCVMM service starting

I just applied update:
Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413)
and (KB2965414) but it failed to install.
After a reboot I could not login to the VMM and the service would not start
An event id 0 was reported with:
Service cannot be started. System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

After I removed the update the VMM was able to start, no reboot required.
When I have time I will try to apply both updates again successfully and see if the issue still occurs.
Vista Ultimate Dell XPS M1330

FYI. I've had the same issue after I installed Update Rollup 3 (KB2965413), seeing the exact same error on event log. Tried to start the service manually, getting service unable to start error. This is a machine running
with Windows Server 2012 Standard. Solution for me is simple. I just install
KB2965414 (Update Rollup 3 for SCVMM 2012 R2), reboot the server, and the SCVMM service auto start up by itself.

Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001

Hi all,
I have a WSUS installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box, I have a new Windows Server 2012 box (joined to domain) that cannot get updates from the WSUS, whenever I try to search for new updates I receive the following error in event viewer:
Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001
Note: I cannot see the Win2K12 server in the WSUS console under computers node.

I couldn't get it to run even after installing the mentioned KB fixes. So I investigated the error myself, and found a "hack" that seems to fix the issue. Wrote up a small piece on it here:
http://tplive.azurewebsites.net/2013/12/windows-update-error/
You and about a thousand other people have reported "I had already installed [the update], but installing it AGAIN fixed the problem.", which is almost assuredly a simple indication that the original installation of the update failed, and you simply did
not recognize that the installation of the update was not successful.
The fact that the /selfupdate folder was corrupted (read: missing files) pretty much says it all. There's no bug. Your installation of the update simply failed. (Or, the server wasn't healthy to begin with and you got what you got.)
Bottom line: The only known cause for a client-side 0x800B0001 error code is that the WSUS server has not been
properly and completely patched.

Digital Filing broken with windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2?

Hello
Recently upgraded my machines so now I have Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 running. The scanning from my Officejet L7680 to a network share on one of these machines is no longer working.
Looking into it with network monitors I can see that the login of the user and password is working but then the save of the file on the share gives and error.
In windows 8.1 it starts creating the file but cannot add content to it (so the file is 0 Bytes in size) on Server 2012 R2 the creation of the file already gives and error.
Searching around the web seems to indicate that changes in the SMB protocol on the latest windows versions are the cause of this and other MFP suppliers are providing firmware updates to fix this. There seems no way to fix this at the Windows side.
Can HP confirm this issue and indicate which all in ones will be able to connect to network shares on these latest windows version ? With or without a firmware update.

I can confirm that I'm experiencing the same issue on my Windows 8.1 x64 machine and Windows 2012 R2 Essentials. Will there ever be a firmware update for the L7680 printer so we can get this functionality working again?

Can't change printer port on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

1. Install "Lexmark X646e Class Driver" using a in-box print driver (i.e. one comes with the Windows installation base) .
2. Go to "Printer properties" -> "Port"
3. Select a custom monitor port, and the following error occurs in Event Viewer.
An error occurred while configuring print queue 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver'. Printer driver 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver' may not be used in conjunction with a non-inbox port monitor.
Same steps applied on Windows 8 and Server 2012, and not issues found. The restriction/limitation is newly added in Window 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
Changing to a custom monitor port after printer driver installation is very important for us.
How can we solve or workaround the above issue, so it can behave like Windows 8 and Server 2012?

What Port Monitor just so I can bubble this information to some others?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Hi Alan:
We developed a custom printing system, which involved the following configurations:
1. Create a custom port monitor on server 2012 r2.
2. Change an existing print queue to use this custom port monitor, and share this print queue.
3. All workstations will print to this shared print queue on the server.
The goal is to manage/monitor the print information in StartDocPort for all printing for instance. This is what we've been doing for a long time.
Now we upgraded our system from server 2012 to server 2012 R2, but we can't change the port monitor to our ones anymore.
I've tried the Type3 printer driver, such as Brother Color Type3 Class Driver, unfortunately it didn't work if the installation is using "Add a printer", and select the driver from the list.
The only way to make it work is to install the printer driver using the one downloaded from the vendor's website, this will bypass Windows "Add a printer".
Is there any chance we can make this to behave like server 2012 or earlier? Modify registry keys?
Cheers
Steven

How to uninstall/remove security update for SQL Server 2012

My requirement is to uninstall/remove security update for SQL
Server 2012 Service Pack 1 only. so are these below steps are correct or do I need to take any extra precaution for uninstallation?
Go to Control panelàProgramsà
Programs and FeaturesàInstalled Updrtes, right click on update and uninstall
As per my knowledge in SQL Server 2005, we cannot uninstall a service pack. we have to uninstall SQL Server 2005 completely, and reinstall SQL Server 2005 with previous service
packs and updates. but Starting SQL Server 2008, we can uninstall a service pack using Control Panel.

Windows 8 Windows Update fails with error 80244FFF

Hi @SURAJITsaha ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14-b049tu Sleekbook and issues with a Windows update.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.
Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
You might have to temporarily disable your virus protection.
Hope this helps.
