• Installation of Flash Player 12 on Windows Server 2008 R2 X 64 with IE 8

  I have an application that runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 X 64 that requires Flash Player 12. When I try to install Flash Player 12 it says that Windows Server R2 X 64 is not supported by way of elimination of the list of the supported operating systems. When I do a search I can find a lot of people indicating that they executed him or explain "hacks" to make it work. Given that the app requires there is an implimcation that it must be running on this OS. What is the official word on this?  It is a production server, and I really don't want a 'unsupported hack' running in this environment. Is there a way to support for Flash Player 12 run on Windows Server 2008 R2 X 64 with IE8, even if it's in the 32-bit version of the browser?

  Server 2008 (x 86) is supported, and I got a x 64 machine set up last month who had installed FP12 and running in IE and Firefox. 64-bit IE wouldn't execute it for a reason but made the 32-bit. He installed in C/Windows/System32/C:\windows\system32\macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/C:\windows\system32\macromed/Flash, but I was unable to get the ActiveX plugin to allow outside 32 bit IE.

  I also put in place a 2012 server machine that the x 64 ActiveX support, but this is probably not an option for you.

  Like you, I'd be suspicious of the "hacks" so he could work as a pkug-in 64 x, because it can have unexpected and undesirable consequences in other areas.

• Windows Fax and Scan "Sender Name" empty (Windows Server 2008 Standard)

  Hi all

  I am using Windows Server 2008 Standard (32-bit) with a RocketModem III card.  I have the latest drivers for the RocketModem.

  Using Windows Fax and Scan, I can send and receive faxes fine.  The only problem is when I see the fax, the name of the sender is blank.  I am trying to display the telephone number that someone sends me the fax to.

  I had thought it might also be under CSID, but everything I have complete options because it puts there.  I guess that means I want the CSID show for all those who sent faxes to me.

  It might be worth noting that I have active CallerID and you have a real fax machine that shows the incoming number very well.

  Does anyone have an idea where I could go wrong here?  Thanks in advance for the help!

• Address static Ip on windows server 2008

  Hi guys,.

  I'm new to this whole business of VMware. What I will ask you how to configure a static ip address. My host (the actual operating system) is with DHCP, I get my ip by MAC address. Can my guest OS (Windows server 2008) can be set with a static ip address and how?

  I use VMWare workstation 6.5

  P. S.

  SRY, but once again I said... I'm new...

  Welcome to the virtual world.

  Can my guest OS (Windows server 2008) can be set with a static ip address and how?

  To do this the same way as you would on a physical Windows 2008 system. Just edit the network settings.

  Another option would be to install a reservation in your DHCP for the MAC address of the virtual machine. (if you have configured mode bridged for the VM)

• ESXi 3.5 and when trying to install windows server 2008

  I installed ESXi 3.5 on my server and successfully created a first virtual computer on which I am trying to install Windows server 2008 standard. I use VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5 from a Vista machine to access my virtual machine console.

  Installation of Windows server is an ISO file located in the root directory of the ESX Server data store. Everything went well with the installation until one last server restart showed a screen stating "the password must be changed before logging on the first time' by clicking on 'OK' present a login for 'Administrator' screen, asking me to enter a password for the 'new' and 'Confirm password '.

  Any attempt to enter a new password results (up to 14 characters, mixture letter & number) in a message "unable to update the password, the value provided for the new password does not meet the requirements of length, complexity or the history of the area.

  As far as I know, I'm not usig a specific domain, have never been able to access Windows server 2008 to create an admin account. I don't know how to solve this problem. I am new to VMWare and Windows server 2008.

  Any suggestion to move forward and allow me to have access to the server via the console?

  Thanks in advance for your help, Claude

  This isn't really a problem with VMware, but more of a problem of Windows 2008 password complexity requirements.

  The account that she is not asking that you must change the password is the local administrator account.

  And you have tried in upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters?  Something like Win2008!@#$ maybe?

  Currently, the SATA in the BIOS option is on AHCI. Start Windows on the desktop without problem.

  Objective: Convert AHCI Raid mode. The integrated chipset to create a matrix to mirror with 2 x SSD.

  I downloaded the disk driver for this card and installed the Intel Rapid Storage driver/software. I reboot and switch the SATA Raid mode. Windows starts to load and immediately blue screens. Put the SATA to AHCI mode allows me to boot successfully.

  There are a few other drivers from the disc. Install these drivers, the windows are no longer boot in AHCI or Raid mode.

• Clone Windows Server 2008 VM, Sysprep?

  Aloha from Hawaii!

  I ran into a situation where I'm cloning a VM Windows Server 2008 R2. We have a basic vanilla installation, updates are performed, and Windows is enabled on this virtual machine. We also have an enterprise multiactivation license. The final goal is to be able to clone the virtual machine several times, insert the roles and give it an identity of the vanilla configuration.

  My question is:

  What are the steps so that the cloned VM work properly with the other cloned VM in the same installation of vanilla, but have different roles (application server, database server, etc.). I'm leaning toward the type Sysprep command.

  Mahalo!

  Hello Aloha808,

  Looks like you have already done most of the work to be done: you have an installation of base which is updated. You have a vCenter environment? This will allow you to turn this 'basic vanilla install' into a model. If you don't do this, you must clone the virtual machine and then make a sysprep manually (be sure to change the SID).

  If you have vCenter: convert this virtual machine into a template to use as server 'statue of gold"which will create other servers. Then, you create a customization specification. It is located in the vSphere Client under Home > Manager Customization specifications (here's a link with more information). Finally, make you a "deploy model" on the model, enter server information and then apply the customization to deployment. VMware will then sysprep for you.

  Here is an another good writeup on making a template with Windows Server 2008 R2.

• No blue screens SP1 Windows Server 2008 R2 after the deployment model

  Hi all

  I searched around forums and google to see if someone else has fallen on this, but I can't seem to find anything.  I have a 4.1 ESX 1 environment with vCenter 4.1 update 1

  I created a new system of Windows Server 2008 R2 and it patched for the last levels without SP1.  I cloned then it to a model.  When I deploy a server through this model with customizations (new SID), blue ect just system screens and goes in a reboot of the endess.  If I have the model with no customizations are deployed, it works fine.  It seems the new sid or something that's a waste.

  Any thoughts?

• Problems to use Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on ESX 3.5 U3

  I am having some problems with Windows Server 2008 R2.

  I was charged with the creation of 2 new Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. We have ESX 3.5 Update3. I found that in my attempts to put an address static IP in the virtual machine, the system crashes. If I leave the adapter to DHCP, it seems to work longer, but this obviously doesn't work. Just to be in the IP menu type in IP (do not hit OK or apply again) will cause the console screen lock.

  I found that since the release of ESX 3.5 U4 notes:

  x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems require Microsoft hotfix

  x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 without Microsoft hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950772 operating systems have a situation where the guest operating system is not responding and returns the following error:

  MONITOR of PANIC: vcpu-3: SAY vmcore/vmm/cpu/segment.c:430

  I was not able to find the error code in my ESX systems, so I can't confirm that I see the same question. I moved the virtual machine of 4 different hosts in the same cluster with the same results.

  Here are the best true - I built the virtual machine from scratch and configured 2 GB RAM, 1vCPU and 40 GB slim HDD put into service. With no OS, I cloned this config for the 2nd of 2 servers that I need to install. I traced the two VM 2008 R2 ISO we have on our Image data store. Both installed at the same time. Given their Unique IP and Machine names and joined them in the field. Once that ended, I migrated my cluster Corp Server2 to my cluster off site for DR purposes. The only change in config is the VLAN on the remote cluster.

  The two systems worked very well. As I returned to server 1 to start install application - lock. Reboot, login and lock. This is where I started to move the virtual machine to other hosts of the local cluster. I have found no point in troubleshooting, I'll just clone server 2. I deleted the name of the Server1 computer. Off of Server2, cloned it more to the local cluster. I then started without the NIC on so I could change the name of the computer, IP and add to the domain. This seemed to go well, I have been brought back online and start installing the application. Until I'm at the point of launch the installer app - lock.

  2 on the remote cluster server works smoothly. I have validated the ESX host on all host versions to make sure I was in the same field of play on both sides - check. No other Server 2008 seems to have this problem.

  I will delete and rebuild 1 server from scratch, but I don't see how I can do a clean install of ISO any different for the same hardware and best results.

  I checked the link to the fix for MS, but article reference Server 2003...

  Is there something that I am on?

  Addendum:-I find it strange that although I have 2008 R2 installed, the drop down menu to comments what OS in VM config allows only to 2008 (64-bit) for the selection nearest you. If you look at the field Server guest operating system in a nutshell, it says that NT 4.0 is installed. Is this just a problem of display text with this version, or a cause for concern? I found everything all the R2 are displayed as NT4 in the Summary tab.

  Corrections - it seems Server2 locks as well at the opening of the Server Manager window - I can see the "collection of data...» "downstairs. I had also opened the work center & gt; Properties window on top of the Server Manager window. VM has ceased.

  Addendum - I found that R2 the boot safe mode with networking to adjust the TCP/IP offload to disabled results in a locked VM when in network properties.

  2008 R2 is not on the official list of guests supported, and others have reported problems with it as well.

  With the help of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with a single platform of database Tier on Oracle 10 g Release 2 [ID 456197.1]
  
  The question is that:
  My source db is 10.2.0.3, during the remark, I need to create the home new oracle on win2008. I found 2 links for installation of db:
  
  Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition One
  
  Oracle Database 10 g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista x 64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x 64
  
  and
  
  Oracle Database 10 g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x 64)
  
  
  I wonder if possible to use Oracle Database 10 g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x 64) to win2008 too? or I need to download Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista x 64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x 64?
  
  PS: Do not forget I 10.2.0.3 on the source server

  Hi Alex

  Yes, these steps are correct, but after the third stage (backup (dbf) cold copy from source to target) thenyou need to make my third step above (3.Startup of the database with the mode upgrade as below) in my reply

  You mention below step:

  But in the note, he just says:
  Database of option C) migrate Windows 32-bit Windows Itanium or x 64 Windows

  To move the Windows 32 - bit Windows Itanium or x 64 Windows database, follow these steps:

  Copy the files (.dbf) database of the source on the target computer computer
  Copy the configuration of database init.ora and ifilecbo.ora files
  Change the configuration on the computer files target to reflect the new environment. In addition, the value systemtrig_enabled = false
  Startup of the database in nomount mode
  Recreate the database control files
  Upgrade the database from 32 bit to 64 bit (modules of pl/sql recompiles and change the size of Word) running utlirp.sql and utlrp.sql (in ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin /). See the sections use and notes in each of these scripts for instructions on how to execute them.
  Delete systemtrig_enabled = false of init.ora
  Stop and restart the database normally

  And don't forget it's db E - Business Suite, still belive that I need step 3? Coz he doesn't mention in the footnote, I just want to be sure my friend. Thank you for your understanding

  These steps are correct, there are no problems. I also wanted that same sweet Oracle is the same, it need compile and upgrade of database objects, due to this there version OS and architecture is different (32-bit and 64-bit). As you mentioned the upgrade of database you can instead of my third step as

  We need to buy Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition, unfortunately, is not available although wanted to confirm which edition of Windows Server 2012 devrais I buy to get the edition of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition downgrade but I found the information in your FAQ document, mentioned in Q15 I have to buy Windows Server 2012 Standard for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

  Q15. If I want to use the bits from a previous version or edition, what are my options?

  If you have Windows Server Datacenter edition 2012, you will have the right to downgrade your bits any earlier version or lower edition. If you have Windows Server 2012 Standard edition, you have the right to downgrade your forests to any previous version of Enterprise, Standard or Essentials editions.

  The ability to execute downgrade bits do not change licensing or support the terms in which you use the product; rights of the purchased product (Windows Server 2012) will apply. This means that the license will continue to wear two physical processors and virtualization of the rights do not change.

  Here are a few examples. License purchased	Downgraded version or edition	ILO rights that apply	License fees that apply
  Data Center 2012	Datacenter 2008	Datacenter 2008	Datacenter 20121
  Standard 2012	Enterprise 2008 R2	Enterprise 2008 R2	20121,2 standard

• How to install the ssl certificate in windows server 2008?

  Hello

  Can someone give me the steps to install the SSL certificate on my application hosted on windows server 2008 R2?

  Hello

  Although technet.microsoft.com should be the best forum for the problems of server below is a guide on how to install an SSL certificate.

  It will be useful.

  To install your newly acquired in IIS 7 SSL certificate, first copy the file somewhere on the server and then follow these instructions:

  1. Click on the start menu, go to administrativetools and click on Manager of Services Internet (IIS).
  2. Click the server name in the links on the left column. Double-click server certificates.

     

  3. In the Actions column to the right, click Complète Certificate Request...

     

  4. Click on the button with the three points, and then select the server certificate that you received from the certificate authority. If the certificate does not have a .cer file extension, select this option to display all types. Enter a friendly name that you can keep track of certificate on this server. Click OK.

     

  5. If successful, you will see your newly installed in the list certificate. If you receive an error indicating that the request or the private key is not found, make sure that you use the correct certificate and you install it on the same server that you generated the CSR on. If you are sure these two things, you just create a new certificate and reissue or replace the certificate. If you have problems with this, contact your certification authority.

     

  Bind the certificate to a Web site

  1. In the column of links on the left, expand the sites folder, and click the Web site that you want to bind the certificate to click links... in the right column.

     

  2. Click the Add... button.

     

  3. Change the Type to https , and then select the SSL certificate that you just installed. Click OK.

     

  4. You will now see the listed link for port 443. Click close.

     

  Install all the intermediate certificates

  Most of the SSL providers issue certificates of server out of an intermediate certificate so you will need to install the intermediate certificate on the server as well or your visitors will receive a certificate error not approved. You can install each intermediate certificate (sometimes there are more than one) by following these instructions:

  1. Download the intermediate certificate in a folder on the server.
  2. Double-click the certificate to open the certificate information.
  3. At the bottom of the general tab, click the install Certificate button to start the Certificate Import Wizard. Click Next.

     

  4. Select place all certificates in the following store , and then click Browse.

     

  5. Select the Show physical stores checkbox, then expand the Intermediate certificate authorities folder, select the below folder on the Local computer . Click OK. Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the installation of the intermediate certificate.

     

  You may need to restart IIS so that it starts the new certificate to give. You can verify that the certificate is installed correctly by visiting the site in your web browser using https rather than http.
