  • Downgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard for Windows Server 2008 Standard

    How can I make the downgrade of the Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard to Windows Server 2008 Standard?

    I know that the Server 2008 R2 is only x 64, but I need Server 2008 x 86, it's because I need the downgrade.

    Does anyone know the correct procedure to do this, or some e-mail to contact someone from Microsoft that could help me?

    Thanks for help

  • How to get right to downgrade to Windows Server 2008, if I buy window 2012 license

    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

    I would like to know how to install Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 Enterprise from a USB key, please.

    I'm not trying to run either on the USB key, I just need to know how to install from a USB key. I tried Multiboot, grub for DOS and other, but they do not seem to work :/

    I am going through a book that uses these two to form Microsoft MCITP: Server 2008 Administrator and if I could install these Via USB, this would save my records and a lot of hassle... basically just for convenience, as everything that I need will be on a stick * lol *.

    Otherwise, I'll have to use discs instead :)

  • PowerEdge 2850 - trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 from USB

    Hello

    Let me start with this: they gave me this server by a friend, and I thought it would be a very rewarding experience.

    I want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 from a USB key. I already formatted the USB drive by using diskpart and implemented the fat32 file system. Then I went on the Windows site and downloaded Windows Server 2008 R2, which is a NTI .iso file and which resulted in the new format USB key

    On the server, I already put 'Manage USB Controller - with bios' and changed the sequence of drive for the "emulated hard disk USB flash drive" at the top.

    Now on the screen of boot sequence, after the press for installation of BMC, he says ' remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart"

    What's not here? Shouldn't I see a Windows Server set up the screen? I'm not there is something very basic I'm missing, but any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Remove the USB when it restarts the first time :)

  • Uninstalling Oracle 11 g RAC from a Windows Server 2008 Server

    Try to uninstall Oracle 11 g RAC from a Windows Server 2008.

    Following the instructions: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e25666/rem_orcl.htm

    I was able to run the batch: C:\app\oracle\product > 11.2.0\dbhome_1\deinstall\deinstall.bat

    Last messages spoke uninstall successfully.

    However, I had problems trying to delete the folder directory. According
    Oracle forums, on Windows there are known problems this generic
    "svchost.exe" process blocks some Oracle DLLs at startup time. To solve
    the question that I followed the instructions:

    (1) rename %ORACLE_HOME%\bin to something else 2) reboot the machine 3) now remove the complete file

    Then I went to the registry and delete the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle

    Restart the machine.

    Problem is that Oracle Services still exists on Windows Services (services.msc). So I see it again:

    -Oracle Service object
    -OracleASMService + ASM1
    -OracleJobSchedulerINTER1
    -OracleOHService
    -OracleOraCrs11g_home1TNSListener
    -OracleOraCrs11g_home1TNSListenerLISTENER_SCAN1
    -OracleServiceINTER1
    These services link to executable files are deleted as:

    C:\app\11.2.0\grid\BIN\TNSLSNR

    because directory folder has been deleted.

    What should I do to remove these Windows services?

    Hello

    You can try the following command to remove services in windows server 2008

    Since the prompt command (run as administrator)

    Prompt > sc delete "service name".

    In this case, your command would look like

    Prompt > sc delete "Oracle Service object.

    Let me know if it helps

    See you soon,.

  • Installation of Windows Server 2008 from downloaded files

    I have a new server ESXi of nu metal and you want to install Windows Server 2008 remotely.

    I plan to download the Windows Server 2008 installer for the data store, but the user guide mentions the download an ISO file. I have the CD of Microsoft but not a single ISO.

    So my question is, can I download the contents of the CD or should I create a bootable ISP to get this installation started?

    MagicISO should be good do the job. You don't have to worry about doing whatever it is bootable. When you create an ISO image for a bootable CD/DVD already all these things start will appear in the image.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1451 USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

    I bought a HP Pavilion p7-1451 so I might have a machine that is affordable, yet powerful enough to put a server software development environment on (I'm a software engineer).

    It came with Windows 8, but I need Windows Server 2008 R2, I own through an MSDN subscription.  I did what I always do in these cases, re-partioned the hard drive, re-formatted and installed the new operating system.

    I have almost all devices work fine, but it still does not recognize the USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth device.  I looked everywhere but could not find something that works.  Whatever it either from the HP site is targeted for Windows 7 or 8 and trying one of those, it tells me "your system does not meet the requirements of the operating system" and MSI publishes all the drivers for this particular motherboard (that I can find anyway).

    Motherboard: MSI MS-7778, also known under the name of: MSI 2AEO version 1.0

    BIOS: FRIEND 8.12

    Here is the list of "other devices" in Device Manager that Windows does not recognize:

    BCM20702A0

    (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

    (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

    Bluetooth device ID: USB\VID_0A5C & PID_21F1 & REV_0012

    USB Controller device ID: PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7812 & SUBSYS_2AE0103C & REV_03

    Windows doesn't always recognize them after allowing him to look on the internet.

    I googled everywhere and I'm not getting anywhere.

    Does anyone have advice?

    Any chance that this could be linked to the BIOS?

    I'm not having any chance to find a BIOS download for this motherboard either.

    Any help is very appreciated!

  • Qosmio F30 audio driver for Windows Server 2008

    I'm only running a virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 installed. The server sees my Sound Driver, but it does not recognize it and ask for driver all the time. I tried running the installer of Sound Driver from the CD, but it didn't work, said: not supported operating system. I tried a driver all over the web and I found none. Can someone help to find this driver for me or let me know it it is possible to manually install this driver?

    I will be grateful for any help.

    As you probably know that Qosmio F30 is not designed to be used as a server and general support Toshiba doesn t Server2008. All you can do is to identify the manufacturer of the sound card and try to find the driver on its support page.

    Boyfriend sorry but that s all I can say about it.

    The HP site doesn't have any drivers for this desktop computer operating system:

    Please help!

    Hi Provost,

    Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the Ethernet drivers from the following link:

    http://www.driverscape.com/download/Atheros-ar8152-8158-PCI-e-fast-Ethernet-controller-%28ndis-6.20%29

    And it worked perfectly for me. I had another system (HP 600 g MT). I went to the Device Manager and checked the name of the Ethernet adapter. It is Atheros AR8152 / 8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20). Then I googled and found the link above was the driver.

    The graphics driver from the link you provided, I always download it now. Would return as soon as possible about that.

    Best regards
