Extended support of Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello team,

The extended support for Windows Server 2008 R2 apply for new licences or for only those who has a license purchased before the end of Mainstream Support Date?

I was at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=windows%20server%202008%20R2&Filter=FilterNO&wa=wsignin1.0 where he talks about Mainstream and Extended support but I did not understand how works extended support.

This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Consolidation of support for Windows Server 2008

    In the statement of support for vSphere for Server 2008 clustering, he mentions that the two nodes of 2008 should not belong to a cluster HA/DRS.  We currently have our cluster designed to accommodate all guests (HA/DRS active) in the data center.  Excluding the HA/DRS features for VMs individual cluster node, will support us?

    TIA

    -Rick

    The documentation is that if you have virtual machines in a cluster HA/DRS then you don't are not supported.  You will need to disable these functions on the entire cluster for real assistance.  That said, I have this configuration and have been able to call VMware to support without problem.  This does not mean that you will have the same experience, but my guess is that they would support you if necessary.

    You can also see fault-tolerant VMware (FT), but you must understand the differences between MSCS and FT.  If you're upgrading clustering an application such as Exchange, I wouldn't use FT and would use rather MSCS.  Everything depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what fits best. Also remember that FT does not provide protection at the hardware level, so a lack of application level would be replicated on two virtual machines.

    Hi all

    Is there a statement of official support from Lenovo to Win2008 R2 running on the W520? I had a lot of problems to operate correctly on the W500 and don't want to fall into this trap...

    Kind regards

    I was able to install without problems until I returned my W520. The only thing that didn't work was the bluetooth.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 after trying to make a backup of Buffalo Linkstation no start

    A colleague logged the buffalo linkstation to our server and tried to save her. Something has gone wrong (the backup was not completed) and the server restarted. Now it starts (the scroll bar ends and after it I see the mouse cursor in the black screen) and after a few reboots seconds. I can't disable the auto restart after system failure in the bios (there is no such function). And this isn't a hardware problem (I connected the HDD on another machine and the result was the same).

    I tried fixboot, fixmbr, rebuildbcd comands in command prompt and they have all successfully completed, but the error still exists. Maybe someone has had this or a similar problem and knows the solution?   Thanks in advance!

  • Drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

    PE1950, 2950 and MD3000i MPIO on Windows Server 2008 R2

    We're trying to nail a few dates to migrate our W2K8 R2 platform and plan the project.  We have most of our technical plans in place, and we have the code.  We have no Dell drivers however and there are several suspicious communications from Dell on this topic...

    Case #1: http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/insideit/archive/2009/08/10/ready-for-the-transition-dell-provides-support-for-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

    Note:

    • Our engineers have missed on countless piano recitals, songs and episodes of American Idol while spending thousands of hours of testing and validation to make sure that dy products Dell running Windows Server 2008 R2 are the business-rea.
    • We have pilot complete support for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Dell hardware so you can deploy, run and manage easily. You can go here to download the drivers.

    If you view the service labels in our support of similar product groups, you will find an R2 option for servers... but the only public services on the PowerVault MD3000i you don't find any reference to R2 at all.

    Case #2: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Supportted+Dell+PowerEdge+Systems+for+Microsoft+Windows+Server+2008+R2+Beta

    This is a list of Beta for PE obviously compatible servers, however it would make sense If Microsoft has included natively the right drivers for the Dell hardware in the distribution of Microsoft R2 RTM so, just can't find any supporting documentation and do not know if the network drivers are compatible with MD3000i.

    #3: There are a few hacks to get drivers Windows 2008 MPIO inherited working with the RC R2 & MD3000i on this forum, but no reference to R2 in the MD3000i matrix and nothing on the site... it's why, we have wondering again where are the good drivers for R2 RTM?

    Can you be it someone from Dell and or this forum please send information on these issues?

    #1: driver compatibility of matrix for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on PE1950 and connected to an MD3000i PE2950 is a supported configuration?  (Code R2 RTM was released to Microsoft volume license customers)

    #2: the network drivers for the host machines included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM?  If this is true, are the drivers MPIO for MD3000i and iSCSI Dell other platforms included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM as well then?

    #3: If all the answers are not questions #1 and #2... could someone PLEASE contact people of pilot certification on Dell to see if they are same in QA at this point, if they plan to update and display an estimated date of implementation?  We have contacted tech support, but received very vague answers on anything with R2 at this stage.  There is a business directory and a path to escelation for support tickets, but the midrange as this makes it much easier to share information for the masses, we just have not yet found.

    Thanks for your information, comments and your support!

    I was finally sent to someone who could give me some information on this within Dell, here's what they said:

    PE 1950/2950 drivers:

    The pilot should be included natively in Windows Server 2008 R2 media, and if so, would these drivers would be supported by Dell in a production scenario.

    MD3000i:

    I know that we will not issue a new MDSM which will fund 2008 R2 until sometimes in October. The MD3000i requires MPIO to the MD3000i and Dell drivers driver installation to work properly. I'll see if there is other information that I can find. I understand your frustration and engineer told me that this has been corrected in the next MDSM and MD3000i firmware version in October.

    So, it looks like October before MD3000i will be supported.

  • OM_5.4.0_Man_Node_A01.msp installation fails (Windows Server 2008 x 64)

    I can't get it to load the patch installer. Of course, life would be easier if Dell has released a proper version of OpenManage (with support for Windows Server 2008 x 64).

    Here are the instructions...

    Application of the Service Pack
    1 double-click the MSP file or enter the following in a command prompt window:
    MsiExec.exe /p OM_5.4.0_Man_Node_A01.msp

    And the error message...

    Windows install

    The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer because the program to be upgraded is may be missing, or the upgrade patch may be a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.


  • Solution for Windows Server 2008

    A requeat is considering implementing the standard in Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-v to install and run a VM on the server.

    What may be another solution based on VMware technology (to keep some existing based .vmx VMs)?

    VMware Player might be a solution, but I read that it is "free for personal use": how it can be run in a business environment?

    VMware Server is free as well, is it supported in Windows Server 2008?

    What an alternative if they consider?

    Concerning

    Marius

    Hello.

    VMware Server is free as well, is it supported in Windows Server 2008?

    Windows 2008 Standard and Enterprise Edition (32-bit or 64-bit) are supported.

    What an alternative if they consider?

    Free ESXi may be another option to look at.

    Good luck!

  • Oracle 10g to install on Windows server 2008 R2 (6.1)

    Hi all

    I am trying to install Oracle 10 g on windows Server2008 R2 (6.1), but it gives an error that OS is not supported. I tried to install below version.

    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0)
    Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista x 64, Windows Server 2008 x 64,
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64, Windows 7 x 64

    But it fails with the error that OS version 6.1 is not supported. On the download page, does it say for 10.2.0.5 patch of My Oracle support for windows server 2008 R2, I patch p8202632_10205_MSWIN - x 86-64 but it requires an oracle pre-installed home.

    So, how can I install Oracle 10 g 10.2.0.4 don't settle and the patch requires a previous installation?

    The reason why I want to install Oracle 10 g is our Java application is running in production on JDK 1.4 and Oracle 11 g provides not for JDK 1.4 JDBC driver, there is a JDBC driver for Oracle 11 g that can work with JDK 1.4?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Best regards!

    simpler is to use IgnoreSysPrereqs - key to avoud system check.
    more complex - locate the file oraparam.ini under your dstributive db installation directory and edit the string

  • 11 GR 1 material OBIEE and Windows Server 2008

    Hello
    I tried to decipher certification matrices but came short and thought I would ask here.
    OBIEE 11 GR 1 material is certified to run on Windows Server 2008 64-bit? That is to say if it will support Oracle?


    See you soon,.

    Easy points: P

    Hi kremer,.

    OBIEE 11 GR 1 material is certified to run on Windows Server 2008 64-bit? That is to say if it will support Oracle?

    OBIEE 11 g is supported on Windows server 2008 64-bit, but component RCU is only supported on 32-bit windows and 32-bit should be downloaded from the oracle site.

    (2) IE 7 supports only with OBIEE 11 g, the suggestion is go with MOZILLA 3 or higher.

    This has answered your question.

    See you soon,.
