64-bit operating systems:

Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2008

I have have.Net Framework 3.5.1 features and SQL Native Client is installed. See attached screenshot.

Did you accidentally activated the role of domain controller for this server? vCenter Server cannot be installed on a domain controller.

  • Cannot install the vCenter 4.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit

    I have a brand new installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64 bit, but when I try to install vCenter Server 4.1, I get a window with the message following (screenshot attached):

    This product can only be installed on operating systems for 64-bit at the following address:

    Windows XP SP2 or higher

    Windows 2003

    Windows 2008

    I checked the compatibility matrix before I started and he says vCenter 4.1 is compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2. I checked the community boards and the knowledge base but have not met anyone else having this problem. Am I missing something, perhaps a Windows role or service before installing vCenter necessary?

    Is it a controller AD? You can not install vCenter Server on an AD DC.

  • 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.

    The same driver as expected for any operating system like Windows 7 or 8 must be used, however, the installation should be launched via the command line and not as a standard installation.

  • SITE v2.0 failed Installation on Windows server 2008 R2 with SP1

    Installing CPID v2.0 on Windows server 2008 R2 with SP1, the Setup log reported that the installation failed with the error "CustomAction RollBackSccmComponents returned error code 1603"

    I run the Setup with this command after you open the command prompt as 'Run as administrator ':

    MsiExec.exe /i Dell_Client_Integration_Pack.msi

    I even put the command above into a batch file and run it with the same result. With the help of Trace32, I also found this error to be the main problem causing the failure of this facility:

    "custom action InstallSccmComponents unexpectedly closed the hInstall (type MSIHANDLE) handle provided. The custom action must be set to not close this handle.

    Autour Googling, I came across this link: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/f/4448/t/19416814.aspx to try to perform the steps below, but when I did the steps below, the installation just rolled back without even beginning the installation:

    Steps in the link above:

    "We have found this to be a problem with the way that the custom action is running in the MSI file, it is executed in the context of the user who was unable, we changed this to run in the context of the system that solved the problem. To do is relatively simple;

    First unzip the files from the downloaded executable deployment package. Then, download Orca here, http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/07/12/180792.aspx. Once installed Orca, do a right click Extract MSI and select, "Edit with Orca. Once Orca lance, do not panic, just click on the top menu and select, "Transform", then select "Transformation." Then go to the 'Custom Actions' Table on the left and find the "InstallSccmComponents" entry on the right; Change the value in the column "Type" 3073, then go to "transform", "Generate Transform", save the transformation in the same directory as your MSI and select, and then close Orca.

    To install, use the following command line;

    Thank you

    I found myself by opening a ticket with Dell to get this problem finally solved. After the installation of Dell's Support log shipping, they asked me to follow these steps below:

    1 if the SQL DB is on a separate machine, try to create the "SMS_TaskSequence_Action" class in WMI under \\.\root\sms\site_ >.  You can download WMI Explorer to browse if you want to see if this class already exists.  Run the script below will not hurt if it already exists.

    a. here are the instructions to create the custom class.  First open powershell as an administrator.

    b. set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned

    c. change the extension on the attached in .ps1 file and change the file to replace the "site_abc" by "site_their 3 letter site code.

    d. change the storage location of the ps1 file.

    e... \WMIClassAdd.ps1

    f. restart and try the installation again.

    3. If it still does not work, send me the newspaper install again to look at.

    Note:

    Here is what was in the attachment in step C.

    ****************************************************************************

    $newClass = ' new-Object System.Management.ManagementClass

    ("root\sms\site_abc", [String]: empty, $null);

    $newClass ["__CLASS"] = "SMS_TaskSequence_Action";

    $newClass.Qualifiers.Add ("Static", $true)

    $newClass.Put)

    *************************************************************************

    After you run the instructions above and restarted the server, installing v2.0 CPID ended successfully.

    I hope that these instructions will help someone in the future... :))
