Need to buy R2 Windows Server 2012

Hello

I have a small business and want to host and manage my own website.

I downloaded and tried the trial version of windows server 2012 R2 and continue with it.

Looking at the structure of the price that I got confused there are several option about the licenses.

All I need is to manage

1 - My Web hosting to businesses.

2. DNS management

3 - remote Desktop to connect to the server.

Please can someone advise what would be the best option for me to buy the server without spending too much money.

Thank you

  • It is essential that I get as a basis for cloud computing if I buy Windows Server 2012 Essentials?

    In our small business we have Dell pc that we used as an exchange of mail for several years, and now we're looking to put new readers and also to get Windows Server 2012.  However, I said that I'd better get used to cloud computing as the main version "Will FORCE" do that to me...

    Is this correct?  What I want to do is have my 2 people connect and share files-, but not on a cloud?

  • T61 - Datacenter Windows Server 2012

    Hi all

    I need to install Windows Server 2012 Datacenter with Hyper-v installed on a Thinkpad laptop, because it is more durable compared to others, and I am planning buy Lenovo ThinkPad T61 with following specifications:

    Hello

    Looking system requirements here on the website of Microsoft, it seems that the T61 meets the system requirements to run Windows Server 2012, but it's largely because Microsoft does not seem to differentiate between the requirements for the Foundation, Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter editions.

    Personally, I would suggest to go with the bigger, more quick 2012-vintage (or most recent) laptop that I could find, for example a W520 or the W530.

    Kind regards

  • How to install windows server 2012 and windows 7 or 8 on the same computer

    Hi, I want to install windows 7 or 8 and on the same computer that I want to install windows server 2012 or 2008 I have not decide which one to buy again, and my question is, at the time where there was windows xp and windows me (x 9) for example, you must install first as millennial basic then install xp on another partition in my case I want to know is - it possible to do it without the virtual machine, and if this is the case, which windows must be installed first as the basis...

    Thanks a lot for taking time reading this, looking forward to your reply...

    You will need to ensure that the old version of Windows is installed first of all, in this case (Windows 7), then you can install Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 after on logical partitions. Please see the following:

    See the following for how to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8 (the same principles can also apply to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012)

    How dual boot Windows Vista/7 and Windows 8

    If you plan to have all three installed, make sure that configure you partitions in advance with ample space for all three.

  • Adobe Reader DC Windows Server 2012.

    Hello

    I try to find something about it, but I found nothing. Can someone tell me about the Adobe Reader DC Windows Server 2012 license in business? It s free for commercial use on server or not?

    Hi dfsafasfsafsafsa,

    Adobe Reader is a free software. You don't need to buy the license for the same thing.

    Choose Windows Server 2012 as your operating system, you can simply download the CD player from the below mentioned link:

    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions

  • Satellite P850 - 31 M - invalid key, the installation of Windows Server 2012

    Hello

    I don't know about or write about me, that it moves if necessary.
    So here's my problem.

    I just bought a laptop with the windows installation 8, but I want to install Windows Server 2012.
    I boot on my dvd, everything's fine, and then I click on install and then he told me that the key was invalid.
    But I do not enter a key.

    When I reinstall windows 8 I give no key and it did not in the property and after he told me that windows is activated.

    I don't understand the key or it will scan?
    I have how little he turns to me key?

    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, but I m confused.

    If you have purchased the license Windows Server 2012, then you have also a serial key.
    You must use this key for activation.

    Victory 8 regarding:
    I guess Win 8 was preinstalled.
    In this case, you will need to create a recovery disk before you install another system?
    You don't have any disk Win 8 because there was a possibility to create a recovery disk and the recovery disk contains a 8 win which is enabled.

  • Install OfficeJet Pro 8610 on Windows Server 2012

    Hello

    I'm trying to install the drivers for a Pro OfficeJet 8610 on a system running Windows Server 2012. I installed the drivers from here (after choosing Windows 2012 for the operating system): http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Officejet-Pro-8610-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/53...

    First of all, I tried to install using the GUI (Setup.exe) but ran into an error indicating that the operating system was not compatible.

    I did some research and discovered that these drivers must be installed by using the command line and the command msiexec.exe. I tried to do it by using the following command-line (with administrator privileges): msiexec.exe /i PATHTOMSI

    However, when I do that, it gives me ALWAYS an error of incompatible operating system. Don't know what to do here.

    Here is a link to the Post on the HP Forum explaining the need for a command line install: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/installing-Pro-8610-Windows-server-2008rt-X64/m-p/426...

    Thank you.

    I ended up soliving this problem myself while tinkering around.

    I went through the process of adding a new printer through the devices window and printers.

    I said my printer was not listend so opted to manually configure a printer. I have created a new local port and he just called the name of the printer. He then invited for drivers. I chose the disc and then navigated to the folder where I had extracted the printer drivers. Selected this file and the drivers installed.

    This example gets the drivers installed in the system. Windows should then automatically recognize/install the printer if it is plugged.

    Mind you, I had to do that only for printing on a desktop connection remote. If you need the real HP software installed to print AND scan, this will not work for this.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter: Activate the virtual machines on a host KVM

    Hello

    I bought four licenses for sale at retail of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. With the license of data center, I have the right to install a number of Windows Server R2 instances unmlimited 2012 on the physical machine with the associated license.

    The question now is: How can I activate Windows in virtual machines?

    As virtualization host, I use KVM, AVMA is not possible. I need a KMS host key to set up a KMS host. I tried to use my product key for the retail license but the VMAT does not accept the key, because it's a KMS - no key. Where should I paste my product key for the KMS host key?

  • Thumbnail option does not work in Terminal Server in Windows Server 2012 and server session

    This might be a stupid question.

    We have two Windows server 2012 R2 - TS and DC. The clients are connecting to TS and access the shared network drives present in DC. I always unchecked 'show icons, never thumbnails' and 'Show thumbnails in System Properties' enabled on DC and the two TS.

    No always thumbnail option.

    You will need to click on each image. Users have many files containing multiple images. It's annoying to click and view each image.

    Note: NO GPO is configured to block it. Checked.

    I can't find any object GPO to allow this option to be :)

    More info. For customers, anywhere, whether network shares or all folders in TS session. It does not work. Also tried painting and Windows Photo Viewer.

    Here, any help will be very appreciated!

  • Blue screen of death (0x0000003b) on Windows server 2012.

    Hello! I found a problem with windows server 2012. This server runs on a VMware virtual machine, and once of the month I get this error, but the drivers can cause this error all the time different.

    For the first time this problem caused the driver AgileVpn.sys, second and third time win32k.sys. And the last pilot time named videoprt.sys caused this problem.

    I spent a lot of time to search for a patch. But I have not found a necessary updates in Windows server 2012 r1 for this problem.

    Maybe give me a little help or tell me what I need to do?

    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)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2, R2 2008 update 12/08/2015 disabled asp classic download

    I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 running native IIS.

    The web server allows downloading files using just classic asp... no plug-ins or third-party add-ins.

    The two servers installed updates 09/12/2012 off the capacity of the web server to download files using classic asp. The base for the download method was created by freeaspupload.net, who has since disappeared.

    I rolled back these updates and downloading files works again.

    I can't be the only one stuck with a legacy application that needs this feature.

    Anyone?
