Server 2008 R2 to Server R2 2012

Hello

I need to upgrade our server running R2 R2 2008 to 2012.  Our current Server 2008 is the DC and active directory.  I find a lot of articles speaking to join in 2012 to a field and then making the DC, but not much on how to upgrade the actual server.  I would like to be able to do this without having to rebuild the AD.

Any suggestions out there of experts?

Thank you

Brandon

  • USB redirection works with a view Windows Client that connects to a Pool of RDS running Server R2 2012

    I installed the Agent view Horizon (6.0.0) and direct view connection Plugin (6.0.0) on a physical server running Windows Server R2 2012 with desktop Services remotely active.  I would use the USB redirection from the client to the server.   When I connect to the remote desktop session by using the Windows Vista client, he tells me that the USB redirection is disabled.   I tried connecting the View Client to the server view connection and directly to the RDS Server with the same result.  I need to activate RemoteFX on the Windows Server running RDS for USB redirection to work?  I don't have any hardware remotefx, that's why I have not yet tried.

    USB redirection is not supported on the RDS (2008 or 2012) guests in Horizon 6.0.

  • Service Update Manager 5.5 crashing on Windows Server R2 2012

    Hello

    I try to get VUM 5.5 1 c working on a Windows Server R2 2012, but without a bit of luck.

    Everything installs correctly, Setup detects 32-bit DSN pointing to our SQL 2008 R2 server and database connectivity works. However, as soon as I am scanning an ESXi host available updates the vSphere VMware Update Manager service fails and a dmp file is created under C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware update Manager\Logs.

    Just to be sure I installed Crossover on another server in W2K12R2 own, but the end upwards with exactly the same problem. When I install the product on a Windows Server 2008 R2, it works very well.

    According to the VMware 5.5 VUM compatibility matrix works with W2K12R2, but this isn't for me.

    I enclose the vum-vmware-server log file that contains information about the accident of service.

    Hello world. We have problems in the domain controller with Windows Server R2 2012 in the VM that it helps domain users to connect to the DC remotely with admin rights. We have already allowed group policy by default on the management of the user rights that allow remote only for domain administrators. We did not refuse access, because the new user must be added to each new user creation. We do not want to use distribution of the Group deny. is it possible to access remotely to DC?
