Server Essentials 2012 eval vs questions version complete

I volunteer for a small nonprofit. I'm helping them to set up a Server R2 windows 2012, (although we expect 2016 Server released before going live with this version

Currently, we have the server chassis, that we will use and it runs the 2012 R2 180-day evaluation version.

We have usb external 2 TB hard drives to use for backups.

Question 1:

Windows 7 helped you change your CD key after installation. If I get the server running with all the services you want, I could change the CD - key associated with version eval to emitted by MS when we get our license and just put the server into production?

Question 2:

If T1 is not, could I save the Eval Server installation, install the full server and restore the backup and accomplish the same thing?

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)

  • Requirement of DNS and DHCP Server Essentials 2012 home

    I have a Server Windows Essentials 2012 acting as DNS and DHCP server with a domain name for backups etc on my home network. It's that everything works fine, no errors, no problem. Works well actually, telling me when the children did not install updates or restarted.

    I have two groups of users. My sons step, 10 and 12, which I want to use OpenDNS as a provider external DNS with a policy very, very limited and my wife and me who want to use indications of root or Google DNS or any other DNS provider. Others, specific devices no user (box of the xBox, WII, Satellite, TV, CCTV etc.) can use.

    Before the 2012 server, I had a 2 k 3 server running in a virtual machine for DHCP, alone and put my wife and my devices on static reservations with the just and external DNS provider used OpenDNS as the default scope, DNS. Unfortunately different bits of domain services 2012 don't seem to work unless the server of 2012 is the first DNS server listed on client machines (backups failed. Impossible to find other local computers). Currently, this means that we are all using OpenDNS.

    What I would like is a way to say 2012 to send adult group DNS queries to another DNS provider and leave the rest at default to OpenDNS, while still having them register in the original DNS domain. Any suggestions?

  • Access no longer work after the abduction of (Server Essentials 2012 R2) Direct access

    Hello

    Ive been running around access to the company I work for, its been working well for almost a year.

    I removed a direct access and remote access via the menu "Roles and features" in the Server Manager, since then it is not working and when I try to Config/repair I get a message saying "anywhere access to your server is blocked.

    Ive updated the firmware on the router and the manual configuration of redirection to make sure it wasn't a problem with uPNP port

    Should I check that I can be removed when I removed direct access? Or what I need to change?

    I'm sure I did something stupid...

    So I set up a server and I had a client computer to connect to the server without problem. I can disconnect and different users access to different folders on entry-level servers. On the following client computer, I did the same steps, but now, when that I log out, I can't change what users, I use on the server, only the one that I used when I first booted the computer. The client computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium. Any suggestions would be nice.

  • When you access Server Essentials VPN 2012 site, users are unable to print locally.

    My company has a Server Essentials of 2012 in a building (A) and several Wi-wired clients and in another building (B). This is not a domain but a pattern of working group because they have a lot of PC which is not the pro version of the OS.  Both sites use routers rank consumption high range and NAT with an address range covering192.168.1.XXX.

    In building B, there is a wired multifunction printer.  Users can access the files via the VPN, but they cannot print locally.  When you're connected, ping the address of the printer fails.  If they disconnect from VPN they can print without problem.  VPN clients are configured in such a way that "use default gateway on remote network" is unchecked. "Enable NetBios over TCP/IP" is selected.

    In building A DNS is handled by the server, but in the B building, it is managed by the router.

    Is there a way around this problem?

    Is there a better place to ask this question?

    Thank you!

    It is indeed a better place to post: Microsoft Technet forums.

  • Nested error Server R2 2012 - "hypervisor does not work.

    Good afternoon

    I'm having some trouble from a virtual computer inside my 2012 R2 VM server. I search around the internet for a while find several articles and forums on how to configure nested visualization including the official document on these forums but I still have a problem.

    My configuration:

    Physical server running - ESXI 5.5 1623387

    Physical machine - dell R720 (2 x e5-2690 - supports the VT - X and the EPT and it is enabled in the BIOS, esxcfg confirms with '3')

    New VM - Server R2 2012, VM version 9 installation (created by the web console vmx-09)

    I added / tried every configuration option I found:

    -J' created the virtual machine console web and checked "expose hardware virtualization assisted for the guest OS.

    -I made that vhv.enable = "TRUE" in the vmx configuration

    -J' tried to add hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = 'FALSE' to the vmx configuration

    -J' tried to add vhv.allow and more vhv.enable in the/etc/vmware/config, but neither makes a difference (discovered he was not necessary later thanks to a post on this forum)

    -J' tried to set the name of guestOS to "winhyperv" in the .vmx file

    -J' tried the type parameter of "ESXi 5.x" guestOS in the thick client

    -J' set the cpu/mmu virtualiztion tick at the last

    -J' tried to set the registry values level 1 as seen here ecx

    -J' have ensured that monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware".

    -J' uninstalled the hyper-v role and reinstalled after you make these changes without result

    -J' tried an another 5.5 ESXi 1331820 host with these settings and it does not work (VT - X confirmed as well)

    -J' tried 2016 instead of 2012 R2 server and it does not work

    I think it's all the things I tried. I'm sure I've probably missed something very obvious, but any help would be appreciated.

    This specific virtual machine has not generated a vmware.log file but still one of my virtual machines to test (with the same exact questions on the second physical host) has generated a couple and I enclose you one of them, and more can be provided if necessary.

    Thank you!

    It seems that the latest Hyper-V does not like hardware virtual version 10.  However, it seems not be satisfied with version 11 of virtual equipment.

  • Server R2 2012 crashing when you deploy the stand-alone host model.

    I encountered a problem with my server 2012 model deployment to a new independent host that I built in my virtual data center.

    Specification of the server:

    HP DL380 g8 linking the latest PSP firmware updates

    Local storage

    ESXi 5.5 U2 may 2015 HP build

    Card 8 GB SD for esxi 1.9 local TB SAS storage

    HP P420i

    Whenever I have move R2 server in 2012 to that Server Manager host down and other questions are noticed.

    Another noticed is characters and text on the virtual machine begins to blurr from the console.

    If I power off the virtual computer and move it to a server in my group I have no problem. Both servers are running the same version of 5.5U2

    Has anyone seen this problem before or suggestions?

    The result of more tweaks and troubleshooting exposed a faulty processor.

    This isn't linked VM.

    Thanks for the reply.
