VCenter on Windows Server 2008 R2 installation
I wonder if there could be problems installing VCenter on Windows Server 2008 R2? We also manage VMware View in our environment VSphere and plan that upgrade to the latest version. Anyone experiencing problems with the help of Windows Server 2008 R2 for VCenter?
We are running the most recent version of vCenter on Windows Server 2008 R2, and he's not going great.

PowerEdge 2600 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation problem
Hello.
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600 server. Here is the configuration:
BIOS version: A14
2 x Intel Xeon 2800 MHz 533 MHz, 512 k (SL6VN)
4 x 1 GB of RAM
2 x 146 GB (IBM-IC35L146UCDY10-0) in RAID1
6 x 147 Gb (Fujitsu MAP3147NC) in a RAID5 configuration
Firmware for the PERC 4/Di 2.52D
It has worked well during the installation of Windows Server 2000. But now I need to install Windows Server 2008 R2.
Here's the problem: when I boot server to Windows Server 2008 R2 installation DVD, it starts to load the files and after a few minutes shows an error (I copy the exact error number) who said he's trying to run the 64-bit application, but unfortunately, this processor does not support 64-bit applications.
I was able to find a download for Windows 2008 x 64 on the page Support of Dell PowerEdge 2600. This means that you can install an operating system 64-bit on this PE 2600, is it not?
I know that Windows Server 2008 x 64 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are different operating systems, but 64-bit is always 64 - bit.
Also, I know that Intel Xeon 2800 MHz 533 MHz 512 kb (SL6VN) is a 32-bit processor, but if it was delivered with these processors, and there are downloads for 64-bit operating systems exist, it should be able to install these operating systems.
Please tell us how can I install Windows Server 2008 R2 on the PowerEdge 2600.
Thanks in advance.
The list 2008 x 64 in the list of OS for the 2600 is clearly a typographical error / support/web content team:
- The 2600's chipset does not support ALL 64-bit processors
http://Ark.Intel.com/products/27741/Intel-E7501-memory-controller - No. 6 systems are supported on 64-bit OS - not all listed here, but the 6600 lists NO 64-bit OS (8 G was the first):
http://advisors.Dell.com/AgileWeb/iDrivematrixView.aspx - 2003 x 64 is not no more, which would be if 64 bits have been supported all the
You pay for 2008 x 86 as the latest OS on 2600... or get a newer server (starting with the 8th generation of servers as the PE 2800) to operate 2008R2.
"2008R2 is a 64-bit operating system that is not as forgiving as 2008 x 64 on the execution of threads of 16 bits."
16-bit applications are not supported in 64-bit operating systems:

12 c R1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 installation
Hello
I had a bad idea - try the new database.
So:
(1) oracle DB files download, but the download (lost Wi - Fi - my fault), but the authentication token has expired and I have to redownload the 90%.
(2) installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition (I want to install the English version, but I had a Russian only)
(3) spend a lot of time to install and used to install.
I made a few attempts (each with a new operating system installation):
with or without UAC, network drive / local, class desktop/server, existing/new user, each editions, the two charset... But all have failed.
Installation view like this popup errors:
' DIM-00019: service to create error '.
S/O-error: (OS 1387)? ??????? ???????? ??? ??????? ????? ????????? ??????, ??? ??? ?? ?? ??????????. "

java.io.IOException: cannot run program "null\rdbms\bin\kfod.exe": CreateProcess = 2 error? ??????? ????? ????????? ????"
Any ideas what will take for the installation of success?

I have setup a new vCenter to replace the old (new on MS server 2008, an old man on MS server 2003), but after registering the VM´s, I am not able to connect to them with the console. Error message: unable to connect to the MKS: Timeout during an attempt to read
If I connect directly to the host ESX 4 it works fine.
Is that what someone has any ideas, how to solve this problem? I have already tried:
-Added the new vCenter address and IP to the/etc/hosts
-restart the ESX servers
-Re-installed VMware tools to the new vCenter
None of the above has helped, and I start to desperate... Anyone have an idea?
If you use vcenter to manage your servers from another computer. You should try to disable the windows firewall on the vcenter computer that manages the esx server. He worked for another problem in the past. Windows firewall started blocking applications of mks someday and we don't know why. Allowing exceptions in windows firewall did not work if the firewall has been turned off completely and then it worked.

Windows Server 2008 R2 installs on ESXi 4
I have a setup of ESX4 full blown at the headquarters, but we have an ESXi 4 just put us in a remote desktop (thanks to win a bunch of servers because of virtualization in the first place).
This remote ESXi 4.0 server is for D.R. tests really, but I wanted to test the new DFS on Server 2008 R2 / branch Cache and all that jazz between the two sites.
The problem is that the Server 2008 R2 will not be installed. The start screen shows
File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000035a
Info: Attempt to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.
Well, it's a processor 1.86 GHz Xeon 5120 and according to Intel, it IS 64-bit compatible:
http://Ark.Intel.com/product.aspx?ID=27215 & Processor = 5120 & Spec-codes = SL9RY, SLABQ, SLAGD
Heck, the original server COMES with a license for Windows Server 2003 64-bit.
Is this a limitation with ESXi? Should we go full blown ESX to run this? The server is an HP ProLiant DL360 G5 server.
Thank you!
I forgot to mention. Enabling hardware virtualization in the BIOS may require a power cycle not only reboot.

Hello
I have a newly installed ESXi 4.1 - 260247 on a Fujitsu - Siemens GROUND RX300 S4 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 @ 2.5 GHz with 36 GB of RAM.
Storage controller is a LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 6 x 750 GB SATA - drives configured with 3xRAID-1 logical drives. BIOS Version 4.06 Rev 1.04.2519
Now, I'm trying to install "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit" in a virtual machine, but fail because the virtual hard disk cannot be found.
I tried with all Types of SCSI controller, but when running of the "Create Virtual Machine"-magician, he suggests 'LSI Logic SAS'. "." I tried 'LSI Logic parallel' and "VMware Paravirtual" but it did not work. However, I have not tried "Parallel BusLogic", since it clearly says no "recommended for this guest operating system".
I was unable to find documentation on how and where I can find the "LSI Logic SAS" - pilot to be able to continue the installation. The
Windows Server 2008 R2 installation is an ISO obtained directly from Microsoft eLicensing.
I also downloaded the drivers floppy 'pvscsi - Windows2008.flp' and 'vmscsi.flp' from the ESXi server, but the program finds no driver validates the installation of Windows on them.
I also extracted files "windows.iso' of the ESXi machine, but not drivers there as well.
So my question is, what model is the "LSI Logic SAS", I guess I can download these LSI directly, I need to know what model?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you!
Kind regards
Christian
chrkad,
I think you have the same problem I had. Trying to install 2008 R2 and asked for drivers?
The issue wound up being an ISO corrupt Ms.
Try to download the ISO using the java-based download manager. This will tell you if your download is getting disturbed, as mine was. It will also be the image once completed to ensure you've got the whole thing of checksum. Just download via HTTP does not.

Hello and welcome to the forums.
This server is also a domain controller? Installation on a domain controller is not supported and will not work.

vCenter totally blocked by the firewall of windows server 2008.
I installed vcenter server on windows server 2008 R2 and windows firewall blocks for her communication (port 80/443/389). I checked and there are clear rules in the firewall that allow traffic as vcenter put there during the installation. But the server does not allow traffic only.
If your windows machine is a member server in your windows AD it have up to 3 profiles of different firewall (public, private, domain,). Do not forget that all the rules part of the 'area' or better 'public' profile If windows cannot reach a DC windows during startup it does not use the firewall profile 'area' and you cannot access the services of vcenter in this case.

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.

Create a Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD for Installation of the EFI
Is there an official method of production of compatible installation media EFI for Windows Server 2008 R2.
I created successfully using a rough method to recreate an iso using the original media and oscdimg.exe set out in a number of unoffical positions elsewhere. However, I ran into another issue that fits the description that is described in the following article.http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/975535
I expected that the fix provided in this article would have been incorporated in SP1 of Server 2008 R2 version, but has been unpleasantly surprised to find that there was still no support. I'm more than happy to include the fix in the media but it seems that the files are identical apart from the creation date.
I have completely updated the firmware of my server to set the server up to EFI Shell Version 2 which I hoped would solve some problems, but this did not help either.
It seems EFI will be the way forward because of size limits of hard drive on startup disks until when can we expect a real sollution?
If anyone has any experience with this issue so any help would be greatly appreciated.
