VCenter OS of Windows 2008 R2 update to Windows R2 2012

I'm looking at upgrading my server vCenter for R2 2012 Windows, I do this as an upgrade output up, so I the Windows 2008 R2 machine fails on if I have problems, I will use the same IP and host name. Something that crossed my mind is the fact that we are not on the latest version of vCenter, I think that we are currently on 5.5.0 and the latest version is now 5.5.0u1c.

Our database is sitting on another server, so when I was about to reinstall vCenter pointing to the database without overwriting, migration one thing I'm not sure of could also upgrade vCenter while making this gesture, so in theory circulates the latest installation of 5.5.0u1c as opposed to 5.5.0 on the new 2012 R2 Windows Server?

It is up to you. What you want to install. You can directly install a newer version of the software on the new host to vCenter vCenter. It will install binary vCenter costs and upgrade the database.

Both options will work. Make sure before you install the backup DB server vCenter take as it is recommended. If something goes wrong, you can restore and try again.

Thank you

  • 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?

    I get this error message when you try to update SQL Server 2008 R2 update error: WindowsUpdate_84b20001.

    I have a suggestion for the knowledge base to rename the file %systemroot%\System32\Spupdsvc.exe in Spupdsvc.old, but the file does not exist in the first place. It's actually a fix for the problem 84b2000B, and my problem is code b 84, 20001.

    I also tried with FixIt but it meets av problem and cannot continue. No message about it though.

    When searching for the community I have fnd no obvious solution. I had this problem since September 2011 and the daily update fails every day since then. I have about 2 GB of free space (total Congress GB 139) on the HDD, 4 GB of RAM and is running Windows Vista on a laptop HP Compaq 6715 b (old since I bought this as a new computer at my retailer in December 2007). I use AVAST anivirus but he seems to have nothing to do with the problem of to. I also have drivers and firmware for hardware updated latest version a week ago but nothing seems to help.

    I also have problem installing SQL server Express. And cannot install Visual Studio 2010 Pro SP1 probably as a couse direct of this installation failure.

    Suggestions how proceed in diagnosing this problem help no doubt at some level. I'm completely stuck now.

  • vCenter Simple install on Windows Server 2012

    Hello

    I try to install vCenter with Simple installation on an instance of Windows Server 2012 Standard virtual.

    But the installation completely hangs when installing SQL Server 2008 R2 on the vCenter Single Sign On package installs.

    Progress of the installation comes to: Install_sql_engine_core_inst_Cpu64_Action and a stand for a couple of hours now and no activity of the CPU on this process.

    I will attach a screenshot.

    Its not so bad. I did several times. What to install. Ex: SSO, the inventory Service, vCenter Server and web client is enough car radio.

    Well, I would consider making the following if you have an existing database of VC.

    -Take the DB backup file.

    -Install SQL and restore the DB on the new server.

    -Install the VC and connect ODBC etc...

Installation seems successful outside of Windows Update, the inability to run, the slightest error in the error 80240440, which seems to indicate that the remote connection has been terminated. I checked that other PC (Windows 8) can successfully run Windows Update, it seems that the problem is limited to this Server 2012 machine. Anyone can suggest a solution or approach I want to install other software, until the installation works properly.

  • How to update the model of RDS for Windows Server 2012 collection?

    Hi team,

    I want to know how to update the collection of RDS model (model master sysprep) which is used to create the collection?

    I tried the below way but did not get the update of the collection of virtual machines.

    -Start the image of mater of sysprep

    -install the required components

    -resysprep the image and stop it

    -East went to the RDS Collection and added new virtual machines in collection (removed the old his)

    Once created, I opened a session in the machines, but I don't see the updates (I installed some software in the sysprep image however and no is not there in the virtual machines in the pool)

    Can someone let me know if I need to create a whole collection again or the way I do it is a proper way? If it's a good way what could be the reason why I get the new installed software model sysprep image in virtual machines created in the pool, based on the model?

    How do we actually updated for security and other regular patches updated in virtual machines? In my view, we use the same approach?

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hello

    Not quite same as 5.1

    The important thing here is that if your CSP is separated deployed and your CV is a virtual machine then you can shut it down, take a backup of SQL DB and a snapshot of the virtual machine and then build a VC again on a new virtual machine with the same information.

    Just install the components of vCenter and link it to your existing DB. If this does not work, then off the VM, restore your SQL DB and turn your old vCenter.
