• MS win Server R2 2012 and Hyper-V issue licenses

  My company has 60 employees (and 60 desktops / laptops) and currently have an old principle that server solution of Microsoft Basic with element a cloud as Office 365 for email only. We seek to reduce the estate of server to Server (2 CPU - Dell PowerEdge T610), it currently runs on two old but not sterilized systems running Windows Server 2003 R2 (Dell PowerEdge 2900) and Windows Server 2008 R2 (Dell PowerEdge T610).

  In the short term, we want to create a brand new installation of MS Windows Server R2 Standard edition 2012 who will manage our advertising (and DC) and support businesses main accounting IRIS software that requires a MS SQL DB. This cloud all must be configured to allow integration with MS Azure Site recovery to allow us to turn up in the azure of the VM disaster. In my view, this means that the configuration of the OS as a Hyper-V virtual machine instance.

  The new server Win 2012 R2 has not really be a VM as its only one instance that I need, but from what I can make out, I need to make a virtual of Hyper-V machine to join the recovery Site of France. I can't determine exactly what license I need to achieve however. Any help would be appreciated.

  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)

• Can we use Windows Server Standard 2012 license on Windows Server 2008 R2 to company where some applications do not work?

  Hi support them.

  We intend to buy a new license for Windows Server Standard 2012 that we have been informed of this business license Windows Server 2008 R2 are no longer available. But where some of our applications do not work on the new OS, can we still use the new license if we intend to install Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2? Appreciate your response.
  Best regards

• FT-record/replay feature is not supported by this virtual machine Windows Server 2012

  Recently I came across a bug when I created a virtual machine with the latest versions of 5.1.0 - ESXi 838463, Client ver 5.1.0 - 860230, vCenter ver 5.1.0 - 880146.  If you create a virtual machine on a Server Windows 2012 farm for some reason any recording/playback is disabled and you cannot implement fault tolerance mode.  I found a good solution.  You delete the virtual machine to inventory, and then re-create the virtual machine as a Windows 2008 R2 server and use the virtual machine that you deleted from the original disc of the inventory rather than create a new one.  Then turn on FT.  Then, go into the settings and change the operating system to Windows Server 2012.   Fixed a problem.  If all goes well they will fix this soon.

  Jimmy S.

  Default adapter for windows 2012 is E1000E, which is not supported for RecordReplay FT.  If this is the case can you please try with another network card and see if it helps.

  If this is not the case, can you please upload vm-support bundle or file a support ticket.

  Thank you

• Virtual Server Center down and as its also the license server, it cannot start

  I have the virtual center server which is also the license as a virtual machine server. We had problems with the SAN today and decided to move this server to local storage in the case of other issues during the weekend, until we can diagnose/solve the problems of SAN. However, it will not start back up to stop the virtual machine to move (no installation storage vmotion again) and complains that cannot see the license server, the license server's so how can we start it?

  I tested stop this server before and to work around the problem, then we have just activated evaluation mode, the server restarted, and he returned to the license server mode when it was high, but he used to do that now and I can not start any vm at all and since most of them failed because of problems with SAN storage I need to get this resolved as soon as possible. The difference between when we tested before and now 4 months and update 3 has been applied recently.

  How do I start the server in its current or is configuration - it is no longer possible to use the evaluation mode and we do the licensing of other words, IE non-virtual?

  ......

  I managed to start the server using VM Player running in another physical server, but this is not an ideal long-term solution, but out me an affair until we solve this problem.

  Many people run in this mode.

  As a backup, just getting up an another license server using your existing key.  Point the ESX host with virtual machine on it to the 'temp' license server by connecting to the host ESX directly with the VI Client.

  Back up the virtual machine.

  Change license server address that you modified on the back of ESX host.

• Stuck to the configuration of the license server to the virtual Center

  Hi all

  I tried to configure VI3 on my laptop and did almost all the configurations below

  I created as a result of VM on my laptop on Vmware workstation 6.5

  -2 Esx 3.5 Server

  -1 open run VM SAN

  -Center Virtual Win2k3 VM

  Everything is going well so far the esx servers start in 5 minutes and SAN targets are visible. But I don't see the Vmotion option on my virtual Center Server (probably because I n, t configured license server).

  I try to add the file licesnse to the file licsencse on the server of VMware, but still no help. I din, t get any mail from vmware with licenses in so attachment.

  anyidea what can be done here?

  Thanks in advance

  Anuj

  Hello

  Okay, I think that the license server is already there.

  is how to enable vmotion

  in each of your esx hosts

  go to the tab slot-> choose the networking-> click Properties of the vSwitch that is connected to your network vmotion (it must be a network of vmkernal)-> select the vmotion network in the new window and click on edit-> click on the box where it says enable vmotion.

  do this for both servers.

• Server R2 2012 on ESXi 5.1

  I'm building a test lab and I managed to install Server R2 2012 but I'm unable to activate.  During the activation process, you receive an error from slmgr '0xc004fd01' and when you google you get nothing.  Then I ran the command 'slui 0x2a 0xc004fd01' and received the details of «Windows is not running on a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization platform» supported  I've never seen a Windows OS essentially prevent it be enabled on VMware.  Someone at - there a work around for what I would try Server R2 2012 in order to test out new features and think it's weird that I could use it only on Hyper-V.

  

  Hi Chdecarl01,

  Thank you for reporting this issue.  What is the nature of the product key you use to activate the comments?  The activation keys for automatic Virtual Machine (AVMA) article on automatic Virtual Machine to activate TechNet should raise an error like that, unless the client is running in Hyper-V.

  See you soon,.

• Local server connect to a domain license server

  I have a server terminal server running under windows 2012 locally (domain a)

  My license server is running on windows 2012 arrived in the area. Forest mode

  I try to establish a connection between the 2 of them and it fails.

  ***

  To identify possible licensing issues, the administrator for the server monserveur.com license credentials are required

  ***

  When I provide a credentials area, it works and it reboot after failure. (No domain server)

  I even try to use a local (not domain) administrator account to connect to the license (supported in domain) server and fail too.

  I have no problem if you are using windows 2008.

  Anyone experience this before?

  Thank you

• 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?

• Video conference will operate without a license server TP and conductor?

  Hi all

  We need POC for video conferencing with Cisco Jabber on desktop. The scenario is similar to that we have CUCM 10.5 running in the trial license and server TP and TP driver running on the virtual machine without a license.

  We will reach videoconference without license server TP and conductor?

  Thank you & best regards

  Louis Nithin.

  Conductor Essentials can run without licenses, it offers all the functions of conductor but is limited to 1 bridge Conference and no grouping, refer to table 1 in the conductor datasheet for more information.

  TelePresence Server requires licenses to operate, you will need to purchase a license for the software, so it can be activated, as well as wallpapers or multiparty license licenses.  Screen licenses are per participant and installed on the telepresence server itself, while the multi-party licenses are either user or conference of base that are installed on the conductor.  Refer to the presentation of the product just above 1 Figure in the data sheet of the telepresence Server about the screen and the multiparty licensing options.

• Number of virtual machines per server

  This number varies greatly with the type of workload and of (among other variables) network connectivity, but what would you say is a common number of virtual machines running on a particular server (NIC10 G ) platform? 10? 20? 40? The number of sockets/cores on this server?

  Any contribution is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey Ex,.

  This issue of $ 1 million has been requested several times before.  The answer is simple - there is no definitive answer.  There are so many variables that contribute to the number of virtual machines, you can run on a server:

  -number of Sockets
  -Core per socket

  -CPU speed

  -Density memory

  -Bandwidth allocated by host

  -Storage connectivity & bandwidth

  -Attributes VM & function of workload (amount of memory, CPU & disk by virtual machine)

  Although you can probably squeeze a lot more virtual machines per server with densities increased memory & CPU power, also increases your default domain name.  HA may be able to 'recover' virtual machines on a failed host, but how virtual machines are you willing to lose only once?  When sizing of your hosts, also the failover capabilities take into account.  Each of your cluster hosts should be able to tolerate the failure of at LEAST one host and meet all the requirements of memory & processor of the additional virtual machines now spread over the remaining hosts in the cluster.  This is why administrators does not often grow over 60% of the capacity of their hosts.  VMware uses a calculation of size "slot" to ensure you have adequate to your cluster failover capacity.

  As typical, I see regularly around the mark of 20 VM per server on a typical 2-socket server with 96 GB of memory and dual 10 G uplinks.  It is also good to think that most software licenses (VMware, Nexus 1000v etc.) is based on the counts of socket, and since the memory is going to be your first argument point - servers that can support large amounts of memory are usually an ideal choice.  B250 is perfectly placed to virtual workloads like this, while the B230 is a little firecracker with a bit more CPU power under its hood so you need.

  As vague as I was, I hope this starts your thought process

  Kind regards

• 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!

• 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.
