• Windows Server 2008 Enterprise upgrade of 2008 has beaten the bad standard

  Hello

  I installed a virtual server for production of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x 86/i386, support of license Volume and MAK), because I needed some additional features in the Enterprise edition.  During the upgrade process, the server hung a few times, requiring a "hard reset" to continue the installation (which seems normal for the installation of Server 2008 on this virtual hardware).

  However, after the installation is "complete", the server seems badly broken: the local view is empty, with a mobile mouse pointer.  Remote Desktop connection with takes a long time (more than an hour!, even after additional restart), to go beyond 'Application user settings', and once connected, the basic points are broken: starting server manager reports that it might not activate a plugin whose GUID I can't find in a web search, open the 'centre' of the network shows a blank window by typing "NET START someservicename" or 'SC START someservicename' hangs rather than launch this service or signals an error.

  Anyone know how to get out of this quagmire, short copy the latest data and wiping the hard drive?

• Task Scheduler in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition

  We have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition by using the Task Scheduler to run 4 tasks on a daily basis. Recently, we have applied the Microsoft updates and restarted the server, and now the scheduled tasks do not work with the field. It says logon failure: unknown username and password incorrect (0x8007052E). The domain administrator credentials (or domain administrator credentials), we applied initially used but it still does not work, but it works with the local administrator account. A new task was created by using the credentials of the domain and the task could not start showing the username and password wrong. I studied unsuccessfully Microsoft Knowledge base. Please advise on how we solve this problem?

  For assistance, please ask for help in the Forums Microsoft TechNet for Windows Server.

  Thank you & good luck.

• Allocation maximum vCPU for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running on vSphere 4 Enterprise (ESXi 4.1)

  Hello

  I have a guest of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x 64) running on ESXi 4.1 with a vSphere Enterprise license 4. I believe that the comments and hypervisor should be allowed for and support 8 virtual processors, but when I add more than 4 and try to turn on the virtual machine, I get "market of the VM [virtual computer name] Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors but the host only supports 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  The selected guest OS is 'Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)'. There is no option in the drop down menu to 2008, Enterprise Edition.

  This configuration is actually supported? If so, what should I do to get it working?

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt

  Hi Matt.

  .. .on ESXi 4.1 with a vSphere Enterprise license 4...

  For vSphere 4, you need an Enterprise Plus license if want to create 8 vCPU VMs.
  In vSphere 5 will do a license...

• Installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 on vmware workstation 9

  Hello

  I have a laptop with windows 7 OS and installed a VM with windows server 2008 R2 OS using vmware workstation 9. The thing is without creating any user, VM is turining IT with the user that I connected my laptop. Is that how it behaves.

  Generally, when install us windows server on a physical machine, he asks to open a session with the administrator by changing the password.

  Could someone let me know how to change this?

  Thanks in advance

  This problem occur if you select the OS install disc when the VM... in this way creating the VMware Workstation uses a feature called Easy Install, where you will be asked for more information, including the user credentials.

  To avoid using Easy Install, during the creation of the VM, on install, select "I will install the operating system later":

  

  To read more about Easy Install, check page 35: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/desktop/ws90-getting-started.pdf

• T61 4 GB RAM on Windows Server 2008 64 bit problems

  Hi, I just bought 2 * 2 GB Crucial PC5300 667 Mhz memory to upgrade my T61 that has 2 * 1 GB installed before. Hardware installation is smooth and easy, I followed all the steps in the maintenance manual. Then I restart the computer, BIOS can recognize that it has 4096MB ram installled. My operating system is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 64-bit, which, unlike these 32-bit system, I am sure that it can handle more than 3 GB of memory. It is found in the system, and and showed there is 4 GB of memory, but in other programs like Everest, CPU - z, or Photoshop, even in the task manager all told me that there are only 2 GB of memory.

  I was confused and thinking that it might be the Crucial problem of the new memory, then I install only a SINGLE memory of 2GB each time. They can enter the system and be recognized as 2 GB. So the new Crucial memories have no problem. Then I combined the old 1 GB memory and new 2 GB Crucial memory to boot. Windows can also recognize 3 GB ram but only 2 GB of it can be used.

  It seems that 2 GB is the threshold of this system, any combination of greater than 2 GB can be recognized but cannot be used. However, it should not be like this since Windows Server 64-bit, theratically it can manage more than 512 GB of memory. That's happened? What should I do to remove this threshold? Windows problems? T61 problem.

  BTW, I've updated the BIOS of the laptop to the latest version. 01/07/2008

  This is the snapshot of the screen, my Windows is the Chinese version, but the crucial information is in English.

  http://farm3.static.Flickr.com/2194/2949357419_857717624d_o.jpg

  How dramatic is... It seems that I can use all 4 GB right now. I made a few changes and changes of the last

  Boot, however I don't know that we are contributing to the problem.

  During the last closure, I

  (1) switched the 2 Crucial memory slot,

  (2) put on the battery (it has been disconnected since the first time I changed the memory).

  (3) disabled windows virtual memory (now my laptop only works on real RAM, Yes...)

  something like this works now, thank you wjli2!
