• Windows Server 2008 - Group Policy does not

  Hello

  I recently deployed a windows 2008 (32 std) additional domain controller for our windows 2003 DC. and I moved to make PDC FSMO roles in 2008. now I get error when I open Group Policy and none of the policy is to take users. the error is "the network name is not found.

  I run the command adprep/adprep domainprep/gpprep command when I deploy the windows Server 2008. below error, I get in the event viewer for the same thing.

  "The Software Installation Group Policy Client Side Extension was impossible to apply one or more parameters, because the changes must be processed before logon startup or user system. The system will wait for the treatment group strategy to finish completely before the next startup or logon for that user, and this may result in slow startup and startup performance '.

  Please advice. Thank you

• X 64 installed iFilter on Windows Server 2008, but it is not indexing

  It seems to be only index the content of documents which have been added after installing the iFilter. It doesn't seem to be indexing of documents that were already on the server before installing the iFilter component. I have to remove and rebuild the search index after installing the iFilter component? Can anyone confirm that for me?

  Yes, that would be true for any component snap-in you added in the Windows Search Service.

• Can not find platform for Windows Server 2008 update

  Hey

  I tried to find the platform update for Windows Server 2008 (KB971644), but could not find. I even tried the updates option, as mentioned on your website, but could not do so, because when I asked to search for updates, it gave me an error message.

• Windows Update will not install the hotfix on Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 KB3122648

  Hello

  I tried several times to install "MS16-019: Description of the update of security for .NET Framework 3.5.1 in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1" on a Windows Server 2008 R2, running Service Pack 1

  Windows Update has always ends with 'Failure' / has encountered an unknown error. Code 80073712

  The convenience store has not solved it either.

  The server is not really exposed to 'outside' as such, runs in a local network, regular, small; but sometimes, a web browser may be in use.

  Is there anything that can / should be done here to remedy the failure of the installation? Or free time and even not to worry about this?

  It would be great to have a few strong indications here. Thank you!

  System File Checker shows errors that are likely to cause problems with Windows Update. I would like to reinstall Windows Server 2008. That said, I have no direct experience of Windows Server 2008, so I'm not really able to help you.

• Drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

  PE1950, 2950 and MD3000i MPIO on Windows Server 2008 R2

  We're trying to nail a few dates to migrate our W2K8 R2 platform and plan the project.  We have most of our technical plans in place, and we have the code.  We have no Dell drivers however and there are several suspicious communications from Dell on this topic...

  Case #1: http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/insideit/archive/2009/08/10/ready-for-the-transition-dell-provides-support-for-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

  Note:

  • Our engineers have missed on countless piano recitals, songs and episodes of American Idol while spending thousands of hours of testing and validation to make sure that dy products Dell running Windows Server 2008 R2 are the business-rea.
  • We have pilot complete support for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Dell hardware so you can deploy, run and manage easily. You can go here to download the drivers.

  If you view the service labels in our support of similar product groups, you will find an R2 option for servers... but the only public services on the PowerVault MD3000i you don't find any reference to R2 at all.

  Case #2: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Supportted+Dell+PowerEdge+Systems+for+Microsoft+Windows+Server+2008+R2+Beta

  This is a list of Beta for PE obviously compatible servers, however it would make sense If Microsoft has included natively the right drivers for the Dell hardware in the distribution of Microsoft R2 RTM so, just can't find any supporting documentation and do not know if the network drivers are compatible with MD3000i.

  #3: There are a few hacks to get drivers Windows 2008 MPIO inherited working with the RC R2 & MD3000i on this forum, but no reference to R2 in the MD3000i matrix and nothing on the site... it's why, we have wondering again where are the good drivers for R2 RTM?

  Can you be it someone from Dell and or this forum please send information on these issues?

  #1: driver compatibility of matrix for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on PE1950 and connected to an MD3000i PE2950 is a supported configuration?  (Code R2 RTM was released to Microsoft volume license customers)

  #2: the network drivers for the host machines included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM?  If this is true, are the drivers MPIO for MD3000i and iSCSI Dell other platforms included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM as well then?

  #3: If all the answers are not questions #1 and #2... could someone PLEASE contact people of pilot certification on Dell to see if they are same in QA at this point, if they plan to update and display an estimated date of implementation?  We have contacted tech support, but received very vague answers on anything with R2 at this stage.  There is a business directory and a path to escelation for support tickets, but the midrange as this makes it much easier to share information for the masses, we just have not yet found.

  Thanks for your information, comments and your support!

  I was finally sent to someone who could give me some information on this within Dell, here's what they said:

  PE 1950/2950 drivers:

  The pilot should be included natively in Windows Server 2008 R2 media, and if so, would these drivers would be supported by Dell in a production scenario.

  MD3000i:

  I know that we will not issue a new MDSM which will fund 2008 R2 until sometimes in October. The MD3000i requires MPIO to the MD3000i and Dell drivers driver installation to work properly. I'll see if there is other information that I can find. I understand your frustration and engineer told me that this has been corrected in the next MDSM and MD3000i firmware version in October.

  So, it looks like October before MD3000i will be supported.

• How to get right to downgrade to Windows Server 2008, if I buy window 2012 license

  We need to buy Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition, unfortunately, is not available although wanted to confirm which edition of Windows Server 2012 devrais I buy to get the edition of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition downgrade but I found the information in your FAQ document, mentioned in Q15 I have to buy Windows Server 2012 Standard for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

  Q15. If I want to use the bits from a previous version or edition, what are my options?

  If you have Windows Server Datacenter edition 2012, you will have the right to downgrade your bits any earlier version or lower edition. If you have Windows Server 2012 Standard edition, you have the right to downgrade your forests to any previous version of Enterprise, Standard or Essentials editions.

  The ability to execute downgrade bits do not change licensing or support the terms in which you use the product; rights of the purchased product (Windows Server 2012) will apply. This means that the license will continue to wear two physical processors and virtualization of the rights do not change.

  Here are a few examples. License purchased	Downgraded version or edition	ILO rights that apply	License fees that apply
  Data Center 2012	Datacenter 2008	Datacenter 2008	Datacenter 20121
  Standard 2012	Enterprise 2008 R2	Enterprise 2008 R2	20121,2 standard
  Standard 2012	2008 standard	2008 standard	20121,2 standard
  Standard 2012	Essentials 2012	Essentials 2012	20121,2 standard

  Awaiting response ASAP
