Windows Server 2008 R2 (version complete RTM version) - device driver CD/DVD lack cannot install OS

When trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 (which is 64-bit only btw) and error saying: the CD/DVD device driver is missing (as per joint). This prevents the installation to continue.

The virtual machine is configured as:

VM hardware version 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit experimental on ESX4. Tried the passthrough and emulatation for cd player.

This creation by vCenter4 on an ESX4 host.

Has anyone got the full version still works?

Hello.

How did you get the media?  It works on other physical servers?  I came across this problem with the RTM version, and it turned out to be a corrupt ISO.

Good luck!

  • Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2 VMware tools installation - "device installation was prevented by a strategy."

    P2V'ed a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Server using the stand-alone converter. Converted OK, can launch the machine in 10 Workstation, log with the ID of the administrator, but no network adapter or mouse. Several web search performance of the possible solutions for this - change the local security policy to everyone, the services to disable Ctrl-M - they have not worked with me. After several uninstall, re-installation of VMware tools (manually via the keyboard navigation for the update of the operating system host by mapping shared folders), now when the machine starts I see in the system, try "device installation was prevented by a policy." Do not see anything particularly related to, with this verbiage, at the request of Windows and security logs events. In addition, the physical machine has been sent, is no longer available unfortunately, but I think that it is just config and can be corrected.

    Any help appreciated in advance.

    1. Change the strategy of Local computer, computer, Configuration models of administration, system, Device Installation Restrictions of Installation of device to ' not configured.'
    2. Delete all the USB unknown devices in Device Manager, then do a search for the hardware changes.

    Both of the above have been made manually via the keyboard navigation, but analysis of changes of material made me my mouse back and let me launch the installation of VMware tools.

  • Need help to install Oracle 10.2.0.5 on Failsafe 3.4.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64

    Hi all

    I'm trying to build a cluster ON / OFF on Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 using integrated security. The Oracle DB I install is EE 10.2.0.5.

    I have Oracle 10.2.0.4 and Patch 10.2 . 0.5 so install Oracle, it seems not to be a problem. The problem is with Failsafe.

    I downloaded the version 3.4.2 because with version 4, I can not add 10g (I can't upgrade to 11 or 12) DBs.

    I ask you, is there a good way to build infrastructure because I'm having a LOT of trouble to install everything?

    I have to install Oracle DB using local administrator because my domain account (which has Admin rights) cannot.

    I have to use my domain account to manage the Cluster because the local administrator cannot.

    I am all confused and it does not work everytime I try to add a resource to integrated security.

    So I need something like a short list to understand the correct sequence to install. Something like:

    Step 1: Install Failsafe on both nodes using Local Admin

    Step 2: install Oracle EE on both nodes using Local Admin

    Step 3: Create DB on the first node using Domain Admin

    I hope someone can help!

    Thank you!

    Ok! Found the solution. And of course it was a Windows problem and not Oracle. I just had to go to "Control Panel"-> account-> user account (Yes, 2 times)-> change user account control settings and put the bar you on the left to never notify. Restart the server and here! More no popups for administrator rights!

    You see them all!

  • Creation of domain to 0% - Oracle 11g - Windows Server 2008 64 bit PFRD

    1.i want to install and configure Oracle FMW version 11.1.1.2.0 in Windows server 2008 64 bit.

    2.i have followed the steps too as described here in these links two forum:
    1.http://CN.forums.Oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2245015
    2.creation area at 0% - Oracle PFRD 11 g - Windows Server 2008 64-bit

    3.I give my installtion No...

    I installed the JDK: 1.7.0.
    I have correctly installed web logic version wls1035_generic.jar.
    I also installed the version 11.1.1.2.0 FMW using all four disks (installation and donot set up).
    I also installed the fix 11.1.1.3.0 version.
    But when I am trying to run config.bat then it stops in the field of the creation to 0%, nothing happens, process sleeps:
    He created the field of size 9,23 mb and it displays "DOMAIN CREATION FAILS" after a long period of approximately 900 min.


    I also checked the path... It contains no special characters.



    Any ideas?

    You did not follow the instructions in the other links. Not at all. If you did, you would know:

    First of all, you need to use JDK 1.6
    Second of all, you have to match to the FMW WLS version you want to use (you should use 11.1.1.4, is told by the way).

    You should:

    (1) install JDK 1.6
    (2) installation of WebLogic 10.3.4 (or, if you want to use FMW 11.1.1.3, install WLS 10.3.3)
    (3) install FMW 11.1.1.2
    (4) install 11.1.1.4 patch (or 11.1.1.3)
    (5) proceed with your configuration.

    ACS currently cannot be installed on a server running Windows 2008 R2.

    As an alternative, you can install ACS on a member server.  Authentication

    ACS uses the local machine net API authentication both compared to a 2008

    R2 domain will work.  The Remote Agent can also be installed on a 2008 R2

    Server if you use devices.

    If you install ACS on a member instead server here is how to configure services
