• 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

• Windows Server 2008 R2 on a host of Windows 7 virtual machine

  Using a host Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit), could I create a virtual machine in Windows Server 2008 R2 as a DC with active directory and join the field of Win 7 host?

  If so, what virtualization software recommend?

  It would be only for development purposes.

  No, you would not be able to join the host (Windows 7) for Windows Server 2008 R2. (Chicken and eggs).

  You can use Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player:

• Impossible to install windows server 2008 on virtual machine

  Hello

  I installed vmware 9 without any problems, but when I create a virtual machine and I want to install windows server 2008 on it, I see this error:

  This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
  This host supports Intel VT - x, but Intel VT - x is disabled.
  Intel VT - x can be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or host was not powered by bicycle since changing this setting.
  (1) check that the settings BIOS/firmware activate Intel VT - x and disable "trust execution."
  2 turn on the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.
  (3) turn on the host if you have not done since the installation of VMware Workstation.
  (4) update of the BIOS/firmware from the host to the latest version.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .

  What can I do?

  my laptop is vpccw27fx of sony and its configuration is

  Processor: inter (R) Core i5 M520 @2 cpu. 40 GHz 2.40 GHz

  RAM: 4G

  OS: Win7 64-bit

  I mention that the host BIOS/firmware is up to date, but I don't know how to check intel vt - x which is disable or enable. !

  Hello

  Restart your laptop and try to get into the BIOS, look for virtualization or VT - x and allow it

• Best choice to run a VM on Windows Server 2008 R2

  We have an application which is decommisioned, and we have to stop the virtual machine at our data centre soon. Each of the components of our Organization pay for use services data center. Our development team needs to access the database of the application a few months after the date of the judgment.

  What is my best option to run this VM?  I thought trying to install VM Player or workstation on one of our servers in development (Dell R710, Windows Server 2008 R2) and run the virtual machine in this way. Would this work? I can't buy a new server to run on ESXI 5 applications for a few months.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hello and welcome to the communities.

  Note: This discussion has been moved from nested virtualization to VMware Workstation community.

  Running this VM Workstation or Player, you described, should work fine. You want to test and performance will be probably reduced, but it will certainly work.

  Good luck!

• License with Windows Server 2008 Guest OS.

  Hello

  I installed on a host (System Dell R810) vSphere with 24 physical cores with hyper-threading. If I install a Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition/64-bit, on the physical hardware, I see 48 processors.

  I would like to convert this system into a system in a virtualized with vSphere environment. Assuming that I buy enough licenses VMWare, which is the maximum number of VMWare virtual cores I can refer to various OS comments? Also, if I have the Windows Standard edition, which is the maximum. number of virtualized hearts would be the guest operating system, see?

  Also, is there a document describing how licensing works and how things refers to a VMWare deployment.

  Thank you.

  http://www.VMware.com/download/EULA/multicore.html

  VMware licenses is based on the number of Sockets in the box... carrots.

  Here is a short breakdown in licensing requirements.

  ESXi free-4 core support only.

  Software licenses with hearts of six (6) by restriction of processor: vSphere Essentials, vSphere Essentials Plus, vSphere Standard and vSphere Enterprise

  Twelve software licenses (12) cores per CPU restriction: vSphere Advanced and vSphere Enterprise Plus

  Microsoft licenses - depends on the day: o)

  It's your best reference. - http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/E/C/EECF5D44-9A88-43D8-AFDB-D2AB82BE035C/Win%20Server%20Lic%20Book%20customer%20hi-res.pdf

  Windows Standard - for each license, you get a single virtual machine.

  Windows Enterprise - for each license, you can run 4xVM

  Windows Datacenter - you register each Jack in the box (like VMware) - run as VM of this family of products that you can (IE, Windows 2008, Datacenter Edition allows all x Windows 2008 flavours).  I'm not positive is a Windows 2008 R2 allows to downgrade to Windows 2008 flavors as well.  So I guess.

  My recommendation - pony up the money and get data center and then laugh if Microsoft comes audit because you don't care.

  SQL 2008 licensing - read carefully - it changes and is confusing.  Best to call the Microsoft license program to be positive.

  Hardware capabilities

  http://www.directionsonmicrosoft.com/sample/domis/update/2008/02feb/0208ws2plp_ch.htm

  Limitations of VMware – you can create within a VM CPU 8. However if you need that many cores... rethink its acceptability of virtualization.  See #5, and then read it again.

  Now, just throw in the standard practices and answering the questions I know you will come back and ask.

  #1-non, it has no USB support in a virtual machine.  You can't attach an external drive to your VM.  Look at the IP/USB devices for the solutions for this.

  #2-Si you create a larger hardware RAID array then 2 TB it won't work.  Each virtual disk/LUN/table/Container (to use the terminology whaever) needs to be more boy then 2 TB-512bytes (use 1.99 TB to be sure). RDM, also, cannot be greater then 2 TB.  In addition, I recommend to use initiator ISCI inside the virtual machine.

  #3-la recommendation is to try to stay in the range of 10-20 VMS per VMFS volume (much busy VM can cause scsi reservation issues).  He got much better then you can push the limits (wait for RParkers response when he sees it: o))

  #4-you can create multiple VMFS volumes and join them together to make a larger VMFS volume.  Strongly discouraged

  practical #5-bonnes of virtualization - forget what you know about the allocation of resources.  Start a Windows 2008 VM with 1 GB/Max 2 GB of RAM and a single processor.  ONLY increase CPU/RAM after you have determined you must.  Least CPU multiple VM's best for planning

  average #6-sursouscription is usually 4-5 WHAT VM by heart, but of course it depends on the load and SMP VM

  #7-do not ask solution best backup (of the beginning of war) - your typical responses are going to be Veeam, Vizioncore, esXpress as 3 all with scripts and a few others mentioned (like VDR).  Try them all (this way you can get backups and not pay for at least 90 days: o))

  #8-don't freak out cause of your VM Windows 2008 allows you to use all of the memory of your host immediately.  Until you use all of the memory, the virtual machine will be uuse large pages (which is good for performance).  Once that oversubscribe you too far, they will all move to 4 k pages, and your memory usage will drop dramatically.  After that, when the memory is the most... you are done... not go further: o)

  There are literally hundreds, but if getting vmware these tips here sticky would be we would have probably two times fewer threads and a much higher quality content.  Of course, #3, #6 and #7 will probably provoke a debate already.  I apologize in advance.

• Problem to see my 2 processor on Windows Server 2008 x 64 with VMWare Server 2

  Hello

  My server is an HP Proliant G6 G380 with 2 processors Intel Xeon X 5550 2.66 Ghz (Quad Core)

  Operating system is Windows Server 2008 standard x 64 SP2 and I use VMware-server - 2.0.1 - 156745

  On "Windows Task Manager - Performance" I see 16 CPU (2 processors * 4 cores * hyperhtreading).

  On the VMWare Server 2 documentation, they said this support for VMWare Server 2:

  Standard x 86 or x 86-64-compatible server with up to 16 processors.

  Hosts with processors of 32-bit IA - 32 and IA-32 with 64-bit extensions processors are

  supported.

  When I run VMWare Infrastructure Web Access, basically on my VMWare Server, I see only 1 CPU X 5550 8 hearts.

  Do you have any idea why?

• HP Pavilion p7-1451 USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

  I bought a HP Pavilion p7-1451 so I might have a machine that is affordable, yet powerful enough to put a server software development environment on (I'm a software engineer).

  It came with Windows 8, but I need Windows Server 2008 R2, I own through an MSDN subscription.  I did what I always do in these cases, re-partioned the hard drive, re-formatted and installed the new operating system.

  I have almost all devices work fine, but it still does not recognize the USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth device.  I looked everywhere but could not find something that works.  Whatever it either from the HP site is targeted for Windows 7 or 8 and trying one of those, it tells me "your system does not meet the requirements of the operating system" and MSI publishes all the drivers for this particular motherboard (that I can find anyway).

  Motherboard: MSI MS-7778, also known under the name of: MSI 2AEO version 1.0

  BIOS: FRIEND 8.12

  Here is the list of "other devices" in Device Manager that Windows does not recognize:

  BCM20702A0

  (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

  (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

  Bluetooth device ID: USB\VID_0A5C & PID_21F1 & REV_0012

  USB Controller device ID: PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7812 & SUBSYS_2AE0103C & REV_03

  Windows doesn't always recognize them after allowing him to look on the internet.

  I googled everywhere and I'm not getting anywhere.

  Does anyone have advice?

  Any chance that this could be linked to the BIOS?

  I'm not having any chance to find a BIOS download for this motherboard either.

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Find out!

  Use your expertise in software engineering to mod the driver for USB 3.0 to work...
