Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials: Adopting the previous name of the unit and backups after reconstruction of the customer

I have a WSE 2012 R2 domain set up at home and use for client backups. Today, I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on one of the clients, which was previously Windows 8.1. Installation went well, and he is now connected to the domain. However, I am unable to use the previous device name, as there always are in the field. I don't want to remove the old device, I need its backups. How can I use the old name of the computer/device and adopt the previous backups? I don't want to lose the old backups, or have to start backups as a new device. I have need of WSE to see my client computer as the same as the previous.

Thank you

-jim.

  • One user away from the dashboard of the range Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    We migrated from SBS 2008 for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials range. All users and computers have successfully migrated and their list is visible in the ADUC.

    However, a user is missing from the Windows Essentials Dashboard (users in the navigation bar, tab users).

    The user can work normally: connecting to Active Directory, it can see shared folders and so on. But it is not in the list above. Because of this, it cannot be administered in the dashboard (for Windows Server Essentials).

    What can be the problem? How can get us in the list? What other information should we supply for you to find the answer?

  • Windows Media Player 12 for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    Hello

    Is it possible to get Windows Media Player 11 or 12 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, because I have a few videos that I want to watch from the server. I searched on the Microsoft Web site to see if I can download Windows Media Player 11 or 12, but it doesn't seem to work... but is it possible?

    In addition, older versions of Windows Media Player would work for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials if you provide links. It would be great to try!

  • Cost of upgrading Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    I recently purchased Windows Server 2012 Essentials for use as a small home server.  I have not yet installed the software yet since Server 2012 R2 Essentials will be published shortly.  I do agree with Microsoft Software Assurance (SA) because it is unaffordable for my use case.

    This news post tackles the new R2 software costs:
    http://www.ZDNet.com/Microsoft-ups-price-on-Windows-Server-2012-R2-Datacenter-by-28-percent-7000019168/

    Is it really true that there will be absolutely no discount 2012 Essentials to the 2012 R2 Essentials Server server upgrade?  In other words, if I want to use R2, I lost only $425 on the previous version?

    I'm perfectly willing to pay for the new features, but if this is actually true, it probably is the straw that will break all the time about my relationship with Microsoft.  First Windows 8, forcing me to Microsoft of viscerally uncomfortable mold UI 'Modern' (I went back to Windows 7 like everyone else), then Windows 8.1 that does nothing to address my concerns and now the news that the piece remaining of the Microsoft software that is actually good is unaffordable - it's just too.

    I sincerely hope that this information is incorrect, and there will be a path to a reasonable level for customers like me who cannot afford SA and cannot afford another $500 on the server software.  Honestly, if this is the case I will consider seriously to switch to Linux.

    Please tell me that there was a mistake.  I hope that we are not at an impasse in our 30-year relationship, Microsoft...

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter: Activate the virtual machines on a host KVM

    Hello

    I bought four licenses for sale at retail of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. With the license of data center, I have the right to install a number of Windows Server R2 instances unmlimited 2012 on the physical machine with the associated license.

    The question now is: How can I activate Windows in virtual machines?

    As virtualization host, I use KVM, AVMA is not possible. I need a KMS host key to set up a KMS host. I tried to use my product key for the retail license but the VMAT does not accept the key, because it's a KMS - no key. Where should I paste my product key for the KMS host key?

  • RDP Windows Server 2012 r2 print of the VIP

    Hi, I hope you will all understand and can help me with this.

    I have 2 users who has a problem with the printing of the RDP of our server.

    It is with the Windows test page, and the main problem comes from VIP.

    When you print a windows test page show page that he has been put on hold, as well as the VIP, but nothing happens, the local PC, this works.

    When you are connected to the Admin account on the remote server, the user is able to do a test page, and with his letters of claim at VIP, she is able to print.

    We had the latest updates, she was able to print for about an hour, then it stopped working again.

    Two weeks earlier, she had the same problem, I used the compatibility mode to run as administrator and it worked too, but the user was only an impression for about half a day before it stops again.

    She has full admin on the remote server and local administrator on the local computer. It runs Windows 7 Professional

    We have more than 50 users using this server and it is only this user who has this problem, locally, is not part of a domain, but on the server, all users are part of the

    same domain.

    Please can help you with this.

    I don't know about or write about me, that it moves if necessary.
    So here's my problem.

    I just bought a laptop with the windows installation 8, but I want to install Windows Server 2012.
    I boot on my dvd, everything's fine, and then I click on install and then he told me that the key was invalid.
    But I do not enter a key.

    When I reinstall windows 8 I give no key and it did not in the property and after he told me that windows is activated.

    I don't understand the key or it will scan?
    I have how little he turns to me key?

    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, but I m confused.

    If you have purchased the license Windows Server 2012, then you have also a serial key.
    You must use this key for activation.

    Victory 8 regarding:
    I guess Win 8 was preinstalled.
    In this case, you will need to create a recovery disk before you install another system?
    You don't have any disk Win 8 because there was a possibility to create a recovery disk and the recovery disk contains a 8 win which is enabled.

  • Install OfficeJet Pro 8610 on Windows Server 2012

    Hello

    I'm trying to install the drivers for a Pro OfficeJet 8610 on a system running Windows Server 2012. I installed the drivers from here (after choosing Windows 2012 for the operating system): http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Officejet-Pro-8610-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/53...

    First of all, I tried to install using the GUI (Setup.exe) but ran into an error indicating that the operating system was not compatible.

    I did some research and discovered that these drivers must be installed by using the command line and the command msiexec.exe. I tried to do it by using the following command-line (with administrator privileges): msiexec.exe /i PATHTOMSI

    However, when I do that, it gives me ALWAYS an error of incompatible operating system. Don't know what to do here.

    Here is a link to the Post on the HP Forum explaining the need for a command line install: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/installing-Pro-8610-Windows-server-2008rt-X64/m-p/426...

    Thank you.

    I ended up soliving this problem myself while tinkering around.

    I went through the process of adding a new printer through the devices window and printers.

    I said my printer was not listend so opted to manually configure a printer. I have created a new local port and he just called the name of the printer. He then invited for drivers. I chose the disc and then navigated to the folder where I had extracted the printer drivers. Selected this file and the drivers installed.

    This example gets the drivers installed in the system. Windows should then automatically recognize/install the printer if it is plugged.

    Mind you, I had to do that only for printing on a desktop connection remote. If you need the real HP software installed to print AND scan, this will not work for this.
