Server 2012 Essentials Connector Software fails to properly configure a Win8.1 Pro for domain connection

I'm having problems getting the connector setup software to properly install and configure a machine for connecting to a domain running on a Windows Server 2012 r2 Essentials machine. The machine is a Windows 8.1 Pro laptop. I've successfully setup two other machines that connect to the domain.

The software runs and prompts for admin user name and password. It then asks about server backup and then completes the setup (successfully according to the setup). The whole process takes less than two minutes and never reboots the machine. The next time I login into the machine, I'm prompted for my hotmail password (not Ctrl-Alt-Del and domain login). I can access the server and all of the files, but the launchpad and dashboard are not installed. I've searched the Internet for a solution and found nothing. I downloaded the connector install files from the Microsoft Download Center, but that ran as an update in less than a minute and did nothing.

Anyone run into this? Anyone know of a solution? Help would be much appreciated!

Windows Server Essentials Email Service (WseEmailSvc) not running

Hey Everyone....

My current setup:

  • Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2
  • Single server in domain
  • Integrated with Azure AD and Office 365

I recently started having an issue with the following service not responding: Windows Server Essentials Email Service (WseEmailSvc). It seemed to have started occurring when I was attempting to install DirSync so that I can sync my user passwords with Office365. Unfortunately, I had issues getting that to install which may be related.

When I start the service, it runs for a second and then quits. I have confirmed all dependent services are running. I have rebooted the server several times and have checked for the latest updates, but I still continue to have the issue.

Checking the logs I see the following:

  • Error 7031 & 7034 - Service Control Manager -
    The Windows Server Essentials Email Service service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 4 time(s).
  • Error 1026 - .NET Runtime -
    Application: SharedServiceHost.exe

I am assuming that the issue is with .NET, but I am not sure how to correct the problem considering that .NET is part of WSE2012 and is installed as a Role. So I can simply rerun the installer to try and correct what ever issue may exist with .NET. I have tried running the .NET Repair Tool with no luck.

If someone could provide some suggestions I would GREATLY appreciate it!!

Thank you!!

Windows server 2012 Essential vs Foundation

March 5, 2014, 5:54 am

Hi, i am debating if i should obtain win server 12 Essential vs Foundation licencing.  Only at most two users will be using this server, and it is critical for me to have remote desktop access to this server.  Based on the wiki summary across the different editions, it said Win Server 2012 Essential only offer "Gateway Only" for Remote desktop Services, what does "gateway only" here mean?  Whereas the Foundation edition, it allows 50 remote desktop connections.

Given i don't have many users using this server, and mainly using remote access to control this server, what server licensing would fit best?

Tks.

This question isn't necessarily only when having an Exchange server integrated as I have seen this on other 2012 Essential deployments.

How do I have the built-in accounts (Example: MSExchDiscovery, SystemMailbox, HeathMailbox) not count towards the allowed users accounts AND not show up in the "Users" section of 2012 Essentials Dashboard.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can't access workstations via Remote Web Access because no certificate was configured to use at the Remote Desktop Gateway server.

The Remote Web Access has been working fine.  Then I had to renew my SSL certificate; which is through GoDaddy.  Everything seemed OK, I thought. I can see the certificate in IIS Manager and it has the new renewed/extended date.  I can do everything in Remote Web Acccess except connect to a workstation.  Then it times out and I get this error:

Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because no certificate was configured to use at the Remote Desktop Gateway server.

Got any ideas where to go from here?  I talked to GoDaddy people and they don't know nothing.

I have joined a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Server to the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials domain.  The Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Server Manager lists the 2008 R2 server and prompted me to install WinRM 3.0 for manageability. . I cannot get this server to appear as a device in the dashboard or on the remote access webpage. I see instructions for adding client computers, but not servers. How can I get this server to show up correctly?

I would like to add our Windows 2008 Terminal Server (not R2) to RWW in Windows 2012R2 Essentials.  The connect computer wizard did not work on the Windows 2008 server, returning Win32 error.  

How do I add the 2008 TS to the devices listing in RWW without using the connector wizard (as it does not work).   The Windows 2008 server has been join to the same domain manually.

Hi,

I have installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 on a new Dell PowerEdge T20 server. After installing all updates and drivers I noticed that Windows Server Dashboard is crashing. Event Viewer shows .NET Runtime error:

Application: Dashboard.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: exception code c0000005, exception address 0000000000000000

Also Server Manager and Intel Rapid Storage Tecnology user interface (IAStorUI.exe) are crashing with same error information.

I have run .NET Framework Setup Verification Utility and it shows no errors. sfc /scannow found some error and fixed them.

Any ideas?

Anywhere Access Wizard continually crashing

Hi,

I have been having issues with anywhere access and think I have pinned it down to when I changed my windows live password.

If I click repair or configure then after a little while the wizard closes (along with the dashboard). Because of this I cannot see any errors. If I try to release the domain name it is unsuccessful giving the error that the domain name service provider username or password are incorrect.  That's great and possibly confirms my suspicions, but there is no way I can find to change the credentials.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Unable to set up Office 365 integration on Windows Server essentials 2012 R2 Essentials

I am trying to integrate our Office 365 with a newly installed instance of Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2.

When i run the integration wizard in the Windows server essentials dashboard and supply my username and password for my Office 365 admin account, the wizard runs for a very long time, and returns "An unknown error occurred. Make sure that the computer is connected to the internet, and the try again. If you continue to to experience, restart the server and then try again".

I have tried to restart the server several times and reinstalling the server from scratch, but the error still appears.

When i try to integrate the server with another, separate trial Office 365 tenant, I am able to integrate, but when I try to integrate with this Office 365 tenant, the wizard always returns this error. This leads me to think that there is a problem with this specific Office 365 tenant. 


We need this integration to work, and hope that you will be able to help us fix this error and get the integration with our server to work.

Migration of Windows Server 2003 (non R2) with DC Role to Windows Server 2012 Essentials (non R2)

Hi all,

I need some help. 

What would be the best way to migrate from windows server 2003 standard (non R2) DC to a Windows Server 2012 essentials (non R2) server? The 2003 Server is the only server we have and therefore it's also the DC. I need to keep the AD as is. After all is done, I want to remove the windows server 2003 from the network.

I read a lot about the migration mode, but that's not supported when coming from server 2003 standard, right? 

So what would be the right scenario ? Replica DC? Step by Step pleaase. 

Could someone guide me in the right direction ?

Thanks

SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2 migration - when I use Robocopy to copy files from sbs 2008 to 2012 R2 , the MS migration steps recommends the syntax  Robocopy \\<SourceServerName>\<SharedSourceFolderName><PathOfTheDestination>\<SharedDestinationFolderName> /E /B /COPY:DATSOU /LOG:C:\Copyresults.txt

I get the following error:  
ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Copying File \\odin\shared\data\Thumbs.db
Access is denied.Waiting 30 seconds...

If I instead use the robocopy switches /E /B /XO /COPYALL /SEC /MIR /R:1 /W:1 /LOG:C:\
I don't get the acess denied error the folders and files copy but I see 0 byte files for *.xls, *.pdf, *.txt files (i interrupted the copy to check on the results)

Remote Web Access licensing

I've recently solved a couple of problems with Remote Desktop access after renewing the SSL certificate.  The RD webpage works fine and I can connect to workstations.  I thought everything was OK.

But, when I connect to the Server's desktop (2012 Essentials, not R2) via Remote Desktop connection I get this error:

Remote Desktop Services will stop working in 113 days. On the RD Connection Broker server, use Server Manager to specify the Remote Desktop licensing mode and the license server.

My hours of research and reading most often state to solve the above problem is to start Server Manager, click on Remote Desktop Services and then click on Overview where I should be able to configure licensing, but when I click on Overview all I get is:

A Remote Desktop Services deployment does not exist in the server pool.  To create a deployment, run the Add Rolls and Features Wizard and select the Remote Desktop Services installation option.

RDS is already installed and working, which is also obvious since it shows up in Server Manager that it is installed, but the above error says install it (as I understand it).  I just need to get past this RD licensing problem as I'm sick & tired of the hours I've spent on this.

Any ideas/sugesstions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Storage Server not automatically attaching drives after bootup

It seems that since I have installed Server Essentials 2012 R2 my original storage pools do not automatically attach themselves upon reboot of the server. Each time I reboot the server I have to go into Server Manager and Attach the Virtual Drives manually. The drives had no issues on the previous version of Server Essentials 2012.

BTW, once I manually attach them, they are fine.

Any ideas on how to set them to attach automatically as I have yet to find anything.

Remote Web Access using "UPN" or Email address

Hi there, 

I noticed this thread talks about the thing I would love to have. 

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4192a34b-d399-4aa4-8ee2-dc6a327cb952/server-error-in-remote-application-using-upn-to-log-on?forum=smallbusinessserver 

I understand the SBS is designed for smaller, non-it specific, however most of the places that you do install are also limited so telling the when you use the RWA you use the "username" but when you log into Office365, you use your email address, it would be nice to have them all the same. 

I see that from here you are able to modify the RDWeb. 

http://msfreaks.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/step-by-step-customizing-rd-web-access-2012-r2/

But I understand that the Essentials is an out of the box solution, so maybe nobody has wanted to try or to fix. 

The first post mentions about a "Error" with RWA in 2011 and they still haven't found something for this?  As they did mention about looking into it, however, no solution, so I can't be the only person asking for this feature of consistency, as I know there are other out there. 

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to enable this?   I swear that my Server Essentials 2012 this worked, as I tested it, so not sure what happen in R2.

Cannot finish Post-Deploy of Essentials Role on 2012 R2 Standard

Good day,

I'm attempting to finish post-deployment of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, Essentials role. I click configure and it fails with no information besides try again.

I have followed the steps to try and add <Domain>\ServerAdmin$ to logon as a service. I was unable due to that the user did not exist. I created a user with that name, gave it quite a few rights and was able to make that change to the GPO. Upon refreshing policy and trying to run the configuration again, still failed. Any direction or tips would be appreciated. This has happened when trying to setup as Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Standard with Essentials role.

Our primary DC is Server 2008 R2 and this is virtualized on ESXi 5.1

My remote desktop connection was working fine until the operating system installed some recent updates automatically. I had everything set up, and the certificate was installed and working fine and had no issues getting to my remote computer. Recently when I log into my remote web access and try to connect to any of the computers on the list I get an "Remote Desktop Connection" error. "Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because no certificate was configured to us the Remote Desktop Gateway server." Like I said the certificate was installed and working fine the other day. Any insight is appreciate. Thanks
