      @dbeato said in Windows Server 2012 Remote Web Access not connecting and RDS services showing error 23005: @scottalanmiller Yeah, RDW is the problem I understand now. Basically you can remote desktop without need of App Resources Proxy without any problems. But if you try to load the App Resources from a Windows 10 device then yes I understand now. Yeah. It's a weird "Essentials only" issue, only on 2012 and older. From what I can tell.

Could You please guide me how we can run this script on multiple servers? I tried foreach PowerShell method but it does not work. From the ISE, load the script and then enter-pssession for each system. Once connected, run the script from the ise. Sorted.

I think MS does have the term Core still sprinkled around inside the OS and documentation though.. just adding more to the confusion. They changed again? I have not installed 2016 yet. Yep. And this time I actually agree. The whole idea, I think, being that MS is moving toward a non GUI on the servers being the standard way of installing/using Windows Server going forward. They made that very public as their goal when PowerShell was released long ago.

      The XX concurent users only comes into play if the licensed application offers such a thing. In the case of something like Office 2013, you'd definitely need 300 license... But for Something like... Raiser's Edge, or a Student Information System... You'd only need to license for the expected number of concurrent users. IE: Raiser's Edge can be installed on every computer on my campus... But only 15 of us can log in at one time.

      @scottalanmiller said in Updating Windows from the Command Line: Keeping a system up to date is very important and doing so from the command line can be one of the easiest ways to do this on Windows. Updating a Windows system, server or desktop, can be as simple as running this command as an administrator: wuauclt.exe /detectnow /updatenow If you only want to look for the latest updates without applying them, you can just run: wuauclt.exe /detectnow Also: wuauclt.exe /a /detectnow (/ResetAuthorization) http://ss64.com/nt/wuauclt.html

      No, it doesn't support this. RAID 1, you are correct, but Parity RAID 5 or 6 it does not. The OS needs to be up and running to be able to manage the parity RAID so you can't use it for the system install, only for extra data volumes.

      I have a sneaking suspicion that it is the fact that my 2 SQL Servers and the two other nodes that I want to use in this are on different subnets (although I am unsure as to why that would matter). My boss is going to get me an IP addy this morning, and I'll build a totally separate cluster for these two servers and see what happens.

      Here is an example: Three hosts, each running two Windows Server VMs, each with two sockets. Say Dell Power Edge R610 or HP Proliant DL360 nodes. Windows Standard Licensing. Cost per license: ~$700 To license each node to run its normal load is $700 for a total of $2,100. If we want to address the ability of any node to be a failover for the others or for non-disruptive maintenance, we need an additional license per machine. So we suddenly jump from $700 per node to $1,400 per node and the whole cluster jumps to $4,200 while gaining nothing during normal production times. Now that only addresses single node failover. If we want to maintain the ability to do failover during times of maintenance we need yet another license for each machine! That means $2,100 per machine and $6,300 for the cluster. Suddenly $350 per virtual machine in licensing has exploded to $1,050. A non-trivial increase. Now we can choose which level and which features we want, but typically the value of an inverted pyramid is sold based on this top level of flexibility. If we are dealing with Data Center licensing this is more obvious and far less complex, but SMBs would rarely pay for that level of workload and may not think through the additional costs that this style of architecture potentially bring to the table.

      Easier question to ask - did any computers loose power at all? If the answer is yes, then ask, was it all or just some? If some, then possibly you had a 3 phase power related issue. If not, then this is not an issue.

      Good way to think of it. Clean install is a little extra work today in exchange for a "known" or nearly known environment. An in place upgrade means carrying risk with you, maybe a little, but some that might bite you later. Or maybe the next IT guy, just leave the headaches for him

Sorry for the confusion then. Do they have the resources to run another WSUS server and proper licensing? It really is quite a simple solution. PDQ Deply has options for 3rd party app updates etc, but requires annual renewal. Oh, I can easily setup WSUS on one of their existing VMs. Just not really sure I want to with the size overhead for this many users. Hey Jared, sorry if I sound a little lost, but what is the overhead you're referring to? You pretty much only have two options: Deploy a WSUS server and use a GPO (or regedit) to make the workstations talk to it, or you can manually install updates once per month (or per quarter). I would think you could easily deploy a very small WSUS server (either on 2008 or 2012) using WID and about a 60-80gb hard drive. You could even make it one of the guest VMs. When I was supporting Office 2010 and Office 2013, Windows 7 and 8.1 I needed more like 120 GB to hold all of the updates, and monthly had to do the cleanup or I would run out of disk space. Obviously there will be some variables to consider. I was basing my recommendation off our current WSUS setup (over 200 workstations, and 30 servers) vs his environment (8 desktop, 2 laptops and some unnumbered servers). Up until recently when MS changed the way the update cycle works, I cleaned our db every month and we've been doing completely fine with an 80GB hard drive on the server.

      ?

      It's apparently a sporadic issue with Server 2012 r2 or Windows 8.1 running on Hyper-V on Windows 8.1/Server 2k12 R2 with Generation 2 VMs and secure boot. Secure boot needs to be disable for some updates. All expect for 3 out of the 98 were failing. Odd thing is there are four other 2k12 r2 Gen 2 VMs on the host that had no issues with the windows updates. Disabled Secure boot on the VM and it worked fine.

      Pertino is what we do.... full mesh VPN / Software Defined Network. Every device is on it. So every server, every desktop, every laptop and soon NAS devices and iOS devices as well (as soon as they get on the iOS bus!!) But you can do other things too like Cisco IPSEC VPNs, OpenVPN, etc. Lots of options.
