I download the windows server 2016 evaluation ISO (twice in case the first was flawed) and created a USB drive using rufus. The computer is a physical machine, HP ML30 Gen9 with a 2 tb drive (raid 0), 24 gb of ram and the process is a Xeon E3-1230V6. This exceeds the specs.

I get the following message at the end of the installation whether I use Intelligent provisioning or install directly from the USB.

"Windows cannot fine the Microsoft Software License terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation. "



There is no error code. I've trying the installation 4 times, 2 with IP and 2 with using the USB drive directly.

As a test, I downloaded the eval on server 2012 R2 as well which I could burn to a DVD (didn't have dual layer for the 2016 install.) I created the disk and this installation failed the same way.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get past this so I can build this server? It is for a client and I'm starting with the eval and will purchase the license once it's in place and running.

Thank you for your attention to this questions.

Regards,

Bill

I am trying to install VMWARE from the linux bundle on my Manjaro Linux system.  I got close with the Manjaro Forum (and it is still out there).  I need to find the kernel headers my kernel is using.  My kernel is up to date but I can not find the header files for it so I can tell VMWARE.  The message I get is below.

I bought a new Lenovo Business Premium V720 laptop for our business and as standard procedure we delete the partitions and reinstall Win10 from scratch. this has always worked for us but apparently deleting the partitions was a bad thing with this particular model. after deleting the partitions and then recreating the partition Win 10 can't install on it.

Has anyone any knowledge of an equivalent tool to the one I used with SMS 2.0 called Sysdiff.

The tool checked for differences in a systems pre- then post install of an application.  It provided a list of files/folders/reg keys added to a computer.

I want to capure the changes made to a server after reconfig to see what areas are updated and this would be ideal

Hi Guys,

I have around 100 servers in a test environment which i need to update on specific days. An GPO is not an option. Is there any script which i can use? What i would like to have are the following:

1. Search for windows updates on WSUS
2. Install all available updates
3. Restart
4. Detect again

Something like "wuauclt /detectnow /reportnow" with an restart option would be perfect -shutdown /r does not work.

It would be even better if i can enter computernames.

Thanks in adcance.

Just upgraded out TFS install to 2018 and migrated to a new server. Trying to set it up so we only use HTTPS and I am able to login through the web interface and projects listed but when I try to connect through Visual Studio 2017 I get this error:

"TF400324: Team Foundation services are not available for server 'servernamehere'. Technical information (for administrator):
   The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for SSL/TLS secure channel"

In IIS I modified the bindings for the TFS and removed all the default bindings so now I only allow https://servername.domain and assigned a wildcard cert with the domain in it we got off godaddy. I then went into the TFS administration console and under the application tier I set the public URL to the same URL that was in the binding. I then reset the server to make sure everything got updated with the new URL settings.

Even then I was still getting the same message every time I tried to connect using Visual Studio. I know the cert is good and the path does work since I can connect via a web browser but I am not getting enough detail from the error message to help see what Visual Studio is actually trying to connect to generate that error.

I have a unique issue here and I am no understanding autodiscover and outlookanywhere config enough to get around it.

I have 2 sites with 1 Exchange 2013 box with all roles in each as my production environment. It is fully configured and functioning externally and internally.

My box at the primary site(second site is not internet facing) is sitting on a clustered storage space which is degraded and will not rebuild on the replacement disk, backup attempts crash the cluster disk so day by day data is further compromised by the minute.

My only choice was to attempt to install another box in the primary site and move the mailboxes.

I have deployed a new bow (Exchange 2013 CU21 all roles) and moved my mailbox for testing successfully. Internally everything functions fine for my account, externally autodiscover, owa, outlookanywher do not work.

I dont' seem to be visualizing the proxy functionality correctly or have made changes on the new CAS which is breaking the functionality.

Current config is as such:

= Have changed nothing on the degraded primary site server or the remote sites CAS/Mailbox server
- This may be where I screwed up, but it tested fine internally so I thought the changes had no affect due to the proxying
          - Changed all web services URL's on the new primary site machine to match the degraded machine in preparation for the cutover after the mail box moves were completed.
                    - eg. degraded server autodiscover is …

I need to use MS Access 2016 on a project for one of my clients.  Since it is no longer available I purchased a volume license for MS Office 2019 Pro, which would give me the option of installing Office 2016 Pro.

That went well.  Now I want to install 2016 Pro on my work machine.  I logged into the volume license center and my confusion started.
