Finally FIXED!

It would appear, the Installer does not modify the server.xml file, which needed to be manually fettled, for the upgrade to work!!!

No Kb about this anywhere!

Yes go with RAID-6 or RAID10, do not use RAID-5

You should also be able to replace one of the Disk with a Bigger size and wait for it to sync, then replace the second drive and wait for it to sync, then either extend the current partitions, or create a new volume out of the unused space.

Please make sure you have viable backups before you attempt any reconfig of your storage (NB Schroedingers Backups)

Hello all,

I've got an issue with a server that is running Windows Server 2012 (Not R2) where it doesn't go to the lock screen after a specified amount of time.

I have tried editing group policies, power saver options (both normal and advanced) and changing a registry directory to bring up an additional option in power saver advanced options, none of which work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Much appreciated.

How can I share out an old *.exe application to multiple users in an AD environment who are connected from home via VPN? The requirement is that the execution of *.exe must be from the office network, the *.exe application calls a bunch of databases from other servers in the office and will disconnect if the application runs from the user's computer via VPN.

I am thinking of setting up a Windows 2012 servers and allow RDP connections for users to run the *.exe on the server from home(via VPN). Are there any other ways?

Need to discuss with the business, high patch count still required is because of an old sharepoint server (old copy of office installed on server) and SQL on 2003 server, which should have been retired, but is still on and being used because data has not been migrated.

Also a Print Server we cannot update with 99 patches missing!
