Merry Xmas, SCEP install on W8 and windows 2008

Merry Xmas, SCEP install on W8 and windows 2008

system center 2012 endpoint protection works on w8 as well as windows server 2008,

that's the good difference between the free one and the commercial one
 

do an inplace upgrade of a windows 2008 R2 PDC to server 2012 ?

do an in-place upgrade of a windows 2008 R2 PDC to server 2012 ?

No way, you can't do that, not a PDC upgrade,

what will happen is that the server 2012 will rename the current windows install to windows.old, then install itself as a standalone server....

..... so there is no in-place upgrade path ...

install SCCM 2012 on server 2012

install SCCM 2012 on server 2012

its not going to work straight away....

install sql 2008 R2 express, still no go

eventually I find this article .... dear ... its not going to work out of box...

SCVMM2012 wont work either out of the box

so sccm 2012 is really for w2008 r2 ?

restore windows 2003 server images to windows 2012 hyper-v

windows 2012 hyper-v enabled

use shadowprotect RE 4.1.5 ( OZ support suggested this version) to boot

in the process, the hyper-v got 768MB with 1 CPU, I increased those afterwards.

then restore to a hyper-v machine,

it takes about 2~3 minutes per GB over a network mapped share, so an 18GB C: partition took about 40 minutes

I wonder this got something to do with too many incrementals.

after some restart, I got error mouse not captured in remote desktop session, ....

the issue is I didn't install the integration components properly, that ended up with some yellow dots in device manager.

if auto disabled, I need run the setup file rather run some msi directly

legacy network card can be handy at times
