I recently inherited the management of a Windows 2012 server at a remote site. I checked Windows Update and it has not been updating since March. When I tell Windows to check for updates, it acts like it is checking, but it seems to say that for hours. If I attempt to restart the windows update service, it seems to never be able to shut down. Upgrading to Windows Server 2012 – Part 1. The Standard edition is meant for application hosting on physical servers with minimized virtualization; hence, the Standard license will entitle you to run up to 2 virtual machines on up to 2 processors.

I was attempting to upgrade from Windows server 2012 Foundation to Windows 2012 Standard without having to wipe and reinstall. Gta 5 play free online.

Is there an in-place upgrade path for these editions, and if there is, is there any documentation on it? The only one I could find pointed to an upgrade from Essentials to Standard, but didn't explicitly mention that that was the only possible upgrade.

I have exhausted my patience with Microsoft support who don't seem to have an answer for me!

This question is similar in requirement and error to (In-place upgrade from Windows Server Standard to Enterprise or Datacenter) but varies significantly by the Version and Edition.

Things to consider before the upgrade

Hi Again everybody,

Windows Server 2012 was launched in August this year. With an innovative user interface, powerful remote management tools, a big bunch of new features, major enhancements to existing ones, and a focus towards cloud, this is perhaps the most significantly enhanced release of Windows Server operating system ever. This blog series will focus on things you need to consider while upgrading your existing Window Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 infrastructure to Windows Server 2012 and will discuss some of the top issues for which customers call Microsoft support.

SKU considerations:

When it comes to choosing the right SKU in earlier versions of Windows Servers, you had a lot to think about in terms of features that are available, number of processor and memory support. In Windows Server 2012, we have made it easier for you to make this decision. Windows Server 2012 comes in 4 SKUs:

Windows Server 2012 Datacenter and Windows Server 2012 Standard are the fully functional editions of Windows Server 2012. There is no difference between the two in terms of processor/memory support, features and functionality. What differentiates the two is the number of virtual machines you can run without paying for additional Windows licenses. The Datacenter edition is meant for virtualization and private cloud deployments and includes unlimited virtualization rights. The Standard edition is meant for application hosting on physical servers with minimized virtualization; hence, the Standard license will entitle you to run up to 2 virtual machines on up to 2 processors. For more information about licensing and price check this guide.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials is the next version of Windows Small Business Server (SBS). This is a powerful and flexible solution that is ideal for Small business. Some of the features are stripped down, and additional features that support a small business are added to this edition. To get more details about this product check this link.

Windows Server 2012 Foundation provides a general purpose server experience and has no virtualization right and is limited to 15 user accounts. This is available through OEM only.

Hardware Considerations:

To install Windows Server 2012 at minimum, you need a 1.4 GHz 64-bit processor, 512 MB of RAM, 32 GB of disk space, DVD Drive, Super VGA (800×600) or higher resolution monitor, keyboard and mouse. Depending on the mode you install (Server core or server with a GUI), the Windows installation typically takes anywhere from 8GB to 16 GB, however we always recommend that you keep 32Gigs of disk space or more, so that you have sufficient space for paging and servicing. There will also be additional requirements depending upon the roles and services that this server will host.

Upgrade Path Considerations:

There are upgrade paths to Windows Server 2012 from both Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The following table summarizes the available upgrade paths.

Upgrade Options	Windows Server 2012 Standard	Windows Server 2012 Datacenter
Windows 2008 Standard/Enterprise with SP2 (x64)	Yes	Yes
Windows 2008 Datacenter with SP2 (x64)	No	Yes
Windows Web Server 2008	Yes	No
Windows 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise with Sp1	Yes	Yes
Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter with Sp1	No	Yes
Windows Web Server 2008 R2	Yes	No

The same old rules still apply. In-place upgrades from 32-bit edition of Windows Server 2008, upgrades from one language to another, from one build type to another (chk to fre) are not supported. You also cannot perform an in-place upgrade from any pre-RTM builds of Windows Server 2012 (like the Release Preview build) to the RTM build. Depending on the role you are running, an upgrade would be blocked from being performed. As an example, having Failover Clustering as an added role in Windows 2008 R2 will block
