Have an original SBS2012 (not r2) migration to Windows Server 2022 Standard. I've made it to Step 4, Substep 22 where I should see replication going on and eventually the SYSVOL and NETLOGON folders being shared. But we are not getting replication to work. I'm seeing the SYSVOL being shared out on the new DC, but not NETLOGON. I can't seem to find any errors on either server, as well, to indicate what's going on. On the Windows Server 2022 I'm seeing Warning 5014, Errors 5002, and 4612 about 15 seconds later, but then it appears to ...
Guys 2 questions. We still can't see Windows 11 Enterprise in the VLSC. Open Value Agreement, SA included. Can only see Windows 10 and below. Has it been released yet in the VLSC?? Where is Server 2022 Essentials? Can only see Server 2022 Standard. No other derivatives. Can see 2019 and 2016 Essentials. Am told Essentials is now basically a special key which is used to activate standard media??? Either way, nothing on the VLSC. Confused! Thanks.
I have an SBS2011 server that is still providing email, file shares and RWW. The project is to get the email into the Exchange Online and migrate the PDC to a Server 2022 VM with a Server 2022 member server for LOB applications. Workstations are still Windows 7. I am not so concerned about the email migration and will likely use a third party tool that will also handle the Outlook profiles on the desktops. The SBS2011 AD domain has an existing member server running LOB applications. My intention is to migrate the 2008r2 PDC to server 2022 Will the ...

The available guide goes to MS Server 2019 Standard. Does anyone know if I can use that guide to move directly to Server 2022 Standard? Thanks, Paul
Hi, I've not yet experienced the issue described in the DFS Replication 4012 Tutorial as my SBS has not been offline for 6 months however I like to plan ahead! The guide is very clear that it is for a single DC environment, is this because this issue will not affect a multi DC environment or is the fix more complex? Thank you Ian
Completed a Windows Server 2016 Essentials to Windows Server 2019 Essentials upgrade following the migration guide.

Hi, I am in the process of migrating from Exchange 2016 -> 2019 following a successful move from 2010. Will moving the system mailboxes cause any downtime or can I crack on during the working day? Thanks Ian
I'm working towards moving from Exchange 2016 to 2019. I am currently setting up the server, I still have a couple of users running Outlook 2010 who require upgrading, this is due to happen next week, however at what point of the Exchange 2019 setup will it cause of an issue with any unsupported clients? Basically, if I install Exchange 2019 on my server (Step 7) will my Outlook clients pick this up immediately or will it only be an issue when I get further down the process and set URLs and the SCP? Thanks ...
WSE2016 14393.5291, Clients Windows 10 21H2, 'skipped domain' All my 5 PCs have now a reduced context menu in the devices tab in Dashboard. They're displayed correctly, shown 'online' when switched on, status is OK, automatic backup works (but manual has to be started from the machine itself) but context menu and tasks menu to the right is reduced to 'view computer properties. 'remove computer' and 'restore files or folders...' (see pic) Seems to be related to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Data\devicesinfo.xml where all machines are marked 'disabled' instead of 'active' (see pic) C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Data\activealerts.xml does contain old ...
Hello, We have two servers in separate locations that run Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 for their operating system. We have applied many fully working, trouble-free Windows updates to these servers over the years (WSE 2012 R2). However, now both of them fail when trying to process the "2023-01 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2012 R2 for x64-based systems (KB5022352)." We have attempted to install the problem update file multiple times, but in every case it is flagged in Update History with a status of "failed." Also, when this update begins to run ...
I just installed Windows Server 2016 Essentials to replace my Windows Server 2012 R2. I know this is a no longer supported product by Microsoft, but I use this server to back-up my home computers. After the installation and applying updates, I began to get an error in my Health Monitor - Computer monitoring error Occurrences ServerName 2/22/2023 4:54 PM **ServerName substituted for my Server's real name ** Details Can only partially assess the health of this computer. The failing components are: ...
Any potential issues with upgrading Windows 8.1 Pro client PCs to Windows 11 Pro on a Windows Server Essentials 2016 network? Thank you, Greg
I'm in the process of retiring an old SBS 2011 server that currently hosts all fsmo roles. I do have an additional DC/GC running Server 2016 that will become my only DC until I add an additional DC/GC running Server 2019 or newer. Prior to performing the tasks to decommissioning the legacy SBS 2011 server, I've run several dcdiag tests to make sure AD, DNS and replication are all fine. The SBS 2011 server is sending DNS errors when I run DCDIAG /test:DNS /DNSALL /e /v from an elevated cmd prompt. The other server completes the dcdiag command without errors, ...
Setup new server with 2016 Essentials. Everything working great except Local Server Backup. When I try to setup Backup for the Server the Setup Loading Data window opens and just keeps running. I have let it run for over an hour and it just keeps showing Loading Data. When I try and cancel the Loading Data window it greys out but won't close. I have to use Task Manager to close.

Hello Mariette. I hope you’re doing well. Question- I purchased two timeslots and I need help with another issue. I’m unclear on whether I used up both my “time slots” or just one with our last call in December (see below). I have the following issue I need to resolve. I have a site-to-site VPN connection via a SonicWALL router. The connection is active, however I can only browse by IP- not by name. I have confirmed with SonicWALL support that my SonicWALLs are not blocking NetBIOS traffic. Please let me know if I need ...
Friday morning I ran Backup Cleanup in Windows Server Essentials 2016 manually from "Task Scheduler" (TS) it completed in 12 minutes according from the "History" tab & .log on the "C" drive. But the task in the status column of TS keeps saying running. After 12 hours I clicked the "End" button in the TS side panel. I am now wondering if this is a bug or if the Backup Cleanup was actually still running or doing something important.
we are in process of migrating from sbs 2011 to server 2019. we have already installed server 2019 and had joined the domain, now going through the migration guide we have removed the sbs client agent from the server, does the server 2019 required to disjoin from the domain and rejoin or we can proceed with the guide steps normal to install the DNS and other components? we also have a secondary domain server running on server 2016 in our network environment.

Hi, Happy new year everyone Are data deduplication available on Server Essentials 2016? I don't find how to activate it. Thanks.
Hello-- We are down to the last couple of migration steps from WSE12 to WSE22. We've hit a roadblock trying to run the Uninstall-WindowsFeature. It errors out on us. This is after a successful ADDS DEmo. The new server has all the new roles and is functioning correctly. We are looking for insight on getting this Uninstall-WindowsFeature to pass or an alternative to this step. Thanks!
Hi, I currently am running Windows Essentials 2016 with the built in VPN and remote web access feature. My insurance company is saying I don't meet compliance because port 443 is open to the public. How do I make this port or feature secure? I can close the port but then remote access won't work. I have tired creating a rule in Windows Firewall to only allow certain IP addresses but that doesn't seem to work. When I add a remote IP address to allow, it allows all to access again. Any ideas? Thank you.
Hello-- We are in the middle of a migration from WSE12 to WS22. I'm on step six section 5 of this guide . Before I spin my wheels I'd like to get an extra set of eyes on my issue. As the subject suggests I am getting a failed RREG on the new 22 server. I am also receiving a 'warn' under Basc. I've posted the log file for extra context. Any Additional info or advice would be very welcome. I am happy to supply more info if necessary. I look forward to hearing ...
