In this same way i tried to change my Network controller name in to "New Network card", it is changed temporally only . But after reboot it is coming back with default name as " Intel Gigabit Network connection".
Please let us know the solution. how to save the name in registry even after reboot also.

I have Windows server 2012 standard edition servers for my production environment. I would like to setup a DR site which will be 2000 kms away from my present site. Is there any limitations if i use windows backup utility for the same backup. Will a 8MBPS leased line be sufficient to support my backup to network location, if the size of data being backed up goes up to 1 TB? can anyone share me the procedure to configure the same and also suggest the recommended hard ware and networking requirements for this?
Thanks a lot.
I have been running the built in backup software on a 2012 server. Today I noticed that I only have 3 days of backups.
The server is 2012 running Hyper-V with 6 VMs. I had the backup software configured to backup all the VMS and a bare metal backup to an external 2 TB USB drive. I have been looking at the event logs and search the web without much success up to this point.
The event log does have the following information message:
Backup started a fresh backup for volume '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}' ('Esp') : [Reason: 'Volume size changed']. This may cause loss of older backup versions when backup completes.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to run a powershell script to backup my Server and Windows backup server has been installed. I do not know how to register the snap-ins so the backup can run from powershell.
the get-pssnapin command produces this:
Name : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core
PSVersion : 4.0
Description : This Windows PowerShell snap-in contains cmdlets used to manage components of Windows PowerShell.
The get-pssnapin -registered produces nothing.
add-pssnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 4.

Any ideas on what to do?
Hi,
I came across 'templateId' in one of my server's task schedulers and I was wondering,
is it possible to edit the template and if so where is it?
Let's say currently my server license is not activated.
I do a windows server backup image.
After that, I activate my license
If I restore the image, will the server have license activated or not?

Hi.
I'm having difficulties with moving my Windows Server 2008 R2 installation to new hardware.
After successfully performing a bare metal restore the system boots up, it's able to log me in and it starts installing drivers. Once it installs all it wants my IPMI controls suddenly stop working. I'm thinking about incorrect USB driver. Everything else in IPMI (e.g. power on/off) works fine, controls work in BIOS or when selecting boot options. But not when the OS boots up, even if it's Safe Mode.
Any suggestions, please?
Is there anyway to restore my Windows 7 after i installed by mistake Windows Server 2012 R2 ????
There is also no Duel-Boot to select Windows 7 Or Windows Server 2012 R2.
It load only Windows Server 2012 R2
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster that has a service that is installed on shared storage. On the passive node, the system state backups are failing because the path to the service executable does not exist. KB980794 existed for Server 2008, which contained a hotfix and a registry key that could be added to exclude the paths to binaries that should not be included in the system state backup.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SystemWriter\ExcludedBinaryPaths
Is there a similar method of excluding these paths in Windows Server 2012 that will allow the VSS snapshot to execute successfully?
Hello,
We have two physical Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Standard Domain Controllers and the system state backup on both fails with the same error.
We issue the command:
wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:c:
(NOTE: We did the REG fix to allow backups to the system volume)
and we get this as the output:
C:\Windows\system32>wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:c:
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool

Summary of the backup operation:

The backup of the system state failed [28/02/2010 21:27].

The operation ended before completion.
The parameter is incorrect.
C:\Windows\system32>
This happens on both servers and the two backup log files mentioned in the output are both empty.
There's no other information that I can find so I don't know what the "parameter" is or why it is incorrect.
Has anyne come across this problem and know what the error is referring to?
Thanks

Hi,
I have run daily backup of my server using Windows Server Backup. I have choose back up to a volume.
Currently the size of volume is almost full, only left 750MB. Will it compress the Windows Image Backup file by itself? and will it affect the performance server?
We are trying to write a script to automate the Restore of the most recent Windows Server Backup from a portable drive?
First part is to write a script to reload the backup catalog from the portable drive. What we have so far is:
$Bt = "\\?\Volume{58895c2e-a4f6-4143-8be0-83c858f516cc}\"
Restore-WBCatalog -BackupTarget $Bt -Force
But that doesn't work because it doesn't seem to like to volume label.
The second part is creating a command to start a WBAdmin restore using the latest latest volume to recover. This is where I could do with a few clues if anyone has any.
Thanks,
Nick
Hello All-
I'm facing a big problem relating to data loss. I have a situation where I am left only with a Windows Server Backup to restore my data. Second problem is that the farthest back date I have will not work as the data was already corrupt 5/9, data was fine 5/8.
My understanding of Windows Server Backup was that it creates a backup IMAGE like other software, Acronis, Shadow Protect, etc. If that was the case then I should be able to restore the server to 5/9 and still have my Shadow Copies/Previous Versions of the files to restore from the day before. I've tested and this is how other images work for 3rd party software, they are a exact copy of the server at the time the backup is create. In my case the WSB does not appear to contain these. I know for a fact that the VSS versions were there on 5/9, they went back a good month. Before I give up all hope I'm looking for a definitive answer to whether or not these Previous Versions should be there. I've contemplated contacting Microsoft and paying the $300 just to answer this one question. So I thought I would start here first. I've searched quite a bit and it's hard to find good info on how these backups actually work.
Any help is very greatly appreciated.
Thanks, -Dru
