Hi guys and girls,

 

I have inherited a server 2012r2 host with a 2012r2 DC. I am trying to install the Windows Server Backup role using the add roles and features wizard, but keep getting errors (see attached capture).

 

When looking through the server manager dashboard I found the following 3 errors which I think are linked.

  

Faulting application name: tasklist.exe, version: 6.3.9600.17415, time stamp: 0x545042cc

I have also tried installing Windows Server Backup using powershell but receive the following error:

  

Add-WindowsFeature Windows-Server-Backup

Add-WindowsFeature : Server execution failed
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-WindowsFeature Windows-Server-Backup
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : DeviceError: (Microsoft.Manag...rDetailsHandle):CimException) [Install-WindowsFeature],
   Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnSupportedTargetDevice,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddWindowsFeatureComman
   d

I'm not really sure where to start looking to solve this, would anyone be able to help??

 

Many thanks

 

Mike

Apologies for the late reply. Seems the previous company in charge of this server didn't believe in updating servers. After installing a butt load of updates I was finally able to install windows server backup. Thanks for your help :)

      May be they wanted to keep it intentionally for Apple?
    • Raid 1 - How does it copy?

      By Sir Topham Hatt · Posted

      From what I understand, RAID 1 makes a copy of one disk. How does it do this? If something happened to one drive, could I take the other one out, plug it into a PC and use it like a normal disk? I have two hard drives that have the same information on - a bit of protection if one drive fails. But I've just been manually copying the data twice.
    • Microsoft SharePoint gets Modern Page Templates to speed up page creation

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft SharePoint gets Modern Page Templates to speed up page creation by Paul Hill SharePoint, Microsoft’s enterprise content management solution that allows organizations to set up internal pages and share documents, has just got a big update with the new Modern Page Templates. Microsoft said that it’s going to be rolling out the feature to customers globally between early July and early August. Organization members that want to set up pages on SharePoint using the new templates can do so from multiple entry points including the Site Home (the home of a Communication or Teams site), App Bar (the persistent navigation pane on the left of SharePoint), and the New Web Part (a webpart that displays and creates news posts directly on pages). By giving colleagues multiple access points to the new templates, there’s more chance they’ll be found and used. By including plenty of swanky templates, Microsoft is making it so you can spend less time designing pages, and more time filling them with content that really matters. If you want to create a new page using the templates, just go to New > Page and select a template “From Microsoft”. If you were making a news post, you would go to New > News post then you’d be presented with the new Template Gallery where you can select a custom template created by your colleagues under “Saved on this site”. While these new templates are coming to customers globally next month, Microsoft is already busy working on new features to make templates easier to discover and make them more useful. For example, it is building tenant-wide custom templates that can be published across sites for organization-wide use, and it’s working on Copilot templates that you can use when creating pages with Copilot. Neither of these features was given a release timeline. Customers won’t need to do anything to start using Modern Page Templates as they’ll be available automatically as it rolls out worldwide across tenants. For those who want to dive deeper, Microsoft will be publishing additional documentation and guidance about this feature soon.

      Unless there is “bug” that all of a sudden sends your messages to Meta. Where have I heard this before?!
