Whereas, the WSEE installer performs a much more complete, and proper, installation i. You should simply continue to enjoy it as it stands. Thx, Mike. Your manual process is still working, only two things: Setting -All gives an error — but can omitted as somebody mentioned, and the server name is not changed and cannot be changed later.
So change server name before starting the process. In every test I run, the server always gets re named properly for me here. I tried again, still no change of name. The EE part works well, the WS part not so much. I end up with a very limited administrator role, cannot access the network adapter or change the name of the server. When I expand the administrator role, I get locked out of the server on the well known trust issue. Now getting your product. Your installer works as intended, it seems.
I must have made an error somewhere in the manual process. Long running R2 Essentials server, in-place upgrade to Server Essentials. Bare metal restore to R2 Essentials. In-place upgrade to Server Essentials.
Create a server backup just in case I need to roll back to In-place upgrade to Server Standard. First problem: All of the server essentials services were set to disabled. Turned on what I needed to automatic and rebooted. Hey, would you look at that? Dashboard looked much happier. Only thing I seem to have lost are the server backups from and In place upgrades from prior versions of Windows Server Essentials and even domain migrations are just going to end up causing you a lot of extra work and grief in the long run.
Thus, and as Robert Pearman mentions in his article, it only seems to present itself as an issue when doing an in place upgrade from prior versions of Windows Server Essentials to Windows Server Essentials.
Nice find on locating and linking us to his fix for the problem though. Windows Server Essentials , etc. The wizard will then recognize the in place upgrade, and configure it accordingly.
I have been using this on a server of almost a year now with everything working great. I have upgraded my Windows 10 PCs to version and now they show offline and not available in the console. Doing that will force the connector software to skip joining the client computer to your domain a second time and messing up your user profile on the client computer.
Thereby saving you a lot of grief in the long run. I get the following error:. Can that be language related or build related page redirects me to What version of Windows Server vNext are you using? Received my first update for the experience role and all updated perfect. Thanks for your continious support Mike. The latest NET Framework 4. Great Guide. First time running through it. Everything went fairly smoothly minus some missing spaces in my copy paste in step 6 preventing service creation until step 8.
The system cannot find the file specified. InvokeEsse ntialsConfigureServiceCommand. You must of missed it while performing step 4 in the manual install instructions. Now there is a new build available: Windows Server Preview Build I could download that and upgrade, but that would be wise, I suppose? Microsoft is currently releasing new builds of it at a feverous pace about once every week or two. I had a working setup a year or so ago when the article was published, but my recent attempts at this all fail.
I went as far as installing server , updating it as of Jan 1 , installing the role, but not configuring it, then sharing the whole c drive. Went back to my box and wrote a script in cmd to run all the powershells in order, then robocopy the files. Did the services, the firewall rule, and vpn fix. But I cannot start wssconfiguration from powershell. The solutions there were to ensure the config wizard was not run on the install. Does the installer available free with purchase of another product still work on the most recent server install?
Are you running the PowerShell cmdlet from an elevated i. Run as administrator PowerShell prompt? Good luck! Thanks for your reply, Im sure its much more straight forward with the installer, I need to look over your products and either choose the least expensive or see what seems interesting. If you want to look at it, here is my script that I am running as admin as a notepad file saved as wsee. I have tried it manually too, The error I get running it on a bare stock version of winserver with all the switches is.
So its something in the files not allowing wssconfigurationservice to start. I was wondering if it had to do with the latest build versions of winserver or winserver, since this write up and the original source files are just over 2 years old.
A final question on the installer, If I license your least expensive product and use the installer on my dc, but then reimage it say a year down the line, or upgrade to , will your installer still work since its the same physical pc? This could possibly be due to a permissions issue on the following file:.
If you simply re-install on the exact same Windows Server product edition e. Standard or Datacenter , and underlying hardware or VM configuration , then you will be just fine even after in place upgrading to , etc.
Perfect, thanks Mike, Im still looking into your products on what may be valuable in a homelab environment, but just to update. I did get the manual method working, my script actually had two typos in it, one line i robocopyed from z: to z: instead of c: thus not actually copying anything, that was the start menu and if you look closely at the wsssetupcmdlets copy, you will notice that i am copying it to the wrong directory, thus not allowing the setup to run.
I have corrected these errors, and all ran well. Thanks again for your pointers. Sorry to make a software dev read through my terrible batch programming. But hey, it was quick and dirty, and in the end after fixing typos, it did work. Im sure theres a more efficient way of writing it, but I like automation, which is why im still probably going to buy a product to look into the installer.
Glad to hear that you found those typos, and correcting then resolved your issue. Nice sleuthing! So hopefully that will just fix me up. Thanks for your support. Thanks again Mike, I plan to format and reinstall serverstandard prior to using your installer just to ensure nothing goes wrong. Its a Homelab and not production, so I can do that basically whenever I choose lol, but as for the VPN fix, I have already applied both of those.
The error I am getting is more similiar to what is described here: Set up Anywhere Access wizard completed with errors, VPN was not configured successfully. I am going to wait to see what happens when using your installer. Just to update, it seems like everything went well when using your installer, Anywhere Access and VPN have installed and configured successfully.
Perhaps Mike, you may want to look into silently installing this package with the WSEE Installer, just to save users that step. Folks will simply need to follow the download link that Microsoft provides and manually install the appropriate version of the Windows ADK on their servers for themselves if they want to enable the client restore feature.
I remember seeing this message when I used it last time, but I thought I could proceed at my own risk. Now it just ends the install. I do not care about any other pre-WSE19 features. Is there a way to only install the WS backups feature? Why not just convert i. Can I use a previous installer version to do the install anyways? It has worked perfectly for me on the server I have reloaded a few times. Hi Mike! I installed the Install WSE Experience on Server successfully and was able to configure everything per your excellent write up.
Please contact your administrator. Other than that, have you by chance disabled TLS 1. If so, then you might want to try temporarily re-enabling TLS 1. One thing I did not work out is whether you have to setup e. Is there a way to run the configuration wizard for the Essentials Experience rather than doing it through the command line? If not, then it is probably worth calling out the need for these steps to be done as part of the preparation steps as, once setup it seems impossible to change some of these settings, at least if the server is the Primary Domain Controller.
Glad to hear that the manual installation went well for you. WSEE sure does work really nice on it though. For more info on why see here. This is just one of the many things that the WSEE Installer nets you over attempting to do the installation manually. The WSEE Installer will result in a MUCH more proper, complete, secure, and maintainable installation seeing as it does way more than I could ever possibly explain in a succinct list of manual install steps.
Got the health warning that an update was available, so I downloaded and ran the updater. It seemed to work okay, but I still have the health warning. Does it still come back again even after doing that? Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Thanks for looking into it! Have you done the tests? The Microsoft Online Integration Services seem to be a real mess. That being said… I broke down yesterday and set up a 30 day trial for Microsoft Premium , and tried testing out the integration stuff.
Sure enough, it always fails with the the above mentioned generic error under both and Microsoft has also implemented something called security defaults in Azure Active Directory , and since enforcing the enabling MFA on all of your user accounts within 14 days is part of this security feature, you will need to disable it as follows:. My question is how do I fix the issues with Microsoft Cloud Integration Services failing when configuring them?
Unfortunately, there are just way too many steps involved in making the online services integration features work properly for me to be able to provide them within the succinct list of manual install steps which are already fairly lengthy and complicated.
If I already followed the guide and have WSEE working on Windows , but need to get Office Integration working can I just run the installer, or do I need to remove it and start over? I would agree but it would be a lot of work to rebuild this server.
I ran the install and it appears to have worked. Office integration is now working. Thank you for the help. Thanks for letting everyone know. Only I had prob with setup, but after I created domain manually, everything went smooth. Is the license somehow connected to a hardware fingerprint?
Because the only thing that comes to mind is that I have upgraded my motherboard and cpu in my server since originally installing wse. Any way to get that fixed up?
Yes it is. Registration Key be reset in order to resolve that issue. I took a few days off to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior with friends and family. Can I deploy N. For this scenario the branch office server have to be a dc? Please let me know. As mentioned in the main article above, the WSEE Installer is only made available to existing license holders of our software products e.
Thanks Mike, Just wanted to confirm for other interested persons, the installation of WSEE on server standard which had been updated in place from a configured Server Essentials server. The event logs indicated the error, which was the permissions on a registry key. All domain settings, Azure backup and other applications working without any changes. Thanks for the pointer to the permissions error on the registry key.
Thanks for taking the time to let everyone know how the install went for you. Alas, after severe messing around to get VPN access working, the Devices tab no longer shows the Server itself. Is there any way to add the Essentials server back to the Server Device tab? Hi Mike, now that server went into preview Announcing Windows Server —now in preview do you suggest to switch I always like to be as updated as possible or do I have to reinstall when final version is out.
All of your settings, etc. What is your policy on refunds if by chance the installer does not work after purchasing a product for the purpose of downloading the installer? The thread is a bit long. As stated on our Policy page , we have a no-questions-asked day refund policy on all of our software packages. That being said… Please do be aware that if you request a refund, then the license for your purchased product as well as for the WSEE Installer will be deactivated, and so any installation of the product or of WSEE that has been installed via the WSEE Installer will cease to function once the license has been deactivated.
Thanks Mike! After a bit of troubleshooting and help from everyone here I was able to get it working like a charm. Thanks a million! I do plan on still purchasing remoteapp. Thanks again! As mentioned last month May , thread is getting older however Mike is readily available to support his fine product line WSEE.
With WSEE being so easy to work with, can continue working in my comfort level again within a home based domain. Is it normal for users to lose connection and access to files after an update is installed with a reboot? I manually had to login them back into the connector at each computer.
It is quite normal to lose connection installing e. Yes, it periodically checks the validity of the license, and to see if any updates are available for the WSEE bits that were installed. No personal information is sent as per our privacy statement.
Thank you for the response. We have strict firewall policies which will probably result in the connection being blocked. Does that mean we will not be able to use the WSEE installer? If so, do you recommend a manual install? Hi Mike I bought a new server, and as I see my license is assigned to another server. Which is quite right. Can I uninstall or delete the old server to free my license, or what?
Setup all the Services and the firewall rule. NET folders to copy your list shows , but you mention in a previous post? Checking the event log and it shows that it has two main errors on. Then I mentioned that I forgot to install the five features via powershell on the target server first. After doing that, the second run was successsful. Take a look at the adprep output and the group membership of the local Administrator Upgrade went fine and Essentials Dashboard went away.
Somehow expected…. After that I have had the Dashboard back again and I have done some basic tests server backup Currently everything looks good, but for sure I will do some additional testing with clients and so on…. Glad to hear that your in-place upgrade to with WSEE manually installed worked out well.
Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone. Before I attempt a rollback and test I wanted to check with this community to see if others are having the same problem or not. Thanks, Joe. If you sort the folder by date modified, then all of the most recent log files will appear at the top, making it easier for you to locate the more relevant ones to look through. Thanks for the reply. The error has been intermittent since the update. The Health Assessment appears to run every 30 minutes.
The error will sometimes clear itself but then may return with the next assessment. My WSEE was installed many many months ago using the installer. Thanks again Mike! While you investigate I think I will try reversing the update on the non-critical server and let you know.
Whenever the health of the server is evaluated, a configuration file for the online services is automatically downloaded to the following location on the server:. Hopefully someone reports it to Microsoft and they correct the issue bug soon.
I would expect the error to remain constant if the config file is corrupt. And again and at least in my case across both of my servers, the error did not ever present itself on the dashboard prior to the update. If that makes sense. And so the Bing. Glad to do it….
Mike, I have now posted this problem on several forums including the Microsoft. Do you have a link to where you posted it on the Microsoft. Unfortunately, if Microsoft is monitoring or participating in that forum they are staying silent on the matter. FYI, I have now corrected this particular issue in the latest Version Trying to install the server connector on a clean install of windows 10 21H1. Can anyone report success using the connector from windows 10 21H1?
And you are done. Every time you install a feature update for Windows 10, the connection between the server and the clients gets broken. I had blamed this on being a new version of windows, but after looking at logs I can see that it really boils down to a certificate on the server for https that is no longer valid, somehow… Going through the WSE RemoteAccess repair wizard seems to not work at all, despite many attempts.
The foo. Installer tells me, that my license is used on another server … Best regards. I read in the article that Server performs much better than which is great news because it has always been sluggish. But I am torn between or I mainly use this for backing up clients. Any thoughts from anyone on what you would do?
Windows Server is more secure offering both TLS 1. Thanks for the quick reply and advice. I will go with Server I am thinking of keeping it and let it update once a month and see if any of the Essentials files were updated. Thanks for figuring all this out.
Am on with Mikes experience role installed now for couple of weeks. All very smoothly without ANY issues came form , highly recommended. I went with and all is working great. I do have one odd issue. I am not sure if you are using it for client backups but when I set mine up I have an item called Local Disk in my Select which items to back up. I do have Halo series I bought from the Microsoft Store but have no idea why it sees some of these folders under an item called Local Disk.
It is odd. Hi Mike, I had an Essentials and downgraded it to a standard server. Then I upgraded the server standard to a inplace. After I have removed it without restarting the wizard runs through but does not recognize the existing domain.
