We have a Windows machine that when remoted into, the only thing that comes up is a command prompt. I'm under the impression that this machine is set to being Windows Core. I'm looking to do this to another one of our machines (Windows Server 2016) but the machine is already setup and running with the desktop GUI. Is it possible to change / retroactively put the machine back to Windows Core?

I've beyondcompare licence for my windows machine and I can't use that licence for linux installation. I work on linux server via putty from my windows system.
I could launch linux visual merge tools like meld using X server. But I'm looking for a way to use X server/X11 to launch beyondcompare from my putty session. In short, I want to launch a windows application itself from the linux env over putty.
My last choice would be to pull changes to my windows machine and do a merge on windows; push it back. But it would be nice if I could launch beyondcompare from linux.
Any Ideas?
It isn't possible to launch a diff/merge in the Windows version of Beyond Compare from a Linux system via SSH. There are three possible workarounds:
Upgrade your license to a multi-platform license and use the Linux
version of Beyond Compare.
Run the Windows version of Beyond Compare on your Windows machine and access the files on the Linux machine using the SFTP support built into Beyond Compare Pro.
Install Mercurial on your Windows machine, then check out files and
diff/merge from there. See the Using Beyond Compare With Version
Control Systems article to configure BC as the
diff and merge tool for Mercurial on Windows.
I have Windows Server R2 DataCenter w/Hyper-V running, installed the SDK's for Windows Phone development and the Windows Phone Emulator 8.1 U1 is running. On my Windows 8.1 I use Visual Studio 2013 Community for my Universal App development and its also installed on the server.
As of now I have not made any settings changes on the server, so everything is at its default. I already had a working Universal App project running before deciding to use my server (due to I broke my Windows Phone device the other day) for testing my Window Phone app.
Now I have to do all my Windows Phone development on the Server after making modifications and addition to my Windows App on my development machine (NOTE: Windows 8.1 doesn't have a VT cpu).
So my question is, is it possible to add the Windows Emulator 8.1 U1 to my Windows 8.1 project from the Server? This way I don't to keep going to the Server to test the Windows Phone app.
Updated 4-1-2015: additional information and better explanation of question.
Thanks!...
As I understand, you'd like to be able to do the following:
You have a machine X for development, which you can't install emulators on
You have a server Y w/ Phone emulator running
You want to deploy your app directly from machine X to server Y
Unfortunately, remote debugging/deployment to an emulator hosted on a different machine is not supported by VS, at least as far as I'm aware. :(
One thing you could try is using Team Foundation Build to automatically build and deploy your app on your R2 server. You could implement it such that anytime you checked code in, it would be available for ad-hoc testing on your server a few minutes later. This would still mean using Remote Desktop to use the remote emulator, but it would automate the work of getting your changes over to the server. That way you wouldn't have to develop directly on the server.
I have Visual Studio 2013 (running on the host machine - Windows 8.1 Single Language).
I was able to enable my hardware virtualization features and run the Windows Phone 8 emulator on a virtual machine (through Oracle VirtualBox).
I don't have Windows 8.1 Pro (and it costs money to upgrade), so I can't use Hyper-V.
So, I have the code running on my Visual Studio and an Emulator running on a VM in Oracle VirtualBox. Now, I want these two to connect so that the app can be seen on my emulator. But I can't find a way to do that. Can I do something (maybe connect the two on the same network and use the emulator as a device or something like that) in order to make this happen?
Thanks
You could try using the Application Deployment Tool.
Usually found here:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\XapDeploy.exe
You would have to get your compiled XAP to the virtual machine, using a shared folder between host and virtual machine for example.
Then select the device (Emulator) and the XAP and hit deploy.
I hope this helps!
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on Windows Server 2008. I have done all the process till the Installation correctly. However, the installer displays the message "Managed SQL Server Installer has stopped working".
No online Solution has been provided yet....
Anyone sorted this problem before?
This is usually a problem with your installation of .NET framework. E.g:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/34671131-a095-4068-b4d8-ab5ef6f5b8cc/managed-sql-server-installer-has-stopped-working
Check that your installations are all in working order by using the tools on this site:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx
You may have to re-install any or all of your .NET framework versions.
Instead of trying several methods that have not been approved, it is better to repair the MSSQL Server installation. On the other hand, there is some other issues that can be encountered during the repair process i.e. Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 as shown below.
In this case, if you have trouble during .NET Framework installation, you can install it by following the steps below (requires Windows 8, 8.1 or 10) setup disc or ISO file):
1) First you'll need to copy Windows 8 setup files to your hard disk. If you have Windows 8 setup ISO copied in your system, you can mount it by right-click on it and select "Mount" option or you can extract its content using 7-Zip.
If you have Windows 8 setup disc and don't want to copy its content, its ok. Just insert the disc in your CD/DVD drive so that Windows can access its content.
2) Now open Command Prompt as Administrator as mentioned here and then provide following command:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:F:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
Here "F:" represents the CD/DVD drive letter in your system which contains Windows 8 setup disc. Replace it with the correct drive letter according to your system.
If you extracted Windows 8 setup files in a directory, replace F:\sources\sxs with the correct path.
3) As soon as you execute the above mentioned command, Windows will start installing .NET Framework 3.5 in your system and it'll not require Internet connection.
It'll take a few minutes and you'll get a message that the operation completed successfully.
4) That's it. Now you have installed .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 without using Internet connection.
For more information have a look at How to Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Offline in Windows 8 and Later without Internet Connection?. Hope this helps...
Visual Studio lets you fire up a Windows 8 simulator to test apps. By default, the simulator uses the same user account as my machine. Is there a way to specify a different account?
This answer comes with one important caveat: It will require an installable (registerable) version of Windows 8.
Use the Hyper-V Manager to create a new virtual machine and install Windows 8 on that. You will be able to create whatever accounts you need, either local or Microsoft accounts. Install the Visual Studio 2012 Remote Debugging tool on that machine. In my case, I joined the VM to my local WORKGROUP.
In your VS 2012 project, you can then select Remote Machine instead of Simulator or Local. If, for some reason, the remote connections dialog box doesn't show up to allow you to select the VM, you can also go to Properties > Debug > Start Options and select Remote Machine and use the Find button to locate it.
