Determine GPO from GUID or Name

Learn how to determine the GPO name from its GUID in PowerShell and the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)

Determine GPO from GUID or Name When troubleshooting Group Policy issues in your network, sometimes the only identifier you’re given is a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier). If you’ve ever run a gpupdate /force command, you might notice that the output shows the GUID of the failing Group Policy Object (GPO) rather than its name. As a system administrator, it’s important to know how to translate…

Windows Server 2012 R2 End-of-Life

New Post has been published on https://www.aheliotech.com/blog/windows-server-2012-r2-end-of-life/

Windows Server 2012 R2 End-of-Life

What Does “End-of-Life” Really Mean? 

The short answer is, after October 2023, businesses still using Microsoft Server 2012 R2 will no longer receive critical security updates and patches. At this point, AhelioTech is recommending any clients using Microsoft Server 2012 R2 update your server operating system now. 

When Does Windows Server 2012 R2 Go End-of-Life? 

Unlike its higher-profile software offerings, such as Microsoft 365, Microsoft has a specific lifecycle for its Windows Server products. 

More specifically, these operating systems are released under what is known as Microsoft’s Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC).  In a nutshell, this means that each product is supported for 10 years: the first five of which are known as  mainstream support, and the second five known as  extended support. 

As of October 2018, Server 2012 R2 entered its “extended support” phase, which will end in October 2023.  

Why is This a Problem for Your Organization? 

Cyberattackers know this timeline too! It is almost certain that cyberattackers will be waiting patiently for the product’s extended support to end, at which point they will do all they can to find exploits. 

If you continue running the server operating system, you are exposing your data and your network to potential breaches. 

What does that really mean?  Mainstream Support vs. Extending Support 

This is a simple breakdown of mainstream support vs. extended support for products such as the Windows Server range of operating systems: 

Mainstream support is essentially the glory days of a Microsoft product. It is the first five years of the product’s lifespan, and it is being continually updated with new features, service packs, updates, fixes, and more. Microsoft also offers real-time support (i.e. phone support) during this phase.  The earlier you invest in a product during its mainstream support phase, the more you’ll get out of it in the long-term – up to a decade, if you play your cards right. 

Extended support refers to the latter five years of product support per the LTSC system.  It is no longer the focus of the Microsoft team and will likely have been succeeded by at least one more product in the meantime. During extended support, customers will only receive critical security updates and reliability patches. Non-security hotfixes will not be delivered unless the customer has an extended support agreement with Microsoft – and that comes at a cost. 

What happens when Extended Support ends? 

The most important thing to remember about extended support is that, once it is expired, the product will be almost entirely unprotected by Microsoft.  So, after October 2023, Windows Server 2012 R2 will no longer receive any security updates or critical patches for key exploits.  You won’t even be able to pay for support anymore, as you can during extended support – the product is simply unsupported going forward. 

You do not want to leave your organization exposed to cyberattacks.  It is time to upgrade now to prevent any network breaches.    

What are the next steps? 

Start budgeting and planning for either replacement hardware or cloud server option.  Contact AhelioTech at sales@aheliotech.com to start planning your server replacement project in 2023.

The Legacy and Lasting Impact of Windows Server 2012

Introduction

In the world of enterprise-level computing, Microsoft has been a constant presence for decades, providing robust and reliable solutions for businesses of all sizes. One of their significant contributions to the server operating system landscape was Windows Server 2012, a platform that left an indelible mark on the industry. In this article, we'll delve into the legacy and lasting impact of Windows Server 2012.

Windows Server 2012: A Brief Overview

Windows Server 2012, often referred to as "Win2012," was released in September 2012 as the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. It was a part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, sharing the same core architecture as its predecessor. However, it brought significant improvements and introduced innovative features that made it a popular choice for businesses worldwide.

1. Enhanced Virtualization Capabilities

One of the standout features of Windows Server 2012 was its remarkable enhancement in virtualization capabilities. It introduced Hyper-V 3.0, Microsoft's virtualization platform, which offered better scalability, more advanced management tools, and support for multi-tenancy. This allowed businesses to consolidate their servers, reduce hardware costs, and streamline IT operations.

2. Improved Security

Security has always been a paramount concern in the world of IT, and Windows Server 2012 addressed this concern with several important features. It included BitLocker drive encryption for safeguarding data at rest and introduced Dynamic Access Control, which provided fine-grained control over file access and permissions. Additionally, the introduction of the Security Configuration Wizard made it easier to configure and audit security settings.

3. Cloud Integration

As cloud computing gained traction, Windows Server 2012 embraced this trend by integrating seamlessly with Microsoft's cloud platform, Azure. This integration allowed businesses to build hybrid cloud solutions, enabling them to leverage the power of the cloud while maintaining control over their on-premises infrastructure.

4. Improved Remote Access

Windows Server 2012 introduced DirectAccess, a feature that simplified and improved remote access for users. It eliminated the need for traditional VPNs, providing a more seamless and secure connection experience for remote workers.

5. Scalability and Performance

Win2012 brought significant improvements in terms of scalability and performance. It supported up to 64 virtual processors and 1 terabyte of memory for virtual machines, ensuring that businesses could handle increasingly demanding workloads with ease.

The Lasting Impact

Although Windows Server 2012 has been succeeded by newer versions, its impact on the IT world continues to be felt to this day. Many businesses still rely on this robust operating system for their critical workloads, and its legacy is evident in the evolution of subsequent Windows Server editions. Here are some of the lasting impacts:

1. Influence on Subsequent Versions

The innovations introduced in Windows Server 2012 served as the foundation for subsequent iterations of the operating system. Features like improved virtualization, enhanced security, and cloud integration have become standard expectations for modern server platforms.

2. Paving the Way for Hybrid Cloud

The seamless integration of Windows Server 2012 with Azure set the stage for the rise of hybrid cloud solutions. Today, hybrid cloud deployments are a common strategy for organizations seeking the flexibility of the cloud while retaining control over their infrastructure.

3. Enhanced Security Practices

The focus on security in Windows Server 2012 has had a lasting impact on how organizations approach cybersecurity. The principles of least privilege and fine-grained access control introduced in Win2012 have become best practices in securing data and resources.

Conclusion

Windows Server 2012 may have reached its end of life in 2023, but its legacy endures in the world of enterprise computing. Its impact on virtualization, security, cloud integration, and remote access continues to shape how businesses design and manage their IT infrastructure. As we look back on the enduring influence of Windows Server 2012, we can appreciate the role it played in advancing the capabilities of server operating systems and setting the stage for the modern data center.

All about the Windows Server 2012 Standard

Whether you operate as a systems administrator, professional or chief information officer for a major organization, the Windows Server 2012 standard will benefit you immensely. This Windows Server 2012 standard may be viewed as a giant step forward from Windows Server 2000. Since there aren't many versions available, licensing is simpler. The two versions are data center and standard. The number of virtual machines that may be launched simultaneously on Windows Server 2012 Standard is the sole distinction between the two versions.

 Applications and versions used

 Server 2012 basics can be used by small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. If your company is even smaller, with less than 15 employees, you can use the foundation. The Windows Server 2012 Foundation edition is only available from top original equipment manufacturers such as Dell. Otherwise, it is already installed on the hardware. Data storage has been one of the most crucial expenses for IT organizations in recent years.

 Even the size of the storage market has expanded by 30% in the last few years. Keeping this in mind, Microsoft's latest version has a deduplication capability. This is a feature of the Windows Storage Server. The goal of deduplication in this case is to reduce redundant spaces.

 Saves storage space

 The goal of deduplication in this case is to reduce duplicated spaces by over 91% across all operating system installations. As a consequence, hundreds of gigabytes are saved. The Deduplication capability is included into the core Windows operating system. Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 is the finest software program to utilize for high-impact and dynamic presentations. The images are stunning. Microsoft SQL Server 2016 would be suitable for business analytics and database administration in a corporate IT setting.

 The trim option is another feature of Windows Server 2012 Standard. The objective behind introducing the trim option is to avoid allocating a large amount of storage to a virtual machine. It takes about a year for the virtual machine to use it.

 Reclaim your storage

 So, rather than supplying a big quantity of storage to the virtual machine, you might start small. You can eventually let it to develop in controlled volumes. This will decrease storage waste. As a result, you have access to the majority of the resources. The data will be archived once the study is completed. Now the storage space may be reduced. Microsoft has created the trim feature to assist you in reclaiming storage.

This is for moving unneeded storage space. You may return it to the center pool. All apps may make use of this. Hundreds of thousands of businesses are genuinely straining to spend money on pricey hardware storage area networks. Not to mention the associated software counterparts. Thus, as opposed to purchasing the third-party tools this will be a less expensive alternative to organizing or locating pricey storage options.

Dynamic access control

The consumption of so many distinct inexpensive drives will be reduced by one trustworthy huge software pool. In a similar vein, you may boot the device without a disk. It is feasible to migrate live without shutting anything down. However, under this Windows Server 2012 standard, dynamic access control and Power Shell options are also quite helpful. In addition, Microsoft Excel 2013 has many other uses for task management, time management, graphing and charting, programming, financial analysis, data management, accounting, and data input.
