Windows Server installation media download - windows-server-2008-r2

I have a machine with Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation installed on it. I have label (WinSvr 2008 R2 Foundation ROK 1CPU) with product key on it.
Is it possible to perform clean installation and where can I find (download) installation media?

You can download the media from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/default.aspx. You can also contact MS and give them your key and they can send you a link to download.

How to install Access database engine on Microsoft Server 2012 R2

I need to install Microsoft Access database engine Redistributable on Microsoft Server 2012 R2. But i'm unable to install coz the supported operating system does not have Microsoft Server 2012 R2. Is there any other way to install or re-solve this!!
I thought Access ran on the server license. Not sure on this. You might just put a quick small Access file onto it and see if it will open and run.

TFS 2008 - 2012 upgrade can't install SharePoint extensions

I am testing an upgrade from TFS 2008 to TFS 2012. Currently I'm using SharePoint 2007 on a separate server, running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition w/ SP2. I do NOT want to upgrade SharePoint as part of the TFS upgrade.
My understanding is that to continue to use SharePoint with TFS 2012, the TFS extensions must be installed on the SharePoint server...
When running the tfs_sharePointExtensions.exe, I immediately get an error message that:
Error : TF400436 : Team Foundation Server Extensions can only be installed on a Server Operating Systems.
TFS setup did not detect an existing instance of SharePoint installation on this machine.
TFS SharePoint Extensions cannot be installed on a 32-bit operating system unless SharePoint is already installed.
Either install SharePoint manually on this machine, or run this installation on a 64-bit OS and we will install SharePoint for you.
In the installation log I see these lines:
Condition 'TFSDev10Installed' evaluates to false.
Condition 'NOT ((NTProductType = 3
AND (VersionNT64 = v6.0 OR VersionNT64 = v6.1 OR VersionNT64 = v6.2))
OR (VersionNT = v6.0 AND NTProductType = 3 AND
(SharePoint12_32bitExists OR SharePoint12_64bitExists OR
SharePoint14Exists)))' evaluates to true.
[Error] TF400436 : Team Foundation
Server Extensions can only be installed on a Server Operating Systems.
TFS setup did not detect an existing instance of SharePoint
installation on this machine. TFS SharePoint Extensions cannot be
installed on a 32-bit operating system unless SharePoint is already
installed. Either install SharePoint manually on this machine, or run

you.
This is clearly a server OS, 64bit, with SharePoint installed and running, so it isn't clear to me how I might be able to correct this. I haven't been able to get any guidance using Google.
Any ideas on what I might need to do to be able to continue with the SharePoint extensions installation?
the problem is the Server 2003 you can not install TFS2012 (or it's SharePoint-Extension) on Windows Server 2003
See Requirements:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd578592%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
or this:
Installing TFS Express on win 2003 server
Maybee you can try to Install the SharePoint extensions for TFS 2010 and try to connect them with your TFS 2012. Maybee this work.

Connect and develop with sharepoint server 2013

I recently setup a sharepoint server 2013 on our company and have found really good examples how you can override the suitbar with custom links.
Now that I'm trying to implement those examples i get to that point where Visual Studio 2012 and Office development tools is installed.
When i choose to start a new project I select New Project > Templates > Visual C# > Office/SharePoint > SharePoint Solutions > SharePoint 2013 Empty Project hit ok and i get an error that says Sharepoint not installed?
Am I supposed to install VS 2012 and develop om my Sharepoint 2013 server directly?
A very common way to develop SharePoint applications is to run a virtual machine (hyper-v under windows 8 for example) on your development workstation.
You can also dual-boot into a vhd file.
You can also install Windows Server 2012 and use one of the many desktop conversion techniques to use it as your primary operating system on your workstation.
Another often seen technique is to have a virtual machine hosted in the cloud or a datacenter, running both SharePoint Server and Visual Studio. Then connect to that machine using Remote Desktop.
With some trickery, you could have the SharePoint 2010 installer install om a workstation OS. This no longer works on SharePoint 2013. The reason this support was removed is due to the inclusion of Boot from VHD and Hyper-v into Windows 8.
It is my experience that if you just want to build your application and not run or debug it, that just having the assemblies copied over from an actual SharePoint Server will allow you to do that. I haven't found an updated document for SharePoint 2013 yet.
Yes. You have to develop on the sharepoint server directly using Visual Studio as Sharepoint server GAC has the required server object models to work programatically with sharepoint server object model.
You can aslo develop on client machine using Client Object Model or WCF Data Services Framework.

Unable to install sharepoint 2010 in Windows 7

I am facing problem while installing Sharepoint 2010 Server on Windows-7 Professional I have followed the steps given in this MSDN page. Still I am getting the following error while trying to run Setup.exe.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks
It seems that SharePoint Server 2010 is only compatible with
Windows Server 2008 x64. But it's not. check this.
Source: Installing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 on Windows 7 x64
It is much simple to do this. Just a little work and your SharePoint Installation ready to work on Windows 7 64 bit Client OS.
You can simply install SharePoint Server 2010 on your client OS just by modifying a config file.
Copy CD contents to a folder on your hard drive and Follow following steps:
Go to the Files folder
Go to the Setup folder
Open config.xml
Add the following line before the closing </configuration> tag
<Setting Id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/>
Save the file and Run the Setup.exe. now it will work fine.
Remember: These lines are Case Sensitive so Write them correct.
On Windows 7, install the following additional prerequisites required before running Setup.exe:
Microsoft FilterPack 2.0. At a command prompt, type the following:
installation directory folder\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilterPack.msi
Microsoft Sync Framework
SQL Server Native Client
Windows Identity Foundation (Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu)
Chart Controls (this is not required if you are going to install SharePoint Foundation 2010).
SQL Server Analysis Services - ADOMD.Net (this is not required if you are going to install SharePoint Foundation 2010).
For more detailed installation tutorial go through MSDN - Setting Up the Development Environment for SharePoint 2010 on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008
It seems like your copy of Sharepoint 2010 Server is intended to be installed onto a machine running Win Server 2008 SP2 or later. Not win 7. Either upgrade your machine or see if there's a more compatible copy of share point server.
