Windows Server 2016 Upgrade

When updating from windows server 2012 R2 to server 2016, I'm not getting the step by step procedures where you can select keep file and apps and other steps. I just get the setup screen, which after couple of minutes it display a window to select what type of windows server you want to install.

Once selected it does a full install of windows server 2016, which re-images the C drive. Afterwards you have to re-install all your applications.

Any suggestions on why it doesn't go through the step by step procedures.

Thank you,

Ron

 

Black Screen on User Login Windows Server 2016 Terminal Server

I have randomly only Black Screen, when a User logs on to a Windows 2016 Terminal Server.

The Server ist fully patched trough Windows Update.

I tried already lot of suggestions that I have found in forums on the internet - nothing helped.

As lots of other Admins are facing a similar problem with in different configuration, I think this should be addressed by Microsoft - or does anyone have an idea on how to solve it?

- The Terminal Server is running on a esxi 6.5 Server in my case - but I have seen other Admin having the same problem on hardware install as well

- Chrome is installed on my Terminal Server

- Around 50 people are working on this Terminal Server

- The problem seems to occur daily with random users

- All Users can be affected by the problem

- Ctrl+Alt+End does work (so the User could logoff himself or start Task Manager)

- There is no log of this issue

 

What will happen on Jan 20, 2016?


Strollin: I understand your suggestion, but that means I'll have to re-install all my sofftware etc. again. This is not an enticing thought at all.

LCDR: I tried the old activation code I used before - it is the same on you posted.

I tried the steps listed at the WinAero site. Last one failed because it said the server could not be located. But I did get the Jan 20, 2016 date back. So that's something.
