Windows CE 4.0 with Windows Server 2012 - windows

In my company, we have upgraded the Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 and we have some thin clients with an old version of RDP and they can't connect to the Server 2012 because when I does, I get this message: Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged on to the network, and then try connecting again.
Our thin clients are: Compaq Evo T30 and a Neoware CA19 and they have Windows CE 4.0 installed by default.
Searching in internet, I've found this tutorial: http://www.hjgode.de/wp/2014/03/12/windows-server-2012-rds-and-windows-mobile-connection-error/ but I can't apply it to our server because we don't want to have less security.
I've searched everything on internet to configure the Windows CE to be able to connect to our server 2012 but I can't find anything helpful :( Seriously, we don't want to apply the steps of the previous tutorial, we prefer buying new Thin Clients instead of doing that, but it will be better if there is a way to be able to connect to the server 2012 without changing anything in the server.
Anyone can help me? Please, it's very important.
Thanks in advance! :)

Unless there is a way to update your clients to a newer release of Windows CE that support new RDP versions (you should test that first) probably replacing them is the only option.

If a windows server 2012 gets an OS upgrade to windows server 2019 will all the WAS and HTTP server instances running on it get effected?

If a windows server 2012 gets a OS(Operating System) upgrade to windows server 2019 will all the WAS (WebSphere Application Server ) and HTTP server instances running on it get effected ?
I am very new to servers so this question may actually sound stupid. But please bear with me.
Yes, all instances of WAS and IHS will be affected.

Getting a COM+ component to work on a 2008 R2 server

We've got some ancient of days COM+ components that we wrote long ago, that we're trying to migrate onto a VM. Currently they're running on a Windows 2003 R2 server, working fine. But they're not working on a 2008 R2 server that the VM is. It appears as though we just can't "reach" them at all from the VB6 apps on the client machine. Now sure how to proceed from this point forward. Any ideas, as to how to diagnose this problem would be helpful, please.
You're not giving us very much information to go on.

Alternatively, you might find it easier to just install Windows 2000 as a standalone server on your VM, and run your application off of it.

Missed "instance configuration" step during SQL Server 2008 R2 installation

I have strange problem with installation of SQL Server 2008 R2. I am trying to install on Windows 7 x64 OS and there should be step named "Instance configuration". It's missed in my setup, after installation SQL services exist in system but there is no instance of server. Image of SQL Server 2008 R2 I downloaded from MSDN. I tried with Enterprise and Developer version with same result. Has anyone similar problem? What could cause that? I looked for some solution in web, I tried to uninstall all SQL items from 'Add/Remove Programs' and to clear registry - doesn't help. I will be very grateful for any tips.
Best regards
I've had a number of strange issues with SQL Server 2008 including that.
In my case it was on Windows Server 2008 x64 where I had the issues but I guess it would be a similar thing.
In my case it depended on my user rights, if I logged on with my credentials even though I am part of the Administrators group I had a number of different issues.
When loggin in as the built in Administrator it worked fine.
Launching installer as "Administrator" worked for me.

Expose MS Team Foundation Server 11 from home computer to Internet

Please help me with my noobish problem
I have laptop at home. I installed MS Windows Server 8 Beta on it, Visual Studio 11 Beta and MS Team Foundation Server 11 only for version control of my application, which I want to change at home (where my laptop-server is) and at work (where my another Visual Studio 11 Beta is).
So my major problem is that I can't easily expose my [home] TFS Server on Internet that I can see it from my work computer :(
I installed TFS Proxy, which generated a proxy URL for me like this: http://win-jnkseeeq4rl:8081/ (which works on LAN)
But of course, I can't get it to work on another (work) computer through Internet, because it doesn't resolve this kind of host.
At home I've got WiFi-router through which my laptop connected.
I think I must expose some ports on it, but I don't know how and is this a main problem really.
Thank you everyone for answers!!!
I run a TFS at home to support my consulting and have setup Remote Access Services using the PPTP protocol to run my inbound VPN. You generally just have to enable PPTP passthrough (GRE protocol) and forward TCP/1723 to your RAS server.
I also use Dynamic DNS to help find my public IP if it ever changes.
But I have to be honest, have you considered just using the TFSPreview.com service instead? I haven't switched over completely yet because I've already built my infrastructure and it's still a beta service but I could see myself doing it in the future.
Have you looked at the walkthrough here => http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb668967.aspx

Possible to show Visual Studio debugging server over LAN?

I am working on Windows Server 2008, and I am wondering if it is possible to show my debugging server to a peer over my LAN? What would I need to configure?
Thanks
The answer is you cannot show the built in debugging server anywhere other than localhost. To get around this I just added an entry to IIS and configured my network.
Thanks
