Windows Server 2012 is an industry-leading group of server operating systems which serves to provide a combination of services that can help small to large businesses to deploy and scale modern applications and websites.

Windows Server 2012 is the successor of Windows Server 2008, boasting an improved array of features, most of them focused on cloud computing. It is also known as Windows Server 8, which is not odd, because it was designed as a server edition of Windows 8.

It includes the same Metro-based approach that Windows 8 sports, although its appearance hasn’t led to the same amount of controversies that the latter experienced; as opposed to it, it managed to gather good reviews, overall.

It makes itself available in three different editions: Datacenter - recommended for highly virtualized environments, Standard – appropriate for minimally virtualized companies and Essentials – a solution for small business that don’t exceed 25 users.

Windows Server 2012 has undergone a few changes compared with Windows Server 2008, amongst which we must mention the IP address management, the improved Windows Task Manager, the new ReFS file system, as well as updates for Hyper-V, the company’s virtualization platform.

Also, compared to its predecessor, Windows Server 2012 brings an option to switch between two installation options, namely ‘Server with a GUI’ and ‘Server Core’ without the need of a new deployment process.

By far, the most craved and discussed feature is the ReFS file system, a new technology that inherits some of NTFS’ architecture, which protects data against common errors, preventing loss or downtime by prioritizing the availability of data.

The tendency that can be noticed with Windows Server 2012 is the predominance of virtualization and predilection to use the cloud technology, which is a natural and correct approach, considering the evolution of data transfer technologies throughout the last years.

By embedding all that is necessary to handle the needs of so many industries, regardless of their size, Windows Server 2012 becomes the enterprise-class solution that simplifies IT deployment and maintenance. Complete list of irregular verbs pdf.

I want to use AppVeyor to build an application for Windows. The compiler is GNAT GPL 2016 (Ada) for Windows x86.

I get the following message:

Program 'gnat-gpl-2016-x86-windows-bin.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.

Questions:

  • Does Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter not support 32-bit applications?
  • Is Wow64 missing?
  • What does DataExecutionPrevention_32BitApplications : True mean?

Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem FL * prints out (shortened):

This question was moved from StackOverflow to ServerFault.
Has Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (64-bit) no 32-bit support?

Edit:

It looks like DataExecutionPrevention_32BitApplications is hindering me to run the installer. How can I run the installer in 32-bit compatibility mode from PowerShell? I have no GUI to select such an option.

Server 2012 R2 is not available in a 32bit version of the OS (for all versions) but they are able to run 32bit applications as with all other 64bit Windows OS's and WOW64 is present, so I do not think that is the problem. That is unless you are one of the few people running on an Itanium processor?

DataExecutionPrevention_32BitApplications : True means that Data Execution Prevent is enabled for 32bit applications. DEP is a process built into the OS that conducts checks on memory to help prevent malicious code from running. DEP has been know to cause issues with older applications so you do have the option to disable it either for everything but critical systems, or for specific applications.

Windows Server 2012 R2 support x86's model application, but on the other hand needed dependancy for your .exe are surelly not installed. (like vcruntime x86, etc.)

I seen your comment on the other thread that the .exe is called from powershell, please use the x86's powershell's console for such's task.
