Migrate linode to google cloud platform - migration

I currently have an application running on a ubuntu server on linode. I wonder if I can move the settings and files to the google cloud platform without having to reconfigure and install everything again.

You can migrate VM with Cloudendure[1] service to Google Cloud Platform free of charge [2]. Keep in mind that is limited to the following operating systems [3]:
Windows:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 64 bit
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 64 bit
Windows desktop operating systems are not supported.
Linux:
SUSE Linux (SLES) 11 or above
Debian Linux 8
Kali Linux 2.0
Ubuntu 12.04 or above
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.0 or above
CentOS 6.0 or above

Hyper-V machine version

I have a cluster with Hyper-V machines version 5.0 and 8.0. I want to replicate these to another server. This server was a Windows 2012R2, but to receive the 8.0 machine, i did an in-place upgrade to Windows 2016.
I have been fighting with replicating. I received an error "Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine - The request is not supported" with an errorcode of 0x80070032.
After a lot of investigation, i have found out, that i am missing the 8.0 machine configuration:
PS C:\Users\administrator.CBIT> Get-VMHostSupportedVersion
Name Version IsDefault
---- ------- ---------
Microsoft Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 5.0 True
Prerelease 254.0 False
Experimental 255.0 False
C:\Users\administrator.CBIT>ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]
If I create a new machine I get the wizard with the 2. generation question. Some how the Hyper-V manager is the new version. But it will still store an version 5.0 configuration file.
How do i get the Hyper-V running version 8.0?
Thanks
Thomas
The solution was to raise the Cluster Functional Level from 8 to 9. After this version 8.0 was accepted.

Get-Cluster -Name localdemo.demo.local | Update-ClusterFunctionalLevel

PHP 5.5 and MSSQL driver: Installing ODBC Driver 11 in Windows Server 2012 R2

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS 8.5, and another server with MSSQL 2012. I must install PHP in IIS and connect to MSSQL, and I don't have Internet available for Web PI.
I managed to install PHP 5.5 and I'm able to run phpinfo(), and I also assured that php.ini is being loaded from C:\php\php.ini.
I was also able to load sqlsrv driver, it reports in example sqlsrv.ClientBufferMaxKBSize 10240 10240.
But when I execute a php file that connects to DB, I get a message
This extension requires the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server. Access the following URL to download the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server for x86: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712
I went to that site and it says
Supported operating systems for version 3.1 of the driver include Windows Server 2012 R2`.
It says
Version 3.1 requires Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 (or higher) for SQL Serverand points tohttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36434`.
In that page, in System Requirements, WinServer 2012 R2 is not listed. When I try to install msodbcsql.msi I get message
Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operation system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.`
Well I'm now stuck. I need PHP in WinServer 2012 R2 and IIS 8.5 connecting to MSSQL 2012. But its driver requires ODBC 11, which seems to not support latest WinServer.
Is there any hope, or will I need to wait for Microsoft to support its own OS in its own drivers?
Be sure to download the 1033\x64\msodbcsql.msi (4.4 MB) installer. Even though you are using PHP x86, you need the x64 installer since the OS is x64. I had the same issue and my app now works with PHP x86 after installing the x64 installer.

Is it possible install Windows phone sdk on Windows Server 2012

According to system requirements I can install SDK only on Windows 8 machine (I need support Windows Phone 8 platform too).
I want to create build server for WP applications, so can I use Windows Server for that?
I install WP SDK on my Windows Server 2012 without any problems.
Did you have any troubles?
PS. But as I know not all CPU are compatible.

32-bit VMWare on a 64-bit system for a 64-bit VM instance

I recently bought a 64-bit machine running on Windows 7 64-bit. I already have a 32-bit version software of VMware Workstation 7. I would like to install and run Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit as a VM Instance on my 64-bit Win-7 machine for learning. Will i still be able to use the 32-bit VMWare software to do this or do i have to buy the 64-bit version of VMware Workstation 8?
I ask this because the software is pretty expensive for me.
Please advise.
You dont use 32 bit VMWare for 64Bit guest. You have to buy VMWare 64Bit or you can use VirtualBox from Oracle for free.

SAP NetWeaver Trial Version for 64bit OS?

Is there a 64bit version out there for 64bit OS? If not, is there a way to install the SAP NetWeaver on a 64bit Windows 7 without using a VM with a 32bit system?
Thanks :)
SAP NetWeaver ABAP Trial 7.02 Win 64-bit Version (SP7) System Requirements:
Operating System Windows 7 64 bit Professional (unsupported platform for Trial Installation) or Windows Server 2008
JRE 1.4.x or JRE 1.5.x (for installation only, JRE 1.6 is not supported)
...
If you're not logged on, you can find it in the SAP Software Download Catalog.
There is this developer verion for windows.
But the requirements state following:
Operating System: Windows XP
Professional (Service Pack 2) or
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista
(english)
I did use vm ware with a xp sp 2 image under windows 7 to install the Netweaver server. No problems so far (except for the performance).
64 bit - yes, for example this one. Windows, I don't know...
The latest released trial version is the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit Trial.
It's available at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads There are no 64bit windows trial versions
You can install the 32bit versions on Windows 7 Professional or better by using XP Mode (you can't install XP Mode on Windows 7 Home or lower). Searvh on "site:microsoft.com Windows XP mode" for how to install xp mode (I can only post 1 link at a time at the moment).
