I'd like to sideload my Windows Store App to a Windows 8 Enterprise PC. The PC is domain-joined but now I am a little bit stuck.
As it says in the Documentation, the Group Policy on the domain controller must be set:
You must join the device running Windows 8 Enterprise or Windows Server 2012 to an Active Directory domain that has the Allow all trusted applications to install Group Policy setting enabled.
How do I set this Group Policy on my Windows Server 2008? There is no such policy. Does this mean that I need the newest Windows Server 2012 for this? I did set this group policy on the client as well, but anyway I need to activate a developer account. I don't want to do this because a developer account expires after 1 month...
Ok, apparently you can add Windows 8 group policies to a Windows Server 2008.
Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
If you dowloaded and installed this file you then can take the needed files and copy them to %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions. Then you can activate the policy. I did this, but I still had to activate my MS developer account on the Windows 8 Enterprise machine. I don't know how to avoid this.

I am unable to install SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition on my laptop. It is currently on Windows 10 Home (Ver. 20H2 19042.928). According to the SQL Server 2019 Software specifications, Windows 10 Home is supported. But upon installation, I get the error:
The account that is running SQL server setup does not have one or both of the following rights: the right to backup files and directories, and the right to manage auditing and the security log. to continue, use an account with both of these rights.
The solution on the Microsoft website is to grant privileges via the Local Group Policy settings which is unavailable on Windows 10 Home. I tried to install it on both of my C and D drives but I still get the same error. How can I install it on my laptop?
It appears to be nearly impossible to remote manage a hyper v windows 2012 server r2 using windows 10 hyper v management tools.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/manage/remotely-manage-hyper-v-hosts
As stated in this readme by microsoft in the link above you cannot remotely connect to another hyper v host on windows 2012 server r2 as another user. But i cannot connect to the server as the same user either?
-------------SERVER Configuration-----------
Server i have user "test1" and user is part of the Hyper V Administrator group on the server.
On server i have granted the hostname of the client machine to trusteddomains.
-------------CLIENT Configuration-----------
Windows 10 client i am logged on with user test1 and test1 is an administrator of this computer.
Both server and client user "test1" has the same password.
Trying to connect via the hyper v manager to SERVER from windows 10 client will give me error message:
You do not have the required permission to complete this task. Contact the Administrator of the authorization policy for the computer "SERVER"
Running windows 8 client with user "test1" connecting via hyper v manager instantly works to SERVER.
What is wrong with windows 10 Hyper V Tools? Or am i mistaken that adding the same user accounts on both computers does not count as the same user?
Shouldn't Microsofts docs simply say as long as you are not part of a domain you CANNOT remote administer anything except windows 2016 server if you have windows 10?
Am i mistaken here or am i doing something wrong?
No resolution, ended up putting up a domain in order to control the hyper v park over windows 10.
I built a Windows Forms app with Visual Studio and I am trying to install it on another Windows 7 computer with Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express LocalDB.
After I start the app and try to “login”, I get an error from sqlservr.exe that says:
cannot find entry point, bcryptkeyderivation, bcrypt.dll.
I tried it on another pc with Windows 10 and there were no errors.
Your edit pretty much sums it up.
SQL Server 2017 Express LocalDB isn't supported on Windows 7. The SqlLocalDB.msi installer for me but when I tried to start an instance it would give the "BCryptKeyDerivation could not be located" error. Anecdotally 2016 is supposedly not supported, but it installed and default instances run for me.
Per Microsoft :
Supported Operating System:
Windows 10 , Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows
Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016
Some additional information indicating that you'll need at least Windows 8
BCryptKeyDerivation function
The BCryptKeyDerivation function derives a key without requiring a
secret agreement. It is similar in functionality to BCryptDeriveKey
but does not require a BCRYPT_SECRET_HANDLE value as input.
Minimum supported client

I have windows 8 professional. and I want to create a virtual machine running windows server 2012 to host sharepoint server 2013 for development purposes. is there any limitations or recommendations?
This isn't really a Stack Overflow question but since I've just done the same thing (Win 8 + Hyper-V/Win2012 + SharePoint 2013), I'll answer.
It is possible but Active Directory domain is required. So you will have to add DC role to the server or provision another VM acting as a domain controller.
Personally I found Windows Server 2012 to perform poorly in my virtual environment and I think I'll be going back to Win2008R2 + SP 2013 for development.
I'm writing a Linux application that accesses a LDAP server (currently OpenLDAP).
I would like to also test the application with an Active Directory server since that might be used in production.
Is there any free demo or trial version from Microsoft that would allow me to run this test in a VM ?
Yes, you can download a evaluation copy of Windows Server 2008 R2. You have 180 days to do your evaluation. After you successfully install the Windows Server 2008 R2, you just click Windows button and type in "dcpromo". It will launch a wizard and guide you setting up the domain controller (i.e. the LDAP server + KDC)
