Setup VM with Win2k12 R2 for print management software

[fred]

According to the requirements document from TA, we need to provide them with a Windows Server system where they can install their aQrate BusinessPRO printing software.

I checked with their technical contact (Dennis Orthaus) and even though it's not in their original requirements doc, it is OK to use XEN as hypervisor and Windows Server 2012 R2 as OS.

HW requirements are specified as following:
min. 4 GB RAM, min. 50 GB free HDD space, CPU: mind. 2 GHz Dual Core, min. 100 MBit/s LAN

Basic installation completed.
The following ports have been opened on the Windows Firewall and on our pfSense firewall as per TA requirements doc:
PHP TCP Port 80
WEB Server TCP Port 8080, TCP Port 8081
Firebird database v. 2.1 TCP Port 3050
LPR-Protokoll für Printjob-Empfang TCP Port 515
SMTP-Protokoll für Scan-Empfang TCP Port 25
RAW-Protokoll TCP Port 9100 – 9107
Terminal Kommunikation UDP Port 11108, UDP Port 11111
SNMP-Protokoll UDP Port 161

Changed firewall rules:
From LAN (192.168.1.0/24) ONLY the LPR port TCP/515 needs to be open/reachable.
And optionally the AQrate admin web interface via SSL on TCP/8090.
The other ports only need to be open locally / between the copy machine and the AQrate server.

Now that we decided to go with the new copy machine / printer from Triumph Adler, we need to convert the Windows 2012 server evaluation license into a real / permanent one.

Therefor I opened an order ticket for it.

The Windows 2012 server evaluation license has been converted into a real one for production use.
