Install Flash On Server 2012

  

To enable Desktop Experience on Windows Server 2012 1. Open Server Manager and click Add Roles and Features. When the Add Roles and Features Wizard appears, specify the appropriate values on the Installation Type, Server Selection, and Server Roles pages. On the Features page, expand User Interfaces and Infrastructure. In windows 2012 R2, i first installed the flash 22 w/ activeX. Then i uninstalled it. As you can see, there is NO more adobe flash under add/remove program but still under the c: windows system32 macromed flash, the application still there, same as under the syswow64. When I start up SpiceWorks (Windows Server 2012 - 64 Bit) the Dashboard indicates that Adobe Flash isn't installed. When I click the Adobe Flash link I go to the Adobe Flash Help website where it states Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON. I cannot enable Flash Player and the ActiveX Filtering is not on.

For additional scenarios in which you may want to create or use a bootable USB flash drive, see the following topics:

To create a bootable USB flash drive

  1. Insert a USB flash drive into a running computer.

  2. Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.

  3. Type diskpart.

  4. In the new command line window that opens, to determine the USB flash drive number or drive letter, at the command prompt, type list disk, and then click ENTER. The list disk command displays all the disks on the computer. Note the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive.

  5. At the command prompt, type select disk <X>, where X is the drive number or drive letter of the USB flash drive, and then click ENTER.

  6. Type clean, and the click ENTER. This command deletes all data from the USB flash drive.

  7. To create a new primary partition on the USB flash drive, type create partition primary, and then click ENTER.

  8. To select the partition that you just created, type select partition 1, and then click ENTER.

  9. To format the partition, type format fs=ntfs quick, and then click ENTER.

    Important

    If your server platform supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), you should format the USB flash drive as FAT32 rather than as NTFS. To format the partition as FAT32, type format fs=fat32 quick, and then click ENTER.

  10. Type active, and then click ENTER.

  11. Type exit, and then click ENTER.

  12. When you finish preparing your custom image, save it to the root of the USB flash drive.

We have flash player on our windows servers and I was assigned to uninstall them, but the catch here is that I can't use any external software therefore I can't download Flash Player Uninstaller provided by Adobe,

If anyone of you can help, I really appreciate that.

I have removed Deskop Experience from Windows Server 2012 R2 using:

Server Manager -> Manage -> Remove Roles and Features -> Features - User Interfaces and Infrastructure -> deselect Desktop Experience

Or uninstall it from Power Shell (don't forget 'Run as Administrator'):

Get-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience | Uninstall-WindowsFeature

Add -Restart to the end of the command above and server will restart automatically.

Server did not end up in headless mode, restart was is required.

On the other hand, two options Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure and Server Graphical Shell next to Desktop Experience item will remove GUI and make server headless.
