When Server Manager shows up and I go to Local Server is see that the server has 0 Gb of ram.
See picture :

When I start Taskmanager it shows the right amount of memory.

Sorry for another "me too". The only reason is that is I'm running Ubuntu 12.03 LTS as host. Attached VBox.3.log
VirtualBox Version: 4.3.2r90405

We were able to reproduce this problem but so far we don't have an idea why Windows doesn't detect the amount of installed memory. We are investigating.

The following command should make Win 2K12 guests detect the installed RAM size:
VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiExposeMemoryTable 1
Please confirm.

Hello,
When i try the command I get to following error :
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage setextradata "Windows 2012 DC1" VB oxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiExposeMemoryTable 1 VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object! VBoxManage.exe: error: Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005) - Server execu tion failed (extended info not available) VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.

If you get this error message about not being able to start the COM server then you're mixing roles (if your VMs run as a regular user without special privileges then you're running the command as Admin or vice versa)... otherwise you should always get this error and that's a sign of a broken install.

Sorry my mistake. I ran cmd as Administrator. Did the command again and it worked. This command fixes the problem. It also works when I increase the memory.
It also works with Windows 2012 R2.

Thanks for the feedback! The next maintenance release will contain a fix which makes the extra VBoxManage command obsolete.
I confirm that indicated 0GB in Sever2012R2 too (VirtualBox 4.3) and causes an error which made it impossible to install some programs. Installed programs will generate an error "not enough memory"
