We are in the process of getting our application certified for Windows Server 2012 for Gold certification and running into the following 2 issues:
1. Failure for "Applications must comply with Windows security requirements".
Looks like the MPR tool is trying to scan some .log files and .xml files when the test is running and these are being used/locked by the application at that time. So these are listed under "Checks that didn't complete". attached is a screenshot of this.
2. Failure for "Were any binaries installed for this Component"
This is the log message for "No binaries were detected as installed". Ours is a Java app and Java binaries are the only executables.

======================================================================
Test name: PPSS 3.23 Gold
Test date: 05/01/2013 13:11:54
Tested on: Virtual Machine on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V
Test for: Windows Server 2012
======================================================================
Test case/Verification: 11.1.1 - Check if application installed binaries
======================================================================
To pass this test, binaries must have been installed for this Component by a method tester identified in the Setup Information screen.
To validate an actual test was conducted, a waiver must be filed.
The Windows Server Logo Program requires a complete but brief, technically detailed explanation of the application/solution, installation method, and hosted platform (ex: IIS, SharePoint, etc.).
Document any client components, besides Internet Explorer. ISV client components must also be tested with MPR Tool, on either Client or Server OS concurrently.
Waiver link may be found on MPR Tool or on Windows Server Logo Program website.
======================================================================
Result: No binaries were detected as installed.

QUESTIONS:
How can we resolve these issues?
Is passing these 2 failures mandatory in order to get certified?
Can we file a waiver for these?
Thanks,
Neeha.
