    Server for Architect's practice.

    SBS 2011 will give you the option of Exchange at no additional cost. There is also the Premium version which permits a second Server running SQL or Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) or whatever. This can all be run in a virtual environment on the stated Server spec. The downsides of SBS - one...

    Server for Architect's practice.

    The disk limit on the ML350 is 8 x 2.5" or 6 x 3.5" hence the alternative of 900GB SAS.

    Good Cheap Server - HP Proliant Microserver 4 BAY - OWNERS THREAD

    For those of you running WHS 2011 - I have a question: What AV are you using? I was using Vipre client but I found that the Server crawled to a halt when completing a scheduled scan. This was after a recent program update. Shame as a reseller I get free keys. I have installed trial version of...

    Off Site Backups - tape or HDD?

    Although you appear to have reasonable protection it is vital that these factors are considered. I know of 2 companies that lost production and data due to flooding recently; one because they located the Comms Room under toilet facilities (whoops :) and another due to a leak on the air con...

    MS Server Licensing

    Yes, that is correct. This is a really good guide: http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/D/9/0D9DDF52-A855-487B-9B74-5A09A9389551/Windows%20Server%20System%20Center%20and%20Forefront%20Pricing%20and%20Licensing%20Guide.pdf MS still have the stupid "you must licence each virtual host to the...

    MS Server Licensing

    DC licences are locked to the CPU. For example, if you have 2 x 2 CPU VMware hosts this would require 4 x DC licences. You can then install unlimited MS OS's on these 2 VMware hosts. You would need to apply the same rules to Xen depending on the CPU count. I hope this helps.

    Using Backup Exec SBS on Server Standard

    Odd you should ask this as I just called Symantec about this. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH125965 You can't (apparently) load SBS Back Up Exec on to a Standard 2003/2008 Server as it does a check. I know this is the case for Symantec System Recovery for...

    Storage Server

    Actually thinking about this further, I think the PIII was 32bit only CPU and as Windows 2008R2 is 64bit only this won't work. :eek:

    Storage Server

    Although it is not in the supported list: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=3288098&lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=341291&taskId=135 I'm sure 2008R2 would install okay.

    I have WHS 2011 installed from the same source (MSDN). I installed from USB memory stick and haven't had any issues. Are you using the updated BIOS?

    Cannot see WHS 2011 from Wdlive Tv or Ac Ryan Hd2

    Initially couldn't see the server when selecting network on the WDTV. Now that I have made the changes that k3v suggested I can always see the server but sometimes not the shares. It either times out or some of the shares are missing. Maybe there is a better workaround by installing another...

    Anyone using HP P4500 SAN + VMware?

    All I can add is that we had to disable Jumbo frames as it caused massive headaches when using a G1 version connected to DL360 G6's.

    mapped shared not showing

    So if the mapped drives are created by GP this should work. Did you create a login script or how did you map the drives of the other PC's?

    How do you map the drives automatically? Group Policy or login script? run gpresult /r
