Use Windows Server 2003 or 2008 with BootCamp?Just want to run basic things

Hey, well I can get a copy of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008 with the DreamSpark program (as I am in college) for free. But my question is, is this a good idea to use with my MacBook Pro? I wasn't sure how well it'd work with Boot Camp, and all I'd want is to just run basic programs and/or games.
Is it a good idea? And does anyone have tutorials for how to install it?

Hi,
Windows Server 2003 and XP 64-bit share the same codebase and XP-64bit is not supported with BootCamp.
Windows Server 2008 and Vista 64-bit share the same codebase and Vista 64-bit is only supported with BootCamp on some Macs. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
For running 'basic' things with the Server versions, why not use one of the Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox ?

VirtualBox is open-source, so you don't have to pay for it.

  • How to migrate windows server 2003 to 2008 live server

    How to migrate windows server 2003 to 2008 live server without shutdown could anyone explain me ?
    Thanks & Regards, Amol . Amol Dhaygude

    I don't think you can do it without a shutdown. This also depends on the types of services, roles etc hosted on the server.

  • Upgrading Virtual Windows server 2003 to 2008

    We currently run VI 2.5 with 3.5 U2 servers in a cluster. I was trying to upgrade (in place) a Windows server 2003 st. to Windows Server 2008. However when doing this the guest becomes unresponsive at (completely black screen in the console windows) and the setup reboot the guests and I boots back into 2003 (stating that the setup/upgrade failed). Is there a trick I need to be aware of?

    A big thanks to you my friend... I followed your steps and it actually works on my environment... currently I got 2-3 more Windows 2003 servers that needed to be upgraded to Windows 2008. However to save cost we are doing it ourselves... below is the steps I taken following your steps:
    Do note that I did this in VSphere 4.0 Update 2 version. One more thing... Ensure you got at least 20GB HDD free space in boot drive before you do the steps below else it will be like me the first time doing it...
    1. Windows 2003 VM - Remove/Uninstall the VMware Tools from the Control Panel.
    2. Shut down the Windows 2003 VM. You do not need to restart because you need to change the Guest VM OS from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2. Once the Guest OS is changed, start the Windows 2003 VM.
    3. Suffer a bit on the screen resolution but you can tweak it back to 1024 x 768 using the default VGA drivers. Recommend to do this so that it would be easier to work with a bigger desktop.
    4. Go to the Device Manager Tab to disable the "Base System Device". This took me a while to confirm the location because of the bad mouse (It will happen after VMware Tools is removed).
    5. Proceed to do the Windows 2008 upgrade.
    Hope this steps will help others...

  • How do I add a Mac to a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 domain?

    I recently started working for a public school district that runs Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2. There are several faculty members, myself included, that would like to get their Macs onto the domain and capable of file sharing, printing to network printers, etc. I cannot find decent instructions anywhere. Could someone please point me in the right direction or give me some directions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm also new to the MAC world - I trust you were able to join the MAC's to the domain - I finally figured it out. However, I have not been able to get the MAC's to save to the Windows 2008 server where I have student folders setup. Have you been able to do this? If so can share the info with us.
    Thanks,

  • Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

    Hi,
    I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
    Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
    So, I have two problems:
    1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
    2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
    Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
    HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
    SGA (M)
    Shared Pool=104
    Buffer Cache=960 ***
    Large Pool=0
    Java Pool=64
    Total SGA=1128
    SGA Max Size=1321
    Aggregate PGA Target=1500
    Current PGA Allocated=22868KB
    WINDOWS MEMORY INFO FROM TASK MANAGER SHOW:
    PF Usage=1.66GB
    Physical Memory (K)
    Total=4062704
    Available=3203460
    System Cache=2499096
    Commit Charge (K)
    Total=1748184
    Limit=12288628
    Peak=1925276
    *** When I change this to 2048 the database did not start.
    Thank you.

    CREATE SPFILE
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
    Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
    All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
    The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
    See Also:
    CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
    Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
    Prerequisites
    You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
    Syntax
    create_spfile::=
    Text description of create_spfile
    Semantics
    spfile_name
    This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
    If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
    If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
    See Also:
    "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
    pfile_name
    Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
    If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
    If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
    Note:
    In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
    Examples
    Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
    The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    Note:
    Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
    When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
    STARTUP
    The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
    spfile = 's_params.ora'
    The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
    STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

  • Windows Server 2003 and problem with SSL connection (TLS)

    Hi,
    We are forcing a problem with SLL/TLS connection on a machine Windows Server 2003 SP2.
    We spent hours trying to solve it without any result. 
    SYMPTOMS
    No SSL connection can be established in any application since last year, e.g.:
    we cannot do any windows update, because there is a time verification over SSL on the windows update website (there is an error that the time is incorrect while it is up-to-date)
    we cannot open any website in Internet Explorer over https
    when we try to connect to the SQL Server (database SQL 2008 hosted on the same server) with Management Studio it fails with an error: "A connection
    was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake.(provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - Could not
    contact LSA)(Microsoft SQL Server)"
    in a custom applications which sends requests over https we receive an error: "Could not establish trust relationship for SSL/TLS secure channel"
    Everything seems to point at some SSL problem somewhere deep inside Windows.
    We installed several patches, but without any result. 
    Can anybody help?
    Regards,
    Dawid

    Hi, thanks for answers,
    - In IE both SSL2.0 and TLS1.0 are checked. We tried to disable TLS1.0 - with no results. 
    - In  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel both SSL2.0
    and TLS1.0 are enabled. We also tried to dislable TLS1.0 on the Client side - with no resuts. 
    - In
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL EventLogging is set to 3, so it should log warnings
    and errors. But we cannot find any related logs in EventLog
    Unfortunately we are still in the same place.

  • Upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to 2008

    Hi Experts,
    We are currently running SAP BPC v 7.0 for Microsoft in a Windows Server 2003 environment. This is not a production application right now as we are doing discovery work in SAP BPC 7.0. For another project, we need to upgrade to windows server 2008.
    We are trying to figure out if the SAP BPC will still work after the upgrade. I know SAP BPC is compatible with Server 2008, but do we need to start of a fresh installation or the upgrade will work. We are trying to figure out if we should plan some time to reinstall SAP BPC and re-do the work we have done in BPC once it has been upgraded.
    Thanks a lot!
    Martin

    At this point, BPC 7.0 for Microsoft is not certified for Windows 2008.  So, if you prepare and execute the upgrade to the server OS, support may not assist if you find any issues.  We plan to be certified on Windows 2008 with the next release of 7.5 for BPC.
    Hope this helps.

  • Connecting iPads to an Enterprise Wireless 802.1x (EAP-TLS) Network Using Windows Server 2003 IAS

    Hi there,
    I am asked to deploy iPads on an 802.1x EAP-TLS WiFi network. The customer has a Windows Server 2003 IAS server providing RADIUS. There also is a Windows based CA infrastructure in place. This solution is in production and is already being used by other wireless devices. Could someone please highlight the configuration steps for the iPad deployment? The customer whishes to automate the initial deployment and the renewal of the certificates. I have a basic understanding of 802.1x, RADIUS, Certificates etc. in a Windows infrastructure but I am new to enterprise deployment of iPads. There is no MDM tool in place by the way...
    I did find a Microsoft article which I think describes what needs to be done: http://blogs.technet.com/b/pki/archive/2012/02/27/ndes-and-ipads.aspx. This article basically states the following steps:
    1. Create a placeholder computer account in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
    2. Configure a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the new computer object.
    3. Enroll a computer certificate passing the FQDN of the placeholder computer object as a Subject Name, using Web Enrollment Pages or Certificates MMC snap-in directly from the computer (Skip step 4 if you are using the Certificates MMC snap-in)
    4. Export the certificate created for the non-domain joined machine and install it.
    5. Associate the newly created certificate to the placeholder AD DS domain computer account manually created through Name Mappings
    The article then elaborates on specific steps needed for the iPad because it treats all certificates as user certificates. Can someone confirm this behavior??
    Regards,
    Jeffrey

  • Windows Server 2003 R2 Backup with Hyper-V in DPM

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup multiple Windows Server 2003 R2 VMs on Hyper-V (Windows Server 2012 R2) with DPM.

    When I do a Backup with ntbackup of in the VM everything runs fine.
    When I create a checkpoint with Hyper-V everything runs fine, too.
    The integration services are up to date and get-vmintegrationservice -vmname VMName shows everything is enabled and OK.
    On the Hyper-V host there are 13 VMs. 3 of them are running Windows Server 2003 R2 and 2 of them are showing this error. It seems to be no general problem with Windows Server 2003 R2 then.
    I tried the backup on a different Hyper-V host with no success.
    How can I narrow down the cause of this error?
    Thanks.
    greets,

    Thank you to everyone in this thread!
    After digging through VSS and Hyper-V dead-ends, the solution above worked for me in a W2012 R2 environment.
    I only had this problem trying to back up W2012 R2 Hyper-V VMs stored on a CSV, hosted on a W2012 R2 Host Cluster, backing up from a Host node.  I could back up from within the guests fine.  Both Windows Server Backup and DPM 2012 R2
    gave VSS errors on the cluster hosts. 
    In fact Windows Server Backup complains with 80780189 it won't back up an application with files on a CSV, which is a common cluster configuration.  This is an example of another caveat in a minefield of MS caveats buried in fine print which often negates
    configurations touted by MS Marketing, things which sound great on a sell sheet, but in practice are impractical or just not production-ready because of these restrictions.
    Disabled Backup in Integration Services, performed an offline back up from DPM 2012 R2 (which did briefly affect serving the workloads on the VM), which succeeded, and then re-enabled Backup in Integration Services.  DPM then continued to
    sync successfully after that for a day.  However, this problem returned after a period of heavy DPM backup activity.  So I redistributed backups through various Protection Groups to spread the DPM load over a longer period and this seems to
    have solved this problem.
    In general I had lots of problems installing, configuring, and now operating DPM, so the experience has not been smooth, but most of the problems have now been solved.  I find you have to "baby" this product and not push it too hard,
    otherwise things start breaking.
    Thanks again everyone!

    For a beginner, you may be better off getting photoshop Elements as it hold your hand a bit to help you. Where as photoshop CC does have a steep learning curve since yes it is for pro's as well as those that want to take the time to learn it.

  • Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

    Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
    All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
    I already tried the following scenarios:
    1-  Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
    2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
    Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
    Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
    3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.

    Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
    Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
    Might I suggest the following:
    Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
    Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
    Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
    Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
    Cumulative Security Update.
    Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
    years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
    Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

  • How to setup ftp with dreamweaver and windows server 2003

    Does anyone know if there is a tutorial/article on settinp up Dreamweaver cs3 to use Windows server 2003 as an FTP server...
    any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

    I was able to figure out how to setup the ftp connection, connect to my home server, however,whenever i tried to upload the contents of my website to my server, nothing gets uploaded to the site. I tried putting one page at a time, nothing. tried everything, and still no joy. I can see everything on my local server which is a XAMP package, but nothing on my remote server. Do i maybe need to maybe have a WAMP or XAMP on the Windows Server 2003 or that should not matter. This is new to me so i am learning as i go along.
    Another thing, i was able to create a subfolder in my c:\www.ftproot folder, i can see that folder on my local machine, i'm just not seeing the files in that folder when i do my 'put' with my files.
