5 Things You Should Do Since Server 2003 Support Ended

They say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…but it is and you should (Read complete post here)Consider how astoundingly old the Sever 2003 OS is, not just in years but in relativity. In the whole life cycle of Windows Server, one could argue that Windows Server 2000 was the first real server OS from Microsoft, and that Server 2003 was the first reliable, widely-deployed Windows Server OS. Just the thought brings a little tear to my eye.But IT is a lousy place for nostalgiaSoftware updates and upgrades address vulnerabilities in existing products, but sometimes technology advances so far that an entirely new solution is necessary. When you cling to old technologies or dismiss the necessity of switching because what you’ve got “still works,” you introduce a variety of operational and security vulnerabilities. So while Server 2003 may still...

  • Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015

    Hi
    Anyone knows whether Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level will still be Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015 ?
    Thanks

    When Windows Server 2003 support ends, you should not have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller running if you would like to be supported by Microsoft. This means that there will be no reason to have a DFL or FFL that is lower than Windows Server 2008.
    So, if you are keeping Windows Server 2003 FFL to keep DCs running Windows Server 2003 then this is not supported.

  • Things to know before building a Mega 651 (and other things you should know afte

    Okay, following hot on the heels of the "things to know" series on Mega 180 and 865, I thought I'd just chip in with this short post on what you should know before splashing out on a nice budget Mega 651

    Celeron > 400Mhz FSB
    P4 Northwood > 533mhz FSB (512kb L2 cache)
    MEMORY:
    Basically to add to what is listed in the 865 "things to know"; from my own experience of using MSI motherboards in the past, ALWAYS use good quality branded memory, as using cheaper "generic" types inevitably leads to major problems. I know for a fact that Crucial, Kingston and Samsung types work well in MSI motherboards, and you should be okay with other high-end brands like Corsair and Geil.
    DRIVERS:
    DON'T bother using MSI LiveUpdate! The drivers provided on the cd supplied will work, but if you wish to download the latest drivers, you will find them here:
    http://download.sis.com/
    Download and install the:
    Chipset Software > SiS AGP (Gart) Driver
    IGP Graphics Drivers > SiS650 and 740 series
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?lineid=5&famid=12&series=8&Software=True
    for Realtek AC97 Audio drivers
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?lineid=1&famid=3&series=16&Software=True
    For Realtek Onboard Network interface
    The modem drivers supplied on the CD should work, I really don't know much about them as I have never used them (sorry). Failing that, if you are connected to the internet, Windows Update should be able to find them for you.
    OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT
    MSI state that only Windows XP is supported on Mega 651 (and other Mega barebones). Other versions of Windows (98, ME, 2000) will work provided you have drivers for hardware devices, all of which are provided on the install CD or from the links supplied above.
    You'll find that earlier versions of Windows won't have the drivers for the built-in card reader, so you may have to do a "google" search to get them. On my Mega 651, they are listed in Device Manager as "OEI-USB" devices.
    If you haven't already got Windows XP then I suggest you consider upgrading at the earliest opportunity; Microsoft themselves no longer support Win 98 / ME and most new software is being designed to work only with Windows XP
    Please note that MSI do NOT supply or support drivers for Linux; if you wish to attempt to install Linux on a Mega 651 (or other Mega PC model) you will need to obtain drivers yourself. The remote and LCD display functions will also not be available under Linux, unless some clever bod has developed drivers to do so.
    MEGA RADIO AND LCD DISPLAY:
    Download the Mega LiveUpdate for Mega 651 from here:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_detail.php?UID=431&kind=4
    This will update your MEGA Radio program, update the BlueBird HIFi module firmware and allow you to set a "greeting" displayed on the LCD display when you switch on HiFi mode. Apart from that the LCD display serves NO other purpose in PC mode.
    After updating the firmware, you should power off your Mega 651, unplug the mains power cord for a few seconds then reconnect and restart for changes to take place.
    OTHER MSI SOFTWARE:
    If you REALLY must try out MSI Media Center III, it does work on the Mega 651, but I don't think the remote will work correctly.
    Although PCAlert 4 has been reported to work on the Mega 651 - having read the numerous problems most users have, I don't advise installing it. If you do get it to work correctly, unlike on the Mega 180 and 865, it will not display temps or fan speeds on the LCD display, as this feature only works on the 180 and 865, as they use diferent LCD displays.
    EXPANSION CARDS:
    Same as with other Megas, you get 1 AGP and 1 PCI slot.
    The AGP slot only supports up to 4x cards; a faster card will work, but only at 4x.
    Space is limited, if you decide to fit a PCI TV tuner card, you will be limited as to which AGP card you can fit. A full length card is probably not recommended, and a model with a slimline (or even passive) heatsink would be best.
    A better alternative would be to go for a VGA card with built in TV tuner, such as MSI TV5200-VTDF128 or an ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder card (ATI AIW is supported in WinXP MCE05)
    ON-BOARD VGA
    The SiS651 chipset is pretty old now, and the on-board SiS650 VGA is not up to playing any of the latest games, as it is only DirectX 7.0 compliant and does not support Hardware Texture & Lighting. However, it is adequate for playing back DVDs as it supports hardware acceleration (in PowerDVD for example), and general video output is decent. The maximum shared video memory size is 64mb.
    The Mega 651 does NOT feature TV-out as standard. You can however either buy an AGP video card which includes TV-out feature, or the Mega TV-out card (availble in UK from www.dabs.com). Please note, this card is ONLY for Mega 651, and does NOT work with the 865 model. (The 180 does however, thanks to nforce2 chipset, support TV-out as standard)
    ON-BOARD AUDIO
    The Realtek ALC650 AC97 audio codec offers 5.1 surround sound (with suitable speakers of course  ) as well as SP-DIF for digital output.
    The sound quality is quite reasonable; i'm currently listening to MP3s through a set of Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers, and its certainly good enough for me.
    There are three audio connectors on the rear, they default to:
    GREEN - Front speakers
    BLUE - Line In
    PINK - Mic
    To connect surround sound speakers correctly, you need to use the Realtek audio configuration tool (located in the Taskbar by the clock). Set the speaker config to 4 or 6 channel (5.1) and then click on the boxes to the right to configure the rear ports correctly
    GREEN - Front speakers
    BLUE - Rear Speakers
    PINK - Subwoofer / Centre Speaker
    NOTE: If you do decide you want to install a PCI soundcard, be aware that you will lose the Radio function in PC mode, and for audio output in Hi-Fi mode you will need to reconnect audio plugs from your soundcard to onboard sockets. The Hi-Fi mode and Radio only work with the onboard audio.
    POWER SUPPLY
    All the Mega series barebones come with a 200w PSU. Don't even think about upgrading to a higher output type, as the Mega PSU is a non-standard type. A standard ATX PSU will NOT physically fit inside the Mega case. Besides which, the Mega series have a special connector which powers the Bluebird hi-fi module and on-board sound when the PC is off. And there is a special Molex power connector for the CD/DVD drive, also for that to be used when PC is off.
    WINDOWS XP MCE 2005
    Media Center 2005 requires a DirectX 8.1 / 9.0 compliant video card with a minimum of 64mb RAM, 128mb RAM is recommended, however, for best performance. So you will need an AGP card, because SiS do not provide any MCE-compatible drivers. The TV@anywhere TV tuner (MS8606-10) and Mega TV Tuner (MS8606-40) are not supported by MCE05, because MCE2005 requires a TV card that will provide a direct MPEG2 stream, which a PVR card such as the Hauppage PVR MCE series can do (as a hardware card, MSIs card are software only and rely on drivers to do MPEG encoding), or a dedicated DVB-T card which receives an MPEG2 signal over the air.
    MEGA 651 REMOTE
    If you fit an MSI TV@anywhere card to your Mega 651, the Mega remote can be used to control the MSIPVS software, providing you use the remote receiver supplied with the TV@nywhere card. The Mega remote is designed to work natively with the MSI Media Center, and MSI Mega Radio programs only.
    If you wish to program the remote to operate other programs within windows, then you will need a program called Girder, and the accompanying MSI plugin, kindly provided by nathan. please see his sticky thread for more info, about his plugin, and how to obtain Girder.

  • TCS gen 2 and Windows server 2003 support

    Hi,
    I have a Cisco TelePresence Content Server v5.3 running on gen 2 hardware.
    From what I can see TCS v5.3 only works in Windows server 2003, this is a concern as Windows server 2003 support is ending July 14, 2015.
    Is there anything that can be done to mitigate the above problem without having to purchase the gen 3 hardware?
    Kind Regards
    Ed

    The supported deployment methods right now for the virtual TCS is for it to be installed on existing TCS hardware, either 2nd or 3rd Gen server only, 1st Gen servers aren't supported, but you can migrate from a 1st Gen to either of the latter two. You'll basically be wiping the old hardware servers and installing VMWare on them to run a single instance of Windows and the virtual TCS application. As Wayne said, support for 3rd party platforms is coming, Cisco knows it's a big deal for customers and a solution needs to be provided and not just limited to existing TCS hardware.
    You would migrate your existing license and option keys to the new servers by looking them up from the registry and creating a license file to be used during the install process.
    Support contracts will migrate as well, the serial numbers will remain the same, but the product IDs might change to reflect you now having a virtual TCS instead of hardware. However, I'm still working out the details of the product IDs from my migration I did back in August, though that hasn't stopped me from getting TAC support. 
    To give you an idea of the process, take a look at the TCS 6.1 VM Install Guide.

    Sorry for late reply.
    Your next step is, create a new web application and deattach the content DB from new web application. You need to attach existing CDB to that web app.

  • SQL Server 2003 support?

    I need to migrate a lot of SQL Server 2003 databases to Oracle 10g. It looks like the migration workbench doesn't have support for 2003. is that True?
    is there a beta version coming that might support 2003?
    What expectation should I have if I run it against SQL Server 2003 anyway -- is it possible that I'll still get all of my data, and some of the stored procedures, etc?

    We are not aware that a SQL Server 2003 existed. Only 2000 and 2005.

    This post is serious, please give you're expert opinion.OK, here are mine:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_worst_practices.htm
    Inadequate Indexing - One of the top causes of excessive I/O during SQL execution is missing indexes, especially function-based indexes, and failure to tune the instance according to the SQL load is a major worst practice. It's no coincidence that the Oracle 10g SQLAccess advisor recommends missing indexes.
    Poor optimization of initialization parameters - The worst Oracle practice of all is undertaking to tune your SQL before these global parameters have been optimized to the workload.
    Poor Schema Statistics Management - The Oracle worst practice (before 10g automatic statistics collection) was to re-analyze the schema on a schedule, forgetting that the purpose of re-analyzing schema statistics is to change your production execution plans. This worst practice has become so commonplace that it has been dubbed the "Monday Morning Suprise". Shops with strict production change control procedures forget that analyzing the production schema can effect the execution of thousands of SQL statements.
    Poor change control testing - This is the worst of the worst practices, where an Oracle shop relies on a "test case proof" to preview how a database change will effect production behavior.
    No performance tracking - With STATSPACK (free) and AWR in Oracle10g, there is no excuse for not tracking your database performance. STATSPACK and AWR provide a great historical performance record and set the foundation for DBA predictive modeling.

  • Server 2003 to SBS 2011 Error

    Hello, I am migrating a customer from Server 2003 64bit with Exchange 2007 to SBS 2011.
    I installed SBS 2011 in Migration mode,  The install has completed. But in the SBS console there are no users or computers listed.  I have done this migration from SBS 2008 many times and they are always there.  But this is the first
    time from Server 2003.  Also, When I try to open the "Migrate the server program in the console it says that only supports migration from Small business server.  I am pretty much stuck at this point as the migration guide doesn't mention
    anything like this.
     if I go to Active Directory Users and computers they users and computers are there.
    Brian

    I'd use the 2nd link, it seems complete.  Its for SB2008 but it should apply to SBS0211 as well.  Just make sure you have good backups of the source server in case you need to start over (I'd personally virtualize it and run a test migration).
     Just make sure your answerfile was correct when you installed SBS2011.  Note because you are coming from server 2003 the standard SBS OU structure won't be there which is why the SBS console won't see the users or computers.  You'll need to
    fix this up but I'm not sure if you should do it early on or last...

  • CF + Flex 2.0.1 + Server 2003 + (IIS? Apache? My/MS SQL?)

    I've been playing with CF/Apache2.2/Flex2.0.1 for a few
    months and I finally bit the bullet and bought it all
    (CF/Flex/Server 2003)...and F8 and PSCS2...to finish my,
    unfortunately one-and-only-serious computer (dual 200-series
    Opteron). So, until now, I've used the trials of Flex/CF on what I
    thought would be the cat's *** OS (XP64) but it blows (sorry MS:()
    so I bought Server 2003. After going through the rigamaroll of
    registering for the 180 trial originally, I removed 2003 fairly
    quickly. But it seems, according to spec, to be the best choice, 32
    bit, for CF.
    I've been using a combination of Apache2.2 and MySQL 5 (with
    the hotfixes). But now that I have spent my unborn child's RESP
    deposit, I want to make sure I'm doing it the right way.
    My PLAN is to do the build like this, and I'd really
    appreciate any feedback, because over the last few months, I've
    found that many things can go wrong.
    Server 2003, turn off IIS. Run Apache 2.2. Run CF under that
    (Standard edition CF MX7.0.2). And the scary part, never even SEEN,
    let alone used, is MS SQL, the free/4Gb limit version.
    I don't know if I would be better off to scrap Apache,
    because it's been bullet proof for me for years with PHP and MySQL,
    and now with CF/MySQL. But what would the best 'occasionally minor
    production, mostly non-critical/development' setup be for a Web
    Server. I'm not an expert, and I know squat about IIS.
    I also would (in ignorance) assume MS SQL is going to run
    much better on IIS, and might even not work properly under Apache.
    Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. I've
    everything still in the boxes for the worst case (take it back and
    get 'this') scenario.
    Would I be saving myself some grief if I asked a pro to come
    in and do it, for a fee?
    It's strictly for my personal development at this stage, but
    I'd like to get some jobs, maybe hosting 1-2 semi-serious apps that
    in one case at least (for my employer), will need to be secure
    (Financial services regulation for a Members-only Site, i.e.,
    sensitive financial data entered on a pre-production server at work
    for which my system would serve as the development system, most
    likely with live data).
    My PERSONAL aim is a fully db-driven, fully-Flex/F8 and fully
    CF set of sites, along the lines of hosting the pet projects I have
    for my photographer friends. I want my galleries to be among the
    best on the net, bar none.
    Sorry for the very long post, I am just staring at all these
    boxes, and am afraid to even open Server 2003 or look into IIS/MS
    SQL until I hear from some of you who might have something pithy to
    say.
    Thanks for baring with me.
    Shawn.

    >>That data base is fine for a development environment.
    Thanks edbrendel.
    So, since I am able to run Apache 2.2 as I want to, would I
    be better of to use MySQL 5 or MS SQL Express if I want it to be
    largely development, but also for my own stuff (my galleries etc.)
    actually running pages served to the web?
    I know of the technotes, a couple of them (incl. the MySQL
    note on installing V. 5 as a datasource and all that), but never
    saw that one...so thanks very much. I've manually added the Apache
    2.2 file line in httpd.conf and added the file in the config area,
    which always worked in the past with XP Pro and XP64...hope it does
    with 2003 I had 2003 server when I first started playing, it was a
    nightmare, I hope now that I've bought everything I can wrap my
    head around it!). I just make sure I don't try to configure CF
    until after manually adding the files, and changing the Apache
    config file and restarting. Then I go into the administrator for
    the first time.
    Shawn

    Is there anyway to upgrade it ?

    It is normal. You simply need to use a 64 bit OS.
    You need to re-install the OS to be running a 64bit version as no in-place upgrade is supported.

  • Things you need to know about 6280

    Hi everybody, I used to have a 6680 and I say this with regret. Why? I gave it to my girlfriend as a gift. Now that was a good sturdy functional phone. Now I bought a 6280 from Vodafone. I wanted a N70 but the Vodafone representative recommended this one. I chose to go with the 6280 because the N70 looked a little bit too fragile. She also said there are no significant differences. Well, she couldn’t be more wrong. Let me tell you why. The first thing I should mention is that 6280 is not a symbian phone! This, for who knows what it means, it is a lot. I wasn’t aware. You cannot switch between applications for one. So now since I bought it, I gave it a go, see what it is all about. Nice graphics, big screen, no problems (I read here somebody had some). The first annoying thing that hit me is the back light. Goes out in an instant. Or 10 seconds they say. Depends on how you measure time. The problem is you cannot adjust that. Neither the contrast. Nor the luminosity. Some people find these features useful. Nokia seems doesn’t. Some people said on this forum that the sliding front does not have a good grip. Mine seem to do. Navigating through folders is somewhat frustrating but this is subjective. Another thing you should know is that you cannot set the memory card as the default storage space and the phone memory is small. Just about 5MB free with … nothing on it. But I guess you can get around that and be happy with what you have. Now for the real problems. One big issue for me was synchronizing with Outlook. I got it working in the first try. No problems there. But when checking the contact list on the phone … well, disappointment. The 6280 does not record company name, job title and birthday. This is a huge problem for somebody well organized like me. Birthdates are saved in calendar but they do not show up in the contact details. Try finding a birthday through the entire calendar! Second thing that got me down is that the contact phones have no area codes. This you might say “well, it’s ok”. Not if you modify something and then you get your contact updated in Outlook with no area codes. Again BIG problem. My second frustration was with the email accounts. It was hell to figure out how to configure and then I realized. If you have multiple email accounts … you should get another phone. 6680 is good. I assume any symbian enabled phone will do. Not this one. You cannot have all the emails grouped or in separate folders at least as it is on s60 phones. No. here you have to go to “Menu – Settings – Configuration – Personal Config Settings – select other email account and activate it”. Then you go back and go into the email folder. Good job Nokia! I think they could have found a worst sequence to do it. Also, get this, I assume (99% I know) that the emails get stored in the phone memory. You have no way of moving to memory card and no way of reading office or pdf files. Note that on symbian there are applications to do it. As for the battery, I don’t know yet. It did not last one day anyway but I gave it a good run and I know it will improve after several recharges. The good things I know about this phone is that the video has a good quality. I cannot say for pictures because I do have a professional digital SLR camera and I cannot compare without being mean. It is still a phone. The radio is average. Good enough I say. Small note to end this. The phone should have predictive text input. Should, because it is not in the menu. A problem that a firmware update should resolve. I don’t know to what version since I might have the last one. It is: v 03.60 10-02-06. I would buy another model. If you are like me, pay attention to all I had to say. Cheers!

    Good posts a lot of information I needed or to know, or more so wish I'd known prior to purchasing the 6280. Came across this post while trying to find resolutions to a number of the 'problems' with this model that you've listed, or for accuracy's sake functional and features missing from this phone or poorly develop, in comparison to other models.
    Fact: One 'bug' that hasn't been raised in these posts is the management of a contact thumbnail's through PC Suite does work. Adding a thumbanil on the PC doesn't appear on the phone, and adding a thumbnail on the phone doesn't appear on the PC.
    Oppinion: The lack of management/handling of Company name & Birthday were the killer for me!
    Fact: Also I've only had the phone about 2 days now and I've had it just stop and mysteriously restart on me about 4 times. Admittly I've been using it a lot but not doing anything out of the ordinary to expect that.
    Oppinion: On the plus side the screens resolution great, and the photos very good for a phone. Neat little cropping tool, but nothing to rotate. Although the camera doesn't have a protector the case can be replace fixing and scratches! The phone is generally pretty responsive, boots and shuts down very quickly too.
    Oppinion: I'm probably being over critical here but the video call's camera at half arms length barely shows your whole face, at full arms length it's 'closer' to what you'd see on a passport. Although at this distance viewing the person your calling is more difficult. The phone has a good digital zoom in-out feature during a video call. But given the small portion of you shown under normal circumstances I don't imagine this would get used often. Admittly it was entertaining to keep the phone where it was and zoom in on my eye, but it's entertainment value will wear off (or maybe i could call me iridologist).

  • About memory issue during installing Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003

    Hi, all
    When I installed Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003 which the server is a virtual server, Oracle only can detect 2G memory.
    But there are 4G memory with my server.
    I want to know if the Oracle 11g's new feature or the virtual server lead the issue.
    Also , I want to get your help to resolve the issue, thanks a lot.

    Let me get this straight:
    You have created some virtual machine using someone's unknown VM software.
    You have installed Windows Server 2003 (perhaps, but not confirmed 32-bit) to that VM.
    You have allocated 4GB of memory to the VM (we guess ... not sure I'm ready to take your word on this)
    You are attempting to install Oracle 11g (presumably 11gR1 32 bit for Windows) in the VM
    And the Oracle (installer?) seems to be reporting that you only have 2GB RAM.
    Since I personally have installed Oracle 11g 32bit for Windows on Windows 2003 server with 4GB RAM and had no issues, I would be investigating the (unknown) VM environment.

  • Do I need to upgrade Windows Server 2003?

    What roles are you running on your Server 2003? Less than 15 workstations, any plans for future growth?

    I work at a small office, pediatrics.  I want to know if I still need to upgrade our server since we are using cloud-based for our EMR system. We only have less than 15 computers running on Windows server 2003. The server is mainly used for shared folders and shared printers only.  I need your advice. 
    Thank you.
