Can two servers running windows sbs 2008 be on the same network

I have two HP proliant dl360 servers. We are trying to set up one as a file server. Can we install a copy of Windows sbs 2008 on both machines (we have the license) in the same network

Hi
Every one is quite right you can not install SBS2008 on both machines. Only 1 server on a network can have SBS on it.
However all you need for the second file only server is Server 2008 (it doesn't need to be SBS)
Things to investigate
1. If you have a license for SBS2008 you may run Server 2008 on other servers with no additional client licenses (if you install server 2008R2 or higher on a second or more servers, you will need both SBS2008 and Server 2008R2 client licenses for each user)
So client licenses are sorted
2. If you already have 2 copies of SBS2008 for install, you may find you can downgrade SBS2008 to server 2008 (you will need to double check this, but generally means you can install Server 2008 without having to spend the extra money as you already have
paid for the SBS2008)
3. You may find a old retail copy of Server 2008 on ebay you can buy
Generally the solution to this is, SBS2008 goes on the most powerful server, and is set up as the domain controller, exchange etc.... then on the second server you just install Server 2008 and join it to the domain to be controlled by SBS2008 server, you
don't need to worry about extra CALS, as long as you stay Server 2008 or under
You then set up this second server independently with backups, shadowcopies and shared folders
Group policies for both are configured on the SBS box so you can set up predefined mapping etc
The difficulty you will have is obtaining the old software
If you uses SBS2011 you can use Server 2008R2 and before with no additional CALS
CALS relate to the core OS used, in SBS2008 it is 2008 in SBS 2011 it is 2008R2
Hope this helps

How can i use both Windows and Mac os at the same time on my iMac

You can use Parallels desktop or VM Fusion to run both operating systems at the same time. Both programs work well, but I personally perfer VM Fusion.

Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
(Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

Can i use both windows and OS X in the same hardisk

I want to install windows 7 ultimate(64 bit) on imac but if i install it can i use both OS X and windows in the same hardisk or do i have to plug in an external hardisk and can i still use OS X or only apple??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. You can install Windows and OS X in the same hard drive, because that's the purpose of Boot Camp.
I see you are using OS X Mavericks, so you can install Windows 7 or 8 in Boot Camp > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US Then, follow these steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
After installing Windows, your Mac will start up in Windows by default. In order to choose in which operating system you want to start up, just hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting up.
If you do not want to do heavy tasks in Windows, another option you should consider is to install Windows in a virtual machine with the use of an app like VMware Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels. This way is more secure and there's no risk to harm your Mac.

HT4356 Do I need an App to print from my iPad to my new HP AirPrint capable printer? My iPad says it can't find a printer and we are on the same network.

I have a new HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP that is supposed to have air print. My iPad isn't reading it. Is there something special I need to do? Both are on the same network and my laptop is working fine with it. Any suggestions?

1. Make sure it's setup for network printing

2. You can try using this App

3. Reboot router, printer and iPad if necessary

As long as you are behind a router, you don't need to have your firewall turned on at all, in fact it probably slows your computer and/or internet connection down a bit. The only time you need it is to either protect yourself against intrusion from others on your local network or if you hook your computer directly to a cable / DSL modem.

Window SBS server 2008 and window server 2008 R2 on the same domain

Hi all,
I am a person only work for linux system. Recently i work for my company that using microsoft technologie. So i have a lot of trouble. Could you please help me and below are my big troble that i have met:
In my system, i have the first window SBS server 2008 run on our domain. However my organization growth up and we have more than 150 users and mailbox of exchange server 2007. So i do not want to use my sbs server 2008 anymore.
I am going to install a window server 2008 R2 64 bit and join it into the same domain with sbs server 2008. It will be replicate the username, dns, OU and group policy...After that i will tranfer FSMO role to new server and i will demote then remove the
sbs server.
My boss say that i should not use this solution because window server sbs can not run with any other kinds of window server 2008 (R2, standard, enterprise...) and it will automatically shutdown the main server after a couple of days.
Someone have experience can help me. I am so confuse now

Maybe this will also help to better understand the steps involved:

And remember, as long as you don't move the PDC to one of the new DCs, you can leave the SBS 2008 up indefinitely. But I would remove Exchange 2007 off it right away once I've migrated the mailboxes and public folders, otherwise
you will get yourself into an Exchange coexistence scenario which is much more complex to configure and support because of the CAS differences, changing the URLs on the old one to "legacy.domain.com," getting a new UC/SAN cert with the correct
names on it, and more. Believe me, you really don't want to coexist them. The only time I've coexisted Exchange versions is during large migrations, such as 500 or more. Otherwise, I just migrate the mailboxes over a weekend and get it done with.

Running windows and OS 10 at the same time.

I am going to order a new iMac. I want to be able to have windows and Mac running at the same time. I will be using two monitors. My question is would I be better to order more ram, or the fastest processor to optimize the performance? My brother has a mac book pro running parallels, he says that it works or but is quite slow. Any help before I order my new iMac would be appreciated.

More RAM would speed things up more when handeling multiple applications at the same time.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.

When I hit reply in hot mail... only about 1/3 of my old email follows me to the reply screen.... it does this only on my notebook but is fine on my desk top... both run windows XP and both have the same version of firefox

I have an ACER notebook running XP and a HP desk to running XP... both run the same version of Firefox... on the notebook when I'm in an email (MSN) and hit reply only a portion of my existing email will go to the new reply screen..... and when I try to scroll down it stops part of the way down and won't let me see the complete email, let alone add a reply at the bottom....
Yet my desk top works fine..... Help please.... [email protected]

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Can two different members of Creative Cloud, to share the same project?

I work with a partner who also has a Creative Cloud account. If we need work in the same project, how can she access to my web accounts from her computer and viceversa?

Yep,
Two ways, you can either add the other person as a user or contact support and they can add the other account to your site.

Can two people update a single Pages document at the same time like with Google docs?

Is it possible for two different users to concurrently update an iWork document (pages/numbers/presentation) that resides on the iCloud?

That I don't know swithout testing.
My suspicion is that both users probably can open the same document but there will be conflicts when saving. Last one in gets to overwrite the others work.
There is nothing in place that I know of that arbitrates access.

Can two iPhones with different iSO get synchronized via the same iTunes?

Me and my wife have two iPhones 3S, sharing the same iTunes store account, which get usually synchronized via iTune 9.2. Now, I want to upgrade my iPhone to iSO4, while my wife is quite happy to momentarily stay with iSO 3.1.3. The question is will she be able to keep synchronizing her iPhone the old iSO3 way after me downloading (and installing) iSO4 on my iPhone? Need an advice before doing something foolish...

If you don't want to update your wife's phone, don't update. The OS is NOT part of the itunes sync, other than some apps may only work properly under iOS 4 once developers start updating their apps. You should have no problems doing what you want.

Can I connect more then one cDAQ-9188 in the same network?

Hi, I have one question for you.
Can I connect more then one cDAQ-9188 to moxa EDS-G205-T for querying simultaneously in the same PC?
thanks in advance for any response.

You will need a network switch and make sure they are different IP Addresses, but same subnet.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

2 Time Capsules ,2 macs. Can I synch one Mac to each TC on the same network please?

Hi All,
I have a network with a 2 Macs synching to one Time Capsule. My Daughter just got a new Mac and I have got a new TC just for her Mac. What is the best way to configure please? Currently we have an Airport Extreme, with the original Time Capsule extending the network. I want to assume that I can just start off the new (second TC)TC and link it solely to my daughter's new Mac, but from what I have read in other support communities perhaps it is not that easy?
So two questions.
1. Will it work
2, If so, which config please: AE+TC+TC
Thanks for all the help in advance. Andrew.

If you want your daughter's TC to connect using wireless, configure it to "Extend a wireless network".
Her TC will extend the AirPort Extreme network as well, so locate her TC close to the AirPort Extreme for the configuration. Once you have the settings saved, then move it to the desired location.
Obviously, it is important that her TC be located where it can receive a good signal from the AirPort Extreme.
Then, open Time Machine on her Mac and "point" her Mac at "her" TC, not yours.
