Computer as a server?

I heard somewhere that you can make your personal computer work as a server and host webpages and such. Is this true? If it is, can someone please explain to me how to do it? Thanks.

Okay, I believe I have done everything you specified, but it still doesn't seem to be working. Here is what I have done.
Placed a picture in TIFF format into Macintosh HD/Library/WebServer/Documents
Selected the Documents folder from above path, and "got info". Changed Group to everyone, and changed access to "Read only". Applied to enclosed items.
Found my IP at http://www.WhatIsMyIP.com: 71.10.xxx.xxx
Opened System Preferences, went to Sharing - Services, and turned Personal File Sharing on. Closed System Preferences.
Went to http://71.10.xxx.xxx (with x's replaced with my IP, of course), and got the following error:
Safari cant connect to the server.
Safari cant open the page http://71.10.xxx.xxx/ because it could not connect to the server 71.10.xxx.xxx.
Anything I am forgetting?

The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST

Hi,
When trying with Postman sending a REST call to Azure Storage Queues I get:
The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST.
The code I have for creating the Authorization Header:
var accountName = "my_account";
string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["my_access_key"];
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
string formattedDate = String.Format("{0:r}", dt);
var canonicalizedHeaders = "x-ms-date:" + formattedDate + "\n" + "x-ms-version:2009-09-19" + "\n" ;
var canonicalizedResource = "/my_account/myqueue/messages";
var stringToSign = String.Format("POST,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n{0}{1}", canonicalizedHeaders, canonicalizedResource);
stringToSign = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(stringToSign);
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
var signature = Convert.ToBase64String(hmac.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToSign)));
var authorizationHeader = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "SharedKey {0}:{1}", accountName, signature);
return authorizationHeader;
Anyone any idea what I'm missing/doing wrong?
Additional question: do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?
Thanks.

One issue is with this line of code:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
Please use the following:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Convert.FromBase64String(key));
and that should take care of the problem.
Regarding your question, "do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?"
With your current approach, the answer is yes. What you can do is create a Shared Access Signature on the queue which will be valid for certain duration and then use that for posting messages to a queue using simple HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse.
Hope this helps.

Cannot get Win8 Pro computer run the Connect a Computer to the Server Wizard (computerconnector) of Essentials 2012

I've spent 1/2 the day trying to troubleshoot this problem and finally give up.
My client has a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server (with all updates installed - no errors in error logs nor SFC /SCANNOW). Purchased a new Windows 8 Pro computer, which we installed all the updates from Windows Updates and are now trying to join
the domain using the "Microsoft way" (i.e.: http://[servername]/connect).
The site comes up and it prompts us to download the software and run... so far so good, but when we get to the screen where it asks, "Type your new network user name and password" - the next screen after that we get the error, "Cannot connect
this computer to the network...".
I've been looking at cases all day long through Microsoft and Google - all pointing to problems with the SSL on the server - that's not the problem here (as other workstations have, in the past, successfully connected and we verified today that the local
server certificate is what is the default, as it should be).
I've tried just about everything I can think of and cannot get this silly wizard to work (why Microsoft, WHY!??!?!). Yet, I can join this domain just fine doing it through normal means. I've even tried joining the domain this way, and tried installing
the software afterwards (as the Essentials Console won't reflect the new workstation, thus it won't add it to group policies etc... though yes, I could manually do that and have - but we'd still like to get it to show up in the console). I even
tried the trick noted in a KB talking about running the connect software without joining the domain (registry key that gets added) - that didn't work either.
I'm out of ideas - and at this point had to get the client online and working today - so we joined it manually, configured it and left it. But I would like to get this fixed the "proper" way. Help?
I do have the clientdeploy.log file - which only points out an internal error, but I'm unsure how to enable the improved logging it suggests (I'll gladly post the logs if someone tells me how - I'll skip posting the log file here for now):
[1544] 140204.203620.0794: ClientSetup: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus had errors: ErrorCatalog:NetworkError ErrorCode:-1
BaseException: Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Devices.Identity.MachineIdentityException: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more
information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on
tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.
Suggestions? Thoughts? I hope Essentials 2012 R2 improves this - as I've had this error for other various reasons with other clients (and spent 1/2 days troubleshooting to clear those up). Essentials Connect, IMHO, needs a re-write - as
it's been nothing but a hassle... miss the SBS connect.

Hi slemay,
Before going further, please uninstall the Connector software from Control panel. Then connect again, will
the same issue persists? Would you please use another client to connect with the Server 2012 Essentials by using this way? Then monitor the result. Please make sure the computer has a physical connection to the local network.
Please refer to the TechNet article (Here)
and troubleshoot, then check if can help you to solve it.
In addition, please refer to the following articles and enable
WCF tracing to go further. Please check if you can find some clues.

Issue with re-connecting a Client Computer to the Server Essentials R2 2012

I have an issue re-connecting a Client Computer to Server Essentials R2 2012. The Client Computer in question was connected to the Sever originally. I started getting Error Messages indicating that I was running out of storage room. I
had been wanting to re-configure this Server with additional Hard Drives for some time, but something else always came up first. Now, I was forced to address the problem. I shut down the Server and added additional Hard Drives and while I was at
it I replaced the original Hard Drive that the Server Operating System was on with a much smaller Hard Drive, and reinstalled Server Essentials on that Drive. Everything was working fine and the Server Back-up went fine to an external Hard Drive.
I was ready to re-install my Client Computers. I started with my primary Production Computer first. The Connector Software seemed to install fine, but as I moved through the Connection Wizard I received the following Error Message: "Cannot
connect this computer to the network. This computer is already connected to another Windows Server Network. Before connecting this computer to the Windows Server Essentials network, you must remove this computer from the current network.
To resolve this issue, contact the person responsible for your network". I am the Administrator. I removed the Connector Software following the instructions in the "Troubleshooting connecting computers to the Server", but I continue
to get the Error Message whenever I attempt to re-connect the Client Computer. I have not attempted to connect any of the other three Client Computers yet as I need to resolve this issue first on my primary production machine. Where am I going
wrong? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi PARADOX-RED,
Based on the error messages that you provided, please remove the connector software from Control Panel completely. Then, in the problematic computer, please locate
to: Control Panel-> System-> select Change settings. And select the Computer Name tab in the System Properties dialog box, click
change button. Then in the Computer Name/Domain Changes dialog box, please take the computer out of the domain as a workgroup, and rejoin in new domain.
Please check if this issue can be solved. If it still exists, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Basic Functionality Questions - Is a computer required to serve content, etc?

I'm sorry if these are no-brainers. I ask them because I thought I had understood how an AppleTV worked, and had planned on buying one, until a friend who owns one insisted that the device functions differently than I had understood it to. I think he's wrong, but I was hoping you guys could clear up a few things for me.
1) Does an AppleTV require that I have another device (iPad, Computer running iTunes, etc) on and connected to watch content purchased from my iTunes account, or will it stream directly from the 'net?
2) If I've converted video content from a source other than the iTunes store (for example, ripped a DVD and imported it to my computer's iTunes library) can I stream it to my AppleTV (assuming the source computer is on?)
3) Assuming #2 is true, the content in question must be served by a computer - ie, I can't move it to the cloud, and viewing it is dependant on having my computer on and running. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance guys!

1- it will stream purchased items such as TV shows, not music unless you have the iTunes match subscription. You need another device if you want to do "home sharing" (share your iTunes library with other devices, If you have already bought movies, music, etc.)
2- You will have to import it to iTunes if you want to see it on your ATV.
3- Yes, you need to have a computer act as a server with iTunes running all the time...

Unable to enroll Computer certificates on Server 2008 R2 and older

I've found a strange issue with our CA setup, and it didn't used to be a problem. While renewing some internal certificates a couple of months ago I discovered that systems of the Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 and older families cannot enroll for a Computer
certificate or for a custom template I built for web servers. Systems of the Windows 8/Server 2012 and newer families can enroll using the exact same user and process without any trouble. Direct IIS "domain certificate" enrollment still
works.
I'm enrolling with the Certificates MMC snap-in to allow use of the enhanced security template I built. I open MMC, add the local computer certificates snap-in, and then attempt to request a certificate with Personal > Certificates > All Tasks
> Request New Certificate. I choose the Active Directory Enrollment Policy but then get the "Certificate types are not available" error message and a blank selection screen. If I check the box to show all templates the certificates
I want are listed with:
"The permissions on this certification authority do not allow the current user to enroll for certificates. A valid certification authority (CA) configured to issue certificates based on this template cannot be located, or the CA doesn't' support this
operation, or the CA is not trusted."
I've checked Event Viewer on both the CA and the clients, along with the CA request logs, but there's nothing visibly wrong. The error message seems to say it all but since Windows 8/2012 clients and newer work I know the CA is functional and that
the Administrator account can request certificates. I've searched the web but can't find anything like this specific issue.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hi Amy.
Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins have Read/Write/Enroll. Authenticated Users have Read.
I also created a copy of an existing certificate (Web Server) but am unable to see it when I go to New > Certificate Template to Issue. Our domain has had plenty of time to replicate the copied template.
I don't recall making any changes that would have affected a computer's ability to enroll. There has been some Group Policy work done and a new certificate template was created and marked to issue, but this problem was picked up by accident when I
went to generate internal certificates back in October. All administrative work is done as the domain Administrator account.
We didn't have issues with this CA when it was first built, so something did change. We don't have a large PKI environment, just some internal web sites, so if it comes to it I may just start over with everything. When we moved to Server 2012
on this system it was an upgrade from a Server 2003 CA that was never properly used or maintained. It may be better just to clean everything and get one consistent root certificate again.

Logical Disk space on a virtual Computer (not a Server) in SCOM 2012

Hello all-
   I have a sort of unique situation for our SCOM environment. We are already doing logical disk space monitoring on all of our SERVERS with no issues. Now we have one user who requires monitoring on their computer. This is really
a virtual workstation, as opposed to a real computer.   Since it's virtual, it's really online all the time.    Whether its right or wrong, they are using this virtual workstation sort of as a server. Anyway, they want me to
monitor the disk space for the C drive on this virtual computer. I'm having difficulty setting up such a monitor on a computer like that...
I got the SCOM agent installed onto the computer. SCOM is reporting it as being "Healthy".   Now how can I define a logical disk space monitor for it?   I attempt to create a monitor:   Windows Performance Counters,
Static Thresholds, Single Threshold. Then how can I direct the monitor at the C drive on the computer? I have to fill in the Object, Counter and Instanace. Normally I would click on the
Select button, then I would type in the server name and hit Enter and it would bring up all the objects it will allow me to monitor. Unfortunately it doesn't let me type in the computer name and hit enter in the same way. When I
do so, it says "The network path was not found". If I click on the
... button next to the Computer field, it brings me to a Select Computer screen. In here, I am type in the computer name and then I click
Check Name and it does appear to find it, and it underlines the computer's name.    So I then click
OK to bring me back to the previous screen where it presents me with the same "The network path was not found" error immediately. So I can't seem to navigate to the computer in SCOM and select the C drive, as I would be able
to for a server.
I tried to sort of force it in, instead of browsing for the computer and selecting the C drive. I simply put
LogicalDisk in for the Object then Free Megabytes for the Counter, then
C: for the Instance (as shown in the attached screen print.
Then I just applied my new rule to the computer via SCOM. I don't get any error messages when setting it up that way, but it certainly doesn't work.
So with all that said, can anyone help me out setting up a logical disk space monitoring for a COMPUTER in SCOM 2012 SP1 please? Please let me know if you need any more information!

Thanks, that would probably do it, I'm going to keep that as my backup plan. However, my current feeling is that it might be a bit overkill to install a whole management pack, when all I want to do is monitor a single C drive on a single workstation.
The rest of the monitors in the management pack I wouldn't have any interest it.   Let me ask you a question maybe you will know the answer to... Shouldn't I be able to monitor that drive even without that management pack installed?   I
mean some combination of settings for the Logical Disk Space rule in that management pack works for computers/workstations. Shouldn't I be able to reproduce that one single rule without the management pack? Does anyone have that management pack
installed? Could you possibly look at the Client OS Logical Disk Space rule and send me some screen shots or something?   Or am I missing something? Is the management pack needed for other reasons in order to monitor this?

Not able to open active directory user and computer in windows server 2008r2

Hi All techies,
i would like to know one issue which i am facing mostly, i have created 5 virtual machine all with window server2008r2 and one windows 7 on vm-ware now when ever i start my virtual machines everything going rite but when i try to open active directory user/
computer or domain and trust i get a following error "data from active directory user and computers is not available from dc(null) bcoz unspecified error" even when i chk in events log its give me no help, and after 15-30 min everything works good
Please let me know the cause of it and really appreciate it .
Thanks
Atul

You need to ensure that
1. group policy that says "wait for network before logon" is applied to all computers including servers and workstations is applied
2. DNS record exists for all DCs in DNS
3. If there are multiple Domain Controllers in Forests, then they point them as secondary DNS server. This way they will be able to resolve IPs if local DNS server service takes time to start.
As Chris mentioned, you need to start all DCs first, give a time of 5 minutes and then start member servers and workstations for successful logon.

ASA5500 using Windows 7 computer as NTP server

I have an ASA5510 connected to a computer running Windows 7 (the NTP Server) on its "inside" interface.
Using the ASDM, I have configured the ASA5510 to use the Windows 7 as its NTP server (my architecture forces me to use a local machine as an NTP server):
     -IP address: 192.0.99.1 (the ASA5510 has an IP address of 192.0.99.40)
     -Interface: inside
     -Key number: None
     -Enable NTP authentication: no.
I have other Windows computers on the "inside" interface using the NTP Server, so NTP traffic is relayed without any problem. But somehow, the ASA5510 is not able to synchronize with the NTP Server.
I see the following log entry:
     -Source IP: 192.0.99.1
     -Source Port: 123
     -Destination IP: 192.0.99.40
     -Destination port: 65535
     -Description: Teardown UDP connection 3905 for inside: 192.0.99.1/123 to identity: 192.0.99.40/65535 duration 0:02:01 bytes 96
so it seems like the ASA5510 sends a request to the NTP Server, but I am not sure whether the reply doesn't get processed correctly, or the connection stays open too long (my UDP connection timeout is the default, 2 minutes).
I had trouble getting SonicWALL NSA2400s to use Windows 7 devices as NTP servers. I had to get a firmware version where there was no MD5 authentication (which I think is OK in this case), and change a setting in the Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/W32Time/Config/AnnounceFlags: from 0xa to 0x5)
any insight is welcome.

How to join local computer to virtual server domain ?

Hi everyone,
I am new to Window Azure cloud computing. I found many articles and tutorials available online but I am kind of lost because I don't what I need to do to achieve my scenario.
Scenario: I want to migrate my servers to cloud and retire all local servers such as DC and file server. At the same time, I wish to control the network traffic to limit the clients access to Internet resources. I am not sure retiring the
all local servers is something right to do and how to do.
What I have done:
1. Site-to-Site VPN connection with Dell Sonicwall TZ205 to VNet. (I followed the route-based VPN in this document -> https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.software.dell.com%2Fdownload%2Fdownloads%3Fid%3D5343958&ei=ykGhVIK6GISWuASU6oHQBw&usg=AFQjCNGGS6fsuK6IHAWyQgZi5fey4xhfKg&bvm=bv.82001339,d.c2E&cad=rja)
2. Created a VM in the VNet. (I can ping the VM from computers connected to TZ205)
3. Installed active directory and configured the domain forest.
What I need to do:
1. How to join the local computers to the virtual server domain controller with S2S and P2S VPN. (Some Internet resources mentioned I need to install Connect agent in order to do this)
Extra questions:
1. Is it possible to request the clients to provide account credentials before the point-to-site VPN to VNet is established ?
2. How do I configure the TZ205 VPN router to send all the Internet traffic to the VNet instead of the ISP gateway? The computers connected to TZ205 firewall router public IP address doesn't change to the VNet gateway IP.
Thanks for your time reading my questions. It will be helpful if you can provide me some useful links or ideas.
Sincerely,
Chee-Kian

Greetings!
I assume there is connectivity between on-prem device and DC on Azure VM.
You can set the Internal IP of the DC as DNS on the on-prem device and trying joining it to the existing domain. Please note to use S2S VPN.
It is not possible to provide user credentials while connecting to vNet via P2S VPN. It's a certificate based authentication (which is so by design).
With regards to your query to send all internet traffic to vNet instead of ISP gateway. Please refer to Forced Tunneling:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn835140.aspx
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

How use oracle forms with oracle database in a local computer network(client -server homogenious network)

Hello experts,
                     I am new in Oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 and oracle database 11g at windows 7 platform.
I want to call my oracle forms(main login form) from different computers(windows7) connected in a local network.My oracle database is installed in a server computer.I am not talking about oracle forms hosting in internet.I want to deploy oracle forms in a local computer network connected via LAN cable or wi-fi.
thank You.

aaditya

In most cases you can copy the same entry found in the tnsnames.ora file used by the database. In the database home, the file can be found in \network\admin. Open the file and you should find something like this:
yourAlias =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
So in the above, you would need to set the alias (this can be anything you like), the IP address or hostname of the machine where the database is running, the port number used by the db listener, and the service name used by the db. Most of this will already be set for you if you are copying from the database tnsnames.ora. So you should be able to just copy and paste. More information about the tnsnames.ora file can be found in the db documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28317/tnsnames.htm

Trying to make my computer a testing server

I installed the package XAMPP I successfully. I think it's
running because I got a message that said so. Anyway, I have some
php files that I want to test on my computer, but it doesn't seem
to be working. Whenever I go to "preview in browser" for my
Dreamweaver PHP file, I am taken to the site below. This has
happened before. I don't know this site. Where did it come from? I
hope someone can explain to me why this happens. Any advice will be
appreciated. Thank you.

Also, I really need pointers on how to setup the

Do you have David Powers' book "Foundation PHP for

Most cost efficient computer for a server using these specs

I want to know how important processing power and internet connection are when talking in terms of using multiple java socket threads that receive messages from various clients at once..
I need a computer that can hold as many of these threads at once while at the same time I dont want it to be to costly.. For example it sounds like a waste to get a 3Gz processor and a super internet connection when I can likely do practically the same amount of threads with maybe a 2Gz processor and the same internet connection..
So how important are each of these factors? Can anyone suggest a machine that would be able to handle plenty of threads for a nice price? I'm looking for a high Thread/dollar ratio :)....

For chat, maybe not that much. The whole thing is likely to be driven purely by I/O from the users. I mean, the majority of packets sent to/from the thing would be expressing short texts messages typed by humans. Unless you're expecting a large operation, I would expect that this wouldn't be very taxing on your systems. What number of users are you expecting?
Offhand, the thing that glares out of me from your desciption is that you have a single server for pairing people up and (presumably) as a load manager for the chatroom servers. If that server goes down, you're in trouble. If I were you I'd consider adding some redundancy there. Any money might be best spent building up the cluster and making certain that there's plenty of redundancy to go around. For that matter, how many data centers do you have?
It also occurs to me that you might need a lot of disk space, depending on how much logging you want to do and whether you need to do some kind of session recovery after failures. Also are you storing user profiles for matching the people up? Do you have an external database server that you didn't mention? How much redundancy there?
There are services whose job is to hit servers and see what the response time is and whether they're up (they'll page you if they go down). That could be another good use for money, rather than specific hardware upgrades.
Generally it's very difficult to predict this kind of thing in advance, and a good profiling system and an architecture that will let you easily upgrade in response to problems is a good thing. Also lots of testing and load simulation is handy.
Hope this helps.

Linux edition connecting from computer other than server

Hi,
After a days hard work, I managed to install the sneak preview 6.40 on Linux. Everything is working fine, as long as I am running on the server.
If I want to connect from another computer with the GUI or a URL it showing errors, i.e. host not reached, host not found etc.
This probably has to do with my lack of Linux knowlegde on ethernet interface configuration.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings,
Vincent

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for your helping hand.
I am running on a SUSE Linux 9.3 distribution.
