Crystal XI Runtime with Windows 2008 Server

Hi all
We have been using Crystal for many years with our application, distributing Crystal Runtime with it.
We have our own DLL which interacts with Crystal to display a setup screen to get the user to enter values for the parameters within the report and then runs the report.
All works fine except for running on Windows Server 2008. We have Crystal Reports 11.5 and the runtime on the server is also built with the 11.5 merge modules.
Where the application fails is during a call to the TApplication.OpenReport. Windows isn't giving much information apart from an error has occurred.
Can anyone tell me if there is a known issue running under Windows Server 2008 and whether there is a fix.
I have posted in a different forum, but trying here as well. Getting desperate.
Many thanks.
James

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Legacy Application Development SDKs Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

I am unable to install the coldfusion 10 mandatory update on standard with windows 2008 server

I can download the files as specified, but cannot proceed from there

Hello,
For some people the cf10_mdt_updt file has downloaded as zip extension, those have renamed download to jar extension.
Perhaps you can try this:
- copy cf10_mdt_updt.jar file to CF10\jre\bin\
- run CMD as Administrator and then CD to CF10\jre\bin\ path
- Type in: java –jar cf10_mdt_updt.jar and press Enter
- follow the graphic user instructions to install the mandatory update

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

Problem with 10.2.0.5 patch on Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit

Hello
I have HP server with Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit. I installed
latest 64-bit version of Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and everything works fine and later installed the patch 10.2.0.5 (64 bits) as the Oracle maintains that with the R2 version of the system it is necessary to correct work.
Now, after uploading the patch database starts and closes
after about 15 minutes and my alert log file is changed to the binary version which do not see anything (means that after patch installation (10.2.0.5) the alert log file isn't normal text file and it looks like that:
Źýţ cśy iµ•eű .Ź ťy ťy Ř®y hčN)
You can read only the beginning and it's very large - 13 Mb after unpacking from ZIP.
Can anyone met with this configuration and knows how to solve
problem?
This is the link to my strange alert log file:
http://www.2shared.com/file/22MFap1V/alert_orcl.html
I attached my spfile.ora file too:
http://www.2shared.com/file/gUmID0fh/SPFILEORCL.html

Your alertlog is corrupted, it could be something about a virus or even a problem with disk drives. Have you scanned your server with anti-virus software? Have you scanned the disks?
Last questison: Have you upgraded your database after you installed the patch?
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
SQL> STARTUP UPGRADE
SQL> SPOOL patch.log
SQL> @ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\catupgrd.sql
SQL> SPOOL OFFIf not, please read the "readme" file which comes with patchset (do not just run the above commands without reading Oracle documention).

Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

Hi All
We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-
*Connection failed:
SQLState:'08001'
SQl Server error:10060
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client] TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party didnot properly repsond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Hi Eric,
yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabhu Reddy.

Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2? We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine. All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005). The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
What we are finding is:
1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed. So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions. While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart. There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window. Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services. My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.

Ross Unger

Does Windows 2008 Server run ok under Mac Mini Bootcamp?

Does anyone have any experience of installing and running Windows 2008 Server on a Mac Mini (of which has either Mac OS or Mac OS Server installed), under Bootcamp?
I currently have an old Dell with Windows 2008 server which acts as my Domain Controller, Exchange Server for a small home-office network. It's due an upgrade as the hardware is so old (and noisy!) and like the idea of having a nice compact, quiet Mac Mini, but want to make sure it can carry out the same duties under bootcamp on Win2008?

Windows 2008 can be installed in Boot Camp. However I don't believe it is officially supported by Apple so there may or may not be issues with installing the Boot Camp Drivers (or future updates to the Boot Camp drivers.) Not something I'd be recommending for a "production" environment. If this is a test/dev system, then probably worth trying, depending on how critical your network uptime is.
Also, you didn't mention if your Dell came with Windows 2008 preinstalled, but if it did, then likely it has a "branded" version of Windows that won't activate correctly on non-Dell hardware. (If your Windows disks have "Dell" on them, they won't work with the Mac.) So you may need to purchase a retail or volume license copy of Windows 2008.
In general, for a server running as a DC & Exchange, you'd want RAID1 as a minimum so that would be the Mac Mini Server, not the "desktop" Mac Mini. Unless you have one lying around, you're looking at something around $1500-$2000 to start, depending on whether you can transfer your existing Windows 2008 & Exchange installations. (Another $500-$2000 depending on what vesions of Windows & Exchange.) And probably 8GB of RAM since Windows 2008 & Exchange on 4GB is pushing it. Considering the costs, I suggest you look at the Dell T110 series or the HP Proliant 110 series. Both lines are very quiet and are supported for Windows 2008 from the factory, including Windows Small Business Server, which includes Exchange. While not as small as a Mac Mini, they are mini towers and about the size of a typical PC desktop.
If you really wanted a small footprint, then HP has a "microserver" series. You'd probably need to call HP to get the build you want as the online ordering is limited for that model. From Dell, there is the Zino model desktop. Again, not supported for a "server", but you were going to consider a the non-server version of the Mac Mini, then the Zino has at least a chance of you reusing your existing versions of Windows if they're Dell branded, thus saving your something in the range of $500-$2000 for new software. (But I would NOT recommend a non-server chassis without RAID1 hard drives, so the Zino is not my choice. I just offer it as a possibility if you accept the risk of an unsupported installation, as would have been installing Windows 2008 in Boot Camp.)
So yes, it will work. But I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment, especailly if you have the "desktop" computer without RAID1.

WLC integrating with Windows 2008 AD

Hi,
I want to integrate WLC with windows 2008 server. If anybody done this integration i would like to know what are the step i need to do in the Microsoft Side, If you have any document related to MS 2008 integration pls share the information with me.
Thanks in adavence.
Regards,
Sunish

Can you provide more detail around what you mean by integrate? I don't think a WLC can talk directly to AD (Kerberos, LDAP, or otherwise).
If what you mean by "integrate" is to be able to authenticate wireless users against AD, then you will need something to proxy that authentication. That is usually a RADIUS server. Cisco ACS and Microsoft IAS and two common RADIUS servers, both of which can talk to AD. Check out the Cisco ACS 4.2 configuration guide for a good example. Here's a link to an older Microsoft article, but it still applies to 2008 (Microsoft IAS is still included with Windows Server).

Will Windows 8.1 uninstall Windows 2008 server

I have a test box with windows 2008 server install. I now want to UNINSTALL windows 2008 server and INSTALL windows 8.1. Do Need to uninstall windows 2008 server first or will Windows 8.1 uninstall it for me?
thanks in advance.

Hi,
If Windows Server 2008 is considered no more useful, we may take a clean install of Windows 8.1 and choose to format the whole drive. And it is recommended to take a Windows Server 2008 backup first, just in case.
Some reference:

Oracle Express and Windows 2008 Server

I successfully installed the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on our new Windows 2008 Server. However, after install I can not open the Database Home Page in IE 7.0? The problem description I get when I click on the Diagnose Connection is "127.0.0.1" is not set up to establish a connection on port "8080" on this computer.
The server is also a domain controller, DNS server and DHCP server.
Is this version compatible with Windows 2008 Server?
Is it a DNS problem or may be a security problem?
Heinrich

I have not tried it on Windows 2008. But the challenges with your configuration could be endless. Here are some common issues:
1) XE must be installed by a local machine administrator, not a domain administrator
2) XE requires several ports (1521, 8080)
3) Firewalls and antivirus are known to crash the install
4) Often 3) will block the installation of the database
Note that XE does not use any form of HTTP listener - the database listener does the bassic work and passes HTTP requests into the database. So no Apache or IIS requires with XE.

Crystal Reports (VS-2005). Service Pack for Windows 2008 Server

I had issues with reduced font size on Export and Printing. On a PC with Windows XP SP2 installed, I made registry changes as recommended in this post:
[Font size decreases when exporting to PDF (Crystal Reports)|http://mdn.morovia.com/kb/Font-size-decreases-exporting-PDF-Crystal-Reports-10053.html]
Prior to making registry changes, I also installed Crystal Reports SP1 for VS-2005. After this, everything seems to be working fine.
But I still have this Reduced Font Size issue on my Server with Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise installed.
I installed the same Service Pack and made the registry changes, but the changes don't seem to appear. It is still showing Reduced Fonts on Export and Printing. My server is also running Visual Studio 2005.

I concur with Bhushan;
It may or may not work with windows server 2008 .
One idea;
Use [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx]. Look at the procmon logs and see if the registry key is being looked at \ accessed by the report engine.
Other than that, upgrade to a version of CR that supports the OS is your only option.

Windows 2008 server with a Z77A-GD65 m/b?

Hi,
I picked up a Z77A-GD65 last evening assuming I could install Windows 2008 server on it. Upon trying, the install DVD doesn't even see the hard drives.
Any suggestions? Is this m/b not compatible with Win 2008 servers?
Thanks!
--Ben

Try loading the AHCI drivers just like you would raid drivers.
(Intel Rapid Storage Drivers)

If you are trying to use SATA_7 or SATA_8 you will need to load the AS Media controller drivers:
