Data corruption using a Windows client

Hi, i have installed the MAC MINI with OS X Server Snow Leopard V10.6.8.
My clients machines are all IMACS (all Leopards) with Parallels 6.0 installed to be able to work with my accounting software which is a Win application.
both AFP and SMB are Services installed...
2 problems...  first of all i noticed, the access is much slower compared to a Windows Server and i have no idea how to speed up the access to the data.
The second problem is that quite often while using my Accounting Software the databases become corrupted and everytime we reopen the database, the software has to recuperate the data. Sometimes it takes more time up to 1 hour and sometimes a couple of seconds...
Can we do something cause or else, no matter how much i have paid for the Mac Mini, i will put it aside and go back to my Windows server that i had before.
I appreciate your help guys
Thanks
William!

OK Great. I'll give it a try. Do you know if Putty supports Bonjour over SSH?
I am not sure however you could install bonjour for windows and try it out.

  • SSH to Mac using a Windows Client

    I was just wondering if anyone knew of an easy (GUI) client program for a Windows XP/Vista computer to SSH into a Mac for file sharing?
    Also is there a SSH client program for Windows that will broadcast the Bonjour services that are found on the host (kind of like AlmostVPN, but for a Windows client)?
    Thanks

    Antec Server case 430w Truepower supply.

    I have no trouble posting and having the SATA drive come up as the boot device.
    My issue lies in the transfer of data to/from the drive when trying to install the OS.  I get inconsistent read/write errors throught the install and I can never get it passed the initial setup screen. It always BSOD's when it tries to load windows and finish the install. Obviously this is because a lot of the files were corrupted and/or not copied.
    This is what I have tried.
    I removed the SATA drive and installed a WD 40gig IDE drive : SAME ISSUE
    I tried formatting all drives for FAT32 and NTFS : SAME ISSUE
    I tried putting my working PC IDE drive in as boot drive and it just keeps rebooting itself right when it tries to load windows.

    Update:  Settings were already set as you described.  Same issue
    All is well now, however. All the issues have gone away in one fell swoop.
    Abit N7-S to the rescue. Booted on first try and stable as bedrock for 16 hours now.
    That just says a whole lot in stark contrast to the k7n2 from MSI.  
    Just my humble experience. No flame intended. I am sure MSI has plenty of wonderful products, but k7n2 @ 400 is not one of them as is evident by a simple perusal of tech forums around the web.

  • Data corruption using XMLDecoder

  • Physical and logical data corruption - use case approach

    Hi, can anyone advise me any book or other source where data loss situations are well defined and confronted with oracle backup and recovery solutions ? I mean something what considers many cases and brings solution analysis.
    I don't want anything that starts with oracle mechanisms. I want something that starts with a problem to solve and shows how these mechanisms can be helpful in this case.

    also you can start with oracle documentation

  • Installing and using the instant client

    Hi, we are having some troubles with understanding how to use the instant client.
    We are using a windows client, connection to our Oracle database via odbc, so we can make some staticstics.
    We used to use the full oracle client 8 install, but when that gave us some troubles, so we wantedto switch to a newer release, and saw that there was an instant client. Thinking that i didnt need to install the full oracle client i downloaded the basic package and the odbc addon.
    I unzipped the two archieves in c:\oracleodbc on a clean computer.
    I added the c:\oracleodbc path to the %path%
    I added TNS_ADMIN system variable pointing to c:\oracleodbc
    i ran the odbc_install.exe program.
    I would now think that i could access the oracle database via odbc without having to install the full oracleclient, but it does not work.
    When i try to add a odbc connection in microsoft odbc manager i get the following error when i choose the oracle odbc driver:
    "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126"
    When i click ok to that i get a new error window with the title: "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed" and the error text:
    "Could not load the setup or translator library"
    I was not planning to use any TNS files, but just use the quickconnect string, to connect to the right oracle service.
    Do i still need to install the full client for it to work or what ?
    Hope someone can help out.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm replying to an old thread, but did any of you ever got this resolved?
    I've got a fresh Windows 2003 Server install, from which I'd need to establish an ODBC connection to an Oracle database.
    I've downloaded Instant Client Basic and ODBC add-on, unzipped them into D:\oracle\instantclient10_2\ , added the path into PATH, TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME environment variables and run the odbc_install.exe successfully.
    Trying to create an ODBC connection (System DSN) results in "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126".
    I don't have MFC71 on the server and I couldn't figure out where to get those - I won't install MS Visual .NET just for this. MFC42 appears to be included in the OS.
    Where can I get an older version of Instant Client instead?

  • Windows Client MP is using the default action account to write to the Data Warehouse

    Hi,
    I have recently installed SCOM 2012R2, and am in the process of migrating everthing from SCOM 2007R2.
    Just after I installed the Windows Client MP (version 6.0.7250.0), I started getting this Event 11852:
    OleDb Module encountered a failure 0x80004005 during execution and will post it as output data item. Unspecified error
    : Cannot open database "OperationsManagerDW" requested by the login. The login failed.
    Workflow name: Microsoft.Windows.Client.Win7.ComputerGroup.MemoryTrendsRAM

    Instance ID: {16781F33-F72D-033C-1DF4-65A2AFF32CA3}
    Management group: 2012SCOMDEV
    This is happening every 7 days and only happening on the Win7 Management pack. I checked the DW logs and found that it was using the default action acount (SCOM ACTION)to send to the DW.  This account doesn't have access to the DW DB.
    I assume it should be using the Data Warehouse action account.  This is how the acount is setup
    Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here?  I have not had to touch the permissions for any of the other Management packs.  the rest of them just work.

  • Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247

    Hi
    Can you please HELP??
    I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
    from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
    When I open WLM I get this error:
    “Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
    Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
    I have since done the following:
    PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
     1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
     2. Click Start (then Run for
    Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
    %Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
    3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
    sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
    4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
     5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
    THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
    PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
    I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
    PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
    I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
    PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
    I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory. 
    I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
    PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.

    I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1.  It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc).  Once File(s), Folder(s)
    and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
    After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem.  I transferred her user profile with a free program called
    Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD.  I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old".  I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
     After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred.  When you move profile data, all the old permissions
    have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user.  This cleared up all the permission
    problems.

  • Getting current date without using client's clock

    Is there a way to get the current date without using client's clock?
    The java application we developed has many windows on which the Current Date is an important display field. As it's used 24x7, we need to make sure the date is current.
    Right now, we make a CORBA service call to get the date from the server everytime the user Resets any of these windows. This is causing a peformance issue due to the slow service call.
    Is it possible to get the Date once from the server and then start a timer to derive the date thereafter. Will a change in the client's clock affect this logic ? Can we implement this without using client's system time.
    Or is there another better way ?
    Thanks for your help.

    If I can summarize your current requirements:
    1. You need to know the time.
    2. You don't trust the client's clock so you want to get the time from another computer.
    3. You want this access to be "not too slow".
    I find requirement number 2 to be peculiar, I've never seen an application that doesn't accept the time on the client system as valid. However, there it is. Maybe it's a system for checking employees in and out, and the smarter ones have been faking out the system by changing the clock. If your CORBA connection is too slow, and NTP is too slow (it takes the little program I got from USNO about 3 seconds to synchronize my clock), why not write your own time server? A simple web server that returns only the time to any request would work. If that's not fast enough then I'd suggest you're out of luck.

  • Using iChat Server with Windows clients in an integrated Active Directory/Open Directory environment

    A co-worker (Super Brent) and I were working on using iChat as an internal IM server after having used Openfire for a couple days. The reason for switching was basically that we had a Mac Mini Server that was available so we decided to take this on.
    First problem: Knowing whether or not Kerberos was needed for AD/OD integration. We spent a ton of time on this, not knowing a huge amount about AD and with our server administrator on courses, we just kept poking at it and removed Kerberos.
    For the AD/OD integration, we first bound the Mac Mini to our Active Directory server. We shut off LDAPv3 support as we only wanted to use the AD functionality. Additionally, we ensured that the search policy in Directory Utility only used Active Directory. Then we created an Open Directory master in the Open Directory service. We enabled a self-signed certificate and trusted it locally. After creating the iChat service, ensure that you use the self-signed SSL Certificate and set authentication to Standard. (no kerberos).
    Second problem: Once this was complete, we started to test clients out. We were unable to successfully login using our AD credentials using Spark IM and Pandium IM. After trying nearly 100 different variations of server configs, we decided to try a new client. I installed Miranda IM on my Windows XP machine and tried a few different setups. It turned out that the magic potion was to make sure that the "resource" field was set to "Home" and use SSL for encryption. This resource setting was the deal breaker for the other IM clients as many of them such as Spark and Pandium do not have this as a login option.
    We ended up using Pidgin IM as the Windows client of choice as it did have the resource variable and it's interface was the best suited for our environment and users.
    I hope this helps someone out there as we spent days looking all over the internet trying to figure this out.
    Cheers,
    Frenchy and Super Brent

  • Font smoothing settings doesn't consistently work for every login on Windows 2008 R2 when using a RDP client

    I'm trying to use the MSTSC client on a Windows 8.1 machine to connect to a Windows 2008 R2 server. In the MSTSC experience tab I checked the font smoothing option. Font smoothing works some times and doesn't work the other times. I don't see a pattern here.
    any kind of help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Prasanna

    Hi Prasanna,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As you have Server 2008 R2, there is GPO setting available to specify whether font smoothing is allowed for remote connections.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
    Do not allow font smoothing
    If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, font smoothing is allowed for remote connections.
    You can configure font smoothing on the Experience tab in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) or by using the {allow font smoothing:i:1} setting in a Remote Desktop Protocol (.rdp) file.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.
