DC and Mail Server VMs On Same Machine???

I don't see any issues. We have a few clients we setup this way and so far so good. I believe this is pretty much what VMware intended. Larger businesses can afford redundant servers and enterprise licensing, but us smaller businesses must work with what we can afford!
Just make sure you have a backup appliance like a Daito in case something happens to the server. You'll be able to run off the Daito device until your server is repaired/replaced.
I hope your setup goes well.

I need to buy a cheapo machine to serve as a second domain controller.  I also need to buy a new mail server. 
Is there any reason not to just create two VMs on a new Server 2012 machine and serve both these purposes?  One VM for the DC and one VM for the mail server?  Is there any danger of having a public facing VM on the same machine as a DC VM?
I know they are on the same machine, but aren't they really totally separate entities?

  • Business One, Terminal Server, and SQL Server on the same machine

    Hi,
    We have a customer who has a machine with Win Server 2003 R2.  They are using it as a Terminal Server with Business One for multiple users and as a SQL Server.  The have memory leakage issues which they believe are caused by our add-on, which, when it fails, has over a gig of ram allocated to it.  Our add-on was created using VB .NET 2005 and should be able to depend on the GC to prevent memory leaks.  Is there something about this approach that is problematic?  Should they have SQL Server on one machine and terminal server with Business One on a different machine?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    we have many customers that have this situation. all on one server.
    the only thing that i recommend is that the server has POWER !
    4 Gigabyte RAM should be minimum and the server should have 2 quadcore processor. -> this results in 8 cores and enough power.

  • Certificate validation when server is the same machine as client

    Hi guys i realize this is the most talked question about jsse, the validation of local certificates.
    I found a 2001 o'reilly page where they explain what is jsse and gives a complete tutorial of it.
    It comes with a sample secure http server and browser, and when i try to connect to the server with that browser it bombs out with the "couldn't find trusted certificate"
    Having read some posts here and googled around i found out that this sometimes happens because the name on the signed certificate does not match the url accessed from the server.
    So, if the server and client is on the same machine (127.0.0.1) and my machine name is FJL, can someone explain me how should i run the keytool?
    This is what i have been using:
    keytool -genkey -keystore certs -keyalg rsa -alias espectro -storepass serverkspw -keypass serverpw
    The keytool then prompted me for information to put into the certificate. My answers are shown in bold.
    What is your first and last name?
    ��[Unknown]: francisco leon
    What is the name of your organizational unit?
    ��[Unknown]: licom
    What is the name of your organization?

    the web server is found here http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/05/03/java_security.html?page=1 to page=5 or so
    page=4 explains something:
    You may wonder what happens when you run SecureBrowser againstSecureServer. It doesn't work. That's because SecureBrowser won't acceptSecureServer's phony certificate. However, we can trick SecureBrowser into accepting SecureServer's certificate. Here's how:
    So i use the keytool again to do what it is suggested:
    keytool -export -keystore certs -alias espectro -file server.cer
    then:
    keytool -import -keystore jssecacerts -alias espectro -file server.cer
    the jssecacerts file is located on the dir where i did the keytool thing, so i copy it to c:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\jre\lib\security
    and finally i try to connect to the secure httpserver found on that url with the secure browser found there too and i get the "couldn't find trusted certificate"
    could someone please explain me how to fix it? the article is kind of old and lists some properties which i haven't been able to find, along with some .jar (the article is dated before java 1.4 was available) and maybe i am doing something wrong.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, indeed, when keytool asks me about my name, i tried it with my machine name and now it works.

  • May i can't have Forms+Reports server on the same machine ?

    Gurus!
    I have installed Forms+Reports server on the same machine with their builders too. But then Forms & Reports server does not function when i call my .fmx file in browser the message,
    "Java applet loading" appears but then the process hang up.
    But when only installed Form server my .fmx file works.I also want to call my .rep files from forms.
    May i can not have Forms+Reports server on the same machine?
    Separately they work but not both but i require both how!
    I have also seen when both installed and when i start services of both then ifweb60.exe is called two times in memory, it shows from task manager's process tab.
    Please help!
    Many thanks

    1. Check these files to make sure you have the correct port settings for your forms: formsweb.cfg, base.htm
    2. In your Windows Registry:
    a. Add path for Reports Server (REPORTSxx_PATH)
    b. Make sure you also have FORMSxx_PATH defined
    c. Check values of your OracleFormsServer.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SYSTEM
    ControlSet001
    Services
    OracleFormsServer
    Verify the values of Host, Mode, Pool and Port.
    3. Check Metalink Note 97487.1 for additional info.
    And YES, Apache, Forms, Reports and Graphics can all run in the same machine.

  • How can I connect to Oracle and SQL server at the same time?

    I have been trying to find a way to connect to Oracle Database through the developer 2000 and SQL server at the same time. I need to return some data from Oracle Database and some from the Sql Server Database. And update both through SQL. I find there is such a thing as the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL server. I can't find it on any of my CD's or through OTN downloadable files. If anyone can point me where to get this. Or tell of another way this can be accomplished I would appreciate it. TIA.

    As far as I know you have 3 options depending on your specifications. I don't think option #3 will work if you need to actually join a
    SQL Server table to an Oracle table.
    1. Oracle Transparent Gateway. I haven't used the Oracle Transparent Gateway but my understanding is that Oracle gateways are
    separate purchased products from Oracle. I've never seen any free/development versions of it anywhere. You'll need to contact
    your Oracle sales rep about it.
    2. Heterogeneous Connectivity. There's something called Heterogeneous Connectivity that could work for you - depends on what
    version of Oracle you're on and what OS. You basically set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server and modify the listener.ora
    and tnsnames.ora files. You can then create a database link to SQL Server just like you would to any other Oracle database. You can
    check your Oracle documentation for how this works. There's also some very good documents on Metalink that tell you how to do this
    as well as a Heterogeneous Connectivity forum on this site.
    3. Use the exec_sql package available in Developer 2000. This allows you to open and execute cursors to remote databases within
    Developer. We have an account validation process that uses this - when a person enters an account number in a form while logged
    into Oracle it validates the account is valid in our main accounting DB2 database. We also pull HR information from DB2 into Oracle
    this way. If you're using Forms 6i exec_sql is a built-in command, in Forms 5.0 and 5.5 you have to add it as an attached library to
    the form. I think you also need the OCA options installed from the Developer software to have access to the library in Forms 5.0 and
    5.5. The library will be in the $ORACLE_HOME\oca20\plsqllib directory for these versions. The Developer documentation should have
    additional information.

  • How to use Forms 5 and DevSuite 10g in the same machine

    Hello everybody,
    I have installed forms 5 and IDS 10g in one machine and both the versions of the forms were working simultaneously. Now I have un-installed both the versions of the forms and re-installed in the same machine. Installation was successful. but I am not able to connect to the database in forms 5. It shows TNS could not resolve service name. TNS is created in both the versions with same name as well as different name. The IDS is working fine. Please help.
    Thanks and regards
    Sukanta sarkar

    Sukanto,
    What error are you getting? One potential problem you will have with more than one version of Oracle Dev Suite installed is keeping the TNSNAMES.ORA synchronized. I've found the easiest solution to this problem is to add the TNS_ADMIN registry key to each Oracle Home so I can share a single copy of the TNSNAMES.ORA file. You can add this entry by starting the Window Registry editor (regedt32.exe or regedit.exe) and navigate to the following registry hive:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => SOFTWARE => ORACLE => HOME? (where ? represents the number of the Oracle Home, eg., 0-9).
    In your example, Forms 5 should be in HOME0 and IDS 10g should be in HOME1. Open each home and add a new "String Value" and name it: TNS_ADMIN. After you have added the new String Value entry, edit the String Value and enter the path to the copy of your TNSNAMES.ORA that is working. Then do the same thing with HOME1 and exit the Registry. You should be able to connect to your database with Forms 5 and IDS 10g. Normally, changes to the registry do not require you to reboot your computer, but I have seen where this is necessary - though not very often.
    Note: Always ensure you have a BACKUP of the Windows Registry before you make any changes. If you uncomfortable modifying the Windows Regisitry, then I don't recommend you make this change.
    Hope this helps.

    What steps should i follow in order to avoid conflict..
    The OS is Windows XP SP3....
    I know that installing oracle 8i first and than installing oracle 10g is more convinient..But my requirements are different..
    so have to install oracle 10g first and then Oracle 8i on same machine..
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Hold on - it DOES matter - you shouldn't update new repository with old oracle installer, so be careful...

  • Mail Server "Type" and Mail Server "Address" for Incoming & Outgoing Mail

    First, the only browser I use is Mozilla's Firefox, the best browser hands down. Second, I have both a Yahoo email account and a Google "gmail" account that I use regularly (daily). I am trying to set up a mail washing program to rid myself of these ridiculous spammers & scammers, however I need to the the Incoming & Outgoing mail server "type" & "address" to do this and I seem to have guessed the yahoo settings, but I can't seem to get the Google gmail account set up properly. Yahoo settings that worked are: Server Type="POP3" and Server Address="pop.mail.yahoo.com", with advanced settings: Secure Authentication=Required, Secure Connection (SSL)=Required, Store Cached Emails=Yes, Server Port Number=995 (set), Pipelining=Enabled. The equivalent settings for the Google gmail account result in an error message = "Failed to log into POP3 Server". Of course user name & password triple checked, Type=POP3, Address=pop.mail.gmail.com, and , Address="pop.gmail.com" tried also, Port and other settings the same. Where can I find this info for both accounts? Tanks a million! -jw

    Yahoo and Gmail support should be able to help you.
    Not related to Firefox support, web mail doesn't use POP or SMTP protocols which is what email clients such as Thunderbird use for communicating with email servers.

  • Can I install OBIEE 11g and Database 11g on the same machine?

    i want to install OBIEE 11g on that same machine...
    i just want to be assure that will it cause any problem or conflict..
    because i set ORACLE_HOMe=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

    Please let me know what how to give...and is there any other way
    Thanks

    Hi Abhishek,
    You can install or mount both DB and OBIEE on same machine, but check out the disk space and memory needed should be more to accomodate both.

  • Install Oracle Application Server on the same machine with Oracle Database

    Hello!
    I have already have installed on my laptop the oracle Database 10g, and i want to install on the same machine Oracle Application Server; can I do that? After i look on some threads on this forum I understand that all I have to do is to change the default port 1521 of the database to antoher ..let's say 1523...how can I change the port? what files do i have to modify? Oracle Application server can work in good conditions with Oracle XE or I will have the same problem?
    My SO is Windows XP Professional SP II, all updates, 512RAM, 2Ghz-CPU
    Thanks!

    Well, you'll have some problems to run simultaneously Database and AS with 512 Mb...
    Apart from that, you don't need to start two listeners, you can use just one (the highest version) for both DBs.
    If, for any reason, you want to use two, you can change the port within LISTENER.ORA file, normally in ORACLE_HOME\network\admin.

  • Running Weblogic 8.1 SP3 and IPlanet 6.0 on same machine

    I have requirement to run Weblogic Platform SP3 and IPlanet 6.0 servers on same Solaris machine
    for a client of ours.
    Please let me if we can do this. What kind of issues we may run into.
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    Hi
    Of course, you can install both at the same machine.
    Only remember the memory required ... and the real memory available ... this for don't have swap problems.
    Remember too if you are planning to create WLS clusters ... BEA recommends 1 cluster per CPU ... and reserve 1 CPU for the iPlanet web Server. Even, you can install all clusters and web server as your machine support ( under load, try to mantain the CPU usage under 70-80%).

  • Multiple Middleware Homes and Node Managers on the same machine.

    Hi Experts,
    Before I explain the issue we are facing, I would like to explain the environment.
    - Single Machine.
    - Multiple Weblgoic homes (I mean two weblogic software installations).
    C:\Oracle\MiddlewareODS
    C:\Oracle\MiddlewareIAM
    - MiddlewareODS has a domain called "ODSDomain" with the maanged servers ods and oif.
    - MiddlewareIAM has a domain called "IAMDoain" with the managed server oim,oam,oaam,and oif.
    Our requirement is to have seperate nodemanager for each domain and they belong to different weblogic software homes.
    - MiddlewareODS node manager port is 5556
    - MiddlewareIAM node manager port is 5557
    Though we configured different port for each node manager , we are not able to start both the node managers. We are able start only one node manager at a time.
    My question is, Can each weblogic home has it's own node manager on the same machine ?
    Thanks

    Nodemanagers are not domain specific. Thus you can have one nodemanager in one machine and have multiple servers from multiple domains managed on that machine via this single node manager. You just need to update your nodemanager.domains properties file to have all the domains which your single nodemanager would listen to.
