Desktop vs server hardware for Windows server

Team,
I have purchased an HP Envy 700-215xt with Windows 7 OS , Intel i7, 8GB RAM, 2TB SATA disk.
I have reformated the harddisk completely and installed Windows 2008 Server software and will be installing few commercial applications such as Oracle training database, microsoft ERP or CRM.
Overall usage of this PC is going to be light with 10 training users. I had few driver issues that I have sorted out and for the most part, this desktop is in functional condition.
I wanted to find out if I need to be aware of any performance issues as it is a desktop and not a server hardware. Since It is Intel i7, I thought it might be okay for us to give it a shot. Do you think Intel i7 chip can handle 10 user workload with few high-end applications?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Raj K

A.AAre you looking for client-based ADI or Web ADI ? If the former, see Helios' reply above.

[Desktop][Other] Universal App for Windows 10

Spotify should consider developing a universal app for Windows 10 so it can be used on Desktops, Phones, Tablets and on the Xbox. You already have a Windows Phone app so I'm assuming the majority of the code is already written. Essential features such as connect need to added to the app also. Having Spotify on the Windows Store for desktop would be beneficial for users who are not tech savy and only use the store to install applications. There are a couple of people I know who wanted to try Spotify out and came back to me saying they "couldn't find it on the store". Seeing as Windows 10 will be a free upgrade to both Windows 7 and 8 users it would be a great idea to look into this.

HP Envy 700-214 desktop drivers not ready for Windows 10 Prime Time

Really disappointed in HP for not being ready for W10 rollout. I upgraded my HP Envy desktop PC 700-214 and after the upgrade, I could not connect to the internet. Didn't recognize the networking hardware. Went to HP Support (on different computer) and found out here aren't W10 drivers yet for this machine. Very Poor.My wife has a Dell laptop and we have another older Dell that upgraded no problem. Why because Dell is on top of their $__t when it comes to this stuff.Won't by HP again.

Also with the lastest Windows HP will probably not support redoing drivers for older system as that will be cost prohibited to do. And it will be up to the Endusers to find the right drivers and software that matches their system to work with Windows 10 assuming they work with Windows 10. As to Dell that is something only Dell can answer that question and since we don't know if this is Dell Consumer or Business product since this falls outside of HP forums to discuss. You can't expect to have drivers if your system is too old to support Windows 10.

Disbale Desktop Sharing in Jabber for Windows for single users

Hi,
is there possibility to administrative disabling the desktop sharing feature for selected users?
CUP and CUCM is 8.6. Jabber is 10.5. Use DesktopSharing via Chat without any phone or deskphone only.
Regards

I am referring to the new Screen Sharing way in Jabber 10.5 for screen sharing without having a video call running:
"In addition to the video screen share (BFCP) feature that is available to video-enabled clients when on a call, users can now screen share directly from an IM conversation when video share is not provisioned or available."

How to install hardware for windows 7

I cannot find drivers for peripherals and I cannot connect to the Internet because drivers for wi-fi and ethernet are not available

You need to download the drivers from the Apple website while booted into OSX. Burn the drivers onto CD and then, boot into Windows.
Install the drivers from CD. Do you have an external CD drive for your MacBook Air?

8130 trying to use BB desktop software using Parrallels for Windows on a MAC

I have a blackberry 8130 which I used to sync on a Windows machine using the BB desktop software. It worked great allowing me to transfer my contacts from Act! contact management software.
I have moved to a Mac and use Parrallels software to run Windows in the background on my Mac. All my software works fine but i cannot get the blackberry desktop software to recognize my 8130. ie - it does not show it as connected.
Suggestions?

When configuring your Parallels windows profile, make sure that the USB ports are bridged into the client (windows) operating system. It's the same thing as with the CD-Rom drive, except that you may need to enter the configuration screen, and explicitly state that you want the USB connections to be mapped to windows as well.

[Desktop] Spotify app update for windows 10

Hi, Spotify.I recently upgraded to windows 10 and was wondering when your application will stop looking muddy on the latest version of windows? Like:
To have it look ok I'm forced to setup compatibility settings (come on guys. you keep updating your app every week or so!?).
I mean it is not like the next version of windows dropped from the sky? And no, my display is setup correctly with the native resolution, no custom dpi scaling whatever.
Or perhaps you should switch UI frameworks...?

Wanted: Your Skype for Windows Desktop ideas

We have just launched a new Windows Desktop Client idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows desktop client.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Make sure your ideas are for the right client. This idea board is for Skype for Windows desktop client, not Skype for Windows 8.
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's a way to recognize someone's effort and to signal to us how important the idea is to you. We are using votes and comments as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the top left side of the idea board.
Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is. Remember to include how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it as well as scenarios that you think the idea would be used it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
You will need to select a label for your idea, you can choose from one of the following labels:
Voice
Tell us how you would change the calling experience in Skype when making voice calls to contacts or phone numbers.
Video
Video is one of the core functionalities of Skype, tell us how you would make it better!
Instant Messaging & Contacts
How would you make the messaging and contacts experience better? You can also include ideas around how you would improve the main user interface of Skype within this label.
Sharing
Today you can share photos, videos, files or your computer screen using Skype for Windows desktop. What would you change or add to the sharing experience to make it better?
Tips to draft your idea:
Start with a clear title
Include scenarios and use cases for how the idea would be used
Add appropriate label(s)
List features and benefits
Keep it short and to the point
Avoid tech speak
Do not be discouraged if your idea was not selected. Sometimes what seems to be a simple idea may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Idea Board all about?
Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.

New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.

In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to filter ideas by status, for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
How to check if an idea exists already?
Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
What do the votes/kudos mean?
Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
What do the different idea statuses mean?
We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
Already exists - This is available in the product.
Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
What ideas have been implemented so far?
You can check the "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic which we will post once the first idea got implemented.
Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
Who moderates/ manages the ideas board and in what frequency?
The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a bi-weekly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No. Unfortunately we are only collecting ideas using the idea board at this time.

Wait!! If you about to post a reply to this thread this post is for you!
You guys who have posted obviously have not read the first sentence of the long OP, let alone the whole thing.

If you are asking questions about skype issues this thread is really the wrong place lol. Getting an answer to yoru question will require a little effort on your part.
First go here:
https://support.skype.com/en/
Read through that page, if you want to narrow it down and search, use the search.
Since the search targets all skype forums, include which OS you are on.
However since you all are probably on windows, click this link and use search or browse topics.
Do not post a new thread without using search. Look for forum topics marked as [Solved]. Doing otherwise spams the forum and is globally known as inappropriate and poor forum etiquette.

uninstall and reinstall didn't help. so would that mean Palm Desktop 4.1.4E for Windows does not work with Windows Vista ????

Performance Tuning Guidelines for Windows Server 2008 R2 mistake?

Hi all,
I'm reading the "Performance Tuning Guidelines for Windows Server 2008 R2" and I think there is same kind of error. At page 53 there is a sub chapter "I/O Priorities" that explain how to handle I/O priorities.
In the guide it is said that in the registry I have to have a key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{Device GUID}\DeviceParameters\Classpnp\
Where {Device GUID} I think it is the value I get in device manager under one of my disks -> properties -> details -> "Device Class GUID"
the trouble is that under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\ I've no subkey matching my disk's device class guid! Maybe I'm drunk but I've checked every sub key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\
but neither of them as a subkey named "DeviceParameter"!!
So am I wrong?

Hi Andrea,
To find the "DeviceParameter", please try to follow the steps below:
1.Find this registry key and note the DeviceInstance value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\
2.Find the device instance registry key under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum" which contains information about the devices on the system and get the device interface GUID:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\<hardware id>\<instance id>\Device Parameters
I hope this helps.

E-MU 0404 PCIe Digital Audio System for Windows server

E-MU 0404 PCIe Digital Audio System for Windows server
Is it possible use E-MU 0404 PCIe under Windows Server 2008 or 2012?

For windows Server 2008 and Server 2012 you may need enable Desktop Experience Feature
The Desktop Experience Feature enables a bunch of stuff that is by default present on a desktop OS. Most importantly it includes Themes, Windows Media player and the Aero related features. You will have to enable it form the Server Manager. The "Turn Windows features on or off" / "Add remove windows components" has all been rolled into the Server Manager now.
Server Manager > Features > Desktop Experience
Installing the Desktop Experience feature does not enable them. You have to manually set them up.
After that Windows Server 2008 == Vista x64
Windows Server 2008 R2 == Windows 7 x64
Windows Server 2012 == Window 8 x64
So just use the appropriate desktop drivers - that are available

Can I use my Server 2012 r2 key for Windows 8?

Right now I am using Server 2012, but as a desktop/gaming OS. I have been getting a bunch of DirectX and xinput errors lately so I wanted to know if my key could be used for Windows 8.1. I got the key through DreamSpark if it matters.

It doesn't really matter where you got it, a server product key cannot be used to install a client OS. Where were you planning to get the installation media for 8.1?
In any case, the server edition which corresponds to 8.1 is server 2012R2. Server 2012 corresponds to Windows 8.

Got Display driver via Windows Update for Windows 8.1 and try to use it for Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi Everyone,
the following driver cab is from Windows Update:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=5be01620eea95d8c&id=5BE01620EEA95D8C!138&ithint=file,.cab&authkey=!APDi54-R1Ob5IWQ
It includes this display driver:
Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
My problem is: I can't install this driver on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I tried the following, nothing worked:
a) pnputil -i -a intel.cab
b) Extract cab, update the device's driver in device manager, select "search for driver software in this location"
c) copy the files in system32/, system32/drivers, syswow64/ from a Windows 8.1 system to a Windows Server 2012 R2 system
Isn't it true that any Windows 8.1 driver should also work for Windows Server 2012 R2 (same os version)?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: I first posted my question here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/got-display-driver-via-windows-update-for-windows/31c287c8-ef84-4c81-8530-8c51412376b7
