HP Proliant ML360 Server: How hard would it be to install Windows 2012 R2 on an older server like this one?
Hello,
I am an it tech in need of some help. I don't mess with our servers that often, and I could use some guidance in setting up this particular machine. We would like to use this server with 2012 R2 for Michigan M-step caching machine, and possibly setting up
a ticket system for maintenance, and technology repairs. This server was configured before I got here, and I would like to delete the current novell software and Server 2003, and start over fresh. Is there a manual that you could recommend, or a step by step
instruction guide that will show me the correct steps to take. I have watched youtube videos, read different articles, however they really didn't give me the information that I am looking for to set up this server. Any help you can give me would be greatly
appreciated!!
Thank you,
Angie
The very first thing you need to determine is if the ML360 is a 32-bit or 64-bit server. If it is 32-bit, it's a no-go. Windows Server 2012 is 64-bit only.
The next issue is installation media. Does the ML360 have a DVD or CD reader? 2012 R2 comes on DVD. It's possible to install from USB, but that's if the system supports it. Does the ML360 support booting from USB?
Yes, the smart start capability is neat, but it is generally geared to a specific release of an operating system for a server that supports that operating system. The ML 360 is old enough that smart start may not work on it.
I would go out to HP.com and download all the latest drivers for the ML360 and put those on a CD. I would also get the latest BIOS/Firmware. Make sure the system is updated to the latest BIOS/Firmware.
Before trying to give any further suggestions, it would help to know exactly what you have.

Tim -- all HP ML360s support 64-bit architecture. That was the first Series HP released full x64 bit architecture support. (I'm an HP Accredited Platform Specialist)
I agree with the other points however.

Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

How hard to make a website like this one ?
Hi, I hope I don't stress people with my status, but I'm a
complete newbie with desire to learn. I just figured out we have
Dreamweaver at school in the Mac studio, adobe version if I recall
correctly and I wanted to make a band website with it, but couldn't
understand where to start.
So first, since I don't want to hire anybody to do it for me,
I would like to know how hard it would be to make a website like
this one :
http://franzferdinand.co.uk/
In my logic, the first step would be to create a background
image with the menu drawn in it then add buttons to them to
navigate. I would then add the content boxes with scroll bars using
the draw div function.
My second question, how do I go about learning this software
? Are courses given somewhere ?
Thanks, Francis.> So first, since I don't want to hire anybody to do it

If you know nothing of web design and development, it's going
to be hard.
Not that you can't do it. It's just going to take you a lot
of time and
effort to get up to speed on things.

That isn't how that site was built nor the best way to to it.
The site in
question is fairly basic HTML and then styled with a lot of
well put
together CSS.
> My second question, how do I go about learning this

Don't learn Dreamweaver. Instead, learn HTML, CSS,
Javascript, etc. Getting
a basic understanding of HTML and CSS will then allow you to
figure out
Dreamweaver fairly intuitively, plus you'll have a MUCH
better framework of
understanding to work from.
And feel free to ask questions in here!

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:
Time Machine:
Skip System Files: NO
Mobile backups: OFF
Auto backup: YES
Volumes being backed up:
Macintosh HD: Disk size: 749.3 GB Disk used: 453.81 GB
Destinations:
Plastic Wrapper [Local] (Last used)
Total size: 999.86 GB
Total number of backups: 64
Oldest backup: 2013-07-24 23:25:11 +0000
Last backup: 2013-11-17 01:40:47 +0000
Size of backup disk: Too small
Backup size 999.86 GB < (Disk used 453.81 GB X 3)
Time Machine details may not be accurate.
All volumes being backed up may not be listed.
/sbin excluded from backup!
/usr excluded from backup!
/System excluded from backup!
/bin excluded from backup!
/private excluded from backup!
/Library excluded from backup!
/Applications excluded from backup!
Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?
Thanks,

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I need step by step instructions please. How can I animate it like that? Whats the font? Tell me everything please.To do a step by step instruction on here will take someone a very long time, as you havent really said at what level you are at.
On Youtube there are a lot of animation tutorials for PS. But essentially in this case you are moving that white streak across a few frames at a time.

I would like an editor like this one. Can I do this with dreamweaver?
I want to build an editor in my site with a login editor that looks like this one. I tried the adobeincontextediting and it won'e let me change the text size, color or insert a table. If I can just make one like the one on this page somehow with a login I would be so happy.
I built a site for my friend www.bigskyboxers.com and she wants to be able to edit it. I put the adobeincontextediting in it but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions? HeidiAs far as editing tables goes... they need to be VERY strictly formatted.
Please refer to this thread
"Re: Editing a Table using ICE"
I have more information on formating tables also on this thread:
"Re: Cannot save the selected regions"
Using your table, your code should look something like this:
<table border="0" width="600" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" background="images/hearts.gif" style="height: 350px">
<tbody ice:repeatinggroup="*">
<tr ice:repeating="true">
<td ice:editable="*" background="images/hearts.gif" > <p align="center"> <img height="225" src="images/epicstack.jpg" /><br>
OFA-Cardio Clear<br>
Thyroid Normal</p>
<p align="center"> <br>
</p></td>
<td ice:editable="*"><p align="center"> <img height="225" src="images/vindi2.jpg" /><br>
OFA-Cardio Clear<br>
SAS-Clear<br>
Holter tested normal "2 pvc's"<br>
Thyroid Normal<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I added <tbody> tag, highlghted in blue. Look over the notes on structuring tables as to why.
That will solve your problem if you follow the guidelines I have there.
Problems are highlighted in red. User cannot change background images that are nested. That should be done with CSS anyway.
Also, note that I left out the table that this table is nested in... nesting tables will not allow you to do what you are trying to accomplish. You shold wrap the table in a "div" and alternatively make that <div> something like <div ice:editable "*">
The other code on the page has repeating regions, etc, BUT NO EDITABLE REGIONS... it sould look something like this:
<div ice:repeating="true" ice:editable="*">Content for new Repeating Region goes here</div>
Read through the info on tables and it will help you alot. Generlly, I would say avoid them & alternatively use properly styles <div>'s instead. But if you MUST use tables, structure them as I have & they'll cooperate with you.
Good Luck,

How do i change netbios name in windows 2012 server
Hi,
i have create Ad on windows 2012 server and i have enter netbios name with end 0. now problem is when try to access any user it show netbios name there. is it possible that i can change netbios name or why it show netbios name.
sunit kumarHi,
We can use the active directory rename tools to rename domain NetBIOS name. But it is a complex and risky process.
For more information about how to use random.exe to rename domain name, please refer to the following article:
Rendom
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732097.aspx
Besides, renaming of the NetBIOS domain name is not supported in any version of Exchange Server.

How to Install Windows Management Framework 4.0 on Server 2008R2 Core
I am trying to upgrade Server 2008R2 Core to PowerShell 4. I have carried out following steps.
1. Installed .NET Framework 4.5.1 (NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU)
2. Enabled WoW64-ServerCore, WoW64-NetFx2-Support, WoW64-NetFx2, WoW64-PowerShell
3. Installed Windows Management Framework 4.0 (Windows6.1-KB2819745-x64.msu)
WMF installation shows that it was successful ("Windows update "Update for Windows (KB2819745)" was successfully installed.")
However when I restart the server following shows up on the event log ("Package KB2819745 failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0xd00000bb.")
This same process work on Server 2008R2 full version.
Has anyone seen this before?Hi Aka Nugawela,
The .NET Framework 4.5 and its point release is supported in the Server Core Role with 2008R2 SP1 or later, could you try to install SP1 then try again.

Installing Windows 7 on a mac mini server
I just purchased recently a mac mini server. Obviously, the server does not have a disc drive to install media. I would like to install Windows 7 on my mini in a dual boot configuration. I already had bootcamp set up the partitions, but i can't get it to install windows. I've tried making a USB flash drive from my windows disc, and I've also tried remote sharing from another laptop I have, but no luck on either account. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this working?
Option 1: Get a USB "Super Drive" and use it to install windoze.
Option 2: Use Parallels Desktop to run windoze.
Option 3: Wait for someone who knows more than I do to tell you how to do it using magic. -
Can I migrate physical hard disks in storage space from Windows 2012 R2 to Windows 2012?
Hi,
We have a Windows 2012 R2 server. It's running storage space with 10 hard disk in Parity mode. We would like to move the hard disks from Windows 2012 R2 server to Windows 2012, so that we can "free" our windows
2012 R2 server to do something else. Can we just unplug the hard disks in Windows 2012 R2 and hook it to Windows 2012 server without any data lose? If we can do it, what's best "formal" procedures to do it?
Thanks,
TakHi Tak,
Storage space will be recognized in different servers (and even clients) which support.
If it is just a "Parity mode", you can turn off the computer, unplug and connect these disks to the new server directly.
If any Windows Server 2012 R2 new feature is involved, it may not work in Windows Server 2012 but it should not damage your data and you can still connect these hard disks back to original server.
However, backup important files is always recommended.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
