Interesting problem with RAID, Windows 2008 server, and Ubuntu

sooooo, i got the system working and linux loved it. just adored it.
however, Windows did not. Windwos 2008 server hard locks from time to time. i fianlly figured out that it had to do with the RAID 0 i was running, that didn't really succeed.
However, when i rebuilt the RAID and everything on it, it refuses to recognize the disk, sayign that windwos cannot determine if this drive has a valid system volume on it.
Ubuntu 9.04 server, however, just took it and made it work great.
I enabled the PCI Bus SATA to be Master in the BIOS, and then Windows Server 2008 said that it could not determine if the drive was bootable. Then i went back and redid the raid, and it did the original error.
I inserted a windows xp disk, destroyed the RAID, and then installed the software on a NEW disk. While it installed fine, it gave me an IRQL_not_less_than_or_equal error. It boots in safe mode, but no where else. I tried installing the NVRAID and MCP55 drivers in safemode and what not, but still, it refused to cooperate. I went back to ubuntu, this time the desktop/workstation versions, and i am doing an alternate install with RAID...much to my disappointment becuase now i will have to use VirtualBox to isntall windows...and if that fails, i'll be really pissed.
My settings are as follows:
SATA Controller 0-5 enabled
NVRAID- enabled
PCI BUS SATA- Option ROM Enabled, Master Enabled, and 0040h latency
MAC LAN- same as above
MAC LAN1- has master disabled, but the other stuff is the same
Serial port A is on AUTO, B is disabled, and floppy is disabled.
Option Rom is PFA relocation.
Also, my AEC A6880 is giving me a ROM expansion error, even though, in both OSes it can be seen....usualy. I just want to fix it
lastly, my LSI PCI-E scsi adapter is not being seen at ALL.
thanks guys.

What's the BSOD error? Are you using XP installation disk with included SP3?

Radeon Drivers problems with BootCamp Windows 2008 Server R2

Hello !! I have some troubles with BootCamp and Windows 2008 Server R2... I can't find any graphic drivers for my AMD Radeon HD 6490 !! Heeeelp please
(I Have a Macbook Pro i7)

Shoooryuken, did you ever get this problem resolved? I have thhe same issue...
I have the 2011 MacBook Pro 15" 2.0ghz Quad Core i7 with integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon 6490M.
I just installed Windows Server 2008 R2 (Which is based on Windows 7) using Boot Camp. After I installed it, the I only have 3 resolution options, all of which are stretched. I checked the device manager and found that the Apple Instal DVD did not work and only a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" was installed. It also reports a whopping 16MB of graphics memory
I downloaded the "detect and install" driver utility from AMD (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx) and it detected my correct OS and downloaded something (driver maybe?). When I clicked install, I recieved this message: "AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. Your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter."
I don't really know why Windows does not detect the graphics card. Right now I am trying to install the Intel graphics drivers for the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics... I will report back if I get the integrated graphics running...

Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server. I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers. Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer. I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

Microsoft Windows 2008 Server and RDC

hi:)
We have a fairly serious problem. Many of our customers have a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running our ASP web solution on that machine. In this web solution we use RDC (crystal) to show reports on the net, which works perfectly. But now a couple of our new customers have installed Microsoft Windows Server 2008 32 bit and 64 bit version. But when we are showing these reports on a Windows Server 2008, the result is not correct. It show a completely wrong result in the reports. This meaning showing 4 timers the records it should do.
Do u support Windows Server 2008 32 bit and 64 bit with RDC (crystal) ?
Have anyone experienced the same problem?
Sincerly Jan Tovgaard, Egdatainform, DK

Hi Jan
CR XI, CR XIR2 and CR 2008 have not been tested with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and MS Windows Server 2008 would be added to the supported platforms Guide when it is done.
Please refer to the Supported Platforms Guide for CR XI, CR XIR 2, CR 2008 for more information.
Hope this helps!!!

Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

Hey Guys,
I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
to connect to
So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please follow the below steps and verify result.
LAN manager authentication level settings (Local security policy->Local Policies->Security Options->Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication level).
Try to change it to "Send NTLMv2 response only"

Problem with passive mode FTP server and NAT

Hi,
I have a problem with Passive mode FTP and NAT.
I am trying to run both an FTP server and sharing the Internet connection via NAT. I have by the way specified the passive ports to use in ftpaccess (65000-65534). Everything works fine until someone tries to connect via Passive mode. I have tracked the problem down to the firewall and the rule that handles NAT.
Firewall rule config without NAT:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
Firewall rule config with NAT
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
00010 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
So, passive ports do not work when NAT is on. If I turn it off, Passive ftp works like a charm.
But how do I solve my problem? I have in my quest for the answer stumbled upon "-punch_fw" but do not know how to use it or if it even helps me at all?
Best regards,
Peter

Problems with Mac OS X Server and webperfcache...

I'm running Mac OS X server 10.4.11 and I'm trying to get mod_rewrite to work (thus far unsuccessfully). As part of my debugging strategy I want to turn everything around apache off and start pulling things apart to see if I can get them to make sense. When I turn the web performance cache off on all my sites using the site administration utility, apache gets a bus error when it attempts to restart. When I turn web performance caching back on, apache continues to get a bus error. Reboots, et al. don't clear up the problem and all I can do is go back to my system backup and bring up the previous day's version, which I can currently live with.
Has anybody seen this before? Alternatively, has anybody had problems getting mod_rewrite to work and can give some advice. I'm doing pretty much everything that works on other U*x based systems and has worked before, but the lack of control over the ports used by the web sites on my system is problematic and I would, at the very least, like to be able to turn off webperfcache.
Thanks in advance,
Dick Munroe

I am actually going to be doing almost exactly the same thing in the next 1-2 weeks. My plan is to make the OS X server a BDC on the domain, then promote it to PDC and retire the Windows Server 2k3 PDC.
I have 1 Win2k3 PDC and 1 Win2k3 (64-bit) Terminal Server. My main worry is whether the PDC is handling the licence CALs for the TS.... if it is, that will interfere with the plan.
Email me and let's discuss this off-line.
Thanks,

Problem with a Oracle 8i Server and Oracle 8.0.4 Client

When I try retrieving data from my Oracle 8i Server using a Oracle 8.0.4 client, the data retrieved in varchar2 fields comes back in a different format than previousley. I also have setup an Oracle 7.3 client and an Oracle 8i client both of which bring the data back as expected.
If anybody has experienced this and can tell me whether this is a bug or is something I have setup incorrectly I would be most grateful.
Thanks in Advance
Andy

Can you quantify "different format"? I'm hard-pressed to imagine how many ways character data can be formatted.
Note that since Oracle 8.0.4 was desupported long ago, I'd strongly recommend upgrading at least to 8.0.6 and preferrably to 8i. If there is a bug at fault, you won't get a fix in 8.0.4.

Windows 2008 Server License Key not working on VirtualBox

I have a validated licensed copy of Windows 2008 Server and I need to load it on a Virtual machine (I am running Oracle VirtualBox). When I had the server running on a hardware based server it worked fine. The license key activated and it worked. Now when
I load it onto the VirtualBox solution it fails. It will take it when I run the manual command but will not show my server as activated. This is for my private use only (internal home LAN) but I would prefer to have the activation be correct since I use this
setup to help keep fresh on Windows 2008 servers while being on a Linux OS with a VM software loaded. What can I do to have this server activate correctly under the VirtualBox?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Base on my experience, after we convert a physical computer system to virtualize environment we need to reactive it, with MAK active method we need keep this vm to connect to
internet and with KMS method please confirm this vm can communicate with your KMS 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:

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).

Problem with update SCCM client to Sp1 CU3 on Windows 2008 server

Hi all,
I have problem with update SCCM client on Windows 2008 Server to 2012 Sp1 CU3. I have sent to deployment package with update (SP1 Cumulative Update 3 - server update) on four servers and after few minutes I have got in Monitoring\Deployment details four

USER Message ID
Status type Description
NT\AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 1006
Error 3003
I love that types of error... which is har to find answer on google :-( I have tried but I haven't find any constructive :-( Did you met with something similar? Which log I should check (sorry - I'm still noob in SCCM2012) to update actual SCCM Client SP1
(5.00.7804.1000) to SP1 CU3 (5.00.7804.1400)?
Thank you.

I see in fodler with CU3 updates, are four packages:
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x64 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x86 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - server update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - console update
It will be stupid but... maybe I should deploy x64 client update package?
