Is it possible to install Microsoft Storage Server on Cisco NSS 322?

As the NSS 322 doesn't seem to support Microsoft Offline files (I've been told by Cisco support that this is a "common problem" with network-attached storage devices, but I've got offline files working OK with a basic linux box, so I don't believe this to be true), can we install a copy of MS Storage Server 2008 on it instead? Anyone have any experience with this?

I spoke with several Cisco Reps who directed me to purchase these products:
1x Small Business Network Storage Server NSS322
2x Small Business Router SMB|RV042 4PORT RT (one for our two person office on the East Coast & one for our Rep on the West Coast)
I was told this is what I needed to buy from Cisco to run:
Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008
Quick Books Enterprise
Can you tell me if:
1. I am suppose to install SBS2008 via a portable DVD drive on the NSS322, or if I have to work around this as outlined here:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/datacenter/two-ways-to-circumvent-the-dvd-drive-requirement-for-installing-windows-server-2008/324
2. If I have been misguided in my purchase & SBS2008 can not be run from the server I purchased from Cisco?
3.If I have not purchased the correct item from Cisco, which item should I purchase to run SBS2008 & QuickBooks?
I can not get in touch with a Cisco Rep at this moment b.c. of a technical issue... yikes!
Please advise, as I have little time to start setting up.

    check out is there any watermark key in the registry - A watermark in the registry identifies where Setup failed. You will not have to answer the Exchange 2010 Setup wizard questions again when you resume a failed Setup. You can resume the failed install,
    and let it succeed.

  • Unable to install microsoft sql server management studio 2008 express

    When i install management studio 2008 express, throws an error stating that "SQL server 2008 Setup reqiures Microsoft .NET framework from http:.... and then rerun setup.
    Can any body help me in this, and also i have installed .NET framework 3.5.
    Thanks.

    Hi sivak_tamilan,
    According to your description, we need to verify if you install and enable the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, it is a prerequisite for SQL Server 2008 standalone instance.
    In the setup, the SP-bit must be set to “1″, you can do as follows:
    Open the registry editor and browse to the key,
    Then locate the value SP, double-click it and change it from zero to”1”.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5
    There is a similar issue about this error, you can review the following article.
    http://www.undermyhat.org/blog/2011/03/resolved-microsoft-sql-server-2008-setup-requires-microsoft-net-framework-3-5-sp1-to-be-installed/
    In addition, if you install SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8, you must make sure that you fulfill the minimum requirements. For example, you must apply SQL Server 2008 Service Pack
    3 or a later update.

  • Microsoft Terminal Server needs Cisco layer of authentication

    We are running Microsoft terminal services.  We connect to our main office using the Microsoft remote desktop client. We insert the fixed public IP address of our server in the remote desktop client. That remote desktop client then connects to terminal services and the user is queried for a user name and password. We would like to add a Cisco solution that would put an additional query for a Cisco device authenticated username and password before the Microsoft Terminal Server authentication box for user name and passwords appears...Seeking guidance on which Cisco hardware we could purchase for this purchase and what feature of that purchase would be configured to allow for accomplishment of security goal.
    thankyou.

    Lew: I suggest you post same question in Microsoft Forums.
    I am not fully aware how microsoft server will query cisco auth server (ACS for example). But in microsoft forums they might be able to help better.
    If they reply with something please share it with us here for general knowledge.

  • SIP trunking between Microsoft OCS server and Cisco Voice GW router.

    Hello All,
    I have a client with an existing Microsoft OCS (office communications server) environment with the OCS server in their head office. The OCS clients in the remote Office registers with the OCS server in the head office. The WAN connectivity between the remote office and the Head office is MPLS.I would like to facilitate local call (PSTN) features at the remote site through a newly proposed Voice gateway router.
    Can I achieve this by doing a SIP trunk between the OCS server in the head office to the newly proposed voice GW router in the remote office through the existing MPLS link. If yes, Could any one please assist me in this regards or suggest any other best solution to achieve the same.
    Thank you in advance,
    Mohammed Ameen R

    Hi David,
    this is a normal behaviour. To CUCM, OCS is a remote destination (just like your mobile phone). When your mobile phone hangs up, the system will put the call on hold for 10 sec.
    This is there for the mobile user to go to his desk to pick up the call and continue the conversation (part of single number reach feature)
    The best practise will be for the user to ensure that the other party hangs up the call first before he hang up.
    Please grade if you think it's useful =)

  • Microsoft Exchange Server on Mac OS X Server

    I am running Mac OS X Leopard Server on my Mac Pro with multiple clients, all using Mac OS X Leopard. Each client also has Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac installed with Entourage. Is it possible to install Microsoft Exchange Server on the Mac Pro and use it to set up calendaring for all of my Mac clients through Entourage?

    Hi Benjamin,
    Apologies for Jeff's rather useless answer.
    You can absolutely install Microsoft Exchange on a Mac Pro server to accompany OS X Server.
    Head over to VMware, Parallels or Oracle and grab a virtualisation hypervisor. I personally recommend VMware ESXi. 
    Setup a Virtual Machine running a copy of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. (More information here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-server-2012-r2/buy.aspx#fbid=f4pyYTvvgji and here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/microsoft-exchange-server-2013-business-email-email-server-try-now-FX103765014.aspx)
    If you would rather not involve yourself with all the fuss involved with maintaining Microsoft Exchange, head over to Microsoft Office's website and Subscribe to Office 365 for Business. If you would rather not work with Microsoft at all, head over to Google
    and setup Google Apps.
    Thanks,
    Will

  • Microsoft SQL Server Express LocalDB / Windows Azure Powershell install fail - SQL writer failed to start

    I'm trying to install Windows Azure PowerShell on my Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise laptop. As a prerequisite, it needs to install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB, I but keep receiving an error:
    Service 'SQL Server VSS Writer' (SQLWriter) failed to start. Verify that you have
    sufficient privileges to start system services.
    The service that it tries to use by default is the Local Service. I verified that it has log on as a service privileges and even did a restart. Same error.
    any ideas?
    Cross posted in Windows
    Azure

    Hi ,
    According to your description, when you install SQL Server 2012 Local DB , it encounter the error about SQLWriter. We need to verify if you invoke SQLLOcalDB.msi directly, and check
    MSSQL service is running and other service’s status.In addition, you can go to event viewer and check the error logs for analysis.
    There is a similar issue about Service SQL Server VSS Writer and troubleshooting SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB, you can review the following article.

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup - Active Directory Topology service on server 'TopologyClientTcpEndpoint (localhost)' returned an error - Set-SharedConfigDC

    What am I trying to do?
    I have tried installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup on a fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2 but it gets stuck when running the setup exe on Step 8 of 14 “Mailbox Transport Service” I have included full
    error logs at the bottom of the page but the basics are in order it will throw which loop around are:
    [01/20/2015 17:13:20.0084] [2] Beginning processing Set-SharedConfigDC

    Exchange is currently running in the envirmonet on 2010 Sp3 I am installing 2013 CU7 fresh so I can migrate the databases over.
    What am I running?
    2 X DC on domain and forest functional level 2008R2 both writable
    1 X fresh install of Windows 2012 R2 which is domain joined
    What have I tried?
    Checked Ipv6 is enabled on all DC NICS and Existing Exchange Servers
    Rebooted every server
    Run setup as Administrator
    My account is part of the domain Enterprise Admin group
    Tried adding "Exchange Server" or "Exchange Enterprise Servers" to the group policy and doing the relevant gpupdate /force and reboot :
    Computer Configuration Windows Settings
    Security Settings + Local Policies
    User Rights Assignment Mange auditing and security log
    Turned off firewall on DC and Exchange Server even stopped the service
    Turned off all AV on the DC and Exchange Server
    Checked I could telnet to global catalog servers on port 3268 which I can
    Checked the global catalog records existed in DNS which they all do
    Done the obvious ping tests all round which confirms connectivity
    Schema has been prepared using appropriate commands before running the setup exe
    setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    Making sure the following path has full permissions:
    EXCHANGE14:\Current\Release\Shared\Datacenter\Setup
    Restarted Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service
    DcDiag all looks good
    What have I noticed that is suspicious?
    Microsoft Exchange Transport service will not start even though both of its dependences services have started:
    Microsoft Filtering Management Service
    Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
    It will eventually error with
    “Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service on local computer

  • Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

    Hello,
    We have install Windows storage server 2008 R2 and now we received a request to install SP1 on the server.
    So can we install SP1 on Windows storage server 2008 R2?
    Server manufacture is- IBM
    Also please send the download/setup link.
    Thanks,
    Rajendra

    Thanks for reply...
    But above patch is applicable for below OS.. but we need SP1 patch for Windows storage
    server 2008 R2.
    Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
    Windows Storage Server is provided as an OEM product (bundled with server/storage hardware).
    You should confirm with the OEM, that SP1 is supported by the OEM and if there are any hardware-specific steps or firmware or related packages necessary.
    In your example, contact IBM for specific advice.
