Mac Pro Server as Windows Server

Three questions:
1. Can a Mac Pro Server be used as a Windows Server - i.e. just need the hardware?
2. Does Windows need to tun on top of Mac software?
3. If not, will Windows have an issue with the drivers for the hardware?
Thanks,
Pieter.

1. Can a Mac Pro Server be used as a Windows Server - i.e. just need the hardware?
If you have a Mac running Mac OS X Server, you already have a Server capable of supporting Windows clients very nicely indeed. (it can support Mac OS X clients as well). No additional license fees are required. The feature set is very rich.
If instead, you are intent on tossing out Mac OS X software and running Windows or Windows Server, you could do that as well.
If instead, you are intent on running Windows Server Virtualized, I expect you can do that as well.
Drivers for adapting Windows to Mac Hardware are included in Boot Camp software.

  • Printing on kyocera's printers wiht acrobat pro XI on windows server 2008 R2

    hello there,
    Most of our users work
    from a TSE server with windows server 2008 R2.
    Since we installed acrobat pro XI, it is impossible to print on all our Kyocera printers.
    We also use HP, Konica Lexmarlk printers without problems.
    Do you have a solution?
    Thank for your advices.

    Hi Jeffery,
    Thank you for your comment.
    Yeah, you can use universal print driver by configuring Remote Desktop Easy print on RDS Server. Install the driver on RDS server. Now to configure Easy print you need to have minimum client RDP 6.1(But suggest you to install RDP 8.1), .Net Framework 3.5 or
    above and RDSH role.
    Also under GPO setting need to check below settings.
    Do not allow client print redirection: Disable 
    Use Terminal Service Easy print printer driver first: Enable 
    Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer redirection
    For more information, you can refer below articles.

    Hello there-
    I'm trying to install InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT (x64) Edition, however, we get a failure indication on the installer. Before, we have installed it properly on Windows Server 2008 R2 32BIT (x32) but some how we cannot proceed on a x64 box.
    Is there any limitation on this sense? Any documentation about it?

    larger than 30 MB. This is a default limitation of IIS. You can increase the maximum file size by
    setting the parameter maxAllowedContentLength in the file ApplicationHost.config.
    The following command can be used to set the parameter from the command prompt, please
    change the directory to Windows\System32\inetserv and then execute the command.
    appcmd setconfig /section:requestFiltering/requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:150000000
    The value is only an example, in this case the upload limit is set to 150MB.Server has to be restarted
    after execution of this command.
    Also, are you using Maxdb to store the files or is it a "flat files" content server  ?

    You most likely skipped the step of starting the installed server prior to trying to access admin URL. Please check this document:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1830-10/win.html
    Relevant section is:
    You can start the Administration Server in either of the following ways:
    # Select Start Menu -> Programs -> Sun ONE Web Server, and choose Start Web Server Administration Server.
    # From the Control Panel�s Services item.

  • Installing Sun Directory Server on Windows Server 2008

    Has anyone tried installing Sun Java System Directory Server in Windows Server 2008? I am trying to do this but get an error stating that nss3.dll is missing at configuration time.

    Windows 2008 is not a supported platform for any DSEE release. Even if you get it working, Sun Support won't be able to help if you have issues.
    This issue seems to have been reported on Windows 2000 with DSEE 6.0 too and one workaround is to remove the nss3.dll from c:\winnt\system32 or equivalent directory. Please note this workaround is not targeted at Windows 2008, so use at your own risk.

  • I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

    I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

    In the app-server-ant.xml file, as indiacted in the error message i am getting, at line 145 it is suppose to get the path to \bin\asadmin.bat from the value of a paramater called 'asadmin'. This value is being set in the beginning of the file.
    The parameter value of 'asadmin' is further referring to value of another parameter called 'javaee.home' which is being set in tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/bp-project/build.properties
    I have checked the values of both these parameters and they are set correctly, so since it is still giving me problems, at line 145 i hard coded the path instead of the parameter name:
    I replaced line
    <exec executable="${asadmin}" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
    with
    <exec executable="c:/sun/appserver/bin/asadmin.bat" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
    This works.

  • Problems printing to printers connected to a MAC pro from a Windows Laptop

    Folks,
    I got a MAC PRO a couple of weeks ago and I have two USB printers (an EPSON CX 4200 and a CANON S900 connected to it).
    I tried both Ifelix's procedures to add the printers connected to the MAC and I had problems with both procedures.
    If I try the http://mac-ip:631/printers/printer-name I am successful in adding the printer to the Laptop running windows XP however when I try to send something to that printer the job goes straight to the "completed" queue on the MAC and nothing prints at all. I used the respective windows drivers for each printer on the XP Laptop.
    I spent two hours with Apple support on the phone and they could not figure out what was going on and suggested that I post my issue to this forum to see if anybody has any ideas.
    I also tried to configure the printers using Bonjour (as per Ifelix's documented method) but at some point during the printer setup I get an error message indicating that I do not have "sufficient access" to install the printer driver even though I am logged in as admin on the windows XP computer.
    Has abybody experienced similar pain? Is anybody here being able to print to printers connected to a MAC PRO from a Windows XP laptop?
    I should also say that my computers are in a network and both are connected to a Linksys Wireless Access point/router.
    The Laptop is a wireless laptop and the mac pro is conneced to the linksys router via a regular network cable.
    Also, I have no issues printing straight from the mac to both printers.
    Would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    regards,
    marcelo

    What risks does that imply?
    Well, it implies that the battery is not user serviceable, which it is not. However, your warranty has already been effectively voided by the spill. So, you don't have that much to lose. As I already said though, there are risks inherent in cleaning any electronic equipment with any sort of liquid. The safer route is definitely to take the machine in for repair, as eww says.
    And for the Q-tips, when I opened the machine, it seemed really complicated to unmount or access parts with Q-tips.
    Unfortunately, it is complicated. It's not something to undertake unless you are comfortable with it. And it can never be guaranteed that it will actually be clean because there are many spaces that you'll never be able to clean. I should perhaps emphasize that I would only clean the machine myself if there was no chance of being able to pay for repairs. It is sort of a last-ditch option to attempt to avoid the cost of repairs. Nothing is guaranteed though and you may have to pay for repairs anyway.
    Wouldn't it be better to just let it bath in the distilled water, wait a few minutes and then let it dry?
    Definitely not. If you do that you can forget about the machine ever working again, at all.
    do you think there is hope that once cleaned, everything would work again ?
    It is doubtful. Like I said, if paying for repairs are not an option, then you should consider at least attempting to clean it. Otherwise, you should have the top case replaced (new keyboard and trackpad).

  • How to Migrate windows 2008r2 RDS server to Windows server 2012r2 RDS

    Hi, I want to migrate our 2008r2 RD server + Cals to windows server 2012r2 server, the user will still connect to 2008r2 server but the server hosting the license will be migrated to a 2012r2 server. Currently I have 2 servers that users can connect
    to that are served by the 2008r2 RDS (the server I'm converting is just hosting the license) the server user connect to point to this license server. How do I proceed to migrate, I'm searching for documentation but I can't find much, I found that I can only
    convert to 2012r2 from 2012 or better OS, so I installing a temporary 2012 server to do a double migration seem to be the best course of action but I can't find any documentation on how to Migrate the Remote Desktop Services Role Services from 2008r2 to Windows
    Server 2012.
    Also I just discovered that this server is also hosting license for windows server 2003 terminal service. Will I be able to host these licences on 2012R2 ?
    Any pointer would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    It seems like migration the Remote Desktop Services Role Services from 2008r2 to Windows Server 2012 is not supported.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn479239.aspx
    So i think you may install and configure the RDS server on Windows Server 2012 and then migration to Windows Server 2012r2.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

  • Integrate On-Premises Exchange Server With Windows Server Essentials

    I have Exchange Server 2013 installed on Win Server 2012 R2 joined to Windows Server Essentials domain.  Attempting to integrate the Exchange Server into the Essentials domain from the Essentials Dashboard using the wizard fails with the error, "Cannot
    locate an Exchange Server on the network. Make sure that your Exchange Server is setup and that it is connected to the network".  I can communicate with the server in multiple ways from the Essentials Server and other computers on the domain.  Mail
    flow in and out of the Exchange Server works without issue.  I can use the various management tools to administer the Exchange Server.  The only task I cannot complete is integrating it into the Essentials environment which I need to do to move on
    to creating user mailboxes for user accounts setup in AD.
    All research to date has come up empty handed.
    Help!

    Hi RSUL,
    Any update?
    On current situation, would you please let me confirm something more? It may help me to understand this issue
    clearly.
    Would you please let me know how join the Windows Server 2012 R2 (which had been installed Exchange Server 2013) to Windows Server Essentials domain? Did use Connector software
    (type http://servername/connect)?
    On server essentials, please open Dashboard and navigate to DEVICES. Then check the Status of this server which had been installed Exchange Server 2013.
    Currently, the Services Integration features, including on-premises Exchange integration, are only supported in a single domain controller environment. Meanwhile, the integration
    wizard must be run on a domain controller.
    In addition, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.
    On
    Premises Exchange Integration Windows Server 2012 Essentials
    Integrate an On-Premises Exchange Server
    with Windows Server Essentials
    By the way, please check Event Viewer and some relevant logs if you can find some more clues.
    Hope this helps.
