Need a server for ...?

My old server (2004) died and I needed another one, so I got a dual Xeon E5620 with 16 GB memory and used disks from the old server. No problem, but ...
I no longer installed Windows Server 2008 but opted for ESXi 5.1
It installed in minutes on a simple USB stick (no boot disk required, I could have installed it on a 2 GB stick but only had a 4 GB stick at hand), the disks were reformatted to VMFS and everything was running in a couple of hours, including the transfer of Active Directory and related stuff. This is a solution that may appeal to others as well. I can now manage my Exchange Server, File Server, Print Server or whatever other virtual server I have from my phone, an internet café or whatever from around the globe. It almost beats Adobe-Anywhere.

You are right Harm, it is amazing
I installed one at work on a big Dell RX720 server and we have already 4 different virtual machines / servers on it, and that's on the free of charge version, which supports up to 32 GB RAM.
By the way Harm, do you know anything about Adobe Anywhere pricing and awaylability?
Thanks.

  • What do I need J2EE server for ?

    Hi
    Can you please help me create a complite list of all components that needs J2EE server.

    There are a lot of functionality that are in the "grey area".  For example, SAP BI runs perfectly fine as AS-ABAP only but there are some functionality that require AS-JAVA.  Your best bet is to find out what application / functionality you require from SAP, then research to see if what you are after requires AS-ABAP and/or AS-JAVA.

  • Simple file server accessible remotely with managed access. Do I need ML Server for this?

    Hello,
    I have a  Mac Mini that will be dedicated to serving 15 folders of documents to 7 people. It would be great if each person had their own password and I'd like to be able to decide what folders each user will have access to. The people need to be able to access the files from home and on the office network.
    Do I NEED to run OS X server for this Or can i accomplish this in OS X?
    I have to get this running quickly and I may not have time for the ML Server learning curve (even though it has been simplified).
    I tried to get ML server running on my machine a few weeks ago but got stuck. If setting up ML server with JUST the file server is dramatically easier I will try again. Can anyone please suggest a tutorial that takes me through simply setting up a remotely accessible file server with managed access with ML Server?

    OS X client can serve files to remote clients, via both SMB/CIFS and AFS; via the Windows and OS X fiel services.  That's cheap, uses hardware you already have, and works fine.
    Most NAS boxes don't do distributed authentication.  Typically, you have credentials for the box at most.  Some of the mid- and upper-end boxes do offer distributed authentication, but that means having that authentication around.  At the low end, an Apple Time Capsule is a reasonable NAS box, and you can add an external disk.   And can be used for backups via Time Machine, too.  The mid- and upper-end boxes from Synology have a reputation for capabilities and flexibility.  There are (many) other vendors.
    I'm not a huge fan of LogMeIn for various reasons that I won't get into here, but that service does work for accessing hosts.  I don't know if that allows access to NAS directly, but I'd tend to doubt it.  You'd need to check with both LogMeIn and with the specs for whatever NAS box you're using.  
    Given the choice, I'd use a VPN.
    Using a VPN does mean you can control — at the VPN level — who can access your private network, so that can provide a broad-brush form of access control to your NAS device or your OS X client or your OS X Server box, if you go that route.
    I don't prefer to openly serve files to the internet, as the underlying protocols have occasionally had security issues and vulnerabilities, and the internet gremlins will find and will poke at any open ports and any accessible file servers.  I prefer to configure these services via VPN.
    VPNs are also more involved to set up, where LogMeIn can be simple.
    As mentioned previously, I'm also not a huge fan of the host-based VPN servers in OS X, though those do work.  The gateway boxes I've been using in the last year or so are probably not a good choice for a user that isn't familiar with networking  — the boxes provide a user interface that very definitely expect the user to understand IP and routing and related, but is both self-consistent and quite powerful — and they're cheap for what they can do, and they do work nicely.  ZyXEL ZyWALL USG series.  If you are evaluating any of these firewall boxes, then I'd definitely encourage downloading the manuals and making sure you can understand the available information.  The server-grade firewall boxes are almost inherently flexible and thus complex devices.
    One of the easiest ways is to work with somebody that does this sort of thing to sort through the options and requirements and trade-offs available here, and potentially to set up your VPN or NAS or server configuration for you.  (Disclosure: I offer this.)

  • Need caring server for Oracle XE

    My apologies if this is an inappropriate question or the wrong place to ask it.
    I'm a small company that would like to showcase some APEX applications and need a secure and accessible server to be able to do this.
    Does anyone have any experience with companies that provide leased dedicated servers that allow installing Oracle XE (or proper 10g) on it ? I've tried one and they were not very helpful. Their server was very instable and sometimes refused to reboot even when no changes had taken place yet ! I'm looking for a minimal spec'ed Linux server that will allow me to (safely) install Oracle. Speed and bandwidth are not critical but should not be too restrictive either. I'm based in the UK so this may restrict the choice of providers. Before anybody asks, I have considered hosting my own web/database server from home but my broadband connection is only 512Kbps here and not fast enough to serve my customers.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Are there any examples that do not require a personal webserver?  I do not need a server for my aps.

    Back when Cirrus was Stratus, there was no need for a personal webserver to host a CGI script.
    I have no need for a non AS3 server because my server is simply going to be another peer node on the network
    It is a professional way to handle things too:
    1) You have a computer with a static IP that computers refer to as the master peer(yes wordplay).
    2)If you can't afford a computer with a static IP, you can simply create a peer that responds to requests,"Are you the server?"  Yes, this is easily hackable, but when you're debugging, your friends aren't gonna be jerks.
    All I want when I contact Cirrus is:
    1) A list of IP addresses of connected peers.
    And if someone has example code:
    2) The ability to send "Hello World" to all peers.
    Is this doable in Cirrus?  Stratus could do it.

    the only difference between "Stratus" and "Cirrus (codename)" is the name.
    Cirrus has never had a "list connected peers" function, nor has it ever reported IP addresses/port numbers of connected peers in ActionScript.
    the VideoPhoneLabs example program has always required some kind of external registration service to register a peer ID for a name, and to look up the peer ID for a name.
    it's possible to do P2P with Cirrus and no active web server by using RTMFP Groups (NetGroup, GroupSpecifier and friends). i have posted examples from my labs at MAX from years past that implement text chat and other functions using only Cirrus. and you can do P2P with groups on a LAN with no server at all (not even Cirrus).  see this thread:
       http://forums.adobe.com/thread/766959
    for links to my lab materials from MAX 2009 and 2010. and come to my session at MAX this year where i'll be covering "Advanced P2P With RTMFP: Tips & Tricks".

  • FIori Application on Portal, does we need gateway server?

    Hi All
    My company starting SAP FIORI implementation.
    Upgradation of gateway server on 740 going on.
    Also
    same time upgrading Portal from 7.0 to 740.
    Also
    i heard about FLP on EP.
    So
    My question
    1) it is possible to implement SAP FIORi apps on portal? (might be yes)
    So
    2) Does we need gateway server for this?
    How it will work..
    Tags edited by: Michael Appleby

    i gone through
    How to integrate SAP Fiori apps into your Mobile Portal
    seems need gateway server.
    but quite confusing...
    if SAP provide ESS MSS (sca) packages for Portal.
    Why not sca file for SAP FIORI apps. so not need gateway server.
    might be for security resion.

  • I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding."  I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

  • I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

    I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
    Thanks

    You are mixing up a couple of things here.
    The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
    If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
    You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
    There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
    Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
    Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
    You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

  • Help... I need help to install a server for my form to run on web

    Hi there,
    I installed a New server with Windows 2003.
    I have some oracle forms developed using 6i, I don't mind to convert them later.
    What other oracle 10g software I need to install to have my oracle forms and reports to run on web?
    I tried to install in this sequence but not working:-
    1- windows 2003
    2- IIS
    3- Oracle Developer Suite
    Then I removed IIS and installed the Oracle SOA Application server also still cannot.
    What did I do wrong or what should I install (I meant by sequence?)
    Please advise.
    Thank you

    Why installing IIS o_O?
    For Installing a developer Machine just install Oracle Developer suite; for testing your forms you use OC4J ("start OC4J instance" in start menu), and you can run your forms in web; no need for a aditional webserver (don't believe there's an OC4J connector for IIS available; and if so I wouldn't use it either ;-))
    For Installing a server for "productional" use install Oracle Application Server (available on otn) which comes with an Apache as webserver and all the other needful things for runnung forms on the web.
    For configuring both of them just take a look at the documentations on http://otn.oracle.com

  • Project Server 2010 Resource Assigments - Need a license for every Resource?

    I am trying to determine the requirements for Project Server 2010 licenses.
    In Project Server 2010, I need to add resources to the pool, then assign a resource to a project task.  The task will be maintained/statused through a manager, not the resource.  
    Does that resource need to have a Project Server license even if the resource never accesses Project Server even through PWA?

    Hi JenKranich,
    You need licences only for users that will access
    Project Server data by any means :
    MS Project Pro, Sharepoint sites and/or
    PWA.
    But resources not associated with users are not "real person" accessing data but just informal entity, thus no need for licences for those resources.
    It is important to note that if those resources can access the SharePoint site, since it contains Project Server data (risks, issues, deliverables), then they DO need a licence.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need help w/ setting up ports to run a server for America's Army

    Need help w/ setting up ports to run a server for America's Army. I read wat u need to change the ports but i dont understand wat to put. here is wat the site says
    Q: How do I run my own server?
    A: Quick and dirty server info:
    1. Edit RunServer.bat to change the map.
    2. Run RunServer.bat
    Or:
    server.exe LAN MAPNAME.aao (Host a LAN game)
    server.exe global MAPNAME.aao (Host a Public game)
    Also: When you create a server setup and want to allow other users to join your server, you need make sure the following ports are open for outgoing and incoming traffic in your firewall: 1716 (UDP), 1717 (UDP), 20025-20045 (TCP), and 20047 (TCP). Failure to open these ports will prevent the server from accepting connections from other players or prevent other players from being able to see your server online.
    There are several settings that also need to be defined in your server configuration INI file (in the Windows version, these files are located in “My Documents\America’s Army Server Settings\{settings file name}.ini”).
    [Engine.GameEngine]
    ServerActors=Andromeda.AndromedaMBS
    [Andromeda.Andromeda]
    GameServerIp=
    Make sure that you set the actual IP address of the America’s Army Server under GameServerIp= (for example, “GameServerIp=000.000.000.000”). The supplied address must be your actual internet IP address, if this is left blank or you supply the IP address for your internal network (such as 192.168.0.x), your server will not be able to accept connections from the internet.
    If your server.ini file contains the setting shown below, please change the QueryPort setting to 20025. This setting can also be removed, as the default setting is port 20025.
    [Andromeda.AndromedaMBS]
    QueryPort=20025
    Punkbuster user fix correction.
    If [Engine.GameEngine] block has been changed to read as below:
    [Engine.GameEngine]
    ServerActors=IPDrv.AndromedaMBS
    Please add the following block to your INI file:
    [IpDrv.AndromedaMBS]
    QueryPort=20025

    Your images are not stored in the catalog. They are stored in folders on your computer. If you imported images that were already on your computer using the "Add" Option they are still in that same folder. If you imported images from your camera then they are in the folders that you specified when you imported. The catalog points to those images wherever they are located, and records all of the adjustments that you make to the image. When you send an image to Photoshop for further editing and save that image in Photoshop, it is normally saved back in the same folder as the original image.
    Images are not "saved" in Lightroom. The basic default workflow in Lightroom is to store all of the adjustments in the catalog, leaving the original image completely unmodified. The catalog becomes the central controlling mechanism. It is a database that contains pointers to where the images are located and a record of all adjustments made to those images using Lightroom. Properly managed, you only have those original master files and secondary files for the ones that you have sent to Photoshop for further adjustment. When you want to provide a copy for someone else, you use the export dialogue for that purpose. I often export JPEG images to share with others or to post on the web. After I have usedthe JPEG for its intended purpose I delete it.

  • Do I need to run local DNS server for NAT/DHCP to work?

    Hello,
    I'm coming across all kinds of explanations how to set up a server for public access, having a static IP and a pointed domain, but I have a dynamic public IP and don't need the server to be accessible through a domain name. I just want all the computers in my office to connect to the web over 1 cable connection. I've used Gateway Setup Assistant to set up NAT and DHCP and DNS and what not, but it didn't work out of the box. After some bootpd.plist fixes I now have DHCP working, it's handing out IP addresses, but all LAN connected machines cannot get onto the web, only the server can.
    What am I doing wrong? Should I configure my DNS server differently? Or should it not be on at all, couldn't the local machines use my ISP's DNS servers?
    Currently DNS is configured like this:
    Settings are:
    accept recursive queries from the following networks: localnets
    forwarder IP addresses: (empty)
    Zones are:
    private. primary zone
    134.23.24.in-addr.arpa. reverse zone

    Though still a valid question for others I guess, I got my DNS working. The network preferences didn't have external DNS servers configured for the local network interface.

  • Why we need SSL Certificates for configuring App Server in Sharepoint

    Hi Support,
    We are planning to have a separate server for Apps, while configuring the server its asking for certificate. The main scenario is while configuring server inside the same firewall why we need SSL for configuring.
    Could you please let me know the reason why we need SSL for configuring App Server.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Pradeep

    Hi  Pradeep,
    SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a transaction security standard that provides encrypted protection between browsers and App Servers. When SSL is enabled for an App Server, browsers communicate with the App
    Server by means of an HTTPS connection, which is HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer. HTTPS connections are widely used by banks and web vendors for secure transactions over the web.
    Secure Sockets Layer  is a requirement for web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server authentication and app authentication. This is such a scenario. As a prerequisite
    for configuring Task Synchronization, the computer that is running SharePoint Server must have SSL configured.
