Please help me to choose the right Windows Server 2012 edition

Dear All,
I will plan for new hardware for a University. I plan to have Windows Server 2012 network with upto 10,000 users. I will have Exchange, SharePoint and SQL Server as well.
Please advice on what Windows Edition I should select as well as # of CAL to be purchased.
I am expecting to have a Server of 32GB of RAM, 12TB of hard disk. I will take advantage of HyperV to setup Database server, sharePoint and Exchange
Thank

Please, help me to choose the right router

Hello,
For our new small business company's office we need a router, which simultaneously satisfies all of the following conditions:
- 4 (or 8) ethernet gigabit ports;
- Wireless N;
- Easy VPN connection via Windows VPN Client';
- Wake On LAN capability
Is there a model, that have all of this? Thank You!

Hi Danail,
You can have RV042G or RV320 or RV082.
RV042G and RV320 has four Gbit ports. RV082 has eight fast ethernet ports. For Easy VPN client connection you can use Cisco Quick VPN software. You can download the Quick VPN client software from Cisco.com.
Please refer to the datasheet below to know more about each of the product.

Please help me to choose the correct version for my needs

Hi. Currently we have an ESXi server with 2 virtualized windows server 2012 standard edition. I want to setup a new server. His role will only be WDS. The server will have to be a domain controler in order to use WDS or is it not necessary ? If not could
i choose a foundation edition ? I must be able to deploy until 30 images at the same time. Thank you.

WDS has an option to be installed on a domain controller but it does not have to be a domain controller. It makes sense to have it as a member of a domain.

Download the Evaluation: Windows Server 2012 R2 product key

Where do you obtain the product key information?
for the .iso download version to be functional

Hi Marz,
You can download Win2012 R2 from mentioned link
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-server-2012-r2/default.aspx#fbid=kyb2VoUOHw-
http://blogs.technet.com/b/firehose/archive/2013/06/25/system-center-2012-r2-now-available-for-download.aspx
and key is provided in mentioned link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx
I have already downloaded it and checked it, it is working fine without issue.
If you have installed Evaulation version and unable to use KMS key then Try mentioned link, it is very helpful

http://workinghardinit.wordpress.com/tag/windows-server-2012-r2/
Steps are
1. check Current Edition
DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition
2. Check Target Edition
DISM /online /Get-TargetEditions
3.
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:D2N9P-3P6X9-2R39C-7RTCD-MDVJX /AcceptEula
or
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerDatacenter /ProductKey:W3GGN-FT8W3-Y4M27-J84CP-Q3VJ9 /AcceptEula
Now you can install the new Windows 2012 R2 KMS key. If you run in to any issues here, restarting the KMS Service can help (("net stop sppsvc" and "net start sppsvc") . Try that first.

There downside of it tho is that button resets as soon as you
move your mouse off
it. So it might have sudden jumps in your tween on roll out.
I would suggest use movie clip to start with and attach
button behaviors to it.

Please help me to choose the laptop.

I saaw a lot of models but i can't choose. I liked some models like HP ProBook 4730s(A6E93EA) or (A1E72EA) but in this series the ethernet port placed in such uncomfortable place. I need laptop in such price category. Can you help me to chose something like that laptop but with eth port in different place.

Where do you want the ethernet port? I hardly ever use mine because laptops are made to be used with wireless, but every now and then like in a hotel room you have to plug in. The ethernet port on the left side is pretty standard on most laptops these days. They used to put them in the back but that was not a good design because people would push them into a wall and break things. The HP Consumer models and most of their laptops have the ethernet port on the left side.

Please help me with choosing the Hardware for my new computer

I am creating a new editing machine that i will be using After effect, photoshop, flash, illustrator, and 3ds max. I do a lot of 3d and 2d animation, video editing and graphic design.
This is the system i am currently planing on building:
CPU: intel core i7 2600k ( I will be overclocking it to around 4.8 ghz)
Motherboard: Asrock p67 extreme6
Memory: G.Skill ripjaws x series 16gb ddr3 1600 cas latency 7
Graphics Card: Gtx 570
Power Supply: Rosewill bronze series 1000w
Hard drive: 4x Corsair F120 in raid 0
Case: Bitfenix collosus
Cpu cooler: Noctua Nh-d14
I have a budget of $2500 for this computer. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on things i should change or would recommend a completely different build for my budget.
Also i was wondering if the gtx 570 was a stupid choice and i should get a quadro 2000 instead. I dont do any gaming.
One last thing, do 4 ssd in raid 0 help at all or should i just get 8 hard drive in raid 10, or should i spend less money on hard drives.
P.S. I know that the the i7 2600k has been recalled but i am in no hurry to build this computer. Also feel free to recommend hardware that hasn't yet been released but will probably be out in the next 8 months.
P.S.S All of the programs i listed are CS5.

Agree with all from Todd, and some things I'd consider:
Dual CPUs will pack more rendering punch, especially in your 3D work.
Even though 16GB of RAM is generous, I'd consider more. Remember the rule: 2GB for each CPU core, plus some more for OS and other applications. If you're running 8 threads/cores for rendering, 24GB would be optimum.
While the hard drives will provide awesome performance in that config, it's a lot of money to spend on less than a terabyte of storage. RAID 0 is also pretty volatile, so be sure to run a reliable and regular backup system.
For my money, I'd probably use one good-sized SSD for a system drive, then 3 or 4 conventional (or hybrid SSD) drives for media storage, with a decent RAID controller. You'll get 3 times the storage for half the price, and still have quite zippy I/O speeds.

Please Help me to Choose the best config to run forms on web

Hi,
I have started upgrading my application from Dev2000 1.3 to Dev2000 6i in order to deploy on web. I have few questions to ask
1. I need to know which config is the best & fast to run my applications out of
     1. Applet
     2. IE50Native
     3. JInitiator
2. For testing I have configured forms server in socket mode. When I am using JInitiator even after exiting the application from test terminal, "ifweb60.exe" process initiated due to this session remains running. It takes long time when I try to initiate the same application for second time. This problem is not frequent, but this has happened 4 times while testing. Could this be due to Pentium4.
Thanks in advance

Is it ok if i develop according to this model , or is it better to use Entity Beans for data acccess ?Neither. Use POJOs. What are EJBs buying you?
Is it a bad design to use Session Beans for data accessing ?Why?
Or else , what if i avoid EJB s completely and database access is done via JSP itself ?Ouch, no. JSPs are for presentation only.
Or i have another option , that is , using JSP for the presentation layer and Servlets for database accessing.Wrong again.

Windows Server 2012 R2 NIC Teaming and DHCP Issue

Came across a weird issue today during a server deployment. I was doing a physical server deployment and got Windows installed and was getting ready to connect it to our network. Before connecting the Ethernet cables to the network adapters, I created a
NIC Team using Windows Server 2012 R2 built-in software with a static IP address (we'll say its 192.168.1.56). Once I plugged in the Ethernet cables, I got network access but was unable to join our domain. At this time, I deleted the NIC team and the two network
adapters got their own IP addresses issued from DHCP (192.168.1.57 and 192.168.1.58) and at this point I was able to join our domain. I recreated the NIC team and set a new static IP (192.168.1.57) and everything was working great as intended.
My issue is when I went into DHCP I noticed a random entry that was using the IP address I used for the first NIC teaming attempt (192.168.1.56), before I joined it to the domain. I call this a random entry because it is using the last 8 characters of the
MAC address as the hostname instead of the servers hostname.
It seems when I deleted the first NIC team I created (192.168.1.56), a random MAC address Server 2012 R2 generated for the team has remained embedded in the system. The IP address is still pingable even though an ipconfig /all shows the current NIC team
with the IP 192.168.1.57. There is no IP address of 192.168.1.56 configured on the current server and I have static IPs set yet it is still pingable and registering with DHCP.
I know this is slightly confusing but I am hoping someone else has encountered this issue and may be able to tell me how to fix this. Simply deleting the DHCP entry does not do the trick, it comes back.

Hi,
Please confirm you have choose the right NIC team type, If you’ve previously configured NIC teaming, you’re aware NIC teams usually require the assistance of network-side
protocols. Prior to Windows 2012, using a NIC team on a server also meant enabling protocols like EtherChannel or LACP (also known as 802.1ax or 802.3ad) on network ports.
More information:

VMs per Windows Server 2012 Std License?

Hello All,
Can anybody help me please? I have a question in Windows Server 2012 Std License.
1. If I have 2 Windows 2012 STD Licenses ( 2 CPUs) howmany VMs ( Windows 2012 Server OS installed) can I have on the same Physical Server?
2. Can we assign more than 1 license to a host?
3. If the limit is 4 VMs( 4 Windows server 2012 Std VMs) can we have more/other VMs ( like Linux) in-addition to 4 eligible VMs?
Thanks in advance,
Sudhir

In the Hyper-V world, virtual machines are not licensed. Microsoft does not require that you purchase a license for a virtual machine, ever.
Microsoft does require that you purchase a license in order to run a virtual instance of Windows, always. So, if you have 3 virtual instances of Windows Server Standard, then you need to purchase two Windows Server Standard licenses for the host, because
each license allows for up to two virtual instances of Windows Server Standard.
Since Microsoft does not require that you purchase a license for a virtual machine, they will not charge you to run non-Microsoft operating systems inside them. Whether or not you have to pay for a Linux virtual instance is entirely dependent
upon the licensing of that Linux distribution. Any checks you write for them wouldn't be to Microsoft, though.
This means that, yes, you can legally run an unlimited number of Linux guests on Hyper-V without paying additional licensing fees to Microsoft. If you are using Hyper-V Server and have no Windows guests, you won't pay Microsoft anything. If you are using
Windows Server with Hyper-V and have no Windows guests, then you have to pay for a single host license but you won't pay Microsoft anything else.
In the scenario that you presented, the necessary Microsoft licensing for a dual-core host with WS12-Std installed, 3 WS12-Std guests, and any number of Linux guests will be covered by two WS12-Std licenses. You have one leftover WS12-Std instance that
you can legally run on that host.
