Requirements for managing Server Core

Hello,
What are the requirements for managing Server Core? We have a Windows 2008 functional level forest and domain and were thinking about installing 2012 server core servers but weren't sure we'd be able to manage them with 2008 server or Windows 7 tools.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,
To remotely manage a server in server core mode, we can use the following ways:
Remotely using Windows PowerShell
Remotely using Server Manager
Remotely using an MMC snap-in
Remotely with Remote Desktop Services
However, we can’t use server manager in Windows Server 2008 or in RSAT for Windows 7 to remotely manage Windows Server 2012 in server core mode. To
use server manager to remotely manage Windows Server 2012 in server core mode, we must use the version of Server Manager in Windows Server 2012 or that is available as part of the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 download package.
Regarding how to manage a Windows Server 2012 in server core mode, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

Hi Vijay,
If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

(Deployment) Minimum Software required for BUILD server and IIS WebServer

We have a simple .Net SDK application written using VB-2005 and the Crystal Reports XI (R2) DEVELOPER package.
The RPT files are posted on our BOE-XI (R2) server, and are called using the View-On-Demand method from the Page Server (similar to the SDK sample application). At some point in the future, our .Net applications may invoke some of the other SDK content types.
In our environment, the .NET web-applications are checked-in to Clear Case, and then sent to a stand-alone BUILD server to be compiled. The compiled .NET web-applications are then posted to a stand-alone IIS WebServer (not the IIS server that hosts BOE InfoView/CMC).
The BUILD server and IIS WebServer have to be as "stripped-down" as possible in order to go through our QAT and Impact Analysis process.
So far we have had success if we deploy the SDK-only install from the Crystal Reports XI (R2) DEVELOPER package, and the service packs, but it doesn't include all the SDK components for other BOE content types.
If we deploy the Client-only install from the BOE-XI (R2) package, and the service packs - it doesn't seem to include the CR-Viewer which we need. But it does includes a bunch of extra software (eg. UNIVERSE DESIGNER) on the desktop of the BUILD server and IIS WebServer that our QA guys don't like.
What are the Minimum Software required for BUILD server and IIS WebServer to support CR and BOE SDKs...?
Are there any install packages that contain JUST those components, and not all the extra software that is not needed to Build/Deploy in .NET...?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Due to the CrystalDecisions.web.dll for the 2.0 framework being left off the BOE CD you will need to install the Crystal XI R2 runtimes as well as the BOE SDK.
To get the BOE SDK launch the Enterprise XI R2 installer and choose Server Install - not Client Install. Choose a Custom install. You'll be presented with a drop down list for the Enterprise components. Deselect everything and then look for the Developer Components option. You may have to drill down into one of the levels to find it. Under Developer Components you'll see the BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK. Select it to install it.

Hi All,

The easiest way to find the Health report of server or workstation follow the below steps which is very much easiest way to get it done
There are a few ways to find this in Windows Server 2008.
First click “Start” and type “Generate a system health report”
Or second navigate your way to the Control Panel choose “System and Security” and choose “Generate a system health report”.
The last is to type “Generate a system health report” into the “Search Control Panel” box in the upper right hand corner of the Control Panel window.
Once armed with this data it’s easier to refute or acknowledge an issue is at hand.
BTW if you’re looking for this same thing in Windows 7 it’s there just buried a bit more.
Search Performance in the Start Menu, choose “Performance Information and Tools”, click “Advanced Tools” from the menu on the left, and finally choose “Generate a system
health report”.

Network requirements for SQL Server Replication

Hi,
Can any one tell me what is network requirements for SQL Server replication.
I have successfully configured the replication on LAN with active directory but I am unable to configure it on WAN.
Can anyone tell me how WAN can be configured for sql server replication.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Muhammad Imran

Hi Muhammad,
In addition to Prashanth’s post, please also check the following things to optimize SQL Server replication with a WAN link.
• Initialize the Subscriber from a backup.
Publishing the execution of stored procedures as opposed to replicating each operation performed by the stored procedure.
Leveraging Subscription Streams.
For more information, please review the following blog:

List of sql services required for deployment server?

What are the role of list of sql services in case of BizTalk, like notification service is required for BAM.
Along with can any one let me know the minimum services of SQL required on production.
1.Database Engine Services
SQL Server Replication
Full-Text Search
2.Analysis Services
3.Reporting Services
4.Shared Features
Business Intelligence Development Studio
Client Tools Connectivity
Integration Services
Management Tools – Basic
Is it mandatory to install analysis, integration services on production server.
Please suggest!
Fred

Sorry, that is not correct. SQL components beyond Database Services are required in most circumstances.
It's important you understand what to install based on your application requirements.
The definitive guides can be found here:
BizTalk Server 2009:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4066
BizTalk Server 2010:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561167.aspx
BizTalk Server 2013:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248688(v=bts.80).aspx
As a matter of practice, I always install all BizTalk realted SQL Server features, even if they are not used. This is for consistency across environments, reliable patching and to accomodate any future BizTalk app features.

Disaster Recovery Scripts for Managed Server MSI Startup

I am trying to get some custom start scripts created for each of my managed servers in the event the admin console is down or server gets hosed. We use nodemanager to start the managed servers in a Windows environment. I have about 8 managed servers and they all use the same nodemanager classpath but all have different server start arguments (different memory settings, etc....) so I need to make different custom scripts for each.

Hi,
Configuration: Weblogic 8.1SP2 on Windows 2000, 1 admin server and 14
managed
servers
whats the right way from these 2 scenarious to create a domain on managed
server
1. create domain on managed server using configuration wizard. Then point
to this
domain from administration server remote start tab(root directory). This
is what
we do so far.This is the best way to create managed servers for your domain.
>
2. Just enter user_projects/domains folder/$domain name$ in remote start
tab(root
directory)
on admin server console and when you start the managed server from
admin console
the domain folder and files will be created.
Yes, the managed server is started in this case at the root directory you specified.
The difference is in the
1. first case we see all scripts like startManagedWeblogic, setenv, boot.properties
etc
this may help(we still dont know) if one wants to bring up managed
server
manually using
startManagedServer.bat without using node manager.Yes, that is correct. You will need to edit the startManagedServer.bat to include
the admin server URL, username and paswword..
>
2. second case only 2-3 files get created like msi-config.xml and SerializedSystemIni.dat
Basically first case is superset of second case.
What is the experience of people in this regard?
thanks much

Minimum requirements for home server

I am looking to get a cheap iMac, Mini or iBook to use as a home server to run iTunes 24/7. I will be attaching an external HD for storage space for my media and will stream wirelessly to Apple TV over 802.11g using an Airport Express. What would be the minimum requirement for such a setup? Would the minimum requirement be what the latest version of iTunes require?
Message was edited by: Mac4lfe

Hi Mac4lfe: If you want to SYNCH between the Mac and the ATV, then any G3 will do, just expect the synching to be slow. If you want to STREAM from the Mac to ATV, then a G3 will do for music but not for video. If you want to stream video, a G4 will do, but you will get a lot of beachballs when you do anything on iTunes and sometimes the streaming will fail. I suggest you get the cheapest Intel Mac, you will have a much better experience when streaming. Lastly, remember you will need a screen for the Mini, there will always be warnings, error messages, updates, etc in iTunes that you need a screen, mouse and keyboard for. Very lastly, you can just get the ATV and buy music, TV shows, Movies and rent movies without a Mac. 160GP shall be enough. I have 40 movies, 20 full TV seasons and 6000 songs and am just over 400GB.

Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid for Managed Server

Weblogic 8.1 SP4. Solaris 2.8.
Initially, I only had the admin server in my domain. My application was targetted to the admin. Eventually, I created a new managed server so that my application would be targetted here and my admin server would just be dedicated to its admin tasks. I tried starting my managed server for the first time using the standard startManagedWeblogic.sh -
I get this:
####<Aug 22, 2005 12:38:37 PM EDT> <Critical> <Security> <md3801> <winsManagedServer> <main> <<WLS Kernel>>
<> <BEA-090402> <Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot identity
file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was create
d. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the
updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.>
bash-2.03$
Starting the admin server is fine and it uses the same boot.properties file in my root directory (user weblogic). But when I start my managed server instance (which is in the same root directory), it complains about the boot.properties ! I assume it uses the same boot.properties file. Any insights ? Thanks.

Hi,
You should know the right username and password, so you have to edit boot.properties by hand.
Remove user and password entry and re-insert them.

Antenore.

The problem is that the directory /appl/webbus/bea/user_projects/domains/ITIC-DEVEL-WLI/ does not exist at the node, because we have move it to /appl/webdbus/ instead of /appl/webbus/. The question is why applications need to create adminServerDevel/upload directory and how can override it.
Thanks in advanced
