Running Windows 2003 Server on Xserve Intel with BootCamp?

Well...
This sounds like awfully bad idea, but one of our clients needs to run Windows 2003 Server for a certain project in their organisation. Fundings for the new hardware is available. Windows-compatible hardware!
The idea here is to get fundings for a new Xserve, run it with Windows 2003 Server in the project and then keep the delicious hardware for free when the project ends. A PC-server would be thrown out of a window in this 100% Mac-centric department.
Windows 2003 Server runs smoothly on a MacPro with Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop. What about the XServe Intel?

Schuckert-
Greetings.
Are you in a position to test the configuration for a while? If so then I vote do it. If not, you could buy a copy of OSX Server and install it on a Mac Pro and try running your software on the XServe platform.
However, depending on your relationship with this client, I would have them sign a release based upon the beta-ness of the software.
A lot of us here are not in a position to give such things a try-just yet. Too busy trying to make things transition smoothly on the accepted configurations.
Although I will say that I suppose a client will eventually pose the question to me (:>)

How to set a default firefox homepage on client workstations on a network with a server running windows 2003 server?

I am running a small client server network with about 27 client machines and windows server 2003 is the server OS. I want the default webpage on firefox to display our department homepage when users log on. I have set IE7 already in the groups policy in the ISS section but this only affects IE7. Any idea how I can do this with Firefox?

You can set or lock default prefs via a mozilla.cfg file.
Pref: browser.startup.homepage , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.startup.homepage
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How to install 11.5.10 on VMWare with Windows 2003 Server?

Need help on installing 11.5.10 on VMWare which runs Windows 2003 Server.
I've XP Pro laptop with 2GB RAM and 80GB HDD and external HD with 250GB. Gathered all required s/w for installation.
The Win 2003 Server VMWare is sitting on the external HD. I want to install pre-req s/w along with 11.5.10 on the VMWare.
(1) How do I make the laptop's CD drive and HD visible to the VMWare?
(2) Can I use the XP laptop HD as staging area and install on VMWare on external HD?
(3) What are the disadvantages/risks of using the external HD for both staging and actual installation?
Any help is appreciated.
FYI - we already have an Oralce 11.5.9 on VMWare. All services are up and running. Able to logon to SQL*Plus and EBS home page. The issue is, we are not able to connect to this Oralce VMWare image from other VMWare image(Siebel), ie, if we do a telnet to oracle vmware image connection establishes and closes immediately. No clue on why this is happening. But this is not happening when we did telnet from a vmware image(plain win 2003 server) that does not have Siebel. All vmware images work fine individually.
Any inputs?
Thx,

Installing Oracle 9i on Windows 2003 Server R2 Stansard x64 Edition

I'm trying to install Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.2.1) for 64-Bit Windows on a
Dell Server PE2950
equipped with intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
E5405 @ 2.00GHz, 2.00GHz,
3.99 GB of RAM (It is planed to upgrade to 12 GB of RAM next week)
Running Windows 2003 Server R2 Standard x64 Edition
on install I receive message :
The image file D:\Disk1\setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine.
Can you help me?

I'm not sure there is a supported version for your O/S but if there is you will find it by going to the downloads page at http://otn.oracle.com.
If there isn't I'd recommend going with a currently supported version of the product rather than one whose full support has ended.

Clean Access and Windows 2003 Server

I am trying to install the Clean Access Client on a VM running Windows 2003 Server. When I connect to our customer's network the VPN client appears to connect properly and I see the Clean Access window. Then it all seems to fall over. My customer tells me I should see a blue window with a red OK button on it but I never see it. As a result I never get completely into the network. Is this because I am running this on Windows 2003 Server or should I be looking at something else? Can this run in a Virtual Environment and on 2003 Server?

I work it out partially by myself:
1)
(excuse me, I meant "kinit and Krb5LoginModule" not "kinit and kinit.exe").
Krb5LoginModule seems to work now (with TCP). The output is:
KRBError:sTime is Tue Jun 01 17:13:51 CEST 2004 1086102831000
suSec is 945761

Cant install oracle 8i in windows 2003 server

hi,
I am a newbie in Oracle.While Im trying to install Oracle 8i in Windows 2003 server , setup is not running.It didn't show anything.When trying to run from auto run, after splash screen nothing came.I formatted hard disk,changed two more hard disks,.changed machine...but cant install it in no way... It is the same case in Windows XP home edition.
But it is running in one of my friend's machine(windows 2003 server)
Please help me with valuable solutions.
Thanks in advance

Did your friend install on W2003 or upgrade from an older version of the OS?
When trying to run programs on an OS that is not certified for the programs, it is hit-n-miss whether the OS actually has the support files needed for the programs.
Think about this: the Oracle environment needs OS support in the form of DLLs and other files. The contents of the DLLs are made visible as APIs. Each time Microsoft releases patches, it is possible that the APIs that Oracle used are changed. This is extremely true when a new version of the OS is released, and even more true with stripped versions such as XP Home.
If your friend installed and then applied patches, [s]he may have hit the proper API combination. If you appled patches first, you may have skootched your APIs to the point that Oracle can not longer install.
Even if you happen to get it installed, you run the risk of getting clobbered any time you install a new Microsoft patch. The risk is minimized when you use a certified combination of the OS and application.

TNS problems in 9i on Windows 2003 Server

Goody day
I have installed Oracle9i Database (and 9i Developer Suite) onto an HP ML370 Server running Windows 2003 Server. My problem is that wherever I need to use the username / password for things like sqlplus, forms, imp, etc I get SERVICE_NAME errors, TNS adaptor protocol errors, Can't resolve SERVICE_NAME and many more in that description field.
Please help.
Thanks
William

You need to look in the listener.ora for the db you want to connect to (did you create one after installing Database product?). Then you need to verify that entries in tnsnames.ora of both DB and DS homes "matches" with listener.ora.
Other than that, it is more likely to have a chance to help out if you provide some details of actions taken and corresponding errors (exact codes and messages).

Running LabVIEW 7.1 on Windows 2003 Server with Terminal Services

We are setting up a newtork based solution with LabView. I have looked for documentation on installing LV 7.1 on a Windows 2003 server to run the applications and then have destkops connect to it. Can this be done with a Terminal Services Access solution? Another words, if we were to purchase the LV Volume License Manager, can you install LV 7.1 onto a Windows 2003 server and run the application through TS across a 1GB backbone from the desktop, which makes the server do all the processing?

Sorry for the delay. I'm surprised Philip didn't get back to us... Phil
are you there? Based on his comments, I think he misunderstands your
situation (no offense Phil).
You and I are both talking about the same thing. You basically want a
terminal server license. NI will not provide it. They told me (over the
phone) to get a multi-seat license (MSL). IMO, that's unacceptable. I
expect a LV license taylored specifically for thin client networks. A
multi-seat license is for -->installing<-- on multiple machines. It
conforms to a totally different set of rules. One big one, an MSL assumes
that you intend to run LV locally to interact with DAQ hardware. Since
this won't be done with the thin client, you shouldn't have to pay for it.

Since you are talking about a Microsoft operating system, I would say this
cannot be done without some additional/costly junk installed.
Here's another option. If the people you're supporting don't have any
platform dependent things like ActiveX in their LV applications, you
should consider using a Linux-based terminal server. I know for a fact it
works.
I've assisted in setting up a network like this before:
* One Linux terminal server with LabVIEW for Linux (Full Dev)
* One WinXP box on the network with LabVIEW for Win (Prof Dev)
* 5 cheap thin clients
They developed LabVIEW source code on the thin clients and then compiled
packages on the WinXP box for distribution to their customers. The WinXP
was only used for compiles so they just hopped on when necessary. The
eventual plan is for the thin clients to simply open a RemoteDesktop
(using RDP) terminal session and do the compiles from there. I'm not sure
how to do that yet... on the Windows side.

Phil must have thought you needed a LV application to access the front
panel controls of another LV application running on a remote machine. The
VI server is handy in that area but useless in your case.
Hey, you wanna hear about cheap network infrastructure? We bought our
thin client boxes for $15 each! Go to ltsp.org if you want more info on
configuring Linux as a terminal server.

Mac 7500 working with a Windows 2003 server?

Hi all and thanks in advance for any help
We have an ancient mac 7500 that is dedicated to running an old version of DNA sequence analysis software (MacVector 6).
It is networked in our LAN, and there is a common drive on the server, which is on a Dell running Windows 2003 (yes, I live in a PC world...)
So, we can see the server, but when we try to do anything to the disk, it shows that priviledges are only read (not read write)
Our net admin folks swear that they have opened priviledges, and I can certainly read/write from my G4 and my PwerBook running OS 10.
We upgraded the 7500 to run OS 9.2 to try to make it as compatible as possible, but no luck.
Any suggestions on how to "unlock" the server drive to read/write?
You can send email to [email protected]
Thanks!
Mac 7500 Mac OS 9.2.x Windows 2003 network server

Unless you have added some additional software, the two systems you mention do not appear to have a protocol in common -- the Windows machine wants to talk SMB protocol, the Mac wants to talk AFP.

After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error..

After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error... REGSVR sapldap.dll error. I had to regsvr it manually. Crystal still didn't run. Found out that Crystal Reports XI will not run until you change DEP to protect only windows program and services. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your finding. Very much appreciated.
The DEP is a known issue and it is documented in [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
Crystal Reports XI was not compiled with the nx flag as it released before Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Service Pack 1.
As for the sapldap.dll. I'm not sure where this is coming from. I do not see this dll on my install, however it does come with the SAP portal integration kit. So I'm not sure if that is flying around somewhere on that server(?)

Oracle discoverer 9i can not running at windows 2003 server

Hi, Please help me.
When I upgrade from windows 2000 advance server to windows 2003 server the oracle discoverer 9i can not be open. When I open it there is a error "Failed to open document"
How to make it run smoothly at windows 2003 server?
Thank You

Hi,
This is a bug in your version of Discoverer. There is a patch to make it work with windows 2003 or you can upgrade your Discoverer to a later version. The patch should be available from Oracle support. I don't know of anyway to make your version work with 2003.
