SL server as standalone server for Windows(XP,7) network

We have been using an OS X 10.3.9 Server XServe G5 as a mainly Windows ( all XP clients) PDC file server for 6-7 years. What a great machine and super reliable. But of course it is getting long in the tooth and so I am looking at the Mac Mini SL Server bundle.
Now along comes Windows 7 which won't authenticate against an old style PDC. I am quite confused about whether a standalone SL server can act as a whatever is the equivalent to a PDC in the Windows 7 world. We simply want all our Windows XP and 7 client machines to authenticate against the SL server for consistent file sharing access.
Thanks

See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3235
OS X cannot act as a PDC for Windows 7 or 2008 Server R2. So if you want to run a directory system for Windows 7, you can't use OS X at this moment in time.
However, if you are happy for your Windows machines to be stand alone, not part of any domain and have all the users managed locally on each machine, then you can use OS X as a file server.
You will need to create users on both the Windows machines and on the OS X box in this case.
If you just have Windows clients and want a directory system, I would be looking at Active Directory.

HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit not on the companion CD

Hi,
I cannot find the HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit on the companion CD. Any idea where I can get it from? For the 32bit version the HTTP Server is on the Companion CD.
Thanks in advance,
Florin

If i am correct reason should be : Oracle Application Server 10g will run as a 32-bit application
Following platforms have the same media in either case:
Microsoft Windows 32-bit and EM64T/AMD64
(Not Itanium-64, which is separate and referred to as "Windows 64-bit")
Linux x86 and Linux x86-64
Solaris Sparc 32-bit and Solaris Sparc 64-bit
As the Oracle Application Server 10g will be run as a 32-bit application. See the Installation Guide or readme files for any specific steps on these 64-bit platforms.
Refer the Note.433061.1 - How to Obtain Application Server 10g Media, Patchsets, and Patches

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
I am using Bootcamp.

Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows 3.0

I have to rebuild a server using Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows 3.0 ... I cannot locate this software under "download software" in cisco.com ..
where can I download a copy for Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows 3.0 ?

Hi,
You can not download the ACS windows Solution engines softwares from the cisco.com > download pages as these s/w are not available there. You can only download patches and remote agent software.
In order to get any ACS software/ upgrade assistance you need to open up a TAC case.
Also, ACS 3.0 is not supported by Cisco anymore..getting support for this version or any 3.x is not possible.

Free (java-based) LDAP server for Windows

Hello,
I am experimenting with JNDI. Can anyone tell me if there is a free LDAP server for Windows that I could use to run JNDI examples.
Thanks in advance,

Do not forget to create the directory 'openldap-ldbm' manually in the apropriate place as defined in the config file.

Content Server for Windows x64

Hi,
I need to install Content Server on x64 Windows machine.
I downloaded the SR3 installation master CD.
I need to find the "Content Server 6.40" cd labeled "SAP:SAP_CS:640:*:PPMS component SAP_CS:PPMS-LABEL)". From where can I download it?
Thanks,
Omri

starting point for newer content server installations is currently service.sap.com/contentserver -> Media Library
-> Literature , where I found a new "installation guide for SAP Content Server for Windows 2008".
Unfortunately, SAP Note Note 1556824 "Direct navigation to SAP Contentserver download page in SMP" does not mention details on how to find the source for the content server installation, but I got help by Content Server for Windows x64

Local Apple Software Update Server for Windows

Has anyone figured out, how to use Leopard's Software Update Server, as a local Apple Software Update Server for Windows?
As you may know, 10.5 Software Update Server downloads, not only mac updates, but the windows' version of them as well (e.g. Safari, iTunes for windows).
There has to be a way to use that new feature.

{quote:title=Apple wrote:}
Software Update Server is capable of automatically mirroring updates between
Apple’s software update server and your local server to guarantee that the most
current updates are immediately available. Mac OS X Server also supports hosting
Apple updates for software running in Boot Camp, such as iTunes and QuickTime for
Windows. To ensure security, all updates are digitally signed by Apple.

No idea, how to get it running smoothly yet, however.

How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server.
So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
tools.
Regards
tschaena

As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
a) proxy server
b) proxy port
c) proxy user
d) proxy users-password
e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
b) OR who inherits this information from whom i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
environment value. But at least, it works.

Weblogic server for Windows 7 64 bit operating system

Hi,
I have installed Personal Oracle 11g on my laptop. Next, I would like to install the weblogic server and then the Fusion middle ware. My goal is to have Oracle Forms, reports and discoverer running on the laptop. I dont see Weblogic server 64 bit for windows in the oracle product matrix. Can anyone suggest where I can get weblogic server for Winfows 7 64 bit machine?
Thanks,
RV

Hi,
Oracle WebLogic Server Downloads can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
I believe Oracle WebLogic Server is not certified yet on Windows 7 64-bit, and this explains why you cannot find installation files to download. More details about the product certification can be found at:

Sun Java System Messaging Server for Windows xp

Hi,
We are in a project that uses Sun Java System Messaging Server on Windows xp platform. But we didn't find the software download.
Please tell how can i have that software?

Messaging Server 6.x has never been released for Windows. A windows release is projected for the future, but that may be months away.
Messaing 6.1 is available NOW for Redhat Linux AS2.1 u2 and Solaris X86. I have installed both, and find them both good.

Mac as a file server for windows -- mounting a mac disk at windows startup

Is there any way to use the Mac as a file server for a windows XP home service pack 1 system?
The best I can do is "mount disk at login". However, this fails to use the right username/password, and even then it fails to deal with programs that run outside of a user context, or with fast user switching (it seems every program gets a different set of drive letters to remote volume mappings).
Mac Mini 1.42 1G Mac OS X (10.4.3)

And this is my problem.
In windows terms:
I want to assign a drive letter to a network drive, and have that be a machine-wide assignment, that is activated during bootup, and is visible to all users and services.
I can do that for an arbitrary partition that is physically attached to the machine.
I cannot seem to do that for any partition that is mounted over the network.
The problems are:
1. It doesn't map for every user,
2. It doesn't map for services that run when a user isn't logged in
3. It generates annoying inconsistencies in what programs see what.
Is there really no way for an XP box to use a file server? Even a microsoft file server? (if there is, how do I make my mac os with samba look like a real microsoft file server).
Annoying tidbit: The "conncet at login" information is stored in the user profile; if you rely on that, then the user profile cannot be stored with the rest of the user's personal files. If it weren't for that, I could probably live with a work around.
(2 to 1 someone will say "Xp Professional can do that trivially" and tell me to upgrade. I thought XP home was supposed to support home and small office networking, and I thought that included a single shared file server.)

Hi,
I found this article on Symantec website:
Enterprise Vault 10.0.3 Feature Briefings - FSA support for Windows Server 2012
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=DOC6307
So the newest version should support Deduplication (at least on Windows Server 2012) now.
And for best practice, do you have any specific requirement? It actually depends on necessary.
