TCS gen 2 and Windows server 2003 support

Hi,
I have a Cisco TelePresence Content Server v5.3 running on gen 2 hardware.
From what I can see TCS v5.3 only works in Windows server 2003, this is a concern as Windows server 2003 support is ending July 14, 2015.
Is there anything that can be done to mitigate the above problem without having to purchase the gen 3 hardware?
Kind Regards
Ed

The supported deployment methods right now for the virtual TCS is for it to be installed on existing TCS hardware, either 2nd or 3rd Gen server only, 1st Gen servers aren't supported, but you can migrate from a 1st Gen to either of the latter two. You'll basically be wiping the old hardware servers and installing VMWare on them to run a single instance of Windows and the virtual TCS application. As Wayne said, support for 3rd party platforms is coming, Cisco knows it's a big deal for customers and a solution needs to be provided and not just limited to existing TCS hardware.
You would migrate your existing license and option keys to the new servers by looking them up from the registry and creating a license file to be used during the install process.
Support contracts will migrate as well, the serial numbers will remain the same, but the product IDs might change to reflect you now having a virtual TCS instead of hardware. However, I'm still working out the details of the product IDs from my migration I did back in August, though that hasn't stopped me from getting TAC support. 
To give you an idea of the process, take a look at the TCS 6.1 VM Install Guide.

  • Which VMware support Windows 7 as Host and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS

    Folks,
    Hello. I need to install PeopleSoft PIA in Windows Server 2003.
    Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Editon and cannot dual boot multiple Operating systems. I have to install VMware in Host Windows 7 and then install Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS for PIA.
    I have installed VMware Server 2.0.2 into Host Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333/ui cannot display any more.
    I have found that Windows 7 is not a supported Host Operating System for VMware Server 2 and strange thing might happen anytime. I found that "VMware Player 3" is fully supported Windows 7 as Host OS but is not supported Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS.
    Does any folks know which VMware product support Windows 7 as Host OS and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS ?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.   
    Ensure the printer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and the drivers are up-to-date.
    2.   
    Try the following method:
    Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT,
    or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
    Hope this helps. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Nicholas Li - MSFT
    That doesn't apply to Windows 7 Machines. I'm having the same problem as Acer_, I have a RDP Session from a Windows 7 Machine to a Windows XP machine and the local printer was available a few days ago but isn't anymore. The drivers are installed on both PC's
    and are compatible with Windows 7.

  • Tiger 10.4.4 or 5 and Windows Server 2003 Services For Macintosh unstable??

    We are running these tested Mac clients here:
    macMini 1.5Ghz 10.4.5
    G4 Quicksilver 800Mhz 10.4.4
    G4 Dual Mirror PowerMac 10.4.4
    They mount volumes on these servers:
    Dell Windows Server 2000 (SFM)
    Dell Windows Server 2003 (SFM)
    Xserve G4 OS 10.3.9 Server
    Macs sleep settings are this:
    Computer sleep=1 hour
    Display sleep=1 hour
    Hard drive=sleep
    Symptom:
    When the Mac goes to sleep, the 2 Windows Mac File servers volumes are
    disconnected. Upon wake, the error message stating they were disconnected are waiting.
    The Xserve volume is untouched. This should not be a problem
    since the Windows servers are running Appletalk via IP not
    native Appletalk protocol.
    Comments:
    Might be related to the lookupd bug in Tiger? http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/macosx1042/topic3108.html
    Here’s the system log from the macMini: (13:47 is when I woke it and manually mounted the volumes)

  • Crystal Reports 9 and Windows Server 2003 sp1/sp2

    Post Author: jnribeyrol
    CA Forum: General
    Hello,
    due to security updates in my company, we have to upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to sp1 or sp2.
    I haven't been able in the support to find out if there was any problem with Report Access Server on these SPs.
    Can somebody help me.
    regards

    CR XI is past it's end of life. You can upgrade to CR XI R2 for free.
    Go to: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
    Typically this is due to DEP, search forums for more info on how to configure it as well as your Anti-virus and/or Firewall may be stopping CR from running. You also need full Admin rights to install all components.
    Thank you

  • Officejet 8600 Pro and Windows Server 2003 (32 bit)

    The company I am consulting for purchased three 8600 Pro printers to replace three older and non-working printers. They are still using XP Pro on their workstations and running Windows Server 2003 (32 bit version) on a file server and data server. All of the workstations have the drivers for the 8600 installed and are printing with no problems through the network. I checked the driver page on HP's site and there are no drivers listed for the 32 bit version of the server OS, only the 64 bit version. I need to install the printer drivers on these servers to be able to print reports without having to purchase another printer. Has anyone found a workaround to this problem or do I have to install one of the older printers in order to print and fax from the servers? I really can't shut down these servers in order to reinstall the 64 bit version of the OS.

    Hi,
    Install the software using the command prompt, the software do supported on Windows Server 2003 but its installation process is different.
    Follow these steps to install the printer on the server:

    a string value is being read checkLogin() when its expecting
    an object with property loginsuccess.
    maybe its a typo or something in your code.
    for example you may have place:
    var.loginsuccess == "loginsuccess";
    in which it should be:
    var == "loginsuccess";

    Hello jordixip,
    You can connect your Mac to Terminal Services using Remote Desktop Connection Client . You need a license, the client software, and turning on the appropriate bits on the server. It is in Micro$oft-ese, but the overview is here.
    Good Luck!

  • PSUS4 and Windows 7 and Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

    I have a small domain network with Windows Server 2003 , Windows 7 desktop, Windows XP desktop.  I have an HP LaserJet P3005 printer.   I need to be able to print to the HP printer from all of the computers (server, Win 7 and win XP).    I have a PSUS4 print server. Is there a way to setup the PSUS4 so that my server, Win 7 and Win XP computers could print to the HP printer?   For example, If I setup the Print Server on the XP computer with TCP/IP port, could I share it to the server and Windows 7 computers?

    Do you have any router or switch?
    Or all the computers are connected to windows server through a switch?
    PSUS4 must be connected to the router or the DHCP server so that it will get IP address and all the computers will be able to print.

  • Cold fusion 8 and Windows Server 2003 Administrator Login

    I cannot seem to login to my coldfusion (trial version)
    administrator login after installed successfully on my Windows
    Server 2003 with Web Edition Service Pack 2.
    It tries to go here which is correct
    http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    But I get
    Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)
    I attempted to go through IIS through default Web Sites and
    browsed over to
    http://192.168.10.19/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    and I now get a "The page cannot be found" display message.
    Is there anything special I need to do, perhaps in Web
    Service Extentions in IIS or something since I don't see
    "Coldfusion" mentioned anywhere, and I can't seem to find any clear
    instructions on the Adobe site.
    Please help, thanks.

    You should
    configure
    IIS for Coldfusion. Pay particular attention to the section "To

    If that is not possible, he wants to go with Windows 2000 Pro instead. He does not care for XP wants to stay away from it.

    Does anyone know if there is a tutorial/article on settinp up Dreamweaver cs3 to use Windows server 2003 as an FTP server...
    any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

    I was able to figure out how to setup the ftp connection, connect to my home server, however,whenever i tried to upload the contents of my website to my server, nothing gets uploaded to the site. I tried putting one page at a time, nothing. tried everything, and still no joy. I can see everything on my local server which is a XAMP package, but nothing on my remote server. Do i maybe need to maybe have a WAMP or XAMP on the Windows Server 2003 or that should not matter. This is new to me so i am learning as i go along.
    Another thing, i was able to create a subfolder in my c:\www.ftproot folder, i can see that folder on my local machine, i'm just not seeing the files in that folder when i do my 'put' with my files.
