The number of client access licenses may be reset to five in Windows Small Business Server 2003

Ran into an issue on the server after the power loss.
My Client Access Licenses were reset to 5 with Maximum usage of 12. I have about 25 PC's and Server also hosts exchange, which now prevents users from accessing OWA and local profiles. After digging around and reading logs, I eliminated issue to the licensing.
All the steps described in the Article ID: 888818 do not work, since the licenses were never backed up in the first place. Resetting, did not help either, since it's looking for a file, we don't have.
Additionally, the auto-populated solutions, were already tried with no success.
Please let me know if there is a way to restore licensing via original license key, provided on the machine, or I have to purchase it.
Thank you for your time.

If I do a repair the windows small business server 2011 standard repair console, will I loose the user's and computer's that are currently setup on the server ?

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand you want to repair SBS 2011 console (please refer to
the TechNet article:
Repair the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Console). However, worry about losing users and groups that be created by Windows SBS Console. As far as I know, those will not lose.
Since, when you create users and groups via SBS console, those are added to Activity Directory.
The SBS console is a GUI component, which makes it easy to configure and manage your Windows SBS 2011 Standard network. When you repair the SBS console, this component will be affected.
In view of your concerns, please back up before operation. It will help us to avoid some unexpected
issue.
Hope this helps.

Remote Access to Windows Small Business Server System via VPN

Same old story: I use macs at home but I want to be able to connect to our small company Windows network over the internet to pick up and put down files.
Said company network consists of a server running Microsoft Small Business Server and Exchange. The data sits on some network drives (Z: etc, you know the sort of thing).
I've sorted out email access - I just connect to the Exchange Webmail interface and do all that using a web browser at home.
Now for data: well, I have successfully connected to our company network using VPN PPTP by following the guidance in Pogue's Missing Manual. The VPN window reports that I am connected to ip 192.168.0.150 which our network guru tells me is the address of the "Internal virtual network adapter on the VPN." The actual server PC with the data on it is at .100.
Now, he's a great guy and everything but is definitely a Microsoft man only. When I asked him how to browse our network files on the server he told me to set up a network share using Windows explorer.
So..can anyone please advise how I can translate that action into OSX land? I have searched the Apple support papers but with no success. These days most hits for VPN concern the blessed iPhone....
I have tried in the finder running connect to server and typing in smb://servername. That returns error code -36 "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [that address] cannot be read or written". I have tried using the company lan IP address for the server instead and that returns "name or password is not correct".
I appreciate these things often depend completely on the fine details of our setup. If nothing else, does anyone know a good book to assist here - Pogue is a great basic guide but not really detailed enough for this sort of thing. Failing that, how do I find out what error -36 means? Ta.

Small Business Server 2003 Compatibility with Oracle 10G, licensing?

Hello all,
Is Windows SBS 2003 compatible with Oracle 10G, I looked at the compatibility and didn't notice it but I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with the two.

The licensing isn't by cpu slots, it's by the number
of cores times a multipier, which I believe for intel
is .5, so if you have a cpu w/ 2 cores, you would
purchase a 1 cpu license. If you have a quad core
cpu, you would need to purchase a 2 cpu license. I
would definitely talk to your sales rep about this to
make sure the multipier is right (and if it has
changed w/ intel quad technology).Thanks Jim. The multiplier used above for Intel is indeed correct. However, Oracle has (in the last few weeks) introduced the term 'socket' into it's licensing metrics as follows:
"When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to an occupied socket. See http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list.pdf "
To quote another source (CRN):
"..Standard Edition was licensed for servers with up to four single-core processor cores. For multicore chips, users could only license it for up to eight cores total. Oracle's formula was to multiply the number of cores by 0.50 to get the CPU license number to determine price. So a four-core box counted as two CPUs.
Now Standard Edition can be licensed on servers with up to four sockets, or four processors running one-, two- or four-core chips (and possibly a higher number of cores)." This source overlooks to mention that the multiplier relates to Intel!

Small Business Server 2011 Remote Web Access RDP doesn't work.

I have setup Windows small business server 2011 and a separate Terminal Server on a Windows Server 2008 r2 box.
Remote Web Access webpage works fine, I can check email and view network drives online. The problem I have is that I cannot connect to any computer using the Connect button.
When I click connect button, a file is downloaded. e.g. QITS.Rdp is downloaded.
Once I run the QITS.rdp, it will ask me for credentials. I input it and will get the following error.
I do not know where to start to look for this problem. Anyone can shed some light?
Toby

Hi Toby,
Just an addition. Did you use an administrator account to logon the RWA and then connect to the remote computer?
Did encounter the same issue?
Meanwhile, please refer to following threads and check if can help you.

REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

I am using a window 7 professional service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
on how to use it.
Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional service pack 1.
Thank you.

Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.

Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do? You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products. In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

Client Access License ( CAL ) Enquiry

Dear Microsoft Team,
We have one IBM Server in our organization, we have installed Server 2008 R2 Std on it, we have created one domain and active directory in server 2008.
We have 30 Linux embedded thin clients and linux desktop in our branch for the users,
Our users wants use rdp (remote desktop application) application is Linux to access Server Machine through LAN connection to work on their process.
Hence we are planned to procure Client ACCESS License for our Server,
Hence there are many types of CAL License, we have confused which CAL license is right CAL product for us.
Kindly suggest which CAL product we should procure
WinSvrCAL 2012 SNGL OLP NL DvcCAL (R18-04277)
WinRmtDsktpSrvcsCAL 2012 SNGL OLP NL DvcCAL (6VC-02071)
Kindly suggest me which CAL Product is suitable for us.
Regards,
Nithya.

Hi Nithya,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, as diramoh suggested we must need both types of CAL (Windows Server CALs + RDS CALs) to access by users. In addition, you can also contact
Volume Licensing center for more information.
Apart from that please check below article for general guide.

We installed a new Exchange 2007 CAS on Windows 2008R2. Got rid of old CAS on Exchange 2007. Now seeing this error. Does anyone have an idea??

Hi,
If the issue persists, I recommend you install Exchange 2007 SP3 RU7 and check the result. Also, ensure that Exchange 2010 SP2 RU1 or later version is installed. Old Exchange version may lead to the CAS-to-CAS proxy incompatibility.
What's more, here are some helpful blogs for your reference.

You can keep a ArrayList of active connections and store the IP address of the incoming connection in the Server. You have to do this everytime you accept a connection.

How do I Limit the number of Clients Per AP, Per Radio

I'm have WCS, 2 - WLC4404, 1 - WLC4402 and 1 WISM (6509). All running 7.X OS.
Here is my problem I have 4 3502 AP,s in the hall, but the laptops all connect to one AP. 2 Clients on A and 26 Clients on G.
How do I control this?
Mike

If you want to limit the number of clients PER AP then this is a feature that has been identified and will be available in the next few version.
You can, however, limit the number of clients and default is set to 12.

Adobe Media Server pro 5 Scalabiltiy Requirements with respect to the number of clients connected

what are the hardware requirements mapped to the number of clients connected to a vritual server running on a Windows 2008 R2 Server? At what point should the scaling be done, what are the best practices? The encoding rate used is 360 Kbps.

Hi Simon
The HTTP (HDS and HLS) streaming and recording limit in Adobe Media Server 5 Starter is 10 min. You'll need to buy a serial key if you want to record/stream for longer. Also there are no limit on number of clients for HTTP.
Hope this helps.

Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Remote Web Access fails to connect to Windows 8.1 PC

I am using Remote Web Access (RWA) gateway with Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.
There are several workstations all running Windows 7, and have been using RWA without an issue for well over a year.
There is now a Windows 8.1 Pro PC added to this domain, but the Remote Desktop does not connect.
The Windows 8.1 PC appears in the RWA pages, It requests the credentials to connect, and then fails with the following error:
Remote Desktop can't find the remote computer "COMPUTERNAME". This might mean that the "COMPUTERNAME" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are typing to connect to.
I can connect to all other PC fine (running Windows 7). I have tried from different locations and PC's and the results are the same.
I thought I had fixed this problem a few weeks back. After running all updates on the server and Windows 8.1 PC, and rebooting both, the RDP worked, but I think it only worked once and then failed the next time someone tried to use it. I have not had
a successful connection to the Windows 8.1 PC since.
I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot this as there are no errors on the system which can't be accessed.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Mr Cheese,
à
I turned off the Firewall on the Windows 8.1 PC and the RDP is now working.
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Based on your description, this issue is related to Firewall. Would you please let me know current situation
of this issue?
Just addition. Please open Control Panel, select Windows Firewall and click Allow an app or feature through
Windows Firewall. Then please check if Remote Desktop is allowed. Meanwhile, please click Advanced settings in Windows Firewall panel and click Inbound Rules, then check if rules which be related to Remote Desktop were enabled.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

I own an iPad 2. I run my business on Dell PC and Small Business Server. I use Logmein Hamachi to access between PCs. I have installed Logmein on my IPad. Need help connecting to my businesss PCs....

I own an iPad2 and run my business on Dell PCs and Small Business Server. I use Logmein Hamachi to gain access between PCs. I have downloaded Logmein to my IPad 2 and want to access my PCs. Would appreciate any help with this process.

On the Iphone or Ipad you have 2 choices, both of which do the same thing.
1. Use Safari to log onto Logmein website, where your PCs r listed. Choose which one u want & log onto it.
2. Use Logmein Ignition w 1time purchase fee & it semi automates the process.

SQ01 restricting the number of database accesses

Hi,
I created a report using SAP Query (SQ01). When I run the query a dialog box appears asking the maximum number of database accesses.
The value entered here directly affects the result of the report. The user has to change the value manually in order to see the complete set of results, set it 999999 for example.
I want to get rid of that dialog box. Is it possible?
If not can I change the default value '100' to anything I want?
Thanks...

That is true, it is a bit loaded report. It includes additional fields, selections and another select statement for each record. I tried to keep it as simple as possible but that is the only way that I could think of.
The joins are:
VBAK - VBAP
VBAP - VBUP
VBAP - MARD
VBAP - MARA
The report basicly brings the stock amounts of open sales order items. In addition the total consignment level for that item is also requested, so I wrote a select statement in record processing which finds the total consignment level from the MKOL table for that item. I could not simply add MKOL to my join list because it than divides each item to the number of vendors that exists in the MKOL table. The user is not interested in the amount for each vendor, only the total amount.
The performance is not that bad, but as I said before the result of the report is different for different limits of database accesses.
Is there a way to omit the limit?

Used the WRT120N on MS Small Business Server, having problems.

We purchsed the WRT120N to allow access to our network in our conference room wirelessly. I had my brother assist me with it's setup. We changed the IP Address so it couldn't get hacked into easily, we hid the SSID so it wasn't broadcast locally, and other things we did to setup security. I set it up using a laptop that wasn't plugged into the network, once we got it all setup, we plugged in the network cable from my connection in my office. It worked. I could access Internet. When I went to hook it into our switch in the server room, it no longer worked, and while I could get a wireless signal that it was there, I was not able to connect. The lights also on the switch stayed orange and never turned green.
I need help getting this setup. I now have an IP Address that the company who manages our server gave me. They are wanting us to purchase an access point, but I'm not so sure that is the route I want to go. I think I still want the router.
Any suggestions?

Who is your ISP...?
What is the ip address of the modem..?
What is the ip address of the router..?
Where is the switch and server connected...?
What is the ip address of the server...?
How you are able to see the Wireless network if you have disabled the SSID broadcast on the router..?Re-check the settings on the router.
