Trying to upgrade computers and server on my small business office

I'm upgrading 4 computers and a server in my small business office (one for one replacement on all). Would I replace the server (computer) first and then the 4 computers or can I replace the computers and then the server? They are all Dell products.
I use a tape drive to do daily backups of my data. Can I just create a cloud backup account and put the data there and then download it back to that specific computer? I hope this makes sense. I haven't done this in years and trying to save a bunch of money
than paying some techs.
Thanks in advance, Cicely

-->The old computers and server is XP and the new ones are all on Windows 8.
Windows Server 2003?
-->I guess I better think
about this or do some extensive research.
Yeah...great.
Best,

I tried to upgrade itunes and i get windows error 7

i tried to upgrade itunes and i get windows error 7 - it says "The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever

Why is the latest up grade preventing me from going on the internet. I have tried automatic upgrade twice and I have both times had to restore my settings to the previous session to get on the internet.

Why is the latest upgrade of Firefox preventing me from getting on the internet. I have tried to upgrade twice and both times I have gotten "Can not display this page please try again later" I have tried to open several different pages. Both times I had to restore my computer to previous settings to get on the internet.

Hi Skydiver119
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible?

I tried to upgrade Reader and got a 1316 message. So I thought I would uninstall it and try a new clean download. Now I can't do anything. It is looking for Data\Adobe\reader 9.1.cab, Any suggestions?

You may also not want to shout (large bold print) when you go to the Reader forum. It irritates a lot of folks and may distract from your question.

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti virus software and try again...

HT4061 Hi I tried to upgrade Itunes and it says if I proceed I will lose all media

I need help as I tried to upgrade Itunes and my phone has a picture on it of ITunes and a plug in. I can't open anything

Your phone is in recovery mode. All data on it are already gone. You need to connect your phone to your computer via USB and restore in iTunes.
If you've been smart and using your phone as recommended, all your data should have been recently backed up so data loss should be neglibible.

Cannot install exchange server 2010 without small business server 2011

we purchased Windows Small Business server 2011 for one of our servers and installed the software and setup exchange server for the office. We had some 3rd party software that would not work with small business server so we had to install windows
2008 r2 server. we still need exchange server 2010. Is there anyway to install without small business server? When I entered the key in exchange server for the small business server it is saying that it is an invalid key. We have a
genuine version of windows small business server. is it all or nothing for the software. Thanks

SBS is indeed all or nothing. Breaking apart the individual components is not allowed. That includes exchange. If you want exchange without SBS, you'll need to buy exchange separately and exchange CALs. If you only have SBS CALs and aren't going to run
SBS, you'll need Windows CALs as well.

I tried to upgrade Firefox and now I'm stuck in a loop

I tried to upgrade to FF4 and my computer froze during installation. So I rebooted and tried to upgrade and it said I needed to reboot to complete an uninstall of a revious version. I did that 3 trimes. I was also unable to just open FF. Then I uninstalled FF completely and tried again, but I'm still getting the reboot message.

P35 NEO-2 FR RAID 0 problem trying to upgrade drives and delete original RAID 0

I upgraded my Samsung F1's 1TB to F's, problem is I forgot to divorce the two drives first before trying to install them in other systems. I wiped them clean but Intel's RAID software stamped them RAID 0 so when I tried to upgrade the drives nothing would show. The drive is recognizned on another board as a half of a RAID 0 as 1,80TB.
My board beeeps around 5-6 times but not in a sequence followed by the regular boot sequence but will not boot. I wanted to hit CTRL F and delete the original RAID 0 partition with the original drives. I'm getting 3 green lights with one red. bottom green, second to bottom red and the rest green. Says in manual something about ISA booting. I'm very frustrated with myself, This time, I went full retard.
How do I fix and what do the erractic beeps 5-6 before the normal beeping process mean?

Are you trying to mirror 2 x 1TB or ?
You can try clearing the RAID by doing a CMOS clearance.

One Microsoft Server 2003 R2 (small business server) doesn't connect to Context Directory Agent

I have 2 DC's and I'm trying to get the cda to connect to both dc's. Both are 2003 R2 but the one I'm having trouble with is Small Business Server. I've double checked security settings and firewalls, but I'm still receiving the error on one server only.
All help is appreciated.

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.

If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Setlup Windows Server 2012 like Small Business Server

I am presently using SBS 2003. Because SBS has been discontinued and Server Essentials doesn't have Exchange, I have decided to purchase Server 2012 and do Exchange as a VM. Is there any documentation on how to setup Group Policies in Server
2012 to mimic SBS? The features I'm interested in are My Documents redirection and Desktop Redirection. There are probably a few other features I can't think of simply because all my servers were SBS and I was used to the wizards and
features that set themselves up automatically.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in the forum.
Regarding your request, please understand that you could configure Folder Redirection polices in GPMC just like SBS 2003. For details, please refer to the following articles.
Deploy Folder Redirection with Offline Files
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj649078.aspx
Using Folder Redirection
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753996.aspx
In addition, please understand that you could install Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012, the feature makes you take advantage of all the features that are available
to you in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials without the locks and limits enforced in it. For details, please refer to the following article.
Windows Server Essentials Experience Overview

Mac OS X Server as Small Business Office Server

I have a small business envorionment where there are around 10 users. They all do basic everyday tasks, such as, browse internet, email, save files (PDF/Word), etc. Those machines they use run Windows 7 and some XP.
I need to put in a server where they can save to folders in the server and it back it self every night in to a NAS. I am sure I can use other basic services given to me by the Server OS, but those are the basics.
My primary thought was to go with a Windows Server. However, Could you guys give me some input if this is practical to me? I am leaning towards OS X Server because I would like to have it just because I my self have all apple hardware.

Well the reason I mentioned Apple hardware is because, if I DID'NT have Apple hardware, I don't see a point of considering this (Mac Mini Server with OS X Server).
Roaming profiles: Would be a great, but not required.
Open/Active directories: Preffered
Remote Access: Preffered
VPN: Preffered
I understand that I get get by with a NAS for now, but since the company is letting me make a decision, I would rather look ahead and get a server and use addional features.

Plug and Play for Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch

Good day
what are the Auto-Install options available for the Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch ?
It would appear there are none, the operating system is not the standard IOS I'm used to.
Would like to use it with Cisco Prime Infrastructure's PnP Gateway capability.
Regards
Pierre

Prime Infrastructure uses and assumes a CNS (Cisco Network Services) agent on the other side when enabling "plug & play". 300/500 Series do not run IOS and does not include a CNS agent, but there is a way to enable auto-configuration. The switches support DHCP Autoconfiguration (using DHCP options 66, 67, and others) whereby they automatically download their config from a TFTP server at boot time. This allows an administrator to put the configs for all the switches on a TFTP server and simply boot a factory-defaulted switch in order to get its config.
Attached is a document showing how this is done.
Hope the information would be of assistance.

I'm trying to post ads on ksl for my small business through safari.

Hey, I'm a small business owner that regularly sells product on ksl. I am trying to figure out how to build a script that will post ads for me since I sell the same products each time they come in. Going through the process over and over gets really repetitive and I could be investing this time on other things. Any help would be appreciated. I am a novice with applescript code and need any help I can get.

sorry, ksl.com. It's a local website where you can post ads for product that you are selling or buying. I would be posting in the classified section of the webpage. So I would need a code that would go to the "Place and Ad" tab, change the catagory drop down menu, then the sub catagory drop down menu, go to next screen and fill out text boxes, go to next screen and confirm, go to next screen and add a photo, go to next screen and confirm, then preferably loop the whole code.
