Why no 64 bit editions - or no Windows 7 / Windows 2008 server support yet

Hi all
I'm still having to run trials etc on a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine
Can we get at least SUPPORT so we can run the trial versions on Windows 7 / Windows 2008 server 64 bit versions.
Most computers are coming with Windows 7 pre installed now so having to keep running on XP type systems is a bit OLD now - especially with SAP enbracing new web based technology.
Hi Mods
perhaps you can delete this as I've just seen the other Windows 7 support thread.
Cheers
jimbo

You posted your inquiry to a hardware forum.
Which blade server do you own?
Do you have a question on any specific hardware component in that system?
Perhaps we could point you to that system's documentation
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html
if you told us which hardware you own.
Frankly, you need to go find a Microsoft-centric forum and ask your question over there.

Change IP Address on Oracle 9i Windows 2003/2008 Server

If I will change the IP Address on an Oracle 9i windows 2003 Server, in a client/server environment, will that cause problems in the database.
Ofcource I will change the lisner.ora script IP address and I will make new alias names on the clients.
Thanks in advance
Dimitrios

Dear Dimitrios!
If you have a DNS-Server in your network then it should be very easy to change your IP-Address because Oracle uses DNS-Names in its configuration. Therefore you don't have to change the Oracle configurationfiles tnsnames.ora and listener.ora. If you don't use DNS then there also shouldn't be any problems if you change your IP-Address in the tnsnames.ora and the listener.ora files.
Yours sincerely

How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi. How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share? I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up. I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
Thanks,
KMQ7

This would really be the "Holy Grail" right now. I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application. In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment. For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link

Connecting a Mac to a Window's 2008 small business server

I'm looking to purchase an iMac to use at work. Everyone else in the office uses a PC and are connected to our current Window's 2008 server. I would be the only person using a Mac. Is there any way to connect a Mac to the server?

There should be no problems connecting the Mac to a Windows server for file sharing. I do it every day. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
If there are Windows-based programs that you will need to use, you may need to run Windows on the Mac for those programs, but there are several very practical ways to accomplish that.

Windows SBS 2008 and Treo 755P

Has anyone had any success getting a Treo 755P (Sprint) to sync with a mailbox on a Windows SBS 2008 server ?? The device will sync with a Windows 2003 64bit and Exchange 2007 server but will not with a SBS 2008 server. I have talked to both Sprint and Palm and they weren't much help other than to tell me it was a server issue. I am getting the following errors:
AirSAMStateMachine .c1913 4628
AirSAMStateMachine .c1913 3
Sometimes I get one error and sometimes I get the other but the 4628 is the most common. I have done a hard reset on the phone as well as tried it with multiple accounts with no success. I have iPhones, Blackberries and a Treo 855W working fine with the server, I just can't get this phone to work ... I also have a purchased cert. on the server from Verisign, but tried it both with and without SSL and neither works.
Anybody with any suggestions ??
Thanks,
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Oh, good. You're almost there then. Does this problem affect other handhelds too? Palm/Versamail or WinMo? If you need additional testers, I can simulate one and connect with a test account.
Is the problem still occurring after a hard reset too? Is it limited to EAS when set to "as items arrive" or does it hang no matter what time increment is chosen?
Was the Sprint Treo 755p 1.07 update already applied?
Once EAS is connected to a good Exchange server, it usually works well. For kicks, did you delete and recreate the ActiveSync virtual folder on the server? Are there any hints to the hanging/freezing in the IIS logs?
Hopefully, the real prob will turn up and let him get this working 100%

USB Connections on Windows Vista 32-bits edition

Hi. Since I installed Windows Vista 32 bits edition (don't ask me why, but when I used the 64 bits edition- which I uninstalled because some games didnt' work well- this didn't happen), I have this trouble.
I have a N80. When I use the USB Connection in PC Suite Mode, the Nokia PC Suite perfectly detects the phone, and Windows installs the drivers by downloading them from Windows Update, I know this because when the balloon in bottom right corner appears, it says "Installing new hardware software..." and if I click, the little windows apeears, and it says "Downloading from Windows Update".
The problem comes when it finishes installing it. Windows says that there was an error when installing new devices, the error code is 28, and the legend is:
The name is already used as a service name or as a display name of some service.
Or something like that, I have Windows in spanish and I tried to translate it. And the Nokia PC Suite never displays "Nokia N80 connected via USB", always remain as "No connected phones". This doesn't happens if I use the bluetooth mode, but I need the USB because I want to check if firmware updates are avaliable and other things.
I tried in differents USB ports with the same results.
Has anybody had a similar experience or any idea? Or maybe is this a known issue? (obviusly known by everybody but me, ...)

- Ihave the exact same problem as you do and so far have not found a solution to the problem. Everytime I check the post board I see more and more have viewed your post but no one else seems to have an answer for you either. I e-mailed tech support and answer I got was no help what so ever to me. So posting a comment to your question in hopes of getting someone's attention that maybe can help us both. Who knows maybe Creative might even respond to us.

Windows 7 64-bit edition compatibility

I was doing some research before installing Windows 7 64-bit edition on my MBP. I found in this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846) that my MBP is not covered for the install, because mine was made in Mid-2007 I think.
Question (but a statement first). I would like to install the 64 bit edition, because then I would have access to all 4GB of RAM, rather than being capped at 3. It is really not a huge deal. But I have a Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM, so does anyone know which components don't meet the requirements for the 64-bit edition.
I am not going to do anything that is going to screw up my computer in the long run. I was just wondering if anyone knew why this would not work.
Ian

The Windows 7 DVD for 64-bit and your EFI 32-bit firmware.
There are ways around this, but back in 2007 the EFI 64-bit wasn't finalized yet, which became Unified EFI 2.x / EFI64.
Modifying the DVD is the one way I know, but required first installing temporarily in a VM (Sun/Oracle, Fusion, etc) and modifying (reburn) the ISO.

ITunes for Windows XP Pro 64-bit edition?

When I joined the ranks of iPhone 3G owners @ 2 months ago, I was a bit disconcerted to see that iTunes wouldn't work with Windows XP Pro 64 bit edition. (Which is what is running on my primary PC). You Apple guys should know why I DON'T want to upgrade the machine to Vista! (It's running nice & stable on XP-Pro 64-bit). I've been able to sync the iPhone (& update it's software) using my girlfriend's PC (running 32-bit XP Home), but since she's none too careful about stuff like antivirus protection & adware, her machine's buggier than a roach motel! (Really needs to be re-imaged). Could I use the Vista 64-bit version of iTunes on my PC? REALLY rather use it than her machine! Thanks! Tom

There is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.

ITunes and Windows XP 64 bit edition

I have iTunes v 6.0.4.2 running on my machine. I tried to install the latest version and am told it won't install on the 64 bit edition of XP. Why and what do I need to do to make it work?
Gentech Windows XP Pro OS is the 64 bit Windows XP

Sorry for lashing out, I know typed messages can easily be mis-interpreted. It seemed to me as though the response was intended to be like, "Hey stupid ...". And I get rather frustrated when people do that.
I have the PowerMac Dual Processor G5 1000mhz FSB. I know that the iPod and iTunes are linked as software and hardware, but I was not aware that I could install the iTunes application from the website to my iPod. Do we know if it is planned for iTunes to work with the XP 64-bit platform? If not, is there anyway I can assist with the project to make it happen... I am part of the Apple Developer Connection.

Why firefox 64 bit for windows is not available?

Hello friends.
Today, many of computers and cpus are 64 bit. Also most of opeerating systems sucha as windows have 64 bit edition.
Now firefox for linux is available. Why mozilla don't publish 64 bit edition of firefox?
If the problem is plug-ins availablility, now most of important plug-ins such as Flash player can work on 64 bit browsers. This problem is solving.
Other browsers, like Internet Explorer have 64 bit edition.
Please work more and more to solve this problem.
I posted this on the forum to get notes of other firefox users!
Thanks very much.

Thanks for your very good answer. But When we have x64 cpu and x64 os, this means we have more addressing space with more than 3 GB RAM.
When firefox supports x64, it can use more addressing space in memory and can speeding up Java Script runs Also in applications such as web based games, and and new HTML 5 web apps).
The feature web apps will use more complex code, this codes will run faster on x64 browser.
If x64 browser haven't any good reason, why others such as microsoft are releasing x64 browser? and Adboe is suppring x64 in newer flash player plug-in?
If x64 IE is slower than 32 bit version, this is because they have little work on 64-bit browser for reducing memory usage and faster runs
I think companies must work more and more on supporing maximum capacity of the newer CPUs.
After many years past of releasing x64 architecture in hardware world, the the world of software is so retarded.
Thanks

WSUS + BITS Versions + Peer Caching + BranchCache + Windows Editions = HEADACHE!

We have a WSUS server in the main office (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard).
We have a branch office with Windows 7 Professional clients and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard and Enterprise servers, which means these computers are using BITS 4.0 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968799(VS.85).aspx).
To save on disk space, we prefer not to set up a WSUS downstream replica server in the branch office if we can use BITS 4.0 with BranchCache.
Researching WSUS and BITS Versions and Peer Caching and BranchCache and Windows Editions has been confusing. Some questions…
These pages in the BITS section of MSDN all say: “Starting with Windows 7, the BITS 3.0 peer caching model is deprecated. If BITS 4.0 is installed, the BITS 3.0 peer caching model is unavailable.” However, these pages also say: “BITS (4.0) uses
the Windows BranchCache for peer caching,” and “Starting with Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 4.0, the BITS service was extended to allow subnet-level peer caching for downloaded URL data by using Windows BranchCache.”
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362708(v=vs.85).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964314(v=vs.85).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964240(v=vs.85).aspx
And this page says: “(BITS 4.0 New Feature) Peer caching now uses Windows BranchCache. This new peer caching model replaces the model used for BITS version 3.0.”
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363167(VS.85).aspx
Okay, fine. BITS 3.0 peer caching is unavailable for Win7/2008 R2, but BITS 4.0 “peer caching” does work by using BranchCache. Got it. So, do we understand correctly that the various “peer caching” group policy settings under Computer Configuration – Policies
– Administrative Templates – Network – Background Intelligent Transfer Service have
no effect at all for BITS 4.0 clients?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362844(v=vs.85).aspx
Next, the link at the end of this paragraph says: “Windows BranchCache must be enabled on the client through a group policy or local configuration settings.” Okay, fine. We followed the instructions at the second link to enable BranchCache for our
Windows 7 clients. Interestingly, the description in the Turn on BranchCache group policy setting (under Computer Configuration – Policies – Administrative Templates – Network – BranchCache) says: “For this policy setting to take effect, you must install
the BranchCache feature on the client computer.” However, it seems that the BranchCache feature is
already installed by default (although not enabled) on Windows 7, because there’s no option to add BranchCache in Control Panel – Programs and Features – Turn Windows features on or off, and there’s already a BranchCache service on
Windows 7. So, does this statement actually not apply to Windows 7 (and only Windows Server 2008 R2)?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964314(v=vs.85).aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637820.aspx
Next, the link below says: “The Windows BranchCache feature is an optional component that must be installed on the server,” and “The server must also enable the Windows BranchCache feature though group policy.” Okay, fine. We followed the
instructions at the second link to enable it for our Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. However, we would like one of our servers in the branch office to be the “Hosted Cache” server, and the remaining Win7/2008 R2 computers to just be “clients” that use the
Hosted Cache server (for the WSUS updates). So, in this case, does only the
Configuring a Web server or a BITS application server to use BranchCache section at this link apply to our Hosted Cache server, meaning no other steps are necessary beyond just installing the BranchCache feature? Or, do we have to go through the
Configuring a file server to use BranchCache section?
Likewise, does the Computer Configuration – Policies - Administrative Templates – Network - Lanman Server - Hash Publication for BranchCache group policy setting apply to us if we’re just looking to use BranchCache for WSUS updates and nothing else?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964314(v=vs.85).aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637785.aspx
In doing more research I believe that, for Hosted Cache mode, the BranchCache feature must be installed on
both the WSUS server at the main site and on a server at the branch office. Is this correct?
Next, we want to configure the BranchCache Hosted Cache mode group policy setting. However, this setting says: “This address must match the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the server specified in the certificate for the BranchCache server's certificate,”
and “the certificate root for the BranchCache server's certificate must be in the client computer's trusted root store.” Since our BranchCache clients will only be using BITS for WSUS updates (via HTTP), is it still necessary to install a certificate
on the Hosted Cache server? (If Yes, that's too bad, because it really complicates BranchCache deployments, especially when all of the computers are within your Active Directory domain).
Next, there’s the Configure BranchCache for network files group policy setting. Since this setting uses SMB, we’re assuming this does not apply to BranchCache used by BITS clients, and so we don't need to configure it. Is this correct?
So, in Summary: We just want to use BITS with BranchCache for the computers in our branch office to access WSUS updates on a local server that’s acting as a BranchCache Hosted Cache server. And we’d prefer not to have to deal with certificates to make this
happen, if possible.
Sorry for the long post, but there’s just no clear, one-stop place that informs us how to configure all of this.
Oh, and is all of the above completely irrelevant
for us since this TechNet page says BranchCache requires the
Enterprise Editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2? I sure hope not… :o)

http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles-tutorials/windows-7/Deploying-Hosted-Mode-BranchCache-Server-Part3.html

First, I'm curious as to why you think that a BranchCache server would consume any less disk space than a WSUS replica server?
Because whereas our WSUS server stores all approved updates long-term, the BranchCache server would only store the updates needed for the branch office's computers, and
short-term.
Hmm.. this is not a benefit of branch-cache, it's merely a manifestation of an improperly maintained WSUS server.
The WSUS has over 100GB of updates.
Which is about TEN TIMES what should be held on a well-maintained WSUS server. :-)
The BranchCache server should use less than 5GB since it would keep only the most recent updates
Thus, BranchCache would contain about 50% IN CACHE of what a WSUS Replica Server would contain ON DISK.
This TechNet page says: "BITS uses the following Group Policies to enable and configure the peer caching," but then it says: "BITS 4.0: The BITS 3.0 Group Policies are deprecated.
Yeah, I did a double-take first time I saw that too... what it means is that those settings, originally used in BITS 3.0 have been deprecated, and now, with BITS 4.0 and BrancheCache you need to use the BITS 4.0 settings.
BrancheCache functionality is only available in the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7.
A hosted cache server must be Enterprise or DataCenter editions; the functionality is not available in Standard Edition.
Evidently for Windows 8 Professional, BranchCache
is available for BITS (not SMB), but that's not true for Windows 7 Professional
This is a manifestation of the change in SKUs availabe in those two products. There is no Windows 8 Ultimate, only Professional and Enterprise, and there's no longer an Enterprise Edition of the Server OS.
In this case, when Microsoft removed the BITS 3.0 peer caching functionality with BITS 4.0 and replaced it with BranchCache, they effectively required you to use the Enterprise editions of Win7/2008 R2
Yes. BranchCache is a feature designed for Enterprise-scale organizations with Remote offices. The presumption, and a reasonable one at that, is that such organizations have volume licensing, and with volume licensing, desktops will be installed with Enterprise
Edition.
The requirement of WS2008R2 Enterprise Edition is a bit more onerous, but it's nothing new. Microsoft has always made notable feature distinctions between Standard and Enterprise Editions.
What's really significant now, though, is that Windows Server 2012 does not have an "Enterprise Edition". There's Standard Edition and Datacenter Edition, and ALL features are in BOTH editions ... so something to consider here if I've not yet convinced you
that the simplicity of a replica WSUS server is a better choice than the complexity of implementing BranchCache -- consider deploying WS2012 instead of WS2008R2.

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version?

With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not seem to work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version? I am running a Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1 and the most recent vesion of iTunes, which, in all other respects, works well. I just can't listen to an album for the 1/2 to 1 hour that it takes to import it into my library.

Two JVM's ? I thought that J2EE worked within a single JVM and run everything in containers. Can you see the two processes?

Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

I have been having problems with my screen for several months now: every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels. I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed. It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal. I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot. This does not work. I have also tried installing the original graphics driver. This does not work either.
If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error:
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing. I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a resolution?
I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007. The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
Thanks for your help.

Windows xp 64-bit edition

I tried to install windows XP 64-bit edition beta. I downloaded this directly from microsoft (the flyer that came with the motherboard lead me no where to a link to download it). Unfortunately, the drivers that came with the raid controller are not 64bit compatiblee. I wanted to know how I would go about getting this installed properly (because XP 64-bit detects a mirrored array as two separate drives and will not boot).
What are the differences between 64-bit and 32-bit windows? will other programs not run correctly on it? Games? all that stuff? Comments? Any threads on this already?

What are the differences between 64-bit and 32-bit windows? 32bits
will other programs not run correctly on it? Yes and No ,32bits apps is emulated
and will run slower than on a win32bits , apps written and optimized for win64bits will run 20-30% faster.
Games? 32bits games (as all are today)will run with emulation helped by win64's WOW64 , and will run slower than on win32bits.
Comments? It's beta , and you can play with it to get the feel for it , but
unless you have 64bits driver for all your hw , your win64 installation
will be a bit stumped , afaik printers/scanners etc is hard to get any beta 64bits driver for . I tried writing to canon but they just blew me off , directing
me to their donload site where there is only 32bit drivers.
any threads on this already? yes, use the search button .
