Windows 2003 and windows 7 access compability

Hi,
I am now using IBM server with windows 2003 32 bit operating system and clients are windows xp and windows 7. I want to know that if I convert all clients to windows 7. Is there any connectivity/accessing issues to server.
Is there any compability / accessing issues within windows 2003 and windows 7?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Windows Server 2003 is going out of support 2015.
Windows 7 works together with it without problems.
If this is a domain you have to be aware that GPO settings for Windows 7 should be configured from a Windows 7 machine with RSAT installed, otherwise lot of settings are not available within Windows Server 2003.
Also you have to think about server stored profiles, if used, as the .V2 profiles are used with Windows 7 and the older profiles will not work for users logging on to the Windows 7 machines.
Maybe there is more to consider but therefore the information you have provided is too less.

Appending Tiff files works on Windows 7 and Windows 2012 but doesn't work on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008

Please help me! The code below creates perfect output file son windows 7 and 2012 but on windows 2008 and win 2003 the generated images are corrupted without generating any exception during the process.
Both win 2008 and win 2003 are up to date. What do I have to install? Some hotfix? Please help me I'm stuck.
public void appendTiffs(string tiff1inputFilePath, string tiff2inputFilePath, string outputFilePath)
Stream imageStreamSource = null;
try
//Prepare encoders:
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo encoderInfo = getEncoderInfo("image/tiff");
System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters encoderParams = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters(2);

new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.SaveFlag, (long)System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderValue.MultiFrame);
encoderParams.Param[0] = compressionEncodeParam;
encoderParams.Param[1] = saveEncodeParam;
int numberOfPages = getNumberOfPages(tiff1inputFilePath);
MemoryStream byteStream;
imageStreamSource = new FileStream(tiff1inputFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);

encoderParams = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters(1);
encoderParams.Param[0] = saveEncodeParam;
outputBitmap.SaveAdd(encoderParams);
finally

Windows 2003 and windows 2008 for applications server

hi all.
i want to know about windows that which one is better for application server 10 R2.
which one is better windows server 2003 or windows 2008?
please if anyone knows about the difference and about the performance please help me out thanks.
Any suggestion?
sarah

Well, Sarah, I have used both and I would recommend that Win2K3 is better, not because any fault of the iAS from Oracle but due to some quirks of the Win2K8. There are many updates available for the Win 2003 and it is well patched. To be honest, I have been using Oracle iAS for the last 5 or so years and seriously think that it is not that great product from Oracle and when combined with Windows OS, it really sucks. I have, that is why shifted my iAS to Linux and one to Solaris.
best regards

Remote desktop connection limit in windows 2003 administration as well as in the mixed environment of windows 2003 and 2008 servers

RDP protocol i.e. Remote desktop connection is configured to perfrom and manage software administration of ORACLE application and database servers which runs on windows 2003 server. Two sessions are allowed on each of these servers for database
administrators. The question is:
a) if network administrators who perform window server administration (50+) are included in
2 sessions limit or do they manage all these servers through Console Session which is separate from the remote desktop connection limits of 2 sessions.
b) How is the 2 sessions limit prescribed by microsoft (more of a licensing limit) handled in the mix environment of windows 2003 and 2008 server where all these servers are managed on the VMWARE?
avnish sharma

Hi Avnish,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default any windows server will provide 2 remote session for administration purpose only. No matter which administrator is accessing that server. If you will connect the console session then 3.One server is accessed by 3 Session (console + Remote +
Remote). When the particular server reached this limit then any working administrator will receive a message to log out as other user trying to access the session or if we had provided the setting then new user is restricted to login.
If you want more than 2 remote desktop session than you need to purchase TS\RDS CAL, install TS\RD Licensing role, activate it first and then configure CAL on it. There are 2 types of CAL available (USER & DEVICE). You can purchase CAL according to your
company requirements.
Hope it helps to understand!
Thanks.

On 6u13, new plug-in fails to load on Windows 2003 and IE7

I'm attempting to load an applet in IE7 with an OBJECT tag in Windows 2003. This is a mature product that has, for this release, moved from 5 to 6. The CLSID was changed from the CAFEEFAC one for any version of 5 to the one for any version of 6. Java 5 version worked fine on Windows 2003. Now, on some, but not all, of our 2003 systems the ActiveX control for the new Java Plug-in fails to load.
These configurations work:
- Windows XP and any Java and any IE
- Windows 2003 and Java5 and any IE
- Windows 2003 and Java6, old plug-in, and any IE
- Windows 2003 and Java6 and APPLET tag and any IE
This one doesn't...on some machines:
- Windows 2003 and Java6, new plug-in, IE7, OBJECT tag
This is not a security problem. If I turn off the new style plug-in in the control panel, it works. However, I'd really like to avoid doing this, as the new plug-in has much needed features. Also, the APPLET tag works where the OBJECT tag doesn't. I can implement this change if needed, but it would be fairly painful and I'd prefer to avoid it.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Is there a good way for me to diagnose this? The browser is quite silent as to what the error might be.
I appreciate any help. This one is truly vexing me!

Okay, I'm wrong...I thought I could move to APPLET tags...I cannot. LiveConnect from JavaScript to Java does not support APPLET tags, only OBJECT tags. This makes my problem worse, as I don't have any recourse so far, except to disable the new plugin.
However, this did lead to a clue: disabling the new plugin caused it to work again. When the new plugin was re-enabled to see it fail again, much to my surprise, it worked! Does anyone know what flipping that option actually does? Registry change or something else?

SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

Hi,
We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario? I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
We are running
- ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
- XI(PI) Java & ABAP
- SRM (Java & ABAP)
- Portal (Java only)
- PLM (Java & ABAP)
- BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
Thank You
Felicity

Hello,
You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
Are you clear on this one ?
Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

Palm pro wont sync with outlook 2003 and windows device manager?

Palm pro wont sync with outlook 2003 and windows device manager? Files e.g. word docs or excel files sync o.k. but i need my contacts and i only get a error that there is sporblem with my desktop computer.
I am using vista and i have all updates installed.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

Disabling SMB2 and SMB3 Client from Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

There are many programs that are using a shared file on the server from clients from XP to Windows 10. From time to time it seems like there is a network outage and the handle to the file is broken and the file
cannot be read or updated. It seems more prevalent on a Windows 2012 server but may have happened from time to time on 2008 & 2008 R2. However there are not any network problems so it just leaves the server & Client
I have searched for possible resolutions including:-
Turning off the Cache for the share
Disabling the network adapter power setting to allow windows to put the device to sleep.
Disabling Antivirus/configuring it to ignore folders for on access scanning
Disabling SMB Signing
Configuring the clients DWORD registry value SilentForcedAutoReconnect=1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\NetCache
Setting the "NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1" to not drop client
connections
The last bit of trouble shooting that I can think of is to disable SMB2 and SMB3 as that does a lot of caching and batching of packets which could also be the cause of the problem.
I have looked at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us
I have disabled SMB2&3 on the server as that is very straight forward.
When I get to the section about disabling SMB2 on the client the command fails.
sc config
lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
  After running the above command, it returns an error:
      [SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
      Circular Service Dependency was specified.
So it's not worth running the following command:
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
I have tried the command on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10 just to confirm that it's nothing to do with any particular PC, machines in Domains and Non-Domain machines.
So, my questions are:-
1, is
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us actually correct and up to date and for the OSes (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 2012 server and Windows 10) with latest updates & service packs?
2, How do I disable SMB2 and SMB3 on clients for troubleshooting purposes the server to resolve problems with shared files (multi user access)
3, If I just disable SMB2 & 3 from the server would that force the clients not to use SMB2 when communicating with the server and therefore not caching the directory structure and file not found etc? I have seen posts that suggest this is not the case.
4. Does sc.exe have a bug in it?
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi,
I made a test in our testing enviroment, everything works fine to disable SMB2 and 3. For your problem, in my opinion, as I didn't find any specific report about this error, it would be better to use Process Monitor to capture the trace when running the
command.
Start Process Monitor, then set the filter as cmd.exe, after that, open CMD and execute the command.
Process Monitor:

In addition, I found another thread that had similar error with yours, you can take its solution as reference.

Roger,
Many thanks for the time taken to look into this.
I've downloaded process monitor and loaded it. I filtered for cmd.exe started capture and saved a 1mb file.
However I don't think this is going to help unless you can point me in the direction of what you're expecting to see in the capture file? If you want me to send you it I can but it does contain personal information which I'd rather not place online.
You can recreate the problem yourself by doing the following:
Go to modern.ie
Download any windows 7 virtual machine for your preferred of virtualisation platform
log in, start cmd as administrator and run the command
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
You will also receive the same error.
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
Circular Service Dependency was specified.
You can also try it on the Windows 8 and 8.1 machine if you have time.
I checked the link to the similar error and that just looks at the file not found problem which is the smb2 cache. They still didn't resolve the slow access to the share which is seen on a machine that has anti-virus on it when you go to right click
on the folder or a file in the folder. It's about a 20 second (spinning circle) pause every time. The problem is bigger than that. If you have shared files on the network share that are used by multiple people at the same time, say a spreadsheet or database
file windows is loosing the connection to that file so the user cannot write to it even if they have the file open. The smb2 caching shouldn't cause that problem.
It appears that I have to disable from SMB2 and SMB3 and ensure that the clients only use SMB1.
If SMB2 & SMB3 are disabled from the lanmanworkstation service the clients will not do any caching even if the server has disabled the share cache (offline files for that share).
The problem with the "Circular reference" error message is standard across all versions of windows that have "smb2" or "smb2 and smb3". Can you recreate that problem? Or is it working on your windows computer and on the machines
downloaded from modern.ie ?
My testing has shown that the command "sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi" does not work. Therefore that's the one I want to resolve first. By resolving that I may be able to get the clients accessing the share to behave
themselves and use the shared files correctly as they always did from Windows 95/NT4 through to Windows XP and 2003/2008 server.
I'm unable to recreate the problem with multiple users having access to shared database files on windows 2012 server from Windows 7 clients were the access to the files drops once a day or once every couple of days.
Kindest Regards
Robert

Can I install Windows 7 and Windows 8 to my MBA using Parallels and Bootcamp?

I have a Macbook Air (latest model, 11", i7, 256gb, 8gb ram, Mavericks).
I need to have access to Windows 7 and 8 and have been toying with the idea of getting a cheap laptop but the problem is most new machines are Windows 8 and they won't allow you to dual-boot with Windows 7 (you need W7 as your main OS and then install W8 later).
I'm also keen on not spending a shedload extra and carrying another device, so I was thinking if this was possible:
Buy Parallels Desktop 9 - then either using bootcamp or not, Install both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
I'm not fussed about running everything at the same time, happy to shut one VM down if it helps performance.
I have read that multiple OSs such as vista and XP worked once upon a time, but I get the feeling the screw is being tightened with all these cross OS installs and didn't want to drop a couple of hundred quid only to find out I'm trying something that isn't possible.
thanks for your advice.

I can't help you with Parallels, but I've been using VMware Fusion for quite a while and you can run Windows 95 through Windows 8.1 without difficulty, so Windows 7 and 8 on the same Mac is easy to do. I think your biggest difficulty will be the small size of your SSD. But with virtualization, you can put the virtual machines on an external SSD connected via USB 3.0 and run them quite well.

Whether Oracle 8.1.6 Supports Windows 2003 Server/Windows 2000 Adv. Server

Dear All,
Whether Oracle 8.1.6 Supports Windows 2003 Server/Windows 2000 Adv. Server.
I tried it in windows 2003 server but i couldn't. Atlease tell me wheather it support windows 2000 adv. server. This is my first dba job.
Under Doc ID: 66397.1 saying Oracle 8.1.6 Not Support Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition.
Under Doc ID: 77627.1 saying Oracle 8.1.6 Supports Windows 2000 Support.
Please help me out urgently.

Since you have access to Metalink, you could be looking at the Certify tab to find this information. But, the answer is that 8.1.6 is no longer supported by Oracle. However, you should be able to install it on Win 2000 advanced server. You just can't get any support for it.
The earliest version of db supported on Win 2003 was either 9.0 or 9.2, but 9.0 is desupported now as well.

BDB support for Windows Vista, WIndows 7 and Windows Server?

Hello,
I examine to use BDB on Windows, and I have a question.
There's a description about supported OSs on the BDB reference guide as follows;
Where does Berkeley DB run?
The Berkeley DB distribution includes support for Windows/95, Windows/98, Windows/NT, Windows/2000 and Windows/XP, via the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and .NET development environments.
Does BDB distribution supports for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003?
And it will support Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7?
I believe that BDB does not depend on specific function of Windows, thus there's no problem to support them...
Regards,
Akira

Yes, we have a plan about BDB support for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server. Once we are ready, we'll let you know here.
Hi Vit,
For Berkeley DB XML questions, please go to the Berkeley DB XML forum at: Berkeley DB XML
By the way, I learnt there's a XP-compatible mode in Windows 7. You may want to try DB-XML with that.
