Windows Small Business Server 2008 shutdown 180days 38 4

Hello to everyone,
I'm trying to solve a problem in a friend server.
i'm working on a Small Business Server 2008, it's a DC, NO sharepoint, NO Exchange (there is another software), NO DHCP (firewall do it), WINS and DNS enabled.
Some days agoo Server has shutdown and in event viewer i found this 2 errors:
38 and 4
Event ID 38:
"The Additional Server Count Check detected a condition in your environment that is out of compliance with the licensing policy. This server will be automatically shut down if the issue is not corrected in 68 day(s) 19 hour(s) 30 minute(s). Please look
for additional events for Additional Server Count Check to troubleshoot."
Event ID 4:
"The Additional Server Count Check in the Licensing component did not pass because error 0x8007200a occurred in function f1031 [PFVK].
The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist.
I tried slmgr.vbs -dli and it's Licensed correctly.
So i ran dcdiag /q and i've seen many errors like this:
EventID: 0x0000168F
Deleting dynamic of the DNS record '_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.dominio.local. 600 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.dominio.local. 'failed on the following DNS server.
I ran dcdiag /fix but problem still remains.
I really don't know how to fix this issue...
Anyone have an idea?
I also thought to use, in the extreme case, -ream , like slmgr.vbs -rearm, but i don't know how many times i can rearm server.
Thank you and have a nice day

Here you are DCPromo Log, it's in Italian 'cause is an Italian Server, btw i can translate.

Warning: Palm OS Treos and Windows Small Business Server 2008

If you use a Treo smartphone with the Palm operating system, beware: it does not work with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008.
Palm acknowledges this failure and has no intention of fixing it.
There are at least two problems:
(1) You must turn off all email security on the Exchange mail server to sync with Treos.
(2) AutoSync locks up the Palm each time it occurs, and must be turned off.
Here's the transcript of my chat w/tech support. After this, I spent a few hours on the phone and got the same answers.
[12:35 AM] Gary says: Hello.
[12:35 AM] Handoff connection active (1/5140).
[12:35 AM] x says: Hi. Please see the question sent earlier.
[12:36 AM] Gary says: Could you please be more specific about the issue?
[12:37 AM] x says: Our Palms will not talk to Exchange Server 2007 unless all its security
features are turned off. This is a problem with Palm/VersaMail. When will it be corrected?
[12:38 AM] Gary says: Yes, that is true. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
[12:38 AM] Gary says: I am very sorry to inform you that currently we do not have any information on this.
[12:39 AM] x says: Apology accepted and appreciated. But when will this be fixed?
[12:40 AM] Gary says: Unfortunately we do not have any sort of update on this. I suggest you to post the
feedback in the Palm Website.
[12:41 AM] x says: Okay, next question: Every AutoSync locks up the Palm, so we have to turn
AutoSync off. Do you intend to rectify this problem?
[12:42 AM] Gary says: I understand your concern. Is it happening with all the Palm devices?
[12:42 AM] x says: Yes.
[12:43 AM] Gary says: Do you receive any error message before locking up the Treo?
[12:43 AM] x says: No.
[12:46 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this happening with all the devices to me it looks like the issue should be
diagnosed closely to find the root cause. Was this happening with the Exchange Sever 2003?
[12:46 AM] x says: No
[12:46 AM] Gary says: So, the AutoSync feature is Locking the device from the day you upgraded to the
Exchange Sever 2007.
[12:46 AM] Gary says: Am I correct?
[12:47 AM] x says: yes.
[12:48 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this is the issue related to the sync with the Exchange Server 2007 and the
AutoSync to find out the root cause I will escalate this issue to our escalation channel which is our Voice
Support Team.
[12:48 AM] Gary says:
I will provide you all the information and guide you in the correct direction to address this issue.

[12:54 AM] Gary says: Thank you for providing all the information.I need 5 minutes to register the device and create a Service Request.
[12:55 AM] x says: Thanks for your help, and confirmation of the incomprehensible failure to support Exchange Server 2007. We're this close to dumping these things if this is the kind of tech support Palm intends to provide.
[1:00 AM] Gary says: Thanks for staying on hold: I am sorry for the delay. I can understand the inconvenience you are facing.
[1:01 AM] Gary says: Based on the information you provided, I created a service request for you in our database. The Service Request number is : 1-51558238041

Joining Windows Server 2008 to Windows Small Business Server 2008

We have Windows Small Business Server 2008 and it came with a copy of Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL. (A packeged deal from Microsoft).
Long ago I installed Windows Server 2008 and MS SQL on a computer and joined it with SBS2K8.
My Windows Small Business Server 2008 crashed and I had to redo it and now I can't get the Windows Server 2008 to join it.
We are not using the computers for a domain or anything but they are on our network with regular IP addresses.
The Windows 2008 Server uses the SBS2K8's IP address for it's DNS. The DNS for the SBS2K8 is 127.0.0.1
We are using Windows Server 2008 for SolidEdge and MS SQL has to authenticate against the SBS2K8 to run.
Should I hook both computers up to a switch for their own network to get them talking to each other?
Do I have to put the Windows 2008 Server name in the SBS2K8 for a user?
Please advise and thanks.

Hi:
Read the warning at the end of this and be sure you follow it.
Can you explain further this part: We are not using the computers for a domain or anything but they are on our network with regular IP addresses.
I ask because SBS MUST be a domain controller or it will not work. Right click My Computer - Properties - Computer name tab and let us know if the SBS is "domain" or "workgroup".
What I expect is the SBS is a Domain, and when you reinstalled it it becomes a new domain, even if it has the same name. The Server was a member server in the old domain, so the solution to this is to change the Server 2008 with SQL from domain to
workgroup in the same place as above, then after it restarts rejoin it to the SBS domain by changing it once again to Domain.
Both the SBS and the Server 2008 should have static ip addresses and the SBS should be the DHCP server for the rest of the network, not your router/firewall.
Warning: You MUST check in control panel - users on the Server 2008 to verify you have a local administrative level account and you are positive you know the password for that account. When the server restarts after being placed into workgroup
mode the domain administrator will no longer be able to logon to the Server 2008.

Understanding Windows Small Business Server 2008 Backup - Full and Incremental with 2 Backup Destinations

Hi,
I am re-posting a question from the following page here as I have the same problem now and I can't seem to find the answer even though the question has been marked as solved: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsbackup/thread/daff108b-effa-4dad-807a-d604345975dd
Below is a copy of the question:
I have 2 backup drives, (Backup Drive 1 and Backup Drive 2)
Lets assume I have never performed a backup, so Day 1 is the first backup of the server.
Backup Drive 1 connected on Day 1 it performs a FULL Backup - this is expected.
Backup Drive 1 connected on Day 2 it performs an INCREMENTAL Backup - this is expected.
Backup Drive 2 connected on Day 3 it performs a FULL Backup - this is expected.
Backup Drive 1 connected on Day 4 it performs a FULL Backup - WHY? my understanding is that is should perform an Incremental Backup from Day 2
Backup Drive 2 connected on Day 5 it performs a FULL Backup - again why is it not performing an Incremental Backup from Day 3?
This means that in normal operation (Backup Drives alternate every day) We are performing FULL Backups everyday. In a few months this wont be an acceptable backup strategy; it will take too long.
I've used 'Configure Performance Settings' in the Windows Server Backup mmc to specify 'Always perform incremental backup' - it makes no difference.
If I look at the Backup Drive Disk Usage details it confuses me even more. It may be performing Full Backups everyday but it's definitely not storing Full Backup copies on the Backup Drives.
It seems to be that even when a Full Backup is performed, only the deltas are written to the Backup Drive so even though it takes longer it has the same effect as an incremental (so why doesn't it just perform an incremental?)
I don't understand Microsoft's use of Full and Incremental, it seems obtuse to provide a choice that appears to have no effect on the actual data written to the Backup Drive.
My real-world experience is at odds with that statements made in
The Official SBS Blog it states "every backup is incremental from a storage point of view" as well as "Because the wizard schedules differential-based backups' (nowhere in the Backup mmc have I seen any reference or options for differential),
"Backup runs quickly" and "...works the same for multiple disk rotation." (This is simply not the case with a 2-disk rotation. It runs a lengthy FULL Backup every time.)
The backup has been configured using SBS Console, runs once a day at 16:00. 2 Backup Drives, alternating daily.
Can anyone clarify Windows Backup operation for me?
I'd appreciate any feedback at all, thanks.

Optimizing Backup and Server Performance
(Windows Server 2008 R2)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759145.aspx
Even if you choose the option to create incremental backups, Windows Server Backup will create a full backup once every 14 days, or after 14 incremental backup operations, to reduce the risk from disk corruptions.
Of course, this is for R2.

In Windows Server 2008, there are several reasons which may cause the backup to be full instead of incremental
1. Backup on the target is deleted/not present.
2. Source volume snapshot is deleted, from which the last backup was taken.
3. 7 days have passed or 6 incremental backups have happened since the last full backup.
4. Churn on the backup source is high (more than 50%)

Windows Small Business Server 2008 c000021a 0x00000000 wusa

Good day (well hopefully it improves...),
I initially got a BSOD 0xc00000f which chkdsk sorted then I ran into 0xc000000f which I got around by restoring backup hives. 0xc000000d was in there somewhere as well which, if I remember this whole process order correctly, I ran bootrec
/rebuildbcd. But now it's choking up with c000021a 0x00000000 which seems to be caused by Windows updates, this makes sense as the machine has been running for 3 years without error. I checked the windowsupdate.log and there are updates for
the last two days. I have noted them down and am trying to uninstall with: wusa /uninstall /kb:<number> but it doesn't seem to uninstalling as my prompt is available immediately and a windows pops up showing Windows Update Standalone Installer
help syntax.
I'm not a qualified Microsoft whatever, the above I've done according to searches.
Assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi Raennikja,
Based on your description, I understand that you have rebuild the boot configuration Data to solve a BSOD issue.
Then error c000021a was occurred. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Regarding to the 0xC000021A, please refer to the article:
Bug Check 0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED
Please temporarily disable third-party Anti-Virus software, check and update possible drivers. Then run
SFC /SCANNOW command to scan all protected system files. Please monitor the result.
Meanwhile, would you please let me know the detailed information of those updates which you can find and want
to uninstall? Such as KB numbers and so on.
By the way, if use
Last Known Good Configuration option, can help you to solve this issue?
In addition, regarding to BSOD issue, we need to analyze the crash dump file to narrow down the root cause of the issue. Please refer to the following KB.

About SQL 2008 on any Windows Small Business Server

Hi, I try to install only 1 Server, we need that server run all setting (manage) of domain controller, active directory and sql. Please let me know if its possible install SQL 2008 (What ever versión) on Windows Small Business Server what
ever year (2012, 2008, Etc.) without having problems with the domain controller, firewall, sharing the SQL to network computer and the Windows Server year and versión we need? Thank!

Hi,
Please refer to following article and check the operating system requirements for SQL Server 2008.
Hardware and Software Requirements
for Installing SQL Server 2008
Based on your description, I understand that you want to install the SQL Server on a DC.
For security reasons, it is recommended that you do not install the SQL Server on a domain controller. So, it would be better if you put the SQL server on a second server or a virtualized server rather than on the SBS itself.

Outlook 2013 Constantly Prompting For Credentials - Exchange 2007 - Small Business Server 2008

Hello, I am having a problem using Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Exchange 2007 with Outlook 2013. The issue is that a credentials box appears in Outlook 2013 when using there exchange account whilst connected to the domain. The box will randomly
prompt for user credentials, once the user credentials are entered it will either pop back up again and if you enter the details in again it will continue to pop up for around 4 or 5 times before accepting the credentials. It will then pop back up within 15
minutes and do the same thing, if you click "Cancel" on the box it will also go away and remain connected to exchange however a popup in the bottom right will appear asking for a password even though you can send / receive from the mailbox.
I have looked into this issue for hours and hours and still can not find a resolution, I have tried re-installing Office 2013 and re-creating the Outlook Profile as-well as as the Windows 7 Profile. I have checked through all the SSL certificates in IIS
and everything appear to be correct.
Is this a common issue? Is there anything I can do to further diagnose or fix this issue without having to try to re-install both the server and machine?

Hi James_wilson,
Any update?
Just additional, would you please let me know whether have installed all updates for Outlook 2013? If hasn’t, please install and then monitor the result.
Please also check if you enable
Always prompt for logon credentials setting in Outlook 2013.
If you enable this setting, please uncheck and check if this issue still persists. Meanwhile, please remove the old credential in
Credential Manager, then add again. Then monitor the result
By the way, please run the Exchange BPA on the SBS 2008 server and check if can find some issue.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Can I connect a Mac running Snow Leopard to Windows Small Business Server

I'm running the OSX 10.6.8 and want to connect to applications running on Windows Small Business Server 2008. Is this easy or difficult or impossible?

Most Applications intended to run in that fashion would provide a Mac client, a Windows client and a Server component, designed to interact and keep a Master database on the Server up-to-date. Custom database software could also be written for that environment. Perehaps there are options for your package to be used in that fashion, but it would have to be designed-in from the beginning.
A web Application could also run in that fashion, with only a Web Browser on each computer interfacing to the Server software, which would keep the Master database and allow multiple access over your local Network.

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

OSX 10.9 compatibility with Windows Small Business Server 2011?

Hi
I'm hoping someone here may be able to help me as our external server guys have been particularly unhelpful!
I'm the only Mac on a Windows server, which has recently been upgraded (??) to Windows Small Business Server 2011. I've recenty upgraded the work iMac to 10.9, but ever since the server change, I'm having intermittent dificulties saving files. Often, I get and error saying the file cannot be saved as I don't have permission to access the folder - which then worryingly REMOVES the file I'm trying to overwrite WITHOUT WARNING.
If I'm using Photoshop save for web, I get errors when clicking 'Save' to say that it can't, but does save the file, plus a second with a gibberish file name.
Most worryingly though, is that now on two occasions caused the iMac to crash and shutdown immediately, which is not good at all. Once was moving a file to overwrite another in the Finder, the second (today) was saving from Illustrator.
I'd noticed weird things with our old 2003 server before the switch and when I was still on 10.6 - mainly that my iMac was slow when connected (Adobe apps etc opened in a flash when unconnected, but took minutes when plugged in), but now I'm on 10.9 and the new server installed, these saving issues have arisen. (I ended up wiping the Mac and completely reinstalling everything to cure that slowness issue - never did find out what it was!).
The server guys are adamant that this has nothing to do with the server, and is all linked to my iMac - personally I'm not so sure, but I'm asking here to see if anyone else has had issues? It seems like some kind of permission problem? Do I need any special network settings for it to play nicely with the Windows server? My internet, email all goes through it, and I use it to store my work, but I'm not linked to any other server software in any way.
If anyone may have any clues to help I'd be really grateful!
Many thanks!
Ben

Thanks for the response - this is why I'm asking though- I can't see anything on the iMac which would be causing this, and saving files to a folder on a server is a pretty basic fuction, and I can't risk the crashes. I don't see how the iMac connection would be causing this, or for the files to 'vanish' but if it is the iMac settings I'll need to find a fix. Every one else is okay, but I'm the only one using this software and filetypes. Surely the Windows software would have some kind of instructions for connecting Macs?
I was hoping someone may have experience and if any additional network settings might be needed. I will check with Apple support also to see if they have any info, but thought I may get a good response here.
What I meant by the "server guys" is that's it's an external company we pay to look after it - so I'd hoped they might have at least looked into it for me, but it's a brick wall "We don't support Macs" response... which is why I think it's unhelpful - even though they supplied the software knowing it needs to have multiplatform support...
It's really frustrating.
And I hope nobody does insist I use Windows... please... I'd have to leave....
EDIT - "We"?? - Do you work for them!?

Compatibility with Windows Small Business Server

I bought an iMac recently and it's a revelation.
I have been getting p$%^&d off with my Sony Vaio + Windows 7 setup at our small business. All the usual rubbish, no need to list it.
So I bought a 15" Mac Book Pro for work, with Office 2008 (I have that on the home iMac and it's fine for my purposes).
We have Microsoft Small Business Server at the office. My question is will I be able to sync with that - i.e. store and retrieve my documents between the Mac and the server? Or do I need Parallels and Windows 7 on the Mac? Or have I screwed up?
Any pointers appreciated thanks!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
have a look at this http://www.applesource.com.au/how-to/soa/Connect-a-Mac-to-Windows-Small-Business -Server/0,2000451082,339287478,00.htm
While written for OSX 10.4 Tiger it should nonetheless be applicable for OSX 10.6 as well.
Hope it helps
Stefan

How long does Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 support?

Hi,
How long does Microsoft SBS 2008 (Vista like server installation)? At what time we have to upgrade our server?
Thanks,
Eddy

Hi Eddy,
Below article take you to support like cycle of SBS 2008.
http://support2.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=13231
You will not see exact support date mentioned here as the underlying component is a Windows 2008 server and if you take windows 2008 the extended support is still the year 2020 as per the below Microsoft article.
http://support2.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=12925
and life cycle of various Microsoft products can be cross checked at the below reference article:

Upgrade ?
I suggest you to plan upgrade based on your requirement ? What applications you are using on existing environment and what user need you are expecting ? based on these you need to plan whether you need to migrate to a new platform or not ? Also you need
to decide which version of Windows you want to migrate ? SBS version ? or Non SBS versions ( I mean other than SBS family).
You can see more details on Windows Essentials here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_Essentials

PDF Generator on Small Business Server 2008

Hi,
does anybody know if it is possible to run PDF Generator + MS Office 2007 on Small Business Server 2008? One client of mine asked me to install it, but I am unable to make it work.
Thanks,
--- Jaroslav

Jasmin,
well, this is true. I know PDF Generator works on Windows XP and it is also unsupported. I have seen PDF Generator works on Windows 2008 Server and it is also unsupported. If there is somebody here having PDF Generator working on SBS 2008, please let me know.
If I knew it works, I would spend time to make it working for the customer. If I know it don't work, I will not waste the time.

Connecting to Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard

Company recently upgraded from an old server to Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard. I would like to connect to a MS Exchange acct remotely through Entourage. I have used the settings provided by the IT dept but they are not working. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no upgrade path for OEM licensing. In addition, only SBS 2008 Standard can upgrade to SBS 2011 Standard, and there is no path to so
that from SBS 2011 Essentials. I am sorry to say that you may need a migration instead of an upgrade.
Best regards,
Susie
