  • Cannot use RDP with Windows server 2008

    Original title: a user cannot RDP

    Hello

    I have a windows 2008 R2 server with 5 licenses of Terminal Server. I set it up so that users can RDP to the server using RDP and access other machines via VNC, it's not connetced to a domain or whatever it is.
    All users can connect using any OS - Win XP, Win 7, but a user cannot get to their place of work - I can connect from home, of Germany, etc. using the same user name and password, but they can get on the server but their access is denied.
    They can telnet to the IP address but can't.

  • Can I use the product windows XP from my old CPU key to downgrade my new processor from Vista to XP?

    Vista to XP question

    Can I use the product windows XP from my old CPU key to downgrade my new processor from Vista to XP?

    N ° decommissioning requires installation of XP from an XP installation cd and a retail product key.  If XP is preinstalled on the old computer, the product key on the label is valid for the copy of XP OEM is installed on your old computer, even if it is still on the old computer.   An OEM license is not transferable to any other computer.

    Before you plan to install XP on your new computer you must visit the manufacturer's Web site to see if the XP drivers are also available.

    You are not required to save the files in the creative cloud.

    Storing files online is simple and an additional service, but there are several advantages:

    • Your file is saved online in which case the file is accidentally deleted locally or your hard drive fails.
    • Previews of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop files in the web browser for someone who doesn't have these programs and would not be able to view the image file.
    • Share the file with another allowing them to comment on and download.

  • License with Windows Server 2008 Guest OS.

    Hello

    I installed on a host (System Dell R810) vSphere with 24 physical cores with hyper-threading. If I install a Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition/64-bit, on the physical hardware, I see 48 processors.

    I would like to convert this system into a system in a virtualized with vSphere environment. Assuming that I buy enough licenses VMWare, which is the maximum number of VMWare virtual cores I can refer to various OS comments? Also, if I have the Windows Standard edition, which is the maximum. number of virtualized hearts would be the guest operating system, see?

    Also, is there a document describing how licensing works and how things refers to a VMWare deployment.

    Thank you.

    http://www.VMware.com/download/EULA/multicore.html

    VMware licenses is based on the number of Sockets in the box... carrots.

    Here is a short breakdown in licensing requirements.

    ESXi free-4 core support only.

    Software licenses with hearts of six (6) by restriction of processor: vSphere Essentials, vSphere Essentials Plus, vSphere Standard and vSphere Enterprise

    Twelve software licenses (12) cores per CPU restriction: vSphere Advanced and vSphere Enterprise Plus

    Microsoft licenses - depends on the day: o)

    It's your best reference. - http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/E/C/EECF5D44-9A88-43D8-AFDB-D2AB82BE035C/Win%20Server%20Lic%20Book%20customer%20hi-res.pdf

    Windows Standard - for each license, you get a single virtual machine.

    Windows Enterprise - for each license, you can run 4xVM

    Windows Datacenter - you register each Jack in the box (like VMware) - run as VM of this family of products that you can (IE, Windows 2008, Datacenter Edition allows all x Windows 2008 flavours).  I'm not positive is a Windows 2008 R2 allows to downgrade to Windows 2008 flavors as well.  So I guess.

    My recommendation - pony up the money and get data center and then laugh if Microsoft comes audit because you don't care.

    SQL 2008 licensing - read carefully - it changes and is confusing.  Best to call the Microsoft license program to be positive.

    Limitations of VMware – you can create within a VM CPU 8. However if you need that many cores... rethink its acceptability of virtualization.  See #5, and then read it again.

    Now, just throw in the standard practices and answering the questions I know you will come back and ask.

    #1-non, it has no USB support in a virtual machine.  You can't attach an external drive to your VM.  Look at the IP/USB devices for the solutions for this.

    #2-Si you create a larger hardware RAID array then 2 TB it won't work.  Each virtual disk/LUN/table/Container (to use the terminology whaever) needs to be more boy then 2 TB-512bytes (use 1.99 TB to be sure). RDM, also, cannot be greater then 2 TB.  In addition, I recommend to use initiator ISCI inside the virtual machine.

    #3-la recommendation is to try to stay in the range of 10-20 VMS per VMFS volume (much busy VM can cause scsi reservation issues).  He got much better then you can push the limits (wait for RParkers response when he sees it: o))

    #4-you can create multiple VMFS volumes and join them together to make a larger VMFS volume.  Strongly discouraged

    practical #5-bonnes of virtualization - forget what you know about the allocation of resources.  Start a Windows 2008 VM with 1 GB/Max 2 GB of RAM and a single processor.  ONLY increase CPU/RAM after you have determined you must.  Least CPU multiple VM's best for planning

    average #6-sursouscription is usually 4-5 WHAT VM by heart, but of course it depends on the load and SMP VM

    #7-do not ask solution best backup (of the beginning of war) - your typical responses are going to be Veeam, Vizioncore, esXpress as 3 all with scripts and a few others mentioned (like VDR).  Try them all (this way you can get backups and not pay for at least 90 days: o))

    #8-don't freak out cause of your VM Windows 2008 allows you to use all of the memory of your host immediately.  Until you use all of the memory, the virtual machine will be uuse large pages (which is good for performance).  Once that oversubscribe you too far, they will all move to 4 k pages, and your memory usage will drop dramatically.  After that, when the memory is the most... you are done... not go further: o)

    There are literally hundreds, but if getting vmware these tips here sticky would be we would have probably two times fewer threads and a much higher quality content.  Of course, #3, #6 and #7 will probably provoke a debate already.  I apologize in advance.
