  I need help for the upgrade of my current system.

  I have SBS 2008 with (Exch 2007, SQL 2005, Sharepoint, backupexec 2010 for sbs) licenses.

  I want to make the larger environment using the following:

  (1) apply Virtualization

  (2) apply to the failover process (clustering)

  "(3) the environment must support adding server terminal server, ERP server, exchange server, domain controller, backup manager.

  Storage 4) that supports Raid (1 and 5)

  UTM excellent 6) that supports (SSL VPN, VPN Global)

  suitable backup solution 7)

  (8) good antivirus for clients

  my questions:

  (1) can you provide me with a good design for this environment

  (2) should I choose what operating system:

  Microsoft datacenter or company

  I know datacenter provide us the unlimited VM but needs per processor license

  so if I have two Grouped servers I want to buy 4 licenses

  and just 4 VMs per company license... to say that we have two servers and maintain 8 vms so wat happened if 1 goes down... How can I migrate the 4 virtual machines on the server failed to another server group... ? should I buy enterprise license?

  (3) if I get the SAN storage for data... How can I save this storage... should I get another SAN?

  (4) how can I upgrade SBS stad single server (windows standrad) without losing the licenses as Exch 2007, SQL 2005, sharepoint.is it a must to buy an edition full std server or there is a way to upgrade (license wise, I mean)?

  (5) what about win2k8 license for VM:

  lets say we have physical that has windows license so that enough to have windows for VM or should I buy windows for VM licenses?

  (6) can I use backExec license for SBS with windows 2008 standard

• A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

  Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
  I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

  * Some info first.*

  CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
  Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

  * Questions.*

  1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

  3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
  If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

  > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
  The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

  > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
  But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

• General questions about the upgrade

  Hello

  I have aquestion about the upgrade,

  When I did an upgrade from windows 7 home ultimate version or another for example windows 8.

  3 when I do an upgrade must I pay online for the new version?

  answers very short wil suffice.

  Thank you

  1. your files should be kept in an upgrade, but we always recommend making a backup to be sure.

  2. your software will be kept, but as with #1 above, we recommend to always have your install CD/file available to be safe in case you need it.

  3. you can buy the edition of Windows 8 Upgrade from a store or online, Yes. It is not free.

• Need help with the upgrade of the WLAN on Satellite Pro 6100 minipci card

  Hello everyone, I desperately tried to update my WIRELESS card on my laptop SP6100, since it was delivered with a card minipci wifi-b, which is not fast enough today. s standards.

  Each piece of the Toshiba official documentation mention the SP6100 has a mini-PCI type 3a slot, so can accommodate two minipci card a type 3a and 3B wifi.
  But unfortunately for me, I discovered the hard way that it is absolutely NOT the case - I was put back by a fortune by buying costs for a type3 intel minipci wifi card, which does NOT at all on the laptop.

  I spent an hour in unnecessary calls to the customer service from Toshiba, that I had to convince PCMCIA certainly isn't the same as miniPCI, and Mini - PCI cards ARE CERTAINLY replaceable by the user. She insisted that she could not be changed by the user of the system, but by toshiba themselves.

  Could someone please please advise me on the type of wifi card that are built with the SP6100 laptops? I think is it AGERE brand, in the form of WLAN minipci card. I know that it IS certainly NOT miniPCI type 3.

  Help, please! Thank you.
  And besides, every place that I tried so far appears only sell type3 miniPCI cards,
  Other types of Mini-PCI cards are available to retail customers?

  Infinite thanks!

  Hello

  You must understand that your model of laptop is quite old and right now the market wasn't available standard b. I'm pretty skeptical that you will be able to use the standard WLAN with G maps due to compatibility issues. On this forum, I founded several threads that people write about the problems of upgrading older models of laptops with the new wireless network cards.

  In my opinion the best solution for you is to use a PCMCIA WLAN card. The installation should be easy and you can use the wireless network with faster data transfer adapter.

• When is MS stop support Vista service pact 2 and a few questions about the upgrade to the new version

  Hello comrades,.

  I have a few questions and concerns, and hope that you guys can share with me some lights here.

  1. What is MS stop supports the Covenant of service about the update of windows Vista 2 / other online support?

  2. my computer is vista based 32 bit, ultimate version. I heard that there are a lot of wonderful things about Windows 8. Should I move to Windows 8, or should I actually wait awhile then buy a new computer with Windows 8 64 bit attached?

  Honestly, it's a question that has been bothering me for some time. But my laptop is 4 GB of RAM, 1920 x 1080 HD display, 300 GB HARD drive at 5400 RPM (cost me a lot - it's a SONY) and have been works very well even with vista, the operating system highly complainted by many others. I think it would be a waste to buy a new computer, including the so-called net-books and i - PAD, I know, they are beautiful and sexy, but looking at their record, I was speechless. Yet knowing 32bits was maximum and MS has already announced that they stopped support for Vista SP1, consider that SP2 is expected online.

  3. how long do you 32-bit based can last? Should I increase the RAM of 4 GB to 6 GB and upgrade to Windows 8?

  4. How about 64-bit based of the future? Or is it true that most of the computer manufacturing starts in the future these application device of the base (not the real computer-driven software)?

  5. or should I forget it all, wait 3-4 years, until my laptop would be a museum piece, then buy a desktop computer which monitor and hard drive is all separated, knowing it is the best technique for the $s and phone for mobile computing laptop use there?

  I understand that this is somewhat a personal decision, but I really appreciate you guys Preview on the path of the operating system! Thank you

  Yes it will work to buy a copy upgrade of Windows 8.   This is a custom installation rather than an upgrade in place once you switch between 32-bit and 64-bit.  However you can still save money by buying the upgrade license.

  More important is that all the drivers you need will be available.  Your computer manufacturer will not write drivers for Windows 8 because the computer has been out of production far too long.

  Windows 8 is a significant departure from previous versions and I suggest that you upgrade to Windows 7 If you are tired of Vista or wait until you buy a new computer before Windows 8.  You read the discussions on the forums of Windows 8 CP.  At this point, there are many critics of Windows 8 due to the removal of the Start button and Start Menu.  Many people dislike having to rely on style Metro Screen start for many things.  It is becoming a major concern.

  To navigate to the Windows 8 CP forums use in the middle of the dropdown at the top of this forum page.

  Note:  Microsoft has not announced that there will be copies upgrade for Windows 8.  Microsoft has already stopped providing copies of upgrade of Office is not yet clear what will be available for 8.

• The upgrade of my desktop pc from HP a1540n for photo editing

  Hi all

  I am currently running Win XP SP2 on desktop HP a1540n; System specs are here:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00679533

  After you have maxed out my RAM (4x1Go), the system has worked well for me for about 4 years.  However, I'll buy a new 36 MP digital camera and need to upgrade the operating system to a minimum (for Vista or Windows 7) to take over some of s/w that I use for photo editing. At the same time, I am considering a few hardware upgrades as well to improve the speed of the system (I work with large files).

  I'm looking for options in order to make the system work and, if $ allow to improve performance.  I would like some advice on whether if it is worth upgrading the hardware or just bite the bullet and withdraw from the newer system for somethng.

  Option 1: OS upgrade only, pref for Win 7; cost: ~ $140

  Option 2: upgrade MB (with processor), optionally add a video card. upgrade cost:?

  Option 3: new system; cost: ~ $1000.

  Option 2 makes any sense?  So I hate to waste the old h/w, I'm not sure whether this option is profitable.  Can the remaining material (power supply, etc.) support and are working properly with the motherboard more recent or other improvements will be necessary as well (in addition to the OS)?  I will be attaching multiple drives (some new, some existing); a new MB give me USB3 ability, or is it a separate addon?

  All advice/recommendations would be appreciated...

  -Rob

  Rob, welcome to the forum.

  This is one of the most difficult situations to address.  The upgrade can be a good option if the original components are even more recent.  However, a computer that is 6 years old becomes a dinosaur.  As a result, purchase new may be a much better option.  If you can afford the $1,000, I think you would advance money.

• Already bought an Alienware 14 - curious about the upgrade of the screen

  Is it possible to have the monitor on my Alienware 14 updated? I was hoping to increase the resolution of 1366 x 768. I was wondering about getting a slab IPS 300 nits 1080 p set in after seeing an article on the point. I was also wondering on a matte screen vs glossy screen. I use the laptop inside in general.

  Now I've noticed a few rasterized textures on my screen and I was hoping to just get a level would lead it up to the same quality as my desktop computer monitor.

  So, is it possible to upgrade the monitor after the purchase, ideally through dell, or do I have to use a third party? Secondly, what would be the cost and it would alter the warranty if I by dell (such as differing from the guarantee of original purchase value of the laptop).

  I tried Googling, couldn't find much about it. I would really appreciate any information or even advice on what type of monitor to upgrade to.

  I think the number of spare parts and updates is 1-800-357-3355.

• Questions about the upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1

  I posted the following to the thread in the forum of Vsphere upgrade, and in five days I got ZERO responses. Perhaps more here and even here is the wrong place to post things, or maybe I'm not questions easily answer. I'll post it here too, since it mainly Virtual Center, I think. Maybe someone can help me or tell me what is the problem with my announcement that allows to go unanswered. Here we go:

  I'm about to upgrade my little (1 4 host ESX and Virtual Center) environment vSphere 4.1 and 5.1.  My database to the virtual Center lives on a separate SQL server 2008R2 server. My virtual Center Server is virtual, if that matters. I have upgraded my licenses and read the documentation, to try to formulate a plan that escapes enough causing any downtime for my virtual machines.

  I am designing a series of steps that are all pretty low, and such that each step does not harm anything, whereas if I have problems, I can take my time to solve. Then, when this step is stable, I can continue to the next step. I want to tell you what I have in mind, ask a question here and there and hope you can report errors that I make and answer my questions. The big picture is:

  1 Virtual Center update and give him a few days to show me any problem before doing anything else.

  2. upgrade to a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Convince me things are okay, before you do more.

  3. put to level the other three 4.1 ESX hosts. Make sure that everything is fine.

  4 create new LUNS, formatted with the new VMFS, move my VM to them and remove the old one.

  If there is nothing wrong with this basic plan, please let me know.

  More details and questions:

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  I would greatly appreciate all advice and attention that you may have.

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  If your environment is small you can run all these in one and ofcouse if you execute all these in a server you need more RAM... There is no limit.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  normally if you think only in terms of scalability, it is good to have separate these things... He is sure no questions evey thing won't work if you install it on the same server also.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? No, but talk about Client 5.1 Virtual Center 4.1

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  these steps are ok

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  BLI, or DRAC suites method what ever you... very well.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Installing esxi will not hurt of thing... to the old VMFS... It will ask to keep or to format the old vMFS... BUT I prefer to remove the cables... BECAUSE we are humans...

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  no need... . If the hardware is on the HCL, I mean the firmware/driver etc... for the esx is on the HCL, then no problem...

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  assign the new LUN and create VMFS and migrate... It'S her!

• Need help with the upgrade/reload iPhoto

  iPhoto constantly crashed when I opened it.  He didn't stay open long enough to even load the library.   By reading the forum I found what I thought might work, so I've renamed it my library (which is more than 300 gig) "OLD iPhoto library" and put it on my desk.   So I uninstalled iPhoto.   I reinstalled iPhoto from my iLife 11 disc.   When I tried to open my library, it says that it cannot open because I used a new version of iPhoto in the past.   Then I checked and there is an upgrade.   Tried several times to upgrade but after a few minutes the upgrade it is said that the upgrade could not complete because of an error.

  I told my new iPhoto to start a new library, and then I dragged my old library on it.   He said he was "preparing to download" - then he warned me that there was not enough space so I want to continue?   I said 'no '.   My HDD is 500 gig.  My iPhoto library is 314 concert.   He obviously cannot reproduce itself on the same hard drive.

  So now, I can't have my old library of photos.

  Can I move my old library on an external hard drive, which could free up space on my internal hard drive, I guess.   Then I could copy it?   Who is?

  Any ideas?

  I use OS 10.8.5. This MacBook Pro is pretty old and I know that if I upgrade to Yosemite or El Capitan, some of my programs do not work - so I've been turned off of the upgrade of the OS.   Should I do it?

  iPhoto constantly crashed when I opened it.  He didn't stay open long enough to even load the library.

  Older versions of iPhoto on Mt. Lion keep crashing for a few months. This is because iPhoto can't access Google's servers for the functionality of the site. If you have photos with assigned places, iPhoto will crash, as soon as you open the Panel information for them. See this tip for the user:

  iPhoto 9.4 crashing during playback of the scene

  You can not iPhoto completely rework on Mt. Lion.  You can stop it just from crashing by disabling the feature patch places the iPhoto application.  To correct the iPhoto your best bet would be to restore the version of iPhoto you had your backup, and then change the iPhoto application as described in the user above trick.

  Or upgrade to El Capitan and Photos for Mac:

  Apple has stopped support for print as well.  It's time to move to El Capitan and Photos for Mac, or to find another replacement for iPhoto.

  I reinstalled iPhoto from my iLife 11 disc.   When I tried to open my library, it says that it cannot open because I used a new version of iPhoto in the past.   Then I checked and there is an upgrade.   Tried several times to upgrade but after a few minutes the upgrade it is said that the upgrade could not complete because of an error.

  How have you tried to upgrade?  use the Apple Support page accession, not the updates since the AppStore - they do not work any longer for iPhoto.

  I told my new iPhoto to start a new library, and then I dragged my old library on it.

  This way you do not upgrade and open the library you have imported all the photos into a new library. This does not work, because all the thumbnails and previews will be imported as separate photos, duplicate. You have ti first day to lat version you had once again, then open the old library by double-clicking it.

• Suggestions and Questions about the upgrade my Hardrive Mac and Ram.

  Hi This is my first time asking something in the forums. (At least I think) Well anyway, I got the Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 "with the retina also runs the OS El captain. I do computer for school and sometimes animation video editing and ive noticed some performance as my projects get bigger and bigger issues. I want to improve my mac, but I'm not very tech savy and don't want to do something useless, so I had a few questions, I wanted to ask you.

  Do I need for my hard drive and my Ram?

  What effect will the upgrade of my Ram and what effect will be upgrading my hard drive with an SSD?

  I saw this SSD online and thought of novice opion that sounds get Id more bang for my buck (link) with her. Is this good? What more to kill? WiIll it still works? Could you suggest some other good affordable options?

  My next question if I decide to upgrade my Ram can provide you with some good affordable links to buy of new RAM sticks, is also 8 GB, the best he can do?

  My next question I watched a few videos online and by installing the updates level looks really easy and fast. But I use bootcamp (to play games sometimes), and I wanted to know if I save my files on my drive as ive seen people do videos, (something to wipe the drive and put it back in after installing updates) will be I lose my windows 7, I lost the disc to reinstall and he check so I really want to buy a new also do not want to lose the things I put in memory.

  From the retina MacBooks you is impossible to pass the ram as it is soldered to the logic board. As with the hard drive, it's just a card ssd and you can't get those anywhere because their hard to find.

• Questions about the upgrade to the 4.0 unit

  Hi all

  I have a few questions before the server upgrade to 4.0 to 3.1.3 and install a new Server 4.0. We currently have 7 servers unit all current 3.1.3 running with digital networks. We are planning to upgrade a Server 4.0 and install a new server with 4.0 costs. This is the beginning of the upgrade of the entire company and my questions are the following:

  1 will update the AD schema during the installation/upgrade to 4.0 problems with the 3.1.3 other servers?

  2 since there isn't that one account of the unit currently with the 3.1.3 configuration, creating 4 new accounts unit cause any problem or should I / can I use the current to the unityadmin the unit account or one of the other 3 new accounts? I would like to start over again with 4 new accounts and not use the current service account and migrate to new accounts during the upgrade other servers.

  3. is there a problem to have 3.1.3 servers running jointly with 4.0 servers in general?

  My impression is that this is very well that I would no problem to start the 3.1.3 servers alongside with 4.0 servers, there should be no problem to use new accounts of the unit and this update of the AD schema should not be a problem for the old servers, but I want to make sure before doing the update/install.

  Oh, it's all run with Exchange 2000.

  Thanks for your time!

  Keith

  (1) it is backward compatible

  (2) creation of 4 new accounts will be fine.

  (3) you can run 3.1 (x) alongside with 4.x

• Questions about the upgrade memory for gateway P55C-200

  It comes from an old computer from 1997. I'm trying to update and upgrade for the treatment of text and with older games who have worked on it, even if a bit slower that I liked. MDK is a favorite. I add that a little more RAM will help. It has windows 95 on it. He is currently in good working condition. I have a perfectly good printer and a scanner that I can't use it on my other computers with operating systems newer, but which works well on this one. The computer has a card? IRE 32meg with a spare slot, CPU Pentium 200 HZ and a 4G IDE hard drive.

  What type of card m? IRE this computer accepts it and how can I add? The existing memory card has no info about it. I visited the manufacturing sites of memory several, and they come in white for this computer only. I think maybe it's SDRAM PC66, but I don't know. Any information would be appreciated.

  I just ordered two 128 meg sticks, clock 4, CL3, PC66. Who will be my max at the limit of my system to 256 meg. I still don't know whether or not the card memory factory was PC66, as there was no label on it, and my manual is non-specific, because it covers a group of computers that use the same series of motherboard. The seller did some research and said the Board recommended will work for me. He gave me a link http://panam.gateway.com/s/motherbd/intel/m00260/m0026023.shtml that my Board is covered by the listed series. I guess in a week or so I'll know. Thank you all for your help.

• Question about the upgrade memory for my Satellite M40-307

  Sorry for the newbie question. But if I have 512 MB of memory for the time being, what are my upgrade options?

  Do I have to buy pairs of memory? So I can or buy 2 x 1 GB = 2 GB, or 2 x 512 MB = 1 GB + 512 existing. Or can I say just buy a single 512 MB or 1 GB chip?

  Since no one wants to answer:
  1. check if your laptop supports Dual Channel Ram (it should be, but just see the manual to be sure)
  2. knowledge of what type of RAM you have. This will add or remove a possibility of upgrade

  The thing with Dual Channel is, that you have the best performance if you use 2 RAM of the same type (really of the same type: company, size...)
  you could:
  3. Add a 512 MB of RAM of the same type you have
  3 b. buy 2 pieces of new RAM of the same type (1 GB + 1 GB, or 2 + 2 GB) and do not forget that your laptop supports this quantity (once again: manual to check)

  You will also find in the manual, if your computer supports DDR or same DDR2 RAM (faster)

  If you have lost your manual, you can download it here on the toshiba Web page

  I hope I could help a little.
