• Windows Server 2003 STD Installation of PE 1950 freeze

  Hello

  I have a PE 1950 I'm trying to reinstall Windows Server 2003 STD. There a PERC 5 / i controller SCSI with a Raid 1 configuration. I've updated the Bios Dell 2.0.1 and the PERC 5 / i firmware to version 5.2.1 - 0067. I created and initialized from cd Dell Open manage Cd (V 5.2.0) and go through all the instructions. It copies the files from the Windows CD-ROM server hard disk, so he asked to restart. So I do, then the Windows installation screen rises, and the server hangs. The gray bar at the bottom of the installation is not upward to install a 3rd party SCSI driver. If I restart the server, it freezes again at the Windows screen.

  I ran an extented diagnostic systems on it, but she came back without error.

  I'm running out of ideas on how to get Windows Server 2003 is installed on this server. Ideas or comments will be appreciated.

  I would like to know how to install Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 Enterprise from a USB key, please.

  I'm not trying to run either on the USB key, I just need to know how to install from a USB key. I tried Multiboot, grub for DOS and other, but they do not seem to work :/

  I am going through a book that uses these two to form Microsoft MCITP: Server 2008 Administrator and if I could install these Via USB, this would save my records and a lot of hassle... basically just for convenience, as everything that I need will be on a stick * lol *.

  Otherwise, I'll have to use discs instead :)

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• What product Vmware is the best for several Windows Server 2003 and 2008 implementation

  Hi all

  I am just wondering that if I installed VMware on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003 Enterprize edition on VMware I was able to use more Ram installed, our server have 48GB of Ram but Server 2003 Standard allows only 4 GB max to use, to save money, I was wondering just if I can use the way I mentioned above.

  Looking at it, I think you have a misconception about the limitations of VMware, RAM and operating system. Your problem is that you see no more than 4 GB of RAM on your x 86 Server 2003 install? This is a limitation of the operating system - to use more RAM you need an operating system that can deal with the RAM.

  • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 86 edition then you will only be able to use the 4 GB of RAM, Windows Server 2003 Standard x 32 can process.

  • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 64 edition then you will be able to use the 32 GB of RAM that Windows Server 2003 Standard x 64 can process.

  • If you install VMware ESX, you can adjust your full 48GB of RAM and install multiple instances of Win 2003 Svr Standard, each of which can address 4 GB of your memory live available.

• Windows Server 2003 R2 vs. 2008 R2 vs. 2012 as a file server

  I use Windows Server 2003 R2. We have about 100 PCs that are connected to this server and using the network connection. We are planning to upgrade to the latest version. While I was looking for the comparison between Windows Server 2003 R2, R2 2008 and 2012.

  All items talk about new features like Hyper-V, Hyper v Replica, Active Directory, IIS etc. But I'm not using one of these. I mainly use it as a file server. So, I need to know the comparison of features related to it.

• Want to downgrade to genuine Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Server 2003 on my HP Pavilion DV4t-1600

  Hello

  IM struggling to downgrade my factory installed windows 7 to windows server 2003 on my HP Pavilion DV4t-1600

  Pls help me to do that and also provide me with changes to the BIOS (if any)

  Hi Virginia,

  If you have the full support for Windows Server 2003 (not an upgrade), your only option is to install clean (full). You can not downgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Server 2003. You must do a clean install. Back up your important files, start the Windows Server 2003 DVD and proceed with the installation as usual.

  Don't forget to mark this reply as useful if it helped you, and let me know what happens.

  I have Windows XP. Since May 15, when I open and close my PC, the same updates seem to be installed: Netframework 2.0 SP2 on Windows server 2003 and Windows XPx86 KB2804577 and successfully installed several times per day, approximately 33 in total so far. Is it OK? How can I stop it?

  In this time (also some time before)

  When I open my PC a pop up displays: generic process for win 32 services... to allow or not allow.

  Then: I have not authorized it.

  I will allow, when he will appear again?

  and that's why the same safety NET Framework 2.0 appears again and again, when I open and close the PC?

  What should I do?

  Dot Net 2.0 has an update to 'fix' his kb928365

  Also, the 2.0 is old enough, have you tried to update for .net 3.0 or 3.5

  Try this link to update 2.0, youre problems will probably end.
