• Index of the Windows Search Service on a file server used by Citrix/TS clients?

  Am really struggling to tackle this and write the change command of this place.

  If we have a file server to Server 2008 R2 with the installed file server role and the role or function of the Windows Search Service deployed (with IFilter filters and suitable for indexing added directories)-will be a Server 2008 R2 TS/Citrix user research their mapped drive using the index stored on the file server?  Or the index must be created on each server by connecting to the file server?  Can't seem to find an answer final yay or not in spite of several rounds of the documentation.

• How to install the ssl certificate in windows server 2008?

  Hello

  Can someone give me the steps to install the SSL certificate on my application hosted on windows server 2008 R2?

  Hello

  Although technet.microsoft.com should be the best forum for the problems of server below is a guide on how to install an SSL certificate.

  It will be useful.

  To install your newly acquired in IIS 7 SSL certificate, first copy the file somewhere on the server and then follow these instructions:

  1. Click on the start menu, go to administrativetools and click on Manager of Services Internet (IIS).
  2. Click the server name in the links on the left column. Double-click server certificates.

     

  3. In the Actions column to the right, click Complète Certificate Request...

     

  4. Click on the button with the three points, and then select the server certificate that you received from the certificate authority. If the certificate does not have a .cer file extension, select this option to display all types. Enter a friendly name that you can keep track of certificate on this server. Click OK.

     

  5. If successful, you will see your newly installed in the list certificate. If you receive an error indicating that the request or the private key is not found, make sure that you use the correct certificate and you install it on the same server that you generated the CSR on. If you are sure these two things, you just create a new certificate and reissue or replace the certificate. If you have problems with this, contact your certification authority.

     

  Bind the certificate to a Web site

  1. In the column of links on the left, expand the sites folder, and click the Web site that you want to bind the certificate to click links... in the right column.

     

  2. Click the Add... button.

     

  3. Change the Type to https , and then select the SSL certificate that you just installed. Click OK.

     

  4. You will now see the listed link for port 443. Click close.

     

  Install all the intermediate certificates

  Most of the SSL providers issue certificates of server out of an intermediate certificate so you will need to install the intermediate certificate on the server as well or your visitors will receive a certificate error not approved. You can install each intermediate certificate (sometimes there are more than one) by following these instructions:

  1. Download the intermediate certificate in a folder on the server.
  2. Double-click the certificate to open the certificate information.
  3. At the bottom of the general tab, click the install Certificate button to start the Certificate Import Wizard. Click Next.

     

  4. Select place all certificates in the following store , and then click Browse.

     

  5. Select the Show physical stores checkbox, then expand the Intermediate certificate authorities folder, select the below folder on the Local computer . Click OK. Click Next, and then click Finish to complete the installation of the intermediate certificate.

     

  You may need to restart IIS so that it starts the new certificate to give. You can verify that the certificate is installed correctly by visiting the site in your web browser using https rather than http.

• New life for a Compaq Presario SR2038X as a file server

  Hello and thanks in advance.

  The HD failed in SR2038X of my parents and I am the proud owner of a box filled with port, which I intend using as a server of inexpensive files with the following improvements:

  1. (2) 1.5 TB WD Cav Blk hard drives

  2 gigabit ethernet PCI card

  3 Ubuntu OS desktop

  Normally, the RAM would be my first upgrade, but I don't think it's necessary for a file server (correct me if I'm wrong, because the RAM can be maxxed fairly inexpensively in this machine).

  It comes, the MOTHER/CPU card will support these improvements? I'll have BIOS problems trying to install Ubuntu on a HP?

  I found this thread helpful with specifications and comments on other upgrades, but I'm not sure what is meant by 'HP Tattoo':

  Welcome to the forums. Your excellent links done much easiler to do this response.

  What I don't understand not all Ubantu, it is a BONE in the foot. (limited knowledge).

  Tattoo: The original box OEM OS (Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005) DVD + CD, as shown here:http://www.computersurgeons.com/SearchProducts.aspx?sbt=sr2038x&bkm=Results#Results

  Settle only if the computer is 100% at the factory. Make changes, IE the motherboard, graphics card, and it becomes risky. http://www.PCTOOLS.com/Forum/showthread.php?56905-HP-tattoo-question-about-hard-drive-and-motherboard

  But your does not do this, your installation of a new OS, not the OEM version which was tattoo'ed by the motherboard BIOS Eprom.

  Be sure that google you 'Gigabit ethernet PCI ubantu pilot' and find the driver chipset that matches your selection of card.

  I thank you for the challenge and hope I could help you.

• Problems to open PDF files after the upgrade of the file server for 2012 R2

  Hello

  This weekend we have improved our main Windows 2003 to 2012 R2 file server.

  Since the upgrade, users (including myself) cannot open a PDF of the file server.  If I double click on a PDF file, it opens as usual, but if I double click a different PDF, the acrobat reader flashes (in the Task Manager I can see another instance AcroRd32.exe starts and stops) but the second document does not open.

  If I close the first document and then try and open the other, and then it opens without any problem.

  This only affected the opening of files on the new file server, opening several files on a local disk is very good.

  If I disable 'enable protected mode at startup' then I can open several documents of the file server.  I would prefer not to have to do.

  Users are using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop.

  Does anyone have any ideas, it may be the cause?  And does anyone have one solution other than to disable the protected mode?

  Thank you

  Joe

• For VM file server backup plan

  Hello!

  I've recently implemented my virtual world with hosts 3 hp g7 and two p2000 msa storage.

  I'm moving my physical machines to virtual infrastructure (in fact I moved many of them)

  I think it is now time to plan a backup strategy

  I have about 15 servers (desktop, Terminal servers, servers for files, e-mail server, two domain controllers, and...)

  I also have an hp tape autoloader which is not yet operational

  for the storage of backups, I have about 6 hp 600 GB sff sas disks

  and the total size of virtual machines is about 2.5 to

  What backup and network strategy that you suggest?

  Some people say they use VDR and some say go to backupexec

  and one important thing is my file server (two), which hosts over 1 million office and CAD and... files (their size is about 1 to 10 MB)

  and the information is very important

  What do you suggest me in this regard?

  should I back up these files separately from the virtual machines (for example using normal windows backup) or it is better to save the entire vm?

  I have to say that many times we need some specific file backup (some DOC or Excel for example) so the backup should be able to quickly extract to give me these files.

  Thank you very much and sorry if my question is General somehow.

  any suspicion or guide lines can help me a lot

  Thank you very much

  2 options.

  Assuming the following.

  Server A

  OS VM stored on SAN DISKS

  Backup OS VM stored on ESXi host as data store local DISK

  Backup device VM stored in the Local data store

  Backup storage of data 1 of SAN 1 on other materials (iSCSI or NFS)

  All disks should use RAID levels other than RAID 0.  RAID 0 would be a disaster. Any disk could fail and put everything down.

  Best gear RAID 1, 10. More space RAID 5

  Openfiler iscsi or NFS supports and works well as a storage target for backup VM aware applications.

  If you have not used linux so openfiler would be a good start, Web interface and install as an application.

  for the best performance with NFS linux requires more effort.

  Copy of tape using openfiler can be a challenge. I did not use backup to tape over the years.

  Configuration of the network and all the hardware to support Gigabit connections and frames. You can also configure the network connections dedicated backup server openfiler appliance. If multiple NETWORK cards would be useful.

• New virtual file server using an existing virtual disk

  Hello world

  Recently, I update our hosts ESX3.02 3 vSphere4. Everything went well

  I am now trying to build new Server 2008 R2 64-bit virtual machines. I just finished the print server and am now looking at the level of the file server.

  I created the virtual machine and configured the latter as I want with a boot partition and the C drive with the installed operating system... The next step is to sort the data side, i.e. the readers of corporate network. Rather than create and assign the new virtual disks to the new server and a data copy server current to the new, I think a much more simple and less time would be to point to my new file server on the virtual disks of current servers, then assign drive letters in Windows Server.

  I suspect that it is not possible to have two servers sharing the discs at the same time, but this isn't a problem that, off hours, I close the current, start a new, point to the current virtual disks, assign letters D and E test and then delete the old file server.

  Is this possible and if so what are the implications re file sharing, permissions etc.? The current folder and the file ACL to stay?

  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  You are right. You can detach a disk from a Windows VM and attach it to the other. You can "do simultaneously, unless you use some sort of cluster management system.

  About the ACL, I am not able to guarantee that they will continue, but I think that NTFS is "good enough" to do this.

• VMWare ESXi 4 as a file server?

  Hello

  Got a server on VMWare ESXi 4, currently with a virtual more to come Linux machine.

  My goal is to use the server as a server from file/place of storage within the network of the company but also to test the environment (this is what I need several virtual machines for).

  My question is: is it possible to use ESXi 4 as a file server separately from the installed virtual machines? Or do I have to use one of the virtual machines as a storage place? If Yes, is there some way I can connect to this storage place WITHOUT using VMWare vSphere (that I currently use to manage the server)? Say, add network drive from Windows on the desktop.

  Those who resembles a fundamental questions for me however I am quite newbie here so I'm not really sure what can be done

  See you soon

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  As far as I KNOW, no, you cannot use VMware ESXi itself as a storage/file server.

  You must use VM in it and this VM should get this service to another customer.

  So you want to use this host (ESXi) as your test environment (put some VM on it to test it), you should pay attention to your bandwidth and the e/s, may be the test VM needs a lot of bandwidth or i/o and if your host may not respond to all virtual machines must (file server and test virtual machines) you will see a low performance.

  If I'm missing something; Please correct me, thank you.

• Application has permissions to add/file server-side streams

  I installed the FMS on Linux.  I'm trying to record video from webcam to a flex application and save them server side, to a possible posting to YouTube.

  I installed the 'live' application in the path "record".  In my flex code, I do:

  NC. Connect ("rtmp://ipaddr.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/live/record");

  It connects very well, so I have:

  NS. Publish ("camtest", "record");

  It fails with NetStream.Record.NoAccess.  Server side, he said

  Accepts a connection from IP:xx.xx.xx.xx, sponsor:, pageurl:
  Application does not have permissions to add/file server-side streams; access denied to the camtest stream.

  I have LIVE_DIR in my conf/fms.ini file in/mnt/live.  This directory exists and is writable, so I'm not sure what's going on.  Are there any other permission that I'm missing?  Is it just the wrong application?  That you used for registration of netstream?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Since you are using the developer version, you should be able to record. Just check the permission of the directory of the application that you created. Make sure you have permission to write to it.

• Library of photos on a NAS file server?

  Hi guys,.

  We are about to move to OS 10.11 and therefore immune from iPhoto in Photos.

  A NAS file server currently holds all of our image files; on our different Macs iPhoto libraries have albums and lists that refer to these images, but the original files are only on the server. We have more than 300 GB of images. iCloud is therefore out of the question for the storage of files.

  We want to continue to keep our files image centralized on the file server, accessed by our different Macs. Is this possible with pictures? We are confused by the fact that almost all the discussions of Photos mentions iCloud at one time or another. ICloud is mandatory for the Photos and if so why?

  Thanks in advance

  John / Bauatelier

  iCloud is not mandatory.  It is an option to synchronize photos between several devices that are connected to the same iCloud account.

  Although technically Photos can function as a reference library with some source files on a NAS server is not a stable configuration.  It is not nearly as robust that Aperture was referencing Server source files.  Most of the users end up with a library damaged at some point.

  If you want a reliable library then consolidate your library of Photos into a managed library and put it on your boot drive or on an external HD which is being shaped as shown in this screenshot and directly connected to the Mac by USB cable, Firewire, or Thunderbolt.

  

  If you want to use the iCloud photo library to sync with all your devices, you will need to purchase enough storage iCloud to house the library and should read these Apple before committing to the iCPL:
