Material for a few Windows 2008 SBS

Hello!

I planing building a server to host a few servers to Windows SBS 2008 and perhaps less certain resource hungry VMs, wich I will allow for some of my clients on my network.

Each VM will have quite a few users, about 4 to 10 users per virtualized SBS 2008.

The minimum requrement for a normal installation of sbs 2008 is a 64-bit CPU and 4 GB of ram.

I wonder what kind of material I should look for, and if we run a similar crowd and can give me a few guidelines for material.

How much ram and cpu required for leash rather have a host with 8 virtual machines running Windows 2008 Small Business Server

Disk configuration and the e/s flow is going to be your biggest problem. Too bad you can't get the G6, I would even hold off and get a date, or import an If you must, but get a support package in place in case where if hardware problems. The G5 is old enough and a little more, you get much more for your money.

Not played with Raid 10 really, would seek to Raid 1 for swap and log disks and Raid 5 for o/s and the data on the disks generally.

The other problem with the G5 is that they provide 4 x 1 GB DIMMS, which are a disposable waste in a server with only 8 slots, the G6 gives you 18 slots in order to get more memory by buying more small bags...! 18 x 2 GB instead of 4 GB and a mixture more is possible...

32 GB should do you find - you can see how the memory usage Gets and add virtual machines more later and keep an eye on things. I'm tempted to get a quad core now and add another later but closely related memory the CPU you get better ones optimized at the beginning...

The G5 really limits your options of disc 8 disc, not bad for on all axes but it's SBS VMs not standard we are talking about. Another good reason to ask your dealer gets a G6 in pronto! You can get 300GB 2.5 "drives now for the G5, it's another option...? !

  • VCenter 4.1 update - support for 64 bit Windows 2008 R2

    Hi, I was wondering if VCenter 4.1 supports Windows 2008 R2 64-bit?  OR if it supports up to Windows 2008 64-bit (Service Pack 2)?

    Noticed a large number of entries of knowledge, but many of them are former comments so just look for the current level of support.

    Thank you

    HCC says:

    My SQL Server 2005 is external and I executed the script to check the inconsistencies and that returned nothing, so I guess I can just run the datamigration for backup tool and install the VCenter on the new hardware.

    There is no need to run the data migration tool.  You connect to an external DB, that identify only in your installation.  The schema will be upgraded and your inventory will be back as usual.  Just make sure you have a full backup.

  • Ping issues - Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper v2008

    Hello

    I'm looking for a few windows networking procedure of experts here to solve these 2 problems.

    I'm very good in Linux but not in windows, networks than some basics on windows of course.

    I installed Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper-v 2008 on two machines different level of "WORKING group" because I'm small laboratory

    I done the settting up the ip addresses static, of the hostname (s) on those computers.

    Windows 2008 R2 => 192.168.1.60 - obiee

    Hyper-v 2008 => 192.168.1.61 - hyperv2008

    I have DNS running on 192.168.1.10 server and my linux local dns host: narayana.local

    I can ping linux boxes ping, ping hyperv2008 obiee hostnames - works perfectly

    I have a few problems in the windows operating system

    (1) i cannot set my computer full qualified domain name say obiee.narayana.local, hyperv2008.narayana.local - it can be a low priority

    (2) i don't can't ping using host names of these 2 machines - priority issue, I get a message

    C:\Users\Administrators > ping hyperv2008

    Ping request could not find the hyperv2008 of the host. Please check the name and try again

    = I can ping IP_address - works perfectly =

    (3) in view of these questions I can't control my hyper-v to obiee machine.

    Waiting for your early resolution

  • Multi Proc Windows 2008

    Use us many multi-proc machines so I was curious about the best practices for multi processor Windows 2008 conversion.  Is there the same limitations on adding and deleting of the processors were in 2003?    From my tests it looks like the PC ACPI x 86 or PC ACPI x 64 is used regardless of the number of processors that you are running.  Is this correct?    Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello.

    From my tests it looks like the PC ACPI x 86 or PC ACPI x 64 is used regardless of the number of processors that you are running.  Is this correct?

    I know that changing of 1 to 2 and then return only Exchange not the layer HAL in 2008.  I have not tried with more than 2 CPUs.  The limitations and the changes that have been in 2003 are certainly not during the passage of 1-2 or 2-1.

    In this TechNet article by Mark Russinovich, he explains the changes in 2008.  One of the quotes:

    "One of the changes to the low level system is that Windows Server 2008 includes only a version of the kernel designed to run on multiprocessor systems. In the past, Windows used a specific version for single processor on machines with a single processor, because this version could achieve slightly better performance by omitting the necessary synchronization only code in multiprocessor environments. As hardware has become faster, the gain of performance optimizations has become negligible, and most server systems today include more than one processor, making it a useless uniprocessor version. »

  • ESX 3.5 U4 and U5 for Windows 2008 R2

    Hello

    I have a few questions about upgrading ESX 3.5 U4 to ESX 3.5 U5.

    I have a farm with 4 ESX 3.5 U4 and I need to install several windows 2008 R2 guest OS so I need you to update to the U5. Is it possible to update a single ESX now to accommodate our new 2008 R2 servers and in a few weeks, to upgrade the rest of the ESX?

    I think it will turn off the AP and the vmotion for these comments specific (2008 R2) but what other hosts?

    Where is the update? Is it normal that I need to restart the ESX and boot to a CD?

    Concerning

    JAY

    Hi Jay0,

    I guess your question, you do not use the Update Manager?

    Why would you only upgrade on the host and other later? Are the hosts in the same cluster? I recommend that they all the same version, especially if they are in the same cluster HA.

    Although in the answer you're question about the pre 2008 R2 invited they works perfectly in a cluster with hosts U4 and U5 present.

    The ESX host will need a reboot, but there are faster ways to update your hosts to reinstall with a cd. You can either copy the update to the host and use esxupdate or my recommended method is to use Update Manager.

    Hope this helps

  • Flash Media Server 4.5 fails often when I log onto the service as administrator on Windows 2008 R2 for x 64

    I recently installed the Flash Media Server 4.5 on my Windows 2008 x 64 R2

    Whenever I try to restart the service as an administrator he starts giving problems such as making connection authenticated with Flash Media Encoder Live (I installed the x 64 plugin for authentication which is with v3.2 FMEL)

    Please can someone guide me why FMS 4.5 becomes unstable and buggy once I restart the Apache Server and Flash Media Service as an administrator! I need to host files on network drives so I need administrator access... If adobe don't like the administrator name then whats the alternative workaround, for example create usernames?

    Please Guide

    One of the solutions I've found is it's to say try doing all the three Services of Windows FMS ( Flash Media Server (FMS) ,Flash Media Administration Serverand FMSHttpd) in the few controller domain or at least the same administrator account.

    After doing this first manually stop Flash Media Administration Server. After the Administration Server stops now run the Flash Media Server (FMS), which should automatically launch the FMSHttpd (Apache) Service. Once the two are started, then try to start the Flash media Administration Server.

    To make sure that Flash Media Administration Service always begins LAST you can either use the manual Batch file in the boot sequence or can set the "Delayed start" option in the settings of Services.

  • YouTube videos are green for a few seconds when they start, quickly moving and switch between fullscreen and windowed mode

    suddenly, last night something happened with youtube. whenever I run a video on youtube its green for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal. its also green when I fast forward/jump and when I change between full screen and windowed. I linked to a screenshot of how it looks as if I googled this problem I find something else where people get a green screen but no picture at all and that it lasts the entire video.

    I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card. I tried to play on my nvidia card rather than use my intel graphics hd 4600 and still got the same result, but instead to get a green image, it was really dark almost black. I also tried to reinstall flash even downgrade to an earlier version, but nothing does. and the strange thing is that I only have this problem on youtube and only through firefox so I even tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not work either

    I found 2 things of this kind of help.
    the first solution is to disable hardware acceleration, but instead to get a green image for a few seconds, image frozen for the same period of time and then play and she is like when its Green, when I start it up, jump and change to full or windowed.

    the second solution I found in support for mozilla, to change the HTML5 player. But even if this player works great I really like it. for some reason any the break from the drive when I change between full screen and windowed mode and I don't like these pop-up windows get you that its now in full screen and I can press ESC to quit.

    These are just little things, but I would like to return the standard player.
    If anyone knows anything that could help me with this please let me know.

    This is the screenshot:
    http://i1285.Photobucket.com/albums/A584/JimZiii/1_zpsb3d41a08.PNG

    What a little wild speculation?

    YouTube uses a technology that has chopped videos in individual pieces, which is probably video serve more easily, but could create more opportunities for issues when moving in the video. There is an add-on called Center of YouTube that allows you to disable this technology and back to the days of one big file. Might be worth a try.

  • Search for content in pdf files stopped working after the migration of Windows 2008 Indexing Service

    Hello

    We have designed a search custom as an aspx page that uses the Indexing Service to search for content in a set a which coexist document types (doc, pdf, xls, etc.)

    We moved to a Windows Server 2003 Indexing Service to Windows 2008 and since the Indexing Service has stopped the search pdf files. The search returns only another type of pdf files.

    On the new server where the Indexing Service, I installed Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platform, I think it's the plugin the Indexing Service uses to find the content of pdf files.

    Does anyone got the Search Indexing Service content in PDFs on Windows 2008 server?

    Thank you

    Mihaela

  • Upgrade - Windows 2008 for Mac - Entourage from mountain lion.

    Hi, I have a MacBook Pro and just upgraded to snow Leopard Mountain Lion.

    I have also re-installed Windows 2008 for Mac and am having some problems that have been absolutely perfect beforehand.
    I'm unable to open or save attachments in entourage document (pdf, .doc, .docx, excellent, .ppt, etc.) and I am unable to change as well.
    I checked for available upgrades and you have installed those who came. Can someone help me out here?
    I also have problems transfer contacts and emails from my gmail account to entourage.
    Thanks in advance. Mike.
