Small network server

I have a small network to a nonprofit food pantry. Eight clients workstations w/Windows 10 installed. Connections all run through a switch to the workstation used as the server. The workstation server has Windows 7. Is there a downside to let Windows 7 on the server, or would it be better to upgrade to Windows 10 also.

There is no network software. Workstations see the server via ethernet through the switch cables to the Windows 7 computer.

I need to answer this question to the Board of Directors non-profit organization of Directors.

I have no problem to let Windows 7 on the server.  Windows 7 will be supported extended through 01/14/2020.

Because this computer may seem critical to your operation, I would be reluctant to be updated without any particular reason to do so, because it is not a risk free action.  I would first make a backup of the complete picture.

    I am new to cisco equipment. My company recently purchased a firewall of Pix 501 unlimited number of users, it is connected to an internet connection by cable with a dynamic ip address. Internet works fine and so the dhcp server.

    FIRT off, you do not have a group-access instruction set for one of your ACL. This means that you have blocked all inbound traffic. You also have your incorrect static instructions. You can start by cleaning your config and enter the correct commands, you should be able to stick to your firewall config mode:

  • Get information about the file from a network server

    I need to keep some files sync would be between a cRIO and a network server. I would query the server for file sizes, then I can compare file sizes with local cRIO and FTP files on all files that are not current. For the local computer (cRIO), I can use the "file Info" function of pallets. Hoping that I can use the same function to query the network server, but do not know how it works; the IP address of the server is part of the path to the file? If so, what is the syntax for that? If this does not work, or if there is a better way, how would I go on this subject?

  • User logged on the server over the RDP session - Small Business Server 2011 x 64

    We have a Small Business Server 2011 standard x 64.  We have the configuration of the remote desktop on port forwarding in the firewall to allow a user to connect to this server using RDP remote desktop.  This isn't a server terminal server.  No, there are no available Remote Desktop Manager settings.

    When the user connects through the RDP application and connects to the server.  If the users session is idle for 15 minutes, the user is connected to the server (not disconnected the RDP session, just to connect to the server).  The user must log into the server every time that happens.  We tried adjusting the Remote Desktop Session Host settings and changed the Session time limits, but this isn't the parameter we are looking for.  We have looked extensively through the default domain group policy and see nothing active to this behavior.  We examined local group policies and studied the session time limits in the user and computer configuration > policies > models Admin > RDP >... session host and it is has anything configured here which could trigger this behavior.

    Yet once, it connects the disabled user, not closing the remote session.  We have also examined the user account for this user and looked for resume posting require logon settings (although with SBS, it is not even there to adjust the display settings).  I had partner Microsoft supports focus on this during one hour (he didn't use too much of my time to support) and they have been unable to resolve within an hour.

    Help, please!
