Windows Vista and Server Standard 2012

Hello

I inherited the administration of a small building single LAN, with probably a maximum of 25 users. The vast majority of currently connected machines run Vista 32 bit. The newly installed server running Windows 2012 Server Standard. We do not have it staff to manage the network, and as I couldn't run fast enough, I am.

When the server has been installed, the company that installed it created user accounts staff, but said that it was impossible to make roaming profiles for Vista SP2 and it could only be done with SP3. I found the last Vista SP2.

I meet a lot of resistance in the building if the user needs to create a profile on each computer he uses rather than having a roaming profile, and so I was hoping someone could tell me if roaming profiles are an option for this combination of software and possibly direct me to a place where I could see properly how do.

Thank you very much

Iain

  • How can I access my emails after the death of my PC. I had a pc using Windows Vista and I served my Windows Mail e-mail program.

    Disaster of Windows Mail.  Where are my emails please?

    How can I access my emails after the death of my PC. I had a pc using Windows Vista and I served my Windows Mail e-mail program.  The computer has stopped working so I removed the hard drive, put it in a case and now use it as an external drive.  My new computer, I took possession of the Documents and Settings folder, and I'm looking for emails.  I followed the path, Documents and Settings / / AppData / Local / Microsoft / Windows Mail but there are 2 folders, backup & stationery as well as a few small files.  Where I could hide my email? Please, I beg you.

    There should be a directory called local folders under the message store and eml files organized into folders named after the directories under this directory are.  They may be hidden files, so make sure that you have enabled the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View.  You can also try to search *.eml, because messages are stored as eml files.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background.

  • I got my windows vista ultimate administrator standard user account.

    I got my windows vista ultimate administrator standard user account. Now whenever I try to update or install "User Account Control" is constantly asking me to (type an administrator password, and then click OK). The problem is that I can't do this because OK is disabled (grayed out) and no place to type the admin password or the other. How to restore this administrator account or even to enable the local administrator account by default here?

  • Comparison between Windows Vista and Windows 7

    Hi, can you help me please make a better decision?

    I am faced with a decision to make between windows Vista and the new Windows 7. I am currently using Windows Vista Home Basic (32 bit) that currently gives me a lot of problems. Now I think investing in a newer version of windows.

    Can you please recommend me in terms of:
    1 price
    2. Security
    3. ease of use
    4 reliability
    5. fitness for purpose domestic to small business (Home Office)
    6 connection to a network environment that has other versions of Windows, for example XP
    7. the ability to manage multiple processes simultaneously
    8. the programs that run on windows vista will run on windows 7? I have an accounting program I use so I would like to know if I will not have a problem if I choose windows 7

    I have an offer to buy Windows Vista Ultimate and I want to compare it to Windows 7 Home Premium

    1. Windows 7 is less expensive than Vista, version for version
    2. Windows relies on Vista security
    3. Subjective - if you've never customized XP somehow, you should get good enough with Vista or Win 7
    4. Windows 7 has proved to be reliable in the tests.
    5. Since the release of XP, all Microsoft operating systems are good for the environment
    6. Windows 7 and Vista will be connect to XP
    7. Windows 7 and Vista is better than XP
    8. Generally Yes, but there may be drivers that have been coded to search for a specific operating system. It is a business decision made by the suppliers of hardware and software that allows them to continue to support product as he approaches the end of its product lifecycle, or push the consumer to buy a newly released product

    If you do not require Bitlocker encryption or the ability to connect to a corporate domain, Windows 7 Home Premium is fine to do the job. You must keep in mind that are supported for Vista "home" versions, and that includes 'Ultimate', will end in 2012, where the support of Windows 7 will be ongoing.

    In my opinion, you would be better advised to go to Windows 7 now and miss out on the stage of Vista...

  • WIndows 7 and Server 2008 machines won't remember preferences of network discovery, needs to set every time you start up or wake up.

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone here could be kind enough to help me solve this situation

    I have two machines Windows 7 and Server 2008 machines remember preferences of network discovery.

    I use the software on the windows server that collects data and information to two windows 7 machines and discover the network is necessary for this purpose

    These machines are set up in an autonomous local network set up as a working group the only other points on the network are none based on PC hardware that fortunately, the server communicates with and reads the data of

    Once network discovery is defined for the network, the system works as expected, but on each startup (or wake up) network discovery is lost and need to be authorized. This is the case at the time windows server 20008 r2 and windows 7

    How can I make these permanent preferences. for that it restarts and re establish communication its self without intervention

    am I missing a setting or if not is there a way I can script the selection preference on each start (/wake) upwards.

    the end user must be able to turn on the system / restart and use it with needing to have any IT / networking of knowledge to the outside to get the system running.

    I installed Gears of War game CD on my computer (Windows VISTA) and make me "Please insert the correct DVD - ROM, click OK and restart the application" - but the disk is IN the drive.  I've been on the net and does not know what is the problem and why this game will not run.  I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled tried to run as administrator, got the latest patch, all the things that have said all sites to do - anyone have any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Hi NoOneSpeciale,

    It is very possible that your CD may be damaged.  Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
    Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.

    I am trying to download a game, but the system is Windows XP or Windows Vista. Well, I have Windows 07 is Windows Vista and Windows 07 looked at the same thing?

    Hello LittleRed,

    If requirements call for Vista, so general, it should run fine under Windows 7. We are talking about 32-bit or 64-bit here? To be on the safe side, you could try to create a Restore Point before you download and install.
