How well does it work to stream music and movies in my home network and when using itremote?

I am currently in the process of setting up two identical 2008 terminal servers in our corporate network. One will be the primary server where up to 60 users (currently 20) will use Wyse S10 thin clients to be provided with a remote desktop experience. The other server is simply a mirrored backup in case of primary server failure. I have set up failover clustering, DFS replication, and Terminal services on both machines. I have installed an identical set of application for users to use as well. Both machines are IBM system x3650 with 32gb ram and 6 1TB drives (configured as 1 raid 0 1tb system drive and 1 raid 5 4tb storage drive). I plan to publish a few apps w…

I would like to install my system (Windows 2008 Server) on a FIbre Channel volume. I have 4 FibreChannel adapters (2x Qlogic 2340, 2x Qlogic 2310) with which I have been doing the tests. Now, there's no problem installing the system on an FC volume with 512 byte blocksize, but when I set up a 4 kB volume, the volume shows up in the installer and it's possible to create a partition, but it's not possible to format the volume with NTFS (the system freezes at that exact moment). The configuration is exactly the same as when trying the 512 byte blocksize. Anybody had the same problem? It doesn't seem to be connected to FC itself.. Any tips? Thanks in advance!

Dears i am new, so hello to everybody. i have one problem on windows server 2008 enterprise edition when using terminal service in application mode. i must say that i am using a trial version of the O.S. i have installed several applications like Offce 2007, Adobe Reader, Adobe Photo Shop and.... . all my clients work with this system and they are satisfied but i do not know why each 2 days the server hangs (stops working) and nobody can logon to the server or even browse internet sites. i created .msi files for each application installed them on end user thin clients.

I installed/configured Core Server 2008 for print services I am managing it via Print Manager from Vista. I have tried exporting/importing printers from a file as well as adding a driver (any driver) individually from the Add Driver wizard - all fail. The errors I am receiving are: "Unable to install [driver name] This Operation is not supported." Then: "Failed to add driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000578)." I can add a TCP/IP printer port manually, just no printer drivers. I am logged in with a user account that has domain admin privileges and UAC is disabled I was able to install a print driver to the Windows 2008 Core print server on …

I can not activate my sound card on my laptop running WS08. It's an LG - LM70 - LG have no drivers, as I can't locate, specific for WS08, and the drivers/updates for Vista are not working (at least I am doing something wrong). Anyone has an idea on how to install the sound card?

Hi, I have the following setup; ESX 3.5 update 3. VM Image Win2k8 Core server setup as AD, DNS, DHCP VM Image Win2k8 Full server setup with Exchange 2007 and Remote Management. Active Directory is set up and looks OK, as does DNS. I can contact both servers from my laptop by address and name. I have set up DHCP ipv4 as I have done for many other versions of Windows. The scope is active, the server has been authorised in AD. When I try to get an address, it thinks for about a minute and then tells me that there are no DHCP servers. The event log does not show much. I disabled the firewall on both machines, but still had to add a rule to enable the remote v…

Hi I have a question about creating a bootable DVD for the Windows 2008 operating system. In the past I have been using the NERO software to make bootable Windows CDs for other operating systems. I downloaded the Trial version of the Windows 2008 64 bit version which is about 2.5 GB. The issue that I have is that when I try to make a bootable DVD in Nero, it complains that one of the files is over 2 GB and will not allow a bootable ISO to be created. I am able to burn the DVD with the UDF file system, however, this is not bootable. I can not upgrade from an existing 32 bit operating system with the 64 bit Windows 2008. Can someone assist with the steps to c…

Hi everyone, I'm trying to do a clean install of a Windows 2008 Server Standard but I'm having a problem that I have not found on the net yet, so I'll try to explain here. I cannot drop any screenshots since I'm installing the new server on 3 HD's Raid5 in the same case as the one running a Win2003 server now. So I won't be able to try some manoeuvers too. Problem: The installation worked (RAID5), installed NIC driver and being able to connect to internet without problems. I installed the AD function and was trying to install the DNS server with dcpromo.exe. With our without 'the Advanced settings option', I can: - create new domain in new forest - type…

Neighbor Discovery in IPv6 is the replacement for ARP, router discovery, and the redirect function in IP version 4. IPv6 nodes use a neighbor cache to store the MAC addresses of recently resolved IPv6 addresses, rather than an ARP cache. You can view neighbor cache in windows 2008,vista and win 7 with following command : netsh interface ipv4 show neighbors. http://yaghoob.spaces.live.com/

Hello there, after hours of searching the web, i'll try here. Im a student of bioinformatics, and work at the university. Currently im trying to setup two windows server 2008 domain controllers. With the first one everything worked fine, but when i try to add the second server to the domain as an domaincontroller, i become following error at the end of the dcpromo wizard and the beginning of the setup: The computer could not join the domain (domain_name). "No mapping between account names and security ID's was done" Some information for you: Theres a hardware firewall configured and an dns server from the university net. Both DC's have update rights on this d…

Hi all, I have installed WS08 on my laptop, and now trying to tweak it. The first issue I had was that I didn't have wifi as default. I solved that through server manager. The next thing I wanted was to have Aero. I added the feature, but after the reboot I can not start the Themes service. It's greyed out as if I am not an admin on the machine. I am in our domain admins group, and I have added that, as well as my specific domain/user to the admins group. Have also added to the power users group. But no change. I didn't try to log as local admin ( I am sure this will be ok, but why is it that I can't start the service?) Thanks

when i remote desktop to the server running AD i am not able to run any .msc. it tells me "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item" even though i log on as administrator. it does run if i right click and run it as administrator or add and run it by adding to mmc. i need help with this.

Has anyone taken the Microsoft E-Learning Security Courses for Developers? Are they any good?

Whenever we (administrators) reboot our Windows 2008 Server, we have to manually restart File Sharing. Is there anyway for that feature to remain "always on"? cheryl
