I have a Windows 2003 server running on a machine, and I'd like to convert this machine to a Linux (Fedora) machine.
Suppose I don't have a CD-Rom/Floppy/USB drive. Is it possible to install Linux?
I know this isn't really hosting related, but WHT has always given the best answers to questions.
Right here goes...
I have a new 1U server, which I ordered with no CD drive, as I have a little USB external DVD/CD which I would normally load the OS on.
However I have LOST IT !!!!
So I have been crawling the net for ways to install Windows XP (im just using XP for a very short time for testing!) from either a USB stick or by taking the hard drive out of the server, and copying the CD content onto it from a working windows computer.
manually install Windows 2003 std to a linux box ( CentOS 5.2 to be exact). The reason is my provider does not provide Windows or custom OS installation.

On the other hand, I'm very familiar with Windows 2003.
So, what are your experiences running a vbulletin forum website with windows 2003? Any huge security flaws with Win2k3 compared to CentOS? Would I be able to use SSH to tunnel and remote desktop into the Win2k3 box? It'd be so refreshing to be able to use a gui instead of command prompts.
I see a quad core with 8gb for under $150 right now, compared to my current dual core with 2gb of ram I think it'd definitely be a huge improvement.
I have a server that keeps dying on my mysteriously. I've loaded it with Windows 2003 and Linux. Both crash about once every other day. So I'm guessing this isn't a software issue, but a hardware one.
When it crashes the screen turns blank. Only a hardware reboot will work. The power doesn't go off though.
Anybody here experience something like this before? I'm guessing it's one of the following:Power supply
CPU
Motherboard
However I'm thinking it's probably not the power supply as the server is relatively idle. I did stress test the server and it didn't crash then.
The thing is, there are no event logs from the BIOS or anything.
I need to remove CentOS from an old office PC. Dont get me wrong I use Linux almost on everything but for specific reason I need to get XP back into this old AMD PC.
I cannot install XP. I cannot remove Linux. This install is devil. It will not let me remove it. I tried everything. XP disk goes black screen and stays there, this is happens with some hardware and you have to remove all Linux partitions to me the Windows XP disk install start.
The problem I CANT remove it.
I go to rescue mode, or interactive, mode, it doesnt matter, I cannot remove linux.
"fisk -l"
Go to my partition
fdisk /dev/sda2
d for delete and it just outputs:
No partition is defined yet!
I tried lots of ways around it and always that message. Linux doesnt let me remove the partitions.
How in the world do I get XP back now?
I was actually curious about this since Windows 2008 version came out.
What is the difference between Windows media services on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008?
I want to install the application (if it is an application) on my Win 2003 dedicated so I can run PHP scripts.
If I go to this page:
[url]
there are a number of files, not sure which one I should download. Once downloaded, where do I put it, in Program Files? Is there an .exe file or something I should double click on to install it? Or id this supposed to be install on IIS?

I wait your answerds.
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
Apparently on of my colo customers sent the server without the OS or CD drive, and wants us to install CentOS 4.4 64 bit.
Any way to get "download" version of it, put it on a floppy, put it in the server and let the server download the rest from the internet (after we enter the IP info, so it can connect)?
I'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?
I recently build a server with Asus M2N-MX SE motherboard and SuperMicro 14" mini 1u. On the back of the Asus M2N-MX SE manual. it said for RAID driver, i need to create it from the included CD and use a floppy disk. my question is how can i do it without a floppy disk? i have an external DVD-burner that i hook up to usb to install the OS. Is it possible to use a cd to install the driver when i press f6 during Windows2003 installation?
Is it worth the effort to setup RAID 1? I have two Maxtor 500GB SATA disks and using RAID 1 seem to reduce one disk and leave me with 500GB worth of space and is the onboard Nvidia RAID trust worthy? because it said due to chipset limitation, the SATA ports supported by the Nvidia chipset doesn't support Serial Optical disk drives (Serial ODD).
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway?
Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp.
I think windows xp license is cheaper.
Is it possible to install Plesk 12 to Debian Jessie with the autoinstall script?

I have setup ras, and letting me to login to the server using PPTP, but its not allowing me to route the Internet using the connection there.
I m having One NIC card, and as far i know its possible to route public network too.
I was contacted by a small company manager who want to setup an online common work place for his employees.
He needs a Windows server with the possibility for up to 10 users to connect remotly and share files and software.
Do you think that Windows 2003 is compulsory for such basic needs? I want to go with Windows XP because it is less expensive.
on the server I have ASP access sites and ASP with SQL server sites.
When I load the sites they are fast, but then after a random period of time, I click a link but the page just sits there saying waiting for host, I can refresh but no difference, then all of a sudden the site will start working again and be fast until the next time.
Does anyone know why the site can be fast then sort of just hang for a while and if so, any suggestions on fixing this would be brilliant.
Can I configure windows 2003 to use multiple IPs?? Is it necessary to have a separate ethernet connection for each IP? Loopback, does it help? What about Linux?

View 9 Replies View Relatedi wanted to buy a dedicated server and when i had questions about 2003 web, i talked to hivelocity live support and i think it was dave who told me that Windows 2003 web has a restriction for mysql which was 512 KB. I myself is planning to own a gameserver that uses java and mysql and i know for sure uses much much more space than 512 KB. Is this true that 2003 restricts the size of your DB and when your DB reaches 512 kb, it can no longer be used? Also, is the windows 2008 web licensing fee the same as windows 2003 web?

I have a Windows 2003 Server with DotNetPanel.
Server have old hardware, and I want to change complete server to a new hardware, but saving all current data, users, configurations, etc...
I don't want to use backup and restore utility of DotNetPanel, because is very slow.
I want to do a complete migration of data, users, configurations, etc...
I see Parangon Software, that allow this, but I need to see more options.
In exception, I add ports (21,110,25,3389,80) all the ports work good, in Appearance.
I use MailEnable. When I visit the webmail for example webmail.mydomain.com I can't see it.
Do you have any idea what is happen?
What port is necesary?
I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and i'm probably being a little lazy, but the google searches i did didn't really help.
As I need to have windows hosting, apart from the price, is there any difference between setting up the server with windows 2003 standard edition and web edition?
I want to run MS SQL and My sql databases, run asp, .Net 2 and php on the server.
I'd also want to connect with RDP which i'm assuming is fine.
Most of the searches seem to talk about the fact that you can't set up active directory,or making it a domain controller but not much else.
I would like to get a windows 2003 or 2008 dedicated server to run some software and give some friends hosting locally.
Can someone please explain what must be done and HOW (win server newbie here) *after* the intial o/s install?
- dns setup (how, ns1/ns2, etc)
- apply IP range assigned to server
- serious security (the big one)
This is my first dedicated and I am plugging away at it.I am running windows server 2003 web edition and I have my database, website, and ftp setup and everything is working so far. Now if you go to 66.96.196.102 my site that I'm working on will show up. My question is my domain and site that I am in the process of moving is hosted on a shared server on 1and1. Now I need that domain to point to that ip. Do I need to set up name servers on the server? If so can someone point me in th right direction.
