Microsoft SQL Processor License Vs CALs
May 30, 2009
One Webhost is offering MS SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Processor Licence) for US$385 per month.
Another webhost is offering MS SQL 2005 Standard Edition with 5 CALs for US$35 per month.
The first webhost says CALs are not available and that:
"A Processor License is required for running a Web server that is open to public access. Using CALs may put you in question from Microsoft's legal point of view if the inappropriate license is applied."
Only 3 people have access to the server and the website, I think, is very standard. www.culture360.org
Our org does not wish to do anything illegal. Which one is most appropriate? The price differences are very large.
I've had a look here:

I have a Microsoft Virtual Server VPS and I was looking at cpanel licensing prices which is cheaper for VPS (~$15/month for VPS, compared to ~45/month for dedicated). However, it doens't say what kind of VPS can be used for this pricing. Does anyone know if it matters for cpanel pepole? Or as long as it is VPS, they are okay with it?

I recently set up a Windows 2003 server which will serve about 10 computers in 3 locations through terminal services. In addition to these three locations I have a sonicwall SSLVPN2000 for employees to login if they need to get access from home. I purchased 10 CAL licenses for the server which are being run in per-server mode which allows for 10 simultaneous connections.
I am nearing my 120 day limit where the licensing system will start being enforced, and it came to my attention that for Terminal Services sessions, I need TS CALs in addition to the CALs. Furthermore they are not available in per-server mode: only per-user and per-device mode. Ideally I would like to user per device mode, but then I would have to license the people connecting remotely from their homes. Then I realized that the network may show the connections coming from the SSL VPN that they are navigating through as the device the employees were connecting from. Would assigning a per device TS CAL to the SSLVPN take care of any employees trying to access the network from home, or would the 2k3 server recognize that the SSL VPN is not an actual machine. If this does not work, would it probably just be best to do a per-user setup?

I have always used Intel processors. Maybe just out of habit but I always have.
AMD Dual-Core Opeteron 1216 2.40GHz
or
Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.50GHz 2.66GHz
Both would have 4GB ram.
What is the actual performance differences between these two processors? The Intel is $80 more and just not sure if it really is worth it.

Hows everybody doing. I am hosting a small network of sites (between 5-10) on a dedicated server with HostGator. I have the Standard package which gives me 1024mb as far as RAM and a Dual-Core 3040 Xeon (Conroe) as a processor goes.
My sites run extremely slow on the front end and back end. The sites are blogs which you probably know are php heavy. Not to mention a few of the sites get a decent amount of traffic (Alexa rankings of around 50K). One of the less popular sites with not as much traffic is www(dot)abnormalstyle(dot)com ...You can see how slow this site loads, its on the same server as the other sites, just using a different IP account...
I am looking to upgrade my server. When i talked to HostGator support i got the answer i would expect. "Upgrade to the next package, which is more money".
I am wondering if i would advantage from just upgrading my ram, or going with a processor first. The thing is, if i want to get the next processor i have to defiantly go with the next HostGator package, due to the fact they cant just add a new processor. They can however add more Ram.
Below are some options, if you have the time feel free to leave your comments and pick one of the options below which you feel would best suit the network of Wordpress blog sites i am using.
---------------------------------------------------------
Option 1 - Just upgrade RAM. There is no sense in going from a Dual-Core 3040 Xeon (Conroe) processor to just a Quad-Core 3210 Xeon (Kentsfield) processor, regardless of the ram, it will not make a major difference. ITS ALL ABOUT RAM!
Option 2 - Go for the next HostGator package which offers 4096mb Ram wise and Quad-Core 3210 Xeon (Kentsfield) processor wise. The Processor upgrade along with the RAM upgrade will be MUCH BETTER then just the ram upgrade itself in option 1.

After reading a lot of good reviews on Softlayer around here, I was thinking about switching to them. They have some really good deals and I'm planning on getting one of their dual opterons, but I have a question about the processor speed in relation to database intense stuff (like a forum with a good number of users on at once, or a CMS).
I have the option of either going for a Dual Opteron 248 (2.2 gHz) or a 252 (2.6 gHz) which costs $50 more. My question: is the 252 really worth the extra money compared to the 248? All I have on my server is an IPB forum with 100-450+ users on at any given time, and a static site (soon to be converted to a CMS), and I'm thinking that RAM is more important than the processor for a database app like those (that, and hard drive speed). So I wanted to know if it would be better to go with the 248 and spend the money on more Ram and a SA SCSI 10k drive or two?

I have a production windows 2003 server with 2 XEON processors. In task manager I see 4 processors: 0,1,2,3. I assume this is because these processors have hyperthreading. My question is how do I know which 2 of the 4 are the main processors. I have a service I only want to run on processor 2, which 2 would I select to do this? I really don't want to be experimenting as this is a live production server.

Planning on getting a new dedicated server with 4GB RAM, and a 500GB 7.2k SATA2 Hard Drive.
Which processor do you guys suggest? I know the Q6600 is older and runs hotter, but it has better specs than the Q8200. Would I really notice a difference if I'm only hosting static sites without any video streaming or anything?

I have read benchmark comparisons and found the Q9400 and even the Q9300 to be a better performing processor compared to the Q6600 processor, even with 2MB less L2 cache.
I am just wondering, how significant of a difference do you think the Q6600 processor and the Q9400 processor is in a server environment? Currently I have a Q6600 processor but am looking to upgrade my server, possibly to the Q9400 processor..will it be worth it? It's not that much more expensive..the only thing I am concerned about is the 2mb L2 cache loss.
My site is "kind-of" high traffic. We receive a lot of connections and visitors, and most-importantly my sites are run by PHP and MySQL databases.
Please help me choose the right processor. Currently I have 4GB DDR2-800mhz installed, which I will be upgrading to 8GB DDR2-800mhz, no matter what processor I choose to run.
I discovered that upgrading to 1ghz RAM is just not worth the extra money because the performance gain is very little and not noticeable.
Would anyone possibly know of a Intel Quad Core processor that has 8mb or more of L2 cache, 1333mhz FSB, and is comparable to the processors listed above and relatively the same in price?

I have a dual processor server and today I was monitoring CPU usage using the ‘top’ command
There was a mysql process I was tweaking around with where the CPU % kept jumping over 100%.. It went up to 155%, 175%, 180% on numerous occasions.
My question is on a dual processor machine does ‘top’ measure CPU usage between 0% and 200% or does the usages I saw earlier mean my server was getting REALLY overloaded?

Does anybody use Microsoft LogParser on their 2003 server? I am looking to use this program to find out when a user login via remote desktop and when they logoff. I have found that in Event Viewer the EventID of user login/logoff is 528 or 538. The only thing is that there are multiple logoffs in a row (with the same time for the same user) or the user logs in then out again at the same time right down to the second.
This is the query I was running then importing that data into a database to view/analyze the data:
Code:
SELECT
ComputerName,
EventID,
TimeGenerated AS LogTime,
STRCAT(STRCAT(EXTRACT_TOKEN (Strings, 1, '|'), ''), EXTRACT_TOKEN(Strings, 0, '|')) AS Username
INTO
c:logonoff.csv
FROM
[computer name here]Security
WHERE
EventID IN (528; 538)
AND
EventCategoryName = 'Logon/Logoff'

I have a potential client that uses it and ISA is blocking the ports my control panel uses so they need to open up the ports. Anyone know how they can do this? They're not local otherwise I'd just stop by and tinker around until I figure it out.

I've already posted this over at the vBulletin forums and with their tech support team, but so far no one has been able to find a solution. Someone suggested I post here as well.
I am currently running vB using PHP 4.3.9 with Zend WinEnabler on a windows 2003 server. I have a seperate database server and a web server. This current configuration works fine, but I am moving to an upgraded web server and this is where the problems start.
Due to intermitant issues with Zend WinEnabler (now a discontinued product) I wanted to move to the latest version of PHP (5.2.5 NTS) and Microsoft FastCGI. The problem is that I am getting blank pages when clicking the Today's Post link from the top menu and immediately following the submission of a new post. I've gone through all of the vBulletin listed suggestions about trouble shooting blank pages and none apply.
Because I have a seperate database sever, I am accessing the same database with the new server vB configuration I am migrating to. As such I suspect the issue has to be related to web server given there are no issues on the current live site and the only changes are the PHP version and acceleration app.
If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know. I am running out of time on my server migration window before I am going to be billed for two servers.

I am trying to decide to run my heavy database community site over at a new host but am looking to create a good package customed for high bandwidth.
I can decide from going with ONE Dual Quad-Core 2.0 Processor(4 gigs of ram) or TWO Intel Xeon 3210 2.1 GHz Quad Core Processor servers(4 gigs of ram each) with a Virtual Rack Container.
With having both the lower servers on the virtual rack, will the site manage with the same power as the Dual Quad Core since it is on a rack?

Can anyone give me some insight on how VPS licensing works with SPLA? According to my reseller, each VPS needs its own standalone license which seem to differ with what I read somewhere about Microsoft Server 2008 allowing up to 8 virtual stances with 1 license or something like that.

Microsoft said this about Microsoft Licensing for Virtualization
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter
Run any number of software instances in physical and virtual operating system environments on a server.
Now,I have some questions:
1)Is this method of licensing just for hyper-v or we can use it on vmware ESXi or Xen?
2)How we can use Microsoft Volume Licensing on Vmware ESXi and Xen?
3)What is the best solution for windows virtualization?(vmware esxi or hyper-v or xen)
4)what is difference between xen and xenserver?
5)which control panels we can use for hyper-v,vmware ESXi and xenserver?
