I am a CS major in college and new to these forums. I wanted to start by saying Hi and asking if anyone has used Spiceworks (spiceworks dot com) and had any complaints/praises? Also, are there any paid alternatives to the product and how do they match up against it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of a provider that has an Ubuntu Desktop VPS? I've got accounts with fsckvps and xensmart but they only have centos ones - I'll install gnome on of them if I really have to but i'd prefer todo as little leg work as possible as it's for personal use.

This is a little bit Offtopic here but maybe it's okay to ask my question.
For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris.
I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown.
How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.

I signed up for a windows VPS.
The directions I recieved were "Please use remote desktop to connect to your server."
So I entered the ip address into the remote desktop connection window and it doesn't connect. Where do I go from here? I searched and can't find any relevant info.
I signed up for a Win2k3 VPS account with 3dgwebhosting. I'm a newbie to Plesk and win2k3 so I spent the first day getting head around Plesk.
I then logged into Remote Desktop only to find someone else had beat me. They'd hacked in and downloaded a mass email client, email stripper and obviously sent out spam from a 2mb text file of email addresses.
I didn't spend long in Remote Desktop, but while there I switched on Windows Firewall, changed my admin login password and logged off.
Now, 24 hours later, I can't get back in. I get the error - This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try again.....
I can still login through Plesk, FTP and ExpressionWeb.
Is FW keeping me out of RD or has the hacker returned?
I am setting up xampp on my desktop and when at home, I can develop on either the desktop or my laptop using xttp://localhost/ or xttp://desktop/. When I suddenly need to travel, what's the best/easiest/fastest way to make sure I have the files I need to work with on my laptop?
Is it to install xampp on my laptop, and then copy the files I need from /xampp/htdocs over from the desktop? How would I copy the MySQL databases over as well?
I was also looking into Microsoft's SyncToy 2.0. When combined with scheduled tasks I can do automatic sychronizations once per day. Multiple times per day would be ideal... but I could set up pairings and do manual copying everytime I need to run out.
Are there better ways? I could install the 'master' server on my laptop, but I would prefer to keep it on my desktop (more space, more power, etc.)

I recently got a Windows VPS to run a few applications 24/7. I generally login to the VPS during the day, via Remote Desktop, to review these applications..
However, I frequently have issues. Sometimes, I forget to log out and I will be terminated with a "the remote computer terminated the connection" and then I won't be able to re-login to the VPS. Sometimes I click the X on the Remote Desktop and then when I try to re-connect, I get the same error. Once I got the error "the remote connection has timed out. please try re-connecting to the remote computer again "
And the worse part is that the Remote Desktop can't be restarted alone.. my host has to restart my Windows every time - so my applications go down.
Is it me or is the VPS not supposed to act like this? Why is Remote Desktop so touchy?
I was told by the host that I should always use the Log Off.. however, if I do then Windows says that it will close all my applications.. I don't get any option to Log Off without closing the apps.. so I have to end up using the X.

View 14 Replies View RelatedIve seen it on Windows VPS, is it available or possible on a linux (CentOS) based VPS?
find it more comfortable working within the gui than the shell.. and just wondered if possible
a while back i had good experience with windows vps.i could remote login, and run things and just relax.
i am looking for ubuntu desktop vps, or any linux desktop vps, that has gui. i think this will be cheaper because there is no license fee to pay unlike windows.
i am looking to purchase around 20 of these small vps, for a project, so i would like the price per vps to be as low as possible.
I am currently accessing Serers through remote desktop (windows 2003). To be on the safe site, i like to allow only 1 IP to access through remote, even better would be through one specfic domain or subdomain.
I have already changed the port number, but still like to have this additional feature.
I know that Windows RDP Hosting is not a new Idea, but has anyone tried it with Ubuntu. I do have VNC Access to the server, but that only allows me to authenticate with a password, I need username and password.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe want to build a file server in our office - either Windows or Linux (doesn't make a difference to us).
We have a lot of satellite offices, and want to have certain computers have access to specific files/folders on the fileserver.
The catch is this... we would like some of our satellite computers to "sync" with the files/folders on the fileserver.
For example, a developer who is constantly working with a particular client, will always want his/her files to sync up with what is on the server.
The developer will want to work with a local copy of the files, and once finished, will upload them to the file server.
A few days go by, and there is a possibility the fileserver has additional information for that client. The developer would then want to download the changed files from the fileserver.
The benefit of working with local files, is that it is quicker to make changes. We can always leave the desktop on overnight to sync between the fileserver and the desktop.
Any suggestions what to look into here?
All of our desktops are on Windows, so we would need a windows application that has this functionality.
Rsync seems to be the closest thing I've found so far.
to install a server for data sharing. My user want a Windows server with remote desktop to write, edit and share document.
The server will host 5 users. one admin and 4 users. each user will have there own account and folder. The user will update word files and save it directly on the server. The admin will have access to each directory (like a fileserver).
I want your recommandation for the share, the OS and the upgradability
By default, it seems there are only 2 remote desktop connections allowed to a Windows server. If I need more, for example, up to 10 connections at the same time, how to do that?

View 14 Replies View RelatedHas anyone setup a low cost virtual desktop infrastructure using multiple Windows XP installs on VMWware Server, and if so did it work out for you? If you have any tech specs could you put them here as well.
I am looking to install 10-20 XP installations across a VMWare Server (the free one) Running on 2 or 3 physical servers with probably 384-512mb Ram per each one.
Then the users would just use RDP to connect up to them. The clients are located in 5 offices within 60 miles of the datacenter they will be in. So latency on RDP won't be too bad.

I want to set up my desktop to be kind of a database. So I can access all my files on my home desktop, from school. (and be able to back up all my files on my reliable desktop as opposed to my not so reliable lappy)
Then the next thing I wanted to do is to be able to access my desktop using remote access. So I can control everything on my desktop, while I'm not there.
My laptop is running Vista Home Premium, I dont think that matters too much. But my desktop is running XP Home Edition.
I have a no-ip account. but I dont really know what my next step would be, I'm guessing to make a sort of FTP on my desktop? and I have NO clue how I'd do the remote desktop.
