Which Windows Operating System To Get For DB Server
to get a dedicated sql server 2005 box and am not sure the best operating system. These are my choices:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - 32 bit
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - 64 bit
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise - 32 bit
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise - 64 bit
This is the server I'm thinking of getting -
Dual Woodcrest Series - SATA Dual Intel Woodcrest 5130 Dual Core Processors 2 x 500GB Hard Drive 4096 MB RAM
Currently, I have my IIS web server and sql server 2005 on the same machine and it's just too bogged down. That one runs windows 2003 standard 32 bit on a Dual Xeon 2.8GHz Processor 2 x 80GB Hard Drive 4096 MB RAM

Which Operating System
There's bloody heaps of them. Which one do I go for on my two new file servers? Which operating system out of these is the most common, has the most support, is most compatible? The server will be used to host videos and will run c-panel. A light weight OS is probably preferred but I really have no idea. And incase it helps, the servers have 512mb of ram, about 30 - 40GB of hDD (not actually sure) and an old AMD Duron. CentOS Debian Direct Admin Fedora FreeBSD Gentoo LiveCD Redhat Slackware

Determining Operating System (Linux)
Without having all of the operating systems at my disposal for testing, I would like to figure out a way to determine the operating system of a remotely accessed Linux machine. It seems pretty strange though, since cPanel reports both machines I am using as being CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 i686, yet one's uname -a reports: Code: Linux hostsentry.crucialwebhost.com 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise #1 SMP Thu May 24 17:41:23 MSD 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Code: Linux main.7kb.org 2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 4 21:36:00 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I'm assuming there is a way to determine the OS from this information. Anyone know how?

Preferred Operating System For Web Serving
I have been online since 95 and I've got a lot of information I could help others with regarding web development and interface design. One thing I'm terrible at is System Administration, but I'm getting better and my first step is to pick a reliable operating system for both the webservers and the database servers. Would anyone be willing to answer the following questions or point me to a thread that already discusses these? A little background, our site has 200k members, 30k active and is growing by about 5k a week. We still run MySQL 4.0.27 on the DB servers and they are running FC2. The webservers are Apache 1.3.37 and PHP 4.4.2 running FC2 and FC4 as well. My questions 1. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the web servers? and a "few" reasons why? 2. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the database servers? and a "few" reasons why?

Conduct Or Legal Operating Practice
I have a ethics and legality scenario I would like to pose here. This is to be considered a fictional scenario and any similarity to any real company or person is unintentional. COMPANY X has colo racks in DATACENTER and hosts a client named COMPANY Y. COMPANY Y also hosts 50 small web sites on cpanel and 40 VPS servers on their linux VPS node in exchange for a discount or other compensation. During the month of may and COMPANY Y's bill raises from being 3000 past due to over 12000 past due to various reasons including purchasing of hds from the DATACENTER using COMPANY X's account, tech work dont by DATACENTER for COMPANY Y needed also billed to COMPANY X's account, as well as BW and rack costs. Seeing this alrming bill by the end of May COMPANY X begins putting pressure on COMPANY Y to pay some invoices as no payments were received during the entire month of may and COMPANY X is also having a hard time paying DATACENTER due to not being paid by COMPANY Y but makes efforts to pay 25% of the outstanding bill in June. Near the end of june COMPANY X has had enough and arrives at the datacetner to attempt to move theritr clients off COMPANY Ys hardware so they can suspend service of COMPANY Y completely. On the visit COMPANY X brings 2 new servers in and begins moving clients of their over and COMPANY X notices this action and begins to suspend and remove access to all of COMPANY X's clients. COMPANY X then decided to power off the boxes of COMPANY Y and removes drives containing COMPANY X customer data for offline recovery. and because they beleived the DATACENTER might be untrustworthy enough to release hardware fromt heir rakcs without their permission. The drives were for as much colatteral purposes as for recoverying customer data. They then pack the drives in boxes and a bag and leave the datacenter having spent nearly 20 hours working and head on a long trip home and signs out of the data center in front of various techs holding the server parts and tools. Upon arriving back to their office/home They were informed that the removal of the HDs was not allowed byt he datacenter because the account was past due and it was discovered that several drives with cOMPANY X's clients were left in the datacenter which COMPANY X now wishes they had remembered to get. DATACENTER is furious and demands the account be paid in full by a fixed time or the entire colo will be cut power. COMPANY X scrambles to find others to help them and another major client who has alot at risk decides to help and a payment of $7160 is made to DATACETNER but it came in a few minutes past the deadline. DATACETNER had suspended servuce, and cut power but stated they wil return service shortly. Shortly after this it is discovered that several servers belonging to COMANY X and two other companies who were supsended in the same day were not int he rack anymore. DATACENTER accout rep responds with the following message in ICQ/AIM .....

Server Became Read Only System
I had a linux server (CentOs 5, mysql5, php5, directadmin). I had problems with apache few days ago, that's why i hire sys. admin who tweak the system (install the PAE kernel), and some more configurations, and during last 7-8 days server work w/o any downtime (before this server had 1-2 downtimes per day-> OOM killer.) Now i had only ssh access (emails, directadmin access - give "wrong password" answer). As told my sys.admin It became read only system. I cann't even reboot system Quote: [root@server sa]# reboot reboot: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) such few commands work, the most commands that i know don't work Quote: [root@server ~]# ls -la ls: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Why Is RAID 1, Just Use A Backup System/server
I haven't yet broken into the realms of dedicateds, although I have a decent VPS and am anticipating the need to get a dedi in the future. Hence I'm wondering briefly why exactly RAID (insert some random number?) is recommended? I know it does something to do preventing hard drive failure, although would an efficient backup system be a decent alternative with regards to cost?

System To Control Server Load On Cpanel
a good method to have processes controlled in the resources they use, in a shared cpanel environment? For example, it appears that the cpanel backup (compressed) made the load skyrocket to beyond 60% cpu and 95% memory usage today, and this server is beefy to begin with. I want some system to kill processes immediately if they exceed X amount of resources or kill processes that spiral out of control (X amount of processes from same user). I'd like to be alerted of this action as well. How can I set this up?

New Domain Name, How To Point It To My Server 2003 System
I have always been using a no-ips service for a domain name. It was really easy with the dynamic update client because I have a dynamic ip. I have just registered a domain and would like to point that to my server also. My registrar says it is currently parked, there doesn't seem to be an option to unpark it anywhere. I have also changed the nameserver to my no-ip domain name. Nothing is happening. I have also googled dns.. If I want to point my domain directly to my server do I need to go and install Active Directory and then dns or can I just install DNS, do I even need to do this?? Seems like a lot of hassle tbh, this is really frustrating me because i'm pretty tech savvy but am completely lost here..

Windows 2008 Versus Windows 2003 Server
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?

Media Server Running Windows Server 2003 Std: Yes Or No
Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.

Windows Media Server & Web Server

I believe the best route is to use a WMS, stream to the WMS, then the CDN would pull from there for events. Can someone help me explain a Windows Media Server versus a web server? Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?

Slow Server-to-server FTP'ing On Windows
I have a number of dedicated servers at different hosting companies, all with 100mbps burstable ports, using several versions of Windows (2003 or 2008, Standard or Enterprise). I've tried setting up FTP servers (the one that is part of IIS) on 4 of them, to transfer files between the servers. But, I can't get a single transfer to go faster than about 10-12Mbps. If I upload multiple files, each will go at right around 10-12Mbps (so I can get, say, ~50Mbps if transferring 5 files simultaneously). I've tried passive FTP, and I've tried tweaking the TCP settings (TcpWindowSize, GlobalTcpWindowSize, Tcp1323Opts), and the results are the same.

Windows Server
I want to run a website with huge traffic (50000 Unqies/Day) on windows server, the pages are in .asp (Static) no SQL or database. I wanted to ask a question, that are there any problems with Windows Servers on Windows 2003 (IIS 6) like any ASP connections limits etc. I mean does anyone have any idea if i run .asp pages with lots of traffic on server, will it make ASP pages Load SLOW ? (.html) work fine at this moment. Please kindly let me know of your experience with WINDOWS server. like ASP pages failed. or ASP pages not loading, or asp pages giving errors... etc Or should i switch to .php (linux server) i mean asking not from SECURITY point of view but... from LOAD balancing... means i want that Simple Static pages, .asp would create any problem with huge traffic of 50000/day on that server (whereas .html dont create any problem) so is there anything to do with .asp which could create problems ? any connection limits ?...

KVM Over IP System
I have a few different types of servers, all of which came with their own KVMoIP setup, aka DRAC and iLO which have worked only so so since their deployment. The HP iLO has performed absolutely flawlessly but the DRAC on the other hand has been nothing less than a complete nightmare. I'm looking for a KVM over IP system that we can connect to multiple servers, mainly Dell, that is 100% reliable and completely stable. Not something that will be giving Java errors randomly when you actually need it to work. So far I've came across the Raritan Dominion KX II which looks pretty promising. Is there any other KVM over IP systems or manufactures that I should look into? Has anyone used this and can you comment about its reliability?

Windows Media Server
my Hosting service (Hostway) offered Windows Media Server at the time. I wanted visitors to have the ability to quickly stream .wma's, so I went for the cost. now...I'm unemployed; & money is real tight...so, I was thinking of dropping Hostway...going over to GoDaddy; & switching my means of musical delivery to .mp3's. So: 1) How much slower is mp3 streaming from a conventional server than .wma from a dedicated server? 2) Is there a way to speed it (mp3) up (save decreasing file size)? 3) Will .wma's stream without the dedicated server; & if so...how is that implemented? I really need to save money in this economy...but I don't want my listeners to suffer. Is that possible?
