  1. Good day, I have a Windows Server 2008 Standard Service Pack 2. I want to create a user that will have the minimum rights and will only be able to login in the server and shut it down in case of a power failure, so that it will not continue running on the UPS power. I searched through the default list of groups to choose which one to make him a member of, but none of them seem to have limited enough rights. Even backup operators can run some applications in the server control panel, accessories, as well as view the Hard disk & partitions, which is something I do not want. So how do I edit the rights of that specific user? I searched though here: Start: gpedit.msc Local Group Policy Editor User Configuration Administrative templates System User Profiles But I did not find where I could edit that specific user's rights. Please any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
  2. Purchase/Install Win2008 Server STD Government Volume License on a Server/PC with no operating system. Hello. I work at a public civil service in the EU and we have a Server/PC with no windows operating system. We have a network of 15 client PCs with Windows O/S. I want to know if we can legally purchase and install Windows 2008 Server Standard Open Volume Government License and 15 Device CALs on this specific blank server/pc? All I could find at the Microsoft site was this info but it does not clearly state about Server & Open Volume Government licenses on a blank Server/PC http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources/faq.mspx Q. Can I order a PC with no operating system from a manufacturer and then use my Volume License to install Windows on the desktop? A. No. Volume License agreements—including Academic, Government, and Public Sector—never cover the initial full Windows Client operating system license. Volume License agreements cover only Windows Client upgrade licenses. Windows upgrades are designed to upgrade previously acquired qualifying desktop operating system licenses. See the PUR for more information on qualifying underlying licenses. http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/E...er%20hi-res.pdf Or do we have to buy the Retail version of Windows 2008 Server Standard? Please any help will be highly appreciated.
  3. I used the: "Microsoft Assessment and Planning Solution tool" on the Server. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en The results showed that all my current Server devices (Including the M/B Intel 915 chipset) are compatible with Windows 2008 Server. It says: "No action required. Driver is available on the Windows Server 2008 DVD" for all the devices. It also recommends installing Windows 2008 based on my current setup and system requirements. So, is this accurate? Thanks in advance.
  4. Thanks a lot for the compatibility list! How ever, my Server mother board: “ABIT AG8 Motherboard” I can't even find it in the compatibility list?! I checked the ABIT Driver site and there are no Windows 2008 Server drivers available by ABIT! http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/download/do...KET_TYPE=LGA775 Does this mean that it will not work at all with Windows 2008 Server? Will the Windows 2003 Server drivers work with Windows 2008 Server? ?
  5. Hello, I would like to get either Panda Security for Business or ESET NOD32 Business http://www.pandasecurity.com/enterprise/solutions/business/ http://www.betterantivirus.com/catalog/ese...on-c-54_37.html Before I buy it I have a few queries regarding these specific products that are not mentined in their sites: 1. Are they compatible with MS Windows 2008 Server Standard 32/64bit 2. Will they be able to scan all incoming mails from Outlook, Outlook Express (POP3 / SMTP account, Not from Exchange server) on a Windows XP PRO client workstation? Thanks in advance
  6. "First you need to check if your hardware is certified to work in 2008" You mean if there are Windows 2008 drivers compatible for my current server components? Or that message when you install a driver / device that is not verified by Microsoft? "This driver / device is not certified by Microsoft, do you wish to continue, etc.." ? I get that even when I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers on Windows 2003 server, but it still worked fine. By the way, is Panda Antivirus for business compatible with Windows 2008 server? It is stated in their home site that it’s compatible with Windows 2003 but what about Windows 2008? http://www.pandasecurity.com/enterprise/solutions/business/ Thanks in advance.
  7. Hello, I have a network of 13 workstation clients (WinXP SP-2 PRO) and a server with the following specs: Intel Pentium 4 640 (Prescott Hyper-Threading) 3.2GHZ FSB800MHZ 2MB L2 Cache (Not multi-core CPU!!) DDR 2GB 400MHZ Dual Channel (PC3200 200MHZ) 300GB HD ATI Radeon X330/X550/X1050 I want to setup a Domain and so I have to choose from the following two operating systems to install in this server: Windows 2003 Standard R2 DSP License Windows 2008 Standard Sngl OLP NL GOVT (Government License) From my previous experiences, I know that Windows 2003 will work perfectly on the above setup: Windows 2003 Requirements http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...r/bb430827.aspx But the Windows 2008 government license is far better than the Windows 2003 DSP which can only be used for one PC/Server. (It gets tied to the motherboard & CPU, where as government license can be carried to the next server in case I buy a new one in the future) I checked the Windows 2008 system requirements and it should work fine on my server: Windows 2008 Requirements http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/cc196364.aspx But I know that these requirements by Microsoft are never accurate and since I have never actually seen it in action I can’t judge how well it would work on my specific server. (My CPU is not Multi-core) The services I’m interested in installing are: Active Directory / Domain Controller (With 13 Domain users), DNS service, DHCP service (The Server will give Internet to the Domain PCs via the DSL/Router) & File Sharing service. (Possibly even setting up a VPN tunnel via the DSL / Router in the future to connect to another workgroup via the Internet) So based on my setup and needs, how well would I expect Windows 2008 Standard to work on my server? I would rather avoid upgrading the hardware at the moment, but I don’t want a slow/jerky server & Domain either! Should I get Windows 2003 Standard R2 instead? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
