    Help this newbie!

    in Windows Server

    Posted · Edited by BitzFreak

    Hello,

    First I wanna' thank you for your support. But what is my question. In my home, there are living many people and many computers. I manage it for them. I'm getting sick that I so many questions get: "My computer is broken, can you help me?" So we have brought a server and a lot of workstations (aubout six). So I want to start configuring it. Quick overview of my server's hardware:

    1 Gigabit Ethernet NIC

    Support for hardware virtualisation (Hyper-V)

    4 Gigs of DDR2 RAM

    A AMD Dualcore (Athlon X2) running at 2,5Ghz

    And a lot of disk space, since I want to store everything centrally

    It's running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

    What do I want?

    A Domain (Where workstations can logon, and limited user rights, so they can't manage the settings or install unknown apps)

    A Central Firewall (Microsoft Forefront TMG with web filtering against adult content)

    A Web server (To run webmail and a site for fun)

    Maybe DNS and DHCP

    What I know is that I cant run MS Forefront TMG on a domain controller, exactly there I can use Hyper-V ;) So now my question. Where is a tutorial to configure this? I have tried already with a domain, but the logon is very slow. (About 5 minutes).

    Thanks for your support.

    OWA As standard email client

    in Windows Server

    Posted · Edited by BitzFreak

    Hello,

    First of all, I don't know if this is the right forum section. I think so, because this is for my server. So what I want? I got lots of computers in my home, and I need to reinstall a lot. I continuesly need to re configure my mail. I have a server, and I thought the following:

    How I can configure OWA (Outlook Web Access) so that I can use as a standard email client for e.g. GMail POP3/SMTP. Without having to set up a Exchange mailserver myself. And, if OWA can't do it, which web email can? I don't want to use 3 different webmails, just one webmail; hosted at home; witch my functions. So, if i need to reinstall a computer, I just have to click a link for my Email.

    A difficult story, but I hope you do understand.

    Can you guys help me out?

    Thanks in advance,

    VLite Driver Issue

    in vLite

    Posted · Edited by BitzFreak

    Hello,

    VLite have got a bug, I think. So what's my problem? I don't want Vista SP1. I just don't like it. So, if I install a compelete edition of Windows Vista (Non SP1), everything works. But, a VLited non SP1 has a lot of driver issues. Windows won't detect the right External Harddisk, even my Pen Drive isn't recognised. Even my display is know as a Generic Monitor. Because it just don't have the drivers. Now ain't gonna tell me please that I must slipstream SP1, because I don't want it, and a Full installation (Non-SP1, again) everything works very well. I didn't remove any drivers, and hardware support in VLite. What's the solution?

    Thanks in advance,

    BitzFreak

    PS: Excuse my bad English

    Edit: Like as the link below, I mounted my install.wim from the original installation DVD, and merged the files from the wim witch "\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository". That didn't work, not even after a reboot... My external harddisk is still unknown...

    VLite issue and question

    in vLite

    Posted · Edited by BitzFreak

    Hello,

    I have installed VLite and made a a Unattended DVD (Witch my own drivers slipstreamed). But I have one issue, also a question. On a normal Vista installation, all my components work. But a Vlited...:

    When I install a Vlited editon (I have choosed to not rebuild the DVD), the trouble begins. I doesn't recognize my Pen drive, but when I turn on my Toshiba external hard drive, the party begins. Windows: "New 3.5" HDD found. Please insert the DVD with the drivers". What the heck? That happens to if I insert my other pendrive. This works on a Non modified installation very well... So, how do I not destroy the pre-installed drivers?

    Now my question. How I can let Vista (with Vlite) install my wanted applications during the installation it self?

    I hope someone can help me,

    BitzFreak
