Windows Home Server

Filed under: Server Printing — Tags: , , — admin @ 9:32 am

A home server operating system developed by Microsoft is Windows Home Server. This Server is specified as a solution for those homes in which there are many number of linked PCs are present. It will provide them file sharing, machine controlled backups and remote access. Windows Home Server is grounded on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.

Windows Home Server was launched on 7 November 2007. Power Pack 1 for Windows Home Server was launched on July 20 2008 and Power Pack 2 was on March 20 2009. Some of its features are as:

Centralized Backup – Windows Home Server permits backup of up to 10 PCs, with the use of Single Instance Store technology. This technology is used to avoid the numerous copies of the same file, even if that file is present on multiple PCs.

Health Monitoring - It is capable of tracking the health of all PCs present on the network, including antivirus and firewall status. File Sharing – Windows Home Server provides network parts for computers to store the files remotely, in this manner it works like a network attached storage device. Different categories are offered for common file types such as Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos.

Printer Sharing – It permits a centralized print server to manage multiple print jobs for all users.

Shadow Copy – It accepts the earnings from the of Volume Shadow Copy Services, to grant the older versions of files to be recovered.

Headless Operation – In it there is no any requirement of monitor or keyboard to manage the device. Remote administration is done with the Windows Home Server Console client software available in the suit. It also supports Remote Desktop associations with the server while it is linked with the same LAN.

Remote Access Gateway – Windows Home Server grants remote access to any linked PC present on the network over the Internet.

Media Streaming – It is capable of streaming media to an Xbox 360 or to other devices which supports Windows Media Connect.

Selective Data redundancy – It defends against a single drive failure, because it replicates the selected data across various drives.

Expandable Storage – It gives a integrated and easily expandable storage space and takes away the requirement of drive letters.

Extensibility through Add-Ins – Its add-ins permit third-party developers to improve the features and functionality of the server.

Server Backup – It also takes back up of those files which are saved in the shared folders, present on the server in an external hard drive.

Professional Printing for Windows Server 2008

Filed under: Server Printing — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 2:18 am

Berlin, Germany (PRWEB) March 14, 2008

In concurrence with the release of Windows Server 2008, ThinPrint, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, will release a version of its print management solution ThinPrint .print for the new Windows operating system. This will allow companies who switch to Windows Server 2008 to continue using ThinPrint’s proven features after March 2008.

The new Windows Server 2008 provides a great basis for application delivery infrastructures. However, in these complex, highly-distributed architectures with different operating systems everyday printing from PCs and thin clients becomes problematic even for IT experts.

ThinPrint’s solution provides a remedy which will soon be available for Windows Server 2008. ThinPrint .print is continuously improving over the course of product generations and is the market-leading solution in server-based computing. The solution is flexible, cross-platform capable, and can be smoothly integrated into heterogeneous environments. It supports dedicated print servers, network printers, and thin clients, and simplifies integration of home workstations with local printers. Other features include automatic mapping of available printers as well as the tracking of print jobs and SSL-encrypted transmission of print data. In environments with SAP and Unix spool servers, the .print Host Integration Service enables dynamic and user-oriented distribution of print data. Even batch print jobs can be transmitted this way via ICA or RDP. The DRIVER FREE PRINTING technology renders complex rollouts and administration of native printer drivers unnecessary. In addition, thanks to DRIVER FREE PRINTING, companies with 64-bit platforms or Windows Vista clients can seamlessly integrate older printers in their environment, even if no driver has been published for these operating systems. Other core solution features include connection-oriented bandwidth control and compression of print data (ADVANCED ADAPTIVE COMPRESSION up to 89 percent of the original size).

“Windows Server 2008 is a big step for location-independent access to applications and is sure to enhance interest in this topic,” says Charlotte Künzell, General Manager at ThinPrint .print. “Our solution is ideal to optimize printing documents in all application scenarios – no matter how complex.”

ThinPrint will present its solution at CeBIT 2008 in line with its Green IT Solutions, which makes it possible to reduce hardware purchases, and paper and toner usage as well as monitoring print costs.

ThinPrint .print for Windows Server 2008 will be available worldwide at the end of March.

A beta version of the software is available now at thinprint.com/beta7.6

Windows Server 2008 Review

server printing
by Dominic Hargreaves

Windows Server 2008 Review

Windows Server 2008 is the most substantial upgrade to the Windows Server product line since Windows 2000, with a sweeping set of capabilities and a reengineered core that will usher in a new era of 64-bit server computing. Like its Windows Vista stable mate, Windows Server 2008 was in development an achingly long time, and some of its many features were originally slated for its predecessors, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2. Unlike Vista, however, this lengthy schedule hasn’t proven problematic. In fact, it’s arguably worked to the product’s advantage: This is a refined, mature, and stable operating system that will no doubt power server systems of all kinds for years to come.

Though Windows Server 2008 utilizes an evolved version of the Active Directory (AD) infrastructure that first debuted in Windows 2000, many of the features of this new OS are radical and revolutionary. Key among these major advances are Server Core, which provides a lightweight version of the server aimed at specific workloads, and Hyper-V, Microsoft’s hypervisor-based virtualization technology. (This latter technology is currently available only in beta form; see below for details.) As befits a major Windows Server upgrade, however, Windows Server 2008 also includes a slew of smaller functional advances as well as key gains in scalability, reliability, manageability, performance, and security

Charting the changes: A look at new Windows Server 2008 functionality

Windows Server 2008 is feature-rich upgrade with numerous functional advantages over its predecessors. Here are some the changes in this release that I feel will have the biggest customer impact.

Componentization with a purpose
Microsoft has completely rearchitected Windows Server to be functionally componentized, a major change that has wide-reaching ramifications. At a high level, componentization allows for a more easily serviceable system, both for Microsoft and its customers. It also provides for a more secure and reliable system, because communication and dependencies between individual components is kept to a minimum.

More specifically, componentization enables some of Windows Server 2008′s most exciting new functionality, such as its image-based deployment facilities, roles-based management, and Server Core.

Server Manager
While previous versions of Windows Server featured separate management consoles for all of the various roles and features in the OS and, in Windows Server 2003, a simple Manage Your Server dashboard, Windows Server 2008 provides the new Server Manager. This is a true one-stop shop for daily management needs and is the only tool that many Windows administrators will need to use on a regular basis.

The MMC-based Server Manager provides a user interface for managing each installed role and feature on the system, including Active Directory Domain Services, Application Server, DHCP Server, DNS Server, File Services, Terminal Services, Web Server, and many others. It also includes numerous valuable troubleshooting tools like Event Viewer, Services, and Reliability and Performance utilities, configuration tools like Task Scheduler, Windows Firewall, WMI Control, and Device Manager, and the new Windows Server Backup.

What makes Server Manager even more useful is that each section of the console’s UI gets its own dedicated home page, each of which includes information pertinent to the role or feature at hand, along with links to fix problems, get more information, and access other tools. It’s a thoughtful, well-designed application, both logical and useful.

Server Core
Unlike previous Windows Server versions, most Windows Server 2008 product editions can be installed in two modes, the traditional GUI-based server we’ve had since Windows NT 3.1 and a lightweight new command line-based environment called Server Core. In this new installation mode, Microsoft has stripped out virtually all the GUI, so there’s no shell (Start Menu, taskbar, Explorer windows, etc.), and little in the way of end user applications; such things as Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, and Windows Mail are all missing, though a few GUI-based applications, like Notepad and Task Manager, are still available. For the most part, the only user interface you’ll see in Server Core is a single command line window floating over an empty blue backdrop. It’s the ultimate anti-demo.

So what’s the point? Server Core is designed to reduce the attack surface of the server to be as small as possible. As such, a Server Core install is also more limited than that of a standard Windows Server 2008 installation. It supports just nine roles, including AD, AD LDS, DHCP, DNS, File, Print, Virtualization (Hyper-V), Web Server, and WMS, compared to 18 roles in the full server.

Because Server Core is still Windows Server 2008, all of the familiar GUI-based management tools will work just fine remotely against this server. What won’t work, in addition to the missing roles, is anything that requires a true GUI or the .NET Framework. This cancels out some key Windows Server 2008 functionality, unfortunately, including ASP .NET: Server Core’s Web Server role is pretty much static only, supporting only older, non-.NET technologies like ASP.

My expectation is that Server Core will prove hugely popular as an infrastructure (AD, DNS, DHCP, file, print) server and as a low-cost, low-end Web server. It’s a product that should compete well with Linux-based solutions.

BitLocker Full-Drive Encryption
BitLocker is a full-drive encryption solution that first debuted in Windows Vista as a way to protect data stored on easily lost and stolen executive notebook computers. It requires TPM 1.2-based hardware to store encryption keys and can be configured via Group Policy.

On the server, BitLocker is particularly valuable for machines stored in branch offices, because those servers are often less well physically protected than the machines back in the home office. If a thief walks off with a BitLocker-protected server, they won’t be able to access any of the data stored on the system’s hard drives. BitLocker also works really well with some of the other technologies discussed here to create a truly secure and useful branch office solution. (See the RODC section below for an example.)

Read-Only Domain Controller
Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) is new functionality that allows administrators to optionally configure the AD database as read-only, where only locally cached user passwords are stored on the machine and AD replication is unidirectional, rather than bidirectional.

For more stuff pls visit http://www.systechblog.com/

So why would you want to do this? Today, many organizations are installing servers in branch offices and other remote locations, and these servers often connect back to the home office using slow or unreliable WAN links. That makes AD replication–and even authentication–an arduous and lengthy process. With RODC, the server is typically set up and configured in the home office, shipped to the remote location, and then switched on. From then on, only the user names and passwords of users who hit the server locally–and not the administrator account–are cached locally on the server.

Like BitLocker, RODC is an excellent solution for physically insecure remote servers. Indeed, if you combine RODC with other new Windows Server 2008 technologies like BitLocker and Server Core, you can configure the most secure remote server possible. That way, even hackers who gain physical control of the server can’t take over your network. And removing the stolen RODC from your AD is as simple as checking a switch: Only those users who logged on to that machine will need to change their passwords. You won’t have to institute an organization-wide emergency, because most users’ accounts will not have been cached on that machine.

RODC is somewhat limited in that it can only support a subset of the roles and functionality normally supported on Windows Server 2008. For example, RODC-based servers can support technologies such as ADFS, DHCP, DNS, Group Policy (GP), DFS, MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager), and SMS (System Management Server).

 

 

Internet Information Services 7
The new Web server in Windows Server 2008 is driven by a major new update to Internet Information Services (IIS). Like the server itself, IIS 7 is completely componentized so that only those components needed for the desired configuration are installed and, thus, need to be serviced. It sports a drastically improved management console, supports xcopy Web application deployment and delegated administration, and is backed by a new .NET-based configuration store, which replaces the previous, monolithic, configuration store.

Terminal Services
Terminal Services (TS) sees some major changes in Windows Server 2008. The new TS RemoteApp functionality allows admins to remotely deploy individual applications to desktops, instead of entire PC environments, which can be confusing to users. These applications download and run on user desktops and, aside from the initial logon dialog box, function and look almost exactly as they would were they installed locally. This functionality requires the new Remote Desktop client, which shipped in Windows Vista and can be downloaded for Windows XP with SP2 and above.

TS Gateway lets you tunnel TS sessions over HTTPS outside the corporate firewall, so that users can access their remote applications on the road without having to configure a VPN client. This is particularly useful because VPN connections are often blocked at wireless access points, whereas HTTPS rarely is.

TS gets a few small but useful changes as well. These include TS Easy Print, which makes it easy to print to local printers from remote sessions, 32-bit color support in TS sessions; and seamless copy and paste operations between the host OS and remote sessions.

Network Access Protection
Microsoft first planned to ship simple and easily configurable network quarantining functionality in Windows Server 2003, but it’s here at last with Network Access Protection (NAP). This feature allows you to setup security policies for your network: When a client system connects, NAP examines the device to make sure it meets the requirements of your security policies. Those that do are allowed online. Those that do not–typically machines that only connect infrequently to the network, such as those used by travelling employees–are pushed aside into a quarantined part of the network, where they can be updated. How these updates happen depends on the configuration of your environment, but once that’s complete, the system is given full access again and allowed back on the network. NAP includes remediation failback to Windows Update or Microsoft Update if the local Windows Server Update Services server is unavailable, and compatibility with Cisco’s Network Admission Control (NAC) quarantining technologies.

Windows Firewall
For the first time, Windows Server ships with a firewall that is enabled by default. The new Windows Firewall is bidirectional and works seamlessly with all of the roles and features you can configure in Windows Server 2008. In fact, the Firewall is part of the new roles-based management model: As you enable and disable various roles and features, Windows Firewall is automatically configured in the background so that only the required ports are opened. This is a major change, and one that could hamper compatibility with third party products, so testing will be crucial.

Command line and scripting goodness
Those who prefer to automate their servers will rejoice at the new command line and scripting enhancements in Windows Server 2008, though I’m a bit concerned by the haphazard and temporary nature of some of these changes. In this version of Windows Server, we’re seeing the beginning of the transition from the old DOS-like command line to the new .NET-based PowerShell environment. For now, however, you’ll need to have a toe in both environments to best take advantage of the new capabilities. Server Core, for example, does not support PowerShell.

One the command line side, we get two major additions: A Server Core management utility called oclist.exe and a command line version of Server Manager called servermanagercmd.exe. Both are designed with the same premise, providing ways to configure and manage the roles that are possible under each environment.

PowerShell is a complex but technically impressive environment, with support for discoverable .NET-based objects, properties, and methods. It provides all of the power of UNIX command line environments with none of the inconsistencies. The issue, of course, is whether Windows-based administers will quickly move to this new command line interface. Sadly, Windows Server 2008 doesn’t help matters much: It doesn’t ship with any PowerShell commandlets–fully contained scripts that can be executed from the command line–that can handle common management tasks. Microsoft tells me it will ship Windows Server 2008 commandlets on its Web site over time, however, and it expects a healthy community to quickly evolve as well.

Hyper-V
One of the most important and future-looking technologies in Windows Server 2008 isn’t even available in the initial shipping version of the product. Instead, Microsoft is shipping a beta version of its Hyper-V virtualization platform with Windows Server 2008 and will update it automatically when the technology is finalized sometime after mid-2008. Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization platform that brings various performance advantages when compared to application-level virtualization platforms like Virtual Server. Compared to market leader VMWare, Microsoft’s offering is immature and unproven, but its inclusion in Windows Server 2008 is sure to garner Microsoft some attention and market share. And there are advantages to this bundling: From a management perspective, Hyper-V is installed and managed as a role under Windows 2008, just like DHCP, file and print services, and other standard roles. That means it’s easy to configure, manage, and service.

Hyper-V ships only with x64-based versions of the product and relies on hardware virtualization features that are only available in the latest AMD and Intel chipsets. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit guest operating systems, up to 32 GB of RAM in each guest OS, and up to 4 CPU cores for each guest OS. Hyper-V is compatible with virtual machines created for Microsoft’s earlier virtualization products, like Virtual PC and Virtual Server.

Availability and licensing
As with Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 is available in several different product editions. These editions support different hardware platforms (32-bit x86, 64-bit x64, and Itanium), some of which include support for the Hyper-V virtualization technologies and some that do not. (Note that Hyper-V is only enabled on x64 versions of Windows Server 2008; Microsoft sells versions with and without Hyper-V included.)

Backing Up Windows Print Server Configurations

Filed under: Server Printing — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 9:31 pm

Print servers are among my least favorite systems to have to recreate from scratch. Finding the right drivers for a plethora of different printer models is only the first step in the process. You then need to make sure that you have the right network and share settings for all the printers; then comes the fun of setting paper sizes, tray assignments, default finishing options, etc. Even in a small environment, it’s enough to drive someone insane.

to recover all your lost data, visit http://www.data-recovery.online-product-reviews.net/

Fortunately, there is an easier way and there are only a couple “gotchas”.

You need to put the backup process in place BEFORE your print server fails
This approach will only address restoring printers to a like OS. I.e. Windows 2003 32-bit -> Windows 2003 32 bit, not Windows 2003 -> Windows 2008 (If you are doing a scheduled upgrade, use the Print Management Snap-in)
This approach will not address printers that store files outside of the Print Spooler folder structure, so many personal inkjet printers will not be covered

This approach is made possible by a simply utility called PRINTMIG included in the Resource Kit for Windows 2003. PRINTMIG is a utility that captures the drivers and settings for all local printers on a system and compresses them into a single CAB file. It also can read the CAB file and restore the print settings and drivers.

Note: The latest version of PRINTMIG for Windows 2003 does work in a Windows 2008 environment. I have not tested it with Windows 2008 R2 though. It may work. It may not.

to recover all your lost data, visit http://www.data-recovery.online-product-reviews.net/

Fortunately, PRINTMIG includes the ability to be controlled from the command line, so automating the backup process is simple. If you want to capture the print config to a CAB file of the same name as the server stored in the c:\backups folder, you simply need to setup a scheduled task to run:

PRINTMIG -b c:\backups\%COMPUTERNAME%.CAB

Then it is a simple matter of capturing the created CAB file to your backup media.

If you wish to restore, the configuration, you can simply run PRINTMIG and choose the restore option from the menu, or run:

PRINTMIG -r “Path to CAB File”

Now if you experience a print server failure, it is a simple matter of building a new server with the same name as the previous print server and running the PRINTMIG utility to restore the previous printer settings and drivers. If you need to build the server as a different name, no problem, PRINTMIG will restore the printer settings, to the new server regardless of name; however you will need to make other arrangements to change all of the end-user printer mappings to point to the new server.

At a previous employer, we had moved our print servers almost exclusively to dedicated VMs on VMWare’s ESX server. This is because we could use a machine template and PRINTMIG to recreate a brand new print server in <15 minutes in the event of a system failure.

Digital Labs, LLC Releases WiSSH 2.0, a Windows Remote Desktop over SSH tool

Filed under: Remote Printing — Tags: , , , , , , , , — admin @ 9:00 pm

(PRWEB) July 11, 2005

WiSSH Remote Access Technology provides easy, secure, controlled remote access to systems inside your network perimeter. WiSSH version 2.0 adds enhanced capabilities to make the remote access experience even better for both users and network administrators.

WiSSH 2.0 is a major update that provides many more options for network administrators to manage remote users. The use of improved policies in the Corporate Edition help simplify and control how users are able to access internal network resources from anywhere on the Internet. Other improvements on the Standard Edition include a private key generator and improved session logging.

WiSSH couples Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol with the trusted open source SSH protocol in a lightweight client will give you or your customers a highly reliable, scalable solution to your remote access needs. WiSSH supports remote printing, drive access, sound and copy/paste if supported by the remote system. Client side logs are able to greatly assist support staff when troubleshooting connections. Easy rollout options can allow administrators to deploy the software preinstalled with keys and connection defaults.

WiSSH can easily work with your existing SSH server or you can utilize a dedicated system various operating systems and SSH Daemon server types.

WiSSH allows access through the Gateway SSH server to:

•Windows 2000 Terminal Servers

•Windows 2003 Terminal Servers

•Windows NT Terminal Server Edition

•Windows XP with Remote Desktop enabled

•Windows 2000/2003 Servers with Remote Administration enabled.

Users will see the desktop they have come to expect, with the same access and roles they have while at the office. No learning how to map drives from their home computer, issues with domain logins and rights, hosts and lmhost files, installing software that breaks their home network, incompatible NAT routers, or strange web interfaces that won’t allow them the same features that they are used to.

WiSSH is the perfect solution for when you have limited exposed Internet addresses but need to connect to many internal hosts. If you need to directly connect to many different servers or workstations WiSSH only needs a single exposed SSH Gateway Server’s IP address. This allows a connection to every host internal to your network, thus protecting your infrastructure.

WiSSH Corporate Edition provides a rollout script that can be customized so that an end user should only have to install the software, click the icon, enter a password, and they are connected. Global policies allow network administrators to lock down client options. Individual policies can override or enhance the global policies. Logging features can let network administrators know who is connecting to which remote servers to greatly enhance system auditing.

WiSSH Standard Edition lists for $ 89.95 USD with volume discounts available.

WiSSH Corporate Edition is priced at ten user license for $ 799.00 USD with volume discounts available.
