How to log in automatically or programmatically to Windows Server 2012 - windows

I have a computer that is used for getting database information from the server in the same domain, and this computer is used by employees who don't have the server admin information.
When the computer restarts, I'd like it to automatically log in to Windows Server so that it can access the database files. Is it possible to write a script for this that runs on boot?
Thanks in advance

I solved this by adding the credentials to the Credentials Manager in Windows, along with disabling the Windows Server dashboard program. This makes Windows automatically log in to the server with the stored credentials on boot.

Since your question really isn't specific, I'd like to suggest two ways of accomplishing your goal.
Since you'd like to access database information, why not use some kind of database management software (like SSMS if you're using MSSQL) and set up proper permissions for the user/computer that will need to obtain information from that particular server/database.
If you need access to raw files (which doesn't make much sense in case of MSSQL for accessing purposes), why not set up proper permissions on the file or parent folder, giving the user that is logged to the client PC proper permissions to access the files that are of interest.

No Users Or Groups Folders In VisualSVN Server

I have downloaded VisualSVN Server, version 5.1.1. In the left panel there is only Repositories and Jobs. I want to add new users for learing and testing purposes. However I can't see any settings to do so. I currently dont have a licence. Is this the main reason? If not, how can I enable Users and Groups folders or how can I reach to related settings? Keep in mind that I'm a completely newbie to this application. Any help is appreciated, thanks
I have tried to find related settings in autentication properties but I got confused and bogged down. I have tried to open the application as Administrator, still couldn't find or make sense of settings.
I also tried to find subversion authentication settings which is normally in the main page.
In the MMC snap-in, you should have a Users option down the left hand side of the tree. However, on the main Visual SVN page, you have various options, one of which should be Subversion Authentication. You can also add users and groups using the options here also (see below, for a screen shot of my SVN Server). Regarding the license, that shouldn't be an issue, as long as your requirement fits withing the "Community" licensing requirements.
If you don't see options to Create Users / Groups, use the Configure Authentication Options and set the Authentication Mode to Subversion Authentication. This will allow subversion to authenticate users based on a list that is setup within the server itself. Hope that Helps.
The Users and Groups folders are only available in the management console when your server is configured to use the standalone Subversion authentication mode. When this authentication mode is active, your server maintains a dedicated list of user and group accounts.
However, your screenshot shows that you've enabled Windows authentication. In this case, your server integrates with your Active Directory domain / Windows, and user and group accounts are maintained by Active Directory. I.e., you don't need to create users and groups in VisualSVN Server. They are already created in your domain and you can grant permissions to these accounts via the management console.
You can find more information about the authentication modes in the article KB182: VisualSVN Server authentication modes.

+Moving CodeIgniter from live to local

Perhaps someone can share their experience or advise on how to get this accomplished.
I have looked around and found only a wiki entry dealing with server migration from host to host.
Here is the setup and things I have tried:
locally I am running win 10 with XAMPP server
hosted on hostgator
Downloaded all files from live site
Did an SQL dump/import onto my local mySQL
Edited ‘exp_sites’ for paths and URLs
Edited ‘config.php’ in system folder
Result:
- can not login into backend ...that is form refreshes but no redirect. I can tell that db is being queried since since I do get error back if it is a wrong password.
Anyone has done similar setups/downloads/takve-overs of their client’s site?
Ideally, I would just like the access to CP so I can edit the settings/paths of weblogs,uploads etc.
Thanks for your time!
Are you using CI default password library for password creation? If you are using then these passwords will not work for you because this library generate server dependent passwords.

When installing Tableau Server getting error

When I am installing Tableau server I am seeing this server. I am the administrator of the system but still I was seeing the message.Please help me in this regard
It's often safer to use the default NTAuthority\NetworkService account if you're installing Tableau Server for the first time, since this is (almost always) guaranteed to work and can always be changed later.
If you do want to proceed with using SriHarsha-PC\SriHarsha as the Run As account, then take a look at the following link from the Tableau Software Knowledge Base which lists all of the permissions that your chosen account will need in order to run Tableau Server correctly.

If that does not provide sufficient information, then create a support request and Tableau Technical Support will try and help resolve the issue.

Setup Windows Azure Development Storage using a remote database

I want to setup a Windows Azure development storage on my dev machine but I don't want to install SQL server on it because I want to use an existing one on another machine. Is it possible to set up the development storage service so that it uses the SQL server from another machine?
I tried calling dsinit with the /sqlinstance argument set to the remote machine, but it doesn't have any argument to allow me to specify the login credentials.
You can use undocumented command line argument /server:.
Example: dsinit /server:remote-sql-name
Added reservation for http://127.0.0.1:10000/ in user account DOMAIN\username.
Added reservation for http://127.0.0.1:10001/ in user account DOMAIN\username.
Added reservation for http://127.0.0.1:10002/ in user account DOMAIN\username.
Creating database DevelopmentStorageDb20110816...
Granting database access to user DOMAIN\username...
The login already has an account under a different user name.
Changed database context to 'DevelopmentStorageDb20110816'.
Adding database role for user DOMAIN\username...
User or role 'user' does not exist in this database.
Changed database context to 'DevelopmentStorageDb20110816'.
Initialization successful. The storage emulator is now ready for use.
I think the short answer is no. Certainly dsinit is designed to only work on your local machine.
Can you setup the remote database server to use windows authentication and add the currently logged in user as an admin on that server? That may be enough to fool it (but I wouldn't hold my breath)
If this doesn't work and you still don't want to SQL on your development machine, then using the actual Azure storage is not a bad idea. It does cost some money, but not much and it does avoid some of the kinks that occur only in development storage.

I try to upload my data from client pc to the database which is in a server..I dont know the codeing to do that..pls send me some code for that...advanced thanks..
It would be helpful to know a bit more about what you're trying to achieve (you can edit your question to provide more information) but fundamentally you've got two options:
As its an access database you can put the .mdb file in a shared folder and it will be accessible to multiple instances of your application (store the location in the configuration data for your application). This will work - in some cases very well - but access can be a bit slow running over a network as its all file based.
Create a self hosted "web" service (WCF ideally, but I can't remember what your options are for VS2005) that provides the methods you need to interact with the database and then connect from your client applications to the "server" application over the network.
The "best" solution will depend on the detail of your problem and what you're trying to achieve. If each instance of the application accessing the database directly is the preferred choice then I'd strongly advise you look at using SQL Server Express instead of access.
