Hadoop on windows server: Is HDInsight for windows server supported to run on a Domain Controller? - hadoop

On my Demo Machine: I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and it's also domain controller. I installed HDInsight for windows server via Web Platform Installer but I do NOT see a site under IIS using which I can manage my cluster. So just wondering if HDInsight is not supported on a Domain Controller? Or is there any other configuration that I should check. Thanks!

October 31st, 2012 update: Unofficially, Microsoft agrees that installing HDInsight on a server with AD installed is not supported. Now, I would like to confirm that a domain member will be fine, but that will only be in a few days.

Windows CE 4.0 with Windows Server 2012

In my company, we have upgraded the Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 and we have some thin clients with an old version of RDP and they can't connect to the Server 2012 because when I does, I get this message: Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged on to the network, and then try connecting again.
Our thin clients are: Compaq Evo T30 and a Neoware CA19 and they have Windows CE 4.0 installed by default.
Searching in internet, I've found this tutorial: http://www.hjgode.de/wp/2014/03/12/windows-server-2012-rds-and-windows-mobile-connection-error/ but I can't apply it to our server because we don't want to have less security.
I've searched everything on internet to configure the Windows CE to be able to connect to our server 2012 but I can't find anything helpful :( Seriously, we don't want to apply the steps of the previous tutorial, we prefer buying new Thin Clients instead of doing that, but it will be better if there is a way to be able to connect to the server 2012 without changing anything in the server.
Anyone can help me? Please, it's very important.
Thanks in advance! :)
Unless there is a way to update your clients to a newer release of Windows CE that support new RDP versions (you should test that first) probably replacing them is the only option.

Should I use a windows service?

Hi I have a console app which I need to start up when Windows Server 2012 starts and without needing to login. I've done a bit of research and people advise a windows service is the correct approach, however the links are quite old and I wanted to confirm this is still the case, or indeed correct at all. Cheers.
Yes, Windows Service is still the most popular way to write and run servers and or a 'daemon' in Windows OS.
Depending on what your application is doing, you might have other options though, e.g. hosting an application in IIS (Microsoft's Web server application in Windows Server).
More recently, Microsoft has been working with Docker to also allow the use of containerized application deployments, which is available in new versions of Windows Server (Windows Server 2016).

Sharepoint and Active Directory

I would like to create a server infrastructure for SharePoint Server 2013. We would like to buy 2 servers, which the first one will be a domain controller and on the second there will be a SharePoint Server. Now I am thinking about Windows Server version to buy. I would like to buy Windows Server 2012 Standard R2, which will be installed on a domain controller server. On the SharePoint server I am planning to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2.
We will have about 100 CAL licences on AD.
The question is if it will work with Essentials server.
Thank you for you answers.
Please look at the Microsoft SharePoint Requirements page -> https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx
In general it will work. The problem is the CAL number. With Essentials you can only have a max number of 75 CALs.
Here is also a good article about that topic: http://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=3617
This new Windows Server 2012 Essentials however is different again – it’s designed with a limit of 25 users. After that you need to
break it out into the normal Windows Server products with the normal
Windows Server CALs.

such as:thisand this
but none helped.so I thought maybe I am going wrong,so due to this:which is my own question,i think maybe i am using windows server 2003 and iis6,so i googled to install frontpage for iis6,from here,but I don't have such a thing "FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions" in turn windows features on or off,so what should I do?please help me to get out of this hell,should I upgrade iis6 to iis7?please help,i will be so thankful.
by the way my os is windows 7 64 bit,and I use visual studio 2010.
FrontPage server extensions (FSE) is a server side package that FrontPage and some other Microsoft applications use to upload files to web sites. FSE must be installed on the server in order for these applications to upload files. FSE has nothing to do with Microsoft desktop products directly. It is often installed on Apache systems, for example. cPanel has an option to install it, if you are using that to manage your server.
IIS should come with FSE already installed, AFAIK. That would certainly make sense, with it being a Microsoft product.

Frontpage server extensions install problem

Here is the antenced of my story
I've got a problem with the VS or IIS. I don't know.
When in the Visual Studio 2010 I try to create website: throw up the follow errormessage:
Unable to create the Wet site'http://www.ecommerce.com'. The Web server does not appear to have FrontPage Server Extensions installe.
I download the Frontpage extension from here: http://www.iis.net/community/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1630
Then I read how can it install, but when the article write that:
To extend a Web site using HTML Administration pages on Windows, use the following steps:
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft SharePoint Administrator to open the Server Administration page.
In the list of virtual servers, click Extend next to the virtual server you want to extend.
In the Administrator box, type the user name for the administrator of the virtual server.
Click Submit.
I don't find Microsoft SharePoint Administrator on my Windows 7 Profesionnal 64 bit
or
You can extend a Web site by using the command-line tools, owsadm or owsrmadm. These tools are located in the "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\50\bin" folder. To extend a Web site, use the install operation, which takes the following parameters.
I don't find the Web Server Extennsions dir on my Windows 7 Profesionnal 64 bit
I have read another article where write that, Use the Visual Studio DVD go to WCU dir and into the Web Server ... dir, but I don't find...
I download the FPSE and install with my local Administration account.
But the Visaul Studio Always says: The WEb server does not appear to haver FPSE installed.
How can I fix it? Install it?
Bad news (may not be so bad): FPSE for IIS 7 and 7.5 are not supported. Alternative is to use WebDav and here's an article explaining how to migrate FPSE Sites to WebDAV.
Good News (may not be so good due to licensing part): As of December 18, 2010, Ready-to-Run Software Inc. has created Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) 2002 for IIS 7 and 7.5.
See this announcement from MS: FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for IIS 7.0 on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista
If the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed, this error may occur because the _vti_bin virtual directory is not marked executable. To correct this problem, run the Internet Service Manager, select the Web server having the problem, and use the Check Server Extensions task.
