Hi
I know this question shoukd not be here . i tried this on the serverfault but not responded...! an yways my issue is :
I have the machine with installed the Windows 7 Enterprise N edition. I have installed the sql server 2008 also there . so can i install MOSS 2007 on such connfiguration? if not what should i do. i tried to install but showing not compitible prompt. what have to do? is wss3.0 already present in windows 7 like windows server 2003 ? I know i can do this by virtual PC installation , but i don't want right away to virtualize machine.
Nope. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 only installs on Windows Server operating systems from 2003 to 2008 R2.

we have an application running on windows server 2003 which needs to be migrated to windows sever 2012. Is it possible to do the as is migration without actually updating the application. The application is currently scheduled in windows scheduler on windows server 2003. Also please suggest if we can achieve this with any migration tool.
VB6 applications should generally work without changes in all current Windows versions, including Server 2012 R2 and Windows 10. The official word at Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows 10 is:
The Visual Basic team is committed to “It Just Works” compatibility for Visual Basic 6.0 applications on the following supported Windows operating systems: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 including R2, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 including R2, and Windows 10.
Now, you mention that this particular app is currently scheduled in windows scheduler. There have been significant changes between Server 2003 (or Win XP) and 2012 (or Win 8.x) in areas of security, file/registry virtualization, UAC etc. If your app violates any of the new rules, then it may require an update - but that would be because of what it does, and not because it's written in VB6.
I've installed several .exe created in vb6 in Windows Server 2012 R2 without problem.
The only question was the use of an very old setup.exe for installing, that was replaced to using an setup.msi, but the .exe and .dll and even .ocx incuded in the solution all works.
When I try to install Visual Studio 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, I have a error message from installer.

I already installed every update on Operating system.
What have I do to install VS2012 Ultimate ?
It is clearly stated by Microsoft that only 4 Windows releases are supported by Visual Studio 2012, and Windows Server 2008 (non-R2) is not qualified,
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x64)

I believe the link included in the error message can also lead you to this information.
So stop your fight in vain and try to build a qualified machine.
I have asked our IT team to install Lync 2010 in my Windows 2003 server machine.
IT person told that it can't be installed in Windows 2003 server.
Is it not compatible with Windows 2003 server or any other extra software update do we need to install?
I am using Windows 2003 server standard edition sp2.
Lync 2010 requires Windows Server 2008 or later. The previous release, OCS 2007 R2, can be installed on Windows 2003.
I wanted to get some feedback about the problems we might face if we deploy Sharepoint 2007 on Windows 2008 instead on windows 2003
Windows SharePoint Services 3 is supported just fine on Windows 2008. You'll need to make sure that you're using SP1.
See answers on ServerFault:
Installing Office SharePoint 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2?
Installing Sharepoint 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2
To save you time two main points of the solution are:
Create your own slip-streamed installation of SharePoint with the latest Service Pack included (SP3 at the moment) and then install this directly onto Windows Server 2008 R2.
Activate .NET Framework 3.5.1 feature in Windows Server to get rid of the Windows Workflow Foundation error
I am a developer and have a XP laptop that I use to dev a SQL 2005 database and MSAccess 2003 frontend database as well as VS2003 website.
I want to upgrade to Win 7 using XP mode to install the software above. This is because I still want to install Office 2007 on Win7 etc.
Do you think XP mode on Win7 will be reliable enough for this? Also do all xp mode apps have to run in the xp mode window? Is it possible to access xp mode SQL db from Windows 7 mode?
Visual Studio .NET 2003 is not compatible with Windows 7 and would have to be run in XP Mode. Visual Studio 2005 will require Service Pack 1 to work properly as well. SQL Server 2005 will install without a problem at all.
The XP mode offered in Windows 7 is basically an integrated Windows Virtual PC. The XP mode can be reliable (if you think we can call XP reliable) but the performance of a virtual machine will always be lower comparing to a natively installed windows xp.
You can make the SQL db in the XP mode accessible from Windows 7, since XP Mode is essentially a virtual machine, you need to configure the database in the Virtual Machine to allow external connections to it as a database server.
