Customers who invest the .vhd file format – the format used by Virtual Server, as well as a multitude of vendor licensees - will have a clear path forward to Windows Server virtualization. Customers can work with Microsoft’s partners who provide solutions to conveniently migrate from VMware to Windows Server virtualization.

Windows Server virtualization provides customers an ideal platform for key virtualization scenarios, such as production server consolidation, business continuity management, software test and development, and development of a dynamic data center. Windows Server virtualization provides key functionality which an ideal virtualization platform should provide - scalability, high performance, reliability, security, flexibility and manageability.

Windows Server virtualization, previously codenamed Viridian, is a hypervisor-based technology that is a part of Windows Server “Longhorn”. It provides a scalable, secure and highly available virtualization platform. It is part of Microsoft’s ongoing effort to provide our customers and partners with the best operating system platform for virtualization.

Some of the capabilities of Windows Server virtualization will include x64 host and guest support, ability to run guest machines in a multi-processor environment, dynamic resource management, and ability to move running virtual machines with minimal downtime.

Yes, migrate to Windows Server 2003. If you have already started migrating to Windows 2000 then continue with the existing migration before considering a new one.

Virtualization is a term that is often applied to a wide range of technologies. Essentially, virtualizing a technology decouples the software used in that realm from the hardware. In the area of server virtualization, this means that multiple server environments (Windows, Linux etc) can be housed on a single piece of physical hardware. In this way, two Linux servers and a Windows server running on three separate machines could be virtualized and run on a single blade server box.

The Plan Change Tool does not support this type of migration. Do not attempt to process this change as it will result in downtime and technical problems to the site. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Prestwood Support.

As of January 2004, The Plan Change Tool supports UNIX or FreeBSD plans migrating into the Windows Server 2003 plans. The migration process involves a Server Move. Details regarding server moves can be found on the Dealer Kit. Additionally, you can contact our Technical Support team for assistance.

No. However, if such a migration plan later becomes a possibility, we will send an announcement to all of our Partners and we will also post that announcement prominently in the Dealer Kit.

The Team Foundation Visual SourceSafe converter tool transfers files, folders, version history, and user information from a Visual SourceSafe database to Team Foundation source control. Read more.

While there is no converter available from Microsoft that will migrate source code from CVS or Subversion, ComponentSoftware (not affiliated with Microsoft) is offering CS-Converter for evaluation. From their press release: CS-Converter is a powerful and reliable conversion tool, used to migrate from various legacy version control systems (such as RCS, CVS, Subversion and Visual SourceSafe) to Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) system.

Windows Home Server is software that enables families with multiple PCs to easily connect their digital experiences, providing a reliable and familiar way to protect, organize and share treasured digital images, music, video, and documents.

Our servers are setup so that they generate revenue and run at peak performance. To do this we run our servers at 45-65% capacity, this reduces the load, therefore increasing performance. Unlike other hosting companies that will pack their servers full, we concentrate more on maintaining performance and less on maximizing the revenue generated per server.

With our customers' best interests in mind, OCBC's intention is for all existing Internet and Mobile Banking users to migrate to 2FA as soon as possible, and we are targeting to get all users on 2FA by the 31st of March 2007.

All they have to do is select their preferred mode of 2FA access after they have logged into Internet Banking.

BackOffice Server and its components such as Exchange, SQL will work on Windows 2000 however specific service pack's/fixes are required for the products to enable full functionality. A list of fixes needed are listed at http://www.microsoft.com/backofficeserver/prodinfo/win2000sps.htm.

There are some new timeout problems during negotiation (I think). An LDAP option has been set in version 1.2, and it has resolved this issue.

Later this year, a variety of manufacturers, including Fujitsu-Siemens, Gateway, HP, Iomega, LaCie, Medion and others will be offering products powered by Windows Home Server, providing a complete hardware and software solution.

Mac users have the ability to save to and remotely access Windows Home Server. The Windows Home Server Console and pre-configured PC automatic backups works on Windows Vista and Windows XP.
