My Clearcase Version: 7.1.0 .
My os is windows 7, after I installed Clearcase. I couldn't create a dynamic view by using Create View.And I found that when i start clearcase service from control panel, there is only two service.
Is there any ways to correct this problem except to download a higher version.
ClearCase 7.1.2 is deployed on our Windows 7 at work.
However, when I see that there is only two services, that means MVFS (which is a device, not a driver) has failed to install properly.
The usual fix is to uninstall and reinstall ClearCase.
But there is no guarantee for 7.1.0.
The OP adds:
I have reinstall it three times, but the problem still exists
That confirms 7.1.0 is not supported (at least for the dynamic views part) on Windows 7.
As "System Requirements for ClearCase 7.1.x" confirms, Windows7 SP1 actually needs 7.1.2.3 at minimum.
And even then, you can have some issue: " PM54437: Windows 7 64bit MVFS clients flood albd_server of the View Server host with ALBD_FIND_SERVER RPCs" (which needs 7.1.2.6)
So getting the latest 7.1.x is recommended.
In your case though, since it isn't possible to get a version above 7.1.0, you can try and install a Virtual PC Windows Xp on your Windows 7.
Microsoft Virtual PC for Windows (formerly Connectix Virtual PC) is a client based software virtualization application that allows simultaneous operating systems to run on a single PC.
Each virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system—from processor to network card—in a self-contained, isolated software environment, enabling the simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible systems.
ClearCase does support Virtual PC.

I'm working to install the Crystal Reports Runtime (SP31) on a Windows Server 2016 machine, and I just wanted to know - is there anything special I need to know about the installation process? Any special steps that are needed that are different from installing on a local user machine? Any known issues?
Just remember that the choice of 32-bit vs 64-bit is NOT based on the platform. Even if the machine is 64-bit, you should still install the 32-bit version if your app was compiled for 32-bit.
Similarly, data connectivity (e.g. ODBC) should be 32-bit if the app was compiled for 32-bit.
Also, be aware that if the machine has another application that uses the Crystal runtime, but from another service pack, you might run into conflicts.
Can I install Visual Studio Code on Windows server 2008 ?
I am a developer but I sent the information to my administrators and they told me that the setup file crashes after launched
I get seput file from hee https://code.visualstudio.com/download

First time answering here so bare with my vintage reply formatting. (also pardon that i couldn't capture screen due to server is on a intranet that not accessible on this device causing a long reply)
Being a unfortunate fellow that need to work on legacy Systems and Application frequently, i happen to have a fresh 2008R2 server recently setup by my team's Server Admin with following specs:
processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5220 CPU # 2.20Ghz - 2.19 GHz ,
OS: Windows Server 2008R2 x64 ,
RAM: 8GB
The versions that is able to install was 1.70.3,which is the same version that is the last supporting versions for Windows 7 as well,if you happen to need to work on devices using that OS version.
although i'm uncertain whether it is a VM or not, i'd like to point out a few more things that your question did not cover but need to consider:
The installer version (System setup vs User Setup)
aside from the x64 |x86 | ARM installer differences, as you've not mentioned which versions of the build and which exact setup installer you sent to your admin, i've first replied which build version successfully installed on 2008R2, which as of writing the latest build was 1.73.0 and on run,it pop up a error message as follow regardless of System/User Setup:
This Program does not support the version of windows your computer is running.
in our current case that we want specific previous versions installer, VScode FAQ on previous versions have a URL lists that enables you to download a specific build version of your preferred setup. For my case (and also refer below to exactly why this one), i've go for System setup, and i know the aprox. supporting version was ~1.70.0, so i used the link as below and replace the {version} to start:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/{version}/win32-x64/stable
Active Domain, Multiple user sessions etc.
Per VSCode requirements page stated,
VS Code does not support multiple simultaneous users using the software on the same machine, including shared virtual desktop
infrastructure machines or a pooled Windows/Linux Virtual Desktop host
pool.
as im not sure do you work solo or do have fellow colleagues to code on the server at the same time, you might need to reconsider to install using user or System setup.
if your intentions are to use exclusively on a specific AD account, then user setup should probably be good enough.
however, if the intentions was to setup say a shared Remote desktop connections on the VM that allows multiple RDC sessions simultaneously for coding,programming etc., so you intend to install a system setup to allow all users on said server to be able to use VScode, then you might run into the problem the VScode requirements stated it does not support.
in addition, as i was remote connected as administrator , when using a 1.70.2 user setup ,a different warning message as follow was thrown:
This user Installer is not meant to be run as Administrator. If you would like to install VS Code for all users in this system, download the system Installer instead.Are you sure you want to continue?
as the installer itself also checks with the operator on this matter, your admin may have skipped on the exact reasons why the install failed and just told you the installer crashed.
if you absolutely need VScode to run on the server but can't install for reasons, the last resort (aside from going for alternatives like notepad++) is to Setup a Portable Mode builds on your own workstation/devices first, then upload the package to the server and use it from there.
i wouldn't go into too much detail in that as this reply already span for a starwars trilogy length but keep in mind, version limitations still apply, and whatever add-ons you need, you need to download them first before bundle it into the package to upload and run on your server.
Anyone that is a System admin or infrastructure architects , do correct me on my novice understanding on Server settings etc. as although i'm primarily a programmer, i did end up touching a lot more things that i'm not specialized into over the few years of vendor career work so there bound to be incorrect/inaccurate concepts i spilled. cheers.
I'm considering getting a collection of Dell PowerEdge servers. Dell documentation is pretty poor (no surprise there) and I have trouble figuring out if I can go with iDRAC Basic or if I need iDRAC Express or Enterprise.
My need is to install Ubuntu Server (minimal install with SSH is enough). After install all I need is SSH and possibly a remote "reset" button. I can install the OS before taking the system to server room so I don't really need remote OS deployment tools. However, the server does not have a graphics adapter. Is it possible to install Ubuntu with just iDRAC Basic or do I need additional hardware?
#iwork4dell Remote OS deployment implies Virtual Console (like VNC) and Virtual Media (using a remote ISO like a local DVD). These are Enterprise license features. OS deployment tools are are the driver pack that is stored in flash on the server and made available during OS installation to support new hardware on older OSes.
The iDRAC is an integrated VGA adapter so all the Power Edge servers do have a video adapter in them unless you disable it in BIOS. If your willing to attach a keyboard and monitor to the server basic is all you need. You can also upgrade the iDRAC with a license key after purchase.
See http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20440743
and http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/idrac-spec-sheet.pdf
IDRAC is possible, just you can open gui of idrac and then launch on the online server. You can add the iso file on virtual server.
I have a windows 7 machine, but for various reasons I need to have access to windows xp also.
I know it's possible for me to have a windows xp virtual machine set up, so that effectively I can have use of both.
Irritatingly, I've got into a situation where I really must have visual studio 2008 installed on Windows 7 and XP (don't ask!). My question is, can I share my existing software licenses across the virtual machine also, or do I have to purchase separate ones?
Because you are running Win7 on a CPU that has hardware virtualisation enabled, you have the option of using the Windows XP Mode, which is a virtualised copy of XP that is already fully licenced, you don't need an extra licence for it.
If you want to setup a separate virtual machine running XP then yes, you will need a separate licence for XP itself.
If you sourced your copy of VS through a MSDN subscription then that is per user, so you can install it multiple times. If you bought a single copy of VS then the licence will be per machine (which includes virtual machines).
The simple answer is Yes - If you have a new Virtual Machine with an OS installed all software running inside this container (including the OS) is classed as a separate machine (such as a second PC next to it)
Double check your VS2008 Licence as you may be able to install on more than 1 PC.
Obviously this is my advise from previous experience - if your really concerned check with a Solicitor before proceeding
Many Microsoft licenses are per user, not per machine. If this is the case (check your license) then you can install it on both your Windows 7 installation and Windows XP installation.
I have basically succumbed to the fact that if you are a hardcore computer user, you will have to reimage your computer every few months because something bad happened. Because of this, I bought imaging software and then really got into imaging. I am now ready to move my development environment completely into a virtual machine so that I can test sites on IIS as though I am on a dev network (and backup these images easily).
The question is, what is the best virtual development platform for a 4 gb laptop? A virtual Vista Business with 3 gb of ram, windows XP sp3 with 3 gb of ram, or Windows Server 2003 with 3 gb of usable ram.
Tools I will need to install:
*sql server 2005 dev edition
*vs 2008 sp1
*tools for silverlight
*and multiple other smaller testing tools
I have tried the following combinations:
Windows XP SP3 on Virtual Server
2005 R2
Windows Vista Business
x64 on Virtual Server 2005 R2
Windows XP on Virtual PC 2007
Windows 2003 on Virtual Server 2005
R2
Windows XP on VMWare Fusion
and the Virtual Server installations where either local or hosted on a server and they all ran fine and about the same speed.
The VMWare Fusion Virtual Machine running under OS X is (seat of the pants) significantly faster than the others. I haven't tested VMWare on Windows to see if it is VMWare or the Hardware making the difference, but it's something worth looking into.
Server 2008, converted to a workstation.
Nothing compares IMO, I've loaded 3 Different OS's in the last 3 months, and I'm set on Server 2008.
I think the biggest question (from my standpoint) is whether or not you'll be doing development (like SharePoint) that requires a server platform. If you anticipate a lot of SharePoint development (or perhaps Exchange, or BizTalk, or another product that requires development be done on a server platform), then go with Windows Server 2003. If not, then I'd probably choose XP, though Vista isn't a bad development platform.
I personally prefer developing on a server platform - however, that opinion might shift if I was developing any sort of WinForms applications, since it would more correctly represent the OS family for the target audience.
I did notice a slight performance decrease going from Server 2003 to Server 2008 that I was not expecting, but that might be more from doing an in-place upgrade instead of starting clean.
From the options you gave, I would personally go with W2k3. You can really trim a server OS down to run lightning-fast, especially when you don't have or get rid of the MS "eye candy".
