Speaking of Linux Server.. correct me if i am wrong can i use Linux as my server then my client computers are Windows?

Yes. But it depends what you are serving. "Server" and "client" only mean "provides a service" and "consumes a service" so the terms are pretty loose. But to prove what you ask is true, you are currently reading this website on Windows (the client.) The site itself is running on Linux (the server.) So this interaction that we are having right now is both of us using Windows as the client and Linux as the service.

Likewise you can use Office 365 on a Linux machine. So Windows is the server and Linux is the client in that case.

I hate content...is that weird?

Not at all. Churning content is more of the creative/artistic mindset, whereas getting a site running's more of a practical one. Any time I've done web work, I've had others feed me the content. "You want your website to look like your latest product catalog? Ok, send me a copy of it and the content you want to show up." It's easier to have a goal/image to work to rather than create "stuff".

It's the only install option that I normally use. I only install the GUI if there is a specific site technical deficiency making it necessary.

It's the default option and the option that is suggested with all new 2012 R2 installs thanks to the Server Manager and PowerShell. The really nice thing is that you can deploy Server Core, and if you so choose at a later date install the full GUI and even revert it back to Core. It's not a irrevocable decision now with 2012.

That has saved me a few times so far.

Up until about a month or so ago I was still afraid of doing this because I thought it was still irrevocable like it was in 2008 R2. After seeing how to switch back and forth with a few PowerShell cmdlets and parameters, I'm going to install and maintain more core systems because I always have RSAT and Server Manager now.

So far, all the changes for IE that I've had to make have been doable via GPO. I recall using IEAK years ago, but stopped using it once I could start using GPOs.

@scottalanmiller greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, that's what i'm looking for, a bunch of experts willing to help and share their knowledge with other people,
really people will appreciate your work, thanks

Symantec is going the way of all they acquire.......down the tubes.

Awesome, thanks.

@Nic Thanks! Will let you know.

If the sales guy is doing a good job, you don't care where he is or what he is doing. If he doesn't make sales you don't care if he works hard 100 hours a week. Tracking a sales guy can only hurt from a business perspective.

@scottalanmiller I'm mainly wanting to use it to centralize documentation. Both things I create and for existing documents.

We use it for docs for sure. Both traditional docs and wiki docs. Plus we use it as a database and light workflows.

@computerchip I worked with a guy (contractor) who used it quite a bit, but he told me that he still got more business through word of mouth than the site itself. He made enough to cover the expense and still make a little extra but the frequency wasn't there.

I read that....but i want a client. we want more we want more.

I thought I read somewhere there was a client that worked with Hylafax, but I'd rather punch a wall and break my hand than try messing with it.

baha good luck with that! yes, i have tried a couple oft these clients to no avail.

They use different install locations. Each maintains its own space and database. They don't interact at all.

Glad that you got it all sorted.

And then we need to configure the drives via the SmartArray BIOS.

Was there a fix found for this issue?
