OwnCloud On Windows
-
Can't think of any reason why Windows would be an issue. Maybe there is some library missing?

They say PHP on windows is limited, but I'm guessing it's a pluging issue rather than basic features.
-
@Jason Try it?

Hmmm... not aware of PHP being more limited on Windows. A little slower, but only a tiny bit.
What's driving you to want ownCloud on Windows? If I'm given my druthers, Suse is where I want it.

Would love to but we have to limit our Linux use anymore. Seems Ernst & Young doesn't know how to audit windows hardly and linux is a big issue to them.

And having incompetent auditors would be good to pay for... why?

That's not our choice. That's up to our finance department and the FTC to work on the agreement of who audits us, as the FTC requires us to be audited as a publicly traded company. E&Y is one of the more popular ones I believe.

The entire public sector uses Linux, though. How could E&Y be popular and have that issue? Something is wrong. Who would use them if that was actually a limitation?

Just because it is used in the background has nothing to do with the auditors. There is not any significant portion of the US publicly traded companies that run Linux to the desktop.

This isn't about Linux on the desktop, it's about using it as the base for storage servers. The issue here is with auditors and servers.

Unless I missed something major. The reason for deploying ownCloud to Windows was because of auditors not able to audit Linux servers. Why auditors are looking at servers or desktops, I'm unsure. What are they auditing, I wonder.

The auditors are workers. The workers have no care or knowledge that the public sector uses Linux.
They follow scripts and rituals. -

They follow scripts and rituals.But everyone that they audit uses Linux. So how do they do their auditing? Or why do companies keep choosing them if there is an across the board auditing problem that they can't handle?
The whole point here is that the auditors do care, a lot. So much so that the company is making purchasing and licensing decisions for the IT department based on the auditors.

If the auditors are involved in looking at OSes, they must care about them. It sounds like this are IT consultants if they are auditing IT. If they are not IT auditors, why are the getting involved in under the hood IT decision making? What kind of auditing are they doing?
