Automatic update Office Online Server - office-online-server

I have installed and configured Office Online Server Version 16.0.10338.20039 in a two server farm with load balancing. Now i would like to configure the servers to be automatically updated through Windows Update but this procedure appears to be no recommended from Microsoft as shown here
The cumulative update is the August 2022 CU for Office Online Server (KB5002228)
my question is has anyone tried installing a similar CU-Update automatically? and if so did it work or do i have to follow the instructions in the link above and do this manually?
I'm asking because i only have a production environment and therefor i can't afford any mistakes.
thank you

Unable to browse Integration Services on SQL 2016

I've installed SQL Server 2016 (Standard Edition) on a Windows Server 2016, selecting Integration Services to be installed too. I've also installed SSMS and SSDT from the same installation media.
I am running SSMS as administrator and can connect to the local Database engine.
My user is a Windows and SQL Server admin.
However I cannot connect (explicitly using the server name) or even browse to the local Integration Services?
Receiving the following error.
SSIS not browsable and can't connect
Having already searched for an answer to this problem, many suggest checking that the service is running etc. which can be seen in the Services and SQL Configuration Manager.
Services shown as running
I've also tried turning off the Windows Firewall to establish if that is the cause of the problem but it had no effect.
Anyone got any ideas what might be preventing it from being accessible?
I've had this problem last month. In my case I had to install the 32-bit version of access database engine (on my 64 bit windows).
Sql data tools works with 32-bit

The later SSMS versions (16.x and 17.x) will only connect to their respective versions SQL 2016 and SQL 2017. Microsoft is planning to retire the older method in favor of the SSISDB, which is more secure.
Link to the official statement from Microsoft (in the note box).
I have had the same problem and the solution was to install the old interface on top of the existing one (SQL Server Management Studio 2016). Here's link to the installation file. After having installed this, I can now connect to the integration services. You will have to set it up of course and give yourself Rights

Looking for a free DNN community edition website Backup and restore procedure working with DNN 7 and SQL server express 2008 r2

I am looking for a free DNN community edition website Backup and restore procedure working with DNN 7 and SQL server express 2008 r2.
I usually design and develop website in local PC as my connection speed to the actual server is low. And then I want to publish (deploy) the result in the server. I may need to repeat this procedure a few times as our website is always under development and I need to add new pages or update the existing ones.
I use DNN 7 community edition. I have already googled and have found plenty of commercial tools for this backup and restore. But the free methods seems to be 1.
old or
not working properly or
not a straight forward procedure or
very buggy.
I have gone e.g. through the 4 links given in
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-blog/cid/134680/HOW-TO-Move-a-DotNetNuke-installation
without any success.
Could you please help me 1.
how I could develop my website in local PC and then upload the
result in the server?
And later after adding a few new pages in the local PC how I could sync the result with the server?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and consideration.

"when using SQL express, if I simply copy the entire local folder to production (including the APP_DATA folder, which contains the database)." ... How I could just save the newly registered users data in the website's database before copying entire local folder to production and restore this data after copying. In other way, I want to update the page contents and added designs but I don't want to loose newly registered users data between two consecutive website updates. I hope could find a working procedure for this because working online with server is very slow due to my connection speed and I have to keep a replica of the website in the local PC and add new pages or programs in the local PC and then update the result to the server when required. The specs of two systems are as follows:
local PC: Windows 8 Pro (with admin access)
Server (VPS): Windows web server 2008 (with admin access)
1) The easiest way to do this, when using SQL express, is to simply copy the entire local folder to production (including the APP_DATA folder, which contains the database)
2) Repeat step 1, but you'll lose any changes you made in production since the last time you pushed things up.
DNN doesn't really support this type of synchronization as a platform. They tried to offer it in their Enterprise product, but it worked so poorly they scrapped the feature.

Sharepoint 2010 Development Environment Set-up

I need advise on what can be best way to setup/configure SHAREPOINT 2010 Environment for 6-members teams (with 3-working at onsite and 2-working at offshore)
Currently I only had two team members but team is now increasing. What we have is DEVELOPMENT SERVER - with Visual Studio and SharePoint Server installed. Developers remote VNC to the box and do their development.
But with number of developers are increasing what should be ideal, so that team can communicate from offshore/onshore
Is this Ideal (installed on each developer laptop)
Visual Studio 2010
and
SharePoint Server (Installed on Windows Server 2008) and developers will use this rather than installing SharePoint locally (enterprise edition is very expensive)
We start to developing with SharePoint 2010 in the team one and half years ago. We try different environment structures for developing, but had many conflicts. Today everyone work in his own environment (HV) with SP enterprise edition, just sharing the code via Team System. The problem is in this set-up the content, everybody has his special content, but if it is critical for you, make backup in every environment.
So we have one SQL server, and for every developer a server with SP and VS.
By the way I think you don't need to purchase SharePoint Server for development environment. If I'm right it is free. You need purchase OS, Sql, VS, but not the SP. Please check with your Microsoft seller.

Can SQL 2008 R2 and a SQL express installation coexist on same machine without problems?

I have SQL 2008 R2 on my computer and it works fine with the database. If I install Visual Web Developer 2010 express it says I have to install SQL Express , per it is a dependency. I would prefer to only install web developer.
Will an express installation effect my current installation's operation at all?
Yes they can coexist as they will be installed as separate services - see this forum post
Officially, they can coexist.
Unofficially, my experience with a joint installation is painful. SQL Server patches would fail mysteriously on machines with a joint install. Sometimes you could find fix information in a KB article, sometimes not. Sometimes reinstalling SQL Server worked, sometimes an OS reinstall was required.
You can take the risk on a development server, but I wouldn't do this in production.

Are there any pitfalls trying to run DNN on Windows Server 2008 Web Edition?

I am considering switching to a co-located solution running a DNN (DotNetNuke) installation and an email server that mostly just does alias forwarding. I think I can get DNS services outside of this colocation box - but that could be an issue.
I am running this website for a non-profit group and trying to stay inexpensive. Will Windows Server 2008 Web Edition be acceptable for running all of this? My research so far says it will but I am looking for anyone with any experience running web edition and what sort of pitfalls does it have?
I was going to install SQL express as the backend for the DNN site. Indications are that you can't connect to SQL from outside the Web Edition box. Does this include SQL Management studio?
Any assistance or advice on this would be appreciated.
Update:
Still looking for any specifics with Windows Server 2008 Web Edition
We tried running DNN on Windows 2008 64-bit and 32-bit a while back. Not a great experience with intermittant failures and application hangs. We had to revert back to Windows 2003.
This was on a moderately loaded site. If you want to give them any sort of guaranteed uptime/availability I would recommend Windows 2003.
