installing svnbridge server on a different machine other than the server - svnbridge

I can see that there is a key called "TfsUrl" in the appSettings part of the Web.config file for SVNBridge. Is this possible? Can I install the SVNBridge on a different machine to the TFS server? We are a big company and the admin people don't want to install svnbridge on their server.
Thanks

Yes you can. However, I have found it to be very slow depending on where the SVNBridge server is. In my testing I installed the SVNBridge server locally and pointed it at my production server over a VPN. With this setup it would take up to 3 minutes to just open the repository in TortoiseSVN. With the SVNBrige server installed on the same machine as TFS the load time is almost unnoticeable.

WHM/CPanel update on a Linux, Apache server

I currently have a dedicated server running the following:
Apache/2.2.32
WHM/CPanel 11.44.3 (build 5)
MySQL Server version: 5.5.40-cll
Because of a security with the version of Cpanel I am told by my hosting company that Cpanel requires an update. The issue they have is because the current Cpanel is version 11.44.3 they can not update to the latest version.
Question, has anyone else had this issue and if so what was if any the resolution.
Many thanks in advance for your time
The hosting company are telling me that the only way around this issue is to have a completely new server configured with all the latest Apache, WHM/CPanel.
This of course would require all the scripts for our web site been transferred to the new server.
You have too old version and to avoid possible issues and downtime, it is recommended to setup and new server with CentOS 7 and latest cPanel and then migrate account one by one. This will allow you to check your websites one by one as you migrate. You should be able to generate full account backup and then you can restore it on a new server.
There is possibility to upgrade the version on your existing server but it is possible that it may cause other issues and you may face lots of issues and downtime.

Why do you need a Hyper-V?

Ok, I know what is basically a Hyper-V is.
Simple, a virtual machine. Well, good for testing application and development usage.
Ok, so far so good for the understanding. and here the main question:
Why do you need to install servers in a Hyper-V on a real server?
Isn't that running a server os on the real machine is somehow better performance than running it in a virtual environment?
for example, database server. Install it in a virtual machine? why not on the real machine?
One example of its use would be to create the perfect developer environment if you want to run many different versions of SQL Server on the same physical box.
SQL Server 2005 isn't compatible with Windows 10 so a virtual server running Windows 2003 is better to house it. Windows 2008 for SQL Server 2008 and so on.
This also gives you the flexibility to allocate resources to different VMs and prioritise RAM to the instance that your currently developing against. Giving you server level options with client tools running on the host OS as intended.
Check out this blog post on setting up such a dev environment.

I installed Active Directory on Windows 2012 R2, But now I can't log in VIA RDP

After installing the Directory Services Role and configuring and promoting the server to a domain controller the wizard automatically reboots my server.
After the reboot, I can no longer log in to the server as before (via RDP). What happened? This is a virtual server, so destroying it and starting over is an option, but after trying that 3 times how do I avoid this problem in the first place?
And another question is - can I install Active Directory without rebooting automatically?
can you ping ? what is the ping out put looks firewall is blocking or allow connections only from computers running remote desktop with NLA is enabled.
Why don't you install team viewer and setup unattended access and see what happening.

sql server agent start disabled (grayed out)

I've just built a new dev machine and I can't get SQL Server Agent working. What I've done so far:
Install VS 2010 (I think this installed an express version of SQL Server)
Install SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong in step 2. All I want is a fully working version of SQL Server with SQL Server Agent running and no limitation on the amount of data I can store (I will need more than 10GB).
Currently, in SSMS I have the following instance: ./SQLEXPRESS. I thought that during step 2, this would have been upgraded, but it doesn't seem so.
Can anyone help?
Note: I ended up resolving this by uninstalling everything that had "SQL Server" in it in Control Panel > Programs and Features. I then reinstalled from scratch.

The agent account is disabled. If you aren't able to enable it through configuration manager, try enabling it through services. After its enabled, try starting the serivce. If you still have issues starting the agent, try changing the account the service is running under. There may also be an issue with the account that the SQL Server service is running under. Trying changing the SQL Server service account and restarting it. The agent should then start up successfully.
You have two installations, with two named instances. The Express named SQLEXPRESS and the developer edition named MSSQLSERVER (unless you changed this during install). connect to .\MSSQLSERVER and see, it should be there available to be started.
SQL Server Express does not ship with the SQL Server Agent.

Disk2vhd Hyper-V server question

Hello all I have a backed up about 30 servers using disk2vhd and now I have built my first of many hyper-v severs I did not realize this is all command line I did download CoreConfigurator and that does have some functionality I have been looking for. My question is how do I get the VHD files to run a Vitual Machines? its all command line I tried via vbs to mount the VHD's and I have not been able to any help on this would be great!
Thanks!
If you are using servercore, You maybe can do everything from the command line but I always prefer to have one computer running a Non server core version of windows 2008 to be the management server. You will load up Hyper-V manager on the non server core box and manage your Hyper-V server.
To have no "management" servers or desktops on your network will be a big pain IMO for management.
Using Hyper-V Manager you can quickly load the VHD's as VM's.
So load up Hyper-V Manager on a desktop PC on your localnet, and use its connect option to connect to your servercore. (Make sure your firewall settings are ok on servercore using coreconfig)
