    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Ok so after heavily weighing my options, and about a 2 hour discussion with boss man, we are going to look into going with a hosted solution, but only for one year, then we're going to migrate everything down to our own servers. We are currently about to begin moving the entire company to a new...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Unfortunately it's the only route. We have recently enacted a strict "no-cloud" policy. Currently the only thing we have hosted off site is our email, and that will be changing as soon as we can ensure we have the ability to keep our own email server up 24/7.

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    You bring up some very valid points. This is still an avenue I would like to pursue at some point, but I am thinking that just letting people remote into their own individual workstations if they need to be away from their desk will be the way to go for now. BUT, now for the fun part, the...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on bandwidth for each connection? More specifically a way for me to calculate the bandwidth myself? Here are my guesses. If I went with shared storage, and 6 VMs Storage to hyper v : 10Gb (at full load this should provide each VM with SATA 1 speeds) Hyper...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Ok, back after a great fathers day weekend. Thanks to Amazons zippy shipping my book should be here today. Looks like I really need to learn more about how Domain Controllers work. I have mostly been focusing on the Hyper-V side of things. The first thing that popped into my mind after reading...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    I just ordered that book, wasn't too pricey, and it cant hurt to have. So now I get why you mentioned running the DC on the hyper-V servers, makes sense now to have 2 of them. But how do the two DC not interfere with each other, while staying in sync as well? Also how do I setup the two...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Sounds like good advice to me, this is seeming less and less difficult. :D As for the Domain Controller -which I know very very little about- I was just going to have that be on it's own hardware on our network. would that not work? The one thing I would have to make sure to setup though is...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    I think I've gotten some pretty solid advice so far. @Nate7311, I have considered what you said before exploring this path. With the way people are around here, our computer situation in infuriating as it is. At least with this option it's all in one place, I can manage everything. from one...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    there is no "budget" to speak of, It's hard to budget for something when I don't know what all is involved. But we are still fairly small, so I'm trying to keep it as low as possible. But 90% of the workload that will be on this server is word processing, spreadsheets, and email. Clustering the...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Lol, no worries. Also, Apparently In Windows Server 2016 they are - from my understanding - going to be adding in Hardware Accelerated OpenGL too.

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    From my understanding using RemoteFX you can deliver hardware accelerated graphics upto DirectX 11 from a Hyper-V VM. No OpenGL support aside from Software OpenGL 1.1, but I can make everything we run use DirectX so I'm not worried about the lack of OpenGL...

    Hyper-V and Active directory setup in a small buiness.

    Hello there, I manage a small family owned manufacturing company. I am looking to centralize our computer systems, and begin properly managing our setup before It ends up getting too out of hand. We currently have 6 workstations, 2 of which are CAD stations. My hope is to use Hyper-V to...
