apcupsd on Windows

January 10th, 2010 No comments

Hi,

In combination with my previous post (APC UPS Management on XenServer), I also installed apcupsd on my Windows Server.
This is a less important server, so by shutting it down automaticly after 5 minutes, I will save power for the important XenServer.

Installing SBS 2008 on XenServer

June 17th, 2009 2 comments

Hi,

When trying to install Windows Small Business Server 2008 on a XenServer System, i encountered several errors.

The first ones I don’t really remember, but they where fixed by installing the XS-Tools before starting the SBS configuration wizard.

  • Install SBS 2008
  • On first boot (when the Configuration Wizard shows up), press Ctrl+Shift+Esc
  • Choose xs-tools.iso in the DVD Drive dropdown list
  • Go back to the Task Manager, click on “File”, “New Task”.
  • Browse to the cd and run the setup.
  • After this reboot the server (once or twice).
  • Continue with normal installation

Then there was another problem when trying to install on XenServer 5.5. At some point in the installation the server rebooted and then stated that you should retry the setup.
The only fix for this problem that I found was to choose  ”Other install media” as the Template, and not “Windows Server 2008 x64″
