Win Server 2019/2016 General questions and discussions

Hi

 

I cannot comment on the driver since I use another DDC in front of the MC3+USB, but generally speaking I would use the latest one available.

 

60-80G would probably be enough for 3-4 times what you are planning for

 

Best,

This question is about GUI and Core mode, not the AudiophileShell

 

As far as I know only GUI mode can display those kind of messages. You can't see them in Core.

 

(since you use the AudiophileShell I assume you are in Core....)

 

Best,

Hi

 

Yes, slmgr.vbs -dlv or slmgr.vbs -dli is the easiet and fastet way to get that information.

The server eval versions run for 180 days. This period can be "re-armed" five times in a row. So chances are high one will format and reinstall before the end of 5x180 days either way :)

 

Essentials Edition is around 50% of the standard price, so also an option.

Ok. Let me think about this... 🙂

@AudioPhil -- i know this isn't an AO problem, but would certainly appreciate your thoughts.

This is a very weird issue. Currently I have no idea to be honest, but i will think about it and possibly get back to you should I have an idea later on.

Having been  a windows 10 user, I'm able to install windows server 2019 GUI, also jRiver, ...eventually get music playing. The result was definitely better than that on a w10. 

Naturally I am contemplating on  doing the same on ws2019 core mode. But without a desktop I'm totally lost. So my question is :

1) is it possible to do the same on the core mode - get music playing via jRiver? How can one navigate? 

2) with the help of AO 3.0, I reckon 1) would be possible 🤔 Would the installation doable for an illiterate like myself? 

 

I understand that ws2019 GUI +AO 3.0 would be about 95% of the core + 3.0. If the computer is used only for playing music, seems make sense to push for the best. 

 

Any helps appreciated. 

 

To test my guides I gave them to my wife and placed her in front of my computer. All i gave her was the bootable usb stick with windows server. 1 hour later she was tapping with her toes and listening to music in core with JRiver. So in other words, yes of course you can do it. Everything is very well documented in our guides and also many additional more detailed how-to's are available here in the forum. You just need to take your time and read very carefully through the guides.
