Newbies Fer Posted January 31, 2002 Newbies Share Posted January 31, 2002 Hi: I read on another topic that FileMaker Server 5.x was running fine on Win 2000 Pro, So I guess it runs fine on Win 2000 Server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 FileMAker Server, especially Server 5.5, should not be run on W2K PE. It should run on W2K Server Edition. Old Advance Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 OAM I just set up FM 5.5 on Win2000 Professional, mostly because in my organisation Professional is free but server is not. Is it going to compromise data integrity, or just a bit of performance (I can live with non-optimal performance in this case). It's hosting <70 files to around 10 concurrent users max. Thanks.

Anatoli Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 IMHO it will be OK. And to "Is it going to compromise data integrity" I will say no. Running on server has minor advantages, but just try that, and when all is up to your needs, you can leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 W2K PE is not designed to be a server OS. It is not optimized for services. FM Server 5.5 is a service. Especially with 70 files you should be running W2K Server. Performance and interaction between the OS and the service. I haven't heard os any corruption reports, provided file sharing is off.

Anatoli Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I disagree. W2000 Professional are running services fast and many of them. All of the Windows core elements are services. Definitely FM server will run faster, than on Mac OS in background. IMHO Server is a bit more optimized. Best advice as always is -- try that.

DykstrL Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 You do not need Windows Client licenses for FileMaker Server. You do need FIleMaker Pro installed on all machines that will access the FileMaker Server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
