Hi Indy--
I'm going to experiment with WinServerEssentials2016
I'm going to put AC 9.2+ on it
I'm going to put it on a new server so I can run back to 6.3.3 if it doesn't work out, if it does, then the old server will just function as a backup. I haven't had any hardware issues with SuperMicro and SamsungSSD, but I always worry -- and we are getting more and more dependent on the electronics -- so I need the security of near instantaneous backup. Our internet isn't really reliable enough to fully trust the cloud.
I really fear that MACRA and other similar programs (if they survive in the new administration) will require upgrade to 9.XXX
So if I run AC on the hardware server, can I run Medware and Quickbooks and maybe an instance of Chrome for general internet browsing to keep viruses contained in separate virtual machines on the Essentials version.
Do you use Hyper-V?
How do you set it up? Is it like VirtualBox -- just download the software?
Do office clients log in separately to all the virtual machines?
Several offices here in Astoria use AC -- and most of the them use MossyTech for IT support. If you really want to come to Astoria (it's pretty much out of the way) -- I would buy you lunch, could even put you up for the night if you wanted. I'd really like to meet you some time.
