George,

I think UniVerse must be fully supported on Windows 7. I just bought a workgroup version for a windows 7 professional laptop. I had to tell Rocket what I was putting it on and their website indicates that it is a supported OS. I'm like you, I would prefer linux; I'm like your users I want it cheap.

My original response was to keep it isolated on a new W Server machine,

Not my say.

But your point is well taken

Subject: Re: [U2] moving UV from one server to another (windows)

No one has pointed out the elephant in the room yet, so I will.  Windows 7
is not intended for this use; while this configuration may "work" for some
values of "work", stability issues can and should be expected.  In
particular, I would expect the network stack to be, unh, "flaky" might be
the best word.

More importantly, Windows 7 is not LICENSED for this use.  I am not
affiliated with Rocket, nor can I speak for them, but I would be very
surprised if Rocket supports this configuration.

This is NOT a good idea; it has "false economy" written all over it.   I
would discourage your client, friend or whatever from going down this path.

Had someone ask me this question.  They are downsizing their PC's

They have UV currently installed on a Windows Server PC - and each of the
PC's using wintergate to access it.
This server is having some issues, so they want to move UV off of it, and
have it run on one of their "client" PC
Running windows 7.

My thought was that you would install UV on that PC, Then (with the
services off), copy the file structure from
The Server to the PC. Assuming the all the folders are named the same on
both systems for the install. And of
Course remove UV from the Server once all it good.

Should this be all that would be needed?

Will UV function on a Windows 7 PC?
Can it be used as working PC - as well as be a UV server?

Everything I've heard says it should run by itself - but - can it run on a
PC as background service?
