Re: Substitute for Streams Environment

Sounds like the way to go to me. I'm sure someday that App will be replaced
with something better and you won't have to worry about it anymore.

Hi -

Yes, we do have VMWare in our data center as an alternative, which is what
we are guessing we are going to have to use. We would like to get rid of
NT4
altogether since it's not supported and because our Security people
consider
it a risk. I think that if it's used as a server dedicated to this app
and
if it's behind a well configured firewall, it would be fine.

By the way, I have been testing it on an NT4 VM in VS R2. :-)

Thanks.

You could load Virtual Server on the 2003 box (it's free from MS). Then
run
a copy of NT4 inside Virtual Server as a virtual machine, then run IFPS
on
the copy of NT4.

It will behave as if you have two OS's running on the same hardware at
the
same time, but it will not bother anything on the 2003 OS and you can do
whatever else you want to do on the 2003 at the same time.

Hi -

I am stuck with a very old application, IFPS by Conshare, running on NT
4
Server. I need to move this app to Windows 2003 (or 2000) to be able
to
retire the NT 4 Server. I couldn't get the service for the app to
start,
and
as it turns out it needs the Streams Environment protocol to run under
NT4.

Is there an equivalent to Steams available to newer Windows operating
systems? I can't get help from Comshare, since they no longer exist.

Thanks.
