What would be the advantages of upgrading the Windows Server OS and SQL Server to the corresponding 64 bit versions, with the server applications remaining as 32 bit? The 64 bit versions allow access to more than 4 GB of RAM, but since 4 GB is not being fully utilized would that render the upgrade moot?
The sole disadvantage is that the 64-bit version of SQL Server will use 64-bit pointers. This means pointers will occupy twice as much memory, consume twice as much memory bandwidth, and so on. This is likely fairly negligible, but it is a disadvantage. It's partially compensated by the fact that switching to a 64-bit application will allow you to ditch the overhead of the compatibility layer 32-bit apps have to use to access a 64-bit OS's functions.
The major advantage is that numerous significant improvements were made in the CPU instruction set over time. Some of them were made along with the change to 64-bits and some of them were made previously.
But even for the ones made previously, the 32-bit build has to handle CPUs that don't have those features and to avoid the hassle of detection and switching between multiple instances, just doesn't use them even where they're present. For example, 64-bit CPUs must have SSE2, but 32-bit CPUs might not. So most 32-bit code just doesn't bother checking and assumes no SSE2. 64-bit code is assured SSE2 instructions are present and so will use it if it's the best option.
In addition, a 64-bit process can make use of large amounts of virtual memory. This is especially important with processes that access large amounts of structured data on disk. And, of course, they can use 64-bit integer operations which tend to improve the performance of encryption, compression, and even some filesystem operations on large filesystems.
If you are using a library of CLR User-Defined Functions, it will become bit-incompatible. 32-bit DLLs cannot be generally used in 64-bit software and vice versa. If you cannot get 64-bit version of some UDF library you use, you will lose that specific extension.
Basically it is the same issue as upgrading any 32-bit software with its add-ons to its 64-bit version. You also need to switch all add-ons to their 64-bit versions. Generally it is easy, but the problem are discontinued ones where replacements are not available.
Large memory addressing: The 64-bit architecture offers a larger directly-addressable memory space. SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) is not bound by the 4 GB memory limit of 32-bit systems. Therefore, more memory is available for performing complex queries and supporting essential database operations. This greater processing capacity reduces the penalties of I/O latency by utilizing more memory than traditional 32-bit systems.
Enhanced parallelism: The 64-bit architecture provides advanced parallelism and threading. Improvements in parallel processing and bus architectures enable 64-bit platforms to support larger numbers of processors (up to 64) while providing close to linear scalability with each additional processor. With a larger number of processors, SQL Server can support more processes, applications, and users in a single system.
The most dramatic results I saw on going from 32-bit to 64-bit SQL Server (this was SQL Server 2005) was about a 40% speed boost on a client's major application. All we did was install the 64-bit SQL Server, everything else was the same! That was a major performance boost in the real world.
You can have better multitasking performance especially with programs that have heavy multithreading built in. Moreover u can install more ram with 64-bit os. But do this only if the processor supports 64-bit instructions.
I run sophos enterprise console and need to find out how to properly install the 64 bit version or "components" on some of my windows servers that say they have support for sophos 64. On my sophos server its running the sophos agent and has sophos files in both the program files (x86) and program files directories. I assume the 64 bit "components" are in the program files directory. That's great and all but all of my other 2008 R2 hosts only have sophos installed in the x86 directory, compelling me to believe their running the 32bit version. I create a sophos agent installer using the files from my CID, I see a 64 directory in there but not sure if I should be creating a differnt installer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Ok, cool. Thanks for the reply. You know anything about installing on windows server core os? I see its supported but I've scoured the documentation and can't find any info on the install.. when I try it, it fails.
Still the application fails to load the Odbc Driver, if I run the exact same code on an x86 dev machine it works as expected, it also works on my x86 IIS7; I'd like to avoid building another production web server for this one WebApp, so any help is appreciated.
Do you have other dll's that could be accessing the ODBC driver in "Any" instead of 32-bit mode? That would likely be your problem, we had a similar issue and resolved it by switching the assemblies that called the driver to be 32-bit only ... but left the web app as "Any" (64-bit).
I have a server that was originally 64 bit windows 2008 standard, however when it was put into production it was downgraded to 32bit version (done before I started to work for my current company) So with that we now are facing some limitations such as memory cannot be upgraded and it's maxed at 4gb. This is server holds the following services...
The sever is less then 3 yrs old and would like to stay with same windows since we already have the media and the key for it. Yeah the backup and reinstall is the option that I can do. But was wondering if there are other options.
stevenjwilliams83, you don't have to create a new MSI. All you need to do is login to the system in question, remove the mirror driver from the display adapters (make sure to remove the driver when prompted - check box), reboot if you want (we didn't during our tests). Log out of the system, goto the Dameware Control Panel, right-click on the system in question, remove the service. Then right-click again and install the service, then make sure you un-check "Use Mirror Driver" in the connection settings for the server, and click save.
After some searching, I found that if you turn off 'IE Enhanced Security' (open Server Manager, click 'Local Server' on left, and look for it on the right) it will work after you fully close and restart FortiClient (server reboot wasn't needed).
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.4. This release include a number of fixes and small improvements. One of the fixes is to password prompting on windows console when stderr redirection is in use - this breaks 2.5.x on Win11/ARM, and might also break on Win11/amd64. Windows executable and libraries are now built natively on Windows using MSVC, not cross-compiled on Linux as with earlier 2.5 releases. Windows installers include updated OpenSSL and new OpenVPN GUI. The latter includes several improvements, the most important of which is the ability to import profiles from URLs where available. Installer version I602 fixes loading of pkcs11 files on Windows. Installer version I603 fixes a bug in the version number as seen by Windows (was 2.5..4, not 2.5.4). Installer I604 fixes some small Windows issues.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.2. It fixes two related security vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-15078) which under very specific circumstances allow tricking a server using delayed authentication (plugin or management) into returning a PUSH_REPLY before the AUTH_FAILED message, which can possibly be used to gather information about a VPN setup. In combination with "--auth-gen-token" or a user-specific token auth solution it can be possible to get access to a VPN with an otherwise-invalid account. OpenVPN 2.5.2 also includes other bug fixes and improvements. Updated OpenSSL and OpenVPN GUI are included in Windows installers.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.4.11. It fixes two related security vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-15078) which under very specific circumstances allow tricking a server using delayed authentication (plugin or management) into returning a PUSH_REPLY before the AUTH_FAILED message, which can possibly be used to gather information about a VPN setup. This release also includes other bug fixes and improvements. The I602 Windows installers fix a possible security issue with OpenSSL config autoloading on Windows (CVE-2021-3606). Updated OpenSSL and OpenVPN GUI are included in Windows installers.
Important: you will need to use the correct installer for your operating system. The Windows 10 installer works on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019. The Windows 7 installer will work on Windows 7/8/8.1/Server 2012r2. This is because of Microsoft's driver signing requirements are different for kernel-mode devices drivers, which in our case affects OpenVPN's tap driver (tap-windows6).
