I have a situation where an existing PvxPlus installation is running on Server 2019 and Windx clients to connect to the server.
Customer is presently running in a local domain with all machines as members of the domain. This will be changed to a peer to peer network. The server machine will be replaced with a Windows 11 machine.
Is it possible to move PVXPlus to a Windows 11 machine and still use Windx to access the programs?
Thanks!
Tom
Running a WindX host/server does not require a Windows Server OS and can be run from Win 11 no problem.
The client (WindX) is the client. The server (Linux, Unix, Windows, etc.) is the server. One side of the client-server pair can talk with the other side, regardless of the mix.
Caveat: If you have system calls to one type of server (e.g., Linux), they may need to be modified or changed to retrieve the desired information from another server (e.g., Windows).
Tom,
It has been my experience in the past that if there is a substantial work load and many clients attaching to the "server" you will see a reduction of performance as a "workstation" (PC with Windows 11) just doesn't have the configuration (buffers, CPUs) to share the processes. I don't know how many clients you will be throwing at the server, but my suggestion is spend the extra money and get a real server with either xeons or rizen processors and use a server OS such as Windows Server 2025 as 2023 has already reached it's end of support.
