The use of Apache and MySQL windows services - mysql

From xampp control panel you can install Apache and MySQL as windows services.
What are the benefits or differences of running Apache and MySQL as windows services from running them without these services?

These processes as Windows Server's services, get started when windows is restarted, and can be monitored and be operated as any other windows service.

Change a Windows Server 2016 Machine From GUI to Core

We have a Windows machine that when remoted into, the only thing that comes up is a command prompt. I'm under the impression that this machine is set to being Windows Core. I'm looking to do this to another one of our machines (Windows Server 2016) but the machine is already setup and running with the desktop GUI. Is it possible to change / retroactively put the machine back to Windows Core?

Resolving "WebSphere application server v7 is currently running" message in IBM Installation Manager on Windows 7

I received the message "WebSphere application server v7 is currently running.

The message also persisted after a reboot.

Zabbix missing Web Monitoring

I installed Zabbix Server 3.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 using a package. When I go to the Configuration tab, there is no Web Monitoring option. How do I activate that option?
Web monitoring is now part of host/template configuration, you can access it for each host/template. From the Zabbix 3.2 manual:
Since Zabbix 2.2 web scenarios are attached to hosts/templates in the
same way as items, triggers, etc.

What do I have to be aware of when installing Reporting Services on a productive SQL Server 2008

I have a running sql server installation on which I would like to install the reporting services module. Now because it is very important that the sql server it self keeps available and running without any interruptions I get a little scary about this step.
Now my question. Are there any pittfalls I have to be aware of before I install the module? E.g. does the server restart during the installation?
Can you try this change in a virtual machine first?
For example, use the Disk2vhd application (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx) to make a snapshot of your current production system. Then, use the VHD that was created in Microsoft Virtual PC, Hyper-V, or Windows 7 native VHD boot.
If you try a virtual machine for testing, disable networking or create a private network before starting the virtual machine! Having two servers with the same name and SID on your network is a Bad Thing.
(If you're not using virtual machines, isn't it time? :)
