i'm trying to install vmware view connection server but is ask me that the computer does not belong to a domain.
what do i do now? this is a home server and i do have a static ip address with my isp. the aim would be to connect from outside my home network remotely.
do i need to add a dns server in windows server 2008?

Have you tried LogMeIn? The free edition works beautifully for this sort of thing, without the headaches of firewalls, DNS, and IP addresses.

Yes, you need a AD domain to install vmware view connection server.
Please refer to pre-req of view:vmware view install guide
Preparing Active Directory
View uses your existing Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure for user authentication and management. You must perform certain tasks to prepare Active Directory for use with View.

MYSQL Database connection to other website

How to connect MYSQL Database of epizy.com (which is free database provider), to www.mydomain.co.in (which is purchased domain)
Can we connect it!
Have a look what the error is showing here
You need to have hosting first
If your website hosted and working with database on the free host you have mentioned, then you can connect your domain by changing the DNS A records, you will have an IP address which you can browse your website through, copy this IP address and then add it to the domain setting under A/AAAA Records in the DNS manager, after that you may need to wait up to 72 hours to see your website live on the new domain
There are certain free database hosting provider which provides remote access to their database.
Remote access here signifies all the requests made to the database are
originated from their own hosting server (eg, using their hosting
service for php, jsp etc) or any other hosting service provider.
But if remote access is not allowed means all request trying to connect database will be discarded if it's been made from other than their own servers.
So, irrespective of you correct ID and password to the database, you cannot connect to it remotely if blocked by the provider.
000webhost.com, comli.com are such providers for PHP based site
hosting, and, eatj.com is best for testing a Java hosted sites (but
for 11 days trial is only free) all above provider provides free
database hosting.
Turn on error reporting to know exactly what is going wrong.
Or change local host to the websites SQL server
You must have IP for free database provider then you can set this IP as your database HOST.
Also the remote access must be allowed by the server if it is not allowed you can not access your database from different server. Please ask your server support to enable it.

Chef Workstation: Remote Access

I am currently working to setup Chef for configuration management. I have setup a Chef Workstation and have a Hosted Chef Server.
Is it possible to remotely access the workstation, eliminating the need to create multiple workstations throughout the office for those who need access to the workstation (or sharing a single physical machine configured as a workstation across the office)?
Ideally, I would like to have a single chef workstation running and configured which users can remotely access. Does anybody have any experience with this? I am not able to find any resources online as far as remote workstation access goes.
Thank you all in advance for any input!
Generally the workstation should be each person's actual workstation, i.e. the laptop or desktop they actually work on. If you want to make a shared workstation set up on a server that's up to you but I highly recommend not doing that. Remote access would be up to SSH or VNC or RDP or whatever else you prefer.
I would suggest you consider setting up a Jenkins server to act as your chef server's workstation. The advantage is that your chef configuration is shared amongst colleagues in a Git repo (as it should be), but only a single machine has the credentials to access your production chef server.
Check out the following cookbook for an example in how to setup such a server:

It is possible, but here are some limitations:

Steps:

Next to the cPanel account you want to use, click Launch.
In the Databases section, click Remote MySQL.
In the Host field, enter the IP address (Your Client PC IP).
Click Add Host.

NETWORK SERVICE permission for database

I am just wondering is it good idea to give NETWORK SERVICE permission for MSSQL database, can it open any security holes? Then I don't need to set any login parameters in my web app(ASP.NET MVC) config file, I go with integrated permission.
Looking at MSDN, Windows Network Service Account has minimum privileges in windows and it acts as the computer on the network.
But I personally believe that, if you are using it for personal development then it is ok to use network service to access database (if they are on same machine). You might need to configure application pool of your web app to use that service as well in order to have your web app authenticated by SQL Server.
But if it is for enterprise, then I would suggest you to create a separate domain account and use that domain account for both SQL Server and Web App. In that way you will have more better control over that account and it's permissions and less chances to find out that you have given more than required permissions to some default windows account.

How do I connect VS2010 to a MySQL database (locallay on another computer)?

I have a MySQL database on another windows computer (a server) that is setup locally using remote desktop connection for testing.
How can I connect to that local database to Visual Studio 2010 on "my computer"?
Server Computer(MySQL database setup local) --> My Computer(Visual Studio for test code..)
I am new to MySQL and any suggestions will help.
Thanks
PS: I have found this, but the "Server Name" for the database is 127.0.0.1 which I can't use because it is local on whatever computer you are on.

You'll have to use the address of the computer that it is hosted on. It should be the same as the address you use to connect to the remote desktop session.
You might need to configure the firewall to accept the connection. You also might need to setup MySQL to allow remote connections with the user that you authenticate with.
I would recommend downloading MySQL workbench and install it on your local computer. Once you get the connection working with that, you should be able to use the connection with VS2010.
If you're not sure how to do the things listed above, you'll need to start out with a basic tutorial on setting up MySQL for remote connectivity.
