BIM server setup - Help please

[Anonymous]

howdy

i have read through the forums and i am still not sure if the way that i propose to setup the BIM server is ok

we are currently running archiCAD v19, 11 and 12 but will be upgrading to v16 / v17 this week

so.. any help / insight would be greatly appreciated

our server room is setup as follows:
- mail server: 1 x mac pro running an email server (kerio)
- ftp server: 1 x macMini running ftpServer software & the archiCAD net key
- file server: 1 x mac pro running 10.6.8 server with file serving and dns as the only two services running.. this machine also has a couple of external RAID enclosures with all of our projects folders / backups etc

i was hoping to run the BIM server software on our file server... and have it use our existing folder / file structure.. is this possible.. or do i need to run it on a separate machine.. and have a file / folder structure setup just for it

if i can use it.. are there any memory, speed, stability, security, hardware / software issues etc etc that i need to be thinking about / dealing with

thanks again for any help / insight you can provide

warning!
your client is not compatible with the selected server

client version: 16.0.3006

however... there doesn't seem to be anyway to upgrade the client

You need to run the latest AC patch again so it can update the client.
