Yeah. They have a replacement they're trying to sell us. It's called Workforce Central. That being said, it's expensive and we'd likely have to pay some fees to get the payroll set up to work with the new product. I'm hoping we can upgrade our iSeries and there are some products that run directly on iSeries that will integrate with our clocks just fine (TKC can't talk directly to the clocks and does not support the clocks, per se, so any time there's a problem, it's a finger-pointing exercise between Handlink and Kronos.)
The problem is getting management buy-in. :-( -----Original Message----- From: Jacob [mailto:ja...@excaliburfilms.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 10:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Small server " TKC has not been updated in a LONG time and probably won't be updated ever again..." I think it may also be time to look for a replacement. -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 7:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Small server Sorry. I guess I should have specified this is for Kronos Time Keeper Central. Server hardware requirements are very basic. It has to be capable of running Windows 2000. It's not a very resource-intensive software. It's got a small DB and has to be capable of allowing multiple people to access it over the network (via "client" software loaded on their machine) The machine that's currently running the time and attendance software is a P4 2.8Ghz with 2 Gig of RAM running Windows 2000. My main problem is that it's running off a single HDD, and a SCSI drive at that. Cut/paste from the system requirements document: 750 Mhz+ 1 Gigabyte NT4 , 2000 Server 2003 Server 1 Gigabyte Free disk space. As you can see it's very basic requirements. TKC has not been updated in a LONG time and probably won't be updated ever again. I spoke with a support engineer, and he said that he's seen it running on Windows XP, but that's not supported, as XP is not a "server" O/S, which is required for multiple clients accessing the machine at one time. Thanks... Hope this answers your questions WRT system requirements. From: Steven M.

Therefore the answer is: maybe. -sc From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 9:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Small server I am looking at getting a small server running Windows Server 2003, so I can have my time and attendance running on a supported O/S. Looking at Dells Premier site, the least expensive option only offers a Software RAID5, unless Im mis-reading the options. Would you guys rather have a Hardware RAID0 / RAID1 or a software RAID5? Any other options I should be looking at for a small server? Were primarily a Dell shop here, but I can look at others, including white box servers, so long as I can get some sort of warranty / hardware support on it. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
