I have read the specs on UPS Worldship and see that it says it only supports "Workstation OS's", but I have seen several posts over the years that people have got this to work running from a VM running some particular version of Windows server last one I saw was from How does it handle the UPS label printer?
Do you still just set it up as a shared printer from a workstation? You would still need it installed locally to use a scale and printer. It only makes sense to have the database portion in a centralized location if you have more than one shipping department. I contacted UPS support earlier this year and wanted to do the same thing. However, I was told I would be on my own if any issues did occur.
I still had to place the database file on the local computer, but was able to make it save the backup to a network share. Flaky as hell, poorly designed. Having this installed on a workstation leaves it so vulnerable to user issues, like turning off the computer, or other issues like a workstation dying or blowing out a hard drive. I know UPS also has a SaaS called iShip, which is a web hosted shipping solution, but I am pretty sure it is a paid service and is based on daily volume of shipping.
Maybe they dont have that many customers with 3 -5 workstations in a cluster for shipping. I wonder if I could simply make a Win10 VM and do it all from there I am still confused as to how installing it on a VM would solve your problem? Do you not weigh packages and print labels? I could care less about the computer that is running Worldship just like any other workstations in the office. Pop in a new workstation, install WS and import the database If the host gets turned off like it does a couple times a week, they have to send somebody into that office and turn it back on and wait for it to boot up and stabilize on the network it is currently Win 7 so it takes a couple minutes before the rest of the UPS client workstations can do anything in UPS.
We are just one power surge from losing a database or at least a day or 2 of shipping while we build another host workstation. Would it be feasible to stop them from shutting down the PC via GPO and then hook it up to battery backup? Veeam has a free agent for workstations. Why not? We have people in other states that remote manage computers at our building.
Veeam will back it up with the extra client for non-VM's, but then there is another piece to manage. I could block shutdown with GPO, but then they cant shutdown when something else goes wrong, like FedEx or UPS software locking up or a Windows update gone wrong, so I would need to VNC to it to do that for them since there is nobody with Admin rights at our plants. I already have the extra VM licenses, so it is not costing me anything but some CPU and Ram on my VM host, which is pretty underutilized in this location, but necessary for failover and DR.
I do appreciate all the suggestions, and I know things can be manipulated and worked around as one-off's, but I was looking for a better solution to see if there would be less complications than I currently have, especially since I really need to replace these old Win7 boxes with old spinning hard drives anyway.
With it being a cluster setup, If I change anything on the host PC, I need to change the 4 client units to match, so I was hoping for a one time solution to make it more secure and managable all in the one step. Then I would have a VM host and the then 5 clients could be more generic and easliy replacable.
I would still have the client workstations to drive the label printer since UPS allows and expects it to be a shared networked printer, so as far as I could tell, it would just need the drivers installed, which UPS has in their software when it is loaded. Windows Server code is virtually identical to Windows 10 code so I would think the software would not squalk too bad either if the installer will actually allow it to run. I have our Worldship installed on. Windows 7 machine.
I then set it according to UPS directions. It runs without any issues.
