How to mine on WIndows 2008 Server?

[forzendiablo]

I used to mine on thsi remote desktops in 2011 i rmember i had to do somehtign extra to make it work but cant remember now.

Im sure others had this issue or knwo what to do. SO how ot run GUI miner on Windows server?

It says 'no openCL installed but can run CPU/CUDA'. yet it doesnt - says nothign to mien on.

On the other server it says some .dll is missing - softare opens with same message as above - yet of course doesnt mine.


Any solutions?

If you can use CUDA, but can't mine, I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the nvidia drivers.

im using BTCGUILD guiminer btw, it may be somehow bad?

I have done cpu mining on windows 2008 r2 servers about two weeks ago and converted them to do LTC cpu mining generating 0.1 LTC per day.
Anyways first thing is first, do you have a video card?
By the sounds of it, your mining software is not detecting a compatible video card.

Second if you are CPU mining then you will need to use pooler's cpuminer that has been the fastest I personally tested, however with a dual xeon 5430, I was only get about 15-20MH/s mining BTC using 4 cores.
Switched from ufasoft to pooler's cpuminer and started mining Litecoins instead with that server and getting about 40-45KH/s on 5 cores.
