my company is running a win8 operated server for their internet and we are now developing a media wiki for work related stuff. My question is, can i tell the server to boot up mediawiki on every company computer on startup? if yes how.

thanks in advance

MediaWiki doesn't work that way. It's purely software to manage the content of your website.

I don't entirely understand what you want, but it sounds like you should perhaps use Task Scheduler to open a browser at startup and use Group Policy to set the intranet site as the default homepage.

To me it sounds like you in fact want to do two things:

• First you want to make servers (probably Apache and MySQL) start when booting the OS on the according Windows 8 Server. This can be done using services.
• If you then also want your end-users to start their PC and then to automatically see the wiki, you will additionally have to configure their systems so that Windows automatically starts their browser. In that browser you have configured the wiki URL as startpage.
