AD Sites Question

Hello
We have 13 sites for a single domain implementation and we are planning to reduce them
I have found that Site 3 and Site 4 can be merged into 1 ( site 3 into site 4, so no site3 ) = I have validated bandwidth b/w 2 sites and its excellent ( 10MB).
Site links exist between site 3, Site 4 and Site 5
Site link x = site 3, site 4
Site link y = site 4, site 5
end goal is to remove site link x and have site link y
Site 3 has 3 subnets and 2 Domain controllers for clients to authenticate , when consolidating / merging below are the possible options
1) move 3 subnets to Site 4  : AFAIK , this would not impact existing client authentication / applications dependent on AD because once the subnets are moved, KCC will re-generate intra-site topology and intersite topology ( recalculate process
) and may assign or use existing ISTG
2) change Member servers ip address and DC ip address of site 3 to site 4 : once we change the IP address of DC to Site4 subnet, recalculate will re-create the topology - same as point 1 , no changes to replication / client affinity
calculate the site link cost and assign
3) Delete Domain controllers in site 3 and point clients to site 4: this would not have any replication impact but client authentication should be validated against the bandwidth
please advise if my understanding is correct

Hi,
3) is bad as if you want to "delete" the DCs you have to demote them first le replication complete, then remove the object from AD sites & services.
If you consolidate sites you move the 3 subnets and the DCs (DC IPs belong to the subnets you moved) to the destination site (4), then once replicated you can delete the site 3, KCC will build automatically ntds connections with any replication partners
in site 5.
Maybe others have better suggestions.
Hope it helps.

  • Small web site question :(

    Hello....
    I got the DW CS3 trial, and I have a question:
    I made my site, but there's a problem. When I go to
    www."mysite".com, it shows my newer index page. when I go to
    "mysite".com with out the "www." it goes to my older one. I can't
    even find the older one....Is there anyway to make it so when you
    put the www in or not it still goes to the same thing, or is this
    more complicated?
    Thank you,
    Nick

  • Five free hosted sites question

    Hi,
    I just used one of my five free sites to host a web site I made with Adobe Muse.  I assume the free hosting lasts as long as my Creative Cloud membership subscription is kept up to date.  Is this right?
    I ask because when I go into my partner account on Adobe business Catalyst, the billing method for the site is listed as "Adobe Direct Subscription," but the expiry date is listed as October 1, 2013.  Why is there an expiry date?  Thanks.
    Barbara

    Never mind, I just answered my own question.  October 1st is when my next Creative Cloud subscription is due.  :-)

  • Here we go again...multiple sites question

    hey all
    ok i know i am doing something stupid...have read this entire bloody forum and still not getting it..
    i have two domain.sites2 in my lib/appsupp/iweb folder..when i click on one iweb opens it up, can edit, publish to my dotmac account all good.
    but...the usual problem: i can only publish one without the other one being ''over-rided''
    one of the sites has domain forwarding thru yahoo.
    i tried publishing that one to a folder and replacing the ''index.html'' on my idisc but that just took me to ''safari cannot find server'' yet when i go inside idisc/sites/ and go into one of the site folders and click on the 'index.html'' it takes me to the site on safari but the url is really long and starts with ''volume'' something i don't think i've seen before.
    shouldn't the urls be ''web.mac.com/username/sitename?? if so, how do i make that happen? i have read all the links here on the forum but none are working for me. Er, or I am just not getting it. Most likely the latter.
    thanks! sorry for the long post. help.me.please.

    To jctez:
    You are not alone! I had the same problem and was on this forum a few weeks ago. None of this makes sense to me, either. Here's what I did to solve my problem:
    1. If you can afford about $10 a year plus a reasonable hosting fee, buy a new domain name and hosting service at godaddy.com. They are wonderful. Dotmac ***** for this purpose.
    2. Download an easy ftp software like Transmit (from Apple Downloads for free.)
    3. In iWeb, drag and drop the website you want to publish to your new domain name to the Top of the iWeb list on the left side panel. Make sure it now appears on top of the list of your websites.
    4. In the File menu, "Publish to a Folder." Just choose your desktop. ALL your websites will get copied to your desktop in respective folders, as well as an index page (index.html) for your desired website. Trash the other website folders and the index.html file. It will not effect your originals in iWeb. (You can do this now or later, and another index.html lives within the correct folder that you leave on your desktop.)
    5. Use Transmit (or your ftp of choice) to Upload the contents of the Folder with your new website to your domain server. Do NOT upload the folder itself - choose only the contents WITHIN the folder.
    6. Whenever you want to update this website, make sure the old folder on your desktop is trashed first.
    Done. I hope this helps. It's awkward but it beats doing the fancy footwork with all these sites folders, etc. Let me know if this works for you.

  • Apple web site question

    I couldn't find an appropriate place to ask this so here goes. Does anyone know why apple's search engine is totally useless? 99% of the time it give me product/marketing results, is it only designed for that? The results usually have NOTHING to do what I searched for.
    Thanks

    Does anyone know why apple's search engine is totally useless?
    I don't find it "totally useless". But you need to know where you're searching and for what sort of topic.
    99% of the time it give me product/marketing results, is it only designed for that?
    If you've been using the general search on Apple's main web pages, yes, that's going to primarily turn up product information. If you are looking for support information, click on the Support tab at the top of any Apple web page and use the "Search Support" field. That is designed to provide support information. Though even that search it's always completely effective. Many people use Google's search engine and just specify Apple's support section as the site, e.g.:
    site:support.apple.com <your search query here>

  • Another iWeb/MobileMe business site question...

    I have read the ToS and understand that you are not really supposed to use MobileMe to host a website on which items are sold. Is it also against the ToS to have a website that just provides information about your business (product descriptions, contact info, etc)?

    There are a lot of iWeb business sites on MMe.
    The general impression is that if you want more than just pages, iWeb/MMe is not suitable for business.
    So a webstore with a client database, online ordering and paymant is not possible, because MMe does not support PHP, SSI, CGI and MySQL. Cryptic words you need to do business.
    But having items for sale and use PayPal is a good combination.
    The moderators will no doubt modify this post if I said something that violates the Terms of Use.

  • DNS, site question

    I am tinkering with Snow Leopard Server as a web/file/vpn server. I am not able to get it working however, and wondered if someone could help me out. I am a noob to mac as a web server, but have some experience in dns and apache hosting in the traditional manner using a web host.
    I have a registered domain name, and dns hosted at dyndns.com (I have a dynamic IP at home). The domain name NS's are pointed to dyndns, and dyndns has an A record pointing to my IP. I am forwarding port 80 on my router to the OSX server.
    I currently only have one domain I am working with. When going to the domain externally I am getting an error, so I am tyring to figure out how the dns and routing is handled. The install docs are not too clear on the domain name issues, such as primary name, subdomains, dns use in my type of setup ect.
    What should my Primary domain name be - I was confused as to what to put here. Can it be anything? I intend on hosting several domains, does this affect what my primary should be?
    Also, do I need DNS zone files set up on my OSX Server? From what I understand, adding sites adds virtual host files for apache, so i was hoping to just use dydns to get the requests to the box which can then forward to the right folder, however this doesn't seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Mike

    If Dyndns are handling your DNS then there may be no requirement to run DNS on your machine at all. You may be complicating matters here by trying to do so.
    That's not a gimme, though, since there are many, many ways of configuring your network. At the end of the day, though, there is no requirement in Apache to have DNS running on your server.
    What should my Primary domain name be
    Whatever you like. It could be your own registered domain, but it doesn't have to be. It's not like anyobe is ever going to see this anyway.
    I intend on hosting several domains, does this affect what my primary should be?
    Nope. Unless you're planning on running mail, too (mail is far more sensitive to DNS than web is).

  • Multiple Site Question

    hi Apple Gurus -
    I have a website on my emac, using iWeb 08, 10.5.8, www.artandsoulofnorthtexas.org
    I would like to create an additional site (not related to the current site), using my macbook pro, iweb 09, 10.6.5 - but using the same MobileMe account.
    Will it knock off the artandsoul emac site? In the past that happened (before I got iweb 09 on the macbook pro), and I've been afraid to try it again, but I really need to create this second site. I cannot install iweb 09 on the emac, because it is not an intel. So, I'll be using two different computers for two different sites, two different versions of iweb but same MobileMe account......can this be done?
    Any pointers?
    Many thanks to whoever responds

    Will it knock off the artandsoul emac site?
    No, as long as the site name is difference from the current site name. The problem you're referring to was fixed several versions ago. So just create a new site below your current site in iWeb and publish. I have one domain file with 6 sites in it:
    Click to view full size
    Only the top site can use CNAME domain name forwarding.

  • Customer update site question

    Hi all, thankyou in advance if you can provide any direction
    on this one...
    A customer of mine wants to be able to update their website
    themselves as they regularly update the products they have for
    sale. I have used php in the past to allow another customer to
    update a page himself, so I should be able to re-nut out that one.
    But I need to know if it's possible for the customer to
    upload accompanying photos as well themselves PLUS somehow allow
    visitors to the site to click on a small version of the image and
    have a larger version popup for closer viewing of the product.
    Is that possible at all?
    Cheers

    It sounds like you are looking for a gallery script. There
    are plenty of these out there. The simplest and most common is
    Gallery:
    http://gallery.menalto.com/
    . This will require a database.
    You could make one yourself, although you would need to
    understand writing PHP scripts because I believe this would be
    outside the scope of what DW can do.
    If you are looking for other scripts I would definitely
    recommend checking out www.hotscripts.com .

  • Two iWeb vs. ~/Sites/ questions

    Hi,
    I gather from other posts that iWeb stores:
     • its local copy of a site in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/,
     • the (.Mac) published copy in iDisk/Web/Sites/,
    and this site would become available at <http://web.mac.com/thubsch>. (Nothing there, yet.)
    I have an extensive web-site in my iDisk/Sites/ folder (locally stored in ~/Sites/), and as long in the tooth as it is, I'd like to keep it. This site is accessible at <http://homepage.mac.com/thubsch/>.
    Q.1:
    The different storage and access patterns let me believe that one can have both, with no interference. Is that true?
    Q.2:
    If iWeb's web pages are modified externally (with another HTML or TEXT editor), can iWeb accept those edits and carry on, or are they no longer iWeb-editable?
    Thanks, Tristan

    1. Yes, homepage stuff and iweb stuff is independent and in totally different places.
    2. Any edits you make to an iWeb site after publishing have to be made again after any republishing from iWeb. iWeb only works with its own data in the Domain file and has no way to open a published site or .html files or any way to know what you have added to one.

  • Large site question

    My old site using Golive has lots of folders in folders. I am setting up a new domain site using only iweb.. It will have say 100 pages If I break it up into sites in iweb would I need a domain name for each site?

    You can create a link to another site and make it appear as if the sites are all one. Say you want to have a link to Page A of Site B in your Site A. In site A create a blank page and name it Page A. On that page put the following code in an HTML snippet on the page:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.location.replace('URL OF PAGE A OF SITE B');
    </script>
    Now when a visitor clicks on Page A in the navbar of Site A they will immediately be redirect to Page A of Site B. Do the same in Site B to get them back to Site A.
    This is one way to link multiple sites from multiple domain files into one site online. I've used this method somewhat in creating a family site of over 80 individual sites. Each site is a page in the overall site. This makes working in iWeb much easier and safer because if a domain file gets damaged while working only one page is at risk.

  • How do I create an Oracle 10g offsite backup

    Total size of the datafiles that make up the tablespaces of the DB = 1532121.6875 Mb
    This size will eventually grow to about 6-7 terrabytes
    I used the following query to determine the above size:
    SELECT sum(bytes/1048576) FROM dba_extents; I saw this question poseted on another site
    QUESTION POSED ON: 15 August 2007
    I recently handled a project whereby we have many site servers at various places in our country and there is a central server in Delhi (India). My project is to take a backup of the local server and post that backup to the central server via Internet. I chose the RMAN (Recovery Manager) approach. Using that approach I can back up the database and connect to the remote database. But I can't find how to post the backup to the remote server. Please give me guidance regarding this project.
    This was the answer:
    EXPERT RESPONSE
    Basically, there are two options to have RMAN back up to a remote server. One, back up locally and then FTP the backup to the remote server. Two, create a network file share from the database server to the remote server. Have RMAN back up to the network file share. It will think the file system is local, but in actuality, the file system is in another location.
    Currently a level 1 incremental backup is done at 10:00PM every night to the array (this takes approximately 1 hour to be completed). I am interested in doing a full hot offsite backup of the DB to a disk on another server.
    Can anyone tell me how would I be able to do this using RMAN and/or backing locally and then FTP'ing the backup to a remote sever.
    Can anyone also confirm if the calculation for the size of the DB is accurate?
    ( I did the calculations based on what I saw at this site and this site)
    I would like to do this in preperation for some firmware upgrade that our Sun support would like to do on the array, I would like to implement a script (or maybe use RMAN) to do a nightly offsite backup. I would still need to do the DB backup to the array...but what files do I copy off the array (to the remote server) for an offsite backup of the DB.
    I would really appreciate any help.
    MY CURRENT RMAN CONFIGS

    Thanks for the help, I took a look at the script. Suppose however I didn't/couldn't do any modification of the Oracle RMAN settings (without voiding my support contract). Could I simply copy the necessary DB files to a remote server, would I be able to do a restore (if necessary) from those copied files?

    There is a generic function to create change pointers for all message typs - 'CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE_DIRECT'.  This is triggered only if you configure your message type to create change pointers from BD50.
    Once you activate it do any change to orders you can see change pointer tables BDCPV filled. Then BD21 will read the changes and generated outbound idocs accordingly.
