Automate generation and installation of certs from AD CS over the web?

We have an environment where there are dozens of separate AD forests, none of which have (or can have) any trust relationships.
We also have an Active Directory Certificate Server that we use for generating internal certs. This AD CS server is available to all of the servers via the web console (https://some.url/certsrv), but there is no other connectivity to the AD CS other than
port 443.
The question is, are there any methods we can use to automate the generation and installation of certs from the AD CS server? Specifically, suppose I am sitting on SERVERX and I am running a script, is it possible to have that script generate and submit
a cert request to https://some.url/certsrv, then retrieve and install the cert into the machine store?
The research I have done so far shows that this is typically possible if the CA is part of the same AD forest and is reachable over more ports than just 443.
Today we do an awkward launch of iexplore and some screen scraping, but it requires manual intervention to get it to work, and we'd like to fully automate the process.

You should consider to use a certificate enrollment web services (which are intended for such scenarios):

  • How do I download images from Lightroom Mobile through the web interface?

    I am new to Lightroom Mobile. I would like to access the collections I've synced to the cloud and download individual images from my collections via the web interface. I see there is an option to copy the image via the iPad app but I don't see a copy image option via the web interface. I realize you can share entire collections of photos in the web interface but I would like to be able to simply download select photos via the Lightroom mobile web application. When I right click on the image there is no "save as..." option even - only an option to download the entire webpage.
    Any advice?
    Thanks.

    I was looking to do the same thing and spoke to an Adobe online chat staffer. It was a very confusing conversation. I think I eventually got him to understand what I wanted to do, and he seemed to think the answer was "not possible". Not very impressed with the technical support though.

  • Preventing the automatic download and installation of iOS 8

    Once again this becomes an issue. How to prevent the automatic download and installation of iOS 8. Thanks.

    Grrrrr. This needs a solution. I have a portable wifi account I use for teaching (mainly Apple devices) and when traveling. It updates my download capacity in 1gb chunks at $10 each. Just traveling at the moment, and this coincides with Apple updates. Three devices, @ 2 odd gb ea, all deciding to update while I drive. By the time I got the update notices from Optus, all three devices had downloaded the updates and were waiting for me to press install. I don't mind installing, but I don't want to pay $60 for the downloads thru this account. I think Apple owes me $60. There's no reason they can't set a restriction on this type of download for user nominated accounts. This is a significant issue for a lot of people. Please Apple,

  • Awful Experience with Delivery and Installation of Appliances from BBY

    I went to the Best But in College Park, MD on 02 March 2015 with the intention of buying an appliance suite (refrigerator, range, and dish washer). A sales associated assisted me promptly upon entering the store, and I let him know what I needed to purchase and that I would need delivery, installation, and haul away for all three items. He stated that the delivery, installation, and haul away was included with the price of all three items, and we scheduled my initial delivery date for 13 March 2015.
    The evening before my delivery, 12 March 2015, I got a call from the Geek Squad giving me a three hour window they would be there to deliver and install my items. In going over the order with the representative I asked if the same crew dropping off the appliances would be installing the plumbing for the dishwasher. Contrary to what I was told in the store at the time of purchase, the representative on the phone notified me that a dishwasher installation was not sold to me and the following day the only thing the crew would be doing is dropping off the dishwasher. She then instructed me to call the store to see if there was any adjustments that could be made that would not change my delivery date the following day.
    So, I call the store and explain what is going on to the representative in customer service. He instructs me that he cannot add the installation on to the order for the next day because the route has already been made and the warehouse told him its too late to change. So, instead he, in conjunction with his manager, said he can add the dishwasher install for a later date that I was available, but the delivery of the range and the refrigerator would remain for the following date. After about 45 minutes we work through the kinks and he lets me know he will call me back the following day to give me a solidified date and time that the dishwasher can be installed.
    So, the following day comes and the time frame for my delivery and installation of the range and refrigerator comes and goes without hearing a word from Best But or the Geek Squad. So, I call customer service and the rep I'm speaking with lets me know that whatever the in-store rep did over the phone the following night put the entire order into reschedule and nothing would be delivered to me that day. Imagine my frustration because I've taken off from work to take possession of appliances that AREN'T GOING TO SHOW UP. Immediately, I hang up with customer service and go into the store where I originally purchased the appliances. I was told it did in fact get pushed into reschedule and my only option was to reschedule the delivery AGAIN. After working with both the rep and the General Manager in-store I was able to get the delivery rescheduled for 23 March 2015 with the dishwasher installation added to the order for free since it was an error caused by a Best Buy employee.
    On 21 March 2015, I got the calls from the automated system giving me my three hour window the installers would be there on the 23rd of March to install my items. On 23 March 2015, the crew with the refrigerator and the range showed up first. They asked me to come to the truck upon arrival because there was some issue with the refrigerator and they wanted me to see it before they unloaded it and brought it up to my home. The refrigerator of course shows up badly dented on the door, so I refuse it because I haven't gone through all of this to take possession of a damaged product. The delivery man let me know that if I did take possession of it, they would offer me some discounts because it was damaged. I said no thanks and he called customer service for me to speak with a woman at the warehouse about the damaged product. The woman at the warehouse said she was going to check their inventory and call me back within a few moments to reschedule a new unit to be sent out. They install the range without an issue. Next, the dishwasher team shows up and that goes off without a hitch. Of course, I didn't hear back from anyone at the warehouse at all that evening to reschedule the delivery of a new refrigerator.
    All in all, this has been a HORRIBLE experience with Best Buy. As a loyal Elite Status Rewards Zone customer and a former employee of the Best Buy in College Park, MD, I can say after this appliance experience, Best But has lost a lifelong customer. The level of customer service I received was sub-par and their attempts to correct an issue that started with their employee giving me improper information about installation being included in the price of all the appliances made the situation worse. I ended up returning the refrigerator because I refuse to wait any longer or go through anymore drama in order to take possession of something I paid for twenty days ago and can't receive because of Best Buy's inability to get their act together. I ended up purchasing a refrigerator from Sears immediately after cancelling my order for the one from Best Buy and it was delivered next day and damage free.

    Hello canbro34,
    The purchase and delivery of new appliances should be exciting and fun and not result in the kinds of tribulations that you describe. Our representatives should ensure that you have everything you need for a successful delivery and installation and I was surprised to read that the did not. I apologize for your having to cope with this frustrating experience.
    I was gratified to read that the store's general manager was able to work with you to help assuage some of the problems that were created. It was regrettable that the refrigerator arrived damaged, but I was happy to hear that the delivery and installation of the other appliances went smoothly.
    Although I understand your reasons, I was dismayed to read that you elected to purchase your refrigerator from a competitor and that this experience may influence your future shopping destination. It is my hope that you will give Best Buy another chance one day soon.
    Please know that I am sincerely grateful that you took the time to share your experience with us.
    Sincerely,
    John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

    Not Charge
    - See:

    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My HD has been replaced and when backing up from my time machine the transferred got interrupted

    My HD has been replaced and when backing up from my time machine the transferred got interrupted. When Mac book booted only half the data. So I erased the hard drive to start again although I now can't restore from my time machine  as its saying not enough space on HD to restore. Please help coz I'm freaking out!

    I seriously doubt that you can do that. I've never heard of anyone doing something like this. I also strongly suspect that that windows software didn't preserve all the resource fork, ownership and hard links correctly.
    You are left with manual migration of your data back to your computer. this isn't as hard as you make it sound. You just need to copy you own stuff back. also use the following [post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507] to migrate important parts of you user library, Mail, iphoto etc. You will have to reinstall your applications by hand.

    My Windows XP software recently had an automatic update and now when I open iTunes, I receive the message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes." 
    I have not used iTunes for several weeks so the issue may not be related to the last Windows XP automatic upgrade.  I have never had problems with iTunes in the past.  Is this a real message or perhaps a virus?
    Before I reinstall iTunes, any thoughts?

    It's a real message.
    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

    If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • I would like to create a pop-up window appear from Labview Interface. In this window, I will have a slide control and an image taken from a camera. The main VI have to run while pop-up window is open. How can I do ?

    When I pushed a button, this pop-up window has to appear. There will be a slide control and a picture from a camera in this window. Is it possible to make appear this windows while main VI Interface continue to run ? How can I do this ? Thank you for your answers.
    Cyril.

    Here you go. This is simple example. Maybe not the best way, I am just
    beginner in LV and still not comfortable with data flow that much. I prefer
    events, so I would change this to use Event Structures.
    When you click on OK button on SliderMain, it opens Slider.vi. Now both
    windows are open and you can interact with both. Now if you click on OK
    again with Slider.vi open, you run into problems. Only thing I did was
    change VI properties of slider.vi, mainly window appearance.

  • SIZE OF THE GUST OF GARAGE BAND: The garage window band has remained me too great and I cannot accede from any way to the corner to modify the size. Due to this I cannot accede to the red button to initiate a recording.

    The garage window band has remained me too great and I cannot accede from any way to the corner to modify the size. Due to this I cannot accede to the red button to initiate a recording.

    Two things to try:
    with some Applications it helps to hold down the the "Option Key" while pressing the green "maximize Window" button.
    If that does not help try this Apple Script:
    --Open the AppleScript editor (in Applications -> Utilities), paste the following and run it:
    tell application "Finder"
              set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
    end tell
    tell application "GarageBand"
              set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
              set bounds of window 1 to margins
    end tell
    Good Luck
