Sharing - best practice

Hi All,
Not a fault as such, just looking for advice from more experienced users.
We have an iMac in the study upstairs and a macbook which roams the house and is usualy to be found in the lounge. Both are connected wirelessly to a G spec router.
We keep several thousand (and growing) photos in the iMac library and occasionaly copy the odd slide show to the macbook, but otherwise try to keep this library fairly empty. In case we want to view any other photos on the macbook we have enabled sharing in iPhoto.
The problem is that this causes iphoto to hang for a couple of minutes when starting on the macbook, presumably while it looks for the shared connection... And then hang for "lots" of minutes if we chose to view the main library, while it down loads the thumbnails.
Now I accept there is a lot of data to shift and also that we are only using a G spec wireless link, but are there any setting, tweaks or methods of working that we could employ to speed things up a bit???
Over to you guys...
With many thanks for any suggestions,
David.

this causes iphoto to hang for a couple of minutes when starting on the macbook, presumably while it looks for the shared connection...
That’s right.
And then hang for "lots" of minutes if we chose to view the main library, while it down loads the thumbnails.
That’s right too.
There’s only one thing you can do: don’t shut down either machine, don’t quit iPhoto on either machine. That’s what I do. That way the process only need happen once a month. (I’m in the habit of restarting my machines once a month, whether they need it or not.)
Other than that, there’s not a lot to be done I’m afraid.

Project Sharing - Best Practices

Our new business plan is going to require that we have multiple developers working on a single NetWeaver Project (EP and Web DynPro projects).
What is the best way to set this up so we can all work on a project together? Our current process simply places the project on our network server and we all open the same project. We typically are working on different sections of a project so there isn't a problem with two developers working on the same object at once.
Is this a good way to go? Should we be looking at Development Components and if so, does anyone have a good resource on using it?

I found a development scenarios PDF that should help. Thanks anyway.

Best Practices for sharing media with iMovie and FCPX

So I've a large iMovie Events directory, and would like to use that media with both iMovie and FCPX projects.
I'd rather not duplicate the media, so would prefer to import as references into FCPX.
The dilemma is that I see that it's possible to modify or move media from within the iMovie application, and therefore break the reference to that media with FCPX.
I only see two options: (1) Never Ever modify the location/name of media in the iMovie Events file (even from within the iMovie app) since I would break an FCPX link if that media is referenced, or (2) always import (copy) the iMovie events into the FCPX Event Library making an independent original so that I can confidently operate on those media files in either application.
I'd surely rather not have to do (2 )(e.g. doubling my storage demands) to gain the flexibility of using either application to edit the video, but really don't want to live with the restrictions of (1).
Thoughts / Solutions? What might you consider as options or best practices?

Unless there is some other reason, users should own the right to share their mailboxes - it shouldn't be something that demands administrator management (if only so that the administrators aren't swamped by user requests for sharing their mailboxes).
For true shared mailboxes, when the mailbox is created, full access is granted by an administrator.

Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

hi
we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
Requirements
+ all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
+handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
+ the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
Current Solution
at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
- allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
- all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
- you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
the problem however is that the users also need to access this...

Hi Aleksei,
I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

Best Practice for External Libraries Shared Libraries and Web Dynrpo

Two blogs have been written on sharing libraries with Web Dynpro DC, but I would
like to know the best practice for doing this.
External libraries seem to work great at compile time, but when deploying there is often an error related to the external library not being a deployed component.
Is there a workaround for this besides creating a shared J2EE library which I have been able to get working? I am not interested in something that works, but really
what are the best practice for this. What is the best way to limit the number of jars that need to be kept in a shared library/ext library. When is sharing ref service/etc a valid approach vs. hunting down the jars in the portal libraries etc and storing in an external library.

Security is mainly about mitigation rather than 100% secure, "We have unknown unknowns". The component needs to talk to SQL Server. You could continue to use http to talk to SQL Server, perhaps even get SOAP Transactions working but personally
I'd have more worries about using such a 'less trodden' path since that is exactly the areas where more security problems are discovered. I don't know about your specific design issues so there might be even more ways to mitigate the risk but in general you're
using a DMZ as a decent way to mitigate risk. I would recommend asking your security team what they'd deem acceptable.

Best practice for sharing data with model window

Hi team,
what would the best practice for sharing data with a modal
window be ? I use a modal window to display record details from a
record list, but i am not quite sure how to access the data from
the components in the main application in the modal window.
Any hints would be welcome
Best
Frank

Pass a reference to the parent into the modal popup. Then you
can reference anything in the parent scope.
I haven't done this i 2.0 yet so I can't give you code. I'll
post if I do.
Oh, also, you can reference the parent using parentDocument.
So in the popup you could do:
parentDocument.myPublicVariable = "whatever";

Best practice for SWC's in shared projects?

I'm creating a number of Flex components in Flash for a project where the development responsibilities will be shared between myself and another developer via SVN.
My question is regarding linking the SWC's in the Flex Build Path. The .swc files are stored in the project src folder (src/components/swc/Tab.swc) It doesn't look like I can use a relative path. When the other developer opens the project on his local workspace, will he have have to relink the SWC's?
What's the best practice for a scneario like this?

Um... ok. But, don't you still have to link the swc?
What I mean is, once I do that (place the swc in the library), I am unable to access that component. Seems as though I'm missing a step.
Will continue to consult the documentation, but some clarity on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Best Practice: Sharing Action Task

My application has two Action implementations. One is "SaveAs" which shows a JFileChooser and then saves to file using SwingWorker to keep GUI responsive. The other is "Exit" which does exactly the same (but only if the lokal document is "dirty") and terminates the application after that. It works pretty well.
But it is not nice that 90% of the code is duplicated, so the question is, what is the best practice?
One could imagine a lot of possible solutions, like:
- Exit extends SaveAs, or both extending a common super class. Technically right, but rather strange: What shall that super class be named besides a synthetical "ExitAndSaveAsSuperClass"...?
- Exit calls SaveAs and passes a parameter telling SaveAs to exit after SwingWorker is finished. Technically possible, but horizontal calls always have a bad smell of SpaghettiCode.
- Exit and SaveAs both have no own code besides telling a third class to do the work. Looks like a good separation of Action and Task. But looks like breaking a butterfly on a wheel.
- etc.
So what I like to know is not whether anybody has any more ideas or what anybody thinks about the above ideas. My question actually is whether there has been emerged a "best practice" for this problem (sharing of Action Task)? I mean, Swing is around for decades now so I assume that there are lots of best practices existing, but I just did not found them so far on the web...?

Perhaps refactor the common save-as functionality in a method of the class, and have the two listeners both use it.

Outlook Calendar 2013/ Office 365 - Best Practice Sharing an Outlook Calendar with others

I am being asked to share user calendars with several users. Would anyone have a recommendation or know the best practice on doing this? I know of two options. Normally I would have used the option in Outlook to add delegates. I was working on
another issue and someone showed me how you can right click on the users name in Calendar and choose properties and then click the permissions tab. The second option changes permissions just for Calendar. Using the delegate option, inbox permissions
can be granted also. Is one of these options better than the other? Thanks

Hi,
There are a few differences between Sharing and Delegation in Outlook. The most important thing is that delegates are people who are allowed to send on behalf of you while sharing is just that you share your folders with others.
There is a general setting in the main Delegates dialog to control whether or not you will still receive these messages yourself as well.
In addition, you can also control whether or not a delegate will receive these messages on a per-delegate basis. This cannot be done by just sharing your Calendar.
Besides, delegate permissions are also required when you want to grant your colleague the permission to see items which are marked as Private. However, there is no way to grant this permission on a per-folder basis.
For more information about this, you can have a look at this:

Best practices for sharing mailboxes

Hello,
To share mailboxes, I am not sure of the 'best practices'.
From my point of view, there are two scenarios :
classic mailbox : an user A wants to share his mailbox so it assigns rights on his mailbox for an userB via Outlook. The userB will add the userA's mailbox to his profile
shared mailbox : the rights are managed by the administrator
Is it correct to divide the management (i.e classic user manages his own mailbox and the administrator manages rights on shared mailbox) or is not ?
And the delegation functionnality in Outlook is not really what I want because the userB must have only access to the mailbox (+calendar+contacts) but he hasn't to manage the appointments, etc.
Thanks for your help

Unless there is some other reason, users should own the right to share their mailboxes - it shouldn't be something that demands administrator management (if only so that the administrators aren't swamped by user requests for sharing their mailboxes).
For true shared mailboxes, when the mailbox is created, full access is granted by an administrator.

Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

Hello,
I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:
Users: 5 users on new iMacs (x3) and upgraded G4s (x2)
Video Editing Suite: Want to connect a new iMac and a Mac Pro, on an open login (multiple users)
All machines are to be able to connect to the network, peripherals and external hard drive. Also, I would like to setup drop boxes as well to easily share files between the computers (I was thinking of using the external harddrive for this).
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

Printing best practices

I've been asking a bunch of questions recently on TS printing and realize that I should just start from scratch. Since I'm not sure what best practices are for this environment, I would like to get everyone's opinion.
This environment:
20 Server 2008 R2 TS' and approximately 200 fat clients (mixed XP and 7). Currently, all network printers are installed on each TS individually (not shared). We also have about 10 USB printers that redirect. Our network printers are set up on 5 different local
servers since we have multiple locations. We print both from local desktops and terminal servers.
What we need is for all network printers to be on each server like they are currently but I'd like to eliminate the need to manage each one on each and every server whenever there is a change. Our current environment was set up by previous IT personnel and
I'm not sure if it's optimal
I understand there are multiple ways to deploy printers but I don't know what is best for our environment. I've tried Print Management but I need to be able to set preferences. I've tried GPP in Computer Configuration but it doesn't seem to work (possibly because
of the current set up). I would like to know how others would manage the printers in this environment, even if I need to delete everything and start over. I am also inexperienced with servers and group policy so I will ask follow up questions to most responses.
Sorry in advance!
Edit:To be more clear about my scope of knowledge- I know where the Active Directory and Group Policy Management reside. I have modified existing group policies
but not made new ones. Since all of our changes always apply to all users/terminal servers/roaming profiles, I've never needed to create OU's or use any kind of item-level targeting so I am not familiar with those.
Also, I would greatly appreciate not being redirected to another site/forum for answers. I've read hundreds
and am getting mixed responses since I'm not sure what is appropriate for this particular environment. That and because I need layman's terms :) Thank you!

Hey Lynnette
I read through some of the other questions you were asking.
Deployed Printers from Print Management is only for adding printer connections, it's not for adding local printers and Deployed Printers does not support setting a default printer.
Group Policy Preferences supports adding local printers and connections. It can be used to set the default but not sure if that's for connections or local printers.
If the end result is to have the same configuration of local printers on multiple machines, I suggest using \windows\system32\spool\tools\PrintBRM.exe to backup the local printers from your Primary machine, then restore to all the other targets.
You can create a scheduled task to perform the backup and restores.
If you are looking to add printer connections in the "Computer" context (all users logging on will get the connection to the shared printer), you can achieve this using the local machine policy or using a domain policy that only applies to a specific
set of computers. But once again no default is set but it's fairly easy to set the default with printui.exe or prnmngr.vbs both included with the operating system.

Home Movie Cataloging - BEST PRACTICES

I have about 200 hours of old home movies on VHS which I am in the process of adding to my iMac. I am wondering about 'best practices' on how much video can be stored inside of iMovie '08, when how much video becomes too much inside of the program, etc.
In a perfect world, I'd like to simply import all of my home videos into iMovie, leave them in the 'library' section, and make 2-5 minute long clips in the 'projects' section for sharing with family members, but never deleting anything from the 'library'. Is this a good way to store original data? Would it be smarter to export all of the original video content to .DV files or something like that for space saving, etc?
Can I use iMovie to store and catalog all of my old home movies in the same way I use iPhoto to store ALL of my photos, and iTunes to store ALL of my music/hollywood-movies, etc?

We-ell, since no-one else has replied:
1 hour of DV (digital video in the file system which iMovie uses) needs 13GB of hard disc space.
You have 200 hours of video. 200 x 13 = 2,600 gigabytes. Two point six terabytes. If you put all that on one-and-a-bit 2TB hard discs, and a hard disc fails - oops! - where's your backup? ..Ah, on another one-and-a-bit 2TB hard discs ..or, preferably, spread over several hard discs, so that if one fails you haven't lost everything!
iMovie - the program - can handle video stored on external discs. But are you willing to pay the price for those discs? If so; fine! Digitise all your VHS and store it on computer discs (prices come down month by month).
Yes, you can "mix'n'match" clips between different projects, making all sorts of "mash-ups" or new videos from all the assorted video clips. But you'll need more hard disc space for the editing, too. You could use your iMac's internal hard disc for that ..or use one of the external discs for doing the editing on. That's how professionals edit: all the video "assets" on external discs, and edit onto another disc. That's what I do with my big floorstander PowerMac, or whatever those big cheesegraters were called..
So the idea's fine, as long as you have all the external storage you'd need, plus the backup in case one of those discs fails, and all the time and patience to digitise 200 hours of VHS.
Note that importing from VHS will import material as one long, continuous take - there'll be no automatic scene breaks between different shots - so you'll have to spend many hours chopping up the material into different clips after importing it.
Best way to index that? Dunno; there have been several programs which supposedly do the job for you (..I can't remember their names; I've tried a few: find them by Googling..) but they've been more trouble - and taken up more disc space - than I've been prepared to bother with. I'd jot down the different clips as you create them, either by jotting in TextEdit (simplest) or in a database or spreadsheet program such as Excel or Numbers or similar ..or even in a notebook.
Jot down the type of footage (e.g; 16th Birthday party), name of clip (e.g; 016 party), duration (e.g; 06:20 mins and seconds) and anything else you might need to identify each clip.
Best of luck!
