10.6.4 Server & iMacs deployment via NetBoot from server

Hi, I have a lab of new 27" iMacs to deploy & a 10.6.4 XServer.
I require help in this.
From studying various sources I have setup one iMac with all our software and created a Disk Utility image by connecting this to the Xserver via FireWire cable.
I have used System Image Utililty to create a new NetRestore Workflow (the NetInstall option is grayed out).
The subsequent image is default enabled in Server Admin NetBoot settings.
However when booting iMac 'N option' the world icon appears followed by an apple logo & then the iMac does nothing.
The server logs shows BSDP DISCOVER & BSDP OFFER sent.
Please advise what am I doing wrong and can someone provide some instructions of how to deploy images from 10.6.4 server.
Thanks

Possibly a DHCP issue as the target Mac needs to acquire an IP
From the System Image manual page 44 http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/SystemImagev10.6.pdf
Step 3: Set up DHCP.
NetBoot requires that you have a DHCP server running on the local server or on another server on the network. Make sure you have a range of IP addresses sufficient to accommodate the number of clients that will use NetBoot at the same time. For more information about configuring DHCP, see Network Services Administration.

Options for deployment via Remote Desktop Services / Terminal Server

Currently we have volume licenses for CS which is deployed via remote desktop services in a multi-server load balanced farm.
When reaching out to support, they informed me that CC cannot be deployed via RDS/terminal services.
Seeing that CS is discontinued, how does Adobe suggest deployment of their apps via RDS/Terminal services?
The support rep really didn't have an answer for me.
I find it hard to believe that Adobe's going to abandon deployment of their apps in the enterprise as things are moving towards thin clients rather than traditional desktops.
We'd like to avoid needing to go VDI instead of RDS if possible.
I'd imagine VDI would have the same licensing issues assuming you don't want to have a dedicated VM for each user rather than having a shared pool of VMs.
Thank You.

Otherwise, Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html since this forum is about the "regular" Cloud

Serving ISOs via Netboot?

I have an Mac OS X 10.6 server that is currently hosting some netboot images for DeployStudio. Everything there works very well. However, We have some Macs that are running Windows, for which we are not using DeployStudio. We have a WinPE and Ghost environment for all of our Windows machines. In order to image these Macs to Windows, we have a bootable CD that will take them to the WinPE environment.
I'd like to take the CD out of the picture and just have the Macs boot to the ISO that is used to make that CD. However, I cannot figure out how to do it. I made copies of my working DeployStudio NBIs and pointed them to the ISO by changing the NBImageInfo.plist. When attempting to boot these Macs to the new NBI, I just get a circle with a line through it. I also tried making a DMG with Disk Utility, and a SpareImage with Carbon Copy Cloner, and those do not work either.
I know I must be missing something somewhere if they can boot to the WinPE environment with the CD, but not via netboot. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Ben,
because applet can not visit web container's certain directory(as /web-inf/classes) for security reason, so, put those applets' classes and their appropriate directory into a public (visitable) web path (like, /)
use "codebase" attribute in your html applet tag pointing to them. it should work.
like :
webApplication
|- theme
|- WEB-INF
| |- classes
| |- applets (compiled applets)
| |- servlets (compiled servets)
|- index.html
|- applets
| |- SpreadsheetApplet.class
<applet code=applets.SpreadsheetApplet codebase=http://yourhost/>

Deploying via powershell command from AppV Management Server 5.0

Hello All,
Good day!
I am having hard time in deploying an application from AppV Management Server 5.0 using Powershell command.
I have an application which works in Standalone client machine and even from SCCM 2012(AppV Deployment), whereas if I deploy that application from AppV server it is not working
I am using this command line to deploy an application from AppV Mgmt server thru powershell command,
Import-AppvServerPackage -PackagePath "<Path of .appv file>" –DynamicDeploymentConfigurationPath "<Path of DeploymentConfig.xml"> | Publish-AppvServerPackage -Verbose | Grant-AppvServerPackage -Groups "domain\AppV_Users"
-Verbose
is there anything wrong in the command which I used?
When I run, am receiving this error.
Import-AppvServerPackage : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name
'DynamicDeploymentConfigurationPath'.
At line:1 char:126
+ ... 1.0.3333.appv" –DynamicDeploymentConfigurationPath '\App_DeploymentConfig.xml' ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Import-AppvServerPackage], ParameterBindingException

whereas this command works, without DynamicDeploymentConfigurationPath
Import-AppvServerPackage -PackagePath "<Path of .appv file>" | Publish-AppvServerPackage -Verbose | Grant-AppvServerPackage -Groups "domain\AppV_Users" -Verbose
How do I direct my application to take the DeploymentConfig.xml file though powershell.
I even tried to Import this xml from AppV Management console, even it did not work for me.
Kindly help me, your inputs needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

Issues with running permission scripts on Hoted desktop via Citrix and when deploying via SCCM

I am running a permissioning VBScript which runs when I do a standalone insallation manually running the power shell commands to add and publish the application.
This only runs vis SCCM when a machine installation is acrried out but not a per user installation. Any ideas?
The same script seems to run sometimes & sometimes does not on a hosted desktop with aps publish via citrix from the appv server. Any ideas?. A coppy of my Deploymentconfig.xml file userscript section that calls the script is below
<UserScripts>
 <StartProcess RunInVirtualEnvironment="true">
 <ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe</ApplicationId>
 <Path>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\AdobeSerialization.exe</Path>
 <Arguments>adobe_prtk --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\prov.xml</Arguments>
 <Wait RollbackOnError="false" />
 </StartProcess>
 <StartVirtualEnvironment>
 <Path>WSCRIPT.EXE</Path>
 <Arguments>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\VFSCACLS.vbs -guid 6d0756af-b755-493b-8cee-4299e8666978 -error -name "Adobe Photoshop CS6"</Arguments>
 <Wait RollbackOnError="false" />
 </StartVirtualEnvironment>
 </UserScripts>
The guys in the build team reckon this is an application issues but I can't see how it can be if the applications runs when manually calling the powersehell commands. Also like I said on the Hosted desktop one minutes the script runs and one minute it does
not.
Can someone help please?

Hello,
If deploying the application to the user, and the configuration file is updated as part of the content and distributed to the DPs, and then downloaded to the client and the client is enabled to run scripts - no I never had that issue.
If I had something which didn't work I would usually verify what is on the Distribution Point?
You can download the SCCM 2012 R2 toolkit to verify what is on the DPs;
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36213
If it is deployed to the client - it means you can read the client log-file from SCCM. See the AppEnforce.log as a potential candidate;
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427342.aspx#BKMK_AppManageLog
If it gets properly parsed by the App-V Client you can check the App-V event logs, see Tim Mangans blog post about enabling further debug-logs;
http://www.tmurgent.com/TMBlog/?p=1247
As I can't see what is happening within your Environment I would redo all the steps and verify what the results were of each step. If one step fails, I would then post what step I had performed up until that point, what the result were of each step and what
was happening within the final step that I would consider a failure.

Pointer slow when deployed via Citrix XenApp

I have Acrobat Standard XI installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 boxes and deployed to users via Citrix.
Users have reported an issue whereby the mouse pointer is jittery as though the refresh rate on it is low whenever the select tool changes to the pointer below:
This only happens when the application is deployed via Citrix
When I remotely connect to the server and run the application I do not experience the same issue.
It only happens with this particular pointer, all others are fine
This only affects Acrobat Standard XI, Reader XI is fine.
We have raised the issue separately with Citrix themselves, but I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this issue and what, if anything the resolution was?

Adobe Reader was installed and running on all Citrix servers since their inception over a year ago.
Recently, we installed Adobe Standard on each server and during installation Adobe Standard asked whether Reader or Standard should be used as the default program. Adobe reader was selected and 80-85% of the time, the Citrix servers observe this rule.
On other occasions, when users with access to Reader open a PDF, Citrix will present Adobe Standard instead of the default program. At first, I thought it might be caused by a user with Standard already open but further testing proved Adobe Standard can be presented to a user of Reader even if there is no open session of Standard.

Web as 640 sp9 hangs by step "deploy via SDM/J2EE"

Hi,
I tried to install the sp9 for many times - very frustrating - can anyone help please ?
Follwing products have been installed:
1. webas 640, sp3
2. webas 640, sp8
3. ep6 sp3
4. ep6 sp6
5. But now it struggles - I have problems with applying the patch 9 to webas , the steps until to "deploy online" were sucessfull, but the step "deploy via SDM/J2EE" has an error. In the SAP MMC the process SDM was yellow, and stopped. The file callSdmViaSapinst.log shows:
Nov 24, 2004 8:48:18 AM Info: SDM operation mode successfully set to: Integrated
Nov 24, 2004 8:48:18 AM Info: Initializing Network Manager (50017)
Nov 24, 2004 8:48:19 AM Info: Checking if another SDM is running on port 50018
Nov 24, 2004 8:48:19 AM Error: Could not start SDM - another Server may be running already.

So I stopped the SDM with stopserver, started it again with start sdm jstartup "mode=standalone"
and restarted sapinst - now it worked until the component com.sap.rprof.remoteProfile , now I have the message:
ERROR: NOT updated. The Deploy Service returned the following error: For detailed information see the log file of the Deploy Service. Exception is:
com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4ConnectionException: Possible problem: no available running server node. Check your running servers.
What now ? I stopped the server, restarted the sapinst from the beginning - the same result. Whats wrong ?
Thanx a lot,
Martin

I had this same SDM issue during an install. I simply stopped and started the instance. and then restarted the install.
However I would review the consiole logs and see why the server would not be running. If the server starts up and then dies it is probably something related to the java paramters. If you changed the paramters via configtool and you properly apply them, I would restart the instance and then kick of install again...
This process worked for me.
Hope this helps,
John

Deployment via JDev works, OEM - File Upload not!?

Hello!
A weird thing for you. I try to deploy a, 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 migrated, Struts-App.
Deploying via JDev to Standalone OC4J 10.1.3 works fine!
Deploying via OEM - File Upload to same OC4J ends in error:
In XYZ.war missing Standard-Deployment in WEB-INF/web.xml
Deploying via JDev to OAS 10.1.3, I get the same web.xml error.
Deploying via OEM - File Upload in OAS 10.1.3, I get the same web.xml error.
Any Ideas why XYZ.ear with same web.xml will be accepted via JDev - Deploy on Standalone OC4J, but not via File Upload and not on OAS?
Thanks, appreciate your help.

Try Mounting /Map the remote storage location / drive to the Application Server Machine and try saving files using mapped location.What i adviced OP is to choose / decide his own remote storage location / medium and have asked him to map it as network drive or mount the respective storage location and asked him to program his application such that for every valid multipart request the application saves respective file in the respective mapped drive or mounted location.
Now this was done just to address his motive for maintaining a remote repository for file storage which was
The next stage is to move it from the webapps server to another server.And i hope someone need not become a magician to solve this :)

If you can, the best way would be to to change the column name from SUBTYPE to something that isn't a SQL reserved key word.
You might get around this particular problem by adding @Column(name = "\"SUBTYPE\"") on your attribute. This will force eclipselink to add quotation marks in the generated SLQ, but I think it will cause problems when it comes to some more complicated queries.
In my opinion, the only safe way here is to not use column names that are in conflict with SLQ reserved key words.

I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8) and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
Thanks.

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

Printing to a printer connected to an iMac via network from Vista PC

I have a Canon PIXMA MP610 connected to a new iMac (Leopard) via USB it works fine on the iMac. I shared the device on the iMac as instructed in the Apple help section. On my network, I have 2 Dell laptops running Vista Ultimate. I installed the lasted drivers on the Dells and was able to find the shared printer on the network and successfully add it to both Dell PCs. The pc's can see status (i.e. ready, idle, etc..) and even ink and paper status. When I try to print to the printer, the document spools in the queue, but then just disappears and nothing comes out of the printer.
Please help!

I just learned that Mac's printer is shown to network as a *PostScript printer* regardless of its type. The guide http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html (for Windows XP) tells how you have to define your printer's name. But you must select a driver for a Apple printer (b/w of color matching yours), don't use the printer's native driver (unless it is a PS printer).
There is no Apple drivers available in my Vista Premium. But fortunately PostScript is well standardized and you can select from any of PS-drivers. i took +HP Color LaserJet 4700 PS+ and now my +Epson Stylus Photo 870+ works fine!

Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

Greetings everyone!
I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
Added them as applications to sccm software library.
Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance.
But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
My membership query-rules for this collection:
Office 2013 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
Office 2010 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
sites with deployment point.
Thanks in advance.

Adobe Reader Touch Enterprise deployment via sideloading

This posting in the Adobe Reader Touch http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1168369 from March 2013 is the same issue, has Adobe made any decisions to allow sideloading deployments yet?
I checked the licensing page https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=distribution_form&pv=rdr and there is no options yet for Windows Apps, and the download page at http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ also lacks an option for Windows Apps. The Enterprise FTP ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/ download site also appears to lack a windows app option, so I assume I've exhausted all possibilites and there is currently no way to deploy via sideloading.

Not supported yet.

Can Adobe Air 3.1 be deployed via Group Policy?

I am looking for a definitive answer as to whether or not Adobe Air 3.1 can be deployed via Group Policy? I've found material on the web that is very contradictory. Can it be done and if so how? I can't find any solid instructions on how to deploy this application and need to have it installed on about 60 desktops.
We are trying to deploy the Salesforce.com Desktop Chatter application. Any helpful info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
I replied via email yesterday, but in case anyone else is following along here's what I said:
For GPO deployment, we don't officially "support" it (ie. we don't test for it internally), however I did run across this recent post where an admin had success.

Hope this helps,
