10.6 Server, Deploy Studio for Macs, Fog for PCs

I've been banging my head on this problem for the last two days and am at the point that I'm going in circles. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
We have a mini server running 10.6.7. For a while now (8+ months) it has been our DHCP server and we have used deploy studio to deploy images to our Macs. So far, so good.
We decided to use deploy studio for PC deployment, and after some testing changed our minds and chose to switch our PC deployment to a fog server. This is where the trouble comes in.
I uninstalled deploy studio entirely, re-installed it without the PC components and re-configured it so it only responds to Macs. I also deleted all of its PC files.
When we try to network boot a PC, it appears they are STILL trying to connect to our mini server instead of the fog machine.
I've gone into the /etc/bootpd.plist and tried adding or modifying the following values in various configurations.
<key>dhcp_tftp_server_name</key>
<data>wKgBGQ==</data>
<key>dhcp_bootfile_name</key>
<string>pxelinux.0</string>
<key>dhcp_option_66</key>
<data>wKgBGQ==</data>
<key>dhcp_option_67</key>
<string>pxelinux.0</string>
wKgBGQ== is the encoded value of the fog server's IP address using "DHCP Option Code Utility". I also tried using it for the pxelinux.0 file option, with no change in the symptom or result.
As long as I use 1 of each of the options (i believe tftp_server_name is 66, and bootfile_name is 67), I can use IPNetMonitorX to query options 66 & 67 and I get the following:
Unrecognized DHCP option: 66 length: 4 value: 192.168.1.25
Unrecognized DHCP option: 67 length: 10 value: 7078656c 696e7578 2e30
If I put the 2nd line's value through a hex to ascii converter, I get pxelinux.0
No matter what, the PC's always give "TFTP Error - file not found".
Netboot and deploy studio still works for the Macs. I have no idea how to get the PCs to stop trying to connect to our mini server and look at the fog server instead.

I got a step further. I set option 128 (usually TFTP Server IP address) to the IP address of the fog server, and now 1 boot out of 5 or so, the PCs boot to the fog server.
It seems like the request is timing out too fast for some of the PCs, so now I'm trying to find that option.

Problem to create "New Database Diagram" in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012 SQL Express

Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express edition (name of installation media: en_sql_server_2012_express_edition_with_advanced_services_x64.exe) from MSDN and I have installed the application on my pc with Windows 7 Exterprise.
Everything is working fine except when I am trying to create "New Database Diagram", where I recieve following error message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)
BUTTONS:
OK
I have tried two times to reinstall SQL Server 2012 Express and I have installed Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2012 and restarted the machine, but I have still the same problem with the same error message.
Installed the following fixes:
1) 2012_RTM_DAC_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
2) SQLServer2012_RTM_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
These files was installed successful.
How can I solve the problem?

Hi Jan,
Have you installed Visual Studio in your machine?
The problem seems to be related to installing and uninstalling the VS 2011 RC0 program.
The workaround involves copying the files from another PC with SQL 2008 or 2012 from one machine to another. Just replace this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSDesigners8

Is it better to install windows on the same mac hard drive or use the second hard drive bay as it's own? Im also using deploy studio and am having trouble creating a workflow to assign the bay.

Have mac pros with 1tb drives in tem. Trying to figure out imaging via deploy studio.

For the easist install and problem solving having W7 on it's own disk would be the best way to go.
The only thing you need to do is either take out the lower # drives ahead of the future Windows disk or put the Windows HD in bay/slot #1. (or just take out all but the future W7 disk and install it manually works too)
The easiest way would be to put the W7 drive in slot slot/bay #1 then you can still use BC Assistant to install the drivers and such.
After the install you can have the Windows drive in any slot you want.
I'm not familier with Deploy Studio so can't help you beyond this.

Mac OS 10.6 Server w/ Deploy Studio

I need some help getting deploy studio working with 10.6 server and netbooting for re-imaging computer over 1Gbit.
If there is any one out there that has done this and can help me please let me know.. I am stuck and need to get this up and running

Well, for starters, what have you done so far? What works and what doesn't.
One issue I ran into was that I had to be logged in as root on the server in order to setup DeployStudio. Once it was setup, I could logout and login as an admin user, but the setup seemed to need root. Not sure if this is a common issue or if it will help you...in any event, I believe it should work just fine, but, back to my first question.
DeployStudio also has a good discussion page - you should check that out as well.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

Deploying OIF for Oracle Weblogic Server

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem deploying OIF for Weblogic. I've installed Weblogic 10.0.0.3 and OIF 11g.
I want to know the procedure of creating an IdP and a SP using weblogic server.
Please help!!!

Hi,
Please check this.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/install.1111/e12002/federation.htm#sthref37
When you install Oracle Identity Federation 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), a WebLogic Managed Server is created and the Oracle Identity Federation J2EE application is installed on it. If you install Oracle Identity Federation in a new Oracle WebLogic Server administration domain by selecting the Create Domain option, the Fusion Middleware Control management component is also deployed.
Hope this helps.

SQL Server Mgt Studio 2008 installation problem - Key not valid for use in specified state

I'm setting up SQL Server Management Studio 2008 on my laptop. It installed fine, but failed to import a regsrver file exported from another machine. This appears to have been due to the fact that I exported the file with usernames and passwords, although I must admit that's pretty darned inconvenient if it can't be done.
Nevertheless, I exported the file again without usernames and passwords, but the new install now won't let me even see servers, let alone import any new ones.
When I start Studio, it gives me the "Key not valid for use in specified state" error. When I 'continue', I'm delivered to a screen with the 'registered servers' pane crippled. It has no contents at all and no ability to add, select, import, export. Nothing there.
How do I rectify this?
The installation is on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Don,
Since this issue was still not resolved even after you reinstall SQL Server 2008, I think that this issue is probably related to some corrupted files or registry keys. Please refer to the following steps to see if you can resolve this issue:
1. Close your SSMS;
2. Go to the folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\ and check if there is a Shell folder, if so, rename it to Shell-Copy;
3. Re-open your SSMS to see if the error persists.
Everytime SQL Server 2008 Management Studio starts, it will read information from this folder to retrieve and recover some data. If the information does not exists, it will recreate new ones. Please check if this helps.
Best regards,
Charles Wang

To add to Don's comment, if you are using a different account (for example, an SA account) to run SQL Server management studio then make sure to change the user profile name when you browse to "%appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\".
I know many of us developers have multiple accounts and I usually have my SA account have logon privileges on databases not my regular AD Account.
Other than that, the reason why this fails is because MS encrypted the regsrvr file on the source computer using the source computer's ID and is therefore unable to decrypt the file on the destination computer. To me that just doesn't make sense since the
whole idea of Export and import was to move this information across computers! And that's why this works when you import without username and passwords - no more encryption/decryption. Since we use integrated windows logon (trusted_connection=true) it works
great. For the few servers that we had SQL Logons I had to manually type them in and save. But all in all, pretty painless.

Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database"

Hi, Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" ?
When I use Connect Object Explorer, the "Connect to Server" dialog box which pops up has only 4 selections in the Server Type Drop Down List. They are Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services & Integration Services. I have read
somewhere that there should be a compact database option. but I do not see it.
What I would like to do is use free form SQL Queries against the tables in "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" .
Once I have validated these queries, then I will use them in my Visual Studio 2012 C#, ASP.NET application. I created the Local Database using Visual Studio 2012 for use by my application.
Thank you for your help..

Hello,
With SSMS 2005 we have had the Option to work with SQL CE database files, but not with higher Version of SSMS.
You can use the free SQL CE Toolbax instead; see

Help-Is 9ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i

Hi
Is 9Ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i using developerSuite. I have been told that Oracle no longer markets Forms Server?
Ganesh.

No for client server deployment you don't need iAS.
On the second issue Forms server (the bit of forms used to web deploy) is no longer sold stand-alone - it is part of the iAS suite.

SQL Server Management Studio - Configuring the environment for first time use

Hi
I have recently switched my local 'My Documents' folder location to a network drive that I 'make available off line' to allow on-line/off-line work and synchronisation when I am working in and out of the office.
When I load my SQL Server Management Studio 2005 I frequently get 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is configuring the environment for first time use'.
Management Studio them loads and I can continue without problem.
I am guessing it is trying to make reference to some settings file. Any ideas? I wonder if I can change/move these settings elsewhere to a local drive?
Thanks

Lion and lion server add on for Mac Mini Server

I bought the Lion OS and Lion Server add on for my Mac Mini Server which runs Snow Leopard Server. When trying to install the Lion,
it requests the Add on to be available, however the add on requests the Lion to be already installed before it can be downlaoded through
App store. I made my purchases over the phone as neither was available in stores anymore. Egg and chiken dilema.
I do not have a physical DVD with the Snow Leopard (Client) to follow some of the instructions I have read in the communities. Any
workaround?

For the Mini you must have Lion client installed to purchase the Server. You can download Lion from the Mini while it's running Snow Leopard. Once Lion is installed you should then be able to purchase the Server.
Unlike past OS X Server releases the bulk of the software is within the Lion client. The Server is more or less a type of add-on to provide all the Server utilities and support. It's a relatively small download compared to the client.
