2012 R2 Need help understanding profiles/run as accounts
I'm new to SCOM, just installed 2012 R2, everything is set up. Basically only 2 servers.
I've installed management packs for base OS, IIS, AD, Lync 2013, SQL.
The first thing after that I set up a run as account for email notifications. In doing so I used an AD account but chose less secure.
I then created a notification channel, subscribers, and subscriptions. It worked and I was getting emails because I bound by Notification action account to the notification account profile. The problem in doing so is that now I got alerts on all
my DCs that the run as account does not exist on the target machine. So in choosing "less secure" or "all targeted objects" on the run as account, it is trying to use that account for my notifications instead of the default.
So I started messing around with things, such as the run as accounts used for the notification account profile but things are just not working as expected.
Also for some reason the 3 Microsoft Lync Server Profiles have the network server windows account bound to them which I can't remove.
So in the end here is what I did for email alerts. We have a seperate anonymous SMTP relay set up. I created a new run as account called "notification action account" and chose an newly created AD account which is just a domain
user. Inside of the distribution tab, I selected more secure but added the SCOM server itself because I don't have the agent installed on our open SMTP relay and it allows internal anonymous email. Under the Profiles, Notification Account I set the run
as account to the "Notification action account" I created, but still selected all targeted objects. That seems to be working and I'm not getting alerts from my DCs about the account doesn't exist on the target.
I'm just not understanding why if you don't specify more secure and put in specific servers, it trys to use that account to connect to everything instead of using the default.
Hi,
If you choose to distribute the Run as account to all the agents, all the workflows on the agents associates with this profile will use this account.

Need help understanding profiles and color management
I made the big leap from inexpensive inkjets to:
1 Epson 3800 Standard
2 Spyder3Studio
I have a Mac Pro Quad, Aperture, PS3, etc.
I have a steep learning curve ahead, here's what I've done:
1 Read a lot of books, watched tutorials, etc.
2 Calibrated the monitor
3 Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
What I've found:
1 The sample print produced by Spyder3Print, using the profile I created with color management turned off in the print dialog, looks very good.
2 When I get into Aperture, and apply the .icc profile I created in the proofing profile with onscreen proofing, the onscreen image does not change appreciably compared with the no proof setting. It gets slightly darker
3 When I select File>Print image, select the profile I created, turn off color management and look a the resulting preview image it looks much lighter and washed out than the onscreen image with onscreen proofing turned on.
4 When I print the image, it looks the same as was shown in the print preview...light and washed out, which is much different than what is shown in edit mode.
5 When I open PS3 with onscreen soft-proofing, the onscreen image is light and washed out...just like displayed in PS3 preview. If I re-edit the image to look OK onscreen, and print with the profile and color management turned off, the printed image looks OK.
So, why am I confused?
1 In the back of my simplistic and naive mind, I anticipated that in creating a custom printer profile I would only need to edit a photo once, so it looks good on the calibrated screen, and then a custom printer profile will handle the work to print a good looking photo. Different profiles do different translations for different printers/papers. However, judging by the PS work, it appears I need to re-edit a photo for each printer/paper I encounter...just doesn't seem right.
2 In Aperture, I'm confused by the onscreen proofing does not present the same image as what I see in the print preview. I'm selecting the same .icc profile in both locations.
I tried visiting with Spyder support, but am not able to explain myself well enough to help them understand what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated.Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
You have understand that maintaining the colour is done by morphing the colourants, and you have understood that matching the digital graphic display (which is emissive) to the print from the digital graphic printer (which is reflective) presupposes a studio lighting situation that simulates the conditions presupposed in the mathematical illuminant model for media independent matching. Basically, for a display-to-print match you need to calibrate and characterise the display to something like 5000-55000 kelvin. There are all sorts of arguments surrounding this, and you will find your way through them in time, but you now have the gist of the thing.
So far so good, but what of the problem posed by the digital graphic printer? If you are a professional photographer, you are dependent on your printer for contract proofing. Your prints you can pass to clients and to printers, but your display you cannot. So this is critical.
The ICC Specification was published at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf in May 1995 and ColorSync 2 Golden Master is on the WWDC CD for May 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 die reine Lehre said to render your colour patch chart in the raw condition of the colour device.
The problem with this is that in a separation the reflectance of the paper (which is how you get to see the colours of the colourants laid down on top of the paper) and the amount of colourant (solid and combinations of tints) gives you the gamut.
By this argument, you would want to render the colour patch chart with the most colourant, but what if the most colourant produces artifacts? A safer solution is to have primary ink limiting as part of the calibration process prior to rendering of the colour patch chart.
You can see the progression e.g. in the BEST RIP which since 2002 has been owned by EFI Electronics for Imaging. BEST started by allowing access to the raw colour device, with pooling problems and whatnot, but then introduced a primary ink limiting and linearisation.
The next thing you need to know is what colour test chart to send to the colour device, depending on whether the colour device is considered an RGB device or a CMYK device. By convention, if the device is not driven by a PostScript RIP it is considered an RGB device.
The colour patch chart is not tagged, meaning that it is deviceColor and neither CIEBased colour or ICCBased colour. You need to keep your colour patch chart deviceColor or you will have a colour characterisation of a colour managed conversion. Which is not what you want.
If the operating system is colour managed through and through, how do you render a colour test chart without automatically assigning a source ICC profile for the colourant model (Generic RGB Profile for three component, Generic CMYK Profile for four component)?
The convention is that no colour conversion occurs if the source ICC device profile and the destination ICC device profile are identical. So if you are targetting your inkjet in RGB mode, you open an RGB colourant patch chart, set the source ICC profile for the working space to the same as the destination ICC profile for the device, and render as deviceColor.
You then leave the rendered colourant test chart to dry for one hour. If you measure a colourant test chart every ten minutes through the first hour, you may find that the soluble inkjet inks in drying change colour. If you wait, you avoid this cause of error in your characterisation.
As you will mainly want to work with loose photographs, and not with photographs placed in pages, when you produce a contract proof using Absolute Colorimetric rendering from the ICC profile for the printing condition to the ICC profile for your studio printer, here's a tip.
Your eyes, the eyes of your client, and the eyes of the prepress production manager will see the white white of the surrounding unprinted margins of the paper, and will judge the printed area of the paper relative to that.
If, therefore, your untrimmed contract proof and the contract proof from Adobe InDesign or QuarkPress, or a EFI or other proofing RIP, are placed side by side in the viewing box your untrimmed contract proof will work as the visual reference for the media white.
The measured reference for the media white is in the ICC profile for the printing condition, to be precise in the WTPT White Point tag that you can see by doubleclicking the ICC profile in the Apple ColorSync Utility. This is the lightness and tint laid down on proof prints.
You, your client and your chosen printer will get on well if you remember to set up your studio lighting, and trim the blank borders of your proof prints. (Another tip: set your Finder to neutral gray and avoid a clutter of white windows, icons and so forth in the Finder when viewing.)
So far, so good. This leaves the nittygritty of specific ICC profiling packages and specific ICC-enabled applications. As for Aperture, do not apply a gamma correction to your colourant patch chart, or to colour managed printing.
As for Adobe applications, which you say you will be comparing with, you should probably be aware that Adobe InDesign CS3 has problems. When targetting an RGB printing device, the prints are not correctly colour managed, but basically bypass colour management.
There's been a discussion on the Apple ColorSync Users List and on Adobe's fora, see the two threads below.
Hope this helps,

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck. -

Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones
I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS. We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly. As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable. I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in. I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not. But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text. Is that how it's supposed to work? Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back. Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead? I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS. I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I. My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit. My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it. I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it. If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed. Some insight would be appreciated
I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options. -
Need help understanding syntax
Hi,
I need some help to understand the following syntax .
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean); What is this PPARAMImpl?
I know "am " is a variable . And with pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) we are trying to get the AM name for that page, then why do we need to add (PPARAMImpl) before pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) ?
For example in plsql , apps.testpkg.mainproc(param1,param2)
means
schema.packagename.procedurename(parameter1,parameter2).
So can you explain "PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean)" in that manner?
pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM))
What is this ?
What are the possible values for EVENT_PARAM ? And by the way , I need help on setting a default value for one of my search parameters in a search region .
Correct me If I am wrong, this is what I thought
1. EOImpl has setters and getters for that attribute. So call the setter method in controller and set the value , if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
or
2. get the view object name and then set the value for that . like viewobject.setattribute('att name',att value'),if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
Thanks
Sri.Hi,
No. These are not equal.
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) return AM of type OAApplicationModule.
It would be fine if your variable am, is of type OAApplicationModule:
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) // this would be fine.
But as you are using of type PPRAMImpl, you must have to type-cast that externally using:
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
If you are still not clear, then refer any java book or google for internal & external type-casting in java.

Need help - how to run this particular method in the main method?
Hi all,
I have a problem with methods that involves objects such as:
public static Animal get(String choice) { ... } How do we return the "Animal" type object? I understand codes that return an int or a String but when it comes to objects, I'm totally lost.
For example this code:
import java.util.Scanner;
interface Animal {
void soundOff();
class Elephant implements Animal {
public void soundOff() {
System.out.println("Trumpet");
class Lion implements Animal {
public void soundOff() {
System.out.println("Roar");
class TestAnimal {
public static void main(String[] args) {
TestAnimal ta = new TestAnimal();
ta.get(); // error
// doing Animal a = new Animal() is horrible... :(
public static Animal get(String choice) {
Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
choice = myScanner.nextLine();
if (choice.equalsIgnoreCase("meat eater")) {
return new Lion();
} else {
return new Elephant();
}Out of desperation, I tried "Animal a = new Animal() ", and it was disastrous because an interface cannot be instantiated. :-S And I have no idea what else to put in my main method to get the code running. Need some help please.
Thank you.Hi paulcw,
Thank you. I've modified my code but it still doesn't print "roar" or "trumpet". When it returns a Lion or an Elephant, wouldn't the soundOff() method get printed too?
refactored:
import java.util.Scanner;
interface Animal {
void soundOff();
class Elephant implements Animal {
public void soundOff() {
System.out.println("Trumpet");
class Lion implements Animal {
public void soundOff() {
System.out.println("Roar");
class TestAnimal {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal a = get();
public static Animal get() {
Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Meat eater or not?");
String choice = myScanner.nextLine();
if (choice.equalsIgnoreCase("meat eater")) {
return new Lion();
} else {
return new Elephant();
}The soundOff() method should override the soundOff(); method in the interface, right? So I'm thinking, it should print either "roar" or "trumpet" but it doesn't. hmm.. -
Need help understanding Time Capsule file structure and how to get it back
I have the original Time Capsule on which I backup both my Mac Pro and my wife’s Macbook. When Snow Leopard came out, I successfully used the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ feature on my Mac Pro so I know it has worked. However, my wife’s MacBook harddrive died the other day and I was trying to do the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ and all it would find was a backup from April (when I put her in a new larger drive). Time Machine would not find any backup files newer that April. She stated that she had seen the the Time Machine backup notices regularly and as recent as the day the haddrive died (Nov. 23) so I figured that I should have no problem. Here is what I have found in my trouble shooting and what leads to my questions below.
This is the file structure I found: (note that our ID’s are ‘Denise’ and ‘John’)
*Time Capsule* (the drive as listed in my Finder window sidebar under ‘shared’)
>Folder called ‘Time Capsule’ (when logged in as either ‘Denise’ or ‘John’)
>>Denise Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of Denise’s iBook (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘Denise’s iBook
>>>>>>Single folder with old April backup (not the right files)
>>John Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of John’s Mac Pro (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘John’s Mac Pro’
>>>>>>Folders containing all my backup files
>Folder Called ‘Denise’ (if logged as ‘Denise’)
>>Denise’s Sparsebundle (a disk image)
>>>Backup of Denise iBook (the mounted image. Name from old machine)
>>>>Backups.Backupdb
>>>>>Denise’s iBook (Contains the backup I need)
>Folder Called ‘John’ (if logged in as ‘John’)
>> (empty)
For some reason, my wife’s backup files are stored within a folder located at the top level of the Time Capsule drive called ‘Denise’, however, mine are within a folder called ‘Time Capsule’ which is at the same level as the ‘Denise’ folder.
For some reason, when trying to use Time Machine to recover, it bypasses the top level ‘Denise’ folder which contains the correct files and goes into the ‘Time Capsule’ folder and finds the outdated backup files.
I would assume that both my backup files and my wife’s should be at the same level of the Time Capsule.
I was eventually able to use Migration Assistant to recover the files after installing a fresh OS and mounting the correct Sparsebundle image.
So, my question, how do I get this fixed so that if I have to recover a drive with Time Capsule, it will find the correct files.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help.John Ormsby wrote:
What I was trying to determine is why different backups for one particular machine are located at different file structure levels on my Time Capsule and why the most resent one for that machine is at a different level that for my other machine. Also, what is the correct level that both machines backups should be at.
well John, first can you clarify if you are on 10.4.8 as your profile suggests ? if so, i'm wondering how you can use TM at all because TM was introduced with Leo. if you're not on 10.4.8, please update your profile. if you could, please also indicate details of your machine such as available RAM, processor, etc.
second, what OS is your wife's machine running ?
third, i frankly don't know too much about TM's file structure or if there indeed is such a thing as the correct one. however, i do know that it is best to leave TM to do its thing (as long as it's working). FWIW, though off-topic, you may want to have a look at this read for further information.
last but not least, i see TM backups to my TC only as a part of my backup strategy. the backbone of my strategy is to create bootable clone of my startup disk(s) using e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner on a regular basis. while TM is capable of doing a full system restore, i don't trust it as much as a working clone. i use TM to retrieve a file i accidentally trashed a week ago but you cannot boot from a TM backup if your startup disk goes belly up.
If I have missed this information in either the FAQs or the Troubleshooting article, I would greatly appreciate being pointed to it .
i expect you didn't miss anything and i'm sorry you didn't find any help there. perhaps if Pondini (author of the FAQ and troubleshooting user tips) reads this thread, you will get the necessary advice on the file structure and more besides.
good luck to you ! -
Need help understanding why "1 is always equal to 1" is necessary in my Advanced Action
I am using Captivate 7 and publishing as a SWF.
I have an interaction that works, but there's one script that I use (which I found in a tutorial) that I don't understand the purpose of.
The interaction is contained on a single slide where a user clicks two buttons in any order and a graphic appears after the second click. On each button I have a Conditional Advanced Action where I first check that it will always be true that "1 is equal to 1", then assign each variable with "1", then check that each variable was equal to 1 after which the graphic appears.
The part that confuses me is checking if "1 is always equal to 1." Why is this script necessary in this case? Is it necessary because I'm including a Standard Advanced Action (assigning variables to "1") within the Conditional Advanced Action? Or is related to the fact that I'm doing everything on one slide (not using an On Enter slide event executing a Conditional Advanced Action)?
Thanks.Perhaps it will help to think using different terms.
If you need a script that performs a check against some condition, you need a Conditional Action. Maybe you need to show an image if button 1 has been clicked. And if button 2 has been clicked, you need to show a different image.
Before checking to see which button has been pressed, you need to hide both images so that only the desired image is shown. So you need to perform the same action each time before checking some variable to take a specific action.
This is where the "If 1=1" would come from.
Each time the script is run, hide both images. Since the check to see if 1=1 will ALWAYS evaluate as true, the "ELSE" part will never be reached. So you would always perform the same actions just as a Standard Action would do.
Perhaps if you posted some screen captures of your scripts, we might better explain it.
Cheers... Rick -
Need help if you run Windows 7 and McAfee
As I posted to other thread, I was not able to do auto-updating of CS5 since CS5 was installed. The problem seems to be related to firewall settings.
I am running windows 7 and McAfee Security Center. I turned off Firwall from McAfee. But I am getting the same error.
As shown in the top figure, it show Firewall was turned off by McAfee (see red arrows).
When I opened windows firewall, it described that these settings are managed by McAfee (see below).
What I see is that Under domain Profile, windows firewall is off (red arrow). But Firewall in both private and public profiles are on (see blue arrows in the above figure).
What I want is to turn off McAfee firewall in order to perform CS5 autoupdating.
Could someone help me with my problem?
HummerWhat exactly is a firewall:
at its basic level, a firewall is a barrior that is designed to keep threats out.
Some firewalls do a better job then others but ultimately its the "people" behind the firewall that is responsable for security.
Many firewalls have both incoming and outgoing rules to help keep PC's safe.
McAfee intigrates into the operating system, thats why it changes the windows firewall rules and why you see the windows firewall is no longer manageable by normal means. it may even hook in a use portions of the windows firewall and expends windows built in security from that point.
Before you attempt to uninstall it, I highly recommend you put everything back to its normal running state, then after uninstalling from add remove programs also use their removal tool to insure all registry enteries are also removed. This "should" put everything back to factory default settings for windows firewall rules.

I am of the opinion that McAfee, in its quest to secure its "customers", customers PC's with the least amont of end user interaction, it became blind to the fact that sometimes you need to reset everything back to factory default and simply start over, It may even be there but its not easly found or wasn't last i used it. Even their virus scanner is difficult to disarm once activated. They hook into many aspects of the operating system in an effort to keep you safe weather you like it or not.
An old saying comes to mind, Freedom comes with a Price.
I'll not say McAfee software is bad, I think they lost touch with the end user is all, They are more interested in the dollar then the end user. The ISP's line their pockets and are their real customers, you didn't really think the software was free did you? What the big ISP's want in there for security is what they tend to put in there. Almost all ISP's in the states provide free McAfee or Nortons security with their service plans and every new PC has either one in there "free"
I would personally try to uninstall McAfee completly, if that fixes the issue you can always put it back if you choose or some other security suite.
