3.8.0 Master Server file corruption

We had two of three drives fail on the master server and it resulted in file corruption and is unrecoverable. We have a slave server with users who haven't been able to login because they rely on the master to redirect the client. I've had to rebuild a replacement master server from scratch using the same name, IP, settings, etc. Naturally, the replacement master is unaware of the old slave. Can I re-run simias config on the slave to make the replacement master aware without impact to the data & accounts already on the slave?
Thanks,
fdiaz

No, you cannot do this.

Indesign CS3 & 10.6.2 server: file corruption

Hi All,
I'm having problems with one of our customer's setup. They're experiencing some sort of file corruption on Indesign CS3 files. These files are worked on by students in classrooms. At random, files won't open anymore in Indesign CS3 (or in CS4),so they need to start all over again. At first, file corruption occured seldom, but in the last few days I get too many reports. So I definately think something is at hand here.
The students log in to their network home folders. Client and server(s) are mac os x 10.6.2.
Clients / servers are fresh installed last x-mas. 2 fileservers (1 classroom, 1 homedirectory), 1 dedicated od server, 700 students, 45 classes. Both fileservers are new iron.
Before this, I had the same setup in 10.4.11, and this worked flawlessly for almost two years. So I know I can work with this setup over a network.
Before I start suspecting (and swapping) hardware, does anyone have pointers where to look or tests I could do?
Much appreciated.
Edgar

Well, going back to 10.4 is not an option. The previous servers (PPC G5 xserves) running the 10.4 setup have been sold. Current hardware was delivered with only 10.6 software so that rules out switching back to 10.5 as well.
You mention ACL's. I could dive into that. Since 10.5 Apple introduced default ACL's for the spotlight indexing process. The share is rather simple, it uses mainly posix permissions because it contains the homedirectories. In that perspective, the only change (besides a new afp stack) is the spotlight ACL. I could remove it, spotlight isn't running on that share.
I don't think I can switch to SMB for the user homedir stuff. If it was a normal data share it wouldn't be a problem.
Seems I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place..

can this happened due to data base or log file corruption, if so how can i check on that to verify the issue
Its not necessary if the issue is with network it would happen every day IMO it basically happens when load on network is high and you transfer log file which is big in size.
As per message database engine was not able to restore log backup and said that you must rebuild log because it did not find out log to be consistent. From here it seems log corruption.
Is it the same log file you restored ? if that is the case since log file was corrupt it would ofcourse give error on wehatever server you restore.
Can you try creating logshipping on new server by taking fresh full and log backup and see if you get issue there as well. I would also say you to raise case with Microsoft and let them tell what is root cause to this problem

File Corruption During Sync Windows 8.1

Hi
I have recently introduced some Windows 8.1 systems into our environment, a Sony laptop and a non branded custom build, both systems are running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Our environment is as follows:
Windows Server 2008 domain
PPTP VPN for laptop users using a Watchguard X515.
Netgear ReadyNAS 2100 for Network Folders.
Folder redirection in place for Documents and Desktop.
Offline files in use. Users have the ability to make shared network files available offline if required.
The first device we had with 8.1 Pro was a Sony laptop for our Marketing Director. He has manually made a few shared network folders available offline for when he is out of the office and unable to connect to the VPN.
We first noticed an issue a few weeks ago when he came to me telling me that one of his documents were corrupt. The file was one of the ones he has made available offline. When he got into the office he ran a manual sync, to put the updates onto
our shared drive. When he next came to open it, the file was corrupt with the following message:
'Excel cannot open the file 'XXXX XXXX.xlsx' because the file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'.
I ran the file through Excel's file repair, which couldn't fix the problem and I tried a few software packages from the internet which said the file was unrecoverable, to no avail. We tried to recreate the issue but couldn't so we put it down to a one
off. A few days later, it happened again under the same circumstances.
I put it down to something happening while the laptop was offline, however whilst researching this, the same problem happened on a Windows 8.1 Pro Desktop. This system never leaves the office, which led to some confusion.
Everywhere I look points to ransomware, however I have run full scans with Sophos and Malwarebytes, and both come back clean, and the issue is only occurring on 8.1 Pro systems, 7 Pro and 8 Pro systems are fine.
The user with the 8.1 Pro desktop created a test spreadsheet for me, and this morning we managed to recreate the problem. When running a manual sync, the Offline Files comes back with an error, stating that the network copy has been deleted, would you
like to copy the local copy or delete it? When we copy the local copy to the network, and then try to open it, we get the previous error about file corruption.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I will have to roll the systems back to Windows 7 if I cant get it resolved, which would be a shame as the laptop is has a flip screen to turn it into a tablet.
Cheers
Jim

Changing deployment ID when changing to master license file

We are using HFM 9.2.0 and am having license server problems due to duplicate users in the database. Can anybody tell me what I would need to do to repleace our existing license file with the master license file? I know the Deployment ID will need to be changed but I can't find out where in the system this id will need to be changed.
Any help is appreciated.

Com.sap.km.cm.docs file corruption error

Problem Description
Within the Portal there are several html files served up to a user through the KM repository. These html files contain links that open up 'pdf' files stored within the KM repository. These links are served to the user via the 'com.sap.cm.km.docs' par file. There seems to be some problem with this par file which streams a file across to an end-users browser from the KM repository.
For some users, when they click on a link to a pdf file they get a 'File corrupted' message on their browser's end. They always get this error no matter how many times they open it up. Other users on other desktops can click on the link and receive the file without any error. Also the same user can open up links to other pdf files without a problem.
Has anybody faced this problem. This is a very sproadic incidence that happens. When we do a binary comparison of the file sent by com.sap.km.cm.docs par file there is a binary difference however the size are same.
Please let me know if you know what the problem could be or have come across the same.

Hello! Ankur,
We had the same problem and we successfully resolved it. The problem resides in PDF readers, please fallow the below steps to solve it.
1) Open Adobe Acrobat reader.
2) Go to Edit -> Preferences option as shown in the screenshot below.
3) On the Preferences window that opens, select Internet from the various options present on the left side.
4) On the right hand side options, select the Display PDF in browser option.
5) Uncheck Allow Fast Web view.
This will really helps in opening PDF documents from KM.
Please award point if this solution helps you.
Thanks!

Airport 802.11n Disk - File Corruption!

I'm seeing occasional file corruption when using Apple Disk. After copying files to an Apple Disk using a Mac mini via Ethernet, the files are not the same.
myvideo.avi /Volumes/Adonais/Documentary/myvideo.avi differ: char 34439169, line 112648
Copying the file again usually results in a successful copy. Copying to a Samba share on a Linux server is 100% reliable, suggesting it's not a network issue.
I've tried two different USB enclosures with the same results. Both enclosures were problem free when directly connected to the Mac mini. The enclosure is connected to the base station with a Belkin hub.
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I've given up with AirDisk. The file corruption was too serious to ignore. I've plugged the HFS+ disks into the Linux server, mounted them (Linux hfsplus filesystem driver) and shared them using Netatalk. It's not quite as elegant but it's much more reliable.

HELP: Flash Drive accepts files when I run them files corrupted

So I have my flash drive partitioned in the Master Boot Record because in all other forms it will not appear on my computer. However, when it is partitioned like this, it will appear to accept files when I transfer them, but when I run them I receive a files corrupted message or error-43.
I understand the Master Boot record is intended for windows, but when I partition the drive in GPT or Apple Partition Map the drive is inaccessible on my computer completely. I do not care about being able to transfer files to a PC, I just want to use my flash drive back-up and save files too. If anyone knows how I could do this I would really appreciate it.
I searched the forums and could not find anything that has worked for me so if someone knows where it is I would appreciate a link, or if you know how to do it, I would appreciate the advice!
Thanks

I know my flash drive worked on a mac because it worked months ago, it just will not now for some reason.
Nearly everything that stops working used to work at some point. If you cannot format the drive on either a Mac (why not go back to that Mac it worked on "months ago?") or a PC, then for all practical purposes it's dead. Return if under warranty, or get a new one.

E71 sis files installation error msg "file corrupt...

I have an e71 purchased 2 months ago which was working fine until i did tried to install nokia maps updater. After that whichever sis file i try to install i get an error 'file corrupted'. How to rectify

But for doing a hard reset you should do this-
Before perfoming this please take a backup of your data.
Factory defaults-
Type *#7780# on your standby screen.
This will reset all your setting to default factory settings. User data wont be affected.
Soft reset-
Type *#7370#
This will reset the phone as well delete user data. Use when want to format the phone.
If none of these worked then you might want to do a hard reset.
For this you have to-
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.( Just in case of N78 it will be the multimedia key the small silver key on right side & for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. For Nokia N97 is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE. )
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone.
4. Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

Firmware File Corrupt

Hello,
Each time after dowloading, updating, backing up all of the sudden the same error came up for both my iPhone and hubby's iPod Touch:
Firmware File Corrupt
Unconnect, reconnect, and try again later
Anyone know if this is due to way too much traffic on iTunes or did something go wrong in download? Thinking that was possible, I attempted to download again and it of course told me that I had "already purchased and dowloaded the update would I like to download again for free?" I tried that too, same error as stated above!!!!!
Has anyone else seen this error message?
Thanks!

excellent news. glad you're up and running again.
apologies for the nosy question, but what make and model of firewall was blocking the software server for you? (i'm trying to get a heads-up on possible culprits with this, apart from CyberSitter.)

Connections refused after editing master.cf file

Hi:
I just got done editing (successfully, I thought) the master.cf file using TextEdit in order to add Port 587 to the list of smtp ports available for users to send.
I tried both ways suggested by various posters, including uncommenting the submission line and adding a new line with 587 as the service.
No luck. Great....
I returned a copy of the original master.cf file to the /etc/postfix folder (and set the permissions to allow the owner system to read and write, group wheel to read only and others to read only) and restarted, now no user can get or send mail. All connections are refused, both via Mail.app and telnet x.x.x.x 25 (or 587, or...).
The firewall is fine and not the issue. The failure occurs even if the firewall is down.
What am I missing?
How can I edit the file properly. I simply deleted one character at the start of a line and saved as plain text.
Do I just have to archive and install the OS X Server software? And if so, will I lose what's in the users' mailboxes?
Need lotsa help..and fast.
Thanks,
mm

And now it works, 20 minutes later. Suddenly. For no apparent reason. Who knows why. I left the mail service off for a few minutes, started up, and off we go, using the master.cf file with the submission line uncommented.
So now mail goes out over either ports 25 or 587. Hooray.
Do I score points?

Azure and Unity Master Server What Service Should I Use?

Hi all!
This is a noob question. I never buy cloud service before. I want to know, if I want to host my own Unity Master Server (an exe file as server) what service should I use? (Virtual Server? Mobile Services? Cloud Services?)
Really glad if someone can give a little explanation what they differ from each other in the simplest and practical way.
Thank you before.

Hi Sir,
Thanks for your posting!
Form your description, Would you want to deploy your exe file on Azure call it as a service on client? In your scenarios, I think VM and cloud service could meet your requirement.
Please see this code sample about host exe file on azure cloud service :

Files corrupting when sending email attachments from Mail & Thunderbird

Hi All
I'm hoping that someone will be able to help here as this problem is driving me crazy!
Most if not all of my email attachments are corrupting when sending from Apple Mail and Thunderbird. I'm also having issues with publishing files via FTP from Rapidweaver 5! I have spoken to BT about the issue but they have tested the line and say everything is OK.
The strange thing is, it's happening on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my Mac Pro (Lion). The problem's also happen when I'm using a friends high speed internet connection so that only leaves the server. I'm really out of my depth with the server side of things though. I did have a reply from Servage (my hosting company) who said I may have been the subject of a hack and an upload script!! Not sure what this means or how to check if this is the case. One question though, would this corrupt email attachments as well as uploading to the server?
Many thanks
Mark

Further to the above: I have now found that the same corruption happens when I email attachments and FTP from my PC laptop, so this rules out a computer issue. I have also swapped wireless routers and exactly the same problem. As mentioned above, I don't get the corruption when using another internet connection.
Also, I have an iPhone which I've restored to factory default settings and when I take a photo with the phone and email it (using my home wireless network), the file corrupts, everytime.
Using services such as YouSendIt and WeTransfer, gives the same problems!
I'm desperate for help on this one and I'd even pay someone to resolve it!

NIS: Initializing the master server

1. cp /etc/nsswitch.nis /etc/nsswitch.conf
2. domainname kingfisher.com
3. domainname > /etc/defaultdomain
4. /usr/sbin/ypinit -m
then I got the following error message:

Please what does this message mean and how can I resolve it?
