4.0.0 temporary error returned by alias expansion (commadmin)?

I've installed java_es_05Q4_uwc-ga-solaris-sparc.zip (messaging, calendar, directory server). I'm running into the alias expansion error denoted in the subject.
The following forum link contains a suggestion from Jay to use commadmin to create the messaging users/accounts.
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=23167&messageID=56207
I can't seem to find a commadmin binary in my installation. Is this another package that I'd need to install? Could someone point me to it?
thx,
ZB

  • ME returned a temporary error

    I've been receiving the "ME returned a temporary error" message after I have been using my iPad for a few mins.
    What is causing this error and how can I fix it.
    Pierre

    For anyone still following this thread, I just spoke at length with a Telus tech who seems to know what he's taking about (unlike other techs who are merely script readers). The error that we are receiving happens when The iPad attempts to connect to the Internet. The micro-SIM sends a message to the Telus servers indicating that a connection is required for a particular iPad. The responding message is what we get. He said that we should ACCEPT the message and proceed normally. It does not adversely affect the performance of the iPad. Telus does not really support iPad functionality but merely provides the means necessary to connect to the Internet. E tech I spoke with did seem to think that the addition of voice and text to the micro-SIM may be a part of the problem but unfortunately, there is no way to remove these two functions. He also said that if asked, the text portion could be disabled but would not guarantee that the iPad would connect if done. I guess I'm chicken because I said, no, don't worry about it, I'll live with the displayed connection error. Besides, it's not like we turn our iPads on and off repeatedly, only when its necessary to clear the memory cache or when a RESTORE is required, or when some tech thinks it might be necessary when troubleshooting. Otherwise, we tend to just let the iPad go to "sleep".

  • And again "The error was: Unknown alias" on incoming emails

    Good day for all
    I have read all topics about this error, search Google, this forums.
    My environment:

    Exchange, MOSS and DC is a dedicated servers for each.
    For this moment, I have use only mail-enabled lists, and all was working excelent. But now I need use mail-enabled groups (distribution groups). First that I did, is enable mail for Owners group of some test site.
    Group is created in OU, and all members is in place. I have try add and delete users from that group in MOSS - all changes replicated to AD's group.
    Then I try to send mail to that group, in MOSS log I found this errors:

    Hi,
    You mentioned that Central Administration Application pool account is a member of Administrators group in a MOSS Server and has full control on OU, but I am not sure how is the content application pool configured.
    If the content application pool account was not the same with Central Administration Application pool account, please make sure:
    Grant content application pool account with Design permission to Distribution Groups list in Central Administration > Operations > Approve/reject distribution groups.
    Follow the step by step guidance to configure the incoming mail:
    Configure incoming e-mail settings (Office SharePoint Server) (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262947.aspx)
    After successful configured the DMS enabled incoming mail, you should see a request record when assigned a email address to a SharePoint group in Approve/reject distribution groups page and the group would be created automatically if the request was approved.
    Hope the information can be helpful.

  • Mail System Error - Returned Mail

    I have set up the Mail with my Pop accounts from the local cable company. I can send and receive all my mail through those email addresses.
    THE PROBLEM is that every mail recipient receives the above message when they send an email to me:
    Mail System Error - Returned Mail
    Reason: 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]
    (xxxxxxxxx = my account)
    I receive the email, but the sender is concerned that I don't.
    I DO NOT have a mac.com address, nor do I need or want one.
    Can I delete the mac.com address somehow? I did delete the mac.com from my email accounts, but it didn't solve the problem and any time I try to add an account the mac.com address is the default.
    All the people who send my family emails are beginning to get upset -- Please Help!

    Hello au:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    If I were you, I would look at the Mail preferences closely. I suspect (although I do not know, as I have never seen anything like you describe before) that there is a setting that is causing the problem.

    P.S. Not much help, but the problem is new to me.

  • Error in Webservice Call HTTP error (return code 404, message conn failed)

    Hi
    We wish to call  a standard EP7 webservice through ABAP.
    When we try to create consumer proxy , we get the following error.
    HTTP error (return code 404, message "conn failed")
    Message no. SPRX090
    ==> Display Error Document
    If you want to generate a proxy for an external WSDL document by specifying a URL, check that the proxy settings of the system are correct (transaction SICF - Client - Proxy Settings). If you want to generate a proxy for an XI Repository object, check the connection to the Enterprise Services Builder as follows:
    Check List for Setting Up a Connection to the Service Repository
    1. The address of the Enterprise Services Repository must be known in the SAP system
    Check with report SPROX_CHECK_IFR_ADDRESS
    The address is taken from the following parameters in the exchange profile ('Connections' section):
    com.sap.aii.connect.repository.name: Server (for example,pwdf0436)
    com.sap.aii.connect.repository.httpport: Port (for example, 1080)
    com.sap.aii.connect.repository.contextroot: Root (for example,rep)
    The logon data is also read from the exchange profile ('ApplicationSystem' section):
    com.sap.aii.applicationsystem.serviceuser.name: User
    com.sap.aii.applicationsystem.serviceuser.pwd: Password
    As an alternative to using the exchange profile, you can maintain the RFC destination SAP_PROXY_ESR. If this RFC destination is maintained it will be used by the proxy generation in place of data from the exchange profile to access the Service Repository. In this case, the Exchange Profile will even not be read.
    The RFC destination has to be set up using transaction SM59 and should look like this:
    RFC Destination: SAP_PROXY_ESR
    Connection Type: G (HTTP Connection to External Serv)
    Description1: ESR for Proxy Generation
    Target Host: esr_host
    Service No: 1080
    Path Prefix: rep
    Logon and Security:
    Basic Authentication: active
    User: esr_user
    Password: esr_password
    2. The HTTP Framework of the Web Application Server must function
    Check with report SPROX_CHECK_HTTP_COMMUNICATION
    If necessary, contact your system administrator. Please be aware of the fact, that the HTTP framework is depending on the application server. Thus the result of the report may differ for different application servers.
    3. Proxy generation must interpret the data of the Enterprise Services Repository correctly
    Check with report SPROX_CHECK_IFR_RESPONSE
    you can also login in dev and go to Xn se91
    enter msg id SPRX and msg no 090
    select the message and click on long text..
    you get the same message in a formatted manner..
    How to get rid of this ?

  • Email temporary error.

    I keep getting the message below, fair enough but I am waiting for an important email regarding the completion date for a house sale. I have contacted BT "Help" who's answer was it should be sorted by next week. Great the house sale could fall to bits by then.
    Temporary Error
    We’re sorry, but BT Yahoo Mail can't load due to a temporary error. You can try again shortly or visit our help pages for ways to troubleshoot the issue.
    Try again
    Visit Help for troubleshooting instructions
    Temporary error: 14

    But if it happens regularly it must be more than a random failure, unless the email system is falling to bits in which case it should be fixed.

  • Installation - RAWS installation - Error " Return Value Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) : 1603

    i'm install agent Backup Exec 2014. but Error Return Value Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.

    Hi Apisak,
    If you look on DVD under BE_DVD\BE\WINNT\Install\ you will see that there is a VCREDIST folder with the directories you describe above. This directory contains the latest runtimes required by our RAWS installer. It is the directory we are expecting to find
    when we run the install. If you run off of the DVD, we will validate the files are valid before executing the install. This is the recommended method for a clean install.
    However, if your goal is to install and have the patches applied during the initial install. If that is what you are attempting, you can drop in the Agents\RAWSx64\Updates or Agents\RAWS32\Updates folder into the RAWS folder on the DVD and it will accomplish
    the same thing. We do not test this way, so be wary of that method. It should work but I do have to give that disclaimer.
    Refer to:
    BE 2014 Remote Agent Install Failing
    In addition, for the RAWS issue, I also recommend you can connect Symantec for more effective support:

    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

    Can anybody please help?
    Thanks and regards,
    Vaibhav

    Hello Vaibhav,
    while using transaction LC10, the error 11 "tp error: Terminating. [nlsui0.c ...]" occurs. The user authorization with tp fails and the application server cannot connect to the liveCache.
    I assumed, that it's due to a library version mismatch, tp cannot use the liveCahe UNICODE libraries.
    Please check, that the tp call at the command line works properly. And a dbmcli call in the transaction SM49 with the tp options
    (dbmcli ::
    -d <LC-SID> -n <LC-servername> -tpp <profile> -tpi <system-SID>
    -tpc <connection - LCA/LDA> dbm_version)
    works also properly.
    I recommend you to update the liveCache client software on the Application server.
    If you've got access to OSS/Service Market Place, then please take a look at note
    649814 how to update the liveCache client software on the application server.
    < Please also review the SAP notes 847736 & 831108 > 
    Before the liveCache client version will be upgraded on the application
    server you can use the workaround by switching off the central authorization for the liveCache LCA/LDA connections:
    In transaction LC10, choose Integration and deactivate the option Central authorization, then save.
    If you are the official SAP customer, I recommend you to create the ticket to SAP on 'BC-DB-LVC' queue.
    Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

  • Yosemite Server: Apache shm errors with proxy_balancer | SASL errors using user alias

    Dear OSX Server Ninjas,
    I recently upgraded my 10.9.5 Mac mini running Server 3.2.2 to Yosemite + Server v4, directly to v4.0.3. The box serves the whole Mail/Cal/Contacts/VPN palette as well as some websites, Git repos and some custom software. See below for network setup.
    After battling the most blatant issues (some easy to fix but hard to find, others hard on both), I'm almost back to a working server setup … but some things keep bugging me even after days of log-reading and OD tricks. In the last days, I have read countless discussions here as well as on stackoverflow/serverfault/apple.stackexchange and blogs, so I'll try to be as thorough and precise as possible to show what I have tried so far – sorry in advance for the long post
    … and since you might not read to the bottom: Thanks in advance for any help, especially with the Apache problem!
    My setup
    OSX Server v4.0.3 running on Yosemite 10.10.1 ➞ both latest official releases
    host + DNS
    Hostname configured for public domain mydomain.net, web traffic on selected ports comes in through router NAT
    Server has a static IP on the local subnet 192.168.178.0/24
    Server running local DNS and performing lookups for all clients in the local subnet, forwarding to the router at 192.168.178.1
    Primary zone for mydomain.net with records (A, NS, MX) pointing to said static IP
    changeip -checkhostname is successful
    Public IP is currently configured at the domain registrar through his name servers
    SSL
    Trusted third-party certificate installed for host.mydomain.net (Common Name + SAN for two subdomains)
    Used to secure all services
    Qualys SSL Test Grade B (capped due to OSX's openssl 0.9.x not being capable of TLS1.2 and Intermediate CA SHA-1 )
    TLS working both inbound and outbound according to CheckTLS.com
    OpenDirectory
    Recreated after upgrade (probably not necessary, since issue persists), re-imported groups + users from WGM backup files
    Only the server itself is bound to the directory, other devices just access services through network accounts (CRAM-MD5, MD5-Digest)
    Problems
    Apache shm errors: Apache fails to create slot memory when proxy module is enabled
    As soon as I start a service which requires the Apache proxy_balancer module (e.g. Cal/Contacts, ProfileManager), this starts filling up my Apache's error log:
    [Mon Jan 12 01:41:17.979882 2015] [proxy_balancer:emerg] [pid 2949] (28)No space left on device: AH01179: balancer slotmem_create failed for p26d9e669--1011640492

    [Mon Jan 12 01:41:28.297127 2015] [slotmem_shm:error] [pid 3026] (28)No space left on device: AH02611: create: apr_shm_create(/private/var/run/slotmem-shm-p26d9e669--1001322955.shm) failed
    [Mon Jan 12 01:41:28.297347 2015] [proxy_balancer:emerg] [pid 3026] (28)No space left on device: AH01179: balancer slotmem_create failed for p26d9e669--1001322955
    [Mon Jan 12 01:41:28.297355 2015] [:emerg] [pid 3026] AH00020: Configuration Failed, exiting
    When I increase the Apache LogLevel to trace1, I get this as well:
    [Mon Jan 12 02:11:43.190303 2015] [slotmem_shm:debug] [pid 5501] mod_slotmem_shm.c(367): AH02602: create didn't find /private/var/run/slotmem-shm-p26d9e669-813569972.shm in global list
    This causes the Apache to crash constantly, which is … unnerving. After googling around for a while, I tried the following steps:
    Stop Services that use the Apache (Web, *DAV, ProfileManager)
    sudo apachectl stop
    Remove all orphan cache/slot files (.shm, ssl-cache, proxy.*) from /private/var/run
    Reboot the server
    Start up the Services again
    Curiously enough, this worked for a while! But I was getting several log messages about dropped proxy connections, and sometimes the ProfileManager page would time out. Then, the issue started to reappear and does not seem to be fixed again with the steps above. I looked through the Apache config files and config plists for the Services in question, as well as the default config files. The only thing I have so far is that as long as there are no active proxy connections, the Apache runs smoothly – but all goes awry when slotmem files are created (a lot of them). Sometimes, I am able to turn on the Calendar service, but switching on Contacts produces the error … one time, I even got Calendar + Contacts running, and all went well until I enabled Profile Manager.
    I found several error reports with similar or identical errors from other Apache 2.4.x users, but most of those were developer talk on mailing lists, or suggested steps that did not work for me (or were inapplicable on the OS X Server Apache environment).
    SASL errors using user alias for WebDAV-Digest authentication
    Short version: I am unable to authenticate through WebDAV-Digest with a user's alias (defined in Server Admin > Users > Context Menu > Advanced Options or WGM). Using the main short name of the same user works flawlessly. Password Server Error log just shows:
    AUTH2: {234023578237md5hash2384234, mainshortname} WEBDAV-DIGEST authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect).
    The password is 100% correct: When I set up a test CalDAV account and put in alias+PW, it did not work (OS X Dialog showed “could not be verified”, Server log as above). Leaving the password field filled and just switching the user to the main short name went through instantaneously, with the Server log showing
    AUTH2: {234023578237md5hash2384234, mainshortname} WEBDAV-DIGEST authentication succeeded.
    Notice the same MD5 hash and canonical short name, yet different results. I don't know if this is a new “feature”, a result of mail aliases being handled differently (at least I read that somewhere) …
    Additional Questions
    Should I configure the DNS for public use, instead of the Split-Brain configuration (local network gets local IP, outside traffic is directed by registrar NS)? I read several articles explaining that Split-Brain is common in large organizations, but might introduce weird networking issues. Entering the external IP as a Round Robin alternative for the internal does not seem sensible to me.
    I also have a question concerning LDAP log entries like this one below, but I'll put that in this already open discussion:
    => bdb_idl_delete_key: c_get failed: DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK: Locker killed to resolve a deadlock (-30994)

    Today the same error occurred on a customers server.
    We don't use Calendar or Contacts.
    We only have some websites configured and want use NetInstall for deployments.
    As soon as I disable the Profilemanager the httpd starts over and other websites and NetInstall via HTTP are working fine.
    When I reenable Profilemanager the httpd processes are gone and I see the same stuff in Apache's error log...

  • ZTI Error Unhanded error returned by LTISysprep: The system cannot find the file specified -2147024894 0x80070002

    Hi,
    I'm trying to capture an image of computer that was already imaged using MDT 2013. I tried to install the new Windows Updates and add some files to the original image but each time I try to recapture the image I get this error: "ZTI Error Unhanded error
    returned by LTISysprep: The system cannot find the file specified -2147024894 0x80070002"
    I checked the Deployment Share and I do have LTISysprep.wsf in there.

    Well, it only runs LTISysprep when you tell it you want to capture an image (via the wizard, or through the equivalent set of CustomSettings.ini parameters).
    The log you provided doesn't actually show it running LTISysprep.  In fact, it specifically shows that you specified not to capture an image:
    Property DoCapture is now = NO
    Maybe you specified to join a domain (which isn't good for capturing an image) and it skipped the wizard pane about that?

    I am creating a workflow using classes rather than BO's for the first time.  I want to use a temporary error and see that the suggested way to do this is to raise exception CX_BO_TEMPORARY.  I'm not having any luck getting this to work. 
    I have created a class with a method that does nothing but raise the exception with the simple syntax "RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE CX_BO_TEMPORARY.", this is the only line of code in the method.  I then created a task in my workflow to call this method and set it up to handle temporary errors on the Misc tab.
    The workflow goes into error rather than temporary error.  It has a message "An exception with the type CX_BO_TEMPORARY occurred, but was neither handled locally, no declar....". 
    I also tried adding CX_BO_TEMPORARY to the exception tab on the method itself and raising it using it using the same syntax.  I did not model this outcome in the workflow.  The workitem remains in "in process" status and does not go into temporary error.  I try running RSWWERRE 3 or 4 times and the workitem never goes into error status.
    Any suggestions on what I am missing here?

    Figured out what was happening here.  Simple problem, I accidentally missed activating one of the methods from the IF_WORKFLOW interface.  Short dumps were getting generated causing the workitem to stay "in process".

    Next I check Shadow Copies details from volume properties (right click on C or other drive then select properties then click on Shadow Copies Tab) and found it is showing the same error code..
    From this error it is clear that the issue is inside the registry hive and due to junk hive shadow copies services not able to working properly.
    For me the server have two disk we check disk signature at MBR and found the disk signature was.
    Signature disk 0 : 9351912b
    Signature disk 0 : FDFBE035
    But at registry we found lot of nonexistance signature. Which indicate lot of junk valu inside registry.
    Now how can we resolve this issue?
    It is very simple just delete the registry key “volume” (registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\STORAGE\Volume”) and reboot the server it will “Volume” registry hive automatically.
    Note:
     When you remove registry key it is showing error unable to delete, then please right click on it select permission then take ownership and assign full permission to your login account.
    Please be careful when you delete registry key because system can fully crashed if you delete or modify wrong registry key.
    Your can take a backup of the registry key by exporting.
