Add server ip as allowed to all computers firewalls

I need to allow a server to bypass all clients (win7) firewalls
I would need to create a gpo under the computer configuration >
Policies> windows Settings>
Security Settings>Windows Firewall with Advanced Security > global Settings >
Inbound Rules.
under the Remote scope I would add the server's ip address. 1.1.1.1
==============
this there a better/different way to do this? do I need to enable loopback ?
thank you

Hi Total,
You do not need to enable loopback processing. Additionally, firewall rules defined in group policy are by default treated as additive to the local firewall policy configuration so long as the rule GUIDs are different.
If you choose a predefined rule then the GUIDs will match in which case the configuration defined in domain-based group policy will win over local group policy or rules defined within the Windows Firewall mmc.
In short, what you're proposing is fine and if the computers are all domain joined the best way of natively doing this (i.e. deliberately excluding SCCM).
Cheers,

Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2) - all client computers offline

The server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2). I have had this problem ever since I first installed the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server in the summer of 2013 (before R2 was released). The Windows Server 2012 Essentials server shows offline
for all Devices under Dashboard. (Allow me to add that I just installed another site with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, and it was a breeze - all of the computers at the second install site are online.) I have one Windows 8.1 Pro client and the rest
are Windows 7 Pro clients. The problem occurs on ALL client computers.
I have removed computers from Devices in Dashboard on the server, rebooted the server, changed the client computer to a workgroup, rebooted the client computer, and reinstalled the connector software on the client computer. Same result. I
have tried this on a Windows 7 Pro client and a Windows 8.1 Pro client with the same results.
After running the connector on a client computer and waiting for the server to update its Devices status, if I look under Devices on the server Dashboard, the Windows 8.1 client computer will say online but within 24 hours it goes offline again. The
Windows 7 client computers never show online. Both computers stay offline - they NEVER show an online status (referring to the status under Devices in Dashboard).
I should make it clear that the clients can access the server shares with no problem. File synchronization works great. The clients can ping the server and the server can ping the clients. But client backups on the server fail.
One of the most troublesome things about this problem is that it prevents the client computers from being accessed remotely using the website setup by Anywhere Access. I can login to get remote access to the shared files on the server, but
the only computer that says "online" is the server. All of the other computers are "offline".
The server and clients are only using Windows firewall. The clients all use Microsoft Security Essentials for their anti-virus.
I used a troubleshooting tool that tells me that there are problems with port 6602 on the server, but the clients are all fine with port 6602. I know port 6602 is important for using Anywhere Access but I am still trying to find out more details on that.
I have checked all of the firewall settings related to port 6602 on the server, and the firewall settings look like the standard Windows settings for this port. I used netstat to find the PID associated with the port, and I looked up the PID to find the service.
That all looked standard, too.
I have been working on this problem since the summer of 2013!! Does anyone have ANY suggestions?!!
HELP!

Hi,
Just addition, please check if all necessary Windows updates are installed on those
“Offline” client computer.
When connect client computers to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server by using the Connector software, there
will be LAUNCHPAD on the client computer. Was this LAUNCHPAD grayed out? Please check if can access Shared Folders via this LAUNCHPAD. Meanwhile, please ping the Windows Server 2012 Essentials via IP address and server name when client computers show as
Offline. Any find?
Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials
In addition, please follow the path on Server and client computer:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs. Did you check any relevant Server-side logs and
Client-side Logs if find more clues?
Windows
Server Essentials 2012/2012 R2 Log Files
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.

HT2495 I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences.

I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, which is connecte to the network, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences. I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?
Thanks,

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

HT1420 My old computer crashed so I bought this new one. I can't get my prevouis purchases and my new purchases will not let me add to my IPODs. I deauthorized all computers and just authourzed ths one. my new one. How do I get my music back and how do I

My old computer crashed andI bought a new one. When I went to Itunes I deauthorized all computers and then authorized my new one but I can not get my prevous purchases and I can not add my new purchases to my IPods with out it deleting all the music. How can I transfer everything that was on the old computer to this new one?

Whether you can redownload previous purchases depends upon the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all countries), and whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items) - what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or you should be able to copy purchases back from your iPod via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show).
If you have music from other sources on your iPod (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Or do you have a copy of them anywhere else e.g. on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy them onto your new computer from ?

A few years ago I bought music from Itunes. Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer. Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it. How can I download all the music I have purchased from

Might have luck with that here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

URGENT!!!Getting the Ip adds of all computers connected to my computer

I am developing a small project to track all the active connections with my computer (win 98 OS). i would like to get help on how to keep track of all computers accesing my system and getting thier ip adds..plz help Urgent. mail to [email protected]

computers accesing my system That requires using the windows api and JNI. If you do not have the MS Developement Library CD you can access the content via the MS web site.
The sun site has info on JNI.

How do I download my previously purchased songs (on a different computer) on a PC running XP? I have followed the instructions but none of it allows me to download my songs. I deauthorized all computers and authorized this one only but it didn't help.

I had to change computers and cannot access my old drive. iTunes shows me the list of songs but I cannot get most to play. Instead I get a message saying "cannot locate"
I have tried following the support tutorials but it still does not allow me to download my previous purchases.
I tried de-authorizing all computers and then re-authorizing this on but it still doesn't allow me to access most of my songs.

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I'm a pc tech, I go through computers like water buying and selling. Apple says I can only "deauthorize all computers" once a year. Over time, I've authorized the 5 that Apple allows, now I can't even authorize the one I'm currently using. WTH DO I DO????

I've had constant problems with syncing, I don't understand why Apple can't just make a simple interface where I can sync what's on my iPhone to a new computer, thereby creating a "library" of what I have on my phone already. Obviously, what I have on my phone is what the heck I want on my phone. I'm a pc tech, I go through several computers a year because I buy and sell and repair them. Apple won't let me "deauthorize" computers until NOVEMBER, and it won't let me "Authorize" the desktop I just built for myself. The new iPhone OS is about to debut, and I can't even sync this phone to my new computer or new itunes. THis is ridiculously complicated and frustrating as ****. If I didn't like the iPhone so much, I'd never bother with all this hassle. And Apple wonders why suddenly about 70% of the market now belongs to ANDROID users. What do I have to do, Call customer support to get my account straight???? TOTALLY disgusted with this whole thing.

iPhones are not, nor have they every been storage devices. They are merely mirrors of the content in the users iTunes library. As such, syncing is one way, computer to iDevice.

Learn to deauthorize them before taking them out of service. Sorry, but the scenario describe above is not "normal" and I cannot imagine any user buying a used computer from a so-called tech that he built for himself. If building computers for customers, build them for the customer and keep your data off of them.

Again, had the previous computers been de-authorized this would be a none issue. A call to iTunes Customer Support may provide a way around the one year limit on deauthorizing all computers.
dustyrhodesnola wrote:

No, it's not.
dustyrhodesnola wrote:

In that case, READ the User's Guide and educate yourself on how to use the device as designed. Or find a competent tech to explain it in a way that you can understand it.

Authorization problem: All computers deauthorized but can't add new compute

I just bought a new macbook pro and reached my max of 5 computers in my itunes account. I went ahead and deauthorized all computers in my itunes account to start fresh but I'm still unable to sync my iphone. The first message I get when I try is "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the Iphone...Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from itunes store?" When I click "authorize" and then sign into my itunes account, I get a new warning saying, "You cannot authorize more than 5 computers..." Any suggestions?

Is it possible that you have purchases under more than one account? Also...if you haven't, you might try restarting the computer.

How can I get the host adresses of all computers in a local network

I want to learn that how can I do this with java?
I have a solution as iterating and checking with InetAdress.getHost("iteratedhost"), if no exception such host is reachable.
But I search for better solutions

MulticastSocket is a good option as I shortly
evaluated.
ThanksThis does not allow you to find all the IP address of
all computers on a network. It will enable you to
send information to any computer that is a member of
a particular IP Multicast Group.He doesn't seem to really need to know all the IP addresses. He just seems to want to "find" a server. Looks like MulticastSocket is kinda for that purpose, broadcasting a message out for someone to respond to. That response could be: "I'm the server you want - my IP address is x.y.z.a". Then he would use a normal Socket to bind to that guy. Maybe it's a good solution, maybe not. Just giving him a possible route. MulticastSocket must be good for something.

Unable to 'Add Server' in Sun's DeployTool Utility (deploying application)

Hi Everyone,
I tried to search for this but couldn't find an instance.
I am using 'Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8'. The server is running fine (at 8080) with the admin console (at 4848) responding perfectly while contacted with a browser.
The problem started when I tried to deploy a J2EE web application (.ear file) containing some EJB components. I finished with all the development steps perfectly (creating .ear file, coding EJB and related interfaces, packaging the beans with their references registered etc.). However when trying to deploy the application in the EJB container (at localhost:4848), I need to Add Server in the deploytool.
When I select File-AddServer, it allows me to add hostName and port#. But when try to click on the name, it asks me for connection string (UserName, Password). I used the same values as I am using with the browser interface, but it is not accepting. Giving the error, `Check if the server is running or Are you using the correct username and password.`.
I tried many times, but it seems the deploytool is not picking the server at all.
Any help...

View all computers on network?

Does anyone know of an application to view all computers on a network?
Thanks,
Kristin.

OS X-only network. I'm just looking for a way to
identify IP addresses being used on our network for
troubleshooting.
Part of the answer depends on the size and topology of your network.
If I recall correctly, appletalk is non-routable, so you will not be able to see beyond your local subnet.
If it is allowed at your site, to see outside your subnet, and if they are so configured, you may be able to telnet into your routers/switches for realtime data.
If you are using DHCP, the easiest way may be to monitor the DHCP server - it should be able to tell you what IPs it has used/are available, and to what machine each IP is assigned.
Fixed IP:
My enterprise (windows) WAN uses arcane naming conventions for the CPUs (meaning we can't determine the user by looking at the machine name) - so we use an intranet web based database with CPU name, IP, MAC address, user ID (amongst other things).
We have at least 2 administrators per subnet; each maintains a private spreadsheet of assigned/free IPs.
Of course, databases/lists are only as good as the input data
ping and tracert also have their uses in troubleshooting, and are part of Network Utility.

Thunderbird receives duplicate messages on all computers

Sometimes only a few messages are duplicated, sometimes all the messages are duplicated a few minutes after downloading - as in when I first start up Thunderbird. I use the "delete duplicate messages" add-on. This problem was on my Windows XP machine, and my Laptop. I replaced the Windows XP machine with two new computers. The problem is on all computers and has been happening for perhaps a year on the XP computer and laptop - the new computers are 1 month old. I use Windows Live as a server - the same account. I check the account on line, and remove all files. I have set sent files to save on the server. I have set archives, templates and drafts to location other in Thunderbird. I have unchecked the save files box in Thunderbird. I have deleted the popstate.dat file, to no avail. Any suggestions?

Go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive From and select only the phone number on each phone.
Do this on each phone having problems.

Delete E-Mail Accounts Without Removing Them from All Computers

I lost a hard drive on my MacBook Pro and had to re-insall Yosemite and all of my apps and data. I started setting up my e-mail using Apple Mail on my laptop, adding accounts to it. As I added accounts, apparently iCloud decided to add them to my Apple Mail on my work computer, an iMac running Yosemite. I do share my iCloud account between the two machines, but in the past, I didn't share e-mail accounts, except for my .me account and my work e-mail account. Now, I have all of my personal e-mail accounts on my iMac, which I do not want.
When I go to delete an account in Mail, it shoots me over to the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences. If I start to delete the account, I get the following message:
"Do you want to remove the Mail account “[email protected]” from all your computers using iCloud Keychain or turn it off on only this Mac?
Removing from all computers using iCloud Keychain will remove it from this Mac and “Name of My MacBook Pro”."
I want to remove the account from my work computer, but I do NOT want it deleted from my MacBook Pro.
How do I get around this? I'm assuming something is set up in iCloud to cause this and I want it stopped.

Okay then, you need to make sure that your phone isn't able to delete your emails from the server by accessing your email account settings and looking for the correct setting. As I don't have a CenturyLink email account I'm unable to point you to the correct setting I'm afraid. You might be able to change your email account to an IMAP account which might be a better option for you.
In the meantime, you can still read your emails on the phone and delete them later using your PC which is how I manage one of my email accounts (POP3). My other IMAP accounts always keep a copy of my mail on the server.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
