Ard task server, tasks sit idle

Hi guys,
I've seen quite a few unresolved tickets regarding this issue and wondering if anyone has found a fix?
We have 3x licenses of ARD and contain over 400-500 machines so using the same license is not an issue. We are obviously trying to deploy applications using the task server but only two are actually succeeding, these machines being on the same network range while the other 400+ are sitting idle...
Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

someone else having th same probem.
the task server and admim machine are all RDP3.3 and OSX 10.5.8.
Clients vary, form 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 all using ARD3.2+

ARD Task server email notification trouble shooting

I have set up my ARD Task Sever successfully. I am able to push out task from my machine to the task sever. I have set up the default mail script and was able to test it manually by running ./Notify and get an email. When I have a job set up to run I do not get a notification. I set up a simple task (Repair Permissions to test) and was unable to get ARD to send an email.
I took an additional step of changing the notification to changing the mail to go the mail server to where the task server is running. the address would read something like [email protected] Again I was able to test this manually and was able to get an email. Is there an additional file I need to edit or another setting to change to get that notification working?

Hi:
Try using formatDateTime() function if you are using BPEL process.
Try using HTML, it works.

Can't connect to ARD task server

I've got ARD 3.2 installed on my machine (Dual 2.3GHz G5, os 10.4.11) and am trying to setup my server as an ARD Task Server (Dual 2.3 GHz G5, OS 10.5.4)
Everything is setup, the correct ports are open, but when I try and authenticate into the task server (preferences > Task Server > Use remote Task Server), it seems to accept my credentials for a second, then switches the option in the preference back to "Use Task Server on this computer".
If the credentials were wrong, I would just get an "invalid password" error. But the creds are correct, the password dialog box closes and the preference automatically changes back.
Any ideas? I've tried completely reinstalling ARD 3.2 (latest version to date) on both machines, and in fact, I get the same error connecting to other test Task Servers at our office.
thanks!

That is correct. If you want to run a task server separate from your normal ARD administration system, you must purchase two copies of ARD. ARD will check for duplicate serial numbers and will fail to work properly unless each copy of the admin application has a unique number. "Unlimited" only applies to the number of client workstations you can have in the list of managed computers; it does not apply to how many systems on which you can install the adminstration application.
It will of course be up to you whether it's worth it to purchase a second copy to have a standalone task server. For some, it makes managing things much easier and so is worth the cost, but for others it's not.

ARD Task Server

I have a separate license for ARD that I utilize as a task service on an Xserve. Whenever I log out of the Xserve, the ARD task service stops running. The ARD manual hints that the task server will continue to run. An Apple SE stated that it should continue to run after I log out.
Although counterintuitive, should the ARD task service continue to run after I log out? If so, by what magic is this accomplished?

Well phooey. I'm not sure what's worse; finding that an issue can't be resolved or resolving an issue, but not knowing why.
Anywho, the task server is now running after user log out. The only change I made was to upgrade the ARD software to 3.3.1. Prior to this, I loaded, uninstalled and reloaded 2.2+.
This, of course, doesn't explain "why". It just resolves the problem. Bummer.
Thank you for your responses. I do now understand a bit more about the process at least.

ARD Task Lists - Multiple Users

I have been unable to find a way to transfer ARD Tasks in the left pane to new computers / new accounts. I am attempting to take all of my folders full of Unix scripts, Install configurations, and copy scripts and transfering them over.
I have attempted several methods found online including moving over plist files, /var/db information, and other settings but have had no luck.
My ultimate goal is to move the configuration from an existing server to a new one, and then have it so I can transfer it to other user accounts on the same system.
Thanks!

Hi,
1) Create a rule and assign it in the workflow
2) In the rule, you can write a code to pick multiple user in the Function module
check this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d053fe48-6513-2b10-a59f-871923ff99d8] to create and assign the rule. (in the function module you can write your logic to pick multiple approver)

Background task are idle

updated my FC X is AM and attempting to share/export (Pro Res) but cannot because background task are idle.
How do I un-idle the task?

Hi Marco,
check on the WLC if you enabled traffic stream metrics collection for your SSIDs.
It needs to be enabled before you can think of generating reports.
To troubleshoot WCS, the best is to check if it works on WLC first to isolate if it's WLC or WCS that is the problem. Try to check the TSM on the WLC first and if that works, then try your report on WCS.
Hope this helps.

Add Bulk Users to Project Server 2010 site using a Script

I have 100 users that I need to add to a Project Server 2010 site. Add these through server settings would take a week to do. Is there a way to add users in bulk like with a script or something that can pull from an CSV
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am not sure if I got your question?
If you want to add these users to a site of a specific project, just add them as team members to this project. This will provide read access to them. If you assign them to a task within this project, they will alos get write access in this site.
If you want to add this users as Project Server resources and users and just have a list of them, you can use copy/paste. Go to Resource Center and click on Open. Project client will start with checked out Enterprise Resources. Add columns Windows User Account,
Email Address, and all other fields you want to fill. Make sure that the columns and the sequence of columns does match the columns in your file. Use copy/paste to insert all users into Project. Save and Close. Use Option Bulk Edit, if you want to define
eg Timesheet Manager. As a last step go to Server Settings - Manage Groups and add them to the appropriate groups.
Does this answer your question?

X200 lockups after sitting idle

I have a x200 that lockups when sitting idle for a while. I have the computer not set to go to sleep only turn the monitor off when on AC power.
It is running Windows Vista Business.
Please help.

Possibly I've got the same problem on my X200. Here are the descriptions:
System config:
Thinkpad X200 (with 2G original DDR3, 5100agn, bluetooth, fingerprint reader, integrated camera. WITHOUT turbo memory.)
Windows XP SP3
With all drivers and necessary softwares downloaded and installed from official source (most of them using System Update).
Hibernation is on.
Screensaver is on (e.g., 5 minutes).
Password on resume from screensaver is on.
And the problem is like this: when I leave the machine idle for 5 minutes or more, then it enters screensaver. Then I come to the machine to enter, and the problem comes:
If it's the first time that I want to return from screensaver since system startup, the screen will show nothing but the system wallpaper and a mouse pointer. Yes, only wall paper, no logon window, no taskbar, even no task manager after Ctrl-Alt-Del. BUT, after 2 minutes or so, the logon window would appear. I can return to the desktop by either password or fingerprint.
However, if it's not the first time that I return to desktop from screensaver, such problem won't occur. I wonder what the problem is, and whether it's the same one that wreed encountered. I tried to disable and enable hibernation, disable or enable the fingerprint reader, but none worked. All the drivers and software are official...
PS, the machine comes with another problem: after hours of use, when I shutdown the machine, winlogon.exe would report an error, and then bluescreen and reboot. I'll try to catch the detailed information and post another post here.

After update 3.1 - 3G does not work after phone sits idle

Updated from 3.01 to 3.1 - went smoothly, no problems. Restored my latest backup without issue. All is good. A few minutes later I tried to make a call and it failed. I tried to access the web - failed. Rebooted phone comes up as expected. Made a call, access to web working. 10 minutes later tried to make another call - failed; access to web failed again too. Switched over to Edge, rebooted. Calls and web access work. Waited 10-15 minutes, tried again; Edge still working. Switched back to 3G, rebooted. Same issue - calls/web work initially but after a short time, all calls and web access fail. I went through the 3.1 restore process again -- started over like it was a new phone. Again, the update worked without any issues/errors. I was able to restore my backup and all was good. But, same 3G problems occurred. So just for fun, I ran the Iphone config utility and captured the console log during a phone reboot sequence. After the phone booted up calls and web access were working with 3G. Then, let the phone sit idle for a while and saw these event occur in the log; the first 5 entries were made when I successfully sent a text message. After that message was sent I let the phone sit for a while. The next couple of entries were interesting. After the 'deactivated PDP context' messages appeared I could no longer make calls or access the web with 3G. Anyone else see this?
I never ever had this problem with 3.01 software.

I thought I'd post you a quick response because you described exactly the issues I was having. After my phone was idle for a while, my iPhone would refuse to get data over 3G.
I've tested this thoroughly and I'm able to "trip up" the phone into a state where it can't download data from the 3G network. But turning airline mode on for about 30 seconds then off again resets forces a renegotiate with the cell tower/3g and everything seems to work again about a minute later.
Nothing untoward listed in the console at this point either - The PDP context that you mentioned that was deactivated was more than likely the Internet Tethering. (It's usually PDP context 1, by the looks of things).
I think I might switch off 3G and see if that helps until Apple fix this issue. It is related to the wifi issues that others have reported - As I've seen my iPhone unable to download information via 3G if wifi is turned on, but you don't connect to a wifi network. But I can't seem to reproduce this reliably.

Can i use same certificate on 2 different CAS Server across sites

Hi All
I have a question I have been playing with for a few days,
I have the following setup,
2 sites connected via a VPN and a DAG configured between sites.
Site 1-Head Office
2 exchange 2010 servers,
1 running CAS and Mailbox (this server is entry point to all clients for owa etc.)
1 running Hub, CAS, Mailbox. (this is the main server and a DAG Member)
We have a UNC certificate associated with all records pointing to remote access and its installed on both servers.
** Everything in this site works fine.
** The AD DNS server does not have a zone for the public domain with all the external records only the .local domain. Planning to change this soon.
Site 2.
1 exchange 2010 servers,
1 running Hub, CAS, Mailbox. (this is the main server for this site, a DAG Member and no entry point at this time but we intend to use it for redundancy)
** Currently all BD are on server in site 1.
** The AD DNS server does not have a zone for the public domain with all the external records only the .local domain. Planning to change this soon.
My questions are as follows:
1      on site 2’s the cas server can I use the same certificate I’m using onsite 1. in other words all clients currently use mail.domain.com which has an IP pointing to site 1, can I use that same certificate in site 2 and associate
it with the CAS server there? (in the event of a failover I just change the records IP)
2      All smtp traffic come through site 1, when I test moving active databases to site 2, all email stay in the ques of exchange server in site one, they don’t get delivered. (I have not set AD replication through smtp so don’t know
if this is a factor)
3      When I do set the active databases to site 2, webmail and remote services stop working, I get the infamous error when logging onto webmail, service unavailable because it’s been moved. I have read a lot about this being an internal
external url issue.
All these issues im starting to think they all interlinked, and would like some help.
Cheers

Answers to your questions:
Yes. Understand that until you swap your external DNS so it points to Site 2, the mail.domain.com won't be accessed, but it will be there for when you want it to be.
AD replication is not the issue, so don't try to set it to use SMTP. If you have hub servers in both sites, your inbound Internet email should be delivered from the Site 1 hubs to the Site 2 hubs. We may need more information before we can give
you a good answer for this question. However, you may check the following TechNet article (and its links) for assistance.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998825(v=exchg.141).aspx
Web access requires that the CAS you connect to be either externally accessible and in the same site as your mailbox server, or that the CAS in the inaccessible Windows site needs to be configured as internal only and the accessible CAS needs to be configured
to proxy connections. For this, make sure you have followed the directions in the following TechNet article.

FPGA compiler Server status says idle but Status says compiling VHDL

when i compile my FGPA vi file , after some time in the compile server window "Server status" shows "idle.." but the status box shows "Compiling VHDL".
It stays in this condition for a long time about 30 mins. Why is this happening? I am also attaching the screenshot of the compile server.
FPGA vi i am trying to compile is the Sine Generator.vi which was there in examples under FPGA Fundamanetals->Analysis and Controls.

I am seeign this behaviour only when i compile this fpga vi. I have compiled other fpga vi's without any problem.

SMS Agent Host Service requirement for Site Server or Site Systems

Is the SCCM Client a requirement on the SCCM 2012 Site Server or Site Systems or is it possible to disable SMS Agent Host Service or uninstall the client without affecting any of the Site roles? I have actually done that and everything
is working as expected but I wanted to make sure that none of the site roles are dependent on the client agent.

Hi,
Only need to install client when you want to manage the servers by Configuration Manager client.

Upgrade Content Server and Site Studio

Hello Everyone,
We are trying to upgrade both Content Server and Site Studio from 7.1 / 7.2.1 to
10gR3
1) Instead of updating existing instance we Installed new 10gR3 instance
Exported folder structure archive, layout files and data files from old instance
2) Imported into new 10gR3 instance.
3) Tried to upgrade sitestudio websites
4) Its created a project file but not adding any SiteStudio section properties
(ex. primaryURL, secondaryURL, IncludeSectionInNavigation etc.), if I open the site in
designer, it shows just blank site structure without any templates associated and all sections are disabled.
Any ideas on this??

Hi ,
If you are displaying the data from spaces only then all the operations like creating a web content , editing it etc can be done from Webcenter spaces itself .
Thanks

Won't print after sitting idle for a while

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I have to turn the printer off and back on after it sits idle for a while. The printer shows on line in the control panel until you try to print then it goes off line. Wireless network Windows 7.

Hello LARMC, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing idle issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
