Are Secondary AD Site links actually required?

Consider this: You have three AD sites; A, B, and C.
All three have independent network connections to each other, and all three have multiple domain controllers.
Connectivity and reliability at Site B is best, so you decide you use that as the hub of your replication topology. You configure an A-B site link, and a B-C site link.
Question: Do you actually need an A-C site link in case connectivity to B goes down? Or will the KCC attempt to make that connection on its own, based on the existing links?

No A-C site link needed if you have not disabled "Bridge all site links" (BASL). By default, BASL is enabled.
See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756899(v=WS.10).aspx , Site link transitivity:
"By default all site links are transitive, or "bridged." When site links are bridged and the schedules overlap, the KCC creates replication connections that determine domain controller replication partners between sites, where the sites are
not directly connected by site links but are connected transitively through a set of common sites."

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken?

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken? For example, try searching for SocketChannel and then clicking on any of the returned links, in particular click on www.oracle.com/technetwork/servers-storage/ts-4222-159193.pdf.
This is the second time I have tried to search for Java information and both times found broken links.
Does anyone know where I can find more information on using a SocketChannel?

On the other hand in might just be that they don't much about providing support that doesn't lead to revenue. Thus support contracts have a support channel while public links get little support.

My Site Links Not Working When Using Alternate Access Mapping

I have a SharePoint Site Collection under my main
Web Application: mywebapp:80.
I had to extend this to an Intranet zone
Web Application: mywebapp:101.
I am able to open my Site Collection from either address. The authentication protocols for both are the same.
When provisioning the User Profile Service and configuring
My Site, the
My Site Host Location must be supplied, in this case: http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite
I housed my My Site Host under the same Web Application as my
Site Collection.
When accessing My Site for any given user from mywebapp:80, all the links of user photos point to that same
Web Application, which is expected.
i.e. When on http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person1 , all the links of photos of other users are http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person2,
etc.
When accessing My Site for any given user from my extension, mywebapp:101, all the links of user photos still point to the old address.
i.e. When on http://mywebapp:101/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person1 , all the links of photos of other users are still on http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person2,
etc.
So I figured that the My Site Host configuration under the
User Profile Service will just literally follow the initial URL specified. That said, I ask:
1.) Is there no way that the My Site links will be able to adjust depending on the URL I am accessing it from?
2.) What are possible implementation alternatives for cases like this when I need to use
My Site under 1
Web Application and have to make it available on
multiple host names?

Hi Noel,
perhaps this thread is similar with your question:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/d3010532-ae20-4eda-8f58-359f77d17e1e/user-profile-pictures-pointing-to-old-mysitehost?forum=sharepointadminprevious
any way, for your 2 questions,
perhaps you can give us more details about the scenario?
as i know,
mysite able to adjust, but you may need to configure the the host of the mysite, for example:
1. to the User Profile Service Application (UPA) and changed the MySite URL, few sites show the new URL and few show the old one.
2. to Central Admin and found there may 2-UPAs created.
3. changed the MySite settings on both the UPAs, created Managed Paths wherever necessary and then changed associations of all web applications to one of the main UPA
for configuring the multiple host, you may check with your IIS, and add the bindings,

Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

Hi
Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
Any further information required?
M. Miller

Thanks for your quick reply.
We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
Have you heard anything similar?

Active Directory Logon / Site Link Bridge Issue

Dear NC,
i have an issue with users in different Locations, to explain easyest here is a little network diagram:
So, as one can see, i have 4 Locations, one is the Headquarter.
The Target Goal is: Users in Location C must Logon with Domaincredentials from Sub.domain.tld from Location A.
Location HQ, A and B are fully routed, Location C has only a route to Location B.
Every Location has at least one writable DC with GC ans DNS Server installed.
I have the following site links:
HQ<>A
HQ<>B
A<>B
B<>C
and also a Site Link Bridge with "A<>B" and "B<>C".
Unfortunatly Users cannot logon in Location C with sub.domain.tld Domaincredentials from Location A.
Need a bit help, thx :-)
-Bernd

Hi Bernd,
I am sorry that I am a little confused here, would you please clarify what do you mean by “Users in Location C must Logon with Domaincredentials from Sub.domain.tld from Location A”?
From what I understand, you have two domains:
domain.tld and sub.domain.tld, and you want that user accounts in
sub.domain.tld (location A) can logon from domain.tld (location C), am I right?
If that is your goal, please make sure the following conditions are true:
During the logon process, specify the right domain name which is like
@sub.domain.tld.
The GC in location C is available to identify the appropriate Domain Controller for authentication process.
There is no network connectivity issues between location A and C, because after GC located a DC in location A, the logon process will take place between location A and C.
In addition, every site should have good network connectivity with at least another site to keep AD replication healthy. If there are critical errors in your HQ site, we should try
to resolve them.

ASA Failover when Firewalls are at different sites - help

I am implementing a solution for a customer whereby they have two Cisco ASA 5520X firewalls. They wish for the firewalls to be in an Active-Standby state.
This not only means that if one firewall dies, the other will take over. It also means that any configuration changes made on the primary are copied to the backup.
The only catch is, both firewalls are at different sites. There is no layer 2 WAN link running between the sites. They are seperated by both the internet cloud on one side and their internal company MPLS cloud on the other.
The diagram, that I have taken from my GNS3 simulation and modified slightly, shows the setup. All of the IP addresses (and AS numbers) are made up. Any reflection on real world IPs is unintentional and just a coincidence.
The diagram is probably too overcrowded with IP information than is needed in this question - but the basic idea is the following:
1. Under normal conditions traffic will flow to the internet from the remote MPLS site and leave via the firewall (PAT) at site1 - however note the public range of 23.23.23.0/24 is configured at both Site-1 and Site-2 - so at the moment the internet cloud is prefering Site-1 to reach that range.
2. If the internet link fron INT-PRI at Site-1 fails, remote MPLS traffic destined for the internet will be forwarded out to the internet at Site-2.
3. If the two MPLS links to Site-1 fail, INT-PRI will stop advertising the public range to the internet PE routers and traffic from the remote MPLS router destined for the internet will go out via Site-2.
I have the tracking and dynamic routing failover setup between the sites all configured and worked out (I can provide the details of how INT-PRI tracks a sponge address in the MPLS cloud to determine whether or not it advertises the public range to the internet etc etc if you want, but on this question I want to focus on the firewalls).
Currently the customer has resigned to having to do manual copying between the firewalls every time a change is made (i.e. there is no dynamic failover configured and the Site-2 firewall is just a clone that is kept up to date by their change management team).
Is there a smart way to set up an Active-Standby configuration between these distant sites? Or at the very least dynamically copy the configuraiton to the backup everytime a change is made? My first though would be some kind of EEM or TCL script but I'm not that experienced with either. Alternatively, if there is smart was to get the two firewalls talking over Layer 2 it might be a better way forward.
Thanks in advance. Apologies for this question being too wordy.

You could used Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) or Virtual Private Lan Services (VPLS), though if I remember correctly this is limited to certain platforms and IOS versions.

iCloud is a different set of features from iTunes in the Cloud.
To download your copy of the album go to iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not in my library. You should find the album there. Click the cloud symbol to download.

Only in Firefox browser when a person types in Buddhist Church of San Francisco they are taken to a link that leads them to a Canadian pharmacy. Why?

I work at the Buddhist Church of San Francisco.
When others trying to find our website search in Modzilla: "Buddhist Church of San Francisco" They are taken to a link that looks like our home page bcsfweb.org. When they click on the link, they are taken to a Canadian pharmacy. I've been getting calls that we've been hacked. When you type bcsfweb.org into the url bar, our site comes up. When you search Buddhist Church of San Francisco in Chrome or Safari you are taken to our home page. It's just Modzilla. I've notified them through email and haven't received a response. I've left a voicemail on an 800 customer service number no response.
Any ideas why this might be happening or how to navigate to the right office to notify Modzilla of this problem?
Thank you,
MBrown

Yes.
Your website's server has been hacked.
This happens when you click a search result on the Google results page and the referrer is enabled (network.http.sendRefererHeader = 2).
*https://www.google.com/search?q=http://bcsfweb.org/
So you need the check the DNS servers.

Need script to automate creation of AD sites,subnets and site links

Hello,
I have a requirement to create hundreds of sites and thousands of subnets in AD and also site links. I have an excel file with the details.
Can somebody help me with a vbscript/powershell script to automate this and create all the AD sites, subnets and site links
Any help will be highly appreciated.
BR,

Hi AD-learner,
As Santhosh said, you can get the scripts from the Script Center.
I have made a quick search for you on the scripts for importing AD sites, subnets and site links.
Checkout the below link on the powershell scripts to import,

To make sure that all required media is in the library contain the project you need to "Consolidate media" see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov882dee351
You can then copy the library to your laptop with the Finder and open it with the same version of iMovie. The last phrase is important since Apple has made changes in the project format several times even between minor updates of iMovie 10. Earlier versions may not be able to read the library and later versions (not possible in this case) may cause the project to be updated so that it is no longer readable by the desktop version. iMovie on the laptop will not at first find the copied library - you will have either to double click on it or File - Open library - Other and navigate to its location.

Site Link Membership

Can an AD site be a member of two different site links?
Our network is a full mesh MPLS with various link speeds so I would like to control what sites replicate with each other. For example, for 4 sites with the same high speed links I was going to create a site link called Core and set replication schedule to
every 60 minutes:
When sites are part of a site link, is a full mesh topology automatically created between them?
Also, if I then wanted to force a site with a low speed link to only replicate with one of the 4 core sites I.E. Site A would i just create another site link and add the core site and the new site? If so how would costing affect this scenario if at all?

Please keep in mind that just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you should. I have managed and advised site topology for years for hundreds of companies and only
very rarely is there a need to do what you are describing. Unless there is a specific business reason for doing so, I would personally not mess with the site link costing. Keep in mind, that technology was born from the need of the day.
When AD was introduced, connection speeds were painfully slow and bandwidth needed to be managed. Admins needed to prevent replication from saturating connections needed for business apps and users. Remember, a high speed link in those days 128k
to 256k. A far cry from the performance of every MPLS network I have seen.
Replication topology is largely controlled by the KCC and ISTG and I guarantee you can't out think the algorithm it uses. By throttling your replication you are effectively killing performance. For a fully routed MPLS network I would either
use the defaults or even consider using Change Notification so you are sending smaller chunks more often.
Again, unless you have a specific business reason for doing what you are proposing, I would recommend leaving it alone. My 2 cents.

Inter site mail routing on AD site Link issue

Hi All,

we have two AD site Site "A" has exchange 2007 SP-3 and Site "B" has exchange 2010 SP-3.
2, when we are migrating 2007 user's mailbox 2010 after mailbox migration user get a popup " Administrator has made some changes ......................." after this when user restart his outlook client user can not connected as his mail server
settings are still older.
this is working properly for sites having Exchange, rest 2 sites not having any exchange, there we are getting this issue.
Please help.......

Hi Vinod,
Thank you for your question.
We could run the following command to check if the issue persist:
Set-SendConnector –Identity <SendConnectorname> -IgnoreStartTLS $false
You could also send NDR to [email protected] for our troubleshooting.
Ans:- between AD site mail rout via AD site Link and i have checked the size limit is "Unlimited"..
Did you mean you have checked the limited of send connector?
There are following limitation on Exchange server, we could check it by command:
Global/Organizational Limit: Get-TransportConfig
Send Connector: Get-SendConnector <send connector name>
Receive Connector: Get-ReceivConnector<receive connector name>
Active Directory SiteLink Limit:( you have check)
Server Limits(transport rule: 15M in this case)
User Level Limits: Get-Mailbox “User Name” | Format-Table Name,*Max*
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,

Unless that is if it is just external links that you need to warn them about then I would use the tooltip widget to use the link to open the tooltip and then in the tooltip contain the link to the external site.
