Auto reboot / Manual reboot : easy way to apply group policy for each group without multiple AD links? Help appreciated

Good morning,
I have two policies for WSUS, one that auto-reboots the client and one that allows for manual reboots.  I'm sure this is very obvious, but i'm wanting to make sure I do this correctly.
What's the easiest way to apply the policy for manual/auto reboots without having to go through my entire active directory tree and link it to each OU containing mixed computers?  
I hope this makes sense, but I know i can set security groups and then set it for the scope, but if I go that route is there a way to apply it to all Domain Computers, EXCEPT those who are a member of security group "MPS - WSUS Manual" for example?
Any input here is greatly appreciated
Thank you

If all the machines that you want to have the manual option are in a few select OUs then you could apply the auto reboot GPO to the root of the domain, and then link the manual GPO just to those GPOs containing the relevant machines. As explained here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc785665(v=ws.10).aspx a policy applied to an OU overrides a policy applied to the domain as a whole.
While I'm not sure, from your description I'm guessing that's the case, and they're actually mixed in throughout the domain? In which case, the other option might be to make use of group policies order or precedence. As described here
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/muaddib/archive/2012/08/22/determine-gpo-precedence-with-gpmc-gpresult.aspx you'll see that the order that the GPOs are listed makes a difference to the order that they are applied, and the last to be applied takes precedence over
those that come before. Therefore using that, if you applied the reboot policy to everyone, and then applied the manual one with a security filter so it only applied to your "MPS - WSUS Manual" group such that it had a higher precedence, all machines would
receive the first GPO, but those machines in that group would have that overridden by the second policy.

    On an iPhone 5, Is there an easy way to move app icons as a group? instead of one by one?

    If you have a bunch of apps on one screen yunwantnto move to another as a group, create a folder by holding your finger on ne app until all the icons start shaking and show and "x" in the top left corner of the icon. Press again and don't lift your finger; move that icon with your finger over one of the other icons you want to add to the folder, which will create a folder. Then you can move the other apps you want to move into that folder. When you have all the apps you want to move into that folder, close the folder by tapping on the screen outside the folder. The icons should still be shaking. Then press on the folder you want to move and slide it to the edge of the screen, left or right, until the folder moves to the next screen. Once you get it to the screen of choice, you can leave the apps in that folder or move them out by the same process. When you are done moving things around, press the Home button and the icons will stop shaking. Now they will stay put.
    Alternatively,my can sync your device with iTunes and move the icons around in the Apps windows in iTunes, then re-sync your device after you're finished. That will rearrange your icons on the device.
    Good luck!

  • Is There an Easier Way to Save a PDF for Perfect Binding?

    I've always had this problem whenever I do a booklet or magazine that will end up perfect bound: I have my document setup in CS6 with "facing pages" so I can easily design spreads with images and backgrounds that span both pages. Usually, when it prints, it's saddle stitched, so I don't mind if the inside edge has contents from the other page since they will print next to each other anyway. When I've done perfect bound booklets in the past, I've always unchecked "facing pages" and manually duplicated and moved the image that span the entire spread to cover both pages. However, I'm currently working on a 48-page magazine and I really don't feel like doing this... specifically for fear of missing something and overlooking it so that it prints wrong.
    Here are some examples:
    This first one obviously has one background image that spans both pages of the spread
    However, when I try to separate the pages. My same right-hand page now has no background. A good majority of the magazine is laid out this way.
    Similarly, this spread with 2 full-page ads have no bleed on the inside margin for proofing purposes. If it were saddle stitched, I wouldn't give a second thought I'd just let the auto bleed pull image from the other ad. Who cares? They're going to be right next to each other anyway. But, since we're going the perfect-bound route, I need for each ad to have full bleed on all 4 sides. Is it just my neuroticism? The inside edge will be glued amongst 47 other pages. Will anyone ever notice that sliver of white, black, and red from the Sarge ad nestled in the spine when they're viewing the Sunrise Detox ad is the cutting is off?
    I know you can do the "shuffle pages" thing to help with the ads, but I'm just hoping there's an easier way; a checkbox... something! C'mon, Adobe! You're #1 in the design industry and it's so difficult to work around the facing-pages-full-bleed issue. I know I'm not very advanced with my InDesign experience. But if after several years, many booklets, a few magazines, and a couple version upgrades, I'd like to think I would've found an easier way to do this. You know, kinda like how your new liquid pages features. That would be tremendous if something similar could be implemented for people in printing to quickly change between design spreads, proof spreads, and printing single pages!
    Thanks in advance for any help!!

    If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
    Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
    //// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
    1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
    2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
    3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
    4. Now you have the result.
    Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page.

  • Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

    Hi All
    Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
    Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
    Cheers

  • Is there a way to apply sound effect to each application?

    Hello, I use x-fi surround 5.1 usb and windows 7-64bit.
    I like to play Elder Scrolls: Skyrim with stone hall EAX effect and winamp playing other mp3s.
    Is there a possible way to apply EAX only to Skyrim game and not winamp?
    It seems that no thread is talking about this issue. I really appreciate if someone gives me directions or hints.

    Hi,
    Sorry I don't think that is possible. EAX effects applies to all sounds when it is enabled.

  • Easy way to change field label for all UIs?

    How would a customer change a field label for all UIs that use this field/attribute, which is not really a translation?
    What I was able to find seems to be that we would need to edit Resource Bundles and that it will be much easier in Release 8:
    1. Section More on Resource Bundles in https://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel/entry/translating_your_customizations has this key passage:
    This is an industry open standard (OASIS) format XML file with the extension .xliff, and store translated values for the strings used by ADF at run-time. The general process is that these values are exported from the MDS repository, manually edited, and then imported back in again.This needs to be done by an administrator, via either WLST commands or through Enterprise Manager as per the screenshot below. This is detailed out in the Fusion Applications Extensibility Guide.
    2. That blog posting also says this will get easier in Release 8:
    Currently planned for Release 8 is something called the User Interface (UI) Text Editor. This tool will allow the editing of all the text shown on the pages and forms of Fusion Application. This will provide a search based on a particular term or word, say “Worker”, and will allow it to be adjusted, say to “Employee”, which then updates all the Resource Bundles that contain it.
    3. I found the video How To Customize Field Labels but it seems that is one UI label at a time...

    Hi vedette and Uchiha.
    while we cannot talk here about features of future releases, rest assured we are working on material that will help you understand and use the functionality, from official documentation to blog posts and videos.  Please keep an eye on your blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel and our Youtube channel at http://youtube.com/FADeveloperRelations -- as soon as R8 becomes publicly available you can expect to find useful information on those sites, among them a blog post that summarizes new features that are important for developers and then more indepth coverage.

  • What is the best way to present favorite photos for a group of people

    What is the best way to present your favorite photos for a group presentation?? I use iPhoto library. I also have Aperture downloaded on my iMac. Not too familiar with Aperture.  It is for a milestone birthday.

    I think it's easiest to work from iPhoto. When I had to do a similar presentation for a birthday bash, I loaded the picts from my camera and some from my computer into iPhoto on a relative's MacBook Pro avalable at the site. It did not take a lot of time or trouble.
    iPhoto allows fairly easy options for presenting the slide show , including various transitions and putting a sound track underneath.
    Regardless of whether the presentation was or wasn't  less elegant than what some more expensive software could do, the attendees loved what we did for that bash.
    Never used Aperture so I don't know what it can do. You could ask in the Aperature forums here:

  • Is there a way to create separate PDFs for each layer in Indesign?

    I have a multi-layered InDesign file, and I would like to generate a PDF for each of the layers. I was able to create a LAYERED PDF file (one PDF page with layers), which is great, but I also need a multi-page PDF...one PDF page per layer.
    Is there a way to do this? Do I need a script? Or is there a way to extract the separate layers from the layered PDF?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Does this issue occur to all computers?
     Besides, can the users access the wallpaper?
    If this issue just happens to Windows 7, we can try applying the hotfix in the following article.

  • Any easy way to apply equalization?

    Due to high-frequency hearing loss (hereditary, not iPod-induced, BTW) I am having trouble hearing higher-pitched instruments played back on the new Shuttle. I know that the Shuttle's software does not have equalizer capability at present. I would like to boost the high frequencies. I don't mind having special versions of the music for the Shuffle since it is so much smaller than my other iPod in capacity. I am wondering if there is some quick-and-easy software available that I could apply to the music files either before or after converting to AAC that would apply an equalization curve? This is all music that I own the CDs to, so it isn't "protected" and I can experiment with several settings before I convert a whole lot of music.

    SInce the Shuffles (shuttles :)) don't have a way to set EQ, they won't apply settings even if you adjust them on individual songs.
    I'm not sure what you can do aside from getting a headphone amp and better headphones - but that kind takes the fun out of the Shuffle being so small, etc.
    I think for you I'd recommend at least a Nano and better cans. The Shuffles just don't offer enough flexibility for you - but others may have ideas I hadn't thought of.
    I think that using software to individually adjust frequency might be way too time-consuming...

  • Easy way to apply labels?

    Is there a utility or script that can apply a label without having to go into a finder/file menu.
    It would be good it there were buttons on the finder window so a file could be selcted and button pressed.
    Anyone know of such a utility??

    Are you asking about the coloured Finder labels, or perhaps I am misunderstanding the question? In addition to the "Finder" > "File" menu, labels can be applied by selecting one or more items and control-clicking to open the contextual menu, which is probably the most convenient way. If you prefer a button in the "Finder" window, the "action" menu in the toolbar (the gear shaped button, assuming the toolbar is showing) also allows labels to be set. If the "action" menu isn't visible, the toolbar can be customized through the "Customize toolbar…" option available through the "View" menu, or by control-clicking in the toolbar.

  • Is there an easy way to create simple forms for use in iweb?

    or a template?
    I need to create a reply form on the site I am working on.
    thanks

    After a few days of working on this issue the tutorial is updated to make the form be sent from within the webpage with extra form additions available as well!
    The form is fully customizable for background color or image background, there's no ads or service to sign up for, all you have to do is copy and paste a code into your html and enable cgi and/or php on your host with some additional small tweeks here and there to put it all together. Basically it's the do it yourself way.
    *The form on the tutorial link provided still opens the Email app when the form is submitted but we have tested this method on our other sites using the same procedures mentioned with successful results.

  • Is there an easy way of creating an ACL for denying users?

    Hi All,
    I like to create an ACL that would prevent about 50 users from accessing a particular network in our MPLS network.  I do not want to create another vlan for this. 
    Let's say I want to deny this range 10.12.16.20 - 50   from accessing 10.3.0.0 network but allow then access to everthing else.  Is this how to do it?
    Access-list 101 deny 10.12.16.20  0.0.0.0  10.3.0.0  0.0.255.255
    Access-list 101 deny 10.12.16.21  0.0.0.0  10.3.0.0  0.0.255.255
    Access-list 101 deny 10.12.16.22  0.0.0.0  10.3.0.0  0.0.255.255
    -- this will go continue down to .50
    Access-list 101 permit ip any any
    Can I do something like this?
    Access-list 101 deny 10.12.16.20 - 50  0.0.0.0 10.3.0.0  0.0.255.255
    Access-list 101 permit any any

    What Karsten has suggested, would be the "cleanest" approach, but if the IOS doesn't support it, what Rick suggested would be the way to do it using the fewest ACEs.
    If using Rick's approach, as he mentioned you can set ACEs on binary boundaries, variations on the "theme" might be to include a bigger block than needed, if the overage isn't harmful.  For example, when trying to exclude hosts 20 .. 50 one ACE could block 0 .. 63.
    Also remember you can mix permits and denies.  So say you wanted to block just 8 .. 63, you could permit 0..7, block 0..63 and then permit any.  Depending on your requirement, mixing permits and denies might require the fewest ACEs in your ACL.
    Of course the disadvange of a complicated ACL, it's harder to understand.  However, on a sofware based router, the shorter ACL might perform better.

  • Any way to apply "chapter markers" in uninterrupted playback (without popup dialog box) ?

    Long story short: I hate the default marker color of olive green, especially since my current project is shot in nature so they are essentially visually invisible when I look at the timeline with thumbnails on. So it'd be nice to use chapter markers (I've given them a hotkey) since they're vibrant red. But when I use the keystroke, the marker options popup dialog box appears. Is it possible to disable the popup?
    I use markers by adding them on the fly while watching all raw footage stringed together in a dedicated timeline (to quickly weed out select takes). This is a somewhat common technique amongst editors who learned from old "film" film editors (they did the same with workprints & a grease pencil). Currently I'm having to press "D" to select the current clip playing, and then press "M" (custom hotkey) to mark the take. It'd be nice to do so in a single button push… anyone know of such a way?
    Of course, just letting us change the marker colors would be nice too. Btw, I already did feature requests for these.
    This issue alone causes me to just do projects in FCP7 still. I'm trying to finally fully transition to Premiere Pro with this one, but this marker thing is killing me... Adobe peoples if you're reading this.

    Hi Ann, thanks for the suggestions. As with a lot of editors, having just the video head displayed occupies every clip's duration when looking at a long timeline. And dealing with the chapter marker popup is a huge speedbump when we're talking about literally dozens of markers.
    I posted my questions as a shot in the dark, assuming there was a 99.9% chance that there's no solution in Premiere, but I appreciate your info.
