Availability Groups Best Practice

When setting up the underlying cluster portion in Windows is it best to use the Node & Disk Majority or Node & File Share?
John M. Couch

Hello,
It's best to use what you can use and are comfortable with. If your file share isn't highly redundant then there really is no different between using the two. If your file share is highly redundant you may get a more solid voting solution using the file
share.
Edit:
It also has different flexibilities. For example, if using AOAGs then clustered shared drives isn't needed - so you can actually get away with local storage on each node. Maybe you don't have a SAN or NAS that makes it possible to setup clustered storage
and must use a file share. It always depends.

Content filters based on Group Best Practice

What is best practice for Content filters based on Group.
What we wanna accomplish.
We have few groups but i'll make an example on two.
We have one group that have allowed "Media" and another group that have allowed "Exe".
What is best practice if one user is in both group.
How would you do Content filtering?
I dont see in Content filtering condition
if (Envelope Recipient does not mach group) then Block.
Is the best way to create first?
If (attachment.type="Media") then (insert header="sometext);
and after in Content filter below
if (Envelope Recipient) and (Header does not contain "sometext") then Block.

Hi,
I understand that I will have to use BPM. What is the best way?

Application Availability Monitoring -- Best Practice?

What are you using to monitor application availability? Thinks like making sure that Essbase, Planning, FR, Workspace, FDM, and HFM are up, and responding to requests in a timely manner.
Do Hyperion Management Packs exist for MS System Center Operations Manager?
Someone recommended Oracle Enterprise Manager, but I don't see any Hyperion functionaity in that tool, only Oracle relational database stuff.
Custom development is an option, but I hate reinventing wheels.
Thx, Jeff

I'm headed down a path of semi-custom; using Solarwinds IPMonitor as the backend alerting tool, which calls custom scripts to check the health of the software.
Essbase is easy, I'm using a MaxL script.
What about Planning, HFM, and FR? Does anyone have any ways to script a health check of these applications? I was thinking about making calls to the APS, which can connect to all three of those apps..

Best practice question for Availability Groups setup

I have created a 2012 WFC with 2 nodes (server 1 and server2). Each node will host 2 instance of SQL Server 2014. I am planning to use 2 Availability Groups.
So
Server1\instance A
Server1\instance B
Server2\instance A
Server2\instance B
Thus "instance A" will have AG_A
instance B will have AG_B,
What is the recommend configuration for configuring the Quorum witness? A file share or disk witness? Note that the WFC does not have any shared disks since I'm only using AG (not a clustered SQL server service).
Thanks,
Pete

What is the version of operating system. If you are any OS version lower than Windows 2012 then you need to add one more voter for quorum.

Best practice for highly available management / publishing servers

I am testing a highly available appv 5.0 environment, which will deploy appv packages to a Xenapp farm. I have two SQL 2012 servers configured as an availability group for the backend, and two publishing / management servers for the front end.
What is the best practice to configure the publishing / management servers for high availability? Should I configure them as an NLB cluster, which I have tested and does seem to work, or should I just use the GPO to configure the clients to use both
publishing servers, which I have also tested and appears to work?
Thanks,
Patrick Sullivan

In App-V 5.0 the Management and Publishing Servers are hosted in IIS, so use the same approach for HA as you would any web application.
If NLB is all that's available to you, then use that; otherwise I would recommend a proper load balancing solution such as Citrix NetScaler or KEMP LoadManager.

Best practice for installing which software group

I am new to Solaris. I have Sun X2100 with 2 x 80G harddisks (run as email server, run tomcat, jboss and postgresql) , which software group is recommended for production install? Is there any guide (best practice)?

There is one best practice document available from Oracle RACSIG site and "Oracle Real Applicaiton Cluster Administration and Deployment Guide" available on OTN is also good source of informaiton about 10g RAC.
Oracle has made sincere efforts in 10g documentations expecially in server technology.
Thanks & Regards

Best Practice - knowing when excludeIn/includeIn components are available

I'm using excludeIn and includeIn with states to show/hide certain elements. What's the best practice of knowing hidden elements become available? I frequently change to a new state and set labels/dataproviders/etc. on the elements in that state. Databinding isn't always a clean solution. Right now I just have a creationComplete handler for a group that contains the changing items, but obviously this won't work if I have numerous elements spread all over the interface.
Thanks.

Best Practice: Deploying Group Policy to Users on different OUs

Greetings, everyone! I am needing some advice on how to deploy some group policy objects to specific users stored on different OUs.
Let me set the stage: I work for a large school district, and have recently taken over the district's career center. The idea behind the career center is that students from different high schools around the city come in to take classes based on their choice
of career, such as radio broadcasting or auto mechanic and such. The AD structure is set up so that each school has their own OU. When a user (staff, student, etc.) is assigned to a school OU, they automatically are added to
their school's security group (i.e. EASTHIGH-STUDENT), and that when any user moves from one school to another, we have to move their AD account to that school's OU, which will remove the security group from the old school and apply the new school
security group.
For the career center, since we have students coming from different buildings every day, rather than trying to find a way to move their AD account from their high school OU to the career center OU, the previous techs created generic accounts (such as tv001,
tv002, etc.) in AD and stored them in the career center OU. This way, teachers can assign students that particular generic account so that they can access the drives and printers from the career center, as well as access the career center network
drives while they are at their home high school.
Since I have moved to the career center, and apparently I have more knowledge about group policy than most of the techs in the district, the district system engineers want me to remove all of the generic accounts from the career center OU, and have students
use their own AD accounts. Obviously I also want to do this since the generic accounts are very confusing to me, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this.
For simplicity sake, I'm just going to start off by figuring out how to set up a group policy for mapping the career center drives. Now, I obviously know that the best way would be to create security groups for each career area, and that we would need
to add students to those groups so that only those particular students would get the GPO for the career center, but my question is where would I like the group policies to? Do I need to link it at the root of the domain so that every OU is hit?
Just curious about this.
Thanks!

Don't link it to the root.... apply the drive mapping as a policy at the OU or you could apply the drive mapping using Group Policy Preferences using security group targeting... .I would also strongly recommend you check out my articles

Group by best practice question

Consider this example:
TABLE: SALES_DATA
firm_id|sales_amt|d_date|d_data
415|45|20090615|Lincoln Financial
415|30|20090531|Lincoln AG
416|10|20081005|AM General
416|20|20080115|AM General Inc.
I want the output to be grouped by firm_id with the sum of sales_amt and the d_data
that corresponds to the latest d_date (i.e. max(d_date))
Proposed query:
select firm_id, sum(sales_amt) total_sales, substr(max(d_data), instr(max(d_data), '~') + 1) firm_name from (
select firm_id, sales_amt, d_date || '~' || d_data from sales_data
group by firm_id
output is as expected:
firm_id|total_sales|firm_name
415|75|Lincoln Financial
416|30|AM General
I know this works but my QUESTION is: is there a better way to do this and is the above approach to concatenate columns when you want to aggregate multiple columns against any best practices.
Thanks very much!

Here's a way that uses analytics (I just like them):
SQL> select * from sales_data;
             FIRM_ID            SALES_AMT D_DATE               D_DATA
                 415                   45 15-JUN-2009 00:00:00 Lincoln Financial
                 415                   30 31-MAY-2009 00:00:00 Lincoln AG
                 416                   10 05-OCT-2008 00:00:00 AM General
                 416                   20 15-JAN-2008 00:00:00 AM General Inc.
SQL> select firm_id, sum_amt, d_data
2 from
3 (
4     select firm_id, d_data
5           ,sum(sales_amt) over (partition by firm_id) sum_amt
6           ,row_number() over (partition by firm_id order by d_date desc) rn
7     from   sales_data
8 )
9 where rn = 1
10 ;
             FIRM_ID              SUM_AMT D_DATA
                 415                   75 Lincoln Financial
                 416                   30 AM General

AD Built-In groups that should be avoided as best practice

I am on a 2008r2 domain. I spoke to a security engineer from Microsoft a few years ago. He mentioned some known issues that can occur from using some of the built-in security groups like Account Operators, Backup Operators, Server Operators,
etc. I know all of the users of those protected groups get stamped with the adminsdholder account, but does anyone have a good webpage that talks about which built-on groups should really be avoided as best practice? I am not as concerned with the actual
admin groups as those are pretty obvious.
Thanks,
Dan Heim

Because being member of those groups mentioned means you can effectively become a Enterprise Admin of the entire forest cause they can reset passwords, logon to domain controllers etc. Take his advice and don't use them, they exists as a legacy from Windows
NT 4.0.
Use delegation in Active Directory instead to delegate proper permissions.

Purchasing Group control - PO and PR - Best Practices?

Hi experts,
My client need to implement in the same plant, purchasing group for POs and indirect PRs.
They currently have around 5-6 plants in Asia and the design is to group the purchasing group for the plant at the prefix level. Example A01 to AZZ for plant in Thailand, B01 to BZZ for plant in China.
   Thus we will have situation of A01, A02, A03 created for buyers and A04, A05 created for department to raise indirect PR.
   But the requirement is that the buyer should not use the purchasing group from the department (A04, A05) to create PO. Other than hard-coding the A01, A02 and A03 to the role to be given to the buyer, for Best practice, how should the purchasing groups be design in such situations?

Hi Ravi,
          Thanks for your respond.
           My client won't have issue of buyer buying for other plants as the buyers are local buyers situated at the plant. They don't have a centralized purchasing team that purchased for mor than 1 plant.
            When you say purchasing group are added to the role, I presume you mean that buyer only have authorizaton for their own purchasing group? That mean buyer A01 only have authorization for A01 and nothing else?
             When it come to maintenance, won't this be tough? In addition, buyers will not be able to back up each other of the same plant when anyone goes on leave. Our current plan is to give A* for buyers in Thailand plant. But that also mean I might have the prob of direct buyers accidentally using department purchasing group to create PO.
