Best options for migrating Samba shares to DFS

My team is in the process of setting up a new domain for our organization. We want to slowly migrate users from non-AD accounts and workstations to AD (2012). One of the pieces we are having trouble coming to a consensus on is the best method(s) for migrating
the Samba shares from our RHEL server to DFS.
One idea was to join the Samba server to the domain then add the shares into DFS to allow the non-AD users to continue to use the old server and the new users to use the DFS server. As we had time (small team) we would join the individual workstations, have
the users start using their AD credentials, and move their mapped drives to the DFS share. Later, we could add a DFS server for replication and eventually drop the Samba server once everyone was migrated.
Another opinion that we should simply copy the departmental shares across to the DFS server and move whole departments rather than individual users, locking down the old Samba shares as we go.
These are pretty much theoretical at this point as I can't seem to find any documentation on how best to migrate from Samba to DFS. I would appreciate ideas.
Thanks.

Hi,
You could map drives to old server using the DFS server credential:
net use \\DFS server\\share Z: /user:domain\username password
Then run the robocopy command to migrate the shared folder from the old server to the DFS server:
robocopy “\\source server\drive$\folder path” Z:\ /COPYALL /B /SEC /MIR /R:0 /W:0 /LOG:c:\logs\robolog.txt /NFL /NDL
For more detailed information about the robocopy command, you could refer to the artice below:

Publish+Share best option for fast action AVI 1920x1080 29.97?

I want to play my movie on an HDTV from my laptop or USB drive. What is the best option for Publish+Share?
I don't need to preserve layers for future re-edits and smaller file size is better but not if it's at the expense of playback quality.
Should I choose Computer or Disk? Pros and cons?
Should I choose MPEG or AVCHD? Pros and cons?
Which version of 1080? Pros and cons?
Is there a detailed listing of the Publish+Share options?

Seems like there are 4 "best options" - can anyone advise further?

Best Practices for migrating .rpd

Hi,
Can someone please share with us the industry best practices for migrating the .rpd file from a source (QA) to a destination (Prod) environment. Our Oracle BI server runs on a unix box and currently what we do to migrate is to save copies of QA and prod .rpds on our local machine and do a Merge. Once merged, we ftp the resulting .rpd to destination (prod) machine. This approach does not seem reliable and we are looking for a better established approach for .rpd migration. Kindly help me where I can find the Documentation..Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

I don't think there is an industry best practice as such. What applies for one customer doesn't necessarily apply at another site.
Have a read of this from Mark Rittman, it should give you some good ideas:

Best practice for migrating IDOCs?

Subject: Best practice for migrating IDOC's?
Hi,
I need to migrate some IDOC's to another system for 'historical reference'.
However, I don't want to move them using the regular setup as I don't want the inbound processing to be triggered.
The data that was created in the original system by the processed IDOC's will be migrated to the new system using migration workbench. I only need to migrate the IDOC's as-is due to legal requirements.
What is the best way to do this? I can see three solutions:
A) Download IDOC table contents to a local file and upload them in the new system. Quick and dirty approach, but it might also be a bit risky.
B) Use LSMW. However, I'm not sure whether this is feasible for IDOC's.
C) Using ALE and setting up a custom partner profile where inbound processing only writes the IDOC's to the database. Send the IDOC's from legacy to the new system. Using standard functionality in this way seems to me to be the best solution, but I need to make sure that the IDOC's once migration will get the same status as they had in the old system.
Any help/input will be appreciated
Regards
Karl Johan
PS. For anyone interested in the business case: Within EU the utility market was deregulated a few years ago, so that any customer can buy electricity from any supplier. When a customer switches supplier this is handled via EDI, in SAP using ALE and IDOC's. I'm working on a merger between two utility companies and for legal reasons we need to move the IDOC's. Any other data is migrated using migration workbench for IS-U.

Hi Daniele
I am not entirely sure, what you are asking, Please could you provide additional information.
Are you looking for best practice recommendations for Governance, for example: Change transports between DEV, QA and PRD in BPC 7.0?
What is the best method? Server Manager backup and restore, etc ?
And
Best Practice recommendations on how to upgrade to a different version of BPC, for example: Upgrading from BPC 7.0 to 7.5 or 10.0 ?
Kind Regards
Daniel

Best Practice for Migration of BO from one server to another

Hi All,
I would like to know what is the Best pratice for Migration of BO from One server to another.
i have Installed BO Xi R2 on my server.
Thanks,

You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
Choose Copy, then click OK.
Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
password).
When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

Best option for Asynchronous method invocation? JMS or Pure Java Thread

Hi,
We've a swing based Client application which is supposed to run with a server in J2EE environment. Some process like Search etc are very time consuming. So we are going for asynchronous process.
Now the question is to find a best option for this. Two possible candidates are
1. JMS
2. Java Thread.
Can anybody suggest me which one is the best option in this context?

Actually my thought was the issues with code maintainability.Maintainability is different issue, it is much related to OOAD and design pattern you might want to choose to avoid coupling (thus high reusability and maintainability - eg: for future enhancement, etc)..
public interface SearchService {
     public static class DefaultFactory {
             public SearchService getInstance() {
                      return HttpSearchService.getInstance();
     public void search (String[] keywords, Observer obs);
public class HttpSearchService implements SearchService {
     public static HttpSearchService getInstance() {
            ... bla bla bla singleton ...
     public void search(final String [] keywords, final Observer obs) {
                 (new Thread() {
                          public void run() {
                                .. do http request ...
                                List result = ... parse http response ...
                                obs.update(list);
                 }).start();
SearchService ss = SearchService.DefaultFactory.getInstance();
ss.search( new String[] { "get", "me", "my" , "dukes" }, myTableModel );
...You can, in future, replace the default factory HttpSearchService with something faster, more appropriate SearchService, without changing many codes.

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

#1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
#2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
#3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
#4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

Best practice for migration to new hardware

Hi,
We are commissioning new hardware for our Web Server. Our current webserver is version 6.1SP4, and for the new server we've decided to stay with 6.1 but install SP7.
Is there a best practice for migrating content from one physical server to another?
What configuration files should I watch out for?
Hopefully the jump from SP4 to SP7 won't cause too many problems.
Thanks,
John

unfortunately, there is no quick solution for migrating from 1 server to other. you will need to carefully reconstruct
- acl rules
- server hostname configurations
- any certificates that have been created on the old machine

Whats the best option for passing parameters between tf?

Dear All,
I have three Task Flows:
1. TF1
     - Main Taskflow that calls a web service to gather its data
2. TF2
     - Secondary taskflow which receives a parameter and depending on the value of the parameter received will display its data accordingly. Generally any data
     is feed from TF1
3. TF3
     - Same as TF2Use Case:
All three TF will be dropped to the page as Regions in a Webcenter Portal Application. Changes in TF1 should propagate into TaskFlow 2.
Question:
1. How do I configure that changes in TF1 would be propagated back into task flow 2 and 3 and whats the best option for this?
2. At runtime, user can choose to edit the page and TF2 and TF3 can be deleted but TF 1 should remain as the source of information.
Given the scenario above:
- shall I wire the taskflows via page parameters?
- contextual events?
What are the considerations that needs to be thought of. I havent done such requirements before.
Please help.
Webcenter 11.1.1.6

Contextual events seem to be the best case.
This way you can trigger whenever you want. Web services can be slow so you can trigger the event when the gathering of the data has been finished and then pass some value on the event.
An event also has a payload so it's an ideal scenario to add the data from the service on it so you can use it in the other TF's.
In order to manage the deletion of the TF1, you can use the UI events on the composer: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_page_editor_adv.htm#CHDHHFDJ

Best option for upgrading to CS 6

Hello,
I need some help. I currently have CS 5 and 5.5 installed across 7 PCs and 1 MAC within the marketing department in my company. What would be the best option for upgrading all of them to CS 6 Master Collection. (how many PCs can I use a license on? How many licenses would I have to purchase to install on all the machines?)
Thanks.

There is no ambiguity here: You buy 7+1 licenses. Though you have 2 activations per license, they are not meant to run your facility on the cheap. I suggest you read the EULA....

Best option for optical au

Hey guys,
just a query - i have an audigy 2 ZS currently, and a high end yamaha 7. amplifier.
what im wanting to do is connect this up via optical .. its currently connected via RCA and it seems to get confused as to which is the sub and which is the centre, despite me trying all combinations of cabling.
so i thought an optical wire from soundcard to amplifier would be the best way ?
i've read somewhere that if i do this, and play 2. audio (mp3s), my rear channel will be disabled ? surely thats not true ? - reason for saying this is i've seen home theatre setups where a CD player is hooked up to an amp via optical, and it still produces audio through the rear channels.
whats the best option to run this via optical ? do i need to purchase a new sound card ? if so, what is the best option for me ?
id rather quality than cheaping out on something that 'will do the job', but options are always welcome
mostly i listen to music with a bit of bass, i dont do a whole heap of gaming, so i guess music is the focus.
Thanks !

ReaperZ,
The center is on the nominally-left-channel RCA, so the likely-red-coded, nominally-right-channel RCA is your subwoofer connector.
I don't have the same soundcard model, and I can't give you blow-by-blow detail, but try looking in the Bass Management tab of the Speaker Settings control, or you may find something in the THX Setup Console, for bass redirection. You should at least find subwoofer volume and crossover-frequency sliders, and you also might find a center volume control. I'm a proponent of running all soundcard volumes at 00% and controlling listening volume and speaker balance at the amp, since this maximizes the digital SNR, but it can also be less convenient.
Run through the receiver manual's troubleshooting section for "No sound from the center speaker" and "No sound from the subwoofer" just to rule out a setting problem on the receiver side.
Then use "Manually adjusting speaker levels" on pg 45 of the receiver manual, with? MULTI CH IN selected on the remote control, to max the SWFR level (+0dB). Most receivers have separate level settings for their multi-channel input, so it is usually advantageous to provide the +0dB boost this way so it is in effect only when using the soundcard. This boost can be increased further by lowering all of the other settings the same number of dB's: if you subtract dB from all of the others, the effect is to increase the relati've subwoofer volume by dB.
Try using this information and let us know what happens.

Best option for replacing a faulty ATI Radeon x 2600 XT 256mb

My graphics card has just packed up, and I am struggling to find anybody at the Apple Technical Support service to give me a straight answer.
I am not a gamer, and only require a card that will allow me day today use and for general camcorder editing (novice level).
I had an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT - standard install. in my MacPro (early 2008) 2.8Ghz, Dual Quad Intel chipset, OSX 10.6 (snow leopard).
Can anyone recommend the best option for ATI card, as I have read theyh perform better than the Nvidia cards.

I'd get ATI HD Radeon 4870 Mac Edition from Apple.
The GT is more like spare or for 3 monitors. Why or how Nvidia got that card to be adopted as the OEM standard in a workstation, and not say GTS/GTX 200 series is, beyond me. One year ATI, next year Nvidia gets the "prize" seems to be the order of the day.
Nvidia drivers have been a problem for Apple for years, the GTX 285 would do some serious damage to 3D and CS4/5. Two dual width card design the way a Quadro CX handles CS4 for Windows to do realtime image rendering instantly.
I wouldn't flash unless you like to dabble or want to learn. In which case a 1GB card would make more sense.
Surprised though the manager didn't steer you toward the 4870.

Best option for boosting signal

Hi all,
For internet access I plug my mac directly in to my Time Capsule and then use my touch wirelessly throughout the house.
I lose signal strength toward the back of the house and sometimes lose the signal completely.
What is my best option for boosting the signal coming from the Time Capsule.
Oh, I have an old Airport Express Base Station if this can be used.
Cheers,
Steve

cheers for the info.
How can I tell if my Airport Express Base Station is using N wireless?
Is the G version just an older, slower version?
Cheers,
Steve

Best option for remote downlinking

I am going to be streaming video/audio to some clients all over the US, all of which will be using PC's.
90% of the time they are going to be in locations where a hardline to the internet isn't possible.
What is the best option for them to access my stream as well as provide me back a webcam feed?
Is a cell phone card as good as it gets now?
Thanks,
Chris

Your options here are entirely and completely dependent on the local network services. This could include cellular data packet networks (and there are various flavors), WISP, satellite data (Iridium, GlobalStar and such), dial-up at speeds anywhere from roughly 50 kilobaud down to unusable, local WiFi networks, or otherwise.
Satellite networks are the most pervasive, though do have technical limits and do have among the highest of the high prices. I'd not want to stream video (on a budget) on such networks.
If these clients are going to be located are fixed sites or specific geographic areas, you can potentially set up backhaul wireless networks. If local network coverage is bad (and the local terrain allows it), you can potentially set up your own WISP, and provide coverage for yourself and potentially others.
If this is the United States, you're going to encounter some rather severe limitations and network fragmentation outside the metropolitan areas. Inside the metropolitan areas, there are almost always options. Outside those areas, you'll find that some countries will tend to have more pervasive network services, and better wireless coverage. (DSL and cellular data coverage is very far from pervasive locally, and this is located in one of the most populous counties in a small US state. And the local geography is not particularly amenable to a WISP operating on a budget.)
