Best Practice for setting up an office with an extreme

I am looking for some great info for setting up a Business Network using Comcast Business Highspeed. I rencently purchased an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express for a network extender and I am trying to understand what the optimal setup is for this kind of setup. Comcast provides a modem that manages DHCP but I am not sure if it makes sense to use the Airport Extremes built in DHCP or setup the Extreme as a bridge to the Modem and let DHCP be handled there. I am expecting to have anywhere from 30-60 devices on the network depending on the day. Is there any info out there that would help me better understand Apple's recomendation or do any of you have some good info for me? Thanks for the help in advance.

Unless the Comcast modem/router or gateway device has an available option to be configured as a simple modem.....and....this type of configuration is supported by Comcast, the decision about DHCP service has already been made for you.
In that case, configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode to allow the Comcast modem/router to control the routing functions on the network. You will have to check with Comcast to insure that the DHCP range of the modem/router will supply an adequate number of IP addresses to meet your needs.
That would probably mean a pool of at least 100 or more IP addresses.
Connect the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme if you want optimum bandwidth performance for the network.
Keep in mind that all devices will share the same Internet connection bandwidth, so if you have 50 devices on the network at one time, and you have a 50 Mbps Internet connection, each device will be allowed about 1 Mbps of bandwidth.
That may...or may not.....be adequate for your needs depending on how active the devices will be at the time.
If 50 users are all trying to update their email simultaneously, things are going to be sluggish.

Best practices for setting up RDS pool, with regards to profiles /appdata

All,
I'm working on a network with four physical sites and currently using a single pool of 15 RDS servers with one broker. We're having a lot of issues with the current deployment, and are rethinking our strategy. I've read a lot of conflicting information on how
to best deploy such a service, so I'd love some input.
Features and concerns:
Users connect to the pool from intranet only.
There are four sites, each with a somewhat different local infrastructure. Many users are connecting to the RDS pool via thin clients, although some locations have workstations in place.
Total user count that needs to be supported is ~400, but it is not evenly distributed - some sites have more than others.
Some of the users travel from one site to another, so that would need to be accounted for with any plans that involve carving up the existing pool into smaller groups.
We are looking for a load-balanced solution - using a different pool for each site would be acceptable as long as it takes #4 and #7,8 into account.
User profile data needs to be consistent throughout: My Docs, Outlook, IE favorites, etc.
Things such as cached IE passwords (for sharepoint), Outlook settings and other user customization needs to be carried over as well.
As such, something needs to account for the information in AppData/localroaming, /locallow and /local between these RDS servers.
Ideally the less you have to cache during each logon the better, in order to reduce login times.
I've almost never heard anything positive about using roaming profiles, but is this one of those rare exceptions? Even if we do that, I don't believe that covers the information in <User>/AppData/* (or does it?), so what would be the best
way to make sure that gets carried over between sessions inside the pool or pools?
The current solution involves using 3rd party apps, registry hacks, GPOs and a mashup of other things and is generally considered to be a poor fit for the environment. A significant rework is expected and acceptable. Thinking outside the box is fine!
I would relish any advice on the best solutions for deployment! Thank you!

(Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server. (This
will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
Specifically, your best practices regarding:
the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,
the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),
IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,
disk caching settings on both host and guests.
Thanks so much for any information you can share.

A bit of non essential additional info:
We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
over to the new infrastructure . We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
We have read these and others:
Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100),
Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.

Best practices for setting up projects

We recently adopted using Captivate for our WBT modules.
As a former Flash and Director user, I can say it’s
fast and does some great things. Doesn’t play so nice with
others on different occasions, but I’m learning. This forum
has been a great source for search and read on specific topics.
I’m trying to understand best practices for using this
product. We’ve had some problems with file size and
incorporating audio and video into our projects. Fortunately, the
forum has helped a lot with that. What I haven’t found a lot
of information on is good or better ways to set up individual
files, use multiple files and publish projects. We’ve decided
to go the route of putting standalones on our Intranet. My gut says
yuck, but for our situation I have yet to find a better way.
My question for discussion, then is: what are some best
practices for setting up individual files, using multiple files and
publishing projects? Any references or input on this would be
appreciated.

Hi,
Here are some of my suggestions:
1) Set up a style guide for all your standard slides. Eg.
Title slide, Index slide, chapter slide, end slide, screen capture,
non-screen capture, quizzes etc. This makes life a lot easier.
2) Create your own buttons and captions. The standard ones
are pretty ordinary, and it's hard to get a slick looking style
happening with the standard captions. They are pretty easy to
create (search for add print button to learn how to create
buttons). There should instructions on how to customise captions
somewhere on this forum. Customising means that you can also use
words, symbols, colours unique to your organisation.
3) Google elearning providers. Most use captivate and will
allow you to open samples or temporarily view selected modules.
This will give you great insight on what not to do and some good
ideas on what works well.
4) Timings: Using the above research, I got others to
complete the sample modules to get a feel for timings. The results
were clear, 10 mins good, 15 mins okay, 20 mins kind of okay, 30
mins bad, bad, bad. It's truly better to have a learner complete
2-3 short modules in 30 mins than one big monster. The other
benefit is that shorter files equal smaller size.
5) Narration: It's best to narrate each slide individually
(particularly for screen capture slides). You are more likely to
get it right on the first take, it's easier to edit and you don't
have to re-record the whole thing if you need to update it in
future. To get a slicker effect, use at least two voices: one male,
one female and use slightly different accents.
6) Screen capture slides: If you are recording filling out
long window based databse pages where the compulsory fields are
marked (eg. with a red asterisk) - you don't need to show how to
fill out every field. It's much easier for the learner (and you) to
show how to fill out the first few fields, then fade the screen
capture out, fade the end of the form in with the instructions on
what to do next. This will reduce your file size. In one of my
forms, this meant the removal of about 18 slides!
7) Auto captions: they are verbose (eg. 'Click on Print
Button' instead of 'Click Print'; 'Select the Print Preview item'
instead of 'Select Print Preview'). You have to edit them.
8) PC training syntax: Buttons and hyperlinks should normally
be 'click'; selections from drop down boxes or file lists are
normally 'select': Captivate sometimes mixes them up. Instructions
should always be written in the correct order: eg. Good: Click
'File', Select 'Print Preview'; Bad: Select 'Print Preview' from
the 'File Menu'. Button names, hyperlinks, selections are normally
written in bold
9) Instruction syntax: should always be written in an active
voice: eg. 'Click Options to open the printer menu' instead of
'When the Options button is clicked on, the printer menu will open'
10) Break all modules into chapters. Frame each chapter with
a chapter slide. It's also a good idea to show the Index page
before each chapter slide with a progress indicator (I use an
animated arrow to flash next to the name of the next chapter), I
use a start button rather a 'next' button for the start of each
chapter. You should always have a module overview with the purpose
of the course and a summary slide which states what was covered and
they have complete the module.
11) Put a transparent click button somewhere on each slide.
Set the properties of the click box to take the learner back to the
start of the current chapter by pressing F2. This allows them to
jump back to the start of their chapter at any time. You can also
do a similar thing on the index pages which jumps them to another
chapter.
12) Recording video capture: best to do it at normal speed
and be concious of where your mouse is. Minimise your clicks. Most
people (until they start working with captivate) are sloppy with
their mouse and you end up with lots of unnecessarily slides that
you have to delete out. The speed will default to how you recorded
it and this will reduce the amount of time you spend on changing
timings.
13) Captions: My rule of thumb is minimum of 4 seconds - and
longer depending on the amount of words. Eg. Click 'Print Preview'
is 4 seconds, a paragraph is longer. If you creating knowledge
based modules, make the timing long (eg. 2-3 minutes) and put in a
next button so that the learner can click when they are ready.
Also, narration means the slides will normally be slightly longer.
14) Be creative: Capitvate is desk bound. There are some
learners that just don't respond no matter how interactive
Captivate can be. Incorporate non-captivate and desk free
activities. Eg. As part of our OHS module, there is an activity
where the learner has to print off the floor plan, and then wander
around the floor marking on th emap key items such as: fire exits;
first aid kit, broom and mop cupboard, stationary cupboard, etc.
Good luck!

Best practice for setting or detecting screen size?

Hi All,
Trying to determine a best practice for setting or detecting the screen size. For playbook and iOS, I can set them. But for Android, the number of devices is too large so I'd rather detect. My first choice is to use the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth. This works fine if I set my stage properties with standard meta data:
[SWF(height="320", width="480", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
However, if I use the application descriptor file to set the stage dimentions (as suggested by Christian Cantrell here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/authoring_for_multiple_screen_sizes.html)
<initialWindow>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<width>320</width>
<height>480</height>
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
</initialWindow>
Then the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are not the correct numbers when my main class is added to the stage. Sometime after the main class is added to the stage, then those numbers are fine. Is there an event I can wait for to know that the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are correct?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the quick response! However, for some reason the heightPercent & widthPercent metadata tags are not working as expected for me.
I have a wrapper class that I target for compiling, WagErgApplePhone.as where I've got my metadata
[SWF(heightPercent="100%", widthPercent="100%", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
sets some stage properties
stage.quality=StageQuality.LOW;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
and instantiates my main class
var main:Main = new Main();
addChild(main);
my main class constructor even waits for the stage
public function Main(){
if (stage) init();
else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
in my init function, stage.stageHeight traces out as 375 (expecting 320).
i have a function which is called via a button press event by the user, and stage.stageHeight traces out correctly (320) there. that's what makes me think that if i wait long enough, i can get the correct stageHeight before init/drawing. but i'm not sure what event to listen for, or if there's another trick.
if i use Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY the correct values are provided for mobile, but these values are not useful for the desktop and web version of the app. if there's no other solution, i'll execute different code depending on platform.
again, for reference, my app descriptor:
<initialWindow>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<width>320</width>
<height>480</height>
<content>bin-iOS/WagErgApplePhone.swf</content>
<title>WAG ERG</title>
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
</initialWindow>
looking forward to any other ideas to try out & thanks so much for your thoughts! if you want to really dig in, this is an opensource project at code.google.com/p/wag-erg/

What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with the Dispatcher?

It seems as if the Dispatcher is restricting access to the Query Builder (/bin/querybuilder.json) as a best practice regarding security. However, the Calendar relies on this endpoint to build the events for the calendar. On Author / Publish this works fine but once we place the Dispatcher in front, the Calendar no longer works. We've noticed the same behavior on the Geometrixx site.
What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with Dispatcher?
Thanks in advance.

Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

Hello,
I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:
Users: 5 users on new iMacs (x3) and upgraded G4s (x2)
Video Editing Suite: Want to connect a new iMac and a Mac Pro, on an open login (multiple users)
All machines are to be able to connect to the network, peripherals and external hard drive. Also, I would like to setup drop boxes as well to easily share files between the computers (I was thinking of using the external harddrive for this).
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

Networking "best practice" for setting up a farm

Hi all.
We would like to set an OracleVM farm, and I have a question about "best practice" for
configuring the network. Some background:
- The hardware I have is comprised of machines with 4 gig-eth NICs each.
- The storage will be coming primarily from a backend NAS appliance (Netapp, FWIW).
- We have already allocated a separate VLAN for management.
- We would like to have HA capable VMs using OCFS2 (on top of NFS.)
I'm trying to decide between 2 possible configurations. The first would keep physical separation
between the mgt/storage networks and the DomU networks. The second would just trunk
everything together across all 4 NICs, something like:
Config 1:
- eth0 - management/cluster-interconnect
- eth1 - storage
- eth2/eth3 => bond0 - 8021q trunked, bonded interfaces for DomUs
Config 2:
- eth0/1/2/3 => bond0
Do people have experience or recommendation about the best configuration?
I'm attracted to the first option (perhaps naively) because CI/storage would benefit
from dedicated bandwidth and this configuration might also be more secure.
Regards,
Robert.

Option #4 (802.3ad) looks promising, but I don't know if this can be made to work across
separate switches.It can, if your switches support cross-switch trunking. Essentially, 802.3ad (also known as LACP or EtherChannel on Cisco devices) requires your switch to be properly configured to allow trunking across the interfaces used for the bond. I know that the high-end Cisco and Juniper switches do support LACP across multiple switches. In the Cisco world, this is called MEC (Multichassis EtherChannel).
If you're using low-end commodity-grade gear, you'll probably need to use active/passive bonds if you want to span switches. Alternatively, you could use one of the balance algorithms for some bandwitch increase. You'd have to run your own testing to determine which algorithm is best suited for your workload.
The Linux Foundation's Net:Bonding article has some great information on bonding in general, particularly on the various bonding methods for high availability:

Best practiceS for setting up Macs on Network

Greetings.
We have six Macs on our Windows Server network; three iMacs and three laptops. We have set up all the machines and they are joined to the Active Directory. In the past, we have always created local users on the machines and then "browsed" to the server shares and mounted the them. We've learned things have improved/changed over the years and we're just now realizing we can probably have the machines set up to work better. So, I have a couple of questions for "best practices" when setting up each of the machines.
1. Since we’re in a network environment, should we not set up “local logins/users” and instead have users login using their AD login? It seems having a local account creates some conflicts with the server since upgrading to lion.
2. Should we set the computer to not ask for a “list of users” and instead ask for a username and password for logins?
3. For the user that uses the machine most often, they can still customize their desktop when they use an AD login, correct?
4. Should we set up Mobile User Accounts? What exactly does this do?
Any other advice on how we should best be setting up the clients for our environment to make sure we are following best practices would be great!
Thanks for any help!
Jay

Best practices for 2 x DNS servers with 2 x sites

I am curious if someone can help me with best practices for my DNS servers. Let me give my network layout first.
I have 1 site with 2 x Windows 2012 Servers (1 GUI - 10.0.0.7, the other CORE - 10.0.0.8) the 2nd site connected via VPN has 2 x Windows 2012R2 Servers (1 GUI - 10.2.0.7, the other CORE - 10.2.0.8) All 4 servers are promoted to DC's and have DNS services
running.
Here goes my questions:
Site #1
DC-01 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.0.0.8, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.2.0.7 & 10.2.0.8)
DC-02 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.0.0.7, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.2.0.7 & 10.2.0.8)
Site #2
DC-01 - NIC IP address for DNS server #1 set to 10.2.0.8, DNS server #2 set to 127.0.0.1 (should I add my 2nd sites DNS servers under Advanced as well? 10.0.0.7 & 10.0.0.8)

Under the DNS management > Forward Lookup Zones > _msdcs.mydomain.local
> properties > Name Servers should I have all of my other DNS servers, or should I have my WAN DNS servers? In a single server scenario I always put my WAN DNS server but a bit unsure in this scenario.
Under the DNS management > Forward Lookup Zones > _msdcs.mydomain.local > properties > General > Type should all servers be set to
Active Directory - Integrated > Primary Zone? Should any of these be set to
Secondary Zone?

Site2

DC2: Primary 10.2.0.8. Secondary 10.2.0.7. Tertiary 127.0.0.1
The DC's should automatically register in msdcs. Do not register external DNS servers in msdcs or it will lead to issues. Yes, I recommend all zones to be set to AD-integrated. No need to allow zone transfers as AD replication will take care
of this for you. Same for mydomain.local.
Hope this helps.

Best Practices for Setting up a Windows 2012 R2 STD Domain Controller in a Remote Site

So I'm looking for an article or writeup similar to the "Adding Domain Controllers in Remote Sites" TechNet article but for Windows Server 2012 STD R2. Here is my scenario:
1. I want to setup the domain controller at Site A where the primary domain controller is located. The primary domain controller is Windows Server 2008 R2.
2. Once the DC is setup I plan on leaving it on our network for a few days before shipping it to remote Site B for installation
Other key items:
1. The remote Site B will have a different IP range than Site A but will be connected to Site A via a single VPN tunnel. All the DCs that replicate with each other are on the same domain.
2. The 2012 DC that I setup for Site B (same domain in same forest) will be a DHCP, DNS, and WSUS server all replicating to the primary DC at Site A
Questions:
1. What items can I setup while it's at Site A without effecting or conflicting with the existing network and domain controller? Can I setup a scope once the DHCP role is added?
2. All of our DCs replicate through Sites and Services, do I have to manually add this to our primary DC for the new DC going to remote Site B? Or when does this happen automatically when I promote the DC?
All and all I'm just looking for a list of Best Practices for 2012 or a Step by Step Guide. Any help would be appreciated.

Almost all of Cisco's SBCS market is the small and medium business space. Most, if not all of these SMB's have a Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 or 2008. It will be critical, In order for Cisco to be considered as a purchase option, that the UC-5x0 integrates well into these networks.
To that end, I see a lot of talk here about how to implement parts and pieces of this, but no guidance from Cisco, no labs and no best practices or other documentation. If I am wrong, please correct me.
I am currently stumbling through and validating these configurations myself, Once complete, I will post detailed recommendations. However, it would have been nice to have a lab to follow instead of having to learn from each mistake.
Some of the challanges include;
1. Where should the UC-540 be placed: As the gateway for QOS or behind a validated UC-5x0 router/security appliance combination
2. Should the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server handle DCHP (as Microsoft's documentation says it must), or must the UC-540 handle DHCP to prevent loss of features? What about a DHCP relay scheme?
3. Which device should handle DNS?
My documentation (and I recommend that any Cisco Lab/Best Practice guidence include it as well) will assume the following real-world scenario, the same which applies to a majority of my SMB clients;
1. A UC-540 device utilizing SIP for the cost savings
2. High Speed Internet with 5 static routable IP addresses
3. An existing Microsoft Small Business Server 2003/8
4. An additional Line of Business Application or Terminal Server that utilizes the same ports (i.e. TCP 80/443/3389) as the UC-540 and the SBS, but on seperate routable IP's (Making up crazy non-standard port redirections is not an option).
5. A employee who teleworks from various places that provide a seat and a network jack, which is not under our control (i.e. a employees home, a clients' office, or a telework center). This teleworker should use the built in VPN feature within the SPA or 7925G phones because we will not have administrative access to any third party's VPN/firewall.
Your thoughs appreciated.

Progress Report;
The following changes have been made to the router in support of the previously detailed scenario. Everything appears to be working as intended.
DHCP is still on the UC540 for now. DNS is being performed by the SBS 2008.
Interestingly, the CCA still works. The NAT module even shows all the private mapped IP's, but no the corresponding public IP's. I wouldnt recommend trying to make any changes via the CCA in the NAT module.
To review, this configuration assumes the following;
1. The UC540 has a public IP address of 4.2.2.2
2. A Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 using an internal IP of 192.168.10.10 has an external IP of 4.2.2.3.
3. A third line of business application server with www, https and RDP that has an internal IP of 192.168.10.11 and an external IP of 4.2.2.4
First, backup your current configuration via the CCA,
Next, telent into the UC540, login, edit, cut and paste the following to 1:1 NAT the 2 additional public IP addresses;
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.10 25 4.2.2.3 25 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.10 80 4.2.2.3 80 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.10 443 4.2.2.3 443 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.10 987 4.2.2.3 987 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.10 1723 4.2.2.3 1723 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.10 3389 4.2.2.3 3389 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.11 80 4.2.2.4 80 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.11 443 4.2.2.4 443 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.10.11 3389 4.2.2.4 3389 extendable
Next, you will need to amend your UC540's default ACL.
First, copy what you have existing as I have done below (in bold), and paste them into a notepad.
Then, im told the best practice is to delete the entire existing list first, finally adding the new rules back, along with the addition of rules for your SBS an LOB server (mine in bold) as follows;
int fas 0/0
no ip access-group 104 in
no access-list 104
access-list 104 remark auto generated by SDM firewall configuration##NO_ACES_24##
access-list 104 remark SDM_ACL Category=1

access-list 104 permit udp host 192.168.10.1 eq 5060 any
access-list 104 permit udp host 192.168.10.1 any eq 5060
access-list 104 permit udp any any range 16384 32767
access-list 104 deny   ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
access-list 104 deny   ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any
access-list 104 deny   ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
access-list 104 deny   ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
access-list 104 deny   ip host 255.255.255.255 any
access-list 104 deny   ip host 0.0.0.0 any
access-list 104 deny   ip any any log
int fas 0/0
ip access-group 104 in
Lastly, save to memory
wr mem
One final note - if you need to use the Microsoft Windows VPN client from a workstation behind the UC540 to connect to a VPN server outside your network, and you were getting Error 721 and/or Error 800...you will need to use the following commands to add to ACL 104;
(config)#ip access-list extended 104
(config-ext-nacl)#7 permit gre any any
Im hoping there may be a better way to allowing VPN clients on the LAN with a much more specific and limited rule. I will update this post with that info when and if I discover one.
Thanks to Vijay in Cisco Tac for the guidence.

Best practice for oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM

Did any one tried/installed Oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM and CRS ?
What is the best practice?
1. separate home for CRS, ASM and Oracle Database?
2. separate home for CRS and same home for ASM and Oracle Darabase?
we set up the test environment with separate CRS, ASM and Oracle database homes, but we have tons of issues with the listener, spfile and tnsnames.ora files. So, seeking advise from the gurus who implimeted/tested the same ?

I am getting ready to install the 10gR2 database software (10gR2 Clusterware was just installed ) and I want to have a home for ASM and another for database as you suggest. I have been told that 10gR2 was to have a smaller set of binaries that can be used for the ASM home ... but I am not sure how I go about installing it. The first look at the installer does not seem to make it obvious...Is it a custom build option?
