Best Practice Moving to iPrint Appliance

I'm working with a site that has some old NDPS printing on NetWare 6.5 and some OES based iPrinting. We are moving to the iPrint appliance. While you can migrate/import printers from the old system into the appliance, I haven't figured out the best way to deal with the clients. What have others done to switch the clients over to the appliance based printers? Are there any tricks here? Looking for what others have done. Thanks.

  • Best practice - moving home directories

    Hello all,
    I was looking for insight on best practices for moving home directories.
    I was thinking that using the migration tool would be best to move the directories and then using dsrazor to remap all of the home directories for our users.
    We are running Netware 6.5 SP8. I have added a 2TB RAID 10 set to one of our servers which is where I am planning on moving all of the user directories.
    Thoughts/suggestions are welcome.

    First test went quite smoothly.
    Steve D.
    When you move data (using Windows explorer ect) across volumes the trustee rights drop off. If moving from NW to NW use Server Consilidation and Migration Tool. If moving from NW to OES Linux use miggui. The SCMT has a few other features like project planning and verification.

  • FCPX 10.1: Best practice moving libraries (files)?

    In the past, FCPX encouraged us to moves files WITHIN the application, through the UI.
    Does 10.1. now encourage us to move/delete files (libraries) "under the hood?"--in the finder? Given a choice, what is the best practice?

  • Best Practices for NCS/PI Server and Application Monitoring question

    Hello,
    I am deploying a virtual instance of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 (1.2.1.012) on an ESX infrastructure. This is being deployed in an enterprise enviroment. I have questions around the best practices for moniotring this appliance. I am looking to monitor application failures (services down, db issues) and "hardware" (I understand this is a virtual machine, but statistics on the filesystem and CPU/Memory is good).
    Firstly, I have enabled via the CLI the snmp-server and set the SNMP trap host destination. I have created a notification receiver for the SNMP traps inside the NCS GUI and enabled the "System" type alarm. This type includes alarms like NCS_DOWN and PI database is down. I am trying to understand what the difference between enabling SNMP-SERVER HOST via the CLI and setting the Notification destination inthe GUI is? Also how can I generate a NCS_DOWN alarm in my lab. Doing NCS stop does not generate any alarms. I have not been able to find much information on how to generate this as a test.
    Secondly, how and which processes should I be monitoring from the Management Station? I cannot easily identify the main NCS procsses from the output of ps -ef when logged in the shell as root.
    Thanks guys!

    1.) What is the cost of having the scope in a <jsp:useBean> tag set to 'session'? I am aware that there are a list of scopes like page, application, etc. and that if i use 'session' my variable will live for as long as that session is alive. (did i get this right?). You should rather look to the functional requirements instead of costs. If the bean need to be session scoped (e.g. maintain the logged in user), then do it so. If it just need to be request scoped (e.g. single page form data), then keep it request scoped.
    2.)If the JSP Page where i use that <useBean> is to be accessed hundred of times a day, will it compensate my server resources? Right now i am using the Sun Glassfish Server.It will certainly eat resources. Just supply enough CPU speed and memory to a server. You cannot expect that a webserver running at a Pentium 500MHz with 256MB of memory can flawlessly serve 100 simultaneous users at the same second. But you may expect that it can serve 100 users per 24 hour.
    3.) Can you suggest best practice in memory management given the architecture i described above?Just write code so that it doesn't unnecessarily eat memory. Only allocate memory if your application need to do so. You should rather let the hardware depend on the application requirements, not to let the application depend on the hardware specs.
    4.)Also, I have implemented connection pooling in my architecture, but my application is to be used by thousands of clients everyday.. Can the Sun Glassfish Server take care of that or will I have to purchase a powerful sever?Glassfish is just an application server software, it is not server hardware. Your concerns are rather hardware related.

    Hello John,
    This session is on Failover Functionality on all Cisco Firewalls, im not a geek on QOS however i have the answer for what you need. The way to limit traffic would be to enable QOS Policing on your Firewalls. The requirement that you have is about limiting 4 different tunnels to be utilizing the set limits and drop any further packets. This is called Traffic Policing. I tried out the following in my lab and it looks good.

  • Best practices whil using Iron Port as MTA..

    Snippet from there:
    Because everyone's mail flow is different (my company will receive different targeted spam than yours, for instance), obtaining the maximum potential can be as much an art as a science.
    Since we often are asked what extra steps can be taken to get the maximum potential out of your IronPort, we've published an external Knowledge Base article that lists *several* things you can do to stop as much spam as possible:

  • Best practice for moving from a G5 to a new Mac with SL

    I am receiving my new iMac today (27") and am very excited
    However I want to move over using the best practices to assure that I remain excited and not frustrated
    My initial thoughts are to boot it up and doe the initial set up - to move my iPhoto library over and to use migration assistance to move the rest of my data files
    Then to install all of the extra software that I can find the packages for from the original installation disks
    And then finally to use migration assistant again to move over any software that I can not find original disks for (I've moved from Mac to Mac to Mac over and over and some of the software goes back to OS 9 (and won't run anymore I guess)
    Is this a good way
    OR
    will I mess up doing it this way
    OR
    am I spending far too much time worrying about moving old problems over and would be better off to just turn MA loose and let it do its thing form the beginning?
    BTW - mail crashes a lot on my existing system - pretty much everything else seems ok - except iPhoto is slow - hoping that the new Intel dual core will help that
    LN

    Migration Assistant is not a general file moving tool. MA will migrate your Applications and Home folders transferring only your third-party applications. MA will transfer any application support folders required by your applications, your preferences, and network setup. You do not have a choice of what will be migrated other than the above. MA cannot determine whether anything transferred is compatible with Snow Leopard. I recommend you look at the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
    Intel In Macs
    Apple Guide to Universal Applications
    MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
    MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
    will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
    MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
    Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
    Revised 1/6/2009
    In general you are better off reinstalling any third-party software that is PPC-only. Otherwise update your software so it's compatible with Snow Leopard.
    Do not transfer any OS 9 software because it's unsupported. You can transfer documents you want to keep.
    Buy an external hard drive to use for backup.

  • Best Practice: files that should never be moved or deleted

    Hi there.
    I've just gone through my computer for the first time in a couple of years and done a massive cleanup, but without really knowing the consequences I guess you could say and now things are acting a little strange.
    +(I feel silly even writing this, knowing that all the IT heads out there are sighing a unanimous 'what an idiot'.)+
    Can anyone please provide a sort of 'best practice' guide for the files/file types that should absolutely be on the harddrive, or in the apps folder, utilities folder, etc? and if there are any that should 'never' be deleted?
    .. or even some program that sort of saves you from yourself by keeping those files safe from being a.) moved and b.) deleted
    Would be a huge help!
    Thanks in advance ~

    Apple has already hidden about half of the folders on a typical OS X install. The ones that make up the Unix core of the OS. So unless you know how to find those, you'll never have to worry about them.
    Aside from that, you just want to keep away from the System folder and any of the Library folders. Nothing else should be too crucial to the OS running.
    Of course if you wanted to elaborate on "a little strange" we might be able to be a bit more helpful.

  • Transports:  Best practice in reversing old transports not moved to PRD

    Hello Guru's,
    I have a lot of old transports moved from DEV to QAS that don't work or are irrelevant that need to be reversed.  These transports were made by a consultant no longer with the company and there is no documentation of what was changed.
    What is the best method in reversing these changes? 
    I appreciate your help!

    Next time, don't ask for the best practice. You would likely get more response if you simply ask "What would you do..?"

  • Best practice for moving images between projects?

    Hey all,
    I have a project that has an album inside of it. I want to move the album, containing all of the photographs to a new project. If I drag the photos individually to the new project it moves them successfully although they now don't belong to an album in their new project. If I drag the album itself it moves the album and photographs but leaves the photos in the original project as well.
    Does anyone have some best practice ideas for this scenario?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    As you have discovered if the drop target is the project the images move projects. If the drop target is an album the images show up in the album but do not actually move anywhere. Moving albums does nothing to move masters. So...
    Select all of the images in the album. Drag them to the new project and then drag the album to the new project. Simple enough.

  • Moving Mailserver from Xserve G4 to intel, Best practice?, Recommendations?

    Hi!
    I will receive a new Xserve intel soon and possibly want to move mail services from the currently used Xserve G4 (which is working fine) to the new Xserve intel.
    The Xserve G4 is running a heavily modified mail setup thanks to pterobyte's excellent tutorials on fixing, updating, extending, dare I say "pimping" Mac OS X Server's mailserver setup.
    What I want to achieve in the long run:
    Have Mail services run on the Xserve intel and have the Xserve G4 work as a mailbackup. (They will be connected via permanent VPN, but be in different LANs on different ISPs). They shall be serving email for at least three distinct domains then. (All low volume. currently the G4 is serving a single domain using WGM aliases.) I want (and need) to switch to postfix aliases.
    What I need to consider:
    My client desperately wants/needs to update to Leopard server once it becomes available. Both Xserve definitely will be upgraded to Leopard Server then.
    Time is not an issue at the moment as the G4 is working very well. I want to keep the work at a minimum in regard to the Leopard switch. I am fine with an interim solution, even if it is somewhat inelegant, as long as it runs fine. The additional domains are not urgent at the moment. It will be fine when they transfer to the intel Xserve once we run Leopard.
    Questions:
    Does it pay to do all the work moving from the G4 to the intel (I'd need to compile and configure all the SpamAssassin, ClamAV, Amavisd-New, etc. again...) move all the Mailboxes, Users, IMAP and SMTP. In regard that there will be a clean install once Leopard comes out. (I am definitely no fan of Updating a Mac OS X server. Experience has proven to me that this does not work reliably.)
    Are there any recommendations or best practice hints from your experience when moving a server from PPC to intel?
    Thanks in advance
    MacLemon

    By all means do a clean install. If time is not an issue, make sure Leopard has been on the market 2-3 months before you do so.
    Here is what I would do:
    1. Clean install of Intel Server
    2. Update all components
    3. Copy all needed configuration files from PPC to Intel Server
    4. Backup PPC mail server with mailbfr
    5. Restore mail backup with mailbfr to Intel Server
    This is all that needs to be done.
    If you want to keep the G4 as a backup server, just configure it as a secondary MX in case your primary is down. Trying to keep mailboxes redundant is only possible in a cluster and a massive pain to configure (Leopard should change that though).

  • Best Practice after moving office and upgrading network

    Happy Friday all,
    I wanted to know what the best practice is after some pretty dramatic changes on the network. We have just moved office, replaced switches, changed Internet service and got rid of lots of stuff we didn't need any more.
    What is the best way forward to clean up the spiceworks inventory etc.
    Is it possible to just delete everything and start again.
    Short of a brand new installation (which I am leaning towards) are there any alternatives?
    Thanks in advance,

    Best practices applied to all developments whether it is R/3, BI modelling or Reporting and as per the best practice we do development in Development system, testing in testing box and finally deploy successful development to production. yes for user analysis purpose, user can do adhoc analysis or in some scenario they create user specific custom queries (sometimes reffere as X-query created by super user).
    So it is always to do all yr developement in Development Box and then transport to Production after successful QA testing.

  • HTTP/HTTPS on the same ACE VIP - best practice

    I currently have a VIP representing one server farm that contains two http servers:-
    class-map match-all VIP-HTTP-xxxxx.co.uk
    2 match virtual-address 10.79.18.10 tcp eq www
    class-map match-all VIP-SSL-xxxxx.co.uk
    2 match virtual-address 10.79.18.10 tcp eq https
    I have port 80 and 443 open on the VIP and SSL termination performed on the ACE (both http servers are the same and configured for default load balancing behaviour - I've also specified port 80 for ACE to server traffic). Having 80 and 443 on the same VIP (meaning the site can be accessed via one NAT'd external IP) came from a request from the business so the site can have one domain.
    The majority of the http server(s) web content is standard http but there is a specific sub-directory of interactive forms that requires https termination.
    I have a couple of queries with regards to URL re-writes:-
    1) Is the SSL URL re-write functionality limited to just the host part of the URL or can the ACE enforce https for specific sub-directories, i.e. can the ACE intercept and re-write a URL if a user tries to go to a particular https page/directory using http (by just deleting the s from the URL within their browser)? A possible example being:-
    ssl url rewrite location "www\.cisco\.com\secure-forms"
    2) Can the ACE re-direct users back to a standard http page if they try to 'secure' their session by changing http to https within their browser (basically the opposite of the above).
    Basically as I have 80 and 443 on the same VIP I'm interested in the best practice methods of enforcing http and https content segregation using just the ACE (as opposed to having Apache doing the re-writes, etc).
    Web services functionality (in terms of SSL and URL re-writes) has traditionally fallen within the domain of a dedicated web development team (who use Apache, Tomcat, etc.) but the introduction of the ACE as a load balancing appliance that is primarily managed by the networks team but with functionality that crosses traditional team boundaries has resulted in lots of questions from web development around what functionality can be moved from Apache, etc. and onto the ACE?
    Any advice or personal experiences would be gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Back again!
    Could someone possibly cast their eye over the following config?
    The only bit I'm not sure on (syntactically and whether it can even be done on the ACE) is how to specify a DO NOT match regular expression, i.e. how to capture https URLs that do not match my secure pages so I can re-direct the request back to the normal http URL (class-map type http loadbalance Non-Secure_Pages). What I'd like to avoid is re-directing requests that don't need to be, i.e. re-directing all requests that don't match /secure back to http when the majority will be correctly going to a normal http URL :-
    rserver host server1
    description *** HTTP server 1 ***
    ip address 10.100.194.2
    inservice
    rserver host server2
    description *** HTTP server 2 ***
    ip address 10.100.194.3
    inservice
    rserver redirect REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS
    webhost-redirection https://www.website.co.uk/%p 302
    inservice
    rserver redirect REDIRECT_TO_HTTP

    class-map type http loadbalance Secure_Pages
    match http url /secure.*
    class-map type http loadbalance Non-Secure_Pages

    class-map match-all VIP-HTTP-website.co.uk
    2 match virtual-address 10.79.18.10 tcp eq www
