Best way to integrate osx server with ms server 2004

I want to be able to manage files & users from either server, the OSX server & Windows Server 2003. What's the best road map & best practices. It's a small network of 5 computers in total. Thanks for all the help. Ben

first of all, to get rid of the duplicates, you tell iTunes to consolidate Library.
I think you may be missing the idea of what iTunes does for you. If you have content, like music, that you want to find the file of, you right click the name of the file in itunes and then "show in finder" . For things like iChat, you can simply drag and drop your music into the chat window from itunes, just like it was finder. iTunes organizes your media for you so you don't have to go looking for it.
The same thing goes with videos.
There is no reason to have two of the same files on your computer. Think of iTunes like finder, only it plays media too.
Not everyone uses itunes. Things like quicktime player, after you do a recording, will save the content into your videos folder. They're not on itunes but it uses your video folder to save the recordings. This is just one example of how your video sidebar icon folder will still be useful.
Delete the backups you have of your media unless they're in a format the itunes doesn't support, like lossess formats such as Flac, because it is pointless and wasteful to have two of the same files for music and video on your computer.

Best way to update osx security updates with ARD?

What's the best way to manage OSX security updates to have them install auto from a local location instead of downloading from Apple.
This also applies to adobe updates.
Is ARD designed for this?

Download them to your computer or whichever one you have setup as your task server and push the install packages out to the clients from there.

Best way to fill a datagird with A LOT of data?

What's the best way to fill a datagrid with A LOT of data.
I'm talking about something like 10,000 rows. Can the datagrid
handle it? No screen is large enough to show 10,000 records..... is
there a way to load 50, and then when a user scrolls down it loads
the next 50 etc...?

Right. It's not recommended that you load 10,000 rows into
the datagrid at once. Using the data management service with paging
enabled is a much better solution. See the Configuring the Data
Management Service chapter in the Flex2 Developer's Guide for more
info.

Best way to build a website with hundreds of pages

What is the best way to build a website with hundreds of pages that include businesses in every city of the U.S. I will be building it in Dreamweaver CS4 and pulling the data from an MS Excel spreadsheet.
I started building it by building the first page and then saving a new page with new data and so on.
There must be a way to pull from the Excel doc without copying and pasting each page of data, and there must be a way to build this site smaller and easier to make changes when needed.
Thanks

You already have other people addressing the DB issues - so I will bring up the other... You are just saving a copy as a new page and then copy and pasting the changed content into it?
What you want to do is take the first page, once you have your design done - and save it as a template (file - save as - Dreamweaver Template).
Then you want to select the areas (most likely the divs you have content in) that will have content changed, and select the div or p or whatever element... and go to Insert - Template Objects - Editible Region.
Make sure you don't made editable the areas that are the primary design - such as a logo element, a header image, the navigation etc. If you want to change those - you would do so by making the change on the template, and then it will automatically update all pages made based on that template.
Once you are done setting up the templates - go to your new page and choose Modify - Templates - Apply Template To Page
Select the template you just created (note it will be placed inside of a new folder titled "templates" automatically by Dreamweaver).
Now, any of the areas you selected to add different content into will be selectable, and you can copy/paste or however you are doing so.
Good luck

Best way to share a video with someone in another city...

What is the best way to share a video with someone in another city?
I know that FCPX contains all sorts of share options which create different resolutions and file sizes appropriate for different sites like YouTube, Facebook, and others. But how to create the videos really isn't the problem.
I want to know how to share them. I'm creating videos that are ultimately to be viewed on the internet. When I have a completed video, I want to show it to the person who it is for before I finalize it. I know that if it very small, I could email it. And if it's larger, I could use something like Dropbox. But I don't necessarily want them to have a copy of it (though I could do that and put a watermark on it).
I'd like to upload it to a site like YouTube or Vimeo, but those sites seem to be about sharing videos with a wide audience. I know you can make a video private on YouTube, but, from what I've read, they permanently have the right to use the content, which I definitely don't want.
So what's the best way to do this? I'm going to have to do it regularly, so I'm willing to pay for a service if it assures privacy and does not try to assert some right to my content.
I know there is an issue to be considered with people screen capturing content, but I'll use a watermark to lessen the chances of that.

Hi Russ--
I'll have to read through Vimeo's terms of service, but I have to think they're asserting some right to the content like YouTube does.
Plus, these are commercial videos, and I don't think they allow that. Of course, if they're private, I'm obviously not trying to sell anything. But I have to think that it somehow is against their TOS since me posting a bunch of private videos that nobody can see really doesn't do them any good at all.

Best way to remove osx.1,5

I never use osx on my G3 iMac and would love to remove it so as just to run on 9.2.2 .. Not sure of the best way to remove osx and all the associated applications.
Any help would be appreciated.
Davit

If you can still boot to OS X, use the freeware AppDelete @ http://reggie.ashworth.googlepages.com/appdelete to delete your applications & associated files.
Once you have deleted the OS X applications & files, reboot into OS 9.2. Then drag the OS X system folder to the Trash & empty trash. Some of the OS X invisible files may still remain on the HD, but they won't hinder the OS 9 operation & shouldn't take up too much space on your HD.
What version of OS X do you have installed? Most users want to delete OS 9, not OS X. Most OS 9 browsers & mail programs are (almost?) obsolete for today's web. In the near future your OS 9 browser may not work on many websites & you'll want an operational browser which requires OS X. Unless you need more space on your hard drive, I would leave OS X installed.

The associations are set up at time of installation so that if a user right clicks a claimed file, the OS should offer to send the document to (possibly a group of programs which include) our application.
I am not sure what you mean by "program to be able to add" shortcuts. Do you mean the application might need to do this after first being installed?
What exactly are the menu items the program tries to add? e.g. 'open', 'print', 'add to archive', 'crash & burn'...

What's the best way to create XML file with a schema from a database table?

Hi,
I want to create an XML file from a database table (which has over 600 columns) using XML schema (.xsd file). I want to know the best way to do this.
The output XML file is NOT a direct data dump from the DB table, there�re some logic around it, such as the XML file has some hierarchy with repeating tags.
I have done this using JAXB by creating Java classes form XML schema, but I don�t want to map 600 DB columns to these Java classes manually, and loop through the record set to create repeating tags.
I know there are few tools around now like MapForce (Altova), how do people do these now?
Thanks,
Chandi

Can you use a schema when we compose XML doc from Database tables?
Actually, I'm using SQL Server (sorry, wrong forum). But, I thought a Java tool would have a solution for me.

What is the best way to send auto mail with excel(generated by query) attachment?

Hello,
Need to generate first data from stored procedure and the save it to an excel file and then send mail with the same excel file.
So am searching for the best way so that i could do all process in a single task with daily or monthly schedule.
As per my understanding, we could it via SSIS and by sql server using
sp_send_dbmail.
But i have to generate excel file first by stored procedure and then end it by mail.
So please suggest the best way to accomplish all task in a single task.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
As shown in the blog mentioned by Syed, to delete records from the Excel file, you need to use Update OpenRowset command to update the corresponding rows to blank.
Alternatively, you can also use Derived Column Transformation or Conditional Split Transformation after the OLE DB Source so that you can replace the target rows with NULL before exporting to Excel destination or just redirect the expected records to the
Excel destination.
Then, in the Control Flow, you can add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel file by setting it as the attachment. The following screenshot is for your reference:

Best way to handle mobile accounts with large itunes/photo libraries

What is the best way to handle mobile accounts, but not syncing itunes/photos libraries?
I have a time capsule so I can move itunes and photos libraries for each user if need be.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've done a great deal of work with mobile accounts in Snow Leopard and I'm now having a "play" with Lion. To be honest you have to sit down and think about why you need mobile accounts.
If your user only uses one computer then your safer having a local account backed up by a network Time Machine, this avoids the many many woes that the Servers FileSyncAgent brings to the table.
If your users are going to be accessing multiple computers on the network and leaving the network then a mobile account is good for providing a uniform user experience and access to files etc. However, your users will have to make a choice as to whether they want their iPhoto libraries on one Local machine (backed up by Time Machine) or whether they want their library to be hosted on the server and not part of the Mobile Home Sync schedule (adding ~/Pictures to the excluded items on the home sync settings).
With the latter, users will be able to access their iPhoto libraries on any computer when they are within the network (as it's accessed from the users server home folder).
With the first option the user would have their iPhoto library on one computer (say the laptop they used the most) but then would not be able to access it from other computers they log on to.
iPhoto libraries are a pain, and I'm working hard to come up with a workaround. If your users moved over to using Apeture then you could include the aperture library as part of the home sync thanks to Deeport (http://deepport.net/archives/os-x-portable-home-directories-and-syncing-flaw-wit h-bundles/)
He does suggest that the same would work with IPhoto libraries - but it doesn't for a number of mysterious reasons regarding how the OS recognizes thie iPhoto bundle (it does so differently compared to Apeture).
Hope this helps...
