Best way to replace WSUS Server that isn't working?

Hi, this is a followup (aka admission of defeat) to the post linked below. Our SCCM installation was done in a hurry by one of my Coworkers about two months ago, and there are a few areas which are incomplete.   One of them happens
to be software updates.   I have spent a great deal of time trying to troubleshoot why our clients aren't updating, and am realizing that my time might be better spent just replacing the WSUS server.
Our setup: All servers are hosted on Hyper-v. SCCM 2012R2 is on server 2012R2. The sql server runs on sql server 2012, on seperate 2012R2 machine. WSUS is currently set up on a 2012 R2 machine, but it isn't working. The WSUS
server is configured to use the same SQL server instance as the SCCM server.
If I take the step of replacing the WSUS machine, what would the best path be? Should I:
Remove the software update point site system role as as described at the end of this document,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712312.aspx    then just turn off the current wsus server?
If so, do I need to worry about the SQL server, or can I just go about configuring a new WSUS server and adding it back in to SCCM?
If anyone can point me to their favorite list of step by step instructions for getting software updates working with SCCM, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kevin

Yes, Thank you! I did reinstall WSUS on a new server, which turned out not to be the root of my problem (Although, confirming that it was done properly was worth the time).
After reinstalling WSUS, I was still getting the error:
Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to: Server and Policy NOT CONFIGURED WUAHandler 4/9/2014 5:43:01 PM 3344 (0x0D10)
After a bit more searching, I found someone suggesting setting the "Allow signed updates" group policy to not configured, in addition to the "Specify intranet Microsoft Update Service Location".
I also read that the SCCM client will take care of most update settings, so I also set "Configure Automatic Updates", and "Turn on recommended updates via automatic updates" to Not Configured, and my Endpoint Protection began updating nicely.
Thanks for pointing me to Gerry's site, it's a great resource!
Thanks also for helping.

Best way to replace move in iDVD project?

Hello,
I have an iDVD project started and realized I wanted to change a couple details in the iMovie I imported to the project. I can go back and correct the iMovie, but what's the best way to replace the current movie in the iDVD project with the revised iMovie? I'd rather not have to start a new iDVD project and add the pictures to the drop zones etc. Thank you, Rick H.

I forgot that if I hit 'return' the forum cuts what I write. Once I've got a movie in an iDVD project, what's the best way to replace that movie with a revised version (if I realize I need to make a couple changes in iMovie? Do you just go to the map and manually delete everything except the main title? Thanks, Rick.

The best way to replace the internal hard drive

Hi,
I have a MacBook with a 160gb hard drive which has been partitioned into two partitions one for OSX (130gb) and the other for Windows 7(30gb) and as you can imagine 30gigs for windows is almost nothing, the OS itself is taking a big percentage of its capacity, so I would like to expand both partitions by having a bigger hard drive installed but I was wondering what would bethe best way to do this so I don’t have to reinstall OSX and Windows 7, I have heard about Super Duper for OSX I don’t know if a similar software exists for Windows, well I don't even know if this is the way to go. So my question would is...
What would be the best way to replace an internal hard drive and have everything moved including the Operating Systems (OSX Lion and Windows7)?
Can someone be so kind and tell me the procedure I should follow to accomplish this task? I’m not expecting a step by step tutorial but if you could list the tools needed and a brief procedure it would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I’m using Boot Camp for the Windows 7 installation.
Thanks a lot.

For a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here's instructions on replacingthe hard drive http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then partition and format the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-5-SATA-HDD-HARD-DRIVE-EXTERNAL-ENCLOSURE-CASE-BOX-/120 636286623?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item1c167ba69f
For copying the Windows partition I like WinClone http://download.cnet.com/Winclone/3000-2242_4-172338.html
After you've installed your Mac OS with Carbon Copy Cloner (or SuperDuper) on the new drive create a new Windows partition with Boot Camp and copy your WinClone copy to it with Winclone.

Best way to Replace OLD Time Capsule with a new one

What is the best way to replace an old Time capsule with a new Time Capsule in an existing wireless network?

IMHO..
Start over..
Put the new TC in place and configure .. completely differently to the old one. That means you have to go around and reset everything to connect if you use wireless.. and you should forget all the old configuration beforehand.
You can of course try and slip it in using identical names and identical settings.. but the computers are not fooled.. the BSSID is different. And other issues tend to arise.
Use naming that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
See Pondini post C9 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
It may take more time to start with.. depending on how many devices you have.. but in the end, you can get much less problems out the other side.. which are extraordinarily hard to diagnose and fix..
But that is IMHO.. others are welcome to dispute that and may find a full swap using old settings copied to a file and copied back to the new TC work fine.
There are any number of posts around about doing just that.
I will post one if I see it..
I do confess to being a bit of a purist when it comes to this stuff.. but then I used to do computer support and trying to fix the messes people got themselves into .. inevitably they tried to cut corners.. instead of doing the setup from scratch.

What is the best way to replace the Inline Views for better performance ?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9i ,
What is the best way to replace the Inline Views for better performance. I see there are lot of performance lacking with Inline views in my queries.
Please suggest.

WITH plus /*+ MATERIALIZE */ hint can do good to you.
see below the test case.
SQL> create table hx_my_tbl as select level id, 'karthick' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into hx_my_tbl select level id, 'vimal' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
5 rows created.
SQL> create index hx_my_tbl_idx on hx_my_tbl(id)
2 /
Index created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'hx_my_tbl',cascade=>true)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Now this a normal inline view
SQL> select a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
2 from (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) a,
3 (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) b
4 where a.id = b.id
5 and a.name <> b.name
6 /
Execution Plan

1 0 HASH JOIN (Cost=7 Card=2 Bytes=48)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'HX_MY_TBL' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=2 Bytes=24)

5 4 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)
Now i use the with with the materialize hint
SQL> with my_view as (select /*+ MATERIALIZE */ id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1)
2 select a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
3 from my_view a,

4 3 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)
5 1 HASH JOIN (Cost=5 Card=1 Bytes=46)
6 5 VIEW (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=46)

9 8 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'SYS_TEMP_0FD9D6967_3C610F9' (TABLE (TEMP)) (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=24)
here you can see the table is accessed only once then only the result set generated by the WITH is accessed.

Not sure about the 2012 models but the 2010 ones can be removed in seconds, using a suction cup on the top corner. I use my tomtom to lift it away. It is attached by magnets.
Hope this helps.

HT4623 after an update my iPhone 4 has frozen with just the apple screen visible. I have tried connecting to iTunes but now iTunes isn't locating my iPhone. I have tried reseting the phone several times and that isn't working. Any ideas?

after an update my iPhone 4 has frozen with just the apple screen visible. I have tried connecting to iTunes but now iTunes isn't locating my iPhone. I have tried reseting the phone several times and that isn't working. Any ideas?

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

Best way to implement placeholder graphic that is replaced later

Hi,
What is the best way to go about implementing the following functionality?
-User initiates to add a "placeholder" image to the timeline. As part of this process, the user is directed to a website to configure the image settings.
-At some time in the future, when the image has been generated on the website, get the image from the website and replace the placeholder image with the final image.
Is this something that could be accomplished through a plugin? Or is there another mechanism that is better?
Thanks
-Stevo

All JPA strategies require something (like a table or sequence object) be in the database, with table sequencing being the most portable, though EclipseLink does allow custom sequence stratgies where you could use something else, such as the UUID. Sequencing is described here described here http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/PrimaryKey with a custom UUID example shown here http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/CustomSequencing .

Had to replace a WSUS server that went south, now SCCM WSUS not pulling updates

We had a 08 R2 machine serving as our WSUS server, it failed a few weeks ago and had to be replaced and was replaced with a VM 2012 R2 box. I removed the older server from SCCM, proceeded to set up the new server (it has the same name as the old on)
and re-add it back to sccm. I thought everything was okay but when I checked the logs yesterday I noticed that it wasn't syncing with the new server. The WCM.log file:

Best way to make a menu that shows up on all pages and that's easy to add links to later?

Hi everyone, first post on the forums. I am very new to using Dreamweaver and making web pages in general, so bear with me
Here's what I want to do:
1. Make a web site with a menu bar on the left with about 30 links.
2. All 30 links go to different pages on the same website, and each page has the exact same layout, only the body text is different (same placement of advertising, menu, etc.)
3. I want to be able to add links to that menu quickly and easily.
In other words, I basically want to just make one static menu that shows up the same way on each page of my site.
Now, how I am thinking is best to do this is to make one menu its own page (in its own frame??) and just have each page on my site link to that menu, so that whenever I want to update the menu, I don't have to update the static menu on each page of my website, only the one menu.html or whatever.
This is probably the easiest thing in the world to do and I'm probably not using the proper terminology or anything, but I hope that I have explained myself clearly.
Please respond if you have any ideas about how to accomplish this. Thank you!

While Breqent is right that server side includes are the best way of doing this if you aren't up on
server side coding then you can use Dreamweaver to manage you menu.
You do this by simply ensuring you never edit the menu area on any individual page.
It should therefore be identical on all page and as such you can just use find and replace across the entire site or folder to edit all occurances of your menu.
I hope this helps.

What is the best way of replacing words in a text file ?

i want to read in a text file and when i come across a certain word, i want to change it to something else. Whats the best way to do this ?
If i read in a line at a time, how would i only replace one word and not the rest of the line ?
thanks

thanks it works !!! But i wrote the contents to a new file.
How do i overwrite the same file ? I put the the input and output file as the same location but it overwrites the original file with a blank one.
i guess i have to write into another buffer and read all lines first before overwriting the file right ? how should i do that ?
also, i only want to overwrite the file ONLY if applies replaceAll method, otherwise if no replacing takes place i dont want to keep updating the file everytime.
