BO MOBI with BOE and Mobile server on two separate servers

Hi Experts,
We need to set up a BO MOBI with BOE and Mobile server on two separate servers.
In such a configuration, how does the two servers communicate?
What should be the VAS and VMS server configurations? especially the external hostnames in the files?
We are looking for a non Blackberry(proxy) deployment.
We have installed the software,however the windows services of Authserver and the Job servers are not available in the mobile server instance
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I figured it out. I had to re-run the schconfig utility on UNIX and reconfigured the server from localhost:9710 to the actual server name.

Trying to set up a new DB and Mobile server ....

I have a server runing ora 9i and mobile server 10.2 on linux,
Now trying to change the server to a new one with linux and
Oracle 10.1. and 10.3 as the mobile server.
Did the following steps.
1.All users were logged off in old server
2.stopped mobile server
2. Exported using system full db
3. imported the same to new system
4. Checked ADMIN_JDBC_URL,THIN_JDBC_URL and found the new server settings.
. every thing is fine except mobile server part.
when try to start mobile server it gives following.
[oracle@test bin]$ ./runmobileserver
2008-03-05 11:29:03.169 NOTIFICATION JMS Router is initiating ...
2008-03-05 11:29:04.188 ERROR J2EE HTTP0004 Internal error raised tyring to instantiate web-application: webtogo defined in web site OC4J 10g (10.1.3) Default Web Site. Application: mobileserver does not exist. Error creating Web application: webtogo

Then tryied ./repwizard and it says system does not have required priviledge. But as to the help section all roles were assigned to System.
if anyone has the correct method of transfering the entire db and mobileserver to a new server please post details.
I need to sync clients on the new server without refreshing.
Help is appreciated.

Thanks rekounas,
I was out of the office for few days and back again at work.
I made a mistake while running the repwizard.
now its ok.
Problem was i was using mobileadmin to run repwizard.
But i tried it with database schema(back end) user and password now ok and
running on 10g r3. but it does a complete refresh on the new server. that takes time and i think there should be some parameter to make it only fast refresh.

Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

Dear Oracle technical representative:
This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
Installation problems are highlighted in red.
Installation sequence/history:
     1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
     2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
          Computer name YGGDRASILL
          Host name = YGGDRASILL
          Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
     3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
     4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
     5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
     6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.
     7. Installed MDAC 2.6
     8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
     9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
     10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
          Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
          Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
          Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
          Port = 2030
          SID = FIA
          SYSTEM Password = phwphw
          SYS Password = phwphw
          SCOTT Password = phwphw
          DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
          tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
          a. CD 1 of 3 load
               1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
          b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
          c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
               HTTP Server URLs
                    http://7778
                    https://4443
     12. Evaluation of install success begins.
          a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
          When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?
          b. All other services start correctly.
          c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
          I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
          d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
               FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
               (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
               (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
               (CONNECT_DATA =
               (SERVER = DEDICATED)
               (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
     13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
     14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
     15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
     16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
          a. File locations Screen
               Name: = OraLite501
               Path: = D:\OraLite501
          b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
          c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
               Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
               Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                    It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
               Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
          d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
          e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
          f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
          g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Database System password:
                    Password = phwphw
          h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Schema Name: fiafield
               Password : fiafield
          i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
     j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
     k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
          1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
          2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
          3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
          4. OracleServiceFIA is started
          5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
          6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
          7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
     l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
          http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
     When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
     m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
     n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
     16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
          a. File locations Screen
               Name: = OraLite501
               Path: = D:\OraLite501
          b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
          c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
               Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
               Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                    It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
               Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
          d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
          e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
          f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
          g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Database System password:
                    Password = phwphw
          h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
               Schema Name: fiafield
               Password : fiafield
          i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
     j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
     k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
          1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
          2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
          3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
          4. OracleServiceFIA is started
          5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
          6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
          7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
     l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
          http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
     When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
     m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
     n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

When you install the MD Workstation you are opted to choose among different applications i.e. mobile sales, mobile service, mobile system maintenance or authorization management tool. You can there choose the application to install besides the installation of the MD Workstation.
If you want to add application(s) later, you have to choose 'modify' and choose all parts for the MD Workstation plus the applications. If you omit options chosen before when doing the first installation then these will be removed. So be shure to choose ALL relevant things for the application as well as for the MD Workstation.
You can also generate the application from the installed repository, there are several notes on this subject available ('how to generate an application') which are referred to in about any installation guide or note changing the msa coding.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Error message: "the software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly....

2 error messages when opening itunes: "The software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want Itunes to repair this for you?" When clicking yes another message indicates not able to remove services. Another message is: "Service (ipod service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system sources." I've uninstalled all Apple services (itunes, quicktime, apple software update, apple mobiles devices support, bonjour and apple application support and reinstalled itunes/quicktime - no change in error messages. I cannot burn CDs using Itunes. This all seemed to happen when I updated itunes to version 10. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system on a Dell Inspiron Zino HD; the Itunes software is also 64 bit.

C++: Is it possible using callback function with ncacn_http and rpcproxy server ?

I have a remote procedure and I can call it using http over rpc. I pass trough an rpc proxy server for arriving to my rpc server.
But I cannot call a callback function to my client inside the server function.
Is it possible using callback function with ncacn_http and rpcproxy server ?
We are using IIS on windows server 2008 R2 and the server rpc and the client on the same PC with rpc rpoxy.
If I use ncan_ip_tcp all works fine.
Thanks

The software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones was not installed correctly

ok i've seen this in several threads and haven't found one with an anwser. the software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. of course when you tell it to repair it does not. this has happened several times now and only cure i have found is uninstalling itunes and reinstalling. works for maybe a few weeks then does the same thing and i start all over again with uninstall and reinstall. i tunes version 10.4.1.10 64 bit running on windows 7 64 bit and trying to sync with Iphone 3gs - so anyone have a fix for this or am i stuck reinstalling itunes every few weeks???

Experiences with Lenovo and my purchases of two laptops

Experiences with Lenovo and my purchases of two laptops (one was exchanged) and issues following with defective parts:
First.. Lenovo Return Policy:
I had ordered an E420, and by mistake in that I responded to an email advertisement while at work, and rushed through the online order (bad mistake).
When I received the E420, I didn't like the LCD or keyboard at all... and was really disappointed. While researching other customer experiences, I assumed Lenovo basically had an "all sales final" policy for Canadian Customers.
I called them the next business day after receiving the E420, and said I was disatisified with the it, and would like to exchange it for a T520. She said that is possible, but I'd have to order the T520 before I could get a return authorization (which was ok).
I ordered the T520, and within a week (I had to call and bug them once), I received the return labels for the E420, and returned it that day. It took about 10 days, for the full E420 credit to show up on my credit card, and I was very happy to see they did not charge me restocking.
Second, issues with the T520:
Within hours of opening the T520, I noticed the upper cursor key was not working. Not very good for a brand new laptop... a bit disappointing.
I called lenovo the next morning, and she apologized for the issue, and said she'd send me another keyboard asap... and the instructions. This was ok, since repairing PC's and laptops is a skill I have. The keyboard came the next day.... and I replaced it.. all good.
Next issue:
The bluetooth worked for about 3 days, and stopped working (which was a pain because I used a lenovo blue tooth mouse). Bios shows it enabled, but does not show up anymore when I do a FN F5, or in device manager. Just to be sure it wasn't an issue with software, I used the recovery DVDs to reinstall the OS... still no bluetooth.
Called Lenovo support, he had me pull battery, press the power button with no power sources connected (he said it drained any capacitors), reset bios to system defaults... reboot a few times... still no bluetooth.
He suggested I re-seat the bluetooth daughter card. While I felt comfortable with this, I was surprised Lenovo Support would suggest this, because I am sure many or most customers would not have this expertise to open a laptop without doing some sort of damage. That being said, Lenovo does have a Hardware Maintenance Guide that explains step by step procedures for replacement of parts on the T520.
I didn't do this while on the phone with him, but after going through the troubleshooting, he said a box would come to my door, and I'd have to ship my laptop away for a week or so to have it fixed.
I expressed my unhappyness with this idea as UPS/Lenovo just delivered the Laptop to my door and a week had not even passed, and I have to do without it for a week or ???.
I said, this is why purchasing a laptop online can be a huge drawback... had I purchased from "Best Buy" I could go exchange it over the counter in a few hours.
Anyways.. I asked if I could drop it off at an Authorized Lenovo Repair depot, and he said yes.. just bring the case number.
I personally don't trust "Repair Depots" by default. They scratch laptops, they leave screws out, they mark the plastic edges when separating the covers, bezels, etc because they use metal screwdrivers or are not careful when doing so.
After I got off the phone, I was able to re-seat the bluetooth card... still not resolved. I think I will call Lenovo back and ask the part to be sent to me, and I'll replace it.
Other comments:
Sound - The volume level on the T520 isn't as loud as my HP nx9420... unfortunate.. but I can live with it.
Performance: The Performance rating on my 5 year old HP nx9420 was 4.3, this new T520 was 4.6... not that much better and appears to be due to the video card rating.
Lenovo Packaging:
I was also very surprised that Lenovo ships the laptops by sending them in their own box, and not putting them in a large box with padding to protect them. That means that any rough handing by UPS, would be experienced by the laptop, which if you ever talk to people who work for UPS or other couriers admit that they work on volume/speed and not giving much priority to ensuring items are handled carefully.

The Windows experience index is only a rough guide, not a benchmark. Many people have reported having minor things wrong with the machines as shipped. Perhaps, this is due to shipping damage.
I find it interesting that you BT went out after a keyboard replacement. Mine did the same thing, and had to be replaced.

Problems with iWeb and mobile me

Ciao everyone,
I've been having a ridiculous amount of problems with my mobile me account and my iweb. 2 weeks ago I was fine with my iweb and mobile me but all of a sudden my iweb would say it publish but it really doesn't publish. The I went to the mac store a couple of times and thought I would get answers but I didnt get any answer even though I had a couple of one to one visits with a couple of stores in NYC. So when i publish it it shows that it published in my www.me.com/idisk/iweb folder but then it doesn't show in my website. Then one guy told me that I should just recreate a new site but copy and past all the old information to the new one. Now it won't publish at all because I guess its a lot of information to publish at once. I get an error message saying error iweb was not able to publish please try again later. Any help?

Hey you guys,
Thanks for the help, but I did try to publish all to my iweb and it didn't work. I do try to view my published website through the file/visit published site and for some reason only my intro page is there then when i go into the main page i get an error page. I also did go to my finder/Go/idisk/myidisk/iweb/site/iweb and saw my websites folder. Everything seems to be in it. I tried to take a screen shot of what is in my folder but I can't post pictures. In my folder I have a folder for gallery, index.html, site, shites.rss, and my website folder usvisualswebsite
Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating. I also created another test site with nothing in it and published it and it says it finishes publishing but the blank test page isn't there.

Simple explanation of what is happening with iWeb and Mobile Me. Can anyone explain this simply and if our existing web site can be hosted elsewhere, if so can it still be updated using iWeb. Any advice very welcome

We have a website that has run successfully using iWeb and Mobile me. We understand Mobile Me is being discontinued from June. From this forum it seems iWeb also is not being supported any more. So can the existing site be hosted successfully with another provider or is it best to start again. If so any advice on options would be very welcome;
Thanks
PB

For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.

Need some advice with indexing and search server in multihomed environment.

Hi,
I want to introduce the JISS (java indexing and search server). We have an multihomed environment with two frontends for convergence and imap/pop proxy service and two mail stores in a cluster HA environment
(Sun cluster 3.2, messaging server 7u3-15.01, convergence 1.0-12.01 running on glassfish 2.1.1). The directory servers (multimaster) are on speperated servers.
I viewed the jiss deployment pages in the wiki (http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Indexing+and+Search+Service+Deployment+Planning), but they are more confusing than helpful.
My questions are as follows:
Can I put the jiss web service on the convergence server (to share the same glassfish server?
Is it better to put the indexing part of JISS on a seperate server or on the convergence server or better on the mail store servers?
Can I run the JMQ broker in an HA environment on the cluster? Is it possible to run JMQ together with messaging server in the same cluster group?
Can JISS index two mail stores (I didn't find anything in the config guide)?
Best Regards,
Ruediger

http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite7/Sun+Java+Communications+Suite+7+on+a+Single+Host
Is it better to put the indexing part of JISS on a seperate server or on the convergence server or better on the mail store servers?This is answered in the Deployment Planning guide:
"Indexing requires significant CPU resources, thus, it is best to install the indexing service on a separate host dedicated to an ISS single server installation. If this is not an option, then install ISS on the back-end host as a single server installation, and install GlassFish Server as well for ISS."
Can I run the JMQ broker in an HA environment on the cluster? Is it possible to run JMQ together with messaging server in the same cluster group?This article may help:
