Bootcamp... what's the worst that can happen

Apple says that Windows XP install disk must have service pack 2? what happens if you use XP upgrade disk. Theoretically, the install would just ask me to insert earlier's windows CD to verify upgrade and continue the install. I've heard that a few people have been able to load XP on bootcamp without SP2 and then used Internet Explorer to download it.
Any thoughts.

The "process" to allow that sort of verificcation is not available until you completely install Windows. I know of someone who did, as you suggest, install SP1, and then upgraded it. However, there were multiple issues involved with that, and I think you would need to search out that thread to understand them, as I don't remember.
However, having said the "book version" - have you simply tried it? LOL! Who knows - it may work, and as your Subject states - What's the worse that can happen?

  • Migrating CA but CA role was already on new server. Whats the worst that can happen?

    Here's a little background for this migration.
    Old environment was SBS 2008. Everything baked into one server.
    New environment we are migrating to is Server 2012 R2. Will have 8 different 2012 r2 VMs varied by roles. Since this is a small network we are putting the CA on the DC (Called NewDC1).
    NewDC1 was configured to mirror the old servers Active Directory, etc. BUT NewDC1 when installed was given the AD CS role as well. From everything I've read it says to backup all settings on the old CA, decommission the old server then install the ADCS
    role on the new one and restore the backed up files.
    BUT since we already have the ADCS role on the new DC. Should I go ahead and uninstall it. Proceed with the steps to backup and uninstall the exchange server role on the old(not decommission the server since we still need it up to decommission the dc correctly).
    Then re-install the role on the new server? Also what issue would you run into with the server not being the same name since that's not even a option?

    Is the role installed and ADCS configured as a CA on the new server? In 2012, the role install and configuration process are broken into two separate phases. So if its just installed and not configured, then there's no issue. If however its already been
    configured as a CA and it has issued certificates, then anything you have issued from it will be invalidated after the migration.
    For the migration itself, since you are renaming the computer that the CA is running on you DEFINITELY want to review the migration process - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126170(v=WS.10).aspx. There are several steps you will need to
    perform otherwise the CA will not work properly on the destination server.
    Lastly, it is NEVER recommended to put the CA on a DC. Too hard to migrate or manage the domain, let alone security issues. I would recommend putting it on a dedicated member server, or if you must, at least one that isnt a DC.

  • What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?

    Greetings,
    What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?
    e.g. can I use a deployed IQStreamable@app1  into app2?
    can I use a deployed observable/app1/siInstance1/Server1 into another query/app3/siInstance3/server2?
    On the presentation titled "04 – Installing, Deploying and Maintaining the SQL Server 2008 R2 StreamInsight Runtime Engine" with file name SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx on ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/learn/SQL2008R2TrainingKit/Presentations/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx
    It is mentioned one of the deployment option is "Deployment: Standalone Server"
    and it mention the following:
    "Use this option for the following scenarios:
    - Metadata objects need to be shared between applications
      - Event Types
      - Adapter Types
      - Query Templates
    - A data source registered with the server provides an event stream for another existing application"
    Could you please provide good example that explain the above statement?
    Cheers, Muhammad

    First, that statement - and those materials - refer to the "legacy" StreamInsight query/adapter model. They do not refer to how things work with the Reactive model introduced in version 2.1. Specifically, it talks about Dynamic Query Composition (DQC).
    You cannot use a deployed Observable in another instance of StreamInsight. You may be able to use them across applications in the same instance - off the top of my head, I'm not sure. I'm getting ready to get on a plane but will take a look at it later.
    Typically, however, applications act as containers (comparable to .NET AppDomains) so I don't think that you'd be able to do this easily. That said, the code and assemblies
    can be reused across multiple instances/applications. You would have separate instances of the classes involved but you would be able to reuse the query logic. That's a common use case.
    Can you be more specific about your use case and what you are trying to accomplish here? It's possible that there are alternative ways to do what you are trying to do.

    (what are the possible error type which make here red)
    thanks
    pooja

    Hi,
    I can tell you the most common reasons of these failures.
    1. request everything ok
    Here it will be telling you if the request was properly send to source system and got triggered there.
    2. extraction everything ok
    In this step the actual extraction of data happens, issue slike sysfail or CPIC error may cause this to fail.
    3. transfer (idocs and trfc) error occured?
    When extraction is complete and data is being send to BW. But if dur to some reason it fails, error may come here.
    4. processing
    Processing in BW fails for each data packet is displayed here.
    This can also happen when you have sysfail in source.
    5. process chain
    This can show the logs of the chain here and also status of subsequent process.
    6 other messages.
    Any other error message.

  • My ipad mini was stolen and i have activated the find my phone to lock it. how can i get the serial number off my itunes or icloud profile? and what are the chances that the find my iphone app works when someome erases the device?

    my ipad mini has been stolen and i have activated the find my iphone to lock. now it is only a wifi device so what are the chances that a person can get hold of it and log onto wifi without the password of my device to unlock. does that not make the app rather less useful as i have to hope that the person is apt enough to log onto the internet but not enough to erase it and start afresh. is it possible to find my device even afte someone has erased it?

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

  • My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

    But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
    P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

  • HT1766 I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not callme or want to return the phone

    I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

  • What version of ipad 4g shoud i buy here in the US that can work in the philippines local data provider? at

    what version of ipad 4g shoud i buy here in the US that can work in the philippines local data provider? at&t or verizon? any idea anyone?

    Ah, I see, ask your provider what type of cell service they use the following outlines what the two iPads offer.
    Model for AT&T: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz)3; UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
    Model for Verizon: 4G LTE (700 MHz)3; CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
    Also ensure you don't buy a carrier locked/subsidized iPad.  Buy it free and clear without a contract so you can use it on your terms.
    I know a lot of internal providers have pay as you go data SIMs and you can basically swap these out as you travel between different countries.
