Branch Office + Pocket pc - Is this possible?
Hi all,
I'm trying to use Pocket PC with Branch Office, but I heard that that is impossible, Branch Office works only with desktop pc.
Is this information true?
Tks,
Everson
Hi Rekounas,
Thanks for your attention.
Okay, so are you trying to bring down the amount of bandwidth you use?- Yes
For shared data, is it updateable?- Yes
For initial syncs I always recommend the user is located where then have a good connection. Incremental syncs aren't nearly as intense so it usually only takes a few seconds or minutes depending on your application. But this usually doesn't take long.- I'll make some tests, because independ of branch office, the application must be developed.
Tks,
Everson

Branch Office Mail Server?
I have Mac OS X providing mail services to about 100 users at a main office. We are opening a branch office with 20-30 users. I'm wondering if it is possible to setup another mail server for the branch office using the same domain. The users at the branch office are moderately heavy users who will often deal with lots of attachments. I would like them to have an IMAP server that is local to them for better performance and to reduce traffic on the main office network.
I thought I'd give it a try. There's a field called "Mail Server" on the mail tab of WGM for each user. I put the address of the branch office server in that field. However, the main office server keeps the messages in its own mailstore. So, what's this field for? It doesn't seem to do anything.
I see a way to accomplish this by editing the postfix alias file for each user and adding a line for each branch office user like branchofficeuser: [email protected] but that wouldn't be so nice if I ever have to turn over administration of these servers to someone else.
Is there any way to distribute mail for users of the same domain across more than one IMAP server without resorting to entering aliases to subdomains for each user?x

Hi!
We have been trying to use a branch office install on a single computer for concurrent access from multiple (local) clients.
This works like a charm as long as the computer is on a network (dial-up up or LAN). When we disconnect from the network, new connections to the BO database tends to take several seconds.
The BO machine OS is Windows NT or 2K
I suspect this delay has something to do with the network connection. We have tried to install Microsft Loopback Adapter to remedy this. The result is that it is a little bit faster than before, but the delay is still there.
Is the Branch Office multiuser listener bound to a specific network interface? If so can it be changed? Or does anyone have any other ideas...It is possible that a PC responds slowly when connecting to the a MU listener when the PC is not on the network. Check how the DSN is defined. Defining it as a localhost may speed up.
MU Listener uses Windows sockets to open the connection. -
Windows 2008 R2 RODC + Branch Office
I'm looking at utilising a new RODC in a small branch office but I have a copuple of queries that hopefully someone can point in the right direction.
Is it possible to move a RODC to a new Site / Subnet like you can with a normal DC. I plan to build the rodc and then move it to the new office once the sites / subnets have been created.
I think I need to run ADPREP / rodcprep to install this server. I currently have 2 windows 2008 rc domain controllers and 1 windows 2003 (soon to be retired).
Plan:
Adprep the domain
Build Windows server and promote to RODC
Create new site and subnet
POwer down RODC
Move RODC to the new site within AD and physcially move to site
Does this sound feasible?

Promote your RODC and let it replicate the content from RWDC, after that move RODC within new site and then move the server to new location with yourself.

Auto deploying branch office printers with Direct Access
Hello there
I am implementing my first Direct Access topology and have a question. We will have branch offices with workstations deployed using Direct Access for administrative purposes. We have staff moving around from branch to branch with the goal to
make logging on to the network and accessing resources for users as automated as possible. One of the questions I have regards auto configuring branch printers for users using Group Policy. The branch offices have workstations, printers and NAT modem/routers
with DHCP - but no servers.
If we have a stand alone network printer, how do we list that printer in Active Directory allowing the user to auto-configure it using group policy? If we install it on a server at Head Office, would the print job travel there first and then back to
the branch? Obviously this is not ideal. Or can it be directed straight to the printer using a script or something?
Alternatively we can install and share it on a branch workstation and list it in the directory, but would this not be same the problem as above? This is not ideal either as it would depend on the workstation being always on and available.
Any input Direct Access gurus?
Thanks in advance
MIS5000Hi,
Thanks for your post.
We could have 2 possible solutions for natively deploy printers using Group Policy without the need for any scripting:
1) Group Policy Preferences – available in Windows Server 2008 and later
2) Print Management – available in Windows Server 2003 R2 and later
http://blog.powershell.no/2009/11/08/deploying-printers-using-group-policy/
Did you try to use the Print Management? You can share printers on a network and centralize print server and network printer management tasks using the Print Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Print Management helps you to monitor print
queues and receive notifications when print queues stop processing print jobs. It also enables you to migrate print servers and deploy printer connections using Group Policy.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731857.aspx
Meanwhile, if you have any Direct Access related issue, I think you may ask in network forums:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserverNIS

ASA5505 I cannot reach to an outside network from a branch office
My customer has a HQ office and many Branch offices. In the HQ there is an ASA5510 configured as a default gateway, From HQ customer must access to internet (everythig works fine), from Inside LAN should reach to anyway including special services like Credit Card service provider and others (it works fine). From Branch offices must reach Inside LAN hosts (it works fine), from Branch Offices must reach DMZ (it works fine), from branch offices should reach CC Service provider and here's the point of this Q, From almost all branch offices they reach CCSP fine but branch offices where an ASA5505 is installed (Offices that reach CCSP have a RV042 installed or a TPlink ER6120 installed) but offices with ASA just can ping to LAN side of CCSP's router.
I think ASA5505 conf is an opened door configuration. Here's the 5505 configuration and also attached the network diagram. Some one can help pleaseHi,
Are the branch offices connected to the HQ through some ISP MPLS network since I do not see any L2L VPN configurations on the ASA5505?
I presume this is the case. Since you say that the connections between Branch Office (with ASA5505) and HQ LAN work fine it should tell us that there should be no routing problems between those networks.
The diagram possibly also suggests that all the Branch Office connections come to your HQ network through the same Router at the edge so if other Branc Offices connections CCSP work then there should be no routing problem between the Branch Offices and the CCSP (atleast regarding your part of the network)
Now, some questions.
Does the ISR Router forward traffic destined to CCSP directly to the Router at 192.168.2.249 ?
Does the Router with the connection to the CCSP use the Internet to reach the CCSP or is there somekind of dedicated connection between these networks?
If the Router towards CCSP uses Internet then does it lack some NAT configurations for the source network 192.168.27.0/24? Does it perhaps lack a route towards the network 192.168.27.0/24? Or is there any possible errors in the configurations (wrong gateway IP or network mask somewhere?)
Is there any ACLs configured on the Router that has the connection to the CCSP that might block traffic?
Does the CCSP have all the required routing information to pass traffic towards the network 192.168.27.0/24? (If were talking about a dedicated connection and not traffic through the Internet) Have they allowed traffic from the mentioned network 192.168.27.0/24 to their servers/network?
Have you taken "packet-tracer" output from the ASA5505 to confirm that the ASA configurations allow the traffic and dont drop it for some reason?
For example
packet-tracer input inside tcp 192.168.27.100 12345 193.168.1.100 80
You can modify the IP addresses (source/destination) and the used destination port and protocol to match the connections that are actually attempted.
Have you monitored the connections on the ASA when users attempt them? This should atleast tell you why they are failing or give a hint. You could also configure traffic capture on the ASA5505 if you wanted to make sure if any traffic was coming from the CCSP towards this ASA (return traffic for connection attempt)
Hope this helps :)
Let me know if I missunderstood the situation wrong somehow.

Best Practice for Roaming Profiles over Branch Offices
Hello Everybody,
I was hoping I could gain advice from experienced engineers on an issue me and my team are currently experiencing.
The issue:
We have a client that has their main office in London and this company has other remote offices over the world, Paris, Milan, Luxembourg etc.. Each remote office has a local DC&file server installed as two separate servers or both roles on the same
server. Everything is central to London, all the main file shares that the company uses is based in London and the terminal server's are based in London too.
We have DFS-R & N set up on the London File servers to replicate the dfs shares over the remote offices which works fine and we don't generally ever have any issues with this and works well when user's in remote offices access file shares from
London.
However and I didn't set this up but this client also has DFS-R & N set up for roaming profiles!!! The issue we are having here is only with the terminal servers. For example I will log in as one of the users from London on the terminal server and will
load the profile fine, I will log that user off and log in as the admin and remove the profile through advanced system settings. I will then log back on as that same user and will be given a temporary profile, I repeat the first step and the profile loads
fine, so every other log on will load the user with a temporary profile. I know this is the case because for that user, if I change the profile path in AD from
\\xxxx.com\public to
\\lon-fs3v\profiles$\user it then loads every time with no issues. Before anyone asks I have rebuilt the terminal server(s) to rule out if they were misconfigured. You may ask why not do that for everyone? We can't do that for people based in Milan otherwise
their profile will forever take time to load and that's where the dfs replication comes into play for the profiles.
Unfortunately they are a very stubborn client so some users (important people) have very large profiles which sometimes takes a while to load up.
I have done some reading already on the web and have seen the unsupported scenario from Microsoft regarding this (
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2533009 ) so unsure the best way to do it. The link I've put in does say you can have issues with the profiles loading (which we do) if there are too many
connections which we have 10 to replicate profiles around the remote offices.
I have done some reading into the hostedbranch cache method but not sure if you can do this with roaming profiles or not?
We generally want to eliminate the issue for users when logging on remotely with getting a temp profile every other log on attempt. I must add though this issue never occurs on the workstations just the terminal server, our client is in the private equity
market so one user may just spend one day in a remote office and then come back to London to carry on as they normally would.
So that's the background to the issue and I was generally trying to work out what methods or if this is possible with the branch cached method for roaming profiles ?
Thank you to anyone who replies.
Best,
LiamHi UC3ngineer,
Agree with Luca.
If the branch users need to do lot of conferencing, the best practice is to deploy an new Front End Pool and an Edge Server in Branch Office; Otherwise you must have a 100%
reliable WAN connection to your central site.
Best regards,
Eric

Head office and branch office accounts
HI sap gurus,
can any explain the configuration steps for head office and branch office accounts in vendor and customer master accounts and how to post an invoice in this configuration
Regards,
UmeshI am assuming u are using SD integration for the billing . Therefore, please go to VD02 for the Child Customer profile under the correct sales org,distbn channel, div.
Then under the Partner functions tab set the SP Sold to party as the Child, BP Bill to Party as Parent,PY Payer as Parent and SH Ship to party as Child.
If its only for FI documents config then proceed in FD02 only, else if its integrated then use XD02.
Then under the Company code data in the Account management Tab set the Head office as the Parent . Then all the future postings will have Acct = Parent but Branch = Child.
If you want some examples which we have discussed before then go to
Re: Customer Master -- Parent + Child Relationship
Link between Branch Accounts and Head Office Account
To link branch accounts to a head office account, you must enter the number of the head office account in the Head office field in the branch account master record. This field is contained in the company code area of the master record.
The head office account can be any vendor account except one-time accounts or branch accounts themselves. Branch accounts and head office accounts must belong to the same company code.
Line Item Display
When you are entering the parameters for line item display, you should note the following: for head office accounts, enter the key 004 in the field Sort key. This instructs the system to display the line items for the head office account sorted by branch. This key is defined in the table for allocation rules.
For more information on line item display and the Sort key field, see Sorting Line Items
Correspondence
You can set up your system to cater for written correspondence with vendors a) for the head office, broken down per branch or b) for each branch individually. If you want to create correspondence (such as dunning notices and account statements) for the individual branches instead of the head office, you have to select the Local processing field in the vendor master record of the head office on the Create Customer: Correspondence screen.
You can also define payment methods in the master records of the branches and head offices. For example, if you want to have certain payment methods for particular branches, enter these in the master records of the branches concerned and do not enter any payment method in the head office master record. If you enter payment methods in both head office and branch master records, all payment methods are possible. -
Hello Everyone,
Can we implement the Head/Branch Office functionality in 6.0, I know it is readily available in EHP4. But we have a requirement in which we are in need to implement the concept of Head/Branch Office concept for our customer accounts which have a parent/child relationship.
Do let me know if this is a possibility and if so how can I approach.
Thanks,
Kumar.I believe you have answered your own question.
Yes you can use head office and branch accounts within collections management via Enhancement Package 4.
I am in the process of writing an article about it at the moment, and have implemented it.
Once you activated the enhancement pack and the business function set, you need to confirm how you want to use the new functionality.
The current configuration where you assign a company code to collections management has been amended so you can select your requirements for collections management with branch accounts. (SAPLFDM_AR_CUST_VIEW) -
Invoic & GSVERF IDocs with Head & Office Branch office relationship
Hi ,
We have maintained Head office & branch office relationship in vendor master.
Based on this master data set up, all accounting documents are getting posted to Head office account. Currently we are facing the below issue:
We have created purchase order for Branch office vendor (Eg. B) and as required accounting document is getting posted to Head office vendor(Eg. H). We are using Idoc Msg type 'Invoic' for this invoice verificaiton and using Idoc msg type 'GSVERF' to send acknowledgement for that Invoice.In this case, Acknowledgement IDoc has been getting transmitted to Head office vendor (H) and not the Branch vendor (B) who
has originally sent the Invoice.
Kindly let me know whether it is possible to forward acknowledgement vendor to branch account instead of Head office.
Thanks

OSPF design for branch offices across MPLS
Hello fellow networking engineers,
I want to implement OSPF in our network. We have multiple branch offices, all linked to an MPLS backbone.
I know that in order to get linked areas, I would need to setup GRE tunnels between them, but I want to avoid static/manual configurations as much as possible. With multiple sites, it would become cumbersome to create a mesh real fast.
Is running OSPF independent areas at each site, and simply redistributing over eBGP a valid solution? This will host voice and data, and will failover to VPN connection (Cisco ASAs) if the MPLS goes down.
For the VPN backup links, I thought of two options. Either simply using the default route to send everything to the ASA in case of MPLS "death", or inject routes using IP SLA...
Any input would be appreciated.Marc
You don't GRE tunnels to link your areas if that is what you want to do.
If the SP supports it then you can exchange your OSPF routes between areas and they will still be seen as inter area routes rather than OSPF externals which they would if you simply treated each area as isolated from each other.
In effect the MPLS network becomes an OSPF super backbone area and your main site would also be part of the backbone area with all your other sites having an area each.
You still redistribute your OSPF routes into BGP but with some extra configuration on both your CEs and the SP PE devices.
Like I say you would need to check with your SP but it is possible.
Whether or not you need or want it I don't know.
Your other option is as you have proposed to treat each OSPF area as an isolated one and simply redistribute into OSPF at each CE. Then within each site all non local routes would be seen as OSPF external routes.
Either way in terms of backup I would keep it simple and use a default route at each site pointing to the ASA device. I can't see what you gain from IP SLA because if the main MPLS link goes down at any site the only other path they have out is via the ASA so there is nothing really worth tracking.
The only other thing I would mention is remote site to remote site traffic. If there is any then presumably with your VPN tunnels you would be doing a sort of hub and spoke where the hub is the main site so you may need to think about traffic coming in from one VPN tunnel and going out to another VPN tunnel on the main site ASA.
This would only really be needed if two or more sites had to use their backup links at the same time.
In terms of which is better ie. OSPF inter area across the MPLS cloud or OSPF externals I can't really say to be honest. With the MPLS networks i have worked on we ran EIGRP and simply treated each remote site as an isolated AS.
If you are already running OSPF then you may want to preserve your existing areas so it would make sense to go with the inter area option.
If it is a new setup then I don't really know the pros and cons of either so can't really comment.
Perhaps others may add to the thread with their thoughts.

Wlan controller and branch office AP (vlan config)
Hi,
Our wlan controller is located in HQ office and we have APs in branch office. Is it possible to implement two different SSIDs and they should be in two different vlans? So should we configure the AP trunk?
REAP does not support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging. As such, it does not support multiple VLANs. Traffic from all the service set identifiers (SSID) terminates on the same subnet, but H-REAP supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging. Traffic from each SSID can be segmented to a unique VLAN.
ThanksHello,
As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-
Yes, it possible to implement two different SSIDs and they can be in two different vlans.

Simulating small branch office in lab network
Hi,
I have to setup what seems to be a very basic configuration, but it doesn't work.
In our lab there is a cluster of switches with a 3550 that does all the routing for vlans.
I need to simulate a sort of a small branch office that has one connection
to the outside world (the lab network).
Here is my design:
Vlan 230 (the internet)
A port on 3550 is in vlan 230 and is connected to e0/0 (172.26.230.150) on 2611 router.
e0/1 interface on a 2611 is (192.168.1.1).
A PC is connected to e0/1 (192.168.1.12).
From the router I can ping any host on vlan 230 and other vlans,
I can also ping the pc connected to e0/1.
However from the PC I can only ping 192.168.1.1(e0/1) and 172.26.230.150 (e0/0)
Below is my configuration
Thanks for your help.
R2611-1#sh run

Current configuration:
version 12.0
service timestamps debug uptime

ip http server
no scheduler allocate
endYou are not performing nat on the router.
This is typically required on a box which provides internet connectivity.
Probably the other hosts on vlan 230 have no route back to the pc on 192.168.1.1
Configuring nat on the router will resolve this problem.

We have a small branch office (7 users) that will be moving to a building that has a Wireless Residential Gateway (Model: DPC3829). This device provides wifi for 2 other tenants on the same floor. Can we connect another wireless router to this wireless residential gateway device and create our own SSID so that we don't have to use the wifi settings that the other 2 tenants connect to?
I've attached a picture of what the back of the DPC3829 currently looks like. I am thinking I can plug that yellow network cable into another wireless router and create our own wireless network (obviously off of their internet connection) for our 7 users.
Thank you for your help.u may but any plane wireless device and run it in bridge mode (shouldd run by default i beleive). Then connect one of its lan port to any one of the lan ports available on the DPC3829 thing.
you are correct in what you want to do, and it can be done no problem.
