CA Server and GET VPN Key Server

Hi,
Can I have an IOS CA Server and a GET VPN Key Server working in the same ISR G2?
Thanks
Emanuel

Emanuel,
No I would not necessarily call this a small scale deployment, although we do scale above 4000 GMs.
Please note that, at least as far as I am aware, there is no strict definition that a setup like this would not be supported for larger scale deployment. You may want to shoot your SE an email so they can discuss with business unit it they limit supportability of such setup somewhere.
Technically speaking, what you need to take into consideration:
- CPU utilization during registration (can be offloaded by using external CDP URL).
- Type of rekey.
- Amount of GM re-registrations. (i.e. stability of environment).
- KS COOP or not.
- KS platform of choice.
What you want to make sure is that PKI functions will not affect KS functions. (For example during multi spokes registering and performing CRL checks).
And make sure that KS is not a single point of failure for entire domain - that mean storing PKI data of the router.

ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN Server and Easy VPN Client at the same time?

Is it possible to configure and operate the ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN server and Easy VPN Client at the same time? We would like to configure a few of these without having to purchase additional ASA 5505 and use a 2 device method (1 SSL VPN Server and 1 Easy VPN Client). Thanks in advance.

I don't think it is possible. Following links may help you

Whether java component (Not ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided by App Server

As I mentioned in subject, I am just wondering Whether the java component (Not
ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided
by App Server or not?

Nevermind folks - I got it to work. All my configuration was correct; I had other issues with the ejb-jar file that the verifier informed me of (my previous deployments were with the verifier turned-off).

Can I set an OU to have 2 GPO's one to pull updates from local server and another from replica server

I'm looking for a solution where I don't change our current AD groups, (avoid using a local group and a field group), also trying to avoid using a server in a DMZ to handle field people (will need to buy a new server).
At the end i'm looking to use a replica server to push updates from the internet to the field group (or OU with a GPO pointing to such replica server) and use the local server to host the updates locally and push to the office people.
Probably this is the question that needs to be answered, can an OU group have 2 different GPO's pointing to 2 different WSUS servers (local and replica) (local updates vs updates from internet) and if an user of such group is in the office they get updates
from the local server and if he is in the field get the updates from the replica server? I know GPO's can have precedence set to the OU, but do they work like a trigger or something that tells them to go to the next GPO.
Thanks in advance

No.
and if an user of such group is in the office they get updates from the local server and if he is in the field get the updates from the replica server?
There are two ways to achieve this. Typically we talk about this scenario when the mobile systems are going to use AU/WU to get Security Updates. Taking advantage of the fact that GROUP policy cannot refresh on a machine which is not "in the office", you
define a Registry Script to run in the user's STARTUP folder, which will set the registry values to configure that client to use the alternate source.
But, in the case where you have an Internet-facing WSUS server in the DMZ, and a Corporate-facing WSUS server on the LAN, you use the SAME URL, but use DNS to direct the client to the correct IP Address. When the client is on the LAN, the LAN DNS gives the
IP Address of the Corporate server; when the client is on the Internet, the Internet DNS gives the IP Address of the DMZ server.

HT201320 What am i supposed to put as the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server when setting up my email?

I'm tryingt to set up my email through my school account and i'm not sure what it means when i'm asked to enter a incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server. Help would be appreciated thanks

Since no one here has any idea about what type of mail your school offers...you don't mention what school...your question, as asked, can't be answered. What don't you contact your school's IT dept., or look online. Most schools have instructions on how to do so online.

[WebLogic 9.2] Please enable the DomainRuntimeMBean Server and the Edit MBean Server

When trying to log-in into my Admin Console:
A required MBean Server is disabled which prevents the proper operation of

High availability for Lync 2013 persistent chat server and office web app server

I have 1500 users, need HA in primary data center and DR also. looking for HA and DR solution for persistent chat server and office web app server.
is below correct?
1. 2 persistent chat server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
2. 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
also do i need HLB for both roles?

1) In Lync Server 2013, there are improvements in both high availability and disaster recovery:
High availability improvements: SQL Server mirroring is used to provide high availability for the Persistent Chat Server content database and Persistent Chat compliance database within a data center (in-site).
Disaster recovery improvements: Persistent Chat Server supports a stretched pool architecture that enables a single Persistent Chat Server pool to be stretched across two sites (that is, a single logical pool in the topology, with servers in the pool physically
located across two sites). SQL Server Log Shipping is used for cross-site disaster recovery.
For more information about high availability and disaster recovery, see
Configuring Persistent Chat Server for High Availability and Disaster Recovery in the Deployment documentation.
2) for HA & DR, you can 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. and You will need HLB for office web app servers

Getting List of SQL server and on selection of server get List of Databases using SMO

Hi,
I need to have functionality where I need to populate List of available SQL servers from local network, and when i select SQL server from list, get the list of Databases from that Server.
For this i referenced SQL SMO Dll's and placed two drop down, one lists Server names, and one lists Database names.
Dlls refered are:
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll
Above DLL's i have copied from SQL server SQL server 2008 installed location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\SDK\Assemblies
DLL version : 11.0.3000.0
Code i have used is:
private void MainForm_Load(object sender,
EventArgs e)
   DataTable dataTable = SmoApplication.EnumAvailableSqlServers(false);
   cmbServers.ValueMember = "Name";
   cmbServers.DataSource = dataTable;
//Now, load Databases on selection of Server combo box.
private void cmbServers_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
EventArgs e)
   cmbDatabases.Items.Clear();
   if (cmbServers.SelectedIndex != -1)
      string serverName = cmbServers.SelectedValue.ToString();
      Server server = new Server(serverName);
      try
         foreach (Database database in server.Databases)
            cmbDatabases.Items.Add(database.Name);
      catch (Exception ex)
         string exception = ex.Message;
It works where SQL server is installed, but in systems where no SQL server is installed, it is not working, it is not returning list of SQL server and so database list.
Query is> can you please help me in this regard, what i am missing here, do i need to install any client component to use this?, or anything else what i need to do to make this functionality work.
Thanks,
Hemal

Thanks Michael for replying.
I have gone through the reply, and the link on how to get the SMO library installed.
"To install the Client Tooks SDK without installing SQL Server, install Shared Management Objects from the SQL Server feature pack.
If you want to ensure that SQL Server Management Objects is installed on a computer that will run your application, you can use the Shared Management Objects .msi in the SQL Server feature pack."
I have few questions on "Shared Management Objects .msi"
Where do i get "Shared Management Objects .msi".
only installing this msi will install SMO?.
Can i ship this msi with my application installer?
do i need to install x86 on x86 system and x64 version of msi in x64 system, or x86 can work fine with both, my application
is x86 only.
Thanks,
Hemal

Have upgraded to 6.0.2 on my MacBook and get error message "Server Not Found" everytime i use Firefox; however, if i then click on my Gmail or other sites from bookmark toolbar it connects. means an extra step and that never happened before

when i first click on Firefox the URL: www.27yhbnhy6tfgvrbcfre3.com shows up and the error message "Server not Found". but i can connect to any website by just clicking on a bookmark from the toolbar (or typing in a url). this never happened with previous versions of Firefox

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

I'm on mac OS 10.7.4 and when i try to update my FF it gets hung up saying "dowlosing ff...connecting to update server" and gets stuck

When I try to upgrade my FireFox browner i get this pop up window that gets hung up. it says "Downloading Firefox." "connecting to the update server..." and gets stuck there

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 14.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

How to query LDAP server and get DB Service names?

Hi, before making a connection to an Oracle database, if i want to get list of Databases available,
i could use OracleClientFactory (and CreateDataSourceEnumerator and GetDataSources) to get list of tnsnames from the local tnsnames.ora file
Now, if i instead want to query the LDAP server with a given context and get the DB Service list,
how can i do that using ODP.NET?
I am using Visual Studio C# 2010 and ODP.NET 11.2
Thanks,
-srinivas yelamanchili

The oracle client has an ldap.ora file, how can I use ODP.NET to read the ldap.ora file and get list of oracle instances available?
Thanks,

How to Remove a bad mailbox server and add new mailbox server to DAG and copy mailboxes over

DAG
2- cas - VM
2- mbx- physical blade (mbx1, mbx2)
5- mailbox databases
OS: Win 2008 SP2
Exchange 2010SP3
Storage: Tegile Disk jbod Luns
We have bad disks on mbx1. our plan is to get a new blade to replace the bad one named mbx3. we need to do this asap since we are running on 1 server without failover capability
How can I safely:
1. Add a new mailbox server to the DAG
2. Copy\Move the databases from the old (passive) server to the new server
3. Remove the bad mailbox server from DAG

You'll want to make sure that the new server is on all the same networks that the server you are removing is on, specifically networks that are DAG networks. Also, you'll want to avoid using Windows Network Load Balancing on the new mailbox server
since it will be part of the DAG. Also, just as you did with the current DAG members, ensure that the disk drive letters match the existing disks that hold databases & logs. Other than that, it's as simple as you have stated.
1.) Once you have the new mbx server built & configured with the mailbox role, you can use:
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup "Name of DAG" | Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer "Name of New MBX Server"
2.) Add the databases to the new DAG member:
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy "name of database" -MailboxServer "name of new DAG member" -ActivationPreference "[you decide based on the server replacing mbx1]"
3.) Once your databases are Mounted and/or Healthy on the new DAG member, you'll want to remove the databases from the "bad" server (make sure they are all passive on the server first):
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopy "SERVER\Database" | Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy
4.) Once all of the databases are removed from the "bad" DAG member, remove him from the DAG:
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup "Name of DAG" | Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer "Name of old MBX Server"

Petri has a pretty good GUI walk-through for some of the above steps here:
