Can I use the same database for two WSUS servers?

Hi Folks,
Our HQ WSUS database is on a dedicated SQL Server 2008 in HQ. We are planning to set up a replica WSUS server in a branch office (centralized management mode). But we want to check the WSUS reports (e.g. computer/update status) only from the HQ instead
of each branch. I have two questions.
I should not install the SQL Server in Branch, and specify the HQ SQL Server as the Branch WSUS server database, right? In this case, I can check WSUS reports of both HQ and Branch from HQ, right?
Can I use a specific update source (e.g. Microsoft Update or other WSUS upsteam servers) for Branch WSUS server instead of HQ WSUS server even it's a replica WSUS server?
Thanks,
高麻雀

Regarding to "If the branch office server is intended to be a replica server, then it must be configured with the HQ WSUS server as the update source", does it mean my branch WSUS server is only able to get the patches from my HQ WSUS server?
That is the fundamental premise of a downstream replica server.
Isn't it able to get the patches from Microsoft Update or other WSUS servers?
Well, here we may have a terminology challenge... so let me take a step back and answer this way:
A WSUS server obtains *updates* via the process of synchronization. Updates can be synchronized from one of two sources: Microsoft, or an Upstream WSUS Server.
Additionally, updates have a concept of APPROVAL. Approvals can be obtained from an Upstream WSUS Server when the server is configured as a REPLICA server; otherwise, Approvals are created at each individual WSUS server.
Finally, updates have FILES. Files can be obtained from Microsoft or the Upstream WSUS server, and this configuration option is absolutely independent of where the updates and/or approvals come from.
Please note: All of this is exhaustively documented and discussed in the
WSUS Deployment Guide. I would highly recommend reading it cover-to-cover.
In this case, there will a a lot of bandwith cost on the leased line which is only 2Mbps and intended for critical business like VDI/ERP applications.
A few thoughts here...
First a 2Mb/sec link is more than adequate to support a WSUS server downloading update files from an Upstream WSUS Server.
Second, using BITS you can configure when those files are transferred as well as how much of that 2Mb/sec is made available to the WSUS downstream server.
Third... Patch Management IS a critical business function. Do not let it be treated as a step-child or the VDI/ERP functionally will be irrelevant.
"after installing the replica server in the branch office, on the upstream server enable the option for Reporting Rollup", will the report information (computer/update status) be recorded in the HQ SQL Server?
The detail reporting data for the clients of the downstream replica servers is physically stored in the upstream server's database.

Is it possible to use the same Switch for two different clusters.

Yes. Technically there will not be any conflict as long as the private addresses used by the 2 clusters do not collide, and provided that the switch's port capacity and bandwidth will not be exceeded.
Your NA (netadmin) can also configure the switch to separate the 2 Interconnects from one another (called partitioning when using Infiniband) - if the switch supports such features.
A major consideration is not to make the switch, public. That typically cause a range of problems and can have a serious impact on an Interconnect. But using 2 private networks on the same infrastructure should not have the same problems - if configured and implemented correctly.

The computer will not erase the information. Each device will show up in iTunes as a separate device and you can control the information for each device through iTunes.

Migrating to Sharepoint 2013 from 2010 - Can you use the same URL for the Web Application without affecting the 2010 environment?

Hi,
I am currently trying to migrate our SharePoint 2010 environment to SharePoint 2013. The first thing I'm doing is creating a 2013 development environment to verify that this migration goes smoothly. I'm also doing this so that we will have a testing environment
after the upgrade to 2013 is complete.
So here is my question: I have a 3 tier farm including; 1 app server, 1 wfe, and 1 sql server. I have made a copy of our SharePoint 2010 database and installed that on our sql server 2012 sever (This new environment is on 3 completely separate servers from
our 2010 environment). I have also installed the prereqs and configured SharePoint 2013 on the App server and wfe servers, as well as configuring the necessary service applications (I have created a completely new 2013 database where I will migrate my 2010
database content when I'm ready).
I am now at the point where I need to create a new web application on the 2013 app server, where I will be migrating the copied 2010 database. (Also note that we have a 2010 development site called https://[email protected])
When I go to create a new web application in our 2013 dev environment, can I use the same url (https://[email protected]) to create this web app, or will this screw up our current 2010 dev environment?
I'm new to SharePoint migrations, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can share on this!

So, what you are recommending is that before I create a web application in my new 2013 environment, I need go into my hosts file on my 2013 app server and alter it to point to my 2013 wfe.
Then after I do that, then I can create my new web application on my 2013 app server with the same url as my 2010 testing environment
(https://[email protected]).
Then after that I should be able to access my new sharepoint 2013 environment at the same URL (https://[email protected])?
I must be missing something.
In your first reply, you told me to alter the host file on my 2010 app server and point it to my 2010
wfe (I guess I thought it probably already is). You also told me to alter the host file on my 2013 app server and point it to my 2013 wfe.
so I am confused on after I do this, what url would I access my 2010 test environment, and what url would
I access my 2013 test environment?
I am fine with having my test environment as a different URL until I am totally ready to roll everything over and kill the 2010 site. But I want to make sure that when I migrate my database, none of the site links are broken.
I also want to make sure that if I proceed this way, I want to be sure that I will be able to modify the URL to what my 2010 environment is (without a lot of headaches) when I am ready to kill the 2010 site.
Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated!

How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

How can i use the same id on two different laptops?

When trying to use the same login on two different laptops so that i can connect my nook to either depending on which one is free, i get the error that the id is already in use on another computer?

The issue is embedded in the way the software works. To comply with the
Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000, all software companies in this
business keep track of where their software is installed, making
information about the computer and ereaders part of an ID file. So, your
user ID is embedded in the ID file of each computer, but each computer has
a different ID of its own that is also embedded in that file. Adobe's
master server (yes, there is one that you connect to even if you didn't
know it) also has that information, and when you try to use an ID on one
that's embedded in the file of another, Adobe's server blows the whistle,
and as you can see, you can't do that....

Can I use the same material for C_BOWI_40

Hi All
A couple of years ago, I have attended SAP BOW310 and I have the course material for BOW310 as well, my questions is that do I need to obtain latest academy material again or I can use the same one. I can see the following details on my existing material...
BOW310
Web Intelligence Report Design I
SAP Business Objects - Business Intelligence
Participants Handbook
course Version 96
course duration 2 Days
Material Number 50103381
Owner: Ann Whitehead (I050533)
Now I want to give certification of C_BOWI_40 and I'm wondering that Can I use the same material or not....

Yes. If you use the iPad charger no problems.
If you use the iPhone charger, on iPad it will charge much slower, but it will still charge.

Can v use the same Client for setting the ALE ??

Can i use the same client like 080 for my ALE configuaration ?

Configuring is a Cross-Client(Client Independent) activity.
Check whether you have necessary access/authorizations to Configure.
This should be always done in Development client.
Hope this helps.

Can I use the same adapter for my ipad mini w/ retina display as I use for my iphone 4S?

I have an iPad mini with retina display and an iPhone 4S. Have both the small and large adapters (5W and 12W I believe) that came with the two products. I am traveling abroad and want to know if I can just use the smaller adapter (little cube-shaped one, 5W) for both the ipad and the iphone. OR, can I forgo taking the Apple adapters that were supplied, and instead use one of the travel adapters that has two 2.1-Amp USB ports?

You can use the 5W to charge the iPhone, but if it charges the iPad Mini Retina, it will be slow, so you would have to turn it off and let it sit forever to get charged. If you were going to take just one, take the 12 W on as you can use it to charge both devices without issue.
I would recommend getting the Apple travel adapters if you are going abroad. The 12W adapter should have a duck head you can pop off and put the international adaptation on there. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit

If I use a web font in my website can I use the same font for printed materials such as business car

I am a graphic designer intending to design a portfolio website in Adobe Muse. I plan to use TypeKit web fonts to design my website. Upon completioin of the website I intend to design business cards and my resume to match the look of my website. I would like to use the same fonts as I used on the website. Is it possible to use web fonts for printing purposes? If not, what do people typically do in this situation. The last thing I want to do is use a font that "looks" like the ones used on my website.

Hi redsoxfan15b,
(I think I may have replied to your Typekit Support ticket earlier today, but I will post the same information here to be certain.)
We have recently added a new feature to Typekit that allows you to sync fonts to your desktop and use them in print design. The announcement on our website has more information:
http://blog.typekit.com/2014/01/16/the-fonts-you-love-from-typekit-now-on-your-desktop/
Font sync is available on any Typekit Portfolio, Performance, or Business plan. Here is a list of all the font available for desktop use:
https://typekit.com/fonts?licenses=desktop
We are continuing to license more of the library for desktop use, but for now you should confirm that the font you would like to use it available for both web and desktop. And if there is a font you'd like to use that isn't available for desktop sync, you may also be able to purchase a license directly from the foundry.
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions! Best,
-- liz

HT204053 How do I use the same email for two different apple IDs?

I have inadvertently created two different Apple IDs throughout the years but now need my most recent one to use my email, but still want access to my old apple ID (if I can find it). The old apple ID has priority (the new one is not allowed to verify my email as it is linked to my old ID) with that email - can someone help me have the two IDs linked to the same email?
Thank you

AFAIK this is Not Possible. Each ID requires a Unique address

How can I use the same session for different components acroos application ?

I am trying to include the components(chat, filesharing, whitboard) in different parts of my application. User should be able to access any of the component. We would like to have a single "ConnectSessionContainer" so that we don't see same user creating a seperate session for each component.
Is there a better way of dealing with this other than declaring the "ConnectSessionContainer" in the main application ? Is there a way to check if we have a "ConnectSessionContainer" session already established ? Please help . Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Let me explain what I am trying to do..
I am trying to create components at different places(screens) of the flex application (not in the same .mxml file).
Each time I create a component, I am using a "AdobeHSAuthenticator" and "ConnectSessionContainer" which is resulting a new participant in the room.
For example
screen1.mxml -
<mx:Panel>
<rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
<rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
        <rtc:Roster id="myRoster" width="100%" height="100%" />
        <rtc:Chat id="mychat" width="100%" height="100%" />
</rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
</mx:Panel>
screen2.mxml (in the same application) -
<mx:Panel>
<rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
<rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
        <rtc:SharedWhiteBoard id="wb" width="100%" height="100%" />
</rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
</mx:Panel>
Here, I open a screen1 and authenticate as UserA and when I try to open screen2 flex is considering me as another user though I am in the same application.
1) How can I use different components which are in different flex files as a same User ?
2) Should I place my <rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator> and <rtc:ConnectSessionContainer> in the main application which calls the screen.mxml?
3) What is the best way to do it ?
Thanks for your time !
