Client Installation on DMZ workgroup server

Hi,
Please let me know how the DMZ workgroup client communicate with SCCM 2012 server which is in domain.
Also what client installation properties we need to mentioned while manully installing the client on DMZ workgroup server.
Whether PKI certificate will required for authentication?
I thing only http 80 port will required for communication, please correct if I am wrong.
Please suggest.
Regards
Parag

A client in a workgroup and / or dmz has the same port requirements as any other client. For a complete list see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427328.aspx;
For some guidance on installing a client on a workgroup server see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712298.aspx;
It's not a ConfigMgr requirement that a client in a workgroup requires a PKI certificate.
The key is that the clients in the dmz can communicate and resolve the management point.

Workgroup Client Installation & configuration in SCCM 2012

Hi,
i have an internal domain named ECC-OCT.local which has internal IP 10.0.8.45 and SCCM server IP 10.0.8.47.
i have been installed SCCM Client Agent on a workgroup server manually but the site code not approved
(why ?).
Keep in mind that the DNS for the workgroup server was my public DNS Server which configured to hold secondary zone
for internal domain ECC-OCT.local.
If i assigned the 3rd dns server (on network card configuration) to ip 10.0.8.45 , the site code retrieved successfully.
what can i do to solve this issue?

Hi,
Based on your description, I recommend you check the MP record in DNS:
The SRV record must has been registered in DNS.
SRV record is published in DNS
Also, you can edit the LMHOSTS and HOSTS files on each client for the site code retrieve.

Remote Policy Initiation for DMZ Workgroup Servers

Hi,
I could successfully see the client as Active for a DMZ workgroup server. When forced run any policy from client properties on the server, it runs fine. However when trying to run the same from the SCCM console, it gives an error as below.
The area in "Black" denotes the name of the server. The message says "<Server Name> is not on".
The ports are already open and I have tested the patch deployments and it works successfully.

Patch deployment and client notification are two completely different things. Successful patching (or any other standard ConfigMgr activity/action) is meaningless when it comes to client notification. Also, client showing as "active" has nothing
to with client notification. Active simply means that the client has reported in to the MP recently (in the form hw inv, sw inv, heartbeat, or a policy request).
Client notification requires a persistent connection initiated by the client to the client's MP on port 10123 (or 80 as the client will fallback to 80 if 10123 if not available although this does cause more load on the MP).
However, the dialog you have above is not generated by ConfigMgr or client notification. It looks like it is being generated by one of the right-click tools which truly have nothing to do with ConfigMgr. For most of the tools to work, you must be able to
communicate from the console you are working on (since the console is calling the right-click tool) to the target system. Some right-click tools use psexec or WMI and some use WinRM. If the tool cannot make a connection on the appropriate protocol channel,
then it will give you the above message. Ultimately as mentioned though, this has nothing to do with ConfigMgr

SAP NW 7.0 AS JAVA Application Server Installation in DMZ : Win 2008 SR2

Dear Experts,
We are installing two AS JAVA application servers in DMZ (XYZ domain) and the central instance is running outside DMZ (ABC domain). While trying to give the profile path of the CI, in the application server installation, it says that the path cannot be found. We have opened the following ports 54200,54201,54204,54218,54230,3342,3641,3310,3610,8010,8011, and 25. The installation inside DMZ is run with a user which is part of local administration group. The DB (SQL 2008R2)is running on a different host in a distributed setup.
Could someone please let us know if any other port needs to be open to allow communication between the central instance and application server?
Help is appreciated.
KP

If FileSharing disabled, Firewal is open, unable to do ping test. How does the poor App server can access the Path from CI ?
Please request your network team to open firewal between CI and APP server otherwise, even if you install you might get other below access problems
1). user's in App server can't update CI
2). Jobs in App server might run as expected.
etc...

Client Installation does Nothing on Windows 2000 and 2003 Server.

6 Virtual machines running Windows 2000 or 2003 Server Enterprise Edition.
Only one (Win 2000) has successfully started and finished the 32bit client installation. Using win32_11gR2_client.
The other 5 do absolutely Nothing when I double click on the setup.exe.
Why?
Thank you.

Diff betn client installation & server Installation

can anybody pls tell me the difference between client installation & server installation of oracle 9i

The Client
The client is the front-end database application, accessed by a user through the keyboard, display, and pointing device, such as a mouse. The client has no data access responsibilities. It requests, processes, and presents data managed by the server. The client workstation can be optimized for its job. For example, it might not need large disk capacity, or it might benefit from graphic capabilities.
Often, the client runs on a different computer than the database server, generally on a PC. Many clients can simultaneously run against one server.
The Server
The server runs Oracle software and handles the functions required for concurrent, shared data access. The server receives and processes the SQL and PL/SQL statements that originate from client applications. The computer that manages the server can be optimized for its duties. For example, it can have large disk capacity and fast processors.
More at (Oracle Database Concepts guide) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/c01_02intro.htm#43056
So basicaly if you will install client then you will install binaries and libraries for connecting and using to database server.

OWF Server and Client Installation

Hi All
I want to install Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle Workflow Client in a WIN2000 machine.
In the SUN machine, I already have installed Oracle9i and OMS (Oracle Management Server) version 9.2.0.1.0. I want to install OWF Server there.
In the WINDOWS 2000 machine, I already have installed the Oracle9i Client and the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) version 9.0.3.35.0. I want to install OWF Client components there.
I have a OWB project, and I deploy and schedule JOBS in OEM. Now I need Oracle Workflow in order to better manage and schedule that jobs.
I've read the following documentation:

If you have the Oracle9i 9.2 installation CDs, you can install Oracle Workflow from the same CDs.
For the server, run the Oracle Universal Installer from your Oracle server installation CD for your platform. Within the Oracle Universal Installer, select the product Oracle9i Management and Integration. Then select the Custom installation type and select Oracle Workflow from the available product components. For more details, see the Oracle Workflow Server Installation Notes you mentioned.
For the client, run the Oracle Universal Installer from the Oracle client CD included in the CD pack for any platform. Within the Oracle Universal Installer, select the product Oracle9i Client. Then select the Custom installation type and choose Oracle Database Utilities as the component to install. The Oracle Workflow Client components are included under Oracle Database Utilities. For more details, see the Oracle Workflow Client Installation Notes you mentioned.

11.2.0.2 Grid Installation for a Standalone Server FAILED!

OS: OEL-5.5 x86_64 (kernel-2.6.18-194.17.4.0.1.el5, glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7)
Product: Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.2.0) x86_64 for Linux
Hi,
I was trying to perform a clean and full 11.2.0.2 installation for a Standalone Server (Single database + ASM + Restart), but unlike 11.2.0.1, this standalone patch, shipped as set of full installation files, has serious flaws mainly due to insane installation and configuration scripts. My environment is as follows:
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
GRID_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
all owned by oracle:dba. ASMLib was configured with four 256 GB partitions on four physical disks.
1. During grid installation the Prepare, Copy files, Link binaries, Setup files, Execute Root Scripts (root.sh), Update Inventory, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant all succeeded, but ASM Configuration Assistant FAILED and installation couldn't continue. That was because root.sh script (and inside it calling scripts) changed the ownership of ORACLE_BASE and GRID_HOME to root:dba, so that admin and diag directories creations in ORACLE_BASE were not permitted. After fixing that manually as root (immediately after executing root.sh), the installation continues and succeeds.
2. During installation of Client software the error message window appears stating that cannot find the /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/oui/bin/runInstaller.var file. By pressing the Continue button the installation continues ignoring this.
3. If Oracle Scheduler Agent is selected for installation during Client software installation, the Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot start (https problem - cannot establish connection). To fix this, I had to deinstall Client software and install it again without Oracle Scheduler Agent.
4. The Performance window in Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot display any graph ("Initializing" and "Transferring data from localhost..." never end).
Are those issues known issues? If they are, why did Oracle ship that standalone patch without testing it before? Given that prior release (11.2.0.1) was free of any errors above, it is really beyond me to figure out this negligence.
NJ

Are those issues known issues? Have you created service request ? That would be much better to be sure about the workaround you found.

ISE Posture Remediation issue with AV client installation

Problem: If user start AV client installation in pc via AV link remediation after some time (while AV client installation not completed yet) trend micro Update windows gets pop up but not start automatic AV or AS def remediation and Cisco NAC agent shows the message AV definition is not up to date.
Also some time NAC agent give message automatic remediation failed or required user intervention to press ok so NAC can complete remediation process.
I am facing this issues when users don’t have Antivirus client in pc and performing client installation.
We have the following posture policies,
1      AV installation check: if AV is not installed in PC then perform link remediation and let user to download the Antivirus client from provided link.
2      AV definition & AS definition version check (both remediation requirement I putted in one policy): if AV or AS definition version found old then perform automatic remediation.
3.     WSUS check
4      SP   check
Actually I want, first user install AV client via link remediation once installation complete then move to AV & AS def remediation if required (because in first time AV client installation it automatically download all update from the AV server) otherwise def remediate policy wait for AV client installation completion.
Please can anybody let me know how remediation work internally ? like if "AV inst" remediation start so nac agent wait for it completion and don't start other remediation process e.g AS & AV def?
Second question:what is remediation process sequence ?
Third question: is there anyway we can configure timer in remediation process e.g 5 min for AV inst then 3 min for AV & AS def remediation and then go to other posture remediations ?

Please check the below guide for Posture Configuration:

I think the installer finds some remenance of the old SMS_MP. When looking i found some remains in IIS . I tried to remove the remains but still have the same error when installing the client. I uninstalled IIS completly. Can someone tell me where the client
installer looks for the MP version? Would it help if i installed an SCCM MP on that server and the uninstalled it (Upgrade the MP)?

Their must be something remaining that ccmclean can't find or can' access so i ran ccmclean /mp. This did some stuff and told me the system was clean again. I reran the client setup.
Guess what
It worked !

Bug with Business Objects 3.1 Client installation. Very annoying indeed.

I have faced a few issues while developing with the Client installation (which includes the Client Development SDK) of business objects 3.1.
Some of the code just don't work with the client installation. They give Invalid cast exceptions. The same code will work fine with the server installation.
For a simple example, consider the following straightforward code to set the destination-
String query = "Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID "
          + " From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_PARENTID=29 and "
          + " SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'";
        InfoObjects destinationInfoObjects = infostore.Query(query);
        InfoObject infoObject = destinationInfoObjects[1];
        //Set the options for the disk unmanaged destination
        DestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (DestinationPlugin)infoObject;
        DiskUnmanaged diskUnmanaged = (DiskUnmanaged)destinationPlugin;
        DestinationOptions destinationOptions = diskUnmanaged.ScheduleOptions;
        DiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = new DiskUnmanagedOptions(destinationOptions);
        diskUnmanagedOptions.DestinationFiles.Add("C:\\");
        diskUnmanagedOptions.UserName = "your_username"; //Change these according to your logon settings.
        diskUnmanagedOptions.Password = "your_password";
        schedulingInfo = publication.SchedulingInfo;
        schedulingInfo.Destination.SetFromPlugin(diskUnmanaged);
This code will give an invalid cast exception as follows-
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoObject' to type 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.DestinationPlugin'.
This happens at the line -
DestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (DestinationPlugin)infoObject;
Now, this code works fine on a box where the server is installed.
I have noticed this with a few other areas as well where the code fails with client installation but works on the server. This is really annoying because all the deveopers now have to install the server on their boxes.
It is actually worse if just the Client Developer SDK is installed (and not the whole client). You would expect that just the SDK installation would be enough for one to do the coding. But doesn't work at all.
Have others not faced this issue?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your response. However, what I meant by client installation is exactly as what you have said below.
I start the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Setup, go to custom install, which shows up the following options-
Client Components
Web Tier Components
Server Components
Database Access
etc. etc.
Initially I unselected all, drilled down Client Components and just installed the Developer Components. But the code used to fail with an InvalidCast exception when we used to cast an InfoObject to a Report as following-
Report report = (Report)infoObjects[1];
This code used to work fine with earlier installations of business objects.
This happened with all 3 of us who installed just the Dev components. To get over this we installed the whole Client Components and the above problem got resolved.
And now we realize that even the whole Client Comp is not enough because it gives the casting problem while doing the destination stuff.
