Cloud DP for SCCM - Network Architecture Question

We currently have a full VPN tunnel back to our corporate data center. All of our remote clients are routed back to corporate and make a hairpin turn back to the internet if they attempt to access anything outside of our network. In other words, we
do not have any sort of split tunnel configuration.
With that said, we have multiple remote locations that only have client workstations and no servers, NAS devices, or anything that can be used for a distrib point we SCCM. We have been using workstations as distrib points for SCCM, but they are leased
and with so many locations it becomes a management night mare to keep track of when these distribution points come off of lease. With that said, is there any way that we could utilize cloud distribution points without a split tunnel network? Is it not possible
to allow exclusive tunnel to the a cloud DP based on an IP range without having a totally split tunnel network?
For those who may have faced a similar situation or have knowledge in this area -- any help is appreciated.
We are a bit concerned our network would be very congested if we didn't look at routing at least the DP traffic through a split tunnel.

I'm not a networking guy so take my answer with a grain of salt. If you cannot enable split tunneling for those clients to access the internet WITHOUT going back to corp I don't see the benefit of a cloud DP. Also, as Peter mentioned, there are
limitations with a cloud DP.
When I have discussed potential cloud DPs with my customers, we determined that the DP would only be used for Applications. You can't image from a cloud DP and software updates have the option to go to the internet if your DP doesn't have the package,
which would save you money, so in the end, only apps on the cloud DP.
Without knowing how many clients and the number of remote locations, if placing remote DPs is out of the question, I would leverage BranchCache and have the devices reach back to corp for content.

Network Architecture Question for ya...

At home we have quite the network. 12 active wireless IP's and 4 ethernet.
So, here's the question, in two parts:
1) Is it true that, say you have 10 wireless devices connected to a wireless .11n router, 9 of them .11n and 1 of them .11g, and the whole network bogs down to the .11g speed? and;
2) Why is my danged network so slow reaching he internet??? Using Speakeasy I usually only get 7Mbs to my MBP from the internet.
Yes, there's a lot going on in my network, but I can isolate everything (by physically turning everything off) and I still only get 7Mbs wirelessly to my MBP. I can connect my MBP directly to my cable modem (without rebooting or resetting the modem) and always get my advertised 25Mbs using the same Speakeasy test. However, I run a Time Capsule, in .11n only (2.4Ghz), off that cable modem. On the other end of the house, I extend my network using an AE whose ethernet port is connected to the WAN input of a D-Link wireless router in the .11g only mode. Both g and n are supposed to operate well above 25Mbs, so what's the deal?
Any ideas??

Oh... and I have and Apple TV on the "N" network.

Oracle VM Server for SPARC - network multipathing architecture question

This is a general architecture question about how to best setup network multipathing
I am reading the "Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.2 Administration Guide" but I can't find what I am looking for.
From reading the document is appears it is possible to:
(a) Configure IPMP in the Service Domain (pg. 155)
- This protects against link level failure but won't protect against the failure of an entire Service LDOM?
(b) Configure IPMP in the Guest Domain (pg. 154)
- This will protect against Service LDOM failure but moves the complexity to the Guest Domain
- This means the there are two (2) VNICs in the guest though?
In AIX, "Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) Failover" it presents a single NIC to the guest but can tolerate failure of a single VIOS (~Service LDOM) as well as link level failure in each VIO Server.
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/aixpert/entry/shared_ethernet_adapter_sea_failover_with_load_balancing198?lang=en
Is there not a way to do something similar in Oracle VM Server for SPARC that provides the following:
(1) Two (2) Service Domains
(2) Network Redundancy within the Service Domain
(3) Service Domain Redundancy
(4) Simplify the Guest Domain (ie single virtual NIC) with no IPMP in the Guest
Virtual Disk Multipathing appears to work as one would expect (at least according the the documentation, pg. 120). I don't need to setup mpxio in the guest. So I'm not sure why I would need to setup IPMP in the guest.

Hi,
there's link-based and probe-based IPMP. We use link-based IPMP (in the primary domain and in the guest LDOMs).
For the guest LDOMs you have to set the phys-state linkprop on the vnets if you want to use link-based IPMP:
ldm set-vnet linkprop=phys-state vnetX ldom-name
If you want to use IPMP with vsw interfaces in the primary domain, you have to set the phys-state linkprop in the vswitch:
ldm set-vswitch linkprop=phys-state net-dev=<phys_iface_e.g._igb0> <vswitch-name>
Bye,
Alexander.

I've just bought an ipod touch. I cannot get beyond the question asking me for a network name. I don't have a mobile telephone which I think this question is referring to. All I want from an ipod is to listen to music. What should I do?

You have to activate a new iPod by either setting it up via wifi network that has an internet connection on to connect to a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection.
You can go to an Apple store or or to a friend's house if necessary

Need advice for starting a Managed Cloud Service for Small Businesses

I hope this is in the right forum. I have done a lot of research and searching but havent found anything that specifically answers, in total, what I am wanting to accomplish. I live in a small town and want to start a Managed Cloud Services for
small to small-medium business in my area (2-30 users for each business). I want to market this to have businesses replace their in-house server(s) to virtual ones I would host in a local Data Center with my own equipment that I would maintain. I
am just starting off so I don't have any clients I do this for currently, but I get asked about this frequently. I want to run a 2012 R2 Domain Controller and a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server. The virtual servers I will host are going to be for AD, RDS,
FTP, and files. Software examples that people are going to be using these virtual servers for are Quickbooks, Sage Accounting, Remote Desktop or RemoteApp, custom CRM or small database software, Office 2013, etc. No Exchange currently but will
probably configure something for that in the future (maybe run 1-3 virtually for now if someone asks, but will only do it if the user base is fairly small ~under 10 users). I only have 1 static IP to work with over a 100Mbps connection up and down.
For hardware, I am figuring something along the lines of this:
(1) 1U, single CPU w/2-4 cores, 8GB, 2x73GB SAS 10k RAID 1, Dual PSU, running Windows Server 2012 R2
Domain Controller
(1) 2U, 2x 8-core Xeon ~2.6Ghz, 80GB RAM, 8x600GB SAS 15k in Raid 10 for Storage (VHDX files, etc), RAID 1 small Basic drives (or USB stick) for OS, Dual PSU, Quad GB Nic which I can use for load balancing/teaming, Hyper-V
2012 R2
Hyper-V Virtual Server
(1) GB Unmanaged Network Switch & (1) Cisco 5510 Firewall
Most of my questions are about the best way to configure this. I am planning on managing my Hyper-V from the physical Domain Controller server. Each virtual server will have RDS & (possibly) AD services on a single server.
1) I want to replicate the physical Domain Controller. Should I get another server or just virtualize the replica in Hyper-V? I understand that if the Hyper-V goes down, so does my DC replica.
2) Should I use my Domain Controller to manage ALL users on each virtual Server, by creating separate Organizational Units for each business?
3) Should I setup my domain controller with Hyper-V management and then each Virtual Server I setup be a separate domain (Ex. mydomain.local, business1.local, business2.local, etc)? Each one has no connection to any
other, completely seperate. Or should I do subdomains (business1.mydomain.local).
4) What I have read is that Subdomains are a pain to manage with user rights, etc. I want to keep each server complete separated from one another over a network connection, I suppose the VLan through Hyper-V options
do this? I dont want wondering users to stumble upon another businesses files (I know they would probably be prompted with a login for that business/domain).
5) For each virtual server, I want to create and have an HTTP subdomain point to that server from my domain name. (Ex: business1.mydomain.com, business2.mydomain.com, etc.) I want them to be able to have access to
only their RemoteApps or be able to type that address in their Remote Desktop program as the host name. This would be for viewing the RemoteApp login page and RemoteApps for that business over HTTP/S through a browser.
6) If I do not have separate DC's in each virtual and my main DC manages each one, is their a way to connect up each companies RemoteApps using a single site that only shows what they are assigned to based upon their login?
(Ex. http://login.mydomain.com which then shows that user what they are assigned on their own virtual server)
7) Since each business will use the same ports for RemoteApp (443) & RDC (3389 unless I change it), how would I setup the subdomains to point to their correct server and not overlap for mess with any of the other servers
since its all over 1 static WAN IP for all servers. Thats why I figured setting up IIS subdomains would solve this.
8) For backups or Hyper-V replication, is it better to have software that backs up the ENTIRE Hyper-V server (Acronis Advanced Backup for Hyper-V) as well as replication or just backups? Or should I do separate file
backup on each virtual with a replica? Can a replica be a slower server since its just a backup? (Ex. 1x 8 core, 80GB, 8x600GB 10k SAS)
9) For the servers that will be using FTP, can I again rely on the subdomains to determine which server to connect to on port 21 without changing each FTP servers ports? I just want each business/person to type in
the subdomain for their business and it connect up to their assigned FTP directory over port 21.
10) If the physical DC manages DNS for all Virtual servers, can I forward sub domain requests to the proper virtual server so they connect to the correct RemoteApp screen etc. Again all I have is 1 IP.
I hope all of these questions make sense. I just want every business to be independent of each other on the Hyper-V, each on their own virtual server, all without changing default ports on each server, each server running RDS, (possibly) AD, (a few) FTP,
and all over a common single WAN IP. Hoping subdomains (possibly managed through IIS on the physical DC) will redirect users to their appropriate virtual server.

If you really want to run your own multi-tenant service provider cloud, Microsoft has defined the whole setup needed.
They call it Infrastructure as a Service Product Line Architecture. You can find the full documentation here -
http://blogs.technet.com/b/yuridiogenes/archive/2014/04/17/infrastructure-as-a-service-product-line-architecture.aspx
There are several different ways of configuring and installing it. Here is a document I authored that provides step-by-step instructions for deploying into a Cisco UCS and EMC VSPEX environment -
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/UCS_CVDs/ucs_mspc_fasttrack40_phase1.pdf
This document contains the basic infrastructure required to manage a private cloud. I will soon be publishing a document to add the Windows Azure Pack components onto the above configuration. That is what would more easily provide a multi-tenant
experience with a Azure look and feel. It is not Azure, but the Azure pack is a series of applications, some of which came from Azure, the provides Azure-like capabilities only in a service provider type of environment.
Whether you use my document or not (which has actually corrected errors found in the Microsoft documentation), you should take a look at it to see what it takes to put something like this up, if you are really serious about it. It is not a small undertaking.
It requires a lot of moving pieces to be coordinated. Yes, my document is designed to scale to a large environment, but you need the components that are there. No need re-inventing the wheel. Microsoft's documentation is based on a lot of
real hands on experience of their consulting organization that has been doing this for customers for years. This one is also know as Fast Track 4. I've done 2 (2008 R2) and 3 (2012), also and it just keeps getting more complicated based on customer
demands and expectations.
Good luck!

How to set up a basic file sharing server for my small architectural business?

I have no idea if I have posted in the correct area as this is my first forum post within the apple support community!
I have been using a 21.5" imac running 10.6.8 for the past 5 years to run my small home based architectural design business. I have been using the internal hard drive & backing up the necessary data to a simple usb external hard drive. I am now looking to firstly purchase a new imac 27" retina and purchase new autocad lt 2015 for mac software. I am looking to have another imac (my old mac) running in conjunction with the new mac. I want both macs to be able to access the same data and am slightly unsure what is the best way to achieve this.....As my old mac is currently only running snow leopard and an old version of autocad for mac 2011 it wont run on any more recent OS. Essentially i believe I have 2 main options with this.... (1) I Accept that I have to purchase 2 no. autocad lt 2015 licences @ a cost of £2300. Or option (2), I only run autocad on the new mac as this will be the primary station and the old mac used for primarily for admin & accounts. I have also recently discovered that it is possible to rent autocad licences for £300p/a which may also be another option (3)!
I previously had a problem where my hard drive failed on my mac & lost all data on the internal hard drive, luckily I had been backing up all data regularly to my external hard drive and now loss occurred! Obviously with any new system I want to ensure that my data is safe!
I currently utilise about 250GB of data for business operations but this will obviously grow with time.
In the future I would like to have the option of potentially being able to access the network data remotely via macbook pro whilst abroad although at this stage this really isnt my primary objective. Although I believe I could achieve this through apple remote desktop.
I suppose I should provide some information with regard to the required speed of the system...I regularly open 50-100 photos at the same time totalling around 250-500MB. I would like the system to be able to handle this fairly easily.
I have been trawling through forums and to be honest they are totally confusing me. I have also spent time on the phone to the apple business team and have also discussed my objectives with a member of the apple team in store.
There have been various options advised to me and I really do not know which is the most appropriate route forward.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!

Hi sblemings,
Welcome to the community.
I think with your scenario you should ask yourself, how complicated do you want the setup to be and how much time would you have to be able to resolve an issue should one occur with this setup.
All the options that have been advised would work but they come with complexity and therefore time.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!
option 1
Would be a way to achieve what you want, it would centralise your files and you would only need to backup your file server (as long as all the files you wanted backed up were on it). This could be achieved either using the client and sharing various folders or using Server which would give you more options than you would possibly need.
option 2
This is exactly like option 1 except that you wouldn't have to administer another mac however you may limit any future growth.
option 3
This option I probably wouldn't pick, you could achieve this with firewire and use a firewire to thunderbolt adapter (saves you having to buy a new iMac)
option 4
This option would, depending on your RAID level, give you disk redundancy but remember you would still need to back this up, as RAID is NOT a backup solution.
I would also ask is there a pressing need to keep the old iMac in service and complicating things by having a server / NAS? Could you not just transfer all your information over to this and continue with the one backup? I would say that doing it this was would be the simplest way of achieving what you want from what I can take from your question.
As for remotely accessing your data, if you have the right hardware the way to achieve this would be to use a VPN and connect back to your data. However a potentially easier way for you ,would be to use a service like logmein or teamviewer to connect back.
Hope this helps, and by all means any questions please ask.

EDW Architecture question

Hi experts.
I was searching for orientation in SAP help about EDW architecture details, but I didnt find anything.
Were developing a new BW (2004s version) project and the challenge is to have one physical layer with EDW and another layer just for reporting.
My question is about the communication between these two layers, as long as they are in two different machines. If my reporting layer infocubes are loaded by EDW layer DSO´s how can I create a transformation linking both objects? Is it possible? Or our concept is not right?
Thanks in advance.
TP

Physical layer with EDW: It will be the Modeling area and data will reside in your InfoProviders (DSO/Cube etc).
Rreporting: You will use Front-Ent which is BI Reporting Tools to create, edit, use reports in Bex tools like Analyzer, WAD, Report Designer. And data will be coming from your InfoProviders.
My question is about the communication between these two layers, as long as they are in two different machines.
Do you mean to keep two production server where one will be used just for backup and another one for all users? BTW users will be using reports only through BW Reporting Tools and they will be able to access through network.
If my reporting layer infocubes are loaded by EDW layer DSO´s how can I create a transformation linking both objects? Is it possible? Or our concept is not right?

Look for: components used for Service Brokerage (CSB) for mobile networks

I am looking for developers/company offering components used for Central Service Brokerage (CSB) for mobile networks. It aims to store consumer profiles and directs service requests (shopping, travel & meeting services, hospitality and insurance) from mobile consumers to connected retailers and appointed service providers.
I would be higly interested in almost ready to use components/architecture which can be used in new service/start-up situation.

Hey Anthony,
Yes, a lot to read, thanks for reading though!
For the External Web Services, since I have it set to fe-pool.domain.local right now, I figure this is as simple as flipping it to fe-pool.domain.com within Topology Builder | Enterprise Edition Front End Pools | Edit properties | Web services?
After which, I assume I will need to create a new host A record for fe-pool.domain.com, pointing to the Pub IP 1.2.3.4 I have set up to forward directly onto my FE Server of 18.20? I am a bit of confused as to how this external web service is contacted,
does the mobile app use lyncdiscover.domain.com to find this information? In other words, does the lyncdiscover allow the mobile app to get inside the topology, the topology reports to the mobile app that "Hey, fe-pool.domain.com is going to be your External
web service as defined in the topology" ? If its just that easy this should be a quick change.
As for your next question, on the F5 level I'm pretty certain it is just set to take any packets coming in from pub IP 1.2.3.4 : 80 or 8080, or 443, or 4443, to allow it to go to that FE server IP on any of those ports. I don't believe it is actually taking
a 443 packet, and converting it into a 4443 destination. Also note, I am forcing lyncdiscover to use port 80, instead of 443 because I am unable to get a new pub cert with the lyncdiscover SAN.
As for the domain user, it is simply just my single user and I am flipping the SIP domain in the control panel within the user properties. domain.com and domain.local are both configured SIP domains in my topology, however i have domain.com as the default.

GPRS networking : Noob question

I am making a wireless remote data acqusition vi. This is not exactly a labview question, but I do know that quite a few labview guys have done wireless remote data acqusition, and like me are from engineering and non IT background, so you guys will understand my noob conceptual problem. Any experience shared will have kudos.
1. If my understanding correct for my gprs network?
I got the below ordinary USB wireless modem people normally use for internet browsing.
I plug the usb wireless modem to my laptop. I go to whatismyip.com, it shows the IP address 220.255.7.139. I type ipconfig, it shows the IP address is 119.234.164.229! So why is the two Ip address shown is different? I as a noob thinks that whatismyip.com is showing the gateway address of my usb modem gprs network visible to the internet. And ipconfig is showing the ip address of my usb modem inside the GPRS APN but not visible to internet. Is my understanding correct at this point?
2. I then unplug and plug the usb modem, check the ipconfig, and repeat. I notice each time the Ip address shown in ipconfig is different. This shows that the modem ip inside the GPRS APN is a dynamic IP, not a static IP. Is my understanding correct for point 2?
3. I unplug and plug the usb modem, and check whatismyip.com. I notice the each time ip address shown in whatismyip.com is different. This shows that my usb modem gateway is appearing as a dynamic IP address in the internet, not a staic IP as one noob would intuitively think. Is my understanding correct for point 3?
4. So below is my overall understanding of my usb modem core GPRS network architecture. Is my conceptual understanding correct?
5. So now I have a Sierra Wirelessmodem RavenXT, which manual claims that my PC vi can find the RavenXT inside the GPRS APN with the help of DDNS (dyndns.com) without the need for static IP. Well from my understanding, DDNS would only work if the RavenXT has static IP inside the APN. If the RavenXT has dynamic IP inside the APN , from my understanding above, the DDNS cannot find the dynamic IP in the GPRS APN, because dyndns.com is in the internet world, there is no DDNS in the GPRS APN. So the DDNS concept generally would not work if the office PC is to find a remote modem wirelessly and the IP addresses inside the GPRS APN are dynamic.
But however DDNS for Sierra Wireless Raven XT is used extenstively in USA. So I estimate that USA's GPRS APNs generally assign static IP inside its private network, unlike the GPRS networks my country. Is my understanding correct? What is your experience of this?
Message Edited by sunflower2772 on 02-05-2010 03:10 AM

I'm no expert on these matters but I'm fairly certain that for 1 to 4 you have concluded correctly.
Not having dealt with DynDNSso far I'm not sure about the last point. DynDNS as far as I understand it, only is a simply service to register your dynamic public IP adress under a fixed DNS name, so you can refer to your dynamic IP system from the world wide web by a static DNS name. As such I'm not sure why the dynamic internal IP address should be even an issue.
Modems supporting DynDNS simply will on the assignment of a new external IP address forward that address to the DynDNS service as new address to the configured DynDNS name. If a modem doesn't support that out of the box I'm pretty sure DynDNS supports a protocol interface where you could write a small LabVIEW VI to register a new IP address for an existing DynDNS name. Maybe it doesn't even require your VI to know the currently used external IP address as it could easily see that from the originating address of the connection.
The modem itself will simply forward any incoming connection to your computer, independant of its dynamic internal IP address, provided your network rules in the modem are configured for that correctly.

Adobe Creative Cloud Packager for macintosh fails

Adobe Creative Cloud Packager for macintosh fails.
The error log says "[ERROR] AdobePackageBuilder - AdobePackageBuilder : SendPacket returned error : -1".
I tried 4-5 times.
Everything is downloaded (took about 14 Gb).
I now have only 12Gb free space on my disk. Can that be the reason (will the packager need to make a copy of the downloaded stuff?).
When I am done, how do I reclaim the space eaten by the packager?
Seems like it is caching it at ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CCP, but will I manually have to delete that cache?
I cannot find a menu entrance for doing so.
Would be nice if the packager could use a mounted network disk as destination, but it seems not to discover these.
/Peter Andersen

Wanted to join in and say this has been happening to me too. I wiped every adobe file I could find, and used the cleaner too. Started over from scratch in a brand new user account.
It's been about 7 days and I cannot get CCP to actually build a package. I've gotten a variety of messages but everything single time something fails. The new thing is that it says it fails on individual applications. So I disable them, and the error jumps to a new app. I can see that the .dmg's are fine and intact in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CCP/
Given the amount of time this has cost me I really wish I had purchased CS6 Master Collection for every workstation. From my perspective, Creative Cloud has been nothing more then a giant waste of time and effort. It's genuinely bad product from an IT management perspective. Why push off the job of building and installer onto the customer? I should just be able to download the full Master Collection dmg, and then turn on and off the apps I want. Instead I am stuck with a workstation down, and everyone using CC trials to work.

WRT 1900AC and Windows 7 network naming question(s)

Background: I had a Linksys E3000 up and running for about 5 years in a stable network environment. The E3000 died, and I put in a new WRT 1900AC to replace it. In the process of getting things set up correctly the main "network name" in my network displays shows up as a name assigned to a Wireless portion of my network. The "Wired" portion shows up in diagrams, and to windows, as well as both of the main wirless bands but not as the central node between either of the wired Win7 computers and the internet I would like to get the Windows 7 machines on my network to display the wired network name in Windows 7 as the primary network, and NOT one of the wireless ones. Almost everything I want to be able to do is working just fine except for the network map display in Windows 7 where I have been trying to configure a "home group" that will not yield to my efforts.,
I use "suffix" notation in the naming, so my router on ethernet is .<ame>..NET, the wireless lower band is <name>...W24 upper band is <name>...W5. I have not figured out how to get the artifacts of the "setup sequence of events" out of the Windows 7 displays in "network neighborhood" so I have a more rational picture that has Ethernet at the core and the wireless bands as additional subsidiary networks not necessarily associated with all my devices. I know this is not technicallly a Linksys issue, but... Can I simply delete alll the neworking information in Windows 7, and reboot, and then force the computer to set up a network based on the correct network node labels. provided by the router? I'm a bit worried that I might have to "reset" everything which would be a huge **bleep** since almost all of what I want to do is working just fine, I'm just not quite clear some times whether the process of connecting from one computer to another, or to a NAS attached to the router is going through the wired network or the wireless one where performance can be a big issue. My Ethernet is "certified" at 1gbps which is a lot faster than the wireless networking. Sometimes it seems that accessing the NAS attached to the router is being done "through a tiny straw, not the fast pipe in the wiered world. I used to do a lot of NETBIOS networking in Windows "back in the day" and my network naming conventions have probably not kept up with the times, but I still have two Windows XP computers wired into my household network, and when "debugging" things I think of the Ethernet as central and the wirless portions as additional networks, not the other way around. Unfortunately Windows 7 seemed to grab the wireless names first, probably because the machines in question both have wireless and wired connectivity built in and available in their hardware and the one that was set up and working with the old router when the new one got plugged in was used to do the initialization initially using the default sequence built into the router software. I was able to go back and rename everything to get rid of the default names, but my Android based network monitor only works within range of the router and not when the phone is connected to the internet outside of the house. I've never been able to get the phone support folks to help me clear that issue up either. .. When I added the second computer, the same thing happened out of the box, Windows took the name of the first wireless network it found and put it into the network neighborhood as the device in the path between the new computer and the internet, I can "see" the host name of the router correctly from everywhere, and map to the 1TB disk I have hung on it from all of my computers, but the Internet connection is actually an ethernet drop from a cable modem to an ethernet port on the router, not to either of the wireless bands that show up.

@zundapman Hi! What's the current firmware of your router? Make sure that your firmware is up to date with the latest version. Also, are you referring to the Windows explorer's map or the User Interface map of the router or the Network and sharing map of your computer?

I am trying to restrict color printing on my laserjet 4700dn for my network

Here is my issue. I am trying to restrict color printing on my Laserjet 4700dn for my network. I have configured it for "color if Allowed" and all works perfectly. I was then going to allow certain users to print in color so I started by configuring my username and allow color. Every time I print it is still in black and white. I then decided to look at the color usage log and what I found would explain why. The color usage log only shows the username of one user on my network. All other jobs just show the date and number of pages. So my issue is why can my printer not see all the other users and how do I configure it to do so. Also why would only that one user show in the log. It also does not show any applications but it does for that one user. Is there something else that needs to be installed on the computers for it work?

How choose which partition of my external drive I use for my network

Hi,
I just bought a Linksys E3200 router for my network house. The setup was easy and everything work fine... well.. almost everything. I have a Iomega 1To external drive whit 2 partition ; the first one is a mac os extend for my Time Machine backup and the second one is NTSF for sharing my picture and music. I use the cisco connect software for setup my storage whit my external drive but I can't see the NTSF part. I can write/read in my mac partition but I don't want to use that part on my network.
My question is : Can I have 2 partition on my network? If not, how can I choose the partition I wanna use.
Thanks.
PS: I'm sur you notice it but english isnt my first language, sorry if isn't clear.

Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

Configuring Reporting services for SCCM 2012

Hi,
I just finish create SQL reporting services ( configure Database, report manager URL) in SQL 2008 R2 for SCCM 2012. When I open the Report option in SCCM console (Monitoring --> Report), no report listed there and then I try to add in Reporting service
point for it, but get an error message
"There is a problem connecting to the specific reporting server. Please check the connection and make sure SQL reporting service is running on the specified server"
I manually browse to http://sqlserver/reportserver or
http://sqlserver/reports , that is no any folder exist there (I assume when I configure reporting service it will automatic create a folder for it with all report inside?). Anyone can guide me on how to solve this issue?
Regards,

No Connect / Answers for gv (Network Administrator)

To refresh your memory, my 2 PC's are wirelessly perfect now, but my laptop is not networking beyond "seeing" the Router via the "Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility", and even that continuously shows "Authenticating", and disconnects & reconnects every minute or so.
Answers to your specific questions below (your paragraph pasted @ bottom in entirety).
Do the security settings on my router & laptop match?
WRT54G Router Configuration, Wireless Tab, Basic Wireless Settings Subtab:
* Wireless Network Mode: G-Only
* Wireless Network Name (SSID): linksys_SES_46146
* Wireless Channel: 9
* Wireless SSID Broadcast: Enable
* Status: SES Security Parameters Configured
WRT54G Router Configuration, Wireless Tab, Basic Wireless Security Subtab:
* Security Mode: WPA Personal
* WPA Algorithms: TKIP
* WPA Shared Key: **************** (my actual key is the same on all)
* Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
DELL B130 Laptop utilizing the 1470 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card:
* Wireless Network setup & managed by: "DELL Wireless WLAN Card Utility".
* Connection Status: Authenticating (Always - never "Connects or locks on" & breaks regularly).
* Encription Type: TKIP; Key Absent (I think that means hidden).
* Network Connection Type: Infrastructure.
* Speed: 54.0 Mbps
* Channel: 9
* AP Mac Address: 00:18:38:FD:21:AF
* Gateway IP Address: Not available
* Client Mac Address: 00:14:A5:CC:77:28
* Client IP Address: 0.0.0.0
Note: The software reports a strong signal from the WRT54G & even sees a few other weak encrypted signals, but nothing shows in Windows Explorer or My Network Places. It's own diagnostics report the laptop's wireless card is working fine. I have been wanting to take this laptop to a hot spot cafe to test the unprotected wireless connectivity & if that works possibly implicating my security settings on the router.
Any advice or tips would be much appreciated as I would love to add this laptop to the already successfully networked pair of desktops (the remote desktop PC utilizes the Linksys "Wireless-G" Card & software.
Thx,
Wayne K.
Your (gv) original text:
Regarding the wireless connection problem: You should check whether the wireless security settings on the router and on the laptop match. There are different ways for encryption etc. and if the settings don't match you cannot connect properly.
For this: go to http://192.168.1.1/ and enter the router password (not the wireless network key) which you have chosen during setup. The default password is "admin". You don't have to enter a username. It brings you to the router configuration pages. Go to the wireless tab. There are subtabs for basic wireless setup and wireless security. Please post current settings.
For the settings on the laptop there are several options how it uses its wireless card: many laptops come with special software for the wireless card which is used to set it up and connect to wireless networks. You have to find out how your software works and where you'll find the settings if this is the case.
Some laptops simply use the windows built-in functions called Windows Zero Configuration. To check that, you right-click onto the wireless network icon in the tray and select Properties (or Status and then press the Properties button in the status window). Change to the wireless networks tab. The top checkbox should be active, i.e. Windows is configuring your wireless connections. In the bottom half you'll see the list of preferred networks. Select the network with your network name (the SSID from the router configuration above) and press Properties. Post which settings you have currently for your network on the tabs in the window showing up.

BTW, please stay in the thread next time. It makes things easier to follow.
O.K. I see a possible issues here:
- The Dell status does not show which network name you are connecting to. That should be "linksys_SES_46146".
- I think "Key Absent" rather means there is no key entered.
- The AP MAC address is strange. The 00:18:38 is not Linksys but a company called PanAccess in china. That does not mean it is not correct but you should verify it: the MAC address of your router should be printed on the label underneath the printer. This should match.
