CME and user services

Can someone please tell me if CME allows users to configure their own speed dials and services using a url like on the CCM? If possible, can you please let me know what I would have to configure to allow this functionality? Thank you.

Hi Rose,
My understanding is that the "Personal" Speed dials can only be changed via the User's IP Phone except for User's who are running Extension Mobility (who can use the GUI interface). There is some excellent info in the last doc attached below;
To use a phone user account in the Cisco Unified CME GUI to configure speed dials on a phone that is enabled for Extension Mobility, Cisco Unified CME GUI 4.2.1 or a later version must be installed on the Cisco router.
Cisco Unified CME GUI Support
The Cisco Unified CME GUI provides a web-based interface to manage most system-level and phone-based features. In particular, the GUI facilitates the routine additions and changes associated with employee turnover, allowing these changes to be performed by nontechnical staff. The GUI provides three levels of access to support the following user classes:
â¢System administrator-Able to configure all system-level and phone-based features. This person is familiar with Cisco IOS software and VoIP network configuration.
â¢Customer administrator-Able to perform routine phone additions and changes without having access to system-level features. This person does not have to be familiar with Cisco IOS software.
â¢Phone user-Able to program a small set of features on his or her own phone and search the Cisco Unified CME directory. In Cisco Unified CME GUI 4.2.1 and later versions, phone users can use the GUI to set up personal speed dials for an Extension Mobility phone. The same credential for logging into an Extension Mobility phone can be used to log into the Cisco Unified CME GUI.
The user name parameter of any authentication credential must be unique. Do not use the same value for a user name when you configure any two or more authentication credentials in Cisco Unified CME, such as the username for any Cisco United CME GUI account and the user name in a logout or user profile for Extension Mobility.
The Cisco Unified CME GUI uses HTTP to transfer information from the router to the PC of an administrator or phone user. The router must be configured as an HTTP server, and an initial system administrator username and password must be defined from the router command-line interface (CLI). Additional accounts for customer administrators and phone users can be added from the Cisco Unified CME router using Cisco IOS software commands or from a PC using GUI screens.

Excel Services and User Specific Data

Hello,
I am new to Excel Services.
I want to retrieve data to Excel Services (at this phase, to prevent it in Excel Web Part) from SQL Server.
The SQL might hold big amount of data so I think about fetching only the data relevant to each user.
I configured a pivot table over a data connection with Windows Authentication, and when I refresh it I get the following message "The data connection uses windows authentication and user credentials could not be delegated". I think the Windows
Authentication is required in order to pass information about the user to the SQL query so it can filter for the relevant data.
My questions are as follows:
Can I pass user information from the Excel model file to the SQL server in a way different from Windows Authentication?
Alternatively, if I retrieve the data unfiltered to Excel Services, and filter only the pivot, will I get the same performance?
Would the answers change if Excel and/or SharePoint version is changed from 2010 to 2013 or Online/365?
Any other idea?
Regards,
Barak

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to filter Excel Services Data.
You can you can connect the Excel Web Access Web Part to a Current User Web Part or a Filter Web Part to pass user information. Please refer to:
Personalized Data in Excel Services
You will get the same performance.
You can connect the Excel Web Access Web Part to a Current User Web Part in all versions.

[Solved] Systemd user service and timer dbus error

I have installed arch recently and added a few of my own services, for example the acpi_call commands and such. Now I want to create a systemd service that runs every 5 minutes and execute a script.
I searched a lot and I found that I must use timers. I got the thing with the timers working, but because my script has to do with a specific user, I want it to run only every 5 minutes when i am logged in as that user.
I tried to put the files in /etc/systemd/users, .config/local/users and all the possibilities but everytime i want to enable it, it says dbus connection refused.
Can somebody please provide me a way to execute a systemd service every 5 minutes while I am logged in as a specific user?
I did follow the wiki and created a dbus service and all. Everything works on that side but i can't enable my user service.
thanks!

SMF and multi-user service not running

Hi,
I have an issue with several services not starting ...
As you can see, the multi-user services is "offline*" And it remains like this...
I've recently patched the system hoping it would resolve this issue, but no luck. Restarting the server does not help.
# svcs | grep multi-user
offline 14:14:21 svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
offline* 14:14:53 svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
# svcs -xv
svc:/milestone/multi-user:default (multi-user milestone)
State: offline since Wed Dec 05 14:14:53 2007
Reason: Start method is running.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M init
See: /var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user:default.log
Impact: 6 dependent services are not running:

svc:/system/basicreg:default
svc:/system/zones:default
svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default

Reason: Start method is running.The start method of milestone/multi-user is responsible for (among other things), running all the /etc/rc2.d scripts. If you've placed a startup script in there and it's hanging, you'll see this behavior. From memory, I think there's a 30 minute timeout before it gives up and continues.
During the problem period, you probably want to do a 'ps -ef | grep rc' and look for any rc scripts running. That will probably point to a startup script hanging.
DarrenThanks Darren,
That was the problem. A hung script in rc2.d/
What is odd, is that this script is the same on many of our machines and no problems have been found until now. Thanks for your help. Killing that processes made everything start properly.

E-Recruiting Users and their Service Assignments

Hello all,
I am running EREC 604 SP11 (Ehp4), with ECC 6.0 SPS5, TREX 7.1rev39, Portal 7.01.
My scenario is EREC+ECC one box, Portal seperate and TREX seperate. I've got everything set up for WebDynpro (as required with this release) and am having some trouble accessing certain web dynpro links, I think my problem is an early eRecruiting step of defining service users and their assignments to eRecruiting / web dynpro services in SICF.
Can anyone provide me with a list/table of service/reference users that need to be created, their attached roles, and which services they each need to be assigned to? I've looked all over and cannot glean this type of simple documentation.
Thank you very much for your time!

Hello,
The reference users and the respective roles would be;
Reference User / Standard SAP E-Rec Role /      Role name
RCF_ADMIN               /         SAP_RCF_BUSINESS_ADMINISTRATOR      / Administrator
RCF_CAND_EXT / SAP_RCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATE      / External Candidate
RCF_CAND_INT /      SAP_RCF_INTERNAL_CANDIDATE      / Internal Candidate
RCF_DATA_TYP /      SAP_RCF_DATA_TYPIST                           / Data Entry Clerk

RCF_RES_REC /      SAP_RCF_RESTRICTED_RECRUITER      / Restricted Recruiter
RCF_RES_SUCC /      SAP_RCF_REST_SUCCESSIONPLANNER / Restricted Succession Planner
RCF_SUCC_PL /      SAP_RCF_SUCCESSION_PLANNER     / Succession Planner
RCF_TC /                           SAP_RCF_TALENT_CONSULTANT      / Talent Consultant
The service user with the role and relevant services would be
Service user / Std. E-rec Role / Role name
RCF_UREG_CAND(*)      / SAP_RCF_UNREGISTERED_CANDIDATE /      UnRegistered Candidate
(*) - The naming convention as required
Required services;
hrrcf_a_unreg_job_search
hrrcf_a_candidate_registration
HRRCF_A_POSTING_APPLY
Service user is key for Un-registered candidates till the registration process is complete. I'm not sure if i had missed out any specific services with respect to Unregistered candidates. If so, probably some one else can add to the list.

CME and SRST user documentation

Hi all,
I am pretty new to IPT, and asked to prepare some documentation of CME and SRST on following:-
1. Pro and Con of deploy CME
2. Pro and Con of deploy SRST
3. Any comparison table between CME and SRST
4. Sample documentation of showing to users in a CME site on how to use the CME function. Example: user making call to other CME site or other SRST site.
5. Sample documentation of showing to users in a SRST site on how to use the SRST function. Example: user making call to other SRST site or other CME site.
Would appreciate anyone here to share your advice or experience, share of any link/url if you happen to see similar document. :-)
Thanks.
Regards,
Christopher

You should understand first that SRST is really nothing more than emergency mode for CM gateways or remote locations.
Comparing CM to CME makes sense, comparing CME to SRST does not.
However, it is impossible to put together comparisons and make recommendations unless you have previous experience with all these products.
So I recomend you get help from a reputable consultant or certified cisco partner.

Difference Between Service Account and User Account

What is the Difference Between Service Account and User Account

Hello Mohit,
Basically there are two types of approches which you should understand.
In many environments, administrators prefer to simply create a domain user account and assign appropriate privileges to it. Then this user account is used in order to start a specific service on a computer.
In that case there is really no difference between a user account and the so called service accounts. Since this service account is simply a domain user, all the task related to managing the domain users apply to it. For example you
should keep the password up to date manually. Some environment move step forward and assign
Deny Logon Locally of this type of service account in order to enhance the security.
The second concept is Managed Service Accounts. There are plenty of differences between a Managed Service Account and a User Account.
The Display Icon is different from a view perspective.
The type of object is different.
Managed service accounts password management is automatic.
You can not create Managed Service Accounts using GUI. They are only created using Powershell.
You can refer to link below for more inormation:
Service Accounts Step-by-Step Guide

Diff b/w Web service and window service

What is the difference between web service and window service, whether the both are same or not, Give some explain about that each one and give some examples also.

An XML Web service is a component that implements program
logic and provides functionality for diseparate
applications. These applications use standard protocols,
such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP, to access the functionality.
XML Web services use XML-based messaging to send and
receive data, which enables heterogeneous applications to
interoperate with each other. You can use XML Web services
to integrate applications that are written in different
programming languages and deployed on different platforms.
In addition, you can deploy XML Web services within an
intranet as well as on the Internet. While the Internet
brings users closer to organizations, XML Web services
allow organizations to integrate their applications.
A Windows service starts much before any user logs in to
the system (if it has been setup to start at boot up
process). A Windows service can also be setup in such a way
that it requires a user to start it manually ? the ultimate
customization!
Windows services run as background processes. These
applications do not have a user interface, which makes them
ideal for tasks that do not require any user interaction.
You can install a Windows service on any server or computer
that is running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT.
You can also specify a Windows service to run in the
security context of a specific user account that is
different from the logged on user account or the default
computer account. For example, you can create a Windows
service to monitor performance counter data and react to
threshold values in a database.

Correct idea to scale out testing environment and test service pack2 installation

Hi
I have a sharepoint 2010 farm it has one sharepoint server, one database server
In one server below services are running
Central administration service
SharePoint Server Search
User Profile Service
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application
so i want to scale out this form to
1 application server
1 web front end server
1 Search server (index server)
1 databse server
here how i scale out to this form
1)here how i move sharepoint server search service to new index server and
2) here how i move Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to new webfront end server
and in this single server some web appllications are running also how i move these to new wf server
i want to do like this because i want to test service pack 2 installation, now sharepoint version is : service pack1
my actual production environment has
2 application servers
2 webfront end servers
2 index servers
1 databae server
so this correct idea to scale out testing environment and test service pack2 installation
adil

Hi Adil,
The link below describes how to scale SharePoint Web Front-End with only web applications and the search query server out of one SharePoint server with all roles running.
http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2011/02/how-to-scale-out-a-sharepoint-2010-farm-from-two-tier-to-three-tier-by-adding-a-dedicated-application-server/
Now you have two SharePoint server with:
Tier 1 – SharePoint Server dedicated as a Web Front-End (WFE) with only the web application(s) and the search query service running on it
Tier 2 – SharePoint Server dedicated as an Application Server with all of the other service applications running on it, but no web applications or query service
Tier 3 – SQL Server for the databases
Then you would scale out WFE server with web applications from tier1. Now please install a new SharePoint server and join it to the existing farm and deploy it as Web Front Server. Enable the relevant services on Web Front servers per the topology picture
below, and stop the services running on the old server.

My experience in Toshibas product and customer services

Just a warning to people who may be considering purchasing a Qosmio based on my own experiences and the research I have done in the last week.
Toshibas customer service is simply not what it once was and there are 100s of reports of Qosmios of all generations suffering extreme issues just outside of warranty periods.
Ref: Toshiba Qosmio X500-149, Support call reference ********
I am writing to express my frustration, anger and disappointment in Toshibas product and customer services.
I am a Freelance Community Manager, Video Game and hardware reviewer in the video games industry presently looking after 2 communities for 2 employers totalling over 2.5m users, I travel to a lot of trade shows, expos and community meet and greets where I require a laptop suitable of showing the employers products which are usually AAA video games or editing video on the fly for publication to social networking sites.
In January of 2011 my 4 year old Alienware hit that point where it really needed replaced, I opted for a Toshiba Qosmio over the Asus G73 as there was a 300 price difference for near identical spec.
I managed to source a X500-149 at PCWorld the companies flagship model here in the UK paying 1499 for it on January 26th 2011 reduced from 1799.
For the 1st 13 month this laptop performed admirably aside a design issue of the fan guards that I raised on the 16th May 2011 with PCWorld where the heat expelled causes the rear guard plastics to become exceptionally brittle and crack. I evangelised the product to anyone who asked me what laptop and model it was that was running these AAA games in such great detail, something I certainly won't be doing in future.
In early March 2012 it then began randomly locking up requiring a hard reboot this would then suffer issues restarting, reporting Operating system could not be found this would usually point to a fault on the primary HD, disk checking software however reported no errors but this continued to happen which would lead me to suspect the motherboard.
Within a month of this problem starting the left laptop fan began making a horrible screeching noise and had a distinct wobble whenever high RPM's were required and the machine began to often go into thermal shut-down whilst performing my work duties and utilising graphics and higher than idle CPU.
I decided on the 23rd April 2012 that enough was enough and I was going to speak to Toshiba as for this to happen to a flagship laptop that was only just out of warranty was simply unacceptable.
23rd April called to report the issue and was basically told tough luck its out of warranty at this point I also updated my tel numbers with Toshiba as the info was outdated, after expressing my anger at this Toshiba agreed to offer me a extended warranty at a cost of 166.
I was fuming to say the least Toshibas flagship laptop breaks at 14 month old and I am expected to stump up more money. If I was not desperate as the machine is critical to my work I would have returned the machine to PCWorld under the sales of goods act and it not being fit for purpose.
As that course of action would likely lead to legal proceedings, engineer reports and even more delay than just dealing with Toshiba for a repair, against my better judgement I called back at 11am on 24th April paid the 166 and took Toshiba up on the warranty extension, order number ********** again having to provide correct tel numbers as where once again incorrect, immediately after I reported the faults.
Toshiba Support centre on fault reporting where great noting each issue in detail and raised a collection with UPS for the following day.
The evening of the 24th April whilst I was retrieving data from the laptop in preparation for factory resetting it the machine went into thermal shut-down with a very distinct smell of burning chemical/plastic coming from the rear vents.
It took me over 90 minutes to get the machine cool enough to actually reboot and get my data after this I shut it back down and boxed it up not be used again.
I thought the best course of action would be to report this as it was a fair step up from the previous overheating. Wednesday 25th April at around 9am I called Toshiba to report this and was advised this would have to be dealt with by a head office case manager, as the item had become hazardous thus the collection that would take the laptop to the service centre was cancelled.
At this stage the advisor took my contact numbers again and escalated the case to head office advising at that time that I would be called by HO within 24 hrs.
Thursday 26th April 15:31 Well past the 24 hr mark and no sign of a call so I called support again and spoke to a advisor called Jacob. Jacob advise that HO had indeed tried calling on 01670 ******* this number was my old number, this number was the number I had advised twice already was incorrect and had provided both a correct land-line and mobile number 3 times previously. To say I was annoyed was a understatement.
Jacob attempted to contact Chloe Sontag who was looking after my case but the line just rang out so Jacob advised that he had sent an email asking for Chloe to contact myself.
Friday came and still no contact by 15:00 so I called support who once again tried to patch me to Chloe who's number once again just rang out and again an email was sent asking to call me.
No call by 17:30 so I called tech support again and spoke to Ian asking for head offices number so I could call them direct, Ian provided the number yet advised that HO are now closed.
After expressing my frustration with this whole process and just how critical this machine is to my daily working life Ian promised to look into the case on Monday AM and try and expedite actually getting a phone call to at least start the process of having this laptop repaired.
To say I'm annoyed is really a understatement not only has this failure to receive a simple phone call at least delayed the repair by almost a week but it is costing me more and money daily when I spent a large amount on what I imagined would be a great laptop for 3-4 years and believed Toshiba actually had good customer service in the event something did happen.
My best guess is that Chloe is on holiday or is part time or such like as her phone just rings out and if that is the case then I would question why assign a case to her, if she isn't then I would want to know why after 2 additional mails advising that the customer is not happy and to contact them has there been no contact or are your case workers just so overworked with faulty products that they can't manage the workload ??
So far Toshibas inability to produce a product that last as long as you expect it would has cost me 2 days off work that I am having to make up this weekend thus cancelling prior commitments, 166 extended warranty 600 for a HP laptop that I had to go and purchase yesterday 27th April 2012 to actually perform my work on and who knows how much in phone calls by the time this matter will finally be resolved.
I was happy with Toshiba as a manufacturer and of course laptops can have issues however having now researched these issues far to many Qosmio X500 users report severe overheating just after the 12 month period or within it and many state that repair after repair has taken place but still to no avail, this on top of the cracking of the rear heat-sink guards has to be a design fault.
This letter will not arrive with you before I have hopefully had a phone call and my laptop has at least been collected for repair, If I have not had that phone call then I would expect another letter very shortly.
Why have I wrote this letter ? To express my disappointment with just how poor the durability of your flagship laptop is and also at just how poor your customer service are, 1500 is a lot of money in the PC purchasing scheme of things and to expect this quality of hardware and customer service is simply unacceptable.
I expect the repair to be expedited and if like some of the horror storys I have read online parts required will take 4 weeks + then I would expect a replacement laptop, not everyone uses these things for entertainment and whilst the HP I had to rush out and buy with money I didn't really have available can allow me to perform my core duties to the minimum it cannot allow me to perform my duties to my standards, my employers standards or my expectant communities standards.
This has been a really unfortunate series of events as I had been considering the X870 Ivy Bridge based on the Nvidia 670m Qosmio which would release soon and passing this X500 onto my partner but after these events and the fact that the HP laptop had to come out of the money saved for it then I can categorically state that will not be the case and I will instead opt for the Asus G55 or G75.
If this issue cannot be resolved to a satisfactory manner then I will have no option but to seek an independent engineers report as well as printing the myriad of similar reports of these issues on the internet and return the item to PCWorld.
In line with the sale of goods act 1979 a large electrical item has to be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose for a period of 6 years whilst I wouldn't expect the full 6 years from a laptop I would expect at least 3-4 year especially considering that this is a near 2000 flagship model not a 200 budget model.
This is a action I really do not want to take as it will likely end in small claims court against PCWorld a company that on this occasion has done nothing wrong, I do not believe in punishing those who are not at fault so its a action I really wouldn't be happy with and I'm sure PCWorld one of if not the largest vendor of Toshiba products when you incorporate the rest of the DSG group wouldn't be too pleased with it either.
Frustratingly

So I received my laptop back today after having fans replaced and a good clean as well as the top cover replaced.
Opened the box and took the laptop out 1st thing I noticed was a screw rattling around inside, SIGH!!!!
Plugged the laptop in and attempted to boot it at this point it just cycle through finalisation of windows install and shutdown.
How could a laptop have been tested if it didn't even have windows installed ?
An hour later and I gave up unplugged it and lo and behold it actually booted when on battery only.
I then noticed that the SSD was full, oh wait no it wasn't the head office engineer in his infinite wisdom decided that partitioning a 64GB SSD to 2 drives barely even leaving enough for Windows on the C: and wait for it putting the HDD recovery on the second partition was a good course of action.
So a completely borked install and a screw floating around inside remind me how this particular engineer has a job ??
I spent the next 15 minutes just moving data around and creating and deleting partiitions to fix this mess up.
Grabbed HWMonitor to check temps and at an idle 50c on CPU and 36c on GPU they didn't look too bad,
Installed the Toshiba recommended Nvidia driver a driver I hasten to add that was released in 2010 as Toshiba have not updated the drivers for their flagship series laptop since then, They are happy to take your 1643 that the unit cost but then don't expect support for it.
Anyway that aside I then installed 1 of the games I work on and began to run the machine through our benchmark software wooooosh the temps shot up to 90c+ on both CPU and GPU and remained at this temp for the duration of the benchmark never quite triggering thermal shutdown, I then loaded into a warzone for further testing and sure enough half way through it the machine shut down due to thermal shutdown.
I then uninstalled the toshiba driver and tried a NVidia one sure enough as others have advised actual Nvidia drivers seem worse and thermal shutdown came so much earlier.
I have been to PCWorld today to begin proceedings of returning outside of warranty due to not being fit for purpose or of suitable quality. This is costing me a further 60 and at least 2 weeks more without a proper machine and will likely result in me getting about 1300 back from PCWorld.
So lets do the math on just what this will have cost me by the time its finished.
1634 Original purchase
166 Extended Warranty
600 Backup Laptop whilst this was away for a month
60 outside of warranty assessment
50 phone calls
I will probably receive 1300 back but then 1300 doenst buy me the spec I need for work so I will have to pull out another 300-400 for the required spec so lets add that to the original figures.
A Toshiba Qosmio, Toshibas flagship laptop will have cost me in total 2910 almost double its actual retail price.
I will NEVER buy a Toshiba product again and it will become my lifes mission to let everyone know just how terrible they are.

Have you checked the Print Service log in event viewer?
Here's How.
I have the Microsoft XPS driver on my clients, so I use that fact to my advantage below.
Click Start Button/Administrative Tools/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Services Manager on the RDSH server
Click the Sessions tab. PC’s are listed Under Client Name by their computer name. Take Note of the corresponding
ID. We will use this to locate the Printer information in the Event Log.
In the Event Log open Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Print Service/Admin/ and Find the Event ID 823 entry that has the corresponding ID from the sessions tab you previously noted.
This Event Log Entry is created at Logon and you can only get the session ID when they are logged in.
This tells you what client printer was mapped for the client. The name that appears is the name of the Printer that was set on the client when the printer was installed.
See if you see any errors here.
If you see Event Id 823 with the following message “The default printer was changed to Microsoft XPS Document Writer,winspool,Ne00:. See the event user data for context information.” Twice in a row with no other messages in between, and the first occurs
at the time the user logged in, then their printer was not properly redirected.
You see the Microsoft XPS driver mapped for each session prior to Easy Print redirecting the client machine’s Default Printer.
Since your printer is the HP 1020 I would bet the driver on the client does not work with Easyprint. I would try the the HP Universal Print Driver or the driver for a printer that is very close, like the HP 1018.
Thanks,
Jeremy
