Communicator 2010 client connection with Akamai.

hello all,
Our Communicator 2010 clients are connected with Akamai ( a92-122-208-27.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com). I thought to check for updates but aim I not sure of the reason.  But we use SCCM to update our clients.
The question is how to disable this connectivity to Akamai?

On Step 8 I found multiple product codes for the Conferencing Add-In for Outlook.  Here's a list of the ones I found in the machines on my network:
{987CAEDE-EB67-4D5A-B0C0-AE0640A17B5F}
{2BB9B2F5-79E7-4220-B903-22E849100547}

{C5586971-E3A9-432A-93B7-D1D0EF076764}
I'm sure there's others one, just be mindful that this add-in will have numerous product codes.

  • For Your Consideration: Ultimate Lync 2010 client install with SCCM 2007

    While the subject of my post may be very presumptuous, I submit the following for your consideration to answer the often-asked question about how to deploy Lync 2010 client with SCCM.
    Background:
    I cannot understand why Microsoft made the Lync install so darned confusing, complex, and convoluted.
    After our Lync 2010 FE server was up and running and all users migrated off our OCS server to the Lync environment, I spent about a month and a half trying to figure out how to:
    1.  Uninstall the OCS 2007 R2 client
    2.  Install all prerequisites for the Lync client
    3.  Install Lync on all user workstations silently.
    While researching this, the simple answer I kept seeing given to this question was, "just use the .exe with the right switches according to the TechNet article here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg425733.aspx".  Well, my response is, I
    tried that and while the program installed itself correctly pushed through SCCM, because I was doing it using an administrative account (i.e. the SYSTEM account) due to our users not having admin rights, when the install was done, Lync would automatically
    start up, but in the SYSTEM context so that the user couldn't see it was running, they go to run it and it won't run for them.  I was unable to find any switch or option to prevent the automatic launch.  I suppose the simple solution to that would
    be to have the user reboot, but that's unnecessarily disruptive and was contrary to the desire to make this a silent install.
    The next simplest answer I saw was, "extract the MSI and use that with the right switches".  Problem with that is that the MSI by itself doesn't remove the OCS client or install the prerequisites, and also either requires a registry change to even allow
    the MSI to be used or a hacked MSI that bypasses the registry key check.  I tried to put a package together to uninstall OCS, install the prereqs, and use a hacked MSI, but I never could get the MSI hacked properly.  The other problem I ran into
    was detecting if the OCS client was running in a predictable way so I could terminate it, properly uninstall it, and then do the rest of the installations.  It was this problem that ultimately led me to the solution that I'm about to detail and that has
    worked marvellously for us.
    Solution:
    As I said before, when I first looked at this problem, I started by building a typical software deployment package (Computer Management -> Software Distribution -> Packages) and then created the programs to do the install.  My first attempt was
    just with the .exe file provided as-is by Microsoft using the switches they document in the link above for IT-Managed Installation of Lync, and...well, the end result wasn't quite as desirable as hoped.  So, my next attempt was to extract all the prerequisite
    files and the Lync install MSI (both for x86 and x64), attempt to hack it to get around the "UseMSIForLyncInstallation" registry key, and make the command-lines to terminate OCS and uninstall it.
    In the past when I had an install to do with SCCM that also required uninstalling an older version of a given application, I typically used the program-chaining technique.  That's where you have, for example, 3 or more programs that run in a package
    in a sequence and you have Program 3 be set to run after Program 2 does and then set Program 2 to run after Program 1 so you get the desired sequence of Programs 1-2-3 running in that order.  So, I created programs to 1) kill Communicator.exe 2) uninstall
    Communicator 2007 R2 by doing an "msiexec /uninstall {GUID}" 3) install Silverlight 4) install Visual C++ x86 5) optionally install Visual C++ x64, and then 6) install the Lync x86 or x64 client.  That final step was always the point of failure because
    I couldn't get the hacked MSI for the Lync Client install to work.  I also realized that if Communicator wasn't running when the deployment started, that step would fail and cause the whole process to bail out with an error.  That's one of the downsides
    of program-chaining, if one step fails, SCCM completely bails on the deployment.  This is what also led me to the key to my solution:  TASK SEQUENCES.
    I'm not sure how many people out there look in the "Operating System Deployment" area of SCCM 2007 where Task Sequences normally live, but I also wonder how many people realize that Task Sequences can be used for more than just Operating System deployments. 
    One of the biggest advantages of a task sequence is you can set a step to ignore an error condition, such as if you try to terminate a process that isn't running.  Another advantage is that task sequences have some very good built-in conditionals that
    you can apply to steps, for example, having the sequence skip a step if a certain application (or specific version of an application) is not installed on the machine.  Both of those advantages factor highly into my solution.
    OK, for those who already think this is "TL;DR", here's the step-by-step of how to do this:
    First, you need to extract all the files from the LyncSetup.exe for your needed architectures.  We have a mix of Windows XP and Windows 7 64-bit, so my solution here will take both possibilities into account.  To extract the files, just start up
    the .exe like you're going to install it, but then when the first dialog comes up, navigate to "%programfiles%\OCSetup" and copy everything there to a new location.  The main files you need are: Silverlight.exe, vcredist.exe (the x64 LyncSetup.exe includes
    both x86 and x64 Visual C++ runtimes, you need them both, just rename them to differentiate), and Lync.msi (this also comes in an x86 and x64 flavor, so if you have a mix of architectures in your environment, get both and either put them into their own directories
    or rename them to reflect the architecture).
    For my setup, I extracted the files for the x86 and x64 clients and just dumped them each into directories named after the architectures.
    Next, move these files into a directory to your SCCM file server, whatever it might be that you deploy from, in our case, it was just another volume on our central site server.  Go to the SCCM console into Computer Management -> Software Distribution
    -> Packages and then create a new package, call it something meaningful, and then point to the directory on your SCCM file server for the source files.
    Now you need to create 3 to 5 programs inside the package:
    1.  Name: Silverlight
       Command Line: x86\Silverlight.exe /q     (remember, inside my main Lync install folder on my distribution point, I have an x86 directory for the files from the x86 installer and an x64 folder for the files from the x64 installer. 
    The fact is the Silverlight installer is the same in both, so you only need one of them.)
       On the Environment tab:  Program can run whether or not a user is logged in, runs with administrative rights, Runs with UNC name
       On the Advanced tab:  Suppress program notifications
       All other options leave default.
    2.  Name:  Visual C++ x86
        Command Line:  x86\vcredist_x86.exe /q
       On the Requirements tab: Click the radio button next to "This program can run only on specified client platforms:" and then check off the desired x86 clients.
       Environment and Advanced tabs:  same as Silverlight
       (If you have only x64 clients in your environment, change all x86 references to x64.  If you have a mixed environment, create another program identical to this one, replacing references to x86 with x64.)
    3.  Name:  Lync x86
        Command Line:  msiexec /qn /i x86\Lync.msi OCSETUPDIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync"  (The OCSETUPDIR fixes the issue with the Lync client wanting to "reinstall" itself every time it starts up)
        Requirements, Environment, and Advanced tabs:  Same as with Visual C++ and Silverlight
        (Same deal as above if you have all x64 clients or a mix, either change this program to reflect or make a second program if necessary)
    Now you need to make the Task Sequence.  Go to Computer Management -> Operating System Deployment -> Task Sequences.  Under the Actions pane, click New -> Task Sequence.  In the Create a New Task Sequence dialog, choose "create a
    new custom task sequence", Next, enter a meaningful name for the task sequence like "Install Microsoft Lync", Next, Next, Close.
    The task sequence will have up to 12 steps in it.  I'll break the steps down into 3 phases, the prereqs phase, uninstall OCS phase, and then Lync install phase.
    Prereqs Phase:
    These are the easiest of the steps to do.  Highlight the task sequence and then in the Actions pane, click Edit.
    1.  Click Add -> General -> Install Software.  Name: "Install Microsoft Silverlight".  Select "Install a single application", browse to the Lync package created earlier and then select the Silverlight program.
    2.  Add -> General -> Install Software.  Name: "Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 x86".  Install Single Application, browse to the Lync package, select the Visual C++ x86 package.
    As before, if you're an all-x64 environment, replace the x86 references with x64.  If you have a mixed environment, repeat step 2, replacing x86 with x64.
    3.  Add -> General -> Run Command Line.  Name: "Enable Lync Installation".  This step gets around the UseMSIForLyncInstallation registry requirement.  The Lync client MSI simply looks for the presence of this key when it runs, so
    we'll inject it into the registry now and it doesn't require a reboot or anything.  It just has to be there before the client MSI starts.
    Command Line: reg add "hklm\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator" /v UseMSIForLyncInstallation /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    Uninstall OCS Phase:
    This part consists of up to 6 Run Command Line steps.  (Add -> General -> Run Command Line)
    4.  Name: "Terminate Communicator".  Command Line: "taskkill /f /im communicator.exe".  On the Options page, check the box next to "Continue on error".  This will terminate the Communicator process if it's running, and if it's not, it'll
    ignore the error.
    5.  Name: "Terminate Outlook".  Command Line: "taskkill /f /im OUTLOOK.exe".  Check the "Continue on error" on the Options page here too.  Communicator 2007 hooks into Outlook, so if you don't kill Outlook, it might prompt for a reboot
    because components are in use.
    (NOTE:  If necessary, you could also add another step that terminates Internet Explorer because Communicator does hook into IE and without killing IE, it might require a restart after uninstalling Communicator in the next steps.  I didn't run into
    this in my environment, though.  Just repeat step 5, but replace OUTLOOK.EXE with IEXPLORE.EXE)
    6.  Name: "Uninstall Microsoft Office Communicator 2007".  Command Line: "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {E5BA0430-919F-46DD-B656-0796F8A5ADFF} /norestart" On the Options page:  Add Condition ->  Installed Software -> Browse to the
    Office Communicator 2007 non-R2 MSI -> select "Match this specific product (Product Code and Upgrade Code)".
    7.  Name:  "Uninstall Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2".  Command Line:  "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {0D1CBBB9-F4A8-45B6-95E7-202BA61D7AF4} /norestart".  On the Options page:  Add Condition -> Installed Software ->
    Browse to the Office Communicator 2007 R2 MSI -> select "Match any version of this product (Upgrade Code Only)".
    SIDEBAR
    OK, I need to stop here and explain steps 6 and 7 in more detail because it was a gotcha that bit me after I'd already started deploying Lync with this task sequence.  I found out after I'd been deploying for a while that a tech in one of our remote
    offices was reinstalling machines and putting the Communicator 2007 non-R2 client on instead of the R2 client, and my task sequence was expecting R2, mostly because I thought we didn't have any non-R2 clients out there.  So, at first I just had our Help
    Desk people do those installs manually, but later on decided to add support for this possibility into my task sequence.  Now, when you normally uninstall something with msiexec, you would use the Product Code GUID in the command, as you see in steps 6
    and 7.  All applications have a Product Code that's unique to a specific version of an application, but applications also have an Upgrade Code GUID that is unique for an application but common across versions.  This is part of how Windows knows that
    Application X version 1.2 is an upgrade to Application X version 1.1, i.e. Application X would have a common Upgrade Code, but the Product Code would differ between versions 1.1 and 1.2.
    The complication comes in that Communicator 2007 and Communicator 2007 R2 have a common Upgrade Code, but different Product Codes and the "MSIEXEC /uninstall" command uses the Product Code, not the Upgrade Code.  This means that if I didn't have step
    6 to catch the non-R2 clients, step 7 would be fine for the R2 clients, but fail on non-R2 clients because the Product Code in the MSIEXEC command would be wrong.  Luckily, we only had one version of the non-R2 client to deal with versus 4 or 5 versions
    of the R2 client.  So, I put the command to remove Communicator 2007 non-R2 first and checked for that specific product and version on the machine.  If it was present, it uninstalled it and then skipped over the R2 step.  If non-R2 was not present,
    it skipped that step and instead uninstalled any version of the R2 client.  It's important that steps 6 and 7 are in the order they are because if you swap them, then you'd have the same outcome as if step 6 wasn't there.  What if neither is on the
    machine?  Well the collection this was targeted to included only machines with any version of Communicator 2007 installed, so this was not a problem.  It was assumed that the machines had some version of Communicator on them.
    8.  Name:  "Uninstall Conferencing Add-In for Outlook".  Command Line:  "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {730000A1-6206-4597-966F-953827FC40F7} /norestart".  Check the "Continue on error" on the Options Page and then Add Condition ->
    Installed Software -> Browse to the MSI for this optional component and set it to match any version of the product.  If you don't use this in your environment, you can omit this step.
    9.  Name:  "Uninstall Live Meeting 2007".  Command Line:  "msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall {69CEBEF8-52AA-4436-A3C9-684AF57B0307} /norestart".  Check the "Continue on error" on the Options Page and then Add Condition -> Installed Software
    -> Browse to the MSI for this optional component and set it to match any version of the product.  If you don't use this in your environment, you can omit this step.
    Install Lync phase:
    Now, finally the main event, and it's pretty simple:
    10.  Click Add -> General -> Install Software.  Name: "Install Microsoft Lync 2010 x86".  Select "Install a single application", browse to the Lync package created earlier and then select the "Lync x86" program.  As before, if you
    only have x64 in your environment, replace the x86 with x64, or if you have a mixed environment, copy this step, replacing x86 references with x64.
    And the task sequence is done!  The final thing you need to do now is highlight the task, click Advertise in the Actions pane, and deploy it to a collection like you would with any other software distribution advertisement.  Go get a beer!
    Some final notes to keep in mind:
    1.  You can't make a task sequence totally silent...easily.  Users will get balloon notifications that an application is available to install.  The notifications cannot be suppressed through the GUI.  I've found scripts that supposedly
    hack the advertisement to make it be silent, but neither of them worked for me.  It was OK, though because in the end we wanted users, especially laptop users, to be able to pick a convenient time to do the upgrade.  The task sequence will appear
    in the "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" Control Panel.  You can still do mandatory assignments to force the install to happen, you just can't make it totally silent.  On the plus side, the user shouldn't have to reboot at any point
    during or after the install!
    2.  In the advertisement setup, you can optionally show the task sequence progress.  I've configured the individual installs in this process to be silent, however, I did show the user the task sequence progress.  This means instead of seeing
    5 or 6 Installer windows pop up and go away, the user will have a single progress bar with the name of the step that is executing.
    3.  One step that I didn't consider when I actually did this was starting the Lync client as the user when the install was complete.  The user either had to start the client manually or just let it start on its own at the next logon.  However,
    while I was writing this, I realized that I could possibly start the client after installing by making another Program in the Lync Package with a command line that was along the lines of "%programfiles%\Microsoft Lync\communicator.exe" and then in the Environment
    tab, set it to "Run with user's rights" "only when a user is logged on".
    4.  My first revision of this task sequence has the Prereqs phase happening after the OCS uninstall phase, but I kept running into problems where the Silverlight installer would throw some bizarre error that it couldn't open a window or something wacky
    and it would fail.  Problem was, I couldn't re-run the task sequence because now it would fail because OCS had been uninstalled, so that's why the Prereqs happen first.  It ran much more reliably this way.
    5.  For some reason that baffles me, when I'd check the logs on the Site Server to monitor the deployment, I'd frequently see situations where the task sequence would start on a given machine, complete successfully, almost immediately start again, and
    then fail.  I'm not sure what is causing that, but I suspect either users are going to Add/Remove Programs and double-clicking the Add button to start the install instead of just single-clicking it, or the notification that they have software to install
    doesn't go away immediately or Lync doesn't start up right after the install, so they think the first time it didn't take and try it a second time.
    I hope this helps some of you SCCM and Lync admins out there!

    On Step 8 I found multiple product codes for the Conferencing Add-In for Outlook.  Here's a list of the ones I found in the machines on my network:
    {987CAEDE-EB67-4D5A-B0C0-AE0640A17B5F}
    {2BB9B2F5-79E7-4220-B903-22E849100547}
    {13BEAC7C-69C1-4A9E-89A3-D5F311DE2B69}
    {C5586971-E3A9-432A-93B7-D1D0EF076764}
    I'm sure there's others one, just be mindful that this add-in will have numerous product codes.

  • Am i on the right track for establishing my client connection with BC4J?

    I am developing web-application with BC4J JSP project now. However, I find the auto-generated page not that useful as they are not flexible enough. Then, I decided to write coding by myself. But the first problem is - how to write the coding for client connection? To make maintenance easy, I would like to place those connection code in a class file instead of hard-coding each connection details in my JSP or Servlet page.
    Question 1: Through the examples I search in my JDeveloper (Candidate 2) directory, found a file TestClient.java in the \BC4J\samples\Caching\src\demo directory with the following codes:
    // Create an instance of the application module by name, using local mode
    String _am  = "demo.DemoModule"; // Fully-qualified application module name
    String _cf  = "DemoModuleLocal"; // Configuration name for connection info
    ApplicationModule am = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(_am,_cf);
    // Find the Managers view object by name in the application module
    ViewObject mgrVO = am.findViewObject("Managers");
    // We're done with the AM instance, so release it
    Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(am,true);
    Is it for testing only or really useful for the production environment? Am I doing the right thing if i use such method to establish my web client connection? What's the pros and cons for using this method? Any other better alternatives?
    Question 2: As I know BC4J automatically takes care of connection pooling as a default manner since version 3.2. Can I still use the following statement
    session.setAttribute("user_name", user_name); //Set session attribute
    String user_name = (String) session.getAttribute(user_name); // Get session attribute
    to capture and assign client session correctly for individual clients?
    Question 3: What codes should I use to achieve 'Transaction' update, which assembles the coding as follows:
    Connection.setAutoCommit(false); //disable auto commit
    connection.commit();
    connection.rollback();
    connection.close();
    Thanks for answering!!!

What's the pros and cons for using this method? Any other better alternatives?The Configuration API (createRootApplicationModule, releaseRootApplicationModule) will work. However, please note
    that it is intended for java clients that will hold an ApplicationModule reference for a long duration. The BC4J web
    frameworks (represented, for example, by the ApplicationModule and ReleasePageResources tags) all use the
    SessionCookie interface to acquire/release ApplicationModule instances on a per request basis. This will allow
    better scalability. Please see the pooling sample / documentation / javadoc for more information about using these
    APIs. The pooling sample servlet is located in \BC4J\samples\Pooling\src\demo\TestPoolServlet.
    Question 2: As I know BC4J automatically takes care of connection pooling as a default manner since version 3.2. Can I still use the following statement
    session.setAttribute("user_name", user_name); //Set session attribute
    String user_name = (String) session.getAttribute(user_name); // Get session attribute
    to capture and assign client session correctly for individual clients?BC4J will not interfere with your use of the HttpSession context. How do you intend the "user_name" to be used? Do
    you intend it to represent the DB user, JAAS user, etc. If you intend it to be used as the DB user you will need to declare
    the "user_name" to BC4J. Please see:
    http://technet.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/bc4j/howto_dynamic_jdbc.html
    Question 3: What codes should I use to achieve 'Transaction' update, which assembles the coding as follows:
    Connection.setAutoCommit(false); //disable auto commit
    connection.commit();
    connection.rollback();
    connection.close();ApplicationModule.getTransaction().commit();
    ApplicationModule.getTransaction().rollback();
    If you are using the Configuration or SessionCookie APIs, as mentioned above, then the connection lifecycle will be
    managed for you. So, you should not need to invoke connection.close().
    Thanks for answering!!!
    Hope this helps.

  • Lync 2010 client issues with Exchange 2007/13 coexisting

    Hi all,

    Hi
    I have Lync 2010 clients with Exchange 2013 Server, i came from 2007 as well.

  • E8350 - bad upstream performance when LAN clients connect with 1000mb/s

    Our office LAN is all 100/1000mbs capable. Our internet provider is 100 mb/s symmetric internet. We believe we've found an issue with upstream buffering in the E8350. 
    A) A laptop connecting at 100mb/s directly to the E8350 is able to upload at 80 megabits/s
    B) The same laptop, connecting via 1000bt directly to the E8350 only gets 10 megabits/s or so
    C) Other laptops connected through our LAN at 1000bt also suffer poor performance
    D) Putting an older switch which is only capable of 100mb/s between our 1000bt LAN and the E8350 throttles correctly, and we can obtain higher upload speeds for the entire network.
    We suspect that in situations A & C,  the E8350 is not throttling/buffering traffic arriving on the 1000bt connection correctly, causing the poor upload speeds.
    Firmware version is 1.0.0

    1000bt? what is that? Do you mean 1000Mb? or 1Gb? 
    Preferred connections with this router is the use of 1000Mb or 1Gb adapters and switches and CAT6 LAN cabling for wired LAN conections. 100Mb could slow down some performance and you'll not be able to use the 1Gb connection pipe. 
    Is these connections on the wired LAN cables? 
    Ensure all devices with wired LAN connectons support 1000Mb or 1Gb speeds. 
    Ensure all devices with LAN adapter cards are updated for dirvers.

    Router Placement
    Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
    3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
    Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

  • Lync 2010 client connecting to 2013 persistent chat server

    Since we never had Group Chat in our 2010 environment, I have no idea how it works and now that we have 2013 Persistent Chat, I am struggling with getting the Lync 2010 connected. The 2013 client works just fine as it is integrated into the client. I found
    out Lync 2010 needs a separate Chat client to run along side the IM client.
    I installed this client but from there I have no idea how to connect it to the 2013 Chat server. I created the endpoint on the Lync 2013 server according to the article
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204901.aspx but something else needs to be done. I just don't know what. Not even sure where to start looking. Many of our Lync clients have
    to use 2010 because the OS is XP so I need to find out how to get these users to work with Persistent Chat.
    I am not sure what the point is of creating the End point according to the article. I am sure its necessary but not sure how it fits into the clients using it to connect. What does the article mean when it says "Next, configure Persistent Chat clients
    to use that SIP address as their contact object". Do you need Group Chat functioning in 2010 for this to even work?
    The problem is we never had Group Chat with 2010 so I am sure there are some settings missing like DNS records etc...

    If you have users running legacy clients (such as Microsoft Lync 2010 these users might find the default Persistent Chat URIs difficult to work with and difficult to use when pointing their legacy client towards the pool. Because of this,
    administrators need to use the New-CsPersistentChatEndpoint cmdlet to create an additional contact object for the pool, a contact object that provides a friendlier, easier-to-use URI.

  • Outlook 2010 clients connected to Exchange but not updating

    Hi, I am running a single Exchange 2013 server at CU6, with clients running Outlook 2010 with SP2.
    Clients are connected to Exchange without a problem, but Outlook is not updating, even though clients are set to do a full send/receive every 2 minutes. Users are getting new email on their phones but it doesnt arrive in Outlook even after a full 2 minutes. 
    By disabling Cached mode, Outlook then updates correctly. Checking the Connection Status, I find only 1 connection to Exchange. Ran the Auto-configuration test, and it's clean.  Ran tests at https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/ and all was fine. I
    would appreciate any assistance.
    THANK YOU,
    Mike
    Regards, Mike

    Hello,
    From your description it sounds like there may be some corruption in the OST file (or maybe for some reason something else has the OST file locked).  Some things to try:
    Shutdown Outlook and make sure there are no Outlook.exe's running in task maanger.  Once that's done try to rename the user's OST file.  If you get an error saying the file is locked that's your issue.  You should be able to figure out what
    process has a lock on the OST file wiht either something like handles.exe or my personal favorite procmon.
    If you can rename the OST file without issue then that would point me to an issue with the OST file.  At that point I would try to create a new Outlook Profile in cached mode and recreate the OST file. 
    It also might be worth while installing the latest updates for Outlook 2010 if you haven't done so already (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn803988(v=office.14).aspx)

    Thanks Ram

    I think what you are asking about is XML Digital Signatures (XML-DSig). This lets you sign Web services messages with a digital signature that can then be, potentially verified, against other authentication/authoritization mechanisms like LDAP.
    The specification relating XML-DSig to Web services is managed by OASIS called Web Services Security. Oracle
    sits on this standards group and has plans to implement it as it becomes a standard. For current specifications on this check out:
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss/documents/WSS-Core-04-1117.pdf
    For Oracle's plans in this area, check out this presentation at:
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/oow/oow_user.show_public?p_event=13&p_type=session&p_session_id=38930
    See the last few slides for a roadmap after you read through the use cases.
    I realize you would prefer code samples and unfortunately I don't have any ... but hopefully this points you in the right direction ... The bottom line, if I understand your question, is that the specs are just emerging for this and if you want to do it now, it really is a roll-your-own solution that you can then retrofit in the standards as they emerge.

    what is problem in my configuration?

    Hi haresh,
    First, the network is overlapped on your computer.
    Second, AD DS is not recommended to be installed on a multihomed computer.
    Both of these will cause conmunication issues.
    You may need to re-plan your network.
    Best Regards.

    Hello,
    Try the following:
    1. execute the following cmd:
    c:\jdev_home\bin\setjboenv "c:\jdev_home" 8i
    2. add the EJBClient jar to the classpath
    3. Run your client
    Also, if you use the command line a lot then I recommend that you install JDeveloper in a custom directory (say c:\JDev) which is easier to navigate to from the command prompt

  • Exchange 2013, Outlook 2007 clients Problems with Outlook Anywhere connection

    Hi everyone,
    I have a mail system Exchange 2013 SP1, on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    I have only one mail server with the Client Access and Mailbox roles Server. 
    I have a Wildcard certificate type *. Mydomain.com. 
    All connections to the Outlook Anywhere Outlook 2010, Outook 2013 work correctly. 
    The ActiveSync connections are working properly, too. 
    But Outlook 2007 clients connecting with Outlook Anywhere asking for credentials continuously fail continuously. 
    How can I solve this? 
    thank you very much
    Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, we need to set Outlook provider with the domain name if it's wildcard certificate:
    Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:*.domain.com
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc535023(EXCHG.80).aspx
    Thus, I recommend you try the above configuration and test the Outlook connection again.
    Thanks,

  • I cannot establish VPN connection with rv120w to shrew soft client

    1. I bought 2 rv120w router and install one direct to WAN and one behind router-hub.
    2. one behind router is set DMZ, and each are conneted Site to Site vpn
    3. I need to connect each site with my mobile devices(1 notebook, 2 Win8 tablets, 2 android devices )
    4. i use wibro mobile router, win8 devices're behind router, and their fort is fowarded(DMZ)
    5. I'll take care of Android devices later, here now, my trouble is Win8 devices
    6. i installed cisco QuickVPN software. frankly,that software is shit. i don't know why but it even cannot reach router, no log generated on rv120w. and i dont want PPTP connection. sorry for criticism but I'm sure many of QuickVPN users(and people who fail to be a user) agree with me. it's 2014. not 1998.
     Cisco should be shamed for that software. it looks like a second grade collage student's 2nd semester project(Many of them're batter nowadays.) and doesn't work.
    more amazing fact is that's only software that RV series provides officialy. What the...so in conclusion, Cisco does not provide any IPSec client connection tool at all. does that makes any sense?
    7. i tried 10 or more hours to make IPSec client connection with many vpn client soft ware, this is my closest shot.

    Hi kastwf001,
    My name is Mehdi from Cisco Technical Support, just want to inform you regarding QuickVPN is an light software using IPsec service of windows, so here it depend of windows and firewall ... IPsec setting on windows, encryption ... 
    anyhow for RV120W it's open for 3rd party software as ShrewVPN , TheGreenBow ... and working as expected since those software are using their ip sec services ..
    Please follow configuration steps on RV120W and ShrewVPN (screenshots taken from you post) :
    Please let me know if you have any question
    Please rate the post or mark as answered to help other Cisco Customers

  • What determines the client connection memory size?

    We are trying to scale up the number of connections on our db - (dedicated not shared) .. but quickly consume the box.
    Its 11gr1 - Linux .. 500G of memory ..
    The "only" parameter we have set is:
    *.memory_target=216522555392  (~200G)
    Processes set to 6000 - but are are only around 1800 at this point.
    We are seeing (via top) client connections with a reserved memory of 25-30g (usually the dbwr type processes) and client connections showing 5-10G in size.
    With clients taking this much memory,  we start to see swapping on the box. In our dev/qa environment the clients are in the MB range .. of course they are not seeing real world traffic so I presume that memory requirements are growing as the app runs.
    Can we set something to reduce the footprint of the client connections?
    Thanks for any tips..
    If we get one db bounce this year .. we want to be right .. cant guess here..

    >Can we set something to reduce the footprint of the client connections?
    no
    Since *NIX maps SGA into every client's process, displayed RAM size is distorted.
    If you simply SUM every reported client size, it will greatly exceed total RAM (in most cases)
    The fact that any swap is used is in itself not a negative indicator.

  • Internal outlook client connectivity in exchange 2010 when coexist with exchange 2013

    Hi all ,
    on my side i would like to clarify few queries.
    Say for instance i am coexisting exchange 2010 with exchange 2013 .Unfortunately if all of my exchange 2013 servers goes down .
    Q1 .On that time will the internal outlook users having their mailboxes on exchange 2010 can be able to connect mailboxes without any issues ? In case if they face any issues what kind of issues will they be? Because why i am asking is we should have pointed
    the autodiscover service to exchange 2013 during coexistence.
    When an user closes and reopens the outlook after whole exchange 2013 environment failure ,outlook will first query the autodiscover service for the profile changes to get it updated on users outlook profile.In such case autodiscover service will not be
    reachable and i wanted to know will that affects the internal client connectivity for outlook users having their mailboxes on exchange 2010.
    Q2. Apart from outlook internal users connectivity ,what kind of exchange services(i.e owa,active sync,pop,external OA and imap) will get affected when whole exchange 2013 environment goes down during coexistence ?
    I have read the below mentioned statement on this awesome blog but still i wanted to clarify with you all on my scenario.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx<o:p></o:p>
    Internal Outlook Connectivity
    For internal Outlook clients using RPC/TCP connectivity whose mailboxes exist on Exchange 2010, they will still connect to the Exchange 2010 RPC Client Access array endpoint.
    For internal Outlook clients using RPC/TCP connectivity whose mailboxes exist on Exchange 2007, they will still connect directly to the Exchange 2007 Mailbox server instance hosting the mailbox.
    Please share me your suggestions and that would help me a lot .
    Regards

    Hi Winnie Liang ,
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    Scenario  1 : for internal outlook connectivity 
    We have below settings for exchange 2010 autodiscover.
    mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for internal autodiscover URI for all the exchange 2010 cas serves
    We are going to have below settings for exchange 2013 autodiscover.
    mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for internal autodiscover URI for all the exchange 2013 cas serves
    During coexistence mail.domain.com will be pointed to exchange 2013 cas servers . I mean to say if we try to resolve the mail.domain.com it will get resolved in to the exchange 2013 cas servers.
    So on such case if anything happened wrong to the new environment or else if entire environment goes down .Do we face any issues while outlook users connect to existing mailboxes in exchange 2010 ?
    Because why i am asking is ,on the below mentioned article i have read all the autodiscover request will go via exchange 2013 cas servers during coexistence.That means all the existing mailboxes in exchange 2010 will also have to query exchange 2013 cas
    servers for autodiscover request.During the whole exchange 2013 environemnt failure whenever the user tries to close and open outlook .Outlook will first queries the autodiscover service for any changes happened on that particular mailbox and it will try to
    get it updated on user profile.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
    Would it be possible to make the exchange 2010 mailbox users to query only the scp points which belongs to the exchange 2010 cas servers for autodiscover request ?
    Scenario 2: For exchange services
    mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for all the exchange 2010 services (i.e owa,activesync,external outlook anywhere,pop,imap)
    mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for all the exchange 2013 services (i.e owa,activesync,external outlook anywhere,pop,imap)
    What about the above services will it get affected during whole exchange 2013 environment failure ?
    Note : We are not facing this issue , i hope everything goes well in my environment while doing coexistence i am just asking this question on my own interest?
    Regards
