Configurations for MBA on desktop

Hi - I just bought 13" MBA and plan to use it on my desk top with external monitor and HD for back up.  My problem is that I want to connect to internet on 1gigabit ethernet cable.  It seems I have three options:
1) Use TB port to HDMI for display and one USB 3.0 port with adpater to ethernet and one usb 3.0 for HD; or
2) buy belkin TB express dock (or CalDigit) for $239 and hook everything up thru dock; or
3) buy TB display and hook internet up to TB display and HD through MBA 3.0 USB.
In trying to decide, it seems that option 1 could be the cheapest if the USB 3.0 adpaters work well.  I'd probably buy a 24" LED screen. Will this option squeeze my internet speeds? Can I work in clamshell mode this way?
Option 2 - If I choose option 2, can I use the MBA in clamshell mode?  
Option 3 - If I choose this option I would get a nicer display for close to the price I'd spend getting the dock and another display.  But can I use the TB display to hook my ethernet cable to internet?  and if I use one of the USB 3.0 ports on the MBA for an external HD, will it still work in clamshell?
Thanks for all input/suggestions/answers!!!

Hi,
>>1. Will WSUS work if you change any configurations on the SBS server? (ex. Product & GP)
Please make sure that the settings of the WSUS are applied to the client properly through Group Policy.
>>2. Can you configure WSUS the way you want and just use the WSUS console instead of the SBS console update?
Yes, for detailed information, please refer to the link below:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh334984%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
>>3. What would the best approach on re-downloading updates after the WSUS content folder has been deleted without the reset command?
wsusutil reset

  • How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?

    I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
    I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
    Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
    Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?

    Hi,
    You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
    If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times.  If you want I will look for it and post a link.
    -TP
    I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work.  And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.
    When I type in my URL of: https://connect.mydomain.org/RDWeb, I get redirected to:

  • Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

    Hi
    I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
    This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
    "The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
    hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
    Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
    Thank-you
    Richard Steele

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

  • Can CTI OS agent desktop 9 be configured for different desktop modes?

    Can CTIOS agent desktop be configured for different modes e.g. Normal, open, on top, stealth or agent selectable?

    Yes, but you'll have to customize it and recompile it. The source code is in the installer.

  • The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has expired

    <p>I'm running Windows Server 2012, we only have 1 server and it's a DC.  I'm trying to RD to the server from my Windows 7 laptop. It was working fine on Friday but when I came in on Monday I got message saying that 'The remote session was disconnnected
    because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license'
    So after a bit of digging I found out my 'grace period' had expired, so ordered a new license which I got today, installed this all ok but still i cannot connect via RD I get the same message....went into the RD License Diagnoser and it said the problem
    was as follows
    'The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has expired, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license servers. Connections to the RD Session Host server will be denied unless a license server is configured for
    the RD Session Host server.'
    Suggested Resolution as follows
    Configure a license server for the Remote Desktop Session Host server. If you have an existing license server, specify that license server for the RD Session Host Server. Otherwise, install RD Licensing on a computer on your network and Configure RD Session
    Host Server to use it.'
    I cannot figure out how to do this as I cannot find the RD Session Host Server tool. 
    Can any of you lovely people help me please

    Hello,
    Best option would be to assign the license server by using AD GPO. Youl will need to configure the following:
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
    and define the settings for:
    Use the specified Remote Desktop License Server
    Set the Remote Desktop Licensing mode
    Then assign the policy tho your server.

  • Is it possible to run TWO parellel configurations for one Object??

    SAP Gurus,
    We have a strange requirement from the client to have to configurations established in the system for one configuration object.
    Without taking much of your time let me paraphrase the requirements.
    The client is having two different types of putaway strategies in their current business process. And they toggle between these putaway strategies by reaching out to their production support group and they make configuration changes to have the other put away strategy
    One Step Putaway: GR area --> High Rack Storage
    Two Step Putaway: GR area --> Interim storage (area at the end of each aisle of high rack storage) --> High Rack
    Client wants to have two parallel configurations for both of these put away strategies and needs an ability to switch from one to another. This switching ability should be accessed from SAP screen without any IT intervention (no configuration)
    -  Switching ability should allow the warehouse manager to change from one step to two step put away strategies without any IT intervention.
    -  Switching ability should be accessed my SAP Screen (Z-transaction or something with a radio button to toggle around)
    Is it possible to have two configuration made for Putaway Strategies and switch them on/off depending on the warehouse needs??
    Your invaluable feedback on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks again folks,
    Dhaval
    Edited by: Dhaval Joshi on Mar 4, 2008 12:09 PM

    Q1--I don't believe it is possible. An organization can have multiple licenses tied to its main email address, for example, but then they are assigned to the individual users.
    Q2--Yes, you would just need to log out of your account within the CC desktop app prior to logging in on the other account.
    If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

  • Wireless configuration for HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer on Ubuntu 10.04

    I have bought a HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer CN557A, which I want to use with ubuntu 10.04 64-bit as a wireless network printer.
    Before i bought i checked compatibility on www.hplipopensource.org and www.openprinting.org, and all was in order.
    The machine is autodetected and fully functional when connected with a usb cable, but i have not managed to get it to work as a wireless printer.
    This is what I did:
    I configured the printer on the wireless network (through the printer interface), and it connects. It prints out a "Wireless Network Test Report", and everything works. I can ping to its local ip adress, and access it through the browser. HP eprint also works.
    I installed hplip 3.11.10 and dependencies manually. I did this because the default hplip in ubuntu 10.04 did not recognise the device.
    I ran 'hp-check', which gave no errors or warnings:

    I then ran 'sudo hp-setup', chose the device (which was detected), chose my wireless network, entered the wireless security key. On the configuration results dialog I get two messages:
    "Your printer has been succesfully configured on the wireless network. You may now unplug the USB cable"
    and
    "The Ethernet cable is plugged in which will prevent you from connecting to a wireless network. To connect wirelessly, remove the cable and try again. (VSA000)"
    There is no ethernet cable plugged in, so i can't remove it. I unplug the USB cable and click 'finish'. This makes the 'hp-setup'-dialog start over again, and the printer has not been installed.
    In the terminal i have the following:

    A friendly soul on ubuntuforums pointed out to me, that the wireless configuration is only necessary when the printer is NOT connected to a (W)LAN. So all I really had to do was to configure the printer in the CUPS administation page, and it worked. Problem solved. Silly me.

  • How to use different configurations for KDE Plasma?

    I typically use my laptop in two ways: single monitor and dual monitor. I like to have in the two cases two different sets of widgets and plasmoids, so I wonder if it's possible to have multiple configurations for Plasma and load the desired one when needed. I searched around for a solutio but didn't find anything.
    Right now, I'm using a rather awkward method: I have two sets of Plasma configuration files for single and dual monitor setup (ie., plasma-desktop-appletsrc-single and plasma-desktop-appletsrc-dual) and two startx scripts which, before starting KDE, copy the single or dual monitor configuration on the standard Plasma config file (cp $HOME/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc-dual $HOME/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc). I'm sure there are better ways to have a dynamical Plasma configuration, since my zero-order solution has many drawbacks, for example I loose the modifications I make on my desktop (since Plasma saves them on plasma-desktop-appletsrc which is overwritten at next startup).
    Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

    For such a purpose KDE Plasma provides Activities. Here you can find more about that:
    http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma#Activities
    There is also a nice plasmoid for easy Activity managing:

  • How to specify Host Server for Replicated Virtual Desktops within RDVH Collection

    My question about how to specify Host Server for Replicated Virtual Desktops within Collection.
    I know there is a aswered thread on this, but that solution (wait a week) didn't work for me.
    So i have 2 servers, RDS01 and RDS02 with both 15 Hyper-V VM's and replicating to eachother. That part works fine.
    Now I wanted to make it easy for my users I build a Connection Broker: RDCB
    All went fine in that setup, but when I want to add the existing VM's from RDS01 and RDS02 to the collection it just radomly adds running ones and replicated ones.
    So both RDS01 and RDS02 have 15 VM's running and 15 replica's in stopped state, but when I look in my collection, it says RDS01 has 23 and RDS02 has 7 VM's. When I add them all, I see he wants to add a lot of stopped states replica's from RDS01 instead of
    the running ones from RDS02.
    How can I specify which one he should use? Or need I disable replication first, setup the whole RDCB collection thing, and then turn replication back on? Or does Hyper-V replication not work at all when used in a collection?
    I hope someone can help out here. I'm googling and trying for 1,5 week now, but i can;t get it right.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Robin,
    Thanks for your patience.
    After you removed Replication from 1 machine on both RDS01 and RDS02, please restart that machine. After that, please add this machine to the RD collection again to test how the issue goes.
    As we know, Hyper-V Replica provides asynchronous replication of Hyper-V virtual machines between two hosting servers. It is simple to configure and does not require either shared storage or any particular storage hardware. Any server workload that can be
    virtualized in Hyper-V can be replicated. Replication works over any ordinary IP-based network, and the replicated data can be encrypted during transmission. Hyper-V Replica works with standalone servers, failover clusters, or a mixture of both. The servers
    can be physically co-located or widely separated geographically. The physical servers do not need to be in the same domain, or even joined to any domain at all.
    Currently, would you please add only running state VMs to the RD CB collection? And would you please capture some screenshots of the error message? Thanks very much for your cooperation.

    The error that you are getting that shows in the log file by the "pings being blocked" it refers to the connection being block by the firewall or security on your computer.
    Things that you should look for is: What type of internet security software you are using will a lot of the time block QVPN from working.
    With Windows 7 it has a lot of added security so the windows 7 Firewall has to be on because soon as the firewall is turn off or another firewall is loaded that turns off Win7 firewall, the Win7 OS turns off IPSEC and that is needed for quick VPN to work. Hope this has been helpful and gave you some more understanding.

  • SAP eRecruitment - req.new Application wizard excl.for MBA candidates

    Hi,
    In our requirement client want to have a seperate link provided in their career pages for MBA Candidates (freshers), whereas it should be linked to SAP eRecruitment system. Based on their requirement created :
    1.Defined Elements
    2.Created seperate Container sequence and assigned elements to that container sequence
    3.Defined a seperate Start Page for MBA candidate and in Application class defined it as external Application and assigned it to groups (In the start page groups created start page groups and assigned to Links)
    4.In the role hrcf_cand_ext assigned that start page
    5.Generated URLS and the URL got generated and when I went into that URL it displayed the reg.page and after reg..in the Personal page when tried to apply for the MBA jobs ( Job posting was done exclusively for MBA) and when it was clicked it took to the standard Application wizard instead of custom wizard defined exclusively for MBA.
    Should I clone the standard BSP page and make the changes for MBA candidates ? or should I create a seperate template for the MBA?
    Kindly share your thoughts of the configuration missed.
    Regards,
    Selva

    Hi Selva,
    Please check if you have provided the correct context value while generating the URLs. While configuring the container sequence the context value that you have provided must be used while generating the URLs. Check that out and let me know.
    Hi Ravi,
    Yes , I have created the correct context while generating the URL and even it goes to Log in page:
    http://sapgea.we.xxxxxxx.net:8055/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_ext?sap-client=500&sap-language=EN&rcfSpId=9003&rcfContext=MBACAN
    ( I created a URL for MBA candidates)
    But after registering and getting into the system when I apply for those MBA Postings it is not displaying the Application wizard defined for MBA candidate,instead it is showing the standard one defined.
    1.Should I create a seperate Process Template for MBA candidate in the Portal ( with the id which has admin.rights to create a Process Template with the Questionnaire).
    2. Where to provide that Application wizard link to those MBA positions?
    Regards,
    Selva

  • Optimum Disk Configuration for CS6

    Hi Hardware forum members,
    I have read the Generic Disk Guidelines, read the various forum threads on this topic, watched the Adobe Video2Brain videos and am still confused re optimum disk configuration for CS6 Premier Pro.
    ( lots of disagreemnet on HDD RAID0 versus SSD )
    The video and advice from Adobe is to have a separate disk for each disk for each type of file so that you are not reading and writing from the same disk.
    I rang Adobe technical support and they advised me that if I had 4 individual separate SSD's they would allocate one to the O/S and Programs, one to the Media and Media Cache which they said had to be on the same disk, one to the Project and finally one to the Export and Preview.
    I then asked them if I purchased another SSD so that I had one for the O/S and Programs and then 2 x 2 in a RAID0 configuration, how would they allocate the the drives. They said they would allocate one RAID0 volume to the Media and Media Cache and to the second RAID0 volume they would allocate the Project, Export and Preview. Doesn't this contradict the advice to keep the files separate, as your Project files would be on the same disk as your Export and Preview ?
    In any case, they said the 2 X 2 RAID0 configuration would give the better performance.
    What do the forum members here think will be the better disk configuration from the two options above ?
    What about TRIM support for SSD'S in a RAID0 configuration - is that still an issue, before I commit to the 2 X 2 SSD in RAID0 configuration.
    FYI - Backup will be to 4 x 3tb Seagates in a RAID5 config and the SSD'S under consideration are the Samsung 840 Pro's.
    Your thoughts and recommendations will be most welcome.
    Kind Regards
    Martin.

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my post - it is much appreciated.
    I have ruled out the 2 x 2 ssd in raid 0 as an option due to the lack of TRIM support for this configuration as the performance would just deteriorate over time.
    Your advice makes sense as everybody's individual needs and preferences are different.
    I'm still going to go with a combination of individual SSD drives ( no raid and just depends how many individual SSD's I decide to allocate) with the RAID5 array of 4 x 3tb disks for backup (around 9tb usable space ). The machine wont just be used exclusively for video editing and hence this is swaying my decision towards the SSD's.
    I could be persuaded to change the RAID5 backup to a RAID10 with the same disks but this would give me more speed and safer redundancy, albeit with only 6TB of usable space. ( I know the backup has nothing to do with the CS6 performance or configuration, just mentioning it ).
    FYI, the machine is a desktop, not a laptop, with an ASRock Extreme 11 x79 mb which gives me enough SATA3 connections and has onboard RAID options
    Other components are a 3930k processor, 64 gb 8 x 8 Corsair Vengenace 1866 c9 memory kit, and an EVGA GTX680 4G Classified Video Card.
    Thanks again for taking the time to reply - much appreciated
    I'm looking forward to getting the build up and running
    Happy to hear anyone else's thoughts on this topic too.
    Kind Regards
    Martin.

    When you upgrade the firmware on your Router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    For your XBOX you can make these changes on  yuor Router as well as on your XBOX. I think it should make the NAT Open on your XBOX.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox, Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...

  • What do I do if I see "Secure Boot isn't configured correctly" on my Desktop?

    QuestionWhat do I do if I see "Secure Boot isn't configured correctly" on my Desktop?
    AnswerSecure Boot is an option, introduced to most consumers in Windows 8, in the UEFI settings, which some people might call the BIOS. When enabled, your computer will only load drivers or operating system loads that have an acceptable digital signature. This means that Secure Boot ensures harmful software doesn't attempt to load during the boot process.
    This may become disabled for a variety of reasons. The most likely is that it was disabled to allow the computer to boot from an external device or to boot a previous version of Windows. In the original version of Windows 8, Windows gave no indication that Secure Boot was disabled. Windows 8.1 changed this by displaying a watermark on the desktop.
    If you intended Secure Boot to be disabled, there is no problem. The watermark can be safely ignored, but there is no setting to remove it.
    If you did not intent Secure Boot to be disabled, you can enable it. Open the Charms by swiping in from the right, moving the mouse cursor to top-right or bottom-right corner, or pressing Windows+C, then select the following:
    Settings > Power > Shift + Restart > Troubleshoot > UEFI Firmware Settings
    In the UEFI Firmware Settings, navigate to the Security tab and set Secure Boot to Enabled.
    For more information on the watermark, please see this article by Microsoft.
    "Secure Boot isn't configured correctly" watermark on the desktop

    It is a very small battery inside which keeps settings, your clock, etc. going. They usually last 3 - 5 years and I don't believe they are user replaceable. I would make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar and have them do it.

  • Supported Configurations for VDI 3.1

    I have a question about the supported configurations for VDI 3.1.
    We have a small office where we would have only about 12-15 desktops and would be using the VirtualBox virtualization platform with VDI. The standard vbox configuration recommends 4-5 servers depending on whether you have one of the VirtualBox hosts sharing a machine with the primary VDI node or not. The only other supported configuration is a single host configuration where everything resides on one physical host (and thus one big single point of failure).
    My question is can you have a modified version of the single-host configuration for small office environments? For example, I have two X4240 servers with 4x 136GB hard drives each. I know the VDI hosts need to be on three different hosts to satisfy the MySQL clustering configuration. So can I have something like the following on only three boxes?
    [Sun VDI Primary] on a small (Dual Core CPU, 2 or 4GB RAM) X86 server
    [Sun VDI Secondary + Virtual Box desktop services + Storage services] on X4240 (2x Quad Core CPU, 16GB RAM)
    [Sun VDI Secondary + Virtual Box desktop services + Storage services] on X4240 (2x Quad Core CPU, 16GB RAM)
    I'm just trying to design a configuration for a small office environment that uses the fewest servers but at the same time is not one big single point of failure as would be the case with a single host configuration.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed...
    Thanks in advance,
    -Ken

    Just simply load balancing? Or something more?I often encounter potential customers who'd be interested to buy Sun VDI but they shy away from such thoughts because they realise that the VMware ESX license costs they would have to spend money for will be killing them financially. And they don't see VirtualBox as a "good enough" alternative: It's a "toy", it can't do live migration (e.g. with VMware if they wanted that feature one day they could simply license it and "unlock" it), it's not a bare metal hypervisor ....
    So now I could at least counter the point about VirtualBox not being able to do live migrations because now it can do that and there are no additional licenses to pay and no features to unlock. The feature is there from start. So that's good.
    But the other issues remain: it's not "bare metal". It would have been nice to have some sort of true "VirtualBox Server" or "VirtualBox for VDI -- Bare Metal Edition". Sun had such a product in the pipelines: "Sun xVM Server" ... but this product was killed after EA #2. Silly move, IMHO. It would have been wiser to finish this product and then have Sun VDI support it as virtualisation backend as well.
    Talking of which: Any chance that Sun VDI might one day support the various XEN-based products that exist? If I am not mistaken Sun's "xVM" hypervisor in Solaris/OpenSolaris is in principle just another XEN implementation too. And then there is "Oracle VM" .... so in light of the merger with Oracle I'd say it would make sense if Solaris xVM and Oracle VM/Xen were supported as well. I find it odd that XEN-based products which are widely used in certain circles (e.g. Universities) are being omitted but that there is support for Microsoft Hyper-V which is so brand new and still so lacking in the features department that it is hardly used by anyone except by some paid "early adopters" ...
