Configuring login and file servers

Dear Frinds
  I have 3 servers in my office. I have plan to configure these three together in my office. My plan is one server just only for login purpose and other two to keep the home folders and shared folders.the function is when one network user log in to one client machine, it just login(by using first server)and disconnect from first server and connect to the either two (means direct to the homefolder i created either of two server). Means first server as login server and other two are file servers. please help. how can i set it up........
thanks
Raj

  • Active Directory domain migration with Exchange 2010, System Center 2012 R2 and File Servers

    Greeting dear colleagues!
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    I have a single domain with Forest/Domain level 2003 and two DC (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). My domain contains Exchange 2010 Organization, some System Center components (SCCM, SCOM, SCSM) and File Servers with mapped "My Documents" user folders. Domain
    has about 1500 users/computers.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption? Maybe someone has already done something like that before? Please, write that here, i promise that i won't ask for instruction from you,
    maybe only some small questions :)
    Now I'm studying ADMT manual for sure.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Dmitriy,
    I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
    How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption?
    As far as I know, during inter-forest migration, user and group objects are cloned rather than migrated, which means they can still access resources in the source forest, they can even access resources after the migration is completed. You can ask users
    to switch domain as soon as the new domain is ready.
    Therefore, there shouldn’t be a huge downtime/interruption.

  • How do i configure "login/create_sso2_ticket" and login/accept_sso2_ticket?

    anyone can help me?
    **The user and roles that we imported into the BusinessObjects Enterprise system have no rights / authorizations in the BusinessObjects Enterprise system so far but you can use the standard mechanism to assign rights in the Central Management Console to those users and user groups.
    For the scenario where you want to use SSO based on tickets with the BusinessObjects Enterprise and the BI System (either from the SAP GUI or via the SAP Enterprise Portal) you need to configure profile parameters in the SAP BI System.
    The two profile parameters are:
    login/accept_sso2_ticket
    login/create_sso2_ticket
    how do i proceed to configure login/accept and login/create sso2? thanks

    Hi cantii,
    you have to modify a parameter file  on your SAP BW server and restart it. You should ask your SAP BASIS admin to do this for you. She/he should know where the file resides.

  • Too many database connections and configurator logins ?

    Hi,
    We're having some performance and/or stability problem with Oracle Waveset 8.1.1. patch 2.
    I'm not sure what the problems is yet, but two facts got my attention:
    I noticed for too many database connections waiting to be closed on the OS, varying between 600 and 1200 :
    TCP: IPv4
    Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q State

    etc.
    (doesburg is our Solaris 10 server where the tomcat application server is installed, hopewell is our Oracle 10g database server )
    I also noticed numerous Configurator logins in the audit log, about 10 per second:

  • New "user" created at every login - settings and files lost

    Hi there,
    I've recently replaced a faulty hard disk, re-installed all applications and restored files from backup. I'm using OS X 10.4.11 and an iBook G4.
    Ever since, every time I login, the computer creates a new user and hence my settings and files are not available.
    My user is called e.g."Jack & Jill", but it creates a new user called "iBook" and moves my "Jack & Jill" user to Macintosh HD > Users.
    I can access everything by finding the old "Jack & Jill" user, but it stuffs up using applications because all the settings are under the Library for "Jack & Jill".
    I have tried copying all the files and settings to the "iBook" user, but when I login next time it creates a new "iBook" user, and re-names the previous one "iBook 1" and moves it to the Macintosh HD > Users directory.
    Upshot is every time I login, it's a major hassle to find all my files and get all the settings right.
    Has anyone heard of this problem before and can recommend a solution?
    Cheers,
    Tertullian

    Hi Tertullian, I've seen this, it usually happens when a users name is renamed, whether you did it or it was a spontaneous event...
    Return to default desktop, apparent "loss" of home directory, (it can happen spontaneously too)...

  • Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and multiple servers.

    Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

    David,
    We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows
    you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the
    incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you
    define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that
    talks about it specifically.
    As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will
    automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about
    using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in
    front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within
    Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he
    established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun
    on this one.

  • Error in OAM Identity and Access Servers login pages

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install OAM I completed all installations . But now am getting error as invalid "*Invalid credential*". IS there any process to know what the userid and password for the both Identity and Access Servers . Please tell me if there is any process. It very helpful to me .
    Thank u & Regards
    Pokuri

    Hi Pokuri,
    Could be that the searchbase is wrong, so that OAM is not finding the user whose credentials you are entering. Or, maybe OAM is using a different attribute as the login attribute (for example, you could be entering the cn when OAM is expecting the uid).
    Try binding to ldap with another utility (such as ldapbind or ldapsearch) to see if this gives any indications. You may need to reconfigure the Identity Server to verify/correct the searchbase (for this, follow note 730376.1) and to check which attribute has the "Login" semantic type in OAM.
    Regards,
    Colin

  • Login and download a .pdf file

    The company I work for has electronic manuals in .pdf format on a company website. Some manuals are updates once per week.
    Is it possible to have Automator:
    1. Automatically login to the company website
    2. Locate and download the .pdf files
    3. Save the files in a specified location on my computer.
    4. Logoff the website.
    Thanks.

    You can create a pretty great login system using nothing more
    than the
    server behaviors that ship with Dreamweaver. Pick your server
    model and
    read the docs in the HELP section to get started.

  • BSPs configuration with multiple apps servers

    Hi Masters,
    This is regrarding configure ICM and BSPs on our production box with multiple application servers.
    We have our production box in a cluster environment.
    The central instance is dbciSAP and apps servers are sapaps2 thru sapaps6. The database is on shared disks. Whenever the central instance fails sapaps2 takes the control and become as dbciSAP but the main dbciSAP never become a application server when ever sapaps2 acts as dbciSAP. Since we have configured load balancing concept in production environment the users can login to system thru any application server. This is waht our environment.
    As part of our production box to SAP 4.7 upgrade from 4.6C, we are asked to configure the environment to deploy BSPs. We have successfully configured and deployed the BSPs in our DEV and QAS system  (Both are central instances with no application servers) except production box which is due in the next month.
    The process we follow to activate BSPs is as follows:
    1.Define an ICM service port in /etc/services file.
    2.Add the ICM related parameters in instance profiles.
    3.Make sure the ICM status is active in SMICM tx.
    4.Activate the BSP services in SICF as per OSS note 571484.
    Now, the question is how to configure the same ICM service and activate the BSPs since we have multiple multiple application servers.
    Subsequently What I am enquirying is:
    Do I need to define ICM service ports on each and every hosts where the application servers are running?
    Do I need to make changes to each and every instance profile of the application server?
    What are the differences in configuring ICM services on central instance and application instances?
    Appreciate any help in this regard.
    Thanks and Regards
    Murty Patchipala

    Grasshopper,
    I think what you should really read up on is the SAP WebDispatcher.  If are serious about running BSP/ICM across multiple app servers, this is the key technology:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/5cfd3b0e59774ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm  This may also answer some of your questions about profile parameters.
    Other than that I can share what we did.  We did activate the ICM and services on all app servers and central instance.  The service ports of the individual servers aren't that important now because of the WebDispatcher (at least they aren't visible to the user).
    Yes we did make some of the ICM profile changes in each instance profile.  If your settings are the same, consider using the default profile.   Are their particular settings you are interested?  I will look over ours, but I don't remember any huge differences from APP server to Central Instance.

  • How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    My flex project works fine using the below but when I upload my flash file to the server I doesn't work, all the relative paths and files are the same execpt the remote one is a linux server.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    I think the problem  is the line
            <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
    but I'm not sure how to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
    The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
    Hi Paul,
    In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    IF
    services-config.xml
    have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
    -context-root
    and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
    Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
    for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    have been specified durring compilation.
    I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf  about service confogiration,
    1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml  parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
    or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

  • Time Capsule as a classroom WAP and file server?

    Hello all:
    I am teaching a new course, Big History, which has been developed to take advantage of iPad or other tablets in a WiFi classroom setting.
    As our school does not have a school-wide WiFi setup (wired LAN only) I am working together with our IT techie to implement a Time Capsule in our classroom only.
    Security and limited access is of paramount importance due to regulations here in Spain, i.e., students may only access those sites required by the course and can't use classtime to play around. I won't be buying the gear until I know it will function as needed...
    This WiFi setup is a pilot project, and if successful will lead to a school-wide rollout of WiFi and iPad teaching.
    The success of this implementation depends on getting it right...then we can join the 21st century...so I could really use some help here. Here's what we know so far.
    The school's wired LAN must have the restrictions in place as mentioned above, and it would be impractical to selectively unblock specific laptops in the computer lab during my class teaching hours and only for the students in my class.
    Every day's instruction needs different sites unblocked. So you can see this would be cumbersome for the techie...that is, he doesn't want to do it.
    All of my students already have their own tablet devices with WiFi, so it's BYOD.
    We will connect the TC via its WAN port to the school's wired system. The techie will set us up as a "sub" network, in effect bypassing the schools main LAN, and we will have no restrictions.
    The TC will then act as a WAP and basic file server for classroom resources and for students to pass in homework.
    We will then set up a user's group for access to not only the Internet, but also files stored on the TC's hard drive.
    Kids will be kids. If we don't limit access to the TC's WiFi, I fully expect that my students will give out their logins and passwords, and will tell other students when I am holding the class so they could use the WiFi surreptitiously. Kudos to the kids for being clever, if I were a teenager again I'd do it too...but it ain't gonna happen.
    So far we have concluded that to avoid this: I will take the TC with me when class has ended; and each student's device will be registered as a user by it's MAC Nº.
    My immediate questions:
    Will this work as I have described? Have I missed something?
    I have read elsewhere in other Apple support threads that I may be asking something of the TC that Apple has not envisaged...in order to use TC as I want, we need a specific configuration to access the Internet and also to allow guests on the network?
    I will be using my MacBook, connected via Minidisplay port -- VGA adapter to the classroom projector and audio.  I will be access the same files on the TC that my students do. How do I protect my files on my MacBook from intrusion? That is, students can only see what's on the TC's drive.
    The students can upload their homework to TC and also download files from the TC to their devices for homework, further study, etc. Yes? This will work?
    This is enough for one post...any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, if any Apple Education personel and/or gurus are monitoring, please feel free to chime in. If I am successful in this pilot project, it means another school joins the Apple Family (700 iPads!!!! How cool is that?)
    Many thanks in advance to all,

    Kinda disappointed that after 80 views no one could offer an opinion or solution. I went out and did my own research.
    Here's the deal:
    Time Capsule is designed for domestic / professionals who might have a design studio, etc., i.e., for users to have as a wireless backup device for all of their personal stuff (photos, videos, music and suchlike) and to have a permanent resource for every iteration of any work in progress they've ever done.
    TC and it's software is not able to easily, or practically, provide a file server type of environment for multiple users, such as in my application for the classroom. It's just to much of a hassle. Moreover, the TC (and the Extreme for that matter) is a "dumb" device...no processor, no RAM. Power supply, WiFi and a drive, basically. It's the wrong tool for my job, as cool as it is for other applications.
    Moreover, IMHO, TC is designed primarily for the USA, or any other region where the internet provider usually only supplies a cable/POTS modem. Both the TC and Extreme are best described as Routers in this instance. Here in Europe, at least in Spain, our providers supply a modem-router combination box. In order to use the AC or AE, I'll have to cable in from the modem router WAN to AC/AE WAN port, and then have to go into the M-R and turn off WiFi. Then I have to fiddle around with channels, and perhaps (hopefully not) ask my ISP for a gateway password. My Spanish MAC geek pals tell me that's not necessary. It's a kafuffle for the unitiated, but reasonably easily done.
    For true classroom use and all the stuff I want to do, one needs some sort of server environment. For me, it's going to be a MAC Mini + OS X Server cabled to Extreme over LAN. For my use, the 2 or 3 TB drive in the TC is superfluous, more hassle than it's worth and of little use in my specific application. Yeah, I could load OS X Server on my laptop, it's only €19.99, but that ain't gonna happen, not even on a partitioned disk. I'll cable lappy into the Mini as well. WiFi's for my BYOD students.
    BTW, I'll be buying the middle range Mini, 4 GB RAM, faster processor, with a Fusion Drive, and 3rd party RAM to 16 GB, and buy OS X Server for €19.99. BUT, I'm going to wait to see if there is a refresh later in the Fall with the launch of Mavericks.
    Hope this helps any others thinking about a similar situation.
    All the best,
    Steve
