Connect SAP BO server to domain after the installation.

Hello,
I would like to ask if it is fine to connect SAP BO BI 4.x Windows host to the customer domain after the installation of SAP BO.
I was trying to find answer on this but nowhere is explicitly recommended to connect SAP BO host to domain before the installation.
My question is related to Windows AD Authentication where two conditions need to be secured:
1. Windows AD authentication only works if the CMS is run on Windows
2. These Windows machine must be joined to the appropriate AD domain
What I found till know is that you can use Windows AD Authentication only when SAP BO server is in domain.
What is concerning me is that when I start with installation of SAP BO on the server which is not connected to any domain then the installation process is taking during the installation actual hostname of the SAP BO server (e.g. boserver) automatically. There is no requirement or possibility to specify hostname or IP address manually during the installation process. And I assume that connecting SAP BO server to the domain after installation will cause that hostname will change (e.g. to boserver.domain.com).
So question is if this change will cause any issue for functionality of SAP BO application. If not could you please send me an official statement from SAP Note or any BO Documentation as I was not able to find any.
Thanks in advance for opinions and answers.
BR,
Peter

Hi Bill,
thanks for reply. I spoke with couple of my colleagues which are supporting AD and yes I can agree with you that connecting server to the customer domain after the installation of BO can bring some limitation up to Domain policy.
Best practice in order to prevent possible issues is to join server to the domain before installation.
Another possible issue can be that some customers are using own naming convention for server's hostname so joining server to the customer domain is conditioned by a change of hostname and this can cause issue with correct functioning of BO application.
Thanks again for your opinion I really appreciate it.
Wish you a nice week.
BR,
Peter

  • What can I do to recover data from my iPhone 4s? The phone fail to come on again after the installation of the new iOS8. The phone is locked and I didn't make any backup before the updating installation. Inside I have very important info.

    I Have problems with my iPhone 4s after the installation of the new iOS8, the phone doesn't want to switch on again. I need to recover some important data that I have inside the phone.

    There isn't anything you can do to recover contents from iPhone 4s if you cannot get the iPhone to startup.  Connect it to a wall outlet so you have a solid power source, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if that appears.  If the iPhone still will not startup, the next options to try will automatically erase your iPhone all of its contents.
    The next step is to do a restore via the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 but again note that this erases the iPhone.
    Thank you Landry, it is really a good experience to solve problem of iPhone Data Recovery!

  • Who kills your iPod after the installation of iPod updater?

    Hello all,
    First, sorry for my poor English. I am not a professional nor a technician and I could be wrong, so please correct me. There are many problems reported mainly from the PC users that their iPod can't be recognized nor mounted after the installation of the latest iPod updater. Most of them claimed that the iPod updater kills their beloved iPods. Before we jump to a conclusion, we must understand what is iPod, and how does the iPod update work.
    I believe that iPod equals a basic computer and need a OS in order to communicate with the PC. Installation the Updater will format the Hard disk of the iPod and then install the simple OS, so if we open the iPod updater file, it will show a window with two buttons i.e. Restore and Update, an Update is to copy the latest OS over the old version, but the Restore will format the hard disk before it install the OS over it. And importantly, during this process, the iPod needs sufficient of power to complete the upgrade, however, the problem comes just after the format, and the PC's USB (only 2 will work not 1.1) does not supply the stable power,even some cases that iPod does not get charge in the half way of installatin (a proper installation, you will see a running bar showing on the iPod screen just after the format), so you can imagine a hard disk got format but only got an uncompleted OS, of course, the iPod would not get recognized and mounted, and do not manage to communicate with the computer. At this stage the iPod will show a Sad iPod icon, a folder with exclamaiton points or a battery charging icon.
    So, what would you do when it reach at this stage, a Reset would not work, and you would not able to do the Restore as the iPod is totally unrecognized by the computer.
    Therefore, is there anyway to solve this problem, in my opinion and from my past experience, the answer is "yes", the simple way is to put your iPod in Disk Mode, when it plug to the computer, it will show as an external Hard Disk, you must fix it by doing a format (RESTORE would not work at this stage as it still can't recognized and mounted), in Mac we can use "Disk Utility" but the XP would not allow you to do the format in FAT32. After the formatting, replug the iPod with the computer, then it can be mounted and allow you to do the RESTORE.
    In addition, I find an interesting point is, if your iPod formatted with a Mac, you will have better chance to be mounted with a PC, even your iPod does not complete the process of the installation of the iPod updater, and a PC formatted iPod will be likely to be fixed by a Mac as well.
    How should we do before the update of the lastest software, for the XP user please do the following:-
    1. Go to the system restore and create a check point in order to revert back to the previous version of the iPod updater, or do the back up using the 3rd party software such as Ghost or Go Back.
    2. To have a test and make sure the PC's USB works properly. You can use the iPod or a PDA, and just make sure it got charged.
    3. Have your iPod a full charge before the installation of the iPod updater
    So, who is the main killer for the iPod?
    For further infomation please read the following link - which wrote by a groups of great people - thank you guys

    Hello Shanker Ghimire,
    Please try run the following command:" devenv /resetuserdata " to have a test, it will clear all your settings. 
    By the way, have you ever got any error when install that Visual Studio SDK?
    In case there are some unknown errors, I'd like to ask you for some logs. Please use

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

  • After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    Let's be real clear here -- are you saying you are using Internet Explorer and when you try and download Mozilla Firefox it gets around 75% through and shuts down?
    If so there is something wrong with your computer -- or at least IE. I rarely, if ever, recommend this, but it might be time to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your OS (if you are even thinking about doing this the first thing you must do is back up all your data files, preferably to writable media like DVDR or CDR).
    If you have a friend with a computer perhaps you can get them to download both the latest iTunes as well as (more importantly) the latest firmware updater, and then install them on your machine (they can write them to their own CD).
    The other thing that occurs to me is you might not be logged in as admin on that computer -- make sure you are doing this and are the only user.
    Otherwise my brain is fuzzy right now -- perhaps someone else can jump in after you reply (I'm right in the middle of packing for a cross country move and only able to spend about five minutes a day on this board).

    Thank you for all of your answer.

    I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
    Reset PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
    You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Is ldconfig (or anything similar) required after the installation of shared library?

    After a shared library (.dylib) is compiled and is put into an appropriate directory, is "ldconfig" or a similar command required to finalize the installation?
    On Linux, each time a shared library (.so) is installed or uninstalled, /etc/ld.so.cache must be updated by running the "ldconfig" command.  Does Mac OS X require "ldconfig" or a similar command after the installation or uninstallation of  a shared library (.dylib)?
    Note that a shared library may also be called a shared object (so), a dynamically linked library, or a dynamic-link library (dll).
    Thanks.

    The following excerpt explains why Linux uses "ldconfig" after the installation or uninstallation of a shared library.
    http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html
    | On Linux systems, this loader ... finds
    | and loads all other shared libraries
    | used by the program.
    |
    | The list of directories to be searched
    | is stored in the file /etc/ld.so.conf.
    |
    | Searching all of these directories at
    | program start-up would be grossly
    | inefficient, so a caching arrangement is
    | actually used. The program ldconfig(8)
    | by default reads in the file
    | /etc/ld.so.conf, sets up the appropriate
    | symbolic links in the dynamic link
    | directories (so they'll follow the
    | standard conventions), and then writes a
    | cache to /etc/ld.so.cache that's then
    | used by other programs. This greatly
    | speeds up access to libraries. The
    | implication is that ldconfig must be run
    | whenever a DLL is added, when a DLL is
    | removed, or when the set of DLL
    | directories changes; running ldconfig is
    | often one of the steps performed by
    | package managers when installing a
    | library. On start-up, then, the dynamic
    | loader actually uses the file
    | /etc/ld.so.cache and then loads the
    | libraries it needs.
    How does Mac OS X deal with this issue?
    Linux uses the cache file "/etc/ld.so.cache" to avoid the redundant search of directories.  Linux uses "ldconfig" to update the cache.
    How does Mac OS X avoid the inefficient redundant search of directories?

  • I have Macromedia Fireworks 3.0 and the install process doesn´t run! After the installation the message is: fireworks cannot run. the resource files are missing or damaged. I use Windows 8.1

    I have Macromedia Fireworks 3.0 and the install process doesn´t run! After the installation the message is: fireworks cannot run. the resource files are missing or damaged. I use Windows 8.1. Antworten auf Deutsch wären super!

    As far as I know there is no download resource for older Macromedia programs and it is highly unlikely that one as old as version 3 of Fireworks will be able to work on a Windows 8.1 system.  I was unable to get a Studio 8 version installation on a Vista system, and likely even an XP system (cannot remember that far back).

  • IMessage doesn't work after the installation of the update 5.1

    iMessage doesn't work after the installation of the update 5.1

    I am unsure whether my issue relates to updating to OS5.1 but seems coincidental that I have only had the problem for the last few days since updating.
    I can use iMessage without a problem although some messages are delayed in being sent or received recently. However, I can no longer send MMS picture messages. I have spoken to my provider who has been through all their relevant settings checks. I have restarted the phone (iPhone 3GS), I have tried turning off iMessage to send MMS but still nothing works.
    I've had no issue sending MMS picture messages since owning the phone right up until a few days ago.
    Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions on anything else I can try please?
    Thanks
