"Consolidate" commands and tasks in ARD

I (or rather my client) want to schedule a series of commands and tasks in ARD 3.5.1. Specifically-
1. Wake the client machine;
2. Install all software updates;
3. Restart the client machine;
4. Run permissions fix on the client.
For now, the only way I can see to do this is to schedule all four as separate commands to be run one after anotrher. Is there a way to consolidate the commands so that only one task needs to run?
Or is there another way to accomplish the same thing that I'm overlooking?
Thanks!

I ended up accomplishing everything I need using the following script (using Dreamweaver in this example instead of Photoshop, which is my next task):
# Create directory for mount point
mkdir /Volumes/MyShare
# Mount network share
mount -t afp afp://username:[email protected]/MyShare /Volumes/MyShare
# Copy Dreamweaver folder to /Applications
cp -R "/Volumes/MyShare/Macromedia/Studio MX/Macromedia Dreamweaver MX" /Applications
# Copy working registration file
cp "/Volumes/MyShare/Macromedia/Studio MX/Dreamweaver MX Registration" "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/"
# Unmount network volume
umount /Volumes/MyShare

People and Tasks pages stuck on loading in OWA - other settings not working

Single Exchange 2013 CU6 on Server 2012 R2 in coexistence with Exchange 2007 during migration.
Having a problem with OWA on Exchange 2013. When clicking on the People or Tasks tab they never load just say loading. Also unable to enter certain settings from the settings menu like Change Theme, Display Settings, Offline Settings; the browser doesn't
do anything when those links are clicked. Composing an email in HTML doesn't work either; unable to type in the email body (no cursor or Font Styles bar) and changing to Plain Text allows user to type in the email body. This behavior is the same across IE11,
Chrome 38, Firefox, Safari. Seems to be a problem with OWA premium as OWA light on an XP machine with IE8 doesn't have any of the above problems. OWA works fine in Exchange 2013 CU4 in our lab environment.
Thanks for any suggestions as I am banging my head against the wall with this.

Hi Sherms_a,
Do all the problematic mailboxes stored in exchange 2013 server?
If you create a new mailbox in exchange 2013, and check if there is the same issue .
In addition, you can add the light version of Outlook Web App in to the Outlook Web App sign-in page though the following command, and check if there is the same issue when using OWA light:
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -identity "servername\owa (Default Web Site)" -LogonPageLightSelectionEnabled $True
If the issue is still persist after trying all the suggestions above, I recommend you try to re-build OWA virtual directory and check the result.

About subproject and task

Dear all,
I have a issue about the task and subproject,I create project A and task T01,and create other project B,the project B is project a subproject,It assignment to task T01,now about T01 start date:2011-05-01 & end date:2011-08-31,when I schdule the subproject B set the start date:2011-04-05 & end date:2011-09-30,but the system didn't give me any information tell me subproject B planning and master project A task T01 have conflict.
But I think if project B is project A subproject,Project B must accroding project A schdule the planning.

Hi driver,
if I create the task on the fly in the vi, it is pretty heavy.
What means "heavy"?
- Yes, you should clear the task at end: the task is just the definition of a (DAQ) hardware setup, by clearing the task you free up that hardware...
- No, the task definition will not be removed from MAX. You just release the hardware.
- No, you cannot use the task more than once at the same time. As it is bound to some hardware you cannot use that single piece of hardware for more than one operation at a time…
- Yes, you may use the task in two VIs, that are called one after the other - but not at the same time…
- When you need two VIs "A" and "B" to output values to the same task you should use a different VI "C" that handles all hardware access while "A" and "B" just send new "commands" to "C". Think as "multiple producer, single consumer" scheme...

Measure the communicating time between LabView send out commands and response of instrument

I send a command to a function generator(SRS DS345)using "GPIB Write" via GPIB,to change the frequency of output.And I would like to to measure the time between
initially send out commands and actual response of instrument(frequency change).I have designed a program which contains three sequences,the 2nd one contains "GPIB Write",and the 1st and the 3rd contain "Tick count",then subtract the latter from first one.I think this is not the time that I want...
What should I do ?
Thanks!!

If want a more precise and NIST-traceable method of timing a portion of your LabVIEW code. The below VI uses two counters on an E-Series or NI-TIO based device to complete this task.
Download the attached VI and replace the for loop (EVENT TO TIME) with your VI or code.
This example uses the maximum timebase of your device as the source for "simple event counting". Due to counter roll-over, two counters are used in order to be able to time events of short or very long duration. See VI Documentation for more information.

Incremental and Full backups using WBADMIN and Task Scheduler in Server 2008 R2

I'd like to create an automated rotating schedule of backups using wbadmin and task scheduler, which would backup Bare Metal Recovery; System State; Drive C: and D: to a Network Share in a pattern like this:
Monday - Incremental, overwrite last Monday's
Tuesday - Incremental, overwrite last Tuesday's
Wednesday - Incremental, overwrite last Wednesday's
Thursday - Incremental, overwrite last Thursday's
Friday - Incremental overwrite last Friday's
Saturday - Full, overwrite last Saturday's
I need to use the wbadmin commands within the Task Scheduler and do not know any of the required Syntax to make sure everything goes smoothly, I do not want to do this through the CMD.

I know each backup for the previous corresponding day will be replaced, how do you figure I wont be able to do incremental backups...
Because incremental backup is based on Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) feature and due to Windows Server 2008 R2 limitations (this limitation is resolved in Windows 8) only one version of backed up data can be stored in a shared folder. So the
result is that every time you back up some data on a shared folder, you actually creating a full backup of them.
is it not supported through task scheduler?
The Task Scheduler is only a feature that does the tasks that you have defined for it. Actually it runs the
wbadmin command that runs on an operating system with the mentioned limitation.
I know you can do Incremental backups through Windows Server Backup, but my limitation using that is I cant setup multiple backups.
Yes, you are right. Windows Server Backup feature in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 has not this functionality (although
ntbackup in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 had this functionality). So, the only workaround to this limitation is through using Task Scheduler feature with wbadmin command. For more information see the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/04/13/customizing-windows-server-backup-schedule.aspx
So are you saying that even though I want each backup to go to a different place on the Shared Folder that it will replace the previous backup anyways?
No and because of this I said in my previous post that with some modifications and additions you can do the scenario. For example, you back up to a shared folder with the name of Shared1 on Mondays. You also have been configured the backup feature to back
up data on another shared folder, named Shared2, on Wednesday. When you repeat the backup operation in Shared1, only the backed up data that resides on it will be affected, and the data on Shared2 remains intact.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any question or concern.

Hi R.Alikhani
Then do you know if wbadmin supports incremental backup in Windows 8? As you said the VSS issue is fixed in Win8. However, the wbadmin has less options then in windows server. I tried a bit but it seems it only supports full backup? ps, I use a network share
- will the incremental backup works if I define a ISCCI then? My remote backup PC is also running Win8.

Sending commands and getting answers

Hi,
     In the given attachment, you have a set of textboxes under checkbox and more down to the tabcontrol. Now, i want communicate with the SMPS(inbetween i have a microcontroller)for getting answers. I dont have any basic idea regarding the task. My instructor gave me a bunch of commands and i have to slect some commands(PM bus) from and used in the application.
    Can any one give suggestions about this, Thanks in advance.

now, i have taken the sequence structure and tried to implement all the commands appending together but its not working, Because my device will undestand only hex and i think i am sending normal string so far. The thing what i am doing is exactly wrong and for tommorow's metting i need to show some thing. In my case, i need to monitor and control the SMPS. I am using PMBus protocol(i have taken commands from http://pmbus.org/docs/PMBus_Specification_Part_II_Rev_1-1_20070205.pdf and in that you can see commands in last pages) on slave side to get and set the data. in my attched VI the 5 numeric indicators shown down to tab control are monitor stuff i.e those are only read parameters. Right now, i am just sending the command code for tommarows meeting but indeed i need to send a packet structure to get data and set data. My basic doubt is how can implement set of commands everytime to write one by one continously and each command cost a result back which i need to store that in the textboxes(not all only below 5). Other text boxes can read the data as well write to the device drictly from numeric indicators. Dont have any basic idea to do that. Can any one help me.

What is the diffrence between OMB plus command and OMB command

what is the diffrence between OMB plus command and OMB command?
are they both TCL command?

Hi Alena,
Welcome to SDN.
Check this
EXIT in Loops and Modularization Units
Basic form
EXIT.
Effect
Within a loop structure:
Terminates looop processing (DO, WHILE, LOOP, SELECT).
Within subroutines and other modularization units (but not in a loop structure):
Leaves the subroutine or modularization unit (FORM, MODULE, FUNCTION, TOP-OF-PAGE, END-OF-PAGE).
Outside loop structures and modularization units (report processing):
Terminates report processing and triggers list display.
But not sure about
atexit() .. ,may use in Object Oriented Programming.

Hi Venkat Mallela,
Sorry to say this, but you must stop rewarding your own threads. A user registered today (10/25//2007) and posted many threads and always rewarded you as thread completed. I dodn't think it is a coincidence.
If every SDN member starts playing this dirty trick, then there is no meaning to use SDN. SDN is for the people who share their good project experiences by helping other members by answering the issue.
As I mentioned before, I should take up this issue with SAP officials if this happens again.
Not only you, some other members were also recently started practicing the same trick, which is not a good thing.
Hope you understood the voice of other forum members like me.
Thanks,
Paul Kondaveeti

I just downloaded and instaled firefox 4. Now, everytime I institute a command I get a po[p-up from Java script that tells me to uninstal set. I cannot go on untin I press ok and then I am good for one more command and it starts with the pop-up again.

I'm not even sure if this is an extension or plug-in and all I can tell you is what I have already stated. I can only make one command at a time and after each one I get a pop-up from Java script that says uninstal set. I must depress ok to move on, but only for one more command and it starts over again. This also happened when I tried to instal firefox 4 a couple months ago and I deleted the program and went back to an earlier version.

How to remove the Options and Task from the toolbar

In the FLM portal initially we can see 'Options' in the menu bar after we log in. Below it there is 'Tasks' and 'Reports'. on clicking 'Tasks' and new menu bar 'Tasks' can be seen, under which 'New Tasks' option is there. When we click on 'New Forms' it shows the list of forms and when we select the desired form it opens the interactive form.
My problem is when this form is opened on the header the 'Options' and 'Tasks' bar can be seen, under which the adobe menu bar comes (Print, Save, Zoom etc.) . This 'Options' and 'Tasks' how to remove from the interactive forms page.

What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

How to put echo command and other command in same line in Terminal

Hello everyone. I use GeekTool (v3.0.1) and was wondering if I could put an "echo" command and another command in a shell script such that the output would be 1 line only instead of 2 lines for the 2 commands. How do I do that?

Second, after trying to repair again the icloud 3.0 through the Control Panel of Windows, guess what? It made Offce to crash again! Now I will have to install it again.

Week view and task list solutions? Solved: a way to sync notes to Mac.

I've been using a Palm Tungsten T5 for years and routinely rely on the Palm's Calendar week view feature and task list. The week view is indispensable to see where I can fit in appointments. Are there any ways to achieve the same functionalities on the iPhone, whether using built-in iPhone apps or third party apps? The task list would have to include item priorities, due dates, alarms, and ideally repeating events.
I have found a way to sync notes from the iPhone to my Mac using MarkSpace's The Missing Sync for iPhone; notes are synced to the MarkSpace "notebook" application, where you can edit the notes (and copy and paste) and sync them back to the iPhone. This doesn't sync notes with any Apple applications, though.
If I could solve the week view and task list omissions, I could see my way to replace my Palm with an iPhone. (And when ePocrates releases a full suite for the iPhone, I'll be all set.) But in the absence of these, I'll have to keep using a Palm.

I'm in the same boat, unfortunately.
As a life long Palm-User the PIM-functionalities of iCal can only be described as "rudimentary". It is nowhere near DateBk6 for example. And I would be just fine if it would come close to say 50% of it's functionality. Right now it's at about 25%.
- no repeating tasks?
- no tasks+calendar in one view?
- no week view?
- no icons for event/task categories?
Come on Apple, such a great device with the amazing screen resolution, horizontal view etc. and you are not taking opportunity of it and get beat by 10 year old PDA's?
