Could someone advise on using deploy studio/net boot to mass net install

could someone advise on using deploy studio/net boot to mass net install software over a network. i know you first create a machine with all software on it, but then do you make an image with deploy studio? and deploy it from the xserve using deploy studio or do you do a netboot? what is the procedure for doing this kind of stuff?

Thanks for the replies.
I believe that I have found an easier solution for displaying a web intelligence report on my aspx page. I am now experimenting with adding an iframe control on the page and setting the src attribute to the report path. I am using the opendocument method for displaying the webi report. Listed below is some sample code.
strLink = "http://MyServerName/businessobjects/enterprise115/InfoView/scripts/opendocument.aspx?sDoc=PhyCompProviderSummaryWindowwAD+Drill&sType=wid&sViewer=html&iDocid=5159141&sRefresh=Y"
Me.ifSummary.Attributes.Add("src", strLink)
ifSummary is the ID of the iframe control on my page.
This method does not require any BOE dlls to be installed on the web server. I can easily set the document name and ID in the path at runtime.

Using Deploy Studio with 10.7.4

Hi,
I have been trying to use deploy studio with 10.7.4 on Macbook Pro and it never seems to be working. It can see the network and get to the spinning earth but nothing past there. Is any one else having trouble with this? Is there some checked box or something that you think might be holding up the process? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi hello
I have The same problems, hâve you found à solution ?
Thanks

Execution of Coded UI scripts with least possible test execution time in Windows7 Operating system using Visual Studio Test Agent 2010 without VS2010 installed

Hi All,
We are trying to execute coded UI scripts without Visual Studio installed. We are using “Visual Studio Test Agent 2010” for executing coded UI scripts without VS2010 in Windows 7, it is working fine. Also we verified executing the same script with VS2010
Premium, it works fine as well.
Here the challenge we are facing is with the Test execution time.
When we run the coded UI script with IE11-Windows 7 OS-Visual Studio 2010 Premium it takes
3min 36sec to complete the execution whereas with IE11-Windows 7 OS-Visual Studio Test Agent 2010 it takes
6min 40sec for the same script to execute (which is almost double the time it takes while executing using VS2010).
My question is what may be the reason for this difference? and how we can reduce the test execution time when running from Test Agent 2010?
Kindly let us know what is the best practice to execute the coded UI scripts with least test execution time in Windows 7 Operating system using Visual Studio Test Agent 2010 without VS2010
installed.
Looking forward for your positive response.
Thanks in advance..!!

Tina-Shi, Thanks for the information.
As you mentioned, we tried to execute the coded UI test using Mstest.exe in command on VS2010 Premium and checked on the execution
time, there was a slight difference.
Please find below execution time.
Using Mstest.exe in command on VS2010 Premium/Win7 – 3.47 minutes
Using VS2010 Premium/Win7 – 3.53 minutes
Using Test Agent/Win7 – 7.3 minutes
Also, I closed all the other processes in Task manager before starting up the execution.
Still , I am facing the same Issue. Could you please suggest any other way to reduce the scripting time of coded UI script execution
through Test agent 2010.
Looking forward for your earliest response.

Is it better to install windows on the same mac hard drive or use the second hard drive bay as it's own? Im also using deploy studio and am having trouble creating a workflow to assign the bay.

Have mac pros with 1tb drives in tem. Trying to figure out imaging via deploy studio.

For the easist install and problem solving having W7 on it's own disk would be the best way to go.
The only thing you need to do is either take out the lower # drives ahead of the future Windows disk or put the Windows HD in bay/slot #1. (or just take out all but the future W7 disk and install it manually works too)
The easiest way would be to put the W7 drive in slot slot/bay #1 then you can still use BC Assistant to install the drivers and such.
After the install you can have the Windows drive in any slot you want.
I'm not familier with Deploy Studio so can't help you beyond this.

Could someone advise me on a fix for my compiler

I have Xcode installed with both gcc-3.3 and gcc-4.0.1... BUT... i think that there is another version (gcc-4.1.1) floating around that I must have inadvertantly (or advertantly, but long enough ago that I don't remember doing it) installed through wither Fink or Darwinports. i THINK that it happened when i installed GHDL tools through Bertram's port to Darwin... which I have since "removed", but $sudo "gcc -v" says:
+Using built-in specs.+
+Target: i386-apple-darwin8.6.2+
+Configured with: /Users/fbertram/Documents/eng-osx/GHDL/gcc-4.1.1/configure --enable-languages=vhdl --disable-nls --disable-libssp --prefix=/Developer/Simulator/GHDL+
+Thread model: posix+
+gcc version 4.1.1+
i tried "sudo /usr/sbin/gcc_select 3.3" and "sudo gcc_select 3.3", but "gcc -v" still says the same as above. I checked by "echo $PATH" and I get:
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/u sr/X11R6/bin
Which looks OK. I am asking this because my builds are failing in strange ways lately, and I fear that they may be reading from the gcc 4.1.1. I tried uninstalling gcc-4.1.1 through fink and darwinports, but the program does not show up as being installed.
Anyone know what is going on here? it would be nice if there were a "dpkg-reconfigure gcc" function that I could use in OSX... I tried deleting Xcode and reinstalling from the CD ( after running uninstall-devtools.pl from the terminal) but there is no change.
HELP!

Hello,
Try "gcc_select -l" to see all available versions of gcc.
Try "gcc_select -n 3.3", this will show you the command gcc_select WOULD USE to make the change, without doing it. Check if it makes sense...
try "which gcc", this will give you the path for the first gcc in your path. Mine is in /usr/bin/gcc.
Now, cd to that directory (/usr/bin for me), and do "ls -ld gcc*". You should see gcc as a link to something like gcc-3.3 or gcc-4.0 .
Also, look at the compile log within XCode (build results). It might tell you which version of gcc it's using.
If XCode fails to compile even the simplest "Hello, world" program, try compiling it manually by invoking "/usr/bin/gcc-3.3 hello.c" from the source file's directory. You would get an executable called a.out that you can execute with "./a.out".
Good luck,
Yves

Hello. Im trying to download OSX mountain lion on 2013 Macbook air but I get a message saying this isnt supported. Could someone advise me please - its my first mac so please forgive the stupidity!

However when I try to, I get an error message saying it is not compatible ? According to the list it should be as its the new 13 inch. Forgive my stupidity as I have just got my head around an iMAC and whilst I love my MBA , I get a bit stumpped!!! Any help gratefully received. Thanks S

As shldr2thewheel pointed out, a 2013 MacBook would have shipped with Mountain Lion installed. It is a specialized version for that specific model, so a version of Mountain Lion downloaded from the Mac App Store will not work.
If you ever need to reinstall the OS, just use the built-in recovery partition, or Internet Recovery.

Could someone advise me on this matter?

Hey folks,
I have a brand new HTC One with Verizon which has had some wired issues, some of which reported on my previous threads here. I wanted to try another device and now, Verizon is making an "exception" for me and is giving me two options (I am beyond the 14-day window btw). Option one: replace this phone with a refurbished phone (probably an iPhone) for the same price, Option two: get a new iPhone (or any other phone) and pay the difference. My HTC One was basically free so I would have to pay sth like $200 for an iPhone or S4 or.... Let's say I want to choose one of these options. Could you let me know me the pros and cons of each and which one would you choose?
I'd appreciate it.

I would go with the newest technology for my buck. You will have the phone you pick for quite a while, no sense wishing for a new phone the moment you get home.

I have both a PC (work) and my new Macbook Air. I am having issues with opening files that I have saved on my USB Flash Drive. The files are not corrupted because it works on my PC perfectly. Could someone advise how to fix the issue?

Please help!!!

Yes, I have the MS Office software for MAC that I bought from the Apple Store.
This is the Error.
Excel Cannot Open this File.
The file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
- I created these files on my MAC, but I have worked on it on my PC. But I can't reopen it on my MAC anymore.
Thanks All for the help.

I have an Ipad2 and cannot remember how to transfer pictures from my IPad to IPhoto on my Mac computer. Could someone advise?

I have an Ipad2 and need to transfer pictures from it to my IPhoto app on my Mac computer. Can you provide me simple instructions.
Charlotte Eggers

To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - if you connect the iPad to your Mac and open iPhoto then the it should recognise the iPad as a camera and allow you to copy those photos off.
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

Could someone help me quickly, i put in new harddrive, lion is installing, but snow leopard cd is in my drive - will this cause problems?

the harddrive on my 2008 24" imac died, i purchased a new harddrive and my husband installed it with no problem. i had some misinformation that i would have to reinstall snow leopard and then i could upgrade to lion.
i turned on the computer put the snow leopard installation cd in the drive, then my computer opens to the pewter gray linen looking screen and i see that i can install lion from there. i used the disk utility and erased the new drive, and reformatted and then i went back to the install lion screen and lion is downloading with no problem, BUT that snow leopard cd is in my drive and i can't eject it. is it going to give me problems when the computer automatically reboots? will it try to reboot to that cd instead of continuing with the lion install? can i hold down my mouse to eject it when it reboots or will that mess up the installation?
confused, and i have an hour and 33 minutes to figure it out before it downloads. panicking here.
any help would be appreciated!

thank you for answering so quickly, i was really concerned that the computer would try to boot from that cd instead of continuing with the lion install. this was too easy, i'm used to windows installation which is complicated. i should have known apple would have made it simple for me. thanks again for the help!

Can someone advise me on how to create a feedback form in java??

hello
im learning to create a GUI and would like to create a feedback form like the one java website has below
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/forms/sendusmail.html
could someone advise me or provide any helpful link on how to do that?I just want to learn to do a simple feedback form(just a textbox and a submit button)
thank you
tomleo

That's a Swing tutorial. The idea is you learn Swing, and then use the things you learned about to create the application you want. There is nothing special about a feedback form, it just uses elements common to almost any GUI app.

10.6 Server, Deploy Studio for Macs, Fog for PCs

I've been banging my head on this problem for the last two days and am at the point that I'm going in circles. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
We have a mini server running 10.6.7. For a while now (8+ months) it has been our DHCP server and we have used deploy studio to deploy images to our Macs. So far, so good.
We decided to use deploy studio for PC deployment, and after some testing changed our minds and chose to switch our PC deployment to a fog server. This is where the trouble comes in.
I uninstalled deploy studio entirely, re-installed it without the PC components and re-configured it so it only responds to Macs. I also deleted all of its PC files.
When we try to network boot a PC, it appears they are STILL trying to connect to our mini server instead of the fog machine.
I've gone into the /etc/bootpd.plist and tried adding or modifying the following values in various configurations.
<key>dhcp_tftp_server_name</key>
<data>wKgBGQ==</data>
<key>dhcp_bootfile_name</key>
<string>pxelinux.0</string>
<key>dhcp_option_66</key>
<data>wKgBGQ==</data>
<key>dhcp_option_67</key>
<string>pxelinux.0</string>
wKgBGQ== is the encoded value of the fog server's IP address using "DHCP Option Code Utility". I also tried using it for the pxelinux.0 file option, with no change in the symptom or result.
As long as I use 1 of each of the options (i believe tftp_server_name is 66, and bootfile_name is 67), I can use IPNetMonitorX to query options 66 & 67 and I get the following:
Unrecognized DHCP option: 66 length: 4 value: 192.168.1.25
Unrecognized DHCP option: 67 length: 10 value: 7078656c 696e7578 2e30
If I put the 2nd line's value through a hex to ascii converter, I get pxelinux.0
No matter what, the PC's always give "TFTP Error - file not found".
Netboot and deploy studio still works for the Macs. I have no idea how to get the PCs to stop trying to connect to our mini server and look at the fog server instead.

I got a step further. I set option 128 (usually TFTP Server IP address) to the IP address of the fog server, and now 1 boot out of 5 or so, the PCs boot to the fog server.
It seems like the request is timing out too fast for some of the PCs, so now I'm trying to find that option.

HT1338 i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

I note this information from Wikipedia: "DVD Studio Pro was a high-end software tool published by Apple Inc. to allow users to create DVD masters to be sent out for replication at production houses. Its tight integration with other Apple applications allows users to take Final Cut Pro and Motion projects and render them into the DVD format without encoding to intermediary formats. This streamlines the production workflow and reduces overhead."
If that is your intent, finding a substitute program that will run on your Mac may not be as efficient. Others can advise you on alternatives, or you can post a new thread specifically with that question.
BTW: what Mac and what version of OS X?
If it is important to you to continue to use DVD Studio Pro, consider the option of installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels on your Mac:
