Current best practice for Time service settings for Hyper-V 2012 R2 Host and guest OS's

I am trying to find out what the current best practice is for Time service settings in a Hyper-V 2012 environment. I find conflicting information. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have found some different sources (links below) but again the
are not consistent. Thanks

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12709.time-services-for-a-domain-controller-on-hyper-v.aspx

From the first link provided by Brian, it does state that the time service should be off, but then the update changes that statement.  Still best to rely on the first link in the OP - it was written by the guy that has been responsible for much of what
gets coded into Hyper-V, starting from before there ever was a Hyper-V.  I'd say that's a pretty reliable source. 
Time service
For virtual machines that are configured as domain controllers, it is recommended that you disable time synchronization between the host system and guest operating system acting as a domain controller. This enables your guest domain controller to synchronize
time from the domain hierarchy.
To disable the Hyper-V time synchronization provider, shut down the VM and clear the Time synchronization check box under Integration Services.
Note
This guidance has been recently updated to reflect the current recommendation to synchronize time for the guest domain controller from only the domain hierarchy, rather than the previous recommendation to partially disable time synchronization between the
host system and guest domain controller.

    What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

    It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
    Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
    ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

  • Best practices when making service requests

    Best practices when making service requests
    We've been working on moving our old services that were built with an different service request tool into RequestCenter and were wondering if anyone had any thoughts about best standards or practices for the new forms that they would be willing to share.  For example, one such standard might be that the customer - initiator information will always be displayed at the top of the request.
    Are there any other standardizations you could share that help lend consistency and provide improved readability for request forms?  Maybe someone has a design framework guide they would be willing to share?
    Thanks!
    Tim

    Thanks for the comments and the book suggestion.
    We've been placing the customer information at the top because wanted the customer to review the information before subbmitng the form.  Our LDAP data is somewhat spotty and we want to make sure we have the right information when the form is submitted but I can see the advantages to placing it at the bottom as well.  I'll have to think that over more.
    Does anyone find tha certain fields work better than others?  For example, we've not had much

  • Best Practices for Using Service Controller for Entity Framework Database

    I'm running into an issue in my first time creating a Web Service with a .NET backend with Azure. I designed a database in Entity Framework and had it create the models, but I couldn't create a controller for the table unless I made the model inherit from
    EntityData. Here's the catch, the Database Model has int Id, but EntityData has string Id, so, of course, I'm getting errors. What is best practice for what I'm trying to do?
    Michael DiLeo

    hi Michael,
    Thanks for you posting!
    Sorry for I am not totally understanding your issue. Maybe two points need your confirm:
    1. I confuse with the "Service controller"? IS your meaning MVC controller? Or ServiceController(http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/31688/Using-the-ServiceController-in-C-to-stop-and-start
    2.whether  The type of ID in the model is match to the database ? In other words, Is the type of IDin .edmx matched to the database?
    By the way, it seems that this issue is more related to EF. You could post this issue on EF discussion for better support.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • What is current best practice for backing up a hard disc?

    With the availability of various cloud applications, I would like to know if backing up an hard disc is now best done to the cloud?  For example, should you buy space in Amazon.com, or somewhere else on the Internet,  and then backup your hard disc to that space? Could you backup an entire harddisc to iCloud?  Your knowledge and experience is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    iCloud doesn't provide storage except for pictures
    and your music, and only under limited circumstances.
    Merchant online backup services such as Carbonite
    and others exist for this reason. And you can sync
    your files with/to Dropbox. Many users keep a local
    copy of their files on  Time Machine or other hard
    drives in addition to remote backups (in case of a
    fire or other event compromising the local solution).
    Backup software or cloning programs are useful in
    all the above. You have to work at backup a bit -
    it's like insurance, a bit of expense now to save a
    lot of heartache later.Good to see you're determined
    to forestall potential disaster - too many lack it.
    Good luck, Tom

  • [XI 3.1] BEST PRACTICE method of Oracle connection for RPTs on Linux

    Business Objects XI (3.1) - SP3.
    Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS.
    7,000+ Crystal Reports 2008 *.rpt objects ONLY (No Universe / No WebI).
    All reports connecting to Oracle 10g databases.
    ==================
    In the past, all of this infrastructure was running on Windows Server OS and providing the database access via a Named ODBC connection (eg. "APP_DATA".)
    This made it easy to manage as all the Report Developers had a standard System DSN called "APP_DATA" which was the same as the System DSN name on all of our DEV, TEST/UAT, and PROD servers for Business Objects.
    When we wanted to move/promote a *.rpt file from DEV to PROD we did not have to change any "Database Connection" info as it was all taken care of by pointing the System DSN called "APP_DATA" a a different physical Oracle server at the ODBC level.
    Now, that hardware is moving from Windows OS to Red Hat Linux and we are trying to determine the Best Practices (and Pros/Cons) of using one of the three methods below to access the Oracle database for our *.rpts....
    1.) Oracle Native connection
    2.) ODBC connection
    3.) JDBC connection
    Here's what we have determined so far -
    1a.) Oracle Native connection should be the most efficient method of passing SQL-query to the DB with the fewest issues and best speed [PRO]
    1b.) Oracle Native connection may not be supported on Linux - http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=118770&view=previous&sid=9cca754b468fc67888ab2553c0fbe448 [CON]
    1c.) Using Oracle Native would require special-handling on the *.rpts at either the source-file or the CMC level to change them from DEV -> TEST -> PROD connection. This would result in a lot more Developer / Admin overhead than they are currently used to. [CON]
    2a.) A 3rd-Party Linux ODBC option may be available from EasySoft - http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc_oracle_driver/index.html - which would allow us to use a similar Developer / Admin overhead to what we are used to. [PRO]
    2b.) Adding a 3rd-Party Vendor into the mix may lead to support issues is we have problems with results or speeds of our queries. [CON]
    3a.) JDBC appears to be the "defacto standard" when running Oracle SQL queries from Linux. [PRO]
    3b.) There may be issues with results or speeds of our queries when using JDBC. [CON]
    3c.) Using JDBC requires the explicit-IP of the Oracle server to be defined for each connection. This would require special-handling on the *.rpts at either the source-file (and NOT the CMC level) to change them from DEV -> TEST -> PROD connection. This would result in a lot more Developer / Admin overhead than they are currently used to. [CON]
    ==================
    We would appreciate some advice from anyone who has been down this road before.
    What were your Best Practices?
    What can you add to the Pros and Cons listed above?
    How do we find the "sweet spot" between quality/performance/speed of reports and easy-overhead for the Admins and Developers?
    As always, thanks in advance for your comments.

    Hi,
    I just saw this article and I would like to add some infos.
    First you can quite easely reproduce the same way of working with the odbc entries by playing with the oracle name resolution on the server. By changing some files (sqlnet, tnsnames.ora,..) you can define a different oracle server for a specific name that will be the same accross all environments.
    Database name will be resolved differently regarding to the environment and therefore will access a different database.
    Second option is the possibility to change the connection in .rpt files by an automated way like the schedule manager. This tool is a additional web application to deploy that can change the connection settings of rpt reports on thousands of reports in a few clicks. you can find it here :
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80af7965-8bdf-2b10-fa94-bb21833f3db8
    The last option is to do it with a small sdk script, for this purpose, a few lines of codes can change all the reports in a row.
    After some implementations on linux to oracle database I would prefer also the native connection. ODBC and JDBC are deprecated ways to connect to database. You can use DATADIRECT connectors that are quite good but for volumes you will see the difference.

  • OBIEE Best Practice Data Model/Repository Design for Objectives/Targets

    Hello World!
    We are faced with a design question that has become somewhat difficult and we need some help. We want to be able to compare side-by-side actual measures with their corresponding objectives/targets. Sounds simple. But, our objectives are static (not able to be aggregated) with multi-dimensionality and multi-levels. We need some best practice tips on how to design our data model and repository properly so that we can see the objective/target for a measure regardless of the dimensions that are used in the criteria and regardless of the level.
    Here is some more details:
    Example of existing objective table.

    - Right now we have quarterly objectives set using 3 different dimensions. So, if an author were to add one or more (or zero) dimensions to their criteria for a given measure they could get back a different objective. They could add Dimension1 and get 99%. They could add Dimension1 and Dimension2 and get 98%. They could add all three dimensions and get 97%. They could add zero dimensions (highest grain) and get 99%. Using our existing structure if we were to add a new dimension to the mix the possible combinations would grow dramatically. (Not flexible)
    - We would like our final solution to be flexible enough so that we could view objectives with altogether different dimensions and possibly get different objectives.
    - We currently have 3 fact tables with 3+ conformed dimension tables and a few unique dimension tables.
    Could anyone share a similar situation where you have implemented a data model structure with the proper repository joins to handle showing side-by-side objectives/targets where the objectives were static and could be displayed at differing levels with flexible dimensions as described?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hi..yes this suggestion is nice...first configure the sensors(activity or variable) ..then configure the sensor action as a JMS Topic which will in turn insert the data into a DB..Or when u configure the sensor action as a DB..then the data goes to Oracle Reports schema..if there is any chance of altering the DB..i mean if there is any chance by changing config files so that the data doesnt go to that Reports schema and goes to a custom schema created by any User....i dont know if it can b done...my problem is wen i m configuring the jms Topic for sensor actions..i see blank data coming..for sm reason or the other the data is not getting posted ...i have used a esb ..a routing service based on the schema which i am monitoring...can any1 help?

  • Best Practice: A J2EE Blue-Print for a Typical Web App

    Consider a typical synchronous Struts-based Web application which does a simple DB search and post. What are some of the main patterns and components that should be used if following the �industry best practices�
    Does the following flow seem accurate?
    Strust Action creates a TransferObject , and passes it to a Business Delegate. Delegate finds the appropriate BusinessObject, the Business Object uses the Data Access Object�.the CRUD operation happens and the result is sent back to the Action in the same TransferObject.
    Which one of these components need an interface?
    What's the best way for this components to interact with each other (factory, etc.)?

    There are 3 tiers in a Java EE application. (Presentation, Business, Integration).
    The BusinessDelegate in this scenario would be a Presentation-tier business delegate. This guy would interact with a Session Facade who lives on the Business-tier. The SessionFacade is the abstraction on the Business-tier and the Business Delegate is the abstraction on the Presentation-tier. It is these guys that have direct communication. This design enables low coupling between the actual implementations of each area. If done properly, you could go from EJB to Web Service to POJO business models without ever having to change anything in the Presentation-tier.
    These object-oriented design patterns are primarily for Enterprise applications with extensive Quality-of-Service requirements.
    In your scenario, the Presentation-tier would contain a MVC-based web application, i.e. Struts. The business model and business/domain requirements would be implemented in the Business-tier.
    Presentation Tier - Struts Web Application
    Business Tier - (EJB | POJO | WEB SERVICES) Application
    Integration Tier - (Relational Database | File System | XML Database | EIS)

  • Best practice DNS in VPN environment for Lync2013 clients

    So I do have those site2site VPNs to connect the small branch offices to the main office. Internal DNS makes sure, that the branch offices can acess all the servers/services in the main office with their domain.local namespace.
    In such a scenario will the Lync2013 clients connect through the VPN to the internal sites due to both lyncdiscover and lyncdiscoverinternal being available?
    Wouldn't it cause way less burden on the VPN routers if clients would simply go out to the internet and connect from the external side so all the Lync traffic does not have to be stuffed through the VPN pipe? I dont see the point to encrypt the traffice
    once more.
    Thanks for your suggestions about best practices!
    HST

      Hi,
    When users connect to the corporate network using a VPN client, Lync media traffic is sent through the VPN tunnel. This configuration can create additional latency and jitter because media traffic must pass through an additional layer of encryption and
    decryption. The issue is compounded when the VPN concentrator is busy.
    If you want to connect Lync server from public network you need to deploy an Edge server.
    The solution to force VPN traffic through the Edge Servers must allow external Lync clients connected through VPN, you can refer to the part of "Solution Configuration" in the link below:

    I have set up the modem prior with settings from my new and current supplier (Dodo) and the speedstream works fine as a standard ADSL modem. I then reset the modem to full bridge mode, so that I can relocate the ADSL settings to the Time Capsule to act as the modem/router. it's this step Im having trouble with.

    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
