Default Logon server

Hi Guys,
I have just deployed the first AD controller in a remote branch, before this, all branches authenticated to the AD controllers in our HO via our MPLS network. I wanted to take the need for remote branches to authenticate via the MPLS network to the HO for
all logon and authoritive events by installing an AD controller. I have installed the new AD controller, setup as an AD (with Global Cat), DHCP and DNS. When I logon to a to a pc in that office it still shows my default logon server as the PDC in our HO. How
do i go about forcing the Branch AD controller as the Default logon server for that branch (this branch does have a seperate ip range)? I want it to work this way as if their line drops, they cannot access their shares and network services that are located
on the local network.
Thanks
Shaun

Shaun,
You need to define sites and subnets in your Domain. Be aware that Clients try to locate the nearest DC for the purpose of authentication.
Below is the link which explains DC locator process in Detail.

By defining sites and services you will force remote client systems to authenticate against the local DC, which will save your
Network bandwidth ETC.

How to set default logon domain RD Gateway and/or RD Web

I'm using Win2k8 R2 servers with WinXP clients. When I logon to the RD Web page, and again to RD Gateway, I -have- to enter domain\username to authenticate. Anyone know how I can set the default logon domain? My users don't even know how to spell their username most of the time, let alone what domain they're in, and I only have one domain.
Thanks
Mark

Hello Mark,
Thanks for your feedback.
Based on your reply, I understand that you want to add a default domain name into Remote Desktop Web Access page, which helps the clients to know the domain their accounts are in.
You can finish this task by customizing the default login page shipped with Remote Desktop Web Access services role. However, we don’t recommend you to do that in general, because:
·          The customization of the system-shipped page may cause unexpected risk or instability.
·          The future updates or service packs for related products may overwrite the modified version you customized.
Based on the factors above, if you really need to do this customization, please note to backup both the original version and modified version of the login page, during the following customization steps:
1.     Login to the Remote Desktop Web Access role-based server with local administrative permissions.
2.     Navigate to the following location:
%windir%\Web\RDWeb\Pages\<The Language of Your Location>\
3.     Backup the login.aspx file to another location.
4.     Right click the login.aspx file, and select Edit. The file will be opened with Edit status in your default HTML editor.
5.     Change the original code section:
<input id=”DomainUserName” name=”DomainUserName” type=”text” class=”textInputField” runat=”server” size=”25” autocomplete=”off” />
to be:
<input id=”DomainUserName” name=”DomainUserName” type=”text” class=”textInputField” runat=”server” size=”25” autocomplete=”off” value=”domainname\” />
6.     Save the modification. Backup the modified version.
Please test the issue again after the steps above. Let us know the result if possible. Thanks for your cooperation again.

Supress default logon box after invalid logon via SSO

Hi,
We are using SSO to authenticate to the database. If the SSO authenication fails, Oracle Forms automatically brings up the default logon box. For example -
A user registers and their userid and password are stored in the OID. The user's password is then reset by a DBA. The next time the user tries to access the application, the credentials stored in the OID are incorrect. The on-error trigger in the form fires and brings up an error message. Then the default logon box pops up. I would like to just display a message and then exit the form. I do not want the user to have the option to enter a userid and password. I have tried putting an exit_form in the on-error trigger, but it says that exit_form is a restricted procedure. No other triggers fire before the default logon box pops up.
Does anyone know how I can supress the default logon box?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Caíque,
Yes, we allowed pop-ups and cokies in the browser and disabled the firewall.

Thunderbird will not send email through default, outgoing server.

I have two outgoing email servers: Optomum (NY) and TWC (North Carolina). In North Carolina TWC worked perfect. Now I am in NY and changed the default setting for the outgoing server to Optomum. This is the error message I get, “Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mail.twc.com timed out. Try again…” At first I thought that a change to the default outgoing server would not take effect until Thunderbird was shut down and restarted. That was not the case. Then I thought to reboot computer. Still NG. Although Optimum is set as default, Thunderbird still wants to send through TWC. Need fix.

I think you mis understand the default. It is usaed when the one assigned to the account can not be determined.
Tools menu (alt+T) account settings > select the account name and change to the appropriate SMTP server in the drop down list.

How to change the default mail server??? Please help.

I need to change the default mail server to my yahoo account. When I had my PC this was easy but I cannot figgure it out on the MAC. I am in China and I need to inform my insurance company of some information or they are going to cancel a policy. When I go to their site for email contact what pops up is the apple email, which I do not have an account for and ofcourse does not work. Their email address does not show and I cannot find it anywhere so I need to change the default to my yahoo account. On my PC this was easy and when I went to a site that had a contact but no email address, my yahoo account would come up. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I really need to do this fast as the letter I got took some time to get here and I just returned from some field work so I have about 2 or 3 days to get the information to them. Thank you.

John,
This does not demonstrate anything for me, since it brings up a Compose window for Mail, with my preferred account as the From address. This happens whether I access with Safari, or with Firefox.
The point that I am trying to make, is that in OSX, there is no way to have web mail access become the default mail method -- it only works with a true mail client, for POP, IMAP or .mac access on your Desktop.
If you have the type of yahoo account that can be setup for POP access with Mail, then when you click, you can choose your yahoo address as the From address to send from.
Of course you can insert the address in a new message with your Yahoo web mail, but I have understood you to want to have the message start containing the info from one of the pages on the site?
See the discussion at the following link, for setting up a Yahoo account in Mail:

Remote Desktop Connection Server 2012 Clients only using on DC as Logon Server.

I am using Server 2012 and have an RDC Server running on a VM. Originally I had ordered the licensed version as Essentials was provided to me which does not allow for a full domain environment, which is required for the RDC server. Anyway, I
used Eval versions to get started, not thinking or realizing that the DC would never be able to get Activated since it is an Eval. So after 4 days I have finally, loaded Server 2012 on a new VM, promoted to DC, Transferred FSMO roles...DNS is up and
replicating across both DC's. The Eval keeps shutting off and was going to demote it and remove, but whenever it is shutdown the Clients receive a "No Logon Servers are available " error. I start up the old DC and it works. I doublechecked
all of the roles have been moved, I checked the RDC gateway, everything points to the same Domain information, but when I check an account using 'CMD set' it shows the old DC as the Logon Server. Is there something I am missing in the RD Gateway or somewhere
else. Is there a way to force it to use the new DC? I have tried setting the options in remote desktop connection to use a particular TS Gateway setting and it doesnt seem to work. Can someone please help me think about this and offer a
suggestion or let me know if you need more info. I can figure nothing else out at this point.
Thanks so much in Advance.
-T

it sounds like your clients / rdc servers may still be pointing to the old DC for DNS.
Can you check you have updated DNS on the clients to talk to your new domain controller.

Denis Cooper

Help keep the forums tidy, if this has helped please mark it as an answer
The new DC is the only DNS server listed on the RDC Server and is the only DNS listed for the clients other than the gateway which have as a secondary. If I change the static on the old DC I cannot login, as soon as I put it back, I can login and it
shows that DC as the logon server.
I did a simple recursive test on both DNS servers....The new Domain Controller passes, the Old One which I am trying to remove, does not.
I will reply with any other updates as I continue to look into this and thanks for the suggestions.
So I also Pinged the domain from the RDC Server as suggested and it replies back with the old DC IP.
Not sure why.

Change default logon/startup/lock screen in windows 8 pro

Hi,
I want to change my default logon screen, the one that appears when I boot. I have changed the lock screen within my account, but I can't change the one (that I beleive is) for the default user. I have seen some complicated steps to copy over a file
in systemdata folder for the default user profile, but It seems really awful to do it in my notebook (which is not joined to a domain, and it is Windows 8 Pro). So, is there a simple way to do it? Why my personalized lock screen isn't shown?
Regards,
MarianoC.

Thanks MarianoC, you got me closer to solving my lock screen problem. Sorry about your lock screen presets issue, glad that is not an issue for me, as I see you have given up. I wanted to post my more detailed solution description
here, since this was one of the fist places I landed while researching this.
I fixed mine by replacing the default Lock Screen image files.
You can find them here C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-18\ReadOnly
Caution---You have to have hidden files visible, and you also have to understand how to take ownership of folders and assign ownership and permissions (it's not that difficult, search if
you don't know how).
I had 2 folders in that location W and Z;
The W folder already had my selected Lock Screen picture.
The W folder may have been the result of a previous tweak I tried, it had the newer photo I had selected already, if your W doesn’t have your photo and you have issues maybe replace it too.
If you don’t have a W folder I wouldn’t sweat it for now.
I had my luck with the Z folder, it contained the default space needle picture in 2 versions; dimmed and plain (I didn't look for a visual difference).
I replaced both of them with my chosen lock screen picture.
There are 2 ways to do this;
1st is to rename your original file (add a 1 to the name, you can go back to original easier this way). Replace it with picture of your choosing with the exact same name as original.
You must assign full permission to the system account.
Warning. This method seems safer but I could not figure out how to assign permission to the trusted installer account, which existed previously for this file, this could inhibit some future compatibility.
2nd way preserves system and trusted installer permissions.
Create your lock screen pictures in a separate folder, with exactly the same names as your 2 original files.
Copy/Paste the files into the Z folder, you will get asked to replace existing.
If you say yes it should preserve security settings but update the photo.

Data modeler cannot connect to non-default sql server instance

I've just started using DM, it installed and loaded fine, I got the jdbc drivers v2.0 from MS so that I can reverse engineer a couple of SQL-Server 2005 DB's.
All worked just fine until I tried to connect to a machine with a named-sql-server instance.
Normal way of doing this for sql-server is to add instance name to end of hostname in the hostname field, like this: "server10\inst01"
but this gives me a cannot-connect-to-server10 error.
I copied database over to a different server that has just a default sql-server instance and it worked fine. (both sql-server2005 and 2000!)
I also tried the older 1.2 jdbc driver from MS against the sql-server 2005 named instance, no luck!
I tried putting the instance name in front of the port number, that didn't work either.
Am I just doing something wrong? or does DM need a special way of specifying the instance name on the sql-server host?

Hello,
you don't need instance name in order to connect. It's only host and port - probably named instance is not listening on default port. It'll be unfortunate if dynamic port assignment is used - but probably that won't be the case.
I hope someone can tell you the port number.

Changing the default deployment server.

Hi.
Is it possible to change the default deployment server in studio Creator? I�m developing some portlets, and on my computer it takes 3 minutes to deploy a new portlet to my local host, but only a few second to deploy it to a remote server.

Hi,
I guess, right now only way is to deploy to remote server( sun appserver and sun webserver) or export the WAR and deploy to any other web/app server

How do I changing the default WIKI Server name on OS x Lion Server?

How do I changing the default WIKI Server name on OS x Lion Server? Enterprise solutions suggested I post this question here to get a direct answer. I have searched everywhere... This would be the META TAG On the top of browsers...

I went looking for this answer, to no avail.
Solution I used:
step 1 - Navigate to the folder /usr/share/collabd/coreclient/locales/en.lproj/ and open the only file there called default.strings.
step 2 - somewhere around lines 74 & 164 you will see the default title "OS X Lion Server". I'm sure only one of the is required to be changed to adjust the title on the window, but I changed both to my desired title. Save and close. If asked for authentication, enter you administrator details.
step 3 - restart the server (or wiki service may work too)
step 4 - done and your Wiki welcome page should show the new title
Finally I have a bookmark that means something by default.
Hope this helps

Make Default - Content Server

Hi Gurus,
We have a situation where we have multiple content servers in use in DMS. Currently when you check in a Document you have to select which Content Server you want to check the document into. Considering one of these severs is in Chile and one is in Finland it makes sense to default this server for the user groups based on their geographical location.
I have been trying to work this little piece of config out but I can not make it work as I do not know what I should be configuring in this case.
Please Let me know
Thanks and regards
Palaniappan

Hi All
I have found the required configuratiion and the issue is resolved

Admin Console default logon

I have downloaded and installed version 2 update 1 and have no problem exploring the sample databases.
When trying to follow a tutorial on creating my own database I cannot log onto the Admin Console. I was not asked to create one during the installation, nor have I been able to find in any of the documentation.
Is there a default logon for the console? If so what is it?

Try with user "admin", password "adminadmin".
Best regards
Antonio.

How i can change default Deployment server in Creator 2 ea 2.

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I want to change Creator 2 ea 2 , deployment server
I used to use centeralized deployment server . and i want to change Creator server , and set it to that server.
How i can do this ?

Here is what worked for me.
changing the default application server.
1) Verify that JSC2 is creating a WAR file in the project's dist directory.
2) Download the Sun Java System Application Server 8.1
3) Install the application server on another computer. E.g. 192.168.1.110
I changed the default port from 8080 to 80 because I wanted to port forward.
Don't know if this is required.
4) Start the server! Browse to 192.168.1.110:80 and verify the server started.
5) Run the admin console (192.168.1.110:4848) and manually deploy the WAR file
If you can't do this, it wont go.
Your browser might appear to get stuck. Wait for it to finish! Check your logs for errors.
If you get stuck, doublecheck that the server directory isn't write-protected.
Test with a browser 192.168.1.110:80/ProjectName
6) Tell JSC2 about the new server
Servers Tab -> Remote Servers -> rightclick -> Add Remote Server...
Select the right kind of server (Sun Java System Application Server 8.1)
Admin Host: 192.168.1.110
Admin Port: 4848
Username: admin or whatever
Password: shhhhh!
7) Configure JSC2 to deploy the project to a different server during testing.
Projects Tab -> Right-click the project -> Properties -> Run -> select the new server.
8) Click the little green triangle and it should deploy and start a browser to test.
Trouble-shooting:
- Problems will occur if you attempt to do things to fast. Don't cancel out of operations.
- Don't modify any of you build.xml files
- Don't compress the war file
- Restart everything if you hit a problem
- Don't ask me, I don't know anything about it. I just fiddled with it till it worked.
- Turn off Netlimiter! (or any other bandwidth manager)
- Turn off Antivirus monitoring software (stuff runs faster - security rish though)
