Deploy registry change - best method?
I have a 2012R2 domain with Win 7 clients. I'm trying to add a item here: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Exchange
What's the best way to deploy the key?
Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Scripts/Startup - regedit /s xyz.reg
or
Computer Configuration/Preferences/Windows Settings/Registry - registry item or registry wizard
If I deploy it using either of these methods and force group policy, I don't see it on the client's registry, even though gpresult shows it as being applied. I can't test it with the app yet, since we're preparing for a mail migration.
TIA
> shows that it should be applied, but I don't see a corresponding entry

Have a close look at "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software" - there you'll find
it... :)

Whats the best method to deploy sccm 2012 client
Hello what is the best method to deploy SCCM 2012 client, is there a script that should be used as sometimes the client push fails. In particular pushing the client to server 03 /08/12 types.
Thankyou
SCCM Deployment TechnicianUltimately, the best method is whatever works for you. Every environment is different and has unique constraints and requirements. You first need to learn out each of the methods and what they do to be able to properly evaluate which will work best for you.
Kind of like mining for gold, who cares how you got it out of the ground, once you get it out, you're rich :-) But if you rely on someone else telling you what the best way was for their mine, you may not be doing it the best way for your mine thus you need
to geological surveys, exploration, trial and error, etc. In other words, you need to do some real grunt work.
Often, using multiple methods is best though because each has its pros and cons (yes, even my startup script -- thanks for the cheerleading Michael and Tim). But as mentioned, it all comes down to you learning about your environment and the different
methods available to make the best choice. If there was only one "best" way to do it, there wouldn't be multiple available and none of us would really be needed.

Best method for BITS(Background Intelligent Transfer Service) deployment
Hi,
What is the best method for BITS(Background Intelligent Transfer Service) deployment for over 2000+ Windows 2008 servers at once? Also, does it matter on Windows 2008\2008 R2\2012 if the SCCM agent is installed before we deploy BITS to the servers?
Thanks,
EricHi,

What do you mean by Deploy BITS to the servers? The BITS client should already be installed on then as it is native to the OS.

The most recent update changed all font sizes (smaller). What is the best method to enlarge?
yeah, that's what I ended up doing late last night because the white font against pale gray background was driving me nuts. I hadnt changed anything. been using the same theme for about 4 months but then all of a sudden, like I said, the font color mysteriously changed.
anyway, thanks for your help. -
How can I change Output Method and Mailbox# programmatically (without GUI)?
We have several iR5075s and about 300 workplaces. For security reasons we only allow "Store" output method. So every user has access to some printers and for every printer they need to reconfigure printing preferences.
For convenience we'd like to do the following automatically (via Group Policy or scripts):
1) Change "Output Method" to "Store".
2) Set the correct mailbox number.
The problem is that the related settings seem to be stored in registry as a binary blob (HKCU\Printers\Connections\<printer name>\DevMode). I've been searching for a while but I couldn't find anything that would explain what's what in that blob.
Any clues?
Or maybe there's another way?
P.S. I'm familiar with scripting, regular expressions, etc. Acquiring the necessary parameters (such as mailbox#) is not a problem at all. I only need to know where and what I should change (in registry or elsewhere).
[Edit] Update: Actually it seems the settings are stored in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider\<user sid>\Printers\Connections\,,<server name>,<printer name>\RemotePrinterCache. It's also a binary blob though.
Eventually I'll reverse engineer it enough for my goals. I just don't understand why it must be so complicated...https://mega.co.nz/#!5QQWmaTI!cryW-pykueRNffdDYnj1OpxiHgG0mcAqLOh4Gmt2PJk
But I'm not sure how useful you'll find it. I wrote it as a temporary solution (we're now migrating to UniFlow) and it's anything but universal. At best, I guess, you'll be able to salvage some of my code while writing your own. -
HI all
I just wanted to ask the best way of performing a certain function during OSD deployment.
We are building a citrix XD75 farm using SCCM, migrating away from MDT,
In MDT we use a script to alter some registry variables for example:
REM Improve UI consistency - replace 'Microsoft San Serif' with 'Tahoma' ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes"
/v "MS Shell Dlg" /d Tahoma /t REG_SZ /f REM Remove Briefcase from New menu DELETE HKCR\Briefcase /f
Now in MDT this works perfect every time no issues
so what I have done is turn the script into a package and add it into the OSD Sequence, now the sequence runs with no issues, however on competition
when I check the registry for the values which should be altered nothing has changed,
I need to know why and how to fix this as its seems that not being able to deploy stuff via the ADMIN account is proving to be a show stopper for
us as the moment
Many thanks.
ChrisHI Torsten
so the script is a simple .cmd file which is how we do all of our registry changes in MDT, I know that SCCM using the System account to run the OSD which is why I believe we are having so many issues with the migration of our processes from MDT to SCCM.
ah would seem I am being a numpty have checked the WOW64NODE as the OS being Server 2012R2 and yes all the registry entries are there correctly :)
thank you for your assistance :)
is there a recommended approach to registry editing during OSD for SCCM2012R2 I want to make sure im doing in the correct supported MS way

Cannot change payment method on subscription and C...
I am posting the transcript for the 45 minute chat I just suffered through. I simply needed to change my credit card as the old card had been replaced due to a security breach. Others on forums have complained about this issue but this is a stellar example of Skype's poor business and customer service practices. You are now chatting with 'Laarni M'. Laarni M: Hello! Welcome to Skype Live Support! My name is Laarni. Laarni M: If incase we got disconnected, simply click on the Chat Support Link and you will be reconnected to us in no time. Laarni M: https://support.skype.com/support_selection. Laarni M: With that being said, how may I help you? [Removed for privacy]: I need to update my credit card information because the credit card I have on file is expired. The update payment page does not give me the option to enter a new credit card. I started to delete my old card so I could add a new one, but I got an error message saying I must cancel my subscription before removing my credit card. Laarni M: Oh! [Removed for privacy]: I have a subscription already. [Removed for privacy]: I have had it for years. Laarni M: I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with updating your credit card. Laarni M: I will be glad to help you with this. Laarni M: To start with, can I have your Skype name and your name so that I can address you properly? [Removed for privacy]: I have already entered that information to begin this chat. It is required. Laarni M: I understand. [Removed for privacy]: the Skype name is [Removed for privacy] and my first name is [Removed for privacy] Laarni M: I just need to verify it. Laarni M: Thank you, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Nice to meet you. Laarni M: Let me just pull up your account. Laarni M: Anyway how's your day so far? [Removed for privacy]: OK, I have found it. Apparently I am forced to buy Skype credit in order to change my payment to a new method? This is ridicuous. Laarni M: I am now pulling up your account, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thank you for waiting. Laarni M: Yes, that is correct. In order to change your payment method you need to either wait for your subscription to expire so you can purchase using the new card or you can buy Skype Credit. [Removed for privacy]: Now that I have bought 10.00 of skype credit and added the new payment information that way, it is appearing in my payment settings and I can delete the old card. But again, this is the only way to add a new payment method, which is very wrong. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: Oh, just lovely. I just tried to delete the old card and I have the same error message that "this card is being used to fund your Unlimited US and Canada 12 months. If you want to delete this card you have to cancel your subscription first." Is this some kind of nasty way of forcing me to lose my unlimited subscription? Laarni M: I see. Laarni M: Because the best way to add a new payment details is for you to let the subscription linked to the credit card expire first. Laarni M: After that, you can reactivate your subscrption using the new credit card. Laarni M: That is the best thing that I can recommend, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I went into change payment settings and changed the payment method to the new card. The page saved and said it had changed the setting. But then I went back in and it had not. It still defaults to the old card. I still get the "cancel subscription" message when I tried to delete the old card again. Laarni M: Yes, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I can't let it expire or it won't pay for my subscription in August. Anyway the card will not expire. It was replaced due to a security breach at the issuing bank. Laarni M: Because you really need to let your subscription expire first by cancelling it before you update your card. Laarni M: I see. [Removed for privacy]: Why would I want to do that when I probably won't be able to get the same plan? I have had that unlimited plan for years. [Removed for privacy]: I am certainly not cancelling that plan. Laarni M: I understand, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: This is really insane, you know. One should easily be able to update payment information when a card needs to be changed. [Removed for privacy]: I had this same problem last year, but there was a workaround. If you do not know what the current workaround is then please transfer me to a supervisor who does.l Laarni M: I understand, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I doubt that you do understand. Since the forums indicate this is an ongoing problem, I am forced to assume this situation is intentional and is a way of forcing people to give up older and less expensive plans, and that you are fully aware of that. Laarni M: I am sorry but as much as I want to help you, we can't do anything but to let the subscription expire first by cancelling it before you update the credit card. [Removed for privacy]: I need to speak to a supervisor, please. Laarni M: I am sorry but as of the moment, my supervisor is engaged to a different activity. [Removed for privacy]: I am sorry but that is not the case. That is just what you have been told to say. I can continue to open new chats and waste representative's time for hours, or you can arrange for me to communicate with a supervisor. Laarni M: I am sorry for the inconvenience caused you. info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!] at the end of your chat. Laarni M: I understand that it is really important for you ad upon further checking, we can try this step that may work for you. Laarni M: Do you have another browser aside from the one that you are using right now? [Removed for privacy]: Yes, I do Laarni M: Great! Laarni M: Internet Explorer would be the best. Laarni M: Can you please open it and go the link that I will provide to you? [Removed for privacy]: It is already open, please send the link Laarni M: Alright. [Removed for privacy]: I still do not have the link. Laarni M: Once you click on the link, and click Skype credit, please do not forget to click the change payment method when you buy Skype credit. [Removed for privacy]: I still do not have the link Laarni M: I am sorry for the delay, I am just having a system error as of the moment. Laarni M: But on your end, you can go to the page where you can buy Skype credit. Laarni M: By the way, there are 2 cards saved on your account. Laarni M: May I know the last 4 digit of the card that you want to use? [Removed for privacy]: 1591. And yes, I already explained to you that I bought Skype credit (which I do not need as I have a subscription!!) just to add the new credit card. Laarni M: I see. Laarni M: I can delete first the old credit card saved on our system. [Removed for privacy]: Please do that, but do NOT delete or cancel my subscription when you do this. Laarni M: Alright, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thank you for patiently waiting, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I hope that what you are doing is successful. Laarni M: Please hang on, [Removed for privacy] as we are still doing some workaround for this. Laarni M: We are also getting an error doing this. [Removed for privacy]: That is not confidence-inspiring. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way. [Removed for privacy]: I imagine that anyone would feel that way. Laarni M: Thank you for waiting, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Here's what we can do to help you now, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: We really need to cancel your subscription so it will cancel the recurring payment. Laarni M: This does not mean that the subscrition will be cancelled. Laarni M: You can still use your subscription until the end of the billing period. Laarni M: So once we cancel your subscription now, you can try to go to the payment settings and update your credit details. Laarni M: Is everything okay? Haven't heard from you in a while. [Removed for privacy]: I am sure that you realize this is unacceptable. I am very surprised that you would suggest this as a solution. As I stated above, I am well aware that this is a method Skype is using to force people to give up better subscriptions. I will not be forced to accept a suboptimal subscription by this method. I am also aware that a supervisor can correct this problem in the system by hand. Please put me in communication with a supervisor. Also--I have ALREADY updated my credit details as I explained above. You or a supervisor simply need to change the subscription payment method to the new card that is already on file. Laarni M: I understand where you are coming from, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: But I am trying to help you with giving the best solution for this. [Removed for privacy]: We are going in circles. I have been on this chat for 45 minutes trying to get a simple payment method change that with any other company, I could do by myself online in two minutes. You are not offering me any kind of solution at all. You are insulting my intelligence by claiming that the payment method cannot be replaced. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: Please stop this. The system is clearly set up to block a payment change. A supervisor can override this and that is what I expect you to arrange. Laarni M: But as of the moment, there is no available supervisor. [Removed for privacy]: Please do not tell me things that are not true. [Removed for privacy]: Please connect me with a supervisor. Laarni M: And If I will transfer you to my supervisor, he will give the same information that I provided to you. Laarni M: This is because it is the only workaround for this, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: You do not need to worry, cancelling your subscription is just cancelling the recurring payment or auto renewal. [Removed for privacy]: He may, but if he does, he will also be stating something that is not true. It is always possible for a supervisor or manager to make changes in the system. Laarni M: You can still use your subscription until the end of the billing period. [Removed for privacy]: I'm sorry, but in August when the billing period ends, I will receive notification that my subscription has cancelled due to non-payment and that I must choose a new plan. That is what I do not want. Therefore your solution is unacceptable. I have stated this clearly. Laarni M: I am sorry [Removed for privacy], I really want to help you but this is only the work around or soultion that we can do. [Removed for privacy]: Then apparently after 8 years, I will be searching for new phone service. I am very sorry that this is the case. Laarni M: If the auto renewal will cancel, you can still reactivate your subscrition and that time, the new payment method will be use for that subscription. [Removed for privacy]: Do I have your word that I will be allowed to keep the same plan with no changes to my subscription? Laarni M: Yes, [Removed for privacy]. You can still reactivate the same subscription. Laarni M: You do not need to wory about this. [Removed for privacy]: If that is not the case I will be cancelling. And Skype needs to change its payment method practices. This is very poor customer service. I will be going on every forum I can find and posting a poor review of the service. This is a shame since I have been a loyal Skype customer for more than 8 years. I was a customer when Skype was the only internet phone company in business. info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!] at the end of your chat. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thnak you for being loyal with Skype.
Well, it happened again. This time I'm done with Skype. A ten-year customer, and they've finally worn me down and worn me out. Yes, after 30 minutes of constant escalation, requesting a supervisor, and finally threatening to walk, they offered another annual contract at 6 cents more a year. But at the cost of making me sign up all over again, and after wasting my time both last year and this year. And I am DONE. I will use my remaining Skype credit for the few online teaching video conferences I have to do, but no more subscriptions. Bye, Skype. I would provide adjectives for how horrible your customer service is, but they would all be profane.

With that being said, how may I help you?
Customer: at 19:02:24
I chatted with an agent 2 days ago re: failure to apply my credit card to my subscription. He said it was taken care of and my online account should show the subscription renewed in 24 hours. it is still not renewed.
Gian C: at 19:02:41
I am sorry to know that
Gian C: at 19:02:47
What is your Skype name?
Customer: at 19:03:49
customer
Gian C: at 19:04:04
Thanks
Gian C: at 19:04:08
Let me check the account
Gian C: at 19:05:50
Thank you for patiently waiting
Gian C: at 19:06:07
Is this for the Unlimited Us and Canada?
Customer: at 19:06:13
yes
Gian C: at 19:07:12
I see
Gian C: at 19:07:23
Can you go to this site right now?
Customer: at 19:07:30
i'm there

https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling
Gian C: at 19:07:49
Look for Unlimites Us and Canada
Customer: at 19:07:58
why?
Gian C: at 19:08:21
Just want to make sure if repurchasing the subscription would be avaialble
Customer: at 19:08:36
I was told last year that it would be available. And two nights ago.
Gian C: at 19:08:36
That is the best work around to get the subscription back using the new card details
Gian C: at 19:08:45
I understand
Gian C: at 19:08:53
Can you please go and check it first
Customer: at 19:08:59
No, thank you. Please just apply my card. This is what happened last year.
Gian C: at 19:09:02
So I can assure the resolutiong
Customer: at 19:09:34
The subscription shows that it expires today. It is on my account. Simply renew it with the card information that is also on my account.
Gian C: at 19:09:40
Can you help me on this to solve your issue please?
Gian C: at 19:09:53
I understand
Customer: at 19:10:02
You have directed me to your sales site to search for the plan I already have all over again. I have no time for this.
Gian C: at 19:10:06
However the time you change the card did not worked on the system
Gian C: at 19:10:15
That is why the renewal did not push trough
Customer: at 19:10:41
It didn't work last year either because the system is a mess. But a rep fixed it last year. If you cannot do this please pass me to a supervisor.
Gian C: at 19:10:59
ok.
Gian C: at 19:11:19
Before we do that, can you please try to check if the subscription is available first.
Customer: at 19:11:40
I do not understand how you expect ME to check if a subscription is available!
Customer: at 19:12:04
The subscription is ON MY ACCOUNT AND SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE RENEWED.
Gian C: at 19:12:09
Basically it is simple
Gian C: at 19:12:10
Go to this website
Gian C: at 19:12:10
https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling
Gian C: at 19:12:10
Click on U.S.
Customer: at 19:12:16
Please pass me to a supervisor.
Gian C: at 19:12:20
Then check if US and Canada is part of the list
Gian C: at 19:12:39
Before I pass you to our supervisor
Gian C: at 19:12:47
Let me give you a heads up on your case
Customer: at 19:12:57
it is there for $2.99 per month. I have a locked in annual charge for that subscription for $29.99. Not $36.00.
Gian C: at 19:13:11
I see
Gian C: at 19:13:28
Thanks for the information
Gian C: at 19:13:38
When did you change your card detail? For this subscription?
Customer: at 19:15:08
Last year. At which time the system refused to remove the earlier invalid card and charge the 2nd (correct) one. This year the system allowed me to remove the old card. The rep 2 days ago told me the card was fine. When I looked at the detail this evening, the expiration date was missing, so I filled it in. The rep said NOTHING about this two days ago. Frankly I think Skype is trying to sabotage my re-order to try to force me off of my annual plan and onto a monthly. I will not do it.
Gian C: at 19:15:13
Thanks
Gian C: at 19:15:48
Just to make sure we will be solving this issue, can you please provide me your call back number
Customer: at 19:15:59
You do not need to call me.
Gian C: at 19:16:07
Just incase this chat got disconnected so our supervisor can call you
Customer: at 19:16:19
(###) ###-#### (REDACTED FOR PRIVACY)
Gian C: at 19:16:25
Let me get you our supervisor as you have requested
Gian C: at 19:16:29
Thank you
Customer: at 19:25:17
?hello
Gian C: at 19:27:42
I will get back to you once the Supervisor is ready to take this chat. For a moment
Gian C: at 19:27:50
Sorry to keep you waiting
Gian C: at 19:28:08
Our Supervisor is still engaged with the call
Gian C: at 19:28:10
Anyway
Gian C: at 19:28:20
Here is what we have found out on the subscription
Gian C: at 19:28:41
The renewal has passed already, so we can't renew it manually other than repurchasing the subscription
Gian C: at 19:28:54
Checking the price of the subscription
Customer: at 19:28:59
It has not passed yet. it expires 5/7. Today is 5/6.
Gian C: at 19:29:12
Let me give you a heads up
Gian C: at 19:29:39
Auto-renewal only happens once. And that is 3 days before the subscription expire
Customer: at 19:30:09
I give up. This is done. No subscription. Of any type. And I have been a Skype customer for over 10 years. Goodbye.
Gian C: at 19:30:23
I am sorry if you feel that way
Gian C: at 19:30:34
I am explaining to you all the things you need to know
Gian C: at 19:31:27
But you refused to listen nor cooperate. As much as I wanted you to get your subscription back. However it is within your call if you want to follow my advised to get this resolved quickly
Gian C: at 19:31:47
The new subscription prices is just 30.50USD for 1 year
Gian C: at 19:32:12
It is just few cents higer compare to the old price $29.99
Gian C: at 19:32:37
I hope that won't be a problem for you to get the 12 months subscription for the Unlimited US and Canada.
Customer: at 19:32:51
This is flatly ridiculous. The rep 2 days ago told me this was taken care of. Now you tell me it is not, keep me on chat for 30 minutes, make me look up subscription prices on your OWN website, and then tell me my subscription has expired when it has not. Yet I am the one being called uncooperative.
Gian C: at 19:33:02
If the auto renewal failed because of card used
Customer: at 19:33:05
That is a problem. I will not resubscribe. I don't care that it is only 6 cents a year more.
Gian C: at 19:33:21
Then Repurchasing the same subscription will be best to get it back
Customer: at 19:33:30
That is not why. If Skype did not have the information required I should have received an early email. I got SEVEN EMAILS IN ONE DAY INSTEAD.
Customer: at 19:33:42
The 7th one said the subscription was cancelled.
Gian C: at 19:34:05
That is the notification sent by Skype to tell you that we are still trying to accept the payment
Customer: at 19:34:30
It makes no sense to notify a customer every two hours on a SINGLE day, but not before.
Gian C: at 19:34:33
6 times the sytem try to renew the subscription
Customer: at 19:34:43
Yes. ON the same day. None on any other day.
Gian C: at 19:35:01
If only there is no problem with your card then the subscription should renew without a problem
Customer: at 19:35:10
You expect people who are at work to sign in from their work PC for personal business and renew within 8 hours. Ridiculous.
Gian C: at 19:35:08
Yes correct
Customer: at 19:35:12
I am done.
Gian C: at 19:35:10
As I said
Gian C: at 19:35:30
3 days before the subscription expire is the only day to renew the subscription automatically
Gian C: at 19:35:32
That is how the system works
Customer: at 19:35:34
As I said, the rep 2 days ago told me the card was fine but would take 24 hours for teh change to apply to the syste.
Gian C: at 19:35:37
It is part of the terms of use
Customer: at 19:35:43
Read what I said.
Gian C: at 19:36:01
Yes I already documented this case and I already escalated those previous representative
Gian C: at 19:36:08
For providing you false information
Customer: at 19:36:12
The terms of use don't say you bombard people with emails every 2 hours on a single day.
Customer: at 19:36:44
And then cut them off at the end of the day. When their subscription has not even expired yet. And then tell them it's their own fault their card didn't work. When they were told it was fine.
Gian C: at 19:36:50

Then why not send it once a day for six days instead?

that would make a lot more sense!

Best Method To Upgrade Database From 8.0.5.2.6 to 9.2.0.5
I have the following:
Oracle 8 (8.0.5.2.6) Database running on a machine with Windows NT
And I want to accomplish the following:
Upgrade database to Oracle 9i (9.2.0.5) on a new machine running Windows Server 2003.
I am looking for advice on the best method to accomplish this considering that I am changing three variables: 1)the database version, 2)the operating system, and 3)the physical location of the database.
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can provide.
JasonIt depends upon how you want to do the export and import. Whether a full database export or just the schema containing the data, etc. based on that you will have to create the 10g database and perform the import. Below are some relevant documents:

What is the best method for backing up photos in IPhoto?
I have over 10,000 photos in IPhoto and am looking for the best method for doing a backup (or an archive?). I'm now using ICloud and it appears it's just photo streaming and does not have storage capability. External hard drive, copying to a DVD, other suggestions?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
My Routine
My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore. -
Problems deploying application with updated method signatures on WLS8.1
Hi,
I have an jar file under applications which I have deployed fine on WLS 8.1 in the past. I changed the method signature on one of the EJB classes in the jar. One of the parameters now takes a different Java class type. I have recompiled everyone and repackaged the jar but when I try to deploy the jar it gives me an error because the the local interface of the EJB does not have the old Java class parameter type.
I have checked the jar, classes in the jar, and the ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml in the jar and it is looks fine. I have cleaned out my server deployment directories and verified the classpath in case the older jar was in there and everything looks OK. It seems for some reason 8.1 is caching the old ejb-jar.xml or somehow is remembering the old method signature and will not process the updated jar. Has anyone seen anything like this?
Thanks for any help or recommendationsCan you show me the error you receive?
Another simple test would be to deploy your application to a new, empty
server.
You can create a new domain as easy as this:
mkdir testDomain;
cd testDomain;
java weblogic.Server
Type in the username/password that you want and answer 'Yes' when it
asks if you want to create a new domain.
Try deploying your jar to this new domain, and let me know if it still
fails.

Value change listener method on h:selectBooleanCheckbox in h:dataTable
Hello,
Does JSF handle value change listeners as expected when they are attached to h:selectBooleanCheckbox components within an h:dataTable?
In the following example, I have a JSP that has some h:selectBooleanCheckbox components nested in an h:dataTable, and some that aren't. When I bulid and deploy the example to Tomcat 5.5, I can see (using the log4j output) that the value change listener methods for the checkboxes that are NOT in the dataTable are fired, but the ones that are in the dataTable do not get fired.
I am using Sun's RI of JSF, version 1.1.0.1.
Thanks,
Scott

What is the best method to store session variables
As the title says, what is the best method to store session
variables in a Production environment?
I have been reading the posts on sessions and have been
getting different ideas on where to store session variables, in a
db, registery, cookies etc etc
Can someone clarify possible best practice on this matter?
MatrixFrom my experience, db is the best to store client variable
data. Registry will cause you trouble in future (when data gets
overloaded) and cookies will not serve the purpose for a few % of
your users. -
What is the best method for moving iTune Libraries from Old to New Computer
Hello,
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.
My Sony Vaio Desktop recently died and untimely death, so I just purchased an HP Notebook. I was trying to wait out the release of the possible update of the Macbook line. However the old computer didn't agree. This HP will tie me over till a new release.
I've been doing weekly backups for over 3 years with a backup drive from Western Digital. At this point I just want to transfer my music in iTunes and applications from the App store that are loaded on to my iPod Touch into the new computer and then reauthorize and sync.
My question is what's the best method. Oh another problem I'm having includes the latest iPhone & iPod Touch software problem of 3rd party apps not working along with the vanishing of my music on the Touch.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.Open up a fresh copy of iTunes. Point iTunes in the direction of your Western Digital Harddrive. Import Folders.
1. New Copy
2. Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Change -> <the address of the iTunes library on WD>
3. File -> Add Folder to Library -> <Select iTunes folder on WD>
Always keep a backup of your iTunes Library file and the iTunes XML Document. If you have those, then it might be just as simple as copying those to your iTunes file folder. If you are not sure where they are, then do a search for iTunes.xml. -
Change valuation method from moving average to FIFO
We have incorrectly given valuation method for our raw materials to moving average instead of FIFO. Now, we have a lot of transactions and cannot change the method after a transaction is done for any item. I want to know if this solution will work:
1. create new database with item and business master data, chart of accounts, item groups as before
2. change valuation method of all items
3. Import GRPO, Excise and A/P invoices from old database
Does step 3 create its own JEs?? If it does, then my problem will be solved.Hi Krishna,

Best method for 8 channel analog control on a microsecond scale
Thanks for the quick reply, it was most helpful.
Now that I am restricted to the analog channels I was just wondering as to the best method of control.
At present I am using the AO Generate waveforms VI, by feeding it a pre-built arrays of data for each of the channels. I found this gave 30us resolution (on the maximum 32767 updates/sec) between values. It doesn't seem as though this is utilising the onboard timer on the card however, rather simply ouputting the signals as quick as possible.
I tried using one of the counting time or events VIs which utilised the onboard timers, however I had it in a case structure to trigger at certain times which was highly limited by software (as i presumed).
Basically I was wondering how I can take advantage of the onboard timers to simply trigger voltage changes on channels on a microsecond timescale, I'm sure there is a simple way that is passing me by.
Any help would be appreciated
AndyBTake a look at the "Function Generator" example under the AO section of the hardware I/O.
While take a look at the examples that might also intrest you.
Just aply the same array you are using now to set up the I/O.
