Deploying 1131s and 3502s - Pre-configured APs

We pre-configure our APs with IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and controller IP address. Our APs are on separate subnets by themselves. All of the 1131's found the controller and came up. None of the 3502s found the controller. We then had to use the ip helper-address command and the ip forward-protocol command on the router for the 3502s - that worked. Why don't the 3502s come up like the 1131s without the router commands?

When you configured the controller ip address on the ap, did you also included the controller name? I usually configure the ip address of the controllers in the dhcp option 43 or as a dns name so lost aps will come up. When statically assigning an ap, you should set the ip address AND the controller name under capwap not lwap.

I downloaded and installed TB and it pre-configured my wife's mailbox instead of setting up a new one for me. Whats up with that?

I downloaded and installed TB and it pre-configured my wife's mailbox instead of setting up a new one for me.
The first time I ran it, there was her mailbox and all the msg's. I didn't input anything for a server, login or password. IOt just came up configured for her mailbox! Did it do that from the IP address or what?

I would guess that Thunderbird has been installed previously and it has simply rediscovered an old profile folder.

CS4 Suite (all Windows versions) - documentation of XML and pre-configuration of components?

With a view to packaging and deploying CS4 in Microsoft enterprise environments (ie GPO restricted desktops, mandatory user profiles, non-administrative user base, at or near minimum spec hardware) I was wondering if anyone was aware of any documentation, official or otherwise, for pre-configuration or omission of individual components within the CS4 suite in order to more specifically tailor their operation to user requirements. Eg, such as the way Adobe provide a transform generator/editor for Acrobat in its standalone form.
The instructions for performing silent installs with or without the more major components (such as Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc) work fine, and the Adobe CS4 Deployment Toolkit (aka AdobeUberInstaller) deals with a number of omissions in the base installer such ELUA and updates suppression. However there are various options within the applications themselves I would like to change the defaults for at install time (eg suppress Adobe Bridge from prompting to run at startup, address Acrobat's refusal to run until another element of the suite has been run first etc), patches I would like to slipstream rather than apply retrospectively (currently Air, Indesign, Photoshop), and some elements (such as foreign language components and 64bit support) I would ideally like to omit from the source package altogether to keep the size down - 6GB+ to 500 clients is quite an ordeal!
Web resources such as application deployment forums have allowed me to address some of the above, but I would be very interested in the feedback/experiences of this community. I appreciate what I'm asking is somewhat vague but any crumbs of wisdom all add up...
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The best is to get the versions in which you have developed/tested. These can be found in MAX under Software, if it is possible provide a link to the NI ftp download URL.
Then export the settings in MAX (for tasks/scales) if you use them and provide a simple app that loads these items into MAX.
For RIO I'm not totally sure but I would create 'Getting started' that outlines what settings (IP/DNS etc.) to get the user started.

Automatically pre-configuration of LWAPP APs

Hi there,
what are my options to pre-configure new APs automatically before?
Environment:
central Cisco 5508 HA cluster and 2602 APs at all locations. In all locations there is a DHCP server is located. All DHCP servers are configured,so they find the controller (HQ) (option 43, etc.). The APs working in Flex Connect mode. Each location has its own VLANs and SSIDs.
Is there a way, a (suitable for location) receive the new APs a specific configuration of the WLC?
Or you can I, before the APs are connected in the location, provide you with a specific configuration?
So if you have good ideas for me?

Hi,
Actually when you use you AP with the WLC it don't have configuration rights on it,
It just perform the radio communication no more than this, so when you bring AP in your network and use flex-connect then all the configuration reflects/provisions from WLC.

Is there any way to back up a preconfigured iPad and deploy to new iPads using Configurator??

To clarify, we have about 100 ipads deployed in our district and lots more on the way. We had just used iTunes in the past to backup one master device with the apps and restored on the remaining sets of iPads. Obviously we wanted a simpler way to manage this as we are getting a lot more iPads coming in for use in the different schools. We got a MDM solution (Casper) and started using Configurator.
We are running the latest of Configurator (1.4.2) and IOS (7.0.4).
From what I have read (and a lot at that) I know that there are numerous issues with this setup (hopefully addressed very soon)
Here is my question:
Is it possible to take an already deployed device, loaded with apps (paid and free), back it up in Configurator, and deploy it to other iPads and still get all the apps to come down along with the restore?
Apparently this was possible in the past, I am just wondering if I am missing something. Any help or suggestions on how you are doing it would be very helpful
Oh, and to clarify, we are using VPP for the apps, just not managing them any where at this time, haven't decided the best tool for that, maybe casper maybe configurator, but we are compliant, only using the same quantity of apps that we have purchased.
Thanks
Edit: spelling error

I've heard if you contact your apple rep, Apple may restore your vpp codes so you can move to an MDM.

Pre-configured dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows

Of possible interest to the Linux folks: A newly opened Laptops with purpose store is now offering several popular ThinkPad models fully pre-configured with dual-boot Ubuntu Linux and Windows.
These systems come with a lot of pre-installed applications, see Dual boot Linux and Windows page for details.
At the moment, we are working on specific solutions for students, educators, scientists, designers...
Would love to have some feedback from the community on the existing offerings as well as suggestions/wishes for the future ones.

That would be fine if some hp machines didn't have broken UEFI that don't respect setting the default OS.

Pre-configured Linux with Oracle DB and Applications

Does anyone know if there is a pre-configured oracle-linux stack out there that would have all the components already configured. I have seen this for other products such as sugarCRM. Its really nice to have this, since it takes the complexity and installation time out of the equation, especially if you are just trying to test or demo the software. I imagine a PeopleSoft Oracle Linux Stack, as well as one for each of the Oracle Application and Software Suites. If not, i guess i will go the more fun route of downloading and installing each package individually.

There is package, named oracle-validated. it verifies and sets system parameters based on Oracle validated configuration recommendations for Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4.

NAC guest server and pre-configured duration of accounts

There seems to be a bug in the way the NAC guest server handles the pre-configured duration of guest accounts.
I have followed the manual and I did:
- Configured 3 durations (24h, 48h and 1 week) under the templates/accounts/accounts durations.
- And set "maximun duration of account" under User Groups
As I understand I should now be able to select one of the three configured durations when I login as a sponsor.
However I only get the number which I specified under User Group.
The odd thing is that if I change the Maximum duration under User Group, I get this as the only choice (e.g. 14 days).
Have other experienced this?
Best regards,
Steffen Lindemann

You can use any one of the option ie number of days or number of hours.
For days;
Authentication > User Groups > Add Group | Edit Group includes two new settings for Number of days in the future the account can be created and Maximum duration of account (in days)
For hours:
User Interface > Templates > Add Template | Edit Template > Accounts > Account Duration

Pre-configured MI Client

Hi MI guys,
is it possible to create a pre-configured MI client for deployment?
Question 1:
I want to set the right servers and some other configuration for the standard MI client so that the users don't have to enter something during installation?
Question 2:
What about using a deployment software like enteo Netinstall for installing a basic MI client? My thoughts are, I install and configure a MI client without synchronizing and this will be deployed via Netinstall on the client device (without installation routine of MI client).
Thank you and regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,
The short answer to both of those questions is "yes".
In our environment we used "Wise for Windows" utility to install SAP MI client with required parameters (IP address, SAP system ID, etc.), and then compile new .MSI package with pre-setup parameters.
And yes, we are able now to install it automatically now for our clients via Script Logic. It uses MSIEXEC on the background with "/quiet" option enabled and because of pre-configured settings, no input from end user is required during install process.
I think it should work properly with the other deployment tools, as they uses the similar logic.
Hope this answers your question.
Best regards,
Laziz

Failsafe method to create NetInstall image of pre-configured MacOSX

Hi All
I am trying to create NetInstall image of a pre-configured MacOSX install(mid-2011 mac mini) in this case. Here is my workflow:
1. Setup base OSX Mountain lion
2. Do all updates and configure System Preferences and Finder Preferences as desired
3. Install all desired software to be packaged with the system
4. Boot into target mode and then use a second mac mini running Casper Composer to create a .dmg of the OS.
5. Copy the finished .dmg to ML Server
6. Try to use System Image utility to create a NetInstall image that other mac minis can then use as base install
I havent had any success so far creating a valid .nbi folder I can use(and that works) for re-deployment unless I use Casper Admin and Casper Imaging to manage this. The reason I am trying to get away from using them is that the differnece between buying a $70 Casper Composer(or using the free Disk Utility) and buying the full Casper Suite is considerable. Also, my understanding of System Image Utility is that:
1. It should be possible to build a customised image of OSX from base with packages and coonfiguration added but it doesnt seem to work
2. NetInstall is the only viable option for what we want to do as NetBoot presumes you will boot off the image each time you start up(which is not what we want - we want the ability to clone systems and from bare metal if necessary) and NetRestore flatly doesnt seem to work from .dmgs.
Here is what I have found:
a) I can create NetInstall images from a mounted downloaded Apple-provided OSX Installer that work but as soon as I put customisations in them, the customisations fail.
b) By default NetInstall is greyed out when you mount the dmg and use it as a source in System image utility. Suggestions online are to change the Source to use a New variable and then point it back at the same location. NetInstall is then available. If you try to create a .nbi from this, you get an error saying that there isnt enough space on the target drive - the uncompressed dmg is about 7GB max and there is a spare 60-70Gb free on the drive I am trying to create the image on.
c) I have tried manually creating the .nbi folder but the instructions I found at http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21133 for doing this are outdated as they apply to ppc firmware and although I suspect the technique will still work, I cant work out which elements of the i386 folder I need to retain/move. Copying the i386 folder from another working Netinstall folder doesnt help.
d) I found some links suggesting that NetInstall only worked when the OSX versions were identical so I tried to run the System Image Utility on the Mac where the dmg was created. Here I get two errors:
     i) If I just run the NetInstall using the default source, it errors saying an unknown error has occurred and get the following in the log:
Workflow Started (2013-08-21 11:39:45 +0100)

     ii) If I change the source to the .dmg file and unmount it quickly to avoid any file locks, the installer goes further and seems to almost finish but then gives the following error(just appending the final bits):

Failed to create image from restore source.

An unknown error has occurred.
Image creation process finished...
Stopping image creation.
Image creation failed.
Anyone have any idea how I can get around these issues?

First, let's define the various image types...
NetInstall:
A network based image which, when booted into, presents the user with a Mac OS installer. Functionality is effectively the same as running the Install Mac OS X application locally on a machine.
NetRestore:
A network based image which, when booted into, uses Apple Software Restore to replace the contents of a volume with a previously imaged volume.
NetBoot:
A network based image which, when booted into, acts just like a locally booted hard drive, except no changes are written to the disk. Each time the client boots into the NetBoot volume, the system is "reset" to the original state.
As defined by your workflow, you are trying to create NetRestore images.
As piperspace has noted, you need to start with the latest OS Install application. Starting with an older OS which has been updated to the latest will not work.
Creating NetRestore images from other disk images doesn't work because you need to have the Recovery Partition available. As both chicster and piperspace have noted, the way to do this is to image the volume directly.
Many preferences are "ByHost", which means that they are keyed to the UUID of the machine they are set on. To make those settings transfer to the new machines, you may need to use the "Apply System Configuration Settings" action and check the "Change ByHost preferences to match..." option.

How Can I pre-configure the proxy settings in Acrobat 8?

We use a proxy server to authenticate users and it's causing a problem for our e-licensing. Is there a place to pre-configure the proxy settings / login and password for the e-licensing to happen quietly so our users don't have to see it?

Have you searched the forum for proxy? I do not have an answer, but this has been discussed before. I am not sure there is an answer in the discussions, but it is worth a try. There is likely a knowledgebase article on the issue also. Good luck.

How can I install a Designer 6.0 pre-configured repository ?

Hi:
I am trying to install Oracle Designer 6.0 to my client machine (Windows 2000) and server machine (Windows NT 4.0), what I did was:
[1]install Designer 6.0 client side on my client machine.
[2]install Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) on the server machine.
[3]configured SQL*Net Client and NET8 on both client and server, and it works fine.
[4]install pre-configured repository using Oracle Designer 6.0 CD #2 (pre-configured repository),but it always gives me such info:
" You have not installed a local copy of Oracle8 Enterprise Edition, therefore, Oracle Designer and ODD D7O4 Preconfigured Repository can not be installed. Please re-install this product after the local
database has been installed."
It seems strange, I did install 8i Enterprise Edition (I even installed Oracle8 Enterprise Edition) before repository, I should have
a local database.
How should I do next ?

Hi Zhu:
Now that you are trying to install Designer, your problem is easy to solve.
I think you should download Oracle Designer 6i Release 4 for Windows from http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/designer/software_index.htm and then do your install again.
The install and the server side setup maybe time consuming, but I am sure you can do it.
You may install Designer 6i Release 4 in the following steps:
(Before do these, uninstall your Designer 6.0 both from your client machine and Windows 2000 server using Oracle Installer)
Step 0: download Oracle Designer 6i Release 4 from OTN to your local directory, say c:\temp and unzip it to c:\temp\Designer6iR4. I will refer this directory as installation media. Make sure that you have equipped your server machine with at least 256MB memory. In my experience, 386MB is better and 512MB is recommended.
Step 1: make sure that one database was created in your installed Oracle 8i. If not, create a database at this step. The parameters of this database should be adjusted according the needs of Designer 6i. You will be told how to do this later.
Step 2: install Designer 6i R4 from the installation media to server machine. Pay attention at this step that you should "select to install both Designer and Repository." It is recommended that Designer should be installed to another new ORACLE_HOME. Don't install it to your Oracle database home. Say, to the ORACLE_HOME "DESDEV".
Some more words need to be said here, I think, about the ORACLE_HOME for Designer. Later if you install Oracle Developer into the same machine as Designer is installed to, both the Oracle Developer and Oracle Designer should be installed into the same ORACLE_HOME. So the name DESDEV stands for "DESigner and DEVeloper are both installed into the same Oracle home named DESDEV". This will be prompted to you just after the installation of Designer was finished.
Step 3: print out "Oracle Repository/Designer Installation Guideh from "Stat->Programs->Oracle Repository 6i Doc - DESDEV". I will refer this material as gManualh from here till the end of our talk.
Step 4: shutdown your database if it is running and then set the parameters to the correct values (required values) according to gCheck the settings in the Oracle initialization parameter fileh in the Manual, Chapter 2 Server-side installation, migration and upgrade.
Step 5: startup the database and then check the parameters. To do this, you need to login to database as user sys and then issue the command gshow parametersh. If all the parameters are correct you may go step 6. You may leave the database running.
Step 6: make sure that the database is running. If not, startup database here. Before proceed to install Designer 6i Server-side, the database should in running status.
Step 7: do the server-sidefs install of Designer 6i (that is, Repository) according to gChapter 2 Server-side installation, migration and upgradeh in Manual. In that part of manual, 17 steps of installation and setup Designer 6i server-side were mentioned. I am sure you can manage that with ease.
Step 8: install Designer 6i client-side into your client machine according to hChapter 1 Client-side installationh in Manual from the installation media.
By the way, I should tell you how much time it takes to accomplish all of these steps IF things were went smoothly: it took about 6 hours for me to have all these steps done. And my machinefs specifications is:
CPU 633MHz
RAM 512MB
Wish you good luck

Any suggestions on how to create pre-configured installers of the same base app? Here's an example of what I mean:
App: This base app connects to a configurable server domain. You could install and use this app just fine.
App for ClientX - This app should connect to serverX, and I want to pre-configure it to do so. It may also have custom configured branding for ClientX.
App for ClientY - This app should connect to serverY, etc.
So I want to be able to give ClientX an installer (or install link) that installs the App pre-configured to connect to their serverX, and I want to give ClientY an installer that connects to their serverY, but I want both to be the same application, built from the same codebase, with the same appID and certificate, and receive the same updates, etc.
I've considered using compile constants to create different AIR app versions with populated strings, which I think would work though a bit clunky, but would result in different versions of the app, when what I really want is to have the SAME version configured differently.
What I am currently doing is making a config file that can be shared, so the main app is installed then the client opens the config file with the app (file association makes this relatively easy, but still very manual feeling.) I would essentially like to automate this, so the end user only needs to run the installer.
The next step would be automating this process, so that when ClientZ purchases the app it uses ClientZ's information to provide an installer configured for ClientZ without manual human intervention. You know, for when my app inevitably gets famous and makes me rich.
Any suggestions?
Thanks all!

Well I'm not quite sure this fits your scenario but maybe (assuming your clients install your app from a website)...
You can use the swf (badge) method of installing AIR apps through the browser: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e15. html
This would give you the ability to pass in arguments into the install process. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a5d46-8000. html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e19
Basically you set your air app to "<allowBrowserInvocation>true</allowBrowserInvocation>" and add a listener for the BrowserInvokeEvent(not InvokeEvent)
Do what you want with the parameters (maybe save to a flash shared object) to remember who it was.
Then for distribution, provide a client only page, that passes flash vars into the badge swf, which passes them to the app for install.
I recently used this method in this way. I'm building a video conference app that can send invitations via a URL (videoapp.com?id=abcdefghijklnop).. On that page I have the badge (swf) that recieves that invitation through flash vars. The badge does the install of the AIR app and passes the invitation once it runs.
Note: I had to modify the default badge.swf to include my additional flash vars.
Other than this, I dont know of any way to add arguments to just a regular passed around .air file.
