Deploying a large client partition over the WAN.

Hi there,
I have a straight forward question on deployments. Here is the scenario:
I have a large number of machines (around 200) onto which I have to
deploy our client partition. The catch is this:
a) these machines (NT4.0 Workstations) are on a WAN, (64K line)
b) the client partition is huge (about 12MB),
c) and we would like to do regular upgrades to the system.
I looked at Applets and it is not going to buy us anything. What would
have helped is if Forte could compress the distribution files before
sending them across the WAN. As far as I know, this is not a feature of
Forte (we are using 3.0.G.2). I guess there must be something that I'm
overlooking.
Is there anyone out there willing to share his knowledge on this subject
with us?
Regards.

DNS: Client can't connect because .local domain isn't in DNS. How can I connect over the WAN to server.domain.local?

So my 2012 server is set up on the LAN with a .local domain name.
Remote Desktop Services are set up and remoteapp stuff works fine on the LAN.
I've set up port forwarding so I can connect to the server over the WAN too, but remoteapp stuff is a bit different. I can connect to the server by specifying the correct IP address. Giving a Web browser the address
https://serverIPAddress/RDWeb
lets me get the login screen and see the range of apps for me to run. I select one, the connectoid is downloaded correctly (in Chrome) and I click on the downloaded connectoid.
Unfortunately, rather than pursuing the sensible IP-address approach that I started with, the connectoid has been given the server's name on the LAN: server.domain.local. Clearly, the client machine tries to look this up but DNS hasn't heard of
it because it's a .local address.
I cannot be the only one to have come across this apparent oversight on Microsoft's part. Any ideas as to how this can sensibly be overcome? Obviously, I could put the IP address translation into every client's hosts file (and I've done this and shown it
works) but I've got too many clients to mess about like this. Anybody know 'the Microsoft way' to fix this?
Thank you for checking this out -- I am confident the details of the problem are completely specified in this query but, if I'm wrong, please ask.
Many thanks again,
Biffo

REMOTE RECORDINGS OVER THE WAN IN CCX 7

We have a customer
with CCX 7 local agents and recording services ( BUT NO QUALITY MONITORING)
Normally records all local agents calls ( colocated with CCX.
Now customer has remote agents via WAN and needs to record their conversations.
According specifications and PDI case the sutiationis:
"This deployment model can support silent monitoring and recording for agents at any WAN-connected site by using desktop monitoring. (Refer the Cisco Unified CCX Software and Hardware Compatibility Guide for a list of phones that support desktop monitoring). It can also support SPAN port monitoring for agents on the VLAN segment local to Cisco Unified CCX server. This deployment model does not incorporate additional remote Monitoring components, so silent monitoring and recording is not possible for agents who are using the Cisco IP Phone Agent at remote sites. Similarly, silent monitoring and recording is not possible for agents at remote sites who are using phones that do not support desktop monitoring."
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_7_0/design/guide/uccx70srnd.pdf
page 4-6
The list of phones not supported for desktop monitoring is listed in the compatibility guide.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_compatibility/matrix/crscomtx.pdf
In other words CCX can support "silent monitoring and recording for agents at any WAN-connected site by using desktop monitoring"
But assume you use an IP Phone that supports desktop monitoring
AS RECORDING OPTION WITHOUT QUALITY MONITORING NEEDS MAC ADRESS OF AGENT how can CCX record agent calls taking into accoutn that MAC address is lost when traversing the WAN ...
So the question for this dsicussion is :
IS QUALITY MONITORING THE ONLY WAY TO RECORD REMOTE AGENTS OVER THE WAN OR ARE TEHRE OTHER OPTIONS WITHOUT IT??
Pease reply to [email protected]

It is possible without QM. When using desktop monitoring, the phone is configured to Span to PC port. The agent must be running CAD and the PC running it must be attached to the PC port on the phone. CAD sees the spanned packets from the phone and then forwards them to the recording service on the CCX server. The big gotcha is that the NIC in the PC must not discard 802.1q-tagged packets. If the NIC discards them instead of forwarding them into the NDIS stack, CAD will never see them. Sometimes this takes a Google search and a registry setting change to fix if it doesn't work at first.

Management traffic load over the WAN

Management process(include monitoring and security) with the central WCS system will cause Management traffic over the WAN links.
Can you tell me more about the traffic load over the WAN links if we will use it as only as Wifi detection and prevention system(inclue location and not for wireless services..for now).
We will use 150 air-AP1000(lwapp)on AIR-MONITOR mode over the WAN and 4400 controllers one in each remote sites(10 sites).

I think the following documents might provide you with some good information.

Multi-Master Replication over the WAN

DS verison: 5.1 sp1
Did any one implement multi-master replication across the WAN or different IP subnets?

Sun does mention about DS 5.2 being better than DS 5.1 in WAN based Muli-Master replication with respect to replication performance. I wanted to see if any one out there had implemented (or even played with this topology in their labs) it with out any major hickups.
Thank you!

Distributed deployment migration to Clustering over the WAN

Hello All,
The existing deployment is distributed with different CM versions running on each of them i.e 6.1.3(2 Clusters), 7.1.5(1 Cluster) and 8.6(1Cluster). It has been requested to get these clusters migrated to version 10.x in either centralized or CoW deployment. However, some of the clusters have around 1700 and 2600 phones in the cluster and because of SRST gateway sizing limitation, we have to approach CoW deployment. We have CUCM, UCxn(new dep) and MediaSense(new dep) applications. There are currently around 8000 users registered to the CM but considering future expansion, it must be proposed for about 20K users. My questions are :
1) With UCSS in place, how does the Migration work for different versions? I am not aware of the existing used and unused DLU's in 6.1.3 version and methinks it has to be taken into account to convert into type of Users for UCL.
2) Without UCSS in place, how tricky does the migration become?
2) There are 8 sites, with 5 sites having at least 2000 users. Considering future expansion for 20K users, how do we position the number of subscribers in each site for CoW deployment? I understand there are BHCA and bandwidth calculations involved, 1PuB, 1 SuB, 1 TFTP/MOH servr in DC, 1 SUB each in other sites and an additional TFTP server in one of the sites?
Appreciate the help!
Q

Q,
The first place to start is to look at the cucm 10.X SRND. Look in detail at capacity planning and call processing.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/collab10/collab10/callpros.html
Each cucm 10.X node can support a total of 10,000 users/devices using the 10,000 OVA template. The cluster can support a total of 40,000 users/devices. I am sure this will meet your present and future needs.
Next you need to look at sizing. The cisco virtualization wiki details what to do in this case..
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_in_a_Virtualized_Environment#How_to_Design
Download the sizing tool from here
http://tools.cisco.com/cucst/faces/landing.jsp
Then use the placement tool to determine how you should place your VMs..
You may want to send your final output to Cisco to verify your design. Virtualization is not so straight forward as bare metal server deployments, so you need to design carefully.
From what you have said, looking at about 20,000 users I would suggest the following
1. 4 cucm subscribers--each deployed with 5,000 users/devices. This setup will allow for one to one backup
2. 2 dedicated tftp/moh servers
3. 1 publisher
That gives you a total of 7 virtual machines. This means that you will need two UCS servers-C series servers
Although the sizing tool suggested 12 VMs with six subscribers.. (this means that you will need three UCS servers-C series)
For SRST, depending on how critical the phone system is you either do the ff
1. Use the voice gateway at the site to support SRST. This obviously is limited to the capacity of the voice gateway at the site
2. Re-use the existing cucm servers and deploy them at the local site just for SRST. This will ensure you can support the whole site in SRST
It is advisable to place your UCS servers in your DC. If you have a single DC, then you place one there and then the other at another site (Hq)

SCCM fails to deploy Patches to client with in the maintenance windows.

Hi,
I am new to Patchng through SCCM just 7 months of experience.
I deploy the patches regular month basis as microsoft release the patches every month. till now the patch deployment was happening smoothly, but from last month i am facing issue like the SCCM failed to push the patches with in the provided maintenance window.
even if the maintenance window over client will not get install.
i have checked the enforcement status report for the same collection which i deployed, the status is always downloading updtaes.
We have collection called Workstation and servers, both the collections compliance is less like 20% or lesser than that.
Arround 800 Workstations deployed and given deadline 10 days. with suppressed reboot.
Arround 70 Servers deployed with with automatic reboot via Maintenance window.
deadline to install is 1 hour ahead of maintenance window.
It would be great if any one suggest the solution to make software update deployment through SCCM with in the maintenance window.

The whole configure over WAN thing is confusing me I don't want anyone to be able to access my airport extreme over the WAN. How can I check to make sure that is the way I have it setup?

I just bought a new airport extreme and I want to make sure that is NOT set up for "configure over WAN". How do I check to make sure that is how I have it set up? I only want access to the base via WPA2 password

Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab located just below the row of icons
Remove any check mark that might be in the box next to Allow Setup over WAN
Click Update to save your settings and the AirPort Extreme will restart in 25-30 seconds
For what it is worth, if you leave the box checked, any computer that tries to access the settings on the Airport Extreme will be asked for the device password....not the wireless network password.

SCCM updates not deploying to member clients connected to the distribution server

Hi Support
Please if somebody can help me with the current issue iam having interms of SCCM definition updates from distribution server not being deployed to all devices(machines)that are connected to that distribution server. As a result of this all machines
are now out of date.
It was working perfectly all through this time until last month, i noticed that most of the machines were not recieving their daily definition updates which would show on the machine side under the Software center console. By seeing this i had to troubleshoot
from the machine side as well as the server side to locatet the issue but my attempts were not successful the issue.
However, after going through the event logs i noticed the below status of WSUS had errors so thought might be one of the factors affecting the distribution point(server) to all the 200 plus machines which are connected via the site code(002) of the distribution
server. Please confirm on this.
Please i really need your technical assistance so i can reslove the issue from my end.
Should you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks

can you provide the scanagent.log and
WUAHandler.log on the client machines as well as wsyncmgr.log on the SCCM site server?

Can anyone advise on how to share large files over the net?

Hi all.
So I need to share large video files over the net.
The files will be between 5 and 10 GB
Does anyone have a solution for this?
I have been using my ftp program and just giving the recipient the download link.
But its affecting my upload quota and the recipients download quaota with our ISP's.
Is there an easier way at all?
Thanks.

Contact the ISP for a temporary exception on the quota, or to get an explanation of how long before you can send a second segment for the download. You can split large downloads by UUEncoding them, or making separate disk image segments with Disk Utility. You could also find out if any local WiFi hotspots don't have a quota issue. Lastly, you could send a thumbdrive by mail.

Deployment of SOAP client...

Hi,
My setup is iAS 10.1.2.0, database is 10.1.0.2, JDeveloper is 10.1.2.0.
I am trying to deploy a SOAP client stub to the database, when I get the errors below. Obviously I will have to load some JARs to correct this.
Having read the "http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/loadjars.html" page, I am not sure what jar files I will have to load to the 10g database (will I really need the OC4J downloaded files or can I do with the ones supplied in the database directories?), and if there are any obstacles I need to be aware of beforehand?
Cheers,
Jørgen

Following up on the "How-To Install Soap Client Stack in Oracle..." note, I tried to base the install on the JARs available in the database installation, using the following script:

set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\DB

I see two problems from this:
-the SSL classes are not being loaded (I seem to remember having read that these are not supposed to go into the SYS schema, correct?)
-Among others, I receive an error "ORA-29534: referenced object SYS.oracle/soap/transport/http/OracleSOAPHTTPConnection could not be resolved". This last error is preventing me from deploying the webservice client stub.
Any hints/tips are very welcome! -How have you deployed these JARs into 10.1.0.2?

How to mass deploy Windows InTune client software with GPO

I have been looking for mass deploy Windows InTune client software. The only option that I had was with GPO. As we know the exe is not possible to deploy with GPO. Ok, we can play arouund with ZAP files or tranform exe to msi. In my opinion this is
rather »walk-around« the »enginering aproach. So, how can we mass deploy InTune client with GPO. We need to extract the msi from exe. The command is »Windows_Intune_Setup.exe /Extract <destination-directory> ». The command extracts exe to x86 and x64
client msi install. Then we can deploy throw GPO. The »WindowsIntune.accountcert« file must be in the same folder share as described in document http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676611.aspx.
I have tested the deployment, and works good.

Deploying existing application (forms and reports) over the web

Hi I do have the following environment:
1) Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 on HP-UX.
2) Application written using oracle forms6i and reports6i on NT (Client-Server environment)
I am looking to deploy this existing application over the web using 9iAS, sure I don't want to rewrite my application. I did that in the past using OAS 4.0.8 and forms server and reports server.
1)Does 9iAS support that, which one should I install the standard or the enterprise.
2)Do I still need forms server and reports server.
I stopped using the OAS because it had problems and the performance was not that good, I found CITRIX and Tarantella do better, performance wise.
3)Does 9iAS has improved that.
Any feedback regading these many questions is highly appreciated
Thanks
Khaled

Sounds like the ideal 9i As environment (although you might want to consider either upgrading or patching the database - 8.1.6.0.0 does have patches)
You'd be pleasantly surprised with the performance and stability improvements of 9iAS over OAS.
Deploying reports & forms over the web (pure web access, not terminal services like citrix) require some form of web server, reports server and forms server. I believe that 9i AS is totally compatible with the reports and forms developed in 6i tools, so there should be no rewrite at all.
If you have the time, strongly recommend you check it out.

Can you copy the Windows Bootcamp partition over to a new hard drive?

I'm out of space on my hard drive so I'm adding a larger one. I originally just wanted to use my time capsule for a backup, but then I remembered about my Windows partition.
What would be the most efficient way to copy both partitions from my original drive to the new drive for install?
I have a Macbook Pro 13in Late 2011 model and running OSX 10.9.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
-Cory

Backup your Windows software using Windows backup software to a Windows formatted disk. Create a new Boot Camp partition on the new drive. Install Windows on it, then restore your backup. You can also buy disk cloning software that can clone the system to another drive and restore the entire clone. I believe Acronis has such software.
