Deploymentshare : local or DFS? What is best for performance and failures? And what about multicast in relation to DFS?

Hi,
we use MDT 2013 on MS Server 2012 Standard. We deploy LTI's. We have only one (virtual) MDT-server and that has only one deploymentshare. I'm having now a discussion with my colleague about where to put the deploymentshare. He says that we should put it
on our fileservers (which use DFS) because it's more safe and more dynamic (no idea what he means with that). But to me it appears quite strange to separate an application and its main folder structure. I have this idea that those two need to be as close
as possible, like to avoid network problems for instance. It's also a fact that our MDT-server is backed up every night, so if something bad happens we just ask our colleagues to restore the latest snapshot. Can someone explain which option is the better and
why : local or DFS?
Second thing which is related to my first question: I've read on this forum about multicast not being possible when the deploymentshare is not local on the server? Am I correct? Anymore info about this issue would be nice too. Awaiting your answers I'll
keep looking for more clues everywhere.
thanks,
Paul

IN addition to what is mentioned here.
MDT works great with DFS. However note that MDT is *NOT* supported with Domain DFS, only stand-alone DFS, because Domain DFS implies that the client is joined to a domain when you make the call, and MDT needs to run within WinPE, where there is no domain
infrastructure.
Multicast should be on the same machine as your DeploymentShare, wherever that may be. If you have DFS, your deployment share would be the root.
Another idea is to use DFS to replicate out to your DFS leaf nodes, and each Leaf node would be it's own WDS Server with Multicasting being done from there.

Best for IE AND Firefox - jpeg, gif, or png?

I want to do something that SEEMS fairly simple - making a
page with rounded corners. I made small graphics in Illustrator to
give this effect. I tried saving them as gifs, pngs, and jpegs -
pretty much all of them look find in Firefox, but in IE, they look
messed up and look like they have borders around them. they don't
look like that when i view them in Fireworks or Photoshop, only in
IE.
take a look:

this?

If you mean like the corner graphic in the bottom left hand
corner of
the white area, then I copied and pasted it into fireworks
and zoomed in
to about 1600% and you can see there is a top and bottom
border on the
graphic.

What is Best Practice for Publishing and Subscribing to Multicast Video P2P

Please, could someone help with an issue I am having in developing a peer to peer video chatting application? My application uses multicast to publish and subscribe to video streams of NetGroup members. I'm listening for the NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect event, and I'm calling the following function:
protected function onPeerConnect(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
                var peerID:String = event.info.peerID;
                // create user vo here
                // user Value Object for incoming stream
                userVO = new User();
                userVO.peerID = peerID;
                netGroup.addNeighbor(peerID);
                receiveStream(userVO);
protected function receiveStream(userVO:User):void{
                // init netstream
                var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(nc,groupspec.groupspecWithAuthorizations());
                stream.receiveVideo(true);
                stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,netStatus);
                // init panel
                // alter to use custom component instead
                var panel:Panel = new Panel();
                panel.id = "panel" + panel_seq;
                panel.title = "Panel" + panel_seq;
                panel.width=322;
                panel.height=281;
                panel.x = 50 * panel_seq + 200;
                panel.y = 25 * panel_seq + 200;
                var cpanelContent:Array = new Array();
                panel.controlBarContent=cpanelContent;
                panel.controlBarVisible=true;
                // init video
                var video:Video = new Video();
                video.width=320;
                video.height=240;
                video.attachNetStream(stream);
                stream.play("media");
                // init videoWrapper
                var videoWrapper:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
                videoWrapper.id = "wrapper" + panel_seq;
                videoWrapper.addChild(video);
                // add to display list
                addElement(panel);
                panel.addElement(videoWrapper);
                // drag and drop panel
                panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,function(event:MouseEvent):void{
                    panel.startDrag();
                    addElement(panel);
                panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,function(event:MouseEvent):void{
                    panel.stopDrag();
                panel_seq++;// used for unique panel id
                userVO.panel = panel;// reference to the panel
                userVO.stream = stream;
                userVO.video = video;
                peers.addItem(userVO);
I am confused on this:
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(nc,groupspec.groupspecWithAuthorizations());
What should I pass as the second parameter to establish an incoming NetStream with the publishing peer? I've seen people put in the farID but I haven't figured out how to access it. What is the difference between event.info.peerID and event.info.neighbor? And since I'm multicasting to the group do I need to pass in the groupspec or the farID? I would love some clarification on this.
What is happening is this:
When I join the group, and there are two members in the group already, I'll get three panels with videos. However, duplicate video streams are being attached. When I inspect the peerStreams array I'm seeing a length of 0, so does that mean that no one is subscribing to my published netstream? If so, how do I specifically subscribe to each published stream in the group? Sometimes if I step through in debug mode, I get three separate camera feeds in their prospective panels, but if I run it will have duplicates. I thought at first that this was a referencing error because all of the NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect events where happening all at the same time and perhaps that is the reason for the duplicates?
My only other thought is that maybe I'm multicasting one guys stream to the whole group, but I'm getting varying results so I want to know what is the correct way to grab, in sequence, a NetGroup members' published netstream and be sure that all other members are subscribing to my NetStream as well?
Also, I am using Value Objects to keep track of who my group members are, is that data shared with the group or is it not accessible to all members?   or should I use another method of keeping track of my group members?
Please help! Thank you in advance!

What Mac Pro specs are best for Photoshop and Lightroom?

I'm about to cross over from PC to Mac. I've got up to 4 grand to blow on it and would like to spend it as wisely as possible. I've decided to take the Mac Pro route, but am unsure what configuration I should go for to keep Photoshop and Lightroom working smoothly. My image file sizes are usually around the 300 Mb mark but they often rise to 700 Mb or more when layers are involved. My so-called powerful Dell PC struggled with these sizes.
Should I do the obvious and go for bucket loads of RAM and as powerful a processor as possible, or are there more effective moves? For example, would 8 core be a worthy improvement over quad core?
My image library is stored on separate drives so I could hold back on hard disc space. If any wiser head can advise I would be grateful. Just don't make the answers too techy. I'm no computer boffin.
Thanks in advance.

1. Don't buy a MAC PRO now. New ones are to be released in the next weeks (maybe already today as today is Apples WWDC Opening)
2. Lightroom and Photoshop can use all processor cores you have. So I would go with the cheapest two CPU Model. As an upgrade by example from 2.26 to 2.66 Ghz (current Model) will cost you more then 1400$ for only 15% more processor power which results in maybe 7--10% faster application perfromance.
3. Don't buy extras at the Apple store.
4. For the saved 1400$:
4a. get from a third party provider a total of 10-16 GB of RAM (10 are normally sufficient)
4b. Additionally I would suggest to get 2 fast SSD Disks with 128 GB (or if you can afford it) 256 GB . Put them in a RAID 0 Array. Put your OSX Files and Lightroom Catalog, Caches and current work files on it.
4c. Get two 2 Terabyte Drives and run them as RAID 1 for your pictures. And an additional 2 GB Extra External Firewire 800 or Better eSata Drive for Backup purposes.
Have fun with a very fast machine.
Additional question: How are your current storage devices connected to you computer: USB, eSATA , Ethernet or Firewire?
If you don't know what some things mean, go to a good 3rd Party Apple Seller who gives you fair prices for upgrades.

Best way to migrate to a new SSD drive for performance and reliabilility

Hello all,
My 2011 15" MacBook Pro is about 3 weeks old and my new OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD is coming in tomorrow.
What is the best way to move my system over to the new drive? I have Time Machine backups on my external Firewire drive as well as complete drive images made with CCC. I have read where some have had problems cloning to a new SSD using a drive image.
My plan is to format the drive and install the OS with the cd then move my applications and files over with Time Machine but it would be much easier to just clone the existing drive image but I don't want any problems down the road. What is the best practice?
Thanks.

Follow this outline:
+Step One+: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Quit and shutdown.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
+Step Two+: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who are also a good vendor for drives.
+Step Three+: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
+Step Four+: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
+Step Five+: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive.
Source means the old external drive.
+Step Six+: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Sprint Phones - Best For iSync and Music

It's time for a new cell phone. I've seen lists of phones that "could" work with my Mac, but I am asking all those users out there, what is the best Sprint phone that will work with my Mac, iSync and also where I can put my music on it. Are there reviews out there with suggestions?
I'd love to have an iPhone, but we don't even have and AT&T store around here and I heard the service is horrible. I really would love to have a cell phone that works with my Mac. Please throw me any help or suggestions!
Thanks
Mike

As Sprint/Nextel—like Verizon—is primarily a CDMA carrier, your choices are limited.
To begin with, no Nextel iDEN mobile handset is supported by iSync. CDMA mobile handsets commonly offered under the Sprint segment do not use industry-standard SyncML or other protocols, are are therefore not supported by iSync.
Your best bet is to choose a smartphone: one powered by the Blackberry, Palm or Windows Mobile OS, and use a third party product like the Missing Sync application which matches the operating system of your device.
Sprint is set to release the Palm Pre, a rather revolutionary touch device somewhat like the iPhone, but which uses Palm's new Linux based kernel. It is quite likely to be supported by a yet unreleased product from Mark/Space.

Which motherboard is the best for p4 and works with all windows fro

dear all
iam looking for a good motherboard for p4 processor but i have used gigabyte but with windows 98 it keeps freezing the system
so could some body give me an advise to a better motherboard to work with all windows (98 to xp)
thank you

Hi sha6sho6,
I dun really know if it will have mini errors with 98 as I didn't install any 98 on my system, but this board works perfectly fine with my 2000. 2000 is a more complex platform than 98 as it supports more than Windows with NT in it.
If it works well with my 2000 platform, then I think 98 shouldn't be a prob .

Best power performance AND everydayusable apple setup

Hello, didnt really know hwere to post this guess it more belong under like "computers" generally,
but! For a while...
(-THE LONGER VERSION) :
No whait!, let me start where it all began, 2009, a december (erhh.. iii think? Hwatever!) litlle me hwere nearly Totally blank to the computer world. And suddenly it stood there on the table, a shining (it was shining back there) new "hp pavillion entertainment pc" with its smell of fresh plastic mixed hwith the strong smell from the cardboardbox, remember it as if it were yesterday
... Since then.... I have today a good solid pc knowing! (at more advance level cmd,bott menu, recovery, blah, blah... NERD!) here at the last awhile, ive prommised to make a lot! A lot of video projects!
(okay 2, but some big ones!) avchd multilayer 2 hours!!!!
So the poor hp laptop -dual core i2 4gb ram, has been begged to it knees! And simply cant handle it of course! and it have just trough time benn loaded with lots of crap, and is extremly noisy, heat, slow, anoying = unusable!
SO hwat i need is...
(-THE SHORTER) :
A computer setup that will EASILY! could handle stuff like that (avchd, multilayer, 2 hours project) -and simmilar. A total power machine! But Im tired of windows! And ugly cheap looking design! The times have changed and i change with them!
NOW I WANT APPLE!!
But but but... Hwat should i get????
1. Im NOT a billionare!
2. I repeat: NOT a billionare!
3. I also need portability for every day use beyond the hardcore creative editing and use
AT LAST:
i saw in front of me this genius plan... With a macbook pro, a tuned one, with as much of ram,cpu,gpu, and everything else as it can posibble have
-the perfect combination of transportabillity, everydayuse and total power!
When it gets combine with,
A cinemadisplay
A extra keyboard
And a extra magic mouse
And this power macbook pro, with screen, mouse, and keyboard i've found a really good offer at.
MY ACTUAL QUESTION.... :
Now it is yours turn to please! be creative! Please! Hwat does all you genius heads! think and say?
WILL A super tuned MACBBOK PRO COMBINED WITH ACCESSORIES, AT ALL, BE ABLE TO REPLACE A STRONG MAC PRO, OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF? And if yes, HOW strong actually (ram,cpu,gpu...) will it need to have to be "more than enough"?
If no, what would all of you then suggest that is perfect in relation to everything?

Unless you know for sure that you are not going to use temporal effects or render to a codec that works with MP rendering turned on (Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously) then turn it off. It's better than it was in previous versions but still can cause tremendous delays and even system hangups if you throw in an incompatible effect or render to an incompatible codec.
Set your ram used by other applications to an even number in the top field -- always, and if you do decide to use MP rendering I have a question about your choice for ram allocation there. How many processors are "Actually Used?" I'm getting zero for Other Applications and Zero for AE. You need to change things here. If you cannot allocate an even number of CPU's to AE then don't bother. If you are going to use MP rendering - run a bunch of tests when you have processors assigned to the process and you are leaving at least 2 to other apps and the minimum RAM assigned in MP is an even number. Otherwise, throw 2 or 4 GB of your available ram to other apps at the top and turn off MP.
The location of your disk cache can be anywhere you like. I always pick a big fast drive with lots of space that is not the same as my system drive or the source footage drive unless I have no other options.
