DirectAccess and CALS - Do I need them?

I thought I needed Terminal Server CALS when I bought my server that I am using for DirectAccess, but now I think I don't need them. In other forums, I've seen MVPs say NO CALS ARE NEEDED FOR DIRECTACCESS.  Can I get a confirmation here?  I have
CALs for all of my appropriate servers inside the network, but just implemented DirectAccess for a 5 user office offsite on a single Windows 2012 R2 server on the edge of my network. 
Please verify I don't need ANY CALS.  Thanks.

RDS/TS CALs are needed if you will be using RDS/TS.
DirectAccess does not require RDS/TS services for itself - only Windows CALs are needed.
(DA is an included feature in WindowsServer and also within the Windows Server CAL)
(because, DA is not explicltly mentioned as requiring any other CAL)
If you were using DirectAccess, to allow users to remotely connect, and then jump onto an RDS/TS host (or consume RemoteApp published apps), RDS/TS CALs would be needed also.

  • What are Layers? And why do I need them?

    WHAT ARE LAYERS? AND WHY DO I NEED THEM?
    Layers are an essential part of Photoshop. With Layers you can separate pictures or design elements from each other, as if they are stacked on pieces of glass. With all elements separate, you can move or change them independent of each other.
    Layers are used for many tasks, including improving your images' color or tone; merging two or more images in one Photoshop file; and creating Web designs and animations.

    PHOTOSHOP/ LAYERS BASICS - Reference Guide

    After creating the mask and applying adjustment, you can also adjust and change layer mask using selection tools or, the most common way, using brush tools.
    To have a more accurate preview of what are you doing, Alt + click on the layer mask thumbnail to show the mask in the image area.
    At this point, you will have a layer mask on your screen in large view, so it is easy to fine tune it, but you wont see how that affects your image.
    To seean  instant preview how changes on layer mask affects the adjustments, use New Window for (name of your image) from Window > Arrange.

  • DSCN and library, do I need them both?

    I mooved fotoes from iPhoto to aperture 2 I get two copies called DSCN and library, do I need them both? Which of them do I keep in aperture?

    I am an Aperture 3 user, and have not used version 2, but it seems you should use the standard Import from iPhoto function.
    Have a look in your Aperture User Guide, and look in the Import menu function.
    When you say you dragged to the "disktop" does this mean you used Finder to drag from the iPhoto package to the desktop?  Opening up such packages is rarely a good idea.

  • What are npFirefoxPlugin.dll and FirefoxCtype.dll and why do I need them?

    My Norton 360 every now and then shows that these two .dll files have been automatically downloaded. I can find nothing on the internet about them but they are being downloaded into the - '…\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hr3ejyyl.default\extensions\…' area.
    Are they real mozilla files and do I need them?

    "If you still have this folder in staged then you can inspect the install.rdf file to see what extension this is about." (quote)
    I am sorry but I do not understand what 'in staged' means. I think you are referring to Norton's report, but I would not know where or how to find this.
    I also did read some of the Google search results (and had conducted my own search prior to coming to this forum) but I cannot make sense of them because some say it is a toolbar but I do not have extra toolbars (to my knowledge). Other sites want me to download their software to search it out, which I will not do.
    The fact that these files, and the conduitCommon folder all reside within the Mozilla folders tells me it is part of Firefox, but no one here has said it is definitely NOT a Firefox file.
    I also previous to coming to this forum, did search in my installed programs with Revo Uninstaller and in Control Panel but I could see nothing unusual.
    I think I will just uninstall Firefox, make sure all of that stuff is deleted and start over. What do you think?

  • Routers: What Are Jumbo Frames and why do I need them?

    Some routers' specs specifically mention that they handle jumbo frames (with a number like 9K). I have a network with 2 iphones, two ipads, 4 computers, two networked Blu-Ray players, and 3 computers, all of which are operating simultaneously a lot of the time.
    Some other companies seem to be using the fact that they support jumbo frames as part of their selling points. How do they help?
    I asked Cisco Chat support about the RVS4000 and whether it supported them on both the WAN and the LAN. They said not on the WAN. They also said "
    It appears under the L2 Switch tab you can input a Max Frame type.....
    I don't see anything that actually says jumbo frames but I believe you can put in a value.....
    after the device is setup you can navigate to the L2 Switch option and it has a Max Frame value"
    I'm not sure whether this router supports jumbo frames or not. I have a short list of wired gigabit routers that I'm considering for purchase and the RVS4000 is on the list.
    I need to learn more about this topic so any help or pointers to stuff to read would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks so much for the info. I read virtually all of it. The Jumbo Frames thing sounds very tricky - and possibly detrimental. I'll have to see if Time Warner Roadrunner supports them and at what sizes. Other than for really big file transfers between machines on my network (which I don't do that often) it sounds like jumbo frames isn't going to do much for me.
    It also looks like the RVS4000 is not what I want. The smallnetbuilder review was a very useful one-although it's 4 yrs old, it's still likely mostly valid.
    I do some gaming at times and it sounded like the adjusting of frame sizes until all the devices in the path are the same can cause unacceptable latency. Now it seems that no matter which gigabit router I choose, I need to be sure I get one where I can disable the major frames process, and maybe enable it when I want to do hard drive backups across the network. Welcome to the gigabit ethernet world I guess.
    The RV220W sounds like a nice machine, but is a lot more machine than I think I need for my network. I read a very detailed review of it on Amazon at:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2BBGBR6ARRJQO/ref=cm_pdp_rev_more?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview#R2SCJUQOKY7EN
    It also sounds like it's more complex to set up than I would like to tackle. I'm a retired electrical engineer but definitely not a skilled IT person, so plug and play simplicity is important. I understand just enough to get in trouble.
    Thanks again for the links. Much appreciated.

  • Tags - What are they and do I really need them?

    I've come across an issue where our users are having delays tabbing between text fields (a good 10-20 pause). Reading from Designer help, I've learned that tags/tagging is where the delay lies (correct?) If I save my forms WITHOUT tags, will this cause fuctioning issues with the forms or any other unforseen problems? Also, is there a way to set the default when "saving as" to uncheck that tagging box? Need more direction before I start changing my forms.

    The tags referred to in the "save as" box is a PDF facility called "structure tags". It's used to annotate the PDF with information about how the content inside is ordered. Its primary use is to allow a screen reader to read the text in the PDF in the correct order. Other uses include the ability to override the default tabbing sequence.
    Do a search on "tags" in the Designer Help and have a look at "About Accessible Forms" and "Design tips for creating accessible PDF forms" before disabling tags. If you're not concerned about enabling people with disabilities to utilize your forms, then you can safely save without structure tagging. If you need your forms to be able to be filled in by the general public, you should leave the structure tags in.
    Regards,
    Rob

  • Where do I find Windows Media and Quicktime player I need them for online classes

    For Angel learning I need windows Media and QuickTime player for the site to work properly. I had both add-ons in my earlier version of Firefox but they didn't carry over into Firefox 4 I'm disappointed in this version the look sucks and the pop-up blocker menu doesn't work.

    Go to the following page:

    That's the download page for WMP. Use WMP 10.

  • I deleted my playlist off my iPhone (on my phone not on iTunes) and it deleted the playlists from my iTunes and I NEED them back...how?

    It seems TOO MANY people are having this same problem.  Honestly, Apple is just dirt now...more problems than now.  I need help asap. 
    I went onto iTunes and clicked on my phone's name in the upper right corner.  I have my music set on 'selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres' which this usually means, I just click below to which playlists I want on my phone.  However, none of my playlists were updating (none of the new songs I added to my playlists already on my phone were transfering) so I went on my phone and simply deleted the playlists there, then was planning on re-syncing them on my phone from iTunes on my computer.  BUT when I went onto my iTunes, somehow ALL my playlists were deleted EVEN THOUGH I ONLY DELETED THEM OFF MY PHONE NOT MY COMPUTER!  THESE PLAYLISTS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND I NEED THEM BACK NOW!  I tried using the backup, which was done before the playlists were deleted, but of course Apple, it did not work.  Great job, there.  I just want these playlists back, both on my computer and on my phone.  I have plenty of space free to hold these playlists/songs.
    Apples exceptional failure of everything iPhone and iTunes related is too maturfully pathetic I don't know if I have the patience or time to deal with this company anymore, even though I have been along for the ride since the first iPhone came out.  Congratulations, Steve Jobs would be so happy with how far Apple's sunk.
    Problems:
    Video's not synching
    Playlists not updating
    Playlists deleting from iTunes when simply deleted from iPhone
    New songs not transfering to iPhone
    My battery jumping from 30% to 5% in less than a minute
    My phone completely shutting down at 30% and not turning back on, saying it needs to be charged
    When above happens, and I plug it in, after it turns back on, it pumps straight to 30% battery again
    Lock screen not always locking, even though it is set to 1 minute

    I'm not ranting at you, I'm ranting at Apple. 
    Yes, I backed it up.  It did not work when I tried this to get my playlists back.

  • I updated to Firefox 4 and it will not work so I can not get on line and it replaced the old firefox so I also lost all my bookmarks. I need them back. How do I get them?

    I have a Mc g5 with the 10.4.11 operating system. Your site is my home page and it kept bugging me to update to the firefox 4. So I did now when I try to get on it tells me that that "I can not open this application because it is not supported on this system". It replaced the old firefox that I had so I can not open that. I have no way to get to my book marks and I need them. Let me know how to get back to my old firefox and book marks.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

    I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month.

    This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
    You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
    And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
    Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
    The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
    Data table:
    D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
    D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
    D3 (and filled down the rest of column D):   =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
    The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
    Summary table:
    Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
    Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
    C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
        =COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
    Two changes from the previous example:
    COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
    The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
    See note below regarding my earlier formula.
    When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
    Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
    To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
    As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
    Regards,
    Barry
    Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
    The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
    In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
    Fill down to E8.
    Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

  • I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

    I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.
