DirectAccess easy-quick-short lab with VMs ?

Hi.
I'm learning for MCTS 70-642 exam and I’m trying to be hands-on in Direct Access. I'm using 2008R2 and Win7 VMs on VmWare. I did deploy DirectAccess at least 10 times. At every trial, I struggled a lot for troubleshooting
; and it worked only couple of times.
I did use very good labs ; but, often, they are little bit long and confusing :
- http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24144
- The lab in the MS Press book "Self-Paced-Training-Exam-70-642-Infrastructure".
I'm tryning to find a quick and short lab for making work the most basic functionnalities of DirectAccess ; with, only, the following components :
 - AD corporate domain with the following computers joined to it : DC1, DA-SERVER, WIN7-MEMBER-CLIENT, 2008R2-MEMBER-SERVER.
- NLS and AD CS are deployed on Domain Controller (DC1).
- Computer certificates are auto-enrolled on all computers.
- Web Server certificate is deployed on DC1 only (for NLS).
- 6to4 must be the only tunnelling protocol used on clients. Setting public Ipv4 addresses must automatically activate 6to4.
- IP-HTTPS certificates or settings are not configured.
- CRLs are note configured (for AD, it is not necessary).
 QUESTIONS :
 Could DirectAccess work with that limited infrastructure ?
Anybody could help me build that easy-quick-short lab in VMs ?

Hi BenoitS,
1) My DirectAccess server is configured with 2 NICs : 1 internal (corpo) and 1 public (internet). The public NIC is configured with two consecutive addresses (131.107.0.1, 131.107.0.2).
2) When all computers (including the DA Server) are intially joined to the domain (inside corpo), they auto-enroll Computer certificate in their Computer store. That certificate is used for IPSEC.
3) As I said in my first post ; I want to keep things basic. All I want to configure on the DA server is : the DirectAccess application and an auto-enrolled Computer certificate for IPSEC. No DNS, no IIS, no AD CS, no NLS, ... on that server.
4) I do no want to configure IPHTTPS. Because, I'm avoiding to install IIS on DA Server. I'm also avoiding to install a certificate and to configure a CRL for IPHTTPS.
5) To keep things basic, I think 6to4 is a good option. I learnt that 6t04 configures automatically when you configure a public Ipv4 address on Win7. And it does. It does it automatically both on client and DA Server sides.
6) All the infrastructure is running on the DC : DNS, AD CS, IIS, NLS, ...
7) IPSEC is required by DirectAccess. I think, that's why it is important to install computer certificates on DA and on all clients. Could the computer certificates auto-enrolled by AD CS (inside corpo) be used when clients are communicating by internet
(outside corpo) ? I have no idea.
Back again to my question : Is that minimal configuration supposed to work ?

  • Quick Short Test & Review of X58 PRO-E

    Here is an upgrade version to the entry level X58PRO motherboard that MSI has to offer before. Model name is “X58PRO-E” and this was introduced to solve the High IOH Temp that other users encountered before with the X58 Pro. The chipset & VRM heatsinks are now screwed on the board thus making a good contact for better & fast heat dissipation. Don’t get worried  also for the price because this would be still around 10k PHP and if paired with a good i7 920 processor (priced around 13-14k PHP) you will own a system which would be great for video editing, graphics processing & gaming as well (SLI or Crossfire can be done on this motherboard ^^ ). On the other hand, if you are an overclocker like me. It is very easy for the board to overclock the i7 920 to 4ghz at a minimal voltage increase and few bios tweaking.
    So here is a shot of the box and its contents
    •Four Sata Cables
    •One IDE Cable
    •Two Molex to SATA power Adapters
    •1x Cross Fire Bridge
    •Front Panel header labels
    •Driver & Extras CD
    •User manuals & Backplate
    Features
    •Support for Core i7 LGA1366 CPUs at 4.8-6.4GT/s QPI
    •Intel X58 northbridge and ICH10R southbridge
    •Six 1.5V DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 24GB of memory
    •One Realtek RTL8111C Gigabit Ethernet controllers
    •Three PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots (x16/x16/x4)
    •Two PCI-EXpress x1 slots
    •Two PCI slots
    •Seven SATA II ports - six from Intel ICH10R (supporting Intel Matrix RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 and JBOD), one from JMicron JMB363
    •One IDE port supporting one device from JMicron JMB363
    •One eSATA port from JMicron JMB363
    •Ten USB 2.0 ports - six on rear I/O, four via pin-outs
    •JMicron JMB381 IEEE1394a Firewire supporting two ports - one via pin-out, one on the rear I/O
    •Realtek ALC888S 7.1 Channel High-Definition audio codec
    Layout & I/O Ports
    Black heatsink screw design. Three well placed PCIE (x16/x16/x4) slots which won’t give any users a problem installing three dual-slot video cards. You will also find below the Easy OC Switch sticker are the Easy Power/Reset/ Clear Cmos Buttons & beside them is the OC Switch.
    On the rear you will find 6 USB Ports, Firewire port, E-SATA, SPDIF Out , PS2 for KB & Mouse, Gigabit LAN & lastly 7.1 audio ports.
    BIOS
    I only took pictures of the Cell Menu because this is the most important part of the bios especially in overclocking. This is where you will tweak your system.
    CPU Specifications
    Memory Specifications
    More Memory Options for Tweaking
    Voltages
    This is where you can save all your overclock or tweak settings
    Test Setup
    •Intel Core i7 920 C0
    •G Skill Trident 2000 CAS9 1.65V
    •MSI 4770
    •FSP 800 watts PSU
    •Seagate 500GB SATA
    •Windows Vista Ultimate 64BIT SP2
    Below are quick short tests on how good the board can handle high memory clock speeds even though in the manual it only says there that the highest OC for the memory speed is up to 1600mhz only for the motherboard.
    G Skil lTridents 1600 6-7-6-18 TRFC60 1.58V
    G Skill Tridents 1866 7-8-7-20 TRFC65 1.60V
    G Skill Tridents 2000 8-9-8-20 TRFC80 1.65V
    Tridents 2100 9-9-9-24 TRFC88 1.72V
    I was able to get a good bclock 222 also with the i7 920 C0 I have. I guess if I used a D0 stepping instead , I can push the bclock higher.
    Final Thoughts & Conclusion
    I was very impressed on the capabilities of this entry level X58 motherboard can do. A few tweaks on the cell menu I was able to get high memory clocks and all were stable. You would also notice on one of my shots running the memory @ 2100mhz, my uncore ratio turned to a high of 4200mhz speed. All of these were done all on air. 
    Pros :
    - Cheap Entry level X58 Board
    - Easy to overclock
    - Support SLI and Crossfire
    - No issue on Bigger aftermarket CPU cooler
    - 90 degrees placement of SATA & IDE ports
    Cons :
    - No SLI Bridge included in the Box

    I wish mine were that low...  I just built a machine with the X58 Pro-E, all stock, no overclock.  Mine idled at around 80c.  I removed the heatsinks, scraped off the pink gummy stuff they used, put on new thermal paste, and reattached using two red fiber washers at each screw to increase the heatsink pressure on the chips.  It now idles at around 66c.  It is much better, but still not near the 50c that you're seeing.  I wonder why?  My case is an Antec Nine Hundred Two, with great airflow.  I also moved my video card down a slot so the cips weren't covered.
    Can someone else using the X58Pro-E board post their IOH temps as I want to change out my X58 Pro board before summer arrives.
    I am not prepared to attempt to remove the heat sink and if other people are still getting 80c IOH temps, which is what I am getting and it is winter here at the moment, then it will be a waste of time me paying to have my board replaced.

  • I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    Great, first post, sorry for the title.  But to repeat it:
    I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
    If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
    All of this you can do with FTP

  • Short Dump with ALV Report

    Hi
    I have one Zreport which gives the result in ALV form.
    After getting the result(1 row with 33 columns) when I tried to export the ALV results to spread sheet using the option : List-> Export-> Spread Sheet OR by click on Excel icon in the display screen,I'm getting the short dump with the description "No more storage space available for extending an internal table" .
    After analysis ,find that dump is raising in the FM : F4_GET_RESULT of Include Program : LSDH3U03.
    Can anyone provide us some clue .
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sreeram

    Hi,
    If the display is in ALV grid format, then you can try another approach to save the data in a spreadsheet.
    - Right-click on any output cell.
    - Select 'Spreadsheet' from the drop down list
    - radio-button 'All available formats'
    - Excel (In existing XXL format)

  • ABAP short dump with "CNTL_ERROR"

    Hi,
    I am getting an ABAP short dump with "CNTL_ERROR" while using an input script. What do I do?
    Thanks,
    Sreekar.

    Hi,
    Newer versions of SAP GUI and R/3 include external controls called as ActiveX (OCXs). ABAP code internally issues some commands to flush and refresh these controls. Since, when using GuiXT and input scripting, these controls are not created, and ABAP dumps. Use keyword "Enable controls" (without quotes on a separate line) in a screen block that has an ActiveX control.
    Example:
    Screen SAPLCOIH.3000
      Enter "/Menu=4,1,5"
    Screen SAPLSP01.0100
      Enter "=No"
    Screen RIPLKO10.1000
      Enable controls
      Set F[Group] "UG"
      Enter "/8"
    Reward Points if found helpfull..

  • Short dump with TPM_TRD1 000

    hi  everyone,
    when I run the Tcode:TBB1&#65292;i come across a ABAP short dump error.
    my system environment is:
    PC
    windows2003NT
    oracle10.2
    independant system without SLD control
    The error info as follow:
    Note 837202 - TPM_MIGRATION:tpm18: Short dump with TPM_TRD1 000
    Summary
    Symptom
    You migrate from Release CFM or Enterprise 1.10 to ERP 2.0 or higher. There are already parallel valuation areas in use. In tpm_migration_cat, you specify a key date. In the test system, the following short dump occurs for the parallel valuation areas:
    Error message short text:
    Internal error: SLD
    Message class: "TPM_TRD1"
    Number: 000
    Variable 1: "SLD"
    Other terms
    CL_DISTRIBUTOR_SLD, TPM_TRD1000
    Solution
    In the production system, you have to carry out tpm18 before the technical upgrade for all business transactions that are before the key date from tpm_migration_cat.
    I do not understand how to do with the soluton
    eg.what is "tpm18"?
    Do need your helps,
    Thank you very much
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    I guess you found note 837202 when you were looking for a solution for the TBB1 dump you encountered.
    This note deals with a special situation when executing tpm18 (which is the transaction for fixing and posting derived flows) in a test system after migration and it tells you you should run tpm18 in production before the technical upgrade.
    I am not sure if this really applies to your situation, maybe you should rather check if note 821854 and the solution therein can be helpful.
    But without more information (e.g. knowing more about your release, your 'migration history' and the part of the coding where the dump is raised), it is quite difficult to give a diagnosis.
    Maybe you should think of sending a customer message to SAP support via the SAP marketplace if you cannot get rid of this problem on your own.

  • Short dump with error RSW_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION while loading SRM data

    Hi All,

  • CSAP_MAT_BOM_OPEN Short Dump with CONVERT_MATNR_TO_INTERN_FORMAT

    Has anyone else had this issue? All help appreciated.
    I am using the function CSAP_MAT_BOM_OPEN to update a BOM. Running it generates a short dump with the following information:
    In PERFORM or CALL FUNCTION "CONVERT_MATNR_TO_INTERN_FORMAT", the actu
    al parameter "MATERIAL" is incompatible with the formal parameter "I_M
    ATNR".
    At first I thought my variable for the material number was bad so instead I gave it a literal value just to see if it gave me a problem and it did.
    Here is the snippit of code from my program where I give it an actual value:
       call function 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_OPEN'
            exporting
                 material = '000000000000123456'
                 plant = '1000'
                 bom_usage = '3'
                 valid_from = '20140703'
            importing
                 o_stko     = tstk2
                 fl_warning = flg_warning
            tables
                 t_stpo     = tstp2
            exceptions
                 error      = 1.
    Inside this SAP owned FM is the following:
       perform convert_matnr_to_intern_format using material
                                              changing csin-matnr
                                               hlp_subrc.
    convert_matnr_to_intern_format says this:
    form convert_matnr_to_intern_format
                                 using value(i_matnr) like csap_mbom-matnr
                                 changing o_matnr like csin-matnr
                                          value(subrc) like sy-subrc.
       data: conversion_call(30) type c value 'CONVERSION_EXIT_?_INPUT',
             conve(5)            type c,
             conv_exit(10)       type c.
       clear subrc.
       check not i_matnr is initial.
       describe field csin-matnr edit mask conv_exit.
       move conv_exit+2(5) to conve.
       replace '?' with conve into conversion_call.
       call function conversion_call
            exporting
                 input        = i_matnr
            importing
                 output       = o_matnr
            exceptions
                 not_found    = 04
                 length_error = 08
                 too_long     = 12
                 wrong_mask   = 16.
       subrc = sy-subrc.
    endform.

    Hi Richard,
    in fm CSAP_MAT_BOM_OPEN there is a single call of form convert_matnr_to_intern_format:
       perform convert_matnr_to_intern_format using material
                                              changing csin-matnr
                                                       hlp_subrc.
    where material is defined in the fm interface:
    function csap_mat_bom_open.
    *"*"Lokale Schnittstelle:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(MATERIAL) LIKE  CSAP_MBOM-MATNR
    In the form interface I_MATNR in include LCSAPFC1 is defined identically:
    form convert_matnr_to_intern_format
                                 using value(i_matnr) like csap_mbom-matnr
                                 changing o_matnr like csin-matnr
                                          value(subrc) like sy-subrc.
    So importing parameter of type CSAP_MBOM-MATNR is passed to field I_MATNR of type CSAP_MBOM-MATNR and there can't be any type conflict, if
    there is no modiffication in your system
    fm CSAP_MAT_BOM_OPEN and include LCSAPFC1 are active
    no parts of function group CSAP have been overwitten by importing a transport request into your system
    Please check this code snippets against those in your system.
    What can you do, if all is looking okay:
    Check the version history (fm and include) for suspicious transport requests.
    If no transport requests found, try to regenerate the fm, th include and the whole function group.
    Regards,
    Klaus

  • HT2822 Is there small (30" or less HD LED) TV that is especially easy to set up with Apple TV?

    Is there small (30" or less HD LED) TV that is especially easy to set up with Apple TV? Thank you.

    Any HDTV with an HDMI port will work.  Apple TV is very easy to set up, even easier if you have an Apple router, like the Airport Extreme.
    good internet connection is critical.  Low speed, dial up or DSL is often not fast enough for a good viewing experience as the video will load very slowly.

  • Quick Time interferes with my Macromedia Flash Player

    HELP!!!
    I downloaded the apple Quick Time and I-tunes player. It interferes with my Macromedia Flash program.
    When I go to the Macromedia main page instead of the latest flash player playing the flash files, I get a quick time Q with a ? mark in the middle of it, but no flash files play. I have uninstalled and re-installed flash and quick time, but continue to get the same result. Any Ideas?
    Please help.... I cannot see my flash files. I have totally uninstalled quick time and I-tunes. I would like to have them also, but there is a bad conflict between the two.
    I am looking for help!! Please!!

    This is the answer!!! It works!!! I wanted to share this with you. The two now work together!!!
    Let me know if it helps!!
    But going through QuickTime Player and choosing the QuickTime Preferences gets you to the same place.
    Again, though, you need to select the Browser tab in the QuickTime Settings window, click on the MIME Settings button, and deselect the Flash Media playback under the Miscellaneous file formats section. The File Types affects what QuickTime Player will handle, but you need to change the other setting to affect what the web browser plugin handles.

Maybe you are looking for
