Directory change question

Before I did a clean install of leopard i exported my iphoto library to an external drive (where the original photos reside). After the leopard install i opened up iphoto (while holding down OPTION) and changed to my exported iphoto library. the thumbnails are there and fine but every time i click on a photo iphoto asks me to locate the original file.
is there a way i can just direct iphoto to the appropriate folder(s) and let it just figure out where all the images are, the filing structure is exactly the same as it was when i exported the library from tiger.
i have thousands and thousands of photos and individually pointing them out for iphoto is too tedious and time consuming, please help.
i am using the new ilife'08
thanks

If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about finding the files, that can be easily done from the iPhoto Window or a Media browser.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

Active directory change question regarding affects on exchange 2013

Good day,
I have some universal security groups that are meant to be distribution groups in a 2008 R2 active directory forest. These groups are being utilized by exchange 2013, I plan on turning these groups into global distribution groups in active
directory (all changes will be made in active directory only, not in exchange).
Question is; What will happen to the mail boxes using this group? Will it break the mailbox? How will users be affected?
I plan on doing testing of my own but if someone else has already done this and has ran into issues this will help me out greatly.

Hi ,
Mail enabled security groups can be used for two purposes.
1.Used to distribute emails to its members.
2.Unlike mail enabled Distribution groups , Mail enabled security groups will have SID value , so it can be mapped on any resources (for eg : share folder ) to get the access permissions to it members.
In your case ,You would like to change the scopes for the mail enabled security groups ,Before changing the group scopes just have a look in to the following link which states clearly about the group scopes and its usage.

UPS Service Account Replicate Directory Changes Permissions through AD group?

I am trying to configure the UPS.
Is it possible to grant the sync account SP-UPS Replicate Directory Changes permissions through an AD group or do these permissions need to be granted exclusively using ADSI edit?

you can add a group or user name using the ADSI, that's what you want to know or something else?

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

FTP Receiver without directory change

Hello,
we have to upload data to an FTP server which does not allow directory changes. Problem is that the directory field in the FTP receiver communication channel is mandatory so we get an error message.
Is there any workaround for this?
Thank you.

Try to use a dot (.) as directory (means current directory).

Event From Directory Change

Is there a way I can get an event from a directory change? I've looked into FileSystemWatcher but from what I could gather, that would only notify my of a change within a directory. I wanted something that tells me exactly what changed. i.e. if a new file was added, changed, renamed etc. Instead of throwing a general event, where I would than have to compare the changes to the previous state, i.e. file names within the directory, file sizes etc. Basically it would save alot of post processing work. Since I haven't seen anything of this nature in the forums, it might not be posible, but I thought I'll ask just incase.
Thanks
Kas

Be advised that individual applications can generate multiple FileSystemWatcher events for what you as a consumer would treat as a single event.
Something as simple as saving a file in notepad can generate 7 or 8 events.
The link below is not LabVIEW related, but does point out how FileSystemWatcher works...

Root is running Sun One Directory Proxy Question ?

While i was installing the directory proxy server, i gave all root to own the files? Is Sun One Directory Proxy suppose to run as root or can i run as non-root user ?

You can (and probably should) run as a non-root user, assuming you're running on a port above 1024.
If you've already installed as root, and root owns all the files, the following should theoretically work:
- Shut down DPS
- Edit <dps-root>/etc/dpsDefaultConfiguration.ldif, and change the ids-proxy-con-userid attribute to the user ID you would like the server to run as
- Modify the same entry in the directory server that holds your proxy's configuration information, like:
ldapmodify -h config_dir_host -p config_dir_port -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
dn: ids-proxy-con-config-name=<instanceName>,ou=system,ou=dar-config,o=NetscapeRoot
changetype: modify
replace: ids-proxy-con-userid
ids-proxy-con-userid: <same value as you put in the LDIF file above>
- Change the ownership of all the files in the DPS install directory
- Change over to the user that you selected and try to start the DPS process

Replication Directory Changes _ Permission in Domain

As per the requirement from an application which will be integrated with AD and we need to grant a service ID the Replicating Directory Changes to Active Directory.We are concerned that we might accidentally let the service ID write data in Active
Directory, or have somebody abuse the service ID and can change Active Directory data.
Does somebody know what rights are part of "Replicating Directory Changes"
"Replicating Directory Changes All" and "Filtered Attribute Set"?

Security Question Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 - Home User Directory Changed

I logged into my unix account and was unable to update any folders or create files. The ownership has changed. This is the second occurrence where the first time the tech support denies it occurred. Didn't have any screenshots... Now I have screenshots for evidence. How can I determine when this happened or the user responsible?

I logged into my unix account and was unable to update any folders or create files. The ownership has changed.Your description is not much help. It does not provide any information, such as:
<ol>
<li>What was the new file permissions? (Hint: ls -ld $HOME)
<li>What file ownership should the directory have? (Hint: ls -ld $HOME after the file permissions are repaired.
<li>Were you logged on to the system when the change occurred?
<li>How is the $HOME directory mounted? Local disk? NFS mount? SAN? Thumb drive?
<li>Who else was logged into the system when this happened?
<li>Did this happen after a system reboot?
<li>What did tech support actually do to repair the file permissions?
</ol>
In other words, give us a glimmer of an idea about your issue.

Open Directory Migration Question

Setup:
My company has two servers, both running 10.5.6. We are migrating from the server Fubar (xserve) as it has had a lot of problems and we want to do a fresh install on it (I was not the admin who initially set it up).
In order to get a 'fresh' OD going, we are recreating all the accounts on the new server Edoras (powerpc mac pro), making sure to preserve UID of the users.
Problem:
User A cannot change his password on Edoras after Directory Utility has been changed to point at it. He can change his password locally, but it does not propagate to Edoras, nor does a password change on Edoras affect his local machine.
The questions I haven't been able to get answers for are:
* Should the OD search string be different on Fubar and Edoras? Currently our search string is 'dc=fubar,dc=domain,dc=com'.
* Are there other attributes that have to be setup in OD besides UID? I noticed when using the Target tab in Workgroup Manager that there is a GeneratedUID attribute, does this need to match?
Thanks for any information/help.

I did something like this recently. Unfortunately I couldn't get an answer on the Internet and had to re-configure Directory Access on the client machines manually.
I moved our system from a POwerMac G4 with several upgrades (eSATA card, eSATA Coolgear Enclosure, 7200.11 (yeah I know, bad drives to use) Seagate drives, 1.8 GHz PPC 7447 upgrade, 1.5GB of ram) to a new Mac Pro with a Highpoint RAID controller. The old G4 was very unreliable and couldn't hand
I had to go to each machine with ARD, open Directory Access, delete the LDAP entry and re-enter it. This was really annoying and confusing for me as the old server and the new server had:
The same version of OSX (ok, one was a PPC version and I special ordered the Intel version from Apple Tech Support), but they both were running 10.4.11 with the newest security patches.
The same OD Search Strings
The same IP Address for the Server
The same DNS name for the server
and the same user IDs and group settings
and I still had to re-do Directory Access using the client machines. Before re-doing the Directory Access re-binding I would try to login. The "other" icon would appear on the loging window, but when I would loging with the correct username and password the login windows would "shake it's head" and wouldn't let me login.
The biggest pain was that portable directories didn't sync correct anymore, so I had to manually backup, then delete the account, then re-bind, then re-create and restore the portable directory on each laptop manually.
Unfortunately I do not know the unix command to change directory binding to client computers using ARD. If such a command exists it would make things much easier for you. Does anyone know if a command exists?

Open Directory Keychain Question

I have set up open directory on my domain but I am having trouble with Keychain access over the network when users logging into network accounts. Whenever I log in using open directory, I can open all of my applications, however each time I log in to my user account all of my keychain passwords are reset. I can look into the user preferences file and see the keychain file, but for some reason whenever a user logs out the changes to it are lost.
Is Keychain access supported when network mounting user folders? If so, what is the proper way to implement keychain access?

I have 2 Apple servers. One is running 10.6 (server), the other is running 10.5 (server). I have my Open Directory on the 10.6 server, and I have the 10.5 server use it via LDAP for user authentication. What I'd like to do is to assign a home directory on the 10.5 server for users in the 10.6 Open Directory. Any ideas?
This should work the same way as normal.
Define the user accounts in Open Directory as normal via Workgroup Manager
On the 10.5 Server, set up a share point, usually AFP is used as the protocol, this is done in Server Admin
On the 10.5 Server, set up that share point to be an Automounted share for user home directories, this will register that share in Open Directory assuming you have already successfully connected the 10.5 Server to Open Directory system, this is also done in Server Admin
Go back to Workgroup Manager select a user account you want to store on the 10.5 server, click on the Home tab, you should now see the 10.5 share point listed as an available choice for storing home directories.
Click on the 10.5 share point and save the user account.
I normally now click on create Home directory, although this happens automatically when a user logs in for the first time.
It is perfectly ok to mix 10.5 and 10.6 servers in this manner. The client machines can also be a different version e.g. 10.4
What you are doing above even though you are mixing 10.5 and 10.6 servers, is the same as you would do to spread the workload of user home directories across multiple servers. While handling user home directories does not cause a massive amount of CPU activity (or memory use) it does cause a significant amount of disk activity and therefore at a certain level spreading user accounts across multiple servers is recommended.

Active Directory Connector Questions in 11.1.2.1

Hello All. I am new to this version of IDM and I am trying to get through the setup and config. I just installed a single instance of 11.1.2.1 with OUD, OAM, OIM. I installed the Active Directory connector for User Management and I believe I have it configured.
I followed the post at Weblogic Corner: Oracle Identity Manager: The Active Directory Connector Tutorial and got a lot of questions answered with that. First, note that I was able to follow the guide and run the lookup recon jobs as well as the user and group recon in trusted mode, then target mode to create all of the users and groups. I am also able to create a user in OIM, add an account and have that provisioned to AD.
Here are my questions if you would be so kind:
1) When I create a user in AD and I run the user recon(target), the event says "No User Match Found". I was kind of expecting it to create a new user for me. I was also expecting to schedule the recon job in target mode and not have to ever switch back to trusted mode after the first full sync. What did I miss here?
2) When I add an account to the user in OIM, the AD User form comes up with all the fields empty. Is that the way it should work? I was hoping that it would prepopulate some of the stuff from the OIM profile.
3) When I modify a field in OIM, say middle name, will that sync in the next recon run, or will the admin need to open the account, update the AD form also and submit the middle name in two places?
Thanks in advance!

1. Identity gets created in Oracle Identity Manager from an authoritative source. in case of target recon, it will just sync with the matched account in oim.
please have a look in the below link seccion 12.1.12
Managing Reconciliation - 11g Release 2 (11.1.2)
2.u can very well prepopulate filed in the process definition, even u can automate the provisioning process using role based when provissioning process.
3.there should be some tasks available for each field. no need run the recon task or modify the account in AD. it will be updated in AD using the tasks. check the connector process definition.

Virtual Directory Change from Oracle HTTP Server to Embedded PL/SQL Gateway

We finally upgraded from htmldb 1.6 to ApEx 3.1.2 late last year. This was in conjunction with setting up a new server and installing Oracle 11g DB, while our production DB is still 10g. During this install, I opted for the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway, whereas our htmldb is running with the Oracle HTTP Server.
During the conversion of one of our applications I learned that Virtual Directory references to #IMAGE_PREFIX# are no longer valid for custom CSS so I had to change an entry in the page templates that I'm using to use #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#. Now I am importing another application from our htmldb 1.6 environment to our ApEx 3.1.2 environment, and I have a new problem that I think is related.
In this application we have been uploading report files for outside users to be able to download at their convenience. I think the upload is working OK, but when I try to download the report file I get the following:
Not found
The requested URL /apex/IMR.ofile was not found on this server.
The download is accomplished with a link on an SQL Report region. The Column Link info is:
Link Text = <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#edit_big.gif" border="0" alt="Icon 1">
Target = URL
URL = #OWNER#.ofile?p_file=#VIEW_REPORT#&v_auth=&APP_USER.
When I change the Link Text to <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#edit_big.gif" border="0" alt="Icon 1"> I lose the Edit Icon image. However, what I'm really concerned about is the URL not found error
Now, maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, so if the problem isn't related to virtual directories, which tree should I be barking up?
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Gregory

Is the IMR.ofile a custom package for downloading files? If so, you might need to add it to the wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local function.
I am not certain how this function also plays into the embedded pl/sql gateway, but do know it would affect this running through Oracle HTTP server when configured with the before proc.
With the embedded gateway it may very well be that you need to add this package into the ACL for outside availability.
