Directory Prep Tool v6.4 Question

The Sun Docs at http://docs.sun.com/source/819-7561/dirPrepTool.html#wp1036969 says:
"The upgrade of Directory Preparation Tool software to Version 6.4 takes into account the following considerations:
� Version 6.3 (2005Q4) Directory Preparation Tool was installed with Directory Server and resides on any computer hosting Directory Server.
� The upgrade of Directory Preparation Tool must be performed on the computer hosting every Directory Server instance being used by Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Communications Express, or Delegated Administrator components."
In the past we installed the DirPrep on one of our Msg machines and moved the comm_dssetup.pl & schema to all of the Directory Servers and ran it there. The SUNWcomds setup still looks about the same.
Is this process still ok?

Hi,
In the past we installed the DirPrep on one of our
Msg machines and moved the comm_dssetup.pl & schema
to all of the Directory Servers and ran it there.
The SUNWcomds setup still looks about the same.
Is this process still ok?You will need to upgrade the system which has the 2005Q4 SUNWcomds package first before copying the files (so the script/schema are updated to 6.4 version), but I don't see why this approach would stop working now.

Ldapmodify error when trying to run Directory Prep for Messaging install

Hi,
Has anybody else seen this? After installing Directory server when I run comm_dssetup.pl to do the preparation for Messaging I get an ldapmodify error.

Difference between prep tool and ds5

During the the installation of JES3 2005Q1 you are prompted with this option. I thought the ds prep tool was for setting up ds for messaging server? Please explain the differences and why do you have a choice between one or the other....
Based on product dependencies for your selections, the installer will install:
* * Sun Java(TM) System Directory Preparation Tool (303.30 KB)
[X] 18. Sun Java(TM) System Directory Server 5 2005Q1 (46.09 MB)

Hi,
Basically the configtool and offlinecfgeditor are the same thing, the configtool is more user friendly, but the offlinecfgeditor can be used to access certain files and configurations that the configtool doesn't have access to.
Any changes done in the configtool are made at a database level, the instances.properties only gets changed after the bootstrap process which involves pulling data from the DB, This is the reason the j2ee needs a restart after ant changes are done to DB by configtools as these core DB files (note just the ones that change the instance.properties) are only accessed during the bootstrap phase, (a start up phase). This is to avoid any inconsistencies.
The instance.properties.vmprop just contains information about the jdk in use and other simialar information (used for logs), it will only get created if it does not exist already, hence why it is recommended to delete this file after upgrading the jdk.
The instance.properties contains important paramters used during the start up of the j2ee system.
The java stack only syncs OS and DB parameters during start up time (bootstrap).
Kind regards,
Cathal

Cannot install Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool on Server 2012 w/ SQL Server 2012

I went to change a user password on the server today and after changing the password I logged into the SQL server to run “Import-module dirsync” & “Start-onlinecoexistencesync” in powershell in order to sync the new password with Exchange Online. After
waiting ten minutes I tried setting up the email on the user’s PC but the new password was not being accepted. I logged into Office 365 and I got the following warning.
"Warning: Last synced more than 3 days ago | Troubleshoot"
So I pressed troubleshoot and the site installed a tool on the server to try and find out what the issue was. After the tool ran it told me that the version of dirsync.exe was out of date and that I should download the new one and install it. So I downloaded
the new dirsync.exe (version 7020 I believe) and tried installing it. I kept getting error after error, different ones to boot.
First it told me I wasn’t part of the FIMSyncAdmins group (so I added myself), then it told me that it could not connect to MIIS server, so I tried starting it and windows said that there was a problem with the sign on used by the service so I had
to reset the password for the local user named “AAD_bfd1d6f0cef7” which was being used by that service. The service started successfully and when I went to install it told me I could not and if the problem persisted I should uninstall the old version and reinstall.
Looking in the log file, before I even install the software I see the following Information...
Level: Information
Date: 2015-03-24 12:49:17 PM
Source: Directory Synchronization
Event ID: 0
Task Category: None
"The current configuration of the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool is invalid. Please reinstall the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool."
So I tried to reinstall (i even manually uninstalled the old version and removed the folder in C:\Program Files\ called "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync") and on reinstall I get as far as "Installing Components" and then after a little
while it errors out with the error "The install was unable to setup a required component. Check the event logs for more information. Please try the installation again and if the error persists, contact Technical Support. "
Looking at the log file there are a bunch of new entries, created by the installer. There's over 300 new entries and I can not post them all here due to character count restriction. you can find the log file here...
www.clarkfreightways.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/dirsync_log.txt
Can anyone tell me what is going on, I've been looking through the log files and I can see errors but I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Greetings!
Wanted to know if you've hosted the DirSync tool (latest version) on a VM? Also, if this is deployed in a Production or Lab environment? If it's a lab setup, you may
try installing the DirSync on a new VM / Server (suspecting that it could be some machine related issues).
Here's a Support KB helping with different errors:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2684395
If its a production environment, would suggest to raise a
Technical Support Ticket for assisting further with break-fix.
Thank you,

Exchange and EOP and "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool".

Hi,
Since we are using our on-premises Exchange server and Microsoft EOP only for spam filter, and
we are not using the EOP created domain "XXXX.onmicrosoft.com" for anything.
Technically speaking, do we require
"Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool" to be installed and synchronizing all our AD to the EOP!
Thanks,

The Windows Azure Active Directory Sync Tool allows you to filter mail in EOP for nonexistent recipients. This is a pretty useful antispam feature that you'll be forgoing if you choose not to deploy the tool.

Exchange 2013 fails Active Directory Prep

This is a new, new, installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials followed by Exchange 2013, all on a single server that is also the DC, in a lab environment.   This is to replace an existing SBS2000 installation in a small business.
Server 2012 setup without any significant issues. The first pass at Exchange 2013 resulted in "access denied" when attempting to access the Exchange Management PS and login credentials failure for Exchange EAC (ECP).   After manually
adding the installation Administrator to a number of the Exchange security groups, I was able to access Exchange Manager. I checked that there was a mailbox associated with the Installation Admin ID, attempted to reset passwords and a number of other
things to no avail. I uninstalled Exchange (what a pain).
I reinstalled Exchange. As with the first time, no prerequisite errors and no installation failure alerts.   Again, I could not access Exchange Manager (access denied) or the EAC (login credentials failure).   This time, I was not
able change the security group permissions to gain access to Exchange Manager. Again, checked about everything there was to check on the web and found a reference to Exchange possibly not installing correctly due to lingering entries from the first install.
As I could not access Exchange Manager to perform the uninstall prerequisites, I attempted to manually delete it (nothing to loose at this point), but made the anticipated mess.
Wiped the RAID and started over with a clean sheet install of Server 2012 Essentials-OK. Progressed in the Exchange install prep to "Prepare Active Directory and Domains" (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125224(v=exchg.150).aspx)
and stopped when I could not detect the confirming ADSI entries of AD prep set forth at the close of the TechNet document.
I methodically stepped through the install procedure and again received no prerequisite failures or installation failure alerts. I examined the install logs and found no errors, either.
Any words of wisdom?

Hi,
From your description, Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Exchange 2013 are installed on a single server that is also the DC.
Microsoft does not support installing Exchange Server on a server that is running Windows Server Essentials. You need to install Exchange Server on a second server and then join the second server to the Windows Server Essentials domain.
And it is not recommended to install Exchange server on DC.
Here is a related article for your reference.

Color blender tool and other questions

Hey. I've got Photoshop CS4, which I've been using pretty successfully for digital and pixel art, but there's still a lot to the program that's unknown to me, and trying to google up an answer isn't getting me anywhere. I've got a few questions.
Is there some sort of color blender tool in CS4? By color blender, I mean something that will easily let me pick two separate colors and generate a range of colors that are between them. The tool at http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/ is an example of a program that does what I'm hoping Photoshop can do.
Is there a way to simultaneously view my canvas both zoomed in and at it actual size as I draw? This is mainly for pixel art, where the art close-up can look really different from the actual product. A little actual-sized canvas in the corner of my screen that updated as I made changes to the art in zoom in would save me the time I spend fiddling with magnifying glasses.
Is there was way to keep the smudge tool at full opacity? When using it, smudging edges of color onto a blank space makes them start to get transparent. As of now I just get rid of it by multiplying the layer a few times and then merging, but is there a way to disable that?
If there are no definite ways to do these things, any suggestions or guides you know of would be useful too. Thanks!

Hello!
Select the gradient tool, it is an alternate tool to the paint bucket one (Hit Shift+G until you see it replace the Paint Bucket tool)
Double-click on the gradient you see in the option bar, you will then get the gradient editor http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-77dfa.h tml
Double-click on the first color stop to get an eyedropper, sample your first color, do the same with the end one, and the second color.
Once your gradient is created, you'll be able to lay down a gradient, and pick the middle color with the eyedropper tool.

Hello,
I was surfing the threads to see what is going on until I saw this posts and I was stopped to download this tool. It is a great tool Meinolf ! I downloaded it and trying to check all the reports. So far so good my friend. Also I was amazed once I saw the
nice "Trust Relationship" icon. Every time I run this tool I will definitely check for Trust Relationships first. :)
In addition I was wondering how it is possible to inform you about a method in order to improve the design in this tool?

Directory Server 5.2patch4 index question

Hello,
Hopefully just a really simple question about indexes. After creating indexes from the console, do you have to restart the ldap server for it to actually start using the indexes. The reason I ask, is that we have setup a box with ldapclient to authenticate user against an ldap server. We ran the idsconfig and such and we can authenticate, but it is really slow. We have some share directories setup where there are say 5-20 members in groups and when we do an ls -la on the directory it takes about 5 seconds for each directory listing to show up and the ldap server cpu utilization jumps. We also see an unidex search error in the ldap error log file. Also when I do an ldaplist group it is very slow. We have about 25000 groups.
Any help would be greatly apprecidated.
Thanks,
Gary

When you have created new indexes with the Console (or via CLI), you MUST build / rebuild indexes. It is not because you've configured an index that the data in the Directory has been indexed properly.
The separation between configuring an index and building it allows you to do the later when it has little impact to client application.
No server restart is needed.
The Directory Server Administration Manual, Managing Indexes chapter covers this topic.

Ludovic.

Active directory reporting tool

Hi ALL,
Anyone could help me in finding reporting tools for Active directory
Thanks

Are you looking for real time monitoring tool or health checkup tool. Event viewer can be used to find the issues in the DC's.
DCDIAG is best tool to analyze the health of the AD, Repadmin for monitoring replication, DNSlinit for DNS etc.
What does DCDIAG actually… do?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/03/22/what-does-dcdiag-actually-do.aspx
For GPO AGPMC(Advanced group policy management console), GPinventory etc can be used.
For FRS/DFSR, you can use FRSDIAG tool, SONAR etc.

Tool tip - another question

I am trying to add tool tips to 'Rollover Image' in DV CS3. I
found some nifty tool tip script at '
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/'
under
'Cool DHTML Tooltip II'.
Normally when the mouse moves over a 'Rollover Image' the
image changes image (image_over feature). I my case it is the same.
Now after I install the script for the above tooltip, and when the
mouse is over the image, the tooptip message displays but the image
does not change to the image_over image. I looked into the
documentation and found that the 'onMouseOver' command needs some
tweeking.
So my question is; what do I need to change in the link for
'onMoveOver' so that when the mouse is moved over it, it allows two
actions: (1) display the tooltip and (2) change to 'OVER' image.
FYI, I am pretty new to DV so give a detailed answer.

Let's see your page.

MIME directory in WDJ Tutorial #2: Question 1 of 2

On page 26 of WDJ tutorial #2 (Creating Extended WD App), it says to store the MIME objects in
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.tutorials.quiz.Quiz
But the directory
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.tutorials.quiz.QuizComp
is already there (created automatically by NWDS.)
Does the tutorial REALLY mean "Quiz", or does it mean "QuizComp"?
This is question 1 of 2 - see next post for related question ...

If you want to use images in UI elements and want to simply use the image file name as property value (e.g. in Image.source), you have to put the images into folder
src/mimes/components/<qualified-component-name>
for the component containing the view with the UI elements. The runtime is then able to create the correct URL from the file name automatically.
Otherwise, you would have to create the URL in your application by yourself.
