  • Is the AppRF/firewall visibility can be disabled only through globally?

    Q: The AppRF/firewall visibility feature can only be disabled globally?
    A: AppRF/firewall visibility can be disabled within a user role as well.

    Probably the Windows firewall is ON too so when you launch VPC you get a conflict with 2 firewalls running (1 for MacOS X and 1 for Windows through VPC)

  • Global Catalog and Searching Child Domains

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm attempting to sync events from a parent domain and I want to include all child domains as well. The forest contains a parent domain with 2 child domains. In my adapter I have the following configuration specified:
    Container: DC=parent,DC=company,DC=com
    Search Filter: DC=parent,DC=company,DC=com
    Search Child Domain: Checked
    Global Catalog: DC1.parent.company.com (Domain Controller of the parent domain is configured as Global Catalog)
    When I attempt to sync domains from the child domain I recieve the following error:
    dn attribute not found in search result
    Does anyone have insight into what might be occuring. I can query the gc and can retrieve the events with no problem from other tools but IDM seems to always have an error for these child domain events. All comments or suggestions welcome. Thanks

    This is the actual error from the AS log if that helps:

  • Could not find any available Global Catalog in forest when running RemoteMailbox cmdlet

    My current Exchange environment is a hybrid configuration of Office 365, Exchange 2013 hybrid, and Exchange 2007 on-premise.
    I have a script responsible for enabling remote mailboxes and assigning O365 licenses to a list of users; essentially provisioning users an O365 mailbox. This script runs every hour through a defined scheduled task in the Task Scheduler.
    The script is proven to work but will intermittently throw an error on some days: "Could not find any available Global Catalog in forest root.xyz.com"
    Here are the nuances of the error when it does occur:
    It will only throw the error when the script is run via scheduled task - the script will work fine if executed from the command line
    The error occurs when "Enable-RemoteMailbox" or "Get-RemoteMailbox" is called.
    The same error will occur with ANY script that calls "Enable-RemoteMailbox" or "Get-RemoteMailbox" and is ran via scheduled task - even when the RemoteMailbox cmdlet was the only line in the script
    Here is the output and error when Get-RemoteMailbox -verbose is ran:
    VERBOSE: [15:49:52.474 GMT] Get-RemoteMailbox : Active Directory session

    What could be the cause of this intermittent error?
    Thanks for any help

    looks to me permission error as when you are running it via a schedule task is is not able to call exchange shell/ commands {confirm this} where as when you running this manually looks to me you open exchange shell, may be as admin also and then running
    the script.
    schedule task process is not able to get the permission..
    MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID
    Thanks
    Happiness Always

  • A Global Catalog Server could not be located - All GC's are down SBS 2011

    I have been searching through these forums and manage to find similar errors but am struggling to find an answer that applies to this me.
    I seem to be having a number of issues with our SBS. I believe this was originally domain was previously on a SBS 2003 box before being moved to this SBS 2011 box last year, it has been running fine until yesterday. I cant see anything that has changed then
    though.
    Everything seems to point to DNS although I am struggling to pinpoint the actual cause. The most worrying is when I try to open something on the SBS such as AD sites and services.
    the error is

    I found a few people who have had similar issues that was caused by the "netlogon" service being paused or stopped but in my case it is set to automatically start and is running.
    I have also posted this to serverfault  (cant post links yet serverfault.com/questions/522691/a-global-catalog-server-could-not-be-located-all-gcs-are-down) added as there may be info there that may help.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, hopefully someone out there has come across this before or can offer something in regards to the next steps I should take.

    Some troubleshooting ideas:
    0. Check if the DCs can resolve each other using their DNSHostName. If not, this indicates some DNS misconfiguration
    -- you need to fix that first.
    1. Check if the both the DCs are pointing to the same DNS server (or DNS servers that are replica of each
    other). Run: "ipconfig /all" and check its output. If not, correct the DNS client settings and run dcdiag after sometime.
    2. Check if dynamic updates are "turned on" on the DNS server.
    3. Try re-registering the DCs SRV records by either restarting netlogon service or by running the following

  • Global Catalog and IFM files

    What is the difference between when you "Install Domain Controller as a Global Catalog or without a Global Catalog"?

    When the first domain controller is installed on the network by default it becomes the global catalog server, when you install the additional domain controllers then you will have to manually specify the global catalog server in case if you want.
    The global catalog is a distributed data repository that contains a searchable, partial representation of every object in every domain
    in a multidomain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest. The global catalog is stored on domain controllers that have been designated as global catalog servers and is distributed through multimaster replication. Searches that are directed
    to the global catalog are faster because they do not involve referrals to different domain controllers

  • AppleScript (or Automator?): How to search through online сhеss games?

    Hello.
    I would like to search for specific online сhеss games. Each game has a single adress. We are talking about millions of games. Obviously, it's far too long to index all the games. So I will set a limit and use the script at night. Conditions should be something like this:
    For adress example.com/game=NumberA to example.com/game=NumberB
    Search every web page containing SpecificWord
    Store wanted web adresses somewhere (so I could see the games by myself during the day)
    As you can see, I know nothing about Applescript and I don't know how to start, nor how the script can pick up adresses. I think it's possible and not difficult to code, just time consuming for the program to search through thousands of games.
    Should I use AppleScript or Automator? Should the script open Safari (or Firefox if possible) or can it search without any browser? Is it possible to simultaneously search through multiple pages/adresses? Maybe I could write several scripts for different ranges of games? If so, how many pages can I open at once? For instance I could disable images in Firefox to load quicker. How much time does it need to search for one game? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds?
    Any easy tutorials, examples of similar codes, advices, hints or tips are appreciated.

    Thanks for answering. Sorry that I was so unclear. My main problem was how to get urls and games id as variables. But then I thought there already should be programs doing web crawling. I have found Scrapy which use Python language.
    (Maybe I should edit my question, add Scrapy and Python as tags instead of applescript and automator. Is it possible?)
    I have Mac OS 10.6.8, Python 2.6.1. Scrapy needs at least Python 2.7 so I have downloaded the last version of Python (3.3).  I think I can handle the programming in Scrapy thanks to their tutorial. The most difficult part should be... how to install Scrapy. Don't laugh at me.
    I have entered "sudo easy_install Scrapy" in the terminal. But the terminal still uses Python 2.6.1. Python 3.3 is installed but I don't know how to clean update Python. If anyone knows, feel free...
    When I write scrapy in the terminal, here is what I get:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/bin/scrapy", line 4, in <module>
        import pkg_resources
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 2556, in <module>
        working_set.require(__requires__)
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 620, in require
        needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 518, in resolve
        raise DistributionNotFound(req)  # XXX put more info here
    pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: lxml
    It seems Scrapy also needs something called lxml. Right now I am trying to make Python 3.3 the default python version. Is there a web crawler GUI which already includes Python, Scrapy, lxml?
    By default I also have Python 2.4 and 2.5. Does the system need them? I prefer not to delete system files but together all Python versions weigh 500 MB.
    In regard to the real example URL: let's say instantchess.com. Here's a game URL: http://www.instantchess.com/?EXP=1&GPI=84094532
    84094532 is the game id. Let's say I want to search every Reti openings (thus the page must contain the word "Reti") from id 84000000 to 85000000 and store games id in my computer. If I have understood correctly, I need to search through the source code of the pages.
    Feel free to add any remarks, suggestions, ideas.

  • Global catalog problem

    hello everyone
    in our company we are upgrading our DCs to server 2012R2 we have one Dc 2008R2 we installed another DC 2012R2 and make it GC from sites and services the problem appeared when I demoted the 2008 server I noticed that nobody in the company is able to log to
    the domain I realized that even the global catalog check mark is checked the server is not global catalog when I connect through ldap I see isglobalcatalogready : false I tried many solution to make it global catalaog but no success my solution was to shut
    down this server and restore the 2008 server from a previous backup now all the users can log to the domain but I only have one DC I tried to add another 2012R2 Dc but DCPromo fails on the prerequisite "check verification of outbound replication
    failed error reading the ntds settings on replication source controller" I installed another server 2008R2 server since there is no prerequisite check but the same problem occured the new DC is marked as GC but it's not GC I checked port 3268 I ran dcidag
    and this is the result

    Best

    In addition, I just wanted to point out that the error you are receiving below, can be indicative of some sort of firewall block. Antivirus apps can do this, too, with their network protection features.
    "check verification of outbound replication failed error reading the ntds settings on replication source controller"
    Do you have an AV on the machine, or the Windows firewall, or a third party firewall enabled?
    Run PortQRY to see if there are any ports blocked.
    PortQry GUI -
    Run the "Domains & Trusts" option between DCs, or between DCs and any machine (other servers you want to promote, or even from a client machine), that you want to test if there are any blocked AD ports. Post only errors with "NOTLISTENING," 0x00000001,
    and 0x00000002. You can ignore UDP 389 and UDP 88 messages. If you see TCP 42 errors, that just means WINS is not running on the target server.
           PortQryUI - GUI - Version 2.0 8/2/2004
    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24009
    Time issue?
    A time skew between DCs that is beyond 5 minutes, can cause it, too. Are the clocks on the new server and the current DCs within 5 minutes? Is the PDC emulator configured to sync time to an outside or to a local, reliable source?

    And of course we are all assuming that the new machine is definitely only using a current DC as the only DNS address in its NIC.

  • Help, error connection Cisco Identity Services Engine with AD, global catalog port status error

    Dear all,
    I have Cisco Indentity Services Engine, that  connected to Active Directory. When I test connection detailed,
    the result is error, said:
    Test Connection Results
    This dialog shows the detailed logs for the operation for: idsv0018.
    Status: FAILED: Global Catalog port status error.
    Can anyone help?
    I believe,  because this error, I can't search group of AD, at Cisco ISE.
    FYI: the connection from Cisco ISE to AD, joined with successful result.
    Thanks,
    Jerri

    It's clears that when ISE tries to  find the GC using the _gc._tcp. DNS query. It doesn't find that  information on the Domain controller. The GC information is missing on  the DC.
    gc._tcp.DnsForestName
    Allows a client to locate a Global Catalog (gc) server for this domain.

  • When exchange Domain Controller or Global Catalog servers?

    I have a few questions want to get your help.
    1,which situation exchange would contact with the Domain Controller, and which situation  exchange would contact with the Global Catalog servers?what's the difference?
    2,for the mailbox replication service, besides moving the mailbox ,and  DAD relevant operations, which situation mailbox replication service also contact with Dc?
    Please click the Mark as Answer button if a post solves your problem!

    Hi,
    About Question 1:
    For Exchange, GC is mainly for Address Book lookups. Exchange server access to the global catalog for address information.
    About DC, every domain controller contains the following three directory partitions.
    1. Configuration: Contains the Configuration container, which stores configuration objects for the entire forest in cn=configuration,dc= forestRootDomain.
    2. Schema: Contains the Schema container, which stores class and attribute definitions for all existing and possible Active Directory objects in cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc= forestRootDomain.
    3. Domain: Contains a < domain > container, which stores users, computers, groups, and other objects for a specific domain.
    For example, each Exchange Server object has the attribute Boolean messageTrackingEnabled. The Exchange server processes will turn on or off message tracking depending on the value of this attribute in the directory. This is an example of configuration data.
    Configuration data is stored in the Configuration partition of Active Directory, and this partition is replicated to every DC in the Forest. Therefore Exchange can potentially go to any DC to access this information.
    About Question 2:
    The Mailbox Replication Service is responsible for moving mailboxes, importing and exporting .pst files, and restoring disabled and soft-deleted mailboxes. All these options need to contact with DC.
    Best regards,

  • Lync Server 2013 dropping global catalog in forest

    I have an interesting issue. My Lync 2013 Server is connected to an AD network running at 2012. All my Lync 2013 clients can connect without issue, all the inherent Lync capabilities are functional (except desktop sharing, but that is another question for
    later), and I get no general errors from my server.
    However, when I go to administer to the system through PowerShell, or the Lync Command Console, I get the error:
    "Cannot find any global catalog in the forest "xxxxx.yyy""
    Therefore I cannot manage the server very well, if at all. Here is the real kicker. If I reboot the server, everything works great and I get no errors running admin powershell commands, or executing the Lync Command Console. This connectivity seems to work
    for random lengths of time from 1-6 hours or so before "losing" the global catalog again.
    Any thoughts on what is happening here?

    We are using Standard Edition, and the deployment wizard will not complete when I am getting this error message. However, it works fine when I reboot the Lync Server system and it "reconnects" with the global catalog.
    What I can't figure out is why it is "losing"the catalog, or really even where to start looking. Is that an Active Directory issue (Sites or other issue)? Is it a networking issue with DNS?
    When the server "loses" the global catalog Lync clients still function normally, I can ping the server (by IP, FQDN, and machine name) from another system. Lync continues to communicate with Exchange and archive conversations, etc.. It just won't
    run Lync powershell commands for admin, and the Lync Management Control Panelwon't recognize any login. It gives out a error stating "The application cannot verify your credentials" message.
    This makes me think there is an issue with AD, but not sure where to start since users are not affected at all. Could there be a replication issue or something?

  • Will Aperture search through "off-line" media

    I've been looking through Apple's tutorials on project management and posting on another forum but still having difficulty getting an answer on this.
    Currently, I'm using ACR and iView. Typically I'll store my digital photos into batches (either by project, vacation, or a range of numbers) and burn onto a CD or DVD when they reach a certain size (ie. enough to comfortably fit on a disk). I then use iView to build my catalogs and add keywords.
    When I use iView to keyword search, it will search through all the catalogs (I have them stored in one folder). The catalogs don't have to be open. When the search is complete, it will open a new window with thumbnails of the images and the location (ie. "Digital Photos Disk 9").
    The impression I get with Aperture is that the images have to be accessible "live". That is, on your HD or an external HD. The website says "Aperture tracks backup status and location of all images" yet says nothing - at least that I can find - about storing your images on CD/DVD.
    My question is: Does Aperture work the same way as iView when it comes to cataloging (Project-ing) and keyword search?
    TIA

    Yikes. Having gigs of images available "live" just
    isn't an option for me. I would never let them sit on
    a magnetic HD that's prone to failure anyway. Too
    many eggs in one basket.
    Maybe v2 ...
    In the meantime I'll stick with iView (as much as I'm
    not pleased they're part of the MS family now).
    Thanks for the info.
    I understand your sentiment. But I'd throw a bit of caution your way. Optical media not reliable.
    True, hard drives fail--all of them will eventually fail. Several of mine have. Indeed, so have a good number of optical discs, from DVD RAM to DVD-R/RW.
    The key is to have your data backed up. I used to keep my images online on a hard drive, then back up to DVD...twice, just in case. But I never really had the time to verify the integrity of the disk. I've tried to read some a week or month later and it failed. This has happened on reputable brands, and off-brands with about equal frequency...and these were disks that verified after writing.
    For me it's MUCH faster to have a set of hard drives I back up to and rotate the backups. I don't keep the backups online, so they won't wear out as fast. I keep them in separate locations to avoid natural disasters or theft. I rotate them regularly. Backup to a hard drive is convenient, fast, and relatively worry-free. Aperture Vaults make the process even more effective.
    Even if Aperture offered to write to DVD's, I wouldn't...but that's just me. It's slow to write to, difficult/time-consuming to verify, slow to read to from, and I never know if it'll be around when I need it to. Archiving my DVD's was a big pain. Having transferred my older files from a portion of my previous DVD's to the "live" hard drive verified for me how tedious and time consuming it is.
    I suppose it would be nice to write an occasional project to DVD from Aperture. But it is pretty easy using the Finder.

  • I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want  and then click on "Open" to use it.  Help!

    Hey PlayerPS,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

  • How can I disable "search as you type" in Finder windows?

    I have used OS X since it first came out and have upgraded to each version since then.  I am now on Lion.  I have endured "search as you type" for as long as it has been a "feature" and I must say that I am fed up with it, mainly because it slows me down.  It makes the computer "get in my way," which is the very anathema Steve Jobs sought to destroy with Apple.  My Mac should be a friendly tool that doesn't get in my way.  Most of the time it is, but not when it comes to Finder searches.
    Toward that end I wish to disable "search as you type" (or whatever the offical name for it is).  More specifically, I want to disable it in the search bar in the upper right corner of Finder windows. 
    I don't care about the Spotlight menu in the menubar, as I never use that and don't want to train myself to use it.  And I refuse to use an alternative search utility to Spotlight.  I want to use the search field in the upper right corner of Finder windows, AND NOTHING ELSE.  But at the same time, I want to kill "search as you type."  I want to be able to type as fast or slow as I like and have my computer not search for anything at all until I hit RETURN.  I don't want to argue about it.  That is the way I want it.  And again, I don't want to use a 3rd part utility, no matter how glorious some people may say they are because I stubbornly want to use the search bar atop every Finder window EXCLUSIVELY.
    Therefore, is there some Terminal hack to accomplish this feat?  If so, what is it?
    Many thanks for your time.  I look forward to hearing your solutions.
    --James Wages

    Having posted the initial question more than 1 week ago now, I must say that I am quite shocked and dismayed that not a single experienced individual among us in these forums has the knowledge to even approach my question!  Not even a reply to say "it cannot be done"!  Forgive me for being brash.  But is everyone on vacation? Or does no one know?  Or is everyone truly apathetic toward the existing functionality?
    If our computers were so lightning  fast that "search as you type" was instantaneous (i.e., displayed results a 50ms or so, and faster than I could notice such that my fingers were not slowed down at all as I type), I wouldn't have taken time to write about this.  But I put forth the initial question because of the inherent slowness of "search as you type" and therefore I wish to know how one would go about disabling it on an OS level (i.e., without having to resort to a third party app).
    I look forward to your insightful replies!
    Thank you.
