EoMPLS on 6500s that are vtp servers

I need layer 2 from DC to DC and Im in the home stretch and it wont let me do the vlan I need because my cats are vtp servers.
Is there a way to use an extended vlan number for the sub-interface encapsulation and trick my standard vlan number to traverse that VC?
I have the VC up and working on as if it was vlan 1199 and I really need it to be 199

any creative workaround would be greatly appreciated.

each 7304 connects to an MPLS cloud via an ATM interface (OC3) and I actually have MPLS working but I cannot get the l2 vc up. Core - 7304 - mpls cloud - 7304 - core
G0 - 7304 - atm 4/0
I believe its due to placement of the sub interface, but options are limited.

Domain Controllers that are DNS servers DNS Client settings

[Copying verbatim from a mail by Joe ]
So I have been pinged by a few folks recently on configuration of client DNS settings on Domain Controllers that are also functioning as DNS Servers. Lots of debate. I understand there has been long time debate within MSFT as well.
From http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/07/17/friday-mail-sack-saturday-edition.aspx there
is the quote
"3.When referencing a DNS server on itself, a DNS client should always use a loopback address and not a real IP address."
From http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=9166 (Windows
Server 2008 R2 Core Network Guide)
"9. In Preferred DNS server, type the IP address of your DNS server. If you plan to use the local computer as the preferred DNS server, type the IP address of the
local computer.
10. In Alternate DNS Server, type the IP address of your alternate DNS server, if any. If you plan to use the local computer as an alternate DNS server, type the IP address of
the local computer."
From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378900(v=ws.10).aspx (DNS:
DNS servers on <adapter name> should include their own IP addresses on their interface lists of DNS servers)
"The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain controller and it points only to
itself for name resolution, it can become an island and fail to replicate with other domain controllers. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should
be configured only as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller...
Add the loopback IP address to the list of DNS servers on all active interfaces. The loopback IP address should not be the first server in the list."
ESPECIALLY "For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should be configured only as a secondary or tertiary
DNS server on a domain controller." and "Add the loopback IP address to the list of DNS servers on all active interfaces. The loopback IP address should not be the first server in the list."
Why shouldn't loopback not be first, the justification is why you shouldn't only use loopback, not why it shouldn't be first.
From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff807362(v=ws.10).aspx (DNS:
DNS servers on <adapter name> should include the loopback address, but not as the first entry)
"If the loopback IP address is the first entry in the list of DNS servers, Active Directory might be unable to find its replication partners.
The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain controller and it points only to itself,
or points to itself first for name resolution, this can cause a delay during startup. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should be configured only
as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller."
This also seems like justification against only using loopback versus using it first.
Are there any actual real documented issues for using loopback first and a remote DNS server second and perhaps third? If the local DNS server service isn't working yet (or at all), I would expect the DNS Client process
to try to connect to it, fail, and then failover to the secondary just like I would expect it to failover if the remote DNS server was secondary and it was unavailable and it failed back to the loopback. Am I making a bad assumption?
And by documented I don't mean random responses to questions on the internet or other such items. I mean a KB article or technet article or properly researched and tested other web article from a reliable resource.
thanks,
joe

As I understand it, the scenario whereby a DC could become an 'island' if it points only to itself, or to itself first, was repaired in the Windows Server 2003 product cycle. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275278 for information about this scenario.
However, there is still a known problem of slow boot times that can occur. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2001093 for information about this. The scenario that is discussed assumes there is a power failure and servers shut down due to overheating while on backup power. When
multiple servers come online simultaneously after power is restored, there can be a significant delay.
The recommended configuration is one that avoids a single point of failure, but also tries to optimize the speed of resource record registration, so that Active Directory can properly synchronize.

Do we have any method to list out the servers that are critical and the component/monitor causing the server to turn into critical state in SCOM 2012

Hello Team,
We are monitoring 1000 servers in our environment and out of 1000 servers, we have approximately 100 servers showing as critical state on the server state view.
We can get the critical servers list from SCOM console, but we are not able to get the information about the component responsible for the server to be critical. Using Health explorer to find the root cause for 100 servers is really impossible and time consuming.
Do we have any method to list out the servers that are critical and the component/monitor causing the server to turn into critical state?
Advance thanks for your help.
Regards,
Dinesh
Thanks & Regards, Dinesh

Hi,
As far as I know alerts with severity as criticla may cause windows computer in a critical state, we can try below code to find all critical alerts：
get-alert -criteria 'ResolutionState=0 AND Severity=2' | select Name,ResolutionState,TimeRaised | export-csv c:\Alerts.txt
Criteria Syntax http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb437603.aspx
Values to use.
Resolution State
Severity Values for Alerts
0 = New
0 = INFORMATIONAL
255 = Closed
1 = WARNING
2 = CRITICAL
Hope this helps.

How do I back up documents that are stored in iCloud to my own hard drive?

The trouble is, however I search for an answer to this question, I get instructions on how to back up stuff TO iCloud.
I want to back up stuff that applications like Pages and Numbers are already storing IN iCloud.
See, I don't want to have to trust iCloud to safely store my documents. Not unless there are copies somewhere that I can fall back on if (it's really only a matter of when) something goes fatally haywire in iCloud.
It's easy enough to do with a service like, say, Dropbox, which treats my "cloud-stored" files like they are in a folder on my hard-drive. So when I run either a local (Time Machine/Capsule) or a cloud (Crashplan, in my case) backup, those files get backed up. So I have at least three copies of those files - in Dropbox, on my Time Capsule, and on Crashplan's servers.
So how do I do that with docs that are stored in iCloud? Apple wants me to store stuff in iCloud - if I have iCloud enabled and want to save a doc to another destination, there are multiple steps I want to go through. And I'm fine with using iCloud if I'm creating documents that I want to be able to access from my iOS devices as well.
Yes, I can do that with Dropbox, but it's less seamless than doing it through iCloud.
But I want my own backups of those files, and near as I can tell, Apple makes that nearly impossible because iCloud does not show up anywhere as a folder that I can access or sort.
Or does it? Am I missing something?
If so, let me know.... if not... is there a solution to this dilemma, or is it just one more aspect of iCloud that Apple has not clearly thought through?
Thanks,
--PS

Right. You didn't read the post, you only read the title.
The title came from an earlier step in the process when I was posing a question to the systen.
The pertinent part of the question is "How to I back up documents that are stored in iCloud"
That the destination for the backup is NOT my internal HDD should be clear from the rest of the post.
And frankly, even if that is where I want to back up to, that would at least give me two copies, at least giving me one duplicate of the stuff on iCloud.
So please stop wasting my time if you can't answer the actual question: How do I backup content that is stored in iCloud. The destination of the backup is irrelevant.

Deploying the SCCM 2012 Client to WES 7 devices that are locked down with the FBWF using 2007 task sequence via WEDM.

I'm wondering how people are migrating their embedded devices that are using the FBWF. I've done some googling and it seems like most people are just re-imaging the devices and after migrating a single device i see why. Its not a pretty process. This will
be a long description but ultimately my question stems more from trying to find a better way to execute the device migration from 2007 to 2012.
Some back ground on my situation might be in order here. I'm in the process of wrapping up our 2007 to 2012 migration. We have a 2007 infrastructure that was a central server with 2 primaries and 286 secondary site servers. I've consolidated that to a single
2012 primary site server that hosts all the main roles. There are 2 more servers in the data centers both operating solely as push distribution points I'll refer to them as 2012 01 02 and 03. I'm over half way through the migration and so far haven't needed
to offload any site roles. There are almost 10,000 clients now reporting to the 2012 site server and almost a 100 field servers pulling content from 2012 02 as their source dp as pull dp is the only way forward for this many devices. I've read the horror stories
of trying spin up 200 plus push dps. We are running PKI. I'm at the point now where i need to start migrating the Windows Embedded Seven Standard clients that have the 2007 sccm client on them with WEDM for write filter handling.
What i'm wondering is if anyone has any pointers for me regarding migrating the WES 7 devices. My plan that i've come up with is to somehow script the process using a 2007 WEDM Task Sequence to try and migrate them over to 2012. Things are complicated as
I need to somehow script the install, the policy checkin, hardware inventory, software inventory, and validate the SCEP client installs before I reboot the device one last time to enable the FBWF. How I handled the SCCM 2007 client install on these devices
when they were provisioned was to just create a batch file that would sleep for ten minutes then check to see if the inventoryagent.log file had been created yet. I realize now that is inefficient as i can kick off the inventory using a WMI method once the
client has installed. Also I need to make sure the machine gets its first policy as that is how it creates the communication using PKI through that first policy transfer and that also finalizes the client install. The biggest piece i'm uncertain about in this
regard is the SCEP client.
I had to change the SCEP client install from yes to no in the default client settings as we have some Mcaffee servers that can't have the SCEP client on them. I have incremental updates enabled on the collection that has the policy that installs the SCEP
client but this will take an unknown amount of time unless i force the environment to update as the device starts in 2012 install, or if I could kick off the SCEP isntall... IDK. I'm also wondering if i should keep the device in the migration process until
i validate it has its proper scep policy applied which I believe can be validated by a registry key somewhere.
Once the 2012 client gets installed will that cause it to lose its place within the 2007 Task Sequence? Considering its going to take a minimum of 2 reboots I'd normally use the task sequence to handle its progression through the process.
I'm also considering trying to use an Orchestrator runbook, as that would be a good way to keep track of the migration process as each device migrates. Especially since this might take several seperate scripts.
I'm going to take a stab at scripting the migration process, but if anyone has any pointers that might make this a less complicated I'd really appreciate it as I've got about 3000 of these devices that need to be migrated over. The other things i've learned
the hard way is any time you have something this complicated over the course of 3000 devices you will run into unknowns and the failure rate increases. I'm in the precarious position of having to not only build this process out but in some situations have
it complete in the shortest amount of time possible as we have sites running 24x7. I know the end users behavior all to well and they will just keep hitting the power button sometimes even though their not supposed to so they can get their device functional
again. In those situations i'd end up, if i'm lucky with a device that no longer has a healthy SCCM client in either environment and the write filter disabled.
So like i said any pointers anyone could throw my way i'd really appreciate. I manually went through the migration process on a single device for proof of concept and ended up with almost 2 pages of pseudo code for my migration script/scripts.
Thanks,
-K.R.

Hi,
In R2 there are some new variables you can use to solve this,
http://ccmexec.com/2014/12/smstsmplistrequesttimeout-value-in-milliseconds/
In Sp1 though adding a step to sleep for 2-5 minuter after reboot and before the application install step is a common workaround.. a powershell command with "Start-Sleep
-s 120" should do it.

Sql backup best practice on vms that are backed up as a complete vm

hi,
apologies as i am sure this has been asked many times before but i cant really find an answer to my question. so my situation is this. I have two types of backups; agent based and snap based backups.
For the vm's that are being backed up by snapshots the process is: vmware does the snap, then the san takes a snap of the storage and then the backup is taken from the san. we then have full vm backups.
For the agent based backups, these are only backing up file level stuff. so we use this for our sql cluster and some other servers. these are not snaps/full vm backups, but simply backups of databases and files etc.
this works well, but there are a couple of servers that need to be in the full vm snap category and therefore cant have the backup agent installed on that vm as it is already being backed up by the snap technology. so what would be the best practice on these
snapped vms that have sql installed as well? should i configure a reoccurring backup in sql management studio (if this is possible??) which is done before the vm snap backup? or is there another way i should be backing up the dbs?
any suggestions would be very welcome.
thanks
aaron

Hello Aaron,
If I understand correctly, you perform a snapshot backup of the complete VM.
In that case you also need to create a SQL Server backup schedule to perform Full and Transaction Log backups.
(if you do a filelevel backup of the .mdf and .ldf files with an agent you also need to do this)
I would run a database backup before the VM snapshot (to a SAN location if possible), then perform the Snapshot backup.
You should set up the transaction log backups depending on business recovery needs.
For instance: if your company accepts a maximum of 30 minutes data loss make sure to perform a transaction log backup every 30 minutes.
In case of emergency you could revert to the VM Snapshot, restore the full database backup and restore transaction log backups till the point in time you need.

Will Blurb correct images that are too light or too dark to print nicely?

I have two calibrated monitors and am submitting a book to Blurb. One monitor is brighter than the other--, that the images look fine on one and too dark on the other. I could changed the brightness, but how do I knwo which is correct for Blurb?what does Blurb see and do they correct images that are all too dark or too light?

Blurb does not correct anything in the uploaded pictures. This is stated clearly on their website; read up under <Color Management>.
It does not matter at all if your image looks fine on the monitor. What matters is if the color numbers of the image are correct. Blurb will print according to the color numbers.
The color numbers of your image will be displayed correctly on the monitor if it is properly calibrated to the industry standard of 6500 K and a gamma 0f 2.2 and if the intensity (brightness) of the monitor is set correctly.
Do this: calibrate both your monitors and set the target value for brightness (intensity) to a value between 100 - 110 cd/m2. This value is considered correct as it will give you prints that match the monitor in brightness.
The best test for checking for how images will look in a blurb book is this: Print the images as sRGB on your own printer. You can do this in two ways:
a) Export the image as JPG in sRGB in the size it will be printed. You can do this from the Book Module, Re-import it into Lr and print from Lr.
b) Don't export the image just print from Lr by selecting <Managed by printer> as the profile and set your printer to sRGB.

It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today. I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.

CC showing updates for CC apps that are NOT part of my subscription

Ok,
Aside from the massive annoyance with the duplicate versions (why didn't they just include both plugin system for a couple of versions?), I've got "updates" for apps that are NOT part of my CC subscription showing up. I have a full suite of CS6 installed, but only the Photographers bundle for CC. Yet I'm showing Illustrator and InDesign CC (2014) as available. It also shows TWO lightroom 5's - one up to date, and one that needs an update.
What gives?

That still doesn't explain why I'm seeing two different lightroom installations in the CC list - one up to date, and one that's available. I've previously installed/updated Lightroom through CC by the way. But when I do run Lightroom it also prompts me to upgrade (which I haven't done either). Something looks badly broken in the LR update process.
And it doesn't address the available updates for applications (InDesign and Illustrator CS6) that aren't part of my CC subscription. Since I'm now at the mercy of the CC licensing servers, I'm rather hesitant to risk corrupting my entitlements by doing anything until I understand why my entitlements are incorrect.
Can you help me understand why they are incorrect?

Are VTP config lines not included in configurations?

I've multiple switches, with the core being in "Server" and the connecting switches being "Clients". All of these devices show information when executing "sh vtp status", for example - but none of them have any VTP-related configuration statements. I was expecting to see things like "vtp password <password>", "vtp mode server", etc. Are VTP configuration statements not included/displayed when you execute a "sh run", etc.?

Hi,
I believe this is down to the fact that the commands are configured using the "vlan database" which is not part of the privilege mode configuration, its a dat file stored in flash that must be loaded seperatly to the start-up config when the switch boots.
The same is true on my 3750 switches for VLANs and VTP information that's been configured in this way

switchport access vlan 4
switchport access vlan 104
switchport access vlan 4
switchport access vlan 4
switchport access vlan 4
The VLAN configuration only shows which ports have statically configured VLANs.
I believe all these commands are stored in the vlan.dat file in flash:
