Exclude Servers for Automatic Client Deployment/Upgrade

We have 2012 SP1 and are planning the move to R2. We have automatic client upgrade enabled in the site settings. Is there a way to exclude Server OS client upgrades while this feature is enabled? In my reading there are times when the client
upgrade will reboot the systems at will due to a pre-requisite installing such as a security update.
We cannot have the servers rebooting at will. It will be difficult enough to have workstations do it.
Thank you

No. There is no way of excluding specific systems from the automatic client upgrade. It's all or nothing.

Print servers for 30 client Mac Mini Lab

I have a 30 client Mac Mini lab with printing done by 2 networked HP Officejet 8600+ printers w/ 128mb memory. I would like to have a print server that will speed up the printing(kindergarteners can be impatient). A dozen years or so ago there were separate print servers that managed print requests and gave you only 1 queue to keep track of, but I haven't found one lately for 10.5. Will simply routing print requests to our current document server(PowerMac, Intel 2, 500gb) and giving it the 8600s' IP addresses give me the speed boost I need?

Okay, I have been able to recreate the error message by changing the Security Options for the Windows print queue (located in Properties > Ports > Configure Port). By default, the printer queue is set to use an anonymous account for the connection. When I changed the setting to use the "Windows logon name and password", I would get the error "Returning IPP client-error-not-authorized for Print-Job". This message was found in the cups error log, the print queue did not show an error - simply the job would not appear in the print queue and therefore there was no print.
The only problem I then encountered was when I changed the setting back to use the anonymous account, the error continued to occur - again only showing in cups. The only way I could resolve this was to delete the Windows queue, reset the printing system on the Mac and re-add the Canon printer (in my case an iP6000D). Then when I added the printer again on Win7 using the Bonjour Printer Wizard, I was able to print without error.
So, I suggest you first check that the anonymous account is being used on the Vista PC. If it is, then remove the Windows queue and reset the printing system on the Mac. To reset the printing system, Control-click on the Print & Fax > Printer list and select the reset pop-up. This will delete the Mac queue but not the driver. Now you can add the printer again on the Mac and once that is complete, go back to the PC and add the printer again.
One final note. My printer is using v10.26.x of the Canon driver. Version 10.19 was part of the default 10.6.0 install and can be updated to the same v10.26 by downloading the Canon Printer Driver Update v2.2.

Automatic Client Push not working - Site System Servers

Having an issue getting automatic site-wise client push to work when only
having "Configuration Manager site system servers" selected. This was turned on after discovery was enabled and fully executed.
SCCM 2012 R2 CU1, Single Primary Site Server, 2 Management Points (one on primary and second is standalone), with 5 DP's (currently), SQL is standalone.
The site systems are within the IP range boundaries and show as assigned (i.e. site code showing in console of object). The boundaries are in a boundary group with site assignment selected, and a DP added. When I view the object properties I
see its returning the correct IP that does fall withing the IP range boundary.
Nothing in the ccm.log indicating its ever trying to install the client and the ccr and ccrretry folders are empty. I can do a manual client push without issue to a site server object or a discovered desktop/laptop object.
Is there something I may be missing here? And does anyone know the interval in which SCCM should be creating ccr records for discovered objects that don't have a client?

Thanks or the quick replies everyone. To answer Idan's questions, no errors in log or component status and SQL is not clustered.
John, I hope this isn't the case. If it were wouldn't that effectively mean you would not be able to enabled discovery until you are ready to turn on auto client push? And if you did that you would have no way to control the client roll out.
Maybe I am missing something in that equation. I'll test that theory regardless but if that ends up being the case that is alarming! :-)
Jason, thanks for the tip on the potential bug. Was really more so hoping to validate automatic client push rather than actually needing it for my site system servers. So if it is the issue you reference above hopefully its just contained to
the site system servers. Would be nice to be able to select automatic client push to just a collection of devices prior to turning it on for site wide deployment.
I guess I could always just turn off discovery temporarily and delete all but some test clients, enable client push for workstations, then once validated, turn it back off and re-enable discovery. (wouldn't turn push back on until most clients are
deployed on the roll out schedule)

Automatic Proxy Failover for Extend Client Connections

Hi
I looked at the documentation but this is a still unclear to me. We have a C++ application doing continuous puts/putAlls on a Coherence cluster through a set of storage disabled Proxy nodes. (I am guessing this is referred to as 'active' client?)
Clients:
Multiple C++ processes doing puts and putAlls via multiple proxy nodes
Proxies:
6 nodes acting purely as proxies without storage
Servers:
6 Storage nodes
Each client has the addresses of all proxy nodes and ports. We are running a failover test where we kill a proxy node and see if the client fails over to next proxy that is alive. From what we see, this is not happening. Can someone explain what happens when a proxy server fails? I read in one of the forum responses that
"For active client, when a request to proxy failed, the client will automatically connect to the next proxy server. But the reconnection only occurs the next request to proxy. It’s up to the client to retry the failed request."
What does "retry the failed request" mean? - Is it - retry the PUT or PUTALL() that failed or retry getting the instance of the cache in C++ once I catch the socket failure exception in my code?
Any pseudo code you can furnish would be very helpful
Thank you
Sairam

As soon as we kill the proxy server that the client is connected to, we are getting the following socket disconnect exception, although other proxy nodes are up and running. What am I missing?

Clarification of "Automatic Client Upgrade" in Hierarchy Settings

Hello all, I am looking for clarification of "Automatic Client Upgrade" in Hierarchy Settings. I am SCCM 2012 R2 CU1. It says the latest version is "5.00.7958.1000" My CU1 version is actually "5.00.7958.1203".
From reading various other users forum questions regarding this issue I have learned that this upgrade will only work for "Major versions". That should be why I don't see the same versions. My question relates possibly more generally.
I am in the process of building and configuring the SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 (site code: IT1) environment. I have a running production SCCM 2007 R3 (site code: IT0) environment, with a different side code. I am not ready for these older SCCM 2007
R3 clients to be upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 as I am still testing and finalizing things.
If I enable the "Automatic Client Upgrade" in Hierarchy Settings for 2012 R2 CU1, could someone better explain which clients this affects?
Will it upgrade my old SCCM 2007 R3 clients to SCCM 2012 R2?
Will it upgrade anything outside of the SCCM 2012 site IT1 (if I had two SCCM 2012 sites with different names)?
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 client to SCCM 2012 R2?
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 SP1 CUx client to SCCM 2012 R2?
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 R2 client to SCCM 2012 R2 CU1? (from what I have read, NO)
Find this post helpful? Does this post answer your question? Be sure to mark it appropriately to help others find answers to their searches.

Will it upgrade my old SCCM 2007 R3 clients to SCCM 2012 R2?
No
Will it upgrade anything outside of the SCCM 2012 site IT1 (if I had two SCCM 2012 sites with different names)?
Since we cannot have two sites with the same name in a hierarchy I assume these are two different hierarchies. The setting is for a hierarchy wide and works by creating a scheduled task for client to get the package via policies. Though I have not tried
this but logically it should not.
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 client to SCCM 2012 R2?
On the same hierarchy,Yes!
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 SP1 CUx client to SCCM 2012 R2?
On the same hierarchy,Yes.
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 R2 client to SCCM 2012 R2 CU1? (from what I have read, NO)
You are correct. CUs are not a major release and a separate client package is created and you need to manually target them to the clients to get it upgraded.

SCCM 2012R2 Automatic Client Upgrade - mandatory / forced restart?

We've upgraded our SCCM environment from 2012 sp1 to 2012R2.
If I check the box under site settings (Hierarchy settings) for "Upgrade client automatically when new client updates are available." What is the installation / restart behavior? Will it only occur during a maintenance window if one
exists and will it force a restart?
# When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

Automatic upgrade is a great feature, but not much in this World is perfect.
Clients in slow or unreliable boundaries, are not upgraded automatically.
Here is a brief overview over what happens when you enable this feature:

Deployment for 250 Clients with a poor communicationlink

Hello guys :
We're currently working with Forte 3.0.J.1.
We have two questions :
1.- We have a big application and when we deploy it the client
partition is quite large.
The size of the standard partition image repositories (*.btd,
*.btx) is 7436 Kb.
We then need to distribute the client files over a LAN (5% of the
users) and over a
WAN (96% of the users). Most of the users have a poor communication
link ( 9600 bps !!!! ).
We have two schemes for the distribution :
a).- Configuration of the client machine ( forte control panel with
flag :
cfg:em:2:2:2. In this case, the client partition must be
manually copied.
This takes 50 minutes to copy via ftp. This flag requires
the file being executed
using ftexec -fi parameter.
b).- Normal Forte mechanism, the client partition is being
copied automatically once
forte detects a difference with the current file. This
takes 56 minutes via
the Forte environment.
Is there somebody having the same scenario ( low speed
communications links ), if so
can you share your experience with us?. Apart from that, we are
having quite good
response time inside the application.
2.- What is the minimal configuration in memory (RAM) for a Central
Server Node ( only Forte
environment ). The machine is an Alpha 4100 with 1GB of RAM running
Alpha Unix 4.0.D, the database is
Sybase Adaptive Server 11.9.3 with 250 to 300 concurrent forté
users.

Hi,
We've similar situation here but a little bit better. What we did was:
1. We gzipped all the client btrees under appdist after deployment but
before download.
2. We wrote our own "Launcher" which would do one extra step - unzip
the client btree before launching the client with normal launchservice.
One drawback of this approach is that you will need
1. hard-coding on unzipping the btree ( like hard-code for behaviour
under Windows, Mac or UNIX )
2. carefully designed application name. Note that Forte save the files
in only 8 characters. Any name longer than that will be truncated with
sequence number for the 8th character.
One more thing that we've observed over WAN. When the traffic is really
high and when we have a deployment, the nodemgr will crash claiming that it
is out of memory. However, when we check the trace, the memory allocated by
-fm is far more than enough. Thus, I suspected that when the download is
slow, the nodemgr is flood with threads trying to download the applet to the
client. And it is the thread manager that got boomed when there is really a
lot of users. So beware.
Regards,
Peter Sham.

Windows VPN clients can't use network servers after 10.5.1 upgrade

We have two Xserves, both formerly running 10.4.11. One is the OD master, the other a replica. The replica is also the VPN server, and is a DHCP server for the small number of IP addresses reserved for VPN clients.
The OD master upgrade went fine. I completely reinstalled the OD replica, set the replica up again, and set up the VPN server. It supports L2TP/IPsec connections only.
After the upgrade, Mac users running Tiger or Leopard can connect to the VPN server and connect to network services without any problems. Windows users can connect, but cannot actually USE anything on my office network. For example, if you try to connect to a web server either by fully qualified domain name or by hostname, the connection from the browser simply times out.
In the Windows command line I can verify that I have an active connection by pinging and using the tracert command (equivalent of traceroute on UNIX). Hostname resolution works, too. But nothing happens when you try to open a web browser, which is mostly what my users need to do.
It doesn't matter whether you're logging in with an OD user account or a local account defined solely on the VPN server. Same behavior in Windows.
I had to take an older XServe running 10.4.11 out of our data center, move it to the office, and set it up on the same external network connection. 10.4.11 server works, 10.5.1 doesn't, from the same Windows client, set up exactly the same way.
I've been through the hoops with Apple Enterprise support, who now tell me that Engineering kicked it back to them and told them they'd charge me $695 to get it fixed, because it's ostensibly custom configuration work. If that's true, why is Windows XP listed under L2TP/IPSec support on page 127 of the Leopard Network Services Admin guide? I don't want a custom fix, I just want it to work the way it's supposed to work. Or I want Apple to retract the claim that OS X Server is the best workgroup server solution for Macs and Windows.
Anyone else encounter this problem or know of a fix?

Had the same problems, started after i tried out the firewall in Leopard server.
Seems that not all settings are reset even after turning the firewall off.
To reset the firewall to its default setting:
1 Disconnect the server from the Internet.
2 Restart the server in single-user mode by holding down the Command-s keys during
startup.
3 Remove or rename the address groups file found at /etc/ipfilter/
ipaddressgroups.plist.
4 Remove or rename the ipfw configuration file found at /etc/ipfilter/ipfw.conf.
5 Force-flush the firewall rules by entering the following in Terminal:
$ ipfw -f flush
6 Edit the /etc/hostconfig file and set IPFILTER=-YES-.
7 Complete the startup sequence in the login window by entering exit:
The computer starts up with the default firewall rules and firewall enabled. Use Server
Admin to refine the firewall configuration.
8 Log in to your server’s local administrator account to confirm that the firewall is
restored to its default configuration.
9 Reconnect your host to the Internet.
This solved the problem for me...

NLS_LANG setting for a client with multiple Oracle servers

Hello!
We have a web application which has to connect to one of the Oracle servers with different charactersets. When the NLS_LANG on the client is a single byte encoding and the server has a single byte encoding there are no problems. We have now a server with NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 and all special (hungarian accented) character are replaced.
When we set the client to UTF8 the rest of servers does not work.
What is the solution for one client and multiple servers with different encoding?
Is there a special key in connection string?
I tried to change the nls_lang with an alter session statement but without success.
Regards,
emeriqus

NLS_LANG is not depending on the database side, it's a CLIENT setting to "let Oracle know what encoding is used on the CLIENT" so that Oracle can do the conversion from the client encoding to the database (NLS_CHARACTERSET) encoding.
for ONE application/client the is only ONE correct NLS_LANG value, regardless of the database NLS_CHARACTERSET
If you web application is really an UTF8 application (check with your vendor) then you can perfectly use a UTF8 client setting and a 8 bit database
Of course, you will be limited to the database side in this case seen the 8 bit characterset does not know all the characters in UTF8
The fact that setting the NLS_LANG to UTF8 "does not work" with your web application is simply the fact your application is not a UTF8 env.
Setting nls_lang to UTF8 will not "magically" make your application UTF8, NLS_LANG is depending on the encoding used in the web server.
But the first thing to ask yourself is if CURRENT data is correctly in the Oracle database.
use SQLdeveloper to check the data, this is a "know good client" that needs no NLS configuration.
You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/
If the data is displayed correctly in SQLdeveloper then you are sure it's correct in the database.
If data is WRONG in the database then that needs to be corrected first, "trying" different client side configurations will only make matter worse (even if they make the data "look good" )

Gunther

How long are you leaving it on the charger?
Are you connecting it directly to an electrical outlet or trying to charge via USB? USB may not provide enough power to adequately charge the device if the battery is that low.
If none of that helps, then the only option would be a warranty replacement as either the battery or system board is bad.

Deploy user for automatic deployment on development system

Hi everybody,
I am not sure what user to configure in the "Runtime Systems" tab of my track configurations.
We use AS Javas of the Version 7.1 EHP1 as runtime systems. Thus we use the deploy controller for deploying. So far we just have used the personal user of whoever created the track as deploy user. Is this the recommended way? Or should we better use some technical user for automatic deployment? If yes, which permissions should this user have?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Tobias

Hi Satya
Thanks for the quick answer. Do you happen to know if a separate technical user for CMS deployment ist the "standard"/best practice?
Best regards,
Tobias

LabVIEW license for terminal servers and thin clients (e.g. LTSP)

Does NI plan to provide a license agreement for terminal servers and thin
clients?
I've been told to purchase a multi-seat license. That doesn't make much
sense since the thin clients won't be accessing DAQ hardware. They're
just used for developing the LV source.
Comments/suggestions?

Yes, this is a very good point. Quite a unique situation when compared to
text based languages. Keep in mind I certainly don't mind paying for that
but I see no need to pay for much of the other features - like running it.
This is certainly one of the other features you pay for with LV. Since
we never plan to run the app on the thin client, why pay for that
feature?
What we do is crank out source code on the thin clients. We then send the
source code to this wireless mobile DAQ station running WindowsXP. From
there we can roll it up to our clients' target systems. That machine is
used for debugging then compilin
g so it has its own LV Prof Dev license
installed on it. Also, it can be operated locally or remotely via remote
desktop (one user at a time).
I know it may sound strange but it works great. And as the NI Software
License Agreement(NISLA) specifies, we have separate licenses on all
machines that load LV into local memory. The thin clients load nothing
into local memory, hence no need for a separate license.
> I express myself clearly in the hope of guidance. I am a one man shop
Yes, this is understandable. Installing one license on multiple machines
is a big no-no. However, that is not what I'm trying to do. Take a peek
at the "Grant of License" and "Single Seat License" sections of the NISLA.
> You say "That doesn't make much sense since ..." One of my clients has a
Ha! How about this scenario: As wireless hardware (bluetooth, wifi)
becomes more common, perhaps NI will have a peer scanner on all PCs with
LV installed. That way if you get within 100 feet of a P
C with the same
LV serial number, you get locked out and it sends a small message to the
NI batcave.
Thanks for the response. I'm hoping NI chimes in soon.

OAS API for automatic deployment!!

Hi,
Is there any API from Oracle for automatic deployment, stopping, starting, restarting the server, creating Datasource, connection pool etc for Oracle Application Server. I mean I should be able to achieve all these without manual intervention. Everything should happen in an automated way with the help of code.
The following site lists out the API, but I could not find the solution for my (above) requirement.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.htm
Can anyone, if used/aware of such API, please let me know.
TIA,
Rgds,
Prashanth Babu.

Mike,
Thanks for the reply.
I basically found the ant methodology and also the J2EE Deployment API (JSR88) for my requirement.
But with ant scripts I ran into problems. I have posted my problem in OC4J forum.
Re: Could not create task or type of type: antlib:oracle:deploy
I found the corresponding API for the same in ant-oracle-classes.jar. Here too, I ran into problems, since, when I tried Java Code for creating the datasource/connectionpool, the program is completing without any runtime-error, but its not creating the datasource/connectionpool.
If anyone is aware of the API or used it or any pointers to examples of usage will be of great use. Please let me know.
As such, Iam not able to find out much abt the API even googling.
Any pointers/suggestions for the same would be very appreciated.
TIA.

Prashanth Babu.

Does JMS support reliable messaging (store-and-forward) for app clients?

I need to write an enterprise application client (launched with Java web start or packaged with a tool like Sun's package-appclient) that can send messages reliably from Linux to Windows. JMS seems like the obvious solution, so I deployed an EAR file with an MDB and an application client on a Windows machine (running SJSAS 9). I was able to download the client jar file onto Linux and send JMS messages successfully. However, if the Windows machine is not available, the Linux client immediately throws exceptions and fails. Are there any JMS providers that provide a store-and-forward mechanism for enterprise clients, so that if the remote server is not available immediately, messages are delivered later? (Note that the client can't be a servlet or other server-managed component.)
I'd prefer an open-source solution, but this requirement has an extremely high priority for my customer, so I'll use a commercial product if necessary. And if there's something other than JMS that works, that would be fine. (In my case, the messages on the remote side ultimately go to a .NET service, so WS-ReliableMessaging would be ideal, but it looks WS-RM won't be integrated into .NET until Vista, and the current WS-RM implementation is a beta, etc., etc.)
Thanks,
Mike

You could use Apache ActiveMQ
http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/
which supports embedded brokers inside each JVM which can be networked together in a store-forward mechanism so that each application keeps working and store-forwarding messages.
http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/networks-of-brokers.html
or you can use failover transport to handle automatic reconnection...
http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/how-can-i-support-auto-reconnection.html
If you need to communicate with some .Net you can use the NMS - the .Net Messaging API which has a client for ActiveMQ as well...

How to manage one wsp and dll for multiple clients in farm environment

1. There is a product which is developed using C sharp , jquery,CSS and sharepoint object models which have been packaged into .wsp file. Whenever we introduce new functionality to the product we used to branch the
previous code as a version , say Version 1.0 and new functionality of the product will in another solution. This is how we are managing the code in TFS as versions. Each newer version will have new functionalities. We do not give latest functionality for all
the clients. Each client is having its own version of functionality. Technically in order to access the functionality, the wsp solution should be present in the solution repository which is available in SharePoint central administrator site. This solution
will be deployed on the client’s site. We are following the above process in SharePoint standalone installation where we used to purchase dedicated server per client and installed sql, SharePoint foundation 2010 as standalone installation and adding the client
related version of the code to the solution repository. Later host on the site which is created for that client purpose. This process is same for all the clients where we purchase individual server for each client .
Now we want to host our product in farm environment of sharepoint foundation 2010 where we are going to try 3 level architecture.
• SQL Server-In this sever we are going to install sql server 2008R2 standard edition. Which should serve the database service for all the web applications/sitecollections which we are going to create in Web front end server.
• Application server- In this server we are going to install the sharepoint as farm and will install search server express for serving search functionality for our product
• Web front end server- In this server we are going to add this server to Sharepoint farm which we have created in application server. Here we are going to create web applications and site collections for all the clients.
In this scenario how to manage multiple versions of same wsp solution?
Another major issue w.r.t the architecture of the product and new approach for client deployment as follow.We have CSS, jquery files for serving the functionality.These files have been mapped to 14 hive folder.If any changes we do one of the jquery file or
css file which is meant for latest version and not for old version, then how to manage this new functionality for that particular css or jquery file in 14 hive folder, since there is only one 14 hive folder. What is the best practice to make this happen? Another
thing is, how to manage dll files for individual client?

It sounds like you have a farm scoped solution at work. In that case you can only have a single instance of it per farm, you'd have to branch each version so they appear to be seperate solutions entirely (thus ruining your clients upgrade process).
Bluntly i don't think a single farm can manage all your user environments.
