Help a bonehead - ZfD server modules for desktop agents?
Ok guys, I have to be honest I was really versed on ZfD but it has been a good number of years since I've really touched it. Here is what is going on, we are migrating fully to OES2 SLES10/OES11 and removing all our Netware servers over time. We are at a point where we can retire 2 of our 3 remaining Netware servers if ZfD doesn't require them. We are in the process of also going to Windows 7 on all workstations, we'll use ZCM 11 for them. Here is my question....
What does the Windows Desktop Agents rely on for user related policies? Does it connect to eDirectory directly and read the policies? In other words we have Windows XP Pro workstations running the ZFD Agents. We are only are using the user associated policies for DLU(mandatory remaining profiles) and user associated group policies. We'd like to keep these running and if memory serves they don't call any specific NLMs on the Netware servers, they just read eDirectory for their information.
Is this correct? Please be kind, my ZfD 7 knowledge is simply fading away. Thanks.

Thanks Craig,
I really appreciate the confirmation. That is what I had thought but you know what assuming does. We aren't using any software bundles or Workstation assigned policies only user policies so it sounds like we should be good to go.
Only one more Netware 6.5sp8 server to go, I'm kind of sad to see the end of such a reliable legacy. I hope that Novell can infect the Linux side of the house with the idea that with power, management complexity doesn't have to be the norm. 8^D

If you are not worried about Inventory, then the Inventory Server does
not matter.
Workstation Import Service is not required, though not having it is a
slightly larger issue. There are two main things you lose if the WS is
not imported.
#1 - You cannot assign Bundles/Policies directly to Devices, only uses.
Duh :>
#2 - The System Account will not have any File Rights for running User
Associated Bundles set to run as System Directly from a Network share.
However, you could run the bundle as Logged on User or 1st copy the
files local and then run an install as System.

Need Help with Oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library
I am a beginner, trying to install Oracle RAC. I have a system with SuSE Linx 11 (64 bit) loaded. I need to get the correct ASMLib packages needed for installing ASM. I think I got the following packages that are needed for installing ASM
1) oracleasmlib- the ASM libraries (oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.SLE11.x86_64.rpm)
2) oracleasm-support- utilities needed to administer ASMLib (oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.SLE11.x86_64.rpm)
I am unable to find the third package.
3) Oracleasm - a kernel module for the ASM library
I looked at my kernel version it says "2.6.27.19-5-default". I am not sure where I can get the above third package. If you have an answer/know ase share your thoughts.
Thank YouHi!
Don't use ASMLib, it will be no longer available, it will only came in Oracle Unbreakable Kernel for Linux 6.
The easly way to set the permissions on your devices is with a /etc/init.d script that do the job.
Here is an example:
#! /bin/bash
# chkconfig: 2345 25 19
# description: Set ASM Permissions on to devices at boot.
case "$1" in
start)
/bin/chown oracle:oinstall /dev/sdb1
/bin/chmod 0660 /dev/sdb1
stop)
#do nothing
status)
ls -l /dev/sdb1
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit o
You need to replace the /dev/sdb1 for your acctual partitions.
Please check the Docs to be sure that you meet all pre-reqs.

Need help with updating Name Server update for home webserver
I set up a webserver at home to run my own domain/website. I am able to type my IP address into Safari/IE and get to my website fine. I now need to update the NameServer with the previous domain hosting service, but I have no idea how to find out the NameServer (Compast is my ISP) to put into the UPDATE NAME SERVERS form for the previous hosting company. I need to obviosly do this before people who type in my web address can be directed to my home server instead of the old hsoting company. The previous hosting server is ns.teammediaonline and ns1.teammediaonline.com. Do I use something like ns.comcast.net or something? I already have the IP address and know it works fine. Comcast does notchange the IP's too often and I will not have much traffic to my site, so I should not have any issues with them. I am sure this is a very simple issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi--
You definitely do not want to contact Comcast. Servers are forbidden to their residential customers. If you contacted them, not only would they refuse to help, that might put you on a list to watch in case you do set one up. Now, if you're careful, don't server out a lot of traffic, and aren't a general nuisance to the people on your node, they most likely won't notice if you don't contact them.
However, you'll need to look into a different DNS solution. Do a search for "Dynamic DNS" and you'll find a number of services that will be able to help you out. This one, DynDNS, has some reading material that might help to explain what you need to do...

Updated PKGBUILD for vmware-server-modules 2.0.2
Hi.
I have updated the PKGBUILD for the vmware-server-modules and added patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.

Tarball for vmware-server-modules' PKGBUILD missing [SOLVED]
Edit: I realized that my subject line was mis-leading
Hello,
I've been an arch user for several months now. Amazingly, I've been able to work my way through all the problems I've had thus far (due, in large part, to the arch community and wikis). This is my first time actually posting for help.
I've been trying to install VMware-Server on my latest install of arch, when I run a 'makepkg' on the vmware-server-modules package I get:
==> ERROR: VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.tar.gz was not found in the build directory
and is not a URL.
A link to the missing tarball can be found on the vmware-server-2.0.2 AUR page (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6182), however, when I click on the link, it 404's. I've done multiple Google, vmware.com, and archlinux.org/forum searches and have found nothing. I'm at a complete loss for what to do at this point. I really can't find anything of use on the subject, am I the only person who's had/having this problem? Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Last edited by purilepolterguist (2010-07-18 19:21:51)Turns out I'm just retarded. That's the actual vmware-server package from the VMware download site, which I actually downloaded and unpacked in search of the file itself For those who looked at this post, could no one have just gone, "Hey dumbass, it's the actual file from the VMware site."?

Need separate duplicate JMS modules for each server?
Using WebLogic 9.2.2 on AIX 5.3.
I'm trying to set up a domain with 6 managed servers. I need to deploy several JMS queues and a foreign server to each JMSServer on each server. I looked at the JMSModule object, and I'm trying to determine whether it's possible to define a single JMSModule that I can deploy to all of my servers. So far, this doesn't appear to be possible. As a result, I have to do tons of painful cut/paste inside the console. Is this how it's supposed to work?David,
Sorry, if I was not clear earlier.
A Module can be targeted to a single Cluster, one or more comma separated list of WLS servers and the servers don't have to be part of a cluster (note that certain resources such as UDD or CF that can be targeted to an entire cluster, cannot be done so, if the module is not targeted to the cluster. And to achieve the same, the user has to manually add/remove the managed servers to the list of Module's/sub-deployment's targets whenever a server is added or removed to/from the cluster/domain).
So, in your case, you can define all the JMS resources for that domain in a single Module descriptor and deploy it to a list of all the managed servers. Then you can use the sub-deployments to group and target them onto other related targets (for example, one or more queues can be grouped as a sub-deployment and targeted to a single JMSServer that is hosted by one of the WLS server instance, where the Module is currently targeted to, etc).
I believe you are creating/using a "system resource" type module via Admin console, the JMSModules wizard shall walk you through the targeting page, where you can see all the available target servers/clusters.
Here is an example of config.xml snippet for this kind of module targeting :
<jms-system-resource>
<name>SystemModule-0</name>
<target>Server-0,Server-1</target>
<sub-deployment>
<name>ConnectionFactory-0</name>
<target>Server-0,Server-1</target>
</sub-deployment>
<sub-deployment>
<name>Queues</name>
<target>JMSServer-0</target>
</sub-deployment>
<descriptor-file-name>jms/systemmodule-0-jms.xml</descriptor-file-name>
</jms-system-resource>
and the corresponding JMS module descriptor file snippet (can be found under DOMAIN_DIR/config/jms dir) as shown below:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<weblogic-jms xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-jms" xmlns:sec="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/security" xmlns:wls
="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/security/wls" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http:/
/www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-jms http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-jms/1.0/weblogic-jms.xsd">
<connection-factory name="ConnectionFactory-0">
<sub-deployment-name>ConnectionFactory-0</sub-deployment-name>
<jndi-name>ConnectionFactory-0</jndi-name>
<security-params>
<attach-jmsx-user-id>false</attach-jmsx-user-id>
</security-params>
</connection-factory>
<queue name="Queue-0">
<sub-deployment-name>Queues</sub-deployment-name>
<jndi-name>Queue-0</jndi-name>
</queue>
</weblogic-jms>
That being said, depending on, how many resources (factories, destinations etc) you are having and how you are going to group them, you may end of with too many sub-deployments within a single module, for which you need to carefully select targets/manage them.
Both approaches (one module descriptor with many sub-deployments and many module descriptors with fewer sub deployments) have positives and negatives, when its comes to manageability. The recommended best practice is to have the JMS resource configuration split into more than one module with fewer number of sub-deployments within each, to have finer control over the resource configuration/management.
Sounds like, you are trying to configure one queue on every managed server, that has duplicate(same) configuration properties. If that is the case, you can try using the UDD (Uniform Distributed Destination), that comes with automatic member (physical destination) management on all of its targets. That way, all you need is one UDD resource configuration/sub-deployment in the module and target the sub-deployment to the same targets as the module's targets (or accept the default targeting option, if available in the resource targeting page).
More information on UDDs can be found here:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/jms/dds.html#wp1313025
Hope this helps.
Thanks

What port number for Desktop Sharing using in Lync Server 2013 and Lync Online
Dear All,
My environment using Lync Server 2013 and Lync online on Office 365. I don't want my user using Desktop Sharing feature. then I need to know what port number for Desktop Sharing using in Lync Server 2013 and Lync Online.
I will deny this port on personal firewall each client.
Thank you for your advise.Hi,
I'm not sure you'd be able to do this with ports without impacting other application sharing features such as Q&A, Whiteboard, Poll etc - I'm pretty sure they all come under the same umbrella of ClientAppSharing.
Ordinarily you would create or modify your conferencing policy to restrict sharing to single programs only using a cmdlet similar to below;
Set-CsConferencingPolicy -Identity "Global" -EnableAppDesktopSharing SingleApplication
This would disable desktop sharing but enable users to continue sharing other single programs. If you want to remove that functionality too, then replace the 'SingleApplication' parameter with 'None'. Then users won't be able to share any programs either.
This is the correct way to do it as the icons will be greyed out for the users. Doing it your way, they would still be able to click them, and it would throw an error - this will lead to a lot more support calls and people assuming a service is broken.
I hope that helps some.
Kind regards
