HELP! Clone server to hardware in remote office?

Hey all,
For reasons out of my control, I need to clone a server deployment to a second remote-site machine. We have no way of connecting the two sites due to network constraints.
The services we are running are DNS, OD, AFP, Web, and iCal. I have one server configured and need to set up the exact same deployment at our remote on a different machine. I'm operating with a bit of a net in the fact that neither of these are currently scheduled to be production servers.
My idea is as follows:
• Clone the drive to start with. Backups are good.
• Disable services in the following order. iCal, Web, AFP.
• Backup the LDAP directory and demote to standalone server.
• Disable DNS.
• Create an image of the server and transfer to remote site.
• Restore server to new hardware.
• Enable DNS and verify IP and DNS name are correct.
• Promote to OD Master, restore LDAP and enter new Ethernet Address on server in Workgroup Manager
• Enable AFP, Web and iCal services
I believe this allows me to have the group shares, calendar data, and wiki server data saved on the image but I can go through a more proper enabling of all services after restoring the image to the second machine.
So, two questions:
*Will this work?* and *Is there a better way to go about it that fits my logistics?*
I know this isn't a preferred method of getting data duplicated between servers. I also have to say that the reason I'm asking this question is because I can perceive no other option. Bummer, yeah?
I've learned a lot since I've been reading here and thank everyone in advance for their help again.

Verified all of the above, Group Policies are correct, .Net 3.5 and 4.5 are installed on the client as well as on the serverRunning all the latest updates on both the server and remote desktop ( presume that windows 7 pro (remote) has the correct RDP (7.0
) by default and it is compatible with Windows 2012 r2). Do not know how to check authority for printfilterpipelinesvc.exe but the server is only running the standard Windows 2012 R2 with one accounting application(Quickbooks Pro 2014) nothing
else ! ( no other applications). The server is in Hyper-V if that makes a difference.
Still getting in the event log of the remote session the following error:
Faulting application name: printfilterpipelinesvc.exe, version: 6.3.9600.16384, time stamp: 0x5215e82b

The other thing we tried is we installed a local HP printer to the server, accessed the remote desktop from one of the local PC and we can print to the local printer via the remote desktop session. The printer is not redirected but shows that
the print and spool functions are working properly.
I don't know what else to try, any suggestions would be appreaicated.

Unable to allow traffic from remote office - Cisco RV220W

Hi there,
I have just bought the RV220W Cisco router firewall because my DLINK-1600 got broken and now I am unable to allow access to the machines located behind this router from the machines located at a remote office. Any help would be much appreciated!!
This is the situation:
1. Two remote offices A and B connected by a VPN tunnel (this connection is managed by an external provider and it is properly functioning)
2. IP range A office: 192.168.236.0/24
3. IP range B office: 192.168.237.0/24
4. Office A: CISCO RV220W router/firewall (the one that I´ve just bought as the old dlink has broken). This RV220W is connected to a cisco router (managed by provider) that is the one with the VPN tunnel to the other office. The CISCO router does not do NAT. On the other end (Office B) there is another CISCO router managed by the provider.
5. Everything was working smoothly until our old router/firewall got broken and that is when I bought the rv220w. I have set up the CISCO RV220W at office A and the machines can ping the machines located at office B and can browse the internet, i.e., the traffic going out is OK and in that sense everything works smoothly.
6. The problem is that the machines located at office B cannot access the machines located behind the CISCO RV220W and I know it is a problem of the firewall as if I capture traffic coming from office B, I can see that it is dropped by the CISCO RV220W.
7. I have tried to enable an access rule in the firewall to allow traffic from office B (see picture below) but it does not seem to work. In the field, Send to Local Server (DNAT IP) I have entered the WAN IP of my router (you cannot leave it blank) … this rule does not work at all. I think that is not properly configured but I don´t know how to do it.
8. As you see, the problem is that I don´t know how to set up a rule to allow specific traffic coming from the WAN (traffic from remote office – 192.168.237.0/24) to the LAN at office A - 192.168.236.0/24.
In the old router/firewall I just had to create a rule specifying the source interface (WAN) and network (Office B) and the destination interdace (LANOfficeA) and network (Office A). It does not seem that here I can do the same. i mean, you always have to point to a server ip inside the LAN??
I know it has to be a very easy thing to do but at this moment I am completely stuck. If anyone can give me some advice would be great.
Thanks a lot for your help in advanced!
Eva

Hi Eva, the default inbound policy cannot be changed. It will block all inbound traffic. To my knowledge there is not a way around this. Access rules are the only way to 'poke' a hole through the firewall but as you note, it is for a specific host. Values such as .0 and .255 do not work.

HREAP and Remote Office VLAN

We have a corporate office which we have a 5508 WLC and 2 WiSMs (v7.0.116) and WCS (v7.0.172) and rolling out remote offices which will have 2 or 3 APs (1142N). I setup the first remote office with wireless using HREAP and its working well. Configuring the WLAN for the remote office we select an interface we created with the VLAN at the remote office and now that we are preparing for the next remote office can I use the same VLAN for the second office? For example, we are using local switching for a WLAN using VLAN 6 and will need the same at the second remote office.
Thanks for any help.
Jeff

if you are user FlexConnect, and are on 7.2 or better code on the WLC.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.2/configuration/guide/cg_flexconnect.html#wp1247954
If you are not using FlexConnect, which you said you weren't, the traffic doesn't get locally switched. it all is handeld at the WLC.

Remote office in India

I am currently working with a consulting company in India on setting up a new office in Pune India and I am running into some issues with the local rules and regulations in regard to where we can and can not terminate PSTN. The consultanting company is saying that we can not terminate PSTN to our router and that we have to have two phones on each desk (one IP phone for internal calls and the other phone is for PSTN calls). This is my first remote office outside of North America and don't know much about the local laws in India.
has anybody had any experience in India ?
Any response will be highly appreciated !

Server 2003 routing and remote access not passing VPN traffic

I've inherited a network that has two IP scopes that are routed through a Windows 2003 server with Routing and Remote Access. I can ping both sides (we'll call them HQ and Plant) internally. My firewall has an IP from the HQ IP scope and when
I connect via VPN, I can see all the devices on the HQ network including the network card that is in the routing server for that "side". However, if I'm connected via VPN, I cannot get to any of the IPs on the Plant side, not even the card
in the routing server. The buck stops on the server.
I should mention, that the firewall assigns IP addresses that are on the HQ scope, so all VPN connections will have an address from that side.
I'm lost on how to get this set up so my VPN traffic coming in from the HQ side can be routed to the Plant devices.

Hi,
To be honest, your statement confused me a bit.
VPN is used for external client get access to internal resource. When we setup VPN server, we usually have two NICs. We need choose a NIC that will be used when client initiate
a connection request. I prefer to call it external NIC card. The internal one will work as DHCP relay agent. So this is a single way connection. You cannot dial from internal to external.
If I misunderstood you, please elaborate what you are trying to do.
Hope this helps.

AA in remote office

We have an IPT environment with 2 CCM and 1 Unity in center office,and we need deploy IPT in the remote office where call processing is done through center CCM&Unity. Now the remote office needs a separate AutoAttendant .We think it has 3 solution:
1. AA is deployed in Unity.
2. AA is deployed in CCM throught Extended Service CD.
3. AA is deployed in SRST router throught B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications
Now, I have the following question:
1. To solution2, what is the default max number of simultaneous callers that use this AA? I remember the number is 4 per CCM, and now we have 2 CCM, is the max number 8 ?
2. To solution3, is the B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications bundled in SRST router? Need we purchase the separate liences or application for it ? And what is the default max number of simultaneous callers that use this AA? Will the B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications effects the performance of SRST route when many caller use the application simultaneously?
Help

I think the max no of simultaneous sessions on AA is only limited by the number of CTI ports that you create and also the number of sessions you limit on the Application page where you attach the aa script to an application.
For BACD, it can queue up to 300 calls. You cannot use BACD with SRST 4.0. You need to run CME in SRST mode and create ephones and ephone-dns and then run B-ACD on it. This is supported in CME 4.0. This doesnt require you to buy CME licenses. YOu just need to buy SRST licenses and phones will require Callmanager licenses (SW-CCM-UL-79XX)

How to solve this problem, pls help when I try to see remote camera system from home."Dual streaming is required for HTML viewing"

How to solve this problem, pls help when, I try to see remote camera system(spec dvr) from home. The Error I get is "Dual streaming is required for HTML viewing"

I had the same probelm and found that the problem lies with 64bit programs such as safari and microsoft internet explorer. I have resolved the issue on my PC based server by using a 32 bit ie and same on my mac by using the same running windows under parallels.
So far the problem with the 64 bit side of it is still to be resolved.
Hope this helps and gets you guys up and running until suchtime a 64 bit solution is found.

Do you need a web browser and internet server to run LabVIEW remote front panel?

Does anyone know if ones needs an internet server to use the Remote Front Panel application of LabVIEW, or is it also possible to use a LAN/WAN for the same application? if it is possible, how does one set up such a system?

You can do this on any IP based system (which includes LANs).
Basically, you need to be able to ping the server and to have the RFP port allowed in the firewall.
Then you need to enable the option in the application. If this is an executable, you will need to configure this in the Options dialog or copy some lines from the LabVIEW.ini file into your EXE's INI file. You will also need to take the htm file created by the publishing wizard and make sure it points to your VI and that it is located in a place where it can be accessed from outside the server (read the LV help or search the site for more on this).
Then, you just need to enter the URL for that htm file in the browser on the client (e.g. 192.3.42.5/c/rfp.htm) and it should load.

SAP Installation Server & GUI 7.10 Remote Installation

Hello!
We have installed an SAP Installation Server (8.1.0.104) with SAP GUI 7.10 (Patch 9) and created a package for SAP GUI. On our old installation server there was a "remote installation" button, but here on the new version, we cannot see it. Have there been some significant changes?
Thanks for helpful answers!

I had basically the same question about remote installing the gui. Here is a response from OSS about it.
I am sorry but we do not provide a Client Push Installation mechanism.
but only a method to pull a package from an installation server.
Using for instance
<SERVER>\<***>\sapsetup /update /silent
for a pull scenario.
As stated in note 507996, tool like SMS can be used but you you use
the [nw]Sapsetup option
thanx

Remote office vdc registration on vcse - filter sip spam calls

Hi all, I have some doubts about registering remote offices vdc systems on our Cisco Expressway.
Actually remote vdc is natted on public ip and it receives random sip calls.
I understood the only solution is to deny sip protocol on firewall, even if I register remote vdc on our Expressway. Of course in this way remote office can receive only h323 calls.
Can anyone confirm if it is correct ?

Hello!
Did you try to register this 7940 before? Did you try to register any 7940 inside the office (not remote office)?
I think, you should try:
1) telephony service
cnf-file perphone
create cnf
2) to download wirmware files from cisco.com , put it onto CME and configure tftp server with firmware for 7940.
tftp-server flash:<file_name> alias <file_name>
telephony service
load 7940 <name_of_firmaware>
2) to see: debug ephone register
debug tftp events
If phone tries to download configuration and firmware from CME and what it tries to download.

Kirill

Run e-tester from a server and have staff remotely update scripts

Can we run the floating e-tester from a server and have staff remotely access the server to run and update scripts instead of installing the client on everyone's workstation?

Original Question:
Can we run the floating e-tester from a server and have staff remotely access the server to run and update scripts instead of installing the client on everyone's workstation?
There are different alternatives to consider and different ways to answer the question.
1) You can run e-Tester with a floating license from a server and have people to use remote desktop to run and create scripts.
Pros:
* Multiple users can be updating scripts in the server at the same time.
* There is no need to install e-Tester in any other computer.
Cons:
* If the max number of floating licenses is reached no other person can open another instance of e-Tester.
* Having multiple people running scripts in the Job scheduler will create conflicts therefore is not recommended. Running multiple instances of e-Tester manually shouldn't cause problems, but it is a slow way to do regression testing. The job scheduler can run a script after another without user intervention. Teamwork can be affected if the default settings are changed by different users.
* Running thru remote desktop(or any other remote tool such as vnc) is slower than having etester in the computer. The refresh rate of the screen tends to be slower.
* If multiple users are using the server resources at the same time it can slow down the work of others. The server can run out of memory or it will be slow because the CPU running near max capacity.
2) You can run eTester with a node lock license from a server and have people to use remote desktop to run and create scripts.
Pros:
* Multiple users can be updating scripts in the server at the same time.
* There is no need to install eTester in any other computer.
* Only one license is required.
Cons:
* Having multiple people running scripts in the Job scheduler will create conflicts therefore is not recommended. Running multiple instances of etester manually shouldn't cause problems, but it is a slow way to do regression testing. The job scheduler can run a script after another without user intervention. Teamwork can be affected if the default settings are changed by different users.
* Running thru remote desktop(or any other remote tool such as vnc) is slower than having etester in the computer. The refresh rate of the screen tends to be slower.
* If multiple users are using the server resources at the same time it can slow down the work of others. The server can run out of memory or it will be slow because the CPU running near max capacity.
Notes:
1) Having eTester installed in each individual's computer will allow the person to run tests with no worries about conflicts of server resources or job schedules trying to start an etester instance. Installing etester is a one time thing that takes in general less than 10 minutes.
2) Instead of sharing the server resources you can share the place where the scripts reside. You can place the scripts in a central location and and configure etester to read the scripts from there. Instructions on how to do this should be in the knowledge base (if not please let me know)(Don't be lazy Zuriel, paste the link here).
3) You can consider to have eManager Enterprise if you want to have better organization of the scripts. In eManager Enterprise you can relate your test cases to your scripts, you can run the scripts from a central location, it is less limited for scheduling scripts than the JobScheduler, and it can be accessed from anywhere inside the company with a web browser (for security reasons requires username and password). eManager Enterprise doesn't have the ability to create or update scripts, it uses scripts that were created in eTester already.
eManager can also create schedules conflicts if multiple runs are attempted. There are ways to deal with this situation by having multiple computers to run the tests. (Please post in another thread if more information is necessary).
I hope this helps.

Zuriel
