How do I manually start mDNSResponder

Does anyone know how to start mDNSResponder without restarting the Mac?
Summary of issue, is that one Mac (always the same one) on my network periodically fails to load mDNSResponder at start up. I know how to get it working which involves a Reboot which I'd like to avoid further. All machines use Leopard 10.5.6 connecting wirelessly to Airport Extreme.
I have a related article which describes more detail but as it's been a complete unknown to me until now; I wished to re-ask my question in a new topic since now I have a better idea of what I want from the forum and can be more clear about it.
Thanks, Cheers,.

Thanks for your info. Starting to think I'm all wrong about this.
I have no error messages telling me it's not running, just services not available. I now suspect it's it running but not correctly.
I suspect this to be the culprit for my problem because when the issue arises the way I can fix it is to turn off the airport card and reboot, turn card back on after restart will result in the firewall asking me if I want to allow "configd" and "mDNSResponder". As soon as I allow the mDNSResponder all comes right instantly. I had one instance where it only asked for the "configd" allow and the issue remained active.
I have noticed that when the issue is active i.e. no "shared" area in Finder sidebar or have the ability to connect to any network identities, the "configd" and "mDNSResponder" are active, quitting them and allowing them to restart doesn't change anything.
A couple of time I will also get a message stating the local hostname is already in use and will be changed. Also our network isn't automatically selected from the list, as would normally happen. I don't know if this is related, seems like it might be.
I'm also not sure if another major issue is related where the machine is signed up to the wrong local network IP. This has recently got a lot better after one of Apples recent updates. Still happens form time to time though and only happens with the one machine.
I checked out the Airport Extreme settings and reset it and setup network from scratch. Same issues with same machine, never with the other machines which includes a PC and another Mac.
Going to try something I should have tried ages ago as part of normal trouble shooting. Find out if the network settings are corrupted. Will let you know what I find.
Maybe the easiest way to fix this will be to trash the machine and buy a new iMac.

How do I manually start a workflow to...

I have a list with 2000+ items in it. I create a 2013 workflow in SPD that will look at an item and if it date is less than 1/1/2013 it will create a copy of the item on a list used for archiving, then delete the existing list item.
My question is how do i manually start this workflow on the entire list (instead of selecting 1 item at a time)?
Thanks
James T.F

@Romeo
I've found to potential PowerShell scripts that could launch a list workflow from powershell, but they both throw errors for me.
# URL of the Site
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "https://sharepointsrv/site1"
$manager = $web.Site.WorkFlowManager
# Name of the list
$list = $web.Lists["Shared Documents"]
# Name of the Workflow
$assoc = $list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName("On Item Created","en-US")
$data = $assoc.AssociationData
$items = $list.Items
foreach($item in $items)
$wf = $manager.StartWorkFlow($item,$assoc,$data,$true)
$manager.Dispose()
$web.Dispose()
this gives me the following error
Exception calling "StartWorkflow" with "4" argument(s): "Value cannot be null."
At line:15 char:28

#Getting a Workflow manager object to work with.
$wfm = New-object Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager($spSourceweb)

$sub = $wfm.GetWorkflowSubscriptionService()

$WF = $sub.EnumerateSubscriptionsByList($spSourcelist.ID) | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "$TargetWorkflow"}

$wfis=$wfm.GetWorkflowInstanceService()
Foreach($item in $spSourceList){

$object = New-Object 'system.collections.generic.dictionary[string,object]'
$object.Add("WorkflowStart", "StartWorkflow");
$wfis.StartWorkflowOnListItem($WF, $item.ID, $object)}
Which then gives me this error.

How to manually start telnetd service With Solaris 8

"ps -ef | grep telnetd", shows telnetd daemon is not running (though telnetd is listed and uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf). Checked /etc/services and /etc/hosts, but found no abnormality. How do I manually start up telentd service? Why telnetd failed to startup automatically upon system startup.

You're kinda are walking on your own comments ...
in.telnetd doesn't "run" at system startup. The inetd daemon controls in.telnetd and inetd is controlled by /etc/inetd.conf. Assuming in.telnetd is uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf, just run "netstat -na | grep 23" - you should see port 23 in a LISTEN state. inetd is doing the listening in this case. Once someone actually tries to connect to telnet on that server, THEN you'll see a in.telnetd process physically running on the box because inetd will fork off in.telnetd and hand the incoming telnet session to this new process.
P.S. don't use telnet unless you have some application that physically must use telnet to do something on a box. Disable telnet completely and use SSH.

BIAPPS how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date?

Dears experts,
how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date while conducting incremental load IN DAC?
Please advise me.
thanks,
Joe.

You can set those dates in the DAC system parameters tab. You should see lots of $$xxxxxx parameters.
If I may, I'd suggest you use the OBI Applications forum for questions on DAC.

How to manually start Autoarchive?

I have set my autoarchive as standard. run it every 14 days. and some subfolders are to be run every 7 days.
I have problems with my folders are now full and also I have problems that my Outlook is VERY laggy when autoarchive runs.
i wonder how i can manually trigger this autoarchive so I have more control of when it is runned.

I Googled "outlook manually run autoarchive" and this was the first hit. Not sure why though because it doesn't tell me what I was looking for.
If you're running Outlook 2010 like me, this is probably what you're looking for:
"If you wish to manually run AutoArchive now, go to the File menu and select Info, click on Cleanup Tools, then Mailbox Cleanup and then click on the Auto Archive button." (I
got it from here)

How do I manually delete iTunes when I want to re-install the latest program? Error says I have no permission so how can I get permission?

How do I manually delete iTunes and all its bits prior to re-installing the version 11 when I get a message saying I don't have permission.
I am the sole owner of my p.c. and nobody else uses it. How do I "get permission" from my own p.c.?
The p.c. is a Dell Vostro running windows 7 (64 bit) After giving up and exiting iTunes there was an error notification saying msvcr 80 is missing from your computer...Also, when I went (blindly) to administrators etc there was a red question mark against a gobbledegook long line apart from David pc which is me. Would this be some malevelant thing? Help!

Hi David,
Open the start menu, then select Control Panel in the right hand column. Open the Programs and Features section, type Apple in the search box at top right. You need to uninstall the components in the order suggested in the user tip.
Once all have been uninstalled reboot and use Windows Explorer to locate the named folders and delete them. Then reinstall.

How do I manually uninstall FIM Portal and Service 2010

I installed Forefront Identity Manager 2010 as follows:
Server 1: FIM Sync Service
Servers 2, 3: SharePoint Farm, FIM Portal and Service
I've had issues from the installation. When installing FIM Portal and Service on Server 2 it failed to recognize fim sync service on server 1. We had FIM service unavailable errors in most usage scenarios (even though asmx returned service description).
I was able to use RunAs different user to start browser as the service account used to install and run the FIM service, browse to the identity management site using
http://localhost and saw the fim portal. I was never able to see the portal using DNS address or server name from the server 2 or any other computer on the network, or using any other account (although I checked the option to
enable portal access for authenticated users).
I tried to uninstall - this went through all the steps but failed during apply and did a rollback. However, subsequent attempts to change, repair or uninstall all fail with message that the site was not found, please create it...
I would like to manually remove FIM Service and Portal and begin again. How do I manually remove FIM Service and Portal when uninstall fails?
Thanks,
David Saylor

Are you getting this error message while uninstalling FIM?
FIM Portal and Service is trying to find a site which is not there anymore. Just add the url which FIM was looking into the Central Administration >> Alternate Access Mappings
Save and exit out from Central Administration and try to uninstall now and it should work. It worked for me.

Manually starting Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and HTTP Listener

I have installed Oracle 9i on Solaris 8 and it stopped with an "Out of Memory" error during the Starter Database creation. I have fixed the memory problem and have now manually started the Database Configuration Assistant manually and managed to install a new database. Now I am trying to start the Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and the Apache HTTP Listener, but I cannot find out how to do this so that I can continue on with and complete the installation process from where I left off.
Do anyone know how to do this? I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.
Thanks
Anthony

Lets start with what product you are installing and why. An Oracle database installation, in and of itself, does not install an HTTP server.
Of course one might also wonder why you are, just now, installing software so old it is in desupport.

TS3288 how do i manually uninstall intunes

i need to know how do i manually uninstall itunes from my computer?

it says that they cant find the itunes.msi
Many thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How can I get started if I am not an advanced user but still want to config ATS660 external trigger?

There r 2 groups VIs provided by the company: easy VIs and advanced VIs. And set external trigger VI is in the latter one. The manual indicates that only the person who r very familar with the ATSApi Application Programming Interface should attempt using the Advaced VIs. Unfortunately I am not that kind of advanced user. If I want to learn all these stuff(like how to call the VIs in correct order), how can I get started?
I will be really appreciated if I can get some help here. all I have now is the ATS660 User Manual and ATS-VI Software Manual. I wonder if there should be other useful manuals, like NI-DAQ user manual that can help to understand how to call/config the device in right order.
Thank u in advance.
Dyna----an eager learner

ya, u r right. That was what happened to me.
The company is Alazartech. This is a PCI waveform digitizer.
I've visited the www.alazartech.com , and found no further info about how to call this subVIs in correct order. So I am asking here , hope that any one is familiar with this stuff.
Anyway, thank u for ur reply.
I will keep focusing here and expecting some replies.

How to do manual return

Hi guyz..
I'm still a fresh on this, may i know how to do manual return in sap b1, glad if anyone could help.. =)

Hello,
In case of Manual return ie without Base Document also if A/P or A/R invoice closed
For Purchase with "Excise Tax" u could only start with Goods Return and based on this as base Document u Need to post Outgoing Excise Invoice and then the A/P Credit Memo (In remarks u could provide the invoice no for reference) .
For Sales with "Excise Tax" u could only start with Return and based on this as base Document u Need to post Incoming Excise Invoice and then the A/R Credit Memo (In remarks u could provide the invoice no for reference) .
For Vat Based
if A/P Invoice is posted and closed then you need standalone A/P Credit Memo to reverse
if A/R Invoice posted tand closed hen you need standalone A/R Credit Memo to revere .
Regards;
