How to deploy a custom install of Firefox 12 using SCCM or MDT for Enterprise Clients

I'm trying to perform a custom install of Firefox 12 for our enterprise desktops and laptops to be deployed from Microsoft Deployment Tools (MDT) or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).
I've tried creating a custom app with the regular '''''Firefox Setup 12.0.exe" -ms''''' command, but when the users start the program it asks if they want this to be the default browser, whether they want to import favorites or shortcuts from other browsers, etc...
I followed the instructions on several websites to create a custom mozilla.cfg file, local-settings.js, override.ini, and a batch file to call everything, but all have failed.
I have a large business enterprise and would prefer to deploy the latest version of Firefox, but you guys sure don't make it easy.

I am having this problem also. The first time I start Firefox, I get the error "Failed to read the configuration file".
I created the following files:
Mozilla.cfg
Pref("browser.startup.homepage","http://xxxxxf");
lockPref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
lockPref("browser.rights.3.shown", false);
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2);
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
override.ini
[XRE]
EnableProfileMigrator=false
local-settings.js
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
My batch file looks like this:
"%~dp0firefox_setup_12.0.exe" -ms
REM Install 32-bit customisations
if exist "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0override.ini" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\"
if exist "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0mozilla.cfg" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\"
if exist "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0local-settings.js" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\"
The files were copied to the correct folders and I noticed that I got the settings from local-settings.js in my profile.
Not sure where I have gone wrong.
Thanks.

Installing MS Office Updates using SCCM 2012 patch management.

Hi,
We have SCCM 2012 in our customer environment, we would like to deploy MS office 2012 non-security updates using SCCM patch management. Can someone help me how to configure non-security updates on SCCM 2012 and deploy the same.
Regardsm
Madhan

The process of deploying non-security updates and security updates are the same.
As a side note:
To reduce the numbers of required updates, you can also download service packs, and other updates (msp files) and copy them to the update folder of your Office installation source. Then they will be installed as part of the Office deployment process.

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.

You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

Go to your contacts, find the contact that you wish to text, hit 'edit', and move that contact's numbers around until the mobile number is at the top. Arduous I know, but it works. Now when you go to text that person, the mobile number should be the default.
Best.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

I deleted all downloaded songs from my iphone but under Settings/About it still shows songs on my phone. How do I fix this? I need to use that storage space for other things.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

How to deploy the custom java application for self regaistration in portal?

hi,
I have created a custom java application in NWDS for Self Registration of new users.I am working on EP 7.02 and the standard self registration application is a Web dynpro java application.
How can i deploy my custom java application built as a par file in place of the Web dynpro java application?
Thanks,

Hi Amarys,
If you have developed the PAR file in NWDS then you can deploy the PAR in the server with NWDS ( [Check Required Settings |NWDS 7.0 does not deploy PAR;) or in server directly (system administrator > support >> portal runtime >> administration console)

How to make a custom instalation of OS 10.4

I have a MAC mini for which I want to make a custom instalation of MAC OS 10.4 and I was wondering if this was possible. My goal is to remove all the non ecentials from the OS and have the OS boot up directly to "Safari" and locking it there so no one has access to operating system. I use to be very proficient with MACs, but the was a long time back. I'm practicaly a novice now so I need a little help with this task. I would apreciate any help at all.
Thanks

I'm not familiar with "Launch" but another option is creating an additional user account or accounts without admin privileges (while disabling automatic login for the computer's admin account) and make use of Parental Controls included with Tiger for the additional user or user accounts.
With Parental Controls, you can select or grant access to Safari only for the limited user account or accounts under "This user can only use these applications:"
The user account will access to Safari only.

How to deploy a custom plugin in OVD 11g/ODSM 11g?

Hi,
I created a sample plugin and trying to deploy it using ODSM. Looks like there is no facility to do it as we used to do it using OVD Manager GUI. I copied the plugin jar file under the existing pluigns directory. Restarted OVD servers, ODSM but i am still not seeing the custom plugin in ODSM. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramnath

Ok, I found a work around for this issue.
I developed the plugin using OVD MAnager (10g), deployed it in OVD 10g server. Copied the deployed plugin into OVD 11g environment and it works!. So it is the only way to develope custom plugins in 11g by using OVD10g environment? Any other work around not involving 10g is highly appreciated.

How to monitor MySQL Server installed in Windows Server using Nagios

You can do this via NSClient as Gary posted. The NSClient is a communications system that allows nagios to send commands to a target system over the nsclient protocol and they are executed on the remote system. You will still have to build some kind of vbscript or plugin to run on the target system to do the actual query to check on mysql.There are other options to. If you enable snmp on your target computer you can use a few nagios plugins to query the snmp agent on the target computer to see if a service is running. To do this via snmp you will need this plugin "check_snmp_process.pl" fromthis site.Your check command will look something like this:check_win_process:= check_snmp_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "$USER6$" -n "$ARG1$" -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$The service definition will be like this:check_win_process!sqlservr!0!0This will check...

I installed Nagios Core in my Ubuntu workstation 10.04 for me to learn something new in my craft. I use this now to monitor our Windows Server 2008 with MySQL server installed as well as our Datalink Switch (DGS-1210-24). I searched on google on how to monitor a MYSQL server installed in Windows server using Nagios Core but i could not seem to find any. Could anybody who's expert in Nagios give me steps on how to do so. Thanks. All i found in google were steps in monitoring mysql installed in linux and nothing in windows server.

How to update a custom field of MARC table using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA

Hi,
I want to update a custom field (Appended field) of MARC table using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA. Please help me in this issue. I cannot use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA as this updated the MARC table record by record. I have to update bulk records at a time.
Thanks
Rahul.

Hi,
Use the Documentation given for struture in BAPI docuemntation...
For loading data into custom fields of MARC use the structure - BAPI_TE_MARC.
First, structures BAPI_TE_<NAME> (<NAME> = MARA, MARC, MARD, MBEW, MLGN, MLGT, MVKE, MARM, MAKT) and the appropriate check structures BAPI_TE_<NAME> (<NAME> = MARAX, for example) have to be extended by the customer to include the required fields. The structures that are delivered as standard only contain the relevant key fields. When new fields are added to this structure, you should ensure that a field has the same name as the field in the database table. Furthermore, the fields in the structures BAPI_TE_<NAME> can only be CHARACTER fields. Data element BAPIUPDATE is to be used for the fields in the check structure (exception to this: key fields.)
Parameters EXTENSIONIN and EXTENSIONINX are used for transferring data to the method. Field STRUCTURE contains the name of the structure (for example, BAPI_TE_MARA or BAPI_TE_MARAX). This names is used to identify the work area (for example, WA_BAPI_TE_MARA or WA_BAPI_TE_MARAX) to which the data is transferred. The remaining fields in parameters EXTENSIONIN or EXTENSIONINX contain data for the key fields (for example, the material number) and the data for customer-specific fields. The number of characters reserved in both parameters for the contents of the customer-specific fields must match the number of characters for the relevant field in the work area. If the number of required characters is less, the remaining characters are left blank. Only when all characters have been filled can the contact for an additional field be transferred. Bear in mind that only data for which an appropriate indicator has been set in the work area can be updated to the database.

Bhargava

How to deploy and run JDev 3.1 App using physical 3-tier Architecure

We have developed a business application in JDev using 3-tier approach. There is a business component project and a separate client application project in our workspace.
Now we want to deploy these projects on separate machines to take full advantage of physical 3-tier architecture. We want to go for thin clients to minimize deployment and maintainance issues. Please post your valueable comments or guidelines.

Your physical three tier options for deploying a Java thin-client using JDeveloper 3.1 against Oracle 8.1.7 is just one, deploying your application module as a Visibroker using our Visibroker CORBA support. In this scenario, your thin-client DAC application (together with the thin-client BC4J library) talk to the application module over IIOP.
If you were running JDev 3.2.2, you would have the additional three options available:[list]
[*]Deploy your application module as an EJB session bean in Oracle8i 8.1.7. In this scenario, your thin-client DAC application talks to the application module running inside the database over RMI-over-IIOP (as prescribed by EJB).
[*]Deploy your application module as a CORBA server in Oracle8i 8.1.7. In this scenario, your thin-client DAC application talks to the application module running inside the database over Oracle's session-based IIOP.
[*]Deploy your application module as an EJB session bean in WebLogics. RMI-over-IIOP is the thin-client-to-middle-tier protocol.

Deploy Internet explorer 11 with latest updates using SCCM 2012

Hello,
I'd like deploy IE11 with the latest updates included. The reason is that I want the IE 11 enterprise mode to be available as soon as IE11 gets installed.
I don't want to wait an update scan cycle to trigger the installation of the updates.
What is the best way to achieve that using SCCM 2012 ?
Regards,
Michel

Hi,
You have to capture the installation package with latest update by using IEAK 11 on the computer which has the IE11 with this feature.
GP to enable this feature:
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu
This is only for Windows 7 computer.
As I mentioned above, for Windows 8.1, we can only deploy Windows 8.1 update 1 to add this feature to IE11, since there is no separated update can be installed for IE11 on Windows 8.1 to implement this.
Windows 8.1
Update (32-bit version)
Windows 8.1
Update (64-bit version)
