How to find which devices are still using affected domain controller

Hi Everyone,
We have a 5 Domain controller's in a Site. And we are going to decommisson one of our affected DC in a site.
Can you please let me know how to find the log files to see which devices are still using this domain controller.

Neel,
From strictly an Active Directory perspective, there is nothing special you need to do to decommission a domain controller in a site. There are many processes that automatically balance out and recreate connections as needed without any user intervention.
The DC Locator process will automatically direct clients to active domain controllers, there is nothing you need to do here.
What you need to be concerned with are things like the following:
DNS - Are you running AD integrated DNS and is the DC you are decommissioning hosting that roll - if so, is it the ONLY DC in the
site that is running DNS? You'll need at least one in the site.
DHCP server - Is the DC you are demoting a DHCP server? You'll need to account for that.
Global Catalog - Is the DC you are demoting a Global Catalog server? You'll need at least one in the site.
File Shares - Is the DC hosting any files shares? You'll need to move those and make sure you redirect your clients.
Was this DC a set as a Preferred Bridgehead Server? You'll need to undo that first.
Those are the big ones that come to mind. Decommissioning a DC is easy if you have prepared properly. The others that have replied have offered some great advice which you should follow. Do your homework and you should be fine.
Hope that helps

How to find which tables are being used by a workbook.

I was asked by the client to generate a report which will show the Workbook name and it's corresponding tables/views.
Any idea on how to use the EUL tables for this purpose. I know the SQL query to find the tables in case the workbook was run at least once. But I want to show the Workbook and it's table details even the report was never run.
Advanced thanks,
Lokesh.

Hi Jay
While we're on the subject of scripts, here's a couple more you might like:
Script 1:
=========
This one shows you how many times an item has been used. It is useful for determining how often users make use of items in a folder. It could be used as research for a materialized view, for dropping items which are not used, or for understanding usage.
SELECT
OBJ.OBJ_NAME FOLDER,
EXP.EXP_NAME ITEM,
COUNT(QPP.QS_ID) USAGE
FROM
EUL5_OBJS OBJ,
EUL5_QPP_STATS QPP,
EUL5_EXPRESSIONS EXP
WHERE
OBJ.OBJ_NAME = <Folder Name>
AND OBJ.OBJ_ID = EXP.IT_OBJ_ID
AND INSTR(QPP.QS_OBJECT_USE_KEY,OBJ.OBJ_ID) > 0
AND INSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QPP.QS_ID),EXP.EXP_ID) > 0
GROUP BY
OBJ.OBJ_NAME,
EXP.EXP_NAME;
Script 2:
=========
This one examines the whole EUL and displays a count of the number of times a worksheet has been run by folder. It also shows the date and time of the last run. This one is useful to determine the most and / or least popular worksheets. Adjusting the ORDER BY clause can throw up some interesting results.
SELECT
OBJ.OBJ_NAME FOLDER,
MAX(QPP.QS_CREATED_DATE) LAST_DATE,
QPP.QS_DOC_OWNER OWNER,
QPP.QS_DOC_NAME WORKBOOK_NAME,
QPP.QS_DOC_DETAILS SHEET_NAME,
COUNT(QPP.QS_ID) USAGE
FROM
DRAKE.EUL5_OBJS OBJ,
DRAKE.EUL5_QPP_STATS QPP
WHERE
INSTR(QPP.QS_OBJECT_USE_KEY,OBJ.OBJ_ID) > 0
GROUP BY
OBJ.OBJ_NAME,
QPP.QS_DOC_OWNER,
QPP.QS_DOC_DETAILS,
QPP.QS_DOC_NAME
ORDER BY
OBJ.OBJ_NAME,
COUNT(QPP.QS_ID) DESC;
I'm considering a blog entry of useful EUL scripts. Anyone interested? Yes - either reply here or drop me a line.
Best wishes

How to find which drivers are missing?

My laptop model no is Hp Pavillion dv6 1337tx. Someday ago I installed Windows 7 32 bit OS and also installed all drivers from the HP site. Still in the device manager I can see som drivers are missing. What can those be and how can I identify those missing drivers and solve this problem?
I am attaching a screenshot of the device manager showing some drivers are missing.
This question was solved.

Your image has not yet been approved by a moderator.
Determining what the devices are is a one at a time process. On each unknown device or device without drivers, right click on the device and select properties. In the properties window select the Details tab and hardware ids in the property dropdown. Post the PCI\VEN string as seen in the following image for each device here in your post. Once that is done we can let you know what the device is.
This is where the drivers for your notebook are located. Do you know which chipset is installed?
Best regards,
erico

How to find which sequence name is used in a table

Hi..
I have a table.. it uses some sequence name..
But how can we find that the table is using so and so sequence...
From which USER_* table is used for that
thanks

user5451445 wrote:
I know this is an old thread but I was in the position of the original author and I use this, based on responses here I make this query that can be useful when the sequence is attached to the table using triggers (the most common scenario). I would agree that the most common use of a sequence is probably to generate a PK for a table.
I would agree that, when using a sequence to generate a PK, using a trigger is best practice.
But those two agreements do NOT add up to validating you assumption that "attaching" a sequence to a table using a trigger is the most common scenario.. Many shops feel that triggers are inherently evil and forbid there use. Even without that, many developers refuse to use the facilities of the database and insist on putting everything in their app code. Thus, even when using a sequence, they embed it in their app, thus allowing the use of the sequence to be bypassed by other code.
And in the case of someone trying to locate the use of the trigger, they must keep in mind that not all application code is in PL/SQL modules - it may very well exist completely outside of the database and thus be invisible to any query you could run on the database.
Let's say we have a table tblproceso and a sequence proceso_id_seq, we wrote a trigger that put the next value from the sequence on every INSERT. With this query we can see in what table we use sequences like 'proceso_id_seq':
select trigger_body, table_name
from user_triggers
where triggering_event = 'INSERT'
and UPPER(dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('TRIGGER', trigger_name)) LIKE '%PROCESO_ID_SEQ%'
This will show the trigger body and the name of the table where it's used
Hope this can help other users with this scenario

How to find which all workbook is using Database function ( User Defined)

Hi All,
Is it possible to find out which all workbook is using Database function( User Defined).
Thanks,

Hi,
If I had to do this detective work, I would probably do the following:
1. Activate for a period of time the function, eul5_post_save_document. This function when activated is triggered at the time a workbook is saved. If you look at its columns, it save the worksheet's SQL.
2. Next, I would parse the EUL5_WORKSHEET_SQL.SQL_SEGMENT column which is a varchar2(4000) column. There are many effective Oracle functions which could aid you in this effort (e.g. instring or perhaps a regular expression function).
I hope this helps.

SharePoint Databases - How to determine which ones are being used and which ones aren't

I am not sure where to exactly post this question. On the SQL Server side or on a SharePoint side.
I am a SQL Server Database Administrator who is monitoring some SharePoint databases. On a daily basis it seems that they are creating new databases but don't delete the databases that they are no longer using. For example, they might be testing
on a development server and if things aren't working properly instead of asking that the databases be deleted they just go ahead and create new databases to do what ever they need to do. Is there a way on the SQL Server side to determine which SharePoint
databases are being used and which ones aren't being used? Or does one determine this information through the SharePoint Central Administration console?
lcerni

Hello,
The following query gives you the databases now in use.
SELECT
DISTINCT d.name
FROM
sys.dm_tran_locks
tl INNER
JOIN sys.databases
d
ON
tl.resource_database_id
= d.database_id
Hope this helps.

How to find which tables are filling by a transaction

hi ,
what is the process to know which talbes are filled by a particular transaction eg, by using tcode vd03 we create customer , which we can see in kna1 tables.

Use trace like
- SQL trace, [ST05 (doc)|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/cb632772cd0cd4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] will show you the tables accessed.
- performance trace, [SE30 (doc)|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/00/e0a73e5b7a424de10000000a114084/frameset.htm] will show you the tables accessed, the FM used, etc.
NB: VD03 is an inquiry transaction, i suppose you meant VD01

How to find that reports are in use or not?

HI experts
I have some set of reports under one InfoArea
I want to know that any user is using them or not?
And if someone is using then I want to find date on which it was last used..
Can you please tell me??
Regards
Swati

Hi Swathi,
You can only get this information if the query/ workbook is enabled for statistics logging in transaction RSDDSTAT.
If it is enabled you can goto table RSDDSTAT ( BW 3.5) or RSDDSTAT_OLAP( BI 7.0 ) to see the users who executed the query . These tables store all the information per query session and you will find more than one rows per session but you can find the information you want i.e. users executing a particular query / workbook.
Also Tcode: SU01 will give you all the user lists in the server.
Regards
Pcrao.

How to finds applications that are still running?

How do I find applications that are running on my computer? I can't install a new version of Google Drive because I get the message that this application is open. When I bring up the panel to do a force quit I do not see that application listed. Once I find the app running how do I quit it?
Thanks for any tips.
Bryan

Use Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities). After opening it, go to View menu (on the menu bar) > All Processes, and quit the processes related to the apps that the installer needs.
Another way is to start up in safe mode by holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting. This allows you to install any application without any problem, as no third-party apps are running

How to find which files are in the library

Hi there,
I keep almost all of my library as referenced files on external hard-drives because of the small hard-drive that my MBP has. BUT over time I've added some pictures here and there that are stored in my Aperture library. I would like to relocate these pictures, but I don't know which ones they are.
I can go picture by picture and find them, but I would like an easier way.
Is there a way to find all the pictures that are stored in the aperture library?

Bring up the entire Library, for instance by clicking on the All Photos Album.
Open the search HUD and use the 'plus' button to add a search by File Status.
You now have a choice of searching by online/offline and managed/referenced.

How to find which displays are supported

Is there a way that I can find out what monitors are supported in 10.5.4? Is there a file in one of the directories that shows the various drivers? I had been using my Sony KLV-S32A10 as an external monitor, and it worked fine in Leopard 10.5.2, but with the upgrade it just creates an unreadable mess on the screen. I think that there must have been a change in the drivers and for some reason the Sony is not supported. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.

Your best bet is to go to Sony's website and see if they have updated drivers for it.

Find which devices are End of Support

Is there a way to show devices that have passed the End of Support date?

Yes - there are several ways to find this information within SNTC. We refer to this information as LDOS "Last Day of Support".
One way to do this is to generate a report called the "Contract Management Report (CMR)". In this report, there is a sheet that is called LDOS. The LDOS sheet will tell you all the devices that are past LDOS.
If you need help generating a CMR report, please see the how-to-videos.
