How to move or copy drivers between WDS servers

Problem: getting the same driver sets on multiple WDS servers
At our company we have two sites and two Windows Deployment Services servers. The server at our main site had all the driver packages for the hardware we use and we wanted the other server to hold the same set of drivers. There were too much drivers
to re-create them manually on the other server. We found no 'normal' solution to this problem, like an export or import.
However on examining the contents of the DeploymentShare (or RemInst share) I found a folder 'Stores' containing a folder 'Drivers' which seemed to contain all drivers and a folder 'metadata' containing a database and a locked file...
Here's what we tried on a hunch and what turned out to be working:
Stop "Windows Deployment Services Server' service on the primary server.
Copy folder 'DeploymentShare\Stores\Drivers' with content to another location.
Start "Windows Deployment Services Server' service again on the primary server.
Stop "Windows Deployment Services Server' on the target server.
Remove or move original 'DeploymentShare\Stores\Drivers'-folder.
Put 'Drivers'-folder from primary server in 'DeploymentShare\Stores'-folder
Start "Windows Deployment Services Server' on the target server.
Behold! The target server contains and services all drivers like the primary server (-:
Use at your own risk...

Hi Angry Technician
I had exactly the same issue as you. I had copied all the RemoteInstall files and folders from the original WDS server to the new server.
The Driver Groups appeared, but not the driver files within the groups. However when I restarted the WDS server a second time, they all appeared. I didn't change anything in between, other than adding a Win8.1 boot image (which I highly recommend
instead of the Win7 one!)
I realise you've probably restarted your WDS server a bazillion times before now (the posts are quite old) but I thought this might help someone else.
Thanks

Can no longer move or copy files between drives (not a newbie issue!)

Copying and moving files between internal and external devices, and external to external devices is no longer working.
*For the first time in my life, I get a "Circle with a Bar through it" when attempting to move or copy files.*
This doesn't happen between the two internal drives at all (though I'm worried it might start). It happens between two HFS+J devices as well as HFS+J and FAT32 devices. I can delete files, create folders, and in some instances where things are acting funny, copy to, but not from the device. A noticed side effect that is now happening is that I can no longer move drive icons (CDs, DVDs, HDs) to their upper-right hand corner position on the desktop, if they didn't start there. They don't drop there, just staying where they originally sat (under a list of desktop shortcuts and files). It does not matter if the drives are USB or Firewire, and this never happened previous to about a month ago.
I have done all the basic stuff -- verify/repair drives, reboot multiple times, mount & dismount, change connection ports, backed up-reformatted-and restored the smallest drive, fixed preferences (not at all relevant), Disk Warrior repair the devices, set all permissions to R/W, check all device related infos, researched on-line for a week... Nothing. I have even taken the devices to PCs, where they work perfectly, and as expected.
This issue is apparently either a corruption, or a bug induced by Software Update, in the part of the system that handles files and file structures, or possibly the _USB and Firewire_ interfaces.
I just need to know where all those relevant parts are in the system folders, so I can attempt to restore them from a backup previous to the last "Software Update," (to be sure. And to bring this one step closer to being solved).
A system restore really is not an option, as that would require nearly two weeks of re-tweaking everything from the system to every piece of software included (updating the system about 10 times via software update, reinstalling 90% of the actual software packages... and then updating those multiple times, looking-up all the serials that get killed, etc.)
I have to correct this fast, as we need to move the files from the work drives to the archive drives before we run out of room. So any help would be very appreciated... even if you only know where a few of the system components are located (it just might be one of those, causing the issue).
---TIA

{The last link in this post is most relevant, except for your recent finding.}
The reference was to the User permissions, per each; as when these
become corrupted, the simple 'repair disk permissions' and other
basic duties do not find an error with them. That is because there is
nothing really wrong with them from that standpoint.
Another odd error can happen if one is resizing partitions in an Intel
based Mac, and also if one has or had a BootCamp partition and
wanted to reclaim space. But not always. Thankfully, the only time
I tried Windows on a Mac, the media install disc was corrupted so
it just didn't happen. That was Virtual PC and Windows on PPC.
Tiger brought with it the ability to non-destructively resize partitions.
However, it was not thought to be successful in non-Intel based Macs.
The discussion on that matter came up a few years ago, so someone
has undoubtably tried that in a PPC and reported findings online.
When file sharing between user-account created content runs amok,
then the system(s) will not allow the content to be moved or shared.
So, if any shared user-account created content (including drives
initialized or handled without permissions ignored, clones wrong,
etc) are not the problem, then how does one explain these wrong
ful action circles-with-lines, or action disallowed warning symbols?
There must be a simpler answer. Do you have cats which have
access to your computers in the off-hours? They do keyboard.
Some have been thought to have technical skills outside of the
usual coy and cute play-acting people think they are limited to.
I'm sticking to the cats theory for now; the time is 3:21AM here
and I only am up to get a drink and look outside at +5°F. calm.

How To Move Recovery Partition in between System & Data Partition To Extend System Partition?

Hello, I have recently purchase an ASUS S400CA Ultra Notebook and the hard drive has 1)EFI Partition & 3) Recovery Partitions with one of the recovery partitions being in between C:/ System & D:/Data partition. I am wanting to delete the D:/Data
partition to extend and maximize the C:/ System partition, but I am not familiar with how to do so with this recovery partition in between them.
Is there a way that I can move or copy the recovery partition that is in between C:/ & D:/ to the other side of D:\, delete the old recovery partition location and D:/ partition, then extend C:/ without destroying the recovery partition or any links,
etc. for the recovery partitions???
I do not want to delete any recovery partitions, only my D:/data partition because my C:/system partition is too small and I don't want to have to manually balance
my data & programs between the 2 partitions!
I just need to find a way that will allow me to move or copy this recovery partition that is in between C:/ & D:/ to the other side(right) of D:\, so I can delete its old recovery
partition location and the D:/ partition, then extend C:/ without destroying the recovery partition and / or any links, etc. for the recovery partitions???
I tried to provide a picture / screen shot of Disk Management, but the site wouldn't allow it because it needed to verify my account that I've had here for a long time! Go

how to configure FTP in linux server?

Hi,
If what you need is copying files between systems and all have sshd, you can use scp and it won't ask for a password if keys generated in machine1 from the user that will make the connection are trasfered to machine2.
You can try following this tutorial Link: [http://enrique.barbeito.org/blog/ssh-sin-contrasena/] It's in spanish but I think it's easy to follow; it's the one i followed to avoid password between some of my systems.

How To Move or Copy Files From Multiple Sources To MBP

I will shortly be taking delivery of a new MBP. Currently I have my files spread across an eMac Panther partition, a OS 9 partition, and several partitions on 2 different external hard drives (iPhoto library is on one and iTunes Library on another.
Now with a large HD on the MBP + Time Capsule I wish to organise files in a more orderly fashion onto the MBP. The only reason for the previous chaos has been dealing with too small disk space and I prefer a more orderly arrangement
Can someone more experienced than me please advise on the most efficient way to go about this as I have never transfered to a new computer before.
Tony

The usual procedure is to use Migration Assistant which will probably start automatically on the new Mac. This allows you to copy from another Mac or from other drives. This will copy almost everything if you choose but you can restrict what is copied too. It will copy your internet settings, passwords, Mail and so on. However much of the organisation will be as it already is so there are alternatives except that everything will be on the one drive.
If you start your old Mac in Target mode by holding the T key during startup you can connect it using a firewire cable and it will appear as an external drive on the new Mac. You can copy all the files that interest you and place them as you want. However you should note that new Macs expect to find certain information in certain locations. Migration Assistant attends to this automatically.
Your new Mac will probably be able to read the 2 external drives so you can either use Mig *** or simply drag & drop to copy everything across.
Depending on what volume of material you have to copy this can take several hours to complete. Firewire connections are the quickest I believe. Other types of network connection are slower.
I notice you mention OS9 partition. Intel Macs can't run OS9 (Classic) so any OS9 applications will be useless. Even some OSX applications may need to be updated to run on Leopard.
Hope this is a start for you.

How to move or copy a database to new server

Greetings All,
Oracle Enterprise 11g r2, on a Windows2008 platform.
I would appreciate some advice regarding moving/copying a database to a new server. Some of the information below may not be pertinent to my goal. Please be patient as I am a newbie.
I have installed oracle and created a database (prod03) on the new/target server. I created the same tablespaces (and datafiles/names) as are on the existing/source server (prod01), except that on the new/target server (prod03) there is 1 more data file for the USERS tablespace than there is on the existing/source server (prod01).
My initial thought was to perform a expdp full=y.
The database contains 220 schemas, when I performed an expdp full=y estimate only it indicated 220Gb. I think this would take much more time to export and then import than what I hope to be able to do below.
I would like to be able copy the datafiles from the source server prod01 server over to the target server prod03, some names/locations will change.
One scenario I found (http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_db_copy.htm) was to backup the control file to trace on the old/source server (prod01). Copy everything to the new/target server. Tweak the file that creates the new control file.
Step 4 of the above mentioned link says to change
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "PROD01" NORESETLOGS to
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "PROD03" RESETLOGS
Notice the change from REUSE to SET. I am not sure if this is right for my situation.
Could I issue a backup control file to trace on the target server (prod03), add the reference to the additional datafile. Copy over all of the datafiles for all of the tablespaces (users,system/sysaux/undotbs1,temp),
Delete the existing control file, and generate the new control file.
Then perhaps issue a startup resetlogs or startup recover?
Thanks for your time,
Bob

So unless someone provides me with an rman script I can't use rman.google is your friend
Simply telling someone to get the experience dose not help. So your post is useless to me.I suppose you do not have experience with "old-school" manual cloning as well.
Import of entire 200GB DB with datapump or imp will also require some experience otherwise it will be a long-long exercise.
So, basically, any advise may be useless to you, because of your "the fact is I don't have the experience. Nor do I have the time to obtain the experience."

How to move *MY* uploaded videos between different itunes - not sync

I've uploaded a number of videos I own and/or created to iTunes, so they appear as movies under my iTunes library. I've also successfully moved my iTunes library to a number of different macs I have using the kb articles.
Now what I need to do is move SOME, not all, of the videos, to another system and another exsiting and robust iTunes library. I don't want to move the entire iTunes library, my music, or photos, and I don't want to move all the movies or videos - just a couple of them.
Is there an EASY way to do this that does not involved wiping out an entire existing iTunes library???? and then trying to merge the old one back with the new one?
Ideally, I would like to shove them onto stick and move them via USB.....
Thank you in advance.

In iTunes, select the items then drag them from the iTunes window to the USB stick on the desktop.
Plug it into the other computer then File > Add to library and select the USB stick.

Move or Copy pages between documents

In the Adobe Help Menu it says... If you copy a page from a document that has a different size than the document you are copying to, it will be resized to the dimensions of the destination.
I can not get this to work. Can copy from doc to doc, but ad size remains the same. Any help with this please.

Yup, I think you're right Mr. Mike. I also think that they are trying to make "it" sound like they're making water into wine! Like I said, I'm just plumb frustrated w/trying to learn this program 2day. I'll do better 2morrow... I hope! Thanx all for your help.

Copy data Between different servers.

Hello Floks!
I´m trying to migrate my essbase server to another machine. All is done, planning is installed and is working. When I copy the database folders (in my case Hyperion\Essbase\App\...) to the new server and i want to start the database, it throws an error: +Error: 1002097 Unable to load database [NCCost]+.
If I delete .esm file, database starts succesfully. But, when I refresh essbase from planning, .pag and .ind files are removed. So, when I go to forms, I don´t see any data.
Any idea? Is there any way to modify .esm file and do it work?
Thanks for your time guys!
Fabián.

Hi Daylan!
Yes, I think that this is the best way, but, old essbase has a lot of data (it´s a production server). We think that this will take a lot of time, but now, I think that is the best way. I will research a few hours more for other export/import method, but I dont hope that exists.
The issue is that the servers are in differents networks.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks for your time Daylan!

Fabián.

How to access a Network Share between two servers in same data centre

I have two dedicated servers (both Windows 2012 Server) hosted in a data centre somewhere. I want to share a folder on one server with the other server, but it's obviously not as straight forward as one might think. My servers are called "Maximus"
and "Apprentice".
On Maximus I shared a folder by right clicking on it and choosing "Share with... / Specific People", I then typed in the name of a local user account which also exists on Apprentice with the same name and password. (so each server has a local
user account with the same name and password).
So then on Apprentice, I was hoping I could access the share (while being logged in as this user with whom the folder was shared) by simply typing "\\ipaddress\sharename" into the address bar in file explorer. Unfortunately it comes
back with "Windows can not access [ip address]".
Now, I do have a website setup on the IP address for Maximus. This is actually the reason I want to create this share. I need the second server for load balancing and need to share IIS config as well as the website itself. (So I will need
two shares eventually, but for now I'm just trying to get one to work). I don't know if the fact that the ip address is pointing to the website is causing me problems here or if it's something else.
Are there any network gurus out there who can tell me what the issue is and how to resolve it?

I can ping both servers in either direction, but I believe I may have found the problem. Apparently my host is blocking port 445 which Windows wants to use to connect to the share and they will not unblock it.
Is there a way to connect to the share through a different port?
To my knowledge, you cannot change the port. However, you can try disabling your security software for testing. If this fixes the problem then you need to adjust your security software configuration so that traffic on this port is not blocked or filtered.

How do I load balance TFTP between two servers and a client on the same subnet?

Hi,
I have trawled through several documents and tried umpteen different configs, all to no avail. I have a PXE boot client trying to access a boot file via TFTP from a couple of TFTP servers on the same VLAN/subnet. For HA purposes I want to load balance the two TFTP servers.
Config is currently;

I have read the doco by Ivan Kovacevic amongst many others but as my clients and servers are on the same subnet, the config doesnt work.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please. The devices are ACE 4710 running A3(2.3).
Thanks

Try using the following configuration:
Note: Please make sure to configure also a udp probe to probe udp port 69, in case the application is down.
You need to configure a management policy on the interface when using a UDP probe.
That is because, when port 69 on the server will be unreachable, the server will send an ICMP unreachable.
ACE will consider a udp probe as "failed" only when it sees ICMP unreachable.
Without a management policy-map, the ICMP unreachable message will be dropped.
Also, add an ICMP probe to the rserver because udp probe will not be enough when the physical interface will be down.
That is because UDP is a connection-less protocol. To consider a UDP probe successfull, ACE need to see NO answer from the server in respose to the probe.
The ACE will not see any answer from the server when the interface is down and thus, will consider the probe as "sucessful".
With ICMP probe attached to the rserver, you also test the reachability of the server and not only the UDP port.
Here is the configuration (of course, you can chage the names of the of the objects to the name you are using if you want) :
access-list ALL line 10 extended permit ip any any
probe udp TFTP
port 69
interval 5
passdetect interval 15
