How would SCCM treat a re-imaged machine without SCCM Client installed on it.

I would like to understand how Configuration Manager would treat a machine on which OS is rebuild if the machine is currently showing client=YES and SCCM Client is not installed after OS rebuild.
Would it create a new record for this machine in SCCM once the machine is discovered or merge it with existing record?

The only thing that flips client=no to client=yes is heartbeat discovery (which is sent by the ConfigMgr client). There's no mechanism that would flip to client=no (except the clear install flag task). So the resource will age out eventually (if AD
discovery does not update the resource for example).

How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software? Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology. I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

Actually, there is a Nik/Nikon connection — but I am pretty sure it is irrelevant to the OP's question. The connection is that Capture NX2 was written as a joint venture between Nikon and Nik. (The name similarity is a coincidence.)
Capture NX2 is a cool program that incorporates the features of Nik's Viveza and Nikon's Raw processing engine, along with some other powerful image adjustment features. It provides, like Aperture, a losses workflow. Unlike Aperture, the adjustments (Edit Steps in C-NX terminology) are saved in the original NEF file along with the un-altered raw data. Multiple versions can be saved in a single NEF.

Existing SCCM Client installed again after removing client or imaging

Hello,
I have a question on two different scenarios for SCCM client deployment. Client Push and AD System Group Discovery is enabled.
In both cases, I am trying to figure out if/how the SCCM client might get automatically re-installed.
Scenario 1: An existing SCCM client has its client removed. Will it get re-installed?
Scenario 2: An existing SCCM client gets re-imaged (no SCCM client on image) using the same name. Will the client be installed?
Thanks
Angelo

Thanks for the quick response. We do use ConfigMgr to deploy images so my main question really revolves around CM reinstalling the client on existing machines where it was then removed.
It looks like there is a way to do this by changing the items you mention in your response. I'm just not sure what it should be changed to in order to accomplish my goal.
This link shed some light on the issue but I'm still unsure on what specific changes to make.

Here are our settings as of now:
Delete Aged Discovery Data - Enabled - 90 Days on Saturdays
Clear Install Flag - Disabled
Heartbeat Discovery - Enabled - 1 week
Assuming the settings above, what would happen if a client was removed today? Would it ever get reinstalled? Let's say I wanted to have the client reinstalled in approx. 2 days of removal?
Thanks so much

How do I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, i.e combine a number of bookmark files

I'm setting up a laptop and want to have all the bookmarks from my desk machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in end up in one file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

You need to combine all the links to one HTML file.
You only need a file with Anchor links like this:
<pre><nowiki>

If you export bookmarks to an HTML file then you create a copy of your bookmarks and you edit that copy and you do not affect the original bookmarks.

SCCM Client Install Loop

Hello,
I am using SCCM 2012 R2 with CU3 and I identified an issue for some SCCM clients installed on 2012/2012R2 servers.
The client keeps being resinstalled everyh 5/6 hours.
I believe it's because of the ccm evaluation failing.
I found could find the following infos :

I used the client Push to install the client so I first deploy the version 5.00.7958.1000 then install the update CU3.
I already tried to uninstall/reinstall the client but it's still the same.
Please, let me know if you already experienced the same issue and found a solution.
Thank you.

Site Code for SCCM Clients installed from Secondary Site Server

Hello,
We have started the implementation of SCCM 2012 R2 at our network. We have setup a Primary site (JFO) server & pushed out the installation of SCCM clients to the local subnet. Things went fine.
We have installed a Secondary site (ATC) at a remote network. We have tested client installation in the installation wizard we specify to install the client from the Secondary server. When SCCM client installed from the Secondary server, the site
code that appears on the client in the control panel->Configuration Manager client settings is the site code of the primary site and not the secondary site.
Is this behavior is normal

Ultimately, secondary sites do *not* manage clients and so will never be assigned to the secondary site. However, do note that resources in the console that represent systems that do not have the client agent may show the site code of the secondary site
if they fall within a boundary group associated with that secondary site. This is done so that client push can be initiated from the correct site. More gory details at http://blog.configmgrftw.com/secondary-sites-and-boundary-groups/

Deploy Images with SCCM Client Installed

Hi everyone.
there's one thing I have in mind for a while and haven't got a solution for it
We use SCCM 2012 to build and create our master image with a Task Sequence
one task before the syspreping is "prepare configuration manager client", which from my understanding and from technet - resets all the client's unique configuration.
conclusion - the SCCM Client is installed and "Syspreped" on our base image
in that case, assuming we still use the same SCCM client version, is there a way to save time during the Deploy task sequence?
the "Setup windows and ConfigMgr" step is required and it installs the SCCM Client all over again, even though it is already included in our master image.
thanks
Tamir Levy

First, as noted by Daniel, the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task does much more than simply installing the ConfigMgr agent. This is clearly indicated by the name of the task (before the "and") "Setup Windows".
The are no true advantages to having the client agent in the image. If you are building your image with ConfigMgr though, it is unavoidable. Yes having it in the image should save time by not having to reinstall the pre-reqs -- most are pretty trivial though
but you may gain a bit although I can't say I've ever timed it.
There is no time savings to be had here, the client agent must be either installed or re-installed during the deployment TS, this is unavoidable. You'll need to look elsewhere if this is a required goal.

How to delete a file from time machine without entering time machine mode ?

Is there a terminial hack or a third-party app to delete a backed up file from the finder and at the same time from time machine without having to enter time machine mode, and is there a shortcut to do so ?

Please post your code using code tags (click on CODE above the text area, when posting)
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");Why octet-stream? Set the correct mime-type.
String disHeader = "Attachment; Filename=\"filename\"";The filename should just be the file's name. Not the complete path to the file! This will tell anyone where the file is located on the server. It's also inconvenient because by default,the browser will suggest it as the name for the download.
Your way of writing to the output stream is just plain wrong. See this snippet (picked from [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html])
        BufferedInputStream input = null;
        BufferedOutputStream output = null;
        try {
            // Open streams.
            input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            // Write file contents to response.
            byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
            int length;
            while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                output.write(buffer, 0, length);
            // Finalize task.
            output.flush();
        } finally {
            // Gently close streams.
            close(output);
            close(input);
        }

Reloaded Machines Not Getting Client Installed

We recently moved our FCS/MOM solution over to a new FEP/SCCM solution. Everything was going great until we started reloading some workstations. In the past with MOM a reloaded workstation (from scratch) would automatically have the MOM client
as well as the FCS client reinstalled.
However, in our new scenario, the reloaded workstations are not getting anything. The SCCM server continues to believe the SCCM client and FEP client are still install on those workstations and continue to report a very old "last communicated"
date.
What do I need to setup to get SCCM to reinstall clients as needed? So far manually deleting the machine from SCCM and having it rediscover is the only thing I can get to work. However, there must be an automated route?
I'd appreciate any help!

Once again Jason, you are wrong. MOM pushes out it's own agent. As I already mentioned WSUS pushes out FCS.
So lets go down the list of your concerns, shall we?
proper permissions - As I already mentioned, had you bothered to read, it comes preconfigured.
configuration - As I already mentioned, had you bothered to read, it comes preconfigured.
firewall exclusions - Part of the setup is handling your own firewall as is true with 99% of all software solutions. Not sure what your point is here.
DNS resolution - You'll have to explain yourself here. DNS is typically already up and running in an active AD environment.
I'm not really sure what the hell your problem is anyway. 1. SCCM can autoinstall the client on any machine you want through discovery. 2. SCCM can inventory software/services on any machine you want. 3. If SCCM had the capability to auto-inventory,
see the service isn't running and then autoinstall (which you have it doing anyway)....that would be just one of many solutions. So you're little security freakout is way out of line.
I'm not sure if you just enjoy trolling but your attitude isn't appreciated and I would greatly appreciate it if you would just stop. Do everyone a favor and at least install FCS ONCE before you continue commenting on it. I really don't need
someone who is completely ignorant on the topic explaining to me how it works. I've been running it since day 1 and beta tested it prior to that.
EDIT:
Also, I've already through your little link a long time ago. So you're comment about me not reading it is not only out of line, it's down right childish. Nothing in that link discusses SCCM RE-pushing out the client. If I wanted to roll
out the client via GP or script then I wouldn't need discovery in SCCM to being with.
Also, you're second link doesn't even work.
You need to stop.

How would I achieve a "magnify" image effect on an image that is only visible on "hover"

I have come to understand that Adobe Edge Animate can now load external javascript script into projects. So I would like to use this feature to load a "maginfy/zoom" effect onto an image that will be revealed once a button is clicked on. To clarify the process I had in mind would go something like this:
1. There is a map the user can view
2. When a user hovers thier mouse over sections of the map a "callout box" would appear
3. Inside that "callout box" would be further information about that particular section as well as an image
4. When the user hovers over that image, it would magnify similar to this: http://www.elevateweb.co.uk/image-zoom/examples (see the "inner zoom" example)
I've tried loading the elevatezoom.js script into a project, but I don't quite understand how I would apply this effect to a "hidden" image. Most effects like this rely on external css styles, as well as specific "ID" names in order to call the function. Once the project is saved and published, when I try to view the HTML to add those "ID" names my images are not viewable.
Would someone mind helping me with this? I'd be most grateful.

I actually found a solution just as I was checking your replies. Thank you so much for the help though. I ended up getting zoom.js to work within the project.
This is what I used:
//compositionReady
yepnope(
          nope:[
          'js/jquery.zoom-min.js',
          complete: init
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('img')
        .wrap('<span style="display:inline-block"></span>')
        .css('display', 'block')
        .parent()
        .zoom();
function init() {
var image2 = sym.$("image");
image.zoom({url: 'images/image.png'});
After added the external scipts (jquery-1.7.1.min.js, jquery.zoom-min.js) I was able to get the magnify effect to work on a image that is revealed upon hover. I've uploaded an example for anyone who would want to do this as well.

How to sync iTunes libraries on multiple machines without copying music

Background:
I have 4 machines running iTunes 9, all authorized with the same account. All music is on a networked storage device (NSA). Each iTunes points to the NSA for music files. Each user on each machine has their own local iTunes library for individualized playlists, etc. When music is purchased, regardless of machine, it is automatically downloaded onto the NSA. We have deselected the Advanced preference "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". Our goal is to have one live copy of our music rather than multiple copies sprinkled about all 4 machines. We do periodic backups of the NSA.
Question:
How do I get all the iTunes user libraries on all 4 machines to automatically reflect new music purchases? The library of the purchaser is updated just fine, but no one else's is. The Home Sharing Settings option updates the library, but it also copies over the music, defeating the purpose of one copy.
Thanks in advance!

When I first moved to OS X I decided that all of my/our music should be in one library, with one Apple ID for purchasing/playback and iPod syncing, located someplace other than each user's home folder. Using an alias of the destination folder worked as long as we were all on one machine.
Later when we acquired a second machine the setup was similar, except that the library was on an external HD attached to the newer/faster machine and accessed over our home network. The drawback of this method is that the machine with the library on it has to be up and running (of course).
We've finally moved further into the digital world by purchasing a network drive (NAS to be precise - a My Book World II for those who wish to know), upgraded our router and network switch to GB, and have a third iMac on its way (thank you eBay).
All of our music (the library we started years ago), all of our pictures, and other miscellaneous things reside on the NAS, which is also used for TimeMachine backups (on the non public volume). The idea being that any of us can access any of the media or documents as we need or want to.
Apparently (or I've missed something simple) Apple, in their wisdom, doesn't believe that a setup like ours (and apparently others as well) should exist. That each user and/or each machine, should have their/its very own music library that no one else can have FULL access to.
Home Sharing doesn't allow what I/we've been setting up from the first day we added music to our library. Sure it lets everyone with their own library to listen to other's library's that are up and running (i.e. the machine is on, and iTunes is running).
What we want to do is have all of our machines (the two, soon to be three, iMac's and one PC running XP) access the *same library* with full read/write/burn access AT THE SAME TIME! Hence the logic in purchasing a NAS. What we can't do is have iTunes running on more than ONE machine at a time since the other network users/machines receive this message:
The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.
Which is certainly not the case since each user/machine can access, read, write, and burn from the above library at will as long as they are the only person doing so.
Changing the permissions on the library file doesn't stick (probably because its on the NAS), otherwise I would have done that and you wouldn't be reading this.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

How share ADSL Internet connection to all machines without RRAS but using Windows Server DHCP and DNS

Hello!
I have this scenario on my small network with 10 PCs (connecting from outside to inside my network):
1) Modem with ADSL connection
2) Wireless Router with public IP on WAN interface
3) Switch
4) Server 2012 with DC/DHCP/DNS (with 2 NICs) and others servers/desktops machines
I want to share internet to servers and desktops.
I was able to share internet by 2 methods searching on google, but I am not satisfied with them:
First method - Using the Wireless Router and its DHCP Server
I turned on the DHCP inside the Wireless Router. All machines will get an IP and be able to go to Internet, but I don’t have the ability to control the DHCP and DNS in the router
how I would like to have, because the server DHCP and DNS must be turned off on Windows Server.
Second method - Using the Windows Server RRAS NAT, DHCP and DNS server
I have 2 NICs on the server:
NIC1 - CONNECTED TO SWITCH
IP: 192.168.1.1
MSK: 255.255.255.0
GTW:192.168.1.1
DNS:192.168.1.1
NIC2 - CONNECTED TO WIRELESS ROUTER
(the LAN IP of the wireless router is 172.16.0.1)
IP: 172.16.0.2
MSK: 255.255.0.0
GTW: 172.16.0.1
DNS: 172.16.0.1
After installing and setting the RRAS with NAT at the Server, the internet began to work on all machines but at some times the internet stop to load some
random webpages, and if you hit a couple of times the F5 button, the webpage open sometimes, but very, very slow.
I saw other people in foruns saying that RRAS is not very good, and could cause weird things at internet connection, so, now I think the internet is horrible
because of RRAS. After notice that internet is bad I tested it connecting a cable direct to the lan ports of the Wireless Router, and the internet works fast and perfect.
What is the best thing to do in my case to maintain Windows Server DHCP and DNS turned on and Internet be shared without loss of quality?
Thank you!

Hi,
please deploy according to this network topology. please turn off DHCP from router and use internal NAT function to share internet. Detailed configurations:
Router part:
LAN address: 192.168.1.1/24
DHCP part:
scope name : site name
address pool: 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254
scope options:
router:192.168.1.1
DNS server:192.168.1.2
DNS part:
configure a forwarder to point to the public DNS address such as 8.8.8.8
with these settings, you can maintain Windows Server DHCP and DNS turned on and Internet be shared via hardware router.
Regards,
Mike

Urgent: How to restore a database to another machine without backup files

I am a beginner with Oracle and need to solve a tough problem.
I have all the files of a database on a hard disk without previously backed up. I don't have the old machine right now, I only have the hard disk from the old machine, and the new machine. There is an Oracle 9i database on the harddisk, and we need make the database work.
I've already installed the Oracle 9i on the computer(Win XP), put the files to the right folder, modified the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, then I added the database from:
OEM -> Navigator -> Add database to tree -> Add selected databases from your local tnsnames.ora file ...
When I tried to connect to the database, I got the error:
ORA-12500: TNS: listener failed to start a dedicated server process.
The setting in my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora are all correct. tnsping <tnsname> is OK. Besides, the default database installed by the ORACLE software works fine.
Both the old machine and the new machine are Window XP. Both the old database and the new database are ORACLE 9i.
Any idea on how to mannually make it work? Thank you inadvance!
Lihua

Lihua,
Since you didn't create the DB with DBCA, you will need to manually create a SID.
From a command window type
ORADIM -NEW -SID mydb
Replace mydb with the DBNAME specified in your init.ora and listener.ora files.
This will create and start the service. The service should now be available as a windows service in the computer management area...
From a COMMAND window type
set oracle_sid=mydb
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup
If you have all the files in the correct location the DB should start. You should then be able to connect with the database manager. Good Luck.

How can I restore iMessages from Time Machine to a clean install?

Hello,
I just recently did a clean install of Mavericks. I was wondering how to transfer all my saved iMessages from my Time Machine drive to this clean install?
Thanks in advance!

Sign out of iMessage and all other IM accounts, if any. Quit Messages. Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. A folder window will open.
Enter Time Machine and restore the subfolder named "Messages" from a backup that predates the unwanted changes, then log out and log back in.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, delete the subfolder Containers/com.apple.iChat.
