Ifs install on Nt workstation with remote repository

When running the Ifs configuration tool it fails with :-
The following error occurred
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

I suspect that you are missing a class required to access the remote repository
I think the class if VBORB.jar

Adobe Reader X install on a workstation with Adobe Acrobat

I need to deploy Adobe Reader X to all users in our org (10,000+). However, when testing the MSI on a machine with a previous version of Adobe Acrobat installed, Adobe Reader X becomes the default PDF handler. I have made a change to the MST using the Customzation Wizard. I have tried entering DEFAULT_VERB=OPEN in my command line. I have edited the MSI directly using InstallShield. In all cases, after the install Adobe Reader X is the default PDF handler.
This is unacceptable. In previous versions, all that was necessary was to use the Customization Wizard and set the option to make Acrobat the default if it was installed. The only valid option now is "Installer will decide which product will be the default." I cannot deploy this application this way. It makes no sense to have a user that has Acrobat installed to use Reader for opening PDF's!!!
Please assist.
JDAWG

Please see this link for an explanation of the value of co-installs, and the rationale for the PDF switcher registry keys.
In the Acrobat X Family, the DEFAULT_VERB parameter is replaced with IW_DEFAULT_VERB, values being "Read" (uses Reader) or "Open" (uses Acrobat). You can also set LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP="YES" to keep whatever existing handlers are registered (if none, the installer will claim them).

Install cf8 standard edition with remote apache?

I am interested in installing cf8 standard edition on a stand
alone server on a windows (win2003 standard 64 bit) box. An Apache
web server (centOS 5) and a mysql will be another two separate
servers.
So, I am wondering if this infrastructure is OK? I never
tried them like this. I'd appreciate if anybody may share practical
experience. Thanks.

Have you had any luck with this? I'm pursuing a similar
configuration. It should be pretty straight forward since this is a
pretty normal set up, but the doc is limited.
It doesn't help that the connector for Apache seems to be
buried in the Linux install, which doesn't help when CF server was
installed on a Windows box. Am I missing something?

We have CS5 installed on a workstation, we have the products registered with Adobe. We are going to be replacing this workstation and reinstalling CS5 on a new workstation. Do I need to unregister the product to be able to install it on the new workstation. If so, how do I do this?
Thanks

you should deactivate (help>deactivate) that installation on the old workstation. then download and install on your new work station using your serial number. (ie, make sure you can find your serial number - if you need help with this, let us know.)

Why SCCM 20012 Install fails with remote 64 bit SQL Server but proceeds for remote 32 bit SQL Server

I have the following setup:
AD User accounts
- SQLAdmin (used to run SQL Services i.e. Database Engine)
- SCCMADmin (used to install SCCM 2012)
SPN registered for user account SQLAdmin
setspn -S MSSQLSvc/SQL.Domain_Name:1432 Domain_Naem\SQLAdmin
setspn -S MSSQLSvc/SQL:1432 Domain_Name\SQLAdmin

ODBC uses SQL Native Client 10.0 (64 bit)
Both ODBC connections when TESTed pass and suggest connectivity to SQL Servers
Install process doe SCCM2012
Tried to install SCCM 2012 RC2 when logged in to SCCM Server as AD user account
SCCMAdmin, and when utilising the SCCM2012 SQL instance on
32 bit server of SQL install proceeds barring warning about 8GB rec, for SQL Server. Then fails on PKI certificate issue. Installation (chose HTTP for MP). I beleive the PKI failure as install starts is
due to the fact that SCCM 2012 needs its database server to b 64 bit ?
Thus i then tried to install SCCM 2012 RC2 when logged in to SCCM Server as AD user account SCCMAdmin, and
when using the SCCM2012 SQL instance on
64 bit server of SQL install proceeds but fails at checking stage and says:
SQL Server sysadmin rights FAILED SQL3.Domain_Name
Either the user account running Configuration Manager Setup does not have sysadmin SQL Server role permissions on the SQL Server instance selected for site database installation, or the SQL Server instance could not be contacted to verify permissions. Setup
cannot continue.
and
Site System to SQL Server communication WARNING SCCM.Domain_Name
A communication error has been detected between the specified site system and the site database computer. This error can occur when the site database server is offline or if a valid SPN has not been registered in Active Directory Domain Services for the SQL
Server instance hosting the site database. Setup cannot continue.
Why does the install of SCCM 2012 with 32 bit SQL proceed further than the install with 64 bit SQL, with the latter process failing as above error meesages show and yet both servers are set identically (apart from temporary turning off Firewall on the 64
bit server) and during the install the Databse Server specified is accepted ?

Thanks for the reply.
I can connect via ODBC to the the 32 bit SQL Server and the 64 bit SQL Server from the SCCM Server
The SQL Server Unit called SQL3 unit is a 64 bit SQL.
The SQL Server Unit called SQL is only 32 bit, but at least gets past the final checking stage and the error messages about sysadmin rights and Site System to SQL Server communication problem, and then fails with PKI certificate error message.
When trying to install SCCM specifying the 64 bit SQL Server as the Database Server it gives the 2 error messages at the final checking stage of the installation as listed.
So as I said what is confusing is the fact that if the SCCM install uses the remote 32 bit SQL Server it passes the final checking (although fails with PKI certificate message) but the 64 bit SQL Server set up exactly the same apart from the Firewall being
left off for the time being, fails at the final check stage with the 2 listed errors.
If I use a local 64 bit SQL Server the installation is fine.
Still would like to find out what cause the 2 issues for the remote 64 bit SQL Server, when ODBC seems fine, sysadmin rights have been given for the installer account and the SCCM computer account and SPNs have been set for the user account running the SQL
Services.

Ensured the SCCM server account is a local admin on the remote server
Ensured the Fire Wall service is not running on remote server

Telneted on port 135 from site to server, which worked fine.
IIS is installed, basic authentication...
I am at a loss. Any ideas?

Hi Ashley,
You can use Network Monitor and run it on the remote DP at the time ConfigMgr is attempting to install the DP role to capture more information on what may be causing the issue.

Error installing new 4630 e all in one to windows xp workstation with usb

error installing new 4630 e all in one to windows xp workstation with usb
cannot install this hardware error occured during this installation of the device the specified module could not be found
local printer trying to connect with usb. just purchased the printers.
Tried:
loading hp dectect to detect printer, can not detect it
loaded diagnostic says nothing is wrong
loaded drivers form hp website
if i go into device manager the comptuers does see the printer there, with a ! next to it saying drivers are not loaded, but cant get the drivers to load.
as the instructions say in the book received with the printer. to troubleshoot do this... which I did, uninstalled rebooted, removed cd and unplug usb, loaded software then pluged in usb and still get same error, cannot install this hardware error occured during this installation of the device the specified module could not be found..
someone help please

I also just bought a 4630 and have the same problem (Windows XP) BUT after finally figuring out how to enter numbers on the key pad I was able to get the device to recognize and accept my wireless connection HOWEVER when attempting to print the software claims it could not communicate with the printer BUT the printer worked just fine and I was able to get at least 8 pages of high quality text.
So, it looks as though HP is SNAFU, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
I'll keep playing with the software to see if I can clean up this mess.

Install GC Agent on host with GC repository database.

Hello,
I have a couple questions about setting up a Grid Control environment. We are doing a proof of concept for grid control. We currently have two linux servers, one for the repository database (11gR2), and one for the Grid Control/OMS(10gR5).
My question is can we install the GC Agent on the repository database server?
I would like to monitor the repository database server and the repository database itself, but is that possible?
I tried installing the agent on the repository db server and I thought it was a success, but when I run emctl agent status I get the following:
EM Configuration issue. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/phxoemdb.revenue.int_GRIDDB not found.
Should I use emca and configure the database? I'm worried it will mess with the Grid Control Repository tables.

Well, now that the post is active again, let me respond:
My question is can we install the GC Agent on the repository database server?There is already (or should be) a "Central Agent" on the OMS server. If the EM repository database is on a different server from the OMS, then you do need to install a regular agent.
I would like to monitor the repository database server and the repository database itself, but is that possible?This is definitely possible as long as there is an agent on the server, either the central agent or regular agent like on any other server.
I tried installing the agent on the repository db server and I thought it was a success, but when I run emctl agent status I get the following:If OMS is executing on the same server as the repository database, then there is already a central agent. Each component has it's own Oracle Home, maybe you are trying to execute the commands from a different home. You need to set the correct environment for each component when executing command related to that component.

Problems install SCCM 2012 with remote sql 2008 r2 sp2

I am having issues installing sccm 2012 on a remote sql 2008 r2 sp2 server on a seperate instance.
I get the error "The network path was not found"
if i point it at the primary instance it will let me continue but i cannot install sccm into that instance.
I have turned off dynamic ports and set a static port but I do not see where i can enter that in the installer.
I cannot seem to verify is the ssb port is working correctly or not.
my account is local admin on both servers and a sql sysadm.
There is no firewall between servers.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Don

SPN is setup to AUTO register and is working. remote sql is not a cluster. Windows firewall on both servers is disabled. Sql browser is enabled and started. we have a group for system center that contains site servers and this group
is in the local admin of both servers and sysadm inside of sql server.
Why we are consolidating all or our lesser sql servers into a larger one.

Confusing ACS 5.4 Alarm - no remote repository configured

The following message from ACS 5.4.0.46 is confusing me:
"Configure Remote Repository under Purge Configuration which is used to take a backup of data before purge."
cause it is configured:
and it also seems to work cause I got also messages that the purge is beginning and that it was successful.
What is the problem here?

I had the same problem, ACS 5.4 with latest patch 6 installed. I had to figure this out by myself and the solution was pretty simple.
Make sure you configure incremental backup before 4 AM as database purge is run every night at 4 AM. I configured it at 3 AM. Well, after you configure this via GUI you need to login CLI and stop/start Job Manager process:
# acs stop view-jobmanager
# acs start view-jobmanager
After that I got rid of those error messages and backups and database purges are working smoothly.
Cheers,
Kari

Troubleshooting error with Remote Desktop 3.1

Have OSX Server 10.4.10 on a powerPC with Remote Desktop 2.2, Security scans advise to update to Remote Desktop Client 3.1. Everytime I do this I get this error "The Remote Desktop Administrator software failed to start du to an unexpected error. The Remote Desktop software may not be installed correctly or the computer may require a restart."
I have two machines on this network that are giving this error, one this server and the other a laptop. Version 2.2 was running and working just fine prior to the update, now its broke. Is there a log file somewhere to try to figure this error out? Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have already tried to reset permissions, and reboot, but nothing works.

Just to confirm my understanding, you are running the ARD 2.2 Administrator on the server, and something is advising you to upgrade that system to the ARD 3.1 client? If that's the situation, then do not upgrade. The 3.x client will not work with the ARD 2.2 administrator. If you did indeed upgrade, you'll need remove ARD using the instructions here and then reinstall ARD 2.2 from your installation disks.
Similarly, if you've upgraded any client workstation to the 3.x client, you'll need to remove it and reinstall the 2.2 client using this installer. It says it's an "updater", but it will work anyway.
Hope this helps.

VM with remote access VPN without split tunneling

Hello experts,
I have customers who require to use VM in their laptop. These users also require to VPN to Corporate network to do their job. However when they do remote VPN to corporate Network (ASA VPN concentrator) from their VM host machine, they loose their access to their VM guest machines. This problem was not happening when they used cisco VPN client which has gone end of life and support as of end of July 31, 2012. In Cisco VPN client (IKEV1) if we set the protocol to udp they had no problem to keep their connectivity to VM machines while connected to corporate with remote access VPN. However this feature does not work in new Cisco VPN client which is called AnyConnect. ( NOTE: I am using IPSEC IKEV2. NO SSL at this time).
My Question to Experts:
1. Was the ability to maintain connection to VM guest machines, while connected to VPN without enabling split tunneling a security flaw in the old cisco VPN client?
2. Is there a way to maintain connectivy to VM machines installed in a computer and still connect to remote access VPN concentrator through host machine? (My question is about AnyConnect client only using IPSEC IKEV2 and I do not want to enable split tunneling)
Thanks for your help,
Razi

How to create a Flex3 project with remote ColdFusion server?

I have a question related to Flex 3 and ColdFusion that it might be simple to answer but I have been struggling with it for a while.
How to create a Flex application using Flex Builder 3 that uses ColdFusion, but the ColdFusion server is not installed locally but in a remote server?
I need to create a Flex application to use with ColdFusion and although this is a simple procedure when we are creating the project in a computer where you have ColdFusion installed locally (as all books shows examples of it), but what if the ColdFusion server is installed in another machine in the network?
My current situation is the following:
-          I have Flex Builder 3 install in my PC at work and its workspace is in a folder in the network outside of my PC.
-          We have a server (ISWEB1) partition in two drives; C, where the ColdFusion 8 is installed and D where all the files the developers work with reside. The ColdFusion installation runs in a server where IIS is used as the web server.
-          I have the drive D on the server ISWEB1 mapped to one of my letter drives and can access it easily
-          The drive C on the Server can only be accessed remotely (or through the web to access the ColdFusion admin page) and is not exposed to the network as drive D is.
My problem is, I need to create a Flex 3 application that uses ColdFusion using remote object access service (CF Flash Remoting) but I wanted to point to the installation version on the server ISWEB1 and not to the one installed locally. The Configure ColdFusion Server screen in the Flex Builder asked me for the location of ColdFusion root folder, Web root, and root URL. There is no way I can point to the server (ISWEB1)where ColdFusion is installed as those fields seem to required a address that points to a local install or a mapping on that local server.
The work around that could be used is to use the ColdFusion developers edition I have installed locally and use during the creation of the project in Flex Builder, but then I would have to have all the same data sources, mappings, and CFCs in my the local server in order to test, which seems double work. To aggravate that when you try to test the application Flex writes the files to the local server and unless you have everything available locally it would not work properly. I am trying to avoid duplicating the work. Ideally I would like to test the Flex application on the server where the CF is installed and where the Flex Builder workspace is.

Sort of. I found this article below that helped me to connect to the remote CF server using MXML. It seems that you have to create a regular project in Flex with Aplication Server Type set to None and connect to CF using the endpoint attribute of the RemoteObject MXML tag or via AS.
http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/200
However I found out after getting error using the AS3 code to use the endpoint property that
mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject does not support the "endpoint" property
whereas mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject does. See link below
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html//www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg101439.html
So I had to change my AS3 code by adding a new channel to my RemoteObject using a code similar to the one on the link below (Note that this code uses PHP, when I instantiate myRemoteObject, I do so informing that the destination is "ColdFusion" [new RemoteObject("ColdFusion")], so no need to set destination as in the code on the link below
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/120115
I hope that helps you.
