Installing different service packs into one server

Hi,
I was just wondering is there any way in which i can incorporate different service packs into one server?Any clue with regards to this is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
The basic concept of applying SPs in Java is to add the new functionality and remove the gaps which were in previous releases. And always when we are using the Java instance the current SP is recognised. Before the deployment of a software component, the SDM server performs additional version checks. Only new software components that have a higher counter than the counter of the old software components can be deployed.
When we apply the SP in Java, following things are checked:
The vendors and the names of the SCAs are the same as the ones of the software components that are installed on the system.
The releases of the SCAs are the same as the ones of the software components that are installed on the system. JSPM allows updates only within one release.
The support package levels of the SCAs are higher than or equal to the ones of the software components that are installed on the system.
If the support package levels of the SCAs are equal to the ones of the software components that are installed on the system, the patch levels of the SCAs are higher.
Checks for modified software components
If the provider of an SCA is different from the original provider, SAP AG, of the software component that is installed on the system, this SCA has been modified using the NWDI.
Checks on foreign software components
The JSPM checks if, after the deployment of a software component, the dependencies on other software components are fulfilled.

Different service packs in admin server and managed server

Hi,
Has anybody successfully used a WebLogic 6.1 SP1 managed server that
connects to a WebLogic 6.1 SP 2 admin server?
BEA's docs claim:
"The Administration Server must be running the same version of
WebLogic Server as the Managed Servers in its domain. The
Administration Server must also have the same or later service pack
installed as the Managed Servers in its domain. For example, the
Administration Server could be running version 6.1, Service Pack 2
while the Managed Servers are running version 6.1, Service Pack 1."
This is precisely what we want to do, but it's not working. In this
case, we need to run the admin server and managed server on the same
machine, but we need the managed server to run SP 1 to work around a
bug in SP 2. So to our initial installation of WebLogic 6.1 SP 2,
where I run the admin server, I added a second installation, this time
WebLogic 6.1 SP 1, with a different BEA_HOME. When I start the
managed server from this second installation, I can see from the logs
that it is starting up correctly as 6.1 SP 1. But then it fails with
a ClassCastException when connecting to the admin server (I have
included the stack trace below). This seems typical of version
compatibility problems I've had when I've tried connecting to a server
with a client of a different version.
But in this case, you are supposed to be able to have the managed
server with a lower service pack. Does this work for anybody? Has
anybody encountered the problem I'm having? Note that the servers are
not clustered, if that makes any difference, and we have a custom
security realm in addition to the default file realm (though "system"
of course is in the default file realm).
Thanks in advance for any help,

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.
I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
application and the selection is stored in a config file in
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.
In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
users.
Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A.
SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
they actually get
C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
and user "B" gets
C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?

I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
(a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
This was clarified by the following series of comments:
I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 –  James
Newton Mar
17 at 16:21
@JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. –  Nathan
C Mar
17 at 16:28
You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... –  James
NewtonMar
17 at 16:35
@JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. –  Nathan
C Mar
17 at 16:51
Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

Is it possible to have different service pack between Exchange servers.

Is it possible to have CAS Exchange 2007 running service Pack 1 and Mailbox server 2007 running SP2? In my env I need to have SP1 running on CAS server for some applications but also need to install SP2 for migration. Application cannot be upgraded so
I am thinking to keep one CAS running SP1 and upgrade other Exchange 2007 servers to SP2. Please suggest.

Hi,
It is recommended to have the same service pack level on all Exchange 2007 servers, different service pack level may have potential effects.
Here is a related thread for your reference.

SLD on different service pack

Hi,
Our XI system is being upgraded to SP16 in a short while. Now, we have a DEV system, a Quality Assurance system, and a Production system. Our SLD is installed on the DEV system and functions as a central SLD, so QA and PRD use the same SLD.
My question is: Is it possible to have the SLD on a different service pack than Production? We want to implement SP16 on DEV first (which includes the SLD) and then QA and finally Prod, but there is going to be a gap of one to two weeks. Will the production system (which is on SP12) still function correctly, or do we have to upgrade the service pack on all systems at once?
Thanks in advance!
Yordy

Hi Yordy,
Theoretically, the SLD can have a different SP (as long as it is equal or highr, it is okay). What needs to be the same is the CIM model version.
Cheers

Sync Problems After Installing Vista Service Pack 1

I just installed Vista service pack 1. Hotsync ceased to work. So, after checking Palm online help, I downloaded and installed Desktop 6.2 and Hotsync 7. The instructions said not to uninstall my previous version of Desktop 4.2 and Hotsync 6.01. After completing the installation, I find that my data had not been moved to the new location and that some Hotsync items had changed such as Quick Intall to Install. And, I still can't Hotsync. So, here's a series of questions:
How can I get my data over to Desktop 6.2?
Do I want to move the data over or should I reinstall Desktop 4.2? (I use an XP machine to print my schedule and usually simply copy the user folder from the Vista system to the XP system. There's no Vista print driver available for my hp printer.)
Is Palm trying to become Microsoft by changing where they store information to the confusion of a power user?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

The version 6.2 of Palm desktop does not support your Vx.
Click here for the support page for 6.2; http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html
The only handhelds supported are Palm TX, Z22; Tungsten E2.
You will need to install the version that is on the CD that came with the Vx. You will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop on the Vista PC in order to re-install the older version of Palm desktop.
First thing to consider is, where is the current data. On the device or in the PC?
If you have the data in Palm desktop 6.2, do an export of the data for backup. After the re-install of the older palm desktop, import the data for each category. Since you are still using the XP PC and has data on that system, you can export the data from that PC.
In Vista, the userfolder is in documents-palm os desktop. One caveat here, the data format in the 6.2 user folder is not compatible with the data format in earlier versions of Palm desktop so you cannot copy and paste the entire user folder into the older version of Palm desktop.
Here is a procedure for backing up your data.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
To do the "clean" uninstall on the Vista PC, here are the instructions.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Disregard the first step above because your data is on the XP PC and we are just going to import the data.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

How do install a service pack on log shipping database

How do i install a service pack on log shipped database whethe on primary or secondary
could any one please provide the detailed step by step procedure .
Help apprecited

Hello Shanky,
I recommend the secondary first, based on the following criteria:
“Always upgrade the secondary server instance first. If the primary server were upgraded before a secondary server, log shipping would
fail because a backup created on a newer version of SQL Server cannot be restored on an older version of SQL Server”.
Source:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645954.aspx
Less downtime could be another benefit of applying SP on the secondary first. You can apply to the secondary first, then failover, then
apply to new secondary server (once the primary server).
But I know another way to do it is applying the service pack on the secondary and the primary without failing over.
The following resources recommend the secondary first too:

Installed windows service pack and now can't see igoogle content

I recently installed a service pack for Office 32bit on my Sony Vaio. Now I cannot see any of my page content on Igoogle, or certain features on Ebay. I checked my popup filter, and even turned it off, and that didn't help.

The updater's now built into iTunes, which came with a new version of the iPod's required background service, rendering all previous updaters void.
To get to the updater, go to the iPod in the sources panel (left-hand side), and you should see the Update and Restore buttons.

How do I install multiple KMS keys on one server?

I currently am working at Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, MO and my question is: How do I install multiple KMS keys onto one server? This is very urgent and I have the KMS activating Windows 7 but, I also need all my Office keys, Windows
8, and Windows 8.1 to be activated via KMS. the current KMS is a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Please help me out and thank you for your time! :)

you need to apply the following update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2885698)to your KMS server so you can license up to Windows 8.1. From there your key for 8.1/2012R2 will license everything
downwards and then you can also install your Office KMS key without issue. If its Office 2013 then you need to download the files here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35584)

Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod

Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod.
Windows does but Itunes doesn't.
The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I have gone through the 5 Rs and the troubleshooters and the problem persists.
Any ideas?

Since installing XP Service Pack 3, iTunes dose not recognise my iPod. Windows does but Itunes doesn't. The Windows dialogue box syas "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Have a look in your Device manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage" and click "Device Manager".)
Is Device Manager (in the right hand pane of the Window) completely blank?
If so, see the following Microsoft document for troubleshooting advice:
Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
(When you get your Device Manager displaying correctly again, iTunes should stop giving you the "iPod Service Module" crash.)

New install - Do I install all Service Packs & Fix Packs

Hi.
I just installed Engage 2008 to replace my 4.5 version. I see there is 1 service pack and 3 fix pack versions available. Should I be installing all 4 of these or just the service pack and the most recent fix pack? Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi Janice,
First, check your help / about in Xcelsius 2008. What is the build number? Depending on what it ends with will help determine what route to take.
-If it ends in 121, then run the Service Pack 1 installer. The installer will replace your existing install with Service Pack 1, which will then yield the build number ending in 247. From here you can install Fix Pack 1.
-If it ends in 247, then you can just go ahead and install Fix Pack1.
In both cases, after Fix Pack 1 is installed, the end result should yield build version 12,1,1,344.
Hope that helps,
-david
