IPS-ME - Remote Monitoring - Running server on workstation for monitoring..

Hi,
Is there any way to use IPS-ME on a remote windows workstation for monitoring.
I have 5 sensors that I want to configure with IPS-ME on a windows 2k3 server. The server will be in the Data Center and it will be use to config and monitor the sensor alerts.
I am wondering how the users will be monitoring events since IPS-ME is not running on their workstation...
Is windows Remote Desktop to my IPS-ME server the only option?
Thanks,
JP

Remote Desktop, VNC etc. seems to be the only option. Unless you want to run multiple instances of IME, but this will be very resource intensive for your Sensors, Network, End-Systems and might severely degrade performance.
The best option is to get a Cisco MARS box and correlate all meaningful alerts in a single web browser, where all Security Admins can login and take relevant actions.
Regards
Farrukh

Lost ability to connect with Server from workstation

NW 6.5 sp5 on a Dell 2900. I am adding an additonal harddrive to our server
for use as an archive disk in a separate volume. After I loaded it into the
server and created a new VD in the raid bios I booted the computer and found
I couldn't connect from my workstation to connect to IManager. When I
looked on the logger screen I got messages about a possible bad certificate
with suggestions to run sys:/system/tckeygen.ncf or
ndlap or
sys:/tomcat/4/bin/startup-config sys:/adminsrv/conf/admin_tomcat.xml
Nothing helped.
I rebooted the server again and did not get the messages above I looked
through the logger screen and found several messages, I have no idea whether
they are new or common.

Remote panel / Web server. II part ?

Hi all
There has been some activity about remote panels / web server in this forum.
Basically, NI documentation states LV run time, at least, must be intalled in client PC to use that feature.
In this link to post
a post from NI engenier Jeremy L. says that just to monitor a remote panel vi, NI soft is not necessary in the client PC. That option looks very interesting.
So, my questions are:
1- Somebody got to monitor a remote vi if LabView or run time is not installed in client PC.?
2- Can NI peo
ple clarify this option?
3- What is, if anything, the minimun NI soft required in client PC to monitor a remote vi front panel?
Thanks in advance

Well as I said for monitoring, NO NI software is necessary. For Remote
Control you basically need the lvrt.dll runtime and some supporting
files such as lvapp.rsc.
As the runtime gets more and more complex it is not a good idea to try
to install individual files. Eventhough the lvrt.dll contains up to now
all the code necessary to execute simple LabVIEW programs there is more
necessary to be able to for instance display the LabVIEW 6.x 3D controls
(all of the
models directory is then necessary) or in the case of the
web plugin I would assume the lvpng.dll and lvjpeg.dll will be also
necessary.
Also some registry settings have to be set so that the plugin or LabVIEW
application can find the appropriate runtime engine, unless you want to
copy all the necessary files into the same directory as your application.
In view of this I would not even consider getting a LabVIEW runtime
system onto a computer other than by adding it through the application
builder to my executable, or running the official NI runtime installer.

Discovering IIS with GC 11g for remote monitoring .

Hi ,
I'm trying to take benefit form GC to monitor IIS on some windows server 2003,2008 . The plugin deployed fine with any issue and add local instance for IIS .
I follow documentation http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11857_01/install.111/e14543/piiis.htm#autoId7
for remote monitoring without installtion agent on remote server that have IIS installed .
The below information has been entered and implemented .

Username — XX\XX
Password — *******
Agent Location — remote
and apply this
========================= Link Above ===================================
Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Administrative Tools, then Services.
Select the Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent service from the listed computer where the Agent is running.
Right-click the service, then select Properties.
Click the Log On tab. By default, this service is started with the Local System account.
Change the default account by selecting the This account radio button, and provide an account and password that exist on both computer A and computer B.
Note that the account should be a member of the Administrators group, and the account should have administrative privileges on computer B.
Click OK, then restart the Agent service.
Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation Service is up and running on both computers.

Thank in advance .

The problem solved . RPC port 135 was closed .wbemtest help me to diagnose problem .
Just type WMI on my oracle support.

RWW and dual remote monitors

Can Remote Web Workplace be configured to permit dual remote monitors using Win7 Ultimate at both ends? This is to a workstation, not the server.
Both the workstation and the remote computer have Win7 Ultimate and dual monitors.
SBS2008 SP2
I can't find a way to activate two remote monitors in RWW. Is it possible? If so, what are the specific steps to "customize" RWW?
Thanks.

With SBS 2011 yes, not with 2008 R2 as it doesn't have the underlying TS
guts to allow dual mons.

Remote OS X Server administration

Good day,
I did today the OS Upgrade form OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite successfully.
After that I have to upgrade my OS X Server from Mavericks Server to 4.0. All Services (Calendar, Contact, Web and Wicki are up and running. I did also update OS X Server on my OS X Yosemite workstation to remote admin the server.
So but after the upgrade I cannot connect to the server remotely. "Allow remote administration using Server" is checked. I cannot see any hint in the System Log.
Is there anything I have to double check?
I did install a second server in VM (Fusion) to compare both server...Cannot find any different...Just that I can connect to my VM server remotely just fine. And the VM OS X Server was not an upgrade form Maverichs Server.
Where do I have to start debugging?
Thanks crazyx

Workaround posted by kirdes on this other thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/26902374?ac_cid=tw123456) - the thing I was missing was rebooting the server (which I usually don't do as part of troubleshooting).
sudo security set-identity-preference -n -s com.apple.servermgrd /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
sudo security delete-certificate -c com.apple.servermgrd /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
+ reboot gets a non-expired self-signed certificate back and I can connect.

Mac Pro as a Web Server and Workstation

I'm thinking about getting a better computer, and plan on launching an intensive web app as well as some other web sites. The original plan was to get an xserve or two, and as the need arises add xsan to the setup.
I see that the mac pro is fairly powerful and would make a great server, I could start with a mac pro, then add an xserve and xsan to the setup down the line. What I'd like to know is how it would hold up as a server, while I was using it for work at the same time.. could it handle both and how would it perform?
*To give an idea of the type of setup:*
8core 3.2Ghz
ram as needed min 4gb up to 32gb
separate hard disks for work stuff and served files.
two monitors
*While running:*
photoshop
illustrator
dreamweaver
fireworks
flash
word
flex
3 parallels virtual machines(2 windows 1 linux)
firefox with 200+tabs
4/5 other browsers running.
ftp/mail/calendar and all those other peripheral apps
So to sum up, would using all those apps affect serving a couple websites much, and is there a demo/video/specs of a mac pro(preferably as tricked out as possible) functioning as a server and/or running high end apps doing things like compiling and applying advanced photoshop filters to large files so I can get a sense of performance and speed. It's just hard to visualize what the system could actually handle and numbers don't mean much to me.

It is bad form to use a server as a workstation. You will be running server software, I assume, which is not really client software for which applications are written. You will also be hogging resources one way or the other. You may want to consider a Mini to serve up your website until you can afford an xServe. As far as Xsan, that is really high horse power, and is a good fit for video editing (you need two sxServes and a fiber switch to do an Xsan). You can probably get by with just a RAID attached to the server if you are just hosting web sites, at least in the beginning.

Invalid server IP address for Remote Panels under LV 8.0.1

The other messages for troubleshooting the "invalid server IP address" were very helpful with getting my EXE to operate as a remote panel. But there is still one issue that I cannot resolve that seems to be caused by the 8.0.1 upgrade.
The remote panel work perfectly using IE6 on a computer that has the LV 8.0.1 FDS or PDS installed. When I use a computer that has LV 7.1 or no LV at all, the invalid server IP address appears inside the border of where the VI should appear on the HTML page. The connection to the remote computer is correct, the HTML file is delivered by the web server in LV, but the panel part of the page returns the error.
Does the part of the HTML that loads the Run Time Engine need to be updated for 8.0.1? Will the LV 8.0 RTE work for a remote panel on an EXE compiled for LV 8.0.1?
The code is:
var obj = '<OBJECT ID="LabVIEWControl" CLASSID="CLSID:A40B0AD4-B50E-4E58-8A1D-8544233807AD" WIDTH=1216 HEIGHT=915 CODEBASE="ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/8.0';
if (lng.indexOf("fr") != -1) { obj = obj + '/French'; }
else if (lng.indexOf("de") != -1) { obj = obj + '/German'; }
else if (lng.indexOf("ja") != -1) { obj = obj + '/Japanese'; }
obj = obj + '/LVRunTimeEng.exe">';

How can I execute an .app remotely in a server via internet?

Hi,
Using PHP, or something like it, how can I execute a MAC OSX app but have it run remotely in the server?
I know this may sound like a simple question but I have almost no experience with Web apps.
Thanks,
Juan Dent

All you need is a trigger that starts the execution. A simple HTML link to the file will do.

Small Business w/Mac Mini Running Server OSX, Connect From Home Solution - VPN?

I am trying to setup my Mac Mini running OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to be accessed from users at home (for file sharing and Contact Services). Is a VPN the best solution? (Small business setup - privacy/security a concern).
Hi everyone, and Thanks for the help in advance!
I am currently setting up a network for my company (small business) and have a few questions. We have a Mac Mini (mid-2012) running Server OS X Mountain Lion, and 5 MBP's (our work computers- all running latest version of Mountain Lion).
To summarize:
My goal = Setup a secure way of connecting the MBP's to the server when our personnel are at home (for file sharing).
I am switching all of the users from local to network (we didn't need the network functionality when we first setup the server, and we are now expanding our use of it). This is going to occur this weekend, as downtime for the server is needed to make the changes.
After I establish the Open Directory and all of that, I will be setting up Contact Services (to share a master list of contacts with the members of our department) and we already have some Calendar sharing setup.
The purpose of this is to enable our employees the option of working necessary overtime from home so they can be with their families instead of in the office all the time. It is a noble cause and I want to set this up the best that I can for them.
This being said... I'm no Mac Genius, and this stuff can get very confusing very fast. I have read a little about VPN's, and am wondering if this is the solution to my problem. We need to establish a SECURE way of connecting to the server from remote locations, enabling us to pull needed files from the server.
If anybody can offer some advice on this I would really appreciate it. I love Apple products and I have faith that this is as easy as I've been told it is.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

No, it wasn't difficult at all to setup in OS X Server. I use a free internet domain name from DynDNS.com. I don't know if they still offer free ones anymore. You can not use VPN and 'Back to My Mac' at the same time as they use some or all of the same ports.
I'm at work and not on my Mac at the moment so this is from memory.
Within OS X Server, I enabled the VPN Service (default L2TP) and used my free domain name in the VPN Host Name and a Secret passphrase. This put an entry in my Airport Extreme router for VPN (port mapping).
Within the client Mac, I added a VPN network connnection (System Preferences /Network). I pointed to my free domain name in the Server Address, used my Server account name in the account name. I think there's an Authentication button that I clicked. I entered my Server account password, the Secret passphrase in the Secret field, checked a box to show VPN icon in Menu Bar and exited out of that. Then clicked the Advanced button and checked the box to send all traffic over VPN connection.
I had VPN authentication issues at first when trying to connect to test out the connection. I just kept trying as I knew I had all the settings correct and it would finally connect after about 3-4 tries. After that, I sometimes have to connect more than once to actually connect to my Server via VPN. But it does work nice. I brought my MBP into work once to test it out and was able to connect to my home Server via VPN and use Screen Sharing and had access to all my shared folders.

Remote Monitoring Latest Best Practice Architecture

Hi guys,
I've developed very few remote monitoring systems in the past. One of them was using a PXI RT and the rest are cRIO. The approach and architecture were based from some of the things I've read from ni.com and this forum. In the process, there were much difficulties and some extensive troubleshooting exercises that I need to do. The results, while the system work and meet the user's requirements, it didn't meet my own expectation. I was hoping that the system can be expanded (adding more cRIO or PXI) with much ease and little or no re-programming effort. Anyway, 2-3 years have passed and opportunities with similar requirements has emerged. So, I would like to get started to think about the architecture at an early stage (ie. now).
In my past systems, I've used Shared Variables (SV) a lot - and it gave much much headache too. Some of the troubles I had were:
1. I can't decide whether to lump all SV in one library and host them in one system, or to separate them into various libraries and systems... neither do I know what's the best approach, as I've read too many 'suggestions' and 'advices',
2. Some of the SV are from custom control and the control is type-def. When running the VI in RT with these SV in development platform, everything works smoothly but when I compiled and deploy, the program didn't run. After extensive troubleshooting, I found out that this had something to do with these SV - because when I removed the type-def from the custom controls and recreate my SV, everything worked fine. I suspect this may have something to do with how I deploy but after I tried several approach, the problem still persist.
3. The best and most common of all is unstable connectivity - it work today but that doesn't guarantee it will work tomorrow. When the host PC changes, the same problems resurfaced again. I read somewhere that I need to read or interface with the .alias file but this work some times and other times, the same problem persist.
Attached is the most common architecture that I've used. I would like to move away from SV as much as possible. If the application is 1:1, there's no problem as I can easily use TCP/IP & Network Stream. However, my doubts and headache comes when the RT:Host communication is either 1:N, N:N or N:1. I've read in ni.com and found out that there are various new approach to this, such as AMC (derivated from UDP), Web Services (or was it HTTP).
I really appreciate it if you guys share your thoughts and advices here, please?

Nick,
I was not talking about the mgmt0 interface. The vlan that you are testing will have a link blocked between the two 3750 port-channel if the root is on the nexus vPC pair.
Logically your topology is like this:
| |
| Nexus Pair |
3750-1-----------------------3750-2
Since you have this triangle setup one of the links will be in blocking state for any vlan configured on these devices.
When you are talking about vPC and L3 are you talking about L3 routing protocols or just intervaln routing.
Intervlan routing is fine. Running L3 routing protocols over the peer-link and forming an adjaceny with an router upstream using L2 links is not recommended. Teh following link should give you an idea about what I am talking here:
http://bradhedlund.com/2010/12/16/routing-over-nexus-7000-vpc-peer-link-yes-and-no/
HSRP is fine.
As mentioned tracking feature purpose is to avoid block hole of traffic. It completely depends on your network setup. Don't think you would be needing to track all the interfaces.

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
setspn -S MSSQLSvc/SQL.Domain_Name:1433 Domain_Naem\SQLAdmin
setspn -S MSSQLSvc/SQL:1433 Domain_Name\SQLAdmin
and checked with setspn -L TESTING\SQLAdmin
1 SERVER called SQL
32bit Server with SQL Server 2008 + SP3 + Cumulative Update 6
2 SQL instances - Default (MSSQLSERVER) and
SCCM2012
MSSQLSERVER instance uses TCP port 1433
SCCM2012 Instance users TCP port 1432 (no dynamic ports)
User accounts that have been given public and sysadmin SQL server roles
on both instances are: SQLAdmin, SCCMAdmin, Domain Administrator, Local Administrator and computer account SCCM
Client Protocols TCP enabled (and Named Pipes) (checked via SQL Server Configuration Manager)
Local Administrators Group on this server has members - SQLAdmin, SCCMAdmin, Domain Administrator, Local Administrator and computer account SCCM
Firewall turned on with access allowed on Ports 1432, 1433, 4022,445, and WMI - WMI-in, DCOM-in and ASync-iN builtin rules allowed\enabled.
1 SERVER called SQL3
64bit Server with SQL Server 2008 + SP3 + Cumulative Update 6
2 SQL instances - Default (MSSQLSERVER) and
SCCM2012
MSSQLSERVER instance uses TCP port 1433
SCCM2012 Instance users TCP port 1432 (no dymanic ports)
User accounts that have been given public and sysafmin SQL server roles on both instances are:
SQLAdmin, SCCMAdmin, Domain Administrator, Local Administrator and computer account SCCM
Client Protocols TCP enabled (and Named Pipes) (checked via SQL Server Configuration Manager)
Local Administrators Group on this server has members - SQLAdmin, SCCMAdmin, Domain Administrator, Local Administrator and computer account SCCM
Firewall turned off
1 SERVER called SCCM
64bit Server that is to be the Primary Site Server\MP for SCCM 2012
ODBC link to SQL\SCCM2012,1432
ODBC link to SQL3\SCCM2012,1432
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.

SCCM 2012 SP1 with remote WSUS on Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012

I am rebuilding my SCCM 2012 lab on Server 2012 R2 x64 OS now.
I have 1 primary site, remote SQL server 2012, and remote WSUS server.
Is the WSUS console still required on my primary site running server 2012? If so are the below the correct steps to get this working?
Install Console on primary server:
Go to Server Manager à Add Roles and features, Navigate to the features section.
Remote Server Manager tools
>Role Administration Tools
--Select Windows Server Update Services Tools Only
Are there any post hotfixes to install?
Intalling WSUS full version on remote server:
Go to Server Manager à Add Roles and features, Server Roles section.
Windows Server Update Services
Do I need to select this as well on the remote wsus server? >Role Administration Tools -Select Windows Server Update Services Tools Only
Since my SQL server is on a remote server do I select the below only?
Are there any post hotfixes to install?

Hi,
One Part of the question is already answered. The second part is: If you want to use a remote SQL Server you need to select exactly what you selected in your screenshot.
Regards,
Thomas

Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server. In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers. The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases. There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system? Are there any details that are particularly important to get right? Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course. I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them. That would complicate such an approach. I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
i do not recall having any problems with it.
