Is it better to do a Robocopy first and then DFSR so the files are already there?

I have a server 2008R2 that ran DSFR and crashed and I had to do a name change (so it changed the SID). The DFSR stopped working also. I want to startup DFSR again. My plan is to remove all members and delete all remote files. Then start DFSR. Would
it be better to Robocopy all files first and then turn on DFSR or just let DFSR do all the work?

If you can pre-seed with Robocopy then indeed it would be a better idea then to send all the data with DFS. See:
Use Robocopy to Pre-Seed Files for DFS Replication

  • Emaill address in the ship to first and then look for the sold to

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where-
    The output should use Emaill address in the ship to first and look for the sold to if the record is not available in the ship to.
    Can somebody help?
    Regards,
    Pankaj Jain

    If you are taling about the email address used in the output determination process, you can do the following.
    Set up the access sequence for the output with two steps:
    1.  For the ship-to
    2. For the sold-to
    (you can use the same table - just set up the fields assignment differently on the two steps>
    On the 1st step, assign a requirement routine that checks for the email address on the partner. If it isn't there (i.e. on the ship-to), the access will be skipped - and the system will determine the output for the  sold-to,
    You will need an ABAPer to create a requirement routine (VOFM).

  • HT1338 I have a Mac pro i believe 2008 and my software is 10.5 i think.. should i upgarde tp 10.6 first and then to OS X Lion?

    I have a Mac Pro, i believe from 2008 and my software is 10.5 i think.. should i upgarde to 10.6 first and then to OS X Lion?

    You'll need to call the online Apple store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE to buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Install OS X 10.6, do Software Updates and you'll be at OS X 10.6.8.
    Then call the online Apple store again (or when you call them to order 10.6) and purchase a code to download OS X Lion (you can't see it in the App store anymore). In a couple of days, you'll get an email with the code that you can then use to download it from the App store. You need to be at OS X 10.6.6 or better to access the App store. 
    You'll need 2GB memory minimum for Lion and 4GB is recommended.

  • Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • How do I import an existing cell number to SAMSUNG GUSTO 3 - Verizon Prepaid?  What number do I call?  Do I activate first and then request the import via the new Verizon (not wanted cell number)?

    The enclosed ACTIVATION & USE MANUAL is very limited.  It only tells you how to activate the phone after inputting a zip code.  On the web there are many contact numbers for customer service but ALL REQUIRE a Verizon cell number. 

    A friend I know had this issue and was told to activate the phone first and then call *611. You also can dial from any other phone this number 1 888 294 6804 and choose 1.  They both can handle the tranfer without any problem.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I want to reload original software in IMAC G4 - i have original disks, can i install OSX first and then load "software restore 1 to 6" and not load OS9

    I just purchased a used IMAC G4, cpu G4(1.1), powermac 4,2, 800MHz 15 inch FP and 55 Gig hard drive.  I now have 750 k memory and it is working fine.  i want to reload the original software.  i have all original disks -CDs. These include OSX Install; OS9 Install; Software Restore 1 to 6 CDs; Imac applications. 
    Question, please, is which CD do i load first?  Also i hope it is not necessary to load OS9.  I would think OSX install first and then the software restore disks and then the imac applications?
    Thanks.
    Robert.

    Boot from the disc labeled Disc One. Follow instructions and when you get to the part to select a Destination/Target drive click once on the drive then click on the Options button. Select the option for Erase and Install then click on the OK button and proceed.
    You do not have to install OS 9. If you don't then you simply cannot use the OS X Classic emulator.
    I believe there is a separate installer on Disc One for restoring pre-bundled software.

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Access denied on first login, then it lets the user in (Fedora Core 5)

    I am getting the message "Access denied by Application security check" the first time I login to the db (dba privs.) from a remote machine. Then I click the link to return to the application and log in again. This time it will let me in. Then I close the browser, open back up and it does the same thing. After doing this a few times it lets me in w/o the message until I rebooted, and then it starts the message again (I rebooted both the server and the client come to think of it). At any rate it is installed on FC5, which I am a little green on, however I did somehow manage to get this far.

    Here is a way to design for scheduler running:
    Import-Module ActiveDirectory
    $path='\\UNCLocation\devshare\*'
    $addn = (Get-ADDomain).DistuinguishedName
    $defaultLocation="OU=Homeless,$addn"
    $dnsroot = (Get-ADDomain).dnsroot
    $log = "C:\Path\To\errorlog.log"
    $enabled=$true
    function Logit($type='INFO',$msg,$p1,$p2){
    $text=('[{0}][{1}]{2}[{3}|{4}]' -f [DateTime]::Now,$type,$msg,$p1,$p2)
    Write-Verbose $text
    $text| Out-File $log -append
    Function Create-Users{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param()
    Get-ChildItem $path -Include *.csv |
    ForEach-Object {
    $nu=Import-Csv $_
    $sam = $_.FirstName.substring(0,1).ToLower() + $_.LastName.ToLower()
    if(!Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(sAMAccountName=$sam)")
    Logit -msg 'Creating user' -p1 $sam
    $setpass = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $_.Password -force
    $userprops=@{
    SamAccouontName=$sam
    GivenName=$_.FirstName
    Initials=$_.Initials
    Surname=$_.LastName
    DisplayName=($_.LastName + "," + $_.FirstName)
    UserPrincipalName=($sam + "@" + $dnsroot)
    OfficePhone=$_.Number
    AccountPassword=$setpass
    Enabled=$enabled
    Path=$defaultLocation
    $location = $_.Department + ".$($addn)"
    If ([adsi]::Exists("LDAP://$($location)")){
    $userprops.Path=$location
    Logit -msg "User $sam will be created inctarget OU:" -p1 $location
    }else{
    Logit -type ERROR -msg 'Target OU not found. User will be created in default'
    New-AdUser @userprops
    Logit -msg 'Created new user:' -p1 $sam
    }else{
    Logit -type ERROR -msg 'Username already exists' $sam
    Create-Users -Verbose
    The code loops through all CSVs found.  If you run it in the scheduler every 2 or 3 minutes it will be pretty fast.
    You will need to add a layer of error handling and logging to get it to work smoothly.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • I downloaded a song and i tried to listen to it but it will only play the first half of the song and then skip to the next song.

    I downloaded several songs successfully to my ipod nano (5) but this particular song when i tried to listen to it would play for the first half and then skip to the next song in the playlist like the ipod thought the song was over.

    Did you download from itunes? If not, some websites save the song too quickly or in a format that glitches.
    I've had this problem before with both itunes and non itunes purchases, try deleting it and re-downloading.

  • Why should we load header data first and then we load item level data?

    Hi BW guru`s,
    I have small confusion about the data loading.
    Why should we load header data first and then we load item level data?
    Is there any particular reason?
    Scenario: 1st I have uploaded 2LIS_11_VAHDR sales document header data from R/3 to BW by using LO-Cockpit extraction. Then I loaded 2LIS_11_VAITM.This is the norma procedure which we use to follow.
    I have a question. If I load 2LIS_11_VAITM data 1st from R/3 to BW and then I will load 2LIS_11_VAHDR by using LO-Cockpit extraction. what will happen?
    Regards,
    Venkat

    There is no difference in doing it the other way.
    The load sequence will come into play only during activation where if you map the same fields from the two datasources, you might want to have the previous value overwritten by data from the next datasource.
    That is when you should care about loading one datasource before the other.
    To your question it is not arule that header data should come first.

    Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
    Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
    His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
    I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
    THE GOODREADER OPTION
    1.  CREATE the document you want to send.
    2.  SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
    3.  Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
    4.  COMPOSE your Reply.
    5.  DOUBLE TAP the message.
    6.  TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
    7.  OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
    8.  At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
    9.  TAP the Export button.
    10.  TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
    11.  TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
    12.  ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
    13.  SEND your email Reply.
    The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
    1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
    2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
    3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
    4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
    5 Select e-mail file
    6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
    7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
    8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
    Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.
