Is it possible to have two SCCM instances for the same domain

Hello - I'm the IT Project Manager for an organization that has a single domain-production.
In here, we have an instance of SCCM 2012 setup. This instance is used to build packages, images, testing, validations, modifications etc. as well as for production roll outs. The primary issues we have with this is there is no separation between test and
prod, also, there are several packages, task sequences etc causing confusion in determining which is a test package and which is prod.
Setting up a test domain does not seem to be a viable option for us, at least for now.
So, my question is, can we have another instance of SCCM in the same domain that we can restrict only for the sake of testing & validations and then use the original one to deploy the tested (gold) packets.
Just a thought!! Does it make sense? Any challenges that we could face?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes you can no problem, you should avoid having Boundary / Boundary Groups used for Site Assignment that overlap and make sure that PXE request to the test/dev environment is restricted to one test subnet to avoid co-existance issues.

Is it possible to have two app icons for the same app?

I work with Assistive Technologies that enable people with various disabilites to use computing devices, such as the iPad. Some people do not have the fine motor skills to precisely tap the intended app icon. If I had a page full of app icons that launched the same app then I might have a workaround.
Thanks in advance,

Mike,
At the moment, no. The app store won't let you re-download an app already installed, and they all come in single icons.
The accessibility settings enable a zoom feature, but if your clients have difficulty tapping an app, they may have issues using three fingers simultaneously to zoom in/out.
There is a voice ability, but I've just spent the last 10 minutes playing with it and successfully called everyone in my phonebook (And i only wanted to open iBooks)
If you turn the iPad landscape you still have the same amount of apps on the page, just spaced out a little more, giving more margin for error/ But this still requires the same 'touch space area' to activate the app.
This might be something Apple could look at, with pressure from users such as yourself and your clients.
Hope this helps, even though it;s not really a solution

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive. One of my cameras does not use an SD card. How can I do this?

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive. One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line. Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory. Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive? Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad? Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips. Internet and WiFi are not available. Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad). I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC. I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips. Is this possible and how would I do it? I'd appreciate any guidance.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

Is it possible to have two DADs that access the same database?????

Hello,
Is it possible to have two DADs that access the same database?
One DAD would be password protected with Authentication mode Per Package and the other DAD would not require a password/login
If it is possible can you also give suggestions about how to do this
Thanks

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SHARING MY LIBRARY WITH MY SON. WHAT I DID WIAS CREATED A LIBRARY FOR HIS USE ONLY. IN ITUNES CLICK--FILE--NEW PLAYLIST AND THIS SHOULD ADD AN UNTILED PLAY LIST IN YOUR SIDE BAR. CLICK ON IT AND RENAME IT. HE CAN KEEP ALL OF HIS MUSIC IN THIS LIBRARY. SELECT ALL OF HIS MUSIC FROM YOUR LIBRARY AND DRAG IT INTO HIS. ONCE THIS IS DONE YOU CAN THEN REMOVE HIS SONS FROM YOU PLAY LIST. MAKE SURE YOU ONE REMOVE IT FROM YOUR PLAY LIST AND NOT DELETE THE FILE.

Is it possible to have Different Interval Ranges for the same Doc Type

Dear All,
Here is the issue.Is it possible to have different interval ranges for the same document type according to certain condition.Like my client , wants his interval ranges be divided according to region(which are many)
Regards,
Sameer Jalees

Hello,
As you know we can only assign one number range for External and one number range group for internal in the sales document type.
If you want different number ranges based on the regions, then as Jignesh suggested, you need to go for an enhancement.
Use the exit USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE in program MVA45AFZZ, include a Z table with region as a critera and number range group for different numbers based on the regions. Talk to the business and get more details, get the help of ABAP team for technical details.

If I have two Root CA in the same Domain, Do I have to configure two seperate locations for the CRLs

Hello All
Can someone please help me with the following question :)
I asked the question, can you have two Enterprise Root CA in the same AD domain. This question was kindly answered by Paul
here the answer was Yes.
As far as I believe the two important aspects from a client point of view (e.g. IE on Windows 7 PC for example) are
1: Public key of the CA (e.g. the CA cert published in AD and therefore downloaded to the X509 store on your PC)
2: CRL (published via LDAP (in Configuration partition of AD), HTTP/S or File Share)
I believe as long as you have access to the above two you can turn the CA off if you want.
I believe the location of the CRL is detailed in the CDP which is detailed on the Certs issued but a given CA, so the client can look in the Cert and see what it states about the CDP and thereby get the list of revoked certs.
If all of the above is correct?
when I add a second Root CA to the same Domain, do I need to use a CA setup file (e.g. the text file, I believe with a .inf extension) to tell the CA setup routine to place its CDP at a location other than the default location in case it overwrites
the existing CRL at the default location. Basically I do not want to overwrite (delete) the current CRL when installing another Root CA or does the fully qualified X500 name of the CDP include the CA Name (and therefore be unique) and it will not over write
the original?
Thanks All

> I believe as long as you have access to the above two you can turn the CA off if you want.
Enterprise CAs are not intended to be offline. Therefore, you should not turn off them. If these root CAs issue certificates only to subordinate CAs, then you should consider to implement offline Standalone (not Enterprise) Root CAs.
> I believe the location of the CRL is detailed in the CDP which is detailed on the Certs issued but a given CA, so the client can look in the Cert and see what it states about the CDP and thereby get the list of revoked certs.
this is correct.
> to place its CDP at a location other than the default location in case it overwrites the existing CRL at the default location
no, CDP locations should be defined in the post-installation script.
> does the fully qualified X500 name of the CDP include the CA Name (and therefore be unique) and it will not over write the original
yes, LDAP URL includes CA server's NetBIOS name to differentiate between CAs.

Is it possible in IOS to have two static routes for the same subnet, one a higher priority and "failover" between the 2?

Hi All
Is it possible in IOS to have for a particular subnet:
a) Two static routes?
b) Make one static route a higher priority than the other?
c) If one static router "goes down", failover to the lower priority static route?
We have a l2tp/vpdn connection to a supplier which can be accessed via two vlans/routes. I would like to make one route the preferred one but the "route" to failover if the preferred route goes down.
Again, many thanks in advance for all responses!
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Hope the below explaination will help you...
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2.2.2.2
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3.3.3.3 10
If you notice the Administrative Distance for the secondary route pointing to ISP2 is increased to 10 so that it becomes the backup link.
The above configuration with just two floating static routes partially accomplishes our requirement as it will work only in the scenario where the routers interfaces connected to the WAN link are in up/down or down/down status. But in a lot of situations we see that even though the links remain up but we are not able to reach the gateway, this usually happens when the issue is at the ISP side.
In such scenarios, IP SLAs becomes an engineer's best friend. With around six additional IOS commands we can have a more reliable automatic failover environment.
Using IP SLA the Cisco IOS gets the ability to use Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) pings to identify when a WAN link goes down at the remote end and hence allows the initiation of a backup connection from an alternative port. The Reliable Static Routing Backup using Object Tracking feature can ensure reliable backup in the case of several catastrophic events, such as Internet circuit failure or peer device failure.
IP SLA is configured to ping a target, such as a publicly routable IP address or a target inside the corporate network or your next-hop IP on the ISP's router. The pings are routed from the primary interface only. Following a sample configuration of IP SLA to generate icmp ping targeted at the ISP1s next-hop IP.
R1(config)# ip sla 1
R1(config)# icmp-echo 2.2.2.2 source-interface FastEthernet0/0
R1(config)# timeout 1000
R1(config)# threshold 2
R1(config)# frequency 3
R1(config)# ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now
The above configuration defines and starts an IP SLA probe.
The ICMP Echo probe sends an ICMP Echo packet to next-hop IP 2.2.2.2 every 3 seconds, as defined by the “frequency” parameter.
Timeout sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) for which the Cisco IOS IP SLAs operation waits for a response from its request packet.
Threshold sets the rising threshold that generates a reaction event and stores history information for the Cisco IOS IP SLAs operation.
After defining the IP SLA operation our next step is to define an object that tracks the SLA probe. This can be accomplished by using the IOS Track Object as shown below:
R1(config)# track 1 ip sla 1 reachability
The above command will track the state of the IP SLA operation. If there are no ping responses from the next-hop IP the track will go down and it will come up when the ip sla operation starts receiving ping response.
To verify the track status use the use the “show track” command as shown below:
R1# show track
Track 1
IP SLA 1 reachability
Reachability is Down
1 change, last change 00:03:19
Latest operation return code: Unknown
The above output shows that the track status is down. Every IP SLAs operation maintains an operation return-code value. This return code is interpreted by the tracking process. The return code may return OK, OverThreshold, and several other return codes.
Different operations may have different return-code values, so only values common to all operation types are used. The below table shows the track states as per the IP SLA return code.
Tracking
Return Code
Track State
Reachability
OK or over threshold
(all other return codes)
Up
Down
The Last step in the IP SLA Reliable Static Route configuration is to add the “track” statement to the default routes pointing to the ISP routers as shown below:
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2.2.2.2 track 1
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3.3.3.3 10
The track number keyword and argument combination specifies that the static route will be installed only if the state of the configured track object is up. Hence if the track status is down the secondary route will be used to forward all the traffic.
Please rate the helpfull posts.

Naidu.

Is it possible to have two ipod touhes on the same account, but have different apps and music and so on on the separate ipods?

Yes. See:'

I need to have two time zones on the same iCal appointment

I work accross four time zones, two of which do not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST). This means that when I'm booking my flights on iCal, it would be usefull to have two time zones in the same iCal appointment (Outlook, for instance, allows this). What I currently do is to choose one of the time zones as the iCal appointment and then I "translate" the other time to the one I'm using on iCal.
This is quite a challenge, though:
if I'm taking a flight from Luanda (WAT = GMT+1, no DST) to London (GMT with DST) I would like to book it on iCal exactly like it shows on the ticket , 21:00 (WAT) to 06:00 (GMT).
Using the "translated approach", from May to October, this means 21:00 (GMT) to 06:00 (GMT).
Using the same approach, from November to April it means from 20:00 (GMT) to 06:00 (GMT).
If I include Jo'burg (CAT = GMT+2, no DST) and Frankfurt (GMT+1 with DST), booking flights in your calendar becomes quite a challenge!
Does anyone know if this feature is planned for any future versions of iCal?

Hi,
This is not possible in iCal. The nearest thing would be to create two events, one for take off and one for landing.
Also, this is a user to user forum. By posting here you are not guaranteed someone from Apple will read it. If you'd like Apple to know about your suggestion I reccommend you send them feedback.

Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

Currently I have two iPads connected to the same Apple ID and one connected to Game Center. I want to connect the second iPad to Game Center so that I do not lose my progress on apps like Clash of Clans.

Currently I have two iPads connected to the same apple iPad. One is connected to game center(iPad air) one the other(iPad 2) is not connected to Game Center. How can I connect the iPad 2 Clash of Clan progress to game center when I already have another clash from iPad air connected?

You cannot transfer content between two accounts. The sooner you make the conversion, the better. Just pick the new one and start using it(buying music etc).
*A lot of people open new accounts when their email changes or they have a new email. You can just access your apple id account and change the primary email that you use to log in along with other details.

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. One computer is not working, so I want to know how I can access my playlists, etc. that are one that computer on the working one?

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. However, there are different playlists on each laptop. One laptop is messed up and I cannot get on the internet with it, so I was able to deauthorize it from the itunes account. I thought that would bring the playlists over to the other computer, but it did not. Is there a way to do it?

I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
See: Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
Uncheck the little square button with the "1".
