Is the RemoteApp collection the way to go?

Hello all,
I just signed up for a 30 day trial of Azure - have set-up one virtual machine - running Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
We currently have two virtual machines hosted with a company - we are not renewing the contract and are looking at other options - I heard that Microsoft does this and here we are!
So we want to possibly see if we can get away with one server - small company, not a lot of $$.
The server has two purposes:
1) SQL Database for custom application - users access via simple *.exe on their computer - pointing to server's IP address/custom port
2) QuickBooks Enterprise - which users currently access via RDS or RemoteApp
**NOTE: both programs need to be run in the same memory space as there is a custom interface done by our developer. For example if staff only want to use QuickBooks they'll access via RemoteApp. If they need to do a transfer of data between
the custom database program and QuickBooks they'll do a RD connection to the server - launch both apps from the desktop as they need to run at the same time for the data transfer - and do the transfer.
The database setup, access, etc. should be straight forward - I am just not sure how the RemoteApp side works with Azure. We have approx 10 users - do we have to create this RemoteApp collection? Is it not possible to set-up RemoteApp directly
on the server? I've added that as a server role and of course it's prompting about licensing - which I could easily purchase from our software vendor if that is less expensive/easier than doing the Azure RemoteApp side of things? And again my concern
is about these two programs having to run in the same memory space - side by side.
Yes I'm completely new to Azure and taking this trial time to really dig into things but getting help with this would really help me to move forward with things. Thanks so much! :-)

SamsonRules,
Great question, there are two deployments methods for Azure RemoteApp, they are Cloud and Hybrid, and depending on your needs one or the other may or may not satisfy your requirements.
I’m not familiar with QuickBooks Enterprise and assume that QuickBook clients can communicate with the Quickbooks server over the internet or WAN and don’t need to be on the same network, correct?
If so then Cloud deployment will work with your database hosted in SQL Azure or on Azure IaaS instance with SQL installed.
If not, then Hybrid deployment is your only option.
Here’s what I would do, since you already have an Azure IaaS deployment, I’d simply create a Cloud deployment, launch IE, open File Explorer (just type c:\ in the address bar), when file explorer
launchs copy the simple*.exe app to file system like the desktop using copy/paste, then launch the simple*.exe app and connect to your Azure IaaS deployment of QuickBooks.
If it works then you can go the route of creating a custom image that includes the simple*.exe app and publish to users.
It’s a bit of a trick validation but works great because you have a simple*.exe app that does not require full installation with Admin rights.

Could not provision the RemoteApp collection. Error: Could not join the domain. Unable to reach the domain.

Hi
I am trying to set up an Azure RemoteApp Hybrid solution.
I have created RemoteApp net and uploaded a custom image and all that is fine.
When I link my template to my Collection it fails after provisioning for about an hour.
I recive the following message: Could not provision the RemoteApp collection. Error: Could not join the domain. Unable to reach the domain.
The join domin works fine and I have tryed with account with different lvl of access to my AD.
Any suggestion how to solve this?

Hello Eric,
I am landing into the same Problem and i read your guidance on this issue. Let me answer it point by point.
1. Check the VPN state to ensure it is active or connected state:
Sundesh:My Azure RemoteApp Virtual Network after successfull S2S configuration shows as Ready. Is that what you mean by Connected State? Earlier to S2S, it was just under connecting state.
2. Verify your VNET configurations have proper IP address ranges
Sundesh: The VNET address range, the Local address range and DNS has already been verified twice. In fact the same address ranges(with exception to VNET) are working fine on a VENT config on Azure VM instance. Verified.
3. Verify your DNS IP configurations are valid, (often this is the problem)
Sundesh: Yes its done and verified
4. Verify the credentials entered for domain join are valid.
Sundesh: Tested these credentials by joining a regular Azure VM to domain and it works there.
5. Make sure your VPN endpoint that Azure RemoteApp service is connecting to is not blocking traffic.
Sundesh: Can you please let us know the specific port numbers that we need to consider and i can have it checked with the Network team
Thanks

Two Iterators on the Same Collection

I posted this one on the Java Collections Framework forum but there don't seem to be many people there so let me post this here, too.
I want to use two iterators at the same time on a single collection. They are like two trains going one after another. If I use the iterator supplied by Java, however, if one iterator structurally modifies the underlying collection, the other throws ConcurrentModificationException.I want to avoid this. I want both iterators to modify the underlying collection freely, and when the collection was modified by one, I want the other to know what happened and what to do, rather than throwing an exception. How can I do this? Can I just manipulate somewhat on the Java iterator, or must I make an iterator implementation that does what I want from the scratch?

I'm writing a flow analysis module of a compiler. I'm not totally sure what optimizer does, but it needs to manipulate the list of instructions, which involves removing and adding instructions into the list. Some time we may need two iterators that cooperate together to find out when we can remove an instruction, for example. Or, one iterator does the analysis and removal, while the other may do some cleanup work. (I say again I'm not totally sure what optimizer does.) Some guy suggested using visitor pattern, but after some investigation (of the visitor pattern stuff) I thought iterator that behaved more smartly was more relevant. Or maybe not.

Known Issue: "DNS server could not be reached" when creating or updating a RemoteApp collection using template images for some locales

When trying to create or update Azure RemoteApp collections that use a template image for some non-EN-US locales, it might fail with error "DNS server could not be reached". You might also see error code "DnsNotReachable".

Cause: There was a issue in Azure in which decimal punctuation was not treated properly if the locale of the template image used a comma (,) instead of a period (.).
Workaround: Before a fix was applied, the workaround was to use template images based on a locale that uses a period to delimit decimals, such as EN-US.
Resolution: As of March 19, 2015, a fix for this issue has been applied to Azure. You should once again be able to create collections from template images that use non-EN-US locales. If you continue to have this problem, please
try the workaround. If that works and the only difference in the template images is the locale, please email remoteappforum (at Microsoft). If the workaround does not work, the issue is likely caused by a DNS configuration issue such as:
No valid forwarders to public DNS servers configured on your internal DNS server(s).
A valid internal DNS server is not specified on your Azure RemoteApp VNet.
A VNet or internal network configuration issue is preventing the internal DNS servers from be reached by the VMs in the RemoteApp collection.

Is there a way to automatically collect the log files from a AirPort or TimeCapsule base station?

Hi there,
the headline says basically all: Is there a way to collect the log files from a Time Capsule 7 AirPort from time to time? They are overwritten quite soon but I want a complete log of all activities to my access point.
The AirPort Utility says something about SNMP. Is this the way to go? Some kind of demon on my Mac that retrieves and saves the logs like every two days?
I want to copy the access logs, I am not interested in Time Machine backup logs.
Thanks.

There is a way to do this via Syslog. On the Logging & Statistics panel (within the AirPort Utility), you can point the AirPort's system logs to a Syslog "server."
This would require a "dedicated" network client to receive the logs.
Unfortunately, setting up a Syslog server is a bit intensive initially, but is simple to operate and maintain.
Please check out this Apple Support Communities thread: Directing Syslog message to a file
ref: Enable an Apple Mac OS machine as a syslog server

Known Issue: "Unexpected error" when trying to update an Azure RemoteApp collection from the Azure portal

Symptoms: You select an Azure RemoteApp collection in the Azure portal and then click Update. The result is a pop-up like the following:
Unexpected error
An expected error occurred. Check the management portal for related information, and then try again. If you continue to experience this problem, please contact support.

Workaround:
Install the latest Azure PowerShell module (version 0.8.16 - you will encounter errors if you do not use at least this version)
Connect to your subscription
Use a cmdlet to update the collection:
“Update-AzureRemoteAppCollection -CollectionName <collection> -ImageName <image name>"
Resolution: A fix for this has been applied to the Azure site.

Is there any way to collect the file list from UTL_FILE_DIR.

I expect the use "Oracle supplied package UTL_FILE" to import our customer order shipments to table by XML format files. I already did the procedure to import one XML file into Table by DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML and UTL_FILE. GET_LINE. And it did work.
My question is :
Is there any way to collect the file list from UTL_FILE_DIR. (I put all import XML files into `/usr/tmp?, I want to get all file names from this folder and feed them into UTL_FILE.FOPEN.)
Thanks in advance

UTL_FILE_DIR is a very dangerous and deprecated parameter. Oracle very specifically recommends not using it. You should be using directory objects instead.
As for doing a directory listing, you can use Java stored proc. External procs/functions are not required.
The following sample shows how to use such a Java stored proc to insert the result of a directory listing into a session temporary table:
create or replace and compile java source named "ListFiles" as
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ListFiles
        public static void getList(String directory, String filter)
        throws SQLException
                File path = new File( directory );
                final String ExpressionFilter = filter;
                FilenameFilter fileFilter = new FilenameFilter() {
                        public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                                if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(ExpressionFilter))
                                        return true;
                                if(name.matches("." + ExpressionFilter))
                                        return true;
                                return false;
                String[] list = path.list(fileFilter);
                String element;
                for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
                        element = list;
#sql {

How to collect the deleted query in a transport request.

Hi Friends,
I have created a query and transported it to the Quality, the data content is all ok, except that i have not used the Project Naming conventions. Now i have a defect against my name for this. I have to copy the same query with the correct Naming convention and transport it.
My question is after copying the query with correct name i have to delete the old query (if not there would be 2 versions of the same query). How do i collect the deleted image of the query in a transport and send it to quality?.
I tried deleting a test query from Bex Designer, but this does not ask me for a transport. should i use RSZDELETE?. Not sure if it asks for a transport request when i delete the query.
Can someone pls tell me how to go about this?.
Thanks in advance.
BN

Hi BN,
I do agree that deleting directly in Quality and Prod is not good way and not recommeded.
I have not tried and deleted.But if the system is configured in such a way that if it doesnt ask for a request
then i feel you have no option.
If any object is deleted then you must have the deletion image collected into request at the same point when you are deleting.Because later when we go to transport connection we wont find the object itself.
What i think from your point as you said you have done earlier is you must have any open request regrding this query and when this query is deleted , the deletion image is also included in the same request.
So go to se03 and give your deleted query name and check all the requests.
Check in the requests when the deletion image is captured or not. we might be knowing that this is cpatured.
Regards

Recycle bin to show all deleted items on the site collection for specific user group

hi there, is there any way where a certain sharepoint group (i.e. site collection members) to view and restore deleted items on theentire collection, without giving them site collection rights orgive them more rights than necessary? we wanted to create
aSP group that has the permission to restore deleted items and give them to selected users so that our users won't have to contact us when they want to restore a deleted item

I don't believe you can. If an item get's deleted it should go to the first recycle bin @ /_layouts/15/RecycleBin.aspx
The Recycle Bin gives a site collection administrator
greater control when users delete files, versions of files, list items, libraries, lists, and folders from a SharePoint site by providing a second stage safety net before an item is permanently deleted from a site. When a user deletes an item from the Recycle
Bin, the item is sent to a second stage Recycle Bin (also known as the Site Collection Recycle Bin) that the site collection administrator manages. This article focuses on how a site collection administrator can manage the Recycle Bin for a site collection.

Could someone please tell me the fastest, cheapest, simplest way to back up all my data (photos and music) thanks!

Well I am heading in to the
apple services store to collect my computer which went dead in my power cut 10 days ago (discussed in my last post), and has since been fixed with new power supply. My question is - what's the cheapest and easiest way for me to back-up all my data (several thousand photos, and similar number of songs on iTunes, and a few quicktime video files) Is there a product I can buy to save it on - I have no idea how many gigs etc, that will be? and what I need to buy to do so, and finally, how easy/fast will it be to save everything.... this is indeed a very simple thing, I am sure, but I have never done it before, just saved odd bits on pen drives, etc..... The repair is costing over $400 - and as it's an old imac, aside from the fact it has all of Final Cut Pro Studio on it - it's hardly worth the repair price.... what I want though is to save everything as cheaply and simply as possible - what do I need to buy and how (in simple language please) do I save it... Many many thanks if anyone can put this in simple language for me... Cheers

I agree with BGreg about OWC, great people and service, quality products and competitive prices. Not bigbox sell cheap stuff prices but fair prices. Like him I also like cloning with SuperDuper! or CCC. For most users CCC is perfect - SuperDuper! adds some extras that techs like.
But I'll also add a vote for Apple's own TimeMachine. It is an automatic backup system that runs every hour; the first backup takes a while and the rest not very long because they are backing up only the chances made in the last hour. Due to its schema, TimeMachine is most effective with a backup drive that is 2-3 times larger than your backup set. If you are using 200GB of your 500GB drive, then your TimeMachine backup drive should be at least 400GB and preferably closer to 600GB.
The two backup schemes are different and having two different backups is a very good idea - backup drives have been known to die . The clone's advantage is that it is a bootable system disk - if your computer's drive dies you can boot with it and keep working until you get the computer repaired. If your computer's drive gets messed up you can boot with the clone and try to repair it or at least recover some of the most recent files that aren't on the clone. (Which happens to be one of the disadvantages of a clone - people tend to reclone somewhat infrequently.) Having TimeMachine means you have very recent backups.
So if you intend to keep using this computer - TimeMachine might be the better choice - or at least another consideration. If you are just grabbing data - CCC will do the trick best.

How can i add a special user to the "site collection administrators" of the personal site on sharepoint online when the personal site is creating ?

when a new personal site is created on the sharepoint online 2013， then the administrator of this personal site will be himself. we can add another person to the "site collection administrators", then this person have full control of this personal
site.
but my request is : add this personal to the personal site when the personal site is creating, but not after the personal site has created ?
Is anybody know how to do that?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add a special user to the "site collection administrators" of the personal site on sharepoint online when the personal site is creating.
Per my knowledge,
there is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.

Deleting a font from the favorites collection (in Mail)

This is certainly something I can live with if I have to but while I can easily add fonts to my "favorites" collection I see NO way to get rid of them. None. Going to "add to favorites" does not give the option to remove from favorites. As usual, Apple Help is no help
dual 2.3 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 8 gig RA<</span>

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I didn't explain the situation properly. When in Mail, if I access Fonts (Apple T) I see, in the Collection area, a list of 12 Collections, beginning with "All Fonts" and ending with "Web". Numbers 2&3, between "All Fonts" and "Chinese", are "Favorites" and "Recently Used". There are several interesting things to note about these two Collections (in addition to the problem I first described). For one thing, if I select either of them then "Family" becomes the only category to the right ("Typeface" goes away). That makes sense, I suppose. Also, if I select either of them the "-" option goes away, so those two Collections are not deleteable. If I select "Recently Used" there is never anything in it and, finally, if I go to "Manage Fonts" those two Collections, Favorites and Recently Used, are not seen.
So, I now have three fonts in that "Favorites" Collection, one of which is, in fact, my favorite and two of which are not. There is no way to remove the two non-favorites from that dialogue box. They will not drag anywhere and "Add Fonts" option does simply that. There is no option to remove. If I go to "Manage Fonts" the "Favorites" (and the "Recently Used") Collection is not seen. If I go to ~/Library/Fonts/ that's all there are-fonts. If I go to ~/Library/FontCollections/ then I see nine collections (Chinese through Web) plus one named "com.apple.Favorites.collection". Sounds as though we're getting close! But, sadly, these aren't folders, they're Collections. If I try to open on it tries to open with Adobe Bridge which is less than helpful.
Do you have any other thoughts? As I said, I can live (long and prosperously) with this. It just isn't the way it should be.
Thanks,
gerard

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
