Logistic initial setup with delta going on

Hi,
I am needing to check an old document extraction, since i found it in BW productive system with an error.
The PSA was deleted so i can't see the records that came from R/3.
So, i was thinking to run initial setup for my purchasing datasources, only taking that document. My question is, if the loading process (delta) still going on (i don't want to reload BW), can i make a test to run setup and then delete the tables? Can it be any problem with that?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Diego Lombardini

Initial Setup Problem - Starting the SLD Registration process

Hi,
we are installing our PI development system. During initial configuration with "NWA --> Configuration Management --> Scenarios --> Configuration Wizard --> Netweaver initial setup" the wizard stands still at Step 68 (of 561) "Starting the SLD Registration process".
We have restarted the system but after starting again the wizard it stands still again.
Same problem on our PI quality assurance system.
PI 7.11 on Windows 2008 R2 with MSSQL 2008 R2.
Steps of installation:
1) Installation of PI 7.11
2) Postworks ABAP (License, TMS, Profiles, rz04, ...)
3) Kernelupdate to 106
4) Updates SPS7 ABAP
5) Updates SPS7 JAVA
6) Run NWA Initial Setup with J2EE_ADMIN
Could someone help?
Thanks

Then possibly the password was set wrong somewhere (since the "-" character is not blocked). Its advisable to check all service users passwords, to prevent other issues like this one to occur. Please check the OSS note "999962 - PI 7.10: Change passwords of PI service users" for more information on this.

I set up a new user on my network today and am now in a location without access to that network. I just set her up as a user on her macbook but I can't log in with her credentials. Is that because I am not on the network and it is the initial setup?

You need to set the option to create a mobile account using the Directory Utility app.

Recently in the Bahamas where I helped a friend with his new iPad. We could not find Bahamas in initial setup so we used United States and could not enter Visa/MC billing address in Bahamas. iTunes rejected, billing info is not what's on file. What to do?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information.

Q5 initial setup problem with WIFI and agreement

Hi guys;
It’s my first day with my BB Q5,I started as the manul said but at the very beginning i faced a strange problem.As manual say’s i must connect to mobile network or WIFI.I got 2 wifi networks at my office.I get connected and Hotspot login say’s "Your BB device is now connected to the internet.
Swipe left to continue but after few seconds it say’s "unable to connect to the network.Please try changing your settings"
What shall i do now?
I tired with and without simcard also tried diffrent wifi connections but none helped

Hi,
thanks for your comment, actually I tried several ones even without hotspot, but it didn't work, however my problem resolved while I got out of country and tried anothe hotspot WiFi and it is very quickly doen and I passed agreement page.
simply country IP was blocked in Blackberry servers, it means anyone want to connect from IRAN IP can not pass agreement pafe in initial setup.
and you ask your self why

Are there any issues with changing IP address of an ACS v5.3 system after initial setup?

I am migrating from ACS v4.2.1 to v5.3. I want the final v5.3 system to assume the IP address of the original 4.2 machine so I don't have to change any configs on the network devices.
Are there any issues with changing the v5.3 system IP address AFTER the initial setup?

I tried it without a problem. I changed the ip address of the WLC many times.
You have to make sure though that:
1-) You change the switchport accordingly to the appropriate vlan if the new ip belongs to a subnet of a different vlan.
2-) Make sure that all AAA clients configured to use the new IP address of the ACS servers.
Here is the procedure how to change the ip of the interface (as per cisco doc):
http://goo.gl/0BYqVT
I changed also by normal ip address command and it works. but of course the server must be standalone before doing that step (i.e. no secondary ACSs registered to it and it is not registered to other ACSs in a distributoin).

T500 Vista buying experience and initial setup problems

This a long post but I felt the information could be used by others buying a notebook and trying to set it up.
I have used a Thinkpad T40 (1 GB, XP Pro) at work since 2003 and just love the rock-solid keyboard, screen, and hinges. The IT department has offered me the most recent Dell computer as an upgrade but I much prefer to keep my old reliable T40.
When my daughter needed a notebook for university in September, it was only natural to consider Lenovo, having heard about too many quality problems with other manufacturers. I wanted this notebook to last through the 4 years without any hardware problems.
I did a lot of research on the Web and read numerous Thinkpad forums. The information gathered was invaluable for deciding which configuration to buy. Note that I have never used VISTA before, nor have I ever opened a notebook to replace parts.
Buying experience:
- On my first contact with the Lenovo Sales desk in Canada, they mentioned there was a special 25% coupon sale, if my configuration was over $1500 (discounted price). These specials come back often, so it is best to check the Lenovo site. At the time, there was a free integrated camera, free upgrade to 250 MB HDD and free shipping. Since these promotions can be removed at any time, I decided to place an online order for a Thinkpad T500, before having completed all my research. It is easy to place an order online. You just have to remember that not all items contribute to making up the $1500, such as MS Office software.
- Lenovo Sales telephone support for answering any questions about online ordering was outstanding and very helpful.
- Note that if a particular online configuration is there one week, it might not be there the next week. It depends on parts availability at Lenovo.
- In order to get the 25% coupon discount, I had to add some items to my configuration to reach $1500, such as Bluetooth, Wifi 5100, which I did not really need, but the saving on the overall cost was worthwhile.
- I had ordered a WXGA (1280 x 800) High Brightness LED Backlit screen and 3 GB of RAM. After reading about the poor display quality of these screens, I was able to cancel my order by phone the next day (after making sure the same deal was still available), and place a new revised order for a WSXGA+ TFT (1680 x 1050) screen. Since the configuration price for an additional 2 GB RAM was $110 CDN, I decided to buy the extra 2 GB RAM (only $43 CDN) as an accessory, on the same order, separate from the T500 configuration. I could then install the RAM myself to save $67 ! Just make sure you pay the extra to get the base 2 GB RAM on one DIMM, since there are only 2 slots available. I know I will only be using 3.5 GB with my 32-bit Windows, but at least, if one of the DIMMs goes bad, I can still operate on 2 GB.
- as for choosing which CPU to buy, I chose in the middle range, starting with the first CPU having 3 MB L2 cache.
- I did not buy MS Office or McAfee Antivirus with the configuration. Since my daughter attends a post-secondary institution, she was able to order MS Office Ultimate 2007 for $64 CDN + $13 for the DVD. Microsoft has had this promotion on their site
(http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-ca/default.aspx)
for a while, but it is not well known. You get 8 MS products for one low price and it is completely legal for numerous countries ! I downloaded the software since it took 5 weeks to get the DVD delivered ! At the end of 4 weeks, I contacted Microsoft to tell them I had still not received the DVD. So I received the first DVD and a few weeks later, I received a second copy. So much for quick shipping !
Initial impressions:
- I received 3 separate shipments: 1 free Thinkpad privacy filter to install on the screen, the 2 GB RAM, and finally the T500 (which took about 2 weeks).
-The stainless steel hinges are rock-solid. When trying to raise the lid in the first weeks, you have to hold down the keyboard. Not at all like the hinges I see on the Dell notebooks at work.
- The 3 USB port connections are very tight, which means they should last through repeated plugging and unplugging.
- The T500 is surprisingly quiet, more than my T40. You can hardly hear the fan.
- I am extremely satisfied with the screen resolution, colours, and quality.
- The only disappointment was the keyboard ! Typing on the left-hand side (Q,W keys) produced an annoying "clunk". This was the worst keyboard I had ever used, being accustomed to the legendary quality of my T40. Even my daughter complained about the keyboard. I had read on the forums about the "flex" in the keyboard. Before ordering, when I asked the Sales Rep if these known problems had been solved, I was told that yes, the keyboard flex was no longer an issue. Too bad this was not true !
Initial Setup:
- Setup was easy. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
- I was not very happy to see a trial version of MS-Office and McAfee Antivirus on my notebook. I had not ordered it on the online configuration and did not want it. I had read on the forums that other users had all sorts of problems trying to get their own version of MS Office working (activation keys not being recognized), when the pre-loaded software was still there. And I knew how difficult it could be to erase all traces of McAfee by myself.
Hardware problems:
- after I burned my very first DVD, I pressed the Eject button. To my surprise, there was a thin grey foam ring (about 3 cm diameter) sitting on top of my DVD media. I assumed that this came from the roof of the DVD drive and the manufacturing process had missed the glue to keep it there. I contacted Lenovo and they immediately sent out a replacement (received the next day), which was easy to install. I then returned the defective part to Lenovo. My only complaint is that this was a refurbished unit. I was expecting a new unit since the part was defective out of the box and not a few months later.
- for the defective keyboard, I contacted Lenovo and mentioned the numerous complaints on the forums, and they sent me a new keyboard (FRU 42T3938). Unlike the DVD drive, I did not have to send back the original keyboard. However, the replacement keyboard was exactly the same as the original, with a thin flexible backing full of holes. I contacted Lenovo again in the morning and the agent mentioned I should contact Sales, since there was nothing more he could do. That afternoon, the agent called me to say that after further research, he had found a replacement keyboard that would correct the flex. When I received the second replacement keyboard (FRU 42T3210), I knew it was the right one, since there were far less holes in the more solid backing plate. I followed the instructions for replacing the keyboard and added my additional 2 GB RAM at the same time, since it is in the same area, under the palm rest. Now the keyboard is almost like my solid T40, and I am no longer ashamed of the T500 keyboard. For those of you wondering what an ACNOR or CSA keyboard is, it is one where the 5 most common French accented characters (and not only the é) are used with one keystroke. I have been using such a keyboard disposition since 1994 and it is invaluable when typing in French.

My immediate goals:
- out of the box, there are 3 partitions: partitions Q (10 GB) and S (1 GB) are Lenovo partitions to recover the operating system, C partition is a single partition over 200 GB on my 250 GB DD. I wanted to partition the C: drive in multiple partitions.
- I also wanted to eliminate MS Office and McAfee so I could install my own software (MS Office 2007 Ultimate and free Avast Antivirus). When I contacted Lenovo to ask how I could do this, they said I could use the recovery partition and "customize" it so that this software would not be installed. Turns out that this option was removed by Lenovo. I guess pressure from Microsoft and McAfee was too great ! The only other option was to use Add/Remove.
Partitioning problems.
- I ran Diskmgmt.msc (also available on XP) to see the layout of my HDD. Unfortunately, it did not seem to be powerful enough to partition like I wanted. But it is great to see the layout of the disk and do basic partitioning. (http://www.theeldergeek.com/hard_drives.htm)
- I installed the free EASUS Partition Manager (http://www.partition-tool.com/); the non-free Pro version works on 64-bit. I wanted to partition: C 35GB (Operating System and Office), D 20GB (other applications), E 25GB (Data), F 100GB (Music and Pictures). I also installed the free EASUS Todo Backup (http://www.todo-backup.com/) to do regular image backups as I was proceeding.
- while trying to partition the C drive, I must have made an error somewhere (I think I accidentally declared another partition as the active partition). Whenever I rebooted, I would get the message "Boot MGR is missing". I could not even use the recovery partition (Q and S) on the HDD. So my notebook was totally unusable. Fortunately, I had burned 4 Recovery DVD's, as soon as the OS was operational. The first recovery DVD booted OK. However, the system would not recognize any of the 3 other recovery DVD, displaying a message such as wrong disk inserted or something similar. Imagine if in a few months I had needed to use these recovery DVD that I had burned; they were completely useless and I would have nothing to recover with. Very scary !
- I explained the problem to Lenovo Support and they sent me within 3 days a set of 4 Rescue & Recovery DVD. By following the instructions, it took 2 hours to recover to a working system. The good: no Office or McAfee trial software came with this recovery. The bad: there was a 2 GB empty partition at the beginning of the HDD and 10 GB of unallocated space at the end of the disk. Why Lenovo would do this, I don't know; seems a bit sloppy to me. Also, I had to manually reconfigure everything, since there is no "just follow the instructions" as when configuring the "out-of-the-box" system. I had to install my own PDF viewer
(free open source PDF X-viewer http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer), Adobe Flash, etc...
- the major problem in partitioning is the inability to shrink a partition (such as C) in order to free up space after to add extended partitions
(http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/working-around-windows-vistas-shrink-volume-inadequacy-...). There always seems to be VISTA unmovable files, MBR or something else. After reading numerous posts, I installed the trial version (30 days) of Raxco PerfectDisk Home edition in order to consolidate all the files to the front of the C: drive. A few iterations were required since the MBR seems to be placed in the middle of the partition. I was finally able to partition my HDD exactly as I wanted. I was so pleased with the efficiency and ease of use of PerfectDisk that I bought the Pro 10 version. Just wait for when the software is occasionally discounted. (http://www.perfectdisk.com/home)
VISTA User account setup:
I had created my E partition to store all user data of all accounts, since I would have multiple accounts on the computer. I also wanted to store all music and pictures in the Public folder on F partition. There are numerous methods described on the Internet, most of which seem too complicated. See http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2007/04/07/change-user-profile-folder-location-in-vista/ and
http://www.vista4beginners.com/Move-user-files-folders-to-another-partition?page=1. I finally decided to do just 2 simple registry modifications described in the last post here
(http://superuser.com/questions/6391/moving-users-folder-on-windows-vista-seven-to-another-partition).
It worked for me but use at your own risk ! Just edit the 2 Registry keys and replace the C: drive by the one you need.
- I only had the Admin account created on the C: partition. Before creating any other user accounts, I modified the registry so that all new user accounts created would use my E partition.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList ProfilesDirectory = E:\Users
- I modified the registry so that the Public folder would be on my F partition.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Public = F:\Public
Other notes of interest:
- I had been a long-time subscriber to the Fred Langa Langalist
(http://www.langa.com/backups/backups.htm). I now subscribe to the excellent Windows Secrets newsletter (http://www.windowssecrets.com/). The information provided is very useful.
- I had considered an inexpensive boot manager, partition manager and imaging software (BootIt Next Generation) highly recommended by Fred Langa
(http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm). But it seemed a bit like overkill for my needs. There is a fully-functioning trial version.
- I regularly consult a complete list of recommended free software on Gizmo's Freeware review (http://www.techsupportalert.com). One recommended free open source defragmenter which I did not use was MyDefrag (http://www.mydefrag.com/).
- download and install the latest version of the Lenovo System Tools (Toolbox). It is very easy to use and can troubleshoot all hardware problems. Search for MIGR-67520 on the Lenovo site.
- you can find Roxio DVD burning software on the Lenovo site (MIGR-72359 on the Lenovo site). I have not installed it yet.
- use the Lenovo System Update to keep your drivers up-to-date.
- for info on how to use switchable graphics, search on the Lenovo site for MIGR-70495.
- for tips on setting battery parameters, http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=320082
Recommendations to Lenovo:
- don't ship poor quality keyboards. You have too much to lose, for the small manufacturing savings.
- don't pre-install trial versions of Office or McAfee. This should be an option and not be forced onto buyers.
- at least ship the HDD with a 40 GB C primary partition and the rest as D: partition. This would make it easier for users who are not technical.
- if you are going to include an integrated camera, provide software to use it. Currently, I have no way of taking a picture or making a video without acquiring other software. The technique described here
(http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67413) does not work !
- provide some software to reduce the speed of the DVD drive when watching movies. The noise at the default maximum speed is very annoying.

people complaining about problems installing an office over another office are (dare i say it) stupid. it makes absolutely no sense installing one over the trial version. just uninstall the trial and you'll be fine. every single time.
as for problem with uninstalling mcafee (or any other antivirus, for that matter, just download the uninstaller from the software company e.g. http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507 for mcafee.
that said i believe you get to choose if you want mcafee and/or office when you go through the inital boot, the "on-screen instructions"
you can slow down the odd via power manager

Initial setup and Open Directory problem

Hi,
I'm new to the MAC OS X server system and trying to get one up and running on a G5.
Unfortunately I can’t get the configuration up and running, and I have the feeling it already goes wrong during the initial setup. I was hoping you guys could help me out.
The purpose of the server is providing network user accounts (DNS + Open Dir.) and providing sharepoints.
I go trough following steps while installing from scratch:
- Install MAC OS X and run the Server install package from the OS X Server DVD (as you know, OSX Server is'n installing directly on G5)
- Choose keyboard layout, enter license and create an account "admin"
- Define static IP "192.168.1.1", add this IP as the first in the list of DNS Servers, add "company.local" in the search domain
- Install as a standalone server (so I can configure dns & other network services after basic setup)
- Check "network time server" (so time will be synced for Kerberos)
- Proceed, install and reboot
OSX Server seems to be installed fine and I can login with "admin". Next step I take is configuring DNS.
- create a zone "companyname.local.", use my IP as server address (192.168.1.1) and use "server" as the server name.
- add a machine record for DNS-testing (called "gateway", with the IP of "192.168.1.254")
Start the DNS service and reboot
- perform an nslookup with a second MAC with 192.168.1.1 as the nameserver and verify that DNS is resolving correctly.
DNS seems to be working fine, now I would like to get the Open Directory service to work:
- change "Standalone" to "Open directory master" in the server configuration panel
- provide a password for the directory admin
- use "SERVER.COMPANYNAME.LOCAL" as kerberos realm, and "dc=server,dc=companyname,dc=local" as the search base
- Save & start the service and perform a reboot to be sure all the new settings are in use
Unfortunately after this install open directory doesn't seem to work fine and also Kerberos doesn't start.
Concerning Kerberos: I get following output in the "Slapconfig log" Open Directory log file:
Starting LDAP server (slapd)
command: /usr/bin/ldapadd -c -x -D uid=root,cn=users,dc=maggie,dc=interesourcegroup,dc=local -w **
Hostname server.companyname.local is from Rendezvous
Skipping Kerberos configuration
Sorry to bother you with the entire walkthrough of the installation, but I have the feeling that I'm missing something while performing the basic install or DNS setup .. ?
Regards,
Seppe
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) /

We currently have a static IP and a public dns hosted
by MediaTemple, so I think I can create a subdomain
on MediaTemple and link it to our fixed IP address
("private.companyname.com" >> static ip) instead of
using dydns.. ?
Of course.
I suppose I can then use "private.companyname.com" as
the zone name on my G5 server and use
"server.private.companyname.com" for my local DNS?
Sounds reasonable.
If using this DNS, what will be the Kerberos REALM
and Search Base? And do I still need to specify
private.companyname.com as the Search Base in the
Network Settings of the clients and server?
Well, REALM and LDAP Search Base can set to whatever you like. On the other hand I've seen tools contacting kerberos servers break when the REALM is not part of the kerberos server fqdn.
So I'd stick with the usual recomandations and set kerberos REALM to your domain name (if there is no other kerberos server alread running and using this).
For the LDAP search domain I'd also follow the road of using domain name space as search base.
When dns will finally be setup properly, these setting will be autopopulated for you in the GUI. So test, test, test you dns with
host $ip and host $fqdn and then go on promoting "Standalone Server" to "Open Directory Master".

Initial setup of iMac's for business

I recently purchased several iMacs for our business to replace our old Dell desktops.
Since these are going to be work computer and not personal, what would be the best practice during initial setup and registration? Should I register them all up under my name? or is there a option to register under company profile? Along with that, how would each iMac be identified/named on the network?

I think there is even an option to skip registration altogether by pressing Command-Q.
As far as the network identification: On each Mac go to System Preferences and open Sharing. You will see an option for Computer Name. This is the name that will be visible on the network. It would be a good idea to make a spreadsheet in advance where you work out the naming convention for all workstations on your network, then enter the names you decide on into each Mac's Computer Name.
I agree it is a good idea to also set each Mac's hard drive name in a manner consistent with both the other workstations and each Mac's Computer Name, so that each machine and its drives are easy to identify when being browsed over the network in a list with the rest of the machines.
The Computer Name is the "entry point" for each Mac when someone browses your business's network. Logging in to a Computer Name then reveals the volumes shared by that Mac, including the boot drive and any additional hard drives inside the machine or attached externally, which is why consistent naming is important.
Getting the Computer Name right is also important because many other Mac sharing services are tied to it. If you set the Computer Name of a Mac to "receptionist", then people browsing the network will see services (if enabled) like
receptionist (in the Finder sidebar as a Mac with File Sharing/Screen Sharing on)
*receptionist's iTunes Library*
*receptionist's iPhoto Library*
*HP Printer@receptionist*
*Epson Fax@receptionist*
and so on.

PRO-1 failed initial setup

I purchased a PRO-1 this evening and started installing the printer.
I was very careful to follow each step, reading it twice and then performing it. I installed the ink tanks. Carefully removed the print head from the packaging, inserted it in the print head holder. The Joint Lever clicked closed without any fuss. Reassembled the Head Cover and closed the Top Cover.
The power light began flashing for a few moments, then the Yellow alarm light started flashing with the power light. I counted 10 flashes.
The instructions say to reseat the print head if the yellow light flashes. Nothing I do can get the print head back into position to reseat it. After an hour of frustration I power cycled it. This has obviously interupted the initial setup procedure and I'm not sure what to do at this point.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Canon's support solution is for me to return the printer to the store or take it to a repair shop 20 miles away.
I think I know what I'm going to do.
Very disappointed.

Setup with linux

How to I start-up my newly purchased IPAD2 if I have no Windows or Mac system? We're a Linux house, this is our first Apple product. I expected it to be like most systems and startup and be usable when powered on.

The update due tis fall will be more self sufficient, with online backup options an no need to connect to a computer to get it working. I suggest you take it to an Apple store. There should be a representative there that will be happy to help you go through the initial setup. They did this for me and I didn't have to ask for this service or pay extra for it either. Once you have it set up, you should be OK until this fall when you will need to take it back to an Apple store to get the iOS 5 update. You can alternatively find a friend running Windows or OSX. Once you have the update, all future updates will be directly to the iPad and delta updates.

New iChat hangs during initial setup, then crashes

I got the latest version of iChat (I can't find out the exact version because it's not included in the info). It asks me if I want to use jabber, and all that stuff, and I choose "no." Then it just hangs with the spinning beachball of death. I do a force-quit, delete the preference files, and start over. Then it gets through the initial setup process, and says "click OK to start using iChat AV." I click OK, and then it CRASHES! What's going on here?!?

Hi James,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You might want to try reinstalling the 10.4.2 Combo Updater before you go to all that work, especially if you updated to 10.4.2 with one click in Apple's Software Update on your Mac.
See How I Update My Mac OS X for more info.
Readers who do need to reinstall might find some useful suggestions at Reinstalling Mac OS X (Rarely Necessary).

Not ready to give up yet....Initial setup troubles:

Hello. I am attempting to add Time Machine to an existing wireless network. I have followed the directions for doing so, which included resetting Time Capsule's name to a short one (this has been reported to have been an issue in other posts), changing my password, pointing TC to my wireless network, and finally, the TC is supposed to restart. Upon TC restart, Airport Utility is unable to "'see" my TC anymore. I rescan, rescan, rescan, to no avail. (Mind you, my Airport is connected, so there is network connectivity.) I then tried unplugging TC, and plugging it back in. Still not visable. I then reset TC to default settings, and started over again. The same exact process, and the same exact results. No exaggeration, probably 15 attempts over two days.
I really like the concept of this device, and feel like if I can just discover the rosetta stone I need to get it going, I'll be really happy. I have also invested so much time in this already, I really don't want it to be in vain.
So, my friends, can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong or could be doing better. For your information, my goal is to set TC up as an "additional wireless device" on my existing wireless network. I understand that my initial backup should be done by ethernet. I plan on doing that. But I can't do that until I get this initial setup squared away. Thanks.

Hi Richard, I have not done the manoeuvre of primary backup via ethernet (I wish that I had, it took 5 hours but I cannot see that this would make any difference to your problem (I could be wrong of course) - The fact is that there is currently a MASSIVE bug with the Time Capsule Disk in that it will not auto-mount on the desktop - that is, you can't see it!
The quick fix is to open a finder window (Command - N) and select your Airport router in the left hand panel (under 'Shared') and in the adjacent right hand column select 'Time Capsule Disk' - it will then magically appear on the desktop!
Until Apple fixes this issue in their next system update, I have found that this is a simple-enough-for-me workaround which auto-mounts the Time Capsule Disk at login:
Go to Automator > custom action > Files & Folders. Next add/drag 'Get Specified Servers' from the centre column to the right hand column, then you click the 'Add..' button and then select your Time Capsule Disk server (whatever you have named it) in the window which opens and add it to the 'Get Specified Servers' window. Next you add/drag the 'Connect to Servers' function from the centre column to the right hand column - and that's it! Test the Automator app by clicking 'Run' and that should make your Time Capsule Disk appear on the desktop (you can eject it first by dragging it to the trash if it's already there). Finally save the Automator workflow as an application, then put it into your utilities folder and having done that you can then add this new utility application to your Login Items in System Preferences > Accounts so that when you start your Mac the Time Capsule Disk auto-mounts.
I hope that this info is appropriate and that I have not entirely misunderstood your issue (which is entirely possible :)) Best, Donald..

Logistic initial setup with delta going on
