Mac Server Training for Mac OS X Server Essentials Exam

I am thinking of sitting this exam and was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent book. Which book do they use for the course? I looked for the Peachpit book but couldn't find it.
Thanks.

If you click on the Peachpit Press page here:
http://www.apple.com/software/pro/training/self_paced.html
You'll see the book you are looking for. This book is very similar to the one used in the class, and is a great way to prepare for the exam.
Also, I was impressed with the Mac OS X Server module offered by http://www.lynda.com/
Hope that helps,

Check this thread where people have already given their suggestion on learning SSIS

I would suggest to go for You tube videos (type learn SSIS or begin SSIS step by step) you will get lot of good tutorials to start with.
Happy Learning!!

Reference book? Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials

Can anybody comment on this book by Peachpit press?
Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials, 2nd Edition
I am looking to get a decent reference book for the workings of 10.5. I'm not looking to get Apple certified, but would like to be able to troubleshoot and learn about the OS.
Are there any other books I should be considering?
Thanks in advance.

I spent some time at Borders last night and ended up buying Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Support Essentials, 2nd Edition.
The Missing Manual looked like a great book, but I wanted something that had more depth of what is going on behind the scenes. Most of what is covered in the missing manual are front-end stuff like all of the apps, finder, dock, etc. There is one small section on unix which barely scratches the surface.
I liked the support essentials book because it goes in to details on administration including troubleshooting, start-up sequences, networking, etc.
Thank you for the recommendation.

Best practices for upgrading Windows Server Essentials 2012 to R2?

Hi,
I need to upgrade my Windows Server Essentials 2012 on an HP microserver to Essentials R2 (specifically the R2 role on Standard rather than as a VM). After a reasonable amount of searching, I haven't found anything online that specifically addresses this in-place
upgrade scenario. Since this is already an Essentials server, it's the PDC in its own domain, etc. Has anyone that's done this upgrade have any experiences or warnings to share?
Thanks,
Sean

Hello there,
There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2. R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build. Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server. This will require additional hardware. You
can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from, restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2.

Server Essentials for 30 users

Looking to update a clients server from Windows Small Business 2008 Server to something more modern. We just migrated to Office 365 and I was looking at Windows server Essentials but they have 30 users which may go as high as 35, but I can't see it going
beyond that. Is there a way to use Essentials or do we have to get Standard?

This one may help.

Server Install: "Can't install Server Essentials"

We just purchased a brand new Mac Pro to use as a server, however the Server app refuses to install. The app was purchased directly from the app store, and when I run the installer I get the error "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
I read in another thread that this was solved by creating a new network location and removing the old one. This solution did not work for me. I've tried connecting via both wifi and ethernet and neither solved it (there is also no firewall, so the domain isnt blocked or anything- the app store and software update both seem to work fine).
I also read that you need to install server on 10.7.0 or it won't work. Well, that is completely unnacceptable since the Mac Pro came with 10.7.3 preinstalled, and the recovery partition will only install the most recent version. The direct links to the ServerEssentials.pkg are also dead, so that solution is out. Any ideas?

Same problem. Just redeemed my Apple Developer code. I'd also like access to the actual .DMG or .PKG files for the install but it seems that the AppStore revoked that capability and the old methods to access those files no longer work. Come on guys...

Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server?

Hi Guys,
I have just purchased Mac OS X Lion Server. When I launch the Server App I am told I need to download additional software but once the App attempts to do so I get this message "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server".
I looked around on the internet and I found a few vague comments stating I may need to insert commands into the Terminal. Can anybody help me please?

Had the same message myelf but it is there. Somebody posted a link to it, will see if I can find it......
Thought so, Karlegas found it.

Training for BPC

Hello Fellows,
I am a sales consultant positioning BPC at many places, furthermore, I am also planning to get training for BPC. I am pretty confused at the moment with the following queries in mind:
Is BPC a technical (programming type) side of SAP?
Does one have to have a strong technical background?
To what extent does BPC differ from BOBJ?
What would be a more reliable side of choice, BPC or BOBJ?
I would be heartily grateful if someone could come out of the shadow and shed some light on the aforementioned queries. Furthermore, it would be really helpful if someone could share few brochures about BPC.

Hi Nauman,
BPC it's a sw normally used for consolidation, planning, budgeting and cost allocation.
First of all there are 2 different versions, MS based on MS SQL server (i.e. also stored procedures, dtsx packages etc.) and NW integrated in Netweaver platform (connected with BW) without stor. proc. dtsx, but with badi functions.
Is BPC a technical (programming type) side of SAP?
yes you have funtions, components, etc to connect your excel report or input schedules with a database and also logic script, MDX, badi, etc.
Does one have to have a strong technical background?
if you want to build a new project then yes, if you want only create or change some reports then no.
To what extent does BPC differ from BOBJ?
sorry I don't know BO but as I know this is just useful for reports probably powerful then bpc so if you want you can integrate it when you create some special reports.
What would be a more reliable side of choice, BPC or BOBJ?
probably if you work with BPC could be better to study it but it's more difficult then BOBJ, you need more time to know it.
I would be heartily grateful if someone could come out of the shadow and shed some light on the aforementioned queries. Furthermore, it would be really helpful if someone could share few brochures about BPC.
first of all if you decide to study BPC you can see the modules you need for a SAP certification

I need to do sap sd certification ,training for same is very costly from authorised center and i canot afford ,the other way is i do training from unauthorised center and take certification exam in any country where prerequisite is not doing training

i need to do sap sd certification ,training for same is very costly from authorised center and i canot afford ,the other way is i do training from unauthorised center and take certification exam in any country where prerequisite is not doing training from authorised center.how good it it to do prepare from unauthorised center and take exam in any country like australia ,US ?please help understand .

Hi Preeti,
please first understand the difference between a subject (your header) and its body line, please never write so long subject matter.
Now coming to your queries , what you thinks being at Australia or US is free of Cost. The first thing is that i don't understand your mission for taking Certifications, Are you a working proffesional because for more than 2 yrs. of working experience, you don't need any training , you can take direct examinations.
And if you are not a working professional, i don't thing taking any certification will serve any purpose in your job hunt, although it will enrich your Resume only, you will nothing get out of this from just taking a vertification
So, please tell us that you are a fresher or having real time working exposure in SAP SD module, then any one will guide you well.

Hi boe_d,
Based on your description, did you mean that this error was occurred in process of installing the Windows Server

If it is, have you re-tried the role installation? Please check if still go to 3% and then get the same error

Issue with re-connecting a Client Computer to the Server Essentials R2 2012

I have an issue re-connecting a Client Computer to Server Essentials R2 2012. The Client Computer in question was connected to the Sever originally. I started getting Error Messages indicating that I was running out of storage room. I
had been wanting to re-configure this Server with additional Hard Drives for some time, but something else always came up first. Now, I was forced to address the problem. I shut down the Server and added additional Hard Drives and while I was at
it I replaced the original Hard Drive that the Server Operating System was on with a much smaller Hard Drive, and reinstalled Server Essentials on that Drive. Everything was working fine and the Server Back-up went fine to an external Hard Drive.
I was ready to re-install my Client Computers. I started with my primary Production Computer first. The Connector Software seemed to install fine, but as I moved through the Connection Wizard I received the following Error Message: "Cannot
connect this computer to the network. This computer is already connected to another Windows Server Network. Before connecting this computer to the Windows Server Essentials network, you must remove this computer from the current network.
To resolve this issue, contact the person responsible for your network". I am the Administrator. I removed the Connector Software following the instructions in the "Troubleshooting connecting computers to the Server", but I continue
to get the Error Message whenever I attempt to re-connect the Client Computer. I have not attempted to connect any of the other three Client Computers yet as I need to resolve this issue first on my primary production machine. Where am I going
wrong? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi PARADOX-RED,
Based on the error messages that you provided, please remove the connector software from Control Panel completely. Then, in the problematic computer, please locate
to: Control Panel-> System-> select Change settings. And select the Computer Name tab in the System Properties dialog box, click
change button. Then in the Computer Name/Domain Changes dialog box, please take the computer out of the domain as a workgroup, and rejoin in new domain.
Please check if this issue can be solved. If it still exists, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Remote video streaming not working with Windows Server Essentials Media Pack

I installed Server Essentials Media Pack and the video streaming via remote access does not seem to be working. I see all the video files on the server's remotewebaccess page in "Media Library" group. When I try to play the video in Chrome
the player appears for a brief moment, but then the browser starts downloading the entire file. With Internet Explorer the empty browser window opens and the download starts. I am trying it while outside of my local network. The video streaming used to work
with Server 2012 Esesentials. Am I missing some additional codecs or remote streaming is no longer supported?

Hi,
What’s the default player for these media files on your computer? The issue may be caused by the default player could not load the media file correctly. Please make sure Windows Media Player
with full codec installed is the default one. And then check if the media streaming feature could work as normal. Here is an article about how to configure the media streaming feature, hope it helps.
