Manage 6 ap's with with one server

I currently have 6 1200 series ap's and Im using MAC Authentication to allow connection to the Wireless. Everything is working fine but every time I need to enter in the MAC address for that client I have to add it on every AP. This is very time consuming so Im wondering what I should use so I only have to enter in the MAC Address once. Ive been told that I can use ACS but what I heard is it doesnt allow MAC Authentication. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can manage all 6aps and only have to enter in the MAC Address once? Thanks in advance for your help.

ACS does do MAC authentication. Use the MAC as user and password (there is a specific format for entering the digits though).
You probably know this already, or have been told,BUT: MAC authentication is about the lowest, least secure form of authentication on the list.
It takes almost a full minute (for Windows, less for *nix) to break into a MAC auth system.
Good Luck
Scott

Operations Manager fails to communicate with DCR server

After a recent restart of the Operations Manager server we found it is no longer able to manage devices. When attempting to open a applet that depends on DCR connection I receive an error " Error in communicating with DCR Server. DCR Server may be down. Please start the DCR Server and refresh the page." I have attached the DCR logs and pdshow from the server. Has anyone experienced this issue, and if so, how can I correct it. Any help would be appreciated.

I am constantly seeing this error at multiple sites on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 Standard and DataCenter.
I have counted over 50 different server I manage with services such as domain controller, hyper-v, file servers, exchange 2013, SQL 2008/2012, and print servers.
I have seen it happen on machine that have been in production for over 2 years and to machines that were just created last week.
It is happening on metal, hyper-v and esx vmware servers.
It is happening when the machine have updates waiting or no updates, or after updates have been applied and awaiting a restart.
It is happening on Dell PowerEdge server, HP Proliant servers and IBM servers.
It is happening on servers with Intel and AMD chip-sets.
It is happening on machines that are a part of a domain or in a workgroup.
It is happening on machines with AV of Bitdefendor, Trend Micro, Vipre, Microsoft Endpoint, and Symantec Endpoint.
Only a restart will fix it.
I have ran process monitor on several of the problem machines and I cannot find anything.
Since I have only started seeing this about 6 month ago it must be a Windows update causing it.

Multiple email address with one server account

Why can't Mail have multiple email addresses on one email account? Like Thunderbird calls them Identities. As I remember, Outlook also supports this. I like Mail but it seems rather dated and clunky in this respect.
I am using mainly IMAP so maybe I should switch to Thunderbird but I do still have some old messages in pop accounts in Mail.

You can have multiple accounts, but only one "identity." Configure new mail accounts for all the different email addresses you may have. They can each have different configurations, different servers, etc. as well as be individually made active or inactive. All incoming mail will funnel into a single Inbox, but you can use rules to transfer incoming mail to separate mailboxes based on the account.
What you cannot have are distinct "personalities."
Bear in mind that Mail is intended for a single user and the vast number of single users only have one email account. I actually have four different email addresses but three of them are set to forward mail to the account I use with Mail. Mail works quite well with IMAP, POP, and Outlook mail accounts.

Is Citrix required for Global implementation with one server/instance?

Hi,
We are working on a global implementation of ECC ver 6.0 on a single server and I would like some insight on whether we need Citrix for that or SAP GUI would be good enough. Would I suffer any large latency and security issues if we dont use Citrix?
Thanks,
Sourav

> We are working on a global implementation of ECC ver 6.0 on a single server and I would like some insight on whether we need Citrix for that or SAP GUI would be good enough. Would I suffer any large latency and security issues if we dont use Citrix?
I'd say vice versa:
Citrix sends "full screens" over the network, if you have the local SAPGUI installations and just connect remotely you can run more users over the same line - with the price of maintaining the SAPGUI installations locally.

How to manage different instrument models with one driver?

Hi,
I have a driver already developed for an instrument and want to incorporate another model into it. These instruments have the nearly the same instruction set except one is a subset of the other. I would like to know the standard way or the NI way of combining these drivers. Is there a way of storing global data? I'm using LabView 6.0.
Thanks in advance.

There are various techniques used when creating a driver that supports multiple models or models with different installed options, where there are slight functional differences between the models and options.
If there are VIs that only pertain to a specific model or option, then modify the VI prefix to associate that VI with the particular model/option. For example, a function general family driver might use "ag33xxx" as the general prefix, but VIs that only operate on the ag33250 might use the prefix "ag33250".
It sounds as if you need to remember this model/option to modify functionality within a common VI. For example, the commands might differ between two different models. To handle this situation, you store model information in the User Data V
ISA property. At initialization time, you can detect which model you are connected with and either store the model number directly or some ID to represent the model.
Both these techniques are used in the Agilent 33xxx function generator driver . You will see how User Data is set in the Initialize VI and the retrieved in the Configure Burst Modulation VI.

Load multiple views in one server call

Hello,
We are developing SAPUI5 application with Master & Detail page pattern. On detail page, we have 7 tabs so to make it more manageable we have created 7 different views, one for each tab instead of writing all the code in one view. And one extra view which hold the tab and 7 views.
Now code is easy to maintain as we can go to specific view and do the changes instead of searching in one big view. But there is a new problem now, it take lot of time to load the detail section. It makes separate server call to load each view. Earlier it was loading detail section with one server round trip but now it is making 8 server round trips ( one for every view ).
So the question is, is there any way to load multiple views in single server trip?
Regards,
Vikram

You can do so but then at the time of defining the viewset you need to ensure the rowspan and colspan correctly to fit the first and the second view. More over the configuration also needs to be maintained correctly.

Harshit

How do I set up my Time Machine and Mac Mini with Lion Server so i have one wifi loop in the house?

HELP!
So I have had a Time Machine wifi loop at the house for approx. 6 years. I run two Macbooks, 2 iPhones, 2 iTouch and a Samsung Smart Blueray on the loop.
I just bought a Mac Mini with Lion Server. When setting it up I'm not sure what or how I managed to do, but I now have 2 wifi loops, one doesn't lock and niether will support the Samsung BlueRay. Also, each time I want to go online with one of the other Mac devices i have to relog into the wifi loop.
Can someone please walk me through the fix. The mac Mini is plugged straight into the Time Machine to recevie its internet connection.
Thanks!
John

You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
(Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.

Error in communicating with DCR server (Operations Manager 8.5)

Hi,
I just installed Operations Manager 8.5 on a new server. And, although I'm able to login to the OM, I'm unable to add any devices to the DCR. When attempting to add the device the following error is returned:
"Error in communicating with DCR Server
DCR Server may be down. Please start DCR server and then refresh the page. "
The same error is returned when an attempt is made toaccess the screen to change the mode (standalone/master/slave.) However, according to pdshow output DCRServer is up and running:
Process= DCRServer
State = Running normally
Pid    = 9220
RC     = 0
Signo = 0
Start = 7/29/2011 2:46:33 PM
Stop   = Not applicable
Core   = Not applicable
Info   = DCRServer is up and running
I've browsed the site and tried all suggestions for LMS since I didn't see any for OM. No success.
Any/all suggestions are much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Bart

It appears the answer is rather simple. According to a trusted source who works for a Cisco training partner, one must wait before even attempting a login into OM.
Apparently, it takes about 25 to 30 minutes for all the services to start. Any attempt to login to the OM may corrupt the database. This is based on CiscoWorks. When command "net stop crmdmgtd" is issued it takes about 5 minutes to stop the service and a confirmaiton that the service was stopped is displayed. However, when starting the service with "net start crmdmgtd" there is no confirmation that it started successfully. One may look into ":\ program Files\CSCOpx\objects\dmgt\ready" directory for a _lock file." As long as the lock file is present one shouldn't use the browser to login. However, I was advised the best approach is to restart the service and give it 30 minutes.
It worked for me
Kind regards,
Bart.

Managing 10.4 clients with 10.5 Server

Before I jump in....any feedback on managing 10.4 clients with 10.5 server (will post the vice-versa in the 10.4 server forum) from those who are doing it currently?
Thanks,
k

I checked out the link you mentioned. It's really dealing w/ managing the client. I'm have weird issues w/ clients logging in. Today I had a grade level try to log in. Ten of the computers would let that grade level in, two would not. Of the Ten computers approx 5 wouldn't let them log in the first time, but once they were restarted they were able to log in. All of the computers are on a wired network as well as a wireless backup. Of the two that would not let them login I had just restored one and set the settings up the same as the others.
I'll be damned, this is the weirdest I have had with Apple client management.

Simple file server accessible remotely with managed access. Do I need ML Server for this?

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini that will be dedicated to serving 15 folders of documents to 7 people. It would be great if each person had their own password and I'd like to be able to decide what folders each user will have access to. The people need to be able to access the files from home and on the office network.
Do I NEED to run OS X server for this Or can i accomplish this in OS X?
I have to get this running quickly and I may not have time for the ML Server learning curve (even though it has been simplified).
I tried to get ML server running on my machine a few weeks ago but got stuck. If setting up ML server with JUST the file server is dramatically easier I will try again. Can anyone please suggest a tutorial that takes me through simply setting up a remotely accessible file server with managed access with ML Server?

OS X client can serve files to remote clients, via both SMB/CIFS and AFS; via the Windows and OS X fiel services. That's cheap, uses hardware you already have, and works fine.
Most NAS boxes don't do distributed authentication. Typically, you have credentials for the box at most. Some of the mid- and upper-end boxes do offer distributed authentication, but that means having that authentication around. At the low end, an Apple Time Capsule is a reasonable NAS box, and you can add an external disk. And can be used for backups via Time Machine, too. The mid- and upper-end boxes from Synology have a reputation for capabilities and flexibility. There are (many) other vendors.
I'm not a huge fan of LogMeIn for various reasons that I won't get into here, but that service does work for accessing hosts. I don't know if that allows access to NAS directly, but I'd tend to doubt it. You'd need to check with both LogMeIn and with the specs for whatever NAS box you're using.
Given the choice, I'd use a VPN.
Using a VPN does mean you can control — at the VPN level — who can access your private network, so that can provide a broad-brush form of access control to your NAS device or your OS X client or your OS X Server box, if you go that route.
I don't prefer to openly serve files to the internet, as the underlying protocols have occasionally had security issues and vulnerabilities, and the internet gremlins will find and will poke at any open ports and any accessible file servers. I prefer to configure these services via VPN.
VPNs are also more involved to set up, where LogMeIn can be simple.
As mentioned previously, I'm also not a huge fan of the host-based VPN servers in OS X, though those do work. The gateway boxes I've been using in the last year or so are probably not a good choice for a user that isn't familiar with networking — the boxes provide a user interface that very definitely expect the user to understand IP and routing and related, but is both self-consistent and quite powerful — and they're cheap for what they can do, and they do work nicely. ZyXEL ZyWALL USG series. If you are evaluating any of these firewall boxes, then I'd definitely encourage downloading the manuals and making sure you can understand the available information. The server-grade firewall boxes are almost inherently flexible and thus complex devices.
One of the easiest ways is to work with somebody that does this sort of thing to sort through the options and requirements and trade-offs available here, and potentially to set up your VPN or NAS or server configuration for you. (Disclosure: I offer this.)

How to use quota on a desktop folder for all users with File Server Resource Manager.

Hi there,
I'd like to know if there is a posibility to use variables in the path with File Server Resource Manager if you want to set the quota.
The path I'd like to use is d:\home\%username%\desktop.
Like to hear from you all if there is a solution or workaround for this one :)
Thanks for your time.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Displays Error With "New Query" and Intellisense Works Intermittenly

I was upgrade to SQL Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 was upgraded with SP1 the same day.  This is x64 machine.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio      11.0.2100.60
Microsoft .NET Framework      4.0.30319.261
Operating System      6.1.7601
Problem 1) With SQL Server Management Studio, selecting "New Query" a warning box is displayed: "The 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.VisualStudioIntegration2010Package, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.VisualStudioIntegration2010,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=netutral, PublicKeyToken=null' package did not load correctly.    The problem mayhave been cuased by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by running the
application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file ...\AppDate\Roaming\Microsoft\AppEnv\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'. Continue to show this error message?
Problem 2) In a Query Initellisense works intermittently but most of the time it will not display anything. I have tried Edit|Intellisense|Refresh Cach size and also seperately, Edit | Intellisense | List Members but neither has helped. Also
tried different selections for Tools|options| T-SQL | Intellisense| Maximum Script Size; no luck either.

Hi WallyJim,
For your first problem, possible workaround:
In Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs), right click the Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 Optional Update 1 program and select change. Remove the VisualStudio2010 integration.
Then, install the EnterpriseLibrary Configuration extension from Microsoft via the Extension Manager in VS2010. This will allow you to launch the configuration editor from VS2010, but will not be installed for SSMS.
For more information, please refer to
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/620532/error-message-on-new-query-window-opening.
For your second problem, the following conditions might affect the behavior of IntelliSense:
There is a code error above the cursor.
The insertion point is inside a code comment.
The insertion point is inside a string literal.
The automatic options are turned off.
For more information, refer to Troubleshooting IntelliSense (SQL Server Management Studio):
