Mobile Device Management solutions for K-8 school, where are the new iOS 7 features?

Hi all,
I work at a K-8 school and we are using Meraki by Cisco as our Mobile Device Management solution. This seems to be working just fine but with the release of iOS 7 we are trying to figure out how to use all of the new features included pertaining to MDM. We have about 300 iPad 2s deployed.
The teachers would love to be able to use free apps and, using Apple's VPP, paid apps. Right now we have to manually enter any redemption code into Meraki and then on each and every iPad log in using the Apple ID and password associated with the license purchased. I am aware, via several sources, that Apple now allows you to "silently" install apps. How can we do this? Anyone have any other tips to help in the deployment of the apps with the new iOS 7 features?
Thanks,
Scott

Found one on best buy
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+-+Grip+Neon+Glo+Case+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iP od%26%23174%3B+touch+5th+Generation+-+Pink/1331013.p?id=1219050712926&skuId=1331 013
by Belkin, so a place to start.
They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.

Patch management solution for Mac software?

Does anyone know of a solution to managing the update/patching of Mac software other than the Mac App Store for home users? I know there are enterprise solutions, but I am looking for something that is comparable to Secunia PSI.

That is not my experience with Secunia PSI. It is an excellent home utility for Windows systems to keep the latest security patches applied to more than just the Microsoft products. And by "more", I mean every product that I have ever loaded on a Windows computer.
I am happy that the Mac is not targeted often, but it is targeted. Fixing flaws quickly is important to minimizing the risk of vulnerabilities. Currently, the only product I am aware of that does this is Mackeeper, which the community here has derided because of the aggresive tactics that vendor takes to sell the product and the general sense that Macs dont need any utility software because of a few cleanup scripts that Apple runs automatically.
I dont agree with agressive sales, but I also do not agree that Macs have no need for security software
Macs are great computers, but they are not flawless systems. (http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search-results?query=mac_os_x) Maybe more products for the Mac will go to App store distribution, which will greatly simplify updates, but I am not holding my breath for all the applications that I use.

Is there a network management solution for adobe reader updates.

Hi
I'm looking for a program we can install on our update server to push adobe updates to +\- 300 users that don't have admin rights. Anyone know of any software that would do this?
Thanks,
Doug

Doug:
Since your options don't seem to be limited by pay vs. open source, you have a multitude of possible solutions. You could purchase the now outdated SMS 2003 product from Microsoft, or elect to go with their "latest and greatest" distribution management product SCCM. We have dabbled with another similar product here that shows promise: Altiris. An open source option that I ran across in my research is WPKG. I can not vouch for WPKG but it seems a viable solution. Keep in mind, with a paid product, you are paying for support as well as the software. If you elect to go with an open source option, support can be somewhat limited in scope.
I hope this helps?

Need photo cataloging/management solution for small business

Hi,
I'm about to be tasked with setting up a way to manage thousands of high res images coming in from various photo shoots for our upcoming projects. We are a Mac-based office, and have an Xserve as our local file/web server which we will install something on.
- Ideally it'd be something hosted locally from the Xserve so that it's easily updated via the file server. Easiest would be an app that helps import batches of new images, or has a folder where we can drop new batches directly. Online web services are not ideal as we'd like to house all the data locally.
- Could be software-based, ie if there's a package that has a server app we can install on the Xserve and run client apps on local machines to access, OR could be web-based, ie image gallery software I install on the Xserve, which we could access in or out of the office (external access would be most helpful). Web based may be the way to go.
- Main thing is that it's easy to browse and search thumbnails, view larger preview on screen, then download full size image when ready
- Ideally individual users would be all be able to tag/organize content
- Super extra bonus points if users can create their own lightbox/favorites to select images for a particular project, and save their settings etc.
- Simple, clean, easy to use interface would be excellent. We don't need something that does 1000 things, just the above things really well.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!

There used to be a good program that did just that: iView MediaPro (worked on a Mac). But Microsoft bought them in 2006, changed the name and upgraded the product, and I'm not sure if you can find a version that will do just that anymore.
They call it Microsoft Expression Media and they have several different flavor of it.
Here is a link to the iView MediaPro website that will refer you to the Microsoft site for Expression Media http://www.iview-multimedia.com/
Not sure if that will help you.

What is the recommended font management solution for an Enterprise deployment of Creative Cloud - Design edition (does not include TypeKit)?

We are deploying Creative Cloud across multiple systems today and it was under the assumption that TypeKit came with all versions. Most of our team has Design edition - no typekit. How do you recommend we manage the fonts? Have been using Suitcase Fusion prior to our upgrade.

Hi Jill,
I would like to inform you that Adobe Typekit is an online service which comes with named user deployment only. i would suggest to manage your licenses through Adobe enterprise dashboard which enables online services for users. Please visit the article below for more info.

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Best font management solution for CS6/InDesign?

I recently upgraded to CS6. (OS 10.6.8). I'm finding that InDesign is extremely slow and wondering if it might have to do with font management. I have a LOT of fonts on my machine. I was using Suitcase previously. Do I need to continue with that? I'd appreciate any advice about best practices for organizing fonts and/or suggestions for font management software.

Must say its Font Explorer Pro (FEP) for me! (MacPro OSX 10.6.8 Indesign Creative Suite 4, Indesign 5.5)
When I first started this job they had suitcase and I found that program really limiting. But I also had never used it before and knew very little about it.
FEP has many things that I like about it.
1. Although most people lean away from font auto activation the one that comes with FEP has been working real smooth, a few second delay when opening files while it starts what font is required.
2. Font Preview is amazing, select the fonts you want to compare with a typeface you have and you have transparent view and slide show.
3. Font Groups: Where you can put all fonts for particular jobs into smart sets.
4. Search files and discover which fonts where used inside that file and save that as a font set
5. There is also a server version of the program.
6. Application Sets: Really handy for auto activating fonts used only in certain programs.
7. Good Conflict control.
The list could possibly go on and on, in other words, love FEP and highly recommend it.

Mobile Management Solutions

I’m researching mobile device management solutions for my company. Out of the dozen or so I have looked at Zenprise and Air Watch are my favorite at this point. We are a small business and both of these companies offer a cloud based solution that should work for us. Does anyone have any experience with either of these companies? If you’re using their cloud solution I would like to know your thoughts.

We are really seriously looking at Airwatch. We don't have formal experience yet, but in our conversations with lots of people, all of them speak very highly of them. We've found they also do a good job of integrating with the VPP, seperating user and enterprise data and don't require an exchange mailbox for maintenance.

IPhone Enterprise Management solution??

Can you guys give me some of your experience with certain iphone management solutions for the iphone?? I'm trying to incorporate it with our enviornment we currently use exchange 2003....Thank you

Look at the industry analyst Gartner. They rank the industry mobile device management solution vendors. It'll quickly give you some idea of where to start looking. For iOS in particular I think AirWatch has the leading edge iOS support. Everyone in iOS Management is basically extending the same capabilities of the iPhone Configuration Utility wirelessly and centrally via their MDM platform. It's how each vendor implements those features and how they report on the data that makes each one different. In addition and depending on your companies requirements look for vendors who are doing things like secure browsers, GPS location services, wireless expense management data collection from iOS. Just my .02

The Help Link from the Application Pages Does not Work for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0

Hi everyone.
I have a problem, I have been trying to set up the Help Link from the Application Pages for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0 according to the instructions given in the Document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17566_01/epm91pbr0/eng/psbooks/EnablingtheHelpLinkfromApplicationPages.pdf , (referenced in the Doc ID 1289101.1, E-PB: How to Set Up the Context Sensitive Help with Hosted PeopleBooks using Universal Linking).
I follow the instructions of that document carefully:
I go to: PeopleTools -> Web Profile -> Web Profile Configuration
    2. Then I choose the Web Profile: "Development".
    3. Then Change the value for the Help URL field by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5 , the ctx parameter selected is the one that correspond to the Campus Solutions (hrcs90r5) according to the Product Line Code Table (ULinkID) especified in the mentioned document.
    4. Stop the Web Domain and Clear cache.
    5. Start the Web Domain again.
After setting up the Web Profile Configuration I test the help links, thas is why I click in the Help link in any Peoplesoft CS 9.0 Application Page (modify a person), but the next error message appears: "We're sorry, the topic you requested was not found.".
I tried many combinations with the ctx parameters URL but it does not work yet.
I did the same test, but this time using the Help URL field with a HRMS ctx parameter by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hcm92pbr5 , and It works fine !!!
According to the previous test you realize that It works with HRMS ctx parameter but not with Campus Solutions 9.0 ctx parameter, Does anybody know what else can I do ? Am I doing anything wrong or missing? or maybe the Oracle's ctx parameter for Campus Solutions URL It is broken simply.
Thanks for you help and feedback.

2799444 - The page you are testing with appears to be a Workforce Administration page. Is that correct?
The CS PeopleBooks would only work for CS pages, e.g.: try navigating to Main Menu > Campus Community > Personal Information > Add/Update a Person
Also, you can use multiple ctx parameters:
E.g.: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5&ctx=hcm92pbr5&ctx=pt852pbh2
This way the help would work for the HR related pages like Workforce Administration, Campus Solutions pages like Campus Community and also PeopleTools pages like Web Profile Configuration. Hope this clarifies your question. Thanks!

How to find solution for avoiding WARNING J2EE SECUR-00100 ********** user-manager (see application/server descriptors) will no longer be supported in the next release of this product

2014-01-10 01:01:29.833 WARNING J2EE SECUR-00100 ********** user-manager (see application/server descriptors) will no longer be supported in the next release
of this product!

I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

Does anyone know of a good digital asset management software solution for cataloging InDesign files?

Hi all,
I am coming to this forum with this question because this amazing community of design professionals has helped me SO MUCH over the past few years...so I come to you for help once again as I search for a digital asset management solution that will also catalog InDesign files. I first used to use Canto Cumulus many years back, and then used Portfolio Standalone but both of those had their issues and are now discontinued. I am now looking for something else. It is for my small business and needs to handle all of my InDesign files and all associated artwork (I have a HUGE library of files....this also includes all of my image files, pdfs, etc.).
Extensis Portfolio Server is just WAY overkill and WAY too expensive for what I need. Also, the cheapest option (which is $1,999) only handles "thousands of files" whereas I have tens of thousands. I am also not interested in storing my "asset catalog" within the cloud...I just want it stored locally.
Please please can someone help point me in the right direction? I have been scratching my head searching for something...there is SO MUCH out there...the majority of which won't properly handle InDesign files as well, which is a NECESSITY.
Thank you so much as always,
Christine

Purple_Jim, for some reason I just lost my new reply, so am writing again:)
I just checked out the program and one CAN easily update the database when changes are made to the volume(s) as files are added/removed/renamed/moved, etc. This is GREAT!! I am busy trying it out and it is WONDERFUL and EXACTLY what I need! And it is SO SPEEDY too...I LOVE it!
I just had to contact their support tho' as it doesn't seem to want to add in all of the images. It APPEARS to be adding them but not all of the folders are showing up. If I can get this issue sorted out then this program would be IDEAL:) It's great to know that you haven't had any issues:) That gives me hope as this program looks PERFECT!!
Thank you so so much for letting me know about it:)
**UPDATE**
In CASE you can shed any light on my issue...
I just did some more testing and it seems that the problem occurs if/after I hit “STOP” when the volume is being scanned. Once I try to update the volume after that so that I can continue adding images, then it seems that nothing is added to the directory in Tri_CATALOG after the point when I chose to hit “STOP”.
It does not seem to be cataloging everything:( I just tried adding a new volume but it appears to have stopped adding images to the database even tho’ it SEEMS as if new items are still being added in the “Scan Volume window”.
Here is an example: The image below labeled “469-00625” appears to have been added to the “Clients/Ascot Supply Corp./Buyer’s Guide/2014 Buyer’s Guide/Archive/z_buyer’s guide image library_jpg/06_valve hardware/JPEG” folder but when I do a search for the image it cannot be located, and this folder also does not appear in the catalog directory (second screenshot below). No matter how many times I try to update the volume, the number of images for the “Clients” folder below remains at 811 pictures (as if it has stopped scanning, even tho’ new ones are still being added) and I am not able to add anything else. The Tri_CATALOG database appears to have stopped adding images after the “2011 Buyer’s Guide” folder below even tho’ there are still several new folders still need to be added….see third screenshot for ACTUAL directory on the volume.
From Tri_CATALOG: (Won’t add anything else below “2011 Buyer’s Guide"
Screenshot of ACTUAL directory from volume I am trying to scan into Tri_CATALOG:

EP 7 systems in Solution Manager 7 for EWA activation

Dear Expert,
Greetings from Partha.
I need to include our EP 7 systems in Solution Manager 7 for EWA activation. Current lanscape scenario
Solution Manger 7.00 Installed
EP 7.00 Installed
No central SLD configured and all the system have local SLD.
1. As per the installtion guide & SAP notes we need to install
a> SM Diagnostics Agent & Wilo Introscope in Solution Manager (manging system).
b> Diagnostics Agent in every manged system(s).
For managing system we can download Diagnostics Agent installation DVDs from SAP Service Marketplace
at: http://service.sap.com/swdc --> Download --> SAP Support Packages --> Entry by Application Group
--> SAP Technology Components --> SAP SOLUTION MANAGER --> SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0
--> Entry by Component --> Agents for Managed systems --> DIAGNOSTICS AGENT 7.11
--> <choose operating system of managed>
Our Solution Manager 7 is already installed and @SPS 17. My question is
1. Can we use the same file for SMD installtion in Solution Manger or we need to download it from some other area ?
If it is different then kindly let me know what are the DVDs to be downloaded and from where?
2. In our Managed System SMD installtion we have decided for
--> Installation Strategy as Direct Solution Manager Registration
But what strategy we should take for SMD installation on Sol Man 7 that is
Local SLD (wrt Sol Man) Registration or Direct Solution Manager Registration
3. What is the need for the SAP Host Agent Installattion ? Is it mandatory ?
Help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Partha

Check the pdf attached in note 1234387 - Inst. 7.1 EhP1 - Diagnostics Agent installation
If you have SP17, you must follow note 1357812 and install Diagnostics Agent 7.01 SR1
2. In our Managed System SMD installtion we have decided for
--> Installation Strategy as Direct Solution Manager Registration
But what strategy we should take for SMD installation on Sol Man 7 that is
Local SLD (wrt Sol Man) Registration or Direct Solution Manager Registration
It doesn't matter what strategy you'll decide. You could decide Direct Solution Manager registration
3. What is the need for the SAP Host Agent Installattion ? Is it mandatory ?
As you have solution Manager SP17, you can't install Saphostagent 7.11 and for this reason you can't use SAphostagent.
Agent 7.01 => No Saphostagent
Agent 7.11 => Must install saphostagent
Agent 7.20 => Already have SAPhostagent installed
