Managing Internet clients with non unique names

I've got a wee complication which revolves around the fact the majority clients I am looking to deploy to are workgroup clients which have non-unique netbios/short names.
So when trying to manage said clients when looking at the Assets / Devices tab they for all intensive purposes appear identical - until I look at the properties of each item and look at the Resource Name - which will show the FQDN fo said machine.
If I was able to select Resource name as a viewable field in the view this would fix my problem. Unfortunately all machines currently have the same Workgroup set so just displaying the "Domain" field will not suffice.
Has anyone run into this issue and what can be done to work around it short of renaming all my intended clients? I've seen mention of creating your own Console custom nodes however this looks rather hairy.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Also, I don't think that it will really help you, because the Devices
node is build on the SMS_CombinedDeviceResources class and that WMI class simply doesn't contain the
Resource Name property.
In this case it would mean creating a whole new node in the console. Probably using a Query, or Report is the most simple and best workaround.

Testing BPEL Processes with non-unique activity names

Hello,
I intend to use Oracles BPEL Test Framework for testing a set of BPEL workflows. I created a test suite for one process but during the deployment of the test suite i got the message:
[Error ORABPEL-20043]: Non-unique activity name.
In the workflow set are a lot of activties with equal names, at least 100, so renaming is not an option. Is there any possibilty to use the Test Framework nevertheless?
Thanks for your answers.

Here the answer from Oracle:
Even if there is little documentation surrounding the need to have unique activity names, this issue will be treated
as an enhancement from Development point of view.
Therefore, I was asked to create an Enhancement Request, so that this will be considered for
implementation in a future release.
It's not a bug, it's a feature...

Count checkboxes with 500+ unique names

The form I am using a simple checklist, that was generated in Word and converted to a form in Acrobat, which is why it has so many unique field names.
I found the following solution but I am looking for something more elegant and that doesn't require me to enter each unique name.
I added the following script to the document level function :
function CountCheckBoxes(aFieldNames) {
// count field names that have been selected
var count = 0;
var cField = "";
// loop through array of field names
for(i = 0; i < aFieldNames.length; i++) {
// for field names with a value of not Off increment counter
if(this.getField(aFieldNames[i]).value != "Off") count++;
} // end loop of field names
// return count
return count;
} // end CountCheckBoxes
I also added text field with the following custom calculation script:
// var define field names to be tested
var aFields = new Array('uniquename', 'anothername...etc');
// count field names that have been selected
event.value = CountCheckBoxes(aFields);
In order to quickly add 500+ field names, I use a temporary field to grab all the field value by using Pick under Calculate sum. I then cut and paste them into notepad and replace the
with
then a copy the full text into the above code replacing 'uniquename', 'anothername...etc'
It works but it is lengthy and I hoping a code guru might have a smarter solution.

That's the former, not the latter...
Anyway, you can use this code, then:
var totalCheckboxes = 0;
var totalChecked = 0;
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f==null) continue;
    if (f.type=="checkbox") {
        totalCheckboxes++;
        if (f.value!="Off") {
            totalChecked++;
At the end totalCheckBoxes will contain the total number of check-boxes in the file, and totalChecked the number of the checked boxes out of them.

Sending mail from servers with non-ASCII names

As part of an effort to internationalize our product we're testing on machines with host names that include non-ASCII characters (accented e's and whatnot). When trying to send mail from these machines we're getting:
javax.mail.MessagingException: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueCommand(SMTPTransport.java:1634)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.helo(SMTPTransport.java:1068)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:458)

at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:190)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:120)
at msgsendsample.main(msgsendsample.java:86)
Looking at a network trace I see the EHLO command being sent as
EHLO test[0xe9][0xdf]\r\n
where the machine name is testéß. From a Unicode table 0xe9 0xdf = é ß.
I found a reference from RFC 5336 (SMTP Extension for Internationalized Email Addresses) that says the hostname in the EHLO must be in the form of ACE (ASCII-compatible encoding) labels:
3.7.1. The Initial SMTP Exchange
When an SMTP connection is opened, the server normally sends a
"greeting" response consisting of the 220 response code and some
information. The client then sends the EHLO command. Since the
client cannot know whether the server supports UTF8SMTP until after
it receives the response from EHLO, any domain names that appear in
this dialogue, or in responses to EHLO, MUST be in the hostname form,
i.e., internationalized ones MUST be in the form of ACE labels.
ACE encoding for my machine would be: java.net.IDN.toASCII("test4éß") --> "xn--testss-eva".
I'm not sure if this RFC applies in this case - I didn't know anything about the guts of SMTP until yesterday - but it makes sense that you'd need to escape the hostname in the EHLO until you can negotiate capabilities.
Looking at the JavaMail API it seems that if I were to call SMTPTransport.helo(String domain) myself without going through the higher-level Transport class that maybe I could work around the issue, but I haven't looked into it enough to know if that's feasible.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? I'm using JavaMail 1.4.2 on Windows 2003 and Exchange as my SMTP server.
thanks,
Eric

Same problem here (or at least in part). Some .mac folders did no longer show any messages, while they were there and could be seen online and with Thunderbird. After your remark I changed the name of a folder which contained a "´" and now it works. It is really strange because there is another folder with a "¨" in it which does not work (I will test if the name change works with this folder as well in a minute) whilst there is another one with such name which works fine. The update really messed up Mail and in Dutch we just use such characters so Mail without supporting them will be rather useless for me...

Mail IMAP after 10.5.2 can't read ANY mails in boxes with non-ascii names

I have Mail with IMAP that connects to a regular MAC OS X Tiger server running IMAP.
After upgrading to 10.5.2 on the client, Mail can no longer read ANY mails at all in any mailbox whose path contains a non-ascii character!
Hence: If a box is called 'Övrigt', it only lists the mails in the mail box, but it will not show any of the contents of any of the mails! Hence, I cannot access any of these mails! Catastrophic!
I have to downgrade to 10.5.1, unless someone knows of a workaround.

Multiple AD with same unique name

Our requirement is configure 2 AD servers with GRC ( version 10). But the tricky part is around 300 users in both the domians are same. ef.
Domain \ User name
NBC \ test
PBS \ test
Now I have to integrate these 2 domains in ABAP. My problem is once I hook NBC AD it will create test and if I hook up PBS it will not create test. But I need that too. (may be I want pass say test1 instead of test) Can this be doable? How?
Kedar

Our requirement is...
Yep, had this requirement as well.
All these various user name collisions and worse is different IDs for the same person can be solved relatively easily by IdM.
But best practice is still to remove the collisions and use unique IDs. Same goes for deleting users (dont do it).
Good luck.

Root Bridge+Clients with Non-Root Bridge+Clients Howto?

Hi, i have two 1242AG access points. I would like to setup a bridge between the two to bridge ethernet lan segments, furthermore i would like to be able to connect wireless clients to either of the access points so i can get maximum range.
I did what i thought was correct, created the first access point a 'root bridge with wireless clients', and assigned the ssid.
I set the second access point to 'non-root bridge with wireless clients' amd set the same ssid as the first access point.
I cant even get the root bridge to work, i turn it on, it brings the radio interface up but i cannot connect with my wireless clients, infact i cannot even see the SSID!
Do i need to 'Set Single Guest Mode SSID' for the radios? What does that command do?
Any ideas? A link to config example would be much apreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi, first, thanks for the help.
Second, this incompatibility is only valid
for RFC1042 or it is valid for 802.11g?
Third, If I configure my 1242 as Acess Point, and the 340 series as Client or Brigde_only, they should not talk too?
Sorry for the bad english...

File upload with non-ascii name

I'm designing a system that includes file-uploads. My problem is that any non-ascii chars in the filename are encoded strangely when saved. ä is encoded to å etc.
I use Tomcat with the -Dfile.encoding="UTF-8" in the Catalina file. I get the same result despite method; my own implementation, apache commons or Javazoom's uploadBean. All the JSP charset parameters are set.
Any ideas?

Hi amitads,
I'm sure u've used Java enough. Also, u must have learned about the \ (backslash) escape character ?
So, if u want to include a string like a single quote, u can write \' and for a double quote u can write \".
Try this ... I'm sure it will help.
Keep me posted.
Cheers !!

Internet links with non-Latin characters in Mail

If this link is shown in Mail on the iPhone, only the Latin text will be clickable:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/春琴抄
The Chinese characters will not be considered part of the URL.
When I click on the link it will not take me to the intended article.
The same is true for other alphabets, these Japanese characters will not be part of the URL:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ブロメライン
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas? I have submitted a bug report to Apple.
Jason

I think it is a bug, but it can make a difference how the link gets sent to you. If you go to a page in Safari and use File > Mail Link to this Page, the link may be usable by the email recipient. If you could try that I would be interested if it works.

Create a temp file with unique name?

Hi all,
I need to create a temporary IResource in a KM repository. Is there any equivalent to the java.io.File.createTempFile() method to create a IResource with a unique name that isn't already there?
Thanks for your help,
Markus

Hi Markus,
AFAIK there is no such method.
However, you can implement it yourself by using a simple rule,
such as to concat a timestamp ((new Date()).getTime()) to the created resource's name.
For an even more robust rule, you can also concat the creator's login-name.
Hope that helps,
Yoav.

WHat is the best index type for non uniqueness / Varchar columns in SQL 2008 R2

Hello All Greetings,
Please help me here with my doubt,
in my table i have two columns about a million rows, it has about 20 columns in it, three columns with name as Period, Gender so most of the time these two columns use in where clause,
Gender will contain Either M or F , Period contains YYYY-Month (2013-December, 2013-August) etc so i would like to add a Index to these two columns so that in will increase the performance, so please let me know what type of indexes i need to add to
these columns in the table,
please note that only one time we will add data to the table which will take only 2 minutes but we query the table every day
so my question what is the best index type that i need to create on columns with non uniqueness values in the column.,
Thank you In Advance,
Milan

There is nothing whatever wrong with creating an index on a VARCHAR column, or set of columns.
Regarding the performance of VARCHAR/INT, as with everything in a RDBMS, it depends on what you are doing. What you may be thinking of is the fact that clustering a table on a VARCHAR key is (in SQL Server) marginally less efficient than clustering on a monotonically
increasing numerical key, and can introduce fragmentation.
Or you may be thinking of what you have heard about writing JOINs on VARCHAR columns - it is true, it is a little less efficient than a JOIN on numeric type, but it is only a little less efficient, nothing that would lead you to never join on varchar cols.
None of this does not mean that you should not create indexes on VARCHAR columns. A needed index on a VARCHAR column will boost query performance, often by orders of magnitude. If you need an index on a VARCHAR, create it. It makes no sense to try to find an
integer column to create the index on - the engine will never use it.

Can I have a primary key as a non-unique column

Hi all,
I have a table with 35 columns and only one column in a not null column. But this column data is not unique. I want to create a primary key with non-unique index, can I don it, if it is not possible is there any other way to it. Please help me with this.
Thanks for your help.vinaykotha

1) Do the 'Unique Column combination' check first, using this example. (Pl. Change the column name and number of columns you consider as candidate key.) The SQL as follows:-
;WITH CTE (ProductKey, CustomerKey, SalesTerritoryKey, DupRec)
AS
(SELECT ProductKey, CustomerKey, SalesTerritoryKey, ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(PARTITION BY ProductKey, CustomerKey, SalesTerritoryKey
ORDER BY ProductKey, CustomerKey, SalesTerritoryKey) AS DupRec
FROM dbo.FactSales
SELECT *
FROM CTE
WHERE DupRec > 1
2) if CTE Table returns no records, you are good to create a Composite CLUSTERED PRIMARY KEY, like:
ALTER TABLE dbo.FactSales
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_ProductKey_CustomerKey_SalesTerritoryKey
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ProductKey, CustomerKey, SalesTerritoryKey);
If no error..bingo! if NOT, Don't worry, create a Composite Index like this:-
3)
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_ProductKey_CustomerKey_SalesTerritoryKey]
ON dbo.FactSales(ProductKey, CustomerKey, SalesTerritoryKey);
This will work still efficiently. Usually all transaction table are like that like Daily_Order table, Ship_Details table etc.
