Mass rollout guide needed

I work in a Publisher (doubt anyone else would bother) and it looks likely I may have to role this out to 1000 machines. Is there any way to get hold of a redistributable installer, and is there any documentation that would help me in this, in particular detailing a scripted silent install, and any configuration that needs to be done.
Also will the software run under a normal windows user account?

Licensing or Distributing Adobe Digital Editions 1.x
Unfortunately, there is no licensing process currently which allows you to distribute Adobe Digital Editions on intranets or non-connected machines. Adobe is aware that this is a common feature request and will consider it for a future version.

  • Need SPA122 mass provisioning guide

    Hello all,
    The backstory:
    We normally use polycom phones, they can be configured easily and automatically via ftp option 66, and writing contents to config files for the phones to see and use.
    We are now supporting a client that has 400+ cisco SPA122 ATAs... I'm frankly up a creek. There seems to be no way to auto provision them, each and every single one must be logged into by hand, a crushing and thankless task.
    Question: How might these be configured like polycoms?
    Attempt 1
    There is a way mentioned where you can push out to each unit, a url to the location where is is supposed to get is new file:
    a few issues
    1) This requires the unit to be currently online. This is inconvienient. Many devices are stored offline. They should be able to contact a provisioning server and get their configs, How?
    2) Even the "url push" method is spotty. The ATA's dont respond half of the time.
    How can the adapters be made to have a provisioning server which they check for configs every reboot?
    To date I have invested 100+ hours in research trying to dig us out of the hole.

    you can buy the remote configuration SKUs ( they have a -RC at the end of the model number).  (Quotes from provisionong guide, )
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/csbpvga/spa100-200/provisioning/guide/SPA100-200_PG_78-20952.pdf
    <
    In this model, the service provider issues these ATAs to its customers as part of a VoIP service contract. The devices are either RC units or preprovisioned in-house.
    RC units are preprovisioned by Cisco to resynchronize with a Cisco server that downloads the device profile and firmware updates.
    A service provider can preprovision these ATAs with the desired parameters, including the parameters that control resynchronization, through various methods: in-house by using DHCP and TFTP; remotely by using TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS; or a combination of in-house and remote provisioning. >>
    and
    <
    the proper operation of the IP Telephony device at the customer premises. This customized, ongoing configuration issupported by the following features:
    •Reliable remote control of the endpoint
    •Encryption of the communication controlling the endpoint
    •Streamlined endpoint account binding
    This chapter describes the features and functionality available when provisioning
    these ATAs and explains the setup required:
    • Deployment, page 7
    •Provisioning Overview, page 9
    Here's the zero touch provisioning guide (for asterisk) for the spa phones, but the provisioning is the same across all the spa platforms.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9954
    and the ATA provisioning guide seems to describe what you are wanting to do.
    What have you tried so far?

  • Performance Tuning Guide Needed.

    I've seen numerous references to a "Performance Tuning Guide" Is there
    any way this document could be posted on the weblogic customer
    downloads.
    We desperately need this information. Even with working with Support so
    far the process has been trial and error. Try this, then try that. I've
    burnt many days just playing around with the properties and so far no
    luck.
    I've read just about every post in the performance newsgroup. Some seem
    to be the same types of problems we are currently facing. Great
    response when there are about 50 users. Horrible around 65. Slowness
    doesn't seem to be gradual. All of a sudden it starts to crawl. So far
    I haven't seen any posts regarding solutions (weblogic.properties
    settings) which I could try and use.
    We are currently using weblogic 4.0.3 on AIX 4.3 with Oracle 8.i. No
    native performance pack for that release. Will upgrading to 4.5.1
    increase performance dramatically? Our application is very database
    dependent. We use a the weblogic connection pool using Oracle's jdbc
    thin driver. Note Oracle's OCI driver has numerous bugs related to CLOB
    and BLOB retrieval which are used heavily in our database.
    Thanks,
    Don DeLuca

    Hi Don,
    I can't comment on the public posting of the Capacity Planning document.
    However, I can say that there is no magic formula for optimizing your
    WebLogic application. The biggest things to look at are the application
    design and code (e.g., unnecessary synchronization code), DBMS configuration
    and database design, JVM heap size (bigger is not always better), number of
    execute threads (more is not always better), number of database connections
    in the pool, whether or not you are using the performance pack, how much
    other activity is happening on the server machine, etc. I can tell you that
    trying to simulate a large number of clients from a single JVM client (using
    lots of threads) will lead you to believe that the server is having problems
    when it is really the client software/hardware that is often the limiting
    factor. In many of our large benchmarks, we end up using significantly more
    hardware for driving the clients than for running the server(s).
    Sorry I don't have any better answers for you,
    Robert

  • Not familiar with wiki etiquette, Beginner's Guide needs to be changed

    Hello everyone,
    I am an Arch newbie and did my first Arch installation successfully last night.
    During the installation, a problem occured in chapter Configure the network of the Beginner's Guide. When executing
    # systemctl start dhcpcd
    the system refuses to do it, it complains it is in a chrooted environment and ignores the command. Consequently, I didn't have an internet connection after the reboot, but executing this piece of code again in my "real" system quickly solved the problem.
    Since Arch is a community effort and I'd like to give back, even if it's just small things as a newbie, I'd like to help improve the Wiki, but I am not sure about its etiquette after going through the Help:Editing as it has a rather technical nature, but not the policies.
    Is it ok for me to make direct editions to the Beginner's Guide?
    If yes, should I just add a note along the lines "repeat this command in case you get the error..."? Or what do you suggest to have a streamlined style of writing?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    I am no expert, but in order to install arch, u need an internet connection already before the install process. And after the chroot, that connection will not change; the "systemctl start dhcpcd command" therefore is in my opinion not necessary.
    It makes sense to run "systemctl enable dhcpcd" after the chroot to start the internet connection during the next reboot. (That's probably also what u want to do; else u need to run the start command everytime u reboot your system)
    PS: Welcome to the "Arch Family"

  • Andy's Guides - Need help!!

    Okay,
    So, I have a 16:9 project and need to use Andy's guides to show me center cut (4:3) straight in the center. For some reason, I only see the options "4:3" or "14:9". I'm assuming the "14:9" is center cut, but want to verify.
    Thanks!

    Ryan,
    If you need 4:3 guides then choose 4:3 (not 14:9) from the popup. The Crop Safe guide will then indicate the region that will be cropped if and when you create your center cut version. Use the Actions Safe and Title Safe guides to ensure that your Center Cut version will comply with broadcast recommendations.
    Cheers
    Andy

  • Official Arch Linux Install Guide needs edit

    Aloha,
    This line in the Official Arch Linux Install Guide
    Official Arch Linux Install Guide
    dd if=archlinux-XXX.img of=/dev/sdX
    Needs to be changed too
    dd if=archlinux-2010.05-{core|netinstall}-{i686|x86_64|dual}.iso of=/dev/sdx
    Mahalo

    Hum, well I don't know how to write a git patch. I guess it would be a good thing to learn though, but I have to go to bed now.
    Hum..., after further looking at the this forums section I guess I posted in a totally wrong place Live and learn.

  • Step by Step Guide needed for external drives.... Help!

    I know this has probably been done to death already but I can't seem to make any of the suggestions work in this case. I guess what I need is someone to tell me like I'm a 5 year old on how to do this.
    I want to move my music library to an external drive as my main drive is getting full. I have iTunes on my c: drive and want to move my music to an external drive (h:) so it can play and be stored there. I have tried a couple of times to move it and tell iTunes where to find it but for some reason a couple of things happen...
    1. iTunes changes the location back to the c: drive, even after I have pointed it to a folder created on the external drive.
    2. if it does look to the external drive it doesn't find the library... the music is there but iTunes doesn't display it in the library.
    I must be doing something really wrong or this isn't possible... any advice would be a great help.

  • A mass request ( Things need to be added, improved...

    Things need to be added, improved, modifying or even be developed in any update or upcoming version of Windows Phone - in my opinion - are as follows :
    System Improvements :
    1- Windows Phone must include a System , folder & files Management app as embedded app rather than an external or independent limited functions app . Also files Explorer or Files Management app should handle all files ( whatever it was ) that are being transfered through Bluetooth and shows save location on the mobile .
    2- Install applications from external memory ( SD Card ) without needing to Internet connection , as well as doing search in the phone using Bing search button without need for an Internet connection .
    3- Allow phone book contacts linking to any of Social or communication , dialing or calling apps , such as Line , Telegram , KakaoTalk & WhatsApp as an example and not being limited to Skype, Facebook or Linkedin only .
    4-  Windows Phone must support running Adobe flash files ( swf & flv ) , Animated GIFs & Java files to be run & play on all WP8 devices .
    5- Fix consuming huge amounts of data on memory by installed apps , the matter that often not found on a PC! .
    6 - one of many defects / faults / shortcomings in WP 8.1 is that user can't add any apps by himself to run within apps for video calls that exist in phone settings , nor adding apps in notifications action center , or apps that its status can be appear on lock screen , unlike ( rather than ) predefined apps by system itself , as well as , there is no ( choice / function / option ) to add an application that can be used to run different function , such as selecting Adobe photoshop Express to be within apps that can run picture files captured .
    7- There is no data connection switching & data speed connection type ( 4,3,2 G ) switching function in WP 8.1 notifications + actions center as well as Alarms function .
    8- Support memory Card readers and flash USB through mobile's micro USB .
    9- improving Device hub function which display all connecting devices , but doesn't allow access to nor control or operate it .
    10- Support recognize handwriting that support Arabic language & applications that support Arabic handwriting  
    11 - there are duplicated features in its functions such as backup & sync my settings , Advertising id & IE privacy protection , NOKIA account & email + accounts , Network + & phone settings , about & extras + info , display & brightness function , rate us & feedback function .
    12- Enhancing Backup function for SMS Messaging .
    13- one of many defects / faults / shortcomings is that when someone want to add a contact phone number , WP 8.1 doesn't let you select your save place or method , whether it was on sim card , SD card , phone memory or your Microsoft account , unfortunately WP save it directly only on your MS account by default .
    Applications improvements :
    1- Much bigger support for major & significant applications in all areas and categories .
    2- Improving & Enhancing Office document working experience & make preloaded or saved html browsed files can be readable easily .
    Office Mobile that's run on WP is extremely primitive , unlike Android office suite Kingsoft Office that include most of desktop office suite features & WP 8.1 Office app still run with a primitive edition that was running on Symbian powered NOKIA mobiles in the early second millennium !
    3- Must support & providing with Google apps & services , such as : Gmail , Google Drive , Translate , Maps , Earth , Youtube , Books , Google Chrome , Cloud Print , Voice , Wallet , Sites , Scholar , Panoramio .
    4-  Develop & improve group video calls apps that can send and share various file types plus adding simultaneous group sharing or common group action / work for the same file in the same moment feature. that means you can open a video file for watching while all participants can watch it playing in the same time . Also we can open an app like papyrus and all what we do writing in is shown for all participants in the same time and also they can do writing in and save what they have done. Also, when playing audio file, all participants can listen to it at the same time ( this is completely different from upload and sharing feature and may looks like web conferencing ).
    5- Improving & Enhancing Remote Access apps & technologies for Devices & Systems Administration .
    Browser improvements :
    1- Adding  Save Page as feature for html webpages that have been saved through G.Chrome in Windows 7 or have been browsed through IE 11 on WP 8.1 . 
    2- an important functions in IE doesn't exist or discarded , such as home page button & Navigation buttons ( back & forward ) .
    Store Improvements :
    1- resolve problem of store restricted download for certain apps that are dedicated to particular region .
    2- Install applications from external memory ( SD Card ) without needing to Internet connection .
    Maps Improvements :
    Enhancing maps applications by adding ability to add places and landmarks to the map by the user , for example when I go for a trip or a picnic , I pass with someplace or landmark , such as a shopping mall , pharmacy or bookshop , ... etc where I like to add and save such this location data ( Name , info & details ) on map , then find it later through search function on this app like here maps or here drive .
    Wallet Improvements :
    WP 8.1 Wallet should be improved to support and accept shop , buy from and payment for various websites and online stores , such as ebay , Amazon & Ali express and not being limited to buy from and pay for Microsoft stores only .
                    Also , WP 8.1 Wallet became so primitive , because it is not ordered and categorized like previous WP version ( 8 ) , where you can name every card , set its details & infos and let ( allow ) you add various types of payment cards , such as : debit cads , offers : discounts coupons , subscriptions , memberships , prepaid cards , bank accounts ( your online mobile banking service data ) & E- payment accounts like Paypal rather than improve it to accept and support Mastercard paypass , electronic bill payment ( gas, electricity , water , telephone , any purchases ) like a POS machine , however it isn't like this in recent version of WP ( 8.1 ) . All the matter that Wallet takes or sync your raw , primary and so basic data as it is from your account on Microsoft ! and don't let you make any additions , modification or any specific customization .
    Display & lock screen Improvements :
    1- Make alerts & notifications on lock screen are interactive .
    2- there is no news reader function / feature on lock screen like rss feeds .
    3- Support wireless screen content sharing : Clone View , Miracast , WiDi ( WiFi Display ) , screen mirroring on large displays for all WP8.1 devices .
    Print & printing improvements :
    Support Wireless & Network printing for Office , Pdf , html & picture files or from any readable applications ( such as : news apps , health & fitness apps , some business apps , Education & books + reference apps ) .
    Networks & Connection Improvements:
    1- Expand WiFi , Bluetooth profiles & other wireless connecting technologies uses and functionality to include other technologies unlike ( rather than being limited to ) Bluetooth & WiFi , such as : WiFi direct , WiDi , Miracast , …etc .
    2- Adding Wi-Fi direct feature for all WP devices to send any files through a Wi-Fi Connection directly.
    3- Support wireless connecting to various devices , networking with & access to such as PCs & Printers for files sharing or exchanging , management.
    Hardware improvements :
    1- Support recognize handwriting that support Arabic language & applications that support Arabic handwriting.
    2- Support memory Card readers and flash USB through mobile's micro USB .
    Security & Protection Improvements :
     improve device security and protection against stealing , like making an app for detect the person who enter invalid lock key to open the device .
    ==================================================​======

    System Improvements :
    1- Windows Phone must include a System , folder & files Management app as embedded app rather than an external or independent limited functions app . Also files Explorer or Files Management app should handle all files ( whatever it was ) that are being transfered through Bluetooth and shows save location on the mobile .
    Why? To what end?
    You have no business in the main OS file system and due to the way the OS works this is simply not possible.
    2- Install applications from external memory ( SD Card ) without needing to Internet connection , as well as doing search in the phone using Bing search button without need for an Internet connection .
    Is possible now, download the XAP from the store and copy to SDcard. Internet connection will always be needed to verify regional restrictions and ownership amongst other things.
    3- Allow phone book contacts linking to any of Social or communication , dialing or calling apps , such as Line ,
    Telegram , KakaoTalk & WhatsApp as an example and not being limited to Skype, Facebook or Linkedin only .
    Talk to the respective developers, the OS provided the hooks, they need to implement this.
    4- Windows Phone must support running Adobe flash files ( swf & flv ) , Animated GIFs & Java files to be run & play on all WP8 devices .
    No modern day mobile OS supports Flash, it was discontinued a long time ago
    Not sure why JAVA would be such a big deal.. I can see the huge security issues and would expect it to conflict with OS
    5- Fix consuming huge amounts of data on memory by installed apps , the matter that often not found on a PC! .
    Not sure what you are getting at here, on your PC you need about three times the application install size as well.
    6 - one of many defects / faults / shortcomings in WP 8.1 is that user can't add any apps by himself to run within apps for video calls that exist in phone settings , nor adding apps in notifications action center , or apps that its status can be appear on lock screen , unlike ( rather than ) predefined apps by system itself , as well as , there is no ( choice / function / option ) to add an application that can be used to run different function , such as selecting Adobe photoshop Express to be within apps that can run picture files captured .
    Any app can use the notification centre is the developer supports it, go talk to them. Otherwise this makes no sense to me at all. I have no idea what you are getting at..
    7- There is no data connection switching & data speed connection type ( 4,3,2 G ) switching function in WP 8.1 notifications + actions center as well as Alarms function .
    Coming in new OS update. Not sure what this has to do with Alarms function
    8- Support memory Card readers and flash USB through mobile's micro USB .
    Not going to happen due to security issues
    9- improving Device hub function which display all connecting devices , but doesn't allow access to nor control or operate it .
    If there are supporting apps for said device they will show up here. Again the functionality is there, it's up to developers to implement
    10- Support recognize handwriting that support Arabic language & applications that support Arabic handwriting
    Could not care less.
    11 - there are duplicated features in its functions such as backup & sync my settings , Advertising id & IE privacy protection , NOKIA account & email + accounts , Network + & phone settings , about & extras + info , display & brightness function , rate us & feedback function .
    12- Enhancing Backup function for SMS Messaging .
    Why/How? you need to save a txt.. copy/paste it to a note ..
    13- one of many defects / faults / shortcomings is that when someone want to add a contact phone number , WP 8.1 doesn't let you select your save place or method , whether it was on sim card , SD card , phone memory or your Microsoft account , unfortunately WP save it directly only on your MS account by default .
    Nope, when you have multiple accounts the OS will ask which account the contact needs to sync with.
    Applications improvements :
    1- Much bigger support for major & significant applications in all areas and categories .
    Talk to the developers of said apps
    2- Improving & Enhancing Office document working experience & make preloaded or saved html browsed files can be readable easily .
    Can't say I have any issues with Office
    3- Must support & providing with Google apps & services , such as : Gmail , Google Drive , Translate , Maps , Earth , Youtube , Books , Google Chrome , Cloud Print , Voice , Wallet , Sites , Scholar , Panoramio .
    Talk to Google, they choose to ignore Windows Phone for some reason
    4- Develop & improve group video calls apps that can send and share various file types plus adding simultaneous group sharing or common group action / work for the same file in the same moment feature. that means you can open a video file for watching while all participants can watch it playing in the same time . Also we can open an app like papyrus and all what we do writing in is shown for all participants in the same time and also they can do writing in and save what they have done. Also, when playing audio file, all participants can listen to it at the same time ( this is completely different from upload and sharing feature and may looks like web conferencing ).
    Again, talk to developers, ther groundwork is actually in the OS.. Take up developing apps and do it yourself. If you think it's a big deal you stand to make a lot of money.
    5- Improving & Enhancing Remote Access apps & technologies for Devices & Systems Administration .
    No problem accessing anything through SSH or through any of the apps I have to access my PC, my server, my media players or my Xbox..
    Browser improvements :
    1- Adding Save Page as feature for html webpages that have been saved through G.Chrome in Windows 7 or have been browsed through IE 11 on WP 8.1 .
    This is a phone, not a desktop computer.. Do a screenshot
    2- an important functions in IE doesn't exist or discarded , such as home page button & Navigation buttons ( back & forward ) .
    Never missed the home button, actually never use it on my PC as well.. as far as back/forward goes try the back button (forward makes little sense to me anyway
    Store Improvements :
    1- resolve problem of store restricted download for certain apps that are dedicated to particular region .
    Talk to the developers, they set these limits when publishingthe app(s)
    2- Install applications from external memory ( SD Card ) without needing to Internet connection .
    See the earlier mention of this one
    Maps Improvements :
    Enhancing maps applications by adding ability to add places and landmarks to the map by the user , for example when I go for a trip or a picnic , I pass with someplace or landmark , such as a shopping mall , pharmacy or bookshop , ... etc where I like to add and save such this location data ( Name , info & details ) on map , then find it later through search function on this app like here maps or here drive .
    Tap/hold then save as favourite. Been there like forever
    Wallet Improvements :
    WP 8.1 Wallet should be improved to support and accept shop , buy from and payment for various websites and
    online stores , such as ebay , Amazon & Ali express and not being limited to buy from and pay for Microsoft stores only .
    Also , WP 8.1 Wallet became so primitive , because it is not ordered and categorized like previous WP version ( 8 ) , where you can name every card , set its details & infos and let ( allow ) you add various types of payment cards , such as : debit cads , offers : discounts coupons , subscriptions , memberships , prepaid cards , bank accounts ( your online mobile banking service data ) & E- payment accounts like Paypal rather than improve it to accept and support Mastercard paypass , electronic bill payment ( gas, electricity , water , telephone , any purchases ) like a POS machine , however it isn't like this in recent version of WP ( 8.1 ) . All the matter that Wallet takes or sync your raw , primary and so basic data as it is from your account on Microsoft ! and don't let you make any additions , modification or any specific customization .
    Up to stores/developers/shops/banks to support. The option is there and built in.
    Display & lock screen Improvements :
    1- Make alerts & notifications on lock screen are interactive .
    It's a lockscreen for a reason
    2- there is no news reader function / feature on lock screen like rss feeds .
    See above
    3- Support wireless screen content sharing : Clone View , Miracast , WiDi ( WiFi Display ) , screen mirroring on large displays for all WP8.1 devices .
    Depends on hardware, available where supported.
    Print & printing improvements :
    Support Wireless & Network printing for Office , Pdf , html & picture files or from any readable applications ( such as : news apps , health & fitness apps , some business apps , Education & books + reference apps ) .
    several apps in store for this
    Networks & Connection Improvements:
    1- Expand WiFi , Bluetooth profiles & other wireless connecting technologies uses and functionality to include other technologies unlike ( rather than being limited to ) Bluetooth & WiFi , such as : WiFi direct , WiDi , Miracast , …etc .
    Not sure what you are getting at here. IMO technologies should be used for what they are intended, not whatever side effects/hacks ppl made up oever time or at at time when there were no real options. Actually Bluetooth internet sharing is coming in the next update.
    2- Adding Wi-Fi direct feature for all WP devices to send any files through a Wi-Fi Connection directly.
    For what purpose?
    3- Support wireless connecting to various devices , networking with & access to such as PCs & Printers for files sharing or exchanging , management.
    My files are on Onedrive and available anywhere anyway.. no need for this
    Hardware improvements :
    1- Support recognize handwriting that support Arabic language & applications that support Arabic handwriting.
    2- Support memory Card readers and flash USB through mobile's micro USB .
    mentioned earlier, if you say so
    Security & Protection Improvements :
    improve device security and protection against stealing , like making an app for detect the person who enter invalid lock key to open the device .
    Not sure how you see this.. once I take the SIM out and reset the link to you is gone
