Mavericks Caching server 2 for all Apple IDs?

Good evening,
At Mavericks server 10.9.1, does caching server 2 on Mavericks server caches for any Apple ID that is ont the local network?
Francois.

The application and the authorization are independent. The app/book are just data. When the first system requests it, the file is transferred to the caching server and held there as it is passed to the client that requested it. iTunes, Appstore, or the iOS device will then talk to the authorization server and assign the asset to the users account. When the next user requests the same file, it can now be vended from the caching server but authorization is handled by Apple's servers. So there is still an outbound request but this is trivial compared to the size of the payload.
One to of the best ways to see this in action is with a large OS update. Update one device. Then when complete, review your caching server to see that the data is there. Then update another system. It downloads in a blink of the eye.

Mavericks Caching Server and PAT

Our network has a PAT configuration, with multiple public IPs. How effective will the Mavericks Caching Server (CS) be in our environment?
A PAT configuration would seem to be more likely in a medium to large sized network, which is where a CS would be most effective. Documents we've found so far indicate that the Apple update servers track the public IP of the CS and redirect clients using the same IP to the local CS. If that is correct, we'll probably see minimal benefit: with 32 public IPs in our PAT range, there is only about a 3% chance a given client has the same IP as the CS.
Although a firewall rule to route all Apple update-related traffic out via a single IP might work, that would require knowledge of all the addresses in use. A better solution might be to provide a way in the CS configuration to specify the pubic PAT range shared by the local private networks, with some mechanism for verifying that the CS can utilize all of those public IPs.

Apple have the entire 17.0.0.0 block of addresses so any Apple traffic will be in that block.
I also suggest you go to the following webpage on both your Caching Server and your clients several times over a period of time to see if they do all show the same single public IP address in which case you will not have a problem.

Mavericks Caching Server very slow on gigabit Microsoft Network

Specs. OS X 10.9.5 / Mac mini / 8 GB Ram - Connected to Gigabit ethernet, 2 TB Hard Drives, 2.3 Ghz i7
Only a few days old. I have done all available updates that Apple released.
I had some difficulty getting the Mavericks caching server to work in the first place on our Windows Server 2012 network. Caching would work for the Server itself but none of my iPads or other Windows machines would cache or pull from the cache.
My work around was to manually create a DNS Host Name and PTR on the Windows Server so that we could actually nslookup and ping the Mavericks Server by hostname.domain.local This immediately fixed the issue and all hosts can cache and pull from the cache.
Speed is an issue. I currently cannot get any transfer speeds over 2 MB/s
Using the caching server to deploy an app (I verified that the internet connection was not being used and that it was coming from the caching server)
Connecting to a file share on the Windows Server and manually Copy/Paste files.
I verified the slowness using Activity Monitor on the Mavericks Server.
I have researched and found many similar complaints for the SMB2 protocol. I did not find a good enough Terminal Command to paste that I felt comfortable doing and at a later date undoing when Apple fixes the slowness issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Does anybody know the protocol that Mavericks uses by default to send out the cached updates etc (SMB)?
If you know the correct command to paste into Terminal to force Mavericks to use SMB1 and also the command to undo this change I am willing to try that as well.
Thank you in advance,
TechJeff

I tweaked the DNS a little bit more...Under DHCP IPv4 Properties --> DNS Tab. I selected "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates". This allowed our DNS to register the Macintosh server and ipads etc. My SMB2 speed is up to 300 mbps from 16 mbps.
My caching server transfers are still maxing out at 2.1 MBps. I have switched out my wireless unit to a 150 mbps unit that the iPad is connected to. My next troubleshooting step will be to download an app in iTunes on a computer that is plugged in to our gigabit ethernet on the same switch as the Mac Server to elliminate any potential bottlenecks or wireless issues.
Still looking for ideas if anybody has troubleshooting ideas.

I am using a common apple id for all apple iphone 5 devices in my family now when i am using iMessage to communicate between 2 phones on the same apple id the third iPhone is also getting the same message.

Kindly help me out with this issue

Well, since all your devices are literally using the same iMessage account, of course they share posts.
The cleanest solution is for those other devices to get their own AppleID to use with iMessages so every device has its own unique iMessage account (same thing goes for iCloud).
You can have multiple AppleIDs, and you do not need to use the same one for all Apple accounts or services. e.g. you can use the common AppleID for the iTunes and App store to share purchased content, but use unique AppleIDs for iMessage and/or iCloud to keep those account separate.

I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs

I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs. About these many IDs i am unaware.

You only can update those Apps, if you know the Passwords from the AppleIDs, which were used for purchase.
If you´re unable to enter these Passwords you can´t update them.
You can delete those Apps from your device and purchase & download them again with your own known AppleID.
There is no other Way to get them updated. Because you are not the owner of those Apps.

SLR - transaction response time for all appl. servers together

Hi,
we want to have in SLR response time for defined transaction. We have activated necessary steps for monitoring transactions, started CPH and we can see in SLR average response times.
We have several application servers and we want to have in SLR TOTAL response time for all appl. servers together.
Is it possible? What is necessary steps to do it?
Thanks for all hints.
Regards,
Roman

Hi Andreas,
Another way to approach this would be to use CCMS transaction monitoring by maintaining table ALTRAMONI (in the satellite system) as described here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b3/468e3b093d4031e10000000a11402f/content.htm
In RZ20 you'll be able to see the last 24 hours of performance data in a 1-hour granularity, as well as the last 30 minutes in a higher granularity. Depending on your requirements you can then configure alerting so that you get an email when performance passes a certain threshold.

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

How can I deploy the setting of clear cache on exit for all users?

Note that Firefox disables the disk cache if you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cache (see about:cache), so you can either disable the disk cache via its related pref or set the prefs related to clearing this data,but then other items that have a check-mark by default are cleared as well.
*browser.cache.disk.enable
*privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache
*privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Is it possible for two apple IDs to share an iTunes library?

Me and my brother each have our own apple IDs. Is there anyway we can share an iTunes library for all the media available including apps and not be able to see each others emails and keep our own progress in games? The devices we use are iPhone 5 and iPad mini.

o I installed from our 10 server license pack.
Note that it's actually a 10 client license, not a 10 server license. As Templeton said, for each system on which you want to install the ARD administration application, you need to purchase a separate copy of ARD.
How do I get different serial numbers on each machine from the same license pack?
You don't. If you want to have the administrator application installed on two systems, you will need to purchase a second 10-client copy of ARD.

HT204284 Does a single iCloud account get shared across all Apple IDs that are joined in Family Sharing?

I have an iCloud account on my AppleID and I have family sharing activated that links me with my wife's AppleID over all our devices.
I Am signed into my AppleID on my devices (iMac and iPhone) and my wife is signed into her AppleID on her devices (iPad and iPhone). I thought that family sharing would have allowed us to share an iCloud account so that we can share our photo album that is stored there. My wife's devices are not giving her access to the iCloud account on my AppleID though.
Any clues?

Greetings pbick,
I am sorry I did not make myself better understood. The article itself states that.
Mac with OS X Yosemite
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family and click the Add button (+).
Select "Create an Apple ID for a child who doesn't have an account" and click Continue.
Enter your child's birthday and click Next. The birthday for a child's account can't be changed after the account is created. Be sure to enter the correct date.

How to own the same e-mail-address for different Apple-IDs

Hello
I’m under the impression, that I can’t use the same e-mail-address for iCloud I used already in my Apple-ID for iTunes, because I get no verification mail for the iCloud account. Is this correct or did I something wrong?
Thanks for supporting me
I already raised this question in the iCloud forum, but till now nobody answered - may be the wrong sub-forum

Many thanks for the answer - that's what I suspected. Anyway...
The problem I have now is, that my Apple-ID I used already for some years in order to buy apps is in the "old" format (e.g. duggy832), that means not in the form of an eMail-address. iCloud accept only Apple-IDs in the “new” format meaning in the form like an eMail-address (e.g. [email protected]).
So it needs to modify the old Apple-ID from duggy832 to [email protected] or to “transfer” – if possible – my shopping from Apple-ID duggy832 to [email protected]
Which way is possible, which is safe/secure, which is recommended?
Thanks in advance

Notification on shared reminders do not work for multiple Apple IDs

When I share reminders between different Apple ID, they show up perfectly in the Reminder App with correct notification settings and all. But notifications only pops up for the user whose Apple ID created the reminder, not for all users sharing the reminder.
Are there some kind of setting that I am missing, or is it a missing functionality.
/Ramboost

Hi,
One small part of this.
In Messages on the iOS devices delete all Messages.
(You can Forward any you want to keep to the Apple ID used in Messages - you lose the formatting but you have the info)
You may also need to clear iMessages "saved" on the iPad.
Then set the Settings > Messages > Received At > Caller ID to the Apple ID that is being used elsewhere.
Once this is done the Apple ID can sync with the iPhone Number and with all devices and apps using the ID.

Is the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer usable? Is this what is store for all Apple products?

I am very disheartened with Apple. I have loved the iPod touchs up until now. It seems the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer download apps that work on the 4.2.1 iOS. I was just selling my wife on Apple products and now this has shut her and I down on all Apple products. I hope I am wrong but is Apple partaking in planned obsolesence? If so, planned obsolesence is not marketing and I will be looking at other brands when it comes to electronic devices. If not, how do you download apps for an iPod touch 2nd gen running a max iOS of 4.2.1? Thank you.

Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store. It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices. And you can download them right to your ios device. Many are free.
Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
Be sure to keep backups of older software. Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

How do I change the owner's name for all Apple/iTunes/iCloud applications?

The name for my iPhone device and all Apple related things I log into, the owner name is my father's name -- however, since it is my device and my phone and I use all relating applications, I would like for it to be underneath my name. How do I change the overall name for my entire Apple account?

Go to system preferences and the sharing tab, then change the "computer name".
That's not a problem for anything.
If you had links from the other computer in the name.local format, you'll just need to update them.

Adding printers to Terminal Server 2008 for all users

Hi! I'm trying to add a printer to a terminal server for all users that log in. I've been reading around and this seems like a working solution:
Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\localcomputername /n\\servername\printername
So I ran this with the proper parameters. Nothing shows up in Devices and Printers with the name I specified. I rebooted the server, still nothing. I re-run the command above and it tells me there's already a printer defined with that name.
I look at Devices and Printers and the name I specified still isn't there. Why doesn't the above command work like it's supposed to?
Thanks!

Thanks, yes, that was the first command I tried (without the /c). All subsequent attempts tell me the printer already exists yet it definitely does not show up under Devices and Printers. I ran the above logged in as Administrator with an elevated
command prompt. The printer can't be seen from this login or a 'normal' user login.

Silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 for ALL users?

We ship an installer that does a silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 with all the 'right' parameters pre-configured. We use this:
/QS /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL,BC,Conn,ADV_SSMS /SAPWD=MyPasswordGoesHere /SECURITYMODE=SQL /TCPENABLED=1 /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
However, the problem is that if a tech installs it for another user, that user does not have access, since ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN flag only adds the user who installed it -- rather than adding ALL users on the computer. (Or at least all admins.)
I tried replacing ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN with this:
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"
but that also failed to work. How can we install for all users, or at least all administrators?
NOTE: we do NOT know the name of the computer or the users. The installer has to work for any computer setup.
Similar question has already been asked, but wasn't helpful:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8354675f-be9b-4909-b776-942f03954807/how-to-do-a-silent-install-of-sql-2010-express-for-all-users-on-a-computer?forum=sqlexpress
The documentation does not make it clear what you can pass as allowed SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS parameters. I also am not sure if I would need to change the AGTSVCACCOUNT or SQLSVCACCOUNT?

I tried one more thing:
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
which does not halt installation with an error.
However, doing:
osql -E
create database test
go
in a command prompt from a different admin user on the same machine results in a permissions error... but works if done from a command prompt on the user account from which MSSQLServer was installed.
So for some reason /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators" does not work as expected.
Anyone have any idea why?
I checked the output log from the install, and found it had generated and used a configurationFIle to do the install. I looked in that file, and these were the settings, even though I did NOT pass /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN as a command line option:
; Windows account(s) to provision as SQL Server system administrators.
SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
; The default is Windows Authentication. Use "SQL" for Mixed Mode Authentication.
SECURITYMODE="SQL"
; Provision current user as a Database Engine system administrator for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True"
