MDS customer success stories

Hi,
we are evaluating MDS (sql server 2012) and my manager asked me to find references for the successful implementations of MDS for large customers?
Where can I find those customer success stories?
thank you!

Using a custom certificate store for SCCM 2012 clients and primary site server

I have read what seems to be all the pki related documentation out there for SCCM 2012. I have a PKI infrastructure up and running issueing certificates with an offline root through group policy autoenrollment. The problem that i'm faced with is we are migrating
from SCCM 2007 that was in native mode and we chose not to use the CA that we used for the old SCCM environment. When the clients attempt to communicate with the M.P. it runs through all of the different certificates and adds a tremendous amount of overhead
to the M.P. We will have ten's of thousands of clients by migration end. Could someone please point me to a document that goes over how to leverage a custom certificate store that I could then tell the new 2012 environment to use? I know that it's in there,
I've seen it in the console. The setup is one primary site server with SQL on box and the pki I just mentioned as well as the old 2007 environment that is still live.
I read that you can try and use SAN as a method of identifying the new certs but I haven't found a good document covering exactly how that works. Any info you could provide I would be very grateful for. Thanks.

Jason, thank you for your reply. I'm getting the impression that you have never been in the situation where you had to deal with 2 different PKI environments. Let me state that I understand what your saying about trust. We have to configure the trusted root
CA via GPO. That simply isn't enough, and I have a valid example to backup this claim. When the new clients got the advertisement and began the ccmsetup process I used the /pki switch among others. What the client end up doing was selecting a certificate that
had the longest validity period which was issued by our old CA. It checked the authentication chain, found it to be valid and selected it for communication. At that point the installation failed, period, no caveats as you say. The reason the install failed
because the new PKI infrastructure is integrated into the new environment, and the old is not. So when you said " that
are trusted and they can use *any* cert that is trusted because at the end of the day, there is no
difference between two valid certs that have the same purpose as long as they are trusted. "
that is not correct. Both certs are trusted, and use the same certificate template, but only one certificate would allow the install to complete successfully.
Once I started using the CCMCERTISSUERS
switch the client install went swimmingly. The only reason I'm still debating this point is because someone might read this thread see your comments and assume "well I've got my new PKI configured as a trusted root CA, I should be all set" and their
deployment will fail, just as my pilot did.
About Intune I'm looking forward to doing a POC in the lab i built with my Note 3. I'm hoping it goes well as I really want to have our MDM migrated into ConfigMgr... I think the
biggest obstacle outside of selling it to management will be the actual device migration from the current MDM solution. From what I understand of the enrollment process manual install and config is the only path forward.
Thanks Jason for your post and discussion.

user10233638, did you install a 64 bit Oracle client or a 32 bit Oracle client? Your subject line says instant client which I would think you are using the EZconnect feature. To the best of my knowledge, which I admint is limited in regards to the instant client, I thought that the EZ connection like a java thin client connection supplied all the Oracle target information so not tnsnames.ora file was required.
I found a EQ connection example in the following while researching your issue:
ORA-12154 When Using Long SQLNET Alias in DBQ Property of ODBC Connection String or TNS Service Name of DSN [ID 1340407.1]
Is there any reason you are not using a regular Oracle client or an ODAC client installation? The ODAC client installation does not come with the network configuration tools but I have copied a tnsnames.ora file into the appropriate directory my customer wanted installed so they could use the MS Visual Studio support provided by ODAC. We are using that client to support connections to Oracle.
As far as I know Oracle does not care if you point to a network hosted tnsnames.ora file via the TNS_ADMIN environment variable. So long as the sqlnet software can open and read the tnsnames.ora file I am pretty sure Oracle does not care. We have been using a network hosted tnsnames.ora file to support desktop clients for over a decade and a half though we do not use this option from servers. I am pretty sure it was Oracle support that suggested using a commont client tnsnames.ora file to us to begin with.

Best Practices needed -- question regarding global support success stories

My customer has a series of Go Lives scheduled throughout the year and is now concerned about an October EAI (Europe, Asia, International) go live. They wish to discuss the benefits of separating a European go Live from an Asia/International go live in terms of support capabilities and best practices. The European business is definitely larger and more important than the Asia/International business and the split would allow more targeted focus on Europe. My customer does not have a large number of resources to spare and is starting to think that supporting the combined go live may be too much (i.e., too much risk to the businesses) to handle.
The question for SAP is regarding success stories and best practices.
From a global perspective, do we recommend this split? Do most of our global customers split a go live in Europe from a go live in Asia/International (which is Australia, etc.). Can I reference any of these customers? If the EAI go live is not split, what is absolutely necessary for success, etc, etc? For example, if a core team member plus local support is required in each location, then this may not be possible with the resources they have u2026u2026..
I would appreciate any insights/best practices/success stories/or u201Cwaru201D stories you might be aware of.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Barbara

Hi, this is purely based on customer requirement.
I have a friend in an Organization which went live in 38 centers at the same time.
With the latest technologies in networking, distances does not make any difference.
The Organization where I currently work in, has global business locations. In my current organization the go live was in phases. Here they went live in the region where the business was maximum first because this region was their largest and most important as far as revenue was concerned. Then after stabilizing this region, a group of consultants went to the rest of the regions for the go live in that region.
Both the companies referred above are successfully into SAP and are leading partners with SAP. Unfortunately I am not authorized to give you the names of the Organizations as a reference for you as you requested.
But in your case if you have shortage of manpower, you can do it in phases by first going live in the European Market and then in phases you can go live in the other regions.
Warm Regards

Strange issue in custom Success/Failure captions

Hi,
I have a strange issue in my custom Success/Failure caption. If I use 'S' letter in my customized caption .bmp file, it is not showing properly in the captivate. Attached file is for your reference. I tried converting text into image in photoshop, still it shows the same thing. Any thoughts??
Thanks in Advance,
-Ajay

OK. That's what I thought.
So what I think is going on here is due to the way Captivate assembles text captions that can stretch to any size based on the component images. I think your corner image that contains the text is being stretched right at the point where the S character is located on the end of Congratulations. Captivate is achieving the resizable text caption by repeating the last few pixels of each background image.
If you want to test my theory, just make your Congratulations text slightly shorter (use a condensed font or make the font size smaller) and I think your issue will go away.

Custom HTML Store Open Link in Safari

Hi there,
I'm working on Custom HTML Store.
And today I faced with one problem.
Is there any way to open html link directly in Safari or in standard DPS view (with back button and open-in-safari button)?
Currently my link reloads HTML Store in UIWebView.
I tried three different approaches:
1) <a href="http://site/" target="_blank"></a>
2) window.open('http://www.site/','_blank');
3) window.open('http://www.site/','_system');
But I didn't get result.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Andrey

Thank you for reply!
Directly in Safari - yes, I agree.
But in GQ US, GQ Italia I can see banners, which are working fine - they open standard DPS view (with back button and open-in-safari button) .

Photo Book Success Stories

i often read about the frustration folks have been having in ordering books. i was extremely apprehensive about ordering my own recently, based on the comments and feedback i've been reading. i did research on a few alternatives, but they all seemed to be just about even, and in some cases, the iPhoto process was the ideal choice.
anyhow, i sent in an order for a 36-page hardcover book. i changed the iPhoto PDF dpi preference, as recommended, to 300 dpi using PREF SETTER.
i also traced the PDF file down on my harddrive and previewed it before placing the order. everything looked fine.
the only thing i should add, is that the images in my book were all 7" x 7" RGB TIFF files. they were digital paintings done using only Photoshop and no photographic images. just Brush Tool artwork.
one thing I did, though, was to reformat the 7 x 7 size to fit the actual page size of the hardcover iPhoto book, which was 2592 x 1944.
i sent in the order with Express delivery. it arrived here in just about 2-3 days - a day faster than expected.
the book looks sensational. i was very skeptical, as i now had to order 3 more.
i went through the order process again, obviously much quicker this time.
the three books arrived even faster this time and looked equally as good as the first. the only noticable characteristics of the print quality were very, very small dot gains - only visible if you looked really closely.
kudos to Apple for supporting this process and offering this service with the application. this is something i've wanted to do for years but never had the know-how.
i'd love to hear about anybody else's success stories and what tricks they used to get the job done.

I'm just about to order my first book (the large size) for a gift and very happy to read the success stories. Before I go ahead with the order, I have some questions:
I have compiled the book and it's 'ready to go' but I am concerned if the resolution will be good enough. Can I change the dpi setting to 300 at this point or will I lose all the work that I've done?
Also, there's one caption box that's displaying the ! error symbol but there's no text in that box and I don't want to put text in it. Is this a bug and should I just ignore it?
And finally, is there any way to spell check before submitting the order?

Im getting a folder with a "!" any success stories??

I have recieved both an unhappy icon and a this folder, what does it mean as apple give no direct answer. Alsohow do you phone up because they say you have to pay?? How do you organise to send back??

Yes, I believe that there are many success stories, included mine. I have managed to fix up few different iPods from my friends and family members with the same problem. Please read the following
Suggestions when you run into a problem of a Sad iPod icon or a folder icon with exclamation point with your iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

I have run out of ideas. The certificate is in trustore. I think my issues are related to that NullPointer but because it is Weblogic internal code I have no idea what's causing it. I know somehow node1 has to be different but I don't know where to look anymore.
After decompiling SSLContextManager getRealmName looks like this:
private final String getRealmName()
return runtimeAccess.getDomain().getSecurity().getRealm().getName();
What configuration am I missing?

Maybe this helps....
I would try to check the following steps:
- Are node2 and node3 on the same machine as node1?
- Is present and readable "/bea/keystores/MyTrust.jks" on each machine?
- Who signs the trust certificate in "MyTrust.jks"? I.E.: it is needed a trust chain to validate MyTrust?
From your decompilation it seems that one of these
- runtimeAccess;
- runtimeAccess.getDomain();
- runtimeAccess.getDomain().getSecurity();
- runtimeAccess.getDomain().getSecurity().getRealm();
is null ...

Any success stories? PS & Ai CS4 and Snow Leopard

I ran out of memory too many times on my G-5 iMac with 2.5 GIG of ram trying to run PS & Ai at the same time.
So I bought a Mac Pro tower (Quad Core- 2.66 w/ 10 GIG ram). I purchased this reconditioned (at the advice of Apple Care) so that I could downgrade the system from Snow Leopard to Leopard. It would have worked fine, but the folks in the reconditioning department decided to ship me a new machine instead of a reconditioned one. So now I CAN NOT down grade the system.
I want a system that works! I have lost too much time with all these PS crashes- so I thought it would be safe to go with Leopard + CS4 + tons of ram. Well that is not going to work. Apple is happy to take the computer back- but I have bought the ram & monitor from a third party retailer. (I am stuck with that.)
I would love to keep this tower if I can hear from some of you wonderful power users that now (after many months of problems) you have found Snow Leopard & CS 4 willing to play happily together.
And yes, I thought about CS 5- but from the posts in this forum- it sounds even worse that what I am going through right now. (Having to restart my computer after Photoshop crashes because I have been going back and forth between PS & Ai and one or the other refuses to give make my memory!)
Anybody have any success stories?

JV:
I would be lost without my Alien Skin filters!
I was working in a perfect world: new machine, clean install of 10.6.4
Then I loaded PS CS 4 & AI CS 4- then the filters.
The versions I have were for Leopard & Snow Leopard (downloaded 11/09).
I only add the fonts I need & have been careful that they are full licensed fonts from reprutable foundries.
I am not taking any chances with this machine.
I use my old G-5 iMac running 10.4.11 for everything else. I am a Freehand user so my plan all along was to keep that computer for that.
But I also keep all Microsoft & web surfing on that machine too.
There is a good article from Alien Skin regarding installation in Snow Leopard:

Good luck!
