Microsoft 2008 Problems?

Is anyone else having MS 2008 Problems with the Mac? I recently just downloaded it onto my computer and everytime I use it seems like it just freezes up on me within 5-10 minutes... I am using Leopard... Actually about to upgrade my OS to Snow Leopard, but if this is causing me trouble im about to move back to 2007 (for the mac of course...)

There is no Office 2007 for the Mac. There was 2004.
2008 is causing problems for people if they don't apply the latest Microsoft patches from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ or if they have issues with fonts:
http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
Or if there are other issues with background applications.
Snow Leopard upgrading should be done after you make your 2008 stable.

Cisco Nexus to use Radius AAA authentication using Microsoft 2008 NPS

I have a Nexus 7010 running
Just wondering if you can help me with something. I'm having an issue with command authorization thru our aaa config. We don't have a problem authenticating its command authorization that is not working. From what I have seen and read Nexus NX-OS 6.x does not have any commands for aaa authorization unless you are configuring TACACS+. My basic config is below if you can help it would be much appreciated.
>>ip radius source-interface mgmt 0
>>radius-server key XXXXX
>>radius-server host X.X.X.X key XXXXX authentication accounting
>>radius-server host X.X.X.X key XXXXX authentication accounting aaa
>>authentication login default group Radius_Group aaa authentication
>>login console local aaa group server radius Radius_Group
>>    server X.X.X.X
>>    server X.X.X.X
>>    source-interface mgmt0
Also does anyone know how to configure Microsoft 2008 NPS as a Raduis server to work with Nexus? I have read a few post that suggest changing the
shell:roles="vdc-admin" in the Attribute Value field in the RADIUS server
Does anyone know if this works????
Thanks

I have never done this before with ACS but not with NPS. However, you are in the right path. Nexus uses NX-OS which is different in some regards to regular IOS. One of those differences is the AAA setup. In NX-OS you assign users to roles. So for full access you will need to return the following attributes from your Radius server:
Attribute: cisco-av-pair
Requirement: Mandatory
Value: shell:roles*"network-admin vdc-admin"
For more information take a look at this link:

Hope this helps

AppleWorks versus MicroSoft 2008 for Mac

Hi ALL,
How is it possible to open AppleWorks files with MicroSoft 2008 for Mac ??
Maybe it is possible to open these files with Excel.
I have a lot of older files I need to open in any application now I running Tiger.
I need these files again, ones these files was a part of a project that is activating in praxis now.
Any help to gave me a good hind or advice ??

AppleWorks is available on the CDs which where delivered with you three old machines.
The best source would be the one delivered with the G4 machine.
Insert the CD in the CD tray of the G4 machine, open its icon.
I assumes that you will see a folder entitled "bundled applications"
Double click it
respond to the asked questions and navigate to a folder containing AppleWorks installer.
Run it to install a clean AppleWorks on the machine.
Copy this folder on a CD for future use (copy also the set of fonts installed with AppleWorks).
Copy the complete AppleWorks folder on the new machine in the folder entitled "Applications"
Copy the fonts in the folder entitled "Library:Fonts"
I assumes that it will be AppleWorks in a version numbered between 2 and 2.4
Using Disk Utility, create a disk image whose size is 150 Mbytes
Name it AppleWorks 62old then copy the entire contents of the folder AppleWorks 6"
After that, update the installed AppleWorks in version 6.2.9 from
"http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/appleworks629formac.html"
If you are using the continental US version download from the button entitled 15.8MB at right top.
For other versions use the updaters described in plain English.
The old version in the disk image may be useful if you have some old files which AW 6.29 refuse to open. It's a bug which doesn't strike older versions.
There are other kind of install disks.
On some, there is a "standard" folder named "AppleWorks 6"
On other there is a hidden folder entitled "Image" but as you have the machine you will be able to install the program from the installer itself. I don't remember if there is an installer dedicated to bundled programs but I'm sure that with a bit of patience you will find it.
Good luck.
Don't forget the contents of the license:
one program = one machine. So, if you grab AppleWorks from the G4, you must remove it from this machine.

There are lower cost or free alternatives to MS Office.
IWork is very good and converts Word files easily. If you only need Numbers or Pages, you can purchase them seperately. There is also Neo-Office and OpenOffice.

Microsoft 2008 NPS Radius + wireless controller.

Hi,
We have implemented new Microsoft 2008 NPS Radius for authentification wireless controller.
i am seeing RADIUS server x.x.x.x:1812 failed to respond to request (ID 119) for client ............. in controller. But there no logs hitting to the NPS server either failed or success or other related.
Layer 3 comminucation is fine between controller & server.
As per the debug logs,controller forwarding request NPS server "Successful transmission of Authentication Packet tp ......NPS proxy ".
But there is no further key exchange or successful authentication logs, any idea on this?
Thanks
Shrinivas.K

Download NTRadPing and test to see if your radius is working. You can put a sniffer on and see if you see packets coming out of the wlc and radius. You can always remove the aaa from the wlc and add it back on and also remove and add back on the wlc as a aaa client on the radius server.
Thanks,

Mac pro 8 core early 2008 problem is you have to unplug

Mac pro 8 core early 2008 problem is you have to unplug for 2-3hrs before using again.

Overheating? Install a temperature monitor like iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Temperature Monitor, Hardware Monitor, etc. and see if you are overheating.
When was the last time you blew out the dust from inside your machine?
I don't understant the "unplug" statement. Do yo mean just turn off?

Ive heard that lion is crap, escpecially because microsoft is having issues. I have 2008 office currently running fine and want to know if i will have issues when i transfer to lion. Is there going to be a problem carrying over microsoft 2008 to lion?

I need microsoft big time. Should i wait to see updates or will there be no problems for me? Thanks!

No, Lion is not crap. Are there problems? Yes, any major
system update will have problems. As for Office, the biggest
complaints are coming from those people with Office 2004 or
earlier, since these were Power PC based apps. Lion no longer
supports any PPC apps. As far as I know, 2008 should be okay.
There may be some issues though anyway.
The dropping of PPC support was stated the day Lion was
announced as the next OSX. I guess people just chose to ignore
it or were living under a rock.

Microsoft Office 2008 problems

I cannot load Microsoft Word or Powerpoint on my laptop. The icon appears on the dock, then disappears without ever running the program. Due to the fact my laptop's cd drive is broken, I can't try reinstalling, although I have tried reinstalling a back up copy of the application from a USB.
This is exact error report:

Is it posible you never really installed it on your hard drive but rather always ran from the cd?

SQL 2008 Problem Calling an SP on an Oracle 10G Linked Server

Hi everyone
I've read through a number of posts on many sites about this issue but haven't found anything that has helped me so far. The machine I'm using is running Microsoft SQL Server 2008 64bit and the linked server I've created to Oracle 10G is using OraOLEDB.Oracle. If I test the connection in SQL Management Studio it succeeds and for any queries I have using OpenQuery to select from the Oracle DB I have no problem getting results.
The Oracle 32bit client and 64bit client versions are installed on the machine.
My problem is that I need to exec an Oracle SP which in turn inserts into various Oracle tables. I previously had this all working fine on 32bit SQL Server 2000 installation connected to Oracle 10G. Using the same code in SQL Server 2008 I get the following error:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot process the object "{CALL INTF.INTF_TW_PO_REQ_INTERFACE.MAIN(NULL, 15.000000, 0.000000, 'BLPO0099998', 'BLPO0099998', '', '', 39804, 21883, 'BLPO0099998', 249, 1, 950, 'Main', 190506, 37336, '1', TO_DATE( '20090706','YYYYMMDD' ), TO_DATE( '20090706','YYYYMMDD' ), 'INCOMPLETE',37336, {RESULTSET 1, P_Success})}". The OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "ORACLE" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object
The call is made by the following piece of code in SQL:
SET @execCmd = N'SELECT
P_Success
FROM
OPENQUERY( ORACLE, '''+ @oracleCmd + ''')';
EXECUTE (@execCmd);
Where @oracleCmd = {CALL INTF.INTF_TW_PO_REQ_INTERFACE.MAIN(NULL, 15.000000, 0.000000, ''BLPO0099998'', ''BLPO0099998'', '''', '''', 39804, 21883, ''BLPO0099998'', 249, 1, 950, ''Main'', 190506, 37336, ''1'', TO_DATE( ''20090706'',''YYYYMMDD'' ), TO_DATE( ''20090706'',''YYYYMMDD'' ), ''INCOMPLETE'',37336, {RESULTSET 1, P_Success})}
I also tried using the below snippet from another post I found and got no joy either.
declare @result varchar(255)
exec ('BEGIN
?:= your_SP_Name(''arg1'', ''arg2'', etc);
END;
',@result OUTPUT) at your_LinkedServerName;
select @result;
OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "ORACLE" returned message "ORA-06550: line 3, column 7:
PLS-00222: no function with name 'INTF_TW_PO_REQ_INTERFACE' exists in this scope
ORA-06550: line 3, column 1:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored".
I can't figure out why it doesn't work in SQL 2008 when it worked fine in SQL 2000 - PLEASE HELP!
Thank you
Alida Hope

Why development on 10g and production on 8i? Either both should be 8i or both should be 10g.
If you will keep production on 8i and development on 10g then you cannot stop such errors as there are features that are enabled by default in 10g and both the versions have very big differences.
Just go ahead and install 8i.

Office 2008 Problems

I purchased my MacBook about a month ago. Over the past couple of weeks I have been noticing that whenever I use Word or Powerpoint my computer will slow down, the fan will get loud, and the computer gets hot. The past day or two my computer has been completely freezing up when I'm in Powerpoint. I made sure I have all of the updates downloaded and everything. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not sure what to do...

I'm having a similar problem with Office X, but only with Word. Sometimes Word will just chew up my CPU and the fan kicks into high gear. I rebooted and even reinstalled the software but the problem persists.
Yesterday, I was editing a document and the document would occasionally "lock", that is, I would scroll up and down but nothing would happen until I clicked the mouse and then the document scrolled up and down, as if it were catching up with my keystrokes. It was very frustrating.
At times, I could delete text but couldn't add text without clicking somewhere else in the document and back again. Sometimes I would have to do a File -> Save before it would let me continue typing. It was as if it was always 1 keystroke behind or something, waiting for the previous "process" to finish before allowing me to proceed. All this time, of course, the CPU and fan are chugging away.
I fried my hard drive last week when my MacBook overheated and I'm sure Word was the culprit. I will not run Word without the Activity Monitor open and never leave Word the active window if I step away from my computer. Hiding it or putting another process in the foreground will reduce Word's CPU usage
I also had a footer that I couldn't delete. I had to copy the entire document into a new file and re-do the formatting, headers, and footers.
And here's another odd thing. When I launch Word, it shows up as "Microsoft Word" in the Activity Monitor, but just for a second, then the process name changes to "(null)". I can tell it's Word because it still has the Word icon next to it.
I was going to upgrade to Office 2004 or Office 2008 but it doesn't sound that that will solve the problem.

CSS - Load balancing to Microsoft 2008 Sharepoint Application

We are tring to load balance using the CSS 11503 to two Servers running Microsoft Sharepoint 2008. Everything is working fine as far as load balancing is cocerned. But what we want is if the Microsoft Sharepoint 2008 Application is down one one server then we do not want any request for this application to be sent to this server. What sort of keepalive should we be using, because TCP port 80 is still up and responds when the Microsoft Sharepoint 2008 Application is down on this server.
I do not know much about how Microsoft Sharepoint 2008 Application interfaces / interacts with IIS and port 80, etc.
Any suggestions?

Partial Config:
===============
service FRED30
ip address x.x.x..100
protocol tcp
port 80
redundant-index 3
keepalive port 80
keepalive type http
active
service FRED31
ip address x.x.x.101
protocol tcp
port 80
redundant-index 4
keepalive port 80
keepalive type http
active
When we do the above where we have
"keepalive type http"
and then do a show keepalive we get the State as DOWN - why? But if we take out the keepalive type http command from the above services then we don't see the state as DOWN.
But even when it says DOWN we can still connect to port 80 without problem.

Microsoft Word problem! HELP!

Today I tried to open Microsoft Word and I got this message:
"Microsoft Word cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Word works with this version of Mac OS X. You may Need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X."
Then I tried to open the other Microsoft programs & I got the same message. I've had my MacBook Pro for about 2 months now so I'm still kind of new with this. I didn't get the trial version of these programs, I bought the CD to install them.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!

You don't need all of them. The ones you must apply (assuming you're starting from 12.0.0) are:
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 1 (12.1.0)
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 2 (12.2.0)
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.2.5 Update
However, you can't install updates that are older than your current version. What you should do is:
1) First, back up you Office files; PowerPoint, Word, Excel and the Entourage database. The last is the Main Identity folder in your user account.
2) On the CD, and also in the Office folder on the hard drive is a small app named "Remove Office". Run that to remove every trace of Office from the hard drive.
3) Reinstall Office from the CD.
4) Apply the available updates. After the initial install, you can run any of the Office apps and choose Help > Check for Updates. It will let you know what you need to download so you're not wasting your time on incremental downloads you don't need.
5) Restore your files if necessary. Make sure to put the "Main Identity" folder back where it was. Entourage will pick it up and continue on without asking to create a new user mail account.
