Mixed Environment Possible

Before I spend time with a trial I would like to know if my scenario is conducive to an Intune implementation. I have approx 300 PCs in my company. 1/3 are on my local AD Domain. 30 PC are remote, not on the domain but have Outlook installed
and connect to our Exchange 2010 server for email via RPC/HTTP. The remaining PCs are remote, not on the domain and do not connect to the Exchange server.
Can I use Intune to manage all of these PCs?

Yes. There are no domain or location requirements for Intune management. Intune is 100% cloud based. For PCs, it uses an agent that you install on the managed systems that communicates with Intune to perform management functions.

Running Portlets in a Mixed Environment

We are running Oracle9iAS Portal on an HP Unix box. We have noticed that many of the third party portlets like Business Objects, and SiteScape are only supported on NT and Sun Solaris, and some on Linux and Compaq Tru64 Unix. Although they are not explicitly supported on HP-UX, would they still operate on HP-UX?
Alternatively, is it feasible to run these portlets in a mixed environment of NT and HP Unix? If the portlets are only supported on NT, then we would need a seperate instance of Portal on an NT box to support those portlets. Would we have to run two versions and instances of the 9iAS Application Server, and if so, would we have to run seperate instances of the Portal schema also?
so,
1) Is it feasible to run two instances of Portal and perhaps have the information on the two different servers (NT and HP-UX) be synchronized?
2) Or would it be possible to share the HP-UX Portal schema between the 9i Application Servers on both NT and HP-UX?

Henry,
Thank you for the thought. The windows machines are connected by wire to the LAN. At the moment, we are only supporting wireless for apple products.
I have spent a significant amount of time on this issue since the original post, and have concluded that my original plan is untenable. For this to work the way I had hoped it seems I would have to establish a central DHCP server and not use the "Distribute IP Addresses" capability of the AEBS. The subsequent question is, will wireless apple computers pick up a DHCP IP address in this setup?
Thanks again.

File web links in mixed environment

We're deploying macs on a pretty large scale in a mixed environment, and there are many internal sites that use the file:// header to link to files. Being windows -specific, this only works in Internet Explorer.
Is there an alternative to use with Firefox? I'm sure we could if/then the links for the different operating systems. The file servers are not running web services or ftp, unfortunately, so we would be limited to samba use.
Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.
Powerbooks Mac OS X (10.4.2) also use Minis

Here's an update on a possible solution. Firefox, by default, has local file viewing (file:// links) disabled. This can be enabled, and if the correct Windows directory is mounted, then it can be accessed on OS X by created a link such as
file:///Volumes/servername/dir/file.extension
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4) also use Mini

Remote desktop connection limit in windows 2003 administration as well as in the mixed environment of windows 2003 and 2008 servers

RDP protocol i.e. Remote desktop connection is configured to perfrom and manage software administration of ORACLE application and database servers which runs on windows 2003 server. Two sessions are allowed on each of these servers for database
administrators. The question is:
a) if network administrators who perform window server administration (50+) are included in
2 sessions limit or do they manage all these servers through Console Session which is separate from the remote desktop connection limits of 2 sessions.
b) How is the 2 sessions limit prescribed by microsoft (more of a licensing limit) handled in the mix environment of windows 2003 and 2008 server where all these servers are managed on the VMWARE?
avnish sharma

Hi Avnish,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default any windows server will provide 2 remote session for administration purpose only. No matter which administrator is accessing that server. If you will connect the console session then 3.One server is accessed by 3 Session (console + Remote +
Remote). When the particular server reached this limit then any working administrator will receive a message to log out as other user trying to access the session or if we had provided the setting then new user is restricted to login.
If you want more than 2 remote desktop session than you need to purchase TS\RDS CAL, install TS\RD Licensing role, activate it first and then configure CAL on it. There are 2 types of CAL available (USER & DEVICE). You can purchase CAL according to your
company requirements.
Hope it helps to understand!
Thanks.

Is clone Siebel server environment possible without using nsbrowse utility?

Hi, can someone give me a quick firm answer about my question "Is clone Siebel server environment possible without using nsbrowse utility?" We try to automate the Siebel server enviornment using cloning and reconfig on Linux while nsbrowse is a utility only runs on Windows. Is there some command line commands that can be used as a replacement of nsbrowse editor utility? This is very important for us to made the decision on automation strategy. Thank you very much!

"...hosted in a datacenter for high availability for when internal environment fails and the mail system is still up and running. "
Yes, Office 365 (Exchange Online) would work perfectly with DirSync.
If the requirement is for mail to work even when the internal environment is down, then do not implement AD FS because in that scenario, authentication is dependent on access to the domain controllers in the internal environment.
As for simply hosting one's own server in Azure, I just read an article that recommends against it:
- Exchange uses alot of resources. You would need a rather expensive configuration.
- You would still be responsbile for the updates.
- Your VPN connection would have to be very reliable. Exchange is constantly querying the domain controllers / global catalogs. EDIT - I see you wrote "without a VPN" - well, that's not possible. Exchange will never work directly across the Internet
like that.
I can't find the link to the article but there are others that also advise against that option:

Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

802.11n greenfield in a mixed environment

we plan to have mixed 802.11n deployment coexistence with a/b/g clients. But we want to have some classrooms or labs to run greenfield only where people request 100Mbps bandwidth to transfer large images. What is the best practice to design some small greenfield areas in the mixed environment? And what is the best way to prevent 802.11a users to associate to our 1140s?
Thanks!

7920 and 7921G mixed environment

Hi Team, have you any experiences with both 7920 and 7921G in the same WLAN? My Customer is using WLC440x w AP1242. How to Configuree the SSID Parameters regarding QOS and CAC, have you any hints? Thx, Regards, Michael

The big issue here is with CAC/TSPEC.
The 7921 gives precedence to TSPEC over QBSS for CAC as TSPEC can be utilized for inbound and outbound CAC, where QBSS is just for outbound dialing.
4.1 release for the Cisco WLAN controller has the load based CAC feature. This means it will account for all traffic and energy on the channel, not just the # of TSPEC clients on a given AP.
So if wanting to enable CAC/TSPEC in mixed environment of 7920 and 7921, would want to ensure you use 4.1 release and enable load based CAC.
If 7921 will be in G mode, it will send out the CTS to self for G protection, which the 7920 will adhere to.
The other is capacity. If you have calls at 11mbps or other 802.11b rates, then capacity will get reduced.
Typically can get up to 10 RTP streams per AP @ 11 mbps and up to 20 calls @ 24 mbps or higher.

Mixed Environment?

I am wandering about having a mixed environment for next september. Right now we have mostly G4 emacs/iMacs and iBooks. The iMacs are to slow to run leopard but the emacs and most of the iBooks meet the requirements for leopard. Our servers will be upgraded to leopard and we currently use OD/AD for management/authentication with network home dirs. Is there are problems with having client machines running 10.4.11 and 10.5.3(4?) and users going in between them?
Thanks
-Will

I've got 60+ machines running both 10.4.11 and 10.5.3, bound to both AD and OD. Even my servers are half 10.4 and 10.5.
The desktops are running 10.4 due to Digidesign (ProTools) and the servers are running 10.4 due to FileMaker Pro.
Now, there a couple of odd things you will see: Once a user logs into a 10.5 machine, he will have a downloads folder created. Also, if iCal is being used, (or really any of the iLife aps), I had some trouble getting everything to cooperate without all the latest updates.

WebLogic in mixed environment (Win/Solaris)

Hello,
We are using WebLogic 6.1 SP5 on Solaris. Typically, our
configuration looks like this: 1 Admin Server, 3 Managed Servers
functioning as part of a cluster.
We are slowly migrating everything to Windows. My question is till we
are completely on Windows, is it possible for us to run in a mixed
configuration i.e. have the Admin Server running on Solaris and the
Managed Servers on Windows? Or vice-versa i.e. have the Admin Server
running on Windows and the Managed Servers on Solaris?
If anybody has tried this and/or can point me to any information
related to this, that would be great.
Also, what are the things we should be careful about?
Is the WebLogic license for a specific platform i.e. Solaris/Windows
based? Or can we use the same license for both platforms?
Thanks
-Puja

Puja,
1) You can have weblogic in hetergenous environment. Just make sure that you have
all configurable paths correctly setup.
2) Weblogic License is specific to an IP address. Either you use the same IP or
submit a request for License transfer.
I hope it helps.

How to define your own context in an EJB environment - possibly distributed

I would like to setup a context (an object accissible per logical thread) in an EJB environment, but I am too unfamiliar with the options I may have.
My objective is to create a context in which I may set a value, then invoke a method on an object (which in turn invokes a method on another object and so forth) and eventually get back the value from the context. In other words I am trying to pass a value without passing it as a parameter. More specifically, I have written a JDBC Driver wrapper in which I want to intercept a number of method calls and based on the context settings perform one or the other JDBC preprocessing. The reason for not passing the values as parameters is to interfere as little as possible with any environment in which this code is to be integrated. I simply want to set the context and get the context (in my JDBC wrapper) without the surrounding code needing to change.
I have succeded partially by using a ThreadLocal object to hold my context. I can set and get the values to and from the context and actually pass values to my Driver wrapper without explicitly passing them as parameters. This works well in a non-EJB environment. My concern arises when I switch to the EJB environment.
If my context is set in a session bean, which invokes an entity bean, am I then guaranteed that these will execute in the same physical thread?
If the session and the entity beans are hosted on seperate machines then the answer would certainly be NO. Is there any way to have the container manage the context and propagate it accross containers when needed?
Any thoughts or suggestions on this topic are wellcome, even if they don't solve the issue entirely.
Looking forward to hear from you all!
/poul

In an EJB environment, you have absolutely no control over threading issues. (It was purposefully designed that way.) However, you do have your own little "sandbox" in the EJB ClassLoader - which is why there is a lot of use of the Singleton pattern for factories and (very carefully!) as small caching mechanisms. You might want to look into that avenue - but you have to know how your EJB vendor's ClassLoader scheme works (there does appear to be a convergence in this area) and you must be very sensitive to potential thread-blocking operations that may take a while to complete.

Permissions in a mixed environment

I'm providing support for a mixed operating environment with users using both OS X Lion and Windows Vista/7 in a small network environment (~5 devices). We recently installed a Mac Mini Server running OS X Lion Server, which has been configured to serve as a file server, along with running Parallels to provide some server support for applications (ie: ACT) where the business does not yet have a Mac-based solution. While I primarily deal with Windows workstations/servers, I've been tasked with helping get the Mac Mini Server configured.
I'm having difficulty properly configuring permissions for a network-wide shared folder - the network users call it "The Box" - where the users save documents intended to be shared with the other network users. The OS X clients connect to the shared folder via AFP, and are able to browse to the shared folder via Finder. The Windows clients connect to the shared folder via SMB, mapping a drive using \\ip-address\sharename . Each user has their own network credentials to connect to the server and access this shared folder, and all belong to the same security group.
The issue I'm having difficulty resolving pertains to file permissions. When a user saves a document to "The Box", the other network users are unable to open the document. An administrator is required to go in and adjust the unix permissions to allow the other network users to access a document once it has been placed in "The Box," which is reducing the amount of time the administrator in question can spend on regular business tasks. I have gone into the Server app and attempted adjusting permissions on the share and its propagation there, but that did not appear to be the fix required (or was configured incorrectly). Searching the web for solutions return results that applied to older versions of OS X Server, leaving me under-informed on the correct configuration required.
How should this be set up so that documents saved to the "The Box" share on the server have the necessary permissions for all users in the network to have read/write access to any current and future files saved in this location?

Set up a new group called "Workers" or something like that and put in the Users into that group. Now go to Server.app and assign the Group to your share ADDITIONALLY (not by changing the group you see in the Posix permissions) by hit the "+" sign. Give READ & WRITE to the group. The go to Server > Hardware > Storage and propagate the permissons to the included files & folders.
That should clear you problems by setting up and additional read & write permission by ACL, which is not overwritten, when a user saves a document to "The Box".

Exchange 2013 or SP1 Installaing Single CAS Role not installaing EWS virtual directory in mixed environment

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue while installing exchange 2013 sp1 in mixed(2007, 2010 and 2013) environment, the issue is: CAS role not installing/configuring "Echangeweb" (ews) virtual directory if i install only CAS role. If i install CAS role and mailbox
role then there is no issue, everything is fine.
In single CAS role installation, "EWS" folder is creating inside "Exchangeweb" folder but it shows empty folder.
If any one have any idea please let me know, why this is happening? was i am doing anything wrong while installing?
Regards,
Ravi Nalla

Hi Ravi,
Agree with Martina. I install Exchange 2013 CAS server and Mailbox server separately. "exchweb" folder exists on Mailbox server only. Here is the exchweb folder information on Mailbox server for your reference.
Here is the ews folder information on CAS server for your reference.
Hope it helps.

Outdoor High-Density/Mixed Environment Cisco AP/Antenna Choices for Data Coverage

We are looking to upgrade our non production use wireless network, which is for providing users typical internet data services. We don't have any wireless engineers on our team, we are primary wired networking guys. We are upgrading our wireless network, because we have a lot more user joining and our AP's in place have too high a client count which has diminsed throughput speeds for our customers. We have two seperate areas that provide this coverage, and both of them are under 1sq mile in size (one is 417,000 sq ft in size/280 estimate users and the other is 590,000 sq ft in size/700-800 users estimate). The environment is rugged (hot/humid/sandy), but flat. The users occupy pods/trailers/tents, so no structure is higher than 15ft.
Within the last year, more users are bringing in smart devices for data services, so our our network is a hybrid network now with a higher-density of users, and 802.11n AP's appear better equipped to handle this kind of load. We currently have a mixture of 1142AP's in side and 1252/1262 AP's outside place in NEMA enclosures, which are tied to two 3560/3750 PoE switches at each location. We don't have enough AP's in place to handle the additional client load to provide suitable data throughput speeds for typical internet data services, and are looking at possibly revamping the whole wireless network with different gear.
We are looking at possibly removing all previous AP's, and putting in place Cisco 1552e AP's (AIR-CAP1552E-A-K9) in both areas, using 3 Cisco dual antennas (AIR-ANT2547V-N) per AP's. We've seen an excel doc floating around on the web to help plan for how many AP's we might need, but the minimum area size for the excel spreasheet calculator is 1sq mile, which is a lot more than what we are looking at for each area. We've attempted to use the WCS in planning mode to map out how many 1552e AP's we need for each area (with our maps we created using Google Maps, and fairly accurate), and reviewed the heat signatures created and it appears the AP count is too high. We got around 20 AP's for one area and 33-35 AP's in the other area, which seems very high. We are looking at mounting the 1552e AP's to poles in each area at a height of around 12-15ft.
We don't know what the client load a 1552e AP can handle, for providing throughput speeds of 1.5Mbps to 5Mbps, to gauge how many AP's we really need, and whether going for using strictly 1552e AP's is the way too go. The 1552e AP's are geared for MESH networks, which is very different from what we have now. Can we set-up the 1552e AP's as stand alones? Do we have to use a different antenna for whatever AP is going to be the RAP? We are looking at using Power Injectors to provide power to the AP's.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

That setup is your best bet. What you have to look at is the number of hops. I would typically don't have more than two hops. That is map to map to rap. Remember that the 5ghz is your backhaul and you are basically daisy chaining your mesh. What you need is to make sure your 5ghz can link IP with a good backhaul speed. The 2.4ghz will of course cover more area so when you place these mesh AP's, make sure your backhaul has coverage to meet your backhaul requirements. Antennas will be the same for a map or rap. You will need a WLC to actually do mesh and it would be better that way. Even though you can get an autonomous version, it would be a dumb ap per say. Stick with mesh and a WLC and you should be fine.
