Multiple network location servers possible?

As we all know the network location server is an important part of any Direct Access deployment to ensure that DA clients can know whether they are connected directly to the internal LAN or connecting from external via DA.
I have seen discussion about deploying the network location server (simple blank IIS/Apache web site) in an NLB configuration but is there any way to have multiple network location servers for high availability reasons? During the DA configuration
process you can only input a single dns record for the NLS so it does not appear possible. Has anyone found a way to do this?

Hi,
Yes it's a good practice to have NLB in high-availability. So a single FQDN with NLB or HLB as high-availability solution. Major problem is when DirectAccess clients connected on LAN cannot join the Network Location server. They consider they are connected
on Internet not on LAN and try to activate DirectAccess. In such situation, If users can disable DirectAccess (so no force tunneling) they can solve the problem. Once NLS is back online, computer automatically change the firewall profile to domain.

Shared Reviews Multiple Network Locations

Hi,
I started using the Shared Review process in Acrobat X and the workflow is great, but when I want to send a different PDF (i.e. a whole entirely separate project) out for a shared review to different reviewers, it seems the XML folder is still being created in the first network folder I chose. I would like to have some Shared Reviews in folder "A" and some in folder "B", but I haven't been able to do that successfully. Is it possible?
ZeroZone

When you create the new review, are you entering a "different" network path in the Shared Review wizard, or using the same profile which got created during the creation of first review? If you enter a new network folder path, the new review will use that folder path to create XML files.

Is it possible to create a configuration profile that will install multiple network printers and their associated drivers

Is it possible to create a configuration profile that will install multiple network printers and their associated drivers?
I was not able to find profile manager on my employer's installation of 10.6 Server. Is this only a feature of 10.7/10.8 server?

10.6 server does not have profile manager, profile manager is only available in 10/7 and 10.8 server
for 10.6 server you'll need to use wgm and server admin
printer management with 10.6, I recommend you read the relevant server manuals regarding
print server and user management, printer management

HT2712 Is it possible to set up network locations in such a way that other preferences also get set? Specifically, I usually have my Software Updates set to download in the background, but when I am using my iPhone's Personal Hotspot I'd like to disable

Or indeed is some other way possible, such as using an Applescript to detect when I am using my personal hotspot on my (limited data package!) 3g iPhone (via wi-fi or USB etc) and then switch off the automatic downloads until I revert back to my regular connection?
Apologies -seem to have posted this in the worng forum.

But Software Update won't be an available setting choice.
But I'd turn off automatic Updates anyway, & just check once a week or once a month to see what's available.

Wireless not working - can't locate servers on more than one network

I am having a really strange problem with my wireless on my iBook that I'm hoping someone out there has had before, or has ideas for fixing.
This began a few days ago. My computer could get on wireless networks, but when I tried to use my web browser, it couldn't locate any servers. I at first suspected it was the network that I was using that was the problem, but I've since gone to several cafes and my university to try to use their internet. I get this problem about 50% of the time, despite the fact that others are using the same networks with no problems. Sometimes a network will work on and off (ie it will work fine at first, then not be able to locate servers) and sometimes they never work at all.
I'm wondering if there's any kind of reinstallation or resetting of settings that I can do short of reinstalling OS X (or if a reinstall would even work). Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Again, I have already determined that it's not the networks I'm using that are the problem (and I don't have my own internet, and can't go fiddling with router settings at the cafes around me!).
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

JerryMc, Welcome to the discussion area!
Is the AirPort Express (AX) the only router you have? If so, you need to make sure that it is configured to "share a single IP address".

Network Locations not working with Multiple SSIDs

I've had a MacBookPro 15 for three years. Started with 10.5 and upgraded to 10.6. I just received a new MacBookPro 15 with Lion 10.7.
The Issue:
On 10.5 and 10.6 I use multiple network locaitons. One for work, one for Home and one for Roaming. I have a "Work" SSID at work and at Home. I also have a "Home" SSID at home.
So basically, when I'm home I can select "work" to be on my hardware VPN router and connect directly to the office. Then, when I'm not working, I can switch to the "home" location and automatically connect to my home network and not have big brother watching me surf the web.
In 10.7 this no longer works. All of the WIFI settings are them same in both locations. When I'm on "home" I add the SSID for home and it connects. I then turn off the wifi and switch locations (same as I do in 10.6). Then I turn WIFI back on, and it connects to my home SSID. I go to the wireless settings, and add the work SSID and delete the home SSID. I shut off wireless, change back to home and turn it back on. I go to wireless settings, and the only SSID is the one I added under the work location.
Has anyone else seen this change in behavior?
Dan

I prefer to continue the way I've been using it for 3 years rather than switch now. The work location has the WIFI adapter as primary so that the default gateway is the wifi network even if I have a network cable plugged in. This allows me to use my "work" network, but I can still share content with my local home network and also print to my local printer (not on my work network).
So, this solution really doesn't work for me. And yes, I know you can only connect to one at a time, but again, those are not the only settings that I change when switching locations. Those are the only settings that are broken.

Copying Multiple Folders (various servers) to a single location with a CRC or MD5 check

Hi Gurus!
Any suggestions or insight on how I can do the following. I need to copy multiple folder locations (and subfolders) from multiple servers to one server with a shared volume that will contain a folder for each of the copies. This is for
data preservation. I also need to do a CRC check or MD5 check on the process. More or less like something below.
Source
Destination
\\SERVER1\USER1
\\SERVER5\DATA1
\\SERVER2\USER2                             \\SERVER5\DATA2
\\SERVER3\USER3                             \\SERVER5\DATA3
\\SERVER4\USER4                             \\SERVER5\DATA4
Thanks

The copy process has its own checksums within, but do you mean an overall validation once you're done? If so, seems like this is what you want, right?

Cant login multiple network accounts on the same client?

Setup:
I have created a simple Lion Server on a new i7 Mac Mini. I have configured Open Directory in Master mode and have setup 4 user accounts. I have enabled the File Sharing service and checked the "Make available for home directories" option on the "Users" file share. I have configured each of the 4 user accounts to use this location as the home folder. I have connected my client machines (all OSX Lion) to the Network Account Server.
Problem:
I can log one user into the client machine, but when using "Fast User Switching" and logging on as the second user I get the following error:
"You are unable to log in to the user account "guestaccount" at this time. Loggin to the account failed because an error occured"
In the console if I search for that user account the related error message is:
11-07-31 12:30:54.993 PM authorizationhost: ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] | PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://inntaserver01.local/Users, homedir=/Network/Servers/inntaserver01.local/Users/guestaccount, name=guestaccount ) returned 16
Any thoughts as to why the Home Folder "mounter" failed in this scenario?

Historically you have never been allowed to use Fast User Switching to log in multiple network logins on the same client machine. This certainly applied with Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. I have not yet personally tried this with Lion.
I believe that the underlying reason for this not being allowed is down to how AFP volumes are mounted. The AFP mount becomes 'owned' by the user that triggers the login. With a network login the first user becomes the owner and this means subsequent attempted network logins are denied access to that share and hence cannot access their home directories.
With Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard servers, one could configure network home directories to be shared via NFS instead of AFP. NFS gets treated a lot different in terms of mounting, and is done more at a system level than a user level. While again I have not personally tried Fast User Switching with NFS shared home directories, this approach is specifically recommended by the authors of AquaConnect (a Macintosh Terminal Server solution) in order to allow multiple logins on the same Terminal Server. This seems to be for the same underlying reason. Using NFS does certainly work for use with AquaConnect and also works for the competing iRAPP Terminal Server product as well.
Unfortunately, Lion Server while it can be made to run an NFS server, will not let you configure using NFS for sharing home directories. I have actually reported this as a 'bug' in Lion server.
Neither the authors of AquaConnect or iRAPP have actually tested this scenario with Lion server yet, but AquaConnect do plan to investigate it. It could make it considerably more difficult to use their products.
So in summary, using NFS to share network home directories in theory would avoid the problem and can be done with a Tiger/Leopard/Snow Leopard server, but cannot be done with a Lion server. It is possible however to mix Lion with older server versions. This might for some people be a possible workaround.
PS. A bonus side-effect of using NFS shared home directories was that this allowed badly written software like Adobe's applications which are otherwise notorious for having major issues with network logins and home directories to work without errors. As an example Adobe Acrobat Pro introduced a bug in version 7.0 which prevented it being able to print-to-PDF (one of the major reasons to buy Acrobat Pro). It tooks two years for them to eventually fix this in Acrobat Pro 8.1 (I know because I spent that two years nagging them to fix it and was a beta tester). Unfortunately they then reintroduced the bug in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Fortunately I discovered this side-effect got round the issue although a clunkier workaround was also possible for Snow Leopard clients by redirecting certain folder paths.

SAP CRM with multiple MS Exchange Servers

Hi all,
I would like to use a SAP CRM 7.0 system with multiple MS Exchange servers. It is possible to forward emails from these Exchange servers to the SAP WAS via SMTP, so that SAP ERMS functionalities can be used to process the emails?
Thank you,
Till

The answer is yes. You need to just setup the exchange servers to route the e-mail to the inbound SMTP port setup on the CRM WAS server. You will then configure the inbound e-mail address on the WAS to map to the ERMS service.
CRM does not care how the message got sent to it, it just needs to be dropped off at that location.
Take care,
Stephen

Multiple Lotus Mail Servers

Hi,
In our landscape there are multiple Lotus Mail Servers.
The requirement is to give a direct link to their Mailboxes.
I understood that this can be realized by a URL iview to the Mailbox and using User Mapping through a HTTP System.
Now I am trying to findout the best practice to give access to their mail boxes.I have identified the following...
        1. A page where we place multiple links directing to the different mail servers and the user has to pickup his mail server.
        2. Put the mail server details in the user profile and code a small application which will read the details and will redirect to the respective mail server.
    I would request you to suggest and share your experiences.
Thanks & Regards
Mrutyunjay

Hi Mrutyunjay,
I would suggest that you go for the second option. This saves the user a unecessary click. Create a custom attribute that allows you to determine the user's mail server. Create as many system objects as you have Lotus mail servers and have a look into SAP Library to find out how to use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/21/dfd241cb76c417e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Dynamic System Resolution service</a>.
<i>The Dynamic System Resolution feature enables you to create a service that selects at runtime the system to which an iView connects.
Generally, an iView connects to a system that is defined at design time. With dynamic system resolution, an iView can select at runtime from among several systems, based on the location of the current user, network traffic or any other logic.
For example, for a specific iView, you may want users in Europe to connect to a system in Germany while users in the United States connect to a similar system in New York.</i>
Best regards,
Martin

File associations in Windows 8.1 for applications on a network location

Hi,
From Windows 7 to Windows 8 it has been done alot of changes regarding file file assocations. It seem that the main reason was security and was "patched" by having Windows read the hash for the applications instead of where the application was
located.
but there seem to be some major hicups and there is limited info on the web covering these issues.
First issue: when running: Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml and then creating a GPO configuration pointing to
thi XML file. With this feature only common file extensions is supported and when users are changing to another computer, these settings is not possible to syncronize using roaming profiles.
Second issue: In the appassoc.xml file applications must be either appid(metro app) or common application on local harddrive to be registered and not a .EXE
file on a network location.
It seems a little strange if this is the case and if there is no other options for administratos to set file associations in more flexible ways. Does anyone have some more info on
this topic other than these link:

https://keithga.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/file-associations-in-windows-8/

Hi Primeid,
You could use Group policy for file associations or you could deploy the xml file during image deployment. However as you mentioned that the file associations only applies to common application on local hard drive or metro app.

We understand your confusion about this, but we hope you understand that using network location for file association deployment is highly insecure and it is out of our recommendation since the content in that network location could be changed without any
notification or permissions constraint.
Thanks for your understanding.

Saving file to network location

Hello all of you,
I encounter an issue with InDesign CS5 when it comes to opening and saving files to a network location. I added my company's ftp server to Windows 7 and it appears correctly in the My computer overview (there's an additional line besides the hard discs, DVD player, et cetera). The connection to the server functions fine, no issues here. No problem exists when opening files from this server from within InDesign; I can do whatever I want. Only when I try to save a file the network location isn't displayed anymore within the My computer overview in the InDesign "Save as" dialog box. The network location however appears in the pull-down menu at the top of the dialog box (and nested as part of My computer ...), but when I pick it there, it won't show the context of the server. Additionally logging onto the server (it's IP-based and anonymous logon) doesn't change a thing. Trying to save in the empty server space InDesign returns a "Can't save here" error message.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Building the document locally and then copying back to the server isn't a solution, because all external content that is linked in the document resides on the server.
Best regards,
Luc Peulen

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Building the document locally and then copying back to the server isn't a solution, because all external content that is linked in the document resides on the server.
Scott is basically right. Lots of ID users work over network connections without issue, but if something is going wrong, it's the first place to look. I wouldn't have thought it possible to work in InDesign over a FTP connection!
If you can get Windows to access that server as if it were just another drive (using "Map network drive" in Explorer) then it should work normally. However, a generic Adobe phone tech wouldn't help you figure out why it wouldn't work - there are simply too many variables in a network environment for a generic first-level tech to figure out.
In the short term, the only solution I can suggest is:
Retrieve all of that external content that is linked in the document, and the InDesign document, at the same time, & store it on your local hard drive.
Do your work.
Save & package.
Upload the entire package back to the server.
Long-term, you'd need to talk to your own IT staff to troubleshoot the connection between your workstation and the FTP server. If you can get information about your network from them to post here, I bet that someone will make suggestions to pass on to your IT staff that will actually work.

Invalid Credentials: The Network location cannot be reached

I am working with MDT 2010, and I am getting the error, "Invalid Credentials: The Network location cannot be reached." When I run the LiteTouch 64 bit, I don't think the network is working. It's like there is not driver for the network card in
the LiteTouch 64 bit to make the network connection. When I hit F8 key, it brings a DOS box up for testing, and I found out these things.
- I can ping the loop back address 127.0.0.1.
- Cannot use the net use command to connect to the server share \\server01\DeploymentSahre$.
- I can not ping by name or IP address the server that is holding my Deployment Share.
This is the first time I am working with this technology, and I was following a guide off the Technet library. It almost like I am missing the driver for the network card. I have Windows Deployment installed on server01, the server will answer,
and I am able to put in my user name and password, it accepts and starts loading.
I did figure out how to inject the network drivers into Windows Deployment for the Motherboard I was using, do I have to do the same thing here again? MDT is using the Windows Deployment Images on the server01; MDT is setup on server01. I would have
thought that since the driver was already injected into the Image MDT would use that as well. So, do I need to put a driver into the LiteTouch 64bit image and if I do how do I do that?
thanks very much for your help,
Rick Arnold

Rick Arnold Arnoldconsult, MCP

If you haven't updated the deployment share after adding the proper drivers to OOBD then your LiteTouch boot images will not have them included. Just right click the deployment share and click on Update Deployment Share, it will take a while but it
will rebuild the boot images with the drivers you've included in OOBD. Then it's just a matter of either recreating the flash drives or loading the updated image into WDS.
Another thought:
We had an issue with some HP's that had Main Boards replaced. the BIOS time was WAY off and the UUID wasn't setting itself because the network was denying it access to our servers (because of the horribly wrong time). Once we corrected the time
in the BIOS everything ran fine. The error we got while trying to do the deployment was the same as what you describe and we could still ping various machines on the network too.

Inspected stock posting to multiple storage location without batch

Hi,
At the time of Usage Decision, I want to post the inspected stock to multiple storage location i.e., Rejected Stock to Scrap Storage Location, Qualified Stock to Unrestricted Use Storage Location.
Quick response will be appreciated.
Anandkumar KS

The scrap line has no storage location since that stock is typically written off and scrap cost center is defined in configuration.
A possible alternative is to set up VMENGE08 and VMENGE09 with the same material movements you want to use. You obviously aren't using the 553 movement type as that writes off the material. That could give you two lines to use for your scraping. I can't remember if these stock posting lines give you the storage location option or not and I don't have a sandbox available to test today. If you need to post more then two grades in one inspection lot, you'll have to do the first two postings, save the UD, then come back in and do a second posting for the next two grades.
Read the configuration help file you'll find in confg for "Define Inventory Postings" under the QM config.
You can also change the displayed names of the stock posting lines. That's explained in the config file as well.

Mail: How to check an account ONLY from specific Network Location?

I use multiple macs, and use my .mac account to synchronize mail accounts, rules, smart mailboxes, signatures, etc.
However, I'd actually like to specifically NOT check certain accounts on some machines.
Even though the account settings are synced, I thought I might be able to take advantage of "Network Locations" to create specific network locations like HOME or WORK and thusly create a combination of mail and network location preferences that would solve my particular need. The idea being that it would allow me to specify in mail's settings (somehow) that a particular mail account should only check the server for messages if the current network location is actually WORK, and if the network location was HOME, it should just not check.
Some other apps (ie: Snerdware's Groupcal) will check the network location setting and not perform checks if the current location is not the expected one.
So the question is, is there some way to make Mail.app 2.1.3 on Tiger do this?

30 messages displayed is the default, but you can change that. On your email page, under "settings" is an option to change the number of messages per page. One option is "no limit."
