Need to understand Site Assignment and Content Location Boundary Groups

Okay I am very confused about something that I am seeing that is throwing my understanding of how Boundary Groups work completely off.
Here is my dilemma:
I created two boundary groups, a site assignment and a content location boundary group. The site assignment boundary group contains all of my sites. The content location boundary group I have just has my datacenter systems where the DP installed on my site
server is being referenced in that boundary group.
Now, I had two pilot deployments. The very first pilot deployment I had I created a content location boundary group for that site and referenced the local DP and when I deployed software updates to the clients there, I kept getting timeout errors. The second
pilot deployment i had, I totally forgot to create a content location boundary group, but the software updates installed perfectly fine on those clients.
What the heck is going on here?
I thought if a content locatoin boundary group was NOT created for a remote site, then those clients would not be able to receive any content at all, period.
Can someone please, please explain to me what is going on here?
Thanks everyone

A couple of additional comments here that build on the previous by Peter and Nick.
Site assignment has nothing to do clients finding content so while it's good that you have a site assignment boundary group and even that you mentioned it, it has nothing to do with what's going on here. Also as a semantic side note, when referring
to remote locations, you shouldn't use the word "site" when discussing ConfigMgr because "site" means something very specific and could cause confusion. I typically try to use the word "location".
Clients that do not fall into a boundary within a content location boundary group automatically fall into a "default" boundary marked as slow in a default "boundary group". Neither of these is defined anywhere in the console or the product
so default isn't exactly the right word here, but it does convey the meaning. Thus, not being in a defined boundary does not mean that clients cannot get content, just that they will only get content allowed for slow boundaries or where fallback is enabled.

I need help understanding export options and optimizing for web

I have been using FCP X for a short while now and have a pretty good grasp on the editing capabilities. What I'm having a horrible time figuring out is the export/share options. The videos I create are typically approximately 1 minute in length and get posted to a web site (we have our own CMS and video player so I'm not using YouTube or Vimeo or anything like that). In order to post them I need them to be MP4s and then I have to create .webm and .ogv files. The source material I work with is generally great, high quality stuff, so I end up with very large output files from the initial FCP share master file options.
When I use MPEG Streamclip to make my MP4s I end up with files that are still quite large and I can't seem to ever get the file size manageable without losing tons of quality. I do not have Compressor, though if that will solve my problem I will put in for the expense of it. What I'm trying to understand is what sorts of settings I should be trying out to get my file sizes to be manageable without completely compromising my quality. And I know this can be done, because the company I work for pays for a great quantity of video work each year (from an outside production firm) and the clips provided are beautiful in quality and small in file size -- for example, I recently worked on a video and got it into the 40MB range before quality went to crap, working off the same material the production company we do work with had theirs down into the teens and looking beautiful!
To throw an even greater wrench in the works, I am working off a mac. But when my boss, on a pc, saves the mp4s I create (raw files -- not what is posted to the web) locally on his machine and views them from there the sound is always off a tad and the people in the videos look like they're lip synching.
Any advice on either of these is MUCH appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out properly for months, and only today decided to stop seeing if someone else had the same question and just post my own.

Thank you Karsten, this was helpful I have utilized the Quality slider and the frame size options before though with limited results. I've never messed with the Limit Date Rate option as I don't know what I'm doing with it, I see you put 5Mbps. Is that a typical setting that I could use?
Using stream info, here's info on my original source file:
Stream: Charles_0023_2.mov
Duration: 0:00:51
Data Size: 96.51 MB
Bit Rate: 15.77 Mbps
Video Tracks:
H.264, 1920 × 1080, 29.97 fps, 15.64 Mbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 127 kbps
Stream Files:
Charles_0023_2.mov (96.51 MB)
As a comparison, here's the info on a similar clip that the company we sometimes use created:
Stream: Charles_0019_4.mp4
Duration: 0:00:49
Data Size: 4.66 MB
Bit Rate: 0.80 Mbps
Video Tracks:
JVT/AVC Coding, 710 × 400, 29.97 fps, 635 kbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 162 kbps
Stream Files:
Charles_0019_4.mp4 (4.66 MB)
I'm fine with bringing the frame size down some and modifying the limit data rate, but sometimes I feel like I'm forcing my video into something it's not and the quality suffers -- this is where my understanding of video work breaks down LOL. Any suggestions of how I can get my .mov into something like the the .mp4 above?
Also have you had any experience with mp4s not playing back properly on pcs?
Again, thank you!

Need help understanding how ipv4 and ipv6 co-exist

I'm trying to understand something that happened in our network recently. Current, we're all ipv4 based, but a few machines here and there have ipv6 enabled by mistake. Everything has been working ok, but recently we had some dhcp issues. I'm trying to understand how exactly ipv6 and ipv4 work together.
Questions:
- if we have workstations with ipv6 enabled but no dhcpv6 servers, does the ff02::1:2 multicast address exist on the network? If something starts up a dhcpv6 server somewhere, would that explain why several workstations have started sending out dhcpv6 solicit messages?
- If workstations attempt to get an address via dhcpv6 and get no response, will it try dhcp with ipv4, or will it just assign a 169.254.*.* address?

How to set RelationshipDeleteBehavior on a list using a site column and content type programatically CSOM c#

On Prem development machine, I'm writng a deployment routine in c# using the client object model. I've created some site columns of type Lookup, I've created a content type and added those lookup columns to it and I've created a list using the
content type. I want to set the RelationshipDeleteBehavior property on some of the lookup columns in the list. I'm also using the 16 assemblies.
List list = cc.Web.GetListByTitle("MyList");
cc.Load(list);
cc.ExecuteQuery();
Field f = list.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("MyLookupField");
cc.Load(f);
cc.ExecuteQuery();
(f
as
FieldLookup).RelationshipDeleteBehavior =
RelationshipDeleteBehaviorType.Restrict;
f is returning as a Field but (f
as
FieldLookup) is returning null here. Any insight on this?
Thank you.
Dan Budimir

Hi,
We can use SP.ClientContext.castTo method to convert the field to lookup field . The following code snippet for your reference:
ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://siteurl");
NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
context.Credentials = credentials;
Web web = context.Web;
List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("MyList");
Field field = list.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("MyLookupField");
FieldLookup lookupField = context.CastTo<FieldLookup>(field);
lookupField.RelationshipDeleteBehavior = RelationshipDeleteBehaviorType.Restrict;
lookupField.Indexed = true;
lookupField.Update();
context.ExecuteQuery();

Need help understanding appending metadata and keywords

It seems too good to be true--appending the copyright and keywords to multiple images at a time in Bridge. We started doing it on a server volume of images and it seems to work ... as long as you are logged on to the computer that appended the data as the user that appended the data. Log on to the server from another computer as another user and it's all gone. I thought the metadata was stored in the image when you append it. Why are the keywords and metadata user specific? Are we doing something wrong? It seems a huge waste of time, if the metadata isn't general to anyone searching the photo volume.
Bridge CS3 on Mac OS 10.4x, working on a Windows server volume.

There is a command to Build and Export the cache, I just don't remember offhand where it is in CS3. I'm working on CS4 right now and don't have time to quit and launch CS3. Hope you can find it.

Boundaries and Boundary Groups - 300 Physical locations

Hey guys -
I'm going to be deploying 300 or so Pull DP's across our environment. For the most part, it's one Pull-DP per physical location, with very little overlap. Only one site.
Based on what I'm reading, I'll need 300 Boundaries and 300 (seemingly identical) Boundary Groups, with one boundary per group. Am I getting this right? It doesn't seem that the new "Boundary Groups" really offers any benefits to us,
unless I am missing something; it's simply extra work for us.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though, and thanks!

Hi,
You are correct you need a Boundary and a Boundary Group per Pull DP. Boundary groups makes it possible to use a boundary for Site assignment or Content location and you can reuse the boundaries created.

Standalone Primary Site and Boundary Groups

Do I need to configure a Site Assignment Boundary Group for a Standalone Primary Site?
Unless I am reading this wrong, Torsten said no here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4979ac47-593a-4490-9b48-b8f278f39cb7/we-are-in-the-process-of-migrating-from-2007-to-2012-r2-can-we-block-boundary-migration?forum=configmanagermigration
Does that also go for a Content Location Boundary group as well? Do I need to configure a Content Location Boundary Group in a Standalone Primary Site if all the site system roles are all on one server and there are no remote DPs or Secondary Sites?
Thanks

There's no overlappings with other sites since there are no other sites.
So you're saying I can set up one, but it is not necessary for this scenario with a Standalone Primary Site?
If I don't set up one, but sometime down the road in the future if a Secondary Site is going to be configured somewhere, then I would need to setup one, so it would be best to do it now to get it out of the way, right?
Danke, Torsten

Need to understand how clients will communicate with a remote DP if their local DP decides to go down (offline)

Will clients fallback to the Central Office DP if their local DP "goes down", or does this depend solely on if the Central Office site DP has been configured in a Content Location Boundary Group for that remote site and if it is NOT,
then will clients will NOT be able to search for any available DPs within the domain?

It depends on the configuration of the distribution point (tab Boundary Groups | checkbox
Allow fallback source location for content) and the configuration of the application (tab Content | checkbox
Allow clients to use a fallback source location for content).

Need to determine plant and storaeg location for item in delivery

Hello All,
I have an inbound IDOC which changes the quantity of items in a delivery and also adds new items if necessary. I need to do a auto PGI also if required.
Am using BDC to update the delivery. Now the problem is when I add a new item to the delivery. I add the material, quantity and Unit recieved from the IDOC. I need to determine the plant and storage location and fill that too in the delivery.
Kindly let me know how I can determine these two values. Which table holds this data?
Please note that I am changing only the delivery. The document preceding the delivery wont be changed.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Johnson

normally the plant is determined on this basis:
customer inforecord (table KNMT)
customer master (KNVV)
material (MVKE)
The storage location is determined in table TVKOL based on:
shipping point (you have it in delivery header LIKP-VSTEL)
plant (see above)
storage conditions (material master MARA-RAUBE)
regards
Roberto

Need to understand basics of Oracle RAC and Grid technology, for training

I need to understand Oracle RAC and Grid infrastructure, from a manager's / training perspective.
I see links here and here, so a couple questions:
- what's the basic difference from a layman's (e.g., a manager's) perspective ?
- What training options are available for a generic 11g DBA to learn this new technology ? I've seen this course from an Oracle partner ("Course:Oracle 11g: RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration Accelerated Release 2"), for a boat load of money, for 5 days I think. So we're looking for something a little more reasonable (and accessible), e.g., books, online, etc.

For a very basic definition, RAC is technology that is used by the database and GI is the infrastructure that makes RAC work. In a forum reply, that's probably all what can be said about both. For a very lengthy answer, you should read the links that you have quoted.
For #2, the course that you are looking at is called Accelerated as it combines two courses in a single week training-RAC(4) and GI(3). So it's a 7 day curriculum that one would be doing in a 5 day course and that should justify its cost. But let me say, it's a really really good course. But on the other side, it can be quite overwhelming for someone who doesn't know about these technologies already. So I shall suggest that you send your team to each course individually and probably after doing some homework . They can start reading the following books,
Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux
https://www.mheducation.co.in/html/9781259004063.html
And this doc link,

OSD Process not honoring Boundary Group Locations

Hi All,
I'm in the process of introducing a PXE enabled DP into a new remote site (AUS). I've got the DP installed and PXE booting and I've created a new boundary group using the AD site for the remote location and added the on site DP to this.
Everything was working fine and the PXE boot worked correctly the boot.wim gets tftp'd. The client picks its policy from a MP back in the UK and that's working fine as well.
The weird bit that is driving me mad is when it downloads content it is getting both the UK and AUS DPs in the content location request and picking the UK ones!
I've checked my boundary groups and I have have one for the UK with the UK DPs in and the UK AD site. With another one that has the AUS AD site and the AUS DP in.
None of the DPs are set for Allow Fallback and this is driving me crazy!
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter,
I've check the IP address and it is getting what I would expect it to have (10.6.3.200) the AD site assigned to the boundary group for the remote DP is a 10.6.3.0/22 and I've also tried it with an IP range of 10.6.3.1-10.6.3.254
I've enabled verbose logging for the MP and looked at mp_location.log it shows the following:
Looking up AD site name for content location request. MP_LocationManager 10/02/2015 20:00:56 534332 (0x8273C)
Successfully mapped IP address 10.6.3.200 to AD site AUS MP_LocationManager 10/02/2015 20:00:56 534332 (0x8273C)
however the reply with "MP_GetContentDPInfoProtected" contains servers that are not in that boundary group.
MP_GetContentDPInfoProtected (UK500152,2,UK5,<ServerNameList><ServerName>SCCM2.domain.local</ServerName><ServerName>SCCM4.domain.local</ServerName><ServerName>SCCM-AUS.domain.local</ServerName></ServerNameList>,SMSPackage,00000000,,,<ClientLocationInfo
AllowMulticast="1"><ADSite Name="AUS"/><IPAddresses><IPAddress Address="10.6.3.200" SubnetAddress="10.6.3.0"/></IPAddresses></ClientLocationInfo>)
I have noticed that someone has added a 10.6.0.0/16 to a different AD site a long time ago but that was never an issue with 2007 as the largest mask (the /22) would be used. Any idea if this is still the case in 2012?

Boundary And Boundary Groups

Hello All,
A question here:
We define Site Systems in Boundaries.
We define Sites and Content Location in Boundary Group.
What is the use of these 3 settings?

Reduce White Space below Site Title and Above Site Content

On a SharePoint Online site wiki home page, I'm in need of a Script Editor snippet that will reduce the amount of white space below the site title and the start of the body/content of the site. (see attached image). Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to reduce white space in the site title below.
We can use CSS to achieve it, the following CSS style for your reference:
<style>
.ms-rte-layoutszone-inner{
height:0px;
</style>

Content location mass update at the site level

Hi,
I am looking for a way to mass update the content location at the site level. Right now, we can do the mass update at the folder level. We have about 80 folders or so. Is there a way we can mass update the starting url at the site level?
Environment: Oracle iLearning 5.2.1
Thanks
Sud

If you are mass updating the content location, you need to inspect the following three tables in the ILEARN schema.
Table Columns Description
content_server host, physical_directory Content Server Definition
rco starting_url Self Explanatory
host_adapter adapter_path CMI Adapter
You might not have to change all of them, if you are only changing the path and not the host.

Error: "We're having a problem opening this location on file explorer. Add this website to your trusted sites list and try again"

Hello,
When i try to open document library from SharePoint Production portal then it throws the specified error. However, when i open document library from SharePoint Development portal then it opens it in file explorer quite easily.
Production portal is on https whereas development portal is on http. Also, UAG has been configured on production portal.
Any idea where it's getting stuck up? Surely, this is not a browser issue on Windows 7 as it's opening the development portal's document library on the same machine.
I've also done following things:
- Configured Desktop Experience on production environment
- Installed the hotfix for Windows 7
Regards,
Sohaib
Sohaib Khan

Hello Sohaib.
Here is the list of causes defined here.Hope it helps you
The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
Resolution: Check and ensure, that the “Managed Paths” are not changed in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
this web application and there is a working Root site collection.
If for any reason this is not the case in your environment, you may try the following:
- Apply (if not already) the following Hotfix to one of those clients:
Error when you open a SharePoint Document Library in Windows Explorer or map a network drive to the library after you install Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960
Then, try to delete the cache of the IE browser before reproducing the issue. Check the result..
- Try to temporarily disable the Antivirus and test again.
- Check if you have installed the Desktop Experience feature on the SPS13 server.
- Check if you face this behavior with all users, Or only with some specific ones, Or with all different client OSes..
Otherwise you will need to collect the logs to further analyze...
