New machines with 11.3 -agent wont import it's inventory

Site contains two Primarys, running on Win 2008 R2, database MS SQL. some thousands managed devices.
Upgraded to 11.3 some weeks ago.
By an accident I noticed that new installed devices with 11.3 -agent doesnt have inventory data in ZCC.
Looking at the machine, it says that inventory is done and uploaded.
On the primarys, in D:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\work\collection\inventory, normally the the zip/xml-files lands, and I see that there ar a lot of files passing there.
Earlier there were two subdirectorys, "success" and "failure", and xml-files were moved there.
They still exists, and fills with successfull inventrys.
Now there are a new directory, "waiting". Looking in that, I see that all XML-files from 11.3-agents, is there.
Trying to move up some files, results in that it processes, and then gets moved down in "waiting" again.
What is this for a directory? Why is it waiting? Why is it not proccessing 11.3 files as the inventory-files from 11.2.3-agents?

  • Can not register a new machine with Updatemanager

    Hi,
    I just install a new machine with Solaris 10 using a Flash image and Live Upgrade. The original machine from we create the Flash image was registered succesfull using Update Manager.
    Now, when I try to register the new machine, the applications ask me the user and password, but do not makes anything. The dialog freeze. The only way to stop the Update Manager is killing them (at the end is the full java error stack).
    I try with sconadm,
    sconadm register -a -r /var/tmp/registration.profile
    Unsuccessfull too, with the same stack error (Caused by: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: ).
    I'm bored with the Solaris patch system: all the weekend was saying error 500 for all my other registered machines, and now I can not register a new machine....
    This system fails all the time.. Is runing under W2K3 server???
    Any Idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well,
    The problem was a Memory problem: The swap file was misconfigured. Once the system reboots with the correct swap configuration I was able to register the machine.
    Anyway, the problem to connect with SunSolve is continous, but it is other point of discussion.
    I hope this solution can help people with similar problems.

    My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Moved report server to new machine with all old settings

    Dear all,
    I am going to moved to new server machine for SSRS and i have 200+ reports ,,
    i have configure report server in new machine but reports configuration pending
    i thought i would need help of others to do this because i have a quetion? that
    How can moved my 200 reports to new machine with all configurations includes 40 subscriptions , and much more 
    with parameter values setting ??
    is there simple way?? rather than doing one by one ..
    like i just copy mu old report server to new report server.. 
    Help me please ??
    Dilip Patil..

    Hi Dilip,
    After testing the issue in my environment, we can try to use the RS.exe utility to execute a Reporting Services RSS script that copies content items and settings from one SQL Server Reporting Services report server to another report server.
    To achieve this goal, please refer to the following steps:
    using the RS.exe utility Download the script file from the CodePlex site
    Reporting Services RS.exe script migrates content to a local folder, for example c:\rss\ssrs_migration.rss.
    Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.
    Navigate to the folder containing the ssrs_migration.rss file.
    Run the following command to migrate contents from the native mode Sourceserver to the native mode Targetserver:
    rs.exe -i ssrs_migration.rss -e Mgmt2010 -s
    http://SourceServer/ReportServer -u Domain\User -p password -v ts="http://TargetServer/reportserver" -v tu="Domain\Userser" -v tp="password"
    Besides, if the destination report server is SharePoint mode, we can also try to use Reporting Services Migration Tool to achieve your requirement. For more details, please see:

  • I bought my wife an ipad for xmas and the machine is faulty the apple authorised dealer admitted it was faulty and wants to replace my new machine with a factory refurbished unit. I told them that i will only accept a new one? am i right?

    i bought my wife an ipad retina for xmas and the machine is faulty, it keeps on switching off. the apple authorised dealer admitted it was faulty and wants to replace my new machine with a factory refurbished unit. I told them that i will only accept a new one as it is only a few weeks old and had the problem from the begining? is it correct that apple replaces new defective products with factory refurbished one? I have used apple products most of my life from mac 2 to G5. I had over a dozen apple machines and never had a problem so far? I do not believe this is right..

    In the EU there is also a mandatory two year warranty by european union law. I am not a lawyer but i never signed or agreed to any apple policy at the time of purchase, i was told you have a two year guarantee bring it back if anything goes wrong which i did and now i am being quoted all sorts of policies. my own policy is that if you buy new you get new, with no excuses.  I feel a bit cheated by apple if i have to compromise with a second hand unit. the unit is not even a month old and we took it to the original store a couple of weeks after it was bought and they sent us to take it to a servicing dept in another town. I am an apple fan and expect excellent service like the products themselves.
    No one ever does sign anything - the purchase itself, where you exchange money for the product, is your de facto agreement to all warranties and policies set forth by both the seller and the OEM supplier.  That's a pretty firmly established principle of consumer law (image the nightmare if you had to read and sign to such things every time you purchased anything or everything?).
    You can complain to the store or to Apple about it if you wish.

  • Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

    i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
    i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
    Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
    ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
    anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
    THANKS

    A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
    When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
    B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
    It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
    C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
    If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
    D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
    Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have  their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
    E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
    Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
    F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?
    http://kb.parallels.com/en/113658
    Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.

  • Migrate from XP to new machine with Vista

    Could someone please describe how to do this?
    I have backed up the catalogue on an external drive, and installed LR onto the new machine.
    However,searching on here there is advice to copy the preview and thumbs files,which I cannot find.
    Also my presets etc, where should i copy them to? On the xp machine ther are in user name/app data/Lightroom
    o the new machine there is no lightroom folder in username/app data.
    Really confused please help!
    Phil

    Ok Guys (and gals)
    All seems to be well ;-)
    I made sure that my images were in the same directories..a little easier because the are on an external drive...however the drive was recognised as G and not H. So after some fiddling in the admin tools to rename it, all was ok.
    The thing that was puzzling me is that the directories in username/application data/lightroom (where the presets etc are stored in XP) have changed in Vista.
    As others said they are now User name/application data/Roaming/lightroom...but the files are not created until after you first launch LR.
    So I copied the previews folder and catalogue from My Pictures in XP to username/pictures in Vista, which seems to be the default location.
    Then clicking the catalogue file opens LR with that catalogue.
    There are no user presets as yet,but once LR has been started the file location is username/app data/roaming/lightroom/presets.
    Copy all the presets there.
    Then I went through the other files and ensured that I copied any other usefull info,such as preferences,metadata presets, export presets,from the existing folders into the new.
    All i had to do then was re set up my id plate, export presets and go through all the options to make sure all was well.
    The only issue is that I have one directory on my hard drive that is not recognised. Some images were on D,on a partitioned hard drive (C and D). Now I have one drive C.
    But the catalogue still has the folder and the previews so its no hastle just to browse to the new location to fix it.
    So yaaaay! Now just the ballache with Vista (I hope not)
    One final note...called LR tech support for help and was told an email would be sent with the full info what to do. After quite some hours no mail....another call revealed no case id and nothing recorded. Hmmmmm...
    Thanks all who replied and hope this helps others

  • Migrating to brand new machine with iTunes/iCloud in mind?

    Okay all, this might not have been clarified yet by Apple, but here's my question:
    I'm finally migrating from an iBook G4 to a MacBook Air as we speak. The vast majority of what's on the HDD on the iBook is music (40 some odd gigs!). The new machine has a 64 GIG HD, which was a very deliberate choice on my end, as I am a major Spotify user and was planning to really run with iCloud for my music needs.
    Anyway, question is, does my music have to physically stay on my new HDD in order for iTunes to scan my library and give me availablity to it via the Cloud? For obvious reasons of storage limitations, I couldn't keep all of it on the MacBook just so that I could at some point stream it.
    So does/will the Cloud constantly update and check back in with what I've still got physically on my main machine, or could I move it onto the new machine, have iTunes scan it, then move it off, rinse/repeat as necessary?
    Thoughts anyone?
    Thanks...

    It would have been wiser to use the TM backup rather than your old machine. Also it would have been wiser to have followed the on-screen directions when the machine first started up in Setup Assistant. In short, let it work and finish, there is no method to speed it up. In the future to gain speed use faster connections such as Firewire, Ethernet or if you can Thunderbolt.
    Also you may want to book mark and use Pondini's Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips guide.

  • New machine with old system disk????

    Hi
    I've got a first generation Mac Pro and my new 8 core arrives tomorrow. Can I pull out the system disk from the quad core and put it into the new Octo? Will leopard reconfigure itself to work with the new hardware?
    Many thanks
    Nick

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    No. The license for the quad core machine limits the use of the quad core software to a quad core machine. Secondly, even if you did manage to bypass the restrictions of the firmware of the new machines, the drivers are different, and kernel panics, and non-upgradeable systems may persist afterwards. Macs have always in general can only run the system they shipped with and newer systems up to the limits of their hardware. If you must use an older version of an operating system for a software, find an alternative on:
    http://guide.apple.com/
    http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/
    http://www.macupdate.com/
    contact the vendor that is behind on their software development, or buy a used or refurbished Mac * which supports the operating system in question until you can upgrade all your software to be compatible with the operating system that ships with the new Mac. Sell the newer Mac unless you have need for software that will only run on it. Use my Identify your Mac FAQ* to determine the age of the machines you are looking for.

  • How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

    I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
    Thank you

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

  • How to best migrate userdata to new machine with clean install

    We currently run OS X Server 10.4 on a G4. It's about to give up the ghost, so we want to migrate/move the server to a G5. We could clone the drive, however, I think a clean install would be best to clear out any oddities that may have played a part in the servers demise.
    Is it possible to do a clean install OS X server from onto a blank hard drive, i.e. not an upgrade install. And then migrate the importatn user data, passwords and other important settings etc?
    Or will I have to recreate all users, passwords, shares etc?
    Thanks in advance for any tips.

    Hi
    Is it possible to do a clean install OS X server from onto
    a blank hard drive, i.e. not an upgrade install. And then migrate
    the importatn user data, passwords and other important settings etc?
    Yes. Passwords don’t transfer over however. Its simple enough to force everyone to change their passwords at next login using Password Policies. If your user base is not that large you could always key them in.
    On the old server unshare any share points first before copying over. I personally like to create a new enclosing (top-level) share point that is named the same on the new server and then copy over the folders/files within. Propagate permissions from there. If the shares are on a RAID or an external device then just unshare them and re-attach to the new server and proceed from there. Although not necessary its a good idea to restart the server after doing this especially if the volumes have also been ACL enabled which you should disable first.
    Exporting and Importing Users and Groups from WGM is simple enough.
    In Server Admin above the settings button for each service configured is the property list icon. You can drag this to the desktop or a memory stick and use these property lists to re-configure the new server. If you suspect that any oddities on the old server are down to a suspect service then don’t bother and re-do the service from scratch. If you are using internal DNS Services then I would also advise to redo this from scratch unless you are absolutely certain that there was nothing wrong with the service on the old server. The only plist that I would advise not to transfer over would be Open Directory if its anything other than Standalone. You can transfer over and re-locate the LDAP database if it is an OD Master but again if you suspect your original oddities stem from there then don’t bother. In my view unless you have absolutely never had a problem and you are not changing anything I would always start from Standalone and promote from there.

  • Bringing an old version of CS5.1 from old mac to new mac with Mavericks, and it wont open. Having trouble uninstalling it.

    Hey guys, so as I said, I have CS5.1 in the hard-drive of my old computer that I connected to my new one and I successfully brought it over. However, when I tried to open it, an alert came up saying "error 6". I talked with an support person and he recommended me uninstalling and re-installing it again, but when I tried that it said that there were errors and said to download the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner tool, which I did, but it still not helping the situation.
    This is kind of a specific predicament, feel free to ask any sort of questions, and I would love some help from anyone, thanks!

    You need to upgrade to 10.6.8. The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
