Not restoring machine name using ZISEDIT

Hi
What is the registry key to stop ISD from changing the machine name to
the one stored in the image safe area? We have our own renaming mathod
that works fine but sometimes ISD overwrites the name we change)
I have struggled to understand the right key you need to create
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\Zenworks]
"ZISWin Do Not Restore Mask"=dword:?????????
"ZISWin Do Not Restore Mask"=dword:?????????
what would be the value to not collect or restore the NETBios name
(0x00000004) (?) or DNS Host name (0x00000100) (?) - not 0x00000104 by
any chance
my aim is to stop ziswin.exe from ever changing the machine name - either
collecting or restoring.
following http://support.novell.com/cgi-
bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10081392.htm and the documention for zen 6.5
imaging
Thanks in advance

hmm.. which patchlevel?
you can also write a script which will retrieve the asset tag from the bios
and put it into the image save data.
concerning the dupplicate wks, there was a bug which should have been
fixed, but there is also a lot of other things to keep in mind, without
knowing your setup I can't help you more

Computer Authentication /host/machine name using EAP on AP Problem

Hi All,
I have a wireless access point model 1242 with ACS server. Acs server is intigrated with windows domain. The user authentication is working ok but i would like to have a computer authentication setup. I am using PEAP with MS chapv2 on client machine and on access point using open authentication with EAP. ACS has its on certificate and client has the root certificate. I can see the acs server pulls the /host/machine name from AD but i am getting (EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed during SSL handshake) message on ACS server for computer authentication. What could be the problem? user authentication is working OK....
Does computer authentication require the EAP-TLS? I don't have client certificate in my setup.
I would be gratefull for any suggestion / help.

You did not mention whether your clients are running Windows or Mac OS (or some mixture of OS's)? If you are running in a pure Windows environment, it is very easy to enable PEAP machine authentication. It sounds like you have properly enabled machine authentication on the client side (since you are seeing host/machine auth attempts in the ACS log), but have you enabled machine authentication on the ACS server?
Which version of ACS are you running (hopefully 4.2).
Read up on this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/UsrDb.html#wp354014
ACS supports EAP-TLS, PEAP (EAP-MS-CHAPv2), and PEAP (EAP-TLS) for machine authentication. You can enable each separately on the Windows User Database Configuration page, which allows a mix of computers that authenticate with EAP-TLS or PEAP (EAP-MS-CHAPv2). Microsoft operating systems that perform machine authentication might limit the user authentication protocol to the same protocol that is used for machine authentication. For more information about Microsoft operating systems and machine authentication, see Microsoft Windows and Machine Authentication.
Windows User Database Support
ACS supports the use of Windows external user databases for:
•User Authentication—For information about the types of authentication that ACS supports with Windows Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database or a Windows Active Directory database, see Authentication Protocol-Database Compatibility, page 1-8.
•Machine Authentication—ACS supports machine authentication with EAP-TLS and PEAP (EAP-MS-CHAPv2). For more information, see EAP and Windows Authentication.
•Group Mapping for Unknown Users— ACS supports group mapping for unknown users by requesting group membership information from Windows user databases. For more information about group mapping for users authenticated with a Windows user database, see Group Mapping by Group Set Membership, page 16-3.
•Password-Aging— ACS supports password aging for users who are authenticated by a Windows user database. For more information, see User-Changeable Passwords with Windows User Databases.
•Dial-in Permissions—ACS supports use of dial-in permissions from Windows user databases. For more information, see Preparing Users for Authenticating with Windows.
•Callback Settings—ACS supports use of callback settings from Windows user databases. For information about configuring ACS to use Windows callback settings, see Setting the User Callback Option, page 6-6.

Could not restore CS5 using Time Machine after changing to Mac OS8.3

Could not restore Photoshop CS5 using Time Machine after changing to Mac OS8.3 - the change was dictated by a power supply problem (now fixed) in my Macbook Pro - that has been fixed.

Restoring the Adobe application via Time machine is not a good practise and may cause other issues as well.
Please install the application properly rather restoring.

Hello crossurmind.
What sorts of issues led up to the computer originally not booting? Were you getting a lot of blue screen errors?
The two items you posted from the error log seem to indicate that it is having trouble reading the hard drive and possibly the memory. After trying the restore it seems that it failed causing the boot section of the install to "not be found."
I think you should begin by using the built in tests for the hard drive and memory located in the BIOS. Follow this document to perform the hard drive test. All you'll have to do is repeat the process and select "memory" in order to perform the memory test. Make sure to post the result of both of these tests.
I will await the results; have a great day!

Time Machine backup on Mountain Lion not restoring

I recently upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. After the upgrade, I duly take back ups to my two existing time machine back-ups on two external hard disks. I also maintain a separate CCC bootable clone. I recently tried to restore my calendary folder to restore data on my Calendar application but I got the shock of my life when I realised that NO mountain lion restores are working using either of my time machine back ups. BTW I have previously upgraded to Snow Leopard and to Lion, and my Time Machine backup disks have never showed any problems.
I have spent the last 4-5 days trying a variety of solutions, with no luck so far:
1) I looked at Pondini's website, including restoring data from TimeMachine backup to a dmg image and copying. This failed due to a combination of permissions error and wrong information about size / disk space requriements. In any case, this is not a feasible option since I would prefer restore to work directly, especially for large files and system files, as it did before since this workaround is not really a solution.
http://pondini.org/TM/E10.html
2) I followed instructions given at http://superuser.com/questions/35152/how-do-i-retrieve-files-from-time-machine-b ackups-from-another-computer and set ignore ownership via command line and then backed up again, but this did not fix permissions either on the new backup.
3) I used a separate external hard disk, reformatted it as Mac OSX journaled (not case sensitive) using a GUID partition map, and then backed up my hard disk (~330GB) which took ages but the new time machine back up does not work either. I still get permissions errors on restore from TM backup.
4) Using yet another hard disk, I followed advice here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096
This has not worked either - I still get permissions errors on restore from TM backup.
5) If I go back to a TM backup dated PRIOR to upgrading to Mountain Lion, all restores work fine from both my exisiting time machine backups. It seems to me that only post Mountain Lion upgrades which don't work. So my conclusion is that it is ML that has introduced some sort of permissions issue.
6) File restores (i.e. copy paste to my desktop) from the CCC cloned backup proceed wthout a hitch.
At this stage I all I am really trying to aim for is getting a working time machine backup, even if it is a new one which restores properly. That is proving to be a huge challenge. Any help or advice would be very useful indeed. The only option left for me is to now either go to an Apple Store or to call Apple Care, but I am not confident of securing a resolution at either place. So any advice from more experienced users would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Time Machine restore does not restore (completely)

Hi there,
lately I did a "clean" re-install and later I restored all applications (only the applications, because I clicked "do not restore this user account" or something) backed up earlier via Time Machine.
Today I wanted to do a full restore of everything I backed up in the past, including photo's movies, documents, etc.
I tried to do that but it only restored my applications again and that's it...
I just try to restore the backup from my iMac where I backed it up from, so...
I used the Migration Assistant.
What did I do wrong?
Any tips/comments are welcome!
Grtz,
Peter.

What I already did before I got your answer is restoring my complete system using the install DVD that came with the iMac. I didn't re-install OS X, but restored my system from the TM backup, via the Utilities>restore from TM backup, or whatever it says.
Good. (That's the procedure in #14 of the FAQ Tip, and step #1 of the second option I suggested.)
It seems that it indeed restored my complete system this time.
Ah, so your system is now complete, with all your apps, data, etc.?
If so, now it's fairly quick and easy to get a fresh version of OSX. Do an +Archive and Install,+ being certain to select the +Preserve users and settings+ option, per the *Archive & Install* section of the Glenn Carter - Restoring Your Entire System / Time Machine *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
Then either use Software Update (as in that article), or download and install the "combo" update, to get back to 10.5.8. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.
If this sounds familiar, it's step #2 of the second option in my previous post.
I forgot to switch of TM, so it directly made a new backup from the "new" system, which is normal of course.
Should I have switched TM off, instead, so it didn't make the backup or is that no problem?
No, not a problem. It's suggested there mostly to save space on the TM drive since TM will usually new a full backup.
At the end of your answer you mention NOT to setup TM, so, did I do something wrong again?
Again, no, you're ok, since you did the full restore and don't need to use Migration Assistant.
Well to check wether I still/again had the shut down problem I, as a test, selected Disk Utility (via GO>... in Finder And guess what: it shut down on me... Again! Aaagghhhhrrr!
Not surprising, since the full restore has you back to the same condition as before you started trying to fix that. The full restore was step #1. Step #2 is to get a new version of OSX via +Archive and Install.+ I can't promise the +Archive and Install+ will fix the problem, but it will get a fresh copy of OSX, preserving all your apps and data.
Can the LaCie d2 quadra drive have something to do with. I didn't format it like you suggest in point 5 of Frequently Asked Questions User Tip. Should I perform a re-format (and partition it in the mean time which indeed will be better)? Maybe, as you say in the Freq Asked Questions: it might conflict with Mac (???).
Doubtful, since you were able to do the compete reinstall successfully.
In any event, I'd wait until the +Archive and Install+ is done before addressing that.
Don't worry about your answer being late. My question was extremely early because I'm in the Chinese Time Zone (I work/live in China as an expat)
Ah, that explains it!
You might ask yourself why I didn't go to an Apple Support shop here in China (the closest one for me is in Shanghai), but I don't really trust them... I've been in China for quite some time now, if you know what I mean. Probably I shouldn't worried, but there is also something like a language problem, too.
Even in the U.S., many of the Geniuses aren't very familiar with Time Machine, unfortunately.
I think you're well down the road to recovery . . . good luck!

Time Machine backup did not restore office suite app from backup

I recently restored to my internal HD from a Time Machine backup.
I had not done a Time Machine restore before, so I did not attempt to customize the restore -- that is, I just accepted the default behavior after selecting the source disk.
I've since found that Time Machine does not seem to have backed up a third party office suite I had been using on my MacBook Pro or a file I had saved to my hard drive from that app. Perhaps I'll find that other files were also not restored.
Does anyone have any idea why those would have been missed in the restore?
Also, given the situation I’m now in would it be best to just download the app and start from scratch? I don’t know how one manually restores an already-installed app (i.e., from its backup), given the many different files that are usually created in many different locations when an app is installed from its original 'package' file.
Thanks.

Locate the files in the Finder, then enter Time Machine. You should see snapshots of the open Finder window cascading back in time.
Delayed response, sorry. What I meant to ask there was how one can navigate quickly to the window that (hopefully) has what one is looking for.
E.g., if I don't recall anything else about a file than its name (& hopefully I remember that well enough to get a search hit from it -- its own kind of problem since a filename misspelling can end you up with no hits), how to locate the desired file quickly -- i.e., without paging through lots of Finder windows.
Any further advice about how to do that?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how to do this in Time Machine, but the Finder window cascade seems to me like having a file cabinet full of folders, any of which might have the desired file.
Thanks again.

How to restore machine using a TM backup on a usb hard drive from older imac to a brand new iMac?

My imac (the one that had a superdrive in it), had a broken superdrive and was sent for repair. Whilst being "repaired" the screen was broken. I now have a brand new imac albeit without a dvd drive. My question is how to I restore my the old TM back up which had been made to an external usb hard drive to the new imac. Help files say that I should not restore from a TM file to a different machine and that I should use migration assistant. Whilst I can see the external usb drive in TM it is not being recognised in Migration assistant when I click on back up from a TM backup on another machine or disk.
Any ideas?
Just noticed that this new machine is running OSX 10.8.4 the broken imac was on mavericks

This is very simple first run Software Update on the new machine and get your machine upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Install all other software updates Apple recommends in Software Update. Then care fully read Pondini's guide on using Migration Assistant located at:
http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
Your migrated data will be in a new account, to access it log into the new account.
Also DO NOT repeat DO NOTuse Wi-Fi to migrate data, if your TM backup drive uses USB, then connect it via USB and follow the on-screen instructions as described in Pondini's guide.

I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

You need to do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.

Custom report: Machine Name Not Match Serial Number

> What criteria would I use for a custom report that would show computers

Don't really see an easy way to do that. You don't get an option to say
machine name not= to serial number or visa versa. The only thing I can
see to do is create a basic workstation report and display machine name
and serial number and do a side by side comparison.

Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished. For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
which direction I will go. I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time. DFS can stay installed for maybe
future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
Here's a few details of the environment....
1. DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present. But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server. Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble. This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server. The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends. The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Phillip Windell

Hi Sharon,
I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
to flip over to the new server. DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
the old server to 2003R2 first. As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
Thanks for the reg info on the Shares. I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job. I'll probably export that Key as a
safety move whether I use it or not.
Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
How does that sound?

>how can I correct this alert?
Fix your DNS.
This non-fatal error is Apache's way of telling you that it can't work out the hostname of the machine it's running on.
It uses reverse DNS to determine this information. If you don't have a reverse DNS entry for your server's IP address, this is what you get.
Fix your DNS and the alert will go away, or just ignore it.

Use of hyphen (-) in hostname/machine name

Hi there.
One of our architects is proposing a new server naming policy that would allow the use of hyphens (-) in the hostname or machine name of new servers.
I've pointed out to him that this might not be a very good idea as I've heard of a few problems with Oracle that can be caused by using hyphens in the hostname.
Do any of you know if underscores (_) are allowed instead? Is Oracle happy with underscores in the hostname?
Thanks in anticipation !

Thanks for that Sybrand. I've checked out what you pointed me and it does say that hyphens are allowed.
However, I've just found a conflicting document on Metalink (sorry, MyOracleSupport) Doc Id 477993.1 whereby it causes problems with Siebel environments. It says the following:-
"The hyphen (-) or dash characters are not permitted as valid characters within the Siebel server name. The only valid characters that can be used in the Siebel server name are alphanumeric and underscore characters. Configuring a machine hostname that contains a hyphen character can also cause certain behaviors when running the Siebel Server Configuration Wizard"
So, it's still a bit unclear. I think what I'll do is raise an SR to double-check.
Many thanks.
