NOWS or NOWS-SBE

Before starting any flame wars, most of this is just me asking dumb
questions:
Customer currently has SBS and they were licensed and got the upgrade
protection before the cutoff date (what, like a little over a year or so
ago?)
They have TWO servers, however.
One server does the file/print
Other runs GroupWise and BMEE
Would they like to use ZEN? Yes. But do they now? No.
BMEE isn't really going to be missed (we'll be replacing it with an
appliance with a more full featured firewall, VPN, Anti-spam, AV, etc.)
GroupWise well, I can conver that over to SLES10 on Ext3. But I need it
to be on a physically separate box (I hate having everything on ONE
server).
The file/print server, however, needs to be able to use OES2.
Why you ask?
Because they don't want to use nasty Linux/Unix file management (icky
pooh).
What is run on the current box?
1) WebAccess for GroupWise (meaning the Apache server is on this box,
but all the other code is on the other server)
2) NetStorage
3) iPrint
4) DHCP (probably be moved over to the appliance)
5) NSS
Would it be nice to be able to use DLU in ZEN and lock down the Windows
desktops? Yes.
Given that, which do I have them upgrade to, as it's my understanding
they can do either one.
But it must be OES on SLES10 (so OES2). That way I can do an "in-place
upgrade". Yes, I know, not really an in-place, but all you have to do
is have free drive space, so you can install SLES10 and then you can get
the other stuff up and running and just mount the existing NSS volume
that was on NetWare on OES2 rather than have to suffer the pain of the
Migration utility. (I believe it still resets the timestamps so you
can't see how old your data is, and of course, it takes considerably
longer than mounting an already existing volume).
Any ideas/suggestions?

I've not found problems running NW 6.5 and backup software -- then
again, I tend to not 'autodeploy' Service Packs -- and check to make
sure that whatever backup software I use works with a specific service
pack.
I note other reports -- for me, I'm still running 6.5 SP5 plus the post
SP5 updates and either BE 9.1 or 9.2 with its updates.

  • HT4528 My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on th Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now my iPhone 5 has the same problem.

    My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on the Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now 4 days later my iPhone 5 that is tied to the same iCloud has the same problem with the Maps app.  I really don't want to go through a new set-up with my iPhone 5.  What's going on with iCloud?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • I'm on a website that usually when you click on the open chat(popup) link it opens a certain now, but now they are opening maximized all the time. How do I get them to open the proper size?

    It was opening the proper size and now it doesn't

    Works normally for me. The script that runs when you click the link will check to see if it already opened a window and try to switch to it, but if you are starting from scratch, this shouldn't be an issue.
    There probably are quite a few add-ons that affect popup window behavior. To see whether an add-on could be responsible, you could test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, close Firefox, hold the Shift key, then restart Firefox. You will get a [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode dialog]. Just click "Continue in Safe Mode" and do not "reset" anything just yet.
    If the window displays at the specified size in Safe Mode, one of your other add-ons (especially in the Extensions category) may be overriding it.

  • When I log into my Hotmail account now, it now connects to 'microsoft windows (US)' and not to 'UK' which could be why some downloads and sending/receiving emails frequently run very slowly. What's changed and how to I revert this back to windows UK

    Below is the thread from/with Windows Live Solution Center which should tell you me issues. Let me know if you need any further information please.

    I would like to make some clarifications.

    Thanks,
    Hello Julius M
    Sorry I haven't got back to you before now but I've had a few problems trying to make this reply.
    I was using firefox as my Explorer. When I tried to open your message the system kept looping between 'hotmail logon' and 'connecting' and didn't get anywhere. Also, when I clicked on the 'reply' radio button below your message, nothing happened. ......I've now gone back to using Explorer 8 to try to reply.
    to answer your questions:
    >I haven't changed any information in account.live.
    >I haven't changed the timezone or locale of this computer.
    >I experience this latency about 3 weeks ago when a message popped up saying that it had been noticed that I was connected to the US server and did I want to revert back to the UK server. Unfortunately the message didn't stay on the screen long enough for me to click OK of for me to see who sent it. It may have been Microsoft or possibly from Firefox. Just before this, I had downloaded and installed several critical MS updates for Win 7.
    >I haven't added any software to this computer recently.
    >I haven't changed my ISP provider.
    I have uninstalled Firefox and will try again with a fresh installation. Possibly Firefox went wibbly.
    Thanks

    I've just reloaded Firefox Ver 9 and the problem still exists.
    Opening your link in firefox just loops and can't find a connection.
    Also, I can't make a reply.
    It seems that Firefox doesn't like Win Live Solution Centre or WLSC doesn't like Firefox.

    It works OK in IE8 (but Internet Explorer lacks the refinements of other explorers... changability, bookmarks etc)
    Hi chriswhitehead,
    Since according to you, you did not change any information on your account information, therefore this is issue is not account related. Furthermore, since you did not change your ISP provider therefore this is not an internet connection issue.
    It appears that this is a browser issue since you don't have problems with IE8 and the preferred browser does not work well with Hotmail. I have some suggest: please try to deactivate the firewall and access Hotmail via Firefox. If this does not work, please try to open your Hotmail via Firefox using other computer.
    Thanks,
    Windows Live Julius M.
    Hi Julius M
    I've tried again with Mozilla Firefox and it failed to allow me to properly open your reply and went into a ' connecting loop' when I tried to send.
    IE8 works OK. This reply is with the Opera Browser. Let me know if you get this OK and I will advise Mozilla that their system is defective.

    Chris Whitehead
    Hi Chris,
    Yes, your reply was posted properly. You can inform Mozilla about the issue.

  • Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now, and now I need to re-install snow leopard but my install DVD is damaged and I have bought a new snow leopard disc. However my iMac will not read the disc at all ?

    Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now.
    I tired to reinstall snow leopard with the install DVD that came with my iMac. However the disc is damaged so I bought a new Snow Leopard but my iMac wont read the new disc, it just stays in the apple logo screen, I have tired safe boot, holding down the "C" key on startup and tried using disc utility but getting nowhere.
    Please help. Thanks.

    Might be related, if your hard drive is a 1TB drive,it could be a Seagate drive.
    The drives are known to fail and your iMac maybe covered for free replacement under the Apple's Seagate hard drive replacement program until April 12 of this year.
    I Believe the 2009 models are covered under this replacement warranty.
    You can find out if you are eligible here.

  • I have Version 11 in the Adobe Reader now.  Now I can't open-password won't work

    I have downloaded my new verison 11--now I can't open. Password won't work

    Thank you for the message. That also tells us that you're on a Mac. The error is a strange one, -1712 means "timeout" and it's hard to think what will cause that. Some more questions. Please answer them all, or let us know if any of the questions don't make sense.
    1. Can you open the Adobe Reader app in the normal way? That is, from Applications?
    2. Can you open other PDF files, from web pages rather than mail? Here is one to try out http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/pdfs/ebxml_faq.pdf - it isn't to read it's just a test. What happens?
    3. What is your mail app? That is, at the time of this -1712 error, what app name is shown at the left of the menu bar?

  • I rented a movie on Apple TV rent now watch now ....it had to Own load which defeats the the purpose ..if I wanted to watch later I would have chose rent now watch later .   So I was not able to watch the movie when I wanted  to ...why did it sat rent anD

    I rented a move in iTunes " rent and watch now not rent now watch later however the movie was not accessible to watch .  It sort defeats the purpose of renting a movie etiquette watch right away .

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

  • I'm running 10.6.8. Should I wait to buy Mountain Lion or buy 10.7 now? now?

    I bought my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 but it appears I need to buy the upgrade to 10.7 in order to use iCloud.  Can I upgrade to 10.7 for free? If not should I just wait to buy Mountain Lion this summer?

    You cannot upgrade to Lion for free...the cost is low, though.  Only $30 (US).  That will get you more than just iCloud, there are other features as well.
    Apple has announced some of the features of Mountain Lion on the website, are those features imporant to you?  If you can live without iCloud until ML is released, date of which has not been announced, then the decision to buy now or wait is up to you.  If you can make good use of iCloud now, then why wait?

  • I just upgraded to ios7 on my iphone 4s and now have now sound when it rings

    I have tried everything I can think of in settings.  Now that I have updated to IOS7, I don't have any sound when the phone rings.  How can I get this fixed?

    Hey firestonov,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with sound after updating to iOS 7. To troubleshoot, let’s first restart your iPhone:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Additionally, check to make sure your ring/silent switch is not toggled, as well as Do Not Disturb:
    Ring/Silent switch - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
    Ring/Silent switch
    Flip the Ring/Silent switch to put iPhone in ring mode or silent mode .
    In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.
    Important: Clock alarms, audio apps such as Music, and many games play sounds through the built-in speaker, even when iPhone is in silent mode. In some areas, the sound effects for Camera and Voice Memos are played, even if the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
    For information about changing sound and vibration settings, see Sounds and silence.
    Use Do Not Disturb. You can also silence calls, alerts, and notifications using Do Not Disturb. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the Do Not Disturb button . See Do Not Disturb.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Leopard iMac now,iPad2 now,new iMac with Lion coming in May,how do I handle moving to iCloud?

    especially email, which is now in MacMail.
    As titile says I have an aging pre Intel iMac running 10.5.8, an iPad 2 with the latest iOS and I am going to replace the old G5 iMac with a new iMac running Lion in May.
    So I will transition my MobileMe to the Cloud before the world as we know it ends...
    My question is whether I can get ahead of the game by using my iPad to move to the iCloud now, and catch up with the desktop transition later--will this result in chaos later?
    I did not do a search for this because I could not fathom how to phrase the search .
    I would be grateful if some iCloud gurus could unravel this for me.
    TIA
    Caroline

    You can do either, if you migrate to iCloud now you will need to use iCloud.com from your browser to access your calendars and contacts though as iCal and address book will cease to sync.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - On a computer with iTunes verion 11.1 sing into iTunes with your account and agree there. Then try another reset on the iPod

  • When I double click Home button, all of my apps don't show in the bar -- only the four that reside there. Did a reset last night to fix the Home button (it sort of works now) but now this. Any ideas on why I can't do the fast app switch now?

    When I double click Home button to change apps quickly, only the four apps that reside on the task bar show. All of my apps would show prior to my reset of the iPad last night (to fix the Home button). Any ideas on how to fix?

    My undertanding is that when you double-click the home button, the apps that are shown are those that are currently active.  The reason you are not seeing all of them is that not all of them are active.  Before you can access an app in the multitask bar, it has to be turned on first.  As a test, try accessing the Notes application.  Return to the home screen by clicking the Home button ONCE.  Once the home screen appears, double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.  The Notes app should be on the far left.
