NW5/ZfD3 -- NW6.5/ZfD4: What to expect for Zen?

The NetWare upgrade I have covered, but I was wondering what will be
involved in the Zenworks portion.
The NetWare upgrade will be done via the Migration Wizard, so the new
server takes over the Name/ServerID/etc. of the old one.
I already know ZfD3 wil NOT work with NW6.5, so I assume that ZfD will all
be shut down during the Migration, then afterwards we will be doing the
ZfD3-->4 upgrade.
Can anyone tell me more specifically what will be involved in the ZfD
upgrade portion and/or point me towards the appropriate (free) resources?
Thank You,
Kyle DeWolfe

P.S. If there is a search feature on these forums I would like to know how
that works also. thx.

Recent Grad - needs help on what to expect for phone interview

Hi, I am a recent computer science graduate of DePaul university. I have been looking for an entry level full time position for the past three months and I finally got a nible. The problem is I have never had a phone interview and I really don't know what to expect. I really need this job so I want to prepare myself as much as possible. The position in and entry level programmer/analyst. Below is the job description, can someone please tell me wher I can find some quick reference for COBOL and C++. I took a class in both and did pretty well but that was school and this is real life. Again, I really want this position and I am a really quick study. Can someone please tell me what kinds of questions I should prepare to answer. I know the is a java forum but I was hoping one of you professional programmers can point me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, no. Just need time to get to your post. If you have not had your interview already try this.
One, bone up on your basic program structures.
Know basic keywords, etc.
Have your books in front of you and open to some topics that seem like test questions.
Review the content of the books that are pertinent. Prepare for the interview like you would a test.
ABOVE ALL - RELAX, sound confident that if you do not know the answer now you can look it up. This is an entry level position - They do not expect you to know everything - just have a basic understanding and be able to go from there.
Do not be afraid to say "I don't know but I know where to look in xxxx book".
Sorry, been busy today just got to forums.
If you posted without allowing a few hours for a reply then ....

Not what I expected

So instead of arguing with a billing agent, I had to hang up with them and regain my composure. I for one do not expect anything for free. I work my tail off for what I have and when I pay for something, I expect it to be nothing but what I paid for. So I have a little back ground of my experience from signing up for X1 and giving up my regular boxes. I'll post what has transpired from my conversation about an hour ago. The next paragraph was sent private message to one of the forum mods in which I have yet to hear back from Seems like I fell into the unhappy comcast customer pool. So I have been waiting since Last Thursday for a billing supervisor to contact me. Been on hold almost a half hour just now trying to speak with someone. This is why I'm not happy.1. The first time I spoke to an agent and ordered the X1 SIK(6/12), he botched the shipping and I had to wait almost 2 weeks for my equipment.2. Got the DVR running in 10 minutes as I stated to you before and the 3 other boxes were no good. Speaking with the tech that day for almost 2 hrs says he is sending a tech to the house no charge to me with 3 new boxes.3. The tech arrives 6/20 and tell me its not the boxes, not the wiring but the network that updates the boxes has an issue and after 9 pm that night, I can hook the boxes back up and all is good. He did not bring any boxes into the house to even try. All of the 3 did not work like he said. Also got a call around 5:30 pm that night confirming a Sunday 5 pm tech visit for wiring issues. I had no idea this was happening and I cancelled it. I was not going to be home anyways4. Called tech support 6/21 and that agent tried to reset the boxes which failed and said I needed another tech visit in which now I had to wait until 6/25 and would be no charge to me.5. The tech gets to the house on 6/25 and the guy explains that he only has 1 of the type of boxes I have with him but has 2 newer Xi3 boxes that would require to give up the 4th tuner in the dvr, so I can only record 3 shows and not 4, fine I said so he installed. The 2 guys were quick and very happy the tv's were all working.6. The new bill arrives via email and states I'm being charged 39.95 for the tech visit and $79 for installation. Why on earth would I have to pay that when I was promised the free visits? They should go back to my converstions with the agents to verify this if they want. They also installed a signal booster and took a picture of the wire mess the first tech left behind when he attempted to add line splitters. I also understand that the old equipment is listed on the account and Comcast should have them by now. I sent them UPS last Thursday. The tech took the 3 bad X1 boxes with him. I just want to get those charges off my bill and get on with it. I have spent so much time dealing with this. Any help you can give or even forward this to someone who can make it happen. I'm sorry to hit you with all of this. So today 7/5 I look at my account and the bill is $425... Yes my triple play runs us now about $225 a month and thats just with Starz added. Thats acceptable. I'm being told today that because it wasn't noted on the account, I have to pay for the tech visits now. They will only take off 39.95 thats noted on the account. I want the $130 removed like I was promised. The amount increased from the original 79 and 39.95. Plus The bill changed from 215.30 to 175.35 with a due date of 6/29 because of switching services I guess and now that extra 39.95 is back on the bill as well. Can they not go back to the recordings of the conversations and listen to these agents telling me what they were offering?Please if this is being seen by supervisors, by all means call me so we can straighten this out. I was hoping that I was going to be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have problems but being a long time customer, this is totally unacceptable and you will lose us as a customer. So if anyone can learn something from this is have the agent note everything on your account and get a copy sent to you. That will save wasted time dealing with these problems

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Gonna Take my G5 in for service (Applecare) What to expect?

Hey guys, years ago i bought my beloved dual G5. This thing has served me INCREDIBLY well and has taken some serious abuse, not physically, but constant rendering 24/7, heavy audio recording, more rendering+assigning net-rendering, basically one huge workhorse.
WEll this past year things kind of quit working. Most annoyingly, video card just quit working with openGL, ie anything that requires openGL just shows up black veiwports. next we have the gigabit ethernet, that just REFUSES to fully connect. I installed a PCI network card, and i hate being back on 100mb lan. Icing on the cake was dvd burner hardly works. I think even moreso something is up with the IDE channel, because i put another compatible burner in and get nothing but i/o errors.
And lets not forget all the problems that randomly occur when using firewire/usb devices. Random complete lockups (in PC world id say bad power supply) FW devices appearing/disappearing
So i figured my applecare ran out, but i checked it and what do ya know? It's sitll in effect itl april 22nd. YAY!
What i mean by what to expect is, I've heard the stories of people taking in their mac's and coming back with more modern machines because what they brought in just hasnt been around in forever. So what am i to expect? Should i just to be safe remove my extra hard drives/ram? I know everything is intel now, allot of recording and 3D plugins i run are still PowerPC, though more and more everyday are UB. So basically, are they going to fix up my machine (totally fine with me) or is there a chance i'd come out of this with some intel machine?
I know whatever apple does i'll be happy and back to work in the end. The problems arent from misuse, the machine sits in a clean environment, i watch the temps in the summer, and i take great care of it. i say it's more from overuse. They were incredibly helpful when i brought them an ancient G3 wallstreet a few years ago. Told me they didnt support it, but sitll told me what was wrong, where to get the new parts, all for free at the geek bar.
Any thoguhts? I know i should call em, but its easter. Im just excited i dont have to pay out the arse to get my machine back to where it used to be.

Oh theyll just charge me to backup? I'm not too worried, i have most of my important stuff on my second hdd, anything else i can throw all over my network. And ill remove anything 3rd party that was installed by me (Ram, HDD, network card cause mine died)
I was actually just going to format it before i take it in. Forgot to call em today, grr..
My only complaint, i'll have to reload everything! Unless i can find about 50gigs to make an image of my OS drive and throw it somewhere..hmm...
I still cant believe its under warranty. That made my week. Though i hope they dont need EVERYTHING, ie mouse and keyboard cause yea, i gave my original mouse to a now ex gf, and i'm using a 5 button belkin.
I'm sitting back watching my buddies have issues with Micro$oft and their XBox 360's. one guys on his 3rd, the other his second. Wont let them transfer/backup stuff they payed for, DRM wont let them move it, Microsoft is calling shenanigans since they've exchanged it and registered so many serial numbers, they think theres hacking going on...
If only other places were as caring as apple.

Extract Pages- and the Split- not doing what I expect them to

I have a document created in Illustrator (CS4) which has multiple artboards. I want it split into multiple documents, one art board—> one document with only that artwork. When I use the Extract PAges… and the Split… comands to generate multiple documents, I get the multiple docs (same number of docs created as pages in original doc).
Only thing is every doc has all the artboards and all the artwork as the original doc. I could understand all the artwork being there but all the artboards also?? What's going on?
Appreciate any pointers on this.
Trying to write a JSX to run in AI but struggling so far. Thread for AI solution started here: AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

I don't expect mind reading but I'l settle for careful reading
I tried to explain how pages and artboards are qualitatively different objects only to be told they are the same thing and that's all I needed to say.
I tried to explain that opening the very same file in Illustrator showed a lot more objects than it did in Acrobat. You probably don't remember because you breezed over something that you didn't think you needed to know because you were, at each stage, a step ahead of me (slow down already!).
From my second post:
I can't remember if Splitting gave enumerate files or the one file but either way ALL the artwork was in the enumerate files if they got made [.…] I ended up saving as CS3 .ai files which gives a Save artboards to seperate files option and, unlike the artboard range option on Save As PDF, it actually works.
From my third post
An artboard is not a page as far as Acrobat and Illustrator apps are concerned. I was trying to highlight the distinctly different way the two apps handle them. I can watch a one page with just one shape document in Acrobat become a 20 artboard, 40+ objects layout in Illustrator. Same document interpreted as one Page in Acrobat and 23 artboards in AI.
I was on this forum because even a manual Document Menu> Split… command is not doing what I expected with the AI generated 23pp PDF file. I expected the 23 individual 'artboards' and content to each make a separate file.
Thom Parker wrote:
I don't remember you mentioning that you re-imported the PDF files into Illustrator. This is an important detail. You also posted to an Acrobat scripting forum and never said you were not interested in an Acrobat Script. You also never explained the problem you were seeing. You were never clear.
Covered that but note Illustrator doesn't import PDF files. .ai .eps and .pdf are all native files for Illustrator and just open, sometimes with an additional dialogue to choose a page from multiple pages. It imports .dwg, .svg and that sort of thing relying on translator plugins. This is the fourth time I'm saying I should have posted in Acrobat Win or Mac not scripting, apologies I was scripting when I made OP and probably frustrated. You were more clear it's true, clearly ignoring what I was getting at in each post re artboard cf. page objects.
You see, in a PDF file each page has it's own content stream, i.e., a stream of vector graphics operators. Graphics can be drawn anywhere in the coordinate space, but the page view is clipped by a crop rectangle. So graphics can exist in the stream, but never be visible to the user because they are outside the crop. I get the impression that in Illustrator the Artboards all exist in a single coordinate space? And that the conversion to PDF places this entire coordinate space into a single content stream. Then each page would be a different crop of the same content stream. If this is the case then I believe there are PDF optimization operations in Acrobat that would fix your problem by removing all content outside the crop.
Yeah I've hacked lots of PDF files in AI. They use more than one clipping rect per page from memory. Correct, the artboards are defined in a single co-ord space it would seem — artboards are discretely and independently located on the document canvas and can even overlap each other. Yes those operations might work, I never though of that, I came across an Illustrator based solution early on in this thread. There's no conversion going on in Acrobat though I think, the file stays native PDF from AI to Acrobat and back to AI. As I've noted it's the way Acrobat displays or parses the data that in effect hides all the 'off-page' objects but open the same file in AI and it's all still there.
You know, we can't read minds, you actually have to explain what it is you need.
I didn't know it, but I needed to get a confirmation on the artboardRange property bug in Illustrator CS4 and/or a confirmation that artboards are not treated as page objects, and I ended up having to lecture you on something you may have no interest in, sorry if I've been a pain. This is part of bigger bug elsewhere that I've been trying to get resolved or around on and off for a month. Every turn another bug, it gets confusing and frustrating at times

First Generated Bill DOUBLE what I expected!!!

I just received my first generated bill. It is DOUBLED what I expected!!! I changed plans in the middle of the month to increase my calling minutes and I added four "friends and family." They added $120.00 in "Monthly Access Fees." This is after the fact I have not received my $100 Blackberry Rebate!!!
Is this what I can expect from Verizon every month???? Off I go to the Mass. Attorney General's office.

You just made my day, 48VJ!!!!!

Additional charges on the first bill may be due to prorating for a partial month, then full billing for the next month (as budone stated). Changing plans in the middle of the month also pro-rates your minutes for each part of the month, and can drastically increase your bill. For instance, if you were on a 700 minute plan, and changed at the midpoint to 1400 minutes, the first half of the month's allowance would be 350 minutes; so if you were at, say, 500 minutes by that point, then you would be charged with 150 overage minutes. If this is what happened, then you should call Customer Service (as has been suggested multiple times) and ask them to BACKDATE the plan change to cover the entire first month of service.
Also, your Friends and Family numbers do NOT apply to the whole month, just from the day they were added. Any calls made to those numbers before they were added to your account will subtract from your allowance.
Hope you get this all worked out....

What To Expect As Exchange Is Upgraded To ADSL2+

Hi
Currently I have ADSL Max with 8128/448 down/up line speeds. I get around 7 meg actual download speed. I use a TP-Link ADSL2+ modem router instead of the HomeHub 2 because the wireless network in the HomeHub kept crashing all the time (bug in firmware).
Yesterday I typed my phone number into the checker to see what line speed I should be getting these days and it gave me the ADSL2+ figures saying I should get around 17 meg download.
Called BT support who confirmed my exchange has been upgraded. They moved my line onto another channel and said that the speed should increase within a few hours. It didn’t so I called again and was told that even though the exchange had been upgraded, it would take several weeks for all the subscriber lines to be moved over to the new equipment so I should be patient.
I’m presuming that when my line is moved, the electrical connection will be broken, I will lose broadband temporarily and my router will automatically reconnect at the higher speed once the line is connected to the new equipment. Is that right or should I periodically reboot my router over the next week or so?
Is there anything else I should do in order to get ADSL2+ as soon as possible?
Thanks
PP
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just in case it helps any others in future, I thought I would post what actually happened to me so others can know what to expect.
1. The offshore support people haven't got a clue. They gave me false information.
2. About 10 days ago I had an internet chat with another support guy (seemed like he was based in UK). He said I would have to phone in after 10/12/11 and sign up to a new contract in order to get the speed bump. This turned out to be false information too.
3. Earlier this week I received an email from BT telling me that my line would be upgraded today and to expect exactly what john46 told me on this thread. That's exactly what happened half an hour ago.
I now have about 16mbps download speed and the whole internet experience is a lot snappier.
I do however wish that BT could get its act together. It is obvious that the support people haven't been properly briefed.
Happy days

Pause frames on blade interfaces, what is expected?

I am putting together a UCS runbook for an operational team to use to help with troubleshooting Cisco UCS. I was leveraging some Cisco Live presentations including 'BRKCOM-3002 - UCS Performance Troubleshooting'. In this presentation, when looking at congestion inside UCS the presenter makes a reference to check for pause frames...in this customer's environment I ran the same command for documenting the procedure and noticed many Tx pause frames. Is this normal? Unfortunately I have never checked these counters in other environments so I have nothing to base it off. There are 0 pause frames on LAN uplink interfaces and only a few 100 pause frames on the server downlink interfaces to the FEX. This environment is running VMware ESXi 5.5 U1.

What To Expect With MDT 2013 Multicast from WDS 2008 R2?

I am having a hard time finding out what to expect when setting this up. I don't think anyone has posted a demo video showing it in action or even a detailed blog with screenshots. The only multicast videos I have seen were old ones of WDS multicasting
that had no reference to MDT.
What I understand is, once I have working WDS integration with PXE boot, all I need to do is go into properties of the deployment share then select the option to enable multicast support and then update the deployment share. After that everything is
supposed to work as long as the network supports multicasting.
So, how does it work from there? How do you take advantage of it?
When I boot up a workstation to deploy to, where do I configure the specific deployment task to use multicasting (or not if I am just imaging a single system)? When I boot the second and third machine to image, what are the steps to join the ongoing
multicast? Do you pick the deployment task from the wizard again or does any machine booted to MDT join any in-progress multicast automatically?
Can you use the wizard to select different optional installed applications for different machines when using a multicast?
If you are imaging 30 workstations, can you configure it start the multicast when the 30th connection is made or does it start as soon as the first one joins?

Once multicasting is set in the deployment share it will become the default method of deploying an image for clients connecteing to that deployment point. As far as I'm aware the boot disk does not need to be updated for this to take affect.
Multicasting in WDS is a rolling session.. It will start as soon as the first client connects and will end when the last machine finishes. Machines can come and go throughout the session.
There are more options that can be applied (such as number of machines to wait for) but you need to change registry settings to do this.
I did have a GUI for this on my to do list.. but never got around to it. Maybe it's worth another look.

Boundary on "CASE WHEN" does not what i expect

Hi!
The results of query1 are exactly what i expect but when i compare the counts with CASE WHEN (query2) then i get double records where the count is exactly 8. The value of Result on the second record becomes Null. This seems to me somewhat strange.
Any suggestion?
query1:

NVL(inline_view_finalresult.u_overruled_result,inline_view_finalresult.u_calculated_result)does not return double records without the CASE WHEN (see below) but i don't understand why it comes that when i compares the counts in a CASE WHEN that i get double records where the second record has value Null as Result. Could somebody provide me with a solution?

Updating from 10.2.8 to 10.3+ .... What to expect? (the good & bad)

If I'm making the upgrade from my current OS 10.2.8 to OS 10.3+ (10.3.9 probably), what are some of the problems that may occur, if any?
I have alot of software on my eMac (Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, misc. etc. - 72 applications in total), that I am worried about loosing through an upgrade. What is the best procedure to use (with the Apple 10.3 installer) to avoid as many possible problems as possible?
Also, I have two LaCie external hard drives attached, are there any precautions that should be taken with the OS 10.3 upgrade for these as well?
Obviously, I want to spend as little time doing the upgrade, but have a feeling I will be attempting to fix upgrade problems for weeks, or months after the OS 10.3 upgarde is made. This is why I have stayed with the OS 10.2.8 on this eMac.
Any advice, or serious issues to watch for on upgrading to OS 10.3+ would be appreciated.

Hi DavidMac!
Although I agree with Kappy & Gulliver, that your questions have been asked and answered numerous times, I'll once again post some information.
Your computer specifications will be a determing factor, of which version of OS X you can successfully upgrade to.
If your eMac meets the system requirements for the OS, precautioary measures, like a backup, are taken, and the upgrade is done properly, you should not encounter any problems.
But regarding your Third-Party applications, you should check to be sure, that there are upgrades, to make them compatible with the newer OS version, before upgrading your system.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.8 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look like the images in the above links, unless purchased from AppleRescue.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the currrent version.

Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."

Orders must be mailed by March 19, 2007.
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD

Snippets don't do what I expected... Any ideas to get expected results?

I will have approx. 340 pages spanning over 100 documents (for eventual use with Digital Publishing Suite).
I would like to design content that will be used in a manner similarly to master page content that I would like to span multiple documents, but be editable and update all pages.
Old snippets in GoLive (long time ago) used to allow you to make changes to the master snippet, and those changes would update all connected pages with the corrected content.
Is there a way in InDesign to connect document contents in this manner? It doesn't have to be snippets. Any method or tool will do.
Thanks

Nice to hear from you Bob, you've helped me many times before. I've been in these forums since 2005 or so. Since the hack....
Ultimately I will use the what I find for DPS, but I considered this open ground for InDesign, because I think what I'm trying to pull off may reach farther than DPS. If you think more appropriate for me to move the thread I will be happy to.
The "Content Creation tools" that you refer to, where might I find them?
Thanks a bunch

How to Interpret vmstat & iostat - what to look for

Hi
I can't find any solid perfomance resources so I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction
I have abox & wonder if it's performing OK as such I enclose a vmstat & iostat
Even if it is, Can anyone point me on what spike to look out for ?

Things run poorly when you run out of something... RAM, I/O, CPU, .... Generally that means that work has to wait until more of that resource becomes available.
Your vmstat shows that you're not running out of memory or CPU, and you don't have processes blocked. Your iostat isn't very comprehensive (iostat -nx is usually better), but doesn't look bad for I/O. Finally, all of that depends on your workload and what you expect. If you're running a database, having a server run with 0% idle CPU is probably very bad. If you're running a compute server in a grid, having a server run with 0% idle CPU is probably good.

What's needed for a PDF processing module for InDesign Server?

Hello,
After digging through lots of documentation and whitepapers, I am still puzzled about what would be an efficient way to implement a software module that handles some specific processing tasks of PDF output (automatically generated in InDesign Server and targeted for various types of print configurations from small-run LFP up to very high volume commercial printing).
We have a working standalone script that uses Acrobat's preflight and correction functions, and now we would like to port and integrate this into a server-based workflow. Apparently, there is no Acrobat Server product available. Distiller Server does exist, but seems to be limited to converting PostScript to PDF without the PDF-to-PDF processing features we need. Some of the functionality that is typically found in RIPs (e.g. converting colours to a preset output intent with highly configurable options [for pixel/vector elements, black and spot colour ink issues etc.] and flattening native transparency) could probably be implemented using the Adobe PDF Print Engine, but this seems a bit overkill and would probably require extensive programming from scratch. I suspect there should be a smarter way to use existing software – but which? I am not yet familiar with InDesign Server; does its SDK permit full access to the same parts/functions of the PDF library that Acrobat uses for its preflight and correction features?
Any help is welcome.
Eric
