Recommended hardware for new remote office configuration

Hello I'm looking for anyone who can provide hardware recommendations to me for networking two offices. Have one host location and one small remote location with about three users and I want to create a site to site VPN over a cable connection and still have the security and performance in place. I'm no networking guru so I'm looking for a router/switch/firewall that is relatively simple to configure yet has the security I need for both locations. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I would have choose SA520 or SA540. SA520 even have a wireless feature
Well, for ASA/PIX, you can refer to VPN Tunnel ASDM Configuration for both ASA and PIX in this link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5855/products_configuration_example09186a0080a9a7a3.shtml
Do note that in the guide, the S2S VPN configuration is between PIX/ASA and Cisco Router. You can replace the procedure in Cisco Router with the procedure from PIX/ASA using the given value in Cisco Router.

Hardware for New User of CS5 Master Collection

I just ordered a copy of CS5 Master Collection and was wondering what new desktop hardware setup I should get. I'm interested primarily in website developement. I would like to get a machine that could be expanded just in case I decide to get into video editing and such. I have found a basic system that I can purchase for $2258. that can be upgraded from the basics offered before I purchase it. Here are its specs:
Hewlett Packard Z400 Workstation - Embedded 1394 Firewire Adapter

Full 3 Year HP On-Site Warranty!
What delivered hardware would you change?
What suggestions would you have on upgrades I should do to the system before delivery?
Thanks,

What delivered hardware would you change?
The HP system.
HP is not bad, but it is expensive, it comes with a proprietary and underperforming PSU, that can not be exchanged, it is not capable of overclocking, it has very limited expansion capabilities, it only comes with a single disk drive, an outdated mediocre video card, etc. and if you add anything to the system, they steal you blind.
You are much better off with a build it yourself system or go to a custom builder like ADK.
Start by reading the articles that appear in the drop down box when you click the Overview tab, then look around this forum where there are lots of threads about systems and their configurations.

Recommendations please for new P4 motherboard

I think I need to get a new motherboard, I think it's had it. :(
I have recently forked out on a P4 2.8 478 pin CPU, DDR 266 PC2100 ram and new IDE HDDs.
So could I have your recommendations or a motherbaord that can use the above and that would be upgradeable at a later date.
Regards,
Kevin

Um.
Still a few for sale, although I would like to get onboard video, always handy.
What would you recommend for P4 2.8 and PC2100 CL2.5 non-ECC non-Registered DDR266 DIMM.

Recommended ExpressCards for new 17" MBP for video editing

Ok, so after sitting on the fence for months I had to buy the new 17" MBP. I just couldn't wait any longer and my trusty PB G4 is getting slow.
After reading the enormous amounts of posts I can see why people are so upset about losing the ExpressCard slot in the 15" models.
But, for the 17" models does anyone have any good suggestions of Expresscards? And what is the optimum set-up I should go for?
I am an Avid and Final Cut editor using a 4-pin Firewire Sony DVCAM deck and two Western Digital External Drives daisy-chained together.
Would love some advice.
thanks!

The Sony DVCAM is FW400 (aka iLink, aka IEEE1394a), so a 4-pin-to-6-pin or -to-9-pin cable will do. I'd get the 4-pin-to-9-pin (FW800 is fully backward compatible with FW400) so you can connect directly to the MBP's FW800 port, if needed. You can just get a FW800 ExpressCard, since it's backward compatible.
I'd recommend this one:

Mac Mini Sever - Public Share - how enable read and write permissions for new remote files

Hi,
this Sunday a friend ask me to help hum with a problem on is Man Mini Server. He has a small office and uses the mini server to share a public folder to all his employees.
Everyone that creates a file, saves it to the public folder at the mini mac.
That problem is that, who creates the file owns it and remains with read-only permissions to everyone else. The owner has to change the file permission in order to the rest of the employees can work on it.
I do not know mac arquitecture, I only work with windows and linux, but i suspect the principles are the same.
We try to create another folder , and share it, but it happens the same. Have you any ideas on what is wrong?
I suspect it has anything to do with de file Sharing at the mini mac, but it has read and write permissions for everyone.
Thanks for your help.

signed applet. You aren't going to find any easy way to distribute that policy file to users, and that policy file, if you asked me to put it on my PC, I'd tell you to take a flying leap. That would open any applet to access.

Where can I get Net 8 on its own for new remote installation?

I require to install Net 8 on a remote SQL Server/Windows 2000 Server and as the connection is very delicate I need to just copy the installation file for Net 8 across.
I have it in our 9i pack and on the Oracle Forms and reports CD but how do I get it on its own? Is in on a resource pack?

I haven't seen a small (standard) install since 7.3.x. Do you need 8.0.x or 8.1.x?
I guess you could try in your PC first to customize a stage area to cut down on some subdirs/files. Maybe it's easier to just send the CD by mail?
At a minimum OCI, Net and RSF files are required, maybe ~50MB (or less?). But there's no real minimal standard Client install. (Maybe 10g Instant Client will change that!)

Recommended hardware for iPhone/iPad app development

What are the minimum system requirements for a comfortable development platform for iPhone and iPad apps? I know OSX 10.6 is required, but do I want/need a fast processor and/or lots of RAM? Would a new base-model Macbook be sufficient?

Raw off the shelf Mac mini here, just hobbyist, not pro. But it works just fine. If your looking at low cost entry level, just getting your feat wet. Or expect to be able tpo afford more later, then its just fine.

Recommended speed for remote connectivity

Dear Sir,
My server is situated a Head Office, and we will be having 3 to7 users connecting to SAP Business One from Their Factory Location.
I recommend a lease line with speed of 512 kbps for 2 to 3 user and 1 mbps for upto 7 user will be satisfactory.
Please recommend.

Hi,
For a remote user, it is terminal server or citrix that can make the user able to run B1. SAP support portal explained detail about it.
Here is the link:
http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/platforms
The better speed is minimum 1 Mbps

Remote Office DHCP_REQD problem - users cannot receive IPs

Dears,
I am trying to implement a remote office into our WLC 5508 environment.
Actually I have already did everything
- Local DHCP - OK
- VLANs at SW CORE - OK
- Lightweight AP already connected to a access switch, port in trunk, w/ "native vlan 3"
- HQ and Remote Office have different VLAN names but I have already did the vlan mapping
HQ
Remote Office
For some reason, users in remote office can authenticate very well... but they do not receive IPs...
Also, at the beggining of all this process, even after the new remote AP joined to WLC, for some reason all SSIDs received were not appearing to all users.... I had to go thru WLAN > AP GROUPS, then create a group "REMOTE" and added all WLANs (wnet, guest, mobile, consulting...) and the new remote office AP (AP01-RJOP) to that group... did I do right ?
Does anybody have a documentation explaining how to implement this environment in a remote office ?
thanks!
Thanks in advance!!

AP Groups are optional so it must be a configuration that was missed. Tale a look at this support doc which is step by step.

HREAP and Remote Office VLAN

We have a corporate office which we have a 5508 WLC and 2 WiSMs (v7.0.116) and WCS (v7.0.172) and rolling out remote offices which will have 2 or 3 APs (1142N). I setup the first remote office with wireless using HREAP and its working well. Configuring the WLAN for the remote office we select an interface we created with the VLAN at the remote office and now that we are preparing for the next remote office can I use the same VLAN for the second office? For example, we are using local switching for a WLAN using VLAN 6 and will need the same at the second remote office.
Thanks for any help.
Jeff

if you are user FlexConnect, and are on 7.2 or better code on the WLC.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.2/configuration/guide/cg_flexconnect.html#wp1247954
If you are not using FlexConnect, which you said you weren't, the traffic doesn't get locally switched. it all is handeld at the WLC.

Remote Office with Location tracking and WIPS

Hey guys,
I have a question about Cisco wireless for remote offices. My client is switching to Cisco for their wireless. The services that is going to be needed are location tracking and WIPS and data. The data part may come later and it is not approved yet. For now, it is going to be just location tracking for rogue devices etc and wIPS.
I know for data we can do Flexconnect, but for location tracking and wIPS, how are we going to deploy this? Does Flexconnect APs would be able to do LBS and wIPS services and data?
We currently have Moto APs deployed with 3 radios which is capable of LBS, wIPS, and data. Basically, the 3rd radio does the LBS and wIPS. Also, we are using the RF-Domain Manager per branch office. I am not sure if Cisco has something similar.
Thanks

So, you could do FlexConnect for the remote offices, but RLDP (wired detection) might not work:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10315/products_tech_note09186a0080b3690b.shtml#anc8
Domain Manager should be similar to PI:

SAP BI Dataflow for new GL

Hi Experts. I have seen the following dataflow for the new GL
0FI_GL_10 --> 0FI_GL_10 --> 0FIGL_C10 (for Totals)
0FI_GL_14 --> 0FIGL_O14 (for Line item)
Question1: The DSO 0FIGL_O14 does not feed the cube. Any particular reason for that?
So If I want line item reporting my best solution will be RRI? Correct!!
Question2: SAP recommended dataflow for new GL uses virtual cube 0FIGL_V10. Why do we need it or what reporting needs it satisfies?
Thanks.

Question1: The DSO 0FIGL_O14 does not feed the cube. Any particular reason for that?
So If I want line item reporting my best solution will be RRI? Correct!!
U already have GL totals available at 0FIGL_C10 and then no point in loading line items (O14) again to cube.
Yes.. Best approach for line item reports is RRI i.e. from 0FIGL_C10 to O14.
Question2: SAP recommended dataflow for new GL uses virtual cube 0FIGL_V10. Why do we need it or what reporting needs it satisfies?
SAP delivered function module RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET_VC10 pulls data from 0FIGL_C10 to load 0FIGL_V10... Logic for cumulative balances considering carry forward balances from previous year for Balance sheet & P/L reports, is maintained in that function module.
(So, make sure this FM got installed while u installed standard content for GL model
Do the following, to see weather FM got installed.
Goto change mode of virtual provider (ZFIGL_V10). click information icon (blue 'i')
click 'Type/ Namespace'.. Then click 'details' button
If there is no FM, u won't get any data to 0FIGL_V10 and related queries.
And also 0FIGL_V10 uses Financial Statement Version object (0GLACCEXT), which is not available in 0FIGL_C10.
For Balance sheet & P/L reports, 0GLACCEXT is key object, so 0FIGL_VC10 is must.
U should install & load master (attr, hier, text) data for 0GLACCEXT.

Proper Configuration of DNS server for our new branch office

Hi All,
Our new office will setup a new branch office with a routed network link to our HO. In HO, we have 2 domain controllers configured as AD and DNS just for fail over scenarios.
How will we configure the DNS server of our 3rd domain controller which we will placed in the new branch office. What would be the proper settings of DNS server integrated to AD to work well especially to have a successful replication and communication to
the 2 DC's located in HO?

Hi,
If you have multiple DC's in that site i would recommend using any of the partner DC's IP addresses as preferred one and secondary DNS IP to pointing to itself. Dont use loopback addresses configure it with actual IP addresses.
If you have only one server in branch office point itself as the primary DNS and HO DC as secondary and tertiary.
Make sure that all clients in your branch site are pointing to the branch DC as primary DNS server.
Regards,
Rafic

New DC for Remote Office also has Large DFSR Share - Promote to DC before or after its in its Final Location?

I'm Adding a 2nd 2012R2 DC to a remote location and it is going to have a large DFSR share on it. I wanted to start the DFSR replication and get everything replicated on the new server while it is still in the HQ Office and Connected via Gigabit network.
The Server will also be a Replacement DC for the remote location. If I make the Server a DC in the HQ Subnet, then Change its IP Address once Its Onsite I should be okay as long as I make sure that I move the server into the Correct Site and make
sure DNS has the new IP Address. Any other Gotcha's ?
Thanks!

In addition, once you've moved the DC and changed the IPs, run:
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon
Then go through EACH and every zone in DNS, including the NS records, A records, GcIpAddress (the GC records under gc._msdcs.domain.local), the LdapIpAddres (the 'same as parent' name under domain.local), and dig down into the SRV records to make sure
everything is correct.
