Replication broken after demoting DC

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading our Domain Controllers to Server 2012 R2.
Today I was about to demote on of my Server 2008 R2 DCs. I ran dcpromo on the server and it went through without errors.
The DC that was demoted was the inbound replication partner for all other DCs (links automatically created by KCC).
After the demotion was done I noticed all other DCs except one had replication issues.
The current state of the AD is now that another DC have been set as replication partner for all other DCs. But, this change have only managed to sync to that DC. The rest of the DCs still want to replicate with the newly demoted DC.
Looks something like this:
DC3 was demoted
DC2 was automatically set to replication partner for all DCs
DC1 is still trying to replicate with DC3
What did I do wrong to make this happen and what can I do to fix it :) ?
Regards Erik

check the ds event log of dc1 and if it still knows about dc3 in users and computers and in sites and services. if that is the case then dc1 is experiencing replication issues. using sites and services replicate the config nc from one of the remaining
dcs to dc1

MacBook Pro with Retina 13" Late 2013 thunderbolt port broken after 10.9.4 update

One of Thunderbolt Port (near USB port) was broken after 10.9.4 update.
I usually use mini Display Port to Display Port cable to connect my external screen, it works fine before 10.9.4 update. After 10.9.4 update, I tried to connect the external screen with the same cable, and the main screen of my MacBook Pro with Retina Display twinkling once so I'm sure the external screen was identified, but no video signal output.
I went to local Apple Premium Reseller (there is no Apple Store in Taiwan) and the they told me all of Thunderbolt Port was fine, they test with their own 10.9.2 copy and it seems ok. After that, I tried to re-install 10.9.4, downloading directly from Apple, the system re-install progress was complete but the Thunderbolt Port issue still there.
I connect to the broken Thunderbolt Port with Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter, and it works fine, so I believe the only problem is that there is no video signal output from the Thunderbolt Port (near USB port one).
What should I do now?
Model: MacBook Pro with Retina 13" Late 2013

I can confirm that problem, too: Im' working with a Dell U2713HM display, connected via display port. Since 10.9.4 Update i'm experiencing random black screens and/or display going to energy saving mode. Today i've had this issue twice: Display going black and after disconnecting the macbook von all cables screen of the macbook remaining black. Holding Power Button for about 10 s restarts the macbook. After 5 minutes the same problem appeared again.

[SOLVED] nfsroot install broken after kernel upgrade 3.5.6 to 3.6.2

It seems my nfsroot installations have broken after the kernel upgrade to 3.6.2.
This is as far as the boot process gets now (hand copied from the screen):

It looks to me like the client is sending the mount request, the server accepts and then for some reason the client thinks it has failed. I can't even see anything strange in the wireshark traces comparing the working client (3.5.6) to the broken one (3.6.2).
Anyone else using nfsroot successfully with the latest kernel?
Any other ideas?
(by the way - despite my directory names, this is using nfs v3 for the rootfs)

So I wonder if it asking for the wrong path.
That unmount issue will be solved by FS#32021.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help with mounting in the first place with 3.6.2

Freehand import of CS5 broken after installing CS6

Hello,
on my windows 7 machine my freehand import of Illustrator CS5 and CS4 is broken after installing cs6 creative cloud.
I can still select a freehand file to open and the dialog box appears, but after choosing OK nothing happens. No file opens and no error appears. It doesn´t depend on the freehand file because my other machine with CS3 can still open these files.
What can i do to repair illustrator? - it´s part of a master collection install.
Siegfried Baldauf

Adobe has dropped support for Freehand import in CS6. You will have to either use an older version of AI and then save it to AI or open them in Freehand and then export to a format that AI can import.
open the Open file Dialog and see the files that illustrator CS6 can open. Here is the list of supported files that AI CS6 can open

EarPod cable is broken after 13 months

My EarPod cable is broken after 13 months, thus just 1 month out of warranty. I wonder if this is usual for an Apple product during very normal use. The effects are that the sound is broken sometimes and that the remote does not function anymore. I do not know this effect from earlier headphones while using them for listening to music and/or phone calls. Have earlier products been more robust? Can I apply for refund or a new EarPod?

As you noted, it's out of warranty so you can get neither a refund nor a replacement at no cost. You'll need to purchase new ones. Or just ask around. Many people who buy iPhones never use them (I can't stand them) so someone you know with an iPhone may have an unopened set lying around.

My TV was broken after cable connect and TV channel searching

My Thoshiba 40U TV does not turn on after I received from 1st owner and repair shop.
I checked many possible causions ( Overcurrent, damage during delivery, etc.)
I found that My TV was broken after cable connect and TV channel searching.
The repair shop gave up and suggested to refund money.
Maybe I have to buy new one.
I want to know why the TV is broken. Have you heard that TV is broken after TV channel searching?

Can't bind server to OD, replication broken, users at some sites can't auth

Hi all,
Having a doozy of a problem with our OD at the moment, hopefully someone can help
The setup:
1 OD master and 3 replicas at head office here, all running 10.5.5 (issue also occurred in 10.5.4)
Around a dozen remote AFP & SMB file servers, all are setup as "Connected to a directory system"
Most sites are OK, but we have issues at 2 sites.
Setting each site to "Connected to a directory system" fails at the Directory Utility stage. We try and add the master (or even some of the replicas), put in the diradmin name and password, and attempt to bind, but it responds with an error after a while.
The error states that there is already a computer with this name, and prompts to overwrite. Overwriting fails also.
I did a search and found this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1245
and this:
http://forums.bombich.com/viewtopic.php?t=11834&highlight=lkdc
But neither tips help
Attempting to set up the 2 remote servers as replicas stops at the "Enabling Password Server Replication" stage. I can close out of the assistant at this stage and am left with a "broken" replica, which has 2 out of 3 things running:
LDAP Server: Running
Password Server: Stopped
Kerberos: Running
On the master it says "Password Service Not Found"
So it seems that setting up replicas on a different subnet doesn't work.
I've tried getting my ISP to set up a static route for the VPN tunnel, and this worked for a set of blank test servers with no extra users added to them.
Interestingly, setting a user's password to "Crypt" in WGM allows them to authenticate to the "broken replica" and access their files. Setting their password type to "Open Directory" has no luck at all.
If I jump on the server and try a password check in the terminal, I get:
AFP:
dirt -u username -p password
Call to dsGetRecordList returned count = 1 with Status : eDSNoErr : (0)
Call to checkpw(): Bad Password
path: /LDAPv3/10.10.20.1
Username: username
Password: password
Error : eDSAuthFailed : (-14090)
SMB:
dirt -a nt -u username -p password
Call to dsGetRecordList returned count = 1 with Status : eDSNoErr : (0)
path: /LDAPv3/10.10.20.1
Username: username
Password: password
Good
The master's IP is 10.10.20.1.
Users can sometimes connect via SMB instead of AFP, which is a workaround for now, but I'd like to know why this is happening.
I've tried setting the AFP server's authentication methods to Standard instead of Any or Kerberos, to no effect.
Does anyone know why these servers won't bind and won't replicate, and only allow connections if people use Crypt passwords? Is my Kerberos stuffed?

Well, I tried to demote, then promote my master with no luck. During the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, the password service cache (or whatever it's called) was somewhat corrupted. My OD Archive failed to restore !! I had to rebuild my entire OD from scratch.
Now I have slightly less errors. My replicas joined up fine. Kerberos passwords get propagated when a password changes, but samba passwords do not. Samba working is essential as 95% of the clients machines are windows boxes. Here are a few quick tests I did:
replica1 root# dirt -m /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -u fred
User password:
2009-01-15 17:13:16.919 dirt[4224:10b] password is : <password>
Call to dsGetRecordList returned count = 1 with Status : eDSNoErr : (0)
Username: fred
Password: <password>
Success
replica1 root# dirt -m /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -a nt -u fred
User password:
2009-01-15 17:13:23.160 dirt[4233:10b] password is : <password>
Call to dsGetRecordList returned count = 1 with Status : eDSNoErr : (0)
Username: fred
Password: <password>
Error : eDSAuthFailed : (-14090)
On the master this all works fine.
The funny thing is that my diradmin account has not problem on the replica.

WHAT A LOW QUALITY KEYBOARD!!! Broken after using for ONE day, what should I do????

Hi guys~
I've bought my first thinkpad x230 from lenovo offical online store and recived it on yesterday. I was very exciting when I receive this extreamely light and pretty notebook.
-However, it not last long... After typing a series of numbers, the “5” key was automatically filped open!!! And I can not put it back again!!!
-I can't understand why will this happen in such kind of well-known computer? I have never faced this kind of problem when I using those cheap keyboard!
So, I wan't to know what should I do? I've contacted the tech support, she told me she will submit my problem to some guys and hopefully call me back, however, I didn't receive any call from lenovo.
I've searched on google and found some guy's thinkpad also have this problem....What should I say? How bad luck I am or what a low quality of lenovo? Or both?
Can I bring this poor quality thinkpad to the nearest retailer store to seek for help？ Or I should go to the official service center which is very far from me....
BTW, in this case can I return this notebook for free? Or get a free repleacement of the broken key?

You'll have to phone the service center and ask. (When I lived not far from Lenovo's Canadian service center and wanted to bring in a ThinkPad for warranty repair they said that would be OK with them but my unit would be put on a queue the same as if I'd shipped it in. They simply didn't offer walk-in, while you wait service.)
In the interim it may or may not be possible to reattach the key, even just temporarily, depending on whether it wasn't put on properly at the factory or if it's physically broken in some way. Or you could use an external keyboard until Lenovo sends you a replacement, etc.
I've just call the local service center, he told me that he can not repair individual key, they can just replace the whole keyboard..... How bad luck I am!!!

ITunes Match Broken After iOS 8 - Only downloads a few tracks, icons spin on every track in library

I have upgraded both my iPad Air and iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1, and iTunes Match is broken in two ways that make it unusable.
First, every single song on both devices (except those already downloaded to the device) has the "spinning wheel" icon as if I tried to download the song from the cloud... but I have not tapped Download on any tracks. The iTunes Store "Downloads" list confirms that nothing at all is downloading. If I tap one of those spinning wheels... it becomes a progress wheel and the track begins to download, and shows up in the iTunes Store's Downloads list. So the icon for every track is just wrong, the little cloud-arrow replaced with a spinning (or sometimes stationary) wheel.
Second, and far more frustrating, is the "Download All" button at the top of a long playlist now downloads only the first 30-50 songs on that playlist. After that it just does not try to download any others, confirmed again in the iTunes Store's Downloads list. Every other song on my playlist has a stationary wheel icon (which is to say, not a spinning wheel but the same icon), and I have to tap every single one of those to get them to begin downloading. I'm going on a long vacation with minimal internet service, I want to download a bunch of music onto my new iPad and iPhone, I have playlists that are thousands of tracks long... and now I have to tap every single song on every single one to download them for offline listening, which is just infuriating.
Help!

Guess what!!!! I managed to fix it!
After much googling and experimenting - I can now download more than 25 songs in a playlist, and the songs don't get stuck with the red circle. The problem appeared to be, strangely, the syncing of folders of playlists in iTunes match.
What I did
- remove all music from phone and turn off Match
- ensure music is available for syncing in iTunes on Mac (but ensure 0 songs are synced)
- removed all folders from my playlists. Playlists do not reside in any folders anymore
- update iTunes match manually from the Store menu
- turn on match from iPhone, and download a playlist
That worked, remarkably. Some kind of buffering/caching issue when match tries to download from a playlist within a folder? How weird. Let me know if that works for you.

Report Generation broken after deployment - Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi

Upon deployment, the Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi became broken. After installing LV2010 SP1 to view the VIs in the deployment, I noticed that in the second case structure where the code draws the border using the BorderAround invoke node, there is an extra variant input parameter named 'Parameters'. Upon right-clicking, an option to 'Relink Invoke Node' appeared and after selecting this, the extra input disappeared and the VI was no longer broken.
Why does "Relink Invoke Node" appear? How do I create a deployment with this issue? Has anybody else experienced this? Why is the TestStand deployment so buggy?

Hi Ching-Hwa,
I have set up a test deployment here where I am deploying a workspace that contains a sequence file. This sequence file has a LabVIEW Action Step calling a VI that opens a new Excel file and simply calls the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI. After deploying this, both the VI and my test sequence ran on the deployment machine without error. Therefore, I do have some more questions to more accurately reproduce what you are seeing.
First, what operating systems are you developing on and deploying to? Also, what license do you have for TestStand on the machine you are deploying to? If you have a development version, can you manually take the sequence file and VI to this machine and run it? I know you now have LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on your development machine, but if you have the development version of TestStand as well, it would be interesting to see if you copy the files over if you still see this behavior. Are you including the TestStand Engine in the deployment?
Can you open a blank VI on the deployment machine and add the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI? It would also be interesting to see if this is not a product of the deployment, but rather an issue with something on the deployment machine itself. What version of the Report Generation Toolkit do you have on each machine? Also, what versions of Excel are you using on the development and deployment machine? Again, it would be helpful for me to know exactly what versions you have installed on both the development and deployment machines so that I can reproduce this as accurately as possible.
One last thing to try, too, would be to try deploying the VI by itself just to see if it also has the same behavior. Do you have the Application Builder in LabVIEW? If so, could you also try building an executable from the VI, create an installer, and deploy this to the deployment machine?
In regards to the "freezing" of code by removing the block diagrams, I do not believe this will be a proper work around in this case. While this removes the block diagram from actually being deployed along with the VI and restricts users from editing the code on the deployment machine, if something is getting changed in the compiled code upon deployment, this will not stop this from happening. This option is available more as a memory option to lower the size of the deployment as well as prohibit any users on the development machine from editing the block diagram themselves.
Thanks, Ching-Hwa! I look forward to your response so that I can continue trying to reproduce this issue. Have a great day!

IGoogle (and perhaps others) broken after updating to 6.0.2 -- broken for ALL versions of Firefox now.

Hi folks,
Note: I've found a way to post images... here they are...
[http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/_Melk_/iGoogle_Firefox_broken2.png iGoogle Firefox Broken (same in version 5.x, 6.x & 7.x)]
[http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/_Melk_/iGoogle_IE9_Working.png iGoogle Firefox IE9 Working (was like this on FF too before last update)]
This is a good one so bear with me, I'll try to be as precise as I can.
I updated FF to 6.0.2 yesterday and since then iGoogle (and perhaps other pages.. not sure on this) does not display correctly anymore.
Most evident is the fact that the links "Advanced Search" and "Language Tools" shown (usually) on the right side of the search edit box, don't show up anymore.
Other changes are the graphics which are used by the gadgets. In IE9 & FF before the update, each gadget showed round corners, not anymore in FF after update. Also, if I try to change the theme, the buttons "Add This" don't show up in FF now.
Now, here's the kicker! I completely removed Firefox from my system, meaning uninstalled it using the remove settings as well. I also deleted my profile folder & the Mozilla Firefox folder after the uninstall. Then I reinstalled version FIVE (5.0) to see if I could revert to the why things were back then, and behold, same problem!! So now, I can't repair my firefox to work properly even if I return to older versions!? wow
Tried system restore to a few days ago, that didn't fix it.
Tried version 5.x, 6.x and even the beta 7.x (all from scratch after uninstalling and deleting the profile folder + program files(x86) Mozilla folder) --- still NO FIX! ack! ;)
Frankly, I'm at my wits end on this one. I usually can repair pretty much anything computer/OS related, but this one has me stumped.
Thanks in advance for ANY help provided.. much appreciated :)
/cheers
P.S. I also tried safe mode (took the broken FF picture in Safe Mode), but it has the same issues. In other words, I'm now officially unable to have ANY version of Firefox display iGoogle correctly anymore (5.x, 6.x, even beta 7.x). Be it bare bone, with or without addons, etc etc. All this caused by updating to 6.0.2 from 6.0.1.
Note that I've done tons of updates before without any issues. Also been using FF for the last 6+ years I think (been a while ;) )

Turns out that it's iGoogle Styling that has changed! Not a Firefox bug (although there are bugs in the new iGoogle).
The changes to my homepage (iGoogle) happened just as I was updating 6.0.2. So this led me to believe it was a Firefox bug, and since IE9 still shows the OLD style on iGoogle, it reinforced this belief.
After reading up on it on the Google forums, and chatting with a great tech support on Mozilla tech, I realized it wasn't Firefox. So you can dismiss this as a human error ;)
/cheers

Dock cable broken after only 1 month of use

I use the dock cable to connect my ipod classic 80gb to the sony stereo in my car with the usb port.After 1 month of use the cable doesn't connect to the stereo anymore and say Usb not device and only if i put the cable in a strange position it works for sometime and than again usb not device , than it works and after a bit it doesn't work anymore.I try to connect to itunes but the problem is the same.The cable cost €19 and i don't want to buy another because surely after a month it will be broken again so i just want to know why this happen.Someone can give me an advice?

Can you try eBay for the docking cables, since you sound like a cable destroyer.
I think on eBay, the cables are less than €9 or if from some Oriental countries less €1 which maybe where your fragile cable comes from.

VS 2005 Project is Broken after trying to register CR 2008 product

I purchased CR 2008 last October, and of course, each time I load a project that has a report in VS 2005, I'm prompted to register the product. Since I am dealing with another CR issue, I felt it was time that I register the product, and start a support case.
So, I opened up my VS 2005 project, and in the product registration wizard, I clicked Next. The radio button 'I want to register Now' was checked, and I clicked Next. This opens up IE and takes me to a registration page where I need to enter my Product Key Code. When I do this, and click Next, I ALWAYS get a page 'Product Registration - Step 2 of 3' that says Script timed out--indicating that the page timed out.
So I basically decided to CANCEL the registration of the product.
NOW, HOWEVER, my VS 2005 PROJECT HANGS when opened!!!
I have to End the Program to close the project. The next time I open the project, I get the following message:
"An error was encountered while opening associated documents the last time this solution was loaded. Document load is being skipped during this solution load in order to avoid that error".
So, trying to register CR 2008 has broken my VS 2005 project. It simply will not load all the documents in the project without hanging. Is there a way to reset VS 2005 to avoid this issue? I know that I reset the environment by running a program within VS 2005 a while back, but I can't remember how to do this.
Thanks in advance for all replies.

Thanks for your reply.
I finally fixed the issue described above, but it took a while.
My projects load OK now, but only after doing the following:
1) Uninstall CR SP 2
2) Uninstall CR SP 1
3) Uninstall CR 2008
4) A couple of restarts along the way
5) Install CR 2008
6) Install CR SP 1
7) Install CR SP 2
8) At this point, there were still issues, so I repeated all the steps (i.e. removed all CR programs and then once again re-installed them all).
9) I also removed the CR SP 1 runtime which at some point, had been installed (way before step 1, above).
10) Oh, and I also removed the Version Manager, as well.
Now, my project loads OK, EXCEPT:
I now get a message when the project loads each and every CR report in my project:
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
This report was created with a version of Crystal Report which is later than the version you are running. Some features used in the report may not be supported.
OK.
This is a little alarming, but given the problems I've had the past two days with CR, I may just ignore it. I double-checked my included references in my Project. Interestingly, I get the following:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine .NET 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework .NET 12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore .NET 12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource .NET 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Shared .NET 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms .NET 12.0.2000.0
However, I then removed all CrystalDecisions references from the project, and proceeded to add the new references by browsing for the new versions. I verified that the versions in ...Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\ were in fact version 12.2.0.290 which is the correct version # for SP2. Sure enough, the file versions are correct.
But, when I then browse and add each one back into the project, the versions are once again shown AS ABOVE (i.e. 12.0.2000.0). Very strange!
For now, I'll just live with this issue, supposing that the VS 2005 project version list is incorrect?
