Script for synchronizing the clock with Domain Controller

Hi Everyone,
In our environment, we have Mac machines which are joined to window's domain. Once in while machine will not log on to domain because the OS clock had a different time than the domain controller and sooner you fix the clock, machine will start communicating with domain controller.
I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this using script which can run every few hours to force the OS clock to synchronize with the domain controller.
Thanks,

You don't need an Applescript to do that.
Enable the NTP server on the Windows Domain Controller (perhaps start here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773013.aspx).
Then setup the Macs to use NTP (Network Time) to sync to the domain controller.

Windows Server 2008 R2: Server unable to authenticate with Domain Controller

Hello, I was wondering what could be the reason for this error if it is certain that there was no other computer on the network using the same name:
This computer could not authenticate with<Domain-controller>, a Windows domain controller for domain <Domain-name>, and therefore this computer might deny logon requests. This
inability to authenticate might be caused by another computer on the same network using the same name or the password for this computer account is not recognized.
What would cause the machine account pw to be 'not recognized'?

Script for Checking the Server Status

Hi All,
I just need the script for monitoring the server status through the WLST.My scenario:I have 2 server in Running State.If any one of the server get failed or in not RUNNING state then i use the script for starting that server automatically.I tried some of the script but it is not working properly .If any one have the sample script please share with me.
Regards,
Ove.

Hi Syed,
Replication state is very easy to see in 4.x and earlier. The last changenumber in the supplier changelog is visible (on the root DSE IIRC), and each consumer suffix has an operational attribute "copiedfrom" that tells you the name of the supplier, the database generation id, and the last change replayed from the supplier.
So a script that compares the results of
ldapsearch -h <supplier> -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" lastchangenumber
and
ldapsearch -h <consumer> -s base -b <base_suffix> "objectclass=*" copiedFrom
will show you if a replica has fallen out of sync. It won't tell you more than how many changes behind the replica is, though, because pre-5.x changenumbers are sequential integers, not timestamps.
However, the change that corresponds to the changenumber is clearly visible under the "cn=changelog" suffix. So if you look at the change itself you can see the timestamp on it.
For more info on the status of replication, you should be able to query the agreements on the supplier. Those live under the "Netscape Machine Data Suffix", which you can also find on the supplier's root DSE:
ldapsearch -h <supplier> -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" netscapemdsuffix
And of course the error logs will usually tell you if replication is failing outright.
I may be off on some of the attribute names, but if you do some investigating along these lines, you should be able to figure it out.

Is there a linear equations VI thatI can use for inputting the coefficients with variables attached to them? Thank you.

Is there a linear equation VI that I can use for inputting the coefficients with variables attached to them? I am currently studying elec engineering and am in the thick of transient analysis. It is very time consuming figuring the mesh and nodal analysis in the transform domain. With 3 branches in a mesh analysis the resistors, inductors and capacitors are represented with variable s in them. I need to determine in the transform domain then convert to the time domain. One equation goes like this: (3+2s+1/4s)i1s - (2s)i2s - (1/4s)i3s = 6/s -6. The other equations are similar. I must keep the variable s in the equation and solve it with s in the result. I made several VIs for determining simultaneous linear equations some for complex numbers and they work great. This one has me a little stumped. I thinking that maybe Labview doesn't have a VI for this. The other VIs were fine because you just plugged in the numbers and ran the VI and got your result. Any VIs that do LaPlace transform operations?
Thank you.
Tom

Hello Tom,
You can find a VI for doing Laplace transforms in Functions->Analyze->Signal Processing->Frequency Domain (this VI is only available in the Full and Professional versions).

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?
Warning: I do not need to export all layers as files.
Who can help me?
THX in advance

Versione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
- Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
- Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
- Nuova azione
- Dare il nome e premere Registra
Ora salva…
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
- Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
- Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
- Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
- Fermare la registrazione.
A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
- Duplicare il file,
- Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
- Lavorare sul file duplicato.
mi riferisco a questo...
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
Procedere così:
- Chiudere Photoshop
- Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += layerName;
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "";
- salvare e uscire.
- riavviare Photoshop
- provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
Domanda:
Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
Risposta:
Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
Semplice... no?
English version
Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
I explain step by step what I did:
- I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
- I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
- New action
- Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
Now save ...
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
- Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
- Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
- Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
- Stop recording.
At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
- Duplicate the file
- Move the original folder to another
- Work on the duplicate file.
WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
Proceed as follows:
- Close Photoshop
- Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
- Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = layerName ;
- Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "";
- Save and exit.
- Restart Photoshop
- Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
Question:
Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
Answer:
Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
Simple ... is not it?
Sorry for my bad English...
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Scripts for changing the address of the user when they have been in the box for 6 months

Scripts for changing the address of the user when they have been in the box for 6 months
If users are in a folder for deactivated users and disabled users in Active Directory, and been there for 6 moths do: change email address in exchange to existing email address.old
Anyone have suggestions on how I can go about it?

What is this "box"? What is this "folder" you're asking about? You'll likely get a better answer if you use standard terminology.

Strange issues with domain controller/DNS server

Our domain controller/DNS server was working fine this morning. Then suddenly we stopped being able to access certain things on it. I could ping it, RDP into it, and access some files on it, but I couldn't run any applications hosted on it, accessing shared
network files was slow, and different people around the office were getting access denied errors to files and folders they had full control of in NTFS (and in shared permissions).
At first I noticed an NTP error so I registered w32tm and started the service and that got rid of the error but didn't fix anything.
Oddly, machines still had internet access.
We tried rebooting everything, restarting services, nothing has helped.
When I accessed the server directly through the console I could access everything, could connect to any machine in the office, nothing seemed to be wrong with it.
Any ideas?

Is there any recent changes in your network or firewall or antivirus? Is there any change/updates performed in the AD side? I would suggest find out changes being done at the AD or Network/FIrewall level. You can run various diagnostic test within your AD
environment to find the overall health of the AD infra.

RAC on windows 2000 with domain controller

Guys,
I need advise on the following implementation.
We have 2 IBM Xseries 365 Servers , 1 FastT600 Storage Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Oracle 9i, Oracle RAC
We have plan of integrating 2 servers in Windows 2000 Cluster, one server would act as Domain Controller and second will act as Additional Domain Controller in the MS Cluster. We would be installing Oracle 9i Enterprise s/w on each one of these server's internal disks and datafiles on shared storage ( FastT600 ).. We would need to install Oracle RAC as well. As per Oracle recommandation, the cluster nodes shouldn't act as Domain controller. We didn't find any logical and techinical answer for this recommandation. Can anyone guide me as why is it so? and any issue may arise if we don't have separate doamin controller?
Is it really required to have separate Domain controller ?
Early replies would be appretiated..
Thanks & Regards,
Sam

Hello hanspjacobsen,
1. According to the subjects System Requrements - Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers do support
Windows 8.1/2012 R2 admx deployment with some limitations regarding down-level server version of course. So yes - you can download and use it. Doubtfully the GPO presence in AD could
harm Exchange in any way.
2. With the course of updates for Exchange 2010 and Windows Server - I'm pretty sure we can expect Exchange 2010 supporting W2012 R2 DCs with close upcoming updates. So the full interoperability for those two is just a matter of little time.

Hardware Requirements for a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.

Hi,
I have a secondary office with 10 users with a domain controller that has reached its end of life. We like to upgrade the current hardware to serve as a domain controller and potentially as an onsite file server that will sync with head office during
off peak business hours.
Any recommendations for a low cost yet reliable hardware for the above solution ?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
I think you need to meet the requirement for upgrading to windows server 2012r2.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh994618.aspx#BKMK_SysReqs
And you could refer to the following article about windows server 2012r2 domain controller configuration

How to use single ant build script to package the application with and without native extensions

Hi,
I am using iOS native extensions for Adobe air. For this I am listing the extensions in the application descriptor file. Since the package with native extensions are meant to run only on device, I want my build script to work without native extensions too to be able to run on simulator. Is this manadatory that I need two separate application descriptors/basically two build scripts to compile and package them? Please suggest and let me know if more explanation is needed.
Thanks,
Swathi.

Hi
This is a known issue addressed by CR205204
As you said, IBM actually does not have rt.jar in its JDK - they have moved contents of rt.jar into various jars.
IBM is not using org/apache/crimson/tree/ in their JDK at all.So the error shows up in the end of build even if it succeeds
You may need to add crimson.jar to wlwBuild classpath, since it is not part of IBMs JDK.
Note: the build will work even w/o crimson.jar giving a non build related IDE exception in the very end.
Thanks

Using ISE for guest access together with anchor controller WLC in DMZ

Hi there,
I setup a guest WLAN in our LAB environment. I have one internal WLC connection to an anchor controller in our DMZ. I'm using the WLC integrated web-auth portal which works fine.
To gain more flexibility regarding guest account provisioning and reporting my idea is to use Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for web-authentication. So the anchor controller in the DMZ would redirect the guest clients to the ISE portal.
As the ISE is located on the internal network while the guest clients end up in the DMZ network this would mean that I have to open the web-auth portal port of ISE for all guest client IPs in order to be able to authenticate.
Does anyone know of a better solution for this ? Where to place the ISE for this scenario, etc ?
Thx
Frank

So i ran into a similar scenario on a recent deployment:
We had the following:
WLC-A on private network (Inside)
ISE Servers ISE01 and ISE02 (Inside)
WLC-B Anchor in DMZ for Guest traffic (DMZ)
ISE Server 3 (DMZ)
ISE01 and ISE02 are used for 802.1X for the private network WLAN.
Customer does not allow guest traffic to move from a less secure network to a more secure network (Compliance reasons).
The foreign controller (WLC-A) must handle all L2 authentication and it must use the same policy node that the clients will hit for web auth. Since we want to do CWA, we use Mac Filtering with ISE as the radius server. If you send this traffic RADIUS authentication for Mac Filtering to ISE01/ISE02, it will use https://ise01.mydomain.com/... to redirect the client to. Since we don't allow traffic to traverse from the DMZ with the anchor in it back inside to the network where ISE01 and ISE02 are, client redirection fails. (This was a limitation of ISE 1.1. Not sure if this persists in 1.2 or not.
So what now? In our deployment we decided to use a 3rd ISE policy node (ISE03 in the DMZ) for guest authentiction from the Foreign controller so that the client will use a DNS of https://ise03.mydomain.com/... to redirect the client to. Once the session is authenticated, ISE03 will send a CoA back to the foreign which will remove the redirect for the session. Note, you do have to allow ISE03 to send a CoA.
In summary, if you can't allow guest traffic to head back inside the network to hit the CWA portal, you must add a policy node in a DMZ to use for the CWA portal so they have a resolvable and reachable policy node.
