Server Essentials for 30 users

Looking to update a clients server from Windows Small Business 2008 Server to something more modern. We just migrated to Office 365 and I was looking at Windows server Essentials but they have 30 users which may go as high as 35, but I can't see it going
beyond that. Is there a way to use Essentials or do we have to get Standard?

This one may help.

I'd ask them more over here.

SOA Managed Server "Authentication for user denied" exception

Hello,
I have installed Weblogic and Soa Suite according to the SOA Suite installation "Oracle® Fusion Middleware Quick Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)" document.
As told in the doc, I have configured my Weblogic server first, then I am trying to start Soa server with the command "./startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1"
But I am getting this error; mucho obrigado!

Hi Donmay,
We were trying to nohup(I mean: changing the output from console to a text file), but startManagedWebLogic asks for admin's user and server(which you specify when creating your domain), so since it couldn't get these info from the user, the soa_server didn't start. There are 4 solutions that I know off:
1)Don't nohup, just enter ~$ ./startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1
2)Specify the user and passwd in startManagedWebLogic. The two variables are WLS_USER and WLS_PW
3)Create a boot.password file in .../domain/bin and in the startManagedWebLogic add this -Dweblogic.system.BootIdentityFile="fileGoesHere" JAVA_OPTIONS (http://blogs.oracle.com/middleware/2010/05/weblogic_not_reading_bootproperties_1111x.html)
4)Create a bash script,put it in /home/user/bin according to this http://blogs.oracle.com/reynolds/2010/03/cold_start.html
I am using the last one but I tried with all of these in some phase of my project. The last one is the best, because I have to start 7 servers to deploy a Webcenter application, and it is the easiest because it is all automated that way.
Sorry for the late reply, I have posted from my phone.

Can't start managed server - Authentication for user denied

Greetings,
I have a WebLogic 10.3.6 based domain. The admin server works correctly. Using the admin console, I created a managed server. It is not associated to any machine and I don't use node manager. The managed server listens on localhost:7101 while the admin listens on localhost:7001. Starting the managed server asks for an user/password authentication. Using the same as the one used for the admin console says:

I googled a while and found a post saying that the realm is probably altered or in an incorrect status. I reset the the admin's credentials using weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount but this disn't change anything. Of course, upon the managed server creation, I initialized the fierlds user and password in the server starting tab of the admin console.
Many thanks for any help.

Hi,
Have you configured LDAP Authenticator on the server?
If yes, afther the change did you restart both the servers - admin and managed?

Should I monitor the SQL Server tempdb for user activity?

I am currently auditing all databases on SQL Server 2008 R2 for specific events ( database accounts related activity) . I get alot of events generated for
tempdb. I am monitoring the following events 47, 102, 103, 104, 105, 108, 109, 110, 111, 113, 117, 130, 170, 171, 173, 176 is what I am monitoring.
Do I need to monitor tempdb or is it alright to exclude the
tempdb?
Thanks in advance.

What is your tempdb configuration? Is it located on separated physical drives? Are you observing bottleneck on tempdb?
--user sessions that are
--allocating internal objects, including currently active tasks
SELECT
t1.session_id,
(t1.internal_objects_alloc_page_count + task_alloc) as allocated,
(t1.internal_objects_dealloc_page_count + task_dealloc) as
deallocated
from sys.dm_db_session_space_usage as t1,
(select session_id,
sum(internal_objects_alloc_page_count)
as task_alloc,
sum (internal_objects_dealloc_page_count) as
task_dealloc
from sys.dm_db_task_space_usage group by session_id) as t2
where t1.session_id = t2.session_id and t1.session_id >50
order by allocated DESC
the allocation bottleneck is caused
when allocation structures are accessed
by concurrent threads in conflicting modes.
Since the database id of TempDB is 2,
the search argument ‘2.%’ represents any page
in TempDB across any file. If this page happens
to be GAM, SGAM or PFS, it will represent allocation bottleneck.
Note, in a concurrent application, some blocking is expected so
you will need to baseline the allocation waits when your
application is performing normally.
Only when the waits exceed the baseline significantly,
it signals that you are incurring allocation bottleneck.
select session_id, wait_duration_ms, resource_description
from sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks
where wait_type like 'PAGE%LATCH_%' and
resource_description like '2:%'

Server Path for iCal users

I hope this doesn't come off as a dumb question... and I'm not really sure how to ask it.
The server path for users in iCal are found at /principals/_uids_/really long string of random characters. Is this correct? Shouldn't they be found at /principals/_uids_/username
Is something miss-configured on the server? Or am I missing something?

If you're using a Snow Leopard client, you should not need to enter a path, only the credentials and server name (if you specify the calDAV service).
For 10.5 clients, I had to use:
http://server.domain.com:8008/prinicpals/users/usershortname
or for secure:
https://server.domain.com:8443/prinicpals/users/usershortname
If you have to use the <uid> to make it work, you're in a world of hurt. As I understand it, that directory tracks individual events for the calDAV service, not the complete calendar.
Good luck.

Has someone left the company or has an account of some nature been dropped/replaced?
Please click "Mark As Answer" if my post helped. Tony C.
Hi Tony,
Srry but No. We just installed the monthly updates.
I went back and found I had missed removing a patch. I missed the rollup for Windows Server 2003:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: NtServicePack
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4382
Date:  3/12/2015
Time:  12:26:04 PM
User:  NETTEST\admin
Computer: DATA1
Description:
Windows Server 2003 KB954920 was removed from your computer, and the previous Windows Server 2003 configuration was restored.
After I removed that is still didn't work but after about five minutes it started working.
I guess I ned to report that to MS after I research what might be changed to make the patch work.
Every time I get stuck and ask for help it seems to be just before I stumble on the solution.
Thanks for replying.
Well - maybe this will help someone else.
Thanks again for replying Tony

Can ARD 3 be used for users who want to remote into a windows based server?

I have a couple users at the company I work at who will need to be able to remote into our Windows Server. These users all have Macs and will have to go about remoting in differently. I have done some research on Apple Remote Desktop but i am unsure if it fits my users needs. If I have someone download and install this software on a mac, will they then be able to remote into a windows based server using an IP address? that is my goal in mind could get some help on this one I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
- Rich

I'm referring to what windows can do via Remote Desktop connection.
You open up the RDC dialog box, enter an external IP address (if working remotely) or a server name if working internally and connect right to the machine. Ideally i want my users to be able to log into our terminal server and be able to use a program remotely. they will have to log on to this server with company credentials. Basically from a mac, connecting up to a Windows Server and remotely logging into it to perform tasks.
I'm really just trying to find an easy way to do this for my user's with MAC's since it is not as straightforward as in windows. I cannot test anything out at home since i do not own a mac so i come to the community to see if you guys have had the same kind of situation before.
ARD was the first peice of software that looked like it might fit my needs but if it doesn't is there anything out there? is it for free or for a cost? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
The settings which I am concerned:
1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement).
The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

Hi,
>>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles

In addition, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Sql Server 2012 Login Failed for user "NT Authority\System"

I have installed SQL Server on a new server. I have been getting the following error on each of the database in it.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database 'ABC'. [CLIENT: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Here is some information on the instance:
1) Default instance
2) SQL Server, Sql Server Agent, Sql Server Reporting services are running / log on using a domain service account.
3) Sql Server Browser is disabled.
4) SQL Server VSS Writer is running / log on as Local Service.
5) NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM does exists in Login with just public server roles.
I ran a trace on login failed and I get:
ApplicationName: Microsoft Windows Script Host
and it runs every 15 minutes.
Help please?

Hi,
The error was thrown when the SCOM components connected to the backend SCOM databases.
You can specify a domain account, grant it the sysadmin role and the error should be gone.
Also, see the replies in your previous thread:

Mail server automatically cc all email for user to other acct but group...

Back on April 2007, David_X answered this question:
How to have the mail server automatically cc all e-mail for user to other accounts, (gmail, hotmail, etc). Here is the old post that explains that:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4357149&#4357149
What I did not catch at the time was if you setup a Group, one of three ways, the cc step no longer works. There is a fourth way but it is not practical. Creating local groups on individual Macs.
*Group method 1 per David_X:*
Use edited group files on the server.
The following sends to members of groups but does not show all recipients in the received message...
In /etc/postfix/aliases, add...
groupname: :include:/path/to/groupname.txt
In a file called groupname.txt (using plaintext editor)...
[email protected]
[email protected]
Reload aliases...
sudo newaliases
sudo postalias aliases
sudo postfix reload
Mail sent to [email protected] gets passed to amavisd once, before then being relayed out for each individual recipient.
*Group method 2 per David_X:*
Make a user, e.g., "accounts"
In mail settings, select 'Forward' option and enter the group members' email addresses, comma separated e.g.,
[email protected],[email protected]
This gets a bit 'long' for lots of members.
The email then gets sent to each of the people in this list.
*Group method 3 that I just discovered:*
Create a group in Workgroup Manager.
Drag the users you want in it.
Save.
Test sending to that group.
Best part, the group name shows up in Address Book if you have LDAP setup.
So I have setup all three. If I send an email to any type of group, they work.
The problem:
If one of those members in the group also has a BCC setup to Gmail or any other outside email, they never get the e-mail copied out to the external account.
Example:
I send an email to [email protected]. He gets the email there and also a copy at his Gmail account.
If I send an email to the Sales group that jsmith belongs to, he gets the email there but nothing at the Gmail account.
It looks like the mail server processes the "aliases" file and skips the "Recipient_bcc" file that handles the forwards.
Is there a way to have my cake and eat it too? David_X your thoughts also?
Thanks everyone!

Bump.
Short version. Sales guy has a Gmail account he wants his e-mail copied to also.
Send e-mail directly to his Xserve account, he gets it there and it gets sent on to his Gmail account.
Send an e-mail to the sales Group that he is a member of, he gets it there but it never gets sent out to the Gmail account.
Ideas?

Cannot connect to SERVER. Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\user'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 18456) - SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2

I've seen multiple blogs and forums with similar problems and SQL 2012 or 2008. But no solutions that work for me.
I have installed SQL Server in mixed mode (SQL and Windows authentication). I can create new Login accounts in either mode. However, I cannot get an AD security group Login account to work. I am trying to add group 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' or 'SERVER\Administrators'
as a Login so that any of the domain's administrator accounts can open SQL Server Management Studio and act as an 'sa' account on this server.
I have deleted the SQL account 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins'.
I have restarted SQL.
I have restarted the Win2K8r2 server.
I have launched SSMS as Administrator from the desktop of SERVER.
I have launched SSMS as another user (and used 'DOMAIN\user' to lauch it) from the desktop of SERVER.
I can create a login account named 'DOMAIN\user' (who happens to be a member of the 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' group) and give this account 'sa' security, and when I do that, this account works as expected...
How do I add a security group as a Login account and give all members of that group the ability to be an 'sa' account?

Hi geoperkins,
Are you getting the following error message?
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11
Login failed for user <Domain\user>. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error.
If that is the case, the issue could be due to that the Windows login has no profile or that permissions could not be checked due to UAC. Please disable UAC firstly and check if it is successful to log in SQL Server.
Another reason could be that the domain controller could not be reached. You may need to resort to re-creating the login. Create a new group in AD, add users to the new group, then add the group to the local admin group and create login for the group in SQL
Server.
There is a connect item describing similar issue for your reference.

Outgoing server works for one user not for other

Hi,
I just made a second user in Leopard. When logged in as the original user, the outgoing mail server works fine in Mail. When logged in as the new user, the outgoing mail server shows as 'offline' in Mail. In both cases the outgoing server is the same one.
As the new user i can only receive mail and not send any. I am pretty sure the account settings on both mail accounts r identical(Authentication, SSL etc.) (except for user specific identification of course)
Any advice/idea on what is wrong and what i can do to make the outgoing server work for both users?
Thx,
Brick

Yes I am certain the authentication is correct. When trying to send a message out Mail gives a message saying my "SMTP server does not support authentication".
When i open Mail preferences. The outgoing server is indicated as Offline.

If I install the Mail server on a Mac Mini as a server, can my users utilize Outlook as their mail client and how will it be different for them?

If I install the Mail server on a Mac Mini as a server, can my users utilize Outlook as their mail client and how will it be different for them?

Your users can utilize Outlook no matter where your email is hosted at.
how will it be different for them
different from what?
