Setup and Installation HELP!

Hi,
I am extremely new to servers and all their tricky details so I apologize for any seemingly "dumb" questions. I'm sure I'll have a ton.
Essentially it boils down to this...a few months ago I was able (through much frustration) to successfully set up our Snow Leopard Server to run our mail. However, because we are in the midst of having a website built which will be hosted by MediaTemple we were advised to simply have the mail hosted there as well. Unfortunately this brings me to the point I'm at now. I am now trying to set up our server for some different needs and in starting this I reinstalled Snow Leopard and am at square one again. I just wanted to see if anyone could help me set this up correctly for our current needs.
Our current configuration is this: modem to time capsule to server. We have a static IP provided to us by Comcast. We essentially only want to use this server for file sharing with some employees we have across the U.S. and for the iCal capability. I'm assuming this will have to be done through VPN and that it would be easiest if we have a domain name set up with the server. To avoid getting into subdomain territory or any type of clashing with our Public Website domain which is hosted by MediaTemple we'd like to just use an alternate domain such as www.example.info. It doesn't have to be .info...we have at least 3 different ones registered.
Obviously we need it very secure seeing as it's mostly being used to share company files. So I'm assuming we don't want to go the gateway route. Which brings me to how I should configure the port forwarding and all that.
Can anyone help with the best way to configure this thing? Please, please, please!

If you're planning on using a VPN for your remote users, then the ONLY port forwarding to setup is for the VPN ports. Nothing else. Once users are connected to VPN they'll act just like any other user on the LAN, so routers, port forwarding and the like don't come into play.
VPNs typically use some combination of ports 500, 1701, 1723, and 4500, depending on the setup.

    Visual Studio 2013 Setup and Installation gets stuck at system restore point. what are the issues?, help me out ASAP

    Hello nitinrathod29,
    There are some possible fixes for this issue.
    Please check the following thread:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/47bc6990-00f2-4d85-b3f8-9de03c637f43/visual-studio-2013-update-2rc-stucks-on-creating-system-restore?forum=vssetup

    So here are them:
    1. Check if you have any software which may prevent the installer from running. For example, Windows Defender or any other software which may restrict your permissions.
    2. Just start the computer.
    3. Run the setup as admin.
    4. Check your UAC permissions.

  • How do I install CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" (disk 3 of 3)?

    Hi,
    How do I install the CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" disk (the 3rd of the 3 disk set although it's not labelled as disk "3")? There's an autorun.inf file but no setup.exe. The generic on-disk installation instructions are useless for this disk since they assume a setup.exe file exists.
    The disk contains the following folders: Adobe CS6 Speech Analysis Models, Adobe Encore CS6 Functional Content, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, and Fonts.
    Thanks!

    There is no installer for the files AudiosBro they are additional content which can be added to those applications.  For specific inquiries about the contents please post in the applicable forum for that application.  You can find a list of available forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome.

  • Lync 2013 Setup and configure HELP

    Hi,
    i am having some trouble with my lync 2013 setup. i have configured lync to a stage were all users can connect to lync being inside or outside my network, we can send chats messages to each other but only if we are on the same LAN can we use the video, audio
    and app sharing and desktop sharing. also i need to know how do i get my lync to communicate with other companies.
    ok here is my setup.
    ISP Cisco 877 router with 5 Static ips connects to my TMG 2010 (external Nic) internal nic connects to my LAN. all other devices plug into same LAN my TMG is forwarding ports to my exchange and helpdesk system. i have created all internal and external dns
    entries. if i need an egde server were do i place this server. 
    network details below:
    5 X ip: X.X.92.2
    internal ip: X.X2.1 /24
    please could someone assist me. 
    Kind Regards
    Clemy
    Cell : +27 72 864 0529

    Hi There,
    indeed your TMG Server should be equipped with 32 Network Interfaces as follows :
    External 
    DMZ 
    Internal
    the Lync Edge Server should be equipped with 2 Network Interfaces, usually the Edge server is placed inside a perimeter network which consists in 2 edge firewalls, one External and another one is Internal. please check the following link for detailed information
    about the various Edge topology that are supported.
    However you can always have a DMZ like your scenario which consists in a single firewall and connect the Edge server ends as follows
    one interface to the TMG DMZ interface and one interface to the Internal Interface although this way you will be only protecting traffic from the DMZ interface.
    kindly note that in case you chose to implement a secondary firewall take into consideration that the network relation from the the Edge internal interface to the internal LAN via the secondary firewall should be a route relation. since this is only the
    supported scenario.
    as for the reverse proxy you can still use the existing TMG as a reverse proxy since all published web components are actually located on the lync front-end server located on company LAN.

  • LaserJet pro 200 color MFP M276nw - Scan setup and installation on Mac Yosemite

    Hi all, 
    I just bought a new LaserJet pro 200 color MFP M276nw and I'm trying (since 4 days) to coorectly install it.
    My target would be to use it through the wifi connection and I correctly set it by the front panel.
    When I try to install the printer by wifi, I can install the print driver but I can't find the scan driver.
    I tried connecting it by ethernet and the system point out a multifunction scanner and printer driver. If use them, it works correctly.
    Whenever I pull out the lan cable to use it by wifi it lose the scan functions. 
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks
    Gianluigi
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi @gianluigi1982 ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues scanning over the wireless network, but you can scan by a Ethernet connection.
    I would like to help.
    What drivers did you install for the printer? (Apple Update or the 10.9 download drivers)
    I checked our Lab computer with 10.10 installed on it and I was able to scan through Printers and Scanners over the Wireless network.
    Check the driver version installed.
    Go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, highlight the Laserjet, click on the Print tab on the right side of the window and select Options and Supplies.
    On the General tab it will list the driver version.
    19.9 is the one listed on the lab.
    What driver do you have showing?
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet Pro 200 MFP M276)
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    On the Printers and Scanners window, highlight the printer on the left side, on the right side of the window you should have a Print/Scan tab, click on Scan, then Open Scanners and test the scanning. If you don't have the Scan tab, let me know.
    Did you add the printer as a Bonjour printer or through the IP Protocal? (can't scan through IP Protocal)
    Are you using the automatic IP address, or your own Static IP address?
    Here is some information for Scanning in OS X v10.10 Yosemite Without HP Software.
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
    Have a nice day!

  • Dual monitor setup and intel help

    Hello
    I am trying to set up and dual monitor setup here, with a monitor and a tv, the monitors resolution is 1680x1050, the tv's resolution is 1360x720, which results in that the desktop will have an resolution on 3040x1050.
    When I try to do this with GNOME's xrandr gui, I get this:
    required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3040, 1050), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920)
    When looking in the motherboards manual, it states that each out of my graphics card can do a resolution of 1980x1080. Is the intel driver missunderstanding something? Since both the dvi and hdmi output only delivers 1360x720 and 1680x1050, 3040x1050 is only an virtual resolution.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    This kind of question is best asked in the Windows Forums, however I've had some succession with a similar issue myself.
    Non-Genuine Windows means that it can't authenticate your copy of Windows.
    It's not a problem, all your need is a genuine product key code. Provided you don't have different version of Windows 7 installed to the one you are buying (for example windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 business) Then you can use the new key code.
    Click on the Start Button and type: CMD (into the 'Search programs and files' field in the Start Menu)
    The Start Menu will show 'CMD.exe', 
    Right-click the CMD.exe file and select Run As Administrator.
    In the CMD window, type: slmgr.vbs -ipk <type your product key here>
    To activate windows after changing the key, type: slmgr.vbs -ato
    It should now accept the new key code and you will need to be connected to the Internet to authenticate.
    If by chance the windows 7 types are different (One is Home premium say and the other is Business) then you will need to uninstall that copy of Windows 7 and install the new one. If your using BootCamp then you will need to go into BootCamp under system preferences and remove that copy of Windows (delete it)
    Then create a new setup with your new Windows 7 disk.
    For me I had the same type of windows, changing the product code worked. Saved me the bother of having to reinstall Windows again and it was all genuine.
    Best of luck

  • VS 2010 Pro "Other Project Types" / "Setup and Deployment": No items found

    Hello,
    I have VS 2010 Pro Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Rel. I have developed a VB.Net application and would like to deploy it. When I try to add a setup project to the solution, I get "No items found" where a list of project types should be in the "Add New Project"
    dialog, "Installed Templates", "Other Project Types", "Setup and Deployment". Shouldn't the Pro version have those templates installed? If so, can I copy them from somewhere? I noticed that "Database" and "Test Projects" also have empty lists. There are lots
    of templates available for the various languages.
    I tried to modify the VS 2010 installation by adding support for SharePoint, but that did not help. Do I have to uninstall, reboot, and re-install? It's so cumbersome considering that I would need to redo the updates as well.
    OS is Win 7 Pro, processor is Intel E8400.

    Thanks for your post.
    The Setup Project template is located in: Installed Templates >> Other Project Types >> Setup and Deployment >> Visual Studio Installer. Would you please check if the templates exists in this path?
    If not, you can follow the steps below to reset your Visual Studio templates:
    Please open Windows Explorer, and navigate to <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE
    (by default is C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE);
    Delete the ItemTemplatesCache, ProjectTemplatesCache

    Open Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) under Start menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -> Visual Studio Tools (run it with Administrator privilege: right-click the program -> Run as administrator);

  • Trying to Hot Sync Visor Pro with Windows 7 (64 bit OS) - getting error: "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be establishe​d. Please check your setup and try again."

    Hi.
    I read the posting regarding the options on Hotsyncing for Windows 7; however, I have some questions as I have a 64-bit system.
    I have a Visor Pro that I'm trying to Sync up with my new laptop which is running Windows 7.
    Steps I have taken:
    * installed the Visor Palm Desktop 3.0.1 that came with the Visor (which the installation went well)
    * The issue arises when I push the "Sync" button on the cradle and the following error message appears "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."
    Since I have a 64-bit OS it appears that I have 2 options: 1) bluetooth or 2) Infrared.
    I have to admit I don't know know how to do either of these (how can I tell if this Handspring Visor Pro has bluetooth (which I don't it does)?). 
    Then how about the Infrared option?  I see on the PDA it has a red area that one can "beam" info.  Is this the same as Infrared or my 2nd option?
    I love my Visor and want to continue using it, but need to backup the valuable info!
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS!!!!!
    Post relates to: Visor Pro

    Hello lwalbring and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Visor, as you suspect, does not have Bluetooth, so you must use the IR HotSync option.  Since you are using Windows 7 64-bit, I believe that you are going to have to upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to make things work from an OS/Driver perspective.
    Since you are using such an old device, you are also going to have to download and install the PalmHotSyncSetup Utility from Pimlico.  This update turns on support for old Palm OS PDAs in Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  Without the update, you won't be able to sync your Visor with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  The software is free and the link is all the way at the bottom of the screen.
    Lastly, if your PC doesn't have an IR port on it, you will need to purchase a USB to IR adapter.  Some laptops still have IR ports and most desktops don't.
    Once you have all the pieces, you'll want to go back to the Windows 7 and Vista HotSync thread again, and follow the directions for setting up and configuring IR HotSyncs.
