Setup WSUS - Now My External Website Cannot be Accessed via Domain Machines

Hi all,
I recently set up a WSUS server for my company so I can manage updates to domain computers. I got it working and each domain computer now looks to the server (192.168.0.101) for updates. In addition, I have a DC on this machine as well which has DHCP and
DNS setup on it too.
After I installed WSUS, Windows set up a IIS server so it could send out updates to computers. Unfortunatly, local domain (prorepmktg.com) computers stopped being able to access our external website (found at http://www.prorepmktg.com) this is hosted by
a 3rd party and is not a part of our network. I assume this is a DNS issue, but since it is also probably connected with WSUS, I need some help being able to allow access to our external website without disrupting any WSUS functions.
I apologize if this issue is simple to fix, but I am stretching my knowledge of DNS and WSUS here. I am running Windows Server 2012 R2.

I have a DC on this machine as well which has DHCP and DNS setup on it too.
I am running Windows Server 2012 R2.
This is your very first challenge. Have you researched the implications and requirements for installing WSUS on a Windows Server 2012/2012R2 Domain Controller?
Unfortunatly, local domain (prorepmktg.com) computers stopped being able to access our external website (found at http://www.prorepmktg.com)
I'm fairly certain that the mere act of installing WSUS and/or IIS would not have impacted your ability to access external domains.
Does this issue ONLY affect THIS external domain or ALL external domains?
If only THIS external domain, then it also begs the question of what you configured in DNS to allow your internal clients to get to that external domain.
Also relevant is this question: What is the Active Directory Domain Name of your internal domain? I'm much more inclined to think this issue began when you installed/configured DNS, not when you installed WSUS.

SAP Installation in MSCS - SAP cannot be accessed via virtual host name

Hi Experts,
We have installed SAP NW 7.1 CE in MSCS for High Availabilty. Our primary application server is installed in a separate server. I can only access SAP via the hostname of the primary application server (i.e. http://<hostname of primary appserver>:5<instance#>00/nwa) and not via the virtual hostname of the MSCS cluster. Is there any configuration I have missed? I have followed all the preparation needed for HA installation.
Thanks.

Hi Sameysha,
As already posted, you only has SCS in HA, the "normal" way will be that you has one CI and as many DI as you need and use a Web Dispatcher. If CI fails then WD will send the requests to remaining DI´s so you won´t loose service.
In MSCS if you install as per the guide, Instances are not HA because they are installed locally in each node, if you have two nodes then you install CI in Node A and DI in Node B, if Node A fails then SCS resources migrates to Node B, CI is out and you work with the DI installed in Node B.
To be able to use any of the Intances installed you need a Web Dispatcher that does the load balancing between the CI and DI´s, if CI fails then you get service from the DI´s.
Hope this clarifies this.

DNS Setup/View external website internally

Greetings all - trying to set up a Mac server from scratch for the first time. Been managing one for a while but didn't actually set it up myself.
I have the beginnings of DNS setup all squared away, but am still looking to figure out how to properly set up my website. Here's my setup. We used to have a joint Windows 2003/10.5 server environment. Windows handled Exchange and DNS, the Leopard box handled everything else (DHCP, web, file sharing, etc). We're transitioning everything to the Mac box in preparation for setting up Kerio MailServer and just to ditch the windows box.
I own companyname.net - that domain is hosted externally by Network Solutions. It's forwarded to my static IP.
Our old internal DNS was hosted by a Windows 2003 box - it had zones for companyname.ltd (the private internal domain) and companyname.net. companyname.ltd was the nameserver. There were two A records handling the website for internal clients - one with a blank name, and one with www. Both pointed to the IP of the Mac server (the current box that I'm transitioning everything to). Everything was hunky dory - internal pings to the web address went to the internal ip, externally it went to the external IP, and everything worked just great.
So in setting up the new DNS on the Leopard box, here's what I have so far.
Primary zone: companyname.net
A Record: macpro : 192.168.1.3 (this is the name of the server)
A Record: mail : 192.168.1.2 (our mail server)
Alias : ichat : macpro.winstongroup.net
The checkhostname thing works fine, Kerberos is up and running, as is Open Directory.
Now, I do not know how to set up our website so that internal clients can view the external website. I tried creating an A record to the server for www, but then that overrides the macpro A record that is the host of the whole thing. I also tried creating A records to the external IP, but then when I pinged it just pinged once, then it seemed like the firewall kicked in and stopped it. I tried creating aliases to companyname.net but every time I did that, Server Admin kept adding on an additional companyname.net to the end of the name (so it would read like companyname.netcompanyname.net). That didn't make much sense to me.
I'm sure there's other people who can view internally hosted sites from the lan - so any help would be very much appreciated!

One minor other question. I prefer the url of our site to be companyname.net instead of www.companyname.net. So now, while www is set up as a server alias, it wouldn't direct to companyname.net, even though that URL was set up in the web services panel in Server Admin. I then created a new alias that was "companyname.net", without the trailing period so it was not a FQDM, directed it at the same web server, and everything seemed to work. Does that seem right - it's working, so it seems to be somewhat right at least!

Follow up - DNS (internal domain has same name as external website)

Hi,
I am following up with on previous blog entry about resolving an domain internal name to an external website found here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/4d97325b-ff3a-4f46-ba6e-dc3f4ff978e1/dns-internal-domain-has-same-name-as-external-website
On October 30, 2014
HayashiTech provided a response suggesting the use of netsh interface portproxy on the DC's to resolve this issue. There has been no feedback to this suggestion and I am very curious what opinions are out there for this suggestion as it appears to be the
best option provided yet.
Thank you in advance as well for all the great guidance I have found provided by Ace and his followers.

Interesting question. I've not seen that solution before, but having done a test on my lab setup it certainly seems to work as expected. Eg, using :
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=80 listenaddress=dc1.abc.com connectport=80 connectaddress=www.abc.com
on my DC where I've setup a working external domain name with the www record pointing to the website, and the non-www record pointing to the DC, requests to the non-www address are successfully being redirected to the www address (after confirming it didn't
happen prior to adding the portproxy).
So on the face of it that does look like a workable solution. I haven't used it myself in anger obviously, but the two downsides I can think of immediately to this solution are :
1) This operates as a proxy, so unlike the IIS method that Ace mentioned where it would tell the client to go to the www address instead (so the client connects direct), this method keeps your DC acting as a middle man, eg all communications to that address
go through your DC rather than direct from the client to the website. Depending on what they're doing on the website this may or may not be an issue for you.
2) Since the client is continuing to connect to the DC throughout, if you ever did need the have something on the DC responding to port 80 then you could have issues. That said, according to
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731068(v=ws.10).aspx the portproxy listenaddress can be a FQDN rather than IP, so that could mitigate any issues there.

Command Link inside table to external website in popup window

Hi,
I am trying to have a command link inside a table which is on the tables id. I know that if I have control of the destination page I can use setCurrentRowKeyValue. However I do not have control of the external website. So I cannot add it into my faces-config.xml file? I have tried putting a GoLink and a GoButton but I get the following Illegal character in fragment error, when I put my destination URL in. An example of the format the URL is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio?&music=#{row.PrimaryKey}&adf=123
Where I am adding in #{row.PrimaryKey} which is the Id of the row. I would like to have the new page opened into a pop up window if this is possible.
I am not sure if this can be done in the backing bean or whether my approach is the correct one?
Many Thanks
Steve

something like...
<af:goLink text="#{row.PrimaryKey}"
destination="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio?&music=#{row.PrimaryKey}&adf=123"
targetFrame="_blank"/>Regards,

Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.

I have an iMac that meets system requirements. I have downloaded CS4 from Adobe and when I try to install it says "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance." This happens while it is checking the system profile. I have read many forums and tried the following:
Re-downloading the software
Moving the download to an external drive to install
Deleting all Adobe programs on my computer
Clearing all caches
Installing in safe mode
Verifying the disk
Creating a new administrator and then installing
Attempting to re-install after the error
None of these options have seemed to make a bit of difference. If there is another option could someone please share? Adobe said they will not ship actual discs although I own the program. They have yet to be able to help me when I have called.
Thank you in advance for any help!

404 status check for external website

Hi,
In my application, i want to check for some external website.
e.g. i have my own application and in that there is a link of some different website i.e. www.yahoo.com. I click that link and in case of 404 error, we should get some customized error page instead of "The page cannot be displayed"
Please let me know if there are any other information you want
~Aman

did you try simply to create the URL:URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/");and see if this throws an exception or not?
If that isn't enough you could try the create a connection:java.net.URLConnection yc = yahoo.openConnection();greetz

Help! CS4 install - Mac - "Setup has encountered and error and cannot continue"

Attempting to install CS4 Design Premium on PowerMac G5 with Mac OS 10.4.11
Install with first DVD and gets about 80% across on the progress bar and it fails with a message "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue".    Is there an install log created where I could get diagnostic messages to give a hint on what the error is?
Any insight is totally appreciated!

The worst telephone support I have ever experienced!   Pathetic.
The first recommendation posted here in response to my initial inquiry was to contact technical support becaue it is "FREE".   I really suggest that you no longer make recommendations like that.
The first call I was placed on hold 20 minutes after the technician told me "TWO' minutes.   I hung up the telephone because I could only assume I was placed back in the queue.
The second call I had to spell my first name, my last name letter by letter to have the technician read it back to me letter by letter from a script, A=APPLE, B=BOY, B=CAT......   he also placed me on hold.   If had to spell my name, and he spell it back to me, how can I explain an error I am having, steps I have taken and have any reasonable expectation of a solution being translated back to me?   I hung up after being placed on hold a second time.
The third call iced this pathetic excuse for support.    Again, at least six minutes spelling my name. Another four or five minutes spelling the email address.    Repeating the error code three times, slowly word by word.   This call I endured for fourty minutes.   After the third time on hold I admitted I gave it Adobe's recommended course of support and threw in the towel.
Understandable that it costs the company less to have this support done for pennies on the dollar overseas, but what about the cost to the customer who is left dead in the water with no faith in getting any help and wastes time and energy?    I guarantee you could have five hundred people lined up for one technical support job in the united states who would stay awake nites to learn and master the program and be pleasant to talk to and give the customer a sense of value!   As it is now, I feel only less than worthless as a customer trying to support this product.
Can't fix this problem, so going oldschool on it and load a fresh copy of the os.

Cannot Find Photos on External Hard Drive Using iPhoto and Time Machine

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on this forum and am really hoping for some help! I have a 2006 PowerBook G4 that is running iPhoto and Time Machine, and I've used an external hard drive to backup everything on the computer via Time Machine. When I plug the external hard drive into my newer 2010 MacBook Pro, I follow this path to try to access the photos:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I click "iPhoto Library", I get the following message:
     "The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library."
So, I do as the error message says and I hold down the "option" key and iPhoto launches and says:
     What Photo Library do you want iPhoto to use?
In this case, I choose "Other Library..." and again follow this path:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I choose this, I again get the following message:
     The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
So as you can see, I'm feeling a bit like I'm chasing my tail in trying to open these photos. I did follow another user's advice and confirm that all photos are infact on the hard drive by using the "control" button and clicking "iPhoto Library" under the pictures folder, and choosing "Show Package Contents". All looks to be in tact in the "originals" folder when showing package contents, however, I just can't find a way to actually view the photos in iPhoto. I really don't want to import all the photos to my current MacBook Pro, because I'd like them to live on the external hard drive (which is formatted for Macs) so that I can browse the photos on the external drive, rather than housing it on my computer.
One other thing I tried was opening iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and going to File > Browse Backups... which essentially opens Time Machine and shows me the photos on my MacBook Pro but gives me no option to view them from my External Hard Drive.
Any super users out there willing to lend me some help?
Thanks!

The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
You can have an iPhoto library on an external drive and use it from different machines
and you can have a Time Machine backup
The two can not be on the same volume - and iPhoto can not access the TM backup - it must be restored to use it
