Should we move intranet to internet/extranet given employee device proliferation?

Like most companies, we have an intranet for employees/internal use and separately.. have an internet (public website) that external partners can also log into and to things (i.e. internet/extranet).
For an employee to use the intranet, he or she must either be on the WAN or VPN'd into the WAN. Further, their PC must be joined to the domain and they must log into the domain (as we use Windows authentication).
But these days with all the devices that are not joined to domain and not easily on the VPN, employees are asking for access to essentially the intranet website from the outside world. To me the options are:
1) Say no, that external access is not secure enough and tough cookies
2) Say yes, and re-architect the intranet to instead be an internet/extranet site with username/password login (much like the public site but employee-focused with much more content/data access
Thoughts? Thanks

You can still secure your site with the same domain credentials, it will just require a challenge/response when they hit the site from a non-domain client. You need to consider the wider security implications of exposing such sites on the internet but
otherwise it should be fine.

HT4929 Should I move to icloud if none of my devices are compatible?

I have a macmini and a macbook air both with 2GB ram running snow leopard, an iphone 3G running iOS4.2.1 and and an original ipad.
I was a .mac member and a mobileme member.
I stopped using mobileme to sync contacts and calendars because for some reason my contacts and calendars were corrupted and would never sync properly. So I was basically only using mail.
I signed up to keep my mail.
I used gallery and web.me - which I know are going away. I downloaded everything but and it will be painful for me when everything is deleted.
QUESTIONS:
Do I need to move to iCloud? Is there any benefit for me?
If I upgrade my macOS to Lion or get a new iPhone after June 30th, will I be able to use iCloud with my current email address?
Afraid to upgrade...
- I don't want to upgrade macmini and macbook air from snow leopard ot Lion right now because I heard that both my machines may need more than 2GM ram to run smoothly.
- I don't want to upgrade from iPhoto 8.12 to iPhoto 11 because I heard people don't like it and it's slow with only 2GM ram.
- I don't want to my original iPad to iOS5 because I heard that some people's got 'bricked'?
- I cant' upgrade my iPhone 3G
QUESTION: Should I upgrade my OS and iPhoto? It seems like I only read bad things, not positive things which is very paralyzing.
Afraid to trust Apple with my data... Every time I commit to putting my data in an apple service, the service is ended and my data is deleted. homepage.mac, gallery, web.me, corrupted contact lists, etc... Other companies care about the data and help customers move their data.
I don't want to buy all new hardware and software with the promise that Apple will take care of my data. They didn't when I was paying for mobileme. Will they care about my data if it's a free service in iCloud? I've been an Apple customer since 1991, and have owned dozens of apple products and even worked at Apple. July 1, 2012 I will be very sad when my data... photos and websites will be deleted like they are nothing. Everything Apple helps you create and collect is treated as if it has no significance.

If you have moved your current MobileMe email address to iCloud in order to keep using it after today, then you have already "moved" to iCloud - you just havent moved everything and are not using all the features.
At anytime in the future, when you get compatible hardware and software you can start using the rest of iCloud with your current account.
No company can guarantee that they or their services will be around forever. Apple have stated publicly that iCloud is central to their business for the next decade or more.
- RAM is cheap and your machines and software will always benefit from having more RAM.
- Like anything in life, some people like iPhoto, some don't. Maybe you should make up your own mind?
- What about the 99.999% of people whose iPads didn't get bricked updating to iOS5? People get killed everyday crossing the street - doesn't stop you doing it though, does it?
You should never trust any single company with your data - regardless of who it is. That's why backups were invented.
Apple have given over a years notice of the end of MobileMe (much longer than any other company has ever given of thE closure of other services, that I recall). They also automatically handle the migration to iCloud, and provide lots of detailed support articles for backing up and moving your stuff. What more do you want? Them to come round personally and do it for you?

SCCM design DMZ for intranet and internet clients

Hello,
I am looking for some design recommendations for my test environment that I would like to apply to one production environment (I already posted about this topic but I still have some questions).
I am working with 2 domains (2 forests) with no trust relationships.
Domain A : internal
Domain B : DMZ
From a firewall point of view, only the ports from the internal to the DMZ will be opened.
From the internet to the DMZ, only HTTPS will be opened.
Currently, I only manage the clients connected to the internal domain.
I would like to deploy a new management point in DMZ that will allow me to manage my DMZ clients (servers) and my Internet clients (laptops).
Should I use 2 management points ? Is it supported ?
- one for the DMZ clients
- one dedicated to my internet clients
If I use only one MP, should I allow Intranet and Internet clients ?
Should I allow my DMZ clients to communicate with the internal management point (port 80) and only use the MP in DMZ for my Internet clients.
The only documents I can find on Technet require too many ports to be opened in the firewall (From DMZ to Internal) and can't be applied to my environment.
Thanks.

Have a look at the following blog which explains your queries comprehensively.

IPhoto library corrupted. Should I move to Aperture, or make smaller libraries?

Hi,
Mountain lion mac mini, running most recent iPhoto.
iPhoto library of 376 GBs (finder size)
In November I had hard drive issues which corrupted a previous library. I created a new one library, and merged libraries from old backups on a different drive. using iPhot library manager. Now, several months later, iPhoto is stating that I don't have permission to write to the library. It quit. Now it won't open. I have tried using the iPhoto repair utility - first to repair permissions, then to repair the database. Still being told that I don't have permission.
This database is on an external drive that I have read and write permissions, the iPhoto library file tells me that I have Read and Write permissions.
Given the size of the database - should I move to Aperture? Would it do a better job? Or should I make smaller iPhoto libraries?

This database is on an external drive that I have read and write permissions, the iPhoto library file tells me that I have Read and Write permissions.
And how is your drive formatted? Does it have the correct formatting for iPhoto libraries - MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
To check the format see this document: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture
The title says Aperture, but it applies to iPhoto as well.

What is the best approach to setup intranet and internet sites in SharePoint 2013?

I am planning to setup a internet and intranet website for one of our client. What is the best approach to setup this kind of environment?
Some of the users (registered users) from the internet should be able to access information in the intranet site. I have created two web applications for intranet and internet. Is it the right way to go forward?
Thanks in advance! :)
LM

Hi Laemon,
Creating two separate web applications, one for Internet site and the other for Intranet is the right thing you have done.
1. To properly plan creation of your web application, site collection and website is of utmost important to ensure you build your site in a professional and most recommended way. Go through this article from Technet that would help you plan your site in
SharePoint 2013.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263267.aspx
2. Planning and choosing the right authentication type is also a very important decision. I recommend you to go through the below article if you have not already gone through.
Plan for user authentication methods in SharePoint 2013
3. Plan for licensing for your SharePoint 2013 Internet Facing Website.
Licensing Internet Sites Built on SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2013 licensing for Internet facing sites
4. To grant access to registered users to Intranet site (as you mentioned in question), if you created both web applications in same farm (same domain) then that would be easy to grant access using Site Permission with Windows Authentication enabled for
both web application. If both web applications are created on different domains then If there is a two-way trust in place, and the SharePoint servers have the necessary port access to the remote domain's Domain Controller, then it is automatic. If it is a
one-way trust, then you need to follow these directions:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263460(v=office.12).aspx
If there is no domain trust in place, then you either need to create one, or look at alternative technologies,
such as ADFS.

Intranet and Internet Site deployment

I have to design an Intranet and an Intranet for the same client. Both sites share a few items in common. I have a few questions.
Can both sites have one authoring environment or separate ones.
Can both sites be deployed on the same server or different servers.
Do both sites have to be isolated from each other.
If there is content common among the two sites, how can I share this information.

If the main difference between intranet and internet is content or permission to see content, then you should be able to first create a web application for your intranet, then Extend that same web app in to a new authentication zone for the internet.
When you use Extend both sites will share the same content databases, but have distinct Urls and authentication schemes. So in this scenario, all content is common, but you would use permissions to determine what is visible to anonymous users.
If you need greater protection of true intranet content, then you might consider creating a separate web app for intranet, a second for internet authoring, and then extend the internet one to another zone to provide anonymous access. In this case,
to share common content, you could look at the Content Deployment features. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721058(v=office.14).aspx)
All of these can be on the same server, provided it can be made visible to the public internet through firewalls, etc.
Hope that helps.

My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
If you are still having problems try a restore.

Is After Effects CC disk cache taking up double the space on my RAID 0 SSD? Should I move it?

In AE CC the available space on my RAID 0 (2 x 120GB SSD) drive drops from 100GB to around 40GB as soon as I do even a small RAM preview and even though I have set the disk cache in the preferences to 30GB. It also causes AE to prompt that I may not have enough space on the drive for the amount of cache I have set in preferences even though there appears to be 40GB left on it.
I really value working with long fast RAM previews but other than that I'm not sure if the performance is jeopardised at all here. At one point I was enjoying 60GB of disk cache.
RAID 0 is striped so it shouldn't take up double the space, am I right?
I am about to install a RAID 0 HDD (2 x 3TB) for source files as I work with video a lot and have a 4K RAW project on the go so no time like the present. So should I move the disk cache from the ridiculously fast RAID 0 SSD to the new RAID HDD drive (as suggested in Harm's guide)?

Thank you Mylenium. All this time I have been absolutely convinced that you don't need to defragment SSDs. Is this a complete misunderstanding? Even if you do though, I have Windows 8 (not 8.1) which is doing that once a week automatically (apparently even to SSDs).
Are you saying that the 30GB disk cache set up works like a contiguous file?
i7 3930k (12 virtual cores) on P9X79 Deluxe
2 x 120GB Force GT Raid 0 SSD on SATA 6gb/s is my boot drive as well as where I keep programs and the disk cache. I do a disk clean up to remove temp files a couple of times a week but that's all.
1 x 3TB Barracuda on on SATA 6gb/s for back ups and exports
3TB Lacie on USB 3 for source video and project files
2TB Lacie on USB 3 for archive projects
660ti 2GB
I'll try a manual defrag of my RAID 0 SSDs now.

A Folder "Apple Security_files" is on my desktop. where should I move it?

I have a powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.6. I also have OS X 10.2.7 on an external hard drive. This is because my Epson perfection 3170 scanner will not work with 10.4 but did work with 10.2 and I'm trying (unsucessfully) to use it.
(But that is another topic) A folder named Apple Security_Files which has 13 gif files, 1 css file (default.css), and 5 png files (a.png thru a_005png) in it. I'm not sure if this folder came out of my 10.4 librays somewhere or my 10.2 library somewhere. It is the only folder with this name that spotlight finds on my system. WHERE SHOULD I MOVE IT TO TO GET IT OFF THE DESKTOP?
Thanks
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Not sure about the name "Apple Security_Files" - but here's a breakdown of the file formats you've noted:
gif = picture/image file
css = "style-sheet" for web page design
png = macromedia fireworks document
If I had to guess... this looks like some part of a web design project.
Hope this helps!

What do you want to watch it on?
You need a computer (Mac or Windows) with iTunes, an AppleTV, an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.

HT1390 Can you watch a rented movie without an internet connection?

It is my hope to rent a movie today
and watch it while on a flight tomorrow.
Can I watch a rented movie without an internet connection?
I.e: is it streamed or downloaded?
Do I have to buy the movie in order to watch it without an internet connection?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Security Software included with the purchase of a new MacBook Air, OS X.

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Software included free with the purchase of a new MacBook Air OS X?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You mustn't. Apart from the fact that OS X doesn't need an antivirus (OS X has got its own security systems), commercial antiviruses like Kaspersky can do more harm than something good for your Mac. See > http://www.reedcorner.net/mmg
If you want to install an antivirus, install Sophos or ClamXav
