Slow file browsing in MED-V / XP Mode with NAT and DFS

Note, for the purposes of this question, this issue is with the Windows Virtual PC / XP Mode integration portion of MED-V so is not MED-V specific.
We are in the process of deploying hundreds of MED-V instances to Windows 7 PCs to support legacy applications until they are replaced with versions that are compatible with Windows 7.  Due to security concerns and our network infrastructure configuration,
we are required to use "Shared Networking (NAT)" mode for the Windows XP virtual machines.  Our network drives are mapped to DFS shares.  Depending on the site and drive mappings of a user, when opening or saving a file in an application,
it can take several minutes to browse to the target directory, even if it's not on a DFS share.  Occasionally, it takes so long that the RemoteApp window hangs and disappears, even though the application is still running in the Windows XP VM.
Running network traces in the VM, I can see that Windows XP tries to "ping" all of the DFS targets whenever the network drives are enumerated, such as when clicking on My Computer.  It waits for responses, then eventually times out. 
From what I understand, this is the way that Windows XP determines which DFS target link is the fastest.  Unfortunately, since vpc.exe does not run with admin rights in Windows 7, ICMP (ping sends ICMP ECHO REQUESTS) is blocked by the NAT
between the VM and the Windows 7 host.  (This is why you cannot ping other PCs on the network from within the Windows XP VM when using NAT.)  Therefore, the long wait times happen while XP waits for the replies that never come.
To verify that this is indeed the problem, I started vpc.exe with admin rights, then started the MED-V Workspace.  I could ping other computers now from within XP and browsing took seconds instead of minutes.  However, our users will not have admin
rights in Windows 7 so this is not an option for them.  I also tested in bridged mode instead of Shared Networking mode with the same positive results.  However, this is also not an option in our environment.
Any solutions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

  • How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?

    My question it:
    How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?
    I have designed a "website" in adobe muse and exported it as an html file. I am not sure how to send my .html file in an email!
    Best,
    Nicole

    Unfortunately, the answer is, you don't. The requirements for HTML displayed in an e-mail reader are very different than those for HTML displayed in a browser. The output of Muse won't work as an HTML e-mail. You could upload the Muse site as a website and provide a link to it in an e-mail, but the HTML generated by Muse is not suitable for direct display by an e-mail program.

  • Slow file browser

    The dreamweaver file browser is so slow and laggy at the moment.
    Everything else on the computer is smooth and responsive, and it's very frustrating that the most important program on the computer is also the slowest.
    I've read several other posts covering the same issue, so I'd like to know is it going to be resolved soon, or should I start looking for an alternative editor?

  • Keeps telling me my file does not have a program associated with it and go to folder options in the control pane. Where is it located

    When I try to save a file the download window keeps coming up. When I click to open the erro message says "File does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel." Where is this control panel and what kind of association do I make. Usually it was adobe but I don't have that choice

    Try using this link first https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file?esab=a&s=File+does+not+have+a+program+associated+with+it+for+performing+this+function&r=0&as=s
    Also it could be the type of file you are downloading. Like if it was a type of text that your default word processor did not accept it would give you that message.
    Hope this helps,

  • Slow report viewer/rdlc performance in local mode with Single Sign On

    Hi Team,
    We have recently enabled Single Sign On to our application and after that our rdlc reports loading got extremely slow.
    Please find the below configuration that we are using.
    1. Report Viewer 11.0.0.0
    2. running rdlc file in local mode (not using Report Server)
    3. System.IdentityModel.Services 4.0.0.0
    The query behind the reports is returning result in 5-10 sec but report is taking 1-4 min to load (sometimes getting timeout) (as per the complexity of the report).
    We have tried a lot of workaound but nothing worked.
    i saw performance improvement in reports by addding <trust legacyCasModel = "True"   level="Full" /> in config file, But using this we are getting "Dynamic operations can only be performed in homogenous AppDomain" error
    in many pages of our application.
    Without SSO reports are running completely fine.
    We are stucked here and not able to proceed. Is there any issue with the SSO and rdlc in local mode ? Is there any hot fix available for the same ?
    Please help !!!

  • Co-existance mode with OpenSSO and Federation

    This is just a general question. I have just upgraded to express build 8 of OpenSSO from my existing 7.1 legacy mode Access Manager. I am staying in legacy mode because of my Communications Express mail client and am waiting until I upgrade to convergence before I make the full switch to OpenSSO realm mode.
    The question is: do I lose anything in the federation models in my co-existing world? Does all the SAML 2.0 and the new shibbleth stuff work in co-existance mode or do I need to de-couple my Communications Express?
    thanks

  • Best Airport Extreme Wireless Radio Mode with Old and New Macs and PC

    I'm running Airport Utility 5.3.2 and am running / connecting to the Internet with a new Airport Extreme 802.11n Gigabit Ethernet (the new squared off one) with "Version 7.3.2".
    In addition to my new MacBook Black (which has 802.11n, I have two other older Maxs that run 802.11b/g (and also a PC that has 802.11.b/g/n).
    Currently, the Airport Extreme's "Wireless" "Radio Mode" is set to
    802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    But, reviewing the Radio Mode menu, I see there are a number of choices that seem "faster" - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz), 802.11n (802.11a compatible) and 802.11n only (5 GHz).
    Can I set the Radio Mode to any of these other settings and still have my older Macs (and the PC) connect to the internet using this Airport Extreme? Or, do I have to leave my Airport Extreme Radio Mode set to what appears to be a slower speed 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) setting to allow others to use this Airport Extreme Base Station?
    FWIW, I do have an older Airport 802.11g version 5.7 still connected and set up and the older computers can / could connect through that. However, I was hoping to give that one to a friend for their use elesewhere and wanted to have only one Airport Extreme set up at my house.

    "you'll use N+B/G at 2.4 GHZ."
    I guess you means that I should continue with my current setting on the Airport Extreme - which is "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" - if I want all my computers to access the web via the Extreme. Correct?
    I'm too much of a novice to try a "bridge" mode setup.
    However, your suggestion (I think) "It would be more reliable and faster speed if you could connect both routers to using ethernet" does give me hope.
    My Verizon Fios modem is actually a router. Indeed, I have my TiVo box connected to the Fios modem/router.
    If I connect BOTH of my Airport Base Stations to the Fios modem/router and then do the following:
    (1) set the newer "Extreme" Base Station to "802.11n only (5 GHz)" and
    (2) keep the older Base Station (running 802.11g) as is
    then my (and others') newer computer(s) with 802.11n can connect at high speed via the Extreme and older computers can still connect using the older Base Station.
    Correct?

  • Open mode (monitor mode) with ise and catalyst switches

    Hi There,
    Anyone know if the following observation is correct ?
    From the TrustSec 2.1 "Monitor Mode" guide i get the idea that Open mode, is not really as zero impact in a data gathering part of an ISE deployment is a was expecting. The guide describes using Profiling to authorize Cisco IP phones for the Voice VLAN.
    - Does this mean that regular methods like using CDP won't work to for this once i enable dot1x on an access switch port interface ?
    - And that i will need to figure out which ports should be set for multi-domain (phone+pc), and which should be set for multi-auth(possibly multiple devices on one port) during the open mode period ?
    Regards
    Jan

    Hello Jan-
    Below is my input to your questions:
    From the TrustSec 2.1 "Monitor Mode" guide i get the idea that Open mode, is not really as zero impact in a data gathering part of an ISE deployment is a was expecting.
    Yes, a device is still allowed on the network even if it fails all authentication methods (MAB, 802.1x, etc). Basically you use monitor mode to perform discovery and see what would have been blocked had ISE been deployed in production.
    The guide describes using Profiling to authorize Cisco IP phones for the Voice VLAN.
    Yes, you can use profiling to do this. Keep in mind that you will need advanced licensing for this. Otherwise, you can either use MAB with static MACs imported/entered in the local database or EAP-TLS with phone certificates
    - Does this mean that regular methods like using CDP won't work to for this once i enable dot1x on an access switch port interface ?
    CDP will still work, in fact some of the profiling happens thanks to CDP, however, the device will simply not going to be allowed to get on the network and the Voice VLAN unless it passes authentication/authorization.
    - And that i will need to figure out which ports should be set for multi-domain (phone+pc), and which should be set for multi-auth(possibly multiple devices on one port) during the open mode period ?
    This really depends on how secure you want your network to be
    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot bridge mode with netgear and tg799 on nbn

    I am on fixed wireless nbn so there are no uni v ports on the nbn ntd i have a netgear r7000 that i'd like to use as a an access point and router im happy to use a tg799vac in bridge mode to get dial tone but it is unable to authenticate via ppoe when i set it up in bridge mode the netgear r7000 authenticates using ipoe through the tg799vac and i am unable to get dial tone has anybody had any experience with this problem?

    Hi JimmyWish, 
    The way NBN works is that the modem doesn't need to authenticate to get you connected.  If you plug a PC directly into the Wireless NTD's activated Uni-D port you will be able to surf the internet.  The TG799  modem is provided to allow a wireless LAN connection and provide you with a voice service.
    The set up you are explaining is not supported by BigPond technical support, however I could advise that you connect the TG799  directly to the NTD, place it into bridge mode and then connect your Netgear r7000.  See how that goes.
