Standalone APs vs. Lightweight APs for very small sites

Hello,
I am proposing a solution for a small site with 3 APs.
My question is whether is worth to have Lighweight solution for such small sites or should I go for standalone APs. ...WLC significalntly increase the price....

I agree with the IOS setup.
You can configure Wireless Domain Infrastructure to make all APs aware of each others and also to improve roaming times.

Grid Control Architecture for Very Large Sites: New Article published

A new article on Grid Control was published recently:
Grid Control Architecture for Very Large Sites
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/havewala-gridcontrol.html

Oliver,
Thanks for the comments. The article is based on practical experience. If one was to recommend a pool of 2 management servers for a large corporate with 1000 servers, what that would mean is that if 1 server was brought down for any maintenance reason (for eg. applying an EM patch), all the EM work load would be on the remaining management server. So it is better to have 3 management servers instead of 2 when the EM system is servicing so many targets. Otherwise, the DBAs would be a tad angry since only 1 remaining managment server would not be able to service them properly during the time of the maintainance fix on the first management server.
The article ends with these words: "You can easily manage hundreds or even *thousands* of targets with such an architecture. The large corporate which had deployed this project scaled easily up to managing 600 to 700 targets with a pool of just three management servers, and the future plan is to manage *2,000 or more* targets which is quite achievable." The 2000 or more is based on the same architecture of 3 managment servers.
So as per the best practice document, 2 management servers would be fine for 1000 servers, although I would still advise 3 servers in practice.
For your case of 200 servers, it depends on the level of monitoring you are planning to do, and the type of database managment activities that
will be done by the DBAs. For eg, if the Dbas are planning on creating standby databases now and then through Grid Control, running backups daily
via Grid Control, cloning databases in Grid Control, patching databases in Grid Control and so on, I would definitely advise a pool of 2 servers
in your case. 2 is always better than 1.
Regards,
Porus.

Advice on moving from workgroup to domain for very small network

Hello all,
I work for a small company and inherited the part time IT/Operations position and I want to understand the impact of changing from workgroup to domain. I understand the process and I have set up small test domains before but I want to be certain I
understand this so I figured I better ask the pros.
The setup:
1 Desktop class system, recent i5 quad, 16GB RAM, 1TB HD with Server 2008 R2. Current roles are File Sharing and WSUS.
3 Desktops running Win 7 Home
1 Desktop with win 7 Pro
1 Laptop with Vista Home
1 Laptop with Win 7
1 Laptop with Win 8 Pro
I have configured all devices to uses the WSUS for updates as they wanted these managed and this seems to be the easiest way.
Right now all users have an account on the server that is used to map to their shares. I know that the home versions cannot join to a domain and with this small of a network I don't want to join any device to a domain as we have only one server and
it would not be reasonable to add more servers.
The thing is they want to setup local sharing of calendars and contacts, etc. I have 2010 exchange server and it is required to be on a domain.
The Questions:
Can the domain still "act" as a workgroup and users still connect to the shares and exchange without being joined to the domain? What is the impact on performance for this server? Will the home version users still be able to connect to
the shares (I assume yes) and to the exchange through outlook? Is there a better way to achieve the workgroup features of exchange without using exchange and not subscribing to Office 365? We do not have an internet domain name for this business.
Does this matter for setting up a domain?
Anything you can think of that I should consider please feel free.
Thank you all for your advice.

Hi Paul,
You are very welcome, I am very glad that my suggestions helped.
For your first question, in a domain, the Domain Controller clearly has much more tasks to perform than a work group server, while it also has more management options for an administrator to better control his/her client machines.
In addition, domain acts as a central management solution will reduce the work of the administrator. For an example, under workgroup mode, if we have multiple servers which have shared resources, we need to create the same user
accounts on each of them, while in a domain, we only need to create accounts once on the DC, then all the accounts can be recognized across the whole domain, no matter how many servers and client machines are within it.
For the second question, yes, single lable domain name is not recommended, but it is allowed. Single lable domains are supported in
Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Exchange 2010, while single label DNS name resolution is also possible.
However, there are other Microsoft and third-party products which don’t support
single lable domains. My suggestion is don’t use it while it will cause you trouble.

Pci compliance for very small biz using mac and ipad

I run a very SMALL business. We have one MacBook an iPad and an iPhone. We run everything through a second party merchant card processor/software (mindbody). However, according to the PCI compliance survey I just finished, I am supposed to run quarterly internal scans for vulnerabilities. Does antivirus software do this?
Also, what firewall settings do I need on my mac to be PCI compliant?
I know this may be a very simple question, but the PCI survey assumes everyone has an IT department with a ton of policies and procedures. Trying to figure out how to be compliant as a super small business without all that infrastructure.

Anti-virus software would not do PCI vulnerability scanning. You need specialized software to do that. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend specific software. My wife's small business was wrestling with PCI issues some time ago, and they're currently not doing any kind of internal scans. I don't know why not. They do get scanned externally periodically, to look for vulnerabilities in their setup that could allow people outside their network to gain access.
PCI compliance is a scam anyway. It doesn't prevent the numerous breaches that so many high-profile companies have been facing lately, and you can bet they're dotting their i's and crossing their t's with respect to PCI compliance. They have the budget to do so.
Your Mac should not need the firewall on. That shouldn't affect PCI compliance, if the Mac is properly configured and does not have any services open in System Preferences -> Sharing.

Best font for very small type

I am working on a small pocket book. Any suggestions for a font and size to get the most words on a page with high readability?
Joel

Nomina makes the Italian phonebook really legible with very small characters.
French PTT choose a standard font in a small size and of course most of the oldies asked for the big book because the small one was quite impossible to use.
As far as I know, PTT dropped the small book.
Recognizing that they choose a sad font was too simple,they prefer to say: these oldies are old fashioned, they don't accept changes.
I know that Nomina is the property of the Italian company but was it really impossible to buy the rights of use?
Remember, we are the country which claims at the face of the world: "Impossible n'est pas Français".
With public administrations, "Impossible" is too often "Possible".
I don't know if these remarks are politically correct

How do i generate any signal for very small frequency

Hi,
I want to generate a sinusoidal waveform at f=0.01 Hz, which is a quasi-steady regime in pipe flow and is very important to generate such a small frequency-flow for me. However, when I enter the value of 0.01 to the related frequency blank and run the program, it always fails and give the same error which can be seen in the attachment "f=0.01.jpeg". When I go through the place where the error generates, I can not see any problem???
My other problem is that: For frequency range between f=0.05 Hz and f=0.1 Hz, I can generate the waveform, but the vi always detect the same frequency as 0.1 Hz. For all entering frequency values of 0.05, 0.06, 0.07 Hz,the program detects the same frequency of 0.1 Hz. But, after f=0.1 Hz, the program detect the correct frequency which is entered. i.e.,if I enter 1 Hz, the program detect 1 Hz after executation of the program or for f=10 Hz, it can detect the same frequency of 10 Hz.
Could you please help me for my two problems?

Hi Kyle A.,
How can I eliminate the small vibration/perturbation on the sinusoidal signal as shown in the jpg file that I now attached? Could you please help me? I think it is due to electrical noise (power line noise of 60 Hz). Thank you again.

Is Muse going to be a better choice than Dreamweaver for my very small company's website?

Very new to Dreamweaver and even newer to MUSE. Which program is going to be easier to help me maintain my companies website?

Really all depends on your needs. Muse will do for most small sites but as soon as your needs reach the requirement of doing anything dynamic or custom code then you are better of with Dreamweaver. Muse is easier if you aren't a coder but along with the ease comes restrictions on what you can and can't do.

I have a Windows 8.1 machine. I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation. Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read. The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it. How do I fix this problem?

I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation. Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read. The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it. How do I fix this problem?

There is no application called "Adobe" - you are either working with Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Open up the preferences for the application (Edit>Preferences), then go to the "General" category and modify the settings for "Scale for screen resolution". You will have to restart the application after you do that. Does that fix your problems?

Aps for processing RAW or DNG picture files

Are there any aps for processing RAW and or DNG files on ad iPad?

In the normal situation, LR needs to see a PS installed for it to detect the Edit In PS option is possible, so if you uninstall both, then install PS, first, then LR. Of course with this release there may be some hiccup that requires installing either one or the other, again, but if you've uninstalled both and are reinstalling both, then install PS, first.

I am new to apple software having worked with microsoft all these years. The switch was mainly for my photographs. Iphotos seemed to have changed all digital albums from jpeg to tiff format hence the very small resolution. Can anyone out there please help me recover these photos to origianal format???
Thanks
suvieve63

Gosh I am already tired of trying to retrieve this photo album and it seems like a waste of time and money spent on an apple IMac.
No disrespect intended but until you learn how iPhoto and Macs work you will continue to be confused and frustrated.
You say you want to create a book in iPhoto and have it printed by Apple, right. Have you finished creating the book in iPhoto? If so the Control (right) - click in the View all pages window background and select Save Book as PDF in the contextual menu?
Open the the PDF file with Preview and check for any errors or problems. If there are none you can order the book by clicking oin the Buy Book button at the bottom. Save the pdf file to compare with the printed book when it arrives in you feel there's a problem with it. That's all you need to do. There's no use of the Finder required.

Configuring APS for 10G ITU w/ Splitter

Does anyone have experience on configuring APS for 10G ITU card with Splitter so that in a case of signal degrade it will switchover to the protection path? The default switchover mechanism is based on LOL (Loss-Of-Light) but it wont help if signal degrades for example to -25dB. All experiences and best practices are wellcome.

I know the protection schemes (client, splitter, Y-cable etc.) but my question is how to configure splitter protection so that in a case of signal degrease it will do switchover to the protection path.
See below an output from ONS15530:
ONS15530_1>sh aps
AR : APS Role, Wk: Working, Pr: Protection
AS : APS State, Ac: Active, St: Standby, NA: Not Applicable
IS : Interface State, Up: Up, Dn: Down
MPL: Minimum Protection Level, SD: Signal Degrade, SF: Signal Failure
LOX: Loss of Light/Loss of (CDR) Lock/Loss of Frame/Sync,
LOL: Loss of Light, - not currently protected
Interface AR AS IS MPL Redundant Intf Group Name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wavepatch1/0/0 Wk Ac Up LOX Wavepatch1/0/1 CH1
Wavepatch1/0/1 Pr St Up - Wavepatch1/0/0 CH1
So APS will switch to the protection path only in a case of Loss of Light/Loss of (CDR) Lock/Loss of Frame/Sync. So it WONT do the failover if RX signal level degreases below the minimum RX level (-23dB for 10G ITU card), because there is still light coming (not LOL case). So how do I protect my system against this kind of signal degreade?
rgds,

HT2486 the photos that I add to address book will only be there for a few seconds after I close the edit button. Either they go away completely or they a very small portion of the actual photo

the photos that I add to address book will only be there for a few seconds after I close the edit button. Either they go away completely or they are very small portion of the actual photo

Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?
