SUBINACL - the right tool for the job?

Here is the scenario:
DomainA and DomainB
Full Trust both ways
Windows File Share in DomainA. Created a windows server in DomainB. Used Quest Migration Manager to migrate users and groups from DomainA to DomianB, keeping SID history. Xcopied files from DomainA server to DomainB server, keeping the permissions from DomainA. 
Now, the Trust will be broken and we need to change the permissions from [email protected] to [email protected] Thousands of shares and permissions, so can't do manually. So far I have tried SUBINACL in the following context:
Subinacl /noverbose /output=e:\ntfs_perms.txt /subdirectories e:\Share
and then
Subinacl /playfile e:\ntfs_perms.txt
This changed some of the permissions to DomainB, but removed a lot of permissions.
Is this the right tool to use for this? Is this the right syntax for this scenario?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
It seems like you have  enabled the SID history.
Based on my experience, after we completing the migration, sIDHistory should be removed from migrated principals to minimize management complexity. Microsoft has provided a sample script and
Powershell command to remove SIDHistory.
So, please first confirm if the migration process completed or not, then plan to remove the SIDhistory.

Before we do this, please backup the system state to making any important change to avoid any risk.  After clearing the SID history, please try to run the subinacl command to check if it
works.
Regards.

  • Is Keynote the right application for the job?

    I have a job that requires integrating an audio soundtrack with some slides. The difference between this presentation and a normal slide presentation is that most of the information is in the soundtrack (it's a lecture, with some slides as visual aids). The amount of time in which the slides need to appear is relatively brief; in fact it's a fraction of the soundtrack's run-time.
    I have time index information that specifies where the slides should appear in the presentation. For example, there will be two minutes of soundtrack with a blue background, and then a slide will appear for 5 minutes while the soundtrack discusses its content. Then the slide should disappear into blue background for 10 minutes, then another slide for 3 minutes, then background for 20 minutes, then another slide...and so on.
    In other words, the soundtrack must play continuously, interspersed with occasional slides at specific times for specific durations, with blue background in between. I want to export the entire presentation as an integrated audio+video file and burn it to DVD. I already have the soundtrack as an .aiff file in Logic Pro 7.2, and I will have the slides as high-quality JPEG files. I don't own a Keynote license. I do have a QuickTime Pro license. I've played with this in Microsoft PowerPoint enough to determine that it's not the right tool for the job.
    I've looked at Keynote's Help documentation, and it's not immediately apparent how to start with an audio soundtrack and simply insert slides at specific times, for specific durations. Can I accomplish that in Keynote, or is there another application that would be better suited to the task?
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

    Brian:
    If I correctly understand the effect you've described, I imagine that would be VERY annoying. However, in the test presentation I made in iMovie, that's not exactly what I experienced. I added the soundtrack first, and then I placed the slide images where I wanted them. Initially, I did notice that I couldn't just jump ahead and place an image all the way at the end of the soundtrack file without iMovie adjoining it to the last image's segment on the timeline, but that was easy to fix. Once the image was in the timeline, I just dragged it all the way to the end of the soundtrack. After that, I could place images anywhere I wanted.

  • Right tool for the job?

    Hello,
    before I spent too much time investigating AM, could someone please answer me if it is the right tool for my scenario.
    What I need is SSO solution, that supports:
    - authentication with username /password, X509 cert, maybe even kerberos
    - the system needs to authenticate internal users (eg. AD users wih kerberos) and external users (eg. username / password)
    - the system is SOA oriented, all business logic is implemented in web services
    - if user invokes a web service, she needs to be authenticated, and her identity must be known to web service
    - so far I think there's no problem, right?
    - now, the first web service needs to call another web service. I need to pass original user identity further down the service-call-chain. Possible?
    - as a side feature, I'd like AM to provide additional user properties (principals?), eg. external user's company name
    Is this the job for AM or do I need another tool?
    Kind regards
    Jernej

  • Creator the right tool for applets?

    Hi.
    beeing new to Sun's Java Studio Creator I would like some opinions whether the Creator is the tool to use if use cases mainly focus on applets that get their data via WebServices.
    My main use case would be an applet with a tree-control showing a lot of machine tools and an area that displayes some charts. Charts would be rendered by a 3rd party component. The Applet should talk to a WebService exchanging XML-Data.
    I just don't know if Creator is the right tool for that.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Christian

    Personally, I would opt for Net Beans 5.0 beta 2 for this type of scenario. The IDE is much better suited for Swing and AWT type of applications. In addition, it has some impressive layout managers for Swing.

    Hi,
    Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
    Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

  • When importing a spreadsheet with redeem codes into apple configurator, it says it's not the right codes for the app.  But it is the right codes. I used one of the codes to purchase the app in itunes.

    I have a cart of 25 ipads with a macbook air.  I have logged into my VPP account and purchased the needed number of copies.  I downloaded the spreadsheet.  I took the first code from the spreadsheet, and logged into itunes using a regular account (not my VPP account), and used the code to download the app.  I put the app into configurator and then tried to add the spreadsheet with the codes in it.  It comes up and tells me that it is not the correct spreadsheet for that app. But it is the correct spreadsheet!!  I tried re-downloading the spreadsheet again and even tried re-downloading the app.  So I've now used two of my redeem codes and still can't get it to accept it into apple configurator.  I removed the app from apple configurator and re-added it.  The error message says it's not the right codes for the app "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn" and to please get the codes for "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn."  It's the same one!

    It won't let me edit my post, so I'm typing this reply to add...
    I tried taking the version number out of the title. It looked like there were two spaces in the title "Grammar Games  by Tap to Learn". So I even made sure that matched. I still can't import my codes. Any other things to try would be really appreciated.

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • Is Captivate 4 the right tool for my purposes?

    This posting should not be misunderstood as bad mouthing Captivate 4. For the most part, I really appreciate Adobe products and have invested a significant amount of personal money into many Adobe products over the years.
    My current role involves designing a course curriculum using Adobe Captivate 4 and Adobe Connect Pro. Unfortunately, I am becoming increasingly concerned that I may be using the wrong tool, at least, in regards to developing all parts of a lesson. Perhaps my workflow will improve if I develop the front facing portion of my lessons with Lectora, and use Captivate solely for creating software simulations?
    Because I have already spent a lot of time building my first lessons, and I have a subscription to Adobe Connect Pro, I would rather solve the issues I listed, rather than start over.
    My question is... are my issues based on my lack of knowledge with Captivate 4, or am I experiencing real issues with this product? If it is my lack of knowledge, please tell me how to solve my issues.
    At this point, I would like to give kudos to Rick Stone (known as Captiv8r) for all his help as a hired consultant. I highly recommend his services. Without him, I probably would not have gone as far as I have with Captivate.
    Please correct or comment on the followin…
    Minor annoyances
    -    Too easy to accidentally move objects. Double clicking on a small graphic or a text caption can easily cause it to move or change size slightly. No way to lock their position only (e.g. lock text position but still allow editing).
    -    Text caption boxes mysterious maximize (vertically) from time to time.
    -    Grouping of objects is not possible.
    -    Previewing “From this slide – F8” does not take into account (or initialize) persistent graphics (or otherwise) on the first slide or template; this results in missing objects when doing a quick preview.
    -    Item names/variables are unwieldy. I have a number of graphics which I re-use throughout a lesson. I want to give each of them common names, such as ico_jobaid, img_core_splash, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot use identical names throughout a lesson. Each page requires a unique name for every object. This results in an item name like ico_interactive.png (as it is named in the library), appearing as TImageItem681 and TImageItem680 (copied twice) on a slide.
    This is common for every object and makes it difficult to control objects.
    Major issues
    -    Occasionally I insert a graphics that can’t be made visible.
    -    .cp file size seems to continuously increase in size, despite removing unused resources.
    -    Text bullet issues (ending bullets occasional show up as a larger size)
    -    Roll-over slidlets do not work as intended in AS3 mode. I must preview or publish in AS2.
    -    Recording Software Simulations!
    Captivate 4 allows recording of simulations in up to four modes (Demonstration, Training, Assessment, and Custom). Unfortunately, it appears to record these simulations are separate and distinct recordings. This is a problem because call-outs and other edits must be repeated for each simulation. Other simulation tools record once and can be edited once for passive and/or interactive viewing.
    -    Buttons! Multiple buttons/text captions on a slide.
    If I want to place multiple buttons on a slide, I must follow these steps to make these buttons/captions work properly. This is an unreasonable amount of work in order to use buttons on a single slide.
    Step 1 - Determine the frame value. Note: It seems that if the frame value is not included, the lesson will move to the next slide, after clicking one button. Another caveat is that adding or removing slides may change the correct frame value.
    1. Click Insert from the top menu,
    2. Select Standard Objects,
    3. Select Text Caption,
    4. Click the Insert Variable button,
    5. Select System from the Variable Type pull-down menu,
    6. Select rdinfoCurrentFrame from the Variables pull-down menu.
    7. Position the text caption appropriately on the screen. You may need an appropriate pause inserted in order to see the value.
    8. Click Preview and select Project from the pull-down menu (or Click F4),
    9. Step through slide show to the slide where rdinfoCurrentFrame text variable was inserted and record the displayed value.
    Step 2 – Insert Button control
    1. Click Insert from the top menu,
    2. Select Standard Objects,
    3. Select Button,
    4. Choose appropriate button and button options (skipping steps),
    5. Click Ok,
    6. Position button appropriately.
    Step 3 – Setting up advanced actions.
    1. Click Project from top menu,
    2. Select Actions,
    3. Click the Advanced Actions tab,
    4. Click the Edit / Create Action Pull down menu and select Create a New Action…,
    5. In the new action name: text box, type action name (i.e. but_core_console),
    6. Double click twice on Add Statement (sometimes it doesn’t behave as it should),
        – this feature seems error prone.
    7. Double click twice on Statement (in red),
    8. Select Standard Action from pull-down list,
    9. Select Show from pull-down list,
    10. Select object name (text caption) you wish to show,
    11. Repeat (if necessary),
    12. Select hide and the element name you wish to hide and repeat as necessary,
    13. Double click twice on Add Statement (sometimes it doesn’t behave as it should)
    – this feature seems error prone.
    14. Double click twice on Statement (in red),
    15. As the last step, select Assignment from pull down list,
    16. Select rdcmndGotoFrame from pull down list,
    17. Select Value from pull-down list,
    18. Enter the frame value (as determined Step 1),
    19. Click Save.
    For the next buttons,
    1. Click the Duplicate button,
    2. Edit the New action name: name appropriately,
    3. Edit the information in the Advanced actions for the this action. (skipping steps)
    4. Click Save.
    Repeat as necessary!
    Configuring buttons
    1. Double click on first button,
    2. In the section, “If the user clicks on the button”,
        click on “On success” pull-down menu and select, “Execute advanced action”.
    3. Click the Action pull-down menu and select the appropriate named action.
    Repeat as necessary.
    -    Building buttons for several slides will create a large number of advance actions. Even though these advanced actions are only applicable to a single slide, they are viewable from any slide in a lesson. The number of actions (or advanced actions) quickly adds up in a complex lesson.
    -    Cannot find a way to edit the default look (object positioning/object sizes) of a quiz. The only attribute that seems changeable is the font size.
    Lock ups and crashes
    -    Double clicking on a .cp file will often result in Captivate freezing at the start up screen.
    -    Captivate crashes and sometimes predictably, especially where animations are inserted.

    The only one that can answer that question is yourself ;o)
    I wrote my comments and suggestions with red text here. My company uses Captivate to develop courses and so far we have been very happy with Captivate. Earlier we used Flash to develop courses, but the development time was very long so Captivate has allowed us to speed up the development process with 2-300%. We still use Flash quite a lot to build interactions etc. and import these into Captivate to add extra features.
    We did look at a variety of tools when we wanted to find an alternative to Flash but at that time (we started with Captivate 2) we found that the best option was indeed Captivate. I regularly check up on competing products and there are some interesting alternatives available now but they are not as advanced as Captivate imho.
    When that is said. Captivate is (and has always been) full of weird bugs and things that aren't working properly. This is extremely annoying but we have learned to work our way around most of them. It also seems that the stability of Captivate varies greatly from installation to installation. We are 8 people in my department all working with Captivate. Our computers are all the same and the OS is a corporate standard. Despite this some people here have some weird problems with Captivate that I never experience. I can't explain why it happens (and neither can they) but it could be the installation or it could be the way people work. An example is "missing/corrupt" Captivate files. We have always been working directly on a network drive. This is something that is often recommended against doing because it can cause corrupt Captivate files. The interesting thing is that I have never once experienced a corrupt Captivate file even though i have opened, worked on and saved many thousands of them from/to our network drive. One of my colleagues had around 20 occurences of corrupt Captivate files in the same timespan and from the same network drive.
    The biggest problem in Captivate is the quiz module in my opinion. The quiz module is probably the most important when we talk about E-learning development tools and that is where Captivate is the weakest. You can't really customize your quizzes, there isn't enough different question types and interaction types, you can't use video but worst of all - it is unstable and buggy. Users can get stuck in a quiz without being able to move forward or backwars, the review quiz is buggy etc.
    One thing I often see with Captivate developers is that they try and do everything in Captivate. While most things are possible to do in Captivate then it might no be the best solution. Some things can be created in Flash and imported into Captivate saving you tons of time and grief and in the end give you a much better end-product. I know that everyone doesn't have access to a Flash programmer, but then you can buy your way out of the problem.
    If you are looking for a tool where you can have full control of everything in your courses then the only real solution is Adobe Flash. This will allow you to build the courses exactly as you please but it comes at a big price. It gets way more complex to create courses, which results in longer development times and updating your existing course becomes much more difficult and time consuming.
    Minor annoyances
    -    Too easy to accidentally move objects. Double clicking on a small graphic or a text caption can easily cause it to move or change size slightly. No way to lock their position only (e.g. lock text position but still allow editing).
    Doesn't really bother me but I guess it's different from person to person. You could just click on the object in the timeline instead to avoid moving the object.
    -    Text caption boxes mysterious maximize (vertically) from time to time.
    I never experienced that.
    -    Grouping of objects is not possible.
    I agree that this could be handy on slides with many objects.
    -    Previewing “From this slide – F8” does not take into account (or initialize) persistent graphics (or otherwise) on the first slide or template; this results in missing objects when doing a quick preview.
    Yes but if Captivate was to take into account everything that happened earlier than previewing from this slide you might as well click preview project (F4).
    -    Item names/variables are unwieldy. I have a number of graphics which I re-use throughout a lesson. I want to give each of them common names, such as ico_jobaid, img_core_splash, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot use identical names throughout a lesson. Each page requires a unique name for every object. This results in an item name like ico_interactive.png (as it is named in the library), appearing as TImageItem681 and TImageItem680 (copied twice) on a slide.
    I think this is the same in any application.. The whole idea of naming objects is that they have a unique name to be identified and manipulate later. I do however agree that the default naming in Captivate sucks. If the resource is named ico_interactive.png in the library, then Captivate should name it slide1_ico_interactive.png as the object name. It would make it easier and quicker to identify the correct resources.
    Major issues
    -    Occasionally I insert a graphics that can’t be made visible.
    I never experienced that with properly configured graphics. Sure you can have problems if you insert a CMYK image or a 300 dpi image, but if you use RGB 72dpi images then it works fine. (at least it always have for me).
    -    .cp file size seems to continuously increase in size, despite removing unused resources.
    True but I never really experienced this as a problem. In Captivate 3 it could really get out of hand, but in CP4 it's much better. Alternatively create a blank Captivate file with the same dimensions and copy/paste your slides into that. (Don't know how it will behave with all your advanced actions though).
    -    Text bullet issues (ending bullets occasional show up as a larger size)
    It is because you have a different font size on the last line of the caption. Just do a CTRL-A to select all the text and select the proper font size. Alternatively adjust the default font and size to what you want in Captivate to avoid this in the future.
    -    Roll-over slidlets do not work as intended in AS3 mode. I must preview or publish in AS2.
    Didn't know that - you should probably report it as a bug if you haven't done so already.
    -    Recording Software Simulations!
    Captivate 4 allows recording of simulations in up to four modes (Demonstration, Training, Assessment, and Custom). Unfortunately, it appears to record these simulations are separate and distinct recordings. This is a problem because call-outs and other edits must be repeated for each simulation. Other simulation tools record once and can be edited once for passive and/or interactive viewing.
    Agree - this is rather annoying.
    -    Buttons! Multiple buttons/text captions on a slide.
    From what I understand you have a whole bunch of buttons on a slide and then when the user clicks on one it shows some text / image? If that is the case then yes it will be a tedious process to build all this. I don't know if it would be easy in any other applications though (surely most of the other Rapid E-learning tools won't even be able to do it). Perhaps it would be better to rethink the way you build the course. Can't you use rollover captions / images instead?
    Another alternative is to build these "interactions" in Flash and then import them into Captivate. Basically you would need to build a couple of different templates where you would be able to reuse the Flash framework and only change images/text in Flash and then importo it into Captivate.
    -    Cannot find a way to edit the default look (object positioning/object sizes) of a quiz. The only attribute that seems changeable is the font size.
    This is a major handicap in Captivate and one of the reasons why we don't use Captivate quizzes in our courses. We build all our course in Captivate (and add Flash and other interactions) but we always use a Flash Quiz. The Captivate quiz is simply too ugly and unstable. We deploy courses to 35.000 people worldwide so stability is our number one priority and sadly Captivate quizzes don't offer that at this point.
    Lock ups and crashes
    -    Double clicking on a .cp file will often result in Captivate freezing at the start up screen.
    I never had that problem. I use Win XP, Vista 64-bit and Win7 64-bit.
    -    Captivate crashes and sometimes predictably, especially where animations are inserted.
    I am using both a Windows 7 64 bit and a Windows Vista 32 bit OS. I have tried the following options with seemingly no difference: RUN AS Admin, XP Compatibility mode
    My regular development PC runs Windows XP Pro. I never have any problems here. On Vista 64-bit I have a ton of problems, but Captivate didn't crash or lock up - it simply didn't perform the actions I wanted it to do. So far on Windows 7 I haven't encountered any crashes or problems. However there is no doubt that Captivate 4 was designed with Win XP in mind and Vista and Win7 are not native platforms for it.

  • Is BAdI the right tool for us?

    Hello,
    we are building a custom component which generates postings that are later dispatched to FI.
    The component's customizing defines Posting Activities in different variants/versions that create those postings.
    Every Posting-Activity-Variant is implemented by a dedicated class, all implementing a common Posting-Activity interface.
    Usually I would use the BAdI-technique to register the classes for each Posting-Activity-Variant using BAdI-Filters.
    However, in this case I have a certain aversion to BAdI-usage:
    100s Posting-Activity-Variants, means 100s BAdI-Implementations and Filter-Definitions
    *additionally* to the customizing of all these Posting-Activity-Variants
    There is customizing for every Posting-Activity-Variant, it is very tempting to add a classname-column and be done with it.
    The customizing would be concise & understandable, I don't have to deep-dive into SE80/SE19 to check registered BAdI-classes and their filter-values to guess which BAdI would be called. I immediately see if the Posting-Activity-Variant is bound to an implementing class.
    We use OO extensively and defined interfaces irrespective of any BAdI-usage, so we don't really benefit from the BAdI's OO-approach.
    Furthermore we would actually hide the BAdI-mechanism since BAdI-references are not normal pass-around OO-references.
    So from a design perspective it doesn't matter if we use BAdI or customizing, it's hidden in some Factory anyways.
    We lose the static-registration and where-used functionality of BAdI-classes,
    but I think that would be a price I am willing to pay to get a manageable & concise customizing.
    We would work-around that with a dedicated report that lists all used classes etc.
    If using an old-school classname-column in the customizing, we would build a report that checks that customizing for sanity and checks the classes for the presence of certain interfaces/constructors/etc. Things which would otherwise be statically handled by the BAdI itself of course..
    So what do you think, would you really *always* use the BAdI-technique to register classes?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi Kai,
    First: thank you Custodio de Oliveira for noticing this high-quality question.
    Kai: To be honest, I think you've answered your own question already. Not that there's something wrong in checking your reasoning with the community (on the contrary: we're all likely to learn something from it).
    But I can imagine this not being a forum question but a blog post describing the case and the design decision made. That would make an excellent blog post, from which (again) many people would learn something. It's the kind of content that's IMHO underrepresented on SCN at the moment.
    So, instead of answering (which really isn't necessary: as Custodio already said, whatever you go with, I'm sure you'll be fine), I'd like you to rewrite this into a blog post. Let the community chime in using the comments and see what comes out of it.
    For the record, I'd go with BAdi's. I don't think it's much extra work (implementing a class might be, but defining a BAdi implementation using a filter surely isn't), and you stay in the code realm, instead of breaking out of it (I always find that using class/function module columns in customizing makes it hard to understand the big application picture).
    But I'm surely interested in what other developers have to say. And that's another advantage of the blog format: more people will likely notice it.
    So: please give it a go! (Only if you're comfortable with it of course)
    Thanks, Fred

  • Is this the wrong tool for the job?

    Hello -
    I am trying to create a pdf slideshow, to demonstrate what screenshots of a web-application will look like.
    I'm confused how to handle the page sizes, since, while a screenshot may indeed be comparable to a landscape piece of paper, a web page may have a more vertical, portrait look because of the scrolling.
    Do I make all the pages portrait, let's say legal size?
    And only use the portion of the paper that I need?
    but that would look totally weird during my pdf presentation.....
    OR.... do I create individual Indesign Documents, setting the size as necessary for the content.
    Convert them to jpgs, and then simply insert them as images into my slideshow????
    sorry if I'm not being clear
    appreciate any guidance
    Marion

    hi folks
    Yes, I think I am mocking up.
    I think part of my problem is that I'm doing 2 different things at once:
    1.  creating mock-ups to save as jpgs, to insert as images at a website - either the full thing (shrunk down) or a cropped portion of it
    The website is demonstrating what a possible web application would look like and do
    2.  creating a pdf slideshow presentation, to show people in person, more detail of what the application would look like and feel like.
    Based on both of your responses, I think I'm best served by creating separate documents, and creating a book.
    So the question is:
    can I stay working in inches, since that's more comfortable for me?
    or am I better served to do the learning curve, and work with 1024x768?
    thanks!
