The future is in the post, and inside your organization

Special Guest Post by Jeff Sibio, Intermec's Industry Marketing Director, T&L.
At this year’s Post Expo conference in Vienna, some of the leading figures from across the industry came together to share their perspectives on what shape the post is now in.
For the conference, I was invited to submit a chapter to the book ‘Reinventing the Post’ –which discusses the possible futures for postal organisations worldwide.
Read on for more.

Todd,
First of all check that link, because it gave me a 404 error.
I found his video's on these matters and I think he made valid points. If I were to summarize all his info in a few short sentences, it would look like this:
MAC users prefer remaining MAC users if the technology keeps up. (Same goes for PC users BTW).
There is a lot of doubt about the future of MAC Pro. If there is a new version with the latest technology (Ivy Bridge), great. If not,...
There will be a lot of migrants to the PC platform, because of the better choices one has to configure a system, but potentially with more compatibility choices.
The implicit assumption is that potential migrants are about as computer savvy as MAC users, and only know how to attach a power cord. In a MAC world that was about all that was required, but that does not apply to the PC world, hence his comparison with the HP Z800 is not really valid.
His remarks about the cost and performance of Thunderbolt components are very real.
MBP and iMAC are not feasible substitutes for a MAC Pro.
Interesting to see and his views reflect my perception as indicated in a recent post I made (Adobe Forums: Ten Commandments for Editors).

  • Deny meeting request before sending the request if for example the time frame is to far in the future or if the atendee has no permission for the ressource.

    Hi @ all,
    I've got a question regarding a migration scenario from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 / 2013.
    In 2003 a pop up appears in general before sending the request if a meeting request is for example too far in the future or if the atendee has no permission for the ressource. 
    In a few tests we did the request is sent to all the participants and afterwards the room sends the cancellation email. This is very annyoing because in 2003 the request was not sent thereby giving one the possibility to change the meeting with the correct
    ressource. 
    Is it possible to generate this pop up in 2010 / 2013 hindering you to send a meeting request until you get it right as it is in 2003?
    Thanks in advance and regards from Germany
    Rene

  • 7016 - The Health Service cannot verify the future validity of the RunAs account

    Hi,
    We have several gateways set up on our other domains (DMZ, Test and Dev) using certificates to connect to the RMS with a few agents reporting to the gateway in it's domain. I am recieving this warning for all gateways and agents that are being monitored (in the other domains).  All our servers are either Win 2003 32bit or Win 2003 64bit.
    The Health Service cannot verify the future validity of the RunAs account PRODUCTION\username for management group PRODMGMT due to an error retrieving information from Active Directory (for Domain Accounts) or the local security authority (for Local Accounts). The error is The network path was not found.(0x80070035).
    From the searching that I've done on the net, a couple of people have mentioned that if you set the password expiration flag on AD users and computers for the account the problem will go away.. This hasn't happened for me.
    I have checked the logs on the gateway servers and they report the following messages:

    Despite the successful logs that appear the gateway still shows up with the same warning.
    If i stop and start the service on the gateway it then shows up as healthy in SCOM, but then the next day it the warning comes back.
    Is the problem caused by different domain acounts and when it tries to find it in the domain it can't find it?
    Cheers, 
    Phil

    I also have the same problem with my scom 2012 system.
    I am getting 7021 and 7016 events.
    as mentioned by Jonathan, i am able to open notepad with the user account for which we are getting error.
    another thing noted, when we run setspn -l domain\acc , we are getting error 
    Ldap Error(0x51 -- Server Down): ldap_open
    or
    FindDomainForAccount: Call to DsGetDcNameWithAccountW failed with return value 0x00000525
    Could not find account DOMAIN/account
    Another point to add, my server is ABC.XXX.company.com and acc i am using us YYY\acc_name. I mean to say my account is of diff domain.
    This config is working fine no issues at all in another server which was setup earlier with 2007 r2.
    Manish
    I recently had the same issue in our Forest. Did you try YYY.company.com\acc_name? If you use the netbios name, setspn (and scom does on account validation as well, if you just pick the domainname from the list) will try to resolve the dc via netbios. Two
    alternatives: add the other domain to the dns searchlist for your network adapter (I won't do this one, this does not resolve the cause of the problem) or configure your action accounts with fqdn [email protected] The funny thing is, in scom event
    you will see scom validated account "\[email protected]" (still add's the backslash)
    Correction: this did not solve the issue as mentioned before, the error reappeared again... :(

  • How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

    I'm totally new to iphone/ipod.  I need help with the following:
    1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes?  After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option.  Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
    2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution.  But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
    I only want to share music between our devices.  I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
    Thank you!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

  • How can you reinstall SL on a older mini, I just upgraded to Lion .Since I downloaded it, I made a disk copy for the future  when all the kinks are work out. But would really like to go back to SL for now. I tried my reinstall disk, which didn't work.

    I have an older Mac mini  using SL as my last upgrade and really like it.. Just last week I upgraded to Lion, and do not like it,,,I would like to reinstall SL but do not know how to go about it,,,I did burn a copy of Lion and will reinstall it when all the kinks are worked out..Can someone tell me how uninstall Lion and reinstall SL.....Thx

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • What happened to the Getting Close New Year post and why?

    Is someone going to tell us why this post was deleted? Or is it just my system?
    Getting close.
    Then we will know.

    Thanks for everyone's comments.
    What is also funny is I was sure this post was also deleted after I posted it as I could not see it. I figured I was being blocked or kicked off the forum. But then this msg shows up 10 hours later when Monkey first replied, and I could post later when I
    tried. Go figure.
    But the forum itself was being goofy at the time, as it has been lately.
    I just thought I must have broken a rule by putting (c) 2015 Sandia Software in the code I posted as thats what Razerz and I had posted about just before the entire thread disappeared. So I was hoping the deletor would tell us. If that is a no no then we
    should discuss it.
    On that topic, I think the latest is that when you post on a public board, you have the copyright from that moment whether you claim it or not. There was a case about it. I am going from memory. And am not a lawyer. But I do know something about it and I
    slept in a hotel with a lawyer one time (not the same room Monkey). I started putting (c) in somethings as I thought it might help some people realize they cant turn it in for homework or a PHD. The copyright case came up when someone somewhere posted a quite
    good something and then someone else started posted it claiming it was theirs. So the OP sued and won. As I recall. I could be wrong.
    However it appears the (c) had nothing to do with it.
    Its like what Crazy mentions, we do put a lot of time on here, often just to get a "thats not what I wanted" answer.
    I know I have clicked on "helpful" before when I did not mean to so who knows.
    Its no big thing to me personally. I just post these things for fun and to show off and if someone does get some value then good. I learned the important bits of code I posted from this forum.
    So I am moving on unless someone is really wanting to see the code again (I emailed it to Monkey).
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • I tried opening a pdf file and I set it to use always and firefox which did not work, I was wondering how to undo that and what I should use to open pdf files in the future?

    I was attempting to open a document from a frequently used site, I had never been on, on my new mac however. I attempted to open the pdf file and was given the option of which program to use to open it, I mistakenly clicked use always and firefox as the program with which to open pdf files. I do not know how to undo this or what I should do in the future to access the pdf files.

    Hi Melfour-

  • Are web/cloud-based dev and apps dist the future for LV?

    The direction of software companies such as Microsoft and Adobe is that they are no longer distributing media for standalone PCs.  (we all know that if we didn't need to dist the hefty LV RTE life would be a bit easier)
    You no longer purchase specific versions of their software instead you subcribe and login to have access to the latest versions from any location.
    Examples are Office 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud.  Presumably the subscription arrangement for them is more profitable.
    Will this (a) be the future for LV development environment; and (b) will this make it possible for developers to adopt similar strategies for distributing their own apps?
    Currently is this something that the webservices features of LV can deal with to some degree?  I understand this is limited to a small number of concurrent users at a time?  I also understand that web-based are not exactly the same as cloud-based applications.
    Is this something NI is not moving toward since LV has traditionally been tied to fixed hardware (i.e. data acquisition) applications?
    Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions..

    I can't speak for NI's future plans.  But I don't think a move like this would benefit much of the LabVIEW community.  I'm sure there are some that would fine a clound or web based distribution system convinient but for me many of the system I install LabVIEW, TestStand, DAQmx, XNET, and many other NI tools are offline perminently.  These computers don't get future Windows updates, or NI updates unless I make an effort to put them on the network, or bring over DVDs and external drives with updates on them.
    So as for distributing NI applications I don't think this is a good move.  They already have a subscription based approach with things like the VLA, Enterprise solutions, and SSP.  Having the user go NI.com and download the tools you want has worked, and moving to a cloud application won't really work because NI users are quite diverse.  Office 365 works because if you use office, you use the same office.  But with LabVIEW there are so many 3rd party tools and libraries that the LabVIEW you use can be very different from the one I use.
    As for distributing your own built applications I think this would be neat, but again not right for me.
