Two primary sites in the same AD site

Can I have two separate Primary sites in a single AD?  I've done it in the past in a lab, but never in production.  How do clients lookup services in AD?  Should I set command switches on the client install to force the clients to the correct
site?  Any best practices in this area?

It should work. Just make sure to use different site code, no overlapping boundaries and discoveries.
For client installation point the to the right site code.
I'm not sure if it's supported by Microsoft.

  • Is more than one Central Site in the same AD site supported?

    Working with a customer here, and they will be hosting 250,000 accounts for Lync 2013, and I know that a Central Site can only host 240,000 accounts. Knowing this limitation, can more than one Central Site be located within the same data center? I would
    think that separate subnets (AD Sites) are all that is required.
    Is it this simple?
    Thanks,

    I haven't looked at the limits of a site, because I've never had to go that high.  Can you reference where you found that information?  Is that an actual limitation or just a limit of the capacity planner? 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205120.aspx
    I couldn't find reference to it in the user models which is why I ask if you have more information:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615015.aspx
    I'm not challenging it, I'm just unaware of it.  What modalities and roles would you be supporting? 
    And you could split the pools into different sites if needed, that should get you around the limit if it exists.

  • Creating Two Different Designs for the same site

    I already have a website (www.ernestbuckley) but would like to design an alternate site with the same name and from time to time, just switch between the two for variety. Can this be done? Will I lose any data when I switch back and forth?

    Apnewbie's suggestion is right on track! You already have your domain name ( http://www.ernestbuckley.com ) that you forward to:
    http://web.mac.com/ernestbuckley/iWeb/ernestbuckley/Welcome.html
    If you made another parallel site with the different design and called it "ernest2", all you would have to do is to switch your forwarding to:
    http://web.mac.com/ernestbuckley/iWeb/ernest2/
    You can continue to edit both sites and when you want to switch sites, just change your forwarding again to the other address.
    BTW, if you want to start another site, you might consider using a program called "iWebSites" to help you manage your sites in separate Domain files. That way you keep them completely separate from one another and maintain the ability to edit and publish them independently of one another. Here is the URL for more info...

  • Two CAS Servers on the same domain but different AD Sites

    I have a customer that has 1 EXCH MB server & 1 EXCH server running the Hub Transport and Client Access roles. These two servers are in the same domain and reside in AD site A. Now he wants AD Site B (also in the same domain) to have 1 EXCH MB server
    & 1 EXCH server running the HUB/CAS role. The problem is the CAS role in site A is the only one that is public interfacing. The CAS server in site B has not certificates at all, and I want all the mail to re-route to the CAS server in Site A. Does anyone
    know how I can do that???

    The CAS in the internet facing site will proxy to the CAS in the non-internet facing site. And you do have a cert on that CAS in Site B. The default built-in one. However, if you have clients in Site B, you should replace that built-in cert with one that
    is trusted by clients such as Outlook and Lync etc...It doesnt have to be a 3rd party cert, it could be on that is trusted internally.

  • How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

    How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

  • Keeping multiple domain.sites on the same computer

    Based on reading the help info, it seemed that if I had several domain.sites in DIFFERENT folders, I could open them separately and thus keep several different sites on the same computer (which I want to do to keep my student's work). However this doesn't seem to work. Even if I rename the "main site" (in application support) something else, like domainX.site, the copy domain.site which I have on my desktop (or in another folder) remains in sync. It doesn't matter which I change, they both remain the same. So I do not see how I can do what I need to do . . . any suggetions? I am using iweb 06

    Select the domain file hit command(Apple)+d
    The two domain files (domain.sites and domain copy.sites) are completely independent from each other.
    To edit one of the two simply double click it.
    If you duplicated the domain files (command(apple+d)) changes to one will not apply to the other.

  • Safari (3.0.4) on Mac OS 10.4.11 has started quitting when viewing news and weather sites - not all sites, not the same sites every time.

    Safari (3.0.4) on Mac OS 10.4.11 has started quitting when viewing news and weather sites - not all sites, not the same sites every day. Help?

    Hi Gary...
    I see you are running v10.4.11 and you have updated Safari but make certain all the system software is up to date by clicking your Apple menu / Software Update.
    If everything is up to date, try resetting Safari from the menu bar.
    Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try several of the sites you mentioned.
    has started quitting
    If resetting didn't help, post a crash report.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

  • How do I disable "this connection is untrusted" I visit the same web site mutiple times in a day visit I get this same error, these are trusted sites within my work

    How do I disable "this connection is untrusted" I visit the same web site mutiple times in a day and every visit I get this same dam error, these are trusted sites within my work environment. This is getting really old, and I am thinking that I should just uninstall, which is a pity becuase I do like firefox

    Okay, before you copy 'n paste canned responses, you should read the post first.
    '''The date & time on my computer is correct''' I've already checked this.
    '''I don't give a damn why the site is untrusted''', I probably know why in fact (behind corporate proxy server).
    As for exporting a known good certificate from another browser, sure good idea, but it doesn't seem to work. I tried exporting from IE, Firefox did the import without complaint, but it still complains. At any rate, I don't care about that. '''I just want to permanent disable it for ALL SITES for ALL TIME'''. Is that too much to ask for?
    Judging by the number of posts on this topic, apparently I am not the only one complaining about this.

  • Moving a site collection to be a sub site of the same site collection

    Currently I have a publishing site collection of type enterprise wiki, that stores wikis for our HR department. And I added all the current wiki pages to it. But in the future we might need to create another sites for different departments suh as; finance,
    technical, etc.
    So I might need to have the departments represented as subsites of the same site collection.and in this situation I will need to move the current HR site collection to be a sub site of the current site collection. I know that I can move a site collection
    to be a sub site by doing:-
    Export the Site Collection
    Create the New Subsite
    Import the Exported Site Collection
    Delete the Old Site Collection
    But I have the following questions:-
    Is it possible to move a site collection to be a sub site of the same site collection in SP2013, baring in mind that i am using a publishing site. and on this link it is mentioned that it is not possible in SP2010 http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2009/05/27/limitations-of-stsadm-o-export-import-related-to-publishing-sites.aspx?
    Can I continue with my current approach of having my HR wiki inside the site collection (not as a sub site). And in the future if I need to have the departments as sub sites , I can move the current site collection to be a sub site ?
    Currently I have created new page layouts for the current site collection, so will moving my site collection to be a sub site moves the page layouts using the export/import approach ?
    What are the things I will lose when I move a site collection to be a subsite , in respect to data, page layouts, web parts, etc.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Regards

    It is not possible to export the site collection to a sub site irrespective of what  type of site template you are using. You can only export a sub site and import it to a sub site not site collection to a sub site. If you import a publishing site,
    the pages do not have the correct link to the page layout. The the page is hard-coded to the page layout from the original site. You can use the powershell specified in the below link to fix them

  • Is it possible to delete an Effect sitting on the same effect plugin c++ code?

    Hello,
    Let me explain My problem.
    I have developing an Effect plugin, "MyEffect" .
    This effect has one UI + defualt "About" and "Reset" buttons + one "Remove " ( Which is a "Options..." ) button.
    The "Remove" button functionality is: When I click on "Remove" button, the "MyEffect" effect should remove from the Layer/Composion.
    The plugin EntryPoint function is called with a command "PF_Cmd_DO_DIALOG" clicking on "Remove" button. Here I want to remove this "MyEffect" effect from Layer/Comp.
    So, My question is, Is it possible to delete/remove an effect sitting on the same effect plugin c++ code?
    Hope, you understand the problem!.

    Hi Shachar,
    Thanks for your reply!
    >>     that separate AEGP of ours?
    Not getting the above line in your prevoius msg.
    Actually My question is, "Is it possible to delete an Effect sitting on the same effect plugin c++ code?", wrong.
    What exactly I want is...
    I'm developing an effect plugin, that execute 2 scripts.
    -     one script is for applying an effect ( we are discussing this issue in onother thraed, you already knew it. )     and
    -     other script is for removing an effect
    When I click on "Remove" button, the second script should executes and it removes the applied effect from the Layer/Comp.
    I'm just guessing that, 3 plugins are required to solve this problem.
    Plugin1:  Create UI + call plugin2 + call plugin3
    Plugin2:  Execute the script1 ( i.e., apply the effect )
    Plugin3:  Execute the script2 ( i.e., remove the effect )
    am I correct?

  • Another site already exists at . Delete this site before attempting to create a new site with the same URL

    Hi Everyone,
    It would be great if you can help me with the below.
    Few days ago one of our content db went into suspect mode.  Our DB team had resolved the issue. But one of the sites that was created probably around the same time is no more available. When I try to create a site on the same URL, I get the following
    error.
    Another site already exists at <URL>. Delete this site before attempting to create a new site with the same URL
    When I try to delete the site or if I try to view the details of the site using Central Administration, I can find the site, but it doesn't display any details like Title, DB Name etc.
    If I use stsad -o enumsites command to list ll the site, for the given site I get the following error:
    <nativehr>0x80070002</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>There is no Web named <URL>.
    I am not even able to delete it using Powershell.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Uttkarsh

  • Why does my keychain keep asking for my password every time I access the same web site?

    The ClamXav scan found 4 virus/trojan problems and quarantined them. Before I did thid, my keychain keeps popping up asking me if I want to save my password everytime I visit the same web site(s). Is there an issue with this? And how to I fix it?

    What were the infection names associated with those four files and where we're they found. That information is in your Scan Log if you didn't record them yourself. Search for the word "FOUND" in upper case.
    The keychain activity sounds normal as long as your browser preferences are set to save that information for AutoFill the next time you visit the site.

  • Newtab question: How do I ''input'' the nine (yes 3X3) boxes to be my specific permanent sites exactly the same each time I hit the newtab+?

    Newtab question: How do I ''input'' the nine (yes 3X3) boxes to be my specific permanent sites exactly the same each time I hit the newtab+? I know that I can hit the 'save' button but I want it to be MY selection before the save. Evert time I hit the newtab it seems to use my history to keep moving them up the line.
    I have used google.com/ig as my home for years. In November the sites that are my personal choices will be gone as Google has decided to eliminate "IG"!
    For example the NYTimes (with about 5-6 daily lead articles) appear in my upper left of the personalized home site. I would at least like to see that summary. At least with Newtab I can save it.
    Is there a program step in FF that I can achieve my results and put nine sites into it and click them to be permanent as well as being able to edit them in the future?

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page.

  • Logic for DC selection for authentication within the same AD site

    Hello All, I am working on extending AD service from an existing data center to a new data center. As part of co-existence, I have created new DC's in the new data center but kept them as part of the AD site in the existing data center. Both the data centers
    have a 1 GB connectivity.
    What I would like to know is - would there be any internal logic in calculating which DC should a client authenticate against based on network latency or something like that ? I wanted to know if there was any way I can restrict the user workstations at
    the existing data center location (which is also the HQ location) to authenticate against the DC's available locally instead of travelling to the new DC's at the new data center, within the same AD site. I cannot make the new data center a separate AD site
    for now due to the migration challenges.
    Any inputs would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Goldy,
    I will recommend you to create a separate AD site and configure sites and services accordingly, if you dont want clients to authenticate against the new DC.
    DC locator is the service name which is responsible for assigning a logon DC to the client.
    If the DC's are in different sites you can configure the sites and services to point the client to correct DC in a site. AD authentication always distributed based on the sites and services you configured.
    You can configure ldapsrv records to authenticate against specific DC.
