Upgrading to advanced configuration, what happens?

We only have 20 people to manage and nearly the same number of computer, with little fluctuation (ca. 4 people/year and 2 computer/year).
So far it works fine for us by using one server (Mac OS X 10.5.6) in the workgroup configuration, but now all the 'computer stuff' has been deligated by my boss to me.
It takes too much time to configurate every computer one by one (who has access/ updates/ installation of programms/ etc.) and I plan to upgrade to the Advanced configuration. Sounds nice, but I'am not a professional IT person ('boss: You can manage the computers between your experiments').
If I do the upgrade, do I have to configurate every thing once again (file sharing, open directory, print services), or is it nearly as before, but every thing after the upgrade can become much more complicated?

I would most emphatically recommend that you get your boss to sign off on you having no liability nor culpability for any results of work he expects you to do "on the side".
People study and learn for years - and appropriately so ! - in order to accomplish this kind of work effectively and efficiently.
If you are learning and have a non-production environment to work with and potentially wipe & reinstall where need be, then by all means, go for it (start learning).
But otherwise your boss should accept that s/he is getting what they're paying for, and since it is nothing, they should be prepared for that.
It is neither technically nor professionally advisable to foist a task such as this on someone and expect the result(s) to be that of a trained professional in that field. The fundamental concern is the disconnect there, and the unacceptable risk this situation could put you in, either now or in the future.
To the matter at hand, I generally recommend strongly against an upgrade, as compared to a (verified good) backup, wipe and reinstall and configure from the outset as "Advanced."
For computer management, you will want to run your server as an Open Directory Master,
and as such, you must must must have verified working DNS lookup(s) for your server's FQDN, prior to proceeding with re-installing & reconfiguring it.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 4--what happened to the secure site icon at bottom of page?

    I just upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 4. There used to be a secure site icon at bottom right of secure pages. Clicking on the icon opened a window with all security info for that page. Now there is no icon. To get the same info I now have to click on the button in the address bar and then click again on the "more information" button. This is not intuitive and seems like a step backward. Is there a way to bring back the old secure site icon?

    The padlock is no longer a part of Firefox; it can give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site. Familiarize yourself with the '''''Site Identity Button''''' in Firefox:

  • UPgrade to 4? what happened?????

    I just "upgraded" to version 4 of Final Cut Express HD with the "update" of Live Type.
    I swear I am fixing to freak. this is a "downgrade". How in the name of sam hill do I
    get back to the old Live Type? I have lost more than 15 effects in live fonts alone.
    what the **** is going on? in objects, all the old effects are gone. Streaming, Beam, etc.
    can somebody help me please?

    You might try posting in the FCE forum. How long has it been since you ran an update? The only way I know of to remedy this is remove ALL traces of all of your FCE apps, install from scratch from the original disks, and then decide whether or not to run the updates.
    Livetype hasn't been updated for the Final Cut Studio for a long time.

  • Upgraded to windows 10 - what happened to my free hp package softwares

    After upgrading from Windsows 7 to Windows 10, I lost all HP programs and utilities and free softwares that came with my notebook such as Cyberlink, Adobe Photoshop, etc,, How can i retreive them? 

    Hi there 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you upgraded to Windows 10, and that you no longer have your preinstalled applications from HP.  I am happy to help with this. Did you do a back up of your system and did you make a set of recovery media, prior to the upgrade? Please see the following:  HP Notebook PCs - Upgrading to Windows 10 Depending on what you have, you may want to roll back to the previous operating system.

  • Upgraded to Update 1 - What happened to IASRealm?!!?!!

    I refer to this:
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/appserver/reference/techart/as8_authentication/
    I try to deploy my (fully operational on the previous AS8 release) to a server with update 1, and it can't find the following class.
    com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.IASRealm
    Gee. How wonderfull.
    I've checked the classpaths for both appservers, they appear to be identical.
    Did someone break something and not document it. That would be completely unlike any developer I've ever met, and totally unlike anything I've seen come out of Sun in the last year. Riiiiight.

    How did you solve your problem I am having a problem with IASRealm: NoClassDefFoundError. No matter what I do I cannot get this error to go away?

  • What happens when a new cc version is available

    I am currently building a case as to why my employer should more to Adobe CC, however they have a few questions:
    1. When a new version of CC is available is it automatically downloaded and installed, or is there a choice to not upgrade?
    2. What happen when features get dropped in the new CC upgrades? for example TLF text in Flash is not supported in CC, so those working files would not longer be compatible.
    Thanks in advance for your reply

    1. There is a notification for update, and you have a choice to update or not to update.
    2. Usually new major versions are installed as separate apps, so you can get the new version and keep the old one for working with files that may not be compatible with the new version. Or if you need only the new version, you can uninstall the old one. For example when 2014 version Photoshop CC was released and if you chose to update, the update process left the old version installed.

    after upgrading my iphone4 to ios7.04, the 'restore' in itunes seems to be going round in circles resulting in the iphone wanting to continually 'restore' every time. Whats happening here?

    Hello Filbert,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone wanting to continually restore.  I found an article with steps to address the issue you described:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please try to troubleshoot security software issues.

  • UCCX 7.0.1SR5 to 8.0 upgrade while also adding LDAP integration for CUCM - what happens to agents and Historical Reporting data?

    Current State:
    •    I have a customer running CUCM 6.1 and UCCX 7.01SR5.  Currently their CUCM is *NOT* LDAP integrated and using local accounts only.  UCCX is AXL integrated to CUCM as usual and is pulling users from CUCM and using CUCM for login validation for CAD.
    •    The local user accounts in CUCM currently match the naming format in active directory (John Smith in CUCM is jsmith and John Smith is jsmith in AD)
    Goal:
    •    Upgrade software versions and migrate to new hardware for UCCX
    •    LDAP integrate the CUCM users
    Desired Future State and Proposed Upgrade Method
    Using the UCCX Pre Upgrade Tool (PUT), backup the current UCCX 7.01 server. 
    Then during a weekend maintenance window……
    •    Upgrade the CUCM cluster from 6.1 to 8.0 in 2 step process
    •    Integrate the CUCM cluster to corporate active directory (LDAP) - sync the same users that were present before, associate with physical phones, select the same ACD/UCCX line under the users settings as before
    •    Then build UCCX 8.0 server on new hardware and stop at the initial setup stage
    •    Restore the data from the UCCX PUT tool
    •    Continue setup per documentation
    At this point does UCCX see these agents as the same as they were before?
    Is the historical reporting data the same with regards to agent John Smith (local CUCM user) from last week and agent John Smith (LDAP imported CUCM user) from this week ?
    I have the feeling that UCCX will see the agents as different almost as if there is a unique identifier that's used in addition to the simple user name.
    We can simplify this question along these lines
    Starting at the beginning with CUCM 6.1 (local users) and UCCX 7.01.  Let's say the customer decided to LDAP integrate the CUCM users and not upgrade any software. 
    If I follow the same steps with re-associating the users to devices and selecting the ACD/UCCX extension, what happens? 
    I would guess that UCCX would see all the users it knew about get deleted (making them inactive agents) and the see a whole group of new agents get created.
    What would historical reporting show in this case?  A set of old agents and a set of new agents treated differently?
    Has anyone run into this before?
    Is my goal possible while keeping the agent configuration and HR data as it was before?

    I was doing some more research looking at the DB schema for UCCX 8.
    Looking at the Resource table in UCCX, it looks like there is primary key that represents each user.
    My question, is this key replicated from CUCM or created locally when the user is imported into UCCX?
    How does UCCX determine if user account jsmith in CUCM, when it’s a local account, is different than user account jsmith in CUCM that is LDAP imported?
    Would it be possible (with TAC's help most likely) to edit this field back to the previous values so that AQM and historical reporting would think the user accounts are the same?
    Database table name: Resource
    The Unified CCX system creates a new record in the Resource table when the Unified CCX system retrieves agent information from the Unified CM.
    A Resource record contains information about the resource (agent). One such record exists for each active and inactive resource. When a resource is deleted, the old record is flagged as inactive; when a resource is updated, a new record is created and the old one is flagged as inactive.

    I would most emphatically recommend that you get your boss to sign off on you having no liability nor culpability for any results of work he expects you to do "on the side".
    People study and learn for years - and appropriately so ! - in order to accomplish this kind of work effectively and efficiently.
    If you are learning and have a non-production environment to work with and potentially wipe & reinstall where need be, then by all means, go for it (start learning).
    But otherwise your boss should accept that s/he is getting what they're paying for, and since it is nothing, they should be prepared for that.
    It is neither technically nor professionally advisable to foist a task such as this on someone and expect the result(s) to be that of a trained professional in that field. The fundamental concern is the disconnect there, and the unacceptable risk this situation could put you in, either now or in the future.

  • What happens after 20 months of EDGE if no upgrade?

    What happens after 20 months of EDGE? Does the service discount remain if you don't upgrade to a new phone? Or does the service price increase even though you don't have an EDGE payment to end up the same amount anyway?

    mrhelper: What else do you know about he month2month discount? I'm currently on a similar edge program but with 2 lines. I still have about 16 more payments left on the edge phones, but I have no intention of upgrading or do another Edge program afterwards. I believe the Verizon Reps told me that I would indeed keep my $25 discount off the access lines when I originally signed up for it, but if that's not the case, where did you hear about that month2month program and what are the details of it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • When we do a failover to a Replica, what happened to the connected clients? Assuming that the Replica is located in a remote DR site with a different IP configuration.

    When we do a failover to a Replica, what happened to the connected clients? Assuming that the Replica is located in a remote DR site with a different IP configuration.
    Hi,
    I need some guidance here, please.
    I have some questions about replication:
    When we do a failover to a Replica, what happened to the connected clients? Assuming that the Replica is located in a remote DR site with a different IP configuration.
    Is possible to automate the failover process? Just like happens in a cluster.
    What changes do I need to do in order to guarantee that my clients reach my replica? For example, I need to do a failover to my Exchange Server Replica and I need to minimize the downtime. The same applies for a DC or a SharePoint Server
      Thanks in advanced.

    Hi efebo,
    “The same applies for a DC ”
    As for replicating virtualized DC (Personally,  I do not suggest to replicate DC , even though it can be replicate ), please refer to following link:

    not support the Hyper-V Replica feature.  Exchange has a long history of supporting virtualisation from
    Exchange 2003 onwards.  It is fully supported to install Exchange
    2007,

    Based on my knowledge  you can not access replica site VM  directly after a disaster , maybe you need to rebuild primary site and replicate VM back .
