WAAS prepositioning before moving a server

I have a server out on a remote site with a WAFS edge enabled WAE NM in that remote router. I also have a WAFS core endabled WAE in the network core. I would like to preposition files to the edge WAE before I move the server into the core if possible. When I run the preposition jobs it looks like the edge WAE detects a possible network loop and the preposition task fails after about 30 minutes. Either way it looks like the file (probably compressed and optimised via DRE) is copied over the WAN anyway. Is there an easy and efficient way to preposition files from a server to a WAE in that same site before you shift the server to the network core?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Zach,
The NMEs are NME-WAE-502-K9 having a gig of memory. I believe this means they can't be a WAFS core (if that is what you were getting at). The log I am looking at is the WAFS Edge log in the web gui for the WAE. The log entries are similar to this:

Thinking of upgrading to SL,But i have some Question before moving to SL

I will be glad if anybody can help me with my questions before moving to Sl.first,i like to know,after upgrading or fresh install,do i need to reinstall another windows xp on the machine,cos i use VMware Fusion?
Secondly,What option is the best,Upgrade or Fresh install?
Can i make backup using an external usb2 drive? and what can i do so my old setting remain after installing SL.Setting like my Chat history,and will my applications use the same lience key?
Anybody with usefull advice?
What important it the history of chat i had on my pc.i work for a company as a mid man and this history help me to remember last diccussion with client..

In your place, I would move to SL if, and only if, I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal on it. I think that there is enough risk in going to SL that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine alone for backup/restoring when moving to an OS upgrade or doing a point update. This app can be problematic and, consequently, its solo use is too risky for me in these cases. You will be able to extract your settings, files, and programs from your clone if you do an erase and install. You can erase and install or upgrade with any SL disk except the gray ones that come with specific machines. I still prefer to erase and install.
To erase and install (see upgrade option below), start up to your DVD and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and erase your drive. Quit Disk Utility and proceed with your installation. At the end, you will be able to choose to reclaim your settings, files, and apps from the clone (plug in the external at the point of the last install restart).
If you do not like SL, then you can restore your internal using the clone. I would do all cloning and related restoration with SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, or some other up-to-date cloning app, including Disk Utility. Your clone also will serve as an independent backup for your data.
Upgrading is a very sound process on a Mac. Still, I also would insist on having a bootable clone on an external before upgrading. An upgrade is performed by installing over your existing installation from the desktop or having started from your SL DVD. All your programs, data, and settings will be present after an upgrade, but incompatible programs will be archived.

What I wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install

The truth is that I am on my FIFTH Lion Server install on the same box this week. While I was working on #4, I went ahead and submitted a ticket with Apple and arranged a timeslot for this morning to work with them to help me past my struggles with Lion Server. This post is the result of that experience. Big props to Apple support techs Chuck and Don - you know who you are!
What I Wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install
1. Do NOT migrate user accounts, apps, and files, until AFTER you have the Server set up and working correctly.
- This one tip, which is brilliantly simple, would have saved me four very long days of head bashing.
2. Server Admin Tools are mandatory.
- The first time around I used the Server App to configure the system (after an upgrade install, and subsequently after a clean install + migration).
- Server Admin allows you to set up the foundation of your server - which it NEEDS!
- DNS - configure a local, pseudo domain for your server if you're doing this at home. Something like "mynet.private" - if you don't, your SSL certificates can get all jacked up, your clients will not trust your certs. This breaks a lot of stuff.
3. Do NOT accept the mDNS .local domain suffix for your Server
- At each step, if something auto-fills your server name as name.local reject it, and use the fully qualified domain name that you set up above (server.mynet.private).
- If you do not do this, anything that requires certificates could/will have big problems.
4. Enable services one at a time. Reboot after EACH major phase past the core Lion install.
- Base install ... Server install. REBOOT
- DNS configuration. REBOOT
- validate your host name - I needed to force a 'changeip' command because there was a problem with the HOSTNAME retaining the mdns .local domain name.
- OD Master config. REBOOT
- Set up Podcast Producer (which will also setup your Xgrid). REBOOT
5. Take images of your hard drive as you go.
- Once I got the core server installed, the basic services above, I rebooted and held the option key, then restarted on the Recovery HD image.
- Use Disk Utility to take a snapshot image of your hard disk so you can get back to this wonderful place of everything working! It's cheap insurance, and adds a bit of extra time, but is well worth it. If you leave the default settings alone (the 'compressed' one in particular) it will use as little space as possible. My server at this stage of configuration created a 4GB disk image.
6. Use the Migration Assistant After the above
- Now you can migrate your apps
- Migrate your users
- etc.
If you use the Migration option while you're installing the server, or if you upgrade on top of your Snow Leopard (or whatever), I can almost guarantee you that you are in for a world of hurt.
I struggled through all kinds of issues with files having embedded information, scattered throughout all the various subsystems, that gummed up my installation and would case all manner of the flakey Lion Server behavior that you read about ("Error Reading Configuration").
If you want to use Podcast Producer, or any of the Profile Manager features, the above methodology was the only way that I could get them to work. Often times I'd have everything working, then reboot and it would break. After I did the above, the system is as solid as a rock.
Today, I love Lion Server. Yesterday I was cursing it.
Best of luck!!

There are 2 distinct apps in Lion Server.... Podcast (in Server app) and Podcast Producer (Server admin which is deemed legacy from SNS). Podcast uses Podcast Publisher instead of Podcast Capture to produce, edit and submit to Podcast app. Podcast doesn't requre Xgrid where PCP did. The two don't mix.
It's as clear as mud in all the documentation about this.
We're finding that Podcast Publisher has much more flexibility that Podcast Capture (edit, episodes & more), can use existing workflow from PCP, doesn't require xgrid, and podcasts can easily be managed by non-IT people via the Podcast wiki as opposed to the CLI pcast commands to edit & modify PCP feeds.
Hope this helps.

Calling an applescript inside a Javascript, waiting for it to complete before moving on.

I've got a handly little applescript compiled as an app that performs an Adobe Illustrator action which exports the current file's artboard #1 to a specific location at 300ppi. I can even call it from a javascript... which is great because I want a javascript that will loop x times, changing text and exporting on each each loop. But, each loop will export a file with the same name... not a problem, I'll rename the file after each loop, and javascript will wait patiently for me the export to complete before moving on to the next step, right? Wrong! Javascript just keeps moving through the script.
So, how do I get Javascript to wait until the AppleScript completes the export? I can't have it wait a specific amount of time...export might take between 2 and 180 seconds.
My ideas:
1) can the applescript fire some sort of event letting Javascript know to move on?
2) Is there a Javascript equivalent to AppleScripts "do javavscript " command, which would allow me to move the Applescript code into my core javascript?
3) I could kludge a stopwatch on the first loop, checking every 10 milliseconds to see if the exported jpg file has been written... then using that as a baseline timer to pause later loops (not great, because the file will exist while AI writes it, and JS may rename it and try to export the second loop before the first is done).
for (z =0; z<copyArray.length; z++) {
var jpgExt = "-01.jpg";
var newExt = ([z] + jpgExt);
var exportASfile = File('/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5.1/Presets.localized/en_US/Scripts/VCS_Specialty Scripts/StandardExport.app');
exportASfile.execute(); // export the file
renamedFile = new File(exportFile); //variable exportFile is a reference to the jpg being written by the export
renamedFile.rename (exportFile.name.replace(jpgExt, newExt)   ); // replaces part of the filename with a new

I'd love to stay in one language, but since we're stuck on CS5 here, I have to make do.
My task for the script:
1) pop up a window to collect: 1a) number of copies, 1b) custom text, 1c) choice of three radio buttons -- I can't figure out how to do this in AS besides popping up three separate dialogs, I have it working great in JS
2) loop step 1, write a named text frame with an array value containing a concatenation of 1a, 1b, 1c -- pretty easy in either
3) loop step 2, export the file at a higher than 72ppi resolution with artboard -- currently controlled by an action, can't be done programmatically in either AS or JS using CS5
4) loop step 3, rename the file to match what was written to the text frame -- again, pretty easy in either
In CS5, neither JS or AS have the ability to control the resolution of a jpg when exporting.... just the scale. So an action is required.
My window JS has some of the basic edittext, statictext, buttons, panels elements, not too tricky:
var win = new Window ("dialog","Cover Copy Builder");
    win.orientation = "column";
    win.add ("statictext", undefined, "Copy and Format Instructions");
    var input = win.add('panel', [0,0,320,300], undefined, {borderless:true} );
    win.add ("statictext", undefined, "Output Summary");
etc.
Is there an AS equivalent to this sort of window building construction?

Can't delete primary zone in DNS after moving the server

Woe is me!
Our MacMini was hosted at a Colo site and working fine. No firewall in front of the machine, so we turned on the server firewall and only allowed mail, web, ftp, and a couple of other services. This worked great using our external public DNS wired to our domain names and public fixed IP address. Later, we got VPN up a running (the trick was to create a second, local IP address for the ethernet port), but this also required us to turn on the server's DNS to create a split-brained DNS server.
Everything was working swimmingly... and then we had a hard drive crash. Since we were thinking about moving the server onsite anyway (our POS system was accessed through the VPN, but it could be slow and made our tasting room dependent on Internet access in order to run the POS), we ordered Comcast business class internet with a fixed IP address.
We updated the external public DNS to the new public fixed ip. Rather than plug the mini directly to the Comcast router (which is in pass-through mode), we elected to put a AirPort Extreme in front of it, mainly so we could get all of the POS computers on the same local network without using the mini as a DHCP/NAT router. We created a DHCP reservation on the Extreme so that the mini had a fixed local IP address. We port forwarded everything we wanted to expose to the Internet. Email started to work again. However, web services and VPN are nada.
This being Snow Leopard Server and having spent literally hours debugging DNS issues when we first got the server, I knew it wouldn't be straightforward. And it hasn't been. Even changing the IP address of the server has been a chore.
We ran "sudo changeip <old IP address> <new IP address>".
Then we ran "sudo changeip -checkhostname" and received:
"$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 10.0.8.2 <new static internal IP address>
Current HostName = <servername>.<domainname>.com
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
dirserv:success = "success""
Oh no, the black pit of death.
Even though I tried to modify the machine record in the local DNS to reflect the new internal static IP address, Nada.
So, looking back on my previous research from Mr Hoffman and others, I stopped the DNS service, and I deleted the primary zone and reverse lookups in order to rebuild them from scratch. Except that no matter what I do, I can't delete the primary zone - it comes back like Dracula (even though the reverse zone and all of the zone records are gone). I tried rebuilding everything using the undeletable zone, but after a few services (saved each one separately), they would suddenly disappear.
I am leery of messing with the DNS files on the server as I don't want to hose up Server Admin (my command line skills are rudimentary and slow). I have so much installed on the machine now that I am concerned about someone saying "reinstall".
Help!
Related to this is that it is not clear to me in web services which IP address you should use for the sites. The internal IP? The public IP? I thought Apache cared about the external IP address. And I think Apache is hosed at the moment due to my DNS troubles anyway.
Thanks in advance!

Morris Zwick wrote:
And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
www.example.com
site2.example.com
then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure.

Problem with SCs that created before the Name Server was configured

Hello,
I have created an SC and developed it.
When I created it, the Name Server wasn't configured and because of that, when I created new DC for this SC I needed to write the vendor manually. Lets assume I wrote example.org.
Sometime after I did configured the Name Server and I reserved example.org as a namespace prefix.
When I create new SC and new DCs in it everything is OK: Instead of writing example.org as my vendor I can choose from a combo box between sap.com and my own which is example.org.
The problem arises with the SC that has been developed before the Name server was configured: If I create new DC for it the vendor is shaded with sap.com inside with no option to change it, even though the previous DCs for this SC were created under the vendor example.org (which I entered manually).
I assume I can (with a lot of manual work) create new SC and move the DCs (or only their code) to the newly created SC, where I have the option to choose, but I am looking for more simpler solution. For example, changing a certain configuration file at the SC or so.
Anyone has an idea?
Thank you in advance,
Roy

ICal stuck "moving to server account", how to resolve this?

I just got an iPhone and finally am syncing with iCloud, but now my calendars are stuck "moving to server". I have tried many resolutions found on support threads but none are working. I have tried logging out of iCloud, restarting computer, force quitting iCal...when I try to log out of iCloud and Delete on my Mac, System Preferences fails and quits on me. I can't uncheck the Calendars and Reminders box because it's greyed out and spinning. i'm on OS 10.8.5

Same issue...and not happy about switching to Mac!

Checks to be done before moving the objects from DEvV to PROD systems

Hi,
Please provide the standard methods and checks to be done in the transport requests before moving the objects from DEv to PROD.
Please help us here.

In se10 find your request and
Upper left corner - Request\task -> Complete check -> Object (syntax check) and Check Request Consistency.
This you can do for your request and all the tasks included in your request.
Note: Transport may still fail due to numerous reason (i.e) not all the objects needed are collected in the request,
but at atleast it gives some assurance that objects are not blocked in other requests etc...

2 music media folders containing songs, want to combine into one before moving to new Mac.

Hi, I've 2 music folders on my account containing music media, one named iTunes Music, the other Music. One is @ user/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/iTunes Music, the other is @ user/Public/iTunes Music/Music. This is on a g4 fp iMac using os 10.5.8 leopard, and iTunes 10.6.3.. I remember moving the folder iTunes Music/Music to the public folder many years back so as to be available for other accounts. I don't remember how that went except that it must have worked at the time, and probably wasn't used much by other accounts if at all, but has worked fine for me through the years, and now I've this to clean up before moving all the music media, and play lists to the new (to me) iMac, as I want to leave years of hoarded items/clutter behind so I'll be able to function more efficiently.
I'd like to combine all songs into one folder and eliminate any duplicates before moving the music files, and play lists to the newer iMac core 2 duo 2.66 GHz with iTunes 12.0.1.26.. If anyone would be willing to guide me on how to do this, I would be most grateful. What I've been reading on this subject of transferring the media, and play lists to another mac looks to be pretty straight forward. If it wasn't for the two separate folders containing music files I don't think I'd have much of a problem, but I'm unsure of how to proceed, and avoid losing any content other than duplicates.
Thank you,
ez

Would manually dragging and dropping files from the folder Music to the folder iTunes Music, but not any duplicate files, be the way to start or is there a simpler way to combine the two? My library isn't large but it would still take some time, and I'm unsure of what would be the result.

Calendars constantly "moving to server account"

Every time i open Calendar (formerly iCal) on my MacBook Pro, it doesn't load fully. There's a status/progress bar with "Moving calendars to server account..." I can leave my computer on and awake for hours, and nothing changes. No advance on a progress bar, nothing.
I can't access calendars, I can't create new events or entries, I can't look at or edit existing ones, nothing.
If I create an event on my iPhone, it will sync to Calendar via iCloud, but the "moving to server account" message will never go away, and I can't get to my calendars from my desktop.
What do I do? Help!

I am experiencing the same exact problem, have tried Eric's suggestion and a number of other things, and still have the problem.
Someone must have a solution, this is a real pain! Can't get into the calendar at all and has to be force quit.

A basic question about upgrading iPhoto before moving to a new iMac

I just ordered a new 27" iMac for my wife who uses several iLife programs and is a big user of iPhoto. Her present iMac still uses Tiger and iLife '08. Don't ask why Tiger! I'm wondering if there is any advantage/disadvantage to upgrading iLife to '09 before we move everything to the new iMac which will come with iLife '09? I'm not sure if the iPhoto library being upgraded on the current iMac would be moved to the new iMac "easier/cleaner" than copying the "old" library then placing it into "Pictures" (and opening it with '09 in the new iMac). For some reason it sounds "easier" to upgrade Before moving the library to the new iMac. Obviously this same "theory" applies to the other iLife applications. I'd rather ask this question today than to have to ask it when there's a great big problem!
Many thanks for the suggestions.

TD certainly you're right and I sit here laughing at the fact she has iPhoto '09 on her macbook Pro and '08 on her desktop. It wasn't until Saturday night that she let me put Snow Leopard on her MBP and I've been running it on my MBP and MP since it came out. Oh well. But at this point we'll upgrade the desktop (a PPC iMac) then can copy and move the library to the new iMac without some potential for problem.

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014. Could someone please give me steps to move everything from sql 2000 one server to sql 2014. I have 2 instance on sql 2000. 8 databases on each of them. On both instances we have store procedure and jobs.

i think your SQL Server 2000 is hosted on old Windows server version so based on that you should prepare new environment for SQL Server 2014 from Win Server 2012 Sp1 and SQL Server 2014 and build your clusters then start your Migration from Old Servers to
new servers and here below is 10 configurations outlines that you should look after carefully for any DB consolidation or migration from a server to a server and indeed they represent unique potentials for your DB Consolidation /migration service that
can leverage distinctly your service quality and shape you very well in front of your customers:
1- Backup DBs and restore DBs with ZERO down time and ZERO data loss in the same time …Awesome …!
2- Cloning all DB special features that are not covered by backups and restores such as :
RCSI (Read committed snapshot isolation level using row versioning)
Service brokers
Encryption keys and certificates
3- Cloning identically all SQL logins with their mapped DB users including their passwords (if SQL authenticated logins ) and privileges on both server and DB levels .
4- Copying .rdl and .rds files between different versions of reporting services where backup and restore reportserver and reportservertemp DBs is not an option
5- Cloning all special Jobs like certain business jobs configured to perform some business stuff .
6- Cloning all mail profiles with their mail accounts
7- Cloning all Linked server + Aliases might be used inside old DB servers
8- Cloning some server configurations like CLR ,CPU parallelism, Replication size , Network packet size , optimize for ad hoc workloads
9- Cloning all Replications configurations for publishers and subscribers
10- Cloning all DTC configurations for both local and clustered DTC services
