What are the Boot OSX HDs Appearing on my Server Desktop?

Hi,
When I login to my server (either via Screen Share or via the actual MacPro it is hosted on) I sometimes get four HDs appear on the desktop. They're all called Boot OSX and two are empty and two have com.apple.boot.S and System folders/files in them.
This happens on all local accounts on the MacPro, irrespective of them being OD accounts as well or not.
This doesn't happen all the time. It seems to appear just after I've used an account I've setup on the OD, the server's MacPro and my client iMac. This account is locked down as a simple finder with very little capabilities (so a designated person can log onto the server and eject the backup disk without going off-piste).
The only oddity I can think of about this account is that I messed about with creating a home account when setting it up in the WG Manager. Also the strictions I've put on it work when you log in from a client however when logged in from the MacPro the restrictions are in place but the simple finder and dock management doesn't seem to be reflected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Frank.

UPDATE:
I have four accounts on my MacPro (which hosts the server). Server/Local/Basic Administrator and Dummy Acc (SA, LA, BA and DA respectively). Only SA and DA are in the OD (as per standard server setup assistant); LA and BA are on the local account of the computer, not the server's OD.
When I login with and of the SA, LA or BA users locally, or SA remotely evrything appears as it should. It is only when I log in with DA, which is fully managed within WGM (Finder, Dock, Apps), that I get odd behaviour.
DA behaves as expected on client Macs but the Dock management settings, at least, don't appear to work when logged in on the local server machine.
Once I have logged in as DA on any machine (and then logged out or not) and then log in with any of the Administrator accounts I get this Boot OSX harddrives appearing, as previously described.
The Boot HDs then seem to no l;onger appear after some unspecified period of time with the server logged out of by all accounts.
None of this affects the performance (as much as I can tell).
Any thoughts? Is the Boot OSX some NetBoot type thing (which I haven't touched). Why is this behaviour associated with this dumb account?
Many thanks,
Francis.

What are the major logic steps of WL Portal Server process a portal request

Hi,
I comes from IBM and we provided a product to monitor most types of J2EE App Server about transactions and performance.
we will monitor WebLogic Portal Server in next release.
So would you please tell me:
How Weblogic Portal handles a page request from browser, what are the major logic steps that a page requests are fulfilled, which areas in Weblogic Portal are most likely to cause response time problem. For example, We monitor WebSphere Portal Server as the following major steps:
Portal Page loading, Model building, Page rendering, portlet action, etc....
we look forward to get your developer helps since we cann't find related documents over your website.
Thank you very much

WebLogic Portal, if Desktop enabled, it will render from Desktop->Portal->Books->Pages-->Portlets. You can get these information from WebLogic E-Docs.

What are the things we need to install on client desktop?

Hi all
I will need to install Peoplesoft Enterprise. However, for my part I will need to try to install it into serveral clients but connect it to a database. Which means that the main database is not in my com but in another com, is it possible that I can still install in my computer without a database and connect my com to the main com database? And I will also like to know what are the things I will need to install or configure into my computer which has no database. Such as do I need to configure PIA, WebLogic Server and etc. Can anyone please help me. I really need help and assistant in doing it.
Thanks

The database has been installed and configured with a given Peopletools version, say 8.52.x. You have to have the same version onto your local machine.
And since you want only third tier connection, no need to have any database client.
PIA is a server process to make front end users be able to connection onto the application using their own browser.
AppServer is a server process allowing people to connect in a 3tier mode, and which manage all the Peoplesoft thingy, exclusively to run on the server to make it available for all.
Batch Server, same as AppServer, exclusively on server side to make job process running out there. Not on any client.
Consequently, download the Peopletools (same version as the Peoplesoft database), configure the 3tier connectivity within the Configuration Manager and enjoy PSoft.

What are the differences between Oracle AS and Database Server?

Hi
I have quesstions:
1- what are the main differnces between Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle Database Server 10g ?
2- does the oracle J developer 10g come with Oracle application server or comes standalone?
3- is there any integration between the three above application , and how it are working together?
thanks
Suhaib

1) At its simplest level a Database Server is a database so for storing data and an application server is for running the applications (which will probably access the data in the database server).
2) JDeveloper comes stand alone or as part of the Oracle Developer Suite which is a collection of tools for building applications.
3) Yes they are integrated. More details on otn.oracle.com/products/ias

What are the correct steps for installing Oracle Entitlement Server SSM?

Can somebody explain what are the correct steps to install OES SSM 10.1.4.3? I have installed OES admin 10.1.4.3 and applied the CP2 patch. it is allowing me to open Entitlement Administration, where I can define the policy.
Is it sufficient to have this Entitlement Admin to call the policy from BPM? Do I need a SSM ?
When I try to configure Java SSM using ConfigTool.bat -process myssm_config.properties I am getting the following error

Yes I have explored this pdf...but it doesn't tell how to use the policy from the BPM. My question is if I want to use the policies from BPM, then do I need to install the SSM ?
If yes, what are the correct steps of installation ?

What are the best printer deployment practices for Win Server 2012 R2?

I have about 40 printers deployed around my school. My users move around my building and log into several computers throughout the day. I need to consistently get the correct group of printers to map to the computer upon startup and set a default printer.
I have tried to use GP, but the inability to set a default printer within the computer policy is a crippling issue. I have tried using third party software (Kaseya DPM) where I can set printers and default printers, but the real-world, daily deployment is
inconsistent. I have a logon script that I used to use, but the printers were trying to map before the network was established; the printer mapping was failing because the script was too fast.
This is not a new idea. What is the best way to consistently deploy printers that are mapped to specific computers?

Why not using user policy with item level targeting for the computer name?

What are the oriental characters that appear top left on my pc? I

I see oriental characters top left on my pc screen when using firefox. The pc is using windows 7 and macafee firewall and virusscan on a repeating subscription

Probably the problem is caused by mcaffe, try disable it and restart Firefox or '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

hi
IF you are working on a corporate network, i guess you have to contact your network pple to do this job.
I don't know the exact procedure but it goes like - configuring a reverse proxy and registering your computer with your domain proxy et all..
Google this book <b>"Internet Security and Firewalls by Sepna Vaid, V V Preetham"</b> it will give you info about networks, firewalls etc.

What are the System Requirements for Web Server hosting Adobe Air application

Working on a project that is using Adobe Air . The Adobe support site has system requirements for the client side application, but for the server side, what are the system requirements?
Using a Windows server, would expect to have approx. 100 concurrent connections at any given time.

Adobe AIR applications are installed on the end user's computer. They are not hosted on a web server. You can deploy an AIR file, which is the installer file for an AIR application, via your web server.

What are the spots that are appearing on the back of the iphone 5s?

I have had the iphone 5s since launch day. about a week in i started to notice little white dots on the back of the phone. ( i have been using a bumber case with a clear back) the white dots are mostly on the bottom part of the iphone on the black section. some of the dots have showed up near the apple emblem. i have taken a scribe and carefully tried to scrape it and some of it comes off but its back within a few days. Does anybody know what this could be?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
