What happened to Microsoft Product Support Reporting Tool?

I was looking to examine the health of the Active Directory setup that I have inherited at my new position. I was going to download the Microsoft Product Support Reporting Tool to run some tests, but all of the links I could find are broken.
It seems to have been excized from the Microsoft website. The information page as well as direct download links are all missing.
I have searched for information relating to its retirement but found nothing.
Has this tool been removed permanetly? Is there a place I can get the last supported version?
Thanks
Derek

Hi,
Thanks for posting in the forum.
For some reasons, we should replace the MPSReport Tool. For details, please refer to the following article.

What happened to Cisco Presales Support

What happened to Cisco Presales Support? Did they get cut? I used to get outstanding service when I opened cases with them online. I had nothing but praise..
Their web link is gone now, only a phone number. I just called them and they pretty much told me to talk to my vendor.
That was a wasted of 15 minutes of my life that I will never get back..

WhAT HAPPENED TO AE Plugin support????????

What happened to AE plugin support under FCP 5.1.1 Intel?
I was told that the plugins would run under Rossetta, and I purchased Color Finesse 2 (ouch!!!) and it does not work. The guy from synthetic aperture (company who makes CF) told me ,"Unfortunately, the Intel version of FCP 5.1.1 does not support After Effects plug-ins."
Is this true???
If so, we need to let Apple know that this is a disaster. AE Plugin support is one of the most attractive features of FCP expandability.
Question? Comments? outrage? Please post....

I can sympathise - just one of those IT timing things.
Been caught myself.
Sometimes you have to wait for full support, which is frequently out of Apple's control - eg Adobe is classic. (you might remember - What was the very last heavy hitting app to get written for OS X ? Yup - PhotoShop.)
Or have the workaround figured out in advance.
Looks like you've got one ...

What are 'tickets' in production support?

Hi BW Experts,
I never worked in production support. I know what type of errors occur in production support. I want to know how they are solved. I read in the previous posts about 'tickets' are generated. Are they like some bug numbers? how are they transferred to the technical person who is going to fix them?
Thanks
Ranjani

Hi Ranjani,
Handling tickets is called Issue Tracking system. The errors or bugs forwarded by the end user to the support team are prioritized under three seviority High, Medium and Low. Each and every seviority as got its time limits before that we have to fix the error.
The main job of the supporting consultant is to provide assistance on line to the customer or the organisation where SAP is already implemented for which the person should be very strong in the subject and the process which are implemented in SAP at the client side to understand,to analyse,to actuate and to give the right solution in right time.This is the job of the support consultant.
The issues or the tickets(problems) which are arised is taken care of on priority basis by the support team consultants.
The work process in support projects are given below for your reference.
1. The customer or the end user logs a call through any tool or by mail (RADIX).
2. Each one of the support team is a part of support group.
3. Whenever a customer logs a call he /she has to mention to which work group (by name).
4. Once the calls came to the work group the support consultant or the team need to send an IR (Initial Response) to the user depending upon the priority of the calls. (Top,High,Med,Low,None)
5. Then the error is fixed, debugged by the support consultant or the team. Then after testing properly by generating TR(Transport Request through the basis admin)
6. Then it is informed to the end user/customer/super user about the changes which have moved to the production server by CTS process.
These are the process. In summary, what I understand is that if any configuration or customization is required to solve the issue, then the consultant have to work on DEV Client, then the end user will test it in the QA client and after approval the BASIS consultant has to transport it to the PRODUCTION client.
An example:
Tickets in SD can be considered as the problems which the end user or the employee in the company face while working on R/3. Tickets usually occur during the implementation or after theimplementation of the project. There can be numerous problem which can occur in the production support and a person who is working in the support has to resolve those tickets in the limited duration, every ticket has the particular deadline alert so your responsibility is to finish it before that deadline.
To begin with , we should give "TICKET" to you for not knowing it.
Here is an eg of a ticket raise:
End user is not able to
1. Create Sales order for a customer from a New plant , since shipping point determination is not happened . ( Without Shipping point the document becomes INCOMPLETE and he will not be able to proceed further like DELIVERY, BILLING).
He raises a ticket and the priority is set in one of the below:
1. Low 2. Medium 3. High.
Now you need to solve this ticket. You would analyze the problem and identify that the SP configuration has to be done for the new plant.
You would request a transport for DEV CLIENT to BASIS. You do the change and Request one more Transport to BASIS for QA client. The End user will test the same by creating a sales order for the new plant and approve it.
Finally, you request a transport to move the changes to PRODUCTION. Once the change is deployed in production the TICKET is closed. What I have given is a small example. You would get some real issues with severity HIGH in your day-day support.
Assign Points if it helps.

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.

Apex Reports - Comparison to other products Company Reporting tools...

Hey Apex users.
Quick Question.
I'd like to do a quick comparison on the report tools and reporting environments that are out there and available to the public.
When picking a reporting tool, to do Reports for users and to have users build reports inside that selected tool.
Which tool would you use?
Does anyone know of or have any comparison white pages showing the differences between,
XML Publisher, Business Objects (Crystal Reports), Actuate reporting, Cognos Reporting, Oracle Apex reporting?
These are just a few of the major reporting products available.
Their might be even more reporting tools not listed here.
I know that everything I've listed here, are all different tools provided by different companies. But I'd like to here some of your feedback, on your experience when working these different technologies.
Let me know thanks.

Hey Ben
I did miss that tool I'll have to read up on that one. It looks quite interesting.
I'm all about empowering or encouraging users to build their own reports. I don't want to recommend or implement a solution that always requires an IT go to person for the report. With which ever tool is selected, I don't want to see the need for an IT person or an IT dept to be report developers and report publishers. I will admit that you need to have a sql expert on that system that your reporting from, in case the end report developer has a technical question.
But my goal is to see the client develop their own reports.
I'm planning on recommending and implementing a solution that permits the power users/clients to develop their own reports.
I hoping that the solution will not be to IT labor intensive to implement.
The end client should be able administrate the website or portal etc and administrate all the access to the reports and the access to the different systems the tool is connected too. etc.
Thanks Ben for the feedback.

What happened to live chat support?

When trying to access Live Chat, a message appears "There was an error checking the queue." I have seen this for quite some time so I know it is not an intermittent issue. A link appears underneath this message "You can try starting a chat session." When I click this I am brought to a blank page with the title "Leave A Message." What is going on? Even at the bottom of the Contact Us page there is mention of live chat under Technical support.

Hi,
I'm sorry this isn't completely clear on the web site, we are working on making changes to all of the web pages that refer to Live Chat because it is currently unavailable. We put the service 'on hiatus' two weeks ago because the client-side tools aren't sufficient for a good experience (for the user or the helper).
You can ask your question on this forum and we'll do our very best to help you out.

What happened to Apple tech support?

I used to be able to "chat" with a tech online at any time of the day or night. Is that support gone?
I've been on hold for 25 minutes (on my cell... thanks, Apple) waiting for this number to pick-up... 800-275-2273.
That # was given to me by someone at Apple, although he'd never heard of the tech chat support (idiot or newbie).
What's their deal?

I have to throw a little cold water on the on-line chat. I have used it several times, and found, each time, that the agent is working from a very limited script, and has a few stock answers that never actually addressed, much less solved, my problems.
It's a lovely idea, but unfortunately, it really doesn't work. Calling Apple, even with a wait to speak to a tech, is a much better bet, particularly if you can get moved up to a level two tech.
Hope this is of some use to you,
Miriam

What happened to multiple camera support in OnLocation CS4?

Am I going crazy? Didn't OnLocation CS4 support multiple cameras (changing between them with a drop down selection) after its first release? But after one of those Adobe software upgrades it seems I need to close the app, turn off one camera, and start the application back up??
When I originally purchased my CS4 collection of software and began to use it, I used OnLocation to record clips from two identical Canon HV30 cameras. In the "monitor" portion of the screen there was a drop down box that allowed to select between the two cameras currently attached to the computer.
However, after one of the several Adobe CS4 updates, this feature no longer seems to be included in the software. There is no drop down box in the monitor window - instead it just says "Monitor: Canon Camcorder."
When I start OnLocation just one of the cameras shows up - the other is not even given as the option. If I start OnLocation with only the second camcorder turned on, the software does in fact use that camcorder - so both work correctly with the software it just is either not recognizing both at the same time (as it did before) or refuses to let me change between them.
I can see both camcorders in the device manager.
I am not even asking for simultaneous recording here...

Yes, uninstalling 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 and rolling back to 4.0.0 should get you this feature back. However, I would strongly urge you not to do so. The patches fixed quite a few crasher bugs, so you'd be taking a big step backward in stability in return for that feature.
If the ability to switch cameras is essential to your workflow--and if you own CS3--I'd recommend that you use CS3 for your switching needs rather than running 4.0.

What happened to "Account Settings" under the tools heading?

The Account Settings was listed yesterday and then it disappeared. I just installed the latest update this morning and did not fix it. The same problem exists on my wife's computer.

I should have said Thunderbird. In any event, they have reappeared without my doing anything. Very weird! Thank you.

Difference among the reporting tool

Hi There,
I am new on Hyperion, I am wondering what is the differences among these reporting tools:
1. Interactive Reporting
2. Financial Reporting
3. SQR Production reporting

I think you will find the following links helpful.

Keep in mind that of the 3 listed only Financial Reporting is considered a strategic reporting tool.
Oracle's strategic replacements are as follows

IR -> OBIEE - Answers, Dashboards, and Delivers
