What is the easiest way to ensure correct permissions on multiple servers for folder targets (2008r2) DFS-R

I have 5 sites to manage and need to create replicated folders using a domain DFS on at least one server on each site. (2008R2)
My aim is to work out the most efficient (i.e. least work) of creating shares on each server and ensuring that permissions are consistent.
At the start there will notionally be one "master" share and all the other "satellite" servers will connect bi-directionally with this central one.
So if I ensure that when the folders are created on the satellite servers that administrators and system have NTFS full control, will those folders inherit the permissions from the source folder, or will I need to set permissions on each server?

After initial replication finished, there is no Primary server anymore
Hi Shaon, and thanks for your reply
I am aware that when you create the first 2 members of a group DFS-R asks you to select a master.
The situation I am now in is that 4 of 6 machines have finished replication and I have another 2 to add.
So when I add a new member to the group, will the group NTFS perms be applied to the new member target, or do I have to set the NTFS perms on the new target prior to replication?
If permission granting is automatic, are there any minimum perms on the new folder target, e.g. that the system has full control
Part of the reason why I am asking is this: sometime we put re-directed folders into DFS and these have complex NTFS permissions i.e. "domain user" can create folders but not files and "creator owner" has full access to sub files and
folders. It is very easy in this situation to get some of the perms wrong on one of the member targets.

What is the easiest way to always increment to index 0 only for a multi-element array ?

The premise is to populate a spreadsheet from left to right in the same row but incrementing the column letter only (ie - B4, then C4 etc). Attached I have customized an existing example VI that works for a 2 element array (ie - B4) but does not work for a 3 element array (ie - B40, then becomes B50). Keeping it simple, what is the best and easiest way to modify my existing code to always check the array size and automatically index back to 0 in order to properly increment the first letter only (ie - B) and not the number (ie - 4) ?
Thanks !

In case you ever have more than 26 columns (as Ravens Fan noted), here
is some code I use to generate the column label from the column number
(0=A,1=B,...).

What is the best way to set up devices and multiple computers for a family

I am trying to setup multiple devices and computers with home sharing. I currently have 1 apple I'd for my wife and one for me.   I want to set up home sharing for us and my two kids. We have two small laptops that stay at home and one that goes back and forth to work.
?1. Do i need to give up my apple I'd and share my wife's or vise versa or do I just enter it into my device iPhone or iPad when I want to load something from another library onto my device and the change I'd back. Will the stuff still be there then when I switch back to my apple Id.     Can I switch like that.
2. Should my kids each have their own apple I'd or just use the same one for multiple computers and devices.
3. Does a network system outside of wifi need to be setup for the computers another wards have the computers linked on a network. Or can they just be in the same place at the same time with wifi. Generic linksys Internet connection.

Unless you have 3rd-party apps allowing Windoze to read and write Mac OS Extended, or your Mac to read & write NTFS, your options are ExFat or Fat.   See #9 in Using Disk Utility.

What is the easiest way to create alias email addresses in exchange 2013?

For example my official domain is [email protected]
Within my company i want to make it look like certain departments are sending from bicycles.com skateboards.com
and skooters.com and receive to those addresses even though the emails are really going through the
[email protected] domain. but it appears to be coming from three other domains.
appearance is everything. What is the easiest way to accomplish this.
Step by step with examples if possible. I am not well versed in exchange server 2013 yet.
Droid Hacker

In Exchange 2013 you can use the ECP to add additional email addresses to mailboxes. In order for a mailbox to send using an address, that address needs to be set as the reply address. One mailbox cannot send as multiple addresses. Doing that would require
a mailbox for each address. To set a new primary address on a mailbox log into the ECP and choose mailboxes under the recipients option on the left. Then search for the mailbox you want to add the address to and click the edit symbol. Navigate to the
Email Address tab on the left. To set a new primary address you will likely need uncheck the box for "Automatically update email addresses based on the email address policy applied to this recipient". Then click the plus button, enter the new address,
and check the box for "Make this the reply address"
Before you do this you should ensure that the proper MS records exist for these other domains, and that they are properly configured for mail flow. Once you set this as the reply address for a mailbox, that is the address external users will use for replies.

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player? I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music. Thanks.

I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.

What's the easiest way to back up and restore my hard drive to a new HD

I'm going to upgrade my hard drive to a larger one on my MacBook. I have an external backup drive. What is the easiest way to save all my data (documents, emails, etc) and applications and restore them to the new hard drive in my MacBook? I have Leopard OS.
I've read on the forum everything from using Time Machine to the Disk Utility. I have been backing up everything to my external HD using Time Machine.
Can you point me to a step by step process.

I don't use TM, so here's my method that I've used many times for the same thing you are doing.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Now, boot from the clone to be sure it works correctly by opening Startup Disk, selecting the external volume, then clicking the Restart button. If all is well the computer will boot from the external drive. Now shut down the computer and disconnect the external drive. Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery. Install the new hard drive. Once you've completed the installation connect the external drive and restart the computer.
Now do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but recommended for a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
After formatting is completed use DU to clone the external drive's system back to the new internal drive. The external drive becomes the Source and the internal drive will be the Destination.

What is the easiest way to transfer music from my ex's itunes library to mine? We both have Macbooks and we do have home sharing.

Over the years my ex's and I bought tons of music off itunes, but always bought it on her Macbook. Now that we aren't together I want to copy all of the music from her itunes library and import it into mine. Is this possible, and what is the easiest way?
Many Thanks

the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
that would ensure everything (including playcounts, ratings, original "date added", which home sharing doesn't copy over) will be transferred. it would also ensure that any mobile devices (iPhone, etc.) will simply keep on syncing without problems.
you can also use an external HD (or your LAN) but make sure to copy the entire iTunes folder.

There is NO way to get the Unix (=Solaris) version of FM 8 to run
under OS X. It's an executable compiled for the SPARC processor,
and I don't think Apple has made a SPARC/Solaris emulator... :-)

What is the easiest way to zoom into a picture?

Once I generated a picture, what is the easiest way to zoom into it?
I.e. Mantaining the same picture size on the screen, but reducing the
field of view on a certain section, in order to make it bigger?
Thanks.
G.

If you are using the picture control in version 6.0 you are out of luck, if I remember correctly, the zoom property was add in version 7.0 ( I could be wrong) . The math is simple on zooming a picture however consisting of a translation and scaling factor only. Lets assume we have a picture in a 600x800 (height pixels by height pixels) to zoom in to the center we use the center pixel (600/2, 800/2) and make the array subset of the zoomed image from center - (height/2)/zoom_factor and a zoomed height of height/zoom_factor and do the same for width. So basically you find the center pixel (need not be the center of the image) and get a subset of the initial image array data with a new height and width both divided by the zoom factor.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
What is the best practise for that?
Thanks in advance

Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
Thanks

Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

OK it depends.
If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.
