Windows 2003 AD DC as NTP server for Mac

(I originally posted this in the Mac OS X forum but later found this group which seems more relevant)
I tired to setup my PowerBook G4 OS X 10.4.4 to use our existing NTP time server (Active Directory Domain Controller) as the source for the Mac to get its time. The Mac is joined to the domain and I can browse the domain ok (shows connectivity) but if I try to check the time setting using the command "ntpq -p" we get "Connection Refused".
To set the time server we updated the etc/ntp.conf file and updated the line:
server time1 minpoll 4 maxpoll 10
where 'time1' is the fully qualified name of our server (which we can ping from the Mac)
Any ideas?

While you can use the command line to set up your NTP connection, you can use the GUI interface in the System Preferences Date & Time pane to do this more easily. Type the name or IP address of your server in the "Set date & time automatically" field.
By the way, "time1" is not a fully qualified domain name. "time1.company.com" is an example of a fully qualified domain name. If the name doesn't work for you, try using the IP address. If this works, then your problem connecting is probably related to DNS services not resolving your server's name properly or your DHCP server not providing your network with the correct domain suffixes.
Hope this helps! bill

Problem synchronizing windows clients with solaris 10 NTP server

Hello everyone,
I realyy need help on the following:
I tried to synchronize windows 2003 as client with NTP server running in Solaris 10
My Time Zone in the NTP server is GMT+3, and in my windows is also set to GMT+3
When I start NTP server and clients , I got 6 hours delay between the clients and the server
I tried to synchronize the Solaris server with another solaris system, the synchronization is working fine
Your help
Regards
Hakim Fourar

True (but only for later releases). But since he mentioned getting a 6 hour offset after starting them, that makes me think that the systems are communicating, and that the time zones are incorrect.
This is easily verified by using 'ntpq -p' and 'date ; date -u'. The first will show if the client thinks it is synchronized to a server (and what the UTC offset is in miliseconds). The second will show the date in the default timezone and in UTC.
If you're not using POSIX, you'd think that GMT+XX meant east of UTC, but for POSIX, it means west of UTC.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

Sun Java System Application Server for Mac OS X ?

hi everybody.
does anybody know if (any given date ?) sun is planning to offer a distribution of its sun java system application server for mac os x ? or even better: any ideas on how to install a currently available version on mac os x 10.4 ? the linux bin seems not to be readable.
thank you very much in advance, folks.
and have a nice day
andre from berlin, germany

As you noticed, standalone MacOS distribution of application server is currently not available, but what you can do is to download NetBeans with J2EE bundle or Creator (for free) and install bundled Application Server on this platform. Download URLs are:
http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?type=4.1
(NetBeans/J2EE cobundle)
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/devtools/free/
(Creator)
Also, you can install and run Glassfish (which is open-source version of upcoming Application Server 9.0) on MacOS X:

Parallels Server For Mac configuration (or any VM product), best practices

What is the recommended practice for configuring Parallels Server For Mac on an XServe? The xserve has 3 hard drive bays. What do most people do to maximize uptime, failover, disaster recovery, etc. We do have 3 different physical xserves with PSfM also.
Is a software RAID recommended for the boot OS drive? for the drive storing the VMs if not the same drive?
How are your hard drives configured?
I'm concerned that mirroring two 1TB hard drives and using that for both the host OS and for the VMs will present problems:
When creating new VMs, copying large amounts of data, etc, I'd guess that moving 10-100 GB of data is tasking for the software raid and will noticeably affect performance for all VMs.
If one of the mirrored drives fails and the raid needs to be rebuilt, this probably would bring the entire system to a crawl, at best, and possibly be unusable while it works to repair the raid. Thus it would have to be done during off peak hours. This would prevent a complete outage though.
are these correct assumptions?

Hello there,
There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2. R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build. Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server. This will require additional hardware. You
can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from, restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2.

How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac

How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac? And how much does it cost?

Forget that nonsense talk about volume licenses. Or are you saying you need 10 Windows licenses? You simply buy a new version of PS (= new license) or do a platform swap.

I know some people have got FMS running on FreeBSD, so
there's a good chance it'll run on MacOs X. You'd be without any
support from Adobe though.
I myself set up FMS on debian, and allthough very possible,
it wasn't exactly straight-forward

Just switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windows desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac, with catalogues, files etc residing on external HDD): Anything to be particularly aware of, or beware of, before/during switch?

Just switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windows desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac, with catalogues, files etc residing on external HDD (due to multi-location living & lots of travel). Anything I need to be particularly aware of, or beware of, before/during switch? Thanks a lot for suggestions, recommendations, tips, experiences. Best, Joachim

The switch should be straight forward but I would start by uninstalling LR 5. This is because there is no specific CC version of Lightroom and you can’t run the creative cloud version and the perpetual version on the same machine. Your catalog and images will be safe and will not be affected by uninstalling. CS4 will not be affected and will still work independently.
Then launch CC desktop and go to the Apps tab. I would recommend installing in this order:
Photoshop CC 2014
Photoshop CC (if you need this to run old plug-ins)
Lightroom 5
If you install in that order LR will automatically recognize Photoshop for external editing from the LR Library.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 as NTP server for IOS clients

I am trying to synchronize the clock in my switches using a Windows 2003 ntp server. Debugging shows that the switch receives an answer from the server, but will not accept it. Debugging shows "Failed validity tests 20" which I think means "bogus packet received".
On the server side I have changed the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\LocalClockDispersion from the default value 10 to 0, found that tip on the web. I also adjusted the switch clock manually so that the difference was less than a minute. Did not help.

At the Windows 2003 server I changed two registry keys, but I think the first one was not needed.

w32tm /config /update
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\Type="NT5DS"
Restarted Windows time service
Note that NT5DS means that this server will get its time from another domain controller in my domain.
The point is to make sure that time really is synchronized at the server. If you want the server to sync from an external source, consider changing the source to something other than time.windows.com
net time /querysntp and net time /setsntp

Ntp Server for Oracle 11gr2 (oracle clusterware) on HP-UX

we are planning to configure a ntp server on Windows 2003 server for our Oracle 11gr2 RAC (2 nodes) on HP-UX but we have some issues to be clear. Following are the details for our environment.
RAC : Oracle Clusterware (2 nodes)
Database : 11gr2
OS: HP-UX B11
Hardware: HP Intergrity Blade Servers BL860c i2
ntp server : HP Proliant
if our ntp server fails how the both nodes will manage the time?

if our ntp server fails how the both nodes will manage the time?Use NTP insure that all cluster nodes must be synchronized to the same time ,in 9i , 10g and 11gR2 Oracle Clusterware includes the Cluster Time Synchronization Service (CTSS) . On startup Clusterware checks for a NTP configuration, if found, CTSS goes into Observer mode. This means it will monitor the clock synchronization and report in the Oracle Clusterware alert log if it finds a problem. If it does not find a NTP configuration, CTSS will be active .

Adding x64 drivers on a Windows 2003 R2 32bitserver, PS drivers asks for ntprint.inf

I have a bunch of 2003 R2 32bitservers on my branch offices. We have quite a printers that fails when I add 64bit drivers as additional drivers. In general, PCL seem to work fine and PS fails during install.
I go for additional drivers on my HP 4000ps share and I add hpdj4000serieswx64ps\hpi4000v.inf
The installation then begins and in the end pops up with:
Please insert the Windows Server 2003 family (x64 processor) disk.
It seem to ask for E:\amd64\NTPRINT.INF file .
I try directing the "locate file" to my Windows 2003 R2 64bit share where I have the amd64\NTPRINT.inf file, however it just fails and asks over and over for this file. What do I do wrong.
The same happens on other PS drivers. E.g. Xerox WC7245.

Hi,
I've faced the same issue.. but finally resolved.
We have SBS 2003R2 x86 and some clients x64 OS (Win 8.0) remaining are x32 clients
I'm using Win 8 x64 and RSAT for server management
In this scennario I was using Unified driver
What I did:
1. Added printer and Installed x86 driver on SBS box directly (through RDP)
2. Opened Print Management on x64 client (RSAT package) and browsed for Printer on SBS
3. Upon right click on printer and select properties, it said that I don't have a driver installed for this device and asked me to install it.
4. from here it was straightforward... browsed for the same unified driver on my computer that I used on SBS
5. Install is succeeded, x64 driver is added to the printer, shared on SBS.
Hope, this helps anyone who facnig this issue...
Regards,
KL

Where to start with a licensing server for Mac and Windows

Hi all,
We have quite a mixture of OSX and Windows across the hundreds of computers we are running. We are on a volume key for all the CS3 products we buy but we still deploy them manually on a MAC but use specops (AD deployment) for the PC). There are some patches now for CS3 and for the MAC we would need to deploy it manually to a large number of machines.
What I want to do is a) set up a server for deploying software and managing the licenses and b) deploying packages for patches or getting the machines to connect to a deployment server.
I have been looking around the Adobe site but I can't find anything that outlines what I need to do to get started with this.
Thanks for any info that can be provided.
Steven

Likely your best option is to go for some 3rd party software.
As for license tracking you could look into license statistics:
