Windows Clustering Networks question...

Hi all;
This is my scenario:
I have installed Windows Server 2012 on two servers. Then enabled Windows Clustering feature on it. The shared storage is based on Fibre Channel technology. Each server has 4 NICs and I have splitted them as followis:
One NIC for remote mangement of the servers with the range of 172.16.105.0/24.
One NIC dedicated for heartbeat communication.
Two NICs has been bundled together with NIC Teaming feature of the operating system.
But as you see in the following figure there are 4 Cluster Network links:
Is it normal?
Thanks

Mac 10.5 and Windows 7 networking question(s)...

So after about 5 hours of work I finally got my iMac desktop (10.5) to network wirelessly with my Windows 7 laptop. All is well, except that my entire mac desktop hard drive shows up on the network even though I only have one specific folder set to "share" on my Mac desktop. I can't figure out why the whole thing is showing up. Any suggestions? I've checked and rechecked my settings and only the one folder (not the public folder, but a different one if it matters) is checked to share. The user on the Mac that shares info with the laptop is the administrator, if that matters.
Also, I have another apple laptop. Is it possible to share both a windows laptop and a mac laptop with a mac desktop at the same time? I don't think it is because you have to set file sharing to "smb" to network with windows and not use "afp" or "ftp" and I don't think mac can use "smb" between two macs. Is that right? I can't get the mac laptop to network and I assume that this is the reason, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance.

Mac prints. PC does not. Bonjour Printer Wizard found the printer, so there's some communication between the two (although the printer never came on, but I assume the AX knows what it’s plugged into).
One odd thing is that, after installing the printer driver (downloaded from Brother), Bonjour Printer Wizard listed Brother as a printer manufacturer three times, only one of which shows the HL-2040.
The las time I tried printing from Windows the printer turned on, but did not print.

MSFT Windows clustering for SAN visibility by BO FRS?

Hi all,
This is specially for gurus who have worked on configuring clustered BO environment where FRS directories reside in a common SAN space. Do you have to have the Windows servers clustered (MSFT Windows clustering) so that the BO nodes residing on these Windows server have no problems accessing/writing/reading to a common SAN space? Does configuring clustered FRS on a SAN need the Windows servers upon which they reside be network clustered as well? A SAP tech support suggested this but I have not come across any such reference hence the question. Any insights greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

hi, but one thing to note about SAN storage is without MSFT, at only one time, i believe only 1 server is allowed to access to the SAN storage. Unless the 1st server is rebooted / disconnected from the network, then only can the 2nd server access to the same LUN. Do correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Transition from Windows-based network to Linux-based

I am looking to make the switch from a Windows based network to a Linux based one. Currently the network includes a Windows 2003 server which acts as a domain controller and file server, a network shared printer (Canon 2300N) and 7 clients running Windows. Several other Windows-based clients connect remotely via RDP.
I would like to setup a server to act as a domain controller, file server, and (if possible) terminal server. The clients should be authenticated via the server and have access to the files stored on it (via ssh?).
Here are several points that I was wondering about:
All the clients use Outlook, some of the clients run Quickbooks Pro and another program called Tentant File Pro. I was thinking about replacing Outlook with Thunderbird (I contact, calendar, and tasks) and I know that Wine can't run Quickbooks and Tenant File Pro so I may have to use VirtualBox/VMWare because these applications can't be replaced by native Linux versions.
I need an adequate backup solution for the files on the server running as a daily backup.
Should I use webmin to administer the server?
What antivirus / firewall solution should I use for the server and the clients?
How can I allow remote clients the login to the server to be able to run applications (Outlook, Browser, Tenant File Pro, etc.) remotely on the server?
What is the best solution for this? And what would be the least painful way of making the transition for the users?
I know this is a lot, but any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Probably not Arch if you just want to dump all these questions on the community rather than research it all individually yourself.
Perhaps Turnkey Linux would be suitable to get you up and running:

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Adding Airport Express to Existing Windows Wireless Network

My fiance has an existing Windows wireless network. I have an Airport Express I want to add to the network so I can "broadcast" my iTunes (or her's) through a powered speaker system in another room?
My question is...is that possible? And if so, how?
I've tried running my Airport Setup Assistant and restarting the Airport Express to no avail and would appreciate any suggestions.

Connect to the wireless network connected to the net (ie the (so-called) Windows wireless network**.
Having hard reset the Airport Express, run the Assistant and configure a new base station and configure it to connect to the existing wireless network.
** There is no such thing as a Windows wireless network, as 802.11b/g is the same standard used by Apple and other wireless router manufacturers, it is not Windows specific in any way.

Firefox crashes on Windows 7 when printing to a Windows 7 network printer.

On Windows 7 running Firefox 3.6.10, I cannot print to a Windows 7 network printer. Firefox crashes every time as soon as I hit print.
However, the situation is very specific. I can print from Windows XP using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows 7 network printer. I can also print from Windows 7 using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows XP network printer. The only situation that doesn't work is using Firefox and printing from Windows 7 machine to Windows 7 machine.
Firefox is also the only program that does not print. I can print using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, MS Word, MS Excel, and every other application just fine. Firefox is exclusive in that it is the only program that crashes and refuses to print. The drivers that are being used a PostScript drivers.
I have tried multiple versions of Firefox from older ones to the Firefox 4 beta and the program crashes every time.
Again, the only time it crashes is printing from a Windows 7 client computer to a Windows 7 network printer. Printing from XP to Windows 7 and from Windows 7 to XP works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only program I've noticed the problem with is Firefox, so I'm assuming it's a problem at the application level.

Looks like a Windows problem, but not restricted to Win7 or 3.6.10 - there's one on Vista SP2 with Firefox 3.6 and another with 4.0b6 on Win7.

Are you using DHCP to allocate IP addresses via your router or Static IP allocation?
You may have an IP conflict in your network.
Check on your various network configuration parameters in your iPad, PC and WiFi router.

Slow Windows-based network devices (smb) discovery?

Hi
I've noticed a problem with accessing windows file shares.
After a successfull boot of my mac it takes around 5-10 min for macOS to detect my windows computer on network.
This is very long time and i cannot access the shares without waiting.
I've read a lot about issues with samba and apple's samba's custom implementation however i've found no working solution for my case.
Has anyone experience similiar issues with slow windows devices network discovery?

I am experiencing the same issue... I was searching the whole afternoon but until now unable to find a solution...

How do I integrate Ipad2 into a Windows Home network?

I have a Windows home network setup consisting of a number of computers running Windows Vista and Windows 7. I need to integrate my newly purchased IPad2 into this network; at the very least, I need to access the network printer.
Thanks in advance,
s660117

The only way to get your iPad into your network is if your network has wi-fi. You configure the iPad for a wi-fi network in Settings/Wi-Fi.
To print to your printer it needs to be an AirPrint printer. If not you may be able to print to the printer if it is USB and connected to one of your computers or your network's router. To print to a USB printer, you may be able to use an iOS printing app, available from the iTunes App Store or by installing AirPrint on the computer.
Install AirPrint on a PC;

Network Question: How Do I See the Macs from the PC?

I'm a PC-to-Mac switcher. I'm trying to move all my activites to the Mac platform, so at the moment I'm sort've one foot in each world.
One problem I have encountered is transferring files from the PC to the Macs over my network.
When I'm on the Mac, I can find the Windows MSHome Network fine, and can grab files that way. But sometimes I'm on the PC, and want to send files to the Mac. But I can't seem to find the Mac on the network from the PC.
Is there someway to do that?
Oh, and, why does the Mac create all these files with a dot in front of the filename. That I could do without... especially when they're just ".trashes"
Thanks,
--PS

On the Macs, Ststem Preferences>Sharing>Services tab, enable Windows Sharing!
Oh, and, why does the Mac create all these files with a dot in front of the filename. That I could do without... especially when they're just ".trashes"
We do have a few silly things... can't be perfect!
One kind of those dot files, (hidden on Macs), that you can stop...
To configure a Mac OS X user account so that .DS_Store files are not created when interacting with a remote file server using the Finder, follow the steps below.
Note: This will affect the user's interactions with SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV servers.
1 Open the Terminal.
2 Type:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
3 Press Return.
4 Restart the computer.

I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
