WSUS 3.0 - Cannot access any web administration.

Hello.
I was wondering if someone could help. We have had a pretty problematic SBS 2008 server and since taking it over I have decided to fix all the issues and ensure a sweet running environment.
Most things are back up and running with no issues apart from WSUS 3.0.
Previously it would appear this had been removed. I re-enabled the feature via Add/Remove Features and followed the simple installation process with no errors after which SP2 installed.
During the installation I was informed that an administration web page would be accessable at http://[servername]:8530
I used the WSUS application on the server to setup the initial synchronisation and accessed the administration page from my workstation only to be show a 403 Forbidden Access errors.
I also tried to access the administration page on the server and was also given a 403 Forbidden message for the directory C:\Program Files\Update Services\Webservices\Root
I looked at that folder and found it to only contain the following:
* aspnet_client (empty folder)
* iuident.cab
* web.config
* WUTRACK.BIN
I was sure I would see more in this folder.
After some looking around I found this:
Ths is non-conclusive; there is no web-browsable content in a WSUS Server.
However, there are a couple of file download URLs you can test to verify functionality.
You should get File Open/Save dialogs from these four URLs on your server:
1. http://servername/iuident.cab
2. http://servername/selfupdate/iuident.cab
3. http://servername:8530/iuident.cab
4. http://servername:8530/selfupdate/iuident.cab
In addition, you can get a web services description page from this web service (but only this one):
5. http://servername:8530/simpleauthwebservice/simpleauth.asmx
The first 2 show No File Found, 3 & 4 download the file and 5 does display a description page.
I am going to setup a test server with a fresh install of WSUS 3 to see what files are created but if anyone else has any ideas on what I can try that would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

During the installation I was informed that an administration web page would be accessable at http://[servername]:8530
Not likely, since there is no administration web page available on a WSUS server.
I suspect you have misinterpreted what the dialog said. What the dialog says is that there is a Virtual Root named
WSUS Administration that was installed and assigned to port 8530.
Do not read into the v-root site name anymore than is actually meant.
This is non-conclusive; there is no web-browsable content in a WSUS Server.
It's unequivocally conclusive. There is NO web-browsable content in a WSUS Server installation.
However, there are a couple of file download URLs you can test to verify functionality.
You should get File Open/Save dialogs from these four URLs on your server:
1. http://servername/iuident.cab
2. http://servername/selfupdate/iuident.cab
3. http://servername:8530/iuident.cab
4. http://servername:8530/selfupdate/iuident.cab
In addition, you can get a web services description page from this web service (but only this one):
5. http://servername:8530/simpleauthwebservice/simpleauth.asmx
The first 2 show No File Found
Eh.. they should be there, but their absence is non-critical. In fact, pretty much irrelevant these days. :-)
3 & 4 download the file and 5 does display a description page.
Great. Works perfectly.
but if anyone else has any ideas on what I can try that would be really appreciated.
Yeah, this is all legacy information, hasn't changed in seven years, and no real need to install a second server just to get these details.

Installed Netweaver 2004s SP7 but cannot access any tools

I have successfully Installed Netweaver 2004s SP7 Java version but cannot access any of the tool sets. When I try the URL's localhost:50100/irj or localhost:50100/caf it takes me to the initial screen. When I click on any of the tabs (example: Guided Procedures followed by Design time) everything is blank. If I type the URL localhost:50100/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/cafeugpuidt/AppWorkset it takes me to the design time but when I click on anything to create actions or processes, I get the error message "The Web Dynpro 'AppWorkset' Application has expired. Restart the application with refresh button or the following link AppWorkset"
My goal is to play with Guided Procedures. Is EP the only way to access design time and runtime or are there other ways?

Yeah well that sounds like DNS problems so I suggest you change your DNS settings to use Google DNS servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Can't Access the web administration page

Hello,
I have a new Linksys router that I installed a few months ago. I am trying to connect my PS3 using wireless. the PS3 sees the access point SSID, but keeps failing to connect. I have double/triple check the WEP2 key and it is correct. I am also having problems accessing the web administration page. I keep getting page not found. I don't think that I have access the web administration page since I set it up. I can ping the router, so I know that its up, along with getting out to the Internet, I have used NMAP and scanned the router, but only 10080 is open (PS3) port. I assume that the default URL for the web administration page is http://192.168.1.1. There is no port needed to put in the URL is there? Also, since NMAP showed no ports open does that mean that the web server in the router is not listen? If so how do I connect without having to reset the router?
I do have some Cisco Linksys app that shows a GUI of my network, but no adminisration help.
Thanks,

Who is your ISP..?
Are you able to go online on the wired computer...?
Make sure the computer is connected to the router on the Ethernet port and check the ip address first...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,Adjust the browser settings....Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now,try to open the setup page again...

Error: "Cannot access the web server" with BlazeDS Turnkey

Help! I'm new to Flex and BlazeDS and Eclipse. I was trying to setup a Flex Project using a BlazeDS/Tomcat server running from Eclipse on Windows XP per the example in flexbandit.com/archives/55#comment-269 and in (www.infoq.com/articles/blazeds-intro).   I am NOT using the Eclipse Flex plug-in. I'm using Flex Builder for the Flex code.
Here's what I've done:
I installed BlazeDS and tested http://localhost:8400 - That worked.
I setup Tomcat in Eclipse. - That seemed to work.
I created a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse - That seemed to work.
I created the bare-bones BlazeDS Configuration under the Eclipse project and then created a basic HelloWorld java class.
I added the destination in the “remoting-config.xml” file found in the c:/projects/workspace/ReportGenTool/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex” directory:
<destination id="HelloWorld">   <properties> <source>HelloWorld</source> </properties> </destination>
When I started the application server by clicking on the server's green play button in Eclipse and then tried to open localhost:8400/ReportGenTool, I got the 404 error : The requested source (/ReportGenTool/) is not available which according to the instructions is fine.
Next I created a Flex Project, but when I try to validate the new Flex project configuration, it gives me an error "Cannot access the web server. The server may not be running, or the web root folder or root URL may be invalid."
When I validated the server was running after setting up the BlazeDs Turnkey, I saw the BlazeDS page.
Now when I bring up http://localhost:8400 I get:
      Directory Listing for /
      Apache Tomcat/6.0.14
My eclipse project is named ReportGenTool and I've overwritten the WebContent directory with the META-INF and WEB-INF directories from the BlazeDS installation (C:\blazeds\tomcat\webapps\blazeds). According to Eclipse the server is running.
My Flex project is named ReportGenTool and is located in another directory away from the Eclipse project directory.
     My root folder is: C:\Projects\workspace\ReportGenTool\WebContent
     Root URL: is http://localhost:8400/ReportGenTool/
     Context root is: /ReportGenTool/
Any idea what might be wrong? What didn't I configure that needs to be configured?
Thanks in advance.

This is not working because your router has a direct to your web server that is not through the outside interface which is needed for nat to occur, for this to work you need to setup a loopback interface as nat outside and policy route traffic to there for your server traffic
Bu if your server is internal why do you need nat at all? Can you not use bind with views that might be simpler

I was clsoing Word and suddenly everything on my desktop opened - I had to close each one and then a page requesting guest access to Cisco appeared. I cannot access any of my websites or bookmarks now. What do I do - or what did I do?

I was closing Word, was on my desktop page when suddenly all my windows on the desktop opened at once. I had to close each one and then a page requesting guest access to Cisco appeared. It required a password ( ? ) which I do not have. Now I cannot access any of my webpages or bookmarks, including mail etc. I have no idea what I might have done to cause this problem. I am not particularly savvy and don't know where to begin.

So my question is... if you took the time to read this.. why in the world did everything stop working with wi fi and out of nowhere asked me to use a blackberry data service plan?
Because, without THE BlackBerry Data Plan, you will only have use of your WiFi HotSpot browser, and that is that. No email, none of the RIM data application features like AppWorld or the BlackBerry Facebook application.
It worked at first, because you probably had leftover provisioning Service Books from the previous owner, I am guessing (you mentioned "checked with my seller).
To me, seems be working as suspected.

Not quite, you must still have a data plan for the iPhone.

Since I updated my IPad software to iOS 5.0.1 from 5.0, I cannot access some web sites. Hoy can I go back?

Since I updated my IPad software to iOS 5.0.1 from 5.0, I cannot access some web sites. How can I go back?

Sorry, you cannot downgrade iOS software.
First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appear. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I updated to OS X Yosemite but iPhoto will not download, is saying because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. Now I cannot access ANY of my photos...

If you are logged in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase iPhoto or to set up the computer if it came preinstalled then quit iPhoto, backup your iPhoto library and drag the iphoto application to the trash (do not empty the trash yet) and then go to the App store and install iPhoto
If that does not resolve contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

I cannot access any of my downloaded programs. When I click on the icon I just see the program appear for a split of a second. What can I do?

I just updated my iPad to 4.3.1 and resented with my computer. Now I cannot access any of my applications. When I click on any icon the application appears for a split second and closes down right away. How can I correct this and re-establish access to my applications?

The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. Did the update seem to go okay? When you connect the iPad up to your computer and run iTunes, does it indicate another OS update is available? Try to continue with the OS upgrades before launching apps.

Select a broken track and press ctrl-i to Get Info. Look on the summary tab for the location where iTunes "thinks" the file should be. Where is it really? Post back the two locations and I can suggest the best approach.

I just installed Yosemite. iPhoto is gone, and Photos does not open. Instead, I am prompted to update to the latest version. The App Store tells me that is not available in the US. What do I do? Cannot access any photos.
