A person called me and told me he was calling for help me to correct a mistake that had occurred on my laptop. do I trust him and follow his instructions?

I had a couple of calls from a man "not in these parts" by saying he was calling for help to correct an error on my laptop. I had a few mistakes, not so bad, but I need to reconnect a lot! Do I trust him and follow his instructions?

Do I trust him and follow his instructions?
 
No! This is a phishing scam. How anyone but you know that you had problems?

  • General call for help (w/ESXi 5 Ent vServer more)

    Hello

    I hate to feel that helpless and have to put up a post like this one. I have been using Xen (no XenServer Xen just) for a number of years and have been asked to evaluate ESXi 5 as a possible solution, because a client can go this route in order to obtain LEED certification (zero positions clients, virtualisation, virtualization, cloud, public and private, etc.)

    It is in the Financial Services space, and we are currently using Xen XCP on individual servers so that a small group/team share the same server (s). We have done no HA, failover, clustering, etc., but we must move in this direction.

    I have a trial license, but also a company full more license (signed for the eval after that I got the Ent +). I know it is not sensible, but we a sub-affiliate of a very big client VMware Enterprise, then we were given a license key to use for our assessment (6 months).

    All I want to do is build a simple HA cluster through a multiple node machine - and then have it failover to a second machine (the two are exactly the same). As much as I know at this point is that I need vcenter Server to manage clusters & several hosts, but we do not have a domain, don't use AD (nor we want to) and we use hardly any Windows operating system. To complicate still, two groups will have to be in a sandbox environment, while the other two groups not - but none of the machines will never hit the internet. (which means that you VPN into a machine and remote desktop then in your virtual machine from the inside the VPN)

    So we do not AD, we do not have a domain, most of our BONES ' are are Ubuntu Server (Linux CLI)

    Is there video tutorials in line/youtube? Is it possible to Setup? I MSDN so I can easily fool around with AD + DNS if I need to, but don't currently use us and want to avoid at all costs.

    I'm not most AD/DNS/Server 2008 smart person out there, but I could not yet find installation tutorials easier to try the 'standard' method to install it gave.

    My demonstration/test environment consists of 4 Dell T5500 positions, each with 72 GB of RAM, 2 identical x 6-core CPU (with HT) and an array of 3-drive RAID5 HARD on a LSI HW raid card. each machine has 2 x dual port 10 G NIC and a single 1 gig NIC quad (that we will use in production). I would build two HA clusters, two machines for each and I would like to have a failover cluster on the other.

    The machines are physiclly located in my office (not rack-mounted, etc.).

    If someone could point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.

    THX!

    Can I use a domain name (false) for the installation process, but then NOT use AD for my virtual machines? (I assume that you can simply because a Linux OS would not be in the announcement)

    Yes, it's fine.

  • VIEW very difficult to write (call for help)

    I was stuck for many hours on this problem...

    Suppose you have two orthogonal tables that follow the same inventory *. For example, we follow by lot or batch code and a securities regardless of status (available, reserved, wedge, etc...).
    create table lot (skuid varchar2(10),qty number, lot varchar2(10));
    insert into lot (skuid, qty, lot) values ('SKUA', 3, 'A5');
    insert into lot (skuid, qty, lot) values ('SKUA', 4, 'A10');
    insert into lot (skuid, qty, lot) values ('SKUA', 1, 'A11');
    
    
    create table status (skuid varchar2(10),qty number, status varchar2(10));
    insert into status (skuid, qty, status) values ('SKUA', 5, 'AVAIL');
    insert into status (skuid, qty, status) values ('SKUA', 1, 'RES');
    insert into status (skuid, qty, status) values ('SKUA', 2, 'HOLD');
    Since it is probably a very bad way to model these data (and for many other reasons...) the challenge is to write a view that makes all this information available in a single view.

    What these paintings looks like now:
    SQL> select * from lot;
    
    SKUID             QTY LOT
    ---------- ---------- ----------
    SKUA                3 A5
    SKUA                4 A10
    SKUA                1 A11
    
    SQL> select * from status;
    
    SKUID             QTY STATUS
    ---------- ---------- ----------
    SKUA                5 AVAIL
    SKUA                1 RES
    SKUA                2 HOLD
    Should look like this in the *(desired output of view) view: *
    SKUID          QTY           LOT            STATUS
    ----------     --------      ----------     --------
    SKUA           3             A5             AVAIL
    SKUA           2             A10            AVAIL
    SKUA           1             A10            RES
    SKUA           1             A10            HOLD
    SKUA           1             A11            HOLD
    What I did is sorted by LOT and kept a total run of each BATCH, because the quantity consumed the STATE table until each BATCH/STATUS is consumed by the view.

    It is simple and intuitive for a human or program, but I really struggled to try this in SQL. Intuitively, I feel I must join the tables (knowing I'll get a Cartesian product) and do the math to determine the quantities and then to an external selection, throw the Cartesian lines that I didn't need (with the quantity calculated from 0). I thought that this would be certainly solvable using analytical functions to keep the totals accumulated by STATUS and by the draw, if I join on the two tables as a starting point, but the problem is too circular... analytical columns depend on the themselves (or the lag() of themselves). I'm doubting it's possible with the analytical functions. Also considered to be CONNECT BY on the join of the tables of SKUID, but does not seem to fit...

    Oh,... a 'note' more... the view should be achievable on * 8i *.

    PL/SQL is necessary? (I'd rather she be seen independent SQL without custom function calls, but if this is impossible, be it). More accurately, I would prefer it to be as effective as possible, so that means that only SQL or PL/SQL.


    If anyone can solve this?

    Hello

    The following solution makes a separate line for each element (such as quantity) and re-handset then using GROUP BY.

    I made a few assumptions about the order.
    I guess the lots are sorted by the first character (sort as a string), then by the numerical value of the other characters. In other words, if you had much 'B1', he would come after much "A11" (because of the first letter), but much "A5" comes before "A10" and "A11" (because of the digital part). You will need to adjust the ORDER BY clause that is analytic in the subquery lr if I guessed wrong.
    I assumed that the status is ordered exactly as it appears in the output: 'ENJOY '.< 'res'="">< 'hold'.="" again,="" if="" i="" guessed="" wrong,="" change="" the="" order="" by="" clause="" in="" sub-query="">

    Updated 9-12 volume license (first mistake).  I was told we could keep volume licensing - went to write in the first person, and it is demanding an adobe ID to register and then does not recognize the license key.  Cannot talk to anyone at Adobe, because all no automated, it seems, no humans.  Any ideas?

    Also, the email addresses are confused for licenses.  Adobe 9 is under an e-mail and the upgrade is another.  Adobe doesn't have more than customer either only the sales of services.  I'm ready to call the dealer and tell him that she be reimbursed.

    Hi Robin,

    Adobe has the customer service...  The quick/more easier way to communicate with them is usually via live online chat, although it cannot be opened permanently.  Is that what you meant by "waiting on live help for 10 minutes"?

  • HP wireless e-all-in-one B110: HP printer does not not despite all new inks and following the instructions any catch-up

    I followed all the advice given but nothing helped, including the one given on the printer itself, but I just cannot print from my Mac.  Scanning directly from the printer is good, but not from the computer. This problem started only today.

    More than 80 and can not think what else to do! Please can you help me? Thank you.

    Hi Sirodyam ,

    If the printer was working with the previous black cartridge, I think it's a problem with the black cartridge and it will need to be replaced, but I've provided a few steps more, you can try first. Check the date on the cartridge to make sure it is in warranty you have purchased. May be the oldest stock of cartridge.

    If you had the issue before replacing the black cartridge, you could clean the contacts on the cartridge and the vent. Also, make sure the tab on the cartridge. ' Incident affecting an ink cartridge: following print cartridges appear to be missing or corrupt "views for HP Photosmart more e-all-in-one printer series (B210). " Do not take into account the title.

    Here is a document to manually clean the print head. "Incompatible print head," 'Printhead missing or damaged,' or 'Print head problem' displays for HP Photosmart Wireless e-All-in-One Printer Series (B110). Do not take into account the title.

    I hope this helps.

    If you are still not able to print in black, call our technical support at the 800-474-6836 and inquire about a replacement cartridge please.
