Best way to integrate a snapshot of long-term in a Win2k3 domain controller

Hi all

It seems that one of our virtual domain controllers works as a snapshot since November 2009. I wonder how better is there to take to solve this.

First of all, a few details:

-We miss ESX3.5 U4 in a cluster of Server-3 (business license)

-The "instant DC" is a Win2k3 Standard 32-bit machine

-We have 1 other virtual DC on the network (also hosted in the cluster), and 1 physical DC/Exchange server

-Roles FSMO transferred yesterday from "SnapShot DC" to another virtual domain controller

-DC 'Snapshot' is our DHCP, the primary DNS (physical DC/trading machine is our auxiliary DNS server) and file server / printing, as well as a catalog server Global (are therefore 2 other domain controllers)

-"SnapShot DC" was P2V would last summer. The person who made the conversion did not take into account any special considerations for P2Ving a controller of domain, so we found ourselves in a State of a USN restoration that we had to get Microsoft to resolve in February of this year

I've attached a screen-cap of the folder of the server data store.

Can you recommend the best way to solve this problem?

Hello and welcome to the forums.

Wait until after hours, or maybe even a weekend and remove the snapshot on this domain controller.

Good luck!

  • What is the best way to integrate a library template?

    Hello - I would like to be able to embed a document in a page, so that our customers can fill out additional information and then to sign the agreement. I thought it was possible thanks to the creation of a widget, but I don't see a way to bind a library template file to a widget. Using the v20 the SOAP API, is the answer that I see when trying to create a widget using a model library:

    ["errorCode"] = >

    (10) a string "MISC_ERROR".

    ['errorMessage'] = >

    String (51) "models of library are not allowed the files under the name of entry."



    Is the only solution to download the actual document, and then re - download through the request to create a widget as a parameter 'file '? That seems to be a choice really bad design, for many reasons (bandwidth, for one).

    After some tests, I think I found a solution. I can create a model of widget in the admin, then the url of this widget allows to create a personalWidgetUrl, I can then put in the iframe. The only problem I found is a few undocumented API errors:

    Unexpected error API response on request createPersonalUrlWidget()

  • Best way to integrate the Macbooks with Windows AD

    Hi guys,.

    I'm really new to the Mac platform!

    I'm a windows administrator and I have around 30-40 MacBooks in my organization. I want to join all the MacBook to windows active directory and all users need to connect with their AD accounts.

    I saw an option in the client machines to join the domain. but its getting removed from the field after two or three days.

    I got to know that mac has a server version and it has a feature of Directory Service. Could one of you give me an idea about this feature, and I can use this feature to add my MacBook to Windows Active Directory.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    Mouelhi

    Welcome to the fold.  In General, if you have the AD, you do want to reinvent the wheel by also deploying OD.  While OS X Server can play a role in an AD environment, to use for authentication and authorization is not a good plan.  You end up decentralization accounts/groups/password which is what AD is there for in the first place.

    If you link and everything works for a while, I suspect that you may need to adjust the binding registration password reset.  When you bind a device to the domain, the registration of the computer saves a password in the two AD and Mac.  By default this password will be randomly pull every 14 days.  In some environments AD result is a problem where the Mac "will fall the area" exactly 14 days after the link.

    To test this theory, bind a Mac.  After binding, run this command on the Mac to set the password reset registration link forever reset:

    sudo dsconfigad - passinterval 0

    Wait 15 days.  If you are always connected to the field, it's your problem.

    Run a dsconfigad man to check other hidden options.  Not everything is presented in the directory utility, and certainly not in system preferences.

    If this isn't the issue, I suggest you look in odutil.  With this command, you can enable the logging of directory services debugging.  You can reveal the issue with the drop off the coast.

    (It has been my experience that the Mac is usually not the issue - it tends to be a DNS or the issue of time that cause the problem - are all of your Mac in sync with AD DCs for time?)

  • Best way to integrate Blog website?

    Having gotten past the obstacle of the CSS, my next project is to build a complete custom site with an integrated blog. I looked at the options of this holding from the other direction, such as customization of Wordpress insofar as it works as both site and blog. I also looked at Joomla. But these solutions, I will present more problems when I want to add additional CMS, shopping cart and other things.

    Another solution would be to create the site, and then install Wordpress in a subfolder where the Blog link on the main nav mane would connect to that. It's OK, except that now I have to perform in questions of customization with the UI Blog as navigation back to the main site. He would still have this sense of disconnection, being essentially two separate requests.

    Ideally, I would like to have the Blog just be its own page, or subfolder in the main site - but rather than simply providing a feed to this page, be able to retain all the features of the blog including the admin of Wordpress as well as RSS syndication section. Podcasts can enter the picture as well.

    Anyone has any ideas on this experience or brainstorming?  Any input appreciated!

    I would also say to take a new look at WP.  It's a little tricky to get your head around how adapt their theme to your page layout plan, but just to make a copy of the default theme and start by copying and pasting.  It should work very well.

    Hi Chaos2015,

    Could you specify if you have Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard version.

    You must turn off Acrobat from the old machine and then install on the new of a CD/DVD and then activate with the same serial key.

  • What is the best way to deliver the WebHelp output files to the development team in TFS?

    I use RoboHelp 2015 to generate WebHelp output.

    The development team want me to archive files in TFS so that they can pick up the files and integrate them into the build.

    I'm looking for some best practices here because I'm running into some issues whenever I try to check the files back in. For example, I need to manually track the files I added/renamed/deleted in the HR project.

    We discussed the following options:

    • Delete the contents of the WebHelp output folder in TFS whenever I want to check in new files.
      • This works, but doesn't seem to be a very elegant option.
    • Zip the contents of the folder of WebHelp output and archiving/retrieval of this file
      • This works well for me, but the devs have create a separate process to unzip the file whenever they generate a release, they don't care.
    • Check all files in the folder, overwrite the files with the new files, manually add the new files and then check back in.
      • This job very well, but it requires you to manually add the files whenever you check in and also leaves / the legacy of old who were removed from the HR project.

    Someone at - it other ideas about how to do this?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Mack,

    I think that the decompression of a file is a very simple action to add to a build process, it is perhaps the best way to go. But there are other options as well.

    You can check in sources in TFS and use RoboHelp with source code control. Then you include RoboHelp in the build process so that the latest sources are retrieved from TFS and aid is generated on the server. A nice solution, but still work to implement. I like this solution because I do not store an output is very useful. As long as you have the sources, you can always create new output.

    For developers, it is easier to just add all the files output in a specific folder. And you can automate this option for yourself as well. The TFS and RoboHelp can remotely control from the command line. Meaning that you can create a batch (1) file generates output from RoboHelp. (2) deletes the current aid of TFS. (3) add the new output 1 to TFS. (4) checks in changes in TFS. A single file can automate everything for you. I have used this method in the past, and once it is implemented, there is virtually no maintenance for you.

  • What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?

    Hi all

    I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

  • What is the best way of reformatting my MacBook ssd for resale?

    I'm preparing my 2015 12 '' MacBook 1.3 GHz 512 for resale.  What is the best way to erase and reformat the SSD drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    -jag

    Before you sell or give away your computer, and more the steps listed in this article to support, please follow these steps:

    1. run the Diagnostics from Apple or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do (or it should), and you won't be surprised by the results.

    2. reset the PRAM and the SMC, which may contain personal information.

    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running the utility in recovery mode firmware password.

    4. If you turn on FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.

    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.

    6. If you have created another partition of data on internal disk, remove them in disk utility.

    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the remaining data partition with the possibility of putting the data to zero. An SSD has no need to be set to zero.

    8. remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it is still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the warranty to the new owner as described in the terms and Conditions AppleCare (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

    Note also:

    You can legally or transfer almost any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. This includes OS X, so if you've switched to OS X 10.7 or later, you need to reinstall an operating system older, either from the installation media, if any, or by commissioning in recovery mode of the Internet (option-command-R start ringing.)

    The new owner will have to re-download everything software that came on the App Store, as appropriate, including updates of OS X, under her Apple ID. If you never updated applications bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) through the App Store, you can not transfer these either. The buyer must buy them. Note that iPhoto has been suspended and is no longer available for purchase.

    Why we can not find the information seen on the Toshiba site maintenance?
    Maybe we didn't get!

    Hello

    I think you're right research you didn t on the Toshiba page quite long ;)

    I have consulted the European Toshiba support page and selected in the troubleshooting category option-> Solutions to common problems.

    There I found the battery category, and then I found this article:

    * + How to configure my computer for optimal use of battery? + *
    http://www.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD5400Z60005R01.htm

    It looks like an old FAQ document in any case the fact is that all batteries lose own performance after several times several years ago, it is advisable to remove the battery from the laptop to extend the battery life. This is not necessary with the new battery and generation of laptops.

    However, many people remove the battery if the laptop works on sector (power adapter connected) This prevents the battery of standing of the charge and discharge.

  • best way to split a flat sequence

    I have a long sequence, and I need to split to encompass almost exactly half in a while loop.  What is the best way to do it?  There are a large number of stream in and out of each frame, then reconnect everything would be messy and error prone.

    It's one of the reasons sequences are not usually the best choice for an architecture program.  DataFlow may provide most of "sequence" is necessary.

    Simply remove the sequence will let connections intact dataflow.  Maybe it's all that is needed, if you are lucky.  Then you can stretch the loop on the part you want inside the loop.

    SubVIs can be a good choice for the encapsulation of the parts of the code.

    In addition, without seeing the code, it is difficult to recommend options.

    If you need to split in two and don't want to rewrite everything, try to reproduce the entire sequence.  To double in the while loop.  Remove the last half of a single sequence and the first half of the other.  If there are controls or indicators within the sequence, they get duplicated too and this can be annoying.

  • What is the best way to correct the registry errors without the use of a registry cleaner in XP?

    I am sorry to raise this issue that so many people who have asked me.  I read pages and pages of discussions on the MS forum on this subject, and without exception, all the experts said Microsoft registry cleaners are completely unnecessary and that junk in the registers has no performance impact at all.  Instead, they say, to do x, y and z.  I am running Windows XP on my desk for five years, and gradually, he got so slow it's almost unbearable.  It takes 10-15 minutes just to start, and sometimes it takes 2 minutes or more just to open a window of browser (IE8) or go to the previous page by using the arrow to the left.  Before you tell me all the things it could be, please let me say that:

    1. my PC has not always been this slow!  It is getting worse.

    2. all my Windows software is up to date.  I have automatic updates on.

    3. I have a lot of disk space, almost 75% of free space on a hard drive of 80 GB.

    4. my PC is free of viruses, spyware and Trojans.  I have McAfee antivirus running and I also sometimes run Malwarebytes and Trojan Killer, because they always find things that don't have McAfee.

    5. I defragment my hard drive on a regular basis.

    6. I regularly delete all my temporary files by using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.

    7. I have very little, if any "Add-ons".  No toolbar Yahoo or Google (or Bing!).

    8. I removed nearly every program that I start, so that they are not running in the background.

    9. I uninstalled all the programs that I don't use.

    However, I still have a slow ever-more computer.  Sometimes, when I see ads on TV to increase the speed of my PC, I download the 'free' software, and they claim to find hundreds or thousands of "registry errors.  When I look at the newspapers, I see many entries in registry for 'Netscape' and 'Google Earth', which I uninstalled years ago, as well as entries for the videos that I downloaded, seen once, and deleted a long time ago.

    So, what's the problem?  If it's not related to my registry (which Trojan Killer says has more 6 000 entries!), what else could be?  I would appreciate greatly any advice you can give, because there are dozens of companies on their touting their registry cleaners and the uninstall (for a price) programs, and after reading reviews of the MS MVPs, I'm skeptical of their claims.  Thank you.  :)

    I can't disagree with a lot of things have already been said.

    I'm willing to accept that your machine does actually takes 10 to 15 minutes on the clock. It's completely absurd.

    Some people call your "Windows Rot" problem. Becomes just the slower windows over time. It is a collection of things that are happening in the background. Yes I believe that the register contributes. Using a registry cleaner is not a "magic" solution But it can help a little.

    The PC care program/process you described is above average.  I suggest you add CCleaner. Disk Cleanup is not bad, CCleaner is better, cleaning of other stuff which does not resemble the DC. It won't be a significant difference because disk space is not your problem, but it will help a little.

    'Play' with the registry is VERY risky. If you decide to go ahead, I would say that first make you a copy of the full image backup using a utility that can be started and run from a CD/DVD. Just in case the registry cleaner breaks of your machine.

    Registry cleaners is that they take a "best estimate" to what is no longer necessary. Sometimes they think wrong. And each vacuum cleaner will clean slightly different sets of places.  If the tool does not provide a way to back up the registry before you start cleaning, do not use it. He is not careful enough.

    If vacuuming offer 'levels' of cleaning, enjoy. Open for more aggressive cleaning, with resetting and long series of normal use between cleanings.

    You are looking for a tool which also makes registry "defragmentation". The registry is a database that get disorganized by additions and deletions. Defragmentation will be re - organize and get rid of a 'lost' space, making it the smallest file, afterwards faster to read.  It is not something you need to do frequently, but since you've never done it in 5 years, it would help, after cleaning registry.

    Another place to find CPU and RAM wasted resources is Windows Services. These are small programs that start at boot time. They run in the background and provide support services to all applications or specific applications.  Many applications services are running even though you don't really need them. You can find information on which you can set by Googling for 'Windows XP hardening'. There are a lot of sites with good information. They call it hardening because by disabling unnecessary stuff, you leave less possible openings for the "bad guys" to the attack.

    Ultimately, I think your best bet will simply bite the bullet and re - install windows and all your applications. It's the best way to restore your computer to almost any performance fees factory. (It is not exactly factory fresh because you need to add a ton of Windows updates).

    Before you re-install, do copy image 1 or more full backups. At least one must be done using a tool that will easily allow you to extract the files. You data backup files separately to make it easier to restore the reinstallation. IE, copy it to a USB key.

    Many "experts" actually expect to, and do, re - install windows every 6-12 months!  I think it's a bit exaggerated, but they swear by it.

    Once you do your re - install, create a copy of the magnified image
    Install a firewall application (before the windows updates)
    Once you do all updates of windows, create a copy of the magnified image
    After that you re-install all your apps, create another copy of the complete picture.

    In this way, in the future, you have more current points to restore your computer to. It will reduce the time you spend to get back to the current configuration.

    On a 5 year old XP machine, you have probably 512 MB - 1 GB of RAM. You might also consider taking in the shop (or DIY) and bump the RAM up to at least 2 GB or better still max out.  The current versions of the applications use much more memory than they did 5 years ago. Even XP will be since he has been seriously corrected since then.
