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

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?)

    I am preparing a model for an encyclopedia project, the encyclopedia will be in addition to 10000 pages, so what is the best way to place the images (Photos, graphic illustration,... etc) with a legend?

    The problem that when I change the text; the image does not move with it, and when I place it in the text, it is difficult to control text flow.

    Please help

    I think so, but it can be a little weird, if the position of the anchor is on the second page of a two page spread. Really, I jumped in to suggest the image and the legend of consolidation before anchoring.

    The only thing to try would be to paint in color with a large soft brush to a low opacity.

  • What is the best way for a J2EE developer with oracle?

    Hello

    I am a J2EE developer, for the moment I'm working in a commercial bank as an enterprise application developer. Java, I learned when I was following a degree of local COMPUTER and with the help of books, work at my place of work and the internet, today I develop applications with JSP, Servlets, JSF2.0, EJB3.0 and third-party J2EE part libraries JSF etc (I also develop software using other programming languages such as Asp.net, c# .net, etc. WPF, but I prefer to be in the path of java). Other than that, I also work as the designer of the user interface of most of our applications.

    I have the skills and practice after having worked for 4 years as a developer of web/enterprise applications & UI designer, but now I have to focus on some grades of paper and so I do BCS.

    Now, I want to be a professional in the Oracle java path, and I need to know what is the best way, I choose to go with Oracle. I finished my SCJP courses, but did not take the exams, because there were rumors that Oracle will clear these reviews in the future. I am interested in Oracle university, but I'm unable to even think about it as I live in Sri Lanka and is not only a large part of the wealth to go to the USA and join.

    So I really appreciate if any professional Oracle could suggest me the best educational path based on what I mentioned about my technical and professional training. Because I have a dream to join Oracle a day as an employee and be a good contributor on the same forum, which I get help today!

    :-)

    Thank you!!!

    As you can see on our Web site, Oracle did not retire Java certifications. You can browse through the available certifications and I hope to help determine your path.

    Thanks in advance.

    Here are a few methods:

    • Run msconfig.exe, and then uncheck the startup tasks that you don't need. No matter what you disable, Windows always starts.
    • Use a light virus scanner, for example Microsoft Security Essentials.
    • Replace your magnetic drive with a Solid State Disk (SSD)
  • Amazon Cloud Player or Google Reader works on the Surface with Windows RT?

    Amazon Cloud Player or Google Reader works on the Surface with Windows RT?

    I think that the answer is no, and if yes, what are the types of applications/services that are likely to be developed for the Surface (Windows RT) Finally?
    In addition, these things (Amazon Cloud Player and Google Drive) will be available on the version of Windows 8 fantasy of the Surface when it comes out?
    A Surface of Windows, I bought for my mother and I did not open and I just check all these things. A laptop is perhaps better for her, but I have little that this is best for some reason any.
    Thank you.
     
    Original title: amazon cloud player

    The Surface Pro is a full PC and runs Windows 8, you can install the Amazon downloader and download the song files as you do now on a regular PC. Surface RT runs Windows RT and does not run as many different applications such as Surface Pro.

    You can play songs streamed from the web version of Amazon Cloud Player on Windows 8 and Windows RT. Currently, I'm not aware of any way to download songs from Amazon directly on Windows RT. You will first need to download them on a normal PC and then copy them to the Surface RT if you want to listen to the songs without a network connection.

    There is no Google Drive for Windows RT application so far, but Microsoft did something similar, called SkyDrive.

    In addition, just for the record it is a Kindle for Windows 8 and Windows RT application, so that you can read your Kindle eBooks.

    I speak from experience, having recently purchased a Surface RT to play with. I hope this helps.

  • What is the best way to move the data from the app and Server data structures?

    Hi guys,.

    I developed my application locally with Apex 4.2 and Oracle 11 g XE on Windows 7. Not far away, it is time to move the application to a server Oracle Apex. I guess that Exim is the way to go app. But what about the APA tables and data (tables/as 'customer' and 'account' created specially for the application)? I've been using a modeling tool, so I can run a DDL script to create the database server data structures. What is the best way to move the application data on the server? Is it possible to move the structures and data in a single process?

    Thank you
    Kim

    There is probably another way to get here, but in Developer SQL, on the navigation tree, expand objects until your table, right-click, and then click EXPORT... you will see all the options. It is a tedious process and it sucks IMO, but yes, it works. This is zero especially because 1) it's a table at a time, 2) If your data model is robust and has constraints and sequences and triggers, then you will need to disable all for the insert and we hope you can re-enable constraints, etc. without hitch (good luck, unless you have only a handful of tables)

    I prefer to use the oracle EXP command-line to export an entire schema, then the server target, I use IMP to import the schema. In this way, it is almost true. This makes the dirty life if you develop multiple applications in a single schema, and I felt pain - however - it is much easier to drop the tables and other objects is to create them! (thus, even if the process of EXP/IMP moved more than you wanted to "move".. blow everything you don't want on the target after the fact...)

    You can use method datapump oracle too.

    If not, what can be done, IF you have access to both servers of your instance of SQL developer (or if you can tnsping both already from the command line, you can use SQL * MORE), is to run a script that will identify the objects of your applications apex (usually by the prefix for the names of objects, such as % EBA_PROJ_ etc.) and do all the manual work for you. I've created a script that does just that so that I can pass data from dev to prod servers on a dblink. It is difficult because of the order that must be executed to disable constraints and then turn it back on and of course, more complicated if don't always precede you ALL your "objects demand '... (tables, views, triggers, sequences, functions, procs, indexes, etc.)

  • What is the best way to create the USER variable in BI applications?

    I just installled BI Apps and try to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11 g

    We have the USER variable that is already defined in the RPD to BI applications.

    In the security context init EBS block, I need to set the USER variable, but when I would define it it... He said * 'USER' has already been defined in the variable "authentication." "" USER. "

    What is the best way to create the variable USER security context of EBS init block?

    (1) remove the existing USER variable and then set a new (in this case, all the places where the variable USER is getting used to the RPD would become < missing >)
    And told me that he shouldn't do.

    Let me know how it is possible.

    Thank you
    Ashish

    Disable the existing Init block and then double-click the USER variable and press NEW to create the new Init block

    Your iCloud and any IMAP will be synchronized. You can connect with one another on the MacBook Apple ID, or you can turn off sync iCloud and IMAP account.

    Uncheck the items you don't want not synchronized.

  • Best way to update the individual rows of a Table?

    I took a quick glance at a few examples, but did not get a clarification on this.  I am looking to have something close to a listbox control or the table to where I can update just one column of values to line a 1 time per second pace.  I'm looking to display our acquisition of data values in a table or a listbox control.  The single list box seemed to work well for that, but I couldn't use the row headers to list the names of channel beside the channel values.  I thought to link the values of cursor in two areas of list to do this, but did not find any info on it for the single list box.

    I have a few questions:

    (1) I have a 1 d table to where I want to use this data to constantly update the first column (with a multitude of lines) of a table.  I'm looking for the best route to not take too much time for treatment by doing this.

    What is the best way to update the individual rows of a table?   Invoke the node "Value of the cell value"... or is there another method?

    (2) why is that, after each iteration else, row values are deleted?

    Also, for adding additional channels originally arrray... it is better to use the 'Array' subset then the function "Construct the table" or function "Subset of the table" and "insert table"?

    See the attached example.

    Thank you.

    Jeff· Þ· Bohrer says:

    Classic race condition.  dump the loop and node-p and just wire the 2D table on the terminal Board. !

    I don't see the race condition.  What I see is the table once the last element has been written for it all run the oil.  I saw looked it with point culminating performance on.

    But I agree entirely with writing to the Terminal.  It is a 1 d array, so you will need to use an array of generation and convert a 2D array in order so that he could write correctly.
