Tom if you can wait a week or two there were also a few sessions at VMworld on this specific topic.  I would like to keep an eye on for them when they go out in public for more information as well.

  • Adobe Presenter in Adobe eLearning Suite 2 and Microsoft Office 2010 installation

    I need help to install the Adobe Presenter software. I have E-Learning Suite 2 and Microsoft Office 2010. The rest of the complete Installation of E-Learning has been made, including Adobe Presenter. When I navigate to the folder C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Presenter 7 Installer for eLS 2\7.0\en_US files and try to install the adobe_presenter_patch_v701.exe file it asks for a serial number. I enter the serial number of the E-Learning Suite in the box, but she did not accept the serial number.

  • UTL_SMTP - problem with Microsoft Exchange 2010

    Hello

    I don't know if this has already been discussed here, but I have not found a thread about it.

    We use the UTL_SMTP package in our production 10.2.0.4 database to send statistics to the Department. It works very well since we have established the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.

    The problem is that the mail comes without any content. (it has the wrong title but no content)

    We have already solved another little problem:
    -----
    ->Is the only thing that is different from the old stock exchange, you must declare the complete addresses.

    For example:
    UTL_SMTP.open_connection ("< servername >. (< domain > ', 25);    -the address of the mail server
    or
    UTL_SMTP. RCPT (mail_conn, ' < recipient > @ < domain > '); -delivery address

    Without an address complete (without domain for example name) only the old Exchange (2003) accepts emails. (although course at the internal mail to the domain-communication)
    -----

    So now the mails have arrived, but they have no content. I think there is no problem with using the UTL_SMTP package.

    The new trading system is clustered and now there are two dns entries:

    A tip to a cluster of two-server-aktiv-aktiv "HUB & CASE" that works as a balancer(my simplified sight, it is also called NLB[Network Load Balancing] Cluster) load and sends emails to one of the trees exchange new-db-server or send it to the old exchange server (if the old Exchange is even the owner of the beneficiary-"post office box"!).

    The other dumped at the old exchange server.


    The problem come just in emails with the destination to the new trading system.
    This is no a general problem, because emails since some CLI tools or other programs to the new system which arrive without problem (and with content :-)).)

    I hope someone has an idea.
    We have the same problem when we mail to a recipient whose box is the property of the new Exchange.
    So the problem will be there when we spend our 'post-boites' of the old for the new scholarship.

    Thanks in advance

    Only the second mail have content. The only difference is the additional word wrap after the subject.

    So, if I get the message in my pl/sql code to do this:

    msg_text varchar2(500) := '          --push the enter button :-)
    This is a testmail!';
    

    It works very well. So, at this point, my problem is solved I think but the workaround is not really smart.

    You need to convey what we call a body Mime (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). It comes from "+ parts +". The first part is the e-mail message header. This includes the object, the name of the reader mail that created the mail, the mail message id, since and to the fields, date and so on (which many optional).

    To do a single white as between the parties. If after this part of the header, it must be a blank line. After that the next part can be written - generally the e-mail of the body itself (or one of several parts of the body of the email).

    UTL_TCP.CRLF offers the line of food/empty line required for you. He sample code I posted in {message identifier: = 4593735} that should work against most / all SMTP servers (assuming that the valid addresses are provided) - it also does not attempt to send the body complete Mime parameter via a single command. Open_data(), write_data() , and close_data() calls are used instead. This ensures the best control by separating the different lines and "body parts" of the Mime message.

  • Apple and Microsoft Exchange calendar

    For two days my calendar from Apple on my Macbook does not synchronize the calendar more with my Microsoft Exchange entries account (still works with my iPhone 6 and iPad Pro). Any advice, or can only Apple solve this puzzle? Error message is

    There was an error trying to send your changes to the exchange server.

    I thought I was the only one with the problem. I get the exact same message. I was on the phone all day with the company HE's trying to find a cause, without success. Your message feeds my suspicion that it was caused by 10.11.4 update. Everything was perfect before synchronization. Have you received and support? Any guidance? Any possible solution?

    I tried all the usual steps to disable, remove and reinstall the Exchange account, but the error persists. iPad and iPhone sync fine. iMAC and MacBook are not.

    help required

    I've set up a test network for the practice of sending e-mail messages between

    Send servers in windows 2000 domains different

    (see attachment for the network layout) is what I'm trying to achieve

    to send messages to a user in the field of cyote.com

    ([email protected] / * /) located behind a firewall pix 501 to a user

    the area of acme.com ([email protected] / * /) located behind a pix 515

    network firewall has been implemented so that messages from freds for barney

    are sent to an email server front-end dmz based acme.com

    and are then transmitted by proxy to the backend mail server where is the mailbox of barney

    located where resides on the inside interface of the firewall 515.

    frontend and backend servers are members of the same active directory

    area and therefore, there should be no problem of received messages to the

    front-end server relayed to the back-end server.

    but the problem I had is that it does not work when I send a message

    Fred barney outlook on freds computer (xp-1) tells me that the message

    has been sent but it never happens to the barneys mailbox there is no error message

    Nowhere on sending messages, so I'm not sure that is the problem

    lies with the firewall 501 does not allow messages through or the firewall 515

    not allowing messages through.

    now I just read that there are problems with microsoft exchange

    (in this case the Exchange 2000 with service pack 3 applied) in conjunction

    with cisco firewalls, but my study guide is not very next on

    How to solve.

    so this a cry for I help have been working on it for 2 weeks and have not been

    to fix this anyone know what I should do to firewalls

    to get this working any help will be greatly appreciated.

    PS

    Outlook web app through the front-end server to barneys mailbox works

    fine (if a little slow)

    the pix 501 is running ios 6.3 (4) and the 515 is running ios 7.0 (4)

    concerning

    Melvyn Brown

    A simple test would be to telnet from fred's PC to the IP address of the intermediate zone "telnet x.x.x.x 25' if that allows you through this part is good. Move to the next piece of the puzzle.

    As shown previously to enter ' no fixup not protocol smtp 25' to the pix.

  • Integration of TMSXE with Service Pack 3 for Microsoft Exchange 2010

    Hello, we have a TMS 14.3.2, TMSXE 3.1.3 version and Exchange 2010 SP3 with the latest rollup update RU4.

    Do we still need to apply the limitation on the Exchange for Exchange 2010SP3 RU4 server policy configuration?.  Installation TMSXE document shows that it applies to Exchange 2010 SP1.

    Are there specific configuration for Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4 settings?

    Yes, the throttling policy applies - the reference SP1 seems to me when the limitation has been enabled on Exchange.

    You can use the scheduled throttling policy.  Next version of the solution offers impersonation as an alternative, which does not require the throttling policy.

  • Is Windows 8 Pro and Microsoft Office 2010 license Transferrable to new PC (during the withdrawal of the old PC)

    Hello

    I had bought Windows 8 Pro as part of the upgrade offer in 2012.

    My current desktop PC gives signs of imminent failure. So I intend to mount my own PC and all ignoring the old one.

    My question is if I can transfer the current licence to the new office.

    What is the procedure for the transfer of the Windows 8 Pro and Microsoft Office license to new PC?

    Thank you and best regards,

    UNNI

    Yes, you can transfer the two as long as they are copies of the retail sale and do not come pre-installed on the machine.

    To waive the license of the machine, you can just format the machine or uninstall the license of Windows 8.

    To proceed to reinstall Windows 8 on the new computer and restart phone.

    Please note:

    To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

    You can reinstall of Office 2010 and also reactivate by phone:

  • In-Guest iSCSI for Exchange 2010

    Hi, we just built and are ready to go into production with Exchange 2010 using LUNS in guest through the card Microsoft iSCSI initiator iSCSI separate network for iSCSI etc. Load tested with JetStress and everything seems fine. We just found out as snapshots are not supported with iSCSI in guest so we are concerned that the other things work or be taken in charge or another, i.e. of vmotion. So, does anyone know if we lose any other characteristic, and we need to change our minds and using ESX iSCSI? I read pieces on being comparable, that we stuck with a guest performance because that's what we know with our existing Exchange 2007 environment (physical). If we must change, is it simple?

    Hey everyone who is following this thread or found via Google.  It is important to understand what is and is not supported when you are running Exchange on a virtual machine.

    To be absolutely clear, combining Exchange 2010 DAG and migration technologies such as vMotion technology is supported.  You must ensure that you are running at least Exchange 2010 SP1 as well as a version of vSphere that sits on the server virtualization Validation program.

    I think that the link was already posted, but here is the final link:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/Exchange/archive/2011/05/16/announcing-enhanced-hardware-virtualization-support-for-Exchange-2010.aspx

    More specifically, since the post above (in bold italics):

    Combining Exchange 2010 high availability solutions (database availability groups (DAG)) with hypervisor clustering high availability and migration solutions that will be moving or automatically failover servers for mailboxes that are members of a DAG between clustered root servers, is now supported.

    Improved, that we did in Exchange Server 2010 SP1, with more comprehensive tests of Exchange 2010 in an environment that is virtualized, we are pleased to offer this additional deployment flexibility to our customers. Management of updated support applies to any provider of hardware virtualization that participate in the Windows Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP).

    Logiboy123, can you provide any documents to support the statement that Microsoft does not support this configuration?  The above quotes are directly from Microsoft and are very clear that they support not only the migration of Microsoft technology, but also similar to any other provider of the hypervisor technology, provided that they are in the SVVP program.

    Since vSphere is part of the SVVP, Microsoft has extended support for the technologies of migration such as vMotion, in addition to their own Live Migration.  Of course, simply support something does not automatically make it works.  If you want knots vMotion DAG works correctly, you might have settings described in this blog post extended the cluster heartbeat timeout (also a fully supported configuration change):

    http://www.thelowercasew.com/vSphere-and-Exchange-Admins-can-live-in-harmony-Microsoft-finally-supports-HA-and-VMotion

    To answer the original question in this post, using the Protocol in-guest iSCSI is supported and with vMotion in this configuration is supported as well.  You're not really 'give up whatever it is' using this configuration well so if it meets your needs, I would stick with it.  I prefer generally VMFS just because of the flexibility it offers, but all the world has different requirements and I have absolutely no problem with guest iSCSI if your organization requires it.

    Do not forget that whatever configuration, snapshots of virtual machine are not supported for Exchange. Here is another post which goes into detail on it and cover the declaration of support for Microsoft Exchange 2010 snapshots and machine virtual: http://www.thelowercasew.com/virtual-machine-snapshots-and-tier-1-apps-not-always-supported

    So in general, I would say that provided you are running the correct versions of Exchange and vSphere must then take full advantage of your configuration to use features like vMotion and HA without problem.  If you adjust your settings accordingly cluster heartbeat timeout, you should have no problem using vMotion with your knots of DAG.

  • I downloaded the latest plugin for Microsoft Office 2010. The Plugin Check page still lists it. Why?

    The Plugin Check page lists Microsoft Office 2010 with a search button. I clicked and I was redirected to a page where I would like to download the Microsoft 2010 plugin. I thought I did it (with a bunch of unnecessary waste). I went to the Plugin Check page and Microsoft Office 2010 was still there. Why?

    Mozilla only stores the details of the latest version of a small number of plugins, these being the most widely used plugins such as Flash and Adobe Acrobat. For these plugins analysis will show if you have the latest version.

    For other plugins, including the Microsoft Office plugin, Mozilla does not have details of the latest version and instead it displays a search button, that when clicked will perform a Google search. It displays the search button even if you have the latest version of the plugin.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Yahoo and Microsoft Exhange accounts on the same phone

    I just bought my first BlackBerry - BB 9000 "BOLD". It was easy to get set up to send and receive on my Yahoo account. After back and forth between AT & T and Microsoft Exchange server support, on behalf of my work is finally send and receive of the BB. However - the two work emails Yahoo go to the folder of Message and Yahoo emails go to the Yahoo folder as well. But, work emails do not go in the work e-mail folder. How can I fix it?

    By default, BES email is made only in posts emails BIS icon/App are placed in their own icons, but they are still contained in the main Messages application. This is how it works by default. It is not redundant - rather, think that Messages like the Tote place, with the BIS independent icons being a filter, traction (from message) to them only messages that relate to them... but if you act on an e-mail (read, delete, etc.) in one, the change will be reflected in the other.

    Your BES Admin can push an E-mail BES icon only to your device. This solution is free, but must be conducted at the level of the BES server and will affect all users on the BES server.

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB15003

    Or you can get the application to empower BES Inbox. This solution costs (per user), but does not require a change at the server level and affects only a single user.

    http://www.getempower.com/Empower_BES_MailBox.php

    Neither solution would do anything on Messages - will continue to contain what it contains today. All they will do is activate an additional icon on your home screen that is a filter for your BES emails only. You can hide or move the Messages icon/app out of the way, but beware - there are more that just the emails that arrive in Messages... it will come a day when you have a new message indicator and only by digging through Messages that you will be able to find this message.

    I hope this helps explain how it all works!

    Good luck!
