Can you run OS X on an Amazon EC2 instance? It'd be nice to "rent" an OS X computer.
Here's what I would do manually:
- Log onto a server with Account1 to create its Windows profile.
- Start Internet Explorer. Click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Uncheck "Check for publisher's certificate revocation" and click OK. This updates "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing\State".
I'd like to somehow automate the above process so that I don't have to login to the servers, but still apply the setting to all users. (Using a GPO would work, but isn't an option.)
- Is there a way to simulate a user login and set their HKCU value?
- Is there a way to at least automatically log somebody onto a server and set the vlaue?
We need to grant a service ID the Replicating Directory Changes to Active Directory. People are concerned that we might accidentally let the service ID write data in Active Directory, or have somebody abuse the service ID and change Active Directory data.
Does somebody know what rights are part of "Replicating Directory Changes?"
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 HyperV machine. I had to restore it to an old snapshot, and now I'm getting the following error when logging in through remote desktop using a domain ID:
"the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"
I tried running
netdom resetpwd /s:server.company.lab /ud:na\domainAdminId /pd:password
But it didn't help. I tried resetting the password and rebooting the server, but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
I just need a download link to the SharePoint 2010 Snap-In for PowerShell 2.0. All of my searches find instructions on how to use it, but not download it.
In my Windows EC2 instance I have 3 drive: C, D, and E.
- C: 30 GB
- D: 1 GB
- E: 1 GB
In my AWS console, I have the following volumes:
- vol-e0059988 (1 GB)
- vol-ec059984 (1 GB)
- vol-ea059982 (30 GB)
How do I know which volume my D and E drive are attached to?
We have several WSS Servers:
- WSS1
- WSS2
- WSS3
- WSS4
SharePoint thinks that Central Administration is on WSS3 and that it can be access via SSL on port 22641. The problem is that central administration is not there. It was removed using the config wizard. We removed central admin from all servers to clean everything out, and we tried installing Central Admin on WSS1. The alternate access mappings still point to central admin on WSS3. We tried deleting the alternate access mappings, but SharePoint won't let you delete central admin's mapping. Later, we removed central admin from all of our servers and tried creating the Central Admin website on WSS3, where SharePoint already thinks it is. But for some reason SharePoint is creating the alternate access mappings using SSL, and we don't have a certificate for the server.
- Why is SharePoint creating alternate access mappings routing an https internal URL by default?
- How can we move central administration to a new server?
We are using WSS 3.0.
It's strange. I can upload a document named 47k.txt that is 47,297 bytes using the "Multiple Document Upload" feature. If I do any of the following to the file, the upload fails:
- Add a single character to the end of the text file
- Add a character to the file name (e.g. 47kx.txt)
- Put the file in a subfolder (thereby increasing the total length of the file path)
This is the error I get in the SharePoint logs:
Category: General
Event ID: 8jzm
Level: High
Message: #90012: An error was encountered while processing files on the server.
Try uploading one file at a time by using the single upload page.
The same error is reported in a message box on the client side.
Does anybody know why this would happen?
EDIT: This breaks when uploading a single file over 47,297 bytes, or multiple files whose file sizes together are greater than about 47k. So, I could successfully upload 20 files that are all 1k, but the upload fails if I tried to upload a 10k file and a 40k file at the same time.
If I browse to my site, I get a 500 "internal server error." However, if I SSH into my server and go to my site's folder and run "python mysite.fcgi" I see the HTML rendered fine. Obviously, something is wrong, but I'm not sure what.
Here is my .htaccess file:
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(static/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
Here is my mysite.fcgi file:
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, "/kunden/homepages/34/[mydir]/htdocs/projects/django")
sys.path.insert(1, "/kunden/homepages/34/[mydir]/lib/python/site-packages")
os.chdir("/kunden/homepages/34/[mydir]/htdocs/projects/django/mysite")
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi
runfastcgi(["method=threaded", "daemonize=false"])
I'm setting this up on 1and1. It has been a pain, but I think I'm close.
Here is what some users are doing:
- Checkout a document from SharePoint
- Edit the document in Office (e.g. Excel or PowerPoint)
- Save the document.
- Check-in the document
The document library is versioned, so SharePoint creates a new version of the document. However, when the users open up the document again, the changes they made are not there. It is as if they just uploaded a copy of the previous version. What could be casuing this, and how can we fix it?
Other details:
- Approval is required on the list, but all users editing documents have the ability to see documents in the draft state.
- It seems to only happen to certain users on certain documents
The situation is going to come up when somebody deletes their site colleciton and wants it to be restored. But how can we tell what content database the site was in so that we can restore from a database backup?
We have a lot of people in our company: employees, contractors, people in joint ventures, etc. So, we want to control access to our intranet. To do that, we need to be able to prevent people in SharePoint from granting access to "Authenticated Users." Is there a way to do this?
One way it seems feasible to do this is to deny access to Authenticated Users in web application policy, but that seems like it would override everything else, basically preventing anyone from accessing SharePoint. I may be wrong.
I know I can ping a server name and determine the IP address. But are there commands I can use to determine the subnet? I'm using Windows XP.
Is it possible to script commands using batch commands, VBScript, or anything else? I need to modify a few DCOM components to grant permissions to local groups.
At times I have to connect to work through a VPN, and sometimes the connection is slow. However, I've noticed that when the network is slow, EVERYTHING on the computer is slow. For example, navigating around my local C: drive is slow, even though nothing should be going across the network. It can take up to 10 seconds for the context menu to come up if I right-click on a folder. It takes another 5 seconds to navigate to a subfolder. When I disconnect from the network, I can still access everything on my local machine, and everything is MUCH faster.
Does anybody know why this happens, and is there a way to fix it?
Is there a way to script the creation of an IIS 6 website? I don't have access to powershell, so it would have to use regular commands, or cscript scripts.
How do I put a computer into an Active Directory machine group?
I have server INTRANET1 and it needs to be in the intranet.gpo.mg machine group.
** EDIT **
So, I used the dsa.msc tool to search for my computer name. I right-clicked on the computer, and chose Properties. There is a tab called "Member of." I went to the "Member of" tab and searched for the intranet.gpo.mg group and added it to the server.
So, it's not terribly difficult to host a website from home. It doesn't seem to make sense to pay a 3rd party to host some low traffic websites, so in some cases hosting from your home computer makes sense .But maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture.
Here are some of the pitfalls I can think of:
- Dynamic IP address can bring the website down temporarily
- Power can go out for extended periods of time
- Internet provider can go down easier
- Limited bandwidth and bandwidth caps by ISP
- Potential contract issues with ISP not allowing website hosting
Are there others?
Every time I launch the shortcut to the VMWare Infrustructure Web Access page I get a message in IE7 asking me to choose a digital certificate. I don't have any digital certificates, so I click "OK" or "Cancel"--it doesn't matter which. I'm taken to a screen that says, "There is a problem with this website's security certificate." I have to click "Continue to this website (not recommended)." I'm prompted again to choose a digital certificate, I don't select anything, and click "OK." I'm then prompted to enter my username and password, which I do, and I can finally login.
Everything works, but the IE7 toolbar does tell me there's a certificate error.
Untrusted Certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website
was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
This problem may indicate an attempt to fool you or
intercept any data you send to the server. We
recommend that you close this webpage.
I click the certificate error and choose the "Install Certificate" option and restart IE, but the error remains.
The entire process is annoying every time I want to manage a virtual machine. Does anybody know how to fix this?
We have to do a lot of SharePoint testing. It would be nice to be able to click a button and deploy a new virtual machine configured as a single server farm. Does anybody have a way to do this with VMWare ESX?
You can't just copy the virtual hard drive and rename the server--SharePoint does not really like being renamed. Is there a way to script the entire build of the server?
