NAP 802.1x deploy on thousand of hosts, not enough vlan switching switches...
Reply:
You are correct that multiple hosts on a single port can result in problems with 802.1X. You might be interested to look at 802.1X-REV, which will have better support for multiple users on the same port. Another possibility is per-user ACLs.

I am also aware that the Cisco 2960 and 3560 series has the same feature but I prefer the HP since it is cheaper. The only problem is all users have to be on the same VLAN since an unmanaged switch doesn't handle VLAN tagging.

Reply:
surprised to hear that multiple authentications per port on 2910AL works for you; the port doesn't locked up when 1 of the users failed authentication? i'll give this a try on the 3550 without vlan and see how it goes; it didn't work in vlan case, i've tried this.
i guess not having vlans really defeats the purpose of NAP, how will non-compliant clients be quarantine into restricted networks, to get updates, etc...?

Is the multiport authentication issue true as of today (2011) with latest NPS (2008 R2) and CISCO 2960 switches IOS versions?
(our PCs are networked directly into CISCO IP Phones (7942)....and indeed the Switch ports become locked when a second authentication is made)

I had to do some 802.1x related task few weeks back, so just had some info to share
I don't have a 2960, so don't know about this model, but for cisco: 3550, sg-200, 2950, I've downloaded and loaded the latest ios (version listed below), and multiple client per port is still not working. I also had difficult finding dot1x switch models with 802.1x-2010 or 802.1x-REV support.
The netgear fsm726v1 is interesting, it dot1x port control have a "Auto (per mac)" and "Auto (per port)" settings. I couldn't find in documentation what "Auto (per mac)" does, but at this setting, client are authenticated but traffic would not flow thru. I've wasted 2 weeks waiting for support but they still didn't answer my question on this topic: "Auto (per mac)" .

Setting up a linked server from SQL Server 2008 R2 Win 7 64 bits to a Navision Attain 3.6 32 bit
Hello,
I have to create and document the creation of a linked server between SQL Server and a Navision Attain 3.6 32 bits database.
The situation is as followed:
*SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on a Win 7 64 bits
*Navision attain 3.6 32 bits installed on a Windows XP VM (the vm sits on the Win 7 machine)
*Database file for Navision sits on D-drive of the Win 7 machine
I have the odbc driver for the Navision installed (both on the VM as on Win 7) but when I try to configure it the obdcad32 in Syswow64 stops responding.
Is there a way to configure the ODBC to work on the Win7.
Cheers

Hello,
Here is some of my experiences with linked servers.
On the server that houses SQL Server x64 you must be utilizing an ODBC/OLEDB driver that is 64-bit for the linked servers to function. The 64-bit ODBC/OLEDB driver will communicate with the server that houses the other database server that is either 32-bit or 64-bit. I have had no success with SQL Server x64 linked servers using a 32-bit ODBC/OLEDB driver.
With that said a 32-bit ODBC/OLEDB driver could be utilized in a 32-bit SSIS package.
I hope this helps.

It makes sense and it doesn't make sense.
It makes sense cause I had to do the same thing last year to get MS reports working on an Oracle database, which was 32 bits.
Also makes sense that a 32bit system can't work with a 64bit 'connector'.
What doesn't make sense to me is why can't the 64 bit one work with 32 bit, I would suspect whatever was in the 32 bit is still in the 64 bit.
------------------------------------
Reply:
You have SQL Server x64 installed - that means that the database engine is 64-bit therefore it can only utilize 64-bit components like ODBC/OLEDB. When I mention SSIS can use a 32-bit driver that is because SSIS is a separate application that has a 64-bit runtime and a 32-bit runtime. The 64-bit runtime cannot access 32-bit components and the 32-bit runtime cannot access 64-bit components. If you would like a further explanation of x64 vs. x32 then take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#32-bit_vs_64-bit.
I believe from what you describe with MS Reports that the application was 32-bit and therefore could utilize the 32-bit ODBC/OLEDB connection.

Windows 7 Network Application's Slow Performance.
We have a foxpro application which is hosted on a file server running server 2003 and the databsae as well(database is SQl server 2005). Performance of the application is slower when access it with windows 7 (Windows 7 Professional 32 bit) machine. We also have server 2003 and windows xp users, and their performance seems to be really good.
Ex : Application Loadout Time
Windows XP 5 Seconds
Windows 7 20 Seconds
I narrowed down the issue by copying only the apllcation files to the user machine and connecting it to the network database. And it is working as expeceted (fast. same as XP). But as soon as I put those files on the network, again the prformance is slow.
But running in safe mode seems to be faster, but not as faster as xp or server 2003.
Any ideas. Thanks in advance.
I've already tried the followings.
Disabling all the services and startup option to be same as in Safe Mode.
Updating all the drivers, bios, updates. (Latest service pack with all the updates.)
Changed the network card.
Changed the Network Switch.
Disabled Antivirus\ Uninstalled Antivirus.

Hi,
You can disable disable checksum offloading in registry:
- Open the Registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters.
- Add a new DWORD value named DisableTaskOffload and set it to 1.
- You may need to restart the system to make these changes take effect.

Unpivot and Merge in SSIS
I have two tables: Table 1 and Table 2.
I want to use merge statement where i can update and insert into Table 2 using Table 1
But first i have to unpivot the source Table 1 before i can use it to merge records in Table 2.
Please suggest the solution.

Use the following:
1) Unpivot Transformation followed by

Three Improvements I'd Like to See in BTS 2010 CU5
1. Put a maximize button or a size grip on the Configure pop-up that you can open by right-clicking on a BizTalk application. The current pop-up is simply not large enough to be useful.
2. Ignore EDI envelope settings when the Interchange sending party is not checked as handled by the local BizTalk group. Currently, those settings are disabled, but still active. In particular, an incoming EDI message that uses ISA11 as a repetition identifier will be suspended for an invalid standards identifier, and this is despite setting the EDI Receive Pipeline to "UseISA11asRepititionSeparator." You can work around this by marking the party as locally handled, which enables the envelope settings, changing the envelope settings, and then resetting the value for the party to not locally handled. I posted about this here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/biztalkediandas2/thread/ff83dec0-26fc-4112-a618-e12bc95edac8
3. Allow Parties to be set-up as one way only. I have several Trading partners that I send to, but never receive EDI messages from. In previous versions of BTS, a party could be set up without specifying ISA identifiers for them as the Interchange Sender, which would be appropriate in the circumstance I describe. In BTS2010, each party must be configured with both AS SENDER and AS RECEIVER ISA identifiers.
I hope this catches someone's eye at Microsoft, and would invite others to add to the list or point me to a more appropriate/effective place to make these recommendations.

I think all of your suggestions sound like added features (or slight optimizations) rather than bugs and the CU release model is primarily for bugs. So features are much more likely to be implemented in the next major version of the product.

It really depends on your budget etc, however 1 really powerful server would do it, or you could have multiple, obviously multiple would be better for redundancy, but it does depend on the budget and how much server usage users will consume.

If Microsoft is going to start removing included features and converting them to paid modules, I hope that the price of the OS comes down to reflect that. At least for me WMC is a big part of my home network. I find that rather annoying. Especially since pro is essentially the ultimate edition.
I have no problem, in principle, with the fact that WMC8 is no longer included as standard in Windows 8 SKUs, but is now a paid-for Add-on "Media Pack". I would hope that the fact that it is paid for will mean that Microsoft actually supports it properly (WMC7 is not).
However, what I do object to is the fact that I can't buy the Media Pack for Windows 8, but I must move to Windows 8 Pro. So, please tell me why I need BitLocker and BitLocker To Go, Boot from VHD, Client Hyper-V, Domain Join, Encrypting File System, Group Policy and Remote Desktop (host) just to have Media Center?
I have zero interest in these features, and they are not needed for my HTPC.

Use these steps to change the location of the certificate server database and log files:- Stop the Certificate Services service.
- Copy the database files and log files to new location. The default database path is: %SystemRoot%\System32\CertLog
- Modify the database paths in the following registry entries to reflect the new path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CertSvc\Configuration\DBDirectory
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CertSvc\Configuration\DBLogDirectory

How to prevent FIM, to delete mail boxes on Exchange 2010.
Good afternoon.
I ask forgiveness for grammar.
Question is: how to forbid the FIM Active Directory agent to delete mail boxes of the removed AD user account?
I already read forum branches like Disabling/deleting exchange mailbox using FIM 2010
But unfortunately I'm still able to delete mail box, without using PowerShell.
In settings of the FIM Active Directory agent option "deprovisioning options" is set to "stage a delete on the object for the next export run ".
For check I used the following sequence of actions:
- I Create the new user in external system (HR Data).
- I Import the new user on a FIM portal.
- I Export the new user to AD and I check results:
- In Active Directory – there is a new account of the user.
- In Exchange 2010 there was a new mail box for the created user.
- I delete the user from external system (HR Data).
- I import changes on FIM portal.
- I export changes in Active Directory. I check result:
- In ActiveDirectory, the user is deleted;
- In Exchange consoles, a mail box is removed too. In spite of the fact that, mail box without AD user account should be moved to «Disconnected Mailbox». But it there isn't present L. The mail box is completely removed from Exchange.
Tried to solve a problem, by restriction of the rights of the FIM Active Directory agent account on Exchange.
Provided to ADATUM\FIM account, rights to account creation, rights to change mailbox parameters but forbade removal. Checked in the Exchange console, the account of ADATUM\FIM can't remove a mail box. I change a configuration of the agent of FIM Active Directory, by set up "ADATUM\FIM" account in parameters of the FIM Active Directory agent. Executed sequence of actions described above. Same result. The account of the user is removed and the mail box is removed.
Checked 3 times, result identical.
2 times in virtual laboratory works of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ff793470 (Lab 7 - there already is an adjusted environment, with the FIM AD agent & Exchange 2010). 1 time in the own laboratory environment.
Whether there is a description of interaction FIM and Exchange, when removal of AD user is performed?
Why I can remove a mail box? How it is possible to forbid removal of a mail box?
Sequence of actions, to restrict rights of the account on Exchange:
- I create new group "ADATUM\RecipentManangement-FIM"
- I create the account "ADATUM\FIM"
- I add the account "ADATUM\FIM" in group "ADATUM\RecipentManangement-FIM ".
- For the account "ADATUM\FIM" set Full Control on OU=Adatum.
- For group "ADATUM\RecipentManangement-FIM", forbade removal of mail boxes. In the Exchange 2010 Powershell console executed:
- New-managementrole FIM -Parent "Mail Recipients"
- New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role FIM -SecurityGroup RecipentManangement-FIM
- Get-ManagementRoleEntry FIM\Disable-Mailbox |Remove-ManagementRoleEntry
- For the agent of FIM Active Directory set the account "ADATUM\FIM"
- Checked process account creation.
- Checked process of removal of the account.
- Checked removal of a mail box. For updating of the Disconnected Mailbox list used:
- Get-MailboxDatabase
- Clean-MailboxDatabase "Mailbox Database 0455042759"

FIM never calls Disable-Mailbox natively. The only way this is happening is if you have custom code doing it.
Once the user is deleted, Exchange will detect this during the background cleanup on the mailbox and mark the mailbox as disconnected. The mailbox will be physically deleted from the database according to whatever policy is defined in the properties of that database.

Hello Brian.
Thanks for the reply.I expected this behavior in FIM Sync Service. But first, I decided to check in the virtual lab. I have not used a special code to call the Disable-Mailbox. (I Used preconfigured virtual lab). However the mailbox was deleted rather than go to a disconnected mailbox.
Can you tell me what from the FIM agent settings can cause this behavior?
Or what in the settings, I have to disable to prevent mailbox delete?
Or suggest where to find information on how to configure a mailbox so that it is not removed. This reference will suffice?

As Brian indicated, the mailbox is removed by whatever policy applies for mailboxes in the Exchange database. It is not done by the service account FIM is using to delete the user in AD but rather by Exchange itself, so there is no way to block that with permissions on the account.
Try increasing the number of days that a mailbox is retained. Also, after doing some searching on this topic, I've gotten the impression you may need to run the mailbox cleanup agent in order for the mailbox to appear in the disconnected state.

Hello Bryan.
Thanks for the answer. But I carried out Disconnected Mailbox list updating, about it is written in the first post.
12…….. For updating of the Disconnected Mailbox list used:
13.Get-MailboxDatabase
14.Clean-MailboxDatabase "Mailbox Database
I planned to adjust creation of mail boxes according to the instruction from virtual work No. 5. «Implementing Forefront Identity Manager 2010» http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ff793470 reference to virtual lab https://cmg.vlabcenter.com/default.aspx?moduleid=ee8ad2c3-1726-4914-8eec-137a09e3beba
Before the beginning setup of creation mail boxes in the productive environment I decided to check, whether mail boxes from base are removed. Also came to a conclusion that are removed. Therefore decided to ask a question at a forum.
You can prompt the reference how it is correct to adjust creation of mail boxes?

Outlook 2010 - Contacts - Add new e-mail fields, new phone fields (mobile 2, mobile 3, etc)
Hi all.
I am not a developer/programmer/IT pro, just a relatively sophisticated user who can't figure out a basic Outlook functionality question, despite having trawled the web for 2 days.
I would like to modify the default contact form in OL 2010 to allow for "e-mail 4", "e-mail 5" etc. and to rename existing (obsolete) phone fields such as "car" and "radio" to allow "mobile 2", "mobile 3" etc. {or alternatively, rather than renaming existing fields, add new ones for "mobile 2", "mobile 3", etc.}
I would like the new/renamed fields to have the same functionality as the existing fields of that type -- that is, showing up in the drop-down lists on the contacts form, showing up in Outlook functionality such as calling out and e-mailing, tying in to add-ins such as Skype, and (especially) synching to Blackberry and other mobile phones with accurate field-to-field mapping (which, btw, you can customise in Blackberry so should be no problem there).
I would like the GUI on the Outlook contact form to remain unchanged from the default.
I think this is a pretty basic question, and many people have asked versions of it. Answers tend to be either "you can't do it" or "customise your own form". I have tried customising my own form, but don't know how to preserve functionality (such as inclusion in the drop down lists). Also, customised forms lose the default GUI and raise synch problems.
I would really, really be grateful if some kind Samaritan out there could take the time to provide a definitive, step-by-step, "dummies-guide" answer to this. I hope someone does, because a lot of people seem to want to do it!!!
Thanks for your time,

I have over 5k contacts in Outlook coming from Exchange. My Contact form is customized and I rely greatly on the Notes field, User1, User2, User3, and User4 fields. Outlook Contacts are highly customizable so WHY NOT! It's been months (years) tweaking and modifying… making it perfect in every way, and then one day I bought an iPad.
I synchronized using EAS (Exchange Active Sync) and painfully discovered the damage. First none of the customized fields synced to the iPad (iOS 5.1). Next I discovered that there was a reversal of the contacts back to the default Microsoft form for the first 500-700 contacts.
Somehow EAS caused, for a lack of better understanding, damage to Outlook forms through the Exchange server. I've posted numerous times and just seem to be kicking the can down the same road. Microsoft blames the EAS "designed my Apple" and Apple blames the EAS "designed by Microsoft".
Not sure if Windows Mobile or Android has made life any easier for the discerning, but based on your recent post I'm thinking we are not there yet. I truly would like to help in every way and perhaps partner on finding a solution. Until then make certain you have a good backup of your contacts (this is what saved me) and let's stay in touch.
This is the first time I have come across anyone asking such great questions, with the similar type concerns as many people I personally know. And Outlook 2010 makes it possible to add an "e-mail 4", and "e-mail 5" field!? That is great news HOW? -Zev
Ps. Pairing a Smartphone to my laptop to use 4G, better Apps, descent browsing, and much more are things that my Blackberry cannot do. All's the Blackberry can do well is sync Contacts with Outlook and send/receive emails with unique signatures. Hope for a better alternative soon!

Database creation
Hello.
I want to create a database for a university system , which includes "Employees , Teachers & Students" entities.
Actually all of these 3 entities have some kind of same attributes , as well as "Name , FamilyName,BirthDate,...".
the main problem is that , can i assign these information into the seprate table dependently by the name of , for example "GeneralInformation" and make ralations among 3 above entities .
And finaly is there any same sample? can you give me?
Reply:
Probably yes, based on your narrative
Having a "Junction table" contains EmpID,TeachID,StudentID that's all

will this action cause that the performance to be reduced?

If you want to keep track of how students relates to teachers, then Uri's suggestion can be applied.
You have not clearly mentioned what type of General Information you want to keep in the new table.
If you don't want to relate Employees, Teachers and Students and the present tables are just holding their personal details, I don't think another table is needed at all.

I want to keep all the same attributes among Employees ,Teachers and Students ,within a new table and then share or join this
new table with tables(Employee,Teachers , Students) which have some special attributes that is uniqe only for themselves
for example for student(studentId, Units, Average,Field,...) and for Teacher(teacherID,Field,..)

How can i properly define indexes?

You should plan new table. If you just want to put all the existing columns of Students in a new table and add few more columns, then I am against this approach.
If a Student can have multiple Units and Averages etc., then you can create another table and later join the tables.
Index should be created on those columns which you include in the WHERE clause.
For example: You have a query like this:
SELECT * FROM <Table> WHERE student_name LIKE 'An%';
In this case, you should have an index on student_name, as you are often using this column to filter records.

so you mean that there is no need for creating the "general information"table , and then as Uri said having a "junction table"? But i think here are 2 problems : 1-some of the repititive information will be used frequently in 3 tables(student,teacher,employee) 2-numbers of columns will arises. I think your guess was right, because i intend to have multiple student and teacher and also employees.sorry for the font , i was forced to copy and paste it.

It is up to you to decide. If there will be multiple records for each ID, go for it.
How many columns you have in a table that makes you worry for the rise in number of columns?

Hello again.sorry for being late to respond.my interner was disconnected.
probably around 20 numbers.

Do you have any kind of same sample about university system?

Disabling Secure MUST NOT be possible on ARM systems.
Hello there.
Please forward this complaint to someone who can understand and reply to it, if you are not that person. I read in a Microsoft document, that "Disabling Secure (boot) MUST NOT be possible on ARM systems" that ship with Windows 8.
This offends and angers me. DAMN that "MUST NOT" for a BAD JOKE.
If an OEM wants to ship ARM devices or computers with Windows 8, those devices must be locked to Windows 8, and the user is not allowed to run an alternative operating system such as Linux without resorting to extensive hackery. This is extremely anti-competitive.
I am a computer programmer - developer - who uses Windows and Linux every day of the working week. I use Intel, ARM and MIPS computers and devices.
I own many ARM systems, and can code in ARM assembly language. I have bought an ARM phone, three ARM handhelds, an ARM development board, an ARM e-book reader, an ARM router, and an Acorn ARM computer. I like ARM.
As a software developer, I have a fairly large disposable income, and spend much of that on computer software and devices. I bought various Microsoft products, and many computers that shipped with Microsoft operating systems. My company licenses Microsoft products for us to use at work. I am a Microsoft customer.
If you maintain this "MUST NOT" clause, I will not buy any more Microsoft products, I will not buy any 'locked' Windows 8 ARM devices, and when I buy new PCs and laptops, the manufacturer shall give me a full refund for any unwanted copy of Windows that might have been pre-installed. I will actively petition other people to avoid Microsoft, because you are behaving like an anti-competitive bad-ass company.
