Hi everyone - I'm just throwing out some info in case someone runs into the same issue I was having. My general setup: Ruckus ZoneDirector Bonjour Gateway setup on ZoneDirector advertising AirPlay and AppleTV from VLAN1 to VLAN2 Layer III firewall on the ZoneDirector applied to Student WIFI has the following ports open from student subnet to faculty/classroom subnet: 7000,7100,5000,6010,6011,6012,5002 Student ipads on VLAN2 Wired PC and Macs running AirServer on VLAN1 The take-away here is that until I figured out (using Wireshark) that port 5002 needs to be open, this setup was not working for Students trying to mirror to Macs - the PCs were fine. Perhaps this is common knowledge, but AirServer's docs don't mention port 5002 (at least none that I've found) Hope this helps someone who doesn't want to unintentionally lose weight and/or hair Jon

Have you looked at DHCP option 252? https://support.ruckuswireless.com/answers/000001560 I'm not sure if it is supported by all devices, but the short story is that you add an option to your DHCP server that instructs connecting devices to get proxy information from a wpad.dat file. This file can be placed on an internal web host. There are several examples available as to the format of the wpad.dat file, but it is basically a javascript: // vim: syntax=javascript function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (shExpMatch( host, "192.168.0.*" ) || shExpMatch( host, "127.*" ) || shExpMatch( host, "localhost" ) || shExpMatch( host, "*.YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME" ) || isPlainHostName( host ) || dnsDomainIs( host, ".YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME" )) { return "DIRECT"; } // You shouldn't need this, but in some cases it might be handy: // if (isInNet(host, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0")) { // return "DIRECT"; // } // This uses the Dan's Guardian port by default, squid if that isn't // working, and direct if that isn't working. On my network, i don't // use DIRECT, because i block outgoing access in the firewall. return "PROXY proxy.YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME:8080; PROXY proxy.YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME:3128; DIRECT"; } I don't implement this anymore, but used to and it worked

In order to manage the preferences of AD users and Groups you must add them to OD Groups.

just upgraded my early 2008 after 10.9 and server were very slow: Amazon.com: 4GB (2x2GB) Memory Apple Mac Pro 3,1 2008 Quad Core, 8-core PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz Fully Buffered ECC FB-DIMM Nemix Ram MA970LL/A: Computers & Accessories

Are you attempting to bind w/SSL turned on? If so, be sure it's configured at the server. +1 to DNS, also.

I just got finished upgrading from 10.5 > 10.6.8 > 10.9: The software upgrade process was flawless Once in 10.9, I had to download the Server app ($19.99 from the App store) and Workgroup manager (free on apple.com). Until you do so 10.9 will "disable" your server. This was painless My OD was a little odd in that DIRADMIN would not authenticate - I had to archive/restore and it was fine. My AD triangle had no issues The server, a 2008 Mac Pro was very pokey with 2gig RAM - upgraded it to 10gig and runs great. I'm holding on to Workgroup Manager for mcx management simply because my trials with Profile Management have been for crap

Hi there - I'm not quite sure if this is what you are looking for, but we are currently running a demo of HTTP Commander Web File Manager. It allows all devices to access shares, etc on our network and integrates with AD. There is an app for both ios and android. It is basically a web application that gets installed in IIS. While it takes the place of running webdav services, you can webdav enable the app to allow clients to map drives, or use the "Send to webdav" functionality in apps like "Pages" Web File Manager (Folders Share access via browser) So far, it seems pretty nice

What this means for my school is that I can either purchase (one last time) a site license for $10000 or I can buy into Adobe's Education Agreement for approx $100 / total full time employee / year. That's about $10000 / yr for us. That's $10000/yr for the 4 instructors that will be using it. The model is similar to Microsoft's School Agreement, but without the savings. Does Adobe think CS6 is as ubiquitous in the organization as MS Office? Looks like we'll be switching to .... ohhhh I get it.

Open Source Network Gateway | Untangle Been very happy with it, easy to install ISO

The DRBL portion of the Live CD requires 2 nics simply because that is the config that was put to the ISO. I actually tried the Live CD with just one NIC and got nowhere i.e. PXE boot never happened (I noticed at boot some errors regarding trying to initialize eth1) However, DRBL by itself does not REQUIRE 2 nics. Apparently it's just easier to config: (from the drbl docs) # If you have only one NIC, you may set two IP addresses, i.e. one in eth0 and another alias IP address in eth0:1. eth0 will be used for the DRBL server to connect to the public Internet while eth0:1 will be used for the DRBL environment. Here's how to setup eth0:1 in RedHat-like Linux. NOTE! This alias IP address will cause some problems if you do not provide static IP address to DRBL client via its MAC address. In this example, the DRBL server will lease IP address to any machine connected to eth0 if no MAC address is set in the DHCP service. Hence you'd better not to use alias IP if you do not know exactly what you are doing! Two or more NICs are recommended!# Again, the Live CD is pre-configured for a server with 2 NICs installed. If you setup a DRBL server from scratch, it would appear that there is no real advantage to having 2 NICs other than it being easier to assign IPs as opposed to aliasing. Remember, DRBL by itself is for booting workstations that are in production, i.e. need dhcp, access to services, etc.

I didn't see any Clonezilla posts so I thought I would throw this out there: I've been looking for an open source solution that would help me clone lab machines. I came across Clonezilla, which by itself allows you to easily clone either entire disks or individual partitions. It works pretty well, and there is even a Clonezilla Live CD so you don't have to set up a Linux box, install necessary software, etc. I then found DRBL Live, which combines Clonezilla and DRBL. DRBL allows you to PXE netboot machines in a diskless or thin-client scenario. The DRBL CD is coupled with Clonezilla - thus allowing you to PXE boot clients, upload a master image and the restore that image to the rest of your computers. Here's a brief description of what I did: Downloaded the DRBL-Live iso and created a bootable cd using Nero. Found a server with 2 nics (required) and booted it with the CD. I then had a DRBL server ready to pxe boot any clients set to PXE boot On the server, I ran Clonezilla in "save partition" mode PXE booted the computer in my lab that had all my software loaded (my master) The master client automatically began uploading an image of it's primary partition to the server I then re-ran clonezilla on the server, this time in "restore partition" mode I then PXE booted the remaining 19 machines in my lab. Each machine began downloading the image, overwriting its primary partition In about 50 minutes they were all cloned This of course is a simplification of all the steps - there are few parameters here and there that I had to figure out, and I had to enable Multicast on my switch. I also had to isolate the lab from the rest of my network as I was afraid DRBL would restore the image to ANY machine that happened to PXE boot (although the DRBL documentation does say something about only allowing authenticated clients to boot) Anyway, perhaps there is someone out there that this might help. DRBL-Live (still considered to be in testing stage - no 'stable' release yet) Clonezilla

Just installed iTalc 1.03 and added 18 workstations by manually editing the globalconfig.xml When in Autoview looking at thumbnails of each computer, the iTalc process shoots to well above 50% and stays there. I have increased the update time to 20 seconds, but no help. The process usage is directly proportional to the number of machines in Autoview - the more machines, the higher the % Any ideas?
