Philosophy Hero Socrates


Ancient Greek philosophy is dominated by three very famous men: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. All three of these lived in Athens for most of their lives, and they knew each other. Socrates came first, and Plato was his student, around 400 BC. Socrates was killed in 399 BC, and Plato began his work by writing down what Socrates had taught, and then continued by writing down his own ideas and opening a school. Aristotle, who was younger, came to study at Plato's school, and ended up starting his own school as well.

In the years after Plato and Aristotle died, in the 200's BC, three famous kinds of philosophy started up in the schools that Plato and Aristotle had started. These are the Stoics, the Skeptics, and the Epicureans. Each of these continued to be important ways of thinking about the world all the way through the Roman Empire, until people converted to Christianity in the 300's AD, and even after that.

BOOKS

Philosophy and Science in Ancient Greece: The Pursuit of Knowledge, by Don Nardo (2004). For teenagers. Don Nardo has written many books for young people about the ancient Greeks.

SCCM 2007 Virtual Application all Packages Tools Pdf files and Scripts how to use them

Using the Virtual Application Package Tools

The following list of procedures describes how to use the tools that are available to help manage virtual application packages in your Configuration Manager 2007 environment. By default, the files are located in the following directory: <ConfigMgrInstallationPath> \ SMS \ Tools \ VirtualApp.

AppVirtMgmtClient.sms

Use the AppVirtMgmtClient.sms file to create a Configuration Manager 2007 package to distribute the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client. For more information about installing the App-V client, see How to Install the Microsoft Application Virtualization Client.

Note 

By default, the program created by AppVirtMgmtClient.sms file will restart the target computer because the App-V client setup needs to update files used by the operating system. When you upgrade from previous versions of the App-V client, you must use the setting ConfigMgr restarts computer. For new App-V client deployments, you can change this program setting to No action required. However, you should install the App-V client setup manually in a test environment to ensure the computer does not need to be restarted as part of the installation.

After the App-V client has been installed, software metering for virtual application packages will not be available until after you have restarted the target computer. You should choose the setting ConfigMgr restarts computer if you plan to run software metering for virtual application packages.

AppVirtMgmtSequencer.sms

Use the AppVirtMgmtSequencer.sms file to install the App-V sequencer into your Configuration Manager 2007 environment. For more information about installing an application using a program definition file, see How to Create a Package from a Package Definition File.

Using the ManageVAppPackage.vbs Script

You can use the ManageVAppPackage.vbs file to import new virtual applications and update existing virtual application packages in Configuration Manager 2007.

Use the following procedure to manage virtual application packages

To manage virtual application packages

Open a command prompt. Navigate to the directory containing the ManageVAppPackage.vbs. The default location is <ConfigMgrInstallationPath> \ SMS \ Tools \ VirtualApp \ ManageVAppPackage.vbs.

To update an existing virtual application package, or to import a new virtual application, type the applicable command.

 

To import a new virtual application, type the following command using your values:

cscript ManageVAppPackage.vbs /Action ADD /SGVAppSource VirtualApplicationSourceDirectory /SMSVAppSource \\Server\VappsourceDirectory\VirtualApplicationName [/DPList \\Server\Share] [/PackageName YourPackageName] [/PackageComment YourPackageComment] [/Manufacturer YourManufacturer] [/Language YourLanguage]

To update an existing virtual application package, type the following command using your values:

cscript ManageVAppPackage.vbs /Action UPDATE /PackageID YourPackageID /SGVAppSource VirtualApplicationSourceDirectory /PackageName YourPackageName [/PackageComment YourPackageComment] [/Manufacturer YourManufacturer] [/Language YourLanguage]

Use the value descriptions in the following table to help you determine the actual text you will use with the preceding commands.

Value  Description 

/Action

 Specifies if a new virtual application will be imported or an existing package will be upgraded. To import a new virtual application, use the ADD parameter. To update an existing virtual application package, use the UPDATE parameter. If you are importing a new virtual application, do not specify an associated PackageID. If you are updating an existing virtual application package, do not use the /DPList parameter.

/SGVAppSource

 Specifies the source location for the App-V virtual application. Configuration Manager 2007 will copy the contents from the specified directory. The directory specified can be a local folder or a folder specified by using UNC format.

/SMSVAppSource

 Specifies the Configuration Manager 2007 source folder. You must specify this location using UNC format.

/Packagename

 Specifies the package name for the virtual application package. If no name is specified, Configuration Manager 2007 will assign the name specified in the associated manifest file.

/DPList

 Specifies the distribution points that the virtual application package will be added to. If you want to add the package to all distribution points, use an asterisk (*).

/PackageComment

 Specifies the comment that will be associated with the virtual application package.

/PackageID

 Specifies the Configuration Manager 2007 package associated with the virtual application.

/Manufacturer

 Specifies the manufacturer that will be associated with the virtual application package.

/Language

 Specifies the language that will be associated with the virtual application package.

Using the SetRetensionRules.vbs Script

You can configure retention rules for virtual application packages by using the SetRetentionRules.vbs file. This script can be used only on a primary Configuration Manager 2007 site.

Use the following procedure to set the retention rules for virtual application packages located on Configuration Manager 2007 distribution points.

To set virtual application package retention rules

Open a command prompt. Navigate to the directory containing SetRetentionRules.vbs. The default location is <ConfigMgrInstallationPath> \ SMS \ Tools \ VirtualApp \ SetRetentionRules.vbs.

To set the retention rules, type the following command, replacing the text in brackets with your values:

cscript SetRetentionRules.vbs [TransitionDays] [Max Versions]

Use the value descriptions in the following table to help you determine the actual text you will use in the preceding command.

Value  Description 

TransitionDays

 Specifies the number of days virtual application packages will be saved.

Max Versions

 Specifies the maximum number of versions that will be saved.

Enjoy,
Paddy

SCCM It's Ports ; SCCM using Ports

 

Configurable Ports

Configuration Manager 2007 allows you to configure the ports for the following types of communication:

  • Client to site system
  • Client to Internet (as proxy server settings)
  • Software update point to Internet (as proxy server settings)
  • Software update point to WSUS server
  • Client to reporting point

By default, the HTTP port used for client to site system communication is port 80 and the default HTTPS port is 443. Ports for client-to-site system communication over HTTP or HTTPS can be changed during Setup or in the Site Properties for your Configuration Manager site.

Reporting point site system roles have configurable port settings for HTTP and HTTPS communication defined on the reporting point site system role property page. By default, users connect to the reporting point using the HTTP port 80 and HTTPS port 443. These ports are defined during installation only. To redefine the reporting point communication port, the reporting point site system must be deleted and reinstalled.

Non-Configurable Ports

Configuration Manager does not allow you to configure ports for the following types of communication:

  • Site to site (primary-to-primary or primary-to-secondary)
  • Site server to site system
  • Site server to site database server
  • Site system to site database server
  • Configuration Manager 2007 console to SMS Provider
  • Configuration Manager 2007 console to the Internet

Port Details

The port listings that follow are used by Configuration Manager 2007 and do not include information for standard Windows services, such as Active Directory group policy and Kerberos authentication. For information about Windows Server services and ports, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=123652.

Notes

1 Proxy Server port    This port cannot be configured but can be routed through a configured proxy server.

2 Alternate Port Available    An alternate port can be defined within Configuration Manager for this value. If a custom port has been defined, substitute that custom port when defining the IP filter information for the IPsec policies.

3 RAS Sender    Configuration Manager 2007 can also use the RAS Sender with Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) to send and receive Configuration Manager 2007 site, client, and administrative information through a firewall. Under these circumstances, the PPTP TCP 1723 port is used.

4 Windows Server Update Services    WSUS can be installed either on the default Web site (port 80) or a custom Web site (port 8530).

After installation, the port can be changed.

If the HTTP port is 80, the HTTPS port must be 443.

If the HTTP port is anything else, the HTTPS port must be 1 higher—for example 8530 and 8531.

5 Trivial FTP (TFTP) Daemon    The Trivial FTP (TFTP) Daemon system service does not require a user name or password and is an integral part of the Windows Deployment Services (WDS). The Trivial FTP Daemon service implements support for the TFTP protocol defined by the following RFCs:

  • • RFC 350—TFTP
  • • RFC 2347—Option extension
  • • RFC 2348—Block size option
  • • RFC 2349—Time-out interval, and transfer size options

Trivial File Transfer Protocol is designed to support diskless boot environments. TFTP Daemons listen on UDP port 69 but respond from a dynamically allocated high port. Therefore, enabling this port will allow the TFTP service to receive incoming TFTP requests but will not allow the selected server to respond to those requests. Allowing the selected server to respond to inbound TFTP requests cannot be accomplished unless the TFTP server is configured to respond from port 69.

6 Communication between the site server and site systems    By default, communication between the site server and site systems is bi-directional. The site server initiates communication to configure the site system, and then most site systems connect back to the site server to send back status information. Reporting points and distribution points do not send back status information. If you select Allow only site server initiated data transfers from this site system on the site system properties, the site system will never initiate communication back to the site server.

7 Ports used by distribution points for application virtualization streaming    A distribution point enabled to support application virtualization can be configured to use either HTTP or HTTPS. This feature is available in Configuration Manager 2007 R2 only.

Connecting with Microsoft SQL Server

If you use the TCP/IP Net-Library, enable port 1433 on the firewall. Use the Hosts file or an advanced connection string for host name resolution.

If you use named pipes over TCP/IP, enable port 139 for NetBIOS functions. NetBIOS should be used only for troubleshooting Kerberos issues.

Note
TCP/IP is required for network communications to allow Kerberos authentication. Named pipes communication is not required for Configuration Manager 2007 site database operations and should be used only to troubleshoot Kerberos authentication issues.

By default, SQL Server uses TCP (not UDP) port 1433 to listen on TCP/IP. To change the port, run SQL Server Setup on the server, and then click Change Network Support. If SQL Server uses port 1433, the client Net-Library works. If SQL Server uses a custom port number, the client must specify that port in the Data Source Name (DSN).

Microsoft does not recommend that you enable UDP ports 137 and 138 for NetBIOS name resolution by using B-node broadcasts. Instead, you can use a WINS server or an LMHOSTS file for name resolution.

Installation Requirements for Internet-Based Site Systems

The Internet-based management point, software update point, and fallback status point use the following ports for installation and repair:

  • Site server --> site system: RPC endpoint mapper using UDP and TCP port 135.
  • Site server --> site system: RPC dynamic TCP ports.
  • Site server < --> site system: Server message blocks (SMB) using TCP port 445.

Distribution points do not install until the first package is targeted to them. Package installations on distribution points require the following RPC ports:

  • Site server --> distribution point: RPC endpoint mapper using UDP and TCP port 135.
  • Site server --> distribution point: RPC dynamic TCP ports.
