So I guess I just take this as is and move on with life.  But I have a large deployment and build a standalone PLM per recommendations, but now I have to remember to back it up periodically.  Anyone have any two cents on how you handle or how often you really even need a backup and/or what would happen if I lost connection for a period of time and had to restore.   Thanks in Advance ...

I am deploying a new SnS out of the box.  5.2.2 on a UCS C200.  I am using local storage now just to get it going.  When I go to Publish the video I get the folowwing error: Sorry, your publishing attempt failed. The error code was:dms.core.deployment.dao.retrieval.error Looking at my storage location, it is green if you just check local.  When I uncheck and you can see all  the paths, the URL's for WMV, FLV, etc are populated with the path to the local storage but it says it can't find them. Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy.  Thanks in advance. ... View more

We did a 5.2.1 upgrade.  Everything works I have signage up and running DMP's up and running, etc.  The only problem is on Show & Share, all our video thumbnails on the main page are broken links.  You can click and play the video, but you just can't see the thumbnails.  These are all Adobe Flash links because when I hover over them it wants to use Flash to show the link. IE and Firefox seem to have the problem, but when I used Chrome it worked.  Has anyone seen this or know of any differences in Flash presenation in 5.2.1 Thanks in advance ... View more

Does anyone know why I can't  choose YRYBY through Show & Share as an input option on the  encoder.  I can create a VOD/Live Event and pull directly from the  Streaming Server, but if I want to do a true Live Event with a good  quality camera and want to use anything other than composite or S-Video,  I cannot do that through the DME settings on Show & Share.  Is this  some sort of technical limitation. Thanks in advance ... View more

Running Unity 5 on Exchange 2K7.  We have a 2K3 server and a 2K7 server.  About a month ago we started migrating users from 2K3 to 2K7.  And we ran permissions wizard on Unity and users have been working fine. Then a couple of weekends ago, we changed the partner server to 2K7, everything still fine.  2K3 is still on but not in use. So the problem is about half the people still show their Exchange server in the Subscriber properties as the 2K3 server, even though it is not.  I looked in the UnityDB and this is the "Home Server" field in the Subscriber table. I can't find any reason why some show up correctly and some don't.  TAC has had me run some stuff, but no change. Has anyone run across this and is it as simple as changing the DB manually or is there a more formal way to remedy the situation.  It seems to be just cosmetic, but I don't want to find out otherwise when we turn the 2K3 server off. Thanks in advance ... View more

I am trying to register a Transcoder using old PVDM-12's on a 2821 running IVS_M 12.4.20(T2) From all the docs it seems to be configured right, but not go.

We have run across an obscure issue in Unity Connection that is by design I am sure, I just wanted to see if there is a way to modify it. When doing a self-enrollment and you get to the password portion, if you accidentally hit # without creating a proper password it sends you to default opening greeting on the system without allowing you to retype the password. So the system requires a 6 digit password, if you type 123#, it sends you to the default greeting, which could be the error handler I guess. Has anyone seen this and/or is their a way to modify the self enrollment behavior. ... View more
