NMIS 8.5.2G E-mail Notifications Using Exchange As Relay

In the past few weeks, I started working with NMIS. The application does a great job monitoring all sorts of devices. I decided to use the free version, so support is mainly based on whatever is found on the web or from NMIS’ email group.
- A working NMIS environment
- I downloaded the NMIS appliance and got the application to work in an hour.
- A working installation of a mail daemon in the linux box where NMIS is running
- For my environment I used sendmail, so most of these steps are related to sendmail.
- A working installation of Exchange server
- Logon to the linux server where NMIS is running from
- Go to /etc/mail directory
- run vi sendmail.cf
- You can use any file editor, I just prefer vi
- If using vi type: /DSsmtp
- / does a search for string DSsmtp
- Once that line is found, then you’ll want to change it to: DSsmtp.YourDomain.com
- Save the file and reload sendmail services
Deploy AutoDesk Building Design Suite Premium 2015 with SCCM 2012
Posted by edwgon in AutoCAD Building Design Suite Premium 2015, AutoDesk, BDS, BDSP, deployment, SCCM 2012 on December 4, 2014
In this post, I’m going to go over the deployment of AutoDesk Building Design Suite Premium 2015 using SCCM 2012.
- You’re going to use AutoDesk BDSP setup wizard to create the ‘image’ folder using AutoCAD’s own image building process. This process will allow you to perform a standard, or custom, installation of AutoDesk’s applications and features, so I’m not going into details about this. At the end of this process, AutoDesk’s wizard will create a SMS_SCCM scripts folder which contains text files that will allow you to install and un-install BDSP; we’re going to use these text files for the deployment.
- The SCCM client imposes a folder size on C:\Windows\ccmcache folder, so we’re going to have to use another script to call the installation process scripts created in step 1.
Here’s what I use for a Detection Method, basically I’m looking for BDSP executable files on the target computer.
This process works well for my environment.
Make a note that this installation may take hours (2-4)…
