AMD said that my card does not supported iin Win10 - <a href="http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Win10-Driver-Support.aspx">http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Win10-Driver-Support.aspx</a> ;( But it is really worked one year or more with Win10!!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think problem with some fresh windows update.<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #999999;">One way</b><span style="color: #999999;"> is uninstall needed. Some of them are "important" and can not be uninstalled via standard GUI. One good man found solution how to force it to do this - </span><a href="http://borncity.com/win/2016/10/21/windows-updates-fehlende-deinstallation-erzwingen/">http://borncity.com/win/2016/10/21/windows-updates-fehlende-deinstallation-erzwingen/</a><span style="color: #999999;"> Thank to him!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;"><b>Another way</b> - make Win10 works with "ATI Sapphire hd 2600 xt". Good post with some other advices to revive legacy ATI video card - <a href="https://community.amd.com/thread/185041">https://community.amd.com/thread/185041</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999;">I my case I made:</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">1)</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, "helvetica neue", verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #999999;">"- Open the start menu and type cmd in the search box Right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as administrator</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, "helvetica neue", verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #999999;">- In the command window, type </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, "helvetica neue", verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><b><span style="color: #999999;">bcdedit /set pciexpress forcedisable</span></b></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, "helvetica neue", verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, "helvetica neue", verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Reboot your computer"</span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">2) Windows found needed driver and named video card correctly, but I still had low resolution on my screen. Then I go to video card driver and pres<b> Roll back driver</b> button - and it works!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
After some another Windows Update session driver was rewrote again by some Microsoft basic driver.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I disabled Windows Update service</li>
<li>Downloaded <a href="http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows%208%20-%2064">Legacy AMD Catalyst™ Driver for AMD Radeon™ HD 4000, HD 3000 and HD 2000 Series</a>, run it, when it was unpacked close installation.</li>
<li>Went to folder with driver, in my case it is - C:\AMD\Support\13-1-legacy_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF</li>
<li>Right clicked on first *.inf file, choose Install. It was installed all driver from this file to system.</li>
<li>Go to Update driver for my ATI Radeon card > Browse my computer > Let me pick from a list of available driver ... > Choose ATI Radeon 2600 XT ...</li>
<li>Profit!</li>
</ul>

For example, for some new feature I need to create new autotest, another test is needed to be re-run because developer probably fixed bugs, and it yet another test must be adapted due to test data changed due to service improvements. Some times (and very often - every day) you need to do all this simultaneously.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I use <a href="https://git-scm.com/">git </a>as VCS. I think it is standard de facto now (except googlers of course ;) ).<br />
<br />
1) Git has such feature as <a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree">git-worktree</a> - it allows you to m<span style="background-color: #fcfcfa; color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;">anage multiple working trees attached to the same repository.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfa; color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;"><br />
</span> <span style="background-color: #fcfcfa; color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;">2) But for me the simpler - the best and I use another more simple approach: I have several directories with different branches of the same repository. One branch - one ticket. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfa; color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>branch-123 in c:\repository1</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>branch-ZXY in c:\repositoryTWO </i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>branch-Qw2 in in c:\repositoryV3</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfa; color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Usually there are so much input information goes to my head during the day that I forget to what directory what branch binded.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfa; color: #4e443c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;"><br />

<br />
<i>While deep learning Java I found another solution, but it risky because you can modify testStepResult as much as you can and possibly lost test consistency. Solution is Java Reflection API in general, but I use version from <a href="https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/apidocs/org/apache/commons/lang3/reflect/FieldUtils.html">apache commons FieldUtils</a> library:</i><br />
<br />
<i>In Events window:</i><br />
<br />
<pre><i>import static org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.FieldUtils.writeDeclaredField;
writeDeclaredField(testStepResult, "messages", ["Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!"], true);
log.info testStepResult.getMessages()[0]</i></pre>
<i>Code modify private field "messages" with List<String> type in testStepResult object.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Output:</i><br />
<pre><i><...> :INFO:Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!</i></pre>

Answer is <b> there are the same methods</b> performed HTTP GET request, but Navigation object has more ability to navigate like browser backward(), forward(), etc.<br />
<br />
<b>But navigate() method returns browser history in the form of Navigation object. </b><br />

You can use several approaches:</div>
<ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15.6000003814697px; margin: 0px 0px 1em 30px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
On operation system level: run command several times or write appropriate shell script.</div>
</li>
<li style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
On Cucumber level. E.g. you have following feature file:</div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<code style="background-color: #eeeeee; border: 0px; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Liberation Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', 'Courier New', monospace, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px 5px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Feature: My great feature
Scenario: My scenario

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You can force cucumber-jvm run it several times e.g. 3 by transforming "Scenario" to "Scenario outlines" and using "Examples":</div>
<pre style="background-color: #eeeeee; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Liberation Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', 'Courier New', monospace, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em; max-height: 600px; overflow: auto; padding: 5px; width: auto; word-wrap: normal;"><code style="border: 0px; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Liberation Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', 'Courier New', monospace, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: inherit;">Feature: My great feature
Scenario **Outline**: My scenario
Given My given step <number>
When My when step two
Then My then step three
Examples: to run this scenario several times
|number|
|one|
|one|
|one|
</code></pre>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
It looks some artificially, but works. I use this approach to gather statistics for complex tests dependent of a lot of conditions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>

<br />
One approach is to clean unnecessary apps, data, caches as much as possible, but it is not the stable solution and take a lot of user`s time.<br />
<br />
Another - reformat internal card and set external card as priority place for installing apps. Detail working instruction http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/04/23/techniques-to-get-more-space-for-apps-in-android/<br />

Many devices now have a single internal partition for apps and data on the internal NAND / eMMC flash, but some companies are still providing firmware with the flash partitioned with an “internal storage” partition for apps and systems, and another partition either called “phone storage” or “internal SD card” to order to store data. In the first case, no problem, but in the second, you may have issues where you have plenty of total space, but the device keeps telling you there is no space, leading to error messages such “email service has stopped”, app updates which can not complete, and app update downloads occurring in loops and draining the battery.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
I’ve experienced this issue with my phone (<a href="http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/12/01/thl-w200-smartphone-review-mediatek-mt6589t/" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">ThL W200</a>) which features a mere 0.91 GB internal storage out of an 8GB NAND flash.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_15419" style="background: rgb(247, 247, 247); border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0px auto 5px; padding: 5px 0px; text-align: center; width: 650px;">

Internal storage was 0.91 GB (94% full), phone storage 5.73 GB(3% full), and my micro SD card 3.69 GB (78% full) with about 40 apps installed thanks to some of the the techniques mentioned below, but this was still not enough. Switching the “default write disk” to “Phone storage” did not help much, as it mostly saved pictures to the phone storage partition instead of the SD card.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Most solutions requires rooting your devices, which can do with <a href="http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/03/19/how-to-root-rockchip-rk3188-mini-pcs/%20Linux%20http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/09/27/how-to-root-rockchip-devices-in-linux/" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Windows</a>, or directly from your device using <a href="http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/01/30/framaroot-is-an-android-app-to-root-mediatek-qualcomm-exynos-etc-based-devices/" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Framaroot</a>.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20.3999996185303px; letter-spacing: -0.05em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Easiest Solutions (no root required)</h2>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
The obvious solution is to uninstall the apps you don’t need, but this is not always possible.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
The other one is to go Settings->Apps, sort the list by size, and click on Individual and click to SD card, which should move some data, but the complete app, to your micro SD card, provided you have one installed. If an app uses widget(s), do not move its data to the SD card, or the widget(s) won’t work.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20.3999996185303px; letter-spacing: -0.05em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Using Apps (Root required)</h2>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
There are some apps such as <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Link2SD</a>, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.app2sd" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">App2SD</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Clean Master</a> that will either automate the process of moving apps to the SD card, or clean up Junk files, or both. I’ve used Clean Master as it provided both functionalities. It can also automatically “boost your RAM” by killing some apps, but I’m not sure this feature is very useful.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Each time, I install an application, it will ask me if I want to move it to the SD card, so I don’t need to do that manually.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
There are also various tutorials on XDA Forums [<a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123862" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">1</a>],[<a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412319" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">2</a>] using Link2SD to help you move some directories (e.g. /data/app, /data/dalvik-cache) to the SD card. <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.link2sd.plus" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Link2SD Plus</a>, the paid version of Link2SD, now allows you to link the data directory and dex files to the SD card, as well as clearing the cache automatically.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
These methods could help getting more space for apps, but did not address the unused and wasted space I had on the phone storage partition. So I’ve tried to do something like that with adb shell, copying the data and data-dalvik directory to the phone storage, and creating symlinks, but after reboot, the moved app where all reported as “not installed”.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20.3999996185303px; letter-spacing: -0.05em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Repartitioning the Flash</h2>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
In order to make use of the “phone storage” partition, one of the first thing I did was to search for something like GParted for Android in order to re-arrange the partitions on my device, but I could not find anything.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">

Unfortunately the instructions are device specific, but the overall concept might be applicable to all devices:</div>
<ol style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Install ClockModWork (CMW) recovery</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Make a backup</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Install and run an APK to re-partition your flash</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Reboot into recovery to wipe data/factory reset</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Restore the backup with your apps and settings</li>
</ol>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Here are the steps I followed for ThL W200:</div>
<ol style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Download <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xxe0h8l13ibeq4h" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">ClockModWork (CMW) recovery image for ThL W200</a> and copy it to the root of the SD card</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Install <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Mobileuncle Tools</a></li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Start Mobileuncle Tools, grant super-user privileges when asked, go to Recovery update, and select W200_130712__recovery_130825-123122.img to in CMW recovery. Reboot into Recovery mode.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Backup your system. The only backup option that worked for me was “Backup to internal sd card”, so I did that… Since I’m going to resize the partition, this could be a problem though, but I carried on anyway</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Download and install <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download/1akbk65h4d9b268/meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-8gb-en.apk" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-8gb-en.apk.</a> This is the app that does all the “magic”, and it should apparently work with other MT6589 based devices.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Start the app, and select your partition arrangement with an internal storage of 1.5GB, 3GB, 4GB, 5GB or 6.33 GB.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Once this is done, reboot into recovery, select “Wipe Data/Factory Reset”, then “Yes — Delete all user’s data”.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Restore your CMW backup, which in my case unsurprisingly was gone. So I had to spend a few hours to re-install the apps I use frequently. I should have probably used something like <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup" style="color: #2970a6; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Titanium backup</a> to save me time.</li>
</ol>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
Nevertheless, the while process worked, and I now have 5GB “internal storage” partition, which will be large enough to install as many apps as I possibly need.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_15424" style="background: rgb(247, 247, 247); border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0px auto 5px; padding: 5px 0px; text-align: center; width: 650px;">

I made analysis and understood that I don`t need such Pro option as sync with Outlook tasks, but need to see my tasks on android device. So, I decide to use free <a href="http://evernote.com/">Evernote</a> instead of RTM.<br />
<br />
Evernote has similar widget as RTM to show some of notes on Android phone screen, but you need to be online for this. I`m online almost every time.<br />
<br />
One of my tasks source are emails from English teacher with current homework. To convert email to Evernote notes see <a href="http://blog.evernote.com/blog/2014/06/14/inbox-hero-email-evernote/">Inbox Hero: Email Into Evernote</a>. I need sending email task not to default notebook, but to specific. For this goal you need to modify email subject before sending it to Evernote address.<br />
<br />
The problem is that<b> how to automatically change subject for redirecting emails by Outlook</b>.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>You can not do this by Outlook rules itself, but you can create rule that forward email to some Outlook VBA script. I never programmed for Outlook, but for experienced IT worker it`s not a problem to solve this problem. Here a some intro: <a href="http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=49">Getting Started with Outlook VBA</a>.<br />
And here is my script:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Sub RedirectToEvernote(Item As Outlook.MailItem)<br /> Dim objMsg As MailItem<br /> Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)<br /> objMsg.Body = Item.Body<br /> objMsg.Subject = Item.Subject & " @<your __notebook_name="">"<br /> objMsg.Recipients.Add ("<your email="" evernote="">")<br /> objMsg.Send<br />End S</your></your></i>ub</blockquote>
<b>Tip</b>: to switch on this rule with script working automatically you need to take Outlook running and set your Outlook Macro Security to "Enable all macros". Sometimes its dangerous but only you can choose between comfort and security.Viktor Chmelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17684723029473023786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7216972720273159153.post-23462349042261217462013-08-09T13:22:00.001+03:002013-08-09T13:30:46.337+03:00gitignore ignored by git in Windows.

<span style="font-size: small;">and server attacks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Application controls for Peer-To-Peer, Instant Messaging and many other applications.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• On-going update services covering Microsoft Patch Tuesday and many other applications.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Admin workflow and tools that allow simple management and deployment of IPS</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">capabilities.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Blazing Fast Performance: Introducing a completely new IPS enforcement architecture that allows</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">up to 10 Gbps IPS throughput. Even when all protections are activated throughput remains above</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2.2 Gbps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Signature Matching Engine: New signature matching engine provides faster release of new updates,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">while maintaining excellent performance no matter how many new protections are added.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Bypass Under Load: Maintain high network performance, with the new ability to stop inspection of</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">traffic when the gateway reaches user-defined memory or CPU thresholds. Inspection resumes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">when the stress decreases.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Automatic Activation of Protections: Automatically manage protections or profiles based on policy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">decisions, allowing easier creation of new profiles; predictable, consistent maintenance; and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">update of protections and security policies. All protections received through the protection update</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">service can now be activated, deactivated or put in detect-only mode automatically, according to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">the same policy decisions defined for the profile. Protections can also be automatically activated</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">based on user-defined criteria such as threat severity, estimated impact on performance, and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">confidence indexing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Network Exceptions: Exclude any source, destination, service or gateway from IPS inspection, for</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">any specific protections or from all protections.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Intuitive Information Access Points: Directly access any SmartView Tracker log from the protection</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">that generated it and link back to IPS. Easily create an exception to a specific protection based on</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">a log or set the protection to Detect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Packet Capture: Added ability to save identified packets for forensics and analysis.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Protections Browser: The Protections Browser provides a central view of all protections and the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">capability to quickly find, view or modify protection activation settings, globally or per profile. Find</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">any protection by name, CVE number, protocol, severity or any other parameter.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">manage device configurations, such as operating system and network settings. Networking</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">configurations include DNS, hosts, domain, routing and interfaces settings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Each provisioned device can be managed separately or associated with a provisioning profile, and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">thus inherits all of the profile's settings. Each profile defines the gateway properties per profile</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">object - which represents multiple, unlimited gateways with similar properties and policies - rather</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">than per physical gateway. This means that time invested in each device can be minimized and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">batch operations performed, thereby reducing administrative overhead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> A provisioning profile can define specific settings for networking, device management, and the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">operating system. Common device settings include DNS, time zones, domain names and routing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">data. Provisioning profiles can be applied to UTM-1, Power-1, SecurePlatform or UTM-1 Edge</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">appliances.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> All devices managed fetch their assigned profiles from the centralized management server. If the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">fetched profile differs from the previous profile, the device is updated with the changes. Thus, one</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">profile is able to update potentially hundreds and thousands of devices, each acquiring the new</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">common properties, while maintaining its own local settings.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">performance scalability across multiprocessing cores using CoreXL.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Performance Enhancements</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anti-Spoofing Enforcement Acceleration: Spoofed traffic is dropped, significantly improving the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">performance of the gateway when handling spoofed traffic.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Provider-1/SiteManager-1</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">New Migration Tool: Easily export CMAs from one MDS to another with the new R70 Migration Tool.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Enable automatic export and archive of CMAs, Security Management servers, or MGS global</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">database for migration.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">High Availability Capabilities: New High Availability features make Load Sharing and Failover</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">deployments even more flexible and reliable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Cross-Platform High Availability: Add Provider-1 systems of one operating system to an existing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">HA deployment of another.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Multi-CMA High Availability: Include more than two CMAs per Customer (one primary CMA and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">multiple secondary CMAs).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Failure Recovery in High Availability Deployments: Recovery in many cases of a failed MDS in</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">a High Availability deployment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Cross-CMA Search: Search across multiple CMA databases for defined Network objects (including</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">groups, Dynamic objects and Global objects) and for rules (including Global and implied rules) that</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">contain or affect a specified object.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Provider-1 Shell (P1Shell): New command line shell that enables Provider-1 administrators to run</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">commands in both MDS and CMA environments - without root permissions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">IPS in Global Policy: When a Global Policy is assigned, CMAs receive the global IPS profiles</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">contained in the Global Policy. Global profiles can be specifically assigned to individual gateways.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">• SmartWorkflow sessions allow administrators to work with discrete sets of proposed changes to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">the network security configuration.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Comprehensive audit features allow administrators to track, control, and analyze changes to the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">network security configuration as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• New or modified elements are highlighted in the SmartDashboard object tree and Rule</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Base.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• The Session Information window documents specific changes and provides justification for</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">these actions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Audit logs provide detailed information regarding all changes and can be viewed in</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">SmartView Tracker.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• The Change Summary Report provides a list of changes made to the Rule Base and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Network objects.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• The Compare Policies feature provides a comparison between the installed policy and the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">currently defined policy or between selected policy versions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">• Role segregation, with separate administrator and manager roles, ensures that proposed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">changes are approved by authorized managers prior to implementation and that only authorized</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">managers can configure SmartWorkflow properties. This feature is optional.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>UTM Service Performance Boost</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Check Point R71 offers a dramatic increase to the performance of both the Anti-Virus (AV) and URL Filtering</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">software service blades.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Check Point AV blade offers a new AV detection mode, Stream Detection Mode. With this mode,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">which uses frequently updated state-of-the-art virus signatures, Anti-Virus performance is significantly</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">improved because traffic is scanned for viruses without storing entire files.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Check Point URL Filtering Blade offers significant performance improvements. Connections</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">are now handled in kernel space and not folded into the Security Servers. URL Filtering performance figures</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">are significantly improved, as traffic is not interrupted while resolving the URL Filtering category.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Integrated Management Blade for IPS-1</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Check Point R71 provides central management for IPS that lets you:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Manage R71 IPS-1 sensors using SmartConsole applications such as SmartDashboard</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> Update IPS protections according to a defined schedule</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>IPSec VPN Enhancements</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><br />
</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Load Sharing Mode for VPN Traffic</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Enables distributing VPN traffic among the available links between local and peer gateways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><br />
</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Service Based Link Selection</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Provides the ability to use different links for services that require different level of QoS. Administrators</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">control outgoing VPN traffic and bandwidth use by assigning a service or a group of services to a specific</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">interface for outgoing VPN routing decisions. Links availability and backup links are fully supported.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Trusted Links </u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Ability to define an interface as trusted for VPN traffic, where encryption is not required. Traffic routed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">through this interface is sent in the clear. A trusted link is handled the same as any other VPN link, thus</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">enabling mixed MPLS/Internet environments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>IKEv2</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">IKEv2 Protocol is now available for VPN.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Enhanced Protection against IKE DOS attacks</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">New configuration exists for protection against IKE DOS attacks by authenticated peers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Multiple Certificates Per Certificate Authority (CA)</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Multiple signing certificates for a CA enable the administrator to expire a “CA Certificate” which invalidates</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">all certificates signed by this CA, alleviating the need for coordinating long Certificate Revocation Lists</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">(CRLs). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Multicast IPSec </u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A Multicast VPN solution that efficiently send multicast data through designated sender gateways (by VPN)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">to hosts behind multiple listener gateways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>SmartEvent (formerly Eventia) Enhancements</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Improved performance in the event correlation engine dramatically increases log correlation capacity.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><u><br />
</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Firewall Rule Expiration</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Rules in the Security Rule Base can now be made "temporary" by adding a time limit. The firewall rule is</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">enforced over a specific time period. The new time period settings are part of the Time Properties object of</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">each rule, with Activate On and Expire On fields for granular control. In addition:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> In SmartDashboard, Temporary Rules and Expired rules are marked by new clocked-shaped icons.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Rule expiration can be added to existing rules, or created as an independent object and applied to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">multiple rules.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> New filtering options enable you to quickly find in the SmartDashboard Security Rule Base all temporary</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">rules, or only those rules that have expired. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Automatic Deletion of Old Database Versions</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> In the Database Revision Control window, you can now configure one of four options to automatically</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">delete database versions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> This feature comes with the ability to specify that a certain version should never be automatically</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">deleted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> SmartWorkflow versions are not affected by this feature. They are neither counted nor deleted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Object Management Improvements</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Light filtering and undocking the Objects List</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Filtering objects by any of the fields displayed in the Objects List</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Filtering objects on the fly while typing the text</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Easy switching between the object types: Network Objects, Services, Users, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Undocking the Objects List view</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> New-style object selectors in SmartDashboard - additional details appear for each object and filtering</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">capabilities have been added.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> New-style editor for the Group’s properties - additional details appear for each group member, filtering</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">capabilities have been added and the window can now be resized.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Grouping selected objects in SmartDashboard - it is possible to create a group by selecting objects in</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">the Rule Base, Objects Tree and Objects List.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Other Security Management Enhancements</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Default access mode configuration for SmartDashboard - administrators can now configure the default</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">mode (Read Only / Read Write) when accessing the Security Management server with</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">SmartDashboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> SmartView Tracker queries by username - administrators can specify whether the text in the filter will be</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">case-sensitive or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Check Point Appliance Enhancements</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Jumbo Frames Support for Power-1</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Power-1 appliances now support "Jumbo Frames," which are Ethernet packets larger than 1500 bytes. To</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">utilize jumbo frames, use the Web User Interface or sysconfig to configure the required MTU for the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">network interface.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Hardware Health Monitoring for Smart-1</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Sensors monitor fan speed, motherboard voltages and temperatures on the Smart-1 hardware. The</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">information is available via SNMP and the SecurePlatform Web interface.</span><br />

</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>ECMP for OSPF</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The OSPF routing protocol in Check Point’s dynamic routing suite explicitly allows Equal-Cost Multi-Path</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">(ECMP) routing, a strategy for routing packets along multiple "best paths" of equal cost. By load balancing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">traffic over multiple (redundant) routes, ECMP increases network bandwidth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Check Point’s dynamic routing suite supports up to six simultaneous routes, which means that up to six</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">multiple routes can be used for ECMP. If the routing metric calculations discover more than six paths of</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">equal cost to the same destination, the ECMP feature makes available only the first six. </span><br />

</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Endpoint Security™ VPN R75</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Endpoint Security VPN introduces the Next Generation of SecureClient®, including 64-bit support. It</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">provides mobile users seamless and secure connectivity to corporate resources by establishing an</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">encrypted and authenticated IPSec tunnel with Check Point Security Gateways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This version includes a deployment package of Endpoint Security VPN R75. By default, Endpoint Connect</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">clients are upgraded automatically to Endpoint Security VPN R75. After you upgrade the Security</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Management server and install a policy, users who connect with Endpoint Connect clients get a prompt to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">accept an automatic upgrade. The included deployment package cannot upgrade SecureClient to Endpoint</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Security VPN R75. SecureClient users are not affected.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">To disable the automatic upgrade of the VPN clients, do this before installing or upgrading the Security</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Management server:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. Open Global Properties > Remote Access > Endpoint Connect.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> Enhance the IPS engine to support simpler and more efficient CIFS and DCE-RPC protections</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Multi-Domain Security Management™ (based on proven Provider-1®</b><b>technology) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> R75 supports the new licensing scheme of Multi-Domain Security Management. You can easily convert</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">an existing Security Management deployment to a Multi-Domain Security Management deployment by</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">adding Software Blades.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Other Improvements</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Security Management Server supports Series 80 Appliances™ gateways for centrally managed branch</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">offices</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> You can set a different authentication method per blade on the same gateway. For example, a user can</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">login to Mobile Access with certificate authentication and login to DLP with username and password</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">authentication.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In Gateway Properties, configure the desired authentication method for Check Point IPSec VPN™ and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Mobile Access in its respective Authentication page, and for Identity Awareness in its Authentication</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Settings page.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> You can now use multiple portals over port 443 and port 80. For example, the SecurePlatform™ Web</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">User interface and the Mobile Access portal can both be on port 443. In the SmartDashboard™</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Gateway properties window, set the Portal URL for the different portals on the portal configuration</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">pages.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> The user search for remote access users works according to the user groups. If a user authenticates</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">with an IPSEC VPN client and the user is in the LDAP groups of a Remote Access VPN Community,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">then the user will be found in the LDAP server. If a user authenticates to the Mobile Access portal, and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">the user is defined in the Access to Application rules as part of the Internal Database groups, the user</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">will be found in the Internal Database. </span><br />

But as disk size parameter you need set <b>not delta disk size</b> but f<b>inal desired disk size</b>. See my examples:<br />
<br />
I need add +10Gb extra, and try to execute following command:<br />
<i>#vmware-vdiskmanager -x 10Gb WinXP2.vmdk</i><br />
Failed to expand the disk 'WinXP2.vmdk': One of the parameters supplied is invalid (1).<br />
<br />
<br />
Another atempt was more successful:<br />
<i>#vmware-vdiskmanager -x 30Gb WinXP2.vmdk</i><br />
The old geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 16383/16/63<br />
The new geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 16383/16/63<br />
Disk expansion completed successfully.Viktor Chmelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17684723029473023786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7216972720273159153.post-30052120760725314312010-07-16T17:11:00.000+03:002010-07-16T17:11:23.336+03:00Command line network interface config in Windowsnetsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=10.10.10.2 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.10.10.1 gwmetric=1<br />
