Breeze to Connect .. not easy road

I am responsible to manage the Macromedia Breeze and HomeMeeting Joinnet Video Conferencing Server. Yesterday, I upgraded Breeze to Adobe Connect Enterprise Server. It was not a easy job to complete, but I did.
I need to backup MS SQL 2000 Database, Breeze original files to a safe place. Then uninstall SQL 2000. Because It recommend SQL 2005 would be better, so I must use its embedded MSDE SQL 2005 since I don't have licensing SQL 2005 on hand.
When all of database issue was solved, I would be allowed to run setup program.
After files copied was completed, It also need to migrate the Database contents and configuration files. Do you think it finish? Not yet, I must try if the service is working by accessing the web.
It is so luck and Adobe have many support tips can help me to solve issue step by step.
All of thing is running normally now.

How to synchronize FTP contents by light way

Our company have many contents from Partner's ftp sites need to keep synchronizing in time, and send notification email to guys who need to know latest updates.
I used following method to let this work by automatic. It only get changed files when remote FTP contents were changed.
1) Get a perl script(ftpsync.pl) writted by Christoph Lechleitner ( ftpsync at ibcl.at )
http://ftpsync.sourceforge.net/
2) Add some output information to a file which will be used to send information
3) Install esmtp package into Linux System
4) Add a script into cron job at AM 2:00(Taiwan timezone)

#!/bin/bash
/root/ftpsync.pl -g ftpserver=xx ftpuser=xx ftppasswd=xx ftpdir="/" /root/ftp
sleep 10
mount -t cifs -o username=xx,password=xx,codepage=cp950 //xx/SEShare /root/seshare
sleep 10
rsync -a /root/ftp/. "/root/seshare/"
sleep 10
cd /
umount /root/seshare
#Send notification email to cbu group
cd /root
domail=`cat /root/ttt.txt wc -c`
to='To: abc@c.d.e.f'
from='From: xyz@c.d.e.f'
subject='Subject: [News - xx] New update file in BulletinBoard'
echo $to > /root/mail.txt
echo $from >> /root/mail.txt
echo $subject >> /root/mail.txt
echo >> /root/mail.txt
cat /root/ttt.txt >> /root/mail.txt
if [ "$domail" = "0" ]; then echo "Don't send email if empty update"
else
cat /root/mail.txt | esmtp abc@c.d.e.f -f xyz@c.d.e.f
fi

How to create quick Windows XP installation CD

Sometimes you will be sick of the long installation procedure of Windows System. There is a way you can make a custom CD for installation without any prompt question during setup process. Following is my experience:
1) You must have a latest Original CD and your product key on hand
2) Download Nlite software, nLite allows you to customize your installation of Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows 2003. You can integrate service packs and hotfixes from Microsoft directly into your windows distribution files without having to re-download and install them every time you need to re-install windows.
3) You also need to install "Windows Updates Downloader". Then you need to download a list with all hotfixes.In same site, scroll down to see all different list, select it in your language, platform and OS for then download it.In your hard disk open the list file (.ulz) and automatically the list will be installed.
4) Prepare the driver you need to put into the custom CD. For example, SATA, SCSI RAID Driver
5) Once you have finished above, you can start to do the custom CD step by step as the instruction on the website of Nlite
