You are not going to be releasing this soon

You are not going to be releasing this soon

Hi, I've been through most windows beta releases since the beta release of chicago on 24 floppy disks but I simply don't think this is anyway near ready for release. Every cycle is a strain to install. Maybe if I was an Intel man it would be ok. You can't even get a clean install to work correctly on 160. Yes its a complicated piece of software, but please don't inflict this on the world till your confident it'll work on 95% percent of systems and that problems are identified before installation rather than during the first release. 

You're probably looking at October/November in a realistic timeframe

Hello,

I understand that some people are having issues with installs, but they don't give any specific information on what error messages they are getting, or even what the exact issue might be. Please understand that is a technical preview, I have to wonder how much is the OS, and how much is the user. I have installed the previews on AMD and Intel machines with traditional disk and SSD's on 3 different motherboards Gigabyte,MSI and ASUS with AMD & intel video and also via onboard for both and I have yet to have any major problems with the software. The only issue I have is that with each update as fast as my machine is, It still can take 45 to 1.5 hrs for it to install and that is with a 100mb cable pipe. The current release actually surprised me as it was downloaded and installed in 30mins, which is still way to long, but at least it's well under the time it usually takes.

I don't mean to offend, but it just really makes me laugh to see people who brag about their experience with computers or how smart they are, but yet they cannot give proper information in order to get a proper answer.

Maybe there isn't a problem other than the persons unreal expectations. There are so many things that causes computers to act up that without proper lnformation it is impossible to know what could cause the issue.

This is not directed toward you, but just a general observation.

Thanks

There are already plenty of issues regarding installation problems on the forums. Fell free to read them. I was waiting to identify the issue before adding to the mess.

This particular issue has been identified as a problem upgrading or  installing this on a Kingston SSD model number SV300S37A240G. Its possible a fault developed on this drive but I've just copied 185 Gigabytes of data to it so it must be a strange problem possibly EFI related. My Samsung 840 EVO has problems upgrading from 130 to 160 , but that is a more complicated issue because of installed software.

I've now installed the same  pro 160 version from the same media (DVD) on a Samsung 840 and it's working fine. But it would not on the Kingston. The boot error was a complaint about winload and losing connection to the SSD. The motherboard is a ASUS Crosshair Formula Z with 16 Gig and a FX8350 installed running the latest BIOS. The previous BIOS had the same problem. 

All this strikes me as too many issues from something supposedly near final release. Now that I have it running I am impressed by 160. I just would've liked an easier path to get here.  I'm not even going to try to upgrade the  Evo running 130 again. Do you think downloading the files on every attempt is a good idea, Why don't I get the chance to try again without the download. This would give me a chance to remove or disable offending software or hardware and attempt it again

Windows 10 Insider Program - Enterprise Testing after RTM

I haven't seen anything in regards to testing the Enterprise edition once it's released. I am testing the Enterprise edition on my own without any enterprise keys, software assurance, etc.. Will testers of the Enterprise edition also get the RTM build and continue to get updates as long as it's tied to a MSA under the same terms as the Professional testers have?

My apology.

There seems to be not enough information shared out by Microsoft regarding Windows 10 Enterprise.

So here I can't say if it will stil keep working with the registered Microsoft Account.

The information is for reference, at least we could download the Enterprise at that time, Volume licensing customers only.

Alt-F4 >> "Switch user" not working in some cases.

When I'm logged on to an account with no password, Alt-F4 >> "Switch user" accomplishes nothing. It clears the screen and then comes back where I was when I did the Alt-F4.

If I'm logged on to an account with a password, it works.  It takes me to the initial date and time screen from where I get the logon screen with a mouse click.

R2 SP1 Driver bloat issue

Wanted to start a discussion thread on this bug in the recently released Service Pack 1 for SCCM 2012 R2.

During the driver import, from what I can see, each .inf in a given driver folder results in SCCM creating a separate driver store.  Each store containing the full content of files where the .inf file lives.  For example, if a driver package that is 100 MB and has 3 .inf files (all in the same directory) this will result in 3 driver stores each at 100 MB, and of course basic math says what should be 100MB driver store is now a 300 MB driver store.  

Given most drivers set are anywhere from 500MB to 1GB+, this can result in a massive driver package.  The import process can take hours and you will notice significant slow down in your Task Sequences when it has to download say 10GB driver package versus 1GB.

One idea I am getting ready to test is creating a standard "Package" for the drivers, and running a DISM command to inject them and leave the drivers (for now) out of the driver store/driver package.

The command will look something like this:

X:\WIndows\System32\Dism.exe /image:C:\ /Add-Driver /Driver:(PATH) /recurse

About to run through a test on this.  Certainly not ideal but could be viable workaround while we wait for a hotfix.

Would love to get feedback from others and how they are looking to workaround this OR if you upgraded to SP1 and do not suffer from this issue.

Thanks!

Preview Portal shows "We couldn't find any items" when browsing SQL Servers

When trying to use the new portal (https://portal.azure.com) to browse for SQL Servers or databases I get informed that "we could not find any items". This has worked previously (although never showed a complete list) and now shows nothing.

Hi sir,

Thanks for your feedback! I tried to reproduce this issue on my side, but failed. Do you try to check your SQL items on the manage.windowsazure.com portal? You also could try to contact the Azure support for more details:

Hi Will,

Thanks for getting back to me. I've tried raising the issue with support but they dismissed it as they said that the preview portal is only supported in the forums.

I can see all of my items in the regular portal (2 servers and 3 databases) but in the new portal I can now only see 1 of the databases and the "server" link on that has "unavailable" written on it.

Matthew

Adding external users to distribution groups in Exchange Online

Currently we have thousands of email aliases that we run on a Postfix server. The aliases can contain both internal and external addresses, and there's a web interface where end-users can modify aliases they own.

I'd like to move these into Exchange Online distribution groups. To do so I'll need to add all of the external email addresses as Mail Contacts. That's fine, but the issue is that the end-user has no ability to add new mail contacts. Every time a user wants to add a new external address to an alias, an administrator--probably me--will need to create a new mail contact.

I was thinking we could develop a web app that allows users to enter an address and have it added as a Mail Contact in Exchange Online, but that seems like a hack. How are other organizations handling this need?

using powershell Invoke-command to execute DOS command on remote machine

Hi,

We have noticed on issue while executing the dos command on the remote machine using invoke-command powershell commandlet.

While trying to execute the DOS command on remote machines and if the count of remote machines is more than and equal to 3, then randomly for one machine the response is not received. This issue is noticed in invoke-command commandlet while running from powershell console as well as from c# program leveraging system.management.automation.powershell object.

Please let us know if this some know issue or I am missing some configuration.

Thanks,

Rahul


Reply:

In general it will not be the problem running a DOS command over a remote connection via PowerShell, it will be with a high probability the remote connection itself. Bad to say, there are lot reasons that a connection does not work.  

There three basic categories for failure:

  • Inhibit the connection where PowerShell is innocent are Firewalls and AntiVirus products
  • The configuration on the WinRM (Windows Remote Management) on local and remote client site
  • And often the permissions (don't have the permissions on a remote Server)

To localitze your problem, start with checking the firewall. Then review your WinRM configurations. Test the connections: First try to connect the local machine to the local machine. When this works the problem is 100% up to the remote site. When you assume that the configuration is good, concentrate on the permission. Being an administrator on both sides is helpful to identify the problem.

I hope that recipe is helpful for you - let me know if you solved your problem.

Thanks for the information provided…

Actually when we tried for more than 2 remote machines e.g. 3, randomly for one (and exactly one) the response is not received. So if try again, not necessary that the response from the same machine will be missing, response from one among the 3 will be missing. And again, if I individually try for the machine (whose response was missing while running in group), then the response is received. So there is no issue in reaching or accessing it. This is what surprising me…


------------------------------------
Reply:

By default in WSMAN only 5 concurrent remote sessions are allowed. With Invoke-Command a temporary session is opened. I know that when a session is removed the resources are not immediately freed (when disconnected never!). Maybe that can be a starter to solve for your problems. As test serialize your invoked commands with gaps (15 secs - Start-Sleep -s 15) between. 

A good link regarding sessions is: Administrator's Guide to Powershell Remoting . Look at the chapter "Temporary Sessions"

 Let me know if that helps.

i suggest you use windows defender, rather than any 3rd party anti-virus for windows 10 technical preview.

AVG Internet Security is working in windows 10, but i don't think all it's feature is working. you should wait for 3rd party anti-virus to support windows 10 before using them on windows 10.

Anyone with any experiences with BSOD's ;)

Reply:

Don't always rely on past history.  Although they wouldn't be my first choice, both Trend Micro and McAfee have improved significantly.  I don't believe you can point me to any recent examples of those  two causing BSOD.

Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender used to be one of the best AVs out there but now they consistently rank near the bottom for detection rates in every independent test I have seen.  Next year, who knows....  My point being, don't assume that what was bad (or good) last year remains the same this year.

Microsoft has ALWAYS been a joke. Defender and MsSE both.  ESET has always won it's VB100 for the most part Kaspersky has been right up there with them.

My question is just why exactly Microsoft is more or less forcing us to rely on garbage AV software ?

All the pre-Beta and Beta versions of Win 7 and Win 8 had zero compatibility issues with the major AV's.  And, while windows 7 was still in the "Longhorn" phase of development, it worked quite well with most of the quality AV's. Even with the garbage ones like McAfee and Norton / Symantec. As a matter of fact Microsoft went as far as to provide a listing of, and hotlinks to, AV's that were compatible.

Why, would anyone with half a clue, NOT want to protect their rig as best as possible ? Even if they are Beta testing an OS ?

I'm trying to get something to work also. Avast didn't work. Windows Defender is a joke. It doesn't work very well, it's constantly giving error messages in the security center and is 90% of the reason why my updates on Tech Preview are failing so often. Now it keeps saying that to check the anitivirus or spyware (or both) and when I check the program is already running. Usually it just gives one error or the other (but sometimes both). It will not update correctly to the new definitions and keep getting server errors. Now it won't scan past about 40% and there is a constant alert in security center to turn it on. Anyway, just getting sick of the TP now. I'm spending all my time trouble shooting and reinstalling etc that I don't think I've even had a chance to really use almost any of it. I finally fixed the file explorer crashing/hanging nightmare and now I can't get the defender to work right. BTW...anyone had any luck getting Acronis True Image to install on it? I really want a good backup program, I'm reinstalling almost 2-3 times a week now because of this thing. I bought True Image 2015 before I installed the TP but have not been able to get it to install at all. Same with a lot of my programs, some that worked just before some recent updates. That and I don't think I've had a clean SFC ever on it and DISM wont run the restorehealth option (says cant get sources) and cant install PE/ADK. I'm about ready to delete this thing soon, it's way more trouble than it's worth.

I was with Win 10 TP since day one ( build 9841). I am now on build 10049, and I never use a 3rd party AV.

All I have is Malwarebytes free edition  as a "on demand " protection with Windows Defender as "real time " protection.  I have no issue with Security.

Of all the thread in these TechNet forums, there isn't a thread complaining about being infected.

I am sure you have your reason why you want a 3rd party AV. I just don't think it is necessary.

P.S. This thread is old. Should have started a new thread for yourself.

I am running 10162 and AVG Free and all is well, I wouldn't trust the tuneup portion as it seems to be find some useful things as useless and wants to delete them.

I thought that was the reason for the Preview version ----to check out what works and what does not work so why are you suppressing the efforts of those willing to try?

Avg seems to work so far!

Hello,

The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.

As the question is off topic here, I am moving it to the Where is the Forum... forum.

I'd ask in the Windows 7 forum on Microsoft Community.

ActiveSync + Intune + Blackberry 10 OS = What?

What policies actually work if I am using Office 365, Intune, and adding an account on a Blackberry 10 device?

I saw this article: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33619 which lists what ActiveSync policies and features work on BB10 devices. 

I tried it myself using a policy through Intune that applies to ActiveSync only devices.  As far as I can see, it has not enforced any of the password policies on the device that were applied.

Has anyone successfully used Intune and ActiveSync to manage Blackberry 10 devices?  If so, can anyone offer any tips or what I should expect. 


Reply:

Very few. Intone itself does not use ActiveSync to manage devices as ActiveSync is a very limited compared to real MDM which is what Intune uses/is. There is an ActiveSync connector that should allow you to manage ActiveSync via Intone, but as mentioned, its limited at best to what the ActiveSync implementation on the device itself supports. Also, given the very small number of folks still using BlackBerry, you may not find a whole lot folks even attempting to do this.

Here's the TechNet docs on the ActiveSync connector: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/dn646988.aspx

ADFS 3.0 Windows Authentication with external IP

Hi.

I have recently upgraded from CRM 2011 + ADFS 2.0 to CRM 2015 + ADFS 3.0.

I have managed to get it working, but there are some issues.

My adfs server: adfs.domain.com is both used externally and internally. The server-name is server.domain.local but has a certificate for *.domain.com and is set up to use adfs.domain.com

This adfs-server is than exposed to the internet threw Big-IP so that is get a different ip extenally.

So ADFS ip's:

Internally: 1.1.1.1

External: 2.2.2.2

I then added a DNS record that adfs.domain.com should go to ip 2.2.2.2 (external), and externally work fine (get the logon form), but then internally does not work.

Error: Requested Authentication Method is not supported on the STS.

If I override in host file on a internal client that adfs should go to 1.1.1.1 it works internally. 

The issue on hand is that my hosting partner is very reluctant to add the 1.1.1.1 DNS/A-record on the intranet.

And this worked with ADFS 2.0, ie using the extenal ip to resolve via the ADFS  threw the external address with windows authentication (wauth=urn%3afederation%3aauthentication%3awindows), but this dosen't seem to work as "smooth" in ADFS 3.0. 

And tips?

How can I send a LDAP attribute as a custom attribute with an ADFS custom claim rule?

I am
federating with a SaaS provider who's non-ADFS system expects to see the userid
as an attribute named "UID". The type must be persistent. I've been
working a custom rule to do this. Here's what I have right now:<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

c:[Type ==
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/windowsaccountname",
Issuer == "AD AUTHORITY"]

 => issue(store = "Active Directory", types =
("UID"), query = ";sAMAccountName;{0}", param = c.Value,
ValueType = c.ValueType, Properties["
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claimproperties/format"]
= "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent");


But ADFS says "invalid claim rule" when I try to save that.  It says that there is a syntax error: unexpected VALUE_TYPE, expecting one of the following: PARAM.

Has anyone worked on a similar situation?  Any tips on how to accomplish this?<o:p></o:p>

Remote Desktop Services / Unable to connect to the server by using Windows Powershell Remoting

Hello everyone,

i have a Linux Samba 3 Domain (NT-Domain) running. Since some days we got a extra server for Remote Desktop.

So on this new server we installed Windows Server 2012R2 with the Remote Desktop Services Role.

Unfortunately i always get the error message "Unable to connect to the server by using Windows Powershell Remoting"

What i tried already is:

- disabling ipv6 on nic
- Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000
- Windows Firewall disabled
- tried to install the RDS Role as administrator (left click on server manager run as ....)
- netsh winhttp reset proxy
-Enable-PSRemoting -force
- checked server time

All this didnt help me. In the end i tried another option. A testlab with only the RD Server and another Win2012R2 server as AD solved my problem.

With this i can say its a problem with my Samba 3 Domain.

Is there any possible to get a work around? A change from my Samba3 to MS AD is not a possibility for me.

Best regards

Maybe take it up in a Samba forum.  You are trying to configure an unsupported environment and this forum is not designed for that.

VBScript CreateObject method help

Hello,

I've been working on a script that will read the columns of an excel file and store the data into an array. Once I have the arrays I will create checkbox's using the data that they contain. The code I have for this is as follows:

Sub btn0_OnClick  Dim arrNames()  Dim arrValues()  Dim arrPrograms()  Dim arrChkNames()  Dim length  Dim name    Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")  Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\crizzuti\Desktop\App\test1.xlsx")    i = 1  x = 0  length = 0  y = 0  z = 0  w = 0  n = 0    Do Until objExcel.Cells(i, 1).Value = ""  	ReDim Preserve arrNames(x)  	ReDim Preserve arrValues(y)  	ReDim Preserve arrPrograms(z)  	ReDim Preserve arrChkNames(w)  	arrNames(x) = objExcel.Cells(i, 1).Value  	arrValues(y) = objExcel.Cells(i, 2).Value  	arrPrograms(z) = objExcel.Cells(i, 3).Value  	If InStr (arrNames(x)," ") = 0 Then  		arrChkNames(w) = arrNames(x)  	Else  		arrChkNames(w) = Replace(arrNames(x)," ","")  	End If        HTAFile.WriteLine "   <tr>"      HTAFile.WriteLine "       <td>"      HTAFile.WriteLine "           <div class=squaredTwo>"         HTAFile.WriteLine "               <input type=checkbox class=" & arrPrograms(z) & " id=checkbox" & length & " value=" & arrValues(y) & " name=" & arrChkNames(w) & ">"      HTAFile.WriteLine "               <label id=label for=checkbox" & length & ">"      HTAFile.WriteLine "           </div>"      HTAFile.WriteLine "       </td>"      HTAFile.WriteLine "       <td>" & arrNames(x) & "</td>"      HTAFile.WriteLine "       <td>"      HTAFile.WriteLine "   </tr>"     	i = i + 1   x = x + 1   y = y + 1   z = z + 1   w = w + 1  	length = length + 1  Loop  objExcel.Quit    End Sub  


The problem I am having is that I want to use the data stored in the arrChkNames() array to test if the checkbox is checked once the button btn0 is clicked. Each checkbox's name attribute will have the names given to it from the arrChkNames() array. So I am trying to do something like this:

For n = 0 To length   If arrChkNames(n).Checked Then  	 MsgBox arrValues(n) & "/" & arrPrograms(n)   End If  Next

The error message I get when I run this code is "Object Required arrChkNames(...)." I understand that I am going to have to use the CreateObject method to retrieve the name from each checkbox to run through the loop. (Or maybe there is another way to do it I am open to anything).

Please advise how I can do this using the CreateObject method or if there is a better method to do this.

Thank you.

An array of check boxes can be extracted by name.

Here is how to build a table of checkboxes.  To retrieve the values just enumerate eth tables rows and test each checkbox as each row has only one checkbox.

<html>    <head>  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">  <title>My HTML Application</title>    <script language="vbscript">  	Sub btn0_OnClick  	  		Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")  		Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\crizzuti\Desktop\App\test1.xlsx")  		  		Do Until objExcel.Cells(i, 1).Value = ""  			Set tr = document.CreateElement("tr")  			table1.AppendChild tr  			Set td = document.createElement("td")  			tr.appendChild td  			Set input = document.createElement("input")  			td.appendChild input  			input.type="checkbox"  			input.class=objExcel.Cells(i, 3).Value  			input.value=objExcel.Cells(i, 2).Value  			input.name=objExcel.Cells(i, 1).Value  			Set td1 = document.createElement("td")  			tr.appendChild td1  			id1.InnerText = objExcel.Cells(i, 1).Value  		Loop  		  		objExcel.Quit  		  	End Sub  	   Function GetChecked_OnClick()
   For Each row in table1.Rows
    If row.firstChild.firstChild.Checked Then
     MsgBox "rowchecked --> " & row.firstChild.firstChild.value
    End If
   Next
End Function </script> <hta:application applicationname="MyHTA" border="dialog" borderstyle="normal" > </head> <body> <input id="btn0" type="button" value="Add Rows"> <input id="GetChecked" type="button" value="Get Checked"> <!-- the following tabl will be gernerated at runtime. --> <table id="table1"/> </body> </html>

Virtual keyboard not coming up when adding pin in tablet mode 10158

I don't currently have a sign in PIN set up for my HP Stream 7 tablet on Build 10158. When I went to add one, it asked me for my current password. Try as I might I was not able to get the virtual keyboard to come up. I am installing 10159 on it now to see if the problem is still there. This is minor but could be very frustrating to a non tech user.

This is still an issue as of 10162

On another note its great that built in administrators can finally access apps in Windows 10. Build 10162 and the built-in admin account can finally access apps that could not access before.

Until this was fixed this was one of the biggest issues I saw with Windows 10. A built-in administrator couldn't even perform a Windows update!
