Issue displaying New Zealand date format in data view
In our SharePoint 2010 site, we have a column called "EventStartDate" which is a date column.
When we create a new item and select the date, it is entered as 4/08/2012 (which is 4 August 2012). However, when I add the "EventStartDate" column to a data view using the following XSLT, it displays the date in US format and changes it to 8 April 2012.
<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:FormatDate(string(@EventStartDate), 5129, 3)" />
Central Administration's Regional Settings has English (New Zealand) set as the Locale and so does the website.
Please note that the '5129' is the New Zealand Locale ID.
Thanks

Anyone?
Has Microsoft changed the way dates work within SP2010? We use to use the following XSL to format our dates to NZ format within SP2007 but since the upgrade, all the dates are reverting to USA!!! Hey - there are other countries that use SharePoint and need to format dates as DD/MM/YYYY...
<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@DatePublishedinNewspaper), 5129, 'd MMMM yyyy')"/>

Thanks but that did not work... That displays the date as below but it should be displaying as 5 September 2012.
I changed it so that it was <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:FormatDateTime(string(@DatePublishedinNewspaper), 5129, 'd MMM yyyy')" />
but it displays as "9 May 2012".
It is mixing up the month and the day numbers and swapping them around (i.e. it should be 5 September 2012, which is 5/09/2012 in NZ time format).

I think this is something to do with the fact the date is converted to a string i.e. string(@DatePubishedinNewspaper). I have the same problem with English United Kingdom. When the string is interpreted for FormatDateTime it must use US 1033 as date source format type. Possibly a Central Adin Setting. I'm on Sharepoint Online.
Thanks.

Possible bug in RDP x224 pdu
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to find out how to report a possible bug in the RDP protocol in regards to the X224 PDU as detailed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc240470 where it says the following
-
routingToken (variable): An optional and variable-length routing token (used for load balancing) terminated by a 0x0D0A two-byte sequence. For more information about the routing token format, see [MSFT-SDLBTS] "Routing Token Format". The length of the routing token and CR+LF sequence is included in the X.224 Connection Request Length Indicator field. If this field is present, then the cookie field MUST NOT be present.
-
cookie (variable): An optional and variable-length ANSI character string terminated by a 0x0D0A two-byte sequence. This text string MUST be "Cookie: mstshash=IDENTIFIER", where IDENTIFIER is an ANSI character string (an example cookie string is shown in section 4.1.1). The length of the entire cookie string and CR+LF sequence is included in the X.224 Connection Request Length Indicator field. This field MUST NOT be present if the routingToken field is present.
So from what I can tell here, the Cookie or a routingToken should always be sent however :-
We seam to have found a potential bug in the RDP client shipped withwindows 7 and above (and windows XP with the latest rdp client installed) where it would appearer the following is happening.
Windows7
Starting the RDP client and clicking connect and using the cached username - No cookie is sent
Starting the RDP client and setting a username - Cookie is sent correctly
Starting the RDP client and setting a username then disconnecting and using another username without restarting mstsc - Original username is used for the cookie and not the new username, only way to get the client to send the correct cookie is to close the client and restart it.
Windows XP - Latest version from Microsoft website
Starting the RDP client and clicking connect and using the caches username - No cookie is sent
Starting the RDP client and setting a username - Cookie is sent corretcly
Starting the RDP client and setting a username then disconnecting andusing another username - Original username is used for the cookie and not the new username, only way to get the client to send the correct cookie is to close the client and restart it.
However the original XP version (Windows XP SP3) that was not upgraded behaves correctly and sends the cookie as it should.
This is then effecting any hardware loadbalancer we use in RDP cookie mode and is resulting in duplicate sessions on multiple servers.

Hi TP, thanks for that I have logged a call with CSS yesterday but so far they have taken the detail and said they would pass it onto the correct team but so far I have not had any response so was hoping someone may have seen the same issues or can confirm I have interpreted the PDU specs correctly.

Cannot create new Word documents from document library
Hi
I cannot create new word documents using document library ribbon New Document option.
From Word I get the error "Sorry, we couldn't open 'http://portal/shared documents/forms/template.dotx.'"
I click OK and the another message says : "Sorry we could't find your file. is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted."
The template file is there.
The same thing happens when I try to open a document from a document library.
I've tried to modify Trust Center Settings and unchecked all options from Protected View.
It worked until a restart. Then the same symptoms.
Any ideas please ?

I found that freeing some memory makes it working.
The free memory was bellow 5% of total.
With a restart of sqlserver service i get some more free RAM.
Now the question is how can I free some memory ?
I've got a lot of noderunner processes even I'm not scheduled any crawls.

Desktop Folder Rights as Read Only
Hi All,
Issue: For Windows Xp/Windows 7 i have to make dektop folder as read only for all users so they can do nothing on desktop. i.e each user profile existing in computer will have its desktop folder as read only. below is one script i am using but i can target by giving username, i want it to be automatically applied to all users. I am using below script, found it on net.
REM take ownership and reset permissions
TAKEOWN /f "C:\users\XXXXX\desktop" /r /d y
ICACLS "C:\users\XXXXX\desktop" /reset /T
REM grant full control to administrators, read only to everyone else
ICACLS "C:\users\XXXXX\desktop" /grant:r "BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS":(OI)(CI)F ^
/grant:r "BUILTIN\EVERYONE":(OI)(CI)R ^
REM set inheritance on everything below
ICACLS "C:\users\XXXXX\desktop" /inheritance:r
XXXXX: My Username
This script also gives user desktop folder right to local admin
Reply:
Hi - This is usually done with Group Policy. There is a single setting that allows you to set the desktop of all users under the policy so that a user cannot change the desktop. There are numerous variations on settings that allow you to incrementally manage the desktop.

FIM Portal administrator deleted
Hi,
I noticed that this is a well discussed topic with different answers to solve it. And as UnifyBob has put it "...everybody experience this at least once...". In my case it happened because I had to restore the environment to a clean state due to problems with the migration I did from the staging area hardware to the pilot / testing hardware in preparing for production roll-out.
What I noticed is that by doing the first FI and FS from the FIMMA to bring in all the SRs, it projects all the SRs as well as the admin and ILMSYnc accounts in the FIM portal into the Metaverse because nothing exist at this stage in the Metaverse. By running an export on the FIMMA anytime after this removes the displayname, accountname and objectsid from the admin account, because these attributes does not exist in the metaverse yet and is provided to portal by the ADMA which has not run at this stage. After this one can no longer login into portal with the admin account, even trying to restore the objectsid from AD by using the PS script from this forum didn't work, fails with "identity not found".
The only recovery path for me from here was to restore the FIMService DB and delete all connector spaces - a lengthy task :-). To solve the deletion of the admin account I flowed the accountname, displayname, domain and objectsid from the FIM portal to the metaverse for admin accounts. I also changed the precedence on these so that the FIMMA is not first, but the MA owning the attributes in question. So far it works for me.
The question I have is the flowing of the objectsid from the FIM portal not going to be an issue later on, even with the proper preference rules configured? )Both the ADMA and the FIMMA now update the attribute in teh MV but with the AD having precedence.)
As a side note, I also added a separate admin account for a type of backdoor as suggested in this forum which doesn't fall in the scope of the ADMA, but discovered that if you don't use the PS script to retrieve and add the objectsid - it is useless.
I would like to stongly suggest the documentation is updated to reflect the importance and management around the FIM portal admin account. I think the practise should be to start of with an account which is not going to be in the scope of the ADMA and add other adminstrators after the environment is initialized.
Regards
Johan Marais

Excel to Oledb ?
Hi
i have excel sheet which consist of value
Item Name
1 A
2 b
3-6 c
7-12 d
its not inserting in table the value "3-6","7-12" are coming as null and i have check the value using data view in Excel itself those valus is showing null .
thank you ,
Sathiya.s
Reply:
That's because the JET OLE DB provider (or the ACE OLE DB provider, depending on which version of Excel) guesses the datatype of the column. Since it sees integers, it thinks the column Item contains integers. However, 3-6 is not an integer so it will import it as NULL.
To solve this, add IMEX=1 to the end of your connection string. This means that if mixed datatypes are found, string is the chosen one.

I have done that if like that values fall after 45 row then its not taking its coming as null
That's because the JET OLE DB provider scans by default only the first 8 rows.
In order to change this, you need to modify the registry setting TypeGuessRows for the JET OLE DB provider and set it to 0. With this value, it will scan 16384 rows instead.

Application incompatibilities in All.xml of EMET v3
I sent an email off to switech last night with the following text:
================
Operating System: Windows XP x64
DEP: Always On
Offending Application: 7z920-x64.msi
Offending Executable: 7zG.exe
Offending setting: EAF
To recreate the bug, follow these steps:
1. Install 7z920-x64.msi and EMET (Duh)
2. Import All.xml (double-Duh)
3. In Windows Explorer highlight some files, then right-click them, select 7-Zip >> Add to archive ...
4. In 7-Zip click on the "..." button in the top, right-hand corner
5. Ka-Boom! DEP mitigation error
6. Disable EAF for 7zG in EMET
7. Repeat steps 3 & 4
8. Where's the Ka-Boom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering Ka-Boom!
Offending Application: SkypeSetup.msi
Offending Executable: Skype.exe
Offending setting: SEHOP
To recreate the bug, follow these steps:
1. Install SkypeSetup.msi and EMET (Duh)
2. Import All.xml (double-Duh)
3. Attempt to login to a Skype account
5. Dies not with a bang but a whimper
6. Disable SEHOP for Skype in EMET
7. Repeat step 3
8. It's alive I tell you, it's alive!
Tested on bare metal install with full application load-out (my desktop rig AKA how I found it) and a fully updated VirtualBox install with only 7-Zip, Skype and EMET.
=========================
However I decided I should really check all the listed applications that I have on hand and can now also add:
Offending Application: 7z920-x64.msi
Offending Executable: 7zFM.exe
Offending setting: EAF
Offending Application: winrar-x64-420.exe
Offending Executable: winrar.exe
Offending setting: EAF
Offending Application: Internet Explorer (64-bit)
Offending Executable: iexplore.exe
Offending setting: EAF
Seriously, how can Internet Explorer have slipped through the net, I know it's not the commonly used version, but it's still one of the more critical components.
Reply:
------------------------------------
Reply:
Addition:
Offending Application: Video LAN Client (64-bit)
Offending Executable: vlc-2.0.4-win64.exe
Offending setting: EAF
I haven't tested the 32-bit version yet.
EDIT: The 32-bit version does NOT require EAF to be disabled.

How to use command script to controll the WinRE Reset your PC functionality process?
Hi,
I want to use command script(a .cmd file) to controll the WinRE "Reset your PC" functionality process, from site http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj126997.aspx, here is description of "Reset your PC" functionality:
The Reset your PC functionality reinstalls the factory image; removes all user data, settings, and applications; and returns the PC to the default factory state. This function performs the following processes:
1. The PC boots into Windows RE.
2. If there is more than one user-accessible partition, then your user chooses whether to format the entire hard drive or just the Windows partition. For more information, see How to Create Recovery Media to Run Push-Button Reset Features.
3. Your user chooses whether to simply format their hard drive partition (Quick option), or to clean the hard drive by attempting to overwrite all existing user data (Thorough option).
Extensibility point: You can add a custom script here by adding its location to ResetConfig.xml in <FactoryReset_AfterDiskFormat>. For more information, see How to Add a Script to Push-Button Reset Features.
5. Push-button reset formats the data partitions (optional).
6. Push-button reset applies the factory image from the recovery partition to the Windows partition.
7. Push-button reset recreates the boot configuration data (BCD) store on the system partition.
8.Extensibility point: You can add a custom script here by adding its location to ResetConfig.xml in <FactoryReset_AfterImageApply>. For more information, see How to Add a Script to Push-Button Reset Features.
9. Push-button reset reboots the PC into the new operating system.
10. Windows starts the Out of Box Experience (OOBE).
The step 2&3 there are selection menu for user, I want to know how to give the answer in .cmd file without user to choose, and how to implement to shutdown the computer after step 8.
Please refer to the following .cmd file content:
{settings for step2&3 choice}
{settings for shutdown or reboot after step 8}
reagentc /boottore
shutdown /f /r /t 3
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Deepak,
Try to connect the HDDs to other server( whose have similar HW configuration) and check whether your server able to work as old server.Then take the data backup to network shared location make use of it.
Once your old server's mother board replaced with new board, connect these HDDs to server and use it for operational purpose.

Crown Capital Eco Management - Giant Mammoth Carcass in Siberian Frost
Yevgeny Salinder, an 11-year old Russian boy, is the one who discovered the massive remains of the mammoth in August.
The mammoth, estimated to be at its 16 year when it died measured 2 meters and weighed 1,000 pounds, was excavated from the Siberian permafrost last month.
"It is the mammoth of the century," said Professor Alexei Tikhonov of the Zoological Museum in St Petersburg.
According to a Russian scientist, the well-preserved mammoth could be attacked by another mammoth or an Ice Age man. It was best preserved remains of a mature mammoth but its DNA was already damaged and would be difficult to use for cloning.
The International Mammoth Committee working to recover and protect ancient remains: "We had to use both traditional instruments such as axes, picks, shovels as well as such devices as this 'steamer' which allowed us to thaw a thin layer of permafrost. Then we cleaned it off, and then we melted more of it. It took us a week to complete this task."
A group of researchers from different countries have visited the site in September and they were surprised to see that the remains were not only made up of bones but in fact, complete with hair, one tusk and soft tissues.
"We can see that this animal was very well adapted to the northern environment, accumulating massive amounts of fat. This animal likely died during the summer period as we can't see much of its undercoat, but it had already accumulated a sufficient amount of fat," said Aleksey Tikhonov from the Russian Academy of Sciences .
Principal analysis on the creature's remains has disproved that the big humps on mammoths depicted in cave paintings in European countries were not actually extension of their bone structure but great reserves of fat that helped them manipulate their body temperature during long winter seasons.
The mammoth, named as Zhenya after the 11-year old boy, is set to be the main exhibit in the Taimyr Regional Museum and will be transferred to the Russian Academy of Sciences.
