DISKPART , Windows 2012 server mirroring/UEFI & GPT drives
Hi, I have the following partitions for disk0, when installed a clean windows 2012 server. Can you please help setup disk mirroring correctly?
Do we have to protect Recovery, System,Reserved partitions before making disks dynamic? (I have found articles for windows 2008r2 but not for windows 2012 server). Can you provide some specific commands? thank you

This MS KB article should also applies to Windows 2012 as the configuration of GPT-based hard drive partitions are the same on 2008 R2 and 2012.

change OOBE from from captured .wim for deployment with WDS
Hi All,
I have captured a .WIM image from a working station.
I used WDS to capture that image.
Before capturing I used sysprep on the computer.
When I use syspred some settings are gone, like I would like the the drive letter from the DVD-station is by default W and the admin account is also disabled.
I would like to deploy this existing image to a computer using WDS and enable the administrator account, join domain, change computer name and change the drive letter from the DVD-station.
We are using sysprep because we want to deploy this image to 50 computer with the same software already installed.
I'm new in using WDS, syspep, ... but I already can capture a computer en deploy this to a computer without the settings above.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Iven

Hi,
Thanks for this.
But I have already captured an image with the right partitions.
I only need to change the computername, join the domain, enable the admin account, set admin password and skip the oobe questions.
Untill now I'm only able to change the computername and skip the oobe.

Ok. So in my setup I'm using 2 files. There's an ImageUnattend and also a MachineNameUnattend. I prestage my machine in active directory and associate it with it's own MachineNameUnatted. This xml file lists what the computer should do for the initial OOBE steps, it also tells it what name to assign and to join the domain. My ImageUnattend is like the master XML file. It sets the username and password so that WDS can join the machine to the domain successively.
As you can see in my example the ComputerName is left blank. That's because I want it to search in Active Directory using the machines MAC address to find the computer object and use that name.
I probably needlessly have duplicate information in mine but it works so I'm happy with it.
Take a look here:

I read many how to's but I don't get any further.
Ik will try to do like you did.
How is your WDS configuered?
Do you have any more information?
Thanks in advance.

Problem Starting SPD Workflow as a Different User
I create a simple workflow on a Document Library that is set to start Manually.
When the User who published the workflow selects the workflow, the Start Form is shown, and the workflow runs. When a different user (who is a member of the Site Owners Group - permissions inherited on the Library) clicks on the name of the workflow, we get a blank page saying, "The webpage cannot be found".
The URL is
If I use the browser to go back to the page where one selects the workflow, and then change user back to me, the workflow runs happily.

is it possible to print without downloading using Azure and service bus ?
Shoeb Sayyed ( On the learning curve )
Reply:
Hi,
If you have a WCF service on-premise that can receive a request and then print a report you can then expose that service using the service bus and callit from an Azure application.
You could also do this asynchronously using Queues or Topics and Subscroptions.

SharePoint ribbon browse tab only to be visible at all times
By default I want the Browse tab (with the bread crumb to be seen by all users). When I click any webpart on the screen it immediately changes to the other tabs like item for list page or pages for a web part page. I want to the ribbon to be only on the Browse tab or the section with the bread crumb always. No one needs to be able to see any of the other tabs.
Please advise how to always default to the browse tab?

Hi,
You are not in the right forum since it is an InfoPath forum.
But, you can use Client Object model to do upload a file Inside SharePoint 2010 : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sridhara/archive/2010/03/12/uploading-files-using-client-object-model-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx

How could i use this client object model without using visual studio or any piece of code and moreover i dont have to deploy it anywhere thats the main reason it should be code free.
Is there any way to upload a file using JQuery or javascript?
What about info path forms?
can we use the info path form to upload a document ithout writing any code?

URL of the custom task form. How to get it
I created a workflow in SharePoint Designer. Under "Task Actions" i selected "Start approval process". Now this approval process automatically send a task mail to the approver with a link such that when the approver clicks on that link, a task is opened and the approver can approve or reject the sharepoint form.
Now the problem that i am facing is, i am sending reminder mails to the approver and i need to send link to that CUSTOM TASK which was part of the mail sent by APPROVAL PROCESS. how can i get that link
Reply:
As far as I understand from your problem, you are using two workflows (one for Approval process and another for Reminders, right?)
If this is the case then you can create a column in your list (on which Reminder workflow is running) and put the Current Task Url from the first approval workflow and then after pick this value from the item on which you are running the Reminder workflow and configure your link to the Current Task.

Shadow copies set up on server 2008 but no previous versions
I have an ADS domain with Server 2008 x64 (not r2). I have set up shadow copies on a second drive on the domain controller, the schedule was set up and when I go to shadow copies tab it shows the scheduled backups have taken place. However when I go to the previous versions tab it is empty with the following message "There are no previous version available". So I am unable to access any previous versions on any folders in that drive?

Hi,
Is this related to Exchange in any way? If not try and ask your question here in the Windows Server forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winservergen/threads
That being said, did you try and create a snapshot manually?

I am having the exact same issue.
4 volumes on the Server C: E: M: and Z:.
I want to setup up shadow copies for the E:\ and use z:\ to store the shadow copies. I set up the schedule and the job runs as it should, a shadow copy is created. However when I browse to a UNC share on the E:\ it reports No Previous Versions.
It was working originally when I set the server up 2 years ago but hasnt worked for the last 6 months. I have tried removing and recreating the job, removing the Z:\ drive completely and reinstalling it, I have also tried using a different rive letter for Y:. If I use the command line to access the shadow copy information it tells me that there are plenty of copies being created.
Did you get anywhere with your issue?

Can you zip up the minidump files in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder and make available (provide link) via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?
The following link has information on using Windows Live SkyDrive:
If you have problems zipping the minidump files copy the minidump files to another location such as a folder on the Desktop
Also, you do not necessarily have to zip up the minidump files, you can upload them one at a time.

Start with enabling driver verifier, then after the next few crashes, the dumps might point more to the cause

Learn to Troubleshoot Windows BSODs

I did the search and then righ click on it and slected run as an administartor.
I first tried all unsigned drivers but there weren't any.
I then selected all drivers. When I clicked finished it said Access Denied. When I closed the dialog box my system rebooted.
I then tried starting in Safe Mode. Logged in with an administrator id and started verifier.exe. Selected all drivers and it said the system would have to reboot. Press OK and got a BSOD.
Tried safe mode again. Logged in with an administator id and started verifier.exe. Again selected all drivers and at the end of the process again got a BSOD.
Tried safe mode again. Logged in with an administator id and started verifier.exe. Selected all drivers. Instead of pressing the OK button when it said the system had to be rebooted I closed the dialog box. Then I restarted the system.
Windows started and brought up the first graphic and stayed there. It did not switch to the login screen. Wait a half hour and gave up. Hit reset and went into safe mode. Started verifier.exe and checked the setting -- all drivers were selected. Went back and selected delecte all settings. Went through the process and got a BSOD.
Repeated a few times and finally did a shutdown and restarted and was able to boot my system.
I think verifier needs to be verified.
Do not use verifier without doing a complete backup of your system.

Reply:
Can you provide the minidump files from the BSODs that you experienced using the Driver Verifier?
Also, can you provide following file which should contain more information on the crash:
C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP
The memory.dmp file will be quite large so to upload it to Windows Live SkyDrive you may have to zip and compress the file with a third party application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR.
------------------------------------
Reply:
The link below is to a zip archive that contains both the mini dumps and MEMORY.DMP from the last crash.
However, I am more interested in researching the problem with my system without verifier. Verifier appears to be fairly dangerous.
------------------------------------
Reply:
The Diver Verifier can be useful but can also, by itself, cause issues.
The minidump files with the Driver Verifier enabled showed the same MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a) stop error with verifier.exe as the process that crashed.
No third party driver appeared to be involved in the crash.
I could not locate the memory.dmp file.
Can you upload the memory.dmp file again?
One thing I might suggest, if you have not already, is to check the physical RAM with a memory tester such as Windows Memory Diagnostic and/or Memtest86+.
Also, when did the crashes start and did the start of the crashes coincide with any software or hardware change.

Hi,
Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).
To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.

So because the BSOD dump process is poorly written I have to pay Microsoft to identify what process was in control when the error orccurred. I assume that if it turns out to be a Microsoft component Microsoft will pay me for the time I spent documenting the problem and working with their technicians. Is that correct?

All you need to do is
restore database DatabaseName with recovery
You will not need to stop the log shipping jobs as they will merely fail. You can disable them at your leisure.

Microsoft Partner Status - From work email to live email
Hi everyone,
I have been using the forums with my personal hotmail (Windows Live) account. My employer is a Microsoft partner and sent me an invite using my work email address (Not the email I use for the forums). Can I link the partner status from my work email to my Windows live email so it will reflect the partner status in the forum?
Thanks

Sharepoint 2010 Workflow pre-value check
Ok, the newb is back.
Process: Email is generated from a 3rd party db (can't rely on the integrity of the data), now based off of said data we are extrapolating what should be a domain\login id (Format should be domain\alphaalpa followed 5 or 6 numeric characters) and that is part of the subject line. That email is being sent into a Sharepoint list.
Successes: Created a workflow to trigger when new item is added by email. Created a calculated column to pull the login id from the subject line, currently the workflow is triggering when the calculated column contains "domain\" and the next step is to update the Assigned To field with that value (yes that does work).
Issue: If the extrapolated Login ID is invalid format/incorrect data I am unable to update the Assigned To field.
Desired Solution: To check if the value of the calculated columns possibly exists in my Assigned To field and possibly return a true/false value (iserror function?). Mind you I am not asking if it's already been entered as a field value for the Assigned To field, I just want a pre-emptive check beforehand.
Restrictions: If there is a way to do this with calculated columns or the GUI in SP Designer workflow great. I don't know where to add code or how, so if someone is going to give that to me as a solution I WILL need idiot instructions :-).
Added Info: I do understand a bit of sql so I'm not completely lost when viewing code, also rather comfortable nesting functions from my excel experience and lastly I AM the SharePoint team...
Thanks in advance for the patience & an assistance that can be provided.

Meeting cancelled for all attendees when 1 invitee decines or deletes meeting
I know this is going to be confusing... try to follow.
User1 Sent an meeting request on behalf of User2.
This meeting went out to Attendees 3,4,5,& 6
Attendee 4 has granted delegate access to his Secretary.
When Attendee 4 receives the meeting request his secretary automatically receives a notification of the meeting.
She declines the meeting. And then all of the rest of the attendees, as well as the original organizer (User1)
What I noticed is when the meeting reaches attendee 4, it's forwarded to his secretary and he is listed as the organizer of the meeting... but that wasn't the case in the beginning.
Why did the meeting change organizers? And why are all the attendees receiving a cancellation notice when the secretary declines the meeting? I assume it's because he was listed as the organizer at this point. But why did it change from the original organizer?

What client is she using? It wouldn't be an Apple device running iOS 6, would it? There's a bug in that OS that does exactly what you're reporting.

------------------------------------
Reply:
Ed, You are exactly right.
Last week I pulled the calendar logs and went through them with MS. We can clearly see that IOS 6 is what caused the meeting to change organizers.
- The calendar item is synchronized with the IPhone
- IPhone changes the calendar item to have it's user as the organizer.
- IPhone syncronizes the changes down to exchange.
- Then if the user or his delegate deletes or declines the calendar item, it sends a cancellation notice to everyone.
And yes, this only started happening right after he updated his device to IOS 6. Thank you Apple... :(
Now I've got this popping up all over the place. I hope a solution is released soon. It's really giving Exchange a bad repution right now, even though it's not really exchange's fault.
I would mark your answer as correct, but For some reason I'm not seeing that option this time. Don't know why.

User Profile Service and Consuming the UPS Service Requires Access to the Database SP2010?
We have a few SharePoint 2010 farms deployed in our organization. In one application vault we have a services and a content farm where the content farm consumes the user profile service without any issues. We have another SP2010 farm and we want to consume the user profile service from the other farm. We have the firewall open to reach the web services application over port 32844. We properly exchanged farm certificates between the consuming and publishing farms but it appears the consuming farm may need access to the content databases related to the user profile service application? Has anybody else ever experienced this where in order to consume a user profile application you need access to the UPS content databases?
One other thing to mention is the domain of the servers of the two farms are different but the service accounts that run both farms are of the same domain.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi.
Check this (see yellow notes)

Also perhaps see this:
Connecting to the User Profile Service Proxy
http://www.aiim.org/community/blogs/expert/Connecting-to-the-User-Profile-Service-Proxy
Have you granted the proper permissions to the account in the consuming farm? Could that be something? Are you using the same accounts in all of the consuming farms, the working and the non-working ones?

Thomas,
Hello we have properly granted the permissions and exchanged the certificates between the two farms. The service accounts are all from the same domain and the services accounts are added to the permissions of the UPService application. The only thing I question is the source farm is in a different domain than the consuming farm. Though both farms run with domain accounts from the same domain. The consuming farm we can see uls logs where it is trying to ready the database server for the profile databases.
We do have another farm in the same domain that is properly consuming this user profile service.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Searching Large SCSM enviroments - Manual Activities not shown in the portal if the number of MAs per user execeeds a number between 1500 and 3000
Hi,
we currently facing an issue:
Manual Activities are not shown within the portal when the number of Manual Activities per User exceed a number between 1500 and 3000.
Now I'm searching for large scale SCSM environments to see if someone else is facing the same issue. We have an open support case and Microsoft told us that this is because of a customization we made in SCSM. I can't believe that as it works with approx. 1500 MAs per user fine.
Does anyone have such a large environment and can check this?
Would be really great – Thanks!

href in HTML area tag not working in IE but works in firefox and google chrome
I am new to HTML programming and JavaScript and currently struggling with compatibility issues between Internet Explorer (IE), and firefox (and google chrome). I am loading an image ( let us say image1) from my local drive. I define an area within image1 using the HTML area tag (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_area.asp) . Now I href (from within area script) into the second image, say image2. Till here IE, Firefox and google chrome href links work well, meaning all the browsers link to image2. In image2, I define another area and use the href within it to link to a graph (made with jquery). This html link works fine in Firefox and Google chrome, but not in IE. Why is this happening ?
Thanks in advance
