Visual Studio alters connection string
Hi all,
I try to connect to an excel file saved on c:\ within a sharepoint project developed in c#.
I guess my problems come from my connection string. I got the error "OleDBException was unhandled" on the line: MyConnection.Open();
When I drag the mouse on the above line: MyConnection.ConnectionString = ...
I get the connection string where c:\ has been replaced by c:\\.
When I erase the '\', there is no more.
Do you think this '\\' is responsible of my error? If it is, does anybody have got any idea of what to do?
Thanks

Hi,
It really depends.
General speaking, a laptop with the same hardware configuration is more expensive than a desktop. A laptop is portable, you can take it anywhere. A desktop is powerfull(most of the time), and you can add other devices such as additonal network adapters, hard disks and etc. easily.
By the way, if you want to learn Windows Server 2008, run Windows Server 2008 as your operating system.
------------------------------------
Reply:
If you are thinking about installing 2008 or 2008 R2 on either laptop or desktop, please be informed that, for most of the hardware you won't get any support for device drivers for 2008 or 2008 R2. Though you can install server os on laptop/desktop but there is no assurance that you will get device drivers.
IMO, go with mid-range laptop which is portable and use oracle Virtual Box to run 2008 or 2008 R2 as virtual machines. Make sure you choose 64bit processor and at least 4 to 6 GB RAM on laptop.
Please give credit to the contributor who really helped you with the issues.

technically speaking laptops are not meant to run the server operating systems as they are not much scale-able as the desktops and another most important things is that while buying the desktop or laptop please make it sure that you have Intel VT enabled.

Hi,
Group Plicy has no option to prevent user change UserInfo.
I only find the registry entry to change UserInfo(UserInitials, UserName), it located to following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\UserInfo
The UserInfo is String Value, it seems cannot block.
As my test, if the new user login computer, and start Office program fist time, Office will prompt dialog box let user change UserInfo.

WSS 3.0 Mainstream Support and FIM 2010 Mainstream Support
What is the future of FIM 2010 after mainstream support of WSS 3.0 is ended? Is the full combination of FIM 2010 with WSS 3.0 still support or what are the recommends paths to get a full supported environment?
The combination of FIM 2010 + WSS 3.0 is, as it looks, no longer mainstream supported on October 9th 2012; the mainsstream support of WSS then ends, however the mainstream support of FIM 2010 ends on 14th of July 2015. As far as I know is the combination of FIM 2010 (not the R2 version) and Sharepoint Foundation 2010 also not a valid option or is it now?

Received this reply from a member of the Product Group of microsoft on request of supoprt FIM2010 in combination with "WSS3.0 SP2 and/or SP3"
When we published the document we also said that we do not plan to test or update the document with every new service pack. The customer is free to add any later service pack and still be supported. When there is a new minor release (e.g. R2) or major release (e.g. SQL2012) then we will test and update the documentation.
In summary, on service pack level the customer will be supported without the documentation being updated."

How to copy items in Document Library to a List in sharePoint 2010 using workflow.
Hi Guys,
I am having a Document Library(form library). I published my Info-path form to my Library.
I want to copy all the contents of that form into a list. i.e. If new item is added to Library It should copy all items to the list.
I tried using it with workflow but getting error.
Please help me with this issue.

Hi
What error are you getting?
Make sure you have a sufficient perrmission to copy item between lists. You can execute this step as a "Impersonation Step" which will be executed using the Workflow author's privilege instead of user who is inserting record.
You can also use VS and event receiver to create and item in the list when infopath is submitted.Regards, Marcin (Please mark as helpful or answered if it helps)

wef42 - I am raising a beer to you :-) Perfect sir.
However, bit of additional info. I had an issue because my console has no keyboard/mouse and I can only login remotely as as admin user (my 'TV' user does not have remote rights - for security).
So;
1. Logon remotely as an admin user and launch regedit.exe
2. In Regedit highlight the HKEY_USERS key and go to File->Load Hive
3. Browse to the users folder (in my case c:\Users\TV) and select NTUSER.DAT, then click Open.
4. Enter a 'Key Name' the same as the users name (anything will do actually...) Click OK.
5. in the HKEY_USERS you will now see a 'folder' (its a 'Hive'), open it and go to Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\MCE.PerUserSettings\showOskOnKeyboardEnter and set it to 1, as described by wef42.
6. Back in HKEY_USERS, highlight the Key Name that appeared in step 4 and select File->Unload Hive. Ok, the confirmation.
Bob's yer uncle - all done.
Note. If you have hacked the Terminal Services to enable concurrent logins (IE. You remote in while the console is still logged in) then go to Task manager (Right click in taskbar and select task manager). Then in Processes tab click 'Show processes from all users' and then go to Users tab. Right click the console user and select Log Off. THEN do the above. Otherwise. when you try to load the NTUSERS.DAT hive in step 3 you will get an Access Denied error.
Thanks wef42! :-)

High profile game developers are very happy about Windows 8!
Gabe Newell (Valve): I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we'll lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people. If that's true, then it will be good to have alternatives to hedge against that eventuality.
Rob Pardo (Vice President of Blizzard Entertaintment): nice interview with Gabe Newell - "I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space* - not awesome for Blizzard either
Markus Persson (developer of Minecraft): If Microsoft decides to lock down Windows 8, it would be very, very bad for Indie games and competition in general. If we can keep open platforms around, there's going to be a lot of very interesting games in ten years, mixed in with the huge AAA games that we all love.
John Carmack (Creator of Doom): "There is nothing exciting about Windows 8"
Brad Wardell (Stardock, producer of Sins of a Solar Empire): Got to play around with the February beta of Windows 8. It is terrible. It is beyond terrible. It is so bad that I'm a little panicked about the future of Windows.
Sure, one can dismiss Newell's statements because the Win 8 appstore threatens Steam, but what about the other ones? We now know what the top PC games developers think about Win 8. Would be interesting to know what the professional application makers (Adobe etc.) think of it.
Reply:
I don't know what the concerns of game publishers/developers really are. What I can say, is the following:
1) Games working on Win7 will work on Win8, too. Despite all the fuss about the new UI, the underlying architecture for the desktop is mostly unchanged.
2) The benefits for touchscreen users aren't important for the big majority of today's PC games. They rely on keyboard input and a precise mouse control of the cursor, the console-like input methods don't work well here. A game like Skyrim which has something like that (side-scrolling menus) immediately saw community mods to correct this design flaw (it was imported from the console version, probably by laziness).
3) Console games are just another genre than PC games. Nobody is happy to develop the same thing for different environments, that's understandable. But you can't get the same crash-free and happy game experience of console games if you don't approve the linearity, less exploration-friendly world and (given the standards of modern PC video cards) graphical limitations those games have. And vice versa.
4) Not to forget, screen size is another issue. Who wants to play a high-resolution game on a 7" device? Even the default resolution of Win8 devices (1366x768) is a joke compared with the possibilities of modern PC's and PC games.
5) As a final aside: If I see the power consumption of actual video cards (caused by the correspondent games, of course), I don't see high "compatibilty" levels with the low-power target of Win8. The games may run but only if the hardware clearly outruns Win8's ideal of portability.
Conclusion: Win8 may not be catastrophic to game makers. They do not benefit from it, so it's maybe an incentive for them to move away from the PC and concentrating their work on video consoles as the future platform. This, among other complaints, would be a loss for the consumer and a coup-de-grâce for most indie games.

Importing from sd card directly to flash drive

Some articles on ehows site and another one that I updating on the above thread but it's still a bit vague can anyone please take a look at the thread and see if you can clarify the issue,
Thanks in advance many users are looking for a way to Not download to their c-drives when they import and do edits on the files on the flash drives instead of taking up space and deleting the files over and over again on their hard drives,
Many of them actually want to do the edits on the sd cards but that does not seem even possible and also have the camera in question acknowledge the sd card,

Windows 8 hopeful
I'm hopeful for 8 but I think MS has a rough road ahead. No it's not Vista, but Vista did clearly show us that it is possible for a Microsoft OS to flop. I used Vista from one of the first betas and I was running Vista on work and home machines for day to day use prior to RTM. To this point I can't realistically use Windows 8. I want to, really but I can't. Guess I can use it and make it like Windows 7 but then, what's the point. I hope MS gets the stuff worked out.
Here are some obvious things for me.
1. Metro is cool, but non geeks need a reason to want it other than looking cool. So far the apps are less than what I would get with Windows 7/ Vista, even prior to this stage in development. Most people are going to need imap or pop3 email, so far it's not available in an MS app - again unless I download and install windows live essentials and run it like 7. My point give people a functional reason to want metro.
2. So far, most pcs are not touch screen and the ones that will be sold this year with 8 on them, most will not be touch screen. So make metro work better with a mouse. Example: In Windows Media Center I have similar looking interface ( I know it's not the same but it has tile looking squares to click on) When I want to scroll to the right or left in media center a little arrow appears when I put my mouse at the edge. To scroll to the right or left with metro I have to go to the bottom of the screen and click scroll bar. This reminds me of "Dos Menu". Makes me feel like Metro was meant for a touch screen not a mouse every time I have to scroll. Most pcs will still be operated with a mouse.
3. Media apps do not work very well for network shares. So far I have been unable to get my photos available in the photos app on any version of 8. My music is somewhat available but it isn't very clean. I can access both from explorer, like I would with Windows 7. If this worked slick it would be a little answer to my first point - give people a functional reason to want to use metro.
4. When I install non metro apps (previously known as software) like MS Office, it doesn't look nice at all in Metro. A program group might be good here and maybe a Metro looking front - I don't have the answer it just doesn't look good.
5. Need the clock on the screen or a way to configure that, especially for a workplace pc.
So I realize we're still in preview stage, maybe this is still before beta and there is a lot of development left but that doesn't fit with a RTM announcement. I hope there is more development to come and my complaints are from trying to evaluate a preview piece of software that isn't intended to be used functionally, daily - wow in the workplace seems impossible. I'm holding out for you windows 8, I'm hopeful but there is a long ways to go still.

Exchange 2007 OWA slow from external network all of a sudden?
We have Exchange 2007 in our environment, just on Exch07 server for everything with no more than 100 users. OWA has been working for over a couple of years without issues and only about 20 users are allowed OWA access. All of a sudden last week, access to OWA from external network has been non-responsive to very slow. We haven't made any changes to our network configuration, hardware, or software. Exchange version is 8.1.436.0; SP1 with Rollup-10.
I am thinking about installing another Exch07 CAS and setup OWA on that server to see if we can redirect OWA access to the new CAS and what kind of results we will get.

Not sure what happened, OWA access externally resume normal speed after a few days. However, we have decided and changed out the firewall appliance just in case and OWA access seems to be running ok so far.

Receive "Product is not installed" message when trying to use the FIM 2010 R2 Configuration Backup tool during upgrade.
While trying to test the upgrade process from FIM 2010 to FIM 2010 R2, I found that the Configuration Backup tool (Microsoft.IdentityManagement.ConfigurationBackup.exe) displays the following message "Product is not installed or tool is not supported on your current installation version." when I try to run it on a Test Lab FIM 2010 server running the 4.0.2606.2 version obtained from the MSDN website.
I see in the Release Notes for FIM 2010 R2 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh322889(v=ws.10).aspx) that there is a known issue with upgrading, in-place, the FIM 2010 Sync Service obtained from the MSDN website, but it is mentioned as being "not supported", and does not specifically mention any messages.
Doing a quick search I'm not finding very much information on the FIM 2010 Portal and Service Configuration Backup tool, so I need some help figuring out what is the issue is, or if this scenario is supported.
I was following the "Test Lab Guide: Upgrading to Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2" (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134458(v=ws.10).aspx) and was working thru "Step 5: Perform Pre-backup Operations".
Reply:
Hi Laurin,
Note that the configuration backup tool only backs up certain configuration created by the FIM Service and Portal MSI and does not do anything with the Synchronization Service. The tool ships part of FIM 2010 R2 Service and Portal setup and automatically detects your deployment if it meets the minimum supported requirements for backing up.
Your configuration will be backed up if your previous deployment was that a Volume License of FIM 2010 RTM (4.0.2592.0) or later. I suspect the tool did not detect and backup your FIM 2010 configuration because your deployment is a pre-FIM 2010 RTM MSDN sku (4.0.2606.2). Was this a patched FIM 2010 RC deployment? I presume it was from the version number but I want to make sure as that version number looks unfamiliar to me.
If you are still interested in making the tool work on this particular version, please let me know and I'll help you make an unsupported configuration change to the tool to help it detect and hence back up your deployment.

Hi SaFanek, we are having the same issue when running the backup utility. What's this tweak that we can make so that it recognizes our version? The version we have is 4.1.1906.0

Oops, I typed the wrong version number in my original post and didn't notice.
The FIM 2010 version I got this error on at first is 4.0.3606.2.
I have since tried it on an installed version of FIM 2010 4.0.3531.2 and gotten the same error.
Both versions appear to be within the supported range, so I'm curious to understand what the tool thinks is wrong.
Yes, reviewing the full backup process the Sync Service configuration is backed up separately via the Synchronization Service Manager console.- Edited by Laurin.K2 Wednesday, June 20, 2012 4:28 PM

Laurin,
The tool looks for the FIM Service and Portal Volume License (VL) sku in the range 4.0.2592.0 (FIM 2010 RTM) to 4.1.2273.0 (FIM 2010 R2). Although your deployment is indeed in the range, I think you are running the MSDN sku, which has a different product code than the VL sku and hence the tool will not back it up. Note that major upgrade of FIM Service and Portal MSDN/EVAL sku (or any cross-sku upgrade for that matter, for example MSDN RTM to VL R2) works but is not supported. Hence the decision to make the tool only detect VL sku deployment.
I just double checked the tool and unfortunately detection logic of the allowed configurations is hardcoded to detect the VL sku only. Apologies but the unsupported configuration change that I suggested earlier will not work.
If you're interested to see what kind of logging the tool does, either test it on the VL sku or navigate to the Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Tools\Configuration Backup\DataSourceConfiguration folder and check the XML files, which contain the configuration which drive the backing up process.
Please feel free to file a bug if you would like to see the tool supporting backing up MSDN/EVAL versions of the FIM product.

Exchange Server 2010 cannot receive Internet email
What do I check for when Exchange cannot receive external (Internet) mail? I checked the following: Send Connector, Receive connector (Anonymous is checked). The server is behind a Sonicwall firewall with port 25 pointing towards the server.
This happened all of a sudden. No one physically changed anything on the box. Users can send external mail. They can also send and receive internally.
The test Exchange Connectivity site lists the following error:
The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
Tell me more about this issue and how to resolve it
Additional Details
A network error occurred while communicating with the remote host.
This is for port 25
