Helios Texpad

Helios Texpad

Here's a really straight forward easy one. I use this for training purposes a lot.

Step 1 - Prepare the sequencing machine by adding the following Exclusions to the Exclusions list:

Launch the App-V Sequencer. Browse to Tools-->Options

%CSIDL_WINDOWS%\Installer

\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Ensure Windows Search and Windows Defender services have been stopped on the machine.

Step 2 - Sequence the Application

Choose all defaults in the App-V Sequencing Wizard until you get to the window prompting you to provide a Package name. Name the package accordingly e.g. Helios Textpad 5.4.2. Take note of the Primary Directory e.g. Q:\Helios Textpad 5.4.2 as you'll want to install the application here. Click Next.

Choose Perform a custom installation. Click Next.

Launch the installeri. Ensure you select custom during the installation, ensure you choose to browse on the Dialog which allows you to choose what components to install, this will allow you to change the install directory. Change it from it's C:\Program Files\  directory to Q:\Helios Textpad 5.4.2 to match the primary directory set earlier in the sequence.

Check the box to indicate the install has been completed once you have successfully installed the application.

One the next screen you can launch Helios Textpad. If you would like you could browse to the Preferences/Options and change the colours or make other customizations. Once you have closed the application. Click Next.

If you would like to stream from a server you should choose to customize the application further. This will allow you to modify the File Type associations and shortcut if you would like. Personally I remove all FTA's because my preference is to leave the default FTAs for txt files etc. to open with Windows native Notepad but it's up to you. When complete click next.

Now you may launch to capture the Feature Block 1 (What will appear first to the user) Here I launch the application and click on File, Edit and Help to ensure the menus appear right on launch time. When complete close the application and click next.

When complete you may select File-->SaveAs

Save the application to the relevant path (what you set in the Deployment tab)

Step 3 - Application Complete

That's it. Helios TextPad is pretty easy. Actually most text editors are, I like to use these for training purposes and they are good for demo-ing the use of File Type Associations.

Any way to turn on BitLocker Pre-Provisioning on a drive?

Hi there.

I was trying to turn on BitLocker with the new Pre-Provisioning feature from a Windows PE, but, of course, it requires TPM.

Any way to turn it on without TPM like you can do it once Windows is installed?

Thank you.

I have live.com as my email server. Why is it that when I delete my in box it automatically goes to my delete file which I have to delete a second time, whereas when I delete my junk file  the word empty comes up and when I click on empty my junk file is gone, without having to delete a second time

Unable to push hotfix as waiting for content issue

Just wanna ask, i recently have package a hotfix in SCCM and deployed it silently to my workstations and servers. It was able to deploy to my workstations but i have issue with deploying it to my servers. When i see the advertisement report, the under Message Name column, it says "Waiting for content". At first i assume that the package is not installed properly to my DP's, but after checking, it is installed. Then i waited for 2-3 hours, but the report still says "Waiting for content". I have even updated my DP's, but still unable to deploy the hotfix to my servers.

When i expand the report, it says to change download content from distribution point and run locally instead of run program from the distribution point. Initially, that was my settings, but still cannot... I got read this website and it says something need to change the applicationHost.config file in the server IIS settings. Before i do any changes, need you guys opinion if anyone encounter this problem before...

Hi,

Yes, I change the applicationshost.config almost everytime I install a Configuration Manager 2007. It is documentet here as well in the Configuration Manager 2007 documentation on Technet. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspx

A hotfix sounds bit strange, do the folder contain any of the file types that are blocked by the IIS Content filtering? I normally end up allowing .mdb files for instance.

Jörgen

Have you managed to deploy a package to the servers before? Are they in the boundaries created in the site? What does CAS.log, Locationservices.log say?

Kev :)


------------------------------------
Reply:
I have checked on the logs and it is correctly pointing to my primary server. But the the only difference i am using ip subnet instead of ip range. I can change to ip range to test but dont know whether it will make any difference or not.... Reason is because my servers that is using ip range is able to get the hotfix....

Reply:
what does ContentTransferManager.log say? is it saying CTM job {xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx} suspended

Kev :)


------------------------------------
Reply:
Yes, it does says CTM job is suspended. Now i just noticed that the servers that unable to get the hotfix falls under ip subnet that is not protected and the servers that is able to get the hotfix falls under protected site system... Is there anyway from the hotfix package that i am able to also include the servers that falls under the unprotected site system or i need to change these servers to protected?

------------------------------------
Reply:
Only clients in the boundary that is added to the protected DP can access the content. You must use another DP/BDP or add the subnet to the protected DP that the servers not getting the hotfix are in.

Kev :)


------------------------------------
Reply:
Ok, got it. Confirmed that it is because the servers is not within the protected boundaries... Thanks guys...

Hi,

okay, in that case you can do the following.

develop custom webpart to display all documents with export button

secondly, you can add checkbox against each document library item

on click on button you can write the code below which will achieve your goal,

using (SPSite sourceSite = new SPSite(http://YouSourceSite-URL))
                    {
                        using (SPWeb sourceWeb = sourceSite.OpenWeb())
                        {
                            SPList sourceList = sourceWeb.Lists["Documents"];
                            SPListItem item = sourceList.GetItemById(id);


                            using (SPSite destSite = new SPSite("YourDestinationSite-URL"))
                            {
                                using (SPWeb destWeb = destSite.OpenWeb())
                                {
                                    SPFolder destFolder = destWeb.Folders["Documents"];


                                    destWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                                    destFolder.Files.Add(item.File.Name, item.File.OpenBinary(), item.Properties, true);
                                    destFolder.Update();
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }

you can also take help the following tool & source code to understand the export & import API.

If I understood you correctly then you can use server object model for wss3.0 and client object model for MOSS2010.

hope this will help.

You can create custom page on WSS 3.0 & use server object model to call SharePoint 2010 client object model.

if you create custom page on SharePoint 2010 then call WSS 3.0 web service.

ISA to ISA IPSec Tunnel - Hosts above certain range can't communicate ?

ISA server A 

Internal range 9.4.0.0 /24

External >< External with ISA server B   Internal range 9.5.0.0

Clients on the inside of ISA B that have ip's over 100 - eg 9.5.0.100 can't ping or browse hosts behind ISA A on the 9.4.0.0 network ?

Anything below 100 work fine. Clients on the 9.5.0.0 network just use their default gateway (the inside interface of ISA B) to connect.

Any ideas ?

I'm guessing something in the routing table, but can't see anything obvious ?   in ISA the internal network addresses on the VPN for both ISA boxes run 9.5.0.0-9.5.0.254 and 9.4.0.0-9.4.0.254.

Hi,

Thank you for the post.

How do you define the static pool for VPN network? What is live logging tell when the host 9.5.0.100 access the host behind ISA A network?

Regards,

Nick Gu - MSFT


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

Hi Nick

Will check out the live logging and see what happens. This is a site to site vpn between one 2004 and one 2006 version of ISA server.

It's created as a network so no address pool. Coming from a Cisco angle should the address ranges include .255 and not just end at 254?

thanks

James

Hi,

is the field multivalue or single valued ?
I think there is a problem that mutli values are not supported. If you like to use multivalue fields to filter you might go for the Enterprise Keywords this supports the filtering using multi value.

Not able to create External Content Type in sharepoint designer on HTTPS enabled site

Hi Team ,

I am not able to create Extenal content type using sharepoint designer 2010 in https enabled site.

Whenever I click on External Content Type option in Sharepoint Designer Ribbon I get below message.

"There was no endpoint listening at https://ServerName:Port/_Vti_bin/BDCAdminService.svc that could accept the messge .this often caused by an incorrect address or SOAPaction.see InnerException,If Present,For more details 

The remote server returned and error :(502) Bad Gateway"

But If I open a http site(Where secured Socket layer is not installed) in Sharepoint designer and try the creation of external content type it works fine .

any thoughts regarding this would be helpful.

Hi,

are you able to check if ssl is configure correctly. Normally this shouldn't be a problem if you use HTTP or HTTPS. Have you tried to open the URL to the service in a normal browser?

You should also check out the following blog post.

User name you entered does not have permission to use self service password reset - following update 2 or 3

The original password reset portal interface had separate textboxes for user name and domain 
   username = "username" and domain = "domain"

In update 2 (and update 3) the "domain" textbox has been removed and there is just the username textbox, which requires (at least in my configuration) the domain to be pre-pended to the username "domain\username" rather than just "username"
   username = "domain\username"

If you had SSPR working and upgraded to Update 2 or 3 you may need to change the way you enter the username or you will get the error above. This took me a while to work out.

Reply:
Yup, this should have been documented it better
The reason for this change is that the same textbox will now support UPN. That's a DCR we took.

In post RTM, we are going to add example on that page so users will have a better idea on what to type there.

So now we are in post RTM, and there is still no example. Maybe this is forgotten and maybe there should be an update for this?

I am having the same issue, so i want to customize the page to show an example to my users since we are a multi domain setup. the problem I have is that I cannot seem to be able to customize the password portal page. Does anyone have any examples that they can share?

Reply:
install RTM Update 1.

Reply:
Thanks, I am just actually getting ready to do that. Reading through the release notes, i did not see any mention of it, so assumed that it did not resolve.

------------------------------------
Reply:
update 1 still doesn't support customization, but it looks much better than before

------------------------------------
Reply:
I haven't tried it yet, but i guess it's not entirely unthinkable that you can edit the page with Sharepoint designer and guide your users that way.

I had the same problem, only get the username box, use this format

Domain name \ username  and it launch the QA Window.

I have put a ticket in with Microsoft but they have a 1-4 hours turn around, just to call back. Wondering if someone else has any thoughts on what I can do. I did the following :

Stopped WDS, deleted %systemroot%\temp\PXEBootImages and followed Microsoft blog to uninstall PXE, delete files (PXEBootFiles and another that isnt recreating itself) and the SMSImages$, remove WDS and reinstall. I am still unable to PXE and it doesnt appear that the boot images are being copied to a location they should be. I have verified that both are distributed to the server.


Reply:
I ended up resolving this before Microsoft called. Apparently instanity works for SCCM, doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. I had to reload the PSP and WDS on the server.

What is the best way to find out if a driver is present in the boot image/configmgr driver store?

Hi,

I have been facing this problem on client machine while creating the driver package for the model in ConfigMgr 2007 SP2. What is the best method to find that a specific driver(Win XP in this case) is already present in the driver store of configmgr or the boot image(mass storage/network) used for PXE booting?The WIN PE boot image version is 3.0.The laptop in question is a Dell Latitude E6230.


Reply:

In the ConfigMgr console, the Drivers tab of the boot image's properties dialog will show you all drivers. Note that WinPE 3.0 is based on Windows 7 and so you should only inject Windows 7 drivers into these boot images regardless of the OS that you are deploying.

To view the drivers in the drivers store, simply go to the Drivers node under OSD in the console.

Thanks for your reply Jason,an additional query,How to confirm during the OSD for a model,that the boot image is missing the network drivers needed for installation?

How to check that the right mass storage 'Driver & its corresponding model' is selcted in the task for the computer model,from tha task sequence?


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

Trial & error for both.

Note that the mass storage driver selection is only valid and applicable if you are deploying XP. For Win Vista and above, there is no need to specifically choose mass storage drivers as the driver methodology for boot critical devices changed with Vista.

If you are so unlucky to still be deploying XP, here's an older post to start you out with mass storage drivers:  http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rzander/archive/2009/08/07/apply-xp-massstorage-drivers-from-sccm-osd-task-sequence.aspx

Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com


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

For checking the network driver presence,is using 'F8>cmd pompt>ipconfig' the right way?

If so could you let me know of such a method for checking the mass storage drivers as well?


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

yes, you could use F8 to check.

a) use F8 to open a console prompt
b) execute diskpart
c) list disk

if diskpart shows disk, then the storage controller is visible and you should be able to list partitions, create partitions.
if this works, then OSD should be able to do the same.

MDT doesn't install appications from network share

Hi,

MDT doesn't install appications from network share but with one expection  Office 2007, which is installed from different server.

If I copy the Adobe reader, flash and other msi files to DeploymentShare on MDT machine it works.

Does someone knows what could be the problem ?

Thanks. 


Reply:

Why do you use another network location, and not the option to embed application source files into the deploymentshare?

This means you need to work around something that ideally works perfect. MDT offers applications from with the deploymentshare, which works with absolute and relative paths like".\Applications, %DEPLOYROOT% and %SCRIPTROOT%. Going beyond the boundaries of the MDT folders needs a closer look on how the applications are advertised. So please post a screenshot of an application detailed pane. So we can see which installpatch you have used.

Is there a reason why you chose to leave application source files out of the deploymentshare? MDT's impact on a server is very low, because it is only files and scripts. No services or other things are involved using MDT. It can practically be used on every machine which has enough disk capacity / throuhput and network IO available. So my suggestion is to use MDT the way it is supposed to.

The only scenario I can imagine using applications without source files is if I wanted to use the same application source twice, for instance installing Office 2010 with multiple MSP files for multiple customers or different installations.

edit: also this should have been a question, instead of a discussion.

Keep us posted, and if helpful please rate! Kind regards

MDT will need credentials to connect to other network shares. 

Create a service account that has access to the network shares then add the credentials to the customsettings.ini like in this example:

UserID=Andrew
UserDomain=ScriptimusExMachina
UserPassword=HardPassw0rd!

OK, and to which section customsettings.ini  [Settings] or [Default] ?

Hi,

well I want to use the apps without source file that I got all installations [ Office, other SW ] on other server and I don't want to have it duplicated on two places.

100% the problems are credetials. If I put same LOCAL PC administrator PW as is on server [ where the apps are ] all installation works without problems [ I test it today ]. But what If I want to configure different credentials to install the apps from MDT ? How to configure it and thats the problem ?

Reply:

the user id being used for the lite touch deployment also needs to have access to the share where you have your application installs.

Thanks For the reply Sanjeewan.

But my issue is in my cube the value for region is in nos.

e.g. [Case].[Case Region].&[22] 

and display value is Americas

how can i pass the nos. as parameters then? coz in my query 

select  [Case].[Case Region].members on rows

from Master

output i get is Americas,Europe etc..

and in my subreport when i pass it as parameters i need to pass as 22,32 etc.

how can i achieve this?

Thanks & Regards, Chaitali Thaker

Hi,

1. Either you create TSQl like

Select Region ID , Region name from {your table } and create a dataset and map it with main data set follow the link same is done there

or

if you want in MDX only then

Create a calculated like

Member Test as [Case].[Case Region].currentmember.Uniquename , Now create a field in your report with this calculated member name in rdl  and pass this field . if you are going to pass multiple value then you have to use generate function . but proble with this it does not refresh when using as cascading parameter. in my point of view if possible use TSQl Query to pass parameter

Your wifi password may be stored on other devices you use to connect to the wifi, but if nothing else you can just restore your wifi router in your home to factory settings and go through the setup process for it again, which will give it a new wifi password.  Documentation for your wifi router should cover this, and if you dont still have it you can probably find it online.  Good luck!

I would like to make sure GALsync target.

I would like to make sure GALsync setting.

1.

GALsync target is objects which exist in ConfigureDirectoryPartition container OU,and SelectObjectType selected object.(contact object may also be included ??)

2.

ConfigureGAL,target is OU which contact object is created from Other MA import & sync.

3.

Container with authoritative contact is OU which include contacts to be distributed to Other MAs from this MA. 

4.

ConfigureDirectoryPartition container OU need to include ConfigureGAL target OU.

It is my understanding now. Is it correct ? 

I am not sure about contact object in ConfigureDirectoryPartition container and Container with authoritative contact .(if ConfigureDirectoryPartition container include contact object , it is not sync target if it is not authoritative contact ? )
