How to reopen closed notebook OneNote 2015 windows 8.1

I'm think this might be the wrong forum, but there was no choice in the bloody list for office 2015 (Office 365 could be it, but when they break the naming convention it couldn't hurt to put office 2015 in parenthesis could it?), so please redirect me (after answering my question if possible) if that is the case.

Googling this question only came up with the answer click file->open the notebook, but there is no file button I can see. Clicking the image of 3 horizontal parallel lines in the top lefthand corner (where file usually is) opens up another column for other notebooks that are currently open. This column also contains options for adding additional accounts or creating an entirely new notebook, but no option for opening closed notebooks. Can anyone tell me how to open a closed notebook?

Also I have got to say I can appreciate the fact that they were trying to be minimalistic in the number of options and menus (and having none of the o-so handy persistent bars at the top and bottom of the screen for tasks or options), but why is that more important than making something as simple as opening a closed file intuitive and simple?

Reply:

I fiddled around with it a bit, tried the last clickable thing I had not clicked: the add account thing, then clicked cancel or back, then another item appeared in the notebooks column. It was a drop down menu that contained all of the notebooks that had been closed on my account, clicking on the closed notebooks in this menu reopens them (for anyone with a similar problem).

Please remove Spyhunter 4 from my programs

Every time I try to remove spyhunter 4 from the control panel to uninstall it says I don't have permission and must get permission from the administrator. How can I remove this

Reply:

Are you logged in under and administrator account? If so and you are still getting that error then take ownership of the root folder it is installed under using this method.

If for some reason you cannot uninstall after confirming you are under an admin account and taking ownership of the folder you can try to uninstall from the CMD by following these instructions.

How to Monitor ADFS 3.0 Web Service URL

hi Experts,

We are in plan to deploy ADFS 3.0 setup in our environment. we have a ADFS Service as https://adfs.domain.com(example). IF this URL service functionality is not working then it should inform IT admins. My query is :-

1. How do I monitor the ADFS Service URL from Externally from internet and also from internal LAN.

2. We have F5 - GTM product which gives a hit to URL and checks input from Web server (like any string). In Our Case, we are using ADFS proxy 2012 R2 (Remote access feature). What can I do on URl web page so it can give a string/any output to Monitoring tool (F5-GTM).

Please suggest on above or you can also provide any other better solution for this.

Logging level for SPMonitoredScope

I am developing multi thread application on SharePoint, and i am trying to verify if the timing of threads is controlled correctly by using SPMonitoredScope. When a thread enter and leaving a section, it will write message in ULS log. And after importing this uls log entries into WSS_Logging db, i can query these logs with sql to find out where the timing is correct.

However, the problem is:

SharePoint seems only import trace log with level higher than Mornitorable into DB. So, i use TraceSeverity.Monitorable in constructor of SPMonitoredScope. but SharePoint log the "Leaving monitored scope" entry with High level, that is to say, only "Entering mornitered scope" is imported into db, without "Leaving mornitored scope".

I tried to raise the TraceSeverity level to Unexpected in constructor of SPMornitoredScope, still the result is the same.

Remove Autosum from Powerpivot Colunmns / Force List Filter Mode

Hi,

i want to configure all filters with List Filter Mode, and i've noticed that some table columns that i use as filter, for example, year or week, always open as range mode.

I've also noticed that this table columns have AutoSum enabled, as they are numbers. I don't know if i change the table column to text if i will have problems with my calculations. So the question is if is there anyway to remove AutoSum from these columns, and if possible to change the columns for text.

Hello - If I understood correctly you are trying to achieve sort of running counter that shows changing time like we see in websites. I must tell you that T-SQL is not meant for this. This has to dealt within some client side programming language such Javascript or something else.

At best, you can use While Loop or WAIT FOR but they are designed for specific purpose & I personally do not think that would serve your purpose

Good Luck!

Problem with Exchange UM Auto Attendant

Hi,

we are using Echange 2013 UM and Lync 2013. We have created an UM Dial Plan with the Subscriber and Auto Attendant. Everything is okay, unless I got one strange problem I need help with. As soon as I am enabling the Set the auto attendant to respond to voice commands, the Attendant responds with "Please call again later, goodbye". When I am disabling it, it works withount issues. I do not have the an auto attendant configured if voice fails, which is an option. Is that mandatory ? Where is the issue ? We are running Exchange 2013 CU8 with the German and English Language Pack installed.

Hi, the most important matter when talking about Wsus is the need of restarting Servers after applying updates.

It's not always easy to restart a server during working hours.

The second thing, some small/medium enterprises uses Wsus to update third party softwares (like Adobe Reader, Java and so on). Local Publishing, need to be keep active on future release of Wsus. And some improvements can be made (like managing detectoids)

Hi David,

Reboots are very disruptive especially for servers. We've tried many different approaches to reduce or eliminate reboots and have eliminated many of them over time, but at the core there is a very hard problem: how can code execute rapidly to fulfill user/business tasks and at the same time change to a new version? Code can only be updated if it is not running and there are parts of the operating system that never stop running except during a reboot - for instance, the kernel and some drivers. I'll add "Managing reboots" to the forums to see if there is interest from other IT pros for a deep dive discussion on this topic

I wonder why you mention restarting a server during working hours. Many IT environments use maintenance windows (days or times at which servers are least used) for reboots. This could be on sunday at 3 am for instance. Reboots can be scheduled to happen during those time windows so that users and business processes are not affected. Does this not work for you?

Thx

Thierry

Hi Thierry,

"I wonder why you mention restarting a server during working hours. Many IT environments use maintenance windows (days or times at which servers are least used) for reboots. This could be on sunday at 3 am for instance."

In fact, we are using some poorly developed application that needs to be manually launch once we have opened a Windows session. So, we cannot afford to schedule a reboot at night.

Bug in Get Windows 10 App

Not sure if this is the right place to report a bug. If not, please point me in the right direction.

Anyway, the bug is that, if someone has already registered for the Upgrade to Windows 10 and has registered for email notification, and do certain things (see reproduction method below), it will ask them to re-input their email, and it'll also actually resend it.

Reproduction: Make sure you've already met the requirements of this bug as described above. Next, right-click on the Get Windows 10 icon in your taskbar. Select "Check your upgrade status". Instead of pointing you to the "All done" screen like it should, it points back to the email input screen. This bug will actually resend the initial "Congratulations" email. If the confirmation is accessed by entering the Get Windows 10 app and clicking "View confirmation", it is shown as it should be, even after following the above steps to reproduce this bug.

SMB Direct

Hi,

I have two machines server 2012 OS with 10 GB regular and 56 GbE network card.

SMB direct is enable using powershell in both OSs (Enable-NetAdapterRDMA or Set-NetOffloadGlobalSetting -NetworkDirect Enabled for all cards).

Are there any additional settings needed for configuring SMB Direct in windows server 2012?

Write speed is 1.5 Gb/s and then drop to 400 MB/s. Also read speed 600 MB/s. Also 1.5 GbE seems to be inconsistent (sometimes even 870 MB/s write).

Any idea what is missing in order to use more bandwidth of adapter? I would expect it to be faster and use more bandwidth.

Additional questions:

How to verify smbdirect is working while copying files in IB mode?

Is there any way to capture network traffic while in IB mode?

Best way to measure times?

Are you familiar with good links of RDMA\SMB Direct monitor counters?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thank you,

Limor

Reply:

SMB Direct is a feature that requires NICs that support the capability. It is not available on all NICs. Check with your NIC vendors to see if they support SMB Direct (RDMA) on their NICs. Generally speaking, if you have a vanilla 10 GE card, it is not likely to support RDMA. Every RDMA card I am familiar with runs at 40 Gbps or higher.

Reply:

Hi tim,

First, thanks for your reply.

I am using 40\56 Gbps network card and this NIC supports RDMA for sure (I am in touch with the vendor).

Are the settings of SMB Direct (described above) are enough? I want to verify that the environment is configured OK to allow the highest performance.

From your experience with 40 Gbps NIC, did you see that whole bandwidth is getting exploited with SMB Direct? (Read\Write) are you familiar with numbers?

Thanks a lot for your answer,

Limor

Workaround for Home Page icon in Edge

Currently Edge has no Home Page icon. Here is a workaround for that.

Have Favorites Bar showing. Open the site used as Home Page. Save it to Favorites Bar & name it Home Page. Bit crude, maybe, but, it works. :)

(From a person in another IT Forum)

One thing, it does save back paging twice to go from Reading View back to Home Page; now one click back to it. (W/out this, one went to an item, article, on the HP or from it then, selected Reading View... when read would go back to article normal view then, back to Home Page)

[Forum FAQ] Export site collection and import it to be subsite of another site collection in SharePoint 2013

Scenario：

Customer needs to export site collection to be subsite of another site collection, while he encounters the issue "cannot import site. The exported site based on the template BLANKINTERNET#0 but the destination site based on the template STS#1".

Solution:

In SharePoint 2013, target site template should match the source site template. We can create subsite in target site collection based on the same template as source site. However, in this customer's situation, he uses Publishing Portal as source site collection, we cannot create subsite based on this template via UI.

We need to use PowerShell to create subsite based on this template:

New-SPWeb http://targetsite/subsite -Template "BLANKINTERNET#0"

Then import site via the command:

Import-spweb -identity http://targetsite/subsite-path c:\export.cmp

The following screenshot is for reproducing the issue and resolution.

[Forum FAQ] Display parent site calendar on subsites in SharePoint online

Scenario：

In SharePoint online, the customer uses sites to collaborate all projects with a subsite for each project. On parent site, there is a calendar which has general information about all projects. He needs to show this calendar on the individual project subsites but with the information filtered to only contains events relevant to the project. However, calendar list cannot be displayed in subsites by default.

Solution:

On parent site, the calendar can be filtered by views for each project. Then we can use Data View Web Part to display parent site calendar on individual subsites:

There is a calendar named Cal-Parent on parent site. I create a Calendar view to filter for Meeting Category.
Open parent site with SharePoint Designer, navigate to Site pages, and create a new web part page Full, Vertical.
Insert Data View > Cal-Parent, then save the web part to Site Gallery. Click Yes when dialog pops up.
Now access subsite via browser, create a site page, and insert web part > Miscellaneous, you will find your newly created web part in Designer.
Add the web part and edit the properties > Selected Views, switch to the Meeting view.
Now you will see the expected calendar view, and if you create items in parent site calendar, it will sync to subsites.

Here are the screenshots during the test:

Scheduled Task only fails to print when user not logged in

Setting the stage:
I am trying to print pdf reports to a networked printer from a scheduled task at 6am daily. I have a Powershell 2.0 script on WIndows 2008 R2 that checks for a trigger file with a path to the folder the pdf reports are in and then iterates over the files looking for 3 specific files to print and then prints them to the default printer which is an installed network printer. This task is set to run "whether the user is logged in or not" and is set "to run with the highest privileges". It is set to run under a service account with admin access that was also the user that installed the printer. The code used to print to the default printer is:

Start-Process -FilePath "$archivePath\$($pdf.Name)" -Verb Print

The Problem:
The issue I am having is that the process only actually prints if the user is logged into the server. Everything else works, the logging the opening of the pdf in adobe reader, everything. It just will not send the report to the printer. If I log in at 5:55am and watch the process and the print spooler I can see everything work, however if I log in at 6:01am I can see the processes running in task manager and track the log but the reports never get sent to the printer.
What I have tried:
I have tried to run this from a bat script that self elevated the powershell in the hopes it was a permission issue using:

SET PowerShellScriptPath=D:\Scripts\Print_HFM_Reports.ps1START /WAIT PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList '-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "%PowerShellScriptPath%"' -Verb RunAs}";

I am not sure what else to check or change. I am not getting any errors in the event viewer or anywhere else. The Print just doesn't work and right now my only option is to get up at 5:45 and log in.

That is correct. Shell verbs require a full user interactive session. You will need to use direct Adobe automation too print a PDF. Post in Adobe forum to learn how to use Reader to print from a script.

Based on all the searching I have done, this should work for Adobe reader 9.5 and all I can find reference to is a "Session 0" issue. I have not been able to find anything that would ensure printing via a scheduled task without the user actually logged in will work. Does the "RunAs" verb in Powershell not load the specified profile? Is there a registry setting that sets the default printer to a specific printer for "All" users on a machine? I am just not sure what to try at this point I have been trying to find a solution for over 3 months and directing me to Adobe forums was...less then helpful. I looked everywhere I thought I could find an answer and tried all that made sense. Posting was a last resort.

I will give these a try thank you. I have been trying your first recommendation with regard to the command line call for Adobe and was trying to call it from the Powershell script I have in place now with:

$command = "AcroRd32.exe /N /T $archivePath\$($pdf.Name) \\<printServer>\<printerName>"  & $command "$archivePath\$($pdf.Name)"

But this just hangs with the Adobe screen open and will not continue past the "&" call until the Adobe window is closed. I am not able to stack command line calls and exit it or call an exit after the initial Powershell call to the "&" call. I have tried including "cmd.exe /C" before all of it and it does not matter. Any suggestions?

$arlist=@(   '/N',   '/T c:\temp3\f1040.pdf',    'HP LaserJet Professional P 1102w'  )  $acro="${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\adobe\reader 11.0\Reader\acrord32.exe"    Start-Process -FilePath $acro -ArgumentList

\_(ツ)_/

Using your argument list convention I was able to get the process to run but I still had to use the UNC. Without it I would constantly get a "File not found" issue in Adobe. Thanks for the guidance.

Have you achieved the silent printing to work using the Printer UNC. Please kindly explain..

If it continues to happen I'd get in touch with the hardware manufacturer.

5 days later I had the same issue.

Here's the dump file: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A4C0CA009AA14F65!110&authkey=!AP1c-iA94vV-i0k&ithint=file%2czip

The hardware is out of warranty. I just want to know what the problem is so that I can fix it.

You'll need to ask the hardware vendor.
