Robocopy Hides Destination Folder
I have a laptop that I was to backup the my docs folder to a server. I have a robocopy script that runs that also copies the desktop and favorites.
The script starts by making the dir on the destination and then pauses. At this point I can see all the directors on the destination server (desktop, docs, favorites). As robocopy continues it copies the my docs contents and then hides the my docs folder. The desktop and favorites folder are still visible.
Here is the script:
mkdir "\\server\User_Docs\%username%\Desktop"
mkdir "\\server\User_Docs\%username%\Favorites"
mkdir "\\server\User_Docs\%username%\MyDocs"
robocopy "%userprofile%\Desktop" "\\server\User_Docs\%username%\Desktop" /MAX:104857600 /mir /e /zb /R:1 /W:1 /xf file *.avi *.mov *.wma *.mp3 *.acc
robocopy "%userprofile%\Favorites" "\\server\User_Docs\%username%\Favorites" /MAX:104857600 /mir /e /zb /R:1 /W:1 /xf file *.avi *.mov *.wma *.mp3 *.acc
robocopy "%userprofile%\My Documents" "\\server\User_Docs\%username%\MyDocs" /MAX:104857600 /mir /e /zb /R:1 /W:1 /xf file *.avi *.mov *.wma *.mp3 *.acc
pause
Any ideas???

Hi Vincent,
the link you refer to does not solve the OP's problem. It merely confirms that this problem does exist with robocopy and that the OP could unhide the hidden folders with attrib.exe (which he probably knows anyway).

hass and associates cyber security-Hacker Ethics
Believed to have originated from MIT between the 50s and 60s, hacker ethics are like unwritten rules, guiding philosophy and morals, that are silently observed by the hacking community. They are not actually discussed or debated but understood, accepted and agreed (by their community) implicitly.
Hackers are staunch supporters of open-source software and freeware because of the nature behind those that allow them to access the source code (useful in reuse and improvement). Access to anything that can teach people something should not be limited as we understand more on how things work the more we tinker.
They are also firm believers that information must be free to all for the purpose of reinvention, improvement and repair. For them, free exchange of data fosters more creativity. Hackers argue that people effectively learn from and improve existing systems and ideas if there is more access, ergo more technological improvement.
Hackers follow a system based on merits and skill where demographic criteria are deemed irrelevant.

No Color! No Contrast! No Good!
Internet connection priority keeps switching back to "automatic".
Hello,
I have two internet connections:
1 - cable
2 - 3G modem
I would like (1) to be the default one, and (2) to be used only when (1) is down.
I changed the metrics value in the connection preferences (under Advanced TCP/IP Settings): "1" for (1) and "9999" for (2).
Unfortunately, this value is not saved. When I reconnect, the metrics value switches back to "automatic".
Now (2) is used as a default internet connection, and (1) as a backup. I want it to be the other way round.
Why the metrics value keeps switching back to "automatic"? How to save the priority as I wish?
Thank you very much :)

Hi,
What device are you using to manipulate the mouse pointer? Touchpad? Trackpad?
I am asking because I am experiencing huge problems with touchpad on my DELL 4310. That's a pretty old notebook (like late '11, shipped with Windows 7) but still it's quite strange to see this happen. What I am taking about is mostly exactly opposite experience: quite often my mouse pointer slows down and I can't move it normally. Mouse movements become sluggish, slow, and jerky.
The workaround is to lock the notebook and unlock it by logging in back (or just login-logoff) but it does not work sometimes. As far as I can see, the problem lies in touchpad drivers and it's quite strange there isn't no generic driver.
Does it look similar to your problem?
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

I am using an e-Machine laptop, bought new about a year and a half ago, that came with Windows 7. I was told with a message that I don't have Secure Boot, nor could it be downloaded. Is that the same as Safe Mode. Also the diagnostics on Windows 8 says my driver is bad. I already lost the use of being able to burn cds when I downloaded one of the many W7 Pre-Release beta programs, although when I checked it, it said it was NOT bad. So now the same thing is happening with another driver, that is affecting my touchpad. Someone on one of the beta testing forums told me cursor jumping is a common problem with beta testers who use a laptop, but that it would be fixed before going on public sale. Now I have purchased Windows 8 online for $39.99, and the cursor jumping is worse than ever when it happens. All my drivers have been diagnosed as being fine. I am already on automatic updates with Windows programs. I don't know what BIOS and Chipset are either.
When I try to burn a cd to a blank, it goes to about 50%, then tells me it cannot continue. Yet when I use diagnostics to check the drivers, it tells me they are fine.
I went in and tried to use the Voice Recognition system, but couldn't get it to work either. I thought if I typed less, and the computer did the typing for me, that it would help solve the problem with the cursor jumping all over the place and deleting or inserting words wherever it so chooses. This does not happen all the time, just some of the time, but it's enough to drive a person nuts when it does happen. Slowing down the mouse didn't help at all. It became so slow it wouldn't even move, so I readjusted it back to normal.
Thank you both for responding. I will see what I can find out about BIOS and Chipset online.

I just paid $39.99 to download Windows 8, after being a beta tester for a long, long time. I was told that once the public release version of Windows 8 was on sale that the cursor jumping would stop. It is as bad as ever though. Will this problem please be fixed by Microsoft as an update?
http://www.angelfire.com/sc2/DrGary123/Links.html
So you've had this problem around for quite a while? And you have only been using Windows 8 on this machine?
This has nothing to do with Windows 8 (and btw typically not a software problem based on my experience. I've experienced such problems as well from time to time ...).
This is a physical problem triggering the software to move the mouse cursor around. This will typically be an external event triggering the mouse to move (jump) around.
a) If an external event that could be:
Malfunctioning mouse or pads i.e. crap touching some pad while you are using a mouse or another pad to work with the machine.
it could just be a piece of paper or a hanging wire close to the surface of the pad only seemingly touch the pad.
Test your input stuff for the mouse cursor ...
Disconnect any mouse or pad stuff - and go the machine and take a look at its pad if it has one (whatever controls the mouse). Also test the machine for stuck keys (i.e. dirt or crap keeping keys in their down or pressed position).
Replace any mouses. I.e. initially disconnect any mouse input stuff. The reapply 1 at a time or try using a new mouse ...
b) If an internal event that could be:
- malfunctioning bult-in hardware as someone else proposed. Try physically to disable your touchpad.
- If you only upgraded then reinstall Windows 8. If you were trying to manage drivers yourself - but not doing it correctly - then do not install any non-Windows 8 certified drivers. Best, do not manually install any drivers and let Windows 8 update configure the machine for you.

Joydoctor - For the mouse problem.. let me summarize - you purchased an emachines laptop and the mouse pointer when using the touchpad is very jumpy in Windows 7. You downloaded the Windows-8 beta and the touchpad was still jumpy. You purchased full Windows-8 and the pointer is still jumpy.
It could be any number of problems - hardware problem with the touchpad, or a bad Win7 driver that is still being used by Win8, or some kind of app that is interferring with the touchpad driver that is still installed after you upgraded to Win8.
Please give us some more information
What model of laptop.
Was the jumpiness there on day 1 of using your new laptop or did it happen later - was it suddenly bad or did it jump a tiny amount and slowly got worse?
What are the drivers you are using? right-click on the touchpad in device manager and report the details
If you boot up in safe mode does it still jump? to boot in safe mode, select reboot from the power options and then hit F8 while booting up. You will get a minimal version of Windows with just enough to work. Check the touchpad functionality then reboot back to normal.
(other viewers....help me out here - is it still F8 on Windows-8 or do you select the start options via GUI? I don't have my system in front of me at the moment)

The drivers listed for the E525 touchpad are from 2009 so I am guessing you have the latest. Since it appears from the e-Machines website that model E525 does not support Windows-8, you will probably not be able to get much help from them on this one and it may be awhile (if ever) before they release updated drivers since they are most likely not going to update them for Windows-8
I still recommend booting into safe mode. This will eliminate any other programs that might be interfering with the touchpad. If it works fine then you know there is another app also trying to control the touchpad and they are fighting each other. If it doesn't work, then its either an incompatibility with the driver and Windows8 or the pad is broken.
Also, I am not a lawyer so I cannot give any legal advice, but my understanding is unless you have a very special case...Downloading the Pre-Release of Windows 8 does not invalidate your Windows 7 license. (I was a RC user), likewise, I believe purchasing a Windows-8 "Upgrade" only invalidates the Windows7 license if you are actively using Windows8. If you choose to go back to Windows7 the license is still active....however you are not to use Windows7 on a machine and the upgrade Windows8 on a different machine.
Of course, if you never made re-installation disks for WIndows 7 then you will have a tough time installing it ;-) but I believe you are permitted to do so
Another idea might be to try a windows8 touchpad driver. The model E732 supports Windows8 and has a updated touchpad driver. I don't know if it will install on your model but its worth a try.. the link is at: http://support.gateway.com/us/en/emac/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3333

My computer says I don't have Secure Boot, nor do I know where to find it. I have gone to the e-Machines website and downloaded all those downloads available. I am sure they got wiped out when all my other files and programs did. I do still have my Product Key for Windows 7, but there is no way I can even prove I had it since it came installed. I already tried to type in the Product Key to get it back and it wouldn't accept it. I suffer from really bad nerves, grief, and depression, so none of this is helping all that. I do appreciate everyone trying to help though. And I did go and download those new downloads on E-Machines website you recommended.

Secure Boot is not the same as Safe Mode. Secure Boot will not help you fix anything, as it is just a mechanism to ensure only trusted files are used to boot the operating system. It is an anti-malware security feature, nothing more.
You could rule out hardware issues by trying a Live CD image: http://www.debian.org/CD/live/
Booting from a CD or USB drive would allow you to test the touchpad under linux without making any changes to your system.
If it works properly in linux, then it must be a software, driver, or Windows OS issue.

My e-Machines is a Model E525. I had no problems with Windows 7 at all. Problems began after I became a beta tester for the Pre-Release Windows 8, and lost all my programs and files with each upgrade. I tried to contact Microsoft and asked for Windows 7 again but that wasn't possible unless I wanted to pay for it again. My cd burner stopped burning cds for no apparent reason. I did diagnostics and it said my drivers all are fine. Then my cursor began jumping all over the place every time I was typing anything. I was told that was because beta testers who are using laptops seem to have that problem, but that it would be fixed before Windows 8 would go on sale publicly. So I purchased a download of Windows 8, and the problem with the cursor is worse than ever, although it does seem to be somewhat better since I downloaded that free program earlier today. As you can see from one of my earlier posts above, sometimes it just goes crazy, and does all kinds of things. I requested all that mess be removed by a moderator, but it's still there. Nothing I did would delete it. I am sick of trying now, so just delete this entire question please. I will just put up with it until I get an upgrade that will fix it. Thank you all for trying to help.Hello, I have upgraded to windows 8 a couple of days ago and like you was having the same problem to the extent it was making my laptop unusable as I type lots of papers/ minutes etc. Anyhow did lots of googling, (a lot of people seem to have this problem) downloaded a few drivers etc to no joy - just been into device manager and rolled back the mouse drive to a very old 2006 one and whoo hoo mouse now seems to be fine. May work for you if you haven't already sorted it.

How to configure SCOM monitoring for cluster servers for SCOM 2007 R2
Hi,
We need to set up SCOM monitoring for 2 cluster servers. But i cannot see these 2 servers in SCOM servers list. Where as the nodes for these 2 servers are available in the list. Can anyone help me out.?
Reply:
Hello,
I presume you already imported Cluster Management pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2268), thereafter you have to enable agent proxy in order to allow the nodes of your cluster to discover cluster resources :
- Open SCOM console
- Go in Administration / Device Management / Agent Managed
- Right click on one of your cluster node, then properties
- In security tab, tick "Allow this agent to act as a proxy ..."
Do the same for the other node, and after a while cluster objects will be discovered.
Regards
Julien

Currently i am connected to SQL server db connection through SQL login credential and planning to use Windows Active Directory Authentication now, before implementation i am wondering which authentication is better in performance and all or SQL Server Login credential?
please advise...
Thanks.

Error when running SP2 Preupgrade Check
Hello,
I attempted to run a preupgradecheck on our 2007 farm. I used the Stsadm command:
stsadm -o preupgradecheck
I received the following error:
"Could not load file or assembly 'BPA.UserInterface, Version=8.0.669.0, Culture=neutral, PublickeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the specified file."
I also tried the following and got the same error:
stsadm -o preupgradecheck –localonly
I don't know where that file lives or how to fix it. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Ana

Dear Anna,
I have faced the same problem on my machine and resolved by following mentioned:
I would also recommend you to check the following:
1. You have sp2 installed
2. you are running your command prompt with Admin rights.
3. Open the 12 hive/bin folder at command prompt. Normally it is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN
4. run the command "stsadm -o preupgradecheck "
I hope this will solve your issue.
Thanks,
Ibrahim

HI Anna,
I have the exact same problem. Can I ask which version of windows you are using? Can you provide link to what you downloded that solved your problem.
Thanks

Thank you for these steps. Our problem was that there was a PATH entry referencing an old version of stsadm installed on the machine. Navigating to the bin directory solved this issue as we were explicitly calling the version of stsadm which came with 2007 SP2.
Thanks again.

Dir CMD_SHELL to A shared folder
I have a Stored procedure implemented on a db. That
EXEC MASTER.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'dir D:etc '
I want to set a Shared file in Storage and Mangement in windows Server 2008 on a different server. When I map the file and try to create the path it only implements the drive name and not all the full path.
Is this the correct procedure or is there multiple way's of acheiving this.
Regards
Richard

MS Patch Management and 3rd Party App Compliance
So as of now my company only allows workstations to be rebooted one night a week. We suppress reboots on all other days and do a companywide reboot of workstations every Monday night. We're having difficulties keeping up with Security compliance on MS patches, security hot-fixes and 3rd party applications. It seems that our 2500 workstations are constantly pending a reboot and behind from where we need to be. We would like to allow all workstations to reboot everynight using a window, but it seems that the business side isn't going to have it.
How does everyone else handle this?

1. Created Maintenance window is best
2. Create a program is valid from 1am to 3am and expires at that point, run the shutdown.exe. This would have to be changed weekly.
3. Create a scheduled task and add it to the machine. Have it check for a pending restart (Registry settings) and restart at x time every monday at 1AM.

We also created a popup to the user to notify them that a restart is required and reboot as soon as possible (HTA). Otherwise if no user is logged on at 1AM, we force the restart of the machine.

How to Check user Sent item in Exchange 2003

Depending on when the message(s) were deleted you can check the dumpster, this also depends on your Deletion settings (dumpster) configured on the Exch DB.
If journaling was enabled for that user/db where the mbx reside for that period, it should be in the journal mbx unless someone has been "housekeeping" on that too.
Other option would be to recover from backups, either the messages or just the tracking logs.

Improving Azure XS Instances (discussion + vote)
Without trying to make is sound like XS should offer the world for free I thought a little discussion post about minor but significant improvements (wish list) to the Azure XS instance.
Azure XS can be great for development or test or quickly running up something but more often than not run into a couple rather extremely low (imo) doorways...
Azure XS we all know looks like 768mb/1Core(shared)/5Mbps Outbound WAN.(Vote for 20Mbit here)
CPU for 'XS' instance is fine, certainly preferable over Amazons choke-of-death model.
-> Memory when used with WinSvr VM/RoleWkr/Web is definitely doorway #2 for as the OS gobbles up quite a bit in general it leaves maybe 250-300mb for whatever you're trying to do in it.
-> Outbound WAN (5Mbit) is definitely doorway #1 and seems to be quite far behind it's competitor offerings.
So what would my wish on XS be? Bump the Outbound WAN to 20mbps and RAM to 1024. CPU is fine for the money for me at least even if these 2 small changes cost 50% more than the existing it would be a really make XS much more useful for small background tasks, small sites etc.
As it is now to gain such small improvements (a little extra ram and IO) the expense to use S instances for this task (1.75GB/100Mbit) at 4x the cost isn't cost effective and just results in a fair bit of resource wastage.
Anyone else have some thoughts about XS instances?

I'm a big fan of XS instances. They are very well suited for Worker Role deployments where you don't need massive processing power. Because of bandwidth restriction, I don't think they're well suited for Web role deployments but if they bump up the bandwidth quota, this would be perfect deployment environment.
+1 for taking time and posting this.

Appreciate the support for the idea.
I've opened an Azure Vote for increase on XS Instances from 5Mbit to 20Mbit, if anyone would also like to see this happen vote for it here.

patching and audits
What do (or should) auditors be looking for in terms of process and documentation for patching of windows servers? What kind of weaknesses or lack of documentation/process would they pick issue with? What is best general practice, what can go wrong with the process? If you have ever had your WSUS procedures or a corporate wide patch management policy audited, what areas did they focus on.
Thanks

Reply:
1. Date of release and installation of patches.
2. Overall compliance of patches.
3. No. of patches release vs installed.
4. Logs of installed and complaint patches.
hope this suffice

Monopoly Microsoft was more customer friendly than today's "friendly" Microsoft
It's funny. Now that MS got some serious competition, what do they do? Raise prices! Across the board: Servers, Office, consumer hardware - Windows Notebooks are now more expensive than they were a year ago (mostly due the mandatory touch hardware because of W8).
I've never seen a company raising prices of all their products in a competitive situation like this. They are behaving under siege WORSE than they did in the monopoly times.
Monopoly (90s) MS was vicious with the competition, but it was a fair deal for the customers (Mac back then crashed as much as Windows 9x did btw, and Netscape 4.0 wasn't exactly a marvel of engineering), while this "nu Microsoft" hipsterama is all about setting the customers themselves up (the W8 forced-metro drama, forced Office subscription and forced MS account-nag everywhere)
Anyway, I sure as hell won't ever rent Office. Libre Office is, unfortunately, still a pile of freetard dung, but I would rather use that than signing up for Microsoft's extortion scheme. They are not luring by increasing value, but by making the traditional Office licensing a hassle - non transferable licensing (with the retail version! If your motherboard gets damaged, you need to pay the full price for Office again), one PC only licensing (Office 2010 and prior allowed one install on the desktop PC, and one install on your laptop. That's gone with Office 2013), massive price hike (Home and Student 2010 was installable on 3 PCs for 125$, you need to pay three times as much with 2013).
They know fully well that no one would sign-up for Office 365 if the old licensing was still in place, especially the license transfer.
The other wanna-be Office replacements have still not attained full compatibility with the MS Office file format, so if you have complex MS Office documents, you still need the software. A software that got a massive price hike. It's funny - now that they ARE harming the customers with a true monopoly situation (instead of other corps) there is no DOJ and no EU to the rescue. I guess that's because there is no bribe money by the competitors involved this time.
I for one won't upgrade beyond Windows 7 and Office 2010 until they are completely out of life support. And I had absolutely no problems with MS and their products until they went into self-destruct mode in 2011.
