Show Inactive users from AD in Sharepoint people and group field
The migrated data is displayed in a Custom List in SP2007, in which 2 fields Preparers & Approvers (columns) are of "People & Group" data type. These two columns displays the "Name (with Presence)" of People & Group type and I am able to click the user names to open the user details for all active AD users.
However, some of the users are disabled in Active Directory and we are unable to populate them in SharePoint. Due to which, they are not visible in the mentioned columns. Is there a way to restrict SharePoint from resolving the inactive / disabled AD users and continue to display them in the Preparers & Approvers column?
Also what is the option to display their Name (like Sachin Dubey) in a seperate column for those who are inactive in AD? Meaning, those who are disabled in AD, their name without hyper link alone should be displayed in another column say Preparer Name or something like that. I tried to use Single Line Text datatype to get the People & Group value, but it didn't work.
Please suggest the possible option to achieve this.

Task sequence to format only C drive
Hello All,
I am creating a task sequence that will only format C drive & install OS.
I followed forum http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2736-how-to-retain-old-hdd-structure/ . Now everything is going fine till wipe out C Drive, when it start to apply image step, the task sequence gets failed & gives error code 0x80070070.
I assume that it's considering system partition (100 MB system partition which is automatically created while we install OS using CD) as C drive & trying to wipe it and apply OS on it. If my guess is correct then off-course the TS will be failed with the space issue.
Please help me how can I clear my doubt & resolve this issue…..
Thanks!

in the apply operating system image step, whaqt is destination set to ? if you know the partition name you can specify it here *logical drive letter stored in a variable*
eg: OSPART
you can create that variable using a script like this
<job id="GetDriveletter">
<script language="VBScript" src="ZTIUtility.vbs"/>
<script language="VBScript">
dim driveSearch
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set colDrives = objFSO.Drives
For Each objDrive in colDrives
driveSearch = objDrive.DriveLetter & ":\\Windows\\explorer.exe"
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2″)
Set colFiles = _
objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From CIM_DataFile Where Name = '" & driveSearch & "'")
If colFiles.Count < 1 Then
Else
oEnvironment.Item("OSPART") = objDrive.DriveLetter & ":"
Next
</script>
</job>

Hi,
I have set the destination to disk 0, partition 1. I am not sure about the partition name.
Is there any way to prompt for the destination partition during the task sequence? like hostname settings in the "Modify Collection"
Thanks!

Hi Nail,
Thanks for your kind help.
I am sorry, but as I am very poor in VB Scripting, it will be a challanging job for me. Still I will try at my best level for this. Please help me how can I add this script in task sequence....
Note :- One thing I forgot to mention that I am deploying OS through PXE boot (WINPE), not with logging into windows.

Beside Kevin's post and good link: Why do you what to install BIDS on the server/cluster, it's a client application and in common you install it only on developer workstations. Against the tool SSMS you can't manage anything with it, you "only" develop and deploy solutions with it and this is done on the developer side.

A question for those recommending against installing BIDS on a cluster: For a 64bit install, only 64bit DTExec.exe is installed. If you have a need to execute your SSIS package in 32-bit mode, there will be no 32-bit version of DTExec.exe. The only solution I am aware of is to install BIDS, as that will install the 32bit version. If there is another way to accomplish having both 32bitand 64bit versions installed, I would like to hear about it.

Some drives are not mapped, using GPO
Hello,
I'm using a Windows SBS 2011 SP1 server, and a Win7-32 client.
I used the GPO, and created the following drive mapping rules :
Name Order Action Path Reconnect
E: 1 Create \\SRVNAME\APS Yes
F: 2 Create \\SRVNAME\Administrateurs Yes
H: 3 Create \\SRVNAME\RedirectedFolders\%username% Yes
P: 4 Create \\SRVNAME\Public Yes
When logging on the W7 client, the drives F: and P: are correctly mapped, the 2 other does not appear...
If I try to map them manualy from the client, it works without problem (therefore, no access or share rights issue).
What could be wrong ???
As an alternative, I tried to add a login script using GPO.
But I cannot add any file in the Logon directory (\mydomain.local\SysVol\mydomain.local\Policies\{532B927B-D983-40B1-91D5-0470DC18C4DE}\User\Scripts\Logon).
There is no way to get a write access to this folder (even as Admin).
How could I solve this ?
And last question : if one of these issues can be solved (all drives correctly mapped), would it also work when connecting to the server using a VPN ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You should be able to edit files in that path when you browse it via the GPMC - so you can copy and paste your script files to it.
Drives E and H are not mapped?
Any errors in the event log when you logon?
Have you tried to make sure they are not mapped - then remapping them at login?
With the VPN are you talking about logging on over a 'dialup' VPN?

Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
I found a solution this W-E, by using another GPO object.
The drive mapping works using the object "Default Domain Policy", but failed with the "Windows SBS Client ...", or a new policy.
What are these many policies used for ?
I will try the paste of a script, using GPMC.
About VPN, I mean a PPTP, or L2TP VPN via Internet.

Reply:
If you're using login gpo's - then they only apply at login.
If a user is already logged in, when they VPN in, they they are not 'logging in' again, so the policy will not apply.

Hyper-V Host and VM cannot communicate but can reach everything else
in each cluster host I have 6 NICs as follows:
Public, Private, Live Migration, VN1, VN2 VN3
each VM is using one the 3 VNs (VN1, VN2, VN3)
now all Vswitches are configured as external and (allow management OS to.... ) is enables.
any VM cannot reach its current host or other VMs using another Vswitch
it can reach any other VM on the same host as long as using the same Vswitch or even hosted on other Hosts.
any host can reach anything but cannot reach the VMs hosted on it.
I am running out of ideas and could not reolve it

Dear Vincen,
we already have a dedicated NIC for each public communication diiferent than the ones used to create the VNs.
but we we tested yesterday is when we use this public NIC to create VN and associate some of the VMs to use this VN then they could reach the host, other hosts and other VMS on other hosts but not the VMs on the same host using different VN.
we are discussing this with the hardware vendor and we do suspect network routing issues in the NICs used for the VNs but they say HW configuration for all NICs is identical.
please advise what to do in order to solve this issue.

SE_SYSTEMTIME_NAME privilege, admin under UAC
I have used SecPol.msc to give all users the right to change the system time. Indeed, an ordinary user can now change the system time (e.g., with CMD's TIME command) with no hassle. But an administrator running under UAC cannot. He sees:
v:\> time The current time is: 22:12:20.90 Enter the new time: 22:12:21 A required privilege is not held by the client.
In fact an administrator running under UAC cannot obtain the SE_SYSTEMTIME_NAME privilege (AdjustTokenPrivileges()) which ordinary users now have by default. How can I rectify this and allow an administrator running under UAC to change the system time without hassle? Thanks.

Hi,
Please right click Command Prompt, run it as administrator and see how it works.
This is because that an administrator account performs as a standard user account if User Account Control is turned on.

Of course it works run elevated. But a "standard user" can change the system time (because I used SecPol to give everyone the privilege). And a non-evevated admin CAN NOT change the system time. So a non-elevated admin seems to be somewhat less than an "ordinary user" in this respect ... and that local security policy is not consulted when an admin gets a limited security token. I would like an admin under UAC to be able to change the system time as easily as an ordinary user can (that is without any hassle).

Hi,
Please refer to User Account Control Overview for IT Professionals.
And note, "When an administrator logs on, two separate access tokens are created for the user: a standard user access token and an administrator access token. The standard user access token contains the same user-specific information as the administrator access token, but the administrative Windows privileges and SIDs are removed. The standard user access token can start standard user applications but cannot start applications that perform administrative tasks.".
It means that although when an administrator account perform as a standard user account, it not a member of Users Group.
Hope this can explain for you.

I have come to understand that. Apparently UAC will simply not consult Local Security Policy (where "Everyone" has been given permission to change the system time).
But is there not a way to adjust the limited token which members of the administrative group get ... or (equivalently) to adjust which privileges are stripped from the adminisrtator token? I would find it very hard to believe that the answer is simply "no".
------------------------------------
Reply:
Hi,
I'm afraid there is no workaround to get over it.
When you use the account under Administrator group, if you don't use "Run as admin" mode, CMD will be running under Standard User Token.
Please note, access token is added when a user logs on. Normal users are granted the privilege at the time they log on, so does the Administrator. (this privillege is granted to the admin token, not the standard user token) Due to UAC, Admin privileges are cut off, you run CMD using Stardard User Token.
the following picture will help you understand:
Being an end user myself, I do understand UAC is somewhat annoying, but convenience and security is contradictory. UAC does help help mitigate the impact of malicious programs. So, if you are 100% certain your system is secure, you could turn UAC off. For normal users, we'd better enable it.

I would like to confirm the following questions:
1. Will the issue occur if you create a DOC file locally on the server?
2. Do all users have the same issue?
3. How did users save files to the folder on server, open the shared folder and create files directly, or copy files from local to server?
4. After file is creating on server, though it shows as 0KB, whether the creator (owner) could still access it or it is actually broken with no one could access it?

Hyper V cluster
Hi All,
We got into some weired issue yesterday in our Hyper V cluster.
We have 12 HOST cluster (HOST1 ,HOST2,....HOST12) and 3 CSV's (volume1,volume2,volume3) carrying all the virtual machine files. The ownership of the CSV was on HOST 1 and due to some hardware issue the HOST 1 failed.Suddenly the CSV's started migrating to other hosts (as expected) , but what happened is that when the CSV moved , the registry entry not replicated properly or it got replicated incorrectly to the other host where the CSV got migrated. Which made the CSV Volume 1 as Volume 2 and Volume 2 as volume 3 and volume 3 as volume 1. So when the VM's tried to start after this migration it was not able to find the correct VM files which inturn caused all the VM's to fail. Then we logged a case with MS and renamed it back the volumes in registry and fixed the issue. Still we are not clear why this happened...
Have anyone tried / happened this scenario (failing over the CSV's together )... I think there is some bug in the CSV movement and which MS needs to fix...

Hi All,
I have used http://(site)/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=Display&List={GUID}&XMLDATA=TRUE to generate xml data for custom list and I use jquery to meet my business requirements. I have done this in 2007 environment.
When I tried the same in SP 2010 environment, the URL give to option in a popup window, 'Save' and 'Cancel'. If I save into my local machine I am able to open in IE.
Why it is saving in local machine? I need to have the xml data in IE itself when I trigger the URL.
The SP2010 environment is basically migrated from SP2007 2 months back. If you have any concern please let me know.
Thanks,

DFS namespaces not showing the referals

Windows Server 2003 Hotfix KB2544893-v2 was installed.
Windows Server 2003 Hotfix KB929123 was installed.

Windows Server 2003 Hotfix KB2567053 was installed.
Windows Server 2003 Hotfix KB2416451 was installed.
Windows Server 2003 Hotfix KB932168 was installed.
After the fixes installation the servers restarted.
From this point the users can’t see and reach they folders over the DFS namespace. The namespace was available but not contained any of the shares.
The background shares what are presented by the DFS namespaces worked well without any issue from the server.
After the Windows Server 2003 KB2564958 was removed and the server rebooted the services restored well.
Is that possible this above mentioned and removed KB could cause this issue

Hi Csaba,
Looking at that KB, I can't imagine how that would have any impact on your issue, but you never know I guess.
Based on your discription though, I can't help but wonder if the problem wasn't caused by the original restart itself. Sometime during a restart, mainly due to timing issues with dependant services, IPsec will go into block mode. The only way to clear it is a restart. You would usually see an IPsec event in the system event log right around the time of the restart indicating this, if true.
Otherwise, perhaps try installing the update again and see if the same issue occurs, and if it does, contact Microsoft. They offer free support for issues with hotfixes I believe.

This does not seem to be an issue because of the KB2564958. There is something else causing the issue, can you please let me know what exactly happens when the user tries to traverse the namespace. Is there any error displayed or simply the namespace is shown as empty. Try to have one normal folder (not link) also under the root and see if that is displayed.
Did you re-install and verify that the above KB is causing this !!

The namespaces was almost empty. Just the locally stored files was available in it, but nothing external
No error message. At the server boot up the DFS initialised itself succesfully.
The Eventlog is clear.
We have more than one namespace and all produced the same simptoms.
On another site the DFS namespaces worked well.
The MS working on the case.
If the reason will be unknown I will try to reinstall the KB again. :-(
The KB manipulating with ports (139;445)...

Two questions:
1) Does the NB have an OEM COA sticker with a windows product key on it?
2) Did the reseller provide you with a windows DVD with a version that matches the OEM Sticker?
If yes, then you have a licensed version of windows that you can run on the NB.
If not, you may have got a cheeper version, that didn't include a Windows OS.
While not common, you can still get hardware from the manufactures without an Operating System, many corporate do this as they have enterprise licensing and don't need OEM keys/software preinstalled.
As for the fingerprint reader, that's usually an add-on that is specified when purchased from the manufacturer. When you ordered this NB from a reseller did you have a component list of what was installed either when ordering or on your receipt?
It sounds like the reseller didn't listen to what you wanted, and sold you something similar, so it may non have been illegal with what they did, just a bit immoral.

DNS stops resolving
I've read a few threads on here but found nothing to help.
I setup forwarders with the NS of ns1.no-ip.com / ns2.no-ip.com and SOA as mydomain.com. This worked great, if a little slow to resvole but now nothing is resolving, neither my domain or IP connect to my web server.
Just to note I installed WAMP on my XP machine to test the WAN IP and it resolved first time.

=====================================
.
As a test, please remove those two Forwarders, and use 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3.
Please post your results and let us know if that resolves the problem.

Generating SVG from WKT
I recently generated SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) from the WKT (Well Known Text) representation of MULTIPOLYGONs. This was done in order to view some selected zip code areas and allow for further editing in vector based graphics programs. Seeing as it was not all that difficult to achieve I thought it may be of interest to others as well. Below is an example of how it was done for the zip code areas, but I expect that not much modification would have to be made in order for it to work with other types of areas as well. It should provide a good starting point for anyone who needs to produce SVG from WKT using SQL.
---------------------------------------- Generate SVG ------------------------------------ declare @xOffset varchar(42), @yOffset varchar(42); select @xOffset = CAST(-AVG(ZipCodeArea.STCentroid().STX) as DECIMAL(19,10)), @yOffset = CAST(-AVG(ZipCodeArea.STCentroid().STY) as DECIMAL(19,10)) from MyZipCodeAreaTable where left(ZipCode, 2) in ('41', '42', '43', '44'); declare @header varchar(max) = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' + '<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">' + '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">' + '<g id="viewport" transform="translate(' + @xOffset + ', ' + @yOffset + ')">' + '<g stroke="black" fill-rule="evenodd">'; declare @middler varchar(max) = '</g>' + '<g font-family="sans-serif" fill="black" text-anchor="middle" text-align="center" vertical-align="middle">'; declare @footer varchar(max) = '</g>' + '</g>' + '</svg>'; declare @areas xml = ( select ZipCode as [@id], case ZipCode % 9 when 0 then '#99CC33' when 1 then '#66CC33' when 2 then '#339900' when 3 then '#336600' when 4 then '#FF6600' when 5 then '#CC9900' when 6 then '#FFCC33' when 7 then '#FF9933' when 8 then '#FFCC66' end as [@fill], REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(ZipCodeArea.STAsText(), 'MULTIPOLYGON (((', 'M'), ')), ((', ' Z M'), '), (', ' Z M'), ', ', ' L'), ')))', ' Z') as [@d] from MyZipCodeAreaTable where left(ZipCode, 2) in ('41', '42', '43', '44') for xml path ('path') ); declare @labels xml = ( select cast(ZipCodeArea.STCentroid().STX as decimal(28,12)) as [@x], cast(ZipCodeArea.STCentroid().STY as decimal(28,12)) as [@y], cast(cast(case when sqrt(ZipCodeArea.STArea())/5 < 10 then 10 else sqrt(ZipCodeArea.STArea())/5 end as int) as varchar(42)) + 'pt' as [@font-size], cast(ZipCode as char(5)) from MyZipCodeAreaTable where left(ZipCode, 2) in ('41', '42', '43', '44') for xml path ('text') ); select @header + cast(@areas as varchar(max)) + @middler + cast(@labels as varchar(max)) + @footer;

No New “Building Windows 8” Blog Posts
Interesting. I wonder why there have not been any new posts (two weeks from today) on the Building Windows 8 blog. Although there may not be much to report, they could at least address some common issues such as Metro, the new start menu, the reason for the lack of the old start menu, etc. Interesting.
Of course now that I post this, there will probably be a new post detailing some issue very little people care about in the next day or so.

Hi,
But all those things have been covered, they are preparing the next build, so I don't think they write much more about CP, maybe about the next release.

Hi Darien
The Building Windows 8 Blog is not used for support issues.
The main focus is about the what, why, and how, of the design for the OS. There are currently 59 articles archived there.

Thanks Ronnie; I know that. I have read each and every blog post since inception and am familiar with its purpose along with the purpose of the forums. I guess what I was really alluding to was not well received.

I keep going there to check on when the next version is going to be released.
Build/paradigm/RC, whatever.
And if it will have major changes to the User-Interface, or will it just cover minor bugfixes deep down in the code.
IS the user-interface set in stone?
"SO and so said today that the next release candidate will be on such and such date. It will include Yada, and support for Blah. And we've taken suggestions from a few special people who rate, and implemented a few key suggestions". Something along those lines.
(Can we go ahead and make a decision on buying an older OS?)

Although I agree the blog is PR attempt to make it sound as if MSFT really cares and listens to users, I care because there is some good insightful information there when they do post. It also, at times, communicates some of the changes that are made based on feedback via forums, blog comments, feedback tool, etc.
I care because I would like to know if MSFT cares. Being a long-time MSFT evangelist, I am finding myself having a very difficult time "defending" Windows 8 from my Apple and Linux coworkers who see the Metro interface as a joke (of which I agree to a certain extent).
It would be nice to see a post on how the Metro Start screen is maturing. Knowing that there is an upcoming, dramatic change in the future Release Candidate, could alleviate some of the vitriol it has spawned.

sorry, MSFT doesn't care. During Win7 Betatest nearly 95% of reports on connect were closed as "by design", "won't fix" or "can't repro" and without any response or questions about the issue.
"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code"
And with that my friend, you are right. I did notice that most reported "issues" were closed with the reasons you stated.
Just read the latest post regarding the release editions. SHM.

Email from specific external Sender shows From field as a random internal user
I have E2K7 SP3 + RU6 environment. Emails coming from one specific sender to internal recipients show the Sender address as a random internal user, the return path still remains the original external sender.
This has so far shown up only for this specific external sender. We have also noticed that each time one specific internal recipient was on the mail but not sure if that is related.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
