SOLUTION: VAMT (DCOM RPC WMI) access denied (0x80070005) to Windows Server 2008 in Workgroup using Local Administrator Account - Turn off RestrictRemoteClients and LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
"Failed to update the computer information with error 0x80070005"
If you're reading this you may already have tried adding various permissions in dcomcnfg, WMImgmt.msc, gpedit.msc and regedit. And you're probably already testing with wbemtest and getting access denied there as well. You have also most likely tried disabling UAC and found that it did not help.
Here's your solution:
Use regedit to add this key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy=1
This will stop windows downgrading your local Administrator account rights to a standard user (which causes Access denied).
And delete this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Rpc\RestrictRemoteClients
This key is causing you to encounter Access Denied when remotely accessing via RPC.
It can also have lots of other unwanted effects, see here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/04/08/restrictions-for-unauthenticated-rpc-clients-the-group-policy-that-punches-your-domain-in-the-face.aspx
After making these changes (second one may require a reboot) you should now be able to access server with VAMT and other tools using local Administrator credentials.

Feizex.

I have searched all over and I hope you can help me. First and most important I am new to this type of programming, I am an old VB6 guy that has been away for 4 years and needless to say it has all changed. I am not a beginner to programming but new to .net and so on. I work with SQL for about 10 years and it is different now in some ways.
A friend of mine told me about all the free stuff, VB Express 2008, SQL 2005 Express and so on and I got hooked on programming again. Now am just doing shareware stuff and having fun.
Anyway, here is my problem. I created an app using VB 2008. I used a DB I had in sql 2005 express. Attached the DB to my project (then copied it to the project so it would be include in the publish) and everything is fine. Published the app using the tool included in VB. Burned a CD using Nero and installed it on my Dev machine, which is XP-Pro(SP2) and has SQL Express 2005. Ran like a dream, no problems at all. Then I took the CD and did the install on my Vista laptop. THat is where the problem occured. Got the error 26 can not connect to the server/istance because it doesn't allow remote connections. This problem has been memtioned many times but not in the context I am talking about. I set the surface Area Config for local and remote with TCPIP only in SQL 2005 on the Dev machine and set the UDF 1434 to open(execption) in the fire wall on the vista laptop(hope that is the right one, I can't find the blog I read it on but I had it open when I made the changes I followed it exactly). Can you tell me what else I need to do?
BTW I have not tried this on any other machines execpt the two memtioned above, if I do will I have problems with others also if they do not have SQL on the machine? I think that I read in one of the help topics that the build includes a compact SQL server in the install when I publish. Hope you can help me here as I have posted on the VB express forum and all I got was some smart A$$ telling there are programs out there to help but didn't tell me where or anything else but to not waste nary a something or a byte. Real wiseguy. Any help would be greatly appricated.
TIA,
Coz

Hi Nan Tu
I hope you can help me with my problem, because it's driving me crazy
I have upgraded my sql server 2000 Enterprise Edition to the 2005 Enterprise Edition.
In 2000 I had my cubes in analisis services but when I upgraded, I cannot access any more my cubes.
If I use the Microsoft Visual Studio, I can process and deploy my cube. But when I use Excell 2007 and try to access the analysis services, he says he has no access (all locally done from the server who is running Windows server 2003)
So, from the browser in Microsoft Visual Studio, I can see the data
But when I try to deploy the cube throw the menu Microsoft SQL server --- Analysis Services --- Deployment Wizard, I have the following error with exactly the same cube:
Error de OLE DB: Error de OLE DB u ODBC: Invalid authorization specification; 28000. Errores del motor relacional de alto nivel. No se pudo establecer una conexión al origen de datos con DataSourceID 'BD SBOBI', Nombre 'BD SBOBI'. Errores del motor...
I've been checking everywhere and I cannot understand why he has no access to that database while I can access it from Sql Server Intelligent Business Studio and Sql Server Management Studio
Thanks for any help you can give me

Some time this give following error message:
"A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)"
This is happened some time only. My application scenario is as follow:
I have window forms based application. I am using a two connections (in shared scope) and Two threads. First thread is the main application thread and other thread which is started after application start. Second thread is also running continuously. To avoid the one connection sharing, i have created another shared connection (i.e. second connection with same connection string).
Our connection class structure looks like this.
Public
Class MyConnectionPrivate Shared ObjMyConnection As SqlConnection
Private Shared ObjConn As MyConnection
Private Shared ObjCommand As SqlCommand
Public Shared Function GetInstance() As MyConnection
If ObjMyConnection Is Nothing Then
ObjMyConnection = New MyConnection
End If
Return ObjConn
End Function
End
Get instance function is called if i want to perform any db operations.
both thread uses different class (but have the same type and scoped member)
I hope this is helpful to find the problem root.

Hi Experts,
Today I faced an strange problem with SQLSERVER 2005 and SQLSERVER 2008 R2 on same machine. Actually, I was trying to interconnect my other SQLSERVER's having identical structure and name on the other room within same network. So, I have done all procedure described in the beginning of this article. However, I can't figure out the solution to resolve this issue.
Basically, If I tried to manipulate any objects from SQLSERVER GUI after connecting to the SQLSERVER database with authenticate username and password, I am getting the following error
" A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233) "
Based on my previous experience, its seems like the ports are not listening each other and remote server is disabled but, I check that and those are enabled and seems fine in configuration side.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated to resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Prks

SharePoint 2010 Variations Propagating changes on pages even though Variation settings are set not to do so
Dear All,
Overview: Kindly note that i am working on an Internet site that is built on top of SharePoint Server 2010.The site is bilingual: English and Arabic; for that SharePoint Variations are used with the English site as source, in order to reflect any created items from the English side to the Arabic side.
Till now, site and page creation are working just fine, but the issue is with republishing an existing page.
Details: Suppose that i have a page called "About Us" that is created at the English side with an English content, when the Variations job kicks, the page is created at the Arabic side and i go and translate the content to Arabic. However, in any case when i update the content at the English side and republish, the changes are reflected to the Arabic side and the Arabic content is overwritten with the new English content causing me to re-translate the content. In other words, i don't need the variations to reflect the English content on the Arabic site once a certain page is repuplished
In Addition, the variation settings from the Root Sit Settings are as follows:
Kindly advise for a solution
Best Regards.

Anyone happen to get the Mellanox InfiniHost III Infiniband card working?
Hi,
I've had the card working under Win2k8RC2 but the Mellanox installer crashes when I try to install the drivers. The OFED driver from openfrabrics.org doesn't support Win2k12.
I'm trying to connect to machines via a back-to-back cable to handle live migrations and data replication.
Anyone else have better luck?

For Linux there's an software subnet manager but how do you initialize cards on Windows without it and w/o a hardware IB switch?
-nismo
------------------------------------
Reply:
The Openfabrics.org OFED driver has OpenSM for managing the subnet.
So I found out what the problem is, the card that I had a Infinihost III card isn't supported by Mellanox for Windows 2012. I think, that instead of spitting out an error when it couldn't detect a compatible card, it just crashed. Now why the driver doesn't load properly under Win2k8rc2 is another issue all together. So I'll be replacing this card, which unfortunately is going to bump the cost of my build.
From what I gather the only cards that are going to be supported are the Connectx-2 & 3 cards but I'm assuming some of the more contemporary features like "Data Center Bridging", might only be available on their newest cards (so different models of the ConnectX-2&3's might not have this), I'm in the process of researching this now.
I wish Mellanox had done a better job of showing the differences between their products. I spent a good deal researching this card and I was under the impression that it would do everything I needed it to do with bandwidth to spare. They didn't mention anywhere that this card was EOL.

Yes, OpenSM is a software I've been talking about. But they seems to have a Linux-only implementation. How do you support to config subnets on Windows? Assuming cards are supported.
It's a pity... Love Mellanox for their products. But they seems to be a bit of a technology oriented company :)
Good luck with your IB project!

Overall Performance seems poor, lots of delays, waits, and just sitting. - Why?
I've seen this on a few systems not, I wrote it off to they age and speed but this system I'm on now should be laggy , delayed or hesitant ever muchless while doing simple everyday tasks.
Other than a under sized video card this system should meet every requirement and was designed my Microsoft and Dell to record HD 1080P video on 2-4 TV CARDS in real-time with Windows Media Center yet with W8 I can't hardly play a video without issues. Playing Civ5 is so laggy and delayed. I played on the same system with W7 3 weeks ago before the reinstall and it was great. Watching Hulu/Netflix while playing Civ5 dual screen wasn't a problem now the video is so choppy and skips it's not worth it. I found the Search indexer was running at 20-40+% CPU all the time so killing that helped, but I'd get to the point where typing here was too hard for my system to do and would lag out text... Fresh install... I have 4 other systems from tablets, laptops and workstations that feel the same, my work PC has 16GB ram and also feels slow and not very reactive. Touch and all of this is nice but if it's not perfectly reactive no one will use it!!!

ok so I was looking around with Resource Monitor while I'm installing the Performance tools and under Disk I have (I'm not sure) 1000's+ of explorer.exe images running accessing all of my files (HomeGroup/Media/Zune Share)...
One of the things I do is create Microsoft Silverlight Pivot collections.. the last one had 8400 images which after pivot processing comes in at 457,338 Files, 81,448 Folders for one draft of one project.
So I think I killed the Search Indexer and HomeGroup Share. I have stripped drives for performance but they aren't keeping up. Right now I'm running at 3049 Hard Memory Faults/sec and my drives are at 100% Active time none-stop. I will have to exclude those folders but Libraries don't allow excluding subfolders.

Trouble with that is that a complete lack of style isn't a style in itself. Now no doubt some executive will be paid handsomely to come up with some other totally new, modern, hip name like "The Matrix UI".

I have tried google's solution bt still i am getting error so need help its urgent .plz do the needful

Hi,
I would recommend you to use Windows Deployment Server Services (WDS) instead of RIS. And preferably with MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit). There are tons of great guides on how to do this on the network. Let me know if you need any pointers.

Hi,
At first, I would like to say that Windows Deployment Services is the updated and redesigned version of Remote Installation Service (RIS).
Towards the Windows Server 2003 SP2, there are three server modes towards the OS installation via network:
1. Legacy Mode; The legacy mode is equivalent RIS;
2. Mixed Mode; In this mode, you could deploy RISETPUP and RIPREP image types using OSChooser, and you can deploy Windows Image (.wim) files using the WDS management tools;
3. Native Mode; With Native Mode, you use WDS to deploy only .wim images;
For detailed procedures and information about the WDS on Windows Server 2003, there is a link for your reference:

At first, I would like to say that Windows Deployment Services is the updated and redesigned version of Remote Installation Service (RIS).
Towards the Windows Server 2003 SP2, there are three server modes towards the OS installation via network:
1. Legacy Mode; The legacy mode is equivalent RIS;
2. Mixed Mode; In this mode, you could deploy RISETPUP and RIPREP image types using OSChooser, and you can deploy Windows Image (.wim) files using the WDS management tools;
3. Native Mode; With Native Mode, you use WDS to deploy only .wim images;For detailed procedures and information about the WDS on Windows Server 2003, there is a link for your reference:

SQL Server 2008 R2 Multiple instance cluster on Windows 2003
We have a Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition with a default SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster instance (ACSQLCLUSTER). Now they want to add another instance to the cluster. Is it possible on a Windows 2003 server ?. If so what are the steps ? What do I need before the istallation ?
Thank you

Hello Carlos,
Q: Is adding another installation to the cluster possible?
It's possible as long as the resources are presented to the cluster so it can be installed.
Q: If so, what are the steps?
The same steps that were used to install the first instance. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179530(v=sql.105).aspx
Q: What do I need before the installation?
You'll need new IP addresses, name, disks, etc.

Hi there--
If you have a lookup table defined with value & description in PWA, when you associate the lookup table with custom fields & view the Project information in MS project, It shows you the lookup value & description.
Does that help?

Hi Vassily,
what type of enterprise custom field are you talking about? Project, Task or Resource? As far as I understand your post, you refer to a custom field on task level. And you want to group your tasks by this custom field and show the description of the custom field in the grouping row. Is that correct?
If yes, I dont think it's possible, sorry.

As mentioned above, I dont think it is possible. You may consider creating an additional formula custom field on task level, e.g. "Field Description". Within this you determine the description via formula (e.g. Iff( [Field] = "A"; "Description for Item A; Iff( [Field] = "B"; ...)
Then you can group your tasks by this new column and the description appears in the grouping rows.
Please be aware that (too many) custom fields on task level and esp. formula fields may have an impact on the performance of your project server.

This s not possible using the out of the box features as far as I'm aware. Since the lookup value is an enterprise field you could go to the extent of creating a custom report which joins the custom field back to the corresponding MSPLT_CustomFieldName... table to extract and group on the Description (MemberDescription).
Not sure but you may be able to create some VB code to extract the desription and store it in another custom field in the schedule

Move-CSLegacyUser Confirm
Hello All,
I have written a short PS script which reads a list of users from a CSV file and then migrates them from an OCS environment to Lync. However, when the script runs, I get asked to confirm each move in turn. How can I switch off the confirmation that is required for each user move?
There is a parameter -confirm but looking at the help file, this is to swich a confirmation on. It seems to me that the confirmation is on by default. Has anyone else come accross this? Anyone know a way around it?
Cheers,
Bri
Reply:
OK, it seems that this is just standard Powershell.
By default, PowerShell automatically applies the Confirm switch to cmdlets that have the following verbs:
- Clear
- Disable
- Dismount
- Move
- Remove
- Stop
- Suspend
- Uninstall
When a cmdlet runs that has any of these verbs, the Shell automatically stops the command and waits for your acknowledgement before it continues to process.
In order to override the confirm switch, I added -confirm:$False to my script. I don't get asked to confirm the action any more.

Routing slip feature in Office 2007
Hi,
i am not able to find a definitive answer to the question "is the routing slip feature available in Office 2007"? Even the general Microsoft support person does not know the answer. Can i get an engineer give me the answer?
Thank you,
HHH999
Reply:
The reason that even Microsoft personnel can't find the information is that Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, has removed almost all documentation for Office 2007 from its website.
But yes, the routing slip feature has been deprecated, i.e. it is not available any more in Office 2007 and later.

The attribute will show up in the group within the FIM Portal but is greyed out and I am not able to select it to set True/False.
Any idea what is requred to get this attribute to be functional on a group OR is there a different way to create a group in Exchange2010 from FIM2010 and set it so it is hidden from the GAL.

I dont have the Sharepoint 2010 workflow templates
Hi,
i have been browsing, googling and bing-ing trying to find out how to create a approval workflow in sharepoint 2010. Every where i have looked i have found that there are templates ie. Approval workflow and users have just modified these to suit there needs BUT i dont have these. my thoughts as to why i dont have this is because we running the sharepoint that comes with SBS 2011? is that the reason or is there something i am missing.

Hi
We have a similar problem. Using Office 365 (not sure which version) and am trying to find/use the workflow templates. I have located a list of workflows under Site Collection Administration / Workflows. There are 11 listed workflows, but only Three State is shown as Active. I also see...
- Approval
- Collect Feedback
- Collect Signatures
- Disposition Approval
- External User Invitation Auto-Approval Workflow Template (V1.0.0.0)
- Group Approval
- Sample Proposal
- Schedule Web Analytics Alerts
- Schedule Web Analytics Reports
- Translation Management
The 10 above are all listed as Inactive, and all 11 show zero Associations and zero In Progress. I didn't set up Sharepoint, nor am I familiar with it. But, I don't see a single link on this page that takes me anywhere I can use to activate any of the other templates. I also don't see anywhere I can go use the Three State workflow that shows as Active.
I would greatly appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

Hi Greg,
my issue was that i didnt have the full version of Sharepoint - luckily we Microsoft Action Pack. to me it sounds like all you need to do is activate the different templates so that they can be used in Sharepoint - have a look in the sharepoint administration console under workflows - you should be able to activate them there
Good Luck

Here's how you activate all workflow templates:
On any top level site, go to Site Actions / Site Settings / Site Collection Features and check for Workflows and see if its activated or not, if not Active, activate it and check other workflows template listed there and activate them. After that you can continue creating workflows and you'll see all templates.

SSAS Roles - User part of multiple roles - Performance implication
Hi Guys,
Want to gather your thoughts on performance implication on user access to Cube in case of the user belonging to multiple roles.
Scenario:
Products - A,B,C,D
Countries - X,Y,Z
Legal Branch - M,N,O,P,Q
Case 1: For defining access via various combinations of these, there could be 4*3*5 combinations of access. So one could create 60 roles and then add users to these roles. This would mean 60 roles (meta data overhead, think about real time scanario where this could be 1000)
Case 2: If we create one role for each of the access restriction, example 1 role with Product A secured, 1 role with Product B..... 1 role with Country X and so on.. So a total of 4 + 3 + 5= 12 roles (much lesser metadata). In this case, if a user wants access to Product B,C, Country Y,Z, Legal Branch O,P,Q, he would be added to these 7 roles. When he accesses the Cube, he would get the union of all these roles, which is what is expected.
From manageability perspective, Case 2 looks reasonable, but what are the pros and cons of this approach compared to Case 1?
In case of union of multiple roles, how does SSAS handle the Cube access? Will it first do a union of all roles and determine what is the part of Cube that needs to be queries and access only that part of Cube at one go? In this case, there is SSAS overload of first determining the subcube access and then firing the query. Or will it first access the Cube with 3 different access set of 3 roles and fetches the data and then do a union and provide the resultset?
In one of the projects that I was involved in, the security architecture was done by Avanade (which is a partner company of Microsoft) and invidual roles were created for each user. So basically, they went with Case 1 - very high metadata. There must be some reason behind this approach, which I want to know and weigh it against Case 2 approach.
Look forward to getting some thoughts out of your own experience in your projects.

Hi Barnala,
I see your question hasn't had replies...I think it's very interesting! But also complicated, maybe that's why not much discussion.
Here's what I'd do in your position.... I'd actually prepare a test case of both, and use SQL Profiler to capture the Query Subcube Verbose events from test queries in each scenario, and compare them.
When you examine these profiler events you start to see that the net effect of roles is to switch on & off attributes in the query subcube verbose events. It's possible (in theory) that two approaches that use role based security on dimension members would actually create the same query workload for the engine....I'm not saying it's guaranteed by any means, but I think it's quite likely.
So if you did a limited experiment using profiler you may gain better understanding of whether the added complexity in one approach translates to better performance characteristics of the queries or not.
Not an answer, but just some thoughts on it...

Hi,
Well , i think both case 1 and case 2 involves a maintainance overhead.
I would suggest you can go for a third approach, It wolud be simple and easy to maintain. create 3 tables in the underlying database, one with an EmpId /Userid and Product mapping , the second with EmpID and Countires, third with EmpId and Legal Branch. You import these factless fact tables into DSV, join the EmpId of the 3 facts with the EmpId of the Employee table, and the remaining Id's to their respective tables(CustomerId-->CustomeId). Create 3 MeasureGroups out of these 3 Factless Facts, and use them in the dimension data of the dimensions, using an MDX. You have to create 3 roles for controlling each of your dimension.
I have attached a sample copy of the MDX code you can use below. You can use this in the Product Id attributes ,dynamic sceurity tab.
nonempty
(
[Product].[ProductId].[ProductId].members,
(
strtoset("[Employees].[User Id].[" + UserName() + "]"),
[Measures].[Fact BIM Role SBU Mapping Count] -- Measure Group Name here
)
)
Again as you have said , the permission will be an union all. The overhead overhere will be you need to add the userid's manually in the membership tab of the roles. You can write an assemply to automate this process as well ( Which we were trying to do. Anyone can plz share if you have already developed the code for this :) ).
Let me know if you are having any issues implementing this. Please let me know if there is any better way to implement this.
Thanks,
Srihari Thakkelapati

Hi Rob,
Haven't had time to test this. Thanks for your inputs. I will definitely give it a try to better understand the queries being run on the engine. I will get back to you on this thread soon.

Hi Srihari,
Thanks a lot for an alternate approach. Its very interesting.
However, in our case, we have AD groups (and not users) assigned to roles. So using the same approach, we can probably have AD group mapping to members in table translated to Cubes and have a web service assembly which does a check dynamically as to what are the AD groups that the user belongs to and use that in the MDX expression.
I will keep this approach on-hold for now, but this is interesting indeed.
Thanks again!

Nice to see some new activity in the community! Keep up the good work!
I have one question of which I couldn't find the answer on the Codeplex page.
Microsoft also provides a tool to automate the WCF publishing wizard: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21973
Although it is targeted at BizTalk 2006 R2, with a small adjustment you can use it for BizTalk 2010 as well.
Maybe you can explain a bit more about the capabilities and usage of your tool?

I guess the difference is a matter of choice. See, I had no idea I could download the 2006 R2 version of the wizard separately, nor was it clear on their documentation page that you could use it with 2010; Bing didn't pull up Mikael's blog post when I was looking for an answer either. So instead of downloading a second copy of the wizard and tweaking its configuration file, now you can simply download the console app.
As far as capabilities go, it's capable of one thing only - taking the WcfServiceDescription.xml file and publishing with it, thereby performing the one thing the new version of the WCF Publishing Wizard fails to do. If you decompile the wizard assembly, you'll see that the only parameters the wizard takes are whether or not to install the wizard to the Visual Studio menu. Despite the fact that it creates the XML file, it never re-uses it. This becomes painful very quickly when your project centers around that WCF front-end.
One thing I neglected to mention in the documentation - the schema itself is now included in the source code, so if you're feeling froggy you can simply build your XML file without the wizard's help whatsoever.
Having this console app is great, because now my build process can refresh my front end with abandon and make sure all of my schema changes are refreshed there. I think the next thing I'll do is start digging around CodePlex for BizTalk utility projects and submitting patches to have this included - it's too useful to go idle. (While I'm at it, I should probably rebuild ShoBiz, which is badly out of date).
Enjoy!
