Does anyone know what a 'plugin000.dmp' file is and why it gets created?

My upgrade to Windows 8 Pro is failing and rolling back. When it fails a file named 'plugin000.dmp' gets created on the System drive? Does anyone know how I can use this file to determine why the upgrade is failing?

Thanks,

I'd like to see your rollback log if possible. My hypothesis (as google shows nada) is that some plugin used by one of your applications is not Windows 8 compatible. Likely it will be listed near the end of your rollback log. Figure out which application it belongs to, uninstall that application and try again.

If you want to look into the .dmp file, here is some info on how to do that. It's not as easy as looking in the rollback log unfortunately. Good luck.

Feature request: storing arrays in cells for more efficient data storage

I made this custom function that required a variable number of (similar) arguments -- so I had it use an array as an argument. This itself was no problem, using the B1 formula shown below.

B1: =myFunction({"a","b"})

However, I wanted to pull the array data from elsewhere so I could use the same formula throughout -- preferably from a single cell, so as to prevent having to use an indefinite amount of cells/columns to store the potential number of arguments. Hence I tried the following:

A1: ={"a","b"}
B2: =myFunction(A1)

Formula A1 merely displayed a as the result, leading me to believe it worked, but then formula B2 resulted in a #VALUE error -- guess it wasn't possible to store arrays in cells after all.

That makes me wonder though -- why not? In terms of storage efficiency there is obviously an advantage in this, as it could reduce a data set variable in length to a single cell, basically saving the user a row/column for each such array (or a sheet in case of two-dimensional arrays). (Note that this advantage would also apply when using array formulas instead of custom functions demanding arrays.)

I realize there are workarounds in the form of storing arrays as delimited strings (to be reconverted before reuse), but the need to resort to this just seems kind of inelegant. As such, I'm wondering whether or not there would be any plans to allow for this sort of functionality in the future: storing an array in a cell as shown above, and perhaps allowing one to specify entries thereof similarly as for regular arrays, e.g. A1(1). I'm not sure about potential complications this might bring along, but the use seems apparent to me.

Reply:

You are really talking about manipulating the elements of array formulas. Already available, if you know how to use them. See http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/ArrayFormulas.aspx as one example of how to use them.

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

Some tools for creating Excel Addin functions have built-in facilities for handles to arrays where the handle can be stored in a cell and used as a function argument. See XLLPlus for one example.

You could in theory code this kind of thing yourself in VBA, storing the array(s) in something global that is indexed by the handle. Persisting the global array data and handles in a saved workbook using VBA (defined names for small amounts of data or custom XML parts for larger data) is also possible.

But doing all this using VBA in a foolproof and efficient way is not trivial.

Always make sure you to configure Alternate Access Mappings for each and every single URL you use to access SharePoint. This is specially important when you are working with InfoPath. In this case, add an AAM for either the external hostname or IP and see if it resolves your issue.

Windows Update keeps installing the same updates over & over again!! KB2656351+KB2600217

Hello, sorry but im a complete idiot when it comes to computers, but normally I get there in the end!

I have 2 main problems:-

1. My computer keeps loading updates KB2656351 & KB2600217 over and over again

2. My computer when typing is almost impossible to use at times as the letters and words just end up going everywhere randomly!! The cursor no matter where I put it just send the letters anywhere but the correct place. I had to stop using IE9 because it. I deleted AVG software as I was told that was the cause, but it made no difference.

Alstypingo, when typing, the letters go everywhere and anywhere on the page, except where they should be going!! Also, all of a sudden I can lose everything that I have typed or just a percentage of what i have typed!!

This has taken me over half an hour to get this far, every time I get a paragraph done or nearly done it just disappears off my screen! When typing the ltrset go blue(highlighted) then go or disappear!u

Im not brilliant with computers so please explain as best as you can. Thank you very much, Jon Spencer..

Unable to fix DPM 2007 "Replica is inconsistent"

We have been running DPM 2007 (MMC 3.0 Ver 5.2 SP2) on a Windows Server 2003 R2 64-bit Standard Edition physical server (HP DL 380 G6) for two and a half years with few problems, but now we are seeing a problem with Replicas being inconsistent that refuse to become consistent. Here are the details of one of the cases:

Status:                        Replica is inconsistent
Replica path:               D:\ on <FQDN_Server> C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica\<FQDN_Server>\File System\
                                    D-673f06d6-8b19-11df-b36e-005056000001\d3188f9b-cbfe-4ab7-887b-9466b4f681e4\Full\
Latest recovery point: 8/22/2012 8:28:13 AM
Oldest recovery point: 8/1/2012 8:24:29 AM
Total recovery points: 22
Disk allocation:            Replica volume: 97.71 GB allocated, 52.20 GB used | Recovery point volume: 1,000.00 GB allocated, 569.50 GB used

The DPM Alerts in the Event Logs say:

"The replica of D:\ on <FQDN_Server> is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. (ID: 3163) DPM has run out of free space on the recovery point volume for D:\ on <FQDN_Server>. Protection for this data source will fail in order to prevent existing recovery points from being deleted before their expiration. (ID: 30077)"

Right-clicking and selecting "Perform consistency check . . ." does not fix the issue.

NOTE: The replica path location on the DPM server is pointing to the C: drive that is 136 GB in size with 63GB free space.

What are the possible reasons we are seeing this, and why can't I get these consistent?

Reply:

Robert,

I already tried that on the above volume, and now I have tried this on one of the other smaller volumes -- a DC's System State -- (which is showing the same error and the same DPM alerts as the larger volume above). Here are the numbers showing the change for the smaller volume:

STARTING NUMBERS:
    Replica Volume:
        Allocated: 15.11 GB
        Used: 9.70 GB
    Recovery point Volume:
        Allocated: 200.0 GB
        Used: 127.54 GB
NEW NUMBERS:
    Replica Volume:
        Allocated: 15.11 GB
        Used: 9.70 GB
    Recovery point Volume:
        Allocated: 220.0 GB    << Increased 10%
        Used: 127.54 GB

After increasing the recovery point volume by 10% in the smaller volume case, I ended up with the following error: "Consolidation of recovery points of the replica failed." I then right-clicked the SystemState volume and chose "Create Recovery Point - Disk" (since DPM reported none existed) and waited for that to complete. The end result was that I got to a green OK status in this case. However, the larger volume mentioned in the original statement of the problem, even after adding an additional 300 GB, won't move out of the "Replica is inconsistent" state to any other state when performing a consistency check . . .

If I am truly out of space, why is DPM showing only 569.50 "used" out of 1,000 GB allocated? For this kind of DPM alert, I would expect to see the used number nearly equalling the allocated space. If DPM requires more space then what is left over from the allocated, why doesn't the DPM console (or error/alert message) tell me that? If this is the case, then the "used" metric is useless and DPM needs to show required (unused) space instead. If this is not the case, and space is not an issue, then what else might be the problem?

Thank you for any help,

Chris

Update: Offline Service vs. Windows Update through Capture Process

Hello,

im asking which method is better to provide updates to a WIM-Image. First option to install the updates through the capturing Process. Secound option to capture the WIM-Image without installing updates and use the offline Service to update the WIM-Image.

What are the Advantages of both methods?

Reply:

Offline servicing cannot be used for XP and non-OS updates (e.g. Office).

Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

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

Adding to what Torsten said.

It totally depends on what you are comfortable with. I always use capture option if there is a major service pack or lot of updates to be applied. Both options will take time and require testing.. testing.. testing.

Regards, Vik Singh "If this thread answered your question, please click on "Mark as Answer"

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

Actually we only deploy Windows 7 x64. All application (IE 9) are installed through capturing. So it makes sense if i use the capture-method, to install the windows update at the end of the tasksequence, so that e.g. IE 9 gets his updates?!

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

What's wrong with using both? Offline servicing is vastly easier and quicker but, as Torsten mentioned, doesn't address everything; however, the things it doesn't address don't have to be in the image. IE and other application vulnerabilities can't be exploited unless you launch and use the application which doesn't happen during a TS so there is no security risk.

One other quick comment, service packs, if possible, should not be applied during a TS. Instead, you should use updated source media.

The two prime factors for putting something into an image are time and bandwidth usage and really bandwidth usage is typically only important if it affects and you are worried about time. Security is also a potential factor but can be handled in a variety of ways which offline updates does directly address.

Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com

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

If you have a properly configured "Build and Capture" and "Deploy" Task sequences. I don't think you really need offline servicing feature. You just have to have update your base "Reference image" every 3-4 months and delta updates that came out after that will get applied during deploy. Offline servicing cannot apply non-CBS updates and it's been pointed out pre Vista OSes don't support this model.

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

True; however, as easy as a build and capture task sequence is -- trust me on this one, I've extolled it's virtues since before ConfigMgr 2007 and regularily lambasted folks for not using them -- using offline updates is even easier and quicker. Non-CBS updates don't really need to be in the image. Why even run a build and capture when you can simply schedule an offline update to all of your images?

Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com

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

We have two Environments. The lab Enviroment is for creating the WIM-Image. We build and capture the WIM, install all neccessary application during the build&capture sequence and we inject the updates to the WIM-Image. After the WIM-Image ist "ready", we transfer it to the production enviroment. So everything happens in the LAB.

So we have to update Windows 7 and also Office 2010. After reading all threads i think a mix of both (offline service and windows update during build&capture process) is fine.

If a new Image has to be created, i will install all Updates that are available till this moment. All updates which will come later (Patchday), will injected by offline service.

Before going the re-seed route, can you confirm:

1) Are the database copies in a healthy status? (ex: Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -server "server_name" | ft )

2) To clarify, is the problem a high "CopyQueueLength" or a high "ReplayQueueLength"?

3) If it is a high "ReplayQueueLength", are there any replay lag times configured on the database copies showing a high replay ? (ex: Get-MailboxDatabase | fl name, replaylagtimes )

yes, it is for ReplayQueueLength and lagged copy of the database on the particular server

which is configured for 3 hours ReplayLagTimes

is that causing the high reply queue length

Most likely. The ReplayLagTime is a parameter that specifies the amount of time that the replication service waits before replaying the copied log files into the passive database copy. So, you should expect to see a higher ReplayQueueLength on your lagged copies when compared to your non-lagged copies.

Are the lagged copies in a "healthy" status?

To me, in my opinion, if your database copies are healthy and if you have a 3 hour lag configured, then the high ReplayQueueLength should be expected, and isn't indicative of a problem. I would only be concerned if the ReplayQueueLength on the lagged copies was not representative of the last ~3 hours worth of transaction logs from the active copy.

Yes Matt, Looks like the 3hrs is configuartion is causing the reply queue length more always

Shortcut properties: Setting target folder to current folder

I've got a flash drive that's used in a lot of PCs (several at home and a bunch in public places) and often for 1 set of files. The files/folders organization makes it time-consuming to navigate to those folders, so I set up a shortcut. The shortcut works great on that PC, but on other PCs the drive letter is different so the shortcut doesn't work. My flash drive has been listed as anything from Drive (D:), Drive (E:)... to Drive (J:). I've been looking for a way to edit the target folder in the shortcut properties to use the current directory as the starting point.

After some searching, I found this %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "" "%CD%\folder1\folder2\folder3" at the link:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169556/making-a-windows-shortcut-start-relative-to-where-the-folder-is

The top answer works on my home PCs (where I have full rights), but I'm wondering if this may not work on locked down PCs since it's using the command prompt. If so, is there another way to set the current directory in the shortcut properties?

Have you already decided against using an application designed to do that ?
