Does the upgrade allow the Windows 7 to be continued to be used in a VM on the same PC?
Hi
No.
Although the EULA for Windows 8 have been completely re-written the part about using an upgrade is the same.
You must have a Qualifying, licensed version of windows to install an upgrade version. When you install the upgrade version the license for the qualifying version becomes part of the upgrade license. So the qualifying version license can no longer be used.
According to the license, a VM is the same as a physical computer.

Oh, how about copying some files over from Windows 7 that are missing in Windows 8?
I would like to copy the Spider Solitaire files from Windows 7 if that is permissible. The Modern UI Spider Solitaire is useable on a PC. I can write an essay on that.

Windows 8 Upgrade doesn't seems be working as it should be. Because people who purchased the Windows 8 Upgrade Key for $14.99 can do the clean install. What's the point of offering an upgrade key which allows full clean installation? Is Windows 8 gone that cheap? No Value for the product? Is Microsoft aware of this? If so please do scrutinize this issue

the AWESOME power of invoke-cmd
Invoke-command is one of the most useful features of powershell when managing multiple computers. But there are some issues with it such as trying to figure out which server came back with errors and which completed successfully does not make it easy. I've written a wrapper function called invoke-cmd to enhance invoke-command features to get the most out of psremoting. The ideas are based on Dan Farino's serveragent and run-agent command he wrote for Myspace which he created to work with powershell v1. But now v2 has psremoting so I thought why not use this builtin technology so here's what I've come up with so far. You must try it out on a few servers to truely see its potential and how it makes things much easier. I'm not sure where else to post this so I'm posting here to get suggestions from the community on how to make it better and to share freely something I think is really cool. The help is builtin so once you dot load the function into your session then you can "help invoke-cmd -full" to see details and lots of examples for beginners. Here's the description.
SYNOPSIS
Run commands on multiple computers asyncronously. Results are stored in global $icmd so you can avoid
running the command again to see the results. Alias is icmd.
By: David Lee
SYNTAX
invoke-cmd [[-Command] <Object>] [[-ComputerName] <String[]>] [[-ThrottleLimit] <Int32>] [[-TimeoutSeconds] <Int32>
] [[-GetExecTime] <Boolean>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This function allows us to run a command or scriptblock of commands to one or many computers asyncronously.
Security is builtin using kerberos and your current login user.
This relies on invoke-command to do the actual remoting. invoke-cmd enhances invoke-command by adding the following
features:
- Ability to pipe in a list of servers as well as a parameter.
- Much better error handling and presentation.
- Results are presented in a uniform way for better post processing.
- Timeout capability is managed properly since the -sessionoption doesn't seem to work.
- Added Success property so its easy to filter out the good or bad results depending on what we're looking for.
- If you forget to store the results in a variable initially, you can access the global $icmd to avoid running
the command again just to see the results.
- Can get execution time
Requirements:
- Powershell 2.0+
- PSRemoting must be enabled on both local and remote computer. (enable-psremoting)
- Execution policy need to allow access. (set-executionpolicy unrestricted)
- You must be an administrator on both the local and remote computer.
Disclaimer: With great power comes great responsibilities.

Exchange 2013 Error 8224
This error, on installation, is directly correlated to the Windows Firewall.
Error 8224 is easily resolved by checking the Windows Firewall Profile and either, A. Disable Domain Profile firewall as well as Private and Public Profles. B. Disable or turn off Windows Firewall and change the state of the service to Manual.
Once this action has been taken on ALL DC's, and then Each rebooted, validate your domain replication and netlogin services are available by starting at the root DC and validate if you can reach the other DC's via browser \\DC1... You should then see a minimum of two folders; NETLOGON and SYSVOL.. there may be other folders depending on your environment; but you MUST see these two folders from EVERY DC that is in your plan to launch or install Exchange 2013 on.
Cross validate on ALL DC's you can see all shares and this error will be a thing of the past.

can i use default settings for all services running in sharepoint 2013
Hi,
I installed and try to configure sharepoint 2013 server(Enterprise edition).
While running configuration wizard it asked me to choose the services which will associate with this farm and there i selected all the services except lotus notes and then my central administration site was created with default services settings.
Now am i need to configure or change any service settings or can i leave it and work on default settings. Especially i want to use search service and user profile service synchronisation from AD.
When i see the search service i got this message "Where should users' searches go?"Provide the location of the global Search Center" To solve this if i create a new site collection with Enterprise search template and add that url into search service page would be sufficient or am i need to do anything else.
Thank you.
Reply:
for user profile service, if you want to import user from AD, you have to create a connection and start the synchronization service, start a new full synchronization.

Can Intune be used for OS Installation?
We are thinking about singing up for the Intune service (about 100 PCs), can the service do OS installs? If so, how does it work? PXE, WDS, etc...
Also, for the software deployment, are the software packages stored locally or in the cloud?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Hamilton,
No, you cannot deploy OS via Windows Intune. Software packages are stored in the cloud.

Bug or Feature? ;) 2012 RDS sysprep unattend.xml doesn't join VD to a domain

Ok, I remove these settings from unattend.xml and then it starts successfully.
But when VD is created, started and sysprepped, it turns out having random computer name and not joined a domain, and asking me for a network location (despite set in unattend.xml). Consequently, Start-RolloutVM process doesn't get "sysprep complete" info, and doesn't continue to the next VD.
.
What is curious, when I point unattend.xml WITH domain join settings and computer name to the new VD collection wizard, it says it needs Local account in unattend.xml, and doesn't say anything for computer name/domain.
After all, wizard doesn't even run Start-RolloutVM, fails with "Cannot get collection" error.
.
Quite surprising, you know... ;)

On a SSD Windows 8 Pro 64bit installation move "Users" files, "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" to another hard drive.
Hi to all,
I just recently upgraded from Win7Pro to Win8Pro 64bit. The installation was done using the Upgrade DVD choosing not to keep anything from the previous installation.
Since my installation is on a 60Gb SSD, I immediately wanted to free as much as possible of valuable disk space from system drive.
Among other things like disabling hibernation etc, I decided to move the Users directory as well as the Program Files, both 64 and x86 version.
The method I used was the following:
1. Boot from original DVD media.
2. In first setup screen Shift+F10 to bring up the Command Prompt window
3. Robocopy C:\Users D:\Users /copyall /mir /xj
4. Rmdir C:/Users /S /Q
5. Mklink c:\Users d:\Users /J
Everything worked perfectly. Now I tried to do the same for Program Files (32 & 64 bit folders). The method used was exactly the same.
Everything worked fine BUT, Internet Explorer in the "Metro" environment refused to start.
All other applications, at least the ones I tested, started OK. Only IE did not start, by stopping in the blue screen with the big logo e icon in center.
I also noticed that when ever I tried to start the IE in Metro, the program failed like I said, but at the same time it silently was started in the desktop environment and if I left the metro and clicked the Desktop IE was open there.
The errors recorded in the event logs were:
a. In Application Log: Activation of app DefaultBrowser_NOPUBLISHERID!Microsoft.InternetExplorer.Default failed with error: The app didn't start in the required time. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.
b. and in System Log: The server DefaultBrowser.DefaultBrowserActivatableClass did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
So I had to go back and reverse the Program Files and Program Files (x86) operation by deleting junctions and Robocopying the data back to their original place. The good thing is that Windows proved to be enough fault tolerant and worked OK after this.
So at this moment only my Users folder remains transferred. Still because I think that this is a very important "hack" in terms of storage space gained, I believe that it's worth to try for someone to achieve this. So I posted the article/question in order to share the experience and hopefully listen to some ideas or even solutions.
Greetings to all from Greece.
...btw, Windows 8 64bit, on a Phenom II machine with 8Gb 800Mhz DDR2 Ram with SSD System drive, truly is a VERY FAST thing...

Hello,
I experienced exactly the same problem just updating to Windows 8 Pro from Vista on my Notebook Samsung X360. In addiction I can't start IE10 on desktop too, when I click on IE icon nothing happens.... I could start IE10 with "run as Administrator" option on desktop.
Thank you for help!

I forgot to mention. Another thing I did was to go to Control panel -> Add Remove Windows Features -> Remove IE 10 (Uncheck) and Ok and Reboot.
IE was removed.
Then I tried to add it back, using: Control panel -> Add Remove Windows Features -> Remove IE 10 (Check), buy unfortunately this did not work. Then I went back to restoring the original placement of Program files and then I reinstalled IE 10, and everything worked.
Would it be a good idea to try this? Having of course in mind that if IE does not reinstall you will have to use something like Chrome, Mozilla etc...

Hi,
This is awesome. I just had one question, why is the rmdir step before Mklink?
I accidentally did rmdir c:\users instead of c:/ as you wrote. I think it delete my users directory and I couldn't do the Mklink step.
Will things be different if I do the C:/ or should I do the MKlink first?
I had to reinstall windows again so I want to make sure I get this right.
Thanks for the help!
------------------------------------
Reply:
The rmdir part is absolutely needed because you cannot create a junction (mklink) with the name of an existing folder. The real Users directory on C:\ should have been removed before creating the mklink for it.
The rmdir C:/Users /S /Q is obviously a typo error.
The correct is C:\Users /S /Q
Anyway this is not a problem since if you tried to run rmdir c:/Users /S /Q you have got the "Invalid Switch" message.
Also an advice: This actions should be tried only if you really know what you are doing.
Hope I helped.

Exchange 2010 Certificates - Wildcard or Static Name Entries?
Hello everyone, I have a dilemma.
I am implementing two exchange 2010 SP2 servers. I am changing out our DNS structure for them, currently we use sub-domains of our domain (eg. m.domain.com, exchange.domain.com.) I have plans to move each exchange server to a sub-domain of m.domain.com (eg. ex1.m.domain.com and ex2.m.domain.com.) I believe using a wildcard certificate will be the cheapest and most beneficial approach to future company growth, however that isn't as secure as specifically identify each FQDN to use.
So if I use wildcard certificates I'll need to limit the amount of incompatibilities. My thought is to use:
- domain.com
- *.domain.com
- *.m.domain.com (instead of using *.*.domain.com)
That leaves me with a single certificate and a standard price, as 3 domains are allowed with a single purchase.
Now if I were to purchase certificates using the FQDN of each service/device I'll need more SAN entries. For instance:
- autodiscover.m.domain.com
- m.domain.com (for load balancer, not yet implemented)
- domain.com
- ex1.m.domain.com
- ex2.m.domain.com
This option will add an extra $100 do the purchase and limits me to using the certificate for those services. Anyone have any suggestions? Am I missing any FQDN entries?
Entrust.com allows 3 domains for the price of the UC certificate, more SANs can be added for an additional charge. Can I get my set up down to using just 3 domains?

Trying to Remove Database with disconnected mailboxes that have a blank "DisconnectReason"
I've got a DB that I'm trying to get rid of and have purged it of all disconnected mailboxes, except 3 that are left. These 3 mailboxes (2 former users, 1 SystemMailbox***) do not have a value for DisconnectReason for some reason.
Things I've tried:
Get-Mailbox -Arbitration (this does not show any arbitration or archive mailboxes on this DB I'm trying to delete)
Remove-Mailbox -Database "DB01" -Identity "<MapiIdentity GUID>" -MailboxState <tried SoftDeleted, Disabled, Blank, *) - This option does not work either, it requires a MailboxState value. The only values avaialble for this parameter are either SoftDeleted or Disabled, neither of which work. Tried an asterisk but it threw back an error
I thought about going through AD and look for an attribute that I could manually change so that the mailboxes have a value of SoftDeleted or Disabled, but I don't know where in AD a disconnected mailbox would be pointing to.
Any suggestions?

Create Management Agent wizard hangs on Connect to Database screen if SQL Server address formatted incorrectly
Hi,
Just thought I'd share my solution to a problem in case someone else runs into it. Using FIM 2010 R2 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1. This is a lab setup with Service, Sync Service and Portal on one server; have not installed Password Reg/Reset. I created a SQL Server MA without issues. Now I'm trying to create a FIM Service MA using the Create wizard in the Synchronization Service Manager. On the "Connect to Database" screen I fill in what I think are the right values, click Next, and... nothing happens. For many minutes. Event Viewer logs (Application Log and the FIM-specific logs) don't tell me anything. Back button does nothing. Cancel button does nothing. Sync Service Manager seems frozen.
Then I realize that, in the Server field, between the server FQDN and the instance name (this is NOT using a named instance), I put the slash the wrong way (/ instead of \). Killed the Sync Service Manager process, started fresh, put the proper slash - and I can proceed.
I want to know if everyone would like foundation to work on windows7/vista

You can install SharePoint 2010 on a Windows 7 PC for development.

If your machine has at least 8 gig's of ram and a dual core processor, all you need is a Windows Server install disk.
Last I checked Windows Server 2012 is still in preview mode and you can download it for the 180 day evaluation.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh670538.aspx
Now, just use Virtual Box.. www.virtualbox.org to create a virtual machine running Windwos Server 2012 and install SharePoint Foundation on the virtual machine. You can run the virtual machine on Windows 7 using VirtualBox.
So at most, eventually you would need a full version of Windows Server, which is 500-800$ for the standard version
Actually, on the link above, you can download the evaluation VHD, which is a virtual machine already set up. Just attach the VHD to an IDE Controller in Virtual Box and boot it up.

I'm trying to get SPGroups from a SharePoint Online Site using a Sandboxed WebPart, but its not working... When it runs the following error is shown:
WebPart Error: Request for code execution in safe mode. (rough translation, cause the original message is displayed in Portuguese (pt-Br))
Part of the used code:
using (SPWeb spWeb = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb)
{
foreach (SPGroup group in spWeb.Groups)
{...}
}
Any help will be much appreciated.
Tks.

Can you trying it using ClientObject model(CSOM) . Pseudo code will be Like
using(ClientContext ctx = GetAuthenticatedContext()) //GetAuthenticatedContext will be a private function returning authenticated context using credentials
{
var groups = ctx.Web.SiteGroups; // Here is group collection.
..........
}
From your code it seems like you are using Server Object Model. Please try with CSOM

Hey Jaik,
Thanks for your attention... But I had to change my approach, now I'm looking for users, using User Information List, instead the groups.
Best regards.

Hey Jaik...
I'm trying to use the client context.... but I'm still getting this error:
System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.
The action that failed was:
LinkDemand
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
MyComputer
I'm referencing the dll: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client
In my AssemblyInfo has the line: [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()]
Here is the code:
using (ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(SPContext.Current.Web.Url))
{
GroupCollection groups = ctx.Web.SiteGroups;
foreach (Group group in groups)
{
if (group.Title != null && !this.GroupsToExclude.Contains(group.Title))
{
foreach (User user in group.Users)
{
urlPicture = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists[this.UserInformationList].GetItemById(user.Id)["Picture"] == null ? SPContext.Current.Web.Url + "/_layouts/images/person.gif" : SPContext.Current.Web.Lists[this.UserInformationList].GetItemById(user.Id)["Picture"].ToString();
urlPicture = urlPicture.Contains(",") ? urlPicture.Split(',')[0] : urlPicture;
EmployeeInfo employee = new EmployeeInfo();
employee.Id = user.Id.ToString();
employee.Email = user.Email == null ? "" : user.Email;
employee.CurrentGroup = group.Title;
employee.UserName = user.Title == null ? "" : user.Title;
employee.Picture = urlPicture;
employees.Add(employee);
}
}
}
}
Any idea to solve this problem?
Tks...

Is HyperV for Win8 replacing MED-V?
...

There is as I see it, kind of lacking features in the Hyper-V for Windows clients. There will be no in-box feature for seamless app. I think also that the XP Mode for Win 7 was a way if I did not need the MED-V infrastructure.
There is a possibility that there will be some third party software that will enable for seamless app integration.

HI,
have you used:
using System.Xml.Linq;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Infopath
And added the reference
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Infopath.dll, and a reference to System.Xml.Linq.dll.
