Root Relative Symbolic Links Not Resolving Properly in Properties Window
We have symbolically linked files on one of the volumes on our server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard). The links use root relative paths in order to reference files within the same volume. So, these files have targets like "\archive\2012\02\30\mediafile.mts". This is all awesome and great. Both from within the server and from networked clients (as long as fsutil's SymlinkEvaluation has R2R enabled), all these symlinks work great and we save a ton of space consolidating duplicate files in projects.
However, both Windows 7 and Windows Server have a serious problem if you attempt to inspect the properties of a file (context menu item Properties). The first tab that appears is the Shortcut tab, but in the form the value for Target: is incorrectly resolved. If one attempts to change tabs, the system throws a warning and refuses to change tabs:
"Problem with Shortcut: The name [some path] specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."
The path listed in there seems to be resolving the relative path into the current directory, rather than--as is stated in the Microsoft documentation on Creating Symbolic Links--to resolve relative links beginning with "\" as referencing the root of the current drive.
This behavior makes it impossible to view the other properties of the file in the explorer GUI. This seems like a rather obvious bug that I would be surprised if others have not encountered before.
All the symbolic link files that we have on our system were created using the CreateSymbolicLink method found in kernel32.dll.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Since this problem is a development related issue. I suggest that you could post you question to the MSDN forum then you could get more information there.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

Okay, thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably post it somewhere there also.
For clarification, though, I wouldn't want it misconstrued that this is only limited to a development question. The fact that valid root relative symbolic links are getting resolved differently in different contexts tells me this is a bug in Windows and, honestly, I'm actually not sure where to file bugs for Windows. ;)
Despite that, you are probably correct that this might not be the best place to solicit feedback, since it seems that none of the standard tools that admins use to generate symlinks are actually capable of generating valid root relative symbolic links. I suspect that fact might be good reason that other admins haven't experienced this issue before.
For instance, if you attempt to create a root relative symbolic link using mklink, the resulting symlink exhibits similar behavior. However, in the case of mklink generated links, the incorrect interpretation of the root relative link (starting from the current directory) gets stored as an absolute path in the target value. So, it always fails, whereas at least the ones created use the kernel32.dll method work in most circumstances.
The PSCX New-Symlink cmdlet, on the other hand, also fails to generate true root relative links, but it at least gets its absolute target path correct.

Word 2010 Workgroup Template Saving
Win 7 Pro, Office 2010 environment. Our company has a workgroup template location mapped to a network drive with normal.dotm saved locally on the user machines. We have an issue when a workgroup template .dotx or .dotm is opened (through the typical New - My Templates), it creates a new .docx like it should, but when you close the document the user is prompted to save changes to the .dotx or .dotm. Of 30 workstations in my office only two have this issue and I can't seem to find a solution. This occurs regardless of the template being read-only or not and again only on two workstations. All others are not prompted to save changes to the .dotx or .dotm.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
Reply:
I think one potential way that this would occur is if in the user's Normal template they have a style name that is the same as a style name in the Work Group template, and the style name in the user's template is marked to Automatically Update. I believe this would cause Word to think that it had to not only update the style in the user's Normal template but also update the style settings in the Work Group template.
Well that's my guess right now. :-)

Patching practices and policies
I am the new crowned ruler of WSUS at my company. We have over 300 servers in our environment and have never had any kind of patching schedule at all. In fact, over most of our maintenance windows, we get a list of 30-40 servers we have to patch manually and patch them that way.
Obviously this is a problem. So, I've installed WSUS and started by making a single group that does nightly patching/reboots when patches are available, and it has thus far worked like a charm. It is only patching a set group of 30-40 servers that are test/development or just aren't that important to the day to day operations of the company (a large group of desktop imaging servers, for example). Yes, desktop imaging servers are important, but they could be rebuilt in a few hours and won't put a stop to our business if a patch were to break them.
Using group policies, you can unfortunately only set WSUS to work on certain days of the week, not certain days of the month (unless someone knows something I don't). Ideally I could say one group gets patches on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, and another would get the patches the next week after nothing bad happens to the group getting patches on the 3rd Tuesday. Since you can only choose certain days of the week and not of the month, do most people just approve the patches for install for the first group, then come back the next week and approve the patches? How do you verify that the patches released by microsoft are ok? Do you follow the KB article link for each patch and see if it has any warnings? Or do you just push the patches and then depend on the application owners to let you know if their test application broke after patching?
I'm sure I will have more follow up questions, but this is it for now. Please let me know how you handle these in your environment. I don't want to make any assumptions or look stupid when I start meeting with the application groups.

This is achieved by setting the installation event to run on TUESDAY at the desired time, and then approving the updates AFTER the 2nd Tuesday of the month (which is kinda impossible not to do anyway, since the updates don't even arrive until lunchtime on the 2nd Tuesday), so that the machine gets the approvals, downloads the content, and then schedules the update installations on the NEXT Tuesday -- which would be the 3rd Tuesday.
and another would get the patches the next week after nothing bad happens to the group getting patches on the 3rd Tuesday.
And this is achieved by defining a second WSUS Target Group for the "4th Tuesday" group, and approving the updates for that group after the installation event for the "3rd Tuesday" group has passed. The clients will get the approvals, download the content, and schedule the update installations for the NEXT Tuesday -- which would be the 4th Tuesday.
Since you can only choose certain days of the week and not of the month, do most people just approve the patches for install for the first group, then come back the next week and approve the patches?Most people do not install updates to servers using scheduled installation events.
How do you verify that the patches released by microsoft are ok?>TESTING, or by following web resources frequented by those who do testing and report their results. PatchManagement.org should be on your Must Read list.
Do you follow the KB article link for each patch and see if it has any warnings?It likely will not .. until several other organizations have already suffered the pain of those discovered and validated issues.
Or do you just push the patches and then depend on the application owners to let you know if their test application broke after patching?Yeah, a lot of patch admins do that too. The AppOwners are not usually to fond of those PatchAdmins. Neither is Organizational Management. Those PatchAdmins usually find themselves demoted back to Desktop Help Desk jobs when they use that methodology. :-)

Have you considered just using the SQL management agent if SQL is your data source? That will make the processing of the multivalued attributes much simpler. You can have a separate table dedicated to the MVAs.

Sami is right - you'll have a much easier time interfacing with SQL for multivalue attributes. If you have to work in a text file, the AVP format is your second choice. It handles multivalued attributes in a single text file like this:
Name: Group A

Valid Reasons for NULLs in Foreign Keys
There is no database design reason to allow NULLs in Foreign Key columns since it violates referential integrity.
One common scenario: business process forces NULL in the FK column. The database designer and programmer have no choice, business users want it that way. The tacit assumption, in some such cases, is that the FK info will be filled as soon as it is available.
Example for a table with NULL FK-s is Production.Product in AdventureWorks sample database. When FinishedGoodsFlag = 0 (parts), 4 FK-s are NULLs:
The underlying logical data model is the mixing of parts and finished products in the same (Product) table.
SELECT ProductID ,Name AS ProductName ,FinishedGoodsFlag ,ProductSubcategoryID ,ProductModelID ,SizeUnitMeasureCode ,WeightUnitMeasureCode FROM AdventureWorks2008.Production.Product ORDER BY FinishedGoodsFlag, ProductName /* ProductID ProductName FinishedGoodsFlag ProductSubcategoryID ProductModelID SizeUnitMeasureCode WeightUnitMeasureCode 1 Adjustable Race 0 NULL NULL NULL NULL 3 BB Ball Bearing 0 NULL NULL NULL NULL 2 Bearing Ball 0 NULL NULL NULL NULL 316 Blade 0 NULL NULL NULL NULL 324 Chain Stays 0 NULL NULL NULL NULL 322 Chainring 0 NULL NULL NULL NULL ....*/ Related articles:

I can't see which way this kind of purism may help better DB design.
Any referencial integrity reflects some business rule, isn't it, we don't declare constraints on data just out of our fantazy. And the rule behind nullable FK is simple and sound: "if this data is relevant to this record it must be one from the referenced table". Not so much difference compared to "if this data is relevant to this record it must be integer value".
Serg
------------------------------------
Reply:
Would you also argue that if you have a CHECK constraint on a column that that column should also no longer allow NULL?
I don't agree that allowing a NULL in a Foreign Key always violates referential integrity. Whether it violates integrity depends on the relation that is modeled with the Foreign Key constraint.
If an order_lines table references an orders table on order_id, then I would say the integrity is in danger if order_lines.order_id is allowed to be NULL, because it could result in orphaned order_lines, which have no meaning without a corresponding order.
But if a user_agents table is referencing a browser_brands table on brand_id, then I would not any integrity problem if user_agents.brand_id is allowed to be NULL, because it would simply mean that the particular user-agent is not yet classified, or its brand is unknown. A user_agent without a brand is a perfectly valid data object.

"There is no database design reason to allow NULLs in Foreign Key columns since it violates referential integrity."
Huh? Why is that?
NULL means unknown or not relevant. As long as the parent or the child regards that datum as unknown or not relevant, NULL is fine.
Not allowing NULLs on the parent side of an FK (well, no more than one) is an implementation details of SQL Server storing NULLs on the INDEX. Oracle, which does not store NULLs on the INDEX, allows multiple NULLs even after a UNIQUE CONSTRAINT/INDEX, and hence in the parent side of an FK.

Valid reasons? Maybe becase the cardinality of the relationship includes a zero cardinality as a needed business case? That works for me. Why force in a foreign reference if the foreign data is not relevant to the entity? I agree that tou can, but in the end aren't you still adding a "no value" column in the foreign table -- oh yeah, it might be simpler just to represent "no value" as ... null maybe?

Thanks for the great contributions.
Specific table topic. What is the justification (if any) of modelling parts (NULL FK-s) and for-sale-products (populated FK-s) into the same table (AdventureWorks2008.Production.Product) resulting in lots of (predictable) NULLs? To me it appears like two tables in one.

I'd better say storing two (three?) entities in a generalized table. Yes, at conceptual level it's quite reasonable to have PRODUCT, PART is_a PRODUCT and FOR-SALE-PRODUCT is_a PRODUCT entities.
How much tables (1, 2 or 3) is better ... It totally depends on how much these entities have in common or different regarding set of attributes, relationships with other entities, users permissions, logging and backup/restore policies, and so on, in brief.

See for example http://www.tdan.com/view-articles/5014/ and other numerous papers on PARTY modeling.
Another subject is materials supply. Millions of items against hundreds of attributes form kind of sparse matrix. How do you compute proper number of tables given such a martix? Will you assign special table for every subset of attributes?
3NF is realy great step, major development in infomation structure modeling. May i say, if DB designer do not understand 3NF, he (she) is simply dangerous. But not the final step.

CREATE TABLE Automobile ( VIN varchar(17) PRIMARY KEY, Make varchar(16), Model varchar(16), [Year] smallint, Color varchar(16), SellerID int references SalesRep(SellerID), CustomerID int references Customer(CustomerID), ModifiedDate date default(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) );

Windows Vista update KB938371: USB mouse not recognized
Hello
I have Windows Vista Business 32 bits (dutch version). Today I received update KB938371 (and a few more, but they don't cause any problems).
After restarting the system, the updates are fully installed. I can see my mouse-pointer, but my mouse stopped working. I get a failure, telling me that it cannot install the HID-compliant device. My mousepad is working though (it is a notebook...). I cannot remove the update. Others can be removed, but this one can't.
I discovered that this is already a known problem, but no solution yet..
Hey guys.. I logoff en start my LINUX.. that works fine...

| Hi all,
I found the solution on another forum (forgot which one), and posted this solution in several threads. The problem is, as stated, a Human Interface Device in combination with update KB938371. After installing it, my usb-mouse stopped working. Just go to device manager --> HID-devices --> Unknown Device and search for drivers. Vista will not find any drivers online, so you have to search for drivers on your own computer. The location of this driver (in most cases) will be C:/Windows/Winsxs. You will get a popup saying "this is an unsigned driver bla bla bla". Just install the driver. The mouse worked for me (even without reboot).

I had the same problem. I tried the frist solution posted here and it didn't work. However, everytime I removed the HID my mouse would work untill Vista installed it's own drivers and told me the device is working properly. That's when it stopped working. I tried shutting off the auto update driver for Vista but it does it anyway whether its turned on or not, which is the most ludicrous thing. Tried system restore and that didn't help either. I then went down to my computer junk box and pulled out an adapter from USB connection to the older PS2 connection. Works fine now. Just wish they would fix it though.
I can't use my new video card since I "upgraded" to Vista either, had to put in my old one. If I keep down grading to keep up with Vista I'm just going back to a typewriter.
I did not try the last solution here yet. I may at a later date, when my blood pressure goes down.

Quanto ao meu rato usb da Microsoft - Optical basic usb mouse V2.0 - não dá para perceber como é que Bill Gates ou o seu braço direito e restantes empregados espalhados pelo mundo inteiro, não foram capazes de compatibilizar materiais por si criados. Ou seja, submetem pessoas, aparelhos, fazem testes a tudo e até no conforto chegam a pensar. E chega um pequeno rato usb da propria marca, criado pelos mesmos e para meu espanto, nada.
Quanto a uma carta escrita (mail mais propriamente) à Microsoft Portugal, a mesma respondeu-me com uma resposta identica à que estava no site de "support", tendo eu respondido que já tinha recebido online a mesma resposta e que para isso para que haver entao esse mail dedicado aos consumidores.
Quanto aos senhores da Microsoft, usem os vossos tradutores e ponham la isto em ingles.
Porque Espanha, França, Holanda, Finlandia entre outros países, está tudo traduzido para as suas linguas.
Aqui, na terra dos tugas, nao faz mal, usa-se o portugues do brasil, aproveitando-se a "carona" do pessoal que teve essa trabalheira de traduzir o que os americanos criaram. E por aqui me fico.
Obrigada desde já aos meus compatriotas que se vão desenrascando no meio de tantas tropelias, e ainda por cima por um software pago.

I followed your directions, to some extent... (go to device manager-->USB Trackball-->Update driver by searching on the computer)... and pointed to C:\Windows\Winsxs. I installed the unsigned driver... and the USB trackball mouse started working.

Excellent it works with me I have windows vista business 64 Bit.
Hi all,
I found the solution on another forum (forgot which one), and posted this solution in several threads. The problem is, as stated, a Human Interface Device in combination with update KB938371. After installing it, my usb-mouse stopped working. Just go to device manager --> HID-devices --> Unknown Device and search for drivers. Vista will not find any drivers online, so you have to search for drivers on your own computer. The location of this driver (in most cases) will be C:/Windows/Winsxs. You will get a popup saying "this is an unsigned driver bla bla bla". Just install the driver. The mouse worked for me (even without reboot).
OS: Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

Thanks for the solution. It worked at restoring my mouse. However, I still have a problem with my printer showing up as Unknown Device in the USB Controllers section of Device Manager. I'm using a Dell Laser 1700 on Vista Home Premium 64-bit with SP2 installed. With this printer plugged into the USB port, Device Manager picks it up as Unknown Device. Uninstalling/Reinstalling this printer's driver compatible with Vista 64-bit downloaded from Dell doesn't resolve the problem.
However, my other printer, HP DJ 6540 is recognized when plugged into the same USB port.
Any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks,

1. Open "My Computer" and go to the following location
C:\windows\system32\drivers.
2. Find a file named "idcphid.sys" and rename it to "idcphid.old".
3. Now uninstall the "IdeaCom HID Touch Screen (PS/2)" driver under "Human Interface Devices " in "Device Manager" (Device Manager can be found under "Control Panel" > "Administrative Tools" > "Computer Management ")
4. Your computer will require a restart. After the restart completes your
problem should be fixed.

With reference to Dr. Nitro's solution - I am now facing a similar problem of "USB device not recognised". But the strangest part is under HID devices, there is nothing called as "unknown device" listed. I don't know how to proceed further. Instead there used to be a "unknown device" listed under "Sound, game controllers" but i have uninstalled it.

SharePoint 2010 - August 2011 CU and AJAX Issues
Good Day,
I don't really blog, but I thought you all might find this interesting (and useful). This seems like a good place :)
I build a lot of custom ASPX pages in SharePoint, and of course, I make sure to execute asynchronous partial postbacks whenever possible. My favorite way of doing this in ASPX is through the UpdatePanel control.
Like many of you, I need to process the page before and after the partial postback to, for example:
- Disable controls before the post and disable after the post
- Launch wait UI before the post and disable after the post
- Populate session values
- Etc
So, what I've done in the past is to leave a globally scoped if statement that checks for the Sys object (i.e. existing Microsoft AJAX framework), and when defined and not null, register my handlers. For example...
//globally scoped if statement
// pardon typos as I did not use cut/paste due to forums formatting issues
if (typeof(Sys) != "undefined" && Sys != null) {
Sys.Application.add_init(register_init_methods);
}
function register_init_methods() {
var pageManager = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();
pageManager.add_beginRequest(BeginPostBackHandler);
pageManager.add_endRequest(EndPostBackHandler);
}
// then write my Begin/EndPostBackHandler methods to do stuff.
It seems like a change was introduced in when, relative to the page DOM ready state, the Sys object is defined as of the August 2011 CU. Before the CU, Sys was defined and not null when my custom JavaScript was processed:
- On page load
- After full page postbacks via, say, a custom Submit button or when the user presses F5 to reload the page
After the CU, the Sys object is still defined when my custom JavaScript is processed on page load. However, it's type is now undefined after full-page postbacks (before the page DOM is in a ready state). Subtle, yes, but it broke my code because the if statement above evaluated to false, and of course, my handlers were never registered.
Long and short of it is this: if you were checking for the existiance of the Sys object before the page DOM was in a ready state, it's not going to be there. So, if you use this methodology, you may want to wrap your check in a document ready check using JQuery such as follows....
$(document).ready(function () {
setSys();
});
function setSys() {
if (typeof(Sys != "undefined" && Sys != null)
Sys.Application.add_init(register_init_methods);
}
Also, if you use begin/end postback handlers in Visual Web Parts...you would have needed to do this all along (even before the CU).
I hope this helps somebody out because it took me awhile to track this subtle, yet highly impacting, change.

Certificate renewal period being ignored (OCSP)
I have a Windows 2008 OCSP responder that is automatically renewing it's signing certificate (from an Enterprise 2008 CA) every 2 days, despite the template having a lifetime of a year and a renewal period of 6 weeks (yes I know that is considered too long, has to be that way).
When the OCSP service was first installed the template had a very short lifetime with a renewal period of two days, however it's subsequently been extended. The provider has been deleted and re-added, but it won't honor the new renewal periods. The CA stopped offering the template, then re added it.
In between re-adding an OCSP provider any old certs have been deleted (from the service account).
Any ideas what could be happening?

After you edit the template, you have to re-enroll all certificate holders

RDP 6.1 client for linux
As no one out there seems to do anything about this i think it would be a good sales trick for Microsoft to make their own RDP client for linux witch is compliant with RDP 6.1. The sales trick is not to support linux but to encourge companies (big and small) to start using Windows server 2008 with all its facilities in stead of hanging on to windows server 2003.
Hope somebody at Microsoft reads this........... :-)

This is one of the problems when using a non-Windows client OS, that you are limited to what the open source developers have added to the rdp client, in this case rdesktop. At Quest we had this same problem, but have since created our own version of rdesktop that is RDP 6.x compliant, and has our own virtual channel extensions for USB, multimedia, passthru authentication, microphone...
You could do the same, but this required a lot of development time, or you could continue to use solutions from Microsoft Partners like Quest & Citrix to fill the gaps.

rdesktop is released under GPL and according to GPL everything which is based on GPL must be also GPL-ish
so, read GPLv2 and if you are not getting modified sources, it looks much like license violation
------------------------------------
Reply:
@Patrick Rouse:
What you have done is very respectable however the fact that you did not release your work to the community is not only a violation of the underlying licensing model you also demonstrate that you did not get the spirit of open source at all.
Where would you have started with your work if all your antecessors would have behaved in such a manner.
Just m 2 cents.

@goppi:
As a heavy linux and open source fan, as well as a member of the corporate community, I can say that you have no idea what you are talking about. The whole idea behind free software is not to force people to let everyone use anything they use, it's to provide people with source code to the programs and libraries that they use. Closed source is a restriction upon developers and end users; it causes those who use the software to become dependent on the partent company for security updates and fixes. The goal is NOT to make software cost nothing or force those who use it to have to release their code. This is quite restrictive; and restrictive isn't free. The GPL is copy-left to keep people from using the original source in a product, then releasing it closed to others. Releasing the code only applies to those that are releasing the code to the public.
As taken from the GNU FAQ:
- Does the GPL require that source code of modified versions be posted to the public?
- The GPL does not require you to release your modified version, or any part of it. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.
- But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL. Thus, the GPL gives permission to release the modified program in certain ways, and not in other ways; but the decision of whether to release it is up to you.
- You really should read up and learn about what free software really is. Uneducated and misinformed ideas and opinions on it is what causes many of reasons why companies look at free software as a bad thing. I've provided some links to some areas where you can get started below. Please, in the future, don't speak out on something you don't know about.

Just want to mention that Micorsoft's own RDP client for OS X does [still] not support RDP6.1 (At least not the TS-broker thing) either.

I don't believe Quest spent days, if not weeks to add RDPv6 and don't release it to their clients (what Patrick actually mentioned in his post). Wouldn't be the first time that GPL is simply ignored!
Exactly.
@Patrick Rouse:
Thanks for posting the GPL links but I'm aware of the content and so I also know what I'm talking about. When making my statements I assumed that of course your company released those modifications to customers. If this is not the case and you only use those modifications internally then take my apologize for being offensive.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Whether or not Quest complied with the letter of the law of the GPL regarding release of their version, they certainly did not follow the spirit of open source. They took an open source project, which they could only do because it had been released openly, and changed it, and then refused to release it openly. Why -- just because they could?
The whole point of open source is to share the software so that other people can improve it and share it back. It's not just a channel for leeching zero-cost software. Here, Quest takes but doesn't give. Boo.

@kdtyler
You are wrong. They actually used the spirit of open source fully, which is taking publicly available code and modifying it for their internal use.
The whole point of open source "is to share the software so that other people can improve it and share it back" as you mentioned is not only wrong, but a very simple, no, almost childish view of open source. That is such a small small portion of it. Next you'll want to talk smack about Red Hat.
The idea of open source is to allow developers to share their innovations without the reprecussions that you see in commercial software. You can charge for it, you can change it how you will, but with the stipulation that if you can do it, then you have to allow a means for others to do it too. You can't take an open source program and then lock it down to be unmodifiable.
Open source also protects your product from being distributed by someone else that is making money off of it and not including you in the process.
Open source is about putting innovation first and everything else second. If someone doesn't want to distribute their awesome open-source project, that is their choice and right, under the GPL family of licensing.

I fixed FreeRDP so it supports token redirection in an NLB scenario. http://www.freerdp.com/.
FreeRDP will also get you Remote FX, NLA, TLS, and more. It is a 100% FOSS project, with an active development community (freenode, #freerdp).
If you have HP thin clients running Thin Pro (based on Debian), you can look here for instructions on installing it:
Hopefully Quest will support the FreeRDP project (with contributions, not internal mods and reselling) as rdesktop is pretty much dead, very behind FreeRDP, and the codebase is a mess.

There are 2 categories: beginner, and advanced. The beginner stream is for people who are actually learning Powershell for the first time. The advanced stream is for those who want to take their Powershell skills to the next level.

internal DNS/Internet wizard mistake
Not sure if I have things messed up but here is an issue that I am having.
I have my new sbs 2011 std server up and running for a while but I have one major issue remaining. Everything appears to be working great with the exception of the following.
Email works great to the sbs internally and externally. MX record is proper and no issues there. Example mail is @test.com (fake address) and mail.test.com works fine.
We have a public website that is hosted by a webhost that is www.test.com
Internal SBS domain is domain.local but the issue is internally sbs thinks it is test.com as well and users can not get to the public site of www.test.com as they are directed to the internal sbs IIS page.
I do have an Host(A) Record at our Public DNS provider and that works for remote access.
Is there anything I can do to resolve the issue of not being able to get to the public site from the internal sbs domain?

Many people working with App-V always have the same question.
Could it be sequenced ?
There are two entries at The App-V Blog that gives us a hint which softwaren can not be sequenced.
It would be simply great if Microsoft can provide the virtual community a list with already successful sequenced Microsoft products.

App-V is a great solution, but there (as always) some challenges which are very usefull to understand. Hopefully this presentation will give an overview and makes sense for you.

Hi Ruben,
thanks for the additional Information.
I think also, that App-V is a brilliant solution to virtualize software. In the last two and a half year I sequenced successful about 160 non Microsoft software packages.
I do not expect a software compatibility list per App-V for non Microsoft products – because it´s impossible.
But It would be helpful to have a clear conclusion from the vendor self, which of their own products can be virtualized.
Kind regards
Volker
PS: I would like to order a dozen packages from page 103 of your presentation

Reply:
While Microsoft could very well know (or then again, maybe not since there's been quite a few MS products during the course of history) which of their products can and can not be sequenced, I think it might be bit sensitive issue to publish such list (or possibly embarassing). So don't expect that anytime soon ;-)

Well, I can agree with the above statement. But instead I can post on what I had in place locally on my laptop due to customer requirements and harddrive space availability and have "successfully" sequenced wiht the 4.5 RC0 sequencer.
(yeah I am currently bored...)
Qlikview 8.2 - Analyzer only (don't have a license key - thats why ...)
PL SQL Dev 7.0.3
Solid Edge Viewer 19
Virtual Dimension
Foxit Reader
Acrobat Reader 9
Mind Manager Viewer 7
SAP 7.1 + bunch of patches + BI
HKSFV (still no context menus...?)
Hyperion BI 9i+ Administration Services (I think it is?) + jre 1.6 u7
Winrar works, but since the only way I access it is the right click menu I get on folders / files - whats the point?
Seriously, biggest "flaw" yet when it comes to SG. Just lika FTA the client should be able to manage those....
Currently I am left to scan the registry to "manually" insert the correct keys and reference my package. Thats UGLY! Its COMPLICATED and should really be involved in the monitoring process and possible to deploy!
DWG Trueview 2009 starts, but throughs up a bunch of errors. I see this as a deployment issue and not a virtualization issue. Really - why do the trueview application always has to be so hard?
Marval I sequenced. Don't know what that means or anything, but its a helpdesk-system...
Packbase 3.2
Ecolab (a cd-presentation, only works on XP - but sequenced it works on 2003 aswell
Essbase 6.5.7 and Essbase 9.3 Excel Plugin (9.3 has a multi-user environment issue - use scripting in SG to resolve this)
ViewCefip (really don't know what this is...) 2.0
Intrastat 2008 - not tested and I actually sequenced the server aswell... so i suppose to make any use of it I have to sequence "just" the client?
VMWare Virtual Infrastructure Client
Irfanview
7-zip
Visio Viewer 2007
All sequenced on Win XP SP2 and runs on Vista.
Currently awaiting media for some Oracle Forms stuff - that will be interesting.
So what do I mean by "successfull"? Will I haven't tested every single possibility on howto run or access the application, but only what I find useful in them. Some I just start, others I use myself in my daily work.
SG for me is really a great solution for Citrix. Its not so great, becoming better - but still lacking some potential, for the desktop.
Two things I would REALLY like to see;
Possibility to sequence SQL Express.
- This is used by so many applications as an offline replica of an existing database. The deployment of this is usually very ugly, hard, complex and takes loads of time.
Right-click menus
-That would add a really great benefit for the desktop. Drivers are currently impossible to virtualize - fine. But why can't my right click menus be handled just like the FTAs? Its sometimes THE way to access a application.

Has anyone had any success sequencing an Oracle ADI application? I started the monitor, ran the ADI install with 3 patches, added the env vars for Oracle_home and TNS_ADMIN, stopped the monitor so reboot function could occur, restarted the monitor and configured the db, stopped monitor and launched all applications. When the diagnostic wizard ran, it showed errors with the oracle_home not being defined. When I ran the ADI application, it ran fine and I had no problem logging on. At this point I finished the sequencer and moved the sequenced app to the content folder.
But when I launched the ADI application on a client, I got the message that the oracle_home variable is not set. (Note: the env vars for Oracle_home and TNS_ADMIN do show up in the osd file.
My next move was to editor the ADI osd file. I added following scripts:
<SCRIPT EVENT="LAUNCH" TIMING="PRE" PROTECT="TRUE" WAIT="TRUE" TIMEOUT="">
<SCRIPTBODY>cmd /c REG ADD HKCU\ENVIRONMENT /V TNS_ADMIN /T REG_EXPAND_SZ /D
"q:/orant/network/admin" /F</SCRIPTBODY></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT EVENT="LAUNCH" TIMING="PRE" PROTECT="TRUE" WAIT="TRUE" TIMEOUT="">
<SCRIPTBODY>cmd /c REG ADD HKCU\ENVIRONMENT /V ORACLE_HOME /T REG_EXPAND_SZ /D
"q:\orant" /F</SCRIPTBODY></SCRIPT>
Still no luck though. They ran when I lauched the ADI on a client, and the app opens, but when I click on the logon box
I get the message:
An Unexpected Error Has Occurred in ADI:
Routine: MAINGLDI: DoSignOn
Source: oraGLDI32
Message: Object variable or With block variable not set
Error Number: 91
I'm hoping someone can point out an error or give me some ideas on what to try next.

It is sequenced without any special tricks. Just install to Q. I also have Excel 2003 in the same package. Don't know if it would work if Excel was installed locally.
We have used it for a couple of weeks, and it seems to be working. I am still not 100% sure yet that all features are working correctly.
Anyway, the issues we have had so far have been fixed with these simple steps:
Excel 2003
1. Under Tools -> Macro -> Security, select the Security Level tab, and choose Low (?).
2. Under Tools -> Macro -> Security, select the Trusted Publishers/Sources tab, and make sure Trust Visual Basic Project is checked.
3. OK
Excel 2007
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button in the upper left hand corner, and then click Excel Options.
2. Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click Macro Settings.
3. Check the:
- Disable all macros with notification: This will allow you to choose to Enable Macros for ADI templates.
- Trust access to the VBA project object model. Turn on access by selecting the check box.
4. Click OK to save settings.

I think you better start a new thread for MindManager.
But to answer your question; I've sequenced MindManager 8, but I requested a licence file to activate offline in the sequencer.
