How to avoid going back to w7 or w8.1 to get upgrade once RTM is out (in case it was installed clean on pc). Possible solution?
So Gabe Aul explained if you are not an insider or if you step back from the program and you installed W10 nuking your w7 / w8 installation you will have to reinstall those to get upgraded to W10, if not eventually the build will expire.
That's bad news. It should have been possible to just insert the w8 or w7 key and get activated.
Anyway if you check a PC that was UPGRADED from W8 to W10 technical preview the "internet explorer" key shown by the Key retrieval program "produkey" it seems to be the W8 original key and the w10 is the one from the technical preview.
In a pc that was not upgraded but clean installed that key (the explorer one) and the W10 one are the same.
So, couldn't we just get an app from Microsoft or a third party that enables changing the "explorer" key to our W8 or W7 key so to avoid reinstalling the old OSes and then upgrading???
Check this picture showing explorer key and w10 key being different in an upgraded machine.

The more they tried to "clarify" and Gabriel Aul has done that 3 times, the more people are confused.
Bottom line:
As long as you have installed the Insider preview (aka Win 10 Technical preview) over your Win 7 or Win 8.1, you are automatically entitled to a free Win 10 RTM upgrade.
You do NOT have to rollback to Win 7 or Win 8.1.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Excerpt from the latest "clarification"
The crux of it is this:
- Do you want to continue as a Windows Insider and keep getting preview builds after 7/29?
- Or do you want to upgrade your Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 system that has been getting Windows 10 Insider Preview builds to the 7/29 release and stop being an Insider?
"I want to opt out of the Windows Insider Program on 7/29." If you decide to opt-out of the program and upgrade to the 7/29 build you will be subject to exactly the same terms and conditions that govern the offer* that was extended to all Genuine Windows 7 and 8.1 customers. This is not a path to attain a license for Windows XP or Windows Vista systems. If your system upgraded from a Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 license it will remain activated, but if not, you will be required to roll back to your previous OS version or acquire a new Windows 10 license. If you do not roll back or acquire a new license the build will eventually expire.

Exactly, if you formatted your machine and performed a clean install of W10 you will have to go back to w7 or w8 and install as upgrade.
You are right.
I overlooked the " nuking your w7 / w8 installation " statement.
I am not entirely well versed to lingo. English is not my first language.
My apology.

You can, if you want, remain as Insider Preview user and continue to receive new builds after July 29th.
Please read :"I want to continue as a Windows Insider!"

Chriz74,
Well, I should agree with that.
If we are not insiders by now, the free upgrade is available for us and assume we didn't upgrade to the preview, so we could upgrade on 29th July. Then the issue here is much clear to us, keep the current operating system and don't do the upgrade until RTM is released.
If we upgraded to the Insider Preview, make sure your Microsoft Account (which joined the insider program) is alive, then on 29th July, RTM should be delivered and Windows should stay activated, then clean install should be available.
For the other possibilities, I can't say if it would work, but at least currently we have choices to choose.

Chriz74,
I mean currently regarding Windows 10 upgrade, we have at least two choices.
To your concern, there might be some issues that won't make things to go where we expected to, and as it is unsure, which should be the part that we need to avoid.
Not all things would go without any issues. What we could do is to offer suggestions regarding the troubles, if really encountered.

Update managed metadata with Nintex Workflow for O365 via SharePoint REST api
As a little 'evening project' I've done some research on how to update Managed Metadata with Nintex Workflow for Office 365.
There is no pre-defined action in Nintex Workflow O365 that does this.
I've set a constraint for myself to do this with the SharePoint 2013 REST API, because the SharePoint SOAP Webservices are deprecated.
There is a lot of information on the internet that describes part of the solution, but no overall practical guide (or at least I didn't find it).
That's why I wanted to share the following practical description with the community:
There are just 4 steps you need to follow:
STEP 1: Add a 'Build Dictionary' action to your workflow
Configure this action as follows:
STEP 2: Add a Call HTTP-webservice Action
Configure this action as follows:
STEP 3: Add a Get an Item from a Dictionary Action
Configure this action as follows:
STEP 4: Add a Web Request action
Configure this action as follows:
Of course there are some improvements to make:
for instance: you should determine the type of your item, not just enter SP.ListItem
I hope it's useful for someone and I'm open to any feedback/additions/corrections

I have idea for the new search menu
Hi, I have an idea for a new search menu in Windows 10. Would it not be better if you do it :
Search the website and Windows or Search the internet and Windows ..
The other proposal:
Search the web and WIN
Search the web pages and my Windows
Search the net and Windows
This much I like most : Search the websites and Windows
Regards Serafim

After installing SCOM R2 UR6 - Agents failover is not happening
Hi Team,
very recently we upgraded our environment from SCOM 2012 R2 UR 5 to UR 6.
we have 4 MS servers MS1, MS2, MS3 & MS4
MS1 is our RMS with out any agnets
MS2 has 500 agents
MS3 has 500 agents
MS 4 is just kept as a standby
MS2 fail over to MS1, MS3, & MS4
MS3 fail over to MS1, MS2, & MS4
All 4 MS servers are in notification resource pool & All Management Servers Resource Pool.
what we are observing is when we restart any MS server we are getting heartbeat alerts and in the events we see 20022, with in no time all the alerts are closed again.
almost 1000+ emails which is a huge noise.
not sure what is happening and where we went wrong and we are struck... Please suggest.

Hi Raj,
Depending in your requirements you can play with heartbeat intervals and number if missed heartbeats:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/hh212798.aspx
Check current failover management servers on your agents, correct if needed. Some posts to follow up with:

ArrayNetwork SSL VPN and may be other VPN products also broken with this build along with RSAT tool. The two particular issues essential kick out all system administrators out there, who thought that they could use the preview builds so that early adaption can be pushed. Seems Microsoft not even considering the core users who would be real pusher

Build 10130 gives the following problems on my tablet (ACER w510):
- Explorer crashes on shutdown (like http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_perf/explorer-crashes-on-shutdown-build-10122/0fa48d21-9b59-41da-b67e-1df274481cd7)
- No PIN login (forum issue 3)
- Insider hub app starts and then simply disappears 100% of the time
- Spartan browser starts and then simply disappears ~40% of the time
- (known issue 2) In some cases, flyouts from the Taskbar (including Start, Cortana, Network, Battery, and Action Center) fail to fly out. This is a transient issue, and after retrying a few times it will succeed.
- lots of windows 8 apps when started will start and simply disappear in windowed mode. When switching the tablet to tablet mode (full-screen) this issue does not occur
All in all, I'm a lot less happy about this build than I was with 10122.

I've got the 10130 build running on a Mac partition. Everything seems to be working fine here EXCEPT the sound. When I install the sound drivers that Bootcamp gives, it doesn't change anything. All the other drivers seem to be working alright, it just says that there is no audio device installed.
I can't figure out for the life of me how to get the sound working on this thing.
HOWEVER! I see many other people with this same exact problem and I can offer my own brand of solution; Something that works for me.
I did get the Bluetooth working on this build, and now I can just pair the CPU onto an external Bluetooth friendly speaker and now I have audio again.
So if you have build 10130 and don't have sound, try connecting to a Bluetooth speaker (the audio jack on the cpu doesn't work either btw).
It still would be nice to get the right drivers installed though.

Multi-site Failover Clustering
I have setup Failover Cluster Instance on 2 nodes with Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 running on a SAN storage with "Node and Disk based Quorum", DTC and public and Private IP communication.
Now I want to setup multi-subnet cluster by adding another two nodes and a SAN storage from different subnet.
I have following questions in mind for which I am looking for your expert help:-
- Do we need to enable communication between public IP of site1 servers and public IP of site2 servers and how?
- How our existing cluster in site1 can be stretched up-to site2 so that DC2 will also have Active-Passive architecture when failover to site2?
- How the Quorum will work in Node and Disk Majority mode in site2?
- How the Private IP communication will work when SQL Server 2012 Cluster failover to site2?
- What are the components we will replicate from site1 to site2 using SAN replication? Will quorum will also get replicated or we should exclude quorum from replication?
I am new in multi-subnet cluster setup and looking for your urgent help for my setup.

Hi Sam:
You have posted in a forum dedicated to Microsoft Small Business Server. I am sure that there are some folks here who can help, but I think you will get better/more responses in a forum dedicated to Fail Over Clustering. We could move this question to some other forum but would rather you reposted in a forum of your choosing.

Error 0xC0000142
Hi, since I updated windows technical preview to build 10130, when I want to start "The binding of Isaac : Rebirth" I got this error message : "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application."
What can I do please ?
KB3068708 - Secure Website - Expired Certificate - IE "Page cannot be displayed"
FYI (grain of salt, perhaps?)
After installing June 2015 Windows update KB3068708: "Update for customer experience and diagnostic telemetry" it may no longer be possible to visit a secure website (HTTPS) with an expired certificate using Internet Explorer. You may receive the message "Page cannot be displayed" in IE 11 (or similar for earlier versions). Google Chrome has a similar feature that may return "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" when hitting an expired certificate.
Installing update KB3068708 requires a reboot to kick in, and also requires a reboot when uninstalling (though the update does not indicate this). This issue will more likely affect enterprise users than home users. That is, enterprises may not be on top of website certificate renewals or see no issue if a client connects to an internal system with an expired certificate.
FYI

fbl_impressive Enterprise 10130 stuck while downloading at xx%
Hi All,
Just wanted to share a fix I used when my computer got stuck downloading fbl_impressive Enterprise 10130.
The automatic procedure had already to download in the background but never managed to re-start and was stuck @ 91%
No cancel option exists (at the time of writing) so as a workaround I did I followed the guide here http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058/ the section about Manual reset.
- Open an "Command Prompt (Admin)" (use Win+X or right click start logo)
- Next we need to Stop the BITS service, the Windows Update service, and the Cryptographic service. To do this, at a command prompt, type the following commands. Make sure that you press Enter after you type each command.
- net stop bits
- net stop wuauserv
- net stop appidsvc <--- resulted in
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.- net stop cryptsvc
- Delete the qmgr*.dat files. To do this, at a command prompt, type the following command, and then press Enter: Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"
- Closed Command Prompt and retry Windows Update from Settings
Hope this can help others if in the same situation.
What did you break today ? on second thoughts don't tell me, let me guess.
Reply:
C:\ProgramData\APPLIC~1\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr0.dat
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Developer help - Paid
Hi
Im not sure if this is the best place to try and get paid help from a database developer but seeing as you are all what we are looking for, i thought i would try. FYI, im tired of posting on Elance getting unrealistically cheap prices from developers who cannot develop in SQL server and post prices just to get the work. its not what we are looking for.....
We need a database developer to help create an online database for an application we have developed. We are looking at a few options which are Azure, Cloud based server with SQL Server or our own On-Prem server with SQL server.
If you are interested, please reply and pm me with your contact details. I will then provide a more detailed description. You will need to sign a NDA and we will be working with dummy data to start with. You will raise a weekly invoice on Mondays and it will be paid on Fridays into your bank. I already have a structure and the application already exisits albeit, it doesnt currently use SQL server.
Many thanks
Nacho

Struggling to resize the boot partition on Windows Server 2012 - because of an unmovable restore point?!
I've been trawling all over the web for this, and I can't seem to find an answer that fits.
Scenario: I have Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, and the main boot disk is 256GB SSD. I'm wanting to shrink the C: down to fit on a 128GB SSD that I have, so I can re-purpose the 256GB.
When I go to resize using Disk Management, I'm told I can only claim back 20MB or so - even though there is nearly 200GB free on the drive.
Research has led me down the path of "unmovable files" and, sure enough, when I check the Event Log, I get the following error:
A volume shrink analysis was initiated on volume (C:). This event log entry details information about the last unmovable file that could limit the maximum number of reclaimable bytes. Diagnostic details: - The last unmovable file appears to be: \System Volume Information\{7a4ba86b-1905-11e5-80ca-3cd92b0cfc4c}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}::$DATA - The last cluster of the file is: 0x33083e3 - Shrink potential target (LCN address): 0x897a29 - The NTFS file flags are: ---AD - Shrink phase: <analysis> To find more details about this file please use the "fsutil volume querycluster \\?\Volume{783291e9-5068-11e4-80b1-806e6f6e6963} 0x33083e3" command. Now, as best I can tell, from running that fsutil command (which returns Cluster 0x00000000033083e3 used by ---AD \System Volume Information\{7a4ba86b-1905-11e5-80ca-3cd92b0cfc4c}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}::$DATA) and general searching, that seems to be an unmovable file caused by System Restore Points - at least on Windows 7 or 8 it is.
But there is no such thing on Windows Server 2012, so I can't figure out how to turn it off.
I have turned off Windows Server Backup, but that hasn't helped.
Help me internets, you're my only hope! ;)
Reply:
Okay - I have figured it out!
You need to disable Shadow Copies for C:.
Go to Disk Management, right-click on C:, go to Shadow Copies, and then select C:\
from the list and choose Disable.
That should do it! :)

"Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" on Windows 10 not working with midiOutOpen
Hi,
due to an advice that was given to move the discussion to the tech side of Microsoft, I would like to bring up a serious problem of the MIDI interface on Windows 10.
- "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" on Windows 10 not working with midiOutOpen
(see
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/midi-input-via-the-win32-function-midiinopen-is/a2186703-390a-48c6-b32a-3097d27f17ce?page=3&rtAction=1434618944787)
- Midi input ia the Win32 function "MidiInOpen" is extreme slow so that is useless
(see
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/midi-input-via-the-win32-function-midiinopen-is/a2186703-390a-48c6-b32a-3097d27f17ce?page=1)
I hope bringing it up here helps to get more clarity and to get the problem resolved asap which have been reported since Dec. 2nd, 2014 and April, 13 2015 respectively.

In order to demontrate the issue I have created a little code snipset (same as what Notation Softare uses) in a little app to demonstrate the problem with midiOutOpen. Please download the app (Test_Midi_Ports.exe). The cpp code snipset is in file
..\Test_if_MIDI_Ports_work.zip\Test_Midi_Ports\Test_Midi_PortsTest_Midi_Ports.cpp
You can also find the according VS2010 project file from here.
http://www.notation.com/download/Test_MIDI_Ports/Test_if_MIDI_Ports_work.zip
The "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" can be perfectly opened on Windows XP, 7, 8.1. But on Windows 10 you will see the issue that midiOutOpen brings the UNEXPECTED ERROR 1.
I have created the same app with VC6 and/or the MFC libraries. The results are the same.
It would be helpful if someone could check this app on his Windows environment and confirms my observations (and/or tell me what might be wrong in that code snipset).
Thanks
Reinhold

Thanks. Exactly what I see on my Windows PCs.
It demontrates the problem of midiOutOpen on Windows 10 with Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth.
The code snipset is so simple. I hope that now finally somebody from Microsoft take over responsibility and checks why there is a problem in Windows 10.
It is really annoying because I have reported the problem and delivered exactly the same code snipset on Dec. 2nd, 2014.

More testing: I translated the MidiOutOpen-test program of Reinhold to Pascal. Compiled with
Delphi, Delphi-XE and Lazarus. Compiled for both console and window. All six programs give the same result on WIN8 as Reinholds original program.
On WIN10 however the results are different. The problem is opening "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth". In most cases (and all my console application programs) returns "unspecified error" (1).
In some cases running the window applications the Midi Device works (one or two times, then fails).
It makes no sense - there is no consistence in the results. This made me make some wrong conclusions. For example I thought that it worked after upgrade - but I had installed Timidity and Coolsofts Virtual Midi Synth Configurator. With Virtual Symth + the soundfont FluidR3_GM.sf2 it sounded great and I was happy for a short time.
It would be quite easy for Microsoft to solve the problem: Let Coolsoft do it - add it as a program in the Control Panel called "Soundfont Installer".
Kind regards
Mogens
PS: The Lazarus window version even reports wrong number of Midi devices (if > 1). Lazarus is 64 bit and my program runs double as fast - I like that. If anybody could compile Reinholds original C++-program to 64 bit and test on WIN10 with CoolSoft Midi Synth Konfigurator, I would be glad.

I tested all Pascal programs from Mogens on my Windows PCs as well.
The result in a nutshell:
Windows 7, 8.1 work fine
BUT
Windows 10 shows consistantly "unspecified error =1" when opening Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth
Again, here's the demo code can be downloaded to demontrate the bug

In the Windows 10 Insider Preview category in the TechNet Forums there are 4 forums (currently):
- Windows 10 Phone Technical Preview General (Phone builds only)
- Windows 10 Insider Preview General (PC builds)
- Windows 10 Insider Preview Setup and Installation (PC builds)
- Windows 10 Insider Preview Feedback (PC builds)
I have already moved the thread from Windows 10 Phone Technical Preview General to Windows 10 Insider Preview General, so it should be in the right place now.

Current status:
I have converted the test program to Pascal and compiled with three compilers (Delphi, Delphi-Xe and
Lazarus). I have also compiled as console-program and window-program. This makes six programs.
All of them work on WIN8. None the the console-programs work on WIN10 - all returns "unspecified error" with "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth". The window versions work one or two times - i.e. does not work either. But in some cases MMSYSERR_NOERROR is returned.
Working with MidiAndMusicXmlPlayer I found an old program that worked with Delphi-Xe, reentered changes carefully and discovered surprisingly that it worked also for Lazarus.
Still the Windows Media Player does not work (if no additional synth is installed). Is it impossible to get Microsoft to tell us what "unspecified error" is? Some condition must cause this error message.
I am still worried
Kind regards

Gadgets For Windows 8.1 Pro
To Whom Can Answer:
Ok...I know of an vulnerable exploit was discovered in windows 7 with regards to Gadgets and or Sidebars enabled on there systems but, I've come to like them and was wondering if there was a safer Gadgetsfor lack of better term has/had been made available for Windows 8.1 Pro or setup I could use to make use of them once again?
Reply:
There are multiple places you can download gadgets and sidebars for Windows, this is one example.
Whether they are safe or not is not something I can't speak for. Windows discontinued them for vulnerability reasons, adding them back via third party could open you up to some of the same, if not different vulnerabilities.
A quick google search for gadgets and sidebars for Windows 8.1 will come back with multiple websites. It's really up to you if you want to take the risk.
