fetch drop down list field from Sharepoint list...

i am having one form (consisting of 3 text boxes and one drop down list)

i want to store all the content in List in Sharepoint 2010.......and the drop down list be populated from the values in

another list.....

how can we achieve that?

Reply:

Hi,

When we want to set another list as source of drop down, you can do as lookup value for drop down. Once we set lookup field, there will be list of existing List in site and we can set any one as source for drop down. Moreover we have choice for setting display field in drop down.

hope this will help you.

Thanks and Regards, Shailesh B. Davara

What should i do if i have to select state for respective countries (2 drop down list side by side)

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

Hi,

I have created the two list for that 1)Country , 2) State

State list have lookup column from Country list

to bind the dropdown of state with you need to use the caml query for the select countries

in my .ascx file i have used the below code

Country: <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"   	onselectedindexchanged="ddlCountry_SelectedIndexChanged">  </asp:DropDownList>  State :<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlState" runat="server">  </asp:DropDownList>

in my code behind in page load event i am binding the Country dropdown

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  		{  			if (!IsPostBack)  				BindCountryDropDown();  }

public void BindCountryDropDown()  		{  			using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))  			{  				using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())  				{  					SPList list = web.Lists["Country"];  					DataTable dt = list.Items.GetDataTable();  					ddlCountry.DataSource = dt;  					ddlCountry.DataTextField = "Title";  					ddlCountry.DataValueField = "Title";  					ddlCountry.DataBind();  				}  			}  		}

I have enabled auto post back true for the country dropdown so when i will change the dropdown value for the country the in another state dropdown value will get accordingly for the specified country

protected void ddlCountry_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)  		{  			BindStateFromCountry(ddlCountry.SelectedValue);  		}  		public void BindStateFromCountry(string Country)  		{  			DataTable dtResult = new DataTable();  			SPQuery query = new SPQuery();  			SPList listState = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["State"];  			string strQuery = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='StateOfCountry' /><Value Type='Text'>" + Country+ "</Value></Eq></Where>";  			query.Query = strQuery;  			dtResult = listState.GetItems(query).GetDataTable();  			ddlState.DataSource = dtResult;  			ddlState.DataTextField = "Title";  			ddlState.DataValueField = "Title";  			ddlState.DataBind();  		}

Hiren,

Your solution is close to what I am looking for but bit different as below:

I am creating a custom solution on SharePoint 2013 on-premise using Visual Studio 2012. I have a custom list called Postings. This list have 2 fields - Title (single line of text) and URL (hyperlink).
I have a drop-down list control which gets auto populated from "Title". I have a button next to this drop-down control. Based upon the selection in drop down list control, the new URL should open up when button is clicked. Basically, when a user selects an entry in drop down list control and click the button, the URL corresponding to that selected entry should open up in new tab.
I have the drop-down list auto-populated and working fine. I need to know how to open up corresponding URL based upon selection from drop down list.

Any idea on how to accomplish this

Thanks Snehal H.Rana SharePoint Consultant

WHY AM I PROMPTED FOR A Permissions error when installing AD LDS with Network Service account - HELP!!!!!

After installing Windows Server 2012 R2 with updates and logging in with the administrator account.

The AD LDS role was installed with all features via the Windows Add roles and features Server Manager snap-in.

Once completed we created the LDS instance with default ports, and default installation paths selected. The Network Service account was selected and the default local administrator account was used under LDS. The MS-User.ldf was imported.

For some strange reason the install wizard then asks for a user name and password for the NETWORK SERVICE account. This is strange as the Network Service should not prompt for a password.

LDS Error event logs include 1161, 2886, 1463, 614

Warning 614 instance1 (700). Database 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\instance1\data\adamntds.dit'; The secondary index 'INDEX_0002000D' of table 'database' may be corrupt. If there is no later event showing the index being rebuilt, then please defragment the database to rebuild the index.

Warning 1463 - Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service has detected and deleted some possibly corrupted indices as part of the initialization.

Can you please assist? This is a new (vanilla) server build with nothing else installed.

This OS build is working on our other systems and we can deploy LDS without problem using the above documented process.

Robocopy /MT forcing /E even when you specify /S

Hi all. I'm using Robocopy in Win7 SP1. I'm migrating some PST files from one server to another. I do not want to create empty folders. It works perfectly via this command:

robocopy w:\ v:\ "*.pst*" /b /s /copyall /r:5 /w:10 /v /log:e:\robolog.txt

It behaves as it's supposed to by copying only the .pst files and not creating any empty folders where there are no PSTs. For example, let's say I have the following folder structure:

W:\ (root)

W:\folder1 <- has a PST file

w:\folder2 <- does NOT have a PST file

When issuing the command above, my destination ends up with Folder1 with the PST file and NOT Folder2, which had no pst files. Now, to speed things up, I'll throw in /MT:12 to run 12 threads:

robocopy w:\ v:\ "*.pst*" /mt:12 /b /s /copyall /r:5 /w:10 /v /log:e:\robolog.txt

It performs the file copies, but it creates all empty folders on the destination as if I had specified the /E switch instead of the /S switch. I am able to reproduce this on several machines and cannot figure out what's wrong. It's as if /MT forces /E. Is this by design or is there a way to get around this? Thanks!

Hi,

I have tested the situation you mentioned, it seems this is by design to force robocopy /E when using robocopy /MT, I have the same result with you.

I will forward this information to the appropriate department through our internal channel. Both the Microsoft Product Team and Development Team will take into consideration all suggestions and feedback for future releases.

I've just tried this, and it works correctly for me.

I created a folder on my desktop, and then created 2 sub-folders within that folder. In each of these folders, I created a new text document and then edited each document to contain some random text. I then renamed one of these documents, giving it the suffix .pst instead of the normal .txt to simulate the file conditions you have (i.e. 2 folders, one containing a file of type .pst and one containing a file of another type).

In an elevated command prompt, I then entered the following:

robocopy "c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\test" "c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\test1" "*.pst" /b /s /copyall /r:5 /w:10 /v /log:c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\rc1.txt

and

robocopy "c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\test" "c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\test2" "*.pst" /mt:12 /b /s /copyall /r:5 /w:10 /v /log:c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\rc2.txt

In both cases, the command executed correctly and again in both cases only the folder (and file within) containing the file with the specified extension, .pst, was copied. The other folder was not copied at all.

Now, to simulate copying the data to a separate machine, I shall substitute my external drive as the destination, everything else remaining the same:

robocopy "c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\test" "j:\test1" "*.pst" /b /s /copyall /r:5 /w:10 /v /log:c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\rc3.txt

and

robocopy "c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\test" "j:\test2" "*.pst" /mt:12 /b /s /copyall /r:5 /w:10 /v /log:c:\users\<UserName>\desktop\rc4.txt

Again, in both cases, only the folder (and file within) containing the file with the specified extension, .pst, was copied. The other folder was not copied at all.

I then added a 3rd sub-folder to my source test folder. This time, I deliberately left it as an empty folder. I then repeated all of the above commands. Again, in all cases, only the folder (and file within) containing the file with the specified extension, .pst, was copied. The other folders were not copied at all.

Any progress on this issue? I'm still seeing the problem on Win 7 SP1, Robocopy.exe version 5.1.10.1027.

If you use the /maxage switch along with /mt, then /s doesn't work. You get a copy of every folder in the destination, even if it only contains old files, as if you had used the /e switch.

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

Thank you for highlighting this - had me stumped as to why /S was doing /E!

I suspect its by design because the threads overlap and although one thread may not have anything for the folder, another thread might so it creates it just in case. I also notice that the /MT option stops the logging showing on-screen so it appears to freeze. Given these points, I am just going to ditch /MT !

Probably not the response you were hoping for but thank you at least.

Intune iOS Wipe

Hi All,

We are busy implementing a standalone Microsoft Intune solution for a major client.

What I have experienced.

I have set the number of failed repeated sign-ins to 5, after the 4th and 5th the device automatically is wiped.

My questions is, is there a warning, popup or notification that I can configure to inform the user that the IOS device will be wiped if another login attempt has failed?

Thanks in advance

Reply:

Hi,

Now sorry, I believe that it is an iOS limitation and not possible to display a warning in that scenario.

Regards,
Jörgen

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

To prevent accidental wipe you could configure more than 6 unsuccessful attempts for iOS devices.

If user enters the wrong passcode into an iOS device six times in a row, he'll be locked out. He will also see a message that says your device is disabled, try again in X minute(s). After the sixth incorrect passcode users iPhone will be disabled for one minute. For example after 9 failed passcode attempts iPhone will be disabled for 60 minutes (total waiting time will be 81 minutes).

So I think (in most cases) in this lockout period user will contact IT group to initiate passcode reset.

The problem I have is that sometimes the secure store fails and no item is returned from the BCS and the Properties which used to have some values before the User Profile Sync are now set to blank. Is this an expected behavior?

The updates may update a DLL, .exe file, a device driver, registry entries that are read only when you start your computer. They couldn`t be updated if they are running.

Here is a link for reference, we can take the suggestions included in the link to reduce the chances to restart the machine.

IIS Redirecting Incorrectly!

Hello! I seem to be having redirect issues or something when I click links on my website on the same 3 links 'Home', 'Forum' and 'Blog'.. I have attached a screenshot of what it does and as you can see in the web address bar, it seems to duplicate my domain web address. The only thing I have set up for redirects is the Canonical Domain in URL Rewrite and no other redirect options enabled. Any ideas on what the problem is?

Web Application Proxy (ADFS Proxy) Intranet / Extranet detection for SSO (and save password checkbox)

Hi!

I have the following network config: INTERNAL <-> DMZ <-> INTERNET

I have my DC and my ADFS 3.0 Server in the INTERNAL zone. I have my WAP (ADFS Proxy) in the DMZ zone.
my ADFS server has a public fqdn. I have on the WAP server a hostfile with the public fqdn pointing to the ADFS server and servers to be published.

On my firewall I have configured a port forwarding rule for https to the WAP server for all required fqdn's.

No matter from which zone I access the WAP published applications I always get to logon via FBA entering username/password. Single Signon by putting the required fqdns in the intranet zone in Internet Explorer also does not work.

I narrowed it down to that I'm Always considered a Extranet user (I can confirm this because when I deselect all checkboxes for Intranet authentication methods in the Global Authentication Policy I still get the forms authentication and when I switch authentication mode from Form to Certificate on Extranet I have to login via Certificate).

How can I make sure that when I am a internal user i get SSO? Any help is greatly appreciated since I'm in a SharePoint migration.

Another question: is the 'Stay Logged in' checkbox which is present on the Microsoft Office365 federation services available in ADFS 3.0? And if so how do I enable it?

SharePoint 2010 Search Property "write"

I was looking for info on SearchProperty "write" which acts like a ModifiedDate, I am little confused how it works actually, I googled but didnt find much info.

So if you can help with this,

Is it a crawled property or managed...?

If its a crawled then how it works behind the scene ie how we are able to use it to filter data based on this property while doing a search query. Also can we create other crawled properties to have same behaviour

Also why doesnt it show up in Search Administration > Managed Properties section

Any other insight would be great. Thanks!!

Reply:

It is a managed property.

You can find it under the FAST Query Search Service Application --> FAST Search Administration page --> Managed Properties.

You will see the below text on top of the page:

"Crawled properties are automatically extracted from crawled content. Users can perform queries over managed properties. Use this page to create and modify managed properties and map crawled properties to managed properties. Changes to properties will take effect after documents are reprocessed or after the next full crawl. "

When you search for "Write" you will find all the crawled properties that are automatically mapped to this Managed Property. My understanding is that this is a built-in SharePoint FAST Managed Property that has the "lastmodifiedtime".

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff464344(v=office.14).aspx - Here the Write property is mentioned.

You can created your own managed property and map it to the same to crawled properties or different ones as you like. It may have the same behavior as to the date, but I think in the Core Results WebPart, the hours and minutes are removed when you display "Write" property.

Here is a link to Crawled Properties - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh134087.aspx

Hope this gets you started on understanding the Write Property.

Reply:

Thanks CJ for the detailed info.

But This property works in Enterprise search service Application as well but not visible under Managed Properties section as it is visible under FAST Search Administration

Any idea why it is hidden in Enterprise Search

Also any thought if for a crawled property we change the value of 'Included in Index' from Yes to No, and do a full crawl, will that reduce the index size.

Edited by Ankit G Wednesday, June 17, 2015 3:08 PM

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

My understanding with regard to the Write property is that it is a FAST Managed Property. And I am guessing you have FAST Search Server 2010 installed and using Enterprise Search Center Page when you say "This property works in Enterprise Search Service Application". When you look at CA-->Configure Service Applications Associations do you see the "FAST SSA" in the Application proxies for your Web APP or just your Enterprise Search Service App alone? I am assuming you are seeing the inbuilt FAST property values on the enterprise search center.

Also you will notice "LastModifiedTime" under Enterprise Search Metadata properties mapped to the same SharePoint crawled properties as Write (ows_modified).

People Search does not go through FS4SP but instead uses the built-in SharePoint Search. All queries other than People Search are sent to FAST Search if it is installed. The Metadata properties under Queries and Results are all related to People Search. This is why you see the SharePoint Search, FAST Query Search Service Applications and FAST Content Search Service Applications.

As for your question on removing a Crawled property from being "Included in the Index" - This will remove the property from the search index. I am not sure if that will reduce the index size. This is a good article on estimating capacity requirements - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750251(v=office.14).aspx

If you want people to write code for you, it certainly helps if you include

1) CREATE TABLE statements for your table(s)
2) INSERT statements with sample data.
3) The desired result given the sample.
4) A short description of the business rules.
5) Which version of SQL Server you are using.

Yes, there is code we can look at, but that only barely addresses point 4 - an explanation in English helps. And we need the test data anyway. If you want a tested solution, that is.

Troubleshooting application deployment issues - Tips

Hello everyone,

Over the course of the last couple of months we have been able to identify some typical problems that you might see when you deploy applications. If you experience any of the following problems, check these recommended troubleshooting steps and information.

Problem 1 – application download failures:

Client stuck downloading an application
Client failed to download application
Client stuck at 0% while downloading software

Possible solutions and troubleshooting information:

Missing or misconfigured boundaries and boundary groups: If the client is on the intranet and is not configured for Internet-only client management, the client's network location must be in a configured boundary and there must be a boundary group assigned to this boundary for the client to be able to download content. For more information about boundaries and boundary group, see the following TechNet information. Planning for Boundaries and Boundary Groups: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712679.aspx. Configuring Boundaries and Boundary Groups: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427326.aspx
Content might not be distributed to the distribution points yet, which is why it is not available for clients to download. Use the in-console monitoring facilities to monitor content distribution to the distribution points. For more information about monitoring content, see the following blog post: http://blogs.technet.com/b/inside_osd/archive/2011/04/06/configuration-manager-2012-content-monitoring-and-validation.aspx

Problem 2 - application deployment compliance stuck at 0%

Possible solution and troubleshooting information:

When compliance is 0%, check for the following deployment status for the application in the Monitoring workspace, Deployments node:
- "In progress": The client could be stuck downloading content. Check problem 1, above.
- "Error": For more information about this status, see the following blog post: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/03/23/tips-and-tricks-how-to-take-action-on-assets-that-report-a-failed-deployment-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx
- "Unknown": This implies that the client has not received policy. Try manually initiating client policy and if this does not work, use client status to help verify client functionality. For more information, see the following TechNet information: Initiate Policy Retrieval for a Configuration Manager Client: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712288.aspx#BKMK_PolicyRetrieval Monitoring the Status of Client Computers in Configuration Manager: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682132.aspx#BKMK_ClientHealth

Installing Agent on Hyper-V 2012 Hosts with SCVMM 2012 SP1. . A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run.

I have two Server 2012 Hosts in a cluster. All machines are part of the same trusted domain. If i try to install the agent to either host i get the same error message :

Product: Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Agent (x64) -- Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action GetAllIPAddresses, entry: GetAllIPAddresses

I have tried pushing the agent from SCVMM 2012SP1, I have tried browsing from each host to the agents directory on the SCVMM 2012SP1 server and running it. I have tried running the setup from the SCVMM 2012 Sp1 media and i have tried logging in as the local "administrator" account on each host rather than the domain admin and get the same error.

The SCVMM2012 SP1 machine is a guest on one of the effected hosts. The hosts are running the full version of 2012 (not core) and have been fully patched.

The relevent part of the log file has the following

Looks like there may be a problem with the configuration on your hosts... possibly relating to Windows Installer. Take a look at this blog here (may give you a starting point). I know it's not the exact issue, but I think the underlying cause may be similar. There is a registry key in the bottom of the article to check on.

Lync Polycom Audio conferencing

Hi Team,

We dont use enterprise voice and only Lync calls and conferencing.

I have integrated Lync with polycom soudnstation duo and able to make SIP calls and issues

I am not sure as how to join a conferencing meeting from the phone. Please help me with the procedure as how to join a conferencing on a SIP phone.

Thanks

Reply:

The Polycom Soundstation DUO is not supported for Lync. You have to use a Polycom VVX device with the UC Software or a Polycom CX500/600/3000.

Or you implement a SIP Gateway to connect the Soundstation and convert the SIP traffic to Lync.

Reply:

I am pretty sure that problem is in configuration of virtual switch, or that integration tools from host are not applicable. Preferably install W 10 preview directly in physical machine.

Remember that W 10 is not complete yet and you may encounter various errors. Report your findings in connect.microsoft.com

Me too. But I think the problem is due to a W8.1.2 update because I had W10 10122 working before that.

So, I would agree with Milos; in my case I think something is broken on the host side and I'm not getting anywhere with the troubleshooters. I'm certainly getting an education on Hyper-V and networking though. ; )

Do you have your Homegroup connected to your VM? FWIW I have been able to install stuff in it that way. So presumably you could get your updates done offline like that. I haven't gone that route yet because I am focused on trying to identify and fix the breakage. If I'm successful at that I anticipate getting back to normal via Windows Update.

Direct Access vs Stand Alone (prefab) box vs VPN

Our company has been using VPN for many years and I'm in need of upgrading the FW that we have because of the problems with the old client not working correctly on the newer OS. I have 15 users, but only 5-6 would be online at the same time on any given day.

I have been pricing out stand alone, prefab boxes (such as a Barracuda) vs getting a stand alone 2012 server. I've also thought about buying a new FW so I could get an upgraded client.

1) The features of Direct Access really are the best. No need for a client install. Seamless. So a prefab box is nice but the costs are high. Some require a yearly fee to include upgrades and replacements.

2) I could do a Direct Access 2012 server. I can get a new Dell server for the same price as the standalone (Barracuda) for the same price and no need for extra costs

3) A new FW most likely would not give me Direct Access , at least I haven't found one in my price range. The new VPN client would be the only reason I needed this option. It is also a cheaper option to #1.

So I'd like to get some feedback on the experiences of others. I really prefer the MS Direct Access and I have a budget of $1200.

Windows 10 TechPrev Bug: Files use Data Deduplication before cannot be open.

I installed Windows Server 2012 R2 on my computer before, and use data deduplication to save the disk space.

I have test to open the files after data deduplication by attach the disk on another computers of WinXP and Win7, it's working well.

but when I install Win 10 TechPrev on my Computer, I found many files cannot be open. I think these files be data deduplicated before.

I think this is a bug of Win 10.

So, please be careful to install Win 10 if you have not backup your files.

Thinks.

Sony Device problem - Enrollment Email blank

Hello folks

My organization has run into an issue when attempting to Force Enrollment of our Sony Devices (multiple models have been tested). We are in the process of enforcing enrollment by way of blocking the devices that currently access Activesync while at the same time sending the "Action required to access your organization's email" email to the device, allowing the user to enroll. All is well for all devices except Sony. The Sony Devices receive the Enforcement Email, but the body of the email is blank...so the user is not provided a way to enroll the device.

I've exhausted Google searches and have come-up completely empty handed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Reply:

Which e-mail client is being used on these devices?

Best Choice for Document Consolidation

I am wanting to create a page\pages that show all documents consolidated by category. I have the Standard Edition of SharePoint 2013. I know there are a few options and I'm trying to decide which way to go.

I know I have the Content Query web Part. That works okay. I also know I could use the DataView web part and create a Data Source in SP Designer consolidating all the libraries that way. I guess a third option would be JavaScript and I'm not verify confident in my skill yet for this.

So the discussion I guess is which way of consolidation should I go?

I also would like to take Navigation into consideration. I was thinking of how I would create a Navigation Menu for my Categories. I'd love to be able to have something show in Global Nav that matches my Categories in a SP List. But not have to create a link to said source each time.

This does seem like what the Metadata Navigation stuff is for but I don't understand how I'd go about implementing Metadata Nav to an SP List. Or if that's possible. It just seems like Metadata navigation is just a different way of making links. I know it's more dynamic than that but for Navigation I don't really see a huge benefit.

Hi David- how you go about displaying the information is your choice, but I highly suggest using content types to "categorize" your documents so that gathering and displaying your information is easy and consistent across the board. For display I'd suggest the Content Query, but like I said, that's up to you.

cameron rautmann

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

Yeah I keep leaning toward Content Query.

I'm starting to get it. But I find stumbling blocks on the way. I really only need to display the document and a link to the workflow. I'm kind of stumped on that right now.

As a workaround I was removing the URL Path from the Link. Then putting a button to kick of the workflow in the View Toolbar. It's 'okay' but I'm thinking of trying JQuery and adding the URL.

With my limited JavaScript capabilities I worry about the JQuery Option. I've done some stuff but it would take a bit to get that going.

Shared directory restricton for private & public network

In my case my client was taking the laptop at home , I want to disable the other network shared directory in the laptop , But the same laptop should be access the domain share directory with in their company share directory .

Exact explanation

Client was taking the laptop at home and he was revealing the secure data from office laptop , for that he having another laptop and that laptop he was created one folder and enabled the sharing option , and the both laptop was connected in WIFI router.

Now the office laptop ip address -> 192.168.1.100

and his own laptop ip address -> 192.168.1.101

now he as opened the "run" and trying his laptop from office laptop and sharing the secure data to him share directory .

This is chasing the security risk in windows 8.1 / 7 , Please let me know how to take care this.

Thanks & Regards

Win 10 Tech Preview not working with Microsoft Remote Desktop application on Mac

My Windows 10 machine seems to be working fine wand will allow RDP from other Windows machines with no problem. However, whenever I use Microsoft Remote Desktop from a Mac, it fails to connect.:

The Win 10 machine can be pinged from the Mac successfully
The MRD application works fine remoting into other Windows machines.
Both devices have been fully updated and the MRD application is the latest version of it.
The error presented by the failed connection says the following: "Unable to connect to Remote PC. Please verify Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote PC is turned on and available on the network, and then try again."
This error occurs within the network the Win 10 machine and Mac are on and gives the same error when used outside of the network via VPN.
This error also exists for the onboard RDC application on the Mac (naturally).
The Mac is a mid-2013 MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.3

Any help on this would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

New powershell Export-StartLayout broken

All,

I have playing with the new PowerShell cmdlet (Export-StartLayout) in W10 10130. It works differently from versions in W8.1 as it only exports xml and not bin. However, I note that the structure of file that it exports is broken as the column and row references get duplicated. If you then rename the exported file LayoutModification.xml and place it in C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell it will attempt to build the modified Start screen for new users but because of the duplicated Tile references it breaks. If you manually edit the exported file and correct the column and row references it works as it should.

Hopes this helps with IT people trying to build customized Start screens.

Pete

Edited by PGomersall Friday, June 12, 2015 5:23 PM typo

Silly question time.

Does the file name change to LayoutModifications.xml or to LayoutModification.xml over-writing the file already present?

I am playing around with editing this file, but naming it LayoutModifications.xml does not seem to work. I can't figure out whether this is due to my editing, or the filename.

Thanks

Windows 8 as a corporate desktop? Bad idea.

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

Tom - you have to specify a file name and location e.g. C:\temp\startlayout.xml. You then edit the file to correct its structure. When you place it in C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell it needs to be called LayoutModification.xml and replace the one in there. I had a typo in the original post (which I just corrected).

Pete

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

Thank you Pete. I finally got it to work. There were many issues with the exported file, apart from the row/column values, where I had to make changes.

For example, in my exported file values were presented as:
<start:Tile Size="4x2" Column="0" Row="4" TileID="6e75b6b8-d624-4d4e-8403-d5c9d71dbf5b" AppUserModelID="Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App" />

In order to make this work I had to edit this to remove the "TileID" value, and change the format to:
<start:Tile
  AppUserModelID="Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App"
  Size="4x2"
  Row="4"
  Column="0"/>

I then embedded this in Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell folder of the install.wim file.
Now each new user sees an identical start layout.

Things would be great if they worked properly.

All,

The row and column format seems to be fixed in build 10147.

RE : Those running Insider Preview will be able to upgrade when the OS RTMs

I was involved in a thread which dealt with free upgrade to Windows 10 RTM.
One point I made and was politely contradicted was........... Technical preview users are entitled to a free upgrade PROVIDED the Previews were upgraded from a qualifying OSes, ie. Win 7 and Win8/8.1.

Well, here is a recent article dealing with that issue. I don't know how trustworthy is that website, but it appears to reinforce what I alluded to.

excerpt......... Source

Someone asked Gabriel Aul, the man in charge of the Windows Insider program, this very question on Twitter the other day, and he had this to say: "You won't need to reserve, and if you're running Insider Preview you'll be upgraded." And for those of you wondering: Yes, you will need a valid Windows 7/8.x license even if you are part of the pre-release testing program.

TS not auto installing applications

I am running a 2013 Deployment Bench TS and it always boots up to windows login after the OS install and does not continue into install the application until you manually enter the windows login screen.

Hello - You are viewing the data in Grid View which will not show Line-Break/ Carriage Returns between the lines.

You need to Switch to "Text" view to see the effect and you can do that by using Ctrl-T keys or by clicking "Results to Text" icon

OK as is started writing this, using IE i noticed, for some reason i couldn't use return.... always a good start when i have to use chrome to make this post on the Microsoft site... go figure

First off, the start menu - Im not even going to attempt to compare this to windows 7 like i have seen a lot of people doing, but rather windows 8.1

Its a mass improvement, yes, it still has the annoying 'apps' however after un-sticking them all and sticking my normal applications in the place, it has a much more... start menu feel to it. Its clean, has the standard buttons/menus for power etc - all in the place that we expect them to be. So for me at least we are getting something that is productive and could work.

I did find a little bug tho, if i turn off all 3 options for recent items in the start menu settings, restart the pc, i notice that the start menu button literally does nothing until i go and turn one at least one of the 3.

OK the task bar and notification area, again i like the improvements, the new style is clean and tidy - only thing i noticed is that on my second monitor (using the same gpu as the first) if i right click an applications icon in the task bar, it seems slow to open the menu. I do have it set so each screens task bar shows only the windows on that screen.

so overrall, the look and feel is a mass improvement - feels a lot more like a modern desktop should.

One big pet hate that im seeing more and more of a problem is, i had to turn off 6 or so options after install to not send microsoft any data. This is getting stupid - Microsoft, i do not wish to share my usage with you, nomatter if you logging the data's source or not. I don't want you to know if iv been browsing porn or simply shopping for dog food. Simple as that. give us one option that simply sends no data to microsoft. Even after the install i have found onedrive.... again really... i hope this can be removed on release. I dont want to share my usage with you... never mind my files.

As a coder, Microsoft, please please stop pushing this .net framework crap on us. I seen it in windows 8.1 massively - now in windows 10 - its here again. These 'apps' as you call them, can be cracked in 30 mins, that's if they have been obscured. It is no good for any developer to use them for anything of value for that reason.

.net framework is an amazing idea for those learning to program, however for a company to use it for anything of value - its a bomb waiting to happen. Security of source code should be a developers (or team of) no. 1 priority - if it can be reversed within seconds (obscured or not) then you might as well sell the project for £0.

My opinion, you want people to create software in the app form to sell on your store? give us a c/c++ option that does not depend on .net.

ok so at the end, i see privacy becoming more and more of a problem but the layout, appearance and general usage getting better.

cheers

[edit]

and thanks for the full size cmd window, i can now read compile errors with less scrolling ;)
