Access Connections deployment error
Hi,
I try to deploy Access Connections through our school.
I followed the Lenovo guideline called "Access Connections Deployment Guide".
So, I created a file.loa and put it at the same place of the setup.exe of Access Connections.
During the installation process, un error message comes up:
"RunDLL
There was a problem starting C:\Program
The specified module could not be found."
My environnment is Windows 7 Enterprise x64.
Do you know what's the problem?
Thanks for your help,
Solved!
Go to Solution.
The problem was that the files:
___.sig
*.loa
were missing in the: C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities\LOA folder on the clients.
So resolved it by adding in my batch file some new command lines.
Thanks,

Hi ..
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices. -
Enterprise Deployment Access Connections v5.62
Does anyone have a link to current documentation for Deploying 5.62?
Attempting to create the Integrated Package deployment as identified in the Deployment Guide for 4.5 which is the only documentation available linked from the Access Connections 5.62 XP webpage. After creating the directory structures with the appropriate extracted files for AC, PM, Hotkey, and drivers. Run the Setup and the older version are not identified as being installed in the GUI.
Is Integrated Package deployment the method for v5.62? Where it scans the system and applies the updated versions as needed. If not, does anyone have documentation on the new installation deployment method?
Any assistance would be much appreciated,

Access Connections 5.20 VERY VERY SLOW, produces errors...
I just installed the latest version of Access Connections, 5.20, on my T400, and whenever I open it to do ANYTHING, it pegs the processor and responds extremely slowly (I'm talking 5 to 10 seconds to respond to a mouse click).
Also, after I installed it, I got the message: "The system contains incompatible wireless wan drivers"
What the heck is Lenovo doing out there? A bright shiny new version of Access Connections, and it makes my laptop even less usable than before!
Anyone having this problem?
- TimYes, please wait with updating AC cause the needed driver aren´t online till now.
Reverting back to AC 5.12 should reactivate WWAN function.

ThinkVantage Access Connections cannot export .loc profile
Hello,
I've tried to export one of the location profiles in Thinkvantage AC. The function however is disabled in the profile maintenance window/menu. Access connection thus only allows importing, but no exports possible.
I've already tried using the Deployment tool for creating .loa files. But as this is binary gibberish, it's not much more useful to me than a registry export.
So, does anybody alternatively have a *.loc file at hand for public viewing? Couldn't find a single example on the web. (Much less in Lenovos documentation or web site...)
Thanks!

ThinkVantage Access Connections Issue
I just gave up on this and uninstalled it so no conflicts on this now. (Not critical to me unless someone more knowledgeable thinks it should be!)
Rescue and Recovery: I tried reinstalling both the Thinkvantage version 4.21 and Rapid Restore 4.0 after disabling all virus protection and uninstalling whichever one was on at that time.
Thinkvantage version 4.21: Gave me tons of errors in the pre windows R&R environment so I gave up after rebooting a couple of times It told me there was a problem with factory.exe and the following files were "corrupt and unreadable":
netdgdxb.PNF
nettcpip.PNF
netvt86.PNF
netw940.PNF
net557.PNF
netand2.PNF
netbrdgm.PNF
netce2.PNF
NetSetup.Log
Rapid Restore 4.0: Reinstalled from c:\ibmtools\apps.
Ran both "Create Rescue Media" and Rapid Restore 4.0. "Create Rescue Media"seemed to work ok and burned a CD for me. Rapid Restore had a problem and closed on it's own, but then proceeded to prompt me through 17 CDs for a backup!?! Can I rely on these? Is there a way to check their integrity? Of course, a fix for the program seeming to end--but not really --would be great. Also, the program to create the factory product recovery disks is no longer in Start-Programs menu. The pre Windows R&R environment seems to load ok--no obvious error messages.
Finally, since I reinstalled the software is the backup to factory info gone from my computer? Is there a way to check? What is the relationship between this and Windows System Restore which is reserving 9Gb on my HD--do I need both?
Thanks in advance!

802.1x wlan authentication wont work with Access Connections
Hi - hope someone can help. I have a WLAN configured to use 802.1x authentication using PEAP, passwords and an internal CA.
I can conect and authenticate a wireless client using the inbuilt windows wireless client; i am unable to connect when i configure Access Connections on the same computer with the same wireless settings. This is really annoying.....
The version of access connections is 5.21 running on windows XP SP3. Laptop is T61.
The connection fails as Access connections seems to think that there is no certificate installed on the client; there is and of course this would not have worked with the windows wireless client.
error message is:
The identity of the server was rejected. Verify that the correct server name has been specified in the 'Validate Server Certificate' section of the profile.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.did you find any resolution to this? our mba- mid 2013 deployment is having a very similar problem. We've gone through loads of troubleshooting and have yet to come to a resolution. all our mid 2012 mba's are working fine they're 10.7.5/10.8.4 mixed. console logs don't show much, i'll try the wireless diags tomorrow. our other 10.8.4 build appears fine on other models of machines. i've read posts about deleteing the adapters, deleting the system config plists and changing the mtu size, these steps do not work for us.
we don't have as high a failure rate with our deployment, but 25%-30% of our clients randomly drop connectivity and are unable to reconnect (fluttering wi-fi wave). when you slect the wifi symbol in the menu bar other wireless networks do not show, the 'looking for networks' fly wheel continues to spin. ocasionaly on login the yellow jelly bean will appear then disappear before finally timeing out without logging the user in (depsite having mobile accounts enabled). mostly the problem manifests itself when waking from sleep - the wifi symbol flutters endlessly without connecting. deleting the 8021x profile and readding it will reenable connectivity. we've tried new profiels, but to the same end. i know our certs and systems are fine because previous mac os x builds work fine as do our windows clients.
any input would be much appreciated. -

i have IIS server other than this and i am using oracle 10g as database, how should i know which server is taking which port??
please help me asap......Thanks for you suggestion sir, i tried netstat and it is listening for port 8080, now how should i stop that service or program using it coz as far as i know i did not install tomcat which generally uses dat port ans sun application server is using 4248 port as i see it in netbeans, so how should i know which program is using dat port ans stop it. i used "telnet 8080" command and it says "Connecting To 8080...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed".
i searched for server.xml file on my system and found abt 3 copies of them , they could be some temporary files or of my previous installations of tomcat and they are using port 8080 but i am not able to modify this file and the files are as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 3 for tomcat.zip\tomcat\conf\server.xml
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 7 for jakarta-tomcat-5.0.14.zip\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.14\conf\server.xml
But i am using apache- tomcat s/w
D:\apache-tomcat-6.0.10\conf\server.xml and this is not using port 8080 as i see in server.xml, but right now i did not add this server in netbeans and i am only trying to run with sun java application server and it is giving me deployment error.
i even tried running my application with apache-tomcat alone by adding it as server in netbeans but it is also giving error saying "Access to Tomcat server has not been authorized. Set the correct username and password with the "manager" role in the Tomcat customizer in the Server Manager.
See the server log for details."
i tried setting the username as "ide" and password as "ideide", my owm, but it didnt work, how do i set them?

please help me asap- If you open the windows task manager and move to processes tab, do you see anything that is related to tomcat? If so, you can try killing those processes.
- As for the password: You should see a file called 'tomcat55.properties in the userdir (name may be slightly different depending on the version of tomcat), if a tomcat server is registered with the ide. (Similarly the file 'glassfish.properties' should be present for the sun java system appserver). For info on user directory, please take a look at http://blogs.sun.com/karthikr/entry/jse_directories.
- Have you tried using a different port for the appserver?
- In the runtime tab, after expanding the 'servers' tab, do you see any tomcat servers registered with the ide? -

Access denied. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\
I have searched on Google and all over this forum and none of the solutions have fixed my problem.
Crystal Version: Crsytal.Net for Visual Studio.Net 2005
Server: Windows Server 2003
Error:
Access denied. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\JuryDutyReport {D6296178-3E72-483E-B876-2DFC03D00841}.rpt: Access to report file denied. Another program may be using it.
When I run my app locally through the Web Server that comes with ASP.Net, everything is fine, it is only when I deploy the application to the Windows 2003 Server that I get the error.
I'm using impersonation in my ASP.Net application. I have given that domain user full access to 'C:\Windows\Temp'', the export folder and even the folder where the Crystal Report resides on the Server. When I run the application on the Web Server, I actually see the ".rpt" get created in the "C:\Windows\Temp" folder but yet it still says there is a permissions error.
What is bizarre is that the code below that just sends the file to the printer automatically works:
private void PrintJuryDutyReport(DataSet ds)
//create report document
ReportDocument crDoc = new ReportDocument();
//load, set datasource and print options
crDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Reports/JuryDutyReport.rpt"));
crDoc.SetDataSource(ds); //set datasource
crDoc.PrintOptions.PrinterName = ddlPrinters.SelectedValue.ToString(); //set printername
crDoc.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait; //set paper orientation
crDoc.SetParameterValue("ParamUsername", User.Identity.Name); //set parameter
crDoc.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0); //send to printer
I have to change the code to export to a PDF and this code doesn't work:
private void PrintJuryDutyReport(DataSet ds)
//report document
ReportDocument crDoc = new ReportDocument();
string myfile = @"G:\COPFS\COPFSPROD\ReportsTemp\MyPDF.pdf";
//load, set datasource and print options
crDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Reports/JuryDutyReport.rpt"));
crDoc.SetDataSource(ds); //set datasource
crDoc.SetParameterValue("ParamUsername", User.Identity.Name); //set parameter
//export through http
crDoc.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, myfile);
crDoc.Close();
crDoc.Dispose();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf";
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myfile);
Response.WriteFile(myfile);
Response.Flush();
Response.Close();
Any help is greatly appreciated as I have to present this to end users tomorrow.Don, thanks for the response.
As a last ditch effort, I granted "modify" to the Network Service Account on C:\Windows\Temp and that fixed the error.
There are two things that are troubling about this:
1) I'm impersonating a domain user in my ASP.Net application and when the PDF is created, the owner is that domain user, so I know impersonation is working. So I wonder if ASP.Net picks and chooses what account it runs under at different times?
2) It is a little scary for the Network Service Account to have this access but that people seem to be fine with it.

T400 Vista vs Access Connections
(I hope this doesn't show up twice. My first try failed with an undecipherable server error)
Basically, wifi is unusable on my new T400 when running Vista Ultimate or Vista Business 64. If I run XP it works just fine. All 3 are stock Lenovo OEM installs from factory media.
My home wifi router is sitting close to the laptop. W/Vista, I can usually see it via "find" but usually can't connect. Occasionally after rebooting I can. Sometimes I can't even see it in find. W/XP on this T400, or with XP on my T61, it works as expected.
I suspect confiicts between Vista wifi management and Access Connections. With XP, one could solve this by unchecking the "let windows manage..." box in wifi properties. There doesn't seem to be such an option in Vista. I have tried disabling the windows "Zero Configuration" service (WLAN Autoconfig after SP1) but that doesn't help. Without that service, AC can't even turn on the radio. Worse (!) I can't turn the radio on manually via Fx-F5 either. Bluetooth yes, wifi no.
It looks like AC actually uses some/all of the WLAN Autoconfig function.
One thing I haven't tried yet is uninstalling AC and just using the Vista wifi management. Even if that works, it gives up a lot in terms of profile management.
I welcome any suggestions. As it stands, this shiny new T400 is unusable. It's a nice little machine, but this isn't the first of the frustrations....
Thanks,
Z

English Community Deutsche Community Comunidad en Español Русскоязычное СообществоUnfortunately, I need to use this thing on the road as well as at home, so a fixed IP address isn't an option since I won't know what subnet(s) will be in use. I experienced the same problems last weekend at two hotels and in the Denver airport, so it isn't my router.
I have done quite a bit more experimentation with this problem, without any resolution. I do notice that when it fails Vista thinks it is connected, but only locally. It has assigned a 169... address which I take to mean that DHCP has failed. Trying a command: ipconfig /renew fails with an error.
If I let it fail, then reboot, it usually will succeed as long as I try to connect to the same access point that failed before the reboot.
I tried uninstalling Access Connections, but Vista has the same problem(s) when it is doing the management! Failed connections, local only connections, and often success after a reboot. One interesting and nasty difference is that when using the Windows management w/out Access Connections, wired connections will also fail in the same way!
I see many, many people on the web who are having similar problems. Some of the threads go back more than a year with no resolution.
I have gone around and around with IBM/Lenovo support. They have escalated the problem to a series of lead techs who never return phone calls. Very disappointing, since the first tier techs are quite friendly and helpful - and generally return calls.
My next step is to go back to the nice man who handles escalations from the sales side, and ask him where to send this piece of junk. It boggles my mind that Microsoft and Lenovo will put this kind of half-baked crap in the marketplace, and then do nothing to get it working.
