Windows 8.0 Volume License machines reboot and windows 8.1 is installed??

We are a small private university with 484 computers running Windows 8.0 with MAK key.
This week we have had 2 Windows 8.0 computers spontaneously upgrade to Windows 8.1.
Since we do have a windows 8.1 MAK key all we had to do was enter the correct key and the computers were fine but everything I am reading about Volume Licensing says that this is not an upgrade path for Windows 8.1.
Is Microsoft pushing out Windows 8.1 slowly to volume licensed computers on Windows 8.0, or is this just some sort of anomaly that may happen occasionally.
One of our operators reported that the usual blue banner prompting upgrade appeared the day before but did not have an option on the banner to deny the upgrade. The next morning when she booted the computer, Windows 8.1 installed and we had to enter
the 8.1 MAK key and all appears to be well.
This is not really a complaint, just that we were VERY surprised when it happened, hoping it was not some sort of hack by a third party.

Hi,
I don't know how useful this information will be for that many machines. This was also observed on 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise, but here is what I found while doing multiple different upgrades... just so I could figure out how to stop them...
Windows Update KB2973544 triggers Win 8.1 to automatically install.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2973544
In addition, KB3008273 appeared in Nov. 2014, which is also related to the automatic installation of Win 8.1... It actually replaces KB2973544.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3008273
Windows Update KB2871389 makes Win 8.1 available in the Store, and is a prerequisite for KB2973544 and\or KB3008273. You might uninstall it also.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2871389/en-us
I have found that the installation of KB2973544 and\or KB3008273 create Scheduled Tasks in Task Scheduler under *** Microsoft \ Windows \Setup***
They are...** 8.1 Auto Install Ping** and **8.1 Auto Install V2**. They are scheduled for 8pm Daily.
I clicked on both and selected "RUN", as I didn't want to wait several hours to see what happened... A download started immediately.
After downloading for about an hour, I restarted the machine to see what would happen... The download resumed quickly after the restart.
After the download started again, there were two more Scheduled Tasks added to the same location....   **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task**... which was running, and
**Windows AutoUpdate Setup Store Resume Task**... which is *Ready*, but has NEVER run.      There was a Service *Modern Setup Host* running in Taskmanager.
***I have found that the only way to stop the installation of Win 8.1 once the Scheculed Task ....   **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task** is indicating "At Logon" for it's Trigger,
is to end all the tasks showing, starting with that one, and then the ** 8.1 Auto Install Ping** and **8.1 Auto Install V2**.
After Ending the tasks Delete them...
After deleting the Tasks, I had to go to C:\ $Windows.~BT, which is a Hidden File, and delete anything that has a recent date... especially the .esd file (Install.esd) of 2.67GB..
I deleted anything that was newer than one week. You could probably delete everything inside the *Sources*, *Support*, and *Drivers* folders...
Also uninstall the mentioned KB's, starting with the newest, and doing the KB2871389 last, as it requires a reboot.
Any attempt to reboot the machine before doing this results in the installation of Win 8.1 starting...
If you were to End the tasks and disable or delete them while the **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task** is still showing a
Date and Time for it's trigger, deleting the $Windows.~BT files may not be necessary.
The biggest issue with this process is that you may be denied access to the $Windows.~BT folder. If that is the case, you will need to take Ownership of it.
If you disable and delete the Scheduled Tasks, and uninstall the previously mentioned KB's shortly after selecting *Remind Me Later*
THE FIRST TIME, the process will be stopped, and it won't be necessary to delete anything in the $Windows.~BT folder.
You should have about 24 hours to do this.
After uninstalling the KB's and deleting the scheduled tasks, a new scheduled task has appeared.
It is *Pre-Staged GDR Notification*, and is scheduled to run at *8PM of Every Thursday of Every Week*. My guess was that this is to remind you to install the Win 8.1 Update.
It actually causes another task to be created... *Windows Upgrade Notification Task*... It runs at the *Log On of Any User*
I couldn't get this task to show a notification. The task ran when I did it manually, but generated an error message in the log... *Specified Module Could Not Be Found (0x8007007E) Windows Upgrade Notification*
This is most likely because the KB's have been uninstalled.
I'm sure they can be disabled as well, if you want to stop\prevent the reminders.
I know that once Win 8.1 Update actually installs, those scheduled tasks no longer exist. In fact, the entire SETUP folder disappears.

CHKDSK v6.2.9200.16384 dichotomy between Windows 12 Server x64 Standard Build 9200 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64

I seem to have discovered a dichotomy between the ability of CHKDSK v6.2.9200.16384 to detect and repair an external NTFS drive, when executed on Windows 2012 Server Standard Build 9200 x64 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64. There should be no difference in executing
the same application between these two systems.
Even though both are 64-bit systems, and both are up to date, and both are running the same version of chkdsk, chkdsk on Windows 12 Server was UNABLE to detect an NTFS filesystem on an external WD 1TB USB drive (detected fs as RAW), while chkdsk on Windows
8.1 Enterprise WAS ABLE to detect the NTFS filesystem on the same external drive, and was able to repair it.
So, what is the difference between these two systems? Why should the same version of
any application yield different results between these systems?
The only result on Windows 2012 Server was:
C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /x /f M:
The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.
The result on Windows 8.1 Enterprise was:

Hi,
Please check if the Windows Server 2012 is still UNABLE to detect the external NTFS drive after attach the drive from the Windows 8.1 back to the Windows Server 2012.
A RAW filesystem simply means that it is a filesystem that is not recognized by Windows. The most common cause of external hard drives suddenly becoming RAW drives is if they are disconnected from a computer without using the “Safely Remove Hardware” option.
You can use the Dskprobe tool (Dskprobe.exe) to make repairs to check it the issue still exist on the Windows Server 2012.

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Windows 8.1 Volume license and FPP

Hi Team,
A couple of questions:
Question 1. If you buy a WinPro 8.1 SNGL OLP NL Legalization GetGenuine (Microsoft part number: FQC-08147); can you transfer the license from one PC to another if the current PC where the license is installed crashes and becomes unusable?
Question 2. If you install WinPro 8.1 SNGL OLP NL Legalization GetGenuine (Microsoft part number: FQC-08147) and somehow the PC crashes; would you be able to re-install the same license on the same PC after the PC is repaired and restored?

Hi Mukesh Beri ,
As far as I am concerned ,one license is used for one machine .
Considering this is a volume license issue ,it is recommended to contact our volume license support directly. We will get more detailed information there.

Windows 8 Pro volume license version does not have "Add Features" therefore cannot install media center.

As the title describes, Windows 8 Pro installed from the Volume License ISO does not have the Add Features wizard, and as such it appears to be impossible to install the Windows Media Pack.
I've consulted with Live Chat support who cannot provide an answer to this, they simply said it should be done through "Add Features" which does not exist.
A similar thread was answered by saying install from a Retail disc and upgrade. However this is hardly a solution, paying for an additional Windows license when you already have a volume license.
Can anyone, preferably MSFT, provide a proper answer on how Windows Media Center can be install on Windows 8 Pro which is volume licensed. If it can't be done can some reason or justification be given as to why it can't be done.
Please see previous thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itproinstall/thread/d63b46e5-c542-4dbe-be41-c46cda440723

I would like to pile on here and say "ditto" to all of the above. you have a licensed product and they don't even support the MSFT version of a DVD player. Nah, no one EVER has to play a older technology in corporate America due to training or presentation
(A funny clip of a movie before a ppt)? Nah.
But, I'd like to add a warning to MSFT senior management. I know you want to force everyone to use YOUR cloud just like apple did to theirs. Wont' work. Some of us refuse to sign onto a web site and let you track all of our moves... some
distrust the cloud (Target anyone?) etc etc. All good points, now for the out of the park. The Harvard Business Review some years ago did a study on long term profitability of a company (you have to have a profit to stay in business). The
most highly correlated factor: Customer Sat. Sorry, but I don't see customer sat in all of these entries.
IF you made your product easier to use and NOT have to have a IT support person to move from a small workgroup to a server configuration (and PS, what in the heck to you get from a workgroup? File Replication, Remote access to outlook files as one
does via exchange? Really, every computer is in a workgoup any more, so there is ZERO value add in a workgroup on a MSFDT platform, however there is great value, even with a couple of users, in an Exchange/Windows Server Platform -- so why so you make
it so damned hard to implement one... Difficult for one to implement in an SMB environment (so lets just kill SBS) but growth from small business is where your growth is... just like IBM did before you, MSFT only appears to be listening to Fortune 500 it execs,
but I really digressed) This is just one more pain in the butt to use MSFT in the small environment. So what is the rational business decision? Yes one can pick MSFT but with Zero value add in the workgroup, why not them other guys (who may
be apple, or android or even some Linux platforms)
SO you want to continue to mil the cash cow, listen to your forums.
One more note on the STORE. Lets say you do pick a competitive product in the windows store. Have them been verified they don't contain malware like MSFT products? I believe the answer here is "NO" So this adds another layer of complexity
and security risk on the corporate problem of "How do I play a DVD on my laptop" I am sure none of you has ever played a movie on your laptop flying for business?
So, MSFT management, let me paraphrase the posts above: "WHY don't you support our business needs"
And remember, people buy to have their needs met..... (IBM Planned Sales Call)
If you don't meet small business needs, someone will... and that too is fraught with risk.
(For example of how to make computers easy to use in SMB I reference SBS, the Systems Management Interface tool in IBM Unix, or best of all, the AS/400.... something even Ellison couldn't kill, though he tried.

Service Template: Automatic Machine Rebooting and Script Restarting via Exit Code in Script Application

Hello,
My question is on Script Applications in
Service Templates:
In VM Templates, in the Application Configuration tab, one can add a Script Application. This can be a PowerShell script, a batch script, etc.
For each Script Application, it is possible (via the Advanced options) to make the
machine reboot when the script exits with one of three
exit codes: 1641, 3010 and 3011.
Problem:
For PowerShell or PS scripts, if I use ‘exit 3010’, the machine should reboot but it doesn’t…
Bad workaround:
Use a batch script which calls the PS script. Then, exit out of the batch script using ‘exit $LASTEXITCODE’. This works. The machine reboots.
I can’t use the workaround. Is there a way to do this using just the PS script?
-Rohan.

In fact yes.
You actually want SCVMM to orchestrate the reboot by sending the proper exit code. Otherwise SCVMM gets all weird about things.
It is in the advanced settings for the script and / or command.
You need to make sure that your script tosses the 3011 or 3010 on exit.
I do it with the 3011:
# Exit 3011
[Environment]::Exit(“3011”)
In the XML you will find this:
<vmmst:RebootExitCodeRegex>{1641}|{3010}|{3011}</vmmst:RebootExitCodeRegex>
But you do not want to enable restarting the script on each reboot or you will find yourself in a loop.

Upgrade Gurus- CS 5 volume license, CS 5.5 retail upgrade can't install, upgrading to CS 6?

Hi,
I have run into a very interesting problem at work and need confirmation about some information I received. We have six computers with various versions of Creative Suite 5 (Design Standard, Master Collection, etc.) installed on these computers. These are all volume licensed projects. A few years ago we puchased Creative Suite 5.5 upgrades. These upgrades are retail licenses. We have recently purchased new computers and tried to install Creative Suite 5.5 on them. However, Adobe is telling us that because Creative Suite 5 was a volume license and the Creative Suite 5.5 upgrade was a retail license, we could only perform this upgrade once. This means only our old computers can have CS 5.5 installed and our new computers are stuck with CS 5. Which is just wrong. However, we are sick of wasting time with Adobe and are willing to upgrade our new computers to CS 6 (and get rid of the old computers). So here is the question- can we purchase CS 5.5 to CS 6 upgrades (retail license of course) and just use the CS 5.5 serial numbers when we upgrade our CS 5 computers to CS 6?
Cliff Notes: Do I need CS 5.5 installed in order to use a CS 5.5 to CS 6 upgrade or do I just need the CS 5.5 serial numbers?

I have the same issue. Cleaner tool does not hetl, at least in my case. Do you mean that the whole CS5.5 Master Collection should be uninstalled? I have tried everything else:
I tried to uninstall, but Flash Builder was not listed among the programs, maybe I have uninstalled it earlier or it is inclkuded in CS5.5
I deleted all Flash Builder related files, no help
Then I deleted all Flash Builder related registry entries, no success
Finally I downloaded the cleaner tool, its action options do not include anything Flash Builder Releted.
I simply can't get rid of the conflicting version

Get an error for changing the windows authentication mode to the both SQL and windows authentication mode

I installed the SQL server Express 2008 R2 and then SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 . But during the installation, I could not choose the both SQL and windows authentication mode and an error accrued so I did that just with windows authentication mode.
Now, I want to change the windows authentication mode account to the SQL authentication mode but it shows me an error which is you do not have permission (Although I am the administrator in windows), what can I do?
Following steps are the steps that I went but I got an error:
Server properties >> security >> choose the option of SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode
and the error that I got is attached(access is denied)
Can you please help me?

You can change the setting after you gain admin rights to your SQL Server. You don't admin rights automatically, you have to explicitly add yourself during the install
Here's a guide on how to (re)gain those rights:

License for OSX and Windows

I am interested in purchasing a copy of PSE 9, but I am unsure on the licensing rules. As far as I can ascertain, one can have PSE installed on one notebook and one desktop on the same liscense, assuming only one can be used at any given time. If that is correct, how does this apply to different operating systems on each computer? For instance, I have a Macbook Pro (running OSX 10.6.4) and a desktop PC (running Windows 7 x64). Would I still be able to use the one license across both systems?
Thanks for your help.

PSE9 is multi-platform so you can run both side by side, subject to a maximum of two installations.
If you ever need to transfer PSE9 to another computer you must first deactivate the Editor by going to Help >Deactivate (it will be grayed out in trial versions)

FlexBuilder license for Mac and Windows

I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'd like to be able to start
developing on it using FlexBuilder for the Mac. I've been doing
some research, and the Windows license is not compatible with the
Mac version. I did find some info on the
Adobe
Flex FAQ. Does this mean that if I "trade-in" my license that
it will no longer be valid for Windows? Or am I trading my
Windows-only license for one that works on both systems? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks.

Time Capsule setup with 2 machines: iMac and Windows XP

Long time reader, first-time poster.
OK, so I just got my new 1TB Time Capsule, set it up and am ready to start designing my backup strategy for home. I'd like to do a few things, and looking for some advice:
1. I am currently using Time Machine to backup my iMac to an external 250MB drive. I want to switch over my Time Machine backups to the new Time Capsule (which I think I can handle), but then I want to format my other external drive and move my video files over to it to free up disk space on my iMac. Once I do that, how do I tell Time Machine to look for that external 250MB drive as well so that it backs up my video files? I see how to exclude files from the Time Machine backup process, but I'm not sure how to explicitly tell Time Machine to back up other drives outside the main HD.
2. I also use a Windows XP machine for work and would like to configure Time Machine to look for that machine when I'm connected at home and back up certain files on the Time Capsule. Will it do this...or do I need to login to the Time Capsule from the Windows machine and do this manually over the network share (or use SyncToy or something). If this is the case, am I better off "partitioning" the Time Capsule drive so that Time Machine can use, let's say 750MB of the space and I keep 250MB in reserve for the WIndows Machine?
I haven't seen any postings like this in this forum, my apologies if someone else has already answered this...hope it makes sense.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Volume fluctuations in iTunes and Windows 7

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 I have experienced intermittent volume fluctuations when playing music through iTunes. Unlike some posts I have read where users have been experiencing massive changes in volume, and in programs other than iTunes, mine are only minor (and perhaps more irritating because I can still listen to the tracks but it's definitely noticable) and only in iTunes.
At this point I would like to say that nothing in my PC's set up has changed. I am using the exact same hardware and software and I was when I used Windows XP, but for some reason I am now getting this problem. Without anyone hearing what I hear it's hard to explain, but so annoying and I'm sure that it must be something to do with Windows 7. I have checked all my sound card/motherboards potential driver upgrades, and I know it's not my speakers because it only happens in iTunes. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help appreciated.

This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1362 has some good tips, like removing plug-ins, changing Hardware Acceleration and sound enhancer settings.
If that doesn't work, make sure the issue isn't caused by the equalizer settings.

Windows 8.0 Volume License machines reboot and windows 8.1 is installed??
