A Sysprep question on SID changes

Hello,
I have an issue with Sysprep and the Generalize option in WIN 7.
According to all M/S conventional wisdom I need to run this pass to remove COMPUTER NAME and SID's on a machine that I am going to deploy to the field multiple times. I have created on the image a local user with restriction on desktop access
via an LGPolicy. Sort of like a Kiosk in a mall.
When I run the GENERALIZE option, I lose the LGP restrictions on the local user because of the SID change. Now I know after reading a metric-boatload of email and forum threads about being able to copy the .pol files and the USER/MACHINE folders
to the new machine... basically I've tried and it doesn't really work without alot of extra work after the fact. Now I know stuff like this can be scripted for automation... but I would like to shake the trees and get a response from the
community to this thought...
Why do I need to change the SID's on a machine that will NEVER connect to the network behind the firewall, only thru a VPN. All applications a client/server based and or Web based. So there is no need to ID the machine or the user. Since the
user logs in via the VPN. It is joined to the domain upon Imaging for any updates etc.. and registered in AD, but after that it will NEVER touch the domain unless it is through a VPN. SO WHY RUN THE GENERALIZE PASS AT ALL?? Other than changing
the computer name.. which I can do elsewhere. I dont need the SID change.
This machine is used as a Mobile Data Terminal in a Public Safety environment, so I want to lock it down and have it autologin to a user upon powerup/reboot. I do this to keep it simple for the officers to use.
I have an Image that works, I just want to clone it to the field.
any thought from the assembled masses??

Are you using Windows 7 Embedded or Enterprise?
On a retail desktop OS, there shouldn't be any user accounts created at the time if you deploy your source OS to Audit Mode by default. I would then create a user group and assign policies to that group. Then when you sysprep the machine, the user account
you create, specify the Group name you created (as opposed to Users or Administrators) and see if the changes still remain.
Note that I have not actually set a local security policy in an image before. I just did a test where I disabled the UAC's Secure Desktop while in Audit Mode and did a sysprep/generalize and the setting was NOT lost. I tested on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64.

Question regarding to changing the region of the app with remaining balance

Question regarding to changing the region of the app with remaining balance
Hello, I am attempting to change the location of my app store which has remaining balance of 0.01$. In order to change the location of the store, it requires spending all the remaining balance. As my balance is too low " 0.01$" to buy an app from the store, I am not able to change the region of my app store. Moreover, Since I am not a residence in USA, I am not able to use my credit card either.
I am wondering if it is possible to change the location of my app store with a remaining balance OR to delete my current balance.
Thanks

SID change during system data import

Hi,
We are palnning to install a new SAP system with SID PRN by importing the data which was earlier exported from an existing system with SID PRO.
As the data to be imported belongs to the old system with SID PRO, will the system create any problem when importing the same data to a system with different SID(PRN).
Please clarify whether do we need to do any additional steps regarding the SID change. Please help in this regard.
Thanks,
Abdul

Hello Abdul,
No issues. Just make sure you run BDLS after assigning logical system. Otherwise you are bound to face issues with certain kind oof master data.

OWB repository not working after SID changed ?

Hi,
We have an OWB repository in a database named TEST. Recently the SID has been changed from TEST to TEST_2, and now the control center fails. Do I need to recreate the repository in the database after SID change, or could I just do some reconfigurations ? And if I could, how do I reconfigure the repository & control center based on the new SID name ?
Thanks

You don't need to recreate repository,
but you should update OWB repository table ( for more details look at this thread
Re: Unable to connect control center and start runtime service
) and maybe you need perform additional steps from Metalink note 434272.1 (for updating target location info).
Regards,
Oleg

Reg: SID change

Hi all,
I am going for a system refresh using BACKUP RESTORE method.
But i have some doubt, after throughing the restore command system will prompts below warning that source and target SIDs are different. After this should system automatically restores the entire source datafiles into target database or do we need to set some parameters to restore into different SID?
BR0454W Values of oracle_sid are different: current 'QAS', backup bdxrjktu.ant 'PRO'
BR0455W Value 'QAS' of oracle_sid will be used for restore
BR0454W Values of oracle_home are different: current '/oracle/QAS/920_64', backup bdxrjktu.ant '/ora
cle/PRO/920_64'
BR0455W Value '/oracle/QAS/920_64' of oracle_home will be used for restore
Regards
Nick Loy

Hi Nitin,
Thanks for your quick resp.
For all: Please do not understand this as SID change for existing system
This is a quality refresh. But i want to do the same using BACKUP RESTORE method.
Steps to do this:
1)I will take full online backup of souce system
2)Restore backup into target system.
3)Perform post installation/db copy steps.
But when performing 2nd step i have bit doubt. There SIDs should be different.
System automatically restores source database to target or do i need to change any parameters to restore?
This doubt after giving the command brrestore -b filename -m full

Questions on board change

I have questions on the motherboard change I'm about to do and obviously I'm amateur with this stuff so please bare with me. my question is I'm installing the MSI K7N2-l with AMD Athlon X.P. 2000+ Palomino core.
I was wondering when I switch motherboards can I put in my current hard drive with windows XP and just reinstall the current drivers for this new motherboard, or is there something else I need to do? I understand that before I remove the old motherboard I will need to uninstall any drivers or bios pertaining to that board before proceeding, is this correct? Thank you for your patience any information would be greatly appreciated!
Bill

It really depends on how much trouble just backing up critical data and doing a clean install is for you....I do recommend a clean install...but as you stated uninstalling any ide device, pci controllers and such will probably get you into a windows enviornment with the new board, but it is hard finding all previous registry entries....I would try a repair/ not a reinstall of the os from the XP cd itself.

3 questions on visual changes and positioning

Hello everyone,
I hope I have the right section for my questions. (so many categories) I have three questions that I hope I can get answered.
Question 1 ) I am writing an application that uses a JDesktopPane. I have a menu that each choice opens up a JInternalFrame. One of my internal frames contains option settings for the app. One of the option selections is the type of look and feel of the gui. I have three JRadioButtons that chooses the three built in types. When I use the method (see below) to change the gui look, it only effects the Internal Frame, not the rest of the app. Is there a way I can get it to change the rest of the frames and the main JDesktop.
private UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo looks[];
public void lookAndFeel()
          looks = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
          try
               UIManager.setLookAndFeel(looks[lookChoice].getClassName());
               SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
          catch(Exception exception)
               try
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(looks[0].getClassName());
               catch(Exception guiException)
                    // Nothing yet...
     }Question 2 ) Positioning --- I understand how to use layout managers, but is there a way I can override the positioning of objects? Sometimes, I want to postion objects to a point. Instead of automatic positioning.
Question 3 ) Adjusting properties --- I notice that when I create a different font and if I want an object to use that font then I need to setFont() for the object. Unfortunately, I have noticed that this needs to be done for every object. Is there a way to set the font for all the objects in a JPanel or JFrame at once?
Thanks everyone, (sorry for the numerous questions, just has been building for awhile)

HT5631 security questions - how to change them "for good"

The process to change the security questions is extremely confusing. Your instructions on apple support are not complete. You suggest to click on a button to turn off a two-step verification but that button does not exist.

Hi scorpiant,
If you are having issues changing or resetting your Apple ID security questions, you may find the following articles helpful:

I am unable to change my security questions, and to change or even see my recovery email.

I wanted to boy an app but they asked me for some security questions, I answered them but said I was wrong, so I go to try and change them from my Apple ID, but the changes won't save. So I add a recovery email and click reset security questions to my recovery email and they said they sent it. Now I check my mail (from my recovery email adress) and nothing's there, I give it time and still nothing. So now I don't even know if i typed correctly my recovery email adress because it appears like "send mail to c******@gamil.com" which is totally absurd. And try to change my recovery email adress but it won't let because there is no option for that. So i can't change my security questions because apparently I'm ansswering wrong, but no mail arrives to my recovery email, which i can't change eitrer.....

File associations are lost when user account is migrated from one domain to another domain (SID changes)

Hello,
Currently we are in the middle of a migration project. We are migrating users from child domains to the root domain of one organization.
The user accounts are migrated with powershell using Move-ADObject cmdlet. This works as expected. The SIDHistory attribute is updated correctly.
Recently we received complaints from some *migrated* users - they lost their default/custom file associations. This happens only on Windows 8/Windows 8.1.
What happens:
the user is migrated and logs on
her profile loads and everything's preserved (as expected)
the user clicks on a .jpeg file (previously associated with program XYZ)
OS asks the user to choose a program to open the file with
the user chooses a default program XYZ and the file opens
when the user clicks on a .jpeg file again - OS asks to choose a program again
i.e. the settings are not preserved.
Our investigation shows that it is connected with the UserChoice registry key and the HASH value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.SomeExt
According to this blog
the HASH is calculated based on user's SID. But after the migration the user has new SID and the HASH becomes invalid and we hit this:
"However In Win 8, the registry changes are verified by a hash (unique per user and app) that detects tampering by apps. In the absence of a valid hash, we ignore the default in the registry."
Currently deleting the UserChoice key for all associations solves the problem. But the user has to make all her customizations again which is undesirable.
Is there any supported way to fix this? Why the OS doesn't update the HASH after the first logon when the SID has changed as it updates the SID for the ProfileList key?
This could become big issue in large migrations.

Hello Petar K. Georgiev,
Please check the following article to change the registry key to change back to the default file type associations.

SID changing

Hi all,
We are planning to create a new test system from Dev and in process we have to change the SID and Logical name of the system, how to change the SID and LSN. After creating the syetm we have to upgrade the system is itpossibule to change he Logical system name after upgrade thru BDLS.
Please suggest..
Thanks,
Subhash.G

Hi Subhash,
You need to backup the system and reinstall - as homogeneous system copy. Check the bellow URL and notes 224266,11692.
http://service.sap.com/systemcopy
Any how this is the another simple method you can follow(if you are expert in DBA)
First of all, you need to make a full offline backup of your system (DB + FS).
As oraSID, start sqlplus session
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace;
This command will generate a trace file (available in /oracle/SID/saptrace/usertrace) which will contain a script to recreate you database controlfile.
Edit this script, keep the part ARCHIVELOG or NOARCHIVELOG, replace every old-SID with new-SID.
Save the script as cntrlfileSID.sql
Shutdown SAP and oracle.
Umount all SID-name-related filesystems, change them and re-mount everything.
(You can also use soft-links to gain time)
Change user SIDadm and oraSID (user name, groups, limits, environment profile).
Change SAP profile files in /sapmnt/SID/profile.
Modify the soft links in /usr/sap/SID/SYS ...
You will need to relink all oracle software (as oraSID)
As oraSID recreate your controlfile with the script cntrlfileSID.sql
=>use the resetlogs option to open you DB
Check oracle is OK
Modify you OPS$ users
This should work for an ABAP standalone system.
Good luck
Hari.
PS: Points are welcome.
