Access Connections and Group Policy generated network profiles

Hello,
We are in the middle of rolling out 3500 T400 machines and are having fits with Access Connections 5.02. We have a default in-house Preferred Wireless Network Profile that is created on each machine via Group Policy. This works fine with AC and everything does what is supposed to do when our users are in our buildings. When our users go offsite, we have nothing but fits with AC and trying to set up any other WAN connections.
If users set up a new network connection, we are asking them to set it up thru AC. We have had them try using both the "Use Windows to Configure Wireless Network" as well as "IEEE 802.1X Authentication". Once the network connection is set up, for some, the wireless will work for a short period (a week or so) and then will no longer detect network connections. The user nor the client site has made any changes to the wireless configuration.
Others will have a stable connection wirelessly until they connect over VPN – VPN will drop in a few minutes after connection. They can then sometimes reconnect after a reboot; but the instability is a constant problem.
It seems to me that the problem could all be traced back to GP enforcement, which occurs every 8 hours when connected to our network. If a user is offline for several days, then connects up to check email or transfer time or whatever, then they are kicked off. If a user connects via VPN, they are kicked off within minutes - again potentially traceable to GP enforcement.
Has anyone else dealt with this scenario of Preferred Wireless Network policies and Access Connections?
Thanks!

Try going back to AC 4.52, which solved the problems i was having with AC5.02 (freezes, BSOD, loss of wireless connections when coming out of standby, GUI problems) on Vista Home Premium. Scroll down for prevous versions of AC5.02 here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67283
I do not use a VPN system so AC4.52 may not help your 3500 Thinkpads.
Lenovo (Mark_Lenovo) knows there are problems with AC5.02 for the last three (or more ) months and have stated that AC 5.1 will solve the problems, but it has not been released as far as I know. There are many threads on AC5.02 on this forum and also on thinkpads.com
the Lenovo Blog site also has an update on AC5.02 ;under "Design Matters" on how they selected the graphics for wireless connections - the responses there offer some suggestions to fix the problems.

Access Connections (5.84) opens with no window displayed (Win 7)

I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) on a T500 with 6GB of RAM.
I ran the Lenovo Software Update utility the other day and installed all of the listed updates. This morning, I attempted to bring up Access Connections (aka Internet Connections; v. 5.84) to take a look at the profiles I had defined. When I start Access Connections, the task appears in the task bar but there is no window displayed!
I thought that the update that was performed through TVSU might have gone wrong so I downloaded 5.84 from Lenovo's website and attempted to install it again and I'm seeing the same behavior.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
For now, it's not severe issue as I don't have a need to create a new connection profile but I may have to soon.
Any suggestions on what I should try?
Thanks in advance.

I was experiencing exactly the same problems with my T500 Win7 X64 Utilimate machine after the last set of Lenovo updates. It took a few days for me to notice the problem. Not only weren't the Access Connections and Power Manager windows not rendering, I also stumbled onto the fact that my Blackberry Desktop Manager was also not rendering.
I had also applied a number of windows updates as well. I backed them all off with no change.
LENOVO SOFTWARE SUPPORT DOES NOT EXIST!!. I called the 800 number 1-800-IBM-SERV and was told by the IBM contractor answering the Thinkvange support call that he is only allowed to tell a customer to uninstall and reinstall the Lenovo provided software. If that does not fix the problem then he must tell the customer to reload the system from a prior backup or reinstall the operating system.
I booted the machine in safe mode with networking and found that the Power Manager and Access Connections windows will render. That reminded me that included in the recent System Updates was a new display adapter driver from AMD. I have had problems with these drivers in the past and went into device manager and rolled back the driver. Reboot and now I have my access connection, power manager and Blackberry desktop windows fully operating.
IS THERE NO WAY TO REPORT A PROBLEM TO LENOVO FOR THEIR SOFTWARE ISSUES?
I hope this helps you and anyone else experiencing the same problems.
LENOVO - The last AMD Dual Driver is BAD!!!! as was releated in the past month for X64 machines.
I can be contacted at xxxxxxxxxxx if any Lenovo representatives or managers would like to discuss this issue and why I should continue to buy ThinkPads for me and my clients.

When FF is not open, external apps spawn FF with default profile

When Firefox is open, external links open in a new tab fine. However when FF is not open, the links will spawn the browser with the default user profile. Then I have no customized bookmark bar with my links on it.

It is best to select the default profile that you want to use when you click a link in an external program as the current selected profile in the Profile Manager (marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini) and use desktop a shortcut that specifies a profile folder to open other Firefox version with a specific profile.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bypassing_the_Profile_Manager
Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously.

Using Auto-Install with Cisco 2504 WLC

I have a config file that would like to deploy to multiple 2504 controllers.
I am trying to get Auto-Install to upload my config file but I keep getting the 'no interfaces registered' message.
I have my config file on the root of the tftpd32 folder and have TFTP and DHCP servers enabled.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks

Did you configure DHCP option 150, so that the WLC knows where to find the TFTP server? This should be possible in tftp32.
See for more info this document, it is kinda aged but still accurate.

Windows 8.1: Unable to connect to IBSS network with a profile installed manually

I created an IBSS network, Imported the IBSS profile and trying to connect from my Windows 8.1 machine. It was not connecting to the network for some reason. Is it supported in Windows 8.1?
I was able to connect to the network from Windows 7 machine using same IBSS profile, But not with Windows 8.1. Is there any known issue related to this?

Hi,
Please take a look at the following articles regarding IBSS network:

Connecting to a website with default browser

Hi I am kind of new to Java, anyway I have written an application that displays information from a database in a table. I wanted to be able to right click on a particular entry and then connect to a website based on the key field. Does anyone know how to start the the users default browser, from within my application (eg netscape) and then connect to the specified site
Cheers

You might want to take a look at BrowserLauncher. It is a much better method than runtime.exec.
I dont have the link to the site with me, but search at Google for BrowserLauncher, you should get the link.
I think it is also registered at sourceforge.

"Set of folders can not be opened. you must connect to microsoft exchange with current profile" geeting error while opening shared mailbox in outlook 2007

Hello Folks,
I am having exchange sever 2007 SP3. currently facing issue with one shared mailbox. One of the user is not able to open that mailbox from outlook 2010.
I can able to add that mailbox in the outlook but while opening the outlook it is asking for password. Outlook is not accepting user password for that mailbox. I have removed that user from full access and added that user again.
Other shared mailbox is working fine with same outlook profile and other user can also able to access that problematic shared mailbox.
Can anyone tell how to troubleshoot..?
Thanks, Chinmay.

Hi,
How do you open the shared mailbox in Outlook?
Please remove the shared mailbox from your Outlook totally and follow the following steps to open it:
1. Open Outlook, click File > Account Settings
> Account Settings.
2. Click Change and make sure Use Cached Exchange Mode is checked.
3. Click More Settings > Advanced tab.
4. Click Add next to Open these additional mailboxes and type the shared mailbox.
5. Click Ok > OK. Then the shared mailbox would be listed under the Navigation Pane.
Alternatively, we can create a new Outlook profile in Outlook and setup the shared mailbox. If it is asking for credentials, we can use the user account who have full access permission to the shared mailbox for authentication.

Printers auto installing with WSD Port

Hi everyone,
We are currently building our Windows 8.1 image for our business. In a recent deployment test, we noticed that some printers are installing automatically on some workstations.
Those printers are installed using a WSD Port.
I'm looking for a way to disable WSD in my Windows 8.1 image since we are using Novell iPrint to install our printers.
I've spent a couple of hours looking around Google for a solution but nothing came up.
Any clue?

Hi,
I think the reply by Alan in the thread below answered your question:
Disable PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator service
The PnP-X bus enumerator service manages the virtual network bus. It discovers network connected devices using the SSDP/WS discovery protocols and gives them presence in PnP. If this service is stopped or disabled, presence of NCD devices will not be
maintained in PnP. All pnpx based scenarios will stop functioning.
Or
Use the drop down when initially creating ports and select Standard TCP/IP Port. The query first performs WSD, if this fails, goes to SNMP, if this fail, user is prompted to manual port configuration.
You can find the IP in device mananger in the properties of the WSD Print device (Location Information).
You can't delete these port unless you are deleting a printer at the same time so once you switch the existing printer to IP, you will need to create a fake printer to clean up the port.
You can refer to the link below for more details:

Hey barak666,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the post.
We are investigating this issue and we will need to gather logs from the BlackBerry Z10. Please contact your network service provider and ask to be transferred to BlackBerry so we can review these logs.
I appreciate your patience.

Exporting Access Connections profile / Import to Windows Wireless

Hi All.
I have an issue which i really hope someone have a solution for as either googling and searching through 53 pages on this forum has not provided me with an answer. Here goes...
The hospital on which i'm working are about to change their IT-infrastructure and when this migration takes place i will no longer be able to use Access Connections. I have about 30 profiles in AC and all of them with a security key which would be hell to setup again through windows wireless.
Do any of you know of a way to export profiles from AC and then import them to Windows Wireless?
Thanks in advance!

Domain policy wireless profiles are not compatible with Access Connections.
The problem stems that Domain profiles are stored in a different part of the registry than a locally created WZC profile. Since these are part of the domain policy, they cannot be altered locally. Microsoft wouldn't provide Lenovothe encryption used (for obvious security reasons), so the domain policy based profiles can't be manipulated by Access Connections.
But we do provide an ADM template that can be used to do much the same things.

Access Connections fails to launch - "has encountered a problem and needs to close..."

I have an R61 with XP, SP3 installed. The underlying functionality of Access Connections appears to be working properly (I have access to both Ethernet and wireless using profiles previously established), but when I attempt to launch Access Connections (from system tray icon, Programs, etc.) I get the error message, "Access Connections has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience," and the option to send or not send an error report to Microsoft. This makes it impossible to create or edit location profiles. I first encountered this error several months ago with AC version 5.33 (might have also seen it under 5.3). Subsequently I have upgraded to version 5.50 and have the same problem. Today I uninstalled AC, restared, reinstalled ver 5.5 (from a fresh download), and restarted. I still encountering the problem.
Additional information: Norton Internet Security (2010) is installed. Microsoft and ThinkVantage patches are up to date.
Please recommend "next steps" in troubleshooting or a way to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hmmm... could be a corrupt profile.
Try this.
1. Uninstall Access Connections (but don't delete the profiles)
2. After the reboot, open REGEDIT.
3. In the left pane, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Lenovo
4. Still in the left pane, right click on Access Connection and choose export
5. Assign an appropriate filename and click Save (I suggest somewhere on the Desktop).
6. Right click on Access Connections again and choose delete.
7. Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Program Files\Thinkpad\ConnectUtilities directory.
8. Delete any files in this directory.
9. Reinstall Access Connections v5.50
10. Try and create a profile.
If you still get an error trying to create a profile, then something else is broken. Be sure you have .NET 3.5 SP1 (it may be under optional downloads in Windows Update).
If it works fine, then you have a bad profile. Unfortunately, there isn;t an easy way to figure out which one other than try and error of delete profiles and trying one at a time.
To restore your profiles.
1. Unistall Access Connections. Reboot.
2. Double click the saved .reg file on your Desktop and answer Yes to merge it into the registry.
3. Install Access Connections. Reboot.
