AD "Root Path" GPO property as home

Hello,
I have an AD integration question. On our Windows
network the "Root Path" GPO user property is being
used. Can this path be utilized by 10.4.7 as home
dir.?
This GPO seems to have no effect with the "Use UNC
path..." Directory Access setting checked and "Force
local home..." unchecked. What does work however is
hardcoding the "Connect Z: To:" AD property.
Any suggestions much appreciated,
Thank you
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The issue you are likely running into is the fact that OS X does not support DFS shares. You need a third party product (http://www.thursby.com/products/admitmac.html) to pull that off. The closest you can try is to identify which server in the DFS cluster contains the home folder and attempt a direct map to that server. Permissions and inheritance will likely not function, but since this is a home folder you may not care.
Also, I remember the guys from ExtremeZ came up with a fake DFS solution but I can not recall the details.
Hope this helps

How to set FileSystemWatcher powershell script to exclude folders within the root path being monitored?

All,
I want to use a pre-fab script to monitor the OS folders on a Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller and send any changes into the Event Log. But there are two folders in the file path I want to exclude because changes to them would fill up the Event Logs
too quickly. Thus, I want to monitor all folder in C:\Windows but want to exclude C:\Windows\Temp and C:\Windows\debug.
The script I want to use is below.
#This script uses the .NET FileSystemWatcher class to monitor file events in folder(s).
#The advantage of this method over using WMI eventing is that this can monitor sub-folders.
#The -Action parameter can contain any valid Powershell commands.
I have just included two for example.
#The script can be set to a wildcard filter, and IncludeSubdirectories can be changed to $true.
#You need not subscribe to all three types of event. All three are shown for example.
# Version 1.1
$folder = 'C:\Windows' # Enter the root path you want to monitor.
$filter = '*.*' # You can enter a wildcard filter here.
# In the following line, you can change 'IncludeSubdirectories to $true if required.
$fsw = New-Object IO.FileSystemWatcher $folder, $filter -Property @{IncludeSubdirectories = $true;NotifyFilter = [IO.NotifyFilters]'FileName, LastWrite'}
# Here, all three events are registerd. You need only subscribe to events that you need:
Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Created -SourceIdentifier FileCreated -Action {
$name = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Name
$changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
$timeStamp = $Event.TimeGenerated
Write-Host "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp" -fore green
Out-File -FilePath c:\scripts\filechange\outlog.txt -Append -InputObject "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp"}
Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Deleted -SourceIdentifier FileDeleted -Action {
$name = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Name
$changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
$timeStamp = $Event.TimeGenerated
Write-Host "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp" -fore red
Out-File -FilePath c:\scripts\filechange\outlog.txt -Append -InputObject "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp"}
Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Changed -SourceIdentifier FileChanged -Action {
$name = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Name
$changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
$timeStamp = $Event.TimeGenerated
Write-Host "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp" -fore white
Out-File -FilePath c:\scripts\filechange\outlog.txt -Append -InputObject "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp"}
# To stop the monitoring, run the following commands:
# Unregister-Event FileDeleted
# Unregister-Event FileCreated
# Unregister-Event FileChanged
Is there a command line I can use to exclude thos two folders?
Thanks

First, thank you to everyone who has been helping me. I've gotten a little bit further in what I need to do. I still have two problems that I really need help in sorting out:
1. The script will run on Windows 7 with no errors but will not run on a Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller. On the DC, I get an error for the SourceIdentifier: "A parameter cannot be found that mataches parameter name 'SourceIdentifier'."
2. Even though the script runs on Windows 7 with no errors, I tested it by making changes to the Temp and debug folders and the changes were still being recorded in the logs.
A copy of the updated script I am running is below:
#This script uses the .NET FileSystemWatcher class to monitor file events in folder(s).
#The advantage of this method over using WMI eventing is that this can monitor sub-folders.
#The -Action parameter can contain any valid Powershell commands. I have just included two for example.

$Script:excludedItems = 'C:\Windows\Temp','C:\Windows\debug'

Problem with Path Managed property in alternate zones - also we have identified problem with Product catalog in alt zones

Hi All,
I'll start "one step back". Note we have resolved this issue but it is worth mentioning:
Yesterday we set up the product catalog. We were having a lot of inexplicable problems with it initially. After much troubleshooting, we found that it was because we were browsing the SharePoint site via the "Internet Zone" rather than the "Default
Zone" when we "Connected" our site to the product catalog. Issues experienced:
1) "Catalog Item URL Format" displayed error "Properties <Managed Property> specified by the shared catalog could not be found in the search schema" when attempting to connect to the catalog, despite that managed property being
configured correctly. The catalog would connect despite the error, and the navigation worked fine.
2) The search Result Source for the catalog would not return any results. Configuring the query and selecting "Advanced Mode" would show SPSiteURL:http://externalURL.domain.com. Changing SPSiteURL manually to
http://InternalURL resulted in results being returned as expected.
After much troubleshooting, we found that if were browsing SharePoint using the default zone (http://InternalURL) when we connected the Product Catalog, the result source then worked properly (internally and externally).
Ok, so now onto our current problem:
The Product Catalog appeared to be working properly (internally and externally) after figuring out that we needed to connect it from the Default Zone. However, we have found a remaining glitch, which doesn't appear to be Product-Catalog-specific. Consider
the following scenario:
1) We click a category in our Product Catalog, such as Electronics
2) A list of our electronic devices are presented via the "Category" display page
3) If we click on a specific item, a different URL is returned internally vs externally. We only get the friendly managed navigation URL when browsing via the Default zone. And of course totally different pages load based on which URL you get.
Internal (when browsing via Default zone):
http://InternalURL/catalog/PRODUCT-CATEGORY/PRODUCT-NAME
External (when browsing via Internet zone):
http://ExternalURL.domain.com/catalog/Lists/Products/DispForm.aspx?ID=1
We have reviewed the display template, and the "Path" managed property is simply being used to render the link. Furthermore, we have configured the Content Search web part's "Property Mappings" to show the "Path" MP, and it
displays the same (wrong) result externally.
This tells us that the Path MP is not correctly rendering "Friendly URLs" when using managed navigation.
Any help/ideas?
Our environment:
SharePoint Version: 15.0.4667.1000
Default Zone: http://InternalURL
Internet Zone: http://ExternalURL.domain.com
We are NOT using host named site collections
We ARE crawling the Default zone URL in our content source
Thanks,
Tommy

Hi,
We have now also observed the same issue with a Managed Property of type “Hyperlink/Picture”. The picture returns the wrong URL externally.
This post describes the same issue, however the poster found that setting UseAAMMapping=True doesn’t work in 2013:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/104806/set-the-useaammapping-property-of-a-managedproperty-object-map-an-url-of-a-h
We checked, and our Picture MP had UseAAMMapping=False. We set it to True, did a full crawl, and see no change in behavior. Path already had UseAAMMapping=True.

Flex mobile project: web root and root path for a remote web service?

Hi all,
i'm trying to set up the testdrive tutorial for flex mobile project, with flash builder 4.5
and php data.
I've uploaded the files on my remote web space (e.g. http://mywebsite.org, and the
test file is http://mywebsite.org/TestDrive/test/test.php... and it works
correctly)... But when i'm setting properties of the project, i don't know what
to write into the web root and root path fields... I thing root path is simply
http://mywebsite.org... and whatever i write in the other fields (output folder
too) i have errors when i click on "validate configuration"...
What should i put into those fields? is zend framework (and gateway.php)
strictly necessary?
As you can see... i'm a bit confused....
Many thanks for any help
Bye

How can I use a weblogic server's root path in an XML?

Hi all,
I hope I posted this to the correct newsgroup...
Anyway, I have a question about getting a Weblogic (9.2) server's root directory in an XML config file. I'm trying to use a log4j.xml file to set up a logger for my application, but when I use just the file name in the "file" parameter for the Appender, the logger writes the file to the domain directory. I'm avoiding hard-coding of the server path because the deployment system's configuration may be different than mine.
So, is it possible to get the server's root directory in an XML config file?
Thanks for the help!

By the way, here's the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
<appender name="mibLogFile" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
    <param name="File" value="mib_application.log" />
    <param name="DatePattern" value=".yyyy_MM_dd"/>
    <param name="Append" value="true"/>
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p %m%n"/>
    </layout>
</appender>
<root>
    <level value="info"/>
    <appender-ref ref="mibLogFile"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>I tried using "$WL_ROOT/logs/" at the start of the file name, thinking that $WL_ROOT would work for the env variable for the server root path. But it doesn't exist, and I don't think I'll have access on the deployment server to add any environment variables, so I was hoping to use something native to Weblogic. Any thoughts??

The root path of location OUTPUT_FILE_DIR

The root path of location OUTPUT_FILE_DIR must be specified as one of the file paths for the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter in the init.ora for the runtime instance. The root path of location OUTPUT_FILE_DIR must be a file path on the server.
give me some hints

Sorry, what is the context of "location OUTPUT_FILE_DIR"?

Root path links and tomcat

Hi!
I'm using tomcat 5.5 and I made a simple webapp:
tomcat_dir/webapps/myapp
I'm using root paths when refering to images, docs, servlets, and so within myapp (servlets, jsp, html, etc.)... For example:
<img src="/myapp/imgs/pic1.jpg" ...>
<form ... action="/myapp/servlets/sendMail.do">
request.getRequestDispatcher("/es/thanks.jsp");all this root path links works fine whenever I'm running my web app from localhost (http://localhost/myapp/index.html) but whenever I running it from internet (http://myapp.mydomain.com) I can't get the web app to work, instead I get the glamorous HTTP 400 error
What do I'm doing wrong? I've tried using relative paths and myapp works both localhost and internet way... but what do i need to do to use root paths?
thx

when u are getting error code 400, pls notice what the url has formed...copy and paste it here inthis forum..

Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine

Hi,
i have an issue with using a LabVIEW interop assembly in a .NET application. I get an exception "Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine" when calling the assembly.
The little test program is attached below. It's called dotNETHost.exe. If you excecute the programm a dialog with an button appears. Clicking the button shall open another dialog (the LabVIEW Interop component). But the only thing I get is the exception message. The ZIP folder also contains the complete exception meassage (ExceptionMessange.jpg & ExceptionDetails.txt).
The Interop Assembly was built with LabVIEW 2011. We use Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0.. The dotNETHost.exe.config file is prepared as mentioned in Knowledge base - Loading .NET 4.0 assemblies.
The Interop assembly contains only one simple dialog (loop is finished by clicking OK) without calling any other VIs or other DLL's. In case of this there's also no support directory generated by the build process.
I have no idea why it doesn' work. I hope anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance
Kay

This may be unrelated, but Labview and .Net4.0 dont work well together. Not yet anyway. I had to compile my assembly in 3.5 to get it to work.

MDM syndicator, Root path is disabled

Hi
I have created xsd version of my repository and in the MDM syndicator, Root path is disabled.
should I have to create xsd root file or how can I do that
thanks
Manian

Hi Manian,
if your root path is disabled, i.e. you cannot select any, when you are specifying your schema file, then most likely there is an error in the xsd file. Try to validate it again.
Otherwise, if you refer to the mapping part:
1. You set up "XML File Output" to "Multiple Files" in the Map Properties, then you do not need the root element anyway.
2. You set up "XML File Output" to "Single File" in the Map Properties, then you need to specify a repeatable node name. If this is supposed to be your root, then you need to specify another root node in the xsd.
Best regards
Christian

Get Root Path

Hello All,
I run the following code on my computer but, return me the location of JRE and not the root path of program?
public class GetRootPath {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String path = ClassLoader.getSystemResource(".//").toString();
          System.out.println(path);
The output is : file:/C:/Programs/Java/jre1.5.0_06/lib/ext/X86//
as you know this should return the root path not the JRE location,
i run that code in another machine and it work properly, so
why it did not work on my machine?
any one know, how i can resolve this problem?
thanks!

This will print the current working directory

Hi Markus,
I think that my problem is not completely solved.
In fact, now the IDES system is on , but I'm not able to login into it.
When I select UED system on menu of my JAVA GUI and press "connect button", I can't access to SAP login window. (see )
I'm sure that is not a "network problem" of my laptop. (the problem persist also with others SAPGUI).
I've tried to <b>reboot</b> the server, but the situation is always the same. No way to access into the system, popup "connecting" reman.
If I try to see process that are running in the server, via "top -u uedadm" command, this is the situation:
