Application installs automatically even when deployed as Available

We just experienced an issue where all of our workstations ran an application deployment even though there wasn't a required deployment to them. We called Microsoft and they told us that we'd need a Premier account to get root cause analysis.
Here's the details:
-Application 2 is in our task sequence that is being advertised to All Systems as available (thru PXE and Boot Media only)
-Application 2 has a deployment type which includes a Supersedence rule to uninstall Application 1
-Application 2 has 2 deployments. A required deployment to a small computer collection of 5 workstations. An available deployment to a small user collection of 5 users.
NOTHING ELSE.. but for some reason all systems ran the deployment type for App2 (which uninstalled App1 - but failed to install App 2). What on earth would have caused this to happen? I'm not concerned that the install failed, I'm just concerned that it
ran the uninstall of App 1 without a required deployment.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

This is something I've seen reported before but not sure if there any definitive statements on the cause but based on your description (and that of others) it seems to be a design flaw or maybe a bug.
Who did you call at Microsoft? CSS?

Can I force my phone to make calls using WiFi, even when wireless is available?

When I was in the UK a couple years ago I could make calls back to USA using WiFi, because the wireless service was incompatible with my phone.
When I was in the Dominican Republic last year, even though I used GrooveIP and Google Voice, I came home to a $400+ wireless roaming bill, I think because the wireless service there IS compatible. So how do I force my phone to make calls using WiFi, even when wireless is available?

Hey there FredW,
A $400 bill would certainly cause my jaw to drop so I absolutely want to provide you steps to prevent this from happening going forward.
To avoid data charges you are going to want to make sure that Data roaming is turned off,http://vz.to/18oRFuS.
You'll also want to disable mobile data,http://vz.to/1hCPg4Q.
When using services such as GrooveIP, Google Voice, Skype you are going to want to make sure that you are connected to WiFi. Here is how to set up a WiFi connection,http://vz.to/II1jP6.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.

When using Acrobat - Adobe Software License Agreement Pops Up - Accept doesn't seem to work - Application then automatically closes when existing the License Agreement pop up - Whats going on?

When using Acrobat - Adobe Software License Agreement Pops Up - Accept doesn't seem to work - Application then automatically closes when existing the License Agreement pop up - Whats going on?

Please try :

Adobe's "accept license agreement" pops up way too much and ruins UX

Observation: SAP uses swap space even when OS has available unused memory

Hi Folks,
   It is my understanding that any memory not used by the Linux OS itself or the SAP application is available for Linux to use for I/O buffers and file caching. When the SAP application requires more memory I would expect Linux to take memory away from itself (release I/O buffer and/or file caching memory).
   We have observed that SAP uses swap space even when there is memory available. Is there some feature in SAP kernel or some ABAP construct that causes SAP to prefer swap space over available memory? Or maybe there is a Linux kernel setting that influences SAP's use of swapping.
Regards,
Zaz

Hi Mike
You did not mention which distribution you have. Under SLES there is is a parameter called SWAPPINESS, which controls the buffering/swapping.
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
If you don't already know, you can see the memory usage with the free command.
root # free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7987       7901         85          0        364       4262
-/+ buffers/cache:       3274       4712
Swap:        15999          0      15999
As far as i know, in this example 3274 is memory used by SAP and other processes and 4712 is cache. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards
Michael
Edit: a low swappines, for example 10 means to reduce cache first, a high swappiness (example 100) means page out processes first

2. There are no results available for job Exporting application htcapp. because an error was encountered while processing the job. See the Job Console or the Event Viewer for more information.Exception:

Does anybody know, why is that?

Application.xml over-written when deploying JDeveloper 10.1.3.2

Hi all,
I created a Web Application that contains JSF, EJB, and Toplink. I have a ViewController project, a Model project, and a Deployment project. The ViewController obviously contains my JSPs, etc, the Model my EJBs and server code, and deployment profiles for each. The Deployment project contains a deployment profile for creating the EAR file for the other two projects.
When the EAR is created (or if I deploy to stand-alone OC4J) the application.xml is generated without an module/EJB tag containing my EJB jar. Therefore when the server starts up it does not find any of my EJBs.
If I manually modify the application.xml in a created EAR file and then deploy it manually, everything works great. So, I tried to create an application.xml file in my Deployment project (and I tried in my ViewController project, too), but it ends up getting over-written and changed to still not have the module/EJB tag. Can someone explain to me how to stop JDeveloper from overriding this file or how to get JDeveloper to include this tag set when creating the application.xml?
Thanks,
Mike

JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 supports J2EE 1.4 in which the web.xml does not include the
<taglib> element. Remove the <taglib> element from the web.xml. Specify the http uri in the <%@ taglib prefix='srp' uri='' %>
Add the taglib JAR file to project libraries.

Orion-application.xml gets overwriten when deploying with admin_client.jar

Hi,
I am trying to deploy an ear in OC4J 10.1.3.3.0. The ear contains a META-INF folder with a application.xml and a orion-application.xml files.
When running the admin-client command line, the deployment overwrittes the orion-application.xml file.
I really don't know how to solve this problem.
What else could I do?

Greetings,
The file orion-application.xml is an oc4j-specific file. If you do not create this yourself it will be created during deployment of your application.

How can I stop Firefox from going to an https url automatically even when I type in http?

The browser is loading https websites even when I type in http. Asking for security certificates, etc. My home page is listed as http:// ....but when Firefox opens it, it is https://
I have changed the autobar fill in abbout:config, but it has had no effect.
The only solution I've seen on the Internet so far is to switch to Chrome, something I'd prefer not to do.
Running the latest Firefox 30
Thanks.

Your homepage is http://news.google.com/ per your system details.
Google has recently started switching everything over to HTTPS, so you may want to check Google help about that.

Applications always transfer even when unchecked in itunes!

I have 2.2.1 firmware and i've just re-installed itunes hoping this would solve my issue, unfortunately it has not. Even though application sync is turned OFF in itunes applications installed from the iphone not itunes always try and transfer to itunes on sync, even though these applications don't ever show up at all in itunes. I've tried un-authorizing my computer then reauthorizing it after a friend suggested this. Syncing takes forever and is really beginning to bug the **** out of me.

This is normal - any applications downloaded and installed by your iPhone are transferred (or should be transferred) to your iTunes library on your computer when syncing the first time afterwards. If you ever need to restore your iPhone with iTunes, you will need to re-download all apps again - either with your iPhone or with iTunes unless all apps are available in your iTunes library on your computer.
The same applies to any music purchased from the iTunes store on your iPhone - these songs will be transferred to your iTunes library when syncing the first time afterwards.

Safari installs ASU even when not selected

I have seen this with iTunes 8, and now with Safari 4, that even though I specifically turned off the option to install Apple Software Update, still gets installed.
So off to Programs and uninstall again.
Does this fly under the radar? not really an option? a "bug"? or just doesn't take "No" for an answer?
I also don't want any extra services, like Bonjour to be installed (and actually not install!) Same for MobileMe (why does Safari need Bonjour again? that's rhetorical).
Seems like any Apple software is really pushing updates; the old problem of downloading other apps isn't happening, but I need to go into msconfig along with to uninstall extra applications and services.

Just installed Safari 4.04 for Windows.
Apple Software Update still installs when option is turned off, shows up in msconfig and Programs folder.
ASU is also found in Programs and Features control panel.
Using Windows 7 "Troubleshoot Compatibility" it shows as an Incompatible Application.
I wanted to troubleshoot someone else's issues with Java, Flash, and BBC.
Safari installs its own Plug-in folder?
Why is that needed? to link to Java? to install its version which was older than current?
Doesn't seem Windows 7 friendly.
Why or what is "Apple Application Support" now listed in Programs?
Bonjour was not installed, in compliance with my wishes that it not be.

These features are most likely result of faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Spotify always starts automatically even when asked not to.

Hello, I am running Windows 7 Professional. Can you please correct the Spotify desktop application so it does not keep forgetting my preference to NOT start when Windows starts. If I set it to "no" in the advanced settings, it conveniently forgets this and starts anyway, at which point upon returning to the settings I find that it has been changed back to "yes" or "minimised". When I said no I meant no - I even removed it using MSConfig but it's still finding a way to start. I want to run it when I want to listen to music, not to have it sitting idle in the background clogging up resources when I'm not using it. Please fix or it's a fast track to uninstall.

After you have changed the preferences to "no" ,try deleting "prefs" file in "user"/AppData/Roaming/Spotify andWhen you run spotify.exe next time it should make a new "prefs" file with your "no" preference in it.

Iphone 4 shuts down automatically even when rebooting with the home and power keys

My iPhone 4 shuts down by itself even though the battery is 40% charged. I tried the two button reboot (home+power key) at the same time, it starts first then it quickly shuts down again.
