Bit Locker Implementation in Windows 8.1 machine using Windows server 2008 r2 server group policy.

is it possible to enable the bit locker only for windows 8.1 machines through windows 2008 r2 server group policy ?
Thanx and Regards,
Shanif

Hi Shanif,
Yes, we can do this.
Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.
Cannot Save Recovery Information for Bitlocker in Windows 7
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office. How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows? Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?

You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

HP 4250TN Drivers on Windows Server 2008 Print Server

Hi:
I'm having a heck of a time with HP 4250 printers installed on a Windows Server 2008 printer server. First I used the PCL6 driver downloaded from HP site. But then after client computers install printer they cannot print from Acrobat in landscape orientation. Also, whenever I select Printer Properties on the server Windows responds that the print drivers are not installed, asking if I want to install them. My client machines are a mix of XP, W7 32-bit and W7 64-bit. I switched to the PCL5 driver on the server, which fixed the Acrobat landscape issue, but now none of my XP clients can install the network printer, even when browsing to the PCL 5 driver for XP as downloaded from HP's site (I have not had success installing the x86 drivers on my 64-bit printer server).
I can install the 4250 on an XP machine w/direct TCP/IP port using PCL 5e driver but then I defeat purpose of print server.
Any suggestions on easiest driver/print server installation/cfg. is greatly appreciated!

32-bit Application stops working on Windows 7 Enterprise machine after Windows is restarted

Hello,
We have a legacy 32-bit application that we distribute that was built with Microsoft's Visual Basic 6.0. I have installed this application on many versions of Windows up to and including Windows 8.1 with no issues.
Recently we provided the application to one of our end users who is running Windows 7 Enterprise on multiple laptops. They are able to install the application and run it without issues until the machine is restarted. After the machine is restarted
the icon for the application changes to the standard Windows EXE icon and when they attempt to start the application they get the Windows message box: "The version of this application is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running....".
From the research I have done, this error would only apply to trying to run a 16-bit application or if you are trying to run a 64-bit application on a 32-bit version of Windows, neither of which is the case here.
It also quite odd that they are able to install and run the application with no issues until Windows is restarted, and this has been verified on multiple of their machines. The icon change is also quite odd.
If anyone can provide any information regarding this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Measure performance of windows 8 machines using windows Performance Toolkit (WPR tool)

I want to create performance baseline for windows 8 machines(like time to winlogon, time to desktop and total boot time etc.). For this I used windows performance toolkit - WPR tool to record or log performance data(using boot scenario) into log file(.etl). I
opened generated ETL file using WPA(windows performance analyzer), in processes section, always I am able to see winlogon.exe and explorer.exe time more than 2 minutes on different machines. when I did it for windows XP(using xperf) machine
winlogon.exe always showing as less than 30 seconds.
Can you please let me know, how I can get correct data for following tasks using WPR tool:
1) Time to Winlogon(winlogon.exe)
2) Time to Desktop(explorer.exe )
3) Total Boot time
4) Time to Outlook Start
5) Time to Full Outlook Load

Anyone have idea about how to get correct performance data for tasks using windows performance toolkit(WPRUI)?

By "Novell 6" do you perhaps mean NetWare 6 (Novell is the company not
the product)? Does "6" imply 6.0 or 6.5? The latter is more suited to
being virtualised.

How to implement a dual booting PXI system using windows 7 and labview RT

Good Day
My name is Mariano Ocana from the University of Manitoba, and I want to implement a dual system using windows 7 and labview RT in a PXIe-1082 chassis with a PXIe-8102 embedded controlled (the chassis came with windows 7 installed). What are the steps to use both systems (windows and RT) in the same chassis?, in the NI help comes an example implementing a dual system using windows xp and RT, it is the same procedure?.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Regards
M. Ocana

Greetings, Mariano.
The real issue you have to contend with is whether or not you have a LabVIEW RT license. If the 8102 controller was purchased Windows-Only, you likely do not have a license to run LabVIEW RT on the controller - you can purchase one, I think it's about $500, and at that point you can request a LabVIEW RT Configuration CD (that's not what it's called, but the sales guy will know what I'm talking about). The Config CD is a CD that will partition your controller correctly with both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems (in the appropriate way) to allow you to run Windows 7 and LabVIEW Real-Time on the controller correctly. Once done, you can then switch within the BIOS between LabVIEW Real-Time and Windows in order to dual-boot.
Either way, you likely need to contact NI sales to either purchase an RT license (if one was not received at the time of purchase) or to request a Configuration CD (it might also be called a dual-boot install CD or similar).

Windows To Go Device using Windows Technical Preview

I have successfully made a Windows To Go Device by the steps in this Technet forum post:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6991.windows-to-go-step-by-step.aspx
Note: I used a host machine running Windows Technical Preview already to make this device, since older versions (Windows 8/8.1) of DISM don't work for imaging Windows Technical Preview Installation.
Everything works fine. The device on which Windows To Go is running is a high-speed USB 3.0 HDD, so there is no significant performance difference. However, while updating to the new build 9860, the upgrade fails stating that you can't install it to a USB
Flash Drive.
Question 1) Does this problem has anything to do with the fact that I am NOT using the enterprise version of Windows Technical Preview, the only version which "technically" supports Windows To Go feature.
Question 2) My host machine (which I used to create Windows TP) has been updated to Build 9860. Should I use DISM to capture the image of this updated build and use it to image the WTG HDD device? Can I get detailed instructions on how to do this?

Hi G.One1,
In current time, there is no direct way to perform the upgrade, in both Native Boot to VHD and Windows To Go.
I was thinking a way to create a ISO file also, but the method would be a bit of complicated.
Here is my thought and steps.
First, if we update our Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise to 9860 build, we would get a install.esd file, in Windows 8.1, here is a tool called update advisor, which would
convert the esd file to ISO file, but in Windows 10 Technical Preview, there is no such thing. So my thought is to use the install.esd to create an install.wim or bootable ISO file.
In my first thought, I want to sysprep an updated OS, but it failed without doubt. So, I choose to use Reset option. Install.esd would be recognized a compressed install.wim.
I copy the install.esd to a 9841 build OS, for example, I copy it to C:\RecoveryImage, and run
reagentc.exe /setosimage /path C:\RecoveryImage /target c:Windows /Index 1 , it cannot reset the Windows OS.
I use Reset option in 9860 build OS, when it is finished, run sysprep, it ran well, I can capture 9860 build wim file (WDS server capture or dism command). We rename it as install.wim.
Use the captured install.wim to set recovery image in 9841 build(copy install.wim to C:\RecoveryImage, and run
reagentc.exe /setosimage /path C:\RecoveryImage /target c:Windows /Index 1), 9841 build succeed upgrade to 9860 build via Reset and Refresh options.
For Windows To Go, Yes, you can use all Windows features with your Windows To Go workspace. The only currently unsupported features are using the Windows Recovery Environment and PC Reset &
Refresh. So this way is not appropriate in your situation. But here we use these steps can convert the install.esd to install.wim, and use reset and refresh option to upgrade current build.
Refresh would upgrade without losing setting and data. For your scenario, use dism to apply 9860 install.wim would be your option.

Trying to zip / compress a file in Windows Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 server

Hi,
We are trying to zip / compress a xml file that has been created by retrieving data from SQL Server 2008 R2 database running on Windows Server 2008.
To compress this file, we cannot use any external softwares like 7-zip or WinZip.
So, we would like to know if there is any windows default compression tool that works on command line to compress the file?
As this is a live server we cannot apply any other softwares.
Please suggest any ways to do it in Windows Server 2008 machine.
Thanks & Regards
Kalyan

Hello Kaylan,

Failed to revert to VSS snapshot on the virtual hard disk '\\?\Volume{0f7b010b-f397-11e0-a76b-002655db9b10}\' of the virtual machine | Using HYPER-V 2008 R2

Hi,
I got this error on one of the VM (web server) backed up usng HYPER-V 2008 R2 and when I looked up, there is an microsoft hotfix for the same issue.
Microsoft KB Hotfix:
A backup of virtual machines fails when you use the Hyper-V VSS writer to back up virtual machines concurrently on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971394
But, the VM (web server) is running Windows 2008 R2 - SP1.
Hotfix says - To apply this hotfix, your computer must be running one of the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Does it mean it does not apply to Windows 2008 R2 | SP1 ?
When I checked the :
Swprv.dll version, it was higher than the one mentioned in the hotfix.
Thanks for any help.
-Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
I am assuming that the VM(web server) is using SQL .
Please try to disable SQL Server VSS Writer in services.msc , then retry WSB again .
Hope this helps

Windows Time Server setting not following group policy

I hardly use group policy, except for two settings:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Exclude directories in roaming profile
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Windows Time Service\Configure Windows NTP Client & Enable Windows NTP Client
The first setting has worked perfectly for years, but the second one seems to have stopped working, in that the time on client PCs has become out by several minutes. The client PCs are running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Following is the result under [TimeProviders] when I run W32TM /query /configuration:
On the server:

Can anyone help me to fix this please so that the client PCs sync their time correctly with an NTP server?

Hi,
>>but the second one seems to have stopped working, in that the time on client PCs has become out by several minutes. The client PCs are running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Does this happen to all clients in our environment? For group policy, we can run command
gpresult/h gpreport.html with administrative privileges to collect group policy result to have a check. Besides, we can check event logs in Event Viewer to see if some related events were logged.
Here, we can try to resync time with domain by following the steps described in the article below.
Configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758905(v=ws.10).aspx

ECC 6/MS Windows Server 2008/SQL Server 2008 Upgrade

I am working with a client who wishes to do an ECC upgrade from ECC 5 to ECC 6. They also wish to upgrade the Op System from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008; and the database from MS SQL 2005 to MS SQL 2008.
My proposal is to Upgrade ECC, then the Op System then the DB in each environment before moving forward. We would do the first upgrade in Sandbox to determine timing, issues, etc. We would create a production support path to be used during the project, then start the upgrades Dev-QA-Prod.
The client has said that this is a risky approach and that SAP recommends a 2 step process, that is, upgrade ECC 6 thru all environments and then go back and do the Op Sys and Db upgrades afterward.
In my mind my approach is less risky as we will ensure each environment is clean and functioning smoothly before moving forward; there is less intrusion to the end user; testing is only accomplished once in each environment. The actual production build would be split over 2 weekends, app upgrade first then op sys and db.
The assistance I need to understand isu2026.does SAP have a recommendation in this case? I have not seen anything that says not to do the single step process I am recommending.
Thanks for any support you can provide.

Hi,
If SAP is recomending that is because They recomends not to "mix" upgrades with any other process like Heterogeneous system copies, DB upgrades, etc. In fact this is in the upgrade guides. But I think like some others here has already writen, that you could upgrade and change OS and SQL server in two different steps but in the same process so the downtime will be longer but it will be only one.
Of course this will depend on how long your upgrade downtime will take because usually the upgrade could take 7 hours more or less, post upgrade tasks, export task (R3load), change OS and SQL server if not using different HW, import task and post copy tasks.
What is the maximun downtime your client is ready to tolerate? If you have a whole weekend beginning from friday afternoon and ending Monday morning probably you will have enough time to do all in one weekend but again, it will depend on your tests. Why don´t you talk to your client and tell them if they have new HW already for this project to do a Prod copy in one of those servers as part of the whole project and take the times you will need. Then with that in perspective you could decide what approach is better.
With some upgrades done under my belt to different clients I don´t assure anything until I do a test upgrade including all changes (os or DB) necesary to finish time schedules, then with that in mind then we can redefine the way we will use and we make that clear before the beginning of the project. I always tell them that it is better to do a test like this if they don´t have much available downtime, the project will take longer but for sure the Production downtime will be shorter.
