Cannot restore BKF files in Windows 7 - show stopper

I've yet to see a way of restoring BKF files backed up from Windows XP, into Windows 7.
Pretty annoying when MS say to use NTBackup to backup your files on Windows XP prior to installing Windows 7.
I delayed going from Windows XP to Windows Vista as I wanted to see what Windows 7 was like. Unfortunately without being able to restore my files, I'm going to have to ditch the RC and go back to WinXP. And hope that MS come up with an approach for properly migrating from WinXP to Win7. Otherwise, good ol' WinXP may have a few years left in it yet.
And sad thing is apart from that, everything else was going well.
Fingers crossed!!
Hi Mitch
Restoring files from the older NTBackup is not supported in Windows 7. There was a program released for Windows Vista that allowed restoring files backed up with NTBackup in Windows XP, but this restoration utility depended on the Windows Removable Storage Manager which is not included or compatible with Windows 7.
The only suggestion I can make is that if you have or know someone who has either a Windows XP or Windows Vista system, use that system to restore the files and then simply copy them to external media and then move them to your Windows 7 system. Here is a link for your convenience.
Download details: Windows NT Backup - Restore Utility for Windows Vista
Hope this helps.
Thank You for testing Windows 7

The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.

Hi All,
I am on MDM 5.5 SP6.
I am getting the following error message when trying to logging in to the DM.
The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.This application will now exit.
Runtime Error :
Program C :\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Data Manager\Datamanager.exe
R6025.
-Pure virtual function call.
And in console also the MDM server is stopped after getting the above error message.
Can anybody tell me what could be the problem?
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hi Sireesha,
According to me, there can be 3 problems,
1. Kindly check whether the MDM server is stopped. If it is, then restart the MDM Server and Load the repository with Update indices.
2. If this error is coming with every repository, the problem will be either in the Version mismatch of the Server and the GUI's you are using. Kindly ensure that the versions for the MDM server and the MDM Gui's Match.
3. If only Data manager Client is giving the problem, then you can un-install and install the DM GUI again.
Along with this, please refer to the link below :
[[The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.;]
Hope it helps.

Windows 2k8R2 - Receiving Error when logging in ( MMC Cannot open the File: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

Windows 2008 R2 - I just started receiving this when i log in, and also when i try to manage the machine:
MMC Cannot open the File:
C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc
This may be because the file does not exist , is not an MMC console , or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
This always worked before, and works for other users just not me on this particular box. This is a production box and i need a resolution quick please. Thanks in advance.

Has the system update readiness tool been run without error?

Then check the %SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log file for errors.
You can also try creating a new MSC

Hi,
Looks like your mmc dll is corrupted, with your install and uninstall of software.
Two Options:
1. Upgrade the Kernel with latest Patch level, which comes with new SAPMMC.dll file
OR
2. Just download the SAPMMC*.sar file from service market place and extract in exe directory, since it is windows re-booting the server doesn't hurt.
Hope this helps. points are welcome.

'MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC'

Hi
When I try and run SAPMMC on the desk top I get the error :
'MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC'
this is because the file does not exists, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of the MMC'
I have full permissions on this server, has anyone seen this error before?
The file C:\Windows\SAPMMC.MSC does exist, infact there is a .1, .2, .3 and .4 version in C:\Windows.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I fixed this problem. I had to turn off the browser virtualization feature in Zone Alarm Extreme Security. This wiped out all of the Firefox settings, but I had bookmarks, etc. backed up. (answered by original poster)

Cannot see zipped files in Windows Explorer

I used the code below to create a zip file. When I use Winzip to open a zip file named test.zip, I can see all the files (a.txt, b.class, etc.) that have been zipped. But, when I double-click on the test.zip in Windows Explorer (Windows XP Professional), I cannot see any of the zipped files.
Can someone give me some pointers?
import java.util.*;
import java.util.zip.*;

public class CreateZip
     public CreateZip()
     public void createZipFile(String[] all_array, String zipfilename)
          FileOutputStream pout; // declare a file output object

          String file_path = "D:\\Docs\\FedPlanner\\";
try
pout = new FileOutputStream(file_path + "FedPlanner_Zip_log.txt");
p = new PrintStream( pout );
               for (int i = 0; i < all_array.length; i++)

I have never created a zip file using Java . But from what i know about Winzip and Window Explorer, here's my takes on it:
1. Winzip works with severals different compression algorithm 9including their own)
2. Winzip has the ability to display the content of the zip file (if the zip file happens to be one of the compression algorithm they supported....otherwise, it's highly unlikely, winzip can even open the file)
3. Window Explorer does not call Winzip to display the content of Winzip file. rather, Window Explorer has its own utility to look into the Winzip for files and display them. Note: they probably only do this for the popular compression algorith (such as Winzip .zip, probably .tar...but highly doubtful of the one that Java use to make a zip file).
So..it's probably Window Explorer does not supports display that compression algorithm (the one Java use) for a Winzip file.
Example...you created a new format for an image call .mypics
Window Explorer can display a thumb nail for .bmp, .jpeg, and quite a few other
You created an application to display the image. Now..in Window Explorer, when you click on the icon, the thumbnail of the pic is not display...this is because Window Explorer does not have a util to do thumbnail for that format.

Restoring bkf files in Server 2012

I am wondering if anyone has found a tool to restore a bkf file in Server 2012.
The hotfix released for Server 2008R2 that enables you to restore a backup made using in ntbackup in Server 2003 does not work.
I have tested using xcopy which will work but will take far longer than doing a backup of a server and restoring to a new server.
I have reached out to Microsoft reps to see if there are plans to create a hotfix for Server 2012 but am not getting much of a response.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Same Problem here
i could open some of the archives with 7-zip, everthing else is shareware ~90$

Restore VHDX file on Windows server 2012

I took back of my windows 2012 physical server and the file it created is in VHDX format. I have the backup file copied to another location. Now i completely wiped off the array on this server, re-created the arrays in the same form like before. Now how
do i get my bare metal server restored to previous state using VHDX file? This is very confusing , there is no proper documentation on how to back and restore physical servers. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Do you copy the whole WindowsImageBackup folder to another location? You can’t do a complete restore from the VHDX file, you must keep the “XML”, “Backup<date> <time>”,”Catalog”, ”SPPMetadataCache” and “MediaId” files together to do a complete restore.
For more detailed information, please see:
Restore when I don't have the whole WindowsImageBackup folder?

Cannot search PDF file contents - Windows 7 32 bit - Adobe Acrobat X

Hello,
If this is in the wrong forum please move it.
I work in an enterprise environment and our systems are having trouble searching file contents in Windows Explorer using Acrobat X and Windows 7 32 bit. The files are on a mapped network location.
After removing all adobe products from a test machine and reinstalling the Acrobat 10.0.0 software the windows explorer search function seems to work locally but once I install Acrobat 10.1.anything update, it will fail. It never worked on a networked location.
I have also tried installing Adobe Acrobat 11.0.00 after removing 10.0. Then I made sure my indexing settings were setup to index files and contents and made sure the .pdf extension was selected under file types.
I then created a mapped drive to the network location, and setup my indexing to the folder on that network drive. I was able to do this by installing this Microsoft Add-in that allows use of UNC paths in the indexing.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=3383
Once I set this up, I rebuilt my index and restarted the computer. This is where it gets weird. I can now search the contents of PDF files in this indexed network location, but only by one letter. Searching "c type:pdf" will produce results, but "co type:pdf" will not. I know for sure some of the documents have the work Comment in there so this should should up.
Does anyone have experience getting this to work correctly with the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat X or XI and Windows 7 32 bit? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I will never understand why but in the end I rebuilt my 32 bit dell laptop from scratch and the pdf files can now be searched.
I cannot search them on a mapped drive as I was able to with Windows XP because now they must be indexed and windows 7 will seems not to allow a mapped location to be indexed which must be done to make the pdf files searchable so I have had to move the files to the local drive.
My Windows 7 64 bit systems can search the mapped drives just fine without needing to be indexed. Again I will never understand why this works and the 32 bit machine does not.
