Computer ID and inventory continuity
Hi guys,
I have some questions about computer identification - does anyone can tell me how ZCM recognize computer ID and what is that unique ID for the computer? Is that GUID and only GUID?
My potential customer asked me about it, and i'm concidering about possibility of combine GUID with MAC address, for example - ZCM can do this?
Thats important for him, let's discus about scenario- he wants to have continuity in inventory. For example, he has a computer with Windows XP and that computer is invetoried and managed by ZCM, then he updated that Windows XP to Win Vista, 7, or whatever - the question is - is that possible to "update" informations about this computer in zone, in ZCM, without creating a new workstation object? He wants to have information in device's history about changing OS from Windows "X" to Windows "Y" and have all of this info in one workstation object, that's why im asking about combination of GUID and MAC, for example.
Regards,
P.
GUID is the Unique Identifier.
Mac, Machine Name, and Serial Number can be used by ZCM to automatically
keep a Physical Device linked to a GUID between Re-Images, HD Failures,
OS Upgrades etc.. etc..
The process of keeping a device linked is "Reconciliation" and there are
settings controlling this in the ZCC.
It is also possible to manually use "zac reg" to register a PC to a
specific device in the ZCC.

I recently upgraded toSnow Leopard, after that I was given a continual message that I had to reinstall my Internet Cleanup. So I did. Then I turned my computer off and now it will not turn on at all. Help!
See if your Mac will boot from the install DVD.
Then uninstall Internet Cleanup.

I get this message: This computer’s local hostname “x-8.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “x-9.local” I have turned off sharing and it continues to upgrade name. What is the fix?
Hi, this is a common problem, mostly just irksome though.
It can have many cause, like using more than one Interface for connections, Router temporarily losing x.local & seeing a new connection with x.local already used, insists it must be x-1.local, x-2.local, etc..
What all Sharing do you have enabled?
Some possible fixes...

After disconnected all the computer peripherals and trading computer desks, today I can't get the two LaCie external drives to mount. They were working yesterday, but not without problems. The 1T is hooked up for Time Machine, and it ran continually yesterday. Today it isn't mounting. The 4T showed on my mac desktop, but an error message stated it wouldn't mount. I'm not super computer savvy and really need some help. Also, the 2T g-drive is working without any problems. My iMac is an older 2008 24" aluminum model. It has been working well, but gets very hot in back. What should I try now?
How have you been connecting these drives to your iMac? USB?
Have you connected them back to your iMac the same way they were connected before? Including making sure they have the power they need?
If all the connections are just as before, and all the drives have the power they need, have you tried shutting down your iMac and starting it up from a cold start?
If you still have trouble I would ask whether you shut everything down correctly before disconnecting/unplugging/powering-down the drives. Unfortunately, it is possible that some of the drives were not disconnected or whatever in the proper manner, and, so, have become corrupted. (I'm hoping not, for your sake. However, even if so, such can be recovered, but it will take more expertise than you seem to claim for yourself.) -
The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.) -
I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for Premiere. I dont have any other serial numbers. What do I do???
Static_Unit
I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
Thanks.

Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
I have an iMac that meets system requirements. I have downloaded CS4 from Adobe and when I try to install it says "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance." This happens while it is checking the system profile. I have read many forums and tried the following:
Re-downloading the software
Moving the download to an external drive to install
Deleting all Adobe programs on my computer
Clearing all caches
Installing in safe mode
Verifying the disk
Creating a new administrator and then installing
Attempting to re-install after the error
None of these options have seemed to make a bit of difference. If there is another option could someone please share? Adobe said they will not ship actual discs although I own the program. They have yet to be able to help me when I have called.
Thank you in advance for any help!cs4 wasn't designed for that os, System requirements | CS4, Point Products

Itunes updated on my pc and laptop and now I cannot open the program on either one. Running Windows 7 on both. Error number 7 and R6034 continue to pop up. I have uninstalled (6 times) all of the Apple programs, rebooted, reinstalled, etc. as badgerfan1101 posted but cannot open it on either computer. I even did a restore to an earlier date with hopes that would solve the problem. Any other ideas? Been working on this for 4 hours
Hey gardenqueen1,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.

My computer failed and the main drive had to be formatted but all my music was on a separate internal hard drive. So I downloaded the latest iTunes , problem is it has found all my songs but seems to not recognize half of the album data, half of the artists, all of the dates and all ratings data.
I had a large part of it backed up on DVD's but it does not want to recognise them either?
