Copy Customized ShortCut into users Desktop - Windows 7

Hi!
I have customized a shortcut and a new icon (its in house web application that we want to force the users to use chrome).
The shortcut is pointing to something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://www.xyz.com/en/classic/login/login
How can I copy the .lnk file to desktop of all Windows 7 users, I have placed the .ico file in the shared network folder.
Thank you.

There are a number of ways, but basically you can just create a shortcut on
your desktop to upload to the server or to a shared location, then copy that
..lnk file down to the folder "${CommonDesktop}" on the workstations.

Push a simple shortcut to users desktop

I am trying to push a shortcut to an Access database to users desktops using NAL. What is the procedure for this. Everything I try fails with a D01C error. I am using Zenworks 6.5 SP2.

Try using the "File Copy" portion of the app to copy the LNK files instead
of trying to make them.

Import a filed value from custom database into User Profile using BCS

Hi,
I have a custom DB in SQL with couple of columns.
I need to import one of the fields (userid) into user profile - custom property.
Please guide me to make it done.
My direction seems wrong..since I am new to user profile-BCS concepts.
I created a custom property in user profile services, while "configure synchronization connections', I clicked on new connection.
Type: Business connectivity services, selected
It needs external content type.
I opened CA through designer, clicked on External Content type, I am able to connect SQLDB and related fields.
But, I am not sure what to be done?? How to make my task completed.
Guide me, somebody, please!!
- GEM

This should create the External Content Type
Open SharePoint Designer
Choose the Site where you want the External Content Type to be created
Under Site Objects -> Click External Content Types
In the Ribbon -> Click External Content Types to create a New one
Provide a name for your ECT
Click ‘Click here to discover external data sources and define operations’
Click Add Connection, under Data Source Type choose SQL Server
Provide the connection properties to your SQL Server
Under Data Source Explorer, Expand the tables folder and choose the table you want to connect to
Right Click the Table Name and create a New Read Item Operation
Under Input Parameters, Select the Primary Key of your table and verify that it is map as the identifier. This is important as this will be the column that will be used to sync BCS data to SharePoint. Click on Finish
Right Click the Table Name again and create a New Read List Operation. Follow the steps on K
OPTIONAL: Once done you can create an external Lists based on the content type to verify if you are able to pull data from your External Source
You can verify if the list is created by going to the site where you have deployed the External List. If you encounter a “Access denied by Business Data Connectivity, you can resolve this by going to Central Administration -> Application Management ->
Manage Service Applications -> Business Data Connectivity Service, choose the External Content Type you have created -> Click Set Object Permissions -> Add the account that your are using and Set ‘Execute & Set Permissions’. Refresh the external
list page.
This will create the connection between the BCS properties and the Custom User Properties which are mapped to BCS.
To create a synchronization connection follow the steps below
Go to Application Management -> Manage Service Application -> User Profile Service -> Configure Synchronization Connections
Click Create new Connection
Provide a connection name for your connection
Under Type, choose Business Data Connectivity
Under Business Data Connectivity Entity, choose the External Content Type created on the BCS Step
Choose the property to identity the 1:1 mapping, this is a unique column that should exist on both the BCS Data and the SharePoint User Profile Properties.
This part will create the Custom User Profile Property to hold the BCS Data
Go to Central Administration
Under Application Management click Manage Service Application
Click User Profile Service Application
Click Manage User Properties then select New Property
Fill the necessary fields
Under Add New Mapping, select the BCS Sync connection you have created above and the field from SQL where you want to map this property
Run Profile Synchronization

How to move iTunes library

There was a change in my desktop drag and drop post Lion update! Cannot drag or download to the desktop per se. It has to go into the desktop window in the finder now?

It is odd: pre update (the latest) I could download to my literal desktop, or drag and drop a photo from iPhoto, an mp3 to mail later from iTunes.....Now I can only do that from within the finder in the "desktop" window. In other words: If I download (I prefer to download onto my desktop rather than the download folder-window. I want to have control over ny desktop again (rather than the folder-window entitled "desktop"....Gratefully, Dennis

Rereading this question which I wrote after a long night makes me dizzy....But I don't know how to express it differently...I have lost my contol of the desktop you see on my iMac screen with all desktop responsibilities now only available via the finder window entitled "desktop".

I don't know which part of those (either the change of UAC settings or the attempting to download/ install the new 64 bit driver). But now when I try to connect via IR, I get "Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application" on my Clie.
3) I was giddy at the thought of a new driver, but it's not working. I'm going to post that questions on that thread, I suppose.

I'm going to work on getting the new driver to work. If not, I'll be back bumping up this thread. Thank you for your suggestions!
ETA: I just undid the UAC settings and now my IR connection works again. My stuff still isn't showing up in Palm Desktop, but at least it *says* it's hotsyincing again via IR.

Custom shortcut to .vbs script has other .vbs files pinning to it as 'Recent' items (Windows 7)

Hi guys,
More of a nuisance this, rather than a major problem, but one I'd like to take care of.
I have a split Access DB on a network drive, where the BE and a 'master' copy of the FE reside. I have multiple users, so for ease of distribution, I have a .bat file (also on the network) which I can distribute to each user when they want to start
using the DB. All the .bat file does is copy a shortcut to the users desktop and Start menu. The shortcut points to a .vbs file on the network.
The .vbs file checks the users local machine, creates some temporary folders if necessary, makes a local copy of the FE and launches it. All nice and neat, with a custom icon on the shortcut so my DB application looks quite professional, and is easy
to find and launch.
However - I noticed the other day that, if I open another .vbs file (completely unrelated to my DB), Windows automatically pins it to the 'Recent Items' list on my custom shortcut on the Start menu. Simply because it is another .vbs file. I don't want any
'Recent Items' to be associated with this shortcut; it should only ever point to my DB and nothing else. I am worried my users will get confused when this random list of scripts grows out of it.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this happening on the end users' machines? Bear in mind - I don't want to block
all 'Recent Items' on their Start Menus - just for this one custom shortcut?
The .bat file (to create the shortcut) is below...
Thanks

Copy a file to all users' desktops.

I want to copy a PDF file to all users' desktops, so I created a GPP to do this and it works if I place the source file, the PDF, on a shared folder.
However, my GPP will span a large network, across half the globe, thus having the PDF on a file server in one location will take a long time to copy to users' workstations in another location. I thus would like to replicate the PDF file along all the DCs
using the NETLOGON folder.
I thus placed the file in the following folder on my local domain controller:
C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\brightstarcorp.com\scripts\APAC\Files for APAC users
In my GPP, I used the following reference for the location of the PDF file:
Source: %logonserver%\NetLogon\APAC\Files for APAC users\APAC IT Support Contact Details final.pdf
Target: %userprofile%\desktop\APAC IT Support Contact Details final.pdf
Is this the correct way to do this?
My GPP is created on a Win2012 server for Win2008 domain controllers and Win7 clients.

When I put this in Explorer on the test machine:
%logonserver%\NetLogon\APAC\Files for APAC users\APAC IT Support Contact Details final.pdf
I get the error:
"Windows cannot access \\MyADServer01\NetLogon\APAC\Files for APAC users\APAC IT Support Contact Details final.pdf"
But when I put this into Explorer"
%logonserver%\NetLogon\APAC\Files for APAC users\
....it opens the folder (replacing the %LOGONSERVER% with the domain controller name "MyADServer01" and displays the file. I can then double-click the file and open it.
Using the DC name or not, with the filename in the Explorer address bar, it will not open the file.

Copy express and user defined windows

Hi All,
I´m using CopyExpress to copy a company A to B with a certain selection criteria.
The content of the user defined windows are in the target company (B) and when adding an entry into the Journal Entry certain fields are populated automatically when saving the entry.
That´s how we expect the system to behave.
But for a certain document serie these same fields are not populated automatically.
Someone has encountered some issues regarging the Journal Entry and Copy Express?
Thanks for your help

The data copied by Copy Express may not be identical. For example, the account code will be different if you use segregated accounts. Some of other internal codes may not be the same either.
Thanks,
Gordon

Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for all users in Windows 7

How can i Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for All Users in Windows 7? Office 2007 Word, Excel and Outlook.

There are a few ways...
You can configure a default profile which will give you the ability to setup the Start Menu as you want it with the items pinned how you like. However, in my experience customizations done to the Taskbar are not maintained in a default profile.
So, one way to get around that would be to create a script and use the "Active Setup" hooks that are built into Windows 7 to achieve the desired results.
If you combine this script...
http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2009/04/08/pin-items-to-the-start-menu-or-windows-7-taskbar-via-script.aspx
With Active Setup...
http://www.visualbasicscript.com/Active-Setup-Examples-m67461.aspx
You can get the results you want to get...
Pinned items on the Taskbar have two components, one is in the file system and the other is in the registry. You could also use GPO Preferences to add both components to a new profile and therby get similar results. I played around with this method a little and did get it to work also.

TS1717 Itunes will not open, it just brings up a user account window which if ok alters shortcuts?

Itunes will not open, it just brings up a user account window which if ok alters shortcuts?

I have followed instructions found elsewhere to do the following:
•“C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove (Note: delete the quotes displayed here and type again using keyboard)
•Navigate to the following folder in Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Bonjour
•Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
•Restart your computer
•Delete the the Program Files\Bonjour folder
All successful, now there is nothing that has anything to do with iTunes , Quictime, Apple Software Update, Bonjuor,...etc on my machine, now what do I install so I can get iTunes to work on Win 7 x 64 bit edition... ?
Thanks,

Users are being logged into the desktop before the mapped drives GPO takes effect

We are using a Group Policy object to map network drives to our users. We are getting reports that the user are being logged into their desktop before the drives are mapped, causing a program that points to the mapped drive to not be able to access
files on that drive. Once the user goes into Computer and double clicks on the drive, they are then able to see the files on the drive and the program is able to access them as well.
We have added another GPO to institute the "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" policy to try to fix the issue, but it has not solved our problem.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Did you check the "reconnect" option?

Copy-n-Paste into Prompt window stopped working

Hi,
Per subject titles, we have a javascript that used to work in CS4 with copy-n-pasting enable but only recently did we noticed copy-n-pasting doesnt work anymore in CS5-CS6. The script itself still runs fine but without the ability to copy-n-paste text into the prompt window does slow us down a bit. Does anyone know the cause and solution?
Thanks!

Doh, wrong section of the forum...this is a question for InDesign CS5-CS6. Can an admin move this to InDesign section please?

When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe

When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe . Tried to search the file through Search also but could not find the file.

That is the Java Quick Starter, a couple of options for you:
# Open the add-ons manager (in the Tools menu select Add-ons)
# In the list of Extensions, click on Java Quick Starter to select it, then click on Disable
When you re-start Firefox that should stop the error.
The second option is to re-install Java. You are using an old version of Java so it is recommended that you install the latest version, available from http://java.com/
