Creating computer Names with small letters and they appear as capitals in Active Directory Domain

Hello,
When I try to create computer objects in Active Directory - namely when i change computer name with small letters, in active directory users and computers they appear as capital letters and in DNS console as well.
I know that it's not a problematic issue and technically all goes fine but, i want to know the reason.
Is it possible to change computer name with small letters while joining in the domain and than in AD it appear with small letters also ?
Thanks in advance,

If you are asking about during the client join process, I believe the machines do all caps and you have to accept that as default.  I'm guessing it is a legacy issue for older clients that has hung on such as possibly related to WINS.

  • Creating custom fields for manual entry and fields that gather data from Active Directory

    So I am no SQL developer but I am being asked to do this.. I've spent the last few days researching but cannot find anything related to my particular situation.
    I have made a copy of the following report to add or modify a few columns:
     Hardware 01A - Summary of computers in a specific collection
    So I have 2 questions:
    How do I create a field that will search the "Managed By" tab in the Computer Properties window in Active Directory.
    How do I create a field that can be manually updated for example: "Date Deployed" or "Deployed By: Analyst"
    I understand I need edit this in SQL report builder and think I know how to create the columns. I believe all I am really asking is.. What are the SQL statements I need to write in order to get this to work?
    I'm sure it's not as cut and dry as I hope it to be so I will be standing by to try to answer any further information that you will want to know.
    thanks!

    Before you can accomplish this you need:
    "Managed by" -attribute has to be added to your Active Directory System Discovery, more on this here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693618.aspx
    For "Date Deployed", I'd use a custom Tattoo script in your task sequence to "Tattoo" the installation info in the registry, after that I'd configure the Hardware Inventory to pick that from the registry, more on this here: http://ccmexec.com/2012/08/script-to-tattoo-the-client-registry-during-osd/
    and here: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/reporting-about-the-all-the-different-os-deployment-versions-with-configmgr-2012/
    After those prerequisites, you can start working with SQL reports. More info here: http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/10/29/sccm-2012-reporting-for-dummies-creating-your-own-ssrs-reports/

  • Automator- create file names with creation date and time

    I have photo files that I want to rename with a base name, plus a sequential number, based on the creation date (and ideally time). It appears that Automator does not honor the time of the source file when date stamping a new set of files. If there is anyway to use date + time so I can recreate a date_timestamp in addition to a base filename, that would be great.

    Hi Nikhil_BI_Dev,
    According to your description, you find your report runs properly in BIDS but shows blank after deploying onto report server. Right?
    In this scenario, it might be the issue on retrieving data in SQL 2005. Here is a thread with same issue, please refer to the link below:
    Detail report is blank after deploying
    Reference:
    Using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
    If you have any question, please feel fee to ask.

  • I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

  • My iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud.

    my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud.  Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.

  • I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

    I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

    I experienced this issue as well.
    Background:
    I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
    Solution (summary):
    Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
    Solution (detailed steps):
    Create a new calendar
    On your phone, open the calendar app
    Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
    Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
    Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
    Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
    Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
    Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
    Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
    Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
    Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
    Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
    Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
    From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
    Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
    Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
    If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
    Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
    Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
    At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
    Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
    Post another message to this thread if this did not resolve your problem

  • Hi I created a EPUB with indesign cc and I'm trying to submitted it to iTunes Producer

    Hi I created a EPUB with indesign cc and I'm trying to submitted it to iTunes Producer and only thing that happens is the little wheel keep spinning and spinning and spinning can you help? And is there a way to  decrease the size of my EPUB I'm getting a message saying that it is over 200 MB?

    You haven't said if you're on a mac or PC. I understand that on a PC you can directly open an EPUB. But, as I am on a Mac I need a utility. I use a little app called EPUB Unzip and then to zip it back up you'll need EPUB zip. Just search on Google for them. They are open source (free). Or you can use Sigil to get into the EPUB without unzipping. Sigil is good, but does change the file structure a little bit, and for that reason some people don't like it. For a reflowable EPUB it doesn't matter much. Though I don't think I'd open a fixed layout EPUB with it. Sigil is also open source—it's very easy to use, too.
    You'll also want an EPUB validation app. I use Pagina EPUBcheck 3.01 (open source). Or you can use the free online checker here: EPUB Validator (beta) though it's for SMALL files. I like Pagina because it suggests fixes for errors—even though those fixes may be completely greek to you and me.
    Finally, I really suggest you get a subscription to Lynda.com and watch everything Anne Marie Concepcion has ever done on EPUB. While not the be all and end all, her knowledge is a very good place to start. Lynda.com is $25 per month but you can quit anytime (though um, I haven't, because well it's kind of addicting). So, even if you only use it for a month, you'll learn a ton and it'll be well worth it.
    Lest I sound like some kind of freakin' expert, let me assure you this is a long and painful process, with little help out there for us "non-programmer" types who've been thrown in the lion's den. I am still learning everyday, by my own wits it sometimes seems.  Even today I am learning (most painfully yet) how to program a fixed layout read-abound book by trial and error, because even after BEGGING Adobe ON BENDED KNEES we don't have support for read-aloud and according to insiders hereabout they have NO PLANS to give us that. Yes. I am going to continue to whine about it, frequently.
    It's late, and I've already had a glass or two of wine. (Not that you'd notice. ) Good luck on your journey. (Only 8 more circles of hell to traverse, so I've heard.) 

  • Windows 2003 - create folder name with yesterday's date

  • Odd: Sidebar has my "computer Name with a (3) after it.

    Hi,
    Could someone tell me why in the finder window sidebar that it shows my computer name with a (3) after it?
    "Computername"(3)
    It has been running a little wacky in the last few months.iMac20" iMac 2.1
    Thanks for your input.

    I think this occurs when your network connection fails or changes, and then on re-establishing, the old name lingers on the Mac without being flushed, held in a cache perhaps and so it mistakenly thinks it is another of the same name.
    That yours has a three after it, tends to support this view that the same name has been reconnected for a third time. I don't understand much more than that.
    As JollyGiant says, just edit it back to how it should be.

    Podcasts from Current Tv, since three weeks prior to the Nov 2012 election have had a url problem and cannot be played on my mac mini 2011 with 10.8.2 and the latest Itunes? anyone know why> ? I am in contact with Itunes now and they wanted screenshots of the problem, I can get these current tv episodes with a vpn and my isp says they are not blocking them, but i was surprised that prior to the election they were blocked, ?
    I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • I bougt a new  Macbook pro in 02/26/2013, in  11/25/ 2013, my trackpad become bulging, they exchange the trackpad, but not the bulging battery.  I went there yesterday, with different problem, and they said one screw  came off from the  truckpad again!

    I bought a new  Macbook pro in 02/26/2013 from Apple Canadian Ices -003.  Than I could not use it, because  my cursor uncontrollably  was jumping around the screen, I was  resumed my trackpad become bulging, Than on11/25/ 2013 they changed my trackpad for free, because was manufactoring defect,  but not the bulging battery.  They said that is do not needed.  Since that my cursor is quiet often quivering, I think my Macbook has serious  manufacturing defect. But they said no, during a year period I went to  the genius bar at least 15 times, with this and similar problems.   I went there yesterday, with different problems, and they said one of the screws  came off from my   truck pad, therefore they need to fix it and change it.  I said: -  What,  how, what  is the real problem?  A screw does not comes off just like that?  They will change my trackpad again, but not the battery. They said  has to rebuild the operation system, I'm  saving all of my data right now! I would like to exchange the battery too, or maybe get a new Macbook. My Macbook is 2010 China model. How long I would have this trackpad  problem? What are you suggesting?

    If it's a 2010 as you say towards the end of your post, it's out of warranty. The battery isn't covered in that case. Why don't you just buy a new battery if that's your concern? If it's a 2013 as you say up at the top, it shouldn't have a bulging battery. How do you know it does? If it really does, ask for the store manager and explain the problem.

  • How to create a contract with one supplier and two dealers?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a contract with a supplier (eg. Apple), but the products and services are supplied by two dealers.
    The supplier is the manufacturer and with whom the negotiation of prices is made.
    The dealers are those who make the delivery of the products and services and who the payment is done.
    How can I create a contract with these characteristics in SRM 7.0?
    I don't want to create two contracts with same products and services for two suppliers (Dealer_1 and Dealer_2).
    How can this be handled through business partner type "Vendor"?
    In "Partner" section in "Header" --> "Basic data", I can only add 1 vendor.
    The system is:
    Component software: SRM_SERVER
    Release: 700
    Level: 0008
    Support package: SAPKIBKV08
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Alonso Valenzuela

    Hi Wadim,
    I have a similar requirement to create order lines in an existing contract with reference using  BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE.  The order lines get created in the contract. However, the condition types from the order line which i'm referencing are not getting referenced and are not getting added in the Contract's line after referencing.
    Did you come across any such issue ? If yes , could you suggest the solution ?
