CS5, Windows 7, and Guests Group

Due to security policies and the functionality of automatically deleting profiles on logout, we are required to put all Domain Users into the local Guests group. Effectively this is all of our users. In the past using Windows XP and Vista we have not experienced any problems with software by putting our users in the Guests group. With the release of the CS5 Suite it appears a check is being made at startup to see if the user starting the software is a member of Guests and if they are it will refuse to start.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to disable this check? Both CS3 qand CS4 Suites worked just fine and we literally have hundreds of applications that are running with these settings. The only softwar that is throwing and error is the Adobe CS5 Suite.
Thank you in advance.

You might get a better response by asking in the Suites forum.

CS5, Windows 7 and the 'OPEN WITH' command fails

I am having an 'issue' with the OPEN WITH command under Windows 7.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (fully updated) edition and my system meets all of the advertised Adobe requirements.
If I open Photoshop CS5 (64-bit); it will work OK and as expected in all cases. However, if I right click on a .jpg file (or any other graphic file) and select, OPEN WITH, then select Photoshop CS5 from the list, Photoshop appears to be trying to run, then the system reports that it has failed to open. Yet, if I open Photoshop first, then open the file from within the prog, it opens OK and Photoshop works as expected.
Has anyone else come across this behaviour ... and more importantly, does anyone know what is the cause of this and how to resolve the issue ??
Many thanks.

Nope, when I right-click a JPEG, Open With, Photoshop CS5 results in Photoshop CS5 x64 starting and the image opening.
I tested it with both Photoshop not running and with Photoshop already running.
I have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.
You say the system reports an error... Have you looked in the Windows System Event Log (or Application Event Log)? More information may be provided there.

CS5 MAC OS - CS5 Windows

I currently own CS5 MAC OS and have never installed it on my computer knowing that I was going to upgrade my computer. I have decided on a new computer that has Windows 8. Can I exchange my CS5 MAC OS version for the CS5 Windows? and is CS5 compatible with Windows 8?
Thanks

No, you can only swap current versions. You would have to upgrade to CS6 or go Creative Cloud. In the latter case the platform switch would be a moot point, anyway. Otehrwise refer to this:

Is there a way to use Sync to restore the windows and tab groups I had on my previous computer?

I recently set up a new computer. Signing into Sync restored my bookmarks but not my Firefox windows and tab groups. I can get a LIST of "Tabs From Other Devices" to show up, but what I want to do is to restore the session from my previous computer. Is it possible to do this with Sync? I thought that this was supposed to be one of the things it was for.

You can copy the sessionstore.js file in the current Firefox profile folder to an USB stick and copy that file to the profile folder on the other computer.

Windows 8 and CS5/CS6

Hi
I'm buying a laptop for my son who uses either CS5 or CS6. Could someone please tell me if there are any issues with installing and running either on a laptop running Win 8. The laptop we are looking at is a gaming one which has a dedicated graphics card, and 16gb RAM. I have reviewed the forum content and have been able to isolate two key items being the graphics card and how to install...
What graphics cards are compatible? this seems to be the bioggest issue with Win8????
Does anyone know of any graphics cards that are known not to be compatible? (sometimes a card may still be ok even if it is not on a list of compatible ones)
He would need to install the app under the compatability mode option - am I right?
Has anyone identified any other issues??
Thanks everyone!

Ideally there should be no issue running either on a Windows 8 system. CS6 is the most recent version and been tested and confirmed to be compatible with Windows 8. CS5 will work but you might have to use the compativility mode. If you search this forum using the Ask A Question field at the top of the forum page, and enter CS5 Windows 8, you will find several results supporting it.
As far as the graphics card goes, I am not tech savvy enough to answer beyond remembered hearsay, but I believe a gaming graphics card is one of the better choices all around.

Windows 8 and IE10 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy

We have recently introduced a couple of Windows 8 computers in our network, and we are having issues applying the Internet Explorer Proxy Server settings.
We use a Microsoft TMG 2010 server as our proxy server for accessing the internet.
We have been using a GPO with the following settings to automatically configure our Windows 7 computers running IE9 with the appropriate Proxy settings:
User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Connection/Proxy Settings
“Enable Proxy Settings” : Checked
“Address of proxy” : server.domain.local
“Port” : 8080
“Use the same proxy server for all addresses” : Checked
“Exceptions” : Here we have a list of several internal or partner sites that should not be proxied.
This GPO has worked beautifully for our Windows XP and Windows 7 users with IE 7, 8 and 9.
Now with Windows 8 and IE10, this no longer works.
I’ve therefore added a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller to the network, and using GPMC on that new DC, I created a new GPO with the following settings:
User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings\Internet Explorer 10
Now, seeing as these are preferences, it’s a little different. But, I’ve “checked off” the option “Use a proxy server for your LAN” as well as “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”.
Then I click on “Advanced” and setup all my proxy settings the way I would like them, including the proxy server name, port and exceptions list.
When this new group policy gets applied to my Windows 8 PC, the only setting that gets applied is the “Use a proxy server for your LAN”.
It does not configure the name or port of the proxy server nor does it configure the exceptions list.
If I go back to the GPMC, and edit the new GPO, the settings are all there.
However, if I just view the settings from the main GPMC screen (without opening the GPO itself),
I don’t see all of those settings (again, only the one “Use a proxy server…”)
What am I missing???

Hi All, - (Revised Answer by myself)<o:p></o:p>
I banged my head against the keyboard on this one for some time trying to get this group policy to apply. I
did every thing that was suggested, learning about the F6 and F7 keys to Green underline and Red underline the options required and not required. I even gave in and used the registry settings and it still did not work. It turned out that I had
2 issues. The first one is obvious and the second not so obvious, this is how it is setup:
I have a 2012 R2 Standard DC with Windows 8.1 clients/workstations and IE 11. As you are aware you must make
sure that the following are underlined in green:
Automatically detect settings - (but not ticked)<o:p></o:p>
Use proxy server for your LAN<o:p></o:p>
Bypass Proxy for local address<o:p></o:p>
Next I made sure that the following had red dotted lines:
Address<o:p></o:p>
This still didn't work, so I went through my 'Do Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with' removed all
of these and then re-added one by one until the problem materialized. The first issue was when using wildcards I had added an entry with the following:
http://domain.subdomain.com/*
Then caused my proxy fields not to be applied, I re-added this just with:<o:p></o:p>
http://domain.subdomain.com/
<o:p>This next one is IMPORTANT.</o:p>
I had these entries in a Word document of which I had copied and pasted from the entry box for 'Do
Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with'. As shown in the screen shot above provided by SVEN_BURGER I had very similar entries:
http://domain.subdomain.com/;10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*
Each time I copied and pasted the line (+ more) above the proxy field on the Windows 8.1 client
be blank after using 'gpupdate /force' I then noticed that in my Word document the whole string was being seen as 1 URL due to the http part at the beginning, so I changed my entry to look like this:
10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
I again noticed that this section:
http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
Was being seen as one URL in my Word document. To resolve this I had to add the URL's individually and
apply and OK these before going back in and making the next entry. So I ended up adding them all individually after separating the
URL's in my Word document.
I hope this helps.

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

>   * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

Groups in Windows Contacts and Syncing

On my PC I run Vista and Windows Mail which utilizes Windows Contacts. I have approx. 500 contacts in WC, some of which are mine and some are my wife's. I created two new contact groups within WC, one for myself and one for my wife, and copied the whole list of 500 contacts to each. This now gives me three separate lists - the main group, my group and her group, which are all identical. As expected, we can edit and customize the individual groups (mine and hers) with no problem, and (also as expected) if one edits the main group it also changes the two sub groups. So for example if I delete an entry in the main list it also deletes it from the two sub group lists. So far so good.
Now, when I sync our individual iphones, I can get each phone to pick up our individual lists also with no problem. However, my problem is this;
If I make changes to my contact list ON MY iphone (for example deleting contacts), when I sync it with my PC the next time, it will cause the deletion of those contacts in both my contact list on the PC, AND in the main contact list so they are lost forever.
Another thing I don't quite understand is how to delete "All Contacts" from the iphone. I don't think that you can. It seems as though "All Contacts" is a default that cannot be changed and is generated by compiling all of the individual contact lists on the iphone.
Thanks

Hi there,
the only way to move a contact from one group to another is making the change within the Adressbook app on your Mac (or via the corresponding Windows application which should in all likelihood be MS Outlook) and afterwards sync your iPhone via iTunes or MobileMe.
Moving contacts between groups on the iPhone itself is currently not possible, maybe iOS 5 will change that.

Hi,
I agree with Zanderol24, we can install RSAT on a windows8 client, and then we can use Group Policy Management to manage group policy from the client.
For more information about RSAT, we can refer to the following link:
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Client and Windows Server (dsforum2wiki)
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2202.remote-server-administration-tools-rsat-for-windows-client-and-windows-server-dsforum2wiki.aspx
For more detailed information about how to use GPP to configure the proxy setting for ie10 and ie11, we can refer to the following link:
How to configure Group Policy Preference settings for Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2898604
When we use GPPs you need to be aware of the F5-F8 keys:
Red / Green: GP Preferences doesn’t work even though the policy applied and after gpupdate \force
http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2008/10/13/red-green-gp-preferences-doesn-t-work-even-though-the-policy-applied-and-after-gpupdate-force.aspx
Besides, aside from using group policy to manage IE, IEAK can also be used to do this.
For IEAK, the following article can be referred to for more information.

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

New Computer Windows 8 without CD Rom Drive, CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Download and Install

I have a new laptop with Windows 8, and like most new computers it does not have a CD Rom drive. I have deactivated CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Edition from my old computer (since I am only allowed one computer at a time) and would like to install and activate on my new machine. I am in possession of the original cd, product key and serial number, however the email that I originally used to get the serial number no longer exists. I have created a new Adobe ID with my new email address.
I read a forum that suggested that I download a trial, and then activate that trial with my serial number. I followed those steps with the closest version I could find, which was CS5, and though my computer said the files downloaded, nothing was installed... and I cant figure out how to install... and I am concerned that I dont have the same version in the trial as the CD that I own. Any advice would be greatly appreciated- most of the reason I wanted a faster computer was so I could run my photoshop on there!!!!

Should one use MPIO and/or CSV in a Windows 2012 R2 guest cluster?

Should one use MPIO and/or CSV in a Windows 2012 R2 guest cluster using VMware ESXi 5.5 presented Fiber LUN RDMs.
If MPIO were implemented is there a preference for HW manufacturer DISM vs. MS DISM in a guest cluster?
What partition size/offset is recommended for the MSR partition (currently set to 1000 MB) - unfortunately seeing storage validation error with failing block write at block 2048 (which in return may be related to VMware ESXi 5.5. disk partition layout)
The current setup works without using MPIO (question is would it help overcome the current failing persistent SCSI-3 reservation warning.)
What were the benefit of using CSV if any in a guest cluster? The Luns in scope would eventually hold SQL data and log files.
Thanks for your input already.

Hi,
Regardless of what type of the shared storage is failover cluster have to use the shared storage, the shared storage can redirect the failed node data to others node, accordingly
the failover cluster can get the high availability.

Hi,

We could follow the procedure talked in the below article to enable bitlocker through group policy:
Cannot Save Recovery Information for Bitlocker in Windows 7
Bitlocker is not available in Windows 7 professional, only available in Ultimate and Enterprise, and yes we could do bitlocker in Windows server 2008 R2 environment on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. There are some new changes made in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1,
if we want to configure new policies, then we should consider to use Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, See:
What's New in BitLocker for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
What's New in BitLocker for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
3.
For MBAM and its advantages, we may take a look at the following article:
Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM)
4.
We could enable BitLocker without TPM: Allow BitLocker Without A Compatible TPM
5&6.
We could manage TPM using
tpm.msc
If we have policies configured well, then the client side is not able to make changes to the settings.
7.
We might take a look at the following article:
How to backup recovery information in AD after BitLocker is turned ON in Windows 7

How to create windows users and groups from Java

Hi,
Can any one please tell me, which Package/API will helps to create windows users and groups from Java.
Thanks,
M.Prem.

You can't do it with pure Java, and it's not in the core API. You'd have to write a native function to do it, using whatever API Windows provides, and then call it with JNI. Or look for a third party native-based Java library that already does that.
