Custom Client Settings- Need assistance selecting inventoried file types please

Is this the correct syntax? *msi,*pdf etc wild card and commas included?
Phil Balderos

Also, are you sure you really want to do *.exe and *.dll?
These generally provide limited if any value and bloat your DB as well as suck up client resources.

I choose those because I saw them on a step by step how to for this. I would be grateful for any recommendation. What do you all suggest?

Do GPO settings override Custom Client Settings

In our environment we have a GPO that sets the powershell execution policy to AllSigned. I've set the custom client settings Powershell Execution Policy to Bypass. What wins? The GPO or the Custom Client settings? From what i can tell
via testing, it's the GPO, but I'd like to see some documentation or hear from others that can confirm that.

GPO wins. That's based on the fact that the ConfigMgr clients usually creates a local policy (which is always overwritten by a GPO).

I need to select certain files from TM to transfel to my Macbook Pro

I bought a new machine and installed my system from time machine. I HAD a macbook from 2005 that had the airport connectivity issue. Apparently the glitch transferred via TM to the new Macbook Pro and I couldn't connect wirelessly. I worked with someone and we tried everything, even a disk repair form the CD but the problem couldn't be resolved. I erased the HD and reinstalled OS X from the disk and didn't use TM (network issue is solved).
Now I need to access my files, and some software, from TM and put them on the new machine. How do I do that? When I open TM, the computer wants to format a new drive. I tried opening the existing external drive and a "Mobile Me" message popped up. I closed that out and did not try to go any further.

Do you mean using +Select DIsk+ on the Time Machine Preferences window? If so, then no, you don't want to set up Time Machine to do backups (yet).
If the connectivity issue is solved, you should be able to use +Migration Assistant+ to transfer your apps, users, and data, from the last backup. See Using Migration Assistant.

Need assistance embedding separate files into a PDF

All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Version 10.1.2). I followed the instructions below to try and embed separate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files into my PDF document as thumbnails, but the only problem is, this only works on my computer because the files are saved on my machine. As soon as I move my PDF file which contains the links, the links will not open.
How do I essentially do the same thing but have the thumbnail links be viewable by anyone, no matter their location?
Create a link using the Link tool
Choose Tools > Content > Link. The pointer becomes a cross hair, and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.
Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
Select one of the following link actions:
Go To A Page View
Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.
Open A File
Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open (for example in a new window or within an existing window), and then click OK.
Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.
       Open A Web Page
                 Provide the URL of the destination web page.
       Custom Link
                 Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Minimum settings needed in unattend.xml file

Hi,
I would like an answer file to handle the minimum settings required for an SCCM 2012 operating system deployment of Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit. Many of the examples I have seen include disk partitioning, language settings, enable the local admin account
and set password, allowing the admin account to login a certain number of times and so on. Task sequences handle most of this so I don't think I need everything suggested in the default recommendation that I have seen in many places including TechNet.
I don't feel like I need the disk partitioning recommendations in the answer file because the task sequence is already handling that part. No need to have this in the answer file, right?
I only need to deploy the English version of the operating system. My understanding that is if you don't use any language settings, the installation defaults to English. Is it safe to leave this information out of the answer file?
Does SCCM need the answer file to specify the number of times an admin can login to accomplish the OSD?
I think it would be necessary to maybe accept the EULA. I want our support contact information to appear in System Properties. Set the registered owner/organization.
My initial answer file was causing problems so I haven't been using one at all until a new one is created that won't cause OSD problems. Here is what I have set so far but would like to trim this down as much as possible:
1 - Windows PE: Set language to en-US and accept EULA
3 - Generalize: DoNotCleanTaskBar = True (not even sure what this does)
4 - Specialize: Enable Admin account, Set IE home page, set language to en-US, set OEM support info, DisableSR=1 (not sure what this does).
7 - oobeSystem: set language to en-US, set AutoLogon and Admin password, HideEULAPage=True, HideLocalAccountScreen=True, HideOEMRegistrationScreen=True, HideOnlineAccountsScreen=True, HideWirelessSetupInOOBE=True, NetworkLocation=Work, ProtectYourPC=1.
Could someone tell me how much of this is unnecessary for SCCM 2012 OSD? I'm pretty sure I don't need everything that is here because the task sequence covers part of these settings. What are the minimum settings needed here?
Thanks,
Rob

We were deploying Win 8.1 for a couple of months without an answer file but that doesn't help when you want certain things configured that an answer file will handle. My first answer file had too much going on and Win 8.1 didn't like it much.
My new answer file now sets our support information and registered user/org. Works like a charm.
EULA is being accepted, local admin is enabled, partitioning is being done correctly; all without the answer file handling it.

Software Inventory - File Types Question / Issue

Hello,
I am having an issue at my site that I hope someone can help me out with. Basically, my office is currently undergoing a software audit and they have something connected to my SCCM 2012 SP1 environment that is reading software inventory. To save
the boring details, they told me that I needed to go into the Software Inventory and under the file types, add *.exe with all other settings as default.
My manager did not want to turn this on for the entire company immediately so he asked that I target the IT department for this change during the afternoon. So I created a new policy with only Software Inventory withthe settings that the auditor told
me to put and scheduled it to run daily at 2:00 PM with start date of today. I then deployed this to a preexisting Collection that had all IT computers in it. I completed this task by 11:00 AM, figuring that has given me plenty of time to allow
for the policy to filter down. I forced a Machine Policy refresh on a few machines.
So at about 2:30 PM, I checked my InventoryAgent.log and nothing. It doesn't appear to have run at all. I began to do some research and found that I had to turn on a series of items in Asset Intelligence > Edit Inventory Class, which I did.
I then refreshed my policies manually and then triggered the Software Inventory manually. I watched the log again and got this

Software Inventory and Asset intelligence (hardware inv.) are unrelated. Just be patient - it might take some time.

Selecting Multiple File Types With Path Control

My application uses a file path control for the user to specify an output file. This output file can have two different formats (.csv or .mbf) which is unknown until the user specifies it through the file dialogue. However, when the user inputs a file name with a .mbf extension (test.mbf, for example), the file path control automatically appends the typed-in name with a .csv extension (test.mbf.csv). Given that the Pattern field on the control is written like this: *.csv; *.mbf., it seems that the control is simply taking the first file pattern listed and appending it to whatever is typed into the File Name field in the file dialogue box. Selection Mode is set to "Files" and "New or existing".
Anyone know a way to smarten up the file control to recognize the appropriate file type?
Using LabVIEW 8.6.1.
Thanks!
Andrew
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Instead of using the file path control, try using the Fial Dialog Express VI. This will bring up the same dialog box but will allow you much more flexibility. Replace your file path control with a button ("Specify Path" in my example code):

Cannot paste white balance settings to all selected raw files

Hi,
I select a raw file whose WB I need in order to place it to a whole set of raw files. I press Copy... and make sure WB is selected. then I move to the folder containing the raw files I need to copy the WB to, select them all and press Paste. NOTHING happens.
What am I doing wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Juan Dent

the only module that has Copy/Paste buttons is the Develop module. If I switch to Library/Grid view there is no Paste button.... then, how do I paste the settings I copied? Also, what is the Paste button functionality?? Why is it in the Develop module if it cannot be used there?
There is more than one way to skin a cat! Library module Photo>Develop Settings (see screen shot). There are even keyboard shortcuts. The Copy /Paste Settings commands can also be found in the Develop module under the Settings menu.
BTW: In Develop module I would tend to use the Sync button rather than Copy / Paste. Sync will operate on all selected images whereas as Paste will only operate on the most selected image.

Customer Service Complaint - Need Assistance ASAP and not getting it!

I sent in my Yoga Laptop for repairs two weeks ago. When I spoke with technical support, I was told that my laptop would be fixed within 7 business days, and returned to me. These 7 business days have since passed and I have yet to receive an update on my laptop, let alone my actual laptop. When I called to complain about this to 1-877-453-6686, I was told I would be getting a call back from customer service within 48 hours. These 48 hours have also passed and have not yet received a call. I called again today to find out what was happening and was told nothing more than "you will be contacted by them within 48 hours".
I was supposed to leave for Europe this past Sunday, and was told by the person I originally spoke to that I would have my laptop by then. Nope. Nothing. I am now leaving next Sunday and am very worried I will have to go purchase a new laptop, at my own cost, because Lenovo is unable to uphold to their customer service standards and provide me with any feedback. I am at the point of filing a complaint about the company to the Better Business Bureau here in Canada, but I feel the problem would best be resolved if Lenovo actually contacted me back. I have been without a laptop for 2 weeks now, and as a student, this is too long!!
Lenovo Customer Service, please contact me ASAP! I am not a happy customer right now and you guys have caused me way more stress than I need.
Thank you!

Best MPEG Streamclip settings for exporting a .mov file? Please help!

Am really stuck... I have a 1.6GB VOB file (which also exists in copy as a 2GB and a 1GB .mov file). I need to make a quicktime copy of the movie to upload online, but the maximum limit is 500MB. Because it's for a contact for a film festival, it needs to be as high quality as humanly possible, but has to be sent online. What precise settings should I use? I'm in the UK. Can anyone help me? Would be seriously grateful.

We don't care how big the original is; it is the length that matters. Take your limit of 500MB and multiply by 1024 to get megabits. Divide that number by the length in seconds of your movie. That is your bitrate in megabits per second. Duplicate one of the best-quality presets and change the bitrate. Make sure all the high quality options are on.

Cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

I think this issue may have been posted elsewhere, but I have tried all solutions offered with no success. I am attempting to open a Link within a secure PDF file when I receive the error above. I have made registry changes and verified the trust manager settings. Is there anything else I can do?

You should be able to check by opening the Attachments panel on the left (paperclip icon) and looking at the file extension.

Need to setup Premiere CS6 sequence for two file types with different field orders

I have a client who has shot video for me using two cameras, one camera was set to progressive, and the other to interlaced upper field first. I need to use both file types in the edit and have been struggling to set up the sequence to get the best look for the end product, a DVD. I have several videos to do for her that were all shot in the same way, so I need a solution!
I would appreciate help figuring out how to set up this work flow from beginning to end.
Should I convert one of the files from the beginning so they match field orders before going into a sequence? Or do I just need to do some adjusting of the files once they are in the sequence? Is it just as simple as changing the transcode settings to favor the upper field first? I'm definitely having issues once the video is transcoded in Encore and you can see a lot of jagged edges and lines especially during movement. My client isn't happy and I've tried several workarounds, but to no avail.
Here are the two file types I have:
File extension: .MOV
H.264, 1920x1080, Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 48000 Hz, stereo
FPS 29.97
No Fields: Progressive Scan
File extension: .MTS (my Mac finder can't read these files, but they are read in Premiere)
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - 6 channels
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Upper Field First
I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6.0.2
Encore 6.0.1
Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
I am running it on an iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011
with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
I've just been setting the sequence to match the .MOV files since they look much better than the .MTS files. I've done the opposite as well, setting the sequence to match the .MTS files and it doesn't seem to help. I've also changed the field order of the files once they are in the sequence by changing the field options and have tried converting the .MTS files in the Media Encoder, but nothing I've done has worked.
Any help would be so appreciated! The client I have is a photographer, so she wasn't aware of this issue when she first shot these videos. So I have 10 videos with these issues I need to get back to her, hopefully issue free! I'm struggling as an editor because my last job I was using FCP and was working with videographers who knew what they were doing, so I've never faced such problems before. Plus I'm new to the Adobe software. Not a good combination. Please forgive me if I didn't give all the information you need. I will happily respond with whatever more information you may need to help me out!
~KTrouper

I wonder if you could do your edit ignoring any visual issues of the interlaced footage but keeping the different sources separate ( checkerboard edit Vid 1/ Vid 2 )
Lock it down then export the interlaced part of the edit as a Digital Intermediate.
Maybe Export the other source as well to the same codec. DI
Bring them back together in a New Sequence. You wold have to deal with the black spacing.

File Select Popup not restricing multiple file types

I have a Bitmap picture in which I call GetBitmapFromFile right after this popupfile select. So I want the user to pick one of the folowing filetypes seen below.
I have the following call
FileSelectPopup ("", "*.*", "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "Select picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //Extension Not Required
But when this is ran, it prompts the user showing all file types and all file types are allowed.
Doing the following:
FileSelectPopup ("",
"*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf",
"*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "Select
picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //Extension not required
The prompt shows only those file-types, but the default stays on .emf and the user must select the correct file-type at the bottom they are trying to select.
If I do the following (with commas and restrict file-extension):
FileSelectPopup ("", "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "*.tif,*.pcx,*.bmp,*.dib,*.rle,*.ico,*.jpg,*.png,*.wmf,*.emf", "Select picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 1, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //using commas
It shows the correct files, but when clicking one, it says the file-type must be .emf
The only workign way I found was to do the last statement, but not restrict the file-extension. (This would give the user the option to change the file-type)
What I want is the file-type allowed list to be one of those file-types, only show files with those extensions and not require/allow the user to select which file-type they will choose.
Can this not be done?

I see no way of customizing FileSelectPopup the way you want: either you restrict extensions, and you are limited to "Default file spec" contents (in case you put a filetype list in this field, the last one is used, as you already noted) or you allow to change extensions, but the user must choose which one to use an "*.*" is always present.
I am afraid you will need to post-process operator's choice and prompt again in case of non-allowed extension.
As an alternative you can use the toolbox path control, which can be tailored the way you want but it isn't as easy for the operator as FileSelectPopup. It iìultimately is a string control with customized features to offer an alternative in selecting files / paths. You can tailor it by doing so:
    SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, "c:\\myDefaultPath");
    errChk (NewPathCtrl (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, 15, 1));
    SetPathCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, ATTR_PATH_CTRL_FILE_FILTER, "*.bmp;*.ico");
This control permits you a limited filetype choice but forces the user to more impactive operability to select the desired file.
There is a sample project that uses this control in <sampledir>\userint\custctrl\pathctrl.
Another alternative is the File Browser toolslib control: a customized tree control which can be restricted to multiple file types; it is relatively slow on large file systems -at least at the first execution.
The control maintains the native context menu of the original tree control: I suppose this can be tailored as in native control but I haven't tested it: if it's possibleit may help the user in finding the correct file to select.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Client Settings and RBAC

When we first setup RBAC, we created a Departmental Admin role that could create, modify and delete...basically was given all of the permissions for the Client Settings class since the objects are securable via scope therefore Departmental
Admins could not modify or delete the Default Client Settings or any of the Custom Client Settings outside their scope. This was working for us for the last 6 months and now all of a sudden, those same Departmental Admins now have the ability to modify
the Default Client Settings rule but still not any custom client settings outside their scope and I can't figure out why? It's as if the scope for the Default Client Settings rule as changed and I have no idea on how to tell since the console
doesn't show any scope for the Default Settings? Any idea on how this might have happened or how to fix it?

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
Within the CM12 R2 Toolkit, look at RBAview, this will help you understand what each user can or can’t do.
