Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

My Windows 7 crashed a couple days ago after a windows update, I got this message.
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
I restarted the machine and got this message

The EventSystem sub system is suppressing duplicate event log entries for a duration of 86400 seconds. The suppression timeout can be controlled by a REG_DWORD value named SuppressDuplicateDuration under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\EventLog.

hi do the following
1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
2. If prompted click yes,
3. expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
something similair)
5. right click the sid and press delete.
6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

Cisco Jabber for Windows Client SDK

Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

ICC profile for windows

Hi
I have bought at screen calibrator and have created an icc profile for windows.
I have Adobe photoshop elements and Lightroom, how do i get the colors to be be same in these 2 programs and even same as other program like windows previewer

Hello,
The link should help.
If you check in your printing preferences and see if under Color Management you have an option of Application Managed Colors. If so an ICC profile should exist for your printer and you can follow the steps in the link below to set up your driver and Adobe.

How do I create a default profile for all users of a computer in Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions above 8? I'd like all new users on a computer to get the same defaults, bookmarks, homepage, etc...

I have found help for this on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions above 8. There must be someway to accomplish this for imaging on a large scale.

You can create a defaults\profile template folder in the Firefox program folder for new profiles the same way as in older versions. That folder only isn't there anymore because all files have been moved to the omni.ja(r) archive, so you need to create it yourself.

Making IE 11 as default browser for windows 8.1 Update

Hi,
We are performing bulk deployments for Windows 8.1 Update using Config manager 2012 R2. Its x64 OS deployment.
I am looking for a way to make windows 8.1 Update IE browser as a default browser for all users.
Any local group policy or batch file or any script that would do this, would be great.
Can anyone pls. some script\pointers on how to achieve this? Thanks
Regards,

prior to Win8, you could set file-type associations and protocol associations a few ways.
e.g.:
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/09/how-to-use-group-policy-to-change-open-with-file-associations/
Since Win8, there are extra thing to deal with, e.g.:

10.4.9 as Domain Controller fails daily for Windows clients

I have a 10.4.9 Open Directory Master server which also serves as a PDC for Windows XP clients. Windows clients can log in and get roaming profiles with shared homes for Mac and Windows environments. This all works fine.
But, for the last week, every morning, the Windows clients cannot find the domain. I can replace the /etc/smb.conf file with a saved good file, restart the Windows service and all works fine until the next morning, where it fails again. Simply restarting the Windows service does not help; it needs to be reconfigured with a new smb.conf file.
Mac clients can authenticate and connect via smb. The Windows XP Pro clients are up to date with latest updates, so there could be a problem from that, but the updates don't match the date the problems started. The start of the problem coincided with removing an Open Directory Replica, which was no longer needed. It is probably unrelated, but it is the only change I can think of.
There must be some overnight process which resets some setting. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks for any help!
Mostly Xserve servers Mac OS X (10.4.9) 400 + node Open Directory domain Win & Mac All Mac servers
Macs & PCs (too many!) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Tom,
We destroyed our domain and rejoined all our XP boxes. This did not fix the problem. There appears to be a bug in Apple samba-100.7 (10.4.9).
As a quick fix we extracted the smbd binary and smbd.plist from a 10.4.8 combo update (Note: you could also grab the files from a working 10.4.8 install)...
1. Download the 10.4.8 combo update from http://www.apple.com/support
2. Mount the 10.4.8 update .dmg
3. In Terminal navigate to the folder containing Archive.pax.gz, in our case this was...
cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Server\ 10.4.8\ Combined\ Update/MacOSXSrvrCombo10.4.8PPC.mpkg/Contents/Installers/MacOSXSvrCmbBase10.4.8 PPC.pkg/Contents
4. Copy Archive.pax.gz to a location on your HDD, like Desktop
cp Archive.pax.gz ~/Desktop
5. Unzip Archive.pax.gz
cd ~/Desktop
gunzip Archive.pax.gz
6. Grab a copy of Pacifist and use it to open Archive.pax
7. Using Pacifist, extract (drag and drop) the following files from the archive to your Desktop...
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
/usr/sbin/smbd
Note: We are going to replace smb in the next step, best backup the current copies of the above files before proceeding.
8. Open Terminal again...
Stop SMB...
sudo serveradmin stop smb
Replace samba with 10.4.8 version...
sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd /usr/sbin/smbd
sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
9. Restart SMB and the process is complete...
sudo serveradmin start smb

Consistent Profile for Windows Server 2012 R2 RDP Users

Here is the info I used for customizing my start screens.
http://microsoftplatform.blogspot.com/2012/11/predefining-and-customizing-modern-ui.html
As for desktop shortcuts and other customization. Look into Group policy preferences. You can add desktop shortcuts, map drives and customize a large amount of user settings.

I am playing with the Parallels 2X RAS product and want to set up a Terminal Server desktop and publish it for my users. I want the user experience to be uniform for all users that log on. For instance, I want default shortcuts to installed apps, desktop wallpaper, Documents, Pictures and Downloads pointing to their H drives (which is the home directory user share on the file server) and stuff like that. This is a Windows Server 2012 R2 server. In the olden days I would just customize a profile and then copy it over to the default profile but I have read that this is a bad idea. What's the best way to accomplish this? I don't want/need roaming profiles so I'm not sure where to go next. I am using group policy to tighten down the desktop quite a bit but I'm not sure how to complete the rest of my goals with a group policy.Thanks for...

Why does itunes override default settings for windows 7?

something is seriously wrong with my windows 7 / itunes interface.
when i click 'listen live' on kpfa (the ONLY station on which this happens), instead of going to my default setting for winamp, itunes jumps in and starts itself.
THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT! i have tried everything possible to make sure the defaults are correct, even going so far as to uninstall/re-install itunes to no avail. *** is itunes up to? when i want to use it, i will start it myself...and when and why did this change happen? this computer belongs to ME, not apple, not itunes. making changes to my computer without permission is ********. why can't i fix this?

i already did that at the direction of:

How to alter the default profile for multiple users

I am trying to alter the default profile assigned to users during user creation to a new profile. I know to change the profile for one user using the syntax
alter user abc profile profileabc
The issue I have is that there are 100's of users under default profile and changing for each of them manually would be difficult. The approach that I see is to write a shell script where I connect to the db and get a list of all the users with default profile. Then I loop through the file making connection to the db each time and executing the alter statement.
Please help if you think that there can be a more efficient approach to this.
Thanks

How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
What to do?
Thanks...

No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
There are the standard first start behavior.
There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
Thanks.

How to create a default profile for all users in Firefox 9.

I run a computer lab, and am looking for a way to create a default profile in Firefox 9 that new users can use. I want them to be able to launch Firefox for the first time, and see my homepage. I want to disable any check for default browsers, firstrun pages, or any other prompts.
The old .adm files for group policy don't seen to be working any longer.

See http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/howtodeploy.htm
You can create a defaults\profile folder in the Firefox program folder and place files in it to be used to create and initialize a new profile.

FCP 5 export to .AVI for Windows client? Advice needed!

I have a Windows platform client that wants my Exported FCP 5 Sequence in .AVI format.
Obviously, I normally always use Export to Quicktime Movie in FCP, and I do know that their is not a direct choice in FCP to export/convert as an .AVI file. (I usually hand off the FCP file to another facility that does DVD Studio Pro authoring work, and haven't had a need to make different file formats).
This has made me to ponder of few bits of info, that I'm sure I could get great ansers to, here.
My normal "workaround" for making an .AVI for a Windows user is to Export as Quicktime Movie in FCP, like normal, and then open that exported file in Quicktime Pro, and use Export Movie to AVI in Quicktime Pro. Is this the best method? Secondly, I am a little unsure as to the best settings I should use in QT Pro to achieve this. For example:
I just did a routine NTSC 48k,16 bit stereo, 30 second ad in FCP, and my normal, Export to Quicktime Movie was about 260 meg in size for the finished, self-contained movie file.
I opened this in QT-Pro and ran Export to AVI. In the settings dialog, I chose "uncompressed" for video and 48k-16 bit stereo for audio. The resulting export was about 680 meg in size! Because of file size restrictions for the clients product, what settings change or choice should I be making in QT-Pro to get an "equivalent" of the 260 meg file the FCP is exporting? Should I not get an equal file size of the QT-Pro AVI versus the FCP export (both 260 meg?).
If the answer is compression, what is the best settings in QT-Pro? Cinepak? Intel Indeo?
Perhaps, I have always misunderstood what FCP Export to Movie is giving me, but I thought that was uncompressed video? If so, why do I get the 260 meg out of FCP, and then 680 meg from QT-Pro Export to AVI (uncompressed) for the same 30 second clip? Is it simply a data rate difference?
Lastly, I have actually had a Windows user take a FCP Export to Movie file, straight from me, and they say it opened fine in Windows Media Player as is for viewing. However, there is no (dot) file extension name on the end of the filename. They can simply click File/Open in Windows Media Player and choose the "unrecognized" file because of no extension, and play it just fine to at least view the clip.
So what exactly is the file type that FCP is creating? It's not a .MOV and not an AVI file. What would be the equivalent file type association (just for my curiosity).
Thanks for any help to the above as I value the more-experienced users here.
Wade

Hi Wade,
Sorry for letting your post unanswered for two days, we were all busy (I know, it is not an excuse).
Seriously, I think the reason you are not getting answers is you have asked too many questions in one post. Don't know about others, but I get slightly confused.
Let me tell you what I do with FCP material when I send it to our sound department where they work with Nuendo on PCs. I export sequence using QT Conversion. My settings are: Format - AVI, Compression type - DV-PAL, Compressor quality - Best. I do not bother much about the sound. I sent the resulting file over network to a Maxtor FireWire external drive connected to a colleague's PC and then take the drive down to the sound guys. If the AVI file is smaller than 2 GB I can burn it to a DVD and a PC can open it, if it is larger, PCs cannot open. Also, the sound guys ask me not to use Cinepac, they do not like it. Therefore, I use DV-PAL; I guess you may safely use DV-NTSC but it depends on who will open the AVI file. Ask your client what it wants.
I think my routine is a bit more streamlined than yours - I export straight from FCP and do not bother with QT. You are wrong in saying that there is no direct way in FCP to export AVI.
Hope this is a starter for more answers. Also, have you tried searching the forum? I am sure all the answers are already there.
