Deploy TS system without uninstall

How do I set "Deploy TS system" to just update a previous installation done with Deploy utility? Is it just to call it a different name under "Installer options/Advanced options/Keywords, Version, Subject or product code"? I have looked in the manual and cant find information about these fields.
Many thanks

Hello Dan!
I believe the information you are requesting can be found in the TestStand help and in particular you should look at the following text:
Quote:
"Advanced Installer Options Dialog Box
To launch the Advanced Installer Options dialog box, launch the Deploy TestStand System dialog box and click Advanced Options on the Installer Options tab.
The Advanced Installer Options dialog box contains the following options:
Manufacturer—Specifies the name of the company, which appears in the Currently Installed Programs list of the Add or Remove Programs dialog box in Windows. This option corresponds to the [Manufacturer] Microsoft Installer (MSI) property.
Version—Specifies the current software version number. The installer uses this number to check for a current installation and to check for upgrades. You must increment the version number to create versions of the installer that are capable of overwriting previous installers. The version corresponds to the [ProductVersion] Microsoft Installer (MSI) property. Note This control is disabled if the Auto Increment option is enabled.
Auto Increment—Specifies that the version is automatically increased when an installer is built. When you select this option, the Version control is disabled. Note You must save your deployment before closing the Deploy TestStand System dialog box to retain the new version number.
Upgrade Code—Displays a string that uniquely identifies a related set of installers in Windows. Only one system, with a specific upgrade code, can be installed on a computer at a given time. An installer that has the same upgrade code and a higher version updates an older installation. The upgrade code corresponds to the [UpgradeCode] Microsoft Installer (MSI) property."
So the last one is the method I believe you should use!

What is the best way to get iTunes running on my Windows 7 64 bit system without installing it on my Windows 7 64 bit system?

I had iTunes installed on XP before upgrading my system and with all the install and uninstall issues I don't want to go through the same thing with Windows 7.
So, I'm looking for a way to get iTunes running on my system without installing it (like maybe in a Virtual OS on VirtualBox or VMWare.)
Something that I can easily restore and/or repair (Windows 7 Restore Points/backup options are not viable because they restore EVERYTHING to the state they were in when they were created.)
TYIA
Any suggestions will help as to the best way of doing this.

LOL Yeah, right, that's very funny...
I did that on XP so I know better now!
Here is just 1 example of many:
On XP the uninstall wouldn't work so I coudn't upgrade iTunes. In order to fix this without Re-Installing XP, I had to delete iTunes and then manually remove it from the registry and from Add/Remove programs before I could Install the new version. Eventualy it did work after 1 and a half days of repairs...
I'm not going through the same type of problems on Windows 7 that just simply waste my time!

How to deploy the OS without Partioning the Drive , Refresh Deployment Senarios

Hi ,
I need to configure the reuired settings for below things in MDT. If these are possible in MDT can you please share the required configuration with Steps.. I am using MDT 2013 for deploying Windows 8.1.
1. OS deployment should be without partitioning
2. All user Profile data should taken before OSD and after OSD all the user profile data backup should be restore Auto on its original location.
3. no any user data located even in Local C drive or in other Local Drive- D or E delete..
Shailendra Dev

Shailendra,
You'll need to brake this up into 2 or 3 cases.
One, not formatting and partitioning the drive, if you use the REFRESH scenario, the existing operating system drive will be cleaned (not formatted) and Windows will be installed on this drive
Two, with the User State Migration Tool you'll be able to achieve what you want, either using symbolic (hardlinks) or transfer the data into a migfile which can be copied to a fileshare or external drive, and copied back once the machine is finished.
Third, check for any remaining folders and files, by for example deleting all content other than the usual files and folders that are present after a fresh Windows installation.
Good luck!

AirPort Extreme extends my network and has worked well for three months. Now it can no longer extend the network and flashes Amber. I have restored to factory settings moved it closer to time capsule and rebooted the system without luck

i have a blinking Amber on my extreme now and it cannot extend the network. It was working fine and nothing has changed. I have restored to factory settings moved it to another room and rebooted the system without luck. Any suggestions

What OS are you running?
Please give me a screenshot of the current AE setup..
I strongly recommend if you have issues.. take control of all the variables. Apple routers have too much auto..
Here is a list that I use for setups when using Yosemite.. but it relates to any OS.
You will need to factory reset again to get going.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite or whatever you are using.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 for basestation.
Use AE24ghz and AE5ghz for wireless on each band, with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for router but if the AE is bridged you can have trouble.. Try using the static IP method or control it via the main router dhcp reservations.
4. Check your share name on the computer/s is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Set up the extend to the Express using 2.4ghz and then see how good or bad the connection is.. this is better in the old v5 utility but if you hover your mouse over where it shows connection an extra chunk of info comes up.
I have specifically used 5ghz to make the extend.. because by testing it works better.. but do not be fooled.. this good connection is poor.. the RSSI.. which is difference signal .. at -79dbm is down the bottom of the stable.. and it drops out on a daily basis.. you want to see that signal around -60dbm at min.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.

Is it possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external system without SAP PI?

Hi,
as asked in the title, i am wondering if it is possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external (non-SAP) system without using SAP PI/XI. The external system is a middleware application which can handle RFC functions, IDocs besides the usual web service communications.
However, i don't know how LSO and SAP PI are integrated so i wonder if their interfaces are such that instead of SAP PI another middleware could be used.

Web Services are used. If you were to implement the services in your 3rd party middleware and configure SAP to call it, I suppose it is possible. The external course catalog can be used for CourseEnrollment and LearningProgress. See the application help for details. Don't expect to receive support from SAP with such a setup however.

I have 3dparty software wirelessly with a cryptographic authentication system without my consent (seems to be new technology developed by stanford) obtaining ownership of my iPhone 4s software and controlling it with remote device to jail break. Now what?

I have 3rd party software wirelessly injected and used on my iphone with a cryptographic authentication system without my consent (seems to be new technology developed by stanford and apple security is not updated for this technology) obtaining ownership of my iPhone 4s software and controlling it with remote device to jail breaking my phone, adding and removing software, changing settings all from a remotely controled device from different location (I have a Mac address I'd of this device to know for sure). Almost undetectable. When I look at the legal section of my phone it shows a list of all the unauthorized 3rd party software "as is" copyright encrypted on the phone. This is the most basic way to legally steal software of any kind. Because of this legalality 3rd party ownership have total control of certain software correlated with hardware use including visualization technology, etc. most people luckily will never have this happen to them so it's unlikely many readers have not a clue of what I'm saying currently. Either way, without needing to obtain specific warranty of any kind "as is" copyright control makes system restores not a solution because the source code is not directly encrypted on the actual hardware device only a copy right notice must appear on the specific device 3rd party software validation making it extremely difficult for me to take control of the situation. Apple claims their iOS technology prevents this type copyright obstruction from being possible, however, according to my phone a new form of technology was used developed by Tom wu of Stanford university called the STANFORD SRP AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY which uses Some form of cryptographic authentication system and uses quote "secure remote password" which seems to suceed in hacking iOS apple technology apple claims is not possible to jailbreak an unstolen phone or without the owners consent As well as loading the device with 3rd party copyright Notices to make all of this legalized. My phone shows atleast 30 pages worth of legalized 3rd party copyright permissions! Yesterday my apple care provider labeled me a jailbreaker and refused to look at my legal documented proof which completely blew my mind because it voides my apple care contract I spent 100 on. This employee did not take all factors into consideration and made quick assumptions as well as verbally speaking to me as I'm an automatic criminal. I left the store yesterday with no payed insurance help on a problem I had no control over and couldn't prevent, leaving with voided contracts. This is an apple users worst nightmare and I have spent days researching all of this like i am some kind of lawyer only to be able to use my phone the way it should and spent alot of money on. I can legally backup any claim I have just wrote above currently and have a large source of data collected to prove apple is wrong in voiding insurance support on this issue. The problem lies in apple avoiding and not wanting to believe their software can legally be obtained ot "hacked". Yet still labeled a jailbreaker basically.. What should I do????? Been to local apple store 3 times and rebooted my phone as well sprint service restore 4 times and spoke with reps twiice on the phone. Spoke with my phone provider who said apple has full control over these matters so they can't help me. My case is according to apple "still open"...Anyone else heard of this or of Stanford's office of technology licensing? Maybe I need to buy a blackberry again or just use a landline so I can stop being my own lawyer and focus on other productive areas in life instead of this horrible mess. I shouldn't have to prove to apple I not a jailbreaker they should have to prove I'm one before voiding support I desperately need!!

I assume u guys don't understand what open source software is
Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software
Yes, Tom Wu of Stanford wrote a paper on something called Secure Remote Access Protocol. It's a form of Asymetric Key Exchange and has nothing to do with hacking anything. It's actually intended to protect data.

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

Creating Support Messages from Satellite System without SolMan user account

Hi
We are having some problems with users "creating support message" from our ECC system to SolMan, if the user does not have a user account in Solution Manager.
It is not correct, that users from Satellite systems can create support messages from these systems, without the user having an account in Solution Manager? And that the user is identified by the business partner for the user, that must exist in the Solution Manager system ?
We have set up the RFC for the supportmessages between SolMan and the ECC system as trusted RFC, with the "Current user" as the user, but how should this be set up, if the user does not have an account in the Solution Manager system. If we enter a user with the right authorizations in the RFC, will the messages that come through not just appear as created by that user, instead of the ECC user and corresponding business partner ?
Regards
Lars

Hi,
you can use the use the user for the RFC-Connection in that case. I have customizied a similar scenario. In my scenario the System from which the message was created, is the business partner (SOLD-TO-PARTY). For that you have to create a communication user (i.e SOLMAN<SYSID>). In TA SM59 in the satellite-system you assign this user for the connection. (Don't forget to assign the user to the role "SAP_SV_FDB_NOTIF_BC_ADMIN"). Now, it schould be possible to create messages from the satellite system to the solution manager. Additionally you should create business-partner for each user of the satellite system, by using TA DSWP>EDIT>CREATE BUSINESS PARTNER.
With this TA, it is easy to create BP for each satellite system.

I would rather not buy the old 10.2.8 system as it is expensive. Thanks!

Need to know which newer one, some cannot run 10.2.x.
One solution might be to clone the 10.2.8 Drive to another drive, then Install a later OS on it Preserving Users & Settings.
Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
Relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Setting up the HR-PDC interface to ext. system without direct RFC

Hello,
Setting up the HR-PDC interface to external system without direct RFC - Uploading time events
Following note number 647145, I tried to set up connection to external time collection system. As the external system isn't able to work with RFC, I setup a fileport using transaction WE21. When an outbound IDOC is created with transaction PT80, it will be stored at the outbound path. The IDOC then will be transfered to the external system with a unix script triggered by event.
For inbound IDOCS, the fileport cannot be used as I don't see any way to configure it as the time events that should come in via RFC port, will be uploaded and processed according the ALE distribution model. The BOR object "PTManagerExtPEvent" of type "BUS7014" with method "Insert" is used to insert the time events into the interface table CC1TEV from an HR-PDC certified subsystem. The message type is "HRCC1UPTEVEN".
As standard process won't work in our case, I'd need alternative solution. Actually the time events are send via ftp to the SAP directory that points to incoming IDOC path setup on WE21.
Maybe there should some way to setup RFC connection to own SAP system that points to the SAP directory where the inbound files are stored.
Maybe using the FM IDOC_INPUT_HRCC1UPTEVEN can be used to trigger the upload manually but first the files have to be uploaded from file similiar to report RSEINB00. Testing this report using the SAP directory and port where the inbound files are located I get error message that IDOC control record is missing, that seems to be understandable as this report is used to upload IDOCS from file but HR-PDC upload file HRCC1UPTEVEN01 has no specific IDOC segments in this moment as it was created according specific HR-PDC interface description. The IDOC in the standard process will be created with the BAPI.
As I'm new in HR and ALE, I'd be grateful for any help on this matter.
Best regards
Andreas

Hello Andreas,
thanks for Your contribution. Recently I've got the trial version and made some tests and found out that the bapi-handler works perfectly for managing HR-PDC interface.
Nevertheless actually there's no compilation for OS/400 and the AS/400 I'm working with has an old OS release without C compiler and furthermore RFC libraries of SAP cannot be installed on this release.
The Bapi-handler for testing runs on Windows
and I'd need an intermediate machine to manage the data between AS/400 and SAP. I'd prefer direct connection between timecollection subsystem and SAP for obvios reason.
Regards
Andreas

Software Center Application Uninstallation Button Greyed Out and Deploying an Application with Uninstall switch Fails

Hi,
I tried everything I could find on the internet but no luck so far. I can successfully deploy MS Visio 2013 to the clients. I also want to be able to uninstall it from the clients. On the client machine Uninstall button is greyed out. This deployment is
installed as "Available" and there is only one deployment type within that MS Visio 2013 Application.
I tried the following uninstall commands in my deployment:
setup.exe /uninstall
setup.exe /uninstall
VisPro
/config .\vispro.ww\uninstallvisio.xml
“\\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\setup.exe” /uninstall VisPro /config "\\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\vispro.ww\uninstallvisio.xml"
\\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\setup.exe /uninstall VisPro /config \\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\vispro.ww\uninstallvisio.xml
I checked Product ID from Setup.xml and I know it is correct. My uninstallvisio.xml' content is below:
<Configuration Product="VisPro">
<Display Level="basic" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
</Configuration>
Last night, I downloaded and installed Cumulative Update 1 for SCCM 2012 R2 and I haven't tried the deployment after the update,yet. I will try it today but please let me know what else to check.
Yavuz Selim Atmaca

After I updated SCCM Server and test client pc with CU1 , I tried to deploy visio as Required. It installed successfully. Then I uninstalled visio by deploying the application with Uninstall Action.
After that I tried to deploy visio as "Available" to see if Software Center Uninstall button works. However visio deployment does not come to Software Center's Available Applications List. I check the status of the deployment under the Deployments monitoring
node and it says Success "Already Compliant". I dont know what it means. Does config manager thinks that visio already installed?
Yavuz Selim Atmaca
2 or 3 hours later that -Succes "Already Compliant"- status of the deployment under the Deployments monitoring node is vanished automatically and Software Center application list showed the new deployment. I installed it and uninstalled it succesfully.
So, you are right Solution is the CU1 but I am still wondering why my available deployment took so time to be visible in Software Center althought I didn't enter any schedule to be available.

Does the Flashback malware have an effect on OS X systems without java installed?

Does the Flashback malware have an effect on OS X systems without java installed? Just asking since i do not have java installed...

It's not likely, but better safe than sorry. See
Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
Visit Thomas Reed's site for insight and help: Mac Malware Guide
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. However, be careful about what you do as new variants of the malware circumvent the efforts of earlier tools.
Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
Apple has released Java updates for Snow Leopard and Lion users:
Java for OS X Lion 2012-003; available only for users of Lion with Java installed.
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8; available only for users of Snow Leopard.
Flashback malware removal tool; available only for users of Lion without Java installed.
Install whichever shows up in Software Update. It removes the malware (if present), updates Java (if present) and tightens up Java settings for the future. You may download from Apple's web site instead of using Software Update, but it's important to know which one to get, because the other two won't work for you.

Is data stored anywhere in the system without SAVEing the file manually

Hello All,
I need to know whether the data is saved anywhere even before I save the document manually ?
If so, where can I find that temporarily saved data?
Ex: While writing any WORD document, you can see the draft version of any file saved after 2 mins without save.
Regards,
Vijaya

Hi, data is not stored in system without SAVEing the program.
However, if you have pressed F8 ( executed the program without saving), then a message come REPS<reportname> temporarily saved (program gets buffered for temporary compilation) .
If after this you close your session and try to open the report in new session, a popup would come giving you option of using saved version or temporary version.
This is the closest SAP gets to MS WORD file crash recovery style.
