Deployment of OEM media on New PCs NO KEY ON PC

All,
We have been for many years now successfully deploying Windows XP, Vista, and 7 using the OEM media supplied by Dell and the Key on the label of each PC. Basically, we accept new PCs from Dell and then use MDT to install to our spec the OS and software
needed for deployment. The OS is always the OS that came native to the PC in question. With Win 7 we found that placing the product key in the script seems to work for installation but does't seem to work for activation. By this I mean we
usually have to re-enter the key at the time of activation and all goes well.
Enter MS license changes. Apparently MS is not providing the Key sticker to OEMs any more and therefore the newest Dell PCs we receive do not have a license key for Windows 7. Without a key we're dead in the water.
There has to be away around this problem without having to by additional Volume or Retail copies of the OS. Anyone have any ideas?

The definitive guide:

Any questions and/or clarifications should be sent to Microsoft, this is not the correct forum for licensing questions.
Rob - Verify if Magic Jelly Bean (or other powershell script) can programmatically extract the OEM Product Key(s).

Keith,
The key extracted but Jelly Bean and other tools on downgraded Windows 7 PCs without a sticker on the box can not be used to activate the system after re-installation. It doesn't work unless you use the
same method used by the PC manufacture to install and activate the OS. In other words, you can use the OEM CD to re-install the Windows
7 OS on the PC in question and not need to activate the software because installing directly from the OEM CD uses a self activating method. Copying that OEM media into MDT does not employ the same
self activating method and the key used for self activation can not be used to activate in the normal way.
Thanks,
Rob

Warning by NAC when a new Pcs connecte to the network

Hi All,
I have a NAC is configured to authenticate users through the NAC by local BD and just use vlan mapping mac-address filter list.
I would like to control new Pcs connection to the network ; when a new mac-address -- PC ,laptop or any other mac based device is connected , then The NAC Monitoring should be make an alert or a warning to the " Network admin ". Thereby the Network Admin is more active in monitoring whole network.
Any good solutions, suggestions are many appriciations from my heart!!!

Hi,
if you are into the mac address monitoring I think the NAC profiler is made for you.
It can recognize hundreds of kind of devices from their behavior (DHCP, ARP, ...) and it classifies any device you plug on the network. You can even make custom rules if you have very specific products.
So you can determine "Cisco 9971 phones will go to this vlan" and any 9971 phone you bring in the future will be added in the NAC list.
It can also do this "monitoring" you are talking about, you can put any new mac address in a special category. And from there Profiler shows you its location and current behavior (what profiler thinks it is).

Picture not downloaded in new PCs

Hi,
Not sure if this the right forum category, but i'll just try my luck. And pls direct me to the correct forum if i'm wrong.
I have a customized program (copied from RPLPBSR1_ALV), what the program does is downloading a ms word office document and inside there is photo of the staff). The program make use of OLE2_OBJECT to do that.
The method used to insert the picture is ADDPICTURE (of INLINESHAPES). I googled this out and saw that it belongs to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.
The problem I encountered is: the picture is not downloaded into file in the new PCs.
Initially I thought it was because of diff OS. But turns out some of the PC is using OS Windows XP, Ms Office 2003 (which is the same as some of the existing PCs that are able to download the photo).
What could be the problem? And what is the solution to this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kiran, sorry to inform you, turned out the solution did not work.
What I did was, I tried playing around (changing) the security setting in the IE browser (go to Tools-> Intenet Options -> Security tab). Somehow when I played around and set it to High, the photo not downloaded. So I thought that could solve it. Turned out after trying it in customer's PC, it did not work.

Creation of new Personalization object keys

Hi All,
Is it possible to create new personalization object key for a role for eg: in SRM we have personalization objects keys BBP_SPEND_LIMIT and BBP_APPROVAL_LIMIT already defined by SAP. In case we need to define the same kind of spend limits for users in MM. Can we define new personalization objects keys ? If yes let me know what are the steps
I am aware of the transaction PERSREG, but not sure of its uses.
Regards,
SC

Hi,
PERSREG is the right one for defining the pers.key.
I think the problem will be, if and how your new key shall be handled by the applications coding....
Maybe MM offers some exits or whatever to verify own personalizaiton keys?

Process flow Deployment for OEM

I try to define a process module with an OEM deployment location.
It is not possible to create a new one during the creation wizard.
I'm not able to allocate later on an existing OEM location.
How cum?
OWB 9.2.
Oracle 9i

Hi Igor,
Thnx for your response.
I did look already to viewlet but this is the way to schedule jobs to run mappings which are PL/SQL packages.
What i try to do is defining in the OWB tool a process flow and a deployment location for this process flow and there i can't choose to define a location of the OEM type.
I would expect that OWB generates specific code or package for this process flow that i can scheduled using OEM and the oem template.
I will check the things you mentioned maybe they are related but i would be surprised. I would not expect that OWB tool is so depended of the deployment environment.

Deploying Existing Web App With New JWS

Hi all,
I've been banging my head against a brick wall for a few days on this, but I'm sure it must be something trivial. Hopefully someone here will have some advice...
In a nutshell, I'm working on an existing web application, running on Weblogic 8.1, in a clustered environment. I've added a new JWS web service which is largely standalone, but it uses controls from elsewhere in the application.
Locally, on my development box, it works perfectly - I can run it from Weblogic Workshop, and see the handy test form to run the web service, as well as seeing the WSDL by pointing my browser at http://localhost:7001/app/path/Service.jws?WSDL
However, I've now built the EAR for the whole application, and deployed it to our test environment (clustered - a mirror (hopefully!) of the production environment).
When I go to http://test-box:7002/app/path/Service.jws?WSDL I see a nasty-looking error page that looks like:
WebService ERROR
Error:
null
Stack Trace:
null
When I try the same URL without the ?WSDL on the end (so just http://test-box:7002/app/path/Service.jws), I see the nice Weblogic Web Service page, showing that it knows there's something there, but it has no content, just the 'Overview' tab, followed by:
Public Information
about Service.jws Web Service
and that's it - locally I see the same thing, but with options for viewing the WSDL and testing the service.
I'm confident that the URL is correct, because if I put rubbish in, I get a different error message.
Reading around, I've found lots of resources for 'how to deploy a web service to a production environment' for Weblogic 7, but much less for 8.1. I've seen references to jwsCompile, for example, which I think is specific to 7, because I can't find any references to it in the 8.1 docs, but perhaps that's wrong?
I'm pretty sure there's a configuration setting I'm missing, or a step in the deployment, but I'm stuck as to what it is!
Any advice gratefully received.
Edit: I should have mentioned that there are two other JWS's in the same app, both of which have the same symptoms as my new one (they've been there for a while, but are unused).

My gut reaction is that there might be an issue with the frontend settings not set up correctly, see 9.2 docs in lieu of 8.1 docs:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs92/webserv/setenv.html#wp220521
You should also open a support case as they could probably identify your issue quickly.

Windows 8 and OEM media with updates and software

Recently i had an idea to create a custom Windows 7, 8 OEM image that includes all the Windows updates and also has couple of softwares inside it (adobe reader, java, flash etc). I used MDT to do this. I came to this idea because every time i prepared
a computer for my customers it took a really long time with all the updates and software i had to install. When i started imaging Windows 8 i stumbled upon a little problem. As everybody knows Windows 8 OEM keys are no longer located on the stickers that are
on the computers. As i have understood it they are basically located somewhere in the BIOS. So, finally to my question :) . Is it somehow possible to retrieve the OEM key from the BIOS so that i could use my custom OEM image ? Right now i can't activate
my Windows 8 OEM's because there are no way for the operating system to access the key that is in the BIOS.

Hi,
The OEM license allows the organization to use that pre-installed image on that OEM PC only. If the PC fails in the future and the image needs to be restored, the organization needs to use the original recovery media provided by the OEM to re-install the
image.
I suggest you consult with the manufacturer for more information.

Cannot install Windows 7 "recovery media" on new Portege R600

I received a new R600 which I had wanted to buy with Windows 7 pre-installed, but the only option is to buy it with XP installed and "Windows 7 recovery media" (2 CDs) comes in the box, with no instructions. I started the computer, and did nothing but name it and choose a screen name; this brought up the desktop. Then I inserted the first of the 2 CDs: nothing. Powered off and started with that CD already in the disk drive: nothing. Called Toshiba tech help (phone seemed to be answered in India) and was instructed to perform several restarts holding down F12 or C: nothing. After a long hold while the tech sought help, was promised a call from his supervisor: so far (that was yesterday) nothing.
Can anyone suggest how I can either solve this issue myself or get some action from Toshiba?

Thanks for your reply. After two more calls to Toshiba Tech Help it turns out that the disc drive is defective (a music CD would not load and play). So I am returning the computer to Toshiba Direct in exchange for a new one.

New PCs Acrobat Reader hangs up IE 7 opening PDF

Hi,
we made all PCs new with Windows XP prof wit hactual MS Patches and only Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Starting Adobe Reader works
double click a pdf works
Opening a pdf in outlook works
ONLY OPENING A PDF IN IE 7 DOESN`T WORK. BLANK SCREEN AND IE: NO RESPONSE
Any Hints?
PS. Domain Administrator works, User as local Administrator works not.

Yes, it rules out any version mismatch. Still not sure what might be happening.
You say that it works when logging in as Domain admin works but doesn't for local admin. Who installed Reader - domain admin?
One thing to try would be to Repair using the local admin and see if that fixes the problem.
