"Device Manager is running in read-only mode because you are running it on a remote computer" when local
Hello - since configuring a Windows Web Server 2008 R2 x64 to be hardened for an internet-facing deployment I receive this:
"Device Manager is running in read-only mode because you are running it on a remote computer."
when entering Device Manager.
I have tried reversing the changes I have made, such as:
- Re-adding Client for Microsoft Networks
- Re-enabling NetBIOS over TCP-IP
- Re-adding File and Printer Sharing
- Disabling the Windows Firewall in all profiles (public, domain, private)
I get no joy. It looks like a Microsoft ballsup. I'll try and use Process Monitor to have a look. Google returns only 1 page for this error.

Got it.
After my changes to DHCP and static IPs the machine picked up the IP address of another server on my little home LAN. The hostname in IPCONFIG was different to the actual server computer name and so this led Device Manager to think the connection and the
local machine were different.
What an odd and infuriating problem. My thoughts on this are that Microsoft should be more verbose with error messages and their causes. For example, displaying the values of the assertion would help diagnose a problem; "The host-name www02.farm.brand.com
that you are connecting from does not match the local host-name rest01.dev.farm.brand.com. Connections from remote computers can only use Device Manager in read-only mode; some options will be disabled."
When troubleshooting, the main thing on an engineer's mind is "what has led Windows to its [unexpected] conclusion?"

Issue regarding open word file and read only mode using c# & MS-word interop
i am programmatically open a word file for search and highlight keyword. my routine is working fine. the problem is when i am opening the file programmatically then a dialog come and ask me to open file in read only mode. the dialog look like below one
actually i do not want to open the file in read only mode because people can open and like to change and save. so guide me what i can do to not to open the file in read only mode.
here is my full code. just have a look and tell me what is wrong in my code or tell me any trick as a result i can open the file not in read only mode. here is my code.

word = null;

GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again. -
Role to access PFCG in "read-only mode"
Hi,
I've created a role to access transaction PFCG in "read-only mode", because some functional consultants asked for it.
However, it still gives them access to perform the "User Comparison" and I would like to remove that as well.
The role has the following authorization objects and values:
S_TCODE-TCD = PFCG
S_USER_AGR-ACTVT = 03
S_USER_AGR-ACT_GROUP = Y-, Z- (these are the allowed role names)
I really don't know what to do... any ideas?
thanksHello Gary,
Yes, I also noticed that. The restriction of a user compare in PFCG in the F4 help in PRGN_CUST, is the same SAP note as that for activity 22 (assigning the user to the role)...
You could have posted this on Sunday evening, that way Monday morning is closer to test it
Cheers,
Julius

Roll back segments into READ-ONLY Mode
To bring an v8 database into READ-ONLY Mode do we need to put the Roll back tablespace RBS also into READ-ONLY Mode?
You can put database in READ ONLY mode in Oracle 8i
READ ONLY / READ WRITE Example
The first statement below opens the database in read-only mode.
The second statement returns the database to read-write mode and clears the online redo logs:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ WRITE RESETLOGS;---

Hi friends.
In my job we insert data in some tables, in the end of the month we do some operations with this data and for the next month we use other tables.
How do I change my tables for read only mode, because is so dangerous that for error erase the old tables?Hi,
You can revoke all privs like insert, update, delete... from all other users for these tables. Then only the owner can do some damage.
If the database user is used by many different people and you rather don't trust them, copy the 'old' tables to another schema and don't spread the password.
And most important: Have backups in place! -

ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but WDR_TEST_ADOBE, runs fine
Dear readers,
I am working on an Adobe form, now ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but when i run WDR_TEST_ADOBE, it runs fine and it is interactive and I am able to click on the buttons.
I compared the form from WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and changed the layout to ZC1, and run the Web dynpro script. After activating and running the webdynpro, I see that it is still acting strange and none of the input fields are accepting input.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the ADS or live cycle designer.
Some setting in my Webdynpro is preventing this form from being displayed correctly.
When I attach the form - "WDR_TEST_ADOBE_SIMPLE" from the WD - WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and test my WD, The form is being displayed as read only.
which again leaves to the conclusion that the something is not right in the WD.
~Any suggestions are appreciated, thanksAlso in the interface properties under sfp,
when I change the interface type from
"ABAP dictionary based interface" to
"XML schema based interface".
All the entries under Form interface->Import parameters get wiped out, and I have to enter them again.
Also below is the system information.

As of NetWeaver 7.0 SPS10 we strongly recommend you use ZCI forms with an XML interface only.

Gurus,
I have three essbase databases in my environment, and I am planning to run a command to sync the three dataases.
During the sync process, I do not want the users to log in to any of the databases, meaning I dont want users to have access to any of them or change any data in the databases.
Is there a way where I can put the databases in 'read-only' mode so that I can run the command.
Or is there any other script or any process I can use so that users wont have access until I complete the sync process.
Any suggestion is appreciateD
ThanksMaxl would probably be your best bet since you are likely using it with the data migrations.
alter application "appName" disable connects; /* nobody lower than applciation manager can connect */
This has a number of options
- disable updates
- disable commands (Prevent all requests to databases in the application, including non-data-specific requests, such as viewing database information or changing database settings. All users are affected, including other administrators. Administrators are affected by this setting as a safety mechanism to prevent accidental updates to databases during maintenance operations.)
More detailed info is at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_altapp.html.

EDITED
If this is a planning application, you will also want to deal with those connecting to Essbase through Planning. This is handled through the Application Mode (see http://in2hyperion.com/post/2012/09/26/Change-Application-Maintenance-Mode-via-Command-Line.aspx on automating). Keep in mind, any connection from Planning to Essbase uses an admin ID, not the user ID.

VD offline;still the Volume is accessible in read-only mode.
Hi,
In our lab, we have a test server setup with Windows 2012 R2(Build 9600) Standard edition installed.
As part of our test exercise, we need to induce the failure of a RAID 0 drive(internal storage) and carry out the volume/applications recovery.
We induced the drive failure by pulling out a disk drive from a RAID 0 volume. As soon as the drive was pulled out, the LSI storage controller reported the VD offline. The windows disk management did show the uninitialzed/unallocated drive
on rescanning drives.
But the specific volume is still accessible from Windows explorer in read only mode. The applications(sql server database) that are running on the specific volume are also running fine (they are of read-only nature).
We are quite surprised by this behavior. Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Jishahave you attempted a reboot? Pulling a drive may have different behavior than a failed drive.
LSI is a raid controller but if you see both drives it sounds like you may be using a software raid? -
Team Calendar in Read-Only Mode in Leave Request Approver Screen
Hi,
After lots of interaction and inputs in my previous thread,
Customization Done for 2 level approval of leave in ESS but Facing Problems
Our Team had decided to make the Team Calendar in Leave Request Approval Screen in Read-Only Mode (more precisely modus=TeamView)
My question is, is it possible to achieve the same, because instead of adding custom validations using Custom RFC, If it is possible to make the Team Calendar as Read-Only than it will help us to achieve our goals. Please do let us know that is it possible? and, if Yes, How to achieve it?
On leave request approval screen, we want Approver to take any action via "Show Worklist" and No User Action allowed on Team Calendar (Disabled but not InVisible).
Thanks,
Regards,
Tushar Shinde.This is the note 1484853 but as i said you cant see it unless you raise a Message for SAP , We have to add yout company to the note.
these are the steps
Symptom
In LeaveRequestApprover application, a higher level manager can
approve/reject a leave though he/she is not the owner of the approval
workitem (TS12300097). It happens when a higher level manager clicks on
the leave in the TeamCalendar launched from the LeaveRequestApprover
application.
Other terms
LeaveRequestApprover, TS12300097, prepare_select, WorkList,
LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF07
Reason and Prerequisites
Reason:- This is caused because the approve/reject button were not
restricted based on the logged in user.
Prerequisites:- IT105 entries for the backend PERNRs should be correctly
maintained.

My external hard drive is in Read Only mode...
My external hard drive, which I have used before, is in "Read Only Mode."
I have put files on this drive and taken files off of it before, so it isn't an NTFS issue.
I am still able to write with a different Mac.
FYI, this is a Late-2011 Macbook Air.You are about to format your storage device. Be sure to copy and take the back up before formatting. Just select the physical disc you want to reformat in the tree on the left-hand side of Disk Utility. You can select a new file system format from the drop down below, and also name the new volume to be created. Showing the info of the newly formatted drive, you can see the disc is now set to read and write.

My Finder is opening folders in Read-Only Mode.
When I click on Finder. A folder is opening in read only mode. When I open any folders in it, then a new window is opened again in read only mode.
Just the "New Finder Window" is having this problem.
Please help me out with my problem. I want the Finder to open windows normally rather than in read only modes.Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply. -

GPO settings - documents in sharepoint 2007 sometimes open in read-only mode - needs IE reset to fix
Hi,
We've got an intranet running on SharePoint 2007.
We also enforce alot of group policies to our users.
But there is a problem that keeps reoccuring:
On random moments, when a user tries to edit a document on any random document library in SP 2007, it gets opened in read-only mode.
The only temporary fix we found for this is resetting the IE settings in Internet Options -> 'tab' advanced -> Reset IE settings... and pressing Reset.
We think it is some GPO setting that we have malconfigured or forgot to configure and we hope that someone could point us in a direction to troubleshoot or even solve this.
Thanks in advance for reading and providing help.
InkendaalHello,
I also suspect that there might be issue with IE plug-in so could you confirm that? you can also tell su what plug-in you see in IE.
