DFS and Windows 7 x64 strange behavior when trying to access a DFS link through mapped drive

I've manually mapped a network drive (Q Drive) to a DFS location. Whenever I go into "My Computer" and open the Q Drive it shows the DFS links but when I double click one of the links it randomly takes me back to the "My Computer" starting point showing my standard drive letters. If I click through the Q drive and the DFS several time it all of the sudden works. Sometimes this circle of clicking can go on for 5-10 times before it works properly.
I'm running the x64 edition of Windows 7. Any suggestions on how to make this work properly? Its very annoying.

GPO mapped namespace where you can't connect through the mapped drive letter but can connect through the DFS UNC namespace? Do you use access based enumeration?
I personally think it has something to do with network bandwidth, the security token and offline files. =)
You can access the namespace itself but not any of the linked shares (try checking the ACL:s on the shares and you get permission denied, but you still see them, ie they are listed).
I found a post sometime ago about corrupted/trunkated security tokens. If the member was part of too many AD groups the token was trunkated and corrupted. That was going to be my next move. Sniff the traffic and see what actually happens when the issue occur
if theres something to be learnt there. Since it works correctly through the UNC adress but not through the drive letter you ough to be able to see what is different between the two requests.

One thing I noted was that it only happened to remotely connected computers on slow 3G connections (we use Direct Access). Never on LAN-connected computers with GB access or remote computers with fast (>15Mbps) access. We also use folder redirection,
which I think could be part of the problem, ie the share never goes online, atleast for us the issue was itermittent, it never happend all of the time, just from time to time. And if I disconnected and reconnected it could fix the issue for that particular
sessions, usually it didn't but occasionally it did (just pulling the network cable and put it back). Check the offline/online status the folders show up as offline even though they are online.
Enough of my ramblings. Sorry to hear you still have the problem and I hope you find a way to solve it.

Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.

Strange behavior when "trying" to burn a disk.

At least I think this is strange behavior, following the instructions in the help viewer, topic "Backing up your music to a CD or DVD." One thing for sure, it's not burning a disc and it ain't telling me why.
I select the playlist and click "Burn Disc"
Requests a blank disc. I insert one.
Message "checking media"
after about a minute, the disc ejects
Message "checking media" displays another 30 seconds
No other messages displayed.

Whoops, sorry, this was while burning a playlist.
I've also tried some Pleomax CD disks (Samsung), with no luck. I've tried burning directly from iTunes, and from Toast 7.
Of the types I've tried, the Sony DVD's have been the best for me. Haven't tried many types though. Maybe I can get disks one at a time until I find a brand my burner likes.
Still, isn't it strange that there is NO error message? It just quits?

Strange behavior when trying to change backgrounds after Aperture install

Running 10.5.1 on my MacBook Pro without a hitch until today. Installed Aperture 1.5 and updated it to 1.5.6 last night and it too works fine.
However, today when I went to change my background image in System Preferences I encountered some strange voodoo. I originally under the Desktop applet in System Preferences I had the default images and folders supplied with the operating system, and one images folder I maintain under my Documents folder for my personal backgrounds.
Now I am no longer able to view my personal backgrounds folder in the System Preferences Desktop applet to select one of my images as a background. Instead I have, literally, two occurrences of the Aperture Projects folder listed under the default operating system background image options.
Initially I found I cannot discard either instance of the Aperture folder, nor can I re-add my personal images folder (states the folder is already in the list as an option). Naturally I figured something might be amiss with permissions. So I rebooted and ran the Disk Utility which checked my drive to find no pertinent errors. No change in symptom.
Next I renamed my personal images folder. This produced a change in symptom.
Now I only observed one occurrence of the Aperture Projects Folder in the System Preferences applet. However, when I went to add my newly renamed personal images folder the second occurrence of the Aperture Projects folder appeared and would not let me access anything therein.
Could certainly be a problem specific to 10.5.1, but thought it worth posting here in case anybody else wants to try to troubleshoot or has the same voodoo. Plus, the problem did not occur in 10.4.X running Aperture - so I think it is pretty specific to 10.5.1.
Not a show stopper, but certainly weird. Hopefully not indicative of any additional problems lurking under the covers.
TIA for any input or responses.

it is a bug in leopard that we have uncovered ...
adding an iphoto library solves the issue ...

Strange message when trying to access an URL

An example of a shortcut to an URL and the message: Windows cannot find `http://www.google.ca/`. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search. OK
This message appears whenever I try a shortcut to an URL but the URL does open in the background. It is just getting rid of that annoying message that appears. This does not occur in Internet Explorer.

SO I am getting a strange error when trying to access the FIM Management Agents

Hi Everyone,
So I am getting a really odd error when I go to FIM --> Management Agents -->MOSS-guid ID right click on that and choose porperties, then Configure Connection Information, then I click OK and I get this pop up error "the type of 'pictureurl' string
is not compatible with the type of 'sps_mv_octelstring_pictureurl'. I got here by noticing that in the error log there was an error that said:
The management agent "MOSS-guid ID" failed on run profile "MOSS_EXPORT_Guid ID" because the server encountered errors.
when I searched on that error, it lead me to a ton of blogs that said to do the following:go to FIM --> Management Agents -->MOSS-guid ID right click on that and choose porperties, then Configure Connection Information at the bottom of the page there
is a Connect To field and every blog I read said to change it to direct:{Domain}:{Port}. The thing is that my domain and port were fine, so that is when I clicked ok, and got that error message. Ever since this happened, my FIM has been broken, and I really
can't figure out why???
So I haven't done any updates to the server in at least a year, so nothing could be happening there.
Any help at all with this would be taken with the greatest appreciation.
Best regards, Mike

What you're doing is unsupported. You need to manipulate the MAs via Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications, find your UPA SA and manage it. You can then Manage User Properties and make changes to the Picture property from here.

URGENT..error when trying to access mod plsql link on intial 9ias server page

Can anyone provide me with a solution to my problem?
When I finished my installation of 8.1.7.1(patchset)DB, then 9ias 2.1
I try to access the mod plsql link to access the server gateway. However the following error appears.
'You cannot login because there is no configuration information stored in the enabler configuration table. (WWC-41439)'
I've found out it might be due to the SSOHash java class not executing. As a result I ran an sql statement that showed i'm missing login server data. Tried a fix but didn't work.
Does anyone know what I can do apart from a re-installation?
thanks

Did you run ssodatan in order to setup the wwsec_enabler_config_info table?

I am sure you are using exchange 2010 or later. Using this utility to see what certificate you have.
you will need a SAN certificate.
To check and import certificate properly use this digicert util

Check this.

Error when trying to access the RBAC User editor and Message tracking

Hi,
I am getting an error when trying to access the RBAC User editor and Message tracking on the Web Mgmt interface. I verified that the admin account trying to access is in the Organization Management group and has the correct Role Assignment Policy applied.
I searched through this thread below and saw that matching the msExchRoleLink and msExchUserLink attributes fixed the issue.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/fc568cc6-8691-4127-b70b-bcc82f9b1f7f/first-2010-cas-server-no-administrator-rights-emc-permissions-gone?forum=exchange2010
However I have another environment where this is not the case and works just fine; the msExchUserLink attribute has a value of CN=Organization Management,OU=Microsoft Exchange Security Groups,DC=Domain,DC=Local which is different as per the issue outlined in
the above thread so I am not convinced that this will work and also don’t want to blindly edit something in adsiedit without being sure.
I then checked the event logs on the server and saw the below error logged;
Current user: 'Domain/Server Services Accounts/administrator'

I then had a look at the IIS permissions for ecp and owa. The account did not have permissions so I added them there but still got the same error. I’ve also tried all of the above with a newly-created account but still got the same issue.
Any ideas as to what the above event log is specifically referring to?

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
If you want to search message tracking logs, the account you use should be a member of the role groups below:
Organization Management role group, Records Management role group, Recipient Management role group.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

It doesn't matter what web link/site I go to it happens. It is an issue with some plug-in?

I have advised McAfee's product team of the problem and this thread, and they're looking into it now.
