File Must Exist on Computer Compliance Help

I have been trying to create a compliance to see if a file exists in a location on the C drive and if it doesn't exist to create it.  I have set the following:
Configuration Item called mms.cfg, on the settings tab I have setting
type: file system
path: %Windir%\System32\Macromed\Flash
File or folder name: mms.cfg
On the Compliance Rules tab I have setting name mms.cfg
rule type existential, file must exist on client devices
For the configuration baseline I have it called 32bit flash update disabler pointing to the configuration item mms.cfg.  The deployment is set to remediate non complaint rules when supported.
My issue is that when the rule runs it says compliant but the file does not exist on my test computers.  Ideally it would check to see if the file exists and if not create it.  Maybe it doesn't work this way??
How can I get this to work?

Compliance Settings can only automatically remediate registry values and WMI values. You can you a script to do this however.
Not sure if this exactly what you are after, but it should be really close and should at least get you started:

  • Recovering Indesign files on a uni computer - please help !!

    Hi my indesign keeps crashing how do i recover my files ?! I'm on a university computer so there is no recovery folder, but the file defiantly does exist as it flashes up for a second before indesign crashes again (upon opening in design and clicking yes to recover data) Please help !!!!

    There is ALWAYS a recovery folder....
    But without a lot more info there's not much we can do for you. You must have a user account, with a user profile or user library stored someplace, probably on a server.

  • Need to replace pdf file on existing website. Please help!

    Our intern left this summer and we're clueless about Dreamweaver. We have a Spry Menu with a link to a pdf file of our employment application. Our application has been revised, and we need to replace it on the website.
    From what we have gathered, Spry Menu Widget is no longer available to download and we are unable to change the link to a new file via the widget because intern took his laptop with the widget installed.
    So to make do, I have downloaded the files from the website to my Local folder, deleted the old employment application pdf file and have replaced it with the new application with the exact same file name as the old one.
    My question is.... If I highlight the new application in our local folder and click upload, should this make the link in the menu bar go to the new application?
    Thanks for you help in advance!

    Ok, sure. So we needed to replace a pdf file that was linked from our spry menu bar. We didn't have the widget and didn't think we could download it, so we went to the folder on the bottom right hand side of the screen and opened the remote folder. We then highlighted all of those files except for the / file at the very top. We then clicked the down arrow to copy those files into our local folder. Once they were downloaded, we went into the local folder and found the file we needed to switch out. We then deleted that file, named our new file the exact same file name, and clicked and dragged it from our computer onto the same folder that contained the file we deleted. We then highlighted that file, right clicked and chose "PUT", as Jon had instructed us to do above. It uploaded the file. When it was finished, we checked our website and got an error because the pages wouldn't load. However, a few minutes later we tried again and everything worked perfectly. The new pdf file had replaced the old one and still linked properly from the menu bar.

  • Files must be composite...help!!!

    Hiya guys. Wasn't sure whether to pop this question in here or the Acrobat forum...so I thought I'd try here first!
    I think the answer might go one way or the other though; simple or a tad complicated?!?!
    Ok, I'm producing an ad for a magazine and the spec from the mag states the PDF file should be 'composite'. To tell the truth I'm not quite sure what this means! I've downloaded a .joboptions file from pass4press which is think is correct for the job and loaded that into my PDF options - but I'm not sure if this will create the composite file they require?
    I'm worried this get into a discusion about pre-separated v composite, cos all that looks quite complicated! I have notised though, that the spec I recieved from the magazine is from 2004 - has tech moved on since then and I don't need to worry about 'composite'?
    One thing I was wondering though; should I be creating the PDF from my INDD using 'Export' or the options through print?
    Any advice or explanation would be great guys

    That's the kind of answer I like
    So exporting is fine to produce the PDF the mag will need?

  • TS2776 why does my computer give me a cant find files notice when syncing my ipod? only about 1/2 of the songs transfer to computer out of the ipod. and the file must be on the ipod because i can play the song on it. i want to transfer all songs to my ipa

    why can't i transfer all songs on my ipod to my computer and then to my new ipad? i keep getting a message saying that about half of the files couldn't be found, and only about 1/2 of the songs went to the ipad when i first synced. the files must be on the ipod, because i can play all 448 from the ipod when disconnected from the computer. and all songs show up on my devices at itunes and can be played on the computer. but only about 1/2 are going to the ipad. i am no tech genius, obviously, but could someone please help me? thanks

    Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party.  It is great that you were able to transfer the ones you did.  There is a way to do it but it sounds like you already did it because if not half of them would not come over.  The files can probably not be found because they are third party and the files are not compatible with the transfer process.

    I just bought a new macbook pro and my CS6 migrated, but now when I open existing documents, it launches a free trial version. There doesn't appear to be a way to enter my serial number or communicate that I simply have a new computer. HELP! There is no customer support for this. I can't believe what a poor service company Adobe is!!

    The problem was that you migrated CS6. Unfortunately, migration doesn't work because it doesn't move all the files.
    First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove the components that were installed:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Second, you should install a clean copy of CS6. Here is a link:

  • Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

    hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?

    Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
    Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
    Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
    Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
    This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
    See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

  • File must be saved as a copy of this selection? can anyone help?

    ok so im on ps cs4 and all is well, i have been saving files as .png all day long and suddenly it stops allowing me to save as jpg,png and others as well, "File must be saved as a copy of this selection" is the message i got at the bottom of the screen. Can anyone help solve this problem?

    Did you change the bit depth?  Did you add one or more layers?  Did you add one or more channels?
    Whenever there's something in the image that cannot be stored because of a limitation of the output format (e.g., multiple layers or 16 bit per channel color and Save-As JPEG), Save As Copy will be selected by default.

    Synopsis
    Problem: Endless Black Box "You Must Restart You Computer..." loop
    Cause: Printing certain documents (so far one specific pdf file and a text file) through the wireless network at school initiates the problem and then all wireless networks perpetuate the problem thereafter
    Steps Taken: Unplugged wireless network - this allows me to log in
    -Warning box about fatal crash appears but "Send Report" does not produce any data
    -Restarting wireless after login causes no problems
    -Waking computer from sleep with wireless enabled causes black box to reappear
    -Permissions repair did not resolve anything
    -A complete reinstall solved everything until the other day when printing initiated the problem again, after having successfully printed numerous documents wirelessly over the past month
    Other strange things my computer does:
    -Makes very quite chirping sound with every key stroke (except arrows)
    -Usually sits at the grey startup screen with the spinning wheel for a long time and then speeds through login process
    -Only restarts successfully every second time after a hard-restart (the first time it just sits there spinning endlessly)
    More Details
    Problem: Black box appears notifying me "You need to restart your computer" (Kernel panic I believe?) I restart my computer once, and it sits forever at the grey screen with the little wheel spinning. I hard-restart my computer a second time and it logs me in and then the black box reappears... and then the whole process starts over again..
    Circumstances: I had this exact same problem occur about a month ago and it happened again under the exact same circumstances. I recently installed a Korean wireless router, some other foreigner had left behind, in my school here in Korea. The first time it happened I was trying to print PDF document wirelessly from my classroom and the black box appeared. Then the whole endless loop began...
    That night I tried to fix the problem at home. I was able to log into safe mode but the endless loop persisted when I tried a normal log in normally again. I finally did a reinstall from my external drive using the most up to date image I had created with Carbon Copy Cloner.
    The following day I went to school and couldn't resist trying to reprint the suspect document. My freshly installed computer crashed and I was ****** at myself for experimenting so early in the day. Then I tried unplugging the wireless router and restarting and it worked! Then I plugged the router back in and everything was running smoothly again.
    Now I have a new problem. If my computer wakes from her sleep with the wireless enabled I get the black box both at school and at home. I'd really like to avoid doing another reinstall... please help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Rich,
    Think my computer healed herself while I was away this weekend
    What I am wondering is if
    a Safe Boot will always get you logged in when the
    other problems are occurring.
    This question prompted me to try starting up in safe mode. I wanted to make sure the problem still persisted so I:
    1. Plugged in ethernet cable
    2. Turned on Airport
    3. Ensured WAN was functioning
    4. Shut Down my computer with just like I used to, with all network connections enabled
    5. Power ON -> Flawless start up, no black box!
    6. Put computer to sleep -> Woke up -> No black box!
    Weird eh?
    So the only way I can answer your question is based on previous experience. Logging in using safe mode did work the three or four times I used it the first time this problem occurred.
    I did nothing to my computer since this error, no updates, no permissions repairs and no sudo daily, weekly, monthly house keeping. When classes were finished Friday night, I came home, put my computer to sleep with Airport off and ethernet unplugged and the following morning I shut her down, hid her in my sock drawer, and left for the weekend!
    My only explanation is that somehow reconnecting to the wireless network at school allowed my computer to resolve unresolved issue it was having with that network, the same network that instigated the problem. That's my best guess.
    Thanks for taking the time to try and help me out with this issue. The clarification you sought definitely helped us get a more refined picture of the problem. I'm sure this issue will rear its ugly head again in the near future... that is, unless you or anyone else have some ideas about what I could do to prevent this from happening again.
    -Greg
    FU,
    Here's the info you wanted:
    -Only restarts successfully every second time after a hard-restart (the first time it just sits there spinning endlessly)
    This might indicate a dying backup battery (the one that keeps your PRAM healthy)
    My PowerBook isn't even a year old yet, could it be that my battery has died this quickly? Hmmm, another thing I have experienced is that my Mac wont wake from sleeping if I have let the power get so low that she has been forced to sleep.
    1. "10 minutes of battery power remaining" box appears
    2. Battery depletes and computer enters sleep mode by default
    3. I go home and plug computer into power adaptor
    4. Computer fails to wake up no matter how long I wait -->power adaptor light does indicate the battery is charging
    5. I am forced to unplug my computer, remove the battery and hold down the power switch.
    6. Power on -> Date and time settings have changed and need to be set again
    Does this sound like the symptom of a low backup battery?
    make sure that "Set time & date automatically" in the Date & Time System >Preferences is unchecked.
    I've never tried this so I'll give it a shot and see if performance improves.
    now it seems almost obvious: 99% looks like a network fault and nothing >to do with your Tiger installation...
    Perhaps, I'm no networking specialist, but I have flawless network performance until printing some random document at school over wireless triggers the whole series of events I mentioned above. My home router has never triggered this problem... although I have never tried to print wirelessly at home because I have no printer.
    1) how big is your network? (how many wireless and how many wired Macs >access your Router)
    At Home: Very small, 1 PowerBook 64 and one iBook G3
    At School: Small: Two Windows machines and my PowerBook G4. Wireless box is plugged into the existing router that was there. I have windows printer sharing checked in the "sharing" section of "system prefs"
    2) make/model of your router
    D-Link DI-624 (Home)
    Some crazy old dilapidated korean box (at school)
    3) how do you configure your router (via the browser (Safari) or via a >utility/application provided by the vendor)?
    I believe I configure it manually... I access the router via web browser and configure my settings
    4) make sure DHCP is set to Off/Disabled and set your IPs for both your >Macs and the Router manually
    Check, Check
    5) If you're familiar with network settings like hosts file, post back your >configuration / make sure your IP addresses are assigned correctly
    Not familiar
    btw your PowerBook has an AirPort Extreme card or a 3rd party Wireless card?
    AirPort Extreme card
    Thanks for trying to help FU, hope this information helps you.

  • "file already exists"

    Hi there!
    Photoshop CS4 gives me a strange error. When trying to save a psd file as a jpg (using "save as"), it doesn't change the extension when selecting jpg from the format drop down menu. This results in a message, saying that the original file already exists, or when I save it to a different location, I get a psd file with jpg algoritm. Anyone any idea?
    I'm using XP SP3. Other programs do not have this issue. For instance, when working in Adobe Acrobat, and trying to save a pdf in the rtf format, it correctly changes the file extension, and saves the file as rtf.
    Thanks in advance!

     The problem must either lie with Photoshop, or a combination of Photoshop on my XP configuration.
    Most probably, since I don't get that problem. Maybe try installing the 11.0.1 update (if you haven't yet). If that doesn't work, then try to figure out the extent of the issue.  Try PS in a different Windows user account (create a new one), and turn off the unnecessary stuff that runs in the background on your computer. If you're not familiar with msconfig, then see this document for turning of background stuff:
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404984_en-us
    Let us know if either of these change the situation, and hopefully we can help you out from there.
    Also, have you installed any plug-ins for PS? Maybe one of these is interfering with Photoshop's jpeg plug-in somehow. Check out this document:

  • PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !

    I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
    Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
    I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
    I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here  that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem.  But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
    Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
    Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.

    Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
    Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
    I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
    I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
    Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
    I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
    I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories?

  • How do I read and write to text files on a remote computer's hard drive

    I would like to read and write data to a text file on a remote computer. This is easily accomplished using one of the file functions such as "write characters to file.vi". If I am already connected to the remote computer, all I need to do is specify the path to the particular file and it will work fine.
    My problem is that I want to connect to the remote computer programatically within LabVIEW (I do not want to have to use the computer's OS to establish the connection. Is there a function that I can use to do this?

    Yariv,
    You should really start a new thread with a new question like this, so that more people see it. Some people look primarily at threads that have no responses yet. Also, don't post the exact same question in multiple places. Or, if you must cross-post to some other forum, make sure to mention it in your question text.
    I'm happy to be a brick in your Western Wall, but I'm not sure what the main objective is here. Is the main problem really getting access to the "X bytes received in Y seconds at Z bytes/sec" string? Or is it accomplishing the file transfer? And what OS and LabVIEW version are you running?
    I think your problem is that you the LabVIEW System Exec command does not allow for the degree of interactivity that you need if you want to issue a sequence of commands to a command-line executable. However, under Windows XP (and, presumably, other Windows versions, though I can't check), you can tell the FTP executable to use commands from a textfile script by using the -s switch, and you can override the prompts during multiple file transfers with the -i switch:
    ftp -i -s:FILEPATH SERVERNAME
    If you issue a command in this format to System Exec, and make sure to create a file at FILEPATH with your command sequence (one per line), then you should at least accomplish the FTP actions. This won't give you the transfer details in the standard output, unfortunately. However, if you just want a general sense of how much was transferred and how quickly it happened, you can code that in LabVIEW by getting the resulting file sizes and using Tick Count before and after the System Exec call to see how long the transfer took.
    Hope that helps,
    John
