Folder Redirection & Windows 8.1 using SSD Drive

I have Folder Redirection working on hundreds of computers using DFS. It has been going well. However, we recently deployed two Windows 8.1 machines to kick the tires on the OS. The machines have SSD's for booting, so they boot very quickly.
We login and only the one drive is there that is the home directory. I logoff, wait about a minute and login again and bingo they are all there. So I did that little check mark on Group Policy to wait for it to finish completing before login,
but no luck. The event warning I get is as follows:
The user 'W:' preference item in the 'Network Administrators {A8B731EA-F80D-4501-A790-2D0770AFD7A8}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070035 The network path was not found.' This error was suppressed.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Is the failed GPO only for Folder Redirection settings? If only Folder Redirection settings failed with the error? Please try to refer to the following thread to see if it helps.

H8-1240ef - installing Windows 7 on a ssd drive

Hi,
I have a HPE h8-1240ef with a 1 TB SATA III drive.
I would like to add a 64 GBytes SSD SATAIII Drive in order to install Windows 7 on it , to increase performances.
Since we do not have a "Windows 7 installation CD" with the HP machine, I do not know how to install Windows 7 on the SSD drive and swap the bootable volume, to have the SSD Drive viewed as C: Drive.
Many thanks for your help
This question was solved.

Hey Grboutin,
You will need recovery discs to recover the system. But you will need a 160GB SSD as the minimum size to recover the system using recovery discs.
You can create the recovery discs on your PC, just type in Recovery in the start menu and Recovery Manager should show up. Follow the instructions to create the recovery media either on DVD or a thumb-drive.
here is a link.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01867124&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&ju...
but - the key is - ANY SSD will not work, you HAVE to have a 160GB or larger to recover to. Otherwise you will need to purchase a retail version of windows.
good luck

Can't resize partition after upgrading to Yosemite (using SSD drive)

I upgraded to 10.10 and using SSD drive now. When I was using OS X 10.8.5, I could freely resize partition but not anymore. I guess because of the SSD drive and the new version of OS X, and Logical Volume Group could be involved. I don't want to waste 80 GB of SSD drive so really looking for a solution now. Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I had to go back to my old snow leopard install DVD, use the disk utility on that to repartition the drive. I made 2 partitions, installed Snow Leopard on one, used that to install Yosemite on the other partition and trashed the snow leopard install.
I haven't yet tried the Yosemite USB install method which would have probably been faster as I could have avoided installing SL.

Using SSD Drives for Booting and Apps

If I installed a fairly small SSD drive to boot from, would I be able to move my main Applications folder over to this drive as well? Would this improve an app's loading time as much as it improves the computer's booting time?
Thanks,
Adam

This is a constant question with new threads all the time about SSD, moving or leaving home folder, and applications.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13181608
SSDs do better if they aren't so small that the lack of TRIM (made up for by background garbage collection) and over-provisioning, as well as handling write amplification.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification
Sometimes the boot drive is going to be used, and needs that 20GB of free space. Some try to limit writing to SSD.
Smaller units don't always have the same specs, and some can be darn-right slow when it comes to writes. And especially true of some of the newest generation SSDs that are barely shipping now.
Pull your old drive and keep it off line as backup.
Copy your media and data folders and libraries.
Some leave their home folder with just home library ~/Library
Which is where your prefs, email, etc are kept and gets a lot of high I/O, but also where web browser abuse disk drives, generally doesn't get much beyond 1GB storage.
Boot time is over rated sign of performance. And for some reason can be slower. Not everyone is happy with apps launching, others find it makes a huge difference. Some SSDs I read where OS X wouldn't install so they had to clone their system using CCC or SuperDuper. CCC lets you copy just what you need.

Writing zeroes is not a good idea as it is still just 'writing'.
Any Sand Force (such as OWC that now switched to using SF controller) have BGC. The newer units have even more aggressive garbage collection.

Is it okay to do a bare metal Linux Mint 17 install, or do I need to keep Windows 8 on my SSD drive?

I will be installing a new Samsung EVO SSD drive in a new T540p. I really don't use Windows anymore, so I'm wondering if I have to keep Windows 8 on this machine and set up a dual boot with the new Mint 17 on the new SSD - or - can I just install the Mint on the new bare metal SSD? Can I do this and still have UEFI too? I'd prefer that. It would just be Mint 17 on the UEFI SSD.
Or is this a crazy idea? My old computer is dual boot and I just don't use the Windows OS anymore. It's just uselessly using up my drive space.
Solved!

The T540p is a really nice machine. I have Windows 8.1 running on mine. The display is fantastic. I'm sure you will really enjoy yours.

Trouble booting Windows 8 from mSATA SSD drive on HP Envy

I’m having an issue booting Windows 8 from my mSATA SSD drive (I believe that’s the correct terminology, it connects directly to the motherboard.) I have a HDD that, it appears to me, it is trying to boot from. The bios does not let me specifically select the boot drive, just disk. I can boot from the SDD if I either remove the HDD or go through boot options and select to boot from an EFI file. A little background – I’ve had this running Windows from the SSD drive since I got it (installed that way) and using the HDD for storage. My SSD drive had been removed and Windows installed on the HDD (since this is the HP forum I won't get into how this happened when I sent my laptop in for an unrelated repair.) Seems I should be able to get it booting from the SSD again since it has not changed. I’ve since removed the partitions and reformatted the drive. I also tried setting up the EFI files on the HDD using BCDBOOT, maybe I didn’t need to/did it wrong/something else. Seems this is not an uncommon issue but trying various things I’ve not yet been successful. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ralph,
thanks a lot for the helpful information! But the problem still persists, and I don't know what's wrong about the installation. I again checked the case and device are fully compatible with Windows 8 on USB 3 and the current boot camp drivers are installed - so everything should work perfectly fine as Windows 8 does natively support booting from external USB-3-devices.
I personally still assume it's rather a driver related problem as the external SSD doesn't even show up whilst booting into the boot menu with "Alt" pressed - I can only choose to boot from the external SSD within the "start volume" menu in OSX (which then doesn't work out when rebooting, unfortunately). I mean, if there was a chance to boot from the external SSD with the configuration I got right now, but OSX/the iMac just "doesn't know" it shall boot from the external partition and therefore rather chooses the internal boot camp partition, the SSD would at least show up in the boot menu when pressing "Alt" on start-up, or do I go completely wrong? I even tried to rename the internal bootcamp partition (which did not work out) or disable it in order to prevent OSX/the iMac to boot from the internal bootcamp partition, but it didn't help: After rebooting it again chose the internal boot camp partition to start from.
Might the deletion of the internal partition be worth a try? Meaning is there a realistic chance that the issue might be caused by that? I would give it a try although I really don't wanna loose the internal boot camp partition for no good reason (btw: would it be possible to clone an image back from the external SSD to the internal HDD then?). Or do you maybe have any other idea what driver could miss resp. could be wrong about the installation so the boot process from the external SSD fails...?
Again MANY MANY THANKS in advance for your further assistance, everybody!!

Any settings changes to best use SSD drives? - Intel X25M G2

Hi all... just got a Intel X25M G2 SSD drive and I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard. My question is:
What (if any) changes are there, to the default install, that will best take advantage of my SSD? I've read about the following
a) disabling the sudden motion sensor
b) disabling safe sleep (i.e. hibernate mode 0)
c) disabling spotlight
Can anyone comment on experience with these settings and are there any other ones I'm missing?
Any insights appreciated! Thanks.

ITunes library xml from windows to mac using external drive.

Hi there!
I'm a newbie on mac computers.. I've recently purchase a macbook pro retina.
So, I used to use iTunes in windows XP. My old computer crashed and I can't re-open it and save files...
Now, the only file I have from my windows library is an "library.xml" file.
The mp3 files that I had in previous iTunes playlists are in my external I: Drive. (not in Itunes folder).
I was searching in apple communities to see how I can transfer playlists in my new iTunes on mac.
But I can't find a solution to my problem... and unfortunately I don't know if there is...
I've try to set the iTunes media folder location my external hard drive, from Preferences-->Advanced-->iTunes media folder location.
Then I go to file-->library--> import playlist and I open the "library.xml".
The result is that I have all my playlists in tact, like it was in my previous iTunes.... But THERE IS NOT ANY FILE ON THEM!!!
So, I have only the playlists... Could you help me to set my I: drive as default path of itunes library, to get my playlists WITH the mp3s?
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you in advance.

Should I change the Preferences-->Advanced-->iTunes media folder location back to default folder?
That should be set to wherever you want iTunes to store media in the future (though it sounds like you are planning on keeping this unchecked anyway). It has no effect on where iTunes looks for existing files. That is already determined when you first add the file to iTunes or through later consolidating.
In theory you should be able to start iTunes with a blank library, use the import function to add that .xml file and it should still point to the files on the external. If that is not working then I guess it is possible all those %20 space designations may be causing problems. It's strange you are seeing those coded that way but it is likely some carry-over from Windows. The purpose of adding a test file to the external, then adding it to iTunes, then looking at the .xml is to see how Mac iTunes lists the path for a file on the external added when using the Mac so you can use that as a model for changing other paths if necessary.
Holding down the option key while starting iTunes (make sure you are using the correct key) or immediately after starting it should invoke a screen asking if you want to make a new library. If this is not working for you then I have no idea why because it works for hundreds of other people I have told to do this.

Question about AHCI setting for my pavilion DV6T-2000 in order to use SSD driver with TRIM support

Hi
My operating system is Window 7 ultimate
1.I have just updated my ssd Corsair P256 firmware to the newest version which enables Trim
2.I typed " fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify " and got the result " 0 " , so it is good.
3.I go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci" and know that the "Start"name has Data value "0".
4. I go to device manager and click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers". However, the only thing which i saw was:
"Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 Port"
i didn't see the "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller"
i tried to go the Bios setting to enable AHCI but HP bios won't let me change any setting except Booting priority. I am using the newest Bios version from HP(I have just updated it two days ago).
So my question is that: am i on set? or what i should do now to make the Trim work
if i am on set, does the Trim run automatically? do i need to do anything to maintain the SSD's performance?
thank you

If you right click on "Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 Port" and select properties, then go to the Driver Tab and hit the Driver Details button, you will see the iastor,sys driver is installed, so AHCI is enabled.

Folder Redirection Windows 7

Hello All,
Here is a little background on our issues. We have been using Start Menu and Desktop redirection in Windows XP for years. In our share location we redirect those paths to, we create our Application ShortCuts to just the approved applications. Then when the
user clicks on the start menu they see just those apps and nothing else.
Our issue is now this, in Windows 7 we can get the redirected applications to appear but it merges them with the rest of the start menu items that are in the image. So instead of having the 5 or 6 items on the start menu, we have ALL the icons on the start
menu plus our redirected icons.
Anyone know how to get rid of those icons that are in the "default user" profile and keep them from merging with our redirected icons?

Best folder redirection options for a large environment

I am just curious to hear what the community recomends for large environments for user's files. Meaning, is desktop sync better than creating home directories and using offline sync? I am just trying to find the best way to have users able to access their
files on or off the network. As well as the best way of managing users files. Making it easy for them to save files and be able to access them at home. Maybe linking their desktop and My Documents folder to a share? I am open for all suggestions. Now to give
you an idea, this is a county public school enviroment. So you have to have something that will work with Staff, Teachers, Administration, and students. Also realize this is a huge environment with multiple schools. I look forward to your suggestions.
Also, all clients are Windows 7 and servers would be 2008 R2 for this scenario.

What I would do is use Folder Redirection in a GPO, using the advanced properties. Assign Teachers, Students and Staff different security groups in AD, and then in your GPO, assign the group members of "Teacher Security Group" a folder redirection of 'Create
a new folder for each user' at \\SVR-DATA\Users\Teachers. Then use a cache to keep the files offline. You will know if this works as you will see 'CSC-CACHE' under the Home drive when offline. Look below...

Converting to SSD Drive for Boot Drive on m7 with Win8

I just bought a new m7-j020dx (product code E4S19UA#ABA) with Windows 8 from Best Buy. Unfortunately, it came with a standard hard disk drive (HDD) and I would like to install a Solid State Drive (SSD). I have an Intel 320 and 530 series drive. But I have not been able to get a bootable drive from this.
The first thing I tried was cloning the factory drive to a new 530 series drive using AOMEI Backupper. I got a write error on the third partition. I thought perhaps the drive was bad so I tried it again with an Intel 320 series SSD drive. Same error.
The next attempt was to clone the drive to another 1 TB drive (connected via USB), shrink the main partition with MiniTool and clone to the 320 series SSD. The cloning went fine. However, with the new SSD installed, the computer will not boot and I get "Error0x0000225", something about a file not found. Turning off "secure boot" in the BIOS setup did not help (I did this after the clone).
So I thought I would make a clean install of Win 8. I generated a recovery disk on a 32GB SanDisk USB drive using Win8's recovery disk generator (as instructed on the HP site). I then ran the recovery program off the USB drive and after a couple of hours of installing driver software and several reboots, I get an HP message stating the installation was not complete. Repeating the install did not help.
I am not sure what the problem is.
Is the USB recovery disk a made from the original HDD bad (one only gets one shot at it)? Do I need to order media from HP on disks? Are there issues with using SSD drives on these computers? Do I not have a BIOS settig correctly (UEFI)? Is there some Intel storage drivers getting in the way?
I think my next step will be to create a disk Image and then put it back to the SSD drive. But I doubt this fixes the issue with booting to it.
Another option might be to do a fresh build using Win8 media and then download and install each driver from the HP website.
Any ideas out there in the land of experts?
This question was solved.

What is the difference off sd and ssd driver ?

Hi,
I don't understand what is the difference between sd and ssd driver ?

Hi
Read
man sd
man ssd
sd - driver for SCSI disk
ssd driver for FC disk.
What driver will used depend what report driver of controller (HBA).
For example you install Qlogic HBA.
In case you install drivers from Qlogic - they report that is SCSI controller and will used sd driver.
In case you install driver from Oracle ( SUN) that bundled with SAN Foundation Kit, they report that is FC card and
will used ssd driver.

You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).
In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system/tool to link the two togther and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

Boot Windows AND FreeBSD from my MacBook Pro 8,3 using an external DVD drive. I'm considering to remove my DVD-ROM and replace it with an SSD drive. That doesn't seem to work. Why not?

As the title says, I'm attempting to boot off my favorite operating systems, Mac OS X, Windows 7 and FreeBSD from an external DVD drive. However, for some odd reasons, booting the Windows DVD and FreeBSD 9.1 install DVD from the external drive does not seem to work. I was able to create a bootable USB with the Windows installer, but whenever I attempt to do the same with FreeBSD, I only get an error message that says "No bootable device -- press any key to restart." Is this a limitation that Apple deliborately created? If so, why won't Apple let its customers do whatever they please with their computers, considering that customers who want to change the hardware and/or operating systems knows what he is doing, without having to worry about some silly Apple limitations?
If I sound rude, I apologize for that, as no impoliteness is intended from my side.
In advance, thanks. Have a wonderful day, everyone.

That is only partially correct at best.
When you are booting off Windows or any other operating systems that usually don't support EFI (including Windows), your Mac uses something called CSM-BIOS. And as long as that CSM-BIOS implementation on EFI-based Mac do not support booting off from USB (note that Mac OS X Installer works fine when booting from USB), not even a USB Apple SuperDrive which once was an internal drive, there mot definately is something for Apple to fix.
When attempting to install Windows via BootCamp, a somewhat hybrid GTP/MBR table is created. When you boot off the installer disc of the OS you intend to install (i.e. Windows 7, FreeBSD, etc), your Mac might not support the EFI boot option (at least my 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro doesn't support that), so the only way of booting that second OS installer is via the regular BIOS, which Apple's EFI based systems implement as CSM-BIOS.
