Format windows intallation directory alone

Hi,
details- pavilion dv6 3052 tx purchased before 1.5 years
I want to format windows intallation directory alone because i am having sensitive information in my hard disk and one more thing is i am not able to take backup of that data because my OS is corrupted.
Is it possible to do with recovery process ? 

Hello rajkannan90. What is the exact problem you're having that doesn't allow you to boot into Windows?
If the problem has shown itself recently you could try to use HP's Recovery Manager to perform a Microsoft System Restore. A system restore only restores the system files and drivers back to a known working state and should leave all personal files intact. This document covers this process. Microsoft System Restore is coverd under the "advanced recovery options available through F11"
Let me know if this helps.

  • Impact on roaming profile accounts if we Change User logon Name to Employee Number format in Active Directory for all User accounts

    I want to understand if we change User logon Name to Employee Number format in Active Directory for all User accounts, then what would be the impact on existing profile. Whether we need to change it manualy or it will connect to same profiles in terminal
    session.
    As i observed it create new profile after logon name changed to employee number where existing users profile settings get fails to load and prompt for new settings (such as outlook reconfiguration, share drive mapping etc.).
    Kindly let me know the proper process to overcome with this, how to connect same existing roaming profile with employee number format change.

    Hi,
    What if we change the user name of user account, will it have impact on roaming profiles.
    Yes, it will affect roaming profiles. Please rename the roaming profile folder as the new user account name, in addition, change the profile path in ADUC.

  • Windows Active Directory replacement

    Hello All,
    My company is using Windows Active Directory and now we are going to replace it with Novell solution. Is there any product from Novell to replace Windows Active Directory for 2 main features?
    - Group Policy
    - Windows users and workstations authentication and administration
    I did some researches on Domain Service for Windows, Identity Manager, ZENworks. Could you give me advice on which product meet my requirement?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,

    Well, that depends. If there's a need to still supply AD functionality
    after MAD is gone, then yes DSfW is a replacement. However, if that's
    not a requirement, then ZENworks Configuration Management is likely a
    better choice since it will provide much more Windows desktop
    administration capabilities than DSfW (or MAD) alone.

    I have an Excel workbook, which I am trying to save in Pdf file format on website directory at azure, and after creating pdf uploading it on azure blob storage. The code is working fine on local but on web server it is not uploading pdf on storage,
    Code Ex:
    //Save the document in html format
                    workbook.Save(excelFile);
                    string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName();

                    workbook.Save(pdfFile, SaveFormat.Pdf);
    Below code I am using to upload PDf file on Storage:
    private string UploadPdfFileToStorage(string filePath, string fileName)
                //Console.WriteLine("Second:=>" + filePath);
                // Retrieve storage account from connection string.

                byte[] file = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
                MemoryStream objMemoryStream = new MemoryStream(file);
                objMemoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                blockBlob.UploadFromStream(objMemoryStream);
                objMemoryStream.Close();
                return blockBlob.Uri.AbsoluteUri;
    Please help, thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Based on your description, your pdf file is saved to server side, so if you try above code on your local, you could read the file, but, if host your application to azure, you need to get the file stream first, then upload from the stream. Please set
    the breakpoint at: "byte[] file = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);" check this file variable.

  • How do I open up a Pages 5 document without the side formatting window also being open?

    I use my Macbook primarily for writing, and every time I open a new Pages 5 document the side formatting bar/window/panel is also open. I have a small screen on my 13 in macbook, so I have to close that window up so I have room for other windows to work on multiple Pages docs at once.
    Kind of a drag that I have to add an extra closing click each time I want to work on a Pages doc. Hey, those clicks add up after a while, right?
    How can I set the default so that a new (or old) page opens with the formatting window/bar already closed?
    I've already tried opening a blank doc, closing the formatting window,saving it as a template then setting that as my defalt "new document" template. When I open from that template the font style and size are the way I set them, but that darn bar is open.
    Thanks in advance for any clues as to how to remedy this situation.

    Peter,
    Yeah, that's what I'm doing now - just clicking it shut each time I open a doc. But man, what a cumulitavely annoying extra step that has not been there in the 4 or 5 years that I've been using Pages, but just showed up last week.
    Seems like there must be some sort of setting to make this not be the case.

  • How can I authenticate a User In Windows Active Directory?

But when I input a user name which is not exist in Active Driectory with a blank password, it will also return true. What shall I do? Ask every user must input a password withnot blank?

    This is usually a problem if Anonymous Binding is enabled. I have faced this in other Directory Servers, but I am not familiar with Active Directory.
    I think by default Active Directory disables Anonymous Binding, but you may want to check.

  • Change default format in "save as" file format window

    I month ago I asked the following question...
    "How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG."
    Recently while selecting JPEG in the "save as" format window, I accidently selected "Large Document Format" while holding down either "control", "option", "apple key", or "shift", or a combination of keys. Now the default format in the format window is "Large Document Format" (ext.PSB). I've changed the default from "Photoshop" which is still listed at the top, to "Large Document Format". I'd like to change the default to "JPEG" but I cannot replicate the correct key(s) to change the default format in the window.

    Hello TomGroup...
    I did not receive a satisfactory answer to the question. Yes, you can go
    into the Scripts but that is for experts and it is too much work.

    Any updates on this issue?
    I have a similar situation in that no matter what I'm working on, when I
    click "Save As' then the default format option is always .tiff    If I save
    as jpg and then go onto my next file, the default is still tiff again when I
    try to save  No matter what I try, tiff is also my default selection.  It's
    just one of those things that takes a mere 5 seconds to click the dropdown
    and select .jpg, but 5 seconds times a couple hundred files per day...it
    adds up.

  • How to create mailboxes under mac os x 10.6.4 either using ldapv3 or windows active directory?

    hi,
    i'm working on the mail server of our company. the plan is to implement the built in mail server feature of mac mini OS X 10.6.4 using either ldapv3 or preferably our existing window active directory users.
    i was able to set the open directory and can view the user accounts from AD. my problem is i do not have any clear documentation or manual on how to create mailboxes using either AD accounts or MAC LDAPv3. i already checked the manual of mac os x mail service administration and have found none pertaining to this case.
    i would really appreciate if someone can give me reference on how to do this. as of now im quite desperate because i have a deadline for this project.
    thank you in advance for your help.

  • SAP User Authentication via Windows Active Directory

    The non-profit company I work for as an SAP Security Admin has been using SAP since 1999.  We are currently running ECC 6.0, BI 7.0, and CRM 7.0.  With fewer than 300 SAP users, we have not implemented CUA, so each of our multiple clients in these systems is managed independently. 
    The company recently licensed and implemented some non-SAP software to be used by all of our employees (~1200) in keeping track of & catagorizing their work time; a very handy feature of this software is that it depends upon Windows Active Directory for user authentication.  Therefore, each employee logs into this time-keeping package by entering his/her standard PC userID & password.  If you can log onto your PC, you can log into the time-keeping software. 
    That got me thinking & researching, because our SAP users - especially those who have access to three or more SAP clients - must maintain their passwords independently in each SAP client that they hope to access in the future.  I'm certainly not the first person who has thought of how nice it would be to permit SAP users to log into all SAP clients across the landscape in which they have defined userIDs, using the same password that they are using to log into their PCs (i.e., the password that is stored & maintained in Windows Active Directory).  My quest has led me to find presentations on this topic that typically involve modules we aren't using & very complicated configurations that we really lack the time & resources to employ; or, to third-party solution providers who claim to be certified SAP partners who would love to sell us more software to provide this convenience, usually irelated to single sign-on, LDAP, etc.  The lowest pricing tier for such software usually would cover many times the number of SAP users we have to serve here - and it feels like trying to push in a tack using a sledgehammer.  It is true that we have not used the same userID for our PCs that we have defined in SAP, so there would need to be some way to translate from one to the other, but our PC password rules are consistent with those we have configured in SAP clients, so it seems to me it should be very simple.   Can anyone lead me to a more straightforward solution?  If not, can you articulate why this has to be so complicated using SAP software when it seems so simple using relatively inexpensive timekeeping sotware?

    Once installed, yes. This is all you need to maintain when users are added. You can even use LDAP if you like to sync all user info between SAP and MS AD domain, but this cannot sync the password, so using SNC authentication instead of using SAP passwords is ideal.

    Yes, that is correct. The mapping is maintained using standard SAP user management, such as su01. The user in AD domain might have long account name, e.g. "firstname.verylonglastname" which is too big for use as a SAP username so you can map this long AD account name onto a SAP user called FIRSTLAST in one or more SAP clients.

  • Redirection of deployment.user.cachedir to Windows Temp-directory

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the configuration of the cache-directory on a Windows Terminal-Server.
    On a Windows Terminal-Server each registered user gets a Windows temp-directory, which can be seen in variable %TEMP% and looks like "D:\temp\1" or "D:\temp\2" and so on.
    Now I want to redirect the cache-directory, set in file deployment.properties, property deployment.user.cachedir, to that temp-directory for the user.
    How can I configure JavaWS correctly ?
    Please help !! Thanks in advance

    Thank you for your response. I am using jdk1.3.1 and
    jre 1.4.2_01 which I just downloaded the other day.
    The properties did indeed list out in the console, but
    I will check a previous jre to see if they are there
    as well. I agree that if the property is available,
    then it should return the value.5. What system properties can be read by applets, and how?
    In both Java-enabled browsers and the appletviewer, applets can read these system properties by invoking System.getProperty(String key):
    key               meaning
    java.version          Java version number
    java.vendor          Java vendor-specific string
    java.vendor.url     Java vendor URL
    java.class.version     Java class version number
    os.name          Operating system name
    os.arch          Operating system architecture
    os.version     Operating system version
    file.separator     File separator (eg, "/")
    path.separator     Path separator (eg, ":")
    line.separator     Line separator
    Applets are prevented from reading these system properties:
    key               meaning
    java.home          Java installation directory
    java.class.path     Java classpath
    user.name          User account name
    user.home          User home directory
    user.dir          User's current working directory
    To read a system property from within an applet, simply invoke System.getProperty(key) on the property you are interested in.
