  • Deploying Windows 8.1 via System Center 2012 - Microsoft account default sign-in option when Fingerprint software is installed

    Hi Everyone,
    Just seeing if anyone knows a fix for this, basically when I deploy Win 8.1 using SCCM 2012, the deployment is successful, joins to the domain during the task sequence.
    My issue at the moment is that, at the login screen it's defaulted to sign-in with email address (microsoft account) below I can select Domain or Fingerprint
    How do I change it so that it defaults to Domain sign-in, when I deploy Win 8.1 without Fingerprint software, it defaults to domain sign-in which I'm after.
    Device is Lenovo ThinkPad x240 AL
    Many thanks,
    Max

    Hi,
    According to your description, I'm not sure whether your system deployment is full successfully, if your system just had one User Account, you will doesn't have switch user option at login screen.
    So, firstly, please check your computer user account after you login into system, make sure your domain user account has been created and enabled.
    Scondly, try to use Switch User feature at Start Screen for test, make sure your system work properly. if not, you can try to use
    netplwiz command to open User Account. In this interface, you can choose which user account as default user.
    If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

  • How to call adobe's default signing dialogue after my own signature capture dialogue

    Hi,
    Working from the DocSign example I have create my own dialogue in which I can enter my signature and successfully draws the signature and signs the document (with my hardcoded sefl-signed certificate). I want to give the user the option to choose his/her own certificate or to generate a self-sign certificate (just like the adobe's default signing dialogue).
    Is there a way in which I can call the default adobe's signing dialogue right after I have called my signature dialogue? So that it still draws my signature, but uses the default siging to sign the document?
    Regards,
    Magda

    I'm confused here.
    You want Acrobat to do the actual signing BUT you want to provide the appearance for the signature field only – is that correct?

  • How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document?

    I'm not sure if this is the right neighborhood to post this question, but here goes. How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document icon. I've been without MSWord for a long while, so all my word processing docs have been written in TextEdit, the stock mini-word processor that comes with OSX. Now I have MSWord and I no longer need TextEdit. Even more importantly, I'd like Word to automatically open when I click on a doc created in TextEdit. Adding ".doc" at the end doesn't do it. It's still refers to TextEdit to open the document.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,

    Select a document of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

  • How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows?

    How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows? And how can I have Safari always open in full screen mode? I have to set it every time I open Safari.

    The feature you are talking about in System Preferences does work and is not related in any way to the one at startup.
    One restores the windows of an application you've quit, the other reopens all windows you had open at shutdown or restart.
    Why should "I" have to constantly turn off a checkbox when I shutdown the system?
    You don' t have to.  Did you have a look at my post just above yours?  With a double click you can have your restart without opening the last open windows.  That's less than clicking the apple icon and selecting "restart" or "shut down" and then clicking "Restart" or "Shutdown" again.

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.

  • [Forum FAQ] How do I change default values shown in Report Delivery Options?

    Introduction
    Some users want to change default values shown in Report Delivery Options when creating standard subscriptions. Someone might want to always Cc the report to a specified user without sending the report URL. So they want to display those default values display
    automatically when creating standard subscriptions like below.
    Solution
    To achieve this goal, please embed JavaScript code into the SubscriptionProperties.aspx file to change those default values (By default, the file’s location is: <Installation directory>\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Pages\SubcriptionProperties.aspx).
    The example below will show how to set default values for “Cc” field and “Include Link” field.
    Before coding, pleas find out the corresponding HTML tags of the two fields in the browser using IE Developer Tools.
    Get “Cc” field with its corresponding HTML tag
    Get “Include Link” field with its corresponding HTML tag
    Embed such a code snippet at the end of the existing code within the SubcriptionProperties.aspx file
    <script runat="server">   
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page),"MyScript", "var cc = document.getElementById('CcEmailAddressesID');cc.value = '[email protected]';var IncludeLink = document.getElementById('ui_cbIncludeLink');IncludeLink.checked
    = false;",true);}
    </script>

  • [Forum FAQ] How to show Windows Update in Control Panel in Clean Installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

    Scenario
    If you performed a clean installation of the new Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926, you would find Windows Update is only available in
    Settings and is hidden in Control Panel by default. However, Windows Update is still available in Control Panel if it is an upgrade version of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.
    Solution
    After the comparison of the two different version, the differences is the following registry:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled
    In clean installation version:
    In upgrade version:
    The method to make Windows Update show in Control Panel in the clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926:
    Edit the REG_DWORD value of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled from 1 to 0.

    We’ve seen a few forum posts talking about changing registry keys to alter the update experience we shipped in Technical Preview build 9926. There are a couple of reasons that we don’t recommend doing things like that.
    First, the default experience is what we’ve tested across not just the Windows 10 team, but across all of Microsoft before we released it to you. That doesn’t mean that you won’t still find bugs, but it’s definitely the code that’s been most thoroughly
    tested. Changing things back to older versions is risky because the combination of those old settings with the rest of Windows 10 is not something that’s been validated or supported, so we can’t predict the side effects. It’s possible that changing registry
    settings related to update could cause a machine to no longer be able to get new updates or Technical Preview builds.
    The other reason to avoid changing the default update experience is that a lot of update-related code is actually being re-written in order to scale across the variety of different device types Windows 10 will support. Since Technical Previews are
    a work-in-progress, some code that may still be in build 9926 won’t actually ship in the final version of Windows 10 that we provide to all our customers, so trying to re-enable that code temporarily won’t provide a way to accurately assess Windows 10’s update
    capabilities.
    We want to hear your feedback! We’re sharing Technical Preview releases early so we can understand exactly how customers are using our software and make sure we are designing our experiences to address those scenarios. The more
    specific the feedback, the more helpful it is for us – saying “I hate the new Windows Update UI” isn’t very useful, but when we see “I need to be able to tell Windows Update to grab updates from WU itself and not from my internal corporate server, so the new
    Windows Update UI is painful for me”, we can actually understand what changes we could make to solve those specific problems. We can’t promise to fix everything that everyone asks for – and sometimes what one customer wants is exactly what another customer
    doesn’t want – but the more you can help us understand why you want something changed, the better we can try to meet those needs.
    Thanks for listening, and we look forward to hearing your responses.

  • [Forum FAQ] How do I limit the rendering extension of a report in Report Manager?

    Question:
    There are scenarios that users need to disable some rendering extensions for some specific report. Since the rendering extension is configured for all report, if we modify anything in rsreportserver.config file, it will apply to all reports. How to achieve
    this kind of requirement?
    Answer:
    Since disabling some extensions is only applying for specific reports, we can’t directly modify the configuration file. However, we can have a workaround to achieve this goal on HTML page level. We can embed javascript code in Report page to hide the rendering
    extensions in export format list based on the name of report.
    Open the Report.aspx, the default location is
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS12.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Pages
    Add the Javascript code below into the file:
    <script language = "Javascript">
    //javascript: get parameter from URL
    function getParameter(paraStr, url)
        var result = "";
        //get all parameters from the URL
        var str = "&" + url.split("?")[1];
        var paraName = paraStr + "=";
        //check if the required parameter exist
        if(str.indexOf("&"+paraName)!=-1)
            //if "&" is at the end of the required parameter
            if(str.substring(str.indexOf(paraName),str.length).indexOf("&")!=-1)
                //get the end string
                var TmpStr=str.substring(str.indexOf(paraName),str.length);
                //get the value.
                result=unescape(TmpStr.substr(TmpStr.indexOf(paraName) + paraName.length,TmpStr.indexOf("&")-TmpStr.indexOf(paraName) -
    paraName.length));  
            else
                result=unescape(str.substring(str.indexOf(paraName) + paraName.length,str.length));
        else
            result="Null";  
        return (result.replace("&",""));  
    var timer2;
    var dueTime2=0
    function RemoveCTLExportFormats(format)
                    dueTime2 += 50;
                    if(dueTime2 > 30000)
                                    clearTimeout(timer2);
                                    return;
                    var obj=document.getElementsByTagName("Select");
                    for(var i=0;i<obj.length;i++)
                                    if (obj[i].title == "Export Formats")
    var k = -1;
    for(var j = 0; j < obj[i].length; j ++)
    if(obj[i].options[j].value.toLowerCase() == format.toLowerCase())
    k = j;     
    obj[i].options.remove(k);
    clearTimeout(timer2);  
    return;                                                                 
                    timer2=setTimeout("RemoveCTLExportFormats('" + format + "')",50);
    function RemoveOption(report, format)
                    if(getParameter("ItemPath", location.href).toLowerCase() == report.toLowerCase())
                                    timer2=setTimeout("RemoveCTLExportFormats('" + format
    + "')",50);
                    else
                                    return;
    RemoveOption("1", "Excel");
    </script>
    Then we just need to pass the report full path and the export format into RemoveOption function to disable the export format. For example: RemoveOption("/ReportSamples/report1", "Excel");
    Since the javascript is loaded before rendering the report, we have to make the function to run every few milliseconds. This is not efficient and there is such a lot of code. To simplify the code and improve the performance, we can use JQuery to directly get
    the export format we want based on title. So we can change the javascript code into the JQuery code below:
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">  
        $(function () {                         
            var result = new RegExp('[\?&]ItemPath=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href)[1];          
            var reportName = result.split('%2f')[result.split('%2f').length - 1];
            if (reportName == "1") {
                $("a[title='Excel']").hide();
    </script> 
    The result looks like below:

    Hi Grégory
      Thanks for answering . . .
       How is this different from any other conditional formatting?  I'm sorry, but I really don't understand.  If I can change the color of text based on a condition or conditionally suppress a detail row, why can't I change the row background color based on the toggle state when the textbox is toggled?  If it's just not possible, then how is textbox.togglestate used?  Is is only used to set the initial toggle state programmatically? 
        I'm really confused.  Clearly, an event is fired when you toggle a textbox.  The screen gets refreshed.  I don't understand why I can't conditionally color a row based on the toggle state of a text box.  Please help me understand - or guide to a place that explains how that textbox property is used.
    Thanks!

  • [Forum FAQ] How to configure a Data Driven Subscription which get multi-value parameters from one column of a database table?

    Introduction
    In SQL Server Reporting Services, we can define a mapping between the fields that are returned in the query to specific delivery options and to report parameters in a data-driven subscription.
    For a report with a parameter (such as YEAR) that allow multiple values, when creating a data-driven subscription, how can we pass a record like below to show correct data (data for year 2012, 2013 and 2014).
    EmailAddress                             Parameter                      
    Comment
    [email protected]              2012,2013,2014               NULL
    In this article, I will demonstrate how to configure a Data Driven Subscription which get multi-value parameters from one column of a database table
    Workaround
    Generally, if we pass the “Parameter” column to report directly in the step 5 when creating data-driven subscription.
    The value “2012,2013,2014” will be regarded as a single value, Reporting Services will use “2012,2013,2014” to filter data. However, there are no any records that YEAR filed equal to “2012,2013,2014”, and we will get an error when the subscription executed
    on the log. (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles)
    Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidReportParameterException: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'Name' is not a valid value.
    This means that there is no such a value on parameter’s available value list, this is an invalid parameter value. If we change the parameter records like below.
    EmailAddress                        Parameter             Comment
    [email protected]         2012                     NULL
    [email protected]         2013                     NULL
    [email protected]         2014                     NULL
    In this case, Reporting Services will generate 3 reports for one data-driven subscription. Each report for only one year which cannot fit the requirement obviously.
    Currently, there is no a solution to solve this issue. The workaround for it is that create two report, one is used for view report for end users, another one is used for create data-driven subscription.
    On the report that used create data-driven subscription, uncheck “Allow multiple values” option for the parameter, do not specify and available values and default values for this parameter. Then change the Filter
    From
    Expression:[ParameterName]
    Operator   :In
    Value         :[@ParameterName]
    To
    Expression:[ParameterName]
    Operator   :In
    Value         :Split(Parameters!ParameterName.Value,",")
    In this case, we can specify a value like "2012,2013,2014" from database to the data-driven subscription.
