How can you delopy NIDaq 8.3 with Windows 200x Active Directory.

We are developing our own in-house measurement application that is built with LV 8.2. It requires NI Daq 8.3 to be installed as well. I need to deploy this to anywhere from 30-60 computers now and many more as we expand in the future.
I know I probably could use the Setup.exe with some switches for a silent install however the two problems are:
I have to write a script for each computer or go to each computer.
Future compters will need to be manually touched as well.
We may need to uninstall in the future for newer deployments and that cannot be done easily with this method while in AD I just have to click a few things and then it is deployed.
I currently deploy apps like Office, Solidworks, Acrobat Reader, and a whole host of others with Active Directory by just adding the MSI file for these apps to the AD Container's Group Policy. I see on the NI Daq CD there are tons of subfolders and most have their own MSI file. I have attempted to see if I could just deploy these in order by just attaching these MSI files to the Group Policy, but AD tells me that "none" of these MSI files I have tried so far are valid MSI files because they have no deployment info in them.

Hello Jordan,
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to push the installation of the DAQmx driver as well as your LabVIEW application out to several machines from a server. Ideally you do not want to take your installer do each machine individually, and you also would not want to have to write a script.
Unfortunately your options may be limited to the features provided by your IT tools. You mentioned that you are using Active Directory to push out other software packages using their msi files. While I am not familiar with this particular software, is there any other way to install software remotely using this tool? Basically, I am looking for another method by which you can configure this tool to run the Setup.exe silently on computers of your choice. It may be worth your time to look into the documentation of this tool to determine if this is at all possible. Please post back and let us know what you are able to find out. Thanks!

How can you share only specific folders with windows

I took the following steps to share my macbookpro files with my desktop windows XP sp3. I am using a router to connect these two computers.
1)system preferences > sharing > file sharing > options > CHECK BOX "share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" >check box 'on' my one of the 2 accounts on macbookpro> hit ''Done'' > GREEN red dot next to "Windows Sharing: on"
2) I then added 3 FOLDERS to the "shared folders:" list on 'system preferences > sharing > file sharing'
3) system preferences > network > Location >"automatic" in the drop down menu > hit edit location and create a new location with the default name "Automatic Copy" Go to Advanced> WINS > change work group to "MSHOME" (this is the name of work group on my desktop windows pc)
4) system preferences > accounts > other accounts> guest accounts: check the blue box " Allow guests to connect to shared folders"
5) go to my network places on xp. > click add a network place>Next>choose another network location>Next>Browse>entire network>Microsoft windows nework>Mshome>Macbookpro>clicked on the folder ”my account from my step #1 "
Now ALL files on this account on my macbook are shared with my desktop.
THIS IS INTERESTING AS IN STEP 1, I Had given permission to share ONLY 3 FOLDERS and I do not want to share every single macbook folder from my account with this desktop.
Please help. I have been unable to fix it. I am very new to mac world.

You'll have to open another iCloud account - you can't share access to just part of the email account.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address to do this.
Sign in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and enable 'Mail' in the checklist there. You should be asked to create a new @icloud.com address.
This account will then appear alongside your present one in Mail. Your lawyer can access it in the usual way - if he doesn't have a Mac he can set the account up manually using the server settings here:

How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac. Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!
HELP!!!!!!

How can you interface IEEE 488 bus with labview

Hi
How should I proceed to interface labview with an instrument (an impedence analyser with a IEEE 488 port) and labview through a IEEE 488 interface card in the PC.
Thanks
Mal

Hi,
You hava a group of functions to do that. Go to Instrument IO --- GPIB.
There you can find the tools you need to comunicate with an instrument via GPIB.
You can also use MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) to test your comunication before implementing it in LabVIEW.
Hope this gets you started,
Paulo

How can you make Automator see files with no extensions

I'm trying to create a workflow where Automator would have the Finder find Photoshop or TIFF files even if they don't have file extensions. If I choose Kind>Image, it gives me everything under the sun including every image from web sites I've visited during the period specified. If I use a file extension criteria, it misses any files of that type that don't have file extensions. I thought since file extensions aren't required in OS X that Automator would be able to tell even if the file extension is hidden.
Any suggestions other than go back and add extensions to all the files?
Thanks.

taylor.henderson wrote:
You kind of contradict yourself in your question.
If a file does not have a file extension in its name then in general your computer (including automator) has no idea what type of file it is or what you want to open it with.
I guess I didn't make myself clear. What I meant was that the file extensions are not visible. I'm not sure you can even create a file that doesn't have some associated extension. They're always either hidden or visible as far as I know. So I'm talking about visible file extension suffixes. And when they're hidden, the computer DOES know what kind of file it is. Since that is the case, I'm wondering if there's a way for Automator to also know even if a file extension isn't visible.
If however "the file extension is hidden" as you say at the end of your post then I take this to mean your files are named with .extension suffixes and you merely have finder set to not display extensions in which case you can still treat the files as belonging to a certain format.
That's exactly it.
I've been using Macs since 1984, and never got into the habit of using file extensions (suffixes) to the names when I switched to OS X. Now I find, though, that in Automator, it doesn't find files when the extensions are hidden. The Finder still recognizes file types even though the method it does so has changed. What I wanted to know is if there is any Automator action that would be able to find files of a certain type even if the extensions were hidden.
I'm not looking for a way to create file extensions from scratch or get into resource code. I'm just trying to find a way to work with the files I already have, that already have associations with programs and have associated file type extensions even though the suffixes are hidden.
So basically is there a way to do it or not without renaming all my files to make extensions visible? If there is, I'll use it. If not, I'll have to find a method of batch changing all the files.
Thanks.

you can simply clone the Windows VM to the HDD partition (just be sure to uninstall the Parallels Extras, first.
Is there a tool from Parallels to do so? I wasn't aware of native support. Paragon sells such tools to do so but those require you already have Windows.
There is a Mac utility to take an .exe version of Windows and run it through and output a DVD.
I assume you mentioned to burn any ISO at slowest burn speed your DVD allows.
SimplyBurns is a Mac OS X application with a GUI, which allows the user to burn CD / DVD media.

How can I install Photoshop 5.0 with Windows Vista?

I have Photoshop 5.0 LE and have tried and tried to install it on windows vista. Does anyone have suggestions
on how I can install it. My system Type is x64-based PC and my system directory is C:\windows\system 32. Any suggestions are welcome, I will try everything that I haven't already tried. I previously had Adobe Photo Deluxe 3.o Deluxe Home Edition and I loved it, but it no longer works on XP or Vista. Thanks.

I don't think you will have much luck with that ancient program.
Why not go for Photoshop Elements? At least it's from the present century!
There are also free basic image editing applications.

HT5622 How can I authorize a new computer (with windows 8) without deauthorizing my other computers (windows 7) . Under manage your account the only choice given is to deauthorize all computers already authorized

I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated

To authorize the Windows 8 computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.
