HP Client Platform Driver Pack Issue

I'm trying to import a HP Driver Pack for the Elite 8300. SP61385. It fails with 'The selected Softpaq is Not a valid driver softpaq'. Note: This is the first time I'm trying this. I must be missing a step...

You should post this on an HP forum.

HP Client WinPE Driver Packs and MDT 2013

Just today I noticed that HP had a couple of WinPE driver Packs for download on their site for WinPE 3.0 and 4.0. I'm using MDT 2013 to deploy Win 7 x64 for now, perhaps Win 8.1 out in the future. What version of WinPE does MDT make for Boot Images? Which
driver pack would be best for MDT 2013 and Win 7 deployment? WinPE 3.0?

Issue using the Eclipse report designer with Derby Client JDBC Driver

All I am trying to do is add a table to a blank report using the Crystal reports Eclipse plugin. The database is connected successfully in Eclipse using the Derby Client JDBC Driver, but when I try to drag a table from the database over to my blank report, I get the following error:

If anyone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong, it would be much appreciated.

Ted,
When I connect to the Derby database in Eclipse using the embedded driver, I can successfully drag and drop tables to create a report. This driver uses the derby.jar file and has no package sealing violations popping up.
 
 
When specifying a driver for a new derby database in Eclipse, the default Derby client driver expects to use the derbyclient.jar driver file. If I only specify this as the driver file this is the error I get:

The error I initially posted resulted after I added the derby.jar as a driver file in addition to the derbyclient.jar, which I don't think is supposed to be done now that I am thinking about it, but I did it because of the class not found exception above. Is this perhaps simply a bug that it is trying to utilize the derby.jar embedded driver when the client driver should be used instead? Or am I doing something wrong myself?
 
 
Thank you for your help.

I can't seem to remove a driver from a driver pack

As weird as it may sound this is what happens to me.
I use Config Mgr 2012, SP1.
I'm currently OSD'ing 6-7 different type of machines, one of those is the Lenovo T520.
I went to Lenovos site and picked up their drivers for this model for Windows 7 x64.
It aborted though during the task sequence, after downloading and applying windows, halfway through installing the driver pack
that I assigned for the model.
Error:
Windowsfailed to start.
A recenthardwareofsoftwarechangemightbethecause.
File:ifM63x64.sys
Status:0xc0000098
Info:Windowsfailed to loada requiredfileBecauseis missingor corrupt.
a bit of googling told me that several other people have had issues with this driver..
"Intel Ethernet FCoE Virtual Storport Miniport Driver Version 1.14.12.0"
The sites I checked seemed to have 100% succes rate by simply removing this specific driver from the package.
They also stated its not an essential driver.
So I completely deleted the driver from config mgr, and of course updated my driver package to the distribution point.
Then got the same error during task sequence
Thought that was pretty weird, to get an error on a driver that was now supposedly non existent..
So I googled some more and saw that some had issues with the driver pack did not actually update even though it said it did.
they fixed this by completely removing it and making a new one.
So I did the following:
1: Deleted the driver Pack
2: Went to the directory and made sure the driver pack had no files left on the server.
3: I created a brand new Driver Pack, I added all the drivers, without the previously deleted 'FCoE Virtual Storport miniport Driver'
4: I make sure the task sequence uses the correct new Driver Pack
And I still get the error. This is where I'm lost.. why am I still getting this error? the driver doesn't exist in SCCM anymore, and I even made a new package

How about this:
Delete the driver package and delete the folder that got created during the creating the driver package
Re-import the drivers for the model, make sure the FCoE driver isn't included in the source
Re-create driver package, distribute it to DPs
Apply Driver Package -step in TS, make sure it uses the new package and it's filtered with WMI (SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE '%TS520%' or something that works...)

Driver Pack No Longer Being Applied During Task Sequence

Hi all,
So... this week a really strange issue manifested itself. I've been trawling through logs for the last day and I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
A task sequence, which has been working for months and hasn't been changed, all of a sudden decided to start throwing error code 0x87D00269 yesterday. It was at the stage where applications that are installed during the task sequence started to
install.
So after a looking into the error, it seems the machines are unable to download the packages, possibly through not being joined to the domain. At this stage in the task sequence, the machine should definitely be joined to the domain. We have
the command support console enabled, so I hit F8 and tried to ping the MP and the DP. Nothing. Ran ipconfig, nothing listed under the adapter. Very odd. So I checked the NIC on the back of the machine and it was up, so I booted from the task sequence
media USB stick again and hit f8. Ran ipconfig and the machine had picked up an address from DHCP no problem and shortly after, the task sequences available to the machine loaded. So I started the task sequence again and it started fine, formatted
the disk, downloaded the W7 pro x86 image, applied it, downloaded the driver pack and seemingly applied the drivers (according to the task sequence), then the machine rebooted. It started to go through the installing drivers phase (the black screen
with the sunrise), which seemed to take a longer than normal. The machine rebooted and sat at the applying settings stage for a long while, which also seemed odd and I remarked the graphics drivers didn't seem to be installed because the screen resolution
was set really low. Of course at this stage, F8 doesn't work so I waited until just before the applications started to install again. Pressed F8, ran ipconfig and no IP address. So rather than wait for the task sequence to fail again, I manually powered off
the machine and powered it back on.
So the machine boots, still with the low resolution, comes to the login screen and at this point, it's clear the machine hasn't joined the domain. I logged in with local admin account and it became clear none of the drivers had installed from the driver
pack. This is a driver pack that has run absolutely fine for months and as far as I'm aware, nothing has changed so I'm a little bit confused as to why it would just stop working.
I can't see anything in the smsts log that would explain what's happening and I've looked through the dism log but I can't find anything relevant in there.
Any ideas on where to go? This is happening on multiple machines of the same type.

Hi,
0x87D00269 CCM_E_REQ_MP_NOTFOUND
Ran ipconfig, nothing listed under the adapter.
These evidence indicate that no network driver in boot image. Is this a customized boot image? Is the machine a new model?
Press F8, run wpeinit to initialize network. If this is not working, re-add driver to boot image and try again.

Hi Daniel,
The boot image hasn't been modified and this machine is the exact same model as one built just a few weeks ago, with the exact same hardware. I know this because I've compared the hardware IDs of the devices side by side and they're identical.
I'm sorry but I don't follow. This issue only occurs after the driver pack downloads and (allegedly) applies. Up to that point, the machine has connectivity to the DP/MP and downloads and runs the first sections of the task sequence without issue. If I hit
F8 prior to the drivers being applied, I have my adapter listed and, of course, an IP address. That to me suggests the generic drivers already in the boot image work fine and don't need to be altered.

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? Graham

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Authentification when I want to download the driver pack for Equium L40

I already registered my laptop for the warranty, and i have a user name and password, but it seems that i need to register at that specific site from which I'm trying to download and that is a different page on which I didn't found any registration button. The driver pack I'm talking about it's for an Equium L40 10Z laptop. Any ideas ?

No panic dude... it looks like a driver server issue.
I have read in this forum that some routine maintenance must be done.
I would recommend checking the driver page in next few days.

Hard Drive Encryption Issue

This is in regard to hard drive encryption issues in my USB Hard drive. I have Windows 7. I was encrypting my USB hard drive and
was able to enter a password. However, I did not receive any prompt to save the Bitlocker recovery key. During encryption process, I received an error. The encryption process was unsuccessful. However, now when I plug-in the hard drive, I receive the
following message on the status bar:
Application and Device Control rule Block writing to removable media. Unencrypted drive found (No_Encrypted_Found) has blocked edpa.exe trying to access Volume
{e3901a75-f1ff-11e1-817c-806e6f6e6963 alpha-numeric number appearing here}
When I try to open the drive, it asks for a password. When I enter the password, I am receiving the following error message:
Bitlocker Drive Encryption failed to recover from an abruptly terminated conversion. This could be due to either all conversion logs being corrupted or the media
being write-protected.
I have read that Bitlocker repair tool can help resolve this issue.
However, I just have the password that I had set to encrypt the drive and Bitlocker recovery key identification. Can this help to get access to my hard drive data using the Bitlocker tool.

Checked this ?

This was suggested by the Backup Assist - software vendor....
A.)
...for 0x81080101:
"ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101)
The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try again this operation."
If you receive the above error in your report, we have recently found a registry key which
contains the timeout value set by Microsoft for VSS and found that you can edit this to extend it.
To get to the registry key, open Regedit (Start > Run > Regedit) and browse to:
"HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\SPP\\CreateTimeout".
Change value to 1200000 (2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins).
The default for the timeout period is 10 mins so hopefully doubling this will give enough time to
complete the snapshot.
If this isn't present, you'll need to manually enter the registry key. It's a DWORD 32-bit key.

Scot Pichelman

Hi Scot,
Sometimes a third party backup application will change the default VSS provider adding VSS writers which causes Windows Server Backup using an incorrect component in doing backup, that's why I suggest to delete it for a test. Anyway you can reinstall it
after testing.
And as you said a high-load CPU could also be the cause of the issue so you may need to first rule hardware effective out.
If issue still exists, please try the steps below as well:
1. Please check DCOM Server Process Launcher service is started.
2. If not, try to change RPC service to run as SYSTEM account. To do this please modify the following key:
Note: Backup the key before edit incase it cause any issue.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RpcSs\
Find "ObjectName" and change the value to LocalSystem.
Reboot to see if DCOM back to work and if Windows Server Backup starts working. If not, please provide the result if there is any new error occurs.
If DCOM still not work, please compare the content of the following key with a working server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
Edit if there is any difference and make sure you created a backup of the key before editing.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Boot Camp / Windows 8.1 64-bit / Driver compatibility issues

Hi everyone,
I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.
What I've tried so far:
1. First attempt
     a. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).
     b. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive.
          Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the "No bootable device found" error message. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but           when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a "MBR partition table"           instead of a GPT.
2. Second attempt
     a. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.
     b. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as "Free space".
     c. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process.
          Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the "Peripherals preparation" step (sorry about the           approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. Forcing the           computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation...
3. Third attempt
     a. I decided to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive using UNetBootin utility and creating a "Free space" partition through Disk      Utility on which to install Windows.
     b. I then booted on the USB Drive and was able to install Windows properly.
     c. I donwloaded the set of Boot Camp drivers through Apple's wesbsite corresponding to my MacBook Air model.
          Issue: Somehow, the graphics driver installed by Boot Camp made my system crash as I got a black screen when it tried to install. Even           without doing anything and having Windows try to install the right driver by itself, I got a black screen and an unusable installation of           Windows 8.1.
What am I missing here? Why isn't the Boot Camp utility working when it should be so easy? Is there a compatibility issue of my graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics 4000) with Windows running under Boot Camp?
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm in desperate need of a solution as I don't want to go back to using virtualisation softwares such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare, etc. though they work just fine...
Best regards,
Alex

1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.

Photoshop CC(2014) is having "redraw" or video driver/GPU issues

Since upgrading my Mac to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), after a working on a file or two, my photoshop image window looks like this:
This is a JPG, after I have opened a RAW file, with Camera Raw 8.7 beta (happened before the Camera Raw
update), and make my adjustments, and save. Everything seems fine, the jpg preview looks fine, but after working
on about 3 images, EVERY jpg opens and looks something like this. I can see parts of other recent images
in the garbage as well, and the image changes drastically when I zoom in and out.
I already posted to the Adobe forums, and someone suggested it might be a video driver/GPU issue with the new OS X.
Any suggestion?

An Adobe employee in the online community had me turn off "Use Graphics Processor" in the photoshop/prefs/performance,
and that worked. Not a total fix, since I can't use that now, and something is clearly not compatible, but at lease I can use
Photoshop.

T430 SCCM driver pack not importing

I got the T430 driver pack and while I am importing it gives me an error.
Error: Some driver package(s) are updated successfully. But some are not.
Errors
Lenovo T430 x86 - The ConfigMgr Provider reported an error.
Error: Some driver package(s) are updated on distribution points successfully. But some are not.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason

Could be related to this Microsoft KB article / hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978754
At least some network drivers require that hotfix to be installed. The driver pack itself works fine, just imported it a couple of days ago into one SCCM 2007 SP2 system.

JDeveloper as Rich Client Platform?

Hello,
is it possible to remove all default extensions in Developer or SQL Developer and only use custom extensions?
This means, is it possible to do something similar to the Eclipse Rich Client Platform? Has someone already tried this ?
kind regards
peter

You would like to remove all the extensions that make JDev look like a developers's IDE. You would like to keep the plugin infrastructure that allows the development of modules of 'business functionality' (banking, science, media arts etc) as plug-in extensions. The application will not look like an IDE but we would have the flexibility to use JDev features (such as the wizards infrastructure, or the various viewers) in our applications
In other words, we would like the Eclipse RCP functionality and the ADF framework in a nice integrated package. Unfortunately, I don't think that this is going to happen any time soon. Otherwise, Oracle would have already made an attempt to create an ADF plugin for Eclipse...
