Windows 8.1 Deploy is trying to sign onto Microsoft Live account.

I have a few Windows 8.1 machines running through MDT2013 just fine. They boot to the desktop as Administrator and finish a few jobs and completes fine. Now I have a Motion tablet, set up the same identical way, but rather than booting to the desktop as
Admin, it stops at the logon screen with two generic icons to choose from - one a Microsoft Live account and the other a Local Account. I have to choose the Local account and type in Administrator and the password I've already put in the unattend. I only have
30 of these tablets, but I don't understand why they're not logging onto the desktop as the others do. The TS steps are exactly the same and so is the unattend. Any ideas?

Hi,
The full version of Windows 8.1 pro in this link is ok for you to do the clean installation.

The important notification just mean that if you would like to do the upgrade, only Windows 7 can be used.

Metro Apps don't open on Local and Domain account. Works on Microsoft Live account. Windows 8.1 Pro

This is Happening on Three different computers.
All computers are Windows 8.1 Pro. This is a clean install.
When the computer is initially setup, I first sign on with my Windows Live ID and everything seems to work fine there.
After Joining the computer to the domain, none of the Metro UI apps will open, they open briefly and close.
Added a local account and found that it also does not work there.
Steps I have tried to resolve this:
Modified owner and permissions on registry Key: HKCR\AppID\{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}
Changed owner to Local Administrator and gave full controll to Local Admin and Domain user account.
Ran DCOMCNFG and under Computers ->My Computer-> WinInetCacheServer Properties I went to the IDENTITY TAB and changed
it to the Interactive User.
That did not help.
Ran this command: "powershell
-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml" from elevated command prompt and also did not help.
I tried downloading the App troubleshooter but it would not run.
I also tried "wsreset.exe" and got an error saying: " Windows cannot find 'ms-windows-storePurgeCaches'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again"
When Trying to open the app and it fails I get this error under Applications in Event Viewer:
"Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: This app does not support the contract specified or is not installed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."
Anyone know how to resolve this.
We are looking to implement Windows 8.1 Pro to our clients pretty soon and need to get this resolved asap.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you mean that this problem only after you join the computer to the domain? if so, you may need to check whether you domain controller would install any program to your system. or you can contact domain adminstrator for further assistance.
In addition, run the following in a Command Window (CMD) to re-register the Store App:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

Kindle Fire and Microsoft Live Account

Hello magnificent skypers,
I installed/set up Skype with my Microsoft account. Everything is working fine on my PC as I use the "login in with a microsoft account" option. But this option doesn't appear to be available in the Kindle version of Skype. I haven't set up a Skype account directly and when I try to "unlink" my microsoft account in my profile, the option tells me I need to contact support. I assume I need to have a skype account? If so how do I tie this up with my subscription.. Thanks

Hi, Leigh3ann, and welcome to the Community,
Please try this:
Un-link your Skype account from your Microsoft account: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12211/how-do-i-unlink-my-skype-account-from-my-microsoft-or-faceb... if you run into trouble, please see here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12209/what-should-i-do-if-i-can-t-unlink-my-skype-and-microsoft-o...
Download the Skype for Windows Desktop version of the software, where you will be able to sign on to Skype using your Skype account. The Skype "Modern" version permits a log-in only using a Microsoft account.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Have microsoft skype account but cannot login to i...

I currently already have a skype account that is linked to my microsoft email.... This account works on my iPhone and windows 7 laptop, but it will not let me login on my Xbox One..... It keeps telling me to check my skype name and password......

it doesn't happen with all computers. From some computers no one can login. Even solid accounts cannot login on these computers.
These computers made many many calls with skype credits, then skype blocked the accounts.
Does Skype also block the computers with mac addresses or whatever?
a skype support agent connected to one of the computers, couldn't solve the problem. I created many many support tickets, no solution.
Anyone has an idea how to fix it?
"Sorry, we didn't recognize your sign-in details. Please check your skype name and password, then try again"
win7, win8 doesn't matter.
Update your Internet Explorer: http://www.windows.microsoft.com/IE
Note: Please ensure to use the latest version of Skype (Skype version 6.18 ) www.skype.com/go/getskype
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Word, pdf, iPhoto email, don't work on one user account but work on second user account

I have MacBook Pro running 10.7. In my main user account I've recently had major issues with several applications. Word quits on startup, pdf files quit on startup, the latest iPhoto application quits when attemping to send email with photos from iPhoto.
I set up a second user account and all the issues went away. Can anyone explain why such bugs are present in one user account by not the more recent one?
Thanks

In your wife's account:
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Cannot log into MCP live account

I received an annual email reminder to log into my MCP account to keep it active.
When I tried to log in it told me that it appears that someone else is using my account and I need to verify my account.
The only problem is that the email address I originally used to create the account no longer exists so I cannot use that method.
The only other method is to then fill in a completely useless form that asks mostly irrelevant questions. In fact only one of the questions is relevant to me.
The other questions ask for:
Previous passwords I have used on the account - irrelevant (I have only used one password to my knowledge)
Details of emails I have recently sent from the account - irrelevant I don´t use the account to send emails
Folders I have recently created in my email account - irrelevant
Xbox live payment details - irrelevant - I don´t have an xbox live account.
So in all the "security" questions I am asked, only the name of my favorite pet is relevant.
Anyway I filled in the form as best I could and then got a response saying I hadn´t provided sufficient information to be verified.
How am I supposed to verify myself? This method of verification is pretty inadequate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Vards0.
Do you know your MCP ID? You only stated that you have your email address used to log into the MCP site.
If you don't know your MCP ID, perhaps you still have a printed exam results from a passed/failed exam. This contains information that can be mapped back to your account. It won't have your MCP ID but it will have your Prometric ID.
If you don't have any printed exam results, perhaps you can still log into
http://register.prometric.com. After logging in, click Update Personal Information to view your Prometric ID, which may look something like SRxxxxxxx. This should give Microsoft Support enough information to map it
back to your MCP ID.
NOTE: Make sure the email address that you record on your profile on the Prometric site is the same email address that you will use to log into the MCP site. Most likely, Microsfot will have you create another Live ID (Outlook, live, Hotmail) account.
If you can't log into Prometric, call them. Here is the contact information for Microsoft exam candidates:
https://www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/pages/contact-numbers.aspx?client=microsoft
Gather all the evidence you can and then contact your Microsoft Regional Service Center. Their email address is
[email protected]
You can also call them on the phone. Please use the following web page to find the correct contact information for help.
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/help.aspx.
Again, have all your evidence ready.
This web page includes email and phone contact information for your geographic location so you can email or call them directly. They will help you get this figured out. Most likely, they will have you set up a different email address.
NOTE: This public forum is usually monitored by fellow IT professionals like you and me but not by Microsoft employees.
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

Live account corrupt

Hello,
I have a question about a corrupt user profile in Windows 8.1. Unfortunately it is now no longer on just one machine, but on 3. I know how to fix a local account in Windows 8.1, as that is the same process for Windows XP - 7.
How do I go about fixing a Microsoft Live account thought that has become corrupted on more than one computer?
Michael R. Mastro II

Well over half of the programs I use do not work. I click on the link from the start menu and it will not load up, for instance I click on Microsoft Word, nothing happens. Now if I go into the folder via Explorer I can launch Word perfectly
fine. If I put a CD in my computer to listen to music, it brings up the XBox Music app (which is not the default), and says I need to sign in to use the app. Unfortunately the sign in does not work and it says it cannot connect to the XBox service.
The default setting for a CD is Windows Media Player, I checked after it brought up the XBox Music App. Also all games that are tied to the XBox service, will not work, they crash to the desktop immediately. I have brought this up on the XBox
forums, but it landed on deaf ears since no one will reply to this in over a month (That is great customer service). Now on all my computers I have a separate local account I use as an Administrator, but the Microsoft account also has Administrator privileges.
When ever I install a program I allow it for everyone to use. Now if I go to my local account, everything works perfectly fine. Word will load the moment I click on it, I put in a CD and Windows Media Player comes up, since it can't use the XBox
service. I went in on the live account and verified that the start menu links point to the programs (like Word), and they do. So the Live account must be corrupted in some form. This is completely annoying to have to go through the extra
steps to get a program to launch, I feel like I am back in the Windows 3.1 days.

Microsoft Live

I have just changed my cellphone from iphone 3GS to Windows Nokia Lumia 800 . Why is it so much more difficult to synchronise contacts and calendar with this setup than with the iphone? I used to connect the phone to the laptop and itunes did the rest without
any problem.
I now have a Microsoft Live account and have eventually managed to get the contacts over, but I'm not sure about any updates I make.
The calendar is a nightmare. If it synchronises at all, it takes hours to do so and it only seems to work from the phone to the laptop and not the other way round. i also seem to need to maintain 2 calendars in Outlook because the main calendar doesn't
seem to synchronise at all.
Is this a common problem or am I missing something?

Hi,
Do you use any Exchange accounts? Or you only use an Microsoft Account to sync Calendars?
Please test if you can sync calendars between Web and Outlook PC Client.
If there's no issue between the sync between your phone and Outlook PC Client, we may assume this is an issue specific to your phone, we may post this question to Windows Phone Forum:

Live account not supported by Kindle Fire HDX?

I just signed up for a new account, which also involved creating a new Microsoft Live Account, so I could use Skype on my new Kindle Fire HDX. My login works fine on the website, doesn't work at all on my Kindle Fire HDX 7".

Mine won't work either going through Microsoft Live. It'll ring twice and then fail. Every time.

Lost document on my new MAC because I accidentally saved on another account that I had no permission to save to..now I don't know where the doc is but I just know its somewhere on the computer..maybe the temp files or something?!sos! please help me!!

I saved a document, while logged in as a Guest, to another user account [it was set up for some reason to save like that (I guess the person who used computer last did that) and I didn't check before "saving"] on accident. Of course I didn't have permission to save on the other user's account but I was in a rush and so I figured everything was fine but later I found that there was a message warning me saying it did not save because it couldn't save because I had no permission to save on that account and gave me the option to duplicate or cancel.. I wasn't paying attention so I can't remember which button I hit but clearly it wasn't "duplicate"
I took hours perfecting this document and now I can't find it.. anywhere!
Where do these types of things go when this happens.. I know it's somewhere on the computer but where?? SOS I need the doc and I'm hoping I can find it
I guess it's the same as someone who accidnetly hits "don't save"... question still stands.. please anyone help me!!!
I'm trying to use Disk Drill but I only found things from November and it seems like it only shows files that have been physically/manually deleted..and my TIME MACHINE WAS NOT SET UP..because we recently got this MAC computer and had no clue what it was
maybe its in some temp files somewhere..where do not saved documents go.. i know that it is probably writable but I know that is probably still exists
ANYONE WITH INFO PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

Cannot login my Windows 8.1 Pro with my live ID, don't have the Microsoft Logon Option

My laptop was installed with a Windows 8.1 Pro, and it worked very well before, i can login with my domain account and Windows Live ID, but today when i startup my laptop and i cannot find the option "Login with Microsoft/Live ID", i only can login
with "Domain account/Local Account/SmartCard".
Microsoft Account/Live ID is a local administrator but my domain account seems is not a local administrator.
Now even i can login with my domain account, but i cannot change anything, because i'm not a administator, so how to make the "Microsoft Account" login available when i login the windows? (by the way, i cannot add a new login in the "Change
PC Settings->Accounts", because my domain account is not a local administrator)
thanks.

Hi William,
According to your description,I would like to know if you can see "Other User" option on the login screen.
If you can see it,please click it and type your microsoft account.
If you cannot see this option,please click Switch user to check the result.
If the issue still persists, please upload the screenshot.
