Installation Server and Windows 7 - Admin Rights Issue

Here is a good one.  Completely reproducible error when granting Local Admin Rights by the LSH Service.
For those with SAPGui Installation Server (SAPGui 7.20 Patch 6 or above) ... try this on a Windows 7 SP1 front end when you are NOT logged on with local admin rights.
  1) Open the Windows RUN dialog
  2) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe
  3) You should find the install wizard starts (granting local admin rights) as expected.
NOW TRY THIS
  1) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe /uninstall
  2) You will find that you get a dialog about can't grant admin rights. Un-install will abort.
This only appears to happen with the /uninstall switch!  Using /product= for example it will still grant admin rights.
BIZZARE ...
I've opened a Customer Support Message (Friday) priority - MEDIUM  have not heard back from SAP Support yet.

Jude,
Thanks, it looks like that note has been getting a lot of update activity lately because the newly released Patch 8 has nwsapsetup.exe as version:  8.6.1.62   and that version also has the issue with the /nnnnnn switches. 
I do have to say however, that this issue with nwsapsetup.exe and admin rights (requiring SapSetup.exe_Patch) first appeared with the release of Patch 6 for the Gui.  It was fixed for WinXP (I had a customer support message opened on this).  So why didn't anyone also test on Win7?
Who is QA-ing these software releases? 
Patch 8 had the same problem. 
The change log for SapSetup.exe_Patch, is up to 8.1.6.70 now. 
How are we in large enterprises to feel comfortable deploying any of this?
End of rant ....
Bob
P.S. I really appreciate your presence here ... the tech assigned to my formal Support Message on the matter still has not gotten back advising of the updated release of SapSetup.exe_Patch.

  • Are enterprise admin and schema admin rights required after installation?

    Hi,
    Exchange 2010 has been installed in our organisation a few years ago, and is running fine. Exchange was installed with an account with enterprise and schema admin rights. I have just found out that this account still has those rights, I think that this isn't
    necessary, and is in fact een security risk. I think that membership of Exchange Organization Administrators and Organization Management plus domain admin rights is enough. Am I right or does this account really need enterprise and schema admin rights?

    Yes you are correct. You will need schema admin rights when installing service packs though.

  • 10.8.1 Server and windows smb issues

    Ever since upgrading to 10.8.1 server my windows clients now have issues copying to the share point on the server. "Network error, there is a problem accessing \\SERVER\WORK"
    It's only with large file transfers 3GB and above. It also randomly shows the same warning when they are saving projects to the server occasionally and they have to manully reconnect.
    Latest windows 7 64bit pro on all clients and latest mac os X on server.
    The share point is an attached thunderbolt raid and has all permissions switched off, and is configured to RAID 0. This is backed up hourly by another drive.
    Is there anyway of rolling back to lion? I no longer have a lion back up on my time machine.
    Anyone else having these issues?

    Apple's SMB implentation is weak and buggy.  I feel like I'm back in 10.3 trying to talk to Windows servers.  Those were horrible days. 
    To Fix.. go to your Mac and check to make sure that it has the correct WINS settings (network, advanced, WINS).  Your server has to be on the same workgroup (domain) as your windows clients.  For some reason, the setting does not stick on your Mac and that setting gets lost.  And that is the bug...
    To fix this (second part of your fix).. go ahead and turn off file sharing.  Then add your settings under WINS as stated above, then turn sharing back on and your networking from windows to mac will start to work fine. 
    Fun bugs... please call Apple about this, so they can follow up. My case number is 357016704

  • Installing SQL server with local Admin rights

    Dear DB experts
    I have a concern about installing SQL server 2000 on win 2003 with out local admin rights
    I have delegated local admin rights to a Domain user.  that user can install and configure SQL with out any issues or its is a must to install SQL using local administrator account   pls advise.

    RaSa

    Hi Syed_R,
    SQL Server 2000 was out of support in SQL Server Forums since April,2013. You can install SQL Server 2005 or later version and more experts will assist you.
    As other post, the user that runs the SQL Server installer must have Admin rights on the server when installing. For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account
    that has read and execute permissions on the remote share.
    In addition, in preparation for setting up Microsoft SQL Server on this system, you add the Setup account to the local administrators group, also the Setup account need to have certain user rights for avoiding SQL Server installation fails. Such as Local
    Policy Object Display Name, Backup files and directories and so on.
    For more information, you can review the following article.

  • TMS server and WinSXS - HD space issues

    I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with disk space on their TMS servers?  I'm running TMS 14.4.2 on a virtual server, and my hard drive is filling up with various files.  I have gone in an deleted some old software versions from the TMS folder, but the big culprit is my Windows directory!  It is currently at 25GB and growing - inetpub and winsxs are the problem folders.  
    Various windows forums say that there isn't anything you can do about the files in winsxs, and Cisco TAC advised me to carefully remove some files from the inetpub folder (subfolder Logs).  Am I the only one having these issues?
    The TMS installation guide states that only 4GB of disk space is required for the application footprint, but doesn't say what the recommended harddrive size is.  Let me clarify this, however - I'm using an external SQL database - NOT local.  
    My TMS server has been acting odd lately, and I have had to restart some services from time to time, or do a full reboot.  I'm quite certain that my VM server is running as per Cisco's recommendations: 
    Cisco TMS can be installed in a virtualized server environment as long as the virtual machine is allocated 
    sufficient dedicated resources to meet the server and hardware requirements for installation. The resources
    allocated to the Cisco TMS server instance must be dedicated, and not shared with other server instances.
    My OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1., 7GB RAM, Intel Xeon CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60 GHz 2.60 GHz, 64 bit.
    If you have any feedback or suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

    Would be interesting to know which HD size you provisioned and how much free space you have left now. I always recommend around or more than 100GB for the C: drive then you most like have no stress.
    Storage is cheap, trouble you have now is stressful.
    Many strange symptoms of TMS can be fixed by deinstalling and reinstalling TMS (and TMSPE if used) connecting the same DBs afterwards
    As you use an external database, what you could do is to stop the old TMS, install a new windows server and TMS and then reconnect to the same database. If you do not trust you windows nor the TMS install.
    (also possibe, deinstall tms on the old one, resize the partition, reinstall TMS).
    This guide is a bit older but might help you here as well:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/108271/migrating-telepresence-management-suite-tms-new-serverpdf
    Sure, strangeness of TMS could also be an issue with the DB, OS, something in your network, ...

  • Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

    Hey Guys,
    I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
    remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
    terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
    Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
    to connect to
    So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please follow the below steps and verify result.
    LAN manager authentication level settings (Local security policy->Local Policies->Security Options->Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication level). 
    Try to change it to "Send NTLMv2 response only"

    If still face the issue please install this Hotfix.

  • Yosemite Server and Windows 8.1... I know I know

    Windows 8.1 Pro (Bootcamped) suddenly can no longer access Mac server file share. See below for details.
    Here is the set up in our small office: Several MacBooks, two iMacs, and a new MacMini running OS X Server (with some file shares). Everything is running Yosemite. Because of the software we use, we are also running Windows 8.1 in bootcamp on most of the machines. I know, kind of a convoluted set-up, but it has actually been working great... until yesterday. For some reason, the MacMini stalled, black screened and had to be restarted. During this time we all lost access to the server. When we restarted everything, most people could access the server from their systems with no issues (access from the Bootcamped Windows side) except for me of course.
    Previously I had full access and no issues. I was initially getting the "invalid path" error. That went away after restarting again, and now I can see the server but I get "invalid username or password". The thing is, that it's not invalid. And it was working literally an hour before this happened. Also, no other user can log in from my machine with their working username and password. And as I said everyone else can access it just fine from their machines.
    The only difference I can think of is that I have Windows 8.1 Pro - and everyone else just has Windows 8.1.
    Things tried:
    -Restarting everything multiple times
    -Changing username and password on Mac Server side
    -Messing with network security policy settings
    -Renaming PC
    -Spent hours researching networking issues on forums
    I know networking between Mac and Windows can be challenging, but we seemed to have it working smoothly. My suspicion is that something needs to happen on the Mac side, but I'm not sure what. If anyone has any ideas at all it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

  • Need Help: TS130 Server and Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit Problems

    I have 2 TS 130 Lenovo Servers with Xeon 3.2 Ghz CPUs and 16GB of memory. Installing ANY version of Windows 64 Bit after a couple of reboots will cause the system to blue screen. Once it blue screens it is impossible to get back into Windows.
    Get this. Installing ANY version of Windows 32 bit works just fine on either machine. I have swapped out ram, hard drives, raid on raid off, updated BIOS etc and the same exact issue on both machines. I have swapped out media thinking maybe it was just a bad disk, but after 3 copies of Server 2008 R2 64 and 2 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and THEN the same problem occurring over and over on BOTH servers.. well needless to say I am pulling mu hair out. These are ALL OEM copies by the way not burned copies.
    I called Lenovo Thinkserver support as we are a partner, and their only suggestion was changing some legacy settings in the BIOS which of course has done nothing. I have changed every setting in the BIOS that I feel it could possibly be and still no joy.
    Thinking it MAY have been a video problem, I have even went so far as to add new video cards to both machines and the problem still exists on both machines. All drivers are latest versions, and I am getting tired of getting everything setup, and then BAM BSOD.. I have been a tech for 25 years, and I have NEVER seen this issue on any machine ever.. 
    As far as the BSODs, one time it will be the language pack error, next time something else, and the next time something else.. no way to nail down the problem.
    I KNOW its a machine error, especially when 32 bit runs fine on either machine, but what it is I have no clue.
    I am hopeful someone here has had the same issue and can tell me what they may have done to solve the problem. It is absolutely driving me up the wall....
    Thanks in advance for ANY help or suggestions.
    Mike at Mitek Computers

    Never mind.. FINALLY found the problem. Even though I swapped out media etc as far as Server 2008 went, I always used the same COA key.. guess what... English media and Japanese key.... snafu on our OEM vendors end I suppose.
    Anyway I was issued a new product/virtual key through Microsoft and it resolved the issue.... stupidest thing I ever saw...

  • Ise and windows CA cert issues during tls

    Hi All,
    We are having some issues when doing eap-tls during onboarding. The setup is to have a single ssid network. Clients initially gets connected via peap and after onboarding it is eap-tls. The environment is a 2 tier CA hirearchy having a root-ca (offline) and intermediate CA (this is the AD domain enterprise CA and scep server). ISE cert was signed by the intermediate CA for https and eap. Also imported the certificate chain from the intermediate CA to ISE cert store (converted from .p7b to .der). It also has the scep RA certificate and scep communication between ise and scep server looks ok.
    The issue is during the onboarding process (tested with windows xp) after the redirection to guest poral, windows SPW wizard starts and prompts to confirm the user certificate. This keeps on prompting after 'ok' is clicked and does not proceed further. The 'view certificate' shows the following error " The issuer of this ccertficate is not found". ISE shows the following errors in authentication details (jpg attached). Windows SPW logs shows that it keep on retrying authentication.
    The issuer of the client cert which is the intermediate CA cert is already in the ISE certificate store. Therefore shouldn't that client get this issuer CA details from ISE and ISE should be able to authenticate client during onboarding to start the tls connection? Do we have to import seperate certs for root-ca, Intermediate ca in ise store instead of the chain?
    Does anybody had this issue with ISE in a hirearchical CA environment?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can i setup a secure reverse proxy using sun one web proxy server and windows 2000?

    I've tried this on IPlanet Proxy 3.6 and, after reading the documentation, realized that SSL is not supported on the Windows platform. So I'm asking if it is supported using Sun One Web Proxy Server

    Hi,
    Yes, What you say is right.
    "The NT and Windows 2000 versions of iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 do not support SSL".
    Sun One Web Proxy Server is as same as iPlanet webproxy server.
    May be in future relase of proxy server SSL will be supported in Win2000.

  • Directory Server and windows clients

    Is it possible for a MS windows client to join a Domain on a Directory Server ver 5.2?

    Hello,
    with GPO you can't, there is no special setting for this. Adding the scheduled task is the way to do it. But the scheduled task can be added with startup scripts.
    Create shutdown.cmd for example with the following content:
    ;Create the scheduled task on remote workstation's
    if not exist %systemroot%\tasks\at1.job at 17:30 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe /r /t 120 /c "This computer will shutdown and restart automatically, please close your open applications. Your Administrator." /f
    :Copy the shutdown.exe to remote workstation
    if not exist %systemroot%\system32\shutdown.exe copy "\\domainname\netlogon\shutdown.exe" "%systemroot%\system32\shutdown.exe"
    Keep in mind to replace domainname with your ones and to copy the shutdown.exe to the
    \\yourdomainname\netlogon folder.

  • Strange problem with AIX server and windows clients

    I am having a real bizzare problem with WLS 7.0.1 running on AIX 5.1 and
    clients on windows. We have J2SE Swing application as a client.
    If the client is w2k or XP, the first client gets good response. If I start
    another client the second client is horribly slow (2 sec vs 16 sec). Even if
    I kill the first client the second client continues to be slow. If I have 2
    clients open together, the first one continues giving 2 sec response while
    the second one continues with 16 sec. For that matter if I start another
    client after shutting down first one I get slow (16 sec) response.
    If the client is NT client I always get good and consistent response from
    the server. Irrespective of how many client I have on the NT machine, I keep
    getting good response. NT and W2K laptops are seating right next to each
    other on the same n/w and infact the NT is a much slower and lessor memory
    machine than W2K.
    We did similar tests keeping server on Solaris or NT server or W2K server,
    and the clients "behave" normally i.e I get consistent repsponse time (it
    may be slow or fast, but it is consistent and is consistent b/w NT and W2K).
    We even tried putting my laptop on the same network as the AIX server, but
    it did not help. Unfortunately some of our clients will be using AIX and
    W2K.

    Sounds like a reverse DNS lookup or similar network timeout.Thanks for the suggestion, but then why would the first client on w2k or XP
    get a better performance and the subsequent clients get worse performance?
