Installing application in shutdown script does not work

Hello,
I'm trying to organise the deployment of office 2013. I want to give users the choice between installation during startup and installation during shutdown of their computer.
Installation during startup works fine: installation starts and the user can use their computer and wait for the installation to finish in the background.
Installation initiated from a console window works fine as well.
However, installation using a shutdown script doesn't work as the installation command returns immediatly, the script ends and the computer shuts down.
I have changed the gpo script timeout setting.
In the powershell script, I execute the installation using "start-process" with the option "-wait". It seems like this command returns immediatly and the setup is never executed as it does not start logging the installation progress to
a local log file.
The shutdown script runs fine and it also logs its progress to a logfile on a network share so I'm sure the script actually runs and it has network access as well.
Any clues as to why the installation might fail during a shutdown script and work fine in other situations? Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is a gpo or an office 2013 deployment question. I'm thinking the environment during execution of a shutdown script might be different so that's why I'm asking my question here.

Hi,
Based on your description, we can also try asking for suggestions in the scripting forum to see if they can provide a better solution.

HT203421 Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work

installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work properly. Applications show up in the App Store window to be updated but in fact most of them do not download and install. Some 3rd party software does download and install but most Apple and HP Applications do not. They appear in some cases in both the Ready to update or install list and in the "Installed in the last 30 days list". In some cases when I click on "Update" it shows in the "Installed in the Last 30 Days list" but it is not installed. In the case of the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 beta down load, it momentarily show up like it is downloading but then disappears and does not install.

I am now using Yosemite 10.10.2 and am trying to install the beta Download Yosemite 10.10.3 hoping it will resolve my problem but starts to download from the App Store snd then quits.

Oracle Applications 11i Load Balancing does not work with RAC one Node

Hi all,
Could you help me to resolve this issue.
Architecture environment is :
- One APPS tier node
- Two nodes Oracle Database Appliance (Primary node 1 holds INSTANCE_1 et Secondary node is configurured to holds INSTANCE_2), i.e RAC one Node.
- The primary node have instance_name SIGM_1 and the secondary node have instance_name SIGM_2, but in RAC one node, the secondary instance is not alive.
We convert our EBS 11i environment to RAC following note ID Using Oracle 11g Release 2 Real Application Clusters with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i [ID 823586.1].
When testing Database failover, Oracle Applications 11i load balancing does not work anymore.
The root cause is that, when the primary node of the Rac one node is down, the INSTANCE_NAME_1 is automaically relocating to the surviving node,.
During test failover, we imagine that when the primary node goes down, the secondary node start or relocate database with instance_name SIGM_2, and in that case the Oracle Applications load balancing works.
Currently, when the primary node goes down, the instance_name SIGM_1 is relocated on the secondary node, which cause failure of Oracle Applications Load Balancing.
Thank you for your advice.

This is something I observed a long time ago for Safari (ie: around version 1). I'm not sure this is Safari, per se, but OpenSSL that is responsible for the behavior. I'm pretty sure Chrome does this and I've seen some Linux browsers do it.
What I have done at the last two companies I've worked for is recommend that our clients do not use SSL SessionID as the way of tracking sticky sessions on web servers, but instead using IP address. This works in nearly all cases and has few downsides. The other solution is to use some sort of session sharing on your web servers to mitigate the issue (which also means that your web servers aren't a point of failure for your users' sessions). (One of the products I supported had no session information stored on the web servers, so we could safely round-robin requests, the other product could be implemented with a Session State Server... but in most cases we just used IP address to load balance with). The other solution is to configure your load balancer to terminate the SSL tunnel. You get some other benefits from this, such as allowing your load balancer to reduce the number of actual connections to the web servers. I've seen many devices setup this way.
One thing to consider through this is that - due to the way internet standards work - this really can't be termed a bug on anyone's part. There is no guarantee in the SSL/TLS standards that a client will return the same SSL Session ID for each request and there is not requirement that subsequent requests will even use the same tunnel. Remember, HTTP is a stateless protocol. Each request is considered a new request by the web server and everything else is just trickery to try and get it to work the way you want. You can be annoyed at Safari's behavior, but it's been this way for over 5 years by my count, so I don't expect it to change.

I installed lion, now my screen saver does not work. I have tried all the hot corners, nothing. Dashboard and mission control work fine but cannot start screen saver.
Any thoughts on what might be wrong.

Script does not work anymore after updating to FM 12.0.3

Hi,
With TCS5, Robohelp would crash when importing FrameMaker books to RH, because the FM files had embedded graphics. So, I found a script to externalize the graphics before doing the import (the script is: ExtendScript of the week: Externalizing Graphics « TechComm Central by Adobe). However, this script is not working since I updated from 12.0.2 to 12.0.3. And without this script, we can't create HTML5 output!
Although I wrote a few simple scripts, this one is quite complex and would be difficult to debug. Anyone here knows what could have changed to make the script useless after such a small update? Or can update this script to make it work?
Thanks!

Hi again,
For those who would like to know... I made this script work with 12.0.3. I simply removed the instructions that added an item in the File menu and stuff about a report, which I don't think ever worked. So, I still don't know exactly why it didn't work anymore (don't have time or knowledge to investigate), but I'm still interested to know.

Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Automatic Shutdown - IT DOES NOT WORK

:Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Automatic Shutdown - IT DOES NOT WORKVHello!
I do possess this MP3 Player (with integrated speakers) for more than 2 years now and have never been using the Automatic Shutdown function of the player (in the menu settings). Yesterday, I went to bed, wanted to listen to some music and tried out this function the first time, but it did not work. I tried it with 5, 0 and 30 minutes. What am I doing wrong or is this setting just a joke?
I am using the current software/firmware and am not a newbie to technical instruments so I do know how to - theoretically - start this function by going to setting - Automatic Shutdown - scrolling to the minutes I want to have - Enter/Confirm with the middle ball-knob at the front of the player.
Maybe some of you might help me, I would highly appreciate that.
Kind regards
Guyfromgermany

Hi JLM, am running .0.05e fine and in fact listening to it at the moment. Is there anyway you can regress back to .0.03 to test your theory? Testing a bunch of 28k CBR MP3s is an easy thing to try also.Message Edited by BlueRobin on 0-02-200802:49 PM

Wireless Works during install.... Does not work after install.

Hiya!
I just finally finished semi-installing from live. it's exciting. I'm stuck at cli trying to get wireless to work.
it's really weird. First- I only have wireless (it's from my downstairs neighbors). I used it DURING the install process- downloaded all of the packages, etc etc.
But when I start up my computer, I get a [FAIL] by network (it does not start up). However, if i # ifconfig wlan0 up, the wireless turns on.
iwconfig does not work
and I cannot scan for networks...
During install, I was able to see the names of every network.
There isn't any sort of password for the router I would like to connect to (and connected to before); it's just a linksys.
My wireless card is intel 5300 and I'm almost certain I installed the 5000 driver package.
Thoughts?
Perhaps I should go to sleeeeeeep..

DARI (Arabic) script does not work in WORD 2004

When I change to AFGHAN DARI in MS WORD I can type the characters (although as other discussions have shown KEYBOARD viewer does not work) BUT they are not joined properly in the words.
i.e. the same form of the character is used whether it is at the start, middle or end of the word. PATHETIC - how would you like to write all English in UPPERCASE??
MS WORD does the correct thing on Windows XP
Does anyone have any ideas - apart from throwing this new MacBook away?
Any Word processors for the MAC that work properly?
Please HELP!!

Does anyone have any ideas - apart from throwing this new MacBook away?
Yes, throw Word away. MS Office for Mac has no support for Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, etc.
All other word processors (except Appleworks) have better support for Arabic than Word does. Mellel is the best. See this note:

Setting field to NULL using script does not work

Hi,
This is a Hibernate and Oracle SQL developer-related question.
My application uses salesmeeting with customers and an officer. When the salesmeeting is active, OfficerID is set to the salesmeeting. If the officer closes the salesmeeting, officerID shall be set to NULL. Now, sometimes when explorer doesn't close correctly, the OfficerID is still set in the database. So, when another officer tries to login to the salesmeeting it's is locked by the first officer because only one officer at the time can access a salesmeeting.
Now to the problem: I'm trying to develop a script which simply updates the database and sets the officerID for a specific salesmeeting to NULL in order to "unlock" that salesmeeting.
The script looks like this:
UPDATE SALESMEETING SET OFFICERID = NULL
WHERE OFFICERID = 'XXXXX' AND SALESMEETINGID = '12345'
I commit the changes and OfficerID is set to NULL or (null) as it looks is SQL developer.
When logging in to the application, officerID is set to the active officer, so far so good. But, when running the Hibernate method saveOrUpdate() for the salesmeeting, the server hangs and nothing happens.
The thing is, when I manually set officerID to NULL by simply leaving the field blank, saveOrUpdate() works perfectly fine.
The third way of setting trying to set the value to null, by manually setting officerID
by typing (null) in the field generates another problem (I guess this is interpreted as the String "(null)")?
So, what I am wondering is what my script does wrong, is it not really setting officerID to NULL or is there something I need to understand about Hibernates saveOrUpdate()?
Thanks!

Hi,
To set a column to null, you have written right script.
Please make sure that 'null' & null are entirly different thing.
may be when system get hang, you might have written 'null' in stead of null.
Thanks.

Script does not work after download

Hi,
I have build a form in SAP enviornment using Adobe Life Cycle designer, while designing I have been using XML datasource and wrote scripts for different events on the elements of the form, the script works perfectly fine while designing, but fails when downloaded through an application. I downloaded form and to check if the scripts are still there or not, the script was present, but would not simply execute, for ex. while on clicking of button, certain fields on the form are to be hidden, but this would not work.
ex. this.parent.parent.StaticText39.presence
= "hidden";this.parent.parent.STELL_STEXT.presence
= "hidden";
The above scripts work perfect durong designing the form, but would not work after form is downloaded through an applciation. Could any one have answer to wierd behaviour?
Regards,
Shishir.P

Was the form saved as a dynamic XML form?
While the default preview in LiveCycle Designer may be set to dynamic XML form, thus providing the dynamic behaviour you are seeking, if the form is not saved as a dynamic XML form Adobe Reader and Acrobat will not respect the changes to the presence property at run-time.

Script does not work on the second page

Hi, I believe it's just a little problem:
I use the following script( I just copied a part of it, so don't care
about missing brackets etc.)
to automatically fill some text field according to the selection in a drop-down field:
switch (xfa.event.newText) {
case "8 8x1":
berstdruck.rawValue = "≥65";
htberst.rawValue = "≥20";
maxflex.rawValue = "≥34";
deflect.rawValue = "≥6";
flexforce.rawValue = "≤44";
minbend.rawValue = "≤40";
permeation.rawValue = "≤2";
length1.rawValue = "-1,5...+1,5"; remark:these fields are on page 2
length2.rawValue = "-1,2...+1,2"; remark:these fields are on page 2
break;
The last two fields on page 2 of
my document are not filled automatically.
The others work well.
Can somebody help?
Thanks
Alex

You'll need to fully qualify the fields that are on other pages. The reason for this is these fields are not underneath the same parent in the XML DOM as where you're script is running (the drop-down). So it does not find the fields on the other pages and doesn't know where to look for them.
A fully qualified SOM expression would look something like this:
xfa.form.formName.pageName.subFormOnThePageNameIfExists.fieldName

Remediation Script does not work for Compliance Settings Configuration Item / Baseline

Hello Everyone,
I've created a script to check NetBios over TCP/IP state on the NICs and if it is Enabled (Non-compliant) it should run the remediation script to Disable it (Compliant). The script identifies correctly if it is compliant or not but it's not compliant the
remediation script doesn't kick in.
Discovery script:
$adapter=(gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration | where {$_.ipenabled -eq "1"})
Foreach ($nic in $adapter) {
write-host NetBIOS Options is now -> $nic.TcpIPNetBiosOptions
Remediation Script:
$adapter=(gwmi win32_networkadapterconfiguration | where {$_.ipenabled -eq "1"})
Foreach ($nic in $adapter) {
$adapter.settcpipnetbios(1)
Any clue why this is happening and how can it be fixed?
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
Please add an a line to create an event in the Application log of the computer to check if remediation had been performed.

Application written with JavaScript does not work in newer versions of Firefox

I am unable to upgrade past Firefox 3.6 because an application we use does not appear to work properly any any newer version. The application is CA Service Manager and is based on JavaScript. The pages display properly, but none of the links in the pages seem to work. When I click on a link, nothing happens. I have tried restarting in safe mode and resetting the profile, but neither of those helped any. Is this just a setting I need to change?

Would you be able to at least provide a link to the site you are having issues with, so that more experienced users can crack a shot at it? If not, please open a support ticket directly with the Mozilla team. There should be a "Report broken site" function in the Help menu of Firefox as well.
