Installing FIM 2010 Add-ins and Extensions via GPO

Hi,
I have been trying to install the FIM Client using Group Policy software installation using the following link : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2236.how-to-prepareexecute-installation-of-fim-2010-add-ins-and-extensions-via-gpo.aspx
The crucial section missing on this page is what property to add/modify using Orca so that the install can proceed silently using an MST file which provides the registration_portal_url, RMS_location and addlocal properties for the FIM client install.
If I install the client manually using the following command, msiexec /i "Add-ins and extensions.msi" transforms=client.mst /q, the client install proceeds silently which is what I expect.
The UILevel=2 property is supposed to tell Windows installer to proceed silently as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372096%28v=vs.85%29.aspx, however when I set this property in Orca for the transform file and then I execute the msiexec command,
the UI still comes up and prompts me for selecting the different options for installing the client.
Has anybody successfully deployed FIM client through group policy?
Thanks!

I still cannot get the FIM client to install through GPO. To confirm that a silent install of the FIM client works (because that is exactly what the GPO software install is doing), I ran the following command on my Windows XP computer
msiexec /i "Add-ins and extensions.msi" /q
Immediately, after running this command, I got an error in the application log
"Product: Forefront Identity Manager Add-ins and Extensions -- You must specify FIM Service server address."
So it looks like there is no way to install the client through GPO without specifying the FIM service server, and that cannot be done without an MST file.....
So I will have to play around with the MST file and see if I can get it installed

Is it necessary to install FIM language packs for FIM Client Add ins ?

Hi All ,
Is it necessary to install FIM language packs for FIM Client Add ins, if I want it to use in different languages for different countries.
And also , I would like to know the order in which the Client Add In and language packs should be installed , like what should be installed first ?
Regards,
Anil Kumar

Hello,
Yes, it's necessary to install language packs if you want to use it.
You need to install the client and then the language packs.

What is business add-ins and business transaction events

Dear All,
Would you mind tell me what it sht business add-ins and business transaction events ?
i still not understand about this after i read the training material
Regards
Luke

Hi LukeWong ,
BAdi:
SAP Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) are one of the most important technologies used to adapt SAP software to specific requirements. BAdIs were introduced with Release 4.6 and replace function module exits. This technology is not limited to SAP applications. BAdI calls can be integrated in customer applications. These can then be enhanced by other customer applications. In the various SAP applications, BAdI calls are implemented at places where enhancements are appropriate.Business add-ins are enhancements to the standard version of the system. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software.
As with customer exits, two different views are available:
· In the definition view, an application programmer defines exit points in a source that allow specific industry sectors, partners, and customers to attach additional coding to standard SAP source code, without having to modify the original object.
· In the implementation view, the users of Business Add-Ins can customize the logic they need or use a standard solution, if one is available.
In contrast to customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions), but instead allow for a multi-level system landscape (SAP, country-specific versions, industry solutions, partner, customer, and so on). You can create definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins at any level of the system landscape.SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces. You do not have to register Business Add-Ins in SSCR.
The Business Add-In enhancement technique differentiates between enhancements that can only be implemented once and enhancements that can be used actively by any number of customers at the same time. In addition, Business Add-Ins can be defined according to filter values. This allows you to differentiate between Add-In implementations using the filter Country or other criteria.
The enhancement technique is set up in such a way that it is possible to define interfaces for ABAP soure code, screens, GUI interfaces, and tables. These allow customers to include their own enhancements in the standard. A single Business Add-In contains all of the interfaces necessary to implement a specific task.
BADI is just an object-oriented version of user-exit. Instead of entering program code into some function module (as in customer-exit), you define some class which has to implement predefined methods and those methods are fired at predefined points just like an old user-exit. Some BADI can have multiple independent implementations which is much better for software deployment as several developers can implement the same BADI independently. BADI/UserExists are used to enhance R/3 For customer Needs.
Actually there is no transaction to find when and where the BADI
is called.
1. You can see the BADI description to find why it is called.
2. Once you implemented and activated the BADI, put some break points
in the BADI and see "where else used" option to check in what all
programs this BADI is called. In the ITS debug, when you are doing
the operation what exactly the BADI description tells, it will take
to the break points and you have to do manually debug the whole thing.
I know its bit difficult to do manual debug the whole thing, it
takes lot of time, but you have to be very patience when you are
dealing with BADI's.
Transaction SE18 is the BADI equivalent of transaction SMOD
Transaction SE19 is the BADI equivalent of transaction CMOD .
To find the BADI to be implemented and then implement this via SE19.
These steps should enable you to find any BADI related to any transaction in a matter of minutes.
Procedure 1:
1) Go to the transaction SE37 to find your function module.
2) Locate the function SXV_GET_CLIF_BY_NAME.
3) Put a breakpoint there.
4) Now open a new session.
5) Go to your transaction. 6) At that time, it will stop this function.
7) Double click on the function field EXIT_NAME.
8) That will give you name of the BADI that is provided in your transaction.
Business Add-Ins
Procedure 2:
1) Goto se24 (Display class cl_exithandler)
2) Double click on the method GET_INSTANCE.
3) Put a break point at Line no.25 (CASE sy-subrc).
4) Now Execute SAP standard transaction
5) Press the required button for which you need to write an exit logic, the execution will stop at the break point.
6) Check the values of variable 'exit_name', it will give you the BADI name called at that time.
7) This way you will find all the BADIs called on click of any button in any transaction

Business Transaction Events
Business Transaction Events (Open FI) The Open FI enhancement technique was developed in the Financial Accounting component. Open FI is based upon the following principles: Application developers must define their interface in a function module, an assignment table is read in the accompanying (generated) code, and the customer modules assigned are called dynamically. This technique differentiates between enhancements that are only allowed to have one implementation and enhancements that can call multiple implementations in any sequence desired. Both industry-specific and country-specific enhancements may be defined.
SAP business transaction events are one type of customer enhancements provided by SAP! We can access the business transaction events using FIBF.Next we have to find the process interface for duplicate invoice check!

Why have many of my add-ons and extensions been disabled after switching to firefox 6

Many of my add-ons and extensions have been disabled after switching to Firefox 6.
None of the Java extensions can be used;
my Microsoft frame is disabled;
my media player is gone;
and my google toolbar with all of my important bookmarks is missing.
How can Firefox 6 be considered an "upgrade"?
How can I '''retrieve Firefox 4 or 5'?''--there's no point in using a browser that limits so many necessary add-on sites!

Hi, mhaoo7--
Tried your plugins updating suggestion; no go.
Then tried updating to FF7.
This time the Yahoo! toolbar was no longer compatible with FF.
Scoured sites discussing problems with versions 6 & 7
and decided to retire to version 3.6.19.
Now both Google and Yahoo! toolbars are re-installed and
working....Only deficit may be that FF no longer supports or
soon will not support this version.
I have stashed all of my necessary bookmarks on Google's toolbar;
I like its drop-down menu as it doesn't change the page/window I'm
in the process of using;
I don't want to see that menu listed separately in a new window (too chaotic).
Same for the Google dictionary and Thesaurus, which are straightforward
and easy to use, again requiring nothing more complicated than a drop-down menu
to search for words and concepts.
--I checked Firefox 6 and 7's Dictionary/Thesaurus options but unfortunately
found none.
So if Firefox continues to upgrade with diminished returns, I'll likely have to go
to Google Chrome.
Would rather not do that.
Maybe I can keep FF 3.6.19 without incurring nasty repercussions.
Hope so.
Have enjoyed being with Firefox for a few years.
Thank you for your attention.

Installed Adobe dlm add-on and now Firfox will not open. I see the process starting in Task Manager but no window opens. Unistalled Firefox then re-installed but still no luck. HELP ME!

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/793259]''
I installed Adobe dlm add-on and now Firefox will not open. I see the process starting in Task Manager but no window opens. Unistalled Firefox then re-installed but still no luck. HELP ME! I do not want to use IE! I presume it has something to do with Adobe DLM as ever since then it is not working.

I had this problem for a couple weeks as well and it was extremely frustrating considering we use firefox for all our company tasks. Here is the solution:
First of all if you have no bookmarks you want to save, then go directly to step 7. If you want to save your bookmarks first, then follow these steps.
1. Shut down the computer
2. Reboot and open firefox
3. Go to Task Manager, right click firefox.exe, and click END PROCESS TREE
4. WAIT 30 SECONDS! Then Double-click the shortcut to try and open firefox again
5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until firefox finally opens (trust me, eventually it will)
6. Once it finally opens, backup your bookmarks,
7. Download a copy of firefox from there website
8. Uninstall from programs menu and make sure to check the box REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS
9. install the new copy and BOOM! it works
If it doesn't work, you're an idiot. If you don't want to reinstall firefox, then you're out of luck. Good Luck!

I have disabled all add ons and extensions to stop adverts but everytime I log into my pc the adverts appear again? not happy :(

since I updated firefox I have been HOUNDED by adverts. I read an article that suggested disabling all add ons and extensions but they seem to enable themselves again after I open my pc! I am very careful and always tick and untick boxes when I am downloading updating anything to ensure this doesn't happen therefore these add ons seem to have been automatically added by firefox during the update. not cool! the amount of adverts and the fact I have never suffered from such a pop up invasion in my life is becoming EXTREMELY annoying how do i permanently stop these adverts?

Slow scrolling with all add-ons and extensions disabled, but OK is safe mode

I have a page for work, with a lot of links, that scrolls very slowly, with a choppy action. It is the same with all add-ons and extensions disabled. But when restarted in safe mode, the scrolling is OK.
What else does the safe mode block? Or what could be the problem.

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO not working properly

Hello,
i've installed Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO.
Installation works fine, but there is no flash player available in Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Deployed both Flash Players.
Tried to reinstall Flash Player 11.8.800.94 for Firefox, but it's still not active.
Windows 7, 64bit
Greetings,
Michael

Hello Comvel.
RE:
Hello,
i haven't fixed it yet.
I've deployed the last few version of flash player without any problems.
I haven't found any new things in the admin guide.
The plugins don't show up in both browsers. I can't enable them.
On the most importent clients, i've installed flash player manually.
I know it has been a few months since your post but, I was wonderingif you were able to find a solution for this that didn't involve manual installations. I've recently deployed 11.8.800.175 and am running into the same problems. Some work stations are just fine. But others, (both windows 7 and xp, all IE8) are not working. When navigating to a site like youtube, theres a banner that says update is needed. When you go to manage add-ons there is no shock object/add on.

How to silently install office add-ins and bypass the microsoft office customization installer popup

Hello all,
I want to install an office add-in for all the computers in my company silently. But when I use the commands "%~dp0\test.exe" /S. I receive the following popup.
Is there a way to bypass this to install the add-in silently?
Thank you very much for the help.

probably, this file was downloaded via Internet Explorer, from the IE "Internet" zone?
If so, the Alternate Data Stream, on the file, will have the Zone.Identifier populated.
If you right-click the file in Windows Explorer, do you get the "Unblock" button offered?
If so, click Unblock, and then try your script again.

How to install 3 Excel Add-Ins in one deployment ?

I have 3 excel add-ins which work in conjunction with each other. I want the user to install all 3 at the same time, from one install package. How to do that?
I am following the steps in "Deploying an Office Solution by Using Windows Installer".
This is a single user install.
Just guessing, I have created a visual studio solution containing the 3 add-in projects as "existing projects". And the 4th project in this solution is a "setup and deployment" project type. InstallShield Limited Edition Project.
I am not clear if there should be a different destination folder for the .vsto and .dll.manifest files for each add-in.
thanks,

Hi Steve Richter,
Here is a MSDN article about how to Deploy Multiple Office Solutions in a Single ClickOnce Installer.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd465290(v=vs.100).aspx
The article will tell you the following three points.
Creating two Office solutions to deploy, and one Office solution as the installer project.
Modifying the application manifest of the installer project to install two Office solutions.
Re-signing the application and deployment manifests.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Manual update for plug ins and extensions not working

I've just noticed that when I attempt to manually check for updates either in plug ins and/or extensions from the gear symbol drop down screen that I get the drop down screen, but, the check for updates function does not work. It just sits there with nothing happening. I have to close the screen to get out of that function. Anybody know anything about this?

Thanks you for your comments. I would mention that this problem just started with the update to FF 37.0.4 I tried restarting FF in safe mode with no effect on the above mentioned problem. Any other thoughts?

Plug-ins and extensions?

Where might a Windows user download plug-ins and/or extensions (beyond the major commercial ones, Shockwave/Quicktime, et cal.) to enhance the functionality and customize Safari for Windows?

Pull owner from computer object and add to BUILTIN\Administrators via GPO

Quick question here - is it possible to pull an owner from computer object in AD (left side of picture) and add him to BUILTIN\Administrators on this particular workstation along with 2 AD groups and 'LocalAdmin' user (right side of picture)? Im interested
only in doing it via GPO.

> Quick question here - is it possible to pull an owner from computer
You mean "manager" and not "owner", right? The owner is defined in
"security - advanced - owner" and is the account that initially created
the object. Typically "Domain Admins"...

Nothing as easy as that. You can use GPP local users and groups, and you
can use Item Level Targeting with LDAP filters. Grab the managedBy
attribute of the computer account, grab the samaccountname of the
managedBy DN and you're almost done :)

Updated to the new firefox 4.0. completely screwed up comp. Had to pay to have an old firefox reinstalled, trying to uninstall extensions and add ons but am unable to do it from the add ons and extension screen. need help

I keep selecting the uninstall button on the screen but the restart firefox now button only comes up every once in awhile. I've restarted firefox several times but the addons and extensions are still there with the options of disabling or uninstalling available for selection. All extensions and addons worked just fine before upgrading to 4.0. Am really frustrated and disappointed with Mozilla Firefox because of this situation.
