Local Windows runtime user?
Is there a way to use a local windows account as a runtime user?
I have tried to create a windows runtime user, but domain is a required field, and if I use the local machine name as the domain, the validation fails, I assume because it's trying to query AD for the machine names domain.
Is there another way to create a runtime user for a local windows account?
Pawel,
As per my above statement. We never supported local users so whether it is in 3.0 or 2.X does not matter. People tended to get them to work because you could get around in a non HA/non 3.0 environment. Now with security even at the AD level, it's just not something that should work. Again it's not supported but if it's a feature you want/need you should raise a TAC case and have the enhancement added or at least your company added to the list that wants it.
Like Mike said you can try having the SAME username and SAME password on a user but that's highly dangerous and I doubt MS would say it's a best practice.
On adding to the domain, can you not do it via VMWare adapter via the Customize OS activity? I believe that has a domain piece in it. Or can you execute the command on a domain box but in the script target the remote box you are adding? (or something to that affect)
If none of these are options and you really must have local user support then I suggest a TAC case->Enhancement route.

Hi,
I'm playing around with the TIDAL windows agent (3.1.0.14). If I change the runtime user from the system account to some other local user I get an error on any jobs I attempt to run.
Error in creating IO file handles for job 451
And in the agent log I get this:

Any suggestions anyone?
Cheers
JoeDoes the local account have the following rights on the agent server?
1. Act as part of the operating system
2. Allow log on locally (verify Active directory account also has this priviledge)
3. Log on as batch job
4. Log on as a service
5. Replace process level token. -
Any way to set a user's UI Language or Report Locale at Runtime?
Hi ALL
I need some guidance. We have a requirement to display a report in either German or English based on the report query result. Is there any way to set a user's UI Language or Report Locale at Runtime? I've read several past blogs and forum posts, but no one seems to have the answer.

Error logging into runtime user
My coworker recently added a new windows agent that is on a different domain than her Tidal master and is getting the error
*** Error logging into runtime user when she tries to run a job through Tidal.
She verified that the runtime user has the proper rights on the agent server, she logged onto the agent as the runtime user and ran the script from the job manually and it ran successfully.
Is there a known problem with using a runtime user that was created in domainA but trying to run a job on an agent server in domainB?
ThanksIt turns out that the problem was with the userid the agent service was running under. She changed the service to run with the Local System credentials and the problem was solved.

CSC order search not working on local windows machine.
Hi All,
I am facing an issue when I set up CSC9.1 with Search9.1 on local windows XP machine.
I have setup everything for CSC with our ATG Commerce application.
The same DB and configurations work on my other linux installations.
Also, I have checked the JSP is present in the EAR at the correct location.
Below is the error which is thrown on the console when I hit the search button on CSC order search page.
If someone can help, it will be great. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response.
Please see my response to your questions below inline.
This seems like a JBoss/OS problem. Can you check if you have the right permissions to the ear file - did you install JBoss as one user, and then install the ATG ear as another user, or does the JSP file/enclosing directory itself have some permissions issue? Did you start JBoss as a different user?
<Abhinav> - I am using multiple instances of JBoss for CSC, Commerce, BCC and other apps. All applications except CSC works fine. I also checked the permissions on the containing folder in CSC EAR and other EARs, and all are same. Also I am the only user for my machine and have done everything via my login.
Or, can you check JBoss startup logs and see if you have any relevant errors? Do you see any errors just before this exception in your server logs?
<Abhinav> - No, this is the only error on console.
Do you have the JDK installed - if you run javac in your command prompt, what do you get? -
<Abhinav> - YES I have JDK. Heres what I see on CMD prompt -

Zenworks 7 Agent Upgrade Breaks Windows XP User Profiles
We have been having an intermittent problem since upgrading from the
Zenworks 4 agent to Zenworks 7 on our XP desktops. Users have been
reporting that their profiles are not loading on login and the error
message appears:
"Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrator."
Examination of the event log yields the following errors in this order:
Event ID 1508:
Windows was unable to load the registry. This is often caused by
insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.
Event ID 1502:
Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
Event ID 1515:
Windows has backed up this user's profile. Windows will automatically try
to use the backed up profile the next time this user logs on.
Event ID: 1511:
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a
temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you
log off.
Event ID 1517:
Windows saved user <user name> registry while an application or service
was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the
user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it
is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user
account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService
or NetworkService account.
Our systems are running Windows XP SP2 with the latest patches and Novell
Client 4.90 SP2. We did not encounter this problem when we were using
the Zenworks 4 agent. The only recent change we have made to the
environment is the upgrade to Zenworks 7. Therefore it appears that in
our case, the Zenworks 7 agent is the cause. The issue has not occurred
on every PC yet, however every day it seems that we get more and more
calls regarding this issue. Some users report that a reboot will fix the
problem while other users have seen a more persistent occurrence. For
the time being, we are installing UPHClean on the affected machines per
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;837115 However,
we need more testing to see if this will actually resolve the problem.
Furthermore, our objective is to determine why this issue has presented
itself after the Zenworks upgrade and what we can do from the Novell
perspective to fix it. Is there a possibility that Zenworks 7 agent is
not allowing these profiles to open? Could the upgrade to Zenworks 7
negatively impacted user profiles on these systems?
We performed the upgrade on a number of test systems without issue. We
pushed the Zenworks 7 MSI via a NAL object. The MSI essentially removed
Zenworks 4 and installed version 7.
Any help with this issue is appreciated.
Thanks.There is a good chance that UPHClean will resolve your issue.
The main issue is that most likely the profiles are not fully unloading
correctly and causing the reload to not work correctly.
The cause for the profiles sticking open are many and sort of why MS has
created the tool.
If the tool does not help, we can try and troubleshoot more.

Query to retrieve windows domain user account
I am totally new to Oracle. Right now, I have a requirement which needs the windows domain user account and local user accounts to be found and linked to. I ve been searching on google, but no use. Frankly, I have no idea even what I am supposed to do and I am not sure what I wrote here is even framed correct. Please help me out. Thanks a lot.
Hi,
I think you've made your first Oracle mistake: think that Oracle is working just the same as MS SQL Server :-)
First, before trying to do anything, you must read the TFM: Database Concepts(click) in order to begin to understand how Oracle works.
I'm going to try to explain fast and simple.
Oracle user accounts are different accounts than OS accounts. That is the first important point to get. A domain user "toto" will not automatically gat an Oracle "toto" account.
There are 3 types of user authentication:
. Password: typical authentication, no link between OS account and Oracle account
. External: User is authentified by the O.S. This means that the DBA has to create a special account that'll be "linked" to the O.S. account (whether it's a local or domain account)
. Global: The user is authentified by the enterprise directory service.
You can see these 3 approaches in the SQL Statements: CREATE USER doc(click). So, there is some way to link the Oracle user account to the O.S. user account, but not straight forward!
I need to verify if my oracle database user account is a windows domain user or not, if he/she is one, then if he/she is a local user account or a global user accountWhen I read this, the closest thing I can think of is the 3 types of authentication. And the info can be found in DBA_USERS (columns USERNAME, EXTERNAL_NAME and PASSWORD - obfuscated of course).
With these info, maybe can you see why your requirement is a bit strange? Anyway, read the references I linked and come back here with more questions / comments :-)

ShowAppointmentDetailsAsync does not work properly in Windows Runtime apps
I found a bug that AppointmentManager.ShowAppointmentDetailsAsync always returns immediately in a Windows Runtime app (this did not happen in a Silverlight app). Method should return only after user has pressed the back button as in other appointments
apis. Now it is very difficult to perform required actions in my app after user returns from the appointment details view. Please fix this latest in Windows 10 so I can remove my workarounds.Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Create a new C# Store project e.g. "Blank App (Windows Phone)" (must be a Windows Runtime app, NOT Silverlight).
2. In Package.appxmanifest add capability "Appointments"
3. In MainPage.cs insert the following code block:
protected override async void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
var appointmentStore = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Appointments.AppointmentManager.RequestStoreAsync(AppointmentStoreAccessType.AllCalendarsReadOnly);
var appointments = await appointmentStore.FindAppointmentsAsync(DateTimeOffset.Now, TimeSpan.FromDays(30));
var appointment = appointments.FirstOrDefault();
if (appointment != null)
await appointmentStore.ShowAppointmentDetailsAsync(appointment.LocalId);
(sample assumes you have at least one appointment in your calendar within next month)
5. Add a breakpoint on the line "await appointmentStore.ShowAppointmentDetailsAsync..."
6. Run the app, the breakpoint is hit.
7. Hit F10 and see how appointment details are shown as expected but call returns immediately which is not correct.
You can try the same code in a Silverlight app where it works correctly. -
Setting locale at runtime (Using SDK)
Hi,
Does anyone know how to set "Product Locale" at runtime?
I am writing a web app in C# that will take user's input to decide which language to use.
I am trying to set UserInfo.Locale and UserInfo.PreferredViewingLocale before calling openDocument.jsp.
The report itself works great. It translates into the language of my choice. But the Webi interface does not.
Any help?
Thanks!
MichaelHello Michael,
When using the OpenDocument method (.jsp or .aspx) you're "shelling out" from any custom application over to the OpenDocument application. The URL parameters will only affect the document being called. In my experience there aren't any URL parameters that directly interact with the viewer itself.
There's no SDK "hook" into the OpenDocument method. This is by design. The OpenDocument method is designed to directly access a report without using the SDK. If you need more granular control you'll probably want to explore writing a full blown application that makes full use of the Enterprise SDK.
Sincerely,

Moving/Linking Claims Windows Auth user to an ADFS Claims
Hi guys,
Here is my situation:
Initial deployment: SharePoint 2010 with Windows Authentication - Users login using AD
We successfully migrated the web application to use "Claims"
We then integrated the web application with ADFS 2.0 - Using the same AD users
Everything seems good and working fine.
The question I have is related to content already created in SharePoint. Is it possible to map the new ADFS account usernames to the existing windows authentication claims usernames?
This is important for users, because we would like the "My" views of lists and libraries to work. SharePoint at the moment thinks that the logged in users (using ADFS) is different than the user who created/modified the documents. (Although it
is the same AD account)Hi Inderjeet
Thanks for your reply. The article did help in moving users (Move-SPUser) from AD to ADFS (Which I noticed in the securities in groups), however, the issue I'm looking for is still standing where the items that were created by the user using "Windows
Auth Claim" were not moved/updated to the "ADFS Claim" user, which in fact they map to the same AD user.
Is there away to transfer/update the created by and modified by attributes of users from Windows Claims to ADFS Claims user?
UPDATE: The above statement is not correct. Move-SPUser actually updates the created by and modified by attributes to. -
When logging on to Windows 7 user gets a second mapped drive to the users home folder
Morning,
I'm working through an issue we've discovered whilst trialing Windows 7. Our environment is setup as follows.
Domain Controllers are Windows Server 2003
Clients are Windows XP and Windows 7
Windows XP and Windows 7 Clients are in seperate OU's
All Windows XP Group Policies apply to Windows XP And Windows 7 clients, Windows 7 policies are then applied to Windows 7 clients after
Windows 7 policies are setup such that any setting defined in a Windows XP Group policy is left unconfigured in the Windows 7 Group policy and only new Windows 7 settings have been set in Windows 7 Group Policies.
We have users home folders mapped in their Account Directory account setting and set to H:\ to connect to
\\domainname\dfs\home\username
In addition we also as a fail safe map the drive via a login script using net use
This has worked fine for years in windows XP, if Active Directory failed to map the drive for any reason then the login script would then map the home drive.
In Windows 7 we have noticed a curious error. We found after a period of a couple of weeks we suddenly started getting a new drive mapped. This was identical to the H:\ drive mapping but was instead under drive Z:\. In other words, the
users home folder is mapped twice on h:\ and z:\. This is not affecting any of the Windows XP users.
I have gone through several logic reasons to ascertain why this has happened with the following findings.
1. Originally we thought the error appeared when we tried out mapping the home drive using the mapped drives functionality new in Windows 7 group policy under preferences > windows settings > drive maps. However, after forcing it to delete the
Z:\ drive using this functionality we only succeeded in removing it with a group policy present to do it. As soon as we removed that group policy the Z:\ drive came back
2. Secondly i thought the reason we would be getting a z:\ drive when we haven't specified it anywhere is because active directory is trying to map to the H:\ Drive but it is already present therefore in Windows 7 it tries to map to a different drive.
Using Windows logic it tries the highest letter first which is unlikely to be in use i.e. z:\. This makes sense because our logon script uses a net use h:\ command to map the drive and i believe by default these are set to perisistent. Therefore
the next time the user logs on H:\ is already mapped so the logic in Active Directory accounts maps the drive to Z:\ instead hence we end up with two mapped home drives. To test this i altered the login script to set the drive maps to
non persistent using persistent:no. The logic here was that when the user logged off the drive would become unmapped so that when Active Directory tried to map the drive it would be able to use H:\. Unfortunately this was not the case and
Z:\ remains.
3. Here is where i resolve the issue but i don't know why and is the bit i need answering. If i go into my account on Active Directory and go to Profile and set the home folder drive letter to another letter i.e. change from H:\ to U:\,
i get prompted to set full control etc and apply. I then set the drive back from U:\ to H:\, again i am prompted for setting full control which i accept.
NOW when i login i no longer receive a Z:\ drive and only get an H:\ drive. YAY, thats what i want, however, i do not understand why this is the case. At first i thought it might be something in the active directory logic when i login to an XP
machine and then login to a windows 7 machine. IF you bear in mind that although i get a new profile in Windows 7 i still retain the same home folder setting. However, after logging on an XP machine logging off then logging
on a Windows 7 machine i still didn't get the Z:\ drive back.
I have tried creating a new user that ONLY receives our Windows 7 Group Policies and still they receive both an H:\ and a Z:\ drive which rules out the Windows XP policies conflicting with the Windows 7 policies.
Does anyone have any ideas why i would get a second drive mapped to Z:\ logging into Windows 7 on a Windows Server 2003 domain?
Can anyone explain in more detail exactly how the Active Directory functionality works when you specify a connect to Drive letter for a users home folder?
My current workaround is simply to add a net use command to remove the Z:\ drive. I do not want to use Mapped Network drives using the new policy settings in Windows 7 RSAT because we have already found issues with it.
<input id="3daf20bf-4f4d-4a05-86da-2c30c205d580_attachments" type="hidden" />We had the exact same issue happen to us. No issue on Windows XP but Windows 7 mapped two home drives (F and Z). F was mapped during the login script and Z was being mapped by some unknown reason.
We use Netapp for our storage and home drives and use a feature called CIFS Home Drive Mapping. This essentially maps a user to a folder not available through normal CIFS methods causing AD to error when setting the home drive. To get around this we use
dsquery and dsmod to modify this attribute in the user account. This is the command we used...
dsquery user -name %UserNameX% | dsmod user -hmdrv F -hmdir \\filer\$username$
Notice there is no ":" after the F
We determined the root causewas the value for the
homeDrive attributefor the user account was set to "F" instead of "F:"
When we updated our users to reference "F:" instead of "F" in their user, this problem was resolved.
Use LDP or some other method to verify that the homeDrive attribute is set to "F:" (or any other letter) or you will have this issue. -
I'm not responding issue on chat with Windows XP user
Hi Everyone,
First off, My ability to log on is still spotty with a mac.com or AIM address. I've done everything from my last posting regularly but still get spotty log ons, appoximately 1 in 8 log ons is successful, the rest is hoist unexpectedly lost. I personally think there is much more than just my computer, time for an upgrade Apple!
My problem today is that I'm trying to chat with a buddy in Austria. He's running Windows XP and installed AIM 5.9. He ran through the set up, his camera was listed, he did the autoconfigure, set up the camera and has a good preview.
When I log on I can see him and he me. We can text chat with no problems. HOWEVER, no video chat
When he calls me, I double click, it opens to the preview screen, I click on accept and my window say video conferencing starting, then it says video chast failed because I didn't respond. This is incomprehensible to me since I hit the accept button and the video chat tried to start.
Furthermore, when I call him, it rings at his place, he clicks accept, we both get the preview and video chat starting message, then I get the video chat failed because I didn't respond message, even though I initiated the call.
That all said, apart from the spotty log on problems plaguing me, once I am logged on, I have absolutely no problems chatting with my wife at the office on her Mac.
So, if I constantly get I didn't respond messages as described with a Windows XP user but not with the wife on a Mac, I have to assume there's nothing wrong at my end, or shouldn't I *** U & ME at all??!!
Does the windows user need different ports than me, do I need to open additional ports, should I switch off my firewall completely?? He already tried switching off his firewall coompletely but the same message came up.
I pointed my buddy to Ralph's web site, but when we went there to get the windows updated component, it appeared to want to download the same messenger 5.9 that we downloaded earlier today, the file was the same 8.8 meg. Am I missing something Ralph?
Of course, there "may" be a language compatibility issue because 5.9 is English and he's running it on a german version of Windows (AIM only has text on AIM 5.1 for Gewrman users right now which has no video) but he didn't have any problems with the install or set up.
It's just really confusing. Any suggestions??Curious, you said each other could see each other BEFORE initiating a video chat... do you mean that each of you could see each other in the buddies list?
As for not connecting to a PC user, you're not the only one having issues. I have been able to receive a video chat from a PC user, but not initiate one with that same user. Basically in order for me to receive a video chat from the PC user (they must initiate the chat), I had to go into my System Preferences > Internet and Network > Sharing > Firewall and then check the box "iChat BonJour". My firewall is turned off, however, if I do not put a check in that one box, the PC user can't video chat with me. Don't ask me why this is so since the firewall is turned off, it should automatically allow traffic on all ports... but alas, apparently that is not the case. That alone did not do the trick because the PC users router was not playing well in the mix. He connected directly to his modem (removed his router from the mix), and initiated a video chat with me, no problems. If he puts his router back into the mix, he can't video chat any more. If I deselect the "iChat Bonjour" setting, whether he is connected to the router or not, he will no longer be able to initiate a video chat any more. I tried removing my router, so that basically we both were connected directly to our modems, but that didn't help me to initiate a video chat with him. Text chats have never been a problem and both of us are using AIM as our intermediary.
I also have no problems whatsoever chatting with fellow Mac users... but then, we are all working with the same software/OS whereas the PC users are not.
Give my little scenario a go with your PC friend and see if he can now initiate a chat with you. I too would like to know what the PC user needs to enable as well... like specifics since merely saying open ports blah blah blah does nothing for someone who has no idea where to look to make those changes on a PC.
So what I have learned is:
1. Merely turning your firewall off doesn't automatically enable certain port traffic on your machine, you must enable it yourself. This could also be true for the PC users as well, thus knowing where to enable said ports under WindowsXP would be greatfully welcome.
2. Routers can interfere with the process. If removing the routers from the chain still results in no joy, then consider it to be a configuration issue on each machine. If removing the routers works, then your machines/software are good to go, you just now have to figure out why the routers don't like each other. In my case, my router works fine for him, but his does not work fine for me.
One should be able to connect to a PC if the PC can connect to you. Clearly I need to enable something else on my end or he needs to enable something on his end. The stuff should work, but our stupid machines are telling themselves to not work because we never told them that we want them to work. I know that sounds absurd, but I proved that was the case when I got the PC user to initiate a successful video chat with me. -
After upgrading to Itunes 10.5 and connecting the IPAD. I get a following message. How do I resolve this issue. There is no other way to download itunes to ipad other than the itunes on your computer or laptop. I am a windows xp user.
Dear Mr. Sawyer,
To my surprise, the version is shown as 10.0.1.22. I will uninstall itunes and try loading the same again. After uninstalling do we need to delete any registry entries for Windows XP.
Thanks for your response and concern.

Saving to SharePoint works only half the time for Windows 7 Users--all the time for Windows XP users
We have a SharePoint 2010 Environment with hardware load balancing, 2 WFEs, 2 Apps Servers and 1 SQL Server. This was built in October 2013. Office Integration and Saving back to SharePoint works all of the time for users on XP. It works sporadically for
users on Windows 7. When Windows 7 users do the following:
Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint
Within a Document Library, using Save As from an opened document
When selecting in a Document Library from the Document Tab> “New” and then the desired content type
Send> Save to SharePoint from within Office Document
They may either be brought to the SharePoint library (correct) or to My Documents (incorrect).
In the case of number 1 (Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint)--using Save and Send will sometimes open the SharePoint library and sometimes open My Documents.
Our URL is https://CompanyName.domainname.com/Sites/SiteCollectionName
The intermediary "Sites" is actually a blank path.
When My Documents is opened I've noted with Fiddler (a web debugger) that we get a 404 on sites:
Could this be the issue?Some things to double check:
Ensure that you have sticky sessions enabled on your load balancer
Check that your WebDav calls are making it to the server
Ensure that you have a root site collection in all your web apps
Just out of curiosity, what is the http request look like for the 404 error?
