Machine name not saved after image

Can't seem to see the workstations I imaged in zenworks. I have reimaged
and renamed some machines and can only see the old name in zenworks and
not the new name.
Example
If the workstation name was NOVELL-1
and I reimaged it and renamed it NOVELL-ONE
I can only see the NOVELL-1 in zenworks and can't do a thing to it
because it does not exist. I can't see the NOVELL-ONE workstation in
zenworks at all. And if I try to reimage it it never saves the name and
ask's me to name it again. I'm lost, I thought it saved the name in the
same place it saves the things like "last image path".....

Using powershell to name a device after imaging

Hi All,
I am trying to use a combination of a preboot bundle and powershell scripts to name a pc after initial imaging or reimaging.
- Reimaging seems to work as long as the pc is joined to the windows domain after installation of zcm11.2.4 client
but
what is a reliable way to obtain the computer name for a pc not previously imaged, and name the device after imaging. I have been trying to use powershell scripts as per https://www.novell.com/communities/c...-registration/ .... but I seem to be missing something (I also do not have the HP bios utility available).
Any ideas or words to provide clarity would be appreciated.
Thank you
Peter

Hi
Not sure I get what the issue is? It works, no? Is it the order
that's the problem?
Are you not able to rename with PS, or?

Custom report: Machine Name Not Match Serial Number

What criteria would I use for a custom report that would show computers
with Machine Names not matching Serial Numbers?

> What criteria would I use for a custom report that would show computers
> with Machine Names not matching Serial Numbers?
Don't really see an easy way to do that. You don't get an option to say
machine name not= to serial number or visa versa. The only thing I can
see to do is create a basic workstation report and display machine name
and serial number and do a side by side comparison.

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port. Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device. I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks. The drive does work using USB. It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

Time Machine does not start after external hard drive is connected

Time Machine does not start after external hard drive is connected

These are the iCloud storage options: http://www.apple.com/icloud/includes/lightbox-storage.html
Also bear in mind that:
1. restoring data over icloud takes time
2. iCloud is not designed as a replacement to Time Machine.

Time Machine will not backup after an error creating the backup folder.

I have TM that will not make backups anymore after getting an error trying to create the backup folder. It wasn't able to complete that backup so it will not create new ones.
I also have a huge file in the backup directory:"dateofbackupattempt.inprogress". It is 231 Gb as if it was trying to do a complete backup instead of an incremental one.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you Pondini.
The Time Machine symbol in the menu appears as a grey ghost, not the black symbol usually seen.
That sounds like Time Machine is turned OFF (on the Preferences panel).
I assume you clicked the TM icon in your menubar or Dock and selected Back Up Now?
It had not saved a thing and the partial file in the folder was dated back to Feb when it all stopped recording. I repaired the disc again. No issues noted.
That sounds like a backup didn't get started at all.
Tried to restart Time Machine. Same grey ghost.
Do you mean moving the big slider button on the TM Prefs panel to ON, or Back Up Now?
Decided to erase and start anew. Got the message cannot erase as disc cannot be unmounted.
Where to next? Help!!!!
Assuming you were doing Back Up Now, let's see what your logs show. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.
Also either tell us what's on the Preferences panel, or post a screenshot of it.

Time Machine disk not mounting after sleep

Greetings,
I am having a problem with the external USB disk (500GB Iomega) that I have set up for Time Machine not remounting after my iMac wakes back up. Nothing I have tried, short of rebooting, seems to cause the Mac to notice the drive. I have tried turning the drive off and back on, but that didn't work, and neither did unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable. (I suppose obviously) Time Machine won't do any backups and complains that "The storage location for Time Machine backups can't be found." Time Machine Set Up says "Next Backup: When Disk is Connected." If I reboot, the disk will show up and Time Machine will commence backups, but then, after the machine sleeps, I have the same problem again.
When I first plugged the drive in last night the computer immediately recognized it, mounted it, and asked me if I wanted to use it for Time Machine. I didn't have to do anything. I then successfully started Time Machine and it did its initial and several hourly backups as expected. Then the machine went to sleep and the disk never came back (short of a reboot).
The computer is a brand new 24-inch, 2.8Ghz, iMac with Leopard installed from the included DVD immediately after opening the box - I did nothing before installing Leopard.
This is my first Mac (I am a Unix refugee) so I may very well be doing something entirely stupid, but surely external disks should still be mounted (or automount) after the computer returns from sleep. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any way to force Leopard to mount the drive, but I probably just don't know where to look.
To be completely clear... the drive is plugged directly into the iMac on USB, no external hub. There is no networking involved with this disk. I didn't make any kind of settings to the disk (either to the disk itself- there aren't any, or on the iMac when I plugged the disk in). The only thing I did was answer "Yes" when Time Machine popped up a window asking if I wanted to use the new disk for backups. Last time the disk was mountet (before the computer went to sleep again) I ran the Disk Utility and it said the drive was fine.
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I couldn't find it. Like I say, I'm new to the Mac and to these forums, so please forgive me if this post is redundant.

Ok, I went into console, and forced my iMac to sleep to see what the console would show was actually happening. I am not a very computer savvy person, but this is what the console said:
Nov 8 21:50:27 steve-freunds-computer kernel[0]: USBF: 48332.754 AppleUSBEHCI[0x52ab000]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 0xfa, timing out! (Addr: 3, EP: 2)
I believe this may be related to the problem. The AppleUSBEHCI appears to identify the offending driver/controller as the EHCI controller (Enhanced Host Controller Interface), or the controller that handles usb 2.0 High Speed (usually usb 1.1 and 2.0 Full Speed are handled by something that would be called a UHCI or Universal Host Controller Interface) USB High Speed is the fastest of the three usb speeds and although the interface is compatable with the slower speeds, works rather differently than the other two. Beyond that I'll have to look into what this message means (I'm brand new to the Mac - I've only had this one a couple of weeks).
*Could others that are seeing this problem please post how many usb ports on the computer, not total devices connected to hubs or anything, but actual, physical ports on the computer that they are using?* Experimenting a little, on mine at least, I have not had the problem discussed in this thread when only two (out of the three available) of the physical USB ports on the Mac are used. Again on mine at least, it also doesn't seem to matter what, with the exception of external hubs, is plugged into the ports. Replacing the external drive with a flash drive or iPod Touch produces the same results, so it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Iomega drive that I started seeing the problem with - it may be that that was just the third thing I plugged in (or not - I realize that I am a sample of one).
It also seems to be that things connected to an external hub continue to work after the other two ports have failed. This is probably why most keyboards (mercifully) keep working - they are usually hubs (Apple's external ones are). I can't guarantee this however because I haven't really tested it - just observed it so far to be the case for me so far. Hubs do work differently than ordinary usb "functions" as the usb spec calls them.
Lastly...
If you have Xcode installed (assuming you have it installed in the default /Developer location) there is a tool in /Developer/Applications/Utilities called "USB Prober" that can provide some useful USB information.
In my case, once a device stops working I see the status of the non-functioning devices reported as:
High Speed device @ 2 (0xFA200000): ............................................. External HD (did not respond to inquiry - 0xe00002ed, might be Suspended)
High Speed device @ 3 (0xFA400000): ............................................. HP Color LaserJet 2605dn (did not respond to inquiry - 0xe0004051, might be Suspended)
And indeed the usb ports in question do appear to be behaving as if the host (the Mac) has them suspended - but I can't be entirely sure. I will try to look into this some more later if I can.
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. To save questions: I've tried all the easy stuff: Switched cables, swapped out the hub I have on one of the ports, tried different devices in the ports (so far an HP printer, Iomega external disk, iPod Touch, and Sony usb flash drive). Nothing resolved the issue. My keyboard and mouse are connected to a 2.0 High Speed hub. I've tried using another hub, but it didn't make any difference.

Hierarchy Data not saved after Hierarchy Load

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem with the hierarchy data load in SAP BPC NW 7.5 SP06. I have already used /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER & /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER once to load the data from BI to BPC and it worked fine that time.
Now I have made some changes in the Hierarchy at the BI side. When I run the package link list, the /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER chain runs fine and the master data, description for Attribute and Hierarchies are loaded perfectly. But whn the /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER is run, the changes are not saved in the BPC Member sheet. I have manually make the changes in the member sheet and Process the Dimension.
Can we process the Dimension explicitly after the Hierarchy load again?
Does anyone have an idea about this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Abhishek,
Double check whether /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER is bringing all the ID's,Texts and Hierarchy Nodes. If required drop the data from dimesion member sheet and load it again.
Double check the Hierarchy and level setup while running /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER.
(when we are in SP05, it was not bringing the multiple Hierarchies, now we are in SP07 loading multiple hierarchies but not the TEXT fo the Id's some inconsistency)
Thanks

AP workflow comments not saved after posting

dear
Ive posted it in controlling forum, but it had to be rather here.
I
when i check SAP AP workflow document overview id like to see comments entered by accountant as the reason for document parking. as soon as the document gets posted i see the approval and coding workflow path but comments are not saved any longer. do you know what might be a reason for that? why it happens? maybe it is related to specific settings for workflow?
workflow log for the posted docs is neither showing this information.
your advice much appreciated.
thank you very much!
regards
els

thank you for trying to help me.
Well, it looks this way: invoice is parked as PO document via workflow and send for approval - for different reasons (price difference, no GR, any PO found etc). Accountant while parking enters comment - to inform approver about the issue.
Sometimes the invoices bounces back already coded and ready for posting, sometimes is rejected - then we have 2nd comment as the reason for rejection. When finally invoice is ready for posting and is posted - these all comments (for parking, for posting) are disappearing. They are not saved in workflow overview history.
The posting might be done manually via workflow, automatically, or via tcode to post parked doc. But in anyway - comments are not saved. I am sure its possible to review invoice workflow history (if appicable) and see the issues identified for that invoice (audit purposes for instance). But I dont know how to check what should be set up for the workflow to have all these comments saved in workflow overview history (not long text, not WF log).
When i.e. you enter WF overview history you see name and action (park, reject etc) - when was clicking on that line it was seen below the screen the comment.
Thank you very much for your help!

SCCM Client not installing after imaging the computer. Where to start?

Hi,
When I image or re-image a new machine, it will finish successfully but the client will be set to "NO" regardless of how many days I leave it there.
We delete the machine name both on SCCM and Active Directory prior to any image deployment. Therefore, the imaging process is treated as new. Autodiscovery is also enabled except for Network Discovery which we never enabled ever.
We are running SCCM 2012 SP1. Windows 7 both 32 and 64 bit.
If we install the client manually on the workstations, it is fine but it has to be automatic on the server side.
Pls. help. Thanks!

You are right on. Thank you thank you! The client is stuck in provisining mode. This helped me understand the cause of the problem.
However, the solution of setting the provision from true to false in the registry, didn't change the "client install" status from No to Yes. Also, the restart option is already set to the default operating system...
So what I did (and currently testing right now) is disabled the restart option to see if that's the reason it is getting messed up.
Will follow up shortly.

ITunes preferences not saved after logging out.

iTunes preferences not saved when logging out. Using iTunes11.0.4.4 Preferences are not saved when logging back in. Is this a bug or is there a file or registry key I need to fix?
Thanks

Hello JK,
If you used Mac's automatic Software Update... to get to 10.5.1, try this:
• Repair permissions.
• Download and install the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.
• Repair permissions again after the restart that completes the install.
• Test to see if problem is still there.
If problem exists, try suggestions relevant to your system from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.

VPN settings not saved after upgrading ipad

I got an ipad mini so I did a backup of my ipad 3 and restored that copy to the ipad mini.
Everything was restored ok with the exception of my VPN settings, it's a VPN from work and now I can only access that network from my ipad 3, not form ipad mini.
Please help

I'm having the same problem too. I backed up my iPad 3 settings and downloaded to my iPad mini, now the exchange email settings won't save.
The credentials are exactly the same as my iPhone, bit it keeps giving the message 'unable to verify account information'
Anyone else having this issue with the iPad mini not saving settings?

Slice and 'saving for web and devices' not saving all images in selected area

Thanks for your reply. Yes, my Photoshop CS5 is updated to 12.1. I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and have tried viewing in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome with no improved success.
I have been reading these forums for about 3 hours trying to find the answer to this question but am still at a loss. I have found one article here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7974006/overlapping-image-in-photoshop-splice-how-to-fl oat-with-css
which explains using an "absolute" value in CSS to lock images in place. I'm currently working in Dreamweaver to see if it's a common error in Photoshop when resizing browser but is easily fixed on the CSS side.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
