Multiple Issues with Windows 8 Client

Mac client, Yosemite with auto-update on
Windows client, Windows 8 with auto-update on.
Mac client sends request to user on Windows 8 and gets nothing.
Mac client tries to call Windows 8 user who changed her security setting to "accept call from anyone." Call does not complete to Windows 8 user and returns "system error" or something like that. Windows 8 user gets no indication of attempted call.
Furthermore, Windows 8 user cannot find user using "add contact" menu and searching skype users for the Mac user. Mac (various versions OS) and Linux clients can find the Mac user. Other non-Windows platforms work as expected in every way.
Finally, I'm getting "invalid html" error posting this in Linux, Firefox browser. It's 100% plain text.

TMG SSO issue with Windows 7 clients

I have very strange problem with Forefront TMG 2010 Single Sign On feature.
SSO settings:
I'm publishing two websites (https://site1.domain.com and https://site2.domain.com) by using the same web listener with SSO enabled for *.domain.com
SSO is working as charm for Windows 8.1 clients
The issue when accessing sites from Windows 7 clients:
On the first access to any of the sites (i.e. site1), I'm getting TMG forms login form - as expected.
I login, then visit few pages of the same site (i.e. site1), and everything works as expected. I'm logged in, and I can surf.
The problem arises when I try to open the other site (i.e. site2). I'm getting TMG forms login form again! And even worse - as soon as new TMG login form opens -
I'm logged off from the first site also. So not just I must login separately for both sites - I can't be logged to both sites in the same time because as soon as I login to one site, the session with other site is terminated!
Interesting thing is that behavior is the same in any browser. I've tried with IE, Chrome and Mozilla - the problem is the same.
When external client tries to open the second site, TMG logs one interesting message:
Req ID: 0ae9f57b; Compression: client=Yes, server=No, compress rate=0% decompress rate=0% ;
FBA cookie: exists=yes, valid=no, updated=no, logged off=no, client type=private, user activity=yes
It looks that TMG finds that cookie is not valid and deletes it, terminating this way existing session with all sites.
My setup:
Array of two TMG's 2010 SP2 RU4, on Windows Server 2008 R2, all updates installed.
Published websites (site1.domain.com and site2.domain.com) are residing on two different servers (srv1 and srv2)
Websites are published over https by using SSL certificate gotten from local PKI. All clients and servers do have PKI CA in their "Trusted Root Certificates" storage. No client or server reports any certificate issue. Websites are "green"
in address bar.
I'm really confused with this behavior. Especially due to the fact that the same third-party browser (Chrome), can be used with SSO without any problem when installed on Windows 8.1, but not when installed on Windows 7!?!?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks!

Hahah! Shame on me! The problem is not related to Windows 8.1 / Windows 7. Client OS coincides with DNS server settings... To explain:
My two-server TMG array has two public IPs (each server having one) - 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2.
In order to avoid setting the same IPs for all my websites, I've decided to create one common A record, and to define all websites as CNAME records pointing to this common A record. (This way I have just one place where I should change IP if it changes.)
My common A record is defined as follows:
a.domain.com -> 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2
And websites as follows:
site1.domain.com -> a.domain.com
site2.domain.com -> a.domain.com
When multiple IPs are bound to the same host some DNS servers will round robin them, and some will not. For example, when I do nslookup on the PC with google's public DNS server (8.8.8.8) I'm getting the following result:
C:\Windows\System32>nslookup site1.domain.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: a.domain.com
Addresses: 1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
Aliases: site1.domain.com
No matter how many times I execute nslookup, I'm getting the same answer, with IP addresses in the same sequence. But when I do nslookup on the PC that uses local DNS service on the router, sequence of IP addresses changes with each subsequent call:
C:\Windows\System32>nslookup site1.domain.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: a.domain.com
Addresses: 1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
Aliases: site1.domain.com
C:\Windows\System32>nslookup site1.domain.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: a.domain.com
Addresses: 1.1.1.2
1.1.1.1
Aliases: site1.domain.com
In my case Windows 8.1 machines were using Google's public DNS server, so all of them were resolving both websites in the same way, always using the first IP gotten - 1.1.1.1. In the other words, both websites were pointing to the same TMG array member 1.1.1.1.
And SSO was working as expected.
On the other side, my Windows 7 machines were setup to dynamically get network settings from the DHCP service (the router), and they were using its DNS service (second example). So when the browser opens site1.domain.com it queries DNS for site1.domain.com,
gets two IPs, as always selects the first one (1.1.1.1), makes request to the first member of my TMG array and successfully creates session. Browser caches site1.domain.com -> 1.1.1.1, so each subsequent call goes to the same address without querying DNS
server. But when the browser opens site2.domain.com it queries DNS server again, this time getting the same IP addresses, but reordered. As always it selects the first one (1.1.1.2), and sends the request (with authentication cookie) to
the second TMG array member. The second TMG validates the cookie and doesn't recognize it, so
rejects it and deletes it, and redirects the browser to login form. Since the cookie is deleted, browser cannot access site1.domain.com (through 1.1.1.1) anymore.
Huuuhhh.
The new question: can SSO be setup with TMG arrays and DNS round robin? Is there any way to "force" array members to accept cookies distributed by other members?
I guess that I must open new question...
Sorry for my stupidity!

SL Server Permission Issues with Windows XP Clients

I'm running into some permissions issues with Snow Leopard Server. I know it's specific to SL Server because I have two Leopard servers and neither one is affected. All servers are set up the same way.
I'm using this SL server as a file server in the golden triangle approach: AD for Users, OD for Groups that supply AD User membership. I have one volume per OD group, and that group has read/write privileges to that volume via the default Server Admin read/write ACL. POSIX permissions are 770 on the top level directory, and ownership is set to the AD user who owns the volume, and the OD group the volume belongs to.
The client is XP SP3. When the client accesses a share on the SL server, their access is correctly granted and they can browse the share and read any files inside the share. They can copy files to the share from wherever. They can open, edit, and save files. However, they cannot rename or delete files within the share. They cannot rename folders, but can delete them. This affects all AD users regardless of the OD group they're in.
I have a few Windows 7 and Vista clients on the network, and these two OS's are not affected by this so the problem is limited to XP. If I create a user in OD, and auth to the sever from the XP client as that user, the problem goes away, so it's something to do with AD and SMB.
I do have a ticket in with Apple support, which was escalated to Engineering. Still waiting on that.
Things I have tried that have not worked/helped:
-Modify the ACL to Full Privileges
-Tried removing/re-adding user to OD group.
-Remove darwin_streams from vfs_objects in smb.conf
stream support = no
ea support = yes/no (tried both ways)
darwin_streams:brlm = no
-Added nt acl support = no to smb.conf
per http://bit.ly/6aYycW
-Animal sacrifice..... ??
Help?

I need to do more testing, but I think the fix is to add "acl check permissions = no" to the bottom of /etc/smb.conf:
; Site-specific parameters can be added below this comment.

acl check permissions = no

Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

Hi ,
I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
Is there any automated way to remove the cache file?
Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
CUCM version: 9.1.x
Presence : 9.1.X
Jabber : 10.5 and 10.6

Hello
On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
Network Device Enrollment Service.
Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
Enterprise Trust store for the users.
But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
Florent
EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.

Multiple Issues with Adobe Creative Cloud app.

I'm having multiple issues with the Adobe Creative Cloud app.
1. Neither Photoshop CC nor Prelude CC get past the 47% mark when installing. They constantly give me "Installation Failed" messages. When I click on "Learn More", I'm told that:
"Installation Failed
Errors during Installation.(7)
More Information"
So naturally, I click on More Information to get the following thrown at me (none of which I understand):
Exit Code: 7 Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s) ERROR: 12/01/13 13:16:06:425 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 6076 | ---------- CustomHook_Helperx64 ---- Start ---------- 12/01/13 13:16:06:426 | [ERROR] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 6076 | Cannot load function name 'CSInstallerCustomHookProc' from library C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\uninstall\{5F816B76-62F3-41C9-B651-27F49F25F50B}.data. Error 0 ERROR: System check returned with error : -4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. I installed Lightroom 5, then uninstalled it. When I went back to re-install it, the Adobe Creative Cloud app wouldn't let me. It states that my Lightroom 5 is "Up to date" and is in my "Your Apps" section, not in the "Find New Apps" section. I've double checked my Programs and Features in Control Panel, and it's not there. I cleaned my registry, and it's still there. I deleted the "opm.db" file in my OOBE folder, and restarted CC - still nothing.
I've got to say, guys. I'm not very happy with the amount of time I've spent just trying to install programs on my PC. While the plan is for this to be intuitive at some point, it's not very functional at the moment. Any help you can provide me would be amazing - if you can provide it sooner than later, I'd be over the moon.
Thanks.

I fixed it. I fixed it on my own. My journey took over a week (forty hours of back and forths, trial and error, and service!!) and included multiple calls, multiple online chats, unanswered forum posts, Twitter conversations with the Adobe Customer Service team, remote access sessions with Adobe technical teams, and finally this series of emails. In the end, I had to figure it out myself. I'm not happy - not with the time it took, and not with the level service I received based on the urgency that I made clear.
For anyone else that had this issue (or similar), here is what I did to fix it. This may seem excessive, but that's because I didn't know what else to do. Some of these steps may be redundant, or not required... but I wouldn't know because once I saw that it was working, I just kept going.
Anyway, here is the solution I came upon (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit):
1) I uninstalled every single Adobe product (including Flash Player, Acrobat Player, Air, and Digital Editions).
2) I ran the Cleaner Tool (which is not very good) and came across errors in trying to delete certain folders.
3) I restarted my computer in Safe Mode, and logged into Windows 7 under my Administrator account.
4) I manually went into every folder that contained the words "Adobe" and deleted everything. This includes my Program Data folder, my Program Files folders (both x86 and 64-bit), my AppData folders, my Roaming folders, my Temp folders - ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that contained any trace of Adobe, I deleted.
5) I ran Microsoft Disk Cleanup and Piriform CCleaner to clean my registry and temp files.
6) I restarted my computer using the normal boot process and logged into Windows as Administrator.
7) I downloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud installer.
8) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
9) I ran the Creative Cloud installer, and installed Premiere Pro.
10) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
11) I ran the Creative Cloud installer, and installed Photoshop.
12) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
13, 14, 15...) I ran the Creative Cloud installer and installed whatever programs I needed, then I IMMEDIATELY restarted my computer before installing anything else.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server.
Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors.
We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems.
If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
>>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
ipconfig /flushdns

Compatibilityy issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0

Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome

After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome. After I rebuilt the home page in 2014.3 the site is still not well. With the old software the site worked well with all the browsers and loaded incredibly. Despite Adobe's claim of a faster load with the new software it is much slower and in Chrome at times it won't load up at all.
The home page had two "Video-Animation light box galleries" by Visual pictures company. One had 12 videos, the other 3 videos. All the videos were streamed from Vimeo. There was also an Edge Animate animation in the middle of the page imported as a .oam file. the rest of the page was nothing special except using some web fonts. Again, these elements worked together well before the update.
After the update everything loads slower in all browsers and in Chrome all types of weirdness happened. Videos would play randomly, all of the audio from all the videos played as the site loaded. Videos would play in the wrong place. Instead of my animation playing a video from the galleries played in it's place instead.
I rebuilt most of the home page using a new video gallery and that helped some what but when I placed the animation.oam file in the page had new issues. To survive, I've taken the Animation out which helped but the functionality is still far from being acceptable. My boss is un my backside, other work is not getting done the stress level is through the roof because I was the one who encouraged using all these new Adobe tools (which I'm paying for personally). Now you broke it with a new update. This is not the first time I've been caught out with problems with updates. I couldn't use SpeedGrade for months following an update. ADOBE MUST VET THEIR

Sorry,

How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database with Windows Oracle client?

How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database via network with Windows Oracle client? Is it possible? When I try to do it Oracle client just hangs... If not which ones are compatible Aix or Solaris to Unix or it must be a Unix client to connect to Unix Oracle database. Thank's for any help.

Hi,
In our project we are using this type. Since in this project server in UNIX(DEC) and client is running on windows. We have created a listener which always listen requests from client and doing the according to the request.
Step1. create a request table, where u are inserting ur request.
step2. create PRO*C proram, which is listening request on the table. If there is any request, call the imp (executable). This is happening on server side.
Benifit. U can make a request from cleint and ftp the file client sit.
Are u interested in more details and code, pls send a mail to me

Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
How?
Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
Click "Apply" and "OK".
Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
Hope I helped!
