PDFs wont from mapped drives. Protected Mode is not enabled

I have users who cannot open a PDF file from a mapped drive but can open the same file from DFS Explorer Window. We are running Windows 7 Enterprise, Protected Mode is disabled. Users are getting the error there was an error opening this document. The device is not ready.

I had the same issue as above with version 10.1.2.
I also found that if the entire file address was typed into explorer (E.g. \\server\folder\folder\file.pdf) it would work file, but not if you mapped the shared drive it would fail (E.g. R:\folder\file.pdf) with the same error as above.
I down graded to adobe reader 10.1.1 and that fixed the problem and it worked fine.
Thanks
Dean

How to add an image from mapped drives?

Hi all,
Currently I've a BSP service running some picture are stored within the service directory (using import MIME) in the WEBAS like ...
http://webhost/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zris/GFX/logo.gif
but now how can I display in the same service pictures taken from a mapped drive ? (ie: l:\pictures\logo.gif) without importing them into the WEBAS service?
Is there a possibility to create a virtual directory in the service mapped to the l:\pictures or something like that?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Erik

Hi all thanks for your answers,
<img src="file://c/images/pictureOfTheDay.JPG">
that's what I was using during my test, but the thing is that it need to have the drive mapped locally on the computer running the browser. Now I just want to map those drives on the WAS.
about installing apache on the file server, well I'm in a big corporate ... so you know ... security, policies, dmz etc.. etc...
I will check out the parameter.

Reports server Cannot read files from mapped drive

Hi,
Am trying to run a report from a network mapped drive under WinNT 4.0 through report server.
I get "REP-0110 Error opening or reading file" error message. After looking up the help on error, I find:
1. The file being accessed does exist
2. The login account has full privileges
with the file/directory/drive in question.
If the report to be run is on a local drive,
everything is fine.
Can anyone help me asap.
Thank you
Sundar

hello,
there are multiple things to keep in mind :
1) if you are using a mapped drive :
mapped drives are on a per-user-basis. the reports-server-service is running as a system-service by default and will not have the same mapped drives as the logged on user. in fact it fill have NO drives mapped.
what you could do is to use the UNC-path like \\servername\share\filename to adress the file
2) problems with UNC
there are some known problems using UNC to access files on remote machines in some versions of reports. pls check with oracle support services in case this causes problems.

How to prevent a rdp user from mapping drives on the server ?

Hi,
User A from Domain A (using Win7 pro) is able to rdp to Server Z (Windows Server 2008) which is in Domain Z and is able to map drive.
My question is : How do I prevent User A from mapping any drive in Server Z ?
Please advise. TIA !

Hi,
if a user has access to the other share there is no way to prevent that user from mapping a drive.
However, you can remove the "map Network drive" functionality via policy, please see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms812045.aspx
That does not prevent users from mapping their drive manually using the "net use ..." command from a shell. While it is possible to restrict running of the net command, I do not recommend that (see
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b5012142-cfe9-4b24-99b9-d7ff3b84f0f4/what-security-policy-blocks-use-of-the-net-command-for-nonadmin-users?forum=winserverGP).
( What you may consider when having Shares cross-forest, you can remove that authorized users permission from the share replacing it by DOMAIN\Domain users groups, etc. So access to the share is limited instead of using a share that a user has access to.
Please Keep in mind that even when you remove the Network drives a user can still Access the resource via UNC. )

Martin

How do I open pdf file from web? Opening pdf docs from hard drive works fine.

Hello,
I am unable to open pdf files from the web. Documents on my hard drive open fine. My computer gives me 2 error messages when I try to open web-based documents. Thanks.

Why did you post so many informations about operating system, web browser, Adobe Reader version, and the error messages?

Batch file from java class fails to copy from mapped drive

I've some problem for a bacth file which XCOPY several files from folder to folder. If the source folder is a mapped network drive and I run the batch it works.
But it fails with this error "Invalid drive specification" if I run it from within the java class. Everything is correct from the BATCH point of view as it works when I run it directly.
I use Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);where command is: "cmd /c C:\\just_for_test.bat".
The batch file is:
XCOPY /E G:\tmp\CD0005_Multi\*.* C:\Temp
RD /S /Q G:\tmp\CD0005_Multi
EXIT
where G: is the mapped drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I used a batch-file to copy the specified files that looked like this in the end:
net use s: \\192.168.200.7\e$ <passw> /USER:administrator
s:
COPY "S:\Temp\xxx.txt" "C:\Temp\xxx.txt"
c:
net use s: /deleteWhat happens is that i make a new mapped-connection to the harddrive
and ending it after the copying-process is finished... Simple thingie.
But, if you still want to copy the files through your program, do this:
net use s: \\192.168.200.7\e$ <passw> /USER:administrator
s:
java myProgram
c:
net use s: /delete

Mapping drive using GPO does not obey to Item-level targeting

Dear all,
We are mapping drive using Item-level targeting based on security group (User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Drive Maps) with the following settings:
Action: Replace
Run in logged-on user's security context: <Checked>
Item-level targeting: <Checked>
So if user is member of Group_X then he/she will have drive X mapped on his computer.
Problem now is that (even if reconnect is unchecked), drive will stay mapped when we remove a user from this group.
Is this the normal behavior ? did I missed something ?
or even worst, imho, should I add a new drive properties which would say to delete the drive if user does not belong to the relevant group ?
-> double targeting query for a single drive
-> what's the point of Replace / Reconnect then ?
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
/behd
[EDIT: Forgot to specify Win2008R2 AD, Win7 Pro clients but doubt that it'll be of any interest for this case]

Drive mapping should not remain after you remove the user from the group.
What I suspect is, that at first, the "reconnect" was checked then the user got the policy and tattooed the reconnect value. after that it doesn't matter that "reconnect" was removed.
Try the following:
Logon with test user, make sure no drive mapping exist (disconnect if necessary).
Create a new policy with drive map - make sure reconnect is not checked, and apply it for the test user.
Make sure no other drive mapping policy exist for that user.
Login with the test user, make sure drive was mapped.
Log off that user, remove it from the group, wait for AD replication and log on again (sometimes another log off \ log on required).
Please take a moment to Vote as Helpful and/or Mark as Answer where applicable. Thanks.

Portal Work Protect mode is not working properly after upgrade to NW 7.4

The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data")
When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup.
Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window.
This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
Please let me know if anyone have faced this issue before or have an resolution.
Thank you.

Hi Sundar & Rakesh
I've followed Sundar's request in the previous thread we worked on together to provide further assistance here:
** Scenario Summary **
The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data") When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup. Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window. This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
Ok the first point of reference and analysis here is to check and review: Workprotect mode via the following navigation path:
System Admin-> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Under one of the services: Work protect mode property.
Now in terms of this popup kindly ensure the configurations are setup accordingly as per the following document:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2513
What is the setting of WDPortalWorkProtectMode.setApplicationDirty ?
Work Protect Mode

Lastly have you attempted to change the property value and restarting the service ?
Restart the config by right clicking on com.sap.portal.epcf.loader. Click Administrate ->restart
Kindly update me as per your findings.

My Internet protection mode box not on bottom of my browser like it use to be.

Stop using internet explore and downloaded firefox, When i last up dated and started to use themes my internet protection mode box that read your protected is not on my bottom right hand corner anymore why.

Hi there. That feature was provided by an add-on, because the original Firefox never had that feature. If you look through the list of add-ons, you'll probably see that one of them was disabled, because it is not compatible with Firefox 14.0.1. You can contact the add-on author to ask, if there will be an update available for it.

AVC HD from Panasonic Lumix movie mode does not play on the iPad. Motion JPEG mode does play the videos, however there is no sound. Any suggestions?

AVC HD movie mode from a Panasonic Lumix camera will not play on the iPad, the format in the camera is not compatible. However, Motion JPEG mode in the camera will play the video on the iPad but there is no sound. Any suggestions?

Ok, I was an old fool, there is indeed a setting on the Lumix LX5 camera which seems to allows both audio and video, although not AVC HD, the camera must be set to Motion JPEG and subsequently NOT to PICT Bridge, rather to PC for the output. Anyone who decides to purchase a Panasonic Lumix should be aware of this. The iPad 2 will display Lumix perfectly in 720p which is enough for the old fool. The Sony NEX5N at twice the cost will do 1080p, but on the iPad and our TV the difference I suspect will not be noticeable.

Windows XP Mode - Could not enable integration features

Hello! Let me start off with saying that I'm not very computer savvy, so please be gentle! :)
So here my problem. I have scoured forums all morning looking for a solution and have tried many things and nothing has worked yet. I have Windows 7 Pro. I use the Windows VM to run in XP mode so my small business programs will
operate correctly. This morning VM would not open. I click to open Windows VM, it take unusually long to attempt to open. After 5 or so minutes error message - Could not enable integration features with details stating . It gives me
an option to retry or continue. When I hit retry, it does so but the ending result is the same error message. When I click continue it states the operation has failed - the VM is not running.
What I HAVE tried-
-Reboot
-Clicked start>windows virtual pc>open windows virtual pc>right click settings
- From this point I have tried to shut down from the close option as well as uncheck enable integration features at start up. Status is in Hibernation and has not changed.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Bob, I have read as much as I can find on this problem (Enabling Integration Features and having it remain enabled), and your responses are the most straight forward, complete and seem to have helped a number of others. So, I'm adding to this discussion,
instead of starting a new discussion, so that I can get YOUR response.
I am running Windows 7 Professional on a Dell Precision M6500 laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor and 8 Gb of memory. When I first setup the laptop I installed Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode, after downloading from the Microsoft.com
website. While the installation went without an error, getting to use it was a major, and long problem. I have one (very) old planner software app that I've been using since the mid 1980s. Being somewhat stubborn, I refused to change to a newer
app. So, I installed the app under XP Mode (it doesn't run under Windows 7) and it worked fine. I then tried to setup the printer and the Guest PCs drives (some USB). I followed the Microsoft instructions and suggestions I found in forums.
I finally gave up and called and paid for Microsoft tech support. Many weeks and we finally got it working - was able to print to my wireless printer from XP Mode and was able to backup my data to the Host PCs USB drives (I make three copies of the data
on a daily basis, so I actually have 21 copies of the data after a week). When we got it working I never had a problem with Enabling Integration Features, before it would disable Integration Features after I enabled them, repeatedly. Then a Windows
7 upgrade hung - 8 hours and the PC hadn't shut down. I powered off the PC and then powered back up. I got a blue screen error about CPU being too hot and the PC shut down. It was no hotter than usual. Powered up again and all seemed fine, until
I went to start XP Mode and my planner. XP Mode was trashed, wouldn't start. Tried to reinstall and still had the same problem. So, another call to Microsoft Tech support and another fee. Interestingly, the fellow that I worked with this
time as a level higher and knew the first tech I worked with. A few days and XP Mode was back running and the environment was actually as it had been when the PC crashed (the VHD file was still there and had my original environment - settings, programs,
printer and drive mappings - all in place, this file is in the same location as the VSV file).
Long winded background to my current, repeated problem. Integration Features will no longer stay enabled. While I don't recall a "crash" or "hung" PC, my notes are all in that planner app in XP Mode and I can't get to it. So,
I uninstalled VPC and XPM and reinstalled from scratch. Reinstalled my planner app, configured and tested my printer and host drives (didn't map them, just access them from My Computer). Suddenly (as I said, I can't recall anything going wrong to trigger
the repeat of this problem) Integration Features will not enable. I've deleted the VSV file and the problem still exists. Just "Shutdown" XP Mode and 50 Windows XP updates were installed. Then installed 48 updates. It worked for one afternoon and
evening. Booting the laptop this morning and Integration Features again is unstable. One more Windows update was installed. Then I followed your suggested steps:
Delete the" Windows XP Mode.vsv" file in the folder
C:\users\[your user name]\appdata\microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines.
That should then allow XP Mode to start correctly.
Have you uninstalled, rebooted XP, and reinstalled the Integration Components? All of this occurs in XP Mode not on Win7.
1. Uninstall the Integration Components in XP Mode from Add/remove programs
2. Reboot XP Mode
3. Reinstall the Integration Components in XP Mode from WVPC menu.
The laptop is also in the same Workgroup as the Host PC and all the other PCs on my LAN.
Any suggestions?
Where can I find the following folders from XP Mode on the Host PC:
C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Documents
C:\Documents and Settings\XPMUser\My Documents
I created folders in both with the backed up data and programs from my planner app and would like to have access to them from the Host PC.
I'm just about at the point of abandoning XP Mode and looking for an alternative Virtual Machine app, just using Outlook, or getting the Outlook app from the original software provider of my planner app. All of these options are less
than ideal, but Microsoft's XP Mode has also become less than ideal.
TIA

0xc0000005 access violation running app from mapped drive but no problem from UNC or local

I have an application (.exe - 32 bit) that is giving the access violation error when run from a mapped (net use) drive on a shared folder.   NO error if I run it using the FULL UNC path name and NO error if I copy it to my local drive and run it.
The error is below.   I have run scans for virus and malware, etc. and come up with nothing. I have run diagnostics on my memory and nothing is wrong with the hardware. Also, if I create a new user profile, the app will run fine under
that profile - initially.   The problem seems to come up after I install something new.  I know the new software is not infected (VS 2013) and the software installed before the new profile test was not the same software.
I didn't give all the info below because it's legacy software few would know about and I do NOT have the source code.   It is 32 bit and has worked fine for 15 years or more - without this problem.    Thanks in advance for any help
you can provide.
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

Hi Johnny，
We wonder if you get this error on all PCs or only on your Windows 7 PCs.
If your application happens to hit a page of memory that is not present, a standard page fault will trigger, telling Windows it needs to fill that page. If the network happens to be down at that moment, Windows will be unable to satisfy the page-fault. So
Windows throws an EXCEPTION_IN_PAGE_ERROR (0xC0000005). Since you mentioned that it works under new user profile initially and already tested your memory, the most typical causes for the ‘0xC0000005: Access Violation’ error are: corrupt registry, malware,
updated software/device driver.
Check your issue with malware, VS 2013 and firewall closed under new account.
If this issue happened recently, you could simply restore your system to earlier point then check your issue.
Check your issue under clean boot and safe mode with network (using new account)

Display a PDF file from local drive

Hi,
I would like to display a pdf file that is actually stored on the portal server hard drive.
What I have tried to do is link an iFrame element to the url of the file: "D:
MyFolder
myFile.pdf"
But it doesn't work. I have the following error when trying to do that:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.InvalidUrlRuntimeException: Invalid URL=D:/MyFolder/myFile.pdf
Does this means that iFrame can only display http URLs ? What are the other ways to easily display pdf files ?? I'am stuck with that problem and can't find any other solution.
I also tried with "servletResponse.getOutputStream().write(fileByteContent);" but the problem is that I am not in a PAR application, and I don't have the servletResponse element and don't know how to get it.
Thanks for your help.

Problems opening a pdf file from a URL protected by OAM with M.Explorer

Hello,
we have protected a web portal with OAM. When we access a URL which is a pdf file with Mozilla Firefox, the file is retrieved and opened correctly, but when we try to open it using Microsoft Explorer it won't open. If we disable OAM the pdf is opened without problems. We set Microsoft Explorer security level to the lowest possible value but the problem persists.
Can anyone give us a hand to solve this issue?
Thank you

Hi Francisco,
In the AccessGate screen for the WebGate, if you have the CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader set to "no-cache", try setting them to "public" (or blank), restart the web server, and see if that resolves the issue.

Colin
