Possible to use the UDI Wizard for standalone USMT Online Restore?
I'm looking for a solution for a specific scenario. We are looking to use UDI for a replace scenario where we will use a UDI task sequence to backup USMT data to a USB drive on the old PC and turn around and restore that data on a new PC already
provisioned and configured computer.
My goal is use UDI task sequences but it appears that out of the box UDI task sequences only allow for restoration of user data during a standard replace Operating System Deployment task sequence and not a stand alone USMT restore data only task sequence.
Any ideas if this is possible to create a UDI driven USMT restore data only task sequence?

Hi,
Please try the steps below to see if it helps:
1. Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Name desktop-experience -Remove
2. Mount-WindowsImage -path c:\mount\ -Index 4 -ImagePath D:\sources\install.wim –ReadOnly
3. Add-WindowsFeature -Name desktop-experience -Source C:\mount\Windows\WinSxS
4. Install-WindowsFeature –name desktop-experience
It seems that the components needed to add the Desktop Experience feature back to the build are located in the SXS (side by side) folder of the install media and can be re-added using the DISM tool.
Please can you try with the following command and let me know if this resolves the issue in your environment
- dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:desktopexperience /source:D:\sources\sxs /limitaccess
You could also refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:

In my family we have 3IPhones 4S, one IPhone5, one IPad3, one IPadMini and two IPad 4. Is it possible to use the same energieadapter for all of those ?
Yes but the iPhone chargers will struggle to charge the iPads ,they need more power than the iPhone chargers produce and with an iPad will charge VERY slowly
The iPad chargers whether 10w or 12 will happily charge all your devices and Apple confirms the compatibility on the relevant web page. -

Yes. Technically there will not be any conflict as long as the private addresses used by the 2 clusters do not collide, and provided that the switch's port capacity and bandwidth will not be exceeded.
Your NA (netadmin) can also configure the switch to separate the 2 Interconnects from one another (called partitioning when using Infiniband) - if the switch supports such features.
A major consideration is not to make the switch, public. That typically cause a range of problems and can have a serious impact on an Interconnect. But using 2 private networks on the same infrastructure should not have the same problems - if configured and implemented correctly. -
I have been trying to figure this one out for a couple of days. I found the CUDA mac drivers on NVIDIA's website and installed them. I have been working in Blender. After the driver install I can now switch between CPU and GPU processing, Great. It works, but I am not experiencing decreased render times like I had read about or expected. It's about the same. While using the GPU for rendering, my OS is choppy, leading me to wonder if there is a way to use the NVIDIA just for computing power?
Any help would be grand.
ThanksNo.

Possible to use the MBP display for use with XBOX 360 through DVI port?
Hi everyone, I know that the topic sounds ludicrous to probably a lot of you. After all, how dare a Mac user use a Microsoft machine right ;)? Well, truth be told, I like the 360 and that's the only MS product I prefer to use.
Anyway, I'm going to be picking up my own 360 within the next few days and am currently deciding whether to also buy a new HDTV with the purchase or if I can wait. I'm going to be buying a new TV eventually but I was hoping to put off the purchase for a while since I remembered that the 360 can hook up to monitors through VGA. So what I want to know is whether the DVI port on my MBP is output only or will it accept input signals? Also, if it is possible to hook up my 360 through the DVI port, is there an easy way to attach the DVI-VGA adapter to the 360 seeing? By this I mean, the adapter is only about three inches or so and it would be pretty difficult to attach both machines to each other, so I was wondering if there might be a female-female VGA adapter bridge or some easy method of doing this.
Thank you all for your help in advance.Outsider,
Check out this link and enjoy the 360 on your MBP!

I want to perform bidirectional i/o using a pci-6534.The problem is that i need to use the same lines for i/p and o/p. is that possible? And if it is how an i doing this?
Hi I Pant,
The idea that crossed my mind was to tie each of the lines coming from/going to "your device" to two of the DIO lines. Configure one these two ports as input, the other as output.
When you want to read the state of the line, read from the line configured as input. Similarly, use the other port when it is time to write.
Provided "your device" uses tri-state drivers/receivers, or can be used in a "wired-OR" configuration, this may work.
What is "your device"?

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7
Broadly speaking I want some sort of network storage( wireless or through my existing wifi router) that I can access files for both my windows PC and Macbook and also to access files to my iPad/ iPhone. Some sort of backup and sychronisation so that I can access certain files remotely.
Buy a real NAS.. synology or QNAP are the standard... although companies like Netgear and Western Digital and Seagate make them as well.
There is no problem sharing between Mac and PC now.. you do not even need a NAS to do that.. you simply share the hard disk directly. Mac talk SMB.. everything talks SMB nowadays.. so it is easy.
ipad and iphone are not designed to use NAS.. they are designed to backup only to the cloud or itunes.. but you can load an app like file browser if you want.
http://www.stratospherix.com/products/filebrowser/
Remote access to the Apple TC is somewhere between difficult, to impossible from a PC.. Apple use BTMM and iCloud but the service is not offered to PC.
A real NAS will offer HTTPS or SFTP or several other methods.. that both Mac and PC can use.
You simply plug it into the current wireless router.. it is a network device and assessable over the network. It is not necessary to buy another router.. in fact that is a waste. -
the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?
Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared. -
Is it possible to use the migration assistant to transfer only some documents and data? For example, I was to transfer my music, but not my word documents. There doesn't seem to be any options to customise what you are transferring - its all or nothing

Yes, that's why I recommend one have more than TimeMachine as a backup because if certain files or folders are corrupted on the TM drive, your not logging into your migrated user account or not be able to transfer it what so ever.
Then it's a REAL PAIN and costs $99 to bit read the TM drive to get the files out, then it's mess to go through and sort all the empty placeholders from the real files as TM doesn't save duplicates in each state, just uses the previous state's copy if there are no changes.
If you create the same named user account on the new machine, and simply transfer files via a USB thumb drive and place say music contents into the Music folder, then it will work too.
Look into making clones of your boot drive, the benefit here is it's bootable, you can access the drive directly to pick and choose files, run the computer just like before etc.

Creating a test using the form wizard
I need to create a multipart test that will be used for editors applying for jobs. Part of the test will be a multiple choice spelling test, with 20 questions. I created the file in Word and am trying to use the form wizard to create check box fields. It looks like this:
1.
initative
intiative
initiative
enitiative
I want the blanks to the left of each word to be a check box field or a radio button.
When I created the pdf form and saved it, I found that when I checked any one of the boxes, all four check box fields were automatically filled in. I know I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure out what.
Do these forms have to be created in one session? Or can I save the form, close it and then contune editing the form fields later?
I am using Acrobat Pro 9.5
Any advice anyone can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks.
dgI have gotten the hang of creating check boxes and radio buttons so that they behave the way I need them to behave. Thanks for the help on that.
I create these tests 2X per year and each test is to be used at least 500 times.
Here's my next apparent dilemma: I am creating this test in Acrobat Pro 9.5. The test takers are in three different cities in India. They use Reader X.
When I "distributed" a test of the only section I have completed to myself I discovered all of the distribution mechanisms (saving to a network folder, distributing via email, etc.). All of these options are far too complicated for my users.
Isn't there a way to create a form in Pro 9.5 that can just be saved with Reader X enabled so that anyone who opens the file in Reader X can just "save as" and have their filled-in data saved? I must emphasize that the saving process must be as simple as possible.
I need to keep this as simple as possible because I distribute these tests once and they are used over and over and the completed tests are collected by HR people who are not tech savvy at all. They are emailed to me from the three diffferent locations.
Previously I used Word but frankly there were two many ways people could cheat: That's why I want to switch to Acrobat forms. But this is looking like it's not going to work.
Perhaps I am missing something?

Creating a custom link using the Action Wizard
Hi everyone! I hope someone can help me.
I would like to create an action, using the Action Wizard, to make custom links. I work with extremely large PDF documents at a major airline. I am in charge of watermarking and linking all support manuals for the airplanes. We have a custom watermark that we apply to particular pages, and also link them to updated pages on our own private server. I think the linking process could be made faster with a custom action.
Currently I use this code:
app.launchURL("CODE", true)
The "code" is the web address of the document online. This works fine, however, I still have to click the link button, reposition the link, and edit the code for the particular page. Then I have to do that hundreds of times a week.
I'd like a link action, where I can click one button and the link is perfectly drawn and placed in the exact location I require (this never changes; The link is always the same size and in the same location). I'd like this to work the same as my custom watermark action works. With my watermark action, I simply specified where the watermark went on the page, what type size, color, etc. using javascript. I'm hoping I can do the same thing with a link; Simply state what diminsions the link box needs to be and where it's located on the page.
If this is possible, I'd be able to do both in one click; Apply my watermark with a link box already drawn on top of it. Then all I'd need to do is edit the link with the web address of the file I'm linking to.
I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!
Matthew~Okay, I'm really close to what I want. If you could help me with this one little thing, I'll be golden.
My watermark is text that says "See Supplemental Information". I'm using a script that finds words and draws a link around them. That's perfect for me, except I need to search for the entire phrase "See Supplemental Information".
Here is my code:
/* LINKING */
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
for (var i=3; i<numWords; )
var ckWord = this.getPageNthWord(p, i, true);
if ( ckWord == "See Supplemental Information")
var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads(p, i);
// Convert quads in default user space to rotated
// User space used by Links.
m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
mInv = m.invert()
r = mInv.transform(q)
r=r.toString()
r = r.split(",");
l = addLink(p, [r[4], r[5], r[2], r[3]]);
l.borderColor = color.red;
l.borderWidth = 1;
l.setAction("app.launchURL('https://website.com', true)");
The code works if I only search for one word, but when I try to search for a phrase, it doesn't do anything. Is there a way to search for an entire phrase like what I need?
Thanks for all your help.

Why am I forced to format the hard drive in the UDI wizard?
We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 + MDT 2012 Update 1.
I am trying to get a UDI task sequence going for our server admins. The problem is that they want to be able to create their own partitions and choose which partition to apply the OS. So before the UDI wizard runs we can create our own partitions using
DISKPART, but then on the Volume page for the UDI wizard, we are forced to check the box labeled 'Partition and format disk 0.'
This will wipe out our custom partitions. How can UDI just allow me to proceed with my own partitions and apply the OS to the partition I chose in the wizard and leave the rest of the disk alone?You can modify it by UDI Wizard Designer. I am now out of office. If you cannot achieve it, let me know. I will help you out when get my hands on my lab.
