Powershell MA (Microsoft) missing documentation

The Windows PowerShell Connector for FIM 2010 R2 Technical Reference webpage (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn640417(v=ws.10).aspx) says:
To simplify the creation of Schema, the FIMPowerShellConnectorModule Windows PowerShell Module provided in Appendix A includes the following cmdlets:
New-FIMPSConnectorSchema
New-FIMPSConnectorSchemaType
Add-FIMPSConnectorSchemaAttribute
But I can't find "Appendix A" (or any other appendix) anywhere.
Also, I've installed the MSI package, and I see the "Powershell (Microsoft)" MA type in the dropdown, but when I try to create one, I get an error that the schema can't be loaded because the anchor value can't be a reference or Boolean and that
a multivalue attribute can't be a Boolean. But I've defined no anchor (or any other attributes!).
The above error has been reported in a number of places, but no one has posted an explanation or a solution.
Help? Please?

Agreed, same problems. I'm wondering if it's worth cutting over from Soren's powershell MA that's I've been using for almost a year now.
MICROSOFT - fix your documentation please. Neither sample example is usable as a walk-through at this point.

Where is the missing documentation?

Hi there,
Does anyone know where is the missing documentation located for JDBC of Oracle 7.3.4? The correct url should be http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_doc.htm, but I couldnt see it.
Thanks

What happens when you click on the "Documentation" link on the left of this page???????

Missing Documentation for error in SQL.

Hi,
In my application when i try to connect to my .mdf file I got the below error. When I checked for documentation on this error @
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645603(v=sql.100).aspx
I couldn't find the same in the list.
Error Details : "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow
remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
Is this missed to document? Can you please confirm.
Please help me in finding documentation on this error.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in SQL Server Forum.
“SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified” is a common error message when connecting to a SQL Server.
Is it a local instance or remote instance? Default instance or Named instance? What’s the SQL Server version and edition?
The possible cause of this issue could be SQL Server Database Engine is not running, when the server name was typed incorrectly, or when there are network problems or firewalls.
Please check the following suggestions for troubleshooting this issue:
1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Check the SQL Server error log. View the SQL Server error log by using SQL Server Management Studio or any text editor. By default, the error log is located at Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.n\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG
and ERRORLOG.n files.
Here is the document regarding how to troubleshoot the error message.

SPP 4.4 on DB2 connection problems and missing documentation

HI all,
i'm trying to install a SPP server using DB2 version 9.7.4 but i'm having a lot of connection problems.
It seems that we are missing some "addendum documentation" on this kind of cofiguration.
Anyone has this kind of doc?
Thx
Enrico

Hi Enrico,
Have you tried the ANCILE Product Support Center at http://products.ancile.com?
Please read through and answer the following questions, as well as being informative to me they may also point you in direction to location of this problem.
May I know the RWD/OS/DB version?
Are the server/client located in different location?
Do you have connection problem between server and client?
Have you tried to restart the related service and test again?
Do you have the same problem before or it just happend recently?
Does the problem happen only on some client machine?
Does the problem happen only for some document?
Can you please do the following:
1. Start uPerform Client software.
2. On the problem computer, go to Tools > Options in uPerform Client
3. In the #General# section, ensure that the Logging levels (Log and
Publishing) are set to #Debug# by using the drop-down option:
4. IMPORTANT: Recreate the steps that lead to the issue with your
uPerform document.
5. To create the Sysinfo log file, Select Help > About
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,

Missing documentation

recently got a asus u46e-bal6 with a i7 sandy-bridge processor from best buy (great machine at a good price) ...
said processor has some decent security hooks in the silicon and i wanted to register said machine with LoJaack. they require a security code (that i assume is tied to the physical chip hardware) on the "included post card" that is of course missing from my packaging. so far all staff at point of purchase (local best buy) are clueless about matter, as are any contacts at asus.
* anyone know of a utility to pull this code out of the security section of this processor
* any idea how to get a replacement card with thsi security code?
* any one have similar situation w/resolutions
on the intel site, it appears that best buy is a alternate security provider and since best buy configured and sold the machine they should be able to provide help on matter
(note: system was backed up along with the hidden recovery partition prior to being bricked and reconfigured to match work requirements - win7 ultimate, win8 developers, ubuntu & redhat linux) so if solution is on origional configuration somewhere amind the bloat-ware, it is accessable with a bit of work)
thanks

Hi Paul,
Apologies for the delayed response.
The documentation pages on OTN became the responsibility of Manufacturing and Distribution (my group) in January 2003. During this transition, the 'docs' directory to which the link in the Security Guide points is no longer available.
The current documentation directory "documentation" was constructed to include all doc previously on the Docs directory, so it would appear that this link probably never worked.
I did a search on OTN for the white paper, however it does not appear to be anywhere else on the site.
I have forwarded you query to individuals in OTN and will respond if I have any further details.
Regards,
Les

Missing Documentation for kernel26/laptop_mode.txt

Since the kernel26 package is stripped of all documentation, I can't get the laptop_mode script for 2.6.7. Do you compile your own kernel? Could you post the laptop_mode.txt on this thread please?

How to conserve battery power using laptop-mode
Document Author: Bart Samwel (bart at samwel.tk)
Date created: January 2, 2004
Last modified: April 3, 2004
Introduction
Laptopmode is used to minimize the time that the hard disk needs to be spun up,
to conserve battery power on laptops. It has been reported to cause significant
power savings.
Contents
* Introduction
* The short story
* Caveats
* The details
* Tips & Tricks
* Control script
* ACPI integration
* Monitoring tool
The short story
To use laptop mode, you don't need to set any kernel configuration options
or anything. You simply need to run the laptop_mode control script (which
is included in this document) as follows:
# laptop_mode start
Then set your harddisk spindown time to a relatively low value with hdparm:
hdparm -S 4 /dev/hda
The value -S 4 means 20 seconds idle time before spindown. Your harddisk will
now only spin up when a disk cache miss occurs, or at least once every 10
minutes to write back any pending changes.
To stop laptop_mode, run "laptop_mode stop".
Caveats
* The downside of laptop mode is that you have a chance of losing up
to 10 minutes of work. If you cannot afford this, don't use it! It's
wise to turn OFF laptop mode when you're almost out of battery --
although this will make the battery run out faster, at least you'll
lose less work when it actually runs out. I'm still looking for someone
to submit instructions on how to turn off laptop mode when battery is low,
e.g., using ACPI events. I don't have a laptop myself, so if you do and
you care to contribute such instructions, please do.
* Most desktop hard drives have a very limited lifetime measured in spindown
cycles, typically about 50.000 times (it's usually listed on the spec sheet).
Check your drive's rating, and don't wear down your drive's lifetime if you
don't need to.
* If you mount some of your ext3/reiserfs filesystems with the -n option, then
the control script will not be able to remount them correctly. You must set
DO_REMOUNTS=0 in the control script, otherwise it will remount them with the
wrong options -- or it will fail because it cannot write to /etc/mtab.
* If you have your filesystems listed as type "auto" in fstab, like I did, then
the control script will not recognize them as filesystems that need remounting.
* It has been reported that some versions of the mutt mail client use file access
times to determine whether a folder contains new mail. If you use mutt and
experience this, you must disable the noatime remounting in the control script
by setting DO_REMOUNT_NOATIME=0.
The details
Laptop-mode is controlled by the flag /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode. This flag is
present for all kernels that have the laptop mode patch, regardless of any
configuration options. When the flag is set, any physical disk read operation
(that might have caused the hard disk to spin up) causes Linux to flush all dirty
blocks. The result of this is that after a disk has spun down, it will not be spun
up anymore to write dirty blocks, because those blocks had already been written
immediately after the most recent read operation.
To increase the effectiveness of the laptop_mode strategy, the laptop_mode
control script increases dirty_expire_centisecs and dirty_writeback_centisecs in
/proc/sys/vm to about 10 minutes (by default), which means that pages that are
dirtied are not forced to be written to disk as often. The control script also
changes the dirty background ratio, so that background writeback of dirty pages
is not done anymore. Combined with a higher commit value (also 10 minutes) for
ext3 or ReiserFS filesystems (also done automatically by the control script),
this results in concentration of disk activity in a small time interval which
occurs only once every 10 minutes, or whenever the disk is forced to spin up by
a cache miss. The disk can then be spun down in the periods of inactivity.
If you want to find out which process caused the disk to spin up, you can
gather information by setting the flag /proc/sys/vm/block_dump. When this flag
is set, Linux reports all disk read and write operations that take place, and
all block dirtyings done to files. This makes it possible to debug why a disk
needs to spin up, and to increase battery life even more. The output of
block_dump is written to the kernel output, and it can be retrieved using
"dmesg". When you use block_dump, you may want to turn off klogd, otherwise
the output of block_dump will be logged, causing disk activity that is not
normally there.
If 10 minutes is too much or too little downtime for you, you can configure
this downtime as follows. In the control script, set the MAX_AGE value to the
maximum number of seconds of disk downtime that you would like. You should
then set your filesystem's commit interval to the same value. The dirty ratio
is also configurable from the control script.
If you don't like the idea of the control script remounting your filesystems
for you, you can change DO_REMOUNTS to 0 in the script.
Thanks to Kiko Piris, the control script can be used to enable laptop mode on
both the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 series.
Tips & Tricks
* Bartek Kania reports getting up to 50 minutes of extra battery life (on top
of his regular 3 to 3.5 hours) using very aggressive power management (hdparm
-B1) and a spindown time of 5 seconds (hdparm -S1).
* You can spin down the disk while playing MP3, by setting the disk readahead
to 8MB (hdparm -a 16384). Effectively, the disk will read a complete MP3 at
once, and will then spin down while the MP3 is playing. (Thanks to Bartek
Kania.)
* Drew Scott Daniels observed: "I don't know why, but when I decrease the number
of colours that my display uses it consumes less battery power. I've seen
this on powerbooks too. I hope that this is a piece of information that
might be useful to the Laptop Mode patch or it's users."
* One thing which will cause disks to spin up is not-present application
and dynamic library text pages. The kernel will load program text off disk
on-demand, so each time you invoke an application feature for the first
time, the kernel needs to spin the disk up to go and fetch that part of the
application.
So it is useful to increase the disk readahead parameter greatly, so that
the kernel will pull all of the executable's pages into memory on the first
pagefault.
The supplied script does this.
* In syslog.conf, you can prefix entries with a dash ``-'' to omit syncing the
file after every logging. When you're using laptop-mode and your disk doesn't
spin down, this is a likely culprit.
* Richard Atterer observed that laptop mode does not work well with noflushd
(http://noflushd.sourceforge.net/), it seems that noflushd prevents laptop-mode
from doing its thing.

Mysteriously missing documentation netweaver 2004

Hi
I have a legacy sap system (nw2004, aix 5.2, oracle 9.2, Tivoli backups) and we've recently come to the conclusion that we'd be buggered if we had to restore it from backup as no-one here has any experience of it. So we're setting up a learning server to do a similar SAP installation on to so we can put some pretend data in it, back it up to tivoli, destroy the data and restore)
should be simple? unforutnately the master guide constantly refers to "installation guide - SAP Web Application Server ABAP on AIX: Oracle" which we must download to see how to do the install. but on the NW2004 installation guide page this document does not exist and neither does anything like it.
does anyone know if there are archived copies available somewhere or if it's called something else these days. As a humble oracle DBA I find SAP stuff inpenertrable enough as it is without them hiding the documentation!
help! don't make me put a call in - they get annoyed when I put a call in about something that's not actually a bug

Hi Sarah,
It seems there is such guide; try the following:
1. Go to [https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/nw04installation]
2. In the "SAP Web AS" node near the bottom of the page, choose the "SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 and Related Documentation" link.
3. Now that you are on the right page for installation guides, choose "Oracle" in step 1, and then the AIX guide you need.
Hope this helps,
Rosen

FIM Object Visualizer for Synchronization Service

Does this tool work if all we are running is the Synchronization Service? It appears that it looks for the FIM Portal:
$uri = "http://" + $args[0] + ":5725/resourcemanagementservice"
I need to be able to extract my IAF and EAF settings. There used to be a set of utilities for MIIS/ILM, but I can't find them on the web now and lost my copy of them when I migrated to FIM.
Thanks.

That might help except that none of the download links work:
"The Archive Gallery has been retired."
When did MS start getting so sloppy about this stuff? They use to have one of the best support sites in the business, but it is really falling apart...
I posted a comment (
Powershell MA (Microsoft) missing documentation) in July that the documentation for the PowerShell MA (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/23647.windows-powershell-connector-for-fim-2010-r2-sample-connector-collection.aspx)
was incomplete; it is like no one cares.

Links Pallet Missing. Adobe Help Line baffled.

A day killed on the Adobe Help Line and no hope in sight. The Links Pallet is AWOL and Adobe tech support can't find it.
Originally the problem was an error when trying to export a 275 page book to idml format as something was going wrong with the minor panic of losing months worth of work. It kept crashing InDesign CS5 on Win-7 64 Pro.
In three very long calls over the period of the day, creating new ID's, wiping out all sorts of stuff, including a reinstall of just ID, the Adobe help line finally had us permanently deregister the Suite, remove the whole suite, clean everything with a piece of code they recommended, and reinstall. It was a clean install. Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection on two DVDs, selected to install every option that had a check box - take a lunch break while it does its thing. Then updated to the latest code for InDesign (7.0.4) and Photoshop (all three check boxes) since those are the only two we generally use. We went through all the drills such as trashing to preferences, and so on. All the ID extensions are checked as well. When all was said and done, the file still crashed the system, suggesting the problem was a corrupt file. Time to go to plan B...
We managed to find an older version idml copy that could be updated using draft printouts, and patched our way back to sanity only to discover that none of the images were linked, and when we went to fix this using the link pallet, it was not there. No link panel, not on the /window drop down, not anywhere. We finally relinked the images by using the Package "Repair All". However, one image was RGB, and when we right clicked to edit in orginal (Photoshop), there was no such option anymore. The tech support guy at Adobe was baffled (politely).
Somehow an awful lot of features related to images have vanished in this futile attempt to fix another problem. We are now worse off than we were this morning.
We figure there is some sort of switch somewhere, that Adobe tech should know, but their help line seems to be staffed by people whose solution is to delete everything and start over. When that failed to work, they said they will call back, but by the time we rang them back they were closed.
Has anyone either had this happen, or know what might be causing it? Links is an important feature, and without it, we might as well go back to CS-4...
Hmmm, good thought, let's try it. Just tried it before hitting Post Message, saving the file as IDML, but before it would open, the old ID-CS4 crashed with an error "Failed to open plugin resources: PARAGRAPH COMPOSER.RPLN" argh! (Don't let this one distract the question... all we want to know is how to find the Links Pallet on ID-CS5 v 7.0.4)

We are writing this saga in hopes someone in management at Adobe may actually read it and make some changes to their company. While they may think they save money farming their support out to a call centre in India, they have chosen the wrong centre, or their quality control is bad. While their hourly costs may be lower than running support out of their home office, we suggest Adobe is paying more because the call centre takes so much time, and creates so many new problems. In fact, we do wonder if the reason the call centre people are so polite and constantly repeating and apologising is not cultural, but so they can keep the meter running longer. Memo to Adobe: You are being ripped off. Even if you don't care about your customers, your too-smart cost-cutters are losing you money. Better to provide high-quality tech support that knows what is wrong and finds the solution in minutes than wasting hours and days as happens now.
It turns out that the support rep at Adobe gave us bad information and was about to propose more bad answers had we not become stroppy and demanded to speak to someone more competent. The support technician's next step was for us to:
Load ID CS5 on another windows PC
If the software worked on that PC either call Microsoft (yeah right) or
Delete and reinstall Windows 7 Pro
They did not volunteer any more than step 1, but having lost patience with their erroneous advice in the prior round, we pressed for what they would recommend next, since in fact the CS5 products had been working fine on the main desktop until they started telling us to start deleting and reinstalling things. On a complex multi-application computer, deleting and reinstalling Windows is not a simple matter, it usually results in downtime of three days and invariably important programs are reset, losing customisation that has been done over time. Our team concluded that rather than do this, if there was no other solution, we would trash CS5 and either go back to CS4 or purchase an Apple desktop solely to handle InDesign. Therefore, instead of continuing down this line of blind nonsense, we demanded to speak to someone who spoke better English, had a better phone connection and knew more than to tell us to keep damaging our systems.
Finally, we got a call back from a more informed 1st tier support rep who goes by the nickname Sonny. For some reason the connection was far better, and we could understand every word of his much better English. It turns out that the Adobe support rep had walked us through the delete and recovery procedure and omitted a key step. This was only learned by pressing Sonny hard, until he realised the missing step. The prior rep walked us through the following support process and only told us to call back after we had begun step 5.
Deactivate the CS5 Master Collection,
Download and Unzip Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
Create a new User ID with Administrator Level authority and sign on to it
Close all programs and run the Cleaner Tool
Reinstall CS5
Download the updates (which is a problem when one is on a 10gb cap broadband plan)
Of course, this did not fix the problem we had called about (manuscript kept crashing ID), but additionally the Links Pallet was completely missing as was the Edit Original right click function which made managing images in a manuscript impossible.
When we reviewed this with Sonny, he finally identified the missing step. Before Step 4, running the Cleaner Tool, run the Microsoft Control Panel Uninstall Program to remove all the programs. Then run the cleaner tool to find files that Microsoft missed. Finally, after Step 4, add an additional step of manually looking at the files using File Manager to make sure all files were cleaned out and gone. When all this is done, go to Step 5 reboot and reinstall.
Well the reboot took about 15 minutes as all sorts of orphan files came up, but when all was reinstalled, the InDesign functioned as it was supposed to function. The links pallet and edit orginal image was back where they belonged.
The only thing we discovered is that when we went to email, eleven years worth of emails had vanished. We are now in correspondence with the email support team (thankfully, we use a commercial product, not a free one) to see if these can be recovered. It appears the Cleaner cleaned out more than Adobe. Oops, sorry about that. Argh!
So what have we learned?
The original problem appears to have been a corrupted file. Since this was a 275 page manuscript, it was not something that could easily be given up. We called Adobe hoping to figure out why the application program was crashing. This was never answered. It would crash when we ran spell check and it would crash when we tried to export it to an IDML file. This is a deficiency in the Adobe product that it allows this. Adobe never addressed this, or identified this.
It was only when we started doing our own trouble shooting while waiting for Adobe to call back after they trashed the delete and restore application, that we realised we were being supported by ignorant technicians who appear to have little understanding of their products, very poor communications technology (it's hard to understand them due to a low quality line and in some cases a strong Indian accent), and whose "solutions" were to remove and reinstall their products. In this solution approach, the support technicians don't always get the steps right, with the outcome that the "solution" does not work.
At this point, we realised we were in worse shape than when we made the original call. So we searched our files to find the most recent IDML backup that did work, imported it and then took pdf printouts to re-enter all the changes to the manuscript since that backup was made. We hope we located all the differences between the two drafts. This of course is a manual process and what we sought to avoid by calling Adobe in the first place, but we realised that the Adobe support was going to take more time than clerical re-work. Thus we ended up with a repaired manuscript - no thanks to Adobe, and a newly defective application program where their next "solution: was to trash the operating system.
At no time did the technician ask the key questions to review what they might have done or not done that could have caused the problem. In other words, Adobe does not run a technical support line, but a trash and rebuild line. They waste hours of their own call centre time, not to mention the client time, creating further problems, call centre hours that we presume Adobe must pay for.
That we must listen very carefully to what the technician says back, since over 50% of the time, they do not understand. When the record is read back, it is wrong (they wrote down that ID crashed on opening... never true).
That it is not impolite to ask them to stop wasting time with very long apologies as the opening of every sentence.
That it is essential that you have the customer identity information in the right order, so they do not spend 10 minutes verifying who you are.
That it is not impolite to tell them to stop filling the air with nonsense and either answer the questions or get someone who can.
That it is not inappropriate to threaten to document the call and file a formal complaint with Adobe.
So for anyone who uses Adobe Help:
Demand someone who can speak clear English on a clear phone connection. Write down their name and location so they can be tracked.
Write down every step they propose and ask what is the next step if it fails to achieve the desired outcome.
Demand that each step be written down in their documentation as well.
Demand to know every custom file such as preferences and language dictionaries and their location. Make copies outside of Adobe so the cleaner file does not delete them. A folder on the desktop is the safest.
When it becomes clear the technician does not have a clue what they are doing, demand to speak to their boss.
Document every step here on this forum, so when they ask how they did, refer them to the public record.
Thanks to Peter Spier and Jongware for their attempts at solutions. Turned out it was a corrupt file that would have been a disaster had we not made backups and a defective Adobe technical support system that threated to trash our whole operation.
Bravo for persisting, insisting, asserting, relying on your own intelligence as you realized you were being not only ill-served, but wrongly-served and unforgivably-destructively-served. Sorry to hear how your own civility kept you from acting protectively sooner.
I agree about escalating cases to the highest-level support manager ASAP as you discover incompetent support. I've written about this in a few posts that you can find with this Google search link: InDesign knowhow pro escalate support. I usually offer "I don't mean to be rude, but if you're not expert with this issue..." or I substitute "...aren't able to read the case notes and have expertise," and similar phrases, THEN I PRESS FOR ESCALATION, EVEN IF I NEED TO BE RUDE TO GET IT.
However, with the increasing complexity of the stuff we use, and, as in your example, it takes a few days to rebuild a system, don't be lulled by the concurrent increased confidence you get from smarter hardware and software. I suggest cloning working systems for backups in disasters like you're reporting. Don't overwrite stored clone backups with unproven current systems that may have unbeknownst to you just gone bad. Consider virtual software like VMware Fusion or Parallels, even if you're committed to Windows; you can install one or more virtual Windows systems on a real Windows system, make snapshots and revert to them if needed. I think these are more robust than Windows Restore Points, because snapshots track everything done on the virtual drive, whereas restore points only undo the Registry, IIRC, so corrupted user files remain corrupt, lost files remain lost.
IOW, practice safe computing.
I heard of a business professional who sued his doctor for time lost when he was kept waiting for an extremely long period with no explanation, offer to reschedule, etc. (IOW, he got "airline treatment.") Whether he collected isn't the point so much as the recognition of the concept, and the corresponding smart pro-customer-service steps taken across many industries and companies. Whether defensive or pro-active, better customer service is better for everyone in chain of relationships.

Backupeventlog not working for remote system in PowerShell

I have the following code snippet that works if I specify localhost or the name of the local computer, but does not work if set to a remote server. I am running the script as Administrator using my Domain Admin account. Both local and remote systems
are Windows Server 2012 and in the same domain. PowerShell version = 3.0.
Param(
[parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
[ValidateScript({Test-Connection $_ })]
[String]
$Server,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
[String]
$LogFileName,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)]
[ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -PathType 'Container'})]
[String]
$OutputFolder
$EventLog = Get-WmiObject win32_nteventlogfile -ComputerName $Server -Filter "LogFileName = '$LogFileName'" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable $ResultError
If ($ResultError)
Write-Host "ERROR: unable to event logs from $Server."
} Else {
Write-Host "Backing $Server."
$EventLog.backupeventlog("$OutputFolder\$Server.evtx")

After spending some more time troubleshooting this and doing some more research I found the link below. I found it strange the hoops the author went through to handle event logs on remote systems until I realized that the path for "backupeventlog"
is relative to the remote system, not the system running the script. So I checked the other systems and found that the event log backups had been created. This would explain the returnvalue of 80. What's worse is that the path for "backupeventlog"
can't be a UNC -- I tried, it didn't work.
Back Up Your Event Logs with a Windows PowerShell Script
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/magazine/2009.07.heyscriptingguy.aspx
I decided to re-read Microsoft's documentation and found the magical text that I had over-looked:
BackupEventlog method of the Win32_NTEventlogFile class
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384808(v=vs.85).aspx
In addition, you must make backups to the local computer; you cannot save a backup of the event logs on Computer A to Computer B. Backups are implemented by using the LocalSystem account, which does not have the network credentials necessary to access remote
computers. If you want to save backups to a central repository, modify the script to first perform the backup, and then move the backup file to the central repository.

Error using Powershell inside a Workflow

Hello,
I have the following scenario: I want to change the Status of every Incident that is created to "Neu". This is a custom Status we created. So my first tought was to use the Authoring Tool with a Workflow. I created a Workflow wich will trigger
whenever a Incident is created (simple) and then I used the Windows PowerShell Script Activity, with the following code:
My First Question Is, I need the ID of the Incident, so I create a new Script Property and as a Value I select
Use a class property -> Incident -> ID, is this way correct?
Then I insert this value in my Code via $id = "$IncidentID";, there is also my question is that correct?
I have tested the Code, it works. If I insert a Incident ID manually it changes the status.
So after I created the Workflow, I saved the MP and copied the .dll to my SM Folder and importet my MP. But if create a new Incident the Status is "Active" and it says the Workflow failed. I looked into the log and found an Error Message, after
some research I found a solution that said I had to modify my MonitoringHost.exe.config
(the error Message had something to with a PowerShell Module/Assembly missing) so I added the follwoing lines:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Moduls.PowerShell" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="6.0.4900.0" newVersion="7.0.5000.0" />
But now I get the following Message:
Can somebody help me?

I made a mistake while editing the xml.

Why is help material missing in system-config-users ?

When I press the Help button or select Contents item on Help menu of the system-config-users main window, Mozilla Firefox starts displaying the plain text error message:
File Not Found
Firefox can't find the file at /usr/share/doc/system-config-users-1.2.51/index.html.
that is true, since the directory is empty. The same is true with most system-config apps. The original Red Hat packages do have help files for all system-configs. Why are they missing in OEL-5? Oracle claims that OEL is fully compatible with RHEL. The help material, eg. User Manager, is copyrighted by Red Hat, but it can be distributed subject to the terms and conditions in the Open Publication License. If it didn't suite Oracle needs, then Oracle had to find another solution (eg. writing its own short help material). Leaving the help directory empty without any explanation and just let a user wondering what the hell is happening, is irresponsible. Anyway it's one of the things that end users are least willing to tolerate at all.

I am not a lawyer. I am not in the inner circle. Any resemblance between my options and those of my employer are due entirely to the good fortune of my employer.
This is just my reading of the situation.
The OPL does not repeat the GPL words; OPL is a legal premise where GPL has been proven valid in several world courts. Maybe OPL is "just as good", maybe not. So the licensed docs had to come out of OEL first, even before replacement docs were ready. Probably a "must come out NOW" kind of executive decision from the Legal Department.
I know this post doesn't replace the missing documentation, but I hope it may help understand the omission.
