Powershell not honoring GPO to hide drives

Hello,
I have a farm of terminal servers running windows 2008 r2. I have a GPO that hides and restricts access to the C drive and cmd.exe. If I use MSWord or another app and do file open, the drive is not displayed and if I type it in it says access denied. This
all works correctly. However if I run Powershell I can change to the C drive and run any command I want, like dir and see everything. Why can powershell see restricted drives when no other app can? Anyone know a way to fix besides restrict powershell itself,
which is an option just not a good one.
Thanks in advance
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hi,
If you want tight control over which exes are able to run on the server then you should take a look at AppLocker. You may also consider NTFS permissions.
In general group policy works as I described. It is trivial to create a program that does not honor the two group policy settings you mentioned. There are other group policy settings that do potentially have a more significant system-wide
impact that is difficult for an individual program to bypass but the ones you are referring to do not.
Please read the explain text for the group policy settings you are using for more information. For example, below is the text for Prevent access to drives from My Computer:
Prevents users from using My Computer to gain access to the content of selected drives.
If you enable this setting, users can browse the directory structure of the selected drives in My Computer or Windows Explorer, but they cannot open folders and access the contents. Also, they cannot use the Run dialog box or the Map Network Drive
dialog box to view the directories on these drives.
To use this setting, select a drive or combination of drives from the drop-down list. To allow access to all drive directories, disable this setting or select the "Do not restrict drives" option from the drop-down list.
Note: The icons representing the specified drives still appear in My Computer, but if users double-click the icons, a message appears explaining that a setting prevents the action.
Also, this setting does not prevent users from using programs to access local and network drives. And, it does not prevent them from using the Disk Management snap-in to view and change drive characteristics.
Also, see the "Hide these specified drives in My Computer" setting.
Thanks.

Pages '08 Export does not honor the "Hide extension" checkbox

I have noticed that Pages '08, even with the latest update (3.0.3), does not honor the state of the "Hide extension" checkbox in the Export save dialog (or "sheet" that slides out from the title bar). Specifically, I have seen this happen when exporting to Word. When un-checking the "Hide extension" checkbox, the filename is displayed in the dialog with the .doc extension, but the file appears in the save folder (anywhere in the file system) without the .doc extension until I do a Get Info on the file and un-check Hide Extension in the Name & Extension section.
This is really annoying because I hate automatic hiding of file extensions in general, and I find it unacceptable with any kind of MS Office docs because my Windows-using colleagues can't seem to cope without a file extension they recognize.
Also note that this does not seem to affect the Save or Save As dialogs in Pages '08, only the Export save dialog. I can create a regular Pages document, do a Save As, uncheck Hide Extension, and I'll see the document show up in the file system with the .pages extension.
Is this a known bug in Pages '08? I can't find any mention of it in the forums. I also want to know if this is fixed in Pages '09. I've been looking for a way to report this as a bug, but am not having much luck.

It has been mentioned many times but not lately.

No.

How to change maintenance powershell script via GPO?

Per suggestion reposted from here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/6eece9d6-a524-48aa-8e64-7554f0ec9b31/how-to-change-maintenance-powershell-script-via-gpo?forum=winserverGP
Posted at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/desktop-shortcuts-to-items-on-network-drives/94eddb27-342b-40fc-9ad4-677ff4ee8ebe?page=9&tm=1403700614489 originally.
There is a very annoying "feature" in Windows 7 called BrokenShortcuts.ps1 which is being called out weekly via maintenance task and if it finds more than 4 "broken" network shortcuts it removes them all. So it means if a user at this
moment is disconnected from the network he will lose all links to shares, network applications sitting on his desktop. Funny that there was no such script on Vista and i don't see this on Win8. On the post i have attached one user suggested to edit this script
and change 4 to 500 or whatever high number. That's fine for one time fix. But i need to do this for 200+ users. This file cannot be simply replaced by a script, so i'm wondering is there any way to do it via GPO?
I have already tried various startup scripts, but i'm not sure which user to put into commands.
I need to run this on startup:
takeown /F C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1
icacls c:\windows\diagnostics\scheduled\maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 /grant "some user":F
copy \\share\folder$\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\ /Y

You need to take time to study how Windows does these things. You can control them with GP which is what you asked. The article shows you how to disable elements of the tasks. Each task controls a script. If you disable the task the
script that deletes shortcuts will be stopped. Other maintenance tasks will continue to run.
Most of your problem is that you seem to want someone to provide a magical solution. In technology it is necessary to fully research your issues until you understand all aspects. After fully studying the issue you should understand the possible
solutions if they exist.
You claim to have deployed the patch that Microsoft released to fix the issue. You claim it didn't work. If that is the case then you need to call MS and \p[en a support incident. If Microsoft determines that you are right about the
patch not working you will not be charged for the call.
I know that learning how to support technology is hard and frustrating for newcomers. In time, by using these incidents to learn, you will become a seasoned technician and all of this will seem trivial. Until then we can only suggest that you
do things that most of us are familiar with. We cannot fix your network for you.
I think you haven't really posted in the GP forum but posted a question about GP in the server forum. Try posting in the GP forum.

Online chat quote not honored by Verizon or Verizon is trained to lie here too

I Was quoted by Taelor in a live chat and I quote"If you were to upgrade at that 2 year discounted price this would bring your bill to $160 before tax in which I'm seeing we can add our 30% discount on both line access fees for 1 year with a 1 year contract agreement,map dating your bill to $136 before taxes.". I was told I would be getting 15 gig plan and she also said we could add 1 gig of bonus data for a total of 16 gig, the plan would also be 2 smartphones for $136. I then had to leave tht chat session. A few hours later I contacted the live chat again. This time chatting with Lyndsey. i then asked her about what Taelor had said and she also confirmed the plan and told me I could also get the s5 pro owned phone for $99 and the Galaxy note 3 pre owned $99 phone with the 1 year contract however I would have to call as she could not do sales. Well I just got off the phone with Verizon and they would not honor one bit of that agreement even though the lady on the phone (very nice lady by the way) could read exactly what Taelor and Lyndsey both said in our chat session. I thanked her but I'm going to most likely be moving on to sprint and get unlimited everything for my wife and I at $60 each. My sister and her family and my brother in law and his family live in the same area and say they have great service and Internet as I know with sprint that can be a concern. Too bad because I really like Verizon.

I could title my experience the same!
I have had an S5 for about 6 months and have hated at least 23 of those weeks. A couple of weeks ago I signed onto chat to find out my options:
first agent, before she even answered my question as to my options, proceeded to tell me that if I changed my plan that I would save xz&y. I stated that while that sounded good, I wanted to sort out my phone problems first. While I was waiting for her reply, I got a text message notifying me that a change on my account had been made. I immediately stated in the chat that I had not authorized an account change and that before they had permission to do anything I wanted to know about my phone options. STRANGELY, the chat got cut off. WT$%^*
I copied the chat and initiated another session. A new rep comes on and I paste the previous chat into the window and inform her that no change was authorized, and while the change may make sense I want to understand what options I have for getting a new device. She apologized and then gave me my options: 1) buy a new no-contract phone at $750, 2)pay the ETF (prorated to around $250) and then either go onto a new 2 yr contract or go onto an edge contract. I said I will go with option 2. At which point she told me that I would have to go to the store to do the phone transaction but that she would review my plan options. We reviewed the options and I agreed to make the changes.
now I go into the closest VW store and after waiting for 30 minutes for service and another 30 of explaining and the rep talking with her manager, they tell me that they will not honor that. They will allow me to pay the ETF and go to a different device but I will lose my phone number.
So of these options is true:
Chat Reps are not trained properly, or
Chat Reps are intentionally misleading customers, or
Local stores are not trained properly, or
Local stores are refusing to follow VW agreements.
Which ever is a problem. My options are pay $750 or move my accounts to another carrier. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Escrow the recovery key in DB server and not in AD when removable drive is encrypted.

Is there any way to escrow the recovery key in the database server and not in AD when removable drive (USB drive) is encrypted via manage-bde command line? The data recovery agent is not enabled in our organization.
"Choose how bitlocker protected removable Drives can be recovered" for removable drives is disabled in our Group policy also.
Please advise. Thank you.

As far as I am concerned, you cannot do that when you are using the command line "Manage-bde".
The reason is because, the manage-bde command line parameters doesn't support saving recovery keys to databases. Also there is not any group policy defined for it.
I you want an option to save recovery keys in a database rather than the AD, I would recommend to use MBAM (Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring).

Did you add a System DSN or a User DSN? If you added a User DSN from your own login, the asp.net application will not be able to use it unless its application Pool in IIS is configured to run under the same credentials that you used for creating
the DSN. It's better if you add a System DSN.
Also, be careful to ensure that you are using a 64 bit DSN, unless you configure the application to run in 32 bits. If the 64 bit application attempts to use the 32 bit driver you get the same error message "Data source name not found and no default
driver specified". See this KB article:

How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
Hopefully someone can answer my question.

George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
Does this sound possible to you?

Location is not available to mapped network drive in Windows 8 using Synology NAS

Original Thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/location-is-not-available-to-mapped-network-drive/ca7eac5c-0e3d-494b-b488-e245978e4db9
I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 standard edition. I have come across a problem when using the option for mapped network drives. Under Windows 7 I would normally map a network drive (Synology NAS) and I could access all files, copy and paste, install
apps, and link media, all from within the mapped network drive. However, under Windows 8.1 I have come across a couple of problems.
1. When I try to copy a file from my "Mapped Network Drive" to the C:\Drive (OS Boot Drive), I get the following error,
"E:\ is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. if the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the
location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted."
However, if I copy a file from the "NETWORK/Network Location" the file copies just fine with no problems. And, If I also copy a file from a "Added Network Location" the file also copies just fine with no problems. And, if I copy a file from
my "Mapped Network Drive" to my D:\Drive (non OS Drive), the file copies just fine with no problems.
2. When I try to install apps from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will sometimes install and sometimes not (I am also choosing the option to run the programs as Administrator). Again if I try to install using either the "NETWORK/Network Location"
or an "Added Network Location" the apps install just fine with no problems.
3. When I link media (music or videos) from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will work but once I reboot they no longer work as if they have lost the file path or link of the original source location.
4. When I use FireFox (browser) and I set my default download dir to my "Mapped Network Drive" it will work once originally set it but after I reboot, it no longer works. However, again if I set the default download dir to either the "NETWORK/Network
Location" or an "Added Network Location" the default download dir works fine even after reboot.
While I am able to access my network drive using any of the three options, "Mapped Network Drive", "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network Location" but only "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network
Location"appear to be reliable. Tbh I would prefer to be able to use my "Mapped Network Drive" in Windows 8 as I have been able to under Windows 7.
More info:
I currently have UAC set to "Never Notify".
I also have Windows 8.1 installed on three different systems and all of them give me the same exact problems. One of the systems is a completely clean install with no 3rd party apps installed.
Just so its clear I am able to access the "Mapped Network Drive" but unfortunately this method of access appears to be unreliable in Windows 8 but in Windows 7 it works flawlessly.
If I map a network drive from another pc running windows 7 or 8, I can access and use the mapped drive with no problems. This problem appears to be related to the Synology NAS devices and I have researched the Synology forums but only found one thread about
the problem, here:
http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=76687
I have searched several forums and attempted to pick the brains of my local computer shops for any incite on this problem but I have been unable to find a solution/fix.
Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, we can temporarily disable the firewall to see whether the issue persists.
For this issue seems related to the Synology NAS devices, in order to get professional help regarding the product, we can contact the vendor support to see whether the issue
can be fixed.
Best regards,

Satellite A205 S4797 - can not find drivers for my drive

I have recovery disks and Windows Vista installation disk. When I try to install error meesage says it can not find drivers for my drive.
I tried scannong CD drive and it cannot find them do 32-bit, 64-bit all have different drivers and if so where do I get the one I need if not from the install disk or recovery disk from manuf.?

If you cannot use original Toshiba recovery DVD for OS installation I can imagine there is some problem with DVD itself (some missing file or scratch) but Microsoft Vista installation MUST work on this notebook model.
If this doesnt work too there must be some problem with HDD. Just if you want to install WXP you need to load SATA driver at start-up but Vista must work.
Can you please tell me what happen when you try to install Vista from Microsoft Vista installations DVD?

ITunes Will Not Recognize My CD/DVD Drive In My Windows Vista PC.

All,
I was forced to migrate to a new PC for work. It is running Windows Vista Enterprise. Since receiving the PC, iTunes will not recognize my CD/DVD Drive. I receive the following error message:
"Warning, The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing....." etc.
I have completed the following troubleshooting steps with no success:
1. Deleted upper and lower filters in the registry per the Microsoft fix from their web site.
2. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes/Quicktime/Etc.
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled the CD/DVD Drive
4. Verified that other programs recognize and can burn to my CD/DVD drive. I have Windows Media Player and Roxio Creator Basic installed.
5. Verified that Windows Vista recognizes my CD/DVD drive.
6. Installed the GEAR driver recommended on the Apple Support page for this issue.
All of my music in is iTunes and I prefer to burn my CD's via iTunes. I have read that several people are having this issue.
Does anyone have a solution? There has to be a fix out there somewhere.
I can downgrade to XP but it will take an "Act Of Congress" for my corporate IT group to send me the XP downgrade CD.
Any solutions or recommendations are great appreciated.

After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

I think the new xorg-server is the problem as it isn't supported by this nvidia driver yet.
You could try to install the nouveau driver until nvidia comes with a new version of the 173 branch that supports xorg-server 1.10, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau for information. As lower-grade options, you might also consider xf86-video-nv and xf86-video-vesa.
Should i uninstall nvidia driver, then install it?
I think thats the easy way yes, else you have to blacklist the nvidia kernel module.. check the wiki link of nouveau for details.
