PXE boot no longer working - blank cmd windows shown. If run Scripts/Litetouch file from target machine wizards runs as expected??

Hi, My MDT server no longer works as expected via PXE boot. After the target machine loads the .wim file an empty command windows is shown. I have returned the custom settings.ini and bootstrap files to default and ensured nothing is being skipped within
the task sequence within both files in hope of viewing the wizard.
However from the same target machine if I map drive to my Deploymentshare/Scripts directory and run LiteTouch file I am asked for domain credentials and the Deployment wizard is displayed asking for task sequence to be selected.
I believe this error is a result of two things:
1) I applied some windows updates to my mdt server (running on 2008 r2).
2) I was implementing changes to
ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf which i have now returned to default settings.
I have also regenerated boot images and re added to WDS.
Any help much appreciated?
Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
This sounds familiar; I only encounter this behaviour with certain kinds of laptops (Latitude E65x0) but I usually just provide the "wpeutil reboot" command in the empty command window to keep things going. All other hardware is deployed with the
same task sequence and this behaviour does not occur anywhere else...
A bit obvious maybe, but did you check if there is still a "Next Phase" step present and enabled following directly after the "Install Operating System" step?

Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows.

ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114. Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes. iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

I somewhat agree with you.
Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
"7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines. Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
(Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

Tapping no longer works after installing Windows 7 RC using boot camp.

After installing it i found that tapping to click no longer works in either OS X or Windows. I've checked system preferences and it is still ticked and all other gestures work except double tap and single tap. How do i fix this?

OK, here's what you do. I'm assuming that you've got the partition laid out and your drivers ready:
Insert your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and hold down the C key while restarting the Mac This boots Setup
Run through Setup once, formatting your Boot Camp volume. For this go-around, use a Custom install
You will get to a point where you are asked for your Product Key. Skip this request now!
Install the Boot Camp software
Next, go back to your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and allow the AutoRun. Click Install Now on the window that opens.
You're in Setup again. This time, do an Upgrade. You should be back at your Desktop when this runs through. If asked for the key again, skip it.
Click Start > Computer
Now click System properties
At the bottom of the System Properties window is a link, Change product key. Click this link.
Enter the Upgrade key now while you walk through activation. It should be accepted this time.
We've just tricked Windows into thinking it was upgraded, thereby fulfilling the license requirement. This method works because the installer makes no check as to what specific versions of Vista or 7 the upgrade will qualify on. In this way, it is possible to "clean install" an upgrade copy for about $100 less than a full copy.

Return Key no longer works in sql windows or procedure editors.

The <return> key no longer works in my SqlDeveloper editors. Is there an easy fix? I tried resetting the Option for the carriage return but it did not change anything.

So if you go to your shortcut keys (Tools > Preferences > Shortcut Keys) and search for "Enter", what commands are associated with the Enter shortcut? If you have tried remapping the Enter key to something else, it may have removed the standard association with the "Insert New Line" command.
You can reset to the default (which should fix the problem, but lose any custom shortcuts) with More Actions (top right) > Load Keyboard Scheme > Default.

Cmd window appears when running sqldeveloper.exe for some users

All,
I'm wondering why a cmd window appears when I double click the sqldeveloper.exe executable?
This is a Windows 2008 server.
Also, when the user that installed SQL Developer runs it, the cmd window has no text in it but when other users are logged into the server and run the same executable, they have a lot of messages appearing in the cmd window similar to:
at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.doConfigure<DOMConfigurator.java:616)
What I'd like to do is NOT have any cmd window appear when the users run sqldeveloper.exe

There are two sqldeveloper.exe files. The one in the root of the sqldeveloper installation folder doesn't produce a console; the one in <sqldev>\sqldevloper\bin does.

The "Downloads Window" freezes after I open a file from it.

Win7 system.
I just upgraded from FF12 to FF14.01.
I discovered that I was able to open only one or two files from the Downloads Window, after which the window would stop working properly. Double-clicking a file did nothing beyond highlighting its entry. Right-clicking and using the contextual menu doesn't open it either. Shutting down and reloading FF doesn't improve the situation. Only rebooting seems to get me anywhere, then only for a file or two.
PS: downgrading to FF 13 didn't help. The folder acts the same way in v-13. It was working fine in v-12 earlier today.
Thanks in advance for any wisdom anyone can pass along ...

in search bar, type "about:config"
Do this to see if it works.
search for "scan"
double click the first one to turn off the scanning of files when done.
"browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone"
-- set to false.
I'm running microsoft security essentials so i think that's what was causing my freezes. Here's is how i fixed mine.
Here's what i did :
Open microsoft security essentials and go to settings.
Under " Excluded Processes" .. browse for mozilla firefox in your program files and add it to the exclusion. --- click "add" then "save changes".
This somehow solved my problem... hopefully whoever reads this, this will also solve yours.

Windows 8.1 will not copy files from intranet site.

I am using Windows 8.1 and I am trying to copy files from an Apple Time Capsule disk to a local hard drive. First I got the message box that said "Your Internet security settings suggest that one or more files may be harmful. Do you want to use it
anyway?" and when I said okay nothing would copy. I went into my Internet options and added the Time Capsule disk to my site list in the Local Intranet Zone and reconnected the shared drive. Now I don't get the error box but it doesn't copy
anything either. It does nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Restore Session no longer works properly, the window shows as blank, and the restore button is greyed out. On the history tab, the three associated links are also greyed out and unusable. How do I restore functionality?

Just as the question says, I get a restore session tab whenever I open Firefox, but it no longer shows my tabs, and the Restore button is greyed out. If I open and then close a side, it no longer shows up in the "recently closed tabs" in the History menu. "restore previous session" and "Recently closed windows" are also greyed out.
I'd like this function to work correctly again.

Make sure that you do not use Clear History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Since the capture media is no longer working for capturing Windows 8.1 images,

Since Copy Profile doesn't work when you use the sccm capture media to capture a Windows 8.1 image
This is how I been capturing my Windows 8.1 image.
1. Manually sealing the image. Logged in as Administrator, I run, C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:"C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep64-81-std.xml" this points to my answer file which contains copy
profile=true. Once Windows is shutdown, I boot directly to PXE, using a TS of the method found in the link below.
2. I then use this method to capture the image directly to a wim file. http://blog.coretech.dk/mip/capture-none-syspreped-image-using-sccm-running-imagex-from-a-ts/
I'd like to hear how others are capturing there Windows 8.1 images, because I am always looking for a better method.

My Adobe CC apps no longer work at all (Windows 8) - they just crash

I successfully used Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro on my laptop (which uses Windows 8) for a full year. Creative Cloud version. While it wasn't ideal, and some day I will switch to a Mac, I was able to get the job done. Two months ago, Premiere Pro stopped working. It crashed every time I opened it. I removed it from my computer and re-downloaded it - no improvement. Photoshop then started to get REALLY slow, I did the same process (removed and redownloaded), and no improvement. Last week, it started crashing every time. So now, I'm paying $50/mo for software I cannot use. At all. I can't even crop a photo. Can someone please help me figure out why this is happening and what I can do to fix it - or even to figure out how to go about diagnosing the problem? Everything else on my laptop is working just fine as far as I can tell. No crashes unless I try to open my Adobe programs.

Photoshop and Premiere Pro have STRONG ties to the graphics adapter and driver, and Windows Updates have a LONG history of breaking drivers
What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself
ATI Driver Autodetect http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
