Removing Novell Client from Windows 7

Hello,
We have an issue with programs running slowly on our SUSE Linux server 11.0. We set up a test machine with Windows 7 without Novell Client and the same programs run extremely fast. (They run fast on a Windows 2008 server too with or without the client.) This is great for the new test machine but I have about 20 workstations that need to have the Client removed. If we remove it through control panel (both NICI and Novell Client - whatever version is installed) the programs are still slow. However, if we do a restore to the time before the Novell client was installed, the machine is fast. Because these machines have had the Novell Client installed for months, we cannot go back to an old restore point. Is there some registry file or other file that needs to be removed or changed to make the computer like it was installed without the Novell Client? I really do not want to have to rebuild 20 computers in order to fix this. I have researched the web and forums and cannot find any information about anything else that needs to be changed when the Novell client is removed. FYI - this is the same on our few Windows XP machines with the appropriate last updated Client on them.
Any help would be welcome!
Susan

We have had many issues with the Novell Client / Windows 7. Here is what we have done to get to an acceptable point.
We are running OES 11SP1 fully updated up until July (Getting ready to apply more updates), we are also talking about switching from CIFS to Samba as we have been seeing some weirdness with CIFS and NSS disconnects.
OES11 SP1 - Primary File Server NSS with CIFS
OES11 SP1 - DSFW/DNS Server for Domain Authentication for the CITRIX Servers, this server also runs ZCM 11.2.2 (Also going to update this as we need windows 8 support and the ZCM Agent has some issues at this level; however ZCM has a horrible way to apply updates and is time consuming)
OES11 SP1 Squid Proxy With transparent user authentication using LDAP with SquidTrust. Also has NSS Shares
Other servers exist as well.
We standardized on Novell Client 2 SP3 or Greater. Currently SP3 IR3 is what is in use. But prior to SP3 the client had many issues for us.
Also, We do not use Group policy with ZCM (We tried But it was painful and slow and policies would randomly just quit working / remove themselves) we reverted back to just digging in and finding the registry keys. If a key only existed in the Policy Section we put it there and do a GPUPDATE /force on login.
Server Settings:
Disable OPLOCKS
Workstation Settings:
NW Client Settings
File Commit (Enabled)
File Cache (Disabled) - NW Client Setting
Name Services DNS / SLP Only (Default on the newer Netware Client)
Win7 Machine Settings:
Static DNS Server - Set to the internal servers only. No external server set. The win 7 machines for some reason would use the secondary DNS Server randomly instead of the primary, never really dug in on why but disabling / removing a public DNS Server as the secondary and adding in a second internal.
MS Client For Microsoft Networks Remove, We tried changing the preferred order on the network adapters with no help. I believe the fact that we are running CIFS on the Server side the client is having issues with deciding on how to connect to the NSS Volumes when the client is installed. With the MS Client removed we see a huge improvement In the Novell client.
Libraries Disable - Registry - We redirect Documents Folders and such and these libraries are wanting to index the locations. As the Libraries consist of multiple locations.
Offline Files Disable - Registry
Windows Search Disable Registry (Service)
Zone Mapping - Registry Adds the servers & domain to the Trusted list for the OS (Even though it says Internet Explorer its used by other portions of the OS)
User Access Control Registry
I have others that helped but this is the short list of changes that made major improvements.
When I have a moment I will look back and see if there are other major changes. This is just what I remember.

2. There is no official client for 2008 (yet), but several posters have
claimed success with the Vista client.

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
Thanks.

One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

Group policy template for Novell Client for Windows 7

Does anyone know if there is a group policy template for the Novell Client for Windows 7? I find it really hard to believe that Novell has not yet released one, but I cannot find one anywhere. We use ZCM 11.2, and I really need to be able to send out settings for the client via a group policy.
By the way, I am also posting this on the Novell Client forum, but since this is also a ZCM thing, I am hoping I might get some feedback here.

How to remove Oracle 11g client from Windows 7 64-bit workstation.

When the Oracle 11g client was installed on a Windows 7 64-bit workstation, it was mistakenly installed as "Administrator".
We do not wish to do this; instead we want to install this client as a user with Administrator privileges.
PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BEFORE REPLYING TO THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!
When I try to install the client, I get a message sending me to this directory:
F:\app\Administrator
I do not know why this message is produced; the directory it refers to DOES NOT EXIST.
My suspicion is that there extraneous entries in the registry which have not been removed; the obvious ones such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE have been deleted.
What I believe I need is a COMPLETE list of entries placed in the registry upon installation of the Oracle client.
The obvious problem is that the Uninstall feature of Oracle client does NOT FULLY remove all of the above entries.
As a side note, the Oracle client software installation needs to be revamped to detect situations such as this and provide a course of corrective actions.

I've not done it yet with 11g, but prior editions, there are 3 things that have to be done to eradicate an oracle client installation from Windows, after running uninstaller
1) delete the registry key HKLM\software\oracle
2) delete the ORACLE_HOME directory from the file system
3) delete c:\Program Files\oracle

Novel Client for Windows 3.1

I recently was asked to support a windows 3.1 server with a Novel client
on top of it. It looks like the client has crashed so I am trying to find
out where I can get a copy of the Novel client that will work with
windows 3.1.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Keep scrolling down past the link for dw271e.zip (which is the 32-bit
client for DOS and Windows 9x), and you'll get to the links for
vlm121_x.exe, which represent the Novell Client probably last used for
Windows 3.10.
Or, KEEP scrolling down and you can scroll right into 1994 and a link
to where NETX v3.32 PTF may be found.

Disabling SMB2 and SMB3 Client from Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

There are many programs that are using a shared file on the server from clients from XP to Windows 10. From time to time it seems like there is a network outage and the handle to the file is broken and the file
cannot be read or updated. It seems more prevalent on a Windows 2012 server but may have happened from time to time on 2008 & 2008 R2. However there are not any network problems so it just leaves the server & Client
I have searched for possible resolutions including:-
Turning off the Cache for the share
Disabling the network adapter power setting to allow windows to put the device to sleep.
Disabling Antivirus/configuring it to ignore folders for on access scanning
Disabling SMB Signing
Configuring the clients DWORD registry value SilentForcedAutoReconnect=1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\NetCache
Setting the "NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1" to not drop client
connections
The last bit of trouble shooting that I can think of is to disable SMB2 and SMB3 as that does a lot of caching and batching of packets which could also be the cause of the problem.
I have looked at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us
I have disabled SMB2&3 on the server as that is very straight forward.
When I get to the section about disabling SMB2 on the client the command fails.
sc config
lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
  After running the above command, it returns an error:
      [SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
      Circular Service Dependency was specified.
So it's not worth running the following command:
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
I have tried the command on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10 just to confirm that it's nothing to do with any particular PC, machines in Domains and Non-Domain machines.
So, my questions are:-
1, is
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547/en-us actually correct and up to date and for the OSes (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 2012 server and Windows 10) with latest updates & service packs?
2, How do I disable SMB2 and SMB3 on clients for troubleshooting purposes the server to resolve problems with shared files (multi user access)
3, If I just disable SMB2 & 3 from the server would that force the clients not to use SMB2 when communicating with the server and therefore not caching the directory structure and file not found etc? I have seen posts that suggest this is not the case.
4. Does sc.exe have a bug in it?
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi,
I made a test in our testing enviroment, everything works fine to disable SMB2 and 3. For your problem, in my opinion, as I didn't find any specific report about this error, it would be better to use Process Monitor to capture the trace when running the
command.
Start Process Monitor, then set the filter as cmd.exe, after that, open CMD and execute the command.

In addition, I found another thread that had similar error with yours, you can take its solution as reference.

Roger,
Many thanks for the time taken to look into this.
I've downloaded process monitor and loaded it. I filtered for cmd.exe started capture and saved a 1mb file.
However I don't think this is going to help unless you can point me in the direction of what you're expecting to see in the capture file? If you want me to send you it I can but it does contain personal information which I'd rather not place online.
You can recreate the problem yourself by doing the following:
Go to modern.ie
Download any windows 7 virtual machine for your preferred of virtualisation platform
log in, start cmd as administrator and run the command
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
You will also receive the same error.
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1059:
Circular Service Dependency was specified.
You can also try it on the Windows 8 and 8.1 machine if you have time.
I checked the link to the similar error and that just looks at the file not found problem which is the smb2 cache. They still didn't resolve the slow access to the share which is seen on a machine that has anti-virus on it when you go to right click
on the folder or a file in the folder. It's about a 20 second (spinning circle) pause every time. The problem is bigger than that. If you have shared files on the network share that are used by multiple people at the same time, say a spreadsheet or database
file windows is loosing the connection to that file so the user cannot write to it even if they have the file open. The smb2 caching shouldn't cause that problem.
It appears that I have to disable from SMB2 and SMB3 and ensure that the clients only use SMB1.
If SMB2 & SMB3 are disabled from the lanmanworkstation service the clients will not do any caching even if the server has disabled the share cache (offline files for that share).
The problem with the "Circular reference" error message is standard across all versions of windows that have "smb2" or "smb2 and smb3". Can you recreate that problem? Or is it working on your windows computer and on the machines
downloaded from modern.ie ?
My testing has shown that the command "sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi" does not work. Therefore that's the one I want to resolve first. By resolving that I may be able to get the clients accessing the share to behave
themselves and use the shared files correctly as they always did from Windows 95/NT4 through to Windows XP and 2003/2008 server.
I'm unable to recreate the problem with multiple users having access to shared database files on windows 2012 server from Windows 7 clients were the access to the files drops once a day or once every couple of days.
Kindest Regards
Robert

Latest Novell Client on Windows 7 PCs fixes Office delays

At a client site with Windows 7 (both 32-bit & 64-bit) workstations running older Novell Client 2, Office 2007 & 2010 was experiencing delays in navigating the file/open dialog boxes. Sometimes the presentation of the folders and files would be quick, but frequently there was a 10 to 45 second delay at displaying the folders and their contents. This problem came on suddenly about early March 2015 (about three weeks ago for this post). I believe some Windows Update triggered the problem. It was affecting Windows 7 clients with a mix of Client 2 SP2 and Client 2 SP3.
I installed the Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows (IR10a) on the affected PCs and the users report the problem has gone away the very next day.
The site is running a Classic Netware server 6.5.8.

Restore MAC OS X after removing its partition from windows?

I created a new bootcamp partition on my macbook air and installed windows 7. Then I realised I had little use for the MAC OS partition and, from windows, formatted that drive to get the extra space,so my MB had 2 particions:
- C drive (Bootcamp)
- D drive (labelled just "new drive").
Now I would like to restore the Mac OS partition on the D drive, but I do not want to erase Bootcamp. However if I restart the computer pressing the C key and with the USB reinstall drive in, the only drive where I can apparently install mac os is bootcamp.
I have not advance after that step since I do not want to erase bootcamp. Any clues as to how to proceed here?
thanks!

You can format "D:" again to HFS from OS X Lion or DVD
You do not want to use WinClone to the same hard drive, terrible.
You can install OS X to external drive - partition the drive for OS X, WinClone perhaps or CampTune (also makes backup restore images) - and for TimeMachine.
CampTune will also 'redistribute' space between HFS and NTFS partitions.
Their "Pro" Suite can convert HFS <=> NTFS without loss of data - of course it would be foolish to not have backups.

Can't remove PC-DOS from Windows 7 Boot menu after using PC-Doctor for DOS Bootable CD

I have a T60, Win 7 Pro
I had some issues and tried the PC-Doctor for Dos bootable CD to run some diagnostics. Since then, upon bootup, I have a PC-DOS option in my boot menu that just won't go away.
Using EasyBSD, the only os supposed to be in the bootloader menu is Win 7, yet, everytime I boot up, I get the boot menu.
I even tried using bcdedit to sstop displaying the boot menu but it still appears (for a split second).
Looking for some help in steps to remove the PC-DOS option from my windows 7 boot menu.

Hi,
I have tried something like that with ZenWalk (Slackware- based distro) and it worked for me on my Lenovo b305 with ATI 5450, no problems like that. Not sure about how Ubuntu will deal with these AIO systems. But I have a feeling that it is not your HD or booting, sounds like a video problem. ATI and Linux don't get on well.
Can you see the console y Alt +F1? perhaps you have to reconfigure Xorg manually.
My advice is to ask in Ubuntu forums they might have better ideas. ATI 5??? line is still "new" for Linux and the open drivers need time to work properly.
Also keep in mind IdeaCentre was not build for Linux...Issues like this might happen also post install.
Hope this helps,
Sergio

Connect Oracle 9 client from windows 2012 server to 9.0 oracle database

Trying to combine versions of the Oracle client that weren't even certified on Windows 2003 with a bleeding edge Windows 2012 system is a recipe for pain and suffering. Even if you appear to get things working, there are any number of bugs that will likely crop up over time due to the massive version incompatibility.
If i understood right i can't make connection between oracle 9.2.0 32 bit client installed on windows 2012 to connect to oracle server 10 i?As others have pointed out, you probably can though you'll need to change the firewall rules. As others have stated, the firewall changes you'll need to make should probably be the same for a 9.2 client and a 10.2 client. But if you're determined to work with highly unsupported combinations of software, you're likely to have to embrace the idea that you're going to be blazing some new trails and that you'll have to spend a decent amount of time debugging issues that arise from your very unique combination.

How to remove Flash Player from Windows 2012 R2?

We don't use any of our server to navigate websites and we don't install any third party softwares. Windows 2012 R2 comes with flash player which we don't need and we definitely wanna remove that software. How can I remove it?

A little more information to possibly close this out.
The patch you are wondering about - 2942844 - was superceded by 2755801 on May 13. Since my tests were after that, they would be getting the new patch and not the old patch. Evidently the new patch did not contain 'Adobe Flash' in the title.
Furthermore, what the patch is doing is patching Adobe Flash libraries used by Internet Explorer. It it not patching an installation of Adobe Flash. Those libraries are part of the Windows distribution to allow for use of Adobe Flash by the browser
without the need to install Flash on the system.
Ergo, Adobe Flash, as stated from the beginning, is not part of the Windows Server distribution. But there are libraries that Adobe provides in the distribution.
In the future, if you have questions about what's happening, Microsoft documents every patch in pretty minute detail. My bad for not looking at the detailed information in the first place. To look up any security advisory with the detailed information,
modify this URL -
