Resource booking with Windows 8.1 and office 2010

I've two SP3 Laptops running 8.1 on out network. I've Office 2010 installed on these and they are mostly working fine;
However they cannot book resources - this is a common win7 fault we would fix here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982774/en-gb
But its not working under Win 8.1, neither the fixit icon or the manual config.
We are presently running exchange 2003
Is there a 8.1 2010 fix you know of?
Many thanks,
Stuart
I asked this yesterday of this forum -

, but they said that this pro forum was more suited for more technical issues.

Hi,
Currently I don't have the exact same environment to test, please make sure you have modified the registry keys correctly and if possible, try this manually on multiple Windows 8.1 machines to see if this is an individual issue or widely affected. If this
fix doesn't work on all Windows 8.1 machines, please provide feedback or to report this issue with this solution, please leave a comment on the "Fix it for me" blog or send an
email message.

Windows 8.1 and Office 2010

Hi
Has anyone experienced an issue with desktop icons moving to left side of desktop after amending an office document for the first time, and subsequent occasions.
I use MS Office 2010 on Windows 8.1. The view settings "Arrange Automatically" and "Align to Grid" are off. Office documents are arranged on the right hand side of the desktop. If I create a new document on the right,
open it and amend it, and then hit save button before closing it, the document will end up on the left hand side. This usually happens on the first initial amendment, and can happen again after subsequent saves. I have confirmed this on multiple
Windows 8.1 machines and also Windows 7 machine with Office 2003.

Hi，
I tested Office 2013 Word in my Windows 8.1 update, and it also has the same symptom as you described, after editing the document and saving it on desktop, it will be automatically moved to the left side. currently, I have no idea on this issue, I will report
it.
Thanks for your support.

I have just purchased my first MacBook Pro and it is pretty fantastic. I own the disks for Microsoft Windows 7 ultimate, and Office 2010 Professional Plus, and need to run them in this Mac. 32 bit discs. Can this happen in boot camp?

I am trying to run Windows and Mac OS on my brand new MacBook Pro. I need to be able to boot to either one. I don't need a lot of hard drive space for the Windows OS. However, the software discs I own for Windows are 32 bit install. Is there a way to run this with what I have? I have the new MacBook 13 in. with retina display. 2.6Ghz i5 with 8GB RAM and 512 GB PCIe Hard drive.

Hi guys! I have a new Macbook Pro purchased from Best Buy yesterday. I had the Geek Squad upgrade the RAM to 8 gigs (They only had PNY brand, I was concerned but went with it anyway). I had them install Boot Camp Windows 7 Ultimate. Today I picked it up and when I started playing with it I learned that they installed the 32 bit version of Win 7 Ultimate instead of the 64 bit version, why, I have NO IDEA.
So, I want to replace the Win 7 installation with the 64 bit version but have read that this can be tricky. What is the proper way to do this? I'm not sure I trust the Geek Squad to do this for me.
I assume I need to reformat the Windows partition, defragment and then install the 64 bit version of Win 7 Ultimate, but am not completely sure. I want to be sure that I do NOT do anything that could affect the Mac side
What do you guys think?
I think you should take it back to the Geeks and tell them what you want, I also think you should backup before you do.
You do not need to reformat or repartition, you need to reinstall Windows from a 64bit copy, 32 & 64 have identical requirements as far as partition and format go, defragmenting has nothing at all to do with your needs.

Icloud doesn't work after a clean install of windows 8 pro and office 2010

After installing the 'iCloud Control Panel for Windows v2.0' on my cleanly built laptop. I now getting the following error after activation the mail option under the iCloud Control Panel 'Setup can't Continue Because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again'..
I have done this add also added a second email address and change the new email address to be the default email address.
I've also done the following as well....
Ideally the error message you have mentioned is related to iCloud. But you may try these steps as you have already tried re-installing the iCloud control panel and sign in back to sync with Outlook:
Check if there is any new updated version of iCloud released for Windows 8.
1. Sign out from iCloud control Panel.
2. Go to Outlook -> Click on File -> Options -> Add-ins.
3. Select Com Add-ins in Manage -> Click on GO.
4. Disable all the Add-ins -> Click OK to save the settings.
Now go to iCloud Control panel and sign into the iCloud account. Open Outlook and check if you are able to sync.
however the same original error still accures. can i also point out i have delete the all the os and applications and started again by rebuilding the os windows 8 pro but this time using ms office 2013 and the error 'Setup can't Continue Because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again' happens again als did option 1-4 from above as well and the error still happens.
Any Idea's?

Windows 8 is not supported on Boot Camp, that may or may not be part of your issue but it makes troubleshooting difficult. Post in Microsofts forums as well, that error message is not limited to Boot Camp installations, regular Windows users also get it.

Windows 7 Pro and Enterprise and Office 2010 Not Able to re-Activate

In September 2012, I was tasked to provide desktop support for a small <50 seat school that uses a combination of Windows 7 Enterprise and Pro as well as Office 2010 Pro Plus with Volume Licenses purchased through Dell. In May of 2013, it was discovered
that our Microsoft Volume License agreement had lapsed and at the time we could not afford to renew it. In September we purchased a 5 seat license from JourneyEd for Windows 7 Pro and Office 2010 Pro Plus. Also in July 2013, we upgraded and consolidated our
server setup.
In November, we began to see notifications that our Microsoft products were becoming deactivated and needed to be reactivated. When we would try to reactivate, there would be an error message that said reactivating failed with no further message.
I need assistance to determine what is causing our licenses to deactivate and also how to fix this issue.
Thank you in advance for your assistance

Windows 7 and Office 2010 activation issues

hey everyone
since a few days we facing really strange issue here within our school. We are running windows 7 machines and office 2010 and all our different machine types is it VDI VMs, physical laptops, desktop computer or provisioning machines (Citrix PVS) are facing
issues with the licensing.
Sometimes Windows 7 Key is not installed anymore, sometime it is just not activated same for office. So the KMS is installed with the KMS host keys since years and KMS service is running. Also the DNS Output points to the server
C:\Users\.........>nslookup -type=srv _vlmcs._tcp
Server: DC....
Address: 192.168.X.Y
_vlmcs._tcp.Domain SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 0
port = 1688
svr hostname = KMSHost
KMSHost.domain internet address = 192.168.X.Z
Also when i manually force the machines to update against KMS with VAMT or CLI it is working. What could cause that issues?
Time issues?
Scripts?
Thanks for any clue and advice

Hi Duke,
"since a few days we facing really strange issue here within our school"
Have you made any modifications to the KMS server or the whole environment ?Will the issue persist or occur randomly ?Will it occur on the specific ones or all the machines ?
There are several specific log recorded in the event viewer when the KMS try to activate the machines .We can try to check the event logs both from the client and the KMS server to troubleshoot this issue .Please also check the Windows logs\Applications
,system logs for useful information to troubleshoot this issue .
Here are two links for reference:

Windows 7 and Office 2010

I am trying to setup a BB on a computer that is running windows 7 (64bit) and office 2010. For some reason it will not sync correctly. Has anyone had issues witht this? The phone is an 8850.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Many have had issues, many have had success. The only way to diagnose is with details..."it will not sync correctly" only leaves us to guess. Here are some details that might help:
1) Your BB Desktop Software version -- all 4 octets please
2) Your BB OS level -- again, all 4 octets
3) Your carrier/country
4) What, exactly, happens when you try to sync? Can you configure and not sync? Can you not configure? Are there error messages? Details please to help us to help you.
Good luck and let us know!

Excel VBA - ActiveX Control - MonthView not available under ActiveX Toolbox for Windows 8 64bit MS Office 2010

Hello,
I have Windows 8, 64bit and Office 2010
I am trying to get the 'datepicker' (MonthView) ActiveX control toolbox in Excel 2010 as part of a Excel UserForm I have created. I have spent all day trying to find a solution for my problem.
I opened up the 'more.. ' but the MonthView/datepicker/calendar control is not listed.
I referred to some articles and confirmed that I do indeed have the mscomct2.ocx file in the C:\Windows\syswow64 folder.
I followed the instructions as above, opening up the Administrator Command Prompt and changed the directory to C:\Windows\syswow64 and typed in RegSvr32.
I received a popup screen confirming my registration was successful
Excel was closed. So I opened Excel and checked out the ActiveX Tool box and clicked on the 'More Controls', but there was no listing for the Microsoft MonthView control, (nor datepicker/calendar)
I then downloaded the latest Windows Common Controls 2 6.0 from the following site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381
Copied the original file (2008) and saved it elsewhere on the computer for safekeeping.
Extracted the new mscomct2.ocx.
Under the C:\Windows\syswow64 I changed the original file properties to allow me to overwrite it with the new file. This worked … old file replaced.
I then registered the new file via the Administrator Command Prompt (as above) and was notified that it was successful. I rebooted pc and went back into Excel to find the MonthView in the
ActiveX toolbox, More Controls… and it still wasn’t there …
I would be very grateful if someone could advise how I can get this control and allow me to use it.
If I have left out any information that you need to resolve this issue, please advise.
Cheers,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

Hi George,
Thank you for checking this out ... :)
I am using Office 2010 64 bit ...
I found the
mscomct2.ocx file originally within the C:\Windows\syswow64 directory (this was an original file .... which I expect was installed via Microsoft at the time of the Office installation.
As I mentioned above, I followed
the instructions (same as the ones you suggested), but still no go, even though it stated that the registration was successful ! :(
Why weren't these features included in the 64 bit ? ... yes, I read the article ... but ... so MS doesn't think that people/developers would be needing this in due course? I installed the 64bit version because I'm running the Win8 64bit version ...and
I deal with a lot of large spreadsheets and can't afford to sleep whilst they decide to load.
If MS included all the other ActiveX controls and some obscure ones, surely some bright spark could have thought that something as useful as MonthView should be included as 'basic' necessity when dealing with forms and sheets?
Perhaps you could pass the suggestion up the line .... there are a lot of other people out there having the same problem ... I found heaps when I was looking for a solution.
Sorry, I'm not having a go at you, but just incredibly frustrated .... the amount of lost productivity directly cause by trying to find a solution that doesn't exist ... it's been at least a good solid 24 hours.
But thank you for taking the time to review my post and your suggestion. It's unfortunate that because you are part of the organisation ... you tend to cop some slack from frustrated people like myself.
In relation to the pictures/screen dumps, 2 of them made it (I can see them in my post) ... one I deliberately left out because there was nothing on there that showed anything other than the rest of the 'More Controls' - nothing to do with the MonthView.
Please feel free to escalate this to the powers that be ... and hopefully enough people will join the voice so a change can be made (I can dream ... can't I?)
I've taken a screen dump of the Forms/ActiveX toolbox.
I don't know what the next step is ... I guess you'd be able to advise.
Cheers,
TheShyButterfly
Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Start with the section titled Check the network.

Tutor 14 with Windows 8.1 and MS Office 2013

Hi all,
Have anybody used Tutor Author and Publisher with Windows 8.1 and MS Office 2013? Are there any known issues/compatibility issues with this? Any information on this is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
SD

That would be great! I would really appreciate if you can try this. I am having trouble creating the master index and desk manual index from tutor Publisher. I have tried with multiple machines but i am running into winkey error. I am already working with oracle for this, but there has been no progress. Kindly update once you are done testing or if you are able to use it without any issues.
thanks in advance,
SD

Am i the only one that see's serious bugs with Windows Search index on Windows 8.1 and Office 2013?

So i originally had Windows 8 and Office 2013 installed. I noticed that alot of my emails in Outlook 2013 as well as contacts werent being indexed. I waited for windows 8.1 and did an upgrade hoping the 8.1 would fix the issue. It didn't.
So i formatted my hard drive, installed fresh windows 8.1, and office 2013, and let it Windows Index run. I see 2 things happening.
A.) The indexer never completes
B.) the indexer takes up 40% cpu usage.
I tried rebuilding, creating index from new location, nothing seemed to work. I decided to prevent the indexer from searching Office apps (outlook and onenote) and low and behold it completes indexing.
I decided to try and format again and see if there was some bug causing the issue. So this week I formatted once agian, loaded Windows 8.1, installed updates, and loaded office 2013. Once again, my indexer
is stuck around 70k items and my processor usage on Searchindexer.exe is around 30-40%.
Is this a known bug with 8.1 and office?
Brad Nelson MCSE/DCSE/A+/Network+/WCSP

Hi,
I test in my environment, and Windows would finish the index, the CPU usage keeps in 29%, which my RAM is 8G.
Can you tell us how you let the Windows Index run?

EPM 11.1.2 with Windows 7 and Office 2010

Hi all,
We are getting majorly upgraded to Windows 7 and Office 2010 soon. We use EPM 11.1.2 suite of products. Will all the end-user web applications still work?
I already found out that Smartview 11.1.2 is not supported for Office 2010.
Does anybody have experience working with 11.1.2 and Windows 7?
Thanks,
Sujani

According to Oracle Support, KB ID 1191235.1, there is Office 2010 suport for 9.3.3 and 11.1.1.3.02. That release is patch 9889521 and is for SmartView only.
Havnig said that, people seem to be using it:
Essbase excel add-in 11.1.2 with office 2010 Excel ?
Re: Hyperion Essbase Excel Addin - Unable to connect
Of course you take your own chances with this -- it is an unsupported combination right now.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
P.S. John Booth posted today a different patch release (I know, you're on 11.1.2, but for the 11.1.1.3 readers): http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1294100830/Does+11.1.1.3+support+Windows+7+and+Office+2010-
I'd be more inclined to go with John's patch number than mine -- I am just browsing through Oracle support -- he does infrastructure for real.
Edited by: CL on Jan 4, 2011 2:18 PM
One note -- the KB article was dated 21 Dec 2010, so it's pretty close to up to date.

BPC NW SP5 with Windows 7 and Office 2010 - issues with EvDRE reports

Hi All,
We are facing a BPC front end issue with the following symptoms:
1. Any report with multiple EvDREs crashes out either instantly or within a few minutes of operation.
2. Two EvDRE reports (or one report and one input tempate) crashes same as above.
The crash is either an EvDRE error message or an endless wait for the server to respond (where we have to eventually terminate the application).
We were suggested to move to sp7 but the issues persisted.
We do have a message and SAP is helping us investigate. What I want to understand from everyone is are there customres successfully using this combination (BPC NW SP5 Windows 7 and Office 2010) along with the above features?
Customer is really loosing confidence in the solution and is eager to find out if we are the only one using this.
Regards
Anupam

Hi Zach,
While I do understand we need to isolate the problem but testing on different combinations, customer at the moment is not inclined for this and is looking for other customer references that this environment is stable.

Anupam

Unexpected restarts when deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates

Hi
I am deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates via SCCM 2012 sp1 and have a couple of questions
Question 1)
The updates are made available to clients at 9am on a Tuesday morning. The users get notification that updates are available to install. If the user doesn't install the updates, the client will wait 24hrs and then install the updates automatically.
We have set the restart behaviour to 24hrs, so again, the user will get a pop up saying that their machine will restart in 24hours. In my testing I have seen no more pop ups appear until 15 minutes before a restart is due and then a window appears
with a count down of 15 minutes but I think this might be standard behaviour. I am not sure why there are options in the client settings to remind users frequently about the impending installation of update but not of impending restarts. The
reason we delay the restart by 24hrs is to give the users the chance to restart their machines over night. Is there a way of providing more notifications of computer restarts ? The User Experience in the deployment of the updates is set to
Display in software center and show all notifications. We have Group Policy set to Not Configured for Windows Updates apart from the user policy
Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to 0 - Do not show any notifications.
Question 2)
Another issue we have is that we have client machines restarting without any warning at all. I have tested setting the user experience to suppress restarts but have the issue regardless. It appears that this happens if the client
is off when the deployment schedule reaches its deadline and the restart time is missed. I had one user who did restart her machine because she was prompted to restart. When the machine came back up it looked like it installed another update and
then just resarted without any warning. This hasn't happened often but a one user was on a Lync call when the restart occured and she was not happy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Daniel
I have done an RSOP on a VM I am testing and only have the user policy :
Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to
0 - Do not show any notifications.
And the machine policy :
Specify intranet Microsoft update service location which is set to
Enabled The GPO Name is Local Group Policy
The policies look OK.
As a test I have deployed some updates and set the user experience to
Display all notifications and set the Suppress restarts
for both Servers and Workstations. When I deploy the updates, I get notifications that the updates are installing (when the deadline is met) and then I get a prompt telling me that a restart is required. I also get a windo letting me restart now
or I can ask to be reminded in x number of hours. This seems like expected behaviour. It does not force a restart. However if I leave the VM on over night I come in the following day and can see it has restarted. looking at the WindowsUpdate.log I
can see that at 3:15am the line AUInvoking reboot system. It looks like Windows Updates and not SCCM is forcing the restart.
Thanks
