RSAT and the missing Attribute Editor tab [solution]

PROBLEM
When you install RSAT on a Vista workstation or Server 2008 system, that is managing a 2000/2003 based forest, you do not see the Attribute Editor tab when looking at the properties of a User or Computer object in Active Directory Users and Computers(ADUC).
MORE INFORMATION
The Display Specifier is not updated in the Configuration Naming context, because the 2008 schema changes have not been executed on the forest. Part of the upgrade updates the forest Display Specifiers.  The Attribute Editor tab actually uses functions within the ADSIEDIT tool , more specifically the ADSIEDIT.DLL extension. Although the DLL is probably registered on the RSAT system, the ConfigNC need updating, in order to expose the tab in the ADUC interface.
SOLUTION
Use the ADSIEDIT tool (or other tool of choice...ADexplorer, LDP etc), with a user who has rights to modify the Configuration Naming Context.
Navigate to cn=<languagepage>, cn=configuration, dc=<domainname>
             (where <languagepage> is your relevant language...see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324097)
             (where <domainname> is your domain dn)
Under the cn=User-Display object, edit AdminPropertyPages and add the line 11,{c7436f12-a27f-4cab-aaca-2bd27ed1b773}
Under the cn=Computer-Display object, edit AdminPropertyPages and add the line 12,{c7436f12-a27f-4cab-aaca-2bd27ed1b773}
Under the cn=Default-Display object, edit AdminPropertyPages and add the line 4,{c7436f12-a27f-4cab-aaca-2bd27ed1b773}
Open ADUC from the Vista or Server 2008 and you should now see the Attribute Editor for the object you selected.  Note: Attribute editor is only shown when ADUC is in Advanced View.

Never mind, i got it.... the prefix number is irrelevant as long as it is in sequential order... to be able to see the attribute editor tab for groups i just
Under the cn=group-Display object,
edit AdminPropertyPages and
add the line 5,{c7436f12-a27f-4cab-aaca-2bd27ed1b773}
the first number (5,) was my next available number.
FYI: English is 409. the actual DN would be cn=409,

  • How do I get a Vista 64 bit XP machine to show a "+" icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" and the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar?

    I have Firefox 4.0.1 installed on two laptops, one with Windows Vista, 64 bit and the other with Windows XP. Both machines have the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar. The XP machine also has a + icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" while the Vista machine does not have that + icon. I like using that; is there any way to get it on the Vista machine?

    After weeks of trying, I stumbled on the solution:
    # Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
    # At the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window, there are additional options for changing the appearance of the icons in your toolbars. From the Show drop-down menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars — Icons, Text, or Icons and Text together. By default, Firefox just shows Icons.
    # Select Icons and Text
    # When you are finished making changes, click Done to close the Customize Toolbar window.

  • AirPrint and the D-Link DIR-655 solution

    After much messing around I have finally achieved the ability to airprint using a DLink DIR-655 router.
    In my own search for a solution it became apparent this is bothering a lot of you. So here is my solution.
    Basic equipment we were using:
    iPhone 4s / iPad2 / iPad3 / MacBookPro Retina / Mac mini / Apple TV (the new one - forget its model) / some random android devices / Win 7 PC
    HP photosmart 5510 (B111a) Firmware ver. EPL2CN1239AR
    DLink DIR-655 router (ver. B1) Firmware ver. 2.05
    Set up HP printer over USB cable as per normal.
    Remove USB cable and finalise connection to wireless network as per normal (follow the HP setup).
    Log into your router via your browser.
    In your router settings:
    under SETUP / NETWORKSETTINGS / ADD DHCP Reservation (all my other devices are dynamic - this step is not essential but saves you time if you want to use your browser to log into the printer and scan or whatever - you can bookmark the address). Put in the appropriate details. You should be able to see the IP address, mac address, device name for the printer listed in Dynamic DHCP Clients section directly below.
    Save settings then log back into router.
    under ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS / Enable SPI - make sure SPI is disabled.That is to say, the box is not ticked. This is important.
    under the same menu (ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS the next options down are NAT ENDPOINT FILTERING. For UDP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent". For TCP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent".
    Save settings then log back into router.
    under ADVANCED / ADVANCED NETWORK / MULTICAST STREAMS - check the box to enable Multicast Streams.
    Save your settings.
    Enjoy!

    Hi Noel
    I am currently changing out my entire network.
    I am trying to avoid apple routers for both configurability and price.
    The bonjour issues I had been having really bugged me and lately despite HP replacing my printer, D-Link sending me an unreleased firmware I can print now from iPhones but not iPads.
    This is crazy.
    Using cunning software I was able to see the original HP printer was not broadcasting on bonjour.
    Got the new one, now it is. They were very kind at HP and gave me a free upgrade to a printer worth about 150 more. I have a lot of respect for their customer service.
    However, now I can see it is broadcasting on bonjour as mentioned above I can only print from the iPhones, not the iPads. (?????)
    I am looking into some routers compatible with DD-WRT (a nice firmware created by some people much smarter than I am) http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
    At another location with similar devices we have had no trouble getting everything to work including all the bridging etc.
    This still has not resolved my iPad no airprint issue but I intend to check this out at the other location tomorrow.
    Unfortunately the DIR-655 uses a cpu that is not compatible with DD-WRT.
    I am also wanting to integrate one apple airport express to airstream music (I don't like the compression of bluetooth).
    In the next 2 weeks I am going to finalise all of this and will let you know how I go.
    Please keep me posted on any advancements you have too.
    Edit: Oh and by the way, I, like you am using many different OS. I have about 9 iOS and osX devices, several windows PC's, 2 android devices, samsung wireless TV, dvico media player, aTV, gaming devices, HP printer etc etc... Networking used to be something I enjoyed. I have in the past had long range wireless links, linux boxes set up as routers etc but in an effort to simplify have reduced all of this (and the long range wifi link was highly illegal in terms of wattage but meant I had a 6kM link betwween two properties - probably effecting everyone in the ways own wifi ).

  • Runtime error R6034, itunesHelper.exe and the missing library MSVCR80.dll

    I made the mistake of upgrading to the new version of itunes and I appeared the following errors:
    - Runtime Error R6034 on ituneshelper.exe
    - Library MSVCR80.dll not found
    - Error 7 (windows error 126)
      I tried to install and uninstall as they say apple forums, I researched on my own restoring records, and review it with MicrosoftFixit which is also a solution to the problem but none of the options mentioned above solves the problem. I'm about to format my pc, but I read it in 3 forums that solution does not help. Lords of apple, what's going on with you? Sorry forgot to mention that since I restored settings to my pc that was 1 month ago and nothing happened.
    I have windows XP

    first disable your antivirus (you can re-enable later)
    go to start, right click on computer and choose properties - note if you have 64 bit or 32 bit operating system
    then make sure all users on the computer are logged off
    log into admin user (if yours isn't already one)
    then uninstall in this order
    itunes
    apple software update
    apple mobile device support (if it won't go - support.microsoft.com/fixit - skip step 1 and go to step 2 - click install or upgrade software or hardware - then scroll down to the bottom of step 3 and click run now next to Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled - basically tell it you want to manually tell it want you wantto do and then choose to uninstall and choose apple mobile device - if it freezes or stops around the end then just quit it and relaunch control panel and the apple mobile device should be gone)
    then continue to remove
    bonjour
    apple application support
    then restart computer
    click start - left click on computer - double click on c drive
    double click on program files
    make sure the itunes, ipod, and bonjour folders are gone - if they aren't select them, then right click and delete
    if you are on 64 bit
    complete the steps for program files and then also do program files x86
    if you had to delete any of those folders manually restart again afterwards
    for 32bit os - go to www.apple.com/itunes and download new itunes
    for 64bit os - support.apple.com/kb/DL1615 and download the 64bit version of itunes for windows
    this will resolve any issues related to the update
    NOTE - this will not touch your playlists or media files - your songs are not saved in the itunes application itself those are in a different folder in your music folder

  • Restriction and the Fixed attribute and JAXB

    Hi
    I have what I believe is a valid XSD, with two complex types BaseType and OtherType. What I want is for BaseType (abstract) to have an attribute but no fixed value for it. OtherType would restrict the allowable values to just "Test". I have checked the XSD with xmlspy and the W3C site.
    so happy with the xsd I try to use JAXB to generate classes:
    xjc.bat -p com.me.test example.xsd -d gen
    but I get :
    [ERROR] derivation-ok-restriction.2.1.1: Error for type 'OtherType'. An attibute use in this type has a REQUIRED setting which is inconsistent with a matching attribute use in the base type.
    (removing the Fixed attribute solves it but I'd like to keep it)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Des Field Corbett
    XSD Follows:
    ================================================================================
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
    <xs:complexType name="BaseType" abstract="true">
    <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:complexType name="OtherType">
    <xs:complexContent>
    <xs:restriction base="BaseType">
    <xs:attribute name="name" fixed="Test"/>
    </xs:restriction>
    </xs:complexContent>
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:element name="root" type="OtherType"></xs:element>
    </xs:schema>

    Got it to work...
    My XSD had the line in BaseTypes:
    <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
    and the line in OtherTypes:
    <xs:attribute name="name" fixed="Test"/>
    Changing this to:
    <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required" fixed="Test"/>
    Got it to work.
    Not sure if this is a Bug in JAXB or its just being fussy... Sure going to make it a pain to hand code in the extra tags in to my real life XSD!
    If there is a better way I'd be grateful to know....
    Thanks

    BTW getting a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException now - but as I'm just learning JAXB so I'm guessing thats something else.

  • Firefox just updated to 5.0.1 when it opens it opens two tabs, one a restore session tab and the other Firefox home tab. Nothing appears in the restore tab and everything freezes. Only way to get out is to ctrl, alt, del.

    After updating to Firefox 5.0.1 and trying to open Firefox, it opens two tabs. One is the restore session tab and the other is the Firefox home tab. Nothing opens in the session restore tab and once the Firefox home tab loads the browser screen freezes with no crash ID's listed. The only way to get out is thru the task manager and ending the process. Firefox worked fine before updating.

    Hi glivezey,
    Try typing ''about:home'' into the address bar. Is that the page you are looking for? If so, go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and save it as your homepage. If that home page doesn't show up the next time you start Firefox, you should look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Colorchecker passport and the DNG profile editor

    I finally got around to getting a Colorchecker passport to use with the DNG profile editor.
    I was secretly hoping I could save time by shooting the chart on location and make an instant profile out of that - then the colors would be at least "close ballpark" so I would just have to apply white balance and then move on to more specific adjustments. But of course it wasn't that easy, it still takes a fair bit of color tweaking to get right in most circumstances.
    So I'm wondering if my energy would be better spent trying to perfect one good dual illuminant general profile. For this I would use 3000 K tungsten at one end and 5500 K studio flash at the other. Or would it be better to use overcast daylight? In either case it's obviously important to ensure the chart is absolutely evenly lit.
    And then I should probably have a separate profile for fluorescent tubes.
    I'm curious what other people's experiences with the colorchecker/DNG profile editor are? How are you using it?

    The color profile changes with the lighting, so a profile that was computed for daylight won’t be right for tungsten or fluorescent.  Keep in mind that a custom camera profile is the set of corrections on top of an existing Adobe profile that the DNG has assigned to it, perhaps Adobe Standard, and all Adobe profiles are dual-illuminant profiles, so it makes sense you’d want to also create a dual-illuminant profile for general purpose use that has the same two lighting scenarios as Adobe used:  2850K and 6500K.  The 6500K is the tricky one because full sun is warmer, closer to 5000K, and you need the right amount of haze to create 6500K sunlight, unless you are using standard D65 bulbs, indoors, which is likely what Adobe does.
    I use a dual-illuminant profile for general purpose use, but since the WB-Tint values of both the tungsten and daylight ends are close to zero, lighting that has a tint not close to zero needs a separate profile.  The common example is the greenish light from fluorescents, and I have several single-illuminant profiles for various artificial lighting scenarios with WB-Tint values that are relatively non-zero.  I also have ones for very red sunsets and very blue twilight.  If I had studio lighting I’d make a profile for that.  Sometimes I make a custom profile for a church or other venue that has significant non-neutral walls or ceilings, or where sunlight through the stained-glass windows shining on the walls are giving a significant color-cast including a non-zero tint value to the lighting.  If you know you’ll be doing some shots near a large amount of tall, green vegetation then a custom color profile can correct for the green tinge to the ambient lighting coming down from above mixing in with the sunlight. 
    Adding to the suggestion about wearing neutral clothing, I’d argue for dark neutral clothing because something lighter clothing will reflect environmental colors (sunlit vegetation or brick walls, etc, outdoors) and not be neutral. 
    Besides non-neutral clothing, try to avoid areas that have green grass or tree leaves or brick buildings that also color the light and reflect off the colorchecker.   For the sunlit shots, I put my colorchecker face up on the sidewalk or parking lot, to avoid coloration from the grass and far away from trees or buildings especially in the direction I’m pointing the camera, so the only lighting is direct sun and ambient blue-sky, possibly diffused by hazy clouds.  I point the camera down at the colorchecker, at a 45-degree angle and at a compass direction and not directly toward the sun, nor directly away from the sun.  I try to shoot the target that is face up on the ground perhaps at a 90-degree angle from the sun to minimize any residual glare from the colorchecker’s slightly non-matte surface.  Obviously directly away from the sun, the color-checker will have my shadow on it or I will be blocking the light from the sky near the sun.
    I use the same sort of process for the tungsten end, choosing a room with neutral walls and put the target relatively flat on the floor facing up, perhaps tipped up somewhat toward the light, but not so much as to have any glare from the lighting, either, in other words, not with the lighting directly behind the camera, but somewhat over to the side.

  • Lync 2013 custom meeting requests and the CustomFooterText attribute

    Hi there,
    I've been playing around custom meeting requests in Lync 2013. I need to automatically add some lines of text for a Lync Meeting request, and have been using the CustomFooterText attribute. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to support carriage return
    so all the text is dumped onto one line... and looks very messy.
    I've read on one of the posts, that this field supports HTML, and have tried pasting in some HTML codes, but it's still rendered as text in Outlook.
    The only way I've managed to do this is to save the desired output as an image, upload it to a web server, and use the -LogoURL switch instead, which essentially inserts a graphic... not ideal, but works.
    Does anyone know of a way to insert carriage returns into the CustomFooterText?
    Regards, James.
    James Frost

    Hi James,
    I did some research and testing but found no way to add a carriage return to have this text respect the formatting as entered.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Tomcat 5.x, context.xml and the caseSensitive attribute.

    Hi,
    I have already configured a context.xml file in the CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost with the following content:
    <Context path="/mysite" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/mysite" reloadable="true"/>
    It is working, because the servlets can be reloaded after a modification. My goal is to make the URL recognition of the server for may web application case-insensitive. There is an attribute caseSensitive in the <Context> element? Is that right? And this can turn off case-sensitivity of this web application. This means it should also affect the URL recognition. But wen I change the line in the context.xml to
    <Context path="/mysite" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/mysite" reloadable="true" caseSensitive="false"/>
    and try to access the URL with different case then the original it does not find the page. Is this the right place to put the caseSensitive attribute?

    i am posting the Car.xml which i created in
    /conf/catalina/localhost directory in Tomcat 5.5.7
    ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <Context path ="/Car" docBase="C:\Program
    Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
    5.5\webapps\Car" debug="0" />Rather than have you working directory under webapps, you can have it elsewhere in your system and refer to it using the docBase attribute. For example, say you have your work directory in d:\work\car,
    then
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <Context  path ="/Car" docBase="d:/work/car"  />would suffice.
