Urgent help needed with CP5 on Windows 7 64 bit and 'old' CP 5 projects.....

Hi,
I have a serious problem, at least the sympthoms are very serious.
I have worked on a lot of projects with CP 5 on Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
CP5 was installed on the default root C:\Programs....
These projects partially contained recordings (demos, assessments...) of applications running on a Windows XP 64 computer.
Projects stored on E:\.....
All was OK
THEN:
I upgraded my OS to Windows 7 64 bit a couple of days ago.
D: and E: partitions were untouched by the new OS install.
Intalled CP5 on D:\..... not on default path C:\Programs...as I want to keep C: as clean as possible out of performance reasons.
All is OK except that:
- MINOR ISSUE: the projects on in the browser do not show assosiation to CP5 graphically as they used to in front of project name, this is the same for all other MasterSuite CS5 (also installed on D:...) applications too:
- MAJOR ISSUE: the demonstrations run properly but the results of action are graphically misplaced after generating the project:
Recording new demo projects on my system and generating them is OK
Can you please help to clarify and find solution so that my projects run properly.
Thanks in advance for your FAST help!!!!!

Hi there
My gut tells me it's not so much an issue with Captivate as it may be an issue with the new Windows 7 setup. You might try right-clicking the Windows 7 desktop and choosing Personalize. Then in the lower left corner of the dialog, choose Display. See if you are configured for 100% or if it's something different. If it's something different, try choosing 100% and see if it helps.
Cheers... Rick

Slow Data Transfer on Server 2012 R2 Essentials - Can't Disable SMB Signing

I've seen several solve their slow file transfer rates by disabling SMB signing (that is, workstations connected to the server can move files from folder to folder, but it takes forever, whereas if one is logged onto the server through a third-party client
(like TightVNC), one can easily move files from folder to folder--no delay).
I thought I'd do the same as one of my clients is suffering this problem.
Unfortunately, the necessary items ("Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)" and "Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always)") are greyed out and I can't disable them. I'm logged in
under the administrator account.
Is there another work around?

Hi MarKomus,
à
Unfortunately, the necessary items ("Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)" and "Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure
channel data (always)") are greyed out and I can't disable them. I'm logged in under the administrator account.
Based on your description, I understand that you want to configure those two group policy settings in client
computer, and then find that they were greyed out and can't be disable.
Just addition, please logon your Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials via Administrator account. Then open Group
Policy Management Editor and follow the path: Computer Configuration-> Policies-> Windows Settings-> Security Settings-> Local Policies-> Security Options, then please check if that two policy settings had been defined and configured in the
DC.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.

Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

i owned a N900 (now sold out)
before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
urgent help needed
thanks in advance

The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

Server 2012-R2 essentials - installation issues

Hello!
I try to install server 2012 R2 essentials form a DVD on a HP microserver gen 8-G2020T and have some issues.
After “copying files” and “prepare files for installation” the server restarts. After the restart the server reboots from the DVD, but can’t find an operating system. The message is:
“An operating system wasn’t found. Try disconnecting any drives that contains no operating system. Press Alt-Ctrl-Del to restart”
The keyboard isn’t responding. I’ve tried to boot on the HDD, but this won’t work either.
The server has 4x HDD’s of 2 TB, which are configured as 2 arrays in Raid 1. (Configured in the standard HP-software) Array 1 is assigned to be the booted primarily. I passed the installation of the B120i drivers and the product key.
Can anybody tell me what went wrong?
thanks a lot!

URGENT HELP NEEDED ... Tomcat Realm and JRE1.4 plug-in problem

I have tried the Security Realm of Tomcat. Since I do not have
an LDAP server, I decided to use the Tomcat-users.xml file in
Tomcat\conf directory.
I added the following lines of code in the web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>

<role-name>webviewer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
</login-config>
The <role-name> "webviewer" is added into "Tomcat-Users.xml" as the following:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="test" password="password" roles="webviewer" />
</tomcat-users>
So, now when we type the url: http://localhost:8080/adbpdbre/default.htm, TOMCAT shows a dialog box asking for UserName: and Password:Now, only when we give the username and password, it shows the page. This is exactly what we want.
But the problem now is, this default.htm page, has 5 links to 5 applets. The first time that I click on one of these links, the JRE plug of 1.4 shows a dialog again asking for the username and password. Till I dont provide the username and password the system doesnt go ahead and applet doesnt load. I do not want the JRE to ask me for the username/passwords again..How to avoid this ?
Can you give me some more information on this. Ultimately in the production usage, we will be using LDAP and not Tomcat's memory realm.
URGENT HELP NEEDED ... I need to get back to my client on this.
Help would be v. much appreciated.

In the config file, you 're essentially saying that you want Tomcat to prompt for usr/passw on every request (url-pattern = /*) made by a 'webviewer', and that's exactly what Tomcat is doing.
Consider using specific url-patterns & roles for resources to be protected. If for now, all you need is to protect the first page, use a more specific url-pattern.
Just an advice : if you'll be using LDAP in production, do not waste time with Tomcat's Security Realm and the BASIC authentication type, since the two have not much in common. Start reading doc on LDAP, and code a prototype, or even better, a vertical slice of the app (i.e a proof of concept).

A few bumps from whs to Server 2012 R2 Essentials

I'm a typical WHS user looking to upgrade (non-business use) for a simple storage area and being able to back up the laptops and PCs in the house.
Problem not solved:
Perhaps not a Server 2012 r2 Essential problem but my WDTV Live can't access the shared folders. After installing the media server add-on for Server R2 Essentials the WDTV Live is able to see the server via the media server but its messy and cluttered and
also reports no media found within folders.
With WHS I was able to view the shared folders easily. Have not been able to enable the shared folders with the WDTV Live...
Big thanks for any help, Microsoft Server 2012 R2 Essentials seems like overkill for home use but I'm really liking it.

Thank you very much for the reply.
I have installed Serviio and things seem somewhat better, just getting Serviio's preferences setup. Dont' need artists/date/etc. info and I'm setting it in preferences.
Just need a simple media folder structure:
Video folder/Videofile + Videofile.jpg
Picture Folder/JPGs
Music Folder/MP3s
Was hoping share folders would be the simple way to go but WDTV still can't access shared folders from server.
Don't really need transcoding because WDTV handles the x264 and VLC handles it on the family PCs.
So close to finish now, I'll bug in another thread about anywhere access as it's just a bonus and not really needed.
Again, thank you for help, just need to figure out how to un-install the microsoft media server now...

Windows 8.1 pro client on a Windows server 2012 R2 Essentials domain, how to change lock when idle?

Hi,
I need to find out how to do something?
I have Windows 8.1 pro running on my PC and its part of a domain which is Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, it all runs perfectly except for a little niggle where my Win 8.1 PC locks after its not used for a short time. What I want to find out is
how to change this so it no longer locks when idle? I know this is a security feature but as its just my home pc it can be very annoying to log in again after walking away from the PC for a few min's.
I've had a look through the default domain policy but there are so many settings that I can't find it, that's even if there is a setting there?
Anyway can anyone help?
Thanks
JK

Hi,
We can try to implement by use High performance power plan or GPO to prevent computer from locking down:

Unscheduled additional backups in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

I have a strange problem since upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. My server is on a lightly used Home network which I run for two periods totalling 8 hours each day. Whenever the server is re-started it immediately begins a Server Backup;
not a great problem in itself but the 'unscheduled' backups prevent the Scheduled backup from operating and often cannot complete before the next Shut Down controlled by Task Scheduler. I presume that R2 has added an extra trigger for the Backup but I can
only find the trigger for my scheduled once-per-day Backup. Can anyone please point me towards the trigger for these unwanted backups. Thanks in advance. Keith Woolf

Hi,
Please perform a
clean boot to troubleshoot
your issue and check if it caused by other software.
You may collect some backup logs to narrow down this issue. By default, tracing is enabled in Windows Server Backup to preserve logs. These traces will be present in files
under the following directory: %windir%\logs\windowsserverbackup
You can use some tools such as
tracerpt
command to export the .etl file into a .txt file. Please check if you can find waht is the root trigger that triggers this unscheduled backup.
Meanwhile, please check the schedule task for the scheduled backup if it was configured correctly. You can clear up and recreate, then please check if this issue still exists.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

How can I upgrade Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials?

I have just installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials on my Home Network (from the installation DVD). I have done absolutely no configuration Installing Server 2012 was an oversight; I meant to install Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
I tried to correct by installing R2 from its DVD, hoping it would do an upgrade. That didn't work.
Is there a simple way to make it possible to install the correct OS?   For example, can I just demote the existing server and remove any roles that were installed, so that the R2 disk will install over top of the existing installation?
Alternatively, is it safe to just reformat the partition and install R2?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn408635.aspx seems to imply that this is OK.
David Pike, P.Eng, MCITP

Hi Larry.   Thanks for the reply. It didn't work, but I don't believe you are wrong. Rather I think there is something weird in my system. I'm marking your reply as answer.
Some background: I'm repurposing an older PC (Compaq SR1614X) as a home server, to manage my home network, use as a gateway to my Azure server, and to help my Server 2012 training (on MVA). I've been messing with it for nearly two months,
on and off. From the start, I've had trouble installing the server 2012 software (see previous threads August-27 and August-16
), but when I got to the point that I could install Server 2012 Essentials, I thought I could upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Essentials exactly as you suggest. That was where you helped me a lot, i.e. you confirmed that my expectations were reasonable.
So when it didn't work, I spent most of yesterday trying various different procedures. I got tantalizingly close, but still no cigar.
I can install any Windows Client and Server 2012 Essentials, but the R2 Essentials installation never finishes; it goes into an "error 0x000000C4" boot loop. At first I wondered if it was because I was installing a server over a
server, but you confirmed that's not the issue. I later verified that I cannot install R2 over Windows 7 either, whereas R1 over Win7 is fine. I can only surmise one of two problems:
I have a bad installation disk
There is a hardware issue
I plan to eliminate (1) by creating a new disk from a new download. I have verified that the latest ISO file and the one I have been using have identical byte counts,
For (2), I had suspected that the problem was that the older system has no UEFI, but since R1 installs OK, I am discounting that. Today's effort: to eliminate the DVD drive, I will try booting from a Flash Drive. To eliminate
the hard drive, I will try installing to a different drive.
I am hoping you can help with one more thing. When I run setup.exe with the /noreboot option, I have a better chance of success. The option suppresses the first reboot only, but that one (after "Expanding the setup files") always
fails, so suppressing it gets me almost to the end of the install. Is there a way to modify setup.exe so the it always runs with the /noreboot option?

Azure backup options for Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Hello,
I have configured a new on-prem HP server for a very small (5 users) non-profit client. This is a single server environment, and they use Office 365 for email. I have already configured AD Sync between the two with dirsync. I have installed the Azure agent,
and imported the certificate, and I am ready to create a backup set.
This is my first experience with Cloud based server backup - I'm used to products like Backup Exec and tape media. What are my options for backing up this server? Can I only do file/folder backup, as it appears?
What would be best practice in this situation, as I need to back up the systems state as well? And then, how to restore it?
All I can think of would be to use Windows Server backup to create a backup of the server, then back that up - but it's so messy, I must be missing something.
Thank you in advance!!

Hi,
You may refer the following link for clear step-by-step procedure on Azure backup:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2014/05/01/configuring-microsoft-azure-online-backup-on-windows-server-2012-r2-essentials.aspx
As of now, you can only backup File & folders(Even entire drive) but you cannot perform System State backups with Azure Backup.
For System State backup, as you mentioned about using WSB and then backing it up to Azure Backup vault may be the only work-around as of now. However, you may vote and provide feedback for this feature in
here.

Windows Backup Retention: Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Hi,
We are backing up a Server 2012 R2 Essentials machine's files and folders, using Windows Server Backup, to an external hard drive. That backup drive is now 84% full. It is my understanding that Windows Server Backup will automatically delete old backups
when necessary, but does anybody know at what point that happens? When the target reaches 90%?
Thanks.

Hi,
Windows Server Backup will delete oldest backup when there is no enough space for storing a new backup.
You can also manually delete old backups with one of the following 2 methods - you can create a schedule so old backups will be deleted automatically before or after new backups created.
See:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/62488e7a-4638-430c-950c-e75ac42b0fa3/how-a-can-delete-old-versions
1. Deleting System State Backup: wbadmin delete systemstatebackup –keepversions:10
The above command will keep the latest 10 versions and delete the rest all the system state backups.
2. Deleting other backups: Backup application stores multiple backup versions in the VSS shadow copies. Hence, older backup version can be deleted by deleting older shadow copy. Commands to list and delete VSS shadow copies are
below. They need to be run in an elevated command window.
· vssadmin list shadows /for=x: – for listing the snapshots on x: where x: is the backup location
· vssadmin delete shadows /for=x: /oldest – for delete the oldest shadow copy. It can be called multiple times in case there is need to delete multiple older backups.
Note: wbadmin get versions or backup UI would still report deleted backups until next backup runs. At end of each backup – non-existent backups are removed from the backup catalog.

Cannot activate HP ROK license on Server 2012 R2 Essentials Evaluation

Hi!
Ive bought a HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 and installed the Server 2012 R2 Essentials
evaluation, because I couldnt recieve my license in time.
Ive now recieved my Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials ROK HP but cannot activate the license.
Due to my knowledge it should be possible. I dont want to reinstall my server :-
"(For Windows Server 2012 Essentials: You can convert to the full retail version by entering a retail, volume license, or OEM key in the command slmgr.vbs."
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574204.aspx
Please help!

There's no way I know to convert from an eval license to a ROK license. The HP ROK media needs to be installed on the server in order to use the ROK license. In fact, if the operating system is installed using the ROK media, the installation
should be pre-activated and no post-installation activation should be required. I'm afraid a reinstall using the ROK media may be your only option.

Join multiple Server 2012 R2 essentials to a domain

Hi to all
I was looking at the anoucement that it is now possible to connect multiple essential servers to a single office 365 environment. Glad to hear that as I'm planning to implent several essential servers to a single company that is spreaded over several locations.
Reason for this, is that each branch only has up to 12 employees.
I wanted to ask if it is still not possible to connect several essential servers into a single domain? As example having one main office with essential (or even standard) and adding branch offices to the domain, each with essentials.
Or would I need Windows Server Standard and add the essential mask on it to make this work?
Thanks for your input

Hi geocast,
Would you please let me confirm whether it's Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter with the Windows Server Essentials Experience role installed or just Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
Please refer to following articles and check if can help you.
Add Windows Server Essentials as a Member Server

with Windows Server Essentials Experience role in an Existing Active Directory Environment
