Taking and deploying lenovo e540 image

Hi- I am trying to make a viable image from a lenove E540 Thinkpad using zcm 11.3. When deploying an image made from the factory installation I get only the blinking cursor after rebooting the target machine. I have checked to be sure the bios is set to both uefi and mbr and other bios settings. The OS is configured for MBR not GPT. Secure Boot is disabled.
There is no problem when using an image from a thinkpad with windows 7 configured from a normal windows 7 disc.
I am assuming the problem has to do with the MBR and so am thinking I should save a backup of the MBR as described here on page 161 sec 3.11.3
https://www.novell.com/documentation...ot_imaging.pdf
Does this strategy makes sense or is there something more straightforward? I have read that lenovo uses a non-standard linux boot record and that in ghost special switches need to be used in order to preserve it correctly. Is there something similar in ZCM 11.3?
Andrew

Thank you for your advice. It was a motherboard problem, but it is changed so everything works fine now

Windows 8.1 and Lenovo preloaded image - update to be available?

Hi,
I work for an organisation that buys a fair few Lenovo machines. We get them with whatever OS they are bundled with at the time and then install our own image. However, recent Lenovo machines seem to have had significant optimisations which can't be reinstated if you do a clean install, so we have been using the preloaded OS image as a base an deploying our applications on top.
Windows 8.1 looks like it may become suitable for wider use here, so I am wondering if an optimized Windows 8.1 preload will start to ship with Lenovo machines soon? And if the preload image might be available for customers who have a Windows 8 machine, to allow for a clean install without losing all the optimisations, so that we don't have to wait for the first Win8.1 machine to be delivered.
Thanks,
Richard

I think it's safe to say you'll start seeing Windows 8.1 preloaded system from Lenovo as soon as Windows 8.1 becomes generally available. And I think Microsoft has said this will happen sometime in October.
However Lenovo will not provide Windows 8.1 preloads for existing systems such as T430, W530, X230, etc. These systems will soon go end-of-life with the coming Haswell refresh. The Haswell systems will get Windows 8.1 preloads, but existing Ivy Bridge systems will not.
Having said that, I really don't understand what you mean about "significant optimisations which can't be reinstated if you do a clean install". Off the top of my head I can't think of anything that is preloaded that isn't available for download on our support website, except for some 3rd-party trial software like Norton, MS Office, and Absolute. Is there anything specific that you need help with recreating/reinstalling in your own image?

Display image in forms & reports developed on windows and deployed on Unix

Hi,
We are upgrading from Forms and reports 6i to forms10g.
We need to insert image in forms and reports. Recompile and deploy on unix server.
So can anyone let me know the exact steps to create jar file containing images, where to place the jar file.
Corresponding folder, file and configuration changes required on windows and unix.
Av.

Hi Frank,
thanks for the link it helped me in understanding how images work for forms.
But my real concern is how this will work in reports?
As we dont have any reportsweb.cfg nor any java path for reports?
Can you help me in understanding how to embed image in reports that will be displayed even after porting the report on unix oas.
Regards,
Av.

SCCM's OSD (not MDT): Task sequence can be tweaked into imaging Windows+VHD Native Boot, but can it go all the way and deploy?

Hello All,
What I am trying to do is use SCCM's own OSD Task Sequence / Windows PE to deploy an operating system that boots using VHD Native Boot. (C:\ = VHD File with Windows, D:\ Data drive with BCDBoot).
MDT 2013 Can do it I've been told, but I am putting off MDT until Windows 10 if I can get away with it.
TechNet VHD Native Boot on Windows 8.1:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825689.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825691.aspx
The good news is it is working up to the "Apply Operating System" phase, but that apply operating system phase is reported as an error even though it completes successfully. It can't clean up the SMSTS folder it's looking for on the C:\ because
it's been moved over to the D:\ by a diskpart script. We are left with the deployment working but requiring IT staff to deal with the OOBE Personalization wizard and adding each PC to the domain manually. From that point on the SCCM client can do the rest,
which works for US before we upgrade to Windows 10 with utilizing MDT.
I am not talking about deploying an OS to a VHD file and putting that file on a network share i.e.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2013/10/31/new-in-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager-deploying-an-operating-system-to-a-virtual-hard-drive-vhd.aspx
I reported getting the diskpart script working first here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff124f09-1d2e-4fc4-a5b6-63b683f3d208/native-vhd-boot-deployments-from-sccm-2012-r2?forum=configmanagerosd
Here it is:
rem work around any USB disk left in or any CDROM detected by PE as drive D
select volume D
assign letter=F noerr
rem select the formatted volume and reassign it's drive letter
select volume C
assign letter=D
rem create and setup VHD file
create vdisk file=D:\DEV_WIN81.VHD maximum=250000 type=expandable
select vdisk file=D:\DEV_WIN81.VHD
attach vdisk
create partition primary
active
format FS=NTFS quick label="Developer Win81 VHD"
assign letter=C
rescan
exit
(type=fixed is better for performance - we'll surely activate when we have dual boot 8.1 / Windows 10 later for the Win10 VHD's)
The Task Sequence looks like this:
I'd like to add a few more steps after apply operating system if I can, but I have to resolve this error with "Apply Operating system before I can go further."
Question:
Can an OSD guru tell me if there are any Task Sequence Variables we could throw at this to make the Apply Operating System sequence complete without error so we can do all SCCM OSD Deployment steps?
If we can, then someone (not me) gets to add a new TechNet blog post about this being possible. It's my understanding presently that only MDT can support deploying WIM files into VHDs on Workstations, that boot them.
The install image was created using dism to convert a VHD from a Hyper-V host into a wim. I know I'm meant to use SCCM to capture it, but I don't think that's causing this problem because when we are deploying from that image to a HDD without VHD we don't
get any issues.
I'm only allowed enough characters to paste the tail end of the apply operating system phase only:

I have already set it to FALSE. The solution to this will be some different OSD Task Sequence variables or a statement that it can't be made to work.
I believe that setting defines what volume will be the BOOT / OS Drive Letter. Some people were getting D:\WINDOWS as their boot volume drive letter. Setting to true means whatever was the System Drive letter (usually C) in the image will remain as such
after it was was applied, setting it to false will make the system have the same drive letter arrangement as what Windows PE detects. In my case I set it to false so that no matter what the new VHD file setup as drive C will be the system drive. I'll set it
to true on the next deployment but I expect there to be no difference, because in both PE and the WIM the installation volume is the C:.
We are talking about the DRIVE LETTERS Windows PE SCCM OSD is using for it's temporary files - and how we can manipulate these locations using OSD Task Sequence Variables, so the Apply OS doesn't try and clean up files that are not there
- and fail with an error if you have added a VHD Native Boot volume.
This OSDPreserveDriveLetter setting isn't having any effect on the problem here.
I believe that Format step is setting some task variables used by the OSD Deployment process - telling it where to store it's temporary files. However between the Format Disks and Apply operating system steps the OSD Task Sequence isn't picking up on the
fact what was the C:\ after Format HDD step is now the D:\ .
A developer who has an understanding of how the OSD boot process executes in order would be able to see what's going on here.

MDT : creating windows 7x64 images with required applications and deploying it

Hi,
We have to create windows 7 x64 and windows 8 images with all the custom applications and which can also be used on all the hardwares. I heard MDT can be used. How can I do this and what are the pre-requisites for installion and steps for configuring MDT
tool ?
do we need ADK for installing MDT ? I tried installing ADK ,but it says you need have ADK documentation_x86_en_us.msi.
Thanks.

For drivers, I have always used the .inf files.
For applications, it depends upon how you want to deploy them. Lots of people build their 'gold' image to contain all the applications they want installed, and then use that as a basis for deployment. Others build special scripts in to select
specific applications based on security groups.
The thing about MDT is that it is very flexible and can be adapted to a lot of different situations. You first need to define exactly how you plan to use it and then build your image(s) accordingly.
The guides you can find online will assist you in the specific steps for the solution option you chose. There is not a single, simple answer to cover all cases.

Imaging and deploying Win 7 using ZCM11 RC3

How do I use ZCM11 RC3 to image and deploy Win 7 over my network?
I have just installed ZCM11 on our servers here and have done the discovery and inventory process. I am new to ZCM and am not sure how to do the imaging? Nothing seems to happen when I select a workstation and choose it for imaging. Also wondering, where I could find some best practices that would help in the roll-out.
Thanks,
Jithin

Right now, I have mounted a volume to the 'content-repo\images' directory.
Another question is whether the image is HAL-dependent? Would I be able to load it to a different workstation with dissimlar hardware..Its just a base image with Win 7 - clean install. Thanks
As far as I know it's very tricky and maybe even not possible to do imaging without disabling firewall. What you could do is have a separate ZCM server that only does imaging..
If you run ZCM on linux then you might be able to mount a samba share or a different HD under /var/opt/novell/zenworks/content-repo/images/yoursmbshareorharddisk.
Use sysprep to create a "base" image and then use addon images that apply computer specific drivers.
There in an online traing course (ATT Online - Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 using ZENWorks Configuration Management) that walk you trough how to do this:
Novell North America Training Registration
Lab sessions include:
* Session 1. Configuring the Technician's Computer
* Session 2. Configuring ZENworks Configuration Management Personality Migration
* Session 3. Building the Sysprep XML Answer File
* Session 4. Configuring and imaging the Reference Computer
* Session 5. Creating add-on images using ZENworks Configuration Management Image Explorer
* Session 6. Deploying the new Windows 7 SOS environment with add-ons

Deployment of Slipstream Image

Hey Guys,
Trying to deploy an SOE image out that will intergrate certain ThinkVantage programs (Active Protection, Mobility Center etc)
I'm having some issues trying to rehide the Lenovo Recovery Partitions, both of them.
This SOE image will also intergrate other programs such as our Anti Virus solution, and Office 03.
I need a hand hiding the recovery partition like it should be.
A hand on that would be great
Cheers
PS.
Deployment will be taking place with Vista Business x32, on T500 MT: 8082 systems.

Are you using Ghost or other imaging tool? Please specify.

How to add a new Shared Variable programmatically to an existing and deployed library?

Hi there!
I am trying to accomplish this on both LabVIEW 8.6 and LabVIEW 2010 and seems like it's not any different in this situation.
My case: A project has a library with 4 Shared Variables (SVs). The library and the variables are deployed (visible in Distributed System Manager 8.6/2010). I want to add 2 more variables into this library. It is possible to do this manually from Project Explorer window's options menu. But while running an application it has to be done programmatically. Can I provide the library reference to the one currently existing without creating a new one?
"Create Or Add Library To Project" function in the Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) toolkit does not help in this case. That function, as the name suggests, just tries to create a new library in the project.
Two possible methods:
The function "Add Shared Variable To Library" (DSC>EngineControl>Libraries & Processes) needs a library reference, which could be provided via "CreateOrAddLibraryToProject" function, but this function tries to create a new library, and if I provide the path of the existing library it throws an exception that the library already exists in the project (yes, as I wrote above, I need to add new variables to an existing and deployed library).
OR
The function "Create Shared Variable" (DSC>EngineControl>Variables & I/O Servers) will add Shared Variable in a process, and not physically in a library file, and the problem (limitation) with this approach is that it doesn't allow to add complex data type Shared Variables (for example in LabVIEW 8.6 it has only 4 datatype options in input parameter, and even in LV2010 it does not have "Image" datatype that I need).
The scond method is my preferred method as it allows to work on Online Shared Variables and doesn't create them physically in libraries (and this is good as the variables' scope remains only till the Variable Engine is running). But it doesn't support advanced data types, and the first method is powerful in terms that it supports to virtually any datatype, it just seems tricky to get that reference to the library.
Any tips?
Thanks ahead!

<<<<>>>>
As the above two images show, while a library does not exist, it is easy to use the "CreateOrAddLibraryToProject.vi" which will add a new library to the project (if it doesn't exist on file system, a new library will be created) and that way, using the reference (the green wire going out from the function and the Case Structure, can be used to add Shared Variables to the library. The problem was what to do when a library already exists in the project, how to add more variables to it. I was looking for a way to get a library reference, and somehow I could not see it inside a Project's property (VI Server functions). Hence I posted the question. And upon continuing my search, I found it on the Application's property list.
I hope it was useful for someone else as well. And thanks for the replies. Please share a better idea if you have.

Uploading par files in nwds and deploying back

Hi all,
I wanted to work with the masthead iview in nwds, so found it on the server as the par file and imported it into NWDS. Changed the headeriview jsp and deployed it back to the portal. But it is not working. Saw in another sdn thread that when you create the project in nwds, it does not bring up all the components from the par file as required and some class files are missing. I think this is the problem in my case. The solution to it was not given in that thread.
Would anybody help please.
thanks.
Lm

Hi
the following are the steps to modify a masthead.
1.Find the PAR file and copied to a temporary directory and renamed to the customer namespace taking off .bak extension.
2.Import the PAR file now using File->import option.
3.make necessary modifications.
4.once the JSP is edited, the PAR file needs to be created ans uploaded to the portal.If JDK is installed just login into portal and deploy the pAR file otherwise use PortalAnywhere to deploy it.
5.Now goto Content Administration->Portal Content->right click the folder you wish to create the mastheadiView.Select New from Portal Archive-?iView from the context menu.Select new masthead.
6. select poratal component Default and choose next.
7.enter the properties for masthead and next.
8.edit the Iview and saved it.
9.add the iView to Framework Page in portal catalog and edit page layout.
10.select iView from catalog and add it as Delta link and position it accordin to your need.
Hope this helps you to modify the masthead.
Regards
Victoria

Windows 8.1 x64 blank start and apps screen after image

I am trying to build an image with SCCM 2012 R2 (CU1)
I have created a build and capture task, to create a base sysprep'ed Windows 8.1 wim image file. This runs successfully
If I try and deploy the image, it completes but when any user logs in, they get black desktop wallpaper and blank start and all apps screen. Also they are unable to right click on the start button.
I have run SFC /scannow command and rebooted, still the issue.
I have also build the machine from scratch using the dvd and I don't get the problem.
Thanks
Gareth

Hi,
Since the Windows 8.1.wim file is generated and ran successfully, also you build the image from the DVD, there is no problem, this problem might lie in the process you deployed it .
I think you have added some configuration or something like group policy during the deployment process to customize the wallpaper or desktop icon, System Center will give professional answer about this, I think you can post it at the System Center forum:

Lenovo special image of Ubuntu

Does anyone know where I can obtain the Lenovo-specific image of the Ubuntu 10.10 operating system? Ubuntu's site says there's a special version with the compatible hardware specs and software.
Here's a link to it:
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201102-7325
My brand-new computer is a Lenovo L420. I'm loving it so far, but I know it'll be extra-great when I can get Ubuntu running on it!

By this link, it seems there are lenovo's be released with preinstalled ubuntu but where?
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Lenovo
So your L420 may somewhere be coming preinstalled with Ubuntu.

Deployed Windows 7 Image failing to start -SCCM 2012 SP1

Hello, I am deploying windows 7 image using SCCM 2012 SP1, the installation goes thru fine but when it is in the process of restart, a blue screen is displayed for a split second and then it tries to reboot again with same results. Are there any logs on
the SCCM server I can check to see where the problem may be?

This generally means inaccessible boot device. How are you partitioning the drive and applying the image?
This is one way to do it

Downloaded a trial version of the "Living Earth Desktop" screensaver and cannot get rid of it. I deleted the download and cannot find it anywhere else on my mac. I will change the desktop image and the living earth image will pop back up minutes later.

Downloaded a trial version of the "Living Earth Desktop" screensaver and cannot get rid of it. I deleted the download and cannot find it anywhere else on my mac. I will change the desktop image and the living earth image will pop back up minutes later. Does anyone know how I can make this image stop taking over my desktop? Thanks!

This is the website.

IF you know the exact file name of the download, you can search for it in the spotlight.
(This icon) in the upper right corner.
If you don't know the exact file name, you may have to redownload it so you can see it.
I would also try doing a reboot after you change your desktop background to what you want.

Packaging and Deploying Weblogic Application

Hi,
I am having trouble in deploying a Weblogic application. I made a Web
application in Weblogic6.1 on Windows2000. The directory structure of my
JSPs, Images and Servlets are as follows:
JSPs - DefaultWebApp
JavaBeans(not EJB)(these JavaBeans are used by the JSPs as well as the
Servlet)
- DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf\Classes\Servletspkg\Loginpkg,
- DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf\Classes\Servletspkg\Workpkg, etc.
HTML - DefaultWebApp
Images - DefaultWebApp\Images
Servlets - DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf\Classes\Servletspkg
web.xml and weblogic.xml - DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf
The Web application runs fine. Now I want to package the above Web
application and deploy it under Solaris8 (Weblogic 6.1)( in another
machine.) I am not able to do that. I would be grateful if you could let me
know the steps involved in packaging and deploying.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
I deployed the webapp to the default webapp on solaris and it worked.
Thanks!

Hi.
Hmm, hard to say.
I notice in your deployment on Windows 2000 you deployed in the defaultwebapp,
but on solaris you deploy in 'test' webapp. I suspect this is the root ofthe
problem. Since you are having problems calling J2.jsp I wonder how youare
calling it. When calling from the default webapp you don't need tospecify a
webapp context in the url, but from test webapp you do (depending on howyou are
calling it - full url vs relative url).
So in summary consider 2 things:
1. how are you calling J2.jsp that might be different than how you callthe
servlet from J1.jsp?
2. what happens if you deploy your webapp to the default webapp onsolaris? my
guess is that this will work.
Hope this helps,
Michael

Hi,
I could finally deploy the web application on the Solaris machine. But I
am
not sure if I did the right thing. I followed the steps below:
1.I created a folder "test" under "config/mydomain/applications"folder.
2.I extracted the .war file in this folder which was successful.
3.Then I tried to run the application with the URL
http://localhost:7001/test
4. I got "J1.jsp" (located in "test" folder) as I excpected. This pagecalls
a servlet "ControllerServlet" located in folder
"test/WEB-INF/classes/servletspkg"
5. The servlet in turn calls another jsp page J2.jsp located in "test"
folder. This call is failing. I am getting 404 file not found error.
Please suggest what I should do.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Hi.
I need more detail here. When you say you can't deploy to solaris,
what
does
that mean? Do you get any errors/exceptions while deploying? If soplease
post the errors here. Or does it deploy ok but you can't access it?
