Unable to remove printer connection from GPO

Hi,
I have been diagnosing really slow logons on a windows 7 laptop and when looking through the GPO's I found one that is connecting a non-existant printer.
I can see it in the settings tab preview listed under User>Policies>Windows Settings>Printer Connections but when I navigate the GPO to that location there is no "Printer Connections" branch.
I didnt add this originally and cannot figure out how to remove it.
The domain was 2003 and is now 2008 level.
Can anyone help me out here?
I cant deleted and re-create the GPO.
Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.
Vince

Hi akavintz,
Based on my test, the path of the GPO which is User>Policies>Windows
Settings>Printer
Connections cannot be found. Would you like to provide the screenshots of the settings of the GPO in GPMC and the configuration of the path in Group Policy Management Editor to help us to troubleshoot this issue?
In addition, the responding register key for printer mappings is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Connections. You can try to delete the entries under this key to resolve the slow logon
issue.
Note: Backup the Registry Key. You should backup this key to be safe in case you delete the
wrong one.

Hi Jurgen,
when i check the material document and accounting document,it was showing that said amount in negative sign and transaction done by MI10 means posted differences with out reference to document.
it means the user may entered wrongly i think.
was there any GRIR account for MI10?
MI10 does not have reversal or cancel?
so how to resolve it?
as per my idea it can be done by FI posting.
please help to resolve.
Thanks in advance.

Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
Error (2606)
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
Recommended Action
To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
I received this error back:
Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server. After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
Here are my server details
VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

Hi there,
How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
Thanks!

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
*Edited*
When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach. A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group. If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.
Click on Install a printer on a home network to get basic steps to install a printer in a network environment.

Title: Error: Access is denied, unable to remove printer and also unable to install programs

Hi Tony,
Please assist me with the following information releted to this issue:
1. Is your computer and printer connected on a network or domain?
2. Are you logged in as an administrator on the computer?
3. Which are the programs which you are not able to install on your computer and also provide us the exact error whne you try to install the programs?
I would suggest you to refer to the suggestion provided by Waseemulla Shariff replied on March 17, 2012 in the following link:
Once you successfully delete the printer, you may try to install the printer drivers from your printer manufacturer website and check the functionality. Refer to the following link:
If you are not able to install any program on your computer, I would suggest you to refer the suggestions provided by Sandeep Dsouza replied on June 13, 2012 in the following link:
Hi Yaqub
Domain
Yes administrator
If I try to remove the printer icon I get a warning access denied and then the printer is off line and cant be restored to default or used / I had to restored windows and now are able to print / fax / copy but still no scan
I then followed to the letter un plugging the printer / removing all drivers which I don't think worked / re installing from the web site / only to be told down load unsuccessful with a red cross next to the driver downloads
So nothing seems to work / I tried the suggestions for Waseemulla / Sandeep still nothing

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

Unable to view/print pdf from Banks website.

I am unable to view/print pdf files from banks website, a white blank screen appears. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe multiple times. I'm running Windows Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader XI. I am able to view/print these files from a different computer and save them to a flash drive. I am then able to open the files on my computer directly from the flash drive. I am thinking maybe I have a setting enabled/disabled somewhere??

Thank you for your response. Please be patient with my ignorance--I am not a power user.
1)I do not know what you mean when you direct me to open the PDFs within Reader. I typically do open PDFs that are already stored in my files on my computer, but I don't know how do vies/download pdfs that I need to view or download from the Web from within Reader. Can you please tell me the steps involved?
2) Do you happen to know whether this is a new development with Chrome? I have been using both Chrome and Adobe Reader seamlessly for several years with no issues.

How to edit Printer Connections in GPO created through Print Management's "Deploy with Group Policy"

Hi there,
I have used the right-click "Deploy with Group Policy" in Print Management on Windows Server 2012 to deploy a printer connection to a GPO.
When you look at the GPO Settings, the Printer Connection is visible under User Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Printer Connections -> Path: \ \ printserver\PrinterName.
However, I cannot edit or delete that Printer Connection Path, which would be necessary if I had to rename or delete the printer referenced. If you Edit the GPO, "Printer Connections" is not available under Windows
Settings, only Scripts, Security Settings, Folder Redirection, and Policy-based QoS.
Is there a way to edit the GPO's Printer Connections that are created with "Deploy with Group Policy"?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
How do you want to edit the printer connection? Do you want to edit the path of printer connection?
Based on my test, we can’t edit the printer connection directly in GPO. We can edit the path of printer connection in printer management.
For detail steps, we can refer to the method Miles Zhang provided in the following link:
Where is "Printer Connections set"?

Removing print drivers from Leopard

is it a)advisable and b)easy to remove unwanted printe drivers from Leopard's Library folder?

The printer folder is 2.7gb big, and I only use an Epson and/or a Lexmark, so I thought I might free up space to create an eDrive for TechTool. David Pogue's useful book on Leopard says you just trash unwanted drivers, but an article I just read online at Peachpit says that this can cause printing problems so I have a twinge of nervousness

Unable to remove mozilla folder from C:\Users\Username\Appdata\

We're trying to remove Firefox as its messing with the roaming profiles on the server,
we're unable to remove the following folders
c:\program files (x86)\mozilla firefox
c:\users\username\appdata\mozilla,
error message says need permission from administrators (we're logged in as full domain administrator)

The problem lies in the administration patches. Somewhere one or more of the security updates was missed or ignored. The admin pointers to the permissions on the stack in the HAL layer are pointing to a NULL field. This is a common problem with MS(c) based OS's. Solutions: (1) Remove and Re-apply security updates in order. (2) reload and allow the OS' to catch all the updates. (3) Scream at MS(c) until they tell you what update you missed.

Hoiw to remove print job from queue?

How can I remove a "print job" from the queue. Selecting "cancel all printing jobs" will not remove it. It says it is deleting, it is not doing anything.   Help please.    As long as this job is showing the printer will not print anything else.

Hi Betty,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
The job queue may be stuck.
Switch off the printer
IF you are running a notebook, first do this:
Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
Boot the computer and log in
OR
If you are not running a notebook, just
Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
stop all your running programs,
shut down completely
Boot the computer and log in
Switch on the printer and wait until it is all back up and running.
That probably won't fix the queue, but it will clear the rest of the cobwebs.
Next, try this:
Control Panel> icon view > Administrative Tools> Services>
Click on Name to sort the column alphabetically >
Scroll down and look for Print spooler> Highlight Print Spooler>
Click Restart the service

Unable to remove credit card from Apple Pay

I'd like to remove my credit card from the Apple Pay application on my iPhone 6. The instructions say to touch the card in the Passbook and then click on the "i." Then scroll down and touch "Remove Card." I tried that but the Remove Card link is not "hot," that is, nothing happens when I touch it.
Any suggestions or "work-arounds" to remove my card from the application?

I only had one card in Apple Pay and I decided to remove it. I did ao without issue. I did it on my iPad Air 2, not on my iPhone 5S which does not have Apple Pay. My point is that I only had one card in Apple Pay, not multiple cards.
Do you have any restrictions set that would prevent account changes. Settings>General>Restrictions.

Shared Services 11.1.2 Unable to remove assigned user from a security group

In Shared Services 11.1.2 - trying to remove a user from the assigned users list of a security group. Initially, I am able to remove the user and the assigned users total decreases by one - but when I relaunch the group properties - this user is still in there? The change does not hold. Any suggestions would be appreciated - thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul,
Not sure if this is related to yours, but it might be worth having a look at the following articles on Oracle support --
External users in EPM Shared Services (e.g. MSAD users) cannot be removed from Native groups if they have multiple IDs in the external user directory. [ID 1526569.1]
Users from External User Directories Cannot be Removed from Native Groups [ID 1272309.1]

Unable to remove my photo from outgoing email

I was playing with Photobooth, and somehow I inadvertently changed some setting that results in a photo of myself being attached to every email message I send. Nowhere in Help does it tell me how to undo that. In fact, I would like to remove the photo from my Admin account also. When I sign into it to make changes, there is no way to do that. Any ideas??

I couldn't figure out a way to remove it, but I made it disappear by taking a small screen shot (command-shift 4) of a white space in a document. This creates a photo which you can then choose in Addressbook or your Accounts Pref. pane to replace the unwanted photo that appears in sent mail. It's still there but you can't see it.
