Unable To Set Workgroup or Computer Description

Hi,
I've got a issue where windows 8 won't let me set a workgroup.  This all started when I was unable to open a webpag with the web address and but could get to a webpage with the IP address.
I came across a article that with the same symptoms and the fix was that it didn't have a workgroup or computer description. 
The problem I have now is that I can get the workgroup as WORKGROUP and put in the computer description & full name but when I go and check it after reboot in system all it has is computer name and the rest of the fields say Not Available.  But
when you go to change settings it has all the details that I had put in.

Hi,
According to the description you posted, this issue should lie in an offline service or network discovery problem. To ensure that the workgroup can be detected, please check these items listed below and make sure the status is right:
Go to Control Panel, then Network and Sharing Center:
1.Make sure that the Network Discovery is ON
2. Set the Network set to Private
3. File Sharing is: On
4.Public Folder Sharing: ON
Besides, if the settings listed are done, try the way below to re-create a new workgroup:
1. Open System by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search.
2. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, tap or click Change settings.
3. In the System Properties dialog box, tap or click the Computer Name tab, and then tap or click Change.
4. In the Computer Name/Domain Changes dialog box, under Member of, tap or click Workgroup, and then do one of the following:
To create a new workgroup, enter the name of the workgroup that you want to create, and then tap or click OK.
You can also follow the link below for details about re-creating a new workgroup.

    Both of these settings are part of the Basic Setup of the camera'a web site.
    Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

  • [CUPS] Unable to set my new CUPS server with an HP printer (solved)

    Hello,
    I come from Gentoo and I just installed my new Arch Linux server on a notebook with 2 NIC ... Now, I'm trying to set the CUPS deamon to share printer (HP DESKJET 895Cxi) for 3 workstations in my LAN. Before, it was working (printer and linux ... has never been very good...). But now, I'm not able, and it's about 1 hour I'm looking for a stupid error that I don't know if it's important or not ...
    (all is on my Wiki : http://pix-mania.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cups)
    Here are a list of installed package : cups ghostscript gsfonts hplip
    The printer (USB) :
    (lsusb)
    Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03f0:0004 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 895c
    (dmesg)
    usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
    usblp0: Disabling reads from problematic bidirectional printer
    usblp0: USB Unidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x0004
    Current configuration (only change made to original configuration) :
    Listen <ip_serveur>:631
    <Location />
    Order allow,deny
    Allow From all
    </Location>
    <Location /admin>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow From all
    </Location>
    <Location /admin/conf>
    AuthType Default
    Require user @SYSTEM
    Order allow,deny
    Allow From all
    </Location>
    When starting cups service, all is fine : I can use a workstation to browse the Web Interface ... but printer seems to be not detected since it tells "No printers." when clicking on "Printers" tab. So, I go to "Administration" tab and, under "Printers", I click the "Find New Printers" and again, it says : "No printers found.".
    Not goot ... so, like I was doing with Gentoo, I click on "Add Printer" ... then, I receive a redirection to HTTPS ... click on the link (or wait) and nothing happend (timed out): web interface is broken for HTTPS ... I really got no idea why HTTPS is not working .
    After that, when updating the configuration (with vim) and restarting the service, deamon won't stop and I have to send a "kill -9" to the cupsd pid ...
    I look in log and I can just see this :
    E [09/Jan/2011:18:19:55 +0100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
    I googled for one hour, but is not more working right now ...
    Some questions :
    - the printer is not detected? Is it because of the ACLs errors ?
    - what the hell is "ACLs" for cups ? Never seen that before ...
    So, right now, I got a working HTTP but not working HTTPS, with no printer available ... very useless
    This printer is working "well" with cups, since it's an old model and it's a HP printer, so is "fully?" working on Linux ...
    Any idea on what to do/try now ?
    EDIT: after that message, I just refresh the page (I'm using Chromium) and ... magically, HTTPS was working (after accept untrusted certificate for HTTPS?) ... Then, go back to "Find New Printers" and now, it was working. Printer has been added ... Seems to be OK, but the "Print Self Test Page" doesn't work right now because of this :
    Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-command'!

    EDIT3: I tested the ppd from cups (and not hpijs) and got the same problem ... The latest idea was to unplug USB and plug to another USB ... and it seams to works ... Now, the test page print "fine" ...
    So, I shared the printer over my LAN, and tried to print from a workstation ... it works fine now ... when looking error_log, I can see than there is no more Ghostscript error .
    But I have a last question .. if somebody can answer ... When choosing a PPD file, I have the choice between 3 version :
    - hpijs, 3.10.9
    - hpijs, 3.10.9.11
    - hpcups, 3.10.9
    Don't know why onlyl the HPIJS got the ".11" and not any others ... I selected this one and here is what Cups say about the printer :
    HP_DeskJet_895C_USB_ES29Z231JKGO_HPLIP HP DeskJet 895C Local Printer HP Deskjet 895c hpijs, 3.10.9.11 Idle - "ready to print"
    I hope when upgrading the system, I will not get error from PPD file not found ... With my current PPD file, I get (really not sure) this error, but print is working so, it doesn't matter :

    WD and their lack of support for Mavericks:
    A recent email from WD reads:
    Dear WD Registered Customer,
    UPDATE: November 1st, 2013
    As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wd.com/country/ for further assistance.
    The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years. However, solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue.
    Sincerely,
    Western Digital
    Which is basically Western Digital informing you that their out-of-date utilities don’t support Mavericks.
    In any case those utilities are not the most effective. The moral of the story is: the first thing you should do after buying a WD drive is to format it as HFS Extended (Journaled) and not install ANY of their utilities but instead use reliable applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper - or Time Machine.

  • Auto-populate Computer Description Fields in AD Console

    Hi guys,
    I need some help with populating computer descriptions in AD.  I have searched this on google numerous times and everytime I find a script there are loads of comments with "changes" saying it doesn't work.
    What I am looking for in the description field is the last logged in user and the date and time of when they logged in.  Now as we don't have multiple tenant machines this only needs updated every few days.
    I want a solution really to find machines that aren't used, as the IT asset register is severely out dated! Plus this is always a handy feature to have for future reference.
    If anyone knows of a script online somewhere or has one they use successfully I would greatly appreciate it and also some advice on how to deploy it (I know it gets added in to GPO but not 100% sure how).
    Thanks

    To track user logon / logoff, you can simply refer to what I shared here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx
    If you want to populate the collected information and put it in the Description field, you can simply use a Powershell script that reads the CSV files and set the value using
    Set-ADComputer cmdlet: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617263.aspx
    To identify obsolete computers, you can refer to lastlogontimestamp
    attribute value: http://blog.mattvogt.net/2011/10/06/powershell-last-logon-timestamp-for-single-ho/

  • Unable to set browser preview options

    I posted this a few days ago and didn't get any responses, so
    am trying again in case I'll have better luck today. :-)
    I hope someone can help because this problem, which suddenly
    occured, is makign it impossible for me to do any work in
    Dreamweaver and that's driving me crazy... :-0
    Thanks!
    I feel a bit silly about this - but for some reason I am
    unable to set the browser preview options in my preferences. I'm
    using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac OX10.3.9, and trying to designate
    Firefox 1.5 as my default primary browser, and Safari 1.3.2 &
    IE5 as secondary options. When I first open Dreamweaver I get a
    message saying 'Unable to read Preview in Browser Preference.
    Please remove all browsers form the list and add them again". So I
    remove them all and when I try to add them back, none of my choices
    show up in the box. Then I restart and the old ones are still
    there. If I try to change the check in the box that indicates
    primary or secondary browsers, my program crashes. Anyone have a
    clue what's going on? Thanks so much for any help...

    This - file:///ether/Patricia Yenawine/images/oxblood_med.jpg
    - tells me
    that your local root folder is on a network shared drive. I
    am guessing
    that your problem stems from the fact that network
    permissions/protocols are
    interfering with your ability to successfully write your
    cache files and
    your browser preferences.
    Do you have the same problem with sites that are truly local
    to your
    computer?

  • I am unable to set my WD mybook world edition (white light) for time machine.

    I have new iMac running OS X Mavricks 10.9 and a WD mybook world edition (white light) connected via eithernet to router.
    I am unable to set up time machine using this drive. 
    I can see the MyBookWorld drive in Finder and read and write files with no problems.  I can also see the MyBookWorld_Backup drive but I am unable to connect.
    Time machine can see the drive but when I select, use drive, it trys to connect and gives me an error message: There was a problem connecting to the server "MyBookWorld-Backup"
    I have already updated the hardrive firmware.
    Any ideas?

  • Illustrator CS4 problem loading: unable to set max files...

    Haven't opened AI CS4 in a few months. Used to load just fine. Today it crashes when loading and I get this error message: 'Unable to set maximum number of files to be opened.' I'm running OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook. The rest of the CS4 suite opens just fine. I have already removed the preference file for Illustrator out of the user library and also removed the 'com.adobe.illustrator.plist' file. Restarted computer. Still can't open the program.

  • When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel

    When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel..Does anyone know how to resolve?

    Hi,
    It seems that Captivate is not downloaded completely. Only one file is downloaded(i.e. .exe) , .7z file is missing.  You can follow the below instructions to download Captivate 7 via direct links.
    In order to download Adobe Captivate 7.0 Windows English, open the link mentioned below and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
    Once you sign In with your Adobe Id and password, you will be redirected to Adobe Captivate 7.0 download page, Do not click on download. Kindly stay on that page and paste the below two links on the Trail Page Address Bar  one by one and save the files on your system at same location:
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.7z
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.exe
    When both the files finish downloading, then run the second file (.exe) which will start extracting the first file (.7z) and will start installing Adobe Captivate 7.0 on your computer.

    Mayank

  • Unable to set requested sample format on soundcard

    Hello friends.
    I'm having a nightmarish relationship with my usb soundcard on various linux distributions from the day i started to use linux. After getting pops, clicks, soundcard not starting until i unplug it and plug it in again, system starting internal soundcards instead of the usb one (even when i set it as the main one) etc. I am now faced with a new challange it seems.
    When i try to play csound file, it gives me an error saying that:
    unable to set requested sample format on soundcard
    When i try to play the speaker-test -c 2, it says:
    sample format not avaivable for playback
    This all happend after i created a .asoundrc file, which (it seems) fixes the issue of the system randomly picking which card it likes to boot, but now i'm unable to play anything.
    Does anyone have any hints?

    As for the applications, it doesn't matter if I use 44100, 48000, or any other sample rate, it gives the same output.
     That does not make any sense: ~/.asoundrc holds alsa configuration, /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf or similar holds modprobe configuration. There is no need for ~/.asoundrc, as of this point. Is the usb sound cardconstantly plugged in? The sample rate matters for quality.
    Edit: Please post your ~/.asoundrc and modprobe configuration files, maybe I misunderstood it.
    First my settings.
    1) .asoundrc file:
    pcm.!default{
    type hw
    card USB
    ctl.!default{
    type hw
    card USB
    2) alsa-base.conf file:
    options snd-usb-audio index=-1
    3) output of :
    $ cat /proc/asound/card*/id
    NVidia
    USB
    4) output of:

    5) out put of:
    lspci -nn | grep -i audio
    01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 HDMI Audio Controller [10de:0e1b] (rev a1)
    I have a Scarllet 2i2 usb audio card and have disabled the motherboard audio card in the bios, however i have no idea what this NIVIDIA GK107 is.
    My usb card doesn't start when i boot the computer, so i have to manually unplug the usb connection and plug it back in again. This has been the case on almost all linux distributions i tried, i think only in fedora it booted with the computer once or twice. However after initial boot if i only restart the computer, i don't have to unplug and plug the sound card again, it's only when i turn off the computer and turn it on again.
    My usb card loaded up fine with the alsa-base conf for dozen of times, but all of a sudden it refuses to load as the default card and in alsamixer i get that NVIDIA thing as my default card, which i can't change. Because of that, i created a  .asoundrc file, which makes the system load my usb card as the primary device, however, then i cannot play or do anything with audio, as the system is unable to control it. When i was talking about output, i meant the error outputs, not the sound, as there is no sound output (i understand what sample rate does, it just doesn't matter if i set it to 44100, 48000, or 96000, the errors still say, that the programs cannot set the sample rate).
    As for /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf - i have no such file in my system. And i cannot set it as you proposed, since "lspci -nn | grep -i audio" only shows the output of that NVidia thing.
    P.S. sorry for the late response rate, as i just got back from a 24 hour shift and thank you for your answers.

  • Unable to set safari in full-screen mode

    Hi folks,
    I just factory reset my 15-inch MBP running 10.9.3. After doing so, I notice that I am unable to set Safari in full-screen mode. Any ideas??

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`.

    When starting Server Preferences, I receive a window with the following text:Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`. There may be an error with the Open Directory Service.
    This started to occur after I used the command changeip to change the ip of the service.
    I've tried (Re)starting Open Directory Service, but that doesn't resolve it.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this error? I'd like to be able to user Server Preferences again!

    One of our servers (10.6.8)  that had been running for months suddenly started generating that error message when trying to access Server Preferences.  Workgroup Manager, which seems to use the same login information, accessed just fine. We tried deleting access information in Keychain, to no avail. What finally worked for US was:
    - Via Server Admin, (in Open Directory > Settings > General) change the Role: Open Directory from Master to Standalone
    - This (for us) then restored access to Server Prefs
    - Use Server Admin to change the Role back to Master
    Warnings - 1)  backup first  2) you will have to reinstall the master password, and  3) ALL accounts were lost and had to be recreated.

  • "Unable to set directory" on Seagate 500gb Backup Plus USB Hard Drive

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro as of today, I'm upgrading from windows, and I'm having issues trying to set up my external hard drive to download torrent files. I know with Windows, I can plug in the hard drive cfrom windows computer to another windows computer and have no issues with downloading torrent files. When I tried to get the torrent to download a file onto the external hard drive I recieved this error message:
    Unable to set directory
    Don't have enough permissions to write to '/Volumes/Seagate Backup Plus Drive'. Please choose another directory.
    I'm currently using uTorrent to download Bit Torrent files. I also tried to move files already on the external hard drive into another folder on the same hard drive, and it will not allow me to move the files.
    I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution to this problem?

    I managed to fix the issue

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
