Use DISM to add drivers returns an error on an image which has profiles and programdata on a seperate volume

Hi,
We capture and modify W7 Ent and Pro OS images on a regular base by using DISM to add drivers for example. Until now we never had a problem because we always had images which only had 1 OS volume captured. DISM works fine to mount the image to a mount
folder, add drivers, and save the changes in the image.
However now we encounter an issue when doing the same actions on an image where the \Windows folder was located on the C:\ volume and \programdata and \users folders where redirected to a D:\ volume.
When mounting the C:\ volume image (including everything except \programdata and \users folders) the error we receive when trying to add or get drivers is:
Error 3 - the \Windows folder is not a valid Windows directory.
The DISM.Log file show right before this error that the remote registry could not be contacted.
This is caused I think because the registry files are located on the \Users folder, but since this folder is not captured in the image (located on another volume during capture) it cannot find the registry.
My question is: how can we resolve this?
What we have now is 1 WIM file where index1 is the OS (C:\ volume) and index2 is the \ProgramData and \Users folders (D:\ volume). Probably the way of capturing the image and redirecting programdata/users is not done in a correct way...
Note: the image index1 and index2 restore works fine - the unattended.xml contains also redirection to the folders paths for \programdata and \users...
Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated!
Thx.

Hi Steve,
You can be right that DISM don’t support the scenario that User profile and System are in the separated volumes.
As a workaround, we should use the defaults to put the profile on C: during capture image, and then set the profile path to be on the D: drive after the image deploying.
Please refer to below KB for how to using Sysprep to redirect profiles’ locations.
Customize the default local user profile when preparing an image of Windows

Hope these could be helpful.

Can't add drivers to Server 2012 R2 boot image in WDS

Hi all.
I want to use my "old" Windows Server 2012 (not R2), WDS to deploy new R2 servers but i can't add driver package to the R2 boot image, it comes out with error code: 0xc0000135 no matter what drivers i use.
Without network drivers i can't boot the image on my physical servers, i've tried on a virtual machine where it works just fine.
I can't use the old boot image to install R2, then it comes with error: "Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [offlineServicing]." when it tries to install it on both virtual and physical servers.
My initial thought is that the WDS server has to be on a R2 server but i can't find anything that proofs that.
Can someone confirm that non R2 WDS is not supported to R2 or does anyone have an idea to a solution?
Thank you in advance.

Okay maybe not a solution but i installed a new WDS server on R2 and then there was no problem adding driver package to to boot image.
So i was able to confirm my theory that it's not supported to deploy R2 from a non-R2 WDS server. If anyone can make it work please let me know but until then i think this is the only way.
If I understand your description of the issue, the problem is that you are trying to update a WinPE 5.0 WIM with a version of the ADK that services WinPE 4.0 images. Installing the new Windows Server 2012 R2 server caused SCCM to use the version of the
ADK that services WinPE 5.0 images. You should be able to deploy them fine from the other server, but you can only service them from the new one. You will not be able to service the older WinPE 4.0 images from the new server either.

IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

The option to add a hyperlink to a text or image is greyed out and not functional. How do I fix this?

The option to add a hyperlink to text or an image in pages is greyed out. How do I fix this?

Peter is correct. However, one can clever up two overlayed, grouped Text Box and simulate a hyperlinked image that can be placed in the document body with text flowing around the image. Moving the image requires temporarily turning off the hyperlink in the Link inspector. Example was Pages ’09 v4.3 on OS X 10.8.4.
Steps:
From the Pages Toolbar, select Text Box twice. The Text Box will be slightly offset. Select and drag the offset one to just above the centered one.
Click inside the centered Text Box and back out the placeholder text. Now select this Text Box and choose the graphic inspector.
Choose Fill > Image Fill. Choose your image, and then Scale to Fit the entire Text Box.
From the Pages arrange menu, choose Make Background Objects Selectable, and Send Object to Background.
In the Wrap inspector, select Object Causes Wrap, and your choice there. My example was door #2.
Click inside your text-only Text Box. Change the placeholder text to three instances of the capital letter ‘O.’
Launch the Font panel (command+T).
Manually change the font size to 92 points. This just fits a default Text Box size without wrapping. I used Times New Roman Regular.
Select the text, and with the Link inspector, enable your choice of hyperlink, and also disable it (for now) with the “Make all hyperlinks inactive.”
With the text still selected, choose Font color from the Font panel. At the bottom of the Color tool, set the Opacity of your text to zero.
Drag the transparent text-only Text Box exactly over the top of your image Text Box. Use the blue guides.
From the Pages edit menu, Select All. From the Pages Arrange menu, choose Group.
Drag the Text Box group where you want it in your document body. Text will flow around it if you used my setting in the Wrap inspector.
Lastly, with the Text Box group selected, disable “Make all Hyperlinks inactive” in the Link Inspector. You now effectively have a text map overlaying your image and the mouse pointer changes to a hand. The link is now active. Exporting your Pages document to PDF preserves the hyperlinked image effect in both Preview and Acrobat Reader.

Activation error on Multi Provider which has Non-cumulative Cube

Hi,
My company has upgraded the BI 7.0 from 3.5.
It is working fine so far.
But I met the below message and could not activate it when I generate the multi provider which has Non-cumulative Cube.
Define the characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives (Message no. R7846)
And then I checked the Single cube but Single cube has no error.
I think this is program error and searched the notes in OSS but could not find.
Does any expert know this issue?
Thank you.

Hi lee,
validity slice tables need to be defined for cubes using non cumulative key figures.
In this we need to specify the characteristic combination on which this table has be maintained.
The maintanence can be done from cube change mode, menu bar extras--> maintain non cumulative values.
This table constantly gets updated with validity dates as we upload data.
An report on this can be seen in tcode RSDV.

Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes. Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

I've had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been connecting it to my laptop to sync any downloaded tunes from iTunes. Unfortunately, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do I now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Core audio drivers returned an error code -39

hi
when i was trying to export a song garageband begins mixing down then returns "error code -39", anyone know whats going on?
thanks

a -39 is an End Of File error, which unfortunately does not really identify which file is corrupt in GB
the first thing i would try is to rescue the recordings (hoping that it's the GB file itself that is corrupt):

Error running Update SQL, which has a table join

I'm running oracle 10g.
I have two tables (described below):
notes table:
cust - varchar(10)
group -varchar(10)
opportunity_id - varchar (10)
activity table:
cust - varchar(10)
group - varchar(10)
i_ref_no - integer
i_vendor_control - varchar(15)
create_date - date
I want to update the first_name and last_name columns in the notes table with the first_name and last_name columns in the activity, while doing an inner join on the opportunity_id and i_vendor_control. Only update if first_name and last_name are both null in the notes table AND if the create date is greater than 1/1/13 in the activity table and the i_ref_no is between certain values.
Here's my SQL:
update notes
set (notes.i_cust, notes.i_grup) =
(select activity.i_cust, activity.i_grup
     from activity
where notes.opportunity_id = activity.i_vendor_control
     and activity.d_crea = '04/23/13'
     and activity.i_ref_no between 871206 and 871210)
where notes.i_cust IS NULL
and notes.i_grup IS NULL
and notes.opportunity_id in (select activity.i_vendor_control from activity
          where activity.d_crea = '04/23/13'
          and activity.i_ref_no between 871206 and 871210)
Can someone tell me why this SQL gets a syntax error? I can run the nested select statements separately and they work fine, but when i run this entire SQL, i get a syntax error. Can anyone see the syntax error? Or is there a better way to write this? All i'm doing is updating the first and last names in the first table with that of the second table.

I think this should suffice
update notes
set (notes.i_cust, notes.group) =
(select activity.i_cust, activity.group
from activity
where notes.opportunity_id = activity.i_vendor_control
and activity.create_date = '04/23/13'
and activity.i_ref_no between 871206 and 871210)
where notes.i_cust IS NULL
and notes.group IS NULL
and notes.opportunity_id in (select activity.i_vendor_control from activity
where activity.create_date = '04/23/13'
and activity.i_ref_no between 871206 and 871210)
Why do you need an extra clause with IN operator for the same where condition?
Is it because its not an update for the entire table? If so then have the outer clause using exists as it will perform better

Edited by: user10285699 on May 1, 2009 1:09 AM

Your code is faulty.
First of all you set up multiple statements in a cursor for loop, and you execute that statement outside the cursor for loop. So only 1 statement is executed.
Secondly, you can't refer to pl/sql variables in a dynamic sql statement or you must use them as bind variables (preferred) or concatenate them.
1 bind variables.
sql_stmt1:= 'insert into node(NODE_ID,pID,dep,tnode,PNODE)
select id,pid2,cur.dep,null,null)
from tablex h
where h.hid = :id2
and h.dep = :dep';
execute immediate sql_stmt1 using id2, cur.dep;
end loop;
2 concatenation.
sql_stmt1:= 'insert into node(NODE_ID,pID,dep,tnode,PNODE)
select id,pid2,cur.dep,null,null)
from tablex h
where h.hid = '||id2
and h.dep = '||cur.dep||')';
execute immediate sql_stmt1 using id2, cur.dep;
end loop;

Providing you have a free HDMI port on the TV and the location you would put the Apple TV will allow it to connect to your network, you should be good to go.

Can I use a Time Capsule for ADDITIONAL storage for a Mac Air which has run limited storage space

Hi
I am looking at purchasing the current MacBook Air but am aware of its limited storage space in terms of files, photos etc.
Was wondering if I could use a time Capsule for both back-up and as an additional storage device. Ie: would I be able to store photos and files on the Time Capsule that I do not wish to store on a MacBook Air and be able to retrieve them as and when - or would these be deleted after a period of time? Is there any way of protecting certain files on the Time capsule to prevent them from being deleted?
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can but it's not recommended, because you can damage the Time Machine structure.

Only files backed up with Time Machine are deleted from your Time Capsule when there's no enough storage. If you store other files, they are not deleted. However, for what you want to do, I recommend you to buy a big external drive and make two partitions, one for Time Machine and another one to store files, or get two external drives
