WDS Client Naming Policy with image unattend mode problem

I have created a standard Windows 7 Pro 64-bit PC for my company with all our applications installed and configured.  I used SYSPREP to generalize it and then used PXEBoot to capture this image to our WDS Server (which is the PDC).  I used WAIK
to create the two required answer files, one for the WDS server and the PXE boot stage of deployment and another linked to the image that sets the region/keyboard/time zone and other simple settings.
To test I've setup up Oracle VirtualBox and PXE booted it.  The PXE part works fine and the correct image begins to deploy.  However when using the image's answer file I get a random computer name generated and it fails to join the domain, when I
don't use the image answer file I have to sit at the PC and set the region/keyboard/timezone etc settings from prompts on the screen but the virtual PC does join the domain and does pick up the correct name!
The AD DS properties tab shows this as 'Client Naming Policy' FBCLIENT%02# which is correct and results in PCs called FBCLIENT01 FBCLIENT02 etc when NOT using the image answer file.
How can I modify my image answer file so that the PC is joined to the domain and picks up the correct generated name in sequence?
Here's my image answer file...

  • Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

    I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
    Thanks in advance
    Atishay

    I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
    long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
    pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
    100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
    email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
    size/processing?

  • Client Server Application with images or icons

    I made a Client Server application with JFrames, but I put a jLabel with an icon, and I can't run the Client.
    It says java.lang.NullPointerException
    Do you know why I can't see the icon in the JLabel? It isn't an applet, it's an application with JFrames.

    You have to explain the problem better if you want some help. Also show the code which is giving you the nullpointerexception(Do not forget codetags!).

  • Using Delayed Locking Mode along with Serializable Isolation Mode - problem

    hi all,
    I have a form that includes 2 blocks (master-detail) and I've set locking mode to delayed cause I don't want records to be locked while user is changing them but only when a COMMIT is issued.. Along with that I set Isolation Mode to Serializable as online help dictates.
    Problem is that since I've done this, record seems to be saved correctly but it actually does not when i issue a COMMIT (tried it with commit_form and do_key('commit_form') and with post and then commit). I get no error message and transaction seems to be completed but nothing happens on the db.
    What I've noticed is that when I issue a COMMIT with delayed locking mode on, the ON-LOCK trigger does not fire at all while it should (cause that's what delayed locking mode is supposed to do lock the record only while commiting). Does it have anything to do with my problem?
    please send any ideas you might have on this
    thanks in advance,
    teo

    Why you use Isolation Mode = Serializable?
    Forms help says:
    "Use delayed locking if the form's Isolation Mode property has the value Serializable."
    not
    "Set Isolation Mode to Serializable if Locking Mode property has the value Delayed".

  • Unattended wds client setup - language/locale page is still displayed

    Hi

  • M58 6258 - Image Ultra Builder Unattended Deployment Problem With R&R

    Hi,
    We are trying to build a Lenovo M58 using Image Ultra Builder (IUB)
    We can get everything to work silently in unattend mode except Rescue and Recovery.
    The version we are using is 4.21 and installing the .exe via a batch file using  /s /qn switches, which are silent, and quiet with know intervention switches.
    The IUB is running the install but it requires a manual intervention process to run through the setup process. Once this has been done then it does perform a BaseBackup and puts this on the hidden secondary partition of the HDD.
    Does anyone know of anyway to get this to run silently without the need of a manual intervention.
    We have tried packaging R&R into an MSI but without success.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear All,
    We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
    Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
    Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
    It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
    How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
    Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
    explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

    >   * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the

    You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
    desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
    Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

  • WDS clients not joining the domain

    Hi all
    Recently set up a 2012R2 server in our domain as a WDS server. After syspreping Win7 x64 with an unattend file and capturing images the machines just don't want to join the domain, after windows install it gets to the "Applying system settings"
    and hangs for 15 minutes (while i assume it tried to join the domain) then eventually restarts but with no domain join, everything else in the unattend file works fine bar the domain join. I've tried with secure join and unsecure join but none work. Using
    no unattend file the domain join works fine.
    I've searched every forum and tried various methods to get this working but still no joy.
    Can anyone suggest anything?

    First of all, i would split the subjects column.
    If you for sure only need up to 3 subjects, you could make three columns subject1, subject2, subject3.
    If you may have an indefinite number of subjects for each teacher, you might create a detail-table with the subjects for each teacher.
    I also would create a list of values for the subjects, either based on static values or based on another table with the subjects allowed.
    Now that the subject-names are fixed you could create a subject-image for each subject, named as the subject itself. Then you "construct" the image for each subject as
    <img src="#APP_IMAGES##SUBJECT_NAME#.png"/>

  • Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

    Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
    the following image:
    The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
    with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
    I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

    The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
    OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
    The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
    Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
    If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
    Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • 10.3.9 clients not working with 10.4.9 open directory server

    I have a 10.4.9 server running open directory and managing about 20 10.4.9 clients. I am trying to have it manage our remaining 10.3.9 clients, but for whatever reason, I cannot seem to get the 10.3 clients to "attach" to the server.
    I have the 10.3 clients set up in a computer list on the server, and in directory access I have it set to "get ldap mappings from server". At one point, it was suggested to me that I have the clients "get ldap mappings from open directory server". I tried this, and manually set the search base suffix. My search base suffix was "dc=example,dc=local". I even tried doing "cn=config,dc=example,dc=local" (where in both cases example.local was replaced with my real DNS name). Any suggestions on what else I could try to get this to work?

    That's the odd thing though. I've done this with 10.4 no problem. Settings always worked. For some reason though, even though the clients are able to login using a network user, none of the preference settings sync.
    For example - I always put a loginwindow message on as a sort of "test" to see if preferences are being set. If that works, then I rarely have a problem. No matter what I do, though, I cannot get the loginwindow message to display on the 10.3 clients. It works really well on 10.4, but not at all on 10.3. I've tried this on multiple 10.3 machines, as well, (and they're both based on different system images) but it still doesn't work. When I get back to work on Friday, I'll have to see if preferences will work for network users; that's the one thing I haven't tried.
    Other than dumping the directoryaccess preferences, is there another preference setting that could be dumped on the client that may make it grab prefs from the server?

  • Please could anybody has a sol, to bring images to the report for all employees which has no reference with images stored in some path

    Hi Obiee experts,
    I have placed the images in  below locations  and these images are independent and  has no reference to the employee id column in dimension table.but my client requires report with all the employees,with respect to the images.Could anybody can give me a solution for this.

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Sreeni,
    The images are stored with employee ids reference like 1234.jpg in the image location path, so will it be possible to call those images into the report with no relation at database level.
    as you said in above mail even if if we cld try  to store the images in oracle database with format like CLOB format the rpd will not support the datatype to bring to that report level.
    Please let me know if you have any solution
    Thanks in Advance

  • Conversion from word problems with images

    Hi ,
    I managed to make a conversion table to structure the documents of out company.I am having a proble with images.I am importing the word file to our template with a custom EDD document.When the import finishes I am having all images at almost correct places.The issue is when i apply the custom conversion table all the images at anchored at insertion point.The correct position would be at below current line.I am stuck and I can not find a solution to this.

    Thanks a lot in advance

    Dimitris,
        I know you originally posted this question on the general FrameMaker forum. I suggest below that you post a follow-up question there.
       The structure-based part of the issue is that neither a conversion table nor an EDD can change properties of an existing anchored frame. It seems that when you open your Word document in FrameMaker, the graphics come in positioned at the insertion point. That doesn't change when you apply the conversion table. Your EDD does specify object style FiguredCentered as the initial format for GRAPHIC elements. The keyword here is "initial". The EDD can indicate a style for new anchored frames that are created by inserting an element. It does not allow you to change existing anchored frames.
      So the real problem is how to make a global change to all existing anchored frames (either assigning an object style or changing the position to Below Current Line) so that you don't have to change them one at a time. I am not aware of a way to do so with existing FrameMaker commands. You could use a script or plug-in, or save the document as MIF and make a global change with a text editor in the MIF file. You might ask on the general FrameMaker forum if someone there knows an easier approach.
