What is the right way to do a sysprep Image for Windows 7 and 8

Hi,
i´d like to know which way is the right one to do a sysprepp from an System with Windows 7/8.
Is it ok when I install the system with all drivers/patches etc. and after that I will open a command prompt with admin rights and choose the settings OOBE and Genrealize and Shutdown.
After that I create an Image with ImageX or Acronis and I´m ready to deplay it right? The local user which I created during the installaton should stay as an Supportuser.
So is ok or is there something wrong. Microsoft itself shows this way here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ee530017.aspx
But they write a lot of other faq´s where they discribe other ways. So what is now right and wrong?
Please don´t le my die stupid ;)

Hi,
Any update here? Have you checked the links above?
Regarding your concern, it is OK to install the drivers or patches before you Genrealize the image. And if we want to keep the drivers during sysprep in order to use it on the computers with the same hardware configuration, we should specify
PersistAllDeviceInstalls to true.
Important: When you set up your reference computer, Windows Setup installs drivers for any detected devices. By default, Windows Setup removes these drivers when you generalize the system. If you're deploying the image to computers that
have the same hardware and devices, you'll want Windows Setup to reinstall these same drivers. To keep these drivers on the computer during system generalization, set the Microsoft-Windows-PnPSysprep |
PersistAllDeviceInstalls setting to true.
The video shows the general steps using sysprep and imagex to capture the image. If you have no special requirements for drivers, or some applications need to be specific, just follow the steps. OOBE is a simple booting process, and audit mode is a process
to specific the image. More information, see:
Customize Windows in Audit Mode
Any other concerns?

What's the best way to send uncommon sized images for printing?

One of the things I need to do occasionally is print an uncommon sized image. For example, I may crop part of an image as a 2x3 to fit in an odd picture frame, such as a Chrstimas ornament. However, most places I print (e.g. CVS) only print common sizes. In the past I've used Elements to create a blank new image in a common size and pasted my crop into it (which is a little tricky because you have to make sure the new image and the crop have the same resolution), but I'd like to be able to do this directly in Lightroom. What would be the best way to do this?

1. Crop the image to the aspect ratio you want. If you wish to retain the cropped version for future use, make a Virtual Copy of it.
2. In the Print module set the page size to the size you will be ordering from the lab.
3. Make the cell dimensions the size you want the image to be. Set the margin sizes to position the image on the page as you wish.
4. Set Print to: JPEG File, Resolution to 300 ppi, check Sharpness, set JPEG Quality and the color space to sRGB.
5. Click on Print to File.

What's the right way to delete an entire backup ?

I've had two Macs doing wireless Time Machine backups to one Time Capsule.
Question: I got rid of one Mac, and want to delete its backup entirely (but leave the other computer's backups untouched). What's the right way to do it?

Jespes, welcome to the discussions!
Open your hard drive. Your Time Capsule icon should appear under the SHARED heading.
Click on the Time Capsule and a folder will appear to the right.
Double click the folder and you should see a xxxxxx.sparsebundle file for each computer that has been backing up.
Click on the xxxxx.sparsebundle file that you want to delete to highlight it and then click the gear shaped icon just above. Select Move to Trash. (Do not drag the file to the Trash as this will not work).
Be careful, as the file will be deleted instantly and you will not be able to retrieve it.
many thanks!

What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

What's the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?

H All:
What’s the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?
(Target = Android, AIR using Flash IDE)
Adding a handler to the DataGrid works; but (as expected) it only works on the datagrid itself. Like if you swipe on the background before rows are fully added. Adding columns over the datagrid, prevents the datagrids’ swipe handler from firing.
Trying to add a swipe hander to the columns themselves, results in the below error.
// Below code fails with
// 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type
//   fl.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn. So ... DataGridColumn doesn’t support addEventListener...
There must be a better way(?).
Thanks
            import fl.controls.DataGrid;
            import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
           // Works, but only on the grid itself; as when the rows do not fill the space tor the datagrid.
            myDataGrid.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);
            var c1:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Notes");
            c1.width = 90;
            c1.cellRenderer = CenterAlignCell;
            c1.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);

What is the right way to display a table in Java web dynpro using a node.

Hi experts,
I am trying to show a node of cardinality 0...n as a table in an adobe form in Java web dynpro. But its not showing it properly. Can anybody please tell me what is the right way to display a table on adobe form using a node of cardinality 0...n or 1...n in Java Webdynpro. In ABAP webdynpro, we can drag and drop a node of cardianlity 0...n or 1...n to show as a table and it works fine. Is the same possible in Java webdynpro also. Please help.
Thanks and Regards.

Please refer to my post.. you will get the answer
Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows
Special care should be taken in designing the context for table attribute.
The attribute type singletone also plays a important role. I have this doubt from the beginning when you have reported this problem for the first time but finally you marked it as solved so i thought there might be some other issues but again when you reported that again i did some analysis.
Now coming to final solution :
For designing a table in adobe interactive form you have consider following
You have to design the view context upto three level, I am explaining you the properties
PDFDataSource (Parent Level1) - Cardinality 1:1 - Signetone -True - This is assigned to datasource
TableList (Parent Level2) - Cardinality (1:1) - Signetone -True
TableWrapper(Parent Level3) - Cardinality (0:n) - Signetone -True
TableData (Parent Level4) - Cardinality (0:1) - Signetone - false (This is the main point)
Then under TableData value node, you have to put all your table attributes.
This Value Node name can be anything but hierarchy should be same as I have mentioned above.
Please try out these steps and get back to me if you have any doubt.

What is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging?

what is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging.
is it connect the magsafe connector first before plugging the adapter to the outlet? or the way around? or both ways will do?
what if i'm using a surge protection with a on/off button, can I just turn the surge protector extension on and off without disconnecting the magsafe connector and adapter plug from my laptop when i'm not using it?
thank you very much

If there is any arcing it may be because the adapter is dirty. It is best to plug in the wall wart then attach the magsafe to the MacBook. As GfulDedFan mentioned this reduces the chance of power surging the MacBook. I have done mine this way since he day I bought it and have never had an arc. I keep it clean to reduce the chance of this happening. The following will help in the care of your supply.

What is the Proper Way to place a Background Image inside a Div?

I have been searching Google and the Adobe forums for awhile now, and while there are very valid solutions to similar problems I found that none of them fixed the problem that I am facing. I blame myself and getting lost in this sloppy coding of mine, so part of my plan was to start my style sheet over from scratch.
My question, what is the proper way to add a background image into a div? I currently have the top div following the "header" css style, here is what I have typed into that sections:
<style type="text/css">
@import url("../twoColLiqLtHdr.css");
.header {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 300px;
    background-image: url(Assets/HeaderTemplate.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
The problem here is that the background image isn't even appearing. I would greatly appreciate any help, could anyone inform me on the proper way to doing this so that I can implement images in divs in the future without turning my coding in a down right mess?
Thank you in advance.

I apologize, I'm unable to post a link to the page just yet. This is a snip of coding for a website still in the making for the company I work for.
Would any of the coding below help?:

<style type="text/css">

<link href="../twoColLiqLtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<header class="twoColLiqLtHdr">

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

Just charge it to 100%.
Use it on the charger when possible. Recharge when the battery is around 50% when possible. Avoid to let the battery go down below 20%.

What is the best way to make PSD into HTML for emails

What is the best way to make PSDs into HTML for emails? Will the new feature in Dreamweaver work for emails as well? I am using Cheetah mail, but I need to be able to turn PSDs into HTML so I can use it in Cheetah mail. I have a general idea of how to do this, but I'm stumped about where to begin.

Use PShop for images only. Use DW to create your tables and inline CSS styles.
Many e-mail clients do not show images for security reasons. So graphics heavy e-mails are not an optimal way to communicate with your mailing list.
