Will Windows 7 domain policies work with new Windows 8 workstations?

Dear all,
We have five number of Windows 7 processional workstations in our Organization. Now company decided to replace these workstations to windows 8 professional. My questions is these five new windows 8 workstations are in work group.  I will add these machines
to the existing domain,after adding these machines to the domain can I get the same settings like earlier or I will do any changes in active directory.
Thanks in advance.

  • Cortana not working with new Windows 10 on Yofga 2 13

    I recently updated to the new Windows 10 but am unable to get Cortana to work, even though all my setting are set to English (UK) (required if Cortana is to work). A search online has shown that the only other people I have found with the same issue also own a Yoga 2 13. Just wondering if anyone else with a Yoga 2 13 has had the same problem and if there is any way of overcoming this?

    I have the same problem on my Z510. I have installed the very latest audio drivers but still not working. Like you, I have made sure that my region and language settings are all UK and have installed the UK English pack. I am beginning to think this is a Lenovo problem as, otherwise the WEb would be full of this.

  • Why doesn't Norton work with new windows 10 Microsoft Edge

    Norton is telling me I have to use Internet Explorer to work with Window 10.  It is not compatible to Microsoft Edge which is the browser on Windows 10

    Our apologies for the inconvenience, our toolbar can work only after Microsoft allows browser extensions for edge. Please read the information provided in our Knowledgebase article:

  • Will old iSight camera work with new Mac mini?

    will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini? If so what adapters will I need?

    Matthewlopez wrote: will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini?...
    Yes (if the old external iSight works.)
    Apple's long ago discontinued Firewire External iSights were great webcams, but they are old (as consumer electronics go) and some may have had pretty rough treatment. Even NOS (new old stock) items may have been damaged in storage or handling.
    If you have access to an external iSight, you can test it using the suggestions from this page: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html.  To reduce the possibility of conflicts for old Firewire iSights, I suggest you disconnect all other Firewire peripherals until you get your external iSight working with your mini. Then connect other needed items one at a time and test each to determine whether you can use any without conflict.
    If you are considering buying an external iSight now, a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice. Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    If you want more examples of external iSight and newer minis, take a look at some of the results of this search for your question.
    Matthewlopez wrote: ... If so what adapters will I need?
    You will need a Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter.  This adapter offers only a Firewire 800 connection.
    The Firewire connection on old external iSights is a Firewire 400 connector.  Therefore, you need some way to connect to the FW800 connector on your adapter:
    • To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
      like one of these:

    • This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:
      http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA833ZM/A/ (I use this one.)
    • Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:

  • External HDD (used before on a Windows) doesn't work with new Mac

    Hi
    I have this Seagate 1 TB ext HDD that I've been using with my old Windows, but unfortunately, when I connect it to my Macbook, I'm not able to make changes, nor can I edit or delete files or add new files to the HD. What should I do?
    Thank you so much for your help.
    edit: To answer a question by a fellow community member, the format is NTFS.
    Message was edited by: azrimiskal (added format of NTFS to the question)

    The link I gave you was to the MacUpdate.com page for Paragon NTFS.  Look lower on that page for the Similar Software section and see if any of them are free.
    I am assuming an external drive in an enclosure.  Any drive will do so long as the enclosure that encloses it can talk to your mac (firewire is better than usb2 and thunderbolt better then either of them).  For example take a look at the selection at OWC.
    Personally I like to buy empty enclosures (which you could get at OWC) and stick the drive of my choice in them.  That way I get to choose the drive of my choice (I like Western Digitals) and stick it in the enclosure of my choice.  I view enclosures as dumb boxes who's only goal in life is to let you communicate with the drive they enclose.  You can by "complete solutions", i.e., enclosures with drives and accompanying software.  In almost all case that software gets in the way and screws thing sup from the box just being a dumb box.

    Since I upgraded to firefox 8, I get this error window that pops up says something about java. My tabs flicker or flash, the tabs will close and open in a new window then everything stops. Then firefox does not respond. When I get this error message, I have to close all tabs wait a few seconds then open it back up it will work for a little while and then do the same thing. I have disabled plug-ins that I do not use, I have cleared my cache and cookies, I am not happy at all with this new version. I waited a while before updating. The first time I was going to update, firefox would not let me keep my anti-virus plug-in. PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

    Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all? 
    Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
    I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
    E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
    "When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run." 
     "It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
     "It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .." 
    E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
    "Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
    So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
    So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks 

    It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.

  • Will Mavericks server ever work with windows 7?

    I want to buy a new content server for our small business. Today we use snow leopard server on a Macmini and it is running stable, but we are growing and need to have a faster system and faster diskaccess and I have been looking at a solution with Macmini with thunderbolt pegasus raid. On the paper it looks really interesting, fast and it would be great for our small business! ....BUT.. I have read tons of forums with people having problems with windows compatibility.
    We use both Mac and PC in a small environment and the most IMPORTANT thing we need is a shared disk that work flawlessly with both windows and Mac. I do not need lots of other osx server features as mail, ftp, etc etc...
    So, Will Maverick server ever work as a content server with windows 7 professional client computers? Or should I go for a windows server (I rather not since I do not like windows)?  Or maybe a NAS-server is a better sollution for content sharing/shared workdisk?

    You need to install the Windows version.  The serial number for the Mac version should work with the Windows version.

    PSE6 would install and work on windows 7 fine. There might be some issues where application interacts with OS, so you can expect some issues in OS dialog boxes that are opened in application like import dialog box.

    Thanks in advance.

    According to this kb, LV2009 is the first version to be supported in Windows 7.  We have had problems getting LabVIEW 8.6 to just install in Windows 7 machines.  You might be able to get it to work, but I would recommend upgrading your version of LabVIEW if you really need to use Windows 7.

  • Will hp officejetpro 6830 work with windows 10?

    will hp officejetpro 6830 work with windows 10?

    Windows 10 is still in th pre-release stage and it is not published yet what will be supported, I expect this will happen in the next month as the July 29 release nears.  HP's site here will have compatibility information, check back in late July for information. That said, I would expect that current printers will be suported in Windows 10.  The current public Windows 10 Build 10130 does have a Fax driver for the Officejet Pro 6830 and print drivers that would be compatible as well.
