Win 7 To Win 7 refresh with Offline hardlink

Hi,
I am testing Win 7 to Win 7 refresh scenario with offline hardlink (i can't format and repartition disk). I am stuck at a step where it need to apply windows 7 image on the disk. Since existing systems are win 7 they have BDEDrive drive. while deploying
image, BDEDrive becomes 'C:' and since i my task sequence step to apply image try to put image on BDEDrive that is too small it deployment fails. If i go back to my TS, i don't see any option where i can put logic to force my task sequence to apply image on
main partition of hard drive that is of bigger size (but assigned E drive letter) .
I can assign 'specific logical drive letter' to 'E' but i am not sure if it will be always on each system that is going to be migrated and same TS will be used for WinXP to Win7 as well. Options that are available in TS for apply image are:
My system shows below while i run diskpart during TS exceution:
Thanks in advance

Hi Brijj,

ADK 8.1 USMT with Win 7 - Win 7 refresh migrations

Hi ,
I am testing Win7-win7 refresh scenario with offline hardlink migration with USMT 5.0 (ADK 8.0) and ADK 8.1.
I am observing that if i use USMT 5.0 (ADK 8.0) package and define 'OSDStateStorePath' with path like C:\USMTOffline, process creates migration store on locally on c drive as USMToffline but if i keep the same TS and just change the USMT package to ADK 8.1
USMT, i could see that process creates the local migration store in _SMSTaskSequence rather than the path define in 'OSDStateStorePath' variable. Is it something by default in ADK 8.1? I see both process are workign fine and finishes the migration successfully
but just trying to understand the behavioural change when using USMT ADK 8.0 and USMT ADK 8.1. Its MDT integrated TS in Configuration manager 2012 R2. Any pointers .

Hi,
Please review the scanstate.log to check the command line passed by Task Sequence, this will tell you why there is the difference.

OSDStateStorePath path for Win 7 to Win 7 refresh offline hardlink migrations?

Hi,
We are in a process to test Win 7 to win 7 refresh scenario wherein we are wiping existing win 7 with new win 7 image. Existing systems have BDEDrive (without drive letters) that is causing issues. I have set
OSDStateStorePath to C:\<storename> as of now, during TS exceution Winpe assigns C drive to BDE volume and store gets created on it. Process fails during restore since once image is placed and restore stage comes, BDE Drive loose its drive letter and
load state couldn't able to restore from MigrationStore.
I want to know what should be the ideal place for OSDStateStorePath?
is should be %systemdrive%? And if anyone can share there steps from TS to achieve win 7 to win 7 offline migration would be great. Thanks.
Regards

%systemdrive% will be the Windows PE 's drive so that it does not work either.
You can set multiple steps of Set Variable for OSDStateStorePath. The running condition should be set as The partition contain folder or file you placed in Operating System Drive beforehand.

Thunderbird running under Win 8.1 with Defender does not download attachments and offline content.

Thunderbird on Win 8.1 with Windows Defender is not downloading attachments from my roadrunner email account. It does so when running under Ubuntu 12.04 though. On Windows no attachments are shown. Also on Windows there is content that is not shown, I know so as there is an empty box. Then there is no option to download offline content. How may I use Thunderbird to read my email if it won't display properly? I trust the source of these emails as they are from the legal department of my former employer. I asking for the content to be resent does not work either. Please help me.
Thank you;

IPod not connecting to Win 7 PC with iTunes v10

OK, deep breath, because I'm really annoyed.
IPod nano 3rd gen ran fine on win 7 PC with iTunes v9. Upgraded to itunes v10 and now the ipod & itunes refuse to communicate with each other. I've spent the last 2 days uninstalling, reloading refreshing various drivers yet I'm no further forward.
I've run through these 2 helpfiles in detail: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 & http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292 with no success.
With the ipod connected Win 7 device manager has the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver under the USB section & shows Apple Ipod USB Device under the Disk Drives section. There is no ipod drive listed in 'my computer' however there is a device called 'apple mobile device USB driver' in the Devices & Printers directory. I've loaded, refreshed, reset, uninstalled and re-installed every driver I can think of. I've even tried going back to itunes v9 but I keep getting an error sying ITunes Library.itl is a newer file which stops the install.
With the ipod connected the ipod displays the 'connected - eject before disconnecting' message. Battery charging via the cable is working & I've tried different USB ports & cables. I've even reset the ipod 2 by pressing and holding the Play/Pause and Menu buttons simultaneously until the Apple/iPod logo appears.
So, bhas anyone any serious help to offer before I finally lose my temper with this current state of affairs?

I thought the next step was to try it on another computer. still the same..
so I tried it with a diffrent operating system-Still did the same.
I think I have a bad ipod. back to the store it goes

Does anyone know how to win a fight with layout manager?

I am using the form designer in netBeans to design my page, which has a jPanel on the left and a number of controls on the right.
My problem is that when I eventually get it to look half right at design time, it looks different at run time. The fonts are different, the combo boxes are a different height and some of my text boxes are 4 times as wide. http://RPSeaman.googlepages.com/layout.GIF shows both the design-time view and the run-time view. How can I win my fight with layout manager?

I'd like to do an experiment where you take say 20 pairs of students of java, with each pair matched in terms of prior programming and java experience, general knowledge, etc... and set one of each pair to learn Swing using netbeans and its layout generator with the other pair learning to code Swing by hand. Then 6 months later compare their abilities. I'll bet that the code by hand group will blow the other group out of the water in terms of understanding and ability.
Just my 2 Sheckel's worth.

Can't update Win 8 to Win 8.1 with Media Center

I recently went through a nasty divorce and all my stuff was put in storage for about a year. When I finally got everything back and set up my entertainment center I wanted to update the Win 8 Media Center pc to 8.1. I can’t do it through the store. Resource
Monitor says I’ve dl’ed more than 8 gigs over three days so far but the file is stuck at 2.9 gigs and won’t grow. I tried deleting the file to start over and can’t. wsreset fixed other programs that wouldn't dl but not 8.1. In addition, this pc was working
perfectly before it was put into storage but its wonky now. For example, I can’t update the system time even though I set proper permissions in the local security policy at change the system time. There are also a bunch of other aggravating little problems
like that and I really want to reformat and start from scratch.
In a related issue I got Media Center free when MS offered it. I took two licenses and used one as a backup for a pc that’s not connected to a TV. I updated that one several months ago and just noticed I don’t have Media Center in add features or anywhere
else I can find. Oddly enough it appears that I have the rest of the pro pack like BitLocker, only Media Center is missing.
So I have two questions:
How can I update to Win 8.1 with Media Center starting from scratch?
How can I add Media Center to the pc I already updated?
I’m an Action Pack subscriber if that helps.
“Some days you’re the pigeon, some days you’re the statue.”

Updated.
First, I want to know if your computer is a Windows 8 professional edition?
If you're already running Windows 8 Pro and have Windows Media Center, you won't need to reinstall it after updating to
Windows 8.1
After upgrading to Windows 8.1 the Windows media Center will not be included if your system is not Windows 8 Pro, you can see it from the official site:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8
If you want to install Windows Media Center, you need to add features to
Windows 8.1, and what I have to point out is there is a difference between Windows 8 and Window 8 Pro when add packages to Windows Media Center:

Dual Booting OEM WIN 8.1 with Win 8.1 with UEFI enabled

I am a college student.I use Lenovo Z510 which has full UEFI with 1TB hdd of which 931gb is free.I shrinked it to 2 X 465 GB partitions of which one has oem install of win 8.1 with my personal stuff and games.My course requires a clean install of win 8.1 for various softwares like creo, catia.I want to install a clean win 8.1 for college and projects on my second partition with the same oem license...I have prepared a fresh win 8.1 usb with windows media creation tool....but i dont know how to proceed for a sucessful full UEFI installationhow do i do that ? guys ..help me...when i googled it came across efi and two other partitions...what should i do ?also i have no plans to upgrade to win 10 as it doesnt support the existing versions of design softwarea

I tried to boot windows from UEFI shell ( tried to map all the possible partitions with command "map"
) , but had no success. (when going, for example, into blk0: ; writing : "ls", error was displayed : "no file exists"
Looks like you were trying to use UNIX commands? <eg>
Try using diskpart instead?
Robert Aldwinckle
There have been some cases where an EFI deployment of Windows has failed, and you have to use the system's EFI shell to boot the OS manually. The 'map' command is used after booting into the shell (if it does not run by default) to show which volumes exist
on the system.
See here for more info:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/efi-shells-and-scripting
The specs for the tablet in question seem to indicate it only has 16GB "disk" for the OS to use. A standard Windows 8.1 core/pro would not be viable and Windows 8.1 with Bing is not available to the public. Since the tablet is already licensed
for Windows 8.1 with Bing, it would be best to get the recovery solution from the manufacturer. Otherwise you'd have to purchase a new license and then the OS may not have enough space to install/use properly.

ECC 6.0 installed in win 2008 server with db2 9

Dear all.,
I have newly installed sap erp ecc 6.0 in win 2008 server with db2.The installation is successfully finished and system is up and running.
But the issue is i could not find anything in the control centre to take backup and to do other activities.
I tried to add the system in control centre and i tried to run with DB2admin create command.
Please anybody let me know how to get all the systems and all database in control centre in db2.

best regards.,

db2admin create command is for creating the DAS, I guess no need of it here
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/admin/t0004960.htm
On Windows server, start -> run -> db2cmd -> enter
Does it open db2cmd prompt ?
If yes, check these and paste the output here in forum
echo %DB2INSTANCE%
db2ilist
db2 list db directory

Can I use a VB SCript to enable Num Lock at logon in Win 8.1 with Update 1?

Hope this is the correct place for this - someone directed me to the TechNet Forums from the Windows 8.1 general forum, and then from the 'Windows Forms General' forum to one on Scripting and now to this one on Group Policy this one. Hope I have now
got to the correct technical forum to answer the question below, which is driving me nuts.
In the good old days of Windows XP, I was able to ensure Num Lock was on at boot up by the use of a small VB Script file, which was this:
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"
It is really annoying with Win 8.1 that on Boot Up, AND
every time I want to switch user, Num Lock goes off (even if it was on before switching user). I want Num Lock to be on at Boot Up AND stay on when switching user.
I have seen the suggested remedies in other forums about changing the appropriate value in the Registry (which does not work until after logon) and changing the BIOS setting (which does not work because Windows overrules the BIOS setting). The question
is whether the VBScript solution will work with Win 8.1 with Update 1?
If it will, in which folder do I put the Script file in order for it to work for all Users?
And do I have to make the any changes to Group Policy to make it work, and if so what changes, as seems to be the case if the OS was Win 7 (mine is Win 8.1 Update 1, and NOT Win 8 Pro).
Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Please note, I am NOT an expert user, so please try and explain any shorthand you use that you take for granted but which I won't understand!!
Neil

Thanks for this reply, RBoyde, but........
... as my orignal message suggested, I have hardly a clue what you are saying and the link doesn't help me understand any better either (as it doesn't seem to help with how to do something with an existing Registry key).
To be speciific:
1. what script do I write?
2. where do I save it so it works for all users at logon AND on switching users?
3. how do I "run it as a logon script via group policy"????
Perghaps I need to add that this is a single, standalone, home PC, with 2 users, running Win 8.1 Core/Basic. Also, I cannot find the Group Policy Editor on the PC; when I type either 'gpedit' or 'gpedit.msc' into Run, I get a message saying that the
file canot be found on the PC. This when logged on as user with administrator powers. It is not found either from a Command prompt. And there does not seem to be a GP Snap-in available via the MM Console.
Please clarify for me what looks to be a helpful response - for I am just a 'bear of little brain' (as per Winnie the Pooh).

How to find using SQL query application deployed on win 7 machines with SCCM 2012 server or user installed manually.

Hi,
how to find using SCCM SQL query, application deployed on win 7 machines with SCCM 2012 server or user/technician installed manually. Please let me know.

Thanks, is it not possible via any script also?
Like Torsten said, how can you tell the difference between CM12 installed applications and locally installed? Once you can answer that, then you can write report.

Is ADOBE® CREATIVE SUITE® 4 DESIGN PREMIUM WIN UE compatible with Windows 8 and 8.1?

Yes/No/perhaps/maybe? You won't know until you try. Windows programs are generally backward compatible, but of course there most definitely will be specific problems like needing to manually adjust user permissions or getting things like printing functions to work.

PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver. Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem, it simply replaces the text file and crashes again. My video driver

PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver. Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem, it simply replaces the text file and crashes again. My video driver is just fine. Any help out there?

rb
Your video card driver may be fine for something, but just not compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1.
For those with the display card error, the answers include
a. assure your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card -
if necessary consider a driver roll back.
b. determine in Device Manager/Display Adapters if the computer is using 2 cards instead of 1
c. delete the BadDrivers.txt file
the rationale for that deletion is found in post 10 of the following older post...principle applies to 13 as well as 9.
Re: Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem
Have you looked for computer ATI card settings that might be more compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
When is the program crashing - just opening a new project or rather crashing if editing a particular video format at the Timeline level?
