WINDOWS 2008 R2 WITH WINDOWS 8 WALLPAPER USING GPO NOT WORKING

I have come across a really annoying problem with Active Desktop Wallpaper GPO on
Windows 8
It is set to redirect to a wallpaper which is located in a dir on the
server.
when the user first logs onto a windows 8 PC, the correct background is applied.
however when I change the background on the server... the user will still get the
previous background on the windows 8 computers. If i click personalisation it shows the updated wallpaper but it simply won't
refresh to it!
The only way to get it to work is removing the users local / roaming
profile and then the updated wallpaper is displayed!
the wallpapers work fine on XP and Windows 7 PC's...
PLS HELP
SUNIL PATEL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR

I get this problem.
I just change the name of the wallpaper each time and that sort of works...sort of however some users still are stuck with the old wallpaper. It must be caching it somewhere in their profile.
and then I found the post at the bottom of this page:
created a batch file:
@echo off
echo.
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /f /v "TranscodedImageCache" /t REG_BINARY /d ""
echo.
echo Import Complete.
put that on user log off policy and now it appears to have started working!

  • Problem with GenericCatalogDAO  JDBC Resultset using parameters not working

    Hello
    I have a problem with Petstore GenericCatalogDAO. java. The problem is the behaviour of the resultset object when retrieving data from the database.Below are two synareos one that
    works (when) hard coded and one that does not work when parameter values passed into the the result set.
    1. The code the WORKS.
    statement = connection.prepareStatement("select a.productid , name, descn from product a, product_details b
    where a.productid = b.productid and locale= 'en_US' and a.catid = 'FISH' order by name"
    ,ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
    resultSet.absolute(1);
    String s = resultSet.getString(1);
    The code that gives me a 'exhausted resultset' error which I think means no results
    String[] parameterValues = new String[] { locale.toString(), categoryID };(For example parameters are 'en_US' and 'FISH')
    statement = connection.prepareStatement("select a.productid , name, descn from product a, product_details b
    where a.productid = b.productid and locale=? and a.catid =? order by name"
    ,ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    for (int i = 0; i < parameterValues.length; i++) {
    statement.setString(i + 1, parameterValues[i]);
    resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
    resultSet.absolute(1);
    String s = resultSet.getString(1);
    There is obviously a problem using these named parametevalues with these preparedstatement resultset, Does anybody know anything about this and a fix for it????
    Cheers. Roger

    Which version of PetStore are you using?

  • Window 10 build 10041 does not work with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet on ASUS motherboard

          
    I originally posted this question here:
    answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/window-10-build-10041-does-not-work-with-intel/6729892f-83aa-4822-b20a-ea84f4fd06c7
    and was asked to post it on this forum...
    I updated a computer I have which is a quad core i7 that I built and includes an ASUS motherboard with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet built in. Windows 10 preview 9926 worked fine with this network adapter. Window 10 build 10041 does not, and I have tried
    it twice so far. I even went as far as buying a Thunderbolt-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (Broadcom, sold by Apple)... and while it installed the driver automatically, it did not work either. Each time you try to view the properties of either of them, it locks
    up or give an error. In fact, doing much of anything with the Intel adapter icon assures you of not being able to do a clean reboot... have to kill power.  I have finally gone back the previous version 9926, which has its issues but no where near as bad
    as not having any network connectivity!  Does anyone have this issue and a workaround? 
    Note, there are two images on the windows 10 preview forum that I posted this question on. I could not post the full link as I was getting a message here that links and graphics are not allowed.

    Thanks Roger, I posted the following yesterday in the other thread (thinking it was this thread - confusing after they moved it here)... It may be that the new driver fixes the issue that 10041 has with it, but I have not tried that yet. If I do I will update
    this... Thanks!
    I have more information about this, which basically exonerates any issue with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware or software. I have 3 computers with Windows 10 preview so I have multiple angles to see issues from. With this I have found a culprit
    (but I suspect not just the only culprit) in this above mentioned problem...
    10041 build combined with installing (or attempting to install) CISCO VPN Windows 7 64bit 5.0.07.0440-k9 client causes the issue mentioned above. I confirmed this on a completely different machine with a totally different Ethernet adapter. First machine
    is an ASUS motherboard in a tower system I built, with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware built in. Second machine is a Gateway Laptop from 2008 which has a Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter built in. Build 10041 will work fine with my 2008
    laptop, including the MS VPN client (which I have tested). However, if you attempt to install or even uninstall the Cisco client you will have to do a recovery to a restore point (as I have done twice) in order to get your network working again. Installing
    or attempting to install (because it never even does install properly and times out), CISCO VPN client will render your entire network unusable. Going back to a restore point saved me and I am still running 10041 but I can't use CISCO VPN client any longer.
    I could with build 9926, including on all 3 machines. I now have 9926 on two machines and 10041 on only the 2008 laptop. 
    Hopefully this above information helps someone resolve the issue. I will also mention, even though my network is working on the 2008 laptop, I still can't go into the Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections and right mouse click on the Marvell
    Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter icon. I get an error when clicking on Properties menu popup : "An unexpected error has occurred". So something is still up with my network adapter driver or windows software, but it could be a side effect of all
    that has happened with the Cisco software install attempts under 10041.
    Another note: CISCO Anyconnect also has the issue.

    This is boot camp problem, because in other normal notebooks (e.g. SONY VAIO, Lenovo with Windows 7) the gadgets are working normally.

    Have you reinstalled the latest Boot Camp Windows 7 drivers, just in case Microsoft overwrote some of them during the Windows 7 security update?

  • Windows Vista and iTunes does not work

    First Time sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany and my English is not the best.
    I have the new Windows Vista but iTunes does not work good.
    And I have to use it, to manage my music on my iPod.
    When there will be a Vista compatibles Version of iTunes??
    And when will come an 64-Bit Version?
    Thanks for Help,
    Karsten

    iTunes running under VISTA does not recognize media burned by iTunes Backup (v7.0.2) from a non-Vista machine.
    The original machine recognizes the media just fine, but the new VISTA machine does not recognize the dvd at all.
    Anyone else having a problem with VISTA recognizing burnt media?

  • Elements 13 crashes - Windows message - this program is not working correctly - windows will close it.

    I bought Elements 13 4 days ago through Amazon - so far it has not run for more than 5 minutes before Windows closes it down with the message - this program is not working correctly, windows will close it. I know this is not unusual but has anyone got a solution - apart from returning  it
    with a very unfavourable review? I have tried all the suggested fixes on the Adobe help site with no result.  Elements 10 runs OK on the same machine.
    Alternatively, is there any possible way to get support from Adobe?

    Do you have any version of Premiere Elements 13 or only Photoshop Elements 13 which comes with Elements Organizer 13?
    Let us look at the following for Elements Organizer 13....
    1. Deletion of disabling the Elements Organizer 13 setting file which is named psa.prf. In Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit, it is found in the
    path
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    13.0
    Organizer
    and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
    2. If the above gains you successful entry into the Elements Organizer 13, then you can
    a. create a new catalog
    and/or
    b. repair or optimize the current one
    See Elements Organizer 13/File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
    3. There are times that certain formats will bring the Elements Organizer down when you try to import those formats into
    it.  But, from what you wrote, your current problems do not sound media related.
    3. At your earliest opportunity, please update Elements Organizer 13 to 13.1 using its Help Menu/Updates.
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work

    Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work.  I could click on buttons for Reminders, Notes, etc. and would take me into ICloud to share with other devices. No longer functions.

    Hi:
    I can't help you with why your PC won't upgrade to W8.1, but I can tell you that if you manage to get W8.1 to install, you won't be able to get the graphics to work anymore.
    There is no W8.1 driver for the graphics setup in your PC.
    So maybe it is a good thing that you can't get it to work.
