Windows 7 and Windows 2008 drive mappings won't work

Hi, I'm trying to map a network drive using the group policy preferences. I can map drive no problem when i'm using static paths such as '\\servername\sharedfolder'. However i am unable to map drives to Windows 7 or Windows 2008R2 boxes when i use variables,
such as \\Servername\c$\users\%username% This works fine on XP clients, after some googling i discovered hitting F3 would give me a list of usable variables so i tried %logonUser% or \\servername\c$\users\%logonuser% this also fails to map the drive on Windows
7 or 2008R2. The preferences are set to show all drives and i have ticked the box to run under the users security context. If i look in the event log I am getting the following error
Event id - 4098
Source: - Group Policy Drive Maps
The user 'Y:' preference item in the 'test {21D9AF2B-8139-44EC-B8AA-E20802A51293}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070037 The specified network resource or device is no longer available.' This error was suppressed.
This happens if i try to use any enviromental variables to map drives to 2008R2 servers or Windows7 Clients. Does anyone know how to solve this surely i must be able to map drives to Windows 7 machines via group policy using variables it would seem like madness
if its not possible.

This is a link where you can find a list of Windows Environment Variable:
http://www.technipages.com/list-of-windows-environment-variables.html
It should help you.
I have another link for another person who faced the same problem with the %logonuser% variable, so have a look at it:

Windows 7 and dv4-1125nr TrackPad - scrolling won't work

I have installed all the latest drivers via HP support's website and the trackpad's scrolling won't work on my dv4-1125nr when in Windows 7. It works fine in Vista, so I'm wondering if there is a way to get it working properly in Win 7. Also the software update manager is not available for download under my model number. If that was available, perhaps that would find a necessary download and install accordingly. Any help is greatly appreciated as this is a major annoyance!! Thanks!

Hi Daniel, thanks for your post, recently I also upgraded my laptop(dv4-1125nr) from vista to Win 7 ultimate, after then my touchpad(touch keys just above the keyboard, it contain mute, vol. up or down, wireless active or inactive) is not able to work.
You informed that we need uninstall and then install Synaptics touchpad for Win7 by HP here
I would like to know which driver i need to uninstall and then install above one and even i attached my laptop contral panel screen shot for your reference. your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Praveen Kumar. K

Pop up window, and window.opener function using workshop?

hi,
pop up window, and window.opener function using workshop?
hi,
i am having two folders.
one folder having
abc.jpf file,
test1.jsp
second folder having
xyz.jpf
test2.jsp
i am using weblogic workshop8.1
i need to call test2.jsp as pop up window
from test1.jsp.
i need to pass value from test1.jsp to test2.jsp
again i need pass value from test2.jsp to test1.jap
normal jsp programming we can use window opener
javascipt function to do above.
same thing how to us in weblogic workshop?
any can help?
thanks,
jp reddy

Hi,
assuming action.do is the action method of ....../folder1/abc.jpf you can try out this in the test1.jsp,
function openNameHistory(url) {
var args = "<%= request.getContextPath() %>/folder1/"+url;
window.showModalDialog(args,'','dialogHeight:320px;dialogWidth:600px;scroll:yes;status:no');
<netui:anchor href="javascript:openNameHistory('action.do')">Name History</netui:anchor>
u need not specify the abc.jpf in the url because , workshop allows only one jpf per folder
hope this helps...

Hi Pauley,
I thought you are moving from unix to windows. Now I got it.
Make sure that the folder is shared and have necessary permissions. Please see few suggestions here:

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

This is from my personal experience:
It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work.

I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work and has this error:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Any ideas why iTunes renders my DVD drive unusable? I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and when reinstalling I had my device manager open and saw during the installation how my DVD player went from accessible to not being able to start.
Why is this happening?
Here is my computer information:
Dell
Latitude D630
Intel Core Duo CPU T770 @2.40 Hz
4.00 GB RAM
32-bit Operating System
Thank you,
Kelly

There's a few different possibilities with a code 10, Kelly. To narrow in on the likeliest culprits it would help to have a closer look at your system.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

My friend has exact same Mac and CC and he has the same problem. We both have up to date Yosemite and CC versions.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Could you please confirm the CC application you are using.
It would be great if you post a screenshot of the problem.

Software Update (under the Apple menu).

Remove preferences on Mac OS
Quit Dreamweaver.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
Try to re-create problem
After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
To replace the original preferences:
Quit dreamweaver.
Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

Had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, new iPhoto etc. just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No rosetta and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

I had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, snow leopard and mountain lion, just to connect my new iPhone 5 and somewhere between uploading iPhone 4S pics to iCloud some important pics disappeared then installed new iTunes and purchased new iPhoto all just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No Rosetta to make apps work but its not as simple as upgrading apps and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

File a complaint with Apple for not giving adequate warning before upgrading OS X that it would render PPC programs dead.
That someone at Apple said requiring the iPhone 5 to have 10.8 (10.6.8 is the minimum actually) and in order to remain a loyal Apple customer they need to fix this mess and revert your machine and software back to 10.6.8
You see, 10.6.8 would have ran your iPhone 5 and ran your PPC based software, so whoever told you to upgrade to 10.8 was wrong and they need to fix your machine.
It can be reverted to 10.6.8 yourself.

Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.
