Windows 7 firewall fails to restore default policy error 3

Currently, I am using Windows 7 32bits OS.
First, I found that my Network Discovery won't stay ticked. After some troubleshooting on network problems, I found that my windows firewall is configurated wrongly.
Next, I tried to restore default policy of windows firewall through Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. But it failed (msg:Could not restore the default policy Error:3).
Then, I tried to use "netsh advfirewall reset" in cmd. However, the result is still the same (An unrecoverable Windows Firewall error <0x3> occured).
I had also tried the methods suggested in <<Windows Firewall damaged by 'Windows 7 antivirus 2012'>>
But the problem still cannot be solved.
Will anyone help me please??
Thanks

The ehow article is erroneous. There is no "reset" command in the advfirewall context. "reset" was part of the deprecated "firewall" context.
C:\Windows\system32>netsh advfirewall firewall reset
The following command was not found: advfirewall firewall reset.
C:\Windows\system32>netsh advfirewall firewall help
The following commands are available:

Note the conspicuous absence of "reset."
My own problem is that I've removed Alureon and Sirefef.AB from an office computer and one of them wiped out all of the firewall rules, and neither importing policies exported on another computer nor restoring default settings works. Both result in an "Error
5," whatever that is. Anybody have any ideas?

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH WHAT TO DO?

1)Do u have a third party security software installed?
This could be due to that... What are the different virus scans you are already having.. there may be third party firewall or security product
which is interfering the windows firewall.. disable one by one your security scanners and try to up the windows firewall
(2)if you dont have such firewall product installed, this could be due to malware or some other problem...
if you have an antivirus solution, update it's definitions, and do a full system scan..
If you dont have a antivirus solution or your one is not working, use one of the recommended tools (use only one of
them at a time)

3GS froze, then said Activation required, now fails to restore with unknown error (1)

My 3GS froze while using Navigon, then showing a pop-up saying "Activation required". When tapping the pop-up, an unusual white question box regarding location service shows up, after tapping "next" the process hangs. Connected to iTunes later, same procedure again, hangs again. When trying restore with iTunes, the whole load process looks ok, but at the end fails with "unknown error (1)", probably when trying to rstart the phone. I tried all variations (restore mode, DFU mode, hard reset) but no luck. The phone was recently officially unlocked (AT&T), could this be a factor? Or is this a harware problem? Any ideas aor hints welcome.
Thanks,
Manfred

Thanks for the pointer to the KB article. Error 1 is missing from the list provided by iTunes (more information), but I was afraid it means hardware. Will try on another computer, but I'm afraid the phone is sick.
Thanks,

Failed to restore iPod touch (Error code 9)

Few days after upgarding my iPod touch to iOS 5, I got a message on the iPod saying I need to connect to iTunes.
After connecting to teh iPod to the PC, the iTunes says I need to restore the device.
I tried to restore few times with no success - each time the follwoing message is displayed:
"The iPod could not be restored. An unkown error occured (9)".
How can I restore the iPod back to normal operation ?
Roy

Try this, copied from Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Can anybody shed some light on these errors. Especially the User daemon not found error.
We are running ZCM 10.3.1. Clients are WinXP SP3, most of them having the ZCM 10.3.0 agent on them.
Thanks!

I have three labs on the 2nd floor. Students need to be able to print to all the printers in each lab just to be flexible in case there is a printer problem. However, each lab required that its printer be the default. So yes I created two printer policies for each printer that needed to be a default printer for one of the labs. But I'm not having nearly the amount of difficulty with getting them to work.
I believe there is a setting on the printer policy that will remove all other printers except for the ones delivered from ZEN. So that might be an option for.
I was frustrated, at first, that I couldn't have more than one printer per policy at times, but my current work around is really not so bad.
I end up with 7 printer policies to handle the 4 printers in three labs. However, because they are all single printer policies, it is pretty obvious exactly what is being assigned without having to drill down into the policy itself. It makes it really simple to see what the printer setup is then for the dynamic groups we use for the labs or for an individual workstation. So it has actually grown on me quite a bit. Here is how mine are laid out for just this snippet of our environment. Most of the other labs only have one printer to deal with so this is really the only mildly complex setup.
Lab 200 - Printer200 (default), Printer210, Printer211, Printer211color
Lab 210 - Printer210 (default), Printer200, Printer211, Printer211color
Lab 211 - Printer 211 (default), Printer200, Printer210, Printer211color
It is going to get a lot more complicated when we start rolling through faculty and staff, but I think I'm going to take the same approach. Every printer gets at least one printer policy object. If a printer needs to be a default printer for someone then it will get a new printer policy that is set to make it the default.
As I think through our printing environment, this approach may actually use less printer policies than setting up a printer policy with multiple printers for every situation. There will be far more re-use of the individual policies than there would be for multiple printer policies. I think at the very least it would be a wash between the two options.

(Running Windows 7 Home Premium) When Firefox 4.0 hangs (forcing a shutdown) or crashes (the screen has even gone to black) my windows fail to restore most of the time.

On the occasions when the windows fail to restore, I usually see a blank start page with something to the effect of "about:restore" or "about:restore session" in the URL line. I've tried pressing enter, but it didn't help. Other times, I've immediately tried going to the History menu, but the "Restore Previous Session" menu pick is faded out. I followed the help posted here to activate the restore windows feature, but the windows still fail to restore most of the time. I'm not a techie, so I'd really appreciate some easy to understand help.

The DMP file is inconclusive. You could run driver verifier to find the underlying issue but WPR is often easier.
In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Help with installation (if needed) is here
When you have, open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following:
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO.
If you problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry) Please configure your as per the below snip
Click Start
It will reboot 3 t imes and record the data to a file and tell you its name and location.
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.
These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.
2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)

TM2 unable to restore Windows 7 after Windows 8 Release Preview - have restore DVDs, still fails.

Hello! I've pretty much run out of idea's on how to troubleshoot this so I'll do a summary of what I changed with the machine and then troubleshooting details further on. The particular hp touchsmart notebook I have is a TM2 1079cl, Product Number: WA812UA#ABA. I've only had it for the length of 2012, I purchased it used from another person about 1 year ago now specifically to toy with Windows 8 before it's release. As far as the hardwares actual age I can tell from the warrenty information that it was manufactured in late 2009, it states the warranty period was from January 2010 to Jan 2011.
Alright, so my history with the OS changes goes:
-> Purchased this TM2 in early 2012, ran the recovery partition to wipe it clean of the previous owners use and it ran through installation perfectly fine, then on a clean Windows 7 as if it were new. I'd also made use of a bootable Acronis True Image 2010 disk to make a hard disk image of the three other partitions for recovery (though I did not include the freshly installed windows 7 partition, figured it wouldn't matter if recovery could do it's thing right?)
-> Some days later I loaded the second of the three preview releases for Windows 8 onto it (Customer Preview build I believe).   All worked fine and it dual booted between the two without issue, afaik the only real changes it made amounted to converting the primary partition Windows 7 was installed on to an extended partition and splitting the existing Windows 7 partition equally 50/50 inside that extended partition. It had also overriden the boot manager / bootloader that was there before but again not surprised.
-> When Release Preview build came out over summer I did an update from inside windows 8 and all seemed fine still. The change between the two preview builds did develop an issue where I couldn't shut windows 8 down without a handful of error boxes poping up but I'm pretty sure that was unrelated.
-> More recently about thanksgiving time I decided to give the laptop to a family member with a archiac desktop that's got issues and general old factor that makes it not worth updating.   This person is pretty adverse to change so that whole "Win8-vs-what people are used to" thing comes into play.   I decided to wipe the TM2 clean back to the OS it shipped with.    Here's where I'm now stuck:
=> Before doing anything I made another True Image of the HDD as a just incase, glad I did.
=> Tried F11 to load the recovery partition only to find that because of the bootloader being tampered with by Windows 8 it doesn't actually go to the HP recovery partition anymore despite still being on the hard drive.
=> Grabbed the hard disk image from the beginning of the year with the recovery partition on it before windows 8 touched the machine, wiped the hdd completely clean, restored the disk image.   I could now get into HP recovery fine but....
=> I got a dialog error right off the bat saying that the recovery partition could not install and instructing me to insert disc 1 of the recovery software. Well I never made the dvd's myself with the one-time use burning feature when it worked so that's out and I had not bought the discs from HP's support site.   At this point I'm puzzled though why the recovery partition can't install despite the computer loading up into recovery just fine. For example command prompt in the Windows PE environment is functional and all files seem to be present. Maybe some verification that the recovery partition isn't pirated might have been triggered by hard disk imaging, i'm really not sure?
=> I then made used of the HDD image I'd just created before trying this and restored the other copy of the drive (Win8 tampered bootloader, Win8 release preview, win7, the inaccessible recovery partition and all).   Windows 7 and 8-RP could still boot.   Googled around a bit about the recovery partition key (F11) getting messed up by Windows 8 and came to find I only needed to set recovery as the "Active" partition to get it to start. Sure enough that got it to start but I'm running into the same issue where the actual recovery partition loads up but now refuses to begin the restore process without HP dvd's. Since I know for certain this worked months ago I guess once again since I ended up restoring that version of the recovery partition it may have also declared itself tampered with... great.
=> Contemplated what to do for a bit and then finally just ordered the DVD's from HP in December, I specifically got the recovery DVD's for my model and they did come from HP directly, not second hand from ebay or another person. Wasn't really that bad, $16, very reasonable price. Should be set right, legit OEM DVD's to use? Nope....
=> The DVD's came. Two discs for main recovery and a third for applications and drivers.   Boot off disc one and it states it's formatting the drive how it wants (good, i'm liking this so far), copies all of the contents of the three discs to the hdd and begins it's reboot and install cycle.    Reboots a handful of times, you can tell it gets well past copying the contents of any of the discs and into installing windows. You see the Windows 7 boot logo a few times and even the standard "preparing your things" background that's similar to the Windows 7 login screen. The screen definitely gets as far as installing the proper graphics driver (and others I assume at that time) as the resolution changes to native for the TM2's LCD near the end.
=> Suddenly on the 3rd or 4th (I think) reboot of installing windows it starts for a moment then says shutting down, it reboots and it's back in the windows PE environment of recovery setup again (this time coming from the hard drive, not the DVDs) and says it's failed to restore and offers to start everything over from the very beginning.
That's where I'm stuck. The Recovery Partition died on me post-Windows 8 and the offical HP recovery DVD's are failing me (and oddly they're failing me seemingly in the very last steps of windows 7 restore, well after the DVD's themselves are no longer being read from).
>> Question 1: Does the HP recovery partition "self destruct" if it gets imaged by hard drive imaging software and restored? I can confirm mine worked fine once and then dead after going through Acronis True Image. Another possibility is maybe there's some ID's or tattooing of the hard drive or specific partitions that was lost when Windows 8 put it's newer bootloader into the machine or lost from Acronis? This is still the oem hdd that came with the computer, it has not been switched out.
>> Question 2: Are there any known problems with the official Windows 7 recovery DVD's for a late 2009 TM2 1079cl? I'm also aware of the Cyberlink recovery software patch / pre-install disc and tried this with results that were no different to without it. That said my machine does have the Cyberlink version of the recovery software, I read there's something like 3 different companies software for recovery depending on time period the laptop was made and sold.
Reference: [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-80183-1 ]
>> Question 3: Plainly put, what now? Anything else to try or do I need to go find an RTM windows 7 disc and scrounge all the driver zips together? (Very much hoping to avoid that, I'm actually pretty curious to really understand what happened here and while that'll work it would answer nothing. hehe).
Maybe related things as well: Some searches led me to believe having the WLAN switch off at the start of recovery causes driver installation to flip out (and indeed win7 seems to drop dead during the last steps of driver install) however it's not possible it would seem to turn the WLAN card "on" before this point. Switch won't bring it to enabled state anyways.   As I mentioned above the Cyberlink recovery software patch has no effect on things.   No parts have ever been changed in this machine, original hdd, wlan card, ram modules, ect.   I doubt the motherboard bios / firmware has ever been updated, machine states it's revision F.02.
I have at my disposal:
* A lot of time, actually, hense why I really want to know what happened and not use the Win7 RTM disc.
* hdd image of HP recovery before Win8 touched the machine.
* hdd image of recovery after Win8 and a kinda buggy but still bootable Win8-RP.
* The correct HP-made recovery DVD's for my laptop, ordered recently (December 2012).
* Confident enough to toy with partition editing tools should it be a suggestion, never really used much outside of gparted on linux live discs however. Considering the current state of the machine there's nothing to risk losing anymore though.
Sorry for the text wall! I like being very detailed!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have the tm2 and have not experience an issue with the recovery and wifi being off, but it certainly is in the realm of possibility. I just had not encountered it on my own tm2, so I subconsciously dismissed it or just didn't think of it as a result.
Thank you for sharing your solution with the community.

Windows 2008 R2 Firewall Fails to start

Ran into a problem where the Windows firewall Service fails to start after a reboot. The error is as follows:
The Windows Firewall service terminated with service-specific error This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
This has happened on a couple of servers (1 application server and 1 Print Server). The problem is intermittent, i.e out of 10 reboots it might occur 3 times. Manually starting the service works fine and the service starts with no errors.
I suspect a dependencies issue but I have kind of hit a brick wall and was hoping someone might have an idea what else to look at. Again, manually starting the service has never generated any error of any kind, and the service has always started.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

Hi Dave K,
Thanks for posting here.
Could you please post the full information of the only event here ? include the event ID, key words ..etc.
Actually if you can confirm that all other dependencies services of main firewall service "Windows Firewall" (MPSSVC) were started up and running property , you may
try to set the “startup type” option to “automatic (delayed start)” and reboot to see if this issue will reproduce.
Meanwhile, other methods for troubleshooting firewall startup issues could be found form the article below:

TrevorQ's idea works great! Thanks! I had already gone and gotten my second nano 4GB and the same thing happened both times after using the updater - called support on first and they had no answer. Thanks a bunch - was starting to lose hope after it happened again on the second one. Must be a problem with the updater 4-23-06 and the newest ITunes upgrade.
If you have trouble with the right click - after the ipod is highlighted then click on the file menu and play the waiting game again - format should appear in the menu after an extended wait. Good luck all!

Win 2K8 R2 - Group Policy Management - Failed to Open Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights. The network path was not found.

New to Windows Server 2008 R2 Administration.
I setup this Windows 2008 R2 Server on a Dell 2950 Poweredge server and have been migrating users off of an old NT style domain running on Samba 3.6 on CentOS.
I have the domain setup (nicholas.sacredheartsaratoga.org), added users, and have moved users / computers over to the new domain and working.
When attempting to setup Group Policy Objects, I continually get the "Failed to Open Group Policy Object" Error. This is driving me nuts and seems to be a 49 error.. which I have done a ton of research on but none of the suggested fixes seem
to be working.
I've been working at this for a couple of weeks and really need this fixed to be able to set GPO's correctly.

Firefox 12 failed to restore my previous session!

Hi there!
Well, last night I shut down my computer from the Start menu in Vista. I believe I had closed Firefox manually before I proceeded with the shut down. I don't think it has anything to do with the way you exit Firefox, but I'm just saying it.
I usually have several tabs open in Firefox, this time I had about 50 of them and every time I close Firefox it prompts me if I want to save the tabs. I don't think this is a default setting, I think I set this up myself. So I just click the option which saves my tabs so that the next time I start Firefox I can continue where I left off.
I believe I clicked the save button last night as well. But today I started up Firefox and the tabs were gone.
I did follow the procedure for restoring the last session as described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20save%20tabs%20and%20windows%20on%20exit?s=Firefox+12+failed+to+restore+previous+session%21&r=1&e=es&as=s
But the thing is I don't have the option to restore last session when I go to Firefox button and History.
Also, I have started and closed Firefox since that several times. So this restore option might only just restore the last tab I closed anyway. As described...
''If you close each window or tab, only the final window or tab that you closed will be available when you restart Firefox.''
Why did Firefox forget to restore my tabs?...
This happened to me once before but I don't remember how I restored the tabs.
And also, it happened once that Firefox failed to prompt me if I want to save my tabs, and instead prompted me with a whole different dialog, the one where it warns me that I'm about to close all open tabs and asks me to confirm.
There was no way around it so I intentionally ''crashed'' the computer, knowing that once I log on to Windows and start Firefox again it will restore my tabs automatically whether it wants to or not. And, of course, this proved to be true, all my tabs were back.
But did I really have to ''crash'' my comptuer for this? Maybe I could have crashed only the Firefox by terminating it's process... but it works either way. One time it asks, one time it doesn't ask to save tabs. Completely disregarding the settings! There is something seriously wrong here!
After that first incident I was again able to save my tabs on exit, it always asked me to save them from that point on, as I would expect it to. Until now...
Now it asks me if I ''want to'' save my tabs, and I say ''yes please'', just to find out the next morning it didn't restore them, as if they never were saved. Haha! LOL! Ridiculous! Haha, that Firefox 12! :) What a clown!
As mutch as this is a call for help in restoring those tabs, it is also a reminder to Firefox developers that something really stinks here! You need to work out the session save and restore mechanism in Firefox 12. Unluckily for me I had not installed the Session Manager extension. That's one tool that does better what Firefox should do by standard.

Yeah, if the tabs were not restored then unfortunately sessionstore.bak was overwritten. But you're taking it surprisingly well. :) Most people are pissed beyond belief, which is expected. :P
Also let me clear up the confusion between sessionstore.js & sessionstore.bak. Sessionstore.bak is the backup file that Firefox makes after every shutdown of Firefox. Sessionstore.js is the main file that stores all the data about tabs, app tabs and recently closed tabs & windows.
You can backup either one of these files but, like you did, it's best to check the modified timestamp on both files and most importantly their sizes. It will let you know how old that file is and the bigger the size of the file, the better. A 2kb file likely has 1 or 2 tabs, where a 500kb one has around 20 tabs or more.
But to keep it simple, just backup sessionstore.js.
And yes, great idea about Shadow Copy. I've used it on Windows 7 and it really is a life saver. I found it had around 20 or 30 backups for the places.sqlite which I was trying to recover. You could try to implement it on Vista with 3rd party software, I'd just read some reviews first.
Or you could install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager addon] we both discussed earlier. Unless you think adding that add-on is overkill or you don't want to weigh down Firefox with another addon? But in this case, I think it does do what you want, which is backup your sessionstore.js everyday or every few days. I think the setting is customizable.
I'm praying for the day they create a "sessionstorebackups" folder like they have for the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. That way we can have a better chance to recover the tabs.
'''Edit:''' You replied while I typed this. But great work! I didn't know Shadow Copy kept backups of files on Vista even though the service wasn't running. Anyway that's great news. And I see you'll be using Session Manager from now on. :D
And thanks for clearing up the part about Firefox prompting you to save your tabs at closing. I haven't seen Firefox do that in a while (the last version that showed that prompt was maybe 3.5?) so I was wondering what was going on there. :) Take care and have a good one!

Windows Update KB2926765 fails with error code 8024200D.

Note: it was recommended that I post this to TechNet. It was originally posted at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_update/vista-update-bug/ed9baacd-edd3-449f-b679-8f71614f3a15?msgId=ca75efe9-beea-41e9-afda-7ffe15f9b0f3.
Windows Update KB2926765 keeps failing to install. The error code is 8024200D.
I've run sfc /scannow with no errors.
I used the System File Checker tool http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us.
I ran the System Update Readiness tool. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=1540
The update still failed to install.
I've also run the MGADiag tool and the Microsoft FixIt windows update (wu) tool.
I then downloaded the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
and copied it to the Windows\CheckSUR\packages folder (after creating the "packages" folder) , and ran the Readiness tool again.
The update failed to install.
I ran the readiness tool again. This time the readiness tool found no errors.

I also recently ran the "automatic troubleshooter" MicrosoftFixit.wu.LB.236326420485116200.3.1.Run.exe and still have the problem.
We're using Windows Vista Business SP2 32 bit upgraded from XP. Antivirus - Bitdefender up to date. Previous antivirus - Avira Antivir and AVG. Firewall - Online Armor. The last successful update installation was Security Update for Office 2003 (KB2726929).
It and other updates have installed successfully (after the KB2926765 failure) and KB2926765 keeps failing.
Thanks.
