Windows Authentication and Zenworks Problem

I have Zenworks 6.5.1.0 on my desktop. I make my computer part of our
win2k3 domain. When I try to connect to sql server through the client
tools using windows authentication the domain name doesn't show up
correctly. It will show up as the computer_name/username instead of
domain/username. This is also a problem for trying to setup applications to
use windows authentication instead of sql server authentication.
If I uninstall zenworks the problem goes away. Nevertheless, this isn't a
solution. I would appreciate any info you can give.

OK, here is what I would do pending more input from you..........
1)Setup IDM (Identity Mgr) to synch all E-Dir IDs into the Domain.
You should have this product for free if you have Maint on ZEN or NetWare)
2)On all PCs in the Domain, push this key to block the use of DLU.
Now every user will be able to use any PC.
If the PC is in the Domain, they will use domain authentication.
If the PC is not in the Domain, they will use DLU to logging automatically.

Authentication and Authorization Problems with IIS 6 and Jrun 4

Hello all,
I am using IIS 6 with JRun 4 as my app server, and I am having problems trying to get authentication and role authorization with Windows Integrated Authentication to work. I have set up IIS 6 to pass-through the authentication credentials to Jrun, without using an anonymous user. What I have done is written a small test servlet that displays the username of the logged in user, and then tries to check if a user is in a test role that I set up in my database. I have specified that a roles table is to be used by specifying a JDBCLoginModule in Jrun's auth.config file. The code for the servlet is below:
package testauthenticationapp;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class SecureTestServlet extends HttpServlet {
   private static final String CONTENT_TYPE =
      "text/html; charset=windows-1252";
   public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
      super.init(config);
   public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                     HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
                                                          IOException {
      response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
      PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
      out.println("<h3>REMOTE USER: " + request.getRemoteUser() + "</h3>");
      if (request.getUserPrincipal() != null){
         out.println("<h3>" +request.getUserPrincipal().getName() + "</h3>");
      } else{
         out.println("<h3>User Principal is null</h3>");
      if (request.isUserInRole("Test_Role")){
         out.println("<h3>User is in Test_Role</h3>");
      } else {
         out.println("<h3>User is NOT in Test_Role</h3>");
      out.close();
1. What I am seeing is that when request.getRemoteUser() is called, the username information is what I expect it to be. It is of the form <Domain>\<Username>. When I try to redisplay the username using the request object's Principal object, the call to request.getUserPrincipal() returns null. This is a little confusing to me since I thought that essentially getRemoteUser() was a short cut for calling getUserPrincipal().getName(), and if I get something for getRemoteUser, getUserPrinicipal should return something as well. I guess they work differently at some level. Has anyone ever encountered this before?
2. When I call request.isUserInRole("Test_Role"), it returns false. I've checked the role name being called for typos in both my database and in the code, and that does not seem to be the case. I think the setup in auth.config is properly configured because I have created many other applications using declaritive FORM based authentication, and the role information was retrieved fine from the database. I would think that when I use request.isUserInRole in my servlet code it would use the same role information, but I could be wrong since this is a different type of authentication. Do you think that the reason request.isUserInRole() is returning false could be tied to the fact that request.getUserPrincipal() is returning null (even though getRemoteUser() is returning a valid username)? How does request.isUserInRole() get its user information, by using getUserPrincipal().getName() or getRemoteUser()?
Any help that is provided is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Windows Keboard and Booting Problem (on a Mac laptop)

Hi, I've been putting up with a really strange (and annoying) problem that my laptop has been going through. I have a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro with OS Leopard, and I put on a Windows XP Pro (with Service Pack 2) NTFS partition. It used to work fast at first--especially booting up and logging on. I have noticed that now when I log onto Windows (no other user accounts , just mine) the wallpaper, desktop, desktop icons, start bar, all load. But when I click on My Computer it takes a good minute and a half for all the components to be displayed (like C drive , the CD drive, Shared Documents). I only have one partition which is C drive. But for a minute and a half, the flashlight icon keeps moving back and forth. Even if I click on any icon, the cursor will turn into a sandtimer but no programs will open once all the drives show up in the My Computer window.
My initial theory was that maybe it's searching for My Documents which I shifted to one of my external harddrives. But that doesn;t seem to be it. When I log off and log back in, it loads much faster. I can open programs in 2 seconds. Also, I realized that the Apple keyboard features (which is controlling volume and brightness) works only then. If I had to boot up Windows, not only does it take long to load (although shutting down is pretty quick), the brightness and volume keys don't work. I have to set it manually through Control Panel. So now if I have to open up Windows, the ritual is that I sit around for a minute and a half (which is a very long time if u think about it) and just when it's working I force myself to log off (so the volume and brightness keys work once I log back on)
I suppose it's worth mentioning that I had downloaded this "skin" which makes XP look like Vista, but I uninstalled it now although not completely since it needed the Service Pack 2 CD which I don't have at the moment (I'm on vacation) . I would think that could be the problem, but then why does simply logging off and on make Windows work like a charm? Is it an update glitch? Has anyone had this problem before? Could somebody please help me since I'm really tired of waiting around or this stupid thing to load (not to mention hearing myself come up with stupid theories). This has been going on for 4 and half months now. Come to think of it it's been a while since I received any Bootcamp updates from Apple (unless they just haven't released any that could fix such a problem)
Just in case my specs are-- 2.4 GhZ, OS 10.5, nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 15 inch display, 250 GB (of which 30 GB is for Windows).
I'll be waiting for any answers/suggestions/tips/solutions. Thanks so much in advance =)

Windows 8 and itunes problem (iphone not showing up as a device)

My new PC laptop has Windows 8 and in itunes my iphone doesn't show up as a device when I connect it to the laptop. I've tried all the fixes mentioned.

Try one or more of the following:
- Restart your computer
- Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
- Reset iPhone (will NOT delete everything) [Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Settings]
- Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if it shows (should show as a digital camera)
- Restore iPhone (will DELETE everything) [Settings>>General>>Reset>>Erase All Content & Settings]
- Make sure iTunes & iOS Firmware is up to date.

Windows XP and Mac Problem

I have 3 iPods, mine, by younger brothers, and my older brothers. My older brothers has been used on a Mac and works fine he hasn't tried to use it on the windows computer yet. My iPod has gotten all of its songs from the Windows computer. My younger brothers iPod got all of its songs from the Mac and wants the songs off of the Windows computer also. The Windows XP computer keeps saying that the iPod is not readable and needs updating. I have tried updating it and it says that it has the latest software at that point. Is there any way to get the songs from both the Mac and Windows XP computer onto the same iPod?

Fire fox will not open and give the message that program is already running when it is not and i have to restart my computer. i am running windows xp and this problem started after the last up date. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program

is this a known issue?

If you close Firefox properly the problem will practically disappear.
To close Firefox properly:
:<b>Closing Firefox</b> ''(#close_firefox)'', avoid getting <b>Firefox already running</b> messages:  To properly shutdown Firefox when multiple windows or closing the
last window use File → Exit/Quit (or Firefox button → Exit).  Closing Firefox with the [X] in the upper right corner closes the window ("Ctrl+W") but that does not necessarily close Firefox if it has subtasks running.  If you want to close and reopen Firefox use the "Restart" within Add-ons if you made a change requiring a restart, or install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/ Restartless Restart]" ("Ctrl+Alt+R") which will allow you to take Firefox down and restart without having to check the Windows Task Manager to see if Firefox first actually ended. ([http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs Firefox hangs])
In checking the Windows Task Manager be sure to check the "Process" tab not the "Application"tab/

Trying to install Itunes on windows 7 and having problems with windows installer

Trying to upgrade itunes 9 to 10 and updates through itunes have been unsuccessful. I have downloaded itunes 10 from Apple but when trying to install it on my computer I get the error message: " The windows installer service could not be accessed.

Windows 8 and CSS problems (FF 16 & 17)

I just got a brand spanking new Win 8 computer (intl English). The only things installed on it are Adobe Master's Collection, Steam, Office and Firefox. In addition I tried installing adblocker, because that's a must for me and if this problem is resolved by removing it I will have to switch to another browser.
Now, the problem is that FF is having problems loading pages with CSS. Occasionally, this results in a pages with nothing at all (except background color, it seems) or with just unformatted text. Most of the time this is fixed by doing a shift+reload, but not always. Some times it's just partially fixed and some elements don't load still.
I've tried disabling all extensions and plugins and I've also tried resetting FF. The problem always comes back. I've even tried resetting my hosts file.
Do you have any more ways of fixing it? I believe I've done everything in my power, except change browsers (which I really don't want to do unless it's my only option).
The only thing I haven't tried, which I'll try now, is unpin all my app tabs and see if that fixes anything. I'll update this if I can...
Pages affected: Facebook (some of the time), Couch Potato (installed on my server - never seen this on other computers or even other browsers on my computer, always), MyFitnessPal (occasionally), and some low-tech dating page I'm on.
Cheers,
Lars

So, it still happens with a new an clean profile without extensions?
In that case you may have security software (firewall, anti-virus) that block some content.
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
You can also try to use the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K) to see if you can identify network related issues.

I am working within domain environment using windows server 2012 R2 as domain controller and my client computers are windows 7 professional and windows XP ,,,
the problem is windows XP can NOT access the shared files on windows 7 computers ,, and gives a message that you do not have permission to access this network resource when you enter the IP address or FQDN of the computer that hold the share files ,,,, i.e.
put \\X.X.X.X in RUN bar ,,,, even the permission is established correctly , network works well and the firewall is turned off ,,
but the strange thing that when restarting windows 7 then windows xp clients can access the shared files for some period of time may be some hours then the problem comes back again and i have to reboot windows 7 to fix the problem.

N78 Window Transition and Update Problem

Hello!
I finally updated the firmware of my N78. However, I noticed that not all features are functioning well. One would be the volume control. Before, I use the upper side buttons to control it when my phones either on standby, using the radio or using realplayer. And, the transition from the portrait mode (phone's normal mode) to landscape mode (mode for viewing pictures, videos, and when using the camera) is gone. Before, the screen rotates. Now, when i press my camera button, my phone goes to camera mode but the screen does not rotate.it only fades with some nasty random lines transition. actually i dont call that a transition. the same goes when i view my pictures and my videos. there is no window transition. is there a problem in my phone. what should i do?

Hi,
thank you for replying mark_kehl!!! it seems that your solution worked. however, i still have other problems like the volume control button. sometimes, my phone suddenly halts when i am using music player. hmmmm... i believe that my phone is really defective. Nokia has already advised me to return this phone to the store where i bought it but... unfortunately, i dont have time. i am traveling very often and there are more important business to attend to than returning my defective phone.isnt it that nokia should really check its products before being they are put to the market. i am really bothered about this. i mean, as far as i know, nokia has the largest market share when it comes to mobile phones and related electronics... but i'm sure... because of these minor imperfections... its fellow competitors in the market will grab those unsatisfied costumers. anyway, its not my concern. i'm planning to sell my phone next year and probably, i'll buy an LG, Samsung or Sony-Ericson phone. it seems that i overestimated nokia. i committed a fallacy: argumentum ad populum... hahahahaha.
oh... it seems it is time for me to travel again...
thanks again for your reply... merry christmas!!! have a bountiful new year!!!

Windows 10 and audio problems

Just downloaded the Windows 10 upgrade on my Envy 17. My internal Beats audio isnt working. Although the sound on my wireless hedphones works just fine. Are there updated drivers required for the internl sound? I have not tried printing or scanning as of yet, should I expect problems in that area as well? Thanks

Firefox recently started crashing for no apparent reason. I have been using it for years, 6 months on this computyer with Windows 7 and no problems.

It most often crashes when I am accessing a wmv file, but it has happened numerous times when I am asking nothing of it, just sitting there . I always check the boxes that send the report to headquarters and report the page I was on and all that, but nothing in the help files has helped so far. I run Ad-Aware and Spybot regularly and have Norton as my normal security software. Naturally! Oh, the frustrations with working with crazy electrons.

I'll get right on it! Thanks for that tip. I'll check back in with a full status report as soon as I can try it out.
