Windows XP to Windows 8.1 update 1 - ADK 8.1 with Confi manager 2012 R2

Hi , 
We have windows xp systems that need to be migrated as referesh and replace to Windows 8.1 Update 1. 
It is ADK 8.1 with Config manager 2012 R2. I remember there was a WinPE issue with ADK 8.0 is need to support win XP-win 7\8 migrations for refresh\replace (need to have custom WinPE 3.x that could not be modified inside config manager 2012 R2 console).
I am hearing that this limitation has been removed with ADK 8.1  + Config manager 2012 R2 and we can migrate Win XP machine directly using default WinPE (no need of creating custom WinPE 3.x) to windows 8.1 update 1. Can anyone share there experience?
share some pointers to verify this? 
or Is it that WinPE 3.x is still a requirement for migrating XP to Windows 8.1\Update 1?
We will have refresh and replace migrations using State Migration Point with USMT. 
Any pointers will be appreciated. 
Regards,

  • Updated ID CC 2014 with Feb 2015 release, ungrouping objects causes them to vanish

    I'm using Windows 7, CC 2014 and just updated the program today with the Feb 2015 release.
    I have grouped a few objects, moved them to another page in a document and now when I ungroup them, they vanish. Thank you for your assistance.

    @Westina – wow. Did some testing and can see this as well.
    It seems to be a new bug in the new feature "Ungroup Remembers Layers" of the Groups Panel.
    I have to investigate this a little more, but I think this could happen, if you:
    Create a new document with facing pages pages.
    Make it two pages long.
    Begin numbering with 1.
    Draw out two rectangles on page number 1, object A and object B.
    Add a new layer. Now we have layer 1 and layer 2.
    1. Position  object B on layer 2
    2. Position  object A on layer 1
    3. Group both objects to group G
    4. Make layer 1 invisible
    5. Moving by holding the alt key + dragging G to page two => duplicating G to G2
    6. Ungroup G2
    All objects from ungrouping G2 have "vanished".
    Well, this must be a bug.
    I checked by script, if the vanished page objects are still there, but somehow invisible after turning on visibility on all layers:
    If one does the 6 steps above on an new document, one should have 5 objects in the document after step 6:
    1. Object G on page 1 (a group without its element does count here as object)
    2. Object A inside the group on page one
    3. Object B inside the group on page one
    4. Ungouped duplicate of Object A on page two
    5. Ungouped duplicate of Object B on page two
    A quick check by script is telleing me:
    Not all is lost, the vanished object are somehow there, but where?
    First thing: I set all my layers to visible.
    Second thing: I changed my view to zoom out 18 % and realised that:
    The ungrouped objects are misplaced:
    Positioned on the pasteboard of spread 1 (page 1).
    I recorded a little movie of my German InDesign CC 2014.2 on OSX 10.7.5 one can download from my Dropbox account to show you this:

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

  • After updating to Windows 8.1, Windows Explorer crashes.

    Hello, I have recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. When it finished the install and reboot, it went to my desktop where my background image was gone, Kaspersky Pure 3.0 was gone, and Windows Explorer crashes every time it is opened. The other
    two problems are not as big of a problem right now so I searched around for a fix on this issue. I found that some applications, specifically Autodesk, were causing conflicts. I don't have Autodesk but I decided to update everything anyways. I reinstalled
    Kaspersky, fully updated it and ran a scan to see if it was a virus, which it is not. I updated AVG 2014 free, Malwarebytes free, and many others. I also ran Windows Update. I ran CCleaner to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't either. I looked at
    the error report and saw that it was caused by StackHash_35ff, which through further investigation turned out to be a fancy term for nothing. What is my problem? I really don't want to restore to an older version because I've spent the better part of the day
    allowing Windows 8.1 to bother me. Please help because I'm out of ideas and nothing from other responses seemed to be the solution.

    Okay, so the above worked. I ended the Com Surrogate task, the went into cmd and typed in these two commands;
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    regsvr32 jscript.dll
    Everything seems to be back in order. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem, seeing as no one else came up with this solution.

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
    I hope this helps.

  • My computer uses Windows XP.  The latest Apple Update for iTunes ruined everything.  It won't load the software, and I'm getting flooded with error messages.  Is this latest update a bunch of crap?

    My computers uses WindowsXP.  The latest Apple Software Update put the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work.  I've tried that instructions on the Apple homepage (delete program, reinstall, etc.), and nothing works.  What's worse is that I'm getting error messages every time I log on to my computer.  Is this latest version a pile of pooh?  Anybody know how to fix this?  Or do I need to wait for Apple to figure out where they screwed up?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
    You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

  • Windows 8 to 8.1 automatic update doesn't finish

    (Model # m6-k010dx) My new laptop after 13 months automatically updated from windows 8 to 8.1 after I had said 'no' as many times as it allowed. After the update my files are still on it and most things are there but it seems 'stuck' and the orange screen keeps flickering like start to desktop so fast you usually can't even click anything in time to open it before it switches. I was told that the drivers probably needed to be updated first (eventhough I am pretty sure I kept up with all my other updates that popped up the only one I postponed was 8.1) and that I should refresh it, so I lose my programs but keep my files. I'm so sad I now lost Photoshop cs6 and my prefered antivirus (webroot) But anyway back to 8.0, it functioned fine aside from annoying pop ups to install norton antivirus no thank you, i bought webroot again. no updates were available.
    I went to HP.com drivers update, searched for my pc and its correct update, and next thing I know is it's installing windows 8.1....??!
    So again when it's 'done' and reboots, the screens flicker forever. I shut down, restart, same. so I put it back to windows 8... i have just been borrowing my friends computer to get work down and contact geeksquad on my 1 day off but they only tell me to go to best buy and pay them $127 for them to update my PC to an UNWANTED OS. But i have to give my friend his PC back soon. Please help asap!!!
    Also forgot to mention when the screens are flickering, a few explorer.exe - application errors pop up on occaision. IE: "the instruction at 0xaa0c663c referenced memory at 0xaa0c663c. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program." was one the last time,
    and the time before it, the initial windows 8.1 update when I still had Webroot antivirus, the pop up said "the instruction at 0x9b63663c referenced memory at 0x9b63663c. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program." the other pop ups the initial time came from Webroot - IE: "This file is trying to install itself to start every time the computer turns on  C:\Windows\system32\DrvInst.exe" and gives the options to block, allow once, or allow always.
    Another trying to install every time computer starts is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\WMIADAP.EXE"
    and another is : "Process ID: 4244 
    Thread ID: 3460

    Access: Write

    I searched all of those but found nothing. THank you in advance

    Hi @ASAP666 
    Thank you for your query, I will try my utmost to help you resolve this difficulty.
    As you seem to be getting multiple errors I suggest you do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
    This will reinstall the Windows 8 OS but should not affect your personal setting.
    If you do not want the update here is a link to  Turn automatic updating on or off
    from windows.microsoft.com
    Before trying the update again please run the  HP Support Assistant   to aid with HP updates?
    Once that has be accomplished here is a link to Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 to help you with the Windows 8.1 update.
    If you do not want the Norton as you have Webroot you can uninstall the program.
    Good Luck!

  • I have disabled all Kaspersky security, windows firewall and windows defender and Itunes still will not update my Ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 5, Helppppp!

    I can't get the IOS 5 to work for windows Vista.  I'm running kaspersky pure 2.0, windows firewall and windows defender.  I have turned them all off, I then attach my Ipod 4th gen and I get the "cannot connect to itunes update server".  I ran diagnostics in itunes and it tells me I dont have a internet connection.  I'm on the internet right now, and I DO have a internet connection, but it tells me Itunes says otherwise.  I'm able to send this message on the same pc with internet connection but keep running into this error.  I have now read discussiong boards through apple and disabled all my firewalls, still no luck.  I was able to update the lates version of itunes, and just waiting to get my ipod updated now, please help me.

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

  • HT2305 Since updating my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7, my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation does not recognize last 3 playlist names; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 4 -- even though in the panel the names are showing just fine. The music

    I have recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I have just added three new playlists to my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation. On the panel in ITunes in view on the computer, all looks fine and music plays. However, after syncing a million times, when clicking to "hear" the playlists, the voice will call out all the old playlists just fine - except for the 3 new ones I've added; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 8, or "purchased". All software for the ITunes has been updated as of the moment. Why would switching from Vista to Windows 7 cause this frustrating issue? All help appreciated.

    From page 23 of your iPod's User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    If VoiceOver is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
    So you'll want to make sure VoiceOver is enabled to correct this.

  • I'm trying to run an Apple itunes update  on my Dell   with Windows 7. Doing so I do get the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support

    I am trying to update my iphone 4, but in order to do that I need to update itunes.  I am unable to do this, or update quicktime.  I get an error message that says
    "A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have a dell running windows 7

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

    My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

    Restarted router(s) and it works again.

  • Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

    Hello,
    I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
    I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
    What could be the problem?
    Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
    for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
    When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
    The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
    in task category Windows Update Agent..
    I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    registry key as suggested in Windows
    Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
    "ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
    "ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
    Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
    However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.  
    Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
    Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
    Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
    Thank you in advance.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi,
    According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
    You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
    On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.
