XP Activation with external Hd?

I'm not sure where else to post this question.
I have numerous PXI-8196 systems in the field that boot from an external SCSI disk (for security reasons). I initially configured them by creating a disk image of the internal HD (with XP already installed) on the SCSI disk and then removing the internal disks. Now we want to upgrade the processors with PXI-8108's, without losing any of the settings/files currently on the SCSI disks.
When I switch a PXI-8196 with a PXI-8108 and have it boot from the SCSI, it obviously recognizes that XP is running on different hardward and prompts me to Activate Windows. All attempts to perform MS activation fail, because MS doesn't recognize the installation ID. My understanding is that this is because NI (an OEM) handles XP licensing differently, somehow involving a special code written to the BIOS.
Short of having to back-up all user files from the SCSI, creating a new image (from the 8108's internal HD) on the SCSI, and then reinstalling all the applications on the SCSI, is there any other way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ken,
I have never heard that NI handles activation differently or using any BIOS codes. To my understanding, Windows activation just goes from your machine to the Microsoft servers.
When trying to activate, are you using the activation code for the 8196 or the 8108? Were they both purchased Windows XP Pro?
A couple of thoughts:
- If you are using the old activation code, it may be expired or exhausted (installed on too many machines).
- If you are using the new activation code, maybe the Windows ditributions don't match exactly. ex You cannot activate XP Professional with an XP Home code or vice-versa.
Have you tried talking to Microsoft? They may have some better input.

PS subcontracting with external activity

Hi,
I have a couple of questions about "PS subcontracting with external activity" I have not found any information about this for PS subcon flow, I was looking for a subcon PS Wiki but no succeed.
The scenario is to use a external activity to a subcontractor and put the material components to deliver in the external activity and check the subcon check box. Then use the valuated project stock for holding the materials.
For material components there is an option in tab "Proc. Param" and fiel "Mat. Prov. Ind." = "Material Provision Indicator", do you know if this option can be use or be available in PS? This field is grey so I can not do anything with it, so my guess is that option use only by a BOM, could you confirm that for me?
Right now I have a problem in the system so I can not save a project when creating a external activity and use the subcon check box, this is at OSS right now. But I was wondering if I put the material components in a external activity, how will it be represented in the PO?
Will it be only one item in the PO, the service from the external activity? and inside this item will hold all my material components? this can be found in tab "Material data" -> "Components".
Please share if you have some information about this,
Regards
Jose
PS Note that this scenario is not a MM subcon

abdul,
I'm talking what you can do in the system, there is 3 posibilities I have in mind:
Alternative 1
Is when I will send all the parts, thats right separated parts to be one. The material which will be the final material, is not in my stock/company. It is a new material Im manufacturing with the help of a subcontractor.
In PS I want to create a subcontracting external activity, create a PR from PS, create a PO and deliver it to the receiver in other words the subcontractor who will put it together to the final material.
For this alternative I think I have to create the material which the subcontractor will put together and have it as a head material in a BOM. The BOM will represent the parts Im sending for assembly, so when the material is deliver back to me, I will do a goods receipt of the head material.
My question is in this if I have thought this right, if you have experience of this please contact me.
Alternative 2
Is when I will send a existing material and all the parts which will be use to maintain/repair this particular material from my stock/company to a subcontractor who will do the work. This material will have the same material no. when I do the goods receipt.
In PS I want to create a subcontracting external activity, create a PR from PS, create a PO and deliver it to the receiver in other words the subcontractor who will maintain/repair the material.
For this alternative I think I can use a BOM, create a BOM of this existing material which will be maintain/repair with the parts I will send.
My question is in this if I have thought this right, if you have experience of this please contact me.
Alternative 3
This alternative is almost the same as alternative 2 with the exception that the material Im sending will change the material no when its back from the subcontractor. So I will send a existing material and all the parts which will be use to maintain/repair this particular material from my stock/company to a subcontractor who will do the work. This material will get a new material no. when I do the goods receipt.
In PS I want to create a subcontracting external activity, create a PR from PS, create a PO and deliver it to the receiver in other words the subcontractor who will maintain/repair the material.
For this alternative I think I can use a BOM, create a BOM of this existing material which will be maintain/repair with the parts I will send. Then I have to put the new material in my external activity as a material component with negative quantity as part of the subcontracting delivery
My question is in this if I have thought this right, if you have experience of this please contact me.
I hope my question is now clear for you, we are using the defence and aero solution so what I know I do can use the subcontracting with valuated project stock

Yosemite: Turning off Macbook Pro screen (lid open) with external monitor connected

Here we go again, this worked pre-Yosemite. Now it seems this trick no longer works. After following these steps again the screen on my Macbook Pro now turns on after logging in and opening the clam shell.
Anyone figure out/know a way to turn off the screen on the Macbook Pro with external monitors plugged in? (yes, closing the clam shell–but I'm referring to keeping the clam shell open with the display turned off)
http://gizmodo.com/5938452/a-trick-to-make-using-an-external-monitor-with-your-m acbook-way-better
To execute in Terminal:
sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"
To undo in Terminal:
sudo nvram -d boot-args
Once you type it into terminal I believe you need to enter your password. I then restart my machine. Now the TRICK is to either restart your machine with the lid already closed (hit restart then slam the lid!) OR turn the machine on for the first time (then quickly slam the lid!) once you are past the login screen you can open the lid.

Has anyone experimented with tip 2 (active corners)? Perhaps it still works.

Hi
We have two version of SharePoint, one the online version and the other on-premise installation
In online version, we can invite external users(liveID and google users) to have access to site and documents. This feature is provided by ADFS server already configured OOB in online version
Onpremise version does not have by default the feature to share with external users or customers. we have to extend the site and provide different identity providers.The identity provider can be Active directory,SQL server,Claims,ADFS server which
will support liveID

Invoking 'active directory external authentication plug-in' from login.jsp

Hi
I am using the Oracle AS 10g on Unix. We have a web application in JAVA based on OC4J Framework.
Currently user use application url for accessing the login page, enters credentials and then the authentication is done through LDAP.
Now we have to remove the login page from application. i.e. once user is successfully logged in Windows on his pc, and tries to access our application through it's url, he must be automatically authenticated using the credentials entered in windows and display the welcome page of application. Same as any intranet application.
For this requirement, we have 'active directory external authentication plug-in' installed on server.
What we need to know is how this process will work and changes required in our jsp page to invoke this plug-in and authenticate user by accessing windows-credentials automatically.
kindly let me know

Hi
I am currently using NTLM to fetch the windows username and then creating an anonymous connection with the LDAP Server.
Then i serach using the user name in ldap directory.
NTLM is no longer required , instead we have 'active directory external authentication plug-in' installed on LDAP.
as far as i know the plug-in will process the kerberos ticket generated by windows to automatically authenticate.

Create activity from external system

Hi
What is meant by creating activity from external system.
I need to work on an enhancement which deals with function module to create activity that can be called from external systems e.g. on demand.
I am not sure what does that exactly mean?
Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
Alka

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers... But is it possible to call transaction NOTIF_CREATE from an external system?
I have done something already so that those 3 fields will be automatically populated for a message sent from an external system.
I changed the screen and called FM BAPI_NOTIFICATION_CREATE(a remote enabled FM which is the one being used by transaction NOTIF_CREATE to create a message) inside FM BCOS_SEND_MSG.
I populated the category, subject and solution in the FM export parameters as well as the solution number in the sap data table. I put a destination also..
This FM calls another FM DNO_OW_CREATE_NOTIFICATION which is the one being used from the external system but do not cater the functionality to send the 3 fields that we need.
As you will notice, there are lots of standard objects that I've changed. =)
My problem now is that the system data sent is the same with the system data if you create the message using NOTIF_CREATE. Some system that were sent when a message is sent from an external system is missing but at least the sap system and client ID is sent. There is no external reference number also. But hopefullly, the users will accept it. Can't find any other solution to this.
Thanks,
Eric

Grab activity with PAPI-WS 5.7

I have a process with 3 roles, and i have an interactive activity (external) in role 2 with the possibilty of making a grab (external) this activity in the role 3.
How to grab this activity with papi-ws? If i trying run the grab activity the exception informs that is here in another activity (interactive) and if I want grabbed this activity I need take it by workspace.
I know with papi (not papi-ws) is it possible. With papi-ws is possible "grabbed" activity?
My version is 5.7
Edited by marcuscavalcanti at 12/27/2007 5:51 AM

Yes it's possible with PAPI-WS.
1.) you just use activityCommit method in PAPI-WS, and i would suggest that you implement who gets which activity in ALBPM studio for each activity since this is process related information, and it will be easier.
2.) you have instanceGetEvents method to get AuditTrail. But i found out that there is some mistake in WSDL of PAPI-WS since you cannot get any java.lang.Time objects....there are properties for getInstanceStamp for example but it returns PAPI-WS Time object which has no information about datetime.
3.) never used that, so i don't know

Extending TaskOutput for a Human Activity with WebDynpro UI

Dear Experts,
For my process I need to change some data object values in my context using WebDynpro UI. For that I would typically use a Human Activit with WebDynpro and some output mappings on
TaskOutput->UIResponse->MyTaskCompleteEvent->xxx.
But in my case I don't want to close the task. I want to use a different Event for the mapping without completing the task. Something like:
TaskOutput->UIResponse->MyTaskChangeContextEvent->xxx
But I couldn't find a way to extend the TaskOutput and UIResponse to be able to use other custom events for output mapping.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Koray
Edited by: korayyersel on Aug 19, 2011 9:49 AM

Ok, you can not update the BPM context without completing the task. You can have temporary data store in CAF (with default data source or external data source) and you can store/retrieve the data temporarily using JPA (Java Persistence API).
You can refer the below link for more details: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/47/d67d5357a34ac5e10000000a42189d/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/4a/9e7b9845816c3de10000000a42189c/content.htm
So you can call EJB/Web Service from WD task to save the changes and when user reopens the task you can retrieve the data from DB and show to it to the user.

Sticking mousecursor with external display is still a problem...

Hi,
10.5.7 fixed the "sticking mousecursor" problem with an attached external display (samsung syncmaster 226bw via MDP-DVI adapter) on my iMac and the ATI Radeon HD 4850. Big thanks for that!
But if i plug in a second source (notebook) to the external display (via VGA) and manually switch the active source for that panel from its DVI (iMac) to the VGA input (notebook), the mousecursor on the iMac is sticking again :-/ Switching back to DVI source and everything is fine.
That "sticking mousecursor" - for those not knowing - is a moucecursor which stops movement for half a second all 3 seconds. That bug is mentioned to occur with external Samsung and Philips displays only, as far as i know. Dell's and BenQ's don't have this problem.

update: it has nothing to do with a second computer connected to the external display while it is plugged into the iMac via DVI/MDP. The problem occurs if the external display is connected to the iMac but is not active! That means, the mouse-cursor is freezing regularly when the external display is switched off, or switched to another source (second computer). If the external display in ON an used with the iMac, then everything is fine.

WLC Web-auth fail with external RADIUS server

I follow step by step the link bellow to configure web-auth with external RADIUS server but I receive a error on console debug of the WLC "Returning AAA Error No Server (-7) for mobile"
My Radius Server is fine, because I can authenticate on WLC Web page with RADIUS user.
WLC 4402 version 4.1.171.0
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/prod_technical_reference09186a0080706f5f.html

Hi,
I am having some issues when I try to authenticate an AD account against a NAP Radius Server on Windows 2008.
In fact, I own a WLC 2106 and I configured it to authenticate users againts a radius Server with Active Directory. I set the Web Radius Authentication to CHAP on the controller tab from the WLC 2106 and i am getting the error below
: Authentication failed for gcasanova. When I set the controller to Web Radius Authentication to PAP, everything is working fine. I am able to connect to through the controller using an AD Account. But my purpose is not use PAP which is an unsecure protocol since password are sent as plaintext on the network.
Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Creation of Business Partner with External BP #,ID type and Identifications

Hi Group,
I have a query on creation of Business Partner with External BP #,ID type and Identification # (along with the Firstname,Lastname,Email, Phone & etc.,) things.
the thing is that I was using a BAPI called "BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA", to create a BP and I was not able to have an option available for these things (External BP #,ID type and Identification # ) along with that BAPI.
So please kindly let me know how these things can be fetched from a BAPI which can accomodate all the above things mentioned.
Please kindly let me know how it can be achieved.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Hi Gerhard,
Infact this reply was very useful, but ,while using the BAPI "BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_ADD" while creating the Id type and Id #s, this BAPI was not enabling this.
I was trying to use this BAPI to create ID #, and it's desc, but, this BAPI was returning like "This BP # does not exist" (in some cases) and in some other cases, it is keeping quiet without giving any indication as whether the things have been updated or not... and also when I checked, things were not getting reflected.
your help would be very much appreciated.
thanks & regards,
vishnu.

Public SharePoint Online Site with External User Portal

Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p>
My company switched over to Office 365 a few months ago, and now would like to start using our Public SharePoint site to share information (documents
pertaining to their orders/drawings/etc.) with our customers (external users).<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have seen documentation on how to share documents with individual users, but we were looking to do something a little bit different. We would ultimately
like to have a public site with generic company information (like hours, about us,directions etc.) that anyone can see.
We would also like to use SharePoint as almost an "FTP type" service where we could post documents and share them with individual
external
users. HOWEVER, instead of sharing individual documents, we were wondering if there was a way that an external user (that we have granted
access) could sign into the public SharePoint site, and then see information that ONLY pertains to them.
I have been doing some research on this, and I haven't seen that anyone else has tried this. Has anyone had any luck? Or would you have suggestions on how to make
this work? I had originally posted this question on the Office 365 SharePoint forum, and they suggested posting this question here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
did you finally manage to get what you requested here above ? Indeed, I am also struggling to set up the same (public website with individual content sharing with external authentified user).
For external user, I am quite sure that we need to go through MS ID creation (I have created some test users using https://login.live.com).
Our public website is done and (almost) working. I have then created a sub-site for the same, this one to manage permission based on authentified user
But I am stuck when trying to assign a document library with relavant permission.
Would be great to share our feedback and I have searched a lto on the web and did not find any satisfying answer to this design (If there is any... here is my doubt...)
Thanks in advance

Record is not displayed in Historical Reports-Activity with no Customer

Hi All,
We have an issue in Historical Reports for Activity.we are using Book of Business also.
Now the issue is under Activity History as subject area, when an activity doesn't have any Customer it should come as Unspecified in the report.
Like if it doesn't have account assosiated to it then it is shown as Unspecified in the report.
But for activity with no customer assosiated to it, it is not showing the entire record (Acitivity) in the report.
When the Customer field is removed from the displayed columns then we are able to see those activities in the report.
Note:
But when the Book of Business is not there previously, it was working fine
An response is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lemu

Hi,
Yes we have a workaround for this.
Since the Primary Customer is not exposed as an Activity filed.
Copy the value of the Primary Customer and display it in a filed of activity using workflows.
Then replace the customer filed with this filed.
Then u will get the activity without customer also cause the customer filed is a normal activity field.
Hope this helps.

Federation Service with External Organization is not working

Hi,
Exchange 2010 is running in present environment and recently I have introduced Exchange 2013. There is federation Enabled at Exchange 2010 end with External Exchange organization. When we migrated users from E2k10 to E2k13 Free /Busy sync has stopped working.
Exchange 2k10 & E2k13 in same Exchange organization and no errors found in configuration part and all seems Success.
Here what I am suspecting, something that I need to do at F5 load balancer end, not sure what :( .. I need urgent help from Experts in this forum to help me in case I have missed something to make Federation working.

Hi.
Federation in coexistence mode runs through the Exchange 2013.
Coexistence with Exchange 2010
In organizations that contain both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 servers, users who have a mailbox on an Exchange 2010 Mailbox server can use organization relationships to share free/busy information with recipients in external Exchange 2013 federated
domain organizations. The Exchange 2010 Client Access and Mailbox servers must be running SP2 or higher, and you must have at least one Exchange 2013 Client Access server in the Exchange 2010 organization.
Troubleshooting plan
1) Check run correctly Exchange CAS 2010/2013
2) Enabled Outlook logging and checked the logs. For Client from Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 mailbox.
3) Ran Test-OrganizationRelationship on Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013.
4) Checked the Federation settings on Exchange 2013.
5) On Exchange 2013 and 2010 server: Get-FederationTrust | Set-FederationTrust -RefreshMetadata
