  • Redirect IOM built-in connection after the forgotten password or timeout.

    Hello

    We have OAM and IOM deployed and integrated 11.1.2.2.0, nonclustered, with a DCC webgate using standard forms authentication.  IOM and OAM do not share a physical host or a domain.

    We can successfully connecting and disconnecting the IOM through the DCC webgate.

    The standard login form has had a link added to access the features of IOM forgotten password.

    1. After successfully using the password link forgot that you are presented with a button «Back to Login»  This button goes back to IOM standard connection on the host server screen, IOM and the port.

    2 when the IOM time-out is used, it also takes us back to the standard login IOM on IOM managed server host and portscreen.

    Nobody knows what he does to make sure that we get redirected to the page of OAM connection on the host of the CDC?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite Pro L650-1LF - cannot connect Windows 7

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my new Toshiba laptop and I thought that maybe someone here could help me. Sorry for my bad English: P

    My problem is that when I start my laptop (that I got today) I can't connect in the two options I have. There is the administrator account which acquires a password that I did not and do not know. the second option is "another user account", but it still says that I have the account user or incorrect password. I don't know what to do :(
    I hope you people understand my problem and can help me. 7 Professional Windows was already installed when I bought the laptop in an internet shop, so there are no cd or other software with it.

    Thanks for your help and I hope you have understood my problem :)

    Hey Buddy,

    You have created user accounts after installing Windows 7? Usually, if you buy a new laptop, recovery facility will be beginning and end. Then, you will be asked for user accounts and passwords.

    Anyway, an alternative you can try reinstalling Windows if no connection is possible. Just run the recovery of HARD drive feature (menu advance to boot Windows if you press F8, and then select Repair my computer).

  • Cannot connect Windows 8 to an older OS with homegroup

    Separated from this thread.

    It is very helpful, as most of us are either A: Trying to get windows 8 to connect to an OS or former B: trying to get an older operating system to connect to Windows 8. You guys is added a password of security for groups windows home 8 (initially known as the name of the Working Group) and that made it impossible for the older operating system to connect to the fact that they have no way to get that pass code. All I'm doing is part media and I have to play with the parameters left and right before my media suddenly begins sharing properly.

    And yes I did all this network sharing stuff. Turns up making even that sometimes doesn't work. I have the same problem trying to listen to music through my X - Box 360 and again once I play with the settings of the network of last 5 to 10 minutes before suddenly oh look at my music is streaming finally. From my experience with Microsoft trying to do anything about it either on your own home network was a royal pain, but at least with windows 7 and it wasn't to hard to fix. Now with windows 8, it became almost impossible to have another version of windows even work with windows 8 on the network.

    Of course, this is simply my own experience and one thing I've learned is that half computers running the same operating system with the same exact specifications there will not have the same correction. Towers of PCs have their own personality. That's why I'm happy that I came across this page turns upward to a mixture of tests with a lot of the suggestion realized that none of them have really explain why the network needs a lot of tinkering in the first place.

    Ideally, it should be as simple as crochet just your laptop to the network put a password and be good to go, but now it seems that I have to have passwords on top of passwords and have nothing to say in the matter, if I want to put all the passwords. Well, I managed to solve my problem for now until the next time I try to connect to another computer on my network.

    Of older machines MS can be connected so that you can see and file xfer.

    To do this, the connection is through the WORKING Group on the network connection.

    On the old machines go to system in Control Panel and change the name of default working something else as MY-WORKING group and restart this computer.

    On the newer machine who has Homegroup, do the same thing through the control panel and restart this computer.

    Now you have a private workgroup that you will be able to see all the machines via network connections.

    You may need to set up some of your folders on the old machines to share certain folders as shared on the network.

    Who should do as I have an old XP I use as a file server and a backup location.

  • Cannot connect Windows XP to the wireless printer.

    WINDOWS XP PRINTER WI - FI CONNECTION

    I have Windows XP Media Center Service Pack 3 OS that worked a HP Photosmart Plus B209 a - m with a USB cable.  Since I just bought a new laptop (Windows 7 Professonal OS) I decided to create a home network with a router Cradlepoint MBR 900.  The two laptops (XP and 7 OSs) were connected to the internet via the router with no problems.  Windows 7 Pro OS laptop is connected wireless to the printer Photosmart Plus, I had implemented as confiquiration wireless the printer first.  But the failure of the attempt to get the OS Windows XP Media Center to connect to the wireless printer.  During the installation process to connect the printer to the XP system wireless it asked me to choose which printer I wanted to connect to.  The Photosmart Plus printer was selected and visible, then I clicked Next.  Shortly after, a small screen appeared stating the "serscan.sys" file could not be found and I have to insert a Windows XP Pro CD to get the file or run the installer of this file.  This issue has occurred both when I tried to install it with the CD provided by HP and when I tried installing the HP download website.  All I have is a recovery for Windows XP disk provided with the laptop and not a CD Windows XP Pro.  What should I do to fix this?  Thanks, Lonnie

    Thanks, that was fast.  Please, let me make sure I have this correct.  First of all, I have two recovery disks provided with the computer, with Windows XP Media Edition and one for the drivers.  I should not use either of these disks, right?  If I had the previous correct answer then let me ask the following question;  When looking to borrow the disc should be Windows XP Media Edition or can I borrow any disk of Windows XP?  Kim Merci for your help continues.  Lonnie

    Lonnie,

    Before the hunting around for friends who might have a CD, do the following research.  For each of them, make sure that you have checked the search options in the 'Advanced Options' to

    • Search system folders
    • Search for files and hidden folders
    • Search subfolders

    Search your entire hard drive and both CDs you have to serscan.  Do not include the .sys at the end of the file name.

    Search for Driver.cab.  Report of the Office (s).  On your hard disk, you should find one or both

    • C:\Windows\i386\Driver.cab
    • C:\Windows\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab

    You can also find these files on the "recovery disk".

    Report what you find, including locations of found nothing.  It is possible (but I don't think likely) you will find a file named serscan.sy_ - If Yes, include this information in your results.

    Or, if you want to ignore all this, you can download serscan.sys since my SkyDrive-->

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?CID=18b259158254905b&RESID=18B259158254905B! 225 & Thierry = 18B259158254905B! 214

    The file should go to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache (a hidden directory) and probably in C:\Windows\system32 (I do not use this file, if it is not in my system32 folder).

    Or you can just save it to your desktop and "direct the Setup" it there (if you do this, check more later to confirm that he got into C:\Windows\system32\dllcache and if not, put a copy).
