Hello

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forum.

The error "the specified device name is invalid" is displayed if you try to name a folder with a name that represents a limit of MS-DOS device name.

The MS-DOS device driver names cannot be used as file names in Windows. As a result, we cannot name as records con, zero, etc.

Microsoft MS-DOS booked these names for these system device drivers.

  • CON: Keyboard and display
  • PRN: System list device, usually a parallel port
  • To THE: auxiliary device, usually a serial port
  • CLOCK$: the system real-time clock
  • DRAW: Bit-Bucket device
  • A:-Z:: the drive letters
  • COM1: First communications port series
  • LPT1: First parallel printer port
  • LPT2: Second parallel printer port
  • LPT3: The third parallel printer port
  • COM2: Second communication port series
  • COM3: Third serial communications Port
  • COM4: Fourth serial communications Port

    I have no vcenter (yet), and it's just the 1 vm. The virtual machine is turned off. I get this error regardless of the name, I said that when I choose "add to the inventory.

    All advice appreciated.

    Thank you

    Oh dear...
    you read bad advice on the internet and then you get also the stupid advice here.

    Ignore both!

    If you want to clone a virtual machine by copying - do it like this:

    Create new virtual machine with the wizard.
    Skip creating a disk for new customers.

    In Datastorebrowser copy the original vmdk to the new dir, which has been created by the wizard.
    Reopen the new VM and edit - assign the vmdk that you just copied.

  • Sync Center stops the error: the specified network name is no longer available

    Original title: stops Sync Center sync every time there is an error?

    The error is still "the specified network name is no longer available." Sync stopped with offline files. So I hit ignore and restart the synchronization. This happens about every minute during synchronization. I'd rather just complete synchronization what it can that stop all the time and I have to restart manually. Anyone knows any solution or what does the error message mean?

    I had a similar error.  This seems to be a function of the indexing of offline files when you synchronize a large number of files.  By temporarily disabling indexing of offline files, you can synchronize all your files and then re - activate the indexing.

    To disable indexing, clear the checkbox 'offline files' under control panel > Indexing Options.  Then synchronize as usual and re - activate when you are finished.

    I hope this helps.

    I hit it constantly on two of my stocks when you try to add a disc through the user interface.  It seems to be specific to the pool rather than drive, that I get the same error for any physical drive, I'm trying to reach.

    On a whim, I tried adding a drive via PowerShell and it worked only.  A lot of details here, but here's the bit of criticism that has worked for me:

    PS C:\ > $PDToAdd = disc-Get physical - CanPool $TruePS

    C:\ > add physical disk StoragePoolFriendlyName-'Attachment 2' - PhysicalDisks $PDToAdd

    Note that this attaches to all the available physical disks, which can be grouped, then you'll want to confirm the list before actually calling Add-physical disk.

  • Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

    I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

    I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

    I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

    I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

    The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

    Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

    There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

    I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

    As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

    I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

    My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

    If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

    Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

    If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

    Go to AppData\Local

    Select all (Ctrl + a).

    Hi nanditaberi,

    Since when are you facing this problem? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?

    This problem may be caused by this security software on the computer, uninstall them might solve the problem.

    Example: AVG, Zone Alarm

    Important:

    O before you uninstall the security software disconnect the computer from the internet. Make sure that the windows firewall is enabled.

    Ø you may need to check with the manufacturer of security software for reinstallation and activation.

    O re - install the security software on the computer.

    Hello

    Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

    From your post, it seems that you are unable to access the USB key and it gives you an error: the specified module could not be found.

    1. The USB Flash works fine in another computer?
    2. Have you tried any other USB on your computer?

    You can try the following steps and check the result.

    Method 1: You can try to run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter and check if it makes a difference:

    If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try to use the hardware and peripheral troubleshooting tool to solve the problem. It checks the common issues of interest and ensures that a new device or hardware connected to your computer has been installed correctly.

    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2: However, it could be a virus, I would also say that you to download and run the last scan Microsoft security on USB flash and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.
