New VM guestos windows password lock
I am currently working on a series of scripts that creates the virtual machine to a csv file and then configure a number of options and setting from a file source csv.
The problem I have is that when you create a computer virtual model or cloning of the guest operating system (windows server 2008R2 and 2003 in this case) goes to security and will not allow a connection until the password is changed.
This causes a significant hiccup as most of my scripts depend on invokevmscript and when they try to connect with the credentials that they bounce with error of incorrect credentials.
If manually, I log in and change the password for the same exact password, then all scripts will work fine.
I have the problem narrowed down, but I don't see another solution that does not use OScustomizationspec in the creation that is not an option for our production environment.
Possible ideas, I've had include applying the OScustomizationspec after the scripts, or to have a script to change password before the rest of the scripts, but I was not able to develop anything like that.
Help, advice or anything is appreciated!
It turns out that when you create the virtual machine, you need to let them rest for about 60 to 90 seconds after the first start, then they apply to the guestOS customizationSpec after the connection works fine.
Just add a timer 120 sec at the first start to the configuration script.

How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista
How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista?
Hello
You cannot use the password to protect the files in Windows Vista. However, you can encrypt the file.
Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the appropriate encryption key to decrypt it.
For more information you can check the link below: can I protect files or folders with a password? : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Can-I-protect-files-or-folders-with-a-password

You the problem is that you are unable to "verify your identity" to the computer.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.
Try a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
- Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/
If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.
- Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.
If you keep problems also create a new profile.
Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

Correct procedure to change the Windows password
This is similar to the post http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board=SpecialInterestsUtilities&message=3111&query.id=101... but I'm not looking for a workaround solution. I'm looking for the right way to avoid the problem.
When I changed my Windows password in Windows and restarted, the first thing he did was ask me after that I spent my finger. He said that he wanted changed in the security of the client system. I entered the password and it erased, and then connected. After the start, another window pops up asking my Windows password for the security solution client. I entered, but this was rejected. I tried again, rejected. I tried again using any password that I use. All rejected. Maj CapsLock and numlock off the coast.
Fortunately, I was able to cancel out of it. I changed my password to the original and then restarted. The same claims were held, but he agreed the old passwords. I am in control, but with my original password. Phew!
Then... What is the correct way to do it? Client security rejects the new password. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!

I found a solution in case anyone else comes across this. It may be the best or only one, but it worked...
(1) disable Security TPM. Do the reset, etc.
(2) use the control panel Windows users to change your password.
(3) turn on the TPM secure. Do the reset and the new password asked a couple of times.

Hi @streetrod2 ,
Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your HP ENVY 17 t j000 Notebook and having issues with the software of HP SimplePass. Thanks for all the information, it is very useful to know what you've already tried. I would say to uninstall HP SimplePass and reinstalled the latest version for Windows 8.1.
Hope it suits it.
Thank you.

I'm also not quite know how to cancel that so I can install the software when I have to. I've never done this if I want to be very careful.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks,

Are their accounts 'Administrator' or 'Standard' user level?
If they are directors of the machine, and then create a new Admin account (only you know the password) and then lower their Standard user accounts. If they attempt to install programs now it should be prompted to enter the Admin password that they won't.
User accounts - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2663817
Also see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/299-user-account-control-uac-change-notification-settings.html for info UAC - and adjust the required level.
If their accounts are accounts administrator and for some reason must be a competent user, then will probably be able to undo everything you put up anyway.
