Print to network printer from evil with protected mode enabled (whitelist is configured and printer unc added to CTrustedSites/cSilentPrint)
We are unable to print to a network printer using Adobe Reader with 'protected mode' active. These problems occur when you try to use command line arguments to print to a printer that is not installed on the computer. We are able to accomplish this task easily and protected offshore.
The journal entries are (where < < unc_path_to_printer > > is a path UNC to a real printer on our network and < < username > > is the windows user name):

OS: Windows 7
Version of Adobe Reader: DC
We have followed the documentation to configure protected mode and did the following:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\Privileged "bProtectedMode" = 1
- We can confirm that the protected mode is enabled in effect
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\Privileged "tBrokerLogfilePath" = C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\AdbeReaderBroker.log
- We are able to see the journal, so it works fine
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown 'bUseWhitelistConfigFile' = 1
- We can confirm via the newspapers being read in the white list file: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\TrustManager\cTrustsedSites\cSilentPrint 't1' = < < unc_path_to_printer > >
Our ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt contains:
; Files section
FILES_ALLOW_ANY = C:\*
; Registry
REG_ALLOW_ANY = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ *.
REG_ALLOW_ANY = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE *.
We allow all files at the moment, once it's working us would limit it more far.
We allow the input reg for the moment to remove the following journal errors, which we do not understand:

We would appreciate any comments on our Setup so far
Thank you!
Thanks for the details.
I'm afraid this doesn't seem to be something that's going to work. Protected Mode player won't allow printing to a printer that is already installed on the system. Your options are either:
1. install the printer before launching the player with this command line (perhaps install the printer through the same custom application that try to print the PDF file), GOLD,.
2 disable the Protected Mode
Sorry, that I couldn't be useful here.

Tablespace with a data file name in double and the directory added
Version Oracle 11.1.0.7
AIX platform
I have exactly the same directory for the tablespace even a tablespace with 2 files with exactly the same name.
I don't think it was possible for Oracle create two data files in the same directory with exactly the same data file for a tablespace name.
The difference between the two seems to be the sizes - one is 10G, the other is 10 m autoextend on but with maximum size is equal to the size of create.
It is not possible to table either both are full.
Please notify.
Thank you.You have a character that is hidden in the name of the file. Use ls for your operating system which shows the special characters (ls - lb or something, man ls).

Just installed CD player. Now I can't print pdf files without disabling Protected Mode. Anyway to adjust/difficulty so I can print protected-mode?
Protected mode can be "a very important part of their security features", but what's the point if the product does not work?
If has been like that since the introduction of Safe_mode in drive X. Reader, crashes, hangs, cale, cannot print and various other symptoms.
I recommended to disable Safe_mode for a very long time, and even Adobe support staff do often the same here in the forum.
There is absolutely no advantage whatsoever to keep protected Mode enabled. (Although I personally have never had no problems [with protected Mode on] on any of my Windows systems.)

Original title: trying to open a PDF file problems
I use Windows 7 on a 32-bit computer with Firefox and Adobe Reader X 1. Try to open a PDF with any application or attempt to open Adobe Reader via the icon programs, product now the following error message:
«Adobe reader could not open protected mode due to incompatibility with the system configuration you.» Want to open Acrobat Reader with protected Mode off? "Answer either 'Yes' to this question produces:"Adobe could not load the DLL base. "
On other occasions, trying to open the pdf file has directed me to an interface recommending me to open it with my Canon printer. Try to change the default program used on a PDF file generates the above error messages previously.
I reinstalled Adobe and who did it. Clearly a problem for Adobe. Regret not having tried that earlier, I thought that it couldn't be that simple.

Since the update to the most recent v11.0.10 of Adobe Reader, getting a Safe_mode Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader cannot open protected mode due make an incompatibility with your system configuration. Want to open Adobe Reader with protected Mode off?
The solution I was looking for was to launch Adobe Reader protected mode.
I couldn't identify issues preventing start Protected Mode. What ended up working, was complete, followed by a reinstall uninstall. Now we can load drive in Protected Mode.

Turn on Protected Mode turns off in IE 8 after rebooting
Every time I have start or restart my computer, and then open IE 8, I get a bar at the top of the screen that shows the protected mode is disabled. I go to Tools - Internet Options - Security - Internet and the box in front of "The Enable Protected Mode (requires restarting Internet Explorer)" is unchecked. I check the box and click on apply. I then restart Internet Explorer and I have no other problem with protected Mode become invalid as long as I do not restart or shut down the computer. What is going on? How can I keep the Protected Mode? Thank you!

Hi all;
It is a test case . Just tried to change the protection mode (it has been good and also worked well)
PRIMARY_DB_UNIQUE_NAME: MRC
STANDBY_DB_UNIQUE_NAME: STBYCRMS
Initially we set up physical standby like "MAX PERFORMANCE"
I changed the mode of protection performance max for Max availability.
DGMGRL > CHANGE the DATABASE "stbycrms" SET PROPERTY "LOGXPTMODE"="SYNCHRONIZE";
...
DGMGRL > EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE YOU MAXAVAILABILITY;
...
DGMGRL > see the configuration;
Configuration - dgcrms
Protection mode: MaxAvailability
Databases:
MRC - primary
stbycrms - physical of the standby database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
The configuration status:
SUCCESS
> > On the primary database
SYS > display the parameter log_archive_dest_2.
VALUE OF TYPE NAME
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
string LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 = "stby_crmsdb", delay service LGWR SYNC AFFIRM = optional compression 0 = disable max_failure = 0 max_connections = 1 reopen = 300
db_unique_name = "stbycrms" net_timeout = 30, valid_for =(all_logfiles,primary_role)
My question is, suppose I make the transition to digital,
We need to execute commands of primary database also?
DGMGRL > CHANGE the DATABASE "CRM" SET PROPERTY "LOGXPTMODE"="SYNCHRONIZE";
DGMGRL > EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE YOU MAXAVAILABILITY;

[Acrobat DC] Cannot print unless that uncheck "Enabled Protected Mode at Startup"
We maintain a Web site where users can download PDFs generated by this site.
There are users of statement that PDF files can be downloaded but wouldn't print after that. There will be a message box popup to inform users that they are unable to print. Uncheck "enabled Protected Mode at startup" in the Acrobat preferences enabled them to print again. The same users also said they cannot leave this box checked because other programs in their systems requires this checkbox.
Can someone tell me that what are the possible causes that to happen in some machines and what is the alternative that uncheck this box. Personally, I was not able to simulate this issue, but it has been reported by several of our users.
Hi Howie
Can you please try update Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to the most recent version in the machines and try again?
To do this, simply open Acrobat Reader DC, go to 'Help'-> ' Check for Updates '.
Let us know if the problem reoccurs after that.
Thank you
