  Hi the user Noob,

  We recommend that you remove the entry that allows Windows to start successfully. Microsoft Windows Vista (C:\Windows) is the default. You can remove the second entry and check the result (delete if it does not work).

• How to remove and reset the Contacts folder / files in Vista Windows Mail

  How can I delete the Contacts in Vista - and actually reset the folder so that windows treats the files ".contact" as - good contact and no text.

  Because what was going on, I decided to try to start from scratch - I just copied all the files in the folder of contacts to a archive and deleted all the files in the contacts folder.

  From Windows Mail - I am capable of was able to use the tool 'Add to contacts' and the Contact form (properties) dialog happens - but if I open the Contacts folder directly (Windows or Windows Mail 'button'), I get a window of the typical Explorer with a newlt created contact list (for example there are 6 in there now all created from Windows Mail) - if I try to open an existing contact - it opens in the Notepad - text - garbage.  (Same problem I had)

  I've been setting up with a Contacts folder corrupted since I bought my desktop with Vista in 2008 - I think I looked into the question of import then and there is no function of CSV to import the contacts (that I could find) - and / or the inport corrupted the file - so when I open a file of contacts I get the text of the file - it opens in Notepad - and not a Contact form.

  With more than 600 contacts in there, I didn't have to manually retype all data, but it's time to bite the bullet.

  Hello PaulJMoore,

  ·         Do you have just copied the contacts in archive and did not export them?

  ·         What is the extension of the contact files you copied?

  You should try to reset the contacts folder.

  1. in Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder C:\Users\(user name) \Contacts.

  2. right click on an empty space in the main pane of the middle of the window and click Customize this folder.

  3. under the type of folder do you want, click the arrow next to the model list drop-down list.

  4. click on Contacts to select.

  NOTE: Check apply also this template to all subfolders if you want to change all subfolders in the Contacts folder to the Contacts model as well.

  5. click on OK.

  The contacts created with Windows Vista are in the format of .vlc. When you try to open them to the archived location where you saved, he would not be able to access Windows Mail to open the contacts.

  First of all try to copy all the contacts in the Contacts folder on the \Contacts C:\Users\(user name folder location).

  If this does not work, try to import all the contacts that you have saved to the location that is archived using the import option from the Windows Messaging.

  You can read this article which will give you information on how to import contacts:

• If all the domain controllers reside in the VMWare environment

  I was curious to know if there is someone who can give their opinion about the location of the domain controllers in the VMWare community.  I had 2 DCs before the introduction of VMWare and pulling on servers inside.  I created 2 new controllers domain in VMWare and then retrograde 2 those outside so that only there are only virtual domain controllers.  It seemed to work very well, but I had to turn off equipment running VMWare, and when it started, the storage device that the accessible ESX host has launched a mistake because he could not find a domain controller.

  Most people remove all external domain controllers and go with only VMWare virtual DCs, or is it better to always keep an external domain controller upwards and running?  Any advice is welcome.

  Thank you.

  I always advise to keep the domain controller hosting your virtual environment PDC emulator FSMO role. Time is critical on most of the servers, but especially on the PDC that is the top of your Windows Time synch infrastructure.

  We also keep a ms in each data center on a physical platform, this way if we already have a power down when we turn we can raise the physical DC first and very quickly.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards

• Help with the Powershell script to collect logs from all domain controllers

  I am writing a script to retrieve the last 5 days of application, security and log files from all domain controllers. The script runs, but fire the logs from the local server only. The variable $Computer has all of my DC so it's the fine mark. I guess it's a problem with my line ForEach-Object, but is not error. See the below script.

  $log = 'application '.
  $date = get-date-format MM-DD-YYYY

• Commissioning for lack of Exchange because of the latency in Multi Site domain controllers

  Hi all

  I use using the OIM 11 g R2 PS2 BP04 with AD-connector version (11.1.1.6.0 & AD 2010) and the Version of the Exchange Connector (11.1.1.6.0 & Exchange 2010) and its installed on RHEL 6.5. We have 20:00 domain controllers and each of them is in a different site. Here is the list of domain controllers:

  DC-host1,DC-HOST2,DC-site2-host1,DC-SITE3-host1,DC-SITE4-host1...etc

  We use automatic configuration AD access strategies and resources the user Exchange and configured as domain controllers in AD IT resource:

  DC-HOST1 - primary

  DC-HOST2 - secondary

  AD resource provisioning works fine however when IOM tries to configure exchange to the user, its failure due to the latency issue b & w AD different Site of the domain controller. For example, "PRODTESTUSER12" is implemented successfully in AD and when IOM tries to configure exchange for this user, exchange server search for any available domain controller search for the user. It randomly selects an AD domain controller, I say DC-SITE2-HOST1 to search for the user. Since this domain contorller is on another site and it is latency, its not able to find the user of this domain controller, this is why available exchange fails for this user. See the below error:

  Target class = oracle.iam.connectors.icfcommon.prov.ICProvisioningManager

  < 21 may 2015 23:10:06 CEST > < error > < ORACLE. IAM. CONNECTORS. ICFCOMMON. Prov. ICPROVISIONINGMANAGER > < BEA-000000 > < oracle.iam.connectors.icfcommon.prov.ICProvisioningManager: createObject: error while creating user

  java.lang.RuntimeException: the operation could not be performed because the object 'PRODTESTUSER12' could not be found on 'anc-dc2k8 - 01.wssc.ad.root'.

  We have not specified this domain either under AD controller or Exchange resources.

  n Connector logs, I can see below: 22/05/2015-10:55:19 < INFORMATION >: class-> Org.IdentityConnectors.Exchange.RemoteRunspaceInstance-> InvokeScript method, Message-> enter the method

  
  22/05/2015-10:55:19 < VERBOSE >: class-> Org.IdentityConnectors.Exchange.RemoteRunspaceInstance,-> InvokeScript method, Message-> Script: Set-ADServerSettings - ViewEntireForest: $true; Get-User "PRODTESTUSER21" - ReadFromDomainController

  I think, because of this script, Exchange Server recovers first of any domain controller available to search for the user. Yes, is there a way to restrict or put domain controller's favorite?

  

  There is a hotfix available for this problem. Here are the details:

• Questions about the movement of 1 of 3 ESXi4.1-ESXi5 host domain controllers.

  Is this environment that I have 3 2008 R2 domain controllers.

  1 physical

  2 virtual

  I want to turn off a virtual domain controller and move first host (ESXi 4.1) on second host (ESXi 5).

  My concern is that if the NETWORK card in the guest OS is going to get dirty with or it will remain as it is.

  If I remember not the mac address will indeed change (unless I hard coded it in the configuration file), but that shouldn't be a problem.

  I don't know, what if a new NETWORK card will appear in OS making old useless NIC originally invited me to change the network settings.  Something I don't want to have to do.  I know I've seen a similar problem with a VM linux before, but don't remember seen happen in a virtual Windows machine.  Just want to be sure before that I have to try.

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  
  Greg

  VM migration between hosts will make any changes to the NIC or MAC address. You must ensure that the required networking is presented with two hosts if you want to move between them seamlessly. If the network tag is not the same between the hosts, then you will need to change the settings of the virtual machine and use the drop down to select the appropriate network before turning on the new host. But this should be easy and quick and without surprise.

• How to remove fingerprints on the Tecra M7?

  We have a user who has received fingerprints on its Tecra M7 Tablet PC configuration connection and it worked well. His computer has been migrated to a new domain that no longer exists, but it is impossible to remove the old footprints as the software requires him to connect to the old account (it cannot create a new game like his prints exist already with another account).

  Is there a way that the old engravings can be removed so that the user can configure his new account to connect by using the fingerprint reader?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  the problem is that the fingerprints are stored in the sensor and without the imprint of the original user you have access to the system won´t. The only way to delete them is to contact an authorized servicepartner because they are the one and the only one who can erase them from the system.

• How to remove applications from the app store

  Of all my research, I'm sure it's impossible. But what the heck... Are you are my last hope.

  I have two applications tab updates in my app store account (not iTunes).

  One is iPhoto (fate updated 19/03/2015); and

  Domain name Analyzer (update published on 25/03/2014)

  Given that I'm currently running 10.11.3, I have more iPhoto on my computer; so it cannot be updated. However, the Apple App store thinks I should always download the update. Madness. I can not download it, I can't update. What I want to do, is remove the stinking albatross. But how?

  Similarly, I don't have domain name Analyzer on my iMac, but can't re - download. When I go to its description in the app store, the says "Update" button, no download. Pressing just sends me to the update page. When I try to update, it stifles upward and gives the message "domain name Analyzer failed to download. Use the shopping page to try again". Sure. I could continue to do this for hours and it won't change a thing. I sent Softnik on my dilemma, but they have ignored me until now. I doubt they have a solution.

  This happened for almost a year. So how can get rid you of these two? Any suggestion will be appreciated. I understand it is easy to delete the apps from iTunes. Why can't we easily remove applications on the App Store?

  If the Mac App Store has not see the apps it would not offer updates. Verify that the applications are not on a connected drive or a partition mounted.

• 2 replicated domain controllers or clone 1 DCs as cold standby

  Hi guys,.

  I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question or maybe someone can divert my question. Any involvement of a Windows 2008 Server cold waiting without any network connection for a period of time, tombstone question? and the reason that I asked for, it is I think to perform replication from domain controllers 2 where 1 fail and 2nd DC to support, or just to clone standby and connect the network whenever the 1 domain controller fail.

  Appreciate any comment.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• Windows Server 2012R2 - network location awareness continues to change the public domain after rebooting

  I also have this problem but I have domain controllers that are NOT part of this Hyper-V host.  If I restart the network location awareness (which also restarts the network list Service) it goes back to the field as it should.  Now when I reboot this server it will be once more put the interface / network to the public even if this Hyper-V server has been successfully joined to the domain with a static IP address.

  Now for clarification.  This Hyper-V server is NOT yet configured virtual.  The only thing that has been set up is a NIC team with two cards on Board (LAN 3 & 4 ports) and two additional network cards four port card (ports 3 & 4).  Local network connection is dedicated to LAN Port No. 1.  We also have a dedicated of the IMM port for access to the Strip.

  The ONLY time I can get this server to restart and STAY in the 'Domain' location is now if I have the PORTFAST enabled on the switch port to which it is connected.  Yes, we use STP here in our company.  This is not the first time that I had to do this, but it seems not just as a colleague claims that he didn't need to do and its technology Hyper-V server restarts fine.  I him have had check it out and he sees no difference between its servers and mine.  Still mine restarts always in the "public" unless I have active portfast.  Any thoughts?
