Yoga 3: Lenovo utility needed, or can they be disabled?

Greetings, all!

After the recent debacle of lmcfrundll (see this thread elsewhere on this forum), I decided to disable all Lenovo Utilities/apps via the start menu via msconfig. Thereby the lmcfrundll error messages disappear and did not affect performance as far as I can tell. I work mainly in 2013 office and not much else making machine yet.

I was wondering: is there a liability to the deactivation of these utilities? Nothing I can see, but others may better know.

See you soon!

Pics of harmony, Lenovo Utility and phone companion are not useful and will not affect your system somehow.

I use companion phone and it's a nice little trick. I can control my laptop computer to my android phone

  • Backup/restore DRS VM affinity/anti-affinity rules - can they be backed up and restored without re-entering manually after DRS disabled?

    DRS VM affinity/anti-affinity rules - these are lost when the DRS is off - they can be "listed" via perl or script Toolkit VI to return to manual if necessary.

    But can they be backed up / restored through automated methods for easy recovery in case required or accidental deactivation of the DRS? What happens if a user of vCenter turns off instead of the manual setting during operations?

    I have over 100 + VM DRS affinity/anti-affinity rules to maintain.

    There are indeed several DRS rules related cmdlets in the VITK 1.5.

    The following script will save all rules in a .txt file.

    $outfile = "C:\rules.txt"
    Remove-Item $outfile
    $clusterName = 
    $rules = get-cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-DrsRule
    
    foreach($rule in $rules){
      $line = (Get-View -Id $rule.ClusterId).Name
      $line += ("," + $rule.Name + "," + $rule.Enabled + "," + $rule.KeepTogether)
      foreach($vmId in $rule.VMIds){
        $line += ("," + (Get-View -Id $vmId).Name)
      }
      $line | Out-File -Append $outfile
    }
    

    The reason why we are writing the rules in a .txt file is because the type of 'Solidarity' with the rules can have 2 or more guests defined.

    This type of info (variable length table) is impossible to export to a. CSV file.

    The 2nd script reads this external file and sets the rules.

    $file = "C:\rules.txt"
    $rules = Get-Content $file
    
    foreach($rule in $rules){
      $ruleArr = $rule.Split(",")
      if($ruleArr[2] -eq "True"){$rEnabled = $true} else {$rEnabled = $false}
      if($ruleArr[3] -eq "True"){$rTogether = $true} else {$rTogether = $false}
      get-cluster $ruleArr[0] | `
        New-DrsRule -Name $ruleArr[1] -Enabled $rEnabled -KeepTogether $rTogether -VM (Get-VM -Name ($ruleArr[http://4..($ruleArr.Count - 1)|http://4..($ruleArr.Count - 1)]))
    }
    

    [The trick used for guests, it's that we select the part of a table with the \[a... scoring b\].

    Currently, you will need to run the first script for each cluster separately, but this could be easily adapted to run on all clusters in your VI.

    Turn off all devices on the network... in any order you want

    Wait a minute

    Turn on the modem and let it run for a few minutes by itself

    Switch on the device connected to the modem and let it turn a good minute

    Keep the devices one at a time, about a minute apart from starting until the entire network is back

  • If I block someone on iphone 6s, can they still leave a voicemail? If so, how will I know? Y at - it an icon?  Would I be able to listen to it?

    If I block someone on iphone 6s, can they still leave a voicemail? If so, how will I know? Y at - it an icon?  Would I be able to listen to it?

    When callers are blocked, they are sent directly to your voicemail. They can leave a message. You can still hear none of these messages by going to voicemail in the phone app and then type in blocked messages. They are separated from the other voice mail message so that don't accidentally read you them if you don't want to.

  • All my .exe files have been removed. as well as system32\rundll32.exe... How can they be retrieved when no file opens and the system restore will not work.

    Original title:. Nothing works.

    All my .exe files have been removed. as well as system32\rundll32.exe... How can they be retrieved when no file opens and the system restore will not work. I can't install a fixit program or run anything at all.

    Safe mode?

    Looks like you have a virus/trojan/worm infection pretty good...

    Actually, even if you get executables run again - you can be (read as "will be") better off the coast of a new facility.  Wipe and install media with your product key and other serial numbers and installation for other products media you own and restore your last recognized reliable backup for your files.

  • Can they even steal your identity if you do banking over the internet?

    So what happens if you left these remote access on your computer, but you do not use banking services online... can they even steal your identity?

    They may infected it with something that would do in the future.  Or any personal information that you have now available including e-mail and any accounts which has a password.  You should probably reformat and reinstall, but at least scan the computer for viruses, malware and unknown programs.  Then change all your passwords.  You can change your account names of e-mail as well as your phone number as well.

  • Computer laptop Lenovo T400 (with XP) can't read some DVDs (for example ToyStory3)

    I have a Lenovo T400 (with XP as an operating system). I just rent a DVD ToyStory3 of Redbox. My laptop can not recognize DVD (dvd turned and continues to try to read, but it never succeeded). I put the DVD in another laptop (Dell Inspiron 15, with a Windows 7 operating system), and it works very well. I never had any problem to play a DVD on the Lenovo T400 (and he can still play DVDs like cars). Any suggestions?

  • ".dll" files - what are they? -Can they be removed safely from Vista?

    I'm trying to get a Twain scanner to work and it seems that the problem is old Twain dll files.

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library, which States

    The implementation by Microsoft of the shared library concept in the
    Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. "

    -can they removed safely in the Vista's C:\Windows directory?

    Generally, no. They are necessary for the programs and programs don't
    work without them. But there may be a few exceptions with DLL files
    which are no longer used. If you try to delete everything, be extremely
    careful and delete are not only those that you are absolutely sure
    necessary.

    And I'm sorry to say - I don't want to be insulting - but if
    You must ask yourself what is a DLL file, you should not mess around with
    them and try to remove everything.

  • Windows 7 drivers - can they expect?

    I would like to put Windows 7 on my S10-2 and, as a Microsoft partner, I have access to W7 - but it is not all the drivers posted by Lenovo.

    When can we expect to see the Windows 7 drivers posted on the Lenovo site and this which are people who as workarounds?

    Thank you!

    Hi ghchinoy welcome to colorado...

    Windows 7 knows most S9/10 (e) - 2 material of the series directly via install... wireless lan audio player cards... through Ms. windowsupdate just video...

    Thus only

    Establishment (driver Vista Y IP series)...

    Touchpad (all systems)

    Bluetooth (Vista TP Driver) should be installed manual...

    But I think that sooner or later Lenovo publish official drivers for IP S-Series or comes through Windows 7 update...

    My S10e works well with the multiboot - system (XP Prof (+ Quickstart)., Ubuntu, Windows 7 RC)

    waiten for my copy of windows 7 Final...
