Software to remove common entries between two (reg) files
kennysarmy replied to kennysarmy's topic in How do you do....it?
Interesting and might be useful at some point, but not sure it helps in this case as I'm trying to compare two non-admin logons to the same PC, rather than a system change that can be monitored by running the tool under admin rights. -
In troubleshooting an issue on a Windows PC I'd like to export the registry under two conditions and then process the REG files so all the common entries are removed? I've been using Notepad ++ to compare two files, but wondered if it would make analysis easier if I could remove all the common entries. Cheers

[ms office - o365] Random issues with Shared Computer Activation!
kennysarmy replied to kennysarmy's topic in Office Software
I'm still having issues with this, Microsoft did another 1hour remote session today, taking more screenshots. This is what I just tried which is really weird! I did the following with two new users I created: (6005 & 6006) 6005 logon - WORD opens and signs in automatically - all good 6006 logon - WORD opens and signs in automatically - all good Logon as Domain Admin Remove user profile for 6005 using sysdm.cpl method Remove user profile for 6006 by manually removing C:\users\6006 and manually removing REG key. (More details here: https://winbuzzer.com/2020/07/10/windows-10-how-to-delete-a-user-profile-from-the-registry-and-system-properties-xcxwbt/) 6005 logon - WORD opens and signs in automatically - all good 6006 logon - WORD asks for Sign in to set up Office! What's going on ? How can one method of removing local profile data screw up subsequent logons with respect to licencing Office 365 using Shard Computer Method?? -
I agree with this. They are being supervised to stop them doing things they shouldn't be doing, so just add going online to that list. Simples.

Having pointed out that we do have an Enterprise licence and that EES is required for Shared Computer Activation. Please bear with us while we investigate further. Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience this has caused you. Best regards. Ezekiel Yohanna Microsoft 365 Ambassador For Microsoft Customer Service & Support -

Thanks, do you have a link to confirm that DBL doesn't work with an OVS-ES agreement? -

Latest update from Microsoft: Apologies for the delayed correspondence. As discussed on our last session, I highlighted your support request to my internal team stating the observed behaviour and scenario surrounding the issue from out troubleshooting. I was informed the stated behaviour is sometimes observed when non-enterprise licenses are used with shared computer Office activations. A suggested alternative or recommendation, is to use the device based licensing option as stated in the documentation in the provided link below. Device-based licensing for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise - Deploy Office | Microsoft Docs I will be reaching you tomorrow, to discuss the possibility of implementing the recommended option. I look forward to working with you. Best Regards, Sodiq Abolade | Microsoft 365 Ambassador But we are! -
[ms office - o365] Random issues with Shared Computer Activation!

Just had an hour remote session with Microsoft who can't understand why it's not working! It looks like the Licencing Folder (and others) are not being created when the user's launch an M365 app. A working view: When we get activation errors! Signing out of WORD, closing it and signing in again can fix the issue ONLY if the Licencing folder gets auto-created! Microsoft have gone away to scratch their heads and find out what additional logs we can furnish them with to find out why the opening of a M365 app does not seem to create the environment correctly. They have verified our XML file is correct, the registry key for shared computer activation is being created. -

Yes we're OVS-ES. It works 99.9% of the time. Users don't appear to get any licence limits. This is a test account which currently has an issue. Doesn't seem to be a limit issue as it's not counting them against the user... -

Little bump. What Microsoft Support and reseller are telling me are contradicting each other! Microsoft Support: This is Max the Microsoft 365 support ambassador, I spoke with my colleagues and after examining your licenses they found that you need apps for enterprise for a shared computer license, apparently A1 licenses don't have the right licensing for shared systems look up, for shared applications they recommend purchasing the apps for enterprise at the very least to get a shared activation Reseller: I did just have a check with Microsoft distribution for you and they appear to say that the free M365 you already have should also support shared computer activation! -
For a while now we've been having an issue when staff and students logon they are not getting Office activated! This is often fixed by signing out of WORD for example, shutting it down and reopening the application and signing in again. If this doesn't work, then a reboot often solves the problem. I finally got round to opening a call with Microsoft to see if we could get to the bottom of what was causing it. This is their response after I sent them some screenshots and troubleshooting steps we'd tried. This is Max the Microsoft 365 support ambassador, I spoke with my colleagues and after examining your licenses they found that you need apps for enterprise for a shared computer license, apparently A1 licenses don't have the right licensing for shared systems look up, for shared applications they recommend purchasing the apps for enterprise at the very least to get a shared activation. If you have any further questions or need any further assistance please feel free to email me. Is this something huge that I've missed? Our staff have a Office 365 A1 for faculty & Microsoft 365 Apps for Faculty licences. Students have the equivalent student licence. Seems I also need a "apps for enterprise for a shared computer license" if I want my staff and students to be able to use any PC around the site. Is this right?

Interactive Whiteboards - are people still buying them?

Hi, yes I mean interactive whiteboards as opposed to interactive flat panels -
I replaced one in : Users\\AppData\Roaming\Makerbot\MakerbotPrint and it seemed to make no difference :/

Downloaded the file "user_config.json" Can you advise which folder this needs the file? Once in place, should the software just open without a logon prompt?

Just been asked to get this to work! Not playing through our smoothwall, did anyone manage to get a filter list required for this software?

I have a folder of shared folders. How can I extract/find/save the number of "Limit the number of simultaneous users to:" that is set against each share?
