We are after a bunch of laptop/convertible things for the little ones. Nothing fancy, but something that is robus. We have had a look at these, but it seems they no longer make them nimu NL2 10.1" Is there a model out there from a manufacturer that is comparable?

Nope. Still having the same problem. The only way I seem to be able to get it to work is to move computers account in AD to the default Computers container, and then manually tun off the firewall on the device. If I move the computer account to another container, which has a group policy to explicitely disable all windows firewall, the client fails to install. Using CMTRACE I can see the folliwing: What might I have done wrong? Anyone?

exchange asking for credentials every time its opened
RabbieBurns replied to RabbieBurns's topic in Enterprise Software
Yes we had a user today with this issue, and all the support tickets happened as soon as the password change happened. It happens to me, but only for a secondary mailbox i have mounted within outlook. I don't think i know what PF is so I don't think we are using it, no. Also, if we create a new mail profile, or a user logs in to a new laptop, opens outlook for the first time and lets it load, it also pops up looking for user credentials. I dont belive it should do so? -

Hopefully this will let me install the EMC on windows 8 / 2012 Server. Have no plans to move to 2013 Exchange for a long while, its horrible IMO, but the above I'm looking forward to.

exchange asking for credentials every time its opened
RabbieBurns replied to RabbieBurns's topic in Enterprise Software
yep cleared credential manager for sure. The profile fix will do for the headmaster and important people, cant do it for everyone. Also is this gonna happen every time we force a password change? Not looked in event logs, any tips to which event I should look for? -
VLC Media Player App for Windows 8 (Kickstarter Project)
RabbieBurns replied to Arthur's topic in Windows 8
Technical update on the WinRT port Update #9 - For backers only · Feb. 12, 2013 · 6 comments Status So, a few weeks have passed, and we have not spoken a lot about the port on WinRT/Metro/Windows RT/WP8. Of course, some of you will complain, but the main reason for that, is that we've been very busy on VLC So here is what we did, mostly on the technical side VLC engine The biggest part of the work resides in the port of the VLC engine to a WinRT compatible runtime. A lot of the work we've done so far has been on that. More specifically, we have: ported VLC APIs call to UNICODE (wide chars), allowed VLC to be compiled for Windows 8 API targets, upgraded some VLC Win32 API calls, removed some code-path when compiling for WinRT, fixed some issues on mingw-w64 toolchain for Windows 8, prepared a compatibility library, changed our packaging for WinRT, improved our audio output for Windows. Winstore compatibility library A lot of work has been and will be on this library, so let me speak a bit more about it. Instead of ifdef-ing the VLC code everywhere for WinRT, we decided to reimplement the forbidden calls in a library that would expose the same old Win32 functions, but implemented with the allowed APIs. The biggest advantage of this approach is that you don't need to modify a lot of your common codebase, and that you don't need to hack all the libraries that are linked to VLC. And this would have been a huge task. Moreover, it allows to adapt to newer versions of Windows more easily. Moreover, this library will be usable by every other project. But as you can imagine, doing that is quite tricky, since we don't modify VLC, we don't modify the headers, but we insert it at link time... We have done some of the work, but we still have a huge amount of work to do, notably on threads and Winsock reimplementation. This library is hosted in the mingw-w64 repository and will be the main focus of some of us for a bit of time. Application Above the VLC engine (libVLC), we have a CX/C++ wrapper, in order to expose VLC functions to the application, since libVLC is plain C, and it is compiled in Visual Studio. Above the wrapper, we have the main application. This application is written in C#, compiled in Visual Studio, and uses the wrapper in order to access playback functions. So far, the application has a basic media library, and playback support using VLC engine. The media library UI follows more or less what we've shown in the KickStarter. The player UI wasn't shown, but it looks a bit like the normal Video application, in order to match the official style. The video, so far, is rendered into a memory buffer from libVLC and then is displayed using Direct2D in a video surface. This is not yet the best method, but it is good enough for now. What's next So, what are we going to work on now: the winstore compat library the winstore compat library (threads) , the winstore compat library (MSVCRT), the interface, in order to match our promises, the audio and video outputs, to go faster. A lot of the work is going to go faster now that we have done correctly the beginning and a beta as soon as possible for our backers. Next update should have screenshots Thanks a lot -
Our school organizes an inter-school sailing event that takes place annually. It has about 600 competitors from across the country and currently the teacher who manages it gets snowed under with enrollment forms, payment cheques etc, and organizing competitors into categories etc. Im thinking we could set up some sort of online website where folk can self-enroll, pay their fees online, and it will automatically organize the competitors into categories based on what they enter in the online forms. Is there an existing system that could be tweaked for this? Or am I looking at paying a website company to design a bespoke system with an E-Commerce shopping cart component?

exchange asking for credentials every time its opened
RabbieBurns replied to RabbieBurns's topic in Enterprise Software
is a screen shot of the prompt for credentials. Its taken on my win8 laptop with outlook 2013 and for me it only shows for the helpdesk account which is a secondary mailbox added to outlook, but thats the same prompt other users get in their win7 / 2010 outlook. Its not all users either, its probably about 50 or so, at least thats all we've had tickets for. Experimenting today, it seems creating a new outlook profile resolves the issue, they are presented with the credentials popup but after they enter domain\usernamee and password it then lets them in and remembers creds. -
exchange asking for credentials every time its opened
RabbieBurns replied to RabbieBurns's topic in Enterprise Software
@sukh Do you mean in credential manager in control panel? Tried clearing those yeah still persists -
We initiated a site wide password change for all staff at the beginning of the year, but now Outlook is pestering users (some not all) every time they open outlook for their credentials. Even ticking the 'remember username password' doesnt work. Cant figure it out! exchange 2010 Rollup latest and Outlook 2010 (client hasnt been updated in a while could this be an issue?)

Worked with 2nd level support and we basically had to do a full reinstall of ILM and all the components. Its all working great now. totally apprehensive about the migration to 365 though... We were given amazing support from Microsoft Australia for getting live@edu set up, but this seems to have evaporated for office365 migration... @jamesbmarshall i know there are a lot of australian schools here not really knowing what is going on with live@edu -> 365 and not really sure who to talk to.. (myself included) Do you have any contact details of any of your counterparts down here you can put us in touch with?

I did a repair install of the management agents but that hasnt resolved the issue. the microsoft guy is escalating the case. I get like 1 email a day from him its a bit tedious even when I reply immediately. @SYNACK I'm still a bit lost... where should i look for this cmdlet plz?
-
was the first thing i did Theyve said to reinstall the management agents. Ill need to dig out my documentation from 2009 to try to remember how to do this.
-
thats very likely as the last time I installed updates was 14/12! Not sure what you mean about loading the commandlet manually - do you mean running the StartSync.ps1 ?
-
We have just created about 250 new student accounts in AD for the start of the new school year, and I have just logged into ILM to check it was provisioning the Live@edu accounts correctly. However it seems it has not run successdfully since 14/12/12. Running the StartSync -FirstRun cmdlet shows the following error PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft Identity Integration Server\SourceCode\Scripts> .\StartSync.ps1 -FirstRun Get-WmiObject : Invalid namespace "root/MicrosoftIdentityIntegrationServer" At C:\Program Files\Microsoft Identity Integration Server\SourceCode\Scripts\StartSync.ps1:162 char:14 + $onpremise = Get-WmiObject -Class MIIS_ManagementAgent -Namespace root/Microsoft ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: ( [Get-WmiObject], ManagementException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetWMIManagementException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWmiObjectCommand Get-WmiObject : Invalid namespace "root/MicrosoftIdentityIntegrationServer" At C:\Program Files\Microsoft Identity Integration Server\SourceCode\Scripts\StartSync.ps1:163 char:11 + $hosted = Get-WmiObject -Class MIIS_ManagementAgent -Namespace root/MicrosoftIde ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: ( [Get-WmiObject], ManagementException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetWMIManagementException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWmiObjectCommand [Full Import (Stage Only)] Error: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. Any idea whats happened? We havent changed anything since the 14/12/12 and have 250 new students all needing an email account today!

[sccm 2012] How to use SCCM with Ultrabooks with no network port
RabbieBurns replied to RabbieBurns's topic in O/S Deployment
wouldnt that involve joining them to the domain etc or can the client be installed straight out the box? and even to starter edition etc? Booting from USB is an option but is a bit tedious having to do it 100 times. -
having a liveID isnt an issue for us as we use live@edu so all students have one anyway.. its the issue of having to login to the app store with it every time you log into a device, and then install apps. You can I belive link your domain credtials with your liveID, but this is a manual thing the users have to do there is no way to manage this for all your users. Also I believe that when accounts are linked like this, the apps you have installed will remember and auto install on subsequent devices, but only 5 devices. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-8/103670-windows-8-windows-rt-product-guide.html I questioned it here but no-one had an answer.

Hi our imaging guy has the exact same problem. IF anyone could provide a HOW-TO guide or such would be great, thanks.
