		<description><![CDATA[SCCM 2007 server has certain prerequisites before you can start the installation. I am installing SCCM 2007 SP2 server on a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine. This is my second SCCM 2007 server which I am installing for my lab environment. My next installation is final and I want to automate these prerequisites which I will install from a script later. For Windows Server 2008 R2 you can use the dism.exe tool to install the roles and features. What I have done, I used dism /online  /Get-Features /format:table on my first server and copied the data into Excel. I used some smart formatting and functions, so I could generate the command line which I need to run on my new SCCM server. How to install SCCM 2007 roles and features prerequisites on a Windows Server 2008 R2? Run the following line from a command prompt with elevated administrator: dism /online /Enable-Feature /featurename:BITSExtensions-Upload /featurename:IIS-ApplicationDevelopment /featurename:IIS-ASPNET /featurename:IIS-CommonHttpFeatures /featurename:IIS-DefaultDocument /featurename:IIS-DirectoryBrowsing /featurename:IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics /featurename:IIS-HttpCompressionStatic /featurename:IIS-HttpErrors /featurename:IIS-HttpLogging /featurename:IIS-HttpRedirect /featurename:IIS-HttpTracing /featurename:IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility /featurename:IIS-ISAPIExtensions /featurename:IIS-ISAPIFilter /featurename:IIS-LoggingLibraries /featurename:IIS-ManagementConsole /featurename:IIS-Metabase /featurename:IIS-NetFxExtensibility /featurename:IIS-Performance     /featurename:IIS-RequestFiltering /featurename:IIS-RequestMonitor /featurename:IIS-Security     /featurename:IIS-StaticContent     /featurename:IIS-WebDAV /featurename:IIS-WebServer /featurename:IIS-WebServerManagementTools /featurename:IIS-WebServerRole /featurename:IIS-WindowsAuthentication /featurename:IIS-WMICompatibility /featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64/featurename:LightweightServer /featurename:MSRDC-Infrastructure /featurename:Printing-XPSServices-Features After I run the Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 prerequisite checker I only saw &#8220;Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)&#8221; was missing. This is OK for now as I am not installing Software Update role. One thing not to forget is to enable and configure the IIS WebDAV Authoring rules before you start. For more details on WebDAV Authoring rules please refer to the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When setting up a Microsoft Application Virtualization (AppV) management server you need to prepare your OS with couple of prerequisites (mainly for IIS and SQL server database engine). I am running the AppV manament server on a Windows Server 2008 R2 release. There are several ways to install the IIS features but I am using the dism.exe command. Dism.exe has also the online feature which allows you to modify running system. With following Dism.exe command line I am adding the required IIS components for AppV server.

Currently I am evaluating to use the FILE option and store the virtual package on a file share. I am using the RTSP protocol and I am looking to get rid of the AppV steaming servers and only use file shares. I import my new Jing virtual application on my AppV management server and refreshed my local AppV client to publish the new application. The icon appeared on the desktop and I opened the shortcut. I immedialty received the following &#8220;Application Virtualization Error&#8221;. During the installation AllowIndependentFileStreaming was not set when the AppV client was installed. To correct this and allow streaming of a SFT file from a FILE share please change the following registry key to 1 and restart &#8220;Application Virtualization Client&#8221; service. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\Client\Configuration\AllowIndependentFileStreaming I used the following script to change my clients and allow the FILE streaming: reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\Client\Configuration /v AllowIndependentFileStreaming /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f net stop sftlist net start sftlist References Technet &#8211; Application Virtualization Client Installer Command-Line Parameters]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the time I am using virtual machines for developing installation scripts and operating system images. With Microsoft App-V sequencer I am depending on using virtual machines, and snapshots to revert to the previous state after sequencing process is done. Many times these snapshots are older than 30 days and now and then I run into this small and annoying issues. If I encountered this then I had to go to &#8220;Active Directory Users and Computers&#8221; console, find the computer object, reset the computer account, log-in with local administrator account on the system, join to a workgroup, reboot, log-in again with administrator account and join the system back to the domain. All these steps could take up to 30 minutes depending on my other activities. Back in the old days I used the netdom.exe command and I remembered there was an option to reset the machine account password with the domain controller. On the web I did some research and found a working solution for me. Out of the box netdom.exe tool is not available on Windows 7 (I am using 32bit enterprise version). To get the command utility I had to install Remote Server Administration Tools (KB958830) and copy that on a network share. I found out that the netdom.exe utility needs to stored in C:\Windows\System32 and netdom.exe.mui file should be copied to C:\Windows\System32\en-US folder. If the netdom.exe location is wrong or the mui file is missing netdom.exe won&#8217;t show anything when started. Download netdom.exe from here. These two files ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BitLocker is one of the features included with the Ultimate and Enterprise editions of Windows 7 for a full disk encryption of the hard disks. This additional feature helped me during a migration project to Windows 7 to get rid of the additional third party application (Safeboot) for disk encryption. Enabling Bitlocker on a single system is no problem but the challenges I had for enterprise deployment were: Prepare Active Directory schema for Bitlocker and TPM attributes Additional configuration for Group Policy Objects linked to Computer Configuration Activating and/or enabling the TPM security chip during the installation of Windows 7 Automation during the post configuration of Windows 7 to backup the recovery keys and start the encryption of the System drive. The first two bullets were matter of proper project management, and execution of those changes on the Active Directory forest and linking Group Policy. Activating and enabling TPM security chip I solved by having system BIOS changed during the first boot before the installation. Most challenging part of my enterprise deployment was to create some kind of script to enable Bitlocker after Windows 7 was installed. For Windows 7 we used only one thick image and same image was used for notebooks and desktop models. After doing research I found a sample script that can be used to automate the deployment of BitLocker using the BitLocker WMI interfaces. By having the EnableBitLocker.vbs script I still needed to run some additional steps to finalize process for encrypting the drive. How ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Active Directory Domain Controller (AD-DS) is an important Windows Infrastructure role. In some circumstances you will have to provide remote access (RDP) to your helpdesk- and/or support personnel to connect to those machines. For me I needed to develop a plan to allow non &#8220;Domain Admin&#8221; personnel to remotely connect to our branch office DC&#8217;s. How to permit users to log on remotely to a domain controller? Allowing non admin users to remotely connect to a domain controller requires couple of steps. Creating a security group and changing the &#8220;Default Domain Controller&#8221; group policy is how achieved that in my configuration. If you don&#8217;t do anything then most probably people will contact you saying their remote desktop connection has been denied. E.g. Start with creating a new windows security group. Add all required user accounts to the new security group. After you are have added the user accounts, make the new security group member of &#8220;Remote Desktop Users&#8221; builtin group. Without this step these users won&#8217;t be allowed to use the Remote Desktop Protocol on the Windows Server. Start Group Policy Management Editor and edit &#8220;Default Domain Controller&#8221; policy. Locate &#8220;Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services&#8221; User rights setting (Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\). Add the new security group and close the management console. If you are too quick trying to log on with a supporter account, Domain Controller will shows you the following message. Make sure to wait that the &#8220;Default Domain Controller&#8221; policy has been ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Deploying Windows 7 in an enterprise requires more then just installing the systems from a dvd media. With Windows 7 you can use an answer file to configure Windows settings during installation process. The XML answer file will contain all of the settings that are required for an unattended installation. The ultimate goal during the installation is that we are not be prompted with user interface interaction. What is a unattended answer file? I am creating an answer file using Windows System Image Manager (SIM), a utility for creating and modifying unattended answer files. Below I am sharing a sample Autounattend.xml answer file that includes basic Windows Setup configuration and minimum Windows Welcome customizations. The Autounattend.xml is generated using different component settings areas. Component setting are the configurable aspects of each component in a Windows 7 installation for unattended setup. The following components I am using for the sample file: Windows PE: Component &#8211; Microsoft-Windows-Setup Windows PE: Component &#8211; Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE Specialize: Component &#8211; Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup Specialize: Component &#8211; Microsoft-Windows-Deployment oobeSystem: Component &#8211; Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup Autounattend.xml &#60;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&#62; &#60;unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"&#62; &#60;settings pass="windowsPE"&#62; &#60;component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&#62; &#60;DiskConfiguration&#62; &#60;Disk wcm:action="add"&#62; &#60;CreatePartitions&#62; &#60;CreatePartition wcm:action="add"&#62; &#60;Order&#62;1&#60;/Order&#62; &#60;Extend&#62;true&#60;/Extend&#62; &#60;Type&#62;Primary&#60;/Type&#62; &#60;/CreatePartition&#62; &#60;/CreatePartitions&#62; &#60;ModifyPartitions&#62; &#60;ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"&#62; &#60;Active&#62;true&#60;/Active&#62; &#60;Format&#62;NTFS&#60;/Format&#62; &#60;Label&#62;LocalWin7HDD&#60;/Label&#62; &#60;Letter&#62;C&#60;/Letter&#62; &#60;Order&#62;1&#60;/Order&#62; &#60;PartitionID&#62;1&#60;/PartitionID&#62; &#60;/ModifyPartition&#62; &#60;/ModifyPartitions&#62; &#60;DiskID&#62;0&#60;/DiskID&#62; &#60;WillWipeDisk&#62;true&#60;/WillWipeDisk&#62; &#60;/Disk&#62; &#60;WillShowUI&#62;OnError&#60;/WillShowUI&#62; &#60;/DiskConfiguration&#62; &#60;ImageInstall&#62; &#60;OSImage&#62; &#60;InstallTo&#62; &#60;DiskID&#62;0&#60;/DiskID&#62; &#60;PartitionID&#62;1&#60;/PartitionID&#62; &#60;/InstallTo&#62; &#60;WillShowUI&#62;OnError&#60;/WillShowUI&#62; &#60;/OSImage&#62; &#60;/ImageInstall&#62; &#60;UserData&#62; &#60;AcceptEula&#62;true&#60;/AcceptEula&#62; &#60;Organization&#62;Networknet&#60;/Organization&#62; &#60;FullName&#62;Networknet&#60;/FullName&#62; &#60;/UserData&#62; &#60;/component&#62; &#60;component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&#62; &#60;SetupUILanguage&#62; &#60;UILanguage&#62;en-US &#60;/UILanguage&#62; &#60;/SetupUILanguage&#62; &#60;InputLocale&#62;en-US &#60;/InputLocale&#62; &#60;SystemLocale&#62;en-US &#60;/SystemLocale&#62; &#60;UILanguage&#62;en-US &#60;/UILanguage&#62; &#60;UILanguageFallback&#62;en-US &#60;/UILanguageFallback&#62; ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sequencing application is a creation process where you create packages that can be delivered to the end user. The App-V sequencer monitors the installation process for an application and records all necessary files , services and registry settings needed for that application to run in a virtual environment. With Application Virtualization you can’t virtualize all your applications so make sure before you start you know what the applications will do. Keep the 80 – 20 rule in mind. Any application or service which is installing boot or device drivers can’t be sequenced. Some applications can be made as virtual packages as long as the host operating system has the dependencies fulfilled outside the App-V virtual environment. For example a USB print driver is available locally and a scanning application is sequenced with App-V sequencer. The virtual application running in it’s isolated environment and depending on available services running on the host. Sequencer machine configuration The whole chain of application virtualization starts at the beginning. For every package we sequence we need to put all our efforts we can to make sure the quality of the package is good as we can make it. Make sure you have an internal process how sequencing should be done and describe that process in a procedure. If you are not in the office the process should continue. The following list can help you before you start to create the package: References Prescriptive guidance for sequencing Office 2010 in Microsoft App-V Technet Application Virtualization Whitepapers ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft App-V client is very important part of the Microsoft’s Virtual Application solution. The App-V client integrates itself into the infrastructure by publishing the applications to users. The App-V client creates a local cache file called sftfs.fsd (Windows 7 = C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Application Virtualization Client\SoftGrid Client) where application packages are stored. During the sequencing process a special drive is required where destination files of the installation are stored. By default this drive is configured to be Q:\. When installing the App-V client on the computers where these sequenced applications are published also special Q:\ drive is mounted and shown in Windows Explorer. During the installation you have a choice to change that to another drive but still it is shown. Accessing this Q:\ drive with Windows Explorer is not possible. Regular user or admin will get access is denied. If a published application is started then you could access the package directory and see it’s content. Other folders are still inaccessible except when you use DSC (Dynamic Suite Composition) to another package. How do I hide App-V client Q:\ drive in Windows Explorer? There are different options. A vbscript, registry file or using GPO Preferences can be used to create the special DWORD keys in the registry. What I have learned is with a regular user in Windows 7 you are not able to add them. Make sure you add them as admin in HKEY_USERS, locate the SID of the user and add them there. After you restart Explorer.exe or restart the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I reinstalled Windows Live Writer 2011. The installation took longer then expected. After the installation I started&#160; Windows Live Writer from the Windows Live menu. The interface has&#160; been updated since I used the application one or two years ago. It has the Office ribbon which I like. The issue I had while editing the blog over the WordPress admin pages is working better with Windows Live Writer. The &#60;p&#62; tags are there without any additional configuration. I needed to install a WordPress plugin to allow HTML paragraph tags while editing in WordPress Visual Editor. &#60;p&#62; tags are important for my WordPress theme and styling of paragraphs. Why should I download and install Windows Live Writer? Most of the time I am encountering issues when sitting at work and dealing with them. Having Windows Live Writer one click away is perfect solution for me. I don’t need to go to my site and also having special proxy configuration to upload pictures (FTP site setting). One disadvantage I see when installing Windows Live Writer is that the installation is done locally on my managed Windows 7 client. At work we are using Microsoft Application Virtualization solution (App-V) and sequencing Windows Live Writer 2011 is possible. I am going to do that soon.

		<description><![CDATA[Problem Statement In the last year I have seen many strange problems when Offline Files and Redirected folders have been enabled on Windows 7. Many times the Group Policy Folder Redirection failed due to the folders were set to offline or automatic caching from the shares. To start with a clean user profile you can delete everything but still the Offline Files cache database is not reset. The offline files database is stored in C:\Windows\CSC. I have seen several different ways to initialize/reset the offline database on the Internet but this one has been tested and proved by me to be working for Windows 7 Enterprise client. Requirements There are three diffrent options to enable the FormatDatabase flag in the registry. Option 1 Create a FormatDatabase.reg file with notepad and import that from command line. E.g. RegEdit.exe /s FormatDatabase.reg Option 2 Option 3 It doesn&#8217;t matter which option you are using the result will be same. Reboot the client and log in with admin account. After reboot check &#8220;Offline Files&#8221; control panel by going to View your offline files Open Computers which should contain 0 items. Meaning the C:\Windows\CSC database folder is now empty and you can start with clean Offline Files Database.

During my Windows 7 development of a WIM image I wanted to clear the logs after the image was restored. I am using several PowerShell scripts and adding this command line helped me to have a clean start of logs. Requirements Make sure you open a PowerShell with Windows 7 elevated privileges Create a ps1 file based on the script below.

		<description><![CDATA[Solution Definition The following Windows 7 recipe will help you while imaging (with imagex.exe into a WIM file) the client operating system for deployment. The script can be run from PowerShell or CMD file. I have integrated the following script just after Sysprep.exe has run to make sure all events in the Windows EventViewer have been cleared. Last year during the engineering process of Windows 7 image I forgot the clean all Windows 7 logs. This recipe will clean the system for better troubleshooting down the road. Requirements Make sure you open a shell with Windows 7 elevated privileges Create a ps1 or cmd file based on the script below. Script Option 1 (long one) Script Option 2 (short one) Special thanks to Garry who shared the short version of the recipe.

		<description><![CDATA[For several years I used TrueCrypt based encryption to secure my data. Since the release of Windows 7 and enhancements in the disk management I now see the possibility to replace TrueCrypt. Why should I replace TrueCrypt? The reason is simple. I am working with a managed Windows 7 client and I don&#8217;t want to load non standard software on my client. There are certain &#8220;Computer Use Policy&#8221; in place and using Bitlocker to encrypt the data is out of the box available to me. How to encrypt a portable Bitlocker files? Well I would create a VHD fixed disk and encrypt this virtual volume with Bitlocker to Go. Note: before you start please make sure you are running Windows 7 Enterprise or Windows 7 Ultimate version Start Computer ManagementClick Disk Management and right clickClick Create VHD Enter the VHD filename and location; the Virtual disk size and set the format to fixed size. The disk will be encrypted so you need to set it fixed. Click OK. New volume is created now. Please initialize the disk, create new SIMPLE volume, choose drive letter and format it as NTFS. After following the steps new disk should appear in Windows Explorer. Go to Windows Explorer and right click on the new created drive. Choose Turn on Bitlocker… Check Use a password to unlock the drive and type your password. Click Next Save the recovery key to a secure location. I would recommend to print it out and keep this somewhere offsite! ...]]></description>

Office 2010 now requires product activation similar to Windows Vista/7. The following Microsoft Office Activation Wizard may appear.

		<description><![CDATA[If you are using Microsoft App-V technology and planning to sequence Office 2010, Visio 2010 or Project 2010 please make sure you install the Microsoft Office 2010 Deployment Kit for App-V binaries. Today with a co-worker  we were working on sequencing Project 2010 and at some point during the installation we&#8217;ve got the following error message: Pediatrician Rockwall Error 1920. Service  Office Software Protection Platform (osppsvc) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Microsoft Project  2010 uses the Office Software Protection Platform (SPP) service that basically is the same activation technology that is used to activate volume editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. This service in contained in the Microsoft Office 2010 Deployment Kit for App-V. Before you sequence Project 2010, this service must be installed and configured on the sequencing server. It must also be installed on any client computers that you want to stream Project 2010. References Prescriptive guidance for sequencing Office 2010 in Microsoft App-V.

		<description><![CDATA[Out of the box Windows Virtual PC default does not support adding a Virtual Floppy drive. This feature has been removed from the GUI and hidden for general public. Windows Virtual PC still allows you to attach and work with VFD files. You will need to complete some steps from Command Prompt before your can work with them. Example of the my “Windows XP Mode” virtual machine settings. There is no option for a floppy drive. Microsoft guys created a script which still allows you to attach a VFD file, but you still need to create a VFD file from scratch before you can continue. Download Floppy Drive Scripts.zip script. After running FloppyDrive.vbs you see that there a action to attach a vfd file. After providing right parameters I got the following message: Attaching C:\mklinks\floppy.vfd to the floppy drive. C:\Scripts\vm\FloppyDrive.vbs(113, 3) (null): The system cannot find the file specified The script does not create my floppy drive and therefore I installed the WinImage tool. Create new file and save the file as floppy.vfd. Now I re-run my FloppyDirve.vbs script and the file was attached. If I open the VMC file now I can see my virtual floppy has been added to the configuration. Without the VB script this can be added manually and will perform same actions as the script. &#60;floppy id=&#8221;0&#8243;&#62;             &#60;pathname&#62;                 &#60;absolute type=&#8221;string&#8221;&#62;C:\mklinks\floppy.vfd&#60;/absolute&#62;                 &#60;relative type=&#8221;string&#8221;&#62;..\..\..\..\..\..\..\mklinks\floppy.vfd&#60;/relative&#62;             &#60;/pathname&#62;         &#60;/floppy&#62;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have created a virtual machine which was installed within a German OU in Active Directory. This OU has special configuration for location and keyboard layout. I want to change the default keyboard layout from German to English when I login on the system. My keyboard layout is English (QWERTY) and the German uses QWERTZ with different characters. Windows XP logo with DE keyboard flag To do that, login as Administrator and start RegEdit.exe. Browse then to: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload Change REG_SZ names 1 to the Keyboard layout you need. I needed to have this Default in English (EN) instead of German (DE).
