See my howto I performed to get this done on my own Windows VISTA notebook.

• Run CMD.exe to get into the command prompt and run “netsh wlan show profiles”

• I am interested in exporting the “NetworknetForFree” WLAN SSID into a text file which I can import on another notebook.
• I am still in the command prompt and than I execute “netsh wlan export profile name=”NetworknetForFree” folder=C:\” to export NetworknetForFree to C:\ drive.

• NetworknetForFree wireless network profile has now been exported to a file named “C:\Wireless Network Connection-NetworknetForFree.xml” and I can copy this file to a usb drive. If you want to export all your wireless profiles just run “netsh wlan export profile folder=C:\“
• The netsh tool generates a XML based file with all the settings for the wireless profile.

• Start a CMD.exe command prompt on the new notebook and import the XML file located on the usb drive. You can copy the XML file first from the usb dirve to C:\ and than import the file. Type and execute “netsh wlan add profile filename=”c:\Wireless Network Connection-NetworknetForFree.xml” user=all“

The wireless SSID “NetworknetForFree” network has been migrated without knowing the exact settings like SSID, authentication type and the password. I was also trying to perform these steps with a Windows XP SP2 client but too bad that this feature is only for Windows Vista and not XP.

I am not able to control mouse session when using rdp console session Hyper-V Manager Virtual Machine Connections and only keyboard is working. “Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop Session”.

The update for my x86 machine only requires 1.52MB of space and 5 minutes of installing.

After the update has been installed go to Administrative Tools and start the Hyper-V Manager mmc console for your Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC0 host servers.

Before you start downloading the SP1 package check your Windows Vista version. To find out which edition you are running, click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties. In the System section, you can view the operating system under System type. If you are installing SP1 from an installation disc, the correct version will install automatically.

Currently I am running 64-bit Operating System of Windows Vista. Download the Windows Vista SP1 Standalone update: x64 | x86

Select the language and download installation package.

After the download has completed locate the Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe file and exceute the SP1 update. Make sure there is enough free space on your computer’s hard disk to install the service pack. The 32-bit SP1 requires a minimum of 7 gigabytes (GB) of free space; the 64-bit SP1 requires a minimum of 13 GB of free space. Click Run if you get a security warning and click continue if UAC is enabled.

Click Next

I unchecked “Automatically restart the computer” and click Install

  Click Restart. Vista will reboot and it will some more minutes to finish the update.

Installation of Service Pack 1 was successful.  I tried to install the beta versions before and as posted the installation failed each time.

Cannot establish the data sharing session with user1, either because user1 canceled the session, or because you or the person you are calling is behind a firewall or Network Address Translator (NAT).

 

How to resolve this issue?

Uninstall Microsoft Office Communicator 2005
Get the KB927853 hotfix from Microsoft. This update will install the NetMeeting 3.02 version which is compatible with Windows Vista.
Reboot the machine
Install Microsoft Office Communicator 2005

I scripted the Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 into a Altiris SVS application layer but after installing the hotfix it still didn’t solve my problem. Make sure you uninstall the Communicator first or delete the SVS layer and than reinstall the packages.

Go to this website http://shark007.testbox.dk and check out yourself.

As said before I own the MSDN subscriber license keys and downloads and now the latest and greatest version of Vista is running and ready for testing.

This time the installation was from fresh integrated Vista SP1 iso and it’s time to reinstall all my physical machines. I tried to get the SP1 update installed, but never succeed and my vista install on my notebook is really showing weird symptoms.

· Improves BitLocker Drive Encryption by offering an additional multi-factor authentication method that combines a key protected by the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) with a Startup Key stored on a USB storage device and a user-generated Personal Identification Number (PIN).

· Enhances the BitLocker encryption support to volumes other than bootable volumes in Windows Vista (for Enterprise and Ultimate SKUs).

· Adds support for SSTP (Secure Sockets Tunnel Protocol), a remote access VPN tunneling protocol that will be part of Microsoft’s RRAS (Routing and Remote Access Service) platform. SSTP helps provide full-network VPN remote access connections over SSL, removing some of the VPN connectivity challenges that other VPN tunnels face traversing NAT, web proxies, and firewalls.

· SP1 reduces the number of UAC (User Account Control) prompts from 4 to 1 when creating or renaming a folder at a protected location.

I am ready to start using the Bitlocker volume encryption now; as quoted I see new improvements and time to get rid of the TrueCrypt files and have the encryption built-in. New features like SSTP has been added and more cool things to check. For complete list of changes check out this document or http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb898842.aspx.
