		<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. I don&#8217;t need to run the Server Manager on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I can achieve this from command line and script. dism /online /Enable-Feature /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-IIS6ManagementCompatibility /featurename:IIS-ISAPIExtensions /featurename:IIS-ISAPIFilter /featurename:IIS-LegacyScripts /featurename:IIS-LegacySnapIn /featurename:IIS-ManagementConsole /featurename:IIS-ManagementScriptingTools /featurename:IIS-ManagementService /featurename:IIS-Metabase /featurename:IIS-NetFxExtensibility /featurename:IIS-Performance /featurename:IIS-RequestFiltering /featurename:IIS-RequestMonitor /featurename:IIS-Security /featurename:IIS-StaticContent /featurename:IIS-WebServer /featurename:IIS-WebServerManagementTools /featurename:IIS-WebServerRole /featurename:IIS-WindowsAuthentication /featurename:IIS-WMICompatibility Refrences Sysadminsblog.com - Setting up App-V Management Server Augusto Alvarez &#8211; Implementing App-V]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I needed to export some fonts I used in a web design project. On my iMac I created the logo with Photoshop. On Mac OS X I never export fonts before and today I learned how easy it is. On a Windows PC this process is straight forward by copying font files from C:\Windows\Fonts. How to export fonts from a OS X Mac system? I created my Networknet logo with Photoshop. I want to export this font and share with others. In Photoshop I verified which font (&#8220;Lane &#8211; Narrow&#8220;) I used. Now I want to export this font. On Mac: go to Applications folder and start &#8220;Font Book&#8220;. Go to User collection and locate the font. Go to File and click &#8220;Export Fonts&#8220;. Choose folder and click Save. That&#8217;s it. Open Finder and locate the Folder. If font files are huge, I would compress them into a ZIP file and mail them if possible. Very easy job the accomplish on Mac OS X operating system.

		<description><![CDATA[AppV server supports different options to steam your SFT deployment file. RTSP, RTSPS, FILE, HTTP and HTTPS are the protocols available for the Server URL. 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[Two years ago I switched from a PC to a Mac. I have three Macs running as my workstation system, a portable MacBook and a multimedia Mac Mini. Last week I realized it was time to do some upgrade to improve the performance of my iMac and Mac Mini. Both systems were slow. I never reinstalled these systems before with a fresh installation of Mac OS X. The only solution I had was to upgrade the memory. My main reasons for upgrading the memory: My iMac 24&#8243; (Early 2009) run on 4GB and Mac Mini (Late 2009) run on 2GB of RAM. Last year I checked for official Apple memory upgrade but the price wasn&#8217;t reasonable to spend (&#62;$150) and I postponed that until last week. To illustrate my frustration I created a screenshot of my &#8220;Activity Monitor&#8221;. As you can see Aperture 3 and Safari are running. These two applications are high demanding but imagine that Photoshop and Firefox were running. When developing websites I use Firefox and Photoshop in parallel, so unworkable situation. I have 160MB Free and 820MB Swap used. Sure there is something available in the Inactive area but for me not enough to wait for. With Mac OS X Lion, the System Information utility ( / About this Mac / More Information / Memory) has been updated and now it has clear guidance what to do for memory upgrade instructions. Click on Memory Upgrade Instructions and locate your mac. I am running an iMac 24&#8243; ...]]></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>

During the vCenter installation there is an option to choose a &#8220;Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express&#8221; instance for small scale deployments. I have installed the local SQL engine on my vCenter virtual machine and now I want to migrate this database to a central SQL server. There are several ways to do that and this is how I migrated my VIM_VCDB from the local SQL instance to my central server. How to backup a &#8220;small scale&#8221; VMWare vCenter deployment database? Open a command prompt with elevated permissions (I am working from a Windows Server 2008 R2 server) and type the following command: This command will connect to the local SQL Server 2005 Express edition installation  and use the named instance of SQLEXP_VIM. Backup database will create a backup file called  VIM.bak of the VIM_VCDB running on the local sql database engine. I copied the VIM.bak file and used the Microsoft SQL Server Management Tools to restore the database, added the Computer account the the SQL Server security and assigned db ownership. I opened ODBC and changed the System DSN to the central sql server. Restarted the VMware VirtualCenter Server service and everything was up and running again. Make sure to uninstall the local SQL server instance from Add/Remove progams.]]></description>

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.

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[Solution Definition PDFCreator is a free tool to create PDF files from nearly every application. To distrbute this PDF Creator I used the following script recipe. Before I started I used the SAVEINF command line parameter to record my setup options. Requirements Download http://www.pdfforge.org/download Script PDFCreator-1_2_0_setup.inf - the setup file provides most defaults but most important setting is Toolbar is set to 0. Otherwise the pdfforge Toolbar will be installed. PDFCreator-1_2_0_setup.cmd - I included the UpdateInterval registry setting for HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive. It is a user setting but with Default User or with GPO preferences you can apply this setting to all users to disable the automatic updates of PDFCreator.

		<description><![CDATA[The following recipe helped me to create a enterprise deployment script to distribute Adobe Flash Player. I will be using this script as task sequence with SCCM server. Basically you could use these command lines to run from any software deployment solution. The deployment will target Windows 7 Enterprise clients. Requirements Download the latest MSI version from Adobe&#8217;s website http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html Ensure you applied for the Adobe Flash Player Distribution License Agreement here. Script I used taskkill to stop all Internet Explorer processes. When killing Internet Explorer please inform your users as their sessions will be closed when this script is running. I also renamed the MSI file to make sure I control the version&#8217;s of the Adobe Flash player sources. Updates After installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player the Automatic Updates setting is set to default meaning every week. Every time a flash file is being opened Flash Player will check the latest version. The automatic updates feature can be disabled from Global Notifications Settings panel which can be accessed from http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html but this is a user setting. I fix this before by customizing the Default User for the Windows 7 image but sometimes the profile becomes corrupt and Adobe Flash update is shown. The make sure the automatic update is disabled for all users an administrator deployed configuration file can be deployed. For Windows 7 I created a new text file stored in C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash and the file needs to be named mms.cfg. After implementing this file I ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Outlook 2011 for Mac and the import feature Most of the time I am using my  Apple iMac sitting in the living room at home. I switched for year and a half to Mac OSX; now and than I need to work with my windows machines because I am missing some features. Couple months ago Microsoft released Office 2011 for Mac. I couldn&#8217;t wait to download this new version. On Microsoft website I am eligible to get this software and soon I did. Microsoft listen to their Mac Office users and implemented a new feature to import the Windows based PST files into new Outlook 2011 version for Mac. The process is simple and today I finally switched my old archives to Mac based PST folder structure. How to import a PST data file from Windows Outlook version into Outlook 2011 for Mac? As you can see I stopped with the archiving in this folder structure in 2006 and I now can read my old email on Outlook 2011 for Mac. Thank you Microsoft! As Mac user I appreciate this feature much.

		<description><![CDATA[One week after we closed 2010, it’s time for me to reflect on the past year of Networknet.nl blogging. It has been a busy year for me and I&#8217;ve had many personal and business initiatives. As much as I wanted to publish my ideas, solutions or problems that I solve I could not find the time and energy to do that. I prefer publishing quality content rather than copy and paste from other sources. Networknet.nl blog may not have my full attention but others did. I wanted to summarize some of them. Personal 2010 was also a year of traveling The new year just begon and I am already sitting at Shanghai airport for the Windows 7 migration in China. I would like to thank you for being here. Almost 200000 of you had visited my blog last year. In  some weeks we will reach 500000 visitors since I started to monitor the traffic back in april 2008. I see various topics being found on google and 82.5% of the page views resulted from a search on google.  For me I would like to focus more on those areas. a) CentOS, b) VMWare, c) Microsoft, d) PowerShell and e) best practices. Top 5 posts On weekly basis I deal with Microsoft and VMWare challenges and issues. I am developing a small knowledge base like posting principle where I describe a solution/problem statement and how I deal with that. Internet is a great place but sometimes difficult to find right source ...]]></description>
