Hi

I'm trying to import an mbn profile with netsh for a mobile broadband connection and have it auto-connect.

The modem is build in to the tablet and registers in windows as a dial-up(wwan), not as a wlan as some USB modems does.

In Windows 7 this was posible with the AutoConnectOnInternet element but this has been deprecated in Windows 8.1.

Windows Dev Center mentions WcmSetProperty but this is in connection with C++ which I have no experions in.

Problem: Attempting to copy files from a mounted network server to an HP Ultrium 6250 tape drive results in Windows security errors and prevents copying from working. It appears to be a mix of internet security settings or permissions related, and nothing changed has worked yet.

Running Windows 8.1, and the drive has simply been mounted via map network drive as the IP of the server \\192.x.x.x with appropriate credentials. The system is able to work with files in every other regard, copy and paste locally, etc. Trying to do the same through the tape drive is the only related "Security error" we've encountered.

This is what happens:

Windows Security

"These files might be harmful to your computer.

Your internet security settings suggest that one or more files might be harmful to your computer. Would you like to continue?"

Clicking OK results in a second warning dialog:

"An unexpected error is preventing you from copying the file. 

0x8007003A: The specified server cannot complete the operation."

Try Again, Skip or Cancel

Clicking anything but cancel will continuously pop the same dialog up for every single file. It starts with .DS_Store files, as some directories were created via OSX, but this shouldn't be a problem in theory. The server is OSX Server running on Yosemite, connections are mostly done via SMB.

After the dialogs, I am unable to proceed. This happens with any file attempted from the server to the HP Ultra 6500 Tape Drive.

Any suggestions or definitive solution would be helpful, as it's been a huge problem for backup and we're running low on space.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

   It seems as if Windows 8.1 has some issues with sharing folders since konica minolta Bizhub Multifunction printer SMB Scan failed.when scan folder shared in the root drive(usually C:) and configured in MFP ,during the  process ,scanned image could be seen in shared folder but after a while it vanished ,and on MFP panel the error appear "deleted due to server error" and in the log file server error indicated.

  Searched the issue in konica minolta website, found out there is an update regarding this and some other issues all in one  update  under the name (KB2887595) for windows 8.1 - x64-based system .

   This update doesn't apply to 32 bit operating system ,so the problem still remains! I don't know of any updates for 32 bit operating systems ,so if someone knows anything in this regard or represent any solution ,that would be appreciated.

 Thanks

Hi All,

I'm having an issue when copying files from a Windows network share. If the file is above 5MB it will start copying and then after a minute or two I will get an error such as:

Interrupted Action

An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.

Error 0x8007003B: An unexpected network error occurred.

The network share is in a different office and is accessible over a point-to-point VPN, so the connection is not that fast. 

But before everyone tells me to start diagnosing the router and or VPN please take note of the following:

• My colleague who is running Windows 7 can copy files from the network share fine
• If I run a Windows 7 VM on my Windows 8.1 laptop I can copy the files across fine

I also know it isn't an issue with this particular file share. I set up a little lab, where I had one VM which had a shared folder and 2 other client VMs one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8.1. I limited the bandwidth to the two client VMs to a similar speed we see across our VPN. The result was that the Windows 8.1 failed with the same error above, whereas the Windows 7 copied fine.

There is also a noticeable difference visually when copying using Windows 8.1 and Windows 7:

• Windows 7 - The progress bar progresses smoothly giving the current speed and estimated time remaining
• Windows 8.1 - The progress bar progresses in a jumpy fashion. E.g. it shows no progress, then after a minute it jumps and shows 16% progress, then shows no further progress, then jumps by another 18%. There is no estimated time remaining.

I ran Wireshark to investigate what was going on at the network layer. I see the following behaviour:

• Windows 8.1 - The file is copying fine then all of a sudden there are a lot of TCP dupack packets. After which the Windows 8.1 client sends a RST packet and then the error pops up.
• Windows 7 - The file is copying fine then you also see a load of TCP dupack packets, however no error is displayed and it continues copying fine.

I'd appreciate any help with this I'm hoping there are some settings I can change to make Windows 8.1 behave more like Windows 7!

Fresh install of Windows Enterprise 8.1

Connected PC to domain, logged in, drive mapping worked as it should.

Rebooted a few times after installing software that I normally install on my computers (from the same sources/locally from my file server, etc).  Rebooted a few more times all is well.

A few reboots later, the only drive that is mapped is X: which is my user drive done via the user profile in AD.  The rest of the mappings that normally show up done by the GPO no longer show up.

After some digging, and noticing no errors in any logs I ran NET USE in a CMD prompt window, low and behold the drives are actually mapped and I can access them via the CLI without issue.  I can navigate via their mapped drive letters, etc.

They just don't show up in Windows Explorer at all and I cannot navigate to the drive letters via the address bar.  Strangely enough, it still kinda works since the Downloads start menu item is mapped to a network drive and that still works (Q:\) and Chrome can access it as well if I try to download something.

I'm really not sure what else to check/try here. 

Have other Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines (my laptop) and all works just fine, so it's only this specific install on my desktop that is showing this issue.

I am working with winpe 3.0.

i want to play audio in winpe environment.

can anybody please tell how to enable audio in winpe??

Using Windows 8.1 Enterprise and logging in as the Domain Administrator I get the error " Store can't be opened using the Built-in Administrator account. Sign in with a different account and try again"

Normally I wouldn't use the Domain Admin account but it is the only account that will allow me to map network drives to a Windows 2012 R2 server.  But that's another issue.

READ THE WHOLE POST.

I asked this question in another part of the site and was instead told to ask it here, so here I am.

I am not posting this in the 360 section because the issue is not with my Xbox, it is with my computer. I am going to explain this so that I do not get people trying to tell me to do what I have already done and tried.

Now, my problem is that I do not have internet. No router, not modem, no internet provider. I am using mobile hotspot for my internet (and my data plan is fast enough for online play, trust me). The issue with this is that connecting an Xbox 360 to my hotspot allows access to internet for downloads, updates, shopping, etc etc. BUT you can't open ports. To do this, you must instead connect the Xbox to your computer (Acer Aspire laptop running Windows 8.1 in my case) and do some tedious work regarding ICS. I have that connected. My issue is that I can't get port 80 working. I have it connected, the first day I had tried this, the Xbox wouldn't even connect to the ip because the laptop and the Xbox both would not get the ip to work, even when I entered it manually, I got it working since though. I got all the ports open before, ready for the Xbox.

Now, the second day and today, I attempted again, the xbox and PC both worked out an ip and now it connects to the network properly, but I had to set up the ports again, every time I try to set port 80, I get a pop up telling me it was already being used. I have already dealt with obstacles like "Process not responding in a timely manner" which I dealt with via the registry editor, and other various problems. But I am this close to finally getting my NAT open and port 80 is not working.

I had port 80 working perfectly on the first day, but the second day I deleted the port forwarder settings because they were a mess, and immediately after that I had a program that latched onto Port 80 and wouldn't allow me to use it, since then I have had many programs latching onto it. I read a fix that involved changing a the HTTPS so it would listen to another port, that did nothing. Another that involved finding the PID of whatever was using the port, this only works so much. I have a MEGAsync program that latched onto it, after that my Window Explorer system file latched onto it. Then my system tools program. Today it was Firefox, and a couple other programs that I could easily remove from it. But whenever I look at the port in the command prompt, there are multiple ip addresses using it, and it always says TIME_WAIT or ESTABLISHED. The established programs are programs on my computer, but the TIME_WAIT links are all external via the internet.

Every fix I found to try and isolate port 80 for whatever I want to use it for has failed. I had blocked it via the firewall and attempted to route it into the location I wanted. I had attempted the PID fix several times, I had shut the port down completely for a minute before just reactivating it because NONE OF THESE WORKED.

I want to unbind everything off of my port 80 so I can forward it to my Xbox again like I could two days ago. Because that is the only thing keeping my NAT settings strict. And no matter how I try to word it, there has been no way to fix this and Google has yielded no results. No matter what I do, there is always something using Port 80. But if I disconnect from the internet, I can't place port 80, if I temporarily disable my connection so I can change the properties of my connection to my phone, it tells me that port 80 is still being used by something else despite the lack of internet. 

Not a single fix I have found has worked. My gold membership is whittling away while I'm trying to get some sort of functionality out of my current means, so please help me with this. And NO, the problem is not my Xbox, the problem is not my phone, the problem is my computer or something on my computer. I just want to free port 80 so I can forward it, but there is always something latched onto it for some reason.

Now, on more of an update to this, I found out that while I was checking the settings for my WiFi in the ICS settings on my computer that there was a Web Server (HTTP) setting there that was using Port 80. I don't think that had even been set to port 80 before because as I had said prior, I had Port 80 working at one point. So I'm also wondering if there might be a way to change this port because I am having issues with that. Otherwise would a Proxy server help? Or am I just grasping at straws here.

A few years ago I discovered how redirected user profile folders in Windows get Recycle Bin protection, even when the folders are redirected to a network location. This was a huge find for me, and I used this feature to add Recycle Bin coverage to some of my mapped network drives. I shared this information on another forum here:

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/16974-Tip-Network-Recycle-bin

Today I figured out a better way to achieve the same goal that doesn't rely on user profile folder redirection, and am sharing that information for other users to try out. You might want to take a look at these forum topics for additional information:

• http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787939(v=ws.10).aspx
• http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2012/07/16/managing-the-recycle-bin-with-redirected-folders-with-vista-or-windows-7.aspx
• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb882665.aspx
• http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/10bfcfb9-14f3-434e-9ffa-0289b8b32e01/folder-redirection-recycle-bin

The standard disclaimer applies - this might break stuff. I've only tested in Windows 8, and my testing is limited. Try this at your own risk.

This is what I've learned (or think I've learned - I might be wrong):

• Windows Vista and later store the configuration settings for the Recycle Bin for redirected user profile folders in this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder
• Under this key are separate keys for each redirected folder that is protected by the Recycle Bin. The keys contain the configuration information for each protected folder, and are named to match the GUIDs for "Known Folders." A list of the Known Folder to GUID mappings is available in one of the links above.
• The registry also contains a list of "known folders" at this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions

So, I reasoned that if I could create my own custom "known folder," I could add that to the list of folders that were protected by the Recycle Bin and protect any mapped network drive I wanted. So I looked at the list of existing "known folders" and created a key that was similar to the Documents key. I then fiddled with the values in the key until I narrowed it down to the minimum number needed to make the recycle bin work.

This .reg file will protect a mapped X: drive with a ~50GB recycle bin. You should modify the file to fit your needs:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
"RelativePath"="X:\\""Category"=dword:00000004"Name"="XDrive"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
"MaxCapacity"=dword:0000c7eb"NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000000

A few things of note:

• The GUID in the above .reg file {9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF} came from this PowerShell command: "{"+[guid]::NewGUID().ToString().ToUpper()+"}"
• Each "known folder"/Recycle Bin combination requires a unique GUID. If you don't want to use PowerShell to generate a GUID, you can use an online GUID generator.
• I don't know what the "Category" value does, but the key I copied had it set to 4, and that works, so I didn't test any other values.
• The "Name" value is required, but is not the name that will be shown if you right-click on the Recycle Bin and select properties. (At least not in my environment.) In my environment, the name that is shown is the name of the network drive.
• Making this change adds a "Location" tab to the properties page of your mapped network drives. I suspect this could be removed by changing the "Category" value, but didn't bother to find out.
• I only tested with mapped network drives. I suspect this would work with UNC paths as well, but I didn't bother testing.

I hope you're as excited to find this as I was to figure it out. Let me know if this works for you. I now plan to deploy the registry keys with Group Policy Preferences and will update this forum post with any information I discover.

Best regards

--Russel

Update: I am now using Group Policy Preferences to deploy the needed registry keys, and all my mapped network drives are now protected by the recycle bin.

Update 2: I have tested now with UNC paths, and this works fine. I still use mapped network drives, but if your environment requires UNC paths instead, you can use them. Note however that if you have a mapped network drive that points to a UNC path, and you protect the UNC path with a registry change, if a user deletes a file from the mapped network drive that points to that UNC path, the file will be permanently deleted. See below for more details.

Hello,

I have a problem to remove users and domain groups of the local group Administrators of Windows 8.

Before, my domain had trust relationship with other domain, but now, this relation was removed. And now, some groups of the my domain are with name of the other domain included in it when I see in User manager of Windows. for example:


Members of Local Group Administrator:

Administrator, Domain Admins, Support Group and Contoso Group (this is the example).

The Contoso Group is showed as Domain\Contoso Group (Old_Domain\Contoso Group).

In this way I can't to remove this group by command line because the sintax is not correct. 

If I type only:

net localgroup administrators Domain\Contoso Group /delete

The member Contoso Group is not found.

If I type:

net localgroup administrators Domain\Contoso Group (Old_Domain\Contoso Group) /delete

It is not found too.


Therefore, I need to know where the informations about user and groupos are stored on Windows Registry. If I to find I will remove this members by Windows Registry. I have a script running in the network and I will add this informations to remove the unwanted members of local group administrators.Hello,

Hi,

I get the same problem as with windows 7 with offline files. A grey "X" on some user home drives (even on one desktop). I know how to fix with the formatdatabase registry entry however I would like to know the cause and is there a domian fix \ GPO script to fix. Is the registry fix deleting the cache - if so a GPO will actually delete all offline files in order to force the fix.

The solution in the windows 7 forum work for winows 8.1 not sure why this was not fix in the OS!?

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks Rick.

Hi Team ,

we are facing issues with WiFi connectivity with Windows 8.1 , Below are the issues :

1.       It’s taking long time to connect the Wi-Fi SSID and giving error “this is taking long time than usual “

1.             Wi-Fi  disconnects automatically or showing limited connectivity

we are currently using the latest driver 18.11.0.8 but still we are facing this issue .

appreciate your help in resolving this issue

We have an older snap server on our network. It uses Snap OS, which appears not to be supported anymore. All of our XP machines can access it, for Windows 7 we use a small technical but this technical doesn't work on Windows 8. When I try to access the share, I get prompted for my credentials, which I enter. I'm using my domain account, which has full access to the share. The credentials are not accepted.

I can acces the snap server through the browser to administer it. I just can't get to the share through Windows Explorer. Any ideas?

My computer is connected to a workgroup network, and I want to grant certain permissions to a user in other machine connected to the same workgroup, so I did the following: right clicked the folder> properties> Security-tab> edit> add user (using add button), then the “Select Users or Groups” window appeared (shown in the first screenshot).

In the locations menu, I can only choose my local machine. However, I want to add a user from other machines in this workgroup (shown in the second screenshot). How can I add another machine to add its users?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Hello so I have this situation regarding my windows 8.1 machine and how it connects to my Windows Server 2012 machine.

I have my Windows server machine directly connected to the internet on one ethernet port and the other is on a 192.168.1.0 private network.  

My windows 8.1 Machine is also on this private network(192.168.1.0) and whenever I attempt to take files from my Windows server machine using its Local ip address it begins a connection from the Windows Server 2012 machines WAN IP to the local even though the established connection happened via file sharing by direct network ip address. This connection uses up all the throughput from my router causing every machine on the network to experience lag online.

I also have Windows 7 machines and this issue does not occur when taking files from the server machine as it does it through LAN.

I don't understand how the Windows 8.1 machine can even know my Server 2012 machines IP address or why its deciding to do these file transfers over the internet rather then LAN. 

Here's an example since its a very difficult issue to explain.

I have a Private network (192.168.1.0) this network reaches the internet from WAN 1.1.1.2. 

In this network I have machines Windows 8.1 (192.168.1.8) and Windows server 2012 (192.168.1.12)

I have a Windows Server 2012 Machine which reaches the internet directly from WAN 1.1.1.3. This machine has another nic located on the private network as stated above(192.168.1.12).

When I use explorer on the windows 8.1 and use netstat -s it shows a connection

192.168.1.8 -> 192.168.1.12 on port 445

When I take a file and copy it to my desktop and use Netstat -s it shows connections

192.168.1.8 -> 192.168.1.12 on port 445 and

192.168.1.8 -> 1.1.1.3 on Port 445. (This connection does not happen in Windows 7).

Hopefully this makes it clearer.

Thanks,

Martin

I thought I had configured the system to be part of a workgroup and was able to see other computers on the LAN.  Now I cannot see them.  I have a mapped network drive and that still works but when I click on Network from Explorer I only see the local machine.

If I go to the Network and Sharing Center under View your active netwoks it has

Network                                       Access Type: Internet
Private network                          HomeGroup: Ready to create
                                                    Connections: Ethernet

I cannot delete the Private network.

I can access the internet. 

If I go to Map Network and type in \\<computer name>\ and press Browse... I will see the computer listed and can select a share.

Control Panel --> System has my Workgroup listed.

Advanced sharing settings/Private
Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices. Checked
Turn on file and printer sharing. Checked
Use User accounts and passwords to connec to other computers. Checked

I do not want to create a HomeGroup -- I just want to be able to access the LAN and see the machines on it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

to everyone who gets unwanted tap adapters I found out how to stop it!

so problem is that two unwanted network drivers install itself each reboot..

to fix!

go to device manager uninstall, wow fixed.. just kidding you know itl install again on reboot..

so in computer management go to task scheduler library find what it is that the trigger is that runs at start up.

read more about it because you wouldn't want to disable the wrong thing...

then restart couple times the network adapter should be gone.

I did this just now and worked for me.

was searching online for a while and couldn't find a solution.

hope this helps anyone else!

Hello,


When I want to save a pdf via the app from Windows 8.1,you canchoose a DFS network share mounted asdrive letter but the folders arenot visible below. When I connectthe driveletter as an unc pathdirectly to the server, you can see'em.

Because we work with DFS shares this is quite an issue.

Is there a solution for this?
