Update 9/9/2014
Warren here yet again to update this blog to tell you that the GP to control the Store icon pin has shipped in the August 2014 update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2975719/. If you want to control the Store icon pinned to the taskbar be sure to install the August 2014 update on all the targeted machines.
You can now have the Store disabled and the Store Icon removed via GP, or leave the Store enabled but remove the Store Icon pinned to the taskbar if that is what you need. The previous behavior of preventing the Store icon from being pinned during installation of Update 1 if the Store is disabled via GP remains unchanged.
The new GP is named: "Do not allow pinning Store app to the Taskbar"
The full path to the new GP is: "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Do not allow pinning Store app to the Taskbar"
Explain text for this GP:
This policy setting allows you to control pinning the Store app to the Taskbar If you enable this policy setting, users cannot pin the Store app to the Taskbar. If the Store app is already pinned to the Taskbar, it will be removed from the Taskbar on next login If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can pin the Store app to the Taskbar
This policy setting allows you to control pinning the Store app to the Taskbar
If you enable this policy setting, users cannot pin the Store app to the Taskbar. If the Store app is already pinned to the Taskbar, it will be removed from the Taskbar on next login
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can pin the Store app to the Taskbar
Thanks to everyone for their feedback on this issue and their patience while we developed and shipped the fix.
Update 7/14/2014
Warren here with an update on the Store icon issue. Good News! Your feedback has been heard, understood and acted upon. A fix is in the works that will address the scenarios below:
Scenario 1 - You want to block the Store but have enabled the GP to block the Store after applying Windows 8.1 Update. A fix will be made to the GP, such that it will remove the Store Icon pin if the "disable Store" GP is already set.
Scenario 2 - You want to provide access to the Store but want to remove the Store icon pin from the taskbar. A GP will be provided that can manage the Store icon pin.
Thanks for all of your feedback on this issue!
Warren here, posting with more news regarding the Windows 8.1 Update. Among the many features added by Windows 8.1 Update is that the Store icon will be pinned to the users taskbar when users first logon after updating their PC with Windows 8.1 Update.
Some companies will not want the Store icon pinned to the taskbar on company owned devices. There are currently two Group Policy options to control the Store tile pin - one that you can use before deploying the update that will prevent the Store app from being pinned to the Taskbar, and another that you can use after the update has been deployed and the Store app has been pinned to the Taskbar.
As mentioned earlier, the Store Icon is pinned to the Taskbar at first logon after Windows 8.1 Update is applied. The Store application will not be pinned to the taskbar if the Group Policy "Turn off the Store application" is applied to computer. This option is not retroactive. The Group Policy must be applied to the workstation before the update is applied. The full path to this Group Policy is:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\Turn off the Store application
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\Turn off the Store application
You can use either Group Policy. As the name of the policy indicates, this will completely disable the Store. If your desire is to allow access to the Store but do not want the Store tile pinned to the Taskbar see option 2.
Important note: By default the Group Policy setting "Turn off the Store application" will not show up in GPEDIT.MSC or GPMC.MSC if you run the tools on a Windows Server. You have two options: Install the Remote Server Admin Tools (RSAT) tools on a Windows 8.1 client and edit the group policy from that machine or install the Desktop Experience feature on the server used for editing Group Policy. The preferred method is to install the RSAT tools on a workstation. You can download the RSAT tools for Windows 8.1 here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39296
This GP is a big hammer in that it will remove all pined tiles from the task bar and users subject to the policy will not be able to pin any applications or tiles to the Taskbar. This accomplishes the goal of not pinning the Store tile to the taskbar and leaves the Store accessible from Start.
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Removed pinned programs from the Taskbar"
The last available option at this time is to have users unpin the Store app on their systems. Programmatically changing the Taskbar pins is not supported nor encouraged by Microsoft. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378460(VS.85).aspx
Hi! Its Linda Taylor here again from the Directory Services Escalation team in the UK. In this post, I want to tell you – We are hiring in the UK!!
Would you like to join the UK Escalation Team and work on the most technically challenging and interesting Active Directory problems? Do you want to be the next "Ned Pyle"?
Then read more…
We are an Escalation Team based in Microsoft Campus in Reading (UK). We are part of Microsoft Global Business Support and we work with enterprise customers helping them resolve the most critical Active Directory infrastructure problems as well as enabling our customers to get the best of Microsoft Windows and Identity related technologies. The work we do is no ordinary support – we work with a huge variety of customer environments and there are rarely two problems which are the same. We are the experts in our field and we work closely with the product group to help make Windows and all our other technologies better.
You will need strong AD knowledge, great customer services skill, strong troubleshooting skills and great collaboration and team work.
You can find more of the job details here:
UPDATE: The hotfix is now available for this issue! Get it at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2989971
This hotfix applies to Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers and should prevent the specific problem discussed below from occurring.
It's important to note that the symptoms of users and computers not being able to log on can happen for a number of different reasons. Many of the folks in the comments have posted that they have these sorts of issues but don't have Windows Server 2003 domain controllers, for example. If you're still having problems after you have applied the hotfix, please call in a support case so that we can help you get those fixed!
We have been getting quite a few calls lately where Kerberos authentication fails intermittently and users are unable to log on. By itself, that's a type of call that we're used to and we help our customers with all the time. Most experienced AD admins know that this can happen because of broken AD replication, unreachable DCs on your network, or a variety of other environmental issues that all of you likely work hard to avoid as much as possible - because let's face it, the last thing any admin wants is to have users unable to log in – especially intermittently.
Anyway, we've been getting more calls than normal about this lately, and that led us to take a closer look at what was going on. What we found is that there's a problem that can manifest when you have Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers serving the same domain. Since many of you are trying very hard to get rid of your last Windows Server 2003 domain controllers, you might be running into this. In the case of the customers that called us, the login issues were actually preventing them from being able to complete their migration to Windows Server 2012 R2.
We want all of our customers to be running their Active Directory on the latest supported OS version, which is frankly a lot more scalable, robust, and powerful than Windows Server 2003. We realize that upgrading an enterprise environment is not easy, and much less so when your users start to have problem during your upgrade. So we're just going to come out and say it right up front:
We are working on a hotfix for this issue, but it's going to take us some time to get it out to you. In the meantime, here are some details about the problem and what you can do right now.
Symptoms include:
1. When any domain user tries to log on to their computer, the logon may fail with "unknown username or bad password". Only local logons are successful.
If you look in the system event log, you may notice Kerberos event IDs 4 that look like this:
Event ID: 4Source: KerberosType: Error"The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/myserver.domain.com. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the Kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (domain.com), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator."
2. Operating Systems on which the issue has been seen: Windows 7, WS2008 R2, WS2012 R2
3. This can affect Clients and Servers(including Domain Controllers)
4. This problem specifically occurs after the affected machine has changed its password. It can vary from a few minutes to a few hours post the change before the symptoms manifest.
So, if you suspect you have a machine with this issue, check when it last changed its password and whether this was around the time when the issue started.
This can be done using repadmin /showobjmeta command.
Repadmin /showobjmeta * "CN=mem01,OU=Workstations,,DC=contoso,DC=com"
This command will get the object metadata for mem01 server from all DC's.
In the output check the pwdlastSet attribute and see if the timestamp is around the time you started to see the problem on this machine.
Why this happens:
The Kerberos client depends on a "salt" from the KDC in order to create the AES keys on the client side. These AES keys are used to hash the password that the user enters on the client, and protect it in transit over the wire so that it can't be intercepted and decrypted. The "salt" refers to information that is fed into the algorithm used to generate the keys, so that the KDC is able to verify the password hash and issue tickets to the user.
When a Windows 2012 R2 DC is promoted in an environment where Windows 2003 DCs are present, there is a mismatch in the encryption types that are supported on the KDCs and used for salting. Windows Server 2003 DCs do not support AES and Windows Server 2012 R2 DCs don't support DES for salting.
You might be wondering why these encryption types matter. As computer hardware gets more powerful, older encryption methods become easier and easier to break. Thus, we are constantly incorporating newer, more powerful encryption into Windows and Kerberos in order to help protect your user passwords (and your data and your network).
If users are having the problem:
Restart the computer that is experiencing the issue. This recreates the AES key as the client machine or member server reaches out to the KDC for Salt. Usually, this will fix the issue temporarily. (at least until the next password change).
To prevent this from happening, please apply the hotfix to all Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controllers in the environment.
How to prevent this from happening:
Option 1: Query against Active Directory the list of computers which are about to change their machine account password and proactively reset their password against a Windows Server 2012 R2 DC and follow that by a reboot.
There's an advantage to doing it this way: since you are not disabling any encryption type and keeping things set at the default, you shouldn't run into any other authentication related issue as long as the machine account password is reset successfully.
Unfortunately, doing this will mean a reboot of machines that are about to change their passwords, so plan on doing this during non-business hours when you can safely reboot workstations.
We've created a quick PowerShell script that you can run to do this.
Sample PS script:
> Import-module ActiveDirectory
> Get-adcomputer -filter * -properties PasswordLastSet | export-csv machines.csv
This will get you the list of machines and the dates they last set their password. By default machines will reset their password every 30 days. Open the created csv file in excel and identify the machines that last set their password 28 or 29 days prior (If you see a lot of machines that have dates well beyond the 30 days, it is likely these machines are no longer active).
Reset Password:
Once you have identified the machines that are most likely to hit the issue in the next couple of days, proactively reset their password by running the below command on those machines. You can use tools such as psexec, system center or other utilities that allow you to remotely execute the command instead of logging in interactively to each machine.
nltest /SC_CHANGE_PWD:<DomainName> /SERVER:<Target Machine>
Then reboot.
Option 2: Disable machine password change or increase duration to 120 days.
You should not run into this issue at all if password change is disabled. Normally we don't recommend doing this since machine account passwords are a core part of your network security and should be changed regularly. However because it's an easy workaround, the best mitigation right now is to set it to 120 days. That way you buy time while you wait for the hotfix.
If you go with this approach, make sure you set your machine account password duration back to normal after you've applied the hotfix that we're working on.
Here's the relevant Group Policy settings to use for this option:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Polices\Security Options
Domain Member: Maximum machine account password age:
Domain Member: Disable machine account password changes:
Option 3: Disable AES in the environment by modifying Supported Encryption Types for Kerberos using Group Policy. This tells your domain controllers to use RC4-HMAC as the encryption algorithm, which is supported in both Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
You may have heard that we had a security advisory recently to disable RC4 in TLS. Such attacks don't apply to Kerberos authentication, but there is ongoing research in RC4 which is why new features such as Protected Users do not support RC4. Deploying this option on a domain computer will make it impossible for Protected Users to sign on, so be sure to remove the Group Policy once the Windows Server 2003 DCs are retired.
The advantage to doing this is that once the policy is applied consistently, you don't need to chase individual workstations. However, you'll still have to reset machine account passwords and reboot computers to make sure they have new RC4-HMAC keys stored in Active Directory.
You should also make sure that the hotfix https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2768494 is in place on all of your Windows 7 clients and Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers, otherwise they may have other issues.
Remember if you take this option, then after the hotfix for this particular issue is released and applied on Windows Server 2012 R2 KDCs, you will need to modify it again in order to re-enable AES in the domain. The policy needs to be changed again and all the machines will require reboot.
Here are the relevant group policy settings for this option:
Network Security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos:
Be sure to check: RC4_HMAC_MD5
If you have unix/linux clients that use keytab files that were configured with DES enable: DES_CBC_CRC, DES_CBC_MD5
Make sure that AES128_HMAC_SHA1, and AES256_HMAC_SH1 are NOT Checked
Finally, if you are experiencing this issue please revisit this blog regularly for updates on the fix.

Hi All!
My name is Saurabh Koshta and I am with the Core Team at Microsoft. Currently I work in the client space so supporting all aspects of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 is my primary role.
We very often get calls from customers who are evaluating Windows 8/Windows 8.1 for deployment, but are concerned about some of the changes in the UI that may confuse their users. A typical concern we hear is that users are used to having shortcuts on the desktop for Computer, Documents, and Network. So, I wanted to take a minute to show you how you can easily add those shortcuts (or others) to desktops using Group Policy Preferences.
I have an OU in my domain called "Domain Computers", which has Windows 8 machines.
The next step is to create a policy and link in to the "Domain Computers" OU. In this case it is called "Shortcut"
Edit the policy and go to the following location:
Computer Configuration -- > Preferences -- > Windows Settings -- > Shortcuts
Highlight Shortcuts and on the right pane, right click and select new Shortcut
In the 'New Shortcut Properties', make the following changes so the values look like below:
1. Action : Update
2. Target type : Shell Object
3. Location : All Users Desktop
4. For Target object, click on the browse option and then chose 'Computer'
5. Name : My Computer
Leave rest of the options as default. Once you have made all the changes, it would look like below:
Similarly for Network the options are:
4. For Target object, click on the browse option and then chose 'Network'
5. Name : My Network Places
And for Libraries the options are:
4. For Target object, click on the browse option and then chose 'Libraries'
5. Name : My Documents
So we have the following three shortcuts
Restart the client and once logged in with a domain user, the desktop would have the three shortcuts as listed above and it would look something like below:
The above steps also work with Windows 8.1. Here is how it looks:
Hope you all find this information useful.

Hi, David here. Over the past year we've gotten a lot of feedback from our customers about the pain of changing from older versions of Windows over to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. While it's a great OS with a lot of compelling features, it's a big change – and as any desktop administrator will tell you, change is a really scary thing for users who just want to be able to log in and get their work done every day. Well, we listened, and in the update we're releasing this week, we've made it easier for you to help manage the change for your users and make the transition to Windows 8.1 a little more friendly for them. Below is some awesome information courtesy of the inestimable Warren Williams.
First, a quick history lesson. Don't worry, there's not a quiz at the end.
Starting with Windows 8.0 Start is the main application launch pad in Windows. Start replaces the Start Menu used in previous versions of Windows going back to Windows 95.
With each update of Windows 8.0, more control over Start's configuration has been added.
The Start Menu was removed from Windows and replaced by Start. The default behavior in Windows 8.0 is that users always boot to Start. There was no Microsoft supported method of controlling the boot to Start behavior in Windows 8.0.
In Windows 8.1 Microsoft added the ability for users and administrators to control what environment would be displayed when the user logged on. The user can either boot to the Start screen or the Desktop. The behavior was still to always boot to the Start screen however the behavior could be controlled manually with a setting in the Taskbar Navigation properties. Administrators could use a new a Group Policy "Go to the desktop instead of Start when signing in" to specify what environment the user would see after signing in.
Everyone got that? Ok, let's talk about the new stuff now.
In Windows 8.1 Update Microsoft added the ability for the OS to perform device type detection. After applying Windows 8.1.update Tablet devices will boot to the Start Screen and have modern application file associations. All other device types boot to the desktop and the desktop application file associations. The two preceding behaviors occur if the default setting for Taskbar Navigation properties have not changed. Some things to note:
Device type detection in Windows 8.1 Update is accomplished by querying the value of Power_Platform_Role and taking action based on the value set. The value for Power_Platform_Role is set by the manufacturer of the device and cannot be changed. If the value for Power_Platfor_Role is set to a value of 8 the user will sign in to Start. Any value other than 8 will cause the user to sign in to the desktop, instead of the Start Screen.
The possible values for Power_Platform_Role are:
Table 1Power_Platform_Role Values
See this MSDN page for more information: "POWER_PLATFORM_ROLE enumeration"
Run the following command at elevated cmd prompt
Powercfg /energyreport
At the top of the report look for Platform role field
To change the default behavior using Unattend.xml see the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup | DesktopOptimization | GoToDesktopOnSignIn
It is possible for a tablet device to boot to the Desktop if the tablet's Power_Platform_Role was set to a value other than 8 by the manufacturer. Windows does not set the value of Power_Platform_Role nor can the value be changed. The value is set by the device manufacturer in the BIOS and is read by Windows at boot time and stored in WMI.
See: "POWER_PLATFORM_ROLE enumeration" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373174(v=vs.85).aspx
Fortunately, you can change the behavior without having to be an OEM.
To manually change the environment that the user logs on to perform the following steps
1. Open the desktop
2. Right click on the taskbar and select properties
3. Select the "Navigation" tab
a. If you want the Start Screen to load when a user logs on uncheck the box "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start"
b. If you want the Desktop to load when a user logs on check the box "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start"
Figure 4Taskbar Navigation Properties
A Domain Administrator can use Group Policy to control the Boot to desktop behavior on many machines from a centralized location. If Group Policy is used to control this setting the user will not be able to change the Boot to desktop behavior. If an administrator wants users to be able to set the desired behavior they should set the default behavior in their image. The Group Policy is located in the this path
"User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Go to the desktop instead of Start when signing in"
Description of this Group Policy
"This policy setting allows users to go to the desktop instead of the Start screen when they sign in.
If you enable this policy setting, users will always go to the desktop when they sign in.
If you disable this policy setting, users will always go to the Start screen when they sign in.
If you don't configure this policy setting, the default setting for the user's device will be used, and the user can choose to change it."
Figure 5Group Policy to control "Go to desktop instead of Start" behavior
Deployment Admins can specify if the user go to Start or the desktop after signing in using the DesktopOptimization tag in their unattend.xml file. This method allows admins to specify a default behavior and still allow users the ability to set their preferred Sign in environment.
For more information consult the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) helpfile. The ADK can be downloaded from here. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Hopefully this information helps all of you out there with giving your users a better experience on Windows 8.1.

Hi everyone, David here. Today over at the Springboard series blog we announced some important news that applies to anyone who has been trying to roll out the Windows 8.1 update in an enterprise environment. We don't usually do announcements about things being covered by other Microsoft blogs, but this one addresses something we've gotten a lot of questions about.
If you haven't read the blog, here's the super-short version:
- We have a fix for the Windows Update problem that prevents organizations from using WSUS to deploy the Windows 8.1 Update.
- We'll be issuing security updates for Windows 8.1 (without the update) in the catalog until August, instead of stopping next month as originally announced. This gives enterprises more time to test the feature changes in the Windows 8.1 Update and deploy them, without having to worry about not getting critical security updates.
Click here to read the full announcement.
So, we've been quiet for a few months, which is extraordinarily embarrassing after I basically told everyone that we were going to not do that. The reality of what we do in support is that sometimes it's "All Hands on Deck", which is where we've been lately.
At any rate, here's some assorted news, updates, and announcements. Today we're going to talk about ADMT, SHA-1, Folder Redirection, Roaming Profiles, STOP errors, and job opportunites. Yup, all in one big post. It's not quite a mail sack but hopefully you all will find it interesting and or useful – especially the bit at the end. We'll try to get the regular posts moving again asap as we get into 2014.
ADMT OS Emancipation
Update coming to allow you to install on any supported server OS version
News just in: There's an updated version of ADMT on the way that will allow you to install on newer OS versions. Here's what we got from the ADMT product team:
In short, the update will allow ADMT to install on our newer OSs (both the ADMT and PES components). This should help alleviate some of the problems that customers have been reporting with the tool. We know that there are many of you who would like to see improvements or additional features in the tool beyond this, but we made the decision to focus this update on the OS compatibility issues, since that's the thing that is impacting migrations the most right now. We currently do not have any plans for further updates after this one (beyond bug fixes).
The changes we have made require a fair bit of testing before we can release them – among other things, we have to test full-scale migrations against each combination of OS versions to make sure that nothing unexpected occurs. Once that testing is complete, we'll publish the new version for public download, probably as an update to the existing 3.2 version. We don't have an exact date right now, since it's likely to take us a few months to finish our testing, but we're hoping to have it out and available in the first quarter of 2014.
Update: The new version of the tool is available via the Connect site located here. To get it, you will have to log in with a Microsoft account and join the Azure AD Connection program. (This is just the name of the program, you don't actually have to be using Windows Azure Active Directory or anything like that).
Out with the old (and the insecure)
We've announced the deprecation of SHA-1 algorithms
This one comes to us from former AskDS writer Mike Stephens. Mike changed roles last summer, and most of what he works on these days we can't talk about – but some things we can:
Some of you may remember this security advisory where we announced the deprecation of RC4-based cryptographic algorithms. Some of you may also remember this blog post from a few months ago where we talked about the upcoming deprecation of MD5-based algorithms.
Deprecation is a fancy word for "we don't support it anymore moving forward, so you should look at turning it off."
If you're sensing a trend here, you're not wrong. We just announced yesterday that we are planning the deprecation of SHA-1 algorithms.
This means that moving forward, the minimum security you want on anything cryptographic is SHA-2 with a 2048-bit key. Those of you running certificate authorities should start planning on transitioning to stronger keys as soon as you can. Those you who have server or web applications in your environment (pretty much everyone) should start reviewing your applications to find any applications that are using weak certificates. Update them if you can, contact the application vendor if you can't.
Just like the previous updates, we're not going to issue a hotfix that turns off SHA-1 on all your servers and workstations. We know that there are lots of older applications out there that might need to be updated before your environments are ready for this kind of change so you are in control. What we will do is give you a KB article that tells you how to turn SHA-1 off when you're ready. That, and we'll turn it off by default in the next version of the OS.
That being said, two notes of caution. First, make sure you really, really check before disabling support for older cryptography algorithms in your environments. We've had a few cases where admins didn't check the certificates their applications were using, and caused an outage with one or more of their applications when they turned off RC4. The point here is to test and verify application dependencies and compatibility before you make a widespread change. Second, have a plan to roll back the change if something you didn't expect breaks. Finally, don't wait to start transitioning your environment to stronger [using] crypto graphic algorithms. The longer your environment is using less secure cryptography, the more vulnerable you are to attacks. You can get ahead of the curve by updating your application requirements now to higher standards, and starting the work to transition your existing apps over to new certificates.
One way, or the other…
Folder Redirection Group Policy doesn't apply to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 clients when you also configure it in System Center
This one comes to us from one of our tech leads, Kapil Chopra. Among many other duties, part of Kapil's role is to watch for trends in the support cases that come into our frontline engineers, so that we can prioritize fixes that are affecting lots of customers.
I had a chance to work on multiple cases where in folder redirection doesn't gets applied on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. So I thought of posting the details to make sure that everyone is aware of the fact and should be able to resolve the issue.
In all the cases that I addressed, we see the below mentioned symptoms on the client:
1. In the RSOP, under the properties of User Configuration, we see that the Folder Redirection settings got applied successfully.
2. Under the RSOP, when we browse to the User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings, we don't see Folder Redirection folder.
3. Under the GPRESULT /v output we see that the folder redirection setting is showing up as N/A.
4. There is no failures reported under the Application / System logs.
5. Group Policy Logging states that the policy is applied as mentioned below:
GPSVC(32c.b6c) 12:55:50:136 ProcessGPOs(User): Processing extension Folder Redirection GPSVC(32c.b6c) 12:55:50:136 ReadStatus: Read Extension's Previous status successfully.

6. Under the folder redirection tracing, it isn't getting past fdeploy.dll into the shell components and is not even attempting to read the fdeploy.ini files.
From the above symptoms, it is pretty evident that there is something that is stopping the Folder Redirection engine from proceeding further. So we went ahead looked into the Folder Redirection operational logs under "Event viewer > Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Folder Redirection > Operational Logs".
Under the Operational logs we found an interesting event which might be causing the problem:
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Folder Redirection/Operational Source: Microsoft-Windows-Folder Redirection Date: 11/4/2013 11:54:58 AM Event ID: 1012 Task Category: None Level: Information User: SYSTEM Computer: WIN8TEST.contoso.com Description: Folder Redirection configuration is being controlled by WMI configuration class Win32_FolderRedirectionUserConfiguration.
In order to confirm if it's only the Folder Redirection or other components as well getting controlled by WMI, we ran the powershell command "gwmi Win32_UserStateConfigurationControls" and found that all components i.e. Folder Redirection / Offline Files / Roaming User Profiles were controlled by WMI. =================================================== __GENUS : 2 __CLASS : Win32_UserStateConfigurationControls __SUPERCLASS : __DYNASTY : Win32_UserStateConfigurationControls __RELPATH : Win32_UserStateConfigurationControls=@ __PROPERTY_COUNT : 3 __DERIVATION : {} __SERVER : WIN8TEST __NAMESPACE : root\cimv2 __PATH : \\WIN8TEST\root\cimv2:Win32_UserStateConfigurationControls=@ FolderRedirection : 1 OfflineFiles : 1 RoamingUserProfile : 1 PSComputerName : WIN8TEST ===================================================
Now the question is, what this WMI Class "Win32_FolderRedirectionUserConfiguration" has to do with Folder redirection?
In order to answer that, everyone should be aware of the fact that with Windows 8 we have introduced new WMI classes to manage and query Folder Redirection and Remote User Profiles configuration using WMI controls. These WMI classes are mentioned below:
The redirection properties of a known folder
The health of a known folder that is being redirected
The health configuration properties for a known folder that is being redirected
The user's folder redirection configuration settings
Represents a roaming profile background upload operation
The roaming profile configuration for a computer
The slow-link parameters for roaming profiles
Represents a roaming profile user configuration
Represents health configuration properties for all roaming user profiles on a computer
Represents a user profile
Contains properties that control the user state configuration for a computer. The property value settings for this class determine whether Group Policy or WMI should be the configuration mechanism for user state components.
So, the big question is - who is giving the control on FR/CSC/RUP to WMI? In all the cases that we have dealt with, we found that the machines were deployed and managed using SCCM. So there might be something in the SCCM configuration which is changing the default behavior and passing on the control to WMI. We looked into the System Center Configuration Manager and found the setting which might be causing all the pain. The exact configuration is mentioned below:
Under the SCCM Configuration manager, - Select Administration - Select Client Settings
- Pull up PROPERTIES of Default Client Settings configuration and click on Compliance Settings
- Enable User Data and Profiles mentioned above is the setting which drives the control of Folder Redirection and Remote User Profiles.
The above configuration by Default is set to NO. Once enabled (set to YES), it passes the control of Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and Remote User Profiles to WMI and stores this configuration under the registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UserState\UserStateTechnologies\ConfigurationControls
This is evident from the fact that FolderRedirection, OfflineFiles, and RoamingUserProfiles registry entry mentioned in the above snippet is set to 1.
More details about Managing UserState via System Center Configuration is documented under the articles mentioned below: - How to Create User Data and Profiles Configuration Items in Configuration Manager : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591610.aspx - Example Scenario for User Data and Profiles Management in Configuration Manager : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj870707.aspx
To resolve the issue we need to change the value of "Enable User Data and Profiles" to NO under the Compliance settings in SCCM Configuration.
Another important fact that I need to point out is, changing the value of above registry entries to "0" will resolve the issue for a while on a client but the registry entries will automatically be flipped to 1 once the SCCM configuration client piece gets executed on the Win8 or Win8.1 machines. By default, this configuration runs every hour to pull changes from the System Center Configuration Manager server. So you have to make the change in System Center if you want it to stick.
Most customers don't realize what they are doing when they set this value to YES, so they will want to make sure it is set to NO in their environments. If a customer does want to use it, then they will need to make sure they are managing Folder Redirection through WMI and not through Group Policy or they will run into the problems mentioned above.
Getting Rid of Pesky STOP Errors
Hotfix released to correct a crash in TCP/IP.
Here is a fix you will want to test and then deploy to your servers as soon as you can. For the past few months we have been tracking a large number of cases where servers would crash (blue screen) with a STOP 0xD1 error. We've been tracking this issue for a long time, but we were never able to figure out what exactly caused it because it only happened under specific circumstances on multiprocessor computers It took us so long to figure this out. Those conditions used to be pretty rare but as multiprocessor computers are now the norm, problem frequency has increased. We now have a hotfix for Windows Server 2008 R2 available just in time for the holidays.
Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 versions of the same hotfix are being tested and will be released in January 2014 if the testing pans out.
Making the kids play nice together
Roaming profiles now coexist properly for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 computers.
Some of you may recall a blog post from one of our friends in PFE about problems roaming user profiles between computers running Windows 7 and Windows 8. In the original blog, we presented a workaround that, while it helped, was not really a fix for the issue.
Well, now we have a fix for the issue. Two of them, rather. I'll explain.
To set expectations: Windows 8 uses a new profile format (just like Windows 7 had a new format when compared to XP). Windows 8.1 uses a third (or fourth) new profile format. So, if you want to move data between computers running Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, you will need to use Folder Redirection…. OR you can consider using the cool new feature called Work Folders, which we'll be adding support for Windows 7 in the coming months. But if you don't do one of these things, then the two profiles are separate – no data gets shared between the two OS versions.
KB 2887239 and KB 2890783 allow roaming profiles to "roam" properly even if you're in a mixed OS environment. That means users will be able to log in seamlessly to different devices without having to follow the workaround mentioned in Mark's blog post.
Last, but definitely not least: We're hiring.
I mentioned at the start of this that the last few months for us in DS (and really in all of support) have been "All Hands on Deck". And while things slow down a little over the holidays, we have more work to do than we have hands and minds to do it right now.
So we're hiring. If you're the sort of person who enjoys fixing hard problems, who likes getting into the guts of how software works, and who's not afraid to constantly be asked to learn something new, you really should check out our careers page. There are positions available in Charlotte, NC, in Las Colinas, TX, and in Fargo, ND. And this isn't just for DS – it's for all of our Windows support teams (and others). If you're interested, look for Support Engineer positions and send in your resume.
What we do is possibly the most technically demanding and challenging infrastructure job there is. Every day we work on problems that impact hundreds or thousands of users out there in the world, and some with more impact with that. It's not an *easy* job. But it is a very fulfilling one.
If you're interested in applying, check out these two blog posts we put up a while back, and we'll look forward to talking to you.
Post-Graduate AD Studies
Accelerating Your IT Career
Hello Everyone,
This is Shijo from our team in Bangalore once again. Today I'd like to briefly discuss account lockouts, and some UI behaviors that can trip admins up when dealing with account lockouts.
If you've ever had to troubleshoot an account lockout issue, you might have noticed that sometimes accounts appear to be locked on some domain controllers, but not on others. This can be very confusing since youtypically know that the account has been locked out, but when you inspect individual DCs, they don't reflect that status. This inconsistency happens because of some minor differences in the behavior of the UI between Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012.
Windows Server 2003
In Windows Server 2003 the "Account is locked out" checkbox can be cleared ONLY if the account is locked out on the domain controller you are connected to. This means that if an account has been locked out, but the local DC has not yet replicated that information, you CANNOT unlock the account on the local DC.
Windows 2003 account properties for an unlocked account. Note that the checkbox is grayed out.
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
In Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 the "Unlock account" checkbox will always be available (regardless of the status of the account). You can tell whether the local DC knows if the account is locked out by looking at the label on the checkbox as shown in the screenshots below:
Windows 2008 account properties showing the "Unlock Account" checkbox. Notice that the checkbox is available regardless of the status of the account on the local DC.
Windows 2008 (and higher) Account Properties dialog box showing locked account on this domain controller
If the label on the checkbox is just "Unlock account" then this means that the domain controller you are connected to recognizes the account as unlocked. This does NOT mean that the account is not locked on other DCs, just that the specific DC we're working with has not replicated a lockout status yet. However, unlike Windows Server 2003, if the local DC doesn't realize that the account is locked, you DO have ability to unlock it from this interface by checking the checkbox and applying the change.
We changed the UI behavior in Windows Server 2008 to help administrators in large environments unlock accounts faster when required, instead of having to wait for replication to occur, then unlock the account, and then wait for replication to occur again.
Windows Server 2012
We can also unlock the accounts using the Active Directory Administrative Center (available in Windows Server 2008 R2 and later). In Windows Server 2012, this console is the preferred method of managing accounts in Active Directory. The screen shots are present below about how we can go about doing that.
You can see from the account screenshot that the account is locked which is denoted by the padlock symbol. To unlock the account you would have to click on the "Unlock account" tab and you would see achange in the symbol as can be seen below.
You can also unlock the account using the PowerShell command shown in the screenshot below.
In this example, I have unlocked the user account named test by simply specifying the DN of the account to unlock . You can modify your powershell command to incorporate many more switches, the details of which are present in thefollowing article.
Hopefully this helps explain why the older operating systems behave slightly differently from the newer ones, and will help you the next time you have to deal with an account that is locked out in your environment!

Bell's Pale Ale gets a new name and label; Midwestern Pale Ale begins shipping soon
COMSTOCK, MICH. – Bell's Pale Ale is getting a facelift.
While the label and the name are changing, the recipe will remain basically the same except for one small, yet very significant change.
Midwestern Pale Ale will now be brewed with a small portion of barley from the Bell's Farm in Shepherd, Michigan and will begin shipping in mid-October.
"This is a relatively minor change to the recipe and people won't notice anything different, however its part of a much larger picture," said Laura Bell, Marketing Director for Bell's Brewery, Inc.
It's a deeper connection to the land, to Michigan and its agricultural heritage and to the Midwest, Bell said.
Barley from the Bell's Farm is also used to brew two other beers – Christmas Ale and Harvest Ale (also made with Michigan grown hops).
The new label features an original painting of the Bell's Farm by Kalamazoo artist Conrad Kaufman.

For the Public
For Libraries & Educators
Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
For Archivists and Government Officials
Preservation Services
Archival Preservation Training
Section: Preservation Services
Project Title: Archival Preservation Training
Intern Opportunity: To learn specific details of conservation, identifying types of historic media, its deterioration, and careful handling of archival records of all types. To learn specifics of ways to stabilize the different archival materials with surface cleaning, proper mending techniques, deacidification, custom made housing for all types of books, photographs, oversize documents and many other techniques. To learn the history of photographic techniques and styles of images based on proper preservation.
Time Commitment: This can be an internship project for one intern at a time over several-weeks preferably working a minimum of one day per week. There are specific projects that can be directed to specific educational programs or class work that is dependent on specific number of hours, or just general well rounded volunteer to gain experience in conservation. Library, archival, and preservation educational programs are most welcome.
Examples of Technical Work
* Supreme Court records will always need cleaning and mending, now they need more extensive stabilization treatments as well with heavy use by staff and patrons.
* Maintenance issues: many archival collections and some of the photo collections need new folders or envelopes to be switched out for acid-free or more appropriate preservation storage.
* Glass plate negatives of all collections need cleaning and proper unique folders.
* Book repair of various levels of skill will be needed. Boxes as well depending on skill set of volunteer.
Examples of Non-Technical Work
* Data entry into Access database of rolls of microfilm, resources related to the inventory of the negative microfilm collection.
* Review of some rolls of microfilm that need an index.
* County records mainly loose records that need a basic name index.

The March 29 New York Times reported: "In recent months, there has been an eruption of illegal immigration and related violence in Arizona, and with it has come a realization by federal officials: no matter how many hundreds of thousands of migrants they catch and send back over the border, many will return time and again unless the government finds better ways to keep them out of the country and out of harm's way."
Mexican and U.S. officials have been discussing "a plan to repatriate Mexican border crossers by sending them deep in to their country..." This, said the Times, is similar to a program scrapped in the 1990s. "Though Mexico had resisted the idea in recent years, American officials saw the willingness to reconsider the plan partly as a sign of good will in response to President Bush's recent call for a temporary worker program." But between the lines the Bush administration's proposed "guest worker" policy has made a bad situation worse. To believe otherwise requires vast self-deception.
Border Patrol agents are infuriated since the plan has encouraged more border jumping. On the southwestern border the number of apprehended illegally leaped by 25 percent in the three months since the proposal was made, reported the Washington Times.
Washington, meanwhile, is trying to appease Mexico City which is pushing the border assault. The amnesty scheme fits in perfectly with the broader FTAA agenda of eradicating the borders on the road to hemispheric union.

Frequently asked questions
Astrodienst round > Composite Charts
- Why
does the Astrodienst Composite Chart come out with a different Venus (or Ascendant)
placement to the one I've seen somewhere else?
There are different ways of calculating composite charts. One of these differences concerns Mercury and Venus: some astrologers transpose Mercury and Venus by 180° to the opposite sign, if they come out on "the wrong side of the Sun" in the chart.
We offer both variants. In the chart section of the AstroShop, for type 62, the two planets are always put on the side of the Sun, in chart type 671 and all reports they are not moved but remain where they technically fall.
For the calculation of the Ascendant, see question No. 2 below.
Why does the
Ascendant of the composite chart change by 180° if I change the birth
time of one of the partners?
The Ascendant in a composite chart can be computed in different ways, depending on the technique the astrologer uses.
One cannot look at the Ascendant in an isolated way without considering the position of the MC. We calculate the MC first and go from there. Sometimes a raw calculation of the Ascendant results in an impossible sequence of houses. A change in the birth time of one of the partners may have the same result. This is why the ASC / DESC axis is swapped (by 180°) in such cases.
With midpoints, there is always an axis with a near and a far midpoint for each pair of factors. Both midpoints are nearly equivalent in meaning and can be reversed if needed.
- Is there a way
of setting a composite chart so it can be added to My Astro? I would like
to use it as a 'normal' chart for synastry, astromap etc.?
Unfortunately, there is no such way. A composite chart cannot be used as a 'normal' chart because it isn't one. It does not represent a real constellation of planets but is a mere mathematical construction. This precludes its use in many of the standard astrological techniques.
- Can a composite
chart contradict the synastry chart?
Both views represent quite different perspectives, and of course, they can disagree.
The composite is a third chart, calculated from the two individual horoscopes, and it shows the dynamic of the relationship as a separate (third) entity. The synastry compares the two individual charts and points out what the two people involved "trigger" in each other.
There might be contradictions in relationships, just like individuals are full of contradictions by nature.
You can find more information on synastry and composite charts in the AstroShop. Or read Liz Greene's article on composites.
- What kind of
chart comparison can I do for twins? A composite chart comes out the same
as the natal charts, are there other methods?
The composite chart does not work for twins. The only approach for a relationship chart for twins, which we know that works, is the one by our author Mona Riegger, as used in the report "Horoscope for Two". It can be ordered in the Astro Shop.
Mona's approach makes a distinction between 'the older' and 'the younger', which is always defined with twins, even when born by cesarean section. Then she reverts some elements of the Davison relationship chart for the younger one, getting two distinctive charts that way. She is able to make very interesting deductions about the relationship between the two. Not accidentally, Mona is a mother of twins.

Bischoff: These personal tax matters could see changes in 2013, depending on who wins the White House.
Whatever happens in the election on Nov. 6, the next Congress and president will face a heaping helping of unfinished tax business. Here's the second part of our two-part story on the most important unresolved personal tax issues — along with some fearless predictions.
Child Tax Credit
Starting next year, the maximum credit for each eligible under-age-17 child is scheduled to drop from the current $1,000 to only $500.
Prediction: The current deal will be extended through at least 2013.
Obama outlines his tax plan
President Barack Obama contrasts his tax plan with that of Mitt Romney at the presidential debate in Hempstead, N.Y.
Earned Income Tax Credit
Legislation enacted in previous years increased the earned-income credit for families with three or more qualifying children and allowed married joint-filing couples to earn more without having their credits reduced. These changes, which help lower-income families, are scheduled to expire at year-end.
Prediction: The current more-generous rules will be extended through at least 2013.
Romney discusses tax plan
At the second presidential debate in Hempstead, N.Y., Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney discusses how he would deal with taxes for the middle class.
Child-Care Tax Credit
Under the current rules, most parents can claim a credit of up to $600 for costs to care for one under-age-13 child, or up to $1,200 for costs to care for two or more under-age-13 kids, so the parents can work. Lower-income parents can claim larger credits of up to $1,050 and $2,100, respectively. Next year, the maximum credits are scheduled to drop to $480 and $960 for most parents; $720 and $1,440 for lower-income parents.
Prediction: The current more-generous rules will be extended through at least 2013.
Higher-Education Tax Credit
Next year, the American Opportunity credit, which can be worth up to $2,500 and can be claimed for four years of undergraduate education, is scheduled to be replaced by the less-generous Hope Scholarship credit. The Hope credit is smaller, it can only be claimed for the first two years of college, and it has stricter phaseout rules that can reduce or eliminate the credit as your income goes up.
Prediction: The more-generous American Opportunity credit will be extended through at least 2013.
Higher-Education Tuition Deduction
This write-off, which can amount to as much as $4,000 or $2,000 for higher-income folks, expired at the end of 2011.
Prediction: The deduction will be retroactively restored for 2012 and probably extended through at least 2013.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- A question for ESPN's Rob Parker: "Cornball Brother?" What does that mean?
You admit you want to know more about Robert Griffin III. Why not find out more about the young star, before saying things that imply he might not necessarily be a real brother?
It speaks to a stereotype that says if an African American athlete or man has a spouse or girlfriend of a different race, he is not real.
Robert Griffin III does countless hours of community work with all types of children, from all races.
We don't have a right to define what white, black, Asian or other races look like or sound like.
Jackie Robinson and Colin Powell, eloquent men and heroes, were, to a degree, put under the same scrutiny and criticism. This is bad, lousy and garbage journalism and we should not accept it.
RG3's dad tweeted this to me about the situation: "This gentleman's comments are not for me to expand on I have more important issues, Homeless Veterans etc."

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Before either chicken or egg, an ordinance allowing both must come first.
Helper now has such an ordinance. It permits chickens on owner-occupied property in residential areas, as long as ranchers follow the rules.
The idea approved by the city council Thursday was hatched by the city's planning and zoning commission. Planners worked with citizens to come up with something workable.
The regulations are stringent, P&Z member Jean Boyack told the mayor and council.
In reading the new law, it appears she was not kidding.
For starters, all chickens in city limits must be Amazons. No males are allowed.
The populations of those ranches are also strictly regulated according to the size of the property. For a spread of 2,500 to 5,000 square feet, (.06 to .11 acre) the maximum allowable number of hens is three. The biggest ranches, 20,000 square feet or larger, can have up to 20 chickens.
Chickens have to be confined in a predator-proof enclosure by day and at night they must go into lockdown in a coop.
Neither the enclosure nor the coop can be visible from the street, and the chicken-occupied areas have to be 10 feet or more from any neighbor's inhabited buildings.
Owners must treat the hens with respect. Enclosures and coops have to allow at least three square feet of space for each chicken, and all of them need to be given adequate food and water.
Everything has to be kept clean and quiet, and hens may not trespass on adjacent properties.
Chicken ranchers must also buy annual permits from the city.
Finally, unlike the hens it regulates, the law has teeth. Councilman Robert Bradley said that the first offence will get a citation from police, and the second one means you're out.

By approximately 5:45 p.m. today, Exelon Nuclear had terminated the "unusual event" declarations at all four of its Mid-Atlantic nuclear stations.
Kennett Square, PA - By approximately 5:45 p.m. today, Exelon Nuclear had terminated the "unusual event" declarations at all four of its Mid-Atlantic nuclear stations. The declarations were issued earlier today at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Three Mile Island Unit 1 and Limerick Generating Station in Pennsylvania, and Oyster Creek Generating Station in New Jersey.
An "Unusual Event" is the lowest level emergency classification as determined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Operators have performed "walk-downs" to identify any potential effects from the seismic activity and will continue to monitor conditions, but no damage to equipment or impact to plant operations has been identified. All four plants continued to operate at normal power throughout the event, and no evacuations or additional safety measures were required.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.

Can not find this artist. Please help
I can not find the name of the artist in the picture below. I do know that it was most likely purchased at an art show in Venice Italy circa 1965.
Other than that I can not seem to identify this arts.
Anyone with any help or even clues?

It is very rare to find any painting or print without a signature, unless it has been cut down to fit an existing frame.
If this is a print the signature could be below the edge of frame. If there is a signature put up an image of it or a what the signature reads and I'll see what I can find for you.

No there is no signature or other information on it.
This is very frustrating because I know that this is not "junk" because I do know that it was featured in the Bi annual art show in Venice Italy. (Circa 1965) This show features only fairly well known artists and they do not feature "no namers" and the like.
I have a Cladio Oliavera oil on canvas that came from that show and I know that it is now worth some good money.
Another issue there may be information inside the frame but I certainly do not want to take out of the frame is it is fairly large and I would be afraid that I would not be able to get it back into the frame properly. Once something is professionally framed it is a very bad idea to take it out.
Any other ideas or clues would be appreciated.

References in Text
This chapter, referred to in subsecs. (a), (b)(1)(C), and (f), was in the original "this title", meaning title II of Pub. L. 98–620, Nov. 8, 1984, 98 Stat. 3336, known as the State Justice Institute Act of 1984, which is classified principally to this chapter. For complete classification of title II to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 10701 of this title and Tables.
1992—Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 102–528struck out at end "The publication of a substantive rule shall not be made less than thirty days before the effective date of such rule, except as otherwise provided by the Institute for good cause found and published with the rule."
1988—Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 100–690and Pub. L. 100–702made substantially identical amendments, striking out ", at least thirty days prior to their effective date," after "Federal Register" and inserting sentence at end relating to publication of a substantive rule.
1986—Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 99–514substituted "Internal Revenue Code of 1986" for "Internal Revenue Code of 1954" wherever appearing, which for purposes of codification was translated as "title 26" thus requiring no change in text.

Where's the photograph then?
My mum was a UN observer in the 1992 presidential election. She met both Clinton and Bush. She said Bush was a self-important boor, but Clinton complimented her on her accent and asked how she was enjoying America and so on. When she saw Primary Colors a few years later, she burst out laughing at the seduction bits, saying "That's him! That's Clinton!"Ubi Dubius wrote:Pres. Clinton visited my game store once, on my day off. Of course, I didn't find out he was there until later.

In this vintage childhood snap of Hilary Duff, the future starlet looks almost identical to her super cute son Luca (below)!
On Thursday, the 25-year-old tweeted the picture with the caption "chicken nugget" -- we can definitely tell where her little guy gets his bright blonde hair and big almond-shaped eyes from. Talk about good genes!
Duff also looks like she had just as big of personality then, as she does now. Click "Launch Gallery" above to see more stars before fame!
