Logon script sometime not working - System Admin Discussion Boards

We have a shared project that is used in many solutions we have under MS Visual Source Safe 2005.

This project has a reference to a third party component that we all have installed on our machines, located in the directory C:\Program Files\Some Third Party Component\Something.DLL

Now, since we all have the shared project and the referenced DLL located in the same places on each of our machines, life is good.

Now along comes the 64 bit world. A new development machine running a 64 bit operating system doesn't have a C:\Program Files\ folder containing the necessary 32 bit components, it has a C:\Program files (x86)\ folder.

So either the 32 bit machines can check in the reference that works for them, or the 64 bit machine can check in the reference that works for it. Either way, someone is unable compile the latest version.

This is also an issue for things located in C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWow64

One solution we have currently is to manually create and populate the (x86) folders and SysWow64 folders on 32 bit machines, which is working, I guess, but... gak.

Has anyone else run into this fun yet?
How did you deal with it?
Is there a best practice here?

hi Jack

Well i never came across the problem, just that it had my boss very angry when i wanted a file and he checkeditout somewhere in his system. am using vs2005/2008 and sql 2005 and i had no problems lately , i think i had a lot of problems with sourcesafe that i can master it and its bugs. The SS pluggin in VS sometimes it gets buggy. just make a backup of your work as a zip file so that your work will not be lost.

I'm strictly a developer and 90% is asp.net development. My boss is making me maintain our server and i have no clue what to do. I did find an article[^] but it seems pretty generalized. Could i have some recommendations on some books that really dig down into administrating ASP.NET on IIS

Thanks,

Hi, my client computer join to the domain controller but sometime when I logon to the computer successfully, my desktop and task bar and everything on the screen won't appear. To solve this, I press control alt delete again and log off and logon to the computer again they the icon and task bar will appear.

It is not a big problem but its really make my client disturb their work. Does anyone know what is the cause of this problem and how to solve it?

Thank in advance!!!

Hi, I have configure a user logon script from the domain controller and also run the gpupdate /force command in order to update the policy. There are two drive that I mapped in the script (drive T: and drive Z Smile | :)

.

The problem is sometime when the user logon to the computer, they didn't see the mapped drive at all until they restart the machine again. Or sometime they see only one mapped drive (drive T: or drive Z Smile | :)

and some user could see both (that is no problem).

From here could anyone please let me know what is the likely cause of the problem?

Thank in advacne!!!

It's more likely that your login script is erroring out somewhere for some reason. Without the script being rewritten to provide logging information, you really have no information to go on.

I already test the script manually and found it working fine. There is no error during the script run. It seem that the GPO refreshment is not working well when the user is logon to Windows.

Yeah, it's probably going to work if you run it manually. What I'm saying is that, somehow, somehwere, the script is failing when it is run during logon. You're going to have to go through the script and put in some intrumentation code to log what's going on to a file so you can figure out where its failing.

Actually the loopback address is not limited to the 127 subnet, a loopback adaptor can be set to any address.

Your question is not very well formed and you left out quite a few details.

1.) What operating system? Linux? Windows Server? XP? Vista?
2.) Are you looking for commandline tools such as NetSh[^]?
3.) Are you looking for a programming solution or commandline?

Hello Mr. Nickolay Karnaukhov,

Thanks for your reply. Unlike you,I refrain from blaming your community/nationality for poking your nose to make un-welcome comments about Indian developers and the not so polite attitude displayed in your mail-as i dont believe in such notions. I am sure that you didn't have any idea of what i was talking about in my post and didn't have anything to help. Like it or not, there are millions of Indian developers across the globe and across the industries whom people like you can seek inspiration from. I am an ordinary developer though who seeks to find answer to my small queries in places like codeproject where some wise and level headed people devote their time to spread knowledge and help lesser mortals like me.

Thanks and Best regards.

You're absolutely right! I'm not polite and should not be polite when someone ask dump and ugly formed questions. And you're absolutely right that millions of Indian developers work in different industries and countries but these 10 developers I knew and worked with during last years - were screwing up everything because of their mentality.

"Why should I bother to make things better if I get paid for doing nothing special"

What would you say on that?

And sorry if I hurt someone's feeling but I'm honest and all described above is truth.

P.S. I've spend many hours of work to debug, fix and finally complete one small project which was done by FIVE guys from Bangalor. That project took 6 month for them to make something that seems to be working however application wasn't completed. Customer was trying to make them fix it for next 6 month constantly paying them. But there was no luck. Then I got this project and finished it for one month, alone, at home, working for 2-3 hours per day.

So what would I think about Indian programmers?

May be you are right about the developers you are talking about. May be you are smarter and more talented and experienced then your fellow Indian colleagues or may be you are exceptionally talented.

But, If you are saying/thinking that you have not found smarter people then you or if you are saying/thinking that you have never been proved dumb in your career by someone more experienced/talented/smart, then I know that you are lying big time. Nobody in this world is absolute smartest/most talented/ever intelligent. I am pretty much sure that there are dumb people in every society including Russia. If that was not the case, they would not keep the word "dumb" in many languages in many countries. So please do not categorize people based on nationalities. Moreover, There is no person in this world which hadn't have his moments of dumbness.

Now to tell you the facts that there is highest percentage of Indian developers in organizations (e.g. NASA/Microsoft)that boast of having the smartest/talented people in the world.

No every country has shown there share of dumbness/follies in their history including Russia/former Soviet Union, so dont blame India alone for dumbness detected in this world.

As far as I am concerned, i do not have any problem if you think i am dumb. One should have the ability to ask the dumbest of questions if one needs to gain some knowledge.

David,

Thanks for your answer and quick and valuable help.

I am not asking about loopback adapter that is optionally installed and does not come with Windows. The Microsoft Loopback Adapter is an optional interface you
can install, not a standard part of the OS, and, even *without* that
adapter installed, you can send IP packets from the machine to its own
IP address, or to 127.0.0.1 (the loopback address), and have them be
received by the machine.I assume that the purpose of the Microsoft
Loopback Adapter is to deal with cases where you *do* want a network
adapter for testing purposes (so that what I presume is internal
looping-back by the networking stack isn't sufficient), or where you
need a network address other than one that belongs to a real network
adapter and other than the 127.0.0.1 (or other loopback network)
address.

Thus the loopback address i am talking about is different then the loopback adapter that you seem to be talking about which can have any address other then "127.*" net.

I was looking for a programming solution on all WIndows platforms e.g. XP/2000, 2003, 2008/Vista. Now i have found the solution, which is to enumerate the local interfaces using WSAIoctl() and checking for loopback net with flag IFF_LOOPBACK for the loopback interface.

Thanks again for your help.

Best Regards.

Hi Gajendra,

I am happy that you found a solution to your problem. When I asked for clarification regarding your question it was because I was prepared to give you a software engineering answer. However because the question was asked in the System Admin forum I was not sure if you wanted a progmatic solution or a command-line tool.

The solution you have found using the IFF_LOOPBACK bitmask will only tell you if the address is in the 127 subnet. This might be exactly what you are looking for.

However if you also wanted to enumerate loopback adaptors you could use the IP Helper library. These functions could be modified to enumerate loopback interfaces:

Good Morning All

i have a Sourcesage Database created by me and my Boss has access to the Files in his Computer, now there is a Class Project that claims it has been checkout by him and when he checks in is Computer it says i have the file checkedout by me. Now another thing when he tries to checkitout from VS it says

"The File has been exclusively checkout by the same user in a different location"

We have delete any occurance of that file we have only in his machine. How can we overwrite this Error

Thanks

The SourceSafe administrator needs to login and right click on the file and select 'Undo Checkout'. The database may be corrupted and may need to be analyzed and repaired.

I found a Solution to this. This is because my Boss had a project previouly and made a backup and delete the old one and create a new one in a different location. Now Sourcesafe was pointing to the deleted directory. To resolve this i change the directory to the new location of the file and check it in from his side and get the latest and and check it out from my site.
