Back-end Server

Posted: 27 May 2006 06:28 PM PDT

We are running an A-P cluster and are running OWA ssl. I would like to use
forms based authentication but is grayed out and Microsoft says that they do
not support it. It then says that we need to use a FE server.

So if I make my server a FE-BE server this would solve my issue and would
allow me to use the forms based instead of having a pop-up for login
purposes.

What my main goal is, is to get my users to use a login web page instead of
a pop up. It justs looks more professional.

Yes it is. And your right direct push works for a while and then gets less

Sender-ID, SPF

Posted: 26 May 2006 07:32 AM PDT

How do you mean? I have set the Sender-ID service to reject messages that
fail validation, forcing the sending server to generate an NDR. I have
added my Exchange server to the list of servers that handle incoming mail
messages. My server my ISPs relay server are the only servers that handles
incoming SMTP messages for my organisation and I have added both to the list
on the Message Delivery General tab. What more do I need to do, apart from
enabling it on the SMTP virtual server which I had done but have had to
disable because of a problem I am having.

TIA,

Metabase Update Warnings

Posted: 25 May 2006 01:15 PM PDT

Thanks Leif,
In fact, I was a bit quick. I didn't mean unistall/reinstall IIS, but simply
reset the default virtual directories that are required to provide Outlook
Web Access, Exchange ActiveSync, and Outlook Mobile Access services in
Exchange Server 2003 - which is not quite the same thing...
I am sorry for the misunderstanding - but thanks for the link on
reinstalling Exchange which could be quite useful...

what benefit or advantage will have by creating routing groups, keep in mind

Colored Cross-references

I write technical documents that have lots of cross-references, to Tables, Figures, Appendices, etc. Lately, many of my clients are asking to have them (the cross-references) be colored blue, I suppose because that makes one realize they are hyperlinks. I can't find a field switch for the REF field that would let me do that automatically as I create them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Office 2013- disable ability to editing of PDF files?

We recently installed Office 2013 in the office and some people would prefer to turn off or disable the ability of Word, Excel, etc. to be able to edit PDFs.  There is concern users can easily edit any pdf distributed to the business.  Can you turn off the that feature for all users in the enterprise?

onAction macros do not show up in Macros Window

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 12:50 PM PDT

Word 2013 on Windows 8.1

I added 4 custom buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar, which are linked to 4 VBA macros. While everything works fine, the 4 macros do not show up in the Ribbon - View - Macros window as soon as I add the parameter (control As IRibbonControl) to the Sub definition, although they are correctly displayed in the Visual Basic Editor as well as in Organizer's left window. If I remove (control As IRibbonControl), the macros reappear in the Macros Window - but they no longer work from the buttons!

Should I change any parameter or setting? Does it 'work as designed'? Or is it a SW error?

Thanks for your comments and suggestions

SharePoint Metadata and Microsoft Word (Office 365)

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 11:59 AM PDT

We have a SharePoint document library.  In this library, there is a custom content type which is a Word file that has about 7 properties.  2 of the properties are drop down lists.  When you create a new document from the library with this content type, it opens the document panel at the top of Word and shows these 7 properties to fill out.  Nothing out of the ordinary there...

We have a single user (so far) who after being upgraded to Office 365 ProPlus can only choose one of the first 12 or so entries from 2 of the drop down in this property panel.  If she tries to click on any values lower down in the list, it does nothing...as if she hadn't even clicked an option.  We have updated her to the latest version of Office 365 (15.0.4569.1508) which made no difference.  We also had her try performing an 'Online Repair' of Microsoft Office 365.  Same result.

Anyone else ever seen this?  Suggestions?

Error Opening Microsoft Applications

Whenever I try to open Microsoft Word or Powerpoint I get a message saying "Something went wrong. We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again. If it won't start, try repairing Office from 'programs and features' in the control panel."

Yet I am unable to do either of those options

Office 2013 crashes in windows 8.1

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 10:42 AM PDT

Hello,

I'm using an ASUS PU500CA with Windows 8.1. I have posted a question about bluetooth problems a few days ago (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/windows-81-cannot-connect-to-bluetooth-and-usb/3d8f86a4-6f44-4f07-acfe-2ef0c11465ff). The computer worked well since then, but today, another error appears and it seems much more annoying.

+) Some programs become "not responding" after opened. For example, when I open Words 2013, I can still type in or read the documents, but if I tried to print it or change the Page Setup, it crashes immediately. I have no choice but stop it by Task Manager. The same with PowerPoint and Excel. It's even worse in Adobe Photoshop CC, everytimes I try to create a new file, it crashes.

I have searched in the Community and found out that many have rather similar problems of Office 2013 and I have tried some solutions. It's not because of the plug-in because I disabled them all but no use.

+) Another possible cause I have found is the default printer so I went to "devices and printers" to change the default printer but once again, I cannot even open it. The Control Panel crashes immediately when I click at "devices and printers". Well, it seems the systems tries to prevent me from fixing the error =.=!

+) Once again, the computer cannot recognize any USB or SD card I plugged in. Fortunately, I can still use the bluetooth mouse, not like the previous time. I have to restart the computer with these devices plugged in so that I can read the USB or the card.

Word Always Recalculates Some Cross-References but Not Others with Track Changes On

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 09:41 AM PDT

I've experienced this on multiple documents but finally decided to ask.

Many of our documents have cross-references to Headings using Heading Text. With Track Changes On, when we recalculate the entire document (e.g. to refresh page numbers), some but not all of the referenced headings also indicate a change. Even though they did not change. It happens on specific headings every time and wastes a lot of time to review what changed or not.

Any suggestions on how to fix this so that it doesn't recur? Thanks.

I'm having problem with spanish grammar checking on word 2013

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 09:15 AM PDT

It appears that the Spanish grammar checking tries to work, but fails on simple grammar mistakes.  For example, this is incorrect: nosotros es in la patio. grammar checker finds that la patio is incorrect and suggests: el patio.  Spell check determines that in is wrong and suggests en. However, es is wrong, should be estamos. This is basic Spanish grammar and if Word can't catch this--what good is it???

Then I suddenly saw how the page number started to count over again on the next page. I tried to select the footer, right click the wrong number, click "Format page number" and choose "Continue from previous section.

Changes happened to default picture object wrapping style "In line with text"?

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 06:51 AM PDT

Are there changes happened to default picture object wrapping style "In line with text"?  In Word 2010 we were able to insert pictures made by our own applications into a word document and we could edit (double click) the picture object (which contains embedded data, it can also be linked to our application) in WORD itself. The default picture object wrapping style was, and is still, 'In line with text', but it seems the internals of this option have changed in the sense that, we are not able to edit our picture object anymore in WORD itself. Trying to edit the picture opens our intermediate application which is the link between WORD and our main application. The strange thing is, when we choose for the default wrapping style something different than 'In line with text' we get back the old (word2010) behavior. What's more, in powerpoint 2013 everything seems to work fine with the 'in line with text' setting. We can not work around this problem with the default copy/paste wrapping style setting which is available in WORD, as the insert of our picture objects into WORD do not use the regular copy paste commands, so they have no effect here.

I hope there is an explanation to this problem.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Matthias

Paint only heading text, not the index

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 05:25 AM PDT

Fellow sufferers!

I have some headings that look like this:

ii       Bangladesh

iii      Hungary

In this text, I want to highlight ALL country names with a colour (using the paint bucket icon) like if I had used a Faber-Castell text liner. It is a document about countries, so the highlighting makes it easier to read (at least I believe so :-))) )

My problem is, the "ii" and the "iii" get marked as well, all the way to the country name. The same happens in the TOC.

How can I limit the colouring to just the country name in the above examples?

If you can help me, it will be a great great help!

Thanks in advance!

If you manually patch +200 system you can't be helped anyway...
 

Doesn't look that problematic to me, YMMV:

utf-8 national character input in Konsole/KDE/X?

Yes, it has always done for me. FC1, FC2, FC3 and FC4.
 

If LESSCHARSET matters, I think the applications are doing something strange,
like having incorrect envoronment. (LANG, LC_ALL).
 

It is not clear if ls thinks the utf chars are non-printable, or if it
is the terminal program that does not know what to do with them.

I would like to spy a little, but "ls | od" is not good, because
ls behaves differently when the stdout is not a terminal. Use the
command "script":

cd
script
ls
exit
od -c typescript
 

"script" will capture your keypresses as seen by the shell.
 

There are stages:

1. You reboot, kernel starts "init". This program has no initial environment. It sets a few
variables like RUNLEVEL.
2. "init" starts "prefdm". This is a shell script, but it does not load and .bashrc.
It does, however, source /etc/profile.d/lang.sh
3. prefdm starts kdm. I don't know how many steps are involved here. I think is starts
X and a program to display a login screen. This program returns a username, and
kdm runs a session manager, makes it owned by the user, and gives it an initial
envoronment, including, I think, HOME. The session manager is responsible for
setting up the session programs, starting the window manager, the panel, and all
the other programs that are needed to run a desktop. I don't know what environment
e.g. the panel program gets.
4. The panel or the window manager starts Konsole. Konsole inherits an environment from
the program that starts it.
5. Konsole starts a shell, possibly as a "login" shell, certainly as an interactive shell.
This determines what files the shell sources. See man bash, section INVOCATION.
The files are /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile, or ~/.bashrc.

The point is that when you run "env" you see the envoronment that the shell sets up after
reading these files. Konsole has a different environment. However, you can find out
what environment running programs are seeing, using

tr '\0' '\012' </proc/1234/environ

with the appropriate process id instead of "1234".

 

On my system there is no missing file:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I can do:

$ LANG=no_NO.UTF-8
$ locale
LANG=no_NO.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="no_NO.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I suggest you do "strace -e trace=file locale". I get:

$ strace -e trace=file locale
execve("/usr/bin/locale", ["locale"], [/* 47 vars */]) = 0
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=79670, ...}) = 0
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1485672, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=49608448, ...}) = 0
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 1), ...}) = 0
LANG=no_NO.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="no_NO.UTF-8"

etc., as before.
 

Looks good, I have

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:fr_FR.UTF-8:fr_FR:fr:no_NO.UTF-8:no_NO:no:es_ES.UTF-8:es_ES:es"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

 

Looks good, I have

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "no"
EndSection
 

What does the string in quotes look like? In my news reader it is coming across
as double-quote, i-with-dieresis, inverted-question-mark(spanish),
vulgar-fraction-one-half, and there is no terminating double quote.
 

It should be like this:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 361871676, (105,108), root:(1169,1113),
state 0x10, keycode 48 (keysym 0xe6, ae), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 a6) "æ"
XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 a6) "æ"
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 361871754, (105,108), root:(1169,1113),
state 0x10, keycode 48 (keysym 0xe6, ae), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 a6) "æ"

that is, XlookupString should return two bytes, not one. (I don't know how the
"ae" character displays in your news reader or browser, on my screen it is the
standard Danish/Norwegian ligature.)

Check what is in the environment of the xev program! It's this program
that runs the XlookupString function and gets a single character instead of two.
 

Been there, all forgotten. Repeatedly. Each time, started over afresh. Arghh.

When you find the origin of the problem, you have probably changed a few things
that were actually correct, and you may fail to realise that you have found it.
Double arghhh.
