    Symantec (Veritas) Backup Exec 11d Remote Admin console

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    Hey all!

    I'm trying to get something set-up - I want to be able to install the Backup Exec remote admin console in an unattended method.

    If I run "setup /?" I get a bunch of options to do this. e.g. "/RA" for remote admin and "-S" for silent. But when I use these options, either nothing happens or the normal install GUI appears as if I'd clicked on setup.exe.

    Anyone had any experience with this??

    Thanks!

    Run with different credentials

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Well I am glad to know it isn't just me!

    The "drop-down" list shows all accounts added to the local administrator group it seemed. I manually added my uberaccount to the local admins group, and it appeared.

    This is difficult to use properly when we use GPO restricted groups however....

    Run with different credentials

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Hey all,

    Hopefully a simple answer to this one....

    I'm in a domain, so I've got a shortcut to an admin util and I got under advanced and check "run with different credentials". Now, that works, however the default user credentials it always starts with are <LOCAL_MACHINE>\administrator - what I'd like to do is change it to something else e.g. domain\uberaccount so I don't have to type the domain & username in constantly. It does even have a drop-down list of potential accounts, but it doesn't list any domain accounts or accounts I've used before.

    Anyone got any idea if this default can be changed? I had a look using system monitor, but I couldn't find anything. :(

    Thanks!

    2003 SP2 & icacls /setowner

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    I did see that, but I believe it was trying to see if it was a local account before looking to the domain.

    Using psexec I ran icacls as a system account, but it didn't make any difference.

    If I use subinacl, I'll be ok I think. The main thing is that icacls /reset so I can propagate inherited permissions correctly. I could never get setacl to do it correctly!

    2003 SP2 & icacls /setowner

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    I'm having some real trouble with icacls on 2003 SP2, I can't get it to assign ownership. Takeown works fine, but I want to assign ownership to another user using script. xcacls.vbs is too slow to do this on the amount of files.

    Here is a demo:

    C:\>echo wibble > c:\wibble.txt

    C:\>icacls c:\wibble.txt

    c:\wibble.txt BUILTIN\Administrators:(F)

    BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)

    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)

    BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX)

    Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

    C:\>icacls c:\wibble.txt /setowner guest

    c:\wibble.txt: Access is denied.

    Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files

    C:\>icacls c:\wibble.txt /setowner guest2

    No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

    Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 0 files

    The second test was just to show that is recognised the account involved. I've tried several systems we've got, even in different forests and they all do the same thing. I've tried using the SID instead, and that doesn't help. I've tried using a UNC path through c$ and it that doesn't work. So I'm stuck!

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Shockwave "Click To Run ActiveX Control on this webpage"

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    Hey,

    Using Macromedia's licensing - http://www.macromedia.com/licensing/distribution/ - I'm doing unatteneded installs of Flash 8.0.24 and Shockwave 10.1.0.011.

    For Flash I use "install_flash_player_active_x.msi" and it works great. Installs unattended and flash works.

    For Shockwave, I use "sw_lic_full_installer.msi" and it also installs great. Sadly everytime I visit a webpage with Shockwave on it, IE pop-ups with "Click To Run ActiveX Control on this webpage" box in the middle of the window with just an "OK" button in it. If I OK it, then Shockwave displays it anyway.

    So I presume it is missing it's ActiveX Control or something like that. Or is a security issue, but turning my security right down hasn't helped.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Cheers!

    Office2K3 SP2 slipstreamed - Keep Install Cache?

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    Well I've done that. :)

    I'm just getting the "Fatal Error" everytime I call setup.exe with either ENFORCECACHE=1 in the setup.ini or passed as an argument to the installer.

    When I just install Office 2003 without SP2 slipstreamed, then it installs the cache just fine. :(

    So it seems to be an issue with the slipstreaming of the SP2 service pack. And yes, I'm still using a CD image that has been slipstreamed to SP2.

    Office2K3 SP2 slipstreamed - Keep Install Cache?

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    I've just been trying to do this... using this tip http://www.appdeploy.com/tips/detail.asp?id=76 I created a CD image of Office 2003 with SP2 integrated into it.

    Now, I've got the enterprise setup and when I run it with ENFORCECACHE=1 it doesn't run and I get a fatal error. :( The thing is, when I use a reference Office 2003 (no SPs integrated) it works just fine. So I presume it gets upset with the presence of SP2 in the install.

    Did anyone ever resolve this issue?!

    Cheers.
