So I understand that WMIC outputs to Unicode, and most applets and commands uses (and deals with) ANSI. One of the ways to deal with this is to pipe the output to the MORE command. It's a startup script run in the context of a Computer Administrator as a group policy. That seems to work on some computers, and not with others. The computers are Windows 7 Enterprise x86 and x64. Commands that I use to process the output don't work (using "find" command"). When you open these log files it outputs, it's blank except for having a few blank lines (like someone hit Enter key without anything else). Any ideas why this is happening and how to work around this? Edit: I'm not sure if it's related, but I spot checked a few PCs to see if I can find any coorlation between the working ones and the non-working ones. The 2 PCs I checked that were "broken" had version 6.1.7601.24214 6.1.7601.24024 The 2 PCs I checked that were fine have: 6.1.7601.24117 6.1.7601.23391 To find the versions, I UNC'd into C:\Windows\System32 and checked the version of the ntoskrnl.exe file.

O/S Win7 C: INT 80gb System Drive D: INT 500gb Back-Up J: EXT HDD 750gb WD Black In brief: My O/S 80gb HDD C: has failed. I've sent off for a new 1 TB HDD to apply a system image from an internal HDD back up image. (I'll also want to partition it...Best size for an O/S' headroom?) but I'm wary of the steps to take because of the below steps and outcomes to attempt fixing the no booting I firstly tried, due to misdiagnosing the situation. Note: Also tried booting with just failed HDD installed with different cables to be sure. 01 - No boot, booted from O/S Disc. I noticed 2X HDDs, where "Back-UP" D, had now changed to "C: Back-Up", and what I thought was the original O/S C: drive was now J: (But was in fact the EXT 750gb HDD I forgot was plugged in!!!) So thought somehow the drive letters had somehow changed. Ergo not booting because "C: Back-Up" had no O/S files. (I now know in fact the original C: O/S HDD must have failed and somehow D: got bumped back to C:) "If that's possible? 02 - Applied a saved system image from newly listed "C: Back-Up" (was D:) using O/S Disc tools to EXT HDD J:, but still wouldn't boot. I only then realised I'd copied a system image to my EXT HDD...Dohhh! 03 - F8 tapping to put EXT HDD first boot device. Again no boot!, and now showing still as J: but with a capacity of 80gb instead of actual 750gb!!! Q. With confusing the EXT HDD as being my O/S HDD I've re-imaged whilst the failed original INT 80gb O/S HDD was connected. May that have some bearing? (Now pulled out) Q. Now when the New INT HDD arrives and I install it, I am concerned that it will apply another drive letter other than (C:) to it, again stopping me from booting because of the previous experience above? Q. I read O/S back up images like to be installed on a partition of the same size as the original image was ripped from, but I'd prefer a bit more headroom on the new HDD for it if possible? If anyone could give me some insight how to go about this I'd be very greatful. Regards Paul More...

Hi, I have a situation where a standard domain user who is not supposed to have admin rights has admin rights in a local PC. I have checked the account permissions and it does not have admin rights. I have also checked the Tools>Computer Management ? Groups > Administrators and confirmed that it does not have the user added to this group. This computer officially has 2 admin accounts, one is the domain admin and one local admin. I am cracking my head trying to figure out how this user got admin privileges even though locally and in the AD this user does not have the rights assigned to them. I have removed the user profile in this computer and have created a new profile but that did not seem to help. Please advise if I have missed something here. Thank you. More...

Hi, I wanted to go into safe mode on windows 7 but it kept stopping at classpnp.sys . After reading a few threads I read about using Msconfig and checking the safe mode option under "Boot". It still keeps staying at classpnp.sys and when I hit F8 and hit "Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)" it seems to be able to get trough and it says it's actually loading up safe mode but then it changes to a black screen and does not change from that screen. I would appreciate and information you guys have that could solve this problem. If any of you know a command I could type in cmd to bring up the msconfig while in repair mode I could fix it because all I need to do is untick "Safe mode on startup" More...

Hi, After receiving the final release of build 17134.1 I have noticed that the size of folders on both of my drives are less than the actual size inside. I had this issue before when I tried the insider build of this version, but reverted back to the previous version as this is a fairly big bug for me, and assumed it would be fixed/ noticed by the time of public release. When reverting back to the previous version, the folder size returned to normal. I'm thinking it's a bug with the calculation of the size as when deleting a folder, the true size is noticed (e.g. removing 100GBs of data), yet when navigating to the folder's properties the size is calculated wrongly (e.g. only 60GBs) Sorry for the lack of technical information, aTOM19 More...

I logged in this morning to find Windows 10 had ran updates last night, I found my link to Active Directory Users and Computers (dsa.msc) was broken and the file removed. I went into Control Panel to add it back in through "Turn Windows features on or off" but found RSAT was completely removed. I contacted Microsoft Tier 1 Chat support (Roland G) and was told "Roland G: Okay and I would like to inform you that remote desktop services is no longer available in Windows 10. Roland G: It will not work in windows 10 Me: remote server manager services? Roland G: Yes" In disbelief I continued searching online, going back to the RSAT download page (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45520) I found it lists windows 10 as being supported (**Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 can be installed ONLY on computers that are running the full release of Windows 10 Professional, Windows 10 Enterprise, or Windows 10 Education.** ) so I downloaded and installed it again. Now everything is back to normal. I hope this saves someone some time! More...

I stupidly and unknowingly tried to use the "Create a new pool and storage space" function on just my single hard drive. When I initially used my hard drive, I only had the single space, no partitions. I then tried to use this "new pool" function that is under Settings > System > Storage > Manage Storage Spaces, thinking that it would do something else. Being that I only had one disk in the pool, it said "Failed to create a pool". Fine, I thought. Then I noticed that my hard drive was not listed under This PC in the File Explorer, and I have no idea how to find it (I had originally called it ':Z'). I can't assign any saved files to that partition, either. Under the Disk Management window, the 931 unused GB of the original 1 TB hard drive are listed under Disk 1 as "Unallocated". The Disk is online. But the original ':Z' space is nowhere to be found. That partition does not appear in the upper part of the window, where you would see the columns: "Volume, Layout, Type, File System", etc. I have made a new ':Y' partition of 500 GB temporarily for use, though I still need access to the old files in the missing ':Z' volume. Any help would be monumentally appreciated, though I understand that the issue is not too clear. I don't even really know what I did. The pool function returning an error should, in my mind, have left the original storage space unchanged. Thank you. More...

Hi, I have a trouble shutting down my Dell Latitude E6510 laptop after upgrade from Win10 1709 to Win10 1803. The Windows "Shut down" command only shuts down the system but not the computer - the fans, led lights, screen backlight etc. remain on. I disabled Fast Boot and it didn't help. The Bios is updated to the newest version available. The PC uses i7 Q720 Intel processor for which there's no Intel Management Engine Interface available (there's obviously no point in trying to downgrade it). Would You have any suggestions? Thanks a lot. More...
