What are the pros and cons of each?

I hope you can help.  I have a DPM 2016 (Version 5.0.342.0) built on Windows Server 2016 fully patched OS with a HP LTO 7 Ultrium 15000 external Tape Drive attached.  My issue is the Tapes are not using the Compression and I have now reached the native 7TB capacity of the tapes.  
I have the Tape compression enabled on the Protection Groups but it does not appear to be sending the compression instruction.  I have also ensured that I am using the latest firmware and drivers for the LTO 7 drive.  Does anyone know if DPM 2016 can provide compression on the HP LTO 7 Drive and if so what may I be missing on getting this work?  Many thanks for any assistance provided

I have a peer-to-peer network with all windows 10 pro and one windows 7 pro workstations. I am pretty sure that prior to the windows 10 1803 update I could go to windows explorer and click on network and see all the computers in the workgroup (they are all members of the same workgroup). Now all that the workstations can see are three of the computers (all see the same three) except for one computer that I have determined is the master browser. It is able to see all the workstations. If I run a net view from the master browser it immediately lists all the computers. However if I run the net view command from any of the other workstations there is a delay and I get one of two error messages - either "system error 1231 has occurred" or "the service has not been started - see help message 2184".
I have made sure that all the workstations are on a private as opposed to public network, I have network discovery and file sharing turned on and I have turned on the windows feature SMB 1.0. I have enabled Netbios over TCP/IP. I have checked all aplloicable services and they are running.

I can ping all the computers and can access them via UNC and add a shortcut to the quick launch. I just cannot see them through explorer. I am baffled and searches show I am not the only one with this problem but I have been unable to find a resolution.

I just did a little more investigation and turned on the column for Discovery Method and see that the three computers that are visible are …

I have Windows 10 pro (All uptodate), HP SLICE hardware, running latest google chrome... all videos, youtube, daily motion, msn, and streaming media... it will delay the video for 5 to 10 seconds but audio continues.   Happens everytime,... seems like this started in the last few weeks.  No chrome extensions... all have been disabled while troubleshooting.  I can allow or block popups and ads in settings and get same result.  Cant figure out what is causing.   I have uninstalled chrome and reinstalled to no avail.   If you use IE or Firefox... no issues whatsoever with video... so this is isolated to Chrome.  When the video freezes.. it appears all of chrome is freezing at the same time... you can't click on anything, settings etc... until it unfreezes.   Please help

Does anyone out there use the Blue Prism automation tool?  I’m having an issue with the tool in Windows 10 that I do not have in Windows 7.

My automation reads values from an Excel file (Year, Month) and uses those values to select from two drop downs on a web page in IE11.  For example, my Excel file has “2017” in one column and “May” in another column, and my automation is supposed to select “2017” from one drop down (that lists 2016, 2017, 2018) and “May” from the other drop down (that lists Jan, Feb, Mar, etc). on the web page.   I’ve properly identified the two drop downs in Blue Prism.  When I launch the automation, I receive an internal error that states “No child item exists with the specified text” in my “Write” step.  The EXACT SAME CODE works fine on IE11 in Windows 7.  Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

bitlocker encrypted drive on usb: we have a laptop with ssd drive with bitlocker encryption that crashed and won't reboot to windows.  Before reinstalling Windows 10, I'd like to know how to put the drive on external usb on another computer to try to retrieve data from it.  It just says it's not accessible and doesn't have an option to put in the encryption key.

I am trying to pull down an image from our Windows deployment server to laptops we have here onsite. The laptops are dell latitude 7940s and their network adapters are Intel I219-LM's. When I try to boot into the windows 10 .wim boot file we have on our WDS server I get the error below:

"WdsClient: An error occurred while obtaining an IP address from the DHCP server. please check to ensure there is an operational DHCP server on this network segment"

we have an active DHCP server role on the WDS server which has been able to assign ip address to windows 10 machines I have previously imaged with no issues,

i have tried looking for the necessary network adapter drivers to add to our current .wim file for this adapter but every driver package i downloaded from the dell site will not successfully add to the windows 10 .wim image.


can anyone please advise?

Hello Experts:

I have a Windows 10 machine (original, not an upgrade) that will not upgrade to the latest version and build.  Here’s what happens:

I go to updates.  It says I am current (winver says it's running version 1703, Build 15063.1155).  I tell it to check for updates and it says it will download it.  It takes about an hour to finish saying it's preparing for download and then it says it's going to download.  About an hour and a half later, it says it is not secure and needs an update (requires restart).  I've tried restarting from this window as well as a manual restart (it even says update and restart).

Either way it restarts and winver still says version 1703, build 15063.1155.

I've even wiped the drive and done a fresh install (not from the recovery partition but from the HP media they sent me.

I'm looking at the retry (when I looked this last time it failed and gave me error 0x80070002.  I checked that error code and, it said to download a Windows Update repair tool.  I've downloaded that too, but I haven’t used it yet.  I'll try that if this attempt doesn’t work

Just a side note:  I’ve had customers with Windows update troubles from almost the get-go.  For a while I could use the Windows 10 Update Assistant.  But that’s no longer available.  I can run it online, but I It isn’t a download any longer (at least that I can find).

This not being able to control updates is really frustrating.  Quite presumptuous on the part of Microsoft if you ask…

I received a large PDF file. It took days for me to type in all the information. I would like to save this file with the text. Is there any work-around to saving this PDF file with my entered text?
There was a message bar that said that I cannot save the text and that if I try to save the document, I just get the original PDF file saved devoid of my text entries. Sure enough, those words were true. For that reason, I shut off WIFI because an update might cause a reboot, and I would lose my text.

Luckily on Windows 10, I was able to print to a PDF file which I was able to transfer to a Windows 7 laptop, and email that file back to the sender. The printed PDF file has all my information, but it is not-editable; and I can't even copy text data from this saved file.

I had asked the sender to send me a PDF file with the ability to save the text, in case of a OS crash. Answer was a firm "No" - end of discussion. Anyway, now that I have sent the completed form back to the sender, this request doesn't matter. I am still keeping the Acrobat program in memory with my text data in case I get feedback that I have to revise it.

If I can't save my PDF file text, I started thinking about a work-around by using a new SSD that I will use to replace the HD someday; but I fail to see how I can use it to give me a backup of the in-memory work that I have done. For now, I put my Windows 10 laptop to sleep on a permanent basis until I figure this one out, or just give up, and let the …

I am running Windows 10 and Office 365 on my Lenovo P71 computer.  I would like to print my Contacts, including the memo/notes for each contact, but I can't figure out how to print the entire Contacts folder with all the information contained in the entries.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Phil
