Comment on How to share a folder in Mac OS X for Windows users by Jeff

Jeff — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:00:35 +0000

We are trying to make a Mac OS X Lion into a basic file server, binding it to an AD. The problem I face is folder permission inheritance. If a AD user has the right to create a folder inside an existing Mac folder, the permissions are not inherited from the containing folder.

Will you be covering that aspect in any post? or a later post?

Thanks,

Jeff

Oh good grief, chalk it up to frustration and having EVP’s breathing down your neck. I got it, for anyone else who leaps before you look, stick with it, this is a great solution to a most frustrating problem.

I figured out that I needed to reboot before trying the registry from a different location. Go figure, the most obvisous solution is so often over looked. However, my registry shows 10 in the place where I am supposed to place 10, so back to the drawing board.

I still haven’t gotten past the error. It appears that the registry loads the same no matter where I run it from. My system drive is D as well, I just get a slew of new errors.

Kevin, you have to boot up again from CD. You can’t replace system files while the OS is online.

Sorry, I can’t answer all the questions. It appears to me that some of you have problems with creating a bootable USB stick. The corresponding section in this post was messed up because of a CMS update. I corrected this now. If you follow the instructions step-by-step it should work.

Ching, Windows PE has no graphical user interface. So everything appears to be alright in your case.

Thanks Michael

I had a problem invoking the cmd editor to restore the original sethc.exe file.

How do I do this?

Thank you.

Wonderful article indeed, but what if you get this message when you try to hiv the reg.
cannot load x:\WINDOWS32\CONFIG\SAM: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
I went through the forum but got no answer to this question, i guess someone asked the same in short, he also left without answer till now, any help will be appriciated.
Thank you

Comment on Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (WUDT) is unable to copy files by Darren

Darren — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 07:22:52 +0000

I could not get this to work, I kept getting the same error. So I used this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

Where it asks for your iso type, scroll way down to the bottom where it says Windows 7 and click that.

Follow directions. Wait. Boom.

Hi,

Is there a reason we don’t edit copype.cmd to copy the boot.wim to the correct folder? It seems weird to have to manually do a task that is easy to automate.

I am at a loss here. I navigate to d:\windows\system32\config and run regedit it pulls up the same regedit. I run it from d:\windows it tells me its the wrong version. I run if from d:\windows\system32 it returns an apphelp.dll error saying it isn’t designed to run on this version of windows or it contains an error.

Brian, the drive letter X indicates that you are trying to load the registry of the boot OS which is Windows PE. You can probably find the Windows 7 installation on drive D.
