just got a couple of new PanelPC's running Windows Embedded 2009 that we are going to send out to clients.
Before we send them we install our software on them and now found out that the service "Second Logon" isn't in the Windows Embedded installation that is on the PC's.
We don't have the possibillity to change the Windows Embedded image ourselvse and are now trying to find out if we can install "Second Logon" somehow?
Does anybody know anything about this.
After some communication on the microsoft forums it turned out there were no good way to add Second logon afterwards. The only way to go is to request a new image from the manufacturer which turned out to be quite easy, so now we are up and running.

So I've been having trouble installing TIA Portal v15.1. During the installation, I always get an error message saying "some installed products need licenses". I'm on win 10 Pro 64 bit. The log file can be found here: http://txt.do/1eusu
Thanks for your help in advance. Been struggling for a while now.

It seems to fail at MSMQ. Make sure MSMQ is enabled,
You can find this under
control panel > turn on windows features > MSMQ.
Also try to run the installer as administrator (in case you didn't do this already).
first I want to state that I am a novice when it comes to code/programming. Also, I have a Mac (that runs Catalina, if that matters).
This is my first time posting to this forum, so please forgive any missteps in protocol...
Here's some background info to my question:
I have Microsoft 365 for Business and I use Teams. I'm a small business and I'm the owner and administrator. I need to be able to share externally with anyone. I have changed the settings in SharePoint admin and OneDrive admin to be able to share externally. Look here to see an example of what I have done, and the problem: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/onedrive-for-business/share-with-anyone-with-the-link-setting-is-grey-out-why/m-p/810390
Even after allowing for external sharing, the sharing options are still greyed-out. But this is not my question. I know how to fix it; as it says in the above link, I need to enable sharing in Powershell via set-sposite "siteurl" -sharingcapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
After some research, I found that there is a Microsoft Pwsh for Mac. I downloaded Homebrew, Microsoft PowerShell and Azure. (I also have Node.js, if that matters.) Here is a screenshot of my terminal (I hid any identifying information...):
terminal screenshot
As you can see, I get this error: Connect-SPOService -Url https://<organization name here>admin.sharepoint.com Connect-SPOService: The term 'Connect-SPOService' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I contacted Microsoft and had a technician with me on the phone trying to troubleshoot their way into my SPOService on my Mac using Homebrew in order to fix the greyed-out "share with anyone" option. We were unsuccessful. At the moment, I do have access to a Windows computer, and I was able to enter my SPOService on that Windows computer and resolve the problem. However, for each new SharePoint site I create and want to share externally, I will need to repeat this process (at least, this is what the technician told me). I will not always have access to a Windows computer, therefore I need to be able to enter my SPOService on my Macbook.
Are there any workarounds? Is there an SPOService powershell for Mac? If I have the pswh for Microsoft, why won't it let me into sharepoint?
Thank you in advance for any assistance
First, I can still not rename the domain, but I can help you with a general SharePoint update. It does not work either in Azure or on Mac OX X.
If you like to check, repeat the following steps on your computer setup, assuming you don't use a Windows Computer.
Check the availability of SharePoint
Get-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -ListAvailable | Select Name,Version
Install the module if missing
On a mac with the name of your user directory
Import-Module /Users/username/.local/share/powershell/Modules Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -Verbose
On Azure Powershell
Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -Verbose
You get a PowerShell via a one-month Test-Subscription.
Prepare your Admin URL
$AdminCenterURL="https://name_you_used_during_first_setup-admin.sharepoint.com"
Make sure you add "-admin" at the end of your domain name. You received this when you signed up. It is not the domain name you can use for your subscription later; it's, unfortunately, how Microsoft decided to implement it. Therefore, changing from Mac or Azure is not possible.
Connect to your side
Connect-SPOService -Url $AdminCenterURL -Credential (Get-Credential)
And now it will fail with
Connect-SPOService: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Win32.Registry' threw an exception.
Unfortunately, after exchanging many emails with Microsoft, I could not resolve this with the Support desk. However, the error seems to be known.
I wrote this note to allow others to save valuable time so that somebody would not waste his time if they tried to resolve it as I tried.
If like me, you are stuck with renaming the initial SharePoint subdomain, you currently have the following options.
Buy a Windows PC with a License or install a VM with a MS Windows trial license
Buy an Enterprise License, and use the Beta functionality.
Delete your subscription, but then you might lose the active licenses and the work you have put in already. But you can re-register, and this time put the name into the subscription, which you like to see as a subdomain of SharePoint. But you lose all work put in, in the first place.
I am writing an automation the deployes several machines and installs several programs on them.
One of the steps a user would do manually is logging off and on to a windows computer as part of an installation process.
Can someone please point me to relevant links so i can understand how to simulate a logging in process into windows without a gui?
I mean i need to make the machine think someone logged in to it and i am using only powershell.
launching mstsc does not do the trick because i cant overcome the request for certificate (I need an automatic process but i did not find a way to silence the certificate warning)
I searched for a couple of days and could not find what I was looking for.
Thank you for your help!
It's just an idea. Perhaps you can first make the image of the machines with automatic logon , install the software and finally remove the automatic logon ?
This link has details about Automatic Logon

We have a WCF service that generates an Excel file off of a template and feeds it back to the client in a byte array. For some reason, we are getting an error when we try to do this:
sheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader = sheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader.Replace("[customerName]", customerName).Replace("[dateTime]", date.ToShortDateString());
When it hits this line, we get this error message:
No printers are installed. To install a printer:
In Microsoft Windows 2000, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers. Double-click Add Printer.
In Microsoft Windows XP, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes. Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer.
Follow the instructions in the wizard.
The service runs under the LocalSystem account. When we first deployed this service, it was to an x64 machine and had the same issue. Our dev environment is x86 so we moved the service to another server that was x86 and it worked fine for a while. It recently stopped working and is now giving us this error message again. I am pretty sure it was becuase of a mass windows update that was done on the app server recently.
Funny thing is, I tried changing the service to "allow interaction with the desktop" and it didn't work, but when our sysadmin did that same thing, it worked for one file generation but is not working now.
There are printers installed on the machine, both on domain accounts and local accounts. I've also tried running the service under a different account, but then I wasn't able to connect to the service due to some SSPI error. We tried using the Network Service account but then the app couldn't see the service at all. We've restarted the service after each change also to no avail.
What I do know about the "PageSetup" part of the sheet object is that it needs to have a printer installed to access it at all, even if you aren't printing. I was unable to figure out a way to trick the machine into thinking the LocalSystem account has a printer installed.
We figured out the problem, I had my config file still pointed at the x64 server :(
As to why it won't work on x64 (to my knowledge) - since office 2003 is x86, it needs an x86 print spooler in order to work correctly. I don't know of any way to get an x86 print spooler on an x64 OS so we just stuck it on the x86 server.
#UPDATE:
OK FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO IS SEEKING ADVICE ON THIS ISSUE...
So far, the best thing I have found is to download yourself a copy of pGina and for 2k/XP modify the GINA, and for vista/win7 you will need to create custom login credentials (pGina have the tools/samples to interface with the Vista/Win7 architecture).
to confirm -- it appears that this is what Novell are doing with Vista/Win7 rather than the traditional method of replacing the GINA (like in 2k/XP)
If anyone else comes up with a way to run an application on the logon screen in Win7 please post it.
Ok I'm writing some vb6 software that requires input before the user logs on to the system.
Basically I want to run an application on the Windows logon screen where the user can interact with the program. At present I have the application running as a service allowing to interact with the desktop, but it is still now showing.
I know that "Allow service to interact with desktop" will work in Windows 2000 / XP, I'm running Windows 7 - I am also aware that services cannot directly interact with a user as of Windows Vista - saying this, are there any other methods to get my application running on the logon screen. Novell does it
Does anyone have any other ideas to get this working?
You can only do this if you are authenticating the credentials yourself. Prior to Vista, this was done via GINA, but since Vista, you need to write your own Credential Provider.
The reasons behind this are buried deep in the security principles -- Ctrl-Alt-Del will only ever bring up the window station associated with login (etc), and no other application can get to that window station (so you can't create a fake password box over the top to scrape passwords, for instance).
Without knowing why you think your service needs to interact with that desktop, it's difficult to advise further, but it might mean that your design is broken somehow.
Service isolation will probably prevent you doing this from a service.
Pre-vista Novell and the like would probably have used GINA, which was replaced in vista; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/magazine/cc163489.aspx
The only way I know of would be to write your own msgina.dll.
It can get dicey during testing though. Any mistakes can mess up your OS so bad that a complete reinstall becomes necessary.
