How could something like CRUD be desirable? In Group Policy world, even the impossible becomes possible. In this entry, you’ll discover why Red does not mean Error and what the different colors mean when you make a Preference item. Read on!

Let’s talk about some of the intricacies of Preferences, specifically what we fondly refer to as CRUD options. Now, keep in mind, CRUD only applies to “stuff”, meaning things you can create and delete on the client, like mapped drives and shortcuts and printers. There are no CRUD options for things you just make changes to but don’t create, like “folder options”. More on this at the end.

Despite it’s unfortunate acronym, CRUD is very useful. It is also the reason those little spots of color get associated with you new Preference items. Select one of the four actions from the drop down menu to choose between Create, Replace, Update, and Delete. That decides how your Preference item will be pushed onto the client. Let’s take drive mappings as an example.

This is the Preference item

(in UI)                                                                                             (in XML)

Now, under the “Action” drop down, you have four options :  Create, Replace, Update, Delete

Create – If a drive mapping doesn’t exist for this user for the share “\\share\userDocuments\”,  then create one. If there already is one, don’t do anything! It’s a kind, gentle sort of policy, it won’t overwrite anything you already have, so it has a Green icon associated in the UI.

Replace – Remove whatever drive mapping exists for this share, and create a new one with these settings. If there isn’t one, just create it. No matter what, you’re getting this drive mapping, whether something existed there or not. It’s very insistent, like the bully of the CRUD options, so it gets a Red icon. 

Update – Yellow – If that drive mapping exists, it will be updated with the settings specified here. If there are other settings associated with the drive mapping that aren’t specified here, they will be maintained. If no drive mapping exists for this share, create it. Nothing gets blasted away like with the Replace setting, but there is still a chance that you’ll overwrite something, so it gets a Yellow icon (warning! make sure you know what you’re going to be over-writing!).

Delete – X mark – If that drive mapping exists, it will be removed. That’s it, it’s just removed, so it gets an ‘x’ icon. It does not roll back, it gets deleted.

What did we learn? Red does not mean error! X marks the (delete) spot. Another picky note is that if you choose the “remove when no longer applicable” option under the common tab, it’ll force the CRUD action to Replace.

So, really, I’d recommend reading the help associated with each Preference item to make sure you know what you’re doing. 

Hope that helps!

P.S. The end! Here’s more on my stuff vs. state discussion. Stuff means something that can be created or deleted on the client machine / user account. Think of at is as something you can see appear. It has a new icon that becomes associated with it: when you add a new printer, an icon appears that looks like that printer in your Devices window. When you add a shortcut to the desktop, that shortcut appears. Similarly, when you remove a local security group, it is gone, the icon is removed, the group no longer exists. That doesn’t mean that not all local security groups are gone, just that instance of one. 

State is a state of being, like folder options. You can’t “create” a folder options, but you can make changes like “Show all hidden files”.

GP Preferences has both of these types of things, but CRUD only applies to the stuff bits. You can’t configure CRUD for state, and the UI isn’t there to let you try.

P.P.S. Here’s the help in the product:

DFU means Device Firmware Update. If a restore using Recovery Mode doesn’t work you will want to use DFU Mode as a last resort. When placing your iPhone into DFU Mode it does not load the OS before attempting the restore

To put the iPhone into DFU mode so you can do an iTunes firmware restore follow these steps:
Step One
Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your Mac.

Step Two
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.

Step Three
After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

The iPhone screen will remain black like this:

NOTE***: It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Home button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long!

[Today’s post comes to us courtesy of the SBS SE Team]

This article lists the known issues and their workarounds after installing IE 8 on your Small Business Server and the on your Vista clients.  This article is for test purposes only.  Installing beta products in a production environment is not recommended or supported by PSS.

There will be some known issues after you install IE 8 on Small Business Server 2008 or your Vista clients:

1. A dialog will pop up for authentication when visiting http://companyweb through IE 8, which will block you from visiting http://companyweb.
2. You are not able to sign into your Office Live website.
3. On a Vista client, clicking the SBS gadget to open a flyout will close the SBS gadget if a flyout is already displayed.

A dialog will pop up for authentication when visiting http://companyweb through IE 8, which will block you from visiting http://companyweb

1. On the SBS 2008 server, when using IE8 to access http://companyweb you will be prompted for credentials. If you click cancel you can neither access http://companyweb nor provide credentials again.
2. If you input correct credential information and click “OK”, the credential box will open again, then you click OK or re-provide the credential, but the credential box still pops up. During this time, any click cancel will cancel this visit. After the third time you click OK or provide the credential, you finally got a 401 unauthorized error in IE.

To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Enable Negotiate (Kerberos) option for Sharepoint 3.0

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, Click SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration, and then click Continue on the User Access Control Dialogue.
2. In the Authentication Providers page, Click Application Management, and then click the "Authentication providers" under the "Application Security" tab
3. Check the Web Application, make sure the port is 987; otherwise change web application to the URL which has the port 987
4. Click the "Default" zone, you will go to the Edit Authentication page;
5. Check the Negotiate(Kerberos) option under the Integrated Windows authentication tab;
6. Click OK in the Dialog which gives a warning that "You have chosed to use Kerberos with Integrated Windows authentication. Manual configuration steps by a domain administrator will be required if the application pool’s security account is not the Network Service" and then click Save;

Method 2: This issue will be fixed in upcoming update rollup for SBS 2008; you can download and install it from Microsoft Update when it is available.

You are not able to sign into your Office Live Website

1. After you set up Microsoft Office Live Small Business Web sites in the Home Page of Windows SBS Console
2. Go to “Shared Folders and Web Sites” Page in SBS Console; try to browse to the Business Web Site under Office Lie Small Business Websites by using IE 8;you will see the sign in office live website is blocked due to Java script is disabled in IE 8 by default;
3. To enable Java Script in IE 8, you need to follow this KB http://support.microsoft.com/gp/howtoscript

In Vista, clicking the SBS gadget to open a flyout will close the SBS gadget if a flyout is already open

1. Join a Vista client to Small Business Server 2008 domain.
2. In the Vista client, add Small Business Server Gadget to the desktop sidebar.
3. Click "Organization links" to open its flyout In the Small Business Server Gadget.
4. Click "Administration links" to open another flyout In the Small Business Server Gadget.
5. You will see Small Business Server gadget is closed.
6. To visit the SBS gadget, you need to add Small Business Server Gadget to the desktop sidebar in the Vista Client again.
7. To avoid this issue you should not open 2 flyouts at once.
