In this post, we learnt the reasons behind this error and discussed some methods to get rid of it. In the end, we also came across a software that can help you get your lost data back safely. We hope the methods mentioned in this post helped you resolve the error and install the updates smoothly.

If you enable this policy setting, any certificate with an SHA1 thumbprint that matches a thumbprint on the list is trusted. If a user tries to start an .rdp file that is signed by a trusted certificate, the user does not receive any warning messages when they start the file. To obtain the thumbprint, view the certificate details, and then click the Thumbprint field.

You can define this policy setting in the Computer Configuration node or in the User Configuration node. If you configure this policy setting for the computer, the list of certificate thumbprints trusted for a user is a combination of the list defined for the computer and the list defined for the user.

I found out the hard way that you have to remove all spaces and convert all letters to uppercase for the thumbprint to be valid. You are not informed if the format you enter is incorrect, it is just silently ignored if not recognized as a valid thumbprint.

If this Group Policy setting is not in effect, either because you have not set it or the thumbprint is incorrect/invalid, your users will get a warning when connecting, even if the certificate used to sign the .rdp file is trusted:

It is interesting to note that the rdpsign.exe command line utility that is used to sign .rdp files manually, requires that the thumbprint of the certificate must be provided in just this way: -us/library/cc753982(WS.10).aspx

If you look at the highlighted/selected thumbprint in the image above you will see what looks like a leading whitespace. If you select the whole string (not as above), you will get a strange leading character in your thumbprint. Have a look at this zoomed image:

On one system I experienced an error when trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1; An unknown error has occurred; error code 0x800f0818. I ran the SUR Tool and it detected an error in the %SYSTEMROOT%ServicingPackages folder, which it was able to repair. After that SP1 installed successfully.

One strange thing to note in this case was that I was installing SP1 through Windows Update, and both SP1 and the SUR tool were selected for install. For some reason the SP1 install ran first and failed, then the SUR tool ran and repaired the error that prevented the Service Pack from installing. Should have been the other way around.

I am in the process of setting up a new computer and part of that means moving all my VMs. I use the export and then import feature in VirtualBox to do this. After I moved a Windows XP machine it would not boot on the new PC, and kept bluescreening continuously. This was the error:

According to Ben this driver; intelppm.sys, processr.sys and perhaps also p3.sys can cause problems when they try to do something that is not supported by the hypervisor. Apparently the problem affects Microsoft products such as Virtual PC and Virtual Server as well. There is also a ticket logged for VirtualBox regarding this issue:

Windows 7 has a new framework; the Windows Sensor and Location Platform. In short it is a system that enables the OS to utilize different sensors; e.g. a GPS device to track your location, a light sensor to dynamically adjust your screen brightness based on the ambient lighting, an accelerometer to use for games etc. I want to focus on GPS in this post.

Up until now; the usual way to connect a GPS device to your computer was for it to emulate a COM port and then send standard NMEA GPS data to the port at a specified baud rate. This worked OK in my opinion, but with the new framework the GPS device, or sensor, is exposed directly to the OS. No more intermediary COM ports. This works the same for any sensor, by the way.

If you do not own a GPS device but still play around with the location functionality, you can try the GeoSense application. What GeoSense does is that it uses a hybrid mix of geolocation service providers and geolocation methods to pinpoint your location as accurately as possible. It currently supports Google Location Services (WiFi) and Google Location Services (IP), with several more under consideration. GeoSense is written natively for the Sensor and Location Platform so you just have to install it to use it.

GPS is just one of many applications of the new framework. Especially for games I think we will see a whole new group of controllers that utilize the new API. One example of this is a driver written by Rajasekharan Vengalil, that lets you use the Nintendo Wiimote with Windows 7! Check it out here.
