There seems to be a problem with the image iso for IBMs , the Lenovo M77 and M78 Image . It boots but then some files missing so it can´t install. Tried downloading twice and same result. I ended up trying the newer Lenovo M79 and M73 Image and that works well on the older PC. Sophos is preinstalled on that image by the way.
But does anyone know the password for Administrator? the LocalClerk is [redacted] but I can´t seem to find the one for Administrator account.
Cheers,
Help with re-image

Re: Help with re-image
As this is a public forum, if you can please remove any passwords from your post.
The LocalClerk is an administrator account, so it isn't necessary to know the Administrator account password. As far as I know, us mere mortals don't have that password anyway.

Re: Help with re-image
oh, yes , my mistake. It is an admin account. Slip of the tongue!
But still, it bothers me a bit that there is another admin there and I can't get in to that one. Does anyone know reasons why? or better still can anyone send me the password that is used for that admin via private message please?

Re: Help with re-image
The way that many Windows 7 installs work is that they create an internal "Administrator" account - and you won't know the password. (In those cases, it wont even let you create an account called "Administrator".) I think it keeps it in reserve for itself when you do a "run as Administrator" function.

Re: Help with re-image
Yes, true, but it was enabled already on the image downloaded from the lds newtech's site. However in all the installs I've done , I would normally set that internal Administrator password, or usually leave it blank. Problem now is that if I ever do have to run the pc as Administrator, ie using that ´Administrator´ account, I wont be able to get passed the password -without resorting to a ntpasswd cd or something on hiren/falcon4 off course.
As for now, I can see on all the pc´s i installed that image on here in church, the 'Administrator'(unknown password), the 'LocalClerk' (admin too and I have that password) and guest account without any password. So , again, if it is available somewhere can someone let me know?

Re: Help with re-image
What you do is create a "Stake Admin" so there's a backup admin in case someone changes and forgets the "LocalClerk" one. As for the "Administrator" account, don't worry about it.

Re: Help with re-image
Hi. Is there a link somewhere for a win7 clerk image in Spanish? for clerk pc's in Argentina?
So far I've reimaged two PC that needed it urgently but both are in English (location and currency I've changed to spanish off course) but help files, menu and so on are all in English.
I downloaded the image from the tech site at, in english:
https://www.lds.org/help/support/meetin ... s?lang=eng , then Reimaging local computers , because the equivalent site in Spanish doesn't have a link for Reimaging local pc's, ie at:
https://www.lds.org/help/support/meetin ... s?lang=spa
pd there's no rush now, they can use those pc's with win7 in English however it would be better to eventually have an Spanish image available to download.

It looks like you can download language packs for Windows 7 here.
MLS has a couple different settings to change the language.

.
The language pack isn´t the full solution though because the base isn´t localized, ie it will still have a Start button instead of ´Inicio´, or Control Panel instead of ¨Panel Control¨ and so on. Language pack are only the regional packs for currency , dates etc...

Re: Help with re-image
As far as I'm aware, Windows 7 Enterprise is used mainly for FHC computers. It might also be used in other areas of the Church.c.cordoba wrote:

Certainly for all the Clerk computers, the image made available is Windows 7 Professional. It would seem that if W7 Enterprise was installed on your computer. It is the wrong operating system.
By mistake, last year our replacement Clerk computers were supplied with the W7 FHC image. Is this what has happened to you?
I had over 15 computers to reimage, which was a logistics nightmare, to rectify.
