My laptop started to got blue screen and now I cannot make it run without the BitLocker recovery key. Looks like this key was assigned when registered the laptop to AAD but I can't find it here (I can see the BitLocker of other colleagues). Basically I need to know is there is way to get back this key from somewhere to avoid to lost all my laptop data, any suggestion will be helpful. Thanks!

I have an inventory tracking Access database where a user should be able to open the "Edit Inventory" table, and edit the on-hand values of items in our department. However, the computer that uses this the most is now displaying a message of "This dataset is not updatable." I tried to edit the data from my computer as well as another user, both of which worked just fine. I checked to make sure the mapping of this computer was correct, and it is.
I am by far no expert on Access. This database pre-dates me and the creator has since retired.
That being said, I am wondering if it has to do with how this computer is logged into. Because it is a shared computer, it has very limited access to tools--it is basically only used for this inventory file. Because of the shared status, every time I open access, it asks the user to log into Microsoft, which we then skip because there is no shared Microsoft account. We log into this computer using "computername[departmentname]." I checked the client settings to ensure everything was shared and no locking was occurring. This just began occurring 2 days ago, so it is a very new issue that came up out of the blue.
Any advice or ideas is appreciated! Thank you in advance!
I work for an MSP, We have a client that wants us to add a third DC to their production domain. We didn't build the domain. The previous admin gave us three or four different passwords to try.
When I did this, I put the password in, the DC joined the domain as a computer, but was not listed as a DC. Running DCDIAG showed access errors on some of the tests.
I then powered off one of the existing DCs, and demoted the third DC, removed it from the domain.
Is there anyway to non-destructively test the other passwords to see if they work. I am just afraid that I will screw something up with the adding and subsequent removal of a planned AD.
I find it rather odd that the DCPROMO process completed with an incorrect password. One would think that that would be tested before anything else was done.
Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Domain Admin rights should be fine for promoting the server.
Leave the two DCs online.
Domain join the new server.
Run Install-ADDSDomainController.
I started working for a company in the field service industry. We have a program and client database build in Access. As of right now, they are scheduling their service calls in a notebook. I am trying to get this company into this era by having a web-based scheduling software.
I have basic schooling networking but I am not a programmer nor do I know Access. I have learned how to split the database and create a multi-user environment and converted it to accdb from mdb to work with Access 2013 instead of 2003 in which it was written. These steps have greatly helped but I am not sure where to go from here.
My next step is the scheduling software but the company's greatest concern is the protection of their client database. Not from outside hackers but there is always a concern of employees selling our client list to our competitors. Also, at this time, employees do not have web access for this reason, which they will need.
Is there any way to keep the accdb file from being sent via email etc. or copied to external media? If I set up permissions through the OS, won't that make the client files uneditable (for lack of a better word) in Access? Like address/tele # changes or notes? I'm not even sure what to even search for help.
Thank in advance for your time
I understand that Access 2013 can be installed on a Server 2008 R2 or 2012 server. Put a password on the database. That should keep hackers out, and as far as keeping employees out of the data that they shoudn't be in, I know the navigation bar can be hidden, but it is unfortunately able to be viewed again by the F11 key. It would've been nice if MS could have made the navigation bar ability an easy option (yes or no), and make it modifyable in VBA....They may have. Keeping users out of raw data is something I have yet to figure out too....
I'm a novice at this stuff, but I was able to write code, and a login screen of my own so that users can have their own login ID, and a password (or phrase), and enable them to change their own password if they forget it, or if they just just to change it. You can make the navigation bar disappear by the VBA code: DoCmd.LockNavigationPane True...but unfortunately F11 can re-enable it.
Hope this helps....
The Access database just needs to be open and it will usually crash within the next 20-40mins, resulting in the following error message:
Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.
More details:
The database is split, with the back end and front end on a server. The computers are then connected to the server via LAN (ethernet).
Although there are multiple computers connected to the server, the database only has one user at a time.
The database has been fine for almost a year, until this week where this error has started occurring.
We never have connectivity issues with the server.
I have seen several answers saying it is:
the databases fault, as it is starting to corrupt
the servers fault, as it broken, dropping my connection briefly
microsofts fault, they should patch it
I am hoping this is a problem with the database itself, as I am not responsible for the server.
Does anyone have a definitive solution?
I have recently experienced the same problem, and it all started when I moved my DB in an extrernal disk. The same db was working just fine in the local disk, or in the previous external disk. So, i am guessing is just a bug that has to do with the disk letter changing or something like this.
The problem sounds like an unstable LAN connection OR changes the LAN location (e.g. new hardware or changs to admin settings) causing increased latency.
If you have forms in the FE bound to BE tables the latency can cause the connection to be severed resulting in the error you see.
I'm not a network admin but the main culprits I've seen are:
Users connecting to the network using a VPN using an unstable connection (cell phones, crappy wifi, or just bad ISP service).
Network admins capping persistent connections to a share causing disconnects.
Unstable network hardware or bad hardware configuration.
"Switching" between wired and wireless LAN connections.
I don't think the issue is the database other than having bound forms to a BE database which is more of a fundemental design problem than anything else.
Good luck!
I use Access 2010. I had the same issue but solved it in the following ways.
On the external data ribbon, go to the Import & link group and click on Linked Table Manager.
Click on select all.
Click on Ok to refresh the links.
In cases where the path of the BackEnd database file has been changed, browse to the new location and select the new path. This will also refresh the links. This will solve the problem. It did for me.
You wrote, "The database has been fine for almost a year, until this week where this error has started occurring."
Clearly something has recently changed for this to be happening and without narrowing the field of possibilities it's anyone's guess. However, in my experience Jet DB crashes when two or more users are accessing and editing the same record(s) at the same time. So, if you've recently added new users this is a possibility.
Note: Jet is a file-server DB not a client server, which means the app was probably designed for a specific number of front-end users. Without knowing more I would start there.
I resolved my issue on this when I figured out that I had a offline directory setup and the sync was having an issue I turned off the sync and tested it and the error went away.
Consider that i have connected to multiple shares of a remote machine( \\machineA\share1, \\machineA\share2....) along with shares on other remote machines.
Now my question is how to find only those shares which are connected to a particular machine. For eg, only those shares which are connected to machineA.
I already came across WNetOpenEnum and WNetEnumResource. But these are highly inefficient that they will return all shares which are connected to my machine and then i will have to search through the results for the shares connected to machineA:(
I need to know if there is some other function, using which i can find the share.
I am working on VC++ 6.0.
edit: Hey guys having another trouble. Whenever i try to connect to a share on the machine i get the following error:
"The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to"
Has anyone encountered this problem and how was it solved
To resolve your lockout problem, log onto a the target server (Or, if it's on a domain, log onto any domain controller on that domain), go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users & Computers, navigate to the User you're logging in as, and unlock it.
If the system is not on a domain, simply log onto it and unlock the account via the "Local users & Groups" tool in compmgmt.msc.
Iterating through all shares and only picking the ones you want, to me, looks as efficient as it gets. Is there some circumstance why you can't do it? (except laziness ;))
foreach (string systemName in systemNames)
System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories("\\"+systemName+"\");
