How to disable the SAP copyright popup for users logging on for the first time? - ui-automation

I'm load-testing SAP ERP(on hana) with rational performance tester.
As the copyright popup after the first SAP logon interferes with my test runs (1000 sap test-users of type service), I have to disable the notification for all these users, or system-wide.
I tried to set the last logon date from a default to a valid date but somehow the system still knows that its the user's first logon. How can I disable the notification?

I found out that it is not possible to disable the copyright notifications on first logon or logon with a new language.
However, the problem i was facing can be handled by recording a RPT test, where you only press the continue button of the copyright notification after the logon and then close the session (stop recording). Then you substitute the logon username with a datapool of all users you want to use and run the test against the system with the proper amount of virtual users. As long as you don't change the language every user should be free from the copyright popup in the future.

Use a global user to run reports across the enterprise

I have the following doubt, how recommendable it is to use a global user so that all the people in the company execute a report, I ask this because I am using rest_v2 and JasperReports Server 8.0.0 to generate reports, the problem is in the logoff, since although only run the report the user remains in session until his session on the server expires, so it occurred to me to keep a single user in session 24/7 and that with that user everyone executes their reports, this is a good or bad practice ?

How do I get Citrix Xendesktop to treat every client login as a unique Windows session?

I work at a moderately sized company and we currently have Citrix Xendesktop 7 tied in with our AD and domain. We have 25 clients we're having employees test right now via the Web Storefront.
Everyone can log in with their domain credentials fine enough, but the image treats every session as if it is a brand new Windows session whenever they first log in for the day (First-time user prompts for Adobe Acrobat, Word Processor, no initial file associations, etc).
Besides having everyone log directly into the main desktop image to save their profile, how would I go about configuring the applications so they don't treat everyone as a brand new user during each session? (I remember someone saying this could be accomplished through the registry settings but I couldn't pull the thread back up for reference).
I'd suggest Citrix UPM and use group policy for folder redirection. You may just need to configure the settings for your environment. You can then have mandatory or unique profiles set.

AHK script to login into Windows 7 system

I run a small internet cafe of 15 computers (Windows 7). I have created an admin account and a user account on all of them.
From my own machine at the cash counter, I wish to control login to user accounts on the above machines. (Customer comes, says will sit on system 5, i click a shortcut and system 5 logins with necc. details and customer goes and starts his work). How do I go about doing this?
I have explored Sendkeys, nirsoft's nircmd, powershell calls etc. Nothing seems to work. There are two screens involved. First is the MS logon pictures that need to be clicked, then the password screen followed by 'Enter'.
I am assuming I wish to send something like: AHK_myscript \system1 "user" "password"
Please let me what I need to get past these two screens. (Also have uVNC running, if it helps). Thanks in advance.

ActivIdentity ClientCache: Per Session v. Per Process

Please confirm that I understand these ActivIdentity concepts for a CAC correctly.
Per Session: User runs IE and hits an SSL webpage that requires CAC authentication. He authenticates and ... he's in. If the user opens up another tab (another process), and tries to access that same website, he'll be authenticated already. As a result, he won't need to re-authenticate.
Per Process: User opens first webpage via successful CAC PIN authentication (same as above). Now, when he opens up a new tab to access the SSL website, he'll need to re-authenticate since he's accessing a new process.
I assume you are referring to the ActivClient PIN caching settings?
Per session refers to entire Windows login session. Per process refers to each Windows process that is launched.
So, if PIN caching is set Per Session then, once you have entered the PIN for the card, it will be cached for 15 minutes (default) for any application which requests a card operation in that Windows session. Therefore the user will not be prompted for the PIN again for ANY application until the the PIN cache times out.
In Per Process mode the PIN is only cached for the process which requests it. For example; the users opens IE and logs into a CAC application using a PIN, the PIN is then cached for that particular IEXPLORE.EXE process for 15 minutes (default). If the user then opens Outlook, within the 15 minute window, and tries to sign an email using is card then he will have to enter the PIN as it is not cached for OUTLOOK.EXE. As each IE tab spawns a new process the principal should be the same.
The following is taken from the ActivClient admin guide:
ActivClient PIN cache can be configured to apply either per session (this refers to the
Windows session) or per process (this refers to a Windows process).
Per session mode (the default configuration) allows all the processes in the user’s
Windows session to share the same PIN cache (that is, user authentication is required
once for the entire session whatever the applications used during the session).
In per process mode, the PIN cache is separate for each Windows process (that is,
users need to enter their PIN at least once per process that will use the card).
In both modes, you can further customize the PIN cache behavior for specific
applications by using the Include list, Exclude list and Open card list

How do I get an error report from a "Please tell Microsoft about this" dialog?

A program I wrote crashes on startup. (Win XP).
A dialog "Please tell Microsoft about this problem." appears. I want to be told about the problem since it's my app.
Thing is, clicking through (clicking link: 'View the contents of the error report'), the "Error Report Contents" dialog doesn't let my customers copy its contents to the clipboard.
Do you know how a user can get a copy of this report to forward to me, the developer?
Don't worry. The developers can subscribe to WinQual. Microsoft will then forward the error reports to them.
Windows Error Reporting is part of Microsoft's Winqual service.
Sign up at the Winqual web site. Instead of just using a username/password to log in, you'll need to purchase an SSL certificate to identify yourself and your organization. This costs $99 if you only need the cert for identification purposes. If you also want to use it to sign code, it's $499.
Run the Microsoft Product Feedback Mapping Tool (available from the Winqual site) on a local copy of your application, and submit the results to the Winqual web site. This registers your application with Winqual.
From this point forward, any errors reported via Windows Error Reporting against your submitted applications are available to you if you log in to Winqual.
Use Alt-printscreen that grabs a copy of the active window, then paste it into word or something.
