I sometimes disparage the webbernets without remember some of the best things I’ve ever experienced in my life were brought to me by a series of tubes:

Anything and everything I write that has something to do with tech. Maybe it’s a post about the time I blew up that server in 2003 because I didn’t know what bridged networking really meant. Sorry Roger!
Workaround for OpsMgr Agent event id 1220 and 7022 if deployed from image
If you are like me and love deploying systems from an image, you have may have experienced a problem when having the Operations Manager agent installed on the image, and after deployment and a rename of the server, you end up with event id’s 1220 and 7022 in your Operations Manager event log every 30 minutes.
The reason for this issue is the Operations Manager certificate for this computer still has the original image build’s server name on it.
To fix this:
- Stop the Operations Manger Health Service
- Open up an MMC and openthe certificates snap-in for “Local Computer”
- Navigate to Certificates -> Operations Manager -> Certificates
- and delete the certificate with the original build’s name
- Restart the Operations Manager Health Service.
This fix may not be the best way to solve this issue, but I have not done a thorough web search for better solutions yet. If no one else has this documented somewhere, the steps could easily be scripted, and if I don’t find a better solution I will post the eventual script for this once I have it done.
Need to transfer FUTURA AUTOPUNCH to a new computer but have lost your CD key
If you need to transfer the FUTURA AUTOPUNCH software to a new computer but have lost your CD key, you can use the following instructions to bypass the CD key requirements page and use Autopunch on your new computer. These instructions assume you still have access to your old installation.
1. Install the Futura software that came with your sewing machine on the new computer
2. Install the Autopunch software
3. Browse to the installation path of the software, default is C:\FUTURA, and rename it to C:\FUTURA.OLD
4. Copy the entire installation directory of your old computer’s FUTURA installation to the new computer. The destination of this folder should be the new install path prior to renaming it in step 3. i.e. C:\FUTURA
5. Launch the Futura software and verify there is no CD key requirement screen presented
6. Verify you can access Autopunch by selecting it from the CREATE menu
7. Delete the FUTURA.OLD directory created in step 3.
Most likely the CD key has actually been hashed and stored in a single file within the C:\FUTURA directory, but I didn’t take the time to see which of the 573 file it actually is.
This process was tested and verified with version 1.0.0.3 on Windows XP. The same process was functional for an installation on Vista after installing the Vista upgrade patch found on the Futura website.
