Layer Priority Utility

[Jerred Metts]

Layer Priority defines the order in which layers are searched for a file or registry settings when using elastic layers or the order layers are merged in creating a disk image.

Should this utility work with 4.5? It is rejecting my root pw but I can SSH to the appliance with the account.

I got it to work but disabling inheritance didn't help. What finally did it was NOT running as administrator. Tried on another system as well and it worked right away when I ran normally. 

 

Thanks for the recommendations!

Hi Jerred,

I'm getting a "A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly" warning message after typing the root password and hitting the Save button.

 

Any workaround for this?

 

Thanks

I heard someone was having an issue with  the utility and an error.  When you run this make sure you run "As Administrator" and you need to be an Administrator on the machine you run it on.

Looks like plink was hanging in the background not accepting the cert on my appliance. After closing the hung processes and manually accepting the cert the utility is working for me.

Is there an updated version of this utility? I've used it in the past but it's not working for me anymore. On the setup tab when trying to save I'm getting "Plink Initialization failed. Please Try saving again."

[Rob Zylowski1709158051]

Did you "Run As Administrator"?

[Brandon Beck1709158164]

Yes, running as administrator 

[Rob Zylowski1709158051]

If you run putty to the ELM address it will add the server fingerprint and do the same thing as the plink initialization.   So you can try that just make sure its the same exact hostname you use in setup and putty.

After connecting with Putty it asks if I want to cache the key. After clicking yes I can see the key cached in the registry at HKCU\Software\SimonTatham\Putty\SshHostKeys.

 

Next I ran the hta, as administrator, and tried to save again. I'm getting the same error and when I check the registry the cached key is gone.

[Brandon Beck1709158164]

I also tried to just run "Get OS Layers" after caching the key with Putty instead of updating the password again. This results in the script error below.

Brandon on 2016 I always have to disable inheritance on the folder i create for the utility then change the permissions to allow full control and therefore writes to the utility folders.  This may be causing the issue you are seeing.

[Rob Zylowski1709158051]

Thanks for letting me know Brandon i should have known that :)

Good Evening,

 

I am having problems with this utility. I have run as myself (administrator) and as an administrator. I removed inheritance and gave myself and administrator full control over the folder. I am able to run a putty session and log in with root. I am still getting

ELM Password Test Failed
Please try again

 

I am using elm 20.5.0.1008

 

Any help would be great,

Thanks,

Chris
