re: The Case Of… Windows 7 Network Connections empty folder

Renaming HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\Config worked for me. Running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 on a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.

Note: I modified the REG_MULTI_SZ value to the proper format but that did not resolve the issue.

Thanks for the tips all.

Here is one additional note: the bcdedit command works on the file \Boot\BCD

on the ACTIVE partition. If the active partition is not the Win8 partition, then

bcdedit will give the error "....could not be opened" even if you are in an

Administrative cmd prompt. Reset the active partition to the win8 partition,

then boot win8 and bcdedit works as expected. For example, if you use

grub or other bootloader, you might not have the active partition be the win8

partition. Windows8 "repair" option on the win8 DVD also requires that

the partition to repair is the active partition. Good luck!

Can this be used with Office 365?

How do you locate the object DN that sync engine assigns to the object when it is not filtered out? Is there a log that you can turn on?

I get the same result as phanny. I run bcdedit form an elevated command prompt. I see the result "The entry was successfully copied to {[GUID}]." Unfortunately it never appears in msconfig.exe.
