How to control and manage several microsoft accounts and have control

Windows 8 has brought many unique challenges, and very few IT people seem to be able to answer questions like this.
I  am a mechanical engineer for a small company who wishes to install Windows server2012 on a new server with new laptops for each user, and some users are intended to have windows tablets in addition to having laptops.
We have written policy in place with regard to using office equipment only for business use, not personal, and that all information is confidential, and only free applications may be downloaded or else they will be paid for by the company for all
who require to use them, so there are no issues with regard to who owns what.
Please reply to the question below in simple language, I understand computers and software and how they work, but I am not an IT guy, and our company cannot afford to employ a permanent IT person, so I need to be able to ensure that certain controls
are in place and effected properly by the IT contractor we employ.
The company must at all times have control over and access to all data on laptops and the server, as it is all intellectual property of the company. How do we create Microsoft accounts that allow us to remain in control despite employees using their
mail address and personal pin numbers as an alias to operate ?

Hi,
As I know, SCOM (system Center Operations Manager) can do some monitor jobs which is close to your goal. It is a cross-platform data center management system for operating systems and hypervisors. It uses a single interface that shows state,
health and performance information of computer systems. It also provides alerts generated according to some availability, performance, configuration or security situation being identified.

    my phone damage my housing  how to change ,and have warranty

    The warranty is voided by physical damage to the phone. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple in countries where it's offered for US$269. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store or contact Apple Care.

  • How to animate and have the background stay the same.

    Hello, I don't post much. But I have a question that's bugging me. I want to create an animation and have the background stay. How do I do this? I have tried locking the object and puting it on its own layer, but it doesn't work. Animating in AI is new to me.

    How, exactly, are you "animating"?
    If you are exporting Layers to SWF Frames, the export dialog provides a field in which you can select a specific Layer to serve as a static image. See online Help.

  • How can I manage several itunes accounts on only one iPhone4S?

    I don't want to get illegaly some applications from my friends or collegues itunes account.
    In fact, my company decided to give me an iPhone4S for a professional usage and it is strongly recommended to not use my personal itunes account.
    (I had already an iPhone 4 for personal usage)
    So I created a new iTunes account, dedicated to professional usage. Now, I need to download on my professional iPhone business applications that I have bought with my personal itunes account.
    I hope that it's a common problem with iPhone in the enterprise and that somebody has found the solution...
    Thanks for your help. 

    This is a good opportunity to have a User Account for each of your family members.  And each User Account can login iTunes with their desired Apple ID.
    You can set this up from the Apple Logo > System Preferences > Users & Groups. 

  • Managing several skype accounts under one icon in the dock

    Our family has four skype accounts.   Can you tell me how i can manage them, as I can't seem to get them under one icon in the doc (just choosing at the time which account needed). (MAC users)  thanks

    you're not alone. my ical dock was also buggy. when it was closed it displayed the date that was one earlier than the current date in the menu bar. and when i opened, ical, it displayed the current date. i removed the icon and then replaced it like you did and it fixed the bug (that was really annoying me).
    i had a clean install of Leopard, don't know if you did upgrade or clean install.

  • How to design and have universal color correctness?

    I designed a label using Illustrator and Photoshop, but when I got it printed, the color came out different than the onscreen visual. How can I avoid having to adjust everything? I want to be able to take it anywhere and print it and it come out how I designed it.

    Hi Saravanan,
    In your view, you have to add the UI element TabStrip. You will have an empty tab strip then. Right click on the tab strip, and add a 'Tab'. Continue in this manner to add as many tabs as you want. Each tab will have a header, specify the tab title in that.
    Now go to each tab, right click and insert element. You could insert any element like a table, Input fields etc. Event handling has to be done separately for these elements. At the tabstrip level, you need to handle only the onTabSelect event. This is the event triggered when you change tab selection in the tabstirp. In the properties of the tab strip, there will be a field selectedTab. Specify the ID of the tab which you want as selected. This will be your initial selection.
    You can also enable and disable tabs, say grey out tabs that have no data etc. All this can be done by context attribute binding.
    You can also refer to the view  by name TABSTRIP in the component WDR_TEST_EVENTS.
    Regards,
    Uday

  • Managing Microsoft Accounts in a Small Business

    Windows 8.1 pcs and tablets suggest that users "sign in with your Microsoft Account". This is so their settings can sync between devices.
    How do I centrally manage and administer these Microsoft Accounts? with Windows Intune? is there another way?

    There is no central management for Microsoft Accounts. It would be nice if there was. However, they're supposed to be semi-personal.

  • How do I transfer files from one account to another?

    I did a PC to Mac migration and that was transferred successfully. Now, though, I want to transfer the files brought over from my PC (that are now on another account on my Mac) to my main account. I searched for a solution and found that I should be able to do it through my shared folder, but my other account is not showing up in my shared folder so I'm not sure how to go about this. Thanks

    Any account should have access to the Shared folder:
    It's outside of any user's home directory and should be accessible from any account. If you're having problems, call back...

  • A suggestion for the mouse setting through persistence via SkyDrive/OneDrive: Add a check button to let the user tell if the mouse settings should be "restored" every time the user logs in a "different" computer using the same Microsoft Account.

    Every time I log in one of my 2 computers with Microsoft Account, I have to change the main button (left/right) setting, because the settings persistence via SkyDrive/OneDrive.
    I have different main mouse button settings in the computers.
    Those settings shouldn't be changed, if the account is not a new one, after all, if the user has different settings in old accounts, it means there must be a reason to do it (because of hardware and/or furniture restriction).
    Thus, a check button in the mouse settings' window that let the user tell if it should be changed or not would be welcomed.

  • How can I manage several ID on my computer, one for my iPhone and another one for the iPad of the family?

    Hi everybody
    Just have bought an ipad2 and i would like to manage several IDs on my computer (i.e keep my iPhone ID and create another one for the ipad to manage apps for my iPhone (4) and the apps for the iPad).
    How can I resetup the iPad to create that new ID on itunes?
    Thanks for your help
    Jp

    If you have separate iTunes accounts for the two devices then you'll need to buy 2 copies of any app that you want on both device - you can't copy or move apps from one account to another (they are tied to the account that bought/downloaded them). If you want to reset the iPad then logout of the account on it (Settings > Store and tap the id on the right-hand side) and then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings will reset it back to factory defaults.
    You may want to consider one of three options mentioned on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

  • My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything?

    My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.

    Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

  • I'm managing several devices from my itunes account.  If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices and itunes?

    I'm managing several devices from my itunes account.  If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices as well as in itunes?

    Ok, thanks!  I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products.  Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.
