AD users loose adminrights when offline

I have an environment with Mac laptops bound to AD, given localadmin rights through deploystudio. But apparently they loose their admin rights when they are no longer on our network. Can anybody help me?
Best,
Mads

Yep.  That is the side effect of the evolution of AD integration.  Many more things are live look ups.  Have you tried password protected screen savers yet?  Yep, live call to AD.  The reason this is failing is the domain users is an AD group and the system can not resolve the GUID without access to the domain.
In any case, there is a way around this but it is a little messy and it breaks the whole point of using the plug in to allow for a single point of control.  If you are using cached credentials, you should be able to add the user to the admin group.  Once again, this posses a number of problems as you are now injecting an AD user into a local account, you have no centralized method of removing admin rights from the user, and each machine requires a custom command (you need to issue the users shortname).
Now, you other option is to say, "it is a security implementation to prevent unauthorized access to the machine when it is not under the protection of out LAN."  Yep, line of garbage, but the real question is, why do they need admin rights?  If for installing software, that likely should not be up to them if you are enforcing a corporate standard.  I generally can't find a good argument for permitting admin rights.

  • Launching an AIR app from another (when offline)?

    I have a pair of AIR applications that are meant to work
    together as part of an application suite. One feature is that a
    user should be able to click a button in APP_1 and launch APP_2 (if
    installed). To do this I created a "LaunchButton.swf" that loads
    "air.swf". This works GREAT when the user is online and "air.swf"
    is able to be loaded from "
    http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi/air.swf".
    I tried to copy "air.swf" locally and use that instance but I am
    guessing that it doesn't work due to security restrictions.
    If there are any AIR engineers reading this (Oliver?) please
    let me know if there is a solution to "Launching an AIR app from
    another (when offline)?"
    Thanks!

    I think theoretically it shouldn't work, and doesn't by the
    response you give. Remember a functional work around isn't always a
    fix. What you've essentially done is loaded the air.swf into a
    sandbox bridge, bridging it between a web sandbox and an
    application sandbox, therefore you're able to call its methods
    without security errors. However, if the air.swf loads in another
    swf, maybe a helper swf, you won't be able to access any methods in
    that swf, neither will the air.swf. To my understanding, it's not
    grandfathered into the sandbox bridge, but retains its web sandbox.
    Before going crazy about the bad news I may have just given,
    wait until Ted returns to give you a response. I could be way off
    par here :) Good luck!

  • In app purchase validation when offline

    How can I validate access to additional content downloaded via in-app purchasing when the device is offline?  A user should still be able to access those resources when offline.  In theory a hacker could copy an app's additional resources purchased legally, including the plist file, from one device to another and then access those resources on an offline device without a problem.
    My initial thought was to encrypt with the user's apple id at purchase time, but I can't get access to it.  I can't use the device id, that prevents sharing over the cloud.  Just storing the transaction receipt is insufficient, that could be copied to the new device.
    I know the problem would only occur for an offline device so perhaps it is not considered to be a major issue, but I would like to protect this additional content.  All the examples I've seen seem to assume a device will be online.
    Would a plist file copied in this way from one device to another still be work?  If so, is there a recommended way to protect additional resources or am I being too paranoid?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    This was a bug, as the Beta certificate was never deployed to the server.  I have worked to get that added and now you should be able to use the sample code, as is, and download the certificate without receiving a 404.

  • I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

    I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly.  Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

    SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

    I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
    Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
    1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
    2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
    3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
    5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
    6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
    7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
    8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
    9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
    Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

  • Is there a way to have all (exchange) email on iPad even when offline?

    I would like to have access to my work (exchange) email when offline (travelling). Is there a way of keeping a selected amount on my iPad, not just the most recent items?

    Thanks. I was already aware of this setting.
    The issue is that I use a number of folders and unless I manually open each one a sync whilst online, when offline the only emails that are available are those from the last sync, e.g. there is no automatic, background synchronisation of folders not in use.
    Ideas?

  • In regard to Time Machine. I have two accounts one is an admin account, the other is a standard user account. When I implement Time Machine when I am logged into the Admin account, is the standard user also backed up?

    in regard to Time Machine.
    I have two accounts on one Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. One account is an admin account, the other is a standard user account.
    When I initially implemented Time Machine I was logged into the Admin account. I allowed Time Machine to erase the drive and backup the computer. Is the standard user account contents also backed up?
    Also after I completed the Time Machine backup session, I turned off Time Machine and removed the portable hard drive. I plan to return in to Time Machine after being away from the portable hard drive for approximately a month. After a short interruption of approximately one month, when the Macbook Pro is reconnected and Time Machine is turned back on, will Time Machine create a new instance of a backup? WIll the back up contain the standard user account changes?

    Time Machine backs up by default all the user accounts.
    When you reconnect the backup drive after one month, Time Machine will do an incremental backup and it might take a while minutes to hours depending on how much has been changed. With a gap of a month, Time Machine will have to do a lengthier than normal survey of both drives to see what has changed, so it might take some time preparing for the backup. The backup will include everything that has changed since the previous one.

    HI,
    The simple shortest answer is that you can't (Change a Buddy's settings)
    From your own end you can reply to the first Off Line IM you get on an AIM login (an accompanying IM for AIMSysMessage asks if you want them to Continue - replying No stops them)
    IF you have stopped Off Line IMS than you can reset this at AIM Settings
    You can log in here with AIM and Apple IDs that end in @mac.com and @me.com  (iCloud issued @me.com name are an Exception)
    In addition the Setting in iChat > Preferences > General Section that refers to setting the Status to Off Line on Quit stops the App starting up if iChat is not launched but the computer is ON

  • User authantication error when we try to connect to a backend system

    Hi,
    We have a stand alone webdynpro application where in we are calling some rfc function modules. We have imported the models using jco connection in a development system by providing the system/user info. When we deploy and run the application in the development system the application works fine. But when we deploy the application in different test systems it fails with user authantication error while triggering those rfc function modules. Can any one help us how we can identify the problem?
    We basically dont know with what system/user information its trying to connect to back end.
    Kind Regards,
    Prakash

    Hi Prakash,
    THere can be Multiple reasons for this problem
    1.if you are using JCO connections with UID/Password authomtication,make sure that Connection is working properly by testing it in Web dynpro console administrator.
    2.if you are using SSO authontication mechanism in your JCO Connections,make sure that you have UID in the back end system(BAckend Quality system) and your portal system is connected to Backend quality sytems using SSO.
    hope this helps
