Admin and Guest account internet

Hello,
I have a little bit of a problem. I have two accounts; one is an Admin account and the other one is a Guest account. When I use the Admin account, I can connect to the internet with no problems. But when I use the Guest account, I can't connect to the internet. The Admin and Guest accounts are connected to same network.

You should not be using the Guest account. The Guest account is a limited system account intended for users who log into your computer from a remote connection. The only account with which you will get Internet access is your Admin account.

Disabling Right Click Menus for Network Magic's System Tray Icons for Standard and Guest Accounts

OK, so I want to know how to disable the right click menus for Network Magic's system tray icons only for Vista's standard and Guest accounts? I don't want other users signed in as a Standard account or guest account having the ability to disable the system tray icons for network magic.

Hi, currently it's not possible to disable NM from being accessed by a Limited user account, but that is a good idea.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

RADIUS and Guest accounts

I have a Mac Pro OSX server 10.6 (OD Master) and RADIUS enabled for my (older) Airport station.
Macbooks login to the domain, no problems so far.
Now and then a (Windows) Guest (not a member of our domain) walks in and wants to surf the web.
Is something like that possible?
I configured a GUEST computer and Guest account in WM and guests can surf the web when connected to our switch by cable.
Allowed user for RADIUS Service = 'All users and groups' but I can't get wireless connection going

What would be the best way to take care of guest access?
If I were designing this with the budget for the gear, I'd have an external firewall, and with subnet capabilities established via the firewall/router, or via a managed switch and virtual LANs. Subnets for your stuff, and a subnet for the guests. The WiFi would be connected in the guest subnet.
Some firewalls have DMZ capabilities (which are typically implemented as subnets), and that would be applicable here.
Best case, you're looking to keep the IP traffic separate.
Local preference is to avoid running servers as firewalls.
Options can include commercial firewalls, and open-source options built on double-NIC x86 boxes and packages such as pfSense, M0n0wall or Smoothwall.
If you have two public static IP addresses and a somewhat restricted budget, an unmanaged switch out front (between your firewall and your ISP connection) will give you a spot to connect your WiFi device. Otherwise, you need a firewall/router with three ports: ISP, private LAN, guest WiFi. And rules to keep the guest LAN from accessing the private LAN.
Nothing precludes running two WiFi devices in proximity, so long as they're preferably three WiFi channels apart.
You may (will?) want to have some baseline access controls, lest some malware start up a spamming run from your guest network, or some drive-by war-driver starts messing around with your open LAN.
Higher-end WiFi devices (check Ruckus Wireless WiFi gear, and I'd be surprised if Cisco WiFi gear couldn't) can implement this for you, but those tend to be expensive.
And FWIW, local preference is to run WiFi as access points; as APs. (Apple calls this Bridged Mode.) That way, the network services are acquired from servers "behind" the WiFi devices.

OSX Yosemite Guest Account Internet is not working.

The Admin has internet access but the Guest Account doesn't. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I'm not using VMware anymore and switched to free Oracle VirtualBox, but the concepts are the same. The default virtual machine NAT adapter is only good for connecting to the Internet using DHCP on behalf of the host OS and cannot be used to address the guest OS from outside.
You need to configure the bridged network adapter, or a combination of NAT for outgoing and host-only for incoming network traffic. There is plenty of info on the web and the VMware knowledgeable or Google about using the virtual network editor.

Lobby Admin for guest account creation - Automation of account creation

hello all,
i'm sure the creation of guest accounts on the lobby admin page is a painful process for all involved - for us, it involves a process like this:
visitor asks for wifi > receptionist phones IT > IT creates account> IT phones receptionist with login details.
I would like to know whether it's possible to speed up this process either:
1) receptionist is able to click a few buttons, type the name of a visitor (so we know who used particular the guest ID), then is able to generate an ID and password immediately, which can then be printed onto a ticket printer of some sort.
2) visitor simply connects into the guest network, has to register (name and email) and automatically gets connected.
are any of these possible? or any other option I could take?
Thanks

Why not just have the receptionist create the account via the Lobby Admin login? The point of Lobby Admin is such that an elevated end-user (receptionist/security/etc) can log in to create a guest account without having to interact with an "admin". There's no point in having your IT staff handle the Lobby Admin logins.
Some of the other items you are asking for would be a better use-case with Cisco ISE solution.

"locked" users open to non-admin and guest users

I had this problem a while ago and did a work around that worked.
When I am on guest or other non-admin users accounts and open hard drive and then users I can access files that should be locked. Mine is the only acct that has a Red slashed circle thru it. My wife's account is also admin but the red circle slashes show up past her icon and some of her folders are open.
The last time this came up I dragged her open files into the redslashed document file and everything was fine.
But now my son's file is open to all and this computer is used by many.
When I do the get information and try to change anything in there I get a message of unexpected error and operation could not be completed message error code 120
I get this when I try to get information using my admin acct., his non-admin account, or the guest account. Sometimes it asks me to authorize and then an error now it goes right to error
And the group is listed as admin and read only so it should not be open to all?
Thanks for you help again with these, to me , befuddling problems

Hi Barry, you need to Repair the HD 1st off with that error code 120 = HFS "Directory not found".
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then we can work on the other problems, if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

Guest account internet faster than my account

The internet on my guest account is much much faster than on my regular account. Why? And how can I get those speeds on my account? Is it possible?

That means you have a problem with something in your main User Library--probably in your Preferences folder. Drag that folder to the desktop, reboot and test speed. Note: your preferences will all be off, but don't worry. You can put the folder back and reboot.
If you find you are running faster with the Preferences folder on your Desktop, drag a bunch at a time back from your main folder and reboot/log out until you find the one that is causing the problem.

Here my problem I need to be able to limit my AD users to a 10min access to the WLAN. I see you can do this for guest accounts, but you have to manually enter a username and password. I would like the web authentication to use our ACS which is tied in to our AD. Is there a way to do this?

Weterry,
Here the whole story. I have a bookstore that going to have “Demo” pc for students to buy. The want to show the internet on these devices, but our security guy require all users to logon. I was hoping to find a way to let user logon quickly to test these devices.
I have already figure out the web auth and that great feature, but you have to manually enter each user. If I could get that to use AD and limit each to 10min that would be great. I would like to setup a SSID for the demo devices and limit users to 10 min.
I have 2 WiSM controllers running 6.0 also have WCS .
Thanks

NTFS and Guest account

Using NTFS on Win2000 iFS1.1.
If the user does not have an account, they get the default guest user. I see in Setup and Admin guide that SMB def has a parameter of AllowGuestIfNotUser. I see no such parameter in the NTFS sever def file. Is there another way deny access to the guest other than removeing the guest account? Will it cause problems if I remove the guest account?

Replying to self...
Well after hours of experimenting and talking to tech support, I have this working.
I have all features working as advertised using the web interface (not the connect program), I have dual SSID's (not hidden) for each band with different passwords, mac address filtering, port forwarding, blah blah blah and the guest account!!!.
The main issue I found was if I tried changing the default ip pool from the 192.168.1.x to something else, then the guest account would stop working as well as some other routing issue occured.
I had to renumber 5 machines out of my previously registered space, but it was worth the effort. I have 2 MAC's, 2 Airports, 1 Ubuntu PC, 4 windows (G,N and GE physical), 1 Wii, 1 XBoX 360 and a media WHS all connected and working great.
I am sure Cisco/Linksys will release firmware to get rid of this issue and some other nusances, but overall I am impressed with this router.

Sharing Itunes library between an admin and user account on one imac G5

Hello,
Please forgive the repetitive question. i have set up an admin and a user account on my iMac. I set the itunes library to users/shared/music/itunes/itunes library on both accounts. The music shows up on the admin account but not the user account.
Can anyone give a quick step by step including obscure settings that may need to be altered so that I can finally get this pesky stress monkey off my shoulder!
Thanks!

Hi,
Someone recently poasted a similar problem as yours.
Here's the discussion and solution:

ITunes and Guest Account (OS X 10.5)

Is there away to allow access to my iTunes library from the Guest Account?
I'm having some friends round in a few days time and would prefer to have my computer on the Guest Account so that they can't change any of my settings or mess about with any of my work, but we'll want access to my iTunes library so that we can have some music on.

You can either go into your iTunes preferences and Share the library (and turn on look for Shared Libraries in the guest account) OR you'll have to move your iTunes Music Folder to the Shared folder on your drive so that they can access it from the other account.

E3000 and guest account problems

I will add ot the E3000 funkiness, I have reset my router 6 times now trying to get the right combination of settings.
What I am attemtping to do is simply change my SSID to my personal one and still have the guest account work. I change my SSID and ip address space (many devices in the house with static IP's for my personal /24, I don't want to change).
When I do these two things only, nothing else, the guest feature no longer works. I get a 192.x address, gateway and DNS look fine via the DHCP assignment, but routing is not working, can't ping the gateway and I od course do not get any Cisco password login.
If I completely reset my E3000 and make no changes to IP space everything works fine.
Ideas, thoughts?

What's the difference between the Admin and Root accounts in Mac OS X?

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Admin account and Root user option on Snow Leopard?
I've read on Network Security forums that I should have two accounts on my Macs (I'm the owner and only user), 1 for Admin controls / access and another for general use. I was under the impression that I only needed one account, and even though it was specified as an "Admin" account I didn't really need to worry about it as I would still need to go into Directory Utility and "Enable Root User" to really allow a program to gain access / control of my Mac.
Can somebody please clear this up for me?
Thanks in advance

Root can do anything, without further authentication. There is only one root account and it is disabled by default.
An admin user can do many things without further authentication, but can become root by authenticating with his own password. There can be any number of admin users.
A standard (non-admin) user can only modify the contents of his own home folder, but can become and do admin and even root tasks by authenticating with an administrator's username and password, if he knows it.
Most security professionals recommend running with the fewest privileges as are necessary, elevating to the higher privilege only when needed, and returning to the lower privilege when the higher one is no longer needed.
Apple recommends running as a non-admin user all the time. It is the best for security, and is convenient too, since nearly all admin and root tasks can be done from a non-admin account, simply by authenticating with an admin username/password when prompted. I do admin and root tasks from my non-admin account all the time this way. My admin account almost never gets used; it has been months since I actually logged in to it.
If you are not already using a non-admin account, it's easy to switch: Just create a new account with admin privileges, and then remove admin privileges from your own account.

Admin and User Accounts for Single User

I am the only user of my iMac. According to the article I found below, I should create a User Account for myself and use that one for my daily work. Is this correct?
"Don't use the administration account for anything other than setting up the machine and applications or changing "permanent" settings (if you want to, say, change network settings as a normal user you'll be prompted for the admin password, and since you'll do configuration changes less and less often as time progresses, this isn't a problem)."

Aha! It would appear that this is exactly the sort of thing that using a non-admin account would normally protect you from.
..."yet all applications are available to me in Finder > Applications"...
That's good news. So I wonder where the "Applications" folder has been moved to... The folder that is opened when "Finder" is activated is something that can be changed through the "Finder" > "Preferences" menu under "General". I suspect that it is either "Home" or "Documents", so that when you refer to "Finder > Applications", the path is actually either "Macintosh HD" > "Users" > "Applications", or else "Macintosh HD" > "Users" > "Documents" > "Applications".
To put things back, it might be easier to temporarily remove any "Parental Controls" from your current account and check the "Allow user to administer this computer" check box.
Then rename the "Macintosh HD" > "Applications" folder (the one with only "iTunes") to something else, eg "Applications-temp". After that, open a second window and drag the folder you refer to as "Finder > Applications" to where it belongs in the "Macintosh HD" window.
Now check the versions of "iTunes.app" in the "Applications" and "Applications-temp" folder - one way to do this is to click on the iTunes icon once and change the "Finder" window to "Column View" ("View" > "As Columns", or use the keyboard shortcut ⌘3). The version number should be displayed in the "Preview" panel. Take the older version (lower version number), and throw it away. If necessary, drag the newer version into the "Macintosh HD" > "Applications" folder.
Now, open "Macintosh HD" > "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Disk Utility.app", select your hard drive, and click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button (not the "Repair Disk" button). This might take a few minutes.
Hopefully that will do it, and you can go back and make the account a non-admin again.
I should mention that with some third pary apps, if they were originally installed while the "Applications" folder had been moved, they may complain if their location is changed. It might be necessary to reinstall those, although it will likely depend on a case to case basis.

Can not unistall or upgrade itunes? When trying to unistall it first says that system admin. has set policies to prevent this installation. Then it states that I have no admin. privleges. Running win 7 and only have one active admin. and guest is off.

All other Apple programs the same way. Also my library is gone??? I downloaded a fresh copy and tried installing that as an adminisrator still wouldn't let me.
Any suggestions?

Verify from permission of user that you use it in upgrade, make sure that scom machine and user that you use it in upgrade in sysadmin group in database of operationsManager and OperationsManagerDW
Also Verify from Prerequisites of Upgrade SCOM 2012 sp1 as below link
