Administrator account AND user account neccesary?
I recently read in some posts that you should have an administrator account setup up on your mac but then also have a user account for yourself to use. Can anyone better explain this to me and tell me why I should do this? Right now I am the only one using the computer and there is only one account set up and it is the admin account.
Thanks
Depending on how often you take your pB on the road determines it for me.
Portables are more likely to be stolen than desktops, and if there is sensitive info on it, ssn's for example, I prefer to have that protected or hidden in an upper level account.
That way, if you use a second account for normal, mundane stuff, if it is heisted, the crooks would not have access to top secret stuff.

Difference Between Service Account and User Account
What is the Difference Between Service Account and User Account
Hello Mohit,
Basically there are two types of approches which you should understand.
In many environments, administrators prefer to simply create a domain user account and assign appropriate privileges to it. Then this user account is used in order to start a specific service on a computer.
In that case there is really no difference between a user account and the so called service accounts. Since this service account is simply a domain user, all the task related to managing the domain users apply to it. For example you
should keep the password up to date manually. Some environment move step forward and assign
Deny Logon Locally of this type of service account in order to enhance the security.
The second concept is Managed Service Accounts. There are plenty of differences between a Managed Service Account and a User Account.
The Display Icon is different from a view perspective.
The type of object is different.
Managed service accounts password management is automatic.
You can not create Managed Service Accounts using GUI. They are only created using Powershell.
You can refer to link below for more inormation:

How to query members of 'Local Administrators' group in all computers? -
After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

Change users from Administrator account to user account using domain controller
good day,
In our domain controller we have around 1200 users, all these users have admin account and there is the problem.
I want to change them to a user accounts so they can not change IP address and install or uninstall programs with out our consent.
Is there a possibility to do this with the domain controller, because i don't want to go change the computers one by one. from admin account to user account.
Thank you so muchHi,
I agree with
Ravikumar. I assume what you mean is local admin rights. Since you have so many users which
have local admin rights, you would have created an administrator group and add all the users to that group in Local Users and Groups of Computer Management. You can remove them from the administrator group and add them to a user group.

I want to add another ipod, but under a different account and user name can i do this and how?
I want to add another ipod under my exticting I tunes. But want to set it up as a different account and user. Is this possible and how?
The easiest way is set up a new user profile on your PC. Then copy the iTunes folder to the public folder and from there copy it to the iTunes folder in the new user profile.
(this way you can use music in both accounts, even if you bought it from Apple - it needs to be DRM free though, so older stuff might be protected) -
Can't Change Lock Screen Background Image and User Account Picture in Windows 8.1.
I am running Windows8.1 Single Language with windows activated. Upgraded from Window 8 to Windows 8.1.
Lenovo Y410p.
4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz 1600MHz 6MB) with 16GB RAM.
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT750M 2GB .
I tried all methods that I found on web included :
1. http://www.askvg.com/fix-cant-change-lock-screen-background-and-user-account-picture-in-windows-8/
2. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-desktop/lockscreen-issues-on-windows-81/c51f570a-7a69-4e92-8348-3ebbed778592
3. I deleted the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData file and folder
4. I restored the Libraries Features.
5. I run SFC / Scannow 3 times but get no error.
6. I created a new local account but the same problem shows up. (I'm using live for main account.)
Now, Please tell me what should I do, Thanks.Hi,
First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

Checking Computer AND User Account against AD without TLS
Hi Folks,
i am working on a customer site with 5500/ACS5.2/AD/WZC. The Customer looks for a good Authentication Scenario but decides against TLS. So we tested PEAP with checking the AD for a valid Computer Account and User Auth. But, if i use a Laptop with no Domain Computer Account but a valid User Account, i can gain Access. Is it possible that the ACS can check for a valid Computer AND User Account and successes the Client only if both Accounts are available and valid?
Regards, MichaelHi Nicolas, thx for this Hint. I did today the Host Lookup and "was machin auth" thing, but anyway, my own Laptop
that is not in the Domain can connect with a Domain User ID to the Network. Any Hint or Trick? I saw on other Discussions you referred to that some Users did an AD Rejoin, what do you think?
Regards, Michael -
Check for Updates and User Account Control
With Adobe Reader the 'Check for Updates' function under Help does not appear to function when 'User Account Control (UAC)' in Windows Vista is turned on.
When UAC is turned off, the 'Check for Updates' works, and if there an update is available for Adobe Reader, it will download and install.
Other programs that update software funtion with UAC turned on, albeit with the additional dialog boxes that UAC brings, namely the CTL/ALT/DEL and user account logon (when applicable.)
Without updating the Adobe Reader software, users are leaving themeselves open to vulnerabilities. Without UAC turned on, users are also leaving themselves open to certain risks. So there appears to be a dilemma presented.
Does anyone know if/when Adobe will be changing the 'Check for Updates' functionality so it will behave more in-line with the UAC functionality?
Thank you in advance for your time and attention.With UAC enabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is no selection for updating. There is nothing for me to click. Additionally, in Edit, Preferences, Updater, "Do not download or install updates automatically" is selected, and everything on the right pane is greyed-out.
With UAC disabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is a selection for 'Check for Updates.' In Edit, Preferences, Updater, I can select the various methods of downloading/updating Adobe Reader. The option to download the update but not install was selected, as I wanted it to be.
Finally, I noticed that the notice from Adobe, 'Update is ready to install,' appears in the Windows tray. And it is this point that somewhat changes the serverity of the problem, that is, while 'Check for Updates' is not available when UAC is enabled, it appears that Adobe can still be updated through the automatic download feature. The only problem with this is that I cannot tell if the update was downloaded while UAC was enabled (probably not since the download setting says not to) or while UAC was disabled.
In any case, it still does not appear that our clients can get their Adobe Reader software updated while UAC is enabled. And this represents a security dilemma for us. -

How do I remove my brother's iPhone 5 from my iTunes account and iCloud account?
My brother recently got a new iphone, and is a bit of a technophobe, so I set up his iPhone 5 in my itunes Account and my iCloud account.
Without going into loads of details, I want to set him up his own apple iTunes account, and iCloud account, without removing any of his data, contacts, photos, music, etc. Help, please!!!!!
ThanksAre you using the the same icloud id. you can also look to the right on this forum you'll see More Like This - there might be a solution.
-
My apple ID was correctly changed but my @me account and @icloud account addresses need updated to reflect my married name.
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.

I can no longer access my mac mail in the Mail program - only on icloud. I would like to have both my aol account and mac account in one place like it was. Anything I can do?
iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. -
Country chart of accounts and alternative account No.
Hello Experts
we're using country chart of accounts and alternative account No. to fullfill FICO China localization, now I have below questions:
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolication purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
Thanks,
NicoleHi Nicole,
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
> Account No. in Operation Chart of Accounts is always used for FI posting. Alternative Account No. is always for information purpose.
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
> You only create Operational Chart of Accounts for posting. Alternative Account No. can be of two types 1):-is a freely definable text and you don't have any chart of Account for that, for example say legacy No. 2) The Account No. from a country Chart of Accounts, in this case you create a GL in Country Chart of Accounts.
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
> Not True. Only Operation Chart of Accounts will get posted. In the Alternative Account No., the Alternate Account No. will get populated.
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolidation purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
> No. Country Chart of Account is used for External reporting.. Group Chart of Account is used for Consolidation.
