All Users were given Admin after Leopard updgrade

I just found that all of my user accounts were given Admin. I cannot set the Parental controls for my kids. I am unable to uncheck the "Allow user to administer this computer". It is greyed out for all users.
Has anyone else seen this?

I just tried deleting one of my kids' accounts and recreating it and Admin still shows up in the group, and allowing admin is still greyed out.

  • Deleting all users WER (Windows error reporting) files

    Hi,
    I am using windows server 2008 R2 (Standard), I have created around 120 users in this server, yesterday i found that my C drive is full, after checking all i found around 30GB is used for Windows error reporting files, Please help me to delete This files
    Please, i cant delete all files one by one...

    For what it's worth, this is the script I use to find Windows Error Reports that have not been sent, and delete archived Windows Error Reports:
    It's not currently doing per-user error reports, as we don't have people logging into the servers, typically.

  • HP LaserJet 1320 requires user intervention to print after Leopard

    Ever since upgrading to Leopard, almost every single time I send a print job to my HP LaserJet 1320 (over the network, it actually connected to a PowerMac G5 in my office), it triggers an error warning (orange flashing light) on the printer. Pressing the main green print button lets the job print, but this is really annoying.
    I checked and Apple recently posted a note about the HP LaserJet 1200 having a very similar problem except that an error page was printed after each job. The workaround they suggest for this doesn't work with the LaserJet 1320 problem, however.
    A quick Google reveals at least one other Leopard using HP LaserJet 1320 owner is seeing a similar issue. And actually, as I composed this post, I found some 1320 owners in another Apple Discussion post about HP printer issues with Leopard. They suggested using the generic PostScript driver, but then I really like to have the ability to duplex.
    Nothing in the /private/var/log/cups/error_log file of note as far as I can tell.
    Any ideas? Any other people out there experiencing this problem who might have a solution (other than switching to a generic postscript driver)?

    Ok, I think I've figured a way to make the laserjet 1320 stop requiring "user intervention" (e.g. pressing the green button for every printjob).
    Try the following:
    Open "System Preferences" -> Choose "Print & Fax" -> Choose the Laserjet 1320 printer -> Press button "Options and Supplies..." -> Select Driver "tab" -> In the drop-down-menu "Fit to page" choose "Nearest Size and Scale" instead of "Prompt User".
    The chosen driver should be "HP Laserjet 1320 series", because the generic postscript printerdriver dosen't have the duplex option amongst other shortcomings.
    I find it odd that the lowest memory-option is 16-31mb of ram. The default configuration of 16mb is not IN that range, but maybe that is a little too nitty-gritty.

  • Exposing all user folders in admin view??

    I have an New Imac running mountain lion.  I have 5 users including myself, where I am the admin.  How do I see all of their user folders when I am logged in?  My finder only shows my document folders no one else's.

    With the default permissions, which you shouldn't change without a very good reason, you can't open the Documents folders of other users, even as an admin.
    If you do have a very good reason, add an entry for yourself to the access list in the Finder Info window.

  • Processes by ALL users were running today - WHY????

    This morning I noticed that the fans were running on my Macbook Pro, and checked the process status.  I saw several processes (including multiple mdworkers) running under every account on my system, and do not know why these were running, since none of the other users was actually logged in, and none of them know how to submit anything to chron.
    I also received an iMovie update.
    Also, around the same time, SimpleText lost the ability to save files that I created and edited.  Repairing permissions did not fix this.
    I killed the processes from Activity monitor, and saved my text files, by copying their content into blank files created by XCode, then rebooted, and eveything seemed normal.
    Is there a logical explanation for this?????

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have set of launchd processes for EVERY user account on my machine even tho I'm the only account (jakec) that EVER logs in:
    -+= 00001 root /sbin/launchd
    |
    |-+= 00656 jakec /sbin/launchd
    | |--= 00659 jakec /usr/sbin/distnoted agent
    | |--= 00661 jakec /usr/sbin/cfprefsd agent
    |
    |-+= 00663 _spotlight /sbin/launchd
    | |--= 00666 _spotlight /usr/sbin/distnoted agent
    | +--= 50423 _spotlight /usr/sbin/cfprefsd agent
    |
    |-+= 01163 anybody /sbin/launchd

    |
    |-+= 63634 sysadmin /sbin/launchd
    | |--= 63645 sysadmin /usr/sbin/distnoted agent
    | +--= 63651 sysadmin /usr/sbin/cfprefsd agent
    |

    |-+= 63636 jakec2 /sbin/launchd

    |
    |-+= 88020 _lp /sbin/launchd
    | +--= 88026 _lp /usr/sbin/cfprefsd agent
    That's nearly 20 processes that do NOT need to be running.
    I've looked thru each account's launch agents/daemons to see if I could disable them, but it looks like they get started by system agents/daemons, and frankly, I'm not that adventurous to see which system launch agents/daemons I can disable without causing system malfunction.

  • Making a created custom page visible to all users in Business Process Workspace

    Hi everyone
    I, as the admin of Business Process Workspace, have created a custom page to show an external URL.
    How can I make this page visible to all of our ordinary users?

    Hi Ashwini
    Thanks for replying.
    I did the same and it was working for me even if the Type is Single.
    I just gave the Group name and all users were able to see the task. This is fine with me.
    I just observed one more thing.
    When the task is created, all the users in the Group are able to see it in 'Me & My Group'.
    But the data entered by the creator is not seen by other users.
    There is an action 'Save' in the Task. If the creator clicked on it, then the task is automatically 'Acquired' by the creator.
    Other users in the group are able to see the task and the saved data, but are not able to Submit.
    What I expected the Save button to do is only to Save the data in the Payload. Not Claim it.
    Is there a way to make the payload data only to save but not to claim the task?
    Thanks and Regards

  • How to set up Windows with Reader and certificate for all users

    Good afternoon (GMT),
    we're dealing with a Win XP (SP3) system that is set up by an Administrator. One task is to set up the system in a way that all users (w/o admin rights) become able to read a certified-protected PDF. Currently we know a way to install the "public key" for this certificate only for one known user. But how to proceed when not all users are known? The users shall later on never be asked to confirm the certification installation/registration.
    If it helps, here is the software version:
    Acrobat 8.12 to encrypt the PDF via certification. In near future I will switch to Acrobat 9.x
    Reader 7.x and/or 8.x on customer PCs.
    Thank you for ideas and hints.
    BTW: Next time we want to provide a solution for Win7 systems, too.

  • Won't start up from 10.5 DVD after Leopard install to add Admin user

    I have just installed Leopard (10.5) on my G4. Now, I cannot upgrade to 10.5.1 or make any changes because I am now just an ordinary user without any Administrator privileges. I try to start up from the 10.5 DVD but it asks for Administrator password (of which there is none). I am totally locked out of my own machine because of this Leopard (cool name--useless software, very upset about it). What now?

    Chris:
    I just had the same issue on my son's MacBook. As long as you have a wired keyboard, the following will work.
    1. Shut down the computer if it is on.
    2. Press the power button to start the computer.
    3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple) key and the "s" key for single-user mode.
    4. Type mount -uw / (then press the Return Key) wait for next line to appear with # root/
    (there is a space between t and - and another space between w and /)
    5. Then Type "passwd" (without quotation marks then press the Return Key)
    6. Enter new password (this will be for the root user account) (watch your fingers when you type because it doesn't show what you are typing, then hit the Return Key after you type it.
    It will prompt you to retype the new password again, so retype it again and then hit the Return Key) wait for next line to appear...
    7. Then Type "reboot" (without the quotes and hit the Return Key)
    after the computer restarts and comes up with the login window....
    8. Login with any of your usernames just to get the desktop up.
    9. After desktop comes up choose System Preferences, then choose accounts. Unlock if you have to and using the username: root ..... and the password you just setup in the single user mode You now should be able to make users including your existing user account an admin.
    After you log back in under your real account, it is advisable to deactivate the root user account. To do this,
    1. Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
    2. From the Go menu, choose Utilities.
    3. Open Directory Utility.
    4. Click the lock in the Directory Utility window if you need to unlock the utility.
    5. Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
    6. Choose Disable Root User from the Edit menu.
    Hope this helps.

  • User account not showing up in login screen after Leopard upgrade

    One of my admin accounts is no longer showing up at log in. I did the upgrade and password suggestions on the support sight... titled Unable to log in to account after an upgrade but still no good. The only account affected did have a password of 8 characters or more.
    I go to open System Preferences when in a different account with admin rights and I don't see my original account as an existing user? I can see my original stuff in the user folders, but I am not listed as a user in the Account Preferences or Login. I also cannot create a new user with the same name as my old login as that name is apparently(!) already in use. I have an account with admin rights that is showing up.
    From a different thread it seems that many others are having this problem thus I think it warrents its own thread. What is the easiest way to bring back my account and data... I know it is there it just is not showing up at log in.
    tbigsmo wrote this from other thread... hmmmm
    One more thing, I created a new user and copied over all folders from my old user account and that didn't even think about working. The last solution was suggested by the apple 800 number. This is what I was going to try next, but now am waiting. Also the other thread was very hard to follow as many folks did not have access to a working user admin account.
    How can I find myself too?

    Turns out you're both right, sort of...
    * The Guest Account is hidden because it's a sub 500 user, so you guys were on the money there. (I hadn't realized it was a sub-500 user...)
    * Using the hint at the link posted by V.K. to hide the secret administrator hides it ONLY from the login window, but not from the Accounts section of System Preferences...so, that solution doesn't work for me. (This is going on a master image, and the users will have admin rights, so they would be able to delete the secret administrator account...)
    So, I'll just have to live without having the actual Guest account active (which I need active for use with Orbicule Undercover,) and instead I created a standard user (with a few parental controls) named "Guest User."
    Thanks, both of you, for your help.

  • Adding a domain user to the admin role within the local user management breaks all metro apps for all users!!

    Hi,
    I have posted this in another large thread under the "Windows 8 General" group but have not had any appropriate feedback from MS.
    After hours of testing and working with other users I have managed to isolate a simple situation that breaks all metro ui applications within Windows 8 for all users on the machine. Here are my exact steps and notes.
    Before continuing if you are running Avast then your solution may be to turn of the behaviour shield functionality as this also breaks metro apps. This is NOT the problem we are having!
    I have performed 3 cleans installs after isolating the problem and am able to reproduce the issue every time using the same steps on two different machines. 
    First thing to say is that for us it has nothing to do with simply joining the domain, domain/group policies nor does it appear to have anything to do with the software we installed, the problem here is much more simple but the result is pretty terrible.
    Here are my exact steps of what I did to reproduce our problem:
    Complete format of HDD in preperation for a clean install
    Clean install performed
    Set up the machine initially with a local account
    Test metro apps - all working fine
    Open control panel from the desktop, click on System, change the system to join the domain, click reboot
    Log into the system using my domain account
    Test metro apps - all working fine
    Here's were the problem starts. I need my domain account to have admin rights on the local machine so I can install programs without the IT men having to come over and enter their password every 5 mins.
    I go to control panel via the desktop and click on User Accounts. From with here I then click on "Manage User Accounts". This requires the IT guys to enter their details to give me access to such functionality. This is fine
    In the dialog box that opens I can only see the local user that was initially created during setup. The "Group" for this local account shows as "Administrators" - Image included below (important to note that metro apps are working at this point)
    I click add and then add my domain account - also giving it administrator access
    Sign off or reboot to ensure the new security is applied
    Sign back in to the domain account
    Test metro - ALL BROKEN
    Sign out
    Sign in as local account
    Test Metro - NOW ALL BROKEN FOR THIS USER ALSO
    So as soon as I add my domain account to the local user accounts and set it as admin it breaks all metro apps for all users. This is on a totally clean install with nothing at all installed other than the OS.
    Annoyingly if I go back and change the domain account to a standard user or if I totally remove the domain account from the local account management system the problem does not go away for either user. basically it is now permanently broken. The only fix I
    could fathom was a full re install and not giving the domain user admin access to the local  machine.
    Screen one - this is the local user accounts window AFTER joining the domain and logging in with my domain account (All metro apps working at this point)
    Screen 2: User accounts AFTER joining the domain and AFTER adding domain account to local user management (METRO BROKEN)
    I have isolated my machine from all group policies so nothing like that is affecting me. Users I have spoken to in different companies have policies that automatically add users to the local user management. This means that metro apps break as
    soon as they join the domain which leads them to wrongly think it is group policies causing the error. Once they isolate themselves from this they can reproduce following my steps.
    Thanks

    Hi Juke,
    Thank you for the response and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. My machine was running a long task so I couldn't try your suggested solution.
    I had already tried running the registry merge suggested at the top of the thread to no avail. I had not tried deleting the OLE key totally so I did that and the problem still exists. I will post all the errors I see in event viewer below. For
    your info, since posting my initial comment I have sent out my steps to 7 different people and we can all reproduce the problem. This comes to 10 different machines (3 of them mine then the other guys) in 3 different businesses / domains. We see the same errors
    in event viewer.
    Under "Windows Logs" --> "Application" : I get two separate error events the first reads "Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional
    information." The second arrives in the log about 15 seconds after the first and reads "App winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store did not launch within its allotted time."
    Under "Windows Logs" --> "System" : I get one error that reads "The server Windows.Store did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
    Under "Applications And Services Logs" --> "Microsoft" -->  "Windows" --> "Apps" --> "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" : I get one error that reads "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for the
    Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start."
    If you require any further information just let me know and I will provide as much as I can.
    Thanks

  • After a hard reset all user profiles are now accessible by every user

    I initially had our office time capsule set up with 3 seperate user accounts ("profiles") via these instructions. Thus each user had a login for the time capsule that would then show them a shared folder that all users could see, and then a personal folder that only those logged into that account could see and access.
    While I was out of the office a co-worker was having trouble connecting his new iMac to the time capsule, so he called apple for assistance and they had him do a hard reset. The hard reset saved all the profiles and all information in each folder, but now everyone can access every folder. I'm not completely sure of what steps they took to set it up after the hard reset, but now, no matter which account you are logged in as you see:
    -"Shared"
         -(Shared folder)
    -"Users"
         -(user 1)
         -(user 2)
         -(user 3)
    So you have complete access to each users folders. Does anyone know if there is any easier way to set the user profiles back up the way they were originally set up by myself, or do I basically have to re-do the whole process (which includes saving and transfering all folders--which is a long process)?

    The security of the TC is designed for home networking.. because anyone who has physical access to the TC can easily access anything.. it is simply convenient perhaps to have user profiles.. but a quick 1 sec soft reset and anybody can gain access to anything.
