Apply the default user logon picture to all users

Hi
I applied gpo "apply the default user logon picture to all users"
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp --> renamed my company log to user.bmp.
Taken backup of old user.bmp.
But policy is not working.
Environment:
Windows Server 2008 R2
Clients:Windows 7 and Windows 8

Hi S.Vijay Kumar,
Based on my understanding, the GPO which configured the
Apply the default user logon picture to all users would not apply successfully. What’s more, you have customized the default user logon picture
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp. Right?
Firstly, please check if the scope of this GPO and the setting of Filtering are correct.
Secondly, please follow the steps below to check if the GPO is applied to these Windows XP clients:
Click Start, type rsop.msc in the search box to access
Resultant set of policy.
Check if the GPO is applied to these clients and the setting of the GPO is correct.
In addition, it would be helpful for future troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
Did the GPO fail to apply for all the computers or only some computers?
Can you set the user.bmp as the user logon picture
manually?
Regards,
Lany Zhang

The default user account picture is stored here.
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
or....
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
You can also configure this by a registry setting;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
UseDefaultTile = 1
The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

How do you change the default User in Windows 7 on a non-RAIDed 4 disk setup?

Hi.
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on Darling my new machine, which has a four-disk setup without RAID, like this:
SSD OCZ -OS, Programs (C:)
WD 2002FEAX - Media Projects (D:)
WD 1002FAEX - Pagefile, Media Cache (E:)
WD 1002FAEX - Previews, Exports (F:)
This setup, and because it’s unRAIDed (four separate disks), created the User file in the OS disk, right under the Programs (x86) folder, which at times causes files, which are not programs, to automatically be saved in the User file that's in the Programs disk, when in fact Programs disk is NOT meant for storage.
Further, I cannot save stuff in My Documents because that directory leads the files (that I am saving) to the User folder in the OS disk, forcing me to navigate out of there and into an alternative disk, which is time consuming, more so than if i had a directory leading to D disk.
So, I am wondering, can anyone help me change my directory to establish the default User folder in any folder other than C?
Or, if can someone refer me to Windows 7 tutorials, resourses, that are a tad more than Dummy level.
I have heard that changing around the directory as such can mess with the OS, and though not at Dummy level, I’m quite new to PC and profusely insecure about making changes to Darling at all.
Thanks.

Hi folks.
I would like to update you about what happened regarding my wish to move the User location to another hard disk. Heeding your warning, i did NOT attempt that, but rather, moved the location of the My Documents folder in my Library, from its default place on (SSD) disk C:/ (which is the default location because that's where i installed Windows 7,) to another disk - D:/ called "Media Projects".
Here is how my directory looked before i made the change, my three hard disks were outside the Library directory that's on my SSD (Programs disk):
(I did that by right-clicking the My Documents folder in the left column of a browser window, to access the Location tab.)
What this did is, it put driver D:/ under Documents, which is under Library, see picture, which now enables saving documents quickly, by going from my Library directly to my D drive, however it eliminated the "My Documents" folder/possibility all together from the left-column list of folders in the Windows Explorer browser pane.
I am now trying to do the same with Music, Pictures, and Videos, i.e. to move them to D drive, but am unable to do so because right-clicking those icons in the directory does not produce the Location tab in Properties panel, and nor does right-clicking inside the files themselves.
Similarly, right-clicking Downloads, which i also want to have residing in my D drive, does NOT produce a Location tab in properties pane, though it does seem possible to change the directory manually...see picture.....but am wary....
I am still monitoring my new system, and will see if and how this change effects my system's performance.
Thanks.

What is the default user name and password for oracle databse 10g

Hi: gurus, I just recently installed the oracle 10g personal edition and trying to log on to the enterprise manger, but can't figure it out the user name and password, can some one help me and tell me what is the default user name and password to logon to the oracle instance. BTW during the installation I choose two passowrds one for the schema and one for the global database orcl. I wonder will I be using one of these passwords. Still I don't have any clue for the "User Name".
thanks

system/manager and sys/change_on_install are still valid default passwords when database is manually created. If DBCA was used, passwords will be those defined at creation time inside DBCA.
In case passwords have been forgotten, those can be reset:
From an OS commnad prompt, set ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variables, just to make sure you are pointing to the right Oracle Home installation, and issue:
OS> sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user sys identified by yourNewSysPassword;
SQL> alter user system identified by yourNewSystemPassword;
And you're done with it.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

Using copyprofile to customize the default user profile

Well to get to the problem I'll just explain what I do, which doesn't work.
1. I install windows 8.1 pro (x64) on a test-pc.
2. After installation I press cntrl shift f3 to get into audit mode.
3. I install all software/drivers etc. I also place shortcuts and change the background.
4. I insert my usb, which contains a file called "unattend.xml" in which this is written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="specialize">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile>
</component>
</settings>
<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:e:/usb/windows%207%20en%208/win81pro/sources/install.wim#Windows 8.1 Pro (x64)" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
</unattend>
5. After that I use CMD and use this command: C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown /unattend:F:\unattend.xml
6. when it is done working and turns off, I turn it back on and walk through the oobe. After that my shortcuts and background are standard windows 8.1 and not the ones I used.
Can anyone see what I did wrong? I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!
Btw: This unattend.xml file is created with windows system image manager of the same install.wim which is used to install that OS.
Note: If I generalize a pc after an installation, doesn't that cancel the activation? So when I bring it to a customer he needs to fill in the activation key?

Hi,
After the step 5 (I mean after we customize the default user profile and reference PC sutts down), generally as I know, we should then capture image, you can boot into Windows PE and then capture the Windows installation by using DISM.
See full guide in the link below
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh825135.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
The article also contains some conditions in which user profile settings aren't successfully copied, such as you can not use a domain account, there are no additional user accounts other than the built-in administrator account that you configured,, etc and
sysprep will remove all the security settings of your Windows including windows activation.

Trouble getting the default user directory under Windows XP

I m trying to get the default user directory under windows XP SP3.
To do so, I'm using
System.getProperty("user.home");
I was expecting to get a path like "C:\Documents and Settings\user", nstead of that I get "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Destop".
I checked the %USERPROFILE% and %HOMEPATH% window's environment variables and both of them are correctly set ( set to "C:\Documents and Settings\user").
Is there any way to get the right path other than using : System.setProperty("user.home", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user"); ?

Thanks WalterLaan,
The System.getenv("USERPROFILE") method will, at least, fix the problem under win XP.
I guess i'll have to write a more refined method to be able to deploy my application under differents OSes.
Regards.

There is no default user or password; these are set up with the computer following the installation process. Ask the person who sold you the computer for it.

Pros and Cons for replacing the default user template?

Hi,
since I've installed a new server, I don't want to make any mistake,
If I replace the default user template (*.iproj) by my own, is it really a bad idea?
Am I better modifying the existing one (.plist) even if it is more work?
Thanks

If I replace the default user template (*.iproj) by my own, is it really a bad idea?
While you can modify the default User Template, it is not a recommended practice to do so. Since you are managing clients via MCX, anything that you set in WGM for user preferences will be added to the user's profile at login. If you have a need for some specific application preferences that need to be added for users, configure the application on a workstation as a local user and then import the .plist into WGM. Anything else -folders or files- that an application creates in the local user prefs folders, that may be needed, can usually be placed in the /Library/Preferences, /Library/Application Support, and /Library/Managed Preferences folders on the clients so that users have access to them.

CopyProfile causes search shortcuts on all users search screen to point to the default user profile

So, I'm sysprepping Windows 8.1 with an answer file set to CopyProfile=True. I log in to my customized account and sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattend.xml. Everything copies over just fine. I get my layout in the Metro
start menu, etc, etc...
However, when I log in to the default profile I originally customized after sysprep, everything works great. But when I log into any other account created during sysprep or thereafter and I hit the windows key and do a search for "Update" -
and select "Windows Update" I get an error:
Title: C:\Users\ORIGINALDEFAULTACCOUNT\AppData\Local\Packages\windows.immersivecontrol.....
Message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
It's not every single shortcut... Only a certain fiew.
I get a nearly identical message when trying to launch "Programs and Features" from start. If I manually navigate to these controls, they load up just fine. Just the search items seem to be pointing to the wrong point. Is there like
a cache that copyprofile seems to be copying over for some reason?
I've tried modifying the built in administrator account thinking Microsoft has gotten a bit stricter on which account I can use, but I get the same error.
Can anybody help?

Thanks for the response!
I ran SFC and all files come up good.
I know I can take permissions/ownership to access the file, but I'm not sure I would want to do this.
I may not have been clear and perhaps I need to clarify.
Here is my process:
I create account1 prior to sysprepping. I customize this profile to my liking and copy it over with copyprofile during the sysprep phase.
account1 is now my default profile.
During the sysprep phase I also create account2. After sysprep completes, when I login to account2 and attempt to access "Programs and Features" or "Windows Update" from metro search, I get the error with the following title:
C:\Users\account1\AppData\Local\Packages\windows.immersivecontrol
So even though I'm logged into account2, if I do a search and try to run these two shortcuts, they point to a file in account1's profile.
If I create a new profile at this point, the same problem occurs, as account1 is the default profile and it appears that the shortcuts are being carried over as part of the default profile.
Taking ownership/changing permissions of the file/folder does not fix the fact that the shortcuts pointing to the account were copied over the in the first place.
I could change it so that Everyone has read permissions to this part of the default profiles folder, but I've been lead to believe that this is not best practice.
I've reimaged the computer and started over from scratch, but it appears that the default profile still includes these broken shortcuts.
Perhaps there is a cached search history I need to delete somewhere before sysprepping?
I also noticed that these "shortcuts" are in a 'packages' folder - are these 'shortcuts' actually windows 8 apps? If so, maybe there's something that's being missed in the provisioning process?

Is it possible to apply the same transition to multiple edits all at once?

I know it's possible with FCP but is it possible with FCE? I have a bunch of edits I'd like to apply the exact same transition to but would like to avoid doign it one at a time. Unfortunately, selecting all the clips/edits and then dragging the transition to them does nothing.
Thanks.

Hi(Bonjour)
Humm I remember an old trick, check this workaround:
1) Stop your playhead before the first clip, and select all your clips in timeline,
2) drag those clips in canvas, with picture overlay,
3) drop on "overwrite with transition".
4) the default transition will be added between all your clips.
5) open your favorite transition, select the whole sequence in timeline, drag the little "hand" from browser to timeline. All transitions will be replaced by your favorite.
Good luck

Changing the default /Users location

Hey guys,
does anyone know a smart way to change the DEFAULT location of /Users in SL?
I wan't to create a system image with /Users on a second partition,
and i'm not talking about just ctrl-clicking an existing user and editing
the account prefs
Worked fine in 10.4 with NetInfo and in 10.5 with fstab/vifs.
10.6 anyway always creates an alias to /Users,
which i don't want because it makes our software-distribution go nuts.
Any ideas?
Would appreciate it...

I edited /etc/fstab using vifs and added:
/dev/disk0s3 /users hfs rw 1 2
This is exactly what i did in 10.5 as well.
SL mounts /users to the other partition just fine,
but additionally it creates a link to /users on the system partition as well.
I.e., on the system partition i have Applications, Library, System and so on
AND a link to /user. That didn't happen in 10.5
On the second partition i have all the users folder, just how i wanted it.
I'm just curious why SL automatically creates that link
when i change the mountpoint of /users.

[AS] Making "keep overrides" the default graphic layer option for all placed graphics?

If I relink thisLink when it is missing, and update link option was set to keep overrides, everything is fine. But if it was set to application settings, I am in a world of hurt, because suddenly all my Unit numbers will show 1-32 piled on top of each other (all layers visible in Photoshop) or the wrong one (just one layer visible in Photoshop) or nothing at all!
The catch-22 is that until I relink missing links, update link option only shows "unknown" as the result. Arrrgh?
set myLinks to every link whose status = missing
repeat with thisLink in myLinks
    get update link option of graphic layer options of parent of thisLink
        -->Returns "unknown" instead of "application settings" or "keep overrides"
    try
        set update link option of graphic layer options of parent of thisLink to "keep overrides"
        relink thisLink to newLinkPath
        update thisLink
    on error
        -->This always errors on the set update link option line
    end try
end repeat
Anyone know a way around this or should I just change my name to Yossarian?
Thanks in advance,
Eric.

Well, I give you points for creativity! Unfortunately, relink is destructive and overwrites any info with the default (which in CS2 is application settings).
What really kills me is that InDesign has some Sooper Seekrit internal list that only the Links palette knows about. So if you *manually* try and relink the document and then revert it, it automatically relinks against all the paths you've tried since launching it and therefore, the second time all the links show as linked and the process is non-destructive, unlike the "relink" command.
Argh.
I will think on it some more though. Thanks for your input!
PS: Adobe apparently broke the ability to relink against a string in CS4 from what I can tell. In spite of the fact that the dictionary specifically lists alias or string or string (yes, says or string twice in the dictionary), only alias really seem to work.
So...
set newLinkFolder to "" & path to home folder & "Pictures:"
set newLinkPath to newLinkFolder & name of thisLink
try
relink thisLink to newLinkPath
on error
display dialog "FAIL!"
end try
try
relink thisLink to newLinkPath as alias
on error
display dialog "No fail. You'll never see this message!"
end try

I want to use the default Apple desktop pictures but also add my own. Where are the system desktop pictures located?

I like the default images Apple provides for the desktop but would like to add my own. I have desktop pictures set to change randomly every minute. Is there a way for me to add my own images to the categories (like 'Plants' or 'Nature') that are already in the Desktop and Screen Saver preference panel?
Thanks!
