AV Software by user instead of install?

Or use Sophos agentless endpoint for vShield

Are there any AV platforms out there that allow it to be based on a USER and give them 5 devices or so, so we can install AV software in all of the VMs we use?

Administrative user only for install software but prevent intercative session

Hello,
as an university, we are not allowing domain users di write anything on the C:\ drive on our Win7/64 PCs; therefore users are unable to install any software and that is what we - usually - want.
But there are some users (researchers, Teachers or labs) who sometimes need to install software in order to test it. So we created on their PCs a local user "install" as member of the local administrator Group. They should use it when
UAC prompts them to give administrative rights to install software or with the "Run as administrator" right click. This works fine but unfortunately we noticed that many users are using the "install" account to do their daily work, so they
are working the whole day long with the highest privileges and we do not want this for obvious security reasons.
We want to leave the administrative user "install" for the software installation purpose but we want prevent users using it interactively; we couldn't find a way to do this. Is it possible ?
In order to discourage users, we also made some tests giving the "install" local user, deny permission on the start menu, desktop and some other folders, so that they couldn't find programs and be very limited in using the installa account
interactively, but this does not give the expected results (for example the user is able to create a folder on the desktop after a couple of popus warnings, or the start menu is not completely empty).
Any ideas ?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Eric

Hi,
In my opinion, you can try to use AppLocker to accomplish this task. You can create a new pricple the allow specific user or group install application. Also the type of about to be installed app could be customized.
You can allocate User group app install permission to make sure they could install APP unrestricted but doesn't have administrator rights.
Please refer to the link below for more details about APP Locker:

Create a User Collection with installed specific software

Can someone help with Query to Create a User Collection with installed specific software.
I have created a collection for Computer Collection with installed specific software but i need to push apps on users and for that i need to create a user collection with specific software installed.
Thanks

Yes. I have created device collection with
installed specific software and used this collection to pull report from out the box report for Primary Device users( Not sure about exact report name but similar) for
this collection. Did some excel work to find primary device user.
But looks like there is no straight forward solution. It would be great if i know how to import multiple users from a text/csv file into a User collection.
Thanks

SCCM 2012: clients from SCCM 2007 to 2012: software available instead of installed

Hi,
We have migrated some Windows 7 clients from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 (in which already hundreds of working W7 clients and their apps -most of them migrated from SCCM 2007).
Now applications are shown as available instead of installed. F.e. Adobe Acrobat is installed but it shows as available.
Please advise howto correct.

Hi,
Does it show the right status after you click "Install" of an application?

Flash Player install package tries to open Matlab instead of installing Flash Player

I have downloaded the install package for Adobe Flash Player for Mac OS X. However when I try to install it attempts to open Matlab rather than installing the package. I'm trying to figure out what to tell it to change the default option that must somehow be invoking Matlab when it sees the mdlp extension.

Hi,
Please delete everything (.dmlp) after the .dmg in the file name.
We are seeing this behaviour with users that have MathLab installed and we are investigating why this is happening. FWIW, this happens to other software DMG files as well, not just the Flash Player installer. For some reason, when users have MathLab installed it appends the .mdlp extension to the DMG file that was downloaded When users attempt to launch it instead of being opened with DiskImageMounter, which is what OS X uses to open DMG files, it opens using MathLab. If this happens in the future just delete '.mdlp' from the file name and DiskImageMounter will open the DMG, instead of MathLab.

[SOLVED] Authenticate with the current user instead of root on GNOME

I am currently trying on Arch Linux. And after installing GNOME, I found that, whenever I want to change the administration settings, such as network, shared folders, date and time, users and groups, I am prompted with authentication of the root password. The current user is a wheel user, which is able to use sudo to work properly. What I want is to use the current user for authentication, so that I can lock the root password, just like Ubuntu distribution which does not need to user root password.

I have solved the problem from the wiki. I didn't follow one of the step, because I thought it is not related to the GNOME, since there is no GNOME keyword. To make the authentication using the current user instead of root, one needs to edit
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/50-localauthority.conf
modify the line to
AdminIdentities=unix-group:wheel

My CC desktop app now says "Try" instead of "Install"?

This may be total paranoia on my part, but suddenly on my Windows 8 CC desktop app, everything says "try" instead of "install" but I can't find anywhere that the CC memberships (or more importantly my full membership) had changed. Is this just a different labeling or has something big changed with CC and I'm apparently totally clueless?

Hello... what is authenticating proxy credentials to install a software that I bought to install???

hello... what is authenticating proxy credentials to install a software that I bought to install???

Hi jo lia-lu,
Are you connected to a managed network conected to internet proxy?
Either the proxy server doesn’t require authentication, or the proxy relies upon the NTLM/Kerberos authentication schemes which permit users’ Windows logon credentials to be automatically used to respond to challenges from the proxy server.
Please contact your IT personnel for help in getting the access credentials for the authenticating proxy.

Updated to Yosemite, no problem. now iPhoto and iMovie won't open. Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software. User ID and PW works everywhere else.

I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

HT4796 How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users?

How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.
-Nina

Sorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name.

Cannot Install Software Update after a Clean Install

I did a clean install of 10.5. I ran the initial Software Update and proceeded to install all the available updates including Version 10.5.4. I installed some software and later did another Software Update check. There were 2 more updates available.
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 adds support for Java SE 6
Security Update 2008-005 (Leopard)
I rebooted the iMac as requested and the Software Update window appeared. I checked both updates and proceeded. The progress bar proceeded about 1/8 of the way with the message Installing 2 items.... Configuring Installation. This appeared to hang there and I left it running overnight. When I looked at it again, the progress bar had not moved. I then tried each one separately, still using the Software Update. Same problem only that the Java update showed the progress bar 1 / 2 the way and is hanging there.
I verified the disk and it was okay. I have used the iMac for almost 2 years and have never had a problem with the Software Update.
Here is the last entry in the install log which seems to indicate the install was done, but the Software Update Window is still there with the "Installing 1 Item" message and I cannot stop the process or force quit it.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I guess I should be careful how I word my posts.
I should have said I resolved the problem that I had. The solution to the problem was to do a manual download of the updates. That worked without a hitch and while solving the immediate problem did not help me understand why automatic updates failed to properly install the identical files.

It is a relatively new iMac purchased from Apple in early 07. Yes, it was a a Retail Version of OS X 10.5 that I purchased when I upgraded 10.4, I have seen this problem many times in Windows, but never experienced it in the almost 2 years of mac usage. I guess I am not the only one having problems as there is a similar post made several hours after mine.
