Blocking mavricks upgrade to end users?

Hi
We are running a mix of different builds of OS from leopand upto mt lion and I'm planning to upgrade all our end users at the same time to Mavricks, is it possible to stop end users from doing this themselves in the meantime? Possible with "sudo softwareupdate --ignore "? I just can't find the required label for it.
Many Thanks

Yes. I do appreciate that admin users can just skip around it with different methods.
I've just taken over a mac infrastructure, and rebuilding it so that it is an infrastructure. Part of it will be a local update server. I just don't want the end users upgrading their machines willy nilly and risk killing there machines until the back bone is setup. I've asked them not to upgrade just yet and for me to push out the deployment via deploystudio when the time comes, so that all the machines have the correct settings and policies set on them.
I just need software update not to display the update until then, do stop them accential upgrading.

JRE upgrade for End Users

Hello,
We are on Enterprise Portal 7.0 SP 24 and planning to Upgrade the JRE version of users on the Client Side to 1.6 from 1.4 . Wanted to know if it works with our Portal version or we need to Upgrade it also on the server side?
Any help would be highly Appreciated.

Hi,
On server side, you cannot run EP 7.0 with a newer JDK version than 1.4.
Applets are only used if you use local editing for KM with applets (and not ActiveX). This works with 1.6 on client side, too. If using this, set Java Runtime Version to 1.4 (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a6/181b09bcc7fe4389c8c17d2ad849cc/frameset.htm).
Hope it helps

"Adobe Acrobat is blocked" - Where to I accept the end user agreement which will enable me to access Pdf documents on the web?

I keep getting this message when trying to open documents from the web:
"Adobe Acrobat is blocked" -
Where to I accept the end user agreement which will enable me to access Pdf documents on the web?
The Adobe website recommends this: (did not solve the problem)
Safari 7 and 6.1 block PDFs | Acrobat, Reader
Thanks for any help solving this annoying problem!
OSX 10.9.3
Safari 7.0.4
Acrobat Pro 11.0.0

Hello Isakten:
Thanks so much for your reply!
I already have Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Following your instructions, I then selected Reader as the desired Adobe product to open all PDFs. and save that choice. Still no difference, the same black screen and statement about the EULA shows up…
http://www.nhgastro.net/patients.html
BTW, this is the website that I was accessing……note the link to download and print the pdf which triggers the EULA page.
and also downloaded the latest version of Reader via their link….but to no success…..
This all started by itself months ago, I did no newer installs or settings changes, none……
Any other thoughts?
Thanks so much,
Steve

Possible to create a Message Box in response to end-user selecting "cancel" or "block" after clicking a link to a URL?

Hi all:
When an end-user clicks a link/button to connect to a URL, the security dialog automatically appears giving them the options of "Allow," "Block" or "Cancel". Should they select "Block" or "Cancel," can we trigger a message box informing them they blocked or cancelled the connection?
With traditional message boxes, we're causing them, ie
var rtnFromBox = xfa.host.messageBox("Information is missing.\n\n Are you sure you want to continue?", "Missing Information",1,2);
if (rtnFromBox == 4){
xfa.host.messageBox("Okay, we'll keep going.","",1,0);
But with the URL security dialog, we're not calling it from a variable - it just happens.
I guess a similar question could be applied to a "Save" button. Where if the end-user selects "cancel" on the "Save As" dialog, a warning could pop-up reminding them to save soon.
Thoughts? Thanks!
Brian

Radz,
I didn't think so but figured I'd ask. Thanks for the response though!

Any End User Benefits Of Exchange 2010 to 2013 Upgrade?

Most of the benefits I see when I search online for new features of Exchange 2013 seem to be related to administrative functions that users don't see or care about.
What are the biggest benefits that end users can see for moving from Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange Server 2013 that don't require also upgrading Office 2010 to 2013 to take advantage of?

If your users do nothing in Outlook but send and receive messages, then there is probably no benefit. That would be true in just about any version of Exchange.
If however, they are interested in improved connectivity (Outlook Anywhere/ MAPI/HTTP in SP1) and getting a superior experience on mobile devices and tablets as well as access to apps, the 2013 is a must.
Don't forget the improvements coming Exchange's way in the future:

Solaris end "User" load upgrade to "Entire" load

My question today, is it possible to do an upgrade of an "end user" load of Solaris (8 or 9) to an "entire" (full) load in the same OS? Has anyone ever tried to do this before?

Mahmoud,

Jabber for Mac - End User unable to Cut & Paste Images in IM

Full discloure: I am an END USER, not an IT admin or anything like that. Not sure if this is the proper forum to ask this question but figured it was worth a shot...
Running OSX 10.9.1 and Jabber 9.2.1.
I am unable to copy-and-paste images into IM conversations with co-workers.
My "cachedPresenceConfigStore.xml" file shows:
"<im_cutandpaste_enabled>TRUE</im_cutandpaste_enabled>"
and
"<screen_capture_enabled>TRUE</screen_capture_enabled>"
...yet these functions seem to be missing from the IM client. As far as I know our organization's service-side policy allows for sending images over IM (confirmed this using the jabber client on a windows machine).
Am I just "doing it wrong" somehow? Is there some special method I need to use to be able to paste images into an IM conversation?
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thank you,
Jason

It appears they disabled it server-side as the button (a paperclip) normaly appears to the right of the emoticon button. While the jabber-config.xml file can block specific file extensions, it cannot disable the feature entirely. This is done within the Service Parameters of the server, which only an admin can see.
ProcedureStep 1 Choose Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration > System > Service Parameters.Step 2 From the Server menu, choose an IM and Presence node .Step 3 In the Service Parameter Configuration window, choose Cisco XCP Router as the service.Step 4 From the Enable file transfer drop-down list, click On or Off.Step 5 Click Save.Step 6 Restart the Cisco XCP Router Service on every node in the cluster. For more information, see Restart CiscoXCP Router service, on page 43.

Is there a way to have an AppleID for an end-user without credit card info attached to it?

I am in charge of managing the Macs in our department. We have purchased a volume license for Mountain Lion (can't jump to Mavericks yet until we upgrade other software). I have a code to redeem, but the end-user is supposed to have an AppleID. I went ahead and started creating one for her, but it asks for credit card information, and corporate does not wish to have this information attached to an end-user's ID - they just want to supply it at the time of purchase for any future purchases (fear of identity theft and/or unauthorized purchases, I guess).
Our Mountain Lion software is already purchased, so Apple shouldn't need the credit card info for us to be able to install it. I can't install Adobe's Creative Cloud software until she's at least up to Mountain Lion … I feel I am hitting a major roadblock here! Any suggestions? Is this a new requirement? My own AppleID (for work) that I've had for awhile has no credit card currently attached to it … must not have been required at the time.

Try this on that Apple ID to get the None payment method option;
This user, mountaingoatgirl, explains how to get a None option in your account details in the iTunes app on a Mac or PC. -

Help! ADF default behavior rejected by end users...

Hi,
We have built an ADF 11g application during the past months. Last week we had our first user acceptance test with a small group of users. The users were very satisfied about the nice looks of the screens. But they had quite a lot of issues with the default behavior of ADF. I'll provide a list of the most important issues below. I hope more people here at OTN have experienced these issues and perhaps have some workarounds. And perhaps Oracle can use lists like this to improve the next version of ADF...
<ol><li>Multi record edit We have a lot of multi record edit screens. These are all editable tables. Those tables have the following problems:
<ol type="a"><li>Whenever a partial refresh occurs, the whole table gets reloaded. This takes some time, which is uncomfortable. But the main problem here is that the table does not preserve the scroll bar position. The situation can be improved a little bit by setting the <tt>displayRow</tt> attribute to <tt>"selected"</tt> on the table. This will cause the table to show the selected record at the top of the view port after a refresh. But this still confuses the end users. In their experience the records are randomly jumping around.</li>
<li>Records are not always inserted at the bottom. (In fact, they are inserted above the selected record.) End users simply expect records to be inserted at the bottom of the table, no matter what. And I can't disagree with them. Isn't there a setting to achieve this in ADF?</li>
<li>Whenever the user navigates to another record in the editable table, all validation rules on the record he navigates from are fired. That means he cannot leave a required field empty to fill it later. The end users say this is very annoying. We would like to delay all validation until the user presses the Commit button. But as far as I know this is not possible, is it?</li>
<li>The selected record position is not preserved on a full refresh. Our Commit button forces a full refresh of the page. This sounds like a sensible choice to me. However, users tend to click on Commit quite often. But after a full refresh of the page, the currently selected record in a record set is always reset to the first record in the set. In a large data table, this annoys the users very much. Isn't it possible to preserve the selected record over a full refresh?</ol>
<li>Annoying validation errors Many end users are annoyed by the somewhat "persistent" validation error messages. In a larger form or an editable table, users sometimes want to ignore an error and first enter other data, before correcting the error. This is hardly possible, because ADF sets the input focus to fields with errors and keeps popping up windows with a list of fields that have errors. We would like to make the validation less "aggressive". It is okay to give a field a red border if it contains an error. But leave the input focus where it is. And don't show any popup until the user presses the Commit button. And even then show the popup window only once.</li>
<li>ADF BC caching and business rules in the database We have some business rules in our database that automatically fill some fields with default values. We have e.g. a master-details relation, where a value in the master record is calculated based on the values of the detail records. We have set the calculated field in the master record to "refresh after update" and "refresh after insert". Sometimes the value of the field gets refreshed, but sometimes not. Users know that the field should be calculated by "the system", and are asking if they did something wrong if it doesn't. I know we could do the calculation in ADF, but our policy is to have all business rules in the database and to not repeat ourselves (DRY). Is there another way to guarantee that the calculated value in the master record gets updated after an update or insert of one or more detail records?</li>
<li>Partial refresh loses data If a field causes a partial submit to occur, fields in the same record that were not (partial) submitted before lose their data. This forces us to enable partial submit on all fields. But that causes a delay after moving the focus to the next field and validations to be fired too early.</li>
</ol>
I've numbered the items above, please use these number as a reference if you're posting an answer to a specific question.
Please let me know any solution, even if it is only a partial solution. We've a nasty situation now. Our application is (nearly) finished, but it is blocked for production by the users because of the behavior of the ADF framework, on which we have very little influence. We can't blame the users for that, most of their criticism is fully justified. So we have to come up with a good solution for these issues before we can go to production. So any help would be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Bart Kummel
PS.
We're using JDeveloper/ADF 11.1.1.1.0, we deploy to a WebLogic 10.3.1 server and we have an Oracle 10g database. We're using the full ADF stack: ADF Business Components, ADF Bindings and ADF Faces.

Hi Bart,
I can answer for few of your questions.

End User Rules

Hi Experts,
When I wanted the end users to have access to a Rule, I'm used to add the rule name to the endUserAccess Attributes in the SystemConfiguration object. And it works fine.
But the FAQ page in Sun IDM partner space says that if you specify ur rule as follows,
<Rule authType='EndUserRule'.....>that rule will be accessible by the end user. But this does not work for me. I'm getting the same error id. view access denied for subject blah blah.
Did any body try this ? Or if you have any other idea to give the end users have access to rules please share it.
Regards,
Biju

Make sure to set both the authType as well as the MemberObjectGroups. Here's an example:
<Rule name='testRule' authType='EndUserRule'>
 <block>
 <s>Test</s>
 </block>
 <MemberObjectGroups>
 <ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' name='All'/>
 </MemberObjectGroups>
</Rule>

I get a message saying: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement". HELP!!

Hi i have an iMac with 10.9.3 and when i tried to open a PDF link or a PDF document in Safari 7.0.4 this message appears: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement". What can i do to solve this?

Back up all data before making any changes.
Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in the preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Reader X problem - Accept End User License Agreement

I have recently updated to Adobe Reader X.
I use Windows XP (SP3) and Internet Explorer.
Now, when I attempt to read a .pdf file a Reader X message pops up with the following message;
"Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement".
I do not have Adobe Acrobat, I am using the free Adobe Reader X.
Why am I getting this message and what can I do to stop it so that I can again read .pdf files.
This never happened with the previous version of Adobe Reader.
How can I go back to the previous version?
Thanks
Gryphon2345

I have the same issue reported by Gryphon, however this response is an odd fix IF it were to be available to me.
The "Enable Protected Mode" is a new feature in Reader X that allows for a "sandbox" security layer in Reader. You can read up on that here: http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2010/11/technical-details-of-adobe-reader-x-protected-mod e.html
While it does prevent you from opening up certain PDF's directly, we've only seen this when opening up files over our network. The message received was an "Access Denied" issue, and turning this off got rid of that.
In my scenario, I originally attemtped to update Reader 10.0.1 to 10.1.0 using SCUP and the published update. This caused my custom setup to be overwritten (customizations included default acceptance of license agreement, removing Auto Updater, and disableing Protected Mode). I then had to re-create a custom installation using the Customization Wizard with the 10.1.0 MSI file from the Adobe FTP site. After running this, I'm getting the above error now on machines that never had Acrobat.
That being said, Alex's suggestion of turning this on or off is not applicable b/c it's disabled based on my custom installation. The box is grayed out and I can't even enable/disable it anyway.
Anyone out there have a better solution?
UPDATE: It appears that Alex is correct. I removed the registry entry bProtectedMode from HKLM\Software\Policies\adobe\10.0\featureLockdown and was able to open all files w/out the message. However, I'm not 100% sure what this will do to other PDF files as we originally disabled this so that certain files could be opened. So far, this user has been ok with Protected Mode ENABLED, however, in a recent test, I was blocked from opening a web PDF b/c of it on my PC at my desk.
also appears others threads have been started (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3767559#3767559) so not sure when this may be looked at or answered.

CUP 5.3: Missing End User Personalization and others

Upgraded from 5.2 to 5.3 SP06. I'm expecting to see End User Personalization, User Review, and Change Long submenus in the Configuration tab, but they are missing. I've imported the SP06 XML files for CUP, and configured the system to no avail. I've opened up a support message, but was hoping that someone else has experienced this.

Hi William
Have you done all the steps related with POST upgrade steps in the installation document?
also have you uploaded AE_init_append_data_CC.xml ?
