Can local admin users override mcx?

Can a local admin user override managed computer settings? ie, the "automatically hide dock" is set to hide in mcx, but a local admin wants to "always show".
Is this possible?
In another post, I found an interesting statement that might apply, but don't know where to do this:
(https://discussions.apple.com/message/5781831?searchText=Is%20there%20a%20way%20 for%20local%20users%20to%20override%20mcx%20settings#5781831)
"There's a Workgroup Manager Computer settings that allows admin users to turn off managed preferences. Be sure this is disabled."

Hi Don,
Thanks for your suggestions.

Clients local admin user is managed - how can it be unmanaged

Hi. I have a local user on all my client machines called admin with admin rights. Have had this same user with same password for many years for over 300 client machines from emacs to intel macs. With the 10.6.3-5 server update (major issues for the last6 months) with 10.6.2-5 intel imac clients, logging in as admin gives me a reduced dock. just finder and trash. Every use of any applications comes up with "you dont have permission to use the application "xyz". with 3 buttons Always Allow, Allow once and OK. entering admin and password always results in a second box with the same message. entering admin and password then allows me to use it. This behaviour does not happen on 10.5.8 clients and has never happened before.
In system preferences it says administrator, admin is managed. clicking the lock and authenticating allows me to access the tick for Enable parental controls. If I click on the tick to remove it, it comes up with the message. "You cannot enable parental controls for an adminstrator account. Create a new user account etc." It is unticked but the tick comes back on restarting the system preferences and even restarting the computer immediately.
I have tried deleting managed prefs etc but to no avail. I have tried removing the computer from the network account server and I get my dock back and can use applications but it still says I am a managed user. and I need the network account server for student logins. Any thoughts how to unmanaged local admin users on client machines to get back to the way it has been since 10.2.4 clients!!!

Did you try creating a new admin user, and then using that new account to make the Change to unmanage your "admin" account?
I don't think osx will let you create anaccount called admin these days, as security precaution. Perhaps that has something to do with your problem.

How to reset local admin user password in

Dear members,
i want to reset local admin account(not administrator built-in), let say i have user adminlocal and member in administrator group. my question, how to reset this user via GPO in domain, because i have more than 5000 workstation in my environment. and how to
generate summary of all workstation which are password reset.
i've tried from this link,
http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1966-how-to-change-local-user-or-admin-passwords-on-remote-computers
using PSTools sysinternal from microsoft, but while i execute one PC on domain for sample using this script, they showing access denied
anyone in this forum can help me to resolve this problem?.

Dear,
you can use Powershell to do this.
I've found a script in the script center which can do this.
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/66a5b38f-cdf1-4126-aa0c-be65e16dd650/view/Discussions#content
Set-Password -computer 'server' -user 'Administratorlocal'
You can create a loop in powershell to check all your servers which you've posted in a .txt file for example.
$strcomputers = Get-Content c:\servers.txt
foreach ($strcomputer in $strcomputers)
$admin=[adsi]("WinNT://" + $strComputer + "/administratorlocal, user")
$admin.psbase.invoke("SetPassword", "Whatever1")

Deny local admin users from logging on (or at least restrict them)

I have a fully managed environment (AD authentication, using managed preferences from OD) that I am testing before rollout.
My concern is that once preferences are managed, admin users will be able to create local admin accounts (I can't block the accounts pane otherwise users will not be able to change their passwords), then login and bypass preference management.
Is there a way for local admin accounts logging on to inherit a default set of preferences that are only applied when a local account (or someone not in one of my directory groups) logs in, or better still - DENY local admins from logging in, or deny anyone from being able to create new local accounts?
(Please don't suggest denying the users admin rights - it's not possible for political reasons).
Many thanks in advance!
FZ.

There is no root or admin privilege that controls root or admin privilege. You have it, or you don't.
I've been in exactly this case many years ago, and with replete with the politics of privileges and perceived prestige.
I ended up documenting the foibles of the privileged folks and the time spent on recovery and restoration and related for each event, and waiting for a sufficient accumulation of same (and that didn't take very long), and I then preemptively yanked the access.
Yes, the good folks squawked. Loudly. Yes, I got called onto the carpet.
The Designated Responsible Individual (DRI) was then left to ruminate and make a decision, and (with the assistance of the foibles-related documentation around the efforts and time and costs) made the call. The proffered alternative (with the costs and the design and time estimates ready) with a private subnet or private LAN and private services and and a dedicated firewall configured between the privileged folks and the production LANs to keep the good folks safe and secure. Here's what that'll cost...
Either way, you've punted the responsibility and the decision up the management chain to the DRI.
(Oh, wait, did I mention which way that firewall was going to be facing? No? Oops. Bummer.)

OD and local admin user

I've setup some shares that are used by a few OD clients, but when I'm logged into the server as the admin user, I don't have any permission to those file/folders. Is there any way to over come this? I've created a group for the relevant users, but I can not add this group to the admin account in WGM. I only see this group when I'm looking at the LDAP accounts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just tried setting up an OD group with a local user included. I find that WGM does not show the user in the local group unless I search for him. Here are the steps that worked for me:
1. Go to the OD /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 node
2. Click on the groups tab and select the group
3. Hit the plus to add a member
4. Pick /NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode at the top of the U&G drawer
5. In the search field, type the first few letters of the admin user
=> The account name magically appears for me and I can add it to the group.

Can local admin change the root password in Mavericks

One of my people and I keep going back and forth with this question. I remember reading somewhere (cannot find it now) that in 10.9 Apple changed it, so a local admin could not longer change the root password if it has been enabled by the IT group.

AFAIK, any admin account user can set/change the root password. See OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user for details. If you or IT don't trust your people, don't give them admin privileges.

Why can't Admin Users see what I've given them permission to see?

I have a Secure Zone set up on my client's site and have set them up with 3 admin users and given them permissions to view and edit the secure zones. However, when their Admin Users go in to the Admin Console and click on Site Manager they can only see Web Forms and System Emails. What's going wrong?

Does not sound like you have set up the roles correctly.

How to make Windows 7 local admin user account transparent

Previously with Windows XP, I would use the autolog.exe to have the local windows account login transparently while the user would login via their novell credentials. My company would like to roll out Windows 7 now, but unfortuantely, we are unable to make the windows local account log in transparent. I do not want my users to know this password - also it would really confuse them as they are not tech savvy to understand it.
Is there a way that I can make this happen? If you need more information, please ask and I will provide. Not sure what other info may be required here.
I am using Novell Client 2 SP2 - i find the SP3 to be problematic, but if SP3 would resolve this, I am open to the idea.

The easy solution is autoadminlogon:

But a far more elegant solution would be to use ZENWorks

Local admin user's folder damaged / missing on 10.4.2 server

my admin account on my 10.4.2 server cropped up a new problem over the weekend. The user folder is missing or damaged, so upon login, i get a default dock et al, and a warning that the folder in /users/admin can't be found. If I look there in the finder, it lists it, with no icon, no contents, messed up ownership, etc. Any idea how I can fix this?? My client is a bit worried about their server due to this. thanks! Running disk utility and repairing permissions didn't help.

Can two "admin" users share exactly the same apps, docs and files?

With a view to improving the speed of my Macbook and resolve certain issues with the current user, I am attempting to switch to a new user and I was wondering if there was a way to enable such new user to access all files and privileges of the previous one so as to make the transition quick and easy.
Thank you for your help.

Go into your Mac's hard disk by double-clicking on it. Then single-click on the icon that's shaped like a little house. This is your home directory. Get info on your home directory.
In the get info window, look toward the bottom part of the window. See where it says "Ownership & permissions?" There's a little box called "details" there, so click the triangle to reveal the details, then in the group and others fields, change them to say "read & write."
Then below that section, there's a button labeled, "Apply to enclosed items" which you should click. This will give every account on your computer read/write access to your files and folders.

Same problem here. Have you found a solution for this? I have tried to delete the entry for the local admin in /library/Managed Preferences and all caches, but it just keeps coming back.

How to reset password of a local admin in window 8.1

Hi, I have a window 8.1 machine with only a local admin user. Accidentally, the user id got locked due to three incorrect attempts and not i cannot get in to the machine. To reset the password, i tried to use the password reset USB from other machine as
i cannot create from the same machine but it didn't work. I also tried to change the password through command prompt but
Please suggest how I can reset the Password or unlock the userID of the local admin user.
Thanks,
Kunal

Hi,
A locked-out account cannot be used until it is reset by an administrator or until the lockout duration for the account has expired.
If you remember the password,you may type the password after the lockout duration for the account has expired.
If you forget the password,please refer to the link below:

What is the "admin" user in EAS Console?

I am still relatively new to Planning and Essbase. I am trying to figure out the relevance of "admin" user in the Essbase Administration Console. My colleague and I have seen several instances of this admin user in EAS console but it doesn't appear to represent a "live" user. We have also seen references to "admin@native directory" in the Essbase and EssbaseODL logs. In the last couple of days, we were unable to run a script that automatically backs up a database because this admin user was performing a spreadsheet operation. We were able to successfully force the admin account off via the console but we know for a fact that no one else is logged in.
Below are excerpts from the Essbase log. Please see the text in red.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Admin user is a administrator user or a super user in essbase .Admin user has full permission to access the entire system which includes all users and groups.Admin user has the rights to create users Perform dataloads,write and execute calculations,delete users
In your log i can see admin user was active and doing some operations. EPM11hypplan user has forced admin user logout of server.I guess you have set up EPM11hypplan user which has same privilege of admin user to run process.Also check if any particular job process is run via admin id .
