  • Change users from Administrator account to user account using domain controller

    good day,
    In our domain controller we have around 1200 users, all these users have admin account and there is the problem.
    I want to change them to a user accounts so they can not change IP address and install or uninstall programs with out our consent.
    Is there a possibility to do this with the domain controller, because i don't want to go change the computers one by one. from admin account to user account.
    Thank you so much

    Hi,
    I agree with
    Ravikumar. I assume what you mean is local admin rights. Since you have so many users which
    have local admin rights, you would have created an administrator group and add all the users to that group in Local Users and Groups of Computer Management. You can remove them from the administrator group and add them to a user group.
    More information:

  • Restrict Permission to change the Folder name of Cfolder Collaboration

    Hi,
    As a part of my requirement i would like to restrict the users having the 'WRITE' authorizations  from changing the folder name of folders created under the collaboration. It would be great if you any one can provide some inputs to achieve it

    Hello Vikas,
    I can tell you a workaround, how to achieve this.
    as an administrator with admin authorization navigate into a folder press the authorization button and select read authorization for (a) user(s)/user group(s)/role(s) used in the collaboration.
    Then create under the folder a new folder "Workspace" and navigate into this folder press the authorization button and select write authorization for (a) user(s)/user group(s)/role(s) used in the collaboration.
    The procedure could be automated by writing a piece of code, which calls the cFolders APIs:

  • OSDCOMputer name issue - MDT2013+SCCM 2012

    Hi , 
    I have setup Sequence table along with prefix, and a stored procedure to update the computeridentity table, all works fine it updates the sequence number and computer name  BUT 
    i am unable to get the OSDCOMPUTERNAME set to same name as computeridentity table has when its imaged with windows 7  it always sets to default MINIT-xxx name.
    i am using stand alone media created form SCCM 2012.
    Please suggest how to get the same machine name as updated in Computeridentity table. any settings to be done on CS.ini ?
    Thanks

    You also need the sections to pull the information from the database.
    see this link which explains what happens
    http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles-tutorials/windows-7/Deploying-Windows-7-Part16.html
    You will see multiple sections such as CSettings, RSettings etc which will need adding. I would sugest you configure your MDT instance as shown n the above post then copy the relevant sections rom your MDT CustomSettings.ini in to your SCCM CustomSettings.ini
    you have shown above.
    You obviously need to make sure you amend the priority list to include these new sections.
    I hope that makes sense?
    Thanks,

  • How can I uniquely identify computers on the same network/account specifically for airdrop use?  When I change name on one computer under contacts if changes on all computers.

    How can I uniquely identify computers on the same network/account specifically for airdrop use?  When I change name on one computer under contacts it changes on all computers.  I would like to change icon and name for each computer.

    you would need to setup a VPN and tunnel into your office.
    FYI..the default ports are 3283 and 5900.

  • My password only works to log into the computer, but not to make admin changes, even though I am the admin account on the computer.  This happened after I tried to change the computer's name. Is there any way to fix this?

    Bought my laptop off my room mate and he had master reset it to default.  This still left his name as the computer name and I wanted to change that.  Tried to rename it under the advanced changes section, and now it isn't recognizing my password for anything more than logging in.  I can't unlock the settings to make further changes (or change it back).  I have had my room mate try all of his old passwords and usernames, to no avail.  Is there a way to reset this?  It's also not letting me wipe the drive and start fresh again because, alas, I don't have access without the password.  Any advice would be very helpful.  Thank you!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Computer name keeps changing by integer Name (2)

    My 2011 i7 iMac running 10.7.4, regularly changes the computer name. Always when rewaking it from sleep, the "Name" becomes "Name (2)". It claims "the name is already in use on this network". And this assertion is most certainly false. A quick search informs me this issue has existed since 10.5.8; I am experiencing it on 10.7.4 so I have to assume the cause has not been investigated or not found (or both).
    Since the issue seems linked to Shared Resources I am going to try not sharing anything from this iMac from now going forward to see if this ends the behavior.
    Whats really iritating about this is that the System Preferences > Sharing panel has a Lock on it that is *supposed* lockout changes to the settings under it. But the system is bybassing that lock mark and changing something without asking. Not okay.

    I have been having the same problem ever since updating to 10.7.4.  I have read of other people having this problem too, without resolution, so I presume it to be an Apple bug that will get ironed out in the next update.
    Hope this helps

  • Changing the screen name or computer name.

    when i installed leopard and it asked for information on the computer name i put the wrong information. how do i change the computer name. i looked in accounts under system prefences and i changed the name there but in finder under places where there is the home button it is the old one. how do i completely change all of it to the new one.
    thanks

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, unlock the padlock, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change it. If you change the home directory's path, you also need to move its contents in the Finder.

  • Computer name change and Network name

    Recently I changed my computer name from "XY Z's Computer" to one without the dreaded apostrophe and the spaces.
    I did this in Sharing under Computer Name:
    However, after doing this and rebooting, the new name is there - good - but if in Sharing Preferences, I click Internet Sharing and then click Airport Options, my original name is there, under the title, Network name:
    Is there a single location where these changes can be made simultaneously?
    Are there any other places where one might find the original computer name?
    Is this a bug or simply something not well-documented that I should have known about?

    i'd like to know how to do this also

  • How to change your 'computer name' ?

    I have just 'migrated' ( using the software install - by a firewire cable ) from my old PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro - Everything is fine except now my MacBook Pro is called PowerBook G4 15" on the start-up screen and system profiler title.
    My question is how do you change this 'computer name' ?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Ti-Powerbook/MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    You can change your computer name in System Preferences (found under the Apple menu) in the Sharing pane. At the top of the pane it will say Computer Name: PowerBook G4 15".
    Note that the name can contain spaces. Mine, for example, is Ministry of Magic.
    Delete the current name and enter the new name. Note that you do not have to click the edit button out to the right. That is only useful if you want to change the bonjour address on your local subnet to be something different from NewComputerName.local (where NewComputerName is the new name you just changed it to.
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • How can I change my computer name

    My work computer is named the previous person who had it who's not hear any more.
    Now it says the name is: "his name -  my name"
    How can I change the name to just my name?
    Thx,
    Steven

    Thanks Eric. I note a few differences though.
    First there is no "Users & Groups" icon in the top level of System Prefs. However while exploring I found under "Sharing" you can change the computer's name there. One would think it's in Accounts, but it's not. I did add myself as an Admin when I first got  here but that just appended my name with a hyphen to the previous employee name
    So I changed Computer name to my name in the field in Sharing and then saw there's an Edit button. There you can change the lost hostname, whatever that is. I shouldn't do these things without knowing, I know, but I changed it but it doesn't allow spaces and adds hyphens. Since I have a Home comper, I named this work computer differently and hypens were added plus the suffix; .local.
    There is a "Use dynamic global hostname checkbox which was unchecked so I left it that way. Do you know what the global hostname does and if I need to check it? What happens when you do?
    Making the local hostname: my name-V1-Computer.Local, didn't change the Computer name field when you return to it. It still has the name I gave it before assigning the .local name.
    But if I go into MM for example and then Advance to see which computers sync to MM, I see my home computer and work computer which is still named: previous emloyee's Computer - Steven Lastname (This Computer). So obviously the complete computer name hasn't changed.
    The article you give above gets you to the Directory Utility in Utilities to change the Root info.
    It says after open the lock icon: Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
    But the only thing to do in the main Directory Utility is: Add/configure a Directory server, again don't know what that does, but clicking it all you can do is set the drop down to: Open Directory or Active Directory, fill in the Server Name or IP Address field.
    There are no fields for "enter admin account and pw" which I assume is me since I'm listed that way in Sys Prefs > Accounts, and the only Admin listed for this computer.
    So I'm at an impasse. I don't see why this is all sy cryptic, but assume it's for security purposes. Well it's working. I can config my own computer
    Am way of the beaten path? In a parallel universe? Or close?
    Sorry for long email, but hopefully this will end up being a good tutorial for the next happless chap that can't rename his/her computer.

  • My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address.  How do I play the music that I have purchased?  My account is current with the new email address.

    My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address.  How do I play the music that I have purchased?  My account is current with the new email address.

    You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

  • How to change the computer name

    I need to change the computer name but after this I cannot access to the historical data (printing alarms).
    I have already changed the settings in Options->System and restarted the system.
    With MAX 3.0 I can see that all the alarm records are stored with the old computer name \\computer name\process\....
    How can I do to read the old alarms with the new computer name?
    Thank you
    Michael

    Hi,
    When you change the computer name in Options>>System, you are not changing the name of the computer. Rather, you are telling Lookout to log to either a remote or local system. Here are the specifics:
    1. Computer Name: Name you want the traces to appear with (\\computer_name\process\...)
    2. Default Computer: Computer you want to log to. If the name listed here is different than your computer's name (as seen by Windows), then it will attempt to log directly to that remote machine.
    3. Default Path: Directory on either your local or remote machine that you want to log to.
    To change the name of your local computer, you will need to do that in Windows. If you have WinXP, you can do this by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Computer Name.
    Go
    od Luck

  • Changing the Computer name with ARD

    Hello, I am new to mac but I am now in charge of running a mac network or machines for an art department. I see that with ARD you cna change the computer name. If you change the computer name does it just change anything on the client machine? I just want to change the name in my All computers name so its easier to identify each users machine.

    There are four User-fields that you can enter information into with ARD. What I've done in the past is put the primary user of a computer into one of those fields. That way the user doesn't appear in the machine name, but I can still easily access this information.
    Note that if these computers are also in a Workgroup Manager group, that WGM will just change the name back on you. You would need to rename the computer through Workgroup Manager for this name change to take affect.
