Changing a local administrator username and password using GP preferences permanently

Windows 2012 AD with W7 clients
I've recently set a group policy preference to rename the built in local administrator account (which was already renamed from the default Administrator) and set a new password for it. This seems to have worked.
However, if I remove the computer from the domain, the username reverts back to the previous one and the password seems to get corrupted and is neither the new one or the old one. As the local admin account is of most use when the computer is not connecting
to the domain for whatever reason this means that it is unusable. Am I doing something wrong or is the implementation of the Group Policy flawed? Any suggestions for a better way?

Hi Tim,
>>However, if I remove the computer from the domain, the username reverts back to the previous one and the password seems to get corrupted and is neither the new one or the old one.
How is it going? I agree with Idan that we can also try to use the setting
Accounts: Rename administrator account to change the name of administrator to see if the issue persists.
Regarding the deprecation of password changing function of GPP, this is mainly due to security concern that GPP stores password in Sysvol which is accessible to all domain users.
If the issue persists or you need further help, please don't hesitate to let us know.

How do I disable administrator username and password entry to access ix4-300d

With the recent version 4.1.102.29716 update, I am now FORCED to enter a username and password to get into my "home based" ix4-300d NAS. This has already been a MAJOR pain for my nedia server setup, in that I am no longer able to create a network drive to one of several NAS folders on to my home network.
My question therefore is, how do I DISABLE the function of having to enter an administrator username and password to gain entry into my ix4-300d?
Thanks,
Bill

No hazzle, just do it.
This is only for admin purposes. You are still able to place your media into individual user shares or put it in the public area where they will be accessible for everyone, even if you set 'security' on.

Try to lookup in the SOA docs this property

Administrator username and password don't work

ok , I have a PowerMac G5, I am the only one who uses the computer, I set up a standard accoun and a admin account, now neither work for username or password, I can't even install my updates. I've tried every combination of usernames and passwords I've ever used, but nothing, any ideas

I have the same problem, but Disk Utility can't even find my hard drive! At "select the disk for which you want to change the password", there's a blank space.
Same thing for the Installer. I want to Erase & Install (have backed up my stuff to another harddrive via FireWire Target Mode), but the Installer can't find a hard drive, it can only find its own installer disk...
The strangest thing is that this morning, after 2 days of not being able to login and restarting and having no response from the computer, all of a sudden it opened with our normal desktopimages, as if all was well! However, it again too much time to do an operation, and when I restarted it, it was back at the question mark, next time at the black screen with white letters, up to what I just wrote above.

SSH local database username and password not working

I have a weird issue. I recently setup an ASA 5510 and had SSH working. To make it easier on my VPN users I then decided I wanted to setup a Windows 2008 Network Policy Server for RADIUS authentication. Ever since I added the RADIUS part to aaa authentication, when I use SSH to connect to the ASA it will not take the local user name and password I have setup. I can however get in using a Domain user name and password. Below is the SSH and AAA configuration. Am I missing something here? The username and password in the ASA is not on the domain and it's like the ASA is not even trying LOCAL when it tries to authenticate. I want it to use the local username and password if possible. I'm kind of new to ASA's..
On another note, I have never been able to SSH in on the internal interface. I always get a "The remote system refused the connection" error message. I can only use the outside interface.
Site-ASA# sh run | in ssh
aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
ssh timeout 60
ssh version 2
Site-ASA# sh run | in aaa
aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS protocol radius
aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS (inside) host 10.0.0.6
aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
aaa authentication http console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
Site-ASA#
If there are any other config that would help I would be more than happy to display them
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I was just coming in to update this because you are exactly correct. For some reason I kept thinking that if the authentication failed via RADIUS it would use local which is not the case.

Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("proxySet","true");
prop.put("http.proxyHost","yourProxy");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","8080"); // change the port
//prop.put("https.proxyHost","yourProxy");
//prop.put("https.proxyPort","8080"); // change the port

I can't send emails, I have tried to go to smtp and change the outgoing email username and password but it won't let me change it!

I have tried to change the smtp username and password but I am not able to even click on the areas to change them. Any suggestions?

Some other thoughts .....
Are you sure there's not an issue on the Yahoo server? Have you checked your email on a computer or via a web browser on the iPad like Safari?
If there is no issues on the server side, the options in my mind are.....
Delete the email account and start over
Reset all settings>Settings>General>ResetAll Settings - you erase all settings on the iPad and start over
Restore from a backup.
Just wait until a little later - or tomorrow and see if you can connect again.
If you just started experiencing this issue today, and if you are a regular iPad backup person (I do it every single day) then you can restore from a backup from yesterday, the day before or from whenever your most recent backup is dated.
You said that you have two other accounts that will not work either so maybe resetting the settings would be the first thing to try. You should be able to at least enter the correct information again if you reset the settings.
I mysteriously lost the ability to connect with one of my email accounts some months ago. I deleted the account and went nuts trying to add it back to the device and I could not get it to work again. I deleted it again and restored from my backup and all was good to go again. Your backups contain your email settings so when I restored from the backup, it restored the email account settings and it worked again.

How to delete websites, usernames, and passwords from safari preferences

ok, selected safari menu, preferences and passwords. took me to a list that showed website, username and password. i selected a website/username/password that i would like to delete. at the bottom it shows "remove all" or "remove". btw, when i selected the website/username/password, it became highlighted. anyway, when i selected remove, the highlight disappeared but the website/username/password remained in the list.
is there a way to delete the website/username/passwords that i choose?

Thank you.
That seems to have done the trick.
I simply deleted them in Keychain and the seem to have gone from Safari Pref's.
Quite why they didn't take no for an answer from Safari I don't quite understand, but matters not.

Hi nk,
In case you are using WS-over-EJB you can try to implement something like described in this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/21/f8424089ff2571e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">tutorial</a>.

I recently changed my Apple ID username and password and now get a message each time I open my iPad to enter my Apple ID to continue to receive downloads. However the message shows the old username for my Apple ID.

I recently changed my Email address which required me to change my username for my Apple ID and my password. The changed has been successful, but each time that I open my iPad, I get a message that I need to enter my Apple ID to continue to receive downloads. The problem is that the username that comes up for entry of the password is the OLD Apple ID username. I have entered the old password and then then I am directed that it is not correct and given advice to change my password or username. I can't figure out how to resolve this issue.

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
