Configuring Settings for iPad users with OS X Server

Good afternoon!
i work for a government agency and we are fairly new to the Apple in the workplace environment. We have 25 total iPads and are trying to Manage them with OS X Server. What we are trying to acomplish is preventing the user from connecting the iPad to their own workstation. all backups and such are done over iCloud. There are other things we are trying to acomplish but this is the most confusing for me. any help would be appreciated.

ChangeConfigurationByName fails with "The specified configuration settings for Settings are invalid."

Hello,
I am tryint to update deployment and always have following error
"The specified configuration settings for Settings are invalid. Verify that the service configuration file is a valid XML file, and that role instance counts are specified as positive integers."
Have found similar
thread and
stack overflow - without any success. I am not chaning anyting. Just reading deployment configuration and tryint to update with the same settings. I use .net azure sdk wrappers to generate requests. Code looks like:
var deployment = client.Deployments.GetByName(location.DataCenter, location.Cluster);var result = client.Deployments.ChangeConfigurationByName(location.DataCenter, location.Cluster, new DeploymentChangeConfigurationParameters{ Configuration = deployment.Configuration});

Hi,
The configuration file is a file with extension .cscfg. If you have Visual Studio, the file is automatically generated when you create the project, and automatically updated when you modify the project's properties.
>> Not sure were could I get content of this file from api?
It's needed to encode this file's content use base64, and put the result in the body of your request. (Please refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee758710.aspx for more information.)

However, may I know how you find the body for your request? (It seems you do a base64 decoding, you find it is a valid configuration file, but it doesn't have any configuration settings.) Actually, the settings defined in csdef needed to
be contained in the configuration file.

How to configure default parental settings for all users (10.7)?

Hello,
I've made a silent installation of iTunes using MSI files and it works well.
I need to enable parental controls and configure it. Users must be preventing of changing these settings.
At the end of the iTunes installation I automatically created registry keys :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls]
"AdminFlags"=dword:001b7ac5
"AdminMoviesLimit"=dword:000000c8
"AdminTVShowsLimit"=dword:000001f4
"AdminRatingSystemID"=dword:0000000b
"AdminGamesLimit"=dword:0000012c
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 it is the procedure to set default parental settings for all users and to lock these settings.
When iTunes is first launched, parental settings are not set nor locked.
I use iTunes 64 bits on Windows 7 64 bits.
Where is the mistake?
Thanks in advance.

Win7 and Reader X - default settings for ALL users/profiles

I have a custom browser/app that opens PDF's within the app which can sometimes cause issues. I found that if I set Reader X to not open in the browser (Edit>Preferences>Internet - uncheck "Display PDF in Browser") that this does resolve most issues. My problem...when changed this only affects the current user/profile that's logged in. Potentially there can be dozens of users on these laptops. The other setting is when opening a PDF, I get the warning about Protected Mode not being able to be used due to the current configuration. I can select "Always open with Protected Mode disabled" and I no longer get the message; but again, current user/profile only.
Is there a way to set these settings for ALL users/profiles? Running Win7 (32bit) with Reader X.

I do not know why you experience this; what exactly happens when a non-admin users attempts to highlight something?
You are talking about highlighting in the same document?

OS X Server 4.0.3 Profile Manager Settings for Mobile Users problems

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with Server 4.0.3
We are using Profile Manager to control Settings for Mobile Users, and give homeSync to the users. Our problem is that the exclude / Skip items (Items matching any of the following will not sync" This setting is not working an example. I have put this folder to Skip Items ~/Downloads but the home Sync still Syncing items in the Downloads folder.
I have this problem on all the 3 users/machines on that server. Every client is using os x 10.10.1 og 10.10.2 I have check that the profile from the server is on the client.
Has any a solution to that?
Regards
Brian

I have no solution but have experienced failing sync settings (quite often) in both 10.6 Server and 10.9 + Server 3 (upgraded from 10.6 Server) in the same way as you described, it syncs too much. We have given up on synched home folders and will cut them and use other backup methods since we’re not so dependant on switching between different devices. Our users usually have one computer, one iPhone, one iPad and stay with those until it’s time to exchange them.

The first phone he had was a samsung galaxy s3 mini but he couldn't get used to it as had used his old iphone4 for over 4 years before it died
The samsung galaxy s3 mini was sent back and a nice shiny iphone4s was sent out instead and he got it on the date up top

Security settings for all users

I recently developed a document that requires digital signatures and have been testing it. The only downside is that when a user opens the document, Adobe prompts for the installation of new security settings, and it installs it for that user only. I need to add a registry key to the new security settings, but it is only available to be added to the current user hive. Does anyone know how to install the new settings for all users?
Here is the registry key I need to add.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Security\cPubSec]
"bSelfSignCertGen"=dword:00000000
Im using Adobe Reader 9.3 and Win XP.
Any help would be terrific!
Thanks.

Hi,
There are really two separate issues. First, is Adobe pushing updates to the Acrobat Address Book (i.e. adding certificates as trust anchors) and the second issue is how you can push your own update to disable the creation of self-signed digital IDs. Although the two issues share an underlying mechanism, they are separate and you cannot leverage one for the other.
First issue first. Adobe has entered into partnership with certain Certificate Authorities and has created a mechanism to add their certificates to the Acrobat Address Book (aka Manage Trusted Identities) using http to send a copy of the Security Settings file that contains only digital IDs. There are two ways to trigger the download process. One is to go into the Preferences, select Trust Manager, and click the Update Now button in the Automatic Updates group box. The other method is to load the DigSig plug-in (beginning with Acrobat 9, plug-ins no longer load a launch in order to speed up the launch process). As I'm sure you have deduced, opening a file with a signature field cause the DigSig plug-in to load which in turn triggers the automatic download. The reason we have limited the automatic download to DigSig being loaded is because the vast majority of people viewing PDFs are not using the digital signature functionality (much to my personal chagrin because the more people use digital signatures, the better my job security ) and we didn't want to bother them with an update they would never need. People already complain that there are too many updates, and we are trying to limit the irritability factor. To close the loop on this function, once the download process has been triggered the Acrobat check two more things before it does the update, 1) has it been a month since I checked and, 2) if it has been a month is there a new file to download. This way we are not pestering people with unneeded updates, or if they do need the update, at least not too often. And finally, Address Book management has to be on a per user basis. A certificate that you may elect to trust could be a certificate that the next person want to specifically keep untrusted. The Windows Certificate Store, Mac Keychain and Firefox Certificate Manager all work on a per user basis.
That brings us to what you would like to do. The good news is you can use the Export Security Settings featrue to create a distributable file that will set the preference. The real question is how will you distribute the file, but before we get to that, here is how to create the file.
With Acrobat closed, set the registry setting you noted in the message above
Launch Acrobat
Select the Advanced > Security > Export Security Settings menu item
Click the Deselect All button on the Export Security Settings dialog
Select the Signing Preferences Settings checkbox
Click the OK button on the Export Security Settings dialog
Select Signature Creation Settings and note "Allow creation of self-signed Digital IDs" is set to No
Click the Export button on the toolbar
Follow the on screen dialogs. You don't have to encrypt the file, but you must sign it with a certifying signature
At this point you have the file available for distribution. You could e-mail it to your intended recipients with import instructions, or you could post if for download, or you could set the Preference the to automatically push the file from a server. To check this feature out select the Edit > Preferences menu item and then select Security from the Categories list box. You would need to select the Load security settings from a server checkbox and then set up the URL. As an aside, you can also export these settings by selecting the Automatic Update Settings checkbox on the Export Security Settings dialog noted in the bullet points above. You have a chicken and egg problem in that you have to get the users to first manually import the file in order to set up the automatic import. That I can't help you with, you're just going to have to decide what works best for you.
Good luck,
Steve

Need MBAM 2.5 Helpdesk and selfservice sites to open for authenticated users with no password prompt

I Need MBAM 2.5 Helpdesk and self service sites to open for authenticated users with no password prompt. I just cant seem to get this to work. The account used in the application pool has its SPN registered and delegation set. I can use that account to login
to the sites but am prompted for a password. That said anyone I add into the helpdesk users group cannot negotiate the sites. Only the account I have set in the application pool can. I want domain authenticated users that have been added to the MBAM Help Desk
Users group to negotiate the site with NO password challenge at all.
tconners

This generally means that your SPN is not set up correctly. Let's say the web server you installed the SSP on is lance.contoso.com and your app pool creds are corp\lance. You should set an SPN similar to setspn -s http/lance.contoso.com
corp\lance. In your browser, you should now be able to access the SSP without prompts. However, if you still get prompted, generally that means that your local intranet zone in IE does not have an entry for *.contoso.com. Since you are entering
an FQDN in your browser, IE interprets the "." to mean "on the internet" which breaks Kerberos authentication. By adding *.contoso.com to your local intranet zone, you are telling it that lance.contoso.com is on the intranet, so use
Kerberos.
I can confirm, that I have exact configuration and I always get the password promt for the very first time. We have 2 server (1xIIS and 1xSQL) infrastructure in production with SPN set like it should and I get the password prompt.

MM01 tcode for SD user with restriction to SD related codes only

Dear Experts
How can we assign MM01 Authorisation for SD user with a restriction that he can access only SD RELATED MATERIAL ONLY ?, Why because the material master is same for MM Module and SD Module Product Master also.
There is no listing for Material Group parameter in the Material Object
Material Type Object : M_MATE_MAR
Material Object : M_MATE_MAT
Thanks in advance
Please advise me.
Regards
PS Prasad

Dear Corinne Müller
First of all, let me say Sorry for the late reply to your post.
I have gone through the objects you have told to that particular SD User.
He have been already assigned those objects. But one thing I have observer
here is the authorisation object you have given M_MATE_WGR
contains 2 parameters those are
(01) Activity 01, 02, 03
(02) Authorization Group
The above said (02) parameter does not contains any data to select in its dropdown box. I think functional people does not created material groups
while doing configuration part.
So, here I can not distinguish the material whether it related to SD Module OR MM Module. And can not restrict user's to access TCode MM01 basing on their module related material only. Am I right ????
Any further suggetions ?????
Thanks for your reply.
I am just learner in BASIS. Kindly be in touch with my e-mail id.
My E-Mail id : [email protected]
Thanks once again

Unable to retrieve settings for this user

Just setting up my new mac mini server for first time. It is updated to Mountain Lion. Setup local network user account with account name same as local short names on other macs (same on all of my mcahines). Then used System Prefs> Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.... to add a server account. Used exact same account info as on server (had both open to view).
Get the message: "unable to retrieve settings for this user"
Turned of firewalls... still not change.
Did search for this problem.... no real helpful responses.
Thought I was following all the basic steps to add a local network user. What am I missing?
Thanks

This message gets thrown if no services are enabled that the wizard wants. Enable calendar, contacts, email, etc and it will connect. This threw me off until I turned on the contact server for the heck of it and it started working.

it does not create easily accessible menus and shortcuts that many power
users need.
The common configuration problems that developers often face, but may
not know how to fix include:
<ul>
Quickly Launching JDeveloper</li>
Invoking the JDeveloper Help system (without running JDeveloper)</li>
Adding external tools to JDeveloper's Tools menu</li>
Editing JDeveloper Configuration files</li>
</ul>
This document explains how to perform the above tasks, and hopefully, you
will learn how simple customizing your Windows &; JDeveloper environment
can be.

</ul>
<h2>
<hr WIDTH="100%"></h2>
<h2>
Detailed Instructions</h2>
1. If you have not previously executed JDeveloper, Run JDeveloper once
and exit.
This creates the initial JDeveloper.ini
2. Create links to JDeveloper's key files.
<blockquote>Right click on the Windows Start menu
Select Explore All Users to launch an Explorer window
We will refer to this as Explorer Window #2 because it has 2 panes
(left &; right)
Note: This directory structure is also used by the Windows Start menu,
thus adding folders here is the same as adding menu items to the Start
menu decedents, Adding folders here is the same as adding sub-menus!
In the right hand pane of Explorer Window #2, double click on Programs.
Double click on the Oracle JDeveloper Folder.
Select menu File | New / Folder to create a new folder.
Name the folder, Customize
Right click on the JDeveloper icon (either one)
Select the Properties menu to launch the JDeveloper
properties dialog,
<blockquote>Switch to the Shortcut Tab.
Copy the path portion of the Target string (exclude JDeveloper.exe)
into the clipboard (Select + Ctrl-C )
Cancel the Properties dialog</blockquote>
Press windows Start | Run... menu
Paste clipboard contents (Ctrl+V) in the open line.
Press OK to create an Explorer window.
We will refer to this as Explorer Window #1 because it has 1 pane.
Note that Explorer Window #1 is focused on your JDeveloper bin
directory.
Next we will create shortcuts to key JDeveloper files which are directly
accessible from your windows start menu.
Situate the two explorer windows so they do not overlap (shrink window
size if necessary)
We will be dragging from Explorer Window #1 to Explorer Window #2.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.ini inside of Customize folder/menu.
In Explorer Window #2, Double click on Customize folder
In Explorer window #1, find and select JDeveloper.ini.
***Important: Right Click
and Drag JDeveloper.ini from Explorer Window #1 and right-drag to Explorer
Window #2 and release the right mouse button in the right pane.
Then a small context menu appears, select the menu item Create
Shortcut(s) Here
This created a shortcut to JDeveloper.ini.
// Create Shortcut to Tools.cfg inside of Customize folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for Tools.cfg
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Navigate to LIB dir
In Explorer Window #1, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon.
Now Double click on the LIB directory Folder.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.properties inside of Customize folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for JDeveloper.properties.
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Create Shortcut to JBO.properties inside of Customize folder/menu.
[Optional] Lets repeat the process for JBO.properties.
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Navigate to DOC dir
In Explorer Window #1, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon.
Now Double click on the Doc directory Folder.
In Explorer Window #2, lets navigate one directory level up by pressing
the Folder UP arrow icon. This places us in the folder where the JDeveloper
shortcut is.
// Create Shortcut to JDeveloper.chm inside of JDeveloper folder/menu.
Lets repeat the process for JDeveloper.chm
Right click-drag from Explorer window #1 to Explorer Window #2 and
choose Create Shortcut(s) Here.
// Create Quick Launch Shortcut to JDeveloper.
If you do not have the Windows Quick Launch Menu enabled, Right click
on your Task bar, but not on any icons and Select Menu ToolBars | Quick
Launch to display Quick Launch Menu
Now Select JDeveloper from Explorer Window #1 and Right click-drag
to the Quick Launch Area (on windows Task Bar) and choose Create Shortcut(s)
Here.
This creates a Quick Launch icon for launching JDeveloper from the
Quick Launch area.
To verify everything is OK, you can now select the Window Start menu
| Programs | Oracle JDeveloper... and you should see links to all the new
files we just added.
When everything is as you like, close both explorer windows.</blockquote>
3. Enable JDeveloper's output console window
<blockquote>Select Windows Start menu | Programs | Oracle JDeveloper |
JDeveloper.ini
If windows asks you what to use to edit this file choose Write.
Search for LogConsole=0 and change it to LogConsole=1
Save the file and exit the editor.
This Console window is very important for Advanced programmers because
they can see various output including exceptions during their IDE interaction,
Addin processing.</blockquote>
4. Add more tools to JDeveloper's Tools menu
<blockquote>Select Windows Start menu | Programs | Oracle JDeveloper |
Tools.CFG
If windows asks you what to use to edit this file, choose Write.
Add the following lines to the END of your Tools.cfg file.
***Important: Be sure to make
appropriate path changes suitable for your environment.
Note: You may want to add your own favorite tools to this file for
invocation from JDeveloper.

JDeveloper.</blockquote>
6. Start Developing with JDeveloper.
<blockquote>Your new shortcuts can make launching JDeveloper, JDeveloper
help files, external utilities, and configuring JDeveloper super easy.</blockquote>
<h2>
<hr WIDTH="100%"></h2>

Default User Template for AD users with Win home dirs

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible for AD users with Windows based home directories to get a default user template given to them the first time they login to a Mac bound to AD?
I can give local users and users with home dirs on our Xserve my default user settings via the English.lproj template, but I cannot for the life of me get this to work for those users with Windows based home directories.
This is a biggie since my boss has mandated that ALL our student home directories are to be hosted under Windows from now on...
Thanks in advance.

So you are using roaming profiles on AD and when they log into a Mac you want to setup their default, is that what I am hearing?
You will need to modify the English.lproj on the local machine to setup the default template. Since the mac server is not involved in the authentication and hosting of a roaming AD account with windows home folder, the client creates the home folder initially. Modify the default English.lproj on the clients.

Please tell me configuration settings for Availability check

HI gurus,
