Create a custom MMC snap-in for Help Desk to edit Passwords.

Hi all,
My scenario is similar to the scenario found here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3f0dbf8e-636b-45fe-93db-f788d5b976fd/allow-help-desk-to-only-reset-user-passwords?forum=winserverManagement.  
"I'd like to come up with a way for [Managers] to be able to change someone's password and/or unlock
the user account if applicable.  I'm hesitant to add them to the Account Operators built-in group since this would give them the rights to add/remove from groups, create or delete accounts and so much more that doesn't apply to their responsibilities.
A web interface for them to use or something other simple and small would be preferred.  I know there
are pricey 3rd-party apps that can compartmentalize system rights for user accounts, but first I'd like to explore simpler options."
My Question: Most of my scenario has been answered in the above link, however, I am not sure how to create a custom MMC snap-in that will allow Managers to edit user passwords from their workstation. Also, if I create a
MMC snap-in is there a way to deploy it with group policy to the managers or would I have to log in to each of the managers workstations and set it up manually?
All answers are greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help. 

Hi,
Please refer to the following article and check if can help you.

if I create a MMC snap-in is there a way to deploy it with group policy to the managers
I don’t think that you can achieve the target directly by using group policy. Just another thought, you may create a script to deploy the MMC snap-in. Then add the script
as Logon script in Group policy and
assign user logon scripts to those specific users. Just a thought, thanks for your understanding.
If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

  • Database design for Help Desk application.

    Hello does any one know
    Database design for Help Desk application.
    ERD
    Business rules and features
    ?

    The best way to approach a database design is to write a
    specification for the application. Document what processes the help
    desk technicians will do. In the process, identify what pieces of
    information they work with. When you have the complete
    specification written, you can then begin grouping the pieces of
    information they work with together. For example, a ticket may have
    a number, status, priority and a person to whom it is assigned. The
    person to whom the ticket is assigned will have a name, phone
    number, e-mail address and a list of technical skills.
    So in this overly-simplified example, we could have a table
    that contains ticket information, a table that has information
    about technicians and a table of skills. Then ask your self
    questions like "Can one ticket be handled by more than one
    technician?" "Can one technician handle more than one ticket?" Can
    a technician have more than one skill?" In this way, you can begin
    seeing the one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships
    that exist.

  • Project Server 2010 - create a custom enterprise project field for persons (no text, no lookup table...)

    I want to create a custom enterprise project field and would like to use instead of for example a text attribute or a look-up table a field for employees (e.g. project manager) which are coming e.g. from the Active Directory. But when creating this custom
    project field I cannot see such an option. What solution do you suggest as I want to avoid that everybody uses different names and spellings for e.g. the project manager and without having to fill the lookup table with all resources of the company.
    Thank you so much for your help!

  • Can I create a custom resolution of 1440x900 for my retina screen in a bootcamp Windows 7?

    I was wondering the best setting for using Windows 7 on my Retina screen with the intention of gaming. I was thinking that 1440 x 900 would be the best resolution as 4 retina pixels will map exactly to 1 on screen pixel.  Unfortunatey this does not exist in the settings.
    NVIDA does allow custom resolution but gives a big warning about it destroying your screen - so I thought I would ask before I create one. If I create a custom resolution of 1440x900 and leave all other settings as default, will this be ok for the retina screen?
    Also, am I barking up the wrong tree? Should I set it to a different already support resolution?
    What do other people find the best resolution for gaming?

    As far as I know, you're limited to what is provided; there's no way to customize it.

  • Create a custom full-bleed page for iPhoto '08 with Adobe ID CS3

    I would like to know if anyone have a tip or trick on how to set up a customized full-bleed layout for iPhoto with Adobe InDesign CS3 app.
    What is specific specs to set up in InDesign with top bleed, outside bleed and bottom bleed? 1/8" cut off (or .125 inch cut off)?
    Any tip or trick or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, cheers, Brian

    See Bobby's post in this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1137947&tstart=0. He asked Apple about bleeds, etc. and posted Apple's reply.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Recommendations for Help Desk (issue tracking) program for Mac OS

    Hello all
    Any recommendations for a help desk software to be mainly used for issue tracking/ticket management applications for Mac OS?
    I prefer for the app to run local on the Mac so no web or server software.
    Thank you

    I also use CS5 (Design Suite) on a Mac. When I upgraded to Lion, Illustrator did not crash for me, but it (and Photoshop) was acting squirrelly and some of the features did not work at all. After six weeks, I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Now everything works perfectly.
    The other thing I did was to partition my hard drive so that I can reinstall Lion on the new partition. That way, I can run either operating system and run application programs on the OS that is most appropriate for it. I have no problems moving files between the partitions.
    Not the most attractive solution, but I am very satisfied. Just my two cents...!
    Good luck!

  • How-To create a customized Solaris 10 DVD for Sparc with GRUB

    I am currently using Solaris 10 U6 x86 custom jumpstart from DVD. This boot mechanism has always been Grub. I know that Solaris 10 U8 Sparc boot mechanism has been changed to Grub as well. I have referenced an excellent Blueprint on creating customized jumpstart DVD for x86. I am looking for some documentation or Blueprint which describe the similar process for Sparc. I am hoping the mkisofs command options will be the most significant difference between x86 and Sprarc.
    Is there a document which describes the de-composition of the DVD for Sparc based platforms? And the re-assembly of the custom DVD?
    Thanks very much.

  • Create a custom dock/application icon for .jar files built in eclipse

    I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure out how to apply a custom icon to jar file that I created in eclipse. I am presently using eclipse v3.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have yet to find a way to change the java coffee cup logo in the document icon for my jar files created in eclipse. Is there some way I can call a specific Apple class in Eclipse to change the dock/application icon of my .jar file?
    I found this link that uses a class that seems to be specific to XCode to change the icon of the .jar file.
    What I mean by change the icon of the jar file, I mean change the icon used in the dock, and also the icon used when the "command+tab" switcher pops up. Presently, I have the black console icon with the text "exec" in the upperleft.
    If anyone has any good links on this topic or even better knows the code I need insert into my program I would be highly greatful.

  • How to Create a Custom Title in Motion for FCPx

    I would like to make something like the "torn edge" title in Fcpx with the following animation; it would move up from the horizon at the bottom of the screen, display the appropriate text for its position in the movie timeline and then drop down and disappear, reversing the same motion as it did at the beginning.  No music or sound would be used when the motion happens, but that might be an interesting addition.
    What steps would I do to make this happen.  I'm new to Motion and want to do some fast track learning.
    Would I create the image that I want to animate in photoshop and import it? Or am I way off base?
    Thanks.

    Why go through the trouble? Just use the Torn Edge title and add the animation to it. Start by right-clicking on the Title in the Title browser in FCPX and select Open a Copy in Motion.
    All you need to do is add the animation keyframes to the "components" group (Position > Y). Everything in the title, including the text objects will "follow".
    If you'd like, you could add Build In and Build Out Optional markers giving you the option which animations you want to include. To add "timing" markers, no layers can be selected (so click in the layers list on a space where nothing is listed.) Move the playhead to the frame where the animation ends for the animation in and type M, then type Command-Option-M and from the popup Edit Marker dialog, select Type: Build In Optional. Move the playhead to the frame the animation out starts and do the same except select Type: Build Out Optional.
    When you're finished, Save As if you want to name it something other than Torn Edge copy. You will need to create or select an existing category (but you can ignore the Theme option.)
    It should just take you a few minutes to make the modifications you desire.
    If you would like to "reveal" the text objects instead of having then move up into position, Move the Title Text Here and Subtitle Text Here folders out of the components folder into a New Group (select both objects and drag them over the top group in the layers list and position the mouse over towards the checkbox column -- a new group will be automatically created containing the two text objects). Select the Group object and Command-Shift-M to add an image mask. Into the source well, drop the components folder and turn the components folder back on (adding something as a mask causes it to be turned off automatically.)
    To really sell the effect, option drag the components group above the text group and turn off "Tan bg" and "PaperTorn". (The animations will be copied as well and will match the original group.) You need another copy of the Torn edge to pass over the text...
    You could Save As this variation for yet another separate effect.
