Create different network share shortcut in desktop for different security groups using GPO

Hi,
I have an OU named TECH that contains two different security groups ENG and PRESS.
When users in ENG group logs in desktop should show a network share \\server1\eng-share and
when users in PRESS group logs in desktop should show a network share \\server1\press-share.
How to create a GPO for this ?
regards, Faisal

You could use group policy preferences shortcuts. You would create a shortcut to each of these shares and then use Item Level Targeting. The target would point to the security group needed.

Security Group Creation in Specific OU and Create Network Share For the Security Group

Hi,
We would really want to create a PowerShell script that creates a specific Security Group within a selected Organisation Unit.
Brief Scenario;
We have created several Organisation Units. Each Organisation Unit contains another Organisation Unit called users.
+OU=Netherlands
++OU=Company A
+++OU=users
++OU=Company B
+++OU=users
And so forth.
If we run the PowerShell script it should create a list of all the Companies in container Netherlands. After the list is created it creates an output like 1. Company A; 2. Company B. (Forearch ..)
The script asks for user input where to create the Security Group. If user selects option 2, a security group Called "Company B" is being created. All the users located in the Organisation Unit users within Company B are joined to that group. (Sets
option 2 as a value like Security Group = "$Company B", create Security Group "Universal, Global (option), and get all users from container users and join them)
Then without user interaction a share is being created. Granting Domain Administrators full access and the Security Group which has just been created.
Is somebody able to help me with this kind of script?
Thank you in advance,
With kind regards,
Danny Locorotondo

Already gathered some information. Have this as a result. Now I need to figure out how to put the results into a list, so the user can select the group. As far as now I am stuck.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Function SelectCollectionRelease
[CmdletBinding()]
Param
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,
Position=0,
HelpMessage='Enter the Release of the Collection. By example: Alfa,Beta or Charlie')]
$CollectionRelease
IF(!$CollectionRelease)
write-host "`n You did not select a proper Collection Release" -foregroundcolor "red"
SelectCollectionRelease
Elseif($CollectionRelease)
[string] $OUPath = "OU=$CollectionRelease,OU=VDI,OU=carsystems,DC=carsysdev,DC=local"
if (!([adsi]::Exists("LDAP://$OUPath")))
write-host "`n Collection Release does not exists" -foregroundcolor "red"
SelectCollectionRelease
else
write-host "`n Collection Release exists." -foregroundcolor "green"
write-host "`n Selected $OUPath ..." -foregroundcolor "yellow"

Is it possible to prevent the OS from dropping and deleting a network share shortcut?

One thing that has always bugged me about Mac OS is that when a network share becomes unresponsive or unavailable the shortcut on the desktop disappears and you get a glaring messaging that the share has been disconnected.
Is there any way to prevent a network share from being removed just because it becomes momentarily unavailable?
As an example, on a Windows machine the network share shortcut remains, you simply cannot use it but it is there and ready to go the moment the share comes back online. Is there some way to make OS X behave in this manner? Or is there a way to extend the time out interval for a network share?
Thanks.

Drag the icon into the sidebar of a Finder window under FAVORITES.

Creating a Network Straight from the Desktop (No Router)

I have created a network straight from the desktop without a router with no protection/security key. It's on channel 11 (automatic). My internet on the desktop is working and when I connect to the network wirelessly with a PC, it connects & obtains the IP address without any issues. When I open my browser on the laptop, page cannot be displayed. I'm using Windows XP on a brand new laptop. Why can't this be simple?

I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs

I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs. About these many IDs i am unaware.

You only can update those Apps, if you know the Passwords from the AppleIDs, which were used for purchase.
If you´re unable to enter these Passwords you can´t update them.
You can delete those Apps from your device and purchase & download them again with your own known AppleID.
There is no other Way to get them updated. Because you are not the owner of those Apps.

Can an airport extreme base station attached to another airport extreme base station as an extender transmit a different network name and have it's own security?

Can an airport extreme base station attached to another airport extreme base station set up as an extender transmit a different network name and have it's own security?

No. The AirPort cannot extend another AirPort's wireless network and simultaneously broadcast its own wireless network.
It can however, be connected to another router (including another AirPort) by Ethernet, and then, be configured to broadcast a wireless network with another Network Name and Security Type.

Shortcut on desktop for network folder

I have a network of 2 machines (one Mac one vista).. i need to put a shortcut on my MAC desktop to one of the (networked) Vista folders.. how do i do this?.. I have tried just dragging the folder onto my (mac) desktop but that doesn't do it-- any help would be appreciated! thanks

Instead of just dragging, press the Option and Command keys before dragging the icon for the network disk onto the desktop. The icon being dragged should now have a curly arrow, which indicates it is an alias. Drop it on the desktop to create the alias.
You can also right (Control) click on the network disk while it is already mounted on the desktop, then select +Make Alias+ from the contextual menu.

Network share shortcut vanished windows 8.1 after microsoft updates

After updating a windows 8.1 desktop, the user complained that all of their "shortcuts" - which upon investigation are user created shortcuts to network share locations - are gone. We searched for the shortcuts to see if the user somehow
deleted or moved them, but they do not seem to be anywhere.
After reading several posts on disappearing shortcuts, the most likely suspect seems to be the automatic maintenance that windows performs, which includes removing unused or broken links. As these links were not broken or unused, I would like to find
out how the maintenance system identifies shortcuts that should be removed. Also, is there a report that shows what was removed? And is this report in a location that can be accessed remotely (\\computername\c$\users\username\... or something
like this or through the event viewer connected to the remote computer).
I do not want to disable the automatic maintenance, but I also don't want this to occur to other users, or repeat with this one.
Please advise.
Fred Zilz

Hi Fred Zilz,
Here is an article talking about the shortcut missing when using System Maintenance troubleshooter:
See this KB(Applies to Windows 7):Desktop shortcuts disappear in Windows 7
For automatic maintenance in Windows 8, please see:
Automatic Maintenance.
If we are sure the shortcuts are removed by automatic maintenance, we may take use of File history to restore the shortcuts back.

Add network share on client desktop

Upon a group of SL clients logging into our SL server, I want them to see a network share, similar to how a group folder shows up on the desktop as a "connected server drive".
I can not figure out how to do this. I can get the group folder to mount automatically, but not a different afp share.

I should add that I tried the things mentioned at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2089664?start=0&tstart=0
and have searched for any information on getting a folder to show up on the desktop of a client.
No luck yet... can you please offer a suggestion?
Thank you

Network shares disappear from desktop

Hi,
I have searched but cannot find a thread which outlines the problem I am having.
I have a 40 strong iMac network with 2 Mac Mini servers. All iMacs are running Mountain Lion (10.8.2) with the Mac Mini's running Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and Server (2.1.1). I have a number of network shares defined which are hosted on a Pegasus array connected via a thunderbolt cable to one of the Mac Mini's. The shares mount as part of the login profile for each user.
The problem I am having is that the desktop icons for the shares randomly disapear from the desktop. This typically happens to 2, 3, or 4 of the shares but never all of them at once. When I go into the Connect to Server option in Finder and connect to the server hosting the shares they appear as available for connection (i.e. they are not greyed out as if an existing connection exists with the share).
As a general rule, the end users leave their machines on overnight and don't usually shut them down.
Can anyone shed any light as to why these shares seem to be randomly disconnecting / ejecting?
Cheers,
Tzukius.

Kevin,
All shares are done via AFP. When I look at the stats on the CPU on the server app it is hovering around 3-5% for a 4hr average.
One thing I have noticed is that on my machine I never lose the connections, co-incedentaly, my machine never enters sleep mode whereas the other machines are set to sleep after 30mins. I'm starting to think that this may be the cause of my problem, even though the ethernet interface is used for connecting the machines to the network and not the wireless connection (I had read on a couple of other threads that this can cause the disconnection of network shares).

Applying different template to the same item for different organizations

Hi I'm having an issue with an item load.
We are trying to load a list of items using the item import.
3 orgs
1: mas
2: first
3: second
say in the new list that we are importing there is an item "100A" (mtl_system_items_b.segment1)
This item already exists in the mtl_system_items_b as a master item (ie assigned to the master org) it has template "STOCK ITEM"
and is also attached to the first org
I want to create the same item as a nonstock for the Second org
Can this be done?
When i tried to do the import it failed giving me a INV_IOI_MASTER_CHILD_1A error (Master - Child Conflict in one of these Attributes: Default Buyer(BUYER_ID), Accounting Rule(ACCOUNTING_RULE_ID), Invoicing Rule(INVOICING_RULE_ID), Purchased(PURCHASING_ITEM_FLAG), Shippable(SHIPPABLE_ITEM_FLAG), Customer Ordered(CUSTOMER_ORDER_FLAG), Internal Ordered(INTERNAL_ORDER_FLAG), Inventory Item(INVENTORY_ITEM_FLAG))
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks
D

Hi Sandeep
Thanks a lot for the reply
In our MASter org setup, the Template "T1" is a STOCK_ITEM template and it has the stockable attribute set at the org level.
This item is also assigned to ORG1 as a T1 STOCK_ITEM.
So can we create the same item using "T2 which is a NON_STOCK Template in org2 ?
If yes then that means I just have to create a record in the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE only for the child org2.My concern is I read somewhere that
the item import tries to match the attributes of the child org to the master org attribute(for attributes controlled at master org i think).
And since the attributes for a nonstock are different than those for a STOCK wouldn't that create a problem?
Thanks
D

SCCM 2007 database query for AD security group for machines

dear,
I am had created security DL in AD for machine to deploy software and trying to link in SCCM 2007 with collection but could not
i have tried query base following below link but its does not help
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/892-deploy-software-through-ad-groups-linked-to-collections-in-sccm/
type all query but could not find in table (SystemGroupName).
[email protected]

Go to properties of you collection and add a new membership rule to add the security group
SCCM use discovery methods to get information from AD. Make sure AD system discovery and AD security group discovery are enabled for the SCCM site. Once you add machines to the security group, you need to wait till the next discovery cycle is completed.
The discovery cycle runs on a schedule set by SCCM administrator.

I like to manually create lists when I take notes, so is there a way to create a shortcut/hot key for different symbols in the Pages inspector?

Not really a Pages user, but I am trying to make the switch from Word if I can figure out a few ways to customize Pages. I don't want to create a new paragraph style because I rearrange my lists a lot. I think there is a way to automatically create a custom list style, but I like to make lists manually because I frequently change things around. I would like to be able to manually add symbols. I know that Option + 8 will give me a bullet, but I would also like to use different symbols I found in inspector, like a black square and a black triangle. Anyone know if this is possible?

If what you're looking for is a more flexible way of quickly just including any symbol of your preference when you're taking notes (without establishing a more structured list like picas suggestion) there are a number of ways to use keyboard shortcuts to get a variety of symbols. Here is a link that you can use to hopefully find what you're looking for:

You can also try http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343 to find other keyboard shortcuts.

Creating a PDF that is customizable/interactive for different companies and representatives

I am rather new to Adobe, however I am able to use most of the software (illustrator, indesign, Photoshop, LiveCycle) just fine.
My issue is I am not sure which program/technique I should use for an interactive PDF I need to create.
I am trying to create a PDF document that will be around 50 pages. This document I will distribute to representatives in my company who work for many different financial institutions. I somehow want to create this PDF for them to be able to customize by inserting their financial institution's logo and date to the footer and insert their name to title page (and any other applicable pages).
If possible, I was hoping there was a way to include a page where our representatives could select from a checklist which of the 50 pages of the PDF they wanted to include in their document. The representatives also are not that tech savvy and think just telling them to delete the pages from the PDF could cause potential problems. Also a checklist would be simple and look much more professional.
The representatives would not have access to any Adobe design software, so the final document would have to be some sort of interactive/customizable PDF through Acrobat.
I am kind of lost as to how I can create this PDF and so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! It's also possible I may be in the wrong program forum. So apologize if I am.
Thanks!

This can be done using Adobe Acrobat yes.
You need to decide how many uses this item will get. The reason is you have to specially enable the forms so that the users can use Reader to save the changes afterwards. These enabled files have use restrictions. You can send them to 500 people and they can use them as many times as they want or you can send them to as many people as you want but can only collect the item back 500 times.
