Customer Wants All Outlook Profiles on All Computers - How?
The CEO of our customer wants all Outlook profiles on all computers, so any person could go to any computer in any remote office, and login to Windows, open their Outlook profile, and retrieve/send email from Outlook.
Here is our topology:
A) Most computers are in remote offices.
B) Exchange server is co-located, and there is a domain controller also co-located.
C) Windows is set to login locally, not through a domain controller.
D) We have a Windows server with access from remote office through a VPN for file retrieval. I am concerned that setting up a domain controller there might conflict with the Exchange Server's domain controller. As far as I know, Windows
does not like two domain controllers.
E) Using the co-located domain controller is probably not an option.
F) I have also seen posts on here that Outlook profiles don't roam without user interaction either.
G) Each Outlook profile has multiple emails accounts, so doing this manually is not practical.
I have been told "There must be a way". I don't think the CEO is going to accept, "No". Any other ideas?

Hi,
Roaming Profile may be a choice but as you know, it may cause some unexpected issues:

Roaming Profiles and Multiple Users
Autodiscover is a suitable choice, you may learn from Don's suggestion & Thanks Don.
By the way, here's a method to skip Autodiscover by pushing .prf files combined with script:

I don't want any color profile at all!
Hi,
When I start my MacBook Pro up, the color looks great on the built in screen and on my secondary monitor but, within a few seconds, the color profile for my secondary monitor loads and it becomes way over saturated. No amount of adjustment of the monitor or calibration through System Preferences can get me back to fleeting glimpse of perfection I experience in those first few seconds.
I've tried loading all the different profiles available when "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked to no avail.
So my question is: How can I stop the color profile from loading? or: How should I go about getting hold of the color profile that's in operation for those first few seconds?
Thank you.Look in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference and make sure the "Enhance contrast" slider is all the way to the left (Normal).

How to find all generated profiles (with more than one nomenclature)
Hello all,
I have an Solution Manager 4.0 system and I want to find out:
a. all sap profiles created via SU02 (not generated profiles)
b. all generated profiles
b. all generated profiles with user assignment
Initially I extracted values from tables UST10C and UST10S for single and comp. profile information. For profile assignment, I searched UST04. But then I realized that generated profiles don't follow a standard nomenclature. Some start with T-54, some with T-56, then T-AA, T-MW [now there some T_MW profiles created via SU02 ]
Can anyone help me here please?
Thanks and regards,
Sundar.Hi Sundar,
please check table USR10.
The interesting field for you is USR10-Typ.
Field value meanings:
C Composite Profile
G Generated Profile
S Single profile

After a hard reset all user profiles are now accessible by every user
I initially had our office time capsule set up with 3 seperate user accounts ("profiles") via these instructions. Thus each user had a login for the time capsule that would then show them a shared folder that all users could see, and then a personal folder that only those logged into that account could see and access.
While I was out of the office a co-worker was having trouble connecting his new iMac to the time capsule, so he called apple for assistance and they had him do a hard reset. The hard reset saved all the profiles and all information in each folder, but now everyone can access every folder. I'm not completely sure of what steps they took to set it up after the hard reset, but now, no matter which account you are logged in as you see:
-"Shared"
-(Shared folder)
-"Users"
-(user 1)
-(user 2)
-(user 3)
So you have complete access to each users folders. Does anyone know if there is any easier way to set the user profiles back up the way they were originally set up by myself, or do I basically have to re-do the whole process (which includes saving and transfering all folders--which is a long process)?The security of the TC is designed for home networking.. because anyone who has physical access to the TC can easily access anything.. it is simply convenient perhaps to have user profiles.. but a quick 1 sec soft reset and anybody can gain access to anything.

We recently migrated from Office 2010 to Office 2013. An annoying change is Outlook's "Use Cached Exchange Mode" setting that changes the previous setting of all email to partial email based on how old emails are. This is confusing
for end users because if they have a 1GB mailbox size limit and they look at the properties of their mailbox, it shows the cached amount which is always then less than the full amount. While they have a 1GB limit, the properties of their mailbox
might say 700MB because that's all that is cached, but meanwhile they can't send because they are actually over 1GB on the server side.
I want to set this cache setting to "All" for EXISTING profiles and new profiles. I think I can do it with GPO for new profiles, but I don't see a way to set it for existing profiles. I assume I have to do this with a registry setting.Hi,
The cached mode Sync Slider setting is maintained in the Outlook profile settings in the Windows registry. If you want to administer this setting via group policy, you can use the group policy templates, which are available from the Microsoft Web site. The
group policy template files are Outlk15.admx and Outlk15.adml. If you use group policy to manage this setting, the following registry data is utilized by Outlook.
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Cached Mode
DWORD: SyncWindowSetting
Value: integer value (Decimal) specifying the number of months (use only the following values)
0 = All (entire mailbox)
1 = One month of mailbox items
3 = three months of email items
6 = six months of email items
12 = twelve months of email items
24 = twenty-four months of email items

i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?
This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge! -
I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?
A couple of methods.
The first is to copy 2 files, key3,db and signons.sqlite from the profile folder of the old computer t the profile folder of the new computer. For details of how to find the profile folder see the [[profiles]] article.
The second method is to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/ Password Exporter] add-on on both computers and use that to export/import the passwords. -
Outlook not Displaying all Sharepoint 2007 Shared Calendar entries
Hello all, we have an issue that I've been working on for a while with no success.
One Sharepoint List (Calendar) with approval workflow, connected to Outlook. Two users with the same privileges to the list. Both users see all "approved" items when viewing the list via IE. One user can see ALL (approved and pending) items via
Outlook, the other only seems to be able to view SOME approved items (not all approved items) via Outlook.
So, my questions:
1. Any idea why outlook is displaying ALL items to User 1, when the list view in IE only shows approved items?
2. Why can User 2 only view some of the approved items via outlook? Rather than all items like user 1? (At the very least you'd expect User 2 to at least see all approved items.
Anyone seen this before? I give up...I have seen a lot of weirdness with MOSS 2007 calendars syncing to Outlook, but as far as fixes, its normally not too bad. for this particular issue, you might just want to remove the calendars from their outlook and re-add them.
However, normally the most common issue is that outlook will allow users to create calendar entries that are invalid in SP. i.e. the SP calendar has a required field, but Outlook does not allow users to edit that field as its custom (or outlook lets
you keep the title empty which also causes weirdness in syncs).
I would look and see what columns are required on the list, then export the list to excel and look for any items which have empty required fields. Either, update those items, or delete them from the calendar, then resync to Outlook and it should be
good.
There may be something different, but this is the most common thing I see on these issues, let me know if it helps or not.

Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....
there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers. you can then install and activate on up to two computers. -
when i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?
Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes. -

I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc. I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine. The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore. Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad?
But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

How can I update all user profile entries at once?
I test web applications with Firefox and use the -P (user) -no-remote options on the command line to keep the sessions independent. In other words, I have created many dozens of desktop shortcuts with specific users and within each instance of Firefox for each user, the default home page is set. This all works fine...I click on as many shortcuts as I want, they all open up different sites I'm testing, and they're all independent of each other.
The problem is when Firefox updates itself. It's annoying to have to answer the update question, and to be routed to the update page 50 times (the first time I use that shortcut after the update). This is also true for plug-ins.
So is there any way for me to prevent having the update messages appear in each separate user's first run after update?You posted here with Firefox 9.0.1, is that the version you are using on that test PC? <br />If so, update to Firefox 10.0.1 and see the new ''(as of 10.0)'' first start after a program update routine. Mozilla changed the add-on compatibility check that kicks in when the Firefox version number has changed. It's probably going to make your issue worse, time wise, after a Firefox program update.
As far as updating all the Profiles at the same time, '''LastVersion''' data is kept in the '''compatibility.ini''' file in each Profile - ''LastVersion=10.0.1_20120208060813/20120208060813'' - Firefox checks that file each time the Profile is used. When the version number currently being launched doesn't match the saved pref, it triggers the "updated" routine (but it works for the version used being older or newer than the pref).
The only thing I can think of is to run a '''batch''' file to update the '''LastVersion''' value change in all the Profiles that weren't used for receiving the Firefox update, to match the new LastVersion. -

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.
There are many online tutorials on how to change out the HD on a mid 2007 iMac. One of the originals is from 2007 and is Upgrade your iMac 20" or iMac 24" aluminum (mid 2007) to 1TB Hard Drive and 4 GB RAM - DIY Guide. As far as migrating your system Apple helps out with that in Setup Assistant which automatically starts when you turn on a new Mac for the first time. After you have installed the new HD you will have to format the new HD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then you will have to install OS X. The first time you turn it on Setup Assistant will start. Follow the directions and you will be fine. In order to restore your information you will need to backup what is on the current internal HD first. I'd recommend using Time Machine (Assuming you are using Leopard or later) AND also creating a bootable clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Please complete your profile so at the very least we know what version of OS X your machine has installed.
