Snow Leopard Server - Managed Dock Settings

Hello Everyone,
In our environment, we are running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.7 with a mix of 10.5 and 10.6 clients. We are managing settings via Open Directory. We have a computer group policy configured to manage our dock policy settings among a few others. Within WGM, our dock policy settings are setup to be managed "once." When the policy was configured, our Mac administrator put together a customized default dock arrangement with the most commonly utilized applications included in our base image allowing our end users to start with a small clean dock arrangement and add applications/folders as desired.
Regrettably, last week I inadvertently made a change within WGM's managed dock settings in our default production policy. The following morning, several end users logged on to find that their dock customizations had been discarded and replaced with the default setup. To minimize the impacted users, I enabled "merge with user's dock" to avoid further loss of dock customizations. Looking forward, as we roll out new hardware with new images to our existing users, I would like to start with the same scaled back dock with the commonly utilized applications included in our base image. The problem with enabling "merge with user's dock" is that the default set of Mac OS X icons is included causing the dock to be cluttered.
Is there anyway to only apply managed dock preferences if there is not a local profile on the machine the user is logging into? Any other thoughts for circumnavigating the mess I created?
Thanks!

Enabling "merge with user's dock" created problems of its own by introducing duplicate icons for some users. In the end, I unchecked it. Unfortunately, all users are going to receive the default dock arrangement and have to re-customize their dock preferences as desired.

Can Someone email me the Default Dock File.

Man, I tried out DockDoctor to mod the dock a bit. I accidentally add a space to the right which can't be removed through the programs default dock reset option.
If there's anyone here running OS X Leopard 10.5.2 with an unmodified dock running at default settings.
Can one of you out there email me the Original file for the dock.
Go to System, Library, Core Services, Left Click the DOCK picture ( choose Show Package Contents ), Contents, Resources. I want everything in that resources folder. Please copy and paste all that info into a new file to the desktop if you would email it to me.

Quit all applications.
In Finder click on Go>Home.
Double click on the Library>Preferences.
Locate com.apple.dock.plist and pull it to the desktop.
Close the window.
Click on the apple in the upper left and choose to log out at the bottom.
Log back in from the login window.
Your dock will be restored to original default.
Click on Go>Applications and pull any desired application icons to the dock.

Problems after upgrade with dock settings?

Hi all,
I upgraded my 10.4 server to 10.5.2 server today. All appeared to go fine except for 1 stupid thing. On my mac mini clients also running 10.5.2 OSX the dock settings don't work. All I get is the finder icon and the trash icon. However on my iMac I get my normal dock settings? This is all very wierd. I tried re-attaching the minis to the server but still the same problem?
Also when I login to WGM I have to log in as 'root' user? diradmin does not work? Is there a default username that I have forgotten?
Cheers
folks
Chris

Yes, most annoying... it works perfectly on Firefox 2.x. A not so-desirable solution is to go back to Google's Gmail "older interface"... see this control in the top menu after "settings." In this mode, the selection of email addresses when composing is working.
Better still, Apple should fix this brokenness in Safari 3.x, likely an ajax problem!

Any way to override default printer settings into a PDF

Hi -- I work for a large organization that has lots of computers and printers and prints a lot of forms and documents. We are moving towards more digitization of documents and records including printing forms as needed as opposed to having large sets of forms onhand. This should save us a lot of time and money once complete as these forms often change and the old process would be to then trash much of these documents and re-print for just one change. The majority of our printers do have letter & legal trays as well as duplex support, however due to the vast number of users the default printer settings tied to each user and/or computer may be slightly different. While standardizing all the printer settings across all users/computers would be one solution, we don't anticipate doing this as depending on the job peformed the different settings may be more preferable / advantageous for that user.
As such the other solution I can think of is to hardcode the specific printer settings needed to correctly print a large document into that PDF file which may differ from that computer's print settings. For example, the default computer print settings may be to print on just 1 side but duplex would be encoded / scripted directly into the PDF so IRREGARDLESS of the computer/printer settings this document would always print duplexed.
Is there anyway to do this? I would need to do more than just duplexing -- ie some form sets would need to be both duplexed and 'fit to printable area' whereas some would need to be only on one page and 'shrunk to printable area', etc, etc. Our current practice is to insert a 1 page coversheet at the front of each document with the printer settings that need to be used for that form set, however this has been difficult for some users to do and has caused unnecessary time with our IT troubleshooting form printing.

Hi Brandon,
You can use the Print Presets in Acrobat for that purpose. Please follow the steps below:
1. Open the PDF in Acrobat
2. Open Document Properties dialog (using Ctrl + D)
3. Select the "Advanced" tab
4. In the "Print dialog Presets" section, you can choose DuplexMode as well as Page Scaling for this document.
Please let us know if this works for you
Thanks,

How can I create a default dock for all users (Mavericks)?

I would like to modify the dock to display specific installed applications.
I then want this dock to be the default dock for any users that log in.
OS is Mavericks.
All users are AD users.
No server management.
We use Deep Freeze to revert the Mac to the way we set it up.
I can find info for previous versions of OSX; basically just copying the plist, but I can't find anything that works for Mavericks.
Any help would be appreciated!

You could set up a user template for new user accounts, but you can’t stop individual users from modifying their Dock to suit their needs.
I don’t know how to modify the user template, so you’ll have to google for it.

Default printer settings for HP Deskjet 882c

All I want to do is set this printer to print in black and white by default. If I wanted color, I would use my other printer ... I want faster than a snails pace so I brought this one back out.
Being a PC for my entire life, this should be an easy thing to set the default print settings on the printer. I don't see them!
What I am printing is emails off hotmail ... tons of them ... going back months ... so please don't ask me to add an additional step here ...
Pulling my hair out here ... help would be lovely!

You are on the right track for sure. The claim code is in fact printed in blue, so if your color inks are low or empty it will not show up.
I noticed there are 2 version of the 6500A, I will go under the assumption that you do not have the 'Plus' version since you didn't specify this, shouldn't be a big discrepancy either way (let me know if I am wrong).
Viewing your ink levels is covered here, your Cyan ink cartridge could be empty : http://goo.gl/RjIhbp
You can still find the claim code on the front panel of your printer without color ink. Go back to web services on your printers display and it will show your "*@hpeprint.com" email address. The prefix before the "@" is in fact your code.
Also note that your code has most likely expired, which happens after 24 hours of being generated. Not a big deal. If your code has expired you will have to reset the web services in your printer, this will generate a new printer code. You can do this easily from the front panel of your printer.
Follow this link and expand the section “What if I lose my printer code before registering?” under “Frequently asked questions (FAQs)”
http://goo.gl/0WUyIe
(*a note on step 4, some firmware updates may have simplified this entire step to be simply “remove web services”)
After enabling the web services again the printer code area will still be blank if you are out of cyan ink.
Regardless the new code will display on the front panel (under web services).
I hope this gets you going with ePrint. Let me know if you are having issues printing in color beyond this, or if you are still experiencing difficulties with ePrint.

Changing Lion PDF default security settings

After I create a document in Word or Pages, I save them as a pdf. I then want to digitally sign them in Adobe Reader. But the default security settting when saving as a pdf does not allow adding a digital signature. Anyway to change the default OSX settings so that digital signatures are allowed by default?
Preview just ignores digital signatures so I have not found any work arounds there.
...Bruce...

I'm OK with how to remove the security settings from a document: Documents > Properties (security tab; "No Security").
What I'm looking for is the path to removing the security settings such that they are NOT applied when I convert a document to PDF. What is happening now is that when I convert a MS Word doc to PDF, the security settings are applied by default, which means I have to go the process, albeit a short one, of removing the security settings from the document - as referenced above.
So again, if I simply launch Acorbat Pro 9 (without opening of a document), what is the correct path to removing (permenently) the security settings so that they are no longer applied to a converted document by default?
Thanks in advance.

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.

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.
Our Setup:
Printers are hosted on Server 2008 R2 Print Server.
Two local printers are created on the print server for each Xerox MFP that we have.   Example: Xerox MFP (B&W) - Default settings are set to print black and white only.    Xerox MFP
(Color) - Default settings are set to print color.     So for every MFP we have two printers are created.
Both variations of the network printers are deployed to the users with the Black and White version being the default.    If a user needs to print something in color, they select the Color version of the MFP printer.   This
helps us save on color toner costs.
This works great for web applications, Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, and other applications.   But, it doesn't seem to work in Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010.   Whatever the default printer is of the two versions that are deployed,
excel seems to hold onto those printer settings.
Example: If your default printer is Xerox MFP (B&W), when you select Xerox MFP (Color), it still retains the Black and White selection in the printer properties. However, if you select a completely different model printer such
as Fax, and then go to  Xerox MFP (Color), it will pick up the necessary default color settings.
If I install the printers locally on the user's PC/Computer, it works perfectly.   However, it doesn't work when they are utilizing the print server's printers.
Things that I have tried:
Different drivers for Xerox. Global, PS, PCL.
Different brands of printers.   Still experience the same issue.
Different port names.
Different protocols, raw versus LPR.
Different versions of excel, 2007 and 2010.
Looked through group policy to see if I could force it.
Checked the excel sheet settings, black and white only was not selected.
Tried most of the printer properties settings.
Created a Server 2012 print server and experienced the same result.
Xerox's custom configuration file editor.
*Something to note, if I have the black and white version utilize PostScript Drivers and the color version utilize PCL driver, it correctly loads the color settings.   However, if you utilize Postscript for both versions, it doesn't.
I have to vary the print drivers. Ideally, I don't want to have to do this because I want consistency between prints.

Hi,
Make sure you have the latest printer drivers - go to the manufacture's website, download and install if necessary.

Change the default margin settings for the MS word!

Hi All,
BI Publisher version:latest 10.1.3.4
DB:10.2.0.4
Oracle Apps:12.0.6
OS:AIX
We are facing an issue of which description is as below:
RTF output is being uploaded through "XML Publisher" Responsibility.
3.1.9 Header and Footer Margin from Edge Not Preserved in RTF Output
This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, 10.1.3.3.3, 10.1.3.4, and 10.1.3.4.1.
Microsoft Word provides a Page Setup option for specifying the margin for the headers and footers from the edge of the page. This option is available by choosing the File menu, then Page Setup, then the Margins tab, and the From edge box. This margin setting is not retained when the output format is RTF. The output is created with the default margin settings instead. The margin settings do work correctly for other output formats such as HTML, PDF, and Excel.
So, the "default setting" mentioned here is around 1/2 inch for MS Word which is getting added in the output, even if the margin in template is zero.
Expected output:
So what we need to do is -
1. Check the MS word installation on the application server
2. Change this default margin setting as top and bottom 0 on the server in the MS word page setup. (I can give you steps to do this in word if required)
We have tried setting this margin to 0 on client side and generating the output and it makes no difference, so it must be coming from the server.
We need to know how could we modify the settings and need to know te source and Check the MS word installation on the application server?
Could anyone please share such an issue faced before!
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

Hi All,
Moreover,
Our understanding about the RTF output is this -
When we generate an RTF report output from Oracle EBS, the word document that is generated is with the settings of MS word that is installed on application server.
This understanding could be wrong as we have never faced such situation before! We have come to this conclusion because the default settings that we do on client machine do not work.
And as per the documentation of BI publisher the RTF should always be generated with the default settings of MS word.
So what you could help us with is this -
1. See if the MS word application is installed on application server ( if you think this is not application server, but any other server then please check there!)
2. Change the default margin settings for the MS word.
Regards,

Xfce's default app settings keep getting changed.

My xfce default app settings are constantly being changed to KDE apps.

Raccoon1400 wrote:How can I change settings so kde cant get to it but xfce can?
Well ... that you can't do I guess. The dirty solution I proposed effectively blocks anything/anyone from changing it easily.
Like I said look in the KDE configuration panel for anything related with default apps and if it is possible to leave them alone. Not much more I can say, I use xfce only.
Another option is to backup that file (if indeed that is that file that controls the default apps) and when you start xfce you copy the backup over that file, when you logout from xfce make a backup. This way kde can mess it all it likes and you will still have your default xfce apps and an easy way to change it in xfce.

Will migration assistant change the default display settings on my new Mac?

I just set up a new iMac and used Migration Assistant to load from my Time Machine. But now the display looks muted and not as bright. Would Migration Assistant change the default display settings on my new Mac?

Migration Assistant may not be the cause. But you should reset the NVRAM and see it that fixes the issue.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
Release the keys.

Reset hp envy 4500 printer to default factory settings

The printer indicates that the cartridges are not suitable for this printer. That is strange, because both cartridges are original HP cartridges. I'm looking for a way to reset the printer to the default factory settings, but I can't find a way to do this neither in the manual nor on the printer itself. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you very much.

did you find a way to resolve this? i am having the same error message and when i called for support, they said i just needed to buy a new printer. Because of this error message blocking the entire screen, I cannot reset anything or access the main menu. It seems like it's an issue that needs to be fixed manually by taking the printer apart simply because there is not an emergency trick mentioned by staff or by manual that I have found. Any help besides replacing the idiot box all together?
