Default Profile - Customisation

HI all
looking for some more advice around SCCM deployment, we are currently using MDT to deploy Citrix farm servers, as part of the deployment process we run some scripts which edit the default user
profile during the deployment, which works fine as they run as the local administrator and there for when we use the unattend.xml copy profile function applies to the deployment.
However this is not working as SCCM deployment as the scripts are trying to run as the system account (which I know is correct for system centre)
Any suggestions on how to get around this? is there a way of running as local administrator, I know you can do this for the command line but I would like to be able to deploy my scripts as a
package.
All advice much appreciated.
Chris

If you really need to run with local Administrator, you need to utilize a tool named PsExec.exe in System Internals. This tool can make the script run under local administrator.

How to alter the default profile for multiple users

I am trying to alter the default profile assigned to users during user creation to a new profile. I know to change the profile for one user using the syntax
alter user abc profile profileabc
The issue I have is that there are 100's of users under default profile and changing for each of them manually would be difficult. The approach that I see is to write a shell script where I connect to the db and get a list of all the users with default profile. Then I loop through the file making connection to the db each time and executing the alter statement.
Please help if you think that there can be a more efficient approach to this.
Thanks

How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
What to do?
Thanks...

No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
There are the standard first start behavior.
There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
Thanks.

Server 2012 R2 VDI with profile disks not using domain default profile

I'm testing a VDI environment running on Windows Server 2012 R2. The VMs in the pool are running Windows 7.
I've enabled profile disks for my test pool. I also have a domain default profile (stored under netlogon) that is used when creating profiles for new users.
I've found that when a new user logs into the VDI pool, the domain default user profile is not being used to create the new profile. Can this be changed?

Hi,
I also have a domain default profile (stored under netlogon) that is used when creating profiles for new users.
Place default profile under netlogon share doesn’t enable users to use it as their default user profiles, which only shares the profile contents to users who have access permissions.
If you want to customize default user profile, please refer to this article below:

How do I create a default profile for all users of a computer in Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions above 8? I'd like all new users on a computer to get the same defaults, bookmarks, homepage, etc...

I have found help for this on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions above 8. There must be someway to accomplish this for imaging on a large scale.

You can create a defaults\profile template folder in the Firefox program folder for new profiles the same way as in older versions. That folder only isn't there anymore because all files have been moved to the omni.ja(r) archive, so you need to create it yourself.

How to create a default profile for all users in Firefox 9.

I run a computer lab, and am looking for a way to create a default profile in Firefox 9 that new users can use. I want them to be able to launch Firefox for the first time, and see my homepage. I want to disable any check for default browsers, firstrun pages, or any other prompts.
The old .adm files for group policy don't seen to be working any longer.

See http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/howtodeploy.htm
You can create a defaults\profile folder in the Firefox program folder and place files in it to be used to create and initialize a new profile.

The EventSystem sub system is suppressing duplicate event log entries for a duration of 86400 seconds. The suppression timeout can be controlled by a REG_DWORD value named SuppressDuplicateDuration under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\EventLog.

hi do the following
1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
2. If prompted click yes,
3. expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
something similair)
5. right click the sid and press delete.
6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

The control panel will NOT let me activate either CONTACTS or Calendar as it just says I do not have a default profile setup, which I do have. I have checked it over and over again but it still refuses to let me use these features. I am using Office 2010

How do we change the default profile folder location?

I work for a university in Manhattan. We are trying to install Firefox 5 for our users but Firefox profiles are stored in the AppData folder which is a problem for us as it exceeds the user profile space.
We need a way to have Firefox create the profile elsewhere. Is anyone aware of how to do this?

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to offer a solution to our problem. Unfortunately, the Firefox profile information set under the administrative account does not transfer to the user accounts. Even though we created a Firefox profile set to open to a different location, when a user logs in the default profile, located in AppData, is created for them and they do not have access to the new one.
Are you aware of any way to set the profile of each user to automatically be created elsewhere? Thank you.

How to change the theme in the default profile so new users get a different theme

How can I change the theme (background picture, etc) for the default profile, so that when new users log in and get a new profile created, they get a different theme than the one they currently receive?

Hi,
If you want to get a different theme for new users, based on my understanding, it’s not easy, we can load the specific theme for all user because we can control OS to load this specific theme file.
The default location of theme file is:
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
To configure OS load different theme for different user, I think this cannot be controlled by a registry key. It’s complicated to make OS choose different theme pack for different user, even more, the theme pack files are limited.
Here is some different but similar discussion about changing theme programmatically:

How does the Default profile works?

we are using MSCS cluster.
On last week, I found SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST are pointed to wrong server in default.pfl in
<CLUSTER>\SAPMNT\PRD\SYS\profile. I changed both parameter to currently server name and restart service. Therefore, we lost zcsa/installed_languages parameter in PRD_DVEBMGS01_<CI_SERVER> file. I have to add this parameter again in RZ10.
My question is:
Why SAP can start up correctly when the SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST were wrong ? I don't think anybody changed this parameter without notice.
Where is the old zcsa/installed_languages parameter stored? I searched all servers, I couldn't find this parameter.
Thank you

Check SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST parameters in Instance profile. If the values in the instance profile is correct it will override the default profile values. Also check the environmental variables like DB_HOST etc.
When you change the value of zcsa/installed_languages didn't save it as a new version?If you save as a new version then go to profile directory and check DEFAULT.PFL.<n>

[waterfox] Using default profile. No reset button in Troubleshooting info page.

SIDE QUESTION:
Would having a thousand bookmarks affect firefox performance?
Would an addon prevent the reset button from appearing? (tried disabling(the blocking, not the addon) the most likely culprit, adblock edge, nothing) safe mode seems to "disable" the troubleshooting page for some reason so couldn't really use that to test it.
I would have posted these at the bottom but i noticed secondary questions tend to get ignored. or at least the way i say them gets them ignored, so here they are.
As the title says.
I'm using only one profile and it's the default(not just its name, it's also set as default according to the profile.ini ).
according to
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Troubleshooting_Information_page#Reset_Firefox_to_its_default_state
The only factor the would prevent it from appearing is if I'm not using the default profile, which Is what I am currently using, and it's the only profile I have.
So... what could be preventing it from appearing?

o_o
that... doesn't actually answer the question... but you have a point. I guess that'll do as a solution. I'll mark this as resolved as soon as I try it out. Thanks.
though i'd like to report this missing button thing to the waterfox guys, i'm kinda reluctant to sign up to a forum(overclock.net as their website says) i'd use like, once-- and never look back into again, which is why I asked here. I don't remember where, but I heard Waterfox is the "de facto" 64 bit firefox.
unless i'm misunderstanding it as "official" and Nightly instead, is the "official" build with here as it's main support area?
EDIT: OK. it worked. also, the button STILL doesn't appear. not that i'm pushing that issue at this point.
So one final question before closing this: would lots of bookmarks impact firefox performance in any way? or is it addons alone that will slow firefox? I don't want to "reset" often(not that it's hard to do, just can't imagine anyone wanting to reset their browser every month or so regardless of method.)

Default profile not working when home directory on Windows server.

Hi,
Using 10.6.4.
I have created a default profile (stored in /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj) and this works fine for new local users.
If I bind to AD (Using UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location) and login as an AD user for the first time the default profile is not applied.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Dom.

I'm experiencing the same thing, and am wondering if you had any success?
