Delegate Control - Add/Remove Computers

We are looking at a way to delegate control to our client services group so that they can add and remove computers from the domain.  I am not seeing this in the available options.  We'll be applying this to certain OU's within the domain to ensure
they cannot remove critical server accidentally such as a DC.  Ideas or links are appreciated.
Thanks!

These articles cover delegating these rights to users.  In general delegating these rigths creates issues because the user that created the object is given full control, and therefore they can do things other users can't.  Moving an object requires
special rights in the source and target OU, while managing all computers in multiple OUs requires additional rights.

  • Firefox crashed 2 days ago and will now not open, and won't uninstall via Control panel add/remove programs; the files are still there on Windows Explorer. IE8 still works.

    My PC is a fujitsuscaleo 600, last year I had a new hard drive and some extra RAM fitted and since then has been good - have used, and updated Firefox for over 6 years. in August I installed TrendMicro antivirus and for different reasons this has been uninstalled/re-installed twice. AFter letting it expire, I re-installed ParetoLogic PC health advisor (I think in August too)and allowed it to try updating some graphics drivers following a scan - this was unsuccessful so I marked them to ignore (something about my graphics card not supporting the drivers downoladed). I can see the mozilla files on WIndow Explorer but if I click 'remove' (control panel, add/remove programs) I get a very short 'hourglass' then nothing; if I click Firefox icon I get the same. Help!

  • I recently downloade Firefox v6.0 but had to remove it via the Control Panel Add/Remove Program. When I tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copy of v6.0.

    I recently downloade Firefox v6.0 but had to remove it via the Control Panel>Add/Remove Program. When I downloaded v6.0 again and tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copyof v6.0. However when I did reboot I get the same error message. I'm sort of stuck in a loop and can't figure out how I can re-install v6.0. I am running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.

    Please do the following.
    Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
    However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
    Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.

  • How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

    I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

    For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
    What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

  • MSN hijacks my firefox home page, no matter how many times I reset to Firefox Google. I do not have any MSN extension in my add ons, nor a BING file in my control panel add/ remove section. So how to get rid of it

    I have tried the forum suggestions for re-setting my home page, how to disable add-on extensions, and how to to remove from any MSN / BING from my add/ remove in the control panel, but it persisits.
    I do have IE 8 also , but only use it on websites that only function with IE, but my home page on IE is of my choice (GOOGLE) and does not reset to MSN. So whatever the problem is, it does not affect IE only Firefox
    Any help ?

    Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
    Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
    Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
    I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
    :| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
    Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

  • I cannot uninstall Firefox, either through Control Panel Add/Remove or by running helper.exe from Program Files.

    Nothing happens when I click on REMOVE for Mozilla Firefox from the Add/Remove screen of Control Panel. I then tried to run helper.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files, but that wouldn't run either. Any suggestions?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice

    unistalled foxtab, however the window saying "want to add this pers. button to toolbar" no matter what I do I can't get it off , close firefox, remove or delete or get a new firefox download to replace it in the harddrive etc. Its locked up firefox and I have to use safari to access the web. how do I get this circular message etc. off ?

  • Windows 2000 prof. I noticed that I have both versions 3.6 and 6.02 installed when i checked the this in the add/remove program in the control panel. Can i remove the v3.6?

    I have windows 2000 professional operating system version 5.0.2195 service pack 4 build 2195. I usually logged on as "user1". When i clicked on firefox it will try to install update but will return a message that update cannot be installed "please make sure that there are no other copies of firefox running on your computer". But there are no other copies of firefox running.
    I checked the add/remove program in the control panel and found out that I have ver3.6.10 and ver6.0.2 installed.
    Can i remove the ver3.6.10 using the uninstall button in the add/remove program?
    Another problem is that I cannot logged in as "administrator".
    When i logged in as "administrator" the computer just shut down and restart by itself while loading my desktop icons.

    The normal method is simply
    * Help -> Check for Updates
    on Firefox (Window XP)
    * see also [[Updating Firefox]]
    You should be able to delete Firefox and remove it, from your Windows XP control panel although that may not be what you intend.
    If you have doubts about compatibility stay with Firefox3.6 for now.
    Some software extensions will currently have problems with firefox 4 (and that iircc may include some versions of silverlight )
    Do NOT use any delete settings (or whatever it is worded) that will loose all your passwords and bookmarks.
    BTW the safe mode in relation to Firefox is a totally different concept from Windows safe mode, but you probably have no need to use either of them.
    * see also [[Safe Mode]]
    On an ordinary upgrade Firefox will preserve your profile details which include bookmarks any passwords.
    You should have no problems in installing Firefox 4. You should be able to install firefox 4, and retain any bookmarks etc that were used in firefox 3.6, but sometimes extensions may be incompatible.

  • When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

    When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

    It is quite common for the program size listings to be wrong. To check the actual size of the Firefox installation, you can manually check the size of the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. It is is typically around 26-30Mb, and the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    There are also a couple of other locations where Firefox stores data, check the size of the following folders as well.
    Firefox also stores user data such as bookmarks and passwords in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    Firefox stores temporary files in the cache. To find the location of the cache, type '''about:cache''' into the location bar. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    The last 2 folders are normally hidden, you may need to set Vista to [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html show hidden files and folders].

  • Trying to remove the ultimas games toolbar and can't find reference to it in the add/remove programs in the control panel.

    A toolbar "ultimate games" has appeared on firefox; I can't find any reference to it in the control panel "add/remove programs" list. How can I get rid of it?

    I followed the instructions but when I got to highlighting the ultimate games extension, there was no removal button, only an "enable" button. I really want to remove it altogether. So what can I do?

  • Help! - Distorted Add Remove List control!

    Can anyone tell me why on some pc's my Add Remove list control appears stretched out - that is, the right-side 'selected' list box will extend to the left covering the add/remove buttons and the same 'selected' box is only half drawn from the left side (right side missing), including the title being truncated, and the title is then duplicated to the right in its entirety. (It is hard to describe but I can provide a screenshot if needed).
    As soon as an item is selected or de-selected, it re-adjusts itself to normalcy!
    It seems to be a browser independent problem which ONLY happens on SOME pc's and NEVER on others! This leads me to suspect an out-of-date jar or class file on the local pc but I can't seem to find anything inconsistent.
    CAN ANYONE HELP?! It is preventing us from putting this page into production and I would hate to have to write my own replacement, as it would take more time than we have.

  • Enumerate Add/Remove programs list in Control Panel

    Here is a vi to read the Add/Remove programs list from the registry. My Add/remove programs list contains an item that uses a really large font (something like 98 font size). This makes it impossible to see the program name and select it for add/remove. I think I have it narrowed down to an Autocad program, but I'm not sure how to change the font size yet. This vi will list the display name in control panel, the uninstall string, and the registry subkey. Thought this might be useful for someone. It is 7.0 format.

  • Equivalent to "Add/Remove Programs" aka "Programs and Features" Controls???

    WHEN will Apple finally get around to adding an equivalent thing to Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" (XP) aka "Programs and Features" (Vista) Control Panel???
    I am looking to uninstall some software from my computer. But only God knows where the installer has stashed files all over my drive! I don't want to leave behind a single preferences file or extension.
    Is there some easy way in Mac to do this? In Windows you just go to "Add/Remove Program" and you can uninstall every last shred or trace of that software. But in the Mac... there's about four or five major places to look, but how can you know if it installed something in a hidden directory in the Unix directories somewhere??

    drdocument, I respectfully, completely disagree with you.
    The average Mac user has no clue as to what the Library folder is for. Nor would they be able to sort through it all to find the five locations where the tons of crap might be stored.
    Lets take several examples. Here's some programs that I have installed that are quite typical of Mac users:
    Garage Band
    iTunes
    Adobe CS3
    Microsoft Office
    NONE of these programs can be deleted easily. Garbage Band stores its garbage in numerous unintuitive places:
    /Users/me/Music/Garageband
    /Library/Audio/Plug-ins
    /Library/Application Support/Garage Band/
    /Users/me/Library/Preferences/
    Further, it's not always clear whether the files you are deleting are used by just one application, or multiple applications from that same company (or even other companies). I often feel unsure if I'm deleting something from /Library/Audio/Plug-ins or /Library/Application Support/Adobe because... is it used only by Photoshop? What if I just wanted to uninstall InDesign and I no longer have the original install disk because, lets say, I sold it?
    It should not fall upon the user to play sleuth and hunt down the myriad places that these apps store things on the drive!!!
    There should be an EASY Control Panel in System Preferences that lets you uninstall any program off your drive. I seriously don't think that this would hamper application development or make the system run slower or be kludgy. Besides, when has Apple ever taken the path of making things harder on users because they were afraid by making it easier, it would slow down the computer???
    If anything the opposite has always been true.
    Even a shareware app that just has one application file and no other files on the drive should be able to be uninstalled with confidence by a control panel. Since, how do you KNOW it didn't put another file somewhere, even a preferences file? God only knows how many preferences files are on my drive that I don't need because they never got erased when I uninstalled the app. It would take me days to comb through that mess, especially since the arcane and unintuitive preference file naming scheme used by OS X does not use plain english but rather uses ridiculous un-Mac-like names like "com.unsanity.hoseyoursystem.preference"... whatever happened to "Microsoft Word Preferences" and "Adobe Photoshop Preferences" -- nice Mac-like filenames?!?!??!
    I'm tired of the PC-ization of the Mac, the further and further making it more complicated, having apps store more crap in more different places. Having multiple Library folders is just a nightmare from an ease-of-use standpoint, though I know it's necessary for a multi-user OS. But there ought to be a way to have a "single-user" mode that would eliminate the Users directory all together and just store everything at the root level of the HD, rather than having all my documents buried 10 levels deep into the drive.
    Anyway the point is you are wrong. The way it is set up makes it harder on users -- even seasoned users like me -- when we want to cleanly uninstall an application with confidence. It means tons of extra time sifting through the labrynthine unix crap. I hate it! Where has "user friendly" gone??
    Besides I would never trust a third-party shareware program to uninstall things. How would i know that it knew what to do? Plus it adds extra expense to the OS, for a feature that has been standard on Windows for what seems like 10 years!
    When will we finally get this feature? 2020?
