Deleteing folder for multiple users

Good morning all -
As most people would admit, I am terrible at scripting in any form. In short, I need assistance with a dummy proof script to delete the contents of a folder for multiple (150+) users, without having to touch each users profile. I would
prefer to be able to execute the script when needed. This won't be listed as a scheduled task or setup as a netlogon. The path is as follows:
C:\Users\michael.jannise.ctr\NS5\tmp
It can either be set to delete the tmp folder entirely, or just the contents of the folder. Which ever is easier.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance provided!
Regards,
Michael

I was going to warn you but this is more fun.
Understanding Windows and the Windows file system is always a big problem for non-technicians.
Learning this technology requires some time for testing things until you understand how they work. You really cannot learn this by asking people on the Internet to give you answers.
The command, as posted. removes only the "tmp" folder contents. How to make that clear is not clear. It needs to be tried. THe safe way yo do thisis to make a parallel structure and test that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I can play the game! :) I know I should spend the time working with this type of technology but, I would not execute it day to day and would most likely still make mistakes.
I am extremely grateful for people like yourselves who are willing to share the knowledge!

One iTunes media folder for multiple users

Hi there,
I'm having trouble getting iTunes 9.0.3 to let me share one media folder across two users. I want to be able to share and update the contents of the media folder from either user account. I had this going before I updated thanks to another discussions post and a little program called BatCHmod, but now it doesn't seem to be working. Not only that, iTunes can't find some of my apps. Help?
It would also be great to be able to do the same with iPhoto.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions !
There's no easy answer for this one. Even the best options still require ongoing maintenance to keep things aligned.
The Consolidate command, unlike your expectations, only examines the current files known to iTunes and copies/reorganizes them into the "Music Location" setting. It does reattach files that were already moved to another location.
Generally speaking, the best option is to work from the computer with the largest/most complete set of music, consolidate it to the new drive, and then use a manual method or recreate the library on other computers using the network location. The "manual" method involves manually editing the "iTunes Music Library.XML" file on the computer to replace the old file location string with the new network location. As long as iTunes was maintaining files in its preferred location (drive:\...\iTunes Music\artist\album\song) this method can magically make the other iTunes' look to the new location for the file.
As for the "missing file" entries, here's a slightly automated cleanup routine.
* select all the files in the iTunes library list
* Get Info
* set BPM to 99 (presumes you don't rely on the BPM field for real data), missing files won't be updated (of course)
* after that completes add BPM to the Library view (ctrl-j or "view options") and sort the library by BPM
* all the missing files are now grouped together so you can easily delete their entries.
As for after all computers are using the network drive...
When a user adds music to their library, other users will not see that new entry. You have to manually drag those new files into the iTunes library on the other computers.

How do I use one downloads folder for multiple users?

I recently added my girlfriend a profile in my Imac. We both have seperate Profiles and logins however I would like to find out, if the the Downloads folder can be used by both profiles. I found that each profile has their own Downloads folder, and goes to their own locations.
I would like to find out, if its possible to re-direct my downloaded files as well as her downloaded files into just ONE "Downloads" folder. The default destination of the downloads folder would be /users/girlfriend(name of girlfriend). I want to change it to /users/(me) so that all downloads would just go to one folder.
Thanks in advance!

Direct your downloads to Users-Shared

Is there a way for multiple users to connect to my home sharing with their iOS device to select music to stream to my A/V receiver jukebox style?

I have an A/V receiver that I can connect to and select music to stream over my network but I want to know if I have a party if it's possible for multiple users to have access on their own devices to my home shared music and select music to play like a jukebox.

I almost forgot that using folders can allow each folder to contain a song. I also recall touch tracks or one key play...

Creating contact folders for multiple users

Hi,
Im trying to create a contacts folder for all users within a domain. This falls into two problems I have come across:
Firstly how do I create a folder that is defined as a contacts folder using powershell. I can successfully create a folder using New-Mailboxfolder Cmd-Let but its a mail folder and does not appear in the contacts area of outlook as though you had created
it using outlook and selected the contacts item type.
Secondly how do I do this for all users using powershell. New-MailboxFolder appears to only work from the user I am logged in as (in this case administrator). I have found multiple sites stating this is the case but none that explain what we should be doing
instead or how to make it work correctly.
Appreciate any help
Thanks
Bill

How can I create a folders of apps for multiple users?

I use several iPads with my students and would like to set up a folder for each student. I want to place "an alias" of each app the student uses in their folder. On my Mac, I can "make alias" and place aliases in seperate folders. How can I do that on my iPad? Thanks!

You can drag one app on top of another and make a folder. However the limit to this is, for your situation, there can be no sharing of apps....the app Fred can only be in one folder because it's only on the device once. (so it may not work for what you need)
and I cannot recall if you can edit the name of the folder.
Unfortunately, for situations like yours, the iPad was created to be a single user device, so there's really not support for multiple users or multiple levels of access.

GRC 10: Initial password for multiple users creation in a ARQ request???

Hi All,
I was trying to create a request in ARQ for multiple users. I noticed that, I could add all the necessary required information for multiple users using the template. I added the roles as well. However, I could not set the initial password for multiple users as the tab "User System Details" (where the initial password is provided for a single user) is disabled!!!
The users were successfully created in the R/3 system. However, due to non-availability of initial password, these users could not log into the R/3 system.
May I know how to set the initial password for multiple users?

Vit,
I was trying to test this multiple user creation scenario. But I am surprise to get a template where in I have only below mentioned fields:
1. User Name
2. User Id
3. Email
I filled these details and uploaded. Then filled the "User Access" details. While submitting the request, I got the error:
"Last name is not mentioned for user id XXX"
But there is not such column in provided template by GRC!
I added 2 columns: First Name and Last Name and saved it and uploaded again. These details are not picked up!
Following are the only columns shown:
1. User Name
2. User Id
3. Email
4. Manager
Out of above, only "Manager" field is editable and others are disabled.
Last time I remember, I has got complete template with all the columns. Unfortunately, I have deleted it and not available with me now.
Any idea you have why am I getting such incomplete template?

Best way to set up a Mac laptop for multiple users with AD logins

I am setting up a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 that will be used as a "loaner" notebook for meetings, etc. The computer will be used internally at our company, so users will be logged into our network. Active Directory is set up on this computer to allow all domain users to log in using their own user name and password; this approach helps meet our company's security standards (we want to avoid using one common login or account for all users).
While this approach seems to fit our needs, it causes problems when it comes to running applications. For instance, each new user is prompted to enter first-time usage information when launching an application (forcing them to contemplate registration information, various settings, etc.). I've given "everyone" read-write privileges to the HD > Library and the Applications folder, but this does not solve anything and may not be a good approach anyway.
I would welcome any advice on the best way to set up this computer for multiple users logging in via Active Directory. Thanks!

Where are you installing the third party applications? It sounds like they are being installed in the 'User 1' account, rather than the /Applications folder (admin or not, one user normally can not see into another user's folders). Repairing permissions only works for applications that have a file in /Library/Receipts, not on folders in general, so you would need to check the permissions for the folders in question.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
Thanks!

You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
is also info about apple ID's.
You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same Citrix server

Hi,
In my previous endeavours to solve this business requirement where multiple users will be able to use the Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP pages inside SAP to PDF, I was told that it is not possible to do this for multiple users at the same time. However I have found an article according to which it says it is possible. Could you check it once and let me know if this article can be used for implementing the requirement stated above as this link clearly indicates that Adobe Acrobat is supported on Citrix.
Please find the link below where it states it is adobe acrobat is supported in Citrix for multiple users.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/citrix.html.

1. What is the Acrobat feature that you mean? There's nothing specific to SAP included with Acrobat.
2. Yes, some Terminal Server configurations appear supported (check carefully). All users of the terminal server will need a license, so far as I know - total licenses = total individual people using.
