Disable User Account Icon

I want to disable the user account icon (circled yellow in the attached image) which is visible on pressing windows key after user log on.
Let me know how to disable this for a single user using registry.
Thank You,
Sagar

Hi,
I don't think this is possible. As this is by design.
Besides, if you want to disable the user account picture, we might follow the below steps:
Go here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures
Rename user.bmp and guest.bmp to user.ren and guest.ren respectively. (The suffix actually doesn't matter - Just chose ren (stands for 'renamed')
Reboot
Best regards

Disabling User Account Control - CUBAC

Installing Cisco Unified Business Attendant Console. Documentation says that on server 2003 / sever 2008 installations, disabling of the user account control is required. It gives a procedure to do this on Server 2008.
The install I'm working on is on Server 2003. I cannot find anything like this. Googling on the subject has led me to believe that this is likely a documentation bug, as I can find no reference to Server 2003 having this feature.
Has anyone else run into this? The documentation appears to have been written by someone who speaks english as a second language, and not thoroughly vetted for correctness.

Hi Clifford,
This would just be for Windows server 2008
CSCtc77367            Bug Details
CUBAC 3.1.1.5 docs need to say "disable User Account Contol" in win2008w.
It appears UAC (user account Control) a new feature found in   Windows Server 2008 will block license files from being properly applied in CUBAC 3.1.1.5.
The installation and requirement docs should reflect that UAC needs to be disabled before installing CUBAC on Windows Server 2008.
Observations:
Go to webadmin, licensing
When you look at that page, you will not see any licensing info; no eval.
It says, no licensing info.
When we turned off UAC, the licensing page showed the eval info for 5 days.
At which point we were able to add the license

I cannot change any user account icons

I cannot change any user account icons. Under the Default icons it says "No Items". Any new users are set up with a tennis ball with no other options. In the initial set up, there were a lot of choices. Now they're gone. It there a missing file?

Yes the missing user icons is unexplained and nothing I've tried has resolved it.
It seems to have occurred as part of the 10.8.2 update for me.
No user shows any of the default or custom user icons available in the users system preference. All the Apple icons are present in the /Library/User Icons folder as well as custom icons but they do not appear within the system's panel period. No icons appear there. You are able to add icons to it -per user. Any done in this manner are saved in that user's preferences so this does not affect the system level. I have tried removing preferences. I have tried removing the icons and adding them back including as root but all changes are applied to the user only. I have run Diskwarrior, repaired permissions, etc. And nothing changes this.
I cloned the image to another laptop, deleted all preferences from main library, restarted, logged in expecting it to be a preference issue. Still no user pictures shown for default user. In case the original users were corrupt, I created a new user and logged in with it. It was given one of the OSX pictures randomly chosen by the system. I logged in as user and still no pictures are shown. Tried to do a reinstall of 10.8.2 combo update and system refuses saying I cannot be done. Booted from recovery partition and it allowed an internet recovery.
No change. Took a brand new laptop and used user migration to copy the users over to it with all settings. Broke that system as well. Repeated creating new users, etc and no change. This is really annoying. I can repeat migrating users only and then partial settings to try to narrow it down but its time consuming.

User account icon attached to outgoing messages

I was wondering if there is a way to keep Mail from attaching my user account icon to all outgoing messages. Thanks.

it's not actually attached to outgoing messages and your e-mail recipients won't see it.

Disable user accounts on Unix, Linux resorces

Hi Everyone
I try to understand disable user account action on Unix, Linux systems
In Resource reference doc. I see the next:
Linux does not natively support Waveset enable and disable actions.
Waveset simulates enabling and disabling accounts by changing the
user password. The changed password is exposed on enable actions,
but it is not exposed on disable actions.
As a result, enable and disable actions are processed as update actions.
Any before or after actions that have been configured to operate on
updates will execute.
So what kind of commands waveset using for this action:
passwd -l <Username>
or just change password?
Thanks

Hi,
The out of the box adapter changes the user's Linux password on disable action.
To Implement locking of account by running "passwd -l username", you need to write a resource action and call it explicitly. Hope it helps

Disable user account on Active Directory??

I sync user account from iPlanet DS to Active Directory through Meta Directory. If I disable user account on iPlanet DS, can meta directory disable the user account on Active Directory Server?

AD has an attribute called userAccountControl. This attribute has a value of 512 when an AD account is active and 546 when it has been disabled. I flow a constructed attribute called userAccountControl with two rules, one for enable and one for disable. The selection criteria for the enable/disable rule is based upon a change in employee status. For example, (%mv.employeestatus%==T). Another way to do this would be a single attribute constructrion rule that calls an external script (written in Perl) that accounts for multiple conditions and then enables/disables the AD account accordingly. In the attribute flow rule, you flow the constructed attribute userAccountControl to mdsAdUserAccountControl (assuming an AD-Specific schema setting in the AD connector).

Remove GrantSendOnBehalfTo disabled user accounts - A novice at scripting

Hello. Can anyone help please
In our exchange 2010 environment we have users who are granted send on behalf to access. Obviously some users leave and I m finding that there are ghosts left behind which are causing issues with our team who add users into the grantsendonbehalfto
option using the EMC. Using the log view we coy out the command and then remove the disabled user from the command and then paste this into an Exchange Powershell command line. This wrks because it is doing what Exchange EMC does which is rewrites
the -GrantSendOnBehalfTo option in it new entirety.
The problem occurs because I need to remove these en-mass from approx 700 plus accounts.
I have tried to modify one user in order to get the script to work but it doesn't.
This is the error message that happens when I run the script below against a known account with at least 2 disabled users in:-
Couldn't find object "xxxxxxxx.xx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx/DisabledUsers/2013-08/Gaynor Collins-Punter". Please make sure that i
was spelled correctly or specify a different object. Reason: The recipient xxxxxxxx.xx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx/DisabledUsers/2

This is the script I have used.

Foreach($mailbox in $mailboxes)

}If you requiere any more info please let me know.

#1 - I recommend posting in xchange forum fo rhow to do this
#2 - Wen an account is disabled most on the information in the object is hidden. YOu would need to undelete to use the object.
#3 - Get list as text and validaye al values are not deleted accounts. Remove deleted and save back.

Disabling User account

Hi all,
We have an attribute *"nsaccountlock"* in LDAP.
We have a requirement that if "*nsaccountlock*" is set to "*true*" then the user account must be disabled or locked in SIM as well.
If anyone has any pointers regarding the same, please post how this can be achieved.
Any pointers may be helpful.
Thanks

To do this you need to use activesync so that the changes on LDAP are detected in SIM. We are using that process today however version 6.1 seems to have an issue when nsaccountlock is not present in LDAP.
Here are some notes from version 7 document:
Set the nsAccountLock attribute
To use the nsAccountLock attribute to disable and enable accounts, configure the LDAP resource as follows:
On the Resource Parameters page, set the LDAP Activation Method field to nsaccountlock.
Set the LDAP Activation Parameter field to IDMAttribute=true. (IDMAttribute will be specified on the schema in the next step.) For example, accountLockAttr=true.
On the Account Attributes page, add the value specified in the LDAP Activation Parameter field as an Identity System User attribute. Set the Resource User attribute to nsaccountlock. The attribute must be of type string.
Set the nsAccountLock LDAP attribute on the resource to true.
Identity Manager sets nsaccountlock to true when disabling an account. It also assumes that pre-existing LDAP users that have nsaccountlock set to true are disabled. If the nsaccountlock has any value other than true (including null), the system concludes the user is enabled.

Disabling user accounts programmactically

Hello,
I have an application that one of its functions is user management. Im trying to find a way to disable and enable user accounts programmatically with the Sun Directory Server 6.3. From what I have found, using the nsAccountLock attribute seems the easiest but I cant seem to set it using ldapmodify from the command line.
Ive seen some posts about setting the activation method to nsaccountlock but I cant find where to do that, no feature oid, or server attribute by that name is listed in the schema that I can find. The pages that I have found sound like the option is set from some management console/page, but Id like to do it using LDIF if possible.
Anyone know where this configuration option is hiding?
Thanks!

nsAccountLock is an operational attribute so you need to specify it explicitly (in ldapsearch list of attributes) to see its value. You can use ldapmodify to set it to true or false. Not setting it, equals to "false".

Disabling user account after 24hrs

Hi all.
We have a requirement to disable new user accounts if they are not logged into within 24hrs of creation, I suspect this can be done with some Powershell however I can't really think how.... Any ideas?
Cheers :)

Hi there,
This should get you started.
$when = (get-date) - (new-timespan -days 5)
Get-ADUser -properties created,lastlogondate -filter { created -gt $when } | ? { $_.lastlogondate -eq $null }
It's not a perfect answer to your question but it should get you in the right direction.

Automatically disable user accounts after specific number days Oracle Apps

Hi All,
Is there a way, using group policy or any other method to automatically disable a user account if it hasnt been used (ie,, no has logged on using that account) after a certain amount of days??
This is something I would like to apply enterprise wide, so setting expiry dates on each users object is out, and obviously I only want to apply this to inactive accounts.
Thanks in advance
Saquib

Saquib,
There is no such profile option. However, you can write a code to check LAST_LOGON_DATE in FND_USER table and based on this you can disable/lock the account.

OIM 11g - Approval workflows for disabled user accounts

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein a user will be created in OIM with a future start date resulting in a Disabled Untill Start Date user status. Once the user is created, we should let anyone submit a New Hire form for the user and the submitted form needs to be approved by the Manager. Once the Manager approves the form, the target accounts should get created with disabled status. These accounts should get enabled on the start date.
As submission of New Hire Form is not a straightforward process, we came up with the following design.
A dummy resource object corresponding to the New Hire Form will be created and can be requested for a newly hired person by anyone who has OIM access. An approval workflow will be configured for the New Hire Form Resource object and provisioning of target accounts will be based on Manager's approval for this resource object.
However the challenge that we see with this design is, it wasn't possible to place a request for New Hire Form dummy resource object for a disabled user. But the requirement is to complete the New Hire Form submission process befor the user becomes active.
How can these workflows be invoked for a disbaled user? Is there any other way to implement this requirement?
Any kind of help/guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepa

If I create a dummy resource, called "Group Membership" for example, and use this to show the groups that are available in AD, how can I have the request be routed to different approvers? For example, group cn=HR Users,cn=Users,dc=company,dc=com needs to be routed to HR for approval. Group cn=IT,cn=Users,dc=company,dc=com needs to be routed to IT for approval. How can I change the approvers dynamically?
Re: Spawning multiple approval tasks in parallel in OIM11g SOA Composite
You can have dynamic task assignment in BPEL; where you defne a variable in the task assignment and update the variable with the approver group name before triggering the task assignment task. Check BPEL docs for same.
If every group needs a different approver, and there are 5000 groups, can I make 5000 resources and use the built-in routing of approvals? Or, use the dummy resource approach and handle the management of the approvals in some other way.Just make one resource with one field attached to it which takes in the group name and handle approval in SOA by reading a lookup which has AD group to Approval Group mapping.

System preferences default icons set not showing when modifying user account icon

Hi!
I was willing to change my account icon and went into system preferences, accounts and groups, open my account and clicked on the icon in order to change it.
To my surprise there was no default icons showing.
All the icons are in their place in System/Lybrary/User Pictures/ but it seems there is not any info connecting them to the default icon set when modifying the accounts icon. The problem is on all the accounts.
I updated the system to 10.8.2 and the problem is still there.
I already did the permission verification and the only one which is alwasy appearing (even after repair) is someone related to "ruby".
I can give more details if needed.
Thank you everybody for your help.

Thanks Bernard,
It works fine with JInitiator but not working with
the JPI. For JPI what settings I need to do ??hi TKARIM and Bernard, i am having similar problem even with the Bernard's recommended setup. could you post the webutiljini.htm (i presume you are using config=test) ?
i am actually using jinitiator 1.3.1.28 with Oracle HTTP Server of OAS 10gR2) calling Forms Server 6i (f60cgi). After setting up according to Bernard's recommended setup steps, the java console showed that it loaded the icon jar file when it could not read the form, but it skipped the loading of the icon jar file once it read and started the form. How do we specify in the form to pick up the icon from the jar file instead from a directory ? Or do we need to specify ? Any ideas ?
Thx and Regards

Randomly Disabled User Accounts in Server 10.3.9

For various political reasons, we've chosen to skip 10.4 server and wait for 10.5.
So, the problem is that users will be unable to log in, and once I go to Workgroup manager, they're "log in" checkbox is unchecked, but their user icon isn't crossed out (which would happen in someone had manually disabled them). Once I re-check the box, they're able to log in again normally. Most of them have aliases created on their docks, so I know they're not just typing their passwords in wrong enough to be disabled.
So, two questions:
1) Would upgrading to 10.4.8 fix this?
2) Is there any way to fix this in 10.3.9?

I've had a lot of trouble even in 10.4 with users being automatically disabled while the "wrong password protection" is enabled. Try disabling it for a few days and see if any accounts are disabled. If that's the problem, it will probably be difficult to track down the source of the bad login attempts. Are you authenticating Windows clients or just Macs?
