Do users have to have admin rights in order to be able to sync?

It seems that the Blackberry users at my company have to have admin rights in order for them to be able to sync their devices to their computers. The company is tightening the controls and soon, only the IT department will have admin rights. So how will users sync their devices? The company is not willing to spend the money on the BES. Any guidance to this problem would be GREATLY appreciated!

hello,
correct. Either a user groups, or directly the rights granted locally on each computer for its owner.
I have no idea so the IT guy will have to trial & error by dichotomy.
patience will be needed.
=> some registry folder in write/modify, some firewall ports opened, some rights on some NTFS folders.
I wish good luck to the ITman. Maybe theyll find salute with technical documentation on how the Desktop Manager works.
it's the price to pay for not paying the price of a BES

Should Netweaver Admins have local server admin rights?

Our netweaver tech admins also have local server admin rights on all of our SAP servers.
Why would these need this access?

This doesn't sound very secure. In the scenario you described, multiple netweaver tech admins would be sharing the <sid>adm account and password.
Would this be considered standard practice in an SAP environment? Would the <sid>adm ID be a Firecall only type of ID?

well i have to be honest, but i don't know if it the vista you use has any significance for this. but you can try.
okay follow:
1: click "start" on the status line on the buttom of your screen.
2: then click on "all Programs" and find "Accessories" and find the "command prompt"
3: Right click with your mouse "command prompt" and click on "run as administrator"
(as you has click'd on "run as administrator", "command prompt" should appear.)
4: when it appears you need to type this "netsh windsock reset"
5: wait for your computer to registrer the command you gave it, and restart your computer.
then erverything should be pretty much as good or better then new.

WebDAV only available to users with Homefolders and Admin rights?

Dear Community,
I am having trouble to setup WebDAV on the lion Server. I am able to login as an Administrator as well as an OD user who has admin rights as well as a home folder. If a user is missing one of those two things then s/he is not able to login to WebDAV. Does anyone know how to give access to OD users who don't have a homefolder or at least don't have admin rights?
Thanks already

Got it to go for about 300 student accounts and works for a no-home user if I define the sharepoints access for that user both in file sharing and in file permissions in Finder.
You should be able to set up a normal file share like a dropbox with the proper permissions, engage the webdav with the "share with iOS devices" and then be able to access it.
So for example, I created a folder on the server called Dropbox and gave it permissions for a certain group to access either in Finder or via CLI (you could use individual users also). Then go into Server App, create a file share of Dropbox and enable "share with iOS devices". Ensure that the user has access on the file share too.
If you enter https://yourserver.com/webdav/ via your device (or your computer via finder / go / connect to server) and authenticate with the non-admin user, you should be presented with the shares that they have access to. I can also go https://yourserver.com/webdav/Dropbox/ to mount the dropbox directly.
I have found that sometimes you need to restart web on Server app (or sometimes the whole server) on the server to show the new "share" in its current configuration. You should also see your shares listed at /etc/apache2/httpd_webdavsharing_sharepoints.conf or /etc/apache2/webdav_sharepoints.conf.
Hope this helps

How Do I Create User Account with "limited admin rights"?

Hello;
I would like to give a handful of users the ability to login to the DCC and enable them to add/delete/modify users and or hosts only, I.e. People and/or hosts.
Is there anyway to:
1. Make a user with this admin capability?
2. Segregate the containers they are able to modify?
Thanks to all in advance.

BobM53, That would be needed regardless of what front end my users log in with, in my case I was looking for them to access the DIT via the DSCC/DCC, which is not possible. Regardless, thank you for your reply, it is reassuring to know I am headed in the right direction.
I am now looking towards installing something else like Apache Directory Studio, or some other GUI for users to manage the directory.
I will most likely create one or more ACI's to build groups, adding members to those groups as needed; each group being allowed to perform functions such as create users, lockout users, add/modify hosts, etc.
I will most likely follow the steps outlined in:
Directory Server Groups, Roles, and CoS - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
Slightly OT, does anyone have a suitable and similar proven method to "lockdown" root accounts, and who has root access?
Thank you

Newly created user packages with no admin rights

Hi all,
Have already opened a ticket with Novell on this one as i've never seen it before...
Have upgraded a site to ZFD7 SP1 IR2 using the iso's from the Novell site, so it's a full upgrade install, everything went perfectly on the server, consoleone snapins upgraded fine and all
however, if I try and create a user package with consoleone from the server, it hangs and never completes and I end up with packages with no rights for any users, so i'm unable to edit, delete or do anything with them
also tried using a workstation with IR4 snapins which gives the same result, using a spare consoleone with earlier zfd7 snapins I can create packages with no issues
Anyone run into this before and will we be able to get rid of these objects from the tree?
And are the IR4 snapins not compatable with IR2?

HT1386 unable to sync my ipad2 receive an error message 1140 (unknown error) HELP..don't want to have to go to the apple store to be able to sync my ipad to my desktop !!

For some unknown reason, I am unable to sync my ipad2 with my desktop. I receive a message saying it cannot sync due to an unknown error 1140.
Hate to have to run to the apple store to get this resolved...hope someone here knows the answer !! I need to sync !!
Thank You.

Experienced User Terrell Smith recently posted on this Error Code:
Terrell Smith:
"Today I was in an Apple Store, and four Apple Geniuses could not solve this problem. It seems to have something with large iPhoto Libraries, because when I started iPhoto up with a small library (1,100 photos), the problem did not occur. In iTunes, under the Photo's option "Sync Photos," if the iPhoto library is large (38,000 photos), the option to select the radio button "Selected albums, Events, and Faces" is grayed out, and you cannot select it.
My guess is that since the large iPhoto library will not fit on your iOS device, iTunes throws the 1140 error.
As others have noted, if you uncheck "Sync Photos" in iTunes, the rest of things will sync instead of throwing the 1140 error message.
But you don't have synced photos then.
The Apple Store told me they have no solution for this error. We should file iPhoto Feedback, and that this issue has been escalated to Apple Engineering."

I have Microsoft Outlook at my work and must be able to sync with

it, I currently have a Pre and cannot sync with it at this time. I want to switch to an iphone. How difficult is it to sync between outlook and iphone 3g?
Also, will I need to get MobileMe?
Thanks anyone who cares to respond, it is appreciated.

Your company needs to allow it. If they don't then there is nothing you can do to sync with Exchange at work.
Ask them for the settings if they allow it and what they support.
If they support ActiveSync then it is pretty easy (no need for Mobile Me) Mobile Me is just for users that want their own contacts syncing with a server (like syncing with Exchange). It is more for personal use.
EDIT: Misread your question. Thought you wanted to sync with your works Exchange Server.
If you just want to sync with your computer at work you can sync with your address book but need iTunes installed at work then.

I have a new iPad Air but I am not able to sync any non-iTunes purchased movies between my Mac and the iPad. My old iPad still syncs correctly.

I have tried all the advice from the forums such as editing the info in iTunes, adding playlist, changing the info categories, ensuring there is adequate iCloud backup space, but to no avail. I suspect the issue is with an iPad setting or with iCloud as this is only a problem for the new iPad and not the old one but cannot see where anything differs from the old iPad settings. Any dieas welcome.

Hi Demo, I am back, so here is my result.
On my PC I signed out of itunes and deleted the software and then downloaded again.
It appears, at this stage to be working OK. It has allowed me to do a restore and backup, fingers crossed xxx.
That is a very good sign.
The happy result is, I have not been arrested and my computer is intact, so far.......
Thanks for trying to help..
I'm happy to hear this news. Sorry that I couldn't help, but you are quite welcome anyway.

Do I HAVE to restore my iPOD in order to be able to put music on it again?

I recently had to wipe out my computer due to viruses, so I lost all my files, music, etc. However, now I wish to put more music onto my iPOD, but iTunes is telling me that my iPOD is synched with another library and can only be synched to one at a time. I de-authorized my other computer, and now I don't know what else to do. There has to be a way to do this without me losing all my music on my iPOD. I REALLY do not want to restore it. Please help me if you can. Thank you.

Hey there,
You can set your iPod up to manually manage music and videos. Instructions on how to do that can be found [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535].
Otherwise, another solution is to copy all the songs currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library. There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
It all depends on if you have a Mac or PC with how you copy your music over. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your new computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer." From there, restore your iPod and sync it with your new library. I did notice you did not want to go this route though.

Too many different admin rights, user preferred

Hello,
I have after migrating to my new Mac, 5 accounts, almost all with admin right now.
Two migrations, the second one done with admin rights, doubled the number of accounts...
I want to keep all accounts, that is ok - I use only one as main, with my first admin account on my old Mac, being left as "history".
Now I need to get help with
How to put all admin rights more normal than now, when I've got:
staff, admin, system, and three different user accounts with admin rights.
I had to give them admin rights in order to get Mail migration done, this worked ok when I did the second migration, and got more accounts..
I want to get advice on what type of model/principle to aim for, for the admin rights all over the file system,
I would love to have the rights as simple as possible, no special entries for all the above admin accounts.
So, should I use my main admin account, which was the main account on my last Mac, and have
my currently used account (with admin rights), reworked as a User account, just to be more safe,
although Mac security seems to be improving.
I am very unsure of how much I have to rework the rights on things in my whole file system,
in order to normally be able to run using only a normal user account, with no admin rights.
Things seem to work ok, now when everything is admin, but I'm afraid that I'll get many Apps
starting to have trouble if I don't have rights set smartly.
Thanks for any ideas about how to do this using as few principles as possible!
Thanks,
/groundliner

I think it would be far to messy to do things over, since I've used the new setup for two month or so. I have, after the migration, evacuated the internal Macintosh HD's contents with 5 accounts, to my new external SSD.
And it is of course not so easy to return to what the internal, dimounted partition contains, now a few weeks afterwards. And then I've had Mail and everything running for a month before that, after the messy migration. A problem also is that my Time Machine volume would get crowded with everything on the one drive. After all this...
Installing a new system with recovery mode, was what I did when I did the second migration. But that whole adventure scared me a bit also, that I have to plan things before doing anything. I did not. I did not either know that my Snow Leopard partition had to go. (I bought a few new Upgraded Apps).
One further problem I have, is that my Migration was done from my Time Machine volume, and now I have two, three Western Digital HDs, and they are hardware encrypted, so they had to be unlocked before I could do any Migration. I felt that I had to plan that, but it just got done a bit too fast. Also, I had trouble Importing all my mail into Mail, so Apple support recommended me to do a migration again using an Admin account. - So I got too many accounts, and it's no big hurry to clean out the somewhat doubled folders. (And I own "Spring Cleaning", so I can somewhat easily compare which folders are identical between the doubled accounts.)
With your method I agree that I maybe could succeed getting a copy on my machine of everything on the old one. And eliminating things, I was pretty satisfied with having not copies of very much on the old one. That mess was the result of two Migrations. And that I accidentally, after the second Migration, got Time Machine starting suddenly - so I have backups that are unnecessary with intermediate results.
Thanks, I'll look at the Setup New Mac guide.
The sorting out of permissions is maybe only neccessary to do on the folders in Users/* and the like.
And then I'll not touch the permissions for system, (but wheel have I not yet seen on the Mac).
I know that I have added rights for administrators here and there, but I strongly suspect I only did that on the top levels. Also, some of my migration problems had to do with evacuating my main (Admin) account on my old Mac - I got tired of a messy account, and did some cleaning out and moved User data to a new (user) account. Apple support told me how to do some of the transferring, like moving Mail files and other stuff.
Thanks anyway!

VS2010 Crystal 13 click-once deployment without user admin rights?

The only supported way of deploying our runtimes is to use one of our prepackaged msi's.
We do not have any documentation for manual deployment or anything that lists what specific dlls, registry settings, etc are needed to run specific configurations (ie web app vs windows apps).
Jason

As well as what Jason posted CR MUST have local PC Admin rights because we need to get past DEP/UAC etc. as well as be able to register the COM components, insert all of the registry keys required and the usual folder creation and file copying. Without it CR simply won't install properly and your app will never run. As noted in those other posts if you write a .NET app you have no choice but to use/set the native permissions and file distribution. If it's a WEB based app the you deploy it on each WEB server, users get a Viewer and Printer control through a browser download. But for Windows, it's a must.
IT departments have the ability to push out Special permissions for users to install software, not a CR configuration so check with your IT group or Microsoft and search on Profiles. So the each users doesn't need to be granted Admin rights to use it but they need it to install, assuming when installed it's set for All users. Other option is a local network Admin install on each PC. Not the nice way of doing things though.
Bottom line is because it's a Native .NET windows app you have no choice but to distribute all of CR's runtime and dependencies.

Read user groups from realm. Admin rights to each user ??

Greetings to ALL,
I am reading users, groups from realm. If I give the user admin priviliges I am
able to get the information else I get the error weblogic.management.NoAccessRuntimeException:
Access not allowed for subject: principals=[ruser1, B10AP01, B10MP01, B10MP03A,
B10MP03], on ResourceType: Security:Name=myrealmDefaultAuthenticator Action: execute,
Target: listGroups
Is there more effective way to read the information.
I can execute the program standalone ( from DOS PROMPT) and read all information
if I do the following
adminHome = (MBeanHome) Helper.getAdminMBeanHome (username,password,url);
But when calling from the application I get the above error.
Any code, suggestion will be very helpful.

Networked 1312 and Admin Rights

Hi,
Recently all of our users had their local admin rights removed and now no one can scan through the network unless they log off and log back in as local admin (which is a pain of course). I've tried a few different things like installing the software from a folder where they have full rights but the scanning will not go to completion without admin rights. You can't install with Run As and if you try to scan with Run as it will not let you have access to the file
Any workaround for this?
Thanks!

I can't do a **** thing and have been hunting and trying everything I know to fix
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.
Actually - from the day I recevied this newMac I had trouble simply FINDING WiFi - opening a WiFi interfae panel - entering any info to log on to a Wi-Fi home network already set-up and working previously - etc
Did you call Apple tech support? If not, why not?

Do users have to have admin rights in order to be able to sync?
