Everyone Deny Delete ACL on all user preferences

Hi, I know that user accounts have an ACL on certain folders to prevent them being deleted, but on one of my users this ACL has appeared on all his preferences files and folder, and they are all explicit so I can't just change the enclosing folder and propagate to remove them.
does anyone know a terminal command I could use to remove all of these because at the moment if the user tries to change any application preferences the app will crash on quit.

This has happened to 50+ accounts on my file server as well, on accounts that were created only 2 weeks prior. I'd like to find out why this happens and how to prevent it.
I find myself having to hand edit perms, which is a huge pain.

Powershell Command to permanently delete items in ALL users Deleted Items folder older than X days.

Does anyone know a powershell command that can be run on Exchange 2010 SP1 that will permanently delete mail in the deleted items folder older than X days for ALL users in a specific database? This should include any user created subfolders in deleted items
also.
I know that seems bizarre to have user created subfolders in deleted items but we have found that users have discovered that if they create subfolders then their deleted items dont get purged at the regular retention period time.
Thank You.

Hi,
For Exchange 2010 SP1, we can use search-mailbox and new-mailboxexportrequest to delete message in certain folder.

You are using what looks like PowerShell mixed with batch. % variables do not exeisits in PowerShell they are in the form of $env:USERPROFILE. That variable is only valid for the currently logged in users. It is not global.
Normally we would do this with Group Policy and not with a script. Yu can do it with a GP scheduled task or on every login. Contact you Administrator to set this up for you. If you decide to do this centrally then you will also need your
network Admin to help you. You will need to design a method that fits your network.
If you do not have an Admin trained in Windows Networking then you can try and contact a consultant or you can take time to study the learning materials until you understand how Windows and scripting work. The links on the top of this page are a good
place to start.

How can I migrate all users preferences from 1 user to another on same MAC

To get CS3 to work Adobe tech support had me create a new user account and install from there. Now the NEW account is the only account CS3 works in but all my settings, files, addresses, EVERYTHING are under the old account. Since it works on one account it's not their problem anymore. Is there ANYWAY to get all my old stuff from old account to new. I don't know where to begin, it's like I'm at a new computer. I can get to some of my files but can't save them back where they belong, grayed out.

Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think we'd be better off figuring out how to install it for the other User, but...
Do a Get info on the Adobe Apps/Folders in Applications on the working User, report the 3 Rights/Privileges.

Clear all user preferences elements 9

Hi
how can I reset elements 9 to its default settings when it is first loaded deactivating uninstalling and reloading did not work
for me it found and reused my old settings when I reinstalled it?
I am running windows 7 home premium 32 bit on a duel core laptop sometimes I use two monitors but I run the second monitor
through an asus usb docking station so I can also use three portable hard drives to store and edit pictures
My origional problem was I sometimes run a duel monitor setup and was running elements 9 on the second monitor
when I closed the program it was running on the second monitor.
The next time I used elements I was using a single monitor elements 9 loaded ok but the magic exteactor was looking to load on the
second monitor but it was unplugged so nothing appeared and the program acted like it locked up
pushing enter unlocked the program and the magic extractor appeared in the history pallet no change to the picture though
plugging in the second monitor and dragging the magic extractor pallet back to the primary monitor solved this
This is the only tool that has done this to me so far all the others that I have used appear on the primary monitor
when elements itself is runing on the second monitor
Thanks

Try quitting the editor, then restarting it while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

IMac wiped all user preferences

I bought my iMac on 29 Nov but problems meant it had to be returned a week later. Best buy could not resolve the issue so replaced it was another new 21.5 iMac which worked fine until my husband bought me a memory upgrade for Christmas then kernel panics started to happen and Apple support suggested trying to re-install Lion that was 2 days ago but it seemed to work the kernal panics stopped and everything was fine until this morning.
I switched on the iMac only to find all my settings have gone, the machine couldn't recognise my keyboard or mouse (though the trackpad still worked) and the GUI was like a new iMac with the standard background but a couple of the original icons like the application folder are also missing from the standard dock set up. All of my preferences, customisations have gone, there are no cons for the various items of software i ave installed and Mail no longer recognises my email accounts, so all my emails and mail box folders are gone. I have only ad the computedata inured do I still have my data on my old computer system but all of the correspondence I have made during the last two months has apparently been lost and I will now gave to find the time to reconfigure everything - not what you want when you are the midd f doing end of year accounts!
I spent hours on the phone to Apple but they are as flummoxed as I am - has this happened to anyone else and if so does anyone know a cause or cure as it would appear Apple are as much in the dark about this as I am.
I would appreciate anyone's help or suggestions re this

Wayne, your response that DU had problems repairing
the disk. I wondering if you have run into a disk
problem. My G5 at work had a problem reading the
application support folder in my library folder. The
finder would have problems and take forever and
finally had to backup the drive and reformat and
reinstall. I hope your not having the same problems.
Do you have any other disk utilities that you can
try to use on your MBP. Let us know what the genius
says.
I postponed my appointment until today -- to give myself time to back up everything. I'm going to try connecting the MBP to my G5 as a Firewire disk and a run a recovery program to see what I can get back. I've pretty well settled on it being a disk issue, unfortunately. I'll let you guys know.
Thanks.

ACLs suddenly appeared on all user HDs

Xserve 2.26GHz (4 cores), 12G RAM, fiber channel attached Promise 12T RAID (User Home Directories), OS X.6.8
Late in the afternoon yesterday, a custom ACL: Everyone, Deny, appeared everywhere on the user share points. No admin was in any way using the server or Server Admin. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be happening. Nothing in any of the logs that I have gone through to this point show anything strange happening at or around the time that it happened. The console message: "com.apple.AppleFileServer [196] MDSChannelPeerCreate: (os/kern) invalid argument" appears nearly every 30 seconds, however.
I am no fan of ACLs and removed all ACLs on the RAID shortly after the build in August.
Has anyone seen this or anything like it? Does anyone know of a possible cause or prevention?
Thanks

I am now removing the mystriously appearing ACLs once again. It could possibly be that they are applied to the HDs of users who are logged in when AFP (AFS) hiccoughs.

Everyone Deny Custom permissions being randomly applied

What are the correct User Home folder permissions within Server Manager?
As I understand it you need _guest group Read Only in the ACL, with username Read Write, Staff Read Only, Everyone No Access.
Is that correct? And if so, why does the Everyone Deny Custom ACL permission keep getting randomly applied to the subfolders within the Home folders (but not the Home Folders themselves, or the Users folder). It seems to result in users not being able to access their own desktops or anythign within the Home Folder once logged in (but lets them log in).
It was all working fine yesterday, and nothing has been changed since then, yet all of a sudden this extra Deny permission is propagated everywhere.
Any thoughts?

It turns out that Everyone Deny is a standard permission set that is added by OS X once the user logs on. Thinking about it, it makes sense - deny everyone with the exception of the user.
Answered my own question, lol. Well done me.

Systeme Preference Corruption for All Users!

In one of my user account, I can't get the scroll bars to show!!!
I want in preference-general and select ''Always'' under Show Scroll Bars, but I can't see them in Safari, Mail...
When I close Preference, my ''Always'' selection is gone and it return to '' Automatically based on input device''
Also, issue with Screen Saver. I can select any Apple default screen saver. My iMac always play my iPhoto Library.
I'm suspecting Systeme Preference Corruption in all my users.
In previous post, Frank recommended to boot from recovery disk, go to terminal, rset paasword window and slect ''Reset Home Folder Permissions and ACLs''
This is what I did, exept, it was running after 24 hrs of waiting and I decide to quit. It did the same with all users...
Do you have a solution to this issue?
NOTE: Lions was reinstalled and HD erase. Repair Disk Permission done, Safe boot done.
What do I got left?

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Delete user preferences

How do you delete user's preferences in aperture?
I'm suddenly having problems previewing any of my multimedia files in Aperture 3. It's not the library because I have created a new library and the problem remains. If I log in as a new user all is normal.
So anyone knows how to delete the user preferences?
I tried deleting playlists but no luck there
Thank you

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter ~/Library/Preferences/ as the path, and move everything inside which contains Aperture in its name to the desktop.

Hi Arti,
In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

Set Preferences for all users

I need to be able to set QT preferences that are persistent to all users of a particular computer.
For example, I need to set the video to Safe Mode, but that setting only gets saved to the currently logged in user. Safe Mode would not be enabled for a user logging in with a different account.
This is on a Windows XP SP3 machine with the latest version of QT.

C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime cpl is the file for the QT control panel.
With XP pro open the Folder Options control panel and click on the View tab. Uncheck> Use simple file sharing [Recommended] this will give the computer a Security tab. While in Folder Options you probably should put a check\dot in> Show hidden files and folders, and uncheck> Hide extensions for known file types and maybe uncheck> Hide protected opersting system file Recommended, to be sure QuickTime cpl shows up.
Right click on QuickTime cpl and click on the Security tab. This should give you the ability to work with permissions for user accounts
