Firfox deployment and users profile on windows domain

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/989437 /questions/989437]''
hello,
I have crate a template of Window7 under wmvare and deployed 200 virtuals machines windows 7. I have a proble with firfox config when a domain's user use firefox for the first time, he needs import favorite, choose the home, and ... desactive automatic update (I ) .
In my template (master) I have already configure the parameters, thoose I want and desactive the automatic update. My question is how can I configure theses parametrs for all users in windows?
thanks you for your Help

OK...we've been able to reproduce the problem... A normal user simply has to encrypt a folder on his home folder located on a share on one of our file servers (eg :
\\server\schoolID$\user) and it will create the incomplete profile (see screenshot below - Right click on a folder - Properties - General tab - Advanced and select the last option) :
Can't explain why it behaves like this but at least, we know why this happens...

  • Firefox 35.0 update loses Windows desktop and user profile

    Recently updated Adobe Reader and Flash player and Firefox to 35.0 on Windows 8.1 Dell laptop. This resulted in the administrator user profile failing. Windows Event Log has:
    Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
    Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.
    Windows was unable to load the registry. This problem is often caused by insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.

    Non-administrator user is ok. Reboots did not help. I did system restore and all was well. Then I only updated Firefox to 35.0 and got same problem. Restoring again fixed the issue.
    Windows updates were last installed 22-Dec-14 and there are currently 9 updates waiting to be installed. Adobe is also notifying tht updates are available for Reader & Flash

    This is appears to be a Windows problem.
    Yes Firefox may not be working but it would appear to be because of a Windows problem.

    I do not think installing or upgrading Firefox could be expected to produce such an error, but if it did I would have expected this forum, and the input feedback to have had a sudden spike in complaints.
    I am not noticing anything on this forum. The input feedback no longer has the useful pictorial graphics, but interactive results are here if you wish to look through them

    Note people are probably more likely to complain than compliment. it is not at all unusual to have more negative than positive reports.
    You could try asking on a Windows forum. Try doing a web search if you do not already have some favourite forum. Or have a go with this one

  • How to use CSACS 3.3 to authenticate users from multiple windows domain?

    Can Cisco Secure ACS 3.3 be used to authenticate users from another Windows domain that is not a child nor a trusted domain???
    hello, here is my scenario:
    ACS 3.3 was installed on a member server on domain1. I need to authenticate and ultimately populate the users into ACS from another domain. The service already works perfect on just domain1, but now I need to authenticate users from another domain.
    And adding those domains as trusted domains in domain1 is not an option.
    Is Generic LDAP my only other option? Any config guides that you guys know with regard to doing this?
    Any input is much appreciated.

    Hi Betcy,
    I am not familiar with sharepoint solutions, but as you mentioned about windows credentials I believe it refers to kerberos tokens. On this case you can take advantage of SPNego authentication.
    You can find more details on following SAP note:
    #[1488409|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1488409] - New SPNego Implementation
    I hope it helps.

  • User profile in WINDOWS 8.1, 8, 7 redirected to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile

    Hi all,
    When you are logging into Windows 8.1,8 or 7 using your user credential you will finaly end up as system service account or at least your profile will be recognized this way. This mean that system is now looking in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile
    for DESKTOP, DOCUMENTS etc.
    I faced this probem few times on diffrent PCs. This problem has been out there for some time and peapole are tring to copy their profile to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile. Sound no good for me.
    Another way is to create new profile but it takes a lot of time and the problem sometimes comes back
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
    I manage to find out that the issue has something to do with the change of the registry at
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
    S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXX is your user SID. The to REG_DWORD that are changed
    FLAGS
    REFCOUNT
    After you change values to FLAGS 1 and REFCOUNT 0 you have to log out. Now log in and you profile should be back again.
    I hope that this will save you some time and that microsoft will finaly fix whatever cause this issue.

    Hi Grzegorz,

    App-V packages are published as RemoteApps and User Profile Disks are used. 
    Similar to the problem posted

    Some packages are running without an error (e.g. Acrobat Reader) and some other (e.g. Notepad++) could not launch.
    The result is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the Program.

    The User Profile Service is responding on all 4 servers in the farm and User Profile Sync's are running on time with no issues.

  • Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

    Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
    We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
    The settings which I am concerned:
    1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
    2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
    3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
    4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement). 
    The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
    FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
    Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

    Hi,
    >>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
    This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
    drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
    However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
    Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles

  • How To Properly Delete a User Profile on Windows 7 in a Domain environment

    I have not been able to find an answer that matches the issue I'm facing. I had recently setup a laptop for a user and soon after, he was experiencing issues that I thought might be profile related. So, I did what always worked for me on prior versions of
    Windows without any fuss or side affects.
    Logged in under the local Administrator account, I went into: System Properties>User Profiles>Settings and removed the user profile from their. When I do that, I get an error message:
    Profile Error
    Profile not deleted completely. Error - A required privilege is not held by the client
    Ok, no problem I think. I just need to delete the user's profile directory under the users folder right? So I do this and figure when I try to log in again as the user that a new profile will be created. However, this is not what happens exactly. I login
    with the user credentials and it logs in successfully. However, I get a pop saying:
    You have been logged on with a temporary profile
    You cannot access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log off. To fix this, log off and try logging on later.
    Please see the event log for details or contact your system administrator
    So my question is; why did the profile not delete completely after both deleting the user profile under System Properties and after deleting the actual profile directory? What did I miss and what is the proper method of deleting a user profile completely
    without running into these other issues?

    Hi Womprat,
    According to your description, I understand that you want to delete user profile but display an error in Windows 7.
    Please use other user (with administrator privileges) login this computer, then open Properties for Computer--->Advanced system setting--->Settings for User Profiles, then select the profile you want to delete.
    More details about Delete a user account, please refer to:

  • Advice for Creating a Custom Default User Profile in Windows Enterprise 8/8.1 Preview

    Just after some advice on the Best way to create a custom Default User Profile for our Windows 8 Enterprise Image.
    We are also looking at the Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview so advice on creating a Default User profile for this would also be appreciated.
    My Requirements are listed below
    -Pinned Web sites that open in Windows 8 App style IE
    -Default Windows 8 pre-installed Apps
    -The Microsoft Lync Windows 8 Client from the App Store *I understand this would be tricky, not fussed though if it cant be done*
    -Customised Start screen layout
    I have tried the Copy Profile tag in the Unattend.xml and syspreped the machine, this did not work.
    I have tried using the new "Start Screen Layout" Group Policy object, this also did not work
    The Closest I can get was to setup a user profile, Backup the Default User profile, Rename the User I worked on to "Default", Clean up the temp folder, then navigate through the user registry and replaced any absolute profile paths with the %USERPROFILE%
    variable. This worked in terms of setting the layout of the start screen, but the Lync App was not present, and Windows 8 apps, eg Video, Music and IE, would crash when attempting to open them.
    I know I am doing something wrong, so any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thankyou

    Still not getting the results that I want, to recap I am trying to do the following.
    Create a Windows 8.1 Enterprise Standard Operating Environment (SOE) Image for laptop devices at our school. These devices will be in the Students hands 24/7 and will be joined to our Windows 2012 based domain.
    I am trying to create a custom Default user profile for the image so that when a student logs onto the Laptop for the first time they get a start screen that we have created.
    The start screen consists of Pre-installed Modern Apps, a modern app created by our Software team that is side-loaded, Office 2013 Applications, and most importantly Tiles for Websites such as our Learning Management System and Intranet Portal.
    Now to the issues
    I boot the target system into Audit mode, and setup the start screen accordingly. For the Websites,
    I open the websites in the IE11 Modern app and use the built in control to pin the site to the start screen. Everything goes and looks as expected.
    I then run sysprep with a custom unattend.xml with copyprofile inside it. Again everything runs as expected.
    Now when I create a new user on the system the custom start screen appears however the websites that were pinned are no longer on the start screen. BUT when I manually open the Modern IE11 app, navigate to the website and pin the site, The Tile now appears
    on the start screen in the location I put it.
    <Rant>
    Now this puts us in a situation where we can no longer deliver a Standard Operating environment for not just our managed laptops but also our labs where a student just wants to logon and get to work.
    Why as a Desktop and System Administrator, who manages a fleet of 300+ Desktops and 1000+ Laptops do I not have the full power to customise things they way I want them.
    Yes I am aware of the new Group Policy setting for deploying Start screen configurations, Doesn't work when Web sites are pinned
    Yes I am aware of AppsFolderLayout.bin, Doesn't work for Pinned sites.
    Do the links above to Microsoft TechNet articles explaining how to customise Start Screens help, No they do not.
    Finally I am aware that I can just create a shortcut to the websites and pin those, the issue is that this does not utilise the new Live Tile code that was introduced with IE11 and we plan to use these Tiles as another notification system for our staff and
    students.
    I will continue to work on this, if I manage to find a solution myself I will post the process, however if anyone in the community, or from Microsoft for that matter, has a proven solution to pinning websites to the default user profiles start screen, please
    post it.
    </Rant>
    Thankyou

  • Need a Script for Removing User Profiles in Windows 7

    I am in need of a script that will allow me to remotely delete user profiles from multiple computers. I am an IT Admin over around 15-20 computers that are publicly used by many different people each day, and at least once a month we have to go into each
    computer individually..my computer, properties, profiles and delete them one by one. This is growing very tedious due to manpower and the number of computers we have to do this on. 
    I have absolutely zero knowledge in the scripting department so could somebody point me in the right direction on this? I would like to have a script that i can just run once a month or so and say "delete all profiles from computers x y and z that are
    over a few months old." Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

    Hello all
    I've been given the tedious task of replacing a server with a new one using a different domain, then rejoining all of the desktops to the new domain.
    There won't be any kind of migration, just rejoining desktops to new domain.
    Has anyone got any recommendations on what would be the best way to transfer the desktops user profiles from the old domain profile to the new domain profile?
    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Some normal users profile on Windows Server 2003 ???

    Hello, I manage a Windows 2003 Server in a school board of 30 000+ students. Each of these students have their home folder located on a share on one of our file servers (eg :
    \\server\schoolID$\user) which is on the E:\ drive of the server)
    For some reason, while browsing in C:\Documents and Settings on that server, we noticed that 40 of these users had an incomplete profile only containing these 2 folders and 2 files...
    We have reviewed the security groups on the server and we are 100% sure that they don't have access in any way to that server (besides their home folder...). We also tried to connect using mstsc and they can't even log in remotely. We are wondering what
    can cause the creation of some of these users profiles for these specific users? (Since 2011, there were only 40 profiles created out of 30 000+ students so it is not something that started recently or that is growing or touching all of our users...)
    Any idea of what could be the cause of these mysterious incomplete student profiles on that server ?
    Thanks for the help!

    OK...we've been able to reproduce the problem... A normal user simply has to encrypt a folder on his home folder located on a share on one of our file servers (eg :
    \\server\schoolID$\user) and it will create the incomplete profile (see screenshot below - Right click on a folder - Properties - General tab - Advanced and select the last option) :
    Can't explain why it behaves like this but at least, we know why this happens...

  • AD mobile account stores Mac user profile in Windows home directory

    My Windows Server 2003 AD accounts have roaming profiles and user home directories stored in different locations on Windows Server 2003 servers. How do I prevent my MacOS tiger clients from copying the local user profiles for AD mobile accounts to the respective remote home directories?
    This unwanted behavior is quite similar to using Windows 9x clients in similar AD environment.

    I do need to automount the network home directory but do not desire to have it sync with the local home directoy. I disabled the "create mobile account at login" option and enabled "force local home directory on startup disk" and "use unc path from active directory ..." and these appear to have resolved the problem. Unfortunately the network home directory no longer automounts, nor do network accounts show up at the logon prompt (strangely enough, they can be configured to autologin.)
