GPUpdate /force in Task Sequence as current logged on user

Hi,
I am currently trying to "upgrade" around 800 installations of Microsoft Office Standard 2010 to Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus. To do this, I'll have to:
1: Install Office 2010 ProPlus
2: Uninstall Office 2010 Standard
3: Repair Office 2010 ProPlus
Due to these steps, I've decided to make a task sequence to do the magic.
So far, so good, the "upgrade" is installing, and the MAP toolkit reports are showing the correct results from my test lab.
During the repair of Office 2010 ProPlus, the Office applications cannot
run, so I've created a task to copy a custom group policy to %systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy to deny the affected users to start the applications.
After applying the group policies, I manually run a gpupdate /force on my test computer. The applications are not starting. Also - so far so good.
Ok, so here is my challenge:
Since the Task Sequence is running in context of the SYSTEM account, the applied group policy will not refresh the GPO's of the current logged on user. Meaning; during the installation / repair of Office 2010, the user can open all the applications regardless
of the applied GPO's, and I'd very much like to avoid that. The TS will fail otherwise. Yes, I know I can perform a restart to apply the policies, but I'd like to avoid that as well.
Any idea how can I solve this?

I think you're making it very complex for yourself. I think that the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit would be very benificial for a situation like this. For more information have a look here:

My Tasks View in my custom task list fails to display the tasks assigned to me (that is the currently logged in user)

Hi
I am new to sharepoint 2010.
I created a custom task list, where I have many tasks assigned to users (I had tasks assigned to me as well). I created a view as "My tasks "and having a filter as Assigned To is equal to [Me]. When I do that my view fails to show the
tasks assigned to me. This happens same with the Sharepoints 'My Tasks' view as well. I tested by creating some test tasks under my name and when I selected 'My Tasks' view no tasks are getting displayed.
Please help.
Thanks,
Gokulkumar.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the tasks assigned the current logged in user.
In my environment, if I used the System Account, My Task view didn’t display any tasks.
However , if I used other users except the System Account, My Task view could display current user tasks correctly.
I recommend to use other accounts except System Account to log in site. Then everything will work well.
Thank you for your understanding.

Checking to see if current logged in user is delegated by user on a task

Hello all.
I am looking to produce a report that will be run from a users home page (and thus can't take input at run time). It is to show the status of all tasks and appointments.
The tricky bit is that I need it only to show tasks where the currently logged in user is the user who last delegated the task. I can make this work for the "owner" but not "delegated by".
As a fall back position I might be able to get away with it looking to check if the current logged in user is the same as the "created by" user, as activities will only rarely be reassigned on.
Any help appreciated.
Bob.

Hi,
I am writing in to see if there is any update regarding this issue.

Run Command Line in Task Sequence as current user

Hi guys,
So i have package that is running fine by itself as administrator. It creates folder in %USERPROFILE% if it doesn't exist. However when i put the package in task sequence it doesn't run properly since the TS is executed as System account.
Can you advise how i can run the package as the current logged on user with elevated rights in Task Sequence :)

Well when i run package as standalone with %userprofile% variable in the command it runs as the current user. If i use it in task sequence i get the system profile instead. So instead of task sequence i am using one package with multiple programs to run
one after the other.
Does this make more sence?

Current logged-in user in workflow-task

Hi,
I'm working on an approval task where I've got some problems in determining the items an aprovee may approve.
The structure is as followed:
A user requests something that his manager and the manager's manager have to approve sequentially. The manager and the manager's manager should only be able to approve requests of users that have a direct connection to them (regarding business units).
What I am now searching for is a variable oder method to determine the current logged-in user (MSKEY or Unique ID) in the worklow system so that I can create a filter for approvees (SQL statement) to filter out all not direct linked users.
I hope somebody can help me.
Regards,
Andreas Dietrich

Andreas,
Good question. You need to have some sort of "Managed by" Attribute. This attribute does exist in most LDAP directories and HCM packages, however there is NO guarantee that these attribues are populated. The other possible thing to do is setup a relationship as follows:
All members of the Sales Team are in the SALES
The Sales Manager can be identified with a role of SALES MGR
The Sales VP can be identified with the role SALES VP
In the workflow, use an approval task and write a query that would reflect the fact that the SALES MGR can approve requests from SALES
Use the Access control tab and set it up a filter sot that SALES MGR can execute on behlaf of SALES and so on.
Hope this helps,
Matt

Force a Task Sequence to Re-Run with advertisement set to not Re-Run

Hi there,
Is it possible to force a task sequence to re-run when the advertisement is set to not re-run? Even when deleting the advertisement and recreating a new advertisement (which forces a new ID creation), somewhere in the workstation (be it WMI and/or registry)
it knows that the task sequence (due to the same Package ID) has already run.
This guide is partially handy
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2009/11/06/sccm-forcing-a-task-sequence-to-rerun.aspx
However, he does not mention how to do so with the advertisement set to not rerun - only 'always rerun program'
Thanks, Amiel

Hi
You can re-run TS by following 3 ways
If you have installed Configuration Manager ToolKit then there is an option called "SCCM ConfigMgr Tools" by right clicking on a collection which would give you an option "ReRun Advertisements". Through this, you can re-run TS.
I have the toolkit installed however the Program rerun behavior is set to Never rerun advertised program, so when I choose
'rerun advertisement' through SCCM I receive 'Unable to set RerunBehaviour. Program will not rerun'.
So back to my original question, if the Program rerun behaviour is set to 'Never rerun advertised program' NOT 'Always rerun program' (as explained in the link I provided) - is it at all possible to Force a rerun through WMI or registry?
*Update - this is not a PXE Task Sequence either.

OIM11gr2 - How to get currently logged in user details using oim api

You can get the logged in user name using the below java code:
ADFContext adfCtx = ADFContext.getCurrent();
SecurityContext secCntx = adfCtx.getSecurityContext();
String user = secCntx.getUserPrincipal().getName();

Login to Jabber Client (Windows/Mac) with current logged in user account.

We are deploying Jabber Client for Windows and will eventually be deploying for Macintosh. I have no problem building the thinapp deployment package for the Jabber client. However, when the thinapp is ran, it always shows the account that was used to initially login to the client and setup the server connection.
Is there a way for the client to use the current logged in user in the sign in field? I am trying to automate or SSO the process of logging into Jabber.
Any and all ideas, tips, and/or tricks are greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Wes

This is nothing to do with the TC. This is your user issues on the Mac.
I would do a major fix on the computer.. copy your user files to another location.. create a new administrator account.. login with the new admin account and delete the old one. Delete all the files associated with that account, so you are effectively starting with a clean Mac.
I have just sold off a couple of computers and that is how I prepared it for the next person.. it seemed to work easily and removed all my stuff from the computer whilst still giving them full admin access.
Please I am far from expert in doing this kind of stuff in OSX so just look up deleting original user accounts in whatever OS you run.

How to get current logged-in user name in data access driver or in universe

In universe, to get the current log in user is via @Variable('BOUSER').
Right now, I need to be able to get the user name in the data access driver. I am writing a customized data access driver because we need to patch some where clause on the the query generated by the universe based on the logged-in user info. I only think of using end_sql parameter or adding an universe level filter to patch the @Variable('BOUSER') to the query, which would not work if user want to use customized query.
Can anyone tell me how to get currentBO user name from connection server ? or how @Variable('BOUSER') is translated into the logged-in user name in the universe?

I do not know your EJB Service. But you should pass the credentials of the current logged on portal user to your service. That's not by default I think.
I had a similar problem with CAF developed webservices. I had to turn on permission checks in my web service and passed the credentials via logon ticket.

How to get the name of currently logged in user in the network

Hi all,
I want to know if there's a way to get the name of the currently logged in user in the network.
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','OS_USER') won't work for me because our users do not loggin in portal.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Brett

Hello, I had the same problem. Here is a smaller version to find the Group of the current User.
The VI get the members of a Group and match it with the Username.
Note :
If the User belongs to multiple Groups the the VI returns only the 1st Groupname
If the User belongs to no Group then the VI returns "unknown Group"
The VI is written with LabVIEW 2010 and TestStand 4.2.1

Current logged in user in PCM

Hi,
Is there anyway I can access the current logged in user details in Oracle PCM? We're trying to create a custom report that would show details per user. And I'd like to make it generic rather than have to create one per user. Any advices/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Chandini

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
if not in the database, is this information stored in the session somewhere within PCM? And would we be able to access it, more importantly? It should be stored somewhere, especially if PCM allows you to customize the dashboard etc for the currently logged in user.
If there is no way, then we'll have to create one report per user which is so not a good option.
Thank YOu,
Chandini

Currently Logged in User

Dear Experts
i would like to know that how can we get the currently logged in user through query or some other option, as i want to generate different document series for every single user.
Secondly, if i have a party which is my customer as well as my vendor, how i can perform netting so as to get the recievables and payables for the particular party.

Hi,
One way to get current logged in user list is through the XML file on the licensing server. Otherwise, you can get current user by
Select T0.U_Name From dbo.OUSR T0 Where T0.UserID = $[USER\].
What is your B1 version and PL? It may not be the same for 2005 or 2007 to handle those BP with both types.
Thanks,
Gordon

Need query to determine current logged in user

Because I see no way in sccm 2012 to determine if someone is currently logged into a domain joined computer. Does anyone have a query or know of a way to get the current logged in user of a computer? I am surprised that SCCM does not show that information
when looking at the particular device. I did find a powershell query that I use that tells me the last logged in user but it gives me no indication if the user is currently logged in or if it was a week ago.
Thank you.

This PowerShell script queries a remote machine to obtain the current logged on user. It's available on the Repository (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/d46b1f3b-36a4-4a56-951b-e37815a2df0c).
