  • Looking for Help with Active Directory Script to Remove a User from msExchDelegateListLink

    I'm struggling to put together an Active Directory Powershell script that will remove a specific user from the msExchDelegateListLink.
    It looks like Set-AdUser would do the trick. I would want to remove a user in the format of
    {CN=Wood\, Sandy,OU=Networking,OU=IT,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com}
    Has anyone succeeded in doing this before?

    I use this:
    $user = '<user name>'
    $userDN = Get-ADUser $user | select -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName
    $delegates = Get-ADUser $user -Properties msExchDelegateListBL |
    select -ExpandProperty msExchDelegateListBL
    foreach ($delegate in $delegates)
    Set-ADUser $delegate -Remove @{msExchDelegateListLink = "$UserDN"}

  • I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

    I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

    You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad.  That delete button will work on those.
    Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing.  When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad.   The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
    Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto.  While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side.  You can select which pad photos you want to import.  Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

  • Remove hidden users

    i used the "dscacheutil -q user" command to list the hidden user accounts on my machine.  one of them...
    name: _pencomm
    password: ********
    uid: 216
    gid: 216
    dir: /var/empty
    shell: /bin/bash
    gecos: Livescribe Pen Communication User
    was created when i installed livescribe on my machine.  i've since removed livescribe, but this hidden user account remains.
    how do i get rid of it?!?
    thanks.

    This command should delete the user:
    sudo dscl . delete /Users/ _pencomm

  • A SOLUTION for those who want to organise their TV SHOWS properly!

    Hi folks;
    I posted this in "Using iTunes for Windows" as well.
    Finally found a simple, and yes, EASY way to get your self-burned TV shows (from your DVD collection) into iTunes WITH the proper info(ie: season, show, title, description, network, etc...)
    A simple program called "TV TAGGER".
    Basically, it's a GUI for Atomic Parsley so you don't have to learn another language to do this stuff. It's got all the spaces for you to fill in the show info you want.
    It only works for TV SHOWS though...
    Here's the link:
    http://69.117.40.60:3000/atomicgui/
    Basically, all you have to do is open TVTagger, go to 'file' and open all the episodes for the show you want to classify and fill in the blanks for each episode. Once you're done, either hit 'apply' under 'tab' OR, (to make it faster), hit 'apply all' under 'file'. It will make a new copy of the TV Show in the same folder as the original with a slightly different title (adds some stuff). Delete the original and you've got TV Shows with the proper tags.
    Then open iTunes, remove all the TV Shows from it (NOT deleting the original files) and re-open the TV Shows. This time, the shows will be classified in the TV SHOWS tab and will show the season and all that jazz.
    I know, it sounds bigger than I meant it to, but it's really easy...
    Good luck!

    you could ask your school for premissions to see
    everyones grades, or for premissions to hack the
    system... if those are granted, then ok, do it. but if
    not then:

    Thanks VasKoL for this link, it was a fun little diversion. I was able to complete all of the operational levels (it appears that the last several levels are not in service...).

    Well she is being dificult at the momen... hehe.
    3.70 ghz @ 370 mhz frequency with just 1.63 volts vcore is beyond all posibilities. Such speed would require a minimum of 1.65 volts, not less, to be stable. Temperatures, or how they are, indicate the CPU could run up to 1.7 volts with out any problems, its a shame the motherboard doesn't deliver that voltage.
    Could a BIOS update change this??? I am not going to run at this speed all the time... but I want to be able to; is volt mod the only posibility?
    Like Jack Nicholson has been quoted in some movie - "Women, ya can't live with 'em and ya can't kill 'em!"
    Anyways... I don't know man. I'd be wary of a volt mod myself these days, maybe I'll go for it right before next "upgrade cycle" - when it won't matter if I bungle the job with my rudimentary soldering skills.
    I wonder what Gary (aka - The Uber Clocker, TheSaucier) is running his rig at these days? He'd probably know. Come to think of it, I haven't "seen" him prowling around hereabouts lately... Hope he hasn't blown himself up or ran afoul of any landslides.
    Or maybe he's attained sufficent CPU frequencies to really "Go where no one has gone before"!    More likely he's "jumped ship" & is attaining OC Nirvana with the next "hot" brand of mobo - whatever that is.

    This is what you do.
    Open Mediasource 5 Player.
    Select "Digital In"
    Select "Wav, Multi-channels"
    Press "Record"
    What ever you play will record, and save it as .wav files

  • Help: do i really want an Apple TV or a Mac Mini?

    Hi,
    I have an iMac and Airport Extreme base station upstairs in the den. Downstairs in the rec room I have a 46" LCD HDTV.
    I'd like three things.
    1. I'd like to rent movies from iTMS (can't in Canada); and buy/rent American TV shows from iTMS (can't in Canada)
    2. I'd like to be able to watch video files in the rec room that are on my iMac. (Currently I burn them to a DVD and watch them on my DIVX-capable DVD player, but the image quality ain't great.)
    3. I'd like to be able to browse the web from my rec room
    Trying to decide if I want an Apple TV or something else (like a Mac Mini). Here's my thinking:
    Apple TV, PROs: awesome interface, HDMI out, can stream video files from my iMac or a hard drive on my Airport Extreme base station.
    Apple TV, CONs: no movie rentals in Canada yet, no American TV shows in iTunes store in Canada yet, have to convert DIVX files to Apple TV compatible format, cannot browse the web with it
    Mac Mini, PROs: can use Front Row to watch video files, can use Safari to browse the web in my rec room
    Mac Mini, CONs: more expensive, no HDTV and 5.1 audio out
    So my questions are:
    Q1. is there any chance that Apple TV will provide me with access to the Safari web browser any time soon?
    Q2. is the video output on a Mac Mini to my 46" LCD good enough; or is it crap compared to the HDMI out on Apple TV?
    Q3. will iTunes store sell America TV shows in Canada soon?
    Q4. will iTunes store rent movies in Canada soon?
    Q5. will Apple TV support DIVX files soon?
    Q6. if I buy an Apple TV will I regret getting the 40Gig version?
    Q7. if I buy an Apple TV will I regret it because there's going to be a new PVR version of Apple TV next year?
    ANY HELP OR OPINIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANKS,

    Here are my stabs at answers
    1) Probably not. This can be done but you'd have to hack it which isn't suggested.
    2) It's the same output. The only difference between HDMI and DVI is that HDMI carries audio as well. A mini outputting at 1920*1080 will look as good as an ATV outputting over HDMI.
    3 + 4) Who knows. My guess - unlikely.
    5) Not likely. You'll need to pick up something such as Visual Hub to convert files to ATV format. On the other hand, a mini can play these files already.
    6) That depends on how often your computer is on. In my case I own the 40 and don't mind it a bit - my mac mini is always on so it can stream anything from my mini to my Apple TV over my network. Streaming movies takes about five seconds to get started but after that I've had no trouble.
    7) That's a possibility given that they've submitted patents for an idea such as that - but remember many patents never turn into anything.
    Basically I think the mini vs. Apple TV comes down to $$$ and how badly you want to rent HD movies. A mini (via Front Row) can do anything an Apple TV can do plus a whole lot more (play many more formats, higher resolutions, etc.). The only thing it can't do is rent HD movies. I would have sprung for another mini if I could have afforded it.

  • How do i remove a user from mac OS X Mavericks ??

    i bought a new Macbook Pro retina display week ago and i wanna give my old one to my sister but i want to leave tha applications to tak the benefits from it, what is the easiest way to do it without reinstalling the the software again.

    If you purchased the applications from the App Store, they are on your AppleID and she will now be able to update them. It is probably better to reinstall the otiginal version of OS X.

  • A Few Quick Tips For Those Who Are New To Fios Quantum and the New Quantum Update

    Most of those who have quantum received the new update early this morning (8/12/14)
    There are a lot of people that are new to fios who never had anything prior to quantum so I thought I'd make this post to help.
    Those who had the older boxes prior to quantum should already know about all of this.
    The new update now reflects what the older stb/dr's have and have had for awhile now. There are now more menu settings you will want to go through.
    The ad banner guide at the bottom can be disabled. Go to menu > Notifications > Guide Banner > set to disable
    The banner will still be there, but will show Verizon rather then ads.
    The home screen can be turned off. There is an option to turn it off within the home screen or you can go to menu > Notifications > Promotions > set to disable
    The led on the boxes have been changed. If you want to change it go to menu > System > Media Server Settings > LED Brightness.
    The Auto Power Off option is set to 4 hours by default. If you don't want the box to turn off automatically you will want to disable this. Menu > System > Media Server Settings > Auto Power Off > set to none
    There is now the option to change the guides banners times outs. Menu > Settings > System > Television > Info Bar Time Out (also Channel Bar Timeout)
    Some on other forums mentioned the video formats have been changed so its a good idea to check the option out to see if it reflects what you want. Menu > Settings > Audio & Video > Video Settings > Video Format
    The aspect # button now works so any SD channels that are boxed can now be stretched using the # button. 
    I'm happy to see this option back.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the info regarding the latest update. I like some of the new/improved options, however I am highly disappointed that the update discontinued the reminder option. I would think that setting a program reminder is a highly used feature and many will be unhappy now that it is gone. I know I surely am!
