HOW DO I COPY A WINDOWS 7 PROFILE SO I CAN USE ITS SETTINGS FOR ANOTHER USER?

I want to copy an ex employee's profile in Windows 7 (we are on a domain by the way). I want to copy the ex-user's profile and replace the new user's profile
so when the new user logs in, they will see the previous user's settings like calendar.
Is this possible?

Excellent information, However, I think the OP said that they wanted to copy a specific users settings. Personally, if the settings only need to be applied once, I would just rename the user profile and change the password and tada the settings are identical.
Seeing that the user hive of the registry contains numerous references to the original folder, your method might create some interesting phenomena. Example:
- Original profile folder: C:\Users\LRenwick
- Renamed profile folder (following your recipe): C:\Users\JDoe
- Data stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\GDIPlus: C:\Users\LRenwick\AppData\Local
Renaming the profile folder will not change any of these references in the registry.
Good point, didn't even think of that.

Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

Reseting KM List Layout Profile for another user

Hello,
how can an administration reset layout profile personalization settings for another user.
Some users in our system have done the following:
KM Resource->Details->Settings->Presentation->Tab:Settings for You->Change Layout Profile
This creates some problems with our custom layout which is not used because of the user's personalization settings.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

How to change settings for all users?

Hi All,
In cPro we have User Settings button. On clicking that we get a Tabstrip where you will find "User" tab.
my question is: How can we change the default settings for all users e.g setting the checkbox "Scheduling only manually" to true ?
Best Regards,
Arti.

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 the same General settings for all users

Hi Experts,
How can i set the same general settings for all users e.g. marking the checkbox "Display header" to true for all users? General settings are possible under User Settings Button.
Regards,
Arti.

Hi Arti!
You can default user settings in a PFCG role, in the "personalization" tab.
If you have a PFCG role that is common to all your users, you can set the default values here.
However it does not prevent them to change these settings later, except if you modify the "user settings" fields properties in cProjects application.

How to configure default parental settings for all users (10.7)?

Hello,
I've made a silent installation of iTunes using MSI files and it works well.
I need to enable parental controls and configure it. Users must be preventing of changing these settings.
At the end of the iTunes installation I automatically created registry keys :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls]
"AdminFlags"=dword:001b7ac5
"AdminMoviesLimit"=dword:000000c8
"AdminTVShowsLimit"=dword:000001f4
"AdminRatingSystemID"=dword:0000000b
"AdminGamesLimit"=dword:0000012c
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 it is the procedure to set default parental settings for all users and to lock these settings.
When iTunes is first launched, parental settings are not set nor locked.
I use iTunes 64 bits on Windows 7 64 bits.
Where is the mistake?
Thanks in advance.

Win7 and Reader X - default settings for ALL users/profiles

I have a custom browser/app that opens PDF's within the app which can sometimes cause issues. I found that if I set Reader X to not open in the browser (Edit>Preferences>Internet - uncheck "Display PDF in Browser") that this does resolve most issues. My problem...when changed this only affects the current user/profile that's logged in. Potentially there can be dozens of users on these laptops. The other setting is when opening a PDF, I get the warning about Protected Mode not being able to be used due to the current configuration. I can select "Always open with Protected Mode disabled" and I no longer get the message; but again, current user/profile only.
Is there a way to set these settings for ALL users/profiles? Running Win7 (32bit) with Reader X.

I do not know why you experience this; what exactly happens when a non-admin users attempts to highlight something?
You are talking about highlighting in the same document?

OS X Server 4.0.3 Profile Manager Settings for Mobile Users problems

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with Server 4.0.3
We are using Profile Manager to control Settings for Mobile Users, and give homeSync to the users. Our problem is that the exclude / Skip items (Items matching any of the following will not sync" This setting is not working an example. I have put this folder to Skip Items ~/Downloads but the home Sync still Syncing items in the Downloads folder.
I have this problem on all the 3 users/machines on that server. Every client is using os x 10.10.1 og 10.10.2 I have check that the profile from the server is on the client.
Has any a solution to that?
Regards
Brian

I have no solution but have experienced failing sync settings (quite often) in both 10.6 Server and 10.9 + Server 3 (upgraded from 10.6 Server) in the same way as you described, it syncs too much. We have given up on synched home folders and will cut them and use other backup methods since we’re not so dependant on switching between different devices. Our users usually have one computer, one iPhone, one iPad and stay with those until it’s time to exchange them.
