How do I use the maintenance service to upgrade PCs without admin rights?

Our users do not have admin rights on their systems so FireFox is WAY out of date. I read about the Maintenance Service in the wiki and hoped it might allow FireFox to update itself without admin rights. I installed v21 and FireFox does not update itself so I am not sure what to make of things. In fact, it does not even seem to try since click in on Help, About shows "Updates available at http://www.firefox.com"
I have seen some postings indicating others have experienced similar issues with not being able to update as "users", but no solution. I really do NOT want to require our folks use Chrome, which works without any users given its design. Suggestions?

The maintenance service can only be installed by someone that has administrator permissions (you get an UAC alert), so you can only use this service for updating in the background if someone with administrator permissions has installed this service (maintenanceservice_installer.exe).

  • How can I use the update service

    Hello experts,
    could you please explain me how to use the update service from a business object in the VC. I have created a object which contains following attributes:
    - key(ID)
    - created by(UserID)
    - creted at(Datetime)
    - modifiedAt(Datetime)
    - modifiedBy(UsedID)
    - argument(string)                 Kardinalität: 1...1
    I have developed an application service which returns the whole entries of the table.
    Now I want to select the row and update the attribute argument.
    (For example the value is 24, and now I want to change it to 25. )
    But if I test the service UPDATE in the Service Browser it cames always the error message that a value in the mandatory field argument is missing.
    Any ideas?????? I am using the NWDS SP1.
    Many thanks!!!
    Regards Marco

    Hi Marco,
    In CAF you can do it by first using the update method to retrieve the BO instance and set the new value.

  • How can i use the web services

    i have a web service ,but what is need that can i use the web services?
    is only then oc4j,or anything?

    You need to write a client that will access the Web service and invoke it.
    You can write the client in Java for example - and JDeveloper provides wizards for this.
    There is a sample in the JDeveloper Reviewer guide here:

  • Installing and using Palm Desktop on a Win7 PC without admin rights

    Hi,
    I've been using the Palm Desktop on all of my PC's for the past 15 years. I use a TX for daily replication of updates between my Work PC and Home PC. In addition, I use the DejaOffice solution for replication to an iPod Touch and an iPad Mini.
    Last week my work PC was upgraded to Win7 and I lost my admin privileges on it. I can't install the Palm Desktop any longer. 
    Does anyone have an idea how I could get Palm Desktop to work and replicate on  a Win7 machine wihout admin privileges or whether there is any equivalent solution (Cloud, SAAS) where I could access Palm Desktop on my work PC?
    Thanks,
    Marcus

    Hi PalmForever, Welcome to the HP Support Community.
    AFAIK, you have to have admin piviledges to install Palm Desktop.  The common "work computer" routine was to beg and plead for temporary rights just to install, then they can be revoked back to user.
    I am a State employee here in CA, and I can hear the laughter from the IT dept. if I asked for this.  Hopefully your guys are more lenient...

  • How do I use the Verizon Service & Protection app to locate my phone if it gets lost?

    The Verizon Support & Protection app (VZ Protect) is installed on my phone and is supposed to help me if my phone is lost or stolen by allowing me to find it on a map, lock it, erase my data from it, etc.  But I found it nearly impossible to figure out what I should do in the event that actually did get lost or stolen.
    I logged into my My Verizon account from my computer (which is probably what I would do if I lost my phone), but unfortunately there isn't anything on the site to help a person who has actually lost their phone or had it stolen to quickly and easily locate it.  Most of the links I found were only promoting Verizon's services and the app, but nothing on how to use it.
    I tried searching for things I might type if I had actually lost my phone (like, "missing phone", "stolen phone", "find lost phone").  I had to go into the "How to Use Guide: Verizon Support & Protection" page, which I was only able to find on the  Verizon Support & Protection FAQs  page), in order to find a link that told me I had to go to the Verizon Support & Protection App website  to use this service.
    There really should be something more obvious right on the My Verizon site.

  • How do I use the Web Services API to query orders?

    The help doc states, "you can retrieve details for purchases including products purchased, payments received, and their status." The only additional info is at the link to eCommerce-Related Web Service, which does not include any information about retrieving "products purchased, payments received, and their status."

  • HELP! Acrobat 9 - How to get rid of updater notification for all users without admin rights

    I just bought Acrobat Pro 9 w/ volume licensing because Adobe said this would fix a problem we are having. Every morning we have users that login and get a box that says that do not have sufficient rights to update Adobe. I need this gone. Obviously I can't give them admin rights. We are running on 5 terminal servers running 2003 server. I just need a hack or something I don't really care.

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
    generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account.

  • How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    My flex project works fine using the below but when I upload my flash file to the server I doesn't work, all the relative paths and files are the same execpt the remote one is a linux server.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <services-config>
        <services>
            <service id="amfphp-flashremoting-service"
                class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"

        </channel-definition>
        </channels>
    </services-config>
    I think the problem  is the line
            <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
    but I'm not sure how to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
    The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
    Hi Paul,
    In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    IF
    services-config.xml
    have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
    -context-root
    and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
    Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
    for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    have been specified durring compilation.
    I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf  about service confogiration,
    1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml  parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
    or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

  • How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

    How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

    To see what reports are running, take a look at the execution log views that are available in the database.  Which views that are available are dependent on your version of SSRS.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159110.aspx
    To see which application is using SSRS is a little more difficult.  You can turn HTTP logging on, which will give you an idea of where connections are coming from, so you can see IP addresses.  You can also look at the execution log view to see
    user accounts.  So, depending on your environment and use of service accounts, this could be easy, or difficult.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630443.aspx
    If all else fails you can look for clues in the SSRS logs.  Good luck...

  • How To use the Task Service to update  a task's outCome

    Hello EveryBody,
    I started with SOA suite 11g two months ago. I am trying all the possibilities to convaince my bosses of this technology.
    My problem is how to use the task service to update an outcome. I have already succeeded to create a client of the task query service.
    Thank you

    You can use Task Service API's to update any properties of a task:
    In your case, to update the outcome of the task, you can use the following API:
    Task updateTaskOutcome(IWorkflowContext context,
    java.lang.String taskId,
    java.lang.String outcome)
    throws StaleObjectException,
    WorkflowException
    For more details, look into the following links:

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
