How do you configure Firefox for all users on a machine?

I want to
1. Take my existing set-up of Firefox
a. with all bookmarks
b. with all my chosen options
c. with my default start-up home page
d. bypass all the initial Firefox startup screen and "make this your default screen"
2. Have it be the base set-up for all users that log into a machine on our domain.
Is there a config file? Where do I place this config file so when all open their firefox it takes the above settings. I am creating a base image using VMware and will want this set-up so when a user log in with their logon credentials and open Firefox, it already has the above mentioned settings in place.

See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

Importing Certificates for all users on a machine

How do I import certificates for all users on a machine in Windows/OSX.
Since firefox does not use the system store and uses its own, we have been able to use a utility called certutil to add certificate to a user's firefox db on Linux. So if the user logs into any Linux system on our network he will have those certs in his trusted root cert authority for firefox. Unfortunately this does not carry over to firefox on osx as I am not sure why since it should carry over if the user's home is network. Then we have Windows users who basically have local accounts and we are looking for some solution to have it set up for all users without having to manually import for each user. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

Hi all
Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files. I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common. The
same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain? We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
nothing changes.
Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
Thanks much for your help!

Hi,
You could use Software Restriction Policies (SRP’s) or Applocker(supported on Windows server 2008 R2/Windows 7 only) to restrict the running
of the application for specific user.

SNR License Issue. How Can I Disable SNR for all Users?

Hi,
I Have an issue with SNR on CUCM 10.5 and with assignement of license type
I have a cluster with 400 users.
200 users use ip phone 3905 and should be use an Essential License.
When system check for assignement of license type , itassign a Basic License instead of an Essential License, because it see that users have SNR Enabled.
All users in my system have SNR enabled, and I can not disable it. All my user have Enable Mobility unchecked, and all my phone have Device Mobility Off, but system however see SNR enable.
How can i disable SNR for all users? This is a feature that client don't need.
I dont' have a sufficent number of licenses for support all 3905 in Basic License.
thanks for help.
Andrea

Well actually, Mobile Identity wouldn't apply to a 3905 unless those phones had another line on a Dual-Mode device like an iPhone or Android phone. So unless you have either of those in your system you can scratch that idea. Someone else may chime in here and try to help a bit more as RD/RDP are the main SNR culprits.

Fast user switching menu - how do I have icons for all users?

I'm setting up a new computer for three users. I have enabled the fast user switching menu. I set the menu to 'Icon'. However, it only shows the icon for myself, the admin. For the other two accounts, when they log in it remains as their (rather long) real names. The same thing happens if I select 'Account Name': it only shows the 'Account Name' for myself. When I switch to the other users, it is still their real name.

How to set permissions like "For all users" with Sandbox

Hello!
Hello!
I am using Sandbox for Mac OS X Leopard and I've got a question to you:
How can I set up a folder to behave like the For all users folder in the users directory?
Greetings

Well, sandbox sets ACL's not posix permissions. The sticky bit is a posix permission. Sand box will allow you to do something similar to the sticky bit using ACL's, but the exact duplication of the sticky bit is not possible, but something just as useful or more useful can be easily implemented.
To set the sticky bit you will need an app called FileXaminer or the Terminal.app command line.
to set the sticky bit simply put "1" in front of the the permissions number when you run chmod on the command line, here is an example:
chmod 1775 /users/data/shared #assigns permissions 775 and the sticky bit#
chmod 775 /users/data/shared #assigns permissions 775 without the sticky bit#
note: note actual use of the chmod and chown commands will, in most cases require the sudo (super user do) command to be used with them. example:
sudo chmod 1775 /users/data/shared #assigns temporary super user priviledge#
The way I set my shared user's directories with ACL's is this:
first I created folder /users/data -permissions=777 (everyone).
I had three users so I created folders for each in /users/data:
/users/data/user1 #this is just example-substitute real user name#
/users/data/user2
/users/data/user3 #etc,etc,#
set the posix permission on each user folder 700 (owner:read,write,execute)
set the owner and group on each one accordingly:
chown user1:staff /users/data/user1 #substitute real user name#
chown user2:staff /users/data/user2
chown user3:staff /users/data/user3 #(etc,etc)#
Now each user has their own data folder they can read and write to at will (when they are logged in to their user account).
They can safely create and maintain their data and no one can delete it.
Since these are shared data accounts. other users will need to read the data, this is where the ACL's come in.
You will need to use Sandbox to place ACL's for each allowed user, on each of the user directories:
0: user:joe inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
1: user:mary inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
2: user:sue inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
Basically with the above ACL's the only thing the allowed user can't do is delete files. They can copy files, they can add files, etc. This behavior is somewhat similar to what can be accomplished with the sticky bit, but much more controlled and structured. That is the beauty of using ACL's.
Using SandBox you can taylor the permissions as you see fit for each every user. You can set permissions for an administrator to delete files as well. You can take away or add permissions for each user as you see fit. let your imagination be your guide.
ACL's weren't meant to replace posix permissions, but rather to allow administrators to fine tune user permissions.

How do I set Premiere preferences for all users - University lab machine?

I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user?
The most important one is the preferences - Playback in order to set up the second monitor.

New self signed certificate, how to mark as trusted for all users on clients

We have a new 10.8 server that we are currently using for iChat/Messages service. We have created a self signed certificate to encrypt the traffic to the Messages service since we have the service accessible for internet and phone users. We use network accounts and users need to log in on several different machines when in the office.
Can anyone suggest how to tell a client machine to trust the certificate for all users?
Currently, each user is asked to trust the certificate on each client they log into.
I have imported the server certificate into the client's system keychain in Kechain Access and asked it to trust the certificate for all items manually. This does not appear to allow all users to trust the certificate since subsequent users who have not yet trusted the certificate on the test client are still asked to confirm trust. When opening the iChat.app the users are still propmpted to verify the certificate which now indicates that it is trusted for all users.

Resolved.
- Drag certificate from verification dialog.
- Import into System Keychain
- Select certificate in System Keychain and select "i" button at bottom of window.
- Set all items to always trust.

How to provision an app for all users with all dependencies?

I have created an app package with VS that I want to provision for all users of a target system using
DISM /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /FolderPath:".\%package%" /SkipLicense
The path contains the content of the *Test folders VS creates when creating store packages. However DISM expects a ".main" file in this folder to work (0xc1570102).
What's the correct way to provision an app with all its dependency packages? (Using the PackagePath option?)

After some further testing in Profile Manager I found that adding the applescript to items that open at logon seems to work. No need for the plist, unless of course I decide not to use Profile Manager at all.

How to install an extension for "all users"

I want to install a quantity of extensions for ALL users of FF on a PC running XP. There used to be a way of doing this but I have forgotten the method.
I know to save the .xpi file for each extension, and that there is some folder in a common area where these files are placed so that each User gets them installed the next time they run FF

How to Enable Auto-Complete for All users on Terminal Server

Hello,
I have 4 Microsoft 2003 Terminal Servers, and I want to enable Auto-Complete for all users, and I am unable to find a way to do this. I have tried creating a custom install of Adobe Reader, and installing that, but it isn't working. Ideas anyone?
Thanks in advanced

Acrobat is not permitted to run as a server process.
Licenses are assigned to individual users, each of whom must have their own serialized copy.
