How to disable Office 2010 Upgrade Policy prompts for users in a Remote Desktop environment

I have deployed Office 2010 to our Terminal Server.
When users login to their Remote Desktops and start Office apps they are greeted with making choices for Upgrade Policies:
Recommended
Only Updates
Don't Make Any Changes
How can I centrally manage this policy and disable this prompt for users?

Hi,
From the description, what you mentioned is the Opt-in or First things first prompt when you launch Office program for the first time.
If you want to disable the prompt, we can use Office Customization Tool or Group Policy to achieve this goal. For more information, please refer to the following blog:

Hope this helps.

HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.

How to prompt for user input in Forms

How do I prompt for user input in Forms?
I am writing a piece of code where the user may choose, by clicking either of three buttons on an alert, to have the system assign a value to a variable, to input a value or to do neither?
If the user chooses to input the value I want to update a set of database fields with the value.
I have thought about showing a view where the value may be entered into a field displayed on that view. The value will be assigned to the variable by the user clicking a command button. The question I have in this case though, is whether, after the command button is clicked, control will be passed back to the code that called the view in the first place?

Desgordon,
This can be accomplished by displaying your message to the user using an Alert. I use 3 different Alerts (Note, Caution and Stop) in my forms and they are inherited from a central source file (such as an Object Library or a Template Form) so they can be used by all of my Forms. You can set the text of the Alert using the SET_ALERT_PROPERTY() built-in and capture what button the user presses with the SHOW_ALERT() built-in. Additionally, if you need more than one button to be displayed in an alert, you use the SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY() built-in to rename the default button or to add up to a total of three buttons in the alert. Here's an example:
DECLARE
   Alert_ID       ALERT;
   v_AlertType    VARCHAR2(10) := 'CAUTION';
   v_AlertTitle     VARCHAR2(25);
   v_AlertText    VARCHAR2(150);
   n_AlertButton NUMBER;
BEGIN
   v_AlertTitle := 'Title of Alert';
   v_AlertText := 'This is message to the user.';
   /* Code leading up to the decision point. */
   alert_id := FIND_ALERT(v_AlertType);
   /* Note: I only set the Label of Button 2 because the default button 1 label is 'OK' */
   SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY(v_AlertType, ALERT_BUTTON2, LABEL, 'Cancel');
   SET_ALERT_PROPERTY(Alert_ID, v_AlertTitle, v_AlertText);
   n_AlertButton := SHOW_ALERT(Alert_ID);
/* Now I can test the value of n_AlertButton for 1 or 2 to find out what button the user selected. */
IF ( n_AlertButton = 1 ) THEN
     /* Do something, because the user selected 'OK' */
ELSE
     /* It is assumed at this point that the user selected 'CANCEL' */
     /* Stop processing any further. */
     RAISE form_trigger_error;
END IF;
END:Hope this helps.

But if you call your procedure in that button then yes 'control will be passed back to the code'...

How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password?

Hello all
How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password? I am writing a selenium job to automate cache invalidation to load test a production issue we are facing. Selenium is opening a fresh firefox session and prompting for username and password every time. I am also trying to modify my script such that it will use the same session again and not prompt for username and password. But I thought of asking this question in the group.
Your inputs will help a lot.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can set enabled property of /atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AuthenticationServlet/ to false. It will not prompt for authentication.

How to Prompt for User/Pass Running Shell Script Remotely through ARD

So I finally got my Active Directory Script working! However, I realized that I'm not the only one going to be running this script and to have my user name and password in the script itself is beyond foolish. While I know it's possible just to have whoever's running the script to manually add their username and password, I'd prefer to have prompts to make things easier for the rest of my team.
Here's my current script. I've tested it on the machine I'm connecting to Active Directory and it works fine if you run it on the machine itself in terminal. However, I'm going to be doing this on about 150 machines and the whole point of the script is to do it remotely.
#! /bin/bash
MACNAME=$(scutil --get ComputerName)
read -p "User Name: " USER
read -p "Password for $USER: " PASS
dsconfigad -add "CORP.DOMAIN.NET" \
-username $USER \
-password $PASS \
-computer $MACNAME \
-mobile disable \
-mobileconfirm disable \
-localhome enable \
-useuncpath enable \
-shell /bin/bash \
-ou OU=Macs,CN=Computers,DC=corp,DC=DOMAIN,DC=net \
-force \
-localpassword "PASSWORD" \
-groups "GROUPS"
When I run the UNIX script through ARD to a machine, I get no prompts for USER or PASS. In fact, it gives me the following error "dsconfigad: Authentication server encountered an error while attempting the requested operation. (5202)" So it's not asking for a user name and password.
Is there any way to make a shell script prompt you for a User Name and Password when you're sending commands remotely through ARD? Or is there another way to do this?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
-rks

Best solution is to create an account that is exclusive to binding machines. By doing this, you can embed the user name and password in the script. Heck, you can post it on your website. If the account is configured properly, it will only be able to create machine records in a defined container. If you are mixing Macs and PCs in your AD domain, I also recommend creating an isolated container for your Mac records. Now, the account has even less access rights as you can make it so it only has rights to the Mac container.
Otherwise, ARD does not prompt. You can play around with an expect script but the reality is that you are still embedding the credentials in the script so it really does not achieve what you want. ARD is not an interactive shell scripting tool. It is more a fire and forget.

UAC Behaviour when set to "Prompt for Consent on the Secure Desktop"

We are in the process of testing UAC on Windows 8.1. UAC is enabled for admins and the setting for "Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval mode" is set to "Prompt for consent on the secure desktop".
This results in the administrator having to go through three separate prompts in order to execute the function which required elevation.
First there is a dialog which gives the options "I want to complete this action by entering my credentials on the authentic Windows sign-in screen" or "I don't want to complete this action"
Second there is a prompt to press CTRL-ALT-DEL to enter your credentials
Third there is the prompt for consent on the secure desktop.
Is there a way I can configure UAC to not have the first two prompts?

Hi Fangzhou and thanks for the reply. The action is just to "Run as Administrator" on anything. Perhaps I should share the full set of settings I have in group policy:
User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account
Enabled
User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop
Disabled
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Prompt for consent on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated
Disabled
User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations
Enabled
User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Enabled
User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations

CR prompts for user credentials after refresh even though I'm using SSO

Hello Experts,
We have a problem with a customeru2019s project concerning Crystal Reportu2019s Single Sign On feature:
Even though weu2019re using SSO, Crystal Reports prompts for user credentials every time a refresh is performed manually in the browser.
We already checked SAP note [1214594 - How to avoid database login prompts when refreshing reports in Crystal Reports|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap%28bd1lbizjptawmq==%29/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313334333533393334%7D.do]. The note suggests using Microsoft Windows authentication (trusted connection or operating system authentication) u2013 unfortunately we cannot use this kind of authentication in our project.
Do you have any hint, idea or suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
What kind of Project are you developing? Search for Post Back in the SDK forum and Kbase system so you can keep the log on token active. Likely what is happening is the Token or connection times out after 20 minutes, which is IIS's default timeout. Using the postback method is one way of keeping the SSO connection active.
Thank you
Don

Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded

Hi there,
Please can anyone instruct me on how to set up Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded. Your help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I was redirected by a forum user off the Microsoft Community forum.

Hi RocknRollTim,
Agree with Jason. Using a script will be a better option.
Just addition, for history of RDP Connections, please open Registry Editor and follow the path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default. Please check if find MRU registry items where the name (or the IP address) of the terminal server is kept in.
Please also follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers. It contains
the list of all RDC (remote desktop client) connections that have ever been established from this computer.
When expand Server folder and select a node, you will see the UsernameHint key that show the name of the user connected by rdp.
Please back up registry items to avoid unexpected issues before any operation.
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
Thank you for responding back Justin Gu and I agree with both you and Jason Miller that a script can easily achieve this task. Thank you all for your help.
Many thanks,

ADF security - prompt for user id and password again on page forward

Hi,
I am working with ADF using JDeveloper 10.1.3 with Business Components and ADF Faces.
I have a Search page and a List page.
Both pages are based on the same view within the same application module.
The Search page is using the default Find and Execute Operations.
The Execute button has an action that navigate to the List screen.
faces-config.xml
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/jspx/search.jspx</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>

<from-outcome>find</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/jspx/search.jspx</to-view-id>
<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Security (Roles and Users) is based on the jazn-data.xml and web.xml
URL Patterns for the pages have assigned to the role.
Login Configuration is HTTP Digest Authentication

Everything is fine when running the application from JDeveloper,
but when the application is deployed to the server (OC4J),
After logging into the system, the Search page prompt for user id and password again
on click of the Execute button.
Have anyone experience this problem before?
Thanks for any help.
Jim

Hi,
does the same thing happen if you change your protected resource from:

Prompt for user profile photos

Hi,
When we try to open any page in SharePoint with intranet users' pics in it, sometimes it prompts for user name and password and that to many times not once. So if I provide the username and password then it allows me to see the profile pics in the
page otherwise shows a "x" on the picture.
I want to know why this happens for some pics only not all?

Hi ,
What do you mean intranet users' pics?
Does your MySite Host site have different FQDN from your SharePoint site?
Please check if adding MySite url in IE browser trusted sites zone could work.
If it still doesn't work, please check ULS log see if there is any related error for any clue when access the SharePoint page containing intranet users pics.
Thanks

"catching" a prompt for user input and answering it through zenity?

I'm trying to write a script (or multiple scripts) that will allow me to use command-line only applications via user defined actions in my file manager without having to open a terminal. Now I realize this basic functionality is already available, but as it stands I am unable to respond to command-line prompts for user input without opening a terminal. Is it possible to write a shell script that would act as a wrapper and allow me to use zenity (or another popup program) to respond to such queries?
For example if I used a command-line program that prompted me for a password, could I "catch" that prompt with a shell script and answer it through another program, such as zenity?
Last edited by falconheart (2011-01-16 22:37:25)

The easier way to do this is to collect the info with zenity first, then pass it on the command line. If the program insists on prompting, then you could try feeding it the info with redirection if it accepts it from stdin. For example
command < info.txt
where info.txt is a temp file created by your script which contains whatever you want entered into the prompts. This will work in some cases.
