How to edit plists for a group in workgroup manager

hi I am an It technician in a School which has been windows based
Over the summer the school upgraded to a 95% mac network we still have a small windows network as one database would not work on Mac osx server
authenication and user accounts are also provided from the windows server's and also we are using a citrix soution to access windows apps from the macs
140 imacs have been rolled out and we have 2 mac servers with deployment studio apple remote desktop and workgroup manager which was set up with groups and access rights for staff and pupils.(i was not involved in initial setup)
Anyway I am starting to get my head round the mac side of the network but we are having issues where pupils are saving data to the local profiles when they log onto the macs and not the network shares that are allocated to their profile when they log on which means that when they log onto another mac their data is not there i have been asked if its possible to remove all local save area's from the finder and favorites pane's and only leave the pupils allocated network share, desktop and downloads as save locations is there a way the finder and favorites can be edited?
I am assuming that i edit a plist possibly and then replaced the edited one into workgroup manager
any help to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated
regards
Lee

Right have found the apple.com finder plist which of the options would i set to false to only allow the the shares as mentioned above to be visible and remove the other save locations
regards

  • How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in Veristand 2011?

    How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in veristand 2011?
    We are using Veristand 2011.When we run any sequence in stimulus profle editor,we get test results in form of ATML file.
    We want to customise the template for this test result generation as per our requirement.
    For example:
    Test case No.: Description of test case.
    Objectives: Explanation of objectives.
    Result: Passed/ Failed.
    Graph: If any.
    Please suggest how to do this.

    You cant really change too much in the report, you can customize TRML.xsl which is created every time in the Test Results\UUT 1 folder and that would give you some flexibility on what is shown. I dont know what a xsl is actually able to do in terms of composing data from multiple files (if at all possible) but it definitely allows you to change the visual format of the existing xml data.
    Otherwise I modified the xsl to customize the look of the xml report when opened in a browser to have less clutter and some coloring on the Pass/Fail but, the reports are XML files anyway so it's easy to extract data out of them and you can probably write your own report creation tool to compose the report in whatever format you like.

  • How to create Rfc for EP system in Solution manager

    Dear experts,
    I am doing ChaRM configuration for my EP system ( java only).
    I also configured CTS+ successfully but we want to integrate this with Chram in solman.
    I have done all configuration according to standard doc for ChaRM.
    But when creating project from solar_admin it is giving "   NO RFC for DEP system"
    so please suggest me how to create RFC for java system in Solution manager.
    thanks in advance

    Hello,
    You need to setup an ABAP communication client and system, that's done through the TMS settings:
    For source system:
    - CTC                                              1
    - CTS_SYSTEM_TYPE                          JAVA  (others for a MDM system)
    - NON_ABAP_SYSTEM                          1
    - COMMUNICATION_SYSTEM:              (SAPSID of the ABAP communication system (e.g. the domain controller))
    - NON_ABAP_WBO_CLIENT                    (Client of the ABAP stack on which the Transport Organizer Web UI (CTS_BROWSER) is activated and will run.)
    - WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY                 TAGGED
    - WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY                 MANUAL
    For quality and production Java system (target systems):
    - CTC                                              1
    - CTS_SYSTEM_TYPE                          JAVA (others for a MDM system)
    - NON_ABAP_SYSTEM                         1
    - COMMUNICATION_SYSTEM:                 (SAPSID of the ABAP communication system (e.g. the domain controller))
    - DEPLOY_WEB_SERVICE                       CTSDEPLOY
    - DEPLOY_DATA_SHARE:
    When this is done correctly, you will see the fields ABAP communication system and client populated in SMSY.
    When ChaRM needs to operate on the non ABAP systems, it will take the RFCs for the communication system and client.

  • How come no .plist for GB in prefs?

    Hi
    How come there's no .plist for GB in the prefs?

    The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application.  If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see a broken GUIs or other strange behaviour.
    You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
    Perhaps you did look in the wrong place.
    in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
    In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
    If you want to remove the preferences, do this:
    Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Preferences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
    Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
    Why are you looking for the preferences? Do you need to fix something?

  • CSCth95017 - Configurable parameter on how callingparty is displayed for hunt groups.

    Hello all,
    The "fixed-in" versions for this bug are listed below;
    Fixed in:                          (5)
    9.0(0.98000.74),9.0(0.98000.21),8.6(4.98000.21)
    8.6(2.21023.1),1.9(9.98000.16)
    But the bug is related to firmware and the "fixed-in" versions look like CUCM versions;
    Symptom:
    As of phone load 9.x and higher, calls to a hunt pilot show the following format for the calling party on the ringing phone.
    From 'Calling Party Name' for 'hunt pilot DN'
    i.e.  From John Doe for XXXX
    The previous format was
    From 'Calling Party Name' ('Calling Party Number')
    i.e.  From John Doe (XXX-XXX-XXXX)
    Need a configurable parameter to change the format to the previous format if the customer desires.
    Conditions:
    Occurs on phone loads 9.0(x) and above.
    Workaround:
    Downgrade to 8.4.x
    Can anyone clarify the "fixed-in" versions for this bug and where the versions are available for download.
    Cheers!

    "Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back" - Springsteen

    Hi Rob,  The original documentation highlighted this as a phone issue. You have a good eye to catch this. The ultimate resolution was committed on the server side. I updated the bug Release-note to include more information about the fix. You will see that in Bug Toolking and Bug Search Tool in 24-48 hours.  Looks like it was necessary to change the information CUCM was sending out in order for the phones to leverage that information. Here is what I added to the bug: New Service Parameter :  "Display Hunt Pilot Name or DN for Hunt Group Calls When Alerting"  Default Value : True ? Default behavior will be new behavior from 8.x . For customers who want the previous behavior of  7.x  will have to set this parameter to false after upgrade.   Call Processing Fix from SCCP and SIP Side :   -       For Hunt Pilot calls, CUCM will not send Hunt Pilot URI to in outgoing INVITE when this service parameter is false but internally CUCM still treats this call as Hunt pilot call so that we do not break other features. -       For Hunt Pilot calls, CUCM will send the HP URI to phone when this SP is true.   For the versions above: 9.0(0.98000.74) - this is an internal nightly  build (.98xxx.). this *may* get it included in 9.0(1) 9.0(0.98000.21) - this is an internal nightly  build (.98xxx.). this *may* get it included in 9.0(1) 8.6(4.98000.21) - this is an internal nightly  build (.98xxx.). this *may* get it included in 8.6(5) 8.6(2.21023.1) - this gets it fixed in 8.6(2) engineering special branch commonly referred to as es23. TAC can provide this to you. This *may* get it included in the next 8.6.2su that gets posted to Cisco.com. 1.9(9.98000.16) - this appears to be a typo.  Regards, Wes

  • Relationship btwn Virtual Host Services for Groups AND WorkGroup manager??

    Can someone please explain the relationship between Virtual Host Services (as specified in the Sites section of Server Admin) AND "Enable the following services for this group on ... and the options"?
    And where does one go to "create wikis on this site" when one is give the authority to do it in Server Admin > Sites > Services for Groups (Allow the following to create wikis on this site)?*
    Finally, why do all my groups seem to show up on all my virtual hosts, even though they are only enabled on a particular site?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance. Hopefully any answers will help others with their efforts to understand this set-up.
    Cheers,
    Ashley.
    * I'm assuming they mean actually create new wikis rather than just add pages to the current one.

    Thanks Angus, I see that error too.
    I understand that Virtual Sites are web-related Apache settings. So, I guess the "Services for Groups" functionality there-in (Sites > Web Services) is just to indicate that this virtual site can have wikis, calendars, blogs etc.
    I also understand what a Group is but I am confused as to how they relate to wikis (especially when the config item (Sites > Web Services again) says "allow the following to create wikis (plural) on this site" - my emphasis).
    Is it saying that from all the users/groups only the following users/groups can turn on a wiki which will run on this virtual site? For me it sounded like a user/grous could create multiple wikis. So I would like to know if wikis are one-to-one with users/groups?
    Cheers,
    Ashley.

  • How to you "publish" Bonjour Shared printers using Workgroup Manager?

    Dear Friends,
    Hello. We have just spend considerable time setting up Mac OS X 10.6.4 server to host some printers to our Mac clients (previously we had used a Windows print server but it was too slow and inflexible). We have the printers we need set-up and shared out as Bonjour Shared printers because that sends out all of the duplex setting we need. I have tried to "publish" these using Workgroup Manager and they do not show up on the list. How do you "publish" these printers using WGM? NOT: We can't just let people select "nearby" printers because we want to set a default and use kerberos security.

    Eric T Gadsby wrote:
    Anthony,
    Thank you for you help. The procedure you outline is what we have attempted to do. We add the Bonjour-shared printers to a client and then open Work Group Manager on the same computer but when you go to the "Printing" pane of "Preferences" the printers do not show under "Available Printers", neither do USB printers.
    Hope this clarifies our problem. We would like to use Work Group Manager as advertised but it doesn't seem to be working for us.
    Welcome to my world…
    This 'bug' has existed for several major versions of Mac OS X Server (10.6, 10.5, and maybe 10.4). I did report it more than once to Apple as an official bug but they don't seem to 'get it' despite my best efforts.
    You can do the following
    Add a printer directly to a computer running WGM,
    Then use WGM to 'push' the printer out to clients,
    The model of the printer will then also be pushed out to clients so they automatically select the correct driver but not the correct paper tray/duplex/etc. settings.
    You can do the following
    Add a Mac OS X Printer Server queue to the computer running WGM (which must not be the same computer acting as the Mac OS X Printer Server) if you do this via the Bonjour advertisement of the queue then it will not get the model, or any settings from the print server.
    You can then push this queue out to clients via WGM
    You cannot do the following
    Add a Mac OS X Printer Server queue to the computer running WGM (which must not be the same computer acting as the Mac OS X Printer Server) if you do this via IPP, then the WGM machine will get the model automatically, but not any paper tray/duplex settings.
    However this queue cannot then be seen in WGM and therefore cannot be pushed out to clients.
    Apparently doing custom XML, would allow also pushing out printer settings, but this is so far from 'the Macintosh Way' that only a masochist would do it.
    This area is one of the few where the Mac is significantly worse than Windows, it is an area that Microsoft (mostly) sorted literally decades ago. Not only in the Windows world can you push the printer model, and the printer settings, but you can even if needed push the entire printer driver out to the (Windows) clients.

  • Nested AD User Groups in Workgroup Manager not working in Mavericks

    The setup is the traditional Golden Triangle, so Active Directory for users and groups, Open Directory for Managed Preferences. Both Apple clients and server are running 10.9.0
    While I can successfully manage the Mac's via OD computer groups, the OD user groups with nested AD groups no longer appear to work. If I nest an AD user it works fine, but not the AD users group.
    This is a new AD and new OD, no migrations. This is a setup I've done countless times over the years, but since Mavericks has been introduced, I can no longer make this work.
    Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex Price

    Hello
    I have been having the same problem, when adding an AD Group to an OD group the users in the AD group are not managed, but if i add the user to the OD group it works fine, (with about 5000 active users this is not an option) this has been a problem with 10.9 and has not been fixed with 10.9.1, i assume we need a update to Workgroup manager?
    Maverick server is useless at the moment, cant upgrade the clients to Maverick if i cant manage them, are Apple just tring to make my job more difficult than it needs to be, i was happy that they provided Workgroup Manager for Mavericks because Profile Manager is simple not an option, but it would be good if it worked properly, its not a small problem so you would think apple would make it a priority.

  • How to edit members of a group in Address Book?

    I need to add and delete members of a group in my Address Book. There seems to be no Edit function, though, and although I managed to type in a new name, when I opened the group, the new name had disappeared (and the old, deleted names reappeared).
    Underlying that problem - and the real problem that drives me to write you - is that there is apparently no HELP function that would contain lot of How-To-Do-Directions. Having that would improve the program significantly.

  • How to create disks for disk group ?

    Hello Experts
    I am RHEL 5 with Oracle 10g, I am configuring ASM. What will be steps to create disks that can be used in disk group and I am using normal redundancy so how many disk groups are needed(min.)

    Sunil,
    Well to be honest, so far I have not tested ASM over RHEL/OEL 5. I demonstrate ASM over 10g using DD command , creating virtual devices than binding them as a raw decices. So far, this technique is very successful, though I have not tested the same over RHEL5.
    The article quoted uses asmlib driver. Its good but not mandatory to work with asm, at least for the learning purpose. So I wont' recommend to do the labor. What you can do is the following,
    # mkdir /asmdisks
    # chown oracle:dba /asmdisks
    # su - oracle
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/asmdisks/disk1 bs=1k count= 4000
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/asmdisks/disk2 bs=1k count=4000
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/asmdisks/disk3 bs=1k count=4000
    $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/asmdisks/disk4 bs=1k count=4000
    # losetup /dev/loop1 /asmdisks/disk1
    # losetup /dev/loop2 /asmdisks/disk2
    # losetup /dev/loop3 /asmdisks/disk3
    # losetup /dev/loop4 /asmdisks/disk4
    # raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/loop1
    # raw /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/loop2
    # raw /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/loop3
    # raw /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/loop4
    # chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw1
    # chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw2
    # chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw3
    # chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw4
    # chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw1
    # chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw2
    # chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw3
    # chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw4You should be able to see these logical devices with the DBCA. I have not tested the same over RHEL5 so far so no guarantee that it would work over there or not and I don't have a RHL5 box with me at the moment to test the same too. But over OEL4, RHEL4 this works dandy. Do give it a try and post the feedback.

  • How to edit classpath for Domain Admin Server?

    Hi!
    Please, explain me how can I edit the classpath settings for Domain Admin Server of Sun java Application Server 8.2?
    I need to remove some classpath made by application installer in order to make the application work.
    It is said in documentation that I have to login to DAS first, but I can't see how can I make it through Server's web-interface :(

    Hi Rengasamy,
    If you want to set the CLASSPATH for all the managed Servers available in your Domain then "$DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh" has an Environment variable with name "PRE_CLASSPATH" which is usually preferred for Patches or any JAR which we want to override from the WebLogic's existing classpath.
    But if you don;t want to override WebLogic's default CLASSPATH rather include your Jars in it then please add your JAR filenem including absolute path inside the "POST_CLASSPATH" variable inside "$DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh"
    Apart from this another option will be putting your Jars inside the "$DOMAIN_HOME/lib" directory because The jars located in this directory will be picked up and added dynamically to the end of the server classpath at server startup. The jars will be ordered lexically in the classpath. The domain library directory is one mechanism that can be used for adding application libraries to the server classpath. It is possible to override the $DOMAIN_DIR/lib directory using the -Dweblogic.ext.dirs system property during startup. This property specifies a list of directories to pick up jars from and dynamically append to the end of the server classpath using java.io.File.pathSeparator as the delimiter between path entries.
    If you are starting your Managed Servers using NodeManager then please refer to the following Article.:
    Topic: Nodemanager Based ManagedServers setting MEM_ARGS

  • How to do aggregation for each group of records?

    I have a Deals and Targets tables.  The targets are records used in a deal.  A deal can have more than one target, but each target can only have one deal.  I want to sum the targets that pertain to a deal.  I know how to use the SUM()
    method, but it applies to every row in a column which is what I don't want.
    Using the example below, this aggregation on the Targets' amount column would total 5 for Deal 1 and 8 for Deal 2. 
    How should this be done in T-SQL?

     I know how to use the SUM() method, but it applies to every row in a column which is what I don't want.
    Hi,
    Do you mean it sum all the rows by using SUM function? In your scenario, Jingyang's query works perfectly. Besides, you can use Group By clause, please refer to the sample query below.
    SELECT DealID, SUM(Amount) AS TotalAmount FROM Targets GROUP BY DealID
