How to Hide a User?

I'm trying to create an admin user without having the account showing on the login screen.
I came across this article:
How to hide a user account in OS X - Apple Support
Which says to enter the following into the Terminal (when using Yosemite):
sudo dscl . create /Users/hiddenuser IsHidden 1
The problem is after doing this and rebooting the user account is still visible.
I'm using OS X v10.10.2, and yes I did replace the hiddenuser reference with the user's home directory name I'm trying to hide (the command completed with no errors shown)...
Anybody know how to do this, and why the article shown doesn't appear to work???

Question on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields in the MDT Wizard

MDT 2012 U1
Deploying Windows 7 via Offline Media (ISO) to MS Virtual PC's
I am looking on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields which are prepopulated in the MDT wizard via the CS.ini (Not so concerned about the Domain field as I am User Name and Password)
We do need the Computer Name and OU fields to be seen, so skipping the wizard is not a option
The client just does not want these fields to be seen by the end users, they dont want them to even know the account name used for adding the machine to the domain, of course the password is not displayed but it must not be displayed either.
But since we use the fields they must still be fuctional just not seen.
Thanks.....

You shouldn't have to edit DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml. You should only need to add "SkipAdminPassword=YES" to the CS.ini file and your authentication information.
Example:
[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=NO
SkipAdminPassword=YES
UserID=<MyUserID>
UserPassword=<MyPassword>
UserDomain=<MyDomain.com>
SkipProductKey=NO
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=NO

Nick,
SkipAdminPassword=YES is for:
You can skip the Administrator Password wizard page by using this property in the
customsettings.ini.
I am hidding the Username/Password/and domain field in the computer name Wizard pane which is read from the cs.iniDomainAdmin=xxxxx
DomainAdminPassword=xxxxx
DomainAdminDomain=xxxxxx
JoinDomain=xxxxxx

How to hide all users in a particular OU in the Global Address List.

We are running DirSync and ADFS in our O365 environment. We want to hide all students in our GAL. We know this can be done one user object at a time in ADSIeditor, but does anyone have a method or PSSscript to hide all user objects that are contained in
a particular OU? Trying to avoid a tedious manual process.

How to Hide main user's files in useraccount's finder navigation?

Ok So you're the main user of the computer.
YOu make an account for someone to use.
I made it simple finder.
with access to Safari and Text edit.
In my account i have files and folders all around the computer in the MAC HD folder and stuff, in the DOcuments folder etc.
I know i can make a Locked folder and put all those folders and files and that will hide them.
However i dont want to do that. I want to leave my files and folders where they are.
So the solution would be that Whenever the user does an OPEN or SAVE file using Text Edit or Safari, that he only gets access to the SHARED folder.
How do i do this?
How do i make it so that the user can't navigate and search around through all the finder folders when using the OPEN or SAVE features of TextEdit or Safari?

Your account has a home folder with a desktop, Documents, Library, etc. Other users cannot access those folders. This is true whether accessed through the Finder, TextEdit, Safari, whatever and also true for simple or full Finder. Anything you want to keep private should be kept within your home tree. When you create a new account, it creates a unique, separate set of folders for that user.

How to hide welcome user and logout link for only specified pages

Hi,
I have few pages in my application like forget password page, in which i don't want to show logout link on top corner and welcome message. For rest other pages its ok. If I edit the template body for doing it then in all pages the welcome user vanishes, where i need to hide it for some specific page only.
Please give some idea.
Thanks,
Chandra Bhanu

Go to Shared Components/Templates.
Find the page template that you are using and click Copy.
Go into the copy and look for &USER. and #NAVIGATION_BAR# and delete.
Go to each page that does not need the user and navigation and assign the new template.
This will get rid off the user details and the navigation bar.

How to hide remote IP address in header for roaming users

Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
Using /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/config/imta.cnf (compiled)
Hello everyone,
We have a new messaging server and have been struggling in our effort to figure out how to hide the remote IP address of users who send email from a remote location. When a roaming user sends out an email from a remote location using SMTP AUTH to authenticate, the messaging server includes the remote ISP's dynamic IP address in the header of the email, which in turn results in some recipient mail servers blocking the mail message as spam. What we want to do is have messaging server rewrite or remove the roaming user's dynamic email address so the header does not reflect a user working remotely. The net effect would be the header not reflecting any external address and the messaging appearing to have originated internally.
Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What spam software is being used that blocks these messages?
Very large organisations/ISP's use Sun Messaging Server and this is the first time I have heard of this occurring.
What we want to do is have messaging server rewrite or remove the roaming user's dynamic email address so the header does not reflect a user working remotely. The net effect would be the header not reflecting any external address and the messaging appearing to have originated internally.Removing the IP address information is going to be extremely difficult. The standards are quite clear that the Received: header should include the IP address information.
RFC 2821 (SMTP), Section 4.4 Trace Information:
   When an SMTP server receives a message for delivery or further
   processing, it MUST insert trace ("time stamp" or "Received")
   information at the beginning of the message content, as discussed in
   section 4.1.1.4.
   This line MUST be structured as follows:
   - The FROM field, which MUST be supplied in an SMTP environment,
      SHOULD contain both (1) the name of the source host as presented
      in the EHLO command and (2) an address literal containing the IP
      address of the source, determined from the TCP connection.Regards,
Shane.

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.

How to hide/show dashboards for user/groups

Hi,
Please help on how to hide/show dashboard menu/sub menu to users/groups based on their profile settings.
thanks in advance.
regards,
kumar.

Hi Jinu,
1) Do some or all of those subreports span multiple pages?
2) Do each of the Subreports start on a new page?
If yes, for both, then here's what you need to do:
1) Create a formula (@True) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= True
2) Create another formula (@False) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= False
Drag and drop the @True formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to be suppressed.
Similarly, drop the @False formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to show up.
Then, go to the Section Expert > Select Page Footer c > Click the formula button beside Suppress and use this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus;

All the lists in SharePoint inherits permission from its site. To hide a list from a user or a group what you can do is break permission inheritance at the particular list level.
1) Go to List and then click List Settings from the Ribbon.
2) Under permissions and management click Permissions for this list
3) Click Stop Inheriting Permission from the Ribbon
4) Remove User or Group that you do not want to share that list with.
