How to use quota on a desktop folder for all users with File Server Resource Manager.

Hi there,
I'd like to know if there is a posibility to use variables in the path with File Server Resource Manager if you want to set the quota.
The path I'd like to use is d:\home\%username%\desktop.
Like to hear from you all if there is a solution or workaround for this one :)
Thanks for your time.
Ben.

That's a question about Automator, so I'd pop that one here

Powershell 4.0 How to use Add-Printer to add printer for all users (machine)

Is there a way I can use Powershell 4.0 Add-Printer cmdlet to add a printer for all users (machine)? I tried from an admin account but it only adds a printer for the currently logged on user.
thanks.

Adding a printer for all users requires having access to their profiles (and registry hive for user) to save the mapped printer information. Your best bet is to either use Group Policy Preferences or write a user logon script that ones when they log in and
maps the printer if not already mapped.
Group Policy Preferences Example
I wrote an article a while back that shows how to use a GPO logon script to map a printer. It doesn't use V4, but the process would be the same as far as a GPO goes.

How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

Hello All,
I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
Thanks

C:\users\All users
JS
Hi,
I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
Thank you.

How do I install a Thunderbird add-on for all users? Putting the XPI file into Extensions folder didn't work.

I'm trying to install Enigmail 1.8.2 for all users. I thought I read somewhere that you don't need to unpack the XPI file.
Whilst writing this, I did some experimenting and found a solution, but it's messy (see below). Is there an easier way?
Fresh install of Thunderbird 31.6 on Windows 7 x64. Have observed the following:
1. If I install the extension for one user via the Add-Ons GUI (from the marketplace, not from a local file), it does work. The Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions folder is empty. Folder {847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5} is created in Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions\staged\ and moved from staged to extensions when TB is restarted.
2. If I download the XPI file from Enigmail site and copy it to Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\Extensions folder, then Thunderbird's Extensions screen says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed".
3a. If I rename the xpi to zip (e.g. enigmail-1.8.2-tb+sm.xpi.zip) then I can open it and see that the contents are similar to what was created at point (1). If I unzip the contents, then Thunderbird doesn't recognise the add-on, unless I rename the folder to the GUID above (which could be found in install.rdf or chrome.manifest, once you know what you're looking for).
Presumably I could also have done a per-user install, copied the folder from the profile, removed the extension, then pasted the copy into the program folder. That would save looking up the GUID but is only a little less fiddly.
3b. After renaming the folder and restarting TB, it gives me a new tab "Install Add-on" which says "Another program on your computer would like to modify Thunderbird with the following add-on: ... Location: C:\Program Files (x86)". Once I allow the add-on, it is listed in Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions.ini.
Aside: Disabling the add-on simply removes the line from extensions.ini, so how does TB distinguish between an unapproved add-on and a disabled one? It seems to be in extensions.json.

Is Thunderbird already installed in the computers? If so, you could download the .xpi file and drag and drop it into the extensions window (after opening that) to install it in all the computers, following which you click the Install buttons when they become enabled, and you might have to restart Tbird afterwards.

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 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.

Is there an easy way to add a desktop shortcut for all users?

Looking for an easy way to add a shortcut to an app for all users.

William is correct. There are global system settings, and then there are personal user settings. Adding a shortcut to the desktop, or more commonly the Dock is a personal setting.
Unless its in some kind of mass deployment scenario where you can create a pre programed image for large amounts of computers which has it already has your app shortcut setup, its easier to just do it one user at a time.

How do I set the about:config settings for all users? iprism keeps prompting from authentication for users.

When users log on and try to open Firefox 23.0.1, users are prompted with Iprism Authentication. We made changes to the firefox about:config values "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow.-non-fqdn" and "Network.negotiate-auth.allow-non-fqdn" to true and it works, but only works on a per user basis. How can we set this up for all users?

I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

How to set environment variables in mac mavericks for all users

Can someone here tell me the file to set JAVA_HOME environment variable for all users?
Thanks!

nara999999,
the file in which to set the environment variable depends upon the login shell of each user. Presuming that every user has bash as his login shell, and that the environment variable will be needed only in interactive shells, then the file to edit will be /etc/bashrc; if the environment variable will also be needed in non-interactive shells, then /etc/profile should be edited instead (and this will also cover users with either sh or zsh as their login shell). If ksh is used as a login shell, then /etc/ksh.kshrc will need to be edited. If csh or tcsh is used as a login shell, then /etc/csh.login will need to be edited.

How do I set up a shared folder so all user accounts can view photos?

How do I set up a shared drive for iPhotos for multiple users of my iMac?

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How to Expire Large Files using File Server Resource Manager

Is there a way to expire Large Files over 2GB that have not been accessed in 2 years.
I see under the File expiration options that I can expire files that have not been Created, Modified, or Accessed for a certain amount of time.
Thanks,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,
FSRM can help report large files and also can help move old files to a folder, but I did not found a way to combine them in a single process.
Instead how about using Robocopy?
You can run robocopy /min:xxx /minlad:xxx <source> <target>.
/MIN:n :: MINimum file size - exclude files smaller than n bytes.
/MINLAD:n :: MINimum Last Access Date - exclude files used since n.
(If n < 1900 then n = n days, else n = YYYYMMDD date).

How to use Crossbow Xmesh WSN LabVIEW drivers for downstream communication with motes

Hello,
I am trying to use LabVIEW Crossbow Xmesh WSN driver for downstreaming commands but driver programs are not working.
I am interested in changing node (Iris mote with MDA300 board) update rate from LabVIEW program running on host PC .
I have used Set node update rate.vi with open stream.vi and start stream.vi in proper sequence and developed a program to change node update rate. When program is run no error is shown but node update rate is not changed.
Pl suggest what I should I do.
What is the function of WSN write VIs (WSN write Raw 1sensor1point). For what type of message this is used.
I want to actuate relay on MDA300 with mote id 2. What VIs (from driver ) I have to use and how to issue command related to it.
Incase any one can help I will be grateful
Roop

Hi Arjun,
I am sending you snap shot of VI developed to change node update rate.and also the heirarchy of drivers VIs used in the program for better understanding .
In case you can figure out why the command message send is unable to communicate with mote .
Also for downstream communication with motes the packet format used is described in Moteworks user manual from MiMSic.com
I think the developer of these drivers can help you out in solving my problem.
Thanks
Roop
