I have admin access only at work

My IT department did something to give us Admin access to our Mac (or updates, installing software, yoiu name it) WHILE AT WORK. When I take my Mac home, I cannot update and install. I continue to get the prompt for Administrator password. I take it back to work, and I have Administrator access. How'd they do that, and how do I undo that?
I know how to wipe out an Admin password with an install disk. That's not what I want to do. I want Admin access at home as well as at work. (It is kind of silly not to allow me to update at home, or on the road, especially since I am gone form work for a month.)
Let me know,
bkabat

I would have a sit down with my IT department.

Mavericks 9.2 SSH is now admin access only

I have tried every solution out there. Only admins can access my Xserver via SSH. Why are there even two places to enable SSH in Mavericks? It's so frustrating. I have tried turning both locations on/off. Tried setting via serveradmin. Adding users to the allowed list. Rebooting. Still, any non-admin user gets "connection closed" I have users demanding SFTP be working again. Any new solutions (apart from a clean install) please post. This happened immediately after the 9.2 update. When will these stupid bugs be fixed? Where is the prefs setting file for this?

Found it. The login shell for the affected users in WGM was set to none. This was why adding users to the admin group didn't work. Making the login shell for the affected users bin/bash allowed Filezilla to connect. This was not an issue in 9.1, but for security, perhaps it should be. I don't really know why the deafult in WGM is "none" but that's the fix.

EA4500, setting 'HTTPs' admin access only, failure CCC upgrading

Got a new EA4500 yesterday, it came with traditional browser-based firmware.
Then I changed its Admin access to HTTPs only, disabled HTTP.
I downloaded CCC upgrading wizard, registered CCC account.
When I tried to upgrade to CCC firmware, it kept trying to detect and finally told 'can not detect a device to upgrade'.
When I enabled HTTP admin access and tried to upgrade CCC again, it worked.
Does somebody encounter similar issue?
If HTTP enabling is a necessary condition for CCC upgrading, shall such message be prompt at least, when the tool failed to detect applicable device?

Which group are you talking about?
I have a group for all direct access machines, You have to specify this group during the wizard.
The permission issue seems to be related to the script trying to modify group policy
I have tired with the default polices the wizard creates and also specifying 2 blank policies.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Captivate doesn't work without admin access

I work in a large organisation and don't have admin access to my machine. IT team have installed Captivate using their admin profile. But when I try to launch it as a "user", the program crashes right away. Adobe support suggested the following but it doesn't work. Has anyone found a way around the problem?
Ajit: You can do one thing, Could you ask your IT to set this application on Admin mode always for your User Account, which means they need not provide you the admin rights completely but just to this application.Ajit: you can set it by going to installed location of Adobe Captivate.exe-- Right Click-- Properties, Under Compatibility mode, set it to open in admin mode always. Under Security Tab, get your user name added and make sure it recieves Full Control over this application.

Yes you DO need to run Captivate in Administrator Mode. But not having this set up properly doesn't usually cause the app to crash immediately on startup. If anything, it usually means you crash later on when trying to do something like capture screens. Your problem may be due to something else.
One thing that often crops up is corrupted fonts causing the crash. You can search for posts on that. Another thing you may need to also investigate is whether or not your organisation is using roaming user profiles. If they are, then that could also cause your Captivate application to crash. Captivate 6 in particular suffers from an issue where the Layouts folder that contains Captivate themes is installed by default inside the user's My Documents folder and it cannot be moved from there to another location on the user's hard drive. However, if using roaming profiles, then the shifting location of this Layouts folder has been known to cause crashing.

User admin access

Hi all,
I have an issue that I'm not sure how to script in to resolve.
I have a script that runs, binds them to AD, sets an AD group as admins to the machine, which the user is part of. That works, but when they shut down and go offline, they can login with their cached credentials, but they are no longer admins to their own machines. I have to login as local admin and set the user as admin. How do I add this to the script so that the user is always admin regardless if they are off or online and I don't have to touch every machine after they have logged in to add them as admins.
Thank you in advanced!

How to install flash player on my system without having admin access

Hi Team -
I am working on my company system. I tried viewing youtube, its asking me to update the flash player and when i tried installing it shows you didnt have admin access. Since i using my company system, i dont know the password for admin. Hence pls tell any alternate to install the update without admin access.
Thank you
Ganapathy

It cannot be done. Contact your I/T personnel to have them install it. If they won't, the company doesn't allow it. You cannot do anything about that.

ISE - Restrict Full WiFi Access only to Authorized Devices

Hi All,
We have a WLC HA (Code 8.0.100.0) setup with an ISE pair (version 1.2) , and all that works fine.
Currently ISE is configured to authenticate users from AD. Our corporate SSID is setup with WPA2+AES with 802.1x PEAP authentication, so users can connect Wifi from their devices after they put in their AD credentials.
We would now want to Restrict our Internal network Access through WiFi only to Authorized Devices like company issued Laptops/Tablets etc. For all the other devices like Personal Smartphones/Tablets/Laptops users can only have Internet Access only if they are Authenticated/Authorized to do so.
For the Rest of the devices like Printers, Apple TV's etc we already have a separate SSID running on which we are doing Mac Filtering through WLC, so none of the browser less devices would be connecting to the Corporate SSID.
Assuming We have the Mac Addresses of all the company issued devices Laptops/Tablets (Most of which are Apple Devices), what is the best approach to go about this utilizing ISE.

Yes, I am evaluating MDM solutions too, but budget being a constraint I am not sure if that would be approved or not.
There is lack of free MDM solutions which can be integrated with ISE, I did found the Meraki's Systems Manager worth a shot, but I guess the free version does not integrates with ISE, unless you go for the Enterprise Version. There were a few Rumors that ISE 1.4 is coming up with inbuilt MDM.
For now I will go ahead and import the mac address database to ISE in an Identity Group called Corporate-Devices and will edit the auth profile to check for the Identity Group Along with AD.

Extended Services upgrade; lost admin access.

While using Cm 3.2.2c and upgrading to ES 2.2.3.b I have lost access to CCMAdmin/main.asp Instead of getting the standard login pop-up window, I now get a web based Administrator access window and it does not recognize my admin password. When I try other valid "users" it tells me that they do not have admin access (which they shouldn't) But I do not know why it does not recognize my admin password. TAC has had me reset the passwords in the services as well as re-installing the +COM services but this has not solved the problem. Does anyone know how to get this password reset? Oddly enough the same login/password works for BAT and Win 2k and SQLSvc (the Subscriber is getting updated) Thanks in advance.

Oops, sorry, wrong disc. group. Please see Voice Section.

No User, No Admin Access -- Clean install?

The only user on my laptop does not have admin access so i tried to run this to get admin rights:
+I lost my admin user (Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier)+
+If you are unfortunate enough to delete your only admin user, or remove his admin capability, then as long as you have another user with login capability, you can give that user admin rights as shown below. You can then re-create the original user or reinstate the admin capability using NetInfo Manager.+
+Print this post out in a mono-spaced font, and type carefully, paying attention to spaces and punctuation, since you cannot copy/paste in Single User mode.+
+Caution: in single user mode you have root privileges. Be careful! Substitute the name of 'youruser' below.+
+Boot into single user mode (Command-S) at startup which will eventually get you a shell prompt (ending in #). Then type the following:+
+fsck -fy+
+Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then continue with+
+mount -uw /+
+nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -merge /groups/admin users youruser+
+If you get a message saying "invalid path", then type these two commands first:+
+nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /groups/admin gid 80+
+nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /groups/admin passwd '*'+
+and then repeat the "nicl ... -merge" command. Then:+
reboot
+You will now be able to login as 'youruser' and have administrative privileges.+
+Membership of the 'admin' group is the only thing that distinguishes administrative users from ordinary users.+
Now the computer will boot up but NEVER comes to the desktop. I think my best option is to just clean install. however, the computer will not let me boot from a CD (nor did it before i messed up the user). Is there a way i can wipe the harddrive another way or some other way to reinstall the OS?
thanks

I ran the 10.3.9 combo as a stand alone update

OAM- "You do not have sufficient access rights" message with Master Admin

Customer has configured the OAM system to have both the primary and the secondary side for failover purposes. The back end directory server on both systems are in sync. The primary side of the systems works well as far as this issue is concerned.
On the secondary side, if you login with the MASTER administrator of the system and click 'Identity System Console' or click any of the configurations under the Configurations in the User Manager, you get the error message saying "You do not have sufficient access rights". However, if they navigate to the Access system on the same browser and access the "Access System Console", and then navigate back to the Identity system, the Master Administrative rights are granted and now have a full access to the system.
We tried following things to resolve the issue, but could not resolve it:
1) Tried deleting 'cookieencryptionkey' which is found under "obcontainerid=encryptionkey,o=oblix" and restarted both the Identity Servers.
2) Confirmed that the OAM administrator is present in cn=Web Masters,o=Oblix,<> and cn=Directory Administrators,o=Oblix,<> from the LDAP.
3) Under the apps=PSC node, checked the Advance Properties for the 'obuniquememberStr' attribute:
- Master Web Resource Admins (cn=master web resource admins, obapp=PSC, o=oblix, ...)
Made sure that the values for the 'obuniquememberStr' attribute has the correct value there.
4) Reconfigured the Secondary Identity Server.
None of the above really helped to resolve the issue.
Could anybody please help here to get rid of this issue.
-Amol

Hi Vinod,
Here is the customer's response to your above 2 questions:
1. We have 4 Directory server profiles for Identity servers; one for user data and one for configuration data for each server.
I have at least reduced them to two and used only the ones initially used by the primary identity server as our user and configuration data do not reside together. User data is consumed via OVD.
However, this does not seem to have any effect on the current behavior.
2. All components except for the access server are on 10.1.4.2 and the access server is on 10.1.4.1
Also below are the errors from the oblogs:

I checked the OVD logs but did not find any error in it. Customer also tried to unprotect the /identity and /access URLs but the issue persist.
Also I do not feel this as a bug, because this environment was working quite for few months without any such issues, also there were no changes made on the OVD/AD configurations. However, the server that hosts the OVD/AD was shut down and when it was restarted, we started experiencing this issue.

I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account. Help

Can anyone help me with this problem. ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC. I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC. I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem. I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account. Can anyone help?

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

I keep getting dialog box saying " The itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" I am the only user on this computer and only one library! how do i change access privileges please?
