IChat doesn't display OD users for non admin account

I have a Mac Mini SL server with iChat service running. When I add an Admin account (Account with admin privilege to work group manager) it can see other accounts and groups. However, when I add a non admin account it doesn't see any user nor group!
Checking the iChat logs, I can see the non admin account logging in and being authorized:

This means that this user is not allowed to use the iChat services. In sever admin - access, you get to set who or what type of users / group, etc is allowed access to which services. Did you check that?
Unfortunately I don't see that! I'm using Server Admin 10.6.3 and when I click on the iChat service it displays three tabs only; Overview, Logs, Settings where settings has two sub tabs (General and Logging).
There isn't any option where I can define whom can or cannot access iChat service in Server Admin.
Under the Setting's General tab I have:
Host domains set to: qserv.xxx.net
I also have my SSL Certificate selected
Authentication: Any method
Enable XMPP server-to-server federation is not checked

Adobe Premiere Elements gives error for non admin account

Hi
When a New Video project is created within the applciation it gives an error of Premiere Elements has encountered an error [..\..Src\Core\Preferences.cpp-338] (seems to occur during the importquicktime section). Follwed by a Runtime Error "this application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
This works fine for local admin account but we work within a school were the the end users are not local admins and also have a redirected app data folder. I've ran Process Monitor and there were several access denied reg keys that have now all been allowed but the issue still remains.
Thanks
Jayk0

I think you will have to contact Adobe, not other users in a user to user account
My understanding is that ALL versions of Premiere... Elements and Pro... must use an Admin account to run properly

QuickTime fails to initialize for non-admin users (Error 63441)

I have installed iTunes 6.0.4 (including QuickTime 7.0.4) on my XP PC. iTunes and QuickTime work fine for the Admin users, but not for non-Admin accounts.
iTunes crashes with the generic Microsoft 'send error report' message; QuickTime gives "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # 63441".
Any help / suggestions appreciated.

Eventually fixed it!
As mentioned in numerous other posts this came down to an issue with registry keys.
Updated the permissions for HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime to give 'Full Control' to 'Everyone'.
Initially had a lot of difficulty accessing the Apple Computer, Inc. branch - kept getting 'access denied'. This turned out to be because there was no owner set for the key. Once I had made myself owner I was able to make the other changes.

Outlook Connector shared calendar lookup doesn't work for non-admins

First the version info:

Non-admin users are not able to retrieve a list of users from the GAL with Outlook Connector. I, as an admin, do get the list. Here is the the access log for a non-admin user. Note that in the RESULT, nentries is always zero.

Next, I followed the steps outlined in http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5200/gbnse?l=en&a=view&q=shared+calendar+ldap+lookup.
I set service.wcap.userprefs.ldapproxyauth = "yes"
I have the ACI entries as specified in that document.
(targetattr = "mail || uid || icsCalendar || givenName || sn || cn")
(targetfilter = (|(objectClass=icscalendaruser)(objectClass=icscalendarresource)))
(version 3.0;acl "Allow Calendar administrators to proxy - product=ics,class=admin,num=2,version=1";
allow (proxy)(groupdn = "ldap:///cn=Calendar Administrators, ou=Groups, o=cp");)
(targetattr = "mail || uid || icsCalendar || givenName || sn || cn")
(targetfilter = (|(objectClass=icscalendaruser)(objectClass=icscalendarresource)))
(version 3.0;
acl "Allow Calendar users to read and search other users - product=ics,class=admin,num=3,version=1";
allow (read,search)
(userdn = "ldap:///uid=*,ou=People,o=pcc.edu,o=cp")
The only oddity I see is that the ACI entries are not passed down to the next directory levels.
Any thoughts?
David.

I reviewed the document and I believe the VLV browsing indexes are setup and functional. I've also checked the ACI entries and they look correct. (The document doesn't mention the ACI entries for proxy authentication.) As I said, an admin user can retrieve names from the GAL, a non-admin user cannot. The only difference in the access log is the returned nentries value.

Solution: Software Update Notifications for Non-Admin-Users

This is a follow up to [that thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1642646].
Problem:
Since I'm using Mac OS X the software update notification only appears if you are logged in as an user with administrative rights. In a real multiuser environment this makes sense, because the ordinary user should not be confused with things he's not responsible for. But what about the situation with the typical single user machine, where the owner uses a non-admin account for normal work. In this case this user IS the administrator, although he's using a non-admin account. In this very common case the user should get the software update notifications as he/she can react to it. But even if "Check for updates" is selected in System Preferences, there will be no notifications. You can argue if this is a bug or not.
Solution:
I wrote a little applescript (in fact it's embedded into a launchd plist file, so you only have to care about one file), that checks once per day if there are any software updates available. If so, they are displayed in a nice looking Growl notification, if Growl is installed (highly recommended!), or in a standard system dialog. This works for any user. I'm using it for over a year now without any problems and decided to make it available to everybody. You can download it [here|http://blog.kaputtendorf.de/2009/02/22/updatecheck>.
Best regards,
Sven

good job! I also suggest you submit this to mac os x hints.

User Interface Access Customisation for non admin users

Hi,
It is understood that for non-admin users, some features of the Planning Interface is not enabled and this can be controlled by proper access permissions. But, is it possible to extend the customization to provide some additional features in the menu bar for an user?
For example, if View User wants to manage task lists. Is it possible by some sort of customization? Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create right click menus, and you can also create links on the tools page. Would any of these help you?
Here is the doc on those subjects:
Creating and Updating MenusAdministrators can create right-click menus and associate them with data forms, enabling users to click rows or columns in data forms and select menu items to:
Launch another application, URL, or business rule, with or without runtime prompts
Move to another data form
Move to Manage Approvals with a predefined scenario and version
The context of the right-click is relayed to the next action: the POV and the Page, the member the user clicked on, the members to the left (for rows), or above (for columns).
When designing data forms, use Other Options to select menus available for Data Form menu item types. As you update applications, update the appropriate menus. For example, if you delete a business rule referenced by a menu, remove it from the menu.
To create, edit, or delete menus:
Select Administration, then Manage, then Menus.
Perform one action:
To create a menu, click Create, enter the menu's name, and click OK.
To change a menu, select it and click Edit.
To delete menus, select them, click Delete, and click OK.>
Specifying Custom ToolsAdministrators can specify custom tools, or links, for users on the Tools page. Users having access to links can click links from the Tools menu to open pages in secondary browser windows.
To specify custom tools:
Select Administration, then Application, then Settings.
For Show, select Advanced Settings.
Click Go.
Select Custom Tools.
For each link:
For Name, enter the displayed link name.
For URL, enter a fully qualified URL, including the http:// prefix
For User Type, select which users can access the link.
Click Save.

Itunes hangs for non admin users

I've got itunes 10.6.3 running on 10.6.8 Macs which are joined to AD and OD for network authentication.
When starting itunes as anything other than an administrator (local or domain) itunes simply hangs - on the very first run you can Agree to the EULA but after that it hangs at the startup. Sometimes you get the authentication dialogue for our proxy server but not always.
I've checked and the proxy isn't even receiving any requests, and it works fine for an admin user. I've taken the proxy out of the users preferences and it still hangs.
So is itunes dead in the water for non admins, or do I have to resort to the Windows 95 days of making everyone an admin of the Mac?

That doesn't sound like a supported destination for Time Machine backups. See Apple's Disks that can be used with Time Machine.
You'll probably need to find someone familiar with the OpenSolaris OS.

How to allow access to winrs for non-admin user?

I have Windows Server 2012 (and Server 2008, but it is next priority) to monitor it using txwinrm. txwinrm library internally is using WinRS protocol. I have to monitor it using least privileged user, but don't know how to configure access for him.
All I managed to do - is to configure remote Powershell session for my user, but it's look like that winrs and powershell sessions have different security descriptors:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential Administrator $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential lpu1 $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:Administrator -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:lpu1 -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# Gives Winrs error: Access is denied.
Configuration for my user is following:
(Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\RootSDDL).value
# O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1141)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GWGX;;;WD)

(In each security descriptor my user is given general access to protected object).
So what security descriptor should I set to make my winrs query work for non-admin user?

Hi Bunyk,
I can not recreate the erroe you posted, and please also post the screenshoot in your convenience.
I tested with a non-domain user but has the local admin permission of the remote computer, and this worked, before running the remote cmdlet in powershell, I also configured the TrustedHosts.
In addition, the access denied could be also caused to the Protocol Filtering on the remote server, for more detailed information, please refer to this thread:
winrs error:access is denied
I hope this helps.

Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
any one with a solution or similar problem?
thanks for any help.

I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

Majority of reports missing for non admin users

I have followed the instructions here (SCCM 2012–Reporting in console for non-admins (Reporting User Role) v2) to allow non admin users the ability to view
reports in the console. So far, so good. However, when viewing the reports with the non admin user, only about 100 of the 400+ reports appear.
Am I missing something here?

The custom reporting one in the link I provided, and also modified versions of the following:
OS Deployment manager (removed rights to All driver related items (drivers and driver packages), Boot image packages (except read access), Operating system installation packages).
Application Administrator (removed Application>Approve; Distribition Point>Set Security Scope; Distribution Point Group>Set Security Scope; Global Condition>Set Security Scope)
The reports missing we care about primarily are Software ones (companies and products and files).

Automatic updates for non-admin users (again)

Hi all,
My users are logged in with non-admin accounts on Windows 7.
They know the password of an admin account.
I would like Adobe flash player to automatically remind them of updates and allow them to install those updates, if necessary by entering the password for an admin account.
Is this possible? How do I do this?
Thanks
Tom

Hi, It is the Account that must have the Privileges. Take a look at this Troubleshooting Guide. Page down to Advanced Troubleshooting.
I think that will explain what you need.
Using the automatic Flash Player notification in the Global Settings is an easy way. However it checks also for Permissions when Uninstalling/Installing.
Hope that helps.

Using mms.cfg file to enable Autoupdate for non-Admin users

I need help in getting this to work. So far it does not.
Adobe Flash for windows 17.0.0.23
Windows 7 Enterprise - 5000 systems
Users are not administrators on systems.
The Non admin user gets prompted with a screen ( we do not want any prompts)
Then the install fails because they are not an administrator.
My mms.cfg file:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
AutoUpdateInterval=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
How do I use this or any other method to have Adobe Flash update automaticly for all users including non-admins
and give no prompts?
What are the next steps. Is there an enterprise support site or method to use for mass distributions for Flash?
Please Get back to me today before 12:00 EDT 13 Apr 2015.
Gary Pearson
401-233-6898

Hi garyp81126656,
The current mms.cfg file configuration will perform either a notification update or a background update. There are a few options to update non-admin users:
Host the background update resources locally. When using the Adobe servers for background updates there is no way to disable notification updates. By hosting the background update resources locally users will never be prompted to update.
Disable updates and deploy Flash Player updates via SCUP, SMS, or Group Policy.
You can find the various deployment options are listed in Chapter 3 of the Flash Player Administrator's Guide. The Admin Guide also contains information to license Flash Player for distribution within your organization, which is a requirement for any of the deployment methods described in the Admin Guide. Additional information is available at An outline of Flash Runtime installation options

Lightroom 3 asks for serial number launching in non-admin account

The following information was provided by Carey Burgess (Adobe Employee):
Does Lightroom 3 launch and work fine in an admin account, but when you launch the application in a standard (i.e. non-admin) account it asks for a serial number?
If so, then it is likely due to a file permissions issue either in the original (admin) account or with the standard account.
(Although you need administrator access to install Lightroom, and you do need proper access permissions to your photos, you should be able to run Lightroom without issue in a standard user account.)
Lightroom 3 stores registration data (the serial number) in a file called Lightroom 3.0 Registration, which is stored by default in one of these locations:
    * Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
    * Windows 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom
- Check for the registration file in the appropriate location for your system.
If the file does not exist in that location, then ensure you are logged in with the admin account (the one where Lightroom doesn't prompt for a serial number) and check the user-specific location instead:
    * Mac OS: /Users/YOUR USER NAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
    * Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom
If the file exists in the user-specific location instead, then I would suggest that you ensure that you have quit Lightroom, and then move the registration file from the user location to the default system-wide location. Lightroom should now no longer prompt for serial number when you open it from a non-admin account.
If the registration file did (or now does) exist in the default system-wide location, but you are still being prompted to enter a serial number when opening Lightroom in a standard user account, then that account does not have sufficient access permission to the registration file.
To resolve this aspect, there are two possible solutions (the first being the recommended solution):
1. Change the access permissions on the Lightroom folder that contains the registration file to grant "Read" access for the standard user account. (You can do this for each account individually, or you can use a broader group like Everyone.)
For more information about changing permissions, see one of these articles:

    * Mac OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8342.html
2. Copy the registration file from the system-wide location to the user-specific location for the standard user account. (You would need to repeat this step for each standard user that needs access to Lightroom.)

Months ago, I had a routine clearout of old software boxes etc and chucked out my Lightroom 1.0 box. A couple of weeks ago I reinstalled Lion on my mac to find that I cannot register Lightroom. I have the 3.0 upgrade serial, the 2.0 upgrade serial, but the 1.0 was on the box..
I followed the instructions above to find the files in crashplan form before the fomat that hold the registration details. I have tried placing them in the location described, but it doesn't seem to work.
The serials (or something) are in the file, but given in the string that is difficult to decipher - and doesn't work in the registration screen, wrong size and a mix of letters and numbers rather than just numbers as my 3.0 serial is.
Any suggestions for what I could do? Could I send the strings in to Adobe to be deciphered? Perhaps move files around a bit more?
Thanks in advance,
Rog.
