Installation folder for per user

Hello,
We use VMware Thinapp to install some programs with a MSI. We have a user collection to deploy the app and therefore install for a user. The SCCM installs the MSI to the APPDATA folder which is the roaming folder in the user profile. We use roaming profiles
and to prevent big profiles we would like to change the installation directory to LOCALAPPDATA, which is the LOCAL folder in the profile.
Is there a way to overwrite the standard installation location for a MSI using a command switch?
Thanks,
Edy from Switzerland

ConfigMgr doesn't apply any magic to the installation of a MSI. If the MSI is configured to install in certain directories then there isn't anything that ConfigMgr can do outside the normal MSI command line properties.
I did a quick search for you and I think something like the following article could be a work around:

Had Kernel panic and the app folder for my user is empty...

I was using a OWC estat express card and had my second kernel panic in two days (not using it anymore..) but when I restarted the app folder for my user was empty. Now the apps are still on Macintosh HD and in the apps stack in the dock.
So my question is does it matter if I just use the Macintosh HD apps and maybe even drag it into my user or will this cause problems.
Also, I don't have a backup at the moment bc I just upgraded to snow leopard last week...
Thanks!

The app folder for my user had all of my apps earlier today...!
I think that you are the one who is mistaken. All Apple apps are installed to the Applications folder at the root level of your hard drive, not the one in your user folder. If you moved them, some of them would stop working and all of them would stop being updated. Some third party apps will allow themselves to be placed in the user Applications folder, but some will not allow themselves to be installed anywhere other than the main Applications folder, and some will allow themselves to be placed in the user Applications folder but will not work properly if you do so.
So, there's absolutely no way you had all your apps in that folder.

Windows Installer repair issue for per-user folders/files

Intro:
I have doubts that this is the right place to ask about this, since this issue has existed for me on many windows platforms, please suggest where this should be forwarded if this is an inappropriate place to ask.
Please do not be confused by the directory paths for XP, this issue is also true for Windows 7.
Description:
Windows Installer does not repair files in per-user directories, such as [AppDataFolder], when initial installation is performed using system account (for example - distributing the package through SCCM or using psexec) and repairing under a user with administrative
privileges (limited user repair works fine).
Example.
.msi installation installs a custom .xml configuration file to "[AppDataFolder]". We're installing .msi by using psexec /s. log output:
MSI (s) (D8:F0) [15:19:01:214]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=SETTIN~2.CON|customXML,SourceCabKey=customXML,DestName=customXML,Attributes=16384,FileSize=2633,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,,,InstallMode=58982400,HashOptions=0,HashPart1=-1992414570,HashPart2=1238809189,HashPart3=-80616146,HashPart4=146746036,,)

Your suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Hello,
Did you ever get to the root cause of this?
I have a similar problem with a custom XML that is reported as "empty or is not a xml file." in the logs.
Wondered if you had found the root cause?
Kind regards,
Sio.

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

Hello,
I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having....
So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
each user or if I have to d this on per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Configuring Folder Redirection

Hope it helps.

One iTunes media folder for multiple users

Hi there,
I'm having trouble getting iTunes 9.0.3 to let me share one media folder across two users. I want to be able to share and update the contents of the media folder from either user account. I had this going before I updated thanks to another discussions post and a little program called BatCHmod, but now it doesn't seem to be working. Not only that, iTunes can't find some of my apps. Help?
It would also be great to be able to do the same with iPhoto.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions !
There's no easy answer for this one. Even the best options still require ongoing maintenance to keep things aligned.
The Consolidate command, unlike your expectations, only examines the current files known to iTunes and copies/reorganizes them into the "Music Location" setting. It does reattach files that were already moved to another location.
Generally speaking, the best option is to work from the computer with the largest/most complete set of music, consolidate it to the new drive, and then use a manual method or recreate the library on other computers using the network location. The "manual" method involves manually editing the "iTunes Music Library.XML" file on the computer to replace the old file location string with the new network location. As long as iTunes was maintaining files in its preferred location (drive:\...\iTunes Music\artist\album\song) this method can magically make the other iTunes' look to the new location for the file.
As for the "missing file" entries, here's a slightly automated cleanup routine.
* select all the files in the iTunes library list
* Get Info
* set BPM to 99 (presumes you don't rely on the BPM field for real data), missing files won't be updated (of course)
* after that completes add BPM to the Library view (ctrl-j or "view options") and sort the library by BPM
* all the missing files are now grouped together so you can easily delete their entries.
As for after all computers are using the network drive...
When a user adds music to their library, other users will not see that new entry. You have to manually drag those new files into the iTunes library on the other computers.

How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

Hello,
I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
.CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
System Rights
I tried the script detailed at:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx
Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strPath = objFolderItem.Path
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
'0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
I then tried the script at:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
Const blnShowErrors = False
' Set up filesystem object for usage
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Display desired folder sizes
Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder
' Protect against folders or files that are not accessible
Function FindFiles(objFolder)
On Error Resume Next
' List files
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:01", objFolder.Path
On Error Resume Next
FindFiles = FindFiles + objFile.Size
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:02", objFile.Path
Next
If Err.Number = 0 Then
' Recursively drill down into subfolder
For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:04", objFolder.Path
FindFiles = FindFiles + FindFiles(objSubFolder)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:05", objSubFolder.Path
Next
Else
ShowError "FindFiles:03", objFolder.Path
End If
End Function
' Function to format a number into typical size scales
Function FormatSize(iSize)
aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
For i = 0 to 4
If iSize > 1024 Then iSize = iSize / 1024 Else Exit For End If
Next
FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
End Function
Sub ShowError(strLocation, strMessage)
If blnShowErrors Then
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "==> ERROR at [" & strLocation & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " Number:[" & Err.Number & "], Source:[" & Err.Source & "], Desc:[" & Err.Description & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " " & strMessage
Err.Clear
End If
End Sub
The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
Is this possible?
Please help.

Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances. Take your pick.

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

Hello,
I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
have all of the files they are used to having....
Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
would it be this:
move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
This is the coding I have so far....
@echo off
color 0A
title Moving Local Profile folder to Centralized Profile Folder on Core Server.

echo Welcome, %USERNAME%
echo What would you like to do?
echo.

In Windows we would do this using Group Policy. There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to. Once set it will automatically do this for you.
You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder. The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running. It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed. This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
Use GP folder redirection to do this. For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum.
All of this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.

Deleteing folder for multiple users

Good morning all -
As most people would admit, I am terrible at scripting in any form. In short, I need assistance with a dummy proof script to delete the contents of a folder for multiple (150+) users, without having to touch each users profile. I would
prefer to be able to execute the script when needed. This won't be listed as a scheduled task or setup as a netlogon. The path is as follows:
C:\Users\michael.jannise.ctr\NS5\tmp
It can either be set to delete the tmp folder entirely, or just the contents of the folder. Which ever is easier.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance provided!
Regards,
Michael

I was going to warn you but this is more fun.
Understanding Windows and the Windows file system is always a big problem for non-technicians.
Learning this technology requires some time for testing things until you understand how they work. You really cannot learn this by asking people on the Internet to give you answers.
The command, as posted. removes only the "tmp" folder contents. How to make that clear is not clear. It needs to be tried. THe safe way yo do thisis to make a parallel structure and test that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I can play the game! :) I know I should spend the time working with this type of technology but, I would not execute it day to day and would most likely still make mistakes.
I am extremely grateful for people like yourselves who are willing to share the knowledge!

Open a folder for a user to view

hello fellow java programmers!
Im trying to figure out if its possible to do something... basically I want to open a new "window" on the users machine that is in fact their file browsing program.
so for instance for windows, it would be windows explorer. For mac it would be... whatever that file system browser is called.
generally I am saving a file for the user and I would like them to have immediate access to it. It is a movie file, but i cannot play the movie via java, so I want minimally to browse them to the appropriate folder so that they can double click the new video to watch it!
thanks in advance for your tips!

But on a more serious note. It pays to think of ways to express thanks that do not involve 'colorful language'. Not only does Sun have a responsibility* to not reprint bad language, but (as you may have noticed) there are diligent moderators who stamp on it.
Most people about these parts prefer that you mark a question as 'helpful' or 'correct' than expend words on platitudes**. They see that as being a more productive strategy for those that come later, searching for answers.
* This is probably arguable, but I do not intend to argue the point. Sun does what they do. Deal with it, or find a different forum.

Exchange 2010 Create new folder for select users off the root of the mailbox

I need to create a new folder for a select set of users. This folder needs to be off the root of their mailbox. I considered using a custom managed folder but we do not have the enterprise CAL’s to support this option. I only have
about 15 users so I could do this one by one if needed. I am not a powershell user but have been using the Exchange Management Shell and would like to us this app to create the folders but I’m not finding the right syntax for the new-mailboxfolder cmdlet.
What is the correct method for using the EMS to create a new folder in a mailbox.

I was checking back thru my notes and seem to remember running this cmdlet:
[PS] C:\Users\administrator.STOUSE\Desktop>get-mailboxPermission | FL
cmdlet Get-MailboxPermission at command pipeline position 1

Home folder for AD users?

I'm upgrading the servers from 10.6.8 to 10.7.. am running some testing before i do the final upgrade, i have noticed something.. I couldn't assign home folder for Active directory users.. I'm running Mac OSX 10.7.2
The Open Directory server is bound to Active directory server and when i open the Server app, and under users.. I clicked on + sign to add users and select the type as "imported user from another directory".. I can see all the active directory users and i can import them but then it doesn't allow me to create home folder for them.. while it works fine for the open directory users..
This what perfectly working under 10.6.8 but not under 10.7.2, unless there is a work around that I dont know about..
Any idea ?

Hi,
Could still do with trying to work out if this is possible. If anyone has any ideas / suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

How do I use one downloads folder for multiple users?

I recently added my girlfriend a profile in my Imac. We both have seperate Profiles and logins however I would like to find out, if the the Downloads folder can be used by both profiles. I found that each profile has their own Downloads folder, and goes to their own locations.
I would like to find out, if its possible to re-direct my downloaded files as well as her downloaded files into just ONE "Downloads" folder. The default destination of the downloads folder would be /users/girlfriend(name of girlfriend). I want to change it to /users/(me) so that all downloads would just go to one folder.
Thanks in advance!

Direct your downloads to Users-Shared

Setting Initial View Folder for All Users at Once and Forever. How???

<p>Is there any way to make the initial view of all users to be a specific folder? What I want to acomplish it to show my public folders expanded and always showing a specific folder. I can do it for myselft but what about a global setting?</p>

I tried the following code and it does not appear to work. Why?
Our goal is to take the destop preferences of a selected user and apply those preferences to all other users. How can that be done? Note: We need to apply those preferences whether they have already set their preferences or not.
     Dim oSourceUser As InfoObject
            Dim oTargetUsers As InfoObjects
            bErrorOccurred = False
            oSourceUser = oInfoStore.NewInfoObjectCollection().InfoStore.Query("SELECT SI_NAME, SI_DATA FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.User' And SI_Name = '" & vstrSourceUserID & "'").Item(1)
            If vstrTargetUserID.Length > 0 Then
                oTargetUsers = oInfoStore.NewInfoObjectCollection().InfoStore.Query("SELECT SI_NAME, SI_DATA FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.User' And SI_Name = '" & vstrTargetUserID & "'")
            Else
                oTargetUsers = oInfoStore.NewInfoObjectCollection().InfoStore.Query("SELECT SI_NAME, SI_DATA FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.User' And SI_Name != '" & vstrSourceUserID & "'")
            End If
            For Each oUser As InfoObject In oTargetUsers
                Try
                    oUser.Properties.Add("SI_DATA", oSourceUser.Properties("SI_DATA").Properties)
                Catch ex As Exception
                    bErrorOccurred = True
                    If ex.Message.Length = 0 Then
                        strLastError = "Unknown Error Occurred"
                    Else
                        strLastError = ex.Message
                    End If
                    Exit For
                End Try
            Next
            If bErrorOccurred = False Then oInfoStore.Commit(oTargetUsers)

Unzip directly in Linux and see what happens.

Any suggestion will be welcome.
Thank you.
