Instant Messenger contacts - add all users?
Is it possible to use a corporate address book or a dynamic LDAP query to add all (or many) users in the Instant Messenger?
We are deploying JCS in an organization, and the users complained that so far they only saw a means to add users by uid or via search by at least three characters of a name.
A reasonable idea they had was to predefine (or easily define) all staff for all staff. So whenever a user starts the IM applet, he can see all colleagues, not just the ones he had to manually enter.

When I search for group name in the "Add People" dialog, I only see the group names as "cos.ru/" (where "cos.ru" is the organization and domain name).
However when I click one of these relatively unidentified groups and add it to my list, I do see the group name and contents (users).The format of the dynamic group in the add contacts search screen for my test installation is:
<domain>/<dn of group> e.g.
aus.sun.com/cn=All Users, ou=Groups,o=aus.sun.com,o=ispIf you have a non-ascii character in the group name, that may be causing problems.
Also you may want to try another client system running a different client-side version of java (e.g. 1.5 vs. 1.6) to see if this makes a difference.
Apart from that all I can suggest is upgrading to the latest publicly available IM 7.2 patches (which is what I am running now) e.g. 118786-28 (solaris sparc) or 118787-28 (solaris x86) and 118789-29 (solaris sparc) or 118790-29 (solaris x86).
If that doesn't help log a support case so the issue can be investigated further.
PS: I hope it is not too annoying that I've lately resorted to such questions that you easily point me to the Docs or the Wiki? There's so much reading and so little time :( ....Not a problem. It can take me a while to track them down so I understand all too well especially if you don't know the option exists in the first place.

Shane.

Adium and Yahoo instant messenger contact lists not working with Leopard
After I installed Leopard, I tried to run Adium. When I tried to click on the icon and pop up my contact list to select a contact, nothing happens. I am now only able to receive messages and reply to received messages. I cannot get my contact list to pop up when clicking the icon in the dock (like I did with Tiger).
I had the same issue when using the latest Yahoo! messenger for Mac. Anyone else seeing this, or know of a fix?Hello tross415 and welcome to the Palm forums.
What you are seeing is, if I recall correctly, a bug from Palm webOS 1.3.1 that has not yet been addressed. If you launch Messaging on the Pre, and then select Preferences & Accounts > Add IM Acoun you will not get a button to add a Yahoo! IM account.
The work around for this issue, and to add Yahoo IM support to your Pre is to add a Yahoo email or calendar account. When you do, the IM account will also be created. That is the process that worked for me when Palm introduced Yahoo IM support with webOS 1.3.1.
Hope that helps,

Hi All,
I am looking at an Technical solution for Restricting the direct access some specific tables in my data base to all the users(Except admins and few Service accounts). However views created on top of these tables would be exposed to all Users.
Could any one help me with the best solution.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Raja SuriHello,
You can try to create a new role "Client_User" in the database and deny access to the new role on the specify tables. And then add all user which you want to restricting the direct access the specific tables to the database role.
For example:
Use Database
CREATE ROLE [Client_User] AUTHORIZATION db_securityadmin;
DENY SELECT ON OBJECT::schema.table TO [Client_User] ;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'Client_User', 'username';

Send notification to all users of specific responsibility in 11i
Hi All,
Is there anyway to send notification to all users of specific responsibility in 11i ?
I have a setup form for hierarchy level (e.g level 1 - 5) by which each level will be notified either by responsibility or user?
If its setup by responsibility, notification will be sent to all users under that responsibility.
Do i have to create role using WF_DIRECTORY.CreateAdHocRole and add all users for specific responsibility to the role?
Also if the responsibility setup changed, how to maintain the existing notification with the old resp.
eg. level 1 is set to resp X then later on set to resp Y.
Regards,
FendyUse 'Expand Roles' to achieve this. Please check the WF Developers Guide to see how it works.
Yes, you may use wf_directory.createadhocrole for this purpose too.
What do you mean when you say the responsibility has changed? It it is end-dated no notification should be sent to any of its members. It depends on the assignments of the role/user. if the assignment is used then the user will get it. If the assignment is end-dated then the user will not get the notification.
You can always use wf_local_synch.Propagate_user_role to change the assignment of a user/role. If you want to end-date it, you can use it. Or you can add another user to the role, etc.
Hope this helps,

Do Contact's Instant Messenger addresses sync with Outlook?
My Outlook contacts have the IM Address field defined, however it doesn't sync that field with the Instant Messenger fields of the iPhone's Contact record.
If I add an IM address to a contact on the iPhone, and sync back to a PC through iTunes, does it store that IM Address somewhere in the Outlook record? If so, where?
Thanks,
KeithI think you synchronise with outlook express, You try to synchronise with microsoft outlook, (option available at starting)
You can synchronise all email field as well notes, calender etc -
I've added a external mail contact for all my mailbox users because all the users have other jobs and other external email addresses. Since these users don't normally log on to my domain to get email, I need to create a distribution list with all their
external email addresses. I've scripted the creation of all the external mail contacts, from the mailbox users and I use AD's Notes field to contain the users external address. When using add-DistributionGroupMember and supplying the external mail
contact email address as the "-Member" param, about half of the time the users mailbox user gets added to the group instead of the external contact. I don't see any arguments to tell add-DistributionGroupMember to use only mail contacts.
1) I don't even know how it's finding the mailbox user because I'm supplying an external email address which is only in the external mail contact.
2) Some members of the group are correctly added as external contacts, some are mailbox users.
3) I only want the external mail contacts in the group
If it helps, here's the line that I use to add members to the group. I've tried mail enabling the mail contacts, no help...
Add-DistributionGroupMember–identity“AltEveryone”–member(get-QADuser$_.Name).Notes
Thanks for any help.You should ask questions like this in the Exchange forum. It is not a scripting question but is a product behavior question.
You cannot add an external contact without first creating the contact first.

Can the Terminal add a user(with all options) on a single line?
Howdy All,
Can the Mac Terminal add a user, with all options desired, on a single line? If so, can I get an example of this single terminal line to work from?
ThanksThanks Drew! You have some great thoughts there. Perhaps I should provide a clearer environment of each high school(4). All classrooms have a lock down Windows environment. (There are no Macs any where in any classrooms.) The mini-tower will be the only Mac on each high school campus. we're in Dell country. The desktops are locked in such a way that only the ghosted/installed software on each hard drive works and no other software can be installed. USB sticks can't run any exe, jar, or other executable file. Even the other drives on the network can't run them. This has been setup to prevent students from bringing games into the environment and running them. Only the single classroom in each high school, where Web Tech is taught, has a ftp tool installed. Students cannot bring and use their own laptops either. So there really isn't any stray ftp activity happening. You cannot "ftp" out of the network! And there is only the one Mac available per campus. All this makes it certainly easier to maintain for sure. I am the only user in the school district they let run a personal laptop...mine has Ubuntu (tweaked). My knowledge of Linux has led them to assign this project to me. They are MS based entirely and so is their knowledge base.
I've got to teach the other 4 teachers how to manage the mini-tower. Basically it is this:
Start and stop Apache2,
Start and stop vsftp,
Add ftp users(students will only have directory: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/studentlastname.firstname ) Students will not log on to the min- tower directly as any normal user would, but only through ftp. (I.E. no /home directory) ,
Remove/delete students as needed
(I'll pre-install cgi-bin scripts on these to keep it simpler on the other teachers and myself.)
With this in mind, you can see why a basic script or single command line to install these students would be great! I want to keep it simple to avoid mistakes the teachers might make adding users. Once I understand adding a user (in a terminal) better on a Mac, I may write a script to make it happen for them.
I'd also like to understand removing/deleting a student/user better to insure everything is gone when executed.
I hope this clear things up. Any help is much appreciated. THANKS!!! -
My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we avoid this?
Make groups of contacts in your Address Book and select the option to sync only selected groups to each phone.

How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.
-NinaSorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name. -
How do I install an Add-on for all users
I wish to user the FoxFilter addon to prevent users from visit all websites, except a whitelist. This addon works fine. I just need the addon to work for all users on the computer. Not just the one the addon was installed for. Can this be done and if so, how?
This is very possible and you can do it in few very steps.
<br/><br/>1-First you have to download the xpi add-on file instead of installing it.
<br/><br/>2-Use the following command at the run prompt (type Windows + R): firefox -install-global-extension
<br/><br/>For example if your downloaded xpi add-on is on C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\
<br/><br/>Then you write firefox -install-global-extension C:\Users\Simon\Downloads
<br/><br/>Note : The addon will be normally available where every addon is. Keep in mind that only administrators can uninstall it.
Have a nice day
Sincerely,

I have a set of Citrix servers, we need to upgrade the FireFox on them to 29.0.1
When I have done this, and a user runs FireFox, now the users are being presented with a pop-up "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" which delays the start of FireFox.
I need to prevent this so users just see FireFox start up without any delays.
I have installed the add-on that re-enables extensions.checkCompatibility and tried various ways of implementing it like pref("extensions.checkCompatibility", false);
However we seem to have a situation where the add-on that enables the setting is not loaded yet so the setting is not implemented.
How do I solve this for all users?You can try to set the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref to ignore on the about:config
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to specify new (default) values and possibly lock prefs.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

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.

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.
