Internal modem and user accounts

10.3.9 / PB 17" 1.5ghz
I have to use a dial-up connection at the moment. When I dial-in with one user account the internet connection is terminated when I switch users (I have fast user switching enabled). When I was accessing the internet via broadband with my airport express I would never lose the connection.
Is it possible to stay connected via dial-up modem when I switch users?

First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

Checking Computer AND User Account against AD without TLS

Hi Folks,
i am working on a customer site with 5500/ACS5.2/AD/WZC. The Customer looks for a good Authentication Scenario but decides against TLS. So we tested PEAP with checking the AD for a valid Computer Account and User Auth. But, if i use a Laptop with no Domain Computer Account but a valid User Account, i can gain Access. Is it possible that the ACS can check for a valid Computer AND User Account and successes the Client only if both Accounts are available and valid?
Regards, Michael

Hi Nicolas, thx for this Hint. I did today the Host Lookup and "was machin auth" thing, but anyway, my own Laptop
that is not in the Domain can connect with a Domain User ID to the Network. Any Hint or Trick? I saw on other Discussions you referred to that some Users did an AD Rejoin, what do you think?

Check for Updates and User Account Control

With Adobe Reader the 'Check for Updates' function under Help does not appear to function when 'User Account Control (UAC)' in Windows Vista is turned on.
When UAC is turned off, the 'Check for Updates' works, and if there an update is available for Adobe Reader, it will download and install.
Other programs that update software funtion with UAC turned on, albeit with the additional dialog boxes that UAC brings, namely the CTL/ALT/DEL and user account logon (when applicable.)
Without updating the Adobe Reader software, users are leaving themeselves open to vulnerabilities. Without UAC turned on, users are also leaving themselves open to certain risks. So there appears to be a dilemma presented.
Does anyone know if/when Adobe will be changing the 'Check for Updates' functionality so it will behave more in-line with the UAC functionality?
Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

With UAC enabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is no selection for updating. There is nothing for me to click. Additionally, in Edit, Preferences, Updater, "Do not download or install updates automatically" is selected, and everything on the right pane is greyed-out.
With UAC disabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is a selection for 'Check for Updates.' In Edit, Preferences, Updater, I can select the various methods of downloading/updating Adobe Reader. The option to download the update but not install was selected, as I wanted it to be.
Finally, I noticed that the notice from Adobe, 'Update is ready to install,' appears in the Windows tray. And it is this point that somewhat changes the serverity of the problem, that is, while 'Check for Updates' is not available when UAC is enabled, it appears that Adobe can still be updated through the automatic download feature. The only problem with this is that I cannot tell if the update was downloaded while UAC was enabled (probably not since the download setting says not to) or while UAC was disabled.
In any case, it still does not appear that our clients can get their Adobe Reader software updated while UAC is enabled. And this represents a security dilemma for us.

Does Aiport Express work with internal modem and dial up ?

Does Airport Express allow for internet connection if you only have a dial-up account with an internal modem (iBook G4)?
When configuring the Airport Base Station in the Utilitiles/admin section - the only options available are for Ethernet/PPP - the modem options are grey and not selectable.

Hi,
An AirPort Express is not capable of using its USB port for the connection of a mobile broadband modem.
One possibility would be to combine an AirPort Express with a special adapter (such as this product) with Ethernet output.
Another possible solution would be to use a mobile broadband router (perhaps something similar to this or this) with built-in Wi-Fi, instead of the above combination.
Make sure that the USB mobile broadband modem in question is supported in both cases.

Sending Faxes using internal modem and DSL

I found that I can receive a fax, but I cannot send one. When I try and send one the internal modem tries to connect to the internet using "internet connect". It searches for a number to connect to the internet. Since I am using DSL now I don't have a phone number to dial into the internet. If I put my phone number in it calls me and gets a busy signal.
Can someone tell me how I should be configuring the internal modem?

From the Knowledge Base at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1797.html
Sending a fax
You can fax files directly from your computer to any fax machine or computer that is set up to receive faxes. If your computer has a modem that is connected to a phone line, it is automatically configured to send faxes.
Open the document you want to fax.
Choose File > Print.
Choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
Type the fax number of the user you want to receive your fax in the To field.
You can also choose users directly from Address Book by clicking the Address Book button to the right of the To field. Be sure you have a fax number listed for each user you choose in Address Book. For more information about using Address Book, see Address Book Help, available in the Help menu when Address Book is open.
If necessary, type the dialing prefix required for the phone system you're using in the Dialing Prefix field. (For example, if you need to dial a 9 to access an outside line, type 9 in the Dialing Prefix field.)
If you want to send a fax through a modem other than your computer's built-in modem, choose it from the Modem pop-up menu.
If you want to send a cover page with your fax, click the Use Cover Page checkbox and type a message in the Message field.
If you need to change any of the preset faxing options, choose the type of options you want to change from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu. (To see options for the application you're using, choose the application from the pop-up menu.)
If necessary, select options for the type you chose. (For example, you can select the number of copies you want faxed if you chose Copies & Pages in step 8.)
Tip: If you have a combination of options that you frequently use when faxing a document, you can save it as a "preset." After choosing your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu and type a name for the set of options. If you want to use this set of options when you fax a document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.
Click Fax.
The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. (For example, if you're using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.)
You may want to send your fax at a later time. For example, you may want to send it at night when telephone rates are lower. Just choose Scheduler from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu, and enter the time. Make sure your computer is on, is not asleep, and is connected to your phone line at that time.

Sharing Itunes library between an admin and user account on one imac G5

Hello,
Please forgive the repetitive question. i have set up an admin and a user account on my iMac. I set the itunes library to users/shared/music/itunes/itunes library on both accounts. The music shows up on the admin account but not the user account.
Can anyone give a quick step by step including obscure settings that may need to be altered so that I can finally get this pesky stress monkey off my shoulder!
Thanks!

Hi,
Someone recently poasted a similar problem as yours.
Here's the discussion and solution:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1192454

How do I repair my library and user account?

My problem:
- Created new user named "admin" and wanted to transfer my entire account there and gave it full rights. Decided not to. <- long story
- Now, original account does not have full rights and every setting I change (like desktop wallpaper) changes back to the day I gave full rights to my other account.
- Asks password to move and delete files.
- Apps connected to Apple account (iPhoto, Notes, Mail, Calendar, Preview, Reminders, FaceTime, etc. - except iTunes and Messages) asks for password as well and when I put it in, it crashes and says the app quit unexpectedly
- Also, Apple apps like Messages cannot log in to my Apple account, and I cannot receive any messages anymore.
Attempts to fix:
- I tried giving myself acces to a lot of folders (my hard drisk, home, desktop, system, library, user accounts, applications)
- Disk Utility - Verify Disk Permissions and Repair Disk Permissions
HELP!

HI,
I am presuming there was only one account on the mac in the first place.
In System Preferences > User and Groups this would have been an Admin account.
You now seem to be saying that this Mac User Account is no longer an Admin account ("Does not have full rights") but have not explained how you got to that state.
You can have several Mac User Accounts that have Admin Permissions.
Other posters who may be able to help may need the exact steps that you took in this process.

Email name and user account pictures keep changing

My wife and I share contacts and calendars using my iCloud account. She syncs her notes and reminders using her iCloud account. This seems to work fine, but a problem has arisen that I suspect is related to this setup that I don't know how to resolve. When I send an email from my iCloud account it now has a from address of "my wife's name <[email protected]>" instead of "my name <[email protected]>". Also the account login picture for my Mac's user account has been replaced with hers. The latter I can reset (I don't know how to fix the former) but eventually the problem seems to recur. I'm not sure if this is related but our contacts list identifies my address book card with the "this is me" tag.

#1 I am 99.5% sure (but only 99.5% if you aren't a gambling man) that when you delete a user's account using the accounts preferences all their stuff gets put into a "deleted users" folder in the users directory on the computer, so it is still all there until you trash that folder. Their account is gone but their files are still around.
#2 I don't actually have an "applications" folder in my account, there is just one at the main directory level, so I don't think each user necessarily has one by default. However, each user has a bunch of preferences so when I start an application it comes up with my preferences. Another user will have the application come up with their preferences. That's not to say I couldn't have an application in my account area, but I could in theory have an application tucked away in any folder or subfolder and not readily identifiable as such. Any applications not in the general applications folder usually won't be accessable to other users so unless you're logging as that old user you may not even know about applications there.

Administrator account AND user account neccesary?

I recently read in some posts that you should have an administrator account setup up on your mac but then also have a user account for yourself to use. Can anyone better explain this to me and tell me why I should do this? Right now I am the only one using the computer and there is only one account set up and it is the admin account.
Thanks

Depending on how often you take your pB on the road determines it for me.
Portables are more likely to be stolen than desktops, and if there is sensitive info on it, ssn's for example, I prefer to have that protected or hidden in an upper level account.
That way, if you use a second account for normal, mundane stuff, if it is heisted, the crooks would not have access to top secret stuff.

Get server date and user account to display them in two display items.

Hello,
I would like to get the server date and the curent Oracle user account to display them in two "display items" in my form. So, If someone can help me, I will appreciate it.
Thanks!

There's nothing to fetch. You assign the value from the function GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME); as you would any value returned from a function.
DECLARE
myVar VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
myVar := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
END;Hope this helps.

Mavericks server alerts and User account questions

Hi
I'm looking for more detailed information about setting up Alerts in Mavericks Server, plus I seem to have a strange problem with new user accounts when setting up.
More Info.
I have a Mac Mini acting almost 100% exclusively as a Time Machine backup device with encryption of three portable computers on a wired network. This was originally set up three years using Snow Leopard Server and a 2Tb external FireWire Drive.
The external drive is now proving too small, and in any case is showing the possible first signs of failure when tested, so the intention is to replace it with a RAID of some sort, probably a 2-drive RAID 1 device but if the budget allows we might be able to look at RAID 5 or 6 units.
It seems a good opportunity to clean install Mavericks Server on the Mini, so I've set up a test station on my MacBook Pro with my Mac Pro (both running 10.9.2) as a test backup client. The Server OS is on an external FireWire boot drive, and the TM backup folders are on another external, in this case a USB 3.0
For obvious reasons there does not seem to be any reason to turn on more services than absolutely necessary, so just Time Machine and File Sharing for the moment. All works well but I can't seem to get Alerts working. I've listed 3 different eMail addresses (all mine) for the alerts to be sent to, and I have two Admin Accounts for Notifications, both using the same AppleID I set the Server software up with. I've gone through the rather sparse setup help information carefully, and there is no information about additional services being required, although I did try setting up the Mail client (tested sending and receiving) on the Server and having it running whilst the backups were being tested.
As I said, the test backups went fine and when I disconnected the backup drive from the Server to simulate a failed drive the TM on the Mac Pro client showed an alert saying the backup drive could not be found. However, there were no emails or Notifications received, either on the Mac Pro or my iPhone from the Server.
There seems to be minimal amount of information available about the workings of Mavericks Server, but I have gone through what I can additionally find online about Mountain Lion Server, with no real indication of what it is that I am missing. The only instructions seem to be exactly what I've done, so your advice would be appreciated.
Another thing that puzzles me, is that when restarting the MacBook Pro I get all the Admin and Standard User Accounts (created in Server.app) showing at the login screen. This is only four Accounts in total, so what would happen if this was 50 Users? If I click on the 'User' tab in Server.app I get 83 User Accounts showing, but that was not the case until this evening, as only the Admin and Stardard User Accounts I had set up were visible.
It's obviously possible that I've mucked up the install and basic setup somehow, but I can't see that anything I've done would have these effects as I've been careful to follow the options put in front of me.
Thank you in advance.

SBS2008 Disk failure. Files and user accounts disappeared

Am just on a client site that suffered a power outage at the weekend (Cyclone Lusi). They have SBS2008 and a RAID1 array (two disks). One of the disks has failed, but it also appears that the server believes it is one month prior! I created a user account
on the 24th February and it is no longer there.
Also, the last backup that the system is aware of is from 18th February. I have mounted the vhd file containing all the backups, and the files are available as recently as last Thursday (13th Mar). In 15 years of system support i have never encountered anything
as weird as this, i'm wondering if anyone else has come across this and if so how they managed to get the system returned to a "normal" state.
TIA
Neill
