Is it possible to manually setup a Folder Redirection Policy on SBS 2008 for one user? Also are you able to set up folder redirection on a different server than you have SBS 2008 on?

I have a SBS 2008 DC I would like to be able to change the Folder Redirection to a different server.  I also would like to be able to test with one user.  I read on the forums that it is best to use the wizards for SBS2008.  The only problem
I have with using the wizards is that I am unable to test and I am also unable to use a network share for my redirection location.  

Hi,

  • How do I install a Thunderbird add-on for all users? Putting the XPI file into Extensions folder didn't work.

    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.

  • Folder Redirection policy is not applied to a user, when the server target is changed, but works after resetting the windows profile.

    Folder Redirection policy is not applied to a user, when the server target is changed. 
    After server target is changed via group policy, when user login  (roaming profile)first time, the the new server target has not been applied, instead it's pointing to the old folder redirection path.
    But if we reset the windows profile (roaming ), the new folder redirection works, can you please specify a solutions that the new folder redirection works when the user login for the first time. so it reduce the time on resetting users profile.
    it seems that we need to delete the old folder redirection path from the user profile (roaming user profile) via group policy or similar solutions..
    Many Thanks

    >   But when the specific users login they all get the same error, it
    Is the old server removed from the domain? Seems so - or some other
    authentication related issue, hard to tell from here...
    > seems that the roaming user profiles still keeps the old server details,
    Yes - if you change redirection targets, FR moves content from old to
    new, and only if this ends sucessfully, it will update the redirection
    target.
    Make the old redirection target accessible to the user and you'll be fine.

  • Can I install Acrobat in a Windows Server 2008 for many users?

    I'm looking for a solution for my enterprise to install Adobe Acrobat in Windows Server 2008 R2, where the users connect by remote desktop. I'm looking for a form for they use Acrobat by the same form they uses now Reader. But not for all, only for some of this users.
    I called a responsible and he told me that I can install Acrobat for some users in Windows Server 2008 R2, but I'm not sure if that solution will be legal.
    Can I buy a special license for it or I have to buy a license for each user? How can I proceed to do this, if it's possible?

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    <pre><nowiki>lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);</nowiki></pre>

  • Is it possible for one user to use Aperture and another iPhoto?

    I have a new imac 21.5", 3.33ghz, 4gb and I was wondering if it is possible for me as admin user to handle camera downloads automatically with Aperture, and my wife as second user to use iPhoto as automatic camera destination? Any comments would be appreciated.

    If you want to use the same account there are a number of possibilities:
    1. Set both Aperture and iPhoto to Do Nothing when a camera is connected. Then each one can launch their preferred app themselves. It's just one extra click.
    2. Use [Cameras|http://www.flexibits.com> to configure what happens when different cameras are connected.

  • Migration Assistant says it needs 221978913 gb for one user folder

    I am attempting to migrate a colleague of mine from a PowerMac G5 2.0 DP running 10.4.8 to a Mac Pro 2x2.66 machine running 10.4.8 as well.
    I have the old machine hooked up via a firewire cable and idling in target disk mode. On the new machine I login as an user with administrative rights, start up the migration assistant and let it calculate (takes about 5 minutes). Then it says that it needs 221978913 gb for one of the user folders (the one basically being used and needing to migrate). Obviously this isn't correct. The user folder is pretty big (about 110gb) but definitely not 221978913 gb. Everything else such as Applications or the guest user account is the correct size.
    What do I need to do to make this work? I have a feeling its an alias pointing to itself or something like that, but the guy has thousands of files and projects in his folder... there's gotta be a quick and dirty way to find something like that (perhaps a find command or applescript).
    Thanks guys,
    Yvo

    Hi Yvo:
    I've seen outlandish size estimates like that when the directory is messed up; the computer basically doesn't know where the files begin and end, and it comes up with some huge number for the size of the folder.
    Try using Disk Utility to Repair Disk on the G5. If it makes any repairs, try again until it finds no errors. Then try running the migration assistant again and see what it says.
    Good luck,

  • Office 2008 Setup Assistant Loop for one user, but not for another

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air and migrated everything across using Migration Assistant via WiFi.
    Seems to have gone fine but found that my wife can't get any Office 2008 apps to start up. Word, Excel, etc start up in my account without a hitch but when we try to start any Office app in wife's account the Setup Assistant pops up, asks if we'd like to participate in feedback, then asks to choose to register or learn more. No matter what we choose the Microsoft Updater pops up and prompts to check for updates after this the app closes. We are forever in this loop of trying to open an Office app, checking for updates and then the app closing down. And the app closes even if I quit Setup Assistant and/or Microsoft Updater.
    I've tried dumping various plists but not luck.
    Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated.

    Another copy of this question turned up a couple of weeks later and has been answered. Basically, you have to reinstall Office 2008 from the original media.

  • Is it possible to add a button to the right-click context menu for a user in Outlook 2010 using VBA?

    I've tried many things and read up quite a bit but I cannot figure this out.
    I cannot create an add-in so I have to use VBA.
    I want to add a a button to the right-click context menu when I right-click on a user. Is this possible?

    Hello,
    Yes, it is possible to customize the context menu in Outlook. See
    Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 for more information.
    But VBA doesn't allow to customize the Fluent UI in Outlook, you need to develop an add-in instead.

  • Adding printers to Terminal Server 2008 for all users

    Hi!  I'm trying to add a printer to a terminal server for all users that log in.  I've been reading around and this seems like a working solution:
    Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\localcomputername /n\\servername\printername
    So I ran this with the proper parameters.  Nothing shows up in Devices and Printers with the name I specified.  I rebooted the server, still nothing.  I re-run the command above and it tells me there's already a printer defined with that name. 
    I look at Devices and Printers and the name I specified still isn't there.  Why doesn't the above command work like it's supposed to?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, yes, that was the first command I tried (without the /c).  All subsequent attempts tell me the printer already exists yet it definitely does not show up under Devices and Printers.  I ran the above logged in as Administrator with an elevated
    command prompt.  The printer can't be seen from this login or a 'normal' user login.

  • AEBS setup behaves differently on Lion Server than Snow Leopard

    I have a small office setup with a Mac Mini Server running Lion server, a Canon Wifi printer scanner and a Canon USB A3 printer connected to an AEBS which is in turn connected to the buildings network gateway for internet access. We have 3 MacBook Pros (snow leopard) which connect wirelessly and the Mac Mini has an ethernet cable to the AEBS. Fairly simple and we just have 1 manual IP address for the server with the AEBS doing DHCP and NAT.
    The issue I have is that if I change the AEBS settings using Airport Utility on a Mac Book Pro (the first time I just changed the DNS numbers to Googles free set and nothing else), I lose internet connectivity. I can get a partial connection if I also set the subnet to 255.0.0.0 (most websites load, but maybe 10% fail). Consistent and repeatable behaviour - every time I change the AEBS settings I lose the internet and the same websites fail to load.
    I can get everything working again by using the Mac Mini server to change something on the AEBS, or just restart the AEBS. In which case I can use the recommended subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 and everything works as it should.
    So my question is Why?? Does the Server change some background ports, or retain some link to the AEBS which stops it functioning if I use a non-server machine to make a change??
    One bit of background: When I first got the Mac Mini Server I let it take control of the AEBS setup - It asked, and I let it, but this activated the 802.1x security and required a login to the server before access to the wifi was granted. A nice feature but the Canon wireless scanner/printer does not support this, so I had to stop this and set the aebs manually, so I could use my scanner again. Is it possible that some link has been retained from this?
    I do have a full working setup now that I realise I have to use the server to operate the AEBS, but can anyone help with an explanation? It caused me a few months of partial internet access and lots of wasted time, so would like to know if there is a solution that would allow me to set the AEBS from any Mac on our LAN.
    Thanks for taking the time to help!

    Which services have been removed or depreicated?
    You have to bear in mind that 'removed' or 'deprecated' only really means 'no longer bundled and supported by Apple'. Just because Mac OS X Lion Server doesn't ship with a foobar server that doesn't mean you can't download and install your own foobar server. It just won't be integrated into the Server Admin apps.
    For example, Lion Server no longer ships MySQL Server. So download and install your own copy. It's not like the GUI apps gave you any control over the MySQL anyway, other than starting it up and controlling the network ports.
    Likewise for print server. Some of the advanced print features such as quotas have been removed from the GUI, but you can implement them yourself.
    Likewise with QuickTime Streaming Server, where the functionality is little more than a web service.
    What features that have been enhanced?
    Lion Server has simplified the setup of a server for small workgroups with simple requirements. If that's you then the whole experience may be enhanced since you're not swamped with a slew of options that you don't understand, or need.
    I think a lot of people were also stymied by Snow Leopard Server because they expected the GUI apps to cover all the options, which was never the case.
    So my original point stands. There is pretty much nothing you cannot do in Lion Server than you could do in Snow Leopard Server, it's just that it might not be supported by the GUI. Most serious server admins eschew Server Admin.app anyway since even Snow Leopard Server's admin app doesn't cover all the capabilities of some of the services, so you end up driving it via the command line anyway.

  • Code for setting KM Folder properties(standard & custom)

    Hi,
    How do I programatically set the KM Folder properties(standard as well as custom defined) ?
    Also, how do I programatically set KM Document properties(standard & custom) and its Permissions ?
    (I have NWDS setup to do the development)
    Any API references or code samples or documentation would be of great help
    thanks
    Ashish

    You could do something like this...
    path is the location of the resource in KM.
    namespace is the namespace of the property you would like to set.
    name is the id of the property you would like to set.
    value is what you want to set it to.
    public static boolean setPropertyValueOfResource(String path, String namespace, String name, String value)
            try
              RID file = RID.getRID(path);
              IUser user = WPUMFactory.getServiceUserFactory().getServiceUser("cmadmin_service");
              IResourceContext rContext = new ResourceContext(user);
              IResource fileResource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(file, rContext);
              IPropertyName pName = new PropertyName(namespace, name);
              IProperty prop = new Property(pName, value);
              fileResource.setProperty(prop);
              return true;
         catch(NullPointerException E)
         catch(UserManagementException e)
         catch(ResourceException e)
    You can also get the property value of a resource.
    public static String getPropertyValueOfResource(String path, String namespace, String name)
         try
              RID file = RID.getRID(path);
              IUser user = WPUMFactory.getServiceUserFactory().getServiceUser("cmadmin_service");
              IResourceContext rContext = new ResourceContext(user);
              IResource fileResource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(file, rContext);
              IPropertyName pName = new PropertyName(namespace, name);
              IProperty property = fileResource.getProperty(pName);
              return property.getValueAsString();
         catch(NullPointerException E)
         catch(UserManagementException e)
         catch(ResourceException e)
    You can also get the available values for the property
    public static String[] getAllowedPropertyValues(String propertyId, String namespace)
         try
              IPropertyConfigurationService propConfigService =(IPropertyConfigurationService)ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory().getService("PropertyConfigurationService");
              IMetaModel metaModel = propConfigService.getMetaModel();
              IPropertyName propertyName = new PropertyName(namespace, propertyId);
              IMetaName metaName = metaModel.searchByPropertyName(propertyName);
              IMetaValueListIterator iterator = metaName.allowedValueIterator();
              String values = "";
              while(iterator.hasNext())
                   IMetaValue m = iterator.next();
                   values += m.getValue() + ";";
              return values.split(";");
         catch (ResourceException e)
         catch (PropertyConfigurationServiceException e)

  • Installing Oracle Application Server 10g 101202 on Windows 2008 64 bit

    Hi All,
    what i need to do is install this software like this:
    installing Oracle Infrastructure to handel Sessions as db for oracle forms & reports
    install Oracle Forms & Reports Service as Middle-Tire on the same machine in defirent home
    configure my report server as i require it to work with rdf files in spechial folders
    i have done this installation more than i can remember in Windows 2003 R2 SP2 32 bit
    but for Windows Server 2008 i am facing some problem that there is no software avilable for 64 bit or Windows 2008 in Oracle Download Site
    Spechilaly when my server is not itanum !
    Can any one point me to the right download page if avilable or another solution for this problem
    i don't think that oracle have stopped support for this product spechilaly when the reports generated by Oracle Report Service is far to good and fast with Oracle Database
    Best Regards
    Ibrahim

    Hi Ibrahim,
    You should decide what you require.
    32bit version can be installed on 64bit server and this should work fine (check the certification matrix for this).
    The "problem" is that you would not gain any performance benefit from the 64bit server
    If you want to have benefit you can upgrade the JVM to 64 bit version.
    I did this 3 years ago and I do not remember exact steps though everything worked OK.
    WARNING:
    this  can be unsupported, ask support to be sure
    - Install the 32 bit version on the server
    - Download 64 bit Java JRE/JDK and install it (well, you can search the same release as included in the AppServer or try newer one, 7 for example)
    - later, reconfigure the appserver so it uses the version you've installed, OR Copy the everything from c:\progfiles\java\... to the directory OraHome\... (forgot exact directories)
    try to search the forum, there had been a thread with the same question
    regards, michael

  • Is it possible to disallow RDP for one member of local admins group?

    Hello:
    I have an application server which has a service account that is in the local admins group. Is it possible to disallow only that particular service account from being able to RDP into the server? Server is Windows Server 2003 SP2. Basically, I'm trying to
    bypass this: Members of the local Administrators group can connect even if they are not listed. I understand that anyone using the service account could undo any restrictions I make, so what I'm trying to do would just be
    a deterrent. I cannot disable RDP altogether since our regular sys admins need to be able to RDP into the server. Thank you.

    What if you specified the user and denied them rights to RDP to the server.  A deny overrides every other permission, and if you can do this, then only that one user would not be able to RDP into the server, but other admins would be able to. 

Maybe you are looking for
