Is it possible to mass change desktop wall paper for all users using WGM?

is it possible to mass change desktop wall paper for all users using WGM?

yes, it's easy - change a machine to the desktop you want (the image must be on all the machines, with the same name, of course), find ~/library/preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist Copy that to your server (or just put it on a flash drive) In workgroup manager select preferences - details - "add". Navigate to that plist. (Optional - hit "edit" and cut and past from "often" to "always", then the user cannot change the desktop at all, if you leave it in "often" it will reset next log-on.)

  • How to change the download destination for all users in a same machine?

    Hi !
    Can anybody help me?
    This is the scenario:
    My application is going to be deployed in PCs with high rotation and politics inside the company those machines can't persist user information outside a session. This means that an user always is a new user in a PC, and when he logs off, his information (.../documents and settings/UserName/) is deleted by a central machine.
    The problem is that my users always have to download the application by JWS, because JWS saves (or caches) the application inside user folders.
    I know that it's possible to change download destination by a logged user, not like a global configuration.
    My question is:
    It is possible to configure the JWS properties (or something) to ensure that there will be only one .jar per machine not per user in the machine?

  • Changing the display profile for multiple users at once.

    Is it possible to change the display profile for multiple users at once? We would like ot be able ot add tabs and channels globally, but right now we can anly do it for once user at a time. Also, is it possible to have certain generic display profiles that all users use? like an admin profile and a tech support profile and a normal suer profile? Any help is appreciated...

    Yes this possible using the dpadmin batch command.
    Please check the dpadmin documentation for the batch command.
    For generic display profile what you can do is create users and assign the user particular roles. The display you would be creating would be for the roles. The users belonging to that role would inherit that display profile.

  • How to change settings for all users?

    Hi All,
    In cPro we have User Settings button. On clicking that we get a Tabstrip where you will find "User" tab.
    my question is: How can we change the default settings for all users e.g setting the checkbox "Scheduling only manually" to true ?

    Hi Arti,
    In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
    Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.

  • HELP - Change cache location for ALL users.

    I am in desperate mode here, so I appreciate any help...
    I just installed 1.4.2_08 on my Citrix environment. I have a GPO that only allows 30mb of data to be saved in their profile and this is the max that I can make it. The problem is that the website created that uses this version of JRE creates a an 11mb file twice in the users profile. This blows up their session and they are no longer allowed to log off until I go in and clear it off. I've only had about 10 users that I have had to do this too, but I can see it's going to get a lot higher. Basically I want to change the cache location for all users, not just my profile, and redirect it to the users 'My Documents' folder. This way my GPO that then redirects the users 'My Documents' folder can have this folder on their home drive.
    Please, help! Thanks a bunch!!

    I had the same problem, but fixed it with this solution:
    I added [deployment.user.cachedir=c\:\\temp\\cache] to the deployment.properties file.
    (located at C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment)
    Then i deleted the cache directory.
    Now i am making my one Transform file for the deployment of java 1.6.0_05.
    Does anyone knows how i can change the cache files etc in my transform file.
    Thanks a lot!!

    Based on your description, we can navigate to the registry entry
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System to check if
    REG_SZ “Wallpaper” registry key was written on the client.
    Regarding how to deploy wallpaper via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.

  • Multipoint 2012: Same Desktop (Template/Image) for all stations possible?

    How can I get the same Desktop on all stations?
    - same startpage in Internet Explorer
    - same search engine (e.g. fragfinn.de)
    - same Icons on Metro and Desktop
    - same background

    Group Policy will do a lot of the things for you but it wasn't robust enough for my needs so I created an unattend.xml file for our sysprep image that accomplishes what you want. We've set up 3500 stations with this.
    We have 700+ of the same servers, so I created the image exactly how I wanted it, down to where the desktop icons were located, customizations within Office products, classicshell.net start button replacement, drivers, etc. The trick is to create a normal
    user account (not an administrator account) that will be copied over as your default profile when you sysprep the image. All users will get the account settings by default when you run sysprep. I suggest that you clean up this master user account as well,
    by deleting temp, cache, and dump files that are not needed. You can do this after-the-fact by cleaning the C:\Users\Default profile, but you might as well do it now. Also, do NOT turn on DiskProtect or authenticate Windows. The unattend.xml file will authenticate
    Windows for you and automatically log in as the administrator account so you can rename the server and join it to your domain if needed.
    1. Once you've got your image perfect, make a backup of the partition/drive BEFORE continuing, since if you ever want to make changes to your image (i.e. install Windows Updates, software, or new drivers), you'll need to restore from this backup. You can
    do this with Ghost, Acronis, or some free ones out there.
    2. Log into your master user account that will be used for all users (DO NOT USE THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). For this example, I created a user called SysPrep.
    3. Open up a command prompt with "Run as Administrator" and run this command (replace "U:\SysPrep" with the drive and folder where you've saved your unattend.xml file). Your server will power off after a minute.
    Do NOT turn your computer back on unless you're going to boot up to a CD/USB drive to capture an image or backup.
    C:\Windows\System32\SysPrep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown /unattend:U:\SysPrep\unattend.xml
    4. Your drive is now ready to be used as a master drive for cloning to other hard drives. You have several options at this point but let me tell you what I did.
    A. Create a .wim file of the image to be used in ConfigManager. I was able to do this by booting up into WinPE and then running the imagex command as shown in the "Capture an Image for Deployment" section of this guide:
    http://www.danscourses.com/Windows-7-and-8/how-to-create-a-wim-system-image-file-with-windowsaik-and-windowspe.html
    B. I also purchased some StarTech.com SATDOCK4U3RE stand-alone hard drive duplicators with 3 StarTech.com 12in 22 Pin SATA Power and Data Extension Cables (Item: SATA22PEXT from MonoPrice) to make the transfer easier (I just plug the hard drives to the cable,
    so I don't have to remove the hard drive enclosure). This allows you to copy the master hard drive to 3 other drives at the same time. It takes about 17 minutes to transfer the master drive to 3 other drives. I purchased 3 of these units, which was much cheaper
    than purchasing one big unit that does more hard drives at the same time
    5. You'll want to do some cleanup after you've booted up a computer with the image. These commands (just put them in a .bat file and run as an administrator) will remove the unattend.xml files from the computer since they may include passwords and it will
    remove the master user account (I called mine SysPrep) since you don't need that anymore. I have a TON of other commands that created for more customization, but that's beyond the scope of this message.
    del /Q /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml
    del /Q /F c:\windows\panther\unattend.xml
    powershell -command "([ADSI]\"WinNT://$env:computername\").delete(\"user\",([ADSI]\"WinNT://$env:computername/SysPrep,User\").name.value)"
    Okay, one last thing, since you asked about the background image. There are ways to get a different background image and I think you can do this in the unattend.xml file, but I sort of cheated and just replaced the master background image with my own (if
    I remember correctly, the file was locked down, so I had to take ownership of it before I could replace it with my own). The downfall of this is that if you run a check/repair on your Windows system files (I can't remember the command for that) it'll "repair"
    this background image and restore the old one. Here's the default background image: C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg
    Here is the unattend.xml file that I created. You'll want to tweak it for your own. I take no responsibility if this messes up your system or doesn't work as expected, so make backups before using this. The magic of this unattend file is that the following
    two lines allow the image to retain your drivers and most of your user profile settings (custom toolbars and pinned programs will not be retained).

  • Desktop Wall Paper GPO is not working on XP client system

    Hi
    I 've a DOMAIN active directory server 2008. and also added some XP & Some window 7 Clients in this domain. I 've configure a policy thar all domain's clients desktop wallpaper would same.
    this policy is working fine on windows 7but on XP this policy is not working. I 've also try to set desktop wall paper from LOCAL GROUP POLICY of this client machine. but this is also not working.
    I am showing this wallper on my desktop.
    So kindly help me out that how apply desktop wallpaper policy on this XP system...
    I am showing this wallper  on my desktop as given below...

    Hi Manjesh Kaushik,
    Earlier version of the OS only support .bmp(bitmap) format to configure wallpaper where as enabling Active Desktop allows you to use range of formats including animation as well as web pages. Since, you are using JPEG, enable configure the option Enable
    Active Desktop setting in GPO. For your information, please refer to the following article:
    Customizing the Desktop

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

    Hi friends,
    Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
    if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Yogesh

    Hello Yogesh,
    Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
    If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
    => Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
    Call this in the program for resetting the password.
    => CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
    This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
    Hope this helps.
    PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.

  • How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

    Hello All,
    I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
    Thanks

    C:\users\All users
    JS
    Hi,
    I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
    Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
    Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
    Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
    Thank you.
