Is there a way to ALWAYS prompt user before allowing server restart or shutdown

Is there a way to always prompt the user for credentials (or some other type of prompt) before restarting/shutting down a Windows Server? We are looking for a way to prevent accidentally shutting down a server. I know there is the Shutdown Event Tracker
that prompts for a reason why the server is being restarted, which is good, but the problem we ran into was after one of our Admins installed some software / Windows Updates, he was prompted with a "The server will need to be rebooted before the changes
will be applied. Do you want to restart now?" dialog, and he accidentally hit Yes. When doing this, the Shutdown Event Tracker does not prompt the user (I assume the Windows Update automatically fills in all the fields), it just restarts the server.
So we are looking for a prompt for these scenarios as well.
So basically I'm wondering if there is a way to configure Windows Server to ALWAYS prompt the user before any shutdown or restart event, whether it is from a Windows Update, using the GUI Shutdown buttons, or the commands from a command prompt. Ideally
it would be a credentials prompt, to ensure the user is really being purposeful about restarting the server, and not just quickly clicking a button before thinking about what the prompt is asking for.

Hi, I would add to Ed that it can cause problem too with scripted task, as if you program in example a planned restart in the night in example, that mean someone must be there to click the button.
The best approch for you would be to give them the RSAT administration kit, so then can manage what they want without being logged on.

Is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle db

Can Any one tell me, is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle database.

Hello Nunhum,
I guess this was not my question.. This is not what I m asking.. I know there is not a single sql statement in oracle ,which could create multiusers alike UNIX/LINUX(OS LEVEL), Whatever you have written..is simple creating them one by one.
What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

Is there a way to force a user to view all of Accordion Widget?

Is there a way to force a user to read, or at least view,
all sections of the Accordion Widget? We want to make sure the learner reads
all of the material before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to do
this? I have searched all over, but I have been unable to find.

No way. This is a static learning interaction, no event that could be used eventually. Personally I prefer offering reading material that is engaging over looking for a way to push the learner to look (reading doesn't mean he understands or grabs it) at all the stuff. But that is my teacher's past, if student doesn't read your stuff, something is wrong with the stuff, not with the student.
If you have to force, you'll have to find another way than the accordion interaction .

Is there a way for a form user to load graphics and text in same field?

I am aware that you can load text into a text field and graphics into an image field. However, I would like to load a document containing text and graphics (e.g., MS Word or RTF) into a single field on a PDF form. Is there any way to do this?

Paul,
I believe that the example of attaching a file that you have provided will solve the problem. I am using LiveCycle Designer, so using the code that is in your example should be no problem. The end-user will use Adobe Reader, so as you mentioned, I will use Acrobat to extend the features so that the form can be used by Reader.
Thanks so much for your help,
Daniel

It is part of the PDF AcroForm side of things .....Are you using Reader or Acrobat to fill the form. If Reader then you will have to Reader Extend to make this work ....if Acrobat then you simply need to add some code. I have attached a sample that shows you how to do it if you want it.

Is there a way to get a user login record after sleep?

I know that by opening terminal and typing in "last" (without the quote marks) that it will give me about a 3 week record of who has logged on my computer after shutdowns and restarts.
What I want to know is this:
a) Is there a way to get a user login record after the computer only goes to sleep?
b) is there a way to get the terminal to go back further than just 3 weeks or so for the shutdown/restart records?
Is there software that might do this???
Thanks in advance, this is important for me.

"man gzip" will give you the details for using gzip
My first question can be explained this way: To get into the computer when it is coming out of sleep you need to type in a password, then it opens to the desktop. Is there a way I can find out the times over the course of a day/week/month that this is being done? i.e., is there a log being made somewhere of when the computer is being opened and signed onto after being asleep?
When you wake the computer from a sleep, you are not logging in again so there will be
no record of the event as a "login"
My computer possibly could be used by a few other people that have access to my computer password (don't ask why) and I basically want to know if they are signing on when I am away from my desk.
You may want to look at /var/log/asl.log or /var/log/secure.log which contain details of
authentication attempts (which is what you are doing) and failures.
I am not asking why you have multiple people accessing your computer with your password --
but consider setting up separate username, it is a lot easier to manage and you will probably
not be asking questions like this one.

Hi ameryfromny;
We can place a pagebreak before the Heading or Sub-Heading manually prior to or even after creating a Table of Contents. So that the Heading or Sub-Heading is placed always on top of a page.
To create a Table of Contents:
Under Format panel, define paragraph text as Title, Subtitle, Heading, Heading2 ..... and so on for displaying in TOC.
After completion of document writing, place cursor where a TOC is to be displayed.
Insert > Table of Contents > Document
A table of contents generates automatically.

Is there a way to notify/alert users about records from PSA

Hi All,
During transaction data load in BW 3.5 I am using the option" No update of transaction data if Master data does not exist" in the Infopackage.
If any records don't meet this criteria they will show in different Request in PSA.
My question: Is there a way to notify/alert users about these records from PSA?.
Through process chain we can't send any alerts in this case as loads will not fail.
Please help.
Thank you.
Sree

Brian, Accepeted. We can not create Infoset on PSA.

Is there a way to enable root user using terminal?

Hi
If all you're seeing is bash-3.2# you are logged in as root. Type exit followed by a return. What do you see now?
I think most of your questions could be answered with some judicious reading? Download as many admin manuals you can:

Is there a way to keep music & playlists on a server?

We've become a multi-computer household recently, but not enough for everyone to be on their own computer, so in my house you grab any free computer when you can. I want to be able to synch up my iPod with any computer that becomes free. I've learned how to move my library to an external drive, so my guess it's no big difference if that external drive is a served one. But is there a way to have the playlists and such served as well?
Extra credit question (not iTunes): should I even bother trying to run Xserve from my 233 MHz G3?

It sounds like you issue could be bigger than just iTunes.
You said that with a limited number of computers at home, you try and
"grab a free one." You've resorted to an external HD for you iTunes library
and Photos, right?
I think I would try moving my ENTIRE user folder to the external HD - i.e. /Users/<name>. And attaching that HD evertime I wanted to use a computer.
*WARNING!! Geek Speak! Also, I've done the following with other Unix and/or Linux systems, but not yet with OS X. *
The way to do this is by creating the same user (a new account) on all computers, being careful to name the account exactly the same on each machine, AND making sure the UID/GID is the same on every machine for this new account (use Netinfo Manager to be sure.) You will need administrator access to to this, and PLEASE do this using a different local Administrator account than the account you are trying to create.
Once that is done, attach the External HD to the first computer. Using Terminal or X11, open a shell (command prompt window,) go to /Users and blow away the new user <name> folder with "rm -r <name>". Then create a symbolic link to the External HD's user folder using "ln -s /Volumes/External HD/Users/<name> <name>". This makes the "Users/<name>" file structure on the External HD look like it lives under the target computer's Users folder.
Since OS X is basically Unix, this should make all of your applications treat your data as if it existed physically on the target computer.
In normal use, make sure that the target computer is logged into a different account when attaching the external drive - AND BEFORE you login to your
"attached" account. Then logout of your new account before Ejecting the External HD.
This should give you access to everything in your User folder on ANY computer. Just a word of caution, all computers that you'd like to enable this on should have the same OS version, and application versions - else you could be trying to access a new format file with an older application - not ussually a problem with Macs.

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.
