Is there a way to duplicate a User Account when setting up an iMac

I have a lab of 30 iMac computers.  I am planning on imaging 29 of them from 1 master machine.  In the process of setting this one machine up, I need to create 4 user accounts that will have identical settings, but will simply have different names.  Each account is for a different period of the Intro to Video Class I teach.  Instead of having to go through each User account and change each setting, can I create one profile and then make copies of this profile and rename it to the different class periods I teach.  These User accounts are not administrator accounts.  The will have limited access. 

Thank you for your replies.  I am setting up one machine perfectly, so that I can use that machine to image the other 29 machines. My issue is that in setting up the one perfect machine I need to create 6 different User Accounts on the machine. Four of the User Accounts are perfectly identical except for the name of the User Account. It takes a lot of time to set up the Dock and all the user preferences of each of these User Accounts. I am looking for a way to duplicate the User Accounts so that I can same some time.  I want to create one user account, set it up with all the details and then duplicate it three more times.

  • Is there a way to create a user account that "expires", or self deletes itself after a set amount of time?

    I am hoping to find a way to create an Admin account for our parent body that can be used for items at home, "adding printers, software, wireless settings, etc...), but have that account either "expire" or self delete itself after say 72 hours?
    Thoughts?
    Jesse

    Will they be needing to keep files saved for a while?  I'm guessing no, since you're ok with it auto-deleting after a short while.
    You could just use the guest user:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11321
    But I'm not aware of any way that you could setup an account to expire.

  • Error Creating New User Accounts when Setting Terminal Services Attribute

    We have just started receiving this error when new users are being created in our domain as part of the new hire process. Does anywhere have any pointers on where to look and what to look for?
    ErrorError
    com.waveset.util.WavesetException: WTSQueryUserConfig() failed - Attribute: 'Terminal Services Home Directory Drive' Error: The specified user does not exist.
    Is this something that would indicate that AD isn't replicating across multiple domain servers yet, and thus when it tries to set this attibute this command isn't finding the account? If that is the case is there a way to have a retry put in?

    May I ask what version of IDM you're running?
    There's a known bug that relates to this functionality. A quick review shows it's a pretty close match (not 100%) to what you described.
    Bug 20728: Setting AD 'Terminal Services Local Home Directory' to null in IdM results in WTSSetUserConfig error
    It's fixed in 8.1.0.3(or later), 8.0.0.10(or later), or 7.1.1.14(or later).

  • How do I duplicate a user account?

    I have the main admin account which I installed all the software and I want to create a user account that is also an admin that I will work in. When I go to this new account some of the previously installed software is no longer registered. I don't want to have to reauthorize all the software. Is there a way to make this work? Is there a way to duplicate a user? Or is there a way to make sure my software will work in newly created users?
    thanks,
    chris

    What you can try is to copy the "~/Library" folder from the "old" user accout to the new one. But back up the new user's library first, I can't guarantee that the new user will work AT ALL after this procedure, so be sure to have a backup....

  • 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.

    Thanks, Dave: so this is what I type in the terminal? "ls -l /var/log/wtmp*" (without the quotes). And how do you unzip something that has been "gzipped"?
    "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.

  • 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.
