Is there a way to have everything the same on every machine on the network?

Is it possible to have the same icons, desktop, files, etc. appear on every machine a person logs in to on an open directory network?

Sure - it's called network home directories.
The user's home directory is stored on a central file server, typically running AFP. You change the user's Open Directory record to indicate their home directory is on this server, rather than the local /Users/<username> directory and you're set (other than synchronizing all the user's data from multiple machines, if you need to).
This is part of the standard user administration setup.

    I'm trying to update my Photoshop CS5, but continue to receive the same problem every time. The application manager update dialogue box simply states "some updates failed to install." There's no specific error code, but a link to contact support for further assistance. It doesn't take me to customer support, but does take me to a screen which states. "Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product." I've checked my account and the product serial number is associated with my account., so I don't see any problem.  I have not been able to find a resolution to this problem, so I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.  Thank you!

  • Is there a way to have photos apper with most recent first on the camera ios 8' iphone 6

    IS there a way to set my photos in ascending order rather than decending in my camera? I want the most recent first. Ios 8 iphone 6

    I just noticed this tonight! I'm kicking myself for updating iTunes! I have well over 30.000 photos and now they are all out of order.
    I upgraded to 10.6.3.25 and all the photos are sorted by date now and none of the sub-folders are recognized.
    This has happened before and it took them over a year to fix it. I wish they would give us a preference as to how we want our images displayed. The whole photo cache thing is so ridiculous! Mine is up to 11GB right now.

  • Is there a way to have a link from an external page show the top of the page on a PC?

    I really appreciate the help in these forums - have solved many an issue.  Am down to the last little thing.
    If you test the links on : www.muohio.edu/lll/tabbed-test on a Mac, each time you chose a link it goes to the top of the page.  This is the desired location.
    If you test the links on a PC, either with firefox or IE it uses the tabbed panel as the top.
    Is there a way to control this?
    THANKS!
    Berly

    In your document you have got <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels"> and in the link you have got  <li><a href="fla.html?tab=1#TabbedPanels1">Crisis Management</a></li>
    What some browsers will do when it sees the #TabbedPanels1 is take you to the spot which is down the page.
    Solution: remove #TabbedPanels1 from the link and all is well.

  • Is there a way toeither have 2 bookmark toolbars [BT] displayed or resize the one [BT] to show more bookmarks?

    I use quite a few different boookmarks quite regularly. I would like to display more bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar instead of having to use the drop down meny to the right at the end of the toolbar.
    IS there any way to do this by either resizeing the toolbar like windows taskbar does or adding multiple bookmark toolbars?

    You may shorten names so that more bookmarks fit, or nest folders so that they are themselves drop downs of bookmarks or of other folders. There is an add on that doubles the bookmarks toolbar I believe.
    Also if you use newer versions of Firefox there are [[what are app tabs?|app tabs]] and [[what are tab groups?|tab groups]].
    You probably are not even on the latest version of 3.6 and should consider updating, preferably to the latest release which will be Firefox 8 !

  • Is there a way to have all folders and files line up all the time by default?

    I was wondering if there was a way to get all files and folders on the desktop and within locations like Downloads and Documents to automatically align to grid by default without user intervention.

    Thanks!

    Mario's post explains, how to arrange in colums in Finder windows.
    You can use the same method to arrange the items on the Desktop:
    Click on the empty Desktop to select it and to bring the Finder forward, press  the key combination ⌘J.
    Select "Snap to Grid" and set the spacing and icon size.
    Select an option how you want to sort them, e.g. by kind.

  • Is there a way to have autogenerated columns in SSRS Report without declaring the column defination at design time.

    I just have a procedure in which i do have a dynamic query.It has certain parameter on the basis of which different set of columns will be returned in the result set. Now I want a SSRS report which can automatically pick up the columns from the Procedure
    result.without declaring column Names at Design Time(As i don't know which columns will come in the result set)
    PS:- I can't make separate matrix/table with their respective column names and show/hide them as I don't know which columns will come from procedure.
    Thanks
    Kanwar

    Can you please give a reference.I want a matrix or table to display the result set as is returned from the procedure.(Lets just say you keep the columns fixed).How without writing the column Names in table/matrix it automatically generates
    the columns similar to resultset.
    A bit of background for Understanding scenario:
    We want to give users the column names, arithmetic operators,etc.(From UI) and then send the query to SSRS. This query will be sent to SQL procedure(which is being used in RDL).What after that ??? . SSRS is not changing the result set dynamically.So as the
    result set is not definite i want table/matrix to populate the data returned from procedure automatically (without defining columns at design - time).
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to have multiple WSDL's in one machine?

    Hi!
    Some Netweaver/Dynpro programmers are asking me if it is posible to have more than one WSDL in the same server. For what? They want to separate the vendors process from the materials process from the customer process, because each time any of these process creates a new real time service and uploads it to the web services, all of the three programmers have to reimport the WSDL in to their models.
    Any help will be appreciated, please..
    See you and thank you very much.

    No, the Management Console has one WebService page. You would need to install the Management Console a second time for that.

  • Is there any way to have an image open in Camera Raw from the Organizer as I did in Bridge?

    I am just trying out PSE 9 as an upgrade from my PSE 8. I have been able to open jpeg files in Camera Raw right from Bridge. I seem unable to do this in Organizer and, since not all of my photos are in raw, I use this feature a lot. Is it possible to open a jpeg file by double clicking on the thumbnail as I presently do?

  • When you open a new tab, it opens "blank". Is there a way to have it open a pre-set page, like the homepage for example?

    Using your help system, it points out "pinned tabs". This may provide a useful alternative. However, my question stands, and I think the original Q is clear enough.
    Thanks
    Al

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • Is there a way to have iTunes show what is in the iTunes music folder?

    I have several folders that I moved from an old iTunes music folder into a newer one on a different HD. I just put the music into the folder, but not into iTunes. So now, I have a huge folder of music that doesn't show up in my iTunes library. I was cleaning off the HD to make room for something else, so I deleted the "old" iTunes folder with all the music in it. The music is in my new iTunes folder, but not in my iTunes program. Sorry this is so convoluted!
    What I want to know is this: Is there a way to have iTunes recognize and check for music in the iTunes folder that is not already in the iTunes program? Exactly what does consolidate library do? Could that solve the issue? I am a little intimidated because it says that it cannot be undone.
    Thanks,
    Jim
