Locking down call forwarding

I just started a new job, this company doesn't want call forwarding from phones but one of the high level vendors was allowed to have his phone sent to just one number. The last technician figured out how to disallow the change of the forwarding number he set in call manager. I can't for the life of me figure out how he did it. When I set a number in call manager the phone is still allowed to change the number locally and reset it in call manager. I'm really interested to know how he did this.

Hi
In case you want to lock down the call forwarding, you can just remove the CFA button from the softkey template from all the phones. This would prevent users from doing from the phone.
The only option would now be the ccm end user page. In case you want to remove from there as well, use the following enterprise parameter on CCM Administration page :
Show Call Forwarding :This parameter determines whether end users can configure all, none, or specific call forwarding
directives for their phone(s) when using the Cisco Unified CM User Options (ccmuser) window. Call forwarding
options are not provided regardless of the setting in this parameter if the phone template assigned to the user's device does not support call forwarding
With this, what ever CFA settings you put on the phone, users won;t be able to change that.

Aditya

Forward facing locked down machines... kiosk?

Hey everyone,
So I have done a lot of research on this topic, but have yet to find an end-all solution to my conundrum. I have many machines in my network that are forward facing and public use reference terminals that connect to a database of books and things. These
machines are not and should not be used to casual internet browsing so we have manually locked them down. These machines currently run IE10 Win7x32. The windows side locking down is no problem. But we are having a BIG issue with the current way we allow specific
sites and lock out all others.
In our system, we have an abundance of allowed sites for quick research purposes that these machines are allowed to access. Still technically reference information. For the sake of argument, we have about 25 sites including the main database site that should
be allowed through a proxy or other filtering system. Currently, we have this proxy based with exceptions built into IE... however, there is around a 255 char limit on that input box (for whatever reason).
So that brings me to my current solution that is not quite working correctly. I have configured a .PAC script and stored it on a server that these machines can access and an msi for IE10 branding using the IEAK for IE10. This .PAC script does not seem to
be working the way it should. I got the idea from a site I didn't save, but the basic idea is below:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
// variable strings to return
var proxy_yes = "PROXY 255.255.255.255:8080";
var proxy_no = "DIRECT";
if (shExpMatch(url, "*.google.com")) { return proxy_no; }
// Proxy anything else with yes
return proxy_yes;
So, my understanding is this would run when sites are accessed, if it matches the if statements it passes and if it doesn't, it defaults to proxy_yes which doesn't exist and thus doesn't load. The ADMX configures the proxy itself and everything should be
great.
My main question: is there a better way to allow sites through to a machine WITHOUT loading the pages first. A simple whitelist/blacklist doesn't necessarily work because it, as far as I understand, still loads the pages but does not display them. Currently,
it looks like IEAK is the only way to correctly manipulate these settings in internet explorer 10+, unless I'm getting that wrong. It doesn't seem like the list from our previous installation from GP is being overridden using this method, and it doesn't
apply to new machines connected to the policy. Of course, I know it is applying because other functions, like the content rating system that I accidentally left on, have caused some problems in the past.
We will be upgrading these machines to newer optiplex models and installing Windows 8, so if there is a more effective solution that only works in windows 8, I am willing to try it.
Thanks in advance for the help, you guys are always awesome!

Hi,
>>Currently, it looks like IEAK is the only way to correctly manipulate these settings in internet explorer 10+, unless I'm getting that wrong.
In addition to IEAK 10, to configure proxy for IE 10 on Windows 7, if our most up-to-date domain controller is Windows Server 2012 or R2, we can use Group Policy Preferences
Internet Settings extension to configure the proxy setting. Besides, we can also choose to install Remote Server Administrative Tools on a Windows 8 or 8.1 client and manage group policy settings from this client.
Moreover, another way is that we can try using Group Policy Preferences Registry extension to configure the proxy settings for IE10 on Windows 7.
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to as reference.

Iphone 5 and 5s visual voicemail and call forwarding problems in UK

Hi
I am in the UK on a monthly pay 4G package with O2 with my iphone 5S.
Every two or three days, visual voicemail switches off saying there is an error with visual voicemail. When this happens, voicemails are left for me, but the caller does not hear my personalised OGM and I have to call in to listen to voicemails - and I get no notification of new voicemails. If I power down my iphone and switch it back on, visual voicemail is restored. But then a day or two later, it all happens again
Another thing I have noticed, is that when I switch my iphone back on after having powered it down, the call forward icon appears on the phone, even though I have not set call forwarding. To celar this I go into settings - phone - call forwarding. this shows that call forwardins is indeed off, and as soon as i reach that screen in settings, the call forwarding icon goes away - and so does my 4G connection. I then have 3G connection for a while and then magically 4G returns after several minutes.
Thsi is all comepletely repeatable - happens every time
Yesterday I noticed that exactly the same things are happening on my wife's iphone 5 - and she is on an EE package
We are both on IOS 7.1
What is going on?

lbay wrote:
Immediately after going through the carry-on x-ray scanner at Newark airport, my 5S touch screen screen became unresponsive. I could not tap icons. I could not swipe pages. I could not turn off the phone because I could not swipe the confirmation message. I could use the fingerprint sensor to ask Siri to Google for help, and Safari did open with a list of Google search results. Surprisingly, I could use the touchscreen to scroll up and down the list of search results, but it would not respond to any taps, so I could not open any of the links. I finally did a hard reset and when the phone did come back on, all was well. This is the second time that this has happened immediately after x-ray, and these two times were the only times that this has happened, despite many trips.
Then there was something else unique about those two times that affected the device, either environmental or circumstantial.

Call Forwarding Breaks with iOS 8.3 Update on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with AT&T

Ever since the iOS 8.3 Update, call forwarding is no longer working on my iPhone 6 Plus. I have spent dozens of hours troubleshooting with both AT&T Advanced Business Technical Support as well as many hours with top technicians from Apple at my local Genius Bars.
This is a critical bug for me as I used to use the call forwarding option multiple times a day, EVERY DAY, because when I am in certain business locations my mobile phone gets no reception and calls go right to voice mail. I need to have them forwarded to the land line I'm located at.
APPLE, PLEASE HELP!!!
I've done extensive testing, and this seems definitely to be related to Apple iOS 8.3, and it seems to be specific to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus ONLY.
To illustrate the EXACT problem:
A: Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding
B. Call Forwarding - Turn on
C. Enter Number and return to previous screen by touching the blue "Call Forwarding" to return to previous screen.
D. Call forwarding button is "green" for a split second, then returns to previous OFF state and no forwarding number is displayed. DOES NOT WORK.
NOT AN AT&T PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING THIS WITH OTHER CARRIERS PLEASE COMMENT HERE.
Further validation this is isolated to iOS 8.3 on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus ONLY and not the sim card from AT&T...
Here are the latest steps I did with my AT&T sim card and my wife AT&T sim card (she has an iPhone 5s):
1. Removed my sim and put it in the 5s. The phone said that a "carrier update" was required and I selected "NO" to that prompt. Call forwarding functionality worked as expected on the 5s running iOS 8.3
2. I removed the sim from the 5s and re-inserted it. This time I selected "YES" to do the carrier update to eliminate that as a variable, and the call forwarding functionality still worked as expected.
3. I then placed my wifes sim in my 6 Plus. Call forwarding functionality does NOT work on the 6 Plus (was not prompted for carrier update). Also, keep in mind this is my second phone (Apple provided me with a new iPhone 6 Plus when they couldn't resolve the problem at the Genius Bar after hours of troubleshooting).
Note: I did one additional test which as interesting: I put my sim in the 5s and turned call forwarding "on". Then, I put the sim back into my 6 Plus. The calls were still being forwarded to the number I put in while it was in the 5s, but the call forwarding interface in the 6 Plus showed that it was NOT forwarding calls. I could not turn OFF the call forwarding from the 6 Plus and had to put the sim back into the 5s in order to turn off the call forwarding.
If anyone has an update on this, or any other suggestions please advise! This is a critical issue for me as when I travel and when I am in poor areas of reception I need to forward calls. This is a featured I was using multiple times a day, EVERY DAY.
APPLE????????? HELP!!!!!!

Yes, I am dealing with this right now on at&t with a 6 plus. I've been down the same road as you. I got it to work with a windows phone yesterday but not my 6 plus when I switched back to the iPhone. My wifes 6 works fine. I believe it is an at&t issue and not an 8.3 issue. After dealing through several levels of support at at&t, they are telling me it has to do with their transition to hd voice. Some people are having this issue because they are updating their system and some peoples phone profile, on phones that have hd voice capabilities, are not getting added to their line and call forwarding will not work without it. I have a trouble ticket open to their engineering dept and they promise it will work for me on or before the 24th of april. Engineering has to build my phones profile so call forwarding will work with my iPhone.
This is frustrating because like you, I need to forward my calls because I have no signal in my office and need to forward to another phone so I can get my calls. If at&t would quit dragging their feet and enable wifi calling, this wouldn't be an issue for me. I would suggest you put more pressure on at&t and escalate this until it gets resolved. Or put your sim in a phone that does not have hd voice capability and see if it works then.
Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be fixed for me on or before the 24th. We'll see.
EDIT: I see you did put it in another phone and it worked. That backs up that the issue is at&t and their hd voice upgrades. They had no explanation as to why some work and some don't, but have them make sure a profile for your phone is on the line. If not, they'll need to build one for the phone so that it''l work. At least that's the story for now. Like I said, I'll know more in a day or two.

Call forwarding when I didn't request it?

If you call our home phone, it rings once, then goes to busy. If you call back immediately thereafter, you get a fax machine tone (!). One the home end, if you pick it up i after the first ring, you might get the caller, but otherwise you get a dial tone.
This has been going on for several days now. The lines have been tested from the sentral office several times now and we don't think that's an issue.
I called Verizon last week; they did something Friday morning (remotely; I don't know what, we weren't home as they did whatever it was they said they did before the time that they had said they would come) and it was fixed then, but Saturday it went back again.
It looks and sounds for all the world as if our home phone number has been forwarded to a fax machine.
We don't have call forwarding service, and I have tried the *73 several times just to be safe, but to no effect.
Before I call again and end up missing another day of work to wait for a repair that won't come when promised -- any ideas?
Thanks much

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Data network locked down when usb tethering with a lot of request (i.e. 3 to 4 tab pages and IRC)

Hi, i am currently using the usb tethering on my ubuntu desktop(this also happened in win8 desktop) which the data network will be locked down when open 3 to 4 tab pages in 3-4 seconds or requesting large amount of data traffic (i.e. downloading movie)
This locked down will be recovered only after a few minutes (4 minutes at least) when there is no more request maked.
OR reboot the phone again.
This doesn't affect receiving calls, only the data network is locked down
I do see this is a software problem as i have asked for a exchange for phone, the same thing happened again.
Does anyone get the same problem as i experienced?
The firmware is v.114
Thanks for help

Hi z1CUser
based on your information, i believe there is not problem with the phone, since even second phone is doing same thing as first, what I can suggest is
>check with different phone if possible and see whether it does same, incase 'Yes" then its might be with the internet connection i believe, you can give a call to Internet Service Provider, stating the issue faced in 2 different phones
>if possible Refresh the Router and try to connect it again
>Last you can try to restore the phone once

HTC Droid DNA - How to enable Call Forwarding in GSM mode in International Network

Hi,
I have bought HTC Droid DNA (Verizon) from ebay in India and I am able to use any 2G or 3G GSM network as it not locked by Verizon however there is no option to enable CALL Forwarding in phone settings.
Please help me and let me know how to enable call forwarding in HTC Droid DNA in GSM mode,

I don't think you can, call forwarding is enabled by Verizon here in the states. Maybe check with your carrier?

Locked down security and running captivate clips

I am relatively new to Captivate. And in trying to publish I
have run accross a roadblock. We have locked down security so much
that most of my audience cannot open the files. When trying to
Publish as an SWF they are seeing Active X messages and then when
they agree, the window stays blank or they get a message that
windows blocked the software because it can’t determine the
publisher. If they try to run it as an executable they do not have
rights either. Can you give me ideas on how to make this available
with very limited rights?

Hi TC64
I believe what may be happening here is that the messages are
appearing because of the external JavaScript reference. (Captivate
versions 2 & 3 normally reference a JavaScript file called
"standard.js") Oddly enough, this is done in an effort to bypass
the "Click to activate and use this control" message that only IE
presents.
One way to work past the need for the standard.js file is
described in a section of fellow Adobe Certified Captivate
Instructor John Daigle's article about working with Captivate and
RoboHelp. You may view it by
clicking
here. Pay close attention to how he is describing the
JavaScript modifications.
This may or may not totally resolve your issue, but it's
certainly worth a try!
Cheers... Rick

SPA942 randomly getting set on Calls Forwarded

I have 8 SPA942 and 2 SPA504G Linksys/Cisco IP phones on a freePBX phone system and they randomly get set to Calls Forwarded and the phones randomly get locked where it asks for a password to access call log etc. I reset the phones to default reset all settings and the phones work, but still these issues come up, with or without a password being set on the phones, using firmware 6.1.5a on the SPA942 phones.
I have setup the phone system a second time from scratch and still this issue comes up. I cannot find any reason why the phones would randomly get set to calls forwarded, nor can I find any evidence that someone is logging into the phones and setting or changing the password.
Don't know where to go from here?
Sincerely,
Matt Wyckoff

Turn on syslog & debug and catch all the messages sent from the phone (or all phones). It will help you with the further analysis.

HELP - Macbook Pro Locked Down

Ok, to make a long story short, I bought a used Macbook Pro and the password I was given is not working. The person I bought the computer from seemed fishy, I should have realized something was wrong before agreeing to buy the computer. The computer seems like it is a demo machine from an Apple Store or some other retail store. It is locked down and I can not gain access to the administrator account. I have tried everything I found on the internet. I called Apple up to inquire about this machine to see if it is marked/reported as being fraudlent/stolen/counterfiet and they confirmed the serial number is fine and it is an official apple computer. They said I have hardware support until end of March 2011, but no longer have software support. Oh by the way, I am new to Macs, this is my first Mac, so I'm not familiar with them. Not a very good first experience. I guess its my fault for buying a used computer without receiving the install/backup disks.
Below is a summary of what is happening and what I tried:
When I turn the computer on, it logs in fine. Everything seems to function fine. But if I try to do anything administratively it asks for password and I can not do anything.
I tried the following things:
- entering single user mode, removing the AppleSetupDone file. After I reboot from that, it just logs in as normal and doesn't prompt for new account. When I went back into single user mode, the AppleSetupDone file was back.
- entered single user mode, changing password via command line. Seems like it changes fine with no errors. After I reboot, logs in fine and I try password I changed to and it doesn't accept it.
- Tried putting OS 10.6.3 into DVD and booting from that by holding c key, but it ends up going to grey screen with Apple logo and does nothing.
- Tried putting OS 10.6.3 into DVD and pressing "Option" key while booting to choose which device to boot from. I choose DVD and it goes to grey screen with Apple logo and does nothing.
- I tried formating the hard drive, went to single user mode, did a rm -rf / Seemed like it erased the hard drive, so I figured it has to boot from DVD. Well when I turned on computer, it booted fine and logged in as normal. Went back into single user mode and everything was restored as was.
- Tried clearing the PRAM and NVRAM thinking maybe there was something in the non-volatile memory, but that did nothing. Logged in as normal and still would not allow me to boot from DVD.
Someone suggested the firmware was password protected, but I had read if you hold the option key down while booting that a lock would appear if the firmware was password protected and that didn't happen, I got the HD or DVD options to boot.
Seems like the computer is locked down somehow to restrict anyone from modifying anything and at bootup, it restores everything to original state. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Does anyone know how Apple stores lock down their demo computers to avoid customers from modifying them? Is there something in the hardware? Are there jumpers set somewhere that could be causing the machine to do a unique protected/recovery bootup? Someone mentioned pulling the hard drive and formatting it in another computer. Do you think this would do it for me?
Thank you for the help,
Kevin

Proof? I bought it used from someone. All I have is the computer and charger. When I talked to the Apple representative on the phone about the serial number, he said the machine has not been registered yet. So what would the proof be?

CUPC 8.6 call forward to voicemail

Hi!
I am using Cisco Personal Communicator (CUPC) 8.6 and also CUCM 8.6. I have CUPC in Deskphone mode, connected to a 6945 IP Phone. I also have Unity Connection where my voicemail box is hosted. When I want to setup call forward to voicemail button in cupc option, it is not working. CUPC will not handle the options I setup seconds before. If I manually put in a call forward to extension number of voice mail pilot call forwarding is working. also call forwarding to my mobile is working.
I checked End User settings, IP Phone is associated to my user, also CTI controll is enabled on device and line settings. user privileges are correct. I tried it on jabber client where it works fine. I also restarted CTI and Callmanager Services on the Servers.
Does anyone has an Idea if this is a general bug in CUPC or does anyone can tell me what the problem might be?
Thanks!
René

Hi,
If at least one of these phones is set to CF to VM then it will, if not, then no.
If none of your phones is set to CF to VM CUCM will not send them to VM, that is expected, if you need to ring, phone A, and if it is not answered to go to phone B, C... and so on, and send the caller to VM after you have reached all of these then use a hunt group, (the pilot can be set to CF to VM if nobody answers), if you need to ring all phones at the same time so someone can pick this up, use a hunt group with a broadcast logic.
If this is for a single user, check 'single number reach' (SNR) or mobility on CUCM.
Bottom line, there is no way to send a caller to VM if none of the phones is set to CF to VM.
HTH

How to delete the number saved in CALL FORWARDING list?

how to delete the number saved in CALL FORWARDING list? seems like the number cannot be deleted in CALL FORWARDING list, i tried several times...
he thing is, here are three numbers in the call forwarding list, one of them were set up by mistake, and none of them can be deleted.......it brothers me all the time. i already turn it off, but the number list is still there...

Hello dennis130915 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The image you have uploaded is unable to be displayed.
Call Forwarding is a carrier controlled feature. Most likely, the number you see could be for the Voice Mail server.
It's advised you call your mobile service provider to further assist with this feature.
Thanks!

Call forwarding on iPhone4. I am sick of trying but once I input the number and go back to call forwarding, it turns off call forwarding. Any idea why

tried the simple way of call forwarding going in to settings>call forwarding> turn on call forwarding> enter number> return to call forwarding
but the status is going back to 'off' from 'on'
I also tried *61*number# but there again its failing. Can someone assist please?

Who is your carrier? Not all carriers support enabling and disabling call forwarding using the controls in Settings.

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.
