Login Names always display

Hello!I'm unsure if this is an issue or a feature. Skype shows login names instead of display names unless I have them added. As an example, supposing a user has the login name example000, and the display name The Best Example, it defaults to showing example000. To get it to display The Best Example, I must add the user to my contacts. I am in a couple group chats and haven't added everyone. It seems everyone else defaults to seeing display names. Is there some setting I'm missing, since I went through Options and failed to find a solution myself? I'd prefer to default to seeing display names instead of login names - it's hard to keep track of who's who. I did think it was an issue with my settings and reset everything, but it still continues to show login names. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype too, but the issue remains. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Hi Ashok,
I wouldn't change the users logon name, I would instead create an application item which is set to the user's freindly name on login.
This could be displayed as a navigation bar entry, but as navigation bar entries are by definition navigation links, this could get confusing if it doesn't actually link to anything. it would probably be better if you changed the template to display the application item next to the navigation bar entries.

Something remembers my mail login name (in yahoo mail and other applications) so that as soon as the first letter is typed in the "name box" the rest of my login name is displayed. How can I stop it remembering this name?

I presume I have an autofill turned on somewhere as in a number of boxes I just type in the first letter and the remainder of stuff I have typed in the past is displayed. In some instances I do not want this information to be available to others. Please can someone tell me where this info is stored so I can delete some of it.

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

I have an airport extreme 2013. Why does my airport utility sometimes display IP addresses and other times the names of the devices? I want it to always display the device names.

The utility has had less and less useful information .. it might be time to simply find a different utility.
Fing network scanner. iphone and ipad.

This is very popular.. I do not know of what works well on Mac OS because i have installed 5.6 utility which of course has far more info than the later toy version. Plus using an Asus router which has excellent listing of all the clients.
Sometimes beating yourself up to make apple routers do what you want is easier solved with lateral thinking.

Displaying Login name in Application

Hi, all my applicaitons currently show the login of the user in the top right corner of the screen next to the logout link. Is there any way to customise this so I can show the actual name of the user stored in the database instead of their login name?Perhaps along with the date of their last login?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi,
Create application item and compute value you like use. Then go edit your page template and replace substitution &APP_USER.or#WELCOME_USER# with your application item.

Can I use the Registry to change the Login Name used in Note Tool?

If adding notes in browser-based review, you cannot edit the Author name used in the note tool. Its uses the fixed Windows login name shown in Edit > Preferences > Identity.
If you turn off the "Always use Log-in name for Author name" setting, the Author can be changed when adding notes in Acrobat itself, but the Author is fixed to the Windows login name in browser-based review.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knows if this can be changed in the Registry? I've found the login field name here (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor) but it unfortunately does not update the Author field.

Good afternoon!
You can replicate this in Acrobat 8 as follows:
- In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Commenting, turn off "Always use Log-in Name for Author Name"
- Open a PDF in Acrobat > Add a Note > Right-click Properties > General tab > Rename the Author to "TESTING" > Click "Make Properties Default" > Click OK
- Set up a Network Folder Online Comments Repository as follows: In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Reviewing, set Server Type to "Network Folder" and browse for a folder to save comments to.
- Open Registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor
- tauthor should be showing "TESTING" that we entered earlier
- Open a browser window and drag a PDF into it
- Add a Note, the Author name is fixed to be the Windows Login name.

Cannot change login Name in Preferences

Login Name will not update. I need my edits to a document to come up with my name, not a former collegue.

Hi ElB7,
To change the author name of comments:
Open the Acrobat or Reader preferences and click the Commenting category.
Deselect Always Use Log-in Name for Author.
Create a comment.
Right-click the comment and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
Change the Author name on the General tab to your name. Select Make Current Properties Default.
Click OK.
Please let us know if that did the trick!
Best,
Sara

Report not display Int.meas Unit, always display commercial

Hi
I have one question, in Bex Reports or Web Reports in our Portal we see some information about Unit of Measure, for example Quantity and the corresponding unit of measure, in one repor I saw UOM "CJ", but internaly the information is "CS", I review in SPRO, and this unit of measure is defined
Int. meas Unit : CS
Commercial: CJ
I read in the help that this is because the report always display commercial name, but I have the requirement that we need to display int. Mead unit, do you know if this is possible?
Just for query reports (I designed my query in query designer and display sometimes in BEX analyzer and other times in Portal).
Thank you for your help.
Alice

Thank you Yogeshu, and when you say about SPRO, mean like configure one registr more with Internal and comercial equal?
like
CS --- CS
Instead of
CS -- CJ
thank you

How do I set the finder column view to always display the "thin" column edges?

Sometimes finder switches to display thick column edges. These screen shots were taken 5 min apart, after a restart. I would love to know to to make sure it always displays the thin version.
Side note: does anyone know how to open new columns that automatically resize to fit the largest file name.....? Having to constantly resize columns is really irritating.

it can not display what has not been downloaded, for them to be the same I assume you have chosen to leave messages on the server.
Date: is set by the sender and has nothing to do with a delivery date in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird is displaying the date the message arrived in Thunderbird, what is in the date: header?
Received: is a series of transmission points and following the instructions below will display the latest.
* Select Tools/Options from the main menu.
* Click Config Editor.
* If a warning displays, click “I’ll be careful, I promise!”.
* Locate the mailnews.customDBHeaders preference, e.g. by typing “dbh” in the Filter field. Double click it, or select and press Enter.
* If the preference was not set previously, type “Received” and click OK. If some extension has already populated the preference, add “ Received” to the end of the list of headers, separating it with space.
* Close the Config Editor and restart Thunderbird.

Config Tool - Login name and password

Hi,
When I Launch the Config tool, it normally connect to the database directly without prompting for login name and password. Where does it get login information from and where does it store these information.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Vince

It always runs on the local machine where you Java stack is installed and connects to the default database schema (Java). You can look at the config.properties file under C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\configtool for details

PowerShell Script Get the User's Active Directory Fully Qualified Login Name for Specific Locked Out Accounts

I have a script which displays locked out accounts. It works great.
I'd like to display the fully qualified Active Directory Login Name instead of the LastName, First Name:
Example: Davis, Susan
Want instead: Domain\Susan.Davis
I'd also like to include an additional filter to look for only Domain\Susan.Davis OR Domain\Robin.Givens
Here is my script:
$objDomain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$objSearcher.SearchRoot = $objDomain
$objSearcher.PageSize = 1000
$objSearcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=User)(lockoutTime>=1))"
$colProplist = "name","samaccountname"
foreach ($i in $colPropList){$objSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($i) | out-null}
$colResults = $objSearcher.FindAll()
foreach ($objResult in $colResults) {
$domainname = $objDomain.name
$samaccountname = $objResult.Properties.samaccountname
$user = [ADSI]"WinNT://$domainname/$samaccountname"
$ADS_UF_LOCKOUT = 0x00000010
if(($user.UserFlags.Value -band $ADS_UF_LOCKOUT) -eq $ADS_UF_LOCKOUT) {
$objResult.Properties.name

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the cmdlets I'm using are part of the Active Directory module. You'll need to install the RSAT (Win7+) to use them.
If you'd rather stick with your DirectorySearcher methods instead of moving to the AD module, you can adjust your output by using something like this instead:
if(($user.UserFlags.Value -band $ADS_UF_LOCKOUT) -eq $ADS_UF_LOCKOUT) {
"$domainname\$($objResult.Properties.samaccountname)"
$domainname might not be what you're expecting, just FYI.
As for filtering, you can add to the if statement and check for your known usernames only.

Request.getRemoteUser() to find out login name using NtlmFilter

can we implement request.getRemoteUser() without using NtlmHttpFilter.
Actually, i do not want to uise the filter because i am already using a filter.
So can we make any declaration of the Ntlm class and use it such that we can easily access the login name without using the Ntlm Filter in the DD(web.xml)?
A timely response will be highly appreciated.

E51 - incoming caller name not displayed

Hello,
I am having this bizarre problem with my new E51.
I cannot see any details of incoming calls. Moreover when I go to missed calls, it always displays as 'unknown'.
All contacts have their first name and last name populated correctly. Also I have downloaded latest softwares (firmware etc).
Has anyone else had this issue? How can I correct this?
TIA,

got it solved!
Phone can't handle dubble nr's if a nr is used twice it doesn't show. Say cards you sync with complete info (home office mobile) will mix up if you had, say just a mobile nr in your phone. And if his office is in your phone on it's own name your phone doesn't know what name to show.
so you have to delete all dubble nr's
good luck
