Managed (mcx) preferences ONLY works for Computer Groups (Lists)

AD Server 2008 R2 with extended schema.
Macs (ML 10.8.5) bound to AD, mcx settings were created for Computer Groups , User Groups (AD security groups), Users
but ONLY Computer Lists settings apply on the local machine (ANY, not just one)
I can see it with mcxquery
Anybody has an idea why that could be & how to sort it, so it DOES apply to user, user groups as well?
Seb

Turned out that my user existed as LOCAL user (same name/pass as AD)
In that way ONLY Machine MCX applies
Renaming local user & login with AD user applies Preferences correctly

Workgroup Manager Find/Search only working for User ID

Hello,
I recently updated my OD Master from 10.6 to 10.7, running on an Xserve 3,1.
The upgrade went fine and I have all my users and groups intact.
However, in Workgroup Manager, when I search by "Name Contains" it will not do a search on the "Name" field.
It appears that no matter what search method I choose, I can only search on the "Short Names" field.
I still have another 10.6.8 Server with WGM on it and it does not have this issue, so it appears to be a specific issue with WGM for 10.7 (I have seen the same thing using WGM for 10.8)
Any ideas?

I noticed somewhat similar behavior a while ago - but my WGM window shows User Name (which is Name, not short name) and that can be searched by the last name, but not the first name. As in a search using smith will find John Smith, but a search using john will not. If the short name is jsmith, a search using jsmi will also work.
However, using the Search button in the top tool bar will work with real names. This picture doesn't actually prove that, but i did search on a first name and it did find it. IE, a search of John in real names found John Smith.
I think this is just how it is now.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for administra

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for the administrator account; for other users the message "The Zen Nano Plus is not connected. Please connect your Zen Nano Plus to the computer." is displayed, but it *is* connected and works under other programs.
Version is .0.03.
Thanks for any assistance.

How exactly do you do this? I checked this out tonight - when I logged onto my PC using my son's Limited User account (XP Home, BTW) I could connect his N200 and see it in Device Manager and Windows Explorer but both Creative pieces of software (CMS and N200 Media Explorer) did not see that it was there!
I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it

I downloaded flash player and did not specify any special preferences, however, it doesn't work for the 2 other accounts on the computer. It only runs for the Administrator account from which i downloaded it. I'm running XP professional. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;
i only have the IE pop up blocker and blocking level set at Medium;
it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said "failed to register"

Subject: Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it
Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
Thanks,

Trusted Sites GPO only works for administrators

I've got a major problem and was hoping somebody could help me. I've got a hundred users or so that connect to an RDS Farm. The RDS farm is made up of several Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. One with IE 10 and the other with IE 8.
The problem that I'm having is if add sites to zone assignment in group policy and add sites to the trusted zone it will only work for users that are administrators. I found a reference to this problem and the issue being IE Enhanced Security, but
Enhanced Security is turned off.
If I'm a normal user with Remote Desktop User rights and I go into IE and check Trusted Sites, there is nothing there. If I login as administrator and check I can see all the trusted sites.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi Cyprus,
Please check if you have the computers or users needing the policy are in a group that is specified. Remember that domain users includes all users, domain computers includes all computer, and authenticated users includes both users and computer. By
default, a GPO will be scoped to Authenticated Users.
Also please run gpresult command on non-administrator user to check if it sync to client successfully.
In addition, I suggest you ask Group Policy forum for more professional help:

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.

Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
Otherwise try this

Flash only works for one user

Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
Player."
JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
installed.
So does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control by following the instructions stated in
tn_14157.
2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
instructions stated in
fb1634cb.
Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
user accounts.
As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
would work.

Bob

CAS SSO not working for VPN Group

Hello,
I am trying to get SSO working for a CAS/CAM in a inband virtual gateway for VPN users coming in off a ASA5520. There are two VPN groups each with its own group policy and tunnel group. One group uses a Windows IAS Radius Server and the other a token based RADIUS RSA device.
Users use the AnyConnect client to connect to the ASA where they are dumped into a vlan. SSO works for the group that uses the Winodws radius server. On the CAS the Cisco VPN Auth server has the Unauthenticated Group as the default group, and then I use mapping rules (Framed_IP_Address) to get the different vpn groups into the right roles. This works for the one group, but since SSO is not working on the second group the CAS never gets the chance to assign them into the correct role.
The only thing I got is this from the ASA:
AAA Marking RADIUS server billybob in aaa-server group cas_accounting as ACTIVE
AAA Marking RADIUS server billybob in aaa-server group cas_accounting as FAILED
I am so close but cant call this done yet....

Hey Faisel,
Thanks for the question.
This is the stange thing. For days Group A (Windows Radius Server) was working and Group B (RSA Radius Server) would not work. Then for some reason I had to reboot the CAS and BOOM...Group B started working and Group A STOPPED working.
So on the ASA I now get these:
AAA Marking RADIUS server cas2-hvn-3515 in aaa-server group cas_accounting2 as ACTIVE
AAA Marking RADIUS server cas2-hvn-3515 in aaa-server group cas_accounting2 as FAILED
Where cas_accounting2 is the AAA server group for Group A
On the ASA I can see that the FW sends a packet to the cas:
"send pkt cas2-hvn-3515/1813"
but the FW never gets an answer back from the CAS for Group A whereas with Group B I can see the response from the CAS.
"rad_vrfy() : response message verified"
What can I look for in the CAS logs to see where the problem is. I will try and setup a packet capture on the CAS and debug it too.

Safari auto fill only works for some sites on my new iMac

Hi, Safari autofill only works for a few websites on my new iMac. Apple Care tried to change some settings which did not help. Autofill is checked in preference and we worked on Keychain access.
Thank you for your advice.

HT204074 Is "Deauthorize All" my only option for Computer Authorizations?

According to the support pages I have read, I should be able to "Manage Devices" on the Account Information page. But I only have "Deauthorize All" as an option. I'm I missing something? I'm I not looking in the right place? Is "Deauthorize All" my only option for Computer Authorizations?

I have two lines, one on AT&T and one on Verizon.
On AT&T, 450 minutes, 200SMS (200SMS is no longer offered) and unlimited data for $80.40 after taxes.
On Verizon, I have 450 minutes, 1000SMS and 2GB Data for $86.
There are pay as you go retailers out there such as Cricket but you will pay full price for the phone but less per month to use it.

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

I have the portable BOSE sound dock and after updating my ipod to ios7 the remote control of the dock only works for the volume but doesnt work for skipping songs....Is there a solution to this?

I have the portable BOSE sound dock and after updating my ipod to ios7 the remote control of the dock only works for the volume but doesnt work for skipping songs....Is there a solution to this?

Have you went to Bose"s support site?
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for an firmware update for the Bose or an iOS update.

Terminal preferences only used for first window

Hello,
Whatever I set in Terminal's Preferences only lasts for the first window I open.
For example, if I set "New window with settings:" to "Pro," the first window is Pro, but any subsequent windows or tabs are just black text on white background. I tried deleted the preferences file, still the same.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Nevermind. I realized that Command-N opened a new basic window.
Solution was to select File -> Use Settings as Default.
Cheers.
