Mapped network drive appears empty for all users on one computer

We have several network drives mapped via a batch file at log in. On one particular Windows 7 computer one of these drives maps but appears empty. Manually mapping to the drive and assigning a different drive letter makes no difference but manually
mapping by entering the IP address allows viewing and accessing the contents.
The malfunctioning network drive is also using Hosted BranchCache. The following settings are set in local group policy:
(\Network\BranchCache)
Turn on BrancheCache - Enabled
Set BranchCache Hosted Cache Mode - Enabled - <servername>
Configure BranchCache for network files - Enabled - 0
The servers involved are running Windows Server 2012.
I am at a loss here and will appreciate any suggestions.

With Offline Files disabled the contents of the mapped drive are visible and accessible. Unfortunately, Offline Files must be enabled for BranchCache to work.
Looking in the Event Viewer at “Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\OfflineFiles\Operational” I can see that the mapped network drive transitioned to slow link during high latency but has never transitioned back.

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

Why does Firefox 31 change all PDF icons and opening in browser, require a fix using REGEDIT to fix for ALL USERS on a computer?

The solution to use REGEDIT in the question linked below almost fixed my trouble with PDF files on over 30 computers, with several users on each computer:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013642
But I needed to fix it for ALL users on a computer, without logging onto each account, on each computer. My fix was to logon as administrator and change the following system-global key instead:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.pdf
Name: Default
Type: Reg_SZ
Data: FirefoxHtm
Changed the data from FirefoxHtm to AcroExch.Document.11
I use Adobe Reader XI on Win7 Pro, 64-bit machines.
The problem started when I ran a downloaded file to install the new version of Firefox on the computers.
Why would Firefox require me to use REGEDIT in this manner to fix the problem?

This only happens when you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox thinks that there is currently no application the handles PDF files.

ITunes Shared library with all users on one computer

I am trying to share my iTunes (version 8.2) library with all the users on my computer. So far, this is what I have done:
1) I have moved the music folder into the shared folder.
2) I have selected "Add to Library" in all three accounts.
3) I have tried checking and unchecking the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library."
Since then, I have added some CDs that had some songs that I already had. When I loaded these CDs, I deleted the duplicates that had the worse sound. Since then, everything is unwinding. The additions on one user account are not being added to the others. When I delete a track, iTunes (obviously) says that it can't find the song anymore. What's odd is that I then delete the one that is missing, and both are missing now: the one that I deleted on the original account and the one that I did not delete on the original account.
I am starting to think that I need to start from scratch. So, to make a long story short (too late), how can I share my iTunes library with all users on one computer, where I can make a change in one account that will update automatically on the other accounts. If it can't be updated automatically, how can I add/delete files without causing the headaches I am currently having?
Brian

I actually followed this, but I still had problems that I listed above. Is there any way that when you make changes to one account (even if there is only one main account where changes are made), the changes are automatically (or at least easily) applied to the other user accounts?

Network drive appears empty after upgrade

I had my SuperDuper backup on one of two drives in a D-Link NAS. TM backs up to a third drive that isn't on the network - just an external drive here on the desk. I upgraded last week and everything... well everything went to ****, generally, but TM had been working just fine since the upgrade. Today, however, it suddenly went nuts. It was taking forever and sucking up huge resources, even webpages were loading terribly slow. I left it alone for about fifteen minutes, then tried to cancel it... then Finder stops responding. So I try to relaunch Finder, which closes just fine, but I get an error and Finder won't reload. So I reboot, which takes a good 7 minutes.
Okay, now the network problem: after all that, I can view the files on my one network drive - ironically, the one I don't care about - but my network drive with my SuperDuper sparseimage shows up as empty. I checked in terminal and also FTP. Totally blank. Even though TM backs up on a different drive. What's up? Any ideas? I'm leaving the network drive alone until I figure it out... I really need that sparseimage (during this same issue, TM corrupted the external, so I had to reformat it... so now my only backup is [maybe] on this network disk).
Argh. I should have waited a month or two before updating. Let someone else deal with the early adopter bugs.

Mounting a Lacie Drive on Login for all users?

Here's the situation: I want to make my Mac users single sign-on to my Active Directory server (2003 Server). This part is easy and works great- users get their home directory mounted and of course have to authenticate against the AD server to logon on. What I can't have is them saving their huge multimedia files to our server- it doesn't have the HDD space!
Summary: I want users who authenticate to an AD server to be able to save small files to their home directories but larger files to the Lacie drive attached to a G5 tower. What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks a million!

Hi Paul,
I would, as an admin user, create one folder for each of your users on the LaCie drive and make each of them owner of his own folder (I guess this can be obtained from the "Get Info" window or the Unix way).
You still have to check that the FW drive mounts for all user sessions but I don't see why it wouldn't.

JWS installed client application for all users on one PC

For a PC (or Mac), Can one install a client application using Java Web Start & JNLP for all users on
that particular machine? If so, how do you do it?
thanks,
Phil

This is a new feature in the 1.5 version of Java Web Start (seperate system cache) see:

Normally, applications are installed in each users cache.

Sharing library/playlists etc. All users on one computer STEP BY STEP guide

ok i recently installed a new hard drive and when I set up iTunes I found I needed to set up iTunes the way i used to have it... which was that all users shared the same library... and if one user added a song we all had it... without manually modifying anything... also playlists created by one would appear for others.
A scan of the forum caused me headaches and little help.
SO... a couple of hours palyng around and I am where i want to be!!!!
please note... save time and modify permissions at the correct stage... or it won't work!!!
Step By Step...
Go To...
Main users iTunes folder (iTunes Library, Album Artwork, iTunes Music Library.xml, iTunes Music)
AND... do a get info...
Under... Ownership & Permissions...
Change the group to admin and give this group 'read & write' and others the same or leave it at read only.
Hit the 'apply to enclosed items' button!!!
THEN... drag this folder to a shared location... IE Users / Shared.
THEN... make an alias and drag it back to the Music Folder in your own home library. (where the original folder was previously)!
DELETE the word ALIAS.
Log in as another user and get rid of the iTunes folder. (if the other user has different songs etc... then save them to a separate location for re-importing later!
Go to the Shared location... Make another Alias... drag it to the music folder and again DELETE the word ALIAS.
Do this for all users...
Any user who adds a song to iTunes... is shared by all.
Any user who creates a playlist... is shared by all.
One downside to this... if a user is logged in using iTunes and you switch users iTunes will not be available to the new user... unless the application is quitted...
G4 iMac 20 1.25ghz / G4 iBook 14 1.33ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

That steps above are far too much (and unecessary) work.
Drag the iTunes folder to a shared location.
Make sure all users have REad/Write permission to the iTunes fodler.
Each user start iTunes holding the Option key, select Choose existing library and pick the iTunes folder in the Shared folder.

PO delivery date field to be made display for all users except one user

Hi All,
I have a specific requirement:
The delivery date field in PO should be made display only at the time of changing the PO. I know pretty well that this can be achieved thru Define Screen Layout at document level, which inturn will make this field disaply mode to all users.
But it should be in changeable mode only for one user. how can we achieve this.
Any ideas, please
/R
Antony

Hi ,
You can create a authorization object(Z one) which can be assigned to the user id who need authorization of change .
In the exit , you can specify the logic that if SY-USER (current user) has the authorization id , the system will allow to change . If the user doesn't have the object in his roles , the system would not allow to change .
This will help in providing / removing access to any user id .

Hari.

How do you limit TOC navigation for multiple users on one computer?

If you have 5 Adobe Captivate 5.5. Projects linked together to play consecutively how can you set up a TOC so that each new user starts from the beginning and can only go back to slides that the new user has viewed? We have the TOC set to Enable Navigation, Navigate Visited Slides Only, and View Status Flag. This is a required training video that will be taken by many users. We need them to be able to go back to the sections that they already viewed but not be able to see the sections that others have already watched. In other words, we don't want them to be able to advance ahead to the sections that the previous test takers have viewed.
Message was edited by: DOLOnlineTrainers
Problems:
•     Remove the TOC and they have no navigation abilities to see something they may have missed
•     Keep it in and the viewer can advance to parts they have not viewed as the previous user set the ability
•     Put a back button in and they can only go back one at a time and have no ability to get back to where they were if they keep hitting back other than watch over
•     Tried the clear button in TOC under status flag which clears the status flags yet it only works on one section at a time and does not clear all linked projects
•     Is there something we are missing? Tried reading blogs and really can’t pinpoint problem

To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago. The way this is normally achieved is by getting users to log in as a different profile.
There's no EASY way I can think of to achieve what you want WITHOUT users having different profiles. You would need to get some custom HTML programming done by someone that basically mimicked separate browser sessions under the same login. It's theoretically possible, but I've never been required to do anything like this.

Network Drives mounting for all users on one machine

I have a diskless netboot image that I've made specifically to capture the local drive and run system image Utility. I'm trying to "perfect" this image, and I would like to have 2 network shares be mounted automatically when any network user signs in. one to write the DMG to and the other being the NetBootSP0 folder. I'm thinking the way to do this would be a script, but I don't know how to make it, how to set it up to run when any account signs in.
thanks!

I would also love to be able to do this.
I have my iTunes library in iTunes on a virtual machine on an SMB PC mount. If I bring up iTunes on the MAC to sync my iPods then it will fail unless I manually connect to the SMB mount.
Is there any way to automount an SMB volume at login time?

Users can see documents for all users on the computer?

when I log in to user A and do a search this Mac, it finds all documents even from other users that are supposed to be confidential! How can I change this so that searches only find documents on that user?
Hunter

Guess you're my Ed Snowden go to guy for this stuff.
I have been naively thinking my confidential stuff was confidential. I don't think my staff have the wherewithal to figure that out and they are too busy and generally good people anyway.
One think I did notice when I was browing the Users from my employees computer: all other Users Documents folder had the RED dash on the folder. The only one missing the red dash was from mine which is the confidential User. I did set my documents folder to NO Access earlier today but no red dash appeared on that folder. Just checked it again after a restart. seems odd.
Thanks very much for your help Barney.

How do I create a default profile for all users of a computer in Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions above 8? I'd like all new users on a computer to get the same defaults, bookmarks, homepage, etc...

I have found help for this on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions above 8. There must be someway to accomplish this for imaging on a large scale.

You can create a defaults\profile template folder in the Firefox program folder for new profiles the same way as in older versions. That folder only isn't there anymore because all files have been moved to the omni.ja(r) archive, so you need to create it yourself.

Problems installing flash player for all users on a computer (domain)

Hi all,
I've had a quick search but have unfortunately not found any answers.
I've just setup a new image using WDS to install 55 new Dell computers. Flash player was installed as part of this image, the problem i'm getting is that if I log in as a domain administrator I can run flash fine with no problems, however if I log in as a domain user, and try to visit any site that requires flash, i can't seem to view any flash content.
When logged in as the domain user and navigate to control panel I can see the "Flash player settings" option and when I view installed software I an see that flash player 11 is installed.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? - Do you require admin rights to view flash files?
Any help would be extremely grateful!
Thanks.
Matt

It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder. Try a clean install on the original machine.
If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
Also check the permissions of all files in
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash
