Mcxdisksetup needs admin credentials to make changes

Hi all,
Since a week when this particular iMac starts up, clients logging in, after building up the desktop for this client, it receives a window stating "Type an administrator's name and password to allow MCXDiskSetup' to make changes".
If the client cancel this window, he/she is able to work. It is just annoying and I like to know which settings should be changed in order to stop this window for appearing after login. Where should I look? Do I have to look in WGM, or should I open terminal? Any advice welcome.
Best regards,
Harry
NB. Running SL server (latest version), AFP, DHCP, DNS, OD, Web services, and iCal.

This was driving me mad for a few hours, then I found a Managed Client setting that fixed it.
Under MEDIA ACCESS in the OTHER MEDIA tab, the box for REQUIRE AUTHENTICATION was ticked against the INTERNAL DISKS
Once I removed this (in fact stopped managing it altogether) the annoying messages stopped.
Hope this helps someone else in future.  Googling the message only gave me 4 results!!  Getting support for Apple related enterprise level problems is extremely frustrating.

  • Flash 10.3.181.23 ActiveX MSI needs admin credentials to install

    I am working at a company that installs Flash through Active Directory. We have a mix of Windows XP 32-bit systems and Windows 7 64-bit systems. We are currently running Flash 10.3.181.14 and I am trying to update everyone to the newest version.
    The plugin version of Flash is working on all the systems and the ActiveX version is installing fine for Windows XP 32-bit running IE 7 32-bit. The only issue I am having is that when the GPO installs the ActiveX version on Windows 7 64-bit for IE 8 32-bit something happens and opening a page with Flash content on it causes a UAC prompt for admin credentials to install flash. If I type them in then it works but I am not able to go to each computer and type in the credentials.
    Is there anything I can do to work around this? Turning off the UAC is not an acceptable option.

    Hi Chris, I didn't see that the 64bit browser was used, oops. If that's the case, then I'm surprised the UAC even came up.
    That UAC hasn't been performing as it should, so anything is possible:-)
    Thanks for pointing that out!

  • Help...Click Lock To Make Changes Not Working

    I just noticed that in my security & privacy tab the little padlock that you need to click to make changes, doesn't unlock. As soon as you click it and it asks for a password it locks itself immediately.
    Please help. I am using a Mac Mini Late 2012 running Yosemite 10.10

    I'm having the exact same issue. Any kind of update or assistance would be really appreciated.
    Edit\ I've verified/repaired disk permissions, gone into all the settings I could think of, reinstalled Yosemite and still nothing.

  • Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

  • Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

  • Is there a way to make a number of cells add to a certain number. I need 5 or 6 cells to add to 1700. If one of the cells becomes 0, I need the other cells to change so the bottom number stays at 1700.

    Okay then. If your seven numbers are in column B then the formula next to each number in column C would be
    =IF(B=0,0,1700/COUNTIF(B,">0"))
    This assumes all non-zero numbers are positive numbers. The sum will be 1700.

  • Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

    Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
    It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
    So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
    I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
    I am running Lion 10.7.3.
    Regards,
    Nicolas.
    (I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

  • I need to convert a file from PDF to doc to make changes to it.  How do I do this without getting an error message?

    I can not convert a PDF file to a doc file. I have an older computer program and need to do this in order to make changes to a form.  I just signed up for ADOBE about an hour ago. I keep getting a error message.

    Hi subscription question,
    I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.
    Best,

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".
