Modifying Safari's internal default bookmarks for enterprise deployment

I build deployment images for use in a large research facility. The default bookmarks that you get when you launch Safari for the first time are, shall we say, not especially relevant to what users here need. I've built my own set which is a LOT more useful, with some of our important in-house sites as well as outside sites useful for our research.
What I need is a decent way to get them to users. I've been hacking the OS X default user template to write them in each new account when it gets created, but I really don't enjoy hacking around in there. I just figured out how to go inside Safari's application bundle and replace the internal bookmarks file with my own, which seems like a better way (less messy, my bookmarks will return if users trash their preferences, etc.) But, is this safe? Will Software Update blow away my bookmarks? Is this allowed by the license?

But, is this safe?
No reason why it wouldn't be safe; other organizations do it for their own systems.
Will Software Update blow away my bookmarks?
No. It doesn't blow away any other bookmarks, and they're kept in a separate file anyway.
Is this allowed by the license?
Of course, as long as you have purchased the necessary number of licenses for the machines you have. If not, then you're in violation of federal law.

  • Export for Enterprise Deployment

    I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, but is there a way to package a Flash app for iPad/iPhone for enterprise deployment? Apple does this with their XCode development tool. It's always the common sense stuff that Adobe leaves out and never has any information on.
    Thanks.

    Have you found out the solution yet?  I am faced with the same issue and need to deploy to a client ASAP.  I need to know what the publishing setting would be: Debug, Ad-Hoc, or App store. I thing that the App store one should be used. I will be giving my client both a debug and an App store version. We will see what happens.

  • Deploy default bookmarks for new users

    How can I deploy default bookmarks that will be used for every new user profile with Firefox 6 or 7?
    I tried to place a bookmarks.html or a places.sqlite file in
    \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles, but none of them seems to be used when creating the new profile. (However, default\profiles isn't ignored generally, since a localstore.rdf file placed in the same directory actually does get used.)
    Thanks,

    In the web.xml file for the InfoViewApp, which in the case if you are using Tomcat, is "Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF".
    Find the parameter entry:
    <!-- The default home page -->
        <context-param>
            <param-name>homepage.default</param-name>
            <param-value>/jsp/listing/home.jsp</param-value>
        </context-param>
    change the <param-value> entry from "/jsp/listing/home.jsp" to "/listing/objectList.do"
    so now it should read:
        <context-param>
            <param-name>homepage.default</param-name>
            <param-value>/listing/objectList.do</param-value>
        </context-param>

  • Using AAMEE to Package CS6 for Enterprise Deployment | Creative Suite In The Enterprise | Adobe TV

    CS6 software requires activation and Adobe ID login. By packaging CS6 with AAMEE 3.0 before deployment, only the IT Admins needs to complete a one-time package activation and Adobe ID login, individual users of thesoftware do not. Learn about these new requirements and how to help yourenterprise customers through this new process by using the free AAMEEtool. AAMEE also gives you advanced package configuration and updat options.
    http://adobe.ly/LGI0Xf

    We have a major issue with the way this works... we have no internet on our workstations, and want to deploy... it appears there is NO WAY to do an offline activation using the AAMEE program!!! This is a major oversight for people who work on contained networks, with zero internet on any workstations where the deployment can be made.
    Please let me know of a way round this, it is quite urgent!

  • How to get back default bookmarks and bookmarks toolbars?

    I would like to get back my default bookmarks and those bookmarks on the toolbar.
    Where can I find a file with all the default bookmarks for Safari v4.0.5?

    What I mean is the bookmarks that you got when you installed Safari for the first time.
    Okay. The following procedure will restore your bookmarks to their default state.
    (1) Quit Safari if you have it open
    (2) Go Start > Open.
    (3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    (4) Click the View tab.
    (5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
    (6) Click OK.
    (7) Go Start > Computer.
    (8) In Computer open Local Disk C:
    (9) Open the Users folder.
    (10) Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which you want to have default bookmarks showing for your Safari.
    (11) Open the AppData folder.
    (12) Open the Roaming folder.
    (13) Open the Apple Computer folder.
    (14) Open the Safari folder.
    (15) Drag the Bookmarks plist file out onto your desktop.
    Now launch Safari. That should rebuild the Bookmarks plist file, and you'll be seeing the default bookmarks and Bookmarks bar settings.

  • Enterprise deployment of Flash Builder 4, how?

    What sources or tools are available to aid in enterprise deployment of Flash Builder 4?  I need to create a 100% silent, 100% no touch installation and uninstallation.  I'd rather not capture it into a MSI.  I'm finding nothing on how to automate the installer at all.
    I'd like some customization along with just how to do the actual install.  For example, being able to NOT install Adobe AIR, Flash Plugin/ActiveX and the accompanying Microsoft VC items or selectively installing them.  In our environment, EVERYTHING is layered - no application installs other vendor installs.  This simplifies managing and updating them.  When a user requests a application, all pre-reqs are installed and the actual app only installs if they all completed.
    Thanks,
    digital

    For the path to your own copy of eclipse, if the link file isn't created automatically in silent mode, you could fix that quickly afterwards by copying the link file (either manually or with a script) from the bundled eclipse dropins folder into your own copy of eclipse.
    Regarding silent deployment of volume SNs for FB4 Plug-in, we've been working up some documentation for that. Here's the approach, if anyone needs it.
    Phase 1: Package the RIBS subinstaller (STIWrapper) for network deployment
    first, install FB4 Plug-in normally (interactively) once locally, to obtain the embedded subinstaller here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in\install.support\AdobeFlashBuilderPluginSTIWrapperWin
    that STIWrapper normally gets run automatically and silently by InstallAnywhere. Because it’s in CS Installer format, an enterprise deployment engineer can use Adobe’s regular CS5 Enterprise Deployment tools to configure it for embedding a volume SN.
    when configuring the STIWrapper for Enterprise Deployment, the install path needs to go all the way down to the bundled Eclipse folder. For example that will be here by default: <Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in\eclipse</Property>
    docs and downloads for Adobe's Enterprise Deployment tools are available here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
    Phase 2: Deploying FB4 Plug-in to End Users
    Before deploying, it’s important that any previously installed versions of FB4 Plug-in and its STIWrapper have been uninstalled. Generally, the Plug-in uninstaller will uninstall the STIWrapper automatically, but for more robust deployments, the enterprise engineer may want to automate a prerequisite step of uninstalling both FB4 and its STIWrapper.
    Next, the silent installers need to be deployed in this order:
    install the STIWrapper first, using the CS5 Deployment Toolkit
    run the regular InstallAnywhere FB4 Plug-in installer silently.
    To run the Plug-in installer silently, you can either use the "FB4_Plugin_Win_Installer.exe -i silent" syntax in your deployment scripts, or else place a new file named installer.properties right next to FB4_Plugin_Win_Installer.exe, in the same VM folder, and include this line in that file:
    INSTALLER_UI=silent
    Important: in step 2 above you need to run the extracted FB4 Plug-in installer, using the same folder tree format found on the DVD, not the self-extracting ESD archive named FlashBuilder_4_Plugin_LS1.exe.
    Alternatively, if you only have the ESD exe named FlashBuilder_4_Plugin_LS1.exe, and don’t have the FB 4.0.1 DVD available, you can obtain the same folder tree by running the plug-in installer interactively on a local machine. Cancel the installation right after it finishes with the part that says “...downloaded files are being extracted.” Locate the full plugin installer tree from your Temp folder, normally here: [yourHomeFolder]\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plugin\
    Post this extracted folder (from the DVD or from the Temp folder) to a convenient share on your network and then use it for Step 2 above.
    Note that this will only work fully on Win, because InstallAnywhere doesn’t support silent deployments on OS X. You could still use Step 1 on OS X to deploy a Volume SN the same way, but Step 2 would involve running the Plug-in installer interactively on OS X.
    If you try out this approach, please let us know how it goes.
    Thanks,
    -Chris

  • Acrobat 9.1 Group Policy Enterprise Deployment

    Hey there,
    I'm wondering how to properly create an msi based on the new security update for enterprise deployment via gpo.
    i found an acrobat 8 doc that specified: msiexec /a "\\network computer\Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional\AcroPro.msi" /p "\\network computer\Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional\security update\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp"
    but this simply updated and extracted all files...
    i'm not overly familiar with packaging acrobat so any help would be great.
    even better would be an acrobat 9.1 full msi :)
    thanks

    One thing to note: Make sure you apply ALL .msp patches to the admin in the correct order!
    i.e. You can't just jump to the 9.1.2 patch as they are all INCREMENTAL and have a weird schedule! Sucks, but somehow it makes sense to Adobe. The scheduling and it's explanation can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html
    So, the methodology is:
    Make an admin install using the /a switch from msiexec
    Expand the patch file from the source to the network share in the correct order, one by one using the /p switch of msiexec, 9.1.0 first then 9.1.2
    Create your .mst file via the Customization Wizard
    Create your GPO referencing the gpo_ad doc here ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/gpo_ad_9.pdf )
    Enjoy!

  • Modify default value for static parameter field programmatically

    Hi,
    I have my Crystal Reports stored in a BO Enterprise system. I have written a java programm that scans the repository, loads the CR reports one by one into a ReportClientDocument, modifies the data source and then stores the updated report back to repository (it overwrites the existing objects).
    I was even able to modify the default values for the parameters, which are used for scheduling of each report.
    But what I am trying to do know is to overwrite the default value used when invoking the report interactively. This should be the value found under the Default Value field, when the Properties window of the parameter is opened in the CR designer.
    This is what I have tried so far:
    Option 1: First I tried to set the default values using com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument.getDataDefinition().getParameterFieldController().getField(...).getDefaultValues() . The only thing I have managed to do using this approach is to modify the static LOVs that are associated to static parameters. The actual selected value (shown under Default Value in the Properties window for the given parameter field) remained unchanged, when invoking the report in the InfoView or opening it in the CR designer.
    Option 2: I have used com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.report.IReport.getReportParameters().get(ik).getDefaultValues() to change the default values. I was able to see my changes in the BO repository (using a query on CI_INFOOBJECTS), still the changes did not really have an impact to what is displayed as default value when invoking the report in the InfoView.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    It would be great to know if someone of you has already implemented successfully such a use-case.
    Regards,
    Stratos

  • Recently my default program for opening any program changed to opening a safari browser for Dropbox. How do I set it back to iBooks?

    On both my iPad (which had Dropbox) and my wife's (which does not) any file we click to open the current default is to open a safari browser and attempt to sign into Dropbox. I want to restore iBooks as my default but can't find any info on how. Any help out there is really appreciated!

    Sorry for being vague. When I click to open a document in safari, rather than opening the document for me to view, it instead opens up a new window asking me to log into Dropbox to view the file. When I click and hold on link the file now starts with a drop box web address (regardless of website) forcing me to only use this avenue. I have cleared all cookies and data and still have this occur... Hence my comment that somehow Dropbox has become my default viewer for any files. This occurs on my iPad which has the application and my wife's which does not have the program but  shares my Apple ID. I am trying to restore the default settings in safari to open documents in iBooks or other programs and not force me to use Dropbox.

  • PDF Default program for Safari

    How do I set Preview to be the default program for opening PDF files while in Safari? Currently every time I open one, it defaults to Acrobat. I have looked at the internet plugin folder (as suggested in another post), but that file does not exist.

    I tried this:
    Open Acrobat and go to Acrobat preferences. In the Categories column, select Internet. In that window, uncheck "Display PDF in window browser using Adobe Acrobat".

  • ITunes U for Enterprise internal training

    I would like to know if iTunes U is avaible to be used for Enterprise doing its internal training?
    If yes what is the enrollement process, if not is there any future products from Apple to support our requirements?

    Apple has said nothing about expanding iTunes U to use by anyone other than K-12 school districts and colleges and universities. My guess is that they never will, though I can't speak for Apple and they've surprised me in the past, so you can keep hoping. I would suggest you not hold off on finding other solutions waiting for Apple to change their terms, though.

  • Change Defaults Settings for Safari

    Since I upgraded to the New Mountain Lion, the Default Settings for my Safari browser is Bay City. How do I change this where I live?

    HI Norm,
    Open System Preferences/Network. Select Airport in the panel in the left then click the Advanced tab then click the Proxies tab. Where you see: Select a protocol to configure Make sure there are NO boxes checked.
    Click the Airport tab in that same window. Make sure your network is listed under: Preferred Networks
    If not, cick + Type in your network name or click Show Networks and select it from there. Your network should be listed in the Preferred Networks window now. Just below that window select the box next to: Remember networks this computer has joined.
    If you still have problems, open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select your device on the left then click Continue. In the next window click: I want to restore this AirPort device to its factory settings and then set it up again; then click Continue.
    I'm on Comcast without using any Proxies.
    You can disconnect the Comcast cable modem from it's power source for about 5 minutes then reconnect. Sometimes you have to recycle the modem.

    Also, on the G5. Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    You may only see the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in that list since it's running 10.5.x
    Don't worry about the other .plist files if they are not available.
