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?

1 Library for all Users on one machine

Is there a simple way to have multiple users to have full access to all songs on that single computer?
Music sharing is OK, but then the non-owner can't use these songs to set up playlists etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

In addition to a_ vs_z's reply.
There's an article describing the procedure (skip the first part about fast user switching):
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Hope this helps.

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:

How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
What to do?
Thanks...

No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
There are the standard first start behavior.
There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
Thanks.

Importing Certificates for all users on a machine

How do I import certificates for all users on a machine in Windows/OSX.
Since firefox does not use the system store and uses its own, we have been able to use a utility called certutil to add certificate to a user's firefox db on Linux. So if the user logs into any Linux system on our network he will have those certs in his trusted root cert authority for firefox. Unfortunately this does not carry over to firefox on osx as I am not sure why since it should carry over if the user's home is network. Then we have Windows users who basically have local accounts and we are looking for some solution to have it set up for all users without having to manually import for each user. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

Hi all
Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files. I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common. The
same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain? We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
nothing changes.
Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
Thanks much for your help!

Hi,
You could use Software Restriction Policies (SRP’s) or Applocker(supported on Windows server 2008 R2/Windows 7 only) to restrict the running
of the application for specific user.

CP3525dn, networked -- default duplex for all users (embedded web server)

I want to set the default for all users on our networked CP3525dn to be duplex. I cannot find this option anywhere in the embedded web server. I have duplex turned on, of course, and users can set their own default to duplex, but I want it to be default for everyone--the default default, if you will.
Is this possible? I'm fairly certain it's possible if the printer is connected to a computer and shared on the network (but I don't remember the specifics) but I can't find out how to do it if it's on the network on its own.
Thanks!

I don't believe you can. It must be set for every user manually.

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,

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

How do I set Premiere preferences for all users - University lab machine?

I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user?
The most important one is the preferences - Playback in order to set up the second monitor.

How do you configure Firefox for all users on a machine?

I want to
1. Take my existing set-up of Firefox
a. with all bookmarks
b. with all my chosen options
c. with my default start-up home page
d. bypass all the initial Firefox startup screen and "make this your default screen"
2. Have it be the base set-up for all users that log into a machine on our domain.
Is there a config file? Where do I place this config file so when all open their firefox it takes the above settings. I am creating a base image using VMware and will want this set-up so when a user log in with their logon credentials and open Firefox, it already has the above mentioned settings in place.

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.
~JuniorG33k "Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?"

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.

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

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 .

Network Home Directories for all users

Hi,
I hope someone can shed some light on a possible issue.
I work for a primary school in the UK.
I have Tiger server 10.4.10 running as an Open Directory Master. I have a 1TB XRAID attached to this server where the Home Directories are hosted. I have been told that they are now slow at logging in (I am currently unwell at home so have not confirmed this yet).
It used to be a magic triangle setup but found there were problems with the managed prefs for the clients not being obtained on startup and network logins not working.
The DNS and DHCP comes from the AD still.
The OD has been set up to have the same kerberos realm as that of the AD (is this wrong) as the users are in both AD and OD with same username and password.
The users Home dirs for the OD are hosted as i say on the XRAID which has a striped array of 1TB so the HDD speed shouldn't be a problem.
The server is now connected to a 1Gb switch as are the clients.
I have added more ram to the Xserve (now running on 5GB RAM). I have read that an afp server needs a lot of ram to work effectively. Is this enough?
I have not set up link aggregation yet.
The total amount of users logging in at one time will be no more than 40 users at once as there are only 40 mac machines in the school.
I hope you can help as i would like to have something to go back to school with to tackle this if it does turn out to be true.
Any more info needed just ask.
TIA

Hi. Let me restate so I understand it right. You are using an XServe to host network home folders and also using Active Directory for authentication? I work at a primary school also and we have an XServe that has the users home folder on it, but we also connect to an AD server for authentication. We had some speed issue with logging in but as soon as we set up a time server to ensure that both the XServe and AD server had the same time the trouble was fixed. Hope this helps.

Firefox is crashing for all users on my machine except me. How do I sort?

This morning I had a prompt that a Windows update was available so I chose to update my machine (I don't normally). Once the update was applied, I couldn't start Firefox as it crashed immediately, saying "Mozilla Crash Reporter - Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts". I performed a system recovery back to yesterday and I can now run Firefox fine as my user, but none of my family can under their users (we are all set as administrators). Any idea what I need to do to get them back on Firefox please?

Copying a profile folder and replacing another with it should work ok, but remember that everything is stored there, not just settings. It's bookmarks, passwords, history and all. To access your profile folder, access ''about:support'' in your location bar and click "Open containing folder". Remember that profile folders may be named differently from user to user. If you want to replace them, replace the contents. Be sure to back up your data first, too.
But before you do that, you may want to try creating a new profile ( [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles] ) to see if the issues persist. If they do, it's possible that some kind of third party software is hindering Firefox...
