Open directory 'read only' after restore

Hi
I have restored open directory using sudo slapconfig -restoredb after our server hangs on a restart and subsequently loses the master record, users etc.
All appears OK except that I am unable to add or remove users via the Server.app. It appears as though the restore process has given the OD read only permissions?
Any ideas
Thanks
Andrew

Please update Mountain Lion and OS X Server to the latest versions (App Store) and use Workgroup Manager 10.8 to manage your users.

After applying FQDN with SSL sharepoint2010 document library's document open as Read Only

Hi,
we have sharepoint server 2010 installed in windows server 2008 R2. We build a document library. After that we installed Office Web Apps. Now,edit in Browser or edit in word/excel etc. all options are working fine.
After that, we configured the site with FQDN (Fully Qualified Doman Name) with SSL. Now, the
edit in browser mode is working fine form both server and client machine (for both windows and form based users).
But, When we are trying toedit in word or other office application mode, the files open as Read Only mode (both from server and client machine).
The users cannot save the file.
After trouble shooting a lot, we found many forum says to edit windows registry or do some other operation on client machine. But, in our case it is not possible to edit registry or do some other experiment on every client's machine.
Is their any option to solve the problem from server end, so that each client automatically can open the office files on their own PC and save them to server (instead of re uploading the files to server )?
Please, help us to give the suggestion for solving our problem.
Thanks,

Is Alternate Access Mappings configured correctly? Is the behavior consistent across different browsers? What are you seeing in ULS logs when the document is being opened from the library?

Changing a Record to Read-Only after an event.

I have a Developer application that needs to be modified. This
application includes several fields as well as a comments
field. I'd like to change all updatable fields (not to included
the comments field) to READ-ONLY after a certain event. Then
after a certain date, I'd like to make the comments field READ-
ONLY.
Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Regina,
Have you tried to set_block_property in pre-record trigger to update allowed/not allowed depending on the event. And in post-record update not allowed. These triggers must be on block level. Also on item level to the item 'Comment' define pre-item trigger where take a new decision whether you want to open the entire block or not, the same way as on block level triggers. But in post-item trigger always make the entire block read-only again.

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.
Cheers,
Dan

Why do attachments in Word open as "read only"?

Using Apple Mail, all Word document attachments open as "read-only" even if they were sent as read-write or plain .doc files. I have to save as some other file name in order to save them or edit them.
How do I eliminate this problem?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up.

Hi
Object can become invalid, if the underlying objects are dropped/invalidated.
So even if you create or validate the underlying objects these objects by themself do not become valid. You have to either make them valid or you should use it atleast one time as select/desc or any other query so that Oracle implicitly make it valid.
Your source datatabase has valid synonym because after dropping/creating you must have selected that synonym atleast one, but this selection procedure would be after you copied your data to the target database.

Excel opens in read only mode on firefox. How do I edit?

If I open an emailed excel document in Firefox it opens as "read only". If I open the same document in Explorer I have the option to edit. How do I get Firefox to allow for editing excel documents?

When you choose Open in the Open/Save/Cancel dialog, Firefox usually uses the Windows TEMP folder. It is safer as cor-el suggests to save the document somewhere else either before or after making your edits. (My understanding of Read Only in Microsoft Office is not that you can't edit, but that you cannot save over the original, so you need to use Save As to save your edits.)

InDesign CS4 Files Open as Read-Only (Mac)

Having a problem where InDesign CS4 files sometimes open as read-only versions. This happens when opened by double-clicking through Finder, force opening by dragging the file over the ID icon in the Dock, or when opened through ID (file > open). If it's relevant, the ID file contains links to InCopy files that have been made using the Assignments Panel. System is Mac OS X 10.6.2. Any help &/or insight is greatly appreciated!

I got a similar kind of problem / error trying to migrate an InDesign Server CS4 solution to another server with InDesign Server CS5.
Windows 2008 server.
I'll describe it, just in case it might give any clues.
Calling an InDesign server "open" script, trying to open an InDesign document, using a network path - although the file is on the same server - resulted in an error message:
System.Exception: 3598: Error from InDesign. Cannot save the document. No destination file supplied.
In the script there is a line, telling Indesign Server to call the save method, if the document is modified, which can be the case after opening a document from another environment, converting to CS5, and links that need relinking and other stuff that either InDesign takes care of, or that the script does.
No lock file ( .idlk ) was created on the server, but until I restarted the InDesign server instance, the file was opened as read-only when I opened it on my own computer (from the same network path on the server). I could then not save it from my own computer (the "Save As" dialogue appeared when I selected "Save" in the File menu).
After restarting the InDesign Service, the file was no longer locked (restarting the sevice automatically clears all open threads to the documents), and I could use and save the file without trouble, from my own computer.
Changing from Local Service to Administrator for running the InDesign service on the server, made the document open. Setting full permissions to the "Local Service" account, on the network share in question, also works, and that's the way I left it.
So my problem had to do with permissions on the network share. Since the service account was not allowed to do certain things, such as "modify" files... something went wrong.
Probably no lock file could be written either, due to permissions... then the open document and locking was handled by the operating system only(?), keeping the document read-only, and reporting other messages than the expected ones. It somehow seems that the document was neither open nor closed on the server (since InDesign Server has no user interface, I can only report what my method calls "saw").
Now - with the permissions of the service account changed - trying to open the document on my computer I get the correct message: "Cannot open the document [...]. You may not have permission or the document may be open already."
(When it was opened in a faulty state - with insufficient permissions - on the server, I could still open it on my computer, but as read-only, due to the missing lock file.)

ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but WDR_TEST_ADOBE, runs fine

Dear readers,
I am working on an Adobe form, now ZForm only opens is 'read only" mode - but when i run WDR_TEST_ADOBE, it runs fine and it is interactive and I am able to click on the buttons.
I compared the form from WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and changed the layout to ZC1, and run the Web dynpro script. After activating and running the webdynpro, I see that it is still acting strange and none of the input fields are accepting input.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the ADS or live cycle designer.
Some setting in my Webdynpro is preventing this form from being displayed correctly.
When I attach the form - "WDR_TEST_ADOBE_SIMPLE" from the WD - WDR_TEST_ADOBE, and test my WD, The form is being displayed as read only.
which again leaves to the conclusion that the something is not right in the WD.
~Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Make a field required on record creation, read only after that

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to make a pick-list field required on record creation, but read-only after that? The other twist to this is that we need to allow this field to also be read-write for all the integration edits, since this field's value could change in the enterprise database.
Thanks,
Neal G.

Hi !
I think you can add a validation rule for that. Something like :
IIf(PRE('<YOURFIELD>') IS NULL, <> '', = PRE('<YOURFIELD>'))
This means that if the previous value of your field is null (it's a creation), so the value must be different than blank. Else, it must be equal to the previous value, so not modified.
I didn't tested it, but I let you get back to me if it works... or not !
You'll just have to add a message saying that this field is required on creation and readonly after...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.

Access Database Opens in Read Only for Users

I just moved an Access Database to a new server (from Server 2003 to Server 2012). From the server, using Office 2010, I can open the database without issue but, if a user try's to open the same database from either a shortcut or mapped with Office 2010,
they get the message that the database is Read Only. Did I miss a step in moving the database to the new server? Thanks

Hi,
Did your user get the error message "You are trying to open a read-only database..."? If it was, please try the following method:
On the desktop, double-click My Computer.
Locate the Microsoft Access database that you moved.
Right-click the database name, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, clear the Read-only check box under
Attributes.
Click OK to apply the change.
Open your database in Access.

Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

Hi,
My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sylvain.

, I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
on the Desktop. I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver.
This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
makes the file Read Only.

How to make fields read only after form is filled in

I am creating forms to be used within our company. The customer srv representative (CSR) would fill in the form and send it to the customer for signature and initial. There are a few issues I can't solve.
1) I need to make the rate & services fields read only after the CSR initials the form

Will the CSR have Acrobat or just Reader, and what type of computer will the CSR be using (Windows/Mac/mobile OS)? If just Reader (Wind/Mac), this is possible by setting the fields to read-only with JavaScript. The problem is this can't be considered secure, even if using a password as discussed here: Password-protect and hide one form field
With Acrobat you have the ability to flatten certain fields, which makes it a bit more difficult to change the "fields".
