RDS2012R2 User Printers Showing Up In All User Sessions

Hi There,
I'm having a rather odd and annoying issues with our client's RDS servers and some printers. Some users printers seem to 'bleed' to all other users sessions.
Printers are all configured on the same print server and are shared out from there. Onsite IT then manually add printers to users sessions as they need them.
However, for some reason some printers are showing up in all user sessions, which is causing Devices and Printers to show 2 and 3 of the same printers installed. I'm logged into the server as my domain admin account and I have no printers installed under
my profile (other than XPS/Onenote/cutePDF as these are local printers), yet as you can see from the below screenshot, all the printers highlighted in blue show up, and these show for all users.
When I try to remove these printers one of a few things happens:
Nothing. The printer does not remove and it just stays there.
It disappears for a second and then reappears at the end of the list.
It disappears for a few minutes and then reappears on its own.
Interestingly enough, these printers come and go on their own through out the day and it appears to be related to user logons, but I've been unable to narrow down what users are causing what printers to appear for all users.
Printer redirection is turned off so cannot be the cause.
How is such a thing even possible given that if the printer was installed as an admin, then it would show up all the time and removing it would actually remove the printer and user printers are meant to stick to that users sessions.
And more importantly, how do I resolve this annoying issue as it is confusing users when they have multiple printers to print to of the same type.

Hello all,
i have a strange problem like MachTesseract in
RDS2012.
Users have 4 shared network printer from a spooler server; any printer is mapped in users session.
When user logon or logoff in RDS session in admin session appair other 4 olds printers that after are present in all users session. In user session these printer cannot be deleted (ask username and password from administrator). If i delete these
printer from administrator session these disappair in all user session, but next time user logon or logoff appair in RDS admin session again and after in all user session
I think that these 4 printer are old setting printer mapped in admin session; i have done reboot RDS server but problem remain.
If i delete 4 printer in admin session and after restart spooler in RDS server these 4 printer are again mapped (like when user make logon or logoff) in admin session and any user session.
I have disable gpo for mapping and in any user session i mapped all 4 printer; but if user logon or logoff old 4 printer mapped in admin session reappair. I think there is a automap at login or logoff user session for deleted printer mapped in RDS server
in admin session
Can anyone have any idea for this problem?
Thanks in advance for any support.

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

Go to everyone group and click the tab 'assign role'
Search for the eu_role recursively(check the box recursive before search). otherwise all roles will not show up.

Risk Analysis at user level shows nothing in all 3 views though at role level shows risks of global rule set

I am configuring ARA 10.1 for a ECC 6.0 plug in development system and facing this issue. Risk Analysis at user level shows no data in all 3 views though at role level shows risks of global rule set. I am using Global rule set. I generated all risks/functions & using connector group as SAP_ECCS_LG not SAP_R3_LG.I activated common, R/3 & ECCS BC sets. Added integration scenario for AUTH. Run all 4 sync jobs multiple times successfully. My system already has decentralised EAM 10.1 implemented & even used in production as BAU. I have checked at both chrome & IE. The misleading thing is that RFC is also working fine & I can see risks in Risk Analysis at role level & risky roles are even assigned to valid users.GRC is at SP4 & accordingly is the ECC 6.0 plug in. Thanks in Advance. Please consider it urgent.

Hi,
Assign ECC connector to SAP_ECCS_LG group.
Run the programs GRAC_PFCG_AUTHORIZATION_SYNCand GRAC_REPOSITORY_OBJECT_SYNC) in full synch mode(this might take time so better do this in background). Better do it sequentially.Check the logs of the jobs in SLG1 just to ensure everythings fine.
Run ARA for a specific user and mention the connector for faster output. Ensure this user has the role with risks.Also as explained earlier check the GUID against user id in table GRACUSERROLE and using GRACROLE you can find out the technical name of the role updated in the table. This should be same as the backend role.
Then run ARA and while doing so please ensure the selection screen doesnt have any unwanted default inputs. If followed correctly , this should be of help. I am assuming the role analysis yielded correct risks as configured since this would mean that connector have correct actions and basic config is in place.

Task manager show process from all user

Hi All,
Need a help.
I need to enable "task manager show all show process" for all normal users(view like XP) irrespective of admin or not.
Can any one help me how to go about this through GPO. I searched a lot in net but could not found any convincing solution for this.

This is not possible. User processes are isolated from each other. Only administrators can retrieve information about processes from other users. Either make your users local admin, or tell them this is not possible.
This is because of the security design which isolates users from other processes (service processes and other users' processes)
there are many things that don't work anymore. For example, on XP it was possible to give service applications a user interface (for example for disgnostic or development purposes). From Vista onwards this is no longer possible because allowing users to
interact with service applications is a security risk.
There are many such changes, and you have to update your processes accordingly.

User export does not export all users....

Hi all,
EP60 SP2 P4 HF8. Datasource is Database.
I'm exporting all users via the Export/Import iview in the User Administration role. However, the export file only shows part of all the users, not all. SAP Note 801393 descibes this problem exactly, but the proposed solution does not work either.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Marcel Rabe

Hi,
I've got the same issue.
When using the export function from the portal, the user list is not complete.
The stream seems to be cut off when too many users need to be exported(Length/size issue)?
Did someone find a solution?
Thx,

Retrieving user detail, group name for all users

Hi,
How can I retrieve User name, email, authentication, user group name
for all users using SDK.
It is possible to create this report in webi or CR?
Thank you for reply,
Gregor

Use the following code to retrieve this information:
IInfoObjects users = oInfoStore.query("select * from ci_systemobjects where si_kind='user'");
for (int i=0; i<users.size(); i++)
 IUser user = (IUser)users.get(i);
 // user.getTitle(); for user name
 // user.getFullName(); for user's full name
 // user.getEmailAddress(); for user's email address
 // for authentication type:
 IUserAliases alises = user.getAliases();
 for(int j=0; j<aliases.size();j++)
 IUserAlias alias = alises.get(j);
 // alias.getAuthentication() for authentication associated with this alias, since same user can have more than 1 authentication. e.g. Enterprise and Ldap.
 // for user group memberships:
 java.util.Set groups = user.getGroups();
 // the groups Set object will contain SI_ID of all the user groups that this uses is member of. You need to query by the SI_ID of the usergroup to get the group names.
// e.g.
// oInfoStore.query("select si_id, si_name from ci_systemobjects where si_kind='usergroup' and si_id in (a,b,c....)");
where a,b,c are the SI_IDs of the usergroups.
To create a report based on the above fetched data, there are several methods such as:
you can use Java resultset where in you create the report structure in designer and push the data at runtime using java result set objects. Another way is to push this info in Excel or Access and design your report based on that excel\access.

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.

Sharing iPhoto library in /Users/Shared doesn't allow all users to edit all photos

I share a laptop with my wife. We have two separate user accounts on the MacBook Pro. I've moved iPhoto to /Users/Shared in an effort to allow both users the option to EDIT photos in iPhoto.
How do I modify the permissions so that we can both edit photos no matter who uploads them?
The MBP is running Mavericks (10.9.1) and iPhoto is up to date (9.5.1).

Hi Larry - you seem to know what you are doing! Can I butt in with a question?
I have a large (75Gb) iPhoto library (all my family photos since 2003) on a MBA (2011) which I use for work. This Christmas I have bought a new MBA (2013) for family use and want to transfer everything over to the new MBA so that the rest of the family can (1) look at (and use (i.e. email, export, etc but not edit)) them and (2) have their own libraries in their own user directories without cluttering up 'my' shared one.
I was planning on putting the library into -users/me/public. Would this work? Or do you have a better idea?
Thanks in advance.

Retrieving User groups and email for all users in a group

I need to create an ADF application to retrieve all the groups in OID, the user would select a group and it should list down all the email addresses in that group.
Can you suggest what is the best way to achieve this. My main concern is how to retrieve groups and email addresses from OID. I was unable to find APIs for it.
Your suggestions are greately appreciated.

In a multi-user environment, a user install a dreamweaver extension,but just the user who install the extension can use it.
Is there a way that administrator install the extension and make this extension available for other users in multi-user environment(e.g. the Windows 7)
Dreamweaver had this capability many releases ago, but it has been dropped, so it's no longer available.

Well as a workaround you can create an email address/folder and provide this in SOCT and then from this mail folder , setup a rule to forward the mail to all receipients.

Users not showing in Terminal Server Under Remote desktop services manager and Task Manager

Hi All,
I have a problem here in Terminal Server. I can not see the users logged in to Server but i know users are accessing the files and currently working.
1. From the Task Manager-- Show processes from all users displayed all the processes accessing by users.
2. From the Task Manager-- From Users Tab--No users list at all
3. From the Command Prompt- Query users-- No information
4. From the Remote desktop services Manager-- used with IP/Host name-- Still can not see the users list and processes. So i can not kill the session if needed.
Enviroment:
TS CALS 20 currently accessing 15 users
VM-WARE GUEST: 2008 RS Terminal Services/Remote Desktop services installed
Windows up to date-- Just updated last month
Problem is here for long time. Just couldn't find the time to trouble shoot.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have tried many steps, I suggest you to try below command line and power shell command if successful in your case. Please try below command with Admin access:
qwinsta /server:<servername>
To kill a session use rwinsta to delete the session specifying the ID number:
rwinsta /server:computer01 3
Here's the list of command line tools for Remote Desktop Or, you can use PowerShell:
Get-RDUserSession and Disconnect-RDUser
Please check the list of Power Shell command from
this link.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

All users prevented from logging in

After upgrade Server to Yosemite ALL users are prevented from logging in. In server app clicking on a user name shows this for each user:
And there doesn't seem to be any way to make "log in" active…
Ideas?

Never expect any server migration to succeed. Restore from a backup, then export the users. Copy the startup volume to an external drive and upgrade that. Test. If the same thing happens, destroy the OD master and import the users as a test.

Not all users are displayed for log on after a reboot or startup...

Problem summary: Not all users are displayed for log on after a reboot or startup...
This problem only occurs after a fresh start-up or restart. The only users displayed are the initial (admin user) and "Guest". Two other (non-admin) users are not shown for log on.
To work around this problem and get them to log on we have to log on as the admin user, then we can see the other users in the Fast User Switching menu (top right-hand corner of the screen), listed under the current logged on user. After selecting the non-admin user we can log in and use the laptop as normal.
If we lock the screen, use fast user switching or log out all users; all users are available for log in, until a reboot is done; at which point the non-admin users disappear again and we have to log in as the admin user and use fast user switching again.
The laptops are both brand new MacBook Airs. The initial configuration of Mac OS X Yosemite was done using the Apple ID of the purchaser (parent) and then the OS was patched, immediately, through the App store (no further updates available as of the date of this posting). After this Family Sharing was activated and new users set up for the two children who will be using these laptops.
Has anybody else experienced this problem with Yosemite?
Cheers,
David.

David,
Users not enabled for FileVault unlock are only able to log into the computer after an unlock-enabled user has started or unlocked the drive. Once unlocked, the drive remains unlocked and available to all users, until the computer is restarted.
FileVault has to be On.
To Enable the users to be able to unlock FileVault Go to:
System Preferences > Security & Privacy > FileVault ( Tab ) > Click the Lock in the bottom left > Put in your administrator password > Should see an option to Enable Users > Enable User.
Hope that helps,
Weston
