Remove admin requirements for user font installation..

I have been struggling with a solution to this issue.
My web/design teams are constantly installing font packages on their windows 7. However, I cannot find a way to allow them to install fonts with their local accounts without giving them admin rights. I built a little batch file that I thought would take care
of the issue when i deployed the machines, but it doesn't seem to be working (clears all attributes from c:\windows\fonts and gives ownership to the current user.
Another issue is that we have decided (within group policy) to disable the admin escalation popups for standard users (whenever something requires admin access, it doesn't give them the option to type in user/pass).
Any ideas guys? I would prefer to do this through a GP but I havent been able to find a solution
Batch File Contents:
attrib -r -s c:\Windows\Fonts
takeown /f c:\Windows\Fonts /r /d n
cacls c:\Windows\Fonts /e /t /g users:c
cacls c:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT /e /t /g users:c
Registry Setting is :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsot\Windows NT\Current Version\Fonts = full control.

  • Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user

    Hello.
    I have Exchange 2010SP3 2 DAG member in cluster.
    Recently i have warning in app log on a second DAG member:
    Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user GUID.Encountered error 0xfffffae8. Should this message continue to persist for the same mailbox, it may be indicative of a problem that requires further investigation. 
    I read all post wich say just unmount and mount database.
    I can't find any user wich have guid containted in error.
    So that i need to do?
    Can i use StartDAGmaintenance and reboot a server,then after reboot use StopDAGmaintenance?

    Hi,
    I suggest to refer to this blog to find this mailbox by GUID.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/ehlro/archive/2010/04/22/how-to-find-the-object-that-belongs-to-a-guid.aspx
    Then check which database this mailbox belongs to, dismount and mount this database.

  • How do I remove the requirement for a signature from a PDF?

    I can't have my associates and customers signing a document that does not require their signature. How do I remove this requirement from the PDF?
    (Yes, I have seen the other threads on this subject but the registry entries described are not in my registry and merely disabling the user interface doesn't remove the REQUIREMENT for the signature in the first place.)
    Thank you,
    David Smith

    You can set standard password security by selecting: FIle > Properties > Security > Security Method > Password Security
    and in the dialog that's presented, set the security restrictions so that no changes are allowed, or to whatever else you want.

  • Requirements for user authentication

    In my trials of configuring the software, it seems that the only option of providing user access authentication is via LDAP integration. This seems a heavy requirement for non-enterprise usage.
    I created a default directory service, but cannot enable access control without setting up distributed access, which seems to require LDAP. Installing LDAP has it's own set of prerequisites. Is all this really necessary? Am I misunderstanding the documentation?
    Thanks,
    Sean Wyatt

    Dear sean.wyatt,
    LDAP is not the only option for user-auth. There are key files and digest files. Or you have some reason to use only LDAP.

  • Looking for what software required for Enterprise Manager Installation

    Hi All,
      I am fairly new in working with Enterprise Manager, Previously used 11g Database Control, but never install Enterprise Manager (OEM). Now due to the increase in databases, I am considering to install OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) to list all database (from over 20 Linux severs) to one location.
    I have read documentation and still confused on what should be installed for OEM. I am planning to use OEM 12c Release (12.1.0.4), my current databases are 11gR2 (11.2.0.4 ).
    Could you tell what I need from below list?
    OEM (12.1.0.4)
    Web Logic server (Do I need that separately, or will this be installed with OEM?)
    OEM Agent on all other 20 servers (do I need to install separate software on them? Please guide)
    Any specific version of Java.
    Please guide me if I need any other software or plugin.
    I have already installed oracle software and have created a database by using “Custom” option in DBCA. My server OS is Linux 64 Bit for Enterprise Manager.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    You would need 12c OEM cloud control software , Database software(For creating repository) and agent software (For monitoring targets on other hosts)
    Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6.0.43.0 and Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.6) are installed by default with the 12c OMS installation although you do have a option of installing it separately if you want but Oracle strongly recommends using the 12c installation process to install the JDK and Oracle WebLogic Server for use with Enterprise Manager 12c.
    Below is the link for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Architecture
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e25353/overview.htm#EMCON112

  • Minimal requirements for standard apps installation (with vision demo)

    Hello all,
    We want to have our own apps (R12) installation for using OBIEE on it.
    Therefor we want to install all the modules with the vision database.
    The system is not used for data entry it is only to connect with obiee (this is on antother machine)
    So there is only 1 concurrent user. The GUI must be running. Because sometimes you want to find out where a certain field stores it values in the database.
    I looked in the manual, but it only says that the requirements depends on different things like number of users etc.
    My question, what do you think what kind of machine we have to buy?
    (Most likely we are installing it on a windows machine because no one have any unix knowlegde)
    Hope to hear something!
    Best regards,
    Remco

    I would reconsider if we do the installation in
    linux, cause I thought it would be better as well.
    But I think installing apps is a hard thing so doing
    it on linux would even be harder, but may be it is
    wise to hire someone for this.I do not think you need to someone to do that. All what you need is to follow the installation steps outlined in the following notes:

  • Xlc file Required for Oracle Product Installation on AIX 6.1

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install Oracle 11g Forms & Reports on AIX 6.1 [TL12].
    I have installed JDK and Weblogic Server without any Errors.
    When we reach 93% on software Alone installation with 11g Forms & Reports, we got some error
    ERROR IN INVOKING TARGET 'RELINK'  OF MAKEFILE  '///INS_PRECOMP.mk'We raised a SR for this Error, Oracle Support given one solution to follow.
    >
    Yes, there is a known issue with AIX OS.
    Before starting the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Classic installation on IBM AIX, check for "xlc" availability on the system. It should be present either under /usr/bin/ or under >/usr/vac/bin directory.
    If /usr/vac/bin/xlc is present, create the following symlink as root user:
    # ln -s /usr/vac/bin/xlc /usr/local/bin/xlc
    If /usr/bin/xlc is present, create the following symlink as root user:
    # ln -s /usr/bin/xlc /usr/local/bin/xlc
    Please clean up the failed install and start new install once you follow the above steps and let me know the results.But Unfortunately in our AIX 6.1 Box we dont have any 'XLC', in any of the folder in entire file system.
    What is this XLC ?? if that is not available how to create the SYMLINK ?
    Kindly Some one Advice me.

  • What privileges or role is required for user to acces the explain plan?

    Hi mates,
    Can anyone pls tell me what privileges or roles(grants) are requred for a user to access the explain plan in oORACLE 8i 8174..
    I think the select any dictionary is not valid for explain plan accessibility in 8i.
    Cheers.

    I already had that... Just that a user (not a dba) requires access to the explain plan and I dont want to grant him a dba role.
    Are you aware of any other grant I can give to the user?

  • Remove Approval Required for SIT in SSHR

    Hi
    We've added Special Information to Employee Self Service but it goes through the approval hierarchy. How do we de-activate this so that no approval is required. The SIT is forms based.
    Thanks

    All the SSHR workflow transactions are by default included in an AME condition which goes to the supervisor hierarchy.
    To disable this rule:
    either remove the SIT JSP_PRC attribute from this standard AME Condition (it will be easy to spot as it has a long list of workflow process names in the condition)
    or
    remove the AME call from the function parameters for this workflow transaction. The parameters will look something like this
    &pAMETranType=SSHRMS&pAMEAppId=800&pProcessName=HR_GENERIC_APPROVAL_PRC
    Regards

  • OIM 11g: How to remove rule requiring unique user email addresses

    Use the OIM 11g Administrative and User Console to update a user's email address to be the same as another user's address and on save you get error message:
    "The user with the attribute Email and value [email protected] already exists"
    In OIM 9.1 we used to be allowed duplicate email addresses.
    OIM 11g wants them to be unique (refer OIM 11g User Guide table 11-2 in section "11.2 User Entity Definition" which shows the email attribute properties with unique:yes).
    How do you change this to "unique:no"?
    The OIM 11g Admin Guide section "14 Configuring User Attributes" describes the User.xml file in MDS but doesn't mention unique properties.
    The System Properties accessed via System Management->System Configuration doesn't show anything that looks like an option to enforce email address uniqueness.
    Thanks

    OIM 11g does not allow duplicate email addresses. We asked Oracle about this and they responded that the feature (duplicate email addresses) was "removed from OIM 11g due to sending mail notifications, security and other related
    concerns". We think we can live with this restriction and did not make an enhancement request.
    The user guide does show that email address is unique:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14316/usr_mangmnt.htm#BGBDCDCH
    but there's no way to override the rule.
