Running Quicktime Plugin for IE as Non-Admin User

I'm trying to run quicktime 7.4 in a student computer lab. All logins are "User" group, non admin accounts. I cannot get the quicktime plugin for IE to work. Any embedded quicktime files on web pages just show the dreaded "Quicktime Question Mark". Also, when I look at the Mime Types in the settings, it is blank. Can someone help me with the permissions to get this running correctly? Thanks!

I'm seeing similar behavior as well.
when I direct click a link to a png (from Outlook for example), that opens up IE7, the quicktime plugin loads. If I'm running IE7 as an administrator or the site is in my trusted sites it loads no problem, although I briefly see the quicktime splash screen before the image loads.
If I'm running as a regular user, the page is blank, and I get a script error saying 'object expected'. Refreshing the page does nothing. However, a hard return in the address bar will display the image.
The only way to fix this was to uncheck png as a mime type handled by the quicktime browser plugin. I shouldn't have to run as administrator to get the plugin to handle directly linked pngs.

How to allow access to winrs for non-admin user?

I have Windows Server 2012 (and Server 2008, but it is next priority) to monitor it using txwinrm. txwinrm library internally is using WinRS protocol. I have to monitor it using least privileged user, but don't know how to configure access for him.
All I managed to do - is to configure remote Powershell session for my user, but it's look like that winrs and powershell sessions have different security descriptors:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential Administrator $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential lpu1 $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:Administrator -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:lpu1 -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# Gives Winrs error: Access is denied.
Configuration for my user is following:
(Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\RootSDDL).value
# O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1141)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GWGX;;;WD)
(Get-PSSessionConfiguration -name Microsoft.Powershell).SecurityDescriptorSddl
# O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1149)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GXGW;;;WD)
(In each security descriptor my user is given general access to protected object).
So what security descriptor should I set to make my winrs query work for non-admin user?

Hi Bunyk,
I can not recreate the erroe you posted, and please also post the screenshoot in your convenience.
I tested with a non-domain user but has the local admin permission of the remote computer, and this worked, before running the remote cmdlet in powershell, I also configured the TrustedHosts.
In addition, the access denied could be also caused to the Protocol Filtering on the remote server, for more detailed information, please refer to this thread:
winrs error:access is denied
I hope this helps.

Reader 9.5.1 Crashes after a few seconds for non-Admin users

I have Adobe Reader 9.5.1 installed on some Citrix XenApp 5.0 servers that are Windows 2003. Any time a non-admin user launches Reader it is open for a matter of seconds and then crashes. It shows a Dr Watson crash in the error logs each time. If I logon as an Administrator, it works just fine. I've tried reinstalling/repairing the installation to no avail.
Has anybody run into this in the past or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

My company is into same issue but thing is that I cannot uninstall the MS patch as it will be vulnerability for our servers and we have opened a case with MS and they have reveiwed the proc dump and now MS is asking to get this reviewed with Adobe. I'm not sure how to reach out to Adobe Support to get the fix from them. Any solution on this regard, it will be great help. Thanks, Sayed.

Disable Quicktime plugin for Internet Explorer

There has been discussion on a number of forums regarding the Quicktime plugin for Windows Internet Explorer and how it will hijack file associations, preventing them from being opened up with your default application. This only occurs when clicking on a link on a website. This even occurs when the file assocations in Windows are set to open a particular media file with your desired player. Disabling the Quicking plugin in the Internet Explorer settings may only makes things worse because instead of the file playing with the Quicktime plugin, Internet Explorer displays a red "X", and doesn't play the media. Uninstalling Quicktime is a solution, but if you, like me, own a Apple device and use iTunes, Quicktime must be installed. There are a number of postings on the web with potential solutions, but none of them worked for me.
After troubleshooting for some time, I have finally figured out how to disable the plugin once and for all. I have narrowed it down to the registry entry that apparently loads the plugin into Internet Explorer. By simply deleting this entry, the Quicktime plugin will no longer load with IE and media will be launched with your favorite player. You can easily revert back to the Quicktime plugin by restoring the registry entry from a backup. Below, I have provided the reg.exe command line commands to backup and delete the registry entry.
1) Close out of Internet Explorer.
2)Backup with this command:
reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " C:\qt_plugin1.reg
NOTE: This registry path is for Windows x64 (64-bit). I am not certain of the path for Windows x86 (32-bit), but I assume you may just need to remove Wow6432Node from the path. If it is not there, open regedit.exe and search for 4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69.
3) Delete with this command:
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " /f
4) Open Internet Explorer and test. When you click on a music or video link, your default media player should now launch.
I have tested this myself several times, including a reinstallation of Quicktime, and it worked. If it doesn't work for some reason, you can try performing the same steps with the following registry entries. Do one at a time and test so that you don't delete anything unnecessary.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{CB927D12-4FF7-4A9E-A169-56E4B8A75598}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Compo nents\3F9E7EA97A1AEE54490637032025DEF9
If you wish to restore the Quicktime plugin, simply double-click the registry file that you backed up in step 2. Click yes when it asks you to confirm. Now when you open Internet Explorer and click on a link, the Quicktime plugin will load and play the media.

I mentioned I have the Acrobat Pro 9 version.
Also, Im using IE 8.

FF 21.0 Does not recognize Quicktime Plugin for new users

Running OSX 10.8.3 on a late 2012 27" iMac. For some reason FF will not load the Quicktime plugin for a newly created user. It fails on two different iMacs and both OSX 10.8.3 and OSX 10.7.5. It does load the plugin for users that were created before FF 21.0 was installed. A very strange problem.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" to make Firefox find them again.

Using Runas /savedcred with UAC with a non admin account

Perhaps ths should be posted in the sysinternals section but im trying to use this one as we are on a Windows 2008R2 server so feel free to point me to another board if thats the case.
The Problem:
We are trying to script access to a program that requires admin priviliges admin for a non admin user.
I was utilizing the method outlined here :
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/193743-elevated-program-shortcut-create-standard-user.html
However we have the following error comes back from runas..
RUNAS ERROR Unable to run "D:\program files(x86)\blah.exe" error 87 the parameter is incorrect.
command string looks like this :
runas /user:Brink-PC\Administrator /savecred "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe"
No errors in the security or application logs...
Many thanks in advance for assistance

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
If i understand you correctly, you want to access a program with admin privileges.

Multi-user system, non-admin-users get "error 46" when downloading quicktim

Thanks in advance if you have some idea about where the root cause is.
Error message:
"Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control."
Context:
- WinXP SP2 fully patched (as of 06/20/2006)
- Multiple users: 1-Admin, all others a member of the Users group
- Simple File Sharing is enabled (this problem does not change when this option is disabled)
- iTunes 4.9.x and QuickTime 7.1 installed
- Programs have been uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with no change
Symptoms:
- All system users can view quicktime movies when they are embedded in web pages.
- Administrator can launch quicktime and view *.mov files, all others get Error 46 (see above) when attempting to launch quicktime or double-clicking on .mov files
- File association properties (under Contorl Panel | Folder Options | File Types) shows .mov opens with QuickTime Player (deselecting this displays WMP as the application)
- Users Browsing to a directory where .mov files are located, displays the WMP icon instead of quicktime (as under folder options)
This all used to work. It appears that this became broken in the last month or two, after either patching XP, or installing QuickTime 7.1 to gain H.264 codec functionality.
Is there a guaranteed way to force system wide file assoc that is reliable?
Is there a tool that parses the registry and displays what activeX controls are in use for a particular system operation?
Thank you!

Fixed this using http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html and regedit.exe.
On my system, found that non-admin users were being denied access to these registry keys:
HKEYCLASSESROOT\QTOControl.QTControl
HKEYCLASSESROOT\QTOControl.QTControl.1
fix (both): add group users: read
That's because the non-admin accounts are members of the "users" group on my system. You may need to adjust this to match what is on your system.
Regedit can modify these permissions (but don't do it unless you are confident you can recover if you cause a problem). An easy fix, once the problem is identified. Some of you have already figured this out already.
Use regmon to get comfortable with how it works, make sure you grok the filtering, it's your friend.
Modifying the registry at your own risk. Remember to use a registry backup utility! I used http://www.fixregistry.com/download.htm "Registry Healer"
All non-admin users are operational at this time. I did not have to update iTunes and H.264 content works!
So it looks like this is a bug in the QuickTime 7.1 installer? Anyone have any insight about why this is happening with some regularity (at least according to the message board posts I'm seeing this month...)
Maybe the info is some help,

A Solution for Enabling Sandbox activation by non admin users for testing (OIM 11gr2 PS2)

I just wanted to post what i came up with as a solution the the problem of not being able to Test the effects of sandbox changes for non admin level users prior to their publication. We are constantly making changes to the UI through sandboxes, the problem is rolling a sandbox back isn't easy, and we cannot be sure of the effects they will have on non administrative users until they are published, since the out of the box sandbox link isn't available to non Sysadmin level users.
To allow these non admin user accounts to test the effects of sandbox changes in our development environment, I did the following (as always, follow at your own risk):
Create and activate a new sandbox.
Close all open tabs (including the Home and Sandbox tabs) and click the "Customize" link.
Click the view -> source drop down in the upper left.
After the source is visible, click the Accessibility or Sandbox link to find the area that you will add the new "UserSandboxTest" (call it whatever you want) link.
Add a new commandImageLink directly in the panelGroupLayout: horizontal item before the "switcher" item (see the UserSandboxLink in my screen shot below):
Edit the Link you just inserted, Entering whatever you want the link to display as in your browser in the "Text" field.
Export the sandbox.
Unzip the exported sandbox and navigate to the IdmShellV2.jspx.xml (path should be: \templates\mdssys\cust\site\site).
Edit the IdmShellV2.jspx.xml file and find the new item you added in step 5.
Add the following to the commandImageLink xml item: actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.uiShell.context.launchSandboxes}" rendered="#{oimcontext.currentUser.roles['SANDBOX_USER'] != null}". Note: I used a new custom enterprise role, SANDBOX_USER, to control the display of the new link, You should substitute whatever EL conditions you need in the rendered property.
Save your IdmShellV2.jspx.xml file and zip the contents back up, just like you would for any other customization.
Import your newly edited sandbox back into the target environment.
Publish the sandbox.
This seems to work great for allowing us to test other sandbox changes effects on different types of users.

On step 10, adding the check to determine if the user should have access to the role ended up breaking access to the unauthenticated pages like the self registration page and the forgot userid/user login pages. Non-authenticated users cannot execute the method to return the role, so that fails which leaves the page not loading. To correct this I changed the rendered property to rendered="#{securityContext.authenticated}". This prevents the link from displaying on non authenticated pages, but displays for anyone else who's logged on. We only plan on using this in our development environment where no one but developers and system admins have access anyway, so it's not an issue that everyone will see the link. I wouldn't recommend putting this in an environment where end users will be logging in and testing without developing a method (or finding another way to limit the display) that can be called by unauthenticated users to prevent them from seeing the link.

Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
any one with a solution or similar problem?
thanks for any help.

I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

Generic Object Services - View Attachments disabled for non admin user

Hi,
I am using SAP 4.7 and the attachments created using table TOA01 - archive link are visible to an administrator user through Generic Object Services toolbox while same View Attachments option appears disabled for other non admin users.
Kindly help !

Hi Neha,
I'm sorry I don't have answer to your question but I wonder if you could help me.
I'm looking at OSS note 530792 to configure GOS 'create attachment' option to copy the attachments to the archive server. currently, these are written to the SAP office tables SOC3, SOFFCONT1, etc and I want to use the archivelink and SAPHTTP and copy to the archive storage.
Have you successfully managed to configure your system since you mentioned TOA01?
In the same GOS menu I've activated the 'Business document' option and can copy these to the archive server by correctly configuring OAC2 and OAC3.
I'll really appreciate of you could please share your knowledge.
Thanks.

Majority of reports missing for non admin users

I have followed the instructions here (SCCM 2012–Reporting in console for non-admins (Reporting User Role) v2) to allow non admin users the ability to view
reports in the console. So far, so good. However, when viewing the reports with the non admin user, only about 100 of the 400+ reports appear.
Am I missing something here?

The custom reporting one in the link I provided, and also modified versions of the following:
OS Deployment manager (removed rights to All driver related items (drivers and driver packages), Boot image packages (except read access), Operating system installation packages).
Application Administrator (removed Application>Approve; Distribition Point>Set Security Scope; Distribution Point Group>Set Security Scope; Global Condition>Set Security Scope)
The reports missing we care about primarily are Software ones (companies and products and files).

Help-I want to move my stuff out of admin user account to a non-admin user account for security. How can this be done?

So... I have amassed loads of documents, videos, music, photos, etc. onto my MacBook Pro all under the admin user account I set up for myself. I am the only one who uses the MacBook. I now work virtually and am online at different free wifi spots, and I want to access all of my stuff under a non-admin user account for security reasons.
I attempted to uncheck the "allow this user to administer this computer" box under my admin user account, but it is greyed out and I cannot.
Is there an easier way to fix this than backing up all of my stuff and then moving it to a non-admin account?

There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield.

User Interface Access Customisation for non admin users

Hi,
It is understood that for non-admin users, some features of the Planning Interface is not enabled and this can be controlled by proper access permissions. But, is it possible to extend the customization to provide some additional features in the menu bar for an user?
For example, if View User wants to manage task lists. Is it possible by some sort of customization? Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create right click menus, and you can also create links on the tools page. Would any of these help you?
Here is the doc on those subjects:
Creating and Updating MenusAdministrators can create right-click menus and associate them with data forms, enabling users to click rows or columns in data forms and select menu items to:
Launch another application, URL, or business rule, with or without runtime prompts
Move to another data form
Move to Manage Approvals with a predefined scenario and version
The context of the right-click is relayed to the next action: the POV and the Page, the member the user clicked on, the members to the left (for rows), or above (for columns).
When designing data forms, use Other Options to select menus available for Data Form menu item types. As you update applications, update the appropriate menus. For example, if you delete a business rule referenced by a menu, remove it from the menu.
To create, edit, or delete menus:
Select Administration, then Manage, then Menus.
Perform one action:
To create a menu, click Create, enter the menu's name, and click OK.
To change a menu, select it and click Edit.
To delete menus, select them, click Delete, and click OK.>
Specifying Custom ToolsAdministrators can specify custom tools, or links, for users on the Tools page. Users having access to links can click links from the Tools menu to open pages in secondary browser windows.
To specify custom tools:
Select Administration, then Application, then Settings.
For Show, select Advanced Settings.
Click Go.
Select Custom Tools.
For each link:
For Name, enter the displayed link name.
For URL, enter a fully qualified URL, including the http:// prefix
For User Type, select which users can access the link.
Click Save.
