[SOLVED] want to start either wifi or ether at boot for all users

I've just installed arch x64 on my Acer Aspire 5720ZG laptop and need to get networking setup so that it starts automatically with a choice of either wired or wireless, for all users.
Currently I have only managed to get wifi to start with NetworkManager once xfce has started and only for root.

  • Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for all users in Windows 7

    How can i Pin shortcuts to Taskbar and Start Menu for All Users in Windows 7? Office 2007 Word, Excel and Outlook.

    There are a few ways...
    You can configure a default profile which will give you the ability to setup the Start Menu as you want it with the items pinned how you like.  However, in my experience customizations done to the Taskbar are not maintained in a default profile.
    So, one way to get around that would be to create a script and use the "Active Setup" hooks that are built into Windows 7 to achieve the desired results.
    If you combine this script...

    You can get the results you want to get...
    Pinned items on the Taskbar have two components, one is in the file system and the other is in the registry.  You could also use GPO Preferences to add both components to a new profile and therby get similar results.  I played around with this method a little and did get it to work also.

  • Want Central Goods Recipient for all users

    Hi All,
    We want to manitain Central Goods Recipient for all users, now the Recipient is the Goods reciever.
    How will we do configuration for this.
    We have 5 users in one Org. Unit, how we will make one as default.
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Satish,
    I did not quite get what you are trying to say.Could you please be more detailed.The below is my requirment and we are on ECS.
    I want to have a specific user as the central goods receipent.This user must be able to confirm goods and services for PO's created by all other users in that organization.
    My understanding from this thread is that,this can be achived by assigning the role "SAP_BBP_STAL_RECIPIENT",to that user and that user will be able to confirm goods and services for all PO's created by other user also.I tried to do the same and expected to see all PO's created by all other users when i click "Confirm Goods/Services centrally" .
    Thanks

  • How do I make web shortcuts into start screen tiles that can be pushed to all users profile on a computer in Windows 8.1 enterprise?

    We are trying to roll out Windows 8.1 Enterpise in our school system (K-12).
    The focus of this question is how do we take an internet web based shortcut and make it into a screen tile (on the start screen) which will appear for any user's start screen that logs on to the computer?
    The details:
    We came upon a great paper that's entitled "Customize Windows 8.1 Start Screens by Using Group Policy".
    By applying this paper we were able to accomplish our first goal: Lock down the start screen so no user could change it. We accomplished this by using the Start Screen Layout policy setting laid out in the paper.
    Our second goal: to customize the start screen is only half way met. We can set up the start screen the way we want and then export the .xml file. We are able to "reimport" the .xml file when the new user logs in. The installed programs
    will appear on the Start Screen but not the internet based web shortcuts that were on the inital setup start screen.
    (FYI - tried creating these tiles by running the start screen internet explorer app to the intended address and pinning them to the start screen. At this time trying to figure if there is a place to put desktop internet short cuts into a directory to make
    them appear on the Start Screen).
    We can see that the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs is a place for program files to appear on the start screen. Is there a location web based shortcuts can be placed to cause them to automatically appear on the start
    screen for every user as well? If not how do we accomplish getting these into tiles for every user logging in?
    Sorry for the lengthy explanation. Hopefully it gets our question answered and helps others out there in the same boat!

    Karen-
    Results: Did not work. The web based shortcuts did not appear.
    Below is the steps taken with your tips incorporated. (Again it's lengthy sorry about that, but anyone can recreate what was done here. Maybe someone can see something left out by doing/reviewing it).
    Here is what was done:
    1. Installed a fresh install of Windows 8.1 enterprise on a pc. No updates were ran.
    2. During setup created the admin account.
    3. Logged into the account a simple start screen was arranged and setup by:
    Starting desktop Internet Explorer. Going to Technet's website. Clicked tools and then selecting "Add site to Apps" from the drop down menu. Went to Apps screen, right clicked and pinned it to start screen. Repeated this procedure with an
    educational web based site.
    Right clicked a few provisioned apps and unpinned them from the start screen.
    Made a few groups and labeled them. Web based shortcuts were arranged with one provisioned app in that particular group.
    4. Opened a Powershell, right clicked it and ran as administrator. Typed the following:
    export-startlayout -path C:\Users\Public\Master.xml -as xml
    (Master is the name chosen for this test .xml file and was put in a location all users would have privelages to access it).
    5. Opened the command prompt and right clicked and "ran as administrator", typed in gpedit.
    6. In the Local Group Policy under User Configuration, under Start Menu and Taskbar I choose the Start Screen Layout.
    7. Enabled the policy and typed in: C:\Users\Public\Master.xml for the Start Layout File.
    8. Opened computer management, under Local Users and Groups I chose Users, right clicked in the middle screen and created a new user called Alpha.
    9. Logged out of the inital account and logged into newly created Alpha account.
    10. When the Alpha account logged in the start screen came up with everything changed in the inital account but no web based shortcuts were found on the start screen or App view.

  • Windows 8 Start Screen Customization for All Users

    Short Versions:
    How can I permanently remove (and prevent automatic re-installation of) some of the default Packaged Applications installed on Windows 8 Pro?
    How can I save a customized tile arrangement?
    Long Version:  I'm configuring a semi-automated testing system using MDT2012 to install Windows 8 to multiple hardware configurations.  I would like to be able to remove all of the
    default applications except for the Desktop, and Internet Explorer.  I would like to add applications such as the Command Prompt, and Notepad.  Ideally, I would be able to group the tiles in various ways, capture the configuration, and push it to
    all of the automatically generated accounts so that we get a standard layout when testing with a User Account, a Guest Account, and/or an Administrator account.
    Windows 7 and Vista have both been working perfectly for over a year (with MDT2010), and I've managed to update them to work with MDT2012 without too much trouble.  I've gotten all of the
    custom configurations to work, through various means (some scripting, some unattended settings, some task sequence editing, some extensions for the MDT, etc.), however there is one remaining set of configurations that eludes me.  The Start Screen.
    So far, I have tried running a PowerShell script to perform the Remove-AppxProvisionedPackaged during the Audit-User phase, running sysprep /generalize, and capturing the system to a WIM (both
    with, and without the CopyProfile setting), and I'm able to get most of the user settings, the exceptions being the Start Screen, and the default view of the various folders.  I work around the latter by exporting/importing the Bags registry settings
    into the default user account; however the former has completely eluded me.  I have also tried configuring group policy settings; however those only work with the Enterprise edition (which isn't what our customers will be using, so changing the SKU isn't
    an option).

    - Change lock screen to all users:  This can be done now via Group Policy due to an update (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2787100/EN-US)
    - Remove many of default Apps/icons on metro desktop: This is best scripted as part of your Image build process, but I agree that more granularity in GPO would be nice over "Hiding" default AppX packages.
    - Design a custom theme and push it out to all machines:  This has been possible since Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2.  The below detail about the setting is from the Group Policy Settings Reference (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25250),
    an invaluable file for anyone managing GPO:
    File Name: ControlPanelDisplay.admx
    Policy Setting Name: Load a specific theme
    Scope: User
    Policy Path: Control Panel\Personalization
    Registry Information: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization!ThemeFile
    Supported On: At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7
    Help Text: Specifies which theme file is applied to the computer the first time a user logs on.If you enable this setting, the theme that you specify will be applied when a new user logs on for the first time.  This policy does not prevent the user
    from changing the theme or any of the theme elements such as the desktop background, color, sounds, or screen saver after the first logon. If you disable or do not configure this setting, the default theme will be applied at the first logon.

  • LCD starts clear, then goes fuzzy, but only for 1 user

    I have a Westinghouse LCD which worked fine with an employee's Mac mini (X.3.9) until suddenly one day it was very fuzzy and distorted (illegible). I switched to a different user, and it was fine. Reset PRAM. On restart, the dock draws clear initially, then goes fuzzy just as the default background is drawn.
    I tried various tricks with System Prefs, of course, and I tried trashing pref files too, but evidently didn't find the right one. (Permissions are fine, and DiskWarrior runs occasionally.) But I did find software called DisplayConfigX, and although I don't change any of its settings, just displaying the test pattern clears up the screen thereafter. Weird!
    I was sure upgrading to OS X.4.6 would fix the problem, but it hasn't. It still only affects the one user, and it still starts up clear and sharp, then goes sour, and displaying the test pattern clears it up again.
    What am I missing here? Please help me solve the mystery!
    Cheers,

    have you tried removing login items in accounts
    preferences? have you tried dragging the fonts
    folder to the desktop and restarting the computer?
    have you tried dragging the preferences folder to
    the desktop and restarting the computer? these
    things might be helpful to locate the problem.
    Some good points there, thanks. Dumped login items (only standard iApp helpers), and deleted all fonts which FontBook identified as problematic; no joy. There are no user prefs which appear to be involved with the display; removing the user's pref folder sounds extreme, though I may try it.
    I also uninstalled DisplayConfigX and found that rotating the image 90° (and back again) via System Prefs/Monitors also clears it up--until I fast user-switch and then switch back, at which time it's messed up again! Cheers,

  • Want to know in which table is the sessionid for a user stored

    Hello,
    I am using Obiee 10g .
    I would like to create a report having users and the no of sessions they logged in.
    In obiee setting->admin ->manage sessions i can see the session id.
    Can i just know where are they stored.
    I have S_NQ_ACCT table in my db but that have the user but don't have the session id.
    Thanks

    Hi user,
    I wanted to know how to frame the query if the table is v$active_session_history as there are so many columns then how ill know which is related to dashboard and which are not?
    Write a query in your TOAD or SQL plus in the DB that ur using for obiee ,this is the query select sample_time,client_id,session_id from v$active_session_history where session_id=30987
    and check your dashboard manage sessions for the session id and incorporate it in the where clause so you can know which user has run the report.
    hope helps you.

  • How to globally set WiFi to use device management identity certificate for all users?

    I'm using Apple's Profile Management service in Mountain Lion, and discovered through serendipity that an enrolled device can authenticate on EAP-TLS to our WPA2-Enterprise Wifi using the Device Managment Identity Certificate instead of an individually-generated-for-user x509 cert. This is extremely convenient, because then we can effectively revoke a device's cert by unenrolling the device.
    However, I haven't been able to figure out how to make WiFi always designate EAP-TLS and select the Device Management Identity Certificate globally (whether through /usr/bin/networksetup or through the Profile Manager).
    Does anybody have any pointers on how to do this? My goal is to have an OS X >= 10.7 machine at a network login prompt capable of logging into the machine, authenticated against the Open Directory server the machine is already bound to. At present a wireless user cannot do this, as the machine's Wifi preferences haven't yet been set to use the aforementioned device management cert.
    Thanks!
