System DSN not visible to 'domain users', why??

We have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services RDS farm.
I set up a 32-bit *system* DSN properly with the 32-bit ODBC app for Crystal Reports 2011, a 32-bit app.
When a domain user opens CR the newly created DSN does not appear in CR, though it appears for an admin user.
Why is the system DSN not visible to the domain users per se??
I checked the proper registry item and gave 'Domain Users' read permission to it, still no work.
Certain users need to see the DSN so they can configure the report to talk to the proper server, database, etc.
System DSNs are supposed to be visible/usable to all users.
What should I do??
Thank you, Tom

FWIW some other DSNs are visible to CR2011 but nothing we can use, they were somehow automagically created during installation of other software stuff.
I've tried every way I can think of to install the DSNs (different providers, different accounts) but I still can not get the desired DSN visible to my domain user login after opening a Crystal Reports 2011 report and clicking 'change database location'...
I thought about and tried using a DSN-less connection string but that did not go very far...it would be usable, people could type in ID and password if they must, but I could not get it to even let that happen...I also did not quite know what the string
should be, the database itself is SQL Server 2012 (11.0), I don't know the exact version OTOH.
The Remote Desktop Services Hosts are all Windows 2012 R2...could that be the cause of the problem?? Every other server I've put system DSNs was 2003 or 2008...
Thank you, Tom

  • One user from AD is not visible in portal user administration

    Hi,
    one of our users defined in Active Directory is unable to log into the portal. We have Kerberos authentication.
    I've checked this user is also not visible in portal user administration. The rest of the users are visible and are able to log in.
    Any ideas what could be the cause?
    Maybe some settings/attributes for this user on the Active Directory side could be the cause?
    Regards,
    Ladislav

    Hi,
       Could you please check and confirm if the user,group path are the same for the
    particular user on AD as that referred to by the portal. If not he would not be on the portal and
      then there would not be kerberos too in place for him.

  • SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot System Service not visible in Central Administration

    Hi all,
    I want to test PowerPivot 2012 on the following configuration:
    - Windows Server 2008 R2 
    - Sharepoint 2010 - Enterprise edition
    - SQL Server 2008 R2 
    - PowerPivot for Sharepoint<o:p></o:p>
    As such, I downloaded SQL Server 2012 Evaluation and tried to upgrade SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint instance to SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot
    for Sharepoint. It didn't work as it's not possible to upgrade from Enterprise to Evaluation edition without a pid.
    Next, I uninstalled the existing SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint and I installed the SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for Sharepoint. 
    I started to configure PowerPivot in Central administration (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210609.aspx) , but I got stuck at the 2nd step Create and Configure a PowerPivot
    Service Application (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210685.aspx) in Central Administration.
    The problem is that both SQL Integration Service  and SQL Server PowerPivot System service are not visible in Central administration > Manage
    services on server; however they are visible and running in Windows Administrative Tools > Services.
    Do you think the services are missing in Sharepoint Central Administration because the Sharepoint configuration database is on SQL Server 2008, while the Powerpivot instance is on SQL Server 2012 ?

    Thank you for the suggestion.
    Meanwhile I have managed to solve the problem. What I've done:
    - remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
    - uninstall PowerPivot
    - reinstall PowerPivot
    - run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - I still got the parent service error
    - remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
    - run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time I received another error regarding the user that runs SQL Server Integration services
    - check  Sql Server Analysis Service account in Central Administration > Security > Service accountsManage service account - it seems that it was running under Local System account, although in Administrative Tools > Services it appeared to
    be run by my domain account
    - set a domain account for Sql Server Analysis Service in Central Administration
    - run the PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time it went smoothly.
    The following url provides very useful info related to this type of issue: http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2012/09/troubleshooting-and-removing-a-failed-installation-or-upgrade-of-powerpivot-for-sharepoint/

  • Cannot see System DSN ODBC Data source (however user DSN is Ok)

    We have installed BO 6.5.1 on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit and set up ODBC Data source to the existing SQL server.
    When we try to set the BO up (Administration>Safe recovery etc.), in the "Database middleware selection" - "Define new connection" - "Data source name" we cannot see the System DSN name that we've created in the Window's "ODBC data source administration" control panel applet. If we create a User DSN, we can see it ok but it works for one user only (as it should).
    So, in a nutshell, if we setup a User DSN it works fine but if we setup a system-wide System DSN BO cannot see it. I've got no idea why...
    Can anyone point me to the right direction, please?

    Are you using the ODBC Administrator from control panel?  If so, try launching this instead:  odbcad32.exe from start/run.
    This is the 32-bit ODBC administrator and since we are a 32-bit application, a 32-bit DSN will need to be configured.

  • Systems are not visible in SM Work Centers

    Hi,
    I am facing strange problems in the Solution Manager Work Centers.
    I have connected some managed systems to the Solution Manager, their data can be displayed normally in SMSY, SLD, solution_manager, ccmsping availabilty in RZ20....
    But when I go to the workcenters, there are no systems listed (tabs like System Landscape Management, System Monitoring). What is strange
    - I can see CCMSPING statuses in the top of the screen (red/green/gray icons with numbers of systems) but I cannot see the list of systems.
    - RCA tab is correct, but this is special configuration in my opinion, so not related to my issue.
    I suppose this is somehow related to the queries but I haven't been able to find a solution.
    I checked filters, but with no success.
    I have full authorizations (sap_all, SMWORK roles).
    Version of system: SM 7.01 / SPS 28, managed systems ERP6 or NW7.3
    Thanks a lot for advice!
    Vasek

    Hi Jansi,
    I have checked solman_setup, everything seems to be fine. I assigned to my user sap_all and all SMWORK roles, so there shouldn't be any authorization issue.
    What is strange, I can see the list of systems in some filters, when I open Favourites management popup windows or for example on the Downtime management tab. But System Management shows only availability icons with correct numbers, all other data are empty (All Systems (0) ABAP Systems (0)Java Systems (0)Favorites (0))...
    Why?

  • Mac Photoshop layers not visible to Windows user

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Mac. My client requested a PSD file saved with layers, which I provided. Her web developer is on Windows CS6 and is unable to see the layers in the file. Do you know why the layers are not visible to the Windows user?

    Look under your PS Preferences > File Handling
    How are you sending the file? Some email programs can alter files.
    If you are saving a separate copy for your Windows users, see that layers is checked in the dialog.
    Here's a screenshot for suggested File handling settings.

  • Initiator Task not visible to other users in the Group

    Hi
    JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, WLS 10.3.6, BPM 11.1.1.6
    I have a Process and the swimlane containing the Initiator Task is assigned to a Group.
    All the users in the group are able to Initiate the Task.
    But when the Task is initiated, the Task is assigned to the User specifically, but not to the Group. I guess this is the default behavior.
    The Human Task Assignee - defaultPerformer for the Initiator Task is uneditable in the initiator.task file.
    What I was expecting is that, since the Initiator swimlane is assigned to the Group, All the users in the Group should be able to see the Tasks initiated by anyone in the Group.
    I want this behavior in the Initiator type of tasks specifically. (The normal Tasks other than Initiator tasks are working as expected.)
    The reason why we want this is, let us say after the task is created, and before it is submitted, there is a lot of work to be done, for example, data entry, should be done by many people in the Group.
    If all the users in the Group are able to see the Initiator Task, then it will help to share the responsibility of data entry among the users of the group.
    I tried Reassigning the task to Group, and it works, but we am looking for something automatically assigning to the Group when the Process is created. (We may not be using the Oracle BPM Workspace at all).
    Can anyone please tell us if there is a way to make the Initiator Task automatically assigned to the Group instead of just the user?
    Thanks for any help
    Sameer

    Hi Ashwini
    Thanks for replying.
    I did the same and it was working for me even if the Type is Single.
    I just gave the Group name and all users were able to see the task. This is fine with me.
    I just observed one more thing.
    When the task is created, all the users in the Group are able to see it in 'Me & My Group'.
    But the data entered by the creator is not seen by other users.
    There is an action 'Save' in the Task. If the creator clicked on it, then the task is automatically 'Acquired' by the creator.
    Other users in the group are able to see the task and the saved data, but are not able to Submit.
    What I expected the Save button to do is only to Save the data in the Payload. Not Claim it.
    Is there a way to make the payload data only to save but not to claim the task?
    Thanks and Regards

  • SAP RM: How can I create a Node when the node is not visible for the user

    Hi,
    Product: SAP records Management for Public Sector
    Version: 7.00
    is it possible to create a instance node when the model not is not visible for the active user?
    I looked in the CL_SRM_XML_REC_MODEL but every methode I used gave me no results with the special user.
    Regards and thanks for every beginning
    Fanninger Thomas

    Hi,
    here an example.
    When I use the method CL_SRM_XML_REC_INSTANCE->IF_SRM_XML_POID~GET_ALL( POID_TAB COUNT_USER_REST COUNT_POID_AUTH ).
    When I used the user with no right for viewing the invisible nodes I get no elements in the tabelle POID_TAB and 38 in the value COUNT_USER_REST.
    So did any one know a solution you can I create a nodes and change the restriction for the new node with the normal user?

  • Active Sync does not start as domain user with no Administrator rights.

    Hi all,
    Searched the forums and the net but can't find anything about this.
    Situation:
    In a domain where users only have standard users rights I installed on a PC as a domain admin Active Sync 4.5
    When I logon as a user the Active Sync software can not be started.
    I disabled the firewall and even set full rights permission on the Active Sync directory both didn't help out.
    When I m logged on as this user I can choose to Start the program as a different user.
    This only works when I Start it with the domain administrator account.
    I hope that I do not have to give that information to this user to make this software work.....
    Anyone had the same problems? Anyone a idea?
    Thx in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Aartjan

    try this:
    1. make sure you install "activesync" from local harddisk (not from network), and do not delete the setup file after
    installation
    2. local in as "local administrator" and connect your PDA and make sure it can sync, I did not create a profile and just leave PDA connect as "guest" for now
    3. log off and re-login as "domain user", connect with USB should work
    4. if they still cannot communicate, run "ActiveSync" from start menu
    it works for me

  • Please help my flv video file works perfectly localy...but its not visible in remote ftp why??

    flash files to ftp?
    thanks in advance

    This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
    1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
    2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
    3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
    Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric

  • Shared Tasks not visible to other User

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem that I have shared Tasks of User-A to User-B. But when I open shared Task at User-B MS Outlook it opens but no tasks of User-A are visbile.
    For Testing
    I Shared User-A shared tasks for myself with same permissions & are visible to me.
    I Shared my Tasks for User-B & are visible to User-B.
    I Shared User-B Tasks & are also visible to me.
    I Created new Outlook profile for User-B, Upgraded Office Version from 2007-2010, Created new Windows login Profile, login him on some other PC but still User-B is unable to View User-A shared tasks.
    I login User-B on OWA (Webmail) still User-B is unable to View User-A shared Tasks.
    I have checked for User Mailbox permissions but found nothing.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.

    Hi,
    If User-A shared a calendar folder to User-B, could User-B open the shared calendar in his Outlook? or are those calendar items visiable in that time? 
    If yes, please separately get the
    Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity
    [email protected]:\Calendar
    & Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity
    [email protected]:\Task
    And then compare their permission to find the difference entry.
    Or you may directly check the User-B's permission under User-A's folder:
    Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity
    [email protected]:\Task -User [email protected]
    This might not the problem on User Mailbox permissions level but Mailbox folder permissions level. Thanks.
