Use one account or multiple for 10 domain users of Office 2013 Home & Business
I have 10 seats of the retail version of Office Home & Business 2013 for use in a domain environment. Windows 7 Pro 64, Server 2008R2 environment. No exchange. Blank slate.
Should I install all with the same account for ease of management, or setup a new MS Live account for each user? Can I do either, and what are the advantages to each?
Thank you.
Hi,
Both are ok, but neither is really good.
In your scenario, I suggest you use Office 365 to manage all these, which is more recommended:

Dear Support Team,
Every time i tried to logon Icloud its gives me wrong user name or password and at the end it show me error " This Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud Account" then how can i use one account for same Apple ID and ICloud?
ThanksIt is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

We have purchased 5 apple minis and would like them all on one account, that way we can monitor the use of these units. They will be used strickly for a business application. Can I use one account in itunes or must i have multiple.
Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with. -
We have 15 volunteers who are using One account we set up for them. They login at the same time and need to make 1-800 calls (same number) concurrently. Right now, when you start pressing 800 all of sudden the display goes blank (cx300) and can't even finish
entering the number. We have Lync 2010 and 2013 running together and most services moved to Lync 2013. Before we introduced Lync 2013 we did have this problem, but only intermittently. Now with Lync2013 it is consistent issue.
What settings do I change?
Do I need to create more accounts and assign Lync #s respectively?Hi,
Would you please tell us what did you do with this scenario?
Please check if there is any error message from Mediation Server and FE Server when the issue happen.
Check if it is a performance issue, you can test to login the same Lync account with two users, make call concurrently. If it works work, it may be a performance issue.
The best way is to create more account and assign to these users.

Use one account for apps and other for itunes match
Hello everybody
My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
Thank you in advanceI would strongly recommend you not do this. You will regret it.
I have played with this issue a lot. You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there. You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again. This really is not what you want to do.
Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music. You don't want to go though the other process.
Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id. if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app. You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time. They are all linked together. -

one account goes offline for no apparent reason. I check Mailbox drop down menu for Take all accounts online, check correct password OK, turn mail off and on, reboot computer, etc. Nothing seems to work. Has happened in the past, but has also "fixed itself" after unknown time periods. One account has not been working now for awhile. I would like to get to the bottom of this.

One account on multiple devices
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to get one account on multiple devices. I know that a personal iTunes account is allowed on at least five devices but I'm trying to get one business account on say "100 devices" is this possible?
Thanks in advanced.Hi rRamiro,
You are correct that with personal Apple IDs you can download apps on 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). The only way to use a single Apple ID on say 100 devices is through the use of Apple Configurator. (click the link and scroll down to the section for Apple Configurator to learn more)
If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app. Most developers will offer a 50% discount on their app when 20 or more VPP licenses are purchased in a single transaction.
With Apple Configurator you can distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
Hope this answers your question!

Hi,
We get plenty of error messages:
SPSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity: Could not retrieve a valid windows identity.
No windows identity for domain\user.
Our SharePoint 2010 environment consists of 2 app and 2 front end servers. We have plenty of SPSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity errors in our SharePoint logs. I found that this is related to C2WTS service. We have this service running under Local System account
and only running on both Front-end servers. We are not using Kerberos in our environment.
My question is should this service be configured with domain account even we are not using Kerberos?
Also should this server be started on App sharepoint servers?
Is any other way to prevent those errors?
Thank you,Since local accounts are unable to query the domain, and I suspect that the Local System account uses a virtual local account (as opposed to the computer's domain account), then the same would apply to your C2WTS.
Yes, configure a domain account (DEDICATED, since C2WTS requires some VERY elevated privileges), and the C2WTS will be able to do all of its domain lookups.

How-to-tick-automatically-adjust-clock-for-daylight-saving-changes-for-domain-users
hi
please help me
I am using windows 2008 as a domain controller with windows XP & windows 7 as a client.
how-to-tick-automatically-adjust-clock-for-daylight-saving-changes-for-domain-users
Thanks in Advance
my mail: [email protected]Some more information would be nice (how many computers are in the domain?), but I think I have what you're looking for.
What you need to do is change a registry key in the client computers. It's located in the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
The string name is DynamicDaylightTimeDisabled and the value for this item is
0 (Kind of weird - by entering 0, you're saying "No, I DON'T want to DISable daylight savings time).
Of course, you'll need to deploy this registry information to the clients from the server. There are several ways to do it, but the first one I'd try is to create a registry preference item on the server and deploy it as a GPP.
This link explains how to do this:

Is it legal to ban the use of Network Magic Pro for registered users
Hi
I have a question ... Is it legal to ban the use of Network Magic Pro for registered users
Cisco would he have to propose a solution : patch, reg file or other solution
Because it's certainly enough to modify one or more files to make Network Magic Pro registered ...
Regards.
DanielHi Daniel,
I'm not sure if it's still possible to create a solution to it. I believe Cisco and Pure Networks (Network Magic) has ended their partnership since last year. -
How to share or synchronize one account on multiple macs?
My family uses one account on iTunes on our central iMac. I would like two of children, who each have their own macs, to be able to access the same music library & purchase songs on their own. How is this done?
I think the best way would be to make different user accounts on the mac, and then just share the library. Then they should be able to see the shared iTunes library, and have their own accounts on iTunes personal to them as well.

WinX missing for domain users (Windows Server 2012/R2, Windows 8/8.1)
Hi,
I recently created a discussion about a Winx (Right Click) issue that I have in my environment. For windows servers 2012/2012 R2 and windows 8/8.1, I don't have the right click menu.
I don't use roaming profiles. The workaround is to manually copy the Winx folder for each user who log on but I would like to understand why it doesn't work.
Here is the previous discussion I created.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/4e80c369-242f-47ba-bd22-aafb9b0a6072/winx-missing-for-domain-users?forum=winserverManagement#ab6deeb2-cbcd-4147-a871-4c76d4cb37af
I really appreciate your help.
ThanksHi,
I could not reproduce the issue.
When i log in the Windows Server 2012 with domain user, the WinX folder already exists ans the Right Click is ok.
So you could create a new domain user to check the result.
