Users can see documents for all users on the computer?

when I log in to user A and do a search this Mac, it finds all documents even from other users that are supposed to be confidential! How can I change this so that searches only find documents on that user?
Hunter

Guess you're my Ed Snowden go to guy for this stuff.
I have been naively thinking my confidential stuff was confidential. I don't think my staff have the wherewithal to figure that out and they are too busy and generally good people anyway.
One think I did notice when I was browing the Users from my employees computer: all other Users Documents folder had the RED dash on the folder. The only one missing the red dash was from mine which is the confidential User. I did set my documents folder to NO Access earlier today but no red dash appeared on that folder. Just checked it again after a restart. seems odd.
Thanks very much for your help Barney.

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

How to embed fonts in document for all users

Hello,
we are using a custom font for our documents. I know it's possible to embed fonts in document when saving.
Is there an option to enforce this setting with a policy?
I cannot find the right policy in the Office Policy templates.
We are using Office 2013 x86.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, the option is document-based, we can't control this on the Policy level.
If your request is to turn on this option for all new created documents. Since all new documents are based on the Normal.dotm template, a workaround is to create a new Normal.dotm template in which this option is checked:
Browse to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, open Normal.dotm, tick the option and save it as Normal_1.dotm, save it in the same location.
Then rename the old Normal.dotm to Normal.old, rename Normal_1.dotm to Normal.dotm.
Open Word and create a new blank document, you will see this option is ticked.
To deploy this file for all users, we can write a startup script. The process is like: 1. Remove the old Normal.dotm, 2. Copy the new Normal.dotm template from a network shared location to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
I hope the information is helpful to you.

Retrieving user detail, group name for all users

Hi,
How can I retrieve User name, email, authentication, user group name
for all users using SDK.
It is possible to create this report in webi or CR?
Thank you for reply,
Gregor

Use the following code to retrieve this information:
IInfoObjects users = oInfoStore.query("select * from ci_systemobjects where si_kind='user'");
for (int i=0; i<users.size(); i++)
 IUser user = (IUser)users.get(i);
 // user.getTitle(); for user name
 // user.getFullName(); for user's full name
 // user.getEmailAddress(); for user's email address
 // for authentication type:
 IUserAliases alises = user.getAliases();
 for(int j=0; j<aliases.size();j++)
 IUserAlias alias = alises.get(j);
 // alias.getAuthentication() for authentication associated with this alias, since same user can have more than 1 authentication. e.g. Enterprise and Ldap.
 // for user group memberships:
 java.util.Set groups = user.getGroups();
 // the groups Set object will contain SI_ID of all the user groups that this uses is member of. You need to query by the SI_ID of the usergroup to get the group names.
// e.g.
// oInfoStore.query("select si_id, si_name from ci_systemobjects where si_kind='usergroup' and si_id in (a,b,c....)");
where a,b,c are the SI_IDs of the usergroups.
To create a report based on the above fetched data, there are several methods such as:
you can use Java resultset where in you create the report structure in designer and push the data at runtime using java result set objects. Another way is to push this info in Excel or Access and design your report based on that excel\access.

Retrieving User groups and email for all users in a group

Hi Everyone,
I need to create an ADF application to retrieve all the groups in OID, the user would select a group and it should list down all the email addresses in that group.
Can you suggest what is the best way to achieve this. My main concern is how to retrieve groups and email addresses from OID. I was unable to find APIs for it.
Your suggestions are greately appreciated.

In a multi-user environment, a user install a dreamweaver extension,but just the user who install the extension can use it.
Is there a way that administrator install the extension and make this extension available for other users in multi-user environment(e.g. the Windows 7)
Dreamweaver had this capability many releases ago, but it has been dropped, so it's no longer available.

Can't install for all users / possibly permissions issue?

Ok here's the scenario...
I have a citrix server running a Visual Studio application
that has a browser component that needs to load a page that has
flash on it. (mouthfull lol.)
I've logged in as an administrator, and installed the latest
version of flash (uninstalling the previous version first.)
If I go to this page on the server:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507
it tells me flash is working great and is the latest version.
When I'm on the server, (logged in as myself) and I run the
application, everything works fine.
So then I try it through citrix (which is sort of like a
remote desktop for those that don't know) and log in as myself
again, and everything works fine.
But when other users log in... either through citrix, or
directly to the server, they get the message that flash isn't
installed, and they can't install it because they're not
administrators.
so... obviously I can't make all of my users
administrators... is there another fix you guys can think of?
Thanks!

Why can't I import all songs? The computer is authorized but the error message says that it isn't to play some songs...HELP!

I have turned on Home Sharing and Imported most of the orginal library but certain songs won't import. The Itunes tell me that the computer isn't authorized but when I log in it says that it is already authorized. This is very frustrating, please help.

You need to select what you want to import first.

File Associations for all users

How does one go about changing file associations for file types for all users? I've recently installed iWork '08 on a computer on the network and now when I log in as a user it wants to open all of my Excel and Word Documents in Numbers and Pages respectively. How can I get it to default back to Microsoft Office for all of my Microsoft Office documents for all users. The iWork '08 install seemed to just take over, so it must be possible.
Thanks!

Silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 for ALL users?

We ship an installer that does a silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 with all the 'right' parameters pre-configured. We use this:
/QS /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL,BC,Conn,ADV_SSMS /SAPWD=MyPasswordGoesHere /SECURITYMODE=SQL /TCPENABLED=1 /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
However, the problem is that if a tech installs it for another user, that user does not have access, since ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN flag only adds the user who installed it -- rather than adding ALL users on the computer. (Or at least all admins.)
I tried replacing ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN with this:
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"
but that also failed to work. How can we install for all users, or at least all administrators?
NOTE: we do NOT know the name of the computer or the users. The installer has to work for any computer setup.
Similar question has already been asked, but wasn't helpful:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8354675f-be9b-4909-b776-942f03954807/how-to-do-a-silent-install-of-sql-2010-express-for-all-users-on-a-computer?forum=sqlexpress
The documentation does not make it clear what you can pass as allowed SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS parameters. I also am not sure if I would need to change the AGTSVCACCOUNT or SQLSVCACCOUNT?

I tried one more thing:
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
which does not halt installation with an error.
However, doing:
osql -E
create database test
go
in a command prompt from a different admin user on the same machine results in a permissions error... but works if done from a command prompt on the user account from which MSSQLServer was installed.
So for some reason /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators" does not work as expected.
Anyone have any idea why?
I checked the output log from the install, and found it had generated and used a configurationFIle to do the install. I looked in that file, and these were the settings, even though I did NOT pass /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN as a command line option:
; Windows account(s) to provision as SQL Server system administrators.
SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
; The default is Windows Authentication. Use "SQL" for Mixed Mode Authentication.
SECURITYMODE="SQL"
; Provision current user as a Database Engine system administrator for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True"

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login?

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and Active Directory with a goal to automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login? (NOT an option for me to use BitLocker)
I was asked to deploy EFS to encrypt the user my documents folder and profile on all of the users laptops. The laptops are in common areas (board meeting rooms, etc) and security of files is a must.
I successfully created a recovery certificate in AD. I created an OU and setup an EFS policy and users can now login and select to encrypt their own files. The issue is that management would like to have automaticy Encrypt ALL users my documents AUTOMATICALLY
when a user login.
Can this be done?

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

How can I set the default home page in Firefox 4 for all users that login to a PC on a Win 7 PC?

I work at a community college in upstate NY.
We use Firefox as the default browser at our institution and we have always set the default homepage to be our homepage for all users that login to the PC. We had a procedure to to that that worked with Windows XP and FF 3 or earlier
We would do the following:
1. go to: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles\<profile_name>\prefs.js
2. Add the line: user_pref (“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.genesee.edu”);
3. Copy the Folder
C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
To
C:\Documents & Settings\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla
4. Restart the computer
We're going to Win 7 and Firefox 4 and things seem to be different in terms of files and file structure. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)
This article should help you with developing and deploying your customised Firefox 4 installation (without touching the Windows 7 default user profile):

How to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents autom.

Hi All,
Can anyone pls tell me "**how to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents without having to do it through form setting** "for each and every user. It should be visible but inactive
Thanks & Regards,
Mukesh Agrawal

Hi,
As a work around create a warehouse SelectWH and map the mandatory acoounts as a On hold account(in chart of accounts).So there will not be any posting on this account.
And set this warehouse as default warehouse for all users.
So without selecting the appropriate warehouse the user can not add the document.
I think this might resolve you issue.

Configure "Always hide forms document message bar" and "Do not show edit warnings" for all users?

We need to do a mass deployment of Adobe Reader XI 11.0.3 with "Always hide forms document message bar" preference setting automatically set for every user so they do not have to go through the menu and set it manually.
Is there a way to configure this for all users with the customization wizard or another method?
We also need to do the same for "Do not show edit warnings"
If these are registry keys, which registry keys set these options?

Try http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/DocumentStatus.html?zoom _highlight=message#idkeyname_1_5647.
If that doesn't work and there's a configuration item in the preferences UI, do this:
Get regshot.
Close everything but Acrobat/Reader.
Take a reg shot.
Configure the setting via the UI.
Tak another reg shot.
Compare the two.
That process will give you your answer.
If there is no corresponding pref in the UI, then you probably can't do it.

Credential manager to see credentials stored for all users?

Is there a way to see and manage credentials stored for all users on a server (we use 2008 R2) rather than just the user who logs on and uses credential manager (or the cmdkey command)? We have users using three terminal servers and some of them store
incorrect creds (wrong username or password), so would be good for myself as domain admin, if I could go to the servers myself, and remove any credentials that OTHER users have stored.

Hi
The cached credential are stored in a special location in the registry. (an example there;
http://msitpros.com/?p=1029)
I doubt you can manipulate the string directly as it's encrypted (possibly "salted" with the user token), but maybe their is some workaround that I don't know of. (edited; to erase it's surelly easily doable)
