Using Smartviewer in Domain using Windows 7 client

Using a standard user account, how would I set it to open a specific program (SmartViewer) which requires a domain admin username and password to open
on launch. I cant give the account admin rights nor can I turn off UAC for it either. Is there anyway of getting it so this program opens without the admin prompt?
Thanks in advance.

Hi M4tthew1994,
There is a work around using "runas " to create a shortcut may be useful ,but we need to input the password for the first time to open the shortcut and it will save the administrator acccounts in the local machine and it may result-in security
issue .Please be careful to do this .

Dot1x using Windows as Client

We are starting to implement dot1x in our network and there are a few changes we have to make on the PC's. I am wondering if there is a way to make the client changes without touching every PC in the network such as SMS etc. Is there a reg hack? We use Script Logic/Desktop Authority in our network. Thanks.

We dealt with this same issue last year. One of our sysadmin's wrote a .vbs script for WINXP clients. It sets the EAPOL registry keys for the Windows Wireless Zero Configuration Service and configures the Broadcom NIC for 802.1x authentication. We pushed it out to all our (thousands) of clients prior to locking down switchports via SMS. I'm uploading the script for anyone's interest, examination, or use. Caveats: As this is a home-grown product we are providing it without guarantee, support, or maintenance in the interest of sharing general information.

Windows 7 clients cant update software without admin permissions.

Hello,
We are using Windows 7 clients in a Win2008R2 Domain. We are also using a few specific software packages that everytime they are run, they check for updates. Unfortunatly, the updates fail unless you enter an admin user. I have tried to
make the user a local admin and this still doesnt work. I just want to let all users install or update software as needed. I there a way to accomplish this? Is there a way to give all users the ability to install updates without being local
admin.
Thanks for your assistance.

Hi,
Check if you enable the following policy in your domain environment:
1.In Group Policy Object Editor, expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click Windows Update.
2.In the details pane, click Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications, and set the option.
3.Click OK.

Deploying Unattended Windows 7 clients using server 2008r2

Hi,
First time posting in here. I'm a bit stuck on a project that I'm currently working on and was hoping someone here with some more WDS experience might be able to spot something I'm missing. I'm currently using server 2008r2 to facilitate an unattended deployment
of some client Windows 7 desktops. The annoying part is that the site I'm deploying to is a support office with no IT staff there - just me doing this remotely.
I've managed to get the networking and DHCP (on a separate linux system) running great. The computers are picking up the boot file and installing windows fine (drivers, partitioning, etc). Client_unattend.xml is installing the software as commanded. Where
I'm hitting my snag is that the computer is then trying to boot to the local admin account instead of joining the domain. This confused me because I used the exact same (barring a few minor tweaks for time zone and languages) image_unattend.xml file in my
test setup at my main office and it worked fine. Below is the XML file in use. Is there something here that jumps out at anyone? Any hints would be very very welcomed, and thanks to anyone who can have a look.
P.s. My next step is to talk the staff through getting the /panther/setup log files off the computers C: drive.

To add to this, the errors I am receiving indicate an FQDN or DNS error but I've played with this file to address these with no change. I can however manually join this computer once it has finished installing.
I thought that maybe there are driver issues but I assigned the driver packages to the install image in WDS...
Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
The End!

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

Is the notifier part of the email program? Is it an independent program like poptray? If it is separate from Firefox, it really shouldn't matter which browser you are using. Unless the notification is within IE.

How to scroll up and down in IBM client access using windows 7 on mac running bootcamp

How to scrool up and down in Client Access 5250 (AS/400 emulator) using windows 7 on Mac running boot camp. The key board does not function within the client access 5250 session?

You can also share a printer between the Mac/PC as well as files and mounted Volumes, see the Tiger articles here
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/
You may want to use Bonjour for Windows on your PC
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/
Then there are VNC clients for Mac/PC that also allow you to actually control the other machine, if they aren't in the same room and you just need to check something quick that can be handy, it's kind of slow though for regular use.
The main benefit of partitioning is being able to have different versions of bootable OS on them. You can try out Leopard on a new partition, while keeping your Tiger partition intact, you can have a XP/Vista partition for parallels or BootCamp, etc... other than that drives are pretty much fast enough, having smaller partitions probably won't realize any significant speed ups over searching the whole large drive.

Using Windows 8.1 With Older Domain Controllers

Is there any document that would specify types of incompatibility we might expect when using Windows 8.1 with older domain controllers, either Windows 2000 or Windows 2003?
I assume at minimum that these older domain controllers would not have group policies that are able to support the full security policy feature set of Windows 8.1? For such cases, how do we configure security policy on those 8.1 domain member
computers? Would we use LocalGPO.wsf to import a local security policy, then join the computer to the domain to override just the settings that are supported by the domain controller and windows 8.1 in common?

Font smoothing settings doesn't consistently work for every login on Windows 2008 R2 when using a RDP client

I'm trying to use the MSTSC client on a Windows 8.1 machine to connect to a Windows 2008 R2 server. In the MSTSC experience tab I checked the font smoothing option. Font smoothing works some times and doesn't work the other times. I don't see a pattern here.
any kind of help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have Server 2008 R2, there is GPO setting available to specify whether font smoothing is allowed for remote connections.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
Do not allow font smoothing
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, font smoothing is allowed for remote connections.
You can configure font smoothing on the Experience tab in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) or by using the {allow font smoothing:i:1} setting in a Remote Desktop Protocol (.rdp) file.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Want to use only DAC client on Windows machine

Hi,
I want to use only DAC client from my windows machine. I have all other components on UNIX machine. Now my question is,
1.
Do we need to install all OBIEE components & then Oracle BI Apps on windows machine to use DAC client? Or just copying DAC folder from some different windows machine onto my machine will be fine to use DAC client?
2. If it is must to install OBIEE for installaing Oracle BI Apps(As DAC is part of BI Apps), What are the minimum components of OBIEE that i need to install?
Thanks,
Prasad

The supported way to do this is to install everything on Windows. However as you have see by installing the software on UNIX the file copy approach works. You can try it just make sure you have the proper path of folders. Since you will not actually have BI EE installed you still have to create an "OracleBI" folder because some DAC files look to that folder hierarchy. Also make sure you have the Java in path with no spaces.
Let us know how it works out.

Domain joined Windows 8.1 using OneDrive to sync passwords across devices

Background : Domain joined Windows 8.1 devices using OneDrive to sync settings across devices, including "Passwords" under Other Settings. Domain user accounts are NOT local administrators.
Issue : When one drive goes to sync Wireless network security settings (passphrases etc...), a User Account Control (UAC) dialogue pops up from "Program Name : Networks" to enter administrator credentials. Domain users do not have administrator access
to local computers by strict policy.
The only way identified so far to stop the dialogue pop-up is to disable the password sync by group policy. However, that turns off ALL password syncing, including passwords desired to be sync'd, that do not encounter this issue.
Can the UAC be suppressed? Is there a way to NOT sync the wireless password settings?
Welcome any thoughts, direction, assistance, etc... :) Thanks much and have a good day!

Hi,
I searched around but haven't find one way to achieve this, thus I'm afraid that we're unable to prevent the specific network password setting. the syncing settings for all passwords are combined together.
To suppress UAC, we can turn off the UAC under control panel\User Account or via GP Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ,but we don't recommend this.

Hi MindaugasKa,
Base on your description, your case must is the NPS client can’t pass the NPS policy.
The NPS client can’t connect the network may have many reason, such as the Network Access Protection Agent service not started successful, the certificate not issued properly,

I recently used an external hard drive to back up photos etc from my mac, I didn't do a full system back up. Since then a finder window titled 'client node' keeps popping up every time i hit the spacebar. Can anyone help me please stop this happening?

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.
