What should a Windows system administrator know how to do?
Bulk import users, rename, change password of said list, export the list, mail enable, change SMTP address.
I think I recall the post - I'll try to find it, if I can't find it I know Gary posted comments on the page so I'll try to summon him here too.
I came across a very helpful discussion posted by someone who was studying to become a server administrator and he asked about things to practice to be a good admin. There were lots of excellent comments, but I am having trouble finding this feed from like 3 months ago maybe. I want to know what types of tasks can I practice in my home lab to sharpen my skills; i.e. 'be able to write a script to add new users to AD'

Hey Folks...i'm totally ****** off !
^^
I canceled the update from Snowleopard to Lion by cleaning my keys ^^. Hit the wrong key i thing. Now i'm very weird ...only can start in Windows and dont know how to get my Lion Update now...Cant start in Mac OS X (Snowleopard) now
Please tell me what i have to do know
greets
< Edited By Host >Hello fuchs (guess), If you cancelled while downloading the 4GB Lion, no problem, download again. Snow Leopard should run (start holding the option key).
If you cancelled during the install process, I do not know. In this case you could try to start with the CMD + R keys pressed, and choose the restore, which may work if the creation of the restore partition of Lion has finished.
If that does not work, reinstall Snow Leopard with the CD (start holding the C key), after that download the Combo Update 10.6.8 to update the Snow Leopard completely, then redownload Lion (App Store, click "purchases" while holding the Option Key, find Lion, click "install"). If you want to have your own copy of the Lion installer, you have to copy the installer to a Memory stick or burn to DVD before you install, see else where.

I have downloaded ios 5.1.1 and the wifi has stop working or it would stay on for less then 20min its only 9 months old can someone explain what is happening and if some know how to fix it
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Last week I was prompted to do an update on my Mac Book Pro which I did. Ever since I did the update a box keeps popping up asking for login info for my keychains & they won't go away. I have no clue what these keychains are & I don't know how to find them & know the passwords for each of them. Plus now I don't get my email on here either. Please help me...
Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

my log in window shows btoh my user account and the system administrator (root) acount. how do i not show the system accout on the log in window?
I think you need to disable the root user assuming you have it enabled.
Navigate thus;
/Applications/Utilities/Directory Utility
...and then.....

Determine if user is a windows system administrator
Yes, I understand the goal of Swing is WORA, but I have a very specific challenge...and if I can't meet it, this application will be written in .Net rather than Java.
The challenge: The application needs to know whether the current system user is a Windows system admin (i.e, assigned to the Administrators group) and, if not, hide certain functions. I have considered writing a file to a location and checking for an error, but that's not always reliable...depending on system policies. I am wide open for good ideas. :)
Thanks.
-JD>
..The application needs to know whether the current system user is a Windows system admin (i.e, assigned to the Administrators group) and, if not, hide certain functions. >When constructing the GUI..
try {
// certain functions
} catch(Throwable t) {
// hide certain functions
...Or to put that another way, "The application needs to know whether the current run-time environment offers the functionality that relates to the app.". That is a different thing to knowing whether "the current system user is a Windows system admin". -
Fans are loud what should I replace them with and how?
Just like the subject says my fans on my power mac g5 seem to be a bit on the obnoxious loud side. Was this just with the early G5 models? Anyways I wanted to know if it would do me any good to by different fans for it. If so which fans do you recommend? How easy is it to to put onto the computer?
-jimI think pretty much all the fans are custom made for Apple, at least that's what they look like - not at all like the typical PC fans...
Which fans are loud? You could use Hardware Monitor to show how fast they spin - and compare to these numbers of other G5 owners. Which model do you have anyway?
(Check in /Applications/Utilities/System Profiler -> Hardware Overview)
And which graphics card is installed? Cause its fan might be loud (if it has one - the default cards usually don't) - it was in my case (currently Geforce 7800 GT) as well as with my earlier G5 (dual 2.0 GHz, 2003 model, with CTO Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB). The video card fan is replaceable if one has some experience. The rest of the G5's fans are more difficult. If a particular fan is bad, you might be able to get a replacement for it as a service part, from some mac dealer in your vicinity.
It may also help to carefully vacuum the huge heatsink on the G5 processors and air outlets in the back. The G5 must be off of course, and don't touch or even go close to the RAM or Mobo, as the vacuum machine might be electrostatically charged.
Quad G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 4 GB ECC RAM, Raptor 150 GB, Seagate 750 GB, GeForce 7800 GT -
When I synch my ipod touch I get the following message "The Ipod touch cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? this error occurs at the point it is syncing the photos - all other things seem to be syncing fine.

Try trashing your iPod's Photo Cache. See this article for information on where to find your iPod's Photo Cache.

I have run Tech Tool Pro Advanced Tests, repaired the permissions, and restarted the computer multiple times but noting has fix the error. What is causing the error and how do I fix it?Last night I revisited the problem and discovered that I had not emptied the Print Shop Importer from the trash. I emptied the trash, restarted the computer, and the error messages stopped. Also before I restarted the computer I noted that Time Machine had stopped backing up and that Spotlight was indexing the hard drive. I blocked the indexing before I restarted the computer. In any event the original problem seems to be fixed.
