Why aren't Groups settings being applied correctly?

I've been testing the Profile Manager's settings for Groups and it doesn't seem to be getting applied correctly.
I have an image and computer I'm testing that has a local admin account. This is the same local admin account on all of our company's macbooks.
On the server, I have a Test Group and a Test user. The Test user is a network account and is the one and only member of the Test Group. In Profile Manager, for the Test Group, the only setting I have set up is for Restrictions. I set it up to restrict access to Sharing, Profiles, and Security & Privacy to the members of the Test Group only.
What happens is, when these settings are applied to a computer, it restricts access to those System Preferences to the local admin account as well. Why is this happening? Obviously, the local admin account is not a network user, nor is it in the Test Group. I cannot figure this out or understand what's going on.
The only other bit of information that may or may not help is I am running 10.8.1 Server and the client is running 10.7.4.
I don't have other specifics right now, but this isn't the only weirdness when testing settings for other Profiles with regards to the settings not being applied as expected.
Thanks in advance.

When you add new contact you are adding the contact to your default contacts account. Your default contact account is set in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > Default Account. If this account is checked in the Contacts app Groups view, you will see the new contacts in the Contacts app. Otherwise not.
I suspect your problem is that your default contact account is not set to the account you think it is.

Issues with Server 2008 R2 GPO Settings Being Applied To Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7

We are working on a new domain and I'm trying to figure out how to populate the default Home page, Trusted Sites and the Proxy now that Microsoft has removed the IEM from the GPO's.
I have created a standalone policy that only has these items set in the User Configuration Preferences and the settings are not updating for my test user account on the test system. I see the policy is being applied without any errors. The only
other GPO that is being applied to this system is the Default Domain Policy and it is at the default settings.
Why would Microsoft take away such a basic and fundamental administrative function? I'm trying to figure this out before all support ends for the older versions of IE in January, 2016. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get this configured
so I don't have to touch every system.

Hi Karen and thanks for the reply. I'm having to use my personal Microsoft account as I was unable to reconnect to this one. The only settings in this group policy that is set are the 3 fields (Home page, Security level for Trusted Sites and
Proxy script under the LAN Settings) under the User Configuration Preferences. There is nothing configured under the Computer Configuration section.
I have my test computer and user in a Test OU with this policy linked to it. The only policy being applied to this system through inheritance, is the Default Domain Policy (all default settings). Attached is the link to the gpreport.html that
you requested.
I am very aware of making sure there are no other settings in the same as well as other policies that can overwrite the desired settings. This is why I have created a policy with only these few settings as a test to ensure that they work. I'd
be grateful if you would review the result file below and could come up with some suggestions that I could try. Thanks a bunch.

If you're using Group Policy Preferences (GPP), a common mistake for those new to using GPP, is to misunderstand the F5/F6/F7/F8 configuration step (particularly for the Internet Explorer settings):

Managed Printer pref's in WM not being applied correctly.

I'm having real troubles trying to manage printers on our network using Workgroup Manager.
What I'd like to do is to be able to manage all users and computers list of available printers, so we can manage print volumes better and reduce problems with people not having access to the correct printer.
I know this is achievable using Workgroup Manager, and I believe I've set it all up correctly, however, it's simply not working.
Here's what I've done:
Added necessary printers to the Server using Sys Prefs on server. (Checked the printers by sending test prints from server)
Started Print Service on server using Server Admin, and setup queue's for each printer using IPP.
Made changes to User Preferences in Workgroup Manager to 'Always' manage Printing Prefernces, and added the relevant printers from the available list into the Printer List for each user/group.
I've duplicated these settings for the Computers aswell, to double check.
I've checked on user's logged into machines, and from System Profiler have confirmed that the relevant Managed Settings have been picked up by the client,
BUT...
When user's try to print, the managed printers I allocate them in WM, DO NOT appear in the list of available printers within any application, and in Sys Prefs / Print & Fax NO printers are displayed.
If I manually go in and manage Printers, I can add the printers which are shared by the Server and they work OK, but the whole point is that I want to manage the settings from WM, across large groups etc.
All other settings managed by WM (user dock settings, home folder mounts etc.) DO appear to be working, just not the Printing ones.
Please help!

Hi,
Well, that makes sense, and I've followed your instructions aswell as possible, but infortunately, I can't find a PPD file for one of the main printers - the HP2600n. Even the PPD for the HP3600 didnt work (although I am using HP3600dn's)
This just seems ridiculous - both printers are new, and not exactly obscure, and yet one of the most fundamental reasons for using a server - sharing service such as printing, simply causes more trouble than it's worth.
I can't beleive Server 10.5 can't accomplish this relatively simple task without this much ******* around required.
Also - if I manage a large number of groups/users print preferences, I would have to manually edit the com.apple.mcxprinting.plist for EVERY user/group - it would almost be easier to just go around the client machines manually installing the printers!
Rubbish Apple - sort this out please!

Some SCCM2007 Power Management settings being applied.

Hi Currently we are still using SCCM 2207 for our Windows 7 rollout. Our environment is reasonably large (in NZ terms) and varied.
Initially there will be 2 power schemes which will be applied by sccm, both have to be customized for the need of the hospital. In tests the power settings are coming down but several of the settings are missing i.e. the length the display stays active,
in tests I have set it to 5mins but the setting stays as never. I know the sccm settings are coming down as I have put "configmgr" next to the customized title which shows on the PC. I have removed all domain policies that have power-management settings.
The "never" option was what was applied to the pc via domain group policy originally but has been removed a couple of days ago.
Thanks
Paul

hey brassie,
i would suggest uninstalling the power management software and then go to http://support.lenovo.com and download the latest version and install it.

Why aren't new contacts being added from incoming texts and/or recent calls loading in main Contacts?

Everytime I get a text and I click the "Info" button and then "add new contact"... There name appears at the top of the screen and in the caller id/text message screen, however when I go to contacts the new addition isn't loading up.
Then when I went to Groups and to "Show ALL Contacts" I can see the new additions. However I also see EVER SINGLE email address listed seperately from my Yahoo account. I am so confused. Is there a way to get the new contacts added to display in my contacts list, without it also displaing my Yahoo email contacts?!??!

When you add new contact you are adding the contact to your default contacts account. Your default contact account is set in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > Default Account. If this account is checked in the Contacts app Groups view, you will see the new contacts in the Contacts app. Otherwise not.
I suspect your problem is that your default contact account is not set to the account you think it is.

Why aren't my settings retained after restarting Firefox?

I customize the toolbar and remove the FEEDBACK button. But every time I restart Firefox, the FEEDBACK button comes up. How do I get rid of it?
I also "USE CUSTOM SETTING FOR HISTORY" but every time I restart Firefox 4, it goes back to default "Firefox will remember history".
This is annoying because having blocked cookies, and other things from specific sites - the settings go back to default and undesired effects pop up (like cookies from the blocked sites).

You can disable or uninstall the Feedback (Test Pilot) extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) if you do not want to use that feature.

Why Aren't Your Settings Working?

I'm using Custom Settings, from Options, under Tools.
Note: My Mozilla Homepage is a website accessible with a password, which the site offers to save. I've selected the option for this site to REMEMBER my computer and password.
In Mozilla, I checked boxes for: "REMEMBER browsing and download history;" and "REMEMBER search and form history." I've authorized Mozilla to "accept cookies from SITES I visit," which, obviously includes my homepage in Mozilla. Despite these setting, Mozilla seems to be ignoring my commands... I am prompted to reenter my password at my homepage each time I start Mozilla. Mozilla remembers nothing. Is this because Mozilla is trying to get me to change my settings?

There are two ways to get logged in.
One is for the site to set a persistent cookie. When you load your home page, Firefox will send all cookies previously set by the site (which have not expired or been deleted) so that the site knows who you are and can continue your session where you left off. Assuming you have Firefox set to keep cookies "Until they expire", you are not logging out of the site, and the site doesn't time out sessions on its own, then that should work.
The second is that you can save your login in Firefox's password manager. This should log you in automatically if the site presents its login page, but if you set a Master Password on your Firefox logins, which is a good idea, when you would get a pop-up box to enter your Master Password. I don't think that is what you are describing in this case.
So let's assume your home page cookie is getting cleared while you exit Firefox or after you exit Firefox. Some possible ways that could happen:
* Site limited to session cookies (while on the site, click the padlock or globe in the address bar, click More Information, click Permissions, then under Set Cookies make sure it is "Allow" and not "Allow for Session")
* Using the feature to clear history when Firefox closes (in Tools>Options>Privacy>"Settings...") there is a list of categories of what gets cleared if you are using this to clear some data and not others)
* Using an extension that cleans out cookies (you probably can create exceptions for specific sites)
* Using external utility or privacy software that cleans cookies when Firefox shuts down or when you start up Windows (sometimes you can create exceptions for specific sites)

Why aren't my emails being automatically deleted from my ipad when I delete them from my iPhone

Is there a setting that I have to program on my mini ipad so when I delete an email on my iPhone it automatically deletes it from my mini ipad?

If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox.

Why aren't my adobe webfonts showing correctly in Chrome version 37?

Why aren't some thumbnails being generated?

Any idea what may be causing this?
Screen shot here:
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9484/picture3mih.png

This happened once in my long experience with Aperture - support was no help. I ended up doing a hail-mary and deleted all of the thumbnails for the projects in question from the Aperture library package and then Aperture would regenerate them.
If you try this make a good backup first or try it on a copy.

Why aren't my % directives being executed ?

I have a Java page Dropdown.jsp which is expecting a parameter passed to it. The JSP has some <% scriplet directives to determine the value of the parameter and to determine the value of a field. However, the <% directives do not seem to be parsed. In my example below I end up getting 2 input fields instead of one - one with "GOT VALUE" and the other with "NO VALUE".
My JSP is as follows :-
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.util.*, java.text.*" %>
<title>Drop Down List 1</title>
<script language="javascript">
function requestList()
alert("In requestList");
     document.dropdown.submit();
</script>
</head>
      <body onLoad="requestList()">
<form name="dropdown" method="POST"
action="http://localhost:8080/GlobusBrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet">
<%
String Args = "";
if (request.getParameter("xxx") != null)
%>
    <input name="routineArgs" value="GOT VALUE">
<%
else
%>
   <input name="routineArgs" value="NO VALUE">
<%
%>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>Sarah.

I think your scriptlet is working, because it seems that there is no error in your page, But onLoad your function alerts you and then immediatly performs the submit operation. So you can see that whether ths input fields are populated or not. You should try your code without
document.dropdown.submit();
Hope it helps

Why are presets being applied to my photos?

When I used to import my photos into LR5, I could click develop and go through and make any changes I wanted to enhance the photo. Now any photo that comes in seems to have all the features of developing already chosen and it is really messing up my photos. How do I get all those presets off so I can edit/develop my own photos??
Per suggestions from other posts, I have already reset to Adobe developer defaults, deleted my saved preferences, and confirmed that there are no "develop settings" being applied during import. I can still manually apply the "reset" button to every picture, but these used to import automatically set to the default settings (all 0s).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

W7 Group Policies not applying

We are planning on deploying Windows 7 Pro in our offices this coming year and I have been in the process of building my Windows 7 group policies from scratch by using the XP policies as a template. I have 3 policies that I create the standard lockdown, administrative mode, and IT. As I'm building the policies and the have the Group Policy editor open, whatever changes that I make do apply on my local machine, but after I save and upload the policies and apply them to machines the policy status in the Zen Notify Icon says that they have applied, but in function no policies have applied. I'm getting ready to start adding my Allow These Executables list but don't want to waste the time if the desktop look and feel and general access features aren't being applied correctly to the machines. Is there anything that I can check to see why this isn't working correctly?

I am making the policies from scratch on a Win7 Pro machine. When I use the GP Editor from ZCM to create and reopen the policies all of my policy details are applying correctly to my local machine which I am working on the policy with. When I apply them to Win7 systems the policy status under the ZCM desktop icon shows that they were applied successfully, but when trying do do anything prohibited by policy or checking the gpedit.msc everything says Not Configured. This is only happening to "Windows Group Policy" objects, DLU and Remote Control are working correctly.

Managed proxy settings not being applied

I am currently having an issue with a certain managed preferences set in Workgroup manager.
Essentially, all machine preferences are applied by the clients (energy saver and such), except for network proxy settings and bypass domains.
Preferences are set on machine groups which my clients are members of, but the same happens if I set the same managed preferences on user accounts, also.
In each test I have done, an 'mcxquery' shows that the client has received the preferences, along with all the other settings I've applied and each time all of the preferences have applied except for the network proxy! Both the clients and the server have been re-installed from scratch, but the problem still persists.
Has anyone ever encountered anything similar? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might get this working again?

Hi all,
I'm having exactly the same issue : most of the managed preferences being applied except proxy
I've checked with mcxquery : proxy settings are broadcasted, and I find the correct settings in the file /Library/Managed Preferences for the user, but when I check in Preferences/Network/Proxy, nothing appears ...
Any idea ?
Thanks,
PhC.
