How can I access full administrator for some printers via Group Policy?

Original title: give users full rights to printers

First of all, I would like to a GPO that will allow all of our users to be able to add, remove, install drivers, etc for all printers on their local computers without being a local administrator.  We have many users who need to manage printers on a daily basis and it becomes more frustrating that the strategies used to provide this access in XP does not seem to be the same in Windows 7.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I change default location VM VMware Workstation via Group Policy or to a Script?

    Hello

    I administer a laboratory of my school networking in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment. We want to enable folder redirection but since VMware Workstation creates new virtual machines by default in the C:\Users\Username\Documents\Virtual Machines, I can't do this, or else the NAS would be overloaded.

    My question is, is there a file registry or config that I could change via a script or a political group? In this way, all students would default their VM install to another location.

    Thanks for your time.

    The default location is %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Virtual Machines and is not set in the registry of Windows or the disk file until the default is changed and is then defined in the file %APPDATA%\VMware\preferences.ini as: prefvmx.defaultVMPath = "FQP.

    What is a "destructive factory restore?

    Most if not all Windows 7 PC's have a hidden partition on the hard drive that allows you to restore the machine as long as the plant. It is "destructive" because it erases all personal data and all the applications that have been loaded by the owner. You should consult the manufacturer's web page for detailed instructions.

  • How can I access an administrator previously encrypted my documents folder?

    My old system of death so I bought a new system.  I put the old master drive in an external USB enclosure so I could access all of my data.  Problem is the My Documents folder, which belonged to an administrator account was encrypted, so I can't access any information on this issue, even if I'm there access as an administrator.  I am running XP Home Edition, Service Pack 3.

    The only way that the documents could have been encrypted using encryption XP native EFS is if 1) the old system worked XP Pro; or (2) if the third-party encryption was used. In this case, you would have had need back up your certificates of encryption on removable media. If you do not, then the data is lost forever.

    However, if you a not actually encrypt your files and everything simply made my private Documents and you get an error "Access denied", all you have to do is take ownership of the files.

  • How can I know full features for my hp photosmart 2410 on windows 7?

    HP PSC 2410 Photosmart all-in-one

    Windows 7 64 bit

    Printer drivers automatically installed and I can print without any problems. But I would like to use all of the features that were available to me when I first came to the printer; I need to scan and fax from my computer, not the printer.  I have the disc for the original installation, but it is not compatible with Windows 7.   HP support tell me how I can still use software.

    Hello

    I'm afraid there is no software of full functionality not provided for Windows7, but only print and Scan feature available for the OS, as you can find listed in the article below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01796879

    You can find the steps how to scan using the software provided by the operating system in the frequently asked questions section, located at the bottom of the article.

  • How can I access the settings for my keypad on my samsung netbook running windows 7 home premium N230?

    I have a wireless mouse to use because when I tap the trackpad is Movin' the cursor whenever I brush on n to become clumsy typing! However, I can't seem to find where and how do I temporarily disable the trackpad so that I don't have this problem?

    Hello

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there
    probably are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with)
    Entries of TouchPad) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area near clock on
    at the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration-Device Manager - mice and pointing devices - Double click on the TouchPad
    -Pilot Tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything as long as MS is far behind)
    drivers of certification), now RIGHT CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself
    (all in it). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
    of work.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we must
    Clear the specific device if present.

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    ==========================================

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

  • How can I access the settings for prtscr?

    My question is more in what regards... Is it possible to access the settings "PRTSCR"?

    PrtScr always seems to be only available in Windows Paint.by using the "Paste" option

    If I try to use it in MS Office (using the paste option), it is not available, neither in Excell or even a single Note. I just use Adobe as an example.

    Somewhere in that I read that Vista has a feature of multiple screenshot (or not), but I can't seem to find anyway to access the program that it's me so I can put it is available in Office or Adobe or any other program that I need to use it seems.

    Hello

    I suggest you to check on the lock (locking function) key on your keyboard. Check top right of your keyboard to the F LOCK key, which can be you can use the print screen key. The CAPS LOCK key activates / deactivates the function keys. A function key is a key that has two possible commands depending on the State of the lock toggle keys.

    To add, I suggest you try the tool cutting in Windows 7. It can help you take the screen shots easily. You can check the functionality of tool cutting using these items:

    Also try the new user account if you are facing problems with Office applications.

  • Cannot access the password for administrator on Win7, how can we access this account?

    There are two accounts on this computer. An administrative and standard user.

    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    I can access the standard user account, but I can't change the administrative password because his account not administrative and I do not know the password on the admin account.
    How can I either change the standard user to admin user without having need of the admin password or how can I access the administrator account?
    The admin account is my main account with everything I need.
    His family win7 premium is a desktop computer.
    I, also, don't have Internet. The only internet I have is on my mobile phone with limited data.
    This is why I can't download anything to help.
    Help or knowledge is much appreciated.
    Thank you
    I can't access the administrative account. I forgot the password for this account.
    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • How can I view the administrator account, which is not even in SafeMode (Windows 7)?

    I was instructed to set up a Windows 7 PC. It has been used before, but I don't know by whom or how it was used. In order to do a bit of setting up I want, I need access to the administrator account. I have an account that is in the group administrator, Admin, but the account itself seems to be hidden or missing. It does not appear when I boot in safe mode. How can I access the administrator?

    I found my own answer. The administrator account is disabled. Enable it, run the policy group, then Configuration Editor Local computer--> Windows settings security settings local policies--> security-> accounts options-->-->:--> Enable Administrator account status.

    After that, I was able to connect to the administrator.
