I tried to create a USER with administrator rights, as suggested by XP, but now I don't see the icon administrator when connecting?

My new user does not have the original administrator logon icon the same settings, computer desktop or programs I should use and before setting up the new user.  How can I copy, convert or restore settings (find) the Director, programs, files, documents, office, Internet settings and Favorites, etc. to the new USER?

Since owning my laptop I had connected using the Administrator icon and had an icon of comments, as well, until last Thursday.  I tried to follow the advice of XP and create USERS, so the administrator access would not be compromised.  Children were downloading apps and devours space... I was afraid they would accidentally remove a program or file, or worse... Then...

When I set up my USER he asked me if I would be the Admiistrator. I said yes.  But, when iI rebooted my laptop, only the icon of the USER (S) presented at the connection... the Administrator icon was missing. and my new USER reflects only a few shortcuts shared on the desktop...

I expect Admin rights and my old administrator settings.  I need to recover them because all my documents and especially my work programs do not exist.

Help, please!  It would be greatly appreciated EV.  I would like to restore to last Wednesday, if the system would, but it seems that it will not.

Sincerely,

KC

What you experienced is normal.  When you create another user, the original administrator account becomes hidden.  It's still there (in fact, it cannot be deleted), it just doesn't appear in the login screen.

You should still be able to login as administrator.  When you get to the login screen, just tap Ctrl-Alt-Del twice.  This will bring up a login dialog window.  Just enter 'Administrator' in the user name and the password (if any) in the password line and press 'return '.  If you want or need to copy your files and data from the administrator account to the new account that you created, and then follow the steps in the following procedure and claim that your administrator profile is corrupted or damaged.

  • Cannot see the whole picture when you move into a smaller template with the direct Selection tool

    Hello!

    I recently got my laptop cleaned in preparation for examinations and such (I'm in high school). As I belong to art class, when Basic programs have been re-installed we also got the Adobe programs, but we got the CC 2015 version instead of the version CS5, we had earlier.

  • How to create a user local administrator with the user root on the CV

    As says the tile, how to create a user local administrator with the user root on VCS-Express. I lost the password and cannot log in as an admin user, but I can't seem to log as long as user root.

    Once connect you with the root account, type in "tsh", from there, you can create the accounts of local administrators with 'xCommand AdminAccountAdd.  See the reference section of command of the VCS Administrator's Guide, starting on pg 517.

    If your VCS is a virtual machine, you can change the password of admin with vSphere, or if it is a hardware appliance, you can use the serial port, see pg 312 of the Administrator's guide.

  • 5.1.7 server on El Capitan: create a user with a personalized folder location

    I've recently upgraded to El Capitan on my server once an apple advisor told me that 5.1.7 server had a bunch of bug fixes for Open Directory(which I plan on using down the road). Given that the Working Group Manager is not compatible with 10.11...

    Is there a way to create a user with a personalized folder location? When I create a user on the server, I can choose to create a home folder, with or without limitation in the disc or make the service of the user only. My problem is that I have no way (that I know) in the window of creating user to change the location of this folder.

    I tried to create a model of a user with a basic 'tailor-made' folder location (Volume/promised Pegasus/Home 2016 / etc...) but when I create the user, the home folder is not in the specified path.

    The "work around" I found for this batch of user is to create in the default location then move them on my raid Promise Pegasus, change the path to the advanced option to the each user and reassign the appropriate permissions.

    It is not so much a problem if I would deal with users 10. But I have to manage/create about 130-150 users every 5-6 months.

    I guess that there is an easier way to create a user with a custom home folder location. It would make sense that apple removes the Workgroup Manager and does not replace its characteristics.

    Best case scenario is that I do evil and do not hesitate to let me know if this is the case!

    Thank you

    Francis

    I may be wrong, but it seems that Workgroup Manager version 10.8 works under El Capitan: I can certainly start the application and query users / groups that are there.  I guess maybe it's on the machine as a rest to be updated periodically since days Lion... but it also shows that if you can find a copy, you may be able to run on your machine.

  • Cannot delete the account of a user with administrator rights

    I want to remove a user who has administrator rights account.  Win XP machine has two users (Administrator and a user name) that both are of type of administrator account.

    I you as an administrator and should be able to change the other named to Limited user account, but for Limited is greyed out.  The option to delete the named account is not present.

    How can I delete this account, leaving only administrator?

    Often, I find that using the command line commands gives errors better when you can not do something.  Try the following:

    o bring a window prompt (start-> Run-> "cmd")

    o enter the following command in the window:

    net localgroup administrators

    o that it must return a list of all users with administrator privileges.  You should see the built-in user 'Administrator' and your other user (assuming that both have administrator privileges).  To remove administrator privileges from the user (assuming that this another username is "Joe"), then enter the following command:

    net localgroup administrators Joe/remove

    If this is not possible, an error no doubt will provide you with enough information.

    Let me soce entry details:

    1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
    It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
    2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
    3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
    That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

    This is wat I already checked:

    -Terminal services are started

    -J' tried connecting to Windows 7 and Windows XP, nothing works

    -Ping the ip address of the client PC works fine

    If you have any other ideas, I would be very gratefull!

    Thanks to advandce

    You will probably need to open port 3389 on your router so that it maps on the computer that is tuned to the connections of the DRC. It seems that you did all the other steps, but your router can prevent the connection to go anywhere. Here's a detailed guide to configure your router for DRC that can provide some guidance.
