Legacy FileVault Home Directory question

Hi all

I have a clients computer which executes 10.11 but always uses the legacy file Vault. Here is some of the best. The sparsebundle is 480 GB but computer customers is only 600 GB (old Tower of Mac Intel). For obvious reasons the client wants the file disappeared, but since this is the encrypted version of the base directory I cannot remove it (tried and have reconstitute with TM). I can't turn it off because it requires a lot of space to turn off filevault.

Any suggestions? I'm at a point where I just want to reformat, but I hesitate because I would have to restore with Time Machine and just to bring back the old file not to mention disk encryption that already scares me.

If it's in the wrong place please let me know and I can move it to the right place.

The Mac can install, start, and run from any drive, internal or external. If the drive you have is not big enough to decipher, attach a larger, hover over the image for her and he decipher it.

When the discs cost 1000 USD for 1 megabyte, which slowed down you. But with the price of the reader of today, you can get a large external drive for Pocket money.

  • Is there a way to activate a user of office/home directory without logging?

    I have a Powershell script that I wrote that built a PC in Windows 7 - Add accounts to different users, adding our applications, addition of SSH, and al and I am almost finished, but running in only one small hitch.  One of the last things I need to do is copy on different workstations for each of our users added.  I thought it would be a simple copy command of all the elements necessary for each user, but I get an error that "\Users\username\Desktop does not exist."  I think it is because individual home directory each user is not created until the first time that they connect.  Is there a way to have Windows 7 activate/create each user's desktop without having to log off as administrator and under and each individual user account?  What is it that creates "Preparing your desktop" the first time that you log on as a user?  \Users\Public?  \USERS\DEFAULT?  Is it possible for me to get around the connection and have the directories created via a command at the command line or a Reg Key (or if anyone knows a way in Powershell)?

  • Oracle DB 11 g Express Edition find home directory path in Windows 7

    Hello

    I work through a book of PL/SQL programming and am on PROGRAM UNIT DEPENDENCIES. As I work through the examples he asks me to use the dependency tree utility run this script in SQL * more: @ < path to the Oracle Home Directory > \rdbms\utldtree

    However, no matter where I look on my computer (Win7 Home) I can not understand the directory path. I looked away and it has been suggested that Windows stores the directory in the registry. I went to regedit and followed Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Oracle...and found 'c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\l11.2.0\server '.
    I also tried the path of the directory, but not luck. Again, I can not even find shirts for the DB that contains "RDBMS.

    So my question is, is there a HOME directory or BASE path in windows 7 for Oracle database 11g Express Edition and or the 11g Express Edition have the utldtree.sql file somewhere?

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Warren

    I have a lot of utl*.sql files, which you named, in C:\oracle\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\rdbms\admin.

    You should also be able to reach the location when you run in sqlplus, via '? "shortcut, for example

    SQL > @? / rdbms/admin/utldtree

    It is also a way to print high dir of the Oracle home page in sqlplus - example of path within the brackets below:

    SQL > @. [% oracle_home %].
    SP2-0310: could not open the file "." [C:\oracle\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server]... SQL ".

  • How to set a home directory outside of C:\Users to a user in Win7?

    I want to put the outside C:\Users user home directory. Currently, the directory will be on the system drive, but ultimately I want to move it to another drive.

    Here are the steps I took:
    * Created the net per-user someuser / add
    * Created the base directory will, c:\someuser
    * Assigned the appropriate permissions and ownership to the base directory (based on what I've seen of other home directories, so full control to SYSTEM, administrators and the someuser and owned by someuser)

    But when I connect with this user, all files and folders are always created in C:\Users\someuser.

    I tried this on Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate, 64-bit computers. The command net user does not complain, and a 'net user someuser' indicates that the base directory is correct (i.e. c:\someuser).

    Any thoughts?

    Here you go:

    1. Create a System Restore Point.
    2. Logging in as an administrator account.
    3. Delete the C:\SomeUser folder.
    4. Move the file c:\Users\SomeUser to make it c:\SomeUser.
    5. Open the registry editor.
    6. Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
    7. Search for "ProfileImagePath" until you find the one that points to c:\Users\SomeUser.
    8. Change it so that it points to c:\SomeUser.
    9. Use the system restore in case things go wrong.

  • Home Directory DB to RAM disk

    Hello

    I use 5.2 Patch 6 and one of my person SAM has send me suggestions of AM Tune, and a point that he must change the value of 'nsslapd-db-home-directory' to point to the temp directory.

    I'm really confused and a little hesitant to put everything to the tmp directory. I understand that this will improve performance, but once again all put in the temp directory.

    Could someone provide my all know about this?

    -John

    Hi John,.
    You have nothing to do, the DS server will try to rebuild its cache in itself, but performance may be sub-optimal, until the cache gets properly completed/completed (due to the initial file system access), but once most of the Hare that happens in the cache, you should have significant performance boost.

    Or alternatively before putting into production the directory server, you might 'first' the cache to have a "hot-start". There are 2 approaches that you may have in this case:

    1) after that the directory server has been / gracefully closed / and front/reboot /, you could save/copy the contents of this cache (files __db.*) on a disk and restore it to the location once restarted.
    (2) to implement a job/script "priming" (specific research, or with the help of SLAMD) to begin this cache once the server has been rebooted and just before putting it into production.

    The first is easy to achieve using the script, but is not guarantee cover the case of a sudden stop of the server (for example: loss, accident, hanging, etc.). The latter is less trivial and may require a LDAP, sizing of the cache traffic analysis work, etc...

  • Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

    I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

    -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

    -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

    -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

    -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

    -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

    This raises several questions:

    -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

    -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

    -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

    -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

    -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

    Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

    With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

    My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

    If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

    All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

    ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

    I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

  • New to ARC - DC directory Question?

    Hi all

    My apologies for the fundamental question, I am new to the CRA. I am running CRA(3-5) on another server and I know now that I should communicate with DC directory. Obviously directory DC runs on my CallManager (separate), but not on the server of the current ARC.

    The PDF 'getting started with Cisco.

    Customer response applications

    Cisco IPCC Express, Cisco IP IVR and Cisco QM, Version 3.5 "says I need turn on the DC directory (I guess on the server of the ARC), but it is not installed.

    I'm kinda stuck and simple elbow shots would be appreciated?

    When you configure step 1 "installation directory", you select Directory DC and then configure the hostname of your Callmanager Publisher. Your IPCCX Server uses the DC on the Callmanager directory, so you will not install DC directory on your server IPCCX. It is quite easy to install.

  • Any way to move the home directory of the user to a different partition?

    I have a dual boot Linux/Windows 7.  I managed to create a virtual Windows 7 machine running Linux that allows access to the physical partition of Windows 7 as the C: drive, but starts from its own virtual D: drive.  Also, I moved the users folder in the virtual machine on the C: drive.  In this way, regardless of if I started in the virtual machine, or natively in Windows 7, I can connect and my user files will be exactly the same.  (I still have to install applications twice, but it's OK for my purposes).

    My question is, I want to have a local administrator account in the virtual machine that has its directory on the virtual disk, in this case I have, somehow royally mess up my C: partition physical, so I can at least log in with administrator privileges and copy all critical files, for example.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  (I used to have a game similar to this one, except my local user does not have administrator privileges, but I do not remember how I set up to the top.)  Unfortunately, critical files on my partition C: physical got somehow deleted, and there was very little I could do because my administrator account was on this score, that's why I'm going to put all of this again.)

  • EP 7: "Home directory" to find the files?

    I'm trying to recover a Photoshop Elements 7 catalog that regenerates itself thumbtails on the old machine (so it crashes). I tried to delete the cache, but the system blocks the first two times, regenerating the thumbnails and finally seems to "hang up" 50% of the CPU (sits for hours, pretending to do nothing).  The log file is without help.

    On my new machine, there is no blocking, but PSE 7, it is VERY slow to re - locate files, since everything is now at a different location.

    Question: is there a way to set the directory 'base' for where the elements starts his search for files, when the location referenced in the catalogue has been changed?  Is there another way to update the catalog, when the physical location of the files has changed?

    I wanted to save the old machine and to restore to the new via a USB drive external, but because the old machine "hangs" on the thumbnails, I can't.  At this point, I think re-cataloging my thousands of pictures...

    This isn't how PSE works.

    PSE knows pictures only if you import pictures in EPS. Then PSE knows which folder the photo files are, and they have to stay in that directory, unless you use PES to move.

    So, if the photos are in different directories on the new computer, you must reconnect the photos to the Organizer in PSE. Here are the details on how to do it: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Quickly_reconnecting_la GBR

  • LDAP (Active Directory) questioning 'current user '.

    I went through a lot of things on it, but I would appreciate a response summary of this (probably...) FAQ:

    Using CF (latest and greatest) on a (I presume) IIS server, I want to be able to automatically detect the Windows identity of "the currently logged in Windows user" and through queries LDAP (Active Directory), determine its attributes and the membership authentication purposes.  The user would not be questioned to get into any sort of username or password on his.  (This is strictly an intranet application and always will be).

    In the Apache mod_ldapserver environment, I know that reliable information about the currently logged-in user can come from environment variables to make the following LDAP queries.  But I'm a little fuzzy on what I might expect/use in this situation.

    Pointers?  Hyperlinks?  Advice?

    With Windows IIS on a Windows Server in a Windows domain to a Windows client using a Windows browser it can be done easily.

    If "Windows integrated security" is selected in the IIS administrator and "Logon Anymous" is NOT checked, then the variable cgi.auth_user will be poplulate by the web server with the domain/user name of the user logged on to the client computer.

    It's pretty simple to access this cgi.auth_user value and use it in a tag to read the record of the current directory for more information about this user.
