• How to prevent any user to install the software?

  Hello

  In our environment, we have the field. We are in the domain user.

• How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7

  Hello

  I need to prevent users to install (and download) of new programs in Windows 7. I am responsible for three computers. They are not on one network (other than the internet, of course).

  I read the article "How to prevent users from installing new programs in Windows 7" but I'm not sure what choice to make when I get to the choice of Windows Installer. I'm also not quite know how to cancel that so I can install the software when I have to. I've never done this if I want to be very careful.

  Can anyone help?

  Many thanks,

  KK

  Are their accounts 'Administrator' or 'Standard' user level?

  If they are directors of the machine, and then create a new Admin account (only you know the password) and then lower their Standard user accounts. If they attempt to install programs now it should be prompted to enter the Admin password that they won't.

  User accounts - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2663817

  Also see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/299-user-account-control-uac-change-notification-settings.html for info UAC - and adjust the required level.

  If their accounts are accounts administrator and for some reason must be a competent user, then will probably be able to undo everything you put up anyway.

  PS - what specific article?

• After installing Firefox 6 it disables java 6.0.26 and says 'not compatible '. ». The latest version of java ov is 1.6.0.26 which is what most users use. What is the solution?

  This morning I installed Firefox 6 and he says that is not compatible with the Java Console 6.0.26 and deactivated. I use Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Is this normal?

  The add-on "Java Console" is necessary only if you are a programmer writes Java code that runs in Firefox. Otherwise, this add-on is not useful. Turn it off will not affect web pages that use Java.

• Prevent the user account to change the time? Policy and security?

  I came across this site:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/113557-date-time-allow-prevent-users-groups-changing.html

  I followed him.

  So, I logged in using the account that I am limited. It worked like a charm. I can't change the date and time. But problem, using the limited account, I can also access the "secpol.msc" and change the settings. If the person that I have limited knows how to make their account able to change the date and time using the secpol.msc, so it would be useless.

  What can I do to prevent some users from accessing the "secpol.msc"?

  Hi Erebore,

  Please follow the steps below and check to prevent certain users to access secpol.msc

  1. To open the local security policy MMC snap-in, click Start, type secpol.mscand press ENTER.

  2. In the console tree, double-click Application control policies, and then double-click AppLocker.

  3. Right-click executable rulesand then click create default rules.

  4. Three rules are created and listed in the Details pane of the MMC console:
  • To allow all users to run files in the default Program Files folder.
  • To allow all users to run files in the Windows folder.
  • Allow members of the built-in Administrators group to run all the files.

  When you create these three rules, you automatically prevent all administrator users to run programs that are installed in their user profile folder.

  I hope this helps. Back to us for any additional information on the question above. We are happy to help you!

• Mac OS Server - local users on console does not.  The shared access or ssh on account works

  A Mac Mini running Mac OS Server has problems with authenticating the passwords of local users.  Users connect the console of the physical computer running macOS app Sierra and Server 5.2.

  I'm looking for a short solution from scratch user and migrating data to a new installation.

  My hunch is that there is an interaction with the server application.  The other Macs, I managed on the same network fail server and do not have these problems.

  I installed a new version of macOS Sierra and then migrate the old data server on using the migration wizard, but the problem persists.

  The server used to have users on the network, but they are all deleted, and all users are the.

  In application server, the only services running time machine, the caching server and file server.  DNS, DHCP and Open Directory services are disabled in the server application.

  A local user password will work normally when the computer is restarted.  But if the user disconnects, and tries to connect to or use the fast user switching back and forth between accounts, the password is not accepted.  On reboot, it will be accepted.

  In addition to passwords are not accepted, other errors when you try to connect to specific customers include:

  "Your account is not a valid directory.  For more information, contact your system administrator'

  or

  "On behalf of user that you selected is not available."  Check your network connection and try again to the user account.  If you are connected to the network, ask system administrator for assistance. »

  If a network is used to access the data of the user using the user name and password, it works.  Similarly, SSH'ing via the terminal using the username and password works.

  An admin user can change the password back and it usually works for one login.  Then the password is denied if the user disconnects or use the fast user switching.

  Thanks in advance for any help on this embarrassing problem!

  I should clarify: it's the passwords of local users on the Mac who stop working (for the connection or fast user switching), until the Mac restarts.

• Is it possible to install Firefox on multiple machines with plugins already installed using a flash drive?

  I am currently install Firefox on several machines and would like 2 plugins installed with installation. At this point, we have to install Firefox, then go back and install the 2 plugins. There must be an easier way. Plugins help our content company to load properly on machines.

  Oh boy, I see you don't have experience with this... ok, you've been around here, once you paste the file C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla you need to install firefox, firefox installs in C:\Program Files, and you're done, once firefox opens it checks the contents of C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla and load all the information there , addons, history, passwords, etc.
  In the plain English there are 2 files in Mozila\Firefox, one in C:\Program Files and contains ONLY what it takes to run firefox.exe, other Mozila\Firefox is located in your USER folder and contains your personal profile that has your plugins, addons, paswords, history, bookmarks, if you delete this folder once you run firefox it will create a new and start over If you have this folder you should have if you did stick it in the new machine, so when you install and run firefox it will be the contents of this folder and run, his cloning as your current firefox in another machine, but you need to install firefox because she needs to add extra stuff to the registry and stuff, BUT it is an alternative If you want to have both these files without having to install anything, just copy and paste, then you need a Firefox Portable, which will work with installation 0, being a little slow to start, but once opened will be will work also quickly as one installed (the disc depends on his work, a hard drive is fast (, a USB is faster an ssd we the fastest).
  If you still have questions feel free to ask. If you go the route portable firefox there are many videos on youtube that will show you how to do or where to download it. Good luck.

• Can I install Firefox if I don't have an email address

  Some users I want to install Firefox do not have, or insert an email address. Some have a web-based e-mail address. How Firefox be verifiable in these situations please

  You don't need to install Firefox, an e-mail address. IMO, better to use the full installer, offline, when you install Firefox for other people.

• Computer has two users & I want to give both users access to Firefox but don't know how

  Hello. Auto & woman on computer (W7) and two of us log in with password to access mail etc. There is NO problem of privacy.
  So we have 2 separate workstations on the computer, BUT the start of Mozilla button shows only when I am logged in as a user.
  There is a button start no. Mozilla desktop when my wife connects.

  I tried to set up two profiles using the "Profile Manager", but that has not worked. ""

  I'm a guy older and plu not computer savvy, but can follow the instructions if stated simply.

  What I want is that we are able to share Mozilla so that the program is visible to my wife when she opened a session.

  Thank you in advance.

  Sorry for the initial confusion.
  I've been too read in your first question and trying to cover all the bases. Responses of Gnospen may have already solved your problems, but if not may be the following aid.

  First a Firefox profile is always implemented and used, but that is irrelevant.
  Normally, this process is transparent to the user. It is that Firefox is put in place, and most of the users do not really he know about it. It is disturbing to normally advanced users or for troubleshooting purposes. One of these advanced uses to perform separate profiles for two people at the Windows of a computer account. I first thought that you can try to do.

  If I understand correctly. Now, I think that is the only thing you try to do

  1. Install Firefox in your wife Windows accounts. So your wife can use Firefox.
  2. Have your wife use the two accounts of Firefox. In the same way that you already use both e-mail accounts yourself without any problem.

  There is no need to share profiles of Firefox, use Firefox Sync, private browsing, or anything else complicated from there to achieve.

  Second point all you have to do is to ask your wife to install Firefox

  • Please follow the instructions in this article
    How to download and install Firefox on Windows
    • Ask your wife to do it from his own computer with its own accounts. (Or you do for your wife but using his accounts and passwords for Windows)
    • Note Standard install install a shortcut to start Firefox.

  In addition
  If you use Internet Explorer (IE), you can have a few Favorites saved on IE. Firefox calls these bookmarks. You should be able to copy this information in Firefox as part of the installation process. Or as a separate process at a later date. See

  • Import Internet Explorer Favorites from another computer
  • Use folders to organize your bookmarks
  • Also see these articles (with screenshots a video clips) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/get-started/bookmarks -> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-bookmarks-save-your-favorite-webpages

• Is it possible to install Firefox without using default browser of the phone?

  I would like to install Firefox and Thunderbird on a new Galaxy S - III w/o accepting the default browser.
  Is it possible to download on a PC, and a port then it on the phone?
  The phone is running Android OS Kit Kat 4.4.2
  It's on Verizon cell network.

  First of all there is no Thunderbird for Android. Any application that claims to be is malware. You can try e-mail K-9 client for messaging Android open source instead.

  By default, we suggest Google game users get Firefox for Android, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox

  If you're completely avoiding all Google services, we suggest the build Firefox Aurora because it has an auto updater. It can be downloaded from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#aurora

  You can install the build buy using the Android SDK on your desktop or copy the apk on your phone and using a browser of files, such as OI file manager to locate the file and start the installation program. You will need change the setting of the Android OS for the installation of applications from "unknown Sources".

• I saved my folder profile from another pc, something went wrong when pasting it to this pc, now I can't even install Firefox at all!

  I copied my profile of a pc folder and went to paste into the spot on the next pc profile, according to the instructions on the web page of Firefox. Of course, I did something wrong, because I got a pop up that said that it could not access my profile, or something (don't remember). So I uninstalled and reinstalled or tried, but it gets at the end of the installation, when it would normally launch FF, I get a pop up saying your profile could not be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
  I think he "installed" correctly, because it is the FF icon in my taskbar and the shortcut on my desktop.
  HEEELP!

  Here's a guess:

  If you had already installed Firefox, then deleted the default profile, he has created:

  The problem may be that Firefox has a record of this missing folder and does not see your new. Check the following to a file called profiles.ini path:

  C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
  

  Note: by default, AppData is a hidden folder. If you do not, you can use this 'shortcut' instead (paste into the search box or address bar of Windows Explorer):

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
  

  Open it in Notepad or another text editor and change the folder name to match the one that you copied on the profile.

  What is the scenario/solution?
