In Exchange 2010, its possible to set a user message that appears in Outlook 2010 above the 'Send' button when composing a new email. Can anyone advise where this is configured?
Thanks, Duncan

I see no way to Access Windows security. In "old" 2008 R2 there was a "Windows Security" entry in the start menu when coming via rdp.
In the new Metro Start Menu, the username context menu allows me to lock the Computer or log out - but not Change the Password.
Yes, I can go through user Management, but this is not something I want People to do ;)
We have a host that will be used for creating VM clones from time to time for testing purposees.It is used actively for testing and users tend to keep a lot of files in their profiles.
Is there way to impose limit on user profile on OU level without introducing roaming profiles?
I'm curently hosting my clients web-sites on some vps servers. What I would like to know, how many visitors can use the multiple web sites concurrently, before I need to migrate each of the sites to their seperate servers?
So in laymans terms, how much RAM does a web-page user take on average? For example, how many concurrent visitors can I have on my server, running an Apache server, with 512mb RAM?
I'm in the progress of remaking one our products user interface to be more modern and apealing aswell as user friendly. It's a web based application that is used by all types of people. My question for you is what do you think are the key factors of a sexy interface? An interface that is appealing and leave the user with a WOW feeling?
Trying to start a unicorn daemon as a non-root user but failing hard.
Unicorn gives the the following error:

sudo chmod g+w /var/run/sinatra_test
ls -ld /var/run/sinatra_test returns:

What am I missing? Still getting Permission denied errors.
I have a machine running ESX v3.5 and the root user is unable to perform tasks like shut down the esx server, create new VM's, manage roles, pretty much everything except for starting and stopping VM's.
How do I (re)set these permissions?
How do you change the font face and font size used by the Windows Ribbon Framwork?
Background
The user can configure Windows to use their preferred font size, e.g.:
8pt
9pt
12pt
and their preferred font face, e.g.:
MS Sans Serif
Microsoft Sans Serif
Tahoma
Segoe UI
Calibri
but the Windows Ribbon Framework by default uses a font that is not the user's preference.
Additionally, the user could have specified their font preference in my application, which i want the Ribbon hosted in my application to honor.
Hi,
I am looking for ways to implement custom user-roles in windows application with vb.net. I got a database table called Roles with Administrator and User entries. User cannot see some of the form data. In ASP.NET MVC we can do like.
[Authorize(Roles = "Administrator")]
public function GetAccount() as Array
End Function
If it could be done this way that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
I have a group of users on my server, "Developers", and I would like an environment variable to be set for them whenever they login.
More specifically, when anyone in this group logs in, I would like the equivalent of:
setenv ANDROID_SDK_HOME /Developers/Android/User
to be set at login. I can do this with a login script if necessary, but what I'm asking is: is it possible to set this type of thing in Profile Manager, Workgroup Manager, Directory Utility, etc?
Thanks - I've looked everywhere but can't find anything.
I can login to the local PC and connect to Exchange server - on the same physical network if i log into the domain i cannot connect to the Exchange server.
DNS / DHCP all functioning as expected. User has AD account with Domain Admin rights.
Quite confusing!
I have windows server 2003 r2 standard edition and some XP OS clients
systems. I have created the DNS and profiles for all user.
Now I want to authorized some users to installation of softwares,
remove softwares and other such kind of things.
How to I make such kind of policies for all different users on DNS.
Please help me.
May be this question can be same for another but I didn't get the
solutions.
I am interested in hearing opinions and experiences of fellow developers on topic of designing user interface, usability AND maintainability-wise.
Common approach is to allow users to tweak options and after form gets "dirty", enable "Apply" button, and user has possibility to back out by pressing cancel. This is most common approach on Windows platform (I believe MS usability guidelines say to do so as well).
Another way is to apply changes after every single change has been made to options. Example, user checks some checkbox, and change is applied. User changes value of some text box, and change is applied after box looses focus, etc. You get the point. This approach is most common on Mac OSX.
Regardless of my personal opinion (which is that Apple is better at usability, but software I usually write targets Windows users), what do you people think?
is it possible with mysql to automatically grant an user (which has CREATE privilege)
ALL privileges exclusively on her new created databases ? (without manually changing rights after the db is created)
I'm using the InputManager to check if changes to controls are done by user or code. This works fine, except when user uses the context menu for cut/copy/paste. If the user do ctrl+v in a textbox, InputManager correctly notices it. However, if the paste is done from the context menu of the textbox, the InputManager never fires the PreNotifyInput or PostNotifyInput events. Anyone knows why? Or how to detect that these user actions? Below is a working sample. The lower textblock never gets updated when user uses the cut/copy/paste menu in the above textbox since PreNotifyInput never fires.
XAML:
<Window x:Class="InputMgrDemo.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Height="300" Width="300">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox TextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged" />
<TextBlock Name="_text" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Code behind:
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Input;
namespace InputMgrDemo
{
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
InputManager.Current.PreNotifyInput += ((sender, e) => _userInput = true);
InputManager.Current.PostNotifyInput += ((sender, args) => _userInput = false);
}
private void TextBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (_userInput)
{
_text.Text = (sender as TextBox).Text;
}
}
private bool _userInput;
}
}
have a terminal server 2003 that about 50users can use, users are saving documents on the desktop, today users complain that documents on the desktop is missing, no upgrades or changes has been done
the error is that the server reverted to load items the folder name "Desktop" instaed of using the local language "Skrivbord" (swedish for desktop)
So the files are still on the server located under the users swedish folder name, but server does not load it, server however does load files located under the English folder name
how can the terminal server from one day to another just change from where it loads the user profile desktop files?
For administrative purposes, I sometimes need to log in as another user to diagnose a problem with their account. I'd like to be able to do this without having to change their password so I don't have to keep bothering them. Under Unix, I can just save the encrypted password from the passwd file, change the password, then edit the old encrypted password back into the passwd file. Is there a way of doing something similar in AD?
I am building a system with a User model (authenticated using AuthLogic) and three user types in three models: one of these models is Employer. Each of these three models has_many :users, :as = :authenticable.
I start by having a new visitor to the site create their own 'User' record with username, password, which user type they are, etc.
Upon creation, the user is sent to the 'new' action for one of the three models. So, if they tell us they are an employer, we redirect_to :controller = "employers, :action = "new".
Question: When the employer has submitted, I want to set the current_user.user_type_id equal to the employer ID. This should be simple... but it's not working.
# Employers Controller / new
def new
@employer = Employer.new
1.times {@employer.addresses.build}
render :layout => 'forms'
end
# Employers Controller / create
def create
@employer = Employer.new(params[:employer])
if @employer.save
if current_user.blank?
redirect_to :controller => "users", :action => "new"
else
current_user.user_type_id = @employer.id
current_user.user_type = "Employer"
redirect_to :action => "home", :id => current_user.user_type_id
end
else
render :action => "new"
end
end
------UPDATE------
Hi guys. In response:
I am using this table structure because each of my three user type models have lots of different fields and each has different relationships to the other models, which is why I've avoided STI.
By 1.times (@employer.addresses.build) I'm connecting the employer model to the address polymorphic table in one form, so I'm asking the controller to build a new address to go along with the new employer.
Averell: you mentioned encapsulating... something in the model using a 'setter' method. I have no idea what you mean by this - could you please explain how this works (or direct me to an example elsewhere)? With tsdbrown's answer I have managed to create the behavior I want... if there's a more elegant way to accomplish the same thing I'd love to learn how.
Thanks very much.
Thanks to tsdbrown for answering the current_user.save problem!
simple issue.. I'm a noob
I am running a cisco 5500 ASA which is used to manage a VPN, I need the command used to check the current user list.
I think it might be an 'access-list', if so I have no idea what the name of the access list is, is there a way to show the access lists?
thanks.
I was trying to follow the instructions found here to set up a catch-all account, but still I get the following message for mails sent to non-existent users:
The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 [email protected]... User unknown (state 14).
Everything else works, though... /etc/mail/local-host-names and /etc/mail/virtusertable were set up as instructed. Any advice? Thanks!
I have a scenario where a user is emailing another user in an HTML based web app.
For the To: field, the user may select one of a pre-defined list of emails OR enter their own ignoring the pre-defined options.
What would be the best way of doing this from a UI point of view? I've looked at editable select boxes using jQuery but none seem to let you enter your own option.
Is there some other UI mechanism that would work here?
To save trips to sql db in my older apps, I store *dozens of data points about the current user in an array and then store the array in a session. For example, info that might be used repeatedly during user’s session might be stored…
Dim a(7) as string
a(0) = “FirstName”
a(1) = “LastName”
a(2) = “Address”
a(3) = “Address2”
a(4) = “City”
a(5) = “State”
a(6) = “Zip”
session.add(“s_a”, a)
*Some apps have an array 100 in size.
That is something I learned in my asp classic days. Referencing the correct index can be laborsome and I find it difficult to go back and add another data point in the array grouped with like data. For example, suppose I need to add Middle Initial to the array as a design alteration. Unless I redo the whole index mapping, I have to stick Middle Initial in the next open slot, which might be in the 50s.
NOW, I am considering doing something easier to reference each time (eliminating the need to know the index of the value wanted). So I am looking to do this…
session.add(“Firstname”, “FirstName”)
session.add(“Lastname”, “LastName”)
session.add(“Address”, “Address”)
etc.
BUT, before I do this, I would like some guidance. I am afraid this might be less efficient, even though easier to use. I don’t know if a new session object is created for each data point or if there is only one session object, and I am adding a name/value pair to that object?
If I am adding a name/value pair to a single object, that seems like a good idea. Does anyone know? Or is there a more preferred way? Built-in Profile class?
Re: Profile class
I have an internal debate about scope.
It seems that the .net Profile class is good for storing app-SPECIFIC user settings (i.e. style theme, object display properties, user role, etc.) The examples I give are information whose values are selected/edited by the user to customize the application experience. This information is not typically stored/edited elsewhere in the app db.
But when you have data that 1) is stored already in the app db and 2) can be altered by other users (in this case: company reps may update client's status, address, etc.), then the persistence of the Profile data may be an issue. In this case, the Profile would need to be reset at the beginning and dropped like a session.abandon at the end of each user's session to prevent reloading info that had since been edited by someone. I believe this is possible, but not sure
Currently, I use the session array to store both scopes, app-specific and user-specific data.
If my session plan is good, I think I will create a class to set/get values from the session also. I appreciate your thoughts. I would like to know how others have handled this type of situation. Thanks.
