How do I change a setting for adobe in my active directory?

We are having issues with employees' adobe where the save as will just create a grey box with no options and they are forced to restart their adobe acrobat. The solution is to uncheck the "show online storage when saving files" option. But going to every computer and account and disabling them would be a nightmare. Is there anyway we could implement a script of some sort of script for our active directory to automatically disable this setting?
I am not much of a programmer or scripter so any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
• The registry key path for the option ‘Show online storage when saving files’ is ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral’ and the key for this option is ‘bToggleCustomSaveExperience’ is ‘DWORD’ value which is set when the option in Adobe is checked, i.e., its value is ‘00000000’.
• So, to uncheck it and remove that option from multiple systems, we can use the following script and deploy it through Group policy on all the systems where Adobe is installed.
‘ Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral -Name bToggleCustomerSaveExperience -Value 00000001 -Type DWord ‘
When you execute the above powershell command on a Windows system with Adobe where the setting needs to be unchecked, it successfully unchecks that option from registry. Also, you need to save the above command in a ‘.ps1’ extension document for it to run successfully and deploy this script through group policy as follows: -
Go to your Domain Controller and open the Group policy management console. Then create or edit a GPO (default domain policy).
Navigate to ‘Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)’
Select ‘Startup or Shutdown’ as per your convenience, select ‘Powershell Scripts’ then select ‘Add’, then browse to the script location, select the script file, then ‘OK’ and save the configuration.
Also, set the priority of the GPO accordingly and deploy it across the domain.
• When this script is deployed and executed successfully, the said setting is automatically disabled, and your issue is resolved.

Why does .MSI file open read-only?

I am attempting to open a .MSI installer package file to modify it. Whenever I try to open it, it opens in read-only mode. I see this with Orca, with InstEd, or when opening the file directly via code:
`MsiOpenDatabase()` (ERROR_OPEN_FAILED with MSIDBOPEN_DIRECT or
MSIDBOPEN_TRANSACT persistence modes).
The file itself does not have the read-only attribute set (in fact, has no attributes set)
I am using an account with Administrators group access
As far as I can tell, no other process has the file open
No installs are in progress or suspended
I can copy the file to another location, and open it read/write there. But the original, I cannot touch
Thanks in advance for your help.
My guess is that this is caused by one of the following factors:
Custom NTFS access rights - defined for the file in its security descriptor
The file might be "blocked" - marked with a special flag after being downloaded via Internet Explorer.
The resolution for the latter is to right click the file and select properties and click the unblock button at the bottom of the property page and pressing OK.
The resolution for custom NTFS rights are done in a similar way by going into the security
tab of the property page for the file, but it is easier just to copy and paste the file and use the fresh copy with the default security.
Found it.
#Glytzhkof, you almost had it but there's a detail I did not know about, and left out. This is a package that lies in a folder under "access protection" by my system's anti-virus program: a filesystem hook that blocks modification of critical system and AV files. Turn off access protection temporarily, and the file is wide open.
Fortunately, one of my teammates had some experience with this, and suggested I try it. Bingo.
Thanks, all.
What I have done to get it working was to create first a backup of the MSI file, and then open that backup. It worked for me
Try to close/kill processes that might interfere, for example:
Other running Install shield instances
Installshield updater
Installshield licensing service
Antivirus

Apply a wallpaper to a computer OU via AD

Every reference to applying a wallpaper to a computer via AD goes through the user.
I need to apply a wallpaper to a set of computers, a student lab specifically, and a wallpaper specific to that lab.
Students have their own AD accounts and due to that I don't have access to their accounts, just these computers.
If you can use Group Policy at the Active Directory level you could specify a wallpaper, the image could either be on the local PC or accessible through a UNC path. Doing it via GPO will mean the wallpaper cannot be changed by the user and you have control over the images.
You can achieve this by opening Group Policy Management and editing a policy to apply the setting to.
The exact path to the object will depend upon the version of GPO you are running, on my PC it is User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper.
You would then enable the setting and complete the wallpaper options - Path and style.
You may find this page useful it has some screen shots and a couple different methods to set this through Group Policy: http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/03/best-practice-using-group-policy-to-configure-desktop-wallpaper-background/

Windows 7: Set "Copy Settings" programmatically from a batch file

I'm constructing a batch file that will auto-configure Windows 7's regional settings for all users.
So far, I've successfully been able to set (mostly) all of the regional settings for the current user, but I need to be able to apply the same settings to all new users. You can do this via the GUI, by going into Region and Language > Administrative > Copy Settings and selecting both checkboxes. I would like to do this programmatically, though. Does anyone know of a registry key I can set or something that will do this?
Failing that, I'll settle for a way to programmatically open the Region and Language > Administrative > Copy Settings window. I've been able to successfully open the Region and Language > Administrative window with start rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,3, but I would like to eliminate one more step from the process, if possible.
Update
Sorry, I seem to have forgotten to mention how I'm applying these settings. I'm doing this by executing an exported .reg file, that contains the optimal settings, with regedit.exe /s "regional.reg"
How are you applying the settings now? Via the registry?
If you put the settings under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT instead of (or in addition to) HKEY_CURRENT_USER, they should be used during profile creation.

ASP.NET -The current identity (Machine\ASPNET) does not have write access to 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'

I am having this issue on my Win XP Professional Development Machine. My application is on Virtual Directory.
The current identity (MachineName\ASPNET) does not have write access to 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'.
I have done following so far.
1. Must Not Use Simple File Sharing. After Changing Settings, Pls Reboot.
Open your My Computer, the on menu, select Tool >> Folder Option the Select View Tab,
Uncheck Use Simple File Sharing
2 Adding User Permission
When you create virtual directory on IIS, the actual folder you used with it must have access permission
To do this, follow:
select the properties of your actual folder, then select Sharing Tab
select option Share This Folder
specify the ShareName (commonly folder name itself)
then select Security tab, you will see the Group and Username listed there.
to add ASPNET just click ADD
pop up window will appear "Select User or Group"
Click Advance and Click Find Now
All Users and Group will be listed there, try to find ASPNET and select OK
you will going to back on Security tab and select something like "RAD/ASPNET", under that you will see "Permission for ASP.NET"
for the last step, check Full Control under Allow Column, then OK
3 I Have tried, the aspnet_regiis exe in the framework folder!
Still does not work, Any other options or suggestions please..
Update:
My Hard disk is completely encrypted. Does it have any impact?
Encrypted shouldn't affect.
Try going to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files in a file windows explorer and give all access to your ASPNET and Network accounts.
