How to share ATI AIW settings with multiple users?

[Wayne]

Hey Tim, if I'm the one who doesn't understand, then why are you just now
saying the same words I said days ago?

In this message you'll see two things:

First, you'll see I was nice while you were rude. Second you'll see, I
pointed out how someone has to logon to set a schedule, but the schedule can
run when nobody is logged on.

excuse me. I pasted the link where Tim said the Franklin is older than the
Apple II. Here's the right one:

"IF" we could find a solution using Group Policy, then yes, using a loopback
on the computer policy would be the way to implement it.

I'm not aware of any way to "run as.." using group policy. But if we could,
....there's the solution.

from an old "Franklin" computer

You're wrong. The Apple II came before the Franklin.

Ok, I give, you're right there. I was only going from what he told me (the
older gentleman)... he always bragged how it was so ancient and would always use
the term "Older than an Apple II"... but I myself have not heard of a Franklin
prior to meeting him. But I had heard of and have used an Apple II.

Simple. You can't USE the computer (as in interacting with it) unless

Depends on how you define "use". I use my news proxy just fine just
fine without logging on for example. The same for the firewall.

I'm meaning, by the term "use", that a user is doing something, an action is
being taken by the user to cause an effect. In this case, that is false, even
in your statement. The computer is using those services... it initiated them
itself automatically. There's no button or start menu to launch a program or
start a service without having logged onto the system.

"For example, if I wanted to access the shared disk or printer of this computer
from another computer, nobody would have to logon at the keyboard of this
computer."

No, not locally, but thru the other computer, you have logged on and the system
has authenticated you for access to that system. If that user on that system has
sufficient credentials to access the other computer across the network, you are
being authenticated by that computer as well when you make the connection.

I do apologize for my rudeness, but you have to admit you were not being totally
clear AT ALL in your original message, regarding "default profiles" when none
exist... (Profiles are stored in the \Documents and Settings folder of the
system drive). That is what I believe caused this mess.

No, the computer is not "using those services". I am using those
services to send and recieve mail and USENET posts among other things.

There's no button
or start menu to launch a program or start a service without having
logged onto the system.

One can use a machine without launching a program, and services are
started automatically by the operating system without any user having to
log in.

First, I want to say thanks for admitting that. You might possibly change
my opinion of you someday.

Second, I want to point out that it was the bragging of your knowledge and
experience that revealed your arrogance set you up for this embarrassment.

 

[Wayne]

thru the other computer, you have logged on

That's only true when "users" access resources. But a computer executes
code just fine when nobody is logged on and nobody authenticates.

you were not being totally
clear AT ALL in your original message,

When I said nobody is "required" to logon, that's exactly what I meant.

Furthermore, there is no excuse for how rude and arrogant you are.

You're simply WRONG, in all the meaning of that word. The shame and
emabarrassment is entirely yours.

 

[Tim]

As pointed out on another thread, I am using the word use as in "interacting
with"... as one would do with a hammer, a pencil, etc. I'm using those, as in I
am coming into contact with it in an effort to cause an effect.

Well clarity in your posts would be of great help in someone else solving a
problem of yours next time.

As far as using a computer, my way of "using" requires user-level interaction...
as in physically activating something, coming into contact with in an effort to
cause an effect. I use a pen to write, I use a hammer to drive a nail, I use the
phone to place a call.... etc. Do you understand what it is I am trying to say
here? I do admit to being to being short in my posts, but it was your ignorance
that instigated the rudeness in all of our posts on this thread. We obviously
have different meaning for the word "use". Your meaning of "use" is not at all
near my meaning, which has been the way I have known it all my life.


An example on the clarity (might better had said "you being wrong")

Thanks for your attention. We're using WinXP Pro on a Domain network. It
create's a profile for each user. There is also an "All Users" profile and
a "Default" profile. But when nobody is logged on, the Default profile info
is used.

That is 100% incorrect. Yes, there is an All Users profile, in the \Documents
and Settings folder of the system drive. However, there is no Default profile.
This whole flaming thread has been about one person's meaning of one word in
comparison with another. I regret ever attempting help, and I regret ever
replying to useless threads.

So long, best of luck getting it to work.

Tim, I'm sorry you didn't know that nobody is required to logon. I'm sorry
you don't know why or how anyone would use a computer without logging on.

it was your ignorance

Tim, the more you attack and insult, the more you prove me right when I say
you are rude and

....you are wrong. ...and we all see it but you.
