Mobile Account Login/Logout Sync Not Skipping Inputted Items

I'm running a Leopard Server 10.5.6 Advanced Config ODM.
No matter what I put into the Login & Logout Sync tab underneath "Skip items that match any of the following" it still syncs everything.
I enter "ends with" ".mp3", "mp3" and it still syncs the test MP3s I put onto the desktop for the user.
I ask it to not sync ~/Documents and it still syncs the test documents I put into that folder.
This user is set to sync at login and logout with no background sync. The client machine is using 10.5.6.
Merge with user's settings NOT checked
Background Sync > Never
Option > Never
Account Creation > Creation
Create mobile account when user logs in to network CHECKED
Create home:
with default sync settings: CHECKED

Thanks for the reply.
Under
GROUP->PREFERENCES->MOBILE->RULES
Login and Lougout Sync->Always
Sync at login and logout->Checked
Merge with user's settings->Not Checked and never has been.
Unfortunately, that can't be it
Here are some screen shots of my settings. As you can see Background sync is not enabled.
Nevermind, it won't let me attach files.

Mobile account managed preferences sync rules not applied

Hello everyone!
I am testing out mobile accounts and home sync on a few of the machines I have. My goal is too use mobile accounts as a way to backup small documents. I have many preference and Home sync rules applied to a group. All the machines I have added to this group seem to recognize these rules, but one machine does not. It is syncing folders and file types that I have excluded. I have checked the users managed preferences file and it appears to be correct, yet when I start a sync it does not appear to follow it's own managed preferences.
One thing I should add is that these machines have been using plain old local accounts and I have been migrating them to mobile accounts using this method:
http://www.macenterprise.org/articles/migratingalocalusertoanetworkuser
This method seems to work great except for the fact that the users preferences like the dock don't appear to be carried over.

Did you ever solve this? I have just started testing this in our office as well. It appears I have a machine that does not appear to obey the rules ether. I am also migrating local accounts to mobile accounts.

Login/logout sync hangs

I am trying to migrate my user account to a portable home directory. (OSX Server 10.4.8, OSX Client 10.4.8). I have a small network (8 users) and everyone else has been using network accounts and portable home directories for months. I had a large amount of data in my account and just didn't want to take the time until I had some serious sound problem with my laptop and had to do an erase and install to fix it. So I decided to convert to a network account but put most of my files outside my home directory. The only thing in my home directory are my apple mail files. I can't get login logout sync to complete succeessfully. It goes through "checking items" and changes the folder it displays until it gets to the last one where it hangs for hours and never actually starts synchronizing. My work around was to remove all but a couple of my mailboxes from ~/library/mail and then sync by logging out/in. I then would add a couple more mail boxes and repeat. This is a tedious process.
I could not find any discussion about limitations on the number of files that login/logout sync can process. I suspect there is some memory limit on the total number of files in a directory or the total number of changed files and instead of complaining it just hangs. Has anyone seen this? Does anyone know of a limit on the number of files. I have about 14 GB of mail archives with 100,000s of messages.
I suspect I will have to archive them outside of the ~/library/mail folder and maybe do a symlink.

Not even sure you can do this but you might look for Login/Logout Hooks that can perform the action your looking to do. There would have to be a way to shell-script the Sync part of RHD which I'm not sure you can.
On the Server Side you can control what get auto synced and what does not in WGM. Then you just set it all to auto on login/logout.

Mobile account setup stops syncing and acts like a network user

Mobile account setup stops syncing and acts like a network user system under ODM
Setup: Mobile laptop users authenticating against an ODM. Every user has a networked home directory on an Xserve. The whole setup is 10.4 (client and server). All systems run a standard image. Most effected systems have been re-imaged since the onset of the issue.
Issue: Some of the users are not syncing properly every time. It is as if the system forgets it is a mobile system and reverts to using the User's network home (instead of saving to /Users and syncing). If the user is effected, the system will not even accept cached credentials if they are off network. This forgetfulness does not seem to follow any pattern and does not effect all of our mobile users.
In mucking about trying to find a cause to this issue I ran across an oddity in all effected systems Netinfo database. The users are each listed twice. Each entry has the same username, short name and UID. Also, In each case one record looks wrong... this varies somewhat from user to user, but in each case there is marked difference in the record's contents. Deleting the incomplete record in Netinfo manager seems to solve the issue (seems, as we are very early in testing this).
Anyone have a clues as to where this double came from? The only lead so far is that it looks like the users having issues pre-date the use of mobile accounts. At some time they all had local accounts that authenticated against the ODM but never synced or had networked home directories. The pool of users who just got laptops (and thus never had a local account) seem unaffected so far.
Also, what is the best way to browse the ODM master to find these duplicates?

I have a similar issue with computers bound to Active Directory. Users occasionally have a problem logging into their computers even though their account is fine. Logging in as Admin and running netinfo manager always shows duplicate user accounts. Deleting the one that says disabled always clears up the issue. I'd like to find a startup script that would delete the disabled account, thus preventing the issue.

Getting ~/Library to sync in background when login/logout sync turned off

I have a bunch of laptop users with very slow network connections where I need to turn off login/logout sync and only sync data in the background manually. Problem is, if you turn off login/logout sync it also turns off syncing ~/Library in the background.
Now if you use the Details tab for MCX setting in WGM you can add the key "Sync Preferences in the Background" and set it to "sync" but it doesn't make any difference.
Anyone know how to work around this so I don't have to sync anything at login/logout but can still sync Preferences in background when I manually do a sync?

I don't think it's in the GUI, but you can manage this stuff pretty granularly with the following boolean flags in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homeSync.plist:
<key>syncBackgroundSetAtLogin</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncBackgroundSetAtLogout</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtLogin</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtLogout</key>
<string>sync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtSyncNow</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesInBackground</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
I think the keys you want are syncPreferencesInBackground and/or syncPreferencesAtSyncNow. However, I found that this unpredicatably didn't sync everything. PHD has a generally hard time with open files and many of these files are open. Also, note that 10.5 changed in that it considers any hidden folders loose in your home folder (e.g. .ssh/) to be included in "Preference" syncing only occurring at Logout and Login. This isn't really documented or shown anywhere. I'm pretty sure that they are ignored in the background *even with* the above flags in use. Note that I haven't played with these in a while, so your mileage might vary. Perhaps they're just not ready for prime time.
EDIT:
Actually, I just remember where and how I found these: You need to follow the directions for "Using the Preference Editor to Manage Core Services" on page 236 of the User Management manual. This gives you the location of Preference Manifest for Home Folder Syncing which has a bucketload of cool options, including automatic conflict resolution.

Hi welly
I just got a similar issue and possibly found a (really ugly) workaround.
My Mobile Clients do their initial sync fine, also background sync worked as expected. I ran into troubles as soon as I tried to sync manually. And the logout syncs didn't work at all. The issue only occured on third party smb servers, afp currently works fine for me with the same configuration.
Additionally the poor clients desperately try to connect to the network home again and again and again and thus cause a lot of very ugly traffic on the network.
I kind of "solved" this as I realized that other shares from the same server are mounted on the machines as well. I unmounted them with the Finder and suddenly all the syncs worked like a charm..
I'm really curious if this is a newly introduced bug with 10.6.7 or 10.6.6, I had machines with 10.6.5 (or was it 10.6.4?) properly running with mobile accounts in the same setup.
Here are my error messages from system.log

Mobile account login delay when offline from Active Directory

We're getting a few MacBook Pros setup with our AD domain. All is well while on the network, but when traveling, it takes our users about 20-30 seconds to login, presumably because the client is trying to authenticate against a domain controller. Accounts are setup as mobile accounts so the credentials are cached locally.
It's frustrating that a solution isn't more readily published by Apple given how common a use case this is. It shouldn't be buried somewhere in a forum.

I figured it was because AD was somehow being looked up. I got it nailed down the the wireless connection. Turning off the AirPort connection is not a viable option as not all users are savvy enough, or remember to turn it off before taking their laptop home. One instructor was setup this way and she's isn't happy with the "resolve".
On further research, I have determined a plausible solution, at least with Mac OS 10.4.7. I haven't tested anything earlier. Open the System Preferences and then Network. Show the AirPort configuration, then click on the Option button located next the checkbox to show the AirPort status in the menu bar. There's a checkbox in there to "Disconnect from wireless networks when I log out." By checking this, the wireless connection will be disconnected but the card will remain on. This will force the computer to use the cached credentials on log in. When the user logs in, the computer will attempt to reestablish a connection with the wireless network.
I'll let you know if this works with other Macs as well.

Login/Logout sync with user control over folders to sync

We have a user who needs modify the folders that are synced periodically.
The user has multiple computers that they keep synced with OS X Server 10.4.10.
We turned background sync to unmanaged and they are able to modify their settings and left login/logoff sync as managed. Any time they login/logoff auto sync does not occur.
How do we configure their settings so that they can adjust the folders that get synced and still have auto sync at login/logoff?

Not even sure you can do this but you might look for Login/Logout Hooks that can perform the action your looking to do. There would have to be a way to shell-script the Sync part of RHD which I'm not sure you can.
On the Server Side you can control what get auto synced and what does not in WGM. Then you just set it all to auto on login/logout.

Mobile account settings & home sync

I've learned recently that introducing a MacBook into a corporate Windows world is easier said than done, but I've been fairly successful. One problem that has occurred recently (maybe due to a recent update) is that I can no longer access the Mobile account settings in my Accounts preferences. I setup the first MacBook Pro around the first of March. I successfully assigned a networked location as my home folder, and it synced just fine.
Now I've setup a second MacBook Pro today and found that I can't access the Mobile account settings in the Accounts preferences. Going back to my original MacBook Pro, I get the same thing... greyed out. I click on the Home Sync button in the toolbar and I click on "Sync Now" and I get no response. I see that it shows my last Home sync was on 3/4/10.
I don't have an OSX server here, we're using Active Directory on a Win2008 server. No specific rules have been assigned to these machines, but the accounts are Active Directory accounts.
Anyone have an idea why I can't use the home functions? These are new 15" MacBook Pro models with 10.6.3 software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I got the same problem with our second Mac. But after activating it in: System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Menu Extras and then HomeSync.menu, it became editable.
Does someone know how to change the server folder that the mac will sunc with?

Why is my google accounts login in page not working?

If I try to access any webpage with a Google accounts login on, for example Youtube Login Page, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Mail... etc... Firefox freezes and I lose all control of the program and have to abort with Task Manager. This is only a problem on beta, as it worked fine in previous versions, and other browsers.

I think that you might be using a serial number that is not legitimate. Only blacklisted serial numbers will give such message or prompt you to activate the software each time you launch. Please check with Adobe customer support chat to confirm that you're using a valid serial numbers.
What happens is, when the software is returned for a refund that are purchased from Adobe.com store some people sell it online in auctions site like eBay along with the complete package. You can report this issue at [email protected] and action will be taken accordingly. Please check the reseller list in adobe.com website

Account total balance does not equal line item balance

Hi,
I find one account total balance diff with its line item balance? What could be the reason?
Thanks

I have seen this before in an account which was designated as a retained earnings account - prior year rolls into the account are not a posting in the conventional sense.
Hope this helps!

Mobile account can't sync on the server itself

This should be a super simple lion server setup: 1 iMac running Lion Server with a set of network accounts, and 1 Mac Mini (running Lion) bound to the OD master running on the iMac. The iMac hosts the OD master and the network accounts. I'd like users to be able to use both the iMac and the Mini with the same accounts (mobile or network), but setting the Home directory correctly in Server.app is driving me nuts:
If I set the the home folder to "Local only" (equivalent to setting the home path to /Users in Workgroup Manager), the users can log in to the Server with no problems, but don't have access to their files on the Mini. Authentication is fine, they just don't access the correct network home directories.
If I set the home folder to "Users" (equivalent to setting the Home URL to afp://iMac.private/Users/username and the Full Path to: /Network/Servers/iMac.private/Users/username in Workgroup Manager), they can log in to the Mini, but home sync on the server gives this error:
There was a problem connecting to the server "iMac.private".
This file server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.
And then the home sync fails.
So, what's the solution? Do I need to make a fake path on the server that looks like a network mount?

When you're on the Mac mini can you Ping or access the iMac server with "iMac.private"?
Does DNS running fine on the Server? Is the Server set as the DNS server on the client?
What is the output from "sudo changeip -checkhostname" on the Server in Terminal.app?
Sound's like the Mac mini couldn't resolve the iMac's DNS-name "iMac.private".

Mobile account login about 10 mins on mac os x server

Hi there!
I successfully created mobile user accounts. When I log-in from my power book the mobile user is created and synched. If I try to log-in on my G5 workstation where mac os x server is installed the log-in procedure takes about 10 mins. Logging in with local accounts is as fast as one would expect.
A look into system.log shows that there are problems to mount the users mount point. Please see:

Looks like Apple has decided that access to the root user is not a needed thing for most users. I called Apple and asked about this issue as I had just had it occur - and I was logged into terminal BEFORE update to 10.6.8 as root - after I was unable to do so -
Apple walked me thought this -
System prefs ---->Accounts -----> unlock ------>
Click on Network Account Server "Join" ----->
Choose "Open Directory Utility" -------> This opens directory utility window -----> Unlock lock at bottom.
Go to "Edit" Menu and choose "Enable Root user" ------> it will ask for password. ( only 1st time after 10.6.8 update)
Now you can log into the root user in your terminal.
You can disable the root user - this will prevent you from logging in as root in terminal.
I am not sure - but is there a security RISK here? The option to re-set the root password via the above method ( as an admin user) - but with out re-booting the machine and using the install DVD?
My 2 cents.

Why the account login list does not show up on menu bar?

I see bunch of other icons including Bluetooth in Tiger on my Intel Mac mini, but somehow the list of accounts disseapared. I have that on my PowerMac Tiger and did exist from the the day I upgraded to Panther, but why it does not show up in Tiger?
Any idea how to bring accounts so I could login to another and have that turning 3D screen and changing to another account?
Thanks,
Maciek

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and turn
on Fast User Switching if it isn't already on.
(11071)
It worked fine. Thanks a lot!
One more note to the tip: it required to unlock the padlock as administrator and then select Login Options below list of users. Otherwise the option does not show anywhere.

How do I not sync notes with my email? I have a business email on my iphone as well as my husbands iphone. Now all of my notes are on his phone, and all of his notes he previously has on his iphone are gone. We have never adjusted any settings or hooked it up to itunes, I only added the shared email account to his phone. Help???

Hi StoneLeadyFarms,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like notes on your devices may have synced when the email account was added, as described here:
iOS: Syncing Notes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
Notes are associated with an IMAP email account or iCloud account. To sync Notes, enable Notes for each account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
You can stop syncing notes by tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud, tapping the email address that you added, and switching Notes to the off position.
Additionally, if your husband has backed up his iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, the steps in this article can help with recovering the lost notes from his device:
