Unable to login with an Active Directory account on 10.6.7

I just got a Mac Airbook and I'm trying to connect with my AD account. I was able to bind my computer to the domain succesfully but when I try and logon with my AD account I get the shakes. I verified my binding with the green light next to "Network Account Server". I asked some admins who have older macs and they guided me through the settings but it still doesn't work for me. The only thing that shows up in the logs when I attempt to login is "Active Directory could not find GUID for DOMAIN\domain to update admin group". And yes, my local user is different than my AD user.
Any ideas?

Not for me. Some things mount others do not. Plus you can't use links from e-mails or save to from applications. It makes most applications completely unuse-able for me. It looks like I'm going to have to run almost everything over Parallels. Kind of of lame that Mac can't get this fixed.

  • Is it possible to move or merge my local user account with an Active Directory account?

    10.7.2 update now allows me to authenticate against AD, and I have a shiny new account on my mac.  Is there any way to merge my local and AD accounts?  Or link my local account to my AD account? Can I change the home directory of the AD account to point to my local account folder?

    Gary,
    Performance would be absolutely horrible if you hung a USB drive off an AEBS and used that as your home directory, wirelessly. You're going to be getting no more than about 10 MB/sec, or roughly 1/5 the speed (in the IDEAL case -- practically it's worse than that) of your current setup.
    If you want to access the same email from multiple Macs, you should consider using IMAP. .Mac can do this -- and you can have up to 4 GB on the server, if you pay for it. Default is up to 1 GB, if you shrink your iDisk space to nothing.
    Another alternative if you want to share something centrally is to use OS X Server and Portable Home Directories. This is pretty complicated for the home user, though, and requires OS X Server (minimum $499), a machine to run it on, and some good knowledge of Open Directory and AFP services. It works quite well for corporate clients though.
    Otherwise, synching stuff across multiple machines may work. But don't even think about moving your whole home directory to a central network mounted drive, especially something as slow as a USB drive on an AEBS over wireless.

  • 'Public' Active Directory account no longer works w/Tiger?

    We have approx 20 public Macs that all log onto our Windows 2003 server using the same Active Directory account - 'Public'
    This has worked fine until Tiger - Now when we attempt to log onto one of our network drives with this account name I'm told by a pop-up window that the account is either disabled or I've put the password in incorrectly.
    Can anyone confirm if 'Public' cannot be used by a user on Tiger? Is it exclusively for the OS?

    Ran accross this in help file...
    "Mac OS X 10.3 or later: "Invalid user name and password combination" Message When Using Active Directory
    When binding a Mac OS X client computer to Active Directory, the account entered is not validated (resolved) at that time. It is used as entered. If entered incorrectly, you will see an alert message later.
    Symptom
    After configuring the Active Directory Directory Access plug-in, an alert message appears at the client computer that says "invalid user name and password combination."
    Products affected
    Mac OS X 10.3 or later
    Solution
    This happens when an incorrect name and/or password is entered, including a username entered with incorrect syntax.
    The user's login name (also known as "PrincipalName") is required when binding a computer to Active Directory.
    The user can also use the short part of the login name (such as "virginia"). The typical syntax of a login name is similar to "[email protected]".
    Note: If the user's login name has been modified from the default "[email protected]", then the default login name must be used. The modified login name (such as "[email protected]") cannot be used."

  • Active Directory account lockout from OS X Server

    I'm looking for assistance in tracking down why our 10.9 Mac server is constantly trying to use my Active Directory account. I changed my password a week ago and have been getting locked out constantly, and it appears the lockouts are coming from invalid password attempts from this OS X server. However, I don't know why the server would be using my AD credentials since I login to the Mac with an admin account and not my own. The only thing I can think of that may have used my AD credentials is connecting to a network file share at some point in the past, but I wouldn't have saved the credentials and it shouldn't be auto-mapping the share. The Mac itself is bound to Active Directory too.
    I checked the Login Items and there is nothing there. I also reset the keychain to defaults and that didn't help. Does anyone else have any ideas for me to try to narrow down what the OS X server may be trying to use my credentials for?

    So I'm going to guess I'm the only one that's ever had this issue...
    Further digging with Wireshark shows that the OS X server is indeed issuing bind requests using my old AD account credentials multiple times per minute. I tried unbinding and rebinding, but that didn't help. The requests also start right away after a reboot, so whatever is using my credentials is doing so prior to any user logins on the server. Now I'm trying to track down what is actually issuing these requests on the server
    In a span of a few seconds the machine issues three bind requests. The first is
    bindRequest (1) "[email protected]" simple
    Followed by
    bindRequest (1) "<ROOT>" sasl
    then
    bindRequest (2) "<ROOT>" sasl
    Anyone have an idea for me as to how to track down where my user account comes into play? It wasn't used to bind the machine to AD, I didn't see it anywhere in the keychain, and I only have a few apps running on the server, none of which use AD authentication or would request binding.

  • How to avoid duplicate DN exception when creating Active Directory Account

    I am using OIM 9.1.0.2 to provision Active Directory accounts.
    I run into issues when the DN of the user to be created already exists and I would like to know if anyone has some logic I can use to generate a different DN for new user by adding a number or something like that to the DN
    Here is an example.
    User 1 exists already and their DN: cn=john smith, cn=users, dc=company,dc=org
    New user joins the company and his name is also john smith and he has no middle name: so system attempts to create his account as cn=john smith, cn=users, dc=company,dc=org
    how can I accomplish this by making the account say cn=john smith_1, cn=users, dc=company,dc=org

    There are two different questions:
    1. How to generate a sequence of candidates for the name attribute
    2. How to check if a record with the given name candidate already exists in the Active Directory, and hence try the next candidate from the sequence.
    The answer for the first part is usually defined by the policy existing in your organization, in the simplest case you can append sequential integer numbers to the end of the original name.
    The answer for the second question is not so simple if you use are provisioning with MSAD connector.
    There are two places you can put the check:
    -- in the pre-populate adapter for the UD_ADUSER_COMMONNAME field
    -- in the adpADCSCREATEUSER event handler, which is responsible for new AD user record creation.
    Both cases need some coding, since you have to obtain the AD connection and search AD for matching records.
    Pros & cons
    Placing check code in the pre-populate adapter:
    Pros:
    the result is visible in the form, administrator can change the pre-calculated value if he wishes
    Cons:
    you need to have all access to connection parameters, and establish one extra connection
    this is not the way OIM is supposed to work :-(
    Placing check code in the AD user creation task:
    Pros:
    you have all access to connection parameters, and open a connection here anyway
    Cons:
    the result is not present in the form, so no way for manual interaction by administrator here
    BTW: this problem is not only related to DN generation, some other AD attributes (e.g. sAMAccountName, mailNickName, userPrincipalName, mail) should be unique in the AD domain scope.

  • ActiveSync mail/contacts/calendars removed after Active Directory account is locked out?

    Hey guys,
    Wondering if anybody has seen an issue like this.  This is a new Exchange 2010 deployment (8+ CAS servers) and the devices are all iPhones/iPads running the latest version of iOS (7.1.2).  The CAS servers are behind a load-balancer.
    Basically when a users' Active Directory account is Locked in AD (either manually or by entering the wrong password) their ActiveSync Contacts, Calendars and all Mail folders (except the Inbox strangely!) will be removed from the iOS device within a few hours.  So an account might get locked out at say 6pm, if left locked out by the next morning the ActiveSync account will still be setup on the device as normal, but everything is gone except the mail in the Inbox.  If a user has an iPad and iPhone both will be blanked.
    The behaviour is similar to what is documented here - iOS: How to mitigate a full sync or reload of Exchange account data - however the Exchange servers are not issuing HTTP500 errors as we have captured logging during the window where the device blanks itself.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    which event ids are shown in the event viewer from the DCs? Or maybe locally also some errors are locked that give some more details.
    If this happens it sounds personally for me that Java is the problem. Have you already opened a call at

  • Creating Active Directory Accounts for vSphere 5.1 Services

    To set up the management pieces of vSphere, I need to have an account or accounts created in Active Directory.  I need to determine how many to create and what permissions they need.
    In Single Sign on Server, I need to choose an account that vCenter server will use when it connects to SSO.  I can use the default admin@system-domain.  Or I can add an account that is configured in Active Directory.  Or, I can also use an active directory group instead of an individual user.  What is the best way to do this and if I use an AD account, what permissions does it need at the domain level and at the local level on the Single Sign on Server?  (I'm using multisite mode, so I can't use local accounts)
    In SQL Server, I need to choose an account to use for the SQL server service.  Should this account be an active directory account or a local user account?  If so, what permissions should be assigned to the account in Active Directory and what permissions should be assigned to it on the local machine?  What AD group, if any should it be a part of?  What local permissions does it need?
    In vCenter Server, I need to choose an account to run the "vCenter Server Service" in.  Is it best to use the default "system" account or to use an account from Active Directory, or a local account?
    I'm trying to get a big picture of an AD account/group strategy to use that covers the main management pieces of vSphere - vCenter Server, Single Sign on, Inventory Service, Web Client Services.
    For example, create one group called "vSphere Services", then create separate accounts for each management piece, and assign them specific permissions on specific systems.  Or create separate groups for each management piece and assign permissions to the groups.  Is it better to consolidate some of these user names or split them out?  Any experiences / suggestions welcome.  Thanks.

    Hello,
    For general services I use a service specific account within AD. This was before SSO and I use the same after SSO. SSO is used by only two services that I know about at the moment (Inventory Service and perhaps vCloud). However, there are many other service accounts that should be created. You want one account per service and I use AD for this, this way I can create a service account group and give it the appropriate roles and privileges. FOr example I have service accounts for:
    VMware View
    XenDesktop
    vCops
    HPSIM
    Solarwinds
    VMTurbo
    NetApp
    etc.
    One service, one service account, each with either a general role or custom role depending on access requirements to vCenter.
    For SSO, I to am waiting on general information, but I set mine up fairly basically to cover only those resources that make use of SSO. Since the vast majority of items do not use SSO, the rule still applies.  Once SSO is supported by more than one or two tools, you still need to maintain that separation.
    So I say yes, tie SSO to AD and do everything in one place, unfortunately, that is not very clear, or at least was not to me and these SSO issues are either beng fixed, documented, or both.

  • I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

    I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

    Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
    Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
    On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
    Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
    Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
    Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
    Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
    Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
    Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
    After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

  • Powershell Active Directory Account Expiration Script

  • Portal Integration with Microsoft Active Directory

    We are working on a project to integrate Oracle9iAS Portal with Microsoft Active Directory. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this and hence suggestions. Particularly, I'm wondering if its possible and how to use Active Directory to manage the Portal user accounts and group relationships?

    Please note that we finally got this working. For Active Directories sake, I would suggest using userPrincipalName or sAMAccountName as the Unique Attribute. Also, note that Active Directory uses OUs for organization, not CNs, so the search base should be either just the DN of the domain or an OU in the domain. Also, be sure to specify the full DN of the Bind DN as in CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DN=domain,DN=com

  • Time Machine Backup using Active Directory account

    I have two macbook pros (running 10.6.4) using Active Directory accounts and I am trying to backup them up to an Active Directory integrated XServe (running 10.6.4) with a shared Time Machine backup point. I open Time Machine preferences, select the disk, entering username and password, and it starts trying to make the backup disk available. However, it quits and gives me the following error - the network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username and password. The username and password are correct. I have tried three different accounts and they all produce this error.

    This happened to an issue AFP. I had AFP authentication set to use Kerberos. I changed it to use "Any Method" and it is working properly.

    Help me!!!
    AT&T are unlock my phone, official!!!

    1) Check your iTunes account.
    2) you have to be at your computer. Apple is very smart, the place you put your I'd or password is not near data base.
    3) make sure your ID and Password is correct. When type on the phone, if you don't check you might press the wrong key some time cases where people have long Neil.
    4) go to apple website n reset the I'd or password.
