AD Login Freezes

I'm hoping this question gets better results than a previous thread I was looking into.
We have an iMac running OS X 10.7.3, 3.1 GHz Intel i3, and are having an issue with one specific AD account getting logged into it.  Every other AD account we've tried works fine, but this particular one will have the keychain warning message pop-up, then the cursor will transform into the so called "beach-ball-of-doom".
Anyone ever seen this and, if so, how can I resolve this, or at least remove the profile altogether so that we can attempt to rebuild it on the machine?
Thanks!

I'm going to answer my own question, since one of the techs here more familiar with Macs than I am assisted me.
The problem was that, since we have these machines set up to our AD domain, we found out that this specific AD user had a duplicate account (same display name, different login name).  We ended up removing both accounts, and recreating it, and got it working now.

  • Gnome 3.2 Login Freezes

    I'm running Gnome 3.2 on Arch with an ATI video card (using the open source driver.) When I start the computer it will make it to the GDM login screen. When I click on my user name sometimes the name disappears and the text box for the password appears (as it should.) Frequently, however, the user name will disappear and no password box will show up. At this point, GDM seems completely unresponsive. My only solution right now is to reboot and hope it works. Any ideas?

    I had the same problem. And I found that I GDM logins only if I'm unplugged. Whenever I try to log in while I'm plugged to the AC, GDM freezes.
    Best of luck guys
    EDIT: I have the open source for the ATI too (Mine is a Mobility Radeon HD 4250)

  • Database login freeze -----urgent

    Hi,
    I login to the database, sometimes it is OK, sometimes not. Now we have four database schema. Each database has this problem---when I login to the database, the screen freeze. Can anybody help me solve this problem ? Look forward to hearing from you.
    Thank you very much
    John

    we had the same problem, after trying just about everything the problem ended up being the "Deep Smart Power Down" option.
    To Disable Deep Smart Powerdown: Right Click My Computer Click Manage Click Device Manager Right Click the Intel Ethernet Adapter and select Properties Select the Advanced Tab Under the Deep Smart Powerdown option make sure the value is set to Disabled Click OK

  • Leopard 10.5.2 Upgrade To 10.5.4 Login Freeze

    As I could not find the problem or the "solution" to this anywhere, I wanted to post it to help others.
    We purchased a MacBook Pro 15" for our COO and I was tasked with connecting it to our Windows AD environment. Binding to the network worked well, but I was attempting to configure mapping of our network drives (yay for the automator ... that's not so automatic) and ran into the freeze that occurs when trying to change Login Items (BTW, turning off parental controls does NOT fix this). At this point, I checked for an OS upgrade and found that the current OS is 10.5.4 and the system is running 10.5.2, so I installed the new OS Version.
    After the OS Upgrade to 10.5.4 (which appeared to go fine) when I attempted to login with my domain information as I had previously done, the computer accepted the credentials, began processing and then froze with all of the buttons on the login box disabled. I could not abort the process so I powered down the computer.
    At this point, I re-booted and experienced the same issue again, so I re-booted into safe mode and the computer would not pass the blue screen and the power button would not work, so I removed the battery. When re-booting into normal mode, it accepted credentials without issue.
    Although I can't proove it (the error log was not helpful), my feeling is that this has to do with the combination of network binding and the Airbook connection. I had a lot of trouble configuring the airbook connection and even when it appears to connect, it has in fact connected to the DHCP of the wireless AP instead of the DHCP installed on the PDC. Make sure that you disable DHCP on a wireless AP if you are trying to use it to connect to a domain network.
    Moral of the story: Unbind a macbook before you upgrade the OS (or at least make sure your airbook connection works properly first!)
    BTW: I have yet to solve the freeze that occurs when you attempt to change login items, does anyone know if 10.5.4 will solve it?

    You might try downloading it from here...

    ...and install it manually.

  • Attempt to reset password at login freezes

    hello;
    i've now had two occasions when someone tried to login, but could not enter a correct password due to keyboard-layout issues.
    the login prompt then changes to request the admin password in order to reset the user's login and filevault password.
    if one enters the admin password the login process freezes. i've checked - the password is correct.
    1. is there a fix for this?
    2. how can one then kill the login process to avoid haveing to force a reboot?
    thanks.

    Sounds like a hosed installation. Best bet is to boot with the Snow Leopard install disc and reinstall. If successful, then try the update again.

  • Login Freeze HELp

    Hello guys,
    I've tried login in with my password and then all of a sudden it seem like the screen is frozen, It accepts the password but it doesn't log on anywhere, just freeze on the login page. all the options are grayed out.
    What do i do??

    Thats wierd,
    that just happened to me but I am now logged in! Alright, have you tried restarting? When this same thing happened to me, you can press the power button once and it will give you a list of options - shut down, restart, cancel, or sleep. That is a system preference thing, so you may not get the same thing. Anyway, if you do, press Shutdown. It may take a while so it did with me. Do not do anything until it completely shuts down. Restart. Log in. Have patience, I waited a little and then it logged in for me. If that doesnt work. Or you can not get the "shut down, restart, cancel, or sleep" window, hold down the power button for about 5 seconds. It will force the computer to shut down. Then, try loggin back in. Good luck,
    LAPTOPER

  • Tiger Login Freezing, Local and Roaming Profiles

    I'm having problems with the login screen. Both server and emac are using the newest 10.4.4 updates and users regardless of logging in to local accounts or accounts on the server are freezing after pressing the "Login" button on the login screen.
    generally speaking the user can login at least once per restart. the problem tends to occur if users logout and then attempt to login another user.
    wondering if anyone has seen this problem
    it only seems to happen with emacs (different gens) running 10.4
    imacs and other machines running the same system/image to not appear to suffer the problem.

    update:
    even updating to 10.4.6 which has become available since the problem first came about there have been no less instances of this happening.
    any help would be great.

  • Login freezes on iMac with Lion after screen sharing with another mac.

    I have an iMac 27" Late 2009 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7 upgraded with Lion 10.7 (11A511).  I have screen sharing enabled on this computer, and I accessed the computer with a 15" MacBook Pro also running Lion of the same version. The screen sharing work.  However, when I exited screen sharing on my MacBook, and attempt to login again on the iMac, the login is stuck after entering the password.
    Is anybody else have similar issues?

    I am having this problem as well. On a late 2009 MPB. I can login to the guest account with no problem and I can also create a new user, but I cant access any of my filevaulted files. This happened after Silverlight caused Safari and everything else to freeze and I had to hard reboot, It's almost like lion is trying to reopen those apps when logging back in and it can't. I reinstalled Lion and repaired disks and disk permissions from the recovery hd. Anyone else??

  • [Solved] Login freezing with busy mouse cursor and black screen.

    After installing some recent updates I have suddenly found a problem when starting the login manager for Cinnamon.
    After booting I am greeted with a black screen and a "busy" mouse cursor - like a stopwatch. I can't ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X.
    What fixes it is - if I ctrl-alt-F2 to a new console and kill -9 the Xorg process. This causes X to restart normally. I have to do this every time now
    I don't know if this is systemd related or what, but it only seemed to happen after the updates below.

    Thanks for your help.
    I don't know the details to be honest, but the title of your post basically describes my situation with GDM when I used accountsservice >0.6.25, so I figured it was worth a shot, since the symptoms were the same.
    Also, Cinnamon depends on accountsservice if I'm not mistaken, so it didn't seem unreasonable that the update broke Cinnamon too.
    I'm glad it works now. Let's hope a updated, working version of accountsservice is released soon.

  • Leopard AD bound but login freezes

    Hello everyone,
    We have Clean installed Leopard and successfully(according to the indicators) bound the system to AD. The problem we have is that when we try to logon using network credentials the login window grays out like it is trying to lon on but it just sits there. No beach ball, nothing. We have to manually restat the machine to login with a local account. Not sure what may be causing this. We used the same settings for AD that we used for Tiger and it worked great there but now we can't login correctly. Ideas?

    I've unjoined the iMac from the domain and re-joined it, after disabling the UNC path option and the 'any domain in the forest' option. Still doesn't work! Gives me the "system is unable to log you in at this time" error message and only lets local accounts log in. Here's what shows up in the console and perhaps a smarter person than I could tell me what in the devil is going on.

  • Windows 10 - LMI crashes on login

    When accessing a Windows 10 computer with the LMI client installed it freezes during the Windows login process (when you enter your password and click enter to get into your computer). I installed the LMI client on 2 different non-domain-joined Windows 10 laptops and the symptom is the same on both. I am accessing the Win10 computers from a Windows 7 computer using IE11. I have no login-freezing issues when accessing other Win7, Win8, 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 computers. This is exclusive to Windows 10. Also, all computers are using client v5224.

    I was able to resolve simply by completely uninstalling Logmein, rebooting, and reinstalling

  • Does Lion Recovery tool to reinstall OS X delete all your files?

    I don't know why Apple can't make this clear:  Does the reinstalling option in Recovery simply reinstall OS X over the old OS, or does it wipe the hard drive clean, including your media, documents iLife updates, etc? 
    Because my login freezes with the beach ball of death nearly every time I boot up, I've been hoping a reinstall would fix it, but I saw no option or information at all for what exactly happens when you do a reinstall, and didn't want to chance losing my files and settings. 

    I think that the installation via the Lion Recovery HD will work like a repair install--which, in the case of Lion, requires only running the Lion installer from within Lion, itself. I have done a repair install as an experiment, and, yes, there were no noticaeable changes in the original installation. Of course, if there had been an installation-related problem to fix, then the problem likely would have been fixed via the repair install.
    I mentioned above that I am going to do an experimental Lion re-install. I will be using the Lion Recovery Disc Assistant. I started the process, at my first opportunity a short while ago, but canceled the installation because the predicted installation time was over 5 hours--using gigabit ethernet. I plan to start again at bedtime tonight.
    FYI, the system I will be installing from is as follows. I created an ultra clean install of Lion on my internal drive using the Lion installer from an external drive. Thereafter, I installed all else "by hand." This process created a Lion Recovery HD on my internal. Then, I created a Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
    I will never use Time Machine. I think tha app can be too big a PIA especially with a laptop. In general, I don't like to lose as much control as Time Machine requires IMO. My general back up/recovery process/medium is cloning to and from a bootable external created with SuperDuper--which I update pretty frequently, in general, and backup with respect to data very frequently.
    So, after creating the ultra clean install noted above and creating the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, I cloned to my external to make make sure everything would likely reamain AOK with the Lion Recovery HD/Lion Recovery Disc Assistant over time, Then, I made sure that the Recovery Disk Assistant still apparently functioned properly after a cloning to my internal by starting up to it, etc.
    And, that is the point from which I began the aborted reinstall of Lion using the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant mentioned above. And, of course, this is the system I intend to reinstall Lion on at bedtime.
    Time will tell. If anyone wants to beat me to the punch, please feel free to jump right in. Hopefully, if you do so, then you will let me know what happens so I can cancel my experiment.  

  • Migration Assistant. extra User, double the files - only 10 GB left on HD

    I restored my system after a login "freeze", following an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard.  Apple help advised to use Migration Assistant to back up everything from Time Machine.  Now I have an extra user ID (as they said I would) but the file structure doubled!  This leaves me only 10GB on a 500GB drive - which I read is not good.  Do I wipe the drive and start over but instead restore files one by one, or do I delete all the files in the new user ID, or is there some other idea I should consider?  It appears there are dups of all the files from user to user, but I fear they are linked and deleting one will delete the other.  Help.

    Apple told me to go back to the originally supplied OS X (Leopard 10.5.x), then use the Snow L upgrade disc - is this really required ?
    Yes, because your machine came with 10.5, there is a free iLife suit on the 10.5 disks that is not on the 10.6.3 retail disks.
    BTW the 10.6.3 disks have the full 10.6 on it too, just no iLife. So you could have installed 10.6.3, Software Updated and installed another iLife if you needed it.  A option to keep in mind for the future if the 10.5 disk no longer boots.
    Last question ( for now;), what about apps I've downloaded (no disks)?
    You need to download new copies from original sources. Your basically rebuilding your machine from the ground up to be reliable. If you have licenses, just email the developer and tell them your TM drive got screwed up, you had to rebuild your machine from scratch and need a new license code.
    Programs need to be installed in most cases with the developers installer as they can place files in certain locations on your computer, including copy protection methods etc.
    Once you have your brand new pristine system, then clone that to a couple of new blank external drives, date them, leave one as original, the other you set to update by tweaking CCC's settings to clone/backup according to your preferences.
    Good Luck.

  • RV110W telnet problems

    I have Comcast Business internet, an SMC modem in "passthru" connected to the RV110W which in turn connects to my network. I have one server on the network that I want to telnet to. I have set-up port forwarding port 23 to 192.168.1.xx (server). On the internal LAN if I use a command prompt and telnet to the server, every thing is fine. If I try to access the server from a remote, It won't connect on port 23." could not open connection to the host on port 23". Where am I going wrong. I need the router because I have one static IP. On my old DSL connection everything was fine but I needed to switch because of mail server problems.

    I have just created my login, and the other logins worked fine earlier. Nothing has been changed on the machine that I am aware of and a comprimise is highly unlikely in this situation. All logins freeze at the same place on the telnet login. Would it be possible that I need to create the user with admin rights? If so, how?
    Also, The server is running a service of which I cannot break to shell ( chances are I just don't know how yet). Since I an in the application console, could that be a cause?
    Thank you
