AD user with no home directory does not work correctly

Hey guys:
I just tried to login as a standard AD user and was able to login, but the finder is having issues.  The Finder seems to reset itself and the dock would also reset, plus the top menu bar is not present, anyone else with this issue?  Also I login as my account with admin rights and have no problem, I am thinking about trashing the finder prefs and dock prefs and see what happens then, will post back if I find anything.

We're suddenly getting the same issue here.
A MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) installed a few months ago has no issue when setting up new users.
The MacBook Pro (OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2) which arrived this week is a different matter altogether!
Once it joined the domain every attempt to log in as a network user has failed. The following ticked options work on our Lion machines:-
Create mobile account at login
Require confirmation before creating a mobile account
Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location
Default user shell: /bin/bash
However, the Mountain Lion machine is having none of it. Network users get no finder bar across the top, the Finder icon will bounce every so often as though it's tried, and failed, to load.
Terminal states "no home directory"
The only way to get these working is to turn off the "Create mobile account" ones, then manually create an account once the user logs in (with a local administrator on hand to elevate when prompted).

  • Converting .docx with chart to .pdf does not work correctly

    I have a docx file with an excel chart and a hyperlink in it. The chart is a line chart with data makers on the lines. One set of data markers are circles. The chart is simply copied from excel and pasted into word. I am using word and excel 2007 and adobe acrobat 8 standard on windows XP SP2. all software is fully updated.
    When I convert this doxc file to pdf, the circle data markers from the chart are greatly enlarged and obscure the text and chart. The hyperlink works fine. This occurs when I use the acrobat plug-in within word to create a "quick and simple" pdf. this also occurs when I open adobe and choose create pdf from file. I cannot use the word plug-in to create a "fully functional" pdf. This feature simply does not work.
    When I convert the file to a pdf using the adobe printer/distiller, the circle data markers on the chart are fine, but the hyperlink no longer functions.
    I can copy the chart from excel and paste it into powerpoint and publisher and the conversion to pdf works fine. i can also create a pdf of the chart from excel to pdf without problems, so it appears to be a word to pdf issue.

    Thanks Bill
    Perhaps I was not clear enough though. I am not really concerned with the hyperlinks.
    The main problem is the excel chart. When I use PDF Maker the circle data markers from the chart are greatly enlarged and obscure the text and chart. The only way to make the chart look normal is to use the distiller, which kills the hyperlinks. I would rather use PDF Maker, keep the functionality of the hyperlinks, and have the excel chart look normal. The PDF Maker distorts the circle data markers on the chart and makes the page unreadable. That is what I need to fix.
    I realize the simple solution is to use something other that circles for data makers, but I have a lot of charts and don't want to spend the time remaking them all.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • Home Sharing does not work. It's time for Apple to act.

    My specific question: Does anyone from Apple read these discussions *and* use the information to fix iTunes?
    My issue (and I've given up on this): Home Sharing does not work and it needs to be fixed. I use a Windows 7 based PC and can successfully access my iTunes library from my iPad, meaning all network requirements are met. However many artists and albums do not appear. I know this is not about the tagging/data for the albums.
    I found recommendations in these forums regarding the iTunes database (.itl), that this is a sign that the database is corrupted, and how to re-create it from the xml version. I used this technique and it did fix the problem - all albums and artists appeared. But within a day or so, they disappear again, meaning the .itl file is corrupted again and has to be re-created again. Also - if the .itl file is corrupted, then why does everything appear fine in iTunes? Somewhere, somehow the data are good enough to make iTunes work properly.
    Bottom line: If you can't get the basics right, then Home Sharing does not work. Some very helpful forum commenters said it could have something to do with the anti-virus software, but that is just passing the buck.  I should not have to know how to do all this. I should be able to turn on Home Sharing and enjoy the music from my iPads, iPhone, etc. Imagine you have to know how fuel injection works and be able to fix it every two days just to use your car - you should be able to turn the key and drive.
    There are more problems - I won't even get into how the album won't display properly on the iPad and other annoyances.
    Apple? Are you listening? Home Sharing does not work. It is the opposite of the image projected of easy-to-use, people-friendly products.
    I suggest you either make it work or turn off the feature.
    Joe

    If your database is constantly becoming corrupt, you have a problem on your computer, it is nothing to do with homesharing. The corrupt database does not affect iTunes because that uses another file. It's not passing the buck, by considering whether anti-virus software might be causing this, this is the sort of stuff anti-virus software does (although I'm not saying that's what it is in your case-I don't know at this stage), you can't hold Apple accountable for badly written software that you have put on your computer yourself.
    If you can't correctly identify what is causing your problem, you are never going to fix it.

    Hi,
    It might be the graphic driver not compitable with the graphic device.  Has there been a change to the graphic driver?
    One thing you can try is to uninstall graphic driver and download the latest from Windows Update (if you haven't tried this).  Here are the possible steps:
    1.  Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager,  uninstall the graphic card driver by right clicking and select "uninstall".  Make sure the option "Delete the driver software for this device" is selected.
    2.  Reboot the system.
    3.  Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Windows Update, click on "Optional updates" and find the driver for g210 and do the update.
    I work on behalf o HP.

  • My home button does not work. why?

    What is wrong with THE iPad Home button.  Only a couple of months old. Moderate use at most and the Home button does not work at all.  Is this easily sorted out or should the iPad be replaced?

    Bring it to a Store. Hardware problems are best sorted out there. Until then use multi-touch-gestures. HOpe this helps.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
    I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
    Please advise.
    Environment: Windows 7 x64, HP TouchSmart tx2-1020us Notebook

    <edited by host>

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.
