Authentication popups after computer name changed to computer record name

Hi
I'm not sure if anyone else is facing this issue, but I have been unable to find anything in the forums.
I have setup a number of client machines on Lion Server, all using 10.7.4. I used WGM and Remote Desktop to make some changes and deploy software
Since then, I have been getting the following authentication popup on all client machines (twice after login, and then every 30 mins or so afterwards):
Mac OS S wants to make changes. Type an administrator's name and password to allow this.
The changes made prior to this happening were:
- Overplay VPN installed (using RD pkg install)
- Adobe CS 5.5 installed (using Adobe Enterprise Deployment Tool and RD package install)
- Evernote installed (using RD copy)
- Set computer name to computer record name (From WGM > Computer Groups > Preferences > Options)
I have now removed all the installed software from one machine, and log in as administrator, unbind the machine, rename the computer manually to the record name, rebind the computer.
As far as I can see, I have reverted all changes one at a time, and am still receiving the admin password requests when logged in as a network user.
The only machine that seems to be ok, is the one where the name change to computer record name was unsuccessful.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this issue?
Thanks
Suraj

Issue resolved. It turns out none of my changes caused the issue as much as Google Chrome Autoupdates. The new version constantly checks for updates which makes clients on Lion Server go haywire. Solution to turn off auto-updating:
Open a Terminal window:
defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 0
Relaunch Chrome.

How to stop the computer from changing its local network name when waking up from sleep mode

How do I prevent a mac mini from changing its' network name automatically when it wakes up from sleep mode... It will wake up and display a warning that the network name is already in use and it changes its name to (n+1) name with number after it... I know that there is no other device with that name because the only other things on the network are 2 hard drives (one being used for time capsule) and a printer..
This is very annoying and needs to be fixed.... don't tell me to make the computer never sleep because that defeats the power savings settings under power management.

Go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and delete your network from the Preferred Networks box. Reenter your network information. Make sure that AirPort is the topmost listed interface when you Show Port Configurations. Apply the changes and Restart. Does it work now?

GMS Authentication source after GW IP changed

Hey,
I've recently replaced the GroupWise server, as such the IP has changed.
I went into the Intellisync Admin console and found the option to change the server IP of GW.
I then found the profile options to change the IP also. For some reason the Authentication source is still listing the old ip (GroupWise 10.1.1.12).
For the life of me I can't find where I can either edit, add or remove this authentication source....As a work around I've changed a few to use Intellisync for Auth, but this would be a pain to do for all users.
I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Are you accessing the PO as a trusted app? If so you might delete the old
trusted app key and create a new one. That profile under wireless email
should let you change the source IP to your GW system, now it's not taking,
I have no clue.
Also check your SOAP thread on the PO win the http monitor, I found out the
hard way that the GMS loves to grab all the threads keeping them in non-idle
state and make no connection to the server. I don't know the fix for that
as I am working on this problem right now and trying to decide to call
Novell or get a root canal since both are very painful.
I have all but given up on GMS since it won't play nice with GroupWise.

Server name changed but old server name reflecting

Hi Experts,
Issue is In the SQL server name is changed.
When the user is logging on SAP old server name is appearing and in SAP 8.8 there is no option of change like in SAP 2005B and 2007B so no database is appearing on screen.
What should be done in such condition.
Thanks & Regards -
Mona.

In 8.8 you need to add and maintain servers through the license manager of the server tools. Open license manager settings and click the button on the bottom left (Configure Security). Enter your B1 site users details and then in the next screen you can define an additional server as well as remove the old one; I had the exact same issue a few days ago!

Sequence name changing to the CLIP name? BUG FIXED!

FCP 7.0.1 fixes quite a few things, including that annoying bug where the sequence name kept changing when you added new clips to it.

Why do re-named images changed back to original name after external editing

I batched re-named a number of images, but when i took one of the renamed images into PS by via the Aperture external editor the retouched file reverted to its original name when it came back into Aperture..... Why is this so? eg Original name was "STE_2200" then i added "2009" to all files to make this files new name "STE_22002009" but when it came back from PS via external editor it was "STE_2200" again. Why might this happen?

The above answer is correct. Renaming in Aperture after import only changes Aperture's VERSION NAME. The FILE NAME on your hard drive remains unchanged. Officially you can rename file names on import or export, but you can also do it when just moving the photos. For instance, from Managed to Referenced or from one managed location to another managed location, etc. I can give more details if anyone likes.

Contact names change to facebook names

As the tite suggests, my contact names change to their facebook names, I have to contiunessly change certian names back, namely 'mum', I'd much rather call my mother that than her real name.
How do I stop the contacts from reverting to facebook names ever few hours?

If you go to Settings - Facebook you have an option to turn off Contacts.
All it does is not add your Facebook friends to your contacts on your phone, which theoretically should solve your problem of the names being changed.
Sorry the solution isn't more precise to your problem but it should at least work as a temporary fix

Ping cannot post a profile name other than iTunes account name

Ping won't allow a name change to a profile name unless you change the name associated with your iTunes account. If you change it to something like "MusicLover !" (it requires a first and last name, hence the !)' this changes your account info for Mr. MusicLover !
It should allow an alias of some sort other than the credit card name. For example, some kid that wants a profile, but uses his mom's credit card for the account because he doesn't have one, etc.

I find this very confusing. When you "Turn On Ping" it says:
"The name you enter is also the name associated with your account's billing information. Any previous reviews that you have written with a nickname will now display the name you list here instead of that nickname. To remove any reviews you have written from the iTunes Store, go to your account and click Manage Reviews."
Huh?
It gives you the option to change values in the Name: and Last Name: fields. So if you change first name to "Mr." and last name to "MusicLover", then what would happen to your store account?
If you were previously using "blahblah" as your review nickname, and did that, would it change all your reviews to "Mr. MusicLover"?
This needs a good deal of clarification.

EM not working Properly after computer name change

Hi Friends,
i hav 10gr2 DB, everything was fine.
last week my computer name changed, and EM stops to work.
so i reconfigure EM through command line.
after that EM started, but when go to 'Performance' or any other tab in browser.
its asks for login and shows 'oldcomputername:orcl:1521' in connection string.
so whats other things , i hav to change?
Thanks

Search every file under $ORACLE_BASE for the old name.
Assuming *NIX use find and grep.
Why do people rename servers? A name is a name is a name. All it ever does is cause problems.

Computer name changes after security update

We installed the latest security update for OS X 10.5.8 and after installation the computer name was automatically changed. It was "Name (2)". After the update it magically became "Name (3)". It becomes very confusing because we share this computer's printer with a Macbook and it can't find the shared printer after this happens. Is this normal? It has happened after two security updates.

This is how it SHOULD be. When you try to rename a Mac in a LAN to a Computer Name which is already given to another Mac in the LAN, Mac OS X will suggest to add a number to the name you tried. When you rename the Mac to this Computer Name before you connect to the LAN Mac OS X will add the number automatically.
But the problem this thread is about (imho) is that Macs with UNIQUE Computer Names in the LAN, unexpectedly add a number, when there is for sure no other computer with that exact name in the LAN.
I can witness this behavior round about two to three times in a month in our network of over one hundred Macs.
By the way: Not only the Computer Name will change but the Local Hostname too.
Computer Name: "Example Name" -> "Example Name (2)"
Local Hostname: "Example-Name.local" -> "Example-Name-2.local"
This looks more like a bug in the system than an operating error.
Any suggestions anyone?

My password only works to log into the computer, but not to make admin changes, even though I am the admin account on the computer. This happened after I tried to change the computer's name. Is there any way to fix this?

Bought my laptop off my room mate and he had master reset it to default. This still left his name as the computer name and I wanted to change that. Tried to rename it under the advanced changes section, and now it isn't recognizing my password for anything more than logging in. I can't unlock the settings to make further changes (or change it back). I have had my room mate try all of his old passwords and usernames, to no avail. Is there a way to reset this? It's also not letting me wipe the drive and start fresh again because, alas, I don't have access without the password. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
