Can admin server, but not network machines?

hopefully this is something with an easy solution. I have a user that should have full admin rights, but doesn't seem to.
* User can log on/administer the server via Screen Sharing or directly from console.
* User is in the Administrators and Open Directory Administrators group.
* When the user logs on from a client machine that is OD-attached, he can't authenticate to make changes on that machine. (eg to install a piece of software)
I'm not sure why he can't authenticate on the network machine. Do I need to make a local admin account on each of the client machines? Shouldn't a user given server admin privs be allowed to make changes on an OS X client machine? I've been pouring over the docs and the peachpit book that I have to no avail.
Anybody?

I'm just an idiot sometimes. I forgot to go in and check "Allow user to administer this computer." I thought I had to go digging in Workgroup Manager somewhere. D'oh!

  • I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

    I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

    I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
    In the title you state.
    From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
    Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
    In the first post you state,
    I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
    Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
    But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
    I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
    And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
    1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
    2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
    There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
    http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
    The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
    The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
    The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
    Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
    IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
    Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

    When I set up my desktop, I can find some of the pictures. Where do They hide, and what shall I do.
    Have made back up, but unfortunately a little too late. What to do?
    MacBook Pro 15 "late 2008, Processor 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, Software Mac OS X 10.7.4 Lion (11E53).

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

    I've reset the password a few times and know I am using the correct one. I get the same error on both my iPad and iPhone. Both see the network but maybe there is a problem with the router. I've also reset that a few times with no luck. Thank you.

  • What can I do when web pages with scripting display ok from a server but not locally?

    I have html and java script in the same folder path, both on a server and locally. The pages display correctly when accessed from the server, but not when accessed locally. Is there a change I can make to Firefox to solve this problem?

    An address starting with c: wouldn't be any kind of domain name. C: is the drive lettering system DOS and and later uses. By default, A: and B: are reserved for your first and second floppy disk drive. All hard drives are then named C: through Z:, if you have that many. C: is normally your startup disk.
    Anyway, their PDF file is incorrectly linked to a file directly on the C: drive of someone's computer. It's not going to work no matter what you do.

  • I changed my e-mail address a few months ago everything was ok. Starting monday my outgoing mail can not be sent, it says the server rejected my e-mail address. Why ? I can receive mail but not send it

             My outgoing mail gets rejected. I can get mail but not send it.It was working for about 6 months.

    If the smtp is rejecting your password you should go in.
    Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
    Select your Yahoo account in the sidebar on the left.
    In account information tab you will see : " Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) "
    Click on it and choose edit SMTP server list.
    Select Yahoo and click on the advanced tab.
    Now fill your new Yahoo password.
    Hope it's help.

    Your mail server doesn't like the sender's address for some reason, perhaps because his mail server has been blacklisted for spamming.

  • Zimbra Server - can receive email but not send

    Can anyone tell me what settings need to be changed to make the connection for outgoing email?

    I see this one uses Port 465, which is different than the last one I checked.

  • BEA-141151 The admin server could not be reached at ...

    I have been at this for 3 days now... I created a new ManagedServer, but I'm not able to make it connect to the Admin server.
    The Admin server is running and listening on port 5306. I can connect to the Admin Console (web).
    I can also connect to the Admin server via WLST, using this command: connect('operator','operator01','t3://localhost:5306')
    However, when I try to run the managed server from a script, it does not see the Admin server. This is the command I run:
    java -Dweblogic.Name=ManSer1 -Dweblogic.management.server=t3://localhost:5306 -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<path to my domain> weblogic.Server
    This is the error I get:
    <BEA-141151> <The admin server could not be reached at http://localhost:5306.>
    I believe it's trying to connect using "http", because I've never actually connected in the past. Here is a website explaining this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/e13749/weblogicserver.htm#i1031832
    Note: Regardless of which protocol you specify, the initial download of a Managed Server's configuration is over HTTP or HTTPS. After the RMI subsystem initializes, the server instance can use the T3 or T3S protocol.
    I'm not sure what else to try... Firewalls are not in play, since this is traffic moving around on the local machine. I'm running on SunOS. Weblogic is version 9.2 MP3.
    Appreciate any help.

    Is the NodeManager , AdminServer running ?The NodeManager is not running. Is it required?

  • How to start the admin server on another WLS machine?

    Hi,
              I have a weblogic cluster with 2 weblogic machines: machineA and machineB.
              The cluster contains 4 managed servers (2 on each WLS machine)
              The admin server runs on machineA (standalone).
              I have a file backup of the domain directory on machineA.
              Suppose machineA crashes.
              How can I start the admin server on machineB?
              Kind regards,
              Pieter

    Thanks for your reply,
              I know how to (re)start the admin server on machineA. But in this case I want to start the admin server on machineB.
              The documentation says:
              Restarting an Administration Server on Another Machine
              If a machine crash prevents you from restarting the Administration Server on the same machine, you can recover management of the running Managed Servers as follows:
              Install the WebLogic Server software on the new administration machine (if this has not already been done).
              Make your application files available to the new Administration Server by copying them from backups or by using a shared disk. Your application files should be available in the same relative location on the new file system as on the file system of the original Administration Server.
              Make your configuration and security data available to the new administration machine by copying them from backups or by using a shared disk. For more information, refer to Directory and File Backups for Failure Recovery.
              Restart the Administration Server on the new machine.
              Simply starting the admin server on the other machine does not work because it tries to start the admin server on the ip address of the old machine.

  • I can access Google, but not Gmail.

    Hi guys. I've been having trouble with my internet connection for as long as I've had my Mac (one year). For the longest time, I've repeatedly had to click the icon for Airport and then turn it off and back on again to recover my connection to Google Gmail and Google docs. These are the first sites to disappear, later I have trouble accessing other sites, this is corrected by turing off and then on Airport. But that is very frustrating, and I often have to do it over and over again. Also, I'm puzzled by the fact that my Skype connection is rarely bothered when access to others sites drops.
    I've been reading as much as I can find and trying the airport utility. Clearly I am stupid because things went from bad to worse. Now I can access Google, but not Gmail. I can access most parts of Apple.com, but when I tried to purchase the upgrade to OS 10.6, I couldn't view the page images. I found the same problem on a few other sites. When I tried to access Linkedin, I could get to the login page, but no further.
    In each case, I get the usual message: Safari can’t open the page “https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false& continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fhl%3Den%26tab%3Dwm%26ui%3Dhtml %26zy%3Dl&bsv=1eic6yu9oa4y3&scc=1&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2&hl=en” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.google.com”.
    I've tried resetting Airport back to the factory settings. Now all I get is the blinking yellow light - I'm not sure what that means.
    I'm now connected via hardwire, but access is limited to very few sites, such as this one and Google. I can search google, but I can't access gmail. I can access everything on my windows computer through the same wired network.

    I am having this same problem, but it's not related to parental controls. I have to keep turning the airport on and off as well. Here (http://www.mac-help.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9802) is a post I made over at mac-help.. still waiting for a reply.
    What I've noticed is, the DNS is resolving correctly, but I cannot access certain sites. Regardless, I've tried Open DNS servers and still get the same result. It's not a specific browser. Certain sites go down in a few minutes after visiting them. Some go down faster than others. And others don't go down at all. Sites I've had problems with are Apple.com (to make this post I've had to turn the airport on and off continually), Gmail.com, Google.com, while Google.ca works fine.
    A solution would be great..

  • I can receive iMessage but not send from my ipad.  The send button is grayed out

    The send button in IMessage is grayed out.  I can receive messages but not send them.

    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
    Who are you using as your internet service provider at the time?
    Does your ntlworld email account have an authenticated SMTP server.
    I believe Yahoo does for a Yahoo account.
