Can't change home directory for standard users (admin is OK)

I'm can't relocate home directories for standard users.  Relocating works fine for admin users.
When a standard user logs in, they get a message (paraphased) saying "the home directory is not available.  If it is located on a server, the server might not be online".  If I change the standard user to admin, this message goes away, and everything is fine.
I created a standard user
moved the home directory using the terminal as root: mv UserName  /otherlocation/UserName
I then went into users and groups, other options and changed the home directory location.
Rebooted, then tried to log in as the standard users.
Next try - Deleted the standard user and created the same user with admin rights.  Followed the above steps and everything works fine.
I don't want this user to have admin rights on my system.  Any ideas

Hi,
the AFP is has always been switched on. As for the path I believe this to be correct. The path I am using is:
afp://musicserver/Users
I'm not at the server right now so I mat have got the afp and : and / in the wrong order here but they are correct on the server.
This however does not seem to put the a folder in the Users folder. Could it be something to do with my external hard drive? I am using a Mac Mini as our server (not ideal but fine for us, or at least was) this is booted from our external hard drive. This is the main system drive which is where the Users data is also stored. I have tried all possible paths I can thing of from replacing the 'musicserver' with the IP address. I have also tried adding the name of the drive to the path (System) but all does not work.
Are you able to suggest anything I have missed? Perhaps I'm doing the path wrong?
Thanks again
Chris

    How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
    also I want to change the Language and  date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

    Hi,
    Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
    select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
    Now, system will ask for new password to change.
    If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
    Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
    It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
    Here, Select tab: Logon Data
    There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
    Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
    For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.

  • Change home page for mobile user

    Is it possible to change safari home page for mobile user via script or locally? We have OD profile which is set to delete all data after logout.
    Also is it possible do automatic login for mobile user?
    thank you...

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to customize home page for different user.
    There are two methods to accomplish your requirement. You could
    create a webpart with code or a control the page that redirect to a new page based on the users or groups.
    Please refer to this article:

  • Single Student home directory for Multiple users

    Hi all,
    I'm currently working in an education environment and we have 4x labs of mac's. Currently, when students log in, their login info/permissions are pulled from AD and OD. When they login for the first time, it creates a local home directory with their username, so when they login subsequent times they still get all their saved movies, music and pictures. Nothing special.
    We are aiming to change over to a new system in which the students login with thier username/pass, but they all use the same local home directory called 'student' (which will actually be refreshing with the default-homedir-refresh script by Bombich). To compliment this, as they will not be able to use thier movies folder, we will have a seperate partition on the computer in which they save all thier work. Idealy, we would like the files that one user saves not to be accessable (deleted) by another student, but i'm not sure if this is possible even though they have logged in using different username/passwords, as they are all using the same directory. To add to this, the users will also have thier network space mounted on login (as its on a novell server, currently we mount it by specifying the address in WGM under preferences->login items, with Mount item with user's name and password checked).
    My questions are
    1) how do we get the students to use the single 'student' home directory?
    2) If we have a separate partition set up for them, will the files they create have the permissions assigned to the individual users or will they all be able to access each others file as they will use the single 'student' home directory.
    3) Will our method of mounting their Novell drive still work with the new system?

    I can't help asking: Why?
    Might help if we knew exactly what sort of issues you are trying to avoid, since you're moving away from what appears to be a perfectly functional setup

  • How can i change a password for network users?

    Good day. I have a problem with changing passwords on server Yosemite. As i understand there is no way to change password for the network users remotely. I mean, when for example someone will change his password and then will forgot it how can i change it? When i open a server manage program and go to the "Users" and than open a setting for the user - "Change Password..." is not clickable.

    Hi Dcp24,
    If you are having issues resetting a user's account password on your server, you may find the information in the following article helpful (article is aimed at Mavericks, but the steps should be similar in Yosemite):

  • Unable to create the portable home directory for this user

    This is driving me nuts!
    I have a network user who I can login to on any machine on the network. I want a PHD to be created on a laptop and eveytime I answer 'yes' to 'create PHD for this user' I get the "unable to create the PHD for this user" message.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I fixed this by unbinding the laptop from the od server as I had used this user previously for PHD's on this machine. Setting up the machine to bind to OD again and all is well.

  • Can't change home directory location on 10.6.8 server

    After setting up 10.6.8 server. We want the location of the home dir to be in a sub folder in the User folder on the servers HD. The problem is any shared folder we set up the client computers get the message that the home dir can not be found. The only way we have been able to make this work is by letting the home dir to reside in the Users folder. Why can I not make it any shared folder anywhere?

    In your client Network preference pane you should set as DNS record the IP address of your server. Then restart the client machine. I don't know if this is a standard solution, but for me it fixes the problem.

  • How can I change the colour for standard captions?

    Hi,
    I work with Captivate 6. I want to change the background colour for the standard captions (hint/failure) etc. When I go the style manager, I can select a Bitmap with the colour I'd like to use, but Captivate doesn't display the colour. The caption is now displayed transparent?!?
    Hope someone can help me, thanks!
    Best regards

    If you want to change the default caption style in a new project (and in that project alone), create the new project and change the default caption style or clone the default caption style and set it as default. Already created captions can be forced to take on the new default style, using the Properties panel.
    If you want to change the default styles for several future projects, use the Object Style Manager before opening or creating a new project.

  • How can I change Aperture permissions for new user account

    I migrated my old user account (Ezra) to my new Mac mini from my old MBP laptop, but it would not allow me to keep the same name, (Ezra) so I picked a new one (Karyn). The problem is that now I can't access any of my other Aperture Libraries on my external storage array (Drobo) due to permissions errors. What is the best course of action to get back to working with Aperture? Is there a way to change an existing user account name to match what it used to be? I want the (Ezra) account from the Mac mini to eventually migrate to a freshly purchased Macbook Air later, then I could delete it from the Mac mini to rid the problem of duplicate user account names.

    Sounds like when you installed the new system you created a user account on it and then used migration assistant to copy over the files from the old system,. IS this correct?
    If so you will have other problems down the road with other applications also. The best thing to so if you still have the old system and have not done to much work on the new system  is to redo the install and use setup assistant. This way your old account will be brought over to the new system and you will not have permissions problems.
    You can try one thing. Do a Get Info on the Drobo Drive and see if at the bottom of the Info window you see this:
    If that is there for the drive (and I don;t know if the Drobo will have this option) you can select the box and you might be able to get at your libraries.
    As I wrote however, even of you fix this problem there is a good chance you will run into others later on.

  • Home Directory for AD on remote machine

    Hi,
    Requirement is like this:-
    As user is provisioned to AD a home directory for user is created on remote computer with name of user. I had wrriten a VB script to create a folder in users folder(folder already shared) on remote machine. I am able to sucessfully create the folder when i run script through command prompt. Now i write a java code to run the script with following command in java code.
    Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c cscript d:/users "+userid + " " + action);
    I am able to run the java code from eclispe and folder is created in users folder on remote machine.
    Now i had added a process task in AD process form and attached the adapter in which this java code is executed to run the script and i called this on response code (sucessfully provisioned) of AD .now when i provisoned user to AD process is called but error is their as cmd is not a command on linux... how can i run the script on linux.
    2) If folder users folder is not shared i have to give permissions on folder to particular user with userid and password to create its home directory in it how can i achieve this using vbscript??

    I assume you are creating folders in a file server and its a windows machine , is it ?
    You can install a remote manager on file server or on any other machine in network and execute your scripts remotely using remote manager
    Also you can execute your script like wscript c:\CreateFolder.vbs

  • Can i change the location for backup in my widows 7 ?

    How can i change the location for the bacup in my windows 7?Thanks.

    First, make sure iTunes isn't running
    Now, move the C:\Users\(yourname)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ folder to your preferred location. My was F:\iTunesMobileSync. This is up to you.
    Finally, start a command prompt as an administrator. You can do this from the Start Menu, type cmd.exe, then right click and select Run As Administrator. From the command prompt, create an junction point as I do below, just change f:\yournewfolder with your new location.One thing to to make sure of, don't end up with a folder like f:\yournewbackupfolder\Backup\Backup, so be sure to check how your folders ended up when you moved them.
    mklink /J "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "f:\yournewfolder\Backup"
    You should see something like this in Windows 7. Note the little "shortcut" overlay icon? That's saying this is a link.
    You can also confirm it with dir from the command line. Note the <junction>:
    C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync>dir
    Directory of C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          .
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          ..
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <JUNCTION>     Backup [f:\iTunesMobileSync\Backup]
                   0 File(s)              0 bytes
                   3 Dir(s)  97,594,851,328 bytes free
    If you are still on XP and not Vista or Windows 7, you don't have mklink, but you can use the junction utility in the same way.
    This works.

  • VL02N-Delivery Quantity can be changed in standered by the user

    Hi Gurus
    In STO Scenario After Making The Delivery VL10B Replenishment Delivery in Background
    In Change mode Delivery VL02N Delivery Quantity can be changed in std by the user how can i stop the changing the delivery quantity what should i do
    please its my client requirement
    Thanks in advance

    Dear Balarengan
    I have searched in MM forum and found this thread which is relevant to your requirement
    Forum post in ERP - Logistics Materials Management (MM): STO - How to control Over delivery ?
    STO - How to control Over delivery ?
    hope this helps you
    SAP has a logic for not controlling the over delivery in STO  in standard (unlike sales order  to delivery we have the controls in Zero VLP or 0VLP for this) because STO happens between plants of a same company code or different company codes .The movement of stocks are between plants But in a normal sales the delivery happens to a customer who is actually a third person and hence a user can misuse the delivery quantity
    A plant and an external customer cannot be treated as same
    Hence in SAP standards over delivery is not controlled in standard settings like item category etc
