Cannot change GroupWise User Name in GW Mobility Service 2.0

Hi,
In GW Mobility Service 2.0 I can no longer change the "GroupWise User Name" value, which I need for the the address book selection. I need to change it, because we use AD authentication. This sets the username value to CNAME, which is different from our logon names (sAMAccountName). I can only change the "Mobility User Name""now. In 1.2.5.299, I was able to change it.
As a result, I'm unable to add new users to the system. Anyone know how to fix this?

This has actually long been an issue, and I had failures even with 1.2.5. I
think you got lucky. This is a known problem with using LDAP groups for adding
users.
Also, you say that you were using AD groups, and this is definitely not
supported. eDirectory is the only supported LDAP server for Mobility and that
has always been the case.
So, I'm afraid that if this was working before, it was totally by accident.

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that. I've been using it with AD as an LDAP source for quite some time without any issues. I still use it for authentication to the web interface itself. It would still work if I could just modify the "GroupWise User Name", like I could in the previous version. It doesn't seem logical to allow changing the "Mobility User Name" and not the "GroupWise User Name".
I am adding users through the web interface now and abandoned adding them via the LDAP group option (still use AD auth on the devices). I don't want to use eDir as I'm trying to move away from it. Every system within our company authenticates using AD. I only have eDir for GroupWise and with the next version of GW coming up and fully supporting AD, I can finally go to a single Directory.
When I migrate to GW 2014, will I be able to select GroupWise for authentication in Mobility Service and have the POA use AD authentication? Effectively giving Mobility Service AD authentication through GW? If so, the only thing that would not work is adding users via a group (if eDir is not used anymore).

I changed the user name and screensaver does not let me enter

Change my User Name?

I am a brand new Mac user and am trying to learn everything on my own. Among many other questions, how can I change the name of my computer? When I bought the computer, the Geek Squad "optimized" it but they imputed my husbands name on everything instead of mine (since it was his credit account) but I am the primary user. Call me selfish, but I want my name on everything.
I have changed my User Name under Preferences>Accounts, and I have managed to change info in Address Book. However, in Finder, the name of my "home" is still set to my hubby's name and when I pull up "Get Info" I cannot change it. If you can help, I would appreciate it. It is moderately annoying to me.

I also would like to change my User Name

I'm hoping a host will contact me so that I can change my user name from my full name to simply my first name or a nickname.
Thanks

Hello Tom,
If you mean your Community name here, i'm afraid you cannot. Or at least it would be a very rare event. I have heard of one change recently because the name concerned was an embarrassment, but as I said, it's very, very rare. I will draw the host's attention to your post.

I changed my user name on Yahoo, now all my folders are gone. How to fix?

I use ipad mail for 4 email accounts. In Yahoo, I created personal folders with things I cannot afford to lose. I changed mu user name & password with Yahoo, so now all those folders don't show up with new user name. I contacted Yahoo, they said they were able to restore this data. When I checked on ipad, nothing. But my iMac showed all my mail accounts correctly, and under Yahoo, my folders were all there. Now somehow, I've messed it up again. Can't see those folders on iMac or ipad. How can I fix this? I'm not familiar with iMac as much as ipad. Any step by step instructions would be so appreciated!

We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

You have to clear saved password for this page:
# Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
# Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
# On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.
# Also clear all related cookies (just in case) there is button for this next to first one.

Windows 7 Desktop synchronisation - Windows cannot access \\server\users\name\desktop

Hi there
My client has a laptop which won’t load the desktop when disconnected from the network. When you log on (while disconnected) you get the error
“Windows cannot access \\server\users\name\desktop”
Works as expected while connected to the network.
The server is a Windows Small Business Server 2003 with active directory etc. and roaming profiles turned on. This issue does not occur on other workstations/laptops.
When I check the Users folder on the local system drive there is not a desktop folder. I assume this is the issue although I’m not sure how you would force windows to create one or why one hasn’t been created?
This is a brand new laptop so my initial reaction was to reset the laptop to factory state and then add the laptop back in to the domain. After this process the issue was still present!
I guess the only thing I should mention is that this was shipped as a Home Premium laptop and was then upgraded to Professional using an upgrade key.
I have checked Control Panel, System & Security, System, Advanced, User Profiles and the account shows as Local with Roaming Profiles greyed out.
Any ideas?

Change of user name

Hi all,
I just bought a Macbook pro. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the user name of the computer. The one associated to the little house icon.
I have been trying unsuccessfully to do it!
A part that I'm really enjoying my new computer!
thanks a lot!

If it is new and you haven't added anything to it, just create a new account with the name you want. Make it able to administer the computer and then log in to it. Delete the other one, or keep it for testing and troubleshooting.

Change Groupwise system name, po name and domain name?

Hello Board,
we want to migrate a Groupwise 7 System (Netware) to a Groupwise 8 System (Linux).
Doesnt sound that difficult, but we dont want to use the names for the system name, the post office and the domain (groupwise domain, _not_ internet domain) which were used on the old system.
Currently iam trying the way mentioned in TID 10077372, which mentions merging the two systems and then delete the old System.
Am i on the right way? Do you have any hints?
Any help appreciated.
best regards
sven

Grewes,
Ok you have a GW system(s) that you do not like the names and you want to change them. Not a problem. As you stated, and as Tommy said -merging works.
The process you need is to build a new GW system -same as the version you have running preferred. Set it up as you like it -name-wise. Then, merge the older systems (branches) into the new system you built. Then you will have to build new domains/post offices and move mailboxes from the old GW branches into the new domains/post offices. When its all done -delete the old, and you are done.
I have done many different variations of this type of migration/merge/consolidation. It works, its just a lot of work. Just make sure to plan it all out on paper first, document it, then go forward.
Good Luck!
Take Care.

Thank you for your reply.

How to change my user name?

I want to change the user name in "Users and Groups"
I changed it so that in the upper right hand corner of the desktop it reflects the new name, but when I open the Users folder, it still has the old name. I want to change the name of the main users folder. However, I would rather not change my Apple ID (which is my old user name).

I cannot change any user account icons

I cannot change any user account icons. Under the Default icons it says "No Items". Any new users are set up with a tennis ball with no other options. In the initial set up, there were a lot of choices. Now they're gone. It there a missing file?

Yes the missing user icons is unexplained and nothing I've tried has resolved it.
It seems to have occurred as part of the 10.8.2 update for me.
No user shows any of the default or custom user icons available in the users system preference. All the Apple icons are present in the /Library/User Icons folder as well as custom icons but they do not appear within the system's panel period. No icons appear there. You are able to add icons to it -per user. Any done in this manner are saved in that user's preferences so this does not affect the system level. I have tried removing preferences. I have tried removing the icons and adding them back including as root but all changes are applied to the user only. I have run Diskwarrior, repaired permissions, etc. And nothing changes this.
I cloned the image to another laptop, deleted all preferences from main library, restarted, logged in expecting it to be a preference issue. Still no user pictures shown for default user. In case the original users were corrupt, I created a new user and logged in with it. It was given one of the OSX pictures randomly chosen by the system. I logged in as user and still no pictures are shown. Tried to do a reinstall of 10.8.2 combo update and system refuses saying I cannot be done. Booted from recovery partition and it allowed an internet recovery.
No change. Took a brand new laptop and used user migration to copy the users over to it with all settings. Broke that system as well. Repeated creating new users, etc and no change. This is really annoying. I can repeat migrating users only and then partial settings to try to narrow it down but its time consuming.
