Clients can't login to OD when home folders are on server

Lion Server 10.7.2, Lion Clients 10.7.2
Fresh new server, not a single service is on, except for file sharing, dns, open directory.
After setting up network, time to add some clients.
Clients whose homefolders are marked as "only local" (in server app), can login to their account on a client machine, with obviously local homefolders.
The moment the "only local" setting is changed to a network homefolder location (the default "Users"), they can no longer login, and get a simple message not being able to login.
I do not have a lot of knowledge of servers, but this is a real simple setup:
Fresh server, only one client machine (for now).
In Directory Utility (on server AND client), the HomeDirectory and NFSHomeDirectory are matching, and pointing at the selected path for this network-user. As is in Workgroup manager, the homefolder path is pointing where is should.
Just tried on a leopard client machine. Binding OD in seconds, but with the same client login result.
Can anyone help me with this one?
Thanks

Yes indeed kjamezzz, that was my problem.
But same as Good-heart, no connection possible to OD when away from server. Probably because the 'Users and Groups" preferences point to OD-server  server.local  instead of the external DNS record. But the client can't find the OD server when pointing to the external DNS record, even when they are in the same network.

    Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, when you copy & paste a data from server to Outlook, word, notepad, then you do not receive the Chinese text.
    For Outlook, please follow these steps: -
    Close and reopen Outlook in your western locale (or switch the windows system to your Western locale if you changed that),
    Manually change the message from Western to Chinese encoding, which you can do in all versions up to Outlook 2007.
    If you want to stay in your Chinese locale in Outlook 2007, then:
    After you hit reply, go to the Option tab > More Options.
    In the Encoding drop-down menu, select the Chinese encoding you are working in (Not the encoding used by the person who will receive the message)
    Note:
    To set the Chinese locale in all versions up to 2007 the controls are under.
    Tools > Options. In Outlook 2010 File tab > Options > Advanced > International options.
    Unicode (UTF-8)
    is a good setting for multilingual users.
    Check the
    Auto select 2007)/ Automatically select (2010) encoding box.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • IPhoto not showing up -- Network Home Folders on Windows server

    When our users who have their home folder on a Windows server open iMovie, they can't access their iPhoto library within iMovie. The same is true for the 3rd party app, ComicLife. Is there something going wrong where the Windows server is screwing up whatever links the iPhoto library with other apps? Users who are on the Apple server are working just fine.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    For reference, this is any mac client on 10.4.9 with Networked home folders going to either Win2003 server or Mac Server 10.4.10.

    In case anyone else is looking... This was being caused by connecting to the home folders on the windows server using AFP. Switching it to SMB fixed the problem.

  • How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?...

    I am using IMAP and it works fine. Except "Sent" messages are saving on the server to "Send Messages" however I cannot see it on the list of IMAP folders in Mail. I see other folders, Save, etc. ones I created, just can't make the folder on the server show up in Mail.
    If I go into the "Account Info" window in Mail, it does not show it either. Even though it is on the server and Mail is saving sent messages to it as it should.
    Any ideas? How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?
    Thanks
    Frank

    Yes it is using the sent mailbox but just does not show it. MS Mail on Vista has a "show/hide" IMAP folder screen, I wish Mac Mail has this..would be perfect.
    I was thinking about deleting the account, and adding it, that would reset it I am sure. However I have my mail set to keep a copy locally for off-line viewing (option in preferences under Account) and I get the sense that if I delete the IMAP account and add it, it will download a copy of each piece of mail (for example my inbox) again and I will have two of everything. Does this make sense? Do you think this will happen?

  • IOS 5 - Can't send work email when home WIFI turned on...

    But only from my work email acct...sends emails fine from my suddenlink.net acct (Suddenlink is ISP). I can receive emails on both accts fine with WIFI on, and can send/receive fine on both accts when WIFI is turned off. Both accts are set up virtually the same, using each respective smtp server and both using port 587 in smtp settings. WIFI otherwise works fine for browsing, downloads, apps, etc. I literally have to turn WIFI off when I need to send email from work acct, and then turn back on for regular. This doesn't seem to be working as designed, and worked fine on previous iOS versions.  Any suggestions?

    This means that the settings for the cogeco outgoing mail server are incorrect. The most common error is to not enter a user ID and password for the outgoing server because it says "optional". It's only optional as far as the iPhone is concerned; the mail server almost always does require them. The other values to check are the server name, SSL setting and the port number.

  • Can't login on iMac to Local Network accounts on server

    I'm a volunteer at the Marjorie P Lee retirement community. We had two iMacs that were available for residents to use. We recently bought two more iMacs and a Mac Mini Server. The goal is to make it possible for residents to use any of the computers and have their files available.
    I have set up the server and did the updates so the machine is running 10.9.4 and the latest update of the server software. I have enabled Open Directory and created a couple of Local Network User accounts for testing. I also enabled file sharing and Time Machine backups.
    One of our older iMacs is running OS X 10.6.8. On this iMac, I went to the Users & Groups pane and under Login Options I connected to the Network Account Server. I got the green dot indicating that the connection was successful. I then enabled network logins. This worked; I am now able to login on this iMac to the local network accounts on the server.
    I did exactly the same thing on one of our brand new iMacs. Again I got the green dot indicating a successful connection to the server. Unfortunately I have been unable to login to the local network accounts from this machine. When I try to login, the password shakes as though I had entered the wrong password.
    What do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Most likely your Imac is using g or n to broadcast wirelessly while your router is using b.  Solution update your router.

  • Outlook permissions fail to open PST after home folders migration on server

    Yesterday I spent the day consolidating files on our server.Users my Doc folders are redirected to the server.I moved the central file share \\server\User Home Folders$ from the soon to be decommissioned G: volume to the New central storage D:I used emcopy64 for this to retain all file permissions and owner etc.This is the command I used:G:\emcopy64 "g:\User Home Folders" "d:\User Home Folders" /o /s /secforce /c /r
    :3 /sdd /w:5 /log:"d:\emclog/txt"Then I stopped sharing on g:\User Home Folders and enabled sharing on d:\User Home Folders with the same name and permissions. I checked and all attributes, ownership, time stamps and NTFS permissions followed nicely, it felt great. Then this morning as I was starting things up before anyone got into work, I discovered it. When outlook 2010 was started it reported "Access is denied. You don't...

  • Email client problems. Emails stored in my saved folders are missing? What gives?

    I've lost all my "saved" emails in my folders?! (Mac email client) The folders are there, the contents are gone!

    I would also like to know about the company directory question.
    Is it just really well hidden, or actually not present.
    If not present, when will i be available?
    In general, I'm also missing a feature to enable a full sync/indexing localy on the phone.
    Todays phones has tonns of memory and CPU power, and for the user to have the phone look up the calling party directly is verry time saving. Also being able to quickly identify missed and/or placed calls is verry usefull.
