Controlling Preferences on Computer List Doesn't Work

Hi All,
I'm sure I am doing something dopey, but I can't figure out what.
I have an Xserve running Server OS 10.4.11 and a lab on a subnet, 17 clients running OS 10.5.7. These computers are connected to en1 via a switch, and receiving IP addresses via DHCP (in the 192.168 range). Share points work fine, as does web accesses and network user accounts.
There are two computer lists in the room - one is for a "teacher station," and the other 16 machines are on a seperate "Lab" computer list. On the "teacher station," when I open Directory Utility, I enter the name of the server, it finds it right away and preferences are controlled. All is well.
However, the other clients' Directory Utility cannot find the OD master. Further, when I am in "Workgroup Manager," I note that if I browse for clients using the "..." button, none of those 16 iMacs appear in the list. I added the machines manually, entering their MAC addresses, but it does not appear to be effective.
I am looking to see what is different between the teacher station and the 16 student machines and can only see one thing, which is the NetBIOS name - for the student machines, it is identical ("lab") but since there is no Windows anywhere to be found in the setup, I don't understand why this would be the issue. Nor do I understand where I would make this change if I needed to - changing it locally is not effective, and it is all "dimmed" or "greyed out" anyway.
What am I missing?
Many thanks!

Can you reduce it down to a 20-line test case?  If so, post it.

  • Copying ARD preferences and computer lists on a server

    Sorry tried a search but couldn't find anything.
    I would like to share the preferences and computer list to more users on the server. Is there an easy way to do this without having to manually copy the prefs and install them on the account?

    Hi Francisco Munoz,

    Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
    Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
    It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

  • X-fi Extreme Gamers not in IRQ list, doesn't work at all.

    9X-fi Extreme Gamers not in IRQ list, doesn't work at all.O Lo mates,
    my specs:
    Intel C2D E8500
    Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R
    Club3D ATi 4870 52MB
    2GB OCZ
    2 WD Raptors connected to onboard raid controller
    X-Fi in PCI slot
    my problem:
    The X-fi isn't working as it should. It's not getting detected in bios / POST so it can ofcourse not be working in any OS (currently running Win7 7068
    I used to own a AMD 2500 / Asus A7N8X-E deluxe, and it used to work, but when I upgraded to a C2D E6600 / DFI Infinity it only showed up 3 times in my IRQ list / OS. This ofcourse is to blame to Creative, because they dont care about the PCI standard and didn't implement IRQ resource sharing in the Extreme Gamer card. After upgrading to my current setup (listed above) it's still not working at all, even though I tried disabling all onboard devices I dont use, and manually mapped IRQ channels to the PCI ports so they wouldnt share.
    The X-fi is fine, I recently put it in another pc with another brand motherboard, and it was detected instantly. Guess the guy who owns that pc had some luck with his motherboard don't feeling the need to share IRQ's at that particulair moment... its like Russian roulette.
    Is there anything i can do to get the soundcard to work even though it doesn't implement the PCI standards and therefore in my opinion failed as a soundcard and as a brand as a whole?
    Greats,

    = Hey mate:
    Havent seen your exact bios, but if you have a setting in it, called? reset [color="#000080" size="3">Extended System Configuration Data.
    Then that might shuffle your bios, per se and then let that card be redetected. I used to use that on my systems when swapping one single part in order to get all the IRQs to shuffle around again, and give one to my card. Do you remember when the magic number to give to your Creative card was IRQ 5, DMA Low of , DMA High of 5, address of 220 and port of 330? Well that is how I used to get my system to shuffle my printer ports and modems in order to bump that sound card to get the correct addresses. Also check to see if the edges of your sound card are blackened. Wipe them with your fingers and see if there is an ashy burned residue. This will tell you if that card has been electrically damaged, or oily/dirty. Also the backlplates on some sound cards are slightly bent and your sound card will fit into its slot, but not all the way. A hair off and that card will be picked by your system every couple of boots.
    Try this and let me know how it goes for you.

    Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
    With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

    I have recently had problems in getting my Adobe Premiere Elements 10 to run. One of the gentlemen was able to take over control of my computer, and got it working for me, however since that time the program will sometimes open but most times it just freezes the computer and I have to shut it down and re open without any success with opening the elements program.
    Can you help

    Sosure
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on?
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? NVIDIA GeForce? If so, please read the Announcement about the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce issue which is found at the top of this web site. Does that apply to you? The explanation for the situation and the fix (roll back of the driver version) are all included in that Announcement.
    We need to rule in or out this factor at the onset before we get to other questions
    a. non NIVIDIA video card/graphics card driver
    b. project preset and properties of source media
    c. computer details
    More later.
    We will be watching for your reply.

  • ITunes keeps freezing no matter what I try. No that it controls all my music, and doesn't work, what am I supposed to do?

    It seems that iTunes doesn't want to work. I've reinstalled, ugraded and restarted my computer. But nothing seems to work iTunes keeps freezing. Now it's just a useless app on my computer. It controls all the music and it's taken many hours to be bothered to use it, now that I depend on it it doesn't work. Is there another more reliable program that organizes and transfers music to iPods? Or am I just stuck with the music thats on my iTunes?
    I'm not really impressed and that my family has many apple products that are mainly run by this one piece of software is mind bogglling.
    Are there older versions of iTunes to use? because before this last update I had no issues.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
