Create share point in dock as an alias

Currently, when I try to add an alias of a share point to the dock in Workgroup Manager it behaves like a folder in the user's dock. Specifically it behaves as a stack. I want it to behave like an alias does when it is added locally to a user's dock which is to open the share point as a window in the finder. How do I do this?

There is a list of characters that can not be the first character in a member alias, and "-" is one of them. So you can't set an alias to "-70.20, -80.4". A possible workaround is to add some constant prefix - for example "Map -70.20, -80.4" would be an acceptable alias - then trim it off for use in your Widget.

  • Trouble Creating Share Point via 'sharing' Command

    I'm having trouble creating a share point via the command line using the 'sharing' utility. Basically just trying to script the creation of a /WindowsShares/ share via SMB.
    Here is the command:
    <pre class=command>sharing -a /WindowsShares/ -n WindowsShares -s 001 -g 000 -i 00 -o 0 -t 1'</pre>
    It seems like everything works. <pre class=command>sharing -l</pre> shows this:
    <pre class=command>name: WindowsShares
    path: /WindowsShares/
    afp: {
    name: WindowsShares
    shared: 0
    guest access: 0
    inherit perms: 0
    ftp: {
    name: WindowsShares
    shared: 0
    guest access: 0
    smb: {
    name: WindowsShares
    shared: 1
    guest access: 0
    inherit perms: 0
    oplocks: 0
    strict locking: 1
    directory mask: 493
    create mask: 420
    }</pre>
    However, it doesn't seem to write anything to the /etc/smb.conf file... So nothing works.
    If I enter the following in smb.conf the share does work:
    <pre class=command>[WindowsShares]
    oplocks = 0
    map archive = no
    vfs objects = darwin_acls
    path = /WindowsShares
    read only = no
    strict locking = 1
    inherit permissions = 0
    comment = macosx
    create mask = 0644
    guest ok = 0
    directory mask = 0755</pre>
    However, even after entering this information - when I check 'Share Points' within WGM the share IS listed - but the 'Share this item and its contents' is NOT checked and thus, is confusing and can't be modified from WGM.
    Am I missing something when I am creating this share via the CLI?
    I assumed using 'sharing' worked the same way as using WGM and checking 'Share this item and its contents' - that works perfectly.
    I tried this with 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 Server (Universal).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Gary,
    Thanks for the reply...
    I ran the 'serveradmin' command to discover the SMB settings before and after the change via WGM. I restarted the SMB service as well...
    <pre class=command>S999EDC1:~ root# serveradmin settings smb:\*
    smb:encrypt passwords = yes
    smb:log level = 2
    smb:display charset = "UTF-8-MAC"
    smb:security = "ads"
    smb:deadtime = 5
    smb:hide dot files = "yes"
    smb:guest account = "unknown"
    smb:client ntlmv2 auth = "yes"
    smb:preferred master = no
    smb:defer sharing violations = "no"
    smb:adminCommands:homes = yes

    smb:allow trusted domains = yes
    smb:netbios name = "S999EDC1"
    smb:lanman auth = "YES"
    smb:vfs objects = "darwin_acls"
    smb:wins support = no
    smb:brlm = "yes"
    smb:max smbd processes = 0
    smb:server string = "S999EDC1 OS X Server"
    smb:os level = 8
    smb:domain logons = no
    smb:passdb backend = "opendirectorysam guest"
    smb:dos charset = "CP437"
    smb:realm = "EDU.CBE.AB.CA"
    smb:unix charset = "UTF-8-MAC"
    smb:auth methods = "guest opendirectory"
    smb:local master = no
    smb:domain master = no
    smb:map to guest = "Never"
    smb:use spnego = yes
    smb:printer admin = "@admin, @staff"
    smb:ntlm auth = "YES"
    smb:workgroup = "CBEEDU"</pre>
    The only difference was that smb:workgroup = "CBEEDU" and smb:log level = 2 were reversed. The settings were the same though. Thought that was odd.
    When making the change via 'sharing', there is no change.
    Is there any other documentation on 'sharing' other than the man page and CLI Guide from Apple? I haven't been able to find anything concrete.

  • Can't remove share points once created in admin tool

    I created share points using the Workgroup Manager according to the instructions found in the documentation. I am unable to remove them from the "Sharing/All list in the manager even after I uncheck the "Share this item and its contents" option as found in the documentation. I have checked for the "no change" toggle on the directories but that isn't the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Xserve Intel   Mac OS X Server (10.4.8)  

    Unchecking "Share this item and its contents" and saving changes should remove the SharePoints from the list.
    You can double-check this by opening NetInfo Manager and looking into the directory config/SharePoints of your local NetInfo Domain. That's where sharepoints are stored (at least until 10.5).

  • System creates group for every share point

    Every time I create a new share point on my OS X Server 10.5, a group is created by the system on the fly along with it.
    For example, I created a folder nameded Research Office and shared in Server Admin. Then when I assign the permission for the share point in Server Admin, I see a group called Research Office group with a GID of 124. However, this group does not appear in Workgroup Manager so I can not assign members to it.
    Anyone see this before?

    These groups are 'local' (Not LDAP) I still have difficulty wrapping my head around some of the rules about the 'how' this works but assigning LDAP users to this group does work!
    OK _To see this group(s)_.
    1: Open Workgroup Manager.app.
    2: Select /Local/Default in your Authentication list (this spot is between the Toolbar and the 4 (or 5) icons for User, Groups, Computer Groups etc.) We are looking for the place that should say something like 'Authenticated as XXXXX to local directory /Local/Default')
    3: Select the Groups icon (3 Shadows standing together)
    4: Select Menu View, Show System Users and Groups
    5: Now you will be able to select these groups.
    _To add LDAP users and groups to this 'local' group._
    1: Highlight the group in question
    2: Select the Members tab in the right pane
    3:Click the plus
    4: After the tray slides out, at the top of the tray, you will see a disclosure arrow and Local Directory /Local/Default. Click on it and select /LDAP/127.0.0.1
    Now you can select your LDAP users to assign rights.

  • User can't create folders on Share point

    The users is on 10.4.3 trying to create a new folder on a share point on a 10.3.8 server. All permissions in workgroup manager are correct with regards to the particualr share point. The user was able to create the folders about 3 weeks ago and then when she tried to create a folder, it came up with the error 'You do not have the permissions'
    I have re-copied all permsions to the share point, run repair permissions on the server and the user's machine.
    The user is logging in to a roaming account on the server.
    Although they do not have permissions to create a new folder they can save any document into any folder that is already created on the share point.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for all the help on this one. If anyone else has this problem, a full re-install of the local machine seemed to work.

  • How to create work space in the share point work space ?

    Hi,
    I have office 2010 with Share point work space.
    I have lot of files in the remote drives ( //sever1 ..etc ) and it is hard to find the files and modify them every time.
    So I have created groove work space and added one of the file from remote driver
    and then I have modified the file in the groove and it should be modified in the remote driver also, But it is not modifying.
    Please let me know any other ways to do this.
    I would like to reference the file in the share point work space tool. It should be modify in the remove driver once it is saved from space and vice versa.
    Thank you.

    Didn't know Workspace can sync folders, I only use it to sync offline folders and SharePoint. As an alternative, you can use SyncToy (

  • How to remove corrupt share point?

    Hi All,
    I have a corrupt sharepoint that is killing my backups, I'm in need of some help getting rid of this "beast".
    OS X Server 10.5.4 Advanced.
    Mac Mini 1.83 GHz 2GB RAM.
    Server runs on internal drive, backs up to external firewire drive.
    Server has been in daily use for about 4 months without incident.
    Here's the what happened and what I've tried so far.
    I Created a new sharepoint in ServerAdmin.
    Shared folder: /Library/WebServer/Documents
    Custom AFP name: /WebDocs
    The sharepoint "/Documents" was created, but I was unable to see or connect to /WebDocs.
    The first workstation connecting to /Documents resulted in a server crash (did not record details). Server seemed to be OK after rebooting.
    A second attempt to connect by the same workstation (Windows 2000) worked as expected and the user was able to read and write data on the server.
    As "/Documents" conflicts with an important local name, I deleted the /Library/WebServer/Documents share point and set up /Library/WebServer with Custom AFP name at default "WebServer".
    The sharepoints "/WebDocs" and "/Documents" do not appear in Server Admin.
    Now the server, and workstations bound to it, have an alias "/WebDocs" which seems to be corrupt and causes Superduper backups to fail with an error:
    Error - SDCopy: Failed to copy extended attributes to directory /Volumes/SrvBack/WebDocs:
    Too many levels of symbolic links
    Running Repair Permissions did not help.
    Get Info on /WebDocs (in Path Finder) shows:
    Kind: Alias
    UTI: com.apple.mount-point
    Locked: Yes
    Owner: root
    Permission 000
    type: 'lcmt'
    Creator 'rhap'
    BUT...
    server:/ root# ls -ld /WebDocs
    dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1 Aug 3 12:08 /WebDocs
    server:/ root# chmod -h 777 /WebDocs
    chmod: /WebDocs: Too many levels of symbolic links
    server:/ root# rm -d /WebDocs returnes an error:
    rm: /WebDocs: Resource busy
    server:/ root# mv /WebDocs /BrokenWebDocs
    seems to work as expected, but /WebDocs alias is recreated on server boot.
    server:/ root# ls -l /WebDocs returns an error:
    ls: WebDocs: Too many levels of symbolic links
    server:/ root# ls -l /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/config/Sharepoints
    shows all expected sharepoints, WebDocs is not present.
    server:/ root# sharing -l
    lists all expected sharepoints, WebDocs is not present.
    LDAP Log does not list WebDocs or Documents
    Server Log contains:
    Aug 4 13:14:35 server servermgrd[88]: servermgr_filebrowser:
    FSPathMakeRef failed with status -35.
    path: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/WebDocs
    I am guessing that the corrupt /WebDocs share point is contained in the LDAP directory, because it's propagated out to the work stations, but I don't know where to begin looking for that.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    The solution to this problem:
    Workgroup Manager/Preferences/Show "All Records" tab and inspector.
    Select the "All Records" tab (Target icon).
    Use the search tool to find the errant sharepoint and delete it.
    Problem solved.
    Odd that the sharepoint did not sow in the System Admin tool...

  • Items in the Dock vs. Alias

    When I create an alias the icon would have an arrow on the left side.
    When I drag a item to the dock there are no arrow for the icon.
    Are the items in the dock and alias the same thing?
    If so why doesn't the items in the dock have the arrow?
    Is the dock items an alias or not? Or is it a special kind of alias?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Is the dock items an alias or not?
    Good question - if the issue is semantics, it seems Apple is referring to a lot of things as "alias" these days.
    The "Finder" aliases, or maybe "alias files" would be a better term, are discrete files that contain a reference to another file (or folder or application...). These are the ones that appear in "Finder" or open / save dialogues, and are marked by the curved arrow, and of which there are two types. One is the classic "alias" (the kind from pre-OS X days) that have all of their information in the resource fork, and have the ability to keep track of their "target" (the original item) even when either original or alias is moved around. Unix "symbolic links" (I'm not sure how these work - it may be a filesystem trick) have the advantage that they are understood by the unix parts of OS X, but will stop working if the originals are moved, and will often stop working when the "alias" is moved (depending on whether it is an "absolute" or "relative" link). A "symbolic link" has a generic icon, whereas a classical alias usually has the same icon as the original (which might include a generic icon). Given how differently they behave in the event something is moved, I think referring to both as simply "alias" (as the "Finder" does) may be misleading, and if you are using "Finder" in "column view" with icons turned off, there would be no way to distinguish between the two. For that matter, since alias names are no longer italicized, there is no way to tell whether a file is any type of alias, or a real file with those view settings...
    An "alias" in the "Dock" and "sidebar" or the toolbar is not a discrete file. Such items consist of entries within a property list file somewhere (the com.apple.dock.plist file, for example). I'm not sure, but the entries likely contain the same type of information that the classic resource fork based "alias" file contains. However, since they aren't discrete files, they are not the same as an "alias" file. But can you refer to them as aliases? I don't know what the official word is.
    I suspect the reason that the "Dock" icons are not marked with a curved arrow, despite containing "alias data" is simply because it is possible to place an "alias file" in the "Dock". The "Dock" icon reflects the nature of the item that it is referring to, so if the original is an alias, it will have an arrow, whereas if the original is a "real" file, it won't.
    Recent developments suggest that the relationship between an alias and its original is becoming blurred. In the past, it was understood that double-clicking the alias would open the original file, and from that point on, you would be working on the original. However, an alias file could be moved to the "Trash", deleted, renamed, marked with a label, whatever, with no effect on the original (not counting a few bugs). This has gradually been changing. In previous OS X versions, it was already possible to move the original item by manipulating the "Dock" icon. I don't have "Tiger", but it is my understanding that it is possible to rename the original item now by renaming the sidebar icon. Since the effect on the original differs between an "alias file" and a "Dock" or "Sidebar" icon, and the existing, well established concept of what an alias is (ie. an "alias file"), I would prefer that the "Dock", "Sidebar" and "Toolbar" icons be referred to by some new term other than "alias".

  • Multiple projects, multiple lists on Share Point

    Hi, I am hoping someone can provide me guidance here.
    I am trying to create a project list on SharePoint that shows the Gantt Chart of the task duration. However, there are multiple projects with the same tasks which I would like to capture. For example: Project A has task 1, task 2, .... task 20; Project B
    has the same tasks 1, 2... and 20. These tasks and projects are being worked on by different individuals.
    What I would like to capture is the duration of each tasks for these projects in one list on Share Point. Is it possible?
    any response would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance for your time.

    Making this more complex adds potential rendering difficulty down the line.
    One list is indeed better and can be managed more easily. you'll be able to present different views of the data on different web part pages if needed, along with additional metadata,

  • Custom NFS share point directory showing up on all network machines

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of migrating our 10.4 PowerMac server to a Mac Pro (running 10.5). I've been trying to recreate our 10.4 server setup as much as possible and so far I've only come across one annoying issue.
    We have fink installed on the server and under our 10.4 setup the /sw directory was set up as an NFS automounted share point with a custom mount point of '/sw'. I.e. users logging into client machines saw a /sw directory and could work with that. This made it easier to add fink packages as I only needed to do this on one machine (the server). This setup worked very well under 10.4 and had been working stably for the last couple of years.
    As we now have (for another month or two at least) a mix of intel and Power PC machines, I don't want to share out the (intel) server version of fink to all clients. In Server Admin, I have chosen to set the NFS protocol options to specify the IP address of just one client (an intel machine). I am only using NFS to share this directory. The plan is to add more client IP addresses as we get more intel machines.
    This works for the one intel client machine. Logging in via the GUI or via ssh allows you to run programs located under the /sw directory. The problem is that a phantom /sw directory appears on all client machines, even though their IP addresses are not specified in Server Admin. The /sw directory has root/wheel permissions (for user/group) and attempting to list its contents returns 'Operation not permitted' (even with 'sudo ls /sw').
    If I use Directory Utility to remove the connection to the Directory server on our main server, then the /sw directory becomes owned by root/admin and I can remove it (it appears empty). Reconnecting to the Directory Server changes the permissions back to root/wheel. It is also worth noting that when I first installed fink on the server (in /sw) the act of making this a share point also changed the permissions on /sw to root/wheel meaning that I couldn't access the fink programs that I had only just installed (this forced me to reinstall fink in /Volumes/Data/fink).
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior? It almost seems like Server Admin is not honoring the list of IP addresses that are being listed as targets for client machines. I had planned to install fink locally on the PowerPC clients until we upgrade them to intel machines. However, I would then also have to install fink somewhere other than /sw as I can't write to that directory. I would presume that this behavior should happen on any NFS share point that is trying to automount to a custom mount point on a client. Can anyone else verify this?
    Regards,
    Keith

    As a footnote. I have now removed my shared fink installation. It is no longer listed as an NFS sharepoint in Server Admin and running the 'showmount -e' command does not list it. However, a /sw directory is still being created on the server and on the client machines on our network.
    This is perplexing and frustrating. There is no sharepoint any more. I rebooted the server but it makes no difference. I removed the /sw directory (on the server) by booting the machine in target firewire mode and removing it by using a 2nd machine. But following the restart, it appeared again.
    This suggests that once you make any custom mountpoint (using NFS sharing) then you will forever be stuck with a directory at the root level of all your clients which you can not remove.

  • List value retaining in Share point hosted app 2013

    I'm creating a Share point hosted app.
    I have a list inside Share point 2013 app. We are inserting records into the list through some other forms in app.
    But when we deploy the app, it is getting retracted & deployed again. So the list values are getting deleted.
    Is there any way to retain the Share point app list values during deployment?
    I tried the following things as suggested by some experts in internet.
    • Setting up the app catalog for app in Central admin and increment the version for every deployment.
    • I set the “deployment conflict resolution” property of list instance to “none”.
    But both the things not working.
    Please help me on this issue.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to keep the list data while redeploy the app project.
    As you had known, to keep the data in the app, we should first set up the  app catalog.
    Then we should upload your app with version 1.0.0.0. Install app to the desired web.
    After some code modification increment your version to 1.0.0.1 and upload again your app to catalog.
    Upgrade your installed app. More details about updating
