EMacs cant log into active directory anymore

Hello,
I'm hoping you can give me some insight as to what is going on.
We run an active directory network which is basically all PCs.
We do however have two rooms with 12 eMacs in them each. Up until mid December they had been mostly fine but what we are exeriencing now is that they are having real difficulty logging into the active directory.
If i click on the names of the machines eventually i will see one of three things:
1. Green dot- network accounts available. These we can log into.
2. Yellow dot - some network accounts available. These we cant log into.
3. Red dot - no network accounts available. These we cant log into.
My knowledge of Macs is about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.
The DHCP server is server 2003
The eMacs are running OS X 10.4.11
I can log into them as local administrator and can browse the network and even get onto the internet when they are unable to log onto Active directory.
What ive done so far...
1. If i unbind and then rebind the mac using directory access they can log in for a while but then randomly they change so that we cant log into them anymore.
2. gave each of the macs an ip reservation on the dhcp server so that they always pick up the same ip address.
3. removed them from Active directory and re added them. even gave them different names.
4. Changed out the switch they were plugged into.
none of these has solved the issue so far so im hoping that someone might have seen something like this before...
thank you.

Hi halo511, and a warm welcome to the forums!
My knowledge of Win/2003 is about 3 on a scale of 1 to 100!
I wonder if these might help...

Delete local accounts created when logging into Active Directory?

When a user logs into their Mac using their Active Directory credentials, a new local user folder is created that corresponds to their login name. But a new account doesn't show up in the System Preferences Accounts. So how do I go about deleting this local account? Can I simply delete their Users folder?
Thanks.
G4 (model M8839LL/A) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

AD does this with Windows, too. This is because the AD account is not the same as the local account. If you have a user with the username joeuser, and he has a local account named joeuser, he'll have a home directory in that name. If he logs into and AD system with the domain name ADDomain, there will then be an account with a name something like joeuser.ADDOMAIN, which, by definition, is not the same as the account joeuser. On a Windows box, at the same time as the joeuser.ADDOMAIN account is created the joeuser account will have its name changed; if the box's name is joe's_mac, the joeuser account will become joeuser.JOE'S_MAC. This kind of thing will apply only to users who have both local and domain accounts. Users who have only local accounts, such as jilluser, will not have their account name changed. Users who have only domain accounts, such as bobdomain, will not have their account name changed. Users will not notice any difference in the way they log in; they will log into their domain account, and see just what that account has access to, or will log into their local account, and see just what that local account has acces too, depending only on how they set the login box. They will never have to enter joeuser.ADDOMAIN, just joeuser... and the domain name in the proper place.
If you delete the domain account, a new one will be automatically generated as soon as the user logs back in using a domain account. Any data stored in that account will be deleted when you delete the account.

Permissions issue binding and logging into Active directory

Hello:
We're having an issue with file permissions when our Macs connect to SMB shares via AD. We bind the macs to the active directory but when the users connect to the SMB shares (Go connect to server smb://.......) they see everything on the drive not just their shares. Is there a setting in the Directory utility that will only allow the user to see their shares or is this an issue on the windows side of the house. The windows users do not have this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Rick

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

Error trying to log into Oracle Directory Manager

I am receiving an error message when I try to log into Oracle Directory Manager. This is the first time I am trying to log in, I am trying to login with the username cn=orcladmin, and with the password welcome, which is the default. I then receive the error message "Server is not up and running". I thought I started an OID instance with oidctl.
I am running on w2k.
I am using the default port 389, at least thats what I accepted while installing the infrastructre.
Any advise?

I cant log into the icloud from my laptop. Vista 2.1.3

Can some one finally help me out there!
I cant log into the icloud from my laptop. Its running Vista 32bit, with service pack 2. The icloud is 2.1.3 for vista.
I enter the log in details and password, and then the 'daisy wheel' comes up, and that's as far as it goes!!
I know the log in details are all correct as I use itunes match on ipad and iphone. I can also share photos between iphone and ipad without an issue.
The Apple store weren't any help (Bath) as its not a Apple laptop!!
Fingers crossed you can help!!

You may be to late to start - new android phones have the same protection and by June next year all of them will. Best of luck. If you really apple customer you can find your original receipt and or request a copy and use it as proof to unlock phone. If you didn't purchase from Apple, you still have option to attempt
to look through your icloud accounts and verify that neither one is the one that you need. And if it is not your account and you didn't purchase directly from Apple then you are the victim of Apple's attempt to render stolen/lost phones useless, to bring down theft. Question if you deserve it is besides the point, but at the very least you should have learned to manage your apple/icloud id by now being a loyal apple customer you are...

How to import Photos into Active Directory

Hi -
IT Director asked me to import employees pictures into Active Directory so that we can use them in Outlook, SharePoint, Lync etc.
Do you know how to import pictures into Active Directory?

Thumbnailphoto Attribute in active directory is responsible for adding photos to Active directory.
By Default Replication of this attribute will be disabled to Global catalog server. To make use of this facility we will have to enable replication of this attribute to Global Catalog. ( To accomplish this you will have to edit the schema using Active directory
schema snap in).
Refer Below link which explains about enabling the replication of Thumbnailphoto attribute to Global catalog.
http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/configuring-using-display-picture-exchange-server-2010.html
Requirements
Minimum requirement for your exchange enviornment to use this - Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2007 Don't support uploading photos AFAIK.
Domain controller should be running with atleast windows server 2008 or later. And
schema has to be windows server 2008
Additionally for your information,
How to remove the uploaded photos?
Either You can edit the Thumbnailphoto attribute using ADSIedit and remove the entry which is assocaited with Thumbnailphoto attribute.
Or,
Try this.
The Import-RecipientDataProperty and Export-RecipientDataProperty cmdlets allow you to import and export the photo blob to and from
thumbnailPhoto attribute, but there's no Remove-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet to remove it. You can use the
RemovePicture switch of Set-Mailbox cmdlet to remove a user's photo. For example:
Set-Mailbox "Bharat Suneja" -RemovePicture
Check out the below link which explains in and out of uploading photos,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
