How to CLOSE directory Utility 10.8.5

Guys have a really stupid problem here. I cant connect my Mac Mini to a Domain controller but I just want to close off the directory utility so I can get to it later but will not close. I cannot even shut down the machine as it holds it up.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks....been fighting this for a while.

How to use Directory Utility to make a local test domain?

I need to set up wildcard subdomains for a test domain of acegamingsyndicate.test and I can only find guides that use the netinfo utility, which has been removed from Leopard and replaced with the Directory Utility.
How would I add acegamingsyndicate.test so that I can use wildcard subdomains? acegamingsyndicate.test itself works, after I added it in the hosts file, but subdomains are not working so I don't think that it should be in the hosts file. In fact I'm nearly positive it's not supposed to go in the hosts file.

You don't use Directory Utility.
Directory Utility is used to bind the server to a directory server - typically used for user accounts and the like. It's not used for hostnames.
Also, as you've noted, you can't use /etc/hosts to create wildcard records.
What you need is a DNS server.
Mac OS X includes one (BIND), but it is managed via traditional text file editing in the command line, not via a GUI app. Mac OS X Server adds a GUI, but it doesn't sound like you're running that.
So the question is, how comfortable are you using the command line and is manually configuring the DNS server something you think you're up for?

How do I close the Directory Utility Window?

The Directory Utility window was opened and I have not been able to close it.
Upon restarting, a pop-up message reads that the window must close in order to complete the operation.
Only the minimize (yellow) button is available for click and the Systems Preference window is closed.

Click on Tools.

I've accidentally deleted the System Administrator entry in Directory Utility. How do I recreate it?

How do I recreate the "System Administrator" entry in Directory Utility. It was accidentally deleted.

If you see this article: http://www.stupidlittleblog.com/2011/technology/apple/mac-os-x-lion/mac-os-x-lio n-root-user-sigin-error/#.To_DWOsb6jV
I was having the same root user password login problem.
So I followed the instructions in it, but instead of deleting "AuthenticationAuthority" setting for System Administrator, I accidentally deleted the whole "System Administrator".
Therefore, I'll need to recreate the "System Administrator" entry in the Directory Utility. Maybe you can send me a screen capture of the System Administrator settings so I can try to recreate it. Or else if you know how I can recreate is (maybe from Terminal command line), it will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Authentication problem in Directory Utility (Standard Mode)

I misposted this in the 10.4-and-earlier section...I have Leopard.
Okay, I suppose I am in over my head as I am not a NA but just had so many macs I thought it would be fun to see if I can make OS X Server work.
I have at the moment 3 users set up: 1 admin and 2 Standard users. When one of the remote Macs tries to use Directory Utility to authenticate, it insists that "The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match." Well, I have reset the passwords on the server several times and I am darn sure I have them right. I can connect to the server and use folders and whatnot; i just can't use any of the services.
I suspect this is a permissions issue, because I also get errors if I try to "Allow (one of the standard users) to administer this server" in the Server Preferences/Users pane. I get "Error '-14120' occurred while processing a command of type 'setMembership' in plug-in 'servermgr_accounts'. That's very descriptive and helpful except that I do NOT know what I am doing.
Uh, little help? Did I just do something very stupid that is making everyone chuckle?

I've been at this for eight days myself. Lots of problems. So don't feel bad if things don't sort of "click" into place - they haven't been for me.
First off - I noticed that you have server_name.local. I'll say something right here about that. I had no end of grief when I configured my server with a .local extension. All my machines are named after Kellogg's cereals - so I decided to name this one honeycomb. So during installation I named it honeycomb.local.
Now before I explain this - understand this is my understanding .. I could be dead wrong - but this is how I understand it. Apple uses Bonjour technology to locate network resources. In a network environment there will no doubt already be conventional methods for locating computers - such as DNS, Directory Services, etc. Bonjour is designed to happily coexist with all of those. It essentially uses multicast technology to find other devices on the network and configure it. When a device is using Bonjour - it utilizes the .local suffix. You can see where I am going with this.
So I had some issues and decided to pull the plug. Reinstalled the OS and used honeycomb.private. I STILL see honeycomb.local being referenced throughout - so I feel good now that I made the right choice. Things have been going a lot better since.
I am going to use mymachine.private as the computer, and jdoe as the username in the next bit. Replace them with your own info.
+From my own experiences, here are some things to check+
*_1) Server must respond to the Client's Requests _*
On the Server:
-Use 'ipfw flush' and clear out firewall rules while you are testing.
-Does 'ping mymachine' work?
-Does 'ping mymachine.private' work?
_*2) Client must be able to find the data in Open Directory:*_
-Is Open Directory running in Server Admin.
-In Server Admin, under Open Directory, under Overview - do you have everything running? Is there an LDAP search base and a Kerberos Realm? Are they correct?
-Connect with an LDAP client if you must, and manually verify that the user information is in there. I love Apache Directory Studio (http://directory.apache.org/studio/)
-Perhaps there are certificate or identity issues - turn off the SSL options during testing.
-In Workgroup Manager->User jdoe->Home ensure the information is correct.
*_3) Client must be able to mount the home directory:_*
-Can you manually mount /Users/ on the client, and read / write everything in the jdoe folder ?
In Server Admin, under File Sharing
-/Users/ share point - Automount should be enabled (AFP, Home Folders)
-/Users/ permissions - others should be at least read-only
This is my preference .. but...
-/Users/jdoe permissions should be:
ACL: jdoe - Allow, +Full Control+
POSIX:
jdoe - Allow, +Read & Write+
admin - Allow, +Read & Write+
Others - Allow, None
Select jdoe folder, click on the Cog and Propagate Permissions. Check all permission boxes and click OK.
_On the Client_
I usually start off, by verifying:
-Does the client have a DHCP address from my server?
-Can my client ping the shortname and fullname of my server?
-Can I manually connect to the server and mount a share?
-Did I do an *ipfw /flush* on the client too?
If all that is correct, then I will go into Directory Utility and click the + to add a directory server. I will select type "Open Directory", type in the server name (mymachine.private), and leave SSL unchecked. Click OK. When done it should say:
mymachine.private(Open Directory Server) - This server is responding normally
Once you get this far, try logging out and logging in as a user - ie. jdoe
If it won't let you log in then answer this - did it do its shAkE at you or did it give you an error message?
Kerberos shouldn't be rearing its ugly head at this stage of the game - its more for single sign on .. but if you see any authentication windows with the words "REALM" or "PRINCIPLE" - those words should set off little Kerberos alarm bells in your head. Like I said - at this stage in the game I don't think those have anything to do with it.
_*Few other notes:*_
#1) In Workgroup Manager - you could add the client computer. Enter its full name and short name (you can get them from the sharing option in the client's system preferences). Once the computer is added, you can go into the preferences for the computer, click on Login Preferences and set it to always manage. Put a message in the message box such as "Directory has been consulted" and check the "Show Network Users" box. This way - when you log out .. you will have an indication as to whether the open directory is working at all on the client, or if the problem is more focused with the user account.
#2) I have been getting
+Error of type Not a known DirStatus (-1) on line 2075 of SourceCache/ WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319/Plugins/UserAccounts/UserAdvancedPluginVi ew.mm+
when creating a user in Workgroup Manager. I just close out of the user and then it allows me back in.
Drop a post if you manage to solve the problem.

Can't login after deleting a standard user on directory utility.

My laptop was rebooted in an apple service center, they made a user account for me to use. I backed up my old user with migration using time machine. I changed the administrator to my old user account and tried to delete the other user but it kept on returning. After searching on how to delete user, I found a tutorial that promted me to delete that account using the directory utility found in Systems/Library/CoreServices.
When I tried to log in again, my computer can't find the administrator user. The log in screen is empty and when I type the admin name and password, it would just load and nothing. On the password box, the little circle would just go round and round. Please help!

Hi RHermann,
I have some question.
Does the user use a network account for login and how many users are affected by this problem?
Did that happened with a local user account on the same PC, too?
Which OS is running on your PC? Windows 7 64 Bit?
Which server system do you use for the User server?
Do you get any problem reports if you login after uninstall DIAdem?
Can you tell me which HW you use? Dell HP …
I hope that information will make it possible to detect your problem. :-)

Re:How to close and reopen a document immediately?

Original Message available here: <a href="/webx?14@@.3c055358">Dave Sykes, "How to close and reopen a document immediately?" #, 15 Nov 2007 4:46 am</a> > Dave Sykes - 04:46am Nov 15, 2007 Pacific I would like to close a document and then immediately afterwards open it up again. The documentation says "To process a command to close the document immediately, use IDocumentCommands::Close'', but it also points to SDKLayoutHelper::CloseDocument which uses IDocFileHandler::Close. If I use IDocumentCommands::Close the close succeeds, but InDesign unexpectedly quits when it regains control. If I use IDocFileHandler::Close then when I reopen the document I get the assert ``Calling SelectionExtentionRegistry::Initialize more than once!'' This is the same error I get by not closing the document at all. I have also tried ProcessCommand(Utils<IDocumentCommands>()->CreateCloseCommand(docUIDRef)), but this also crashes InDesign when it regains control. In all cases I am calling ProcessCommand(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kCloseLayoutWinCmdBoss), as otherwise I get an error that the document is still referenced on close. Is it possible to close all the layout windows and also close the document, so that it can be reopened immediately? I had the same issue and tried to solve it by closing all windows in the document's IWindowList and then calling IDocFileHandler::Close() with IDocFileHandler::kProcess to process the command immediately instead of scheduling it. Unfortunately this still resulted in a crash. Eventually I got around it by adding the following line before re-opening the document: CmdUtils::ProcessScheduledCmds (ICommand::kLowestPriority); This forced InDesign to completely close the document before re-opening it again. Hope this helps someone else too. :) - Jackeen

I am having the same problem with InDesign CS4 version,
I have tried the following:
IDocFileHandler::Close() //with kSchedule command
CmdUtils::ProcessScheduledCmds(); //Results into crash
IWindowList::CloseAll()
IDocFileHandler::Close() //with kSchedule command
CmdUtils::ProcessScheduledCmds(); //Results into crash
IDocumentList::CloseAll()
IDocFileHandler::Close() //with kSchedule command
CmdUtils::ProcessScheduledCmds(); //Results into crash
IPresentationList::CloseAllPresentations()
IDocFileHandler::Close() //with kSchedule command
CmdUtils::ProcessScheduledCmds(); //Results into crash
is Three anything else that could work.

The padlock under 'Directory Utility' isn't functioning

Hello everyone.
I am the only one who will use my MacBook (running 10.6.2), and my account is 'admin'.
If I need to enable the root user, I know I should go to:
(1) System Preferences
(2) Accounts
(3) Login Options
(4) Network Account Server: Join...
(5) Open Directory Utility...
(6) Edit --> Enable Root User
But between the processes (5) & (6), I previously have to click the lower left padlock in order to make changes.
But now, the padlock is always open. So I locked it, and it is locked at THIS moment.
After restarting my Mac, the padlock is open again, how come??
Thanks in advance!

*I think I have to re-type my message again in order to make my situation clear: *
Hello everyone.
I am the only one who will use my MacBook (running 10.6.2), and my account is 'admin'.
(I have an only account called 'Michael' and it is set as 'admin')
If I need to enable the root user, I know I should go to:
(1) System Preferences
(2) Accounts
(3) Login Options
(4) Network Account Server: Join...
(5) Open Directory Utility...
(6) Edit --> Enable Root User
But between the processes (5) & (6), it SEEMS that I have to click the lower left padlock in order to make changes initially.
But now, no matter how many times I lock the padlock, when I log out and log in again, the lock is open again.
But when I lock it, yes it is locked, but just at THIS moment.
After restarting or log out my Mac, the padlock is open again, how come??
(I have a 'fresh back-up' after the clean installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and iLife '09 on my external FireWire HD, and I boot into it to check whether I have to click the lower left padlock in order to make changes. I find that between the processes (5) & (6), there is no need for me to type my password in order to unlock the padlock.)
Thanks in advance!

How to close external programs?

Hi there,
in vbs is a command "ExtProgram(ExtProgramName, ExtProgramArg)" to
start external programs. But how to close external programs when
they finished its work? Is there a vbs-command for it? Is there a way
when calling "cmd.exe" with a proper parameter?
Martin Bohm

Hello Martin!
Yes, with the tool 'tasklist' in the same directory.
The problem is that it is not easy to query from script. I tried it in the following script. Perhaps not perfect espacially because a command interpreter pop up every time you call the function.Option Explicit
If IsDIAdemRunning() Then
Call MsgBox( "At least one DIAdem is running!" )
Else
Call MsgBox( "No DIAdem at all!" )
End If
Function IsDIAdemRunning()
Dim oWshShell
Dim oExec
' Execute via Shell Object
Set oWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = oWshShell.Exec( "C:\windows\system32\tasklist.exe /FI ""IMAGENAME eq DIAdem.exe""")
' wait until tasklist is finished
Do While oExec.Status = 0
Pause(1)
Loop
' no Standard Output -> no DIAdem running
IsDIAdemRunning = Len(oExec.StdOut.ReadAll) <> 0
End Function
A better solution might be possible via WMI.

SSL & iChat Accounts Set-up Through Directory Utility

I am having a problem with iChat when connecting clients to the services on my server via Directory Utility.
Once set-up through Directory Utility, I launch iChat and cannot get into the account automatically set-up by the server. It just says "Disconnected Unexpectedly".
I can create a brand new account in iChat and it connects fine. The difference is that the account "managed by the system administrator" is set to "Use SSL" using Port 5223. If I create a new account, it uses Port 5222 with no SSL.
Does anyone know where this "Use SSL" option is set on the server (and how I can turn it off)?
I can have my users connect manually, but I'd rather have the server automatically manage buddy lists and stuff like that.
Thanks for any ideas.

I think I solved this.
For anyone else with this problem, you can change these settings in Workgroup Manager>Preferences>Details. Edit com.apple.iCHat.Managed. Change Often>XMPPAccount>AutoDiscoverHostAndPort> to integer:0 and UseSSL to integer:0.
This was not my problem, though. My real issue is caused by a case inconsistency in my hostname. Due to settings in NetBIOS and DNS on my network, I had to give the host an all caps name. iChat is looking for a lowercase name. This can also be fixed in Workgroup Manager>Preferences.

I want know how to close the time capsule the "DHCP"

Dear Sir,
I want to know how to close the "dhcp" on time capsule. Tks!
Br,
William

If you are on Lion download the utility that actually works, 5.6 as v6 is useless.
Go to manual setup, go to the Internet tab, go to DHCP, turn it off.
That will then require you to manually set dhcp or use a different dhcp server but pointing back to the TC as gateway. If you are using something else as main router, just bridge the TC, that will automatically turn off DHCP.

Replacement for Directory? (Not Directory Utility)

On 10.5, there was an application called Directory that let users edit their personal information stored on a directory server. How is this operation supported in Snow Leopard? I don't see any way to edit the user's Open Directory data using the Address Book.

greetings,
while poking around an iMac at a Fry's electronics store, i ran across the "directory" app and started it. it looked a little like the address book app, but with more options. that mac was running 10.6.0.
i work at a large company and decided to try the directory app at work. but i couldn't find it on my MBPro w/ 10.6.2 this morn and decided to search for it on the forum to see if there was any info... my company uses ldap, but only the phone numbers and email addresses show up in the ldap search in address book. years ago, i'd talked to a couple IT people at work, and they thought there needed to be some extra configuration in apples ldap set up to see the rest of the info. to set up the basic ldap interface, we have to use a long string with "=", and "dc" a variety of variable names that parse out the domain. suffice it to say, nobody every got farther than the basic ldap interface in the ldap config. i was hoping this "directory" app my help me go a little farther.
i found the "directory utility" in the system/library/coreservices, mentioned in one of the other posts. when i start it, it is obviously not the directory app i saw in on the iMac yesterday.
i looked one of my older computers with 10.5 and found it there. i copy it over and try it...
anyway, my primary message for this thread is that i did see it on an iMac with 10.6. perhaps it came with selecting some custom option in the 10.6 install disk... perhaps not. maybe someone knows if it is available as part of a custom install, like adding developer tools or something? if i have time to look into the developer tools and find it, will post a follow up...
if the directory app is not in 10.6, my suspicion is that apple may have embedded the features in other apps, like the address book. for example, the ldap search results has changed in 10.6 address book. in 10.5, the ldap search results listed all names that matched and included either the phone number or the email address (but not both). it had a selectable option to view either phone numbers or addresses. in 10.6, the ldap search results gives a like of names that match, without showing any additional info (no addresses or phone numbers). after selecting one name in the list, the next panel to the right looks just like a standard addressbook vcard, with the name, phone and email all showing in the same panel. basically, the ldap look up display looks just like any "card" in the local address book. i find this a big improvement.
if i could only get it to display the rest of the ldap info, like office location, etc., i'll really be happy... i don't suppose anyone has a suggestion for this?
