How to set up roaming profile on Macs using AD like in windows

I can bind the workstations to the domain fine.. But can someone direct me to instructions of how to set up the roaming profiles ?
What steps do I need on the server ? This is what I've done so far.
I already have OU's for the departments and the users have a shared folder inside their department folder.... \\server\shared_folder\user
I have done the usual things with AD as far as the profile settings on the windows server.
Am currently running Mac OS 10.5 and above
My windows AD runs on windows server 2008
All my windows workstation are able to use roaming profile without a problem.
So far i have tried the so many avenues including..
Make sure the Mac systems are joined to the domain controller and an ADS user can log on successfully. Use "Directory Utility" under "Utilities" menu to join the system to the domain.
Backup all the contents from /Users to the storage or somewhere locally.
Configure automount - Go to "Utilities" -> "Directory Utility" - Select the domain and click "Show advanced options" - Click "Mounts" tab and add automount as mentioned below. Remote NFS URL: nfs://server_name/share_name/path/to/profile/directory Mount location: /Users Additional mount parameters: -P,-T Apply the settings and this will mount the remote shared folder or we can name it as Roaming Profile Space - under /Users directory
Enable roaming profile - Go to "Utilities" -> "Directory Utility" - Select the domain and click "Show advanced options" - Click "Services" -> Select "Active Directory" and click "Show advanced option" - Click "User experience" tab and select the option "Create mobile account at login".
Reboot the system and log in as any ADS user. The Roaming shared folder will be mounted and the user profile will be created on the shared folder
Can anyone kindly assist me

  • Set up roaming profiles for mac and windows

    So I have a a few macs and some windows pcs. I am using windows server 2008 for the server and I was able to bind the macs to the server. I also did set up the romeing profiles on the server. The thing I am having a issue with is I will like it so when someone saves a file on there mac desktop and they login to a windows computer it will show that file on the windows desktop. If anyone can help me on how to set this up please do

    Unless you have 3rd-party apps allowing Windoze to read and write Mac OS Extended, or your Mac to read & write NTFS, your options are ExFat or Fat.   See #9 in Using Disk Utility.

  • How to set which User Profile attribute is used for email messages?

    I am having a problem setting up User Profiles in SharePoint 2013. I have users that are both (1) Active Directory users authenticated using Windows Authentication, and (2) Active Directory users, existing in another distinct OU, authenticated via ADFS (active
    directory federation services).
    My problem is with the ADFS users. I want to have the users unique id be their logon email account ([email protected]), but want to populate their work email attribute with their "actual" or real email account.
    If I have an OU (External Users) and within that OU (XYZ Company Users), AND my domain is contoso.com, then I want to add a user such that they have a unique id in active directory ([email protected], but want their email address to be whatever
    it is (I.e. [email protected]).
    MY PROBLEM: I can setup the User Profile Synchronization service to map the properties perfectly, but when I I try to add/share a user in a SharePoint site, the user's account email ([email protected] is sent the message, not their "Work Email"
    ([email protected]).
    QUESTION: How do I get SharePoint to use the "Work Email" attribute (NOT the account email) of a User Profile when sending email messages?

    Okay, within Active Directory, the user's email IS set to
    [email protected] The "unique value" (Using the account logon name) works just fine. The problem is SharePoint. When I logon with another account and choose to share a site with this particular test user, the Email for sharing the site is sent to
    [email protected] (the account logon name), not
    [email protected] (the user's email address)
    How do I get SharePoint to actually use the email address of an AD user, and not use the account logon name when sending notifications?

  • How do I configure roaming profiles to not apply to Domain Admins?

    Hi,
    I have a setup (Windows 2012 R2 on all servers) where roaming profiles and re-directed folders are applied through GPO to our RDS servers.
    We decied to change this so only users, and not Domain Admins will have these settings applied.
    Re-directed folders is a user setting, so that was changed easily, but the roaming profiles is applied to computer object.
    So my question is; how do I configure roaming profiles only for some users (or a security group) and not for Domain Admins?

    Hi Dane,
    >>So my question is; how do I configure roaming profiles only for some users (or a security group) and not for Domain Admins?
    Sorry, this is not acheivable, for computer part policy settings apply to computer accounts, regardless of which user logs onto the computers.
    Best regards,

  • Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Cant we even use the dlls in an application?
    In order to automate Acrobat, you need to have Acrobat installed. There is
    nothing you can do with just the DLLs. As was already stated, Acrobat is
    not licensed for use on a server, but regardless of that, it's also
    not technically suitable for server use. You need to find a solution
    outside of Acrobat to solve your problem.
    It also seems that you don't have a good understanding of what is going in
    inside a PDF file. PDF is a very complex file format, and based on
    your questions
    and followup questions, you need to spend a considerable amount of time
    getting familiar with the PDF file format to understand how color works in
    the PDF context. Reader the PDF spec, while paying special attention to the
    section about color. You will find out that if you want to convert the
    color space of a "PDF file", you actually need to convert the color space
    associated with every single object in your PDF file. That is fairly simple
    for vector graphic and text, but when it comes to images, you may have to
    convert the image data. Once you have a good understanding of what it is
    you need to do within the PDF file, then you can start looking for tools
    that allow you to do that. Again, Acrobat and therefore the Acrobat SDK is
    not suitable for this task. If you want to stay with Adobe products take a
    serious look at the PDF Library, which his licensed through Datalogics (
    http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/). As you've mentioned,
    there are other, non-Adobe PDF libraries that you can also use, but this is
    the Acrobat SDK forum, so I won't discuss any of those 3rd party solutions.
    You are wasting your time while looking for a simple solution that does not
    exist.

  • How to set fetchsize of sql Query when using Database Adapter.

    Hi All,
    I am using DatabaseAdapter to connect to database and retriving huge amount of data.For improvement in the performance I want to set the "fetchsize" of sql query. I know fetchsize can be preset in Java using Jdbc 2.0 API.Please let me know how to set this value in BPEL when using DBAdapter?
    Thanks
    Chandra

    I talked to the developer of the db adapter - and he told me this feature will be available in BPEL PM 10.1.3 (which is supposed to be production later this year, and a public beta soon). If this is an emergency I would recommend going throug Oracle support and have them file an enhancement for 10.1.2.0.2

  • How to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.

    Hi,
    I have created a web dynpro application, which is running inside portal. I have created a role called "R1". Inside role R1, i have created 3 workset W1, W2 and W3. and inside each workset i have some pages and iviews.
    My requirement is when user logins to the portal , and when he clicks on role R1 for the first time, a login page should come (so that we can do revalidation), and when he enters his password again in that login page , then only workset W1, W2 and W3 should be visible/accessible to him and after successful revalidation, if he clicks again on role R1, in that particular portal session, than that login page should not come.
    for this, i thought i will set a variable in portal session, whenever user successfully revalidated himself, and if after successful revalidation he clicks again on role R1, i will check in doinit method of webdynpro whether variable is set or not (which i already set on successful revalidation), and if it is set then i will do Donavigation else i will present login page to the user.
    Can anyone tells me how to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.
    thanks

    I have imported a document from my old Windows PC but on the Mac the text is misaligned and the pictures are gobbledygook. It looks fine on the thumbnail

    To view it in an acceptable format, yes.  You can try using an opensource program such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice and see if it yields better results.  However, I'm sure if it would be compatible with a document made with word processing software from 9 years ago, but I would certainly give it a try.

  • How to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script?

    I have tried using bleedoffsetRect but somehow it is not working. Can anybody please help me on how to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script? Any example will be highly appreciated.
    Following is the code I am trying with:
    var _saveName = new File ( root_path +_strFileName+".pdf");
        var _saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
        _saveOpts.printerResolution = 300; 
        var bleedarray = new Array();
         bleedarray[0] =9.00;
         bleedarray[1]=9.00;
         bleedarray[2]=9.00;
         bleedarray[3]=9.00;    
        _saveOpts.bleedOffsetRect = bleedarray;

    I would expect although I've not actually tried this for the bleed off set box to be larger than the artbaord and the first two values to be negative or 0…
    var bleedarray = new Array(-9,-9,artboard.width+9,artboard.height+9);
    Where 'artboard.width' & 'artboard.height' you will have calculated from your file. An Array(9,9,9,9); would not constitute any boxes bounds.

  • How to set request number of info package using start routine

    Hi All,
    I have a specific requirement in which I need to upload only selective request nos from PSA to DSO.
    Any one can suggest how to set request number of info package using start routine or any other mode so that only selective request should proceed using DTP?
    Thanks
    Sangita

    You'll probably want to do this in a start routine.  It is probably not advisable to hard-code the technical name of the InfoPak.  They seem to remain the same upon transport, unlike DTP technical names which are locally generated.
    I would do a SQL select like this in a start routine, and then filter based on the results of the SQL.  You'll probably want to sort the results by date and time, both descending.  Or do a MAX in the SQL.
    Please let me know if this isn't clear.
    select q~rnr q~logdpid q~tdatum q~tuzeit
    from rsreqdone as q
      inner join rsldpio as p
        on p~logdpid = q~logdpid
    where p~objvers = 'A'
    and p~logdpid like 'ZPAK%'
    and p~source = 'your data source'

  • How to set default value of a table using sequence number

    Dear all,
    Does any body know that how to set default value of a table
    using sequence number.
    But I don't want to use trigger to do that.
    Please help!!!!
    Eldon

    Andrew is essentially correct. You can get around the trigger,
    but not the sequence, if (and this may be a very big if) you can
    guarantee that every time an insert is done into the table, from
    whatever source, the statement looks something like
    INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (sequence.nextval,other_columns_values)
