HT201358 Can ARD3 work with the Active Directory setup on a Windows machine and without the need of Open Directory

We need the 'Golden Triangle' setup to work with ARD3 running on a Mac server with client Mac details retrieved from a Windows Active Directory. In this system, the ARD3 will be used to install packages from a Mac OS X server, where the client Mac list is gathered directly from a Windows Active Directory, which is already in place.
So, please guide me whether Apple Remote Desktop 3 is capable of getting client machine details from an Active Directory without the need of re-creating the client Mac list in the Mac server running ARD3.
If ARD3 can not be used in this case, do you recommend any other tools that can resolve our issue.
Thank you in advance.
Sudheesh.

ARD cannot directly obtain client information from Active Directory, no. It may be possible to create a script that would get such information and be able to put it into ARD, but I wouldn't begin to know how to write such a script. You may also be able to bind your OS X Server to ARD and create groups there. This article is obsolete for 10.6 or later but may provide some clues as to how to proceed:

There are a number of third-party systems that can manage Macs that may be able to draw information from AD, such as Casper, LANDesk, and others. Which if any would meet your needs depends on many factors including how many devices you need to manage, whether you're looking for a cross-platform tool, your budget, etc. This is a difficult issue to address in a forum like this since there are so many variables to be considered.

  • I have LabView but I do not have the Calibration and Configuration Palette,and I could not download it, how can I download it or if i cannot,can I work with the NI-DAQ Calibration_1200?

    I have read in a tutorial for the board 1200 that I can calibrate it with the Calibration and Configuration Palette in LabVIEW, but I do not have them and I could not download it to access its libraries, so I can only download the NI-DAQ software,What's my best choice and if it is to download the palette with its libraries, how can download it with them?I'd appreciate your answers

    If you wish to use your 1200 device in LabVIEW, you must download and install NI-DAQ. When you install NI-DAQ, it will ask you if you would like to install support for LabVIEW. By installing this support, you will then have access to the DAQ pallette in LabVIEW. The DAQ pallette requires that you have NI-DAQ installed.
    For more information on installing and using your device, you can refer to the DAQ Quick Start Guide. You can download it from:

  • Cannot get "passwd" to work with pam_winbind (Active Directory/Samba)

    I've have a Samba Active Directory server and AD users can log in to linux boxes. I'd like them to be able to change their passwords from Linux.
    I've set up winbind and PAM and users can log in fine. However, users cannot change passwords.
    I used the PAM configuration as per the wiki, although I note that /etc/pam.d/passwd doesn't include the "system-auth" file that the Wiki instructions describe. I can either paste the "password" entries into /etc/pam.d/passwd or modify it to include "system-auth". I've tried both ways without any luck. Here is the PAM config I have (from the Wiki instructions):
    password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_localuser.so
    password [success=2 default=die] pam_winbind.so
    password [success=1 default=die] pam_unix.so sha512 shadow
    password requisite pam_deny.so
    password optional pam_permit.so
    and here is a typical session
    $ passwd
    Changing password for MYDOMAIN\myuser
    (current) NT password:
    Enter new NT password:
    Retype new NT password:
    passwd: Authentication failure
    passwd: password unchanged
    and the journal (I enabled debug in the above config)

    I've done a bit of searching and have seen others reporting the same "incorrect password or invalid membership" but nothing concreate on how this should be configured. So I'd really appreciate anyone who can share a working configuration...

  • Can wpg_docload work with the embedded plsql gateway?

    Hi,
    Looking at all the sample code with wpg_docload.download_file. Put the following in a plsql region, but it does not work. Is it due to my running with the embedded plsql gateway, rather than http server and mod_plsql?
    Here's the code. The file exists and is a small 213-byte file.
    declare lob_loc bfile;
    v_length integer;
    fname varchar2(100) := 'x.txt';
    begin
    lob_loc := bfilename('CELFILES_9906', fname);
    v_length := dbms_lob.getlength(lob_loc);
    owa_util.mime_header('text/plain', false);
    htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || fname || '"');
    -- close the headers
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    -- download the BLOB
    wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
    end;
    It returns:
    "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Server: Oracle XML DB/Oracle Database Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-DB-Content-length: 213 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
    The filesize is correct and if I comment out the call to wpg_docload.download_file I see:
    "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-length: 213 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="x.txt""
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Tried simply doing the grant, but it did not work. Aside from having a bit of trouble with the loadblobfromfile (had to enumerate all 5 parameters) and also having to specifically do a dbms_lob.open, it worked!
    Here's the final code that worked:
    declare
    lob_loc bfile;
    v_length integer;
    fname varchar2(100) := 'x.txt';
    l_blob blob;
    des_offset number := 1;
    src_offset number := 1;
    begin
    lob_loc := bfilename('CELFILES_9906', fname);
    v_length := dbms_lob.getlength(lob_loc);
    DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(l_blob, FALSE);
    dbms_lob.open(lob_loc, dbms_lob.lob_readonly);
    DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE(
    dest_lob=>l_blob,
    src_bfile=>lob_loc,
    amount=>v_length,
    dest_offset=>des_offset,
    src_offset=>src_offset);
    owa_util.mime_header('text/plain', false);
    htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || fname || '"');
    -- close the headers
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    -- download the BLOB
    wpg_docload.download_file( l_blob );
    DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
    EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
    DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
    RAISE;
    end;
    Thanks Udo.

  • Hi, is there plans Firefox for Android to work with .p12 certificates like desktop versions for Windows, MAC and Linux?

    I used Firefox 26 at Android 4.2.1 and try to sign docs in bank application but receive a message ”window.crypto Error:undefined, TypeError: window.crypto.signText is not a function”.

    Hello Philipp, thank you for your answer.

    My be 'window.crypto.signText' function is not supported in Firefox for Android, so question is there plans browser to work with this function or how it can be enabled.

  • The page won,t open I get the settings were changed by another application message. It keeps appearing to I can't work with the diagnosics

    The page won't open when I click on the firefox icon I go to system preferences for dianostics and "the settings have been changed by another application" I can't close that message to keep on working.

    Are you referring to a wireless router, such as an Airport Express? If so, and you bought a different router, you will need to set up the new router according to their instructions. With my Netgear, I had to go to their online website (they should have the URL listed in the instructions) and set it up there because the software that comes with routers is not compatible with Macs.
    If you're talking about something else, then please let me know - I've just never heard of an Airport modem.

    Welcome to the Apple forums:
    If you are trying to do a standard update to Leopard and you are already running Leopard, you have to choose the archive and install. The standard upgrade is only from Tiger or lower to Leopard.
    After the language screen, at the lower left, I believe, is an "Options" button. Click it and select archive and install.
    This should keep all your present settings, but I would caution you that you shuold NOT do anything unless you have a full backup of your present system.
    You did not specify why you want to reinstall Leopard. Maybe you do not need to do a complete reinstall if you would post your problems.
    Again, don't do anything unless you have a current backup either with TM or CarbonCopy.

  • HT4623 I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.
    And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below

  • I have an iPod G2 with a firewire 400 lead. how can I attach it to my new 13 inch Mac book Pro, is there a 400 to 800 firewire converter. USB lead wont work with the Macbook Pro. iPod used as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go.

    My G2 iPod that I use as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go cannot link with my new 13" Macbook Pro cause it uses a firewire 400 lead. It will not work with a USB lead. Is there a firewire 800 ipod lead or converter available? Can any one shed some light on this please?

    As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
    If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

  • Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

    I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
    Below is a summary of the issue:
    After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
        "Cannot connect to the server at this time.  You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
        "Unable to retrieve all data."
        The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
    Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
    Other Observations   -  
    This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
    Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
    I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
    It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
    I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

    I am sharing my finding.
    1. First install the
    KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
    2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
    These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.
