Is this normal? "There are currently no approval tasks assigned to you."

Our site owners encounter the following situation:
- We are using sites based on "Publishing site with workflow" template.
- We have used Owners (Permission Level=Full Control) for site managers and Visitors (Permission Level=Read) for everyone on domain. We also did not add usernames directly, but instead used an AD group (which was added to the SharePoint Owners group).
- There is currently no users in Approvers (Permission Level=Approve) group.
In this situation when someone from Owners grope creates a page and clicks Submit, he sees Approve and Reject buttons. However he is not able to Approve either Reject and gets "There are currently no approval tasks assigned to you".
I have added the AD group we have used for Owners to Approvers group, the site manages still were not able to Approve (with same error message).
The situation finally got fixed after I have added a user directly with his username to the SP Approvers group. Adding any user directly with his/her username fixes this partially: then the task is indeed created, but someone from Owner group (that was not
in Approvers group when task was created) still can not approve by clicking on Approve button, but he can take over the Task from Task List and then approve...
To my knowledge all this happened because there was indeed no approval task created (that is what actually error indicates). But still I am little bit confused about 2 things:
- Why someone with Full Control permission can not approve/reject a page (in the end that is just an item from the list with a workflow activated on it)
- Why there were no task created (I would expect that if there is no one in Approvers group, the tasks would be created for other users with Approve permissions, for example through Full Control right; also situation when there was an AD group is strange,
why not to create a task assigned to that AD group).
Just wondering about other thoughts on this behaviour.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tofig,
As you rightly said, this behaviour is by design.
As far as I understand, the owners need not be given the approver permission considering them to be mostly from technical background. They may not necessarily be good at content authoring and design and keeping them away from the approver group may
avoid any language related goof-ups (punctuations, grammatical errors etc.)
On the other hand, if they are good at content authoring, the site owners can be included in the Approver group, to avoid getting this message. This message also goes away once any of the user under Approver group, approves the changes.
Cheers :)

HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

"Error Message" "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request"

Full Error Message
"(shared network name)is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request"
When trying to enter via "Map Network Drive" and click "Connect using different credentials", once entering the credentials, error
"The Network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share."
As I am not particularly tech savvy, am not the one who set up this network drive, I dont want to interfere with it too much. I simply want to be able to get a basic understanding of the issue. We had set up a previous share, since deleted, that allowed
us to have a shared folder to work on documents between the US and Ireland. This new share has been working fine up until yesterday, when we got the above error messages when trying to access the share. Later in the day, it just worked again. Today, I go to
open the folder and the same error messages turned up, what could be going on??

Hi Tomas,
Did your computer join the domain? How did you access that shared resource?
Please turn off your firewall temporarily and type the correct UNC address to access for test:
\\servername\sharename \file_path
If it doesn't work, use the IP address of the remote server when you try to connect to the network share.
Meanwhile, please read this reference:

Changing network password...There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request in Windows 8 and 8.1 Enterprise

We currently are running Windows 7 in our enterprise environment. Everything works as expected when the user tries to
change their network password via crtl+alt+del, change a password. We are now testing and trying to deploy Windows 8.1 to a test group and are running into an issue when any AD user tries to change their network password. The user can logon to the
PC just fine when the PC is on the domain, however as soon as they go to change their password they are getting the error "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request". The end result is that the user can not change
their password. We tried this via connected to the dock with a network cable, on corporate wireless, with a Windows 8.1 machine completely patched over with all Microsoft patches, and a Windows 8.1 machine that is not patched and are running into the same
issue. Has anyone ran into this? Is there something that has to be changed on the infrastructure side?

Hi,
Please check the following KB:

To configure the Password Replication Policy for an RODC, a member of the Domain Admins group is required.
By default, RODC's do not cache any user or computer passwords, neither a user or computer will be able to authenticate. You can however specifiy that their passwords be cached either by including a group or specific user in the Password Replication Policy

There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request

I am trying to recover from a catastrophic SBS 2008 disk failure.
This machine was a stand-alone Domain Controller, and as luck would (NOT!) have it, both disks in a RAID1 configuration failed in rapid succession. Therefore, all I have is server backups to work with.
I have tried many permutations to get this data restored and the domain functional again, but so far, no dice.
I have successfully restored the system disk data from the most recent backup, but when I go to boot the system, I get a reboot loop. When I tell it not to reboot on error, it gives me:
S c00002e2 Directory Services could not start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Error Status: 0xc0000001. Please shutdown this system and
reboot into Directory Services Restore mode, check the event log for more detailed information.
When I reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, the system quickly says that AD is clean, but doesn't take me to a command prompt, it takes me to the login screen. When I try to log in as Domain admin, it says:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request
And I'm stuck. Unless I can somehow find out what the local admin credentials are, I can't get in to the system.
I have removed the disk and put it in a Hard drive enclosure, so I can access the files.
At first, I had some complaints about the disk driver, so I found the correct driver version from Intel to circumvent that problem when doing the restore.
I can boot from the installation disk, but I can't use wbadmin from there in the restore mode.
Right now, I'm trying an earlier backup, but something tells me I might have some real trouble here. This has turned in to quite the mess.
I have also tried reinstalling the OS to a new RAID array, but am loath to try putting the backup on there for fear I will be taken back to square one.
Do I have to start from scratch and recreate the domain and rejoin all the computers to it, or do I have a better alternative?
I have actually restored a SBS 2008 stand-alone DC from backup before, but that was RAID 5, so slightly different. I seem to remember having some driver headaches with that, but I did overcome them by getting into recovery and replacing the driver files
on the disk. Tried that here, but still no luck.

i have acquired windows office 2011 for my macbook but unable to open it. There are currently 3 files in the folder, 1 of which seems to be the actual program which is a hfs file. iv tried looking for programs to help me open it but failed.
when double clicking on the image it says unable to open and gives me the option to search the app store.
any help would be much appreciated
Adam

Well, first, just make sure it's the Mac version and not the Windows version (which indeed would not run on your Mac). You say "Windows Office" which is why I mention it. I think you probably just mean "Microsoft Office" though.
Next, is this on a disk (DVD), or did you purchase and download it from the Microsoft site?

"There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." when trying to access a shared folder in domain environment.

Hi,
I already have a windows server 2003 working as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and now I created another windows server 2012 to work as an Additional Domain Controller (ADC).
- PDC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS + DHCP)
- ADC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS)
For testing purposes, I shutdown the PDC and let the ADC up and running. Now, Whenever I try to access a shared folder on any server in the domain, I got this message "\\x.x.x.x is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."
Actually, the replication of AD objects and DNS records between the PDC and ADC is done successfully. I also can resolve names using the ADC's DNS. Also, I can ping servers hosting the files I want to access.
Appreciate your help.

The PDCe is required for a lot of services, to include DFS.
Turn the PDC back on and try again. If it's still not working, ensure the file server has the correct DNS entries on the NIC.
I think I see what you were trying to test. The issue is that not all DCs are equal. Yes, they hold the same information, but some DCs do extra work. That is why FSMOs exist.
Let me know how it goes.

There are currently no logon server

Hi, when a computer joins a domain, by the time that this user has been using the computer for sometime his/her credentials should be cached on the computer for offline access, right? But why some of our users experienced "There are currently no logon
server" error message. The only solution is for them to come back in the office to tap to the network but how about for remote users? Is there a backdoor we can set so that this user can access. We don't want to give the local administrator password since
we used this only for installations, etc.
Thanks
Jeff

Right if the user is not connected to the network and your DCs cannot be reached.
To make this work, you need to make sure that cached credentials are not disabled: http://www.itworld.com/article/2779749/windows/how-to-disable-credential-caching-on-client-computers.html

My EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens has developed serious lens creep. Is this normal or are seals bad or ?

My EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens has developed serious lens creep. Is this normal or are seals bad or ? I don't recall it being an issue at first.

Does it happen? You bet. But is it normal? No. However most zoom lenses of this type will creep sooner or later if you use it a lot.
Depending on how old it is, you may get Canon warranty to service it. They can tighten it up. My 24-105mm f4 L does that too.
I just live with it as this lens has seen a lot of duty.
This is actually a pretty nice lens. I was thoroughly impressed with the one I got to try.

My iPhone5 prompts while setting up "This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you are attempting to use.Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier" or "Request that this iPhone be unlocked" How can I unlock my new iPhone5 to function properly?

That means that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
Where exactly did you get this "new" iPhone 5?

Sounds like you are trying to use an iPhone that is locked to a particular
wireless carrier with the sim from another wireless carrier. Contact the wireless
provider that the iPhone is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if
you qualify. Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to can unlock
it.

It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone.

Your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken before and through the update it locks back to the original carrier. Only the original carrier can unlock the iPhone. You have to contact them and find out what the procedure you needs to follow.

Is this normal? "There are currently no approval tasks assigned to you."
