Local and Roaming profiles not being created

Hello all,
I'm in need of help and I wondered if there was anyone out there with some suggestions.
The problem is that one of our sites has Netware 5 and Zfd3.2 and there are no longer any roaming profiles or local profiles being created. Volatile user is not used. Roaming profiles go to the users home directory. All file rights are fine. DLU is still working. Novell client on W2K workstations is 4.90. All other sites appear to be OK.
I suspected that the user policy was at fault and so created a test user package and associated a test user to it = same result.
I have checked from top to bottom and compared all settings to other sites and can see no difference or anything unusual. I've been working on this for 2 days now and I'm going grey and bald.
Any suggestions anyone?
I'll buy a pint for anyone with the answer - LOL.
Thanks in advance

Itunes 11 shows zero photos in Aperture and ApertureData.xml not being created in library

I've tried to do some trouble shooting of this problem. I've rebuilt permissions, I've repaired and rebuilt the Aperture library, I've made sure sharing previews is always for iLife and iWork, I've created a new library, switched to it and switched back and I can't get iTunes to see my albums and pictures from my iPhoto library when I try to sync through Aperture. What I have found is when I created the new temporary library and loaded one pic into it, a file in the package contents called ApertureData.xml is created, which isn't created in the iPhoto libary, it has AlbumData.xml. iTunes does recognize the temp library and photo. I deleted the AlbumData.xml, but it was just recreated. It seems Aperture is supposed to be creating a file that it isn't. Any help would be appreciated, I'm trying to migrate from iPhoto to using Aperture exclusively to manage photos and sync with devices. All software is up to date. Thanks.

in case anyone searches and finds this question, but importing by iphoto library to aperture into a new library, I fixed the problem. I do not know how to fix the original issue of the aperturedata.xml not being created in the origianl iphoto library.

Locally cached copy of roaming profiles are being created with username.domainname.00x suffix

First off let me give some background as to where we've come from and how we got to where we are today. In my organazation we initially setup a Win 2k3 domain with roaming profiles. The roaming profiles worked without a problem for about 6 years. We migrated to a Windows 2k8 domain (non-2008 native mode) about two years ago. Profiles have been working fine. We recently did a rollout of 80% of our client machines with newly leased machines. Once we did this, the profile issues have been...interesting to say the least. I've been seeing a couple machines having issues loading their profiles correctly. The users will complain of not being able to use MS Outlook, or they don't have their proper desktop icons on their desktop. These erros can present themselves when the user changes their domain acct. password (per our security policey) or it may happen just out of the blue. The user may be working perfectly fine on Monday, and then log off and on Tuesday when they login to their computer, the user will have these problems. When this is reported to me, I login the computer that is having the issue and I look at the C:\Documents and Settings folder and I'll see sometimes multiple bogus profiles. The profiles have a naming convention of %username%.%domainname%.00X . The .00X will increment up 1 with each bogus profile. Each of these bogus profiles will have only the local settings folder in them. In order to fix this problem, we typically delete all the local profiles and let the computer pull the server copy back down. Can someone please shed some light on this for me. Thanks.

I have the exact same issue. All my machines are SP3 as well. I have tried UPHClean and it makes no difference. It's completely random when the username.domain.000 accounts start appearing and accounts become corrupt causing the same issue with outlook or a different set of desktop icons. After almost 3 months of having to reset user profiles (we have 1700 AD accounts and 3 IT guys), here's what I've found to this point.
WINLOGON.EXE is the culprit. UPHClean doesn't appear to work well with SP3 or this particular version of WINLOGON. WINLOGON.EXE is locking (handle) the profile directory itself.
7F8: File (RW-) C:\Documents and Settings\(User Directory)
You cannot even run a batch script or something to "restart" winlogon to unlock the folder because it's a system process. When the user logs back in, the pc sees there is already a user profile folder there so it creates a new one with the domain name, rinse and repeat and you get:
Username
Username.Domain
Username.Domain.000
Username.Domain.001
These will go on forever unless you use DELPROF in your GPO as a Computer/Windows/Startup script to remove all "USER ONLY" profiles from the docs and settings folder. This works great other than now, users seem to randomly loose their favorites. This is about the most discussed roaming profile issue on the internet but not a single person nor group of persons has created a 100% working fix for it. It's been a massive headache for me and my guys and I know thousands of other IT guys have or are still struggling with it.
PLEASE Microsoft, fix this winlogon issue so it will release the user profile directory when the user logs out. PLEASE.

Local and roaming profiles in Samba

The logon path setting in my smb.conf is enabled and it works fine, but I do not want to use roaming profiles for all users.
So, and according to the documentation I have read, I use the pdbedit command to set the profile path for an specific user.
Theoretically, the command "pdbedit -u <username> -p=" should set the profile path to a null string, but and error saying that the value is invalid is shown.
How can I use both kind of profiles in my server?
Thanks in advance.

CP and BP is not being created in E-Recruitment after PFAL

Dear Experts,
I need your valuable insight into the below issue:
We are implementing SAP E-Recruitment in our company and we have a stand alone system for e-rec, i.e. I2-B scenario. Release 604.
We defined the process model, filter groups as described in note and many threads here. We are able to transfer (distribute) objects O, S, C, Q and QK using PFAL. When I am trying to distribute object P (IT0000, 0001, 0002, 0006, 0009, 0105 and 1001), object P is getting created with PA infotypes but system does not create the CP, BP and NA objects in E-Rec. My understanding after reading the documentation and some threads on SCN is that system should create these objects (CP, BP and NA) on distributing Object P from ECC.
Do we need to Run the HRALXSYNC program in E-Recruitment to create these objects? We thought of running this program as well but the Employee Check box in the selection screen of the program is disabled. Even after implementing BADI HRALX_HRALXSYNC_BADI it remains disabled.
Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated...
Kind Regards
Syed Aijaz

Dear Salil,
Thank you for the quick response.
I had considered maintaing the number ranges for CP in E-Recruitment, but had two concerns/doubts about it:
1. We have already generated CP in ECC for all Persons and the numbers are taken from an internal range Subgroup ($$$$) and CPs have their own IDs starting with 5XXXXXXX. Now if I maintain a number range in E-Rec, different from this, would that be an issue? I understand that we need to have the same CP ID in both the systems (ECC and E-Rec). Kindly clarify.
2. We have not maintained any number ranges for other objects (O, S, C, Q, & QK) in E-Rec system. But system has created these objects in E-Recruitment on running PFAL.
Currently we are doing all these settngs in Sandbox system only.
Kindly advise....
Thanks

Tiger Login Freezing, Local and Roaming Profiles

I'm having problems with the login screen. Both server and emac are using the newest 10.4.4 updates and users regardless of logging in to local accounts or accounts on the server are freezing after pressing the "Login" button on the login screen.
generally speaking the user can login at least once per restart. the problem tends to occur if users logout and then attempt to login another user.
wondering if anyone has seen this problem
it only seems to happen with emacs (different gens) running 10.4
imacs and other machines running the same system/image to not appear to suffer the problem.

update:
even updating to 10.4.6 which has become available since the problem first came about there have been no less instances of this happening.
any help would be great.

User Profile Disk not being created

Hi,
I created a new 2012 VDI collection. Things seems to be working fine except for the User Profile Disks are not being created. From my understanding a .vhdx prefixed with the user's SID is supposed to be created when the user logs into one of the virtual
machines from the collection. I can see that a UVHD-template.vhdx" was created correctly but when logging on to one of the deployed virtual machines from the pool there is no other .vhdx files (except the template).
From what I've read the virtualization hosts must have write access to the share (they do). I can't seem to find any other requirements. I've searched through event viewer and found nothing. I'm not sure which logs to check on which server.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing?

Hi,
Thanks for your post in Windows Server Forum.
Kindly follow the below mention article and check the necessary steps for creating UPD, try to create new UPD.
1. Working with User Profile Disks on Session-Based Desktop Deployments
2. Easier User Data Management with User Profile Disks in Windows Server 2012
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Flash player 10 and roaming profile

Hi,
Some of my clients are having similar issues since they've upgraded from flash player version 9 to version 10. They all use roaming profile, i.e user documents and settings are stored on the server rather than individual machines.
The problem is that when they log in my application their login is successful but they don't get past that stage. This is because upon login, the application tries to write into a shared object but I believe it fails to do so.
If they revert back to Flash player 9, it's all fine. Client with no roaming profile don't experience this issue.
Therefore I believe there are some changes in Flash player 10 security. What should I do ?
Thanks

Hi !
I knew somebody from Adobe would finally reply
Well, I've actually come across this bug report this afternoon ! And I've asked my client to try the suggested workarounds. That was his reply :
' These work arounds are no good I’m afraid. These work arounds mean we have to mess around with file redirection which we don’t want to do. The reason these work arounds do work is that there is a Desktop folder in the local profile. When you re-direct the Desktop the local Desktop gets moved to the network. If we then re-create a local Desktop folder we break folder re-direction and there is potential for the user to have the wrong desktop displayed, or have files stored locally on their PC not being backed up. '
As you can see he's not so keen to change any network settings.
Do you have any other suggestions ?
Thanks

SHAREid - A local user session could not be created for the assertion

Problem: We have a client trying to federate to our environment using POST profile but we are getting the following error, "RECEIVER: ERROR: A local user session could not be created for the assertion".
I verified that the user exist in the directory and I am able to execute a test successfully as that user.
Thanks.

There is a requirement that the client needs to send an attribute called "traveler" in the assertion. We found out that the problem occurs only when client sends a attribute in the assertion. When the assertion does not include the attribute, there is no issue. Not sure why that is the case as we have other clients sending the same attribute in the assertion.
Here is the AttributeStatement.
<saml:AttributeStatement xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><saml:Subject><saml:NameIdentifier Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified">XXXXXX</saml:NameIdentifier></saml:Subject><saml:Attribute AttributeName="XXXID" AttributeNamespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/claims"><saml:AttributeValue>XXXXX</saml:AttributeValue></saml:Attribute></saml:AttributeStatement>
It does not have <saml:SubjectConfirmation> and <ConfirmationMethod> element. Can that be a problem?
Thanks,
Vinay

Inbox folders not being created from msf files

Last week, I noticed that my Inbox folder files weren't appearing in my profile. I posted a generalized question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/996903
The response I received didn't help that much. The folder I created appeared on the remote mailbox as empty folders.
My mail account is synced via IMAP to a remote Zimbra mail client using STARTTLS. I can view my Inbox. The other folders in my Inbox account are not visible. I can send and recieve messages from my INBOX.
When I select "Manage folder Subscriptions" In the account options, I can see the folders. When I select them, and click the "Subscribe" button, nothing happens.
Inspecting my IMAP directory, I see the following structure:
~/.thunderbird/13zr0oo0.default/ImapMail/mail.<zimbra_account>.com:
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 1238 May 2 10:38 Archives.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 1235 May 2 10:38 Drafts.msf
-rw------- 1 matthewe matthewe 47500385 May 2 09:56 INBOX
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 375885 May 2 10:36 INBOX.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 25 May 2 08:58 msgFilterRules.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 1233 May 2 10:38 Sent.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 0 May 2 10:38 site-errors.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 0 May 2 09:59 Templates.msf
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthewe matthewe 2275 May 2 10:33 Trash.msf
The msf files are created when I click the "Subscribe" button but subsequent Mail files containing the mail data are not (note that non-msf files exist only for "INBOX".)
Removing .msf files and restarting Thunderbird has no affect.
When I launch, the errors console reports the following three errors:
"Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/%7B972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd%7D/chrome.manifest'.
-- There is no chrome.manifest file in my filesystem under /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}"
"While creating services from category 'profile-after-change', could not create service for entry 'Disk Space Watcher Service', contract ID '@mozilla.org/toolkit/disk-space-watcher;1'"
This is reported as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883621 and has been resolved at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=895964 but my system still throws the error. (I have plenty of disk space. Permissions perhaps?)
[JavaScript Warning: "Calendar https://mail.zimbrahostedemail.com/home/matthewe@<zimbra_client>.com/Calendar has a dangling E-Mail identity configured."]
I'm not sure what that means.
I am using Thunderbird 24.5.0 on Ubuntu 13.10

Is your question about files not being created, or because you cannot send and receive mail, or both?

now i updated to 10.3.1 and roaming profile does not work anymore. the local profile gets not copied to the Home-Directory on the server, it doesnt depends, if i have the "Edir Home" set or the real path to the directory.....
where can i start to search for this problem ? i was so shortly to go "productiv".......but no, there is again a delay after 6 Months waiting and testing....:-(
it's so sad ! Zenworks is not that quality product it was.....

hi craig
sorry, about not enough informations.....
- no, all clients are only in the E-Dir
- Clients are Windows XP SP2 with Novell Client 4.9 SP2, but tested also higher ones...
- Home-directory is on a Netware 6.5 SP8
- ZCM Server is SLES 10 SP3 without OES
thanks

COREid Federation Error: A local user session could not be created for the

Hi,
I installed two instances of COREid Federation in my machine. Also installed SiteMinder and LDAP. Source Domain of COREid (8101) uses LDAP as IdMBridge and Destination Domain (9101) uses SiteMinder as IdMBridge. I am trying to access the resource protected by the SiteMinder from the source domain using the URL which is constructed using the pattern given in the PDF:
http://mymachine.domain.com:8101/shareid/saml/ObSAMLTransferService?DOMAIN=DestinationDomain&method=POST&TARGET=http://mymachine.domain.com:8887/Source/Source.html
Assertions are generated and I can see the assertion in the Source domain and transferred to the Destination Domain.
I get the following error in the Destination Domain Shareid Log file:
ERROR - [http10113-Processor3] - RECEIVER: ERROR: A local user session could not be created for the assertion
Please help me to solve this issue?
Note: The Web agent runs on the web server instance 8887.
SiteMinder is able to protect the resource when accessed.

Typically that error occurs when the destinations access management system can't find the user based on the SAML attribute. Check to make sure that the attribute that you are matching on matches exactly.
