Mac OS X Server File Shares and Active Directory Users

About ready to pull my hair out on this one...
We have a department that only uses Macs. At the moment, it's a hodgepodge of different setups. We were able to convince the department to standardize, and purchase a Mac Mini Server. To keep things a bit simpler, we are setting up their department shares on the server as well.
To make my life simpler (or so I thought...) I decided to bind the OS X Server to our AD, and use the AD users/groups to allow access to the shares. The OS X Server app lists all of our AD user and groups, and I can apply them to the shares, however, when we try to access the share, it fails.
I don't think the server is talking to our AD correctly.
I can login to the Mac Server with my network account, my network account works for accessing Server.app, but nothing I've tried will allow our Mac or Windows clients to access the shares with the AD credentials. The log file comes up with:
mccsrvrmac.mcc.local smbd[441]: check_account - [7]: [permission denied] pam_acct_mgmt
Also seeing this:
mccsrvrmac.mcc.local kdc[57]: Asked for LKDC, but there is none
A bit of background: We added this Mac to the domain once before, realized that the HDDs weren't setup in a RAID config, so wiped it and reinstalled. I did remove the computer account before rebinding.
Any help is appreciated!

I figured this out. In Mountain Lion Server, it doesn't matter if you give the user rights to a shared file or folder, if the user doesn't have access the File Sharing service, they can't get it. I had to find the specific users in the Server app under the AD in the Users tab, and give them rights to the File Sharing service. I think you can do this for a whole AD group as well, but I haven't tried.

Unable to access server files shares with Active Directory Users

Quick breakdown of my issue.
I have setup a Yosemite file server running the latest version of Yosemite and Server.
File sharing in Server.app is enabled and shares have been created
The server is bound to my company's Active Directory and you can directly login to the computer via AD credentials.
The big issue is this, unless the user has directly walked up to my server and logged into it at least once, they cannot authenticate to the file shares via their AD credentials.
For example: Administrator (me) I can login and access all file shares without issue.
Jane Smith (SMITH) who has actually walked up to my server and logged in via her AD credentials, can also access all file shares. (That she has access to)
John Doe (JDOE) who has not logged into the server in anyway, cannot authenticate to the server file shares at all (even though I have granted him permission) He just gets an "Access Denied" message.
I have gone into Directory Utility and changed the search order to give AD priority and this still doesn't resolve the problem.
We have unbound the server from AD and added in back again and still not able to resolve.
If you open Server.app and go to add someone from AD to a file share, it finds the AD user quickly and everything looks right. but still unable to authenticate to the server if they haven't directly logged into it before?
All of the documentation and google articles I have found say my server is setup correctly, any help would be greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

What do I need to do to enable Active Directory users to authenticate to AFP shares in 10.8 server?

We recently upgraded from 10.6 server to 10.8 server and are having trouble with AFP shares and Active Directory. We have shares on each of our OS X servers that should be mountable by any Active Directory user at the site the server resides. In 10.6, this worked beautifully. Simply adding the appropriate AD groups with appropriate permissions to the ACL of the folder(s) being shared worked without a hitch. In 10.8 server, this is not working. Permissions are defined correctly (as far as I can tell), the server is bound to AD, but yet no AD user who should have access can mount the share. When attempting to mount the share on a 10.6 client, the user gets the short and simple "You entered an invalid username or password. Please try again." On a 10.7 client, the window shakes.
What confuses me even more is that no local users can mount the share as well. I try as our admin account, I receive the following error message on our 10.6 clients:
Actually, as I was forumulating this post, logging in as the server administrator account is now working...???!!!
This was the error message we were receiving on 10.7 clients before it magically started working:
In any case, authenticating as an AD user is still no go. Any ideas?

I had something similar to this. In the name field put in DOMAIN\username rather than just the name.

Setting disk quota on Mac server for Active Directory users

I'm having trouble setting disk quotas for Active Directory users with home folders on our Mac server.
I've enabled disk quotas on the disk I'm putting home folders on, and I can set disk quotas for local users on the server just fine. But it doesn't seem to work for Active Directory users. I've tried setting disk quotas via Workgroup Manager and via the command line using edquota. But when I use the repquota command there is no quota entry for the AD user. I've run quotacheck and that didn't help either.
I also understand there's a setquota command but there's no man page on how that works.
Has anyone got disk quota for AD users working.
Better still has someone got a shell or perl script for setting quotas they could post.
Thanks
- Cameron

sorry.. I am soooooo stupid... I have to activate "File Sharing" as well.. for the user everything was already pre-activated, not for the AD users, I just saw the Time Machine checkbox grayed out ...

Apple Mail Server and Active Directory

Has anyone had any luck in using Active Directory (2003) as the directory service with an Apple Mail Server? We're testing it out, but we're unable to enable mail services for users on teh Mac server.
If anyone has tried this and can offer up some tips, I'd be grateful!
Dell Latitude D620 Other OS

Me too!
I also discovered that Mac users who have valid accounts in AD 2003 can't have an email account in WGM enabled for them (WGM acts like its enabling email but then reverts back to "disabled"). I assume the account must be configured in the Active Directory Users and Groups admin tool before it can be enabled in WGM on the OS X email server, but I havent had any luck getting it to work yet.

Not able to open active directory user and computer in windows server 2008r2

Hi All techies,
i would like to know one issue which i am facing mostly, i have created 5 virtual machine all with window server2008r2 and one windows 7 on vm-ware now when ever i start my virtual machines everything going rite but when i try to open active directory user/
computer or domain and trust i get a following error "data from active directory user and computers is not available from dc(null) bcoz unspecified error" even when i chk in events log its give me no help, and after 15-30 min everything works good
Please let me know the cause of it and really appreciate it .
Thanks
Atul

You need to ensure that
1. group policy that says "wait for network before logon" is applied to all computers including servers and workstations is applied
2. DNS record exists for all DCs in DNS
3. If there are multiple Domain Controllers in Forests, then they point them as secondary DNS server. This way they will be able to resolve IPs if local DNS server service takes time to start.
As Chris mentioned, you need to start all DCs first, give a time of 5 minutes and then start member servers and workstations for successful logon.

Active directory users and computers wont start on a dc, "the server is not operational"

In our environment, we have 3 dc's
two which run server 2008 (they work perfectly)
and one never off branch dc that runs server 2008 r2.
We have been having some problems where we feel the replication isnt up too speed(stuff could take up to 24 hours to replicate) and now when i tried opening active directory users and computers i am met with this error window:
We have a third party DNS solution.
How do i troubleshoot this issue?

Sun java directory server and Active Directory

We are using two different directory servers Sun java directory server and active directory.
My question is how we can have password synchronization between these two directory servers.
I have checked Sun Java[TM] System Identity Synchronization for Windows 1 2004Q3
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=41537425
It seems that it's supported platforms is only for solaris and windows , but I have installed my Sun java directory server on linux and obviously it doesn't work for me.
I would be grateful if anyone can suggest a solution to work around this situation.
I have checked identity manager , I would like to know that if I can do this using this product.
http://www.sun.com/software/products/identity_mgr/specs.jsp
--regards.
Sara

Yes RHEL 4 is a supported OS with DSEE 6.0.
Identity Synchronization for Windows is a part of DSEE that allows synchronization of users, passwords and groups between Sun Directory Server and Active Directory bi-directionally without altering the users environments, ie it does not require that users change their current habits.
Identity Manager is a complete identity management solution that is targetting enterprise work flow when it comes to user provisioning and de-provisioning, but also allows to build authentication and password change forms that will provision the passwords to many different systems including Sun Directory Server and Active Directory but also IBM mainframes, legacy applications, databases...
If you are implementing a complete identity management solution, then go with Identity Manager. If you need a lightweight and fast solution for just synchronizing users and passwords between Sun DS and MS AD, Identity Synchronization for Windows should be your choice.

Ludovic.

OS X Server and Active Directory

Hi
I'm trying to use OS X Server 10.5 with Active Directory and have got to the stage where I can view AD users and groups in Workgroup Manager and have authenticated on the domain.
However, if I try and change a user's password I get "The password could not be set. The action failed because you are not authorized to perform the operation."
Also, if I try and create an account on the domain I receive the following - "Got unexpected error Error of type eDSNoStdMappingAvailable (-14140) on line 4267 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319/PMMUGMainView.mm".
I can delete accounts using Workgroup Manager and have confirm this has worked by checking in AD so can't understand what's going on.
Any help greatly appreciated!

You should post your question in the OS X Server forums:

Panther 10.4.11 and active directory

Hello Mac friends,
I am learning IT network as a trainee and in my training company, we are desperately trying to bind a powerbook using MAC OS 10.4.11 to the Active Directory's company. I have gathered some precious information on the subject.
I know (or think so?) how to configurate Directory Access. We have configurated our AD in two ways:
- installing the NetWare client service
- disabling, in the Security options of the Domain Controller Policy, "digitally sign communications"
And we have rebooted the server. But at the end of the Directory access configuration, we still have teh same message "UNKNOWN ERROR" (?!?§..?).
About what I can see on the forums, it seems that connecting a Mac to an AD domain is quite a delicate issue.
I would be pleased to read to any of your ideas.
May the force be with us.

Binding a Mac is quite simple, if you use the correct Mac OS X version. My experience in the last months here is that 10.4.10 introduced an error in binding to ADS which was resolved with 10.5.2. So do not use 10.4.10, 10.4.11, 10.5.0 or 10.5.1.
All versions <10.4.10 worked fine, just like 10.5.2 does.
Create an computer account in AD, activate ADS (Directory services) on the Mac, enter domain name (Netbios will be ok, no FQDN needed), supply domain administrator credentials - and that's it.
Be sure when using UNC pathnames to use the FQDN for the host (not just \\servername\share but \\servername.adsdomain\share). Make also sure that the DNS hostname is exactly the same. If you don't, you will have to supply your credentials a second time when connecting to a share.
