Managed Computers or Computer group don't work!

Hi,
We have a mainly wireless network with all computers bound to OD. However, we can't seem to enable managed preferences like Applications and or Log On at the computer level or group of computers level.
All preferences seem to only work at the User or Group level. Does anyone have any comments?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve
First thing I would check is to make sure client machines have the /LDAPv3/ServerIPorFQDN listed in the Authentication and Contacts Search Order (Directory Utility). The way I do this is to bind the client hardware first and then add them to the computer list. As you configure hardware mcx there is a slight delay and you should see the login window display the list of users. Ideally you should restart the clients for hardware mcx to fully populate.
Hope this helps?
Tony

Smart groups don't work in Maverick

Smart groups don't work in Mavericky

Apparently smart list names work, but they do not show the expanded list of names to the sender. However, the recipeints do see the expanded list of names. If you Control+Click on the Smart list name in Contacts and select send email from the context menu, the sender does see the expanded list of names. This looks like an "oops" to me. I suggest you report it to Apple here.

HT204053 I tried to download some music to my new computer, when I tried, it said that the apple id was used before on 5 other computers. The computers it was used don't work any more. What do I do ? I don't want to lose all the music I purchased.

I want to know how to remove other computers from i tunes that are no longer working.

Hello DJSmithLaner,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have authorized five computers, but you no longer have access to all five computers.
You can deauthorize all the computers associated with your Apple ID and then authorize the computers you still use.
Use these steps to deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID:
Deauthorize all computers
After you authorize two computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once a year. You should deauthorize all your computers in these cases:
If a computer doesn't work anymore
If you don't have one of your computers
If you used 5 authorizations and want to authorize a new computer
To deauthorize all your computers, follow these steps:
Click to open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID), or follow these steps:
Open iTunes and click iTunes Store.
Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
Click your Apple ID and select Account.
Click Deauthorize All.
The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than two authorized computers.
Once you have deauthorized all the computers, use these steps to authorize the computers you have access to:
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
You can find those steps and more information at the following link:

Export and Import Computer Groups

Two Monday mornings in a row the Open Directory on our Intel-based Xserve's Mac OS X 10.5.7 Server had failed. This would mean that users who were supposed to have specific access right to folders and share points on other Xserve file servers couldn't get their files or had full access instead of restricted access. The first Monday a restart resolved the issue. The second Monday a restart did not resolve the issue and we opened a case with AppleCare Enterprise Support. We got it up and running again but it failed on Friday during the day. Another call the AppleCare Enterprise Support had me export all my users, user groups, computers and computer groups as a backup.
In the end, I had to do an erase and install of Mac OS X 10.5 server and I updated right to 10.5.8. AppleCare pointed me to the (now Snow Leopard) documentation and told me that now that the server was running and nothing was "broken" and they could not continue to support me. It was up to me to figure out how to restore everything from the documentation. Unfortunately, that document has NOTHING in it about restoring computers or computer groups. It only documents users and user groups. Our user groups were restored with the import of the previously exported list. However, all of the computers in our computer groups appear in the membership list as "Not Found". The preferences/settings for the group were restored but are not being applied to any computers. This means that portable users probably no longer have "mobile" accounts so they can log in off the network and now the Software Update is wide open (although most users are not administrators).
Is there some trick I'm missing to get the computers back into their groups automatically? I can add them manually but I have 400 and can't tell from the list of workstation numbers which are laptops and which are desktops.

Hi Tapojyoti,
>>1. Is it correct that "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0?
Yes, WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is not supported in Windows Server 2012R2 by default. We may try to rebuild it in Windows Server 2012R2. For detailed information about how the rebuiled, please refer to the readme document of the WSUS 3.0 API Samples
and Tools.
>>2. Is "WSUS 4.0 API Samples and Tools" available?
No, I can't find the WSUS API Samples and Tools for 2012R2.
>>3. Is there any alternative way in WSUS 4.0 to export and import XML file consisting "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" configurations?
As I have mentioned above, due to WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is released with source code, we can try to rebuild it in the Windows Server 2012R2.
If it doesn't work, as a workaround, we can configure the new WSUS server as the replica server of the existing WSUS server. After the synchronization, change the server mode to stand alone.
Best Regards.

Managed preferences: computer prefs work; user prefs don't work on Lion clients.

OK, so I'm running into a similar problem as before, but in reverse. On Snow Leopard clients, all of my MCX preferences work perfectly (computer and user). On Lion clients however, only computer/group preferences show up. User/group preferences are nowhere to be seen.
Server: OSX 10.6.8, OD (no AD)
Snow Leopard and Lion clients.
All clients bonded with server.
Most other services work.
Stuff I've tried:
Clearing/flushing MCX caches, unbonding/rebonding clients, restarting clients.
Deleting/recreating users and groups.
Restarting server.
Turning off all computer/group MCX preferences (so that only user preferences remained). No difference--accounts became unmanaged.
Goals:
Set Group sharepoint to automount for all users.
Set a Yearbook sharebpoint to automount for members of Yearbook group.
Set various preferences to Always Managed for students.

Lots of discoveries.
The problem isn't MCX preferences.
It was a combination of two things.
The preferences hierarchy was cancelling out some of the things I wanted to do.
The Lion clients weren't reacting nicely to my custom Group folder. I was following Wazza's Server Notes on creating a universal Group folder to share between user groups. The Snow Leopard clients were fine with this; the Lions weren.
Solution: It's a little bit of a hack, but I added my Groups folder to the Login as a simple AFP URL instead of ticking the "Add Group Share Point" box, and I did it from the computer groups instead of the user groups.
Bonus: Other MCX user settings are working now, and I'm a happy camper.

Managed (mcx) preferences ONLY works for Computer Groups (Lists)

AD Server 2008 R2 with extended schema.
Macs (ML 10.8.5) bound to AD, mcx settings were created for Computer Groups , User Groups (AD security groups), Users
but ONLY Computer Lists settings apply on the local machine (ANY, not just one)
I can see it with mcxquery
Anybody has an idea why that could be & how to sort it, so it DOES apply to user, user groups as well?
Seb

Turned out that my user existed as LOCAL user (same name/pass as AD)
In that way ONLY Machine MCX applies
Renaming local user & login with AD user applies Preferences correctly

The computer I use at work is a PC. I know you are allowed to install the programs on two computers, one work computer and one laptop. My laptop is a Mac. Is it possible to install the second copy on a Mac?

I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum for this question, but I don't know where else to ask about installing on cross platforms. So, the computer I use at work is a PC. I know you are allowed to install the programs on two computers, one work computer and one laptop. My laptop is a Mac. Is it possible to install the second copy on a Mac?

Which Adobe product exactly?
Cloud: yes.
Creative Suite: no.

Every day, my keyboard and track pad don't work, so I have to shut my computer off and start it back up. It does this multiple times a day. What can I do to make it stop doing this?

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library. You lose nothing.
You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
You MUST deauthorize all.
You have the only answer there is.

Mail's sounds don't work after the computer has awakened

This has been reported before for previous versions of OS X but, alas, it seems that the problem prevails in 10.9 as well. If the computer goes to sleep and then awakenes, Mail's sounds don't work. You have to quit and restart Mail. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Also look at Settings>General>Sounds and make sure that all sounds have been turned on. And Settings>Notifications - check the settings in there for FaceTime and iMessage.
