Mobile account can't login when connected to network

I have a 10.6.3 mobile account set up on a laptop that's bound to an AD domain. The mobile account creation worked great, as expected, and the user was fine for a few days.
Then the user reported that he was no longer able to log in to his mobile account. After troubleshooting a bit, I noticed that if he's NOT connected to the company LAN where the AD domain is located, he can login fine. But if I connect him to the company LAN, the machine complains that his password is wrong (and we've reset the password in AD, so we know it's correct). So if I flip him back off the network, his login works again.
There are many other mobile accounts working on this same LAN that aren't having this problem.
Anyone seen this or know what I might try?
Thanks.

Trying turning on DirectoryServices debugging and see if you can scare up any more data:
sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService
Then monitor
/Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.debug.log
Even without debugging, you might want to look at
/Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.error.log
and
/Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.server.log

Can't see login Account, Only 'Other account' can be login

I changed my SL from 32bit to 64bit. Then it's can't display my login account. and only let me input username and password.
Now I only use ROOT login my leopard. other account can't login.
But my account files still in /home/xxx. It not delete.
Please tell me...How to repair it.
thanks!

If I understand well, you were able to get the user DN. Based on the name, the user account should be directly under your domain (Not under an OU or a Container). So, use ADUC and select your domain. Once done, you should be able to see the user account.

HT1595 My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

I just went through this last night. (Aug 15, 2013)
What I did to get back up and running. This is not the first time I have lost the network connection with my Apple TV 3
Products effected: Apple TV 3 and Home Sharing (My Apple TV 1 was not effected)
Power down (unplug) the Apple TV and power down your router ( in my case, it is a FIOS router, flipping the on/off works fine).
Power both items back up.
At this point, I usually can reenter my Apple ID and PW. and reconnect Home Sharing. But for some reason I was unable to reconnect last night but was able to get it reconnected in the morning. I was jut to tired to deal with it last night.
A new issue that is was able to fix after a good nights sleep.
I did figure out, (after trying to reenter my ID and PW many times and having it tell me that my ID and PW was wrong), that when using the Apple TV on screen keypad to type in the user ID. DO NOT use the ".com" keypad button. Instead type out each character for .com. ( or what ever ending you use for your ID account.)
Once I typed out my full ID and PW. everything is back to 100%

Deleted facebook account, can't login anymore to cancel subscription

Hi,
I recently deleted my facebook account and totally forgot that my spotify premium account is bound to it. Now I can't login any longer with said old account, which makes sense. How do I cancel or transfer my subscription over to the new account? I already wrote to the spotify support, but only a automated message came back. I responded to that no-reply message as suggested somewhere in this forum, but nobody contacted me yet...
What am I supposed to do?

If your account was created with a facebook login (your username will be a 10 digit number) then you'll need to set up a new account, initially using a different email address) then get in touch with the account team and they'll help get things moved over. If you get an automated response directing you back to the community or to the help pages, please reply to it by email and you will hear back from one of the team shortly.
If your account was created with a spotify username and you connected it to facebook later, you just need to disconnect it from facebook - follow the steps in the first part of this FAQ.

Single account on imac can see but cannot connect over network

This one is driving me crazy:
As of this morning I cannot connect to other computers in our network. Using other accounts on the same imac is no problem, but mine simply refuses.
I can see the rest of the network, connect to the internet, print, etc., but if I try to actually connect to another machine I get the error that it cannot find the original item (the error is in Dutch so I cannot give the litteral version)
Network, firewall and sharing settings seem to be the same as the other, working, accounts as far as I can tell.

OK, we found the problem. my permissions were screwed up...

Making an account unable to login, but available over network

I have the same group of employee user accounts on all iMacs in my airport network, but I would like to prevent certain users from logging into certain machines. Changing the account password on the forbidden machine is not the answer, since the users need to access files on the machine through the network (connecting as their own username). Long ago there was a simple way to prevent login to a valid account. Is that still possible?

So it sounds like you want to give other users access for file sharing, but not the ability to log in while physically sitting in front of the machine. If the file sharing is over AFP, a "sharing only" account may be suitable in this scenario:
..."You can share files on your computer with other users on a network by creating a sharing only account. A sharing only account allows users to connect with your computer just like a server. However you cannot physically log into a computer using a sharing only account name like you can with most other accounts."...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11776.html
It also may be necessary to configure individual shared folders appropriately and place the items to be accessed within them (see "System Preferences" > "File Sharing" > "Shared Folders").

Mac's can not see or connect to network resources

Our company network is a windows network. We have a couple of remote users with Mac's. The Mac's connect to the network over a VPN. They can connect to the network through the VPN but can not see or connect to any network resources. What settings am I missing?

My problem is that once the VPN is established and I am on the network, none of the shares or resources are visible or able to be connected to.
VPN gets you connected to the network as if you were physically present in the office, but nothing more. Once you have successfully connected via VPN, you have to perform a seperate step to actually login to the server.
Also, some of the "it just works" aspects, like seeing all the things you can login to, before actually logging in to them, is a feature of Bonjour, which doesn't pass over VPN. You'll probably have to use the Finder Menu GO -> Connect to Server, and then type the server's IP address in manually.

Can't login to ML server network user from a client

Hi,
The computer name on my customer's ML server was changed post OD installation. Now I can't login with network user credentials from a MacBook.
I also see the old server/hostname displayed in workgroup manager under "location" (see attached).
I've tried destroying OD by deleting it in Server app then re-adding it again but it still shows the old name in WGM as shown in the screenshot above.
I suspect this is related to authentication problems. Should I be running a utility like changeDirData.pl to update the old values? If so, what is the syntaxt?
Old name was: server1.stmarys.lan
New name is: server1.local
I ran the following: sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl -i -s 192.168.2.2 -u diradmin -o server1.stmarys.lan -n server1.local
But got an error: cant contact ldap server to get config info

After contacting Apple server support, I was told there were two issues:
1- ".local" cannot be used in a hostname due to conflict with Bonjour
2- Hostnames must have three parts like "server.company.lan" & "server.lan" cannot be used
I wish Apple would inform users with a pop-up about these rules before they waste a lot of time having to re-do everything from scrath. I was lucky enough to have an export of all users.
If these rules are followed from the begining, DNS would auto-configure itself with the appropriate forward & reverse records.

Macbook shuts down when connected to network

My Macbook Pro continues to shut down and restart itself - ONLY when connected to a new network wirelessly. It works fine at our office, but when I take it home or to another network, it starts the shut down/restart

Hi Residae,
I understand you are having issues when connecting your iPod to iTunes. Lets see if the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant resolves this:
iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
If the above does not help, please try the remaining 4 steps.
Thanks,
Matt M.

MS Access connectivity gets slow when connecting insidde network domain

Hello,<o:p></o:p>
We've created an application based on Excel VBA that connects to an access DB located at the file server in our network domain. Now I'm installing
same app in another server for another domain, but the connection is really slow so the app hangs while retrieving information from the .mdb file located at the server.<o:p></o:p>
I created a local environment in my computer to test and realized as as soon as I connect the network cable the connection to the DB get slow, but
when I unplug the network cable the app start to responding as usual.<o:p></o:p>
I'm using Ole DB jet 4.0 with the following connection string:<o:p></o:p>
cnt.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= MasterDB ;Jet OLEDB:Database Password= 12345;"<o:p></o:p>
It seems that the problem it is related to some authentication on the server that makes the connectivity slow because it has not sense to me that
when I connect the network cable and log into the domain the speed goes down even if the application is looking to the DB file in mi local hard drive.<o:p></o:p>

I'd try them over here.

SBS 2011 Domain Accounts Can't Login To Windows 8 PC

One of our Windows 8.1 machines is no longer allowing domain accounts (except admin) to login to the PC. This PC was a fresh setup and was joined to the domain in January. When I log into the PC with the network admin and go to logs I get the
following message related to group polocies not being able to be applied (now it won't let me connect at all). I'll upload log files as soon as I can connect again.
We are running an SBS 2011 server that handles all ad, dns, exchange 2010, remote web access, etc.
Any ideas on what may be going wrong or how I should troubleshoot the issue?
Thanks!

Mobile account can't sync on the server itself

This should be a super simple lion server setup: 1 iMac running Lion Server with a set of network accounts, and 1 Mac Mini (running Lion) bound to the OD master running on the iMac. The iMac hosts the OD master and the network accounts. I'd like users to be able to use both the iMac and the Mini with the same accounts (mobile or network), but setting the Home directory correctly in Server.app is driving me nuts:
If I set the the home folder to "Local only" (equivalent to setting the home path to /Users in Workgroup Manager), the users can log in to the Server with no problems, but don't have access to their files on the Mini. Authentication is fine, they just don't access the correct network home directories.
If I set the home folder to "Users" (equivalent to setting the Home URL to afp://iMac.private/Users/username and the Full Path to: /Network/Servers/iMac.private/Users/username in Workgroup Manager), they can log in to the Mini, but home sync on the server gives this error:
There was a problem connecting to the server "iMac.private".
This file server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.
And then the home sync fails.
So, what's the solution? Do I need to make a fake path on the server that looks like a network mount?

When you're on the Mac mini can you Ping or access the iMac server with "iMac.private"?
Does DNS running fine on the Server? Is the Server set as the DNS server on the client?
What is the output from "sudo changeip -checkhostname" on the Server in Terminal.app?
Sound's like the Mac mini couldn't resolve the iMac's DNS-name "iMac.private".

Initermittent Connection Timeout at Post-Login when connect to AlwaysOn Availability Group listener

Hi,
I'm using SQL 2014 AlwaysOn Availability Group and my ASP .Net application is connected to the database thru the availability group listener (tcp:[myHAGroup],14330).
Things work most of the time, but recently I started to see the following Connection Timeout exception in Event Log. It looks like under heavy traffic the application can't connect to the availability group listener.
Timestamp: 8/17/2014 10:07:28 AM
Message: System.Data.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase. The connection could have timed out while waiting for server to complete the login process and respond; Or it could have timed out while attempting to create multiple active connections. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=2; handshake=0; [Login] initialization=0; authentication=0; [Post-Login] complete=15008; ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
I've checked SQL Profiler and don't see any memory or CPU peak at that time. Looks like somethings happened during the Post-Login stage, but I couldn't figure out what or why....
I'm using 2 SQL servers (1 primary, 1 secondary): SQL 2014 ENT, 8GB RAM, 8 core 2.67 Xeon X5650.
Application: ASP .Net, framework 4.0.
All servers are VMWare virtualization servers, running on 1 virtual switch, so internal traffic should not be a problem.
Comments/ideas are appreciated.
Eric.

Hi Eric Nguyen,
According to your description and error message, we need to verify if there are some queries/transaction lock your database via SQL trace. If yes,
you have to find out which queries are blocking and rewrite them/run them at other time to avoid blocking other processes.
In addition, you can use performance monitor to track connection pool connections. If you set default connection limit and timeout limit with a small number, the error of “wait operation timed out” will occur. Meanwhile, you also need to monitor disk usage
on SQL Server , and set the auto increment size of your transaction log and database with a fixed size instead of a percentage of the current files due to avoid transaction timeout. For more information, see:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7743725/how-to-troubleshoot-intermittent-sql-timeout-errors
There is an similar issue about connection failed from webservers to SQL Server AlwaysOn Listener, you can review it.

Snow Leopard: I can't login when ethernet cable is plugged in.

I have a Aluminum 2007 iMac running Snow Leopard. When I try and boot it with all the cables plugged in (Keyboard, External Harddrive, Speakers, Ethernet, Second Display), it will bring up the login screen but then when I try and login, it will just hang at the default Snow Leopard Aurora Wallpaper. It shows the cursor but doesn't load the Finder or anything else. After leaving it be for a few mins, I restarted it a few times and it did the same thing. I have Archived and Installed a few times so far and that didn't fix it.
When I tried unplugging all the cables, it booted properly and works like a charm. When I plugged the Ethernet Cable in and booted it, it freezes like it used to. I tried plugging in other things and they work. But when the ethernet cable is plugged in at Startup, it will freeze at the default wallpaper (Located in System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg).
When I have the ethernet cable it will boot into Safe Boot.
Then when I booted it up without the ethernet cable it brought up two alert windows saying that Insecure Startup Item disabled. It says that /Library/StartupItems/tap and /Library/StartupItems/tun have can't be started because they don't have proper security settings. I looked them up and they appear to be Virtual Networking Interfaces (probably installed when I installed Parallels 4.0). Removing them and restarting with the ethernet cable in still has the same affect as before (freezing).
Anyone have any idea the ethernet cable is causing this to not login correctly.
Additional Information:
iMac
1TB HDD
3GB RAM

I suspect that it's busy trying to mount a network file system of some type.
Are there any errors in your logs that seem appropriate (viewable via Applications->Utilities->Console?)

Making the second gmail account the primary login when TB starts not the first one.

Hi I added an additional gmail account but can seem to change log-in so it is the second/new account that I log into when I open TB not the first account?

The mail account listed at the top of Folder Pane and top one in Account Settings is the default mail account.
To set a different default mail account:
'Tools' > 'Account Settings'
or
'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Account Settings'
* Select the account name you want as default
