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".

Can Profile Manager Enroll the Server Itself?

Hi all,
I can successfully enroll clients, but when I try to enroll the server itself, I receive the error message, "Profile installation failed. The profile "Remote Management (com.apple.config.myserver.com.mdm)" could not be installed due to an unexpected error."
I created a seperate local network user account (a different user name) for this purpose and did not use the local admin's account for device enrollment. On the server machine itself, I logged into http://myserver.com/mydevices and used the admin's local network acount to begin enrollment. The trust profile successfully installs first, but enrollment fails.
I would like to group server machines using Profile Manager and I would like to setup a configuration payload is for Software Update.
Many Thanks!

I really doubt you can enroll your server in it's own MDM.
If all you're trying to do is set the software update server, it's a lot easier to just do this...
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate

How do you setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server?

I want to be able to setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server. What is the best way to do this? I am running Server 10.6 with 10.6 clients. Open Directory will be used to authenticate and manage preferences. Also, this one account will be used simultaneosly in a computer lab setting, so files will be stored locally in the client, hence the need to NOT sync to the server. Any Ideas?

So what does WGM Look like in the Home Tab? afp://servername.domainname/Users? or afp://Users?
The attached screen shots should help you:
You will only have to do this step once. Obviously you want to use the user's shortname here.
Then, you will see this as an option in WGM:

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

OK, I found the part about history. It is just to unmark that.
But still i wonder how often it sync? Instantly? Or when closing FF?

Mobile account setup stops syncing and acts like a network user

Mobile account setup stops syncing and acts like a network user system under ODM
Setup: Mobile laptop users authenticating against an ODM. Every user has a networked home directory on an Xserve. The whole setup is 10.4 (client and server). All systems run a standard image. Most effected systems have been re-imaged since the onset of the issue.
Issue: Some of the users are not syncing properly every time. It is as if the system forgets it is a mobile system and reverts to using the User's network home (instead of saving to /Users and syncing). If the user is effected, the system will not even accept cached credentials if they are off network. This forgetfulness does not seem to follow any pattern and does not effect all of our mobile users.
In mucking about trying to find a cause to this issue I ran across an oddity in all effected systems Netinfo database. The users are each listed twice. Each entry has the same username, short name and UID. Also, In each case one record looks wrong... this varies somewhat from user to user, but in each case there is marked difference in the record's contents. Deleting the incomplete record in Netinfo manager seems to solve the issue (seems, as we are very early in testing this).
Anyone have a clues as to where this double came from? The only lead so far is that it looks like the users having issues pre-date the use of mobile accounts. At some time they all had local accounts that authenticated against the ODM but never synced or had networked home directories. The pool of users who just got laptops (and thus never had a local account) seem unaffected so far.
Also, what is the best way to browse the ODM master to find these duplicates?

I have a similar issue with computers bound to Active Directory. Users occasionally have a problem logging into their computers even though their account is fine. Logging in as Admin and running netinfo manager always shows duplicate user accounts. Deleting the one that says disabled always clears up the issue. I'd like to find a startup script that would delete the disabled account, thus preventing the issue.

Yes
Put all the music on one computer, make sure it is authorized for all accounts, sync.

My email gets bounced into an eternal loop in the outbox and says that my iCloud and me account are not recognized by the server? I've tried setting up another account and it says that I already have them set up, and it is stil only sending 1 or 2 message

My messages get lost in an eternal loop in my out box and it says that my iCloud me accounts are not recognized by the server. I can send 1 or 2 out of 10.
We tried adding a new account and that didn't work. We then deleted the account and started again. Still didn't work. Extremely frustrated!

There also seems to be something wrong with the time!!! My posting says 5:30ish but it was 8:30ish?

Deleted calendar entries are not sync to the serve...

I'm using a E71 with MfE. The synchronization works fine except when deleting an item of the E71 calendar. The deleted item on the mobile is not deleted on the server. If I delete an item on the server the sync works correctly and the item is deleted also on the E71.
I'm using as well a Windows Mobile 6 device and there the sync with the server works correctly. Deleted items on the mobile calendar are deleted on the server too. That shows me, that the Exchange-Server is set up correctly.
Any idea what it could be?
Thx.

Mobile account managed preferences sync rules not applied

Hello everyone!
I am testing out mobile accounts and home sync on a few of the machines I have. My goal is too use mobile accounts as a way to backup small documents. I have many preference and Home sync rules applied to a group. All the machines I have added to this group seem to recognize these rules, but one machine does not. It is syncing folders and file types that I have excluded. I have checked the users managed preferences file and it appears to be correct, yet when I start a sync it does not appear to follow it's own managed preferences.
One thing I should add is that these machines have been using plain old local accounts and I have been migrating them to mobile accounts using this method:
http://www.macenterprise.org/articles/migratingalocalusertoanetworkuser
This method seems to work great except for the fact that the users preferences like the dock don't appear to be carried over.

Did you ever solve this? I have just started testing this in our office as well. It appears I have a machine that does not appear to obey the rules ether. I am also migrating local accounts to mobile accounts.

Can't connect to the server

my apple TV second generation can not connect to the Itunes store. I keep getting a message saying. Apple TV can't Connect to the server at this time. Please try later. Is it on my end or is there an issue on Apples side? I can see previews and such but can not buy or rent anything

I have four Apple TV's in my home, and I get this message all the time. What is intersting, is when it occurs on one,it occurs on ALL four simultaneously. We also have two iMacs, two iPads, and three iPhones, all use the same apple I'd and password, those other devices connect to iTunes just fine when this occurs with the TV's. I too can also watch previews, use Netflix, etc.
It is clearly a gremlin specific to iTunes and Apple TV's, and your account. Re booting the TV does work.
I am forever rebooting Apple TV's, as well as forever returning them for free replacements as they experience a variety of problems, locked screens, failure to pair with a remote, etc.
Apple knows the fix for this is a reboot, so why is that not an express lane answer??
Very frustrating devices, ITunes does have the best content, and the highest prices. But I suggest use your apple tv for watching Netflix at $8 / month rather than $5 / movie. Especially when they do not seem to care enough to fix bugs like this so we can enjoy the pleasure of overspending for their content without extreme frustration.
Imagine three kids with Apple TV's in their room. (we do not have cable). A thousand "Dad, can you come fix my Apple TV again".
