Mobile account settings & home sync

I've learned recently that introducing a MacBook into a corporate Windows world is easier said than done, but I've been fairly successful. One problem that has occurred recently (maybe due to a recent update) is that I can no longer access the Mobile account settings in my Accounts preferences. I setup the first MacBook Pro around the first of March. I successfully assigned a networked location as my home folder, and it synced just fine.
Now I've setup a second MacBook Pro today and found that I can't access the Mobile account settings in the Accounts preferences. Going back to my original MacBook Pro, I get the same thing... greyed out. I click on the Home Sync button in the toolbar and I click on "Sync Now" and I get no response. I see that it shows my last Home sync was on 3/4/10.
I don't have an OSX server here, we're using Active Directory on a Win2008 server. No specific rules have been assigned to these machines, but the accounts are Active Directory accounts.
Anyone have an idea why I can't use the home functions? These are new 15" MacBook Pro models with 10.6.3 software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I got the same problem with our second Mac. But after activating it in: System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Menu Extras and then HomeSync.menu, it became editable.
Does someone know how to change the server folder that the mac will sunc with?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mobile account settings greyed out

    Hi,
    We have an Open Directory running with mobile users on macbooks and normal users on Mac mini's. I have an issue with 1 mobile user where the mobile account settings can't be changed. Most of the options in the screens are greyed out; I can change the interval, but not the folders or the "at login - at logout".
    The specific user is admin on the computer and I have the same issue on another computer when I create a new mobile account. I have deleted this user from the computer and recreated it, but it remains the same.
    The issue started in Lion and remains after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Anyone can help me ?
    Kind regards,
    Bas

    I tried setting Account Creation to Never as documented below. This made no change in the sync options on the client.

  • How do you disable mobile account settings/parental controls

    My school had a one-to-one macbook program, but I switched schools. Now i have a heavily restricted computer. They had my account set to mobile and had parental controls enabled, so I used single user mode to create a new admin (remove /var/db/.applesetupdone and reboot) and remove them. However, even though no account has parental controls turned on, they are still enabled somewhere for all accounts, even admins. I have two questions: how do i disable mobile account settings, and where are the parental controls files located? I found some in /library/managed preferences/<account name here> , but editing these gives only temporary relief from parental controls, and they are reset when i restart. There has to be somewhere else that parental controls are flagged as on/set to sync on login. i removed the actual parental controls executables and stuff somewhere in /system but after that i couldnt open activity monitor and i didnt want to risk a reboot. please help me as this is very annoying. btw im on OS X 10.6.7

    HI,
    Try this..
    Open System Preferences/MobileMe and select the Sync tab.
    Deselect the box where you see: Synchronize with MobileMe. The last sync will noted at the bottom left side of the window.

  • Mobile Account Login/Logout Sync Not Skipping Inputted Items

    I'm running a Leopard Server 10.5.6 Advanced Config ODM.
    No matter what I put into the Login & Logout Sync tab underneath "Skip items that match any of the following" it still syncs everything.
    I enter "ends with" ".mp3", "mp3" and it still syncs the test MP3s I put onto the desktop for the user.
    I ask it to not sync ~/Documents and it still syncs the test documents I put into that folder.
    This user is set to sync at login and logout with no background sync. The client machine is using 10.5.6.

  • Mobile Account will not sync

    I am having no end of problems syncing a mobile account.
    Have set up a mobile account on Server (10.5.7) and specified in WGM to sync a ~/Documents/Company folder where we'll create all our company documents. I went to client that was bound to server OD and tried to log onto the mobile account, but couldn't until I logged in with this mobile account on the server .. and then could only log onto the server after I created a home directory. But after mobile user account logged into server, I could then log into client and it shows as a "mobile" account.
    I put a few documents in the ~/Documents/Company folder and I expect on log off it would check the network home directory folder (there is ~/Documents/Company folder there too) and copy files to it. So I'd have a backup of these files.
    Nothing seems to sync.. that is the server folder never gets updated as I expect. I have AFP service on and I restarted it, but no luck..
    I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting this. I've read the Apple Server Management as well as any other docs I could find.

  • 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".

  • Cannot change mobile account settings, connected to Windows AD

    Now to the strange thing.
    On the MBP 13" I CAN change settings for my mobile account but on the MBP 15" it is not poosible? How can it be different?
    Please see attached picture. Swedish "Flyttbart konto" = Mobile Account. Swedish "Inställningar" = Settings. As you can see it is not possible to edit/change settings........

    Hello bh8er,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having mail issues with your Mac. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing/describing. What are you seeing when you go to Mail > Preferences and select the Accounts tab? Does it show more than one account in the left hand column, and does it allow you to select your account? What does it say for Account Type? You may also find the additional troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful, in particular the portion about using the Mail Connection Doctor:

    Hi welly
    I just got a similar issue and possibly found a (really ugly) workaround.
    My Mobile Clients do their initial sync fine, also background sync worked as expected. I ran into troubles as soon as I tried to sync manually. And the logout syncs didn't work at all. The issue only occured on third party smb servers, afp currently works fine for me with the same configuration.
    Additionally the poor clients desperately try to connect to the network home again and again and again and thus cause a lot of very ugly traffic on the network.
    I kind of "solved" this as I realized that other shares from the same server are mounted on the machines as well. I unmounted them with the Finder and suddenly all the syncs worked like a charm..
    I'm really curious if this is a newly introduced bug with 10.6.7 or 10.6.6, I had machines with 10.6.5 (or was it 10.6.4?) properly running with mobile accounts in the same setup.
    Here are my error messages from system.log

  • Mail account settings not syncing

    Hi all,
    Wondering if someone out there can help me with this.
    I have various e-mail accounts. Back when I was on MobileMe, the settings for those accounts (SMTP etc) would sync flawlessly to all my iDevices.
    Since migrating to iCloud, I have had to update SMTP settings due to ISP issues, and none of the revised settings propogated to my iPhone or iPad.
    Though I went in and manually adjusted settings, the phone is still sending mail through the wrong ISPs SMTP despite the fact that I manually altered it. This is annoying as work e-mails are reponded to from a different address.
    Basically what I want to know is - is there a way to get my Phone to inheret the setting on my computer automatically (just like I had on MobileMe). There was never any need to tinker with settings on each device before. If I could get my phone to 'start over' on it's mail settings and inheret them, the issues would dissapear.
    This has been a bit annoying/distracting tryng to solve this. I kind of thought iCloud would be a huge improvement over MobileMe, but although I like aspects of it, it has actually been worse in terms of creating little headaches. It's not been seamless at all.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Wjosten, thank you! A simple resolution....

  • Mobile Account Home Sync Duplicate Files

    We use profile manager, with an OSX mobility profile with home sync, for management of our OSX devices, combined with AD sign on with "create a mobile account on sign on.
    For many of our users, they are experiencing files are duplicating with .network extension on the end, and that deleted files are being re-synced back to their device.
    Setting the keep most recent option with the sync conflicts appears to fix the .network file issue, but the returning of deleted documents, appears to be repeat occurring.
    I haven't found any documentation regarding the issue on how to resolve it, and I am currently in the process of trying to replicate the issue myself.
    Is there a work around or fix to this issue?
    Appears to be happening across different versions of OSX. 10.8 - 10.10

    Hi, the only workaround I know of, is to uncheck the library folder from syncing, ANYTHING running live while the home folder is syincing (MS office for example, it's DB is in your docs folder, will cause a sync error, as well as iphoto.. etc.. the only other way to fix this, is to set it to sync manually at login & logout. I wish my issues were that easy

  • Mobile Account Sync still occurring outside network

    Hello;
    From everything I have read I was under the impression that once I left my network, my mobile account would not sync but was of course still usable as it is a mobile account and the homefolder does reside on the local hard drive.
    My mobile account still syncs from home. What am I missing or did I just misunderstand?
    Thanks.

    If your workstation can't connect to the file server, it won't sync. You probably shouldn't be providing file sharing access over the internet. Use your firewall to restrict external access.

  • Managed Mobile Home sync problems

    We have recently upgraded our servers from Leopard to Snow Leopard and I have rebound my macbook to the server. Whenever I synchronise it will upload all my new files to the server, however when I come to delete them from my macbook and proceed to sync it will download those deleted files back on to my macbook instead of deleting them from the network account. Also before the upgrade if I log in the my network account and logout and then proceed to log in to my mobile account a file sync message will come up asking me where my latest files are located and give me the options of Local, Network or Sync Later, that box however no longer appears.
    Server is running 10.6.4 and macbook is running 10.6.4

  • Best way to handle mobile accounts with large itunes/photo libraries

    What is the best way to handle mobile accounts, but not syncing itunes/photos libraries?
    I have a time capsule so I can move itunes and photos libraries for each user if need be.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I've done a great deal of work with mobile accounts in Snow Leopard and I'm now having a "play" with Lion. To be honest you have to sit down and think about why you need mobile accounts.
    If your user only uses one computer then your safer having a local account backed up by a network Time Machine, this avoids the many many woes that the Servers FileSyncAgent brings to the table.
    If your users are going to be accessing multiple computers on the network and leaving the network then a mobile account is good for providing a uniform user experience and access to files etc. However, your users will have to make a choice as to whether they want their iPhoto libraries on one Local machine (backed up by Time Machine) or whether they want their library to be hosted on the server and not part of the Mobile Home Sync schedule (adding ~/Pictures to the excluded items on the home sync settings).
    With the latter, users will be able to access their iPhoto libraries on any computer when they are within the network (as it's accessed from the users server home folder).
    With the first option the user would have their iPhoto library on one computer (say the laptop they used the most) but then would not be able to access it from other computers they log on to.
    iPhoto libraries are a pain, and I'm working hard to come up with a workaround. If your users moved over to using Apeture then you could include the aperture library as part of the home sync thanks to Deeport (http://deepport.net/archives/os-x-portable-home-directories-and-syncing-flaw-wit h-bundles/)
    He does suggest that the same would work with IPhoto libraries - but it doesn't for a number of mysterious reasons regarding how the OS recognizes thie iPhoto bundle (it does so differently compared to Apeture).
    Hope this helps...
