Mobility settings problem

Finally I managed to get my MacBook set-up and configured for network access and a user set-up as a mobility user.
Everything works with one teasing problem: I can't change in "Users & Groups" the Mobile Account Settings for the user.
Everything is greyed out.
FYI: Do to a misunderstanding on my side I originally configured the mobility settings in profilemanager. They been pushed
through succesfully.
Then I was wondering why I can't get them changed as the mobnile user. Then I learned that the user can't change them
if they are configured via profilemanager.
O.K. so I deleted them in profilemanager, change was pushed through succesfully but I still can't change them as they are still greyed out.
Where did I go wrong ?
What can I do ?
What I would love to have is that only the the docs, pictures and Music folders are been synced.
Help/guidance is more then appreciated.

Found the problem. No response necessary anymore.
Thanks.

  • Mobile Home problem with Magic Triangle

    So I have been setting up a magic triangle for the past few days with an OSX Lion server.  I believe it is working properly.  The server is running OD and is bound to my AD.  I have made an OD group which contains my AD users, and I have set that OD group to have limited application preferences (one of them is to block the App store).  All my users have MacBook Airs which they will take off-site, so I enabled mobile home folders in the AD bind and in the OD group mobility settings (with confirmation required).
    When I tested it today, with Airs running 10.7.4, here is what happened.
    When the system was on the network, it would log a user in, ask to create the mobile account, and successfully create it.  Once logged in they were limited to the application preferences that I set on the server.  I considered this a complete success.
    When I disconnected them from the network, I had expected that they would still be able to log in and the system would fuction the same way with the exception that they would not sync their changes until they were back on-site.
    Instead...
    When the same user trys to log in it says the AD server is unavailable and then logs them in anyway.  However, once they are at the desktop, none of the permissions are in place.  They can go to the app store, or do anything else they feel like.  Once they are back on the network, all the server based preferences reappear and lock the system down.
    So my questions are:
    1. Should a mobile account based system compain that it cant find the AD domain when offsite?
    2.  Why is it not checking some cached verison of the permissions and locking down the notebook when offsite?  I can tell that it is caching the user name and password (as loging in as a user the air has never seen before will simply give a login error), as it will let them in, but it is not holding any preferences. 
    3.  How can I prevent users from simply disconnecitng from the network to bypass all my server based policies?
    Hope someone can help

    Hi,
    I'm having a similar problem with exactly the same setup, our clients are 10.7.4 wired not wireless the OD server is 10.7.4 and the clients are authenticating via an AD 2008 R2 domain.
    We've had this scenario in the past running 10.5 and 10.6 without any problems but with 10.7.4 the clients' MCX settings are lost when they're not connected to our network. It seems to only lose the settings applied to user groups but not computer groups.
    At this moment in time I don't have an aswer I'm still looking, have you found a solution?
    I know configuration profiles are the way forward and in the future I'll move over to them but they don't seem to work that well with PHD's at the moment.
    If anyone has any thought on this it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jay.

  • ICal settings problem.

    I have an iCal settings problem. I simply cannot change the format to 12 hours. I have repeatedly set the system to 12 hours and that works fine. I have re launched iCal several times to no avail. Running system 10.6.7 and iCal is 4.0.4. Any ideas? Thanks. Geoff.

    iCal takes its format from System Preferences>Language& Text>Formats.
    Click on the 'Customize' button for 'Time' and set as here:
    Then drag the  'PM' button in the 'Time Elements' section to after the short time - though when I tried this it didn't appear in iCal. You may need to experiment a bit.

  • [Solved]Gnome settings problem

    Hi all.
    I have some strange problems with Gnome 3.2, it is hard to explain but these screenshots should:
    http://bildr.no/image/1012613.jpeg
    http://bildr.no/image/1012614.jpeg
    In the first picture you can see that something that is selected by default is pink, this happens all over Gnome. In the second one you can see that in nautilus when I want to select with the mouse it creates a white block so you can't see behind. I know it is a settings problem because the same doesn't happen on a new account, but the problem is that I have tried to delete .gnome2/ .gconf and .config but once I start to customize again the problem reappers. So I was wondering if there is anything else that I can try to delete without deleting the whole account or if there is some settings that I could to to remove this problem.
    Thanks in advanced

  • I downloaded a security update & when i tried to open firefox afterwards ,I couldn't open it. have a DEP settings problem i tried to change my computer's DEP settings but was notified i couldnt for firefox,what should I do?

    I was prompted to downloaded a security update & so I did. when i tried to open firefox afterwards ,I couldn’t open it. My computer told me I had a DEP settings problem.I tried to change my computer's DEP settings but was notified i couldn't for firefox. I tried the uninstall & then install Firefox again route (could not even do it in safe mode since i can't even open firefox)but still had the same problem afterwards. What should I do?

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Mobility settings issue

    Has anyone noticed that it is not possible to set up mobility settings rules through Profile Manager?  It is possible to add a new line in the skip items section, and to switch the pull down selection, but it will not take any text in the description field, which seems to be blocked.
    Mobility rules through Profile Manager has never really worked for me.  I've had to resort to workgroup manager where it works as advertised.

    I had the same issue and fixed it by hand for now. I detailed the steps in the following thread.

  • N73 - Operator Settings Problem

    Hi I've received settings from my operator to setup my phone automatically & they have been received in my txt inbox. When I try to open them I get the message "General: Feature Not Supported". I'm unsure why this is, the phone has the most current firmware on it. It is the standard edition if that changes anything, but I don't think it would. Would be greatful if someone could shed some light on the message I'm getting.

    As i told it might not be the phone " or it might " but i've been reading through the Blyk support forum and they have their share of settings problems. on the other hand i think the N73 is one of the best handsets around so it's not a waste.
    try using Blyk support forum for help:
    http://forum.blyk.co.uk/forums/default.aspx
    and the best way to diagnose the problem is to use another sim card from another company "if you have one", and let them send you the confiquration messages , and try that, if it worked, then it's not hte phone.

  • OS X Server 4.0.3 Profile Manager Settings for Mobile Users problems

    OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with Server 4.0.3
    We are using Profile Manager to control Settings for Mobile Users, and give homeSync to the users. Our problem is that the exclude / Skip items (Items matching any of the following will not sync" This setting is not working an example. I have put this folder to Skip Items ~/Downloads but the home Sync still Syncing items in the Downloads folder.
    I have this problem on all the 3 users/machines on that server. Every client is using os x 10.10.1 og 10.10.2 I have check that the profile from the server is on the client.
    Has any a solution to that?
    Regards
    Brian

    I have no solution but have experienced failing sync settings (quite often) in both 10.6 Server and 10.9 + Server 3 (upgraded from 10.6 Server) in the same way as you described, it syncs too much. We have given up on synched home folders and will cut them and use other backup methods since we’re not so dependant on switching between different devices. Our users usually have one computer, one iPhone, one iPad and stay with those until it’s time to exchange them.

  • Mobile network problem in my lumia 520

    Once network gone, I have to Restart it then again mobile network come.calling proble occurs many times even network is dispayed. Network problem sshould be rectify.

    Hi mbkrish,
    Do you experience the network issue regardless of your area? Aside from calling, are the other network services working fine like SMS messaging and mobile data connection? Is this for a Lumia 520 as well? If so, I hope you're using a standard microSIM and not a cut one as this is what the phone is designed to use.
    BTW, the reset that the Nokia Care Center recommended is the one under Settings > about, is that right? After the reset, have you checked if the system apps are updated? Go to Settings > swipe to applications > store > check for updates. 
    Let us know how it will go. 

  • Bo Mobile Authentication Problem

    in this situation i connect to the cms with a bb simulator..but in a real bb says to me " authentication login...."
    what is the problem?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Also, in a real BB deployment, the request would go through a BES server deployment.
    Make sure the settings are apt on teh BES server side ( ip:port)
    Also, the VAS and VMS ports are open between BO and BES server.

  • Wifi and mobile data problems

    Hello
    I am reporting a problem regarding the wifi and mobile data on my Xperia Z1. Whenever I lock my phone, the wifi and mobile data keeps turning on by itself again and again. I have tried to turning the "automatic turn on wifi when sleep" to "never" but it keeps turning "always" whenever I lock my phone, so does the mobile data. I look forward to some replies.
    Sincerely

    Hi @Nick2510 I suggest you to first run a backup of the device information like this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253 Try performing a system repair using PC Companion: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/ This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need tocharge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose
    Windows 7 or XP. I hope can be useful. I'm at disposal for any question. Best Regards,

  • 3 settings problems to fix

    I have three problems in settings with my way to use the mobile and at least two of these make the mobile useless to me.
    1. I need to have the screen active when charging, without going to sleep or reduction of brightness.
    2. I also need a function that could lock the screen in landscape mode.
    I need those two settings for me to use the phone as a GPS on a motorcycle. You don't want the screen to flip when you take a nice curve.
    3. I can't find the settings to not use automatic space when writing, at least not with international keyboard.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Also contact your local Xperia care and let them know what you think
