Multiple OD users simultaneously logged in to one client machine?

I'd like to be able to have multiple OD network home folder users logged into a single client machine at a time. They would switch between themselves using Fast User Switching. I can't figure out how to make this work. Is this simply not possible or am I missing a configuration setting somewhere that allows this to happen?

The first thing that comes to mind is that the share point hosting the user's network home directory is already mounted as another user which would cause it to fail. When I try this the Login Window says the user is unable to log in- makes sense.
Next I tried creating another automount share point on the server (/Shared Items/More Users) and assigning the 2nd user to use that share point (so the homes are on different share points) and that appears to work. Not sure exactly how 'supported' this configuration is but it appears to work (in other words, your mileage may vary). Here are the mount command results from the client:
mount
/dev/disk0s3 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
/dev/disk0s2 on /Volumes/Loki (hfs, local, journaled)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
map -fstab on /Network/Servers (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
trigger on /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Users (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
trigger on /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Shared Items (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
trigger on /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Shared Items/More Users (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
afp_3a2gxv44sbgc0lNAhO1lX1fO-1.2d000007 on /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Shared Items/More Users (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse, mounted by jupeman)
afp_3a2gxv44sbgc0lNAhO1lX1fO-1.2d000008 on /Volumes/Public (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, nobrowse, mounted by jupeman)
afp_3a2gxv44sbgc0lNAhO1lX1fO-1.2d000009 on /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Users (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse, mounted by rick)
afp_3a2gxv44sbgc0lNAhO1lX1fO-1.2d00000a on /Volumes/Public-1 (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, nobrowse, mounted by rick)
As you can see, jupeman has mounted /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Shared Items/More Users and rick has mounted /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Users
Best of luck!

Vo Substitution - not working on one client machine

recently deployed a standard VO substitution for a simple table region. I also added (via personalization) an additional column with a MessageStyledText region. I deployed the new code, used the JDev jpximport.bat to deploy the substitution, and bounced Apache.
We have 3 client machines. After the new code was deployed with the VO substitution, 2 of the machines display the new column correctly, however one is throwing an 'attribute not found' error. We have three users as well. On two of the machines when any of the users login, they see the additional column displayed correctly. On the problem machine, when any of the users login they also see the error. We are all using the same responsibility, and test data, the only apparent difference is the actual client laptop. We have cleared browser caches on all the machines, restarted them all, and tried firefox and IE... all with the same result.
When I disable the personalization, the problem machine no longer displays the 'attribute not found' exception. This let me get to 'about this page', where I can see that there is no reference made to the custom VO (and instead the base VO is still there). It looks like for this one machine the substitution is not being used. I had the DB clear the jsp cache and re-bounce Apache, but it hasn't changed anything.
If you have any ideas please let me know.

Are you having any load balanced server? Are all the machines having the same network credentials and inside the same network/firewall?

Writing a log file in the client machine

Hello,
I need to write a kind of log file about the successful or failure of execution of
some queries in a PL/SQL batch. The UTL_FILE.fopen command let me write to a file but in the side of the server. And it's necessary to update the init.ora with the path.
That's not useful for me. I want a procedure generates a report for the clients.
Is this posible?
Thank you very much,
Icaro Alzuru

I want a procedure generates a report for the clients.Well, one way to do it is to write a file to the DB server and then use some OS mechanism to make it available to the client (ftp, e-mail). With moderate degrees of pffafing around this can all be done from inside the database.
Alternatively, write to a log table instead and make that available to the client. Depending on who they are they might prefer querying a table to grep'ing through a file.
Cheers, APC

Find out from the machine name, what user is logged in

thank you. Is there a way to find out from the machine name, what user is logged in or who the machine belongs to?
I can actually find out from the username what machine they have because there is a field called the wWWHomePage that gets populated with the computer name
how do I do that?
Also I have a list of email addresses. How do I find the username from the list of email addresses ?
thanks

I have no good way to test this, so you'll probably have to adjust this on your end:
Get-Content .\users.txt | ForEach {
$emailAddr = $_
$props = @{
EmailAddress = $emailAddr
Username = ''
ComputerName = ''
ComputerPath = ''
try {
$userDetails = Get-ADUser -Filter "EmailAddress -eq '$emailAddr'" -Properties wWWHomePage -ErrorAction Stop
$pcDetails = Get-ADComputer -Identity $userDetails.wWWHomePage -Properties CanonicalName -ErrorAction Stop
$props.Username = $userDetails.SamAccountName
$props.ComputerName = $userDetails.wWWHomePage
$props.ComputerPath = $pcDetails.CanonicalName
} catch {
$props.Username = 'ERROR'
$props.ComputerName = 'ERROR'
$props.ComputerPath = 'ERROR'
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
} | Select EmailAddress,Username,ComputerName,ComputerPath

SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP: Own client needed for SRM?

Hello experts,
i've a question concerning the SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP4 as Add-On.
Is it possible to use SRM and ERP funtionality in a single client e.g. 001?
Or do we have to use different clients on the system like for SUS?
I haven't found any information regarding this topic in SAP ressources. I'm currently using CG "SAP SRM on One Client in
SAP ERP" Release date 2008 (found on marketplace/srm-inst --> srm7.0); SRM - Technical Basis Configuration (BuildingBlock S00/S03). I'm facing problems while going through the following customizing steps:
Assign logical System to Client [both logicall systems are on the same client (001)] ==> error while trying to reference the second logical sys. because client (001) cannot be used again (own presumption: error message differs)
I've seen that some of you have successfully installed and customized this szenario. If someone could provide me any helpful information or guideline how to proceed in general... would be great...
Best regards,
PATRICK

Thanks for your reply. I've checked the offline documentation because i've no access to solman.
There is a document which describes the steps for configuring one-client customizing on marketplace.
Link: [SAP SRM 7.0: SAP SRM on One Client with SAP ERP|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001201562009E]
The problem is that its impossible to cofigure the system like it's described in the document.
Let me explain why...
SRM Addon is installed and customizing is done in client 001 (same client as erp)
overview about defined logical systems:
-ONECLNTERP (for ERP is defined)
-ONECLNTEBP (for SRM is defined)
When I try to assign the logical system to client 001 it works for the first entry
for the second log. system it shows up an error message.
-->I assume because client 001 has been already assigned. I cant use client 001 again.
But One-Client szenario schould be possible in a single client or is SAPs One-Client more like One-System with differnet clients for SRM and ERP on the same machine?
Because of the above mentioned problem I assume that it's impossible to run ERP and SRM in the same Client number.
Am I right? Do I have to use two Clients on One System for proper Customizing?
Or if it's possible to use a single client on one machine for both ERP and SRM how is it possible to assign two log. systems to one client number?
I'm totally confused. Any help would be appreciated - any tips/hints/experiences from someone who has customized One-Client?
BR, Patrick

How to access more than one client computer behind router

I am new to ARD and have successfully logged on to a client machine at the office. I would like to access another machine behind my router. I am using pors 3283 and 5900 to access initial computer which works find. Can it be done with another computer. I have a fixed IP and run an ethernet network. Not sure what else I can tell you. Hope somebody can help?

If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, as of today you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
to connect.
The only other options available now are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps.

Logging off Client Machines

Dear all,
From SCCM 2012 R2 , is it possible to force log off client machines ?
Thanks.

Thanks, i just want to reconfirm . We need to log off all the client machines.
Hope options are create a log off package and deploy it or else if we are deploying any new package we can set after deploy it can log off.

Using of one transaction by multiple users simultaneously

Dear Cons
We have one P.O number. we want to do Migo with reference to that P.o by three users simultaneously. During simultaneously use by multiple users the system gives a message that this p.o is currently used by other user, how can we solve this problem.
example- the p.o contains 50000 mt material ( coal). The material is carried out by trucks into the gate. the users are using T-code- MIGO truckwise. in order to speed up the process as there are lot of trucks carrying material by multiple users the system is not processing data under one p.o.

Hi,
Alternative you can think of is not to do GR against PO directly, but first create inbound delivery for each of the physical shipments/trucks.
Then you can do GR against each inbound delivery separately.

Multiple users shuts down to only one user

I have multiple users on my IMac.
Recently when I go to log on the computer instead of show all users, it shows only one user (not me) and I have to log on to that user and log off to see all users again.
Any ideas how to fix this?

After migrating your whole user account from another computer you will be left with 2 user acounts on the target computer.
The best way to keep just the new user account is to log into the account you want to keep, then go into system preferences > users&groups (Accounts if using snow leopard) then delete the other account.
(Make sure you have a backup of any files you wish to keep on that user account if any)
If you wanted to just merge particular files from one computer to another instead of creating two user accounts you would be better off using the good old drag and drop method instead of migration assistant.

Multiple Users Simultaneous Login

Does anyone have a way of simultaneously logging in multiple computers with different usernames and possibly passwords. I have found Unix commands for doing this with a single user account, but not multiple. All machines would be running X.4.9 with ARD 3.1
Thanks,
Chuck

Sorry, but I'm not clear on what it is you're asking regarding "multiple computers with different usernames". Could you please explain further what it is you're trying to accomplish?
If what you mean is that you want to have some computers logged in with User A and other computers logged in with User B, then you have to do this with separate UNIX commands. But if you want to be able to do this with a single operation, you could set up an Automator workflow so that it executes the separate commands from a single script. If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify.
Regards.

Not able to access Mozilla with the generic account (NIS account) by multiple users simultaneously

• Using a single Generic account multiple users are trying to login from different machines simultaneously to Mozilla Firefox. • The Mozilla Firefox is fully operational only for the first user who has initially opened Firefox session. • If the second user trying to access the Firefox with the same account, it is displayed as there is another session is already running and most of the Firefox options are getting grayed out i.e the navigation, history and forward/ backward tabs available in the menus become inaccessible.Our Requirement is that multiple users need to access multiple sessions simultaneously with all the features of Firefox available. Kindly assist me here.

Same problem, Pls help me

How to enable multiple users logging in to the same client machine?

Hi,
We have our home directories shared from the server (using AFP) and this allows our users to log in to any machine via the normal console login.
But if you try to remotely login to a machine with ssh, and another user is already logged in at the machine, then you get the error message:
Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/machinename/Users/keith: No such file or directory
I can connect (via) ssh, only if no user is logged in at the console. If I connect with ssh when no users are logged in, and then a user logs in at the console, then this unmounts the home directory for the ssh user.
I have read about the mnthome command, and if I try running this (from my ssh login whilst there is a console login) then I get the error message:
Error: Mount failed with error 1 Operation not permitted
I'm assuming that multiple ssh logins must be allowed somehow? Can you only do this if you share your home directories with NFS (in this case, I understand that all home directories always appear mounted on each client)???
Any help appreciated,
Keith
Server and all clients running 10.4.3
iBook & PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the info. I really thought that this would be a fixable problem. I also thought that it might work when two different users both logged in using ssh only (i.e. when there is no console login). But this also causes problems for the second ssh login.
What practical work-arounds have people tried? The respondent to your other post (linked to above) suggested that NFS sharing might work, only that ssh logins still don't mount the home directory. Is this the case?
Thanks for the speedy answer.

Only One Mobile User can Log In to Laptop

I have a network account on my Mac Book Pro. I can log in no problem, access everything on the network, etc. but no one else can log in to this particular laptop. All of the other users can log into each other's identical Mac Book Pros, my account included. I have checked in my MBP's System Preferences > Accounts and the "Allow network users to login to this computer" checkbox is checked. The PDC is Leopard 10.5.6 running Open Directory.
When one of the other network accounts tries to log in to my computer we get the following error:
You are unable to login to the user account (username) at this time. Logging in to the account failed because of an error.
I have googled that error but nothing seems to apply to this situation. Most of the postings found here and on the web are authenticating against Active Directory, and the assumption seems to be no one can log in, not just select accounts.
I've done plenty of searching here and on Google but the description of the problem is hard to summarize so I'm posting my own question. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Is this a second hand phone? It sounds like the it is and the previous owner did not disable Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of iOS. If this is the case then the only solution is to get the previous owner to unlock it.

Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.
