Network account public folders are not shared?

Ok - I have posted before... but I have done more looking and have confirmed:
When I log into my mac using a network account, my public folder is not shared for guest users. I have set the permissions for my Public folder: chmod -R 0777 /Public but this does not help - the share is not visible. I can only imagine that there is a config file somewhere... maybe accessible through netinfo? Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks,
Davod

Heh... no problem.
Well, I am the network administrator.
Since the network account(s) I am referring to are MS Active Directory accounts (opposed any other LDAP or OS X Server Open Directory accounts), there is no other NetInfo database other than what is local to the Mac workstation.
I don't know why Apple thought it was more secure to lock down file sharing like this. I say that because the alternative (that I have seen in practice anyway) is to have all users run as an admin account all the time. Then when users want to access a coworkers files over the network, they are sharing thier (admin) account passwords to do so. It just seems really backwards to me is all. Run as least privilege. I always thought that was computing 101.
Anyway, this question is expanding, because there are scenarios where a user will get external hard drives from a client, and plug them into thier Mac. THey may want to have a coworker access some of the files on these drives for assistance with the job or whatever... but the drives do not show up just as the user's public folder does not show up.
Has anyone had good luck using a Preferences Panel applet called SharePoints? It seems like it could help me to solve this sharing dilema...
Thanks...

  • Public folders are not wisible in exchange 2007 EMS

    Hello!
    I'm experiencing some troubles with public folders. Few months ago I migrated to exchange 2013 CU3, server OS is 2012R2. All public folders are working OK, users can see them in outlook, can send mail to and from them. But in EMS I cannot see public folders

    Hi,
    I recommend you refer to the following article to migrate the PF from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013:
    Migrate Public Folders to Exchange 2013 From Previous Versions
    Exchange supports moving your public folders from the following legacy versions of Exchange Server:
    Exchange Server 2010 SP3
    Exchange Server 2007 SP3 RU10

  • Public folders are not in sync after settting up Replicas between Exchange 2003 and 2010

    I have setup Public Folder replicas between the 2 Exchange servers and I can see all the top and sub level folders.
    For those mailboxes that were migrated over to Exchange 2010,  I have noticied  a lower number of item contents in these fodders when views from an Outlook client whose mailbox had been migrated over to Exchange 2010.
    On Exchange 2003 System Manager, if I properties one of the Public Folders, under the Replicataion tab, I can see the old and new server there. On the Exchange server 2003 box, I can see the last update reviced was a few weeks ago.
    I did see an option to synchronize content but I am not sure which server to run this one from. The Exchange 2003 or 2010 server.
    There is also a Resend Changes... option. Should I use this instead?
    Can anyone advise?

    Hi,
    The "Resend changes" and "Synchronize content" options in Exchange 2003 ESM are used to initiate hierarchy and content replication.
    To update public folder hierarchy and content from Exchange 2010 side, you can use the following commands.
    Update-PublicFolderHierarchy
    Update-PublicFolder
    Please run the Get-publicfolderstatistics cmdlet to get public folder details such as item count, this information will help you compare content replicated between the source and destination servers.
    Besides, here is a blog about public folder replication troubleshooting for your reference.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

  • Mail account folders are not synchronized

    Mail account folders are not synchronized. How do I do this?

    Ok Istart understing.
    There is an issue with icloud Drive, the part called "mail".
    I disabled that part and the rules created by experiment were gone.
    So I restored my synced rules and smart folders plist in the V2 Maildata folder and all were like before.
    So I tried to reactivate the iclodudrive mail part and the problem was again there. The smart folders where gone again and the rules were now mixed with the ones created by experiment.
    So I deactivate icloud mail option on my iphone and my ipad, and redone the restore the synched rules and smart folder.
    After that all seems to be fine.
    Now I have even reactivated the mail icloud option on iphone and ipad.
    I suppose is definitely a bug.
    I remember that my mac popped up some strange message saying there was a problem with icloud drive.
    I will notice if this happen again to see into the log what is telling for real as I suppose that is the cause that messes up my email.

  • Exchange 2013 public folders are sending read receipts for items viewed in public folders

    We have Exchange 2013 with public folders.  These public folders are used for a large amount of shared contacts.  When a user goes into the public folders and double clicks on a contact to view it, Exchange dispatches a read receipt to all users
    that are configured as publishing editors to notify them that a certain contact was read.  How do I disable this option?

    hi again dear.. :)
    "At first, I would like to say the
    read Receipt is not sent out by the device, it is sent out by the Exchange server. This is how it works and what happens:
    1.     
    E-mail with request for send
    receipt is received on the Exchange server;
    2.     
    E-mail is synchronized with Windows Mobile based device using Exchange
    ActiveSync;
    3.     
    When e-mail is
    read on Windows Mobile based device the read status is synchronized back to the Exchange server;
    4.     
    The Exchange server creates and sends out the
    Read Receipt when receiving the Read status update from the device;
    The above is how this is implemented and there is no functionality which allows preventing this from occurring on the Mobile device.
    It seems that there is an alternative method to disable RR using transport rules. However, it will at the risk of the filtering out other messages
    with the same subject.
    Towards the third party mobile clients that support RR and DR, you might consider using Flexmail 4.11. It’s impossible to deactivate ActiveSync
    RRs in Exchange server 2007/2010."
    also
    One way to stop read receipts being triggered through client side configuration on the mobile is to use the option "Don't Mark Read on server".
    I have tested this successfully using this option in the TouchDown mail client on Android.
    Not sure if the standard or other mail clients do support this option, TouchDown certainly does and it works.
    The side effect obviously is, that the read status isn't synced back to Exchange anymore:"
    hope now i r clear... one way or the other... you need to send a feed back or define a transport rule... but that again may create problem with the same subject :)

  • When I select a page to bookmark all my bookmark folders are not shown so that I can enter the page in that bookmark folder.

    I have a list of bookmark folders. When I want to bookmark a page I select "bookmark this page" but not all of my folders are shown. If the folder is not shown I can not get it to be filed in that bookmark folder. How can I get all of my bookmark folders to be shown. When I go to show "all bookmarks" and select "bookmarks menu" all are shown. I am using firefox 8.0.
    I have updated to firefox 8.0.1, did not change the problem. When I show all bookmarks I have 11 folders but when I try to bookmark a page only 5 folders are shown not all 11, why?

    The problem is that not all of my bookmark folders are shown when I want to bookmark a page. They are shown when I "show all bookmarks" Ctrl+Shift+B but not when I want to bookmark a page. The article how to use bookmarks does not solve my problem. The folders are not shown so I can not use them. Why?

    i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    Some updates and clarifications:
    1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
    2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
    3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
    4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
    I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
    An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

    Hi All,
    We have an issues with our Public Folders Assistant not forwarding and replying to any emails. This was working with EX2007 for 6 years and EX2013 for the last year. All of the sudden all of the mail enabled PF stopped working. We can receive emails but
    that is it. Can't find any event logs pertaining to this issue. We have not installed any Windows or Exchange updates prior to this happening. We use Office 2010 and 2013.

    Hi,
    Do you have public folders in Exchange 2007?
    In Exchange 2007, you can increase logging level for "MSExchangeIS\9001 Public\Rules" to a higher level. In Exchange 2013, this event is removed.
    Besides, please try to change the conditions for public folder assistant rule to check result.

    I figured out the problem.  All music purchases now go to the cloud and must be downloaded to each computer or device.  I needed to go to the iTunes Store and look at my recent purchases then click on the cloud to download them.
