Network User appearing twice in connection tab under file sharing

I have one of my network users that appears twice under the connected Users tab in the File Sharing service (Lion Server).
It only appears to be happening with one of the users. When they log in they get shown twice with the same IP address although they can have different idle time.
I can not seem to work out what is going on.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

After a little bit of mucking around I have discovered the duplicate user appears when I mount a network volume (which is also a share) during login using a "mount drive" script. I can disconnect the duplicate user which unmounts the network volume.
Same thing happens when I connect to the server machine through the SHARED listing in Finder as it is set up to use my network account to connect. ONce again I can disconnect which simply umounts the shared access.

Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

Lync 2013 user appears twice in Lync, once with all features, a second time with only the option to make a voice call

Hi,
I'm using 15.0.4551.1007.
A user appears twice in my contact search but in the second instance he has a phone icon and I can only make a video call to the user.
His contact card only shows a phone number in 'Other'. The number appears in his other contact card but not in the same format.
I suspected he is somewhere in my contacts but a search found nothing. He's not listed twice in the Exchange GAL either.
Where can Lync be getting this information? it doesn't happen to every user and he's enabled the same way as everybody else in Lync.
Thanks,
rudif

Open Lync option, click Personal tab. Choose None under Personal information manager.
Then sign out and sign in to check if you can see the contact twice for the specific user.
Please also check if other users have this issue. If they do have, the problem locates on the address book server or Active Directory.
If only you have this problem, try to delete the Lync cached file for you user.

I lost the close tab under File, how can i get it back

if i don't have the close tab under File, i have to exit totally out of firefox which i don't want to do. How can I get the close button back?

Hi,
Please try pressing '''Alt''' + '''F''' on the keyboard. This brings out the full '''File''' menu. You can also try to close a tab by pressing the middle button of the mouse when the mouse pointer is over a tab, or clicking on the '''x''' on the right edge of a tab.

Connection Failed when File Sharing and High CPU Usage

I have a small wired network where a G5 Tower (10.5.8) has an external drive connected via FW800 set as shared so it can be accessed from a C2D iMac (10.6.4). This has been working great since it was setup in Feb.
Today the iMac was unable to access the G5. It didn't show either the Public folder on the G5 or the shared FW drive. When clicked it showed "Connection Failed." Immediately the G5 spun up to 100% CPU usage. Activity monitor showed AppleFileServer as the culprit, and when quit, resumed to normal usage.
Same happens when trying to access the G5 from a Mac Mini (10.5.8)
Once the iMac gave a warning of something like: "Failed to connect because there are too many users." Which is rubbish because no one was connected or could connect, and this was verified in the Sharing Pref Pane.
I've tried restarts, disk repairs off a boot disk, and enabling / renabling File Sharing. The G5 can connect to the other macs, and they to each other, just not to the G5.
Anyways, any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

So somehow I got the computers to connect to the G5 with file sharing. I went through a bunch of steps, and not really sure what worked.
I believe it had something to do with the 'Public' user folder only being listed in the file sharing pane, instead of the User folder. Why that would also stop the shared external drive from being seen, I'm not sure.

Networking user account from eMac to use ONLY files from iMac??

Here's the deal:
I have a iMac G5 10.4 that is networked with a eMac 1.25ghz 10.4 through a LAN.
What I'm trying to do is configure two of the users on the eMac to only be able to access the files on the iMac so we can avoid multiple versions of the same files.
How do I do this?
I've already attempted to do it through the user limitations (parental controls) but there weren't enough options to allow the user to only find files on the iMac.
Please help!!
Many thanks!
iMac g5 + eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Elijah,
I'm not quite sure what it is you want to do; you must be more specific. Are you saying that you want eMac users to have HOME folders (and thus files) on the iMac, and the iMac only? This is possible, but it is very complicated and problematic.

How to delete the Calander Server account under the options tab in file sharing in your system preferences?

When I go under System Preferences-Sharing-File Sharing-Options there is an account listed called "Calender Server" that is checked. When I try to uncheck it, it asks for a password to turn it off and I don't know the password. How do I either turn this off or get rid of it?

Better still, try Apple - Support - Discussions - Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard.

Can I switch the positions of the "new window" and "new tab" under file in Firefox 4?

Would like to make the order under "file" in Firefox 4 the same as in Firefox 3. Very used to Firefox 3 order and used to open new window being the first link.

User appearing twice in Buy on Behalf

Hello,
I have a bug on a user that was recently moved from a purchase org to another.
When I try to buy on behalf of the user I see two lines of the same users ( same id ).
It seems like a new line of this user has been created in the system.
I've already deleted the entry in table BUT050 and BUT052.
Does anybody has an idea ?
Thanks

Hi
Please check the entries in Table HRP1001

Network setting changed...no printers, no file sharing

I had a message "network settings changed by another application" and could not change settings. After reading the discussion forum, Jona's fix worked to resolve that. However, I still can not print anything and can not "connect to server" to share files from my laptop to my desktop (which had the original problem with settings changed). HELP! I have many projects left to print for Christmas and have no idea where to start to fix this problem. I know it has something to do with the origninal network settings issue.

Hi AubreyM, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Did you delete those files or just lock the Security?
Have you tried connecting by IP>
Finder>Go menu>Connect to Servers..., then enter afp://ip.of.other.mac, like...
afp://10.0.1.3
afp://192.168.1.2
On the Printer, did you try removing the existing one in Printer Setup Utility, then adding it again?
Might try these two...

Windows Users can no longer connect to Server

I have an Xserve configured to share via AFP and windows. It is running Open Directory as an Open Directory master. It is connected to a Windows Network that is worldwide, running in a specific subnet and domain. Recently, all the users I have configured on the machine have been migrated to a new Active directory server for their email accounts. I can connect and authenticate against the open directory using AFP, but can not connect using windows file sharing from a Windows computer, nor can I connect using SMB from a mac. Shouldn't the users be authenticating against the Xserve when trying to connect or is it passing off the authentication to another server? Do I need to move the Xserve to the new domain? (in other words, do I have to change its FQDN? )
thanks in advance,
Mike
XServe Dual 2GB G5 Mac OS X (10.3.4) Windows Domain member

I just had this same problem on my server. The only difference is it is an Xserve insted of a Mac Mini.
I restarted the whole operating systems and that appeard to have fixed the problem but I do not know what I cause was.
Did you figure anything out?

Sql statement appear twice in trace file

Hi all,
Just a little confused on why my sql statement appear twice in the sql trace file.
the following is the sequence of steps to reproduce this.
1. Enable sql trace in another session, say session B
exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(38,13330,TRUE,TRUE);2. Execute the following sql in session B
select * from hosts where hostname = 'host19'3. Disable sql trace
exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_disable(38,13330);I used TKPROF to parse the trace file

I think the correct one would be the second since it's reporting the fetching of 1 row.
Does anyone understand this?

Condition NAVS appearing twice

Dear All,
For particular material and vendor combination Condition NAVS is appearing twice in condition tab.
I have removed info record from PO then it got corrected but i am not able to know what was the reason for NAVS coming twice...
Also after saving PO info record again is displaying and this time NAVS is not displaying twice...!
What could b the reason?
Naren..

Looks like you are in the post mortem mode. Let me try to help you with your investigation.
In the same PO conditions tab, try maintaining NAVS manually, so you will now have to NAVS conditions. This gets updated in the order history and the info record.
Now try creating another PO with the same vendor / material combination, NAVS will appear twice.
Someone in the past might have manually entered NAVS once again, resulting in this problem. You can stop this by ensuring that duplicate entries are not allowed (ikn the condition type configuration).
Regards,
Aroop

Enabling 'File Sharing' on my Mac allows my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp to be visible and writeable on my home network. How can I turn this off, so that only folders/files I share are visible?

So I've been trying recently to get my MacBook Pro connected to my home network. There are two other desktop computers in the household, and I'd like to be able to connect to their shared folders, as well as allow them to access shared items on my MacBook Pro. I think I've read all the documentation regarding this issue on the Apple Support site. I do have administrator privileges on my Windows 7 computer.
Issues connecting from PC to Mac
A couple of days ago, I enabled SMB File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, and in addition to the already shared Public folder, I added another that resides within Movies. Then I went to my Windows 7 PC, and under Network, my MacBook Pro appeared. I double-clicked on it (I cannot remember if I was asked to enter my Mac user credentials; I think I was), and I saw the two shared folders: Public, and the Movies folder.
However, today I went back to my Windows 7 PC, accessed my MacBook Pro, entered username and password, and in addition to the two shared folders, both my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp HD appeared as shared folders, both fully writable. However, under File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, only the two shared folders (Public and Movies) appear in the Shared Folders list.
How can I prevent my Mac from sharing my entire partitions? How can I configure it so thatonly the folders I select to share are actually broadcasted across my home network? Also, it would be ideal if I can access these shared folders from my Windows 7 PC without having to enter my Mac user credentials.
Issues connecting from Mac to PC
I have a user account on my Windows 7 PC with the same name as my Mac, but with no password. When I try to connect to my PC from my Mac, the enter credentials dialogue pops up and asks me to either log-in as a Guest, or enter my User credentials.
The Guest account is disabled on Windows 7, and I assume that's I'm not able to log in as Guest (if it is possible to connect as a Guest without having to enable the Guest account on Windows 7, please let me know). Leaving the password field blank on the enter credentials dialogue tells me that it's incorrect (even though I don't have a password on my Windows 7 account).
Is it possible to access shared files and folders on my Windows 7 PC from my Mac without having to create a password protected account? If not, is it possible to create a password for the sake of accessing shared files, while not requiring it to log in to the account? I'm sorry, I know this last bit more falls under the category of Windows Help.

Sharing files from a Mac to a PC is a different animal. I've never done it myself so you may want to repost a separate question on this topic.
From what I understand, in order to access files from a Mac on a PC, you must log in using your Mac username and password (no anonymous file sharing). Since this is not very desirable from a security standpoint, Apple recommends creating a separate user account on the Mac that is dedicated to file sharing. Give that account access only to the files/folders you want to share. You can then give that user account name and password to your Windows users.
