Network users doesn't show up on snow leopard client

Hello,
I am having a weird problem with my snow leopard client that won't show a list of the network users.
The server is a open directory server and other snow leopard client can show the list of the network users on login screen except one. I've tried different connections via ethernet or via wireless. (I have 2 client set up at the moment, they are exactly the same clone, client #1 show the list of network user but not client #2).
client #2 will immediately recognize the network accounts are available upon start-up but won't show the list. The computers are added to workgroup manager's computer list and is managed but if the network list doesn't show up on the client that makes the client un-managed.
Could anyone kindly give me advise please?
Thanks!

Hi
+". . . they are exactly the same clone . . ."+
This might be where your problem begins and ends? If you joined client # 1 to OD and then cloned this to create client # 2 then you're probably going to have the problems you're seeing?
If you want all your workstations to be the same it's best to remove any references to any LDAP Server as well as any TGTs. It's also a good idea to give each client workstation unique names prior to joining an LDAP Directory after they've been imaged. You can create a NetBoot Image with an associated workflow that will define unique names as well as join an LDAP Directory as Post Install actions.
The above assumes you actually meant to post in the appropriate Snow Leopard Forum rather than the 10.4 one? Perhaps you should have posted here:

  • Network user cannot migrate AppleMail account from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.1.

    I have a network user that is trying to open Apple Mail on a mini running Lion 10.7.1 for the first time.  This user previously used a mini that is running Snow Leopard.  Apple Mail is trying to perform an import I assume because Apple Mail 5 on the Lion is different then the version running on Snow Leopard?  The import fails and says to press Continue to allow the Migration Assistant to create a new library.  When we do this, the system responds that the Mail Index is damaged, to quit and reopen Mail so it can be repaired.  We get the same set of messages when we close and go back into Mail.
    When I access the console logs, here is what I saw:

    My interpretation of this message is that either the ACL or POSIX permissions are not set correctly for the user.  When I log into Server Admin and check this though, ACL is set to allow Full Control for the user's folder and all children folders.  The POSIX is set to Read&Write for the user's folder and all of the children files.
    I read some of the discussions and tried removing all of the contents of the V2-Temp file, but this creates the same result.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Ipod doesn't show up after snow leopard update

    since i made the snow leopard update my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes, in iPhoto it still works... any ideas to solve my problems?

    First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
    If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...

  • Tiger server, Snow Leopard Client and Illustrator CS4

    We have a strange problem happening with the one Snow Leopard client we have accessing our Tiger server. In certain directories (not in all) if the user opens an Illustrator CS4 file, makes changes and goes to save the file they get the message that the file is either locked or in use by another user (it is not). This does not happen with any other kind of file in that same directory. The server is connect to AD so the user accounts come from the AD but on this machine we have the same problem regardless of the user account used to mount the server volume. It also doesn't matter if I use a local account on the server to mount instead of AD. I have the same problem if I connect via SMB instead of AFP. Other machines (Leopard) can work on these files with no problems.
    A couple of other bits of information which might be useful. If the user opens the file, does a save as to the same name and same folder and replaces the original they can work on the file and save it with no problems. As soon as they close the file and reopen it they have the problem again. Also, if they run into the problem, close all programs on the computer and try to unmount the server volume they get the message that the volume is in use and cannot be ejected. I have checked and there are no invisible files being created in the directory where this file resides.
    What is strange is that the problem does not happen in all directories although when it happens it is repeatable in that directory. Happens every time. I have tried changing the name of the folder to something simple and it still happens.
    Any suggestions on where to go with this problem??

    No progress yet. Have tried a lot of things with preferences on the server. I have confirmed with another snow leopard machine that this is not related to the machine in any way. I have not yet had a chance to test it on another Tiger server but given the fact that you are seeing it as well I would say there is a problem with the two operating systems cooperating.
    As I said, I do have a temporary workaround. If you do a save as with the document, choose to overrite the original it works and then lets you continue to work on that file and save for that session. After you close the file and reopen the problem returns but at least for that session you are fine.

  • Address book and ical not working for snow leopard clients

    We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
    At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

  • Snow Leopard Client Dock Behavior & Binding to Snow Leopard Server

    Hi,
    I am at a loss on this issue. I am running a test server and client. I had bound my client to the server and was having difficulties with the dock settings on the client. I assumed it was a managed preferences issue on the server, so I checked all the ones I knew to check. It didn't appear that my client dock was being managed by my server. The problem was that the dock would switch from auto-hide to fixed and the preferences under dock could not be altered on the client.
    I've found that the only way to resolve this problem is to unbind the client from the server. Can anyone tell me what I need to be looking for within the server? Could there be an inherited preference from somewhere within the server?
    The other element to this is that this issue didn't arise until after I upgraded to 10.6.3. Prior the upgrade I was bound to the server, and the dock was fine. After the upgrade the dock preferences on the client were no longer able to be managed.
    I am new to server and need some help.
    Thanks

    Thanks!
    So, when I click Join..., type in the server, and then click on the Set Up Services button, I enter the username and password for the account I created on Snow Leopard Server. It switches the sheet to show that it's "Joining the server", and then fails with: "kGotAuthenticationFailure". The Password Service Server Log shows that is actually succeeded: "AUTH2: {0x4b5897f87cada0f20000001500000015, diana} DIGEST-MD5 authentication succeeded".
    If I actually enter an incorrect password, it right away gives me an "Authentication failed" message right below the password dialog in red.
    The console on the Snow Leopard client shows:
    10-01-21 11:10:16 AM System Preferences[248] -[ODCOSXServerJoinController(XSServiceDiscoveryProtocol) gotServicesInfo:fromServer:error:]: got error kGotAuthenticationFailure
    I don't see any other messages on the server that might explain this. Any ideas?
    This server was upgraded from Leopard Server, if that matters...

  • Snow leopard clients can no longer connect after 10.7.3 update.

    Hey,
    We updated to 10.7.3 on the server side and our snow leopard clients can no longer connect. Our lion clients have no trouble connecting.
    They recieve an box saying an error occured, with no other information.
    Any ideas?

    How are you trying to connect to your Lion Server? AFP? VNC? SMB?

  • Leopard Server and Snow Leopard Clients

    We have Leopard Servers in our school district. People are purchasing new Macs with Snow Leopard installed. Can the Snow Leopard Clients be managed reliably with Leopard Server?

    Outlook 2007 has limited support for 'Internet calendars' http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA101673251033.aspx
    Outlook 2003 has none.
    Outlook 2010 may have more but is not out yet.
    You may find add-ins but if they have their heart set on Outlook it might be better to try Microsoft Online Services which is cheap, or Windows Live Small Business which is free I think (or used to be) - that way they dont need a server at all, although their data would be 'in the cloud'.
    I would tell your friend not to run mixed versions of Outlook in any case. Perhaps its time to buy 7 MacBook Pros

  • Does ARD Admin 3.6.x work with Snow Leopard Clients

    Our school would like to make a volume purchase of ARD, which is only available for Mountain Lion/Lion. At present, we are using Snow Leopard on all our computers. If we upgrade the teachers' computers to Mountain LIon and give them ARD 3.6.x, will they be able to view/administer Snow Leopard clients? It would be great to hear from someone who has done this in a school setting.
    If anyone involved with ARD support is listening, it would be nice to see an ARD admin versus ARD client compatibility table in the specifications for this very useful product.

    The current release of the ARD adminstrator application works fine with my Snow Leopard clients which have the 3.5.3 client, though I only have a few and my use is pretty modest. You may get feedback from others who use ARD with a larger client base.
    Regards.

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard (Client) to Snow Leopard Server

    Hi,
    can I upgrade from Snow Leopard client (10.6.3) to the Server (10.6.3) without having to reformat my disk and delete all the apps etc?
    Thanks

    Hi Michele,
    Upgrading from 10.6 to 10.6 Server is unfortunately not possible without an erase and install of the Server OS.
    If you want to preserve your Client OS initially, you could split the primary disk partition and install 10.6 Server on the other partition, then remove the Client OS partition when ready and reclaim the disk space for the Server partition.

  • OS X Snow Leopard Server want to go to Snow Leopard Client

    I want to essentially blow away Server and install Snow Leopard client. I have a MacMini, just bought it. Restarting the typical way won't let me install the client OS from Server. What's a way to install client over server.
    Thanks

    IIRC, you need the client install disc. However, I don't muck with OS X Server, so you should check the server forums.

  • Can a Snow Leopard client connect to a Lion Server?

    I have an XSAN setup with two Mac Mini servers.
    I have a few Xserve lying around and I want to make use of them.
    One Duo Core which is not working at the moment. I think I can install Lion on that one? Right?
    Then I have two G5 - none intel, which I'm thinking I'll reinstall Snow Leopard on and use them as clients.
    Can they connect to a Lion Server? I have a few XSAN licenses left which I think I need for OS's older than Lion?
    I short, can a Snow Leopard client connect to a Lion Server?

    One Duo Core which is not working at the moment. I think I can install Lion on that one? Right?
    You can't install Lion on a Core Duo-based system It requries Core2 Duo as a baseline. The Core Duo is a 32-bit chip whereas the Core2 Duo is 64-bit.
    Then I have two G5 - none intel, which I'm thinking I'll reinstall Snow Leopard on and use them as clients.
    Nope, again. Snow Leopard requires an Intel-based system. The highest you can go with the PowerPC machines is Leopard (10.5.x)
    Can they connect to a Lion Server? I have a few XSAN licenses left which I think I need for OS's older than Lion?
    This may be irrelevant given the above, but define 'connect' please. There are a myriad of ways of 'connecting' a client to a server. In many cases they don't have to be the same OS, platform, processor or anything else (how many web servers do you think are running Mac OS X to match your client?

  • Binding Snow Leopard Clients to 10.5.8 server 2

    Has anyone found a solution to this infuriating problem of not being able to pair a Snow Leopard client to 10.5.8 server?
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10969925

    I am not sure I am doing what you suggest correctly.
    From the directory utility i was able to pull down the File menu
    and connect to the xserve using the diradmin account. This caused
    a new path to appear in the search policy tab.
    However, i still cannot bind to the server and still get the
    authentication error when I try.
    After rereading your post, I realized that you had added the path
    a different way. So I deleted the one I had added via File -->
    Connect and just went to the Search Policy tab and added a custom
    path the way you said. Same results in the end. I could not bind.
    I may just install 10.5 on these computers and be done with it.
    My method was a little different. In Directory Utility, I went
    to Advanced Settings, hit the '+' and added the open directory
    server. Then I went to the Services tab, selected LDAPv3, and
    hit the little pencil to edit. Then I selected the open
    directory server, hit Edit, and tried to bind, but it wouldn't
    work at first. Back in the Directory Servers tab, I noticed that
    the little status light was grey instead of green. Then I went
    to the Search Policy tab and noticed that the open directory
    server wasn't in the path, so I went to Custom Path and manually
    added it. After that, I was able to bind and the little status
    light went green.
    However, in this process I also did some other messing around on
    the command line. After the first time I tried to bind and
    couldn't, I quit the Directory Utility and opened a Terminal
    window. As root, I wiped out the /private/etc/krb5.keytab file
    and the contents of the /private/var/db/krb5kdc directory, and
    then rebooted. That is:
    cd /private/etc
    sudo mv krb5.keytab krb5.keytab.orig
    cd /private/var/db/krb5kdc
    sudo rm -rf *
    (Be careful with the last command!)

  • Problems with iCal Server 2 and Snow Leopard Clients

    I am currently running iCal Server 2 on Snow Leopard Server, with approximately 6 client computers connected to a single shared calendar account.  I have digest authentication enabled, and am thus using Kerberos (but not SSH), as well as 3 iPhones. 
    Upon initial connection, I can get all the clients - computers and phones - to properly pull down all the calendar data, and match one another.  However, several of the computers are having trouble updating properly when new events are added.  After some troubleshooting, it seems that the computers running Snow Leopard are not properly updating with events that are entered from other computers, either Snow Leopard or Leopard.  They can, however, post events to the server themselves without any errors.  Interestingly, the Leopard computers can push and pull updated events just fine, and will update with new events whether they originated from a Snow Leopard or a Leopard client.
    We had some recurring login/authentication issues a while back, which seemed to resolve when I disabled digest authentication; I'm wondering if perhaps that has something to do with the problems now.  We're mostly using BusyCal as client software, with the iPhones obviously using iCalendar.
    Just looking to see if anyone else has had similar problems, with Leopard clients working well and Snow Leopard clients having issues.  Thanks!

    Noby_me,
    A lot of folk are having major issues with many Adobe programs and Snow Leopard. You are not alone. For many, rolling-back to Leopard has been the cure. From "word on the street," it appears that Apple is aware of these issues and are working on an OS update. I have no schedule, but that word was out about a month ago, so let's hope that the update is soon in coming.
    You might want to do a Search on this, the Encore and the PS fora for "Snow Leopard." There are plenty articles.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Where is the MailAccounts.plist stored for a network user account using Apple Mail on Snow Lion?

    Where is the MailAccounts.plist file stored for a network user using Apple Mail on Snow Leopard?  It appears one of my users has managed to do something to their mail account as Apple Mail will no longer close once opened and the Sent Folder has a perpetual spinning pinwheel.

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.
