OS X server repeats GID with new group creation

Hello--
I'm running ML 10.8.5/OS X Server 2.2.2 on a 2010 Mac Mini.  Today I went to create two new local network groups (call them group1 and group2) using Server and I noticed the GID numbering started over at 50001, thus duplicating Workgroup and the second group I've been using for quite some time.  When I went to delete group2 in Workgroup Manager, it complained I did have permission to perform the action, but appears to have completed it any way.  I then changed the GID for group1 (using Workgroup Manager) but that left a messed up ACE for the group folder.  So, I deleted most of entries in the ACL and added back an entry for group1 (confirmed in Workgroup Manager as GID 50005) in the ACL, however, it still showed as group of Workgroup using "ls -le" but group1 as the name when viewing the folder through Finder cmd-I. 
There seems to be enough weirdness that I'm going to delete the group and shared folder, run a file permission check on the volume (external drive), and then recreate the group, confirm the GID is unique, and then create the share.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone experienced this behavior?
2) Is it indicative of other bigger issues?
Thank you.
Tim

Thanks, Linc--
Unfortunately, things went downhill fast.  When I started to poke around the boot RAID, I found it had come apart again (even after replacing a failing drive about a month ago).  I guess I had used up my 9 lives, because the rebuild failed and I have a paperweight now. 
I'm heading out on vacation, but will be spending my Thanksgiving Day rebuilding the server and getting as much data from the postgresql databases or back ups as I can.  All the regular user data is on another volume so that is safe, although mapping uids will probably be a pain.  I think my OD backup may be fresh enough if I can get it out of Time Machine. 
I was thinking about Profile Manager before I saw your post, and was thinking I should make that the central point of my system administration for users/groups/devices.  I need to search for a primer.  I really wasn't using Workgroup Manager much, mostly would bring it up because Server doesn't really provide much useful info.
I may even go ahead and leap to Mavericks/Server 3 since I'm not sure I have anything to lose at this juncture.
Sigh...I'm really losing my patience with OS X/Server.  Although I've had this particular set up running for a little over a years, it has not been without issues.  This may be the last round before I abandoned it altogether.
Cheers, Tim

  • Problem with "new Group()" performance

    As Bonzo mentioned this doesn't seem to be a Group problem as Canvas also has some long times.  UIComponent is lighter than both Canvas and Group and it still has  a couple entries longer than a few ms.  Notice that using Sprite or GraphicElement is much faster.  GraphicElement is very lightweight, are you able to use it instead of a Group? 100,000 Groups seems like a lot, can you explain your use case, maybe there is a way to use virtual layout to minimize the number needed at any one time?
    I think the container.push() call might be causing a lot of the delay, if you use:
    private var container:Array = new Array(100000);
    container[i] = grp;
    You should see less large delay times.  It might be good to try using a Vector instead of an Array like Bonzo suggested too.

  • What is causing day old notifications to repeat along with new notifications?

       About a year ago my Instagram began repeating a old notification, it repeated along with a new notification. It was never consistent, it stopped then started, went on for a couple hours or sometimes all day. Nothing that I was doing caused or stopped the notifications. The notification was different everyday. I have screenshots. I googled around, all I could gather was that very few people were coming forward with similar problems and little information about what was causing it was available. I was using my iPod 5th gen. This is what it the repeat notification would look like,
            @Robyn_1 liked your photo now
            @matt1 liked your photo yesterday, 9:29pm
            @Robyn_1 liked your photo 25 seconds ago
            @Robyn_1 like you photo 1 minute ago
          I signed into my account on my husbands phone and watched for repeat notifications but it never happened once. I made a new account with Instagram thinking my account may have been hacked. But it never stopped.
    I called apple, my iPod still being under warranty I had a free call or something. I blabbed away, happy to tell someone who would perhaps help me. Only to get cut off 5 minutes in getting no help whatsoever. I never called back. I upgraded with my cable/internet company and had a new modem or router ( unsure what the difference is) delivered. It was over a week before the notifications began again. I called again and had my modem reset but It continued.
    Meanwhile, I had noticed a lag in the response time while typing, I'm trying to say that I could type entire sentences before my iPod would catch up.This is when I started watching my crash logs, looking for anything that might help me understand why this was happening. That's when I found "Bad magic", a mysterious process(?). A google search brought up nada. I posted on a developer forum asking "What is Bad magic" and I was told by one person that he'd never heard tell of it and to report it to the bug reporter. I never did, because I don't know how.  I have screenshots. But I don't know how to load them. Here is a piece of one of the logs. Listed under  ExcResource_MobileSafari.

  • New group creation in ML

    is it necessary to run a pulldown command to create a NEW GROUP in the ML version of Contacts?
    in the past i clicked on the red doohicky in the middle, saw groups and was able to check on the plus mark as i recall.
    am i missing something here?
    also, i seem to have dragged a GROUP into a GROUP (when i tried to drag just the contacts in this group into the other group...) and i see this group with two people icons (one smaller than the other) /inside/ the other group.
    i have tried RMB and dragging and Delete but i cannot get rid of it. any ideas?
    TIA

    man, when am i going to stop feeling like a dope with some of this stuff?
    fist image is showing what i am looking at when i can't find a way to add a group without using the pulldown.
    second images is showing a "sub-group" that i think was created by selecting all the contacts in a group and dragging them to another group. this one does not seem to delete.

  • Server wont communicate with new network switch.

    Hi, I hope someone can help.
    I have a small office network running Macs with OS 10.6.4, HPs with Windows XP, and a mac mini server running 10.6.4 server, file sharing only.
    DHCP and internet access etc is controlled by a Netgear ADSL router. All machines are connected by a 16 port 10/100 Netgear switch.
    The problem is I replaced the switch with a 10/100/1000 switch and all machines connect fine except the server. This will not connect at all with the new switch, not even do any lights come on. However if I connect the server to the old 10/100 switch then to the new gigabit switch it connects fine but this defeats the purpose of the gigabit access to the server and the high speed macs on the network. The reason I upgraded in the first place! The standard Macs are Imac G5 Intel based late Snow leopard models and they have no trouble with the new switch.
    Does Snow Leopard server somehow remember specific hardware on the network when setup? And needs to be changed to recognize the new?? I tried switching everything off and restarting the whole network.
    I don't have a heap of knowledge but thought this should have been simple.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers, paul

    Thanks for the reply.
    No it is not managed, No uplink port, uplink is auto controlled on any port.
    I have swapped and swapped and swapped this is what led me to using the old switch on the server.
    This is what happens.
    Putting the server cable from the server into the new gigabit switch Tried with 300m cable directly next to it. No connection on any of the 16 ports. tried several cables including longer ones etc.
    Now if I use the same cable from the gigabit switch to any port on the old switch then connect a cable from any other port of the old switch to the server. Connection, no problems at all. I.E the Old switch is uplinking to the new.
    It is as if the server says "hey where is the old switch I can't work without it" Thats why I thought maybe OS X server kept some sort of register of the devices when it is initially setup and this may need to be changed.
    Also any other computer works fine when placed at the same access point as the server including the Standard Snow leopard Macs.
    I am thinking maybe to reinstall the server OS to see what happens?
    Was supposed to be a simple job. Both switches are physically exactly the same. Pull a cable out of port 1 and stick it in port 1 of the new switch etc plug it in and turn it on????

  • Necessary variables in new group creation

    I am working on a script to create a new user and matching group using the niutil command. When I create my group in the script, I assign a gid and name. Thus, in netinfo manager, the "name" and "gid" properties are listed for the group. However, when I create the same user/group through "accounts" in the System Preferences, both "passwd" and "generateduid" properties are also generated and listed in the NetInfo Manager.
    1. What properties are necessary for a group in OSX 10.4 (Tiger) to function properly?
    2. If the "passwd" and "generateduid" properties are necessary for the group to function properly, then how do I create these properties via a script or the command line?
    Thanks!
    Mac OS X (10.4.10)

    man, when am i going to stop feeling like a dope with some of this stuff?
    fist image is showing what i am looking at when i can't find a way to add a group without using the pulldown.
    second images is showing a "sub-group" that i think was created by selecting all the contacts in a group and dragging them to another group. this one does not seem to delete.

  • Issue with new user creation

    We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.
    I am creating a new user using sharred services console and assigning a group to it which is already provisioned.
    Now i am able log in using this new user to the workspace but when i open the application, it gives an error 'failed to sync with user provisioning'.
    Even after refreshing the security filters in the database, i am unable to see the newly created user in the manage security filter list.
    Kindly help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you checked the logs are you getting any detailed error message?
    Have you tried loggin Planning application directly via 8300 port?
    Is it a migrated application?
    Is the direct provisioning works?
    Finally if nothing works, i usually give a try to below two utilities:

  • Problem with new user creation in Oracle 10g

    I have created a new user and assigned it the required privileges as shown below:
    GRANTEE GRANTED_ROLE ADM DEF
    SACHIN1 CONNECT NO YES
    SACHIN1 RESOURCE NO YES
    SACHIN1 SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE NO YES
    I am able to connect to database using this user username/password but when I am trying to fire any query like one below or to access any dictionary views it shows me the error message:

    select * from dept
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    What is that i am missing which is not set right for this user....Let me know

    user8531525 wrote:
    DEPT table exists as I am able to access when I login using default name SCOTT.
    If its not in my schema how can i include that so that i have access to it.You can use dynamic SQL to generate a script that should work:
    SELECT 'grant select on '||OWNER||'.'||TABLE_NAME||' to SACHIN1;' as script
    FROM dba_tables
    WHERE owner='SCOTT';
    This example generates the following:
    grant select on SCOTT.DEPT to SACHIN1;
    grant select on SCOTT.EMP to SACHIN1;
    grant select on SCOTT.BONUS to SACHIN1;
    grant select on SCOTT.SALGRADE to SACHIN1;
    Eg:
    SQL> conn sys/oracle as sysdba;
    Connected.
    SQL> grant select on scott.a to rajesh;
    Grant succeeded.
    SQL> conn rajesh/rajesh;

  • New WSUS on Server 2012 - problem with win8 clients

    Hi,
    Two weeks ago we created a new Server 2012 and installed the WSUS role from scratch on it.  Its version number is:  6.2.9200.16384.  It replaced a Server 2008 WSUS server.  After some time all the win7 clients updated and reported as
    they did on the old and replaced server.
    However all our win8 clients refuse to update against this server.  They show correctly up in WSUS server console each with 107 needed updates day after day.  We have rebooted them and done numerous wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow and wuauclt
    /detectnow /reportnow, but to no avail.
    I paste in some lines from a win8 client winupdate log at the end of this message if someone can figure out what I have to do to get these clients update as they did against the old wsus server.  Thanks for help on this issue.
    regards Tor

    Today I opened Control Panel / Windows Updates and first did a check for new updates (from the WSUS server).  Nothing was found and it reported Windows is Updated.   Then I clicked the link Check for updates from Microsoft via internet, and
    it found around 24 updates.
    This is confirmation of the point that I made in the previous post. The updates are *NEEDED* by this system, but the updates were not *AVAILABLE* from the assigned WSUS Server. You were able to get them from Windows Update, but that does not fix your continuing
    issue with the WSUS Server.
    but it still reported the original 108 Needed updates.
    Exactly. As previously noted, the client is functioning perfectly. The problem is NOT with the client; the problem is with the WSUS Server. The updates that this client needed were not AVAILABLE to be downloaded from the WSUS server.
    Why this is the case requires further investigation on your part, but is either because the updates are not properly approved, or the update FILES are not yet downloaded from Microsoft to the WSUS server.
    It appears that the wsus server doesn't get any information back from the client despite that it displays new Last contact and Last Status report timestamps.
    This conclusion is incorrect. The WSUS Server got every bit of information available from the client -- you've confirmed this by the number of updates reported as "Needed" by the Windows Update Agent to the WSUS Server.
    I assumed that the log would display if the updates were downloaded or not.
    It will log when the updates are actually downloaded. If there's no log entries for updates being downloaded, then they're not being downloaded. If the logfile says "Found 0 updates", then that means exactly what it says: It couldn't find any approved/available
    updates to download.
    In your case it "Found 11 updates", but now it will be impossible to diagnose that fault, because you went and got them from Windows Update.
    All Win8 versions are checked in the WSUS server's Product list so the updates should at least have been downloaded to the server.
    This is why understanding the infrastructure is so critical. Your conclusion is invalid based on the premise given, and you may be using improper terminology which only confuses the rest of us as well.
    First, selecting updates for synchronization only gets the update metadata (i.e. the detection logic) downloaded to the WSUS database.
    The Second Step in this process is to Approve those updates for one or more WSUS Target Groups that contain the appropriate client systems. Following the approval of an update, the WSUS Server downloads the INSTALLATION FILE for that update.
    Once the WUAgent sees an approved update and the installation file is available, then the WUAgent will download the file and schedule the update for installation.
    Most of the post I read about my problem is about upgrading a 2008 WSUS server to support Win8 / Server 12 clients.  When I try to run this update on my Server 12 WSUS it refuses to run (probably because it is for Server 2008).
    Yeah.. totally different issue in those posts than what you're describing here.
    What should I do to try to track down the problem?
    Well.... now that it's 11 days since the logfile was posted, and you've already updated that system, we'll first need to find another system exhibiting the same issue.
    Then I'll need to ask a number of questions to properly understand the environment, as well as what you have or have not done.
    Then, from there, we can attempt to figure out why your Windows 8 client apparently sees some updates as approved/available but is still not downloading them. We do not yet have sufficient information to even speculate on a possible cause -- there are several.

  • I can not update a Windows Server 2008 R2 with Software Update Group in SCCM2012

    Hi all,
    I got some problems with update deployments these days.
    I try to configure SCCM2012 to update 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 (with Hyper-V / This server is in a cluster)
    Actually i've 4 other Hyper-V servers and i would like to add one more in the cluster called Hyper-V5. To do that i need that all Hyper-V servers use the same Windows Updates.
    I created a collection for my Hyper-V servers and then a Software Update Group with all needed updates (checked the list of another HV-Server).
    I did a deployment on this collection using this new Software Update Group.
    I checked the Sofwtare Center's logs on the Hyper-V5 server and i saw that synchronization has a successfull state.
    But there is no updates installed or displayed in Sofwtare Center.
    Here is some screenshots : Oh no i can't post image because ... "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account." waiting to be verified since months.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Have you try to run Software Updates Scan Cycle and Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle Actions on the client? Please check ScanAgent.log and PolicyAgent.log to see whether the client received the updates deployment policy.

  • When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

    When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
    2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
    Sincerely
    Ketil Hothorp

    Hello Ketil,
    Good Day...
    Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
    Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.
    Regards,

  • SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Displays Error With "New Query" and Intellisense Works Intermittenly

    I was upgrade to SQL Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 was upgraded with SP1 the same day.  This is x64 machine. 
    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio      11.0.2100.60
    Microsoft .NET Framework      4.0.30319.261
    Operating System      6.1.7601
    Problem 1) With SQL Server Management Studio, selecting "New Query" a warning box is displayed: "The 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.VisualStudioIntegration2010Package, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.VisualStudioIntegration2010,
    Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=netutral, PublicKeyToken=null' package did not load correctly.    The problem mayhave been cuased by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension.  You can get more information by running the
    application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file ...\AppDate\Roaming\Microsoft\AppEnv\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'.  Continue to show this error message?
    Problem 2) In a Query Initellisense works intermittently but most of the time it will not display anything.  I have tried Edit|Intellisense|Refresh Cach size and also seperately, Edit | Intellisense | List Members but neither has helped.  Also
    tried different selections for Tools|options| T-SQL | Intellisense| Maximum Script Size; no luck either. 

    Hi WallyJim,
    For your first problem, possible workaround:
    In Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs), right click the Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 Optional Update 1 program and select change. Remove the VisualStudio2010 integration.
    Then, install the EnterpriseLibrary Configuration extension from Microsoft via the Extension Manager in VS2010. This will allow you to launch the configuration editor from VS2010, but will not be installed for SSMS.
    For more information, please refer to
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/620532/error-message-on-new-query-window-opening.
    For your second problem, the following conditions might affect the behavior of IntelliSense:
    There is a code error above the cursor.
    The insertion point is inside a code comment.
    The insertion point is inside a string literal.
    The automatic options are turned off.
    For more information, refer to Troubleshooting IntelliSense (SQL Server Management Studio):

    Thanks,

  • I keep receiving a server error message with the new beta version of iMessage.  What can I do to fix this?

    I keep receiving a server error message with the new beta version of iMessage.  What can I do to fix this?

    Ok I have a question.
    Why do you want to use Beta software? Especially since you are having this problem with it?
    Uninstall it and forget about it until it is released as a real piece of software.

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:
