OSX server workgroup manager Won't allow me to add a group because it thinks there is already one

OSX server workgroup manager Won't allow me to add a group because it thinks there is already one. Anyone can help with solution.

Worked it out all I had to do was put workgroup manager into local and delete group/s

  • Address Book won't allow me to add another 'group'....

    ....it's Address Book version 3.1.2.
    I currently have 6 groups (not counting 'All', 'Directories' or 'Last Import'). I would like to add another group but nothing happens when I click on + below the group column nor does clicking on 'new group' under the file drop-down menu.
    Is there a fix for this problem???

    OK good, all your programs should be in the top level (they are accessible for all users when you have multiple accounts on your mac).
    The fact that user/applications/ is empty means you never installed a program only for that user (sounds a bit stupid when you are the only user, but believe me, for testing purposes or kids hanging around, multiple users is a great thing)
    So what is the version that you are launching?
    If lower then v4, you must have another version hanging around somewhere. Try to locate it using Spotlight (Applications checkbox must be ON inside Sporlight preferences)
    IF you find the old one, remove it (make sure it is the old one)
    You probably put it in a folder somewhere that you found more logical, but the update to 10.4 put a fresh one back in the Applications folder, and the link from your dock is still to the old program.
    Remove from the dock and put a fresh one in there by dragging the NEW program icon back into the dock.

  • My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

    My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"  I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

    What are you having problems with ?
    This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

  • Workgroup Manager won't create home directories; no error message

    This is quite frustrating. For the past 3 years or so I have used the same procedure to add new users to my LDAP directory:
    1) In Workgroup Manager, click the New User button
    2) Assign name and password under the basic tab
    3) Assign group memberships under the Groups tab
    4) Under the Home tab, select the right place (nfs://my.server.org/Volumes/Users), click Create Home Now
    5) Click Save
    Suddenly, when I try to do this yesterday, workgroup manager won't create home directories anymore. I could probably do it manually, but I'm not sure how to get all the right skeleton setup in there. But my main question is, why doesn't this work anymore? Why can't I at least get an error message instead of being silently ignored?
    I share admin duties with other people, so it's possible someone installed an update recently; all I can really say is that I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.8 right now, and can find out whatever else is relevant.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the pointer to createhomedir - that did indeed do the trick. (How on earth do people find these little nuggets).
    I hesitate to mark this as solved however - it's a functioning workaround, but does nothing to explain why on earth the GUI suddenly stopped functioning.
    But in the (likely) event that that question never gets answered, thanks again for letting me get on with working!

  • When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

    When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full. I have restarted my phone and the computer multiple times, but it still tells me that my phone is full.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

    My app store won't allow me to download any apps because of pervious purchase which I never purchased ?

    I'm sure you purchased it since no one else would have your password to download apps
    Make sure your CC has funds on it and its up to date on your itunes store account.

  • My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up.  It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for.

    My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up.  It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for. It has been working fine for years.  All of a sudden I keep getting a message that TC (time capsule) cannot complete back up as it is already in use.  I am doing the backups automatically through Time Capsule.

    Restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter. When it's back online, open the AirPort Utility application and check to see whether there's a firmware update for it.

  • Bridge won't allow me to open Camera Raw because a qualifying product has not been launched, any suggestions?

    Bridge won't allow me to open Camera Raw because a qualifying product has not been launched, any suggestions?

    Actually, it may be more to it. I just wasted good 7 hours on the issue: I transferred a big external drive from old WinXp system to my new W7 system, and faced the ownership mayhem ever since.
    No matter what I did to the Volume Owner, Files Owner and attributes, recursive Directory Ownership jobs enduring tens of minutes at a time, nothing helped really.
    Because you might have one more issue:
    Use "Folder Options", either from Tools menu in Explorer, if menu shows, or via Control Panel.
    Click on View tab, and find the box for "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)". Ignore that recommendation, uncheck.
    Go now to the root directory of your troubled drive and you will see a hidden file "System Volume Information". This can be the "bad guy." Ensure that you have access to that file using the Properties / Security tab in a customary fashion! In my case that file was "padlocked", a small lock icon was placed over the folder icon to indicate that.
    Only once I changed that, I was able to access the LR catalogs as a regular user. And only than LR was finally able to access existing previews and to display the grid image icons!
    Ugrh.... Windows, the "personal computer system" is a mess, a labyrinth of convoluted intertwined dependencies, maybe created in competing departments and piled up atop of each other in an unseemly fashion. Compared to Unix and its derivatives it is a nightmare, which is a part of our lives for decades already.
    I think that all the Apple users are now double-happy to have made the transition, when they see such "problems."

    Sounds like you have multiple Apple IDs, which causes a myriad of issues.  Go here to straighten it out.  Be forewarned that it's a pain.

  • Oracle Wallet Manager won't allow me to create a certificate request

    Hello,
    I am trying to setup my installation with SSL, I am trying to create a certificate request on Oracle Wallet Manager and I keep getting this error:
    "Could not create certificate request. Please check user information"
    I am entering the following information:
    Common Name: portal.grupoalsea.com.mx
    Organizational Unit: Desarrollo
    Organization: Sistema Integral de Administracion, S.A. de C.V.
    Locality/City: Distrito Federal
    State/Province: Mexico
    Country: Mexico
    Key Size: 1024 bits
    Why could this be happening? Does Oracle Wallet Manager go and look for my info some place? Common Name is the name for my site on WebCache, which is in turn mapped to the HTTP Server called Mservicio.localdomain.
    At this point, I have also tried setting the Common Name to other values, like the name of my HTTP Server, the name of my HTTP server without the "localdomain", but I still get the same message.
    Any help will be really appreciated!!!!

    Problem was due to a bug that won't allow to enter commas in Organization Name. All we needed to do is remove the comma from the Organization name and the certificate was correctly created.

  • Workgroup Manager Won't Authenticate Anymore

    I'm using 10.5.2 on both a client and a server and I'm seeing some weirdness with Workgroup Manager. Last week, I had no problem using workgroup manager on my machine to connect to the server. Today, WM is not allowing me (or any other admin accounts) to authenticate at all remotely. If I screen share to the desktop of the server and run workgroup manager, I can use my credentials to authenticate.
    What I'm seeing in the system.log is "Client response doesn't match what we generated" I found the relevant article here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306596
    Following up from that article, I did some digging in the Password Service logs. When I try to login remotely to Workgroup Manager, the logs show this:
    Feb 19 2008 09:49:47 AUTH2: {0x4787f45616bdec6b0000000600000006, mbydalek} DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect).
    This line gets repeated 4 times.
    When I'm on the server locally and authenticate, it uses CRAM-MD5 and authenticates successfully.
    I did find the following article talking about testing authentication, etc. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302942 All the methods described in there work test successfully.
    Something really strange is going on here because my user can authenticate to AFP, SSH, etc. just fine - just not Workgroup Manager remotely.
    I'm going to further chalk it up to weirdness because what I'm trying to do this morning is add a new user (normally a 2 min job). Adding the user from the manager on the server is fine, but it throws an error when trying to create the home directory.
    Lastly, I thought it could be my machine, but I've kinit'd, afp'd, etc. from my machine without a problem.
    Anyone have any other ideas that I can try?

    Thanks for the pointer to createhomedir - that did indeed do the trick. (How on earth do people find these little nuggets).

  • VPP Distribution issues with OSX Server Profile Manager

    Hi, I have a new issue with my OSX 10.9.5 Server. I use VPP to distribute apps to users devices, when I would add a new user I would send them an invitation message through /profilemanager . All was working well until recenetly , the message still arrives in the users mailbox however when you click the "sign in" link on the "receive apps and books from xxxxx" email instead of opening through the Mac App store app it now opens Safari and connects to the profile manager server , any ideas ? it never has done this before and although I thought it was a new feature or method I can not seem to resolve the issue.

    Hi if when you are redirected back to your Mac Server you enter the user name and password of the user you are trying to receive VPP apps for i.e the Open Directory credentials it will then open the App Store providing the credentials are correctly entered so it looks like an additional layer of security. The process is click on the link in the VPP invite email, this takes you to your Mac Server profile manager, log on with your OD account, App store then opens on your Mac like it used to.

  • 10.6.8 Server - workgroup manager not authenticated

    I have 10.6.8 Server that has suddenly stopped accepting the dradmin password when using Workgroup Manager.  Workgroup Manager connects, but in not authenticated mode.  When I click the lock icon and am prompted for the ID & Password it is rejected.  I know with 100% certainty I am using the correct administrator ID and password.  I am running Workgroup Manager directly on the server computer.  I'm able to log on to the computer as the local administrator. Server Admin works fine with no authentication issues.
    I have not applied the 10.6.8 Supplemental update, but wonder if that might be helpful.
    It is very concerning to be locked out of my own server. Any suggestions why this is happening and how to reslove it? 
    Thank you,
    -Joe

    The logs revealed that dradmin was actually authenticating successfully, but for some reason Workgroup Manager was still in unauthenticated mode.  I installed 10.6.8 Supplemental update and found no improvement.
    All users have portable home directories and everything with Open Directory was functioning properly.  DNS and Kerberos were confirmed to be working properly.  Several restarts and shutdown/startups were performed and I never was able to get Workgroup Manager to authenticate.  So after a few hours troubleshooting last weekend I decided to restore the server to a disk image that was created 20 days earlier.  I elected to do this this because I needed to get it resolved on the weekend to minimize the chance of downtime during business hours.  The only thing on the boot drive is the server OS an everything else is stored on an external RAID so it was fairly simple for me to restore then get everything current again.
    I kept an image of the server with the problem so I can restore it to a standby server to experiment with any possible fixes that I may come across in the future.  As of now I don't know why it happened nor how to fix it without restoring.
