Profile Manager, Push, Kerberos and other oddities

Hey all,
First time setting up a Mac Server on our network, thought we'd give Lion a try since we're seeing more and more Macs make their way into our ranks. I'm having issues with the following areas, hopefully someone could shed some light.
Push
I can't for the life of me get push to work behind our Firewall. I opened up TCP Port 5223 as outlined in the Apple Docs but that doesn't get me anywhere. Do I need to NAT that port to the lion server? I thought that push sent notifications down to individual machines and then they went and grabbed the new config from the server? How does a firewall with NAT know what machine to send the notification to? Any help would be appreciated.
Also, what are you supposed to manage users with, the Work Group Manager or the Profile Manager. It seems like apple is moving away from the WGM style of management, although you can't do everything in PM, like setting up home folders etc. Very confusing to a novice.
Email Addresses in Profile Manager configurations and Webmail.
I might be missing something really simple here, but no matter what I do the Profile Manager spits out a default payload for email with our FQDN as the email address for the user ([email protected]). I have set the local alias and checked the checkbox to allow our example.com domain to work. Manually setting the email address to [email protected] works just find. I'm a bit bothered that everytime I push a configuration out to a device I'll have to go back in and manually change the email address. Has anyone figured out how to change that?
In webmail it always lists the email address as [email protected] instead of [email protected]. You can go in and edit the identity and all is right with the world, but that's sort of a pain? Seems like common sense that you could set that as the default.
Kerberos
I was excited to get a Single Sign On solution going for our users since it would come in handy, however, straight out of the box it just doesn't work.I'm also not sure what to look for in the logs to make sure that things are working smoothly. I'm joinging the client machines to the server by going into users and clicking join. Selecting the server from the drop down and hitting submit. Do I have to set up a search order and all that jazz or is that set up automatically then. I can see that I'm getting tickets with the Ticket Viewer but I'm still getting prompted for passwords in mail, ichat, AFP etc. Close to giving up on that front.
Any help or general words of encouragement appreciated.

Push
You've opened the secure iChat port to have push notifications working? Take a look here for the right ports:
http://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.7/#apdCA9A73CE-5F0C-4BDC-93E8-2 952C362FA3E.
On that page are all port numbers you need to forward to your server.
Email
The addresses being displayed as [email protected] is a bug in Lion Server in my opinion, you can file a bug report at apple.com/feedback.
Kerberos
Is as poorly documented as invisible in OS X Lion Server. Single Sign-On is a great tool for making services more user-friendly, it should be top of mind at Apple. You can file an enhancement request at apple.com/feedback.

Hanging start up and other oddities

Hanging Startup and other oddities
I'm not especially proficient with the upkeep and terminology that comes with the programming aspect of Macs, so, if you do help, if you could please put whatever advice you have in lay terms, it would really help me out.
I've had my laptop computer for going on three years now, and I've never had a problem like this before. My machine started to really slow down yesterday morning, and generally when ever it does that, I just do a quick restart, and everything is back at normal. Well, not so yesterday.
To begin with, it took me to the grey screen, and it just stayed there for about ten minuets. It didn't change, didn't move to load the apple insignia, nothing. So I gave it a forced restart, and it did it again, except it load the apple logo.
Third time, it got me to blue screen. On restart #4 (force restart #3), it finally loads into my desk top, but the slow processing remained. I tried to go in and repair disk permissions, but then it froze up, and I forced a restart. This time, back to the grey screen.
I lost count as to how many time I restarted, but I finally went and rooted out my OS disks, and did a restart with disk 1 in, holding down PR+CtrlApple (It was my understanding that this would zap the P-Ram, and would at lest sort of help with whatever my problem was). Well, it took me to grey screen, but now a small folder is in the center of my screen. going from the finder icon to a "?" in the middle of the folder.
Did a restart holding down the "C" key, and it went into the install screen that launches from the disk. I was able to click through to select the drive I wanted, then my hard drive didn't show up as a possible selection. Yet ANOTHER C key restart, and this time it showed up.
Went through the first loading screen, where it is checking permissions, and everything's fine, but when I get to the installation process, it tells me there is an error with my perimeters, and I should restart and try again. Did this again, and I had to start over from square one.
I tried just a normal restart after three or four attempts at an installation, and now, whenever I load it without C depressed, a grey box shows up in the middle of my screen with an image of the globe on it, and it flashes. Nothing else loads until I do a restart.
It's my impression this, obviously, isn't a good sign and I should get in contact with someone who knows what they're doing and can walk me through it and get my computer running again. I thought I'd run it by you guys here before I called Apple, and, hopefully, you guys can help me out/help me better describe my problem. Any help you can give - links to other threads, experiences, what something means, what to tell a technician that I'm looking at/going through, anything at all, will help me tremendously.
Thanks for your help and time,

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Owned Since April, 2004

Hey Gary, thanks for the welcome!
By the time I was able to pull your suggestions off of the form, I had already done a few things to my computer, as per recommended by the Apple site. This article is what I was pulling my steps off of.
I started at step 4 (Selecting the "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications") and went through to step 8, semi-step i.
1 - I tried to start up in safe mode (Shift+Restart) and I logged several kernal panic screens before I even got to the apple insignia on a grey screen.
2 - I ran Disk Utility several times, and would come up with an error and a notice that the utility had quit. The first time I ran it, I noticed that it had found a lot of Oprhaned indirect iNodes, and by the second time the utility was ran, they no longer showed up in the right pane of the box. The fifth time it ran, it took roughly two hours to complete, and actually went all the way through.
3 - Still would not load past the grey screen, so I went through and did fsck check a couple of times, and it told me that my machine appeared to be ok. I got all the way through the step where it tells you to run a fsck, then type in a mv Preferences Preferences_old, then did a reboot and let my computer load.
When it finally did load (the actual boot up and load took about ten minuets, which is about seven minuets slower than normal), it took forever to do any commands that I issued. I went through and backed up all of my files onto my external, and then I went to go follow the rest of the step, and my computer froze up. I decided to save the rest of the procedure for today, when I can find some time.
The basic thing that I'm concerned about now is that the machine is running exceptionally slow. It loaded Safari and a couple of other applications I'm always in, but it took roughly ten times longer than normal to do anything.
Since it's recignising the machine and loading into my desktop, I was going to see if I can now do a safe restart and see if I can follow any of the steps that are dictated by the site, but I'm still not certian if that will work. Last time I tried it, I got a kernal panic screen.
Anything I should try?

Self-Published iBook Profile Manager Push?

Is there a way to push a self-published iBook through the 10.7 Profile Manager to deliver it to iPads/iPods? If so, how?

I've solved my own issue, but hope this helps someone else.
On opening the following ports suddenly the queue vanished and all pending actions were pushed.
5223
2195
2196
443
I'm imagining it was something to do with APN requiring these ports.

Profile manager, app passwords and groups

Howdy
First question so be gentle!
We've been using Profile manager for a few months and everything is working fine, but now we have a need to achieve the following:
1. push out apps with usernames and passwords pre-filled (we use a number of apps that we share a login for - I realise this isn't ideal, but it's how the MD wants to do things) - is this possible?
2. Is it possible to organise apps into groups...so travel apps are pushed into a folder called 'Travel' etc.
Cheers
Laurence

I know youve probably already checked but are the ports open on the firewall as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5302 ? I had problems doing the same until it twigged!
Cheers

How do I determine what is my CURRENT Profile, because Profile manager shows 3 and all the Q&As are ambiguous in that respect. Thx.?

Yes, I see ambiguity. I also have some old backed up profiles and I have 3 profiles showing under the Profile Manager. The folder under "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ " shows 2 of them, but HOW do I determine WHICH ONE is my current profile?? So far I was unable to browse up a clear answer. Thx.

Somehow the newest Profile ''(Profile 2)'' ended up in the \Profiles\ folder instead of in it's own Profile folder which would have a name similar to the other two Profiles - 8 alpha / numeric string ''followed by'' a suffix, ''either Firefox assigned or user specified, like JP1''. <br />'''Default=1''' indicates the "active" Profile so we know that is the most current Profile.
<pre><nowiki>[Profile2]
Name=JP1
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles
Default=1 </nowiki></pre>

Getting error reading settings with service profile manager. Why and what can I do to solve problem?

Getting "error reading settings" with the service profile manager in Lion server OS. Why and what can I do to solve problem?

I have also had the 'Error reading settings' problem in Profile Manager, despite trying everything in the discussions and clean reinstalls (which work for a little while only).
It seems that various different fixes work for some people but not others; and the underlying cause of the problem has not been resolved.
There are now numerous threads on this problem (there are yet others with similar problems):

Does anyone know if Apple has acknowledged the issue and offered an official response?

Firefox works fine on version 26. When it updates to version 27, i get undefined entity. I've tried getting profile manager to run and it won't. Need help

Version 26 works fine. When it updates to version 27.01, I get undefined entity. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling. I've tried to bring up profile manager but it doesn't come up. I've tried deleting Firefox folders. I'm very disappointed that Firefox rolls out an update that causes problems. None of your recommendations is working and I really hate to lose Firefox but this is pathetic. I'm using version 26 as much as i can till someone gives me the right solution. Is there a simple link to click on that will clear up any old profiles and simply fix this issue?

That means you need to clean reinstall.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Cannot open firefox or profile manager, checked firewalls and allowed firefox

I restored my system to 3 days before the issue and still won't work. When I run a compatibility check through windows 7 (64 bit) it tells me firefox is not compatible. Until 2 days ago I only used firefox now I have downloaded several times, uninstalled, changed firewall to allow firefox using windows or McAfee security, tried opening profile manager to create a new profile but my computer does nothing.
error message in C:\program files (x86)\Mozilla firefox\browser\chrome.manifest
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You many not have the appropriate permissions to access the item"

Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Yes but my point is that the device may not be able to connect to the internet for a period of time. Thus all devices will have different data on them.
So you are constantly (multiple times per hour/day) changing contacts/calendars on different devices with no internet around?
The data gets sync'd only when it changes.
So you are out in the field with no internet.
You make a change on your iPhone. It doens't get sync'd to your computer.
Who cares,? Yo have the data on your phone and you don't have your computer.
Now you drive back to town. When you get a data connection, everything sync's up.
why remove the functionality to sync everything else at the same time, should the user choose or need to do so.
The Sync Services functionality was removed from the OS, so there is nothing for iTunes to use.
It still works in Windows.

Color profile management across LR and ps CS4

Problem the same file when sent from LR to cs4 for fine tuning looks totally different its color.
Therefore I'd like some advice on how to setup my color profiles for my monitor, LR and Photoshop CS4. I shoot with Canon and the last articles have been advising to go with the Prophoto profile for it's large spectrum.
I can set the monitor and CS4 to that....but what is LR's profile. I can't even FIND the default. I'm sorry. I've poked around and poked around.
I don't have any problems setting the profiles for printing....that part I got.
I only used to use photoshop and didn't have these issues...but I'd like to get the programs sync'd.
My OS is Vista.....shortly to be WIndows 7.
Thanks in advance.

No, the problem is that lots of monitors install profiles that have a
corrupt perceptual rendering intent. This is very strange but unfortunately
true. Especially Dell and Samsung monitors have this issue. Lightroom uses
the perceptual intent if present and Photoshop uses relative to render to
the display profile. This is only an issue on windows machines and you can
check whether this is what is causing your problem by going to your
monitor's properties dialog and clicking on the color management tab. There
you should delete any profile you see. This will make windows assume that
your monitor is sRGB and should make Lightroom and Photoshop render
identically. This is only a test. Both will render the image wrong since
your monitor is unlikely to be exactly sRGB. The ONLY way to get correct
color in any program whether it be Photoshop or Lightroom is to calibrate
and profile your monitor using one of the hockey puck calibrators. You can
have a reasonable one (Spyder 2 or Huey Pro) for under $100. Better ones are
$150 to $250 and often include printer profiling too. The cheapest ones do a
very good job already if you're not too extremely critical.
Note that we have seen literally hundreds of issues like this on this forum
all caused by bad monitor profiles. People only noticed that this was
happening because they compared Lightroom to Photoshop and saw a difference.
They were having bad color in every app before already.

Adobe Application Manager Download Error (and other problems)

Last week I purchased a Creative Cloud membership (Student and Teacher Edition, if that matters at all). When I tried to download applications, the Adobe Application Manager seemed to be unable to connect and instead displayed "Download Error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support." I read some of the responses to this problem on the forums, and after trying several things, I got it to work (I'm honestly not sure what I did that caused it to work). However, it is now failing to work again and I can't seem to fix it this time. As an additional problem, When I tried to open Adobe Premiere Pro (which I managed to download when I got the App Manager working for a while), I got the opening screen that asked me to open a project or start a new project. No matter what I clicked on, Premiere Pro closed with an error message. Just as with the App Manager (and at the same time), I managed to get Premiere Pro to work (it seemed to work after I set permissions so I thought I solved it), so I was able to use it for a day. However, now the problem has returned.
I don't know if these two problems are related, but they started working at the same time and stopped working at the same time, so I'm posting them together in case there is a connection. I am running Windows Vista on my home computer. I can sign on to the creative cloud online without problem so it recognizes me as a creative cloud subscriber. My Internet connection is working fine. I have disabled all firewalls and it still doesn't work. Very frustrating, obviously.
Thanks for your time and any help or suggestions you can give.

Kardypaine for your Internet configuration difficulties I would recommend reviewing Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html.
For the failure of Premiere Pro to open you will want to review the install log to see if you received an installation error.

File Manager Question, Airbrowser and others

Hi There People
I am new to the BB game and have only had my Bold for 1 month and the PB for 2 weeks. I have to say that the BB telephone support is simply fantastic, even with a newbie like me.
I use the BBPB strictly for work, no games, no music, no nothing...except repair orders, small (very) repair manuals, and a parts/price list. Imagine my surprise when I tried to find the file system manager and was told by BB support it doesn't exist, and I would have to use a third party app...fine. Now I have a very simple excel made repair order that I loaded successfully into my BBPB via my desktop software. I have installed "airbrowser" successfully. My issue is that after I made a file named "Repair" and moved that excel file into it, I open airbrowser and can see this file, so far so good, but I cannot open it from that location (inside airbrowser) only from the factory PB file icon will it open, in the airbrowser there is not even a button "open" like in the OEM app.
So my questions are :
Is my airbrowser app defective?
For my needs, = make a simple repair order file that I can search through to find a specific customer, then find the repairs in his name.
Should airbrowser work or should I try something like "Files and Folders" that is talked about here
Should I scrap this idea, and go to something completely different (laptop), any suggestions? I am a field service tech and my needs are very basic for what I thought the machine was capable of doing. Please I really don't want a laptop.
Sorry if this post is too long as I am always trying not to forget some detail. BTW I have used the search button and read 100 posts before writing this.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that !
Yup my file is a .xlsb, which from what I am thinking, might not be supported by airbrowser. So basicaly I'll need to try different excel templates that is recognized by that app.
Yes I saw the "unsupported" button but it was browned out like dissabled so I just thought it was inopperative...of course this was the first time I used the app so I didn't know how it was supposed to look.
jarviser thank you for your input, if I have more questions I will revive this thred.

Several LR3 issues - Crashes, memory dumps, and other oddities

I recently built a new PC dedicated to my photo work.
i7 2600k, 16gb DDR 3 ripjaws, 128GB crucial m4 SSD, (2) x 1TB 7200 HDDs (mirrored), Sapphire Radeon HD 5570.
The first month or so of use LR worked great. However, recently I have been getting several errors and oddities.
1) Randomly closes. I can restart it without a problem and pick back up where I left off. There are not warnings or signs that it is about to close.. it just does.
2) "Unexpected end of file". Unable to edit photo. Preview does show, however. I have never seen this error before on other machines.
3) Memory dumps. I assume this is related to LR3 as that is the only program I am actively using when it happens (Chome is always open as well, however) I will have the dump files examined to know for sure.
4) Something new that just started today. In the preview bar on the bottom, as I scroll through the photos I see the previews of other photos.. some photos from other folders I took weeks or months ago. When I hover over the image it changes to what it should be. I am seeing 2 instances of this. 1 with a photo from this particular shoot and one from one I did over a month ago. Everything I scroll back and forth (rapidly or not) as the previews load it loads the wrong files first, multiple times (around 8 or 9 in a row) and then they slowly change to what it should be.
I am not sure if I am properly describing this error but it is really weird.
Also, this seems to only happen on the images off a CF card. I was borrowing a friends D200 as a 2nd body for a party. When I scroll through the images off my SD card I do not see the issue appear. When I get to the CF portion of the folder is when I see the problem....
I just updated LR today but these issues occured prior to the update and still exist afterwards.
Do I need to do a fresh install of LR?
What precautions do I need to take in doing so to insure my catalogue stays intact?
Thanks for your help.

I am still having issues.
The crash dumps are far less frequent now. I think it may have been a catalogue issue maybe? I started a new one and things were better.
However, I am consistantly getting the "Lightroom has stopped working" and it closes down..... repeatedly. Very Very annoying.
It is not a major issue to just restart Lightroom, esp since it is on an SSD, it pops right back up instantly.
All of my files are on the HDD, however, not the SSD.
I had reinstalled LR3 once before which did not help. Any other suggestinos?
I can't imagine a reinstall of Windows would do anything for me. I have no issues with anything other than LR.
Could my video card be playing a role in the errors? I do notice weird random artifacts in my images sometimes when I add a brush stroke, or clone something out. Or sometimes just simply zooming in will great these weird multicolored lines in the image. Zooming out makes it go away. It is random when it shows up and often times closing and reopening LR will make it go away. So these are not permanent artifacts in the image unless I export the file with them showing. This leads me to think maybe the video card is having some issues. All drivers are up to date. It is not a high end card. Based on all my research when buidling this machine, a basic video card is all that is needed as RL is CPU and memory intensive, which is where I put most of my $. (i7 2600k and 16GB DDR3)

WS2012 Standard R2 with Essentials sudden problem with Server Manager, Essential Dashboard and other services

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essential installed. When I try to run Server Manager the server manager window doesn't appear and the same thing applies for starting the essentials dashboard. This leads to that some of the features doesn't
work properly like remote web access, client backup and so on. When I check the Services a lot of services haven't even started. Trying to manually start for example Windows Server Essentials Management Services gives me following error message:
"Windows could not start the Windows Server Essentials Management Services on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"
What can be wrong here? I haven't done anything to the server that could start these problems. This started all of a sudden.
Thank you all in advance for any help.
EDIT:
I rebooted my server in safe mode and I tried to run SFC /Scannow which stops at 84% and gives me following message:
"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
I also tried to run "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth". This did not help either. It completes the operation but nothing changes. The problem is still there.
I thought that my server backups were OK and that this problem would be gone by restoring the C: drive with backup image. The problem is that all my good backups was rewritten with new backups that could not take backup of the C: drive for some reason. Now
I need to solve this problem without reinstalling the whole operating system.
EDIT:
I have also completed the chkdsk C: /r command and now the SFC /Scannow command can be completed, with notification that some files could not be fixed. I have attached the sfcdetail.txt file which points out that
"tsgclean.exe" cannot be repaired. What has that file to do with my WS2012 problems...

Hi,
Did you remember any operation which you had done before this issue occurred? For examples, install any update,
install any third-party application or any other? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
For those problematic services, please open services’ Properties and navigate to
Dependencies tab, then check if all system components which this service depends on run as normal.
In addition, please open Event Viewer and check if find relevant events. Meanwhile, please follow the path:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs and check Dashboard log file if find more clues.
By the way, when you run
sfc /scannow command completely, did you open Server Manager or Dashboard again? Any difference?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Hello Justin,
Regarding the third-party applications:
I have not installed any third-party application that could cause this problem. All my third-party applications that are installed on the WS2012 R2 are confirmed working well with the operative system and are installed at the time when I hadn't these problems.
I cannot say anything about windows update because that is something that I update once in a week after checking that no user is reporting any issues. I have learned my leason with windows update when I had Surface Pro 2, that was a dissaster.
Regarding the Windows Updates:
Anyway, I tried to remove all the windows updates before as well (not the security updates) down to 5th December which is the time when I know that my server worked well. Only two updates could not be removed (KB3012199 and KB2989647). I don't
know if these two updates can cause any problem?
Regarding the problematic services:
For example: Checking the properties for "Windows Server Essentials Management Service" -> It is dependable on
"1. Active Directory Domain Services" and "2. Windows Server Essentials Provider Registry Service".
No 1 is running but not no 2. If I try to start no 2 service it will give me the same message as before:
"Windows could not start the Windows Server Essentials Management Services on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"
Regarding the Logs:
I have uploaded Dashboard log files which are created after 5th December to my dropbox account: Link
Regarding the SFC command:
Of course, when the SFC command was completed but with error that it could not repair
tsgclean.exe I tried to start the essentials dashboard and WS2012 server manager with no luck.
What about the error message? I looked up that file in the explorer and it is located in folder "C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-tsproxy-edgeadapter_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_2ec8d374a0ac5606"
Why can't it be repaired and what kind of file is that?
Best regards
