Remote login, "access account" disabled

Hi,
we have a network (all macs) where all the users have their home directory on the server and each user can login from any mac on the network and find his files.
Everything works fine (now, has not been that easy...).
From a couple of days when a user tries to login from a network machine receives a message saying thet his/her account has expired, contact the network admin...
I open workgroup manager and all the users have the box "access account" not checked.
So, I check the box back to activate it and everything goes ok.
The next morning, again with the same situation.
What can be disactivating the access account checkbox?
Any idea? May be that playing around I configured something that can have this result?
Thank you for your help.

I don't know if this may help:
From ServerAdmin, checking the System Log I see this:
"Jul 20 10:19:04 Xserve com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.usbmuxd[77095]): getpwnam("_usbmuxd") failed
Jul 20 10:19:04 Xserve com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.usbmuxd[77095]): Exited with exit code: 1
Jul 20 10:19:04 Xserve com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.usbmuxd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds"
This is written every 10 seconds...
I am not enough exeperienced, and I don't simply understand what is gong on...

  • Server 10.4.4, administrator account has "access account" disabled

    Hi,
    I allowed a new tech to add users to our Xserve. Somehow he disabled the check box "access acount" in workgroup manager for the only administrator account. It now appears we cannot turn this back on! The end result is you can only access workgroup manager locally.Remote desktop and VNC now won't work. We can't re-enable the "access account" option for the administrator account or create new administrators as our only administrator account is now not active. I have no idea why you should be able to do this, but duplicated the problem on a test machine. If you create an admin account and uncheck the box "access acount" then the server can no longer be adminstrated!
    Any ideas?

  • Can't send or receive emails using Windows Live Mail. Webmail login says "account disabled."

    Since yesterday we have not been able to access our Verizon email through Windows Live Mail or loging on to the webmail service.  Nothing happens and we get a "accounts disabled" message.  I checked all of the POP settings and it won't connect.  When we try to log in to the verizon webmail service, it says our accounts have been disabled.  Please tell us what is going on. I've chatted with a representative and am speaking to one on the phone and they can't tell me why it's disabled or how they can enable it again. 

    Ok, now they're telling us that one of our email accounts is associated with someone in Texas.  But we're from California and have always lived here.

  • Script to enable remote login

    In my job I am constantly required to SSH into other computers to fix problems via terminal. Is there any known script that I can use to enable remote login on my computer quickly rather than having to go to system preferences every time?
    Thanks for your help!

    I'm not sure I understand this request.

    OK, fair enough...

    Enabling SSH/remote login on your computer isn't going to help at all. You need to enable remote login on the remote computer.
    It may be possible to have an AppleScript execute commands on a remote machine, if that's what you mean, but in order for this to happen the remote machine has to have Remote Apple Events enabled. In my experience, there are even fewer machines with Remote Apple Events enabled than there are with Remote Login - it's disabled by default and is unlikely to be enabled by most users.
    So if Remote Login isn't enabled, your only solution is Remote Apple Events, but if that's off you're pretty much out of luck (unless you have some kind of screen sharing setup running).

  • Administrative user can't access other accounts or delete remote login

    I have the administrative user account on my iMac at home. My daughter can't remember the new password I assigned her and needs me to change it. When I log into system preferences/accounts, it shows that I am the administrative user. However, when I try to access her account or the Guest account on the computer they are gray and I can't select them. I can't add any new accounts or delete any existing ones either.
    I also noticed that remote login SSH is turned on. I tried to uncheck that box multiple times but my iMac just freezes. I have to force quit system preferences.
    Any ideas on how I fix this?

    I enabled the root user. While now I can access the elements that were greyed out before, when I attempt to change something my Mac will freeze and just show the color wheel when I attempt to do something with the mouse. If I go up to the menu and pick Force Quit, the list shows System Preferences (the ap has stopped responding). I've shut system preferences with a force quit, rebooted several times and tried again but the same thing happens every time.
    I also can't get it to read a disc so I can't even reboot from my Mac OS system disc to do an archive and reinstall. Does it sound like my system, hardware or both? Is it something that I bundle off my iMac to a Mac Genius to fix?
    If this was a PC, I would swear that I had a virus.

  • Is there a way to access remote login and screen sharing logs?

    I have a very high suspicion that my macbook air has been accessed through remote login. Here's what happened. I closed my macbook air, letting it sleep, and left my house. After coming back I found it logged into the Guest account (which I didn't know was enabled). Remote login, Remote sharing and file sharing were enabled but I disabled them. I can't remember enabling them but maybe I did.
    I am also on a local network with about 8 other devices connected. I looked through /private/var/log/system.log but couldn't find anything concrete. I have yet to log out of the guest account and have connected to another internet connection just to be on the safe side. 
    My other user account is passworded and I could switch back to it from guest.
    So if my macbook was accessed through remote login, is there a way to tell from what IP address it came from?
    Please help me get to the bottom of this.

    I guess if it did happen it would have said so. Thanks anyway.

  • How to you prevent disabling remote login via managed preferences?

    this doesn't seem to be an obvious setting.
    i want to disable our users from disabling remote login on their machines. some of them know how to do this.
    everyone has moblie home accounts, btw.
    hope someone can help!
    thanks in advance.

    thanks for your response, Tony.
    your 2nd suggestion is more towards what i am looking to do.
    we have WGM with User, Computer, Groups, and Computer Groups. right now, we aren't managing any preferences and we do make the users local admins on their machines after their first login/Home Sync.
    i was hoping to add a manifest to WGM in Preferences/Details, but i am not sure if this is possible and if it is, i don't know how to do it.
    we have users in remote sites that connect to our network via vpn and sometimes i need to remotely access their machines. but i can't on those that turn it off, obviously.
    thanks again!

  • The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login

    Using Terminal Server 2008 not able to get non administrator users to login to the remote desktop. Have tried from Windows server 2008 and from Windows servers 2003. Get error login in "The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login" from Windows Server 2008. Error "The requested session access is denied" from Windows Server 2000.

    Is that seriously the only way to do this? Doesn't this render the "Allow log on through Terminal Services" GP Setting useless?
    I would like to know this answer, as well.  I have created a new AD group for my assistant admins called "Domain Admins (limited)".  I have added this group to the GP setting "Allow log on through Terminal Services", but the
    assistant admins cannot log in through RDP.  It 'feels like' this is all I would need to do.
    Craig
    Found some good info
    here. There are really two things required for a user to connect to a server via RDP. You can configure one of them via Group Policy but not the other.
    1) Allow log on through Terminal Services can be configured through Group Policy, no problem.
    2) Permissions on the RDP-listener must also be granted.  If your user is a member of the local Administrators group or the local Remote Desktop Users group then this is handled.  If you are trying to utilize a new, custom group (as I am),
    then there isn't a way to do this via group policy (that I have found).
    EDIT: Found the answer.  I am creating a blog post to outline the steps.  They aren't hard, but they're not self-explanatory.  It deals with the Restricted Groups mentioned above, but it's still automate-able using Group Policy so that you
    don't have to touch each computer.  I think the above poster (Andrey Ganev) got it right, but
    I had trouble deciphering his instructions.
    Here is my blog post that walks through this entire process, step-by-step.

  • WRT610N Remote Management Access disabled and yet I could access??!

      Hi,
     I have the WRT610N, latest firmware (.10, early 2009). I noticed something when I accessed my FTP from work.
    I used the IP address and the "folder" to see my files in a web browser (like 82.2.2.2/MyftpFolder).
    But when I typed the IP only, I could see the router config page, despite the fact that I disabled it in "remote managment access"...
    Anyone else have seen the same problem?
    My ftp user is "admin" or I gave it all rights and access, by the way!

    Hi,
    I just had the same happen to me.
    I have a WRT54GL and I connect to my Exchange server daily through Outlook Web Access. Today when I came to work I could'nt connect. I tried my domain to see if the default website was down also and to my horror ended up in the router management gui. This have never happened before, I have the router redirecting all port 80 traffic to my web server. And since I had disabled the remote access to the router I never changed the password so the door was wide open. I will contact Linksys about this because as far as I understand it's either a serious bug or I've been hacked.

    Hm Thanks!
    The "problem" was that I was at work when I noticed that and my router is at home...so when I typed my wan ip (82.2.2.2) I saw the GUI.
    Nope I did not try to another computer either inside my LAN at home or from a WAN IP, as I have no more job, and no access elsewhere...
    So I can not reproduce what I saw until I get an outside connection! I was just wondering if anyone else encountered the same.

  • Windows users - "Access Account" gets disabled by server every night?!?

    I have an OS X Server 10.4.7 on a new Mac Pro in our office. All of my windows users connect to a basic Windows fileshare using the server's IP, then I map the network drives, so they should auto connect. I connect the users, verify the connection, log out, log back in, the drives re-connect like normal. However, TWICE now, I verify that thye all work, then the next morning (or over the weekend), it's like the OS X Server disabled everyone's accounts, except mine (i'm an adminstrator account). Nobody can get to their shares, and all the "Access Account" checkboxes on all my users are unchecked.
    I have Open Directory set as an OD Master, with default policies.
    Under Windows I have it set as a PDC (I'll migrate my old domain accounts once I have the server working, unless this is my whole problem)
    I disabled the file share of "users", but I can't see why that would be my problem. It works until overnight, seemingly.
    Ideas?

    System.log has thousands of these:
    Sep 18 07:47:32 Genesis1 kernel [0]: (11997: ps) ftp: failed on 0:
    asl.log has a bunch of these:
    [Time 2006.09.18 17.29.48 UTC] [Facility daemon] [Sender DirectoryService] [PID 63] [Message Failed Authentication return is being delayed due to over five recent auth failures for username: anish.] [Level 1] [ UID -2] [GID -2] [Host Genesis1]
    The only thing I've set up on any machine is network drive connections, and I manually entered names and passwords. Not sure if XP is doing anything else on its own.

  • Remote Web Access; Disable enom/godaddy check?

    Hello, I am trying to setup an existing domain and SSL certificate for use with WinSBS 2011 essentials Remote Web Access.  
    None of the info in any online guide has been any help (and most irritatingly, and recursively, link to one another); I have used:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/08/04/how-to-install-your-existing-certificate-into-sbs-essentials.aspx
    http://titlerequired.com/2012/03/05/sbs-2011-essentials-manually-installing-ssl-certificate/
    etc.
    The problem lies in the fact that the "Wizard" believes my current domain name (mydomain.com) to be registered with enom, when I KNOW FOR A FACT IT IS *NOT*. I have an existing domain and an existing wildcard SSL certificate issued for it. 
    Setting registry value 'UseV2CertificateSupport' = 0 (and restarting the services, as outlined in above links) does not change the behavior.
    If I type in any random domain name that either does not exist, or that is (also) not registered with godaddy or enom, I can get to a point in the Wizard setup where I can import the existing certificate, and finish the Wizard. I need to figure out how to
    disable this online webservice check for godaddy/enom, or atleast, force the wizard to allow me past this check; as if the check returned "IsGodaddyOrEnom"= false
    Posting here is my last resort. Please, Microsoft, please help me fix your terribly implemented RWA setup "wizard".

    this may be helpful...

  • Error message when login to Remote Web Access

    Hi everyone,
    I have a server that is running Windows Server 2012 Essential. All was working fine until one day I tried to login to Remote Web Access. As soon as I type in my user name and password and press enter I am greeted with the following error message:
    "Critical Error - Remote Web Access" (this is displayed in the browser's web page bar)
    "Cannot connect to Remote Web Access. Please contact the person who manages the server."
    I don't know how to fix this problem. I only get this error page when entering the correct login.
    I will be very grateful if anyone knows hot to get around this.
    Thanks!

    Hi John:
    Before we get too worried, try "other user" then domain-name\user-name and pw.
    Try that and let us know.
    Also, and becuse you should do it anyway, run the BPA and fix everthing it finds, look through the event viewer for error messages, and run the BPA from right side under the devices tab.

  • I want to borrow my wife's iPad for a trip but have access to my iBooks account. If I change her login access will that mess up her books for the future?

    I want to borrow my wife's iPad for a trip but have access to my iBooks account. If I change her login access will that mess up her books for the future?

    I assume that iBooks is limited in the same way that iTunes and the App store are.  That is, you can only change the AppleID associated with a device once every 90 days.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    So if you log out of the iBook store with her AppleID, and use yours, you will have to wait 90 days before she can use her AppleID with that same device again.

  • My 5-minute-old AppleId account was disabled immediately for security reasons. I have followed instructions carefully and although I seem to be able to change my password, I cannot login using the new password bcs account disabled for security reasons!

    It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
    I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!

    Solved.
    After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
    Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
