Roaming Profile Not Syncing with Windows XP Clients

I'm running an XServe with 10.4.8 as a PDC, with some XP systems authenticating to it. I don't have problems logging in or viewing the user's profile, but any files saved to the desktop are no longer accessible at the next login. If I create a file and store it in the user's profile desktop directory on the file server, the file does appear on the desktop the next time the user logs in. The profiles are stored on a Linux server running SMB, as are the home directories, which work fine. I'm not sure where to be looking to solve this.

Beginning with Windows XP SP2, Microsoft has disabled Basic authentication by default in an effort to increase security. Unfortunately their Digest authentication is broken so you can't connect using that authentication scheme either.
The following link shows you how to edit the registry to add a key in Windows XP to enable Basic authentication which will allow you to connect a Windows XP client to a Mac OS X Server using WebDAV.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2netwk.mspx#EIN AE
From that page:
You can enable BasicAuth by adding the following registry key and setting it to a non-zero value:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet\Services \WebClient\Parameters\UseBasicAuth (DWORD)
To restore the default behaviour:
If you delete the registry key or set it to 0, the behavior reverts to the default, or disabling the use of BasicAuth.

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync

    Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync any suggestions?

    Try a low-tech solution.  Check the condition of the HotSync port connection on both the T3 and the cradle.
    Look for any possible corrosion, coating, or bent fingers in the cradle.  Sometimes a good cleaning with either Contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol can work miracles!   (Use a q-tip swabbed in it, do not pour it onto the PDA).

  • Centro & Treo 650 will not sync with Windows 7

    The 6.2 software will not work with windows 7. I have a new computer and can not get the phones to hot sync with my new computer. The Bluetooth does not recognize either of the phones. None of the other Bluetooth devices nor my car recognizes the phones. I do not have a data package with the phones so doing anything over the internet is out of the question. How do I get all the information that is on my two phones onto my computer?

    Try a low-tech solution.  Check the condition of the HotSync port connection on both the T3 and the cradle.
    Look for any possible corrosion, coating, or bent fingers in the cradle.  Sometimes a good cleaning with either Contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol can work miracles!   (Use a q-tip swabbed in it, do not pour it onto the PDA).

  • My ipod classic will not sync with windows 8

    I have an ipod classic that will not sync with my new laptop which has windows 8 installed. When i plug it into my laptop it doesn't show up in itunes or my computer. I tried it with the ipod in disk mode, and it still won't show up in itunes, but does in my computer-however when i click on it my computer freezes so i have to unplug it.
    I've been through several forums already, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, updating my drivers, renaming the driver that the ipod plugs into, all with no success. I used to have a similar problem on my old laptop, but this could be cured by right-clicking on the ipod in my computer and clicking 'format' - my ipod would then be wiped, but itunes would then recognize it and i could sync everything back onto the device-it was time consuming but it worked.  However i am unable to do thisnow as the ipod either doesn't show in my computer, or freezes my laptop when i do finally get it to show in disc mode.
    Can anyone offer any advice at all???

  • Iphone 3GS will not sync with Windows

    I could not get it to sync and the dealer then told me it does not work with Windows 7 so I am returningd it and the other stuff I bought from the apple store and cancelled my order for another one and 2 new macs. The dealer was not too worried. Apple must have so many customers that they do not have to worry about new ones, nice business. Misrepresentation of a products capabilities is one day going to cost them though in my experience. I have bought a 3 ipods which did actually work. iPhone is a product that does not work with Windows 7 and a 1 year old laptop and in the year 2009 that is almost unbelievable and should be told to consumers before they buy and struggle and then realise they have been sold a dud.

    I think you are mixing things up. This is a patch supplied by Intel to motherboards and BIOS (BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM) manufacturers who based their newest motherboards on Intel P55 chipset. To get this fix you update your BIOS. The BIOS is independent of any operating system (it comes with the motherboards already flashed). Has nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft.
    here is a link
    A few days ago we had reported a problem with iTunes sync between the iPhone and PCs equipped with Windows 7 of the Intel P55 chipset. Intel released a patch that solves this problem within seconds. You can download the patch here and then start the installation. Restart your computer and you will see all your sync problems are solved.
    NOTE: If your computer doesen’t feature the specs above, do not install the patch. Otherwise, happy syncing….

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

  • I pods will not synce with windows 8.1?

    i pod nano will not synce using windows 8

    i dont get any message,  its just gets stuck while downloading, and will not finish.
    Many thanks.
    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
    If you still can't get a working installer from the standard download page, try the following direct download links for 11.1.5.5:
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-02-25)
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-02-25)

  • Roaming Profiles not working when Lenovo Hotkey Client Loader is running on Win 8.1 laptops

    This issue seems to be Windows 8.1 related.  Specifically it is affecting all our X1 Carbon, and T440S laptops running Windows 8.1, but NOT 430S running Windows 7. Basically roaming profiles were creating the proper folder on the file server but the folders were empty.  Through trial and error, I narrowed it down to the "Lenovo Hotkey Client Loader" as listed in msconfig or Program Files\Lenovo\HotKey\TPHKLoad.exe.  Once that service was disabled, the roaming profiles would copy over properly.  I am running the latest and greatest version of "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8.1" Ver 5.25.0000.  Wondering if anyone else is seeing this?  Wondering how significant TPHKLoad.exe is? And wondering if we'll see an update to the Features pack to correct this?  Hopefully this post can help some others who are looking at empty roaming profile folders.

    Hi all,
    A
    After few months, problem occurred again and i could not install the windows from the scratch over and over again.
    I started searching problem online and eventually i found the FIX.
    Looks like Registry Entries are getting screwed up somehow.
    My "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProvider" was looking exactly as below:
    ", schannel.dll"
    And i made it as below:
    "msapsspc.dll,
    schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll, credssp.dll"
    The solution for the other person in the link ( cannot share link since site does not allow me to ) as a source was only missing "credssp.dll" whereas i was missing everything except "schannel.dll". Strange...
    ============================
    Adding credssp.dll to the list of SecurityProviders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders
    fixed it for me. 
    My full registry entry now reads "msapsspc.dll,
    schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll, credssp.dll"
    ============================

  • HT3798 Ipod Classic will not sync with windows 8 and newest itunes

    I have ipod classic, 160gb, with new computer with Windows 8 and latest version of Itunes - came from xp and previous version of itunes - and never had a syncing problem. 
    All my songs are in new itunes on new computer, however ipod will not sync.  Have received -50, and duplicate file name - I restored and it will go so far and then freeze.  Or  I get -53.  Have tried lots of suggestions discovered on pages like these... but none have worked.  I do see there is a problem with classic and new itunes - does anyone have any solutions??
    Thanks.....

    Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
    If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
    This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
    Hope this will solve a lot of problems.

  • Windows 8.1 DPI scaling does not work with Windows 7 client ?

    I have a Surface Pro with Windows 8.1 and a PC with Win7 SP1 both fully updated including optional updates (RDP8.1 client for Win7, verified in about box).
    Still, when I connect to my Surface from my PC everything is enlarged.
    My PC has two monitors: primary 1920x1080 and secondary 1680x1050. I've tried opening connection on each one of them as well as on both (multi monitor). I've also attempted to use windowed mode with lower resolutions.
    Surface is set to default DPI settings (slider moved to Larger and "Let me choose one scaling" is unchecked). Also, when I'm connected via RDP I cannot move the slider ("Some display settings can't be changed from a remote session") though
    I can click "Let me choose..." but that requires a sign-out. Another oddity is that my remote desktop client does not have a "Smart sizing" window menu item.

    Hi,
    When you are within a session you should be able to check the option Let me choose one scaling level for all displays, change the scaling, sign out, then when you reconnect it will have the new dpi setting applied.  This is the expected method for a
    Windows 7 client.
