Setting OD Home Directory as default for Windows clients

Hi all,
I am trying to configure a lab of PCs (XP SP3) to authenticate and use Network homes from a Leopard Server. So far I have bound the PCs to the PDC and have them authenticating to OD. The only problem I have is that the Desktop, My Documents, etc. are all being saved locally rather than to the Network Home. I obviously need to do some redirection of the folders but don't know how.
Can anybody help???

Hi, we have been doing a similar setup and this thread (which goes onto another ) helped greatly!

We still get odd errors with some files on the windows side so be warned!
cheers

  • Cisco Jabber for Windows Client SDK

    Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

    And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
    Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
    If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
    If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
    If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
    A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
    All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
    Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
    This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
    Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

  • NSS 324 - set different home directory for FTP

    Hi
    DOes anyone know - is it possible that when user logs in via FTP, their home directory is not root that can see all fileshares, but a different created share?
    I.e if i create a share called /tftpboot, when user logs in via FTP, they get  sent to that share and thing that this share is root, so they cant see any other shares.
    THanks
    Arkadiy

    Hi,
    Depending on what firmware the NSS is running. You need to make sure you have different groups for different users.Assign the user to groups you want to allow access to certain shares. Then you want to assign the group you created to the share and give it proper access. Make sure the users are assigned to that group. You want to uncheck Group (everyone). Also under the user (private network share) make sure the user has access to that share.
    If you would like help setting group and user access please call 1-866-606-1866 and open a case.

    hi,
    why the hell there are adds every where now? it was not the case earlier? and why the hell every time i change the home page to be the default one, the min i restart Firefox it came again to the same silly page i don't know from where the hell it came from?!?!
    it was a very pleasant experience to use Firefox, but not anymore, i like it even its heavy on the machine and stuck alot lately!!!
    the crash reports NEVER managed to be sent i don't know why!!
    come on guys, you can do better than that!

    Hi ajag,
    Sorry you are having problems, but probably some adware or malware.
    Thanks for including System Information. I am not familiar with "''Vonteera Free Ads''" However it is apparently adware. Take care with advice followed from internet searches I would for instance NOT try the YAC site or tool.
    Using the Firefox addons manager and the Windows Control Panel remove any obvious unwanted toolbars or programs. Then scan with multiple and fully up to date tools.
    *''' General method: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] '''
    Please follow the advice in the link immediately above and then do the full scans as mentioned lower down in this post.
    I note you have a ''user.js'' file that may need attention separately.
    Post back saying what you tried and what the results were.

  • Setting a particular value as default for the Grouping Range at BP Creation

    Hi,
    I am trying to set certain default for the Grouping Range when I create a new Bp using Tcode BP. For this i have changed the PBC fucntion for the view BUP020 ( TCode : BUS3). The Z function module attached is Z_FBSBP_SET_DEFAULT_GROUPING
    FUNCTION z_fbsbp_set_default_grouping.
    ""Local interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     REFERENCE(IV_ACTION) LIKE  BUS000FLDS-CHAR1
    *"     REFERENCE(IV_SICHT) TYPE  BU_SICHT
      DATA: lv_bu_group TYPE bu_group VALUE 'GR01'.
    Set the Grouping Range with a default value for all roles, each time
    when transaction BP is called
      SET PARAMETER ID 'BPP' FIELD lv_bu_group.
    Call the standard PBC fucntion module for BP Creation
      CALL FUNCTION 'BUP_BUPA_PBC_MISC'
        EXPORTING
          i_action = iv_action
          i_sicht  = iv_sicht.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    As per my notion this fucntion module should get triggered once I open the transaction BP and try to create a new BP, but such a thing is not happening.
    Can someone help me in this?
    Regards
    Priyanka

    Yes we did,
    But its not a very good solution though it serves the purpose.
    See what I did was:
    1. Read the authorization object's values for the logged on user using SUSR_USER_AUTH_FOR_OBJ_GET. From here I retrieve the Grouping Range required for the user.
    2. Keep this value in a variable say gv_grouping_range.
    3. SET PARAMETER ID 'BPP' FIELD gv_grouping_range.
    4. CALL TRANSACTION 'BP'.
    The four steps above have been enclosed in a report which has been attached to a new transaction code. We from now on allow user an access to this new transaction and not the standard BP transaction(which of course calls for a major change in roles).
    Secondly, the first three steps which have been enclosed in a subroutine set_default_grouping are also called from the BDT view BUP050, where the PBO has been changed to ZBUP_BUPA_PBO_MISC
    FUNCTION zbup_bupa_pbo_misc .
    ""Local interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(I_SICHT) TYPE  BU_SICHT
    PERFORM get_set_def_grouping IN PROGRAM zrpbsbp_create_businesspartner.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BUP_BUPA_PBO_MISC'
        EXPORTING
          i_sicht = i_sicht.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't load PS CS3 Mac action set on PC running PS CS3 for Windows

    Are action script sets compatible across platforms?  Shouldn't I be able to load a CS3 action set created on a Mac on a Windows machine running CS3?  When I try, I get this message:
    "Could not load the actions because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop"
    What's the deal?

    I've never seen this error and I've been working on both platforms for years.
    The only time I would expect to see this kind of error message is if you recorded an action in one version of PS and tried to load it in an earlier version.
    The only serious compatibility problem I've run into is with paths (Mac vs XP) or when trying to read actions from PS6.

  • Change the home directory from terminal for another copy of the OS.

    Mac Mini OS X 10.8.1
    Main drive for OS Vertex 4 SSD
    Data on other Drive Seagate Goflex Thunderblot 3TB on a 1 TB Partition.
    Backup of both Main drive and Data drive on a 3rd drive.
    When i boot into the back it uses the data from the thunder bolt drive and not the data drive backup.
    If the orginial data drive ever became damaged and i need to point to the other data backup drive can this be done from terminal on another boot drive.
    let says Drive A is the OS X 10.8
    Drive B is the main data drive.
    Drive C has 2 partition C1 for OS X and C2 for Data backup.
    When booting from Drive C it gets its data from Drive B because its a clone of A.
    If drive B becomes dmaged I will not be able to boot from drive C. ( This has happend )
    With a Clean install on drive D I can boot. How can i use terminal to Tell Drive C1 to use data from C2 instead of Drive B?
    Hope I explained this well.

    Can you explain exactly what "the issue" is?
    You can use dscl from the command line to change a home directory (as described in this hint), but that still requires you to be using that startup volume. Hence, it is no different than using System Preferences. If System Preferences won't work for you, then dscl probably wouldn't either.

  • 10.4.9 as Domain Controller fails daily for Windows clients

    I have a 10.4.9 Open Directory Master server which also serves as a PDC for Windows XP clients. Windows clients can log in and get roaming profiles with shared homes for Mac and Windows environments. This all works fine.
    But, for the last week, every morning, the Windows clients cannot find the domain. I can replace the /etc/smb.conf file with a saved good file, restart the Windows service and all works fine until the next morning, where it fails again. Simply restarting the Windows service does not help; it needs to be reconfigured with a new smb.conf file.
    Mac clients can authenticate and connect via smb. The Windows XP Pro clients are up to date with latest updates, so there could be a problem from that, but the updates don't match the date the problems started. The start of the problem coincided with removing an Open Directory Replica, which was no longer needed. It is probably unrelated, but it is the only change I can think of.
    There must be some overnight process which resets some setting. Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks for any help!
    Mostly Xserve servers   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   400 + node Open Directory domain Win & Mac All Mac servers
    Macs & PCs (too many!)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
    Macs & PCs (too many!)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Tom,
    We destroyed our domain and rejoined all our XP boxes. This did not fix the problem. There appears to be a bug in Apple samba-100.7 (10.4.9).
    As a quick fix we extracted the smbd binary and smbd.plist from a 10.4.8 combo update (Note: you could also grab the files from a working 10.4.8 install)...
    1. Download the 10.4.8 combo update from http://www.apple.com/support
    2. Mount the 10.4.8 update .dmg
    3. In Terminal navigate to the folder containing Archive.pax.gz, in our case this was...
    cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Server\ 10.4.8\ Combined\ Update/MacOSXSrvrCombo10.4.8PPC.mpkg/Contents/Installers/MacOSXSvrCmbBase10.4.8 PPC.pkg/Contents
    4. Copy Archive.pax.gz to a location on your HDD, like Desktop
    cp Archive.pax.gz ~/Desktop
    5. Unzip Archive.pax.gz
    cd ~/Desktop
    gunzip Archive.pax.gz
    6. Grab a copy of Pacifist and use it to open Archive.pax
    7. Using Pacifist, extract (drag and drop) the following files from the archive to your Desktop...
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
    /usr/sbin/smbd
    Note: We are going to replace smb in the next step, best backup the current copies of the above files before proceeding.
    8. Open Terminal again...
    Stop SMB...
    sudo serveradmin stop smb
    Replace samba with 10.4.8 version...
    sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd /usr/sbin/smbd
    sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
    9. Restart SMB and the process is complete...
    sudo serveradmin start smb
    Cheers,
    Tim
