Sharing only users cannot connect to Lion Server

Dear all,
I stumbled across a funny problem, that I tried to resolve all day. I just wanted to add a sharing only user for my girlfriends new MacBook that she could use to connect to a shared Time Machine Volume.
If I add a new standard user, this user can connect to my server via finder (connect as...) and see the shared drives. If the same user tries to connect to the Time Machine Backup Volume via the settings dialog, it receives an error message (OSStatus-error 5).
If I add a sharing only user, this user cannot connect via finder or Time Machine (same error). The clients console states the following error message:
/System/Library/CoreServices/NetAuthAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/NetAuthAgent[2471] AFP error -5018 mapped to EIO
Does anybody have an Idea?

That is my point. Yes, Apple still lets you add users via users and groups in system preferences but that is not how you should be adding users. I've seen nothing but trouble when that option is used to add users and I believe that the Lion server docs say to not use that. If you are using lion server why not use it the way it was meant to be. Just create a account in OD and only give her access to the Time Machine Service and none of the others.

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

User cannot connect to exchange server

I have rounded up all of the usual suspects and am at a loss here. A user has been running in offline mode for a while. The ability to uncheck offline mode is greyed out. Pinged my Exchange server by name to see if resolves from this PC. It does. Renamed
.ost so a new one would be generated. No help. I removed the Outlook profile in Control Panel>mail and tried to create a new one. I get the cannot connect to Exchange error. I tried to log in as him on my PC and have the same results. I do not see any issues
with his account on my Exchange server. Any ideas to check on next? Never had one do this before.
Brian Gilmore Lead IT Technician Don-Nan Pump & Supply

This type of error generally occurs when user had disabled Encryption of data between Microsoft
Office Outlook and Microsoft Exchange profile , and default configuration of Exchange requires RPC encryption from Outlook client , which is not available, so this error is displayed.
To solve this issue you may try any of these solutions below:
1. Disable the encryption requirement on all CAS servers.
2. Try to manually update your Outlook profile with RPC encryption.
3.
Expand Group Policy settings to update existing Outlook profiles with RPC encryption
Hope this will work for you !!!

External users cannot connect to Lync Server 2013

I everybody,
The users inbound organizacion use lync 2013 good, i deploy a edge server for external connection but, when i try to connect, receive the next message: "can not log into lync because the server is temporarily unavailable".
already test the certificate, ports and the cms replica. this components are good.
i don´t know, what can i do.
regards

Hi JSanabria,
Did you use single IP and FQDN for the SIP access, Web Conferencing service and A/V service?
Did you use private IP with NAT or public IP directly on Edge external interface?
Please tell us more detail about the configuration of Edge server.
You can use Lync 2013 remote connectivity analyzer to check which step goes wrong.

Users cannot connect over SMB 10.10.1 server.app 4.0 and 4.0.3

Hello,
I have an issue where users cannot connect to a server for files sharing over SMB.
Info:
All users on 10.10.1
2 Servers on 10.10.1
Server.app 4.0.3 but issue was also present using 4.0
SMB connection works when connecting to the OD Master
SMB does not work when connecting to the OD Replica ServerBut AFP works fine when connecting to the OD Replica Server.
I have destroyed and re-added the OD replica but that did not seem to help

I suspect the problem is to do with Kerberos and in relation to this server being an OD Replica.
I would really appreciate anyone's insight into this.
Thanks

I have the same problem although I upgraded from Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server. The error appears to go hand in hand with this error.
userInit: CFPreferences: user home directory for user kCFPreferencesCurrentUser at /Network/Servers/fullyqualifieddomainname/Users/user is unavailable. User domains will be volatile.
I've read a number of things to try. A lot of people point to DNS being a problem, but I'm confident this is correct in my environment.

Cannot connect to a server

I have had this problem several time son different Macs running different versions of OS X. I have an eMac running 10.3.9 and the default user cannot connect to a server, a Windows 2003 server. The administrator user works fine, but not the default login user. In the past I would copy a home folder from a similar Mac and replace the home folder on the Mac that is gining me problems. I never have time to troubleshoot this down to the file that is preventing me from connecting. Has anyone else had this problem and found the folder or the file that is causing the problem?
Thanks

Launch Terminal.app on the Mac OS X Server box and issue the following command:
+sudo changeip -checkhostname
That command should report no changes are required and valid DNS, and will show you the DNS host name for your server. If that command reports DNS errors, you'll need to address those.
Within the client, within Workgroup Manager, the host name you connect to the Mac OS X Server box using (either via the menus and the Connect... item, or via ⌘K) should be the DNS host name of the server box.
If you're using a NAT gateway here and are depending on ISP DNS services, then you don't have local DNS services on your network, and you'll have problems with security and authentication. (And the checkhostname will toss an error indicating DNS problems.)

Hi,
According to your description, users cannot connect to Exchange server 2013 both internal and external.
Please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration in Outlook to check your autodiscover service. Also
reset your Exchange virtual directory to connect correctly. If the issue still continues after all configurations are setting properly, collect some Event logs would be helpful.
If there is any question, please post the results here for further analysis.

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server. It says check your user name and password are correct. Well they are, and were. Nothing has changed except the mac OS.
Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it? Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums. so far all have proved unsuccessful.
I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Mike

Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included. You likely have corrupted settings for your "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts. Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to. Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column. When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line. Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server". Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

I cannot connect to the server – screen sharing, Server Preferences,...

hello
I have a problem with xserver. Everything seems to be working ok, however, one day system started to break down.
I cannot connect to the server through *screen sharing* neither through internet, nor through local net. Even after restart login wont shows up.
I cannot also connet to the *Server Preferences* (Unable to authenticate to the Open Directory master.)
Sometimes I cannot also connect to the *Server Admin* (but after restart it works, however, Server Preferences are unavailable).
SSH works ok.
Nor repair permission, neither verify disk, or update for OS X server 10.6.4 worked.

Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
Below is a summary of the issue:
After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
    "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
    "Unable to retrieve all data."
    The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
Other Observations   -
This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
I am sharing my finding.
1. First install the
KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network

Hi Guys,
I get the following error when i try to connect to BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network or security issue.
This only happen on clients machines, I have installed the client tools on the server and tested, i can connect to Excel but not on the machine. My MS office version is the same as the one on the server. BPC is ver 5.04
Has anyone experienced the same problem.
your help will be greatly appreciated.

Let me summarize your issue to see if I may help. If I cannot, then you will need to work with SAP Support on the connection problem.
- You have a single or multi-server setup?
- Installed using BPC 5.1 SP3, (or 5.0.502) correct?
- You can enter the BPC on the server, both via BPC Excel and BPC Admin?
- When you initiate BPC Admin on your client, so can connect to the Server and perform Admin operations?
- When you initiate BPC for Excel, and walk through the connection wizard, you cannot connect to the server?
- When you are in the Connection Wizard, are you using a path or a Server designation?
- Is the system on a single domain?
- When you added users to the Admin Security profile, they were selected from a DOMAIN?
- You have processed security and assigned ALL TASKS currently and processed the MEMBER ACCESS profiles, yes?
After all of this, have you uninstalled 1 BPC client, cleared the ProgramFiles/BPC folder, and deleted the local stored BPC information? If you haven't, just for simplification, I would attempt this process.
You also hae read all the SAP Support Notes regarding using Excel2007 with BPC and the issues you may experience?
Please let me know and maybe we can help.

Load balancing error 88: Cannot connect to message server (rc=9)

Hi,
We are facing a problem in the system object.
initially we created a system object with loadbalancing template ,and everything worked fine, but after couple of months we found a error "Load balancing error 88: Cannot connect to message server (rc=9)", so we have created a Dedicated application server object which resolved our issue.
My question is why has this problem occured, and since my client side has lot number of users and we wish to keep the system back to load balancing object.
How can i make my system object work back, what might be the causes?
Thanks
Srivastsa Kondapally

Load balancing only works if the message server is available and the logon group specified exists as well. If one of those changes, then it will break until you get the values set correctly.

MSN Messenger 7.5,Connection Troubleshooter
Reason and Prerequisites
The reason for this malfunction is, that the datatype of the registry value HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\DatabasePath
was changed from REG_EXPAND_SZ to REG_SZ.
The following programs are currently known to cause this registry change:
Starting MSN Messenger 7.5 "Connection Troubleshooter" (Build 7.5.0299).
Installation of MSN Messenger 7.0 or MSN Messenger 7.5 with the option automatic scanning and configuration of ports.
This modification prevents the expansion of environment variables in the value of the parameter. Therefore,
      %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc
is not translated to
   c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and the services database is not found by the API function getservbyname().
If you have checked the datatype of registry value DatabasePath and it is REG_EXPAND_SZ, apply SAP Note 52959 to check the appropriate settings in the services file.
Solution
Start the registry editor and rename the registry value HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\DatabasePath
Create an Expandable-String Value (REG_EXPAND_SZ) with the same name and value.
If more PCs are affected, you can export the correct value to a .reg file and import the .reg to other PCs.
If you have the same problem although you have not installed Microsoft MSN Messenger 7.5, create a customer message, collect the following information and attach it to the message according to note 541726 or upload it to sapservX (see note 40024):
Scan your workstations for spyware and viruses with up-to-date virus definitions. If you already did that what was the result ?
What software has been installed recently ? (client software, Firewall)
Create a registry export of the following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstallon the affected and the unaffected PC respectively and attach the two .reg files to the customer message.
Are the users on the affected workstations logged on with administrative credentials (local administrator ) ?
Create an MPS Report Networking and Setup Perf of an affected workstation so that we can check if they use an software in common.

Run this report too on identically configured workstations, which are not affected.
If you have already changed back the DatabasePath parameter and if after a while the value was switched back to REG_SZ perform the following steps to help us to identify the reason for this problem:
Switch the datatype back to REG_EXPAND_SZ
Download Regmon from http://www.sysinternals.com on the affected machines
Enable auditing on the affected clients
Modify the settings of the eventlog so that no important entry is deleted!
Open Regedit and highlight HKLM\System\CCS\Services\TCPIP\Parameters
Right-click on "Parameters" and choos "Permissions" and click "Advanced".
Choose "Auditing" and "Add".
Add "Everyone" and select "this key only" under "Apply onto".
Check the boxes "Set Value" and "Delete" and click "OK".
Apply these settings
Start Regmon and apply the correct filter settings:
Press the "magnifying glass" button to stop the monitoring.
Press the rubber button to delete all logged entries.
Go to "Options Filter/Highlight".
Copy the following value to the include field: tcpip\parameters\databasepath and click "Apply".
Start Regmon by pressing the magnifying glass button
Verify that logging starts when you double-click the TCPIP Key in regedit!
If the datatype will be changed again, provide us the output of the monitoring tools.
