TS3960 can't login to my newly purchased / installed OS X Server...

When trying to login to the server with server app it's telling 'shaking' as if to say password is wrong or similar...I've found a few support pages that say to:
To check if servermgrd is loaded, see the output of this command in Terminal:
sudo launchctl list | grep -q com.apple.servermgrd && echo loaded || echo not loaded
If the output is "not loaded", load the com.apple.servermgrd job into launchd with this command:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.servermgrd.plist
However the output of the first sudo command shows 'not loaded', but the second sudo command to load outputs
'launchctl: Couldn't stat("/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.servermgrd.plist"): No such file or directory nothing found to load'
NEED SOME HELP PLS, my machine now doesn't work on ethernet due to this problem...fortunately airport is working though for now...
WHY would a newly purchased and installed version of Lion Server do this!! Arrrggghhh....
Any help appreciated...how can I kill the server and reinstall or similar? Can't seem to stop it...

Since you erased the external drive that might have had Server's library, I would suggest doing a clean install of the operating system you had on the Mini, then reinstall Server. You can see here on how to create a bootable USB Yosemite drive and here for a clean install of Yosemite.

  • Can't login to my account after installing OS X Server

    Just some background info:
    I have had a mac mini for 2 years now and I backup to an external hard drive using Time Machine. My wife just got a new Macbook Air and I wanted to make sure her she was covered with Time Machine, but without having to unplug my external hard drive or buy a new one exclusively for her. I also don't want to pay the money for a Time Capsule as I already have a fantastic router. I read that I could accomplish what I want using Mac OS X Server and it's centralized Time Machine service.
    Well I paid $20, installed OS X Server, created her a user account and enabled the Time Machine Service. I left all other Server services disabled as far as I know... Then I (foolishly?) decided to wipe my external drive with my mac mini's time machine backups figuring it may be best to start with a freshly formatted drive when setting this up. So I formatted my external drive, and started to do my 1st initial backup for my mac mini. I only have about 60GB to backup and it was hanging 1/4 done for hours so I figured something was wrong. I stopped the backup and decided to reboot. After rebooting, I'm prompted to login to my wife's account. This is strange because 1) My mac mini usually auto logs into my account 2) I've never logged into her account on my mac mini. 3) I never intended to have an account for her on my mac mini. So now I have no idea how to login to my mac mini using my username. I tried typing in the password I created for her on OS X server but it says "Your account does not have a valid home directory. Contact your system administrator for more information". All I see is my wife's name and the option to login to her... Which I can't. The only other options I get are Sleep, Restart, and Shut Down. I'm freaking out right now, how can I change the user to my user? Or as the administrator? I can't get into my mac at all right now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't login on iMac to Local Network accounts on server

    I'm a volunteer at the Marjorie P Lee retirement community. We had two iMacs that were available for residents to use. We recently bought two more iMacs and a Mac Mini Server. The goal is to make it possible for residents to use any of the computers and have their files available.
    I have set up the server and did the updates so the machine is running 10.9.4 and the latest update of the server software. I have enabled Open Directory and created a couple of Local Network User accounts for testing. I also enabled file sharing and Time Machine backups.
    One of our older iMacs is running OS X 10.6.8. On this iMac, I went to the Users & Groups pane and under Login Options I connected to the Network Account Server. I got the green dot indicating that the connection was successful. I then enabled network logins. This worked; I am now able to login on this iMac to the local network accounts on the server.
    I did exactly the same thing on one of our brand new iMacs. Again I got the green dot indicating a successful connection to the server. Unfortunately I have been unable to login to the local network accounts from this machine. When I try to login, the password shakes as though I had entered the wrong password.
    What do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Most likely your Imac is using g or n to broadcast wirelessly while your router is using b.  Solution update your router.

  • Can't login to repository DB after installing EM using response file

    Anyone can help me?
    I installed EM 10g grid control 10.1.0.3 on solaris 9, it was a silent installation with response file, with new db. I specified the passwords for sysman, sys,system and dbsnmp in the response file, the installation went smoothly, but after that, when I tried to login to the repository database using the passwords which I set in the response file, it told me that my password was wrong! but the account status are all 'OPEN'. So I have to change the passwords mannually again. Is it OK to specify password in the response file?
    Anyone can help me?
    The following were the account status after EM 10g installation
    SQL> select username, account_status from dba_users;
    USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS
    SYS OPEN
    SYSTEM OPEN
    DBSNMP OPEN
    SYSMAN OPEN
    MGMT_VIEW OPEN
    PERFSTAT OPEN
    OUTLN EXPIRED & LOCKED

    Hi daryle
    the passwords are all "password" or "sysman", no funny chars.
    the following are the required items in the response file
    FROM_LOCATION="/opt/install_em_grid/Disk1/stage/products.xml"
    ORACLE_HOME="/opt/app/oracle_em/product/10.1.0/em_1"
    REMOVE_HOMES={"/opt/app/oracle_em/product/10.1.0/em_1"}
    s_mountPoint="/opt/app/oracle_em/product/10.1.0/em_1/oradata"

    sl_adminPwdsConfirm={"password", "password", "password"}
    s_dbSid="emrepos"
    s_globalDBName="emrepos.home.com"
    I installed again with this response file, everything going up ok, the only problem is that I can not login to the respository database with the password i set in my response file. that means I HAVE TO change them at the db site.

  • HT204088 I can't login to see my purchases

    I'm trying to see my purchases and billing how do I see it

    On an iPad you can see your billing info by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and selecting View Apple ID on the popup that you get, and then tapping Payment Information. You can't see your purchase history as you can on a computer's iTunes (i.e as you can with Store > View My Account), all you can see are the previous purchases that are available for re-downloading from the store via the Purchased tabs in the App Store and iTunes store apps

  • Snow Leopard install - can't login to my account since install

    I installed Snow Leopard last night, but since then have not been able to login to my own 'account' since them, am on a test account which I setup before, when having problems. The login only goes so far, it stops at the blank background and the spinning wheel spins for ages, machine chuggs, and then that's it. It does nothing, no apps, no hard disc icon, nothing. Just the photo I have on the background. HELP??? Anyone???

    Try Starting up in Safe Mode. (Be patient: Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup.)
    If you can then log into your normal account successfully, it means something in that account is still causing problems, like a login item, bad preference file, etc. If you are lucky, the steps Safe Boot does to remove bad caches, etc. will fix the problem (see What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? for more about these steps) & on a normal restart everything will be OK. More likely, it won't fix it & you will need to do more troubleshooting.
    For that, it would help to know what problems you were having before you created the test account.

  • Can't Login With Network Account After Upgrade To Yosemite Server 4

    I've been putting off this troubleshooting for a while now, and after trying everything I could find, decided to post.
    - After upgrading my server to Yosemite with Server 4, and my MacBook to Yosemite, I can no longer login with any network accounts.
    - I was on clean installs of Mavericks before the upgrade.
    - I'm using SSL for the OD, with a GoDaddy cert, the same one that was working on Mavericks.
    - I've tried removing the laptop's binding using the Users and Groups preferences dialog, which does not remove the laptop's entry from Open Directory, so I manually deleted the record on the server.
    - I then choose to Join again, and it looks as though everything goes through, but I still cannot login with a network account.  Also, when rejoining, it does not create a binding on the server.
    - If I use the Directory Utility->Services->LDAPv3, and add it that way, entering the FQDN and checking Encrypt..., Use for auth and Use for contacts, it asks me for the directory admin username and password, and does in fact create the binding on the server, but I still cannot login.  What's strange about that method, is that it forces the use of the IP address of the server, rather than the FQDN, like I entered it, which would of course have problems, because the certificate's common name is the server's FQDN.  It does not allow me to change from using the IP address, graying out that field.
    - I've also tried destroying the OD and restoring from archive to no avail.
    It looks like many users have hit dead ends with this, with some having success by completely formatting and setting up a new iteration of the server, but I will not be doing that.  However, I'll be happy to try any other suggestions.
    Thanks for your time,
       -- Mike

         Okay, I've finally resolved the issue, thanks to the Apple Enterprise tech support team.  I'm thinking they wouldn't mind if I share this information, but I can't guarantee that this will work on your system or, worse yet, degrade your system further.  However, that's fairly unlikely, just make sure you have plenty of backups before you begin any troubleshooting session.
         So I was told to perform the following instructions, which I did, line for line.  The part about closing Server.app seems a given, but I'm not sure why they want you to open Server.app at the the end (maybe taken out of context from some other instructions?).  I did it anyway, but you should be able to begin testing, on a client workstation, right after rekerberizing is complete.  I did, however, need to reboot my client, login as local admin, and then binding would proceed, and network users are able to login again.  The engineer also let me know to expect an error, something like the following: "2015-03-11 21:58:38 +0000 Error synchronizing removal of attribute draft-krbPrincipalACL from record 72519e4c-7ac7-15e4-bd42-10adb1944cbc: 77013 result: 16 No such attribute" - this is apparently normal, and did in fact happen in my experience.
    So here's the fix:
    - Quit Server.app (don’t just close the window)
    - On the Open Directory Server, execute these Terminal commands:
      - sudo mkdir /var/db/openldap/migration/
      - sudo touch /var/db/openldap/migration/.rekerberize
      - sudo slapconfig -firstboot
    - Open Server.app
    And that's it.  I did nothing else on my OD server, just logged out.  Immediately tried binding on my MacBook client, it failed, I rebooted, tried again, it worked quickly, and I'm able to login with network user accounts again.

  • Clients can't login to OD when home folders are on server

    Lion Server 10.7.2, Lion Clients 10.7.2
    Fresh new server, not a single service is on, except for file sharing, dns, open directory.
    After setting up network, time to add some clients.
    Clients whose homefolders are marked as "only local" (in server app), can login to their account on a client machine, with obviously local homefolders.
    The moment the "only local" setting is changed to a network homefolder location (the default "Users"), they can no longer login, and get a simple message not being able to login.
    I do not have a lot of knowledge of servers, but this is a real simple setup:
    Fresh server, only one client machine (for now).
    In Directory Utility (on server AND client), the HomeDirectory and NFSHomeDirectory are matching, and pointing at the selected path for this network-user. As is in Workgroup manager, the homefolder path is pointing where is should.
    Just tried on a leopard client machine. Binding OD in seconds, but with the same client login result.
    Can anyone help me with this one?
    Thanks

    Yes indeed kjamezzz, that was my problem.
    But same as Good-heart, no connection possible to OD when away from server. Probably because the 'Users and Groups" preferences point to OD-server  server.local  instead of the external DNS record. But the client can't find the OD server when pointing to the external DNS record, even when they are in the same network.

  • CAN TMS BE DONE BTWN THREE EP7 INSTALLED ON EACH SERVER ?

    Hi Everybody !!!
    ...I want to know that , is it possible to
    - Transport a Request between three EP 7.0 installed on three different Server and configured as Dev, Prod, QA ?
    - Transport a Request between three different client on the same server, if each one is configured as  Dev. Prod and QA
    The above scenario arises out of the limited resources available for SAP Basis Admin Training ?
    Helpful answeres would be rewarded without failure ...
    Many Thanks in

    Well.. A transport can be done btwn three clients within the same SAP system , but there's no way you can define each / any of them as DEV / PROD / QA ..this is what I have found out from the research on the sap portal and net.
    Cheers!!!

  • How can I install InDesign CS6 with my newly purchased serial no. when I have deleted the trial?

    hi guys,
    I need to know how I can install InDesign CS6 with my newly purchased serial no. when I have deleted the trial version? In other words I do not have the trial version any longer so I need the actual download files/folder to link the serial number to. I have CC as well but that shouldn't make a difference - I need to run InDesign CS6 for third party plugins.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi there,
         If you have purchased CS6 Indesign Download from Adobe Online, then you can go ahead and login to your Adobe account and navigate to "My Adobe" > "My Orders" to locate the Order, its download and the serial number.
         You can also download the same trial version again and just use the serial number to activate it to a full version. Below is the link for the trial versions for CS6 versions:
