Unable to enable disk quotas in workgroup manager, X.4.8 server

I am trying to enable disk quotas in workgroup manager for our open directory users with mobile accounts.
I select "sharing" ---> all ---> drive that home directories are stored on ---> select "Enable disk quotas on this volume."
I am able to click the tab but when I attempt to save it gives me "unable to save changes." How can I save the changes? Do I have to use the CLI for this?
This is similar to this previous unsolved question on the boards: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2495400
I'm not trying to make any other changes when I'm saving this, and am authenticated as the directory admin. Any help is a big help!

Nevermind, I found the answer in the archives after much searching. Went in via CLI and deleted the files below...voila! Disk quota goodness ensues and all is well.

"I answer my own question. I deleted the two files ".quota.ops.user" and ".quota.user" at the root level of each disks and now I can activate disk quota."

WGM Sharing "Enable disk quotas on this volume" greyed out

I plan on enabling disk quotas on my server and noticed that the checkbox for enabling quotas is greyed out. How do I enable it?
It's a basic server that does my mail, afp, and website.

I am not terribly familiar with WGM and Server, but I noticed that we could not "enable disk quotas" on a share-point, but could on an actual drive, the volume (click the ALL tab up top). We have 3 Drives, System, Data, an backup, with multiple share-points on the drives..
We have 10.4.2 Server
Since there is no need for me to enable it, I did not follow through with it to see where it led me...
Just my $.02, and it could be worthless, anyway.

Unable to authenticate with diradmin in Workgroup Manager

This has happened before, and I have no idea how it got fixed - too many independent variables...
Anyway, I cannot authenticate the OD with diradmin even while using Workgroup Manager directly on the server.
The setup:
SLS 10.6.8
Split-brained DNS
     Both public and private FQDNs are the same (myserver.mydomain.com). External DNS maps machine record to my static public IP address. Using an AirPort Extreme router, port fowarding services that I want open to the server. The router provides DHCP via NAT to the local network, with a fixed private IP assigned to the server. The server is running DNS with the same zones, machine records, services and aliases that the public IP DNS has, except mapped to the fixed private IP. DNS checks out with changeip, etc.
     The server is an OD master. Yesterday I exported it, demoted it, and restored it. All services (mail, web, etc.) seem to work fine (although I admit to not using Kerberos on AFP due to another issue).
     I have a wildcard certificate that is generated by GoDaddy (*.<mydomain>.com) which seems to work fine with the hosted websites.
This is what the password service error log says when I try to log in with diradmin in Workgroup Manager:
Jan 10 2012 14:01:32    AUTH2: {0x4bbe71ca6b8b45670000000200000002, diradmin} DHX authentication succeeded.
Jan 10 2012 14:01:32    KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4bbe71ca6b8b45670000000200000002, diradmin} is in good standing.
Jan 10 2012 14:01:32    KERBEROS-LOGIN-CHECK: user {0x4bbe71ca6b8b45670000000200000002, diradmin} authentication succeeded.
Looks good to me. But I still get the "Information Not Valid for This Server" followed by stuff about invalid login ID or password.
I did notice in the LDAP log:
Jan 10 14:13:12 <myserver> slapd[52283]: SASL [conn=18] Failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Key table entry not found)
And at the last bootup in the directory service error log:
2012-01-10 08:52:03 EST - T[0x00007FFF7027ACC0] - DNSServiceProcessResult returned -65563
The other thing I notice when I log into the library in Workgroup Manager FROM THE SERVER, even if I use the FQDN <myserver>.<mydomain>.com that Workgroup Manager says (in the title bar of the window) <myserver>.local.
I have googled the various errors and messages, and I get folks with all sorts of variations ("change the binding options", etc.) none of which either applied or worked.
Help?

Continuing on my quest... I found this Technical note from Apple about re-kerberizing:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3655
Interestingly, in step 3 where it says to remove realm information from kdc.conf, there wasn't any of my realm information. Argh!
So I completed all of the steps and executed the slapconfig command. This resulted in:
bash-3.2# slapconfig -kerberize -f --allow_local_realm diradmin <MYREALM>
diradmin's Password:
Could not resolve hostname <MYDOMAIN>
Skipping Kerberos configuration
Sounds like a dreaded DNS problem. It had been working correctly, but changeip -checkhostname confirmed a problem. Turns out that there were EXTERNAL DNS servers in the Network preferences in System Preferences as well as on the router. With my Split-brained DNS this caused problems (thank you again MrHoffman). So I changed them both to my DNS server INTERNAL IP address and added the external ones to the Forwarder IP Address in DNS. Now checkhostname -changeip returns a favorable result.
So after rebooting ran the slapconfig command again and got the same result. Argh. Cleared DNS caches. Still nothing.
So I tried nslookup.
nslookup <mydomain>
Server:                    10.0.8.2
Address:          10.0.8.2#53
** server can't find <mydomain>: SERVFAIL
Where 10.0.8.2 is the fixed INTERNAL IP address.
However, nslookup on using the fixed IP address yields:
bash-3.2# nslookup 10.0.8.2
Server:                    10.0.8.2
Address:          10.0.8.2#53
2.8.0.10.in-addr.arpa          name = <mydomain>.
Scratching head here... changeip -checkhostname works, nslookup on the IP address works, but nslookup on the host name fails.

Enable disk use and Manually manage music and videos

When I go to Summary, Enable disk use is checked but dim, so I can't change it. Manually manage music and videos is checked and not dim. Is this enough to do so that I can manage the videos I have shot on my Nano from iTunes, or do I have to do it from iPhoto?

Hello JohnKerr48,
I can manage the videos I have shot on my Nano from iTunes, or do I have to do it from iPhoto?
You have to manage them via a Finder window, through iMovie, or iPhoto. They cannot be managed via iTunes unless you copy them from your Nano onto your Mac and then import them into your iTunes library. For more information, see this Apple support document.

How to enable disk quotas in Lion Server (OS X 10.7.5)?

Hello, all. I am having an impossible time trying to set disk quotas in Lion Sever (OS X 10.7.5) and have searched these (and many other) forums to no avail. Basically, as my network will have mixed PC and Mac users I have set the primary home share folder to SMB. I understand that quotas should be enabled without a hitch under AFP, but this will not suffice for PC clients. I have set quotas in WGM but when I check from a remote connection it shows folder capactiy as the volume's total capacity where the home folder resides.
As the latest version of Server Admin does not have a file share section, how can I do this? I understand it may be possible from the terminal, but having little experience with terminal I would prefer not set it myself (man quotaon was less than helpful).
Thank you in advance for any help.

Not 100% sure, but i think "password change" feature requires Open Directory and SSL encryption for Web.
Has you enabled OD?
Did you try at least a self-signed SSL certificate for Web?

Unable to enable disk use

Can someone Help? I am not able to enable the disk use. Won't allow me to click to enable.My setting is on manual manage. Thank you.

Hello there,
"Enable Disk Use" option is greyed out in iTunes because you are manually managing your iPod, which means disk use is already enabled on your iPod because it is a feature of manual management.
[iPod: Enable Disk Use dimmed in Preferences|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1783]
Hope this helps.

Unable to enable HBA Card in the Cisco UCS c22 m3 server

Hi All,
I need your help desperately to setup the cisco ucs c22 m3 server in our environment. We have a C22 M3 server and I did the basic config of CIMC and we have a LSI megaraid controller connected to one of the PCIe and the other PCIe has a dual port 8gb HBA card. We installed the RAID and we can see the LSI Megaraid controller. But I cannot see the HBA card and there is noo light near the card. I hope I need to enable something so that the card should work. I tried enabling in the BIOS menu I can see the PCIe slot is enabled but I am unable to see the HBA functioning. Couldyou pleasehelp me to resolve this.

Dear Manuel,
Thanks for replying me. See the answers for your queries.
What kind of HBA card are you trying to use?
If I am not wrong we are using "Qlogic QLE2562, 8Gb dual port Fibre Channel HBA".
How many CPUs do you have installed on your server?
I opened the box and saw only 1 CPU installed. But the solution is given by CISCO pre sales. We have 2 PCIe slots configured. One for LSI RAID controller and the other with dual port Fibre Channel HBA.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Jaffer Ali

Setting disk quota on Mac server for Active Directory users

I'm having trouble setting disk quotas for Active Directory users with home folders on our Mac server.
I've enabled disk quotas on the disk I'm putting home folders on, and I can set disk quotas for local users on the server just fine. But it doesn't seem to work for Active Directory users. I've tried setting disk quotas via Workgroup Manager and via the command line using edquota. But when I use the repquota command there is no quota entry for the AD user. I've run quotacheck and that didn't help either.
I also understand there's a setquota command but there's no man page on how that works.
Has anyone got disk quota for AD users working.
Better still has someone got a shell or perl script for setting quotas they could post.
Thanks
- Cameron

sorry.. I am soooooo stupid... I have to activate "File Sharing" as well.. for the user everything was already pre-activated, not for the AD users, I just saw the Time Machine checkbox grayed out ...

Disk quota not showing proper

i have a problem with 10.4 server which is installed on a powermac G5 2.5 Ghz System.
I have created users on the internal volume and have enabled disk quota on it.. i have given 30 gb for each users and totally i have created 3 users..
and when i access these users from the network, first time it shows the total volume availabe (my Hdd is 250 Gb) and when i restart the machine am getting only 2 gb as available volume space through the network..
I have tried updating to 10.4.5, still problem persist
Acctually i found the problem as the disk quota is not allocating space more than 2 Gb for all users.
can anyone help me in this

Yes I've noticed this bug too. I think its a bug in Workgroup Manager or the command line programs WGM calls. If you use the edquota command to set disk quotas you can set them to what every you like.

Enable Disk Use Setting Consistently Reset by iTunes

Hello.
Due to the large amount of music on my iPod and the small amount of storage on my old Windows XP laptop, I retained my iTunes library on an external HD. It crashed last weekend on the same day I was ready to migrate the music to my new 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro. I've purchased a new external drive to restore the music from my iPod, and purchased iPodSoft's iGadget to move music from my iPod to the new external HD.
The problem is that when I click 'Enable Disk Use' and 'Manually manage music...' in iTunes after overriding the iTunes auto sync feature (using ctrl/shift), it isn't retained on the iPod (60 GB 5G). The next time I dock the iPod it prepares to auto-sync. For example, if I monitor My Computer while the iPod is mounting, I see the iPod listed as an external drive, but it drops shortly after, almost as if it's not even making note of the iTunes change to Enable Disk Use. As a result, since it's not being retained as a stable drive, I can't copy from iGadget, nor can I apply the setting for Enable Disk Use.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? It worked for a little while, and some music was copied down to my new external HD, but then iTunes froze and I had to start over. Since that point it doesn't recognize the override setting.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I don't understand. I've used my iPod touch as a disk drive before, but after I installed the new iOS update the device stopped being discoverable as a folder from Windows Explorer. there's about 15 GB of files on it that I can't access. It's all useless space now, I can't even delete them from my iPod without restoring it...
the iPod touch has never had the option to Enable disk use.
However you thought you were doing it, it was not an option in iTunes unless you used some other application to hack iTunes.

10.6.8 Server - workgroup manager not authenticated

I have 10.6.8 Server that has suddenly stopped accepting the dradmin password when using Workgroup Manager. Workgroup Manager connects, but in not authenticated mode. When I click the lock icon and am prompted for the ID & Password it is rejected. I know with 100% certainty I am using the correct administrator ID and password. I am running Workgroup Manager directly on the server computer. I'm able to log on to the computer as the local administrator. Server Admin works fine with no authentication issues.
I have not applied the 10.6.8 Supplemental update, but wonder if that might be helpful.
It is very concerning to be locked out of my own server. Any suggestions why this is happening and how to reslove it?
Thank you,
-Joe

The logs revealed that dradmin was actually authenticating successfully, but for some reason Workgroup Manager was still in unauthenticated mode. I installed 10.6.8 Supplemental update and found no improvement.
All users have portable home directories and everything with Open Directory was functioning properly. DNS and Kerberos were confirmed to be working properly. Several restarts and shutdown/startups were performed and I never was able to get Workgroup Manager to authenticate. So after a few hours troubleshooting last weekend I decided to restore the server to a disk image that was created 20 days earlier. I elected to do this this because I needed to get it resolved on the weekend to minimize the chance of downtime during business hours. The only thing on the boot drive is the server OS an everything else is stored on an external RAID so it was fairly simple for me to restore then get everything current again.
I kept an image of the server with the problem so I can restore it to a standby server to experiment with any possible fixes that I may come across in the future. As of now I don't know why it happened nor how to fix it without restoring.

Setting disk quotas

Using a G4 xserve running 10.4.9 with WGM 10.4.4. I am trying to set up disk quota for student users. I have enabled disk quotas on the volume called "Home' which contains a folder 'Students' with students home directories. Then restarted the server. Now when I view the volume in WGM sharing the volume 'Home' does indeed have disk quota enabled but the action does not apply down to nested folders specifically one called 'Students'. and so the quotas I have set do not hold. any thoughts

The disk quotas work in conjunction with an open directory system. Do you have this server running as an OD Master?

Enabling Disk Use For Car Stereo

Hi there,
I'm wanting to connect my iPod via my Car Stereo's USB port, and control the ipod still so I can choose which songs to play.
I was told if I enabled disk use AND manually manage songs, it would allow me to do this, but so far, after a few seconds of reading the ipod, songs are played in a random order through my car stereo and I have no control from the iPod.
Please explain what I need to do.

I don't think so. Disk use allows you to use the iPod as a storage device - as far as I know you cannot play music while it's in Disk mode, nor can you take audio from the USB port on the iPod. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!). Manually managing songs is the method for adding or removing content from the iPod, not a means of controlling it from a head unit.
Whether you can connect your iPod to your car and how it will work depends upon the car, model and year of manufacture. I used a Dension adaptor that plugs from the Dock connector on the iPod to the back of the stereo in my Mazda 3. I can choose any album, genre or playlist but usually I set the ipod to "shuffle all songs" mode and then plug it into the adaptor. Once connected, I can control track skip and track back from the steering column but I cannot see track information on the car's display. The iPod turns off and back on with the car ignition.
However, my sister-in-law has a Mazda MX-5, but her (Bose) stereo will only play from the first five playlists and that's it! Quite who thought that was a good idea, I cannot imagine! I believe this issue has been corrected on newer models.
So you see, two models from the same company give different results. Oh, and by the way, when I had the adaptor fitted, my supplier tried to sell me an FM transmitter type adaptor and I recall having a very heated discussion with them about this as they had already fitted the wired adaptor I wanted to a friend's Mazda 3.
My advice is that you see a car audio specialist who can then advise you (properly, I hope) on what options are available to you and your car. Look up Dension though, but treat with caution their claim about using USB. I've noticed that you and Kenichi have exchanged a few more comments while I'm writing this, so I now know you have a Sony head unit. It may not be able to display the iPod screens, but I'm sure Sony make iPod adaptors for their head units..
I still think you need to consult a car audio specialist, who knows what they are talking about. I think even your local Halfords may be able to help. It can't help to try them.
Phil.
